Have yon Itcgistercd ?
What Republican cannot answer this
question in the affirmative ? If you cannot,
register at once. Don’t procrastinate. Pro
crastination is the thief of time. You may
bo sick to-morrow, or next week. Without
a certificate of registration, you can neither
vote for Mayor or member of Council. You
are all vitally interested in the municipal
election. A lot of hungry i .aocratic ex
officials are now greedily waiting to get hold
of the city, so that they can crush every
Republican in the city, or who has ever
expressed any sympathy for our party. They
may wheedle and talk smooth as oil, but
that is their ultimate object. You have the
power to defeat and destroy their mischievous
schemes; but to do that, you must register.
Remember, that if you have resided in the
State one year and in the city for six months,
you are a voter. You know whether or not
Augusta is your home. You may have been
temporarily away. There arc few persons
who have not been temporarily absent from
the city during the past year, under some
pretext or another. We do not desire any
Republican to attempt to register, w|io does
not feel himself fully entitled to register
under the law. But if you feel yourself
entitled lo vote, the first step necessary is, to
register.
Bolter Lille than Never.
The Charleston Courier's denunciation of
the assassination of colored men comes late;
but we rejoice at it, nevertheless. The press
is all powerful, ami can work a wonderful
reform in this day of political intoleration.

Alarm of Fire.
Tuesday morning about 2 o’clock, Big
Steve struck the fire alarm for the Third
District, which brought out the Fire Depart
ment, and after a vigorous search with lighted
lamps, they returned to their homes, philoso
phising that the Bell Tower man was either
dreaming, or had the night-mare.

Avoid Confusion.
If pedestrians would observe the simple
admonition which is posted at the city
bridge, in large plain letters, “keep to the
right and pass in a slow walk,” when they
meet on our crowded streets, there would
be fewer oaths uttered, less occasions for
apologies, “beg pardons” and similar ex
pressions which arc called forth by two
foolish people attempting to pass each
other by running one against the other.
Keep “well to the right” and all this con
fusion will be obviated.

Houghton Institute.
We are pleased to learn that the daily
attendance of pupils at this admirable
school has steadily increased since its re
opening, and that Mayor Blodgett lias
found it necessary to appoint an additional
Teacher—Mrs. Mary Russell, who entered
upon her duties yesterday. Mr. Calvin,
the Principal, has graded the school: Pri
mary Department, under Miss Parmeijse
and Mrs. Russell; Miss Cot fix in charge
of the Intermediate Department; and the
Grammar Department, separate for girls-and
boys, under care of Mr. and Mrs. Calvin
Mr. Calvin and his assistants appear to be in
downright earnest, and we trust that the
number of their pupils will continue to in
crease until every ignorant boy and girl in
Augusta have been entered.
Our Book Table.
Harper’s New Monthly Magazine. Har
per & Brothers, New York. $4 per
annum.
The November number—now before ns —
closes the thirty-seventh volume of this in
teresting magazine. The leading papers in
this number are : Fish-culture in America,
and Explorations in Lower California
(second paper), each numerously illustrated.
The Little Corporal. Alfred L. Sewell and
Emily Huntiugtou Miller, Editors. A. L.
Sewell, Publisher, Chicago, 111. Terms SI
per annum.
This is a beautifully printed quarto of six
teen pages. It is an original magazine for
Girls and Boys, ‘and for older people who
have young hearts.” The editors claim that
it has “a larger circulation than any other
juvenile magazine in the world,” and, while
we cannot vouch for the truth of the state
ment, we think it deserves universal favor
with the youngsters everywhere. The Little
Corporal is engaged in a glorious cause —
that of “Fighting against Wrong, and for
the Good, the True and the Beautiful. We
wish it much success.
Lippincott’s Magazine. J. B. Lippincott &
Co, Philadelphia. Yearly subscription,

of very choice literature, which the reader
will infer from its table of contents, viz:
Malala’s Drive, an American story ; Scicn.

Dr. Aar, a Tale ; Forest Recollections : Sil

Prusvia Hearing Elberal TeaUiuouy.
The Medical College of Breslau, Prussia,
by command of the Government, instituted
enquiries in regard to the purity of Dr. Rad
way’s Pills. The following is a copy of the
report, after a thorough analysis, signed by
Professors of the College :
Report oj an Analysis of Raditay's Regu
lating Pills,
Instituted for the satisfaction of the
Prussian Government and people. It ap
pears that the great popularity of the Pills
throughout Germany, as an aperient, anti
billions and alterative medicine, had pro
voked the malice of the apothecaries, who
caused a report to be circulated that the
ingredients were poisonous. Therefore a
scientific inquisition into their nature and
properties was ordered, the issues of which
was a most triumphant vindication of the
sanitary value of the Pit's.
The Faculty of the College state in their
report that after a careful and minute ex
amination, they have the honor to state that
“ the Pills are not only free from every sub
stance injurious to health, but arc composed
wholly of substances and elements promotive
of digestion, and certain at the same time to
act favorably upon the nervous system,”
etc., etc. They state, further, that the inju
rious rumors set afloat by the Prussian
apothecaries originated “in a mean spirit of
trade jealousy, excited by the great celebrity
attained by the Pills within a vgry brief
period.”
Signed in behalf of the College.
Da. Phil. Theobald Warner,
Director of the Polytechnic Bureau.
Dr. Heise,
First Assistant.
Dr. Badway's Pills are sold by Druggists
aim Country Merchants everywhere.

The Georgia Railroad.- -In travelling
over this road recently, we were gratified to
see the most perfect system with which the
road is managed. The trains run strictly
to time, and make, perhaps, as good time as
any other road in the South. The cars are
kept in the neatest condition, with all the
accommodations that could be expected on
a railway.
We had the pleasure of making the ac
quaintance of Mr. S. K. Johnson, Assistant
Superintendent, to whom much credit is due
for the good management and prosperous
condition of this road. Mr. Johnson is a
gentleman of large business experience, de
termined energy,and is thoroughly convers
ant with railroadisin. He is certainly the
"right man in the right place,” and we con
gratulate the company and the business
public upon having his services in so im
portant a position.— Elberton Gaze'tc.
An exchange says, it is rumored that
after the 4th of November, Mr. Seymour
will devote his ample leisure to preparing
an agricultural work, to be called “The
History of the Watermelon, from the
earliest ages to the present time.” Were it
not “personal” we would say that the report
is not credited here.

Proclamation by Gov. Bullock-
Atlanta, October 20.—Governor Bullock
issues the following proclamation :
Whereas, It is reported by reliable citi
zens from many counties, that preparations
are being made to collect onerous taxes
levied under authority of the Constitution of
1865, and, failing to collect, to apply the
provisions of the present Constitution, and
thereby exclude many citizens from the
privilege of franchise:
Therefore, By virtue of the authority in
ine vested by the 70th .Section of the Code
of Georgia, I do hereby suspend the collec
tion of all poll taxes until the next regular
session of the General Assembly of this
State.
The Comptroller General will forthwith
give notice to the Tax Collectors of the
several counties.
♦
Change of Candidates.
Washington, Oct. 20.—The pressure for
a partial change of candidates continues,
and rather gains strength.
The New Y'ork Woild and the Washing
ton Intelligencer persist in urging the
change. To-day’s fFmZdsays: “It was our
wish then, as it is our determination now,
that the views of Governor Seymour, and
not those attributed by the Republicans to
General Blair, should be regarded as the
basis of the campaign on the Democratic
side. Tensof thousands of credulous citizens
who incline toward the Democratic party
have been retained in flic Republican ranks
by the ‘raw head and bloody bones’ of
another civil war. The absurdity of this
bug-bear led us to underrate his capacity
for mischief. It is strange that anybody
should have believed that the Democratic
party meant to disperse the negro legisla
tures by the Federal army, but it is not at
all surprising that those who did so believe
should vote against us. As it was some
imprudent expressions of General Blair
that gave color to this foolish fear his
withdrawal is the shortest way to correct
the misapprehension.”
News from Washington.
Washington, October 20.—General Wm.
Preston, of Kentucky, is pardoned.
There are many applications for Hooker’s
vacancy. General Stoneman is the most
favored candidate.
General Grant is in Galena; no intima

Excitement Among the Classes-
Charleston, October 20.—Considerable
excitement prevails among the colored pop
ulation of Charleston, on account of the
murder of Randolph, who was well known
here. News was received to-day that in
Newberry,, on Sunday, a party of negroes
fired on two white men, wounding one of
them. Next day a negro, who was supposed
to be the leader of the assailants, was shot
and killed by unknown parties. This intel
ligence has increased the excitement, and a
meeting of the colored people is called for
to-morrow to decide what measures arc to be
taken regarding these disorders.

/X Pre > c lamatio li.
In the year which in now drawing to its end,
the art, the skill, and tho labor of the people of the
United States have been employed with greater
diligence and vigor, and on broader fields than
ever before, and the fruits of the earth have been
gathered into the granary and storehouse in mar
velous abundance. Our highways have been
lengthened, and new and prolific regions have
been occupied. We arc permitted to Hope that
long protracted political and sectional dissensions,
at no distant day, will give place to returning
harmony mill Iraternal affection throughout the
Republic. Many foreign Slates have entered into
liberal agreements with us, while nations which
are fur off, and which heretofore have been
unsocial and exclusive, have become our friends.
The annual period of rest, which we have
reached in health and tranquility, and which is
crowned with so many bb esings, is by universal
consent u convenient and -uitable one for culti
rating personal piety and pin. tiring public devo
tion. t
. I, therefore, recommend that Thursday, the
twenty sixth day of November next, be set apart
and observed by all the people of the United
States as n day of public praise, thanksgiving and
prayer to the Almighty Creator aud Divino Ruler
of the Universe, by whose ever watchful, merciful
and gracious providence alone States aud Nations,
no less than families and individual mon, do live
and move.atid have their being.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my
hand, and caused the seal of the United States to
tie affixed.

Proclamation
BY THE GOVERNOR.
MKiiKAs, Notwithstanding the Executive
Proclamation of September 14th, 1868, many
lawless acts have occurred in violation thereof,
whereby tho lives and property of citizens have
been destroyed, tho right of free, speech im
paired, the performance of tho duties of the
offices to which citixeas have been elected, de
nied, the lives of citizens so threatened as to
cause them to abandon their homes and prop
erty ; „
Aho Whereas, “The protection of persons
and property is the paramount duty of Gov
ernment, and shall .be impartial and com
plete
Anu Whereas, Tho Sheriff of each county is,
by law, charged with tho preservation of life,
property and peace in each county:
Noiu, Therefore, I, Rufus B. Bullock, Gov
ernor, and Commander-in-Chics of the Army
and Navy of the State of Georgia, and of the
Militia thereof, do hereby issue this >ny Procla
mation, charging and commanding the said
Sheriffs, and each and every other civil officer in
every county in this State, to see to it that the
lives and property of all citizens, and the peace
of the community, ate preserved ; and that all
persons are protected in tho free exercise of their
civil and political rights and privileges. And,
further, to make known that, for failure in the
performance of duty, the said Sheriffs and other
civil officers will bo hold to a strict accountability
under the law. And, to charge upon every per
son, resident in this State, that they render
prompt and willing obedience to the said Sheriffs
and other civil officer, under all circumttancee
ethateoecer ; and that they demand from said
officers protection, when threatened or disturbed
in thoir person or property, or with .dunlal of
political or civil rights ; aud that, failing to
receive such protection, they report facts to this
Department.
Tho following extract from General Orders No,
27, dated October 8, 1868, from Headquarters,
Department of tho South, is published for tho
information of Civil Officers and tho general pub
lic, by which it will bo seen that said Civil Offi
cers will, in the performance of their duties, be
sustained by the military power of tho United
States. .
Given under my hand and tho Great Seal of the

Headquarters Department or the Sooth, )
Atlanta, Georgia, Oct. 8, 1868. (
General Ordere, No. 27.
“Whereas, by an act of Congress of the United
•States, approved March 2, 1865, it is made tho
duty of tho military authority to preserve tho
peace at the polls at any election which may bo
held in any of tho Stalos ; and, whereas, this
duty has become tho more imperative, from the
existing political excitement in tho public mind,
from tho recent organization of civil govern
ment, and from the fact that Congress has, by
statute, prohibited tho organization of military
forces in tho several States of this Department,
it is therefore ordered,
“That tho several District commanders will,
as soon as practicable, on the receipt of this
order, distribute tho troopstinder their commands
as follows :
» • ♦ • •
In tho District of Georgia:
Ono company I.6th Infantry, to Albany.
Ono company 16th Infantry, to Columbus. „ "
One company 16th Infantry, to Macon.
One company Ifith'lnfantry, to Augusta.
One company 16th Infantry, to Washington,
Wilkes county.
Ono company 16th Infantry, to Americus.
Ono company (C), sth Cavalry, to Athens.
The company at Savannah to be reintorced,
should occasion require, by such mon ut Fort
Pulaski as can bo spared from the post.
• * *
Detachments, when necessar- moy bo made
to points in the vicinity of each post; but in no
case, nor on any nrorext whatever, will detach
ments bo sent without ■ ommissionod officer, who
will bo fully instructed by his post com
mandos
"Tho troops will be considered as in tho field
and supplied with tho necessary camp equipage
too mon to bo furnished with common tonts i
practicable, and if not practicable, with shelter
tents. Commanding officers aru permitted to
hire quarters, temporarily, when it can bo done
for reasonable rates ; but this will not preclude
the necessity of carrying tents, as the commands,
in all cases, must bo in readiness to move at the
shortest notice, with all supplies required for
their efficiency.
“ District Commanders will instruct Post Com
manders in their duties, and the relative position
of the civil and military powers. They will
impress on Post Commanders that they arc to
act in aid anti co-operation, anti in subordination
to the civil authorities; that they are to exercise
discretion and judgment, unbiased by political
or other prejudices; that their object should be
exclusively to preserve tho peace and uphold law
nnd order, and they must be satisfied such is the
object of the civil officer calling on them for aid ;
that they must iu all cases, where time will
permit, apply for instruction to superior au
thority, but they must at all hazards preserve
tho peace, and not bo restrained by technical
points, when, in their conscientious judgment,
under the rules above set forth, it is their duty
to act. Post Commanders on being notified of
the proposed holding of political meetings, may
send an officer, and it necessary a detach
ment, to watch the proceedings and see that the
peace is preserved.
“To tho people of the several States compos
ing tho Department, tho Major General Com-,
iiiandiug appeals that they will co-operate with
him and the civil authorities in sustaining law
and order, in preserving the peace, and in avoid
ing those scenes of riot and bloodshed, and the
wanton destruction of property and life which
has already, in some instances, been enacted in
thia Department. Ho urges abstinence from all
inflammatory and incendiary appeals to tho
passions ; discountenancing the keeping open of
liquor shops on days of political meetings and of
election; the abstaining from carrying arms,
and asserting the individual right of construihg
laws by force of arms. No just cause is ever ad
vance! by- resort to violence. Lot there bo
charily and forbearance among political oppo
nents, whatever may bo the result. Let each
good citizen determine that all who, under tho
aw, Lave the right to tho ballot shall exercise it
undisturbed. If there are disputed points of
law, let them bo referred to tho Courts, and let
not mobs or political clubs, or other irresponsi
ble bodies, construe and undertake to
execute the law. This appeal is made in tho
earnest hope that the Major General Command
ing can rely on tho good scuse and correct
judgment of tho mass of the people, and that ho
will not he compelled to reaprt to the exercise of
the power with which ho is entrusted, and which
he will most reluctantly employ. But ho thinks
it his duty to make known, that so far as the
power ufilcr his command will admit, he will
not permit tbo peace to be broken, and that he
will not be restrained in the conscientious dis
charge of his duty by technicalities of laws made
when the present anomalous condition of affairs
were neither anticipated or provided for."
