The St. Lottis Democrat has a special from
Pine Bluff, Arkansas, dated October 17th,
which says Wm. J. Dollar, a J-puty sheriff
of Krew county, an old and citizen,

negro last night, and, both wee shot to death
by the Ku-Klux.

Within three months after Grant's elec
tion, the reign of terror will' cease, and
Northern men will be safe anywhere within
the-bounds of the late rebel States. This
will lead to the rapid development of the
resources of the South. It will secure to
the latter those two-clemenls which are so
much needed —capital and population.

The Savannah Rcpub'Han, in noticing the

“Now, let General Blair cornu out boldly,
and either agree with his friends or give

bold enough already to damn his pros petite

We would invite the special attention of
our readers, to the advertisement in to-day's
paper, of Mr. Wm. Shear, who is tire Agent
for several of the most responsible Insurance
Companies in the country. Mr. Smear is
well known toour citizens asu sterlin; busi
ness man, and reliable in all things. Those
of our friends whose property and lives are
mrinsured, would do well to confer with
him without delay.

Our Local did make a slight mistake, the

had caned their former Superintendent,
Col. Hulbert. That gentleman was pro.

worth four hundred and fifty dollars, and
not a walking stick. Some other luoky fel
low in Atlanta got the cane.

We bin e been shown by Lieut. Catley
the circular of the above Institution, which
is located at Washington, D. C. We notice
among the Officers and Faculty some-names
that are eminent in the Medical profession,
and the whole prospectus gives promise of a

18G8. Should there be. any persons desirous
of obtaining further information in regard
to this Institution, Lieut. Catley will be
pleased to give it. We perhaps should add,
that the circular concludes with the an-,
nouncement that it is expected that the
Trustees of the University will be able to
remit a part of the expenses «f deserving

Georgia Kailroad anil Bunking Co.
We are pleased to learn that the .Georgia
Railroad Company have determined,shortly,
t» nopen their Bank in this city. The
business interests of this sectLn require
greater Banking facilities than they have
enjoyed since the dose of the war; ahd
while we presume the Company will only
transact a “Discount and Deposit” business,
still that will boa great convenience. We
all know and respect the officers of the old
Georgia Railroad Bank, and but ftiirof its
old patrons wiH desert it. We nmution this
simply as an on dis, and to express our sin
cere hope that it moyprove true. Wc linve

subject with any officer or other person con

Spoke out in Meeting.
In a speech ip St. Louis, on the L6th
instant, General Frank Bi,air, the Demo
cratic candidate for the Vice Presidency,
declared that General Grant (if elected Io
the Presidency) would never leave the
White House alive !
Men of all parties, all over the country,
have been loth to believe that there existed,
in any portion l of tfic country, such an or
ganization as Ku-Klux ; but wc opine, th:,it
al! will now be convinced that the Ku Klux
is not merely a myth, and that men aspiring
to high positions in the gift of the people-are
identified with, if not members of, the mur
derous clau. We do net charge that General
Blair is a member, or that ke would play
the role of a Booth : but it clear to our
mind that a man who .would make such a
declaration has murder in his heart, and
govern a civilized people.
Here are General Blair's exact words, as
we find them reported in theMisiouri Demo
crat of the 17th :
* * * The point to whieh I desire to
bring you is this : That in this strugg'e we
have everytbjn<f , at stake; that it in the final
and last etruggie for the preservation of free,
constitutional government in America; that
if we fail in it the Republic fails with us,
[A voice—“No such word as fail.’’] It be
comes a more appendage of the military
chieftain, who is lifted to power in the name
of the President, but who never Jyill leave
the Presidential mansion alive,

Wfiat Republican cannot answer this
question m the affirmative ? 11 you cannot,
register at once. Don’t procrastinate. Pro
crastination is the shies of time. You may
be sick to-morrow, or next week. Without
a certificate of registration, you can neither
vote for Mayor or member of Gouuoil, You
are all vitally interested in the municipal
election. A lot of huugry Democratic ex
officials tire now greedily waiting to get hold
of the city, so that they can crush every
Republican in the eity, or who lias ever
expressed any sympathy for our party. They
may wheedle and talk smooth as oil, but
that is their ultimate object. Yon have the
power toalefeat and destroy their mischievous
schemes; but to do that, you moat register.
Remember, that if you have resided in the
State one year and iu the city fur six months,
you are a voter. You know whether or not
Augusta is your home. You may isr»v» betsti
temporarily away. There are few parsons
who have not been temporarily absent from
the eity-diiring' the past year, under some
pretext or another. Wo do not desire any
Repobliedn to attempt to register* who dees
not feel himself fully entitled to register
under the law. But if you feel yourself
entitled to vote, the first step necessary is, to
register.
RICHMOND SUPERIOR COURT.
Vason rs. City Council or Augusta ;
Chomb, rs, Q, t. 10th, 1868.
The questions presented by the Certiorari in
this case are tour, and I propose to dispose of
them in the order given by tlift learned Coun
sel hi this case:
Ist. That the summons issued and trial Was
had by and before the acting Mayor, and pot
the Recorder, of said City. Section 16, of the
Act of 1856, uses the following language : “That
the CityCdiuicU of,Augusta shall be, and they
are hereby, authorized to cleet an officer to be
known as a Recorder, in 'whom they may vest
exclusive jurisdiction of all violations of their
Ordinances, etc.” Can it be contended that, if
the City Council of Augusta had refused to elect
and organize a Recorder’s Court under the
above law that all violations of thc’Ordiuanccs
of the City must go unpunished ? The power
and discretion was, in my conferred
upon Council either to create the Court or not.
It being then, the creature of Council by virtue
of power in them vested, why may not, afttl
does not, the same power and discretion pass to
each and every successive Council elected or
appointed for the City of Augusta ? Will it be
said that aiiy vested rights or positive enactment
of the law Stic disturbed ? Vested rights of per
sons and corporations, I think, by themselves,
may be altered, changed and modified, and I
can sec no positive or absolute rcquircihent in
said Section that said Recorder’s Court shall
exist. I, therefore,-feel but little hesitancy in
overruling the first objection ; as by the Ordi
nance conferring the power on the Mayor uo
salary or compensation is added therefor.
The second and third grounds are much more
serious, and I will consider them together, as
they are of the same character. Admitting the
legality of the Court, and that all the powers of
the City arc properly exercised and in proper
hands, the second and third grounds of objec
tion are : that the City can not punisli for
Nuisance; and if they could, they can not punish
under this Ordinance, as it is in violatian of, Or
rather in conflict with, State Law. As a general
rule in the construction of statutes conferring
powers they should be construed strictly, yet
they should at tire’same time be so construed as
to give effect to the objects and intentions of
the Legislature. .The Act of 1798, incorporat
ing the City of Augusta, has the following: —
“And they shall also be vested with full power
and authority from time to time, uudcr their
common seal, to make and establish such By-
Laws, Rules, Ordinances, etc., etc., preferring
to particular objeets) and in general every other
By-Law or Regulation that shall appear to them
requisite and necessary for the security, welfare
and convenience of the said City, or for pre
serving peace,'order and ,/ood government with
in the same.” If then, the welfare of the citizens
of Augusta, or good government in the same,
require the passage of an Ordinance preventing
Nuisances therein, the power is clearly Vested in
the Act of Incorporation; and Section thirty can
be said to be but a legitimate excrete of power
in Council ai the time of its passage, and,, if so r
clearly the duty of the, Mayor to enforce it.—
Yet it is contended Section 4,05! of the revised
Code of Georgia, provides'a different mode of
punishment of Nuisances in. Incorporated Towns
and Cities ; and, hence, this Section of the Ordi
nances is in conflict With the Vode of Georgia.
A careful examinatiori' will suggest tq the trtind
that the Ordinance of the City does not propose
to abate, but to punisli, whilst the Section of
the Code only provides for an abatement when
in a Town or City. It may, however,Tic replied
that Section 4,478 of same Code prhvißcs for
the punishment of Nuisances by .State Law*—
Yet, if lor the welfare of the City of Augusta,
and to secure a good government therein, a
shorter and more Summary remedy has beep
provided to keep oil pestilence, disease and
annoyance from Its inhabitants, why, I ask, may
it not be applied. Believing then, as I do, that
it is of vital importance to -the citizens of
Augusta that no Nuisance should be maintained
or allowed in said City, and that the Act of In
corporation confers almost unlimited powers
on Council, and this being of the utmost im 7
.portaiKQ to the City, the second and third
grounds are refused, yet I can not say thatniy
mind is not entirely free from donbt; yet, it
being, a necessary power to secure the Obfcfts
of incorporation, I will maintain it. -
The fourth and last ground of objection, I
think, is wen settled—and if not, should be.
That is. that Defendant is not responsible for a
Nuisance committed by his tenant on lot during
the time o£ its occupancy by his tenant. Yet,
if a landlord so construct his scvrral buildings
on the premises occupied, or suffers them to
become dilapidated after construction that the
necessary ani proper use of those buildings ty
coiucs a nuisance, the case is quite
and such, from the evidence, I understand this
case to be; that the building complained of,
was so improperly erected, and now dilapidated,
that by necessary,'proper and legitimate use it
becomes and is a Nuisance; and in all such
cases the landlord is responsible, in Tny judg
ment, for the Niiisjucc; and, henCe, the
fourth and last grounds of Certiorari i« refused.
It is, therefore, ordered and adjudged that the
Judgment Ixdow 'stands confirmed, and that
Petitioner do pay tltc costs of this proceeding.

And dropped his head and tail.
His legs grow weak—his wings fell low -
His time was at an end;
Ho tried to flap his wings and crow,
But took the “ Grecian Bead.’’
The poor old bird is awful tick ;
Ho used to bo " a whale,"
And now because ho cannot crow
They offer him “ for sale.”

Tho rooster which tho lournal had,
That morn got out of breath ;
A carpet bagger took some stones
And pocked the bird to death.
A uigger hoard they had a coop,
And so he set a trigger
To catch the coon. A rebel came
An.d drove away tho nigger.
They’ve neither eoon nor rooster now,
Both lay upon the shelves;
They’re nothing loft to crow about,
Except it is—theouelvee.

Letter from Wade Hampton.
Chaki.eston, >S. C.,' Oct. 21 . The Daily
■Nines, this morning, publishes a letter from
Wude Hampton in reply to a Wisconsin
lawyer, who requests him, in view of the
wide-spread misrepresentationaof his course,
to define liis position us to the issues, re
sults and oonsequcnijes of the war.
Hampton aaysr The main issues in
volved in the war were secession and
slavery—the first Was the primary one, the
latter was brought in at a later period. In
regard to these I adopt fully, and without
reservation, the principles announced by
the late National Democratic Convention -in
New York, and in tin words of the plat
form promulgated there; I consider these
“questions as settled forever.” I accept this
as Ihe result accomplislred by the war and
as its logical and legitimate consequence.
This I have done from the day the war
closed, and I have counselled pur people to
look upon it in the same light. I was
strongly in favor of the action taken by
this State conferring on the negro equal civil
rights with the white man, and more than
a year ago I advocated the policy of giving
to him, as sxiu as wc had the [lower to do
so legitimately, suffrage based on qualifica
tion. The Democratic Convention neM here
in April last recognized him as “an integral
part of the body politic,’ and declared that
it would, when out party came into power,
grant him partial suffrage.
The Stale Central Club has just renllirmod
this declaration, and I have no doubt but
that the declaration is sustained by a vast
majority of the white citizens of the Slate.
We regardThc reconstruction acts as uneon
stituiional, but wo look for their overthrow
not to violence, but, in the language of a
resolution unanimously adopted by the Dem
ocratic party in Convention ass mbled, “to
ccmstitutiobal agencies and peaceful retne
dies alone.’’ We invoke a decision on the
constitutioiiality of these acks from the oiily
tribunal eofflpeteut to pronounce on them
the Siqu'erue Court of the Uyited Slates y
and we were prepared ingood Kith Io abide
by that decision.
It may not be imqipropriate here to cor
rect a misrepresentation, widely spread by
Radical papers, touching these acts.
In these I have been charged with having
dictated that (Mil lion ot the Democratic plat
form relating to reconstruction. This charge
I have more than once denied, aud 1 do so
again, most emphatically. The sense in
which I spoke of the words “unconstitu
tional, revolutionary and void," afi being my
plank in the platform, referred to them as
constituting the plank to which 1, as well us
any other Southern man, clung for safety.
The letter concludes as follows :
If the people of tilt! North wish to build
up a strong and tasting Union, let them be
magnanimous and generous to the people of
tire South. Let them confide more fully than
they have done to the honor qf our people,
and they will meet a eoidial and learlielt
response. '] he future destiny “I the Repub
lic is in the hands of tire North, and upon
their action it d 1 pends whether there is again
to lie a Union‘based on fraternal feeling, or
one held togetlicrby the iron bands of mili
tary rule.
Dtmocratic Diplomacy.
New Youk, October 21.—The Demo
cratic National Committee have issued un
address. It makes no allusion to any
change of candidates. It says:
“ We are charged by the. Radical (tarty
of violence and usurpation, which, lor the
.last four years, to prolong its own existence,
has set at naught the Constitution and
‘fundamental principles of our Government;
that we iutenu revolution and defi »oce to
the established Jaws, which aceustuipn is
unfounded and absurd, and it cannot be
entertained for a moment by an intelligent
voter, who has even the most superficial
knowledge of the history of his country.
Tlie Democratic party can proudly point to
every pi'Re of its record. It has never
violated a single obligation ot the funda
mental compact by which these United
Slates entered into tjbe family ot nations.
Its watchward, in peace as in war, has been
■and always will be, “ The Uni n, the Con
stitution and the Laws,” aAd no man, uor
any set of men, however high they may be
placed by the suffrages of their fellow
citizens, can expect to receive the support
of this great conservative party on any
revolutionary attempt against the estab
lished taws. The-ballot box, and ttye
supreme will of the American people, are
the only means of Tcdre>e to which we
look.” I
