General Order* No. 21.
Whereas, By an act of Congress of the
United States, approved March 2d, 1865, it is
made the duty of 'be military authority to pre
erve the peace at the polls at any election that
may be held in any of the States ; and Whereas,
this duty has become the more imperative, from
the existing political excitement in the pubiic
mind, from the recent organization of civil gov
ernment, and from the fact that Congress has,
by statute, prohibited the organization of mili
tary forces in the several States of this Depart
ment, it is therefore, ordered,
I. That the several District Commanders will,
as soon as practicab’c, on the receipt of this
order, distribute the troops under their com
mands as follows :

Till. I‘iniriut Commanders will instruct Post
1 'iiimanders in their duties, and the relative
I ■■Hinn of the civil and military powers. They
hull furnish them with copies of the circulars
r >ui these llcaquuarters, of August 25th, and
"I'tober Ist ult., (the latter of which was for
ivsrded September 15tb, to District Command
rrs), in which the instructions of the War De-
Inrlment uro set forth in full. They will
impress on Post Commanders that they are to
:r t in aid and co operation, and in subordination
t" the civil authorities;’that they are to exercise
1.-cretion ai d judgment, unbiased by political
"r other their object should be
exclusively to preserve the peace and uphold
hw and order, and they must be satisfied meh
i- the object of the eivit officer calling on them
nr ai l, that they must in all cases where time
will permit, apply for instruction to superior
authority, but they must at all hazards preserve
the peace, and not be restrained by technical
p -ini.-, when, in their conscientious judgment
under the rules above sot forth, it is their duty to
." i. Post. Commanders, on being notified of the
ptopii.ed holding of political meetings, may
nd an officer, and if necessary a detachment,
I” watch Ihe proceedings and sec that the peace

LX. To the people of the several States com
p '.-iiig the Department, the Major General Cvm
rannding appeals that they will co-operate with
him and the civil authorities in sustaining law
■old order, in preserving the peace and in avoid
i".r those scenes of riot and bloodshed, and the
anion destruction of property and life, which
has already, in some instances, been enacted in
I'iic Department. He urges abstinence from all
inflauimatory and incendiary appeals to the
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 construing
laws by force of arms. No just cause is ever
advanced by resort to violence. Lot there be
charity and forbearance among political oppo
nents, whatever may bo the result; lot each
irood citizen determine that all who, under the
law, have the right to the '-allot shall excreiso it
undisturbed. If there are disputed points of
law, let them be relorred to the Courts, and let
nut ui'ihs or political clubs, or other irresponsible
'"’dies, construe and undertake to execute the
law. This appeal is made in the earnest hope
'hat the Major General Commanding ean rely
" u the good sense and correct judgment of the
•nuss of the people, and that he will not be com
pelled to resort to tho exercise of the power with
which he is intrusted, and which he will most
elucuntly employ. But he Hiinks it his duty
make known, that so far as the power under

leace to he broken, and that he will not be

The American Artisan
UNITED STATES AND FOREIGN
PATENT AGENCY.
189 Broadway, New York.
Messis. BROWN, COOMBS & CO.. Proprie
tors of tho AMERICAN ARTISAN, offer their
best services to inventors, as Solicitors of Ameri
can and Foreign Patents. Mr. Henry T. Brown,
of this firm, lias had more than twenty-two gears'
experience in that profession, both in this country
and Europe, and his long practice bus made
him personally known to thousands of inven
tors ami patentees. The applications for the
patents upon many of the greater aud more im
portant in ventions of the present century have been
prepared by him. Messrs. Brown, Coombs & Co.,
are thoroughly familiar with all the rules and re
gulations instituted for the rapid tiansaction of
business with the United States Patent Office, and
the general practice in the Patent, Bureaus of vari
ous European countries: end this knowledge ren
ders them confident that their post experience, with
their present nnequaled facilities, enables them to
elaborately and yet speedily prepare all the docu
ments required by law in applications for patents,
and to promise their clients an absolute certainty
of soccer, im tbeirjeiforts to obtain Letters,Patent for
inventions that aie really new and useful. Parti
cular care is given to the execution oftbo accurate
drawings which must always accompany every
application for a patent, and they employ none blit
the most efficient draughtsmen. The best evidence
of the manner in which Messrs. Bbown, Coombs
&, Co.'s business is performed, is, that the “Amer
ican Artisan Patent Agency,” during the three
years of its existence, has been the. most successful
institution of the kind ever established.
The principal offices of Messrs. Brown. Coombs
& Co. are situated at 18!) Broadway, opposite John
street, New York, in the most central part of the
city. This locution is one of very easy access by
strangers inasmuch as it is within a stone's throw
from tlie City Hall. All inventors temporarily so
joiiruing in the metropolis are invited to visit this
establishment. Injtlie majority of instance no model
o. drawing of au invention will be necessary on
the first interview, as a mere oral description by
the visitor will ordinarily suffice to convey such
aknowledge of bits invention as will enable Messrs.
Brown, Coombs & Co. to definitely determine
wliethera machine or process is new or old—paten
table or not. The office hours are from 9 a.m.
to 5 r. M.
Messrs. Brown, Coombs & Co. are prepared to
lurnish to fiersoos residing at a distance from New
York—free of charge— written opinions as to
whether inventions contain any features of paten
table novelty; to do this they simply require a
sketch or rough model of the machine or other in
vention that is supposed to be new, together with
a brief description of the same, and as soon as pos
sible thereafter a let ter of the best advice is mail
ed to the person desiring the information. These
opinions are formed from their own mature exper
ience; but if au inventor desires to know, positively,
•whether his incipient idea has ever been embodied
in a machine or process already jmtented, bis wisest
course will lie to have a preliminary e.ramiiialion
made fit the United States Patent office by Messrs.
Brown, Coombs & Co., who will make a special
all the records of that institution, and
then promptly forward a full and carefully written
report as to the patentability of the invention uu
der examination. For this labor the small fee of
$5 is payable in advance -, aud the i emittance
should be accompanied by a sketch of the invention
and a few lines of writing describing the same,
and distinctly stating those pointsuf noveltv which
tlie inventor desires to have protected by Letters
Patent
Patents for new and useful inventions are now
granted for the term of seventeen years The
first instalment offbe Government tee js |ls, which
'on the power-of attorney-)-*is payable tn advance,
on applying for the patent; and |2O additional are
due to the Government when Ute Letters Patent are
allowed. The Agency fee is from $-'5 upward, ac
cording to the labor involved; but in all cases our
charges will be as moderate as possible in the pre
paration of drawingsand all necessary documents.
This fee is not payable until after the application
has been prepared and the case is ready Io be sent,
to Washington. Messrs. Brown. Coombs & Co.
have a branchin Washington so that all applies
tious made through them can have every necessary
attention in their passage through the Patent office
Inventors applying for patents must furnish
models of their machines, whenever possible, for
the inspection of the Examiners in the Patent
Office; but if the invention is a chemical composi
tion, samples of all the ingredients will be neces
sary. Each of these should be marked with the in
ventor's name, then carefully boxed, and sent (by
express, prepaid), together with the first instalmen
ofthe Government fee, to Messrs Brown, Coombs
& Co. When the model is small and light, it can 1
be conveniently and cheaply sentby mail The
model must not exceed one foot in any of itsdimens
ions, unless it is of such a character that it is im
practicable.
Patents, except those for designs, are grimted
on equal terms to citizens and all foreigners, except
inhabitants of Canada and some others of tlie
British American Provinces.
Besides patents or new aud useful inventions,
there are also granted patents for designs.
Design-patents are not now, as formerly, limited
strictly to ornamental configuration ; but under
Section 11 of the Act of March 2,1861, any new
form of any article, or any impression orjignre upon
the mirfaee of any article or material, by whatever
means or'process produced, can be patented. Un
der this Act. patentees are entitled to the exten
sion of their respective patents for tlie term of seven
years from the day on which said patents shall ex
pire, upon the same termsand restrictions as are
now provided fortlie extensions of Letters Patent.
Among the numerous subjects foi patents of this
class may be particularly mentioned—castings of
all metals, parts of machines, household tniniture
and utensils; glassware, hardware of all kinds,
coruices.and outer interior and exterior decor itious
of buildings; also, designs for woven and printed
fabrics, dress and upholstery trimmings, and bar
ncss labels and traile mark’s for medicines, pcr
fumery, and all preparations, compositions, or
merchandi-e, put up in bottles, boxes, or other
packages, are suitable sulijtcta; also, the tonus of
such bottles, boxes, or packages themselves, and
envelopes, likewise all works ofart,,as statuary,
busts, compositions in alto or basso relievo. The
Government, fee on a design-patent for 3) years is
jll); 7 years, sls; 11 years, S3O. No models of
designs are. required ; but duplicate drawings or
photographs must be furnished- The specification
to accompany the drawings or photographs re
quires to be prepared with great, care. Messrs
Brown, Coombs & Co. give very particular at
tention to this branch of their business. Their
charge for preparing applications for design patents
is generally about sls. Design patents are only
granted to American citizensor to aliens who have
resided one year in tlie United States and made
oath of their intention to become citizens thereof.
The facilities of Messrs. Bsown, Coombs & Co
for obtaining patents iu the various European
countries are equal if not superior to those of any
other in the United States. With regard to their
qualifications for such business, it need only be
stated that Mr. Brown has had the prepara
tion of more European applications than any
otliei person in this country, Messrs. Brown,
Coombs A Co., besides having a branch office in
Washington, have their own agencies in the
principal capitals of Europe. A circular relating
to foreign patent business will be furnished free
on application personally or by mail.
Messis. Brown, C< . mbs Si Co. also attend to in
terferences, the extensions of expiring Letters
Patent, and aU proceedings relating to patents be
fore the United States Patent Office.
All letters, packages, boxes, etc., should be ad
dressed, prepaid,as follows; —

I J EAD THE FOLLOWING'LE’H'ER FROM
1 t Rev. R. Telford. Missionary in China, now
visiting his home in Pennsylvania:
Washington, Pa., June 25,1866
Messrs. Perry Davis it Son Providence, R. 1..-
Dear Sirs—During a residence of sonic ten
years as a Missionary in Siam and ('llina, I found
your vegetable Pain Killer a most valuable
remedy for thqt fearful scourge, the Cholera.
In administering the medicine, I found it most
effectual to give n teaspoonfnl of Pain Killer in a
gill of hot wrier sweetened with sugar: then,
after about fifteen minutes, begin to give a table
spoonful of the same mix!me every mrnutc until
relief was obtained Apply hot applications to
the extremities. Batlin me stomach with Pain
Killer, clear iiml rub th-.- 'ini! briskly. Os those
who had the cholera, and t<. >k tho medicine faith
fully in the way stated uiiovc, eight out of ten
recovered. Yeurs, truly,
R TELFORD.
If an attack with Diarrhoea, Dysentery, or
Cramp Colic, don't delay tlie use of the Pain
Killer. Sold by al! medicine dealers. Price, 25
cents, st) cents, and $1 per bottle.
Manhattan, Kansas, April 17, 1866.
Gentlemen— * * " \ want to say a little
more about the Pain Killer. I consider it a eery
valuable medicine, and always keep it ouhand.
I have travelled a good deal since I have been iu
Kansas, and never without, taking it with me.
In my practice I used it freely for the
Cholera, in 181!), aud with better success Gian any
other meilieine ; I also used it, here for cholera in
1855, with the same goail result.
Truly, yours, A- HUNTING, M. 1).
Swato, China.
Cholera! * * * I regret to say that the
cholera has prevailed here of late to a ftarl'nl
extent.. For the last three weeks, from ten to
fifty or sixty fatal case, each day has bebn re
ported. I slioiijd add that the Ficin Killer, sent
recently from the Misei ni Homie, has been used
with considerable suci-i aa during this epidemic.
If taken in season is generally effectnal in check

Summer Complaint and Dygeukry.
Bowel complaints seem just now to Im, the
prevailing .■lenient, and any medicine llaif is
everywhere ucceptablc, and 'that is reliable; is a
veyi desirable acquisition. From what wvtliave
seen, heard, and experienced, we believe Davis'
Pain Killer is this desideratum. For tho best
method of usingit, ife quote from the directions:
“For common bowel complaints, give one tea
spoonhil iu a gill of new milk and molasses, in
equal parts, stirred well together; lessen the dose
for c hildren, according Io the age. If the pain lie
severe, bathe the bowels aud back with the medi
cine. This mode of treatment is good in casts of
tlie cholera morbus, sudden stoppages, etc. Re
peat the dose every hour
“The quickest way I ever saw the dysentery
cured was by taking cue spoonful of the Pain
Killer in one gill of milk mnl molas.-es stirred
well together am* a—— l 1 J .. . TV—
the dose be repeated every hour until the patient
is relieved.’ 1
If every person who has reason to fear thid
disease would provide themselves with a bottle
of t his medicine, ami use as occasion required, we
believe a great amount of guttering and sickness
would be saved. je!2—2m

I
ELIGIBILITY OF COLORED MEMBERS
Jn tlje (Georgia legislature.
By Hon. H. M. TURNER,
(Colored.)
Delivered before that Body September 3d, 1868.
——
jVr. iSjieaker :
Before proceeding to argue this question upon its intrinsic
merits, I wish the Members of this House to understand the
position that I take. I hold that lam a member of this l>ody.
Therefore, sir, I shall neither fawn nor cringe before any parly,
nor stoop to bey them for my rights. Some of my colored
fellow-members, in the course of their remarks, took occasion
to appeal to the sympathies of on the opposite
side, and to eulogize their character for magnanimity. It
reminds me very much, sir, of slaves begging under the lash.
I inn ftere to demand my rights, and to hurl thunderbolts at
the men who would dare to cross the threshold of my manhood.
There is an old aphorism which says, “Fight tlie Devil with
’’ n»i/l I ulioitL) fbo vuln T SW L*V
own weapon.
The scene presented in this House, to-day, is one unparalleled
in the history of the world. From this day, back to the day
when God breathed the breath of lite into Adam, no analogy
for it can be found. Never, in the history of the world, has
a man been arraigned before a liody clothed with legislative,
judicial or executive functions, charged with the offence of
being of a darker hue than his fellow-men. I know that ques
tions have been before the-Courts of this country’ and of other
countries, involving topics not altogether dissimilar to that
which is being discussed here to-day. But, sir, never, in all
the history of the great nations of this world—never before—
has a man Wen arraigned, charged with an offence committed
by the God of Heaven himself. Cases may be found where
men have been deprived of their rights for crimes and
misdemeanors; but it has remained for the State of Georgia,
in the very heart of the nineteenth century, to call a man
before the bar, and there charge him with an act for which he
is no more responsible than for the head which he carries upon
his shoulders. The Anglo-Saxon race, sir, is a most surprising
one. No man has ever been more deceived in that race than
I have been for the last three weeks. I was not aware that
there was in the character of that race so much cowardice, or
so much pusillanimity. The treachery which has been exhibited
by gentlemen belonging to that race has shaken my confidence
in it more than anything that has come under my observation
from the day of my birth.
What is the question at issue? Why, sir, this Assembly,
to-day, is discussing and deliberating on a matter upon which
Angels would tremble to sit in judgment; there is not a
Cherubim that sits around God’s Eternal Throiie, to-day, that
would not tremble—even were an order issued by the Supreme
God himself -to come down here and sit in judgment on- my
m.-mhood. Gentlemen may look at tliis question hi whatever
light they choose, and with just as much indifference as they
may think proper to assume, but I tell you, sir, that this is a
question which will not die to-day. Tliis event shall l>e remem
bered by posterity for ages yet to come, and while the sun
shall continue to climb the hills of heaven.
Whose Legislature is this? Is it a white man’s Legislature,
or is it a black man’s Legislature? Who voted for a Consti
tutional Convention, in obedience to the mandate of the
Congress of tho United States? Who first rallied around the
standard of Reconstruction? Who set the ball of loyalty
lolling in the State of Georgia? And whose voice was heard
on the hills anil in the valleys of this State? It was the voice
of the brawny-armed negro, with the few humanitarian-hearted
white men who came to our assistance. I claim the honor, sir,
of having been the instrument of convincing hundreds —yea,
thousands of white men, that to reconstruct under the meas
ures of the United States Congress was the safest ami tlie best
course for the interest of the State.
Let us look at some facts in connection with this matter.
Did half the white men of Georgia vote for this Legislature?
Did not the great bulk of them fight, with till their strength,
the Constitution under which we are acting? And did they
not fight against the organization of this Legislature? Ami
further, sir, did they not vote against it? Yeh, sir! And
there are persons in this Legislature, to-day, who are ready to
spit their poison in my face, while they themselves opposed,
with all their power, the ratification of this Constitution.
They question my right to a seat in this body, to represent the
people whose legal votes elected me. Tliis objection, sir, is an
unheard of monopoly of power. No analogy can be found
for it, except it lie the case of a man who should go into my
house, take possession of my wife and children, and then tell
me to walk out. I stand very much in the position of a crimi
nal before your bar, because I dare to be the exponent of the
views of those who sent inc here. Or, in other words, we are
told that if black men want to speak, they must speak through
white trumpets; if black men want their sentiments expressed,
they must be adulterated and sent through white messengers,
■who will quibble, and equivocate, and evade, as rapidly as the
pendulum of a dock. If this be not done, then the black men
have committed an outrage, and their Representatives must be
denied the l ight to represent their constituents.
The great tpiestion, «ir, is this: Am T a. man? H I am
-uch, I claim the rights of a man. Am 1 not a man, bt>cause I
