The Era, at Atlanta, pronounces our stric
tures upon its egotism as false, foolish and
low-flung. Very well. At our leisure, we
may have something to say touching a cer
tain business transaction in which the Era
editor bore an interested part, and which we
think will plainly show toZio is “false” and
“low-flung.”

Speech of 11. M. Tnrner (Colored.) ii
We publish in full, this morning, the able 1
speech delivered before the Georgia Legis
lature, Sept. 3d, 1808, on the eligibiltty of fl
colored members to seats in that body. C
The speech is sound and logical, and was
in fact one of the most able speeches de
livered before the legislature on th»t sub- c
ject. It will repay a careful perusal. p

Robbery. 1
We learn that the dwelling of Hon. v
Ephraim Tweedy was entered by n burglar
on Saturday morning about 2 o’clock. The
robber succeeded only partially, having ,
been foiled in his enterprise by the timely I
awaking of a member of the family. The >
premises was entered from the rear, and the .
robber, in his hasty retreat, very narrowly (
escaped a shot in bin rear. t
NMcdenborgiaHisiH Hie South. e
An association of the New Church (Swe- I
denborgian) was formed in Columbus, Ga., ’
last week, embracing the States of Georgia, j
South Carolina and Florida. Rev. AV. G. ,
Bay was chosen presiding minister, and '
among the members of the Executive Com
mittee selected were several prominent citi
zens, including Herschel V . Johnson, Doug
las Democratic candidate for the Vice
Presidency in iB6O. So says the Columbia
(S. C.) Phoenix.
Registration.
At the hour of closing, yesterday, the total
number registered was 1,94(1, of which 043
were whites, and 1,293 colored.
Every citizen who desires protection,
good government and quiet, should not fail
to register. If taxes are due the city, go to
Dr. Garvin, City Treasurer, mid pay them.
It is as much the duty of citizens to pay
their taxes as it is to register and vote.
Therefore, do not longer dtlay, but pay
your taxes. Register, and thus qualify
yourself to take part in tie selection of
Mayor and Councilmen at the approaching
election.
The Meeting hast Might-
The late hour (near 11 Pclock) al which
Col. Akerman closed his address last night
prevents an extended noti.'e of it. W e can
IW> not, however, refrain fnm saying that it
(du’was a capital speech ; somd in logic, pow
erful in facts and argumtnt, chaste in lan
guage, and eloquent indelivery We re
gret that there were not t larger number of
our Democratic friends out to hear it, as
we are quite sure all would have agreed
with us that the Coknel is a profound
thinker, an honest mar, and a fearless de
fender of the right. His reference to the
valiant Gen. Toombs, though couched in
temperate terms, was nost withering, and
his defence of the colaed man’s right to the
franchise eminently just and conclusive.
If time permitted Col. Akerman should
be induced to reped his address in every
county in the State lefore the election. It
could not fail to conduce honest men of the
folly, if not criminally, of longer following
the lead of such tnei as now mis-lead the
Democracy.
A Hint.
Blobbs, one night, sitting at the back of
the boxes with a gentleman of his acquaint
ance, an underbred lounger stood up imme
diately before him and shut out the sight of
the stage entirely from him. Blohms patted
him gently on the shoulder with his cane,
and with much seeming civility, requested
that when he saw or heard anything that
was eutertainiug on the stage ho would, let
him and the gentleman with him know of it,
as at present they must totally depend on his
kindness. This had Hie desired effect, and
the lounger walked off.

Every household should keep Rahway’s
Ready Relief and Pills on hand; their
timely use, if suddenly seized with sickness,
may save life. As soon as there is the
slightest uneasiness in the chest, with diffi.
cully of breathing, or indication of Cough,
take during the day thirty drops of Relief, in
a wine-glass of water. Cure, effectual.
Pains in the Head, Sore Throat, Hoarseness,
a sudden attack of Diptheria or Influenza,
apply the Relief to the throat and chest-
Persons suffering from Rheumatism, Tic
Douloureux, etc., should not hesitate to apply
Radway’s Ready Relief, both externally
and internally. Nothing better in the known
world. Create a sense of heat and irrita
tion, or burning, you may feel perfectly sat
isfied of a cure. For Sprains, Cuts, Wounds,
Bruises, nothing like the Relief. Rub the
pint or parts where the disease or pain is
seated is all that is sufficient. Aside from
all this, the Relief will be found to be a
splendid tonic when used with wafer. If yon
have Lameness, Swelling of the Knees,
Feet, Joints, etc., use nothing else. In case
of Asiatic Cholera, the Relief loads all other
preventives. So in attacks of Cholera Mor
bus, Bilious Cholic, Fevers, Sick or Nervous
Headache, Foul Breath, Purging, Dysen
tery, painful DiarrhtßA, Vomiting, Convul
sions, Bad Dreams, and Genera] Debility,
Radway's Ready Relief is a sure cure.
Sold by druggists. Price 50 cents per
bottle.

“Tit for Tat.” —The pious editor of the
Augusta Republican and the Reverend Di
vine of the Neto Era are engaged in a sort
of theological discussion, in which we feel
no interest beyond a wicked disposition ter
enjoy a little fun. It is an outside quarrel,
on the issue of which we have not so much
as the wager of a pea-nut. Wo are deter
mined not to say a word, unless it be an
occasional cheer for the “dog on top.” Tbe
Republican maliciously impugns the ortho
doxy of our neighbor. It is equally light in
Its actuivoto of its peJiitC*! ht. Hm..- it t
“ Heaven help the Republican party or
Georgia if the Era, is the “hope” of the party
in the State! Now tell us of one prominent
Republican that relies upon the Era as the
“hope” of the party. You can’t name one,
by authority. It the Era was to come out
for Seymour to-morrow, it would not lose
Grant a hundred votes.”
Now, we believe the Republican is at
least in ninety-nine of the truth. Seriously,
we do not think the Era’s deflection would
exceed the loss of one vote to the Radical
party —its own. But pray, Mr. Republican’,
don’t afflict us with it; we don’t want the
Era on our side. It would play the i yil
with our party, as it has doue with year's.

Value ok Personal Neatness.—Many
worthy women who would not for the world
be found wanting in the manner of personal
neatness, seem somehow to have the notion
that any study of the arts of personal beauty
in family life is unmatronly. They buy tboir
clothes with simple reference to ccoqpmy,
and have them made up without any ques
tion of becomingness; and hence marriage
sometimes transforms a charming, trim, trip
ping young lady into a waddling matron,
whose every-day toilet suggests only the idea
of a feather-bed tied round with a string.
For my part, I do not believe that the sum
mary banishment of the graces from the
domestic circle as soon as the baby makes
its appearance, is at all conducive to domes
tic affection. Nor do 1 think that there is
any need of so doing. These good house
wives are in danger, like other saints, of
falling into the error of neglecting the body
through too much thoughtfulness for others,
and too little for themselves. If a woman
ever lias any attractiveness, let her try and
keep it, setting it down as one of her domes
tic tijents.
*«*- —- —
What Our Baby Did.-The other day
Nettie was eighteen months old, and she
celebrated the event in the following style,
with a regularity and promptness which
almost defies competition : Ist, upset a quart
of milk upon her bran new flannel gown ;
2d, put the hair-brush in the slop-pail ; 3d,
took a spoon from the table and plastered
the carpet and floor with soft lard, and then
wiped it off with a clean dress just put
upon her; 4th, she did not ‘‘string spools on
the cat's tail,” but took another form of ex
pressing her devotion to that pet by trying
to cram it into her father’s boot; stb, found
her way into the pantry and upset the kero
sene into a pail of meal that had just Jieen
sifted for use ; and, to clap the climax,
Ijreascd her little red shoes with the mixture;
Ctb. ate some bread and milkaud went oft to
sleep. These things were done in spite of
careful watching, and (as we have since
learned by experience) is but a fair sample
of everyday life. Babies are mischievous.
What can a mother do with three or four
little fellows at a time and keep the house in
order? We’ve resolved never to find fault,
if supper isn’t readv just at the right time.

The Sick Room.—The sick room should
be large, lofty, and, if possible, with a
northern aspect, in order to avoid the heat
of the mid-day or the afternoon sun ; the
windows should be capable of being opened
by drawing down the uppermost sash an
advantage, however, that can not always be
obtained, as this mode of opening windows
is too generally neglected in the construction
of modern houses. No room, however large,
should be used as a sick room unless it has
a chimney; but neither the chimney-board
nor the soot-board of the apartment should
be put up, even in summer. No article of
unnecessary furnilure should be permitted
to remain in the room ; and that which is
left in it should be of a description fitted to
administer to the i nnrt-nionce of the invalid
Josh Billings on Courting.—Courting is
about half natur and about half science.
The natur in it is simply energy. You must
begin slow, but by and by if will bo best to
agitate things. Wimmiu, as a lump, had
ruther be took by storm than siege. Wim
min never surrenders, nor are they ever ex
actly won, but rather captured. They “tight
it out on this line.” I am talking now of
sensible witumin. There is wimmin who are
as easy to couit as lint, “{.uv at first sight”
is like eating honey. Il duz seem cz tho
you could never git enuff uv it.
This kind uv luv is apt to make blunders,
and it is bard to back out uv as well.
But there aint no such thing ns pure math
ematics in courting.
If it is all natur, it is too innocent for
earth, and it it is all science, it is too much
of a job.
Perhaps the best way to court is to begin
without much uv any plan where you are
going to fetch up, and see how you and she
likes it, and then let the thing kind uv
worry along kareless, like throwing stones
into a mill pond.
You will find one thing strictly troo, the
more advice you undertake to follow, the
less amount of good courting you will do.
A correspondent of. the Aurora Gazette
gives the following account of a mirage
lately witnessed on Cayuga Lake : “As I
drove out of Auburn I saw very distinctly—
not Cayuga Lake exactly, for that was some
eight miles away, out of sight over the hills
but a ven- complete and exact counterpart
of the lake, lying apparently some three or
four mites away, and with au unobstructed
view. Some four miles of the eastern shore,
with its deep bay at Mr. Yawger's, and one
or two miles more of the western shore, ex
tending opposite our village, was visible,
showing the trees along the shores, and all
its indentations and curves. The spectacle
lasted about h alf an hour, and was a sight
worth seeing.”

Hon Horatio Seymour:
I sen it announced in the papers this
morning that you will enter tho Presidential
canvass in person. 1 trust this may be so,
as the present position of public affairs justi
fies and demands it. It is hoped mid be
lieved by your friends that all cnoinieA of
Constitntional Government, whether secret
or avowed, will not be sparer], and that their
arbitrament and unjust usurpations, together
with their wasteful, profligate, and corrupt
use of the people’s treasure, will be sionally
exposed and rebuked. The masses of the
people should be aroused lunl warned
against the encroachments of despotic
power now ready to enter the citudel of
liberty. I trust that you may speak with
an inspired tongue, and that your voice mny
penetrate every just and patriotic breast
throughout the land. Let the living princi
ples of the violated Constitution bo pro
claimed and restored, that peace,’ prosperity
and fraternal feeling may return to our
divided and oppressed nation.

St. Louis, October 24.—A report reached
here that the Hon. James Hinds, member
of Congress, and Hon. James R. Brooks
accompanying him, were assailed in Monroe
county, Arkansas. Hinds was kilted and
Brooks wounded. The Democrat has a dis
patch attributing the outrage to Democrats.
The Republican has a dispatch representing
that Hinds had split the Republican party,
and attributes his death to Republicans, if,
indeed, report be true. It says that further
efforts to fix his assassination on the Demo
crats will be fruitless, her--use they hud
more to gain by Hind’s living than death.

Wbskkxs, Notwithstanding tho Executive
I’roehmation of September 14th, 1868, many &
lawleis acta have occurred in violation thereof,
whereby the lives and property of citizens have
been destroyed, tho right of free speech im
paired, the performance of the duties of the
offleee to which citizen* have been elected, de
nied, the lives of citizens so threatened as to
cause them to abandon their homos and pron
arty;
Aau Whsk-kas, “Tho protection of persons
and property is tho paramount duty of Gov
ernment, and shall be impartial and com
plete;"
And Wbbhsas, The Sheriff of each county is,
by law, charged with tho preservation of life,
property and peace in each county:
Noir, Therefore, I, Rufus B. Bullock, Gov
ernor, and Commandor-in-Cbicf of the Army
and Navy of the State of Georgia, and of tho
Militia thereof, do hereby Dane this my Procla
mation, charging and commanding the said
Sheriffs, and each and every other oivil officer in
every county in this State, to see to it that the
Uvea and property of all citizens, and the peace
of the community, are preserved; and that all
persons are protected in the 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 be held 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 oivil officer, under all circurHslanees
mhaltoever; and that they demand from said
officers protection, when threatened or disturbed
in their person or property, or with denial of
political or oivil rights; and that, failing to
receive such protection, they report facts to this
Department.
The following extract from General Orders No.
27, dated October 8, 1868, from Headquarters,
Department of the South, is published for tho
information of Civil Officers and tho general pub
lic, by which it will be seen that said Civil Offi-

“Whorous, by au act of Congress of the United
States, approved March 2, 1865, it is made tho
duty of the military authority to preserve tho
pence at the polls at any election which may bo
held in any us tho States ; and, whereas, this
duty h's bcoouic the more imperative, from tho
existing political excitement in tho public mind,
1 from the recent organization of civil govern
ment, and from tho fact that Congress lias, by
statute, prohibited tho organization of military
forces in the several States of this Department,
it is therefore ordered,
“Ihat the several District commanders will,
as soon as practicable, on the receipt of this
order, distribute the troops under their commands
as lellows:
.» * • » «
(n the District of Georgia :
Ono company 16th Infantry, to Albany.

tnatnle-
“Th, troops will b« considered as in the field
and supplied with the necessary camp equipage
tlio men to bo furnished with sommon tents i
practicable, and if not practicable, with shelter
teuh. Conmianding officers are permuted to
hire quarters, temporarily, when it can be <L>ne
for reasonable rates ; but this will not preclude,
the necessity of carrying tents, as the commands,
in all eases, must be in readiness to move at the
shortest notice, with all supplies required for
their efficiency.
“District Commanders wt-1 instruct Pest Com
manders in their duties, ant the relative position
of the civil and military powers. They will
impress on Post Commanders that they are to
act in aid and co-operation, mid in subordination
to the civil authorities ; that they are to exercise
discretion and judgment, unbred by political
or other prejudices ; that their object shdUld bo
exclusively to preserve the peace and uphold law
and order, and they must be satisfied such is the
object o7 the civil officer calling on them for aid ,
that they must in all cases, where tune will
permit, applv for instruction to superior au
thority, but they must at all hazards preserve
the peace, and not be 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 or
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 the people of the several fctatos compos
ing the Department, the Major General Com
manding sppeate that they will co-operato 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 ol property and life which
has already, in sumo instances, been enacted m
this Department, fle urge, abstinence from all
inflammatory and incendiary appeals to the
pMsiobs: discountenaueirfg the keeping open of
liquor shops on days of political meetings and of
election; the abstaining from carrying arms,
and assorting the individual right of construing
laws by force of arms. No just cause is ever ad
vanced b" resort to violence. Let there be
cbaiily and forbearance among political oppo
nents, whatever may be the result. Lot each
good citizen determine that all who, under the
aw have the right to the ballot shall exercise it
undisturbed. If there arc disputed points of
law let them be referred to the Courts, and let
nos mobs or political clubs, or other irresponsi
ble bodies, construe and undertake to
execute the law. This appeal is made in the
earnest hope that the Major General Command
ing can rely on tha good sense and correct
judgment ot the mass of the people, and that he
will not bo compelled to Ycsort to the bxeroiso of
the power with which be is entrusted, and which
ho will most reluctantly employ. But he thinks
it his duty to make known- “ . t far “
power uader his command will admit, he wiU
not permit the pence to bo broken, and that ho
will not be restrained in the conscientious dis
charge of his duty by technicalities of law, made
wh<n the pret»ont auomaloiw condition of aftoirs
were neither anticipated or provided for.’
