SATURDAY MORNING. . .Nov. 14, 1808
‘ ” fl
Union—Liberty—-Justiw.
This is a Republic where the Will of
tbe People is the Law of the Land.
fU. S. Grant.
“ Watch over the preservation of the I jiion
with zealous eye, and indignantly frown upon
the first dawning of every attempt to alienate
any portion of the Country from the rest, or
to enfeeble the sacred ties, which now link
together the various parts."— Wabhikgton’s
Farewell Address.
Understood Now, We Hope.
Since the election we have been anx
iously watching the tone of the Demo
cratic press of Georgia for an indication
of the manner in which they would
conduct themselves towards General
Grant, and towards the colored and
white Unionists of the State. At first,
we thought we observed a disposition
to recognize the State Government and
rectify the recent usurpations of the
State Legislature, to cease proscription
for political opinions’ sake, to abandon
the system of intimidation of colored
voters, and to let peace reign within
the entire border of the State. We
have been, and are now, ready to meet
all such Democrats on half-way ground.
But we have been sadly mistaken in
the most liberal of the Democratic
press. They all, with one accord, as
we intimated yesterday, seem to de
mand of General Grant the execution
of the New York platform, instead of
the one adopted at Chicago by the
Republicans ami endorsed by the Pres
ident elect. The Constitutionalist,
yesterday, advocated the discharge by
the Democrats of every colored man
that votes the Republican ticket for
Mayor next month. At the late elec
tion, at least fifty thousand colored
men were kept from the polls by in
timidation, and it is impossible to esti
mate the number that were coerced to
vote the Democratic ticket. For these
reasons, and many others which we
propose to give from day to day, we
now declare it to be the duty of Con
gress, when it assembles in December,
to promptly adopt some legislation
which shall counteract the usurpations
of the legislature, and compel a com
pliance with the law in letter and
spirit. Now we hop' ore under
stood.
No Politics in It-
The effort of the Chronicle to make
political capital out of the fact that
Governor Bullock has kept strictly
in the line of his duty by offering a
reward for the apprehension and con
viction of the assassin of an officer of
the State, is the weakest specimen of
political strategy we have ever sect).
Does not every honest man condemn
the assassination ? Is there one good
citizen that does not desire the arrest
and punishment of the guilty ? Suppose
Ruffin did act a little indiscreetly,
does that justify his being shot like a
dog without a collar? Every citizen of
Augusta is interested in answering
these questions. The morals of the
community are at stake, and they can
not shirk the responsibility if they
would. The Chronicle has boldly
denounced the Governor and defends
assassination. For this it should be
rebuked by men of all parties. If the
lives of our public officers arc not to
be protected, then farewell to peace.
Our country will then lay prostrate
before a set of murderers and assas
sins, and our citizens will have occasion
to envy the Mexican people.
< ♦
An Illegal Oath,—We see by a
card from a Mr. J. S. Johnson, who
signs himself Superintendent of the
Election at Warrenton, that a number
of persons were required, before being
allowed to vote, to swear that they
had been citizens of Georgia for two
years, and of Warren comity for six
months, previous to the election. This
oath was illegal, by whomsoever ad
ministered. The Constitution of
Georgia, under which the officers
sworn, or should have sworn, to hold
the election, only requires for a voter
to swear, if challenged, that he has
been a citizen of the State six months,
aud in the -county for thirty days.
But the Democrats in Warren count v
are a smart set,
Which is Right ?—The CoMstltu.
tionalist yesterday stated that the
whites registered more voters in
Charleston than the blacks; while the
Chronicle makes a stditenunt just die
reverse. Which is right ?
The Naturalization Laws.
The recent wholesale fraudulent
manufacture and issuance of naturali
zation papers has aroused the public
mind to the necessity for some change,
by Congress, of our present system
of naturalization. Mr. George Wilkes
proposes that Congress “shall modify
the naturalization laws so that all
foreigners coming to this country to
live shall enjoy the right of voting on
the same terms with native born citi
zens—that is to say, after one years’
residence in the State, four months in
the county, and thirty days in the dis
trict;” and the New York Aim de
clares the proposition to be “judi
cious.” The present laws of Congress
require a residence of fixe years be
fore a foreigner can become fully nat
uralized ; and as most of tbe older
States refuse the ballot to all but the
latter class of foreigners. This ac
counts for the immense naturalization
frauds in. the Atlantic cities North.
The inducement to rascality is too
great to be resisted by the politicians.
There is no such trouble in the young
States of the West. The Constitu
tions of the latter all give to the for
eigners the right to vote simply on
“declaring his intentions.” The
framers of the present Constitution
were wise enough to incorporate the
same liberal provisions in the funda
mental law of Georgia. If the North
ern States would change their State
Constitutions so as to harmonize with
the spirit of the times, honest for
eigners would vote, and not leave only
the rascally ones who have recently
landed here to vote on fraudulent
papers. The proposition for Congress
to shorten the term of residence requi
site to full naturalization is a good
one, and we hope may l>c acted on
favorably.
•♦♦♦- -
False Prophets.
The Democratic papers are full of
prophecies that General Grant will
disappoint the Republican party. If
they mean, by that, that he will be no
partizan, we think they are right for
once. Indeed, the whole Republican
party, North, expect only a conserva
tive policy from him, in the true sense
of conservatism. But if any are so
foolish as to suppose that Grant is
going to Jounsonize and turn Ku-
Klux, they neither know' the man, or
are capable of casting up the most
simple of probabilities. They de
manded that the Reconstruction Acts
should be declared null and void ; do
they think General Grant is going to
do that? They demanded a great
many other things, and if Grant does
any of them, we’ll give up guessing.
It is a little curious to remark, that
they who are most ready now to
prophecy political treason for General
Grant were the most sure that he
would never be elected.
WiiATwoi i.ii he have Advised?
—Law-abiiling Democrats anil Repub
licans, as well as all citizens who de
sire the suppression ol crime, and the
detection, arrest and punishment of
criminals, were yesterday discussing
the question as to what would have
been the action the Governor East
of the Oconee would have recom
mended Governor Bullock to have
taken in relation to the. assassination
of Ruffin, if the latter had referred
all papers connected therewith to the
former. Tbe general impression seems
to have been that Rance would have
recommended that no action be taken ;
that the assassin acted right, and de
serves a reward rather than punish
ment. How long will the people
blindly follow ?
—<•» -
A Novel BuggEstion.—We see it
stated that a number of prominent
Democrats are working to influence
the Seymour Electors not to vote for
Seymour, but cast a unanimous vote
for Grant. We arc willing. Really,
however, it will be a huge joke on the
Georgia Democrats when they ascer
tain that aft er all their violence towards
Republicans, they have themselves
voted for the Republican candidate for
President.
. -
Don’t Mean Him.—The editor of
the Warrenton Clipper is respectfully
informed that whenever we make an
appeal to reasonable Democrats for the
restoration of good feeling betwee ll
the members of the two parties in
Georgia, w’c do not include him. His
influence is altogerher too small, and
his opinions of too little consequence,
to make it of any importance to ns
what he thinks, feels, says or does.
—A traveller entered a tavern, and
seeing no one present but the landlord
and a negro, seated himself, and enter
ed into conversation with the negro.
Shortly afterwards he asked Sambo if
he was dry? Sambo said he was.
Stranger told him to go to lhe bar and
take something at his expense. Negro
did so, and soon left. Landlord says
to the stranger: “Are you acquainted
with that- nigger?” “No, never saw
him before* but why do you ask ?”
“I supposed so, from your conversing
with him, and asking him to drink.”
“Oh” said the stranger, “E was only
experimenting. The fact is, 1 was
dry myself, and I thought that if your
liquor didn't kill the negro in fifteen
minutes, I would venture to take a
drink myself.'’
The Municipal Election.
Mr. Editor—Your article of a
recent date, deprecating bitterness in
the approaching municipal campaign,
meets my hearty approval. Strictly
speaking, politics should notenter into
the spirit of the contest, much less
should there be angry denunciation
and appeals to the bad passions. The
interest of our city is to be regarded
the chief object for which we arc to
work, and it certainly behooves every
citizen to array himself in line with
those men who advocate progress and
liberty to all who obey the law.
The times demand a clear-headed,
energetic Chief Magistrate, and a
Council composed of men endowed
with common sense enough to appre
ciate the wants of the cib’. We w ant
men from the bosom of tne people, for
history has proven that such persons
make the best and wisest officials.
We are to have peace. Augusta
must have a Mayor and City Council
under whose beneficent rule she may
spread herself, and become what
nature intends she shall be—promi
nent, beautiful and progressive.

De Monkey and de Nigger-
Mr. Editor : You hab heered how
de monkeys gets ober de river? but
’sposing you hab not, I will tell you.
In de fus place, de monkey 7 climb up
a tree, den anuder monkey kitch him
by de tail, on a branch ob de tree wat
is ober de river, and let him down
some; den anoder monkey’ ketches
No. 2 his tail and lets him down a
little, and so on till dey makes de
monkey’ bridge ober de river, and all
de other monkeys goes over. Now,
wen de bridge is to be took down, de
first monkey says let go my tail, and
de second money say so too, and so on
till you come to de six monkey, and
den de six monkey’ say, “By’ golly',
don’t let go; pull me back, I don’t
want to fall on dem rocks.” So, you
see, wen a majority of de monkeys
gits over de river, some stupid fellers
wat made demseifs prominent in kon
structin de bridge, are left behind,
hanging by de tail.
Dis is percisely de kondition of de
dimmycrattic nigger monkeys in dere
perlitical relation, and wen de lection
is over, you will see many a monkey
nig hangin’ by de tail dat is wearing
out de seat of his pantalets wating for
a job.
I ou see dis is my private opinion
of de niggers an de use to be made of
dem; but some of dem willbekotched

A Sea Monster.—The strange
animal killed near Eastport, Maine,
has been on exhibition in that city
during the past two weeks. This ani
mal, part fish and part beast, is over
thirty feet in length, and girts twenty
one feet. It has one enormous dorsal
fin, two side-belly fins, and a broad,
shark like tail. About one-third of
its length forms its tail, in connection
with small fins; it has two huge legs,
terminating in web feet. Its mouth
makes a line of five or six feet in
length, the whole extent of which is
set with innumerable small teeth,
very much resembling in size and
shape the kernel of a species of short
pointed pop-corn. It has a series of
gills, which overlap each other like
the flounces once the style of ladies’
dresses. Ills immense body, which
was estimated to have weighed,’when
captured, about eleven tons, has no
frame-work of bones, its most solid
portion consisting of cartilage inca
pable of preservation. Its skin is
dark and tough, like that of the ele
phant and rhinoceros. There is no
record of his species, and to none is
it a greater wonder than to natural
ists, whose attention is being drawn
to it. Among others who have had
an opportunity of seeing it, is Prof.
Baird, of the Smithsonian Institute,
of Washington, who is yet unable to
place it in the known list of the ani
mal kingdom. When first discovered,
it was swimming along leisurely, and,
when pursued, took to the land, and
when captured was a hundred and
twenty feet above high water mark.
Numerous shots were fired at it, but
none took effect until the gun was
loaded with small spikes, which took
effect, striking just above the main
fore fin. On analyzing the stomach, it
contained nothing but vegetable mat
ter, which leads to the conclusion that
it subsisted upon vegetables on the
bottom of the ocean and shore.

The Ditch Judge’s Decision.—
Here is a decision by a learned Dutch
Judge: “Misder voreman and t’oder

sheriff, and has peat him, but I shall
dakc gare he don’t peat me. Hans
has been dried for murder pefore you,

De man hekill’t wasn’t kilt at all, as it

ish no madder. Der law says ver
dere is a tou't you give ’em to der

so you see der brisoner ish guilty.
Pesides, he is a great loafer. I have
know'd him vifty year, and he hash n't

and dere is no one debending upon
him for deir levin’, and he ish no use

Mans to hang him for de examble. I

Love in a Skiff.
Yesterday morning, as Chief Jus
tice Jocko was sitting in his office,
poring over the election returns, and
congratulating himself on his good
luck in being swindled out of the nomi
nation for Sheriff, a young man from
the rural districts entered and inquired
timidly if the Squire was in. Jccko
informed him that he was a Justice of
the Peace, and was sometimes called
Squire for short.
“Well,” said the young man, blush
ing, and casting his eyes upon the
floor, “what has a fellow got to do in
this State when he wants to git mar
ried?”
“The first thing he must do,” re
plied the Justice, “is to get a woman.”
“O, is that all? No license—tell
ing it in church ?”
“Nary license—nary church. If he’s
old enough, aud the girl is old enough,
the law considers they are both big
enough, ami the rest is nobody's busi
ness.”
“That's just as easy as rolling off a
log. Think I’ll come to Missouri to
live. They have more freedom here
than over in Illinoy, where I conic
from, Squire,” ho continued, laying
his hand familiarly on the shoulder of
the Judge, “I’ve got a gal out thar at
the door, and she and me are awful
axious to git spliced. We had a hard
time stealing away from the old folks,
and had to come down the Illinoy river
in a skiff. Last night we eamped on a
sand-bar, and I tell you it won’t do to
put oft’ the gittin’ married part any
longer. Susan would never forgive
me if it was put off, because she says
there would be talk about us roosting
together on the sand-bar.”
“Well, just bring Susan in, and 'lll
fix the thing all right in five minutes.
Siegwart, the Constable will be here
pretty soon, and lie will be the
witness.”
“All right; she’s right out here in
front of a pile of cabbages, and I'll
fetph her in at once.”
The young man stepped out, and in
a moment returned, accompanied by a
rosy-cheeked damsel, dressed in red
calico with white spots, and wearing a
heavy green veil. Lifting up her veil,
she said:
“ Mister, I don’t want to have any
foolin’ about this here marriage. If
you are a real Squire, it’s all right;
but I’ve heard of fellers passin’ them
selves off for Squires that was no
Squires at all.”
“ You see my sign out at the door;
isn’t that enough to satisfy you ? I’ll
show you my commission.”
“I seed ‘John Jecko, Justice of the
Peace,’ painted on a board, but there
ain’t nothin’ about Squire on it.”
“O, it’s all the same ; we are called
Justices in Missouri, and not Squires.”
“ Well, go ahead ; I’ll take you at
a venture; but if you fool me you’ll
catch Hail Columbia for it, some of
these days. If you wasn’t a good
looking man, I’d doubt your word, but
you are too pretty to tell a lie.”
In a short time Siegwart came in,
and the Justice told the young couple
to join hands. They did so, both
blushing and looking fondly at each
other. In less than the time men
tioned the twain were made man and
wife, and when the last word was
spoken the bride stepped up to the
Justice, and putting her lips close to
his, said:
“I spose you want to salute the
bride, don’t you ?”
“Certainly,” replied Jecko,and put
ting one arm around tlie plump neck of
the lady, he gave her such a smack that
Siegwart thought a pane of glass was
broken.
“ Fire away, Squire!” said the
bridegroom ; “ take just as many of
them as you can stand up under;
there’s plenty left for me, I guess.”
“ You got yours in advance, Thomas,
and the Squire is such a pretty man
that he can have another if he wants
it.”
The Bridegroom then handed the
Justice a ten dollar bill, and told him
his first boy should be named John,
and if it was a girl he’d call her Jo
sephine, in honor of the constable.
He became communicative, and told a
long story of his courtship and elope
ment. He said that he and Susan had
long had a hankering after each other,
but her mother wanted her to marry a
preacher on the circuit, who had re
cently lost his wife, and had four
children who were suffering for a step
mother. Susan did not like the idea
of taking care of other people’s child
ren, and the short and long of it was
that one night they stole away from
the neighborhood, and purchasing a
skiff from a fisherman near Pekin, had
come down the river to St. Louis to
get married. Thomas said if the
preacher made any fuss about it he
would give him a sound thrashing
when he returned. The happy couple
put up at Barnum’s intending to re
main two or three dajs to see the
sights of the city, but the constable
declares that they locked themselves
up in the room, and did not stir out
during the day.
The Havana Cigar Market.—
The prices of cigars in the Havana
market tire SSOO per thousand for
Celestialos, S3OO tor Leopoldinos,
$250 for Senadores and Patriareas,
SIOO for Imperiales, S6O to $75 for
regalias, $45 for Londres, and $35 for
PrincipeS. The tobacco crop this year
is somewhat inferior to that of 1867;
the quantity is about seventy-five per
cent short of last year’s produce, and
the price is fully twenty to twenty-five
per cent, dearer. Some of the fine
quality of this year’s crop will be
finer than any produced last year, but
little, or none of this class has been
worked yet. An extraordinary dull
ness has existed in the market, occa
sioned by tbe high prices asked, the
supposed inferiority of the crop and
the absence of orders for cigars, caused
by the large stocks existing in the
United States, England and Germany.
The.quality of tobacco shipped from
Havana since the first of January,
1868, is about 4,600,000 pounds, of
which about 2,700,000 went to the
United States.

A Good. Smoke is a Perpetual Comfort-
LORILLARD’S
“YACHT CLUB”
SMOKING TOBACCO.
Competent critics pronounce it best for many
reasons:
It is made of the best stock grown.
The Nicotine is extracted; there arc
No drugs in it, consequently it is
Anti-nervous in its effects.
It has an agreeable, aromatic flavor ;
Does not burn or stiug the tongue;
Leaves no unpleasant aftertaste in the
Mouth, or disagreeable odor in the room
Instead of exciting the nervous forces,
It allays irritation, and calms them.
We regard it as the perfection of
Smoking Tobacco. Orders for elegant
Meerschaum Pipes are being packed daily
In the various sized bags in which it is sold,
As an extra inducement for those
Who love a good smoke to try it.
LORILLARD'S
“EVRBKA” Smoking Tobacco
Is likewise an excellent article of choice Virginia
Tobacco, of a heavier body than the former.
And hence much cheaper in price ; nevertheless
It makes an excellent smoke. Orders for
