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. Augusta, November 12th, 1808. s. w. 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 wid cm, and nary soap on der tails. Sambo. 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 jurymans—Der brisoner, Hans Vicck ter, is vinished his game mit der sheriff, and has peat him, but I shall dakc gare he don’t peat me. Hans has been dried for murder pefore you, ami you must pring in der vardick, but it must be ’eordin’ to der law. De man hekill’t wasn’t kilt at all, as it was broved he is in der jail at Mor risdown for sheep sdealing. Put dat ish no madder. Der law says ver dere is a tou't you give ’em to der prisoner, but here dere ish no tou’t; 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 tone a sdidth of w ork in all dat dimes, and dere is no one debending upon him for deir levin’, and he ish no use to no poty. I dink it would be good Mans to hang him for de examble. I dink, Mr. voremans, dat he petter pe hung next fourt’ of July, as der militia is goin’ to drain in anodher county, and dere would be no vun goin' on here.” —A recent number of the Columbus (Miss.) fntlex contained an apology for a typographical blunder, which, it said, had spoiled “one of the finest sentences in our editorial.” It then gave the corrected reading, which shows us what is regarded ns a fine fine sentence in the hulex office: “The inane drippings from the maud lin tongue of Ulysses the Lucky.” From the St. Louis Democrat. | 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.
