PLATFORM Adopted by a Republican Uoucention oj Augusta, at a meeting held at the City Hull, Monday evening, Nov. 23, 1868. Whereas, The citizens of Augusta are about to elect municipal officers for the en suing year; and whereas, it is eminently proper' that a party which presents candi dates for the suffrages of the people should make known its principles. Therefore, be it Resolved., That, as the Republican party is, and always has lioen, the friend of the labor ing classes, that our ticket be called the Workingman’s Ticket, and that we present the following resolutions as our platform : Resolved, That it is the duty of the Munici pal Officers of the city to protect all its citi zens in the enjoyment of all the rights guai anteed to them by law, the colored citizen as well as the white, the poor as well as the rich. Rcsolred, That as a measure of economy, the salary of the Mayor should be reduced, and the Workingman's Party pledges itself to such reduction. Resolved. That the whole license system is wrong and oppressive, and that taxation should be exclusively on property and in come. Resdeed, That all produce passed over the Bridge, for the consumption of the city, in cluding cotton and wood, should be passed free from toll. Revolted, That the City Council should not involve the city in debt unless it be absolutely necessary in conducting the Municipal Gov ernment. Resolved, That the above Preamble and Resolutions be published in The National REP! BLICAN. The following additional Resolution was also passed at the same meeting: Revolted, That the nomination of candi dates for Mayor and Aldermen be postjioncd until Saturday, the 28th inst. JOHN REYNOLDS, David Porter. Chairman. Secretary. —... The Ball Rolls. As the minds of the working men of Augusta grasp the just principles of the Working Men’s Party on equal taxation and kindred subjects, they desert the ticket that holds antaoro o nistic views. Our platform needs no explanation. It explains itself. It is so transparently just and fair that every child of ordinary intelligence can understand it. Everybody can see at a glance that the man with SIOO or SSOO capital should not pay the same license as the man with a capital of $25,000. Work, and this rotten system will be abolished and the Working Man’s equalization sys tem established. The issue is in the hands of the men most interested. Will you not go for your own inter ests? The man who calls you a “Scal awag” for so doing is a liar. That’s all. An Unjust Charge.—A Democrat yesterday, in our presence, urged very vehemently that the evidence of the incompetency of the present municipal Government was the alleged fact that the city employees were unpaid. This identical individual, after much delay, paid his taxes in coupons on city bonds, issued by the very clique who are now trying to get back into power. If this old clique had been mindful of the city’s interests, these coupons would not be hawked about the street for the men who unnecessarily issued them to purchase at a discount. Hypocrites.—lt is filling the hearts and consciences of men with indigna tion to see old negro-traders, who in old times were proficient with the lash, again attempt to carry on their old trade by’ buying colored votes. M c appeal to colored Republicans, by the stripes they received in the past, to spurn these place-hunters. Given it Ur.—The Democratic press of Georgia have about given up the idea of making a Democrat of General Grant. We doubt not the President elect has been sounded, and has given the “sounders” distinctly to understand that he is not the person they took him for—that he is not base enough to be elected on one set of principles, and then to turn round a la Johnson, and administer the Govern ment on another and diametrically op posite set. Satisfai tory.—A gentleman visit, ing Atlanta, a day or two since, in quired of a sprightly little newsboy vhy so many persons held their hand kerchiefs to their noses. “Because ” ■eplied the boy, “the Era again has ts rear open.” The explanation was leemed satisfactory. “Now you see it, and now you Don’t ” The Atlanta Era, of the 25th, con tains an editorial which is chiefly re markable for its two-faced character. The heading of this article aptly ex presses the character of the one in the Era. The editor attempts to play’ the role of the “Artful Dodger,” but he does it in such a bungling manner as to excite a smile of derision. He says he has confidence in Gen. Grant and Congress. No doubt each will feel relieved and encouraged when they learn of the fact. It is with reluctance that we criti cise the course of the Era. It would be much more agreeable to us, person ally, to commend, could we do so with justice to the Republican people of Georgia. But it is the duty of the National Repuhlican not only to meet and battle with the avowed enemies of the principles of the party, but also to protect it from the effects of the evil counsels of real or pretend ed friends. “One traitor is worse than ten Turks.” The Era commences its article by substantially apologizing for having charged that Georgia was carried for Seymour by fraud. It didn’t mean anything by it; did not so charge “to influence Congress one way or an other.” Now, wc have charged that the State was carried, not only by fraud, but also by intimidation and the most revolting violence, and we have published conclusive proof of the charge from day to day. Ami we avow that we have done so that the whole people of tlje United States, including Congress, should know the facts, and knowing the facts, that the latter.should refuse to count the Elec, toral vote of Georgia, and in addition should provide some remedy for the protection of the white minority and for the poor, defenceless blacks. We have an illustration of “Now you see it and now you don’t” in nearly every sentence of the Era's article. For instance: “Now you sec it:” “We have no wish to influence Congress to any action respecting our local affairs,” (“and now you don’t see it”:) “farther to appropriate legisla tion the provisions of the Constitutional Amendment.’) Will the Era say whether the pro visions of the Constitutional Amend ment have been complied with by the Legislature of Georgia? We hold that it has violated that Amendment in two notorious instances: the voting of rebels, or ex-rebels, to draw it mild, who held office before the war and have not since been pardoned, and the ousting of the colored members. But the Era says: “ Our wish is for things to stand as they arc." This is the wish of every member of the Ku- Klux in Georgia; it is not the wish of any true Republican in the State. Here is another “Now you see it and now you don’t see it:” “Those (the Southern) States are now in a condition to take care of themselves, and we think Congress will permit them to do so.” “And now you don’t”: “It will demand a faithful compliance with the Reconstruction acts, and we do not believe that a single State will be per mitted to violate even the most in significant provisions of those acts.” The “ single State” of Georgia has violated the most material provisions of this amendment, and yet the Era hopes that “ immediately upon the assembling of Congress in December, the Georgia 'Senators will be admitted to their seats.” The trouble with I lie Ara is, that it is afflicted with the pocket neuralgia. If the nervous pain of the pocket can be kept firm and easy, he cares little for the fate of the Republicans scat tered throughout the State, who are now at the mercy of men who favors more than Robesperian bloodthirsti ness. The Knox-Frierson Affair.— Wc were sure the Dcrtioeratic account orignally published of the shooting of young Mr. Fribkso.n by Major Knox, at Athens, was colored against the Major. We have since received the Athens Watchman, a Democratic paper, which says that the examining magistrate, before whom Major K was arraigned, dismissed the charge against him. This would not have been the case had he been to blame. Poor Men Driven out of Busi ness.—Rich dealers always favor high licenses. Why ? They wish them so high that poor men cannot afford to obtain them and go into business. Remember this when you vote on Wednesday next. - Better Look to His Laurels.— The Atlanta Era speaks of the “Fab ulous K. K.’s.” Our “Shyster” had better look to his laurels. —— - Can’t Learn to Say it. —The so-called Christian Democrats cannot learn to say, “Oh, Ixird, Thy will, not mine, be done.” ■ —— Ought to Know.—The editor of the Era, says that lying is easier than editing a daily newspaper. He ought to know. The Democratic Spirit in Wilkinson County. The following records an intolerable state of affairs in the county of Wil’ k inson: ll’dq’rters Agt. Bureau IL, F. & A. L., i Irwinton, Ga., October 16,1868. j Captain M. Frank Gallagher, A. A. A. Gen eral, Atlanta, Ga.: Captain— l have the honor Io report that numerous complaints are being made at these headquarters l»y freedmen, who have been laboring on plantations owned by whites, the past year, that they can not get an equi table settlement or division of their joint crops. I have endeavored to assist them through the Civil Courts, but in this county (Wilkinson) it lias been impossible to procure anything like justice to the freedmen, and their cases have generally been dismissed l>y the Courts with costs to them. In fact, hardly a white man in the county, Who is employing freedmen, lias done, fairly by them, unless the freedmen would promise to vote the rebel ticket at the coining election; and under existing regulations, with the authority of the Bureau so materially cur tailed, it is impossible that they should be protected. The whites here are all armed, and at the first exhibition of dissatisfaction on the part of their employees, threats of violence are used to intimidate, and not unfrequently the grossest outrages are com mitted upon them. 1 attempted to procure bills of indictment against various parties, for wrongs inflicted upon freedmen, but the Grant Jury invariably refused to sustain me, and this result has caused great rejoicing among that clement of society here, that believe “the negro has no right which the white men is bound to respect.” I therefore make this report, not expecting that immedi ate assistance can be granted by this Bureau, but that this state of affairs may be recorded, the better to enable the authorities to mark their future action. The feeling against the Bureau and its officers is intense, and I liave been compelled to go a distance of three miles from this village in order to procure a place to stay. A suitable military force will be absolutely necessary at the election, in order that anything like justice should be done the freedmen. In fact, they will have to be protected in the exercise of their rights, or t hey ran not vote. * * * « «- « I am, Respectfully, Your ob’t servant, (Signed) 11. D. F.

Seward is to the Re publican party of the State of New York. Our Washington Letter. Washington, D. C., Nov. 24. The latest novelty is the introduc tion hereof the much talked of French Velocipede, and the fashionables are all agog to test them. This is but another evidence that there is nothing new under the sun, for as long ago as the reign of George the Third, Beau Brummel, a Court dandy, engloved with yellow kids, Sroused the lethargy of the fashionables in Hyde Park, by putting bi an appearance mounted on a two-wheeled Velocipede. His ad vent caused as much alarm then as did the appearance of a similar person and ' chicle on one us die Pai is pioni enadcs recently, when the Queen of Madagascar, who had not been sur prised at anything she had seen before, fainted at the sight of this machine. Fortunately for the reputation of the nation Queen Emma is not now under the wing of Secretary Seward or site might seize upon a similar opportunity to- swoon on the Avenue, and that would be a deplorable event. Speaker Colfax is married at last. The press throughout the country knew that such an event might hap pen at any time during the last three months and accordingly married him, on paper, a great many times; he was not really married however until last Wednesday, in Ohio, when a niece of Senator Wade was made happy. Mr. Colfax, with his wife, arrived here Friday and immediately repaired to their residence on 17th street opposite Lafayette Square, where Mr. C. resided last year. The bride is very much such a woman as the bridegroom is a man—plain, practical and endowed with great common sense. Their resi dence will be a great centre of attrac tion during the approaching fashionable season. In addition to what I have hereto fore stated as work laid out for Con gross, Senator Morton proposes to introduce a bill for the redemption of greenbacks, to stop the sale of gold and redeem the legal tenders. lie believes this will place greenbacks on a gold basis by 1871, and will there fore oppose any contraction of the currency. This plan causes much adverse comment, a majority of the leading Republicans favoring some plan by which specie payment can be resumed as early, at all events, as the beginning of the next fiscal year. Quite a number of Congressmen are already here, preparing work for the winter—each one developing some favorite scheme, to benefit the country, of course. The “ Whiskey Ring” is also largely represented, the members of which will make a bold effort to increase the tax on liquors of all kinds—the present tax not leaving margin enough for them to operate upon. The movement can hardly be successful in face of the report of Commissioner Rollins, to the effect, that by the present tax a larger reve nue is returned to the Government than under the high tax system. There bids fair to be a railway mania. A whole school of visionary schemes are already laying their plans to secure largo appropriations from Congress. The Pacific Railroad—a really national work—will bo urged as a precedent. There are half a dozen propositions already developed, by which to connect the Commercial Metropolis and the Capital of the Nation. As a positive necessity exists tor relief in tins direction, it is proba ble some definitel action may be taken during the approaching winter. There are as many more projects on foot for Southern connections, and between the two, all classes of citizens resident here arc interested. Mr. Jencks’ bill for remodelling the Government De* pertinents, somewhat after the English plan—to secure the permanency and efficiency of employees—is gaining rapidly m public favor. A majority of the leading Republican journals throughout the North are advocating this, or some plan whereby to accom plish the same objects. If ever carried into effect, it will place Government employees outside of politics, positions and promotion being only secured by peculiar fitness. General Michler, Superintendent of Public Buildings, in his annual report, reiterates all the magnificent schemes heretofore laid before a Committee of Congress by him, and adds many views for the beautifying of the Na tion’s Capital. The plan provides for boulevards, promenades, extensive parks, drives, etc., involving an ex penditure, of tearing down and build ing up, of millions of money. Some people believe our worthy Super intendent’s exalted views of a perfect National Capital will be realized at an early day, and arc pre paring accordingly for a great increase of business. While his plans are ad mirable—on paper—and would gratify the cultivated taste and the pride of the people, I do not think the man lives to-day who will see his projects perfected; and principally because of a contention, which has been increase ing in bitterness for years, as to the location of the Capitol. A majority of the Western members of Congress have steadily opposed doing anything going to fix the Capital permanently at this point, and, therefore, oppose all appropriations for enlargements not required for immediate purposes. Indeed, the people of the Northwest have gone so far, through their repre sentative men, as to estimate the cost of taking down the public buildings here and transporting and putting them up so far west as St. Louis. Eight million dollars is the estimated cost. Now that the election is over, the Atlantic Cable furnishes us with the only means of excitement. The last is the progress made by Minister John son in settling the Alabama and other claims against England by a mixed commission. The State Department here has received no such advices as the English news agent telegraphs; and it is not likely our Minister would first divulge State secrets to the agent of the Associated Press, located in London. General Grant most of the time re mains very quiet at his headquarters, transacting, with systematic regular ity, all business pertaining to the office of General of the Army. Poli ticians for the most part keep at a re spectful distance. The General’s un ostentatious habits have not deserted him ; he works as hard and appears as often, unattended, on the streets as before he was nominated for the Presi dency. Even his most bitter oppon ents during the canvass now declare that his election by the people will prove to be the salvation oi the coun try. Capital. ■ Bobtail Fashions. A Blast from Fanny Fern Against Feminine Follies. When I say that the street dress of the majority of respectable women of New York to-day is disgusting, I but feebly express my emotions. 1 say the respectable women, and yet, save to those who know them to be such, their appearanctrieaves a w ide margin for doubt. The clown at the circus wears not a more stunning or parti colored costume; in fact, he has the advantage of being sufficiently “taut” —to use a nautical phrase —not to in terfere with locomotion ; while theirs —what with disgusting humps upon their backs, and big rosettes upon their sides and shoulders, and loops, and folds, and buttons, and tassels, and clasps and bows upon their skirts, and striped satin petticoats, ail too short to hide often clumsy ankles— and more colors heaped upon one poor little fashion-ridden body than ever were gathered in one rainbow’—and all this wom without regard to tem perature, or time or placer—l say this presents a spectacle w hich is too dis heartening even to be comical. One cannot smile at the young girls who are, one day—Heaven help them!—to be wives and mothers. Wives and mothers ! I say to myself, as I see the throat and neck with only the protection of a gold locket be tween itself and the cold autumnal winds. Wives and mothers! I say, as I see them ruining their feet ami throwing their ankles out of shape, in the vain endeavor to walk on heels like corks, fastened far into the middle of the sole of their boots; and those boots so high upon the calf of the leg, and so tightly buttoned across it, that circulation is stopped, and violent headaches follow. Wives and mothers! I say, as I see the heating and burden some panier tackled on the most deli cate portion of a woman’s frame, to make still surer confirmed invalidism. What fathers, husbands, brothers, lovers, can think about, to bo willing that the woman they respect and love should appear in public, looking like women whom they despise, is a marvel to me. Why they do not say this to them, and shame them into a decent appear ance—if their glasses can not effect it —I do not know. Oh, the relief it is to meet a lady, instead of a ballet girl. Oh, the relief it is to see a healthy, firm-stepping, rosy, broad-chested, bright-eyed woman, clad simply with a dress all of one color, and free from bunches and tags! 1 turn to look at such an one with true respect, that she has the good sense and courage, and good taste, to appear on the street in a dress befitting the street; leaving to those poor wretched women whose business is to advertise their persons a free field without competition. If I seem to speak harshly it is because I feel earnestly ou this subject. I had hoped that the women of 1868 would have beeu worthy of the day in which they live. I had hoped that all their time would not have been spent in keeping up with die chameleon changes, of fashions too ugly, too absurd for toleration. It is because I want to be some thing, to do something higher and nobler than a peacock might aim at, that I turn heart-sick away from these infinitessimal fripperies that narrow the soul and purse, and leave nothing in their wake but emptiness. Nor is it necessary, in avoiding all this, that a woman should look “strong-minded,” as the bug-bear phrase goes. It is not necessary she should dress like her grandmother, in order to look like a decent woman. It is not necessary she should forswear ornamentation, because it were better and more re spectable to have it confined to festal and home occasions and less to the public promenade. She is not driven to the alternative of muffiing herself like an omnibus driver in January, or catching consumption with her throat protected only by a gold locket. Oh, how I wish that a bevy of young, handsome girls, of good social posi tions, would inaugurate a plain lady like costume for Street and church wear. I say’ young and handsome, because if an old woman does this, the little chits toss their heads and say, “ Oh ! she has had her day, and don’t care now, and wc want ours.” Now, that's perfectly’ natural and right, too, that you should have y r our youth; that you should, as girls say, “make the most of yourselvesbut in doing so don’t you think it would be well not to lessen or cheapen your selves ? and I submit, with all defer ence, to your dress-makers and mam mas, that every one of you who appear in public in the manner I have dc -scribed, are doing this very thing—arc defiling womanhood, and are bringing it into derision and contempt, whether you believe it or not.
