Too Bad.
We understand that a prominent
merchant of this city refused to sell a
bill of goods to a gentleman, because
he did not belong to his church !

Persons who are always standing
on their dignity had better sit down.
They must be pretty tired ; and then,
again, their dignity must suffer, being
stood upon so much.

<Hy Registration.
The number of voters registered on
Thursday were twenty-four whites
and twelve colored, and on yesterday
twenty-five whites and twenty-four
colored. The total, to date, is 3,606
—of which 1,804 arc whites, and 1,802
colored.
It will be observed that the above
total does not agree with that pre.
viousl given by us; but it corresponds
with that of the Registrars, who arc
called upon almost every day to erase
the names of parties who registered
through mistake, or without authority
of law.

Public Address.
We are requested to state that Hon.
11. M. Tu knee, President of the Col
ored Political and Civil Rights Asso
ciation, of the State of Georgia, will
address his fellow citizens of Augusta,
at the Court House, on Monday night,
the :10th inst., at 71 o’clock. Every
body is invited to hear him.
The Republican.
Postinastors and other friends of
the National Republican are par
ticularly requested, at this time, to aid
us in making either our daily or our
weekly issue a regular visitor in every
family in the State. The National
Republican is already much the
cheapest newspaper in the South, and
the immense strides which it is every
day making in circulation and popu
larity encourages us to redouble our
efforts to make it in every respect the
bqst.
Wants a Position.
In reply to a young writer, who
wishes to know- “ w hich magazine
will give me the highest position
quickest,” the Petersburg Express
says “ a powder magazine, if you con
tribute a fiery article.”
Xmas is Coming.
It is hardly necessary to remind our
little readers that Christmas is com
ing—they’ all know that quite as well
as we do. We want to tell them,
however, that when they are looking
out for Christmas gifts, there is no
present so cheap or so valuable as a
years' subscription to Burke's Weekly.
$2 will insure its visits every week
the year round. Think of this when
yon go to lay out money for Christmas
or Now Year’s presents.
Parents whose children are not now
taking thelFeeiWy will do well to send
us §2 for a years’ subscription. It will
give the children more solid enjoy
ment than S2O worth of anything else
yon can buy’ for them. All who send
$2 by the Ist of January’ will receive
the December number gratis.

Death of 11. Rives Pollard.
The telegraph a few day ago an
nounced the killing as the above
named gentleman, in Richmond, Vir
ginia, by a young man named James
Gkant. Tho following is tho article
(published in the Southern Opinion,
1 Mr. Pollard’s paper), which led to the
melancholy result: »

STREET—AN UPPER TEN FAMILY CON
CERNED-DREADFUL DENOUEMENT.
“Oh, no, we never mention 'em.” — Old air.
The Indian Summer has passed away, and
with it lias passed a fair and radiant daugh
ter of one of our first citizens—a nabob of
Clay street—a gentleman who suffice it to
say, holds the very first position in the
wealthy and fashionable circles of the city.
The daughter, the rebellant Ildeneoi the
family, is beautiful beyond description, but
her beauty did not prevent her from falling
desperately and irretrievably in love with a
young gentleman of semi milUarie connec
tions, who it appeal’s, some months ago,
plighted his troth and accepted the tiny
hand, grasping it within his own—
* Never to be parted ; never for aye.”
Nobody suspected a messalinnce, much less
the father, until last Saturday night, when
the daughter, who was the light of his housc
nold, fled to parts unknown, or at least only
guessed, in company with one (a masculine)
who should ere then have been proclaimed
his son-in-law.
The runaway parties have been heard
from, and it is now said that the lady pro
claims herself a wife of some six months,
and that her affianced is the choice of her
after life.
“What God hath joined together let no man put
asunder.”
The gay young man, who has wiskedaway
the angel, is a Lothario named Horace Ford,
of Goochland county, which county ought
to be proud of him, as it doubtless is. Horace
is an orphan, just plunging into his teens,
and has lost both of his parents by death.
Mucji property accrued to Horace in the
shape of money, chattels, goods, etc., and
having converted the whole into “ready
rhino,” Horace ventured for a swim in the
sea of gay life and love. He met Miss Mary
Grant—a beauty—
“ Met perchance tho usual way,”
talked delicious nonsense, won her heart,
then, half inclined to earnestness, threw it
away. Ah! me!
Then he sailed—
“Oh, he sailed—ob, he sailed.”
The same as Capt. Kyd did.
Horace went to New Orleans, and not
having been shipwrecked by the way, tele
graphed or wrote to his beloved. Thus it
went on through the sultry month of August,
the crimson period of October, when the for
ests change their garments, down to dull,
chill November.
Alas, that love should never run smooth,
in an even current, but love never did and
novel - will, so they say. She responded, all
all unknown to the healthy dad, and he
replied. Thus affairs progressed until
Horace announced last week that he was off
for Texas right away, and couldn't stop for
trifles like an affianced.
Then it was that the girl of the period
made up her mind and bundle. She would
follow liiui—yes, she would follow him to the
uttermost parts of the earth, Being of age,
and no longer the slave of parental control,
Miss Mary, on Saturday night last, having
habilimented herself becomingly, deserted
the palatial mansion on Clay street, and cast
ing behind her wealth, society and friends,
sought the office of a gentleman on Broad
street, whom she importuned to buy her a
ticket to New York. This gentleman, who
is the pink of propriety, refused, and Miss
Maryjsought elsewere and found the ready
means.
At all events she procured passage on the
cars and embarked on the 8| o’clock train,
which carried her Northward at the rate of
twenty or thirty miles an hour, if not as
speedily as her heart desired. On the train,
between Richmond and Acuuia Creek, she
was observed to weep bitterly by the conduc
tor, to w’hom she related her tale of woe and
distress.
Her departure created, of course, a hubbub
on the mansion on Clay street, and amid the
wringing of hands and loud expressions of
distress, the telegraph was invoked, and par
ties sent in hot pursuit. It was surmised that
young Ford, instead of going off to Texas
“right away,” as he announced, had put for
New York, there to meet his Mary, and
thither the detectives directed their steps.
The upshot of the matter is, to make a long
story short, that Miss Mary has been heard
from ; that she is now in Philadelphia, and
that upon the whole there is a very sorry
family history connected with thecasc, which
it is not within our province to reveal.

Made a Mistake.
The English Ritualists have adopted
the word “Mass” for their celebration
of the communion service. A near
sighted Roman Catholic priest, a
stranger to Brighton, mistook St.
Michael’s in that city for the Catholic
church, where he was going to say
a low mass. Attributing the apparent
want of holy water at the entrance to
the fault of the architect, or to his own
near-sightedness, he went up the side
aisle, catching a glimpse of a vested
priest at the “high altar,” and entered
the sacristy. Here he asked of an
attendant if he could say mass there
that morning. The answer was “that
he could.” As the priest was unrob
ing before putting on the chasuble,
etc., which were spread out before
him, the clergyman, fresh from cele
brating, entered the sacristy, attended
by a “server,” and carrying “paten,
chalice, and corporal” is as orthodox a
manner as could the Pope himself. As
the priest turnecT to look at this gen
tleman, in whom he expected to find
the Parocnus of the Catholic commu
nity, his eyes lighted upon three uni
versity hoods. “Do you wear hoods
here ?” he inquired. The clergyman
answered that such was their custom.
“I was told,” says ths priest, hesita
ing, “that I could say mass here this
morning.” “So you can,” returned
the clergyman blandly? “But—
ahem—is tliis a Catholic church ?”
“Yes,” was the culm answer. “Ah I”
says the priest, “is it the Roman
Catholic Church?” “Oh !”‘replies the
Ritualist meekly, “yo" uiust go loiver
down for that."

The Florida Impeachment.
Tallahassee, November 20.—The Su
preme Court assembled this morning, and
without transacting any business adjourned
on account of its being a day appointed
for thanksgiving and prayer by the Presi
dent of the United States and the Gover
nor of the State.
Lieut. Governor Gleason, in answer to
the rule nisi, says he ought not be nltideto
show by what authority lie holds the office
of Lieut. Governor by reason of anything
contained in the information on file in this
case, because the Court has no power or
jurisdiction to order the rule nisi; because
the Court has no original jurisdiction to
grant leave to file information in the na
ture of a quo warranto ; because the Court
has no original jurisdiction, under the
Constitution and laws, to issue writs of
quo warranto, or try proceedings thereon;
because the power given said Court, if
given at all by the Constitution, to issue
writs of quo warranto, can only be used as
an auxilliary to exercise appelate jurisdic
tion ; because A. R. Meek, represented as
Attorney General of the State in the papers
served, was appointed by Governor Reed
after impeachment; that if the Court has
jurisdiction over information and quo
warranto, it should not, in this case,
grant a writ, as public policy and
interest do not require or demand it; on
the contrary, it requires that it should be
denied; thut Harrison Reed has caused a
motion for the writ from malicious and
vindictive motives,»and to gratify a spirit
of revenge and recrimination against said
Gleason ; because Reed knew' at the time
of the election how long Gleason had been
a citizen of the State, and advocated his
election, and had at that time full know'-
IVUUV U 4 1411 1140 4UVIU
formation; because the Constitution has
given power to the Assembly to impeach
the Lieut. Governor, and the Senate the
power to try and remove him from office ;
that said bodies will soon be in session,
and exercise the power, if deemed neces
sary. lie says that for the above and
divers other reasons, the rule against him
should not issue, and the proceedings in
the case be quashed.
Nothing in the answer claims compe
tency to qualify for the office held.
Tallahassee, November 27.—1 n the
Supreme Court to-day, an argument in
answer to the rule nisi began. After leave,
a motion was made by Attorney General
Meek to strike out from the answer four
points, on the ground of irrelevancy and
impertinence. This motion w’as discussed
till adjournment this p. m.
The Killing of H. Rives Pollard.
Richmond, Va., Nov. 26. —E. A. Pollard,
brother of H. R. Pollard who was killed
on Tuesday, arrived here this afternoon.—
He publishes a card in the State Journal
alluding to the cheering of Grant by the
crowd, and the. verdict of the Coroner’s
Jury which says “the death was caused
by an unknown person,’’ etc., etc., he says :
“Let these things stand to the shame of
their perpetrators and write their own com
mentary on the chivalry of Richmond;
they shame not me, they shame not the
dead; my heart is sufficient to hold him;
no man can insult my tears: I come to
claim but one thing—justice!’’ After de
nouncing the cowardice of the deed, the
card concludes: “Let justice be done : let
all true people reconsider. lam far from
defending the article, which has been re
ferrpd to, in my brother’s paper; I deeply
regret it. But my brother did not write
it.; the murderer never inquired for the
real author, he never asked any word of
explanation, he never applied to have the
article corrected, he took not one single
measure which the brave man- no matter
how wronged—always takes before he
comes to the last resource of blood, he
went, without one alternative, to that re
source, and he went, where no one but the
coward treads, on the path of the assassin.”
Signed, Edward A. Pollard.
Mr. Pollard says that the Southern
Opinion shall not be published again.
New Orleans News
New Orleans, November 26.—Returns
telegraphed some days ago as the official
vote, was the vote returned to the office of
the Secretary of State yesterday. The
Governor, Secretary of State and Judge of
the Second Judicial District, examined the
returns and declared the result of the elec
tion. They throw out the entire vote of
the parishes of Avoyelles, West Fellesiana,
Franklin, Jackson, Jefferson, Orleans, St.
Bernard, Sabine and St. John. No legal
returns were made from the parishes of
Baptist, St. Martain, Terrebone and Wash
ington. The returns received give Grant
27,911, and Seymour 41,357. Notwith
standing the rejection of the vote of the
aoove-named parishes, Democratic Con
gressmen are declared elected from all but
the second district. In the latter district
only the parishes of Lafouclie, St. Charles
and St. James are counted, giving a cer
tificate to Sheldon for the full, and Menard
(negro) for Mann’s unexpired term. Hunt's
majority in the second district for both
terinsis nearly 10,000. In the first dis
trict St. Martin's majority over Scripper is
reduced by this rejection from 9.400 to
658. The Republican this evening says
there is some ambiguity in the law as to
who arc the returning officers for the
parish of Orleans. The report of the pro
ceedings of the Governor’s Committe show
some diversity of opinion as to the con
stcuction of the law.

Washington, November 26.—The im
pression increases that Grant will be sub
jected to all the leatrictions which have
cramped Johnson.
The admission of the Louisiana Con
gressmen, chosen at the recent election, is
highly improbable. The opposition to
their admission is strengthened by an
unofficial statement of Colonel Keeler, to
the effect that General Rousseau concurred
with the Radical leaders in the opinion
that the negroos could not safely vote.

posite party. A compromise was made on
John B. Baldwin for Chairman, and busi
ness committees were appointed.
Republican State Convention-
Jackson, Miss., November 26.—The Re
publican Convention adjourned last night,
after preparing an address to be submitted
to Congress, asking that body to declare
the defeated Constitution ratified and the
State officers elected. A number of prom
inent Republicans opposed this action,
inasmuch as the Commanding General
had, five months ago, forwarded his
official report to Congress, showing that
the Constitution had been defeated by a
majority of the votes cast at the election.
