Union—Liberty—Justice.
This is a Republic where the Will of
the People is the Law of the Land.
| U. S. Gran t.
“ JL’u/cZt over the preservation of the Union
with, zealous eye, and indignantly Jrown upon
the first dawning of every attempt to alienate
any portion of the Country from the rest, or
to enfeeble the. sae.rtd ties, which now link
together the various parts’’— Washington’s
Farewell Address.
The Election Yesterday.
It is reported that there was an
election held in the city yesterday for
municipal officers of Augusta. We
inquired of several Republicans, but
could not learn whether the report
was true or not. As a dernier resort,
we dispatched several members of our
reportorial staff to inquire among the
Democrats to see whether the active
members of that party could inform
us whether there w as any truth in the
singular report. After several hours’
absence (and, indeed, considerably
after nightfall), they returned, one by
one—all agreeing that the Democrats
held an election during the day ; that
a few Republicans voted; but that it
would be impossible for several days
to estimate Russell’s majority. Most
of our reporters were evidently stam
peded. The fact is, we feel rather
inclined to stampede ourselves.
Well, we are beaten. We arc not
only repulsed—we are defeated—we
are routed. Swearing will be of no
use—so we shan't swear ; crying will
be of no’avail—-so we shan’t cry ; going
into the sulks will not change the
result—so we shan’t go into the sulks;
laughing always made us feel comfort
able—and so here is a loud ha ! ha I
at our own discomfiture. We can
stand defeat as well as pretended
Republicans who deserted their prin
ciples. We can stand a defeat better
than the opposing party can stand
such an overwhelming victory. We
doubt whether the sedate gentlemen
who are elected will survive so much
glory. A recollection of what it cost
them in Chase photographs may arouse
them to the realities of life and the
emptiness of Aldennanic honors. Let
no one imagine that we are despond
ent. The thing is too grotesque for
sadness. Then the good time that is
coming—we hope to share. Every
laboring man is to have work, aud
everybody is to make a hatful of
money, with a Christmas turkey
thrown in. For our part we will be
satisfied with the turkey, and continue
to use our old hat to cover our head.
There being a hole in the crown of it,
wo tear the Chase photographs would
fall through.
We accept our defeat very much in
the spirit in which the Fredericks
burg (Va.) ATetc«, Democratic, ac
cepted the defeat of its party at the
elections in the North last October. It
said:
The news is so bad that it is really laugha
ble. “Human hopes have oft deceived me,”
is an appropriate hymn, and “Whom the
Lord loveth He chasteneth,” is a consoling
reflection. People who never were worth a
cent are the most depressed, and fear they
will become bankrupt if the stay law is not
extended. Just as the grog shop loafers
used to be so uneasy lest their wealthy neigh
bors would do something to impair the
value and security of slave propertv in the
Territories.
I’rovidencc has determined to ujiset this
so-called free government, and as political
journals will be probably suppressed or use
less, we are in doubt whether to make the
n religious or an agricultural paper.
P. S.—As there seems to be such a poor
chance for things generally in this world, it
is high time our readers were making prep
arations for the next. And, as we have said
before, the first step is to pay up all you
owe this office, and indeed one year’s sub
scription in advance would show an im
proved sense of duty and a more healthy
conscience.
—— - >
Commendable.—Although the ad
vice was unheeded by its party, we
deem but an act of simple justice to a
]>olitical opponent, that we should
place on record our most earnest com.
mendatiou ol the excellent article in
the Constitutionalist, of yesterday,
making a manly protest against the
action of the Committees of the Dem
ocratic party in notifying tiie business
men of Augusta to close their places
oi business daring the day.
Out: Advantage.—We have one
advantage over die Democrats who
celebrated their victory last niaht—
our head don’t feel as big as a water
tank this morning.
On Carpet Baggers.
People of Northern birth, who have
come South since the war, have liven
denominated “carpet-baggers." There
arc two classes of “carpet-baggers.”
These classes differ in character aud
worth as much as it is possible for
men to differ from each other. The
deserving class, and that which are
desirable as immigrants to this section,
arc the Northern citizens who locate
here for the purpose of engaging in
business, and who have the honesty
and manliness to acknowledge that
they have been, and are, friends of
their country. It is the interest and
duty of the Government, and of all its
friends, to encourage such “ carpet
baggers.” We need a leaven of loy
alty and of skilled labor in the South.
We arc reluctantly coming to the
conclusion that the only hope of free
dom and political toleration here is in
the settlement of tliecountry with this
class of citizens.
We need citizens—not politicians.
We have more of the latter now than
are beneficial to the country or the
party. <>f so much importance do we
conceive immigration from the North
to the South, that we desire to bring
the subject to the attention of the
leading citizens of the North. It is
useless for Northern men Io come
here with a view of entering into any
mercantile business, unless they are
willing to sell their opinions to the
mob spirit that is now unfortunately
in the ascendancy. Manufacturing or
farming is the only means by which
they can hope to make a living aud
maintain their self-respect and man
hood. Farmers and manufacturers
can afford to be freemen even Imre in
Georgia, as soon as Grant’s positive
character shall compel the disbanding
of the Ku-Klux Klans. The former
easily grow sufficient to support him,
and the cotton, wheat, and corn.
That he may be able to put in the
market will meet with ready sale,
without regard to the politics of the
producer. The manufacturer is so
much needed here that he will
necessarily succeed by the exercise of
true Northern energy, if he has suf
ficient capital. Some systematic plan,
for the encouragement of this class of
“ carpet-baggers,” should be at once
set on foot by the leading men of
liberal views in Georgia, to act in
conjunction with an organization
which should be formed, and made
general, throughout the East. This
is a peaceable plan for building up a
sentiment of loyalty to the Nation
among the whites of the South. Its
salutary effects may not be visible
immediately, but the effect will never
theless exist, and it will be permanent.
Twenty thousand hard-working Van
kees in Georgia would make them*
selves respected, and their influence
would constitute an unpurchaseable
balance of power in the State. The
Union people stand greatly in need
of such auxiliaries. The young
men of the East will find it
pecuniarily profitable to locate in
Georgia. Lauds are cheap, labor is
cheap, and every article that a Georgia
farm produces meets with ready cash
sales, at prices which yield a handsome
profit on the capita) invested. To
this class we say, You came a few
years since with your knapsacks; now
come with your “carpet-bags.” Bring
your wives, and determine to better
your fortunes, and you will not be
disappointed. But there is another
class of “carpet-baggers” who are a
nuisance and a disgrace to the Repub
lican party. They retard its growth,
and have been of incalculable injury
to permanent Southern reconstruction.
We allude to those who squat in par
ticular localities, and at once become
candidates for office. If they obtain
the office, they’ are citizens; if they
fail, they pick up their “carpet bags”
and seek some other temporary home,
to repeat the same game of seeking
office. Such men are detestable, and
the National Republican cannot
sustain or endorse them.
Not So.—The Columbus Enquirer
gives credit to a report that the At
lanta .Em speaks the sentiments of
Chief Justice Brown, in its declara
tion that it is in favor of letting things
remain as they are. The Enquirer is
mistaken. Whatever may be its pre
tensions, it does not, cannot, speak the
sentiments of ex-Governor Brown on
Georgia affairs. As to the Era, it has
no “sentiments.” It has interests
and it consults those alone. In less
than thirty- days, wc predict that the
Era will be clamorous for Congres
sional interference in Georgia matters.
Should have a Vote of Thanks.
—Those patriotic Democratic knights,
of the Ku-Klux Klan, of Columbia
county, who generously Look charge
of the voting in the Fourth Ward,
yesterday, and conducted in truly Ku-
Klux style, arc certainly' entitled to a
vote of thanks by the several Demo
cratic clubs of Augusta. We should
favor an extension to them, also, of
the “freedom of the city,” bad they
not rendered such a eoiurtcsy unneces
sary by taking it.
Light Reading for Ladies.
Open waists with chemisettes are
very much worn.
Tight fitting velveteen and plush
saques are now’ in vogue.
Winseys and serges make durable
suits, and are’fashionable.
Opal rings are now superseding dia
mond engagement rings.
“ Initialed portemonniacs” are
among the latest things out.
Wedding toilets this winter will be
conspicuous for their elegant sim
plicity.
Trains are more moderate and
graceful than the extreme styles worn
of late.
The latest caprice chronicled is the
bird hat, made of the entire plumage
of a fowl.
A woman with nothing to wear
except a red plaid shawl caused a sen
sation on the streets of New York,
Sunday.
Velvet suits are fashionable and
elegant, whether in entire suits or
with an underskirt of some contrast
ing color.
Guppy, whose wife has “the bend,”
complains that it makes her quarrel
some. She gets her back up every
time she goes out.
Short dresses are adopted for break
fast, for the promenade, for church,
for dancing, and on all occasions but
those of great ceremony’, such as
bridal call and wedding receptions.
A panier is divided into three parts —
a steel frame, an under puff’ of
starched calico, and an over puff of
silk, velvet, or cashmere. Such are
the constituent members of the cele
brated Grecian bend.
A pretty woman is like a great truth
or a great happiness, and has no more
right to bundle herself up under a
green veil or any other similar abomi
nation than the sun has to put on
spectacles.
The conference of German ladies,
held at Stuttgart, has decided to or
ganize a commission of painters, doc
tors, taiiors, and modistes, for the
purpose of suggesting new, artistic,
and appropriate toilets.
Cravats of colored silk, to match
with the material or trimming of the
dress, ami ornamented with brocade
flower <>r other patterns, are now
worn under morning collars, and arc a
pretty and stylish finish to a lady’s
toilet.
A line and handsome material for
ordinary wear has recently been im
ported under the name of English
water-proof. It is superior to all other
kinds, and is in various colors, black
and brown making the handsomest
suits.
A new and fashionable suit is of
Sultan red under skirt, with three nar
row ruffles around the bottom, and
and over skirt of black silk, trimmed
with netting and tassel fringe. The
over skirt is looped up at the sides
with bows of white ribbons, and has
full paniers at the back.
Dr. Stard, the Registrar General
of Scotland, reports that “bachelor
hood is more destructive to life thau
the most unwholesome trades, or than
residence in an unwholesome house
or district, where there never has
been the most distant attempt at sani
tary improvement of any kind.”
The Czar of Russia wreaks his
vengeance with even more reckless
ness on the women than on the men of
unhappy Poland. His latest and most
outrageous attack on the beautiful
daughters of that afflicted land is the
prohibition in Poland of all journals
containing the Paris fashions.
The approaching marriage of the
French Secretary’ of the Chinese em
bassy’ and the daughter of a well
known hotel keeper is all the talk
among the elite. The bride to be is
a young widow, handsome and accom
plished. The gallant party of the first
part is a gentleman of fine education,
good looking, and has distinguished
himself not only at home but in
foreign lands.
Miss Lydia Thompson, a favorite
actress in New York, has been driven
to publish the following card: “ Dear
Sir—By a paragraph I have just seen,
asserting that my hair is macle fair by
the use of artificial means, and that
some people knew me when my hair
was dark, I beg to assure you that
this is a mistake. My’ hair is now the
natural color it was when nature first
allowed it to grow, and it seems to be
my misfortune that the prevailing
fashion causes the use of hair-dye to
give it the golden hue which I had to
wear when dark hair was the rage.”
A Boston letter says: “ A young
artist of this city, whose productions
have been seen in every picture-shop
window during the past ten years, has
abandoned the pallet aud the brush
for a blooming widow of sixty’ and
the handsomd stun of $250,000. The
daring groom is thirty-four. The bride
has made the tour of the continent
several times, has seen much of gay
life in the French capital; in her
younger days she has been the ‘ ob
served of all observers’ in Boston
fashionable society. The fact of her
marriage becoming known, there was
a great flutter among the beaux and
belles, but more especially in certain
theatrical circles and the yacht clubs.”

used to compose in lied, and that
once, when a line duet that he was

took another sheet and composed an
other duet entirely different from the
first.
—At a late meeting of the Fruit
Growers’ Club in New York, the per

Yale College has 724 students.
This is the greatest number the Col

—Mrs. Schuyler Colfax is about
thirty years of age, of medium size,
good figure, dark hair, brown eyes,
with a pleasing face, indicating good
ness and intelligence. All who know
her speak of her amiability and quiet
good sense, as qualifying her admira
bly to preside at the house of the Vice
President.
—Governor Brownlow, is strenu
ously’ urging, through his paper, the
erection in Knoxville of a rolling mill
for the manufacture of railroad iron.
Thousands of tons, he says, will be
■wanted there in the next three years,
and the Governor thinks the county
and corporation authorities would
unite with the railroad companies in
taking stock in such an enterprise.
—E. O. Perrin, of New York, U. S.
Revenue Agent, has sent in his resig
nation, accompanied by a humorous
letter, in which ho says he stumped
Maine for Seymour and it went thirty
thousand for Grant. He thinks, had
he stumped it twice, it would have
gone unanimously for Grant, and that
he did a great deal for Grant by
stumping for Seymour. His letter is
worthy of emulation.
—Leprosy ia reported to be spread
ing at a fearful rate in the Sandwich
Islands, and the Government is urged
to adopt severe measures, in order to
check the disease, which is believed to
have been introduced by the emigrants
from China. This description of leprosy
is considered contagious, and, unless
its progress can be arrested, the Sand
wich Islands, it is asserted, will, in
fifteen years’ time, be depopulated.
—The machinery in the Springfield
(Mass.) Watch Factory cost §300,000,
and is so nice and intricate that the
finest skill and two years’ time were
required for its construction. There
are no less than 300 machines, of sev
enty different kinds, all adapted to their
work. There are in a watch 170 pieces,
of 100 kinds, requiring about 1,500
processes in their manufacture.
—A story is told of a Western
lawyer who attended a religious meet
ing, where he was called upon to offer
prayer. Not being experienced in
such duty, he rose and attempted the
Lord's prayer, and succeeded very
well until he came to the passage,
“Give us this day our daily bread,”
when, from the force of habit, he im
mediately added, “with costs.”
—Chemistry, in answer to the old
question, “How did the world begin?”
says that it grew from the thin air we
breathe ! It certainly shows that the
most solid parts of the earth can be
turned into liquids and gases—that
the surface coating of the globe is
composed of oxygen, and that the
gases can be turned into liquid first,
and then into solids.
The coffer dam built by the Govern
ment engineers engaged in improving
the navigation of the Mississippi river,
over the rapids of Rock Island, is
4,600 feet, or seven-eighths of a mile
long. It runs parallel with the shore,
is from eight to fourteen feet wide,
and near 1,000,000 feet of lumber was
used in its construction. The Govern
ment lias appropriated §480,000 for
this improvement.
—A dangerous swain, in the person
of a coachman, has again disturbed the
happiness of the family’ of a wealthy
gentleman of Lewes, county of Sussex,
England—his only daughter, the fu
ture heiress of 50,000 pounds sterling,
having eloped with the not even good
looking groom of her father, and being
clandestinely married to the man of
her choice, in London, a few weeks
ago.
—A Salt Lake City’ dispatch says
that new and rich mines have been
discovered on White River, the ore
taken out paying from §5,000 to
§7,000 per ton. Assays have been
made of ore yielding §IO,OOO to
§15,000 per ton. An ore crushing
mill is already’ in operation, and large
quantities of ore arc being shipped
daily to Austin for reduction.
—The average life of a railroad
sleeper is seven years. There arc
2,112 in a mile. The average cost is
fifty cents each. Thus our sleepers
are costing us §l5O a mile every year
for each of the 40,000 miles iu the
Union. The sleepers on the English
roads last, on an average, fourteen
years, and when properly treated with
preserving substances, they last for a
century. The wooden structures on
the farms of this country cost §3,000,-
000,000 every thirty years, or §1,000,-
000,000 each year. By the use of
simple and cheap preservatives, the
duration of all this wood could at least
be doubled.
—Tire erection of a statute to
Queen Victoria in the Place D’Armes,
Montreal, is strongly opjwsed by the
Roman Catholic Bishop’s organ, Lc
Xbui'cau Month , on the ground that
she is the head of the Anglican Church.
It says : “It is quite enough to have
disfigured Jacques Cartier square, an
other historical spot, with the Nelson
column. We will not have our feel
ings as Catholics and first settlers in
this country wounded by the demand
of our co-citizens of other origins or
creeds.”
