Personal.
1 had hoped that the political con
test which resulted, on Wednesday
last, so much to the discomfiture of
the Republicans of Augusta, would
have ended the strife and i ternoss of
feeling growing out of it, and which
no one more than myself more
deeply deplores. But in this lam
constrained to acknowledge myself
sadly mistaken While standing bare
headed and unarmed, on Broad street,
yesterday morning, in conversation
with a friend and neighbor, I was ap
proached, from behind, by Gen. A. R.
Weight, editor in chief of the Chroni
cle tb Sentinel of this city, who, with
out intimation of his intention, assault
ed me with a bludgeon (or raw-hide)
in one hand and revolver in the other.
As is usual in all such unequal con
tests,! was worsted in the rencountre
and forced to yield the field, perhaps
ingloriously, though sustaining but in
significant personal damage.
Soon after the occurrence above
stated, our political editor entered the
office, and learning the particulars, ad
dressed the following note to my as
sailant :
Avgusta, Ga., Doo. 3d, 1868.
tien. -1. It. Wright—
Sir: I have just learned that you assaulted
Mr. Pughe this morning on the street, and I
presume in consequence of matter contained
in the National Republican.
As political editor of that Journal I hereby
announce myself as the writer of said arti
cles, and am alone responsible for them.
Jas. R. Hood.
A verbal answer only was returned,
to the effect that he (Gen. Weight)
would not receive any communication
from parties connected with my office.
During the day a committee of gen.
tiemen —all of them Democrats—called
to ascertain whether or not the matter
could be compromised, or in other
words, “amicably adjusted.” I replied
that a public acknowledgement by
Gen. Weight of the outrage he had
committed would be satisfactory; but
afterwards consented to a modification
of my demand, as an evidence of my
desire for peace. The gentlemen com.
prising the committee drew up a paper
embodying the terms upon which they
thought the difficulty ought to be
adjusted, and to which (being in con
sonance with my previous modified
demand) I assented. ’Phis paper, I
learn, was submitted to Gen. Wbight,
who rejected it unless accompanied by
a pledge which I could not, would not
give.
Thus ended the attempt to adjust
the unmanly outrage upon me by com
promise ; and I am, therefore, under
the necessity of making this public
statement in relation to it. I am,
nevertheless, under obligations to the
gentleman who interceded in the cause
of peace. lam likewise grateful to
very many others of my Democratic
fellow-citizens who, during the day,
signified to me, in person and by letter
their sympathy for me and their de
nunciation of my cowardly assailant.
In conclusion, I beg to assure the
good citizens of Augusta—to whom I
am well known, having resided here
for a number of years—that my ac
quiescence in Wednesday’s election,
as announced in Thursday’s Republi
can and republished to-day, was in
good faith, and by which I pledge my
self to stand to in future.
E. H. PUGHE.
Ecstatic.
Everybody, and their wives and
responsibilities, arc perfectly enthused.
We like it—it augurs well. There is
seldom danger in man, woman or
child, when joy pervades the heart.
The fact is, we are so completely cap
tivated with the exhibition of good
feeling that we are almost constrained
to throw down our “greater than the
sword,” and get enthused ourselves.

as one of the most popular papers in
the Democratic faith.
With the commencement of a new

Beautiful Fancy tioods.
In variety, at I*9o Broad streM
’ luiiiigiiration of the Mayor and
Conncilmcii.
At 12 o'clock m., yesterday, Ju Igo
John C. SnuAd mid C. P. McCalla,
Clerk of Council, appeared at Council
prepare torr to the inaugu
ration ot the newly elected Mayor ami
Aldermen.
Judge Snead Stated that there was
no member of the old < 'ouncil present,
and, under the law, he would proceed
to swear in the Mayor and Council
elect.
The Clerk then called tin.- name of
Hknky F. Russell, Mayor elect, who
appeared aud was duly qualified by
Judge Snead, and took his scat amid
the most deafening cheers.
Mayor Russell then called the
Council to order, and addressed them
as follows:
tiiidlcmcii oj'the City Council:
It is known, 1 presume to all that the po
sition we arc called upon to occupy was not
of our seeking, but rather that its cares,
responsibilities, vexations and annoyances
were shrunk from and avoided. 1 deem,
however, that it is the duty of every good
citizen to give a portion of his time to the
public, and think that, all who arc competent
and faithful ought to be willing to accept
their share of public service.
We have been chosen by the citizensol
Augusta to administer its municipal affairs
for the ensuing year. A grave responsibility,
for we arc to be. judged, in all our actions, by
the public; and it is as you well know, never
either show or stinted in itscensures. It hai
been the custom of many elected to offices of
the character of those we occupy, to an
nounce that if success shall not crown their
efforts, they w ill, at least, try to merit it.
Gentlemen, if we shall be found earnest,
industrious and faithful in the discharge of
our actions, with an eye single to the best
interest of our people—no individuous dis
tinction being made, but justice rendered to
all—we will have success!
The first matter that will demand your
serious attention is the financial condition of
our city. Every good citizen, every tax
payer must and does feci sensibly, anil with
mortification, the depreciated condition of
out public debt. My first suggestion, there
fore, is, that you shall appoint a Committee
of your body to examine into mid report
upon it, that all may know its extent, and
suggest what means may be devised to
promptly meet the payment of tlic interest on
it. My next suggestion is, that you deter
mine in what manner the expenditures of the
city may be largely reduced; for in no other
way can the desired relief come. Surely,
gentlemen, it ought not to require $300,000
to pay the expenses of the municipal gov
ernment, with a population, I suppose, of
not more than twenty thousand ’souls—even
with Ihe interest of the public debt in
cluded.
Gentlemen, let not economy be a mere
catch-word; but rather let us inaugurate
and sternly enforce it. Our main, I believe
our only, resource is from taxation. The
daily j weekly, monthly, yearly obligations of
the city of Augusta must be drawn from the
pockets of the tax payers; we have no other
resources. Now’, while 1 hope and pray for
the day to come when taxation, the clog mid
curse of all people, may be reduced, candor
compels me to say that! see no early relit i
for us—certainly none, even in the disl.a;
future, unless we shall vigorously, and at
once curtail our expenditures.
Gentlemen. die entire <state or many of
our people note consists of a home, a roof, to
shelter them. This home is ta.i:yl?h-. mid can
be sold for debt. Shall this be done ? Shall
we not rather strive to relieve that home from
taxation too heavy to be borne?
Gentlemen, it is my opinion the . al! other
important matters relating to the sucvssful
administration of our city government, are
involved in and dependent on the comfCiLi
ble condition of the Trea The earc of
the poor, whom we have ■ iways w ith u .
proper arrangements for theprescrvatii n of
the public pewe, ability !<> lend a helping
hand when camimty o, • u-., .igep'irc.
ample public mean's ■- well as individual
sacrifices.
in conclusion, gcmleuu a, 1 rely upon your
earnest co-opcration, a id trt<-r that our delib
erations will be ebameterizcd by wisdom and
coolness, above all with an eye single io the
interests of our people, so that nolle may <><
able to say, with truth, that even-handed
justice has not been done to all. I pronounce
the Council organized.
The utmost good feeling seemed to
pervade the audience' assembled to
witness the ceremonies, and nothing
transpired at variance with good
order and decorum, beyond a few in
delicate expressions by some individua! s
whose zeal more than balanced their
discretion.
The respective Councilmen were
duly qualified, amid full and repeated
cheers by the large assemblage present.
We were pleased to note among
the audience the pupils of the Houghton
Institute, in charge of Air. Martin V.
Calvin, who deported themselves in
a manner reflecting credit on them
selves, and honor on the Superintend
ent and teachers of this institution.
In session of the new Council, the
following proceedings transpired :
Air. Ali.kn moved that the Rules
that governed the previous Council be
adopted for the present Council.
Air. Aleyei: moved that the Mayor
be requested to appoint the Standing
Committees at his leisure.
These motions being concurred in,
Council adjourned until Saturday eve
ning next, at 7 o’clock.
A SuggeMion, Not a Complaint.
Broad street was again all ablaze
last night, with bonfires, rockets, etc.,
in glorification, wc presume, of the
overwhelming victory achieved by our
Democratic friends at the election on
Wednesday last. We do not wish to
be understood as objecting to this--
because it is a part of our creed to al
low the “largest liberty to the largest
number,’’ provided the rights, privi
leges and feelings of the minority are
respected ; but we would respectfully
suggest that a thing mag, by an im
proper use, be run into the ground;
and, iu view of the squalid poverty so
glaringly apparent iu almost every
Ward in the city, ask if it would not
have redounded vastly more to the
credit to the getters up of the lasi
demonstration —which was certainly
on a very grand scale—had they ap
propriated only one-half the amount
thus thrown away, to the purchase "I
bread and meat to subsist our worthy
poor, and wood to render their habita
tions comfortable during a portion, at
I least, of the preßent frost y w eathcr ?
The Demonstration Imsi Night.
Having lost the leaf of our memo
randum containing our most comply
honsire phrases of description, we
cannot essay the task of giving any
thing like an adequate conception of
the varied proceedings which charac
terized the demonstration last night
in honor of the new city administra
tion.
In the musical department,' we'
observed a multiplicity of horns, of
almost every conceivable shape,
scope, and length, many approxima
ting the compass of those used by
stage-drivers before railroads were
fashionable. It is needless to remark
that the airs executed on these instru
ments were entirely improvised,rising
and falling in proportion to the lung
strength of the performers.
The/iea iZeJoic was a decided noise.
It embraced poppers, rockets, torpe
does, and those tender-mouthed “dogs
of xvar” with which we were so fami
liar before we had “peace.”
Many costumes Worn by the active
participants in the comic procession
were grotesque enough to excite the
risibility ofcven a defeated candidate;'
and, if they were designed to provoke
mirth, and create good feeling, they
answered well the purpose for which
they were devised.
The procession proper did not em
brace the largest number we ever saw
on a similar occasion, but its “right
aud left bowers”—the throngs on
either side of the street- —were prodigi
ous.
The spirit which seemed to pervade
the entire populace, from the inception
to the consumation of their object, in
celebrating the advent of a new regime
in the management of city affairs, par
took of little that was blameable. If
this spirit is maintained, we can see no
good reason why all citizens, of what
ever laith, shall not unite in upholding
the administration of our new city
fathers.
Doing Tilings by Halves.
It is generally conceded that
Hewitt, of the Globe Hotel, never
does things by halves. We are in
the minority on that point, because
la«t evening, just on the point of our
adjournment, he Sent ns, with his
compliments, only half a bushel of
genuine Democratic punch. If Hewitt
punches his guest.- in the captivating
manner in w hieh be punched us last
evenins:, it is no wonder he is popular,
ranch on, Hewitt; we guess wo can
stand it, if you can bear it. /Ac'-itt
as yon may. the chips fly right.

From the statement of the Consti
tution, the registered white vote of
the city reached 2,000. It is but fair
to assume that the colored vote should
foot up 1,500. The vote cast —985
is not sufficiently full to induce a will
ing surrender of the city affairs to
the newlv elected city officials.
Ahead of Time.
J ttdging from the amount of fire
crackers, squibs, and other devices in
cident to Christmas, which have been
expended in this city during the past
two nights, this holiday has run in on
us about twenty days ahead of
schedule.

A New Editor. —Our devil took
the editoral chair and furnished the
following. We are afraid he is too
knowing for one of his age :
I Saw Her But a Moment.— She wore a
handsome crinoline on the day when first
we met, and she scudded like a schooner
with a cloud of canvas set. As she swept
along the pavement with grandeur fit to
kill—l saw her but a moment, but methinks
I see her still.
The wind was on a bender, and as saucy
as a witch, and it played the very dickens,
with dust, dimity and sich. The gaiters were
delicious, which her feet were made to
fill—l saw her but a moment, yet methinks I
sec her still.
She scooted round the corner, and stream
ing out behind, her crinoline and calico were
romping in the wind. To have kept them in
position would have battled twice her skill—
I saw her but a moment, yet methinks I see;
her still.
. I shut my eyes tremenjus, for 1 didn't want
to see, a display of—pretty ancles, when
it wasn't meant for me; and until I lose my
senses, I'm sure I never will—l saw her but
a moment, yet methinks 1 sec her still.—

, Dots it Pai to AiivMniaa?—
Does adYertising pav ? The nuiverual
I answer is that it flOes and there is
I Lardlx a penon but can give one or
more instance® within his kiinxrledge
of men who have made fortunes by
advertising. Ask not merely the pat
ent niedieine men, but go to men in
ordinary mercantile pursuits.
People are quite apt to go where
their attention is called, and if thev
find things -as represented they will
bestow tneir patronage instead of
■ spending their time looking elsewhere.
There is no instance on record of a
well-sustained system of judicial ad
vertising failing of success.
We do not say that, no man who
has not propeHy advertised has pros
pered in business, but we do say that
it is a rare case where any business
might not have been greatly aug
mented bv a judicious use of printer’s
ink.
The fact is. that sensible, skilful
advertising pays ten fold better than
all other investments that call for a
like amount of expenditure. We have
felt it in Our own business. There is
nothing that pays like advertising. It
is, in reality, the only royal road to
wealth. And yet there is no element
of success so little used.— Lynchburg
