The statements of Mr. A. R. Wright,
of the Chronicle ct Sentinel, and my
self, in regard to the “ little unpleas
antness,” as he is pleased to charac
terize his assault upon me on Thursday
last, are before the public. Just and
honorable men will decide the issue
between us, and I shall cheerfully
acquiesce in that decision.
It will be noticed how very careful
Mr. Wbight is in not saying a word
about his revolver or pistol being in
one hand, whilst his li little joker" was
in the other, and he protected in his
rear by his son-in-law.
As Mr. Wright has assumed the
position that I am the “ostensible
editor and publisher” of this paper, I
will state that hereafter, as hereto
fore, if his own violence shall demand
it, he will be exposed in a proper man
ner, and I alone will be responsible for
tho articles issued through these col
umns.
I will also state that a gentleman
informed me, on yesterday morning,
that a friend of Mr. "Wright’s had
stated that if Seymour and Blair
had been elected, I would have been
attacked at that time. Comment is
unnecessary.
It certainly was in very bad taste,
to say the least of it, for Mt. Wright
to wait, before he attacked me, until
the result of the Municipal Election
was fully known.

A Consolation.
To the officials of the city who, at

the Democratic ticket with the hope
of being retained in their positions,
we offer some agreeable consolation,
on the outside of our paper this morn

thought of the municipal election here
while penning his letter.
Dan. Castello’s Circus.
Don’t forget that to-morrow and

the presentation of this exhibition in
Augusta. The character of Dan’s

our exchanges from points where he
has exhibited during his present

The “clerk of the weather” has

The Republican Meeting.
Ikist night, was well attended —by
Democrats. The only speaker, (’apt.
J. E. Briant, mounted the rostrum,
in Court Room of City Hall, and
dilated at some considerable length as
to the legality and wisdom of certain
general lines of ]K>licy tor the Repub
licans to pursue. In touching iqxm
the recent Municipal Election, he
counselled his party to sustain’and
uphold the newly inducted administra
tion-- urging it as a matter of interest
and a cultivation of amicable relations
betweeneitizens, of whatever color or
party bias. He took occasion to wash
his hands of any attempt to interpose
any obstacle hi the way of the full
and free exercise, by the present City
Council, of the duties of the respective
offices to which they had been elected.
This latter elicited hearty cheers from
the Democratic side of the house,
which seemed to be at least three to
one.
He submitted, at the close of his
remarks, to tho Republicans present,
the following resolutions, which, upon
vote, he declared adopted :
Whereas, The Republican party lias met
with a defeat in the recent municipal elec
tion ; and
Whereas, In time ot defeat, it is welt to
meet together for consultation for the pur
pose of renewing our allegiance to tbe great
party that has saved the Nation, and secured
freedom and political equality to several
millions of the inhabitants of Uris country,
and for the purpose of pledging anew our
support to that party, therefore,
ZfrwZiv-rf, That we declare our belief in the
great truths set forth in the Declaration of
Independence, that all men were created
equal, and that Governments derive their
just powers from the consent of the gov
erned.
HeMteed, That we return unfeigned thanks
to Almighty God for tbe success that has
crowned our etfqfts to reconstruct our be
loved State, and establish here the great
principles of equal Tights to all men.
Re-whed, That we refer with pride to our
efforts to restore Georgia to her practical re
lations with the General Government, and
we rejoice that sire is once more entitled to
all the rights of a State in the Federal Union.
llcxical, That if our citizens arc unable
to secure the rights to which they me enti
tled in tho State Courts, we will appeal to
Congress for protection.
Iweolced, That we deeply regret our defeat
in the recent municipal election, but as good
citizens we pledge to the newly elected offi
cers our hearty co-operation in all just mea
sures, the same that we should have expected
them to accord to our party if we had been
successful.
A question of politics should not be
allowed to interfere with the material
interests of our city. So long as
equity and justice characterize an ad
ministration, we hold it to be tho duty
of all who profess themselves good
citizens, to lend their aid and influence
in harmonizing all minor differences
that may arise. If our city is pros
perous, and justice be impartially dis
pensed, the good arising therefrom
will not necessarily alone attach to
those who claim to be the victors —it
will permeate the whole community,
dispensing its blessings as Gon sends
the rain, “upon the just and unjust.”
hi furtherance of our already ex
pressed desire for paeitie and general
support of “the powers that be,” we
take occasion to remark here that
there is no argument essential upon
this matter. Recognizing the great
fundamental doctrine that government
must rest upon the consent of the gov
erned, we cannot, in thfc face es the
expressed desire of such a large ma
jority of our fellow-citizens, both
white and colored, discern the advan
tages to any class of our citizens from
a captious opposition to, or groundless
condemnation of those gentlemen who
are to administer city affairs.
What we desire, as a component part
of this community’, is supply law and
order, with equal justice to all its citi
zens. When these ends arc subserved,
then our city government, will have
fully consummated the object of its
organization. To assume that such
policy will not mark the course of the
present administration, before occular
and positive demonstration of the
fact, is, to say the least, uncharitable,
and unworthy the endorsement of any
fair-minded man.
A Fortune Without (Capital.
A Mississippi editor, having given
notice that he would inform, free of
charge, enterprising young men how
to make a fortune without capital, re
plies to several anxious inquiries;
“Every one of you pull off your coats,
leave off your army sixes, <juit whis
key, go J.O work, make a crop of corn,
cotton, peas and potatoes; house them
up, then marry an ‘enterprising’ girl 1”
We give place to this valuable inform
ation cheerfully, knowing that there
arc many young men in Augusta
whose case it equally meets.

Which is Right ?
The Atlanta Era has the following
in reference to Georgia failing to east
a vote for President and Vice-Presi
dent :
The act of Congress requires that the elect
ora meet in each State, at a place fixed by the
State, on the first Wednesday in December
and cast, the vote of the State. The Legis
latures of the different States have fixed the
Capital of the State as the place of meeting.
The law therefore requires that the electors
meet at the Capital of the State, on the first
Wednesday in this month, and cast the vote
of the State.
We notice that this has been done in the
other States. In this State, however, we un
derstand that but one of the electors attended
at the appointed time-—Col. John C. Nichols,
of the First District. As th to was no quo
rum present no vote was cast. So, after all
our hard fight in Georgia, the State did not
vote for President.
In view of tbe fraud and intimidation by
which the State was carried by the Democra
cy, wc presume the elector*, were satisfied that
the vote would not be counted, and thought
it unnecessary to put themselves to the trou
ble, or the State to the expenses, of a meet
ing to cast the illegal ballot. It amounts to a
clear confession of judgment, and saves Con
gress the trouble of ruling out the State for
unfairness, fraud and intimidation.
The Era must certainly be in error
in this matter, because section 1333 of
Irwin’s Revised Code provides that
(In the twentieth day after said eleotioa
shall have taken plaec, it is the duty of the
Governor to consolidate the several returns
and immediately notify those persons of their
election who have received a vote amounting
to a majority, and to require their attend
ance at the Capitol on the fir»t Monday in
December thereafter, to cast the Vole of*the
State on the Wednesday following, at 12
o’clock in.
To-morrow being the first Monday
in December, it would seem that the
7i’r« is in error in its deductions, or
that Judge Irwin does not give the
correct provision, unless, indeed, as
maintained by a legal gentleman at our
elbow', the statute of the State is in
conflict with the requirement of the
National law ; or, as he more tersely
expresses it, that “it did not occur to
the Georgia Legislature that the first
Wednesday in December might occur
before the first Monday.”
A Bully Sentiment.
A good joke has bfltm told us which
came out of the course of the work
ings of that inuoh abused, but really
beniticent institution, the Freedmen’s
Bureau:
It appears that all persons teaching
freedmen’s schools are requested by
the Bureau to furnish monthly reports
of their operations; for this purpose
the Department furnishes to teachers
a blank, with questions printed upon
it, to be answered by the teachers,
“ state the average attendance during
the month,” “the number of scholars
always present,” etc., etc. Among
the questions is this, “ state the public
sentiment towards colored schools.”
Recently, an officer in the Bureau
received a report which appeared to
be all right, but when lie came to the
question “ state the public sentiment
toward public schools,” the teacher
bad written in with evident good faith
the following reply: “ Education is
the Bull work of nations.”
W e Suggest
That, as it is possible that the office
of Tax Receiver of the county may
be vacated, through the withdrawal of
the bondsmen of the present incuin
bent, it could be well filled by the ap
pointment of Mat Sheiion, Esq., w ho
has previously discharged the func
tions of said office with credit to
himself and satisfaction to our citi
zens.

A Valuable luveation.
The Sat annah Advert is< r has wit
nessed the operation of a new step
fan, at the Ujqwr Steam River Mill,
the invention of Col, J. R. CiiKVßs,
and which is said to surpass anything
heretofore used for cleaning rice. It
is made in the form of slide steps,
and is attached to the rear of the fan,
by which meats the heavy grain falls
ffiim our stop .to the other, until it
reaches the bin placet! for its receii
tion. Simultaneously the grass seed
ami indigo is blown to the rear, thus
leaving nothing but the clear rice.
Heretofore, bj the use of flic old fan,
hunureds of bushels of rice became
almost valueless from the great inter
mixture of grass-seed and indigo,
which it was almost impossible to
keep from the clean rice.
As an indication of the labor and
money saved out of a lot of ten thou
sand bushels of crop rice, pounded
out a few days since, the loss was not
more than one bushel to the thousand.
Bankruptcy.
We publish the following, by re
quest. It is taken from the Era,
Atlanta:
The time for filing petitions in bankruptcy
will expire with tho present month. Gy an
amendment to the Bankrupt law, passed
July la.-i.tlie time for filing petitions was
extended to the 31st ot Dxeiuber.
No man who owes a debt that lie is really
unable to pay, should fad to avail himself of
the privilege’.
Many people who are proper subjects of
Bankruptcy are holding oft. and re'ying tt]xm
Relief and Homestead Laws for their protec
tion ; such persons are standing in their own
light. Bankruptcy is sure and certain relief.
Relief and Homestead exemptions are uncer
tain, and subject to so much litigation that
should a man finally succeed in obtaining
relief from embarrassment through their in
strumentality, it will very likdy cost him
more than Bankruptcy, " The Relief Law
passed by the last Legislature has already
been pronounced unconstitutional by every
Judge of tlic Superior Court of Georgia, be
fore whom the question Jias been made, with
perhaps one exception.
It is doubtful whether tire Homestead Ex
eniption provided for in i lie State Convention
will stand good again: t a debt contracted
prior to the adoption of that Constitution;
for it is a rule of law that “tho law of a con
tract is the law that exited at the time tho
•contract was made." 11 is almost certain that
it will not stand against judgment, mortgage,
or other legal lien existing prior to that time,
for it is also a rule of law that “a lien once
vested cannot be divested by subsequent leg
islation.” Bankruptcy is certain, relief to
every man who makes an honest surrender,
and is perhaps the cheapest mode of obtain
ing relief, whilethe effort to obtain relief from
State laws opens a wide field for expensive
litigation, and is, to say the least of it, very
uncertain as to its result. Then why should
the people delay ?
On mid after January Ist, parties wishing
to avail themselves of the benefit of the
law must be able to pay fifty cents on the dol
lar of what they owe. There is now no time
to be lost.
Select Your Poultry.
In view of the rapid approach of the
happy feast of Christmas, we give
a few points in regard to the selection
of jxiultry in general: A young tur
key has a smooth leg and soft bill, and
the eyes bright and the feet moist.
Old turkeys have scaly, stiff leet. Young
fowls have a tender skin, smooth
legs, and the breast bone yields
readily to the pressure of the finger.
The best are those that have yellow
legs. Tho feet and legs of the old
fowls look as if they had seen hard
service in the world. Young ducks
feel tender under the wing, and the
web is transparent. The best are
thick ami hard on the breast. Young
geese have yellow bills, and the feet
are yellow and supple ; the skin may
be easily broken by the head, of H pin;
the breast is plump and the fat white.
An old goose i« unfit for the human
stomach.
In regard to the best mode of fat
tening turkeys, we present the follow
ing experiment: Four turkeys were
cooped up and fed with meal, boiled
potatoes and oats; fotir others of the
same brood were treated in a’ similar
manner in another pen, but with a
pint daily of finely pulverized char
coal added to the food, and an abun
dant supply of the coal. All eight
were killed the same day, and those
fed with the charcoal were found to
weigh a pound and a half more than
the others, and to be of much better
quality.
Low Fare* on Railways.
Low fares on railways, according to
the English Quarterly herieir, have
always resulted in filling the treasu
ries of the companies. For the last
two years Belgium has been trying
the experiment of reduced rates, and
the success of the plan of cheapening
travel has had, it is asserted, great in
fluence upon the fares in other coun
tries of Europe. France, and espe
cially Prussia are mentioned as having
reduced the price of railway tickets
with beneficial effects. Let these facts
be taken into consideration by the
management of the great and impor
tant lines of trawl in Georgia. It is
true that in numerous instances in this
country the. cheap fare system has
been adopted, bub it was only as a
measure of competition with rival
lines. Let our railroad direction make
the experiment in a wider sphere, and
bring the matter to 'an absolute tost
in dollars and cents.

It is proposed to call a grand religious

Sunday for all, or dividing those wish

Advertising.
Some think it is of no use for them
to advertise; that they have been in
the place in business all their lives)
and everybody knows them. Such
people seem to forget to take into con
sideration that our country is increas
ing in population nearly 40 per cent,
every ten years, and no matter how
old the place may be, there arc con
stant changes taking place; some
move to other parts, and strangers fdl
their places. In this age of the world,
unless the name of adnisiness firm is
kept constantly before the public,
some new firms may start up, and, by
liberally advertising, in a very short
time take the place of the older ones,
and the latter rust out, aS it were,

Municipal Election.—An election
was held in this city yesterday for
Mayor and Aldermen, according to
the city. There is considerable di
versity of opinion as to the legality of
the election, before action is taken by
the Legislature. We understand the
Radical leaders here had determined
to hold the election and risk its legal
ity, but the Democrats didn’t feel dis
posed to be “left out in the cold,” and
determined to make the test them
selves. There were three candidates
in the field for Mayor—George D.
Johnson and A. W. Jones, Dem., and
Thomas W. Thurman, Republican.
Something more than 400 votes were
polled, Mr. Johnson receiving a major
ity of 32. The following are the Aider
men elected: G. J. Drake, T. J.
Brooks, N. ]». Drewry, J. JJ. King, G.
A. Cunningham, M. J. Patrick, G. B.

Bold and Daring Robbery.—We
have just heard partial particulars of
omj of the most dastardly robberies
ever committed in this country. JSo
far as wo have been able to learn, the
following are the particulars :
On Wednesday night last, at about
0 o’clock, the residence of Mr. R. C,
Searcy’, a highly esteemed citizen,
some four or five miles from this city,
was visited by three desperadoes—
two negroes and one white man, with
his face blacked—who called out the
old man, and demanded to know the
whereabouts of money, supposed to
be in his possession. Upon his refusal,
ho was shot by one of the negroes, a
pistol ball taking effect in his abdo
men, producing, it is believed, a mor
tal wound. The robbers then pro
ceeded to search the premises, suc
ceeding in finding and carrying oft’
some sixty dollars in money, and two
gold watches.
We are told that a niece of Mr.-
Searcy, who was present, was severely
choked in order to force her to dis
close, but pemintcDtly refused, arid
barely escaped with her life.
Mr. S. hjul disposed of property in
Griffin the day previous, and the ruf
fians apparently’ thought he had the
purchase money.
No clue has yet been discovered as
to the perpetrators of the outrage.
