The first step townrd a popular de* pot Min would lw the v.uldisUiin-ht of s oerpstuki cV»o_-re*». h veniJ five that 1 body a power that could scarcely have a limit, and the Executive and Judiciary, Departments would become mere pup pets in the hands of the Connies*. The wisdom of the Father* of the Republic in dividing the functions of tiovernment into throe Departments, is apparent to all who will exumine the subject. This division was iutundod to establish a set of checks and balances that would secure justice to all sections of the Union, and to all classes of the people. As long as these several branches semained true to the Constitu tion and to the ancient landmarks, there was no danger to the liburtjqa ot the people or to the integrity of the Union ; but, unfortunately, as we have asserted heretofore, the tendency of Republican ism is greatly toward auarchv and des potism. and we now find the popular Department of the Government—Con gress—overriding the Constitution, and acting at variance with the Executive Department. Backed by the votes of the people of the North, that body seems disposed to grasp at still greater power, and to take for itself a lease in perpetuity. Fortu nately, however, the proposition does not appear to meet with general favor, and it is not likely that it will be adopted lor the present, at least. It is to be hoped that calmer councils will prevail, and Radicalism cease to be as radically Radical as it has been. Georgia Legislature. Miu.edgkvu.i.e, Dec. G, 1866. SENATE.

Home After Business.—The road along which the man of business travels in pursuit of competence or wealth is not a macadamized one, or does it ordi nary lead through pleasanrsccnes and by well-springs of delight. the con trary, it is a rough and rugged path, beset with “wait-a bit” thorns, and full of pitfalls whica can be avoided by the watchful care of circumspection. After every day's journey over this worse than rough turnpike road, the wayfarer needs something more than the rest; he re quires solace and he deserves it. He is weary of the dull prose of life, and a thirst for the poetry. Happy is the bus. iness man who can find that solace and that poetry at home. Warm greetings from loving hearts, fond glances from bright eyes, the welcome shouts of chil dren, the many thousand arrangements for our comfort and enjoyment that si lently tell of thoughtful and expectant love, the gentle ministrations that disen cumber us into an old and easy seat be fore we are aware of it; these and like tokens of affection and sympathy consti tute the poetry which reconciles us to the prose of life. Think of this, ye wives and daughters of business tnen 1 Think of the toils and anxieties and mortifica tions and wear that fathers undergo to secure for you a comfortable home, and Compensate them for the trials by milking them happy by their own fire sides. Curious Behavior of a Portland Girl.—A beautiful young lady of Port land (exposed iu a letter to the Boston Herald ) frequently, during the past year, has been in the habit of getting herself up as an aged man, and coming to town on the cars. In her disguise she would stroll about the city to her heart’s con tent, and return home to tell the few friends iu the secret, of the fun she had enjoyed. If spoken to, she feigned deaf ness. The veucrable form had become quite familiar in the streets of Portland; but none dreamed that beneath those green goggles sparkled a pair of roguish eyes. But the romantic young heroine came to grief. Protracting her strolls the other day, the train was leaving the statiju just as she limped into the de pot. A smart run enabled the foolish girl to throw herself upon the rear plat form, hut just as she did so, away went hat, wig, and goggles. Two gentlemen on the rear platform were considerably astonished, but the young lady had suf ficient presence of mind to explain, in a few frightened sentences, the pusitiou of affairs, and, it being nightfall, the gen tb men, who proved to be the genuine article, got the girl to her home without further publicity. Tilt t xxsus.—We observe that the census e fU nlgomery, and other South ern cities, nave lately been taken. The following is the Montgomery result : Whites- Male*, 2,911, females, 2,615 total whites, 5,526. Colored—-males, 3 181, leroak-s, 4,355 —total colored, 7 536. Total population, 13,062. Would it not he well to have a correct statement of the inhabitant* of Augusta made out'/ It bus been a longtime since the bkciiau attempted here. Hon- Win- Gibson. It will be teen by the following l«U*r that Judge Win. Gibson has i« the esc of his name as a candidate Ibr the Judgeship of tbe Middle Circuit. Richmond cottnfy being the principal county in the Circuit, it is desired, by the Bar here, that the Judgo nhouU reside in or near Augusta; Judge Gib son meets this requirement, being a resident of this City. lie has had no little experience in judicial affairs, and will meet with a warm support from those who served with him in the army. The following is his letter: 7b the Voters of the Middle Judicial Circuit. In consenting to become a candidate W the Judgeship ot the Middle Circuit, 1 do uol intend to canvass lor an elec tion. W'ere I assured of the propriety of such a course, neither time nor means would permit me to adopt it. The past ten years of my life have been almost exclusively devoted to ihe service of the State. This service has been in both military and civil life- —-in the legislative hulls and on the battle field—in war and in peace. I have always endeavored to discharge my duty faithfully, honestly, honorably. What ever I have accomplished, 1 have been made to feel that it has not advanced my pecuniary interests. 1 desire to abandon tho field of politics, and sin cerely trust that the tocsin of war will never again be souuded, at least in our day aud generation. 1 wish to pass the remainder of my lile engaged exclu sively iu tho duties of that profession to which I have been attached from youth. Age, physical condition, and considera tion for the interests of iny family, de mand it of me; but I shall ever feel proudly grateful to the generous and noble people who have so often honored me with their confidence aud support. It is not without diffidence aud dig trust that I have submitted my name as a candid te for the Judgeship of the Superior Court of this Circuit, Pure and impartial justice, and a firm admin istration of the laws, demands the high est qualities of the head and heart. 1 can only promise an honest and constant endeavor to discharge faithfully the duties ot the office, and so preserve the sanctity and dignity of the position so long, so Well, and so worthily filled by the late lamented Judge Holt—the mode! Judge. Relying upon the active and generous support which the brave soldiers residing within the Circuit have ever given me, and upon that confidence with which the people have so often honored uic, I trust to your active sympathies for sup port, at the election on Wednesday, the 2d day of January next. Your fellow-citizen, Wm. Gtnsox. Augusta, December 8, iB6O. Congressional Election in the Seventh District. —No definite con clusion lias as yet been arrived at relative to the election in the Seventh District. Thus far the vote foot; up : liambletor: 664 : Calhoun 593; Prin tup 567 ; Little 638. Since the above was in type, we have received the Rome Courier of the 6th, which contains the following: *‘We learn through a friend at Cal houn (Colonel Little’s residence), that the returns he has received up to the 4th instant, foot up as follows : I.itllo -. SSU JlaniLlcion *1 tl 7 Priutup 567 “The writer had heard from all the counties except Chattooga and the out side precincts of Cherokee and Walker. He states that Little received nearly the entire vote of Dade, Whitfield, Catoosa, Murray, Walker, and Gordon. ‘‘The |iolls were not opened at King ston, Cartersville, nor- Allatoona. and probably no other place in Bartow county. ‘‘The vote of Chattooga gives Little 17 plurality above Hambleton.” Shootino Akkra v.—The Atlanta Era reports, that on Wednesday night last three men, Tippin, Harcrow, and Mor row, stopped at the house of a Mr. Morris,, at Buckhead, on the Georgia Railroad, to spend the night. They had been in the house but a short time, when a party of eight men surrounded it lor the purpose of securing the three— the latter having committed some mis demeanor in a neighboring locality. Finding they were surrounded, Harcrow went to the door and commenced firing upon the outsiders, who immediately returned the fire, killing ITurcrow, seven bulls passing through his body. Mr. Morris, in attempting to close the door while the firing was goiug on, received an accidental but fatal shot from Ilar etow’s pistol. He died in a very few minutes, llis son was also wounded, but it is believed not mortally. The other two men were then captured, and bound, and carried. Boys Using Tohacco.— It is said that there are no boys now, but the following strong, sensible, good, sharp saying is designed for that portion of the i/enus homo, known as “ Young America,” who use tobacco: “it has utterly spoiled and utterly ruined thousands of boys. It tends to soltening aud weakening ol the bones, and it greatly injures the brain, the spinal marrow and the whole nervous fluid. A hoy who smokos early and frequently, or in any way uses large quantities of tobacco, is never known to make a man of much energy, and gen erally lacks muscular and physical, as well as mental, power. We would par ticularly warn boys, who want to be anything in the world, to shun tobacco as a most baneful poison.” Dividends.—The Augusta and .Sa vannah Railroad management has de clared a Dividend of three dollars thirty three and one third per cent, on each share, payable on demand at the Central Railroad Bank, in Savannah. The United States tax will bo paid by tho Company. A dividend of five dollars per share on the capital stock ol tho Central Railroad and Banking Company has been declared by Ihe Directors Irotu the earning* of the Road for the year end. ing 30th ult., payable on and after the 20th iust., iu United States currency. The Government tax will be paid by this Company. —Charleston Courier. Special Notices. ATTENTION, GAZELLE F. K, A 11. 00. NO.
