Obsequies of the late Right Rev
erened Stephen Elliott. DU.
Bishop of Georgia.
The iiuuioilinlo taus* of the <lo»th of
this l imouU'il Prclato waalho rupture of
an import...! blo.al vossol noarthe heart.
Such, at least, Is the opinion of those
Post able to «ee, tint lor the strange
event.
The burial service upon his tvn.a.ns
wasperfortneJ in Savsmtah.it> the loii.-a
j ntf order. Just before eleven oVlock,
A. M., on Christmas Jar. thej were
taken from his late residence, proceeded
br tour Stirpliccd Priests, attended by
the appointed pall-bearers, consisting of
two clerical members of the Standing
Committee in surplice ami stoic, the
Wardens and Vestrymen o! Christ Church
and the wardens of St. John’s and St.
Paul’s Churches. Savannah, all on foot:
and followed by the immediate relatives
of the deceased in carriages.
At the entrance gate of Christ Church,
the body wss met by five Priests, who
went “before it into the Church,” the
Rev. 0. H. Coley, Assistant Minister of
Christ Church, saying : “ 1 am the re
aurrection, vie., etc.
The united choirs of Christ and St.
John's Churches, then sang very effec
tively the funeral anthem, “ Lurd,
let me know my end,” etc. The pro
per lesson having been read by the
Rev. Mr. Pinkerton, Rector of St. Paul’s
Church. Savannah, the words : “ I heard
a Voice,' etc., were sung to an appropriate
melody. Prayer was then offered by
the Rev. W. C. Williams, and the hymn.
“I would not live alway,” sung by choir
and congregation.
A procession was then fortnod to at
tend the remains to the Laurel Grove
Cemetery, the officiating clergy lead,
ing, the others ranged oil cither side, or
immediately behind the hearse, all on
foot, aud in surplice and stole. These
were followed by members of the
“Georgia Historical Society,” also on
foot, and a long line of carriages. As
it passed along the streets, the bells of
several churches were successively tolled,
aud the pavements filled with sympa
thizing spectators.
The Rev. Mr. Pinkerton repeated Iho
opening sentences, as the body was
finaliv borne to the grave ; and while it
was “made ready to be laid into the
earth," a number of male voices sung
the words, “Man that is born of a
woman, etc.”
The Rev. Mr. Mcßae, Rector of St.
John’s Church, Savannah, used the
“form of committal,” substituting for
“b-other" the words “venerated father
in God ” The Rev. Dr. Henderson said
the sentence, “I heard a Voice, etc.,”
and the Rev. Mr. Coley read the con
cluding prayers. After the work of j
interment was completed, the hymn j
‘'Rock of Ages” was sung, and the Rev.
Mr. Williams dismissed the sorrowing I
assemblage with the “Blessing of
Peace.” The solemnity of the closing
rites, and the hushed stillness of the vast |
multitude surrounding the grave, left an !
impression upon mind ami heart which
no one present i3 likely to forget.
It was a noteworthy incident, to all
who remember the life-long interest of
the late Bishop of Georgia in the welfare
of our black population, that ten colored
men, communicants ol St. Stephen’s
Church, Savannah, were allowed the
honor of lifting the heavy burial case,
whenever it became necessary to move
it from place to place, and thus testily
their sense of obligation to that faithful
friend and adviser, to whom, as a con
gregation, they owe 30 much.
Beginx'.no to She. —The Albany
Evening Journal, u strong Radical
paper, observing the dangerous, bead
long tendency of Mr. Stevens, in bis
leadership in the National Legislature
says with considerable force :
“There is a great and growing dan
ger that, in carrying forward the pro
cesses of reconstruction, a tendency
will be constantly exhibited to go fur
ther and faster than the condition- of
the country, or the sentiment of the
people, warrants. The electors of the
North have decided, and rightfully
decided, that the Governments of the
Southern States are not Republican in
form, and that they should be made
conformable to the Federal Constitu
tion. This is a state of facts resulting
from the condition ia which these com
munities were left by war, . and the
action contemplated is justifiable only
in view of the emergencies which were
created hy war, and the action contem
plated is justifiable oniy in view of the
emergencies which were created by war,
and the power that war conferred. Rut
in recognizing the existing prerogatives
of Congress, the people did not intend
to confer power upon it to remodel lhe
Government, reconstruct all the States
of the 1 j nion, or revolution!/.*: tin; sys
tem upon which it has thus far been
maintained. If Thud. Stevens nnrl his
followers thus interpret the decision of
the laio elections, it will not take them
long to discover that they have made a
supreme mistake.”
We agree with tlie Buffalo Connner
mercial Advertiser that it would have
Been wiser in the Journal, il it had
taken this moderate tone of policy
earlier in the day, Indore the men whom
it now condemns had grown into such
prominence ami influence in tiic party.
But we hail it now as ait able co
worker in the cause ol moderation,
conciliation, and prudence, for which
we have always earnestly labored.—

Municipal Election*.
I We have heretofore urged upon the
! City Council and the people, the pro
| priety of extending the term of -(lice ol
, the Mayor and Members of Council.
This policy, the City authorities hav”
it in their power now to inaugurate,
and we respectfully suggest that the
election Ordinuure be so amended us
to extend the term of office ol the Mayor
tt „d Council both. We know that this
idea, as well as that of an extension of
the term of officers under Council were
favorite ones with Mr. Gardiner, when
he held the office of Mayor, and they
wore to constitute a part of his official
1 [hi ict. We do not know how the present
Mayor vnd Members of Council stand
upon this question, but we can see no
reason why they should object to the
proposed plan. It will enable the Conn'
cil to carry out its policy more effectual
ly and successfully, aud will avoid the
cotruption of too frequent general
elections, and will always secure good
men for office.
Wo are well aware that the present
Mayor and Council tire men eminently
suited to the position ; and if they could
hold their offices lor a number of years
it would be well for the community.
But who can tell w hat changes may
take place ? what party contests may
arise? and what unfit men may take
their places? Let us, therefore put good
men in office aud,keep them there. The
present Mavor and Council, unfortu
nate] v for the good of the community,
cannot legislate themselves into power
j any longer than for their original term
|of office; but they can legislate lor
future elections, and we hope that they
j will not fail to do so. The Legislature
1 i Georgia has given them the authority
I in an act approved February 28th,
■ which is as follows :
AN ACT
j To authorize the City Council of Au
gusta to change, alter, equalize, or
create new Wards in said City, and to
change the mode and manner of the
Election of Mayor and Councilincn of
Augusta ; and also to change and in
crease the fees and salaries of any of
the officers in said Citv, and the terms
and times of their election.
Sec. I. The General Assembly of the,
State of Georyia do enact , That the
City Council of Augusta shall have
power, at any time, to create, change,
alter, and equalize the Wards in said
City, and to provide the mode, manner,
and time of elections of Mayor and
Members of the City Council thereof;
also, to change or increase the salaries
and lees of any of the officers of said
City, elected, or to be elected by said
| City Council, at their discretion, and to
fix by Ordinances the. terms aud times
of said officers’ election.
This is amply sufficient to enable them
to effect the necessary change, and it
should be effected. It lias been sug
gested to make the term of office four
years; and, on the other hand, to have
three terms —electing one third of the
Council every three years, which would
always keep some experienced members
in Council. Either one of these plans
would secure the desired object; and if
is to be hoped that one of them will be
adopted. They have been approved by
some of our most experienced and
thoughtful citizens, and, we are sure,
will be by the whole community, when
properly tested.
We need not elaborate the subject
any lurtlier. It is worthy of serious
consideration and adoption. The lolly
o! frequent elections has been fully de
inotist rated in our national affairs. Let
us drop them in our municipal affairs,
and try the more effectual system ol
long terms with efficient officers,

Professor Stratvinski.
Mr. Editor: Permit me, as an act of
simple justice to a courteous and de
serving gentleman, to refer briefly to the
dancing school of Prof. Strawinski,
which has for some weeks been in pro
gress at Masonic Hall. 1 have been au
observer and a patron of dancing schools
in the city for several years, and greatly
prefer Prof. Strawinski’s style and mode
ot teaching to any that I have ever
seen. Ilis great aim is to dcvelope the
form and cultivate the manners, rather
i ban to teach mere fancy dances of
questionable character and tendency’
He is himself a gentleman of culture,
haviug been bred in tbe best circles of
Hungary in her better days, anti is so
pleasant and winning in his manners as
at once to secure the interest and regard
ot his pupils. His school, I believe,
ta > recess until after tbe holidays,
when anew term will open, and all who
wish to take a course of lessons in this
polite accomplishment should avail
themselves of the opportunity. *
Thuth wii.i. Out.—Once upon a time
a nobleman gave a great supper. While
the guests were at the table, two maskers
came into the hall, who were no larger
than children of five or six years old ;
one personated a lord, the other a lady.
Their dress was as splendid as could be,
and they danced very skillfully, to the
great diversion of the guests. Every
body said they could not admire the
dexterity of those polite children enough.
Then an old officer took au apple and
threw it between the dancing couple
Suddenly the lord and lady rushed after
the apple as though frantic. In the
•struggle they tore off' each other's
masks, and behold 1 instead of children
a couple of monkeys. All the company
at the tabic laughed heartily, hut the old
officer said very gravely : “Monkeys and
tools may dress themselves splendidly,
Init the day soon comes when it is known
who they are.”
Gifts von Education.— ln a single
issue ot one ol our exchanges we note
a donation to New York University of
t? 100, bull ", to Harvard I uiversity ol
$ I .'>0,000; and to Yale Oullege of
*IOO,OOI) —a total of $400,000. ts the
sons of the Puritans tire cute in their
devices for making money, it cannot he
denied that their munificent eoutribu
lions to public charities of every kind
are worthy of imitation.
Shopping.
It ia a mistaken notion to suppose
that ladies always go “shopping” for
the pur|Hwe of making purchases. Plea
sure, amusement, exercise, needed alike
for their physical good and their mental
comfort—the desire to see uud be seen,
to gossip a little with their female
friends, and to chat with the “handsome
voting gentleman behind the counter’ —
not unfrequently take them on a round
of shopping.
Let us look into one of our dry goods
houses on a bright pleasant morning.
Every thing looks neat and inviting.
The goods on the shelves are systemati
ealiv arranged, counters well dusted,
show cases and windows tastefully deco
rated with glittering finery and dazzling
with radiant colors. The “knight of the
yardstick” has just stepped in from
breakfast. Look at the tout ensemble.
“made up regardless of expense,” of the
gentleman whose business it is to wrap
up pins and needles, nud measure off
cambric and calico, for angels in crino
line. Ilia coat is the very “latest style, ’
bis linen faultless, his neck-tie perfect,
boots polished tike a mirror, every hair
on his head in its right place, the ends
of his carefully brushed and well oiled
moustache stand out at the proper angle,
and from “top to toe” he is the btau
ideal of a dry goods salesman.
A lady enters; with Chesterlieldian
politeness and grace he salutes her and
awaits her orders. An article is called
for and quickly transferred to the coun
ter, but before a word can bn said in
praise of its beauty and cheapness,
another, aud still another, and now
three or four together, until the house is
alive with tillers and waterfalls, and the
salesman's ears are greeted with calls
for a dozen articles at once and the
same time. Soon the shelves are bare,
and the counter piled with silks and
satins, laces and lawns, borages, and
bobbinels, muslins, poplins, cballies,
cambrics, calicoes, corsets, hoop skirts,
kerchiefs, slippers, halmorals, cuffs.
I collars, and a score of other articles
i needed or used lor feminine adornment.
And now, amid a chattering equaled
only by that of an aviary, begins tbe
work of inspection. Each article is
examined—some hastily, others close!v.
This is too common, that too dear ; this
rather light, that a shade too dark ; this
io i gay, that too sombre. “Mr. Smith,”
says one, “offered me this very article
at five cents less in the yard “and
Mr. Brown,” says another, “has a piece
of this goods much prettier and cheap
erand so they go on, pulling aud
hauling at this and that thing, praising
one, finding fault with another, passing
judgment upon all. A few purchases
are made—a paper of pins, a bunch of
tape, a yard or two of ribbon, and one
by one, or in a body, as if moved by a
common impulse, tbe “dear creatures’’
turn from the counter, and with a slight
nod of the head and a short “good morn
ing,” vanish out of the door.
What a change comes over our sales
man now ! There is a dark frown upon
his face, and naughty words issue fr,,m
those lips so lately wreathed with plea
sant smiles. He casts a hasty glance at
the contents of the drawer increased by
the addition of a few dilapidated frac
tional notes, proceeds to refold his goods
and restore them to their places, to be
again overhauled bv the next comers,
and as he works he growls and grumbles,
and mutters something about “trouble
for nothing," “women hard to please,"
and so on.
Aittkm us Wai.d's Threshing Ma
chine—My wife’s a exceedingly prac
tyeal woman. I luv her muchly, how
ever, and humor her little ways. Its a
reeklis falsehood that she hen-peeks me,
and the young man in our naborhood
who said to me as 1 was distendin my
distrain with a gentle cocktail at the
village tavern—-who snid to me in these
very langwidge, “Go home, old man
onless you want another teapot throwd
at you by B. J.,” probably regrets hevin
said ii. I said, “ Betsy Jane is my
wife's front name, gentle youth, and I
permits no person to allood to her as B.
J. outside ol the family circle, of which
lam it principally myself. Your other
observations I scorn and disgust, and I
must polish you off” He was a able
bodied young man, and, removin' his
coat, lie inquired if I wanted to be
ground to powder? I said yes, if there
was a powder grindist handy, nothin
would ’ford nte greater pleasure, when
he struck ine a painful blow into my
right eye, eattsirt me to make a rapid
retreat into the fire-place. I hadn't no
idea that the enemy was so well organ
ized. But I rallied and went for him in
a rather wigris style for my time of life.
His parents lived near by, and I will
simply state that fifteen minutes had
only elapsed after tlie first hit, when he
was carried home on a shutter. His
mamma met the solemn procession at
the door, and after kcerfully looking her
oft'-pring over, she said, “My son, f see
how it is distinetually. You’ve been
foolin around a thrashin machine. You
went in at the place where they put the
grain into the thingamyjig nud let the
horses tread on you, didn’t you, my
Son?’ The pen of no living orthtir
could describe that disfortuuit young
man’s sitiwation more clearer. But I
was sorry for him, aud I went aud
missed him till he got well. His reg’lar
original father Imd been sent to the war.
1 told him I'd he a father to him myself.
He smilt a sickly smile, and said I'd
already been wuss than two fathers to
him.

Wilms, horn in the year of 17f>8, so
that lie had attained his one hundred

period of life he was without any of the

and took long walks up to the last, week
of his life.
Freedmen Emigrating
Almost every paper wo take up eon
tains some reference to the "emigration
of freedmen to Elorida or the West,
i his results in part from the disappoint
ment of the tree I people at the results
of the last year’s labor, but chiefly from
the ability of the owners of the fresh
lands of those localities, to pay more
than those who lid our thin soil think
they can afford. We regard this drain
upon our industrial resources a great
misfortune. The amount of labor is
entirely inadequate to the proper culti
vation of the soil, and development ot
our mining and manufacturing resour
ces, and every laborer we lose is an
actual drain upon our productive capac
ity. We should, therefore, be tolerant
of the caprices of the freed people, and
not ullow tln-ir temporary discontent to
render us indifferent to their retention
among us. They are the best laborers
available, and under rational control,
are, we believe, better suited to our sun
and soil than any on earth We, there
fore hope, that our planters will look
well to the future, and determine whether
they can best afford to increase the
wages of their laborers, and thus retain
them, or allow the present tide of emi
gration to go on, which must inevitably
render labor scarce and thus increase
its cost. The discouragements ot the
past, great and depressing as they have
been, may yet be overcome, it we car.
get a stable Government and a good
crop year.

STILL TRIUMPHANT !
A ND AFTER A THOROUGH TRIAL
YV by innumerable living witnesses, has
proved itself to be
THE MEDICINE OF TIIE AGE.
Although there have been many medici
nal preparations brought before tho public
since the first introduction of Perry Davis’
Vegetable Pain Killer, and large amounts
-xnonded in their introduction, the Pain
Killer has continued steadily to advance in
the estimation of the world as tho best
family medicine ever introduced. As an
internal and external remedy, it is truly a
source of
Joy to the World!
One positive proof of its efficacy is, that
the sales have constantly increased, and
upon its own merits, as tho proprietor* have
not resorted to advertising to gain for it the
rank it now holds among tho great number
of preparations of the present time. The
ftfleet-of tho l*ain Killer upon tho patient,
when taken internally in cases of Colds,
Cough*, Bowel Complaint*, Choloin, Dys
entery, and other affection* of the system,
has been truly wonderful, and ha* won for
it a name medicinal preparations
that can never he forgotten. It* success in
removing pains, as an external remedy, in
case* of Burns. Bruise*, sores, Sprain*,
Cuts, Stings of insects, and other cause* of
suffering, has secured for it such a host of
testimony, u* an almost infallible remedy,
that it will he banded down to posterity as
one of the greatest medical discoveries of
the nineteenth century. The magical ef
fect* of* the Pain Killer, when taken or used
according to direction*, aro certain. You
have only to bo si ro that you buy the
genuine article and adhere to the direction*
in its use, and you will arm it it* wonderful
medicinal properties.
The genuine Perry Davis’ Pain Killer is
now put up in panel botGes, w ith the words
Davi-*’ Vegetable Pain Killer blown in the
glass ; and with two steel engraved label*
on each bottle—one «n excellent likeness of
Perry Davis, the original inventor of the
medicine, the other a steel engraved note ot
hand. None other* ’.in he relict! upon as
genuine. Price* bot'leg 12$ cent?, 26
cents, 60 cents, an 1 sl. respectively.

PERRY DAVIS PAINKILLER. Thou

do so, would cheerfully testify that they
have used it for various ills, with the mo«t
satisfactory success. It is within our own

prietors, Messrs. Perry Davis A Son, save
no pains or expense in e rder to satisfy the

observe the utmost uniformity in the man

The materials of which it is c* mpnsed are
carefully selected—none but the best quality
being used. l!y these means the high repu
tation which the Pain Killer has long since
acquired is, at all times, triumphantly sus
tained. In view of these facts, we are by
ill) moans surprised to learn that Messrs
Davis A Son’s sales are constantly and
rapidly increasing. While we congratulate
our friends generally that so valuable
preparation as the Pain Killer is placed
within their reach, we must be permitted to
rejoice at the well-merited success of it
liberal and enterprising proprietor.— /’

TESTIMONY OF RECOMMENDATIONS
From Medical gentlemen. Professors of the
highest Opthnimic talent in Augusta, Ga., and
in the Union :
Atgcsta, Ga., December Sth, 18flti.
I have examined the Glasses of Dr. Bern
| hnrdt, and find them of good quality. ilia
testimonials are very numerous and exceed
ingly flattering. L. A. DUGAS, M. D.
At GtSTZ, Ga., Dec 7, 1865.
I do most willingly bear my tes'.inmiyin
! favor of the superiority of the Australian
; Crystal—single and double vision spectacles—
| over all other kinds. T hey are constructed
| upon the best established and understood prin
ciples of optics, and their ada) tatiun to the
hu oan eye in its different conditions of vision
: is so perfect, as to render sight easy without
I effort. In my opinion, none others should he
us-cd. since t lie eves once used to th use do not
Seem to grow old, and by having a f„cus at
any point of the surface, they appear to re
si-.re the eyes to their youthful energy.
LEWIS D. FORD, M. I).
AT'GtTsTA, Ga. Dec. 7. ISS6.
I have examined a great variety of Glasses
manufactured by Professor M. Bernhardt, and
in justice to the Professor, must sav thal his
Glasses are of a superior quality, adapted to
meet the wants of atmust every eye, where tho
vision is in any- way imperfect. The Professor
selected for me a pair of his Australian Crystal
Glasses, which are of a very superior quality
and workmanship, rendering vision very dis
tinct, alines Perfect as in youth. I yield
this lose ■ favor of the Professor’s
Glasses mos; tvo u'.iy.
C. C.' PRITCHARD, M. D.
Aggi sta, Ga., Dec. 7, 1856.
I very cordially recommend Prof. M. Bern
hard; tv who may require Glasses.
DbSAUSsUKK ford, m. and.
Avgistv, Ga., Dec. 7. 1866.
We have examined the Lenses of Professor
Bernhardt, and Consider them superior to any
we have seen. They are admirably adapted not
only to improve the imperfections of impaired
sight, but to relievo the weariness of vision
which constant study produces. Many of the
Glasses are of new and ingenious contrivance.
We cordially recommend the Professor to all
those who require scientific optical assistance.

WM. 11. CLARKE,
GREGORY DUGGAN.
ArcrsTA, Ga., Dec. S, 1866.
I have examined the Glasses of Dr. M.
Bernhardt, of Europe, and havo tried them.
They are very remarkable for their beauty of
workmanship, and for their power to assist the
vision. Dr. M. Bernhardt has made Optics
the study of hts life, and is evidently most
thoroughly acquainted with the science.
Hois a native of Berlin, Prussia, and has
studied there, but has for several years been a
resident ot New \ork. The diseased and aged
will find great relief from ihe use of his Glasses.
I have seen t timorous testimonial* n> the ex
t ellcnco o’ his Glasses, and to his skill as an
< ptician, and I would recommend him to all
chose vision is impaired either through age or
and sease. JOSEPH R. WILSON,
Pastor First Presbyterian Church.
Savannah. Ga., Nov. 29, 1866.
I hereby certify that Mr*. Davenport ha*
been affected with Amorousi? lor shout two

2d of November last, according to my own
advice, sho placed herself under the charge of
Dr. M. Bernhardt. Her visi -r. has rapidly
improved »>he can now lead small print
with or without glasses.
