190 IJroad and 153 Ellis street.
Pughe’s Augusta Directory is now
ready, and can be had of all Booksellers
in the City, and at this office.
J. A. Signaigo.— This genial gentle
man and versatile journalist—for many
years connected with the Memphis
press—is stopping for a few days in
this city. He was water bound for sev
eral days in Chattanooga, and we are
indebted to him for the particulars of
the flood in that section, which appears
in another column. We should bear
the affliction of a small deluge with re
signation, if it secured to us a few days
of his agreeable company. Still we will
not wish that he may be beset by the
perils which attended his stay in Chat
tanooga.
Ths Mayor’s Election.— This is a
topic of absorbing interest in the city at
this time, and all parties appear to be
actuated by a desire to unite upon some
candidate who will be acceptable to all
and who will possess the capac
ity to administer the affairs of the city
successfully.
We understand that a caucus, or se
lect meeting of conference was to be
held last night, at the Central Hotel, to
take the subject into consideration and
endeavor to harmonise conflicting in
terests and preferences. We regret
that this plan was adopted. We do not
regard it the best method of securing
harmony, which is so important in tile
present crisis. The days of caucnsses
have past. They are too suggestive of
the old political issues of the days when
a few men marked out the policy, and
selected the leaders for a party; or
rather, when a few leaders thus concen
trated the support of the party. The
issue presented iu the Mayor’s election
is too grave to be controlled by personal
considerations. The man should be
selected who, possessing the requisite
qualifications, is the manifest choice of
the community. It seems to us that
the proper mode of securing expression
to that ehoiee, would have been to call
a public meeting and invite the friends
of all candidates to participate on a per
fectly equal footing, with the distinct
understanding that the choice indicated
by the meeting should be supported by
all parties. No other course will secure
the harmony which all seem so much to
desire, and which is so important under
the circumstances. On this subject we
admit a communication from a respon
sible merchant, of long standing, which,
though containing some expressions
that we do not approve, is indicative of
the wish of a large portion of our com
munity and worthy of consideration.
SofTHKRN Press AssoctATiox.—The
next annual meeting of this Association
will be held at Atlanta on the third Wed
nesday in April next, fnr the election of
officers (or the ensuing year, and for
the purpose of consultation in reference
to the improvement of telegraphic facili
ties, and the organization of an inde
pendent association, with reciprocal he-,
lations between the New York and
Western Associations. The opportunity
now appears most iavwable for im
proving the character ol our telegraphic
arrangements, and probably diminish
mg their cost, and, therefore, every
da.ly paper south of the Potomac should
be represented in this Convention
In addition to the business interests
ot ths press, the grave political iaauts
now presented for our consideration
invoke a spirit of harmony, and render
a free and fraternal interchange of
opinions eminently desirable.

A Legal Tender.—A proposition
has gained favor iu Virginia to make
produce a legal tender.— Exchange.
Snch a measure wouldn’t help us
much down this way, for produce is
about as scarce as greenbacks.
Conciliatory .—The House of Com
mons, by large majorities, has decided
to open up the highest judicial office—
that of Lord Chancellor—in both Eng
land and Ireland, to members of the
Roman Catholic faith. Catholics, by
the same measure, are declared eligible
for the post of Lord Lieutenant of
Ireland. And another liberating bill
opens up the professorships in Dublin
University, and abolishes their secta
rian character. Now, this sort of
liberalizing work should not stop here.
It should go on till the State Chnrch
in Ireland is left to stand on its own
legs—on till non-resident Irish land
lords are taught that their tenants have
rights which the law recognizes. Some
more vigorous and sound legislation
of that sort would far sooner make an
end of Fenianism than playing hide*
aud-seek with small bauds of Fenian
peasants in the mountains of Kerry.
