We were not supplied with a programme, and cannot speak of the different pieces. We ;h relore say, that we have never been i more pleased hi the execution of Tab leaux than on this occasion. Miss Sands sung “You Naughty, Naughty Men,’ which was received with enthusiasm by the audience. Oth er i iee-es were sung by young ladies, whose names we did not ascertain. A Ikms and Hutchings were on hand to keep up the funny corner, which we itre justified in saying was no failure. These two gentlemen are always tin to time, and never fail to instruct their audiences, or cause the long faced to indulge in a hearty laugh. , Upon the whole the performance was good all the way through, and reflected credit upon all who were engaged.

Fall Term of the Superior Court. —The Fall term of the Superior Court of this county, is now in session. His Honor, judge Milner, on the Bench, and the usual number of the legal fra ternity present. The dockets are heavy and litigated, and the business of the court rapidly increasing. Ex-Gover nor Brown addressed the people, on the condition of the country, during 12 o'clock recess of court, last Wednesday. We did not hear his address, but those who did, represent it as an able and well-timed address, delivered in alto gether a different spirit from what was expected by many of his hearers. His advice to the freedmen was wholesome, and we trust, will be heeded by them. Gov. Ilelm, of Kentucky, is dead. He had but recently been elected chief magistrate of that State.

At the earnest solic i ations of many friends > both white and colored, I have consented to present my name as a candidate for Congress, to represent the Seventh Congressional Dis trict of Georgia in the great council of the na tion at Washington City ; believing, as I do, that the large number of recently enfranchised citizens of color in the United States should have a voice in the same. I claim the suffra ges of my race and their fiends, in the forth coming election, as a matter of justice and j light, and trust that they will accord to me no impure motive in seeking this high and re sponsible position. lam induced to offer my self a candidate for the amelioration and exal tation ofiny race and color to position and power with their white compeers who have so magnanimously broken from us, as a people, the shackles of bondage and slavery. I was born a slave, and am acquainted with all the changes and incic ent3 consequent to the life of an African slave; though my lines have fallen to me in comparatively pleasant j places, my old masters having all been endow ed with feelings of humanity and considera tion towards their servants. lam now in my f>Bth year, and during my time of sevitude, (my freedom was con.-nminatcd by the result ofthe late war.) I was faithful and obedienit to their requirements, and entertain no ill will towards them now while lam free. I only ask of them now what I granted them when a bondsman —their countenance and support. It will be expected of me that I define my position upon the great questions that row agitate the public mind, which I will proceed to do in as brief way as possible, as foilows : lstly. I am in favor of revoking the tax on Cotton, Whiskey and Tobacco, the three great commodities of trade in the land. 2nly. I am in favor ol the equality of races. 3rdly. I am in favor of the Kentucky Reso lutions of ’9S, 4thly. lam in favor of the liberty of the press and speech. 6tldy and lastly. lam in favor of a repub lican form of government; ofthe Constitution of the United States and the Laws under it, and desire that it shall be handed down to eur posterity unimpaired. These arc the principles upon which I pro pose to stand or fall in the coming election, and I appeal to all good people, irrespective of color or condition to stand by me in sustaining the above principles. Very respectful’y, Your ob’t serv't, FRANKLIN HAYNES. Allatoona, Ga., Sept. 12th, 1867. New way of Conducting a Law Suit. — Judge R relates the follow ing incident as occurring in his prac. tiee : lie was try ing a petty case, in which one of the parties was not able to pay counsel fees, and undertook to plead his own cause. But he found, in the course of the trial, that the keen and adroit attorney who managed the case (or the other party was too much for him in legal strategy, evidently making the worse appear the better cause. — The poor man, Mr. A , was in a state of mind bordering on desperation, when the opposing counsel closed his plea, and the case was about to be sub mitted to the jury for decision. “May it please your honor,” said the man, “may I pray ?” The judge was taken somewhat by surprise, and could only say that he j saw no objection. Whereupon Mr. A. went down on his knees and made a fervent prayer, in which he laid the merits ofthe case before the Lord in a very clear and methodical statement of all the particulars, pleading that right and justice might prevail. “O Lord; thou knowest this lawyer has misrep resented the lacts. and thou knowest it is so and so”—to the end of the chap ter. Arguments which he could not present in a logical array to the understanding of men, he had no difficulty in addressing to the Lord, being evidently better versed in prayer than pettifogging. When he rose from his knees. Esquire W—, the opposing counsel, very much exasperated by the turn which affairs had taken, said : “Mr. Justice, does not the closing argument belong to me 7” To which the judge replied : “You can close with prayer, if you please.” Esquire W. was in the’ habit ol praying at home, but not seeing the propriety of connecting his prayer with his practice, wisely forebore, leaving | poor Mr. A. to win the case, as he did, by his novel mode of presenting it. . California rolls up a considerable majority for the Democracy. The i Governor, nearly ail the Legislature, and two members of Congress have 1 been elected. Hard to Comprctieiid. Judge G , of Georgia, was very Democratic, both in politics and relis gion, and especially so in the latter. Several years ago he was in attendance on the Superior Court. l’he Presby terians of the place, headed by their zealous and energetic minister, were at that time actively engaged in an effort to build anew house ot worship. The Rev. Mr. Collins was zealously iniisted in the good cause, and never let an opportunity slip without presenting his subscription list to all whom he might meet. Oneday. when court adjourned, as the Judge was passing out of the court house, the reverend gentlemen touched him on the shoulder and asked him to step aside a moment, when the following colloquy took place : “ This is Judge G , I believe?”’ said Mr. Collins. “ft is,” said the judge. “We are engaged,” said Mr. C., “in endeavoring to build us anew house of worship. Perhaps this (handing the judge his subscription list) will inform you ol inv object better than l can till you.” Here the judge looked very profes sional. took oui his spectacles examin ed the heading of the list very carefully, and for a moment seemed to be engaged in profound thought; then turning to the expectant parson, the judge, with a slv twinkle of the eye and the blandest smile imaginable, remarked : “That will bind them, sir—that will bind them ; no doubt about it—that will: bind them.” This took the reverend gentleman a little aback. But rallying again he renewed the attack in the following style : “But, judge, you don’t understand me ; I want you to help us. We are going to raise—” “Ah!” said the Judge, “you are going to have a raising, are you ? Well, just let me know when it is and I will send up three or four hands with pleasure.” Here Mr. C.’s countenance exhibited a good deal of disgust, and he appeared to be perfectly bewildered at what seemed to Ae the judge’s stupidity. “Why,” said he, “judge it is a brick house we want.” “A brick house, is it?” said the judge, “a brick house? Won’t a log house do as well ? Several years ago we built a brick house in our commu nity for religious purposes—some cut the logs, some hewed them, some split the boards, some raised the house, and some covered it, and the Lord has never made any complaint against it yet. If you build a log house and the Lord complains, I’ll head your subscription list for a brick one.” 'i'he parson gave in and left. What is the Cause of all the Rain? —The sun has a period in about ten years when he is free from spots. The greatest numbers were seen about the year 1842, 1852 and 18G2; the least number, or none, in 1847, 1857 and 18G7. Some five or six years ago, when we had a rainy spring, some would be philosophers explained it by the great number of sunspots, which di miuisht and the usual heat radiating from his surface ; but now the same philoso phers say that by its present freedom from spots, and consequent gathering heat, an unusual quantity of water is e vaporat-ed, and of course has to come down in rain. They have, indeed, a handy rule which works both ways but they forget that it is not everywhere that the same excess of rain is but on the contrary, in tiie northwest at the present time there is not enough ol it. and we get the share rightly belong ing to them. It is pretty well estab lished that the heat which the whole earth receives from the sun is nearly a like every year spots or no spots or no spots; that the total quantity of water evaporates from the ocean, which oc cupies three-fourths of the surface of the earth, is also alike, and the amount of rain falling over the whole surface is consequently also the same. Every region of the earth’s surface Mas its yearly share ol this rain, which, how ever differs widely for different climates. Removal from Office. --Maj. J. A. Blance, Solicitor General of the Talla poosa Circuit, has been removed by Gm. Pope, and Bigby, ofNewnan. appointed in his stead. Maj. Blance has made an able ard efficient officer, and has gained the high esteem of the people ot th is circuit. He says he is proud to feel that he gained his office without sycopharcy, and lost it without crime.— Rome Cou rier, The Rome Courier says that there are three hundred and seventy-three white men paying poll tax in the Rome dis trict, and only two hundred and fifty six of them can vote under the regis tration ; and that only one hundren and sixtyone negroes have given in poll tax, while three hundred and forty-two voters are registered of that class. number one miller, v/ho has been thrown out of employment by the burning of the Magnolia Steam Grist Mills, of this place, wants employment again.
