Dear Buia— Prompted by gratltudo, 1
take pleasure iu testifying to the great vir
tue of your medicine—the “ Eurkk a." For
year* pant, my wife lias been a great suffer©!
from Neuralgia in the head, neck, and
shoulders, experiencing no permanent lam
ent from tlie most skilful and experienced
medical attention. Since last December
(during which time we have resided at this
place), she lias scarcely escaped three days
consecutively, until site began taking the
“ Eureka," about two months since. In
those two months, she has only felt slight
symptoms, three times, and now considers
herself PERMANENTLY CURED, though
the ha* taken but tu» Bottle*/ The benefit
she has derived cannot be computed in
money, and I do not hesitate to recommend
tlie “ Eureka” to all who are suffering in
like manner. Very rcspcctftilly,

A Wonderful Cure. —Mr. W. H. Blan
ton, of Harris county, Georgia, writes un
der date of the 16th instant, to Messrs,
Pemberton, Taylor & Cos., of this city,
detailing the wonderful care of bis daughter
by the Compound Extrnet stillingia, pre
pared by this firm. He writes :
“My daughter was taken on the 25th of
Juno, 1863, with what was supposed to be
acute rheumatism, and she was treated for
the same with no success. In March fol
lowing, pieces of bone began coming out
of the right arm, and continued to come
out until all the bones from the elbow to the
shoulder Joint came out Many pieces of
bone came out of tho right foot and leg.
The case was then pronounced one of white
swelling. After being confined to her bed
about four years, and the case considered
hopeless, I was induced to try your Com
pound Extract Stilling!*, and was so satis
fied with its effects that I have continued
the use of it until the present My (laugh
ter was confined to her bed about six years
before she sat up or even turned over with
out help. She now site up all day and
sews most of the time ; has stood on her
feet alone and walked a few steps. She
has walked across the room with a little
support Her general health is now good,
and I believe she will, as soon as her limbs
gain strength, walk Well. I attribute licr

The Difference Between Demo

That tho people of Georgia may see, in a
more glaring light, the |>erfcct reekicitsiiess
and want of conscience, or the total disre
gard of any rciqxmsibilUy, on lltu part of
the majority of tlie last Legislature, in their
expenditures for themselves, etc., we have
concluded to copy, from the Comptroller
General’s reports, the expenses of former
Legislatures for nine years immediately
preceding and during tlie war, in part, for
pay of members and olileers of the Legisla
ture. For tlie years following the expenses
were:
For 1855-56 (biennial session). .$108,440 08
For 1857 114,242 25
For 1858 85,520 40

Showing the expenses of the last Legis
lature for pay of its own members and offi
cers to tie $112,000 47 more than that of
other Legislature* for nine years I And
what is more, during one of these nine
years (1863) the currency that the memliers
then received was wortli but five cents on
tlie dollar in gold. And what makes the
matter look still more extraordinary, du
ring six of those years (1855, ’56, ’57, ’SB,
’SU and ’00) the number of tlie memliers of
the Legislature ranged from 54 to 82 more
Ilian tlie present Legislature. From 1855
to 1860 each county laid a Senator; now
there is but one Senator to three counties.
In 1855 to 1857 there were 118 Senators and
155 Representatives—273 in all—aud 54
more tbau the present Legislature, which
consists of 44 Senators amt 175 Represen
tatives —210 in all; in 1858, 126 Senators
and 163 Representatives—2Bo in all—7o
more than the present Legislature. In
1859 and 1860, there were 132 Senators aud
109 Representatives—3ol in all, or 82 mem
bers more than the present Legislature. In
1861, 1803 and 1803 (three of tlie nine
years) 1 there were 45 Senators and 109 Rep
resentatives—2l2 in all—and only six mem
bers less than the present Legislature!
How Buck tlie Legislature Hits
Ci rubbed from tile Tux Buyers
or Georgia.
In 1868 tills political creature of Bullock
was in session ninety-five days; in 1860,
sixty-live days; in 1870, one hundred aud
sixty-eight days. Iu 1870 It held three
sessions respectively or seventeen, thirty
nine and one hundred and twelve days.
It lias cost tlie people for members’ pay
and mileage over NINE HUNDRED AND
BEVENTY-NINE THOUSAND DOL
LARS. No other Legislature ever cost
over four hundred thousand.

Add for hack i>ay of expelled mem
bers, colored 29,000
Also buck pay of minority candi
dates 20,000
Total $097,055
This does not include tho printing, which
cost at least one hundred thousand dollars.
Wc call attention to tho fact that forty
nine thousand dollars was voted away to
men who did not attend tlie time for which
they were paid, who were off attending to
their private business, and for time during
wtdeb other men served and were paid.
It has thus been reserved for a Bullock
legislation to pay two sets of legislators at
the public expense.
And mark it, here, that these nine years’
expenditures were made when tlie people
of Ueoragia liod from five hundred million
dollars to seven hundred million dollars
of property, while tlie two years’ expendi
tures were made when they had but about
two hundred million dollars of property.
Os this vast sum nine hundred and
seventy-nine thousand and thirty-live dol
lars over one hundred and twenty-live
thousand dollars, was for clerk hire by tlie
lust Legislature.
Forty-three thousand eight hundred anil
ninety-six dollars for clerk hire against
over one hundred and twenty-live thousand
dollars, for a little over tew yoars, will
show an average expenditure of about $6
to $1 by this tost Legislature, when com
pared with these other Legislatures for
clerk hire.
The State Debt.
Treasurer Angicr reported the debt to be
$0,014,500. Os tills amount $53,000 about
has been paid. But $600,000 of bonds
issued in 1868 and declared illegal by Gov.
Bullock, have been used by him, ranking
still $6,561,500.
Add to this $1,259,000 issued temporarily
by Governor Bullock of currency bomls,
also SIOO,OOO of gold bonds to Mr. Janies,
$250,000 to Mr. Kimball, and $1,000,000 of
gold bonds issued since tlie million and a
quarter were started out, and we have
some $9J867,500.
Now, stick on this small amount over
$5,000,000 already endorsed for railroads,
anil we have just FOURTEEN AND A
QUARTER MILLIONS of State debt
The credit of tho State is pledged to the
amount of near fifty millions more of
money for railroads.
Tax payers of Georgia I how do you like
this showing to start with T And it’s only
a hint as to now yon have been plundered.
A Rrrmsp Baker’s Recife for
Bread.—Take an earthen vessel, lar
ger at the top than at the bottom, put
in one pint of warm water, one and a
half pounds of flour, and half a pint
of malt yeast; mix well together and
set away in a warm place until it rises
and falls again, which will be in from
three to five hours. Then put two
large spoonfttls of salt into two quarts
of water, and mix with the above
rising»then put in about nine pounds
of flour, and work it well-, let it rise
until light; then make it into loaves.
New and runny flour requires one
fourth more salt than old and dry
flour. Bake a soon as light.
Tlie VUe Clerk System of ike
Georgia* Legislature.
We say that the clerk system of the last
Radical Legislature of Georgia affords a
talc of plunder and illegality without a pre
cedent in tlie history oi dcubcrative assem
blies. - And we further assert that it should
damn the Bullock faction to everlasting
execration.
Now, to tlie proof.
We can only examine tlie records of tlie
last and fifth session of tlie legislature,
mulling through 112 days. Tho session
cost in pay ami mileage of members and
derks $330,000.
Os tlds amount, ($82,807) EIGIITY-TWO
THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED AND
SEVEN DOLLARS, or over one-fourth tea*
for clerk* hire.
Think of it tax-payers, the clerks of this
Radical Legislature of Governor Bullock—
Ids tool—his creature—for one seasion cost
os much as former legislatures in honest
days.
Tlie session of 1863, when money was at
a discount, oust only $70,000 iu Confed
erate money.
The statement absolutely staggers credu
lity. Mind you, this sum of $82,807 for
legislative clerk hire was for one of five
sessions sat by this infamous body.
Tlie General Assembly had employed 104
clerks. This lwdy consists of 175 ’Repre
sentatives, and 44 Senators, or 219 alto
gether. if both liodics lmd been full, the
iiro|Kirtion would have becu 104 clerks to
219 legislators, or nearly one clerk to two
IcgMalor*. But when it is known that both
bodies lacked of their full members, this
monstrous pro)x>rtioa becomes greater still.
But when it is ftirtber known that these
bodies did not average an Attendance of
more Ilian two thirds of tliclr members, or
about 150 daily, it will be seen that this
legislative pel and spaniel of Governor
Bullock hud a clerk to errry one and a half
members.
Was there ever a surpassing case of cool,
dclilierato legislative crime?
Os Oils body of 10-1 clerks, the House had
08 and tlie Senate 30. The Senate, there
fore, beat its sister iu infamy, as it was
proper it should, licing more Uadicul. It
had a clerk to a Senator in the daily at
tendance of working Senators.
Now, if our lionest taxpayers, who sit at
their firesides and read tills Circular, will
try to get over liicir amazement and bring
their bewildered faculties to use, they will
understand the monstrous villainy of this
thing by remembering that past Legisla
tures could get on with from ten to twenty
clerks cosily. Wc allow fifteen as a fair
average.
And this Imdy needed no more to do the
actual clerical labor. But political depend
ents had to lie curried ana sopped. And
to their shame, be it s|Mikcn, a lew so-called
Democrats participated iu the thing.
It can be well understood, as it is charged,
that men drete ]>ay a* clerk * who neter wrote
a line or terreil a day—that legislators gave
certificate» of senice neter performed, and
got a jHirt of the stealings.
Gov. Jenkins’ uml Bullock’*
Administration* Compared.
Bullock spent sl2 800, without voucher*
in-fifteen months for tlie “ incidental ex
!>cnses of tlie Executive Department,”
against $350 for Jenkins with vouchers.
Who is the plunderer here ?
Gov. Bullock lias Bpcnt over S7O 000 for
extra printing in two years, against $1,070
a year for Jenkins. Who lias plundered
the tax ;layers on this score ?
Bullock lias spent $23,531 feeing law
yers, tlie most of it for legal work that should
have been done by the Attorney Genernl
who gets n large salary. We have no item
of the sort against Jenkins. Who digs
tlie tax payers here ?
Bullock spent $32,323 for Executive
clerk hire in twenty-three montlis, against
$9,462 for Jenkins in the same time, tiud
against $8,585 for Gov. Brown. Who
has plundered tlie tax-payers on this
scorer
Bullock spent $1,157 for oil and candles
for the Executive Department for six
months, against SSO by' Jcnkius. Where
does tlie rolibcry lean here?
Bullock spent $1,580 40 for coal in six
months for his office, against $432 50 by
Jenkins for wood.
Bullock spent $1,005.01 for Executive
»gc in six montlis, ogninst $671,99 for

Bullock spent $6,863.02 for Executive

Bullock spent $232,000 under the spe

To sum it all up, this economical RndioaJ
Governor, who arraigns Governor Jenkins'
Democratic administration for extrava

THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-FIVE
THOUSAND DOLLARS MORE than
Governor Jenkins, in lees time in his Radi

From tho Alliany News]
To the Citizens of the Second Con
<jrcasional District.
Two years more of such rule would
bring ruiu and bankruptcy to all the
great interests of the State, and would
destroy the hope of securing consti
tutional liberty in the ftiture. Our
opponents arc at work day aud night
in the “ Loyal Leagues ” and “Re
publican Clubs,” ordering and con
trolling their oath-bound colored men
as their political slaves, sending their
emissaries over the country to prop
agate falsehoods and misrepresent*-
tions, and to incite enmity and hatred
between the white and colored people.
The colored people should bo con
vinced that their civil and political
rights arc secured to them in the same,
manner, and to the same extent, a»
the rights of the white people, and
that, having a common interest in
the welfare aud property of tho State,
wc should work together and elect
good men to ofllcc, and secure an
lioucst and economical administration
of tlie Government. They need in
struction as to their rights and inter
ests, and they need protection against
action and present condition of our
State Government without feelings
of sorrow and indignation for tht
past, and apprehension for the future.
With an unscrupulous Executive
aud a Legislature organized by a
corrupt “ ring.” co-operating with a
United States Military Court, packed
with men who were not elected by
the people, their course has been
marked by bad laws, extravagance,
corruption, a disregard of the Consti -
tution, and of the rights and interest.,
of the people.
Again nominated for election to
Congress, by the unanimous voice
of a Convention, as one of the Stand
ard bearers of the Democratic party,
I would call your attention to the im
portance of tho election, which is to
be held on the 20th, 21st and 22d of
December, for a member of Congress,
members of the Legislature and
county officers.
The present condition of tho coun
try is bordering upon irretrievable
disaster and ruin.
The Radical party now in power
lias violated the Constitution, subver
i ted the rights ot the States, destroyed
the sacred guarantees of personal
liberty and the freedom of elections:
have impoverished the people by
heavy and unequal taxation; squan
dered tho public land and treasure
to enrich monopolies and partisan
favorites, and have established mili
tary despotism over peaceful commu
nities and States to force them to the
accomplishment of their selfish, cor
rupt and tyrannical designs. No hon
est citizen can speak or think of thc
thc tyranny aud threats of violence
from their Radical drivers. Let thib
be n part of our duty. People of
Georgia! let us make an effort wor
thy of the great cause for which wc
contend. Let uo personal sacrifices
stand in the way of our duty to save
the State from the evils which sur
round us and threaten our destruc
tion. Every man should boa mis
sionary ; every community should be
a unit. There should be no division
upon candidates, or otherwise. A
single vote may determine our fate.
Let every man be at the polls. Fi
nally, let us offer our earnest prayers
and best efforts to the Almighty Ruler
of men and nations for the salvation
of our beloved State.
If not providentially prevented, I
will address the people at the follow
ing times aud places, and I invite
my opponent, Major Whiteiy, to meet
me and discuss the questions involved
in the election.

Couc.—lf a horse has the colic,
give him two tablespoonfuls of soda
dissolved in warm water. liopeat the
dose every half hour thereafter until
the patient is well. For infants with
colic, soda in small quantities 1b in
valuable. If persons who are subject
to colic will take soda, they will have
no use for antispasmodics as a general
thing. I give soda for colic, fbr the
same reason you would use water to
put out fire.— Stock Journal.
pi>7° An old Dinner said to his
sons: “ Boys, don’t yoo ever spcck

Yoo mite jist as well go sn set down
on a stone in tho middle of a medder,
with a pail atwixt your legs, on’ wait
for a cow to back up to you to be
milked.”
