THE PRIZE
POWDER
OF TIIE WORLD.
The* attention of Sportsmen and Dealers
is called t« the following facts :
At the trial of Arms before the Examining Board
in Washington, August, JS66, cartridges made
from this powder, gave Tar greater penetration,
range, and cleanliness, in competition with
the principal Ameri proved in ev«ry
respect superior to alnßliers.
At the Wimbledon Bitb* Meeting in England,
July. 1866. competing with the best of foreign
powders, the same results were obtained with the
first prize.
The Board convened by order of tbeComman- !
der in-Chief of the State of New York for the ex- |
animation of military small arms, whose sessions
were attended by officers specially detached by j
the Russian, Prussian and Danish Governments. ;
say. in their printed report of the numerous gnus j
on trial, that after firing 100 rounds nil but one
became so foul as not to admit tbo cartridge.
This led to a test of the jHUQglcr, and they deem
the subject of so much importance that they sav '
in their report : ‘ The jioicder used in Uichc. ear- j

ADDRESS
To the People of Georgia.
W.e publish below the address to the
people of Georgia, prepared by the Cen
tral e:-,' alive (VmmiUeo, throng' • its
Chairman
Booms Oentiui. IXm ctivk Committkk )
Os the National Democratic; Party of >-
Oeorgia, Macon, March 27 1868. )
To the People of Georgia;
The Committee, appointed in accor
dance with the resolutions of the Convcn
tion held in the city of Macon on the sth
and 6th of last December, with authori
ty to call Slate Conventions as often as
may be necessary and to indicate at the
proper time the policy which in their
judgment may be best adapted to sub
s -rve and promote the public good have
deemed it inexpedient to cal) a .state Con
vention upon the short notice which
must necessarily be given to consider
and determine what action shall be adop
ted in reference to the Constitution (ram
ed by the Convention at Atlanta, am l*?o
nominate a candidate to be run by the
Democratic parly of Georgia in the elec
tion to bo bold on the 20th ofm4h month.
Feeling the importune of-aLifVnsing
early information arnon^tlippeople upon
Ihe KubjrelH which wilWmmo before them
the Committee in the exorcise «»f the au
thority vested in them* resolved to pro
ceed to immediate acljun and to indicate
the policy which iiwtheir judgment is
best adapted to urombte the public good
Two questions arc presented to the
people iu the election which nas been or
dered for the 2(ftli of April.
First. Shall the paper submitted by
theConvcntup as the fundamental law
of Georgia Jk)c ratified or rejected ?
Second. AY ho shall administer the Gov
eminent linger the new Constitution, if
adopted/
Under the rules and regulations which
will govern the approaching election and
looking to the necessity of saving flic
State from the disgrace and degradation
of a domination which will carry ruin in
its tinil) the policy best adapted to pro
mote the public good will be to vote
“against the Convention. 11
To enumerate the many objects which
may be legitimately urged against that
instrument, would swell this address to
an unreasonable length. There is one
ho [f oiliiiieir, and overwhelming lliut we
would hos dcrclicit in duty to pass it by
unnoticed. 4
Wo call your special attention to the
11th section of the 11th article in these
words :
“Should this Constitution bo ratified
by the people and Congress accept the
same with any qualifications or condi
tions the government herein provided for
and the officers elected shall nevertheless
exist and continue in the e xercise of their
several functions as the government of
this State so far as the same may be
consistent with tbo action of'jtho United
States in the premises.”
This section ptv.mi.t: Georgia in (he
attitude OI seeking admission in the Un
ion upon any qualifications or conditions
which the present Radical Congress bit
ter and malignant us it is, may prescribe
If the white people of Georgia can stoop
so low as to go before a Radical Con
gress in that attitude, then, indeed they
will have drained theeupof humiliation
to tbo very dregs. Lost to every sense
of honor and recreant to the dearest in
terests of his State will ho be who can
vote for a Constitution with such a pro
vision. What Georgian ho base and so
forgetful of the honor of his native State
as to subject our good old Commoiiweath
to such humiliation ? Let the instru
ment containing the infamous proposi
tion be rejected with scorn and indigna
tion. Wc use strong laugua e, but not
i stronger than the subject demands.
If it be not out of place, we especially
warn one class of our fellow citizens,
who are opposed to the Constitution up
on principle and yet feel constrained to
vote for it on account of the pecuniary
relief which it,w ill afford them to be
ware of the cheat about to be imposed
upon them. They excuse their vote for
ratification solely upon the ground of
obtaining relief from an indebtedness
which on account of the destruction of
their property by the Government, they
are unable to discharge. Those who in
dulge in hopes of relief Dorn this source
are doomed to be disappointed. But
their disappointment is not the worst
part of the matter.
It is deception practiced upon them
which is most reprehensible. This de
ception is attempted by men who ouce
stood high in public favor. One who
has enjoyed to a greater extent than any
other individual the highest honor the
peopleJ of Georgia can bestow is urgent
in his appeals to the p* p - to adopt the
■Constitution on account of the clause
which relieves them from their debts.
But he knows and must know.that if the
Constitution be submitted to Congress
with an invitation to qualify or modify
it - tie v may sc«**proper, it will c<*me
i aek . s r ; es measure and the
expectations winch lie so industriously
labji&to,q3.qitL mil ucvvi; be realized.—
Thorfe who mayjvote for the Constitu
tion under the delusive hope of obtain
ing relief from their indebtedness, will
rush into the not which is spread to
catch them ; but when in the bait which
lured them on, will disappear aud they
will bo entangled in meshes from which
there will be no essape.
There is but one course for honest
men to pursue and that is to reject in
dignantly the bribe which is offered for
their v>tes, and withjit the men who
would deceive and betray them.
One other objection to the adoption of
the Constitution and the government it
is intended to organize wo beg leave to
urge and that is ti.e heavy expense it
will entail upon the State.
It may be safely affirmed that if the
now government shall go into open tion
according to the provisions of the pro
posed Constitution, it will upon a fnoder
ate estimate cost the State not less than
$3,000,000.
W hy throw this heavy burden upon
the people in their present impoverished
condith n ? Why do it when there is no
actual necessity for it ? Why the enor
mous expense for substituting anew
Constitution in the place of one already
iu operation with and which the people
wore content. Why must it 1 C done. The
correct answer is it is to be done to in
crease the number of voters and to give
the Radical party permanent power in
the State. This is the true object what
ever may he the pretext to the contrary.
And that class of persons for w .use es
pecial benefit this reconstruction meas
ure is thrust upon the .State and who are
to be invested with the right of suffrage
in the new organization will bear but
little if any of ihi; heavy burden Al
m >st its entire weight will fall upon those
who own the taxable property. Will
they stand it ! Let. them answer at the
[lolls on the 20th of next month.
2. Who shall administer the Govern
ment under the new Constitution if adop
led ?
Looking to a contingency that may
occur, the friends of order aud good gov
ernment in all the counties and Senato
rial districts of this State are invoked to
bring out their wisest and best men who
arc eligible to seats in the Legislature
and not io i. roil, their labors until they
shall love se.- t .1 their election.
(f the f 'on'. ! f uiion now to be voted on
shall be adopted and become the funda
mental law of the land, the firat Legis
lature which will assemble after its ad
option will have the most vital interest
of the people in their hands, and will con
trol the destines of the State fur years to
come. Ifovv important then, that Icgisla
tion in coinmonci m *nt of the now g >v
cit)meul take a right direction. llow ini
mediately important that it be controlled
by vinu : and intelligence -by “wisdom
justice and moderation,” and not by ig
norance, corruption aft/ A*b iSt^*
If the friends of good government pre
vail and secure a majority iu both branch
os of the Legislature we may feel a*-
sured at least that our fellow citizens
will not De disturbed # in /lie enjoyments
of their political rights. But if on the
oilier hand the ydiould fall
into the hands of men elected by an ig
norant irresponsible constituency haviqg
no inter to be affected injuriously by
unwise legislation but having power to
inflict injury upon others by an improp
er choice of legislators without widom
or discretion to direct them in the choice
of rulers or virtue to withstand the ap
proaches ol corruption we may become
subject to all the wrongs and oppression
which a venal corrupt and malignant
Legislature can inflict.
If any person shall affect to believe
that such danger is not to be apprehen
ded let them look at the of flic
white race in Tennessee, and let the
white people of Georgia be warned by
her example and save themselves while
they can from a like fate.
If your judgments lead you to ratify
the proposed Constitution unite with us
in the election of honest and pure men
to make laws and administer the gov
ernment under if. The organization
which wo represent meets the people of
Georgia of a!l parties and views an 1
feelings in a spirit of conciliation and
harmony.
Wo present to the people no candidate
for Governor as our nominee, and tin
representative of all our views. We find j
since the 4 declension of .Judge
whose nub , wise, self sacrificing, patri
otic letter is before yon. a Georgian al
ready in the field—an Lrtncst, pure, up !

Irwin, of the county of We be

of Georgia with an eye to thy inferest of
al! the people without regard*tu # pai ty or
j class, or race, should this constitution
be ratified, and he be elecjftd. we Jiu*
leave lie will administer it honestly.
Boj'n in Geocgia, thoroughly Jhpuiiied in
; the wants ol her people, arffntffjJStfCTy
acquainted with her Bench and Bar, we
1 l> Leve tlit lie will appoint an honest*

bellow-citizen! The issue is before
you. Will you be ruled by wisdom, vir
tue and intelligence, or by ignorance,
stupidity, venality anil conniption?
Choose your tale.
Recollect the immense patronage which
will he placed in the hands of your Gov
eruor by the new Constitution, if it
should be adopted: The control of the
Western and Atlantic Itaihoad, wi h its
income of over $1,000,000 annully; the
nomination of the Judges of the Supreme
and Superior Courts, the Attorney-Gen
era!, Solicitor-General, the Senatorial
District Judges ami Attorney, the State
School Commissioner, and to appoint and
commission Notaries Public, not to ex
coed one for each Militia District, for a
term ol fonryears, who shall he e. r officio
-lustice ot the Pence. This is a part of
the patronage to he wielded by your
Governor and jxitrvnayn is p'lwer. Will
you place it in the hands of a native
Georgian, in whose integrity you can
confide, or in the hands of a sti
from nno lor S'ate, with whom you are
unucipiaiutcd, and of whose antecedents
you are ignoiant.
If you select honest and intelligent
men to legislate for you, and put an
incorruptible patriot in your Executive
Chair, ail will he well; lo t if your legis
lative halls shall he filled by men elected
to represent an ignorant, debased, degra
ded contituoney. and if your Chief Mag
istrate shall de| cud upon the same power
to pat him in office, what other result
can tic expected hut that venality and
corruption will till your offices, and be
scattered broadcast over the land? your
legislators being corrupt, corruption and
malignity will enact your laws.
To avert such a calamity will require
your utmost exertions and at this time
and in (ids crisis it is absolutely neces
sary that all wli - have not registered
should do so at once, vvh ••a an opportuni
ty is presented.

I,ate one evening a couple of Irishmen'

the travelers resolved to go to lied ii

of them awoke and after shaking his
comrade to arouse him said:
'Terrence, I'm wake as a vaccinal, '.-
kitten, for the want of air. Get up si
open the window. The room is as clwt
as a patent coffin and I'll die if yon dot. <

Terrence arose, groped around ii .
room fur a few minutes und then said :
‘l've found the window ; but bad lues
to if 1 can budge it. 1 can't move it--
at her up or down.”
‘Then knock a coup's of panes out wi'V‘
yer shoe, and well pay for them in the'

Terrence did as directed After two'
crashes were heard by tho man in the
bed, lie seemed to recover, (or he remark
