OUR ESTABLISHMENT.
Job Printing and Book Binding.
The reputation of this department of
our establishment has been secured, we
are glad to know, and is still maintained
by the quality and style of the work turn
ed out. We take pleasure in announcing
that the facilities and resources which en
abled us in the past to give character to
the Advertiser Establishment have been
augmented by the addition of the latest
improved styles of typo and furnitare,
which in the hands of skillful workmen
will be used with that taste and cunning
that have heretofore distinguished their
handiwork, and given it an enviable place
in public estimation. Mindful, too, of
the pressure of the times, all work will
be done at a cost that shall be approved
by even the exacting customer.

‘"The Steam Man.” —Much has been
published recently about the wonderful
invention of a machinest in Newark, New
Jersey, who has built a steam man, which
is said to be able to walk a good many
miles per hour, to go up and over hills,
travel over obstructions, and do many
other wonderful things. Practical men
doubted the ability of the machine to do
all that was claimed for it, thinking that
the power applied to the lifting and for
ward movement of the legs would do bet
ter if attached to a crank, which would
drive a pair of wheels.
Now, a man in Newark, who seems to
understand the case, denounces the ma
chine as an unmitigated humbug. He
says it never has walked a step since it
was made. It was carried from the shop
where it was made to an ice cream gar
den ; then it was propped up, so that it*
■fe"* ai4-»stTs»c : u
agoing. Its leg*4wung back anarorak!?
the empty air but that was all.
The Chamber of Commerce of New
York has adopted a memorial to the Leg
islature against railroad monopolies, set
ting forth that New York has made no
progress in the railroad facilities except
the extension of the Erie to Cincinnati
and St. Lonis, while other cities have
wisely increased their facilities by the
construction of the Pennsylvania Central
and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroads.
The memorial says that ‘'experience has
shown that low rates can be retained
without imperiling the prosperity of rail
roads.” It also gives a list of rates be
tween Baltimore, Philadelphia and New
York and Western cities, showing that
rates from that fifty to one
hundred per cent higftw* than from Balti
more.
Fighting Over the Spoils. The
Washington correspondent of the Balti
more Sun, writing under date of March
27, gives the following information con
cerning the buzzards who flock around
the capital :
Immediately after the assassination of
President Lincoln the corporation of
Washington offered a reward of $20,000
for the capture of the assassins. About
fifty-four claimants having appeared, the
case got into the Equity Court, where it
is still pending, ana Mr. M. Ashford was
appointed a commissioner to take testi
mony, and has for some time been attend-
Jng to thfct duty. Several days ago Mr.
Snnis, as counsel for Col. O’Beirne, (ona
if the parties,) had a subpoena issued for
.he Hon. E. M. Stanton as a witness, who
answered the summons by a note ad
dressed to Judge Olin that it was incon
venient for him to leave the War Depart
ment, but that he conld give his testimo
ny at the Department. Accordingly a
time was set, and on Wednesday the ex
amination of Mr. Stanton was com
menced, and was continued to-day.
The Wise Shooting Case. —The case
of John 8. Wise and Captain George
Douglas Wise, the former a son of Gov
ernor Henry A. Wise, of Virginia, charg
ed with shooting E. A. Pollard, in Balti
more, on the 14th of November last,
was again set for trial on Monday, the
30th inst., in the Criminal Court. Hon.
Reverdy Johnson and J. A. L. McClure
have been retained as their counsel, and
George H. Murphy, Esq., has been se
cured by Mr. Knott, State’s Attorney, to
assist in tbe prosecution.
Thirty-five female employees of the
Treasury Department are to be dismissed
in consequence of a decrease of work.
There is a story from California of Bur
glars who, at midnight, climbed up to a
chamber window and cautiously opened
it. The occupant chanced to be awake,
crept softly to the window, and just as tbe
robber’s face appeared, presented the
smooth muzzle of two revolvers, with the
injunction :
“You get!”
“ You bet I" replied the housebreaker,
dropping and running. There is no more
pithy dialogue on record.
WIIO SHOULD MAURY.
In the March number of the Herald Os
Health, Mrs. E. Oakes Smith has an ar
ticle on “Choosing a Wife," from which
we make a few extracts :
It is not wise to marry a woman of a
different religious faith, nor one far re
moved from your own eocial rank ; nor
an ignorant woman.
Do not marry a woman with thin lips
and a glib tongue.
Do not marry a sentimental woman,
who is sure to run into the lackadasical
one ; let her love sentiment, high, noble
sentiment, bnt beware of the sentimental.
Do not marry one of the delicate, die
away women, who are sure to degenerate
into invalids, and take a pride in their
feebleness,
Only handsome men and women ought
to marry. Those having a mens tana in
corpore sano. Let others look the mat
ter squarely in the face, and admit that
their imbecilities, their diseases, their un
handsome looks, their discordant minds,
ought not to be perpetuated ; and let them
go to work manfully to make the best of
themselves by eschewing marriage. Let
them be honest, hearty old maids and
bachelors, earning money for the good of
others, teaching and farming aud helping
on good and wholesome ideas.
The true, good, and handsome men
and women adapted to marriage ought to
be treated with distinguished honor in the
world, as benefactors of the race as fore
shadowing that beautiful future when we
shall be hardly lower than the angels,
and covered with glory and honor.
One reason why it is well to marry a
pretty woman in preference to a plain
oue, is that the former is mors free from
jealousy and discontent than the latter.
Being better satisfied with herself, she is
more likely to be pleased with others.
It is better to marry a full-sized woman
than a little one, for the meanness of
stature is apt to go through the charac
ter also. A certain roundness of con
tour, a composure and self poise, devoid
of heaviness and sluggishness, an elastic
buoyancy, a bright uppish look, more of
pride than vanity, a clear, open eye, and
pure, child-like smile; hands and feet
well proportioned, not too small, are out
lines easily discriminated and constitute
a safe, reliable character. A cheerful
woman, one who will not make mountains
of mole hills, who can find something
bright and beautiful everywhere; who
has pretty feminine resources, and knows
how to devise ways and means to make
others happy and content about her, is a
jewel of inestimable worth.
The voice (not for singing) is a great
indicator of character. Swedenborg says
the angels know the state of a man by his
voice. Beware of those high, sharp tones
of voice, as well as the too low and hesi
tating ; the first belongs to a shrew, and
the last to deceit and imbecility.

A Cool Proceeding.— Sunday evening
last an amusing little scene was witnessed
by a portion of the audience at one «f our
fashionable churches. While the Sermon
was being delivered a lady deliberately
removed her hat, took down her back
hair by the usual operation
the comb, and taking out, me by one,
seventy or eighty hair pins,' The raven
locks fell npon her shoulders, and the
people, instead of attending to the ser
mon, looked for the next movement. It
came in several quiet, satisfactory, en
joying movements of the comb down the
back of the head and through the hair.
Instead of attending to the sermon, peo-
Ce still eoaliiMied to-watch the lady. The
dr was then gathered in both hands,
dexterously retwisted, the comb inserted,
those seventy-five hair pins (and it seemed
as if they wonld never be all put in) re
placed, one by one ; the short hairs on
the neck tucked under, and finally the
hat wasresamed, and then the lady turned
her attention to the minister with greater
ease and more zeal than did the amused
audience.—Utica Herall.

BIOGRAPHIES OP EMINENT MEN.
“The Fat Contributor ” of the Cin
cinnati Times is publishing a series of
“Short Biographies of Eminent Men.”
Among the last of these is his account of
Benjamin Franklin, whom he thus em
balms in history.
The subject of this biography, whose
name is so intimately connected with
lightning rods and the old Franklin hand
press, was born in Boston, which fact, by
the way, in the estimation of the natives
of that town, does away with the necessi
ty for being “ born again " His father
was a tallow chandler and soap boiler.
This circumstance, it is supposed, ac
counts for the great sympathy which lie
always felt for the cause of Greece. His
earliest predilection was for the purpose
cf repressing it that Benjamin’s father
bound him apprentice to the printing
trade. He said he didn’t want him to go
“roving about,” and he was satisfied that
he wouldn’t if he once got to be a journey
man printer. Journeyman printers never
rove, Oh, no 1 He was bound appren
tice to his brother James, who used him
pretty rough, sometimes healing tbe
young American philosopher and states
man with a “side stick,” heaving “slugs”
at him, etc.
Benjamin had furnished several able
articles for his brother's paper, in a dis
guised hand, which his brother printed,
giving them a first rate editorial notice ;
but when he found out, as afterward he
did, that Ben wrote them, why, he was
tnad. That is the way with the world,
when a man diplays unusual ability. All
of my brothers are jealous of me.
Benjamin bore the abuse patiently.—
His brother being related to him, he said
he didn’t like to raise a fuss among the
connexions. He employed all his leisure
in improving his mind, by reading Par
ton’s Lives, Nasby, the New York Led
ger, Beadle’s Dime Novels, and old man
Grant’s biography of his son, thus estab
lishing a groundwork for becoming the
greatest American philosopher and states
man.
One day his brother heaving more than
the usual quantity of “slugs” at his head,
with the additional indignity of spanking
him with a “galley,” Ben resolved to run
away. He came to New York, where he
saw Horace Greeley for the first time,
easily recognizing him on the street from
the descriptions he had read of his long
white coat and hat. Too modest to ask
aid from Horace, who would doubtless
have offered it had he given his name, he
went to Philadelphia by the Camden and
Amboy Railroad, making an ineffectual
effort to “dead head” over the line on
account of having a brother who was a
Boston editor. He reached tho Quaker
City on a Sunday morning, and this oc
curring before the Philadelphians con
cluded to permit street cars to run on
Sunday, he was compelled to walk up
town.*' -
Ho-proraat&i a grotesque spectacle go
ing up Market street, eating a roll of
aerated bread, with two other rolls qpder
his arm and his pockets stuffed with
shirts, stockings, and paper collars. Thus
equipped, he passed by the house where
lived the future Mrs. Franklin, who re
marked his ridiculous appesrance. She
little thought when she laughed at the
stockings hanging out of his trowsers
pockets that she would have to set up
at nights to mend them, or that she would
ever cut down those paper collars for the
children to wear. Whether or not, la af
ter life, Franklin wished that he had gone
np another street, I am Dot prepared to
say.
He gave the two rolls to a poor woman,
who, sympathizing with his weary ap
pearance, kindly took them off bis hands;
and then, desiring some qniet place in
which to sleep, went into a Quaker meet
ing-house, from which he afterward
emerged greatly refreshed.
The following evening he went to the
Arch-atrerft Theatre, Jo. Murphy giving
him a pass on account of his connection
with toe presß,.
He found employment, and obtained
lodging at the house of his father-in-law
that was to be, and was easily recognized
by the yonng lady in question by the
shirts and stockings still hanging out of
his pockets.
Franklin began to catafignrein Phila
delphia at once. Tbe Governor, Sir
William Keith, took a liking to him and
offered to set him np in business. He
wanted him to get ogt anew paper
making it spicey as he conld —promising
him the State printing. He hinted at an
establishment bigger than the new Ledger
building. Franklin was induced to go to
England to buy types and a Hoe press for ,
the new paper (the Franklin Type Fofin-i
dry, of Cincinnati, not yet being in opera
tion), but on arriving there-he found that
he had been deceived. Sir William hadn't
credit enough to buy a sef.pjTT'.qhaaea”
He returned to Philadelphia, mar
ried, and began the publication - t>f a yearly
paper called “Poor Richard’s Almanac.”
In those days an ably conducted almanac
of ordinary enterprise was about as much
as the reading public required. Now
they want half a dozen edition* a day.
He became deeply versed in the arts
and sciences. Among bis most noted in
ventions was that of tbe lightning rod,
which draws the lightning from the
clonds, and, if it don’t strike some other
part ts the building, it is popularly sup
posed to run down the rod into the
ground.
Renjamin Franklin was an able writer,
as may be seen by his signature affixed to
the Declaration of independence, which
he assisted in drafting. He did a great
amount of business in his day. I con
clude that he was largely engaged in the
hotel business, as I have rarely been in a
place of any size that didn’t have a
“Franklin House.” Everybody has
heard too of “the old Franklin Foundry,”
which few manufacturing cities are with
out. His memory is revered by all
printers, who look upon him as their
friend, the anniversary of his birth af
fording them a first rate opportunity to
hold an annual festival. Frai.klin was a
great man. No one hab really filled the
place he made vacant as yet, and I don’t
just now think of one among my acquain
tances who seems likely to.
President Woolsey, of Yale, is said to
have come to the conclusion that Joan of
Arc was neither an impostor nor a fanat
ic, but a woman directly inspired from
on high.
ADDRESS
To the People of Georgia.
We publish below the address to the
people of Georgia, prepared b; the Cen
tral Executive Committee, through its
Chairman:
Rooms Central Executive Committke)
Os tbe National Democratic Party of >
Georgia, Macon, Mayuh 27,1868. j
To the People of Georgia : 1
The Committee appointed Ui accordance with
the resolutions of the Convention held in the
ci y of Macon on the sth andoth of last Decern*
ber, with authority to call State Conventions m
often as may be necessary, and to indicate at
the proper time, the policy which, in their
judgment, may be best adapted to subserve
and promote tho public good, have deemed it
inexpedient to call a State Convention, upon
the short notice which must necessarily be giv
en to cor si ler and determine what action snail
be adopted in reference to the Constitution
framed by the late Convention at Atlanta, aud
to nominate a candidate to be run by the Demo
cratic party of Georgia in the election to be
held on the 20th of next month.
Feeling the importance of diffusing early in
formation among the people upon the subjects
which will come before them, the Committee,
in the exercise of the authorityvesiqdin them,
resolved to proceed to immediate action, ana
to indicate the polioy which, in their judgment,
is best adapted to promote the public good.
Two questions are presented to the people in
the election whioh has been ordered for the 20th
of April:
First. Shall the paper submitted by the Con
vention as the fundamental law of Georgia be
ratified or rejected ?
Second. Who shall administer the Govern
ment under the new Constitution, if adopted ?
Under the rules and regulations which will
govern the approaching election, and looking
to tho necessity of saving tho State from the
disgrace and degradation of a domination which
will carry ruin in its train, the polioy best
adapted to promote the public good will be to
vote against the Convention.”
To enuinerato tho many objections which may
be legitimately urge l against that instrument,
would swell this address to an unreasonable
length. jLhere is one so prominent and over
whelming that we would ho derelict in duty to
pass it by unnoticod.
Wo call your speeia! attention to tho Ilth
soction of the 11th article, which is in those
words:
“Should this Constitution be ratified by tho
people, and Congress accept tho same with any
qualifications or conditions, the government
heroin provided for and the officers elected
shall nevertheless exist, and oontinue in the
exercise of their several functions, as tho gov
ernment of thi* State, so far as the samo maybe
consistent with the action of tho United States
in the premises.”
This section presents Gootgia in the attitude
of seeking admission in the Union upon any
Sialifieatxone or eonditione which the prosen t
Hdieal Congress, bitter and malignant as it
is, may presonbo. If the white peoplo oV Geor
gia can stpop so low akto go bofore a Radical
Congress in that attituflo, then, indeed, thoy
will have drained the oub of humiliation to the
very dregs. Lost to every sense of honor and
recreant to the dearest, interest* of his State
will he be who ean rote idra Constitution with
snch a provision. What Georgian so base, and
so forgetful of the honor of his native State, as
to suhject our good old Commonwealth to such
humiliation ? Let the -nstrumont containing
the infamous proposition be rejected with scorn
and Indignation. Wo use stroug language, but
not stronger than the sutgeetdemands.
If it be not out of place, we especially warn
one class of our fellow-citizen*, who are oppos
ed to the Constitution upon principle, and yet
feel constrained to vote for it on Recount of the
Eecuniary relief which it will afford them, to
eware of the cheat ab'jjiit to bo imposed upon
them. They excuse r vote for ratification
V'' Tdana r obtain**, relief f; am
an indcuted4jS» r W}> lm 'f..n or the de
struction of ‘their ~r,y l»y thd Government,
they are unable to ttiaatijurge. Those who in
dulge in hopeti or roller from this source are
doomed to be d-saV’l>oisAed. But their disap
pointment is net tho pat part of the matter.
It is deception practiced upon them which is
most reprehensible. This deoeptiou is attempt
ed by men who oncestqod high in pnblie favor.
One who has enjqaed. ton greater extent, than
any other individual the highest honor the
people of Georgia eafibeftow, is urgent in his
appeals to the people tfsEdopt tho Constitution
on account pi tho-ola; ' hich relieves them
toms.their debt*. Snows, and must
know, that if tM-ConSttftuuon be submitted to
Congress with an mvitsiion to qualify or modi
fy it. a* they may •eeJßiper, it will come back
shorn of its relief toSfcire, aud the expecta
tions which he so lndmpljausly labors to excite
Wnl never be realixsjjra'ijfkoso who may vote
for the Constitution, u Jr the delusive hope
of obtaining relief** f their indebtedness,
will rush into the net i ):h is spread to catch
them; but when in, thi, jit. whioh lured them
on, wUI disappear, MSO*/ will be entangled
in meshes fromwhidh ffiere will be no escape.
Thereisbut ohe cofirM for honest men to pur
sue, andrthat is th reboot indignantly the bribe
whioh is offered for their votes, and with it the
men who would deceive and betray them
One other objeotion.to the adoption of the Con
stitution, and the government it is intended to
organise, we beg leave to urge, and that is the
heavy expense it will entail upon the State.
It may be saThly affirmed that if the new
government shall go into operation according
to the provisions of thgpropoaed Constitution,
it will, upon a moderatTcstunato, cost tho State
not leas than $3,000,000.
Why throw tbi* heavy burden upon the peo
ple in thmir preeent impoverished condition ?
Why do it when there is no actual necessity for
it? Wny the enormous expense for substitu
ting anew Constitution in the plaoe of one al
ready in operation, and with which the peoplo
were content? Why must it be done? The
correct answer is, it is to be done to increase,
the number of voters, and to give the Radical
party permanent pow# in the State. This is
the true ohjeot, whatever may be the pj-etextto
the contrary. And that class of persons for
whose especubf benefit tjiis reconstruction mea
sure is thrust upon the (State, and who are to
be inyested with the right of suffrage in the
new organization, will bear but little, if any of
this heavy burden. Almost its entire weight
WiU fall xpontbose whp own the taxable pro
. petty. Will they stand it ? Let them answer
Mthe polls on the 20th bf next month.
2. Who shall administer the Government un
der.the newXflnstitution, If adopted ?
Looking td a eontinjency that may occur, tho
friends of order andTIOUI government in all
the eouatiesjaqd Senatorial'districts of this
Btate Are invoked to, Iffing fat their wisest and
best men. who »re«!Sio to seats In the Legis
lature, and not to remit their labors until they
shall have secured their election.
If the ConsHtuti I now to be voted on shall
be adopted and the fundamental law
of the land, the firsl Legislature which will as
semble after its adcu'tVoj, will have tho most
vital interests of the pedple in their hands, and
will control the destinies of the State for years
to come. How important, then, that legisla
tion. in the commencement of tho near govern
ment. take a right direction How immediately
important that it ( be controlled by virtue and
intelligence —by "wisdoki, justice and modera
tion,” and not by ignorance, corruption and
malignity.
If the friends of good government prevail and
secure a majority in both branches of the Leg
islature, we may leel assured, at least, that our
fellow-citizens will not be disturbed in tbe en
joyment of tbeir political rights. But if, on the
other hand, the government should fall into
thehandßof men elected by an ignorant, irre
sponsible constituency, having no interests to
be affocted injuriously by unwise legislation,
but having power tu inflict injury upon others
by an improper choice of legislators, without
wisdom or discretion to. direct them in the
choice of rulers, or virtue to withstand the ap
proaches of corruption, wo may become suhject
to all tbe wrongs and oppression which a venal,
corrupt aud malignant Legislature can in
flict.
..If any person shall affect to believe (hat snch
danger is not to be apprehended, let them look
at the condition of the 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 pro
posed Constitution, unite with us in the election
of honest and pure men'to'make laws, and ad
minister tho government under it. Tho organ
ization which we iSepresent meets the people of
Georgia of all parties amt Views and feelings in
a spirit of conciliation ano’harmony.
Weprosontto the people no candidate for
Governor as okr,otyoinee. and the representa
tive of all our views. We findrinee the declen
sion of Judge Reeae, whose noble, wise, self
sacrificing, patrisSae letter » before you, a Geor
gian already idnUl field—an honest, pure, up
right Christian gentleman, Judge David Irwin,
| of the oounty of Cobh. We believe he will ad-
I minister tho goyerument of Georcia with an
eye to the interests of all the people without re
gard to party, or class, or race, should this Con
stitution be ratified, and he he elected. We
believe he will administer it honettly. Born in
Georgia, thoroughly trained in the wants ofher
Boople, and intimately acquainted with her
ench and Bar, we believe thathewill appoint
an honest and pure judiciary to expound what
ever may be made the Constitution and the
laws. Between such a man and his opponent
we cannot hesitate a moment, nor do wo be
lieve the overwhelming majority of the intolli
genoo and worth of the State can hesitate. With
him as Governor, and with wise and good men
in the Legislature—Georgia may survivo. With
the adventurers and plunderers installed into
office, what is left of blood in her vein", will he
drawn out by their avarice and lust for spoils,
and the State must languish out a miserable ex
istence, and die at last of complete depletion.
Fellow-citizens 1 The issue is before you.
Will you be ruled by wisdom, virtuo ar.d intel
ligence, or by iguornnee, stupidity, venality
and corruption ? Choose your fate.
Recollect the immense patronage which will
be plaoed in the hands of your Governor by the
new Constitution, if it should bo adopted : The
ecntrol of the Western and Atlantio Railroad,
with its income of over $1,000,000 annually; the
nomination of the Judges of the Supreme and
the Superior Courts, the Attorney-General, So
lieitors-Goneral, the Senatorial District Judges
and Attorneys, the State School Commissioner,
and to appointond commission Notaries Public,
not to exceed one for each Militia Diatriot, for
a term of four years, who shall be ex officio
Justices of the Peace. This is a part of the
patronage to be wielded by your Governor—
and patronage is power. Will you place it in
the hands of a native Georgian, in whose in
tegrity you can oonfide, or in the hands of a
stranger from another State with whom you are
unacquainted, and of whose antecedents you
are ignorant?
If you select honest and intelligent men to
legislate 'or you, and put an incorruptible pa
triot in your Executive Chair, all will he well:
but if your legislative halls shall be filled by
men elected to represent an ignorant,debased,
degraded constituency, aud if your Chief Magis
trate shall depend upon the same power to put
him in office, what otherresult oan be expected
bnt that venality and corruption will 811 your
offices, and be scattered broadcast over the
land ? Your legislators being corrupt, corrup
tion and malignity will enact your laws.
To avert such a calamity will requiro your
utmost exertions, and at this time, aud in thii
crisis, it is absolutely nocessary that all who
have not registered should do so at onoe, when
an opportunity is presented.
Georgia now expeett every man to do hie duty.
