New Orleans, Oct. 4. —The Republicans have re

District; have nominated L. A. Sheldon for the full
term from tlie Second District, and J. Wills Men
ard for Col. Mann’s uuexpired term. Meuard is a
negro, and announces himself as a candidate for
nomination in a circular, from which the follow
ing is au extract. He says : “The time lias fully
come to test the professions and principles of those
who now control the Republican party of Louisi
ana, and that it is a sacred duty the colored peo
ple owe to tlieinselves, to see that the colored race
is not sold out by a few trading, treacherous white
Republicans in Louisiana, as it has been in Georgia.
Their State is entitled to seven Representatives in
Congress. Are not the colored people entitled at
least, to two of them ? Is it not our duty to see
that at least, two colored citizens arc selected to
represent in Cougress 90.500 colored voters of Lou
isiana ? The ballot means equal representation as
well as equal rights, and if men are still to be de
barred from tiie Halls of Congress, or even the
White Haute, ion account of the color of tlieir faces
then Reconstruction ami Republicanism are lamentable
failures. The reward of the long oppressed race
will not be adequate, and the great cause of equal
rights will not be finished until tlie colored man is
seen in every department of ttiis government. It
is necessary that the forty-first Congress should
possess more backbone than the present one, iu
order to fix a jtlain provision in the supreme law of
the Republic that shall confer the ballot on every citizen,
regardless of race or color, A'orth, South, East aiul
West.
New Orleans, September 29—When the vote

Louisiana, Sept 30. —The committee to investi
gate the action of the board of registration report
ed yesterday that the board of registrars, of which
Win. Baker, is chairman, lias given instructions to
the various boards of supervisors throughout the
State that are wholly unwarranted in tlie theory,
and entirely beyond the law of registration. That
their action iu refusing to recognize naturalization
papers from the third, fourth, fifth, sixth and
seventh District courts, was wrong, tlie board hav
ing no power to pass upon tiie validity of Judicial
acts, and that these instructions deprive persons of
the benetl tof article ninety nine,of the Constitution,
which deprivation is unjust, and clearly against the
Constitution. The report was adopted. Senator
Bacon’s bill, confining registrars within ttie law,
passed tlie first reading, and was made the special
order for to morrow.

tiie seats were contested were disproved and rec
ommended the whites be confirmed. The minority
report, signed by two negroes, unseating the
whites and seating tlie blacks, was adopted 27 to 17.
Tiie State Democratic Convention convened
yesterday and organized witli a full attendance.
To-day a resolution was adopted declaring that
while we protest against all test oaths as disquali
fications except for crimes whereof a party has
been duly convicted, we recognize tbe necessity
of conforming to existing laws ; and this Couveii
tiou will entertain the name of no person as a can
didate for elector who cannot qualify under these
laws. It recommended the Congressional Conven
tion to adopt the same rule. Five members of tlie
eleetorial ticket, wiio arc ineligible, resigned, and
a portion of the vacancies were filled witli eligible
men.

that Ids contestant was not a candidate against him
at all.
The election bill is still under discussion.

1 ondon, Oct. 3d.—Disraeli lias issued an address
to his constituents alluding to the disestablishing of
the Irish Church. He says if it meant the severing
of Church and State, it also involved the stirring
up additional rancor and bitterness in Ireland. It
would unsettle property, make confiscation con

Many of our merchants have returned from
Now York within the past few days, where they
have been to purchase stocks. They report the
Dry Goods market more steady than since the war,
Uie opinion being universal that it has “touch
ed bottom” and now presents a lietter qppuuuiiny
for dealers tU-n in three years. Several leading
grades of fancy Groceries have declined since sum
mer, but the difference now and then is not very
great. They report the New York merchants more
anxious for Southern trade than ever, and ready to
extend any reasonable accommodation to them.
Asa general rule the Southern merchants stand as
high now in New York as they did before tho war,
which is higher ttian those from anv other section
of the United States. The losses sustained by bad
debts in the South are as nothing compared with
those in the East, the West and in the Northwest
In the late internecine war we lost hecatombs
of dead, the fabled wealth of the Indies, and still
more than all these, our liberties, but we did not
lose more than these, than all, our honok ! Aud
in the height of that conflict, when the evil pas
sions of men boiled us a sea in an earthquake, and
still more recently when we see the entire political
capital of a party consisting wholly of abuse of
the South, in all this they ucver yet made the
charge that we were either dishonest or cowardly.

Weekly Review of the Macon Market.
Monday Evening, Oct. 5,1868.
An active trade lias prevailed in our market
throughout tlie week ending to-day. To this au
exception must be made for Saturday, during which
a heavy rain steadily fell, cutting down sales to
next to nothing.

Cotton to-day touched 25 cents. It closed at our
last Weekly Review at 22 cents. We have made an
advance of 3 cents per pound or sls per bale. The
market is supposed to have made a permanent step
forward.
Receipts and shipments have been far in excess
of any other week during tlie season. Our planters
are very busy preparing tlieir crop for tlie market
and are anxious to sell at tin* present ruling rates.
It will pay handsomely to raise cotton at 25 cents
per pound.

been very busy during the week. Their sales
foot up handsomely. They are full-handed in re
gard to stock, ami may be congratulated upon
doing a better business than they have any time

New York, July Ist, 1868.
Dear Sir In your paper of last week you or
one of your eorres(K)iiileuts say that Dr. Drake is
not tlie originator of the celebrated Plantation
Bitters, and that they were manufactured and
sold by one /Wro Afartdlc , an old Spaniard, in tiie
Island of St. Thomas, over forty years ago, as
every old sea captain can testify. Now, sir, I can
testify to the above being true, for I have followed
tiie sea for over forty years, most of tlie time doing
business with tlie West Indie*. These same Bit
tora, ditlureutly put up and named, were brought
to my notice on my first trip to tlie Island of Bt.
Croix for a cargo of rum, and for years and years
after my ship’* stores were never without them. I
always supplied my family and many of my neigh
bors with them, and can truly say that a better
Bit ters and Tonic is not made in all tlie world.
Yours, truly,
Cast. Henry Wentz.
Magnolia Water—Superior to the best impor
ted German Cologne, and sold at half the price.
NOTE THESE FACTS.
Tiie object of this article la to call the attention
of tlie feeble and ailing to themselves. Ordinarily,
bus!titsi, pleasure—in short, almost everything
iu tills sublunary woild obtain* more considera
tion than tlie preservation of riiat blessing wiLh
which nothing earthly should l>e pul iu compari
son, viz: health. This Isa duugerous season, aud
It does not flud the human system in the best
condition to defy Its peril*. To use a homely
phrase, the torrid summer weather “lake* tbe
starch out of people," aud leave* them limp and
languid. The fires ol vitality burn low. The
naturally It-eble are unusually depressed; the
naturally strong are uot so vigorous ss they
might be. Seven-eighths of the community leel
more or less the Influence of the atmospheric
changes which proJuee the malarious diseases
common in October and November. It Is as a
prrleetlve against these changes that HOHTET
TER’S STOMACH BITTERS have obtained no
small portion of their ceJebrtty. The great
Vegetable Tonic or the age Is net only a
specific tor Chronic Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Bili
ousness, and Nervous CorupluiuW, hut also a
preventive of malarious epidemics Whoever
wishes to be Insured against an attack of inter
mittent or remittent lever (botli of which prevail
to a melancholy extent all over the country,)
will do well to resort without delay to this fa
mous Invigorating and anU-blllous specific.
Quinine has had its day. It leaves a sting be
hind, and physicians are beginning to discard It.
But iIIMTETTEIIS BITTERS become more
popular, and command a vaster sale with <ach
successive season, singly because they pHsluce: a j
better Hiitlicinot effect than any of the ]>ower/ul po t- j
umi used as tonics, and are at once a safe and '
pa latable prepa ra 1 ion.

Liver and Dyspeptic Medicine.
riMIK celebrity ot this Medicine is so great that
X tlie proprietor feels it ms duly to bring it
more fully before the public. Our warm weather
is so debilitating, nature requires something to
assist it, without the unpleasant consequences
resulting from the use of purging medicines
usually resorted to.
This artlele will be found to act as a pleasant
eordial and tonic, relieves habitual eostlveness,
which is found in feeble constitutions, and |xr
sons of sedentary habit*, which often produces a
desponding state of the miud, irregular if not a
loss of appetite. Persons subject lo bilious cholic
may rely on the preventive properties of Ibis
medicine. Use it on the first intimation of ap
proaching attack. Many persons whoqedigestße
organs are feeble often experience a sense or lulJ
