AUGUSTA- A.: Thursday Morning, October 21, 1875. Municipal Affairs—A Proposition. We have hitherto said, and still be lieve, that a preponderating number of our voting population favor the re election of Hon. Charles Estes for Mayor of Augusta. While we are im pressed with the truth of this state ment, we admit that it may be a mis take. If it be true, the kind of war now being waged against Mr. Estes, in Charleston and Augusta, is not calcu lated to harm him greatly, because, in the long run, the man who stands up in his own stout defense, under his own signature, will, nine times out of ten, command more sympathy and sub stantial support than those who deliver their fire from an ambuscade. We do not propose to enter the lists against any of Mr. Estes’ anonymous assail ants, first, because the object of attack is entirely able to take care of himself; and, second, because we have no cause of quarrel with those gentlemen, who are no doubt most worthy persons, and do what they do in the interest of the city, as they conceive it. But any one familiar with this kind of political con test must know that an argumentpro and con, started on a basis of reputed facts and figures, degenerates at last into bitter personalities, which are not creditable to either party and may be a blow upon the city itself. A few news papers, more or less, may be sold, a considerable minority of people may be amused and excited—just as they would be over a pugilistic encounter— but, in the end, no earthly good is sub served and much harm made possible. We, therefore, propose, in the interest of fair play and peace, that “ Citizen ” and “ Many Voters ” consent to reveal themselves, in pro pria persona, and, at the City Hall, or any other convenient place, meet Mr. Estes, at a given time, and, face to face, as becomes men who love their cty and hate disguises, discuss the ques:ions now at issue. We have had no conversation with the Mayor upon this subject, but do not doubt his will ingness to endorse it. What say you Messrs. “Citizen ” and “Many Voters?” If this proposition be accepted by Mayor Estes, and declined by his anon ymous assailants, we presume the rea sons for so doing will be perfectly proper; but such a declension, on their part, will give the Mayor a signal ad vantage. Again; if it be a mistake to suppose that Mr. Estes is backed by a majority of voters, who approve his candidacy and election, for the specific reason that he be allowed to complete the work on the canal—a public discussion, such as we have intimated and out lined, would be the nucleus of organiz ing against him, or else eliminate it as a factor in the December election, by consequential demoralization. We repeat what we have said often before, that newspaper shots, however witty or weighty, will not beat Mayor Estes before the people. If it is of such grave concern that his defeat ought to be compassed in December, the opposition must consolidate under some known leader, and not hope for victory by fusilades in Charleston and Augusta papers. That sort of thing is mere mummery. If the opposition to Mr. Estes is really formidable, and means business, let them show their faith by their works; and the first thing necessary is to throw off all . masquerade attire, don plain citizen’s dress, come out into the field of open debate, furnish tables for the newspaper reporters, and let the campaign begin. If anybody can propose a better plan, we should like to hear from him. Meanwhile, Mr. Estes has nearly every point of advan tage necessary to a re-election, and the most his concealed adversaries can hope is to irritate him, without any cor responding benefit to themselves or their cause. Tit for Tat. The Mobile Register, Hon. John For syte's paper, says: “The South was not originally responsible for the bonded debt. This is true also as to the aboli tion of slavery. Both are consequences of the war. They are among the re sults of the war that the South has ac cepted. The South does not admit itself to be in the position of a conquer ed territory. It claims that of a coequal in the Union. To attempt, therefore, to destroy the value of the bonds would be as clearly an act of bad faith as to try to re-enslave the negro.” Continuing that argument in a circle, suppose we put the case thus : The South was not originally responsible for the war and therefore not responsi ble for the Confederate debt. The debt was a consequence of war. The co equal North, nobody being conquered, must acknowledge that debt, not to speak of payment for illegally emanci pated slaves. To attempt to destroy the Confederate debt and the value of Confederate bonds would be as clearly an act of bad faith as the stealing of a negro and refusing to pay for him. We respectfully ask Hon. John Forsyth to consider that. Then and Boston Post submits the following extract from the diary of John Quincy Adams to Gen. Grant : Mr. Rambebt brought present s of porce lain for my wife, for Charles, another for myself. I refused to receive them, it being a principle which I found necessary to adopt from the first day I became a public man, never to accept for myself or my family a gift while I held a public office. 4 man who would let his old Vicksburg war-horse be bought by a negro has no more high-toned delicacy than a gorilla has appreciation of the songs of Solomon. Changed.— When Butler and Wen dell Phillips howied for vengeance against the South, the pious bondhold ers cried “Amen” and “Amen;” “they speak words of wisdom.” Now that Bctleb and Phillips call for vengeance against these robbers of the poor, they are classified with fools and knaves. “Wo© unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!” The Description of Man. We have received from a very learn ed and worthy friend the following communication : Mu. Editor : I am not so familiar with Shakespeare as you, and would like to find out in what play, act or character he gives the definition of “man,” which in your spicy little editorial you quote, or on what page of what edition of the great poet I can find it. lain aware that a greater poet than Shakespeare did write some ten cen turies and a* half before Shakespeare’s day, in the 139th psalm of the 14th verse: “I will praise Thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” Therefore, if Shakes peare wrote the above quotation, he must either have been as original a thinker as the “Royal Psalmist” or a Plagiarist. X. Y. Z. Our correspondent mistakes an al lusion to Shakespeare’s description of man, in Hamlet: “What a piece of work is man,” etc. —for a quotation from that bard. The words “fearfully and wonderfully made” are from the Psalmist, as our friend declares and proves. In the hurry of composition, wo may have misled the reader by not being sufficiently explicit in our phrase ology. Shakespeare undoubtedly ap propriated much material, in an un equalled way, but it was not our inten tion to bring him out as a plagiarist in the above instance. The Cause of Defeat. —The Balti more Sun thus sums up : An examination of the Ohio election re turns shows that Allen gained over his vote in 1873 in fifty-three counties, princi pally in the rural districts, where newspa pers circulate but little. Hates gained in thirty-three counties, and it is a significant fact that the fight was won in the cities, the larger towns and the populous, intelli gent counties where daily newspapers, good schools and hard money champions got in their best work. Cleveland, T> ledo, Columbus and Cincinnati alone gfcve a Re publican gain of 8,500. It is probable that, had the election taken place before the financial question was thoroughly dis cussed, the State would have gone for Allen by a large majority. In the cities and their vicinity the money power had the best chance to corrupt. It is a poor argument to cast odium upon the yeomanry of a State who, it seems, were largely for Allen. Greeleyism.— The Springfield Repub lican saysj that “the Ohio Republicans are not indebted for their success to Morton, Blaine, Sherman* Dawes, Bout well — the party leaders who have been busy, all these years, apologizing and exteuuat.ng and maintaining an unbro ken front. These men only skirmished around, in a more or less effective man ner, on the edges of the fight. The men who were in the thick of it, lead ing and inspiring it and organizing vic tory, were Halstead, Schurz, Wood ford and Grosvenor— three of them ‘Greeleyites’ of 1872.” Bayard— The Winnsboro News says: ■fthen Senator Bayard in the course of his conversation remarked that Grant was corrupt, that Sherman was a vandal, Bill Allen a demagogue and Butler a scoun dre', we felt like observing “Mister, will you please say that agin, and say it slow?” Senator Bayard will win no laurels by coupling the name of Wm. Allen with those of Grant and Sherman. There is a tendency, in some quarters, to revile that grand old man in his mis fortune, but he is worthy of all honor and respect. A Model Politician. —According to the New York Herald, Hesing, the great German politician of Chicago, goes around about four hours every day promising his support to one set of candidates, and stirs them up to work for him ; and then he goes around the next day to another set and prom ises his utmost support to them, and gets them to work for him ; and then he trusts in God that the two, three or four sets won’t find each other out. ■■ ..i i • What sort of Democracy is that which turns its back upon a Tilden and a Bay ard to run gaping and howling at the heels of a Wendell Phillips and a Ben Butler?— N. Y. World. What sort of Democracy is that which prefers a Radical victory to a Democratic success ? It won’t do to call names on the money question too rashly. In a Trance. —Some New York Spirit ualists, through Mrs. Cora Y. Hatch, called up the “spook” of Judge Ed monds. His honor recited poetry, talked philosophy, etc., but was not permitted by his managers to answer whether “Tammany would win or lose on the county Sisters of Charity and the Swiss Protestant Ladies.— The infamy of the expulsion of the Sisters of Charity from a civilized community has been reserv ed for the Radicals and Infidels of the city of Geneva, in Switzerland. Even the bigotted Mahometan aud ignorant heathen have hesitated, before com mitting the outrage. When the mea sure for the banishment of the Sisters of Charity was under discussion in the conclave of the Radical authorities, six hundred of the most prominent Protes tant ladies, while protesting against the proposed violation of the liberty of occupation and the citizen, close their petition with the following eloquent words: “We do not plead for Catholicism, but we plead for humanity; stay your hand, or a more merciful and civilized posterity will curse you.” Count Your Hours. One person rises in the morniDg at half-past nine, another at six. If each live to be fifty years old, they will have enjoyed 63,875 hours, or 2661 days more than the other. Let us suppose that there are throughout this country 1,500,000 persons who rise at a quarter past nine, or later; of these perhaps 050,000 would, if they rose at six be usefully employed. At this rate, 56,- 316,875,000 hours, or 6,432,291 years of individual improvement, are lost to society every half century. This is supposing that these 950,000 get up at quarter-past nine, whereas some thous ands do not leave their beds*tili eleven or twelve. All this time is uninter rupted day, and composed of hours in which the intellect i3 far clearer and more fit for study than the rest of th* day. I must be remembered, too, that nothing conduces more to health, and consequently to longevity, than early rising. Suppose of the above num ber of persons, 500,000 should live four years longer than they otherwise would have done, viz. fifty-four years instead of fifty, according to the ratio above, here are 2,000,000 more years of actual existence utterly wasted. “You appear in anew role, don’t you, old fellow?” was what the impertinent young man remarked as he dug a cock roach out of his fresh bread at the breakfast table. A roseate flush per meated the landlady’s pallid cheek. SPLINTERS. As the nights begin to lengthen, the gas bill begins to strengthen. “Thejliver is the largest workshop in the body.” It is the “biler” shop.| A book canvasser should never try to interview a woman when she is wash ing. Bass, the British beer man, has 40,000 “drummers,” according to the latest call of the roll. “Come where my love [lies bleeding’ is the title of anew ditty. It is played on a catarrah. First-class Chinese hotels have raised the price of board to twenty-eight cents per day. A female circus performer, Madam Paton, traveling in France, is only 94 years old. “ Goldsmith Maid ” hates to acknowl edge it, but she has reached the 20th year of her age. A Prussian in Dusseldorf killed his wife and daughter because they in dulged in sarcasm on his flaming red hair. Recent headlines: “A Connecticut Tragedy—A Wife’s Life Saved by the Steel of Her Corsets—The Husband’s Suicide.” In “Henry V,” the great gun is thought to be Rignold; the Pistol is Bishop, yet, if we mistake not, a Bishop is greater than a Canon. If men like Byron and Poe could only survive the sowing of their wild oats what blessings they might prove to the world; * There is a man in this city who has never been known to refuse a beggar. The beggar takes two or three squints at him and never asks him. One hundred and forty thousand girls in California are ready to be married, but their fathers do not belong to the bank syndicate. The clerks on the fast mail trains like their business, but are beginning to wonder if the frost will warp the rails, as usual, when winter comes. A Troy woman has had to pay &600 for saying that a neighbor woman’s baby weighed eight pounds, when the neighbor woman didn’t have any baby at all. Be careful of your figures. The old sachem of the Pequot tribe of Connecticut Indians would be aston ished at hearing the snobs at the Pe quot House, New London, call it the “ Pa-ko.” Tennessee saloons are mentioned as “great conveniences to any town.”— When a man wants to get drunk it is good to have things handy.— [Detroit Free Press. The Indians are very thankful for the telegraph poles on the prairie. They formerly had to ride a long distance to find a place to chain a prisoner to while they tortured him. Bats are said to be euemies to mos quitoes. We suppose, then, the only way for a man and his children to sleep quietly is to have a couple of base ball nines in his bedroom. Noisy little boys of Cincinnati are told that right in the centre of the hind hoofs of every live mule there is a little lump of gold, which can be easily dug out with a pen-knife. The other day an unfortunate man, a plasterer by trade, was found on the top of a ladder, sticking to his busi ness. He was moistened with a little beer, and then with difficulty removed to the nearest hospital. “I can’t pay my bills, Jones. I think I shall fail,” said Brown. “What per cent, shall you be able to pay?” said Jones. “I don’t know; what are they paying this fall” said Brown. Comment is unnecessary. Somebody suggests that the Cana dian piiest who objeoted to the ladies of his congregation wearing hoop skirts, because too much was left to the imagination, probably objects to the “pin-back” because it leaves too little. Pshaw ! it’s easy enough to put up stove-pipe. All you have got to do is to put on your kid gloves, take up your cane, and leave word at the tinner’s, and when he gets ready, and can’t think of any other job, and doesn’t want to go fishing, he will put your stove up. Maria Loretta, an Intalian girl, of San Francisco, went to her father and said that GuissipeGalli ought to marry her. Old Loretta was only a vegetable peddler, but he said, “Maria, it is too late to-night to get out a warrant; there is a knife.” And he lay down and went to sleep. Sam—“l say, Jim. how does you like my new sweet of clothes?” Jim— “ Sweet ob clothes. Go ’long! You mean suit of clothes.” Sam—“Go ’long wid you ownself, you black igno ramus ! Don’t folks as knows French say sweet of rooms ? Well, de same am applicable to clothes. Go white wash yerself.” My household gods are all abroad; Their names I scarce remember, And naught is on my hearthstone now, ’Cept ember. And even thus next month shall come, With humor grim and sober, And then what’s standing now will be Rnockt ober! (—Graphic. An officer of the regular army laugh ed at a timid woman because she was alarmed at the noise of the cannon, when a salute was fired. He subse quently married that timid woman, and, six months afterward, he took off his boots in the hall when he came home late at night. One of our milkmen has a boy in his employ that is too honest for the busi ness. When one of his customers ac cused the lad of watering his milk from a brook, he very earnestly assured her that they got the water from a well. — [Springfield Republican. The St. Louis Republican goes to the trouble of originating the following: She sent her husband down town after some red dye-stuff and he got cochineal, which wasn’t what she wanted. She told him so and he got mad, and when she insisted upon his going again he got madder, which was what she want ed in the first place. A PMladelphia man has discovered that a house may be heated by reflec tion. We hail the discovery with joy, and hope to see the time when every man may sit down and reflect a few burning thoughts to warm up his dom icil for the day, and then go down town and dance a jig of exultant defi ance before the office door of the starv ing coal dealer. The other evening, when Harper’s train was approaching Lockiand, it parted in the middle, and the bell rope snapped off like a thread, the end of it striking an old lady from Jasper on her bonnet and setting her nerves to play. “ What on earth’s the matter ?” she ex claimed. “Oh, the train’s broke in two,” replied a gentleman who sat in the next seat. “ Ugh! I should say so,” the old lady said, looking at the broken bell cord. “Did they s’pose such a nasty, trifling little string like that would hold the train together?” Thomas Haviant, a wealthy French tradesman„has probably left the most remarkable frill on record. Among the number of singular bequests was one instituting at the annual village fete a race with pigs ridden by boys or men. The rider of the winning pig was to have a prize of S4OO, on condition that he wear mourning for the deceased during two years after the race. The municipality accepted the bequest, and the race was held according to the con ditions. Such a man would be very popular in East Washington. SPECIAL NOTICES. A.*. A.'.

The season is just commencing, and the merchants of Au gusta, who get the benefit of the larger part of the custom of these visitors, will find it greatly to their interest to culti vate this patronage by advertising their goods. Contracts can bo made with the Lkibune at the rate of fifty cents per square (one linear inch) for the first inser tion, twenty-live cents per square for each subsequent insertion for two months, and fifteen cents per square for all inser tions in exce s of that time. No extra charge for fortnightly changes in adver tisements. Capt. John W. Moore, of the Aiken ac commodation traiD, is authorized to re ceive advertisements and subscriptions. octlOsutu&th-lm 1875. 1875. FALL OPENING. MRS.
