Firemen’s Ball.
The sixth annual Hall of the Augusta Indepen

last evening, at the Augusta Hotel. It was an in
clement night, but balls come so seldom that the
ladies and gentlemen were not disposed to allow
the occasion to pass without enjoying it. The mu
sic and duncing were kept up to a late hour—-the
supper was fine—good humor prevailed, and at a
later hour than we indite these lines, the company
were enjoying themselves.
Rev. John A. McClung.
We learn that the Rev. John- A. McCluno, Pastor
elect of the First Presbyterian Church of this city,
has resigned his pastoral charge, in consequence of
continued ill-health. He resides in Indianapolis,
Indiana, and has never yet regularly entered upon
his duties as pastor, although he has temporarily
officiated at the sacred desk in this citv. The
Reverend gentleman is regarded as a learned and
eloquent divine, and much regret is expressed at
the cause which has deprived the Church of the
teachings of so able and exemplary a gentleman.

Singular Scene in an English Church. —The

a deleterious gas issued into the body of the churel.
during the morning service on a recent Sabbath.
Y'oung children being nearest the floor, were first
affected, and about twenty of them followed one
another out before the adults took the alarm. At
about the middle of the sermon the congregation
rose in a body and went out, to the apparent as
tonishment of the preacher, who, in his elevated
pulpit, was unaware of the mischief. He was left
entirely alone in the church; and it is the opinion
of the medical men that it' the congregation had
staid fifteen minutes longer, no one would have
been able to help himself or bis neighbor, and
many must have perished.
Death or the Rigmt Rev. Bishop Brown. —
This eminent prelate, Roman Catholic Bishop of
Liverpool, recently expired at his residence in that

He was remarkable, during his college career, as
a writer of sweet and classical Latin ; and he af
terwards became Prelect, and then Vice-President
of the College and Professor of Theology.

7b the Editor of the Constitutionalist :
lion. A. 11. Stephens.
The most inattentive observer of the political !
events of the country must conclude that we are on
the verge of a dissolution. It will require all the
patriotism of the country to prevent this great j
calamity. The next Presidential nomination will j
have much to do with the fate of this country po
litically. If we can bring forward the proper per
sons as our candidates for the Presidency and
Vice Presidency, it may be a blessing to our insti
tutions. It is conceded, I believe, that the candi
date for the Vice Presidency will be given to the
South. There is no man whose nomination would,
in nty judgment, tend more to calm the waters of
strife than that of Alex ander H. Stephens. If he
be placed on the ticket with Buchanan, it may be
the means of preserving and perpetuating the po
litical institutions of the country. Harris.
To the Elitor of the Constitutionalist :
The proposition, “Xo Subscription shall be made
in any case without the previous concurrence of a
majority of the legal voters in said city,” taken by
itself is plain enough, but the words “as hereinaf
ter designated" appended to it, fixes its meaning
very clearly.
It was evidently th e design of the Legislature to
make the proposition so plain and intelligible that
there could not be any misunderstanding or mis
construction; therefore in the first place they des
ignated that the rotes and returns were to be taken
and made as in the election of Mayor and mem
bers of Council. Then they designated that the
time of voting should be fixed by Council. Then
they designated that three days notice should be
given. And finally they designated that a majority
of votes should authorize the Council to make the
subscription.
In all this there is no incongruity or mystifica
tion, as there might have been under a simple un
explained statement of the proposition on its being
made a law.
In conformity to the law, the question of concur
rence was submitted to the whole of the one thou
sand and ninety voters of the city, and their response
was to be and was made last Saturday. On that
occasion the pollls were opened and seven hun
dred and eighty-nine of the voters voluntarily ox
otherwise, came forward, and, by voting, became
the legal voters first mentioned. Three hundred
and one did not vote, and as there was no law
which prevented them from doing so, there could
uot be any question as to the legal or illegal posi
tion assumed by them. Os the seven hundred
and eighty-nine, unquestionably legal voters, four
hundred and twelve voted for the subscription,
and they were a majority of the legal voters con
templated in the proposition, and their votes were
a majority of the votes.
It cannot be contended that a “majority of
the legal voters” is synonymous with “majority of
votes,” not only because the law would not have
been made more imperative or intelligible by the
mere repetition of words meaning the same thing,
but because the latter was necessary to designate
the true meaning of the former. Suppose the
whole one thousand and ninety votes had been
polled, and of them four hundred and twelve were
for the subscription, three hundred and seventy
seven for no subscription and three hundred and
one for subscription with conditions, or blank,
then, according to the term “majority of votes"
there could be no doubt as to the concurrence of
a majority of the legal voters, and although four
hundred and twelve would not have been a majori
ty of the whole, it is a r/utjority of the votes as re
quired by the Legislature. Pilqarlic.
To the Editor of the Constitutionalist:
If it had been the intention of the Legislature
(which by the way was remarkable for reconsider
ing its acts,) to make the authority of the City
Council to subscribe for certain railroad stocks,
dependant upon the concurrence of a majority, two
thirds or three fourths, or the unanimous vote of
all the voters of the City of Augusta, there w ould
not have been any difficulty whatever in so ex
pressing it. It would have been as easy to sav,
“ Xo subscription shall be made in any case with
out the previous concurrence of all the voters in
said city,” as “ Xo subscription shall be made in
any case without the previous concurrence of a
majority of the legal voters of said city.” Both ex
pressions appear to me to be good and plain Eng
lish, but I consider their meaning entirely differ
ent, marked and unmistakable. If the first had been
used, there could not have been any reasonable
doubt as to the necessity of having five hundred
and forty-six votes in favor of the subscription to
authorize the action of Council. The second,
however, is the expression used in the act, and i!
appears to me equally clear that any number of
votes, being a majority of the votes polled, is its
true meaning.
The definition of the word voter, is one who has
a right to vote, and the word legal, preceding it,
could have been dispensed with, if it had not been
intended to indicate the action of the votes. The
right of voting is secured hv one thousand and
ninety of our citizens, under the registry law's, and
so long as they exercise that right, they are legal
I voters : but if they refuse to exercise that right, as
there is no law requiring them to do or not to do so,
i they are simply nothing more or less than voters.
j In the last, and in all future city elections, the re
| gistry law was and will be effectual in excluding
I illegal voters; and, therefore, at the polls, without
! which there can be no election, there cannot be
i any other than legal votes; that is to say. votes
actually entered thereon by the managers in con
formity to law, under which the voter presents
himself for the exercise of his right to vote.
The three hundred and one voters who, under
“higher law,” or some other rule of action than the
I law s of the land, refused to vote on Saturday, can
! have no claim whatever to be legal voters, and for
the purposes of that election were defunct, and
might as well have been dead and buried.

Alexandrian Library.
To the Editor of the Constitutionalist:
“ The philosopher Philoponos requested permis
sion of the conqueror to preserve the royal library,
a treasure in Ids opinion inestimable, but con
temptible in that of the barbarians. The well
known answer of Omar was inspired by the igno
rance of a devotee: ‘lf,’ savs lie, ‘these writings
of the Greeks agree with the book of God, they
are useless, and need not be preserved; if they
disagree, they are pernicious, and ought to be de
stroyed.’ The sentence was executed w'itli blind
obedience; the volumes of parchment or paper
were distributed to the four thousand baths of the
city, and such was their incredible multitude, that
■ ix months were barely sufficient for the consump
tion of the precious fuel.”
The above is furnished as an illustration of the
style of argument used by a correspondent of the
Chronicle if; Sentinel, on Tuesday last.
Ci tiLEy Q.
Government of the Semiuoles.
The Florida Sews gives the following information
regarding the government of the Seminole Indians:
Like that of most of the Indian tribes, the gov
ernment of the Semiuoles is a limited monarchy,
being invested in a principal Chief or King, who
is controlled by a council of the Chiefs and princi
pal men of the nation. The nominal ruler now' is
llu-lat-to Miko, or the Blue King, familiarly known
as Billy Bowlegs, but lus authority is very much
restricted, the actual head of the nation being Ar
puika, or Sam Jones, who, though one hundred and
three years old, and blind, still exercises a might v
voice in the Council, and one that, report savs, is
invariably opposed to Bowlegs. Billy, it is said, is
now, and has been for a long time past, in favor of
emigration, but Sam Jones is determined to die in
Florida, and vows eternal hostility to the whites;
and it is supposed, upon authority, that the late at
tack upon the United States troops was at his iu
siigation.
Some one writing to the Xew \ ork Tribune, from
which the foregoing facts were directed, added the
following:
“Billy Bowlegs, like many of his more civilized
brethren, is entirely uuuer the control of petticoat
government. He has a sister noted for her sagaci
ty, eloquence, and unyielding hostility to all at
tempts at emigration, and who is in many respects
a most remarkable woman. The fast friend and
ally of Sam Jones, she rules the weak and vascil
latlng King of the tribe with an iron hand. We
are assured that had it not been for her, the Indi
ans would long since have consented to leave the
country. Os course, she has no voice at the coun
cil lire; but she has other means of influencing
her followers, and, like some other women, she
leaves no means untried to accomplish her favorite
ends.”

Worms J Worms ! —A great many learn
ed treatises have been written, explaining the
origin of, and classifying the worms generated in
the human system. Scarcely any topic of medical
science has elicited more acute observation and
profound research; and yet physicians are verv
much divided in opinion on the subject. It must
be admitted, however, that, after all, a mode of ex
pelling these worms, and purifying the body from
their presence, is of more value than the wisest
disquisitions as to the origin. The expelling agent
has at length been found— Dr. AT Lane's Vermi

sought after specific, and has already superseded
all worm medicines, its efficacy being universally

Cure,” for whoever tries it is cured, and it has

It is impossible that so many thousands should
entertain a similar opinion, unless it were based
upon actual fact, and there is no question as to the
certainty with which this remedy subdues Fever

its curative properties, it also acts with singular
efficacy as a preventive, and its occasional use will
protect any resident or traveller in the most un

GEORGIA MEDICATED SOAP.
The Empire State of the South still ahead in JUv
Improvements.
THUS article will compare favora
bly with any of like character
in the known world.
1 find that by putting it in the form Iggffly
of a Soap it gives it a decided ad van
tage over any Balm, Salve, Liniment,
or Ointment that can be made for the cure of dis
eases herein enumerated ; it also prevents its vir
tues from being impaired by age or climate, and
renders it very convenient for use.
Its action is prompt, and at the same time harm
less, as it contains no mercurial or other prepara
tion injurious to the patient. This article, there
fore, being highly medicated, will cure Ulcers,
Cuts, Flesh Wounds, Ring and Tetter Worm, Piles,
Erysipelas, Scald Head, Itch, Nettle Rash, Sab
Rheum, Chilblain, Prickly Heat, Scurvy, Sore
Eves, Bone Felons, Old Sores, Sore Nipples, Ac.,
extract scurf and dandruff from the head, thereby
preventing premature baldness. It is also one of
the best remedies for Burns or Scalds, and will
cure the Fistula and Scratches in horses; extract
tar, paint and grease from clothing, and is also a
superior dentrifice to the teeth. FoFshaving soap,
it forms a rich lather, softening the beard, and
curing such sores as may be on the face.
In the cure of all the enumerated diseases, and
particular old sorts, this soap has proved a balm
indeed, by its wonderful healing powers.
1 can procure certificates innumerable were it
necessary, but believing that a single cake is only
requisite to prove its efficacy as above stated, and
wishing to avoid everything like hiimbuggerv, !
leave it to those who will give it a fair trial, not
doubting they will then declare this to be the tie
plus ultra of the age in the healing art.

H. G. FARRELL'S “
CELEBRATED ARABIAN LINIMENT
SS well known to possess the most wonderfully
. healing, penetrating and stimulating properties,
and by its promptness in effecting cures, which
previously had resisted all other medicines, ad
ministered by the most scientific physicians, has
placed it far beyond any similar remedy ever in
troduced to the people of the United States. It
stimulates the absorbents to increased action, and
thus enables nature to throw off disease— it pent
trates to the hones, adding strength and activity to
the muscles it is powerfully anodyne and thereby
aliaps ner cents irritation, producing a delightfully
phasing sensation through the whole frame. Owing
to its remarkable anticeptic properties, it purities
and neutralizes that poisonous, corrosive principle
which renders old ulcerous sores so difficult to heal;
it therefore is peculiarly adapted to their speedv
cure. This Liniment from its penetrating and
strengthening qualities has been found to be a spe
cific for Paralysis or Palsy, Whiteswellings and
diseased joints, and in fact all comohiints invol
ving the muscular system. It has cured cases of
Rheumatism of twenty to thirty years’ standing,
and affections of the Spine wherein the entire spi
nal column was so crooked and distorted, that the
patient could not walk or stand without artificial
support. Numerous cases of Palsy have been
cured when the tiesh had withered, leaving nothing
but the dried skin and bone, and the limbs totally
without use or feeling. For Children -with Cretin
it is of inestimable value, rubbed and bathed over
tin? throat and chest. If applied freely on the chest
it never fails to give relief in the severe Cough* at
tending Consumption, Asthma and Colds. It heals
wounds speedily—will cure Scaldheud, Mange, etc.
Planters and Farmers will find it a most valuable
medicine to be applied to Horses and Cattle for
Sprains, Bruises, Lameness, Stiff Joints, Sweenev,
Dry Shoulder, Wounds, Burns, Splint, Chafes or
Galls, Hardened Knots on the flesh, etc.
Lookout for Counterfeits!
The public arc cautioned against another coun
terfeit, which has lately made its appearance, called
W. B. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment, the most dan
gerous of all file counterfeits, because his having
the name of Farrell, many will buy it in good
faith, without the knowledge that a counterfeit ex
ists, and they will perhaps only discover their error
when the spurious mixture has wrought its evil
effects.
The genuine article is manufactured only bv 11.
G. Farrell, sole inventor and proprietor, and whole
sale druggist, No. 17 Main street, Peoria, Illinois,
to whom all applications for Agencies must be ad
dressed. Be sure you get it with the letters 11. G. be

signature on the wrapper, all others are counter
