WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 13, 1874.
priety of having their outside editions
ready made, like a suit of half worn
old clothes. About time all our coun
try friends began to think the same
way.
Just think, if you swear off using to
bacco and wearing clothes after the
first of January you can save $5 a week
at least, and $5 per week for 1,000 years
is $260,000!
On December 27th large numbers of
policemen watched in the Faubourg
St. Honore, Paris, nearly a whole day,
to arrest the Prince Imperial, who was
at Woolwich all the time. They had
been fooled.
A juryman was asked whether he
had been charged by the Judge.—
“ Well, said he, “ the fellow that sits
up in the pulpit and stares' at the
crowd, gave us a lecture, but I don’t
know whether he charged anything or
not.”
In the German postal service an or
der has just been issued directing that
certain words derived from the French,
such as poste restante, shall no longer
be officially used, and defining what
German words shall be the equivalents
of these.
Iu Machigan, the Senatorial contest
takes the phase of Chandler and anti-
Chandler. He is working like a beaver
against large odds, and though the
majority is unquestionably against
him, yet it seems that he may win for
want of a really strong opponent.
The Troy Times relates this: A
young lady in a neighboring village ac
cepted an invitation from a young gen
tlemen to ride, and when the gentle
man came with his horse and buggy,
the lady found it impossible to get iu,
so closely had she adhered to the pre
vailing fashion of drawing her dress
tightly about her. She asked to be ex
cused, and going into the house, let
out two or three reefs in her dress,
when she was enabled to get into the
buggy.
The Sunday Chronicle places the in
debtedness of the District of Columbia
at the enormous figure of $29,375,537.-
69. This is a debt of about four dol
lars per head on every man, woman
and child that the last census credits
to the District. Of the report of the
Commissioners to the President, dated
December sth, 1874, tho same paper
says: *• It is one of the most extraor
dinary documents ever issued from
such high official source, as far as an
artful arrangement of figures, the re
sort to a wholesale suppression of lia
bilities and an unbounded inflation is
concerned.” In other words, the Chron
icle charges the Commissioners with
falsifying records to conceal rascality.
lire Los Angela Herald records the
fact that a company has been formed
in that city for the purpose of raising
eucalyptus trees for fuel aud manufac
turing purposes. Two hundred acres
of land have been secured within a
mile, on which eucalyptus trees only
four and a half years old from seed are
now growing, which measure sixteen
inches in diameter and are forty feet
high. It is estimated that each one of
these trees is worth one dollar for fuel,
and more for manufacturing purposes.
Foresters calculate that six hundred of
these trees can be grown to the acre,
and it requires no great calculation to
show how profitable such a business
may be made. The company organized
in Los Angelos propose purchasing
land at 30 per acre, and the cost of
seed, planting, etc., will probably aver
age 25 cents to the tree. The total for
the 600 trees and the acre of land will
thus reach about SIBO, or, say S2OO.
At the end of four years, supposing the
trees to succeed as the average do, the
timber will be worth S6OO. And as these
trees stump and sprout rapidly, an
other such yield of timber may be ex
pected in four years more.
The Jewish Messenger says : We take
pleasure in referring to the merits of
the Rothschild family, not because they
are wealthy, but for the simple reason
that in spite of their wealth they strive
to be useful to their kind. The men
are immersed in business ; they are
charitable, but the people will say that
it is easy to bo charitable if you are
rich. The women aro public spirited,
intelligent, and warm hearted, founding
hospitals, reformatories, children’s
homes, endowing scholastic institu
tions, encouraging struggling profes
sionals, and taking a personal interest
iu the doings of the poor. Baroness
Lionel makes weekly visits in the
meanest portions of London, brighten
ing the home of the Jewish artisan,
giving her good counsel to the earnest
teachers of the free schools, the ma
trons aud assistants of the various
charities. The and <,ughter of Alphonse,
of Paris, teaches a good lesson to her
sisters in faith, and to rich young ladies
of every creed, by receiving a well de
served diploma as a teacher. Auslem’s
daughter, in Vienna, is prominent in
music, not only composing songs that
attain popularity, but aiding struggling
musicians by pen and purse.
A remedy named “aqua puncture”
has been introduced in France for the
treatment of neuralgia. It may be de
scribed as a force pump, which can be
carried about and placed on a table,
with a small flexible tube about two
feet long, so constructed as to deliver a
thread of water from its extremity with
such force as to pierce leather. In op
erating on a patient afflicted with neu
ralgia, the piston is worked a few times
to expel the air from the tube, the
point is then held about half an inch
from the painful spot, the pump is
worked, and the thread of water plavs
on the skin. Presently a white vesicle
appears on the spot where the water
strikes ; any number of punctures may
be made at the discretion of the op
erator and iu proportion to tho extent
of the pain. At first the skin around
the vesicles becomes red, but after a
few hours the vesicles and the redness
disappear, leaving only a small black
point, which is the crust formed by the
drying of a drop of blood in the punc
ture. The operation is described as
painful, but the relief it produces is so
great that patients always call for a
repetition whenever their neuralgic
pains return.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Gordon the Rising Man—Bayard’s
Grand Defense of Liberty—Grant
“ Breaking the D—d Party to
Pieces.”
Washington, D. C., January 9,1875.
If you had sat by my side in the Sen
ate gallery yesterday, when Senator
Gordon replied to Morton’s slanderous
attack on Georgia; if you had seen, as
I did, the manly form of our chivalric
Senator, and li eard r his sonorous voice
as he stood in his place and demolish
ed, with the eloquence of truth and the
fervor of an earnest patriotism, the
Radical Ajax of the Senate, and tri
umphantly vindicated his State from
the calumnious charges and insinua
tions aga’nst her, you would have felt,
in common with me and, I think, the
iarge majority of those in the crowded
gallery, proud that the South had such
a representative on tho floor of the
Senate chamber—one who had both
the courage and the ability to meet
and vanquish herdefamers. You would
have felt, too, with me, all the
prouder that this representative was a
Georgian. Within the past few days
Senator Gordon has met in debate Ed
munds and Morton, the two ablest
Radicals in the Senate, and the result
has utterly refuted the oft repeated as
sertions and insinuations from envious
sources that the South had sent no one
to Congress able to cope with these
Radical leaders. The speech of Sena
tor Gordon last Wednesday has elicited
high commendation from all sources
exeept'the enemies of peace and liberty
and Union. A distinguished states
man—one of the most eminent in the
country—was heard to say, after read
ing the speech, that “Gordon was de
veloping wonderfully.” His speech is
prudeut, earnest, completely non-parti
san, breathes a spirit of patriotism as
broad as the continent, shows an earn
est, unmistakable desire for peace and
fraternal feeling between all the States
and the citizens of every State, and
is altogether admirable. I sent you a
copy of It by last night’s mail, and be
lieve you will gratify your readers by
giving it to them in full. I send you
also a copy of the speech of Senator
Bayard, of Delaware, delivered yester
day. Not having to confine himself so
much, as Senator Gordon had, to a de
fense of his own section from direct
charges of lawlessness, murder and as
sassination, Mr. Bayard’s speech was
therefore broader and more compre
hensive in its scope, and may be set
down as the ablest, most thorough and
masterly effort in behaif of constitu
tional liberty heard In the Senate
Chamber since the war began. Read
his speech, and then say if you do not
join me in the wish that he may be the
next President of the United States.
The forthcoming message of the
President in answer to the resolution
of inquiry from the Senate concerning
Louisiana is looked for with the utmost
anxiety. It is regarded as the most
important one that has ever yet been
called forth from a President of the
United States. A crisis is upon the
Republican party and the country, and
the destiny of both will be most ma
terially affected by the coming message,
which the wires will probably have
flashed to you ere this reaches you.—
There is undoubtedly great dissatisfac
tion among the Republican leaders here
in regard to Louisiana affairs, and
especially as to Sheridan’s course. As
one considerable sized straw I wifi re
late what took place to-day at the
office of the Secretary of the
Treasury. A couple of gentlemen
called at the Secretary’s office
and found him engaged at the
time with some who had called previ
ously. While waiting for their turn,
Senator Carpenter came in, and in a
quick, impetuous manner, called the
Secretary to one side for a private con
ference, during which the Senator was
observed to be apparently very much
out of humor, in fact, even petulant, so
much so that he “ ejaculated ” several
good, square oaths, in a tone loud
enough to be heard across the room
and the words, “ break the d—d party
all to pieces,” were quite distinctly
heard to fall from the Hon. Senator’s
lips, who, indeed, did not seem to care
much who heard him. The Secretary
asked the gentlemen waiting on him if
they could as conveniently call next
Monday, to which they responded af
firmatively, and left him and the Sena
tor alone. Undoubtedly, there is
trouble iu the camp !

AUGUSTA, GA„ WEDNESDAY MORNING. JANUARY 13, 1875.
[(Troy) New York Press,
ULYSSES’ PROCLAMATION.
A Thrilling but Satisfactory Docu
ment—He Declares Certain Citizens
of the State of Louisiana to be Ban
ditti, and Orders Them to be Exe
cuted!
At great expense we have procured
from Washington a copy of President
Grant’s proclamation, issued in accor
dance with the views of that distin
guished lawyer, P. H. Sheridan, and
and the same is published exclusively
in the Troy Press :
Whereas, It has been represented to
me by Lieutenant General P. H. Sheri
dan, now commanding the military di
vision of the Missouri, that “ defiance
to the law ” exists in the State of
Louisiana, and whereas such “ defiance
to the law ” consists, as it is also rep
resented to me.
1. In contemning the person and re
sisting the authority of William Pitt
Kellogg, Governor of Louisiana, whom
I elected to that office myself :
2. Iu contemning the parson and re
sisting the authority of a body known
as the Kellogg Legislature, which I
also elected myself.
3. In contemning the person and re
sisting the authority of one Stephen B.
Packard, Marshal of the District of
Louisiana, whom I appointed to that
office.
4. In contemning and generally de
spising one Jas. F. Casey, Collector of
the port of New Orleans, who is a
brother-in-law of mine.
5. In complaining of excessive tax
ation, and accusing my friends of steal
ing the public money, when it is noto
rious that they have no way of getting
a living but by stealing.
6. In a general hatred of thieyes,
which, in a state ruled by my particular
friends, is the strongest evidence of re
sistance to lawful authority.
7. In denunciation of tho election
law and the State Returning Board,
which were both manufactured in or
der to enable a minority of my sup
porters to govern a majority of my op
ponents.
8. In forming armed “white leagues”
when it is well known that it is my
pleasure that nothing but “black
leagues ” shall ex%t in the Southern
States.
And whereas, The Constitution of
the United States has been supposed
to provide that the people may peace
fully assemble and petition for redress
of grievances. And also that the right
of the people to keep and bear arms
shall not be infringed.
And whereas, I am advised by the
Attorney General that these two clauses
adply only to citizens .of African de
scent.
And whereas, I am advised by the
Hon. P. H. Sneridan, an eminent law
yer, now of New Orleans, that I may
by proclamation declare any persons
obnoxious to me to be “ banditti,” aud
direct them to be shot or otherwise
executed, without further ceremony.
And whereas, The said P. H. Sheri
dan has publicly said that “there is
law for it son ewhere,” and whereas T
don’t know but there is, aud it seems
reasonable; and whereas I have re
cently telegraphed to the said P. H.
Sheridan that I had “ every confidence
in him and approved his course.”
Now, therefore, I, Ulysses Simpson
Grant, President of the United States,
by the advice of said P. 11. Sheridan,
and under the war power, do publish
this, my proclamation, and do hereby
declare that all persons in the said
State of Louisiana who do not heartily,
earnestly and without mental reserva
tion, support the government of the
said William Pitt Kellogg, are, and the
same are hereby made, constituted and
appointed BANDITTI, and I do hereby
authorize and empower the said Lieu
tenant General P. H. Sheridan and any
other man wearing shoulder straps
(whether his own or borrowed) to arrest
such banditti wherever they may be
found, and to shoot, stab, behead,
drown, draw, quarter, disembowel, or
otherwise slaughter such banditti, and
thus stop their grumbling about their
taxes aud render them peaceful citizens
and contented with the government of
the said William Pitt Kellogg.
In order that the said Gen. Sheridan
and his subordinates may not molest
any of my friends, the following rules
are promulgated for their guidance :
1. A white skin, straight hair and
tolerably regular features are presump
tive proof that a person is a bandit.
2. An intelligent countenance should
never go unquestioned. The probabil
ity that its owner is a bandit is over
whelming.
3. Any person who is a clergyman,
teacher, physician, lawyer, merchant or
other business man shall be consider -
ered a bandit.
4. Any person who can read, write or
cipher shall be considered a bandit, un
less he can prove to the satisfaction of
the officer arresting him that he has
been indicted for crime.
5. Any person with a good education
shall be treated as a bandit without
benefit of clergy.
6. Any person owning real estate is
hereby declared a bandit, unless he
cun prove that it was bought at a tix
sale with money taken from the State
Treasury.
7. Possession of personal property to
the amount of ten dollars or over shall
be proof that the owner is a bandit,
unless he can show that it was stolen.
8. Any person who has heretofore
borne a good character shall be deemed
a bandit until the contrary is proved.
9. Persons with black skins, woolly
hair and Ethiopian features, shall not
be considered bandits unless shown to
havo voted the Conservative ticket.
10. Persons convicted of crime or in
dieted therefor shall in no ease bo con
sidered bandits, and for tho purpose of
this rule a pardon from Gov. Kellogg
shall be deemed additional proof of
guilt. Any person may claim the ben
efit of this rule who can prove to the
entire satisfaction of the officer arrest
ing him that he ought to have been
convicted of some crime, and satisfac
tory evidence that the party so arrest
ed voted the Republican ticket at the
last election shall be sufficient proof of
such liability.
And I hereby enjoin the said Lieu
tienant General Sheridan to be vigilant
and energetic in this great duty of sift
ing the chaff from tho wheat, so that
the population of Louisiana may, as
soon as possible, consist entirely of ne
groes and thieves, and give a unani
mous support to my administration.

COTTON.
Friday, January B—P M.
We compile the following regarding the
cotton market from the daily reports of the
Augusta Exchange:
'I he weather during the week has been
very inclement—cold and rainy each day—
which, in a manner, caused a curtailment
of business. There has been a considera
ble falling off in the receipts and sales com
pared with the last and previous weeks,
while prices were advanced from % to %
on good grades. The receipts at the ports
have also fallen off greatly, which had the
effect of giving a better tone to the mar
ket.
Saturday our market was quiet with
rather lower prices than prevailed at the
close of last week. Good Ordinary, 12;
Low Middling, 13%, and Middling 13%.
Monday it was steady with a good demand,
light offerings and better prices; Good Or

advance of %@% quoted; Middling, 14—

Augusta, Friday, January 8,1875.
As usual just after Christmas, and also
owing to very bad weather, business du
ring the week has been extremelv dull.—
Many planters and others at any distance
from the city were prevented from coming
to market by the weather. While clouds
still overspread the sky, we yet hope that
fair weather will prevail in a day or two,
and that next week trade will become again
active.
But slight changes have occurred in any
leading articles we quote. Tho trade in
Fertilizers is now about opening, but no
important sales have yet made made.

% one General Agent in each State, for
The Clirisitia.ii Age,

printed, unsectional, unsectarian, a record
of CUristian Thought, Effort and Progress;
of Current Literature and News; of Finance
and Commerce. It is to supply all Cris
tian Families througnout the enuntry just
such a metropolitan paper as they need.
Our Editor-in-Chief,
CHARLES F. DEEMS, D- D.,
is so widely known as a ripe scholar, an el
oquent and popular Divine, an earnest
worker in the cause of Christ, and as the
possessor of the highest order of Literary
ability, that liis name is a tower of strength
to our enterprise; and supported by the
eminent and efficient corps of assistants
that he has called to his aid, we have no
hesitation Inasserting that, in point of Edi
torial excellence, we shall puolish a sur
passingly Christian Newspaper. We
shall endeavor to make each weekly issue
transcend its predecessor
DR. DEEMS’ SERMONS.
It Is proposed to publish once a month
or oftener, a full report or abstract of a
Sermon or Lecture b> Rev. Dr. Deems.
Thus the thousands from dinerent parts of
the land who crowd the “Church of the
Strangers” will have a memorial of the
service which they attended, or the repro
duction of some other discourse from the
same preacher. The CHRISTIAN AGE is
furnished at $3 a year, and to each sub
scriber is given the great Historical En
graving :
THE FOUNDERS AND PIONEERS OF
METHODISM.
It contains 250 portraits of leading Meth
odists in ail parts of the world, and in all
its branches; artistically arranged in an
oval picture, for the walls of the drawing
room.
We want only active Agents, those who
Atlll do the work thoroughly. We give ex
clusive control of territory, and do not wish
to Avaste our Held upon poor agents, and
will insist upon active Avork, regular and
prompt reports, and a strict following of
our terms and instructions; and if this is
done, there is no business you can engage
in, with anything like the same capital, and
make as much money, in these times, or
make it as easily. We give as much terri
tory as an agent can handle to advantage,
ana give the territory desired and called
for, so far as we can. Terms, Circulars, etc.
sent to any address.
If you want to make money, try it f
Remittances by Mail should be made by
Registered Letters or Drafts, or Post Office
