investigate and report upon any charges of
•fraud or malfeasance in office on the part of
registrars, managers, or other officers connect
ed with the registration or the receiving of bal
lots ; and in cases where frauds are detected,
or where, from the evidence submitted, the
board are of opinion that from any cause the
election should be set aside, their report, with
evidence and facts, will be presented to the
Major General commanding.
111. The attention of the board is particular
ly directed to the revision ot the registration
during the five days preceding the election, and
it will examine into the causes assigned by
registrars for striking off' names ; comparing
the same with the statements of those whose
names have been stricken off. In any case ot
abuse of authority, or insufficient reasons
given on the part of registrars, the board will

Meeting of the South Carolina I.egisla
ture. —The Columbia Phoenix, of Thursday
last, says :
Final arrangements were concluded yester
day afternoon for the assembling of the Legis
lature, in Columbia, on Tuesday, the 12th inst.
Janney’s Hall has been secured by the Gover
nor, and workmen are already employed in al
; tering'and adapting it to their purpose. The
! Senate will meet on the first floor, and the
House of Representatives in the second story.
I Suitable committee rooms have also been pro
j vided. AU the necessary accommodations for
i the members have been arranged. It will
I doulrless be a very long session, as an unusual
amount of work win have to l.e attended to.
The Fourteenth Article— The Re
publicans of Congress hold that the consti
tutional amendment, upon which they
swept the country in the State elections of
1866, known as article fourteen, has been
duly ratified by the necessary three-fourths
of the States represented ‘in the General
Government. In each house, we believe,
the subject is In the hands of the Judiciary
Committee, with authority to report the
ratification. The present Secretary of
State, Mr. Seward, has not proclaimed the
ratification, because he holds, with Presi
dent Johnson, that the endorsement of
three-fourths of all the States inside and
outside of Congress is necessary. With
Mr. Wade in Mr. Johnson’s place, how
ever, we shall doubtless hat ea Secretary of
Mr. Wade’s way of thinking on this amend
ment, and consequently, under a Secretary
of this sort, we shall have the right to look
for his proclamation of the ratification of
this fourteenth article, making it, to all in
tents and purposes, part and parcel of the
Constitution of the United States. But
here is the difficulty: This amendment,
among other things, provides that each
State for itself shall regulate the law of
the elective franchise, subject to this con
dition ; that in proportion to the exclusion
of any portion of the people from the suf
frage on account of race, color, &c., the
enumeration of the people for representa
tion in Congress shall be correspondingly
reduced. This knocks universal negro suf
frage on the head, North and South ; and
so the question is, if turned over into his
hands, what will “Old Ben Wade” do
witii tliis duly ratified amendment? He
cannot shirk it without shirking a consti
tutional duty, and lie cannot meet it with
out knocking the bottom out of the recon
structed Radical tub.—W. K Herald.
The Remains of Gen. Semmes. —The
body of General Paul J. Semmes, who fell
gallantly fighting on the disastrous battle
ground of Gettysburg, in 1863, was re-in
terred in our city cemetery yesterday after
noon. A very large procession followed
the remains to the burying ground—his old
comrades, the survivors of the Columbus
Guards, and the members of the old City
Light Guards, forming a prominent part of
the funeral procession. A long line of car
riages and a great many citizens on foot
accompanied the remains to their final rest
ing place.
Os the appearance of General Semmes’
corpse when brought to this city, the Sun
& Times says:
“In the afternoon large numbers of la
dies and gentlemen visited the church.
For a few the metallic plate placed over
the face of the illustrious dead was removed.
Though buried nearly five years, the face
could be easily recognized. The lineaments
of the features, the moustache, and the gen
eral outlines, as well as the expression,
were very natural; there’s but little change.
The body of the General, it is well remein
beryd, was buried in a metallic coffin in the
grounds surrounding a church in Martins
burg, Va. Dr. Fogle, who went after the
remains, found no difficulty in procuring or
transmitting them. At the head of the
grave was a simple head-board announcing
the name, witii rank, and the date of death.
The handsome silver plate now on the cof
fin was procured by the Doctor in Balti
more. Our dead in Virginia, Maryland and
Pennsylvania are all cared for.”
[ CWwnzJws Enquirer, 26th.
A Spirited Preacher. —The Judd di
vorce case, in Hartford, continues to devel
op many amusing features. Our readers
will remember Sperry, Mr. Judd’s friend.—
“ I spoke,” says Mrs. Judd, “ to Rev. Bur
ton Sherry about my treatment, and he be
gan singing a negro melody, beginning
‘Up Zion’s Hill,’ and concluded by imita
ting a lame man at the depot.” Lest we
should suppose from this that Sperry is a
Spartan, and obdurate to the wishes and
woes of beauty in general, we have the tes
timony of a servant to the line of conduct
quite contrary pursued by Sperry towards
Susannah, on whom, indeed, the affections
and attentions of both tlie elders seem to
have converged. This behavior, indeed, so
far from indicating extreme austerity,
seems almost to transcend the trammels of
that clerical decorum which is enforced
with peculiar rigidity in New England:—
“ When Mrs. Judd was away, I have seen
Susannah and Sperry go into the kitchen
and dance a ‘ Highland Fling.’ I have seen
her get upon Sperry's back, and he would
carry her round. He generally played ‘leap
frog ’ and the ‘ nanny-goat.' He used to
run after Susannah and butt her as a sheep
would, you know, with his head, against
her stomach. Susannali used to sing,
‘ Glory Hallelujah,’ and such songs.” The
woes of Mrs. Judd arc indeed hard to be
borne. If there is any truth in witnesses,
her husband has outraged her in many
ways, her husband’s housekeeper has sup
planted her, her husband’s friends have
snubbed her and danced with her servants
a wild cancan beyond the most daring
dreams of the Mabille.
Illegal Voting.—There were over eight
hundred votes polled in this county on affida
vit of registration and citizenship. Three hun
dred and twenty-six of these swore they regis
tered in Dougherty, but their names do not ap
pear on the books or lists—Major Cochran or
dered the managers to receive them. Os the
others, nt least one-half are believed to have
committed perjury, ft is also known that
many voted who were registered here, but who
now reside in other counties, and it is estima
ted that not less than six to eight hundred ille
gal votes were polled, and of these the proba
bility is that not more than one-tilth were cast
for the Democratic ticket.
Protest will be entered, and, if Gen. Meade
is not foiled by Hurlbert, the milkin the cocoa
nut will be accounted tor.—A/Jany News.
Interesting Surgical Operation.—A sur
cal operation was performed in Hartford, on
Mr. Cowles, for the purpose of killing a can
cerous affection of the cheek and nose, and
consisted in removing almost the whole of the
upper jaw on the right side of the lace. The
surgeons preserved the palate plate perfect,
and the patient is enabled to masticate his
food, swallow and talk in a perfectly natural
manner. It was found that the part of the
bone affected was soft and spongy. Part of
the cheek bone was preserved, and in cise
Cowles recovers, as bis physicians have every
reason to believe he will (though he is 67
years of age), the only trace of the operation
remaining visible will be a depressed spot in
the cheek. The operation lasted 35 minutes,
the patient being under the influence of chlo
roform all the time. He awoke perfectly un
conscious that it was over.
Georgia Legislature.—The Legislature, by
Article X, Section I, of the new constitution,
will assemble in the city of Atlanta. Article
111, Section 111, requires it, to meet ninety days
after the adjournment of the convention. The
convention adjourned on the 11th of March,
and the Legislature will assemble on the 11th
of June next—provided the returns show that
the constitution was ratified in the recent elec
tion.— Atlanta Intelligencer.
To go to Liberia.— Some three hundred

AUGUSTA MARKET.
Reported for the Constitutionalist.
Augusta, Ga., Monday Noon, )
May*, 1868. (
REMARKS.
Trade has been unusually dull during the past
week. We have very little change to notice, as will
bo seen by reference to the prices current.
Cottos.—This staple comes in very slowlj, in fact,
there seems to be but little in the country. For par
ticulars of the past week, we refer to the following
details:
Mosoir-The market opened rather quiet and but
few sa'es were made, and those in large lots at about
31 cents for middlings, but there being but few buy
ers in the market, and no orders to flil, the market
closed dull—offering stock light. Sales and receipts,
only a part of which we obtained, amounted to 226
bales sold and 1 bale receipts.
Tuesday— Our market continues very quiet, with
no transactions of any consequence, there being only
8 bales sold to-day and no disposition on the part of
holders to sell. It is impossible to give any quota
tions. Receipts, 135 bales.
W»dxksoat—Nothing worthy of note transpired
in the market to-day. There are no buyers and con
sequently no cotton is offered. Bales were only 6
bales. Receipts, 84 bales.

day, and sales were effected at 30c. for middling,
though it was difficult to obtain that price. Market
closed quiet. Sales'-were 126 bales and receipts 61
bales.
Friday—We can perceive no material change in the
market during the past few days ; sellers are asking
more than buyers are willing to give. Some few sales
were made at 30c. for middling, amounting to 65
bales, market closing weak at that price. Receipts,
54 bales.
