President Arthur, under the lead of such men as Farrow, serins determined to fill all the Federal offices in Georgia with negroes, this being the third one appointed to office in a short time, Such a course will inevitably ruin the Republican party if it is persisted in, as it will have a tendency to drive every dooent white Republican out of the party and solidify the Democrats. —In to-day’s issue will be found the advertise ment of George R. Lombard & Co., of Augusta, and we take pleasure in calling the attention of our naders to it.

Sometime in the near future we propose to give a full history of this firm, whioh is more like romance than fact.— At the present, however, we must content our self with a mere notioe of their advertisement. THE FAIR. The was a very good a'tendance of the members of the Burke County Fair Assooia ion on Tuesday morning, in the office of the Town Commissioners. Much interest was manifested, and on a call of the roll it was ascertained that one hun dred and thirteen shares were r< pre- sen 1 ed. The fo 1 lowing officers were elected: President, \V. A. Wilkins; 1st Vice Presideu’, S. A. Gray; 2d Vice President, W. B. Jones; 3d Vice President, A’ G. Whitehead : Secre tary, J. D. Munuerlyn; Treasurer, J. H. Mackenzie. Power was granted the officers to eleot an Executive Committee of five.— A motion was made by Col. Munnerlvn. that the President appoint a committee of five to prepare and publish a resolu tion notifying the public, that while rac ing would be encouraged, no betting would be allowed on the grounds. This resolution received but two votes The members, without an exception, appear ed to be opposed to betling, and the resolution, it is thought, would have re ceived a numsrous vote b it for a ser mon delivered on last Sunday. How ever, it is very evident that, while racing will be a leading feature in the exhibi tions, both the Constitution and By- Laws will prohibit and punish betting. The Association adjourned to meet to day two weeks. A good set of officers have been clect- i d, the members appear to be in earnest, and there i9 no reason why it should not become oie of the best agricultural societies in the Sta'e. [Communicated.] MR. STEPHENS' DUPLICITY. The hillock has labored and brought forth » mouse —and it’s all hair. One would suppose from Brutus’ self-concsit that politicians were like Bill Harp’s flies, “born grown.” Who has made thee judge, Brutus ? Why this much ado about nothing 1 ? The entusiasm that the Doctor feels, and hia utteran ces termed “sentimeatal gush” by the gentleman who will die a martyr to his nom de plume, eminate from a brai i capable of recognizing honesty of pur pose, though little skilled in politics.

Boys, we tender you or thanks. And just here jet us say, that Waynesboro has as noble hearted set of young men as anytown iu the United States. True as steel to their friends, respectfull to age, gener ous in disposition, sociable and genial in manners, and attentive to business they form an exception in favor of the Waynesboro ‘'boys” not to be found in any other town iu the State. And all the boys are our friends. —About 3 o’clock Thursday night. Mr. Jim O’Byrns caught a chickei. lifter after his last chicken. O’Byrns pulled down at him with his shot gun, which caused the thief to drop his chicken, and O’Byrns says he made the best time across Corker’s cotton patch he ever witnessed.— O’Byrns now has a charge of No. 2 shot in his gun, and is anxious for another chance. We warned thi thieves sometime ago that the citi zens of Corkerville kept their guns, loaded and their powder dry. Some fellow will get hurt up there yet. —In another column to-.day will be found the advertisement of Dr. J. Dennis, of Augusta. We have known Dr. Dennis for 30 years, and have often used his medicines many times during that period, and we can con scientiously say that we have never known them to fail. We mean more than the mere notice of an advertise ment by what we here say—we mean to tfll the sick where they can find relief. Write to Dr. Dennis, tell him what is the matter, and our word for it he will relieve you if it is within the range of physic to do it. —A party of genial gentlemen (they were not all boys either) went out to Miller’s mill on Tuesday, ard made a gala day of it—feasting upon the best that swims the water. The fun ran high, and the catch was so great that all the darkies in the neigh borhood had a mess of what was left after the fishermen were all satisfied to carry home. Well, we are glud to hear that somobody can enjoy themselves even if our duties prevent us from participating. P. S.—Tho old men did not see the snake-bite medicine. Dr. Holleyman stepped in on us a morning or two ago, and put us under obligations by presenting us with * lot of very fine vegetables. First, there was a drumhead cabbage which would oom- para favorably with auy imported oab- bage we have ever seen in this market —-didn’t we “bile that eabbage down.” Then came beets, onions, carrots, etc., as fine as good seed, fertile land, atten tive cultivation and this most favorable season oouli make them. Dootor, we greet you. —Judge E. P. Lawson has' re- meved his law office, and now occu pies the new brick office next door to the A^ngtoa House, it being one of the moat convenient offioea in town, and when it is furnished as the gentlemen design to do immedi*. ly, it will he one of the cosiest and brtable. pen with equal dexterrity. These all * concur in giving him credit for honesty of ihought and purpose; but Brutus says he is guilty of “palpable duplic ity,” and Brutus!—we all know who Brutus is. I claim the right to enter tain and express my views without the influences of favor or fo-ir, and and can not see the why (?) of the feeble on slaught upon me or Mr. Stephens.— Even were I disposed to go so far as worship, I’ve the right to do so under my own vine and fig “bush”—large or small. I differed with Mr. S. once, but have had the manhood to have felt, aud still feel ashamed of having expressed it. I am reminded of the want of faith in Peter after being au eye witness to the many maracles of Jesus—denying him. But lashed by unbridled fury by remorse, he showed his manhood, his faith, his repentance. He went out and wept bitterly Go now, Brutus, and moisten your ■’bandanna.” I fed complimented by B’s. opinion of my political ken, supported as it is by college buncomb, which bears the rela tion to common sense which ’he zephyr does to the cyclone. I made no effort at ‘ pallemic display,” or any other dis play. I saw nothing to encourage con-, troversy, and shall 1 add another line to what I have here said, or reply to anything whioh Liru'us, Cassius, Tar- quin, the Colossus at Rhodes, the Straits of Gibenlter, the Leauing Tower of Pr-a. Jupiter Tonans, or any other t hunderer or set of thunderers may thun der, by thunder. The Commoner fears no harm from political pigmies’ and all effort to im peach his persi mal or political integrity may be compared to throwing rotten eggs, which burst as released from the hand besmearing him who hurls them. Randall, Wabh, et al., are small pota toes in Brutus’ opinion, I presume, classing their views, with which I have the honor to concur, in the catigory of “pla'iiudes.” I am content, and shall lea~e forever the subject with Brutus, hoping that his next venture may be upon a subject more in keeping with his “political experience,” indiscreet utterances upon which will reooil to his injury, and affect his aspirations of a po litical or other character. Remeraem- ber the use and abuse of the quill.— Tree something and bark less, is the humble advice of the Doctor. —We rise to make our best bow to Col.
