Augusta Letter.
Augusta, Ha., Oct. 5th, 1888.
Editors Union Recorder:
Tho election for .State olllcials, ami
members of the Legislature passed oIT
“very quietly” last Wednesday. It
was indeed a very quiet election, one
of the most quiet ever held in Rich
mond county—from the fact that
about four-fifths of our voting popu
lation are disfranchised by the Reg
istration law. There must be be
tween 0000 and 10,000 voters in the
county, and of this number all but
1070 are debarred the privilege of vot
ing by the enuotment of the law.
While nearly all the other counties in
Georgia nre left free and uutrammelled
in the exercise of their franchise, the
vast majority of old Richmond's sons
are prevented by this law from hav
ing a voice in the selection of their
State and County olllcials. Think of
a county that formerly cast its thou
sands of votes polling only about 1HX),
as was the case in last week’s elec
tion. And among the disfranchised
are not only the negroes and white
laborers, but many, yea very many
of our citizens in moderate circum
stances who found themselves in no
condition financially to pay eleven
years back taxes.
The advocates of the Registration
Law 'claim that the retroactive feat
ure was a necessity, from the fact
that (the Constitution declared that,
no man should vote who had failed
to pay his taxes. The retroactive
clauso is the only feature in the law
which the people generally oppose.
There would be no objection to the
law or its requirements were it not
for the fact that it enforces the pay
ment of all taxes (polls &c.) since the
adoption of the Constitution. Now
it is well known that Mr. Toombs
was tin- author of tiiis clause in the
Constitution, and that it was inserted
for the purpose of disfranchising u
certain element. The people of the
State seemed to regard it as a dead
letter, and year after year men would
vote who were considerably behind in
their taxes. Eleven years after a
special law was enacted for Richmond
county providing that all citizens who
desired to vote in State and county
elections should register their names
with the Tax Collector, and that that
official should enter the names of
those only who had paid all their
taxes since the adoption of the Con
stitution. Those who own no prop -
erty are required to pay eleven years
poll tax. Think of a man working for
75 cents or a dollar a day being called
on to pay eleven dollars to vote some
other mail. UuuJJ l "iie is compelled to
-fttrr-TTfrF77«> privilege of voting. Is if
any wonder that the people of our
county are crying aloud against this
law and calling on our legislators to
have it repealed? May the day soon
come when it will be a thing of the
past, when other ways will be devised
for the collection of the tax, and when
our people will be restored to tlieir
privilege of expressing tlieir choice at
the ballot box.
Two of the gentlemen elected to
the legislature last week have already
served in that body. Mr. Calvin has
been returned five consecutive terms,
and lias made a wise conservative and
faithful ligislator. He is a man of
deep penetration and of clear, cool
and practical judgment. His long
services eminently fits him for the
Among Our Exchanges.

young merchant of Gordon died Sun

Gen. Harrison made two more
speeches on Thursday, in both of
which he afforded an admirable illus
tration of the power of language for
tho concealment of thought.—Provi

The Birmingham Herald furnishes
the following interesting paragraph:
Mrs. Hay, who slew the long dreaded
"lone highwayman” in Bandera coun
ty, Texas, was the niece of J. L. Gib
bons, a gifted journalist, and at one
time city editor of the Selma Times.
Many old Alabamians will remember
him and recall the beautiful tribute
paid to his memory by Col. Robert
McKee, the then editor of the lost and
lamented Southern Argus.
Anielie Illves-Chnnler has many ad
mirers, hut few who give such substan
tial evidence of their regard ns the
people of Augusta. They have
petitioned tho fair young Virgihian
to come and live among them, and
have tendered her the title to a home
In one of the lovely suburbs. The
literary movement in Augusta is
rampant, and must have a local idol.
We hope the beautiful Miss. A. Rives-
Clmnler will consent to serve in that
capacity.
A very amusing incident happened
at the recent Sam Jones tabernacle
meeting at Cartersville. One of the
most devout ministers of North Geor
gia, who resides in a town not a
thousand miles from Cartersville, left
home to spend a day or two at these
meetings. The sudden cool weather
that came about during the meetings
caused overcoats to become a great
requisite. The hero of this amusing i
incident did not have his overcoat
along, but the family whom he was
stopping with kindly tendered him
oue which answered every pur
pose until the stand was reached, and
after securing a seat up near the pul
pit the minister proceeded to pull off
his over coat, and while doing so a
deck of cards fell from the side pock
et as he was folding the coat to hung
it on the back of his seat. To see
this devout minister, who for many
years lias been making such a cru
sade against cards, reaching after a
ten spot here and a Juok of spades
as he could hot thAin back in hts
pocket certainly created a ripple
among the people seated near him.
A confiding friend of the minister says
lie heard him say that in all his life
he was never placed in such an em
barrassing position, and in future lie
will certainly examine the pockets of
all over coats he borrows before enter
ing church.

How it Happened and All About It.
It was Tuesday September 11, 1888,
always Tuesday, the 220tli Grand
Monthly drawing of The Louisiana
State Lottery occurred under the
sole management, as usual, of Gen’ls
G. T. Beauregard of La., and Jubnl
A. Early of Va. The prizes ranged
from #100 to #300,000, and were dis
tributed everywhere. Do you want
to know to whom and where? No. 07,
42!) drew the First Capital Prize
of #300,000. It, was sold in fractions;
one fourth sold to Jacob Shinsey,
Speaker's Chair and it. is the hope of j New York city; the rest went to Costa
his friends that lie will be nnani- Ki( ‘ a . C. A. The Second Capital Prize

that important office.
Mr. Lamar made a splendid recor
last term and will go hack well equi|
ped to serve his county. He is on
of the ablest young lawyers at
bar, and is noted for his forceful ora
tory and logical mind.
Mr. Fleming goes to the Legisla
ture for the first time, but he will not
be there long before he will make his
mark. He knows when to speak, and
what to say. Mark my prediction,
W. 11. Fleming is loaded with some
thing good, and during the coming
session will introduce some important
measures, and make a brilliant rec
ord for himself.
Augusta it fast recovering from the
effect.- n| the recent treshet and in a
little time will be ready for the recep
tion of visitors tn our great Exposi
tion. \\ ork on the Canal has begun;
the Bridge will soon ag.in be built,
the streets repaired, and every tiling
restored to its former condition. It
is surprising to know how much pluck
there is in the people of the Fountain
City.
Oue of the saddest deaths that have
recently occurred was that of Mrs.
Osborne, the sweet singer. Bo often
lias her bird like voice soothed
the hearts of God’s worshippersaR she
would sing the songs of Zion in one
of our Sanctuaries. After u Jong
sickness she passed away to the God
who gave her being and left a discon
solate husband to weep alone.
The Public Schools will all open
next Wednesday, and superintendent
Evans has his hands full in preparing
for the reception of his hundreds of
pupils. His office is still in the old

One of the things the legislature
should do at its next session is to re
duce the number of elections in
Georgia. We had one hist Wednes
day; another will take place on Nov.
(>, and still another on the first Wed
nesday in January. Besides these,
several Georgia cities will have
municipal elections In December.
This is laving on politics it little too
thick. There is no reason why too
elections for federal, state and local
officers should not be held on the
same day. Elections nre expensive
in more ways than one and in Georgia
we have entirely too many of them.—
