INTERESTING BEADING MATTER ON 4TH PAGE 1

THE APRIL ELECTION. i
■ 1 I
Id a recent article, we attempted to awa- ,
ken the public mind to the necessity of
making suitable preparation and evoking
proper and substantial candidates for munici
pal responsibilities and honors, at the forth
coming Election in April. We have shown
that the financial condition of the city is in a
deplorable state, and further that the sole hope
of extrication and solvency is built upon the
propriety, the necessity of securing such rep
resentatives as will redound to the credit and
■welfare of the municipality. If the city gov
ernment be paralysed, all trades and profes
sions must share in the misfortune ; they can
not prosper, as classes, if the city become
bankrupt and suppliant. It is not necessary
to specify peculiar avocations which would
decline, since it is evident, at the first blush,
that all, more or less, depend upon Augusta's
gtowth in opulence directly or indirectly ; the
city relatively being mutually dependent upon
them. Wherefore, we beg leave to iterate and
reiterate that none but first class men should
be sought and, however unpalatable the sacri
fice, such men should not hesitate to serve.
Let the workingmen understand that men of
this tone and calibre are their best friends.
Let them not be caught by specm»» promises,
made aftpr the ruunnvr ot pie crust, and bro
ken as easily as made. Let them not succumb
to clap-trap caballing or whisky guzzling.
W 3 wont men to assort their manhood at the
nest election and vote for the best men solely
upon merit and for the public benefaction.
We want candidates who can stand superior
to the ordinary wire-working of politics and
rely upon their worth, pure and simple, for
suffrage. In one word, we earnestly desire
that all our citizens shall raise themselves
above personal prejudice and be enthusiastic
only for such candidates as deserve the suffrage
of honorable men, unselfishly intent upon the
good of all. Animated by such a sentiment,
onr difficulties can be surmounted Let us have
a campaign of honor and candidates of wisdom
nnd solidity. We are firmly persuaded that,
in thus speaking, we fully portray the feel
ing that actuates a majority, at least, of our
people.
What we have written lias been written
only for, the public good, of which we trust
to be always a v gilant and jealous guardian.
We may as well state, at the outset, that we
have no choice and put pen to paper disinter
est dly nnd in the cause of no man. Any
parties nominated for office having the requi
site qnalifi ,'ations will be supported by this
journal; any others will assuredly receive no
favor at onr hands.
Since wilting the above we have been hand
ed the following communication from an “ old
resident ”:
Mr. Editor: Your editorial about city
affairs must have been made from very in
correct information afforded yoq. The fund
ed debt of the city is not a million of dollars,
and the outstanding or open accounts against
the city are not over $150,000 —the assets of
the city are over the amount due, at present
valuations of property, stocks and bon is; and
if your informant had asked, in proper quar
ters, lie could have found out that the Geor
gia railroad stock, the bridge, the wharves,
the water works, the market, the city lots,
both on the canal and the commons, the gas
stock, and several other properties, saying
nothing about the public buildings, are much
more in value than the indebtedness of the
city, if the amount was one-tbird more than
twelve hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
tint will,,only tmnnira frftm tho
lu the article thus curtly referred to, we
said that the liabilities of Augusta were
something like a million of dollars.” Our
correspondent, while denying that the amount
is a million of dollars, does not eon tto vert the
assumption that it approximated It. A*cor
rcet report of this indebtedness has, we .be
lieve, been called for by the City Council, but
no public exposition has been made, and we
Tested upon data deemed reliable, though Un
official. At the time of writing we well knew
that the city had valunble properties, but de
sired that they should be preserved without
the appearance of going into liquidation. Id
a case of absolute bankruptcy, these and other
assets could be realized in funds, but we great
ly wished to she snob men elected as would,
by financial skill, save these properties intact,
and, at the same time, make taxes as little
onerous as possible. The whole matter nar
rows itself to this : Has not the city a great
debt ? If so, how shall it be satisfied without
selling, mortgaging, or taxing extensively ?
We thought at the time, and still hold the
same conviction, that such a consummation
could only be brought about by the election
of the very best and ablest men in the com
munity.
A .Bloodthirsty Governor. —The Baltimore
Gazette, referring to the late inaugural of the
Governor of Wisconsin, says :
In that inaugural he asserts with a breadth
of comprehension which becomes a Governor
<*f Wisconsin, and an exact adherence to truth,
which is the peculiar charscleristic of his tvpe
of republicanism, that the American people de
mand that \t)p Supreme Court of the United
States shall convict and hang Mr. Davis ; and
also, that the American people, of "whom the
Governor of WisconHu. j s the self appointed
spokesman, further declare tftey will not be con
tent until this edict is carried out The Wis
consin Governor evidently looks upon the Su
preme Court as nothing more than a mere m«-
chmo for registering what he gratuitously as
sumes to be the popular flat. In giving public
expression to this opinion, ho not only insults
the dignity of what, he himself styles “ the
highest tribunal in the land,” but makes it dif
ficult to decide whether the predominating trait
in hie own character is that of a fanatio or a
fool.
Gen Mercer. —How Hir Property was
Confiscated. —The New York correspondent of
the Baltimore Evening Transcript furnishes an
interesting paragraph relative to the confisca
tion of the property of Gen. H. W. Mercer, now
on trial in Savannah :
In 1863. a gentleman named Benjamin F.
Mudgett informed Mr G. Delafleld Smith, the
Uoived States district attorney in this city,
that the Confederate General Hugh W. Mer
cer owned 613 shares of the stock of the Minnes
eota Mining Company, besides some $9 000 of
dividends due upon the stock. In accord
ance with the act. of Congress cf 1862, the
property was seized by the United States mar
shal. The law in such cases gives the governs
■meat one-half and the informer the other half,
but it has just now leaked out that thediatnct
attorney refused to outer judgment for the
joint benefit of Mudgett and the government,
unless Mudgett would agree to employ as his
counsel one of the district attorney’s employes,
and pay over to him one-lftlf of the proceeds
due him. This Mudgett at first refused, but
finally consented, fearing that he would not
get anything at all. Smith finished up the pro
ceedings and Bold the shares, the moiety of
which, about $30,000, were handed over to tbe
United States government. Mudgett, however,
had to wait some time for his money, and
finally received about $16,000, lh% remainde
being kept by Mr. Smith, as fee for his em
ploye, who, as Mudgett subsequently ascertain
ed, uever did one moment’s work for the case.
To recover the balance of the money due him
Mudgett has instituted proceedings in court
against the ex-United States district attorney.
The latter, I understand, now is very anxious
to settle the matter, and fears that the case
may be too much ventillated for bis own good.
But it is lime that the public should know how
the radical office holdera lined their pockets
during the war, and this case is one in point.
Death or Solicitor J. B. Pebby. —At a late
hour last night, we received the sad intelligence
of the death of Solicitor J. B. Perry, of the
Southern Circuit. He died suddenly at his re
sidence, to Waltrtboro', 8 0., on the lTth
l»9tant.—Charleston Courier.
NOTES FOR THE TIMES
“ And that day was the preparation, and
the Sabbath drew on.” AuiWhll time itself
may be regarded as one great we.*k-day of
preparation for the oncoming Hereafter. To
those who believe that tlure is a God, and
that the Bible is an expression of His will,
this must be the accepted view of human life.
Men who never believed in God before, who
laughed at the thought of human depravity as
the dream of a morbid imagination, have
been cured of this practical atheism by the
stern lessons of this •ar, with its record of
suffering and crime. 'Hie thunder of cannon
lias been a fitting prelude to the Sabbath
bells, whose chimes are heard once more in
the land.
It is a common but important remark, that,
if nations are ever dealt with by Providence,
they must be dealt with now, since in their
earthly and corporate forms they have no ex
i-fence hereafter. And this nation has been
most signally dealt with. When in the course
of its history the point was reached where for
bearance might have been interpreted to mean
connivance, God interposed, the hour of retri
bution came, and the blow was struck. With
t lie masses at the North the spirit of ungodli
ness took the more special form of fanaticism;
with us, at the South, it showed itself in the
pride of caste, and a wide-spread, debasing
materialism. We sowed the wind—we have
reaped the whirlwind. The sword came, and
with its terrible sweep levelled our pride and
arrogance in the dust. But it has cut at the
same time a path, more open and direct, to
the sanctuary where the Sal hath bells are now
nviting. To the North, the?® chimes are
speaking of a purer /fifth and a broader chari
ty; to the South, of a deeper and more
thorough appreciation of the great facts of
' lod’s power and Providence. If ever a peo
ple, in all history, were called upon to put off
the shoes of worldliness and pride, and walk
oftly and humbly with their God, we are that
peopl?. But, alna! for human pride and per
verseness. We have been deaf to the thun
der of cannon; we have been blind to the
r!eam of the sword; we have refused to be
, jmpressed by the sounds of lamentation, whose
aid and prolonged echoes are even now rever
lr> rating throughout a darkened and desolate
hind. Whom the god’s mean to destroy, they
first make mad.” Does this continued indif
f rence to the higher truths of God, and
Christ, and eternity, betoken impending and
tire destruction ? If a stranger to all the
circumstances of this dreadful war wer , to
day, to waik in the streets of Augnsta, would
lie see anything in the manner and demeanor
of the people to indicate the recent dreadful
calamity—anything to convince him that a
torm had just passed that had shaken every
house-—that an avenging angel had just van
i hod who smote the first-born in every fami
ly? If he mingled in the weekly round of
festivities, would he receive the impression
'bat he were standing in the midst of an af
flicted and suffering people ? If be entered
bito our sanctuaries on the Sahbath, would
be there, in the deportment of the worship
pers, be convinced that he was one of an as
sembly which, like the Children of Israel at
’lie foot of Sinai, had heard “ the voice of the
Lord speaking to them oat of the fire ?” To
propose these questions is to answer them.
The record of sin and ungodliness is as sad
and full to day as it was before the war. We
n-e as bei t on gain, on all the extravagances
of dress and fashion as ever. And if the
■tate of this community be a fair criterion of
Hie prevalent ungodliness of the land, that
visitor would turn away with the feeling and
confession, “surely, the fear of God is not
in this place” The sounds of revelry are
welling sadly enough over the graves of the
loved and honored dead, where the sods are
still soft and yellow, and wet with tears. We
are not calling for any over-weening saintli
ness or pretension to religion. We are not
asking that onr men become Puritans, or our
manding that any dispense with the rational
and sober enjoyments of life. Religion is not
asceticism. Christ is not the apostle of gloom
and despair. But in the name of all that is
true and sacred—by the recollection of the
Past, with its tearful memories and its awful
judgments—by the hopes and fears associ
ated with a Future, where wo must stand face
to face with the Great Aibitrcr of our desti
nies—let us show some sense and appreciation
of the most awful and direct manifestations
of the Divine Presence, which all history has
recorded. “ Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy
voice like a trumpet, and show my people their
transgression, and the house of Jacob their
sins," “ Lord, when Thy hand is lifted tip,
they will not see—your country is desolate,
your cities are burned with fire, your land
strangers devour i 4 in your presence, and it is
desolate as overthrown by strangers. More
over, the Lord saith, ‘ Because the daughters
of Zion are haughty , and walk with stretched
forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and
mincing as they go, therefore the Lord will
smite with a scab the crown of the head of the
daughters of Zion. In that day the Lord will
talce away the bravery of their tinkling orna
ments, the chains, and the bracelets, and the
mufflers, the bonnets and the head-bands, and
the tar-rings , the changeable suits of apparel,
and the mantles and the crisoing pins , the
glasses and the fine linen, and the veils. Thy
men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty
in the war. And her gates shall lament and
mourn, and she, being desolate, shall sd upon
the ground.’ ” Watchman.
London as it Was. —The followiog extract
from a London letter intimates the radical
changes created by the marnh of improvement :
If anybody wishes to see London as it wa«,
i.e must, come soon. The old historic land
marks, the quaint streets, tbe famous old
houses, the queer courts and lanes, and deus ot
antiquity, are vanishing before the utilitarian
-(rides of city improvements. The Thame
tunnel is no more to be seen, save as a viaduc
for railway trains. The finest view (poor
enough) of Bt. Paul’s is utterly cut off bv a
rnilwav, in mid air, impudently crossing Lud
cate hill. Holborn valley is to be filled up or
bridged, and ‘•Cock Lane,’’ and the “Saracen’s
Head.” where “Squeers" put up, must go to
the dogs From Oxford street, a wide avenue,
‘■traight as the crow flies," is to becutthrough,
due south, to the Thames. All Americans who,
have visited London remember Norlhumber-*
lnnd house, the ancient palace of a haughty
race, standing nt ' haring Croßs, just opposite'
Vforley’s hotel, over whose lofty portal is thsfr
venerable lion, more than one hundred and (
fifty years old, with his tail sticking up.so
pugnaciously, but said to wag at one o’cloeW
everv afternoon. The Duke of Northumberland
has been informed, by a vulgar commission*,
that he roust move out of the way, ancient
palace, lion, reminiscences and all, for the pew
street to the Thames will ran over his estab
lishment. So the duke is pulling up; baj he
gets about $200,000 for doing so. Some <Jbn
eolation !
Diaolical Acts op Negro Sommers —The
IJUleigh Progress , of Tuesday, gives publicity
to the follow ng heinous crime, committed by
negro soldiers in Carolina:
Four negro soldiers arrived here yesterday
morning, by the train from the east, under
guard, balled and chained. They are brought
hither for trial before court-martial, for com
mitting a rape on a little girl, fifteen years
old, named Miss Evaus, who resided with her
father and sister near Fort Macon, where the
villainous scoundrels were stationed. Seven
were concerned in the diabolical transaction,
but three escaped, and have not been arrested .
As related to us, it appears that the ravish
ers first bed the father of the girl to a tree
after which tbev attempted to violate both of
his daughters. By some means unknown to
our informant, the eldest escaped, but thei tber
was not so fortunate. She became the vic
tims of their hellish passions, and it b ru
mored died soon afterwards.
P. S.—Since the above paragraphs were
written, we have been informed that a colored
man, a seigeant in the same regiment to
which the criminals belonged, rescued the el
der sister from tbe hands of the ruffians, and
probably caused their arrest. He deserves not
only credit, but some substantial testimonial,
so that it may be seen what distinctions are
so be made between good and bad.

Presentments of Grand Jury.
OCTOBER TERM, 1865, ADJOURNED TO JAN , 1866
The Grand Jury of Richmond county pre
sent to your Honor, and the other civil officers,
thair congratulations on yonr resumption of du
ties, no long rnsoeoded.an<i sincerely hope it will
be the commencement of an era in which every
ci izen will, as a component of t our body politic,
exert himself for the establishment of peace and
good will nmongst men. If any additional means
were wanting to impress on this body the grave re
sponsibilities which the law imposts on it, yonr
Honor’s clear and impressive charge wonld have
satisfactorily effected that purpose. The condi
tion of onr conntv, which yon so truly described
is incompatible with the -claim of her citiaens to
be considered a civilized and law-abiding people;
and we have no right to demand the respect Os
other communities for being snch, if we cannot
bring to yonr Bar the violators of our laws, for
*bo protection of life and property, and enforce
♦be execution of the penalties prescribed for snch
rffenfe". It is nnneces o ary to dwell on the assas
sinations, highway robberks and burglaries of
d illy and nigh'ly occurrence in onr county; every
ri'izen in it is apprehensively aware of them. —
But we may ask why a community, possessing
within itself the legal and physical means of
preventing them, should so long remain quiescent
and fesree’v rentonstrate wi'U tlio authorities
for the inefficient exercise es the power oonfi led
to them:
A reign of violence has existed amongst us for
over six month o ; and if nothing can be done,
more than has been, its termination will depend,
pot on the enforcement of legal authority, bnt on
tti° csprice of the milefactors who defy if. The
city of Angu°ta, the most important portion of
onr conntv, has been permitted, by a charter, to
n-eauize a municipal government and enact or
dnances for the collection of a tsx to sustain the
'a.vs necessary for the protection of her citizens
Ifow has this duty been performed? It will
■-rarcely he asserted she is not tsxed enough to
pay an efficient police; taxed enough, without the
< xiotion of a suitable reward, for the recovery of
proper'y which ordinary vigilance would have
po'ected.
The answer then to the question is one we he«r
- e.'mo°t every hour from our suffering fellow-citL
t. -us, that, the means entrusted to the city gor
orpruent have not been uied with the energy
necessary for the occasion. We, therefore, pre-
Lent the in-fficiencv of that body as one of the
canses that have operated Injuriously to the peae»
and welfare of our county. As representatives
of her interests, it wnutd be gratifying to speak
o’h rwise of authorities constituted for the pro
tection of onr city; but our de moralized condition
■’omands that th’ attention of every citizeu should
b- aroused, and those who are responsible ar
ra ! gned at the bar of public judgment for deri
ieotion of a sacred dnty. The time has come for
nil good and true men to throw off the apathy
that kept them indifftren* to the operation of
public events, and to be vigilant of what is pass
ing -round them. A mutual obligation rests on
a’t, ard no ore can feel that be has di»ch»rg°d
Vs part who connives at a poriMve violation of
oar laws. A prompt arraignment before an
♦Rarities information communicated to'he Grand
Juries of facts that will justify pr -secutinos for
rime, a general zeal fpr the vindication rs law,
iiii punishment of ms.'efactors would soon
change the aspect of our condition, and re
move the reproach of lawiessne's from our roun
♦v. Citizens would no louver tolerate aronnd
them the gambling dens that rob and corrupt onr
v uth; thp unlicensed drinking shops wonld be
cl'isnd.and their proprietors prosecuted; receiv
e aof stolen goods won! • no longer defy detec
’ion, and almost invariably escape pnnishment.
Fvery good citizen would thus be a conservator
of law and order, and its enamies would be forced
♦o leave a county so uncongenial to their voca
t.; >ns.
The attention of Ihe court is particularly re
quested to ihe danger incurred bv the citizens of
Aaeu-.ta from the number of small-pox patient*
v kn are permitted to walk through the streets,
’■id also to the m'selvef that may arise from
phvriciaos denying the existence of the disease in

fully suggst 'hot a me means shonld he irotnedi

ordinary neglect.
We respertfuiiy cnli the sftent.inn of the cnnrt
to a t’nder, made hr the Mayor of this city, of
the use of the grand jury room to'he Freedman’s
Bureau, for the purpose of holding tbere'n a
court. We earnestly protest against this action
as inconsistent with the convenience and wants

this room is ns essential so the court room for the
rsnsaction of public duties, and cannot be dis
pensed with.
The committee appointed to visit the Poor

The committee appointed to exarointsthe Jail
report that it Is in a clean end healthy condition,
and that the building rrquires some repairs. It

substitute for it, however, is impossible; that over

Patterson’s bridge, on Briar r reek, are danger
ous to tbe public safety.
We earnestly recommend that the .sy-faiE pf
workiog roads be changed from taxation to labor,
as it is performed in ether counties in the State.
We sieve presented to your Honorable Court

difference between tb«tr assessment and the price Os
the pews.
81. Members nnable to pay anything will havs seats
