Arrested.—Two men named, respectively,
Allen and Emanuel Miller, were arrested
on Monday night by officer Doyle, on suspi
cion of having committed the malicious mis
chief, some time since, of bedaubing the
interior of Mr. E. S. Rogers’ new house, with
black varnish. The evidence elicited, on a pre
liminary examination before Judge McLaws,
was sufficient to warrant their committal to
jail in default of bail.
Dr. Ford’s Lecture.— lt was gratifying to
witness the croweded bail last night on the oc
casion of Dr. Ford’s lecture—a l’lea for Popular
Government. The lecture was quite lengthy,
yet listened to with unremitting attention
throughout. The lateness of the hour pre
cludes the possibility of such report as we de
sire to give. We shall recur to it again.
Democratic Meeting.—There was a full
meeting of the Democracy last night at the
City Hall on a very short notice. Henry
Myers, Esq., presided, and able and eloquent
addresses were delivered by Hon. E. 11. Pottle
and non. David E. Butler. The Democracy is
aroused and woe betide the oppositson.
Grand Rally of the Richmond Democ
racy—Amass meeting of the people of Rich

yard on Thursday next, 2d day of April.
Hon. Linton Stephens has consented to ad
dress the meeting, and Gen. 'John B. Gordon
is also expected to be prescut and address the
people.
The Last Sensation. —It is said that ex-
Gov. Brown is preparing to raise the cry of in
eligibility against Judge Irwin. Somebody has
told Brown that Irwin was appointed (for rea
sons of policy) one of (tie State Electors for
Jeff. Davis, in 1861.
Horace Greeley or any one else might have
been so “appointed,” for that matter, hut what
would that amount to ? Judge Irwin was
“ appointed ” (that it, elected.) to a seat in the
late convention, against his protest, and his of
ficial duties prevented his acceptance. Away
with such nonsense. — Atlanta Opinion.
Removal of the Telegraph Office.—
The indefatigable and gentlemanly superin
tendent of the telegraph office in this city, J.
A. Brenner, Esq., has been engaged during the
past two days in removing from the express
building to their rooms, recently relinished
lor telegraphic uses, in the large and commo
dious brick building of William Rousley, Esq.,
ami nearly opposite the old office. Wo con
gratulate Mr. B. in securing so eligible a cite,
as it is eminently adapted to such service.
Beauties in Baskets. —It seems that we arc
to have something new' —no not new—but
something old in the way of fashions for the
ladies. How convenient the old style will be?
The pic-nic days are coming, and then if the
article of dress referred to below should prove
cumbersome to Clariuda Jane, all Augustus
William Henry need say is : “ Allow me to carry
your basket V” How could Clariuda Jane get
out of it ?
This “latest freak of fashion,” as the New
York Sun is pleased to term it, has not yet
made its appearance in tiie streets of the me
tropolis, hut the Sun presumes we shall not
have to wait for it very long :
It is the revival of the old-fashioned hoops j
or, us the French cull them, panniers or bas
kets, which were lirst iu vogue in France a
hundred and thirty years ago, and were alter
ward a favorite article of dress with the beau
tiful Marie Antoinette and her ladies just be
fore the revolution of 1789. They consist sim
ply of a circular frame-work ol whalebone, or
other suitable material, fastened around the
person beneath the waist and above the hips,
extending equally in every direction, and pro
ducing an extraordinary enlargement and ro
tundity of the figure. When the fashion was
at its extreme, the rule was that the diameter
of the pannier should be equal to the
height of the wearer ; but this extravagance
was adopted only by the more ultra
and dashiug among the ladies of the time.
The Introduction of this mode at the present
day is the work of Ihe Empress Eugenic, who
seems to exercise a more despotic sway over
the women of the civilized world than her
stern and unscrupulous husband has ever been
able to wield over the French uatipn. As yet,
she has been followed in this last innovation
only by the ladies of Paris; but, the rest of wo
mankind are sure to hasten to imitate their ex
ample. According to a statement in the cor
respondence of that trustworthy authority con
cerning fashion, the Journal of Commerce, the
whole fashionable world of that city has been
quick to put on panniers, although to many
they are anything but becoming. “Not only the
young and the svlph-like,” says this writer,
“ but the middle-aged aud the stout sport pan
niers; the latter rendering themselves abso
lutely ridiculous in a costume which requires
to be worn with all the grace and ease for
which Her Majesty is so distinguished to ren
der it presentable.” This reminds us of the
introduction of crinoline by the same imperial
dictatrix. At lirst that novelty made all women
appear very strange, aud some supicmeiy ugly;
but by degrees we became used to it, and now
there are those who think the fashion beauti
ful; and so, wc dare say, it will be with the
panniers. We live aud learn.

It is a curious fact that the demand for chil

The number of fondlings received by the police
was one hundred and seventy-six iu 1867, and
this is an increase on the previous year; yet the
authorities of the Home for the Friendless and

W ashington.
Washington, March 31—Noon.
Judge Black yesterday, in the Supreme
Court, desired to argne the effect of recent leg
islation on the McArdle case. During the col
loquy Judge Grier said “he felt called upon to
vindicate himself from whatever of obloquy or
censure may attach to any one in this matter,
that he thought the failure to decide the Me-
Ardle case will be considered as a design on
the part of the court to wait for legislation to
relieve them from the performtnee of an un
pleasant duty.” Grier closed with “ Pudet hoc
opprohere; dici et non potuisse repelli. I am
ashamed such an opprobrium should be cast
upon the court, and that it can’t be refuted.” —
There will be further proceedings to-day.
The House adopted the eonfference report
on the tax bill. It- goes to the President.
The Supreme Court postponed the argument

The McArdle argument was postponed, on
motion of Mr. Carpenter, who was not pre
pared. The managers made a tremendous
effort to-day, saying, should the point go
against them they would feel compelled to re
tire aud consult the House. When the deci
sion was announced, Butler said the managers
desired to retire for consultation. Little evi
dence was taken to-day.
The President’s friends seem in excellent
spirits. It transpired that the President chang
ed the form of appointment blanks to conform
to the tenure of office act after that law was
passed. Gen. Moorehead characterizes his in
terviews with Stanton and Thomas is some
what jocular. There were no hostile manifes
tations.
Butler volunteered to repeat inaudible wit
nesses, but the defence objected.
The vote in i>rivate session sustaining Chase
was 31 to 13.
in the Supreme Court, in the ease of Martin
and McGill, a motion to advance the cause was
deuied. It was an appeal from the Circuit of
Florida in a murder case. The court suggest
ed a remedy in the shape of an application to
tills court lor habeas corpus and writ of certiorari
against the District Court. Council took no
action on the suggestion. This case is similar
to the McArdlirbase.

REMARKABLE CURE OF CANCER ON THE
FACE OF FOURTEEN YEARS’ STANDING.
Tliis will certify that I have Buffered with cancer
on my face for the past fourteen years. It has re
sisted alt treatment, until 1 applied to Dr. L. DeLacee,
at the Augusta Hotel, the 10th day of last month.
He took the cancer out, roots and all, the Bth day, by
medicines. It healed of its own accord, aud now I
am entirety cured of cancer, and able to say to all that
may be afflicted with this most terrible disease that,
if you apply in time, while your case is curable, you
will be cured. The Doctor has cured others in the

resided in Augusta lour years.

MORE EXTRAORDINARY CURES.
-acocSTA, Ga., November 21, 1867.
This will certify that I have been afflicted with can
cer in the root of my mouth. It was so painlul that
l could not rest night or day. It was with great diffi
culty that I could get fcod enough by it to support
life. It resisted all medical treatment, and finally eat
entirely through the roof of my mouth into my none.
I applied to Dr. De Laces, just four weeks ago to
day, and am now able to announce, for the benefit of
those that may be suffering from this terrible disease
that I am entirely cured of cancer, and restored to
perfect health, and am as well as I was before being
afflicted. Miss Beulah Gujllard.
STILL ANOTHER CITIZEN OF AUGUSTA
CURED OF EATING CANCER OF SEVEN
YEARS’ STANDING.
I certify to the facts in my case for the benefit of
‘those that are afflicted with cancer. I have suflered
with eating cancer upon my lace and nose for the past
seven years. I was prostrated in general health and
as weak as a child, and was unable to walk to see the
doctor; my son took me in a carriage. My cancer at
that time was eating away and spreading faster every
day. I applied to Dr. DeLacee, at the Augusta Hotel,
four weeks ago last Saturday, and now I am healed
of cancer, restored to health and strength and have
an excellent appetite, and am gaining more strength
daily. I cannot express my gratitude for my deliver
ance. My cancer was taken out by one application,
and dropped out the seventh day. lam sixty-seven
years of age, and have been a resident of Augusta
nineteen years, and my health is as good now ns it
was twenty years ago. Hundreds ot the citizens of
Augusta will attest to the above.

By Animal Maqnktism wo ciaim that the diseased
and deranged action of the nervous and vacular systems
are Restored to a Perfect Equilibrium much more readily
than by any other means known to the medical world,
either in the Present or Past ages. “ Nature must do
the Healing," is the saying of OTery sensible and honest
physician, and that “all we can do in case of sickness is
to Aid Nature,” This Prof. Roberts aims to do by the
great science of Animal Megnetism, and that too
Without Drugs! It is th» only system of Medication
that lias God as its autlun-ity and example or that can
be sustained by science or common sense. Consultation
free. Letters to be answered must bo accompanied with
a stamp. For testimonials see or send for oirculsr.

human maladies not herein specified, viz:
All diseases of the Brain, Rheumatism, Nervous
Debility, Neuralgia, Weak Spine, Curvature of the
Spine, Inflamed Sore Ey< s, Paralysis, Weak Eyes,
Partial Blindness, Dropsical Tumors, Ulcors, Scrofula

els, Dyspepsia, Falling of the womb, Suppressed
Menses, Catarrh, all kirn's of Sexual Diseases, Impu
rities of the Blood, Ac., Ac, Paralysis and Deafness
:u'e the most uncertain of all diseases to cure, although
patients afflicted even with those terrible maladies
will he more or less benetlttcd, if not cured, by Mag
netic Treatment.

paralyzed for four years—four months of that
time I v/us not. able to make a step, or even so
much as move one of my toes on cither foot,
and was entirely destitute of leeling in my

I was examined by forty EianT Confederate
Army Surgeons, all pronouncing me incurable
—having Curvature of the Spine, which pro
duced paralysis. I commenced taking treat
ment of Professor Roberts March 4th, and
now, after taking note treatments, by Animal
Magnetism , I feel like a “ new creature!” 1 can
now stand up, and walk any desired distance ,
without crutches or canes , which was utterly im
possible for more than four years before seeing
Dr. Roberts !

This certifies that I have been a great sufferer
with Rheumatism for five years, my left ankle
being much swollen, very stiff and painful. I
was treated twice, only, by Dr. Roberts, at the
Augusta Hotel, February 18th and 20th, 186S,
and now have not one symptom of Rheumatism
or pain in my body. All the medicine I had
taken seemed to make me worse , and 1 uever
had any relief untill was treated mangnetieally.
People may laugh —but 1 have no more rheu
matic pains—that’s so.

Atlanta, Ga., February 13,1868.
I have been a hopeless invalid for the weary
space of ten or twelve years, laboring under a
combination of dreadful diseases, which have
long since been pronounced incurable. I had
ol late grown rapidly worse until three days
since t was brought to lliis city on a bed, being
eutirely unable to sit up for the purpose of con
sulting the far-famed Prof. Roberts. After the
first treatment, which was only a few minutes,
I was free, of all pain and able to walk any
where, and to-day J feci so well and strong 1
can scarcely realize that I am the same being
who was so feeble and suffering so much three
days since. J can never express my heartfelt
gratitude to tlie man whose wonderful skill lias
thus relieved me of so much inexpressible suf
fering. May God bless the Doctor wherever lie
goes, is my humble prayer.

To whom it mar eorneern ! This will certify
that for eight months past 1 have been afflicted
with Neuralgia in tlie right, side ot the face, and
most of the time suffered most excruciating
pain, during which time I have sought relief in
vain from the regular medical profession; aud
I further certify that i w T as relieved the first
lime 1 was treated by Prof. Roberts, and appa
rently permanently cured after being treated the
third time. I most, confidently recommend him
to all similarly afflicted.

Dr. R. 11. Roberts: This is to certify that I
have, for five years past, been afflicted with
goitre. Physicians pronounced it incurable ,
aud from them 1 obtained no relief, but upon
the contrary continued to grow worse until
treated by you four times, by Animal Magnet
ism, in January and February, 1808, since which
time it lias almost disappeared, and I am en
tirely relieved from suffering with it.
I am very kindly, yours forever,

This certifies that 1 have suffered exceedingly
with a large tumor, on the left side ol my face,
for twenty-five years. During tliis age of tor
ture it has been removed twice by painful sur
gical operations, which only seemed to aggra
vate its growth. YVhen Dr. Roberts came to
Atlanta I took treatment tiy Animal Magnetism ,
aud have been greatly beuefitted by him, in
point of truth, more than by the entire twenty
seven “regular” doctors who have attended
me.
Under the treatment the tumor softened and
reduced iu size, the hearing in my left ear has
been restored, and my left arm, which was al
most useless, has been restored to its original
strength. 1 can now sleep on my left side—a
thing 1 con Id not do for many years before. 1
firmly believe if I could continue the treatment
the tumor would entirely disappear.
