Pkeuarf. fqr Action.— Notwithstand
lug that over two months must yet elapse
before we are called upon to select the suc
cessors of the present Mayor and City
Cotiucil, there are many reasons why the
conservative clubs in the different wards
should be at once revived and reorganized.
In the first place, it is necessary that con
venient and central halls for the meeting of
at least two or three of the clubs should be
provided, and these cannot be secured
without organization and an authorized
head to act in this and the lesser details
requisite to establish headquarters.
In addition, from what street talk and
corner prognostications, (to say nothing of
the devices of “ rings” and half disaffected
aspirants) predict, thore is, we regret to see,
a disposition to encourage a division of
the conservative vote upon mere individual
opposition to fancied candidates. These
little eccentricities of the hour can in no
way be so successfully moulded to the
common preference and general good
of the community as by prompt
and free consultation and discussion at
want meetings, where all may meet upon a
common ground and TTChnsel together in
good faith as to the subjection of individ
ual differences to the success of a ticket
which will preserve the city government to
the management of honest citizens, whose
interests arc thoroughly linked with an
economical and wise administration of its
affairs. Nor should these meetings be left
alone to the control of any single class of
citizens, property holders or non-property
holders. The right of suffrage is to be ex
ercised by all alike ; and while the pecu
niary interest of property holders is para
mount to that of the mere voter, the latter
have an important good to achieve in the
inauguration of a liberal-minded, prudent
aud honest city government. It is the
merest bosh and pot-house balderdash,
just snch as weak stomachs and weaker
minds can appreciate, to lug into our
ensuing municipal election an element
of discord based upon the cry of the
“ people’s ticket” to be made the tocsin to
summon all shades of opposition against a
candidate who may chance to have the mis
fortune of being rich. As this misfortune
should not be made the criterion to esti
mate the worth of a man, neither should
It be taken in evidence against his capacity
and integrity We regret to see a dispo
sition manifested in some quarters to make
poverty the rallying cry in the approach
ing municipal campaign. This is not. an
attribute of heart or. soul, or capacity of
intellect, and has no more to do with the
questions to la* decided in the choice of a
municipal government titan it lias in deter
mining tin* oiierations of the solar system.
We want honest, practical, intelligent can
didates, without any reference to either
wealth or poverty—men who will infuse
life and nerve into the administration, and
who have suffieient capacity to so engineer
the affairs of the city as to promote the
greatest general good. 1C the poorest men
in the city cau best promote this service,
then let us select them, and so of the rich
est, or of any proportionate combination of
tlie two classes. But let some other quali
fications besides poverty or wealth lie re
quired in every instance. We want men
with clean hands, and their hearts in the
right place, and with brains to guide them.
We want no creatures of passion, nor men
of unclean skirts.
If there be divisions upon this, tiro mani
fest interest of all classes, the differences, we
believe, can be adjusted to the success of
the better interests of lire city in the future
by reviving at once the several Conserva
tive clubs in the city, where a free and un
trammeled interchange of views may be
had. Cannot the officers of said clubs put
the ball in motion by calling them together
within the next week ?
Telegraph Tolls to bf. Reduced.--
The Western Union Telegraph Company
have determined to make a general and
material reduction In their tariff of rates,
to take effect October Ist, 1869. Below we

A Terrible Drought. —The long con
tinued drought still prevails in this sec
tion. In consequence, numbers of the
water courses in this county and in Caro
lina are drying up, and we hear of several
wells in the city failing. Ar.d yet, to all
human ken, the heavens seem to be of
brass, with little or no promise of rain.
Now is the time for the faithful to demon
strate the efficacy of prayer, and, as one of
the “ unreconstructed," we Implore them
to do it.
River Trade! Suspended. —ln conse
quence of an almost unprecedented low
river, the river trade between this city and
Savannah has been suspended.. The steam
ers accustomed to ply between these ports
are unable to cross the several bars in the
river, to the great inconvenience of sinp
ers, and to the manifest detriment of plant
ers along the river. It is hoped that this
may be remedied by tiniely rains and a rise
in the river, which, from present appear
ances, however, is not very promising.
Excursionists.— A car load of colored
excursionists from Columbia, S. C., arrived
in the city Monday afternoon, and spent
the day yesterday iu free and easy circula
tion aiming their friends, viewing the at
tractions of Augusta and monopolizing the
street cars.
Recorder’s Court. —Ann Taliaferro
(colored) was arraigued for an Infraction
of the 18th section, and dismissed, on pay
ment of costs yesterday.
Suicide. —At an early hour yesterday
morning a colored female, with eyes flash--
ing lire, and evincing the most complete
unnatural and fevered excitement, appear
ed at the Augusta toll bridge, evidently
<vitli a purpose to mislead her fricuds as to
tlic disposition which she might make of
herself in her frenzied purpose to throw off
the restraiuts which had been so gallingly
placed upon her, especially during the past
Summer. Her excited manner, and the
perfect nudity in which she appeared, at
tracted the attention of Mr. Glover, the as
sistant bridge keeper, who, notwithstand
ing the high state of excitement exhibited,
conceived that a kind word, or perhaps a
caress, might whi her back to former asso
ciations, and save her friends a load of
grief at her untimely departure. To all
appearances, never reckoned philanthropist
more accurately as to the result of a kind
ly effort. She was induced to desist from
the wild execution of her purpose, and
was apparently returning to her friends
a wiser, if not a happier creature.—
Just here, passion again assumed sway,
and she madly rushed for the railroad
bridge, throwing herself directly in front of
the engine of the morning passenger train,
which was just leaving the city. The keen
eye of the engineer detected the movement
of the unfortunate female, and the locomo
tive was halted ere the life-blood of a crea
ture had crimsoned its ponderous wheels.
As if not to be foiled in her desperate pur
pose, the colored female dashed on wildly
to the bridge, which she entered, rushing
forward with superhuman velocity and a
will as born of despair, until within ten or
twelve feet of the entrance she stumbled,
falling through au apperture of the bridge
trestle, upon the rocks below, a distance of
thirty feet, meeting her instant death.—
These were the foolish capers of a favorite
black mare of a colored drayman, who now
proposes tiiat the railroad company shall
pay for the damages, beside the funeral ex
penses, which Col. J. W. M.. don’t exactly

instant, to the night of October sth. He
will treat all diseases, especially those of a
chrouic nature, and may be consulted at
the Planters’ Hotel for the period above
mentioned.
Peace Warrant. —Francis Bugg (color
ed), with a small black bug in her arms, ap
peared before Justice Ells, yesterday, and
sued out a peace warrant against one
Lewis Williams (colored). The defendant
was arrested and the case examined into,
when he was discharged and the costs
visited upon the angry Bugg.
Harper’s Magazine. —We are indebted
to Mr. Silas Cary, whose popular station
ery and news depot is opposite the Post
Office, for a copy of Harper for October.
Mr. Carey lias all the periodicals constant
ly on hand.
Celebration.* —“ The Day we celebrate”
will be observed, this morning,Celling a
large variety of dry goods, notions, etc., at
l lie auction house of Messrs. Day & Dick.
Head the advertisement, and attend the
sale.
Laborers for Louisiana. —Mr. T. Mc-
Donald passed through the city yesterday
afternoon, with seventy-six able-bodied
hands, secured around Wilmington, North
Carolina, for the planters of Louisiana.
Another New Front.—As a further
adornment of Broad street., Mrs. F. Smith
is having a handsome iron front inserted in
her millinery establishment.
Charleston Items. —From the News, of
yesterday, we extract the following :
We learn that the excess of expenditures
of tlie city over its income is about $3,000
per month.
There are between five and six hundred
colored men of Charleston conducting
“business upon their own liook.”
It is reported that there will lie au ordi
nance introduced in Council, providing
that abandoned women shall not occupy
one story houses, or live in the lower story
of any house. In New Orleans and, we be
lieve, in oilier places, there are ordinances
to this effect.
It is reported that there are twelve hun
dred applications upon tile for appoint
ments as policemen. Os this number three
fourths are colored. Among the whites are
a large number of soldiers, who have been
recently discharged, or whose term of ser
vice will expire very shortly.
Tlie order from the Mayor to Governor
Scott, to pay to the Sisters of Mercy the
$5,000 appropriated by Council for the re
lief of the orphan asylum lu charge of the
Sisters of Mercy here, was among the mail
matter consumed when the cars were burnt
in (Jougaree SwamD last Saturday morn
ing. Yesterday the Mayor forwarded a
duplicate, and it is thought the money will
be paid to-day.
A memorial will be presented to Council
to-night, asking that an ordinance be pass
ed providing that all cattle brought to the
city shall be weighed on the public scales.
The weight of a beef is now a mere matter
of guess upon the part of the drovers and
butchers, and some of the drovers complain
that they always “ come out second best.”
The Happy People Augusta, who
have passed the Sunyrier in the country
and at the watrfng places, where, no
doubt, they pleasantly and profitably
amused in studying tlie great
book of are now returning to the
.ncily, and will soon be flocking to Quinn’s
Book and News Depot for the late Fashion
Books, Papers, Novels, &e., to enrich their
fresli aud invigorated minds; and Shaks
pcare’s whining school-boy, his long vaca
tion being over, is now seen, with his
shining morning face, going to Quinn’s to
fill his satchel with Grammars, Geographies,

TO SKEPTICS.
The almost daily receipt of voluntary
testimonials from every part of the coun
try, from Physicians, Clergymen, old and
young, male and female, is sufficient to
convince the most skeptical tllftt DR.
TUTT’S EXPECTORANT is the most
valuable LUNG BALSAM of the age;
many wonderful cures have beeu perform

We have watched the course of so many
distressed, emaciated and forlorn dyspep

who have taken anew lease of life, and
gradually received vigor, strength, health
and the power of social pleasure from the
effects of Plantation Bitters, that we
are not surprised at the testimonials daily
received. If it is a pleasure to do good in
the world, how full must lie the measure

STATEMENT OF
A. HULBERT, Esq,
(A. AND W. R. R )
ATLANTA, SEPT. 11,1869.
Dr. J. M. Foster —Empire Block:
Dear Sir : After suffering from an aggra
vated case of Catarrh in the head for over
thirty years, 1 placed myself under your
I'mij ■ aP#* - ’**** —. ~
treatnrenr ATHne annoyances entailed bjfjyu©
disease are well known to mostevery one, and
1 was compelled for years to endure them.
The partition separating the nostrils was ulcer
ated and perforated. 1 had an indescribable
dull, heavy feeling over the brows, almost
constantly. My memory was noticeably im
paired. My nose gave off an offensive, and at
times, hardened mnens that was very disagree
able.
This was my condition three weeks ago,
when I placed ray case in your hands. During
this short lime the result has been a remarka
ble change for the better in every feature of
the case. The dull feeling gone—the ulcera
tions healed—the memory good—in fact my
head feels like a uow one throughout, while
my general health and spirits are greatly im
proved.
In fact, sir, your entire management of my
case has been admirable, and 1/therefore con
fidently recommend you to tlie afflicted.

(Firm of
Dr. J. M. Foster: Having been a sufferer
from a serious malady in the head for several
years,* and failing to obtain any relief for it
through the usual means employed by the gen
eral practitioner of medicine, whose efforts it
had so often baffled, I placed myself under yonr
admirable system of treatment, through the ad
vice of my physician (in whose judgment 1 re
posed great confidence.) 1 have been follow
ing your treatment bnt ten days only, and the
relief has been so substantial, the head so
much improved, and the general change so
. marked, that 1 tender you this testimonial in
the hopes that you will soon make a second
visit to Augusta, and that others may have the
advantage of your successful-practice aud skill.
Hoping yon may decide upon an early return,
1 remain, yours truly,
J. G. GALLEHER.
Augusta, Ga., August 24, 1869.
From 001. James M. Ball.
Atlanta, Ga., July 14,1869.
Dr. J. M. Foster :
Dear Sir : Having been relieved by you of
a partial deafness of some years’ standing, 1
take pleasnre in having yon refer to me. I had
suffered considerable annoyance from my deaf
ness, besides having noises in the ear, which
were particularly disagreeable. A few days
ago I was operated upon by ypft-withfiatter
ing success. You did not cause me the least
pain whatsoever, and I can how hear as perfect
ly as ever.
Tendering you my thanks and gratilnde, I
am, yours truly, JAMES M. BALL.
From Eou. A. A. Gaulding,
Late Judge of Spalding County Gourt—Member
of Legislature, etc. '
Atlanta, Ga., July 28, 1869.
Dr. J. M. Foster :
Dear Sir : Having been afflicted with a very
annoying Throat and Bronchial difficulty (that
induced a constant cough), of some years’
standing, I placed myself under yonr system of
treatment, and I am happy to announce a very
marked improvement after bnt little more than
a week’s attention, and from present favorable
indications, I think a perfect cure will be the
result. . ' A. A. GAULDING.
From N. P. Hotcbkis, Esq.,
(AUDITOR of the w. and a. r. r.)
Dr. J. if. Fatter: Observing that your
patients report to you by letter their improve
ment, I wish to state that you have very much
benefltted my wife, who had been quite deaf for
twenty years. Bbe has been under yonr treat
ment but a few days, and can now hear the
piano and guitar in an adjacent room, and the
rain npon the roof—something she could not.
do for o long time past.

Ayer’s Sarsaparilla,
FOR PURIFYING THE BLOOD.
The reputation this ex.
-«*. ceHent medicine enjoys.
St ia derived from its cures,
A loS many of which are of a
AS* v - JsE truly marvellous char-
A' actcr. Inveterate cases
ff A m of Scrofula, where tho
/( tWi system seemed utterly
/g,'X JWk given up to corruption,
ntewjßAi 1 'WtSJ have yielded to this com-
NajaflF 9 ■ pound of anti-strumous
virtues. Disorders of a
•'• scrofulous type, and al
lections which are merely
aggravated by the presence of scrofulous matter,’
have been radically cured in such numerous in
stances, in every settlement in the country, that the
public do not need to be informed here that it is iu
most cases a specific and absolute remedy.
Scrofulous poison is one of the most destructive
enemies of our race. Often, this unseen and nnfelt
tenant of the organism undermines the constitution,
and invites the attack of enfeebling or fetal diseases,
without exciting a suspicion of its presence. Again,
it seeing to breed infection throughout the body, and.
then, on some favorable occasion, rapidly develop
into one or other of ita hideous forms, either on the
surface or among the vitals. In the latter, tuber
cles may be suddenly deposited in the lungs or
heart, or tumors formed in the liver. These fecta
make the occasional use of the Sarsaparilla aa a
preventive, advisable. ,
It is a mistake to suppose that so long as no erup
tions or humors appeal’, there must be no scrofulous
taint. These forms of derangement may never
occur, and yet the vital forces of the body be so re
duced by its subtle agency, as materially to impair
the health and shorten the duration of life. It is a
common error, also, that scrofula is strictly heredi
tary. It does, indeed, descend ft-om parent to child,
but is also engendered in persons bom of pure
blood. Low living, indigestion, foul air, licentious
habits, uiicleanlinesa, and the depressing vices gen
erally, produce it. Weakly constitutions, where not
fortinea by the most constant and judicious care,
are peculiarly liable to it. Yet tho robust, also,,
whose turbid blood swells the veins with an appar
ently exuberant vitality, are often contaminated,
and on the road to its consequences. Indeed, no
class or condition can depend on immunity from
it, nor feel insensible to the importance of an effec
tual remedy. • •
jf jn St. Anthony’s fire, Hose or Erysipelas .
for Setter, Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Ring
worm. Sore Ears and Eyes, and other eruptive
or visnduJprms of the diseases caused primarily by
the serotinous infection, the Sarsaparilla is so ef
ficient as robe indispensable. And in the more
concealedfonns, asjp Dyspepsia,Dropsy, Heart
Disease, Fits, Epilepsy, Neuralgia, and other
affections of the muscular and nervous systems, the
Sarsaparilla, through its purifying power, re
moves me cause of the disorder ana produces aston
ishing cures. ■—•**i '
The sarsaparilla root of the tropics does not by
itself achieve these results. It is aided by the ex
tracts combined with It, of Still greater power. So
potent is this union of healing virtues, Syphilis or
Venereal and Mercurial Diseases are cured by
it, though a long time is required for subduing these
obstinate maladies by any medicine. Leucorrhcea.
or Whites, Uterine Ulcerations, and Female
Diseases in general, are commonly soon relieved
uni ultimately cured by the invigorating and puri
lying effect of our Sarsaparilla. Rheumatism
and Gout, often dependent on the accumulations of
extraneous matters in tho blood, have their remedy
also in this medicine. For Liver Complaints ,
torpidity, inflammation, abcess, etc., caused by
rankling poisons in the blood, we unhesitatingly
recommend the Sarsaparilla.
This medicine restores health and vigor where no
specific disease can be distinguished. Its restora
tive power is soon felt by those who are Languid,
Listless, Despondent, Sleepless, and filled with.
Nervous Apprehensions or Fears, or who are
troubled with any other of those affections symp
tomatic of weakness. Many, after taking it for
General Debility, lutve written us of the youth
ful vigor imparted to their nervous system, which.
‘ seemed buoyant with that prolific life they thought
had departed on the advance of age. Others, whose
fountains of life were always sterile, acknowledge
their obligations to it for an obvious change.
