CONSTITUTIONALIST.
ATJfiUTSTA. Q-A.
SUNDAY MOENIWft. NOV- 6, 1870
OUR CITY ELECTION.
It was no doubt the intention of Messrs.
Conley, Tweedy * Cos., when they pre
pared their bill of abominations extending
the limits of Augusta, to do away with
registration entirely, or else reduce it to a
practical nullity. But they either did not
know how to manage the matter, or else,
like the majority of tricksters, overshot
the mark. Even as the bill stands, regis
tration is still imperatively necessary, and no
man can vote without enrolling his name on
the registry list. The poll tax is not re
quired and certificates are not obligatory;
but registration is essential to the casting
of ballots. We sound this note of warning
In time, because many persons labor under
the erroneous, and, it may be, fatal persua
sion, that registration itself is abolished.
This, we repeat, is not so. It you do not
register you can not vote. Verbum sap.
ACCEPTANCE OF JUDGE CORKER.
We publish this morning the correspond
ence between the Democratic Committee
of the Fifth District and Judge 8. A.
Couker, nominee for Congress for the
short-term. Judge Corker's letter is
short, decisive, and must prove entiiely
satisfactory to the party. He was a brave
soldier during the war, on the right side,
suffered imprisonment for the faith, and,
though his disabilities have been removed,
no suspicion of any kind, we are glad to
know, attaches to him in consequence.
Judge Corker stands upon the Demo
cratic platform a3 laid down by the At
lanta Convention. That is good and true
doctrine, absolutely on the right line, and
any man who fully subscribes to it, as
Judge Corker does, is worthy of the cor
dial and unanimous support of the party.
ACCEPTANCE OF GEM. D. M. 0U BOSE.
By the mail of last evening, the Commit
ted, appointed by tfie Democratic Nomi
natingConventioH of this District to .inform
Gen. Dußose of his Jbr the^
42d Congress, received, wrejdyfrem lb at
gentleman accepting
the party. We pubjjg| Okjh*
ceptance in ’f.
Corker. Gm.
as a strict Jeffersonian Dem| jaf| Therw
is the ring of the true metal brief hu4|
patriotic utterance, and the party .will mlyj
to his support as one man. •
THE NOVEMBER ELECTIONS.
Elsewhere we publish very full and im
portant statistics relative to the elect’ons
wihich occur this week. On Monday,
Louisiana and Arkansas vote. On Tues
day, the following States will hold elec
tions: Maryland, Delaware, Florida, Illi
nois, Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts,
Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, -Nevada,
New Jersey, New York, lthode Island,
Tennessee, Virginia and Wisconsin.
As the returns will be looked for with
considerable interest, we advise the cu
rious in such matters to preserve this copy
okthe Constitutionalist.
• *‘uwn. "jwja i"i ” 1 ITU'U 'Tlia'B'
North Carolina has emancipated herself
from the infamous domination of Holden
& Cos., and anew Legislature is about to
take charge, we hope, of her State Govern
ment ; it. is to be expected that a true man
will go to Washington in place of the ad
venturer whose term will soon expire. In
this connection it affords us pleasure to see
the name of Gen. Matt W. Ransom men
tioned for a seat in the Federal Councils
as Senator. Gen. Ransom is personally
known to us as a noble specimen of Southern
manhood. When North Carolina determin
ed to share the fate of her sister States, it
was easy enough to decide where he would
be found. From the commencement to the
close of that terrible struggle, he served
his State and country with a daring and
skill that reflected honor on the distin
guished lineage front which he sprang.—
His military career is too well known to
require other titan mere mention. It stands
a part of our country’s history.
We feel assured that, in aspiring to re
present North Carolina in the Senate, Gen.
Ransom is animated by the same love for
Constitutional Liberty and correct princi
ples which made him draw his sword.—
Thus persuaded, we are glad to know that
his chances ior success are vet y conspl
cious.
Another Victim. —Baltimore, being
overwhelmingly Democratic, is threatened
with the military on Tuesday next, elec
tion day. The New York Express, allud
ing to the coercion business generally,
says:
“ The city which called forth the ‘ Star
Spangled Banner ’ during the threatened
bombardment by British ships and British
invaders, ought not to be thus insulted;
nor ought the city of New York, which
once did its best to keep out a hired foreign
soldiery, and which has rejoiced every No
vember over its evacuation from foreign
mercenary troops, quartered upon the peo
ple in time of peace. The Federal authori
ties, by their usurpations and innovations,
we regret to say, are doing their very best
to destroy that love and respect which
good citizens would like to have for a pa
rental Government.”
We are very sorry for Baltimore, but liot
much for New York. The War Democracy
of the latter city are about ten years behind
the age with their regrets.
Dr. Deems’ Sermons. —We have received
a neat little pamphlet containing one of
the sermons preached by the Rev. Dr.
Deems, at the Church of the Strangers, in
New York. The sermons of Dr. Deems will
be issued from time to time by Little,
Rennie & Cos., 645 and 647 Broadway.
The price of the publication is $4 a year, or
10 cents a number.
Trooly Loil. —Chief Justice Brown in
vested nearly $50,000 in the Mitchell prop
erty at Atlanta. “ Col.” E. F. Blodgett
was more modest; fifteen thousand was
the extent of his pile.
West Virginia. —The recent political
contest in West Virginia was a square one
between whites and blacks, Democrats and
Radicals. The result is before / the world.
Lucky.—A Mr. Hellman drew the
SIOO,OOO prize in the San Francisco lottery.
He got his ticket accidentally and through
the generosity of a friend.
Red Cloud. —This noted Indian has been
interviewed. He is very mad with the
President-General, and accuses him of
having “a forked tongue,” or, in other
Words, fibbing.
A Novelty.— The address of the Demo
cratic Executive Committee of Tennessee,
contains the following lines from Father
RYAN:
* # « The land of the wreck and the tomb—
There is grandeur in graves, there is glory in
gloom; •
For out of the gloom future brightness is
boru,
As after the night looms the bright coming
morn;
And the craves of the dead with grass over
grown
May yet prove the footstool of Liberty e
throne,
And each single wreck in the war path ot
might , "
Will yet make a rook in the temple of right.
It is not usual to quote poetry In a po
litical address, but how much better is
good verse, even in such doenmeuts, titan
bad doctrine and sneaking prose twad
dlings about “dead issues,’’ “accepting
the situation,” etc. -
The Black List. —The Democratic
papers of New York, from day to day, fill
whole columns with a black list of the
thieves, murderers, pimps, panderers and
loafers generally who have been appointed
by Grant &Cos , to supervise the New
York election and make it an ‘ ‘honest one.”
Our New York Correspondence.
New York, November 8,1870.
The canvass in this city for the next
election assumes a quieter aspect, and an
ticipations of violence on election day
(nfxt Tuesday) seem to be generally aban
doned. The more peaceful aspect of affairs
seems to be due to various causes. As 1
stated last week, the votes of the troublous
districts in this city aie needed to elect
Holfman. Besides, even with the reduced
majority in this city, which Radical bayo
nets will be able to effect, the State is
m-ettv certain to go Democratic by 90,000
majority, and, with the Dtate Democratic,
such measures as may be necessary to
- counteract Federal aggressions may be
adopted. The Republican canvass of the
State concedes Hofftnan a majority of
17,001), aud the leaders of that party are
now turning their attention to a
majority in the lower branch of the Legis
lature. , _
The registry in this city concluded on
Tuesday. In the lower part of the city
(below 14th street) there is a diminished
cumber of voters registered, but this little
more than ref ects the crowding out of resi
dences by warehouses. Up town, in the
Democratic election districts, there is an
increase over last year, aDd in the Republi
can districts a decrease; the whole 'orm
ing a fair basis for an estimate of 50,000
majority, against 38,000 last year and
70000 two years ago. The attention of
the people to the duty of registering was
called, on Monday, by the simultaneous
discharge of bombs in all parts of the city.
L'rhe effect was quite exciting, and the sound
■thereof, in a near suburb, was like that of
ISm rapid firing of artillery upon a field of
HOkle. Willoughby.

Gentlemen: Your letter notifying me
that “at a meeting of the Convention of
the Democratic party for the Fifth Con
gressional District, held on the 25th of
October, in the city of Augusta,” I was
nominated as the candidate for the Forty
second Congress, has been duly received.
I return my thanks to the convention for
the honor conferred upon me and accept the

than that I heaTtily endorse the platform of
the Democratic party of the Union, adopt

convention of Georgia on the 18th of
August last.
If I should be elected I pledge myself to
the people to support and maintain the
time-honored principles of the Democratic
party as announced by Thomas Jefferson
Its founder, and under which the peoples of
all the States were,so happy and prosperous
for seventy years of the existence of the
present Federal Uuiou.
I am, gentlemen, with great respect, your
obedient servant, D. M. Dußose.
Marshal Bazaine. —All doubts about
the character of the capitulation of Metz
are now dispersed. The garrison and the
inhabitants so suffered for want of food
that a surrender was imperatively demand
ed by humanity and by the rules and tra
ditions of war between civilized nations.
As far, therefore, as the simple act of sur
render is concerned, Bazaine stands free
fromgany reproach of treason or collusion
with the Prussian army. Hecould not act
differently. It is an extremely painful
thought that a man who evidently did his
best, and who had by various sallies from
the city showu more bravery and good
generalship than any other French com
mander, should now be accused of-treason,
when he surrendered to a terrible, but un
avoidable, fatality. Those Who thus wan
tonly accuse the brave officer happily can
not tarnish the fame of a man who might
have done immense service to his country
had he from the start been free in his ac
tions.—Missouri Republican.
Death of a Physician.— Among the re
cent yellow fever victims in Mobile was
Dr. Dabney Herndon, who fell in the dis
charge of his professional duties to the
sick. He was a native of Virginia, -and a
brother of the late Lieutenant Herndon, of
the United States Navy, who perished at
his post a few years ago, while In com
mand of the steamship Central America.
The electiou of Gen. Custis Lee to the
Presidency of Washington College gives
general satisfaction. A Courier-Journal
correspondent writes: “He is peculiarly
the person for the position. He was easily
first in all his classes at West Point, and
considerably resembles his father in ap
pearance, manner and character. Young,
vigorous and earnest, he will devote him
self zealously to the work.”
A man in Sonoma, who was too lazy to
chop feed for his aged horse, determined to
sharpen the teeth of the charger so that he
could do his own chopping. The experi
ment was a success. The horse died under
the operation, and it was not discovered
until all the teeth had been filed,

OBITUARY.
Departed this life, In the city of Augusta,!!*., 09
the 21st day of October, 1870, of Congestion of the
Brain, Mr*. A» Theresa Meredith, wife ofJajne#
W. Meredith, aged 42 ye#rs. j
In her death, society has lost an ornament, fie p< or
a sincere Mend and the Church an exemplary Amber-
Forgetting seif, in all her actions, she lived Lly for
the good of others. For her family, site diet i«ed the
warmest affection, and seemed to autlcipatfc their
eveiy want, setting them a virtuous exampltfgivlng
them good counsel, and comforting them 1 their
hours of trouble. For the poor, she had alfitye an
open baud and a woid of sympathy—never Toning
the suppliant for charity away from her do.tr
fied. For religion, she had the highest resplt and
reverence; and about two years before herfdeath
united herself with the Catholic Church, oKwhich
sbte proved a most consistent and exemplaiy nAmber.
In the hour of her dissolution she had the satiahetion
of receiving its consoling sacraments, and tfiih its
blessings on her, her immortal soul passed ho the
realms of bliss.
Asa wife, as a mother, as a mistress—in all be re
lations of life-she was a devotee of duty, auinever
willingly left any ot,ligation resting upon tho* rela
tions unfulfilled. And as she lived, so she died. Em
bracing within herself all those virtues which insti
tute the crowning glory of woman, she lived trbless’
In r family and her friends with her life; fulfiliikg all
the duties required of the sincere Christian, sbTdjed
as became such a one, We.sing, in her death, ail who
witnessed her resignation and submission to the will
of her Heavenly Father. Thus, she has parsel away
from earth, and husband and children and friends
mourn her lr ss, yet not a» one dead; for they faol (hat
she has gone to receive the promised reward/her
dear Lord, and to dwell in “ the communion of ►fnts,"
