A FEW PLAIN FACTS FOR THE CON
SIDERATION OF THE COLORED
VOTERS OF AUGUSTA.
The annual election for a Mayor and
members of Council will be held next Wed
nesday, December the 7th.
It is not the object of this article
to solicit your votes, but to urge you
to consider iully and calmly your posi
tion in its relation to the best interests
of the community in which you live,
for you are and must be Identified with
the prosperity of our beautiful city so
long as you reside in it.
The city of Augusta owes a very
large debt in bonds bearing an interest
of seven per cent. This debt is so
large that the interest alone amounts
to about one hundred thousand dollars
every year. This hundred thousand dol
lars with the additional amount neces
sary to pay the police, the street hands and
other expenses, must be raised every year
by a tax on the property the business
and the labor of the people. Now, if the
debt is made larger, the interest will be
greater, and the taxes must be increased in
proportion. The city tax at this time on
property is two per cent, or two dollars on
every one hundred dollars worth owned
by white or colored in the city.
This high rate of taxation prevents im
provements, because if a man builds a
house worth, with the lot, SI,OOO, he must
pay to the city a tax on it of S2O every
year. If the’ house be worth $2,000, he
must pay S4O every year, and if It be worth
SIO,OOO, he must pay a tax of 200 every
year, besides paying State and county taxes.
If it were not for this high rate of city
taxation, many wealthy persons from the
North and other sections would make Au
gusta their home; would bring their money
here and invest it 4n houses and lots, or
buy lots and build houses.
Nearly all the property iu the city is
owned by the white people, and nearly
every colored man in the city earns a living
for himself and his family, if he has one,
by employment given him by the white
men.
Therefore you can easily understand that
whatever adds to the prosperity of the city,
or whatever may injure its financial condi
tion, or property, or business, will affect
alike white and colored.
The white men who, by toil and economy,
have saved a little money and invested it
iu houses aud lots as homes for their fami
lies, must very naturally feel a deep inter
est iu the resu't of this city election, and
they must also as naturally feel keenly dis
appointed, if not angered, at seeing many
of you who earn your bread in their em
ployment so active and bitter In your ef
forts against what they consider for the
beat interest of the city.
If any of yon owned property in the city,
a* we suppose nrny of you in time maybe
able to do, or were carrying on business,
would you feel kindly and friendly towards
persons whom you employed that worked
against what you deemed to be your inter
est ? You would not, because it is not hu
man nature to do so.
Be not deceived. You may repent what
you do when it is too late. Bitterness of feel
ing, and a disregard for the welfare of
those who employ you, are sure to beget dis
like, if not anger, on their part; and no
law that ever has been, or that ever will be
passed by Congress, or any other body of
law makers, can compel men to hire, or to
keep in their employ, those they do not
want.
Think calmly before yon act. Do not be
led, or bribed, or flattered, or driven by
threats, to array in" yourselves as a race, or
class, against the best interests of the city,
against its peace and good name.
Many of you—yes, a great many of you
—know that, when in want or trouble, you
have appealed to the old and solid white
citizens, with whom yon were raised, for
aid and comfort; and you also know that
you received help, wlieu yonr appeals to
the white scalawags and ambitious men of
your own color were treated with indiffer
ence, if not contempt. Think of these
things.
W; could give many strong examples in
proof of those appeals having been made
and of the help extended to your color by
their old-time white friends, but we will
mention ouly one. It is this: The most
active and vindictive colored man in Au
gusta now, in urging his race to unite
against the respectable whites of the city.
was caught In the very act of stealing cot
ton from a warehouse. He and his son
were arrested and were to be prosecuted
for the crime, and the penitentiary for ten
years seemed to be their just fate. But, in
the day of their distress, when all other
chances of escaping their just doom seemed
hopeless, they piteously appealed to the
sympathy of one of onr best and always
most kind hearted citizens to negroes,
whether they were slaves or free. This
gentleman, in the kindness of his heart,
from having known that old man for many
years, with several other old citizens, suc
ceeded, after much trouble, in persuading
the owner of the cotton to drop the case and
permit the old man and his son to go Tree.
These gentlemen, who acted only from
the noblest impulses of the heart, are large
property holders and prominent business
men of the city, and that old negro man
repays their kindness with bitterness and
hate. Other instances of such base return
for kindly aid could be given, but this one
is sufficient.
We do not ask your votes for the
Democratic candidates, but we urge you
again to consider your position and
what is best under all the circumstances
for the prosperity of the city, and, there
fore, for your own welfare.
Such is Fame. —“ The President has Dar

JpAXiLICQT*
RADICAL LOVE FOR THE ASPIRING
AND INFERIOR NEGRO.
We have never advocated, and do not in
tend to advocate, what Is called “ courting
the negro vote.” But none the less is it
our duty, as a public journalist, to warn,
instruct and counsel that class of our popu
lation which has been lugged into danger
ous prominence, of late years, in order to
further the schemes of wicked men of an
other race. The preacher expostulates aud
reasons with his congregation, leaving
them, on their own responsibility, to heark
en or not, as they please, unto the teaching
of the Master. He sorrowfully knows,
perhaps, that many who listen to him have
stony hearts and barren consciences; but
none the less is it his duty to continue his
earnest task at all suitable opportunities,
and strive, by all lawful means, to soften
the hard heart, to penetrate the callous
mind, to enlighten the darkened soul and
guide aright the crooked understanding.
And this, in some degree, is the position
which we have taken as a writer for the
press. It is notour intention,in this place to
recapitulate what his beeu said to the ne
groes, over and over again, in the Consti
tutionalist. Elsewhere, in this column,
a pertinent, plain and practical view is
taken of the subject. We invite the atten
tion of the black people to it. What we
would simply impress upon their minds
just here is the fact that when the lowly of
their people get into scrapes of any kind,
the designing Radical whites, who use
them for their own profit, always stand
aloof when trouble comes. So much for
the poor ignorant negroes. The treatment
received by the leading mulattoes is not any
better. In proof of this we call attention
to the following paragraph from the Balti
more Sun:
Opposition to a Colored Congress
man—Senator Sawyer (Republican), of
South Carolina, has sent to each Senator
and Representative in Congress a pamphlet
in which he furiously assails the board of
State canvassers for awarding the certifi
cate of election to a seat in the United
States House of Representatives to R. C.
DeLarec (colored). Mr. Sawyer contends
that the decision of the board was entirely
unfair, and that Mr. C. C. Bowen (white)
was entitled to the seat.
Every black man or yellow man can
draw his own conclusions.
High Life.— The New York Star having
heard of several marriages in “ high life,” is
anxious to know what constitutes that
blissful state. He asks:
“Is money High Life, or does the fact of
acquaintance with a reporter make High
Life, oris political aspiration High Life?
* * * Or is it High Life when a man
dresses and uudresses in the public eye,
opens up his most private affairs to the re
porter’sgaze, and seeks offensive notoriety ? ’
The Star's experience satisfies him that
the majority of men and women who start
from nothing grow rich by the sale of farm
property for city lots for fabulous prices ;
by keeping eating houses, looking sharp
after the slush barrels etc. They itch to
see their names In print, to have their
daughters called “ lovely,” and these, the
Star says, arc the sum and substance of the
present prospective happiness of nine-tenths
of the fools who are chronicled as movers in
“High Life” in New York.
Pleased. —The editor of the CotMjJr-
Journal thus speaks of his experience
Frenchmen. Mid Germans:
“ Our duty, as a neutral, and our recipro
cal obligation to France and Germany,
pointed out tq
middle
everybody.”
He adds, however, that he succeeded in
pleasing himself, and so ends the chapter
with perfect satisfaction. It makes very
little difference, apparently, any other way.
Something Strange. —King William
claims several important victories, but
seems to have dissolved partnership with
“Providence.” Either King William’s
victories arc not great enongh to thank
God for, or else he has reached that perfect
independence of the supernatural which
Nebuchadnezzar attained before he
“ went to grass.”
Bard’s Somersault.— Dr. Bard, the “big
Injun” of Idaho, has made another shift
in his politics, and now the True Georgian
is a full blown Democratic journal. The
Doctor’s politics is like a Cyprian’s virtue ;
it hangs upon his sleeve, ready to be pluck
ed by the first comer; but we don’t know
what John Hoffman, the present Governor
of New York, has done, that he should be
persecuted by being Bard’s figure head for
the next President. As for Gen. Gordon,
whom Bard nominates for next Governor,
we understand he is so mortified that he
hardly knows what to do with himself.
Won’t somebody drown old Bard? He is
getting to be a public nuisance.
[Griffin Star.
Breaking Up op Steamers One of the
most striking evidences of the decline of
our commercial marine is uoticeable in the
fearful sacrifices made in the sale of steam
ships by auction and otherwise. Referring
to this subject, the Boston TraveJ'er re
marks : *
A well-known Arm in this city has ac
cumulated a fortune in purchasing at low
figures ocean and coasting steamers, taking
out the machinery, and breaking up the
hulls for copper, iron and other valuable
material. Quite recently they purchased
for a trifling sum the beautiful steamship
Ocm.nnln, now lvin*f in the <IooU bet,TTCell
the Old Colony Railroad and South Boston
bridge. This steamer is only eight years
old, built in the most thorough manner of
seasoned timber, coppered and copper fast
ened throughout, and of superb model. A
few days since the same firm purchase 1 at
auction in New York the well-known and
famed steamers Alabama and Morning Star
for the trifling sum of $30,C30.
These once famous vessels, costing nearly
half a million each, are to be broken up for
old junk. No wonder ship builders are
bankrupt and onr foreign commerce in a
galloping decline, when steamships and
sailing vessels can find no employment at
remunerative rates. Is there no remedy
for this rapid and sure decay of our com
mercial marine ? What are the causes of
the failure of this great and vital element
of our mercantile success ? Why are foreign
nations reaping the rich harvests of the
ocean carrying trade? Is not the explana
tion to be lonud in the fact that they pro
tect and encourage their foreign commerce,
w hile our Government,instead of encourage
ment, throws obstacles in our way of suc
cess? Not satisfied with the excessive
taxation on every material used in build
ing a ship or steamer, every vessel is taxed
at the rate of thirty cents on each ton of
measurement. This may seem an insignifi
cent sum, but it amounts on a vessel of
1,000 tons to the respectable sum of 1300.
This is one of the “ straws which break the
camel’s back.”
Edward A. Pollard, Esq.— We regret
to learn that there is very little hope for
the recovery of this gentleman, who left
this city for New York about a week
since, in search of medical advice. Re is
at the house of his brother-in-law, Dr. Par
ker, in New York, and so far from being
benefltted by his visit, his symptoms have
become worse. His complaint is that
known as Bright’s disease, an aggravated
affectiou of the kidneys, and which is gen
erally regarded as incurable.

twenty-seven young women studying theol

BY TELEGRAPH.
i Associated Frew Dispatches.
NOON DISPATCHES.
New York, December B.—The Tribune's
correspondent with Garibaldi’s headquar
ters at Autun, writes Thursday that the
Prussians yesterday afternoon attacked
Autun with 12 cannon, infantry and cavalry.
They were repulsed with great loss. The
Prussians shelled the city. The Mobiles
behaved well.
A correspondent of the Tribune tele-
graphs at 2 o’clock Thursday, from Ver
sailles, that fighting on the 30th was fol
lowed by no fresh movements. Yesterday
there was a lull in the fire from the forts;
to-day, again, there is heavy firing in the
direction of Charenton.
A Tribune correspondent telegraphs at 8
o'clock Friday morning, from Orleans,
that the Army of the Loire was at that mo
roeat leaving Oileans, and that the Prus
sians were concentrating at Janville and
Pithcviors.
A World special from Tours, Friday, an
nounces that Trochu and Palladines had
junctioned, and the siege of Paris virtually
raised.
Philadelphia, December 3. —The Girard
Iron Tube Works were burned. Loss.
$175,000. There are 350 workmen out of
employment.
Washington, December 3. —Foreign ad
vices are much confused. The impression
exists in diplomatic circles that the French
have made a brilliant effort, and that at
last authentic advices were pushing t.lielr
advantage; but the best geographers to
locate armies—the French Legation here —
think the story of the war will be told
within the next four days.
Up to the last hour, nothing from Eu
rope through regular channels. No Liver
pool markets recsived this morning.
Note. —Dispatches from private sources
are compiled from the correspondence of
the great banking houses.
A cable from private sources, dated Lon
don, the 3d, says: “By sifting the vast
number of confused and contradictory war
dispatches, received up to a late hour this
morning, the fact is undeniable that the
French forces, yesterday, actually won a
victory, as claimed by them, near Orleans,
but the Germans ceiiaiuly repulsed the
French attack before Paris. It is not true
that the French Army of the L >ire effected
a junction with Trochu, though the Prus
sian lines were repeadly successfully pierced
during the engagement. The bayonet
charges of the French were excellent.”
Berlin, December 3.—The treaty ad
mitting Bavaria into North Germany was
ratified by the Federal Council. The Ba
varian Diet will act on the treaty on the
10th inst.
EVENING DISPATCHES.

The Democrats of the General Assembly
■are caucassing nightly upon the subject of
impeaching Gov. Holden, and calling a
stricted constitutional convention.
Hon. Jos. Turner, editor of the Raleigh
States Senator T. L
enFonhter’ on the
streets this morning. Canes were freely
used. Mr. Cling.nan was very badly in
jured about the head, having received three
or four severe blows. Mr. Turner received
one very severe blow. Mr. Cliogman m de
the assault. The difficulty originated in
some strictures appealing in the Satind
upon Mr. C.
Montgomery, December 3.—No change
in the status. Both Houses meet Monday.
Developments are hoped for then.
New York, December 3.—The cable was
engaged all day sending accumulated bus
iness eastward.
A Worl l special from London says a tel
egram dated Tours, 2d, says it is officially
stated to-night that one or two days must
yet elapse before the fruits of movements
now in progress may be fully reaped. Up
to this time the most complete success has
attended the successive steps taken. Every
movement brings nearer each other the
armies of the Loire and Paris. During the
fighting of the 30th, Ducrot and Venoy
captured four Prussian guus and many
prisoneu.

preau moved out of the fortifications on
