CON STITT JTION AXJST. GhA. SUNDAY MORNING. DEO. 4,1870 FOR CONGREbS. FOB THE LONG TERM, (JEN. D. M. DUBOSE. Os Wilkes County. FOR THE SHORT TERM, STEPHEN A. CORKER. Os Burke County. 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 donel ex-Speaker Clacot, of the New York Legislature, who was sentenced about two years ago to two years’ imprisonment and SIO,OOO fine for revenue frauds. The par don remits the fine."— Telegrm of yesterday. His proper name is Callicot (pronounced Calico). They knew the knave at Charles ton, S. C., we believe, a few years ago. He Is a friend of Horace Greeley, who doubt less will tell, now that he has succeeded in raising a pumpkin, what he knows about 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. [Lynchburg Republican. In the United States just now there are twenty-seven young women studying theol ogy, with a view to becoming preachers ; nineteen are studying law, and sixty-seven are studying medicine. 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.

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 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. Balt.more, December 3.—Louis Diepel was committed to jail, subject to requisi tion from the Government of Prussia, un der the extradition laws, for embezzlement of SIS,COD in Prussia.

On the next day Generals Vinoy, Beizenvel and De preau moved out of the fortifications on a reconnoisance south of L’Hay and Clioisy L’Roi. They attacked the posi tion of the Prussians and carried them.— The Prussians were also dislodged at Granoretors; their loss was severe. Tours, December 2.—The Prussians are concentrating at Etampes, 30 miles south of Paris, to dispute the advance of Pala dincs. Lil.le, December 2.—Ducrot’s sortie from Paris was successful. He is now seeking to effect a junction with Paladiues. * NIGHT DISPATCHES.
