The Constitution of Georgia.

1t is held bS several Of our OK
changes that the recently adopted
Constitution Of Georgia works on ex-
tensive disqualification to negro vo-
tiers. The New Constitution pre-
scrib.s that the citizen in order to
vote "shall have paid all taxes which
may hereafter be required of him and
Of which he may have an opportunity
of paying, agreeaF ~ to law, except
for tile year of election" In many
cases this would require The payment
Of several years taxes in order 10 vote.
The Georgia correspondent Of the
New York World says that the pro
vision twill result in The permanent
distranchisement of large number OF
the voters OF the State and a conse-
quent decrease in Congressional re-
presentation. Uuder the old consti-
sutton voters Disqualification
TO vote BY reason of non-payment Of
taxes ceased yearly. Under the new
constitution Of 1877 such d;squalili-
cation increases until in the case oil
poor men, it must become impossible
OF removal and permanent. Every
year the disqualification accumulates
and every year the disfranohiscd viii
increase in number, until in thc
course Of eight or ten years, I deem
it no exaggeration to say that from
sixty TO eighty thousand of the We
tcrs of Georgia will be permanent,
disfranchiscd, and at the next ap
portionment Of Representatives til,
State will lose several Representa-
tives, and thus be shorn Of her powe
and dignity in the National councils.
II the al owe statement is true, i
will be seen that this piece Of Unjust
ice toward the poor and colored We
ters carries its own punishment, an
very grave enc it is.

To our Patrons.
A Happy New Year to you all.

A Happy New Year to you all.
Before another issue OF the Herald
reaches our readers, the year 1877
will have become thing of the past.
We have once more reached the mile
stone that counts the years and marks
the ages. Like all other years waste
and distraction has marked its pro-
gress more or less; death has come
suddenly to many, on the battle field
and on the broad ocean, in tie cot
and palace, and prince and peasant
have had to succumh. Truly in tie
midst Of life we arc in death. On the
other hand, the granarics Of our land
are full, and the great world OF In.
mainly has been undcniably best
and the Hand Of plenteousnc5 has
been opened wide. Although the mca.
sure OF prosperity that has been meted
out to Us has been melted with a very
sparing hand, yet we would not con.
plain, but are thankful for small ia
vors, and we hope that in the coming
year the Herald will find its way init
more families than heretofore, so tina
both printer and subscriber may b
gamers thereby. We make no prom
Uses for the future but prefer to lie
our readers judge for themselves Q
the improvements VIC intend maxim;
in the future career Of the Herald.

The feeling In India Oh the Russo.
Turkish War.

1t is curious circumstance that,
while the Turkophile journals in Eng
land have been strenuous in insisting
that Russian successes imperil Eng
lands supremacy in india, those Eng
lish!nen who are in India have learned
to dread the effect Of Turkish victor
les more than RUSSIA. When the
Turkish fortunes were in the ascen-
dant, the Mahometan subjects of Eng
land became so exceedingly elated
that there was no knowing what they
might do. Certain leading Turkish
state1man have been for some tire
intriguing to bling about the estab.
lishment of a vast league Of Islam,
which should unite all the Mohamme-
dams in Europe, Africa and Asia, and
would prove g9at annoyance to
Eng gland. A Turkish success in the
present war would greatly strengthen
this movement, and make it q source
OF real danger. For this reason many
Anglo-Indians consider that Russian
trlumphs are less menacing TO The In.
dian Empire than Turkish.

General Banning represents at pre-

SEA WEED ToNIo.

In the atmosphere experienced here during
the summer months, the legarthy produced by
the heat takes away the desire for wholesome
food, and frequent persplrations reduce bodily
energy, particularly those suffering from tho
effects OF facilitating diseases. In order TO
keep natural healthful activity OF the system
we must resort to artificial means. For this
purpose schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is very
efTectual. few doses will create an appetite
and give fresh vgor 10 the enervated body.
For dyspepsia, IL is Invaluable. Many eminent
physicians have doubted whether dyspepsia
can be permanently cured by the drugs Which
are generally employed for that purpose. The
Sea Weed Tonic IN It's nature is totally diner'
ent from such drugs. 1t contains no corrosive
minerals or acids; In fact II assists the regular
operations Of nature, and supplies her denci-
ences The tonic In its so much resembles the
gastric juice that IL is almost Identical With
That fluid. The gastric juice is the natural sol
vent which. in a healthy condition of the bo1y,
causes the food TO be digested; and when this
Juice Is not cXcTeted IN sufficient quantities,
indigestion, with all its distressing symptoms,
follows. The Sea Weed Tonic performs the
duty OF the gastric Juice when the latter is de-
ficient. schenck's Sea Weed Tonic sold by all
