We had the pleasure yesterday of meeting Col. Owen P. Fitzsimons, the recently appointed United States Mar shal for Georgia. After congratulating Col. Fitzsimous, the reporter conversed with him in regard to his appointment, his residence and other matters pertain ing to the Marshalship, Reporter: Who were most prominent hi Washington iu your behalf, Colonel? Col. Fitzsimona; Mr. Stephens was mainly instrumental in securing the ap pointment. He is a power in Washing ton, aud is thought a great deal of by everybody. Gen. Gordon worked hard in the Senate for my confirmation. Reporter: Your appointment seems to give general satisfaction; does it not ? Col. Fitzsimons; I have heard noth ing to the contrary. Both white and colored citizens, much to my gratifica tion, have congratulated mo since my return from Washington. Reporter : I)o you think yon will have uuy trouble in enforcing the law ? Col. Fitzsimons : None whatever, I am satisfied that I will never have any occasion to use troops. I intend to exe cute the laws impartially, without regard to party, race, color or previous condi tion of servitude. I feel assured that there will bo fewer violations of United State 3 laws and a moro ready obedience to the officers who sre charged with their execution. The President has de monstrated that he is the Chief Magis trate of all the people of the Union, and I think that the Southern people ought to show that he receives their hearty approvul. lam satisfied that all the people of the State will sustain mo in enforcing the laws. It is but natural that they should assist a man raised among them and whom they know, more than they would a stranger. Reporter : Where will you reside, Col. Fitzsimons ? Col. Fitzsimons : I shall livo in At lanta; one of the United States Courts meets there. Col. Fitzsimons received congratula tions on every baud yesterday. The President could not have appoint ed a mau more acceptable to the people of the State and one who at the samo time will enforce the laws in every oase. Denlli of Major Win. i'mig. lutelligeuoo reached this city yester day of the death of Major Wm. Craig, formerly of Augnsta, at the Columbia Hotel, Columbia, S. C., on Tuesday, the 4th inst. Ho was buried Wednes day. Major Craig was well knowo in Au giiHta, where he spent many years of his life. He was an estimable gentle man, a true hearted friend aud an excel lent oitizen. Before the war he was a member of tbe firm of Moore A Craig, of this city. At the beginning of the war he went to the front as Lieutenant in the Montgomery Gnards and after wards rose to the positions of Captain of that company and Major of the Tenth Georgia Regiment. Just before tbe close of the great struggle he was appointed a Colonel by the Confederate Government, but the war ended before be received his commission. Iu all of these positions he proved himself to be a gallant soldier. He was seriously wounded in battle. After the war lie returned to the pursuits of civil life and was in turn President of the Bath Paper Mills, Treasurer of the Charlotte, Co lumbia and Augusta Railroad, Treas urer of the Augnsta and Summerville Railroad and Agent of the Wilmingtoo, Columbia and Augnsta Railroad, at Columbia, S. C. At the time of his death he was iu business at. Florence, S C. Major Craig was an Irishman by birth and was about fifty-niue years of age. A Fanny .111. lake. Lxst Wednesday afternoon, about six o’clock, New Territory Policeman B. M. Evens discovered that his horse, which lie had hitched to the rack in front of the City Hall, about au hour previous, was missing. Obtaiuing another horse, lie followed up a due he had found, and iu a short time overtook an old negro named .lack Lawton riding the missing horse along the Sand Bar Ferry road, in the direction of the ferry. He ordered Lawton to stop, but the old fellow either did not or would not hear the order and kept on his way. Mr. Evans, however, fiaallv managed to bring him to a halt. Lawton declared that the horse was his, bnt. as Mr. Evans was equally well satis fied that it belonged to him, he declin ed to give it up. He took the negro, who was drunk, iu tow, and carried him to the City Hall, where he was locked up for the night. Yesterday morning, when Lawton had sobered np, he ex plained that he, too, ewned a horse, and bad, while drunk, mistaken Mr. Evans' animal for his own. As Lawton’s equine had been found aud placed in a stable, hia explanation was accepted as oorreot and he was released. Sudden Death. Some ten days since Mr. Charles R. Bates, a genial gentleman and well known capitalist of Kalamazoo, Mich., called at this office in company with Mr. Krevtser, of the Detroit Free Press. Mr. Bates was down South for a Winter tour, and had stopped in Aiken, at the Highland Park Hotel, for the season. Last evening his wife and little daugh ter, who accompanied him here, passed through the city goiDg up the Georgia |V>ad with Mr. Bates’ body. While walking ont in Aiken Thursday, it seems he was suddenly attacked with a heavi ness in his chest, and, without any pre vious symptoms, was dead in twenty minutes thereafter. Four successive paroxysms of what is supposed to have been congestion of the lungs, seized him, ere he ceased to breathe. He was apparently a hearty man. It ie oertainly a blessing to have a safe, reliable and cheap remedy for coughs and colds near at hand at this season of the year. Dr. Ball's Cough Syrup has eminently proved itself to be snch a remedy. THE ELECTION. MAJOB CUMMING'S MAJORITY IN THE COUNTY OVER FIVE HUN DRED.

He received ma jorities at every precinct in the oonnty except the 124th. The Constitution re ceived 1.G07 majority; the Homestead of 1877, 931, and Milledgeville 896. It was hoped that tbe ballots in the white and colored boxes would be count ed separately, in order that the relative vote in each might be accurately de termined. It was decided, however, to consolidate them and count them to gether, so that this was therefore impos sible. it was evident, however, that Mr. Foster received a very largo major ity in the colored box, while Major Gum ming obtained a large majority in tbe white box. The reason why Mr. Wright’s vote ran behind that of Mr. Sibley was owing to the fact that his name was very generally scratebed from the tickets deposited in the oolored box. JeflerNon County. The official returns of Jefferson coun ty show that Maj. Cu Timing’s vote was 539 and Mr. Foster’s 537, giving Major Camming a majority of 2 in that county. Glascock County.

WOMEN. One at the Proponed Novelties of the French Exhibition. Paris, November 3.—The Spaniards are understood to have memorialized M. Krantz, Commissary General of next year’s exhibition, to add an exhibition of beautiful women to the other exhibits of the gathering. The Spanish Minis ter of Public Works is said to be warm ly in favor of the idea; and intending exhibitors are requested by the Spanish newspapers to send in photographs as candidates for admission without delay. An appeal is to be addressed to all the pretty women of the world to como for ward aud show themselves to an admir ing universe. There are to be sixty-one grand prizes, thirty-one second prizes in silver, one hundred acoessits, and two hundred “honorable mentions,’’ The jury is to be composed of two delegates for each nation, one male and one fe male. The admissions are to be decid ed on the examination of two photo graphs of each candidate; one full face and the other in profile. Photo graphs of the gainers of the sixty oDe “grand prizes of beauty” are to be exhibited in a “saloon of honor” during twelve days, after which, in company with the " second prizes,” the “ second bests” and the “ honorable mentions,” they will be enshrined in a beautiful album ; ad hoc, a copy of this album, superbly bound and got up, will then be presented by the exhibi tion authorities to each of the sover eigns whose lady lieges have contribu ted their beautiful selves to this show. The same collection of photographs, but less splendidly gotton up, will be subsequently offered for sale to the public iu general. To crown the whole, there is to be added to the prizes, eto., just mentioned, a supreme “ prize of honor,” to be adjudged to the most beautiful of the competing beauties ; the fair creature who has obtained this “ supreme” award to be proclaimed the “ Queenjof B/anty,” and is to be in vited to make a triumphal appearance in Paris itself, seated in a splendid chariot, simulating a throne, drawn by six maguificent Andalusian horses of the finest breed, and followed by the other beauties, recipients of tbe other prizes. The Vies of the Lemon. Asa writer in the London Lancet re marks, few people know the value of lemon juioe. A piece of lemon bound upon a corn will cure it in a few days; it should be renewed night and morning. A free use of lemon juice and sugar will always relieve a cough. Most people feel poorly in the Spring, bnt if they would eat a lemon before breakfast every day for a week—with or without sugar, as they like—they would find it better than any medicine. Li mon juice used aecording to this receipt) will some times cure consumption : Put a dozen lemons into cold water and slowly bring to a boil; boil slowly until the lemons are soft, then squeeze until all the juice is extracted, add sugar to your taste and drink. Iu this way use one dozen lemons a day. If they oanse pain or I oosen the bowels too much, lessen the quantity and use only five or six a day until you are better, and then begin agaiu with a dozen a day. After using five or six dozen the patient will begin to gain flesh aud enjoy food. Hold to the lemons and still use them freely for several weeks more. Another use of lemons is for a refreshing drink in Sum mer or in sickness at any time. Prepare as directed above and add water and Bugar. Bat in order to have this keep well, after boiling the lemons squeeze and strain them carefully; then to every half pint of juioe add one pound of loaf or crashed sugar, boil and stir a few minutes more .until the sngar is dissolv ed, skim carefully and bottle. You will get more juioe from the lemons by boiling them and the preparation keeps better. THE MORALITIES OF GAMBLERS. Experiences of a Brooklyn Editor In John Morrissey’s House. | Brooklyn Eagle.] The fact is that the proprietary gambler, like Morrissey, is, in the true sense of the term, no gambler at all. He simply pro vides the means for otlier men to gamble, •without taking any risk himself and he re ceives his profits with precisely th same certainty that the broker has or the mer chant who sells on commission. He pro vides a table and impliments. If it is faro, his business is to take and pay bets made between the players, reserving to himself the profit of “splits” which recur with a cer tainly that is marked with a fixed “percent age.” His risk is almost nothing, his cer tainty of gain fixed. There are few live men who have not at some time bet money. The practice of gaming in a small way'is almost as common in the community as that of eating. All classes, except a few conscientiously strict, play the national game of “poker.” N'e disgrace or reproach j is implied in it. We do not argue that pro- 1 viding a gambling house, as Morrissey does, is not reprehensible. It is highly so. The law forbids it, and ihe Honorable John is called frightful names because he breaks the law, and does it openly. Yet people who thus characterize him should remember that after all it is not Morrissey who breaks the law. but the men who patronize his house and in obedience to the demands of whom his house is open. The writer has seen at one time in Morrissey’s gambling house three clergymen, interested spectators of the game of faro. One was a professor in a well-known college. Another the principal of a large seminary. The third was and is the pastor of a thriving church. They were not there simply for the purpose of learning the facts of what they would denounce They remained too long and exhibited too keen an interest in the game and the excite ment. Their names shall be kept a sacred secret. But by their presence there, through motives of curiosity, they were partakers with the proprietor in the breaking of the law. We saw yesterday a strange freak of natnre in the shape of a white wood cock, with a brown ring abont its neck and a tnft of partridge colored feathers on the top of its head. It was killed near the oity last Thursday by a oolored banter named Gowdy, Good material is always requisite to great results. Yon may have the beet flour, eggs, milk, shortening however, and atUl have poor bread, cake, pastry, etc. Why? Yon didn’t use Dooley’s Yeast Powder. With this last magic element to give order, harmony and nuion to the rest, the resnlt is a mathe matical oertainty. Local and Business Notices.

Augusta, Ga., Friday Afternoon, 1 December 7, 1877. 1 Ooutkl Remarks. Business has been flat this week. In our last review we were lead to believe that the outlook for the near future was more promis ing, bnt onr experience in commercial observa tions this week does not lead to an immediate corroboration of that expectation. It was thought that the fall force of the busy season, so long retarded by backwardness* of the crop, would soon break upon ns. It was hoped that the approach of the holidays of the year would stimulate trade in every dupartment. It was supposed that the change of freight dis criminations against Anguata would work won ders in business marts. That the last named advantage will ultimately contribute to in crease onr prosperity, there is no reason for donbting ; it will, however, require time to be fully availed. It most also be recollected that the busi ness season was far advanced before this change was made. Hereafter, we trust we shall have nothing to oomplain of in this con nection. Reference to onr daily cotton re ports show not much improvement in re ceipts. The crop, worse tfc.an backward, is small. Continuing bad weather during the early part of the week interfered greatly with trade of all kinds and this, together with the political excitement, net only here, but all over the State, has prevented business from showing a beaming front lately. Daring the past two days, however, trade has been more active. Prices in every branch continue abont the same, staple articles un dergoing little or no change. In the money markets price of exchange has raised somewhat, rates being f to } and I to par. The fact that cotton hoaeas from abroad are represented by buyers in nearly all of the interior towna of the State, who meet the cotton producer at his very gate, interferes greatly with the oity exchange business, where checks were formerly drawn, and prevents anything like an uniform market here. In money markets there is bnt little change, with, perhaps, a mere steady baais for deposits. Money readily brings 13 per cent, all round. Business over hank counters is now largely marked by renewals of paper, bnt little real commercial paper being handled. In the bond and stock market there is a fair demand for good securities—Georgia Railroad and Central Railroad stock ruling doll with lower prices. The cotton market has been comparatively light daring the week, the prevailing tone being firm. Total receipts sinoe September Ist amount to 86,276; last year, 120,856, show ing a difference of 34,086 bales. Last week the difference was 30,288. The provision market is quiet, with bnt few ehanges in sta ple prices. Business in other departments moderately good. SUM and City Beads.
