AUGUSTA.
We had the pleasure of spending a few
days last week in this delightful little
city- —where we never fail to enjoy our
self. On this occasion there were seve
ral conventions which were calculated to
make our stay more agreeable. The
millers convened for the purpose of en
deavoring to equalize railroad tariffs on
grain and breadstuff's.
The Germans had a grand schuetzen
fest—shooting-feast, in English, we pre
sume—in which they were joined by ma
ny Germans in Georgia and Carolina.
The Germans enjoy life better than any
other nation of people we know of. The
way lager suffers on these occasions is
startling to all but brewers.
The next in order, and very properly,
too, was a convention of the Good Tem
plars. The exact object of this conven
tion we could not ascertain—which may
have been owing to the grinding of the
millers on one side and the frequent de
mands for “ swei lager ” on the other—
but we believe the negro question was
discussed extensively, and the extent of
the obligation or pledge of the order.
We believe this body issued a call for a
convention of representatives from all
the southern States, in order that the
question of negro membership may be
fully understood and disposed of.
Business in Augusta is somewhat at a
stand-still on account of the financial
panic, but the merchants don’t seem tj
be very much disheartened, and are as
anxious to sell goods as ever.
Mr. Henry Franklin, our late fellow
townsman, has opened a large wholesale
grocery at No. 2 Warren Block, where,
if we may believe in the large and fre
quent orders he is receiving, he will do
an extensive business. His card will be
found in another column.
We were amply repaid for a call at the
large dry goods house of Kean & Cassels,
by looking over their many beautiful
goods, of which they have an abundant
supply. These gentlemen well deserve
the large trade they have built up. They
are old “Confeds.,” and ought to be sus
tained.
Tlie big Hat, Shoe, and Trunk house
of Gallaher & Mulherin is a sight to be
hold. They hays the largest stock we
have seen lately—fine shoes anu CCS!’ Ka ;
large shoes and small, low-priced and
high, with an abundant supjfiy of hats
and trunks. These gentlemen will ap
preciate a call from Elbert visitors, and
will do right by them.
The next place we visited was the
“People’s Clothing Store,”presided over
by the genial “Gus.” Ramsey, as agent.
Mr. Ramsey is a native of “ Old Elbert,”
of which he is justly proud, and he has
found his mode of advertising has paid
him, as where he has paid one dollar for
printer’s ink he has realised many more
in profits. The people of the county
feel it incumbent upon them to call on
“ Gus.” whenever they visit Augusta,
and he is so genial and pleasant they
■ rarely leave without purchasing.
Platts’ furniture house is a place where
those who desire can furnish a house
with anything from a cradle to a parlor
or bed-room set. They manufacture a
large portion of their wares, and every
t’ ling you buy of them is reliable.
Asa general thing, those houses that
invite the trade of the people of Elbert
are trustworthy and conduct business in
an honorable way. We don’t believe in
indiscriminate puffing, and will never
recommend a house simply because it ad
vertises with us, but only after being
fully satisfied of its integrity.
We most cheerfully accord space to
Dr. S. H. Walker for the purpose of de
fending his fail' name from any injury it
might sustain from being mentioned in
connection with those who were arrest
ed as illicit distillers. We like to see a
man come .forward so promptly and de
fend himself. It is a good spirit. And,
notwithstanding we live in an age in
which there seems to be much depravity,
there is hope for the country when even
one resents as an insult the coupling of
his name with violators of the law—no
matter how objectionable that law may
appear, or by whom made. Whenever
we do injustice to any indvidual, we
! Stand ready and willing to do all in our
power to remedy that.injustice. .No man
shall ever have it to say he was ever
willfully wronged by us.
fta to those who gave us the names we
published, they are gentlemen, and are
as averse to doing injustice to a fellow
man are. This we have no hesitation in
vouching for.
The statement as to the “black-tongue
.fever,” upon which an unnecessary stress
is laid, was never believed by us, and
was, we presume, believed by few of .our
readers.
FALSE IMPUTATION.
Me. Editor : It becomes my duty as J
my reputation has been grossly assailed,
perhaps by some malicious person or
persons, to appear before the public for
the first time in my own defence. I re
fer to the small article under the appel
lation of “Still Operations” published in
your journal of 10th inst., in which a
most false calumny was intended to be
cast upon my character.
I was only subpcened as a witness, and
the rumor that any of the witnesses, or
I, was arrested, or carried in chains to
Atlanta, is a falsehood as dark and ma
lignant, and deadly, and blighting as
the poison vapor of the Bohun Yupaz
tree. May it not be forgotten, or said
that I failed here to denounce with the
withering, blighting, and blastingpporerw r
er of majestic truth, that the prisoners
even, w r ere carried from our county in
chains. In the article refered to, lam
widely advertised as having been arrest
ed with others, as a distiller, thus giving
me credit for some degree of skill in
“operations” in which I am no professor.
I will here add that for seventeen years
of my life I have been an humble but
regular practitioner of medicine, and
for the last four years having been en
gaged near Grove, Ga., in the actual and
habitual daily practice of my profes
sion, and it is also well known to relia
ble citizens all around me that I have al
ways been found in the discharge of my
professional duties, and amenable to the
laws of our common country.
This much I have been compelled
though very reluctantly, to state public
ly, in defence of my own reputation,
from the simple fact that silence on my
part in the face of such grave charges
might by persons abroad be considered
as a tacit acknowledgment of the of
fence.
The above statements are hereby sub
mitted to the bar of public investiga
tion, in defence not only of some of my
fellow-citizens, but of my own reputation
which I have ever esteemed as the
brightest jewel in the coronet of man.
Very respectfully,
S. H. Walker, M. D.
Gone Up at last.
The announcement of the failure of the
houses of Jay Cooke & Cos. in New York
and Philadelphia, dragging along with
them, or seriously embarrassing their de
pendencies in Washington and London,
creates but little surprise in this quar
ter, and less sympathy. This was one of
those gigantic houses whose fortunes
grew out of the misfortunes of the nation.
Granting all that may be asserted of Jay
Cooke’s services m placing tile 7-30 loan
at the time when the Government v. a
an urgent borrower, it must be said, at
ter all, that he received his reward in im
mediate and ample munificence. If you
call Jay Cooke patriotic, we retort that
the patriotism which paid a commission
of from one to five per cent, was of a
kind which any manner of man would be
glad to devote in any sort of a country
if he could only get the chances and the
special privileges that were accorded to
Jay Cooke. But the colossal fortune
which this ring of thrifty PLi adelphians
wrung from the agony of the nation has
been squandered, as was fitting, in a fu
tile effort to foist upon the capitalists of
the world one of the sublinaest financial
frauds that has been seen since the
South Sea Bubble of Walpole’s time.
There was a time when Cooke might
have made his millions an instrument of
real good, of substantial public benefit.
But the way to do it was not by burying
them in the Arctic snowdrifts or scatter
ing them to the boreal winds that sweep
across the sterile table lands of Northern
Dakota. It is now about three years
since it was announced with a flourish
of trumpets and a clashing of ink horns
that Jay Cooke, the daring and success
ful financier who rescued the nation from
the jaw T s of bankruptcy, would build a
railroad from the head of Lake Superior
to puget Soimd! From the city of Du
luth to the metropolis of Seattle! Grand
inception! Magnificent undertaking!
But there were those who looked on the
map, and, when they had vaguely traced
with doubting finger the probable route
of this railroad that began nowhere, ran
through an unknown and trackless land
and ended where it began, shock their
heads. The loyal heart was beating high
then. Colfax had been lecturing the
people on the holy duty of aiding the Un
ion Pacific Railroad, and nobody dream
ed that a Credit Mobilier was using the
glamour of Schuyler’s smooth phrases as
a cover under which to appropriate the
money they might invest. What was to
hinder Jay Cooke from getting up a
Credit Mobilier of his own ? His name
was already dear to the patriotic heart
of the plethoric Northeast ; Schuyler
would lecture for a reasonable per noctem
and the agents of Jay Cooke & Cos. could
go to Europe, backed by the prestige of
a house that had been the accredited fi
nancial agent of the Government. A
limitless land grant could be got. Con
gress would vote a munificent subsidy.
Everything could be organized on a scale
of grandeur commensurate with the su
blimity of the confidence game that was
to be played. A few hundred miles of
road would be built—possibly the entire
line—at a cost of about half, and the pro
ceeds of all the bonds that could be ne
gotiated in this country and Europe,
would be clear profit.—Here was a giant
fortune, and Jay Cooke & Cos. grasped at
it, slipped and fell.
For a time things had gone on quite
swimmingly. The reports of the pro
gress of the road from day pointed con
clusively to the final discovery, some
where, in the midst of the “Bad Lands”
of the Unkkappa Sinoux, of the long
sought Utopia. The bonds were selling
well. But in an evil hour a reporter l
stole the records of a Pennsylvania court.
Then came the Credit Mobilier expose.
And then inquisitive people began to in
quire if it would not be well to look iiifco
this other Pacific Railroad a little. The
pretense of investigation, trifling as it
was, which followed, gave the keen nos
trils of a newspaper the scent of the cor
ruption that had been whitewashed but
not disinfected. The result was that a
newspaper correspondent went there to
see, and when he had told the truth of
what he saw, there was no more ready
sale for Jay Cooke & Co.’s Northern Pa
cific bonds. This is all there is about the
failure of Jay Cooke & Cos., of New York
and Philadelphia, and the Washington
house of Henry D Cooke.—“ St. Louie
Republican.”
THE FAVORITE HOME REMED.,
TP -A. X IST KILLE B,
Has been before the public over thirty years, and
probably has a wider and better reputation than
any other proprietary medicine of the pj; .sent
day. At tii is period there arebut few unacquaint
ed with tlie merits of the Pais Killer; but while
some extol it as a liniment, they know but little
of its power in easing; pain when taken iu tern al
ly; while others use it internally with great suc
cess, but are equally ignorant of its healing vir
tues when applied externally. We therefor wish
to say to all, that it is equally successful, wheth
er used internally or externally. It is sufficient
evidence of its viitues as a standard medicine to
know that it is now used in all parts of the world,
and that its sale is constantly increasing. “No
curative agent has had such a wide-spread sale
or given such universal satisfaction.
Davis’ Pain Killer is a purely vegetable com
pound, prepared from the best and purest.mate
rials, and with a care that insures the molt per
fect uniformity in the medicine; and whill.lt is a
most effective remedy for pain, it is a perfectly
safe medicine, even in the most unskilful hands.
It is eminently a Family Medicine ; and by be
ing kept ready for immediate resort, will save
many an hour of suffering and many a dillarin
time and doctors’ bills
After over thirty years’ trial, it is still -receiv
ing the most unqualified testimonials to Its vir
tues, from persons of the highest character and
respon: ibility. Eminent Physicians comiaend it
as a most effectual preparation for the extinction
of pain. It is not only the best remedy ever
known for Bruises, Cuts, Burns, &c., but for Dys
entery or Cholera, or any sort of bowel complaint
it is a remedy unsurpassed for efficiency and ra
pidity of action. In the great cities of India, and
other hot climates, it has become tbe standard
medicine tor ail such complaints, as wc'| as for
Dyspepsia, Liver Complaints, and all otb#*r kin
dre , disorders. For Coughs and Colds, >' .nker,
Asihina, and Rheumatic difficulties, it lias been
proved by tie most abundant and convincing
testimony to be an invaluable medicine. >
We would caution the public against all imi
tations of our preparation, either in qame or
style of putting up. sep3-lm
