THE GAZETTE. Wednesday, October 1,1873. 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 Express Line TO WASHINGTON?. • Running a regular mail from Elberton to Wifsb ington, leave here Friday, and return Sat urday, I am prepared to carry passen gers oc express packages eith i way on accommodating terms. ns. c.
