the city authorities will have abated. Occa

Terrific KMrn,
Between four and five o’clock, yesterday
afternoon, our city was visited by a tremend
ous storm of rain und hail. Thunder, light
ening and rain, accompanied by hail, con
tinued for more than two hours. Broad
street, in front of our office, wan ull afloat,
while the poor dray and car horses had to
take tho whole brunt of the storm. Row
boats were in demand at sis o'clock, aud
wore used to some extent.
We have seen hut once before a storm of
rain and hail which exeooded it in violoncej
but this one, in duration, far surpassed that.
Following on the heels of the rain cf the
Saturday night last, cellars are filling up
with water, roofs are leaking und goods
and furniture have been seriously damaged
already.
■The hail stones were not very largo but
came down very thickly.
Near tho Freedman’s Hospital, the Canal
was out of the banks, and a sheet of water
coveted the ground Iroui the Georgia Rail
road Depot westward, submerging every
thing in its way. We heard of one family
having found it necessary to remove from
their dwelling. A portion of the track of
the Augusta and Summerville Railroad nenr
the lower market house was damaged so as
to prevent use, but will soon bo all right.
We bear of considerable damage done up
town, aud we presume for the want of proper
drainage in all parts of the city, great
damage will have been done in sundry ways,
not only to Real Estate, but to personal
property. Upon the whole, by reference to
that old gentleman, known familiarly as the
“oldest inhabitant,” no such rain has ever
before fallen in this city during the lime it
raged. In three quarters of an hour, the
Hydrometer showed a measurement of five
and one quarter inches of water that had
fallen upon the earth.
I'nblir. Meeting.
At a largo and influential meeting of the
respectable Dogs of this city, held at the
Upper Market, on the evening of the 19th
instant, on motion of Mr. T. Owner,
B. Rindle, Esq., was called to the chair,
and P. Uppy and T. Erricr were requested
to act as Secretaries.
In a few impertinent remarks, the chair
man stated the object of the meeting: to
take prompt and active measures for the
suppression of the Coll ary, which, he re
gretted to say, had broken out in the south*
cast corner of the City Hall, and which
promised to spread all over the corporation.
Judge B. Ulldog, of the First Ward,
moved the appointment of a Committee of
nineteen, to report, at a subsequent meet
ing, a Preamble and Resolutions, expressive
of the feelings of the whole canine popu
lation on the subject. The motion was
seconded and carried.
The Chairman said that he would ask a
little time, in order that lie might get the
right kind of Dogfc on this important Com
mittee, and that, for obvious reasons, the
names on said Committee would not he
published.
Dr. G’Reyhound made a few eloquent
remarks, and offered a resolution for the
appointment of a Committee of four Dogs
from each Ward to draw up a Drateet
against the establishment of the Coilary in
our city. The speaker eloquently disclaimed
the intention of being dogmatical, but
repelled tho intimation that Tin, in circular
or any other form, worn around the neck,
had aught to do with the moral or physical
sanity of any respectable Dog—and if this
badge of disgrace should be submitted to
in this military district, the conclusion wjs
irresistible—“the world was rapidly going
to hell in a hand-basket.” [ Applause. |
In the speaker's opinion (though be ever
expected tp bow-wow to the wx jxipiili) be
bad no hesitation in saying that the concat
enation of self cxisteneies proceeding in a
duplicate ratio, would soon leap from the
true hearts around him, and, in a voice
more potent than the reverberations of ten
thousand “raging Canals,” proclaim, from
Pinch-Viscerar to Dublin —No Collars for
Dogs! [Applause.]
At this stage of the meeting, a resolution
was offered that seats be tendered to the
reporters of the Daily Anliquarianist and
A r u Klux Blower —which was adopted.
An amendment was offered, including
the reporter of the I‘enplc's Favorite —which
gave rise to a number of howls and whines.
Hon. N. F. Oundland scorned the idea.
Prof. P. Ointer simply thought tho amend
went disgusting, was hard on the mover
and hoped it would be withdrawn. Which
was finally done.
Inconsequence of the adoption of this
last resolution, wo are compelled to cur tail
the proceedings ol this highly interesting
Indignation meeting.
Stick lo Your friends.
We have been taken to task by several of
our cotemporaries, for an article that ap
peared some days ago in our columns. We
have no reason to change our opinions on
the subject, or to counsel any other course*
The good Book says : “he (hat is not lor us,
is against usand we are one of those
incorrigiblcs who never did believe in death
bed repentance. We never could sec any
good to arise to a sueccsstol party in politics,
or in the common affairs of life to an indi
vidual, who would compromise principle by
receiving “eleventh hour” converts. We
are charitably disposed—we are more than
this —we arc generously disposed to forgive
our human brother's errors, but we arc not.
willing, nor will wo ever consent to the
doctrine, that rewards of office shall he
given to every man who irmy find him
self on the weak and losing side, and
repent und make profession for wc know
from experience, that like mercenary
troops, they are not with us, they are not
to ho trusted on guard, when the dearest
interests of the country are at, stake ; and a
higher bidder, with money in hand, is ready
to purchase their fealty for desertion from
our cause. Wo then say to our readers, to
“stick to your friendsI’—and 1 ’ —and bo sure they
are true friends—while you let those quasi
friends take care of themselves. Those are
our sentiments, and we proclaim them bold
ly, hut wo reserve tbo right of judgment in
the matter, and cheerfully accord the sumo
right to our friends.
H.w the I’m la Altera*.
The Ku Klux organ up the itreet is v»ry
■ora about the displacement of a lew extra
men from the Police, who had been on
“dead beats” for some time, aud tho corres
pondent who nubliebes a string of names in
yesterday’s paper, seems likewise to be exer
cised dreadfully upon the subject of brave
men, patriotic men, etc., otc. It is a great
pity that the well-known practice of the
manufacturers and landed interests of Eng
land—of the whole manufacturing interest
of tho North and East—not to say a word of
that in our own midst—yea, even in the city
limits of Augusta—could have been over
looked by the gentry who lire making such
blunderers of themselves in attributing no
other motive to the City Council than that
of following the load of nil tho interests we
have named. It is strungo that the old story
that all of us learned when we were children
(toldol tho lawyer and farmer), that this “ox
goring” was no “altered case”—has been
forgotten so soon. Tho action of tho Coun
cil in reducing the number of men on the
Polieo forces, and thereby saving that much
expense to the City Treasury, seems to have
“gored the Ku Klux ox,” aud the organ has,
all at once, become oblivious to their own
teachings of a few weeks since. It was then
that “our poor colored friends” should be
turned out of employment, and left to starve,
because, forsooth, of what? Not that they
were an expense to the city, or any one else,
that could be avoided by discharging them,
hut because they bud voted with their only
true an l tried friends, and for those friends
who wore candidates for office. This was
the extent of their offense—no more. In
this thing ol throwing stones, pSople should
be very cautions that their dwellings are
made of stronger resisting material than
glass.

Insured.
We learn from tho Savannah News that
Dr. J. T. Paterson, of whose sudden death
we made mention yesterday, had an in

Life Insurance Company of New York.

Hody ol iVlujor sit urge* Found.
From a Richmond paper wo learn that
tho grave of Major J. R. Sturges, of the 3d
Georgia regiment, who was killed in the
battle of Seven Pines, was found in a corn
field, which was being plowed. The body
was taken up and reburied at the junction
of the Charles City and Williamsburg roads,
about two and a half miles from Richmond,
Va. Our cotemporaries are requested to
give this a notice, in order that it may reach
the eye of the friends of the gallaut soldier.
Suicide a Monomania.
Wc scarcely take up a iWwspaper nowa
days, that we do not find from one to ten
cases of suicides. This is not confined to
this country, nor Great Britain or France
sections of country notorious for this species
of lunacy—but the whole continent of Europe
and of America, and the isles of the sea arc
embraced in this sad category. We never
were yet of those who believed that “any
ill that flesh is heir to” was of sufficient
weight upon the mind ot any sane person,
to cause him or her to produce a violent
deatli with his own hands upon himself.
Insanity, or a morbid condition of the mind,
that produces luuaey, are most generally tho
prime causes of suicide. We are not aware
that the excuses made lor parties who com
mit this unrepented of, and unpardoned sin
against light and knowledge, are in any
way valid, unless because of the reason wo
have already given of complete insanity.
The troubles and cares and mishaps of life,
cither in fortune or health, can form no sort
of excuse to the suicide.
I‘rincc Alfred.
Tho Australasian papers are all discussing
only one subject—the attempted assassina
tion of Prince Alfred. There was, naturally,
a .strong and universal expression of indigna
tion throughout the colonies, and all classes
of the population vied with each other in
manifesting their sympathy with tho wound
ed Prince and their loyalty to the English
crown. The excitement among the aborigi
nal blacks, who were assembled near the
spot in unusually large numbers, was so
great that they proposed to roast tho would
be assassin. The latter was promptly brought
to trial, found guilty, and sentenced to be
hanged. According to the assassin’s own
statement, he had been instigated to commit
the crime by the Fenians in Great Britaiu.
But his statement was generally doubted.
His own sister testified that the prisoner had
been for some time insane, that he required
restraint, that he was the subject of hallucina
tions, that he thought himself to be the
victim of evil designs.

[From tho Circular o< Win. Bryce A Cos.
New York Cotton Iteview,
Nsw York, May IS, 1868.
In our lait Circular we offered some figures in
relation t« .upply, etc., to October Ist, 1868. We
now beg leave to offer tho following table made
up to January 1, 1889, and by it wo arrive at
tho same conclusion as wo did laH week, vli,:
that consumption has to b. cut down inueh
below its present rato, indoed below the rato of
the corresponding period in IS«7 and 186 ft.
Last year the range of tho price was trom 10jd.
to 71d., rate of consumption and export fly,ooo
bales wookly, for the period embraced in tho
table below. In 1866, the weekly outgoings for
eonsumption and export wero 68,600 halos for
tho same period; raugo of price, 12} to 151<1.
Stock at tho close of 1886, 427,000 bales ; at the
close of 18ft7, 473,000 hales:
In 1807, tho total import of Aincricaa
from May 8 to l>ee. 27 602,000
Let us deduct tho deficiency visible
afloat and in our ports 160,000
Estimated American supply 333,000
In 1867, tho total import of Indiifti
from May 8 to Dee. 27 1,077,000
Les us deduct tho deficiency visible on
the wator 223,000
Estimated Indian supply 851,000
Estimated import of ottier countries,
same as last year 366,000
Slock, May S 642,000
Estimated stock Dec. 27 270,000
Weekly outgoings for consumption and
export, 55,000 weekly by 33 1,815,000
A careful cunsiderati >u of the above tablo
indicates that consumption and export must he
reduced some 22 per cent, fr >ru the rato of the
corresponding period last year, granting that
tho stock is as largo January 1, 1869, as it was
January 1, IB6S, and that spinners use up all
tho cotton they now have in Manchester. That
tho outgoings should be reduced 22 per cent, by
a rango of prices no higher than those at present
ruling seems almost impossible, especially when
we regard the. fact that in 1366 the outgoings
were about as largo as in 1867, although prices
averaged more than fifty per cent, higher, and
indoed were far above those now current. Again,
Europe is at peace, and the growing crops of tho
world promise to he magnificent, and cheap broad
means an active demand for cotton goods. From
all those circumstances and figures, wo aro led to
bo'ieve that prices must advance to some point
beyond any jet reached before an equilibrium ho
established between demand and supply. We
aro awaro that cotton statistics in relation to
future supply and demand aro tho most unrelia
ble of guesses, but leaving all special figures
aside, it seems almost certain that wo have four
months ahead of us of t very high prices for cot
ton, unless some now unforeseen accident occurs
of a political nature. The receipts ar -very
light, as will be noticed by our tables and by
telegraph this week ; they bid fair to show a
still more marked falling oil'.
In relation to the growing crop, accounts are
anything but favorable. Throughout tho Atlan
tic States the rains havo done great damage to
the young plant, and the crop is fill of two weeks
behind last season. From tho best information
we have been able to obtain, tho acreage in cot
ton in tho Atlantic States is slightly loss than
lust year ; granting the number of acres planted
to bo the same, the yield per aero will be consider
ably less, for last year the lands wero covered
with manures of ouo kind and another, while
this year tho planters have not had the m .noy
or credit with which to buy guano, etc. In the
Mississippi valley we Icaru that planting has
been attempted on a more limited scale than
last year, hut how much or how little they will
mako depends vory much on thu overflow of tho
river. Early this week it was reported hank
full, and tho heavy rains which have occurred
since, in tho North and West, buvo caused great
apprehension as to thu fate of the cotton crop on
the bottom lands of tho Mississippi aud its tribu
taries.
