Gold table.
Our readers will find a useful table on our
first page, which seems to need some expla
nation. It is very easily understood—thus :
When gold sells at 1.40, greenbacks are
worth, in coin, 71) cents to the dollar, and
so with any other amount in the table, as
shown in the opposite column.
Found.
The body of Henry Jackson, the colored
man who fell injo the canal on Sunday and
was drowned, was found Monday night, about
11) o’clock, near the bridge on Broad street.
His neck was broken. His watch and pin
were upon his person. Coroner Rhodes held
an inquest yesterday, and the following is
the verdict of the jury : “That the deceased
came to his death from injuries received on
his person by an accidental fall from the
canal bridge, on McKinnie street, between
the railroad stable and Greene street, on
Sunday night, June 7th, 1808. He jumped
from the street cars while in motion, and we
attach no blame to the officers of the Augusta
and Summerville Railroad Company.”
We learn that the body of the deceased
was taken in charge by the “Y. and B.
Club'’ of young colored men of the city, and
every attention paid that was required. The
deceased bore a good character, had a good
situation, and was just on the threshold of
life, being about twenty years of age.
Recorder’* Court.
A well known citizen was arraigned before
his Honor, yesterday, charged with a viola
tion of the 30th section of the General
Ordinances permitting a nuisance to
remain on a lot iu the rear of Broad street,
iiiird ward. The fact of the nuisance *was
not denied by the defendant; but he made
the point that the law had settled that the
ucupant of the premises, and not the land
lord, was responsible. The Court overruled
the point, fined the defendant twenty dollars,
and admonished him that a similar penalty
]p>uld be imposed for every day the nuisance
continued. The defendant gave notice that
he would appeal to the Supreme Court, and
the Recorder answered “Very well.”
Another citizen, up town, plead guilty to
»violation of the 2d saction—hitching his
horse to a tree boxing, (or which he paid one
dollar and costs.
We are informed that there were several
applicants at the Clerk's office, yesterday,
for copies of the General Ordinance. *
Superior Court.
One civil caso was tried on yesterday—
Aitemas Gould vs. Jonathan Miller. IJc
nilant, in 1802, borrowed a certain sum
of money from plaintiff, eto. His Honor,
•ii'lge Gibson, charged the jury that
s, iuity demanded that defendant should
pay to plaintiff, now, in the ratio that
.federate currency was worth at the
hffle of the loan, and a verdict was ren
vwed accordingly.
Die Criminal Docket was then opened.
1 o Hcott, freedman, was convicted of
Mtting fire to an out-house, and sentenced
0 p « h >tentiary for one yea*
William Pearl, white, was convicted for
treeny (herse), and sentenced to Peniten-
U&r J for two years.

Three Cent! n Mile*
The Western end Atlantic Railroad has
taken the initatire in reducing the rate* of
travel transportation to three cents per mile.
This is a good move, and the exumplo will
lie followed, no doubt, by other roads.
Tickets at S3O for one thousand miles are
issued, and so arranged that holders can
travel from oue mile*upwards, at their option.
Whatever the dialanco travelled is-deducted
from the face of the ticket, and the Company
roinains bound for the rciidueof tho thou
sand miles. This is an excellent arrange*
meet, convenient nnd valuable to those
whose homes are along tho line and whoso
business calls them often to Atlanta.
Compound Interest Notes.
Secretary McCulloch has given notice that
ull compound interest notes intended for
conversion into three per emit, temporary
loan certificates must either bo presented to
the Assistant Treasurer, at New York, who
has the full charge and control ol the issue
of such certificates, or to the Treasurer of
the United Slates at Washington, who will
issue certificates, which, on presentation
at tlie office of the Assistant Treasurer at
New York, will entitle the holder to receive
such certificates in exchange. Compound
interest notes intended for redemption in
lawful money must bo forwarded t> the
Treasurer of tho Uuited States in Washing
ton for that purpose.
“The Knight!, of the Iron Chair.”
As will be seen by tlie following abstract,
the above organization, as far back ns Oc
tober 31st, 1839, foreshadowed wliat has
already been accomplished by the Republi
can party of Georgia, in Convention assent
bled—that is, the abolishing the laws ol
“Imprisonment for debt,” and “Usury laws,’
as the relies of barbarism ; and bus but one
other object to be accomplished, i. the
abolitiou of capital punishment for crime—
when, as will be seen by the resolution of
the "Knights,” held on the Ist Juno instant,
the Chair will be disintegrated by its own
agreement. We feel assured that this other
relic of the ancient laws of the old dispensa
tion will also bo removed from the statute
books, when a proper consideration of the
enormous amount of evil that has attended
it in this country is had by our people- Hard
labor for life, solitary confinement, etc., can
very well be substituted :
THE KNIGHTS OF THE IKON CIIAIU.
This Order was organized in Augusta,
October 31, 1839. The following was ils
platform :
Whereas, We do not wish to interfere, or
iu any way come in contact with tho two
great political organizations of-the country,
still it is the opinion of this Order that the
time has arrived when efficient efforts should
be made to repeal the following laws, which
are on our statute hooks, to wit : Capital
Punishment, Usury Laws, <md Imprison
ment for Debt, as being inoperative and
unjust.
First. We are firmly convinced that the
fearful increase of homicide in our State
has resulted from a conscientious opposition
on the part of Jurors coolly und delibe
rately to enforce the death penalty, and as
au evidence of it, we have but to refer to
the fact that the most depraved und blood
stained have been turned loose upon the
community, who, if some other punishment
was known to the Penal Code, would he
placed where they could no more molest
and injure their fellows by their outburst
of passions, and where (if innocent) they
could await the developments of time for
their deliverance.
Second. That the value of money, like
any article used by a civilized people,
should be governed by the laws of supply
and demand, and therefore protest against
having our statute books longer encumbered
by an enactment against asking more than
a fixed rate of interest for the use of tbe
same, when said enactment is daily violated
as not being at present appreciable in ils
bearings.and necessities, to tlie transactions
between man nnd man, in the present
enlightened and progressive age-
Third, That while it is far from our inti, lion
to shield fraud, crime, and double dealing, yet
we unhesitatingly express the opinion that
the laws now in force, for the collection of
debts, seem rather to have been enacted to
oppress and tyrannize over the honest and
unfortunate, than otherwise. We therefore
advocate the repeal of all such as are in
restraint of personal freedom.
Office of run Ikon CiiAtit, 1
Augusta, June 1, 1868. j
The following resolution passed ununi
niously :
Resolved, That wo appeal to all good citi
zens to unite with us in petitioning our next
Legislature to do away with capital punish
ment.
This accomplished,our order can disband,
not otherwi -e. By order of the
CIUIUMAX.
AUGUSTA MARKETS.
Tuksday, Juno 9 -P. M.
FINANCIAL. —-Wo have no changes to report
iu Gold, but we learn that Guorgia Railroad
Stock has advanced to day to 83 and markot
steady. Tho prospect of a dividend of 1 por
cent, for six months, perhaps, hus had something
to do with the iucreaso of value.
COTTON- Is in statu yno and may bo said to
bo dull upon the Liverpool and Now York news
of to day. The Now Y'ork reports aro 30c, dull
and declining; and tho Liverpool, dull and
declined a fraction. Sales uot over 5,000 bales—
Uplands, IIJ.
CORN—Is held at yesterday’s quotations,
with a dull market.
WHEAT AND FLOUR.—Wo see no reuson to
alter quotations.
BACON AND LARD-—Hold their own—ex

Trade is generally vory dstll.
[From the Circular of Wm. liryco St Cos.
Hew York tot loti iscvleiv.
New Y’oiik. Juuo 5, IS6S.
Our last Circular reviewed thu market to the
29th ult., when wo quoted Middlings at 31c in
this market, and 11 id in Liverpool—both mar
kets steady. On Saturday, tlie Cable advised
Liverpool as steady, with sales ot 10,000 bales.
Our market was quiet with prices fairly sup
ported. Monday was a close holiday in Liver
pool, and tho volume of business transacted
hero was very small; tho only demand was from
spinners, and on tho sales made, tho market
was quoted Jo lower. Tuesday was likewise a
eloso holiday on tho other sido, and the rumors
of heavy shipments from Bombay caused some
pressure to sell at a concession of Je. But little
business was brought about oven at this decline.
On Wednesday, Liverpool advnoced Id, with
sales of 15,000 bale?. Our market qnlokty re
sponded, and n fair business of 3,300 halos was
accomplished on a basis of 31o; tlie advance
(luring Iho day being fully one cent on-Mid
dlings and a Iriflo more on the lower grades.
On Thursday, Liverpool was reported quiet and
steady, sales only reaching 8,000 bales. Tho ill
heaßb of Napoleon was generally believed to bo
tho cause of tho dullness in that markot. A
very small business was accomplished hero
without any chniigo in price being noticeable.
To-day the market bus been steady In Liverpool
and this city. Uplands closed on the other sido
at 11 id, with sales of 10,000 halos.
Cable advices (tec* ourlset bye •omoTWtl
buxine** was transacted. Tho saloi of tho four
tUya foot up 51,000 bale*, of which 46,000 wont
to the trade, 6,000 to exporter*, and 4,000 to
xpeouiatora. Stock in port foots up 648,000
bales, 371*000 of which aro American. Cottou
afloat for Groat Britain aggregates 507,000
bales, of whioh 04,000 arc irom this country.
No new eleuiont has been introduced into the
cotton question since our last circular, and in
general terms the position is unchanged. There
is a largo deficiency rUiblo in xuppiy, and tho
efforts of the spinners to depros* Liverpool and
New York seem to have euliuiuated liyt woek,
and their xoecess is to bo moaeured ay about
lid in one market, ana flic in the other. From
the extreme point of depression there has been a
rally of id in Liverpool. Within two months
the prospect of our crop will begin to form a
very important olemeut in tho problem of price,
and if Manchester ounnot soo any increaso over
the last crop in this country, spinners will take
courage and increase their productions accor
dingly. If on tho othor hand the prospects of
our crop favor a yiold of 2,500,000 to 3,000,000
bales, thon prices will inevitably give way long
before the cotton actually comes to markot. With
tho light at present before us, wo think that tho
growing crop will more likely fall short of
2,300,000 halos, than overrun 2,500,000 bales.

Editor National ftrpubliciin :
Tho Inactivity which characterized tho pro
vision market at tho dato of ray last circular,
continued throughout tho week, and tho market
closes dull. Iu ordor to effect sales, holders
were obliged to grant concessions, and prices
ore again lower, though holders, in many
instances, are unwilling to accept the rates now
current, and it would be difficult to fill orders of
any magnitude at my quotations. One cause of
thu light consumptive demand is, that sumo timq
since, consumers, in anticipation of an advance,
bought freely for forward delivery. Tho bulk
of these contracts, however, havo been Oiled and
holders :«ro expecting an increased demand soon,
and a rally in prices; and there is no anxiety to
Soil, except by timid and weak holders. Tho
orders which aro now being received arc chiefly
.or small amounts, and there is no inclination
at present to speculato.

Is thu cheapest and best family medicine
in the world. The moment it is used, pain
ceases. It cures rheumatism, neuralgia,
bilious cholic, and inflammation of the kid
neys,almost instantly. If seized with sudden
colds, coughs, influenza, dipthcria, hoarse
ness, sore, throat, chills, fever aud ague,
mercurial pains, scarlet fever, etc., etc.,
take from four to six of Itadway’s Pills, and
also take a teaspoon ful of the Ready Relief
in a glass of warm water, sweetened with
sugar or honey ; bathe the throat, head and
chest with Ready Relief, (if ague or inter
mittent fever, bathe the spine also), in the
morning you will be cqrcd.
How the Relief acts.—ln a few minutes
the patient will feel a slight tinging irrita
tion, and tho skin becomes reddened ; if
there is much distress in the stomach, the
Relief will assist nature in removing the
offending cause —a general warmth is felt
throughout the entire body, and its diffusive
stimulating properties rapidly courses
through every vein and tissue of the system,
arousing the slothful and partially paraly
zed glands and organs to renewed and
healthy action ; perspiration follows, and
the body feels increased heat. The sickness
at stomach, colds, chills, headache, oppress
ed breathing, thesoreness of tho throat, and
all pains, either internally or externally,
rapidly subside, and the patient falls into a
tranquil sleep, awakes refreshed, invigor
ated, cured.
It will be found that in using the Relief
externally, either on the spine or across
the kidneys, or over the slomich and howels,
that for several days after a pleasing
warmth will ho felt, showing tho length of
time it continues its influence over the
diseased parts.
Price of R. R. It. Relief, 50 cents per
bottle, vjold by druggists and country
merchants, grocers, etc.

Congressional.
Washington, June 9.— House: The
Chineso reception attracted an immense
crowd. The usual proceedings occurred.
Bcatnan reported a bill from tho Recon
struction Committee dividing Texas into
three States. Ordorod printed.
A bill inaugurating Southern State officers
was read threo times, and passed by 115
to 31.
A. bill was reported constructing a rail
road and telegraph from Mobile to New
Orleans, the - consideration of which was
postponed till to morrow.
Tho Committee on Foreign Affairs was
directed to inquire whether tho establish
ment by Mexico of free ports at Matamoras
and other towns on the Rio Grande, was
not controry to tho commercial rights of
this country.
The tax bill was resumed, and the House
adjourned.
Senate. —Mrs. Eliza Potter, of Charleston,
South Carolina, petitions reimbursement for
forty thousand dollars expended for the
support of Union prisoners by herself nnd
family during the war—referred to claims
committee.
The Louisville Board of Trade ask a
reduction of the whiskey tax to fifty cents.
The Omnibus admission was resumed.
Alabama was added to the list. Vote 22 to
21. Republicans voting nay—Cole, Conk
iing, Edmunds, Fessenden, Frelinghuyscn,
Howard, Iloive, Morgan, Morrill (Vermont)
Trumbull nnd Yates.
A motion to strike out the provision
nullifying the Georgia relief clause was
discussed all day. The argument took a
wide range. It was claimed that without
this clause Georgia’s Constitution would
have been defeated, and Congress would
defeat the will of the people by nullifying it.
Others argued that,aside from its unconsti
tutiouality, it was the first step toward the
repudiation of the National debt.
The argument indicated that the Senate
will undoubtedly persist in nullifying the
relief clause.
Without a vote tho Senate went into
executive session and adjourned.

Washington, June 9.—lndian war ru
mors increase. Sheridan has sent arms to
the frontier to arm the settlers. Colonel
Leavenworth, who hitherto defended the
Indiaus, now favors withholding amnesties
aud prosecuting severe measures-
The following is a hill passed in the House
to day :
Be it enacted, etc., That the Legislature
of each of the States of Arkansas, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Louisiana, Geor
gia, and Alabama, elected under the Consti
tution thereof, framed and adopted in pur
suance of the provisions of au Act for the
more efficient Government of the rebel
States, passed March 2d 1867, and the Acts
supplementary thereto, be, and hereby
is authorized to meet on such days as
may have been fixed either, cither in such
Constitutions, or by proclamation of
any officer authorized to convene said
Legislature by the Convention which framed
such Constitution, and if no day shall have
been fixed as aforesaid, or if tho day so
fixed for the meeting of tho Legislature of
either of said States shall have passed or
shall have so nearly arrived before the
passage of this act, that in tho opinion of
the Governor elect there might not be time
for the Legislature to assemble on the day
so fixed, such Legislature may be convened
within thirty days after the passage of this
act by the Governor of said State.
Sec. 2. That whenever either of said
States shall be admitted to representation in
Congress, the Executive and Judicial
officers of such State duly elected, and
qualified under th i Constitution thereof, may
be inaugurated without delay, and the gov
ernment ol such States shall thereupon be
transferred to the civil authorities thereof.
Sec. 3. That it shall be the duty of all
civil and military officers exercising au
thority in either of said States to afford all
practical aid and protection to the officers of
such State in carrying out the provisions ol
this act; and any such officers who shall
wilfully prevent, hinder or delay the meeting
ot either of sni I Legislatures,or the inaugura
tion of any of said State officers, or of any other
civil or military officer, uuder either of said
State authorities, shall be guilty of a felony,
ami upon conviction thereof before any
Puderul or State Court of criminal jurisdic
tion, shall he punished by imprisonment
not exceeding ten years, or by a line not
exceeding ten thousand dollars, al, the
discretion of tbe Court.
Woolley is still confined, waiting Bullet’s
convenience.
The proprietor of the Metropolitan Hotel
had Woolley’s seventeen thousand one hun
dred dollars iu the Committee’s room, where
Butler counted it.
The Woolley Affair.
Washington, June 1). —-Woolley’s state
ment, given on the ground that Hook’s
evidence relieved YVoolley from the confi
dence involved by professional relations,
shows that Woolley was here to influence
the Ways and Means Committee, regarding
the whiskey tax,iu Hook’s interest. Woolley’s
proceedings in this respect are not fully
stated, but no corrupt operations are evident.
Seventeen thousand and one hundred dollars
of tho questioned money aro and have been in
the safe of tho Metropolitan Hotel. Ii
appears from affidavits that Woolley, Hook,
and others were at tlie Metropolitan Hotel,
talking politics aud proposing bets- Woolley,
threw the money on the table, requesting
Hook to hold it, and then left the room
Hook took no notice of Woolley’s remark or
tho money. VanValkenburg, regarding
neither W oolley nor Hook in a proper condi
tion to have charge of so large a sum, took
tho money and deposited it, with his own
valuables, in the safe of (he Metropolitan
Hotel. The parties separated, and had no
communication during several days, during
which lime the discordant cvidefico of
Woolley and Hook was taken. The whole
affair-amounts to nothing.
The New Orleans Squabble.
New Orleans, June 9. —The Republican,
to-morrow, will contain a proclamation by
the Convention Registration Board, assert
ing its authority as paramount to that of
the Commanding General, und charges that
the latter has transcended his prerogative
in promulgating the election ot State, Parish
and Munieif*l officers; in naming the time
for said officers to qualify aud take posses
sion of their offices; in assuming power to
convene the General Assembly; in assuming
the power of appointing persons to fill
oflices where the persons elected cannot
qualify, claiming tho right ol the persons
hnviug tho highest number of votes, who
can qualify, to tilt said offices; aud by re
fusing to send the election returns to this
Board; aud concludes by notifying all persons
whom General Buchanan’s order has de
clared elected that the Constitution of Lou
isiaua, meaning the Constitution adopted by
the late Convention, requires them to qualify
aud'enter upon their offices as sot forth iu a
former proclamation Irom this Board; that
any orders, from any source, directing tlm
contrary, are illegal and not binding, and
parties ho 'attempting to take cffico will lay
themselves liable to action at law by parties
ejected, as well as risk the certainty of re
movnl from office.
General Grant's interference with and
suspension or General Buchanan’s action in
the elcotion matter has led to this open
defiance ami contempt ol the authority of
the Commanding General.
