Death of John 6. Coffin.
We are pained to announce the death of
another old citizen—Mr. John G. Coffin.
About a fortnight since he received injuries
by falling from a scaffolding, at the Sand
Hills, while painting a house, from the effect
of which he died, yesterday morning at three
o'clock, at his residence in this city.
The deceased had been for many years an
honored citizen of Augusta, prominently
connected with the Baptist Church and the
Masonic and Odd Fellows’ associations.
His funeral notice will be found in another
column.

Drowned.
A young man by the- name of William
Byrd, aged about twenty years, recently
from Lincoln county, was drowned on Sun
day night, between nine and ten o’clock,
while bathing with some friends in the
Canal, opposite the water basin. It is sup
posed that he was seized with cramp. His
body was recovered in an hour afterwards
and taken to the house of Mrs. Parker in
the vicinity. Coroner Rhodes, on being
notified, held an inquest over the remains,
and the jury rendered a verdict of “death
from accidental drowning.”
Kxpre»a Trade,
Opposite our office the amount of express
matter arriving and departing every morn
ing is immense. This would indicate that
Hade is not completely dead. It is cheering
to sec the huge wagons piled up with every
conceivable variety of freight. Os course,
a great deal of this express matter is fruit
and truck, but even this must make a
comparative amount of briskness, which is
very acceptable at this time.
Summer Weather.
Let us be thankful that Summer has
come ; that the cold Winter winds no longer
freeze the blood, and that the Spring rains
are over. But if our friends in the rural
districts need more moisture for the fruits
which they cultivate, let us pray for more
rain to fall, lest, during the days which lie
before us, our rations may be short in the
land, and for our overmuch petitioning we
be too liberally rewarded.
The Coming Crop.
As much interest is felt throughout the
country in regard to the prospects of the
colton and other crops, we will be grateful to
our planting friends, and others in the
iuteiior, for information on the subject. Our
factors and others who have opportunities fbr
obtaining valuable information in regard to
the growing crops, and anything of interest
in relation thereto, will confer a favor by
communicating the same to us.
Postal Hints.
In some of the Eastern postofflces, for the
convenience of the citizens, assistance to
the mail sorters, and to insure a prompt
arrangement of the mails, there are drop
boxes for each State or direct mall route,
plainly labeled, “New York State,” “New
York City,” “Boston,” “New England
States,” “Buffalo,” “Southern States,"
“Western States,” etc., etc. This plan has
been found to work advantageously, giving
the clerks better facility, and benefitting
all concerned. Such an arrangement could
well be adopted in our postoffiee, and we
hope to see the plan adopted soon.
The National Hotel, Atlanta.
This justly popalar hotel, under the man

To be Built*
The Macon papers have the satisfaction
of announcing that a private despatch has
been received from George 11. Hazlehurst,
President of the Macon and Brunswick
Railroad, dated at New York, July Ist, that
the negotiations which have been pending
for some time past between him and several
moneyed men of that city, have been brought
to a happy termination ; that the contract by
which the road is to be built by them has
been “signed, sealed and delivered.”
The Company which undertakes the com
pletion oi the road has millions of money*
aud is thrice able to perform the work which
it is about to undertake. The work will at
once be placed under contract and pushed
forward to immediate completion.

The Cotton Tax.
The exact phraseology of the law repeal
ing the cotton tax having become a matter
of dispute, a certified copy of the act has
been procured from Washington by the
Journal oj Commerce. The law reads : “all
cotton grown in the United States after the
year 1867 shall be exempt from internal
tax, and cotton imported from foreign
countries on aud after November Ist, 1868,
shall be exempt from duty.”
A Sad Affair in Georgetown, S. C. i
We learn that on Monday week, Charles ,
Davis, a son of the late Capt. Ross C. Davis, ,
went out with several hoys of his age to
swim, and not returning with his comrades
some fears were entertained for his safety.
His companions, when questioned about
him, returned evasive answers, which aroused
the suspicions of his family. The river was
dragged for several days, and on Wednesday
last the body of the missing boy found, very
much bruised and lacerated, and bearing
evident marks of violence about the head.
The Coroner was notified of the fact, an
inquest held, and the suspicions so strongly
supported, that two of the three boys who
were with the deceased were recognized to
appear; at the November term of the Court
for that District.
♦♦♦
Cause* of Sudden Death,
Very few of the sadden deaths which are
said to arise from diseases of the heart do
really arise from that cause. To ascertain
the real origin of sudden deaths, the ex
periment has been tried in Europe, and
reported to a scientific congress held at
Strasbourg. Sixty six cases of sudden
death were made the subject of a thorough
post mortem examination. In these cases
onlv two were found who had died from
disease the heart. Nine out of sixty six
had died from apoplexy, while there were
forty six cases of congestion of the lungs—
that is, the lungs were so full of blood they
could not work, there not being room enough
for a sufficient quantity of air to enter to
Support life. The causes that produce
congestion of the lungs are cold feet, tight
clothing, costive bowels, sitting still until
chilled after being warmed with labor or a
rapid walk, going too suddenly from a close
heated room into the cold air, especially
after speaking, and suddenly depressing
news operating on the blood. These causes of
sudden death being known, an avoidance of
them may serve to lengthen the lives lost
under verdict of heart complaints. That dis
ease is supposed to be inevitable and incura
ble; hence many do not take the pains
they would to avoid sudden death, if they
knew it lay in their power.
The Dog Nuisance.
The question of taxing dogs at a higher
rate tbart hitherto, and of confining them to
their masters’ enclosures, is beginng to be
discussed in quarters entitled to high con
sideration. If it is necessary to restrain by
law lhe running at large of sheep, goats and
swine, why should the dog be a privileged
animal 7 It is true, thaj in cities and
incorporated boroughs, the dog is sentenced
to wear a tin collar over his neck during
certain warm mouths of the year. This is
an evidence going to prove that his running
at large, without restraint, is dangerous to
the community. In country places, however,
there are no such wholesome restrictions.
It is well known that dogs are kept as a
luxury ; there is not one outoi the thousand
of any real benefit to its owner. We would
not ask that a man be prohibited by law
from keeping a dog, or as many as he
plousea ; but that it, er they, be kept in an
enclosure on his own premises, and not per
milted to run at large—that he be made
liable for any damages they may do to others,
and that they be taxed as a luxury at a
specific amount.
The commissionerof agriculture estimates
the annual damage done to sheep in the
United States, by dogs, at two millions of
dollars; and thousands of farmers and
stock breeders are deterred from investing
in sheep, on account of the dog risk. This
goes to show that the agricultural wealth of
the country is greatly retarded for want of
fair and just laws relating to this animal.
The time is not far distant when the people
will demand that such laws be enacted,
that those who keep dogs shall do so under
greater restraint, at their own expense and
risk for any damage done to their neighbors.

A Kat Narrative.
The story we are about to narrate should
lead all lo beware how aud what they dream.
A certain gentleman met with a dreamy
incident, a few nights since. He is a man
who reads a good deal, smokes a great deal,
aud when he retires to bed, thinks much
more than the generality of people. Conse
quently, he-frequently gets nervous before
sleep closes his eye-lids. After hearing the
“ iron tonge of midnight toll twelve,” he
dropt into a nice, pleasant sleep, but was
awakened by the loud gnawing of a rat in
the ceiling. Not appreciating the unsea
sonable disturbance, he rapped sharply on
the wall and silenced the midnight intruder.
Sleep returned, and in that balmy uncon
sciousness a dream came. He dreamed of
being in his eellftr and chasing a monstrous
rat. The quadruped was exceedingly smart,
jampin? from place to place, running from
corner to corner, but avoiding the pursuer.
At last tlto rat jumped on a low shelf, and
our man of dreams determined to end the
contest. Raising his arm, at the end of
which be supposed he had a good slick, he
struck out a terrible blow. “Oh 1 murder —
fire—robbery 1” screamed his wife, attempt
ing to rise from the bed The secret was
soon told. Instead of killing a very large
rat in his dreams, he had struck his “ better
half” straight across the nose 1 An explana.
nation followed. No suit for divorce* is
anticipated. It is possible, however, that a
new calico dress will have to be purchased,
and the rat may be sned for midnight
trespass and disturbance.
I“.ry yourNmall Debts.
Pay your email debts. You do not know
how much good is accomplished by adopt
ing this principle. It was honest old Ben
Franklin, we believe, who, as a matter of
experiment, followed up a small amount
which he paid to a tradesman. In a very
little while he ascertained that the money
paid the tradesman bad passed from hand
to hand until the number of bills, of nearly
similar amount, settled with it reached
some fifteen or twenty. It may not be
possible to do as Franklin did, tuid trace up
the history of a small amount of money in
the way of debt paying ; but it may be set
down aS a fixed fact that the prompt pay
ment of small debts is the initiative step
towards paying cash for everything. Gen
erally speaking, these small debts are due
to persons who need all the little capital
they can command. To such, they are of
immense importance ; and it may be said
of the • person who allows these trifling
obligations to remain unpaid-while having
the means to discharge them, that he is not,
in the true sense of the word, an honest
man, unless, by express contract, a time of
payment has been fixed, and that time not
arrived. Pay your small debts, and your
big ones too. If you would be happy and
comfortable, sleep soundly, eat ( heartily, and
enjoy that peace of mind which only men
with good consciences are supposed to enjoy,
pay your small debts—especially the small
debt you owe the printer.
Phillips’ Provision Exchange.
Cincinnati, July 186%
Editor National llrpublican :
Tti« market for provisions during the week
past continued to decline, and there was no ani
mation even at the decline. Holders began to
think that the bottom had fallen out. Parties
fearing that an advance might soon take place
have been slyly feeling through brokers, and
have finally sent their orders, though at low
figures, yet this would indicate that more would
still be wanted, and to-day the fact culminated
with largo orders and but few soiling at anything
like the prices that have been current during
some weeks past, and st the close the market is
firm, with far more buyers thau sellers, at quota
tions below :
MESS PORK declined to $27, with considera
ble sales. At the close, buyers were free at this
figure, with but few sellers under $27.50.
LARD also deelined to lajc, with small sales,
but at this figure to-day buyers were free, and
so more offered in some cases, but generally
held at 16c. Kegs are scarce at 19c for winter
rendered; refined 18c.
BULK MEATS declined largely during the
week, whieh decline induced operators to come
into the market, and the demand to-day was
good at 10 L 13, 135, and UJc, all loose, for
Shoulders, Sides, Clear Rib, qpd Clear Sides,
with no sellers within Jale of these prices.
BACON—AIeo sympathised with oiber articles
and is quiet but firmly held, and so considerable
quantity could be bought at current quoted prices
—holders preferring to hold through the warm
months rather than accept present offering prices.
I quote, nominally, at 12. Isj and 16 cts. for
Shoulders, Clear Rib ind Clear Sides. Hams
quiet at 17 for plain aril IS to 19 for Sugar Cured.
PLATE BEEF—Quie at S2O. Dried Beef 18

EXPORTS —Os the w< ek were 932 bbls, and
960 kegs of Lard; 709 hhds. and 1,084 tres. of
Bulk Meats and Bacon ; 972 bbls, and 423,000
lbs. Pork.
IMPORTS.—SOB bbls, and 15 kegs of Lard.

National Democratic Convention.
New York, July 6.—The police arrange

accused that party of violating its own
declarations against repudiation, and un
equal taxation, and then asserted solicitude
for the soldiers and also for soldiers’ widows

party of- extravagant* wasting of public
monies, tainting national credit, expediting
immigration by over-burdening labor, and
breaking down all constitutional guarantees
of republican liberty. He denied the asser
tion of the Republican Convention that the
principles of the Declaratiou of Independ
ence are now sacred on every inch of Ameri
can soil, for in ten States of the Union
military power suppresses civil law.

expressing himself in favor of according
suffrage to all citizens, Chase says :
“On this question I adhere to my old Stale
rights doctrine. Iu the event of my nomi
nation and success, I trust I should so act
that neither the great party which makes the
nomination, nor the great body of patriotic
citizens whose coOperation would ensure
success, would have cause to regret their
action. It is an intense desire with me to
see the Democratic party meeting the ques
tion of the day in the spirit of the day, and
assuring to itself a long duration of ascend
ancy. It can do so, if it will.”

but there is not much demand, and the market is

COTTON continues in good demand, but the
scarcity of the better grades restricts transac
