At twelve o’clock yester day, betwen eight and ten hundred persons, including boys, held a meeting in the City Hall park. At the suggestion of Edwahd Thomas, Dr. L. D. Fobd was called to the Chair, and Messrs. Allen and Black were appointed Secretaries. On taking the chair, Dr. Foitn made a brief speech, in which ho alluded to the difficulty on Monday night, saying that unarmed citizens were fired upon by ptdice officers who had no authority to act. The following gentlemen were appointed a committee to report business for the meet ing : W. 11. Tutt, W. H. Howard, Edward Thomas, E. W. Doughty, W. H. Goodrich, R. H. May, J. B. Cumming and Henry F. Russell. During the absence of the committee re marks were offered by Gen’l Rains, Gen’l A. R. Wright and J. C. Black. The first speaker said he was not a politician, but a soldier ; he had never voted in his life, and he was proud to say that, having rendered good- service to the South in the late war> the so-called United States had placed his name on the roll of houor by denying him a vote now, etc. The second speaker fully appreciated the compliment, in Calling upon him, ejc. He 1 teas a politician. And tools occasion to remind those present that the safety of their town, the security of property, and the wel-' ' fare of their wives and daughters, exhorted 1 them to action. The time has come when the voice of the people must not only be 1 heard, but fell. He then sat down. The third speaner didn’t intend to make a speech ; had resided here but a short time. Implored that moderation should character- i ize the proceedings. The evils under which < our citizens groaned should be removed— i their wrongs must be redressed. The law should be executed and enforced. Put men in office who will faithfully execute the laws. ’ The committee tai business, through Dr. . Tutt, reported the following resolutions: Resolved, That the chartered rights of the ( city of Augusta bestowed upon and insured ( to us, from time immemorial, the supreme power of the State for the protection of our * lives, liberty and property, have practically ’■ been denied us. ( That the chief executive officer—appointed . not under that charter, but forced upon us by military order—while draining from the 3 city treasury a salary more than double that t paid to any other prior incumbent, is not ( now, nor has he been in the city for weeks ] past, and indeed is rarely to‘be seen within its limits, but has been absent, and note- ' riously been engaged in political matters at 6 Washington, Chicago, Atlanta and else-, t where, to the scandalous neglect of his g duties here. That of the thirteen which compose the f board of Mayor and Aidermen ol the city of 1 Augusta, and who are charged with the s administration of City affairs, only two are ] to be found in our midst—a number insuf ficient for the transaction of business—and 8 at this day we are virtually without a 8 municipal government. That, without expressing any opinion as c to the guilt of any particular party — Resolved, that the antagonism now exist ing between the police and citizens whom 8 they are employed to protect (as evidence of C their failure to use the proper means of j preventing a disturbance on Monday night last, before resorting to the use of deadly weapons), shows a deplorable state of affairs ' which, if continued, must end in anarchy c and bloodshed. c Resolved, That the mismanagement, by j the present Mayor and Council, of the financial interests of the City proceeds either I from corruption, gross incompetency, or 1 both, and results in the destruction of the ] credit of the City and the imposition of ; heavy burdens on its citizens. That the evidence of this mismanagement is to be found in these facts: With an euprmous ' revenue derived from the real estate in the t city, taxed two per cent, on an assessment , usually higher than the market value ; from special taxes on hydrants and other water ’ privileges ; from imposts and licenses upon • all branches of business, and from other ; sources not here enumerated, ncvcrlhelos.s t the ordinary expenses of the municipal ( are not met. Employees of the corporation are unpaid. Policemen are 1 compelled to wait for their salaries.:— Mechanics are unable to collect their wages. 1 The lights burned in the streets are not paid for; and the corporation is sued in the courts upon claims of Northern machinists . for engines furnished the fire department— claims which, though not paid, are undis puted. Again, valuable investments of the corporation, made by the predecessors of the present Mayor and Council, have by the. latter been wasted or imperilled. O late ’ Georgia Railroad Emanuel— J A Brinson tinir to one thdus.nta snkris. wtra the stock . --vnsta and Columbia Railroad Company, have oecu pledged and will, unless a better administra tion prevails, be sold for loans made to this Council. Again, this Council, in order to meet its subscription of SIOO,OOO to the Macon and Augusta Railroad, has issued $250,000 bonds of the City and put them into the hands of an agent o.f the Railroad Company in New York. These bonds have been hypothecated at forty cents on the dollar, and the condition of neither the Railroad nor the City affords any prospect that they will be redeemed, and the City will have paid $250,000 principal and accumulated interest for a subscription of SIOO,OOO. Resolved, That we appeal against tfaeso evils, and protest that wc be left no longer the victims of the stupidity or corruption which misapplies, wastes, or embezzled the public money, which, after such onerous taxation and so much borrowing, after bur dening the tax-payer and deterging capital from our midst, leaves not wherewith to meet the ordinary expenses of the City, and has reduced the credit to contempt. Resolved, That inasmuch as the Governor, in his late message to the General Assem bly, has virtually recommended that he be invested with discretionary power as to-the amount of the bonds of public officers of this State, that we enter our solemn protest against reduction in any way of the bonds required of public officers of this city and county, as these bonds arc the only Mcurity the puttie have for the proper application of the public funds which, in the shape of State and county taxes, alone amounted last year to upwards of $120,000. Resolved,That these mutters command our must serious consideration ; and this meet ing do call upon the Legislature now in session in Atlanta for relief, and that three citizens be appointed to present these reso lutions and the subjects herein embodied and pertinent thereto, us a memorial to the Legislature; am) to remain in Atlanta at the expense of the * citizens until such bill be passed as may insure to us that protec tion vouchsafed by law to our lives and property. Resolved, That a committee of twelve be appointed, l>y the chairman of tins meeting, to obtain the signatures of the citizens of Augusta, without delay, to these- resolu tions. The report was received and ‘adopted, unanimously.’ The following gentlemen compose the Committee to procure signatures to the res olutions : First Ward— John U. Meyer* H. C. Fos ter, 11. T. Peay. Second Ward—J. T. Bothwell, Henry Myers, John L. Ells. Third Ward — D. B. Plumb, A. T. Gray, John D. Butt. Fourth Ward —C. A. Platt, J. W. Horton, M. O’Dowd. Messrs. W. A. Walton, Win. II Tutt, and Wm. IL Howard were appointed the committee to wait upon the* Georgia Legis ture. On being called for, Joseph B. Cumming took the stand. He said that all had been said that need be said. Endorsed heartily the resolutions adopted. The people had tho right to appeal to the Legislature, and he trusted the Legislature, within ten days, would enact a law granting relief Io "the citizens of Augusta —a law enabling them to elect a Mayor and Council. The meeting, on the whole, was conducted fairly and orderly—with the exception of the conduct and sayings of a few conservative rowdies who indulged in obscene expressions and cheered at inappropriate intervals. - Gold and Silver, The relative values of gold and silver have been ascertained, with probable ac curacy, almost from the date of the dis covery of these precious metals and their use as a medium of exohauge. In the time of Abraham, the relative value of gohj and silver was one eighth; a thousand years before the Christian era it was one to twelve r, B. C. 600, it was one to thirteen; at the..; of the Christian era, it was one to nine. Since that period the standard, more positively stated, has been as follows : A. D. 500 irold to silver as I to 18 ' A. D. 1100 “ “ I to 18 A. D. 1600 , “ “ Ito 13 A. D. 1700 “ “ ...........1 to 131 With a slight variation the latter ratio continued to 1848. Before the California discoveries of that year, gold uniformly commanded a premium which the interest then, destroyed, and the demand for silver occasioned ft slight premium on the latter. The.value of gold to silver in London that year was Id. to 15d. The price of gold then was 775. 6d. per ounce, and of silver 594 d. per ounce. On the Ist of January, 1868, silver was 72d. per- ounce. This rise was due in a degree to the fact that short supplies of cotton from this country during the war required large sums of silver to be sent to India for cotton as well as for other articles. After the gold discoveries in California, France began to exchange her silver for gold currency, sending the silver to India for silks and other products. The tea and silver trade of China, with ail countries, also absorbs an immense amount of silver. From tire commencement of tho Christian era to the Discovery of Amorim, it is esti mated that gold had been taken from the surface and mihed Io the amount of $3.800,. , 000.000 ; from that date to the close of 1812 $1,800,000,000; in 1860, Russia adds $740,- 000,000, and California and Australia $2,000,000,000 more. The annual average of the product of gold at the commencement of the Christian era is estimated at $8,000,- 000; at the discovery of America, this product had dijninished to $100,000; -in 1600, it had increased to $2,000,000; in 1700,’t0 $5,000,000 ;in 1800, to $15,000,000; ; in 1843, to $34,000,000; in 1850, to SSB, 000,000 ; in 1853, to $236,000,000- There was a subsequent falling off, so that, in 1860, , the product was only $210,000,000. l'|ie ’ annual average loss by the wear -of coin •is estimated at one-tenth of one per cent. The loss by consamption in the arts, and by fire and .shipwreck, is calculated at from one to j three millions per year. It is not claimed that .these estimates age entirely correct; they arc approximately so, no doubt. Cutting Timber. If oak, hickory, or chestnut lie felled in August, in the second running of the sap, and barked, quite a large tree will season perfectly, and even the twiggs will remain sound for years; whereas that ent tn winter, and remaining until the next fall (as thick as your wrist), will be completely saprottefi, and will be almost unfit for any purpose. The body of the oak split into rails will nut last more than ten or twelve years. Chest nut will last longer, but no com parison to that cut in August. Hickory cut in August is not subject to be worm-eaten, and lasts a long time for fencing. A Correspondent to the Rural American.aayii: “When 4 began farming in- 1802, it was the practice to cut timber for post fencing in the winter. While oak posts and black oak rails, cut at that time, would not last more than tea or twelve years. In 1808, I began cutting fencing timber in August. Many of the oak rails cut that year are yet sound, as well as most of the chestnut.’’ If the bark is not taken off thia month, it will of itself peal off the second or third year, and leave the tree perfectly sound. The tops of the tree are also more valuable for fuel than when cut yi winter or spring. I advise young farmers to try the experiment, and if post fences do not last twice as long, I forfeit all my experience as worthless. . ■ «-W« -»■ w.

Legislature is getting ready to go to work in earnest: A bill consolidating the offices of Secre tary of State and Surveyor General was passed in the Senate ; also a bill fixing the salaries of Judges and State House officers: Supreme Court, $2,500 in gold ; Superior Court, SI,BOO in gold; Solicitors, $250. State House officers,-$2,000 in currency. The Governor sent a message with ymr nutioni but afterwards requested to with, draw it. An effort is being made to place the appointing of Superintendent and other officers of tho State railroad in the hands of the Legislature. Committee on Bradley’s case is in session. W. Georgia Legislature. Atlanta, July 30.—The Senate passed a bill consolidating the offices of Secretary of State and Surveyor General. A motion to go into Executive session was agreed to, and the Chair decided that the chamber should be closed. Au appeal from the decision of the Chair was sustained. A message was received from the Governor requesting the privilege of withdrawing a communication sent to the Senate, making certain nominations. Pending the same, tho Senate adjourned. In the House, a resolution empowering committees to employ female clerks was defeated. A bill is now before the House taking from the Governor the power of appointing -Superintendent, Auditor, and Treasurer of the State Rondos Georgia, and transferring the same power to the General Assembly. The following was introduced and passed by a large majority : Inasmuch as a vital question heretofore dividing the members composing this branch of the General Assembly has been settled, Resolved, That we, like men, having the interest of the State at heart, will bury party prejudice, and go forward iu the perfect enactment of such laws as will establish peace and harmony among the people of the State. The committee on the investigation case of A. A. Bradley, the Senator accused of felony, is in session'.

Washington Items Washington, July 30—The State De partment has issued to the Russian Minister ,a Treasury check lor $7,200,000 in gold,- w hich .closes the Alaska transaction. The action of the South Carolina and Georgia Legislatures in the recent elections, which indicate the abandonment of extreme views, creates consternation in Republican circles here. • The Republican Executive Commit tee have received unfavorable accounts from the South. Major Moore, of the San Antonia Express, who has arrived here says that little hope is entertained for the reconstruction policy in Texas. A member of GovernorWarmoth’s staff has just arrived from Louisiana, and says “if the President does not respond to the call for troops which tine Governor will make in compliance with the resolution just passed by the Legislature, the State will be practi cally in rebellion. The western part of the State is wholly under the control of the Ku Klux Klan, who ride about openly by day light. Several of the former rebel cavalry regiments have been reorganized and culled Seymour Knights, and the infantry compa nies, Blair Guards.” Preparations are making to reduce the Navy, in compliance with reduced appro priations. Two vessels are to be withdrawn from each foreign squadron. Reverdy Johnson leaves on Saturday, accompanied by Mrs. Lincoln. A Republican who favored Johnson during impeachment, is proposed for Com missioner of Internal Revenue, in whose favor Rollins will unconditionally resign. The new Tax law halts on account of differences between McCulloch and Rollins, a compromise being regarded as necessary .and probable, which will continue the com missionersliip in Republican hands. General Stoneman takes a short trip North iu search of health, and will return to Virginia in about two weeks. Large numbers of oflice-hoMcrs have been discharged ot» account of meagre appropria tions. Internal revenue to day, ore miltion and three quarters. Attorney General Evarts decides that Rollins is properly in office until a successor is qualified, us his resignation requires, or suspended under the provisions of the Tenure of Office act. The Kansas Democratic Convention has nominated G. W. Giyck for Governor, and Maxwell McCaster for Lieutenant Governor. An Omaha dispatch says reports have reached there from'Wood river, Nebraska, that a large bind of Sioux and Cheyennes attacked a small party of Pawnee -scouts under Lieutenant Hawley, killing one of the scout», wounding Lieutenant Hawley, and capturing their arms and ammunition. Yesterday, the Senate of Tennessee unani mously declared that the State was unable to pay the interest on the Stale debt, and « bill was psssbd providing for the funding of the principal and interest due and becoming due for three years. A resolution was introduced in the Scnato to raise a committee to wait upon the Gov ernor and ask him to recommend the removal of political disabilities from the disfranchised citizens of Tennessee. Under the provisions of the Tax bill, three hundred whiskey inspectors go out of office. The agricultural report states an in creased number of acres planted in corn of two and one half million. The increase is mainly in the South. The crop is generally in splendid condition. The yield of wheat is above an average of last year, except in the Southern States. Cotton returns show a heavy falling off iu acreage, except in Texas. The average reduction in acreage is about ten per cent. There is, however, better and cleaner culture and a wide use of fertilizers. The stand of tobacco, except in Kentucky and Michigan, is a little below an average. Associate Justices. Columbia, July 30. —Major A. J. Willard, Major Volunteers, and Captain Hoge, of the 6th Infantry, a young man aged thirty two, were elected Associate Justices of the Supreme Court. He has practiced law only two years. The Carolinians, lawyers and others are much disheartened at the result. The Democrats tried to elect a Conservative Republican, but failed. Democritic Jubilee.
