vicinity or the Fmitr.ry—a email edition-of
the ‘war between the races.’
It seems that a colored man, on his way
to church, was set MW! 11 ball a dozen white
youngsters, in which emeule stones, brick
bats, t'tc., were freely used. In a little while,
reiuforo?menta for either side appeared, with
a flattering prospect for a lively engagement.
While the picketting vyus in progress, infer*
mation Whs lodged at .’|?olfea headquarters,
with a requisition for aids to preserve the
peace. A competent force was at once
dispatched to the scene of conflict, and order
was soon restored—the Police anggosting
that every ojio should retire- But one white
man ‘wouldn’t,’ and, inspired by ardent
potations, committed two violations—lßth
and 21st sections. Os course Mr. Joun
Duma was told to ‘come along,’ which ho
did—and was brought before tho Recorder’s
Court yesterday morning.
Mayor Blodgett gave a patient hearing
to Dupbk’B case, and examined several wit
nesses for and against- No one appeared to
know the origin of the fracas, but. ample
testimony was produced going to show that
the prisoner whs disorderly, quarrelsome,
aud cursed one of the officers severely.
The Mayor stated that he had taken pains
to inquire into the disturbance, and ascer
tained that the threatened riot occurred
beyond the corporation limits ; he had, how
ever, reported the names of the instigators
thereof, who would be prosecuted nt the next
term of Court. The military having been
removed, tho safety of our citizens, from
riots aud other disturbances, is in the keep
ing of the Police. Those bud men who
incite riots generally escape unhurt, and
innocent victims suffer. He also traced the
evil results sure to flow_fe>ni note,-after the
first. U.C WwtJ;
In summing up, the Mayor gave those
present to understand that disorderly conduct
—especially attempts to incite riot between
the two races—would be punished on con-,
viction, and that our Policemen shall be
protected in the discharge of their duties.
If any man under arrest should make it
appear that lie is misused by a Policeman,
the latter would be lined and dismissed from
the City service.
Mr. Dupre paid twenty dollar' fiiio for
disorderly conduct, and twenty-five dollars'
fine for abusing the officer.
Bugaboo--Kate of Interest.
• The true test of the proper quantity of
currency in any country is the rate of
interest. This is a simple principle that
every one can understand—and any one,
who will think of the matter for a moment,
will see that there can be no other rule.
The money-lenders of New York have
their organs conducted by men trained in
deception on the finances, and the
financial fallacies have been worked up so
ingeniously that many of the writers them,
selves work on in the interest of the money
lenders without knowing it. The bankers
and money-lenders themselves, who know
better, go to Washington and lead astray,
silly, weak-brained politicians. In this
way the country has been brought into its
present wretched financial condition. The
people are bound hand, and foot and
turned over to the tender mercies of the
money lenders.
We see it stated, upon indisputable
authority, that during the whole of the pest
season the rate of interest in England has
been at 1| to 2 per cent., and in most of
European countries it generally ranges
from 3 to 5 per cent, and a like low rate
of interest would do more for the develop
ment of the resources of this country than
any other one thing that could be desired.
Entertainmeuia for tlic People.
It is a matter of regret that in a city as
large as Augusta there should bo no regu
lar place of amusement where the young
of both sexes might have the opportunity
of enjoying themselves.
True, we have a so-called ‘Concert Hall,’
and the high prices which have been de
manded at theatrical representations have
prevented any regular attendance on the
part of those who are fond of being amused
by tho hour together. We candidly believe
that if some enterprising man would get
up a first class ratideville company, capable
of playing the light farces of.thfe 'day, and
secure at the same time an effective orches
tra, he could obtain full houses- every
night, provided his terms of admission
were not too exorbitant. Many a citizen
who is reluctant about investing a dollar
for his evening’s enjoyment, would cheer
fully part with his ‘half’ and think nothing
of it whatever.
Without amusement of some kind, every
thing is as dull as a country churchyard.
We need something of an enlivening
; character, and we ought to have it. Busi
ness men, by a little relaxation from the
every-day cares of life, ba"C snore genuine
good feelings toward each other, and are
the more ready to promote each other’s
prosperity. The public at large is bene
fitted : money circulates more rapidly from
hand to hand—and every tradesman is
■ made to feel, directly or indirectly, the
benefits which naturally arise from the
encouragement of popular amusements.

Let ourskilful housewives try this recipe—
worth more than the cost of a year’s sub
scription to the Republican. Boil a pint
bowl full of hops in two gallons of water*
strain, and add a teacupful of flour, one of
brown sugar, and a teaspoonful of salt. No
yeast required to raise it. Let it stand
three days in a warin place, and it will then
begin to foam. three pounds of
potatoes, mash fine, add them to the yeast,
and stir the whole well together; put it into
a jag, cork tight, and set in a cool place. It
should be made at least two weeks before
using, and will keep good any length of time,
s and grow better all the while. A small
teaspoonful is sufficient for six loaves of
bread. Just try it.

ted in the disgraceful proceedings that
took place along Marbuary and South
Boundary streets on Sunday last. - Ci >wds
of idle boys both wfiite and black assemble
nightly andon the Sabbath, about the out
skirts of the city, and amuse themselves by
throwing bricks at each other. Occasion
ally pistols are fired. And on tho occasion
referred io, a serious riot was threatened,
which was suppressed by the prompt action
of officers Evans, Hood and Johnson.
Ths Sabbath day and nights are made
hideous by the unearthly yell of embryo
ruffians, fresh from the gambling hells, and
licensed groggeries, that disgrace our city,
and its suburbs. It is of no use to advise us
to report such infraction of the law to
oouuty constables, and oity_ police ; it is
well known that these officials in some
instances visit those places and never inter
fere except in desperate cases. “There is
a point, beyond which forbearance ceases to
boa virtue.” The peaceable, quiet and
law abiding citizen will not much longer
submit to have decency morality, and
modesty shocked by such disgraceful pro
cedings. Law and Order.

as to provide for a fair and honest election,
which is all the Republicans ask.

Death of the Rev. Paul Trapieb
Keith.—-The Rev. P. T. Keith, the rector of
St. Michael’s Church, in this city, died at an
early hour on yesterday morning.
Mr. Keith was born on Oetober 6, 1801,
aud at the time of bis death was conse
quently in his sixty-seventh year. He
graduated at the State University at Columbia
in 1820, and went to New York, where he
continued his theological studies. He
returned to Charleston and was ordained a
deacon and priest by the late Bishop Bowen
in 1829. He then became rector of All
Saints Church, Georgetown, whence he
removed to this city, and became assistant
reqtor of St. Michael’s Church, the Rev.
Paul Trapier then being rector. Ou the
retirement of Mr. Trapier from the active
ministry, about twenty years ago, Mr. Keith
became the rector of St. Michael’s Church,
which charge he held at the time of his
death.
The Rev. Mr. Keith was well known in
Charleston aud throughout the State, and
was universally respected. Throughout a
long career he labored assidiously and i
earnestly in the cause of the church, winning
admiration and regard from all denomina
tions by the rectitude of his character and
the spotlessness of his fame. Mr. Keith was
a plain, methodical, conscientious and pious
man, whose whole heart and sou), without
outward show, was engaged in advancing
the interests of religion.— Charleston News.

veteran printer, seventy years old, and fifty

lie said that in 1819 a young man named
Smith was indentured to him for six years to
learn the printing business. At the end of
.three years the friends of the young man
desired his release, in order that he might be
educated for the ministry. He was released
on condition that he should be educated, and
that young man is now President of Dart

There has been no animation in tho trade, tho

few to bo had at 15; clear rib hold at 16| to

The bill providing for the election of

—
Georgia Legislature.
Atlant*., August 24.—The following
resolution was introduced.in the House :
Whereas, numerous organizations through
out the State are in ■ open hostility to the
peace and good order of the State, and
threatening violence, ami in many instances
preventing the execution of the civil laws.
The leaders of said organizations claim
authority from the Governor for such demon
tratious, and the present civil government is
not sufficiently organized to prevent insur
rectionary demonstrations ; therefore,
AesoZred,-That the Governor be requested
to issue a proclamation requiring the discon
tinuance of such unlawful assemblages, and
require the faithful execution qf the laws by
civil officers.
A resolution iu the Senate to reconsider
its action-.in seating Lester in the place of
Bradley, was ruled out of order by the
Chair, as Lester was already sworn in.
Ex-Governor Brown approves the action
of the Senate in seating Lester.
Washington Items
Washington, August 23.—Rollins has
nominated nineteen supervisiors, three of
whom only are acceptable to McCullock.
The nominees are said to be extreme
Radicals. It is stated that McCu-lioch will
tie the whole matter until after the election,
rather than allow the immense patronage,
which the law gives these supervisors, to be
used entirely in Radical interest.
Washington, August 24.—The Treasury
received yesterday $500,000 in gold from
Alaska, for customs. This is the first profit
from the new territory.
It is stated that Attorney General Evarts
will advise adversely to the Secretary of
Wars’ decision that the eight hour law
involves a corresponding reduction of
wages.
The Agricultural Department is fully
installed in the new building. This move
gives the Patent Office much needed room.
No progress to day in the tax supervisors.
The Executive seems determined to have
officers equally divided between parties.
Unless this compromise is accepted by
Rollins’ advisors, no Supervisors will be
commissioned until after the election.
The law is generally regarded as unconsti
tutional,’ and the commissioning of Rollins’
nominees is not mandatory upon the
Secretary of the Treasury. -
Claims for captured and abandoned
property must now come before Congress,
the law giving tho Court Claims jurisdic
tion having expired.
Assistant Attorney General Dickey is in
charge of all cases before the Court of
Claims on behalf of the Government; the
recent laws having imposed that duty on the
Attorney General.
There are extensive frauds in the negro
bounties. It is positively reasserted that
experls have full details of fifty three cases
wherein corruption is evident.
Sherman has instructed Sheridan to drive
the Indians beyond the Kansas line, killing
them if necessary. He deems further for
bearance with the Indians impossible. It is
understood that the President approves tha
rigid course proposed by Sherman.
Welles has returned.
The Herald's White Sulphur Springs
letter says that General Rosecranz has had
bis conversation with Lee, Beauregard, A.
11. Stephens, and other Southern leaders,
but the purport of the consultation is as yet
unknown. It is believed to have been sat
isfactory, and an address to the Southern
people will probably be~ issued soon, in tho
name of the leading spirits of the Confed
eracy.
South Carolina Legislature.
Columbia, August 24;—The Republicans
deny the recent telegraphic report that the
Legislature proposes to repudiate' any class
of bonds of the State, or seize the assets of
the State Bank, pledged to pay them. Only
the profits of the bank are pledged to pay
them, and when the bank has no profits, the
bonds are secure with or without this law.
This Jaw, if possible, strengthens them. The
explanation of the matter is, that the Legis
lature of 1865 appropriated the assets of the
bank to foreign bondholders, depriving bill
holders of the prior claim. The present bill
reverses that action and protects the bill
holders as creditors of the State.
[second dispatch.]
Columbia, August 24.—A bill to pay
members in State bills at such rate as they
may be worth in greenbacks passed the
Senate, and was read once in the Hsuse.
There is a Republican caucus to night to
nominate Circuit Judges.
* ;
Commissioner Campbell.
Charleston. August 24.—Hon. James B.
Campbell started for Washington to-day, to
present to the President an address from the
people of Charleston, setting forth the dan
gerous condition of the city, the inability of
the civil authorities to preserve the peace, if
riots should occur, announcing the deter
mination of the white people to be moderate
and avoid as far as possible all collisions, and
asking the President to provide for the pro
tection of the city,
Cablegrams.
Liverpool, August 24.—1 tis very stormy
around the coast: many wrecks. The ship
Sara, from Liverpool for Quebec, was lost in
the Mersey. Captain only one saved. The
Kueen of Beauty, for California, put back
dismasted.
London, August 24.—The Foreign Office
has advices that the report of the attempt to
assassinate Queen Victoria originated from
an insane Englishman approaching the
Queen’s apartments in Switzerland.
Dispatches frpm Calcutta report the eclipse
satisfactory in the highest degree.. The sky
was clear and the phenomena plainly visible
throughout India, except at Bombay, where
a drizzling ruin prevented.
