Our citv »u filled with confiietiag p...*s,^s4?^ehllv« t to a wimiag# iSat occuil <m Sabbath nfwtsso" iu>t> 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. Boat Yca«t 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. —A shooting affair between Mr. Jack son and Mr. Harrison occurred in a Mont gomery ciub house, a few nights ago, in which the‘former was shot in the thigh. ■MMMWMMMNIHFRWMMMSKKWMmWM t»w an< enter. We have received the following, which is published without comment: Mu. Bmtob: Have we any officers of the law either Municipal or State? If so, why do th•» -mt endeavor to put a atop to thoMlofraations of the law, that culumnia. 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.

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. ———— —At the late Editorial Convention in New Hampshire, Simeon Ide, of Claremont, a veteran printer, seventy years old, and fifty nine years in the business, read an essay, 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 mouth College. —One thousand miles of the Union Pacific road will bo open before the close of the year, and whole road will be in running order during tho latter part of 1869. 11.I 1 . . .—! 1.-li-L-d- OOM MERC I AI7 AUG UST A~M~IRK ETS.

The Somite now bold afternoon sessions. Tho bill to encourage loyalty, good order and decency, by allowing county advertise ments to be published oniy in loyal newspa pers, was lost. Senate adjourned, pending a discussion-on bill to amend usury laws. It allows any rate, when specified iu contract. In tho House, Mr. Barnum introduced a resolution, requesting the Governor to issue a proclamation requiring the discontinuance of organizations claiming to have authority from Governor Bullock for arming- classes the movement as tending to insurrection. The bill providing for the election of Mayor and Aidermen of Savannah, was passed. — 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.
