Passing Away.
Mr. Aaron Miles, and old and highly
respected citizen of Columbia, 8. C., is
dead. Mr. Miles was a tailor, in the
seventy-second year, aud was probably the
oldest native residing in Columbia at tl>c
time of his death.
The Forge in Operation,
A low, dark, mysterious-looking place,
into which one peers through the half
open door from the bright sunlight outside,
which is in such strong contrast to the
■gloom within. It is not a large building,
but the darkness presents its real limits
from being seen, and gives an indefinite
idea of size, made still more impressive by
the heavy cranes, cranks, and other ma
chinery, that fill every portion of the
available space. These also obscure the
light, and gite a misty, shadowy appear
ance to everything around.
On all sides lie ponderous pieces of
metal, castings and half-finished work.
Beside them stand the mighty trip-ham
mers, that lately, with quick and heavy
blows, have wrought these large masses
into shape. They arc silent now, but will
soon exhibit their wonderful power. Ad
joining these are the; furnaces, glowing ,
with suppressed heat, which at intervals
escapes in little tongues of flame between
the clay packing of their mouths.
Among all these mighty engines many
men are moving, looking powerful and
calm—their faces grimed with coal-dust
and perspiration. Among them stands one
who, with an air’of authority, directs their
operations. No word is spoken, but. a
simple gesture or nod is sufficient to direct
them, and thus these sooty Cyclops labor
on in silence.
Let us witness au ordinary forging. At a
sign from their leader a gang of men move
to one of the furnaces, which is uttering,
deep, suppressed sighs, as if in pain, and
within whose fiery embrace a large shaft has
been resting for the past hour. Removing
the bricks that protect the entrance, they
seize the near end of the shaft, which is
poised in a largo crane, and swing it round
so as to bring the heated part beneath a
trip-hammer near by. ' Slowly the windlass
revolves which effects this movement, and
like a fiery dragon, or some vast crystal of
purity before unknown, the white-hot metal
emerges, clear as the sun and dazzling the
eyes with its brilliance.
Steadily it moves through the air and is
laid upon the anvil. Then with deep inspire
■ tions the piston of the trip-hammer begins to
work, with short movements at first, then
light, and next resounding blows that shake
the roof with their forc§, aud can be heard
afar off.' Every blow falls with the force of
tons, and the shaft quivers and groans with
the shock. A beautiful spray of sparks flios
out in all directions, and the whole scene is
lit up with the glare from the still open
furnace, and the red and augry-fookiug iron.
Fast falls the hammer, and at each stroke
the shaft is turned a little by the men at the
end, so as to be evenly forged. Now they
pause for a moment, and the foreman meas
ures the size with a calliper, and then the
blows are resumed, but more lightly and
carefully ; now a tap, next a heavier stroke,
and then a blow that shakes the building.
Next comes forward four stalwart smiths,
and while the foreman bolds a long-handled
wedge against the glowing metal, they
strike with heavy successive blows, all
together, with marvellous accuracy, though
they are so close together that it seems they
can hardly fail pf strikiug each other. t
A superfluous piece being thus removed,
the shaft is withdrawn from the anvil and
again inserted in its fiery bed—where we
will leave it and the forge together.
, Swearing in Hebrew.
A lady, recently, riding in a car on a
certain railway, was disturbed in her rcadiug
hy the conversation of two young men
occupying the seat before her. One of them
seemed to be a student of some college, on
his way home for a vacation. He used much
profane language, greatly to the annoyance
of the lady* She thought she would rebuke
him, and, begging pardon for interrupting
them, asked the young student if he had
studied the languages. “ Yes, madam, I
save mastered the languages quite well.”
“ Do you read and speak Hebrew ?” “ Quite
fluently. ’ “ Will you be so kind as to de
a small favor ?” “ With great pleasure ;
‘am at your service.” “ Will you be so
'nd as to do your swearing in Hebrew ?”

The Weather.
It shines— raius, ,
Thon shin os again.
What doos the woatbe'r mean ?
It hangs in doubt—
Tbo sun comes out,
With drizzling mists between.
Now dark, mow light,
Like day, like night—
’Tis changing, fickle Weather;
It mists at times,
Then rains or shines —
And, sometimes, all together.

Drones*
The fact is undeniable that iu this city
public nuisances are neither few nor far be
tween. To enumerate all the different
varieties would require more time and space
than many of them are worth. But there js
one class of nuisances specially deserving of
a passing notice. In all that pertains to the
make-up of a successful loafer, the Vagaboud
stands prefimiuCnt. He is not to be excelled
iu his profession, nor outstripped in his
efforts to reach the goal of absolute useless
ness. He is more industrious than a mos
quito, for he is on duty more hours iu twenty,
four. Iu addition to all his other qualifica
tions, heposseses that of übiquity, and hence
comes nearer being everywhere at one and
the same time than almost anything huinub
or inhuman.
Such are the professional loafers, scores
of whom infest our city and obstruct the
channels of business without ever paying
storage to the authorities or rendering any
equivalent for the monopoly of space which
might-be deviled to some useful purpose.
Theyvliang around the depot, the places of
amusement, the street corners generally—
with uo definite *053601 in view, no
business to do, no honorable aspic
rations to gratify. These worthless,
aimless, and impudent creatures may
be seen at all hours of the day, and many
hours of the night, vigorously employed in
doing nothing. ’How they live is a mystery,
but it would be a blessed thing for the com,
munity if they didn’t live at all. They are
stumbling blocks in the way’ of industrious,
respectable people, aud eye-sores to every
body but themselves. They delight instating
impudently into the faces of ladies, uttering
coarse oaths, ayd manufacturing obscene
jokes and stories.
There is no excuse for loafing in the city>
and he who indulges in jt docs so from
choice. Idleness begets’erimc as sure as
filth produces disease, and the present crop
of loafing vagabonds who hife-st our streets
are jailbirds and State prison convicts in
embryo. It would, be a, blessing to them,
as well as a good thing for the community,
to drive them out into the pure air of the
country, where the opportunities for honest
labor might, perhaps, overbalance their
tendcnei es toward vice.
Diarrhoea It eci pc.
‘ A Public Friend' contributes the fol
lowing sovereign recipe for diarrhoea,
dysentery, etc. He declares it has been in
use in his father’s family for the last
twenty years, and has never failed to effect
a cure:
Put in a large pitcher two tablcspoons
ful pf carbonite of soda and lour of loaf
sugar, pour on these a pint of hot water,
when they are perfectly dissolved add
half a pint of cold water, then put in a
tablespoonful of pulverized Turkey rhu
barb or two ounces of the tincture, a small
teaspoonful of laudanum, eight drops of
the oil of peppermint, or enough of the
tincture to give it a taste, and lastly, half
a pint of good French brandy. Bottle up
carefully, and administer to the patient in
doses equal to half a wine glass full three
times a day, or as often as the bowels are
moved. In extreme cases, accompanied by
griping pains, double the proportion of
brandy and laudanum and use freely.-
Give it a fair trial. No family should be
without it.
A Good Advertisement.
We notice in a Western paper the fact
that there is a merchant in the towh in
which the paper is printed, who, whenever
a man buys a good bill of goods from him,
makes the purchaser a present of the paper
in which he advertises, for one year, and
thus he manages tt> kctfjf the customer
reminded of his business —and he will
never forget such a present. Should that
man give his customer two dollars in green
backs or in goods, it might be forgotten ;
but when.he is once a week, for fifty weeks,
placed in receipt of his friend’s bounty, can
any one doubt it's being a good way to
advertise ? Th"is is worthy of imitation by
business men.

The Georgia Legislature.
Atlanta, August 28, 1868.
SENATE.
Thi rules were suspended on motion of
Mr. Lester, and a resolution in reference to
life surrender of the charter of the bank of
Savannah was introduced and referred Io
the Committee on the Judiciary.
Mr. Welch iutrodueed a resolution that
the Governor bo authorized to furnish four
copies to each county of Hines’ forms. • Re
ferred to a special committee.
The Senate took up the special order
which was the consideration of the bill
reorganizing the municipal government of
the city of Augusta.
A message being received from the
Governor, which he desired considered in
Executive session,
Mr. Spear moved that the Senate go into
Executive session, which was agreed to.
The doors being open, tho death of the
Hon. Mr. Moon, of Madison county, was
announced from the House,and the Senate,
after the passage of appropriate resolutions,
adjourned in respect to bis memory until
10 o’clock Monday morning.
The Senate confirmed Neal B. Knight as
Judge of the Blue Ridge Circuit, and 11. P.
Farrow as Attorney General.
HOUSE.
Tho memorial from the Ladies’ Cemetery
Association of Jonesboro, was presented by
Mr. Cloud, of Clayton. It was read, and
referred to a special .committee of five.
A resolution to pay committee-clerks was
read aud adopted.
The House resumed the consideration of
the resolutiou relative to the eligibility of
members.
Mr. Bryant, rose and signified that he
represented Mr. Colby, colored member from
Greene. He said this was a question of
constitutional law and of political impor
tance.
Nineteen Christian centuries look down
oil us to-day. That man must be an infidel
who does not see the overruling hand of
Providence in the affairs of this nation for
the last seven years. The spirit of the age
is opposed to the speeches made on this sub
ject yesterday. Mr. Scott appears to be a
young Tuan, but he is nil old fogy ; he has
forgotten this is an age ol progress. The
precidchts of the past belong only to old
fogies. Tne ideas of tho past are exploded.
When we prate of negro supremacy it
shows wc are afraid. If we are airaid that
four millions of negroes will control thirty
six iniliionu of whites, we are not deserving
of our Anglo-Saxon blood.
He said that at the time tho original thir
teen States formed the Constitution, negroes
voted in them all but South Carolina. Where
the Declaration of Independence says, “We,
the people,” it means negroes us well as
whiles ; and when the gentleman says other
wise, he belies history, and attempts to im
pose upon our credulity. We are in less
danger of social equality now than in the
days of slavery. He said that nearly every
one of the members now under trial had in
their veins some of the very A oglo-Saxon
blood’pf which the gentleman boasts.
If the negroes were such as the gentleman
from .Floyd represents, they would never
listen to carpet-baggers aud scalawags. The
gentleman aud his constituents have been
fightin g. to take away tlie negroes’ rights.
The Republicans propose to give them their
rights.
He believed his principles right. He
wanted every Republican, now, in this their
hour of need, to come up and stand up to
the principles. He wanted no rotten timber
in the party. The men who came into the
Republican party to gobble up all the offices
were au injury to the party, and this was a
good time for them to leave. He then pro
ceeded to argue the constitutional points
involved. He said those who voted to turn
out these men cemmittcd perjury Il you
decide, said be, that these men are ineligible,
is anything we have done legal ? Is not
Georgia yet out of the Union? Governor
Bullock Provisional Governor, and General
Meade Commander-in-Chief? To turn out
these men is revolution.
When the Supreme Court of the United
States admitted a negro attorney to practice
in said Court, it admitted negroes to be
citizens.
Publicly and privately he had done all
ho eould, ever since he hud been in the
State, to prevent disturbances. He said
should disturbances occur, the Democrats
are responsible fur them. He said Mr.
Cobb, Mr. Hill, and others were stirring
up the people to another revolution.
Mr. Bryant closed with a glowing compli
ment to President Lincoln, etp.
At the close of his speech Mr. Bethune
offered the following:
Resolved, That in view of the doubt rest
ing on the minds of many, in regard to tbo
question of. negroes holding office iu this
Jstato under the new Constitution, and being
no judicial decision settling the question,
and it being important that this question
should be settled at as early a day as
practicable after sufficient time has been
given for investigation, and desiring all
light that can be shed upon this great
issue; therefore, this House postpone
further action on the amendment before
tin; House, and being now discussed, until
the next meeting of the General Assembly,
and that the Judges of tho Supreme Court
be requested to give their opinion in writ
ing to this branch of the General Assembly
til its next meeting, apd that the Clerk of
this House do furnish each of the Judges
of the Supreme Court with a copy of so
much of the journals of this House as will
enable them clearly to comprehend the
question under-consideration without delay.
Mr. Price rose to a question of privilege
and offered the following :
Whereas, Intelligence of the death of the
Hon. J. B. Moon, Representative from Mad
ison county, has been communicated to the
House ; and
Whereas, it becomes us as individuals
and as members of this branch of the Gen
eral Assembly, of which the deceased was
lately a fellow-member, to bow sabmissively
to the will of that Providence which has so
inscrutably deprived us of his society and
assistance, whicli has deprived his constitu
ents of a worthy Representative on this floor,
and which has removed from the bosom of
bjs, tamily, a beloved husband and father.
Be it, therefore,
Resolved by the House of Representatives,
That as a body, we deplore the death of the
Hou. J. B. Moon, Representative from the
coupty of Madisou, and cheerfully record our
appreciation of his modest worth, his high
integrity and sterling virtues as a man, a
citizen and Representative.
Resolved, That wc tender to the stricken
widow aud bereaved children of the deceased
our sincerest condolence.
Resolved, That the Clerk of this House
transmit to the family of the deceased a
copy es the foregoing preamble and resolu
tions.
Resolved, That the House of Representa
tives do now adjourn until to-morrow morn
ing at 9 y’clock. iu honor of the memory of
. the deceased.
The House adjourned to 9 a. tn. to
morrow.
Hambnrg.
On Wednesday the Legislature of South
Carolina passed.a bi’l to repeal tho charter
of the town of Hamburg—over the river.
A petition, it is said has been sent to tire
acting Governor asking him to veto the
bill. __ •_ ' ’ ’
—Two hundred English pick pockets are
said to have come over within the last month.
Special to tho Augusta Republican.]
From Atlanta.
Atlanta, August 29, 1868.
The House spent all its session in the
discussion of the eligibility of negroes to hold
office.
Mr. Sims, of Chatham county, spoke
during the entire session, and has the floor
on Monday.
A vote will not be reached before Tues
day, or probably Thursday.
The House concurred in the amendment
of the Senate to the bill bearing on the
municipal election in Savannah. The amend
ment of the Senate allows three ballot-boxes
instead of two. With this exception, the
bill is exactly as the House passed it.
♦ ’
Washington Items-
Washington, August 29.—1i0n, John U.
Burch ami Colonel L.C. Beech, were recently
appointed a delegation by the Tennessee
Conservatives to visit tbc President. Burch
was unable to come to tho delegation, «6 he.
transferred his powers to Colonel David
Looney, who. with Colonel Beech, had ti pro
longed interview with the President. The
President referred the delegation to the
recent orders as limit executive power, but
assured them that cvi ry power authorized
by the Constitution and laws would be used
to secure freedom of ballot, without inter
ference from State or Federal troops. The
President takes the grounds that tho Consti
tution forbids the maintenance of standing
• armies in any Slate, and that the act of
1865, disbanding and forbidding militia and
volunteer force, is absolute in the South.
Tho President's ground is that militia
duty is incumbent upon every citizen, that
it is an emergency force subject to be
called from tho plow or loom at any mo
ment, and from which no citizen can
escape, but that a standing army of paid
troops in any State unless called for and
controlled by Federal authority is repug
nant to the Constitution and laws. Every
power of the Government will be used to
put down standing armies of paid troops in
the States.
Beauregard and daughter are at Wil
lard’s Hotel.
Senator Morgan had a conference with
Rollins and other Republicans to-day.
W. W, Warden, heretofore short hand
writer to the President, has been promoted
to assistant private secretary to the Presi
dent.
Nothing definite regarding the September
session.
It seems to be generally conceded it will
be too late to arm the Southern militia in
time for the election, and there appears to
be no other business meeting probable.
Attorney General Evarts has advice that
a habeas corpus for the murder of Spangler
and Arnold, has been applied for in the
Southern District of Florida.
Rosencranz visited the President.
Revenue to-day four hundred aud eighty

viding for the election of city officers on
January Ist, empowering the Governor to

The House also passed a bill prohibiting
any distinction, on account of race, color or
previous condition, on routes of travel aud
at places of entertainment and public resort.

WHEREAS, AT THE APRIL TERM OF
tho Superior Court, held in and for the
county of Jasper, ia said State, A. Di 1868,
Green Pearson was tried and convicted of the
oflence of murder, and was then and there, by
the presiding Judge of said Court, sentenced to,
be executed by hanging by the nook until dead,
on the 12lh day of Juno thereafter; and whereas,
tho said convict, heretofore, on the 6th day of
June, A. D. 1868, was respited by his Excellency,
Thos. H. Huger, Provisional Governor of this
State, until tho meeting of tho Legislature, that
tho General Assembly might take such action in
tho case as might seem to them proper; and
whereas, in the meantime, by the adoption of the
prosent Constitution of this State, the ’’power to
grant reprieves and pardons, to commute penal
ties, and to remit any part of a sentence for
offences against the State, except in cases of
impeachment,” has been, and is now, vested in
tho Governor of this State, by the Constitution
there of; and whereas, by a careful examination
of the testimony taken on said trial, it is doubt
ful whether or not the homicide charged to have
been committed- by said convict amounted to
murder, er manslaughter merely ; and it appeal
ing, also, that a great provocation was given by
tho deceased :
Therefore, By the power and authority in me
vested by the Constitution of this State, I hereby
commute the said sentence of capital punishment
so passed upon said Green Pearson, as aforesaid,
to imprisonment at hard Ibbor in the Peniten
tiary of this State, for and during his natural
life; and it is hereby ordered that the Principal
Keeper of tho said Penitentiary forthwith cause

WHEREAS, AT THE FEBRUARY AD
JOURNED TERM, A. D , 1868, of the
Superior Court held in and for said County, John
Simpson was tried fur, and convicted of, tho
crime of murder, and was therefor, then and
there, by tho presiding Judge of said Court,
sentenced to be executed by banging by the

dons, to commute penalties, and to remit any
part of a sentence for offences against tho State,
except in cases of impeachment,” has been, and
now is, vested in the Governor of this Stale;
and whereas, It has been made to appear that a
number of the jurymen who tried the case have
since declared, Ibat had eerta n testimony been
produced on the trial, whioh was afterwards
discovered to exist, the verdict would have been
materially changed; and whereas, new evidence
has been discovered since the said trial and con
viction, which, if it had b«en produced upon the

was justifiable, or at most, manslaaghter: >
