• Death of James Tupper, of Charleston
The funeral of this eminent citizen of
Charleston, who died on Friday night, oc
curred at the Citadel-Square Church on
Sabbath morning. An impressive discourse
was preached by Rev. Dr. Winkler,’ the
pastor, Jrum the sixteenth chapter of the
gospel by John—‘l go my way to Him that
sent me.’ The deceased, a son of Tristan
Tupper, was born in Charleston on Decern
ber 9, 1819.

Before the Folios Court.
Many persons are not ashamed to behave
so scandalous as to be brought before the
Police Court, but they are apt to be more or '
less ‘scandalized’ when their names appear
in our reports. There is just one way to
avoid all such ‘unpleasantness'—and that is {
to behave like decent men and women, and
then the first step towards the court will not
be taken. Avoid that tribunal, and your 1
good name will still be in your own keeping. '
Our Shade Tree*.
' Those only whose lot is east among brick
walla and burning pavements, listening day
after day to the music of rattling drays and (
creaking carts, can appreciate the cooling
delightfulness of Shade Trees. The pres
ence of forest trees amid the busy haunts of
men—where all is heat, dust and confusion
—affords a most grateful protection from the
rays of the burning suu, and exerts a most
refreshing aud invigorating influence upon
the wearied and lauguid frame.
We think it a matter well worthy of grat
ulation on the part of our citizens, that
Augusta partakes so much of the character,
sj to speak, of the city and country. This
has been effected by bringing tbe country
into the city: planting the cool, breezy
treasures of the woods along the thorough,
fares and promenades of the city— protecting
the pedestrian from the fiery heat, afford
ing a delightful and cooling shade,
and, above all, enlivening and invigora.
ting the spirits of the people. No more
beautiful and even healthful appendage can
be added to the streets of any city than n
row of shade trees with their waving boughs
—nothing which speaks so much of rural
joys and rural Beenes —nothing which can
be so easily obtained, and nothing which can
be so universally enjoyed. All classes par
take of the pleasurable luxury of the green,
waving shade trees. Tbe thoughtful busi
ness men oi the city, men of the ledger and
the iron chest; the students of tbe piled up
volumes of courts and colleges ; the men of
care and thought, of the voice and of the
pen; the youth of the city, dreamful and
hopeful; the stately matrons find the bright
eyed, dimpled-cheeked maidens-*-all, not
even excepting the busy, rusty editorial
fraternity—enjoy the grateful shade from the
moment that ‘dewy mom opens the infan t
buds,’ to the close of the long, sii I, parch
ing summer day.
Judge* for Fan C'ourta.
An Atlanta dispatch says both Houses
have passed a bill authorizing the holding of
the fall term of Superior Courts of the State
with juries that have been already drawn.
In default of a proper number of jurors
the presiding Judge is anthoriued
and empowered to draw twelve tales jurors
trom the jury box already made Up, and
empanel them as a jury should it become
neceasary.
ICcpndiatcs the Concern.
We have be«u famished with a Copy of
the foliowisg lettei, it bcihg the resignation
of Aaron'’W.* Gilbert, a member of the
colored Democratic Club of this city:
Augusta, Ga., August 31st, 1868.*
To the President and Officers of the Denib
cratie dub:
I herewith most respectfully but earnestly
offer my resignation aS a member of your
Club, as I do not feel that I can give that
party my support, and as I do not wish to
deceive any person.
Mr. U. 4. Ridley, President of the Club :
The Democrats having declared that 1
have no rights that a white man is bound to
respect, I hope you will lay this letter before
the mooting at large, as 1 am a Republican
always was one, always will be. Starvation
and death may uonw, and me without a
dollar in my pocket, and still I will be a
Republican, and always will be, so as to
have an equal showing before the law.
Yours resnectfully,
Aaron W. Gilbert.
Still Another.— Last night, we received
another letter of resignation, as follows:
AuGtfsTA, August 31st, 1868.
17. A. Ridley, President Colored Democratic
IJ Club: _
Sir—l respectfully hand iir this <hy resig
nation as a member of your
believing, as 1 do, that it is against my nice,
against myself, against the Constitution anti
fundamental laws of my country, and against
my God. George.Tustine.

Crops aud Trade.
The intimate relation between crops and
trade is one which, is acknowledged by all.
Agriculture is the source of prosperity id all
branches of trade and manufacture. As the
farmer fails or succeeds, so the fortunes of
tlie merchant aud manufacturer decline or
prosper. As our farmers become wealthy
with the growth of the country, the failure
of crops for a single season is less felt, on
account of the fact that their prosperity ena
bles them to hold a largo portion of a crop
until assured of the succeeding one. The
failure, or partial failure in many portions of
the country of our cereal crops, for the last
two years, has caused especial anxiety in
regard to those of the present year. The
seosou is now far advanced, aud ou the whole
the harvest of small grain is very satisfac
tory. If not as large as many predicted two
months ago, it is still abundant, and vastly
more than can possibly be made use of for
home consumption. We have, therefore, to
look abroad for a market. It is evident that
the foreign demand will regulate the prices—
and as remunerative prices arc necessary to
activity in trade,<ill far-sighted dealers are
looking anxiously to sec what demands the
civilized world is going to make on us for
food.
England is the great market for our
breadstuffs. The reports in regard to the .
crops of that country are contradictory, but
British papers are asserting strongly that 1
they are sufficient to authorize a reduction in
the price of wheat al Liverpool from two to
eight shillings per quarter, and foreign mer
chants are busy in all the ports of the world
trying to maintain this position. Last year
the imports of grain at Liverpool amounted
to 17,696,593 cwt., of which the United
States furnished but 3,817,082 cwt. if Eng
land Should only require two-thirds aS much
foreign grain as last year (and it seems pro
bable that she will require more), and the
other sources of her l ist year's supply
cut off, or are less productive, she will have
to call on us for our full last year's quota,
while it is reasonable to suppose that her de
mands will exceed it.
The surplus wheat crop ol California, that,
was at first set'down at 17,000,000 bushels,
is uow reduced to 12,000,000, and will prob
ably not reach that. Besides, tbe difficulty
of getting it to the English market will pre
vent its coming in serious opposition U> the
Western States ; and it now seems probable
that they will be called on to furnish more
grain to the foreign markets than Inst year-
This insures paying prices and active trade
throughout their extent; aud ji peace can
be maintained and order established in our
Southern States, a new impetus will be given
to business from this source.
With magnificent crops both North and
South, should the voice of the people at the
fall elections emphatically declare that the
Government aud its laws shall be main
tained, the year 1869 will be entered upon
in the midst of greater prosperity than we
have been blessed with for J-Jars.

Burke’s Weekly. •
The August number —bound iu a hand
some monthly part —of this favorite of the
boys and giris is before us. We notice that
tbe Southern Boys' and Girls' Monthly,
heretofore published at Richmond, has been
discontinued, and its subscription list trans
ferred to the HeeWy. This will insure-a
concentration of the talent of the South on
one periodical, and tend to make Burke’s
Weekly even better than it has been. The
Weekly is now thoroughly established, and
is daily growing in public favor. The pub
lishers will send specimen numbers, free of
charge, on application. Terms, §2 a year*

Keraiem and lla»,
At a meeting of the City Council of
Charleston, on the 25th inst., “the Mayor
stated that the Gas Company had declined
to reduce the price of gas to the city, their
largest consumers, and it becomes necessary
to devise some plan to reduce this expense.
He proposed aplau of ligbtiug with kerosene
oil, showing that equal, if not more, light
would be given, and a saving made of §4,800
yearly.”
(From tho Atlanta Intelligencer.
The Georgia Legislature.
Tuesday, August 29, 1868..
HOUSE.
llousc met. Prayer by Rev. Mr. Spill
man.
Mr. Chambers offered a resolution author
izing the Clerk of the House and Secretary
of the Senate to draw §SOO each to defray
contingent expenses of thejr respective
offices. Adopted.
House concurred in the amendment of the
Senate to the bill of the House to provide
for the election of Mayor and Board of
Aldermen for the city of Savannah.
Mr. Hall,- of Glynn, offered a memorial
from citizens of Augusta, relative to appro
priating money to remove obstructions from
the Savannah river.
Mr. Sims resumed discussion on the reso
lution declaring negroes inelligible to office.
Ho said this disagreement with gentlemen
on the other side were political and nut per
sonal. He said there were three arguments
used by them viz: difference of color—
inferiority of race—incapacity from ignor
ance. Said he was bearer of resulutions
adopted by the colored people in Convention
nt Macon, to the last Legislature, he
was told to go back and say to his people
teu years hence would- be time enough
for them to ask for political privileges.
It has been but two years, aud now
he is btng heard by consent of this House.
He spoke of the colonial history of this gov
ernment. He said our colonial sires made
a compact with God, that all men were born
tree and equal. When they failed to carry
out the covenant our troubles began. He
heard no objection to any other race than
the African.’ It was all prejudice. Ho did
not believe that Adam was white, or Nonh,
Ham was made black on account of immor
ality. Gehazi was turned white on account
of avarice, lie said it was a chemical fact
that bull’s blood made sugar white—bulling
blood made negroes white. It had been
going on till it was doubtful whether some
who were attempted to be unseated were
white or black. It was not his color, but
the degradation of slavery.- Men can not sit
quietly aud peaceably here with those whom
they have So grossly wronged. No one can
accuse us of having done wrong here; and
if we have differed with those on the other
side of- the House, we have done so because
we thought it our interest to do so. He
never doubled from the hour the Charleston
Convention burst up, but that his people
would be free. God would not allow the
North to succeed in the late war until it bad
decided negroes were citizens. He said
Chief Justice Taney’s decision had been
reversed by God.
Mr. Anderson, of Cobb, arose to a point
of order. He said he was in favor of the
greatest justice to the colored members of
the House, yet he was opposed to this
criminal waste of time.
Mr. Tutnlin, of Randolph, said that as wc
have set out with the intention of hearing
every member upon the floor on this vital
question, that he hoped gentlemen would
nut be confined to the fifteen minute rule
especially colored men. Ho desired that
they should bo heard—one hour, one day
or one week, if it required so much to give
them satisfaction—or moke their defense
individually.
Speakci* McWltdrter decided that, by com
mon consent, he had. thought the rule was
rescinded. Several other points of order
were made, and it was finally, by common
consent, agreed that each one should speak
as long as he desired.
Mr. Sims resumed; he insisted that no
nation had ever gained its freedom but
through the direct ufferposition of God, etc.
He opposed every motion to extend the time
so as to allow him to finish his speech. The
hour of adjournment found him standing on
the. floor.
Adjourned to 9 a. m. Monday.

,r From Atlanta-
Special to tbo Augusta Republican.]
Atlanta, August 30, 1868.
In the Senate the special order—the bill
to organize the City Court of Atlanta—was
laid ou the table, in order to take up the bill
organizing the municipal government of
Augusta.
Mr. Conley offered a bill, as a substitute
for the House bill, which allows all parties
to vote if they have lost their certificate and
their names are on the Registers It fixes
the term of office for two years.
Mr. Holcombe offered a substitute in lieu
of the original aud Conley’s substitute, which
fixes the time of election in December.
After some remarks by Mr. Hungerford,
all bills on the subject were made the special
order for Wednesday next.
The bill organizing the City Court of
Atlanta passed.
The resolution requesting the Governor to
issue a proclamation disbanding all armed
organizations in the State produced an ex
citing discussion. A-vote to lay on the table
resulted—yeas 14, nays 16. After an expla
nation of the full intent of the resolution, it
passed none dissenting.
In the House, Sims resumed his argument
in the case of the eligibility of colored mem
bers, and read n protest which he insisted
should go ou the Journal.
A resolution that no new matter be intro
duced until the present is disposed of was
defeated by Sims refusing to yield the floor.
Mr. Dorter followed, and said it cost him
fifty dollars to vote for the present Speaker,
whereupon the following resolution was
introduced by Mr. SiSson :
Whereas, James Porter, a person of
color, from Chatham county, occupying a
seat upon this floor, charges that it cost
him fifty dollars to cast a veto fur the pres
ent Speaker of this House, and as such
charges reflects upon the dignity and honor
of this body, and demands an explanation
as to its falsity or truthfulnes. Therefore,
Resolved, That James Porter, the person
of color aforesaid, be required to establish
the serious charge he has made upon this
floor against the presiding officer of this
House, or suffer the odium which attaches
to calumniation.
Mr. Portef signified his willingness to
explain.
Mr. Flournoy arose, and moved to extend
the session in tirder that Mr. Porter might
explain.
Bryant arose to a point of ’order that the
hour of adjournment bad arrived.
Mr. Porter refused to yield the floor for
extension of Hie time, and the House ad
journed till to-morrow, when Mr. Porter has
the flour.
Dispatches have been received here from
New York, urging the Democracy to post
pone the attempt to eject the colored mem
bers till after the Presidential election.
Toombs advises the same course. The
Democracy are wavering, being scared at
the probable effect al the North.

WHEREAS, AT THE APRIL TERM OF
the Superior Court, hold in and fur the
county of Jasper, in said State, A. D. 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 neck until dead,
on the 12tb day of June thereafter; and whereas,
the said convict, heretofore, on the 6th day of
June, A. D. 1868, was respited by his Excellency,
Thus. 11. Huger, Provisional Governor of this
State, until the meeting of the Legislature, that
the General Assembly might take such action in
the case as might seem to them proper; and
whereas, in the meantime, by the adoption of the
present 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 boon, and is now, vested in
the Governor of this State, by the Constitution
there of; and whereas, by a careful examination
’of the testimony taken on said trial, il is doubt
ful whether or not the homicide charged to have
beeu committed by said convict amounted to
murder, or manslaughter merely ; and it appear
ing, also, that a great provocation was given by
the deceased:
Therefore, By the power and authority in mo
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 labor in the Peniten
tiary of this State, for and during his natural
life; and it is hereby ordered that the Principal
Keeper of the said Penitentiary forthwith cause

there, by the presiding Judge of said Court,

“except in eases of impeach moot," has been, and
now is, vested in the Governor of this State;
and Whereas,Ji has been made to appear that a
number of the jurymen who tried, the case have
since declared, that had certs h testimony been

discovered to exist, the verdict would have been
materially changed; and whereas, new evidence
has been discovered since tho said trial and cipn
viotion, which, if it had been produced upon the
