The rain is represented to have been heavier than any heretofore within the memory of the “ oldest inhabitant.’’ - ' ■—~ ♦ • ■“ -’■■■'“ • 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. —. o « 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* J. W.

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. COMMERCIAL AUGUSJ’A MARKETS.

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. • Washington Items. Washington, August 31.—The President delays his visit to Tennessee until the ques tion of lite September session is settled. The President’s health is excellent. McCulloch has ordered changes in the New York Custom House, thus reducing expenses §98,000. Other changes are in contemplation, which will reduce the ex penses of collecting customs §1,009,000. S. F. Gove, member of Congress from Georgia, appea's for a September session of Congress. Georgia letters state that the Legislature' will probably adjourn before deciding the eligibility of n-groes : also, tint movements are on foot to heal tiie dissensions in the Republican ranks. Revenue-to-day §BOO,OOO. In response to the Southern Republicans who appealed personally for arms for the Southern Militia, the President said : "The Federal troops are in a better condition to preserve the peace than a Militia thaw A from one party to make war upon the other.” The debt statement will show an increase. Cablegrams. Paris, August 31.—Austrian papers are discussing the relations between the United States and Russia as indicated by the civilities between Farragut and tbe Russian Ministers at Constantiuoplo. Representa tives of other powers at Constantinople feel slighted. London, August 31.—Accounts of recent events on the Rio Parana have been re ceived ‘ from Paraguay. The Paraguayans claim that the Allies received a severe check in two battles between the 10th and 18th of July. The fortress was subsequently evacuated without the knowledge of the enemy. All the heavy guns were spiked, and arms, amunition, and stores removed. The Government of Chili and Bolivia have offered their Government offices to Lopez as mediators. The Patrie of Paris Inis advices from Paraguay which explain tbal Humaitu was abandoned because General Lopez had com pleted his new defensive line of fortifications on the Tcbieuari. Tbe Paraguayans were confident that tbe allies, though holding tbe river, would not attempt to enter the interior of the country, and they believed that the war would soon be brought to an end by the lassitude of the combined powers. South Carolina Legislature. Coll'.mkia, August 31. Motions were in troduced in the Legislature to-day looking to an adjournment.
