Sample Ink.
We are indebted to Messrs. Plumb &
Leitneb—the well-known druggist, on Broad
street —for a quart-bottle (as a ‘sample') of
Plumb’s Superior Black Ink. by
Plumb & Lkitnkr, 212 Broua street, Au

This ink is a first-rafo article, like every
thing-coming from the hands of Dr. Plumb.
Ca*ed.
The notorious Amos Edwards, colored, was
up before Recorder Philpot, yesterday. The
evidence showed that on Tuesday iiigut
Edwards attempted to correct his wife at
church, which kicked up a rumpus, aroused
the police, and got Edwards into jail. Uu
this charge he was sentenced to pay a fine
of one hundred dollars —to stand committed
till paid.
Yesterday morning, Edwards was in the
Police headquarters, awaiting his turn, when
his wife came in and asked the Lieutenant
in charge at what time she would be wanted
in Court. Edwards soon becaure entangled
in another difficulty with bis wife, and
slapped and kicked her. This little piece of
fun was investigated, and a similar sen-,
tence —one hundred dollars’ fine —was im
posed.
The City—the Fall Trade,
For the past few days our city has pre
sented evident signs of the fall business
having fairly commenced. We understand
that, the stocks of goods, all kinds, on sale
the present season are much more select and
extensive than for many years past. ‘ Com
merce is King,’ now-a-days, and our popula
tion are striving in every way to deservedly
secure their portion of its benefits.
We would call the attention of country
merchants to the advantages which Augusta
presents to them in ’the selection of their
stocks of every description ; satisfied that
any article of merchandise required can be
obtained in this market on as reasonable
terms as in the Atlantic cities or Northern
ports, freights added. We trust that our
wholesale dealers may be sustained in their
efforts to establish a permanent market in
Augusta, supplying the home demand and
creating a stable and prosperous condition
of trade.
♦♦♦—
Head Os.
* Ah, my good fellow,’ said one man to
another, slapping him familiarly on the
the shoulder, * you’re one of the men wo
read of.’ ‘ How so ?’ inquired the other—
* Where did you read of me ?’ *ln the
police reports.’
‘ The man we read of’ drew his. fist, but
the other was at a safe distance.
Direct Trude.
Everything tends auspiciously in this di
rection. Public enterprise is fully awakened
to its advantages throughout the Southern
Atlantic section of the Union.
There are measures that work together in
happy correspondence—that operate in the
same line of improvement. What are rail
ways without steam navigation to perfect
foreign commerce? What, in this view, is
rapidity of transportation on land, without
commensurate rapidity and regularity of
transit on sea ? What is the value of that
intercourse which connects Charleston with
the Valley of the Mississippi, it she is not
commercially connected with those markets
of foreign supply which directly afford the
equivalent for her exports ? Liverpool and
Charleston have the same natural affinities
which bring Charleston into connection with
Nashville and the towns in the interior.
Steam navigation, railways, and all the
other appliances of direct trade, will no
fully extend their advantages, unless the
great body of the merchants in the interior
enter into the schme with the heartiness, the
zeal, the public spirit that characterize those
who venture their capital, expend their en
ergy, and perfect their arrangements, in the
hope of building up on sure and bread foun
dations the fabric of Free Trade.
Our suite tuatltuUons.
The present indications for the future
prosperity and usefulness of all Our State
institutions of learning, are far more
favorable than has ever heretofore •been the
case. Their claims ‘ upon the peopli of
Georgia for a generous support are be
coming yearly more and more manifest,
and we trust that the advantages which
they so evidently afford for the obtainment
of a course of thorough and liberal learning
may be generally appreciated by our
citizens.
The professorships in the several colleges
in our State are filled, as is well known, by
trustworthy and accomplished instructors,
identified with us in interest and feeling.
The course of instruction in these institu
tions is as complete, extensive and thorough
as enjoyed anywhere in the country. The
late examinations and commencements
afforded most gratifying proof of a high
degree of capability in the professors and of
proficiency in the students. Thoroughness
and accuracy in the student are the serest
signs of capacity and industry in the
teacher.
It is dearly our policy to build up our
home institutions of every deeoriptiou—io
patronize our State colleges, academies and
female seminaries- By them, we are
known and respected abiwad. By them,
our State is to acquire its reputation for
intelligence, refinement and enterprise.
Home Cotton fflatmlnemrea.
It is a gr#ti(jjng fact thqt among qlltbo
southStates, Georgia 'oaqijost in
the nnmbcrwfwotton
lisbmcnts. Capitalists hero have every
thing to encourage them to undertake the
erection of cotton mills. The successfitl*
operation of those already jeftablishcd, »'A
the profits arising from this source, a’.c no
longer matters of doubt. The effect they
have upon the general prosperity of the
section in which they arc erected, is folt in
the unusual stimulus they gjvo to homo
entei-priiAs of evtf/dtkajripliop. Agricul
tural products arc in greater demand, and
every species of labor is required at in
creased rates. The price of cotton, too, iu
time will bo increased, both Ontceount of
the quantity consumed at homo and the
force taken from the cotton-fields to be
employed in its manufacture. And above
all, the South will be made independent of.
the looms and skill of distant sections.
The impetus which the cotton manufac*
torios in this vicinity, have given to every
species of industry, is abundantly evident
.to all who hatk mhvd the, groMtth
general prosperity of Augusta. A few
more such establishments would do more to
foster home enterprise and independence
than any other means within our reach.
The mills already erected arc found to be
profitable investments. The fabrics manu
factured find a ready sale all over the South*
Everything is fißcou raging to in-
vestments in Stith’ establishments. There
is no reason why we should send the raw
material to the North and England and
then purchase it back in manufactured
form, paying all the expenses of freight
commissions, cost of manufacturing, profits,
etc- Cotton should be, and can be, most
profitably manufactured on the spot where
it is grown.
To Keep liags from spoiUum
Eat them while they are fresh. Wo have
tried all kinds of methods, but this wO think
is the only one to be relied on, ‘in uny
climate? . ...

SENATE.
The Senate resumed the unfinished busi
ness, which was tlio motion to reconsider
the hill to amend the usury laws of this
State.
Mr, Iloloombe, having the floor, in
cluded his argument. ,
| Your reporter found the Senator fully
conversant with the doctrines found in the
New Testament, as he read from the
parable of the Lord, who travelled into rt far
country and distributed his money among
his servants, using the same as an illustra
tion against the passage of the bill. |
Mr. Wooten—Will the gentleman please
read the othtjr versos following the quota
tion ?
Mr. ll,—Here is the book, sir ; it is a
small one, and you are better üble to see
lima I am. Read it yourself.
Mr. Winn—l also would like to hear the
passage following read.
Mr. IL—Read it yourself; ami I would
remark, that if the Senator from the 35th
had studied this little book more, he never
would have been here advocating this
W*’
Mr. Adkins followed, in favor of the bill,
and was in favor of the reconsideration, and
called for the previous question, which was
sustained. The main question was on the
reconsideration, whereupon the yeas and
nays were required, and are: yens 21J, nays
15. So the motion prevailed.
Mr. Candler spoke in favor of the bill, and
called for the previous question.
Mr. Merrell offered an amendment pro
viding that the rate per cent, shall not exceed
12 ", per cent, per annum—and offered re
marks in support of the same at length:
Mr, Candler rogc in opposition, statiqg
that he eouM not vote for any amendment
which would detract from the merits of the
bill; besides, the most dangerous legislators
are those who consult only their immediate
constituents, instead of working for the
whole good.
Mr. Hinton followed, in opposition to the
bill.
Mr. Bmith, of the 7th, offered uu amend
ment' that the rate should not exceed ten
per cent. ,
Mr. Speer called fiir the previous question,
which was sustained.
The amendment of Mr. Smith was lost.
The amendment of Mr. Merrell was lost.
On the passage of the bill the yeas and
nays were required, and are : yeas, 18 ;
nays, 17.
So the bill was passed, and ordered*trans
mitted forthwith to the House.
A resolution to consolidate the tax to bo
returned to the Treasury to pay members
ofAhe Convention with the funds already
in the Treasury, in order to pay off those
who have not received it, was introduced
by Mr. Harris. The same was taken up.
Mr. Winn opposed the adoption of the
resolution on the ground that the faith- of
the State was pledged that the Convention
tax should be set aside for that particular
purpose, and he was opposed to any action
here for the purpose contemplated in the
resolution!
Mr. Brock rose in reply. He was in favor
that in tire, e-vent tliat the funds were not
collected to pay over to the members, he
was m favor of voting now to appropriate
any money iuthe Treasury to pay fliem off.
Mr. Nunnally opposed the resolution in its
shape; There was about $25,000 of this
scrip now in the bands of the Treasurer, and
if you pay them out of funds already in his
hands, you may deprive others of just as
good a claim. Hewasin favor ol paying
them oft according to the provisions ol the
tax MB for that purpose. This is. however,
an appropriation, and can not originate in
the Senate, hence can not be entertained.
The resolution was passed—yeas 17, nays
10.
The Senate took up lhe bill to require the
Reporter ol the Supreme Court to publish
decisions iu pamphlet form, and passed the
same.
Pending the same, the Senate adjourned
until 9 o’clock to morrow.

Mr, Price moved to rec'ousider the action
of the House yesterday, making the bill to
grant aid to tbe Air-Line Railroad the
special order for Monday next. Motion pre
vailed, and bill made special order for Tues
day next.
Mr. Shumate moved to susaenA lhe rules
that he might introduce the following;
Resolved, That henceforward the following
regulations shall govern in the discussion of
the pending issue : Ist, Colored men shall be
entitled /o ou« hour iu their defence. 2d,
All members of the House who shall partici
pate in the discussion shall be limited to
twenty-five minutes.
Mr. Porter refused to yield lhe floor.
Porter proceeded to explain his remark
of yostcraay “ that it cost him fSO to vote
for the Speaker elect.” He said that he
was in New York when he heard of the day
for the Assembling of the Legislature. He
hud a free ticket to come home, but in
order to be here on the 4th of July, he had
to purchase a ticket by another route, and
pay board and express charges on his
trunk, etc.
After ftn hour’s speech. Mr. porter took
his seat, when Mr. Shumate agaih moved
to suspend the rules, inorder that he might
introduce Iris resolution limiting debate.
The rules were suspended and the resolu
tion adopted.
Mr. Parks introduced the following:
Whereas, The editor of the Neto Era
has declared that the Democratic members
of this House have no grit; whereas, the
laws of Georgia prohibit the carrying of
concealed weapons, and make the same an
offense against law and order; and whereas,
the manner in which the Hon. J. E. Bryant,
a member on this floor from the county of
Richmond, exposes his concealed weapons
to members upon the Democratic side of
the House, is calculated to intimidate said
members, and make them afraid in the
discharge of their duties as representatives
of the people. Therefore be it
Resolved, That the Hon. J. E. Bryant, if
he shall insist upon carrying weapons, in
violation *of the law', be requested not to
bring them upon this floor with him, to the
intimidation of members thereof, or if he
docs so be be requested to more effectually
conceal said weapons.
Not taken up.
Mr. Harrison, (colored), of Hancock, took
the floor.
After protracted speeches by Harrison, of
Hancock, and Clower, of Monroe, the House
adjourned.
Refutation of Slashers.—Gen. Meade
has been greatly annoyed by the stories set
afloat byrebels, and reported by such speak
ers as Doolittle and Ewing ou tbe stump,

case, the arrest, the treatment, and all facts
connected with the condition of lhe prisoners

taiy. This record he has submitted to the
authorities here, and asked permission to

AUGUSTA MUNICIPAL BILL.
Reports of Committees on Relief.
BIIGHBH.ITY NOT YBT SETTLED.
Atlanta, September 2.
In the Senate, the resolution consolidat
ing the Copvention tax with other funds in
the Treasury was reconsidered and laid on
the table for the present.
The Committee on Public I’rinting made
two reports. The majority report says that
the Code makes Burke State Printer fur
this called session. The minority report
says Bard is the Printer.
A resolution was adopted praying Con
gress to grant an appropriation to remove
obstructions from the Tennessee river.
The Committee on Public Buildings
recommends that it is inexpedient to make
disposition of the public buildings at Mil
ledgeville, as there is a bill pending to
remove the Capital to that place.
The bill granting a divorce to Margaret
Crew was lost by a large majority, it being
unconstitutional.
The special order was taken up—it being
the House bill ordering a municipal election
at Augqsta— two substitutes being proposed
in the Senate.
The discussion was lengthy.
Mr. Conley urged an immediate election,
as the legality of the present incumbents is
doubted. The taxes are unpaid, the city gov
ernment blocked, and desire au election.
Tli<! Senate adjourned, ixjudiug the dis
cussion, Mr. Nunnally having tbe floor, in
opposition to Mr. Conley’s substitute.
In lhe House, a resolution was adopted to
hold two sessions daily.
Mr. U’Ncal of Lowndes, arose to a per
sonal explanation, and characterized the
case of Hall of Glynn, ms unparliamentary
and the statements untrue. He said the
standing of the editor of the Constitution
was such in his sebtion that his slanders are
recommendations.
Mr. Ilall said, in defence, that Mr.
O’Neal wus a falsifier; that he did make
the to him, and
dared O’Neal to mpet him at any time and
place he chose.
The Committee on Relief made a ma
jority and minority report. The minority
oppose the stay laws as deceptive; they
afford no real relief, and leave the debtor in
a worse condition than it found him.
Judicial decision declares it unconstitu
tional ; the Homestead law is sufficiently
ample on relief. It says the Courts will
decide the same retro-active. It interferes
with private contracts ; debtor and creditor
should settle by compromise. It concludes by
recuaiineiiding that no action lie taken by tbe
Legislature, hut simply pn-s a resolution
requesting creditors and debtors to settle
claims in a spirit of compromise.
Mr. Cahlwell spoke for Warren, of Burke,
on the eligibility of colored tnembors.
The Senate resolutions-questing the Gov
ernor to issue a proclamation prohibiting
utilawftilXsscuibluges, was agreed to.

Immense Ovation to General Grant
15.000 People do Him Honor—He
Makes Two Brief Speeches

as was never accorded to any other man in
Chicago. Full 5,0f)0 Tanners were iu pro
cession, and marcheff to the residence of
General Grant’s brother, 923 Wabash avenue.
When the Tanners reached that point, they
found an immense crowd of people, fully
one-half of whom were ladies, all intent
upon honoring the great chieftain. It is uafe
.to say that the entire number reached fifteen
thousand. The avenue in the vicinity was
brilliantly illuminated with colored ligblf.
After music by the Light Guard Baud,
General Grunt ma le his appearance on lhe
balcony and addressed lhe crowd in a few'
words. He said :
Ladies and Gentlemen— l thank you for
this spGi.Urieuus compliment As yon well
know, Ido not make speeches, and I can
hardly find language, in the presence of this
immense assemblage, even to express my
thanks. You must simply, upon tliik occa
sion, allow me to return, from the bottom of
my heart, my sincere thanks for this kind
call.
The applause that followed this little
talk swelled up like the mightiert waves of
the ocean.
Hon. J. V. 8. Cannon followed with a
capital speech of 10 or 15 minutes.
Nino cheers were then given for General
Grant. He was again called out for
another speech. He said: “I thanked
you once for your kindness ; adl I can now
do is to thank you tor this unexpected
greeting, for this magnificent turn out, I
feel that I should like to meet each of you
and shake hands with all of you, but that’s
impossible. So I can but repeat that I
sincerely thank you.”
Hon. N, B. Judd then made a brief and
eloquent speech.
One of tbe young branches of the Grant
family—the son of bis father—was dis
covered by them on the piazza, and was
cheered heartily for full sixty seconds.
After a speech from John C. Dove, Esq.,
the crowd dispersed.
