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 gusta, Ga~ 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? . ... [Communicated. Mr. Editor — “ Constitutional Liberty,” in 1860, was, lhe right to cArry slaves to the Territories, and to call the “ slave roll ' at the foot of Bunker Hill Monument. In 1806, it was abject submission to the loss of every slave at home, in 1868, it is a “white man’s government,” in which Africans and their descendants, even from white fathers, have no rights.

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. HOUSE. 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, concerning the ill-treatment of tbe prisoners on trial for the murder of Ashburn. He has caused a complete official history ot tbe case, the arrest, the treatment, and all facts connected with the condition of lhe prisoners while on trial and hi the hands ol the tnili taiy. This record he has submitted to the authorities here, and asked permission to havq it published. It contains copies ot all reports sent to the President, and lhe in struclioiu ol the latter iu this case, and wholly refutes every charge of unusual'pro ceediags or harsh treatment, or attempts to suborn witnesses.— Cincinnati Gazette. • ' Miss L., of Savannah, has been" appear-, ing at Montvale Springs in a costume ball, as “Fern Lettves,” and Mrs. 0., of Mqrieta, As a “Highland Lassie.” Special to the Augusta Republican.J From Atlanta. 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. Special Di.-patch to the Cincinnati Gazette.] Immense Ovation to General Grant 15.000 People do Him Honor—He Makes Two Brief Speeches Chicago, August 30.—The informal ova tion to General Grant, last night, was such 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. Cablegrams.

Under this indictment W. O. Reding, Blank Agent for the Southern States; G. A. Traver, of the Sixth Auditor’s office; Win. Towers, Chief Clerk of the Superintendent of Public Printing, have been arrested. The prisoners were discharged, on the ground that they could not be tried on an indictment found in Michigan for an offence committed in Wash ington. Judge Wiley, who discharged the prisoners, did not investigate the guilt of the prisoners as charged in the indictment. General Orlando Brown, and a dozen officers of negro troops, acting as Bureau functionaries, have been mustered out; they will continue their functions in the Bureau as. civilians. Revenue to-day $971,000. Minister Webb has advised the State De partment that the complication with the Brazilian Government regarding the deten tion of the Wasp had been adjusted. Commissioner Rollius received a dispatch from New Yurk last night that a warrant had been issued against him. Up to a late hour this afternoon, the warrant had not been served. Rollins telegraphs that he will not appear personally pr by counsel in New York to morrow. Harland, the Deputy Commissioner, also, will ignore tbe warrant for him, should it be served. It is asserted, positively, ilrtit Rollins will not recognize Binckley; that is, he will assign him no duty. Rollins disclaims uny idea of compromise regarding the superiors. The law makes it ui» duty iu iiumihutc uiciii. The excitement in official circles is intense, with an increased bitterness of feeling. j, It is stated, on good authority, that lhe President and McCulloch disavow uny active participation in the New York pro ceedings against the Commissioner and his Deputy, Harland.
