cent murder of young Wilson ; one of them
has confessed the whole affair.
Hunkruptcy.
The creditors of Ker Boyce are notified
to meet in Augusta, on the 18th of this
month. The claims against the estate foot
up $2,526,923.
The Great Question.
■lt is said the great question discussed at
watering-places, this summer, is, whether
it is proper to eat green corn from the cob,
and take chicken bones in tho fingers. It
is certain that those who discuss this great
question at the watering-places pay their
money for the privilege, and might, we
think, take their choice without let.
The New Teachers at the Iloughlon
Institute.
We announced in our issue of Sunday the
names of the successful candidates as Princi
pal and Teachers of this Institute.
Mr. Martin V. Calvin, the Principal is a
native of this city. He took charge of the
Augusta Free School October, 1866, with
twenty-four boys, which number before the
end of the quarter was increased to upward
of one hundred.
Since then the number of boys enrolled
during the Spring term was as high as one
hundred and eighty; Fall term, one hundred
and ninety. Average daily attendance,
generally about ninety-seven.
Mas. Calvin is a Charlestonian; went
through the excellent graded schools of that
city from Primary to Normal, in which
latter school she was preparing for position
of teacher, and was on the point of gradua
tion, when on account of the bombardment
of Charleston, she refugeed to this city. Her
reputation is that she “was always diligent
and efficient in her classes.” Iler vocation
will be to teach.
Miss Parmelee is assistant to the Princi
pal. She has been engaged in teaching for
some years, and is as cfficient as she is un
pretending.
Miss Mollie Coffin, daughter of our
lamented fellow-citizen, Mr. J. G. Coffin,
assists Mrs. Calvin. Miss Coffin has a
fine reputation as a wide awake, progressive
teacher.
Exercises of the Houghton Institute will
begin on the first Monday, sth of October
proximo-
Masonic Convention-
We note that a Masonic Congress, em
bracing representatives of the Craft from all
parts of the world, has been convoked for
the 18lh of September next, at Havre.
There are five questions set down for dis
cussion at this meeting : 1. Masonry at the
present time: Does it maintain itself on a
level with social and humanitarian pro
gress ? 2. On the influence of Jfasoury oh
the general progress of sentimenta, ideas
and manners. How this influence should
be exercised at present. 3. The fundamen
tal principles of Masonry being universal,
what measures should be taken in order
that regular Masons may make themselves
known as such in the workshops, with all
the rites and all the* obediences? 4. How
can Free Masons react on our epoch against
the idea of war, which is the negative of
human fraternity? 5. In what measure and
in whftt mnuncr is it proper to practice pros
elytism against the profane?
Autumnal.
According to the Almanac, we have ended
our summer and have entered upon autumn.
But the seasons, we all know, do not conform
to arbitrary divisions, and it will be many
weeks yet before we shall bid a final good
bye to hot weather. Still, with the shorten,
ing days come cooler nights, and even early
morning and late afternoon begin to have a
slight flavor of autumnal freshness. In a few
days, too, we shall hear of frosts upon the
mountains, and of firea being needed at the
northernmost watering-places; and these
symptoms of the end of summer will send
home in troops tho absentees from the city.
Our streets will fill up, business will revive,
and the game of politics be played with in.
creased zeal and assiduity. By the first of
October the summer and its pains and plea
sures wijl be forgotten, and everybody will
be making plans for winter. So we go ; the
wheel of time rolls on, and we roll with it—
looking always forward, and but rarely back
ward.
Bm»ky Chimneys Cured.
It is said that smoky chimneys may be
cured by using a fine wire gauze from thirty
to. forty threads to the inch as a screen,
Placed before the grate, range or stove.
With a downward current the smoke wi.l be
prevented from passing back through the
meshes of the gauze, while the proper up
ward draft will not be interfered with.

THE SULPHUR SPRINGS MANI
FESTO.
White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., |
August 26, 1868. j
GiNEttAi.• I have had the honor to re
ceive your letter of this date, and, in accord
ance with your suggestion, I have consulted
with a number of gontteiueti from the South,
iu whose judgment I have confided, and who
are well acquainted with the public senti
ments of their respective States. They have
kindly consented to unite with me in reply
ing to your communication, and their names
will bo found with my own appended to this
answer. With this explanation, we proceed
to give you a candid statement of what we
believe to be tho sentiment of the Southern
people in regard to the subject to which you
refer.
Whatever opinion may have prevailed in
the past in regard to African slavery, or tho
right of a Stale to secede from tho Union,
we believe we express the almost unanimous
judgment of the Southern people when we
declare that they consider that those ques
tions were decided by tho war, and that it is
their intention, in good faith, to abide by
that decision. At the close of the war the
Southern people laid down their anus and
'Sought to resume their former relations with
the United States Government.
Through their State eonvontious they
abolished slavery find annulled their ordi
nances of secession, and they returned to
their peaceful pursuits with a sincere pur
pose to fulfil their duties under the Consti
tution of the United States which they had
sworn to support. If their action in these
particulars had been met in a spirit of
frankness and cordiality, we believe that
ere this, old irritations passed away, and
the wounds lacerated by the war would in
a great measure have been healed. As far
as we are advised, the people of the South
entertain no unfriendly feeling toward tho
Government of the United States, but they
complain that their rights under the Con
stitution arc withheld from them in the ad
mi nistrntion thereof.
The idea that the So uthern people arc
hostile to the negroes, and would oppress
them if it were in their power to do so, is
entirely unfounded. They have grown up
in our midst, and we have been accustomed
from our childhood to look upon them with
kindness. The change in the relations of
the two races has wrought no change in
our feeling towards them. They still con
stitute the important part of our laboring
population. Without their labor the lands
of the South would be comparatively un
productive. Without the employment which
Southern agriculture affords they would be
destitute of the means of subsistence, and
become paupers, dependent upon public
bounty.
Sell-interest, even if there were no higher
motives, would therefore prompt the whites
of the South to extend to the negroes cure
and protection. The important fact that the
two races are, undec existing circumstances,
necessary to each other, is gradually be
coming apparent to both ; and we believe,
but for influences exerted to stir up the pas.
sious of tbe negroes, the relations of the two
races would soon adjust themselves on a basis
of kindness’and advantage.
It is true that the people of the South, to
gether with the people of the North uud
West, are, for obvious reasons, opposed to
any system of laws which would place the
political power of the country in the hands
of the negro race. But the opposition springs
from no feeling Os enmity-, but from a deep
seated conviction that at present the negroes
have neither the intelligence nor the qualifi
cations which are necessary to make them
safe depositaries ol political power. They
would inevitably become the victims of dem
agogues, who, for wseltish purposes, would
mislead them, to the serious injury of the
public.
The great want of the South is peace.
The people earnestly desire tranquility and
the restoration of the Union. 'They depre
cate disorder aud excitement us the most
serious obstacle to their prosperity.
They ask a restoration of their rights
under tho Constitution. They desire relief
from oppressive misrule. Above all, they
would appeal to their countrymen for the
reestablishment in the Southern States of ,
that which has justly been regarded as the
birthright of every American—the right of
self-government. Establish these on a firm
basis, aud we can safely promise on behalf
of the Southern people that they will
faithfully obey the Constitution and laws of
the United States, treat the negro with
kindness and humanity, aud fulfil every
duty incumbent on peaceful citizens loyal
to the Constitution of their duty.
We belfcve the above contains a succinct
reply to the general topics embraced in
your letter, and we venture to say, on
behalf of the Southern people and the
officers and soldiers of the late Confederate
army, that they will concur in all the senti
ments which we have expressed.
Appreciating the. patriotic motives which
have prompted your letter, and reciprocating
your expressions of kind regard, we have
the honor to bo,
Very respectfully and truly,

Base Ball.
The worst feature about the Base Ball
amusement is the immense amount ot bet
ting it has given rise to. The giihiblers, ever
ready to profit by any game of uncertainty,
have taken the matter in hand, and, as a
result, the match has to a great extent de
generated into a mere, game of profit and
loss. The fact that the gamblers have so
deeply interested themselves in the result,
should not, however, prejudice the public
against the manly national game. The most
prominent members of our clubs are, we
have good reason to know, very much op
posed to the spirit of gambling, and have
done all in their power to put it down.

was hurt' seriously.
Alpeona, the Defunct Senator.
Savannah, Sept. 7.—A. A. Bradley, col
ored, lately expelled from the Georgia,Sen
ate, held a Republican meeting this evening.
He said that Clilt and other carpet-baggers
aud-Yankees were not to be trusted ; advised
the negro-s not to trust the white people,
and especially Yankees, who were the mean
est people on earth ; doubted if even mu
lattoes could be trusted, as the white blood
in their veins might gain the mastery ; said
that the recent action of the Georgia Legis
lature in turning out the negroes would
increase the majority for Grant ; he at first
thought that the negro members would draw
their revolvers and assert their rights in
blood, which would have beuefitted the Dem
ocrats, but was glad they, had done other
wise. He thought that the coming election,
whatever way it went, would cause blood
shed.
The whole speech was of a rambling and
contradictory character, many hearers being
doubtful whi’ h side was supported. About
five hundred parsons were present, and the
meeting passed off' quietly.
[Bradley is evidently in the pay of the
Democracy.—Eo.)

Passports issued by the Mayor of New
Orleans, and vised by the Consul there, and
certificates, which persons calling themselves
passport agents issue, stating that a pass

of State and vised by the Spanish Consul,

parties say there will be no session.

Negro Killed.
Wilmington, N. C., Sept. 6.—On Satur
day night last, at Clinton, Sampson county,
a itegTO man, formerly a member of the
Loyal League, but who recently abandoned
that organization and joined the colored
Democratic club, was called out of the door
of hie bouse and shot through the heart.
The matter has created a great deal of feel
ing among the white* generally, and they
think the Republican party are determined
to bring on a collision. Heretofore there
has. been no Ku-Klux Klan or other secret
Democratic orgauizatiofi in this State, but
now it is understood and believed that ener
getic efforts will be made to organize some
secret order as a matter of self-defence.
There can be no doubt of one thing, that a
great majority of the people here long after
peace. It’s all they ask, all they waul; but
the coolest and most liberal minds here
seem to arrive at the conclusion,that the im
mediate future is fraught with the most mo
mentous issues.
It is the sentiment of practical thinking
bleu here that prominent Northern men,
with conservative views like Millard Fill
more, should come South and uddross the
people. Everybody favors peace, but the
whole thing lacks a definite shape.

London, September 7.—Murphy, the anti-
