Nwiudliug.a ‘‘Man and Brother.’*
Petek Sistrunk, alias Peter
Sweet and Bristow Wilson (colored),
victimized an old colored man from
the country, yesterday, to the tune of
ten dollars or more, by sleight of hand
aud false representations. For this
they were arraigned before' Justice
<)Lin, who, upon their conviction, en
rolled each of them for twelve months’

Receiver of Tax Returns.
We learn that Judge Samuel Levy,
< >rdinary, yesterday appointed Mat
Sheron, Esq., Receiver of Tax Re
turns for Richmond County, vice
John B. Vaugh an, unable to give the
necessary bond. This appointment,
like that of the Collector made a few
weeks since, will, we feel quite sure,
prove universally acceptable to our
people.
Right Shoulder, Shift.
So said Josiah Miller, Esq., yes
terday, to an old white man from the
country, who had unceremoniously
shouldered one of his bacon shoulders
without paying for it, Mr. Miller
met him as he was retiring with the
meat, and inquired if he had paid for
it, to which the old man responded in
the affirmative. Not satisfied, how
ever, Mr. Miller made inquiries in
the store, and found that such was not
the case. The old man was overhauled
by Mr. Milled, when lie liquidated
for the meat and kept it. He evi
dently has not been well drilled in the
tactics of the shouldering motion, as
laid lUnvn in the eighth commandment.
A Case el Stealing.
Martha McCarthy (colored), was
arraigned before Justice Olin yester
day. morning, charged with having
stolen from the store of Messrs. Jas.
A. Gray <t Co., a piece of dress goods,
of the value of ten dollars. Martha
was duly tried and sentenced to a
service of sixty, days on the chain
gang. The liberal-hearted prosecutor,
after a bearing of the case, asked a
remisssion of the imprisonment to ten
days and the substitution of a fine,
which latter he agreed to pay himself.
The pagt good diameter of Martha
t induced Justice Olin to take off one
month of the original sentence, mak
ing it sixty days, instead of three
months.

o’clock yesterday afternoon:

Robert Clements (colored), for
violation of 18th section.
Beeaister’e taart.
In this Court, yesterday, the follow
ing cases were examined and di«-
]K>sed of:
Tom Howard (colored), fur viola
tion of drumming ordinance. Fined
$lO and costs, or twenty days pn
Cliain Gang.
Edward Carr, Henry Richard
son and William Grafton (colored),
for violation of 18th section. Plead
not guilty. Fined $5 each and costs,
or ten days on Chain Gang.
Alexander Alexander (white), a
merchant, who carries on business in
Bridge Row, was arraigned for viola
tion of same ordinance.
In this case counsel appeared on
both sides—A. D. Picqlet, Esq., for
the city, and F. 11. Miller, Esq., for
defence.
After a hearing of the evidence in
troduced, the counsel for the prosecu
tion opened the case by reading from
the city ordinance regulating the em
ployment of drummers, and citing the
charter of the city in support of the
legality of the tax imposed on mer
chants and others who may employ
drummers or runners.
Counsel for prosecution admitted
that it would be unconstitutional for
the City Council to prohibit drum
ming, but claimed the right to regu
late and tax its exercise, as conducive
to a preservation of peace and good
order.
The counsel for the defence, after a
brief attack upon the evidence elicited,
pronounced the ordinance unconstitu
tional, having been enacted by an
illegal body—the late Military Council
of Augusta.
This drew from the prosecution a
rejoinder to the effect, that if such be
the ease, the Constitution of the (State
must likewise be unconstitutional,
inasmuch as the Convention which
framed it also ratified the appoint
ments made by General Pope.
Another point plead by the defence
was, that if the ordinance had been
enacted by a regularly elected Council,
it was in violation both of State and
United States law —being prohibitory
and excessive taxation.
The arguments of the legal gentle
men who appeared in this case were
brief, and the announcement of the
judgment of the Recorder not less so.
Recorder Crump did not feel called
upon to take into consideration ques
tions of constitutionality as affecting
the ordinance alleged to have been
violated by Mr. Alexander. He was
there to administer the law in the case
on evidence, and imposed a line of
SIOO and costs.
Mr. Miller moved a suspension of
the collection of the line, and announced
an appeal to the Superior Court, which
was readily granted by’ the Recorder.
This case now rests in abeyance, for
the decision of a higher tribunal. In
the meantime, the operation of the
drumming ordinance is not in the least
affected, and for the benefit of the
uninformed, we publish it entire this
morning. It reads:
AN ORDINANCE for the Protection of
the Trade of Augusta; and to Tax Drum
mers and Runners, and those who employ
the same; and for other puqwses:
Sec. 1. He u Oniaufai hu the City Council
of Augusta, anti it in hereby l u t j ie
authority of the Mine, That from and after
the passage of this ordinance, all merchants
who shall have in their employ, w ithin the
corporate limits of said city, any drummer or
runner (or any person whose occupation shall
be to drum up trade), shall pay a tax’of Two
Hundred Dollars per annum for each person
employed by them as aforesaid, and shall
have the names of such employees recorded
with the Clerk of Council, and shall pay said
Clerk a fee of fifty cents for each person so
registered; and for each failure to comply
with this Ordinance, and being duly convict
ed before the Recorder of said city, there
shall be a fine of not less than One, nor more
titan Two Hundred Dollars.
Sec, 2. Anti be it further Crdaincd, That
each and every person who shall be engaged
and employed in running after customers for
any mercantile house, shall first obtain from
the Chief of Police a leather band, which
shall be worn outside around the hat or cap
of such runner at all time (Sunday excepted),
with the name of the wearer, the house
drumming for, and the business conducted
by the same, painted or printed in plain, legi
ble letters, and shall pay therefor the sum of
seventy-five dollars. Said band to be good
for one year only ; and for each and every
violation' of this section there shall be a flue
of not less than fifty nor more than one
hundred dollars.
Sec. 3. Jbwlfte it further Ortlaintd, That
it shall be unlawful for any person mentioneel
in the second section of this Ordinance, to
interfere, in any manner, byway of solicit
ing trade, or preventing the same, within fifty
feet of any store or house carrying on the
same or like business as they are employed in
or for.
Sec. 4. And be it further Ordained, Tliat
all Ordinances and parts of Ordinances mili
tating against this Ordinance be, and the
same are hereby repealed.
Passed on the Ist day of November 1867.
As to the operation of this ordi
nance in respect to the interests of
trade, there seems to be a diversity of
opinion. If it is the purpose of Coun
cil to create a revenue from this busi
ness, the ordinance has evidently over
shot the mark fn its price for the
exercise of the privilege. The mer
chant so electing to employ local
runners or drummers is required to
pay a tax of two hundred dollars, for
each person so employed, and the
runner or drummer is also required
to pay seventy-five dollars for a pre
scribed badge, before he can exereisd
the functions of the business for which
he may have been employed. This
amounts to a practical prohibition of
the exercise of the business, from
which it is proposed to raise revenue.
The profits accruing to merchants and
others who may employ local runners
' > '<l i -
or drum mere «ru not sufficient lo
justify the payment of thin onerous
tax.
Some ouc, pejMp*, who pr«(ci* to
sell his goods, warcti and merchandize
in the good, old-fashioned way of
sitting down in his store and waiting
for customers, will at once exclaim,
“Let them all do as I do.” But all
do not find it to their advantage to sit
•till. They can advance their interest
more successfully by stirring around
and by employing others to help them
stir round.
Judging from the frequent viola
tions of this ordinance recently, it is
fair to infer that local drumming is
becoming a regular occupation, and
will afford employment to numbers
who might otherwise become idlers
or engage in less reputable pursuits.
Taking this view of the matter, we
hope our city fathers will promptly
give their attention to the matter,
and repeal the ordinance, taking out
of the way all serious hindrances to a
a free and legitimate local trade.

As the attention of a’l housewives
involuntarily turns thusward about
this season of the year, wc give them
a recipe for making the same, which a
lady friend has used with the most
perfect success for a number of years:
Take one and a half pounds of fresh
beef, well boiled and chopped fine;
one and a half pounds of apples,
chopped line; three quarters of a
pound of beef suet, chopped finq;
one pound of sugar, one pound of
raisins, seeded and chopped; one
pound of currants, two ounces of
citron, chopped fine; three oranges
and three lemons, chopped fine ■
brandy or cider, and spice to suit the
taste.
Try this, and ask us around to
dinner, and we will tell you whether
you have succeeded or not. Our
judgment is considerable on such
matters, and what is more, we arc
always glad to have an opportunity of
expressing it. •
New Rules for Buns Ball.
The National Association of Base
Ball players, recently assembled at
Washington, adopted the following
rulca regulating games played by the
members of the Association: “Any
player failing to take his regular turn
at the bat, unless prevented by sick
ness or injury, or by permission of the
contesting nine, shall be declared out.
Captains of nines can, by mutual con
sent, consider the games drawn instead
of playing a tenth inning as hereto
fore. The limit of membership in a
club before playing in a match is now
sixty days instead of thirty. In home-
the ball shall be
furnished in the first and thtra
by the challenging club, and in the
second game by the challenged club.”

Murders in Thomas County.—
The Thomasville Enterprise, of last
Wednesday says:
A negro man was brought to jail
here on Wednesday last for murder
ing two negro women near Duncan
ville, in this county, a week before
his arrest. One of the women was
his wife, who he murdered for her un
faithfulness in leaving him for another
man, and the other woman was a wife
to the mau charged with giving
asylum to the murderer’s wife. He
confessed the crime upon his arrest,
and related the horrible details of the
double murder. He said he had for
some time intended to kill his wife,
and sought to shoot her, but finding
her on this occasion with the woman
who had aided and encouraged her to
leave his house, he changed his mind
and struck her with the gun. The
blow felled her to the earth, insensi
ble, and the other woman now fled to
give information; but he ran after
her, and felled her also with the.gun,
and repeated the blows until he was
satisfied she was dead. The infuriated
demon now returned to his still insensi
ble wife, :md with his pocket knife
cut her throat and went his way.
