The Telejraphio Monopoly—An
other Effort to Crush Oat the
Daily Press;
As it is possible that some of our
readers may not have understood the
explanation which we published a few
days ago, relative to the efforts of the
Chronicle k S ntinel and Constilulion
alitt to crash out the Daily I’jksa. we
here republish the correspondence be
tween Mr. Walsh, the Agent in this
City, of the Associated Press, and ourself.
When we commenced the publication of
Os Daily I’hkm, aa * sulKtcriptiu*
piper, in October last, the two journals
referred to, protested against our re
ceiving the disp.itchcs of the Associated
Press, uulil we paid them SSOO respec
tively, ss a bonus, of gif., to them lor
the privilege of getting the telegraphic
news, just as if an individual, who kept
a retail grocery, was required to pay a
bonus to his two rival merchants in the
same town for the privilege of purchas
ing his goods from the wholesale denier
who supplied them. This is the point
which we wish distinctly understood.
The City papers referred to have never
been required to pay this bonus for
entrance into the rights and privileges
of the Associated Press ; and, therefore,
could have no good reason for claiming
it from us. If they had, we should
cheerfully have paid it and said nothing
more about it. But they have no reason
farther than that the General Agent of
the Associated Press decided in their
favor and against us—the reason that
‘•might is right.” And not satisfied with
the decision, they brought into the con
troversy statements and charge against
u# which had no connection whatever
with the question at issue. These we
met, answered, and fully refuted.
Soon after this controversy, Mr. D.
11. Craig, who had been the General
Agent of the New Y'grk Associated
Press, seceded from that institution and
es'aMished another Association, to the
benefits of which wc were admitted.
This Association flourished for a few
weeks, and enabled us to place our pa
per on terms of equality, so far ns the
telegraphic news was concerned,
with the other papers ; but, un
fortunately for ns, Mr. Crsig's Asso
ciation failed for some cause or otLer,
and lett us at the mercy of the monopo
lists in this city, to whom-Mr. Simonton,
the General Agent of the New York
Associated Press, remitted us. In the
meanwhile we were given to understand
that Mr. Craig had effected such ar
rangements in Iris compromise with the
New York Associated Press as would
secure us from the imposition of any
conditions on the part of our opponents.
But it seems that we were mistaken, lor
our City cotemporaries hastened at once
to renew the conditions which they had
imposed when we first applied for the
Association’s news, that is to sav one
thousand dollars to be paid to Henry
Moore, of the Chronicle and Sentinel,
and John L. Stockton li Cos., of the
Constitutionalist —five hundred dollars
to each of these parties, not to the As
sociatcd Press! and one third of the
tolls paid by them during the continu
ance of Mr. Craig’s Association, be
sides giving security lor the payment of
our pro rata share of the expenses of
the telegraphic news for six months I If
this is not a genuine effort to break
down the Daily Pkess we > o not know
what is. But this effort, like all of its
predecessors, will fail.
The good people of Augusta have
stood by us in the past, and we know
that they will continue to do so in the
future. Hence, we fear no combina
tions, however powerful, that shall be
brought against us. Hence, our efforts
to give the community a cheap and
valuable dai y paper, and a cheap and
valuable medium o advertising. We
are determined to sustain the Daily
Pbkss at any and all costs, and not
oyly this, hut to make it worthy of the
confidence which has been leposed in
it. and the generous patronage which
has been bestowed i pon it. For tins
reason, hard as the terms of our cotetn
poraries were, we aecep'ed them, that
our readers might be placed on an
equality with their’s, and that those of
moderate means could obtain the news
daily at a comparatively trifling cost.
We confidently believe that the liberal
encouragement which we have hereto
fore received will be continued, aud
largely increased in the future.
Hero we append the c u-respondence
on ihe subject netween Mr. Walsh, of
this City, and ourself, to which we have
already referrel, aud also Mr. Walsh’s
receipt for the amount paid over by ua,
to him, all of which, with the explana
tion, which we have given above, will,
we believe, place the entire subject in
its proper light before the public :

The following is the receipt given us
by Mr. Walsh for the amount paid by
us la accordance with the requirements
of the two papers named therein:
Augusta, Ga., Jan. lfi, 1867.
Received of E. if. Pugho, Esq., Pruprin
tor of the Daily Prkss newspaper, eleven
• hundred and nineteen dollars and five cents
(sl,l 19.05), being amount required by tho
Local Association from him lor .permission
to receive telegraphic reports— sl,9o,l to he
divided between the Chronicle and Sentinel
and Constitntiiaialist, and one hundred and
nineteeu dollars and five cents (sll9 05) on
secant of New York Associated Press.
This is in accordance with instructions of
tho 15th instant.
PATRICK WALSH,
Agent New York Associated Press.
We have been also informed that one
of the parties to this action has stated
that we had a contract with Mr. Craig
which gave us a monopoly of his news,
and which, if that gentleman had suc
ceeded in breaking down the Associated
Press, would have given us the power
to deprive the two papers referred to
above, of the telegruphic nows for the
year.
This is, most certainly, untrue, in
proof of which we here submit the only
contract we had with the Craig Associ
ation. It was made with the Agent in
this City of that Association. We learn,
also, that the combination proposed,
before we received Mr. Craig’s dispatch
es, to take the dispatches of both A>so
ciations, if they could get a monopoly of
them ; thus, the Constitutionalist was
to take Mr. Craig’s dispatches, and the
Chronicle <£• Sentinel those of the Asso
ciated Press. But they failed, in this
also. We did not, however, avail our
self of any opportunity to keep them
out of the telegraphic news, in case their
Association failed, as our contract will
clearly show. It simply secured to us
the news upon certain conditions, and
left them free to coma in when they
desired to do so. Here it is
Augusta, Ga., Dec. 1, 1866.
The United Mate? and European News
Association hereby egreos to turnish tho
D vily I’bess, a newspaper published in

telegraphic reports of commercial and gen
eral news, as full and complete in all re
spects as thoso furnished by the Associated
Press, for which the said E. 11. Pughc
agrees to pay tho sum of twenty-five dollars
per week; and no extra charges shall bo
made in any instance for any excess of
words, without previous notice to the said
Pughe, and with his consout. This con

HqN. J. P, MaolTiik.—This distin
guished Irishman, a member of the
British Parliament, and editor of the
Cork Examiner, is on a tour through
th; South, and reached Augusta on
Friday night. His manly defense of
the South in their late disastrous strug
gle has evoked sentiments of grateful
consideration from our people, and he
has been received with marked cor
dhilitr. In Montgomery lie was wel
comed to a seat in the hall of the House
of Representatives, and made a brief
address from the speaker's stand. At
night an ovation was tendered him at
one of the hotels, at which Gov. Patton,
Kx-Gov. Watts, and Senator Parsons
were present, with, a large number of
citizens ; among them were many Irish
men, and men of Celtic descent. Mr.
Maguire, in response t> a toast, de
livered an address full of eloquence and
true philosophy—applicable to all por
tions of the South, and we regret that
our limited space forbids its reproduc
tion. He urged the importance of
diversifying our pursuits, and mentioned
tiiat the weakness of the South, as well
as of Ireland, consisted in their being
too exclusively devoted to agriculture.
He paid a high compliment to the valor
of the Southern, as well as Northern
people, which is now a common heritage
tor “the foremost military power on
earth.”

Lecture ox the Acts of the
Apostles.—Rev. J. S. Lamar will de
liver the second of a series of lectures
on the above interesting theme, at the
Christian Chapel to-day. Mr. Lamar is
a pleasing speaker, and will render
these lectures deeply interesting and
instructive.
Remember the Poor. The cold
weather of the last few days have brought
distress nnd suffering to many a hearth
stone. Let those who sit by their cosy
fires, and say grace over bounteous
boards, remember, that within the sight
of the smoke that ascends Iroin their
happy hearths, there are families pinch
ed with hunger, and shivering with the
cold.
A Cool Defence. —A freedman was
hauled up the other day lor stealing
boards from the fence of one of our
citizens, and burning them. He ad
mitted the charge, and offered as nu
excuse that “ de welder was being cold,
and de fence was so handy he cou'dn’t
help takin ’em.”, His defence, though
very candid, did not atone tor the of
fence, and he was sent up.
Theatre—Fourth Week. —The un
precedented success of Mr. and Mrs.
Watkins, who for three weeks have
been greeted nightly with crowded
houses, has induced them to remain
another week. They will appear to
morrow night in the great drama of
“Griffith Gaunt,” founded on Reade’s
great novel, which has been read with
intense interest in Europe and Amer
ica.
A Mammoth Stove. —Messrs. Jones,
Smyth & Cos., have just furnished a
cooking stove for the Richmond county
jail, which is decidedly a mammoth in
its way. It is from Rnthbiirne <fc
Co.’s celebrated manufactory, and is
properly called ihe “ Leviathan.” Tile
oven is three by four feel in size, and
there are lids lor eight vessels. The
growing family of Mr. Bridges rendered
this Immense cooking arrangement ne
cessary. It is, we believe, the largest
stove ever sold in this market.

well deserved compliment to one of our
excellent City Fathers, W. A. Ramsey,
Esq. :
The advertisement of the above firm,

is an Elbert county man, and we guar
antee that he will do the right thing by
those who deal with his lirm, ami
fur.her, that those who do, so for
Iroin regretting the act, will assured
ly call am,iu. If honesty, fair deal
ing, a willingness to live mid let live,
ami a mai'iianimous devotion to the
interests of their customers (which
they know to be eminently promo
tive of their own) be any recommen
dation, these gentlemen are certainly
entitled to the benefit o( it. Merchants

customers’ interests by calling upon \V.

‘ Fancy Bazaar, 253, Broad street.
All Smoke. —The philosopher who
presides over the local column of the
Charleston Mercury , indulges in a grace
ful defence of the prevailing habit of
smoking. Everybody, he says, knows
tp what the fumes of tobacco were com
pared by his High and Mighty Maje.-ty,
King James I.; but, notwithstanding
blast and counter blast, sertuon n’d
protest, the use ot tobacco steadily in
crease* and grows in popularity,
bacco is, perhaps, more universs.r
made use of than any other known sub
stance, with the exception of salt; and
the evils that excessive indulgence is i (
produces are no argument against iis
tnoderite consumption. In favor tof
chewing not a word can he said, iju:
against smoking it is difficult tofiiU *iy
reasonable plea.
Many u man will remember the do
ries of a pipe during the war. Mao/ a
time has it taken the place of dinner,
supper, and breakfast. It assuaged f'ue
pain of defeat, and was the fit voiive
offering in victory. Who will forget be
pleasure, after a long march or b;; and
tigh - , of gathering around a In , e
blazing fire (made, perhaps, of wk e
oak fence-rails, which “would get in
way,”) and there discussing, pipe >■
mouth, the events and circumstances
the time. Tobacco, to the smoker, is
always in place and always welcome. It
never disappoints or deceives; it never
tricks or cajoles ; hut, whatever may be
the annoyances of outside life, apply
the match to the fragrant Virginia weed,
and there is consolation for what is
past and quiet eoufideiice in what is yet
to come.
Lovers are proverbially smokers, and,
under the soothing influence, they in
dulge in Elysiau dreams, composing the
while sweet rhymes of “love” and dove,”
“true” and “blue,” which are to move
the fair one’s heart, or elaborating those
pretty speeches which* are never deliv
ered when the decisive moment comes.
Anger, fury, and hate are impossible
while the mild wreayies are circling
around the smoker's brow.
Smoking is adapted to all ages and
all conditions. The youth, full of the
fire of hope and inexperience, then be
lieves in a future of happiness and
fame ; has confidence in women and in
men. The man of middle ago, more
hardened in the knowledge of the world,
sees amid the smoke-wreathes the lair,
bright face of she who vowed a trust
that was soon betrayed—a promise hut
made to be broken. His heart is solten
ed and subdued as he thinks of what
might have been ; and, without a word
°f reproach, ho pardons all her fau ts j
and breathes an earnest prayer for her
happiness and her content. The man
of declining years, the prime ot whose
life has fled, hears again, in fancy, the
“little footsteps that lightly print the
ground,” heals the prattling voice and
the merry, childish laugh ; sees once
more the clustering curls and the laugh
ing, crimson lips. All the companions
of a lifetime pass before him ; and,
last ol all, she, the companion ot halt a
century, whose every happiness was
bound up in him, as was his in her ;
and who now beckons him on to that
silent hind where true and loving hearts
are parted never more.
For King and Kaiser, peer aud peas
ant, geutlemnn and clown, smoking is
the most certain and unselfish pleasure.
It is useless to rail against it, for as
Bulwer says : “Smoking opens the heart
and ripens the brain. He who smokes
thinks like u sage and acts like a Sa
maritan.” Therefore we recommend to
any of our readers who are partial to
this patron of wisdom and good works,
the soothing “Harmonizer” the exhila
rating “Guerilla Club,” or the fragrailt
“Bird’s Eye,” put up by our excellent
friends Nelson & Mcllwuiue of this City,
