Richmond County Superior Court.
—ln this Court, yesterday, there was
nothing of special interest done.
Thad. Stevens says that while he
lives the South will catch h—ll. When
he dies, h —ll will catch him.
An Ice Boat. —The Baltimore papers
talk about an ice boat in their harbor.
We have more nice boats in our harbor
than there is business for them to do.
Personae. —We had the pleasure,
yesterday of meeting with our old friend
Ex-Governor Brown, who visits our city
on business.
Boots and SnoEs. —M. Cohen’s is
the place to buy anything in the hoot or
shoe line, from a dancing pump to a
brogan. Their goods are made to order)
and are of the best quality.
Fkeedmen’s Bureau. —The office of
the Freediueu’s Bureau in this City lias
been removed Irom Ellis street to the
old City Hotel Building, on Broad
street, below Washington.
Dead Duck Forney is Secretary’ of
tho Senate, and Drake will soon tread

Such a conjunction portends had eggs,
and the hatching of more rotten
schemes.
The Oyster Trade.— The closing of
the bays northward has greatly enhanced
the price of oysters. They are selling at
from three to five dollars a in
Baltimore. Those who take them on
he half shell have to shell out.
The Augusta Daily Press is now

The Recorder’s Court.— ln this
Court, yesterday morning, three colored
men who had violated the 18th Section
were fined $5 and costs each ; and otic
for furious driving was required to pay
the costs of Court. Nothing of much
consequence was done.
Neoro Testimony. —The Ch trleston
Mercury gays that the tiew law admit
ting negroes to testify in courts in South
Carolina, has been attended with more
than the expected success. The colored
witnesses seem to be impressed wilh the
obligations placed upon them, and their
evidence has been generally given with
an evident desire to tell the whole truth
and nothing but the truth. There was
but little tendency to prolixity and dis
cursiveness, and the testimony Ims, in
the late criminal trials, been clear, in
telligible, and to t|t» point
Crosby s Opera House Art Associ.
ation, Chicago. —The drawing of prizes
in the Crosby Art Association took place

Trouhi.r im Wall Street.—Ad
vice* were received iu this City on yes
terday, of reported failures in Wall
street, which had caused considerable
sensation among the bolls aud bears of
that locality. Our preaa reports make
no allusion to them.
Meats and Groceries.—OuP popu
lar friend, Josiah Miller, has recently
opened a meat store opposite the mar
ket, at Clark's otd stand, where enn
always be found choice fresh meats of
every kind, with a varied stock of gro

Burglary. —Last night, just after
dark, some cool individual stepped into
the hall of the residence of Foster
Blodgett, Esq., and helped himself to

the clutches of the police may freeze to
the greedy fellow.
The Sugar Crop ok Louisiana.—
The New Orleans Times says : ‘‘The
sugar crop of Louisiana this year will
reacli silty thousand hogsheads, against
sixteen thousand last year 5 that only
extraordinary obstacles will prevent a
production of one hundred thousand
next year, and that the old average of
four hundred and fifty thousand hogs
heads will be restored in three years.' 1
The Prisidknt't Restoration Pol
icy.— The President lately in conver
sation with a friend, expressed his una
bated confidence in the final triumph of
his restoration policy. He also took
occasion to condemn the project that
was being agitated in Congress for the
overthrow of the present State govern
ments at the South, and dcelnred that
it would release those State governments
from the payment of their State debts,
and impose them upon the United
States. Mr. Seward has recently ex
pressed the same confidence in the tri
umph of the President's policy as was
expressed by tho President himself.
Theatre—Benefit.— To-night has
been set apart as the occasion for a
benefit tendered by a number of our
promiueut c tizens to Mrs. Watkins. In
all the qualities which constitute tbe
lady, as -well as in histrionic accom
pli shinents, Mrs. Watkins is an orna
ment to her profession, and we look for
such an audience to-night as will unmis
takably attest the high consideration
entertained for her in this City. The
role selected is one in which she has
won high plaudits from the most omi
nent critics of the time, and iu which
we are assured she will be well supported
by the company.
Fire in Walker Street.—Shortly
before three o’clock on Thursday morn
ing, a fire brake out on the third floor
of the building No. 119, Walker street,
in the premises occupied by A. 0. Mc-
Kinley A Cos., manufacturers ot brass
cocks and plumbers’ work. The flames
sprend to the second floor, when the
root and walls fells in, and the firemen
soon after extinguished ihe fire.
McKinley A Cos. sustain a loss of
about $2,000, partly insured. Tbe first
and second floors were occupied by
Charles E. Hartshorn, fire engine maker,
who also owns the building. His loss
on machinss, etc., will be about $12,000;
only insured for $3,000. The loss on
the building will be about $5,000 ; in
sured for $1,500 —Mew York Herald,
Jan. 18. - '
Mr. Hartshorn, whose name is men
tioned above us the principal sufferer
by the fire, has built the fire apparatus
of this City for the past fourteen or fif
teen years, and was engaged in getting
up an engine, and three Hose Carriages
for our department, all of which were
more or less injured. The entire appa
ratus were in two weeks of being ready
tor shipment. A letter to Chief Engi
neer Platt, however, states that the dam
ages is not so serious but that it can be
soon repaired, and the greatest Injury is
in the delay which will necessarily occur
in their completion and delivery. The
firemen of Augusta will sincerely sym
pathize with Mr. Hartshorn in his se.
vere loss, and will heartily indorse the
the wish that bo will soon recover from
its effects, and enter again tho high road
to success and prosperity.
Sportino Item. —The last number of
Wilkes' Spirit of the Times contains an
editorial statement that in the next
issue of that paper will appear an offer
from Mr. Leouard Jerome to run Ken
tucky against any horse in tho world.
The editor believes that the distance of
the race will be anything from a two
mile dash to four mile heats. There
will also be so large margin iu the
amounts proposed, that a mail of mode
rate means can meet the lowest, while
nobody is likely to allege that the highest
is too small.
[communicated.]
EDUCATION.
Mr. Editor: —Your editorial in to
day’s Daily Press, on Education, re
minds me of a duty I had neglected to
perform. Your suggestion is a good
one, and I would propose that the lead
ing educational men pf the Slate take
the matter in hand at once. The Rev.
W. H. Davis, one of the Principals of
Summerville Academy, is an advocate
of the proposed measure, and it would
be advisable to suggest to him through
tbo Daily Press, the propriety of set
ting on foot a plan by which tbe end in
view could be accomplished- Miss
Mattie N. Rhodes, who has charge of
tbe Music Department of the same
Academy, is also in favor ol tbe same
plun, and has often suggested the reme
dies, etc., etc. It would he well for
these two worthy teacher!, who it seems
have the happy faculty to a large extent
of imparting to the mind of those in their
charge, the rudiments of an education
that will last as long as time, to take
matters in hand. Patron.
Jan. 24, 1867.
That Little Bonus.—The Savannah
DaUg Advertiser, iu an article on oar
telegraphic trouble* has the following.
We thank our Savannah cotemporary
for their kindly notice; and hope that
we shall always deserve their approval.
The Advertiser says:
“This seenu to us a most outrageous
demand, amt we can look upon it in no
Other light than as an attempt to orufh
out a rival. Mr. Puglie ha* made the
Daily Press a live paper, and lias fur
nished it at half tbe price of the others.
Notwithstanding he considered the de
mand a very unjust one, yet, in accord
ance with liia determinstion to publish
a paper equal to any, he felt compelled
to accede to it, and accordingly paid
tbe Associated Press ageut $1,119.05,
SI,OOO to be 'divided between the
Chronicle and the Constitutionalist ,
and the balance being for bis proportion
of tolls.
Justice to the Living; Then Hon
ors to the Dead.—The movements in
various localities, for the erection of
monuments to the memory of the Con
federate dead is creditable to the grate
ful sentiments of our people; but in
view of the prevailing distress among
the living, is it not possible that we niny
best honor the memories ot those who
have fallen, by extending our present
limited means to the relief of those they
have left behind 7 The brave deeds of
those who gave up their lives for their
country have monuments more lasting
than marble in the hearts- of all who
recognize their patriotic devotion ; and
in due time it will be proper to mark
their resting places with appropriate
tokens of appreciation. But it is mock
ery to pile marble over tbe poor clay of
the dead hero, while tho soldiers' loved
ones are allowed to suffer with cold or
hunger.
Receipts and Stocks of Cotton.—
The New Y"ork Weekly Chronicle of the
18th gives the following cotton state
ment:
Receipts since Sept. 1 ; 888,851
Foreign Exports 376,830
Coastwise shipments 367,766
Stock on hand 356,150
Justice to Freedmen.—The Mercury
says that Judge Dawkins is assigning
the senior members of the Charleston
Bar to the defence ot those colored
prisoners who were without counsel ;
and they have in many instances dis
charged tho duties imposed upon them
with the same zeal, fidelity and consci
entiousness which have so long made
the Bar of Charleston deservedly emi
nent for legal ability and personal in
tegrity.
The same practice ha§ been pursued
in the Courts of Georgia. During the
last week several of the most eminent
attorneys of our State have appeared iu
the Superior Court of this countv as vol.
unteers in defence of freedmen charged
with aggravated offences. The failure
of conviction, in one or two cases where
the evidence by colored witnesses was
very strong, shows the scrupulous care
with which our Courts give the full ben
efit of possible doubt to this class ofour
population.
Getting a Jury.—One of the great
est perplexities of the constabulary force
of this county, is in making up the
J*)iy panels for the numerous courts, it
may be consoling to those officers to
know that others have had similartrials,
Thomas H. Benton several years ago
was travelling through one of the bor
der counties of Missouri, when hearing
that Court was in session at a
certain point, he concluded to pass
that way and give it a call. Passing
through forest ami briar, he was directed
to a “clearing,” where a rough frame
of a house, without roof, might be seen,
surrounded by stumps of trees and sup
ported by splices of sapling. The Judge
was seated on a log without his coat.
Presently the Sheriff made his appear
ance.
“Mr. Sheriff,” said the Judge, “have
you got lhat jury ?"
The Sheriff, blowing aud sweating,
replied:
“Got nine of ’em, your honor, out
here in the thicket, tied with hickory
wytliL'3.”
“The hellyou have," roared the Judge,
“where is the other three ?”
“E/, for them," answered the Sheriff,
“I’ve done all I coaid do—set two dogs
and three niggers on their trail, an’
reck’n they’ll fetch 'em by ’n by."
He*vy Dkut. —The public debt of
the State of Virginia, on the 30th of
September last, was $36,928,804.50.
Besides this debt proper, the State has
gu 'ranteed the bonds of several rail
road and canal companies, amounting
to $1,953,455. This docs not include
interest accrued and not funded up to
Jan. 1, 1867, which amounts to $6,237,-
391.93. The State Auditor says that
while the magnitude of the debt need
excite no apprehension as to the ability
of the State to pay it, he deems it due
the creditors to say that the losses grow
ing out of the war had been such that
it will be impossible for the State to
pay full interest for some time to come.
He, therefore, proposes to scale the
interest for thirty years, beginning at
3 per cent, for the first four years, 4 per
cent, for the next four, and so on up to
9 per cent, for the last four. This will
make an average of 6 per cent., and
the plan is based upon the prospective
appreciation of property. It is not be
lieved this plan will be udopted.
How tiikv no Things in Chicago.—
Theodore Tilton recently lectured in the
virtuous city of Chicago. Being ad
vised in the after.iOou that colored la
dies of the highest respectability bad
been refused tickets, he went in person
to the office and demanded explanation.
The salesman referred him to Mr. Crds
by, who assumed the responsibility. Mr.
Tilton appealed to the President of the
Young Men’s Association, who imme
diately issued complimeutary tickets to
the beßt reserved seats in the house
which Mr. Tilton insisted upon person
ally delivering to tbo ladies in question.

diversity of opinion on his side of Ihe

he would relieve the mind of the House
of any question with regard to it, And
would to-morrow cull it up, and move to
