River News.— The Two Boys arrived
on Saturday. The Julia St. Clair ar
rived last night, and the Two Boys will
leave to day. The Hard Titties is still
at the wharfi
Cohen’s. —One of the most popular
places in town, unquestionably, is the
boot and shoe store of M. Cohen, oppo
site the Augusta Hotel. He has all
kinds and sizes. f
Edinburgh Ai.e. —We are indebted
to Mr. Beavor (of the Old Shades Sa
loon, Ellis street), lor a fine snniple of
the above Ale, which good judges pro
nounce No. 1.
Auction Salks. —Attention is di
rected to the sale at the Market to-day
by Day & Inman, of a house aud lot on
Calhoun street, between Washington
and Centre. They also sell valuable
property in the Mnuge Surrey, includ
ing a handsome cottage residence.
Bobbins. —While bobbin' round the
other day, in search of an item, we
bobbed in at the bobbin factory of Mr.
H. T. Nelson, on the Canal. He is
turning out an excellent article, which
has been used and approved by some of
our leading factories.
Impeachment. —A dispatch from New
York, to the editor of the Mobiie A‘J- m
veitiser, on the 24th instant, La
ter and better advices from Washing
ton leave me in no doubt whatever that
President Johnson will be impeached
and removed.
Criminal Law in Maryland.—
Which is the most indulgent, to sentence
a negro to two years hard labor on a
farm, for felony, or a white man to two
years hard labor in a State prison ?
This is the difference between the treat,
ment of black and white criminals iti
Maryland which the assumed friends of
the negroes try out against. It is the
white uian who should complain.
M. M. Benjamix. —We welcome to
our columns the announcement of a
resumption of his old business, at the
old stand of Benjamin & Goodrich, by
M. M. Benjamin, Agent. He has a
large stock of furniture, embracing
everything necessary to a complete
outfit, which he will sell at the lowest
living prices. Mr. Benjamin is too well
known as a furniture dealer to need any
further endorsement than the simple
announcement that he is again in the
trade.
A Good Idea.—A wedding took
place in Raleigh recently among the
upper crust ’ ot darkeydom, at which
the guests, receiving the usual cards of
invitation, were required to pay an en
trance fee of five dollars, and alter en
tering the charmed precincts, were re
quired to expend five dollars more in
refreshments. This money was turned
over to the bride and groom, who had
taken this method of raising money t 0
start on their journey of life.
Indian Troubles.—A telegram from
Idaho says that General Crook has re
turned to Fort Lyon with one hundred
prisoners and thirty six horses that be
had captured. A great many Indians
were killed, though the number is not
staled. A big fight is expected soon.
The Salt Lake VidtUe contradicts the
report of the murder by Indians of a
party of New Mexican miners, who
were out prospecting. The missing party
have returned to the settlements, and
report rich deposits of gold as having
been discovered by (hem.
Market Sales. —Don't forget the
sales of valuable property,at the Market
Ibis morning. C. V. Walker A Cos.,
Day A Inman, Maj. Thompson, Gas.
Parker, and Sheriff Ley? all have a
plate in picture. ,*nd “will speak a
piece” on the occasion.
Desirable Residence.—Several de
sirable pieces of city property are to be
sold at the Market to day. Among these
the resaleuoe ol Mrs. Rogers, neag thq
market, it'worthy-of especial notice.
The lot ia unusually large, extending
fui ty feet more thaa half way to Rey
nolds street, and haying a front of over
eighty feet.
The Blodgett house, on Telfair street,
and the outrage on the Mauge property,
will also be sold—both very desirable
places.
Pleased. —The Baltimore Skii says
the Radicals express considerable grati
fication at the Outavorable action of
the Southern Legislatures on the Con
stitutional Amendment proposed by
Congress last summer. They say that
it is not strong enough, and after the
passage of Mr. Sumner’s, or some simi
lar resolution, excluding the Southern
States from the right of participating
in the adoption of Amendments to the
Constitution, it is the intention of the
majority to submit an amendment of a
much more stringent nature.
“Hobson’s Choice." —The genera
significance put upon this term is that
there is but one from which to select,
and, therefore, Hobson’s choice is no
choice at all. The origin of the term
puts a somewhat different meaning upon
it—signifying simply to take one’s turn
—first come, firstserved. It arose from
one Hobson, a livery stable keeper at
Cambridge, England, who, to keep his
customers front wrangling over a choice
of horses, obliged them to take the
horse that stood next the stable door, or
take none at all.
The Use of Sugar. —This sacharine
luxury, which has become an indispens
able article of daily use, even with the
poorest people, was, for many centuries,
used only as a medicine. It was origin
ally brought from Arabia, and was un
known among the Romans before the
time of Nero. But little over a century
ago it was considered a luxury, even
among the rich, and it was not until
slave labor developed the rich soil of the
West Indies and the Gulf States, that it
became an article of daily use among all
classes.
Rev. W. H. Harrison. — We under
stand that this eminent divine is looked
upon as the successor ol the late la
mented Right Bev. Stephen Elliott,
Bishop of this Diocese. The mantle ol
the illustrious Prelate could not fall
upon one more worthy te wear it, and
who would “adorn the office” with more
Christian zeal ana fervent piety. The
Episcopal Church contains in her mem
bership no one better qualified for the
position, and we trust that the selection
will be made.
Paradise Lost. —Tho beautiful Pano
rama of the Apocalypse and Paradise
Lost is now on exhibition at Concert
Hall. It has received the commenda
tion of all who have seen it; and is
really a splendid work of art. It will
he on exhibition this week, and all who
admire the beautiful in art, should go
and see this painting. Secured seats
can be obtained, on application, at J. C-
Schreiner & Son’s, Broad street.
The business manager is Mr. Warren,
a courteous and energetic gentleman.
Rogue’s Gallery.—The City Council
of Montgomery ha3 authorized the Mar
shal to establish a rogue’s gallery in
that city, where pictures of notorious
thieves shall be on exhibition. We
have very little U3e for such an institu
tion in our virtuous City, though it
might be well to have one, in which to
show off the scamps from such places as
Montgomery and Atlanla.
Recorder’s Court. —There was a
very large attendance at this tribunal of
justice yesterday moruimr.
A gentleman who had violated the
18th section in this way, paid $3 and
costs for it, viz : He agreed to bring a
load of wood for which he was paid in
advance; but tbe purchaser didn't
want “goom” wood, and so wouldn’t
take it. The woodseller replied that
he had no “oakery “wood, and so pro
ceeded to deposit what he hud on his
customers premises. Customer picked
up a stick, walloped the horse, woodseller
started to wallop the customer, aud
hence the row.
A couple of gentlemen who had been
each occupying both sides of the pave
ment “to oncet,” and got their legs
tangled up somehow or another, so
that the policeman had to untangle
them, were each fined $2.50 and costs.
One of them observed that that was
“cheap enough.” Well it might be for
once, but it wouldn’t do for a common
A John Gilpin, for riding over the
17th section, was fined $3 and costs.
A colored woman, with a masculine
name, who had some fuss with a man who
had married her daughter, was up. She
wanted to take her daughter home, but
the groom was up to stiuff, and had
everything fixed up legally, so the
“cruel parient” contented herself with
hammering him on the head with a
brick. Groom took it patiently; and
the Recorder found the “cruel parient”
$lO aud costs.
Another colored case, of 18th section
style, was fined sls and costs.
And a very highly colored case, of the
same character, was fined S4O or ninety
days’ work on the streets,
A couple of women who had had
some fuss with children—one of them
choked a child, etc., were up for trial.
One was fined $5 aud costs and the
other dismissed.
That Bonus. —The priaciplo excuse
offered by tho “old and respectable’’
dailies, for charging us SI,BOO (or the
privilege of uteri*} the telegraphic
news with them, was that Mr. Craig bad
decided that such a sum would be just.
We do not know what Mr. Craig’s de
cision in our case may have been, but
we do know that he decided very.differ
ently in reference to one of the old
papers. For some time after the close
of the war, the Constitutionalist took
.the dispatches exclusively. The Chron
iole <f- Sentinel at length applied for
them, and the business manager of the
Comtilulionalist wrote to Mr. Craig,
urging that it had been very expensive
for the Constitutionalist to pay for the
uews, and that he could not afford to
have the advantages of telegraph nevrt
shared by another. Mr. Craig .very
cooHy replied that he had no doubt that
il the Constitutionalist could not afford
to share the news with others, that
papers tcould be started t cho couUi do it
—and the telegraphic reports were
furnished to the Chronicle & Sentinel
without any bonus. And yet that es
tablishment joined in the demand of
SI,OOO from us, after a precedent to the
contrary had been established in its
own case.
Vert Clever. —The Tribune has the
following summary of young Beimels’
hobnobbing with royalty: “James and
Alfred, were two good hoys, who had
little ships, and Jame’s ship sailed ever
the pond. Alfred was so glad that he
asked James to dinner, and they had
gingerbread. So James offered to give
Alfred his little ship, as a proof that all
James’ countrymen were so glad Alfred
had given him gucb..a nice dinner. But
Alfred wouldn t take the little ship be.
cause it was too good for him, and so
both boys were glad, and hoped their
families would never quarrel.
The Hayes Lidkl Case. —The case
of Solomon Cohen vs. John E. Hayes,
Editor and Proprietor of the Savannah
Republican, for libel, was tried on Fri
day, in the Superior Court of Savannah.
The News says that the Soliaitor Gen
eral, Mr. Smith, for the prosecution, aud
Hon. Julian Hartridge for the defence,
having delivered their arguments on
Thursday, the case was closed before
the jury on Friday, by Hon. E. J. Har
den for the prosecution, and Col. Henry
S. Fitch, United States District Attorney,
for the defence. At the close of the ar
gument of counsel the Court took a
recess till 3 o'clock, when Judge FleinJ
ing gave the case to the jury.
The jury were in deliberation some
thirty minutes, whep they returned into
Court with a verdict of guilty, with a
recommendation of the defendant to the
clemency of the Court.
Mr. Hartridge, after the rendering of
the verdict, made a motion for anew
trial, which was overruled by the Court.
Mr. H., then gave notice of his intention
to take the case up by appeal.
What the Ledger Says. —The
Weekly Ledger, not Bonner's, but a
spicy sheet, published in the pleasant
town of Fort Valley, Ga., thus aliudes to
our paper:
The Daily Press.— This Augusta
daily is one of the most welcome and
sprightly of our exchanges, and is fur
nished to subscribers at the very low
price ot $5 a year. We regret to see
that its proprietor had to pay the two
other City papers a bonus of SI,OOO,
for the privilege of publishing the tele
graphic news. With the lights before
us, this looks like an unjust act. The
success of his paper has been such,
that Mr. Pughe paid the sum at once,
determined to keep the Daily Press
up tfi the standard of a live newspaper.
Shortly afterward, the proprietors of
tho other two papers gave a supper to
to their employees and the attaches of
the telegraph office, to which no invita
lion was given to the proprietor and
employees of the Daily Press. This
was the "unkindest cut of all.” We
wish Mr. Pugbe unbounded success.
