E. H. PUG HE. Proprietor,
190 Dread and 153 Ellis street.
River News.— The Express arrived
on yesterday, and the Swan and Bauuy
Moore left. River 10 feet.
Neat, but sot Gaudy.—ls you want
a neatly fitting, tidy, and really tasteful
Gaiter, at a very moderate price, go to
Cohen's. f
Bishop Lynch.— This distinguished
Prelate will preach at the Catholic Church
this Sunday Morning at High Mass.
The seats will be free on this occasion,
and the public is invited to attend.
The Bishop is not only a learned Divine,
but nil agreable speaker ; and bis dis
course will be listened to with interest.
Judge Gibson.— Hoti. Win. Gibson,
having received his commission from
Governor Jenkins, was,yesterday, sworn
in as Judge of the Superior Courts of the
Middle Circuit. We tender the Judge
our congratulations, and wish him an
agreable and successful term of office.
A False Report. —The party who
started the report that a certain promi
nent gentleman has an interest in the
Daily Press, started a report that is
utterly untrue. It’ we did not dislike to
imitate the example of Congressmen, we
would say he started a lie, E. 11. Pughe
is the sole proprietor of this newspaper.
Boots and Shoes. —The new boot
and shoe store of E. F. Blodgett & Cos.,
is now in the full tide of successful
operation. Their stock is large, varied
and well selected, and is offered as low
as the lowest. f
“Maryland Club.’* —We are indebted
to our courteous and enterprising friends
Blair Smith & Cos., for a supply of the
above brand of Smoking Tobacco. To say
that it is delicious, would not couvey our
idea of its merit. We think that we are
safe iu saying that it will, however, con
form lavorably with the ever popular
“ Guerilla Club,” and that is saying a
good deal for it. Epicures desiring the
luxury of either of these two fine brands
can, we btdieve, he supplied by the
above named firm.
That Bonus.— We understand that
one of the excuses assigned for charging
ns a bonus of SI,OOO for the privilege
of sharing the telegraphic dispatches,
is, that the thru aide, and Constitution
ah.it were subjected to great additional
expense on account of the organization
of the United States and European
News Association. We happen to
know that after the new Association
went into operation, the charges to the
two old and respectable dailies, in com
mon with most of the other dailies iu
the State, were reduced from $ j to $lO
per week. So much for that lame and
impotent excuse for filching our money
from us.
Bear Grass Mills. —The flour
manufactured by these Mills in Ken
tucky is of a very superior quality, and
makes beautiful bread, it is fast super
seding that favorite brand of flour
known as the St Louis Fancy. To all
lovers of good bread, we would say that
Mr. A. Stevens, one of “the oldest lead
ing merchants” in this city, has a few
barrels left of this choice article.
Noiie eat it but they love it,
Nonu name it but to praise.
Everybody knows where Stevens’ store
is; so if you want any, go iu a hurry.
Library Association.— ln accord
ance with the resolution adopted at the
meeting held on Friday evening, the
following gentlemen have been appoint
ed to solicit contributions and dona
tions for the purpose of establishing a
Public Library in Augusta. They ore
especially invited to meet at the Rooms
of the Library Association, at 7 o'clock,
to-morrow (Monday) evening :

Relief of the Poor. —A Concert,
recently given «t the Richmond, Va.,
Theatre, by a number of ladies and
gentlemen, representing the amateur
talent of that city, realized over eleven
hundred dollars, which was devoted to
the assistance of the Orphan Asylums
This charitable object is, indeed, com
mendable, and characteristic ot Vir
ginians. Have we not amateur talent
Iu this City that wi! lend its services for
the benefit of the poor ? We are sure
that a large sum could be realised fr >m
a musical or dramatic entertainment,
which would aid materially in alleviat
ing the wants of many of the suffering
in our midst. We recommend this
matter to the consideration of the re
cently organized ‘‘Masked Association.”
.The Hanlon Brothers.—The reader
will please bear in mind that the Han
h.n Brothers ami their interesting Com
bination will open at Concert Hall on
Monday evening next, and continue
during the week. Besides the per
formances of these truly wonderful
Brothers, there is Professor Tanner and
his trained dogs and monkeys, Mons.
Agoust, the Necromancer, and a charm'
iug Danseuse, etc. They have per
formed nightly to crowded bouses in
Savannah and Charleston, and aie
always highly commended. Seals can
be secured at Schreiner's Music Store.
The Mercury, of the 7 th, says :
The Hanlon's Combination has cre
ate t a sensation in Charleston. The
h ill during the week has been densely
crowded nightly, and the audiences in
themselves present a truly beautiful
picture. Such crowds have seldom
attended Hibernian Hall, and we have
rarely witnessed so much excitement
among our amusement-loving peblic.

How to Lead the Bible Through
in A Year.—A gentleman who has lor
twenty-four years read the sacred vol
ume through annually, suggests the
following simple plan :
During January, read Genesis and
Exodus; February, to 10th Deuteronomy;
March, to loih of Ist Samuel; April, to
the loth of 2nd Kings; May, to 6th
Neherniah; June, to 100th Psalm; July,
to sGti. Isaiah; August, to 20th Ezekiel:
September, to the end of the Old Testa
ment. —About sixty-five to sevenly-five
pages for every month, or about two
pages for every week day, aud lour pages
for every Sunday.
During October, November and De
cember, the New Testament can easily
be finished.
Crime in New York. —ln the city
of New York there were, during the
year 1866, no fewer than seventy one
bomoci'ies and murders, without includ
ing numerous cases of death by drown
ing or other means, where it was not
clear whether or not there had been foul
play. Only thirty three persons were
arrested for these crimes, and the re
cords' of the courts show only fifteen
convictions (several of which were for
offences committed iu a previous year),
with nineteen prisoners still to he tried.
That is to say, of the perpetrators of
clear and unmistakable hoinocides in
New York more than fifty per cent, axe
not arrested, and nearly eighty per cent,
are not punished.
Rkpublican Economy. —Before the
Republican party came into power, the
Treasury Department of the United
States had 416 clerks. Now it has
2,300. The difference is suggestive,
in simple arithmetical proportion ; as
2,300 are to 416, so has been the ex
pense of the Government under Repub
lican rule.
GEORGIA ITEMS.
The salary of the Judge of the City
Court of Savant.nh has been raised to

'llin receipts of Cotton at Athens.
!i'"tu August, 1866, to Jun. 1, 1807,

man says the average receipts before the
wjr for the same time were 10,000.
The Columbus Sun bus the incident
below, which is good, barring the pro
fanity of the “youthful cuss:” The fol
lowing wns told on Friday. Rnining
heavy. 011 gent in house without wood,
calls out to boy singing “Jordan is a
hard road," etc., driving a wagon that
contained about n dozen little sticks,
“What do you ask fur that wood ?” ‘ Two
dollars and a half,” yells out the young
ster, and sung ahead. “Where do you
expect to go when you die 7” asks old
gent. “Expect to go to li—ll for haulin
this wood two miles in such a rain and
not ask but two dollars and a half for
it.” Gent bought the load at boy’s price.
Two congregations near Louisville,
Ky., have sent two car loads of provis
ions for the destitute of Athens, Ga.
Rev. G. G. Taylor, of the Christian

supplies.

Anew pilot boat was launched on
Thursday, Irom the ship-yard of H. F.-
Williuk, Jr., of Savannah.
Two human skeletons have been found
in a Savannah cellar, which are sup
posed to have been placed there during
the revolution.
The Columbus Sun mentions having
seen two beggar girls who had made
the tramp of the city, hud tilled their
bags with clothes, etc., and thrown
away the corn bread “pitying ladies”
had given them, buying candy. ‘ They
hadn’t had nothing to eat in a week.”
Sixteen hundred acres of land were
sold at Sheriff’s sale in Jones county,
on the first Tuesday iu last month, at
fifty cents per acre. A portion lying
on Cedar Creek is said to be very good.
The Columbus Sun reports the ne
groes returning in large numbers from
Mississippi.
The Editor of the Georgia Citizen —a
gav and festive young buck of GO —who
has just returned from a bridal tour,
says lie will devote himself to recon
struction with more zeal than ever.
Messrs. Merriit & Brown are manu
facturiug at Hawkinsvilb-, an approv' and
Cotton and Seed Planter and Grain
Distributor. Why don’t they let the
planters know it by judicious advertis
ing ?
We learn from the Columbus Sun
that one of the novel cases was up before
Justices Torry, Lynch and Russell on
the 2nd inst: Mr. Langford, iu 1865,
before the Georgia Convention assem
bled, had whipped a negro woman.
Her husband a few days ago had him
arrested ou a charge of assault and bat
tery, aud brought “befo de Burow,” and
“dat stution” turned the case over to the
civil authorities. The justices bound
Mr L. over iu a bond of S3OO to appear
before the Superior Court. Justice
Russell differed from the other two—he
thinking that, until Georgia declared
negroes free, an owner had the right to
give them a correction, and a reasonable
whipping of his own property was not
an assault.
The Columbus Enquirer says a suit
was brought by Wm. Bagiey vs. Hughes,
Daniel & Cos., to recover the value of
Cotton deposited in their warehouse,
lately destroyed by fire. The plaintiff
alleged that the defendants represented
the warehouse to be fire proof. The
defendants in reply introduced evidence
to prove that the building consisted of
substantial brick walls, and was covered
with tin, supported by pillars, rafters,
etc., of wood, and that was what con
stituted a fire proof warehouse in the
common acceptation of the term. There
was also some evidence tending to
prove that the Cotton was set on fire
from the inside of tho warehouse.
The Court instructed the Jury that if
the cotton was fired from the inside of
the warehouse the delendants were not
liable, but if the fire was communicated
to the building from the outside, and
the building was not fire proof in the
usual acceptation of that term, they
were liable for the value of cotton de
stroyed, otherwise they were not. Ver
dict for the defendants. By agreement
of the parties, the verdict was set aside,
the case entered on the Appeal Docket
and continued.
Moses for plaintiff; Dougherty for
defendants.
Hon. 11. AY. Hilliard, of this city, de
livered a lecture in Atlanta on Thurs
day night for the benefit of the poor of
that city. His subject was the “Genius
of Milton,” and the Era speaks in very
high terms of the effort of our eloquent
fellow citizens.
The citizens of Rome give a concert

Sad. —An advertisement, iti London,
for the parents of a young girl, who had
been picked up by the police, brought
applications from a host of distressed
parents, all over the kingdom, who
hoped to find in the prisoner, their own
child, who had been beguiled from
home.

FROM WASHINGTON.
Congressional.
SENATE.
Washington. Feb. 9.
A memorial from Mary Leloux, whose
husband was killed in the New Orleans
riots, asking relief, was referred to the
Committee on Pensions.
A motion to reconsider the vote
against the Bankrupt bill was carried,
and the reconsideritiort was postponed*
The Senate then considered the Dis
trict bills.
After an executive session, the death
ot Henry Grider, of Kentucky, was
announced. Mr Davis pronounced a
eulogy, and the Senate adjourned.
HOUSE.
The consideration of Stevens’ hill was
resumed.
Banks took the floor. He believed
the States lately iu rebellion were still
States, hut may he regarded in a stale
of siege. He would not object to plac
ing them under martial law, but the hill
went further, establishing governments
responsible neither to Congress nor the
people, but to the commander of the
army. Another objection is, there is
not a letter or a line looking to the es
tablishment of any other than military
governments.
Mr. Ashley rose to a question of or
der, called tip the Nebraska veto, aud
the Senate's action thereon.
The message was read, when Mr. |
Ashley moved the previous question, and
the bill passed—l2o to 44. Davis and
Raymond voting nay.
Mr. Stevens' bill was resumed. Mr.
Raymond said it was clear that there if
not unanimity enough to secure the effec
tiveness of the measure. None of the
propositions before the House had suf
ficient friends to enforce them, even is
passed. The time had arrived lor Con
gress to concoct some measure which
would secure effective unanimity, and
.command the support of every depart
ment of the Government. He proposed
that the whole matter be referred to a
committee of five, or seven, of which
Mr. Stevens be chairman, to report a bill
by Wednesday for the protection ot life
and liberty in the South, and for the
speedy rtadmission of those States.
In the course of a long debate, Mr.
Sbellebarger said, the New Orleans Riot
Committee would, on Monday next,
present a bill for the civil organization
of the States.
Mr. Raymond was glad to hear it.
Mr. Hise announced the death of
Henry Grider. Appropriate resolutions
were passed by the House.
Adjourned.
Miscellaneous.
Washington, Feb. 9.
Mr. Banks, yesterday, in appealing to
Mr. Stevens against pressing a vote,
used the following language. “I be
lieve that a day or two devoted to the
subject of the reconstruction of the
Government will bring us to a solution
iu which we shall agree ; in which the
two Houses shall agree ; in which the
people of the country will sustain us, and
in which the President will give us his
support.”
T his speech gives rise to various spec'
illations. It is understood, however
that Mr. Banks was frequently in coun
cil with Southerners recently here, and
that he favors their proposed policy.
Mr. Banks intimated that any Con
gressional policy would be futile in
operation if opposed by the Executive,
We must have laws in which theExecu'
tive will ccdpcrate, iu order to make
those laws effective. If we fail to
secure cooperation in laws, it is our
duty to drop law making nnd consider
the purposes and position of the Presi
dent himself.
Washington. Feb. 9 —P. M.
Mr. Henry Grider, of Kentucky, whos e
death was announced to-day, served in
the war of 1812, under General Shelby ;
in both Houses of the Kentucky Legis
lature, and nine years in Congress. He
was a member of the Reconstruction
Committee, and was untiring in kindly
offices for the people of the Southern
States.
The National Democratic Committee
met at the National Hotel, with a view
to the election of delegates to Conven
tions of each State, to consider the
state of the country. A proposition of
the Pennsylvania Committee, to hold a
National Convention at Harrisburg,
May 21st, was favorably entertained.
Its adoption is probable, with sugges
tions to State Committees to order the
election of delegates forthwith, who
may act in an emergency.
President Johnson called upon Geo.
Peabody to-day as a private citizen. In
the course of conversation, he paid that
gentleman a high compliment for his
magnificent gilt in behalf of the educa
tional interests of the South.
Mr. Peabody, replying, said he “had
some knowledge of the official care
bearing upon the Executive, and appre.
ciated his efforts to restore the lately
rebellious States to their full relations to
tho Federal Government. Alluding to
his residence in England, he said there
was more friendly feeling among the
people and Government of that country
than heretofore.”
