Judge LcLaws presiding, commenced its

Jury returned some 14 true hills.

of parties interested, to the notice of Mr.
J. B. Taliaferro, Clerk of the City Court,
to he found in another column. Air.
Taliaferro is an efficient and accomtno
dating officer, and those who have
business with him will find him courte
ous and prompt. See his notice.
Tiie Han i on Dkotheks. —There was
a large and delighted audience at Con
cert Hall last night to witness the open
ing performances of the Hanlon Broth,
ers and their grand combination. Their
acrobatic movements are really wonder
ful ; while all the other departments of
the exhibition are exceedingly attrac
tive.
Those who wish to get good seats
should secure them at Schreimer's Mu.
sic Store in the day time.
The bi 1 for this evening is an attrac
tive one.
Robbery and Arrest. —A negro
named Mose Fisher, broke into the store
of Mr. Black, on Broad street, on Sun
day night last, and stole a lot of clothing
with which he attempted to make his
escape. Having been discovered by the
Police, he was pursued, and iu the rear
of the city turned upon his pursuers*
drew his pistol, and fired. The Police’
man returned the shot, the ball passing
through the fugitive’s hat, in close prox
imity to his cranium. After a .some
what exciting chase, be was finally
captured ar.d brought to the Guard
House whence he was transferred to the
jail. Mose has been np before the
Courts before this, and being “an old
hand at the bellows,’ 1 will have to blow
hard this time.
The “Dailt Press.” —Judging from
the many improvements noticeable in
every successive issue of this sprightly
paper, it bids fair to occupy, ere long
if, indeed, it does not already do so—a
prominent position among the leading
journals ol the presentday. The subscrip
tion price of the “ Daily Press” is only
$5 per annum, \\islone-/udf that charged
by its two ponderous cotempornries, and
we believe it furnishes as much and as
good reading matter as either of them.
Since the “ bonus” etnbroglio has been
settled, in regard to telegraphic privi
leges with the Associated Press, Mr.
Pughe furnishes his readers with all the
latest news from every point of the
compass.
We know not who was right, or who
wrong, iu the controversy lately pending
between the three dailies of Augusta.
As the matter did aot concern us in the
least, we felt but little interest in it.
We are glad, however, that the difficulty
has been adjusted. Stockton, of the
Cunxtitulioiialist, and Pughe of the
“Daily Press,” we kuow to he both
clever gentlemen, and both equally
deserving of public confidence and
patronage.— Waynesboro Tiinen.
We appreciate the good opinion of
our brother ol Thaea, and thank hint
for his good wishes. We did not think,
however, that there was an editor, or an
individual in the state, who could doubt
for a moment who was right, aud who
was wrong in the shameless affair of the
bonus. It was a question ot might, aud
right had nothing at all to do with it.
It was equivalent to a demand for our
money or the life of our paper—and to
save the latter, we surrendered the
money.

seen better days, 4 n< l though I
stand before you a ragged and despised
outcast, forlorn and without friends,
yet, sir, thqre was a lime wheu I was a
different creature from what 1 now am.
Mr father was an Englishman ot high
birth and of great wealth. Being ex
ceedingly adventurous and food ot
change (ah 1 your Honor, I wish I
could change myaelf), he immigrated
to this country, and In his jourueyings
became acquainted with my mother
(Lleaveu bless her!), a girl of excellent
education and exceeding beauty. Par
don tne. your Honor, if I drop a tear to
her memory here. These eyes are
little used to weeping now. The foun
tains ot the heart bavo become dry in
the vicissitudes of an abandoned life,
and no longer does sorrow find relief, or
pain assuagement in the flow of
chrysul drops. But, to proceed : j They
married. lit the course of time, 1 was
horn to them. I was their only daugh
ter — their only child. I was their all—
their idol. They fairly worshipped me.
They bestowed every accomplishment
upon me that money could purchase,
and when 1 grew to the verge of
womanhood I became the admired of
ail who knew me. But, sir (Oh 1 pity
me, for 1 know your heart is good, and
you cau pity the distressed), the
tempter came. The spoiler entered the
paradise of home. 1 listened to the
soil words of love aud hope that lie
breathed into my ear. I believed him.
I trusted him. Too willingly I heeded
him. I fell. It is “the old, old story,”
sir; but, alas! the blush of shame
comes no more to these rugged cheeks,
and the glare of these fiery eyeballs is
no longer screened by the modesty of
drooping eyelids. Oh, no 1 lam hard
ened, sir. 1 fell, as I said. The spoiler
left me in my sorrow and my shame.
I bade farewell to my once happy home,
and gave myself up to a life of pleasure
and dissipation. What has become ot
my dear parents I know not ; hut 1
stand before this bar of justice to day.
humbly pleading mercy at your Honor's
hands.
“Is there no mercy for the fallen ? Is
there no friendly hand to lift them out
of the mire of iniquity, and place them
once more on the firm foundations of
virtue and honesty ? Oh! sir, these are
questions which must appeal to every
generous soul. We can no longer
return to society if we would. The ban
of that society is upon us. Outcasts, vaga
bonds, hopeless wanderers on the sea of
life, is there no haven of hope and rest
for us? In the North and in Europe
there are Houses of Refuge under the
care of the Sisters of Mercy, where the
repentant Magdalenes of’this day may
hide themselves from the world’s scorn
and hatred and mockery, aud obtain
once more peace of conscience and the
hope of salvation. Why is not this imi
tated in the Southern States? Surely,
sir, there is room for it and need for it-
God help the unfortunate.
“Thanking you, sir, for your patience,
and kind attention, I can only ask that
you will be as lenient with me as possi
ble. for, il there was opportunity, I
would repent of the past and give prom
ise of good for the future.”
“Well, Catherine Bradley,” said the
Recorder, brushing away a tear or two
which had somehow got irrto the corner
ol his eye, as they had into more eyes
than his, “I will let you off with the costs
of court this time, but I trust that you
will repent and do better in the future.
It is in your own power to become good
and virtuous, and if you are sincere and
earnest in your endeavors, a kind Provi
dence will surely give you the strength
and the power to accomplish your ob
ject.”

The Public Roads.
Mr.'Editor : ' The present deplorable
condition of the Public Roads in this
County has induced the writing of this.
It is intended not to cast reflection
upon any one, but merely to call atten
tion to the fact and suggest what ap'
pears to my mind a remedy. It has
been the custom to let to the letce.fi
bidder the contract for “keeping in
order the Public Hoads of said County,”
and the cousequence is, that the ac
cepted hifider goes'to work—not to do
the most possible good, but to see how
much can he made by the contract, and
hence the had condition of the Roads.
And when the.,Grand Jurors in their
iPreaeifioeiiis j sp*nk -of the I toads, as
being in very bad order, no notice is
taken of it by the proper officials, if
so, the result of their investigations
does not appear to the traveller or tax
payer. I would, if not too late, suggest
an entirely new mode of working the
Roads, and I feel assured if the plan
herein proposed is adopted, the Roads
in one year will equal, if not excel,
those of any county in the State.
Have the Inferior Court to appoint one
man on each of the Public Public
Roads to make suggestions, aud have
his particular Road worked and kept in
perfect order. If necessary, these -can
hold stated meetings for their mutual
benefit. Let them have the appoint
ment of one superintendent, and assist
ants if required. Turn over to these
officers the convicts, both white and
colored, and to these add a few hired
laborers, and the work is done. Over
these Commissioners let the Inferior
Court exercise its authority, and if they
refuse or neglect their duties, fine them
according to the offense committed.
Plans somewhat similar are in opera
tion in some counties, aud work ad
mirably.
If this does not suit the tastes of the
Judges, I would be glad if they would
suggest a better plan, or have the work
more thoroughly done. I propose the
names ot the following gentlemen to act
as County Commissioners, viz.:
For the Savannah Road—R. A.
Allen.
For the Louisville Road—A. W.
Rhodes.
For the Totnkiusville Road—Jere
miah Winter.
For the Patterson Bridge Road—
J. A. Rhodes.
For the Milledgevillc Road—W.
Doyle.
For the Washington Road—Thomas
Skinner.

Elliott moved an adjournment, which
was carried.
The New Revenue Tax Bill.
Washington, Feb 10.
The Ways and Means Committee will
report at an early clay—probably to
morrow, on the Internal Revenue Bill.
A leading idea, is the riddance of the
lax on manufactures at the earliest pos"
sible moment. The present government
wants forbid this immediately ; hence
partial action now. Articles entering large
lv into the cost of living, as salt, leather,
cooking and kitchen utensils, seales,
engines, clothing, made frum taxed
staples, are exempt. Many articles
how paying two per cent, as glue, wa
gons U9ed for furmiug or freighting,
butter and cheese are exempt.
A section is added refunding the
amount paid on raw matcriul enter
ing into the manufactures of many arti
cles exempt because the expense of col
lecting exceeds the tax. Boxes, bottles,
barrels, whose contents are taxed, are
exempt. The Cotton tax remains un
changed. Tax on cane sugar is placed
at The uniform fate of one cent per
j)°und. The liquor tax is unchanged,
byt a license for distilling is increased
from fine to five hundred dollars. Dis
filiations from apples and peaches are
free. Grape brandy fifty cents per gal
lon. \\ ine unchanged. Incomes under
Gne thousand d<4laa are exempt j excess
of that amount, five per cent, rent, taxes
insurance uud repairs to be deducted
trom income, making the average exerap
fifteen hundred dollars. A viola
tion ol the distillery law is punishable
by fine nnd imprisonment not less than
two nor more than ten years. Articles
offered at less price than the tax are
subject to seizure.
TUo minority Keport on the New
Orli-uua Hiot.
a r- . Washington, Feb. 11.
Boyer's report is long, and supports,
by evidence and arguments, versions
published at the time, and repeated
since, by the press of New Orleans, and
the South, concluding that tho riot was
loual, originating in local circumstances
and showing no hostility on the part of
the community toward the Federal Gov
ernment. The riot was provoked by
incendiary speeches, and the same
course would have led to a riot iu any
city in the Union. The conventionists,
in inciting the negroes, counted first on
the military, then on Congressional
support. lie denounces Judge Howell
as leading the conspiracy and then
abandoning his fellow conspirators.
Ueport of the New Orleans Riot
Committee.
Washington, Feb. 11.
The report of Elliott and Stellbarger,
of the New Orleaus Riot Investigation
Committee, says that they examined 179
witnesses, 47 of whom were examined at
the request of the New Orleans authori
ties. *Our history, they say, shows no
riot so destitute of justifiable cause,
resulting in a massacre so inhuman and
fiendlike. The direct cause of the riot
was the re-assembling of the convention
pursuant to the call by Hon. R. H.
Howell, acting President. The Com
mittee gives the history of the Conven
tion and riot. Some policemen acted to
save, not to destroy life. Several mem'
bers, including Fisk, were saved by
being arrested. Gov. Hahn was protec
ted in passing from the hall to the prison,
though he received many blows from
other policemen betore falling into the
hands that saved him. Some other in
stances of kindness by the police ate
notfeed. There were exceptionalities
by the police and mob, but the bloody
rabble continued the butchery until
nearly two hundred were killed and
wounded. Ten policemen were woun
ded—none severely—none killed. If
this convention had armed, or the col
ored people had been called in advance
to-protect the convention, this could not
have been the case. The riot was not
an accident, but was a determined put
pose of the Mayor to disperse the con
vention.
The Committee proceeds to discuss
the question, quoting a telegram from
the President to Lt. Governor Voorhies,
which they say assured Voorhies of the
President’s support in the proposed
action.
The President is censured for over
looking the Governor, whom he knew to
he loyal, in addressing the Lieut. Gov
ernor, and Attorney General, known not
to be in sympathy with the Governor
and in giving directions, which if carried
out as the Lieut. Governor and Attorney
General understood them, would have
placed the military with the Mayor in
arresting members ol the Convention.
The President knew ot the condition of
affairs in July ; knew that rebels, Thugs
and disloyal meu controlled Monroe’s
election; knew that such men chiefly
compose the police; knew Mayor Mon
roe was an unpardoned rebel and was
suspended by the military, and he had
subsequently pardoned him, and must
have known Voorhies and Herron’s
rebel antecedents. He knew riot and
bloodshed was apprehended ; knew that
military orders were in force; yet with*
out the knowledge of the Secretary of
War or the General of the army, gave
orders by, telegraph intended to compel
the soldiers to aid the rebels against
men loyal during the war. The Com
mittee discusses at length the right o 1
Congress to legislate to place Louisiana
vitliin the control of loyal men. The
military must, they say, control until the
people adopt a Constitution assuring the
safety of the Republic, aud receiving
the sanction of Congress.
The Committee report a bill pro
viding for the appointment, by the
President, with the concurrence of the
Senate, of a Provisional Governor and
nine counsellors, who are qualified by
loyal antecedents, and can take the
oath of 1862 ; the counsel to remain in
session—adjourning no time longer
than 30 days. The Governor to see
that Federal and State laws are exe
cuted. The bill provides, also, for the
election of a Governor and Legislature,
and prescribes as a suffrage qualifiea
cation, that male citizens, 25 years old.
regardless of race or color, may vote,
if they can take the oath of 1862 ;
private soldiers of the Confederate
Army may be admitted to vote by the
Federal Court, by proving loyalty siuce
March, 1864.
The bill provides, also, for a Conven
tiou on the 3d Tuesday in October, for
adopting a Constitution, and framing a
State Government on a “loyal” basis.

Stove and House Furnishing Gocds,
r P lIK UNDERSIGNED BEG AGAIN AT THE OPENING OF THE SEVENTEENTH
X YEAR, of the existence of our House in the
STOVE AND HOUSE FURNISHING
Trade, in its present position, to present its facilities and claims upon that patronage that
has, for many years past, placed it far in advance of all competitors.
STOVES.—In this department our stock is so large and varied that newspaper enu
merating iu detail is impracticable. As our leading
FIRST CLASS COOK STOVE,
WE OFFER THE
“GOOD SAMARITAN”
Which is indicated by the above cut. This Stove we have been selling for six years past,
in every ease with PERFECT SATISFACTION to tho buyer, aud iu beauty of de&ign,
perfect adaptation to all the requirements of a
PERFECT AID COMPLETE COOK STOVE,
it stands to-day without a rival, as an inspection will convince the most careful exam
iner. Among our other Cook Stoves we enumerate tho
“QUEEN OF THE SOUTH,” “MARION,”
“HARVEST QUEEN,” “RED JACKET,” Em, Etc.
All these are FIRST CLASS STOVES, well known throughout Georgia and South
Carolina. We have jilso a large variety of medium and second class goods in this line,
warranted to PERFORM WELL, but lighter weight and less expensive than those
enumerated.
HOUSE FURNISHING GOODS.—Our stock in this department is so LARGE and
varied, so well known during our long existence here, consisting of
PLAIN, PLANISHED, AND JAPANNED TINWARE.
WOOD, WILLOW,
AND
HOUSE FURNISHING HARDWARE. Etc.,
that wo deem special enumeration entirely unnecessary. No pains will be spared to sus
tain the reputation, in this connection, that has, for sixteen years past, been so fully ac
corded us.
MANUFACTURING.—Strict attention will, as heretofore, be given in our EX
TENSIVE WORKSHOPS to everything pertaining to this department of our trade. In
this branch of our business wo promise NOTHING NEW. That same punctuality and
caro for details that has been a well known characteristic of this House in times past will
be rigidly observed and continued.
TIN ROOFING.—Owing to the general stagnation in mercantile affairs just now,
we shall, MORE THAN EVER, give our closest aud most ENERGETIC ATTENTION
to all kinds of
Heavy Out. Doors "W^ork
in our lino. Our facilities and way of doing things in this connection are pretty welt
known. We GUARANTEE, for nny REASONABLE TIME, all work done by ue,
and wo aro pleased to find, as our rapidly increasing patronage iu this diiection abun
dantly attests/ that the public are beginning to appreciate this guarantee, and to find
that it moans JUST WHAT IT CARRIES ON ITS FACE WITHOUT DISCOUNT.
