“Get what ?” *‘A pair of good

The “Arch o( Steel.”
A singular and imposing weddiug
ceremony came off at Milford, Conn!,
on Wednesday evening. The groom
bong a Knight Templar, the knot was
tied in a Masonic hall, and the happy
couple were escorted under the “ Arch
of Steel” with imposing grandeur. The
Sir Knights were in full uniform, and
appropriate music enlivened the occa
sign.

The Law •( Libel.*
The New York Tribune urges a
modification in the law of libel, to the
effect that an editor shall not be ad
judged a libeler when the judge and
every man ou the jury knout that he is
not —that no purpose, intent, or dream,
ot libeling the complainant ever crossed
bis mind—when (very often) he was
unaware even ot the existence of said
complainant until served with his writ
for libel.
“Pro Bono Publico.”
We are requested by the ‘‘Lamp
Man," Mr. W. J. Farr, 172 Broad St.,
to caution our readers to have nothing
to do with a "so-called” Oil, named
“Petro," “Aurora," “Light House,” etc.,
a- it is danyerous, and costs from SIOO to
SSOO fine to sell it. Mr. Farr has
looked into the matter in Washington,
and knows what he says, and says the
“stuff” is not oil. f
Ought to.
“If he ain't a prince he ought to be
one,” was addressed by the good widow
Melnott, in referenpe to her darling
boy, Claude, of Lyons notoriety ; simi
larly say we in reference to our good
friend, Joe Wall, across the street, who,
if he don't keep a hotel, ought to, for
most assuredly he kuows how. His
lunches are excellent—gotten up in good
taste, and appreciated by everyone, but
more especially by the printer, whose
“time of toil” often reaches into the
“wee sma’ hours” of morn.
Blair. Smith Sc Cos.
The retirement of the Virginia part
ner from this reputable firm is an
nounced, and the numerous friends of
Mr. J. S. Wilcox—formerly of the firm
of Hand «fc Wilcox—will be pleased to
learn that he has taken the place
vacated by Mr. Keen, which will be
continued under the old name of Blair,
Smith & Cos. Mr. Wilcox belongs to
the sterling class of business men who
made the name of an Augusta merchant
almost a synonym for integrity and
reliability before the war, and his influ
ence and business experience, combined
with that of tjie resident partners of
the late substantial firm, will maintain
for the house the prominence it has
so rapidly attained. .
The Burial Place or Boolh.
According to' detective Baker, whose
testimony we do not suppose is worth
much, J. Wilkes Booth’s body was
deposited in a ground floor cell of the
Ordnance department. He also says
that the body was recognized as Booth’s
by Dr. May, a surgeon who had per
formed a surgical operation on a tumor
on Booth’s neck, and who recognized
the scar. Five other Witnesses, he
says, identified-the body, all of whom
had known Booth for years. He says
the body was not mutilated, save in the
removal of a small piece of the verte
bra, below the wound in the neck,
which can now be seen at the govern
ment Medical Museum in Washington.
The Bread and Butter Party.
We learn that some squibster has
characterized the party which favors
reconstruction as a matter of policy>
and not because the terms of reconstruc
tion are approved—as the “Bread and
Butter Party,” and the Atlanta Era and
Daily Press are called the organs ol
that party. We do not hesitate to say
that such a party is the one most
needed at the South just now. Any
party that proposes to restore the
country to a condition of peace and
prosperity, so that our starving people
can get bread and butter is the party
for us, and -ve ask no higher honor than
the privilege of being a high private in
its ranks.
We honestly believe that if the no Con
vention, do-nothing, dignity party suc
ceeds, ’it will bring us to a condition
where bread will be very scarce, and
butter very rancid.
A Nice Little By-I’lay.
The Columbia Phcenix says: “We
understand that the Columbia and
Augusta Railroad, in conformity with
their charter, intended yesterday morn
ing, to lay a crossing over the South
Carolina Railroad track. The officials
of the latter Company (as a suit is
pending as to the validity of the char
ter of the former, infringing upon the
vested rights of the latter), have adopted
a novel procedure to baffle the efforts of
the new Company in laying down their
crossing connection. Early yesterday
morning, they started an engine near
the disputed point, and singulat enough,
it has been plying all day yesterday,
but never out of sight of the atoresaid
intended intersection. Both parties,
we learn, are in earnest, and the result
will be looked to with interest.”
Tlie Fredericksburg Store.
The editor of the Edgefield Advertiser
thus refer} to the dry goods store of V.
Richards A Bro.:
Wc have very lately been through
and through the Fredericksburg Store.
It is really a great and grand establish
ment. Os dry goods, iu all grades,
styles, and fashions, and of all articles
that can possibly be connected with a
dry goods establishment, there is here
literally no end. As regards their
dress goods and fancy articles, no Orien
tal bazaar ever contained richer, more
gorgeous, more recherche.

Remodelling Ibc Greene Street
Baptist Church.
We are pleased to learn of the deci
sion of the Building Committee of the
above Church, since the unfortunate
accideut that occurred two Sundays
ago, by the falling in of their ceiling.
It is to be restored in a much more
elaborate manner, with many of the
newest modern attractions. The entire
ceiling will be frescoed in a high style
of art, from a design of great beauty,
prepared by the Architect, Mr. H. M.
Akeroyd.
An entirely new feature will be intro
duced in the manner of illumination.
All the light will he attained by “Frink’s
Patent Sunflower Light,” and which,
amongst architects and builders, is
regarded, both for ventilation and
beauty, as far surpassing any method
known. The great Christian Temple of
Mr. Spurgeon,Sydenham Crystal Palace,
London, and the unrivalled Oxford Mu
scum, England, are among the numer
ous successful examples. The work
will be carried out by W. H. Goodrich,
Esq., under the personal superinten
dence of Mr. H. M. Akeroyd, a thorough
professional architect of considerable
reputation and experience.
Greeley ▼•. Phillips.
Greeley turns sharply upon Wendell
Phillips in reply to the latter’s assault.
He gives his record from an early date
to the present, and after quoting some
of Phillips’ article, says: “Such lan
guage from those who believe and feel
thus, is rendered respectable by its
earnestness; from Wendell Phillips, it
is hypocritical and infamous. He pan
ders to mob passions for the gratification
of his own. We leave him to that
remorse which calm and reflection must
engender.” How pleasant for brethren
to dwell together in peace and unity.

Judge Bernard recently rendered a
decision holding that the provisions of
the State statute of 1862, which gives
tho State Courts power to enforce liens
against ships and vessels, are in contra,
vention of the Constitution of the United
States and Acts of Congress, which
vests the power to enforce maritime
claims exclusively in the United States
Courts of Admiralty. This decision
overturns a long settled course of pro.
ceedings in tho State Courts, to enforce
claims by seizing and subjecting vessels
to Rale without long delays attending
actions at law against the owners or
agents.

Mr. Marshall, Consul at Matamoras,

Letters has been received here by an
Imperialist, dated Monterey, 21st, which
make no mention of the capture of

Juo« 1, 1867. S
MF* M should be borne in mind that our quo
tations represent wholesale prises. Small bills, to
Ptantert and others , are filled at a shade higher
RKMARKB.
We have to report continued dullness in trade,
with a tendency to easier rates In a number of the
leading articles. Ttys le due in pert to the great
scarcity of money, but in grain and flour the de
cline results from the prospect for good crops,
which hae never been more promising.
The weather has been very warm during the
week, with rein, and vegetation is
advancing rapidly. 'Wheat it ready for harvest,
and while there ere come reporta of nut on the
blade, we hear of no serious injury to the grain.
Stands of cotton are reported to be fair, though
the cold nights of last week were very unfavorable,
and we hear of large fields being ploughed up and
planted in com.
The labor of the country Is quite as reliable as
was expected; and sn improvement on the last
year, though the number of freedmen employed is
not as large. If left undisturbed by strolling poli
ticians, it is believed that the results of free negro
labor will be very satisfactory
The Cotton market has remained quiet and steady
during the week; most of our buyers being out of
the market.
The receipts show a farther falling off, being,
for the last week, at all the ports, according to our
mail-dates, 15,607 bales. Total receipts since

sixty day bills off. Movements in Stocks and
Bonds have not been to any extent, but sales during
the week have been made of Augusta City Bonds,
