ALIUST A RIOT IN AUGUSTA
A distarbanee took place just beyond the
city limfs, above the Augusta Factory, on
on Suncky last, which came near leading to
very serous resouls. The facts as we learn
them,: are that a.colored man, with a society
badge df some kind on his coat, was passing
along the rood, when some idle white boys
insulted bim about his badge; whereupon an
altercation took place, and, some other
negroes coming up, some rocks were thrown
and a pistol fired. The colored man with
the badge was struck on tbe bead with
rock aud shot in the leg by a pistol shot.
The negroes then retreated, and being rein
forced went back to the scene of action armed
with mn-kets, and seemed ready organized for
action. The whites then retired for reinforce

D.
HIS
HAUL. RICE SMELLING OUT
CHANCES FOR CONGRESS.
We recently had occasion to notice the ill
success which attended tbe advent of D. Hall
Rice, carpet-bagger, in Yaldosta, where he
had .gone to present his countenance to the
“foil” as an indnbitable argument in support
of his fitness to represent them in Congress.
Our readers will remember his hasty exit
from that place with tbe hoots and hisses of
the indignant colored Conservatives ringing
in his ears. We are happy to be able to
inform our readers of the further progress of
this kuight-errant after “toil" auf-
rage, and to say that when last heard
-from he had been received with equal
ly distinguished hospitality' in the city
of Thomasville, A gentleman who was in
that city at the [ime of the demonstration,
has kindly furnished us with the following
account: .
“Your townsman, D. Hall Rice visited our
town a few days since. He fonnd associates
only with a negro or two, with whom he
dined, and without any “popular demon
stration,” he retraced his steps homeward.
IJis mission, it is said, was to took into the
' Congressional field. Rice, Bradley and Clift
'imnlbrtal trio!’’
As uiis information is under date of the
15th instant, it is reasonable to suppose that
, unless he has been detained on bis ronte by
like overwhelming enthusiasm, he will soon
doable to the point of departure, confident
of his strength, and flushed with tbe assu
rance of victory.
But he little dreams of the African lion in
his path. Alpy, the twice victorious, the
McGregor on his heath, confronts him here,
“one blast from whose bngle horn is worth a
thousand men,” who al his nod will gather
from the slime of the Ogeechee, the reeking
-wigwams of Yamacraw and tbe mud-flats of
Carolina to maintain his superior claims to a
seat in the assemblage of the nation’s purity
and honor. We have read of the Greeks, but
we know—when nigger meets carpet-bagger,
then comes the lug of war!
A Little, Low, Mean Thick.—Wto see
that there ^as a bill before the Legislature
to change the name Bartow, in Polk county,
to that of Butlervifle. This bill was not in
troduced by the member from Polk, nor
with bis consent, but against his will, and
when he was confined to a sick bed. A
scalawag, named Butler, introduced the bill,
but it is doubtful whether he wished to fas
ten his own name, or .that of the great spoon
thief Butler upon tbe people of Polk county.
At aDy rate it was, as the author thought, a
thrust at the fallen hero, and at the sound
Democracy of Polk conrity. Such God-for
saken, Hell-deserving wretches as this Bai
lor and the other thief Butler and their kith
may even blot ont States and tbe names of
States and towns, bnt they can never erase
from the memory of the Southern people
such names as that of Francis S. Bartow.—

A New Shuffle of the Pack.—The At-
anta correspondent of the Angnsta Chronicle
says:
It is generally conceded that Hopkins is
to take the candidacy for Congress from the
1st District, and that Bradley is to run for
Mayor of Savannah.
We don’t believe a word of it. Alpy’s not
such a fool as to exchange - the honors and
$5,000 per annum; with all the pickings and
stealings of a term in Congress, for the piti
ful position of Mayor of Savannah. Not-he,

Richmond, August 25.—A Republican mass
meeting commenced at noon to-day, and lasted
four hours. A procession, consisting of about
two thousand blacks and fifty whites, including
a large deputation of blacks from the surround
ing counties, marched through the city with
music, flags, banners and wagons bearing
looms, anvils and other implements of labor;
and banners inscribed “Grant and peace or
Blair and war;” “Labor must be respected;”
“Let us have peace;” “We are coming, Johnny
Rebs:” “Malice towards none,” etc., etc. The
City Spring Square wa9 densely crowded, and
side meetings were held. Gov. Wells, General
William C. Wickham, formerly a Confederate
General, and others addressed tbe meeting.
Gemeral Wickham said if Grant was elected
the Democratic party would be broken down
and the country would have peace; and he
said further that he was quite as willing to be
called a carpet-bagger as a Democrat, the
latter party having originated ail the troubles
of the conntry. Tbe affair passed off or
derly.

New Yobk, August 25.—A number of
Sheriff’s officers, entered the Broadway
Theatre last night, daring the performance,
to arrest B. H. Watkins for producing “Foul
Play.” The officers used pistols, wounding
two actors, one fatally. The officers were
committed to-day to await the result of the
injuries of the wounded men.
iog. On returning to the city they met
crowd of white men, who were also armed,
goiog to the scene of action. After some
persuasion these were also induced to re
turn.
One of the party, however, who was in
toxicated, endeavored to raise a row with
the police, who arrested him. Yesterday
morning he was tried before the Mayor and
fined $25 for resisting or molesting the po
lice (21et section), and $20 for disorderly
conduct (18th section), b. sides the cost of
couit.
The was nothing of a political nature
about this riot. It was, as we have related
it, the result of youthful mischief, iided by
bad whiskey, aud an unnecessaiy spirit of
resistance on the part of the negroes.—Au
pasta Chronicle. ■
The colored Radicals in Washington ate
becoming every day more faiions over the
action of the Fire Commissioners and Coun
cils of that city in dismissing so summarily
all the negro firemen in the department.
They now charge that they have heen used
as mere tools by the carpet-baggers, by
which to accomplish their own purposes.
They are more than -half right, a fact which
the negroes generally will discover before
they are much older.

The “mean trick” of this Florida Hyena,
Butler, reminds us of the attempt made in
the first session of the Georgia Legislature
after the war, by Jce Brown's little Cherokee
scalawag, Parott, to have the name of Bar

we contemplate each bitterness of soal, we
are consoled by the thought that the name
of Bartow will be remembered and honored
when those of Butler and Parott will be for

What Is the Matter with You ?
This is the familiar question put to every invalid.
In many cases the answer is, “I don’t know exactly,
but I don’t feel well.*’ Look at the countenance of
the man or woman who makes this reply, and yon
will generally find that the eyes are dull and lustre
less, the complexion sallow, the cheeks -flacid, and
the whole expression of the face directed. Interro
gate the invalid more closely, and yon will discover
that Constipation, the resalt of a disordered
stomach and a torpid liver, is at the bottom of the
mischief. “That’s what's the matter.** Whoever

* - -» )
c avannali, June 4, lS6S
The Savannah Gaa Light Company, wishing to sup
ply Gas to its patrons on as cheap terms as may be
consistent with a fair return for the capital and iabor
applied in its manufacture, and believing that ifce
active business which maybe reasonably expected
daring the coming winter in this city, will cause au
increased demand; and farther, that a diminution is
price will induce many to bum Gas that have hitherto
had recourse to other means of illumination, which
are more dangerous and less cleanly and convenieut:
and that the consequent increase will lessen tte cot
of manufacture, and thus justify the Company it
making a re lnctiou in price.
Tnerefore, it has been determined that frem a&d
after the FIRST OF NOVEMBER next, consumer*
will be supplied at the rate of
FIVE DOLLARS AND FIFTY CENTS PER THOU
SAND CUBIC FEET,
and that a further reduction of Fifty Cents per Thou
sand Feet will be made to all who shall pay their bills
at this office.within FIVE DAYS after presentation.
