TWO YEARS OLD TO-DAY.
To day closes the second volume of the
Herald, and opens its third year.
The past year, the severest that newspapers
have ever known, has brought many changes
to the Hebaed.
One year ago to-night, the managers of this
paper, sat down to a supper tendered them
by their employees. Since that time, one of
the then proprietors^has been bonght out; this
interest, transferred to a new partner.
Circumstances have rendered it necessary
that the whole force of printers should be
changed.
beyond,these matters, though, nothing has
changed; the paper still continues its oonrse
of fearless independence. It still talks to
the same large circle of readers, and goes the
satue old round of circulation.

Augusta. August 15, 1874.
A sad affair happened here to-night. Cape Butler,
jn company with his wife, went to get off the street
cars, when two negroes got in his wsy. He poshed
one of them to one side to let his wife pass, when
the negro shot him through the head.
Ii Is thought he cannot survive the night. The
police cams to the rescue, shot ths negro through the
mouth and arrested both of them. Great excitement
prevails throughout the city. It is feared they will
take the negroes from Jail and hang them.
Captain Butler is agent of the South Carolina Rail
road there.

off of hardly three acres of garden spot, made

keeping her family throogh the whole season

One thing will result from the test, if
nothing else. It will demonstrate that ten
tores, properly tilled, will prodnoe more than
one hundred loosely planted, and that the
garden patches lying idle around every farm
house may be made to pay as mach as almost
the whole of the farm besides. When oar
farmers realize that beneath that despised
phrase, “track farming," princely fortunes
lie fallow, they will intensify their efforts and
become prosperous.
This realization, the agricultural society is
rapidly bringing about. As a gentleman said
to us yesterday—
“This society and its fairs are worth mill
ions to Georgia, becansa there are to-day, un
der its stimulation five thousand farmer* who
are trying to forca the largest possible yield
frorq a single crop, aDd ten thousand more

Montgomery, Ala, August 15,1S74.
On the paasenger train between this city end Selma
occurred, on je4ttrday, a practical enforcement #f tbe
spliit of the civil rights bill, and the inevitable finale
of all such attempts. On the train was Judge Richard
Bnateed, of the United States Disfrict Court for this
Slate, who occupied a seat ia the ear apportioned to
white passengers. Sitting beside Bnsteed was a burly
negro, and the two were engaged in a close converea-
tlou. As conductor Dibble camo through the car, he
told tho negro to go forward to the coach attached to
the train lor_ his race. Busteed told the negro to
keep his seat; whereupon some hot wordf ensued be
tween the meu, when a poasenger sitting near raised
up and, aiming a fair blow at the darkey, knocked
him down. At this Busteed drew his pistol and
made an effort to use It, but the crowd icteifering,
the row was quelled, and the negro put out cf the
ladies car.
The negroes are very much excited at the affair.
Later dispatches say that Busteed aud ths negro
then left the car, bnt aoon returned with twenty ne
groes aud took possession. Toere were only three
ladies in tbe car and one gentleman. Two white Re
publicans were on the car, and persuaded the ne
groes to return alter they had possession of the car
for some time. Great indignation is manifested at
auch conduct on the part of a United States Judge.
Oollyer in the Palmy Days of the
Fancy
t Baltimore Qsaette.j
gfjTlie fancy of Baltimore have, as a class,{al
most entirely disappeared. At the close of
tbe war there was a numerous gang ol them
in Baltimore, not only natives, but from every
section of the country. The war Lad been to
them a flush time. Gambling was profitable, •
tbe saloons did a thriving business: they dab
bled m substitute brokerage, bounty jumping
and other modes of making money, and they
spent it as fast as made. The females with
whom they consorted were arrayed in the
finest, Fand they themselves were attired
in the height of the prevailing fashion, though
always a iiule loud. Their favorite rendez
vous during the war, and for sevtral years
after its close, was on the corner of Baltimore
and^North streets. A few survivors yet remain
who are still well dressed, but with none of
the assurance tbat characterized them during
the war. They gain their living by precarious
means; live on the ragged end of anxiety and
remorse, and day by day their number lessens
as they fall into the grave, the victims of con-
sumtion, of 4 violence or accident. Under them
is still a lower stratum, who| figuro daily
in the police reports. These resort to the clas
sic purlieus of Josephine street, New Church
street and several side streets iu the eastern
section ol the city. Of the fancy, the prize
fighter is the aristocrat. At the closo of the
war, bam Collyer was thejpresiding genius of
the fancy of Baltimore. For him to be a
habitual visit to the saloon was to make the
temporary fortune of its proprietor. When
he walked the streets he was pointed out as a
great celebrity, and when he drove out in the
alternoon to take his customary airing his
presence created a sensation on the road, and
wherever he stopped be was surrounded at
once by a crowd of followers and flatterers all
anxious to do him honor and reverence. To
have shaken Sam Gollyer by the hand was at
once a passport to the higher walks of the
fancy.
The champion, Collyer, was not an unpre
possessing looking man. He is about five
feet five inches high; of compact build, gen
erally fighting at 128 pounds, and is courte
ous in demeanor aud affable in daily life.
Generosi*y and kiedeesa were attributed to
him, and he was noted for the f*ct that he
would allow no one to be imposed upon by
his camp followers without inteference on his
part. He retained the position of Emperor
of the Baltimore fancy for several years, until
as one by one his followers left him and the
flush time passed away like a tail that is told,
he, with that shrewd Scotch sense which had
never left him, looked aroand for other fields
in which to achieve new laurels. He tried
rowing, but though, he drove a flrst-claes
sculler, there was not enough business in it.
Be then started clog dancing as his pursuit,
and many will remember his beautiful melo
dies and graceful performances upon the stage
of the Holiday street Theatre. Since then he
has traveled through tho land from theatre to
theatre each season, making an honorable
living and conducting himself as he bad
done here, with sobriety and discretion.
During his travels he crossed the plains,
walking three hundred miles of the way.
How matters are changed in Baltimore is
evinced by the fact of the little interest mani
fested in the result of the coming fight with
Edwards.
A Woman's Achievment.
The London Telegraph remarks : Quid far-
minapossie!—what a woman can do when
she gives her mind to it—has been once more
triumphantly, illustrated by the achievement
of a Miss Richards .of Stayleton, near Bristol.
This young person has just concluded suc
cessfully the immense feat of walking a thou
sand miles in a thousand hours. Without
pronouncing upon the propriety of such an
undertaking—and it appears that some folks
went so far as to seek magisterial interfer
ence—it is certain that the exploit is remark
able. One mast walk twenty tonr miles a day
for forty-two days to accomplish it, and any
body who knows the average marches of ar
mies, or the rate at which traveling on fo jt
can be sately done, will comprehend what a
healthy constitution and strong frame the task
requires. Where, therefore, we quite
applaud the Somersetshire magistrate
who declined to stand between Miss Richards
and her lather's wager of jC50, wo are far
from recommending any other young lady to
emulate tbe example of this pedestrian hero
ine. Yet wo cannot but contemplate with in
terest the lesson indirectly to her sex. Few
of our modem young woman walk enough;
they loonge, they saunter, but they do not
take the hearty •constitutional' which works
&uch wonders for lungs and limbs. If we
may be bold enough to say so, we will ven
ture, with the ntmost confidence, to assert
tbat Miss Richards does not choke herself
with a tight tuff, or pinch herself with fash
ionable stays, or deform her feet with narrow
high-heeled boots. 8be is as Heaven made
her, we may be sure; it wss surely tho design
of Providence that tbe natural cosmetic of fe
male beauty ahould be of healthy blood, and
its sovereign tonics fresh air and exercise.
This notable victory over time proves
theta woman can walk as well as a man
and while we congratulate the happy parent
upon his winniugt and hie daughter, wo would
urge modern young ladyhood to look at the
best s de of this demonstraticu, and to try
good old-fashioned walking exercise instead
of physic and restoratives. It might prove a
national service if Miss Richuids oould con
veniently seed her boots and walking-dreas
np to London for exhibition. Fashion might
turn pale at them; but so, too, would tbo doc
tors -for if every youDg woman did but walk
five miles a day ‘fair toe and heel,’ we should
not bee, as we do now, pearl powder aud
•bloom of roses' plastered ou pallid oheeke,
and tbe health of the next generation sacri
ficed to the aaburd and unwholesome modes
of this one.”
New York, August 15.—The weekly prayer
meeting half filled Plymouth church, mostly
females. Tho business meeting after pr.iyer
meeling adopted this:
Resolved, That the examining committee
be requested to make their report at as early
date as possible, consistent with the best in
terest of truth aud justice.
New Yoek, August 15.—The Tribune to
day says Beecher’s cross-examination shows
him as surrounded by persona unworthy of
the trust whom he implicitly trusted; as en
tangled in a net whose meshes he shrank
from breaking because of tho scan
dal. It is a saddening exhibition
of weakness where the admiring pub
lic most looked for strength. Tne black
mail feature scarcely helps Beecher, but falls
like lightning upon his assailants. It shows
Tiiton’s attitude iu the business as touching
the depth of infamy. To Moulton it is de
struction, Carpenter only escapes on the
ground that he kDew 'no belter. Unless they
can promply break the force of this revela
tion or disprove Beecher’s explicit, and iu the
cross examination detailed averment, the
whole pack of her pursuers are placed by it
beside Woodhuli, nnd need occupy the
thoughts of decent men and women no more
forever.
The Times says, whatever Mr. Beecher’s
statement may do for his own character, it
certainly places thejcbaracter cf some of bis
quondam friends and confidents in the most
unenviable light. Beecher’s cross examina
tion goes to show that Tilton is not only a
bad witness, because he vapois, and
threatens, and insinuates, end drags iu irrelc-
vent matter, but because he lies under taint
of pecuniary interest ; nor as the case now
stands, is the attitude of Moulton any
more creditable. The worst feature of
the case is that the discomfi
ture of tha-’O gentlemen may induce them to
afflict the public with more ot this inter
minable tangle. The World says Beecher has
spoken out like a man to meu, and he deser
ves, as we have not the least doubt he vrill re
ceive, a manly judgment at the hands of
his countrymen. As for the vermin who hava
preyed upon him, it is as unnecessary !o
dwell upon their monstrous crimes against
society as it is difficult to see how those crimes
can be adequately punished.
New Yoke, August 15. —The Herald says
that Beecher has presented Lis case as its best,
and we cannot doubt but his statement re
lieved the minds of a vast majority of those
who read if. Almost as if the whole burden
of repToach was lited away it has cleared the
air wonderfully, and if some mists remain this
much is true, with Mr. Beecher’s absolute de
nial of the charges made we are under obli
ge *ons to weigh the statement and counter- j
statements by relative credabflity of persons |
from whom they come ; unless intrinsically |
there are contradictions and incousistancius* :
which invalidate either sUtament, or unless [
the statements are invalidated by incompati- j
bility of their general declaration with the
faets|thus for.
The Sun says: "As to tho charges of Til- j
ton, Moullon 4 and|Carpenter, and any alleged !
admission to them, a man who would hang
a dog on the word or oath ot any three men
who had h.n much as a smell of blackmail on
the hem of their garments, has no manhood
in him. The community cannot permit a
man to be destioyed by testimony of a chir*
acter like this against Mr. Beecher."
The journals generally accept Mr. Beecher’s
statement as vindicating him from criminality,
but regret his weakness.
Chicago, August 15.-- B.rcher's statement
published (yesterday, was a universal theme,
of conversation, aud although, it fails to k t-
lflfy some of tho mere critical, there is a per
ceptible feeling at the straight forward nar
rative of Moulton’s conduct and particularly
his final statement to the Committee, and is
criticized » and denounced unwoi thy£of any
high minded man.
Times says that Beechers btatement appears
in generous and truthful account of his trials
of or manner in which be has been persecuted,
and motives of those who have followed him
and brought many years with the intent of
ruining him and building up themselves.
The Tribune considers Moulton must now
give a public statement »9 he refused the com
mittee.
The Evening Journal accepts Beechers
statement as all snffieeut testimony of his in
nocence.
Nbw York, August 15. — There is nothing
now in the Beecher ecandal this morning.
The 6ub oommitte consisting of Sage, Cleve
land and Winalow, have been appointed to
prepare a report of the investigating oommit-
tae, and apportion of the evidence, to be sub
mitted to Plymouth Church. Will report
probably in a fortnight. The tide of popu
lar feeling appear* to be turning in lavor of
Beecher, and black-maiiing operations of Til
ton and Moulton meet, General condemna
tion. Mortgage on Beeober’a house,
referred to in the cross examination, has not
been foreclosed, although it is overdue. It
was made in favor of tbe Brooklyn Savings
Bank for five thousand dollars, and sworn to
before Justice Sneedeker, the same Justice be
fore whom Tilton swore to tho truth of the
charges of adultry.
Tilton’s law suit is now in the hands of his
attorney, who has summons, and complaint
ready, and instructions are that they be served
I early next week.
j Moulton is still in tho country. Hie ap-
, pearanoe here is looked for with curiosity.
Beecher left fer Peekskill to-day, and will
probably not return before October. At tho
parting reception Beecher, with his counten
ance lit up with joy, but with eyes filled with
tears, stood with his wife andreoeived guests.
He took as many of them by the hands as he
conveniently could hold, right and left. The
ladies went up to Mrs. Beecher and kissed
her. She wos powerfully affected, aud could
scarcely return their kind attentions. Beecher
said he had rid himself of a great burden, and
was now going to the White Mountains and
frolio away his troubles. For at least half an
hour tho scandal was the exclusive topic upon
which he dwelt.

.A. REAL GHOST.
A HE Kfmingtu i Sewing Machine is a real live GHOST. In vain have tue old togy Agents Of Atlanta cried
■ nows”-it will >’ot. Tho gentlemanly manager of ‘ Singer.” after seeing the furore caused by the i»tr>
dr. tion of th > Remington, (honestly, ao doubt,) sought to reeve the interests of his Company by publisbisg
the "assertion” th^t the Remington was merely a ‘‘new name' for au old machine; and tried to prove the
Remington and Emtire were ouo and the same, but, like ail wise men in defeat, now keeps silent on that point.
Next comes th: "mauaget” (V) of the Howe who, after trying the FACTORY dodge to th* diegost of hia
not-to-be-footed friends, seeks notoriety for himself and hia machine by reiterating a worn-out yarn abort*
Bug-a-boo i?» known as the Empire, wheu really his trouble was a terrible consciousness of the Lima P**»-
HNCtt, known as the REMINGTON; and, when thoroughly soardd, kept up his courage by swearing, and, know
ing bis feeble condition to cope la honest competition with the Rkkinqtos, heaped hie Billingsgate personal
ities 0:1 tho Remingtons. M. Co.’s Agent in a manner that clearly showed his desperation.
The Agent for the Remington will not descend to slaug, cant, nor deception; but will atm, a* heretofore,

the reputation'of the -;reat Remington Sewing Machine Company agaiust all corner*.

4th. The Remingtons did not have to borrrw money of their employees te lids them over a season of trouble
