At 5 p. m. the grove of the encamp-

ministers assisted in the service.
A heavy rain fell immediately before
the parade, which deprived many from
witnessing tbie interesting feature of tho
croirramme, and succeeded in soiling
Jome of the pretty “new bonnets worn

Jthe ladies who remained and toot the
chAnees were weather-bound till a late
hour in the evening. However, they
fared well in the tents and flipped camp
tea with the soldiers.
MONDAY
was spent in drilling and dancing. The
interest in the encampment having In
creased, a large assombly witnessed tho
drilling. Several ladies were upon the

1UZSDAT.
Captain Burke, of the Gate City
Guards, Atlanta, and Lieut J. J. Printup,
of the Berne Light Guards, came down
yesterday. Captain B. was to have act-
cd as Judge, but sickness in his family
compelled him to leave. Captain Da-
Bienon, of the Baldwin Bines, Milledge-
ville, took his position among tho um-
-'capt. Thomas Ko3s, of tho Cadets, and
Capt W. W. Carnes, of the Macon Vol
unteers. are here and will constitute, with
Dipt. DuBignon, the jndgeB of tho prize
drill. They were met at the depot by a
detachment of the staff and others, and
were driven direct to the headquarters.
After a short conversation and a general
formal introduction, eto., a neat and rel*
likable ovation w*e given them with their
associate judge. Captain DuB., at head
quarters. A tastily arranged and taste-
tally constituted dinner was sent in by
Mrs. D. W. Patterson. Other ladieasenfc
dinners also. At the table Capt. Carnes
naked of Maj. Mangham if ho remem
bered any such dinners during the shank
of the late war.to which the Maj. feelingly
and reverently replied, "I do not.” Cap-
Games afterwards referred to tho blue
beef and uneieved corn bread be bad to
iuetain life upon during a part of his ar
my career. At the mention of such rem*
iaiscenses the veterans present sighed
and asked to be helped ajain to the vari
ant viands. The stinging hunger to
which they had to survive during those
trying times seemed to have come up be
fore them again, and I verily believe if
Captain Carnes bad not ceased hie tantili-
ring reminders of the war’s hardships,
that wo would have wept and gone hun
gry sway, for Captain Murphy and Ma
jor Mangham came nearly, destroying
everything in reach. Captains Boss and
DuBignon were not ot age daring the
war and they, like myself, could not res
ize why such stories made men so hon-
ary. However, there was enough left
1.110 louit-a tur ■ annul ujuj^.uj .
Could space be allowed I would take
pleasure in repeating some of the narra
tives delivered by the old soldiers pres
ent. Many sighs fell feelingly upon the
graves of these ssorod reminiscences.
So bitterness or bloody ebirtism mingled
ia any of Ibe stories. They were sketches
of an honest warfare, for honest oonvio-
tions, by a brave and noble people.
At-ip. a.,
THE PE1ZS Dill LX.
began. About fifteen hundred persons
were present upon the grounds. The
companies drilled in tho following order:
Barneaville Blues, Quitman Guards,
Griffin Light Guards and Spalding Blues.
Each company acquitted themselves with
much credit. The test was severe. At
about 4:30 p. m., the drilling ceased.
The excitement was intense, and the de
cision of the jadges was awaited with
much eagerness. After a short pause,
daring which the battalion was formed,
facing tho rostrum, the judges mount
ed the rostrum (they stood m the field
daring the drill) Miss Boss Beck was es
corted to the rostrum by Maj. Mangham.
The Barneaville Blues were ordered to
tho front. Oa taking their position
Captain Carnes announced to them in a
graceful manner that they had won the
prize. An immense and continued round
of applause filled the air from the defeat
ed companies. Their magnanimity was
beautiful.
Major Mangham auncu aosd as his rep
resentative to deliver the pr'zi Miae B <sa

modestly; and her beautiful face was
radiant with countless expressions. Her
address possessed such rare eloquence

To the above Adjutant Hant, at tho

of oratory, sparkling with a deep devo

oame to inoite insurrection and to pnn-
ish him tberefor. It was, he said, a

aaid tbe notion of the convention wonld

ment on his offioial career. He reviewed
the various issues of bonds under his ad

istration ; therefore there could be no
dishonor in repudiating them.

port of the minority report. The con

their legality, Tho debate continues to
morrow.

THE EWISO SERENADE
Last Friday night was a rather lively
demonstration, and one feature of it es
pecially provocative of much and enthusias
tic applause. It was a transparency earved
by a young man and representing a ballot-
box pierced by bayonets on one side and
bearing on the other the motto: “ Sio sem
per tyranma.” This was toe feature of the
proceaelon and the way that crowd lifted np
ts voice when the yonng fellow oame along,
was inexpressibly sweet to patriotict ears.
Ita meaning of oourse was perfectly plain,
bnt it nearly threw old Clapp, the foesilifer-
ons dodo who spreads his servile gariulity
over the editorial page of the Republican,
into spamp. He filled two or three columns
of his paper next day with the most blood
curdling staff about an awful conspiracy on
tbe part of the Democrats to assassinate
the Government. I haven’t read anything
soscany since the winter of 1876 77. By
tha way, the old “t* 11 »n*t be having a
tight eonlQs. nnancially, with the i;spuvi>--n.
jut now. He has moved ont of that Impos
ing palace of Senses sand-stone on the ave
nue into an adj scent wagon shop of modest
proportions and very dingy bne, and snaps
nis lingers at the officials who demand baok
rations of rent.
A JAUNT TH.T PASS.
I refer to one taken in most goodly com'
pan; last Friday by yonr correspondent
which proved exceptionally satisfactory- It
was down the Potomac to old Point Oomfort
The boats art good, rue ditto, and the time
only abont twelve hoars. The charges ate
one dollar for the round trip, firty oentsfor
berths per night, and same for meals. Yon
are on the boat only one night and take
only one meal, so that yon leave here at 6
p. m , get to the Point for early breakfast
next morning, stay there on til five in the
afternoon and got back here next morning
for breakfast for the sum of *»y $1,00 ail
told. I am sure I never got so much for
that amonnt of money in all my previous ex
perience and snch was tha verdict of my
companions. We, however, spent mere than
a'day at the Point. The Hygeia hotel is new,
olean, well kept, and one ofthe airiest, cool
est houes imaginable. It might bs improv
ed, liowoyer, iu one or two minor paints,
such ss allowing charges of twenty-five
cents each for a (have and a sherry cobbler.
The hotel is built so near the beach that an
active man conld almost land in the water*
by a single jump from the piazza, and at
night tha lullaby of the waves sounds so
near as almost to atutle yon at first. There
is fine bathing in ten steps of the hotel, and
plenty of pleasure boats at not very unrea
sonable chuges to take yon any where yon
wish to go. Then there is Portress Mon
roe with garrison and big guns and thick
wa’Ia and deep, wide moat, and acres of
apaoe and elegant qnuters for men and offi
cers and fino band, and all tbe pomp, and
glory of dress parade, guard mounting and
other military ceremonies. I noticed one
thing m connection with the Cofficers, and
that is, they were all in uniform whether in
or ontsido the fort, or on or off dnty. Here
in Washington one never sees a uniform
except on New Yeu’s day when the official
call is made at the White Honse. I enquir
ed of several soldiers where I conld find the
casemate,' or cell, or whatever it was m
which Mr. Davis was confined, but none of
them seemed to know positively its location.
Perhaps onr brethren nave become asham-
soene of their disgraos. At any rate I didn’t
see it. A. W. B.

The aotion cf tho Honse yesterday in pass'
ing with only 21 dissenting votes, the legU'
labva bill as it oame from the appropriation
'committee, is understood to have an ad
journment look, and prophets are plentiful
this morning who say to-morrow week at
futheit, will see the wind np. If the Radi
cals have conoladed to make no farther
fight on the dispnted bill*, then the end of
the eeeslon is sorely near at band. All of
them voted yesterday for the appropriation
bill as reported, tbs nays being Democrats
exclusively, Mr. Niebolls, of the Savannah
district, being the only member of the Geor
gia delegation in tbe list After tins bill
was out or the w*y, a (mart Alex of a Badi
cal named Byan, of Kanaa*, a oock-sparrow
sort of a chap, jumped np and moved a
bub pen* Ion of the role* ia order to pass the
army bill as reported by ths appropriation
committee. Bat the Democrats,.not dispos
ed to let 'Byan pat fas fingers in ths pie
after each a fashion, moved and oarzied an
adjournment. They will pass the bill in
their own good time and in snch shape as
is deemed oest Being responsible for leg
islation they naturally desire and intend to
put in just such shape as their jodgmsnt
dictates. The vote on adjournment was
cloM, owing to a few Democrats and all the
GmenbackersvotingwiththeBadicals Only
two Kadi"- 1 - voted for adjournment. The
Democrats who voted against adjournment
were Aiken, of S. 0., Culberson, of Texas,
Boock, of Wisooneln. and Stephens and Fel
ton. If the Badical* really intend to offer
no further opposition to tbe passage of ths
disputed blO* the Democrats can congratu
late themselves on their success in getting
ont cf an ngly hole, Into whioh, there is no
uta denying they bad gotten themselves,
and can go to the oenntey with a much bold
er faoe than waa promised a week ago.
THE wABNER SILVER BOX,
Will hardly have a day In the Senate this
session. Tbe Democrat* of that body cau
cused yesterday bnt came to no conclusion,
except that there were irreconcilable differ
ences of opinion among themselves on its
provision*. I think it entirely safe to aay
that the effort whioh will be made to got it
before the Senate by discharging the finance
committtce from ita farther consideration
will fail, and by Democratic votes. Messrs.
Eaton, Hainan, Bayard, McPherson, Ban-
dolph, Whyte, Grooms, Bntler, Damir, and
Hsmpton, will pretty certainly vote against
snch a motion, as will all the Badicals with
two or three exceptions. The silver meo,
and especially the great Warnor, the daddy
of ibe moss ore, are ready to howl over the
A Miserable Counterfeit.
Tbe Eufanla Times and News gives the
following amusing account of the per
formances of some shrewd tramp who per
sonated Ben. Hill, Junior, a son of onr
distinguished Senator:
On Friday last an impostor and dead
beat generally, calling himself Ben. Hill,
Jr., a eon of tho great Georgian, paid
his respects to a number of onr citizens,
particularly those of the legal profession.
Whenever a sly opportunity offered, he
wonld state that be fonnd himself in
Enfanla out of money, bnt that be had
telegraphed for % few hundred of dollars
which would bo here tbo next day, and
wonld ask the loan cf a dollar or two un
til his fnnds arrived. He asked the lean
of such em%U amounts that it aroused
suspicion, and nearly every one excused
themselves by bring jait oaf of change.
One piominent lawyer did, however,
take him in tow, and carried him to the
barber shop and footed his bill fora
shave, on tbe score of great admiration
for tho Senator, and to carry favor with
him for a cabinet appointment, if he
shonld one day become President Even
a wayward Loy is often the pat of his
daddy, and tbe lawyer thonght in this
case, tbat by befriending the son he
might obligate the parent at least a quar
ter’s worth. Tbe Baptiet preacher alto
tackled tho festive Ban and gave him a
cordial invitation to a sort of chnrcb en
tertainment at his residence that night,
and telling him to make himself at home,
even if he did feel that he was a stranger
among strange people. Bat without oi-
ting other instances of the way the dis
tinguished scion (?) went for Some of onr
people, it is only necessary to add that
about five o’clock p. m., it was discover
ed that Ben. Hill, Jr., waa a first class
fraud, and in turn, the pity marshal went
for him.
From sundry winks, nods, and the
coolness with which he began to be treat
ed, Bon saw that there was a rapid
change taking piece in the social atmos
phere, and he eloped ont of town on foot,
taking a southerly direction. The mar
shal soon followed on horseback, and got
in sight of tho rascal as he was striding
through Guice’e peach orchard in the
southeast quarter of the city ; bnt as
there was a ravine and dense thicket j03t
beyond, for which he waB making, the
marshal saw that it was useless to pur
sue him further, and, bidding hiin “scoot
from this, bailiwick,” returned to the
city.

The Liberty County Colored Riot.
The coroner of Chatham county went
out to No. 1 os the Albany and Golf rail
road and hell an inquest over the bod;
of Jack Fergnson, colored, who it will be
remembered died in the cars on the re
tain trip of the excursion to Savannah.
The following whioh we take from the
Morning ifetrs is the verdict that w&3 ren
dered :
“We, the jury, find.from the evidence
before us that the deoeased, Jack Fergn-
son, colored, came to his death by being
oat in the left leg with a razor, the pop
liteal artery being severed, causing hem
orrhage, which resulted in deatb; said
razor being in tbe hands of a person un
known to the jnry, and in the opinion of
the jnry the killing was willful and pre
meditated.”
The coroner returned to tho city at fire
o’clock in the afternoon.
Adam Williams, the negro who was
brought to the oity wounded, made his
appearanoe at ths office of Dr. Sheftall,
on Monday night abont 9 o’olook, and de
sired attention. He hod been shot in the
baok, the ball passing through and lodg
ing in the nnder portion of tbe arm,
from which it was extraoted by Dr. Shef
tall, who states that at last accounts the
negro wbb doing well. The wound is
painfnl, bnt is not considered very seri
ous.
We were unable to learn what action
will be taken by the Liberty oonnty au
thorities in regard to tbe riot, bnt it is
reported that warrants will be IsBned for
tbe arrest ot “CaptBin” John Rankin for
inciting a riot.
It is forlnnate that no white man bad
any thing whatever to do with this san-
Ruinate riot. Nnw lnt "Blaine, of
Maine,” make the most of it. Wonder if
he won’t, as usual, charge the affair to
the vindiotive “Kuklux.” Like as not.
This will bs almost as damaging to ths
Rads in the next campaign as Congress
man Hall’s late viotory. Gradually the
light is dawning npon the masses as to
the trna inwardness of so-oalled “Sonth
ern outrages.”
The following is the report of Conduc-
tor H. Y. Righton: ,
Savannah, Jnne 10, 1879.
Ifir. J. S. Tyson, Master of Transportation 1 .
Dear Sib—Train No. 18, with oolored
ptenio party, left Savannah on tbe 9:h at
9:40 a. m. Stopped at No, 1 on account of
crack pin on right side and front driver
of engine running warm. While at this
point a large number of negroes got on
the train, some ten or twelve armed with
swords and muskets, nnder command of
one Captain Rankin. The tram arrived
at No. S at 11:55 a. m., everything being
quiet and orderly. Between 3 and 4
o’clock p. in., a disturbance commenced
between a couple of negroes on the dan
cing platform, whioh ended in the shoot*
ing and eutting of several negroes. One
was shot standing in the door of coaoh
No. 12, and died on the train. We pnt
his body off at No. 2, to be carried to his
home. As soon as the fighting commen
ced I had the engine whistle blown, and
got the party on board the tram. When
abont to start, several negroes who seem
ed to be the leaders of the No. 3 party,
made a great many threats abont taking
charge of the tiam,and at one time got on
the step to carry out their purpose. I got
them eff the train and started ont of the
turnout. A good many pistol shots
were fired at the train when leaving the
station. Arrived at Savannah at 7:30
m. Respectfully,
H. Y. Righton, Condactor.

is stated, had been drinkiBg, oommenoed
qnarreliDg with bis wife, and becoming
excited, took a pistol from a bureau in bis
room, and fired twioe at tha ceiling,
probably with the idea of frightening his
wife and her mother, who were the only
other persona in the room. They at onoe
left the apartment, when ths yonng man
pointed the pistol at bis forehead and
fired, the ball passing through the soalp,
inflicting a wound, wbioh, in ths opinion
of Dr. L. A. Falligant, who was celled to

I have come toon New York here jnst to
sea her. Lost fall while X was away I
was wronged—wronged deeper than if a
man bad shot zae, and left me to linger
ont my life in pain. Men who have not
wives cannot feel how I was wronged,
bnt a man with a mother and sister
ought to be able to appreciate it While
I was gone a man went to see my wife
and got into ber confidence by xepresent-
ing himself as my dear friend. Z oame
back to Atlanta and sold pools on the
city election. One night after this elec
tion I was np town, when a friend oame
to me and told me Z had better go out
home, as some one bad gone there and
told my wife that I was coming home to
kill her.
I hastened out to my honse at 200 East
Hunter street, and fonnd on the floor a
note saying:
“My deer husband, good-bye. I oall
yon Dy tbat name for the last time. I am

It was signed by my wife, an! I believed
that a man oame in a carriage and took
her away. The night before this hap
pened, she woke and cried like a child,
saying that she loved me better than any
one else in the woild. I knew there was
something the matter, but never once
suspected toe truth. I love my wife now
bs trnly as a man can. 1 am honorably
married to her and truly love her. On
tha evening of the tronblo I was coming
ont of the billiard-room of the National
Hotel, when I heard some one call me In
the bar-room, and I went theie. I saw
a man who, on my approach, pnt his

to attack me. I did as any man wonld
have done, I defended myself.

• Mo Grant ana No csosarlem.
The Herald of Tuesday, in a formida
ble leader, defends itself against the
strictures . of a. correspondent, who is
weaned of tbe Grant discussion. It
claims to. have pursued tho tiresome
theme cat of * conscientious regard for
public dnty. Its pertinacious sounding
of the alarm about a third term and Cm
saris m three years ago was, at first, ridi
culed ; but the people soon recognized a
great and pressing peril to the country
and through the instrumentality of tbe
Herald, tbe whole country was aroused
and the movement defeated.. ‘
Three months ago the movement again
took shape and wa* aacertairfed to be ef a
vary serious nature, and the Herald again
recognized its duty to expose a schema
“threatening tha stability of onr free in-
stitntioue.” Tbe fferaXd now believes
that “the Grant movement; has been
broken and shattered by tha publicity
wbioh has been given it,” and that the
"danger of Cm-ariem ia at length practi
cally disarmed.”
It ia possible thet General Grant may
refuse to become a candidate io tho face
of any serious opposition to bis nomina
tion, even though it might be clear that he
oonld beat the field of Rrpublisaa candi
dates; bnt, in onr opinion, nothing bnt
■aob a refusal on bts part will prevtnt
hia nomination.

not be here longer than two weeka, and that,
I take it, in a meat ore confirm* the rumor _
that the Republicans do not intend to fight

He then informed me that Benator Thurman,
Mr. Carlisle, and other Democratic Isadora,
are delighted with the a'tnition, and say tha
Democratic party is bound to win on the

CELEBRATED * a m
LIVER PILLS
FOR THE CURE OR. '
Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint,
DYSFEFSIA AND SICK HEADACKS.
Symptoms of a Diwased Liver,
P \IN in the right side, under tha
edge of the rib®, increases on pres
sure ; sometimes the pain is in the leftjj v^
side; the patient is raruly able to he
on the left side; sopietisnes the pain
is fejt under the shoulder blade, and
it frequently extends to the tog of the
sljo'uldex, and is sometimes mistaket*-
fqrRheumatism in the arm. The stom
ach'iV affected with loss of appetite' -* 1
and sickness ; the boVeSs in general
are costive, sometimes alternative with
ldx; the head is troubled vrtth pain, *
atcomphnied With"a dull, heavy sen- ■
sation in the bath part. There is gen
erally a considerable loss of mennSry, •«.
accompanied with a painful sensation;* .
or having left undone something which
ought to have been done. . A slight,
dry cough is sometimes an attendant.
The patient complains of weariness
and debilityhe is ehsfly sfhrtledrhis—'
feet arc cold or burning, and he com
plains of a prickly sensation of the
skin; his spirits are low; and although
he is satisfied that exercise would-be
beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely-*
summon up fortitude enough to try it.
In fact, he distrusts every remedy.
Several of the above symptoms attend
the disease, but cases have occurred
where few of them existed, yet exam
ination of the body, after death, has
shown the liver have been exten
sively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
Dr. C. McLane’s Liver Pills, in
cases of Ague and Fever, when
taken with Quinine, are productive of
the most happy results. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory* to,
or after taking Quinine. We would
‘advise all who are afflicted with this
disease to give them a fair trial.
For all bilious derangements, and
as a simple purgative, they arc nn-
equaled.
BEWARE OF IMITATION*.
The genuine are never sugar coated.
Every box has a red wax seal on the
lid, with the impression Dr.. hJcLANE’s
Liver Pills.
The genuine McLane’s Liver Pills
bear the signatures of C. McLan* and
Fleming Bros, on the wrappers.
Insist upon having the genuine Dr.
C. McLane’s Liver Pills, prepared by
Fleming Bros., of Pittsburgh,- Pa., the
market being full of imitations ot the
name McLane, spelled differently but
same pronunciation. H
