to the following exton!:
Ah UNFonTaN.vra Fall.—Yesterday
morning tbe large plate glass dials for
the new market clock, having arrived,
were loaded on a spring wagon for trans
portation from the depot to the market.
While they were in transit, the boxes in
which they were incased slipped from
the wagon, despite tho efforts of the own
er of tbe latter and the colored driver.
They fell to the ground and were smash
ed to pieces. The plates were about six
feet in diameter and cost four hundred
dollars. The loas falls npon the owner of
the wagon. New dials will reach Augusta
in about three weeks, when the clock will
be placed in position.
Bails iad Appointments.—Major F.
K Hager, for eeveral years past local
agent of tne South Carolina railroad in
this city, has been appointed general
freight ngent of the Greenville and Co
lumbia railroad at Colombia. He will
take charge of his newpo3ton Friday
next, August let. Major Huger has a
host of friends in this city who will take
leave of him with regret. We feel as
sured that he will fill his new office as ac
ceptably as be did the old.
Sir. Paul B. Sledge, manifest clerk
and telegraph operator in the Augusta
office of the Soath Caio'ina railroad, has
received the appointment of local agent
of that road, vice Major Huger. Mr.
Sledge is thoroughly acquainted with
railroad business, and is in every way
-qualified for his new position. We con
gratulate him open bis now promotion.
Mr. James P. Meriditb, train dis
patcher of the Sonth Carolina railroad at
Augusta, which position he haa most sat-
sfactoiily fi’led, has been appointed
master of transport* 1 ion of ths Green

The Columbus Times has the following
cancel nog a recent Press telegram from
Lake Providenoe, Louisiana:
Two Former Citizens op CoLTramira
Muudertd ih Louisiana.—From private
• sources we learn that Sterling T. Austin,
Sr., and Starling T. Austin, Jr., who
some years ago resiled in Columbus,
and wbo will be remembered by many
cfonr old citizens, were shot and killi d
on th-j 9-hiust., by a mm named Task,
in Like Providenoe, Louisiana, where
they lesidel. It seems that Mr. Austin,
Sr., became involved in a difficulty with
Task and was shot and instantlly killed.
The son, heating that his father had been
shot, hurried to the spot, and as he turn
ed a corner, and before he reached his
father’s side, Tuek shot him, inflicting a
mortal wouud, from the effects of which
he died in a few days. When living here
Mr. Austin, Sr., was a highly respected
citizen, and had many friend, and hts
eon was born here. The family removed
to Louisiana, where the young man Etud-
ied law, and we learn had risen high in
his profeeaiou. At the time of hia death
bs was Pariah Judge of East Carroll
Parish.
Wnregret to learn from the Americus
Recorder the death of Judge A. D. Ken -
drick, fo • nearly a quarter of a century
one of the best and purest citizens of that
place. He was a native of Poultnoy,
Vermont, and was seventy-two years of
age.
The Thomasville Enterprise says Mr
Varnadcp, of that county, will net in the

The Butler Herald also has views abou
railway freights and collateral m t erst
and illustrates tbe same as follows;
We faavd torira-ited that In our optoion
the interests of the railroads will be pro
moted by a ju iicioas redaction of freight.

for example, dre have known corn, pea.',

one ot our largest hou-ics has made a
contraot to have its dry goods hauled f. ,m
Macon by wigonr, beosu-e it co3fs near
ly fifty per cant. less than by railroad—
the cost by railroad being 75 oeata per
100 pounds, and by wagon 45 oen’i par
- 200 pounds, thus effecting a saving of SO
cams on every 100 peuodr. This is a
large saving, and of ooarse no men will
oontinae to pay railroads nearly doubla
the prioe thst wagons charge for the samo
hauling. Other merchants will have to
follow suit, or they will be unable to oom-
Vi to with the merchant who Is getting

We are grieved to Eee that Colonel
Harris, of the Atlanta Constitution, has
'em again. Just listen to him:
"A negro child was born in Bibb county
wftbout a ohin or eyes; Its ears were long
and flapped over like the ears of a dog.”
The last time, if we remember aright,
it was a green monkey with a purple
nose end red mustache. So much for
changing one’s brand o! eye water in the
dog days. It will always, sometimes
moat generally bring ’em on.
The Atlanta Constitution makes the
following reference to three important
bills and their probable fate in the Lsgis
turo:
THE BIO JN~1IURDE2 LAW.
Ih6re Is no blU before 3 ,tbe legislature
that excites more interest than the bill
Introduced by fMajor Bacon to expedite
trials for murder. By the provisions of
thl3 bill the oonrts must dropa'l business
to hasten ^through any murder oase (that
(ionics before It, and if there bs no court
iu session, the judge must call a session
end at once try the oase; it most then go
direct to the supreme couxt and there be
affirmed or reversed at onoe; if reversed,
a new trial mu3t ba had at onoe. We re
gret to learn that this bill has been beaten
in the i judiciary committee. It is said
that it received only one vote. Tho de
mand for this bill is almost nui? r-al, and
it is,thought that it will bo passed anyhow
when It comes before house. There Is no
objection to it that we have heard urged.
THE MURDER “HERCl” BILL.
As if to compensate for the possible
defeat of this bill, it seems to bo pretty
certain that the bill passed at the last
session providing that a ‘‘recommenda
tion to mercy” by a jury shall change the
verdict in murder cases to imprisonment
for life, will ho repealed. The Senate
has already passed a repeal bill by a very
heavy vote, and there seems (o be little
fear that it will fail in the House. The
operation of the bill in the past year
seems to have convinced every one that
it abolishes capital punishment except,
possibly, where tho defendant is so poor
or obsoura that he is not able to make
any defense. Not a single death sen
tence has been made since the law pass
ed, though several verdicts of “guilty”
have been found in mnrder cases. If the
bill is repealed, it then becomes a ques
tioa to know whether or not its repeal
will effect persons who were tried for
murder under its operation, but are
granted a new trial after its repeal.
MCDANIEL’S LAW AGAINST ’FUTURES.”
The law against dealing in “futures,”
also preferred by Senator McDaniel,
shows that this senator has tackled two
of the most subtle subjects that can
corns before the house. As the law now
stands, this eort of trafio is illegal, bnt
the agent who does the trading for hid
principal can recover from the principal
for losses. This right is exactly reverse i
by tho law that Mr. McDaniel proposes.
This bill provides that either the pur
chaser or seller can bring suit against
the agent and recover all losses. If a
man goes into an exchange and bays or
soils an order in futures, and loses on the
sale, he can sue the exchange and recover
his losses. There is little or no doubt
that this bill will pass. It is very popu
lar.
It also states it &3 the general opinion
that the McDaniel bill against lobbying
will eventually pass without any trouble.
The Atlanta Dispatch very kindly in
forms the Democracy of Georgia how it
can get rid of "this independent organi
zation” in Georgia politics. Its recipe is
as followe:
We believe that it can ba done quickly
and effeotnally in one way only, ani that
is by foregoing for the important elec
tions of next year any party nominations
in the two or three districts above men
tioned, aid to invite Democrats of every
class to unite in the nomination of au ac
ceptable State ticket. Fortunately there
is no danger of en election of a Bapubli*
publican in either of these districts, and
wo can afford without risk to let a num.
ber of Democrats, whether ‘independent’
or ‘organized,’ run for Congress and
the Legislature, without fear of a party
defeat. If a contest of this kind afcould
leave any bitterness or estrangement, it
would be of & personal nature only; the
lines dividing two opposing factions
would be obliterated, and Democrats gen
erally would be in a proper frame of
mind to resume their positions under one
common banner in succeeding contests,
particularly if the strength of an oppos
ing party ehouid require it.

The Dawson Journal h&3 been reading
the repent of the Wild Lunds Committee
and retu:n3 this verdict:
gome p»its of the report are extremely
laughable and ridloulcus. For instance:
Mr. Turner Goldsmith swore that among
other purchases, ho bought fi. fas.,
against tome twenty-edd lots in Bubun
county. He hired a Mr. Soolt to attend
to them for him. All the fi. fas., except
eight were redeemed by the owners of the
land before a sale was had. The eight
lots were sold and bid in by Scott for
Goldsmith. Deeds to the eight lots were
mads to Goldsmith, and Scott, with the
deeds, returned to Goldsmith as much
money as ho paid for the fi. fas., paid
for them, paid all the expenses of
having the land sold, bought the
land himself, got back ail the money
he had paid out, and had the deeds
as clear prefix. Will some casuist ex
plain to ns how in the dingnation this
oonld be done. Yet Goldsmith naively
and plaintively swore that, if these eight
lots should be redeemed, he would make
nothing by the transaction. The whole
secret ol it is that the money that Gold
smith got was exacted, under the name
of costs, from those who redeemed the
lots before the day of sale. Costs were
charged acd collected that were never
paid by the collectors of fi. fas. This is
given merely as an illustration of the
way in which things were managed in a
very many instances. In cases where a
lot failed to bring enough to pay tax and
coat the trausferrees made up tho deficit
off of som9 ether lot that brought more,
and solemnly s wore that they thought that
was right and proper. The whole evi
dence is rich reading—it is a gem in
Georgia literature.

The A-.Imta Post cays:
Tester ry daring an examination of

book which was missing was found in a

contained all the missing notes, $1,100
in all, en-1 $120 in money. No knowl-
edge of bow it came there is had by any
of theism ! y, but it is believed to have
been put there eince tbe murder. Thus
some one is trying to destroy a link in
tbo testimony, which shall,sooner or later,
convict them.
The Post also say3 two more negroes
have been orrestedjon suspicion of con
nection with tho crime. Two other ne,
groes who were arrested have proved ali
bis and been discharged.
Thebe were four deaths in LiGrange

Tne. Teligeaeh and Messesgsr has
already put on record its decided opinion
as to the non-liability of Messrs Grant
and Natting on the Jones bond, and still
stand by that judgment. But Q3 matters
ot State nova the following on the other
line finds an appropriate place in this
column. Fi(Bt,the LiGrange Reporter s\yt:
The question of relieving Messrs.
Grant and Natting from the bond which
they mads for John Jones, former State
Treasurer, i9 one which proper]j beloDgs
to the judiciary and nos to the Legisla
ture. Tne:- gentlemen claim that their
bond was only a temporary one, and : u
consequence that they should not be held
responsible for the shortcomings of the
Treasurer after tbo time expired for
whioh tbe bond was made. We maintain
that this involves legal questions which
can only ba properly settled by the courts,
and that therefore the Legislature can
properly lake £no action on it. Legisla
tive notion on it would be the interference
ol one branch of the government with the
other. If Meesrs. Grant and Natting are
not legally liable on the bond, they should
be reiievcG. It they are legally liable,
they should bo held so. The Legislature
is much more apt to come to a wrong de
cision in the matter than the Supreme
Court. Messrs, Grant and Natting can
get jostles before that court.
The Greensboro Herald says:
The L’glslatnrohas not yet tfksn ac-*
tion on t'oemeaBnrefor the relief of Grant
and Netting, securities on Treasurer
Joae,’ baud. In our judgment it is exceed
ingly rare when the Leg'a'.sturo should
interferfere to grant relief to parties held
"able by the Jndioiary department of the
Government; and neither Messrs. Grant
and Natting nor their friends have shown
ns any reason why their cseo should be
an exception to tbs rule. The most that
they contend for is, that when they
signed the Treasurer's bond they under
stood it to be a temporary bond they were
executing; that the Treasurer approached
them tar the purpose of getting ttoir aig-
natures only to snob a bond. We believe
they have never contended this was the
positive understanding between them and
the Governor, the authorised agent to
act in the matter In bebslt of the State.
They Bigned a bond whioh shows upon Its
face that it is a perman-.nt one; there
Is no condition in it that it shall
be void when the new bond is given; no
condition that the parties shall be liable
only for such deficit of the principal as
may occur up to the time of giving the
new bond. So far as the evidence indi
cates the Governor receives it as an ab
solutely permanent band. It is filed
with the archives of the State. After
tbe new bond is given, no effort is made
to have the first cancelled. With the
two bonds the State feels eecure. If
the first had indicated it was only of a
temporary character, or if any effort
bad been made to have it canceled when
the last was given, then the State by its
agent would have had opportunity of
tally indemnifying itself against loss by
compelling tbe Treasurer to give as B3cu-
rities more responsible men than thoro
on his last bard According to Messrs.
Grant and Natting they made an egre
gious blander by giving the bond us
they did. Now who should euffer by
that blunder? they or the State of Geor
gia, who, they have failed to show, is
responsible for it? It seems to us there
can ba but one answer to the question;
and that is, let the law have its course.
We have left out of view the bad prece
dent which would be established, should
these parties be granted relief. Grant
them relief on their own showing, and
no longer will the people be securely in
demnified against the misconduct of those
who handle the public treasure.
Betuenchment in a Horn.—When
ever, says tho Hartwell Sun, under
this elangy head, the Legislature
wishes to cuke a chow of retrench
ment it begins by oulting down the
conuty officers’ meagre salaries and the
printert,’ insignificant fees. This is all
bosh, and intended to blind the people.
Why don’t they strike at the big salaries
of the Stato officers and the per diem of
the members of the Legislature ? Begin
the reform and retrenchment at the oapi-
tol—don’t taka the little end first. How
would thi3 sound: A bill to regulate the
lawyers’ fees in estate oases ?
TheLunatio Astlum.—A few days
since, says tho Atlanta Constitution, "the
Governor was unanimously requested by
the committees of the Senate and House
to appoint askillfal physician on the
board of of trustees of tho State Lunatic
Asylum to fill the vacancy on the board
occasioned by the death of Colonel J. S.
Pinck&rd. The board of trustees itself
favored this view of the matter. In ac
cordance with this suggestion, Governor
Colqnitt appointed on yesterday Dr. H.
H. Hall, of Milledgeville. Dr. Hall is a
physician of prominence and distinction,
and is well qualified in every way for the
place. The fact that be resides at Mill
edgeville and can always be near the
eoene of his duties is another reason
that induced the Governor to make this
BDpointment. It is a good 0U9 and will
be heartily endorsed.”
What Augusta is Doing.—The Chron
icle Bum3 it up as follows. And a good
showing it makes, toe:
There are now four cotton factories in
operation, with an aggregate capacity of
over 40,0C0 spindles and a fifth, the Sum
merville Mills, will soon be turning cut
checks, stripes and plaids. A large
waste factory on the river bank does a
tnriving business. Two iron foundries
are constantly busy. Three flour and
grist mills, using altogether nearly six
hundred thousand bushels of grain annu
ally, are running night and d ty to supply
the demand for flour and meal. An oil
factory turns an immense quantity of
cotton seed into oil and slock meal or fer
tilizers. Two ice factories turn out
about thirty thousand pounds of iee per
day. A cotton gin manufactory bas been
established and is rapidly putting up
gins, condensers and feeders. Three ma
chine chops make every description of
carpenter’s work.
The Li Grange Reporter haa a thor
ough belief in Comptroller Goldsmith’s
innooence, bnt insists that "he ought to
be tried, however. It is due to the State
and to himself that tho matter bs thor
oughly sifted. If he is guilty, he ehouid
he properly punished. If he is not guilty,
his innocenoa ehouid bo made as clear as
human testimony oan make It.”
Epsakiko of old Jonathan Nororozs’
recent declaration that "there are several
strong men among the "indepseden*-,”
eo-oslled, the Henty county TYczhly says:
This i3 proven b7 the fact that in the
last Congressional election two cf the
districts were carried for men who are
now attempting to disintegrate the Dem
ocracy of Georgia. O.her facts and sign a
stand out plain as the sun at noond.y
that Stephens, Felton, Norcrosa and loo
odds and ends of both the Independent
and Badical parties will unite like the
Zulus of Africa iu their charge upon the
solid ranks of tho British army, in order
to crush the Dcmocatio party, and, it is
to be hoped with the same result. Straws
will always show the direction of the
wind, and while we are no alarmist, we
-do warn the Democracy of Georgia of
how the case stands. Fer the Independ
ents to triumph is to relegate our good
old State back to a condition little better
than when Bullock held eway. For them
to get into power would bo to place Fel
ton and his master in the Senate. For
them to win the fight would be to take

Badtoal Wrong.—Under this head
theGainesvlllaHayre eper % i oat as fol

We regret fo learn from the letter of
our Atlanta correspondent elsewhere that
tho Finance Committee of the Honse have
reported adversely upon tho bill appro
priating a few paltry thousand dollars to
rebuild tbo Dahlouega college, and cl-so
to learn that the House, on Wednesday,
r« faced to give the State buildings at Mil-
ledgeville, &ui a little money for needed
repine, to the Middle Georgia Agricul
tural College.
Thera Is au economy that Is do saving,
and there is a saving that yet teudath to
waste. Parsimony toward the eduottioa-
nl institutions of the State is of this sort.
Saving at tbe spigot ond letting ran at
the bung wifi never make low taxes or
bring prosperity.
Outride ot this there is a justioa in
tbe case to whioh violenoe is done. Year
after year we appropriate thousands of
dollars to tbe State University, that the
sons of a favored few who are able to pay
high board and expenses, may be educa
ted, but when Dahlonegi and Milledga-
villa want a crumb from the finanoial
table, that they may be enabled to place
educational advantages in reach of the
poorer and humbler classes, the door is
shut in onr f&oes and wa are howled at
about economy.
The decent thing for the Lsglslatare to
do would be to reoocsider ths Milledgeville
matter, and refoee to agrei to tbe report
o2 the oorpmittee with reference t > tbe
North Georgia College. Let us have a
little jastice as well ts so much'econ

TBE STATE LEGISLATURE.
Ati-nta, Atgx.ii 1879.
THE SENATE
assembled, the President in’the chair.
Prayer was offered by Eev. Mr. Qul-
lianand the Journal of yesterday read
and approved.
Reconsideration of the astion of the
Senate on the House bill allowing officers
to testify as to confessions made to them.
Mr. Howell advocate d tne reconsideration
in order that tbe bill might be passed.
After short debate the motion wa3 lost.
The resolution giving leave of absence
to tho Education Committee to visit
Athens was passed, the committee to go
at their own expense.
The debate or the convict lease un
finished from yesterday was taken np,
Mr. Boyd continuing his speech in oppo
sition to the lease and favoring its aboli
tion.
Mr. Speer spoke against the bill for
the abolishment of the present system.
He spoke at length and in a strong man
ner supporting the present system nu-
qual fiedly. H9 did not want to erect
"benevolent homes” for criminals, the
men who go about bnrning and robbing
people while they were bleeping, and
thought crime when committed should
be punished.
Mr. Wellborn followed, and thought
the State had the right to lease the con
victs. That it wes not contrary to the
laws of the United States, and the State
had ihe right to frame any law not in con
flict with them. He bad no apology to t f-
fer for cruelties committed. Ha was no*
prepared to do away yrith the present
system before some other plan of dispos
ing of the convlota bad been airanged.
In 1865 the State had but 2t ) convict
and they cost the State $204,202. There
are now 1,300 convicts, and wb-t will bo
tbe expease? It would t&ke a halt mil
lion dollars to reinangarate the old sys
tem. He was not willing to put this tax
on the people of ths State. It a good
substitute for the present system was of
fared he would vote to abolish it.
Mr. Lumpkin moved that when the
Senate Bdjourned it be until Moac* -.y at
ten o’olook, Carried,
Mr. Harrison was granted leave of ab
sence.
Mr. Basse 11 of the Enrolling, Hudson

TttE EPSCIAL ORDER CP THE DAT.
The hour of ten having arrived,
the bill tuown ea the Moffett
Bell Panoh bill was taken np
and read. The Committee on Finance
recommend that the bill do not p?is. The
object ofjihls bill is to provide a fund for
the support of the common Eohool3 of tbs
Satie by levying a tax on all wholesale
mid retail liquor dealors throughout the
State, which taxes to be collected by com-
polling every seller of liqnor to keep in
bfs place of business a b -11-ptmoh for

ing the bar kehper to sound the bell-pnnoh
for every drink sold and so registering

contemplates a tax on each drink.
Mr. Russell moved to table the bill in
definitely.
Mr. Autre, tbo author of the measure,
spoke against [the motion, acd strongly
in favor of the bill.
Mr. Russell, of Chatham, said he
would withdrawn hia motion to postpone
indefinitely, and would speak on the re
port of tbe Committee.
The speaker was opposed to tho pas
sage of the bill, on tho ground that the
bill was only, in Ks opinion, to make
money for certain men by establishing
agents for the a ale of these bell punches,
and not for the good of the people; that
the tax is unequal; that no man ought to
want to educate his ohildren on any snob
tax as tbi3; that the teachers got all the
benefit, and poor children none; that the
enforcement of such a meamro would put
a premium on pei jury, for the liquor
sellers, after paying city, county and
Stato taxes, would not considerit a wrong
to avoid all they could ot this last bur
den,
Mr. Russell concluded by exhibiting a
memorial from the people of Chatham
protesting against the passage of the
bill
Tbe yeas acd nays were ordered, on
agreeing to the report of the Committee,
which was adverse to the passage of the
bill. The vote stood: yeas 108, nayB 27.

From the down ot the harmless snow,
The years and the ages gather and hang
Till the day when the woxd is spoken!

And Knowledge comes at laet,
And the bu-dia it brings to you how can ye

Again let the Angel blow I
Tne eeals are lossened that seemed to bind

For a shrieking soul, ac uncertain W : nd,
For eyes that eee but are growing blind,

Take another hue to-morrow;

Ah, shall the Angel blow ?

Something fresh and unstained.

Of vices your young men talk,

And the soul of honor that made yon proud,
The loftier grace yen lives avowed.
Are a pa-sive corpse and a tattered ehroud;
What you forget c?u your child -en know ?

Startling Figures,
Philadelphia Times ]
The figures that show the movement cf
1 lopu'alien to the new fanning lauds in the
West are almost startling. During the year
that closed with last month not lees thru
sixteen million acres of government lands
were taken up by bomeetetd entries alone,
and folly fourteen million acres of new lands
were sold to settlers. It is estimated that
hal* a million cf people settled upon the
new lands in 1873, and the number for the
present year promises to be even greater.
Teoipebanoe is attracting much atten
tion, showing iteelf in local option lawe,
