Augusta Evening News: Mr. Wm. A.
Tanner ba» just returned from a visit to
hia brother, Mr. Henry C. Tanner, who
was recently injured by aa ascldent on
the Atlanta and Charlotte Air-Line Bail-
road. Ho reports his brother as doing
well and in fine spirits. His left leg wa,
mangled very badly and had to be am
putated above the knee. He expects to
bs up in about two months. A large
number of friends in Augusta sympa
thize with Henry. He is a young mac
highly esteemed by every one who
leno-a him, and it is their sincere wish
that ho may speedily recover.
From the samo paper wo clip the fol,
lowing:
Another failure is chronicled in com
mercial circles to-day, and on investiga
tion it is learned as a fact that after some
days negotiations, the job ptiuting firm
of Jo witl & Shaver made an asiignment
yesterday afternoon.
Cup:. E. J. O’Connor, who is agent of
tho Opera House building and property
in whioh the job rooms aro located, was
appointed assignee, and has taken charge
for tho benefit of tho creditors. Tho as
sets claimed by the firm amount to about
$9,000, whilo the liabilities are nearly the
same, but preceded by aboat $3,000 in
mortgages, held in Augusta and New
York.
Mr. Jowitt saya the assignment was
forced by him, as ho ihonght this was
tho best way to save the creditors of tho
firm, although it may be possible that
arrangement- will be made with them to
let the business settle itself end continue.
Tho assignee has cot yet prepared a cor
rect statement of the assets and liabili
ties, and it Is unoextain whether be will
carry on the business for thecreditora or
close up.
Messrs. Jowitt & Shaver aro haown S3
first-clam printers, and had not long
since fitted up their job rooms with an
entirely now and handsome outfit. Zf
negotiations can bo effeoted they may yet
arrange to continue tbo business.
Tee Amerious Recorder contributes
cne more Jaepsr item:
It is cot known to all that Americas
contains some distinguished revolutiona
ry and centennial blood. Mr. William
Jasper Dibble had a great-father, eo it
is said. The old gentleman married the
widow of the Savannah monumental Jas
per, and whose cteata Georgia is about to
commemorate. The widow Jasper felt
like all other widows, that if it was not
good for man to bo alone it was much
worso for a poor unprotected female,
whose husband was killed in the war.
Oar Mr. William Jasper Dibble ha3 a
special invitation to attend the laying of
the corner stone of his dead relation’s
monument, but he’s afraid his feelings
would get the better of him at witnessing
so sad a sptotacle. We lovo him for his
tender beartedeess, but dislike for him to
Icij a freo rids.
peon tne columns of the earns paper
we learn of the insanity of a young man,
whoso life has been one round of misfoia
tones. The Recorder says:
Oar entire community wero surprised
and saddened on Tuesday afternoon to
.'■earn that Mr. Reuben H. Slappy, Jr.,
had been prononnoed insane and would
iave that nigbt in the care of friends for
the Asylum near Milledgeville.
Mr. Slappy had been reared fiom tho
days of bis boyhood by his kinsman, Ur.
3. H. Slappy, Sr., and was known by onr
people as a young farmer of sterling
qualities. His first mental aberration
was notioed in the teaiing down and re
moval of houses on his place, and in his
Wild uoslce for cattlo and stock. He
leaves home nov under the impression
that h9is en his way to Savannah where
he will make quite a purchase of horses.
Mb. Slappy is a young man and his
general health good, and our earnest
hope is that this sudden affliction which
falls with crashing weight upon the
yonng wife and two little ones will soon
he lifted by the complete restoration of
the husband.
Eastman Times: As Miss Alice Nich
olson and her little brother, Master
Samuel—daughter and son of Mr. S. C.
Nicholson of this oously, were returning
from a visit on Sunday evening last, the
horse beoame frightened and runaway.
Mi;a Alioe was Ihrown out of the baggy
behind as the horse was running, while
the little boy remained in the baggy till
lb struck a tree, when he was thrown

sot variously hart. The buggy was a
complete wreck, and it is exceedingly
fortunate that the damage did cot result
more serious.
Morning News: Last evening about
half past nine o'clock, Mr. Abraham Go-
linaki, whilst standing in front of the
ahovr window of his store, on the north-
west corner cf Bryan and Jefferson
streets, was shot in tho head and serlone-
ly wounded. The shot was fired from a
crowd in front of the barroom of R. F.
Barnes, near by, bnt whether the parties
were white or black conld not bo ascer
tained, as they immediately dispersed.
It is supposed that tho weapon waa dis
charged in a reckless manner and with
no intention cf wounding any one, but
the unfortunate result frightened the
crowd, and they retreated, Policeman
Prendiblo reaching tho ground too
late to efiost a capture. Dr. Norton,
cf Effingham county, happened to
ha in the immediate vicinity, and render
ed prompt attention to the suffering man.
Die. 8heftall and Parse ' shortly after
wards arrived, and the ball, which had
entered tho left side of the head, just be
low the temple, wa3 extracted. The
wound, though exceedingly painful, is
not considered as neceesarily fatal,though
there is no doubt bnt for the prompt ser
vices of the physicians tho results would
have been most serious.

Fzobabbe Suicide.—Coiambus Engul
rtr: Yesterday afternon the 1;tie town
fit U: ard was excit'd over an attempted
euicide. Mrs. Dollie Hollis was the rash
one. It Is said between one and two
o’clook in the afternoon, she took two
ounces of lradannm with the intention of
killing herself. Dr. McCntohins was
called in, and did all ha could for the
poor woman, but thought it almost use
less. At snpner time sho was still alive,
but "was not expected to live through the
night. The cause assigned for the act,
waa that her husband had left her.
Several reports aa to tho reason of his
leaving her are current, but it is useless
to mention thorn here.
The Enquirer is also responsible for
this:
We have been told of many intelligent
males and horses. One oase we remem
ber of a male going into a blaoksmith
shop to have a nail palled from bis foot,
is only equalled by a story of a religions
horse wo were told of yesterday. He is
owned by Mr. Alexander, of Oawichee,
Ala., who rides him to ohnrch on preach
ing days, which is twioe a month. On
other Sundays be is tnrned oat _to graze,
and it is on these days that be is so re
ligions. He gees down to the church,
stops at the tree where ho is generally
tied when thete is preaohing, and with
his he2d toward the the ohnrch remains
about an hour and a half. He then
goes leisurely home. This is a fact and
will be vonohed for by any of the people
of Oawiohee.
An exchange saya the Central Bailroad
killed a fine male the other day. This
was owing, probably, to the “Inactivity in
stock.”

Tax Chronicle and Comliuiionalist:
correspondent of the New York Times,
writing from Macon, in this State, par
'ports to give what he considers tho pe
culiar political status of the common
wealth. After showing the pancity of
Bepnblican membership in the Legisla
ture end tbo collapsed condition of the
party einoe 1870, the writer states that
there aro two reasons why there has been
of late an unusual activity among the
white EepnbiioaBB in the State, who, in
spite of popular clamor, have remained
tree to their political faith. One of these
is the approach of the Presidential elec
tion, and the other is the rise of the In-
depandent movement in this State—a
movement which has attained a strength
which must be considered in every esti
mate of State politics.
Gbiffin News : A difficulty occurred
at Williamsville, Pike county, a few days
since which came near proving serious to
some of tho parties engaged. From what
we can gather, a Mr. Stribbling—who is
a feeblo man—met np with a Mr. Turner
from Meriwether, in the former place,
when some words passed between them.
Henry Worthy, who happened to bo pre
sent, said something aboat Scribbling be
ing a weakly man. when he and Turner
got iDto trouble. Pistols were drawn, bnt
these were soon pnt up, and a regular
old fisticuff followed, 'in which Tamer
was punished rather severely, and ex
pressed himself satisfied. After this he
attacked Worthy with a knife and came
near disemboweling him. Turner was
then struck on the head with a rock in
flicting a severe scalp wound, and being
followed by titribbling turned and gave
the latter a pretty considerable thrashing.
None of the parties were seriously in
jured. This is the statement as furnished
as, and thediffionlty waa probably the
result of an old fend.
LaGbanok Reporter: In acquitting
Treasurer Kenfroe, the Senate has made
a deadly stab at pare government in onr
State. Besfrco admitted that he loaned
the Slate’s money and appropriated the
interest to bis own cse, and his only de
fense was that he did cot know it was
against the law. Ho admitted that he
charged the Northeastern Bailroad $247
for signing its bonds, whioh by law he
was required to do, as Treasurer; bnt
pleaded that other Treasurers had done
the same. He admitted the acts charged,
bat claimed that they were not oximinal.
In sustaining his claim and aoquitting
him of wrong-doing, the high court of
impeachment, the highest tribnnal known
to Georgia law, declares that ignorance
of law constitutes a valid excuse for vio
lation cf lav.

The following beautiful hues in mem
ory of tho late Mrs. T. B. Gresham,
whose death has cast such a deep sorrow
over tho broad circle of her friends,
comes from the heart of ono of Macon’s
fairest daughters, a young lady possessed
of ths rarest of all traits of geniuB, a fer
vent, expressive, poetic passion; the
words of her “Memonam” sink into the
mind as the tones of a Bwcetly chanted
hymn heard amid the shadows of some

with an exquisite tonob. The writer in

Thecityweep*. One universal grief
Pervades all hfarts with silence sad and deep,
A sorrow reigns that mocks at nil rebel,
Bid not our tears to cease, tis well to weep.
Yet why does sorrow, with her shadowy wirg
Brood o’er the air and darken all our sky?
What mean those tears that swilt unbidden
spring—
For whom Ilia requiem that the tad winds
sigh?
A spotless lily in a gardon grew,
And lent a sweetsess to the summer hour.
But soon from autumn skies a chill wind blew
And swept too rudely o’er tho fragile flower.
And death’s chill wind from out a cold gray
cloud.
Waited an iev biithing breath of doom.
And one, a lily, too, beforo it bowed.
And stricken hearts now msuru in doeDest
gloom.
Ah, chide not mourning hearts, let sad tears
flow.
All weep for her, so lovely. lost to earth,
And one who knewhernotmay still bestow
This tribute to her rare and gentle worth.
The city that she loved bewails ner death.
Who, e’er she closed her eyes in dreamless sleep.
Prayed,'God bless Macon.” with ner failing
breath.
Beloved by all, like a fair star she shone,
Enchanting all with rad lance pure and bright,

The star has 11 own, end loft a darkened space,

The New York World of Wednesday deliv
ers itself in a remarkably decisive and ex-
catheara fashion an xoilows:
It is not necessary for ns to say to New
York readers, but for the benefit or some of
our Western friends we may once inoie state
that tbe action of tne Hytacuse Clenvenuon
rm to Tammany wan deliuor.Uly oons.deied
and taken, bohudy familiar with ihe poli
tics of tbe state tuonght tha: n was tn the
p_,wer of Tammany to defeat the Democrat
ic ticket either n.w or in i83ll. certainly
nobody thinks so now Bat if ich-d b.en
thought eo and if it could have beun matho-
ins icahy demonstrated that euoh would
be Che result, none tho leas would the Dem
ocrats of New York titate have moisted on
Governor Robinson’s renocatnatiou.
In the history of every party there comes
a crisis when its members must choose be
tween abasement and independence, between
wrong and right, between expediency ana
principle, between deatu and litu.
That crisis cams thia you to the Democra
cy of New York. They mado tbe only choice
consistent with self-respect. The stop taE6n
is irrevocable. Thera is no intention to oust
Bocs Kelly from tbo control of Tammany

Tne nnftoished business was tnen ta

of tbe debate on the resolutions requir
ing the Governor to issno suits against
Benfroe and bis sureties.
The minority report of Senator Cam
ming was read, and Senater Camming
proceeded to disease the question.
He said the Honse resolution was the
expression of passion. It was created
under ciroumstanoea of passion. Tne
preB?, the country and everybody oonsid--
tied in an attack on tho Senate. The
galleries yesterday, as soon as it was
known that the oommittee would not re
port till three o’clock emptied themselves
immediately. So taking this bb an indi
cation we see that passion influenced
these people to oome here, as did the
Roman populace to witness tbe fight of
gladiatotB.
Senator Lampkin said he never in*
tended to reflect oa any one’s motives,
bnt that he did beliove that the Ssnator
made * great mistake.
Senator Camming continning said
what use is there to smirch the characters
of men who have always Btood np for
the State, who shouldered their mnskets
and fonght tor her. ( The same old song;
when will it be done.)
That it was wrong as a business propo
sition to pass the Honse resolution. It
would wound those who were sensitive
on tbe snbj sot. That any man who
would examine hia heart, he would see
that ths resolution is unnecessary.
Senator Fain said he did not think the
reaolation should be passed-
Senator Lester said that the minority
should not insist on patting the majority
in the position of saying th«y do not be
lieve that thing to be tine which they
swore to be trne last week. That to pre
vent any one from saying tbat the reso
lution is intended to reflect on the conrt
or on any individual of the court, he
would declare that snob was not his
opinion of the resolution. Why we must
instruct the Governor what to do. That
the minority shonld go about to search
up a cause of insult. No insult waa in
tended and none ought to be taken.
Senator Cabaniss opposed the resolu
tion in a speeoh of some length.
Senator Holton said he did not wish to
make a spaech,bnt tbat ho wonld call for
the previous question. The call wa3 sus
tained.

The amendment proposed by the ma
jority of the committee was adopted.
Senator Wellborn asked that tbo reaola
tion be divided. Agreed to.
The preamble wae then pnt and adopt
ed. Yeas, 24; nays, 16.
Tho body of the resolution was then
put and adopted.
Senator Welborn asked for a reconsid
eration of tho vote so as to get tbe yeas
and nays. The motion was agreed to,
and the vote stood upon the main body of
the resolution which was to teqnuethe
Governor to issue executions against
Benfroe and his aeoorites, 39 yeas to 1
(Senator MoLeod) nay, so the reaolation
was adopted.
The question was then put on tha re
port of the committee,which wa : adopted.

Keeping Potatoes.
My experience of some fifteen years is
similar to yours, given in the iesue of Aug., 7,
bnt more thorough and less trouble. AU
farmers I bavo known have granaries of
corn cribs with lath floor and sides, j U3t tho
thing to put fieeh dug potatoes into. All
kinds of fruits, grain and vegetables give off
a certa-’n amount of moUtcro after gathering,
and if they are permitted to lie in heap3 on
the floor in tbe cellar or anywhere out of a
circulation of air, will keep wet, which tends
to produce decay. Hy practice is to dig po
tatoes wbsn the ground is dry; pick tbem np
ss dug; keep lh3m covered, by a blanket,
from the sun while inwsgon, and place them
on 'ho lath in my corn b.’n, about 18 inches
thick, and leave them thera until fear of
freezing, when they are placed in bins in tha
cellar. The air ooming up from beneath
keeps thorn psrfcctly d y. One fall it was
late when I dug them and I thought it was
so near the time to pxt them in tne seller I
wonld take tbem there directly. Ia a few
days I found they wore decaying; I took
them out, and put them ia my corn crib and
they dried off anl did not rot afterwards.

Cologne cathedral is at length near
completion, and August next year will
see it finished. Begun in tho very midst
of the “ages of faub,” when monarchs
beggared themselves to raiso magifioent
structures, of which only picturesque
rains now remain for the world to look
at, thia extraordinrry temple lagged be
hind all contemporaries in tho work of
construction, saw them reach their ma
ture glory, decline and sink to rain, itself
being all the time an unfinished fabrio.
The first stone of the Cologne oathedral
was laid In 1248, when the grand odifioes
now left, perfect or rained, ia Europe
were either just finished, or, like Notre
Dame, in Paris, were in rapid progress;
bnt: while the moss elaborate of them
took only three oanturio9 to bring to per
fection, Cologne has absorbed more than
donble tho time. It took nearly three
centuries to complete their choir, and
sinee that date it has required liberal aid
from nearly all tho sovereigns cf Errope
to keep the construction going. What
now remains to ba dona is the las', stag a
and crowning deooration of the sUteiy
towers.

The fever on the Stock Exchange is

Erie is still the great “card,” and tbe
average buyer or specnlator in tbo same
moves in blissfnl ignorance of why it has
advanced from 23) to 42 in tho space of
five woeks. Mr. Vanderbilt’s pares is
generally conceded to ba at the bottom
of tbe great rise, yet nothing official is
known that such is the case. The nearest
we can oome to it is that last summer
Mr. Norvell, of the Commercial Advertiser
when in London, cabled his paper tue
faot that the English holders of Erie
would probably place Me. Vanderbilt id
charge of the road. Mr. Vanderbilt was
thenm London, and it is pretty oertiin
that something was then talked of for
oarrying out jnst what Mr. Norvell cauled
would be done. Little was though’ cf
the announcement at the time, as few be
lieved it, yet evidently this very thing
ia now in coarse of consummation. In

Road the following testimonial:
Some years ago X was seriously affected
with ehronio and nervous dyspepsia to such
an extent that my health was much im
paired. So rapid was the advanoe of this insidi
ous complaint that I soon felt that my constitu
tion vrai broken. After suffering for several
yesrs I was advised to try Simmons’ Liver Reg
ulator but declined because I had conceived it to
be “only a patent medicine.” At length, believ
ing it could do no harm, I yielded. In a few
months I became not only relieved: but abso
lutely cured and for two years post I have been
thoroughly restored to health and enjoyment cf
1.100k upon the Regulator as a most excellent
have received from the use of the Regulator.
