CITY TOPICS.
Our banks are now furnishing abund
ant capital for the movement of cotton.
Notwithstanding the rainy weather,
cotton came in pretty lively all over the
country yesterday.
The pavement on Washington street,
at the Medical College, is sadly in need
of repair.
The cotton crop of 1874, as calculat
ed by the New Orleans Cotton Ex-*j
change, was 3,827,845 bales.
The man who made a murderou as
sault on Jno. Callahan, at Judge King’s
farm, has been captured aud is now in
jail.
It rained yesterday off and on all day,
and last night several hard showers,
cooled the ail* and the ardor of the
dust.
Could not the weeds on the Parade
Ground be cut down? As cool weather
approaches the military resumo their
parades and drills on that classic
ground, and of course will require a
clear space for their manoeuvres.
Stilts are now becoming the rage
with the juveniles. Several colored
youngsters, yesterday, on one of the
principal cross streets near Broad,while
practicing proved to be quite an ob
struction on the sidewalk to pedestri
ans.
According to the Weather Bureau,
the total rainfall from September 10th
to 16th was 18 hundredth inches; high
est temperature, 95 degrees, on the
12th; lowest, 60 degrees, on the 13th;
average, 74:7 degrees; same time last
year, 76:9 degrees ; and it would have
been lower still this year, had it not
been so dreadfully warm two or three
days, during the week.
It was affecting to witness an old
mule, apparently overcome, by “Dar
ling I am Growing Old,” as played by
the Warrenton Band at the Globe Hotel
corner yesterday evening. He was
ready to lay down and die, when some
unfeeling wretch yelled “oats” in his
ear, and that is the last we have seen
of him.
Weather Review.
We are indebted to Mr. H. Bessant,
observer in charge of the signal service
bureau at this point, for a copy of the
monthly weather review for August.
The rain-fall was heavier than for
August, 1874. The number of cloudy
days in the South Atlantic States were
4.2. The rainy days was above the
average everywhere except in the
northwest. In the South Atlantic
States there were 14.4. The heaviest
rain-fall was in Gainesville, beiDg 7.62.
The prevailing winds were southerly.
The total movement of the air was
about 4,540 miles for the South Atlan
tic States on an average, and for Au
gusta 2,159 miles. The average verifi
cation for all the districts predicted
was 91.14 per cent.
Frosts, heavy and light, occurred in
the Northern and Western States from
the middle until the latter part of the
month.

Our Country Cousins.
Yesterday a large excursion party
arrived from points aleng the Georgia
Railroad. They proceeded to the City
Hall, to the tune of delightful music,
furnished by the Warrenton and
Thomson bands. After arriving at the
City Hall, they took possession, and as
there was a multitude of pretty young
ladies among the party, the town boys
went down to pay their respects. At
intervals during the day, both bands
made the hours swiftly fly, by strains
from “Silver Threads” to operatic
“Maritana,” and the day was delight-
passed by the excursion party.
The Warrenton band marched through
the city and serenaded quite a number
of our citizens. Their music was real
ly splendid. The excursion party re
turned home by the regular passenger
train last night.

ON THE WING!
Sport To-Day—Pigean Shooting at the
Fair Grounds —Crack Shots —No Pool
Selling.
To-day will be a lively one at the
Fair Grounds. Twelve of our crack
shots will try it on the wing, and of the
result much peculation has been in
dulged in, but no pools were bet or
rather sold. And here we would re
mark, that we are requested to state
that an erroneous rumor aud impression
has been prevalent that pools would
be sold, so as as to allow persons of dif
ferent opinions to substantiate their
opinions. The members objected to
pools being sold, and therefore they
were not sold last nighfc at the Augusta
Hotel. Fine sport is promised to-day
and, from what we hear of the marks
men, an exciting contest will be in
order. There will be 12 members of
the club to shoot, and each has ten
pigeons to try his skill on. One hund
red and fifty pigeons have been
provided in case ties should oc
cur. The shooting will commence at
4 o’clock at the Fair Grounds, and the
ladies are most respectfully invited to
add zest to the occasion by their pres
ence. The following are the members
who will participate iu the contest: J.
K. Evans, Byron Holly, J. D. Cole, W.
E. Scofield, G. N. Garvin, B. D. Jones,
W. H. Jones, F. K. Huger, J. W. Thay

Jeff' Long on the W r ar Path —He Calls a
Convention to Meet in Augusta on
17tli of October.
The notorious Jeff Long, a person of
color and a member of Congress from
the Eighth District, is primed, spur
red, mounted and heeled, and ready
for vengeance. Jeff has a restless
spirit, and if he don’t mind it will
get him into trouble yet, much
more than he has experienced in
the past. Now, Jeff is a tan col
ored darkey, and was formerly right
hand of the fugitive insurrectionary
negro, Jos. Morris, and likely there
lingers in the heart of Jeff a fond af
fection for Joseph—at least his last
move would so indicate. Now, Morris
is about what Bob Toombs would call
the double distilled essence of all that
an abundance of ipecac would purge
hell of, and very naturally he’s just
such a man as a minister of the gospel
wouldn’t like to have anything to do
with. Therefore, Jeff Long ought
to keep his hands out of this
odorous sugar dish, otherwise the
exceeding sweetness might have a
bad effect .on his constitution,
and then there is no knowing what
might follow. Jeff has gotten up a cir
cular addressed to all the colored peo
ple in this section of the country, call
ing on them to assemble in Augusta on
the 17th of next October, to discuss the
late insurrection and see that justice
is done their race, which the circular
says has not heretofore been accorded
in regard to this insurrection bCsinoss.
The document is also numerously
signed by other negroes, but we doubt
if the call will bring 100 negroes
together. They are tired of these meet
ings, and they have seen the folly
and danger of following Morris and
his infernal colleagues, aud likely there
is a faint scent of Morris about the
carcass of Jeff, aud this is not relished
much at this writing by the colored
people. They had better stay on their
farms and attend to their business in
stead of coming here to have evil coun
sel given them by Jeff Long and his
associates, and likely they know this by
this time.
THE POST OFFICE REMOVAL.
To Be Removed to Corner of Ellis and
Mclntosh Streets—A New Building.
At last the question of the removal
of the post office is settled, and it will
be removed. Yesterday Postmaster
Prince received from the postal author
ities at Washington authority to accept
the offer of Dr. Doughty, which is to
build anew building on the corner of
Ellis and Mclntosh streets, where Puck
ett’s meat house used to be located.
Dr. Doughty’s offer was to erect a
house, suitable to the requirements of
the department, and the new building
will have a front on Ellis street of 90
feet aud a front on Mclntosh street of
45 feet. The department will at once
conclude the terms of a lease with Dr.
Doughty, and his building will be
leased for ten years at an annual ren
tal of $1,500 per year. It is optional
with him to have it one or two stories
high, but likely he will build it two
stories high. It would be a splen
did place for a ball. What the
cost of the building will be
is not known. Dr. Doughty will com
mence building in a month or two likely,
as his contract is, to have the building
ready by the Ist of January, 1876, by
which time the department will require
its use, and the Post Office will not
likely be removed before that time.
The location selected was considered
the most central for the masses, but
undoubtedly the present one is far
more accommodating for the majority
of business men.
The Poullain building, as a central
location, was preferred to any other
offered, but it was too small, and the
rent asked ($2,000 per annum) was con
sidered more than the Department felt
justified in paying. The building at
present occupied was not liked, al
the owners proposed to fix it up in
first class style. It was considered
rather small also, and thus the removal
is a settled fact, but it will be over
three months yet before it takes place.
Second Contest of the 11. 11. C.
Early as 6 o’clock yesterday morning
the members of the Club were on the
ground, and though the morning looked
anything but cheerful, nevertheless a
smile was evidently being passed
around as the boys listened to the par
allel of “John Gilpins liide” which one
of their Club was just after eomsuma
ting.
About twenty minutes before six a
young gent wended his way up Broad
street riding a sprightly horse. Around
the rider could be seen a large target,
a piece of scantling about ten feet
long, a box of cartridges, and a Spring
field rifle. Having entire confidence in
the gentleness of the nag he set off in
a canter. The wind was just blowing
enough to hoist the old target like a
jibboon sail, everything got to jostling
around and off the horse started. Let
me here remark, in justice to the horse,
that there are few animals in town who
can skin over a mile in faster time.
Old John Robinson could not produce
a more side-splitting scene than the
runaway. The rider trying to hold on
the target, gun, etc., at the same time
clutching tho saddle as it was the
last seat this side the “Iron Works,”
with coat tail standing erect, and
hat lost in the distance, the young
sport dashed up Harrisburg Road at
at lightning speed. Finding it impos
sible to check the ungovernable horse,
he (involuntarily, we must say) dropped
the encumbrance of the sail, &c., suc
ceeded in reining up at Harrisburg
Bridge.
If Macaplay’s New Zealander was
there, he could see. if not the prophe
sied ruin, the ruin of the youth’s antici
pations of pleasure at the practice of
the Rifle Club.
The Club had a splendid practice,
and though the weather was very un
favorable for shooting, they made an
admirable score.
On the 200 yard range Mr. John A.
Bohler, Jr., was the victor, having made
16 points out of a possible 20. On the
300 yards range there were three ties.
All the members of the Club shot re
markably well, having made from 12 to
15 points each at both ranges.
Another contest will take place early
next week, when we anticipate some
fine shooting.

The Philosophy of Disease. —The
philosophy of disease is a subject which
is well worthy the attention of man
kind, but is, unfortunately, more gen
erally neglected, than any other under
heaven. Decidedly the most important
fact that an examination of P discloses
is that, in nine cases out of ten, the
originating causes of disease is debil
ity, either general or local, and that the
earliest manifestations of its approach
are identical with those which evidence
a lack of vital power. Such being the
case, it is perfectly clear that tonic
treatment is what is required In the
first instance. As an invigorant, Hos
tetter’s Stomach Bitters has received
the most positive endorsement from
eminent physicians, and has long oc
cupied a foremost rank among standard
proprietary remedies. Its properties
as an alterative of disordered condi
tions of the stomach, liver and bowels,
and a preventative of malarial diseases,
are no less renowned, and have been
accorded professional recommendation

WEEKLY REVIEW OF !THE AU
GUSTA MARKET}!.
Constitutionalist Ch oice, !
6 o’clock P. M„ September 17, 1875. j
Remarks. j[
The past week has furnishes!; abundance
of evidence to show the prefaising con
dition of the country. Trade 9:as fine, and
is daily improving in all branesf.es, and the
declining tendency ot' cott nl *s no effect
whatever on the other markets. As has
been anticipated, the outlook? now is as
promising as the nustsanguiifit could have
expected, and as a gradual increase iu busi
ness is noted it also brings [ with it the
foundation of a prosperity thip. cannot be
disturbed by every little wl'iifle ot wind
blown from the North an t[ West. Our
farmers are now, com paratively speaking,
in an independent position, mveh more so
than they have been for a nunjber of years,
and notwithstanding the gnlat hobby of
Northern and Western co|rospondents
about our destitution, (;.porgia to
day is in a better condition than
she lias been since the Wv>r, and un
like that of former years'* this state
of affairs is stable. It is built; jin a founda
tion of economy, the production of home
consumption to a larger exteV.t than ever
before, and almost entire cash transactions.
We do not, and will not this jj tar. witness
farmers asking credit immediately after
harvest, and with nothing to )..o upon save
what is furnished by the merchant at ruin
ous rates, so it would appeal! (that at last
have they come to appreciate? the disaster
consequent upon the production of too
much cotton and no home necessities; and
although as we have before t p-marked, one
season will not entirely lift ttiftn out of the
mire, it will give them thepoi er to extri
cate themselves in another yfiar or two, by
a continuation of the course now be
gun. If the same polic;j that has
been begun is kept up, ’lt may be
safely estimated that, in- • two years
the West will ceaso to sen’! her wheat
here for our consumption. ; Wb will then
have no use for Kentucky, Tennessee and
other State stock, meats, ois :in !act any
thing in the domestic line. One thing no
ticeable this season is that mere attention
has been paid to the cultivation of hav, and
this is one of tne most remunerative of
crops, and needs but little attention iu cul
tivation. The same may beisaidof oats,
and, as experienced farmers ted us, an acre
planted in oats will bring moFfimonev than
an acre of cotton. It is verylhard for old
cotton planters to make themVelves believe
this, and this very thing is \fihat has par
tially ruined the country, but fhis season a
change is noticeable, and with happy re
sults. We trust this course wil be pursued
hereafter. i
Nothing is doing in financia circles, and
the money market is comparatively easy.
The meat market is vory fii in, with light
stocks. Business in this line*is good, and
the market is liable to advance at anytime.
It will hardly be lower for time to
come. '{
Flour is firm with light stock.
City Mills supplies to a grev. t extent the
trade which is altogether for Consumption.
The grain market has been Ajtive, especi
ally wheat. The probabilities are that
wheat will advance to much |s£gher figures
than the present, but this cannot be posi
tively said. At present whea f |is very firm,
and choice lots sell easily at !j;|.so. Fluctu
ations may be expected. Thi* ’present crop
in England is poor, and full if one month’s
consumption will have to be imported more
than last year. Exports froiiif America are
much heavier so far this y<ir than last,
and are likely to continue so < The crop in
this country is below the aveii .ge general
ly. In California it is excellent, and the
yield is much above that of l&jt yetu*.
Oats remains firm and a 1 good article
commands ready sale. Corn? is dull and
has declined from 3to 5 cents* Prime lots
are chieily sought after, anil mixed and
partially damaged is very dull w th no de
mand. One feature of tne trifle is deserv
ing of special notice. TherQ is a fine do
mand for seed grain, wdiicli* shows that
farmers intend planting mor< ‘than hereto
fore, and the demand is raudi' earlier than
usually, which is another heathy sign, lt
is estimated that fully twice its much grain
will be planted the coming season as there
nas been since the war, and merchants re
port farmers all investing ite large lots of
seed grain. Such being tne else, unuoubt
edly expectations will proye correct, and
next year will see our farmers established
on an independent basis, t.a?d thereafter
prosperity is a certain fact, djorn meal has
fallen 5 cents. i|
Bagging and Ties are soii|jwhat active
with a declining tendency. -
The general grocery mark; | is dull, as it
always is at this season. 1 is improving,
however. Fruits are advancing.
Suggar and coffee and otiu *’ staples are
firmer, witli the former very: Arm.
Quito a number of Kentucky; mules have
parsed through here, but the; market here
calls for no demand at presets.
There is a good supply of jive stock, of
medium quality. The tobacco ma* ket re
mains unchanged, witli lowejf grades a lit
tle firmer. |
The dry goods market Infs brightened
up, and trade is now reported active.
Owing to the declining tendency of cotton
goods, they are more sougft after, and
the excess of stocks in New fork, coupled
with the embarrassed state o* the Eastern
manufactories, will keep the Market down.
Merchants arc very careful in buying,
and large stocks are not [sought for,
but rather specialities, ; which will
be the principal feature of (the Fall trade.
The manufacture of these ifpccialitios is
now the only relief for East(-|n manufacto
ries that have been for some lime past idle,
and consequently they are f he life of the
trade. It is hardly s lie, as let, to predict
fora certainty what trade vjill be, but we
think it will be compara*ijely light, al
though some merchants are'of a different
opinion. Specialities and liheap cotton
goods will no doubt rule t’n \ market. Of
the former our merchant-* have heavy
stocks. f
Taken altogether, trade if fine and in a
healthy condition, audit Unsteadily im
proving from day to day. 1
Financial, j
In financial circles money .i t easy. With
in the past week about $10U,5)00 have been
received to facilitate the mo vement of cot
ton. AU of the banks are offing their ut

The Course of Cotton.”
[From the New York Bulletin, Sep. 14 ]
An entire absence of excitement has
again characterized the general market,
and at times the position was quite stupid.
The gain for the week has been almost en
tirely with the buyer, and, with the excep
tion of one or two small and unimportant
issues, the influences are much the same as
before noted. All the advices from the
South have tended to confirm the reports
of thedavorable condition of the crop, and
the attention of operators has been turned
toward gaining such information as would
be likely to indicate the rapidity with which
planters will be likely to market their
product. In a few quarters there is an ex
pression of belief that during this month
the supplies will run behind as compas ed
with last year, but the majority of opinions
seem to favor full arrivals, especially as
the receipts at the ports have already com
menced to assume very fair proportions.
In the meantime, the demand has been
moderate and cautious, with stocks falling
away much less rapidly, and constant calls
from the South inviting proposals on cot
ton to arrive. The “bear” tone, in fact, has
continued very perceptible, without, how
ever, developing into any “raid,” and opera
tors generally wanting to soe a little more
cotton actually available before selling the
market off too freely.
“Spots” have moved out slowly, and in
a more or less irregular manner, with the
tone weak and prices generally on the
downward turn for alt grades. Exporters
have been ruled out • ntirely by the absence
of the least word of encouragement from
abroad, and the unsaleable condition of
exchange. Nothing was required on
speculative account, and the demand has,
in consequence, come entirely from spin
ners. Buyers on this latter outlet were in
different in all cases, and handled nothing
except upon the basis of the most imper
ative necessity, and displayed a desire to
make a close selection. Borne of the very
desirable grades, in vLw of the natural
scarcity on the roduced and broken assort
ment, have been made to command figures,
where buyers were particularly anxious;
but this was rare, and anything off in qual
ity very frequently could be reached at
something under the current daily quota
tions. Indeed, holders have, as a rule, been
more anxious to operate than buyers, and
offerings were in excess of the outlet. New
cotton is expected soon, with an apparent
belief that the increase of stock will be
steady and sure, and as the letters at hand
from the South offer parcels to arrive at
lower figures, and solicit further bids, it
has boon deemed prudent to sell when op
portunity admitted.
On contracts there Is not much to say.
The general tendency has been downward,
and on all months a decline is established,
partly under pressure of orders from the
South to sell. The apparently prosperous
condition of the crop, gradually swelling
receipts at the ports, and the absence of
anytldng like good healthy vitality on the
consumptive demand either at home or
abroad have been the weights upon the
market..and of so widespread a character,
that nothing but tho growing caution even
among speculative operators chould have
at one time prevented a serious break.
Toward the close of tho week the
sharp upward turn on gold appeared to
frighten a few “shorts,” especially those
working on small margins, and as nearly
all could discover a little profit, there was
a slight l-ush to cover. This of course gave
the “bulls” an advantage, the moderate re
actions took place from the lowest points,
but wore with difficulty sustiined, even
though Liverpool was also reported as
stiffening after having sold down to 7d.
September has shown just a trifle greater
strength than the later months, as a few
operators believe there is still a chance of
supplies proving short at just the time
they will be wanted for contracts.
