MINOR LOCALS.
Bishop Gross arrived in town yester
day and is the guest of the pastor of
St. Patrick’s.
Matt. O’Brien has placed on our table
No. 1 of a neat little advertising paper
entitled the Georgia Railroad Journal.
There was a rumor that a negro had
committed suicide by cutting his
throat, last evening, near the Union
Depot, but enquiry failed to verify
the rumor.
We regret to learn of the serious
illness of Mr. John W. Marshall, for
sometime past, assistant operator in the
office of the Southern and Atlantic
Telegraph Company in this city. His
sister has arrived from Savannah, his
home, and she will give him that care
and attention which only affection for
the loved one can.
Fruits of All Kinds.
E. A. Massa, Jackson street, has just
received a large lot of luscious Florida
orauges of fine flavor ; also a lot of
Northern apples, of anew variety and
the first of the kind ever shipped to
this market. He also has a large lot
of bananas and malaga grapes, the lat
ter of the finest quality.
Duprez & Benedict.
We had a call yesterday from Mr.
Laine, Agent of the above famous min
strel troupe. He informs us that the
troupe, as now organized, is better than
when last here, so from this fact, all
may know what to expect. The pressall
over the country pronounce Durez &
Benedict’s as the best traveling, aud no
doubt they are. They will be here on
Saturday 16th, and next week the sale
of reserved seats will commence Go
early if you would secure a good seat.
“ Brudder ” Turner.
It requires considerable courage to
publicly acknowledge an error, but we
have to appear in that role. We stated
recently, that Hon. J. B. Deveaux, of
Jones county, was the loudest voiced
man in Georgia, but after listening to
Rev. H. M. Turner, L. L. D., in his
“ nigger ! nigger ! nigger !” speech, it
must be admitted Mr. Deveaux cannot
hold a candle to Dr. Turner. It is sur
prising how a man can raise his voice
when there is a scheme to advocate, in
which there is a prospective placer.
Epizootic.
This disease, which raged so a few
years ago at the North, and wjiich
seems to have again appeared there,
has also made its appearance here.
Quite a number of the horses in the
public stables have it, though it seems
to be of a very mild type. None of the
animals as yet are sick enough to be
relieved from work, and some are get
ting over it.
We trust, and have no doubt, the
disease will give very little trouble if
persons are careful not to over drive
or work the animal that shows symp
toms. With attention, most horses in
this climate seem to recover in about
eight or ten days.
The Jewish Fast.
The Day of Atonement or “Yom
Kipur,” commenced last evening at
sunset, and will end at sunset this
evening. It is a very sacred festival
with our Hebrew population, and the
fast is literally observed by both sexes
after they have attained the age of
thirteen years, and food and water are
not partaken for the space of twenty
four hours, the entire day being de
voted to fasting, prayer, atonement
and repentance. It is customary
among the Israelites, before the Day of
Atonement, to make reparation to
those whom they may have injured,
and ask pardon of those whom they
may have offended, believing that a
transgression of the divine command
will be forgiven by true repentance;
but one against his fellowmen can only
be atoned for by receiving lius pardon.
At the Synagogue on Telfair street,
Rabbi Levison conducted the services
last evening, which consisted of impres
sive penitential prayers and confes
sions The Psalms of David, replete
with supplications for mercy and par
don were chanted by the choir, accom
don, were e and the eloquent
Jsrael, were read in Hebrew.
THE COLORED CONVENTION.
“Boss” Turner and Jeff Long Winc
ing—Explanation of Turner’s New'
Company with $1,000,000 Capital-
Thanks to Judge Johnson Quali
fied —The Federal Office-Holders
Overhauled—Jeff Long Still Waving
the Bloody Shirt —“Compliments” to
the Constitutionalist.
At 9:40 a. m. yesterday, President
Long rapped upon the desk in the
County Court room and called the con
vention to order.
An elderly man was called upon to
open the proceedings by prayer, which
he did in a most feeling manner, totally
avoiding any allusion to politics. At
this period of the proceedings, about
two-thirds of the delegates were in
their seats, and an air of listlessness
prevailed, as “Boss” Turner was ab
sent. In the lobby, but few persons
were present,among whom were several
whites, and they appeared to be only
drawn thither by a spirit of curiosity.
The minutes were read and after
some discussion adopted.
Delegate White offered a motion, that
all speeches be restricted to five
minutes. He, in common with the ma
jority of the delegates w r as tired of list
ning to
LONG WINDED SPEECHES,
but wanted the work accomplished so
that the convention might soon ad
journ. After a slight discussion the
fifteen minute rule was adopted.
Delegate Belcher called up the regu
lar order of business, stating that in his
opinion it was the vote of thanks to
Judge Johnson and Mr. Akerman. De
bate arose, and Mr. Belcher amended his
action by moving that tfre resolutions
be taken from the table and adopted.
Carried.
The Secretary read the resolutions.
Hon. Mr. Deveaux, of Jones county,
withdrew his opposition to the resolu
tions, but should vote “nay” on their
final adoption.
E. R. Deveaux lauded the action
of Mr. Akerman for his courageous ac
tion in defending the colored prisoners
at Sandersville. It was a matter of re
gret that any delegate had given forth
to the world that there was opposition
from a single man to these resolutions
of thanks. He opposed that portion of
the resolutions which thanked Judge
Johnson, especially in the shape they
came before the convention. If the
resolutions were adopted as a whole
the convention would be looked upon
as
COMPOSED OF MEN OF SMALL CALIBRE
and lacking in intelligence. He offered
an amendment, qualifying the resolu
tion, to the effect that it was a matter
of regret that he charged the jury that
no acts of violence had been committed
against the colored people.
The previous question was called,
and the amendment was adopted. The
original resolutions were called up and
adopted, Mr. Belcher disclaiming their
parentage.
Delegate Turner now put in an ap
pearance.
Delegate Belcher called up the reso
lutions relative to
LUKEWARM REPUBLICANS.
Delegate White protested against
any outside matter being brought be
fore the convention. The call for the
convention was simply to protest
against the charge that the colored
men of Georgia were -banded together
against the interests of the whites. Do
nothing but what the convention was
called together to do.
SLIGHTLY SARCASTIC.
Hon. Mr. Deveaux (sotto voce ) —
“That’s a reflection upon the intelli
gence of the convention.” He then
offered the following resolutions:
Whereas, One of the main objects of the
Convention, judging from its deliberations
of yesterday, is to beslaver with uudis
tinguishing adulation certain men for sim
ple performance of their duty; and,
VVlmreas, The movers of these resolu
tions seem actuated by the sole motive of
bestowing windy ana unmerited compli
ments in cases where men have acted solely
in accordance with the simple convictions
of right; and,
Whereas, Numerous worthy and distin
guished men of our own acquaintance, un
mentioued in these resolutions, have equal
claims to honesty and sincerity of pur
pose, the course of and a strict adherence
to the promptings of duty, action which
they have hitherto pursued.
Be it Resolved, That the thanks of this
convention are hereby extended to Hon.
ltobert Toombs, whose fidelity to his prin
ciples no one will question, and whose per
tinacity in their advocacy all will concede;
to Hon. Ben Hill, whose feats as a political
acrobat are the wonder of an admiring
country, and whose consistency in follow
ing out a course of conduct he seems to
have adopted to lend the influence of his
talents and eloquence in advocating and
elucidating every side of every public
question we are so well acquainted with;
to that Christian soldier and statesman,
Gen. John B. Gordon, who has been equally
an ornament in the Senate and in the field,
and whose speeches have indisputably
proved to Northern audiences and the
Northern press the existence of a spirit of
fraternal feeling and brotherly love be
tween the two races in the South, which can
find a parallel only in the millennium of the
future; and last, but not least, to Gov. J. E.
Brown, w T hose profound sincerity, freedom
from dissimulation and inflexible adher
ence to principle, uninfluenced by even the
strongest promptings of interest, have won
the acclamations of both parlies and all
classes of people.
Delegate E. R. Deveaux moved the
adoption of the resolutions, especially
the one relative to Bob Toombs and
added that
REV. MR. TURNER COULD GO OUT TO LIBERIA
as chaplain and quell the insurrection
there. The resolutions were referred
to the Committee on Resolutions and
Address.
The matter of lukewarm Republi
cans was brought up again by Delegate
Belcher, who, in a speech of considera
ble power ard eloquence, called atten
tion to the
• ABUSES
under which the colored people suffer
ed in having men appointed to Federal
office who were former enemies of the
colored people, especially,naming Brim
berry and the so-called Siamese twins
—the brothers Clark. Such men were
a disgrace to any party, who are good
Republicans in Washington and almost
decline to hold conversation with a
colored man in the South.
Delegate Turner tried to choke off
the charges made by Mr. Belcher, on
the ground that it was political matter.
The convention however voted to give
Mr. Belcher an extra ten minutes. Af
ter Mr. Belcher had finished, Turner
rose again and the President an
nounced: “The gentleman from Bibb,”
but someone saying, “he is from Chat
ham,” the President added: “Well our
brother moves around so much he is
almost like a carpet-bagger.”
“Boss” Turner did not want any po
litical discussion. The President’s gavel
was used pretty frqply as delegates in
terrupted the speaker with questions.
He, (Turner) added, that he had been
misrepresented by the Constitutional
ist because it stated he said oath
makers’ had made affidavits with pis
tols at their heads, when he simply
said, he if had been told so.”
Delegate Pledger called attention to
the abuses of the Federal officials in
Northeastern Georgia, who made friv
olous arrests simply to get extortionate
fees. He implored the delegates to
show their manhood by passing the re
solutions of censure, so that the Gen
eral Government might understand
that the colored men wanted proper
leaders.
At this juncture of affairs, the lobbies
were crowded, mostly with colored
men, who appeared to be en rapport
with the speaker's charges, judging
from the applause which they gave.
Delegate Turner moved to indefinite
ly postpone the whole matter, but no
one seconded the motion.
Delegate Pledger resumed, and said
such men as Jack Brown were pressing
forward for public advancement, and
had even offered the speaker the posi
tion of storekeeper—
Delegate Turner (interruptihg)— “For
God’s sake desist.” Mr. Pledger sat
down.
Hon. Mr. Deveaux
ARRAIGNED THE ADMINISTRATION
for the manner in which the interest of
the Republican party was sacrificed;
no black man could get a position
except one on a par with a scullion.
The previous question on taking the
resolutions of censure from the table
was passed, and the convention declin
ed to take them from the table.
Delegate J. H. Deveaux offered a
resolution that the matter of the
FEDERAL OFFICE-HOLDERS
be referred to the State Central Com
mittee, where it properly belonged. Car
ried.
Delegate Turner drew the attention
of the Convention to an editorial in the
Constitutionalist which referred to
him. He disclaimed being a turbulent
character; had never advocated dis
turbances, but had worked for the
elevation of his race and was going to
Africa, and will ask the State of Geor
gia to iucorporte a company with a
million of dollars capital for emigra
tion purposes. Was only seeking the
moral and intellectual elevation of his
race, and did not intend to wofk against
the white man. Out of the thousands
of speeches the speaker made, no such
turbulent spirit could be found in
them.
President Long then left the chair,
and, taking the floor, said it was a sur-.
prise to him, a native Georgian and a
slave up to the war, that he should be
attacked in the editorial columns of the
Constitutionalist. Had been trusted
by his master during the war, and was
left in possession of a stock of goods
worth ten thousand dollars. Had tend
ed sick Confederate soldiers, and had
never shown a spirit of hate towards a
white man. The colored man could
not be driven from the land, but with
the cross in one baud and the bible in
the other, would stay in the South. He
wandered into the usual stale argu
ment about Ku Klux, etc. He advised
the colored men, in a body, to leave all
the so-called insurrectionist counties.
[“Hurrah for Jeff Long!” cried many
voices.] Had nothing to say about the
African emigration scheme, but thought
the colored men should go somewhere
where ho would be protected in his
rights. If the people of Georgia do not
act different, the
BLACK LABOR WILL LEAV E THE STATE.
In two years from now, unless things
change, the
COTTON WAREHOUSES WOULD LOOK THIN.
“God bles3 the white people, and
may they do better ! ” said the speaker
in conclusion.
Hon. J. B. Deveaux offered a resolu
tion protesting against the treatment
extended toward Hon. Tunis G. Camp
bell—a political persecution—and re
commending measures to aid him in
his defence.
Delegate Belcher said it was a
DISGRACE TO THE EXECUTIVE
of the State of Georgia to assist in
the persecution of the old man Camp
bell, and proved that the only reason
why Gov. Smith did not act as a ty
rant was because the laws restrained
him.
The following resolution was offered
and tabled :
Whereas, An editorial appears in to-days
issue of the Constitutionalist charging
Hons.J. F. Long and H. M. Turner of enter
taining and fomenting bad feeling against
the whites.
Resolved, That in view of the personal ex
planations elicited from those gentlemen
by that charge, we respectfully request
that that error be corrected.
COMMITTEE ON OUTRAGES.
A report was made from the commit
tee appointed to examine into the alleg
ed insurrection, which was accom
panied by a number of affidavits, that
were read. The report was one of a
character which for its basis commenc
ed by arranging the Bourbon Demo
cracy, and was of the usual bloody shirt
order, murders, Klu-Kiux outrages etc.,
and giving a li3t of the arms distribut
ed by order of Governor Smith to the
militia organizations, to show what a
small amount of arms had been issued
to colored men.
The report was adopted.
AFTER THE NEWSPAPERS.
Delegate Turner took exception to
certain remarks of some of the dele
gates from Bibb county, who wanted it
noted that colored men were drawn as
jurors in 4heir county. “Boss” Tur
ner thought it strange to defend a
county which contained such a bitter
paper as the Macon Telegraph. Gov.
Smith should be made to tremble in
his chair ; it was no time for laughter,
but the subject matter was one to draw
the closest attention of every colored
man.
EDUCATIONAL.
Delegate W. J. White offered the fol
lowing resolution :
Whereas, There was at the last session
ofour State Legislature an effort made,
through the recommendation and solicita
tion of Gov. Smith and State School Com
missioner Gustavus Orr, to repeal the law
which was passed by the legislators of
1872, making an appropriation of SB,OOO per
annum to the Atlanta University, an educa
tional institution established for the
especial benelit of the colored youth of our
State, and when, as it is well known, that
this said appropriation was made and so
accepted by the colored people of the State
to satisfy the demands of said colored citi
zens to an equal participation in the bene
fits accruing from the donation of lands
made to the State by the United States
Government for educational purposes; and
Whereas, The Governor of the State did,
by turning over the entire proceeds from
said public lands to the State University at
Athens, Ga., an institution established and
used exclusively for white students, into
which colored students are not and will not
be admitted; and whereas, through the
effort to get the law making this appropri
ation repealed at the last meeting of the
General Assembly, failed to meet the ap
proval of the said body, yet it is known
that it is contemplated to make another
effort next year to have this law repealed;
therefore be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of this Con
vention that the said appropriation having
been made by the State as a settlement of
the question invdfved in the landscrip mat
ter, and which settlement was accepted in
good faith by the colored citizens of Geor
gia, it would be an act of injustice and bad
faith on the part of the State Legislature.
Resolved, further, That we earnestly re
quest the General Assembly not to repeal
said law, as it would not only deprive the
colored citizens of the just share of State
funds for educational uurpo os, but will
also increase the feeling of uneasiness, dis
content and mistrust that recent events
have so extensively produced among our
people.
Resolved, further, That a certified copy of
this preamble and resolutions be furnished
by the Secretary of this Convention to the
Governor of the State, the State School
Commissioners and tho Chairman of the
Committees on Education of the Senate
and House of Representatives. Adopted.
REPORT ON ADDRESS AND RESOLUTIONS.
Delegate Turner, from the Commit
tee on Resolutions, made a lengthy re
port. The report stated that a report
having been raised on the 20th of Au
gust that the colored people of Middle
Georgia were banded together for in
surrectionary purposes, that not a sin
gle first-class white man on the witness
stand sustained such a report; deny
ing the charge in toto, condemning the
incarceration of seventy-nine colored
men tried in Washington county, and
two hundred in other counties, calling
for the punishment of the authors of
the report, denouncing the so-called in
surrectionary report as a conspiracy
against the colored people, praising
Judge Johnson, claiming equal rights
with white men, calling for protection
through the laws of the State, and re
commending the colored people to
leave the insurrectionary districts. The
report was adopted.
GENEROUS SUBSCRIPTIONS.
A statement was made that a sub
scription for funds to defray expenses
resulted in $1 being subscribed by the
Post Office and 40 cents by the Revenue
Office of Augusta.
CARRY THE NEWS TO TURNER.
E. R. Deveaux asked Brother Turner
if he had heard lately from Liberia,
which brought out a long-Rinded speech
from the great emigratoi. and he said
he was tired of hearing the cry of
“nigger ! nigger ! nigger !” He spent
half an hour in ventilatfng his peculiar
notions.
The report establishing an Emigra
tion Society was adopted, and J. B.
Deveaux was appointed 'resident.
A vote of thanks was parsed to Mayor
Estes, Judge Snead, the o fficers and the
Augusta reporters, and on motion, the
convention adjourned sine die after
prayer by “Boss” Turner.
TIIE AUGUSTA EXCHANGE.
Meeting To-day—What is Being Done
—lncreasing Interest in the Work.
One of the most important institu
tions of our city is the Augusta Cot
ton Exchange, and one of the principal
and most interesting features of the
Exchange is the daily call Of stocks,
bonds, wheat, cotton for future de
livery and various other things
important to the commercial world.
It is a well known fact that, in all large
cities, this daily call at the Exchange
is really the principal stimulus of the
commercial centres, and it is eagerly
watched each day by all—merchant
and farmer, and every one who has a sur
plus dollar to invest:—as in any branch
-of trade, in fact more so, because it is
one of the controlling influences, and
each day an opportunity is afforded
whereby the exact value of every
bond, railroad stock, wheat, cotton, etc.,
can be 3een, and the various waverings
will readily inform those interested of
the most desirable investments. Then
a man need not be afraid to invest, as
he is fully posted and knows how the
markets run, if he lives a hundred
miles from here, as well as he would if
he were present at each daily call.—
Then again, it is a centre of at
traction for our merchants, where
each day an exchange of ideas
can take place and business discussed,
all of which, either directly or indirect
ly, interests the public. * Then, again,
it gives tone to the city, attracts the
attention of persons of importance to
the city, brings them here periodically,
and with them their trade ; and, finally,
the city will have an immense commer
cial notoriety all over the country. Of
course, all this tends to swell our
business, and increase our importance.
It is to be hoped, therefore, that the
new feature established by the Ex
change will meet with a hearty sup
port. To-day, a meeting of the Ex
change will take place at 12:45 p. m.,
and all are requested to bp present, as
important business will be'ffirought be
fore the meeting. Among other mat
ters, a reduction of tho initiation fee
for the present will be discussed, as a
great many are desirous of becoming
members, but are probably deterred
from so doing on account of the price
of initiation. As the new members will
take an active part in toe daily call,
they are of course desirable, aud will
add much to the importance of the
move. Certainly a great amount of
good may be expected.
State Fair. 5
The Georgia Railroad has placed a
night train on, to accommodate those
who wish to attend the State Fair. Those
leaving by this train arrive in Macon in
the morning, spend the day there, aud
taking the night train, arrive in Au
gusta early in the morning. It is a
great convenience.

From the World’s Dispenserv Printing
Office and Bindery. Buffalo, N. Y., we have
received “The People’s Common Sense
Medical Advisor, in plain Eng i-th; or, Med
icine Simplified,” by R. V. Pierce, M D.,
Counsellor-in-Chief of the Board of Physi
cians and Surgeons in the World’s Dispen
sary. Whoever helps humanity in its
struggle with its inherent weaknesses aud
diseases, to bear or cure, is its benefactor.
Ignorance is not only of itself a cause of
disease and mortality, but it i§i the enemy
of every effort to cure or mitigate. Nothing
will so speedily remove this cause as knowl
edge—an elementary one, at Least—of the
diseases to which we are heir, as well as
those superinduced by our own impru
dence. Dr. Pierce has rendered, in our
judgment, a benefactor’s service, both to
the afflicted and to the profession, in his
diagnosis of the diseases treated of, and in
the presentation of the philosophic princi
&les involved in thpir cause and removal.
.e is sparing of remedies, and usually pre
scribes such as are safe in unskilled hands.
Asa book merely of abstract k nowledge, it
is exceedingly readable and interesting,
especially the following subjects: Cerebral
Physiology. Human Temperaments, Pseu
do-Hygiene, the Nursing of the Sick, Sleep,
Food, Ventilation, etc. In one chapter, on
another subject, so delicate in its nature
that it is shut up beyond the domain of
warning to all but physicians* so accursed
in its results in modern society, he is most
explicit, and alike true to God,'to virtue, to
life, and to society, shows the truth as pre
sented in the teachings of Scripture—that
life begins with conception--with great
force, to which is added faithful warnings.
Pi-ice of the Medical Adviser, $1.50, sent

FINANCE AND TRADE.
WEEKLY REVIEW OF THE AU
GUSTA MARKETS.
Constitution a list Office, I
6 o’clock P. M., October 8, 1875.1
. Remarks.
For the past week, business has been only
tolerable, the earlier part of the week being
dull. To-day and yesterday, there was a
change, however, and quite an improve
ment was notable. Cotton is coming in
ve-y freely, and money may be said to be
just coming into active circulation. The
New York financial market has experienced
a relief, gold being easier, and foreign ex
change being in demand, and therefore ex
porters are moving cotton freely. The
state of our local market at present is very
healthy, and merchants are doing a careful
business. They have nut extensive stocks,
but enough to fully meet the demand.
Meats continue very firm aud during the
week have advanced. For Bacon, the
demand has been good, and the market
is firm, with no advance to-day.
