MINOR LOCALS. There have been 1,888 votes register ed, of whom 663 are negroes. If any one finds a pair of steel bowed eye glasses, will they please return them to this office. The Confederate monument is to have the weather stains removed from It, and to be otherwise repaired and beautified. There is quite a demand for seats for the Opera House to-night. Be sure to go to the book store of Geo. A. Oates and secure reserved seats. The Augusta Savings Institution re port, that the dividend of the Freed man’s Bank will be ready for payment about December Ist. By reference to the court proceed ings, it will be noticed that the sale of Girardey’s Opera House is postponed until the first Tuesday in December. Dr. Bleakley is now enlarging his Automatic Landscape, preparatory to its exhibition at the Philadelphia Cen tennial. He expects to have it in shape again by April 1,1876. Edward Preston, a colored man em ployed as a traiu hand, who was in jured last Thursday, by being squeezed between cars while coupling them, on the Port Royal Railroad, near Metcalf’s, is able to be out. The Richmond Rifle Club resume their practice on Friday next at their shooting grounds. It is understood they will experiment with anew kind of military rifle. There is a fair prospect of a match between the R. R. C. and the Savannah Club. John Huiet brought us Monday a dozen Irish potatoes, weighing 5%1b5., which were planted August 12th. They are of the Red Rose variety, and from seed raised upon the same ground in Edgefield, S. C., last Spting. The heaviest one of the lot weighs just a pound. Yesterday afternoon, as the Char lotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad passenger train was going out, an old lady stepped off the train in the oppo site direction from the way the train was going and fell on her face and broke her spectacles, and a piece of glass from them stuck in her eye nearly blinding her. Albert Mendelsohn died on Monday night, of Bright’s disease of the kid neys. He was a wholesale liquor mer chant, and was a man widely known and respected. He was by birth a Ger man, and has been a citizen of Augusta for about twelve years. The deceased was about 37 years of age, and leaves a wife, but no children. He will be buried to-day. In consequence of not being well himself and sickness in his family, Judge Bartlett did not preside in the Superior Court yesterday, but will possibly take Judge Gibson’s place next week. It is hoped the Augusta bar will not be disappointed in having the honor to pay their respects to Judge Bartlett. He is an honor to the bench, and Georgia may well be proud of him. While at the office of our worthy Or dinary, Hon. Samuel Levy, yester day, he handed us some luscious blue figs, and upon inquiry as to where he got such fruit at this season of the year, he informed us that he had in his yard, on Ellis and Centre streets, several trees that were just hanging fuii. Just think of it, figs in the open air upon the Ist of November. '‘And yet some people are not happy.” Financial Troubles in Macon. In consequence of reports having reached Atlanta damaging to the credit of some of the business houses of Macon, inquiry was made by the Atlanta Herald, and the following tele grams were received by that paper: Macon, Ga., November I.—There is no failure in Macon. All of our busi ness men are going on as usual, and are in as good condition generally as any city In the South. Ripley & Tinsley. “Macon, Ga., November I.—We learn that two ’firms have been protested, but have not suspended, and are still open. Damaging reports have been put in circulation regarding the Citj Bank which are unfounded and in consequence of which a run was made upon them last week. They, met everything promptly, the cashier states that theyare able to meet all liabilities. figures. OUR EARTHQUAKE. A Good Shaking All Around—No Damage, But Considerable Alarm. The very serious convulsion of Na ture, which a few minutes be fore 10 o’clock on Monday night, and occasioned so much alarm, in many cases causing people to run into tho streets, appears to have been felt over quite a stretch of country. To-day, it has been the all-absorbing topic, in the counting house, the office, or the home circle. Everybody was asking, “Did you feel the earthquake?” It is the experience of those who have lived in earthquake countries, that the first shocks are succeeded by others, run ning through a period of several days, and we believe that was the case in the earthquake shocks which occurred lieie twenty-seven years ago. It is not at all probable that Augusta will be visited by a Simon-pure earthquake, but we may receive some more shocks before long. In South America, Mexi co, Central America and the West India Islands, where earthquakes are fre quent, they have a medicine called “temblor remedio ” or earthquake medi cine. Earthquakes usually cause a nausea-like sickness, accompanied by a nervous prostration. No doubt, many of our citizens who felt queerly yesterday are unable to account „!or it, but it is the effect of the earthquake shock on Mon day night. The heaviest shocks ever felt in the United States occurred in New Madrid. Missouri, in 1811, and ceased coincidently with the great earthquake at Caracas. New England was shaken by an earthquake in 1755, and California has been visited by many shocks, the most severe being in 1868, when damage amounting to $lO,- 000,000 was done in San Francisco alone. From what can be ascertained, no damage has been done in any locality visited by the earthquake. At the time of the shock two officers who were walking through the passage in the basement of the City Hall, de scribe the effect as awful, and they made better time in getting into the square than they ever made before in their lives. The buildings of the Augusta Fac tory were very badly shaken, but being constructed in the strongest manner, they did not yield to the terrible strain they were subjected to. The members of Empire Lodge, I. O. G. TANARUS., were in session at the time, and the members were so frightened that they gave up business and ran into the street. A gentleman, well known In financial circles, who lives in one of the most substantial houses on Mclntosh street, which was budt three-quarters of a century ago, describes the vibrations as being very violent. From all reports received, the shocks appear to have been most severe at Union Point. Professor Rains has written us the following very interesting letter, which gives a scientific explanation of the matter: Augusta, November 2,1875. Earthquakes are disturbances of the crust of the earth, caused by some ac tion of the interior fiery liquid, which constitutes the great mass of the globe. This crust constituting the hardened shell and surface, is probably not over an average of fifty miles in thickness, and does not bear a larger proportion or thickness to the earth itself, than a covering of paper over a ball two feet in diameter. Hence, it is easy to un derstand that any disturbance what ever in the melted mass below would probably cause some wave-like move ment, or vibratory action in the rocky strata of this thin crust. The causes of such disturbances are probably of several kinds —such as the infiltration of water through cracks, forming vast volumes of imprisoned steam of enor mous tension, which would necessarily seek to escape through some vent, pro ducing volcanic explosions and erup tions. The gradual cooling down of the earth itself would cause disturb ances by the decreased size of the great interior mass, and the increase of the crust of crytallization of previously melted matter. Thus there would be produced a tendency of the crust to wrinkle up, and this would cause a gradual increasing tenoion on the rocky strata, which at times would give way at the weaker places; the noises of the cracking rocks would sound like the rolling of wheels over the pavements, or like the rumbling of distant thunder, accompanied with a vibration or vertical jarring. Again, should the atmosphere be considerably lessened in height over an extended area, indicated by what is called a low barometer, the decreased pressure over such surface might cause an upward tendency in the liquid mass below; thus great storms are not unfrequently ac companied with earthquakes. The electrical and magnetical forces of the earth itself, or in connection with those mighty explosions in the sun, which cause a powerful disturbance of these forces in the earth, may perhaps be at times, efficient causes for perturbations in the forces which hold the crust in equilibrium. It does not follow that an earthquake felt at any particular locality may have there originated; the focus of action may have been many hundreds of miles away, and the wave of disturbance like a tidal wave of the sea, may have traveled over an extended area.— Sounds are far better conducted by rocky masses than by the air, and travel much greater distances. Violent earthquakes precede or accompany volcanic eruptions, hence the latter are looked upon as safety valves giving outlet to the imprisoned gases. All countries having active volcanoes are liable to repeated earthquakes, and the Inhabitants have great dread of their effects. Whilst in Mexico, our army found the people muoh more affected by an earthquake than ourselves : in deed our respect for them increased with our stay. Perhaps there is scarcely a house of any size in the city of Mexico, whose walls have not been more or less disturbed, and numerous cracks in the cathedrals and aqueducts give indications of repeated action. The jarring or vibratory earthquake experienced last night, probably over a large portion of the State, I think probably, was due to the second of the causes enumerated. Geo. W. Rains, M. D. [Special to the Constitutionalist.! Madison, Ga., November 2.-Last night at 10 o’clock Madison was visited by a severe shock of an earthquake. The earth trembled, houses shook and many were awakened from a sound sleep. It lasted for near 2 minutes. On in quiry this morning I learn it was felt all over the city. Speculation is rife this morning as to the cause. D. Macon, Ga., November 2.—A very perceptible earthquake was felt here last night. It lasted at least 30 seconds and shook windows, floors and walls. It occurred about 10 o’clock. Atlanta, Ga., November 2.—A dis tinct shock of earthquake was felt here and in other parts of the State last night. Washington, Ga., November 2,—At five minutes to 10 o’clock last night there were two severe shocks of earth quake which continued for about 45 seconds, the second shock following al most immediately on the first. The direction was a little west of south. There was a rumbling sound with moving motion which shook the earth and trembled houses causing some alarm among the people. THE COURTS. Superior Court. HON. WILLIAM GIBSON PRESIDING. Court Officers. —Sheriff, C. H. Sibiey ; Clerk, S. H. Crump; Bailiffs, Erwin Hicks, T. C. Dortic, R. W. Rugg and M. J. Deween. Frank H. Miller, Esq., appeared be fore the Court on Monday, as counsel for Marie Ann Dougherty in a suit against I. P. Girardey, administrator and Andrew M. Moore, et al. The papers in the case, show that Marie Anne Dougherty, minor child of Marie Ann Angelique Dougherty, formerly Girardey, represented by Edward W. Harker, her next friend files this bill for account, injunction and relief against the defendant, I. P. Girardey, as executor of Marlin Frederick, and as executor of Catherine M. Frederick. The property in question—the Opera House—was sold January 9, 1867, and was conveyed by I. P. Girardey, as ad ministrator, to his brother, Camille E. Girardey, who reconveyed the property back to I, P. Girardey, for the same consideration. The inter est of this minor in the estates not hav ing been paid, the bill seeks to set aside the sale, and enjoin Mr. Moore, who holds the mortgage from I. P. Girar dey, and which he intended to sell un der foreclosure. The court directed the following or der to issue: Augusta, November 1, 1875. Let this bill be filed, and copies served on such of respondents with this order, who will show cause before me on the 13th inst. why the injunction asked should not be granted; and, in the meantime, the Sheriff will postpone said sale to the first Tuesday in December, and await all lurther pro ceedings until the further orders of the Su perior Court of Richmond county. Wm. Gibson, Judge Superior Court. In the case of Washington C. Kelly, on trial for killing William Reily, on the 11th of January, 1875, the Court met yesterday pursuant to its adjourn ment of the day before,, caused from the sudden and much regretted illness of Solicitor-General Jackson. The jury having been selected on the previous day, the case was immediately ! opened by the introduction of evidence by the State. The State introduced but two wit nesses, a Mr. Lycet and Dr. Sterling Eve, whose testimony merely went to establish the direction of the shot which produced the death of the de ceased. The defense introduced betwen fif teen and twenty witnesses during the day, and as it would be impossible to present to our readers the volume of testimony which was taken during the trial we will give a short synopsis of the evidence and the sole lice of de fense used by the counsel for the prisoner. All the witnesses establish the fact of Capt. Kelly being the Superintendent of the cotton yard at the Port Royal Railroad ; that Reiley was a night watchman in the same yard; that Reiley through negli gence and disippatlon was discharged, which discharge was through the in strumentality of Capt. Kelly ; that this caused Reily to fan into existence a ! violent and unqenchlble hatred to ! wards Kelly to whom he attributed | the loss of his position. All the wit nesses substantiated each other in af firming constant threats made by Reiley against the life of Kelly, which threats were communicated to the : ears of Kelly. That Reiley told Kelly to his face that he had better watch him, as he had made the threats and would carry them out before sundown on that day. The testimony then went on to prove that Reiley approached. Capt. Kelly warned him to leave or he would have him removed. Reiley returns, walking directly towards Kelly with his right hand in his pocket, when Kelly shoots him. The sole line of defense being that section of the Code of Georgia which permits a man, when he has the fears of a reasonable man, that some serious bodily injury is about to be committed on him, to defend himself by the death of the person making the threats. The examination closed at seven o’clock, having lasted nearly twelve hours. The argument was then opened for the defense by Major Cumming, who, in a logical and well connected argu ment, clearly showed the innocence of his client, and sustained his reputation as an attorney of eloquence and j strength. Judge Twiggs followed, also for the defense, and in a powerful speech of about two hour’s iu length, exhibited all the latent fire of his nature, and it was considered by many that he made the finest effort of his life—touching every point of his case with elucidating power, and causing his client to appear a persecuted yet innocent man. Solicitor General Jackson followed, and combatted with all his strength, the arguments of opposing counsel, and, after an able, earnest and eloquent appeal to vindicate justice, in behalf of the State, he closed ; ana the case, af ter an able charge by his Honor Judge Gibson, was given to the jury about 11 o’clock. As the jury had not agreed on a verdict at midnight, the court ad journed until this morning at 9 o’clock. County Court. BEFORE COL. CLAIBORNE SNEAD. Thomas Appling, a negro, was tried J&sterday, for robbing the house of udge Twiggs, found guilty, and was sentenced to twelve mouths on the chain gang. - Recorder’s Court. MATHEW SHERON, ESQ., PRESIDING. But four persons were before the court yesterday morning, all for intox ication. They were disposed of as fol lows: Two were found $1 each, one fined $2.50 and the fourth was fined $5. ———— Attempted Murder. Between 8 and 9 o’clock, on Monday evening, as S. W. Howland, the Super intendent of the Graniteville Manufac turing Company at Graniteville, was on his way homeward from his office, he was shot at from behind by some un known person and severely wounded. At the moment of the shooting, Mr. Howland was crossing the railroad, and it is supposed the assassin was be hind a tree near Henderson’s store, thirty steps off. The general supposi tion is, that the villain intended to murder Mr. Howland as he passed Henderson’s store, but was deterred from his purpose by the presence of a boy who was putting up the store shutters, and who went into the store just as the shooting occurred. The wounds were apparently inflicted with duck shot, the worst Injuries being in the side of Mr. Howland’s face and the back of his neck and right shoulder, and while they are very painful, are not considered dangerous. A man was observed early in the evening lurking around, and his conduct was considered very suspicious. There are rumors afloat that the motive for this das tardly deed was revenge for some fan cied injury. H. H. Hickman, Esq., President of the Graniteville Compa ny, has offered a reward of SSOO for the apprehension of the villain, and is de termined to leave no means untried to secure his arrest. The people of Gran iteville, who respect Mr. Howland high ly, are very much excited about the matter, and universally execrate the deed. _ Licenses. Since the Ist of October the following licenses have been granted : Sixty-one for liquor selling at $l5O each, and 7 at SSO. 152 to draymen,' etc., at $lO each—making a total revenue for the city of sll,OlO.

Paper circulation; should be made to increase and diminish with the amount of gold deposited in ex change for it. Doctors and Druggists. The tripartite disagreement between doctors, druggists, and the laity at large, concerning proprietorship in prescriptions, bids fair, says the New York World, to become j| prominent issue in medical politics. I Simultane ously on both sides of tfia Atlantic, arises a waii over the loss bf potential fees through the extra-professional re petition of recipes; the only difference being that the British conjplaint takes the form of a protest agalnbt abandon ing the time-honored custoie of the gen eral practitioner’s dispensing his own medicines, whilst in Amerila it is pro posed to revert to this cuepom, which, save in the case of here |ind there a rural saddle-bag Esculapifn, has long been reliquished as infra dig. An Eng lish practitioner recounts in print how in a moment of unguarded pride he was led to write a prescription: for a gouty patient who had heretofore yielded him an average income pt £3O per annum, and how his pofyagravating person immediately avowg that for three years since he has hud the same prescription made up whenever he felt the gout coming on. “What is worse,” exclaims the injured and insulted leech, “is that he has give;n the same prescription to all his gdity friends whom he would otherwise nave recom mended to me ; and even :,he chemist makes it up now, and soils it as bis ‘famous gout pills and mixture.’ Thus, for ten shillings I have sold an income of say fifty pounds a year and I am not consoled by the reflection that my patient and his friends are really bet ter off, for though they • are saving money, they are all in all probability abusing my alkaline eolebidym mixture and injuring their constitutions.” An American physician, writing to the Philadelphia Medical Timex,, also urges that doctors should furnisli drugs as well as advice, but, keeping selfish considerations in the |>ackground, founds his argument chiefly on the op posite argument of saving [ expense to the patient, who Bometin]es finds the druggist’s bill as large as *hat of the attending physician. i First Baptist Church. The repairs which were commenced the first of last July, ori the First Baptist Church—Rev. M. Wharton, D. D. pastor—are nearly | completed, and it is expected that thtf auditorium will be ready for occuparjsy so as to have service in it on the l&th inst. The repairs* enlargements and im provements have cost in ttfe neighbor hood of $15,000, and this church edi fice has now one of the flmyit interiors in Georgia. ’ l\ The new chapel, built i|i part from the materials in the old one, is nicely arranged for the purpose! for which it was built, and will comfortably ac commodate 400 persons. There are two elegant parlors which ( pen off from the chapel, with folding doors between, so that they can be thrown into one room if necessary. These two rooms will be a very important adjunct iu the social gatherings of the c4ogregation, and we are glad to know tit at it is the intention of the accomplished and learned gentleman who is pastor of the church, to have frequent social gather ings of his flock. The I auditorium shows a fine taste in the|3election of colors of the frescoing, themain color, being brown with shade? of French gray,white and blue. The paws are pain ted in imitation of black p ain at with panels of French chesnmi The gal leries are painted in thejUame style with a border of gilt around the pan els, causing a beautiful pffect. Two pews have been from the front of the altar, which isja great im provement. The baptismal foust has been enlarged and in the rear part of the platform, and l|ehind it is a fine pillar perspective in fresco, which makes it appear as thougp there was an alcove. The gas and ceiling reflectors, have been improved and re paired, and also the windows. Our Baptist friends may wellUe proud of what might almost be tinned their new church. I Amusements.! Anent the play of “T|.3 Two Or phans,” which will be presented at the Opera House to-night byrihose popu lar players—Rose and Han y Watkins— an exchange says : " ‘The Two Orphans’ is described as a romantic drama. This it;is, no doubt, but it is entitled to anothe; description as well. It is in fact icjalodramatic. There is, however, a broad: distinction to be drawn between the: melodrama which it represents, and t hat which is ordinarily understood by the term. It is a melodrama of refineto mt, of deep pathos, of keen anguish, o* bitter suf fering, of brave contention between love and duty, as against t|iat of other melodramas, of brawl and, bloodshed, of tawdry sentiment, of blatant de fiances and vigorous vulgarity. The piece is one of surpassing power, of strong situations, of contUjuous action and of marvelously effect!fy tableaux. It is a story which, iu all aspects, is presented with amazing fojee. It pre sents a picture without veakness or blemish. The acting is quite worthy of the drama.” This evening, the Washu.gtom Tem perance Dramatio Club, give a select entertainment at Bethesdiv Hall. This excellent amateur organization will perform the beautiful astd thrilling temperance drama in five £>ots entitled, “Ten Nights in a Bar-rodm.” There will also be tableaux and friug3. From the well known ability of many of those billed, persons who attend \| : 11 no doubt pass an evening of pleasuna. “It is our deliberate and h ell founded calculation that Gen. Alfred H.

[Philadelphia Times.! J. Edgar Thomson, late President of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, who died May 25th, 1874, provides in his will, after the ordering of numerous private bequests, that the trustees shall appropriate the remainder to the education and maintenance of female orphans of railway employees whose fathers may have been killed while in the discharge of their duties—prefer ence being given, first to the employes engaged upon the Pennsylvania Rail road ; second, to those of the Georgia Railroad, between Augusta and At lanta ; third, to those of the lines controlled by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, by lease or otherwise; and fourth, to those of the employes of any other railroad company of the United States of America. The executors of the estate are Henry C. Spackm in and George B. Roberts. At a recent meet ing, called by the auditor of the estate, Joseph A. Clay, Esq., the executors presented, as the assets of the estate, a cash balance of $19,025.68, and assets in hand to the value of $1,056,214 45. Claims to the amount of $131,298.65, proved and admitted by the Orphans’ Court, were presented and directed to be paid. The largest claim was that of the London, Asiatic and American Company for amount remaining due on a guarantee of J. Edgar Thomson and others for drafts drawn on the compa ny to the amount of $107,251.31. Other claims were presented but not acted upon, as follows : Miscellaneous, $lO,- 877.59 ; executors of Samuel Yeasey, for 17 promissory uotes, $134,500; claim of Sulzbach Bros, for themselves and others, bondholders of the Daven port and St. Paul Railroad Company, disputed by the administrators, $1,000,- 000. The auditor, in his report to Judge Hanna, states that there are suffi cient assets to meet all the claims. If, however, the claim of Sulzbach Bros, can be sustained, the desire of the tes tator to establish the public institu tions described in his will cannot be car ried into effect. The claim is for an alleg ed issue of bonds beyond the amount authorized by the progress of the rail road to completion. It is claimed that Mr. Thomson is liable as trustee for the excess so issued, and also as a mem ber of a construction company through which the bonds were negotiated. This claim is disputed by the administra tors, as is also that of the Yeasey es tate, on the ground that in this case Mr. Thomson was only secondarily liable. Auction Sales. The usual monthly auction sales were held at the Market House yester day, but there was but a small attend ance of buyers. The following were the most important sales effected: Bignon & Crump. Sixty acres of land In Walker Cos., to Judge Levy, for SSO; forty acres are said to be good valley land. They of fered 859 acres of laud, situate on the Georgia Railroad, about twenty miles from Augusta, and as $2 an acre was the highest offer, it was withdrawn. Four horses were sold for S4O, $37, S4O, and SBS, respectively. A common mule was sold for $45. Ramsey & D'Antignac. Eight horses at the following prices; $35, $38.50, $45, S9O, S6O, $31.50, 57.50, and $45. Col. C. V. Walker. Twelve horses and mules at the fol lowing prices: SSO, $52, S6O, $65, $69, $72, SSO, S6O, SB9, $69, s7l, SB4. City property on Ellis street, belonging to estate of Greenville Simmons, $4,005, cash; it is ninety feet on Ellis street, runs through to Greene street, and has a cottage house, etc., on it. f -*•- * Personal. W. G. Jones, City Sheriff, is suffering from a very heavy cold, but is still able to be around and attend to busi ness. A curious feature of social existence in Stark county, Ind., is that every widow in the county owns a cranberry swamp. In consequence no married man dare buy one, for fear that he will shortly leave his wife one of the noble band of cranberry widows. Consignees Per South Carolina Rail road November 2,1875.
