The Colored Men Nominate.
Last night, a colored man named T.
H. Walker brought to our office the
advertisement of the nomination of a
colored man for Councilman in the
Fourth Ward. He stated that the
nomination had been made at a large
meeting held at Gardner’s Park, and
that the meeting also agreed to sup
port Colonel C. V. Walker and Dr. M.
J. Jones. The original resolution
which we saw, contained the names of
the above named gentlemen, but we
presume, without their knowledge or
consent, as the bearer of the advertise
ment stated he did not wish their
names published with the notice.
••Music Notice.”
It will be seen, from our advertising
columns, that Miss Mattie Morgan, of
Washington, Ga., will arrive In our city
next month for the purpose of giving
instruction in vocal music. The notice
states that she has been under the care
of a celebrated teacher in New York,
who has well qualified her for training
singers. Of the lady herself, there is
no need for us to speak. She has
among our people friends without num
ber, who cheerfully recognize the skill
ful energy, pleasing social attractions
and “gift or song” of which she is pos
sessed, and we do not question but they
will join each other in the hope that
her success may be all she desires and
so highly merits.
Personal.
T. E. Gilbeit associate editor of the
Sumter Watchman , S. C., called at our
sanctum yesterday, but our absence
prevented our meeting him. We were
sorry not to have had an opportunity
of conversing with the gentleman about
the affairs of his down-trodden State.
G. H. Yan Wormer, the advance
agent of Hall’s Combination, we are
glad to note, is still with them. He
was offered inducements to travel for
anpther Company. Hall’s Combination
is fortunate in keeping the services of
so valuable an agent.
Among the many gentlemen attend
ing thoraces we note John E. Benton,
William Harrison, Homer Sturges, B.
A. Embree, W. H. Murry, Benjamin
Reese, Hon. Jno. H. Scott, G. B. Sut
ton, from McDuffie county; T. H. Rem
senof Lincoln county; Geo. W. Gray,
Oliver Hardy, Judge James Harris, R.
J. Blunt, Peter Wright, George A.
Zachary Hon. S. C. Lamkin, S. A. Gib
son and George A. Hill, of Columbia
county, (who, rumor says, is the
comiDg man for member of the Legis
lature from Columbia county), were in
the city yesterday.
P. McCormick the Agent of the Royal
Yeddo Japs is in town, arranging for
the presentation of his company to our
people. He represents a first class
company.
An “Intellectual Combat.”
A correspondent of the Covington
Star thus speaks of an Augusta insti
tution :
The heavy deliberations frequently had
at the meetings of the Augusta Exchange
always elicit the most learned and philoso
phic reflections on the vaned subjects of
financial import. In keeping with this high
spirit of Intellectual combat, an important
question was sprung and hotly contested
by two dignified bankers at a meeting
who, ignoring the silly and unimportant
little requisitions of parliamentary usage,
and the fastidious idea of ordinary decorum.
elevated themselves to the exalted state of
persona’ities, and would absolutely have
attained the grandeur of a personal alter
cation, but for the rude and untimely inter
ference of other more practical and leas
pthenal members.
THE JOCKEY CLUB RACES.
Fine Sport Yesterday—Every One De
lighted With the Races—Brisk Pool
Selling—To-Day’s Programme.
Considering the dullness of the times
and the scarcity of money, there was
manifested an unusual degree of spirit
in the betting line, by the owners and
backers of stock, particularly in the
races of yesterday. Both at pool-sell
ing at the Globe the evening before,
and immediately before the races yes
terday, the speculations for both races
were lively indeed.
The first race—a dash of one mile—
was certainly a beautiful event of the
kind, considering the fact that the en
tries were only two years old. And
from the recorded time made, it will
be seen that the contestants are
very promising stock, and the own
ers have good reason to feel well
satisfied at the result. About half-past
2 o’clock p. m., the horses came to the
string to receive their errand of speed,
and from the appearances made, many
and varied were the criticisms of the
“knowing ones." Libbie L. being the
favorite, she having had a splendid
record from her race in Charlotte, was
of course the conjectured winner; but
the chestnut filly seemed to have a
i good share of admirers, among them
first-class judges of horseflesh. This
being her first trial, and only a baby
I in arena of the turf, little could be ex
pected from her first effort, but she
more than surprised her admirers by
her effort yesterday. The boy who
rode her deserves a special notice, as
he showed splendid nerve in his man
agement of her. Johnnie B, was in
good condition, and proved himself a
very promising colt. He and Libbie
L. had the advantage of being better
worked than the filly, and they placed
it to their credit In a gamely form.
SUMMARY.
Colt stakes, two years old. Entrance,
§25 p. p., with §2OO added by the
A. J. Club. The following horses
came under the string for competition.
Mile dash—Libbie L., Johnnie 8.,
Bohler’s chestnut filly, Mark Twain
and Santuc.
Promptly at the word “ go,” they
dashed off at a splendid rate. Libbie
L. got the lead from the start, and it
was evident, from her splendid style,
that the race was hers. She was fol
lowed closely by Johnnie B. and the
filly, who pushed her hard, but were
unable to head her during the race.
Libbie L. undoubtedly showed that the
faith of her backers was not misplaced,
and landed her rider under the string
in the creditable time of 1:52}£ —carry-
ing three pounds overweight, two
lengths ahead of Johnnie 8., who was
one length ahead of the filly; Mark
Twain fourth; the other not placed.
SECOND RACE.
Mile heats, for all ages. Entrance 5
per cent. Purse, §2OO. There were
four entries for this race : Egypt, Mary
Long, Larry Hart and Century.
First heat—After one false start, the
horses got off, Larry Hart leading. At
the half-mile post, Egypt took the lead
and kept it throughout the heat. Mary
Long second, Century third and Larry
Hart fourth—time, I:4B>£.
Second heat—At first start, they all
dashed off, Egypt taking the lead at the
one-quarter mile post, which he main
tained throughout. On the last quarter,
he was gallantly pushed by Mary Long,
who evinced a gameness in both heats,
which created a lively enthusiasm
among her friends. Century and Larry
Hart making a dead heat for third
place—time, The pools sold
about the same on the course as at the
Hotel. Libbie L. and Egypt being the
favorites.
The attendance was very fair,
considering the times and weather,
and many beautiful ladies graced the
occasion with their presence. Alto
gether, it is rarely that a crowd of
spectators are so universally pleased
as were the attendance at yesterday’s
proceedings. There was nothing what
ever to mar the enjoyment of all—no
jockeying, no unpleasantness of any
kind; everyone was satisfied that there
was fair play and well contested races.
The Jockey Club can pride themselves
on securing first-class stock to compete
for their prizes, and our citizens should
encourage them by contributing what
they can towards the funds.
Barton & Medinger sold pools for
to-day’s races, last evening, at the
Globe Hotel. There was a large at
tendance, and the following is the re
sult :
Ist Race—Vanderbilt 25 10 55
Field ...17 6 30
2d Race— Springlet 85 35 55

“Professor” William D. Jones lec
tured, last evening, at the Bethel A. M.
E. Church, on the very important
question: “Whence Came We, and
Whither are We Tending?” In view
of the scarcity in the turkey market,
we leave it to the poultry dealers to
answer the second branch of the ques
tion.

rary institutions, and printed on a
number of labels.
The largest flouring Mill in America
is owned by Hon. C. C. Washburne, of
Minneapolis, Minn. It is seven stories
high, and crowded w r ith machinery from
top to bottom. Its cost was three
hundred thousand dollars, has forty
run of burrs, and turns out one thou
sand barrels of flour per day.
On Tuesday afternoon, a small white
boy attempted to board a train of
the Central railroad, while it was go
ing toward the depot. The little fel
low’s head came in contact with a
platform step, and he was knocked
almost senseless. It seemed -a miracle
he was not killed.
The locomotive “North Carolina,” of
the C. C. & A. Railroad is one of the
best engines that runs through this
city. It always look handsome, for
William Fell the engineer seems to take
great pains to keep the brass work
cleaned to an extreme degree of br'ght
ness. Mr. Fell says he commenced his
duties “on the night that Sherman en
tered Columbia.”

Recent orders from the Postmaster
General, direct that the issue to a sin
gle applicant, in one day, or more than
three orders, payable at the same office
and to the same payee, is positively
forbidden. The applicant must, in all
cases, write his own given name and
surname in full. When the given name
of the payee is known, it should also
bo stated in full; otherwise, initials
may be used. The given names of
married women must be stated, not
those of their husbands. For example :
Mrs. Mary Brown must not be describ
ed as Mrs. William Brown.

The “blowing off” of steam of a
locomotive, yesterday, caused a dray
horse, driven by Robert Butler, colored,
to run away.
At three o’clock yesterday after
noon, a team of horses attached to a
country wagon ran away in Broad
street, but were stopped near Monu
ment street. No hitching posts could
be seen in the vicinity of the place
where they started from.
A Remarkable Professional Success.
—Among the notable professional men
of this country who have achieved ex
traordinary success is Dr. R. V. Pierce,
of Buffalo, N. Y. The prominence which
he has attained has been reached
through strictly legitimate means, and,
so far, therefore, he deserves the envi
able reputation which he enjoys. This
large measuro of success is the result
of a thorough and careful preparation
for his calling, and extensive reading
during a long and unusually large
practice, which have enabled *him to
gain high commendation, even from
his professional brethren. Devoting his
attention to certain specialties of the
science he has so carefully investiga
ted, he has been r&warded in a remark
able degree. In these specialties, he
has become a recognized leader. Not a
few of the remedies prescribed by him
have, it is said, been adopted and pre
scribed by physicians in their private
practice. His pamphlets and larger
works have been received as useful
contributions to medical knowledge.
He has recently added another, and
perhaps more important work, because
of more general application, to the list
of his published writings. This book,
entitled “The People’s Common Sense
Medical Adviser,” is designed to enter
into general circulation. Dr. Pierce has
received acknowledgments and honors
from many sources, and especially
scientific degrees from two of the first
medical institutions in the land.—
[Missouri Republican (St. Louis).
nov2B-tutha&fc
Clinch Rifle Concei t.
The concert for the benefit of the
Centennial Fund of the Clinch Rifles,
took place yesterday evening, :>nd was
largely attended. Masonic Hall was
filled with the friends of the Clinch
boys, and with the admirers of the
ladies and gentlemen announced on the
programme. The concert was' under
the direction of that veteran musician,
Prof. John Weigand. The pfUno used
was of the Bacon & Karr man ifacture,
and was loaned by George A. Oates.
The opening Solo of Mr. T. H. 0.,
was but another proof of the gentle
man’s remarkable adaptation to instru
mental music. His time is well meas
ured and his execution excellent.
The Bridge—song—Miss Liri, bay, did
great credit to Mr. J. H. M. Its rendi
tion was excellent. * The three pieces
on the programme, “Let me Kiss Him
for His Mother—Ordway—-was to have
been rendered by Mr. J. D. C., Dr. E.
C. G., Mr. H. P. W. and Mr. A. A. P.,
but owing to the indisposition of Dr.
G., his place was filled by Mr. T. W. B.
The Quartette was rapturously encored.
Rose-Bush—song—was the next.
Mrs. J. T. M. We can never hear this
lady too often. Her singing is but a
continuation of sweet and melodious
sounds, of which one never wearies.
The song “Do I Love Thee,” as ori
ginally intended, was replaced by “Sad
and Lonely,” by Lieut. J. D. C.
Lieut. 0. has a remarkably line voice,
and was repeatedly applauded.
The quartette, composed of Mr. J.
McC., Mr. A. P. 8., Mr. C. T. and Mr.
G. J. F., received particular favor at
the hands of the audience. They were
recalled several times.
Mr. A. A. P.’s solo, “There’s Life in
the Old Land Yet,” was doubly valued,
both through association and the
merits of its rendition. The last verse
is from the poetic pen of Mr. Jas. It.
Randall, and is regarded as the most
beautiful of the song.
Mr. H. P. W.’s “Stirrup Oup” was also
enthusiastically received.
“The Swallow’s Farewell,” duett, by
Mrs. J. T. M. and Mrs. G. G. 0., was
charmingly rendered, and those pres
ent expressed their approbation by a
repeated encore.
Miss L. R.’s “Venzano Waltz” was
music in the real acceptance of the
word, and decidedly a happy selection.
“The Midnight Bells” closed the con
cert by Miss L. R, Mrs. G. G. 0., Mrs.
G. G. and Mr. A. A. P. It was a val
uable conclusion of this musical enter
tainment, which will not soon be for
gotten by the Clinch boys and their
frieLds.
Primary Election for Members of
Council.
We learned on yesterday that a very
general desire existed on the part of a
very large number of voters in the
Third and Fourth wards to havo the
members of Council nominated by a
primary election on Monday next. It
is claimed that there are many reasons
why such a course is desirable. It will
afford those of the voters v-ho cannot
attend night meetings an opportunity
to express their choice. It will tend to
prevent any disturbance or improper
conduct, which sometimes occurs at
ward meetings upon the part of irre
sponsible parties. It will secure a full
expression of all the registered voters,
and thereby prevent even the show of
right for independent candidates. These
reasons appear to be weighty ones,
and no doubt influenced the judgment
of a large [number of our citizens re
siding in the wards referred to, as well
as elsewhere in the city. Such a
course as the one thus indicated, will
certainly relieve this important matter
of the many objections which year
after year are urged against lightning
nominations. We presumi? from the
very general expression, that the pri
mary election system will ha adopted,
more especially as it can be operated
within the control of gentlemen, ap
pointed by the meetings, And will in
volve no expense to the city, or candi
dates. |
As will be seen from outadvertising
columns a negro man named Johnson
has been formally nominated for Coun
cil from the Fourth Ward. If the
colored voters intend to concentrate
upon him, it becomes the citizens of
that ward to harmonize upon throe
good men and elect them. There
must be no disorganization in the
face of such a possibility as the
above nomination presents. Without
thorough preparation, and a universal
turn-out of the registered voters ot the
Ward, there is great danger that we
may loso a member. Ho# necessary,
then, that the very best men should be
nominated, in a fair and satisfactory
manner, and that after the nomi
nation, they should receive the
undivided support of every voter
who desires to see the unity and
harmony of the party preserved. With
a registered vote in the Ft urth Ward
of eight hundred and ninety-one, thero
are nearly four hundred colored votes.
The evidence is therefore very clear
that a long, strong pull, all together,
will be necessary to retain control. “A
word to the wise is sufficient,”
Georgia Railroad Stock.
An Augusta correspondent of the
Atlanta Herald in speaking; of the Geor
gia Railroad and its directors says;
I learn they do not want the stock to be
speculative stock, or to see It concentrated
in the hands of the few. but to remain as it
new is, in the hands of the many, and to
have its value depend upon the actual bus
iness of the road. They have no confidence
in, or use for, the “ bulls and bears ” of
Wall street. John Davison, Esq., the
clear-headed banker and flna icier, said to
me that much of the stock of the Georgia
road was now in the hands of children
of parties who received it when first issued,
and that he held shares wh ch had been is
sued to members of his family ill 1831. Atone
time this stock was sllO, is s <>w SBO, with
an upward tendency, and can see no reason
why it should not in two years stand at
sllO per share. The fall was never as great as
that of the Central—from $.15 away down
to .51 or .52; now it is .57 and going upward.
The two great causes of the c - opping down
of the Georgia Railroad sto:k was, first,
the efforts of the directors, -too soon after
the war. to relieve the suffering and wants
of the stockholders by paying too large
dividends; they allowed th. ir feeling to
warp their judgment; and tint second was
the endorsement of Alabama and Western
Railroad bonds. They are ti nv in a great
measure relieved from that “pull-back,” as,
in all probability, the road will hereafter
pay all its expense account.
From the number of trimmings now
put on ladies’ dresses, it is reasonably
predicted that the coming Winter is to
bean uncommonly hard one—for hus
bands and fathers.
Amusements.
Ben de Bar and a talented company,
will present Shakespeare’s Henry IV.
to an Augusta audience in about a
month. The impersonation by Mr. de
Bar of Sir John Falstaff, is said to
equal the performance of the world
renowned Hackett.
The Savannah paper gives Hall’s
company a half column critique and re
marks :
The trite saying that “ oft expectation
fails where most it promises,” was not
verified last evening at the theatre, as the
anticipations that were shadowed in our
notice yesterday of the performance of
Hall’s Combination concerning a crowded
house were in their full measure realized.
To the appreciative lover of the legitimate
drama it is not only a pleasure to greet a
talented first-class company upon the
stage, but to witness in the auditorium a
reflex of the intelligence and refinement of
the community, and such was our gratify
ing expet ience last evening. The audience
was a striking proof of the assertion we
have repeatedly made, that first-class com
panies visiting Savannah can have no cause
to complain of lack of patronage. Hail’s
Combination are emphatically entitled to
distinction in the rank of line dramatic
companies, and we have no doubt that
there will be, if possible, this evening—the
last of their engagement—au improvement
in the house.
The great strength and talent of Hall’s
Combination enable the presentation of the
powerful play of the “Two Orphans” with
extraordinary effect. Among the favorite
artists of the Combination we may mention
Mr. Louis L. James, one of the most popu
lar and polished young actors on the New
York stage. He was, until the present sea
son, for four years the leading actor of
Daly’s fifth Avenue Theatre, ami is one of
the most attractive and pleasing actors in
the country.
The following allusions to this artist are
copied from the New York Evening Post,
one of the most dignified journals in that
city, and one that uever bestows unmerited
praise:
1 he absence of Mr. Louis L. James from
this city durin ; the ensuing dramatic sea
son will be generally regretted by intelli
gent playgoers. Mr. James is one of the
most gifted of our young actors, and lie
has steadily grown in favor here since he
first appeared at the Fifth Avenue Thoatre
as Captain Lynde, in Divorce. In the old
comedies Mr. James has displayed accurate
perception and refined taste, and liis im
personations of “Mr. Page,” “Joseph Sur
face” and “Dorricourt” will be remembered
witli pleasure, while in the lighter plays of
later times, which have recently been pro
duced, he has succeeded equally well. Mr.
James is now acting at (Mr. Hall’s) New
Theatre.
Of the drama of the “Two Orphans” the
New York Graphic remarks: Were the
clergy to witness such performances they
would be less severe in their denunciations
of the stage; although the play is French
in its origin, the story presents such a pow
erful sermon against vice that its influence
must be altogether for good.
The writer has often seen, on the
Metropolitan boards, many of the mem
bers of this splendid organization, and
can vouch for their being all that is
represented by the Savannah paper.

New Books.
“Young People’s Illustrated Bible
History.” By the Henry Bill Publish
ing Company, 1875. A. J. Merrill,
Ageut. Mr. Merrill having placed a
copy of this work in our hands for ex
amination, we gladly give our opinion
of its merits.
It is a somewhat remarkable fact
that in giving a revelation of his mind
to the.world, the author of the Bible
should havo occupied so much of that
revelation with mere biography. Yet,
this can be accounted for. The Bible
was intended for the young as well as
the old ; and God, gave a revelation,
and gave it in a way that would inter
est both young and old. Biography is
the first subject that children seek to
know, and the Bible is the best of
books ; therefore it is given in such a
way as to meet the wants of the young
mind. Again: The biography of Scrip
ture embraces the mere alphabet of
Bible truth. Biography is simply truth
in earnest—truth at work. It is the
gospel of a holy life. Hence, the doc
trines of the good and the devout are
deduced from, as they are illustrated
by their lives.
The doctrines of Christianity are
wrapped up in biography for which we
are indebted to the pens of Mathew,
Mark, Luke and John. They are taught
practically by the Evangelists, as they
are taught .dogmatically, by Paul. So
the whole range of inspired Biography
}s designed to inforce the great saving
doctrines and inculcate the grand prac
tical duties of the Christian.
To attain a knowledge of doctrine
and duty, the lives of the men, women
and children of the Bible must be road
and studied.
Now, the volume before us is one of
the very best aids to such a study. In
three hundred and sixty-three chap
ters, covering five hundred and eighty
four pages of royal octavo, we have an
analysis of the whole Bible, so far as
history and biography are concerned.
The book is, therefore, worthy of a
place in the domestic library of every
Christian family.
The Augusta Exchange.
Mr. Editor— We have been pleased
to learn through the daily papers that
some members of the “Exchange” have
become dissatisfied with the manner in
which its affairs have been conducted
recently, and that a commendable
effort has been made towards reforma
tion. We have for sometime been
watching the movements of this insti
tution with considerable interest, and
fully intended (with your permission)
to give your country readers a chapter
on the “outs and ins,” that they might
know exactly what reliance could be
placed upon its authenticity for the
value of any of our first-class securi
ties. I say country readers, because no
city reader could possibly be deceived
as to what was daily transpiring be
fore his eyes. But parties interested,
at a distance, would naturally be led
astray, and wonder where we were
drifting to on seeing valuable stocks
and bonds apparently “going a beg
ging” in the hands of capitalists.
We have known some cotton buyers
(not a thousand miles from here) to sell
a few hundred bales at very reduced
prices expecting thereby to purchase
thousands at proportionately low fig
ures. It is to be hoped such tricks are
beneath the dignity of a board com
posed of responsible Augusta mer
chants.
Thanks to the reform movers and
success to institutions established upon
moral and legitimate principles.

An Impregnable Position. —Among
American remedies, Hostetter’s Stom

aptly be termed an impregnable posi

are laid so deep in the public confidence,
its excellence has been so frequently
and conclusively demonstrated under
the most trying circumstances, and it
has been so long known to the public
as a standard article, that neither the
slurs occasionally cast upon propietary
medicines, nor the attempts of certain
inalcoholic nostrum venders to create a
prejudice agaiust a preparation with a
spirituous basis, can affect it. The pub
lic recognize in it a safe, agreeable and
comprehensive alterative and an in
valuable general tonic, a speedy remedy
for malarious disorders, and their
most reliable preventive, Its reputa
tion is founded, as it were, upon a rock.

i Too Much at Stake.— Steele & Price,
the manufacturers of Dr. Price’s
, Flavoring Extracts and Cream Baking
■ Powder, with their respectability, large
trade, wide reputation, and constantly
Jncreasing popularity, have too much
at stake to put upon the market any
thing which has not, by careful aualy
sis and constant trial, been found to be
not only harmless, but positively bene
ficial, as well as superior to any other
similar articles. Dr. Price’s Cream
Baking Powder and Flavoring Ex
tracts are the only kinds made by a
practical chemist as well as physician
with special regard to their healthful
ness. And they are rapidly supersed
ing all inferior and deleterious com
pounds for similar purposes. The firm
itself is known as the leading manufac
turers in this line upon the continent.
Buy Dr. Price’s Baking Powder only in
cans with unbroken labels.
