To-day.
Two Extra Races To : day, commenc
ing at three o’clock.
Fire.
A fire occurred at 8:30 o’clock last
evening, in the house occupied by Jerry
Bunch, on Broad street near McKinnie.
The fire originated in a closet in the
kitchen, and supposed to be incendiary.
Citizen Fire Company, No. 8, had a
stream on. Damage about one hun
dred dollars ; insured.
The State Treasury.
We learn, by private advices from
Atlanta, that Treasurer Jones failed to
make good his bond, and hence has
been suspended from office. The Gov
ernor has prohibited the payment of
any drafts unless personally ordered
by himself, and will, in a few days, ap
point a Treasurer pro tem. We are
afraid that the Legislature made a big
mistake when the members thereof
failed to get rid of Mr. Jones at the last
session. We shall be much surprised
if no ugly developments ensue.
Fourth Ward.
By the proceedings of a meeting held
at the hall of the Irish Volunteers, last
night, it was resolved that the polls be
opened from ten to four o’clock, to-day,
for the purpose of nominating three
members of Council from that ward.
The vote will be taken at the Upper
Market House. All registered voters
in the Fourth Ward are entitled to
vote, and, we presume, will do so, so
that there may be a full expression as
to the choice of the Ward.
Advertising.
The advertisements in a newspaper
are more read than the thoughtless im
agine. They are the map of a large
class of men’s capabilities in life. The
man who contemplates doing business
in a distant town takes up the local
paper and in its advertising columns,
sees a true picture of the men he has
to deal with ; a complete record of the
town, its commerce, its home trade,
the facilities of storekeepers, its banks;
and in almost every case he can esti
mate the character of the men who are
soliciting the public patronage. The
advertising page is a map of the town,
a record of its municipal character, a
business confession of the citizens, and
instead of being the opinionated pro
duction of one man, it is freighted with
the life-thoughts of a hundred.
Carpets and Upholstery.
We take pleasure in referring to the
new advertisement gof Jas. G. Bailie &
Bro., of Augusta, in this issue, who
offer reduced prices on carpets, window
shades, wall paper, lace curtains, etc.
The figures at which they quote these
goods are tempting in the extreme, and
it has about reached that point where
almost anybody can afford to make
their home beautiful and attractive, as
•well as comfortable. Nothing adds so
much to the beauty and comfort of a
house as a neat carpet, tasty window
shades and curtains, and a neat pat
tern of wall paper. They have all these
—and in addition have beautiful
chromo pictures for the walls, and we
know enough about them to assure our
friends that they are in every way
worthy of their patronage.-[Wmrren

THE JOCKEY CLUB RACES.
Thursday’s Sport— Postponement of
the Balance of the Races.
There was a better attendance on
Thursday than the day before, and a
good day’s sport was had, notwith
standing the bad weather. The fine
order observed, absence of jockeying
and excellent management generally
received favorable comment.
The following is a summary of
Thursday’s sport:
FIRST RACE.
Mile heats, best two In three, for
three-year olds. Three entries —Charlie
Cheatham, Katie Lee and Springlette.
First heat—ln this heat a fine start
was had, Springlette taking the lead,
which was maintained throughout—
followed closely by Katie Lee, who
contested with her very finely, but it
soon became evident, however, that
she would be the winner, and that
Katie Lee would take the second prize,
as Charlie Cheatham was led by his
competitors from the start, although
he contended very briskly with Katie
Lee, and they passed under the string
as follows: Springlette first, Katie
Lee second, and Charlie Cheatham
third. Time, 1:48 %.
Second heat—This heat resulted pret
ty much the same as the first—Charlie
Cheatham falling off a little. Time,
1:48*.
SECOND RACE.
Two mile dash for all ages. Three
entries: Vanderbilt, Busy Bee and
Tom O’Neil. At the sound of the
bugle the horses came up promptly,
and a fair send-off was obtained, Van
derbilt, who was the favorite by odds,
dashing ahead, Busy Bee second and
Tom O’Neil third. This position re
mained unbroken for about a mile and
a half, when O’Neil began to move up
and in a few seconds closed in with
Busy Bee, and, passing her, seemed
inspired with fresh energy, made for
Vanderbilt, who, up to this time, had
been leading by several lengths, and
as they whirled into the home stretch
O’Neil locked the lead, while Busy Bee
kept pressing Vanderbilt, who at this
juncture began to fail, gave him the
go-by, and with this change of base,
under whip and spur, amid great
excitement and prolonged cheers,
O’Neil passed first under the string,
Busy Bee second and Vanderbilt third;
time, 3;49%.
In consequence of the weather it was
deemed advisable to postpone the
other two days’ racing until next week,
commencing on Monday at 2:30 p. m.
sharp.
The pools sold at the Globe Hotel,
on Thursday night, by Bride & Cos.,
resulted as follows:

The gush spoken of appeared in the

ried men, and have read Caudle.
H. H. P., the correspondent of the
Atlanta Constitution, writing from Au
gusta, says:
We are inclined to believe that the com
mercial men here, with a few exceptions,
are somewhat asleep over their interest,
for we do not meet a single commercial
traveller from Augusta, nor do we see any
very extensive advertising at homo or
abroad. Business is looking up some,
though very few goods are being shipped
from here at present. Augusta is oue of
the pleasantest places I have ever visited,
and its people have an unbounded repu
tation for their hospitality and intelli
gence.
Mr. E. H. Pughe, the well-known job
printer, has accepted the position of busi
ness manager of the Augusta Constitution
alist. We are indebted to Mr. P. for our
knowledge of the Art Preservative, and
can truthfully say that what he doesn’t
know about the printing business is not
worth learning. And, besides, he is a
superior business man, and will, doubtless,
prove a valuable acquisition to that ster
ling and popular journal.— Oglethorpe Echo.
When “Larry” Gantt was an ap
prentice in Mr. Pughe’s office he was
one of the hardest-to-beat type stickers
out of some twenty hands. He could
stick his case against the wall and set
up his fifteen or twenty thousand ems
without any trouble.
A Remarkable Professional Success.
—Among the notable professional men
of this country who have achieved ex
traordinary success is Dr. R. Y. 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, &nd 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 rewarded in a remark
able degree. Iu 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 bas 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.—

THE MUNICIPAL CAMPAIGN.
WARD MEETINGS LAST EVENING.
Nomination of Candidates for Member
of Council in the Second Ward-
Primary Election to be IleLi in the
Fourth.
SECOND WARD.
Pursuant to call, a meeting of the
Second Ward Democratic Club was
held at the City Hull last evening, at
half-past seven o’clock.
The meeting was called to order by
Dr. Sterling C. Eve, Vice-President of
the Club. The Chairman stated that
the first business in order, was the
election of officers of the Cub for the
ensuing year.
On motion of L. A. Dugas, Jr., the
old officers were re-elected by acclama
tion. The Chairman said the next
business in order was the selection of
three candidates for Council from the
Second Ward.
Mr. J. H. Dugas moved that the
meeting proceed to ballot for candi
dates. :
Mr. J. A. Gray nominatedithe follow
ing ticket: J. B. Pournelle, J. K. Evans
and Edw. O’Donnell, and moved that
they be elected by acclamation. Two
of the gentlemen were old members of
Council, and he hoped that they would
serve their constituents as well in the
future as they had in tho past. He
would like to nominate for the third, Mr.
Barrett, but he had positively declined
to be a candidate.
Mr. Dwyer nominated the following
ticket:
Salem Dutcher, Carlton Hillyer, Z.
McCord.
W. Fred Eve, Esq., said that Mr.
Dutcher positively declined to be a can
didate.
Mr. Gray withdrew his motion to
nominate by acclamation, and tho reso
lution to vote by ballot was adopted.
The Chairman appointed Messrs. J.
A. Gray, E. A. Heggie and Abram Levy
as tellers. The meeting then proceed
ed to ballot, with the following result:
J. K. Evans 108
John B. Pournelle 103
Edward O’Donnell 100
Carlton Hillyer 35
Z. McCord 13
Salem Dutcher 1
Messrs. McCord and Dutcher were
not candidates.
S. Warren Mays, Esq., said the next
thing in order was the appointment of
ten delegates to the Mayoralty Conven
tion. He moved that the Chairman ap
point the delegates at his leisure. Tho
Chaiiman put the question and de
clared it carried.
A division was loudly called for.
The Chairman said a division was
useless as he had already decided the
question.
J. C. C. Black, Esq., said the call for
division was a matter of right. He
came here merely to vote and not to
speak, but he considered it his duty to
protest against such a proceeding.
The cry of “fire” was raised outside,
and a rush made for the door on the
part of many. A motion to adjourn
was now made.
S. F. Webb. Esq., said that while he
was in favor of the motion, he felt that
fair play demanded that the true voice
of the meeting should prevail, and he
therefore requested that the motion to
adjourn should not prevail, and a fair
vote be taken and announced.
The Chairman, requested those in
favor of Mr. Mays’ motion, to goto one
side of the house, and those against, to
the other. He then appointed S. War
ren Mays, Esq., and Mr. J. E. Wheeler
as tellers.
Mr. Webb objected to the appoint
ment of Sergeant Wbeeler, because he
was an officer under the city govern
ment, and therefore an interested
party. He knew that Mr. Wheeler
understood that he meant to cast no
reflection on him, but he objected to
the precedent.
Mr. James A. Gray said it was wrong
to ostracise a man because ho was a
policeman. Was it for a moment thought
that because Lieut. Wheeler was a po
lice officer, ho would not count right?
Mr. Webb said he meant no such
thing, and that Mr. Wheeler must know
that his feelings toward him were
friendly, and that he had utmost confi
dence in him.
The committee proceeded to count,
but, but, after completing it, and before
any announcement was made, another
motion to adjourn was made. A scene
of confusion then ensued.
Mr. Mays said he was convinced,
from the count, that the side opposed
to his motion was in the majority, but
he declared against the proceeding as
wrong. The Chairman had already de
clared the vote.
The Chairman agreed with Mr. Mays.
The appointment of tellers to count
was illegal, and the count could not,
therefore, be announced. It; was after
wards understood that the count re
sulted as follows;
For Mr. Maya’ motion * 32
Opposed to the motion Cf 53
Col. T. G. Barrett moved the election
of a ticket of delegates by acclamation
and read a list of names.
Several motions were made to ad
journ. Finally, after considerable par
liamentary discussion, the meeting ad
journed without having made any pro
vision for the appointment of delegates
to the Mayoralty Convention.
Fourth Ward Meeting,
Pursuant to a call in the city papers,
a meeting of the registered voters of
the above ward was held last night a',
the Upper Market House, Mitt Sheron,
Esq., President, in the chair,
It was moved that the present offi
cers be re-elected for the ensuing year,
Mr. B. Doris was nominated in oppo
sition to Mr. Sheron.
The President appointed Mr. M.
Hyams temporary chairman. That
gentleman placed both names to the
meeting, and decided, on a call for ayes
and noes, that Mr. B. Doris was chosen
President of the Fourth Ward Demo
cratic Club.
Mr. Doris returned thanks for the
honor conferred on him, tied stated
that though the position was unsought
him, he would try and act fairly and
squarely to all parties.
Mr. P. F. Dunne was elected Vice-
President by acclamation, and E. H.
Pughe re-elected Secretary in the same
manner.
It was then moved and seconded that
the President appoint ten delegates to
the Mayoralty Convention.
It was also moved that the delegates
be elected by the meeting then present.
On being placed to a vote, the chair
decided that he was empowered to ap
point the delegates.
Mr. Walsh said that the fairest way
was for the meeting to elect delegates.
He was opposed to conferring the
power on any man to appoint delegates
to the Convention. It was not Demo
cratic, and conferred too much power
on the President. He was in favor of
an honest expression of opinion, and
this could only be arrived at by the
people expressing their choice. The
meetings of the Fourth Ward had
sometimes, unfortunately, been char
acterized by disorder and turbulence.
This was a disgraco to the ward. The
meetings should be conducted with
order and propriety. Mr. Walsh ap
pealed from the decision of the Chair,
and requested him to put the motion of
appeal. Some oue then moved t*o sus
tain the decision of the Chair, which
was put and declared carried. Mr.
Walsh said tho Chair was not in favor
of a fair expression of opinion, as it
was clear that a large majority of the
voters present were opposed to the
Chair appointing delegates. Under the
circumstances, Mr. Walsh advised the
withdrawal of all citizens who were in
favor of an honest expression of opin
ion, when nearly two-thirds withdrew
from the meeting.
It was then moved that tho meeting
adjourn sine die. Carried.
AN ADJOURNED MEETING
was held in the Hall of the Irish Volun
teers.
Mr. Finch moved that Hon. P. Walsh
take the chair. Carried.
The chairman, in assuming his posi
tion, said that this meeting was called
as there was no disposition at the
Engine House to give the voters of the
Fourth Ward a fair expression of
opinion. He was not any man’s man.
He thought that it would be in order to
select officers of the Democratic Club
of the Fouith Ward.
Matt Sheron, Esq., was placed in
nomination for President, and was
chosen by acclamation.
That gentleman, on taking his seat,
thanked the meeting for the honor con
ferred upon him, and was sure that
the citizens present represented the
men of substance in the Ward.
Mr. O. G. Lynch was elected Vice-
President, and E. H. Pughe, Secretary,
both by acclamation.
Mr. Walsh moved that ten delegates
be chosen to the Mayoralty Conven
tion ; that they be elected by acclama
tion one at a time. Carried.
Messrs. O. G. Lynch, P. Walsh, J. H.
Parker, Wm. Finch, E. H. Pughe, Wm.
Mulherln, F. Cogin, E. D. Wingard, H.
Fulghum and E. J. O’Connor vrore
respectively elected.
The next business in order being the
nomination of three members of Coun
cil, it was moved that, the polls be
opened at ten o’clock this morning,
and closed at four p. m., at the Upper
Market House, for said purpose.
It was then moved that three citizens
be appointed to manage the Primary
Election, and that none but registered
voters be allowed to vote. Carried.
The Chair selected Eli Branson, E.
D. Wingard and Jas. McAndrew as said
managers.
The meeting then adjourned.
Amusements.
Avery large and fashionable audi
ence assembled on Thursday night; at
the Opera House, to witness the p lay
of the “Two Orphans,” a translation
from the French of D’Ennery and Cor
mon. There was considerable dissatis
faction evinced by many who had paid
for reserved seats, and, by some freiuk
of the management, were deprived of
that which they had paid an extra price
for. Some little delay occurred, as the
stage was so dirty that sweepers
were still at work at the hour sot
down for the performance to begin.
At last, the apology for a curtain
was drawn up and the audience wore
presented with a well sot scene, pre
senting a view of the place Port Neuf,
with a view of the Bridgo and Notre
Dame. The plot of the play has been
stripped of considerable of its French
sinistrous .thrusts at morality, but
enough of the leaven remains to mako
a gentleman hesitate about taking his
wife or sweetheart to witness it. Brief
ly told, two young orphan girls ar
riving in Paris from the country, and
one of them awaking a low passion in
the breast of a nobleman, ho employs
several of his myrmidons to abduct
her. The girl is carried to his
chateau, and her abductor leaves
a blind sister uncared for in the
street. The pretty orphan girl is res
cued by another French nobleman, and
placed in a garret home, from which
she is wrested by order of the noble
man’s uncle, who wishes to prevent a
marriage between the nephew and the
girl, and placed in prison. Meantime,
the blind sister has fallen into the
clutches of the Frouchard family, a
gang of thieves, who beat her and com
pell her to beg for their support. —
The two brothers Frouchard quarrel
about the blind girl, and in the seventh
act one of them, Pierre (a cripple),
stabs his brother, Jacques, and
the girl escapes. The old woman
Frouchard is arrested, the noble
man and his love are permitted
to marry, and the curtain closes on
a very unsatisfactory termination. We
had about forgotten to say that the
blind girl was found to be the daughter
of the virtuous nobleman’s aunt, by
a peasant husband. Taken as a whole,
the play was handsomely presented,
and the costumes were elegant and ap
propriate. The most affecting scene of
the play was that of the sixth act,
when to liberate Henriette, the sister
superior in charge of the prison, lends
her aid to procure the girl’s release.
The scene affected many to tears. So
excited were the audience daring the
seventh act, that many ladies and
gentlemen rose to their feet to witness
the struggle between the brothers
Frouchard. In the fourth act—a snow
scene—the actors shivered naturally
enough, and before the play was con
cluded, La Fronchard, Mrs. J. H.
Rogers, was so hoarse she could
scarcely talk. Hall’s Combination is
composed of an excellent class of play
ers, and no doubt, In some of the
“society” plays, such as- “Divorce”
“Saratoga” or “Led Astray,” would
appear to better advantage. This
Combination is certainly one of the
most talented that has appeared of
late'years before an Augusta audience.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TBS AIT *
GUSTA MARKETS.
Constitutionalist Office, _ !
6 o’clock P. M., November 26th, 1875.1
Financial.
Currency Is far fro™ abundant. New
York Exchange was sold at 2-10 on lot
banks, and 3-10 off for others.
Remarks.
The week has been a quiet one, and the
volume of trade has been light compared
with last year. The outlook is more prom
ising, however, and what trade is doing, is
a careful one. Not a single failure has been
reported for the week.
The Cotton Market has dragged all the
week, and confined mostly to the better
grades; lower grades have been neglected.
Prices keep prettv steady, as all appear to
be at sea about the extent of the crop, as
the estimates of the National Cotton Ex
change and the Washington Agricultural
Bureau so widely differ. There appears to
be but little disposition on the part of
buyers to operate.
The Course of Cotton.
(From the N. Y. Bulletin, November 23.)
We have again to report a somewhat
spiritless market, though on the whole the
position has been pretty well sustained,
and the average advantage was with the
selling interest. The principal gain was
made on the purdication of the agricultu
ral bureau report, from which it was figu
red out that the crop indications pointed
to less than four million bales, and though
subsequently agreat deal of the effect of
this was neutralized by il*p absence of any
positive demand to invest the over-sold
condition of the market and the calls from
the shorts to cover, would be pretty sure
to bring back any little downward turn
on prices taking place from day today. The
receipts at the ports have been pretty full,
the supply of cotton increasing, but the
amount available small, as there Is
an accumulating making against early
maturing contracts. Theoretically the
views of operators are about the sameas
noted last week. These looking for a rise
calculated upon the comparatively low
ruling rates and the prospect that such
must ultimately attract more general con
sumpme attention, and also upon a
shorter supply of cotton than now admit
ted as likely; while on the other hand the
claim is for full if not surplus crop, the
slow call thus far from customers, the
same sort of condition of the goods mar
ket, and the dull movement of all classes
of merchandise, with accummulating evi
dences that buyers can only be attracted
by easy terms. The increasing shipments
of American cotton goods to European
outlets has occasioned some remark, but
seems to exercise no cided influence on
material thus far, operators asserting that
even should the movement assume exten
sive proportions, so far as raw cotton is
1 concerned, it will be merely a change in
the point of delivery to consumers.
On “spot” there lias been, on the whole, a
fair amount of business reported, and
prices have made another slight fractional
gain. The call was general, including or
ders from both the home and foreign out
lets. Spinners have adhered pretty closely
to the old-time policy of merely meeting
known early wants, but two or three of the
larger Eastern manufacturers have been
seen here, and it was intimated that they
would have taken much more stock on a
slight shading from ruling rates. A great
many export rs have again had about all
the cotton they could attend to, coming in
on deliveries on contract, but a few were
looking for something rather higher iu
quality than could be obtained in this way,
and to meet such special wants the demand
increased. Offerings have been moderate,
and a great many parcels are virtually off
the market to await the issue on November
contracts. To arrive, the offerings were
fair, and something done early in the week,
but, subsequently, sellers’ ideas worked up
too high for anything to be pui chased with
much advantage. Iu transit, the amount
available was full, and some little business
was done, but buyers not anxious.
On contracts the week opened with the
tone slack, under an impression that the
bureau report would indicate a full crop.
The contrary being the case there was a
decided reaction for a time, and a little
scramble of the “ shorts” to cover, es
pecially among those who had re
cently sold on light margins. This was
followed bv a turn downward again, in the
absence of strong response from Liverpool
on the receipt of the j educed crop esti
m ites, but after this prices made a slow re
covery, as the “ bears” had not sufficient
strength or confidence to pursue their ad
vantage to any extent. Indeed, the feeling
was that the market continued largely
oversold, and a reduction of the short in
terest was better even for the interest of
operators for a decline. The prospect of a
“ corner” on this month is now coming up
more frequently, and November has cer
tainly been firmer anu ruled the other de
liveries to a large extent. Stocks of cotton
here, however, are pretty full and owners
refusing to offer at present with freedom,
while other lots moving in this direction
fro n recent purchases South, indicate
that there will be a pretty goQd supply of
cotton available when the end of the month
! arrives.
