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 fun Clipper. 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: FIRST RACE—ONE AND A HALF MILE DASH.

Cates was burned on Wednesday, involving the loss of seven bales of cotton, the seed of twenty-five more, and the gin and gearing, valued at fifteen hundred dollars. The fire caught while the gin was running, and is supposed to have originated by friction or a match. Judge Gibson held court on Tuesday and Wednesday, and adjourned until Friday. The bar of Augusta and Burke being generally in attendance upon the Supreme Court at Atlanta, the docket cannot be regularly taken up before next week. A few cases of no general importance whatever were disposed of. Judge Twiggs, Judge Bothwell, John T. Shewmake, Frod. Lockhart and Solicitor General Jack son have been in attendance. The jail is pretty full of prisoners- The grand jury will ignore the parties accused of insurrection a few months ago. Morris, the ring leader, is in one of Judge Johnson’s jails and will be disposed of by him. The Waynesboro Expositor has de clared for Hon. S. A. Corker as the next candidate for Congress from the Sa vannah District. He is universally popular in his own and adjoining coun ties, having served in the second ses sion of the Forty-First Congress from the Eighth very ably and acceptably to his constituents. He is a gentleman everybody likes, was a gallant soldier in the war, and would represent his district ably and well at Washington. Personal. Matt O’Brien, Editor of the Atlantic Coast Line Journal, has presented us with the initial number of his paper. It is a well printed sheet, and gives very full information regarding the route from Boston, Mass., to Jacksonville, Fla. _ Planters’ Hotel. . On Thursday, the Planters’ Hotel reopened, and the occasion was em braced by B. P. Chatfleld, Esq., the pro prietor, to invite a few friends to par take of a Thanksgiving Dinner. The cuisine of the celebrated hotel is one of the best in the South, and the guests were loud in their praise of the elegant dinner offered for their en joyment.

The weather yesterday was raw and uncomfortable. Port Royal is doing finely, and is becoming a'favorite route for cotton shippers. A day after the fair —there were plenty of dressed turkeys in the mar ket yesterday. Only one case before the Recorder yesterday—a plain drunk,who was fined $2.50.

Old Neptune in the City Hall Park looks rather scaly. Some good Samari tan should give him ve coat of paint. There will be an extra race this afternoon at 3 o’clock. The entries are all first-class horses. O’Hara, the great pedestrian, walks to-day at the Fair Ground. He is said to rival Weston. The match has created considerable interest. A rapid dog attacked Miss Julia Dampha, near the Augusta Factory, on Thursday, and her clothes were badly torn before the dog was driven off. An excursion train over the Char lotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad brought to town nearly five hundred persons on Thursday. A young Swede applied yesterday to Mayor Estes for a free ticket to Atlanta. He said he had walked all the way from Savannah, occuping a week in doing it, and for three days had not eaten but one meal. Cotton movements yesterday: re ceipts, two thousand four hundred and three bales ; sales, one thousand seven hundred and seventy-four bales. As the steamer Huntsville of the Port Royal route, met the steamer America disabled, and had to tow her back to New York, it detained the Huntsville two days. She arrived, how ever, at Port Royal on Thursday night. An enterprising cigar dealer in Eufau la, Ala., has named anew brand of cigars—“ The Alplieus Baker.” If his cigars are as popular as the gentlemen they are named after, they must have a brisk sale. The present stir in the navy yards has elicited some facts about our navy which are by ny means flattering to the vanity of the American people. Of the fifty-one iron clads on the roster, only twelve are fit for immediate ser vice ; the balance would go to the bot tom in a moderate gale, and can only be used in harbor defence. The question of increasing the weights in the stake races, run under the aus pices of our leading jockey clubs, is being agitated. It is felt that the American turf has grown out of its in fancy, and it is time that “ baby” racing should cease. When the weights are raised and men of ability are al lowed mounts in the two and three year old races, there will be far greater interest in the sport. There is not so much difference between English and American horses as the difference in the weights carried would seem to im ply. Daniel Gardner (colored) declines to be a candidate for Council. F. P. John son (colored), also declines to run, both from the Fourth Ward. The local of the Constitutionalist Is very sweet on Miss Anna Berger, of the “Bell Ringers.” Her violet eyes and lips like scarlet Japouica buds is the most delight ful vision ” he has seen in many a day. [Macon Telegraph. The gush spoken of appeared in the Chronicle and Sentinel— therefore, friend Watson, we plead “not guilty.” Wick ed rumor says, the rhapsody came from the brilliant mind of a very dig nified gentleman, who must have ogled the lady considerably. The “ locals ” of both the Augusta papers are mar 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.— [Missouri Republican (St. Louis). nov23-tuthsa&fo 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. BUSINESS NOTICES.

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.

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.
