Presentation, A most pleasant affair came off last evening at the hall of Richmond Lodge, No. 43, I. O. G. T. The lodge having voted a gold medal to the member bringing into the organization the largest number of members during the quarter ending October 31, the presen tation occurred last evening. Ged (lings Lamb, recording secretary, on behalf of the Lodge, presented the medal to Mrs. A. M. Verdery, and a re ply on her behalf was made by [Mason Bridges. The medal is in the shape of a Maltese cross. In the centre is a heart, anchor and cross, and suitable inscriptions surround them. New Book. Infelice. A novel By Augusta Evans Wilson. After a silence of several fyears, the author of “Beulah,” “St. Elmo” and “Vashti” comes before the public in a new work entitled as above. The thousands of her admirers will not fail to secure this latest production of her matured genius. We are told that the orders for this novel are so enormous at the North and South that it is with difficulty printers and binders can sup ply the demand. The volume before us is an elegant specimen from the publishing house of Carleton & Cos. We are indebted to Mr. Pendleton for our copy, and at his counter the book is now ready for sale. Horrible Outrage. About 5 o’clock on Sunday afternoon, Mackie Merriwether living in Edge field, S. C., was walking along a road a few hundred yards from his house, and was near the store of Reese and Shaw, when be observed two negroes rapidly approaching him. Mr. Merriwether suspected something hostile was in tended, as he has been threatened for wounding a negro in the melee, which occurred between the whites and blacks a year ago in Edgefield. As the negroes came up to him, he stepped to one side and attempted, to defend himself with a small stick he carried, but one of the negroes stabbed him several times, and Mr. Merriwether was left weltering in his blood. A short time after, a gentle man who came along the road, discover ed Mr. Merriwether’s condition and gave the alarm. Some of the citizens turned out to search for the assassin, but were met by a crowd of about thirty negroes armed with guns and other weapons, who swore no arrest should be made. A o the blacks were numeri cally stronger than the other party, the murderous negro made good his escape. The First Ward Baptist Church con gregation will have a parlor concert and festival on Thursday evening at the residence of Mr. N. Davis, No. 42 proad street. MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS. Meeting at the City Hall Last Evening —Only Two Wards Represented—Dr. L. D. Ford Nominated for Mayor— Dr. Jones Moves an Address to the People—Suppressed Correspondence —Political Gossip. A report having gained currency yesterday, that a meeting of persons opposed to Mr. Estes would meet at the City Hall, at eight o’clock p. m., our representative proceeded to the Superior Court Room, which was found lighted up and ready. At half-past seven p. m., there were eight persons in the room together with the two “locals” of the city papers. At eight p. m. twenty-four persons were pres ent, by actual count, and in a few minutes, a number of the published delegates appeared, and, with those who came with them, swelled the total number in the room to about seventy five. John Phinizy, Esq., moved that Gen. Stovall act as chairman, and it was agreed to. Dr. E. W. Harker was nominated and selected for Secretary. The chairman, in taking the chair, said that it was a time-honored custom of the Democratic party to send dele gates to a convention to nominate a Mayor. Two Wards had, however, failed to send delegates, but he believed the delegates present had authority to nominate a Mayor. Mr. S. Warren Mays moved that the roll of delegates be called. Car ried. The roll was called and the following gentlemen answered: Second Ward— John Phinizy, M. S. Kean, W. H. Chew, E. W. Harker, J. P. Bondurant, S. Warren Mays, Salem Dutcher, Joseph Graham, Evans Heg gie. Fourth Ward—Gen. M. A. Stovall, M. Hyams, C. H. Johannsen, P. Glea son, P. M. Mulherin, A. A. Beall, John Byrne, J. O’Hara, Dr. M. J. Jones, M. McDermott. Mr. Dutcher moved that the conven tion of delegates present, receive the names of gentlemen to be placed in nomination for Mayor. Cariied. Mr. Phinizy nominated Dr. L. D. Ford for Mayor. The Chairman after a silence of a few minutes duration, asked if there were any other names to be placed in nomination, and there being no re sponse, he put the question, and Dr. Ford was unanimously placed in nomi nation. Mr. Hyams moved to adjourn, but the motion was not seconded. Dr. Jones then moved that a Com mittee of Four be appointed to pre pare a suitable address to the people. Gen. Stovall asked : “Two from each ward ?” Mr. Webb replied : “Yes; that is un derstood ?” Gen. Stovall—“Do I understand two from each ward in the city ?” Dr. Jones —“No; two from each ward represented in the Convention.” The Chairman then announced the committee as follows: Second Ward—John Phinizy, Salem Dutcher. Fourth Ward—P. M. Mulherin, C. H. Johannsen. Mr. Webb moved that the chairman of the meeting be chairman of the committee. Carried. Mr. Dutcher then addressed the convention. He said he regretted i to notice that two wards had failed to send delegates. Two wards of the city were represented, however, and it was a mere technicality or a failure of the machinery, that accounted for the ab sence of delegates from the first and third wards. He trusted that represen tatives of the first and third wards would be invited to join in the present movement. He further said, that this convention did not arrogate to itself the power to dictate to the other wards, and he hoped a cordial invitation would be extended to them to co-operate as friends, neighbors and citizens. On motion, at 8:30 p. m. the meeting adjourned. SUPPRESSED CORRESPONDENCE. A report was current that some cor respondence had taken place between the gentlemen who met at the City Hall last evening and the officers of the First and Third Ward Democratic Clubs. After some trouble, we obtained the following copies of letters : Don. Robert May, President of Democratic Club of the Third Ward: Sir : In accordance with the custom pur sued by the Democratic Club, of the several Wards of the city of Augusta, we authorized by the Democracy of our respective Wards have appointed delegates to meet delegates of the First and Third Wards in convention for the purpose of nominating a Demo cratic candididate for Mayor of Augusta. We respectfully request that you notify the delegates from the Third Ward to meet the delegates of the other Wards at the City Hall at 8 o’clock this evening November •29th, 1875. B. Doris, President of Fourth Ward Club. Sterling C. Eve. Vice-President and Chairman. B. Doris, President Fourth Ward ; Sterling C. Eve, Vice President and Chairman: Gentlemen— Tour communication was handed me by R. H. May, President of the Third Ward Club, requesting him to notify delegates from the Third Ward to meet delegates from your Wards, this evening, at eight o’clock, at the City Hall, to nomi nate candidates for Mayor. It becomes my duty to inform you that the Democrats of the Third Ward, on the evening of the 22d inst., decided that they preferred voting directly for their choice to represent them as Mayor and nominated Hon. Charles Estes by a large majority, for Mayor, con sequently no delegates were elected or ap pointed. I trust the above will bo satisfactory. By order of Rob’t H. May, President. G. W. Bouchillon, Secretary of the Third Ward Club GOSSIP AROUND TOWN. From a careful survey of the politi cal situation, and conversation with gentlemen favorable to the nomi nation of Hon. Charles Estes and those in the opposition, we are of opinion that Mr. Estes appears to have the hearty support of the ma jority of those who have the interests of the city at heart. It is true the gentlemen who oppose Mr. Estes are de termined in their opposition, but there does not appear to be any well settled plan in their movements, but we pre sume the plan for the campaign and grounds of opposition to Mr. Estes will appear in the address voted last night, which will be found in another column. MINOR LOCALS. The Washington Light Artillery have received the two caissons from the Augusta Arsenal, referred to several days since. The schooner Jordan has arrived at Port Royal with a load of guano from Baltimore for General M. A. Stovall. The concluding races to-day, will commence at two o’clock p. m., sharp. They will be very fine, and the low price of admission should ensure a large number of spectators. The pastors of the Methodist Epis copal Churches of this city, will leave this morning for the North Georgia Conference, which meets at Griffin. There were no cases before the Re corder’s Court yesterday. We cannot understand how we are to fill our local columns, if the police keep the city in such an orderly condition. No mur der, drunkeness or disorder, reported iu the city for twenty-four hours. It is understood, the time of the fast mail train on the Georgia Railroad is to be reduced one hour next week. The trip will be made between Augusta and Atlanta in seven hours instead of eight as at present. The road is always adopting improvements favoring the interests of the traveling publio. Charity begins at home, but after you’ve attended to your home, don’t forget the thousands in this city unable to attend to theirs. Open your hearts and your purses, for “the poor ye have always with you.” A small girl in Macon cut her finger, a few days ago, and her fond mother ordered John to run quickly to a cer tain street and bring a doctor. “If one ain’t in,” were the orders, “ leave word and go to the next.” John obeyed orders, and twenty-one doctors called in the course of aD hour. “ From what you know of him, would you believe him under oath ? ” “ That depends on circumstances. If he was so much intoxicated that he did not know what he was saying, I would ; if not, I wouldn’t.” The first grand hop of the Oglethorpe Social Club occurs on Wednesday. It will be a recherche affair, judging by the past record of the club and the names of the gentlemen having the direction of the matter. The matrons of the club will attend. Yesterday morning, between nine and ten o’clock, one of the “flyers” from the Fair Grounds, attached to a sulky, while going at a rapid rate through Greene street, swerved to one side, near the City Hall, and smashed the sulky against a fence. The driver escaped without injury. One of the numerous class of “intel ligent compositors,” changed a word in the report of the Augusta Exchange on Saturday which made nonsense out of the first resloution. It should read : 1. Resolved, That any member who shall bid upon, or offer for sale, any security and afterwards fail to receive and pay for, or deliver the security bought or sold by him in accordance with the rules of this Ex change, shall upon proof thereof be im mediately posted and expelled. There is a man in the Hospital who is suffering from an old wound received in discharge of his duty as a Confede rate soldier. He is represented to be in very destitute circumstances. His record as a gallant soldier is undispu ted, and his case is one which appeals stroDgly to the charitable. THE COURTS. November 25, 1875. CITY COURT. The case of John H. Parker vs. W. B. Joppliog was decided by a verdict of $266.43 for the plaintiff, with interest and costs. The case of (garnishment) Joseph Lawson vs. H. Morrison was decided for the plaintiff. COUNTY COURT. A negro named Miller, a tramp, who was caught stealing corn from Hunter Wimberly, another colored man, and was shot by the latter, was tried and found guilty of simple larceny. Judge Snead sentenced him to one year in the city chain-gang. George Harris alias Taylor Harris, a negro charged with cheating and swindling, was discharged for want of evidence. Christian Church. The beautifui stained glass window representing the baptism of our Saviour by St. John, has been taken out of the window at the rear of the platform and returned to the manufacturers. A lady, whose voice is potent in the affairs of the church, objected to any picture of our Saviour representing him in human form ; hence, the^change. It is probable the organ will be lo cated on the ground floor at the right of the platform, and the gallery destin ed for the organ will be set apart for the uses of the Sunday-school library. No selection of an organ has been made yet, but in all likelihood, the same gen erous purse that has erected in this city one of the finest churches in the State, will contribute the organ. Every per son of taste cannot fail to be pleased at the change of the location of the organ 1 It has been ascertained that incipient chorea or St. Vitus’ dance is increasing among school girls, and it may be traced by nervous twitching of the hands and the muscles of the face. Also, chronic headaches, fainting fits and epileptic hysterical seizures, are more numerous than they should be, and more especially among the young girls approaching womanhood. The cause is undoubtedly over-study and anxiety of mind, produced by inability to master the allotted studies. The diseases of the school room, it is also thought, might possibly be alleviated by change or construction and better attention to oolor, and by reducing the number of hours required for study. That was a profound philosopher who compared advertising to a growing crop. He said, “The farmer plants his seed, and while he is sleeping the corn is growing. So with advertising ; while you are sleeping or eating, your ad vertisement is being read by thou sands of persons who never saw you nor heard of your business, nor ever would but for your advertising.” Sudden Death. Just before daybreak yesterday, the wife of Solomon L. Bassford, and iscovered that her husband was cold and ap parently dead. She gave the alarm and every means were at once taken to resuscitate him but without avail. Mr. Bassford is the well known brick maker, and resided in Mclntosh street near the ice house. It was reported that the deceased took poison but the Coroner’s inquest thoroughly dispelled this unfounded report. Thu Coroner impannelled a jury yesterday,'•omposed of the following gentlemen: C. A. Robbe, J. G. Marsh, D. A. Philpot, F. W. Haley, S. S. Parmalee, W. J. Rutherford, W. W. Bansley, J. M. Richards, James McCann, Richard Kelly, D. H. Denning, P. L, Cohen. After an examination of the body and listening to the evidence of several witnesses, on the report of Dr. Sterling E. Eve, the jury found that Mr. Bassford died of apoplexy. The de ceased served in Company I, Rich mond Huzzars during the late war, and was known as a most gallant soldier. He will be buried with Masonic honors by Webb Lodge, No. 166 F. & A. M. members of which will find a notice of a called meeting in another column. The Veteran Cavalry Association will also turn out to attend his funeral, which will take place at ten o’clock this morning. Correspondence. Augusta, Ga., Nov. 29,1875. Dr. Lewis D. Ford : Dear Sir : As President of the Dem ocratic Municipal Convention, I take pleasure in informing you that at the meeting of that body to-night., at the City Hall, you were unanimously nom inated as the regular Democratic can didate for Mayor of Augusta, at the election on Wednesday next. Your well known aversion to politics almost inspires me with some apprehension that you may not be willing to accept the position thus tendered you; but when we contemplate the : present alarming condition, financial and otherwise, of our city, and realize that it is only by the sacri fice of personal prepossessions to the public good that we can once more enter on the era of good and economical government, which once so eminently distinguished Augusta, I am sure you cannot but consent to serve. In your case, sir, the golden prin ciple of the Madisonian doctrine is fully verified. The office has emphatically sought the man, and not tho man the office. Your acceptance of the nomination tendered you will be hailed with heart felt satisfaction by your fellow-citizens, and, awaitiDg your reply, I am, Yours, respectfully, M. A. Stovall, President. Augusta, Ga., November 29th, 1875. General M. A. Stovall, President Demo cratic Nominating Convention: General : Your communication of this date, takes me by surprise. I accord fully with your representa tion of the necessity of a thorough in vestigation of our Municipal affairs. Conscious of not having sought this nomination, either directly or indirect ly, I yield to the argument of the Madi sonian dictum, quoted by you, and hailiDg with pleasure any step in a re turn to the sound usages of the pure days of the Republic. I accept the nomination. Respectfully, your obedient servant and fellow citizen, Lewis D. Ford. The Jockey Club Races. Yesterday, the attendance at the Fair Grounds was somewhat limited,but the races were very good, and gave satis faction to those who witnessed them. The first race was a dash of one and a half miles for a purse of $l5O, for which the following horses entered: s. h. Hartland, s. h. Abdelkorre, b. g. Thos. O’Neil, and ch. h. Egypt. It was closely contested between Thonftis O’Neil and Egypt; Thomas O’Neil winning by a neck. Abdelkorre came in about three lengths behind Egypt, and Hartland came in about one length behind Abdel korre. Time, 2:43%. The second race was mile heats, the best three in five, for all ages, for a purse of $250, for which the following entries were made: ch. h. Vandal, Jr., b. m. Mary Long, b. c. Ascot, b. m. Lutitia H. SUMMARY. Ascot 1 2 dis. Mary Long 2 1 2 Lutitia H 3 4 1 Vandal, Jr 4 33 Time, 1:48%, 1:49%, 1:51%. The races will be concluded to-day. Under the rules Vandal, jr., not win ning a heat is sent to stable. The following entries have been made for the races to-day: Ist Race—half mile dash, Miss Mug gins, Vandal, jr., Ascot, and Mollie Darling. 2d Race—three-quarter mile dash, First Chance, Lottie Moon, and Mollie Darling. Consolation Abdekorre, Century, Hartland, and Larry Hart. The Mayoralty. As the question of the eligibility of a Mayor for more terms than flvo has again been mooted, we reproduce from the files of the Chronicle & Sentinel of December Ist, 1874, the following com munication : Editors Chronicle & Sen'inel: The question of eligibility of the Mayor of Augusta having been frequently dis cussed in this community, and always set tled by the 4th section of the original char ter of the city,! it may not be out of place to state here that that section, so far as it concerns the eligibility of the Mayor, has been repealed The passage of the 4th sec tion of the charter of 1798 referred to reads as follows: “ But no person shall be eligible to serve as Intendant for more than five years in any term of seven years.”— City Code, page 5. By the act of December 19th, 1817, the appellation of Intendant was changed to that of Mayor.— City Code, page XIX, 2d, Ed. By the act of December 28th, 1835, the charter was amended, and the second sec tion is as follows: “And be it enacted by the authority afore said, That so much of the 4th section of the act incorporating said city, nassed on the 31st day of January, 1798, as limits the eligibility of the Intendant or Mayor of said city, be, and the same is hereby, re pealed.”—City Code, page 207. It is probable that this change was made to accommodate the case of Ron. Wm. Hale, who held the office for several years longer than the term allowed by the origi nal charter. Duzenbubry.

Dr. A. Boschee’s German Syrup has lately been intro duced in this country from Germany, and its wondrous cures astonishes every one that try it. If you doubt what we say in print, cut this out and take it to your Druggist—F. A. Beall and Barrett & Land—and get a sam ple bottle for 10 cents and try it, or a regular size for 75 cents. nov3o-d&ftuthsat&c Popular.— So popular have Dr. Price’s True Flavoring Extracts and Cream Baking Powder become that but few kitchens can be found where they are not used, and their introduction io any household is the advent of new pleasures at the table and higher de light in the lighter edibles supplied by the careful house-keeper. Dr. Price has succeeded in both these important domestic necessities, in producing ar ticles hitherto unequalled. His fla vorings are peculiarly delicious, and so highly concentrated that it takes but a small quantity to impart the natural flavor of the fruit. His Cream Baking Powder should be bought only in cans, as loose powder is largely adulterated, and often sold as Dr. Price’s when it is not. nov3o-tuthsaeu&c Prompt Reinforcement.— When the physical energies are overtasked or flag through weakness or disease, they need prompt reinforcement. Renewed vigor is most speedily supplied through the medium of tonic stimulant, and among medicinal resources of that class, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters as suredly deserve a pre-eminent place. Weakness, whether constitutional or arising from disease or over-fatigue, cannot be bettor compensated for than by a resort to this prime strengthening cordial. The enfeebled invalid, the convalescent and the aged and infirm find that it is an unfailing source of vigor and comfort. Its combined tonic and alterative properties also consti tute it an invaluable remedy for indi gestion, weakness of the organs of urination, constipation, torpidity of the liver, and many other irregularities and disabilities, and render it an in valuable protection against malaria, as well as disorders of the stomach and bowels. nov3o-tuthsa&c Everything depends upon the healthy condition of the liver. You might as well expect a watch to keep good .time with the spring out of its proper posi tion as to expect to feel active and en ergetic with a torpid liver. The cele brated Home Stomach Bitters will awaken your dormant energies and arouse an inactive liver. Suppose you try them. nov3o-wefr&c CHINA TEA STORE BY lb N. HOTCHKISS.

They com manded the admiration of the true and the brave in every land. But how few admire a lino head enveloped in grey hair and whiskers!—very few. We all love admira tion, and nothing in our appearance is more calculated to secure it than pretty hair. If old age, sickness or sorrow has robbed you of it, you can regain it by the use of Dr. Tutt’s Hair Dye. Its populari ty is so great that it can bo found on the shelves of every druggist in the land. octl3-Buwedfr&cly ASSIGNEE’S SALK BIGNON & CRUMP, Auctioneers.
