Another Outrage.
From Conductor Youngblood, we
learn that, between eight and nine
o’clock, on Sunday evening, while John
M. Cohnors, a young man employed in
Daniels’ dry good store, in Millen, was
proceeding homeward, he was sudden
ly set upon by two negroes. He was
first struck over the head with a brick,
and knocked insensible. The villains
secured a small sum of money from
his persoD, and were in the act of
removing his watch, when some citi
zens came up and arrested them. Sum
mary justice should be meted out to
these blood-thirsty criminals. It is
feared young Connor’s wound will
prove fatal, as his skull is fractured.
Dr. Wharton’s Resignation.
We have been favored with a copy of
Rev. Dr. Wharton’s letter of resigna
tion, which is as follows:
Augusta. Ga., November 25th, 1875.
2b the First Baptist Church, Greene street,
Augnsta, Ga.:
Dear Brethren: When I accented your
call in February last, being in feeble health,
I did so on condition that only one regular
sermon should be required of me on the
Saobath until my health became stronger,
promising to substitute for the Sunday
night's sermon a more informal service.
The meetings were thus conducted until
church was closed for repairs. On re
opening the church, November Ist, the
opinion was expresse 1 by prominent breth
ren, in which I heartily concurred, that the
good of the church demanded that the
night’s sermon could not be dispensed with,
and that the social meeting could not take
its place in holding the congregation to
gether. I am unable to perform the addi
tional service required. I have tried the
experiment of preaching at night in oppo
sition to the advice of eminent physicians,
and held two regular Sabbath services since
re-entering tlie church, but only at the cost
of great physical prostration. Duty to my
self and to God demands that I should not
receat the experiment until my health is
imnroved. Nothing, therefore, remains
but for me to tender you my resignation,
which I do, trusting that God may send you
,Vne who physically, as well as otherwise,
nviv meet all the demands of the situation,
in being providentially compelled to thus
lover mV connection with the church, it
me pleasure to bear testimony to
vour uniform kindness and co-operation in
JO i rwa- and we may rejoice together
m orVho success of our cause which, under
aad vou may continue to beep
A rusting tha > sp int in the boads of
the o, n 't> V our affectionate pastor,
peace, I am, youi a M B VhartoN)

MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS.
THE NIGHT BEFORE THE BATTLE
MARSHALLING THE OPPOSITION
FORCES.
A Lively Meeting at the City Hall.
MAYOR ESTES SERENADED.
Who Drew Their “ Private ” Balance
From the Banking House
Before the Failure ?
Interesting Statement from Mayor
Estes.
Let Every Voter Go For the Best
Man.
In accordance with the call published
in a hand-bill, a very large and en
thusiastic meeting was held at the City
Hall last evening to ratify the nomina
tion made the evening before, of Dr.
Lewis D. Ford for Mayor.
The Superior Court Room was
crowded, and the proceedings were
marked by harmony and good feeling.
There was in attendance a large num
ber of very respectable aged gentle
men.
Dr. L. D. Ford made his appearance
at the hour named for the meeting to
commence, and was received with
cheers.
John Phinizy, Esq., called the meet
ing to order, ad Mr. Salem Dutcher
moved that Gan. Stovall act as chair
man of the meeting.
Mr. Salem Dutcher said, to perfect
the organization, it was necessary to
have suitable Vice-Presidents, and he
nominated the following gentlemen:
John Phinizy, John Craig, W. E. Evans,
Henry Myers, J. E. Eve, Anderson
Walton, W. H. Howard.
Dr. Jones moved that Dr. Sterling
C. Eve act as Secretary. Carried.
The Chairman announced the meet
ing ready for business, and P. M. Mul
herin moved that Dr. L. D. Ford
address the meeting.
Dr. Ford then came’.'forward and
said: Men find themselves in a strange
and singular position sometimes. Yes
terday, at twelve o’clock, while attend
ing to his professiomd duties, he little
dreamed he should be called upon to
be a nominee for Mayor, and be ad
dressing a political meeting. Here he
was, however, and the meeting well
knew it was without his solicitation,
thought or endeavor. He was told he
was the nominee of the Democratic
party of the city of Augusta for Mayor.
Unwisely, per hap 3, he said, he was
brought before them to discuss such
questions as relute to city
but he was not acquainted with
those affairs, and was disgusted with
all these municipal matters. Two or
three years ago, he went into a Demo
cratic Convention, but he was thor
oughly disgusted, when he found that
a proposition was submitted to have a
nomination made by a two-thirds
vote. In common with his friends,
he left the Convention in disgust —
especially in view of the fact that
this obnoxious two-thirds rule had
been sprung in the interests of
the present incumbent of the Mayor
ality. He was told he was nominated
by the Democratic party, but he was
sorry to know some of the wards had
violated a good old Democratic custom
in not sending delegates to the Nomi
nating Convention. [A band was heard
approaching and the Doctor’s voice
became indistinct]. There were very
important questions to be discussed;
questions connected with the finances,
taxation, and the keeping of the public
money—subjects he was not acquainted
with, and he trusted those who organ
ized this meeting would bring forward
those who could talk intelligently about
those matters. For his part, he should
devote himself to the discussion of the
one subject of the usurpations of
the present incumbent—Charles Estes.
Upon this subject, he should speak
with perfect freedom, truth and justice.
He now arraigned Mr. Estes here,
charging him with being a usurper of
authority which did not legitimately
belong to him. He should draw a line
between Charles Estes the citizen and
Charles Estes the Mayor of Augusta.
He has been given to usurping the au
thority of the various committees of
the Council of Augusta. All present
were aware of the organization of the
Council and how the various interests
are entrusted to committees of that
body. The Chairman of the Committee
of Streets and Drains, a very im
portant committee, was carrying out
the instructions of his committee
in regard to a drain at the cor
ner of Greene and Mclntosh streets,
when Mayor Estes came up and
dissipated the workmen. John B.
Pournelle was chairman of that com
mittee, and being jealous of its rights
made complaint to the Common Coun
cil. What was the result ? He was ig
nored and the workmens stopped. Mr.
Pournelle brought forward in the Com
mon Council a resolution defining the
rights of the chairman of the commit
tee. The Council refused to confirm
the resolution or ordinance, and thus
the chairman was snubbed and thrust
aside. The work of fixing the drain
was afterward carried out by the
usurping Mayor. Then the next Coun
cil was organized and this noble chair
man had his head cut off by the little
giant, and it dropped into the basket.
He had been out of these questions for
some time, but it came to hla ears that
no man in the city of Augusta was capa
ble of discharging the duties of Mayor of
Augusta, but Charles Estes. He had
submitted, because if others could live
under Mr. Estes’ administration, he
could. He had nothing to say against
the private character of Mr. Estes. A
change of administration is required.
He would give another example of the
usurpatory power. He would refer to
the Fire Engine Committee, of which
Uncle Alee Philip, whom all knew, was
chairman. Mr. Philip was applied to
by a citizen named Bleakley, for per
mission to remove a house. But along
came his Honor, the Mayor, and or
dered the workmen to disperse. In the
evening, Mr. Bleakley addressed a pe
tition to the Council, when the Council
sustained the chairman by gran
ting the permission. The Mayor
took it in high dudgeon, huffed
up and resigned. [Voice— “They had a
right to let him stay out.” The Mayor’s
usual machinery was placed in opera
tion, and he was asked to stay. It was
important at that time he should stay,
and the speaker would have asked him
to remain as Mayor if he had been
asked to do so. After the scimetar
had been applied to the head of the
Chairman of the Streets and Drains
Committee, there was another chairman
appointed, and he went to the new
chairman about a matter relating to
Streets and Drains, and the chairman
said : “1 don’t know anything about it;
go to Mr. Estes.” It was not worth
while to go into the details of that
transaction. He, the Mayor, had also
usurped the power of the Finance
Committee, and to tho damage of the
city to the amount of $48,000. How
did the city lose $48,000 at the hands
of Charles Estes ?
The bonds were issued and signed
by the different officials. They should
then be traced. These bonds passed into
the hands of the Collector and Treas
urer, Dr. Ignatius P. Garvin, and they
were safe there. He would say so
much for a man of integrity, and they
did not come out of his hands, except
in a legitimate way. The Mayor had
been given power to negotiate, and Dr.
Garvin never gave up those bonds, ex
cept on proper authority, and possibly
on the order of the Finance Committee.
It must have been a written order, be
cause tho Cerebus of the Treasury
would not allow them to go, except
on good authority. Mayor Estes
got them into liis hands that they
might be placed in the hands of
John J. Cohen & Sons. He did well.
He did as the speaker would have done.
But, he would have paid John J. Cohen
& Sons a proper commission. In due
course of time J. J. Cohen & Sons failed,
and $48,000 of the city money went up
“where the woodbine twineth” —“gone
up the spout.” He had no reproach
for John J. Cohen & Sons, only
a word of sympathy for them in their
misfortunes. He was only dealing
with His Honor the Mayor of Augusta,
and why did the city lose those bonds?
The ordinance relative to the Treasurer
states he must keep his bonds and
money in some bank. John J. Cohen
& Sons were not an incorporated bank,
only private bankers, who was it but
Charles Estes the Mayor that placed
the money on deposit with John J.
Cohen & Sons? When the news spread
through the city on that memorable Sa
turday night of the loss of $50,000, it
was reported that the Chairman of the
Finance Committee did not know the
money was on deposit with Johfi J.
Cohen & Sons. Follow the thing out
—not a word of reproach to them
—it was only a smart stroke
of business. | Laughter. ] They en
tered this money to the deposit ac
count of the city—a nice, smart, sharp
transaction. They entered these de
posits to the credit of the city, and
put them in a bank book. The Finan
cial Committee did not get the book.
Possibly CharlesJEstes had tho book,
or possibly he left the book with
John J. Cohen & Sons. Tho speaker
had left his bank book with Mr. Cohen,
and he made no charge against the
Mayor for that. The Collector or Treas
urer never saw that book. It was a
usurpation for the Mayor to keep pub
lic money on deposit on his own au
thority. He referred to the times of the
grand old Whig party, and it reminded
him of a medal representing Gen. Jack
son removing’the deposits of the United
States. He was represented as a little
jackass, and the motto on it was : “I
will tako the responsibility.” Estes
was just such a case as this. [Cheers
and laughter.] He removed the city
deposits by his own dictum. Mr. Estes
never received authority from the
Finance Committee to open an account
with John J. Cohen & Sons. They were
not a bank—a chartered institution—
for their sign read “bankers.” The
Mayor arbitrarily opened an account
with John J. Cohen & Sons, bankers.
If the speaker was elected Mayor of
the city of Augusta, ho would feel it
his duty that his first act would be to
lay the question before the legal
attorney of the city, “Was not Charles
Estes personally responsible for that
$48,000?” [Faint cheers.] This ques
tion must be submitted to the legal
authorities by the Common Council.
The band then played “Dixie.” Cries
for "Walton” were heard, when Wrn.
A. Walton stood up, and said he re
gretted to say that, for the first time
since he was twenty-one years of age,
he was unable to vote. His duties had
been so pressing that ho had failod to
register. Ho paid a tribute to the
character of Dr. Ford.
“Allen” was called for several times,
but there was no response.
The band played “Bonnie Blue Flag.”
“Dutcher” was called for, and one
man sung out “Estes.”
Mr. Dutcher came forward and said
he was thankful to such a large meet
ing for feeling an interest in the cause.
The speaker had shown a disinterested
spirit all through, and was only desir
ous of serving the public and did not
seek office. It had been asserted he
was a man of figures, and he iuvited
attention to a few-dry facts.
• The canal debt (principal) Is $G50,000,
and interest, $910,000; total, $1,500,000
—equal to a mortgage of nine per cent,
on the total assessed valuation of the
city. In addition to this, the other
bonded debt is $1,293,000 principal, and
SOOO,OOO interest; total, $1,893,000.
He cited the example of Dogines,
who looked for" an honest man ; but
the Democracy of Augusta had one,
and intended to look into all of their
affairs.
If ho is ignorant of the city affairs,
is he not a fit leader of a people who
are looking into their affairs? Ho went
into a statement of the canal matters.
You may havo noticed that honest
Jack Jones, who for (20) years, has
been a faithful servant, has been re
moved for making a mistake of S2OO,
000, and hero is an official in a little
city of fifteen thousand people, who
has made a mistake of $1400,000. A
witty citizen had said that he knew
more about canals then the man who
made them. If that is so, he has wil
fully deceived the people. If Charles
Estes is elected to-morrow, it will en
sure a further issue of bonds, and in
creased taxation. Never heard any
one speak of the canal, but he was
filled with amazement. He compared
the Erie Canal with the Augusta
Canal. We have an Erie Canal four
hundred thousand miles )<>ng.
Mayor Estes had taken many North
ern capitalists up the canal to look at
the work, but none of them had ever
invested a cent in it. The only candi
date eligible to the position is the reg
ular Democratic candidate He refer
red to the case of Mr. Hal|, elected in
1827, and who held the office for eight
years. The Legislature passed a cura
tive act, in order to save litigation on
account of the trouble that would
would arise for tho time ne had held
office in violation of law.
He referred to tho cases of Martin
M. Dye and R. H. May who served five
years each and then gave way, con
sidering it illegal to hold office longer.
The whole country was excited over the
question of a third term and it was a
vital question which struck at the lib
erties of the Republic (a few faint cheers
were given). Non-residents who were
taxed on behalf of the city for proper
,ty they owned here would test the
question of the legality of Mr. Estes
holding office should he be re-elected,
and it would cause expensive litigation
in the United States Courts. lu con
clusion he would say in the words of
Daniel Webster “on looking at this
sea of faces” that he was glad to be
here, and he would add, it was a
fine thing to be a Democrat..
After more music, cries for “Stovall”
and “Jones” were made, when Dr.
Jones came forward. He thanked the
meeting, but sorry he was so hoarse
he oould not make a satisfactory
speech. Mayor Estes hr & said certain
dirt was hauled—contracted for at
$12,000, and yet it took $57,000 to
haul that $12,000 worth of dirt.
He did not know who got
the money. He did not get any.
[Voice—“You did not belong to the
ring.”] Ho cited the case of an Irish
pirate who went after gold, and, when
questioned about his share, replied
that it was divided by sifting it through
a ladder, and all that went through
tho ladder fell to the officers, and all
that remained on top of the ladder went
to the privates. He was like Faddy—
his share was what remained on top of
tho ladder. Ho had been accused of
stealing a horse and buggy from Mayor
Estes, but it was not true.
Mr. Dutcher offered a resolution rati
fying the nomination of Dr. Lewis D.
Ford.
Dr. DeS. Ford being called up,
said it might be considered indelicate
by some of the Estes pets that it would
be indelicate for him to speak. Asa
member of the Finance Committee he
knew nothing about the money in tho
hands of John J. Cohen & Sons. Asa
man, he.had nothing against Mr. Estes.
He had always been pitted against Mr.
Estes and always should. Did not believe
Mr. Estes took a single cent. It was the
duty of the people to elect a man of
honesty and refinement, who was above
reproach, and ono to tho manor born.
Mr. Estes had been a good Mayor, but
he had made false statements about the
canal. The Mayor had not acted in a
dignified manner. He was not against
Mr. Estes simply because he had defeat
ed him for Council in tho Third Ward.
Mr. Estes and Robert H. May had
trampled upon tho rights of the people
in defeating the speaker. Tho time
might come when, if this thing con
tinues, the public debt of the city
would have to be repudiated. For per
sonal reasons he would not speak of
the candidate before tho people as the
regular Democratic candidate for
Mayor. In conclusion, he advised the
whipping out of the little man, Estes,
in the same manner as Foster Blodgett
was cleared out.
B. Doris was called out, and said, he
was a candidate for member of Council
in the Fourth Ward, and he wanted
every one in the city, no matter to what
Ward they belonged, to come forward
to-morrow and vote for him. That
is the way the thing has been done
heretofore.
Henry Jones moved to adjourn, but
there were many cries of “No.” The
crow'd in a few minutes left, and thus
the mooting terminated.
A MEMBER OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE
SPEAKS.
Why did Dr. Ford, one o£ tho Finance
Committee, draw Ids balance out of (he
hands of J. J. Cohen & Sons, and not notify
the balance of the committee ?
One of the Finance Committee.
MAYOR ESTES SERENADED.
After tho meeting at the City Hall
last evening, Mayor Estes was sere
naded by a large crow r d at his residence.
His Honor made a short and pointed
speech, denying very emphatically sev
eral statements mado by the spoakers
at the City Hall. His remarks were
received with great enthusiasm, and
the crowd marched off with cheer after
cheer for Estes.
HOW THE BONDS WERE DISPOSED OF.
2’o the Public—l loarn that Dr. DeSaussuro
Ford stated at tho mooting, held at the City
Hall last night, that he was ignorant of or
did not know the terms of the sale of bonds
made by Messrs. John J. Cohen & Sons in
March last, representing that I only knew
the terms, etc. Road the copy of his letter
sent to me by the hands of Mr. John J.
Cohen, Sr., at the time tho trade was made.
It speaks for itself. He not only had the
transaction fully explained to him by Mr.
Cohen, but by myself on different occasions
since that time. No member of the com
mittee, so far asl know or believe, over had
the slightest doubts as to the responsibility
of Messrs. Cohen &, Hons until their failure.
The loss occasioned by this transaction
was one of those accidents that are com mon
to all, in a series of business transactions,
running through a number of years, during
which, in tho naturul courso ot ovents,
Hush times, dull times, and panics and
failures, are certain to occur. I also learn
that Dr. L. D.Ford stated that he knew that
Dr. I. P. Garvin did not have the Pass, or
Bank Book; that either the Mayor*%ad it,
or Messrs. Cohen & Cos. had it at their
Banking House. |lf tho Doctor (Senior), will
call oil Dr. Garvin, he will learn that he has
made in this statement, upon which he lays
so much stress, to say the very least, a very
great mistake. The book was never In my
possession but once, at which time I got It
from Dr. Garvin to show the City Attorney,
but solely In that of the Collector and
Treasurer, Dr. I. P. Garvin.
Respectfully, Ohas. Estes.
DR. FORD’S LETTER.
The envelope is addressed to Hon.
Charles Estes, Augusta, and on the

any action you and the-Committee will de

Young Merriwetlier’s Condition.
From a gentleman who came from
Edgefield, South Carolina, yesterday,
we learn that although Mackie Merri
wether is badly cut, he will no doubt
recover. One linifo wound is a cut of
two inches in the back, and another is
a deep gash across his head. He did
not allow his asassins to escape with
out injury, as he shot one of them in
the leg, and the other in the head, with
a small revolver. The negroes have
not been arrested.

American Genius-Moody and Sankey.
—The great revivalists, Messrs. Moody and
Sankey, who electrified staid old England
with their eloquence and enthusiasm, are
fair samples of American genius. Spring
ing from among the common people, their
sympathies are alive to the wants of the
whole, people, and herein lies the secret of
their great success. Those who sack to be
popular must study and be familiar with
the wants of the masses, and prove loyal
thereto. To this fact we may trace the
grand success in business, as well as in re
ligious undertakings, which many Ameri
cans have achieved. Strikingly illustra
tive of these suggestions is that great es
tablishment. located at Rulfolo, N. Y., and
known as the “ World’s Dispensary a
most appropriate name indeed, for that
vast institution, within whose walls are
manufactured remedies which are in de
mand in every quarter of the globe, and at
which a corps of distinguished physicians
and surgeons, under the personal di
rection of Dr. Pierce, are constantly
administering to tho needs of thous
ands €>f sufferers everywhere, and whose
success in the treatment of all forms
of chronic ailments has become so well
known that there is scarcely a hamlet in
the land in which his name is not familiar.
Its proprietor, says the Herald and Torch
light, of Detroit, “is a man of the people,
writes for them, and to them tenders his
eminent professional services.” His ad
vertisements are earnest exhortations.—
Like the great revivalists, his enthusiasm
is multiplied by the unparalleled success of
his enterprise, as well as by the efficacy of
his remedies in curing disoaso. The people
believe in him and his remedies, because, as
the New York Tribune says,- “ he sympa
thises with them in all their afflictions, ef
forts and attainments.” Hence, Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery is to-day more
largely employed as a blood and liver med
icine, and also'as a cough remedy, than any
other remedial agent in tho world. His
Favorite Prescription, he does not recom
mend as a “cure-all,” as is so often done
by compound rs of worthless, humbug
nostrums, but for all diseases and weak
nesses peculiar to women it lias proved it
self so much of a specific that it now en
joys great popularity and universal confi
dence. Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Purgative
Pellets, “scarcely larger than mustard
seed,” have proved so agreeable and re
liable as a cathartic that they are rapidly
taking tho place of the largo, nauseous
pills heretofore so much in use; while his
Compound Extract of Smart-Weed is afa
vorite remedy for Colic, Cramps, Summer
Complaint, Diarrhoea, Dysentery, Cholera
and Cholera Morbus, and also as a liniment.
Of Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy, and Dr.
Pierce’s Nasal Douche, little need be said,
as they are known everywhere as the
greatest Specifics for Catarrh arc I “cold in
the head” ever given to the public. And
besides this largo measure of success, Dr.
Pierce seems ilkelv to achieve as great re
nown as an author as he has as a physi
cian. His Common Sense Medical Ad
viser, a book of about GOO pages, which he
sells at the un; arailed low price of $1.50,
has already been sold to the extent of ex
hausting two editions amounting to forty
thousand copies. Tho secret of Dr.
Pierce’s success, as well as that of tho
great revivalists, and scores of other Amor-
Feans, wiio by their genius have advanced
step by step from obscurity to affluence
and distinction, consists in treating the
peoDlo with consideration, sympathy, can
dor and honesty. No man, who hopes to
attain either wealth or distinction, can
afford to deal unfairly with the world or be
indifferent to tho wants and best inter
ests of humanity. nov3o-tuthsa&c
