<iljc Constituticmnlbi FOR THE CAMPAIGN OF 1876. The Augusta Constitutionalist. The Proprietors would announce that the Augusta Constitntional ist will take a leading part in the coming Presidential and Gubernatorial Campaigns ol 1876. Next year an election will be held for President and Vice-President of the United States. In Georgia a Governor and other State officers, members of Congress and members of the Legislature are to be chosen. It is already known that the Presidential contest will be the most exciting, and cer tainly the most important which has oc curred since 1860. Upon a truthful press the people must almost wholly rely for accurate information, in order to act intel ligently and In concert. To our immediate section, it is of the first importance that its voice should be heard by .the country at large, its necessities known and the legisla tion it needs in Congress, and the future policy of the Government, ttirough its Executive, made perfectly clear. The CossTSTViToxAiiisT has a strong corps of editors and correspondents em ployed, and will devote a large amount of its space to the Presidential and the State campaign. Put it will not be altogether political—it will then, as now, publish each morning in its Daily, every other day in its Tri weekly, and its Weekly, the very latest news received up to three o’clock on the morning of publication. This will include telegraphic dispatches from all portions of the United States, dispatches by cable from the Old World, the markets at home and from Europe, a daily resume of Geor gia and South Carolina local news, the decisions of the Supreme Court of Georgia, and, lastly, the local news of the city of Augusta.

The Recorder’s Court was crowded yesterday, by a number of residents of the Fourth Ward, mostly “Americans of African descent.” Henry Mann, (col ored), it appeared by the testimony, entered the grocery store of a white man, and calling the proprietor “a liar,” was struck for it, and a fight ensued, in ■which the negro attempted to eat up one of the white man’s thumbs. He was only induced to “cast loose” by the application of a two pound weight vig orously applied to his cranium. He got out a warrant for the white man, who re turned the compliment, and after hear ing the testimony, the Recorder fined the negro 310, and discharged the white man °AU this, because was not elected to the Council from the Fourth Ward. See notice of lost overcoat, at the Ta Party last night. The Lady Washington Tea Party. The ladies in charge of the Lady Washington Tea Party have much reason to congratulate themselves ' upon the great success which attended their efforts last evening. Masonic Hall, was beautifully decorated. The sides of the long room were occupied with thirteen tables, representing the orig inal States of the Confederation, and a most elegant display of eatables were arrayed thereon, and the pleasure of partaking of them was enhanced by the attendance of the ladies who presided over them. There were many ladies and gentle men present, who wore costumes of the Revolutionary period, and the char acterizations of George Washington, General George Washington, General Putnam, Lady Martha Washington, Mrs. General Putnam, John Hancock, etc., were well represented. Some of the young ladies represented States, and among the more noticeable was the State of Virginia, represented by a young lady, a native of that State. The State motto “ Sic Semper Tyran nis,” was emblazoned on a belt which environed her waist. The word “ Vir ginia ” appeared in gilt letters on her liberty cap. She was dressed in crim son silk, and was much admired for her beauty, grace and charming man ners. Oglethorpe Infantry Qompany B, un der command of Capt. Clarke, were out in full force, adding much to the attrac tiveness of the scene. There were also representatives from the Clinch Rifles, Richmond Huzzars and other military organizations. Adoniraim Council, No. 1, R. M. S. M., 27, held an election last night for offi cers, and after transacting their busi ness, they extended a cordial invita tion to the ladies to visit their Council Chamber. It was a funny sight to ob serve the looks of awe and curiosity with which the fair creatures entered the halls of mystery. It is not often they have an opportunity of entering the sa cred portals of the Masonic meeting rooms, and how they did improve the chance to peek around, especially in out of-the-way corners. It was a universal matter of regret that they could not see “the goat,” but we understand he could not be shown last night, on account of a misfortune to one of his legs, caused by attempting to carry overweight. A friend of Mrs. Berlinde Jonze, easting her eye over the elegant furniture, costly carpets and choice appointments of the rooms, and noticing several of the members comfortably smoking their Havanas before a glowing fire, remark ed. “Its no wonder the men stay out so late at night, when here they are so well taken care of.” There’s a moral in the remark, and possibly some lady to whom the book written by the late Mrs. Caudle, is not as great a mystery as Masonary, will take the hint. Make him as comfortable at home as they do at the Masonic gathering, and rest assured the sixteen hours allotted for pleasure and rest will be spent at home. The entertainment this evening, com mencing at eight o’clock, will be equally as attractive in every respect and we predict that another large attendance will reward the noble women who have devoted their time and attention to the good work. There will be for sale a large number of splendid cakes and | other attractions which can be pur | chased at Avery moderate outlay and many of our citizens should take ad vantage of the opportunity thus afford ed to lay in a supply of Christmas fixings. The hot suppers and oysters will also be as tempting as before. Hankering for “Goose With Sage and Inions.” • Just on the verge of the city limits not far from the Augusta factory, lives a gentleman from the “Emerald Isle,” who has been raising some 'geese for Christmas time. The geese strayed away from their owners premises on Sunday morning last and trespassed upon the domain of a Hebrew lady living near by. The owner came after his property, and a dispute arose, in which the warm blooded Celt used lan guage forbidden by the 18th section of the city ordinance. The case came be fore Recorder Sberon yesterday, and both prosecution and defence were represented by eminent counsel. — At the opening of the case, the Re corder loooked somewhat aghast at a formidable document placed before him by the counsel for defence, denying the jurisdiction of the Court. It took the ever-ready Recorder, just two sec onds to overrule the claim of non-ju risdiction, and the case proceeded. The case took an hour to try, as the counsel for defence, who is one who never slights any business entrusted to his care, took full notes of the testi mony of the witnesses. The prisoner who rejoices in the name of Timothy Maroon, was fined $25, from which de cision, his counsel filed a prompt notice of appeal. Meeting of Printers. The regular monthly meeting of Au gusta Typographical Uuion, No. 41, was held in the rooms of the Council Chamber yesterday afternoon; a full attendance being present. Little of interest was transacted, save the re nomination of the present incumbents to office, and the mention of the names of at least five most clever gentlemen to represent the Union at Philadelphia iu July next—the Centennial year. Only one can go ; and the boys are deter mined that he shall represent them, and be equipped like a prince, too. Life Insurance Change. As will be seen by a card in another column, Mr. J. H. Milter has changed his insurance agency from the South ern Life Insurance Company to the Cotton States Insurance Company of Macon. In Mr. Miller, the Cotton States Life Insurance Company has secured the services of a first-class business man, who has no superior in this region, as an indefatigable and suc cessful life insurance agent.

The steamer Vineyard arrived at Port Royal yesterday, with guano for Messrs. Printup Bros. & Pollard. Cotton movements yesterday: Two thousand and forty-nine bales received; twelve hundred and thirty-five bales sold. At a religious revival of the colored people, now in progress in Northwest Georgia, a song was sung, of which these two lines are specimens: "What kind o’ shoes is dem you wear, Dat makes you walk so light and square? A pretty and sensible young lady in Atlanta remarked in the presence of seven bare-faced young men, the other night, “that it just doubles the value of a kiss to have to burrow it from un der a moustache.” The next morning three druggists sold seven bot tles of a preparation to encourage moustaches, in less than half an hour after opening their stores. The best, most influential, and most successful newspapers are those that adhere to the principle that the read ing matter of a first-class journal should be edited and selected in the interest of tho public, and that all matter inserted for pay should appear in the advertising columns under some heading that indicates its nature. Young ladies who are accustomed to read newspapers are always observed to possess winning ways, most amia ble dispositions, invariably make good wives, and always select good hus bands. In answer to the inquiry of many of our juvenile friends who want to have a velocipede tournament, we would say that it will not take place until Spring. Meantime, a regular organization as a club is being arranged for. We make our best bow to the ladies who sent us an elegant supper from the Washington Tea Tarty last night. The oysters, salad, jelly, cake, tongue, etc., were “just splendid.” No wonder George Washington stayed out so late, when such toothsome delicacies abounded. Amusements. A Baltimore paper thus speaks of the Adelaide Phillipps Italian Opera Troupe, which appears here on the 14th inst: There was a brilliant assemblage at the Academy of Music last evening to greet Miss Matilda Phillips as La Cenerentola, (Cinderella) in Roasina’s beautiful opera of that name. It was the first appearance of the gifted young lady in Baltimore, and consequently the interest of the evening was centered in her debut. Knowing and appreciating the glorious talent of hex sister, Adelaide, the audience were pre j pared for something beyond the common, and in simple justice it must be said that 1 their expectations were more than realized. The performance of the fair debutante was grandly successful, teeming with intelli gence from first to last. She possesses a rich round contralto voice of which she has thorough control, a fact which was proven again and again as the opera progressed. The audience, which was enthusiastic from the beginning, was at times wound up to tho highest state of excitement, and to wards the close of the opera the iiouse fairly shook with applause and “bravos.” In all respects Miss Matilda’s Cinderella was a glorious triumph, and one which will dwell long in tho memories of those who were present to hear her. Miss Adelaide and Signorina Lamberdi were finished as the haughty sisters, and the remainder of tho cast was admirable. We are pleased to announce to our citizens, that a great dramatic treat is in store for them on Friday and Satur day, December 17th and 18th, when Hall’s Combination returns, and will present the beautifuf society comedy entitled “Saratoga” and the great New York success “Led Astray.” The press everywhere endorse this Combi nation as superior to any company that has appeared South for many years, and we heartily endorse their opinion. On the occasion of this excellent com pany’s first visit, the Opera House was crowded, and we predict the same re sult on tneir return. Our own experi ence of the merits of this company, is such, that we are sure Augusta will give them a crowded house. -*•■ Robbery. A few days since, a Mr. Stephens, a butcher residing on Marbury street, was robbed of #220 by a negro servant woman, who answers to the name of Sarah Clark. It appears Mr. Stephens had the money in a trunk, which Sarah broke open, stole the money and de camped. Our ever vigilant police were soon on her trail, and discovered Sarah had a lurking place down town, where they found her. She was ar rested yesterday afternoon and locked up. The money had disappeared, but her step-father came over from Ham burg and promised to pay the money back. The Bill Poster’s Emphatic Denial. Augusta, Ga., Dec. 8, 1875. Editors Constitutionalist : Gentlemen — Seeing a card in your paper published by one Earnest Stan ley, Agent of the Holman Opera Troupe, calling me a swindler and extortioner, and saying I would do all I could to injure his troupe, you will, in justice to myself, publish the following card : I challenge him or any one else to prove that I tiied to extort tickets from him or any agent of any other troupe. I simply told him my terms, which is 4 cents a sheet and sixteen tick ets, my regular charge for ail troupes visiting Augusta. As for my terms, I allow no one to make them for me, that is my business not theirs. If they cannot comply with them they cannot have my work. The whole trouble arises from the fact that I would not give him both sides of the post office boards. I told him I could not do it as I had to reserve some for other troupes who are coming to this city. As to injuring his or any company, it is false, as it is to my in terest to have all troupes call again, and when Earnest Stanley published that card he knew he was not telling the truth. Hoping you will give this space in your columns in refutation of the false charge brought against me by Earnest Stanley, I am, very respectfully, your obedi ent servant, John F. Heuisler, Bill Poster of Augusta, Ga. “A pocket burglar alarm is among the recent patents.”— Ex.

THE COURTS. SUPERIOR COURT. December Bth. The jury in the case of the Augusta Mutual Loan Association vs. James McAndrew, brought in a verdict for plaintiff of 31,025. The case of William Gannon vs. P. H. Lynch, an appeal from the County Court, in which a verdict of 3265 for plaintiff had been awarded, was tried and the decision of the County Court was sustained. The case of William Harrall vs. D. R. Wright, executor, and Anna N. Jessup, executrix, of William C. Jessup, was given to the jury between six and seven o’clock p. m. About half an hour after wards, the jury came in to arrange about their suppers, and the Sheriff was about to adjourn the court until this morning, when Judge Tompkins quietly remarked, “Hold on, Mr, Sheriff, the court will simply take a recess.” To-day’s calender is as follows : Thomas D. Dotterer and Mary A. Newby vs. F. W. Pike and Ellen Pike. H. D. D. Twiggs and A. D. Piquet, for plaintiffs, Thomas Gibson and J. C. C. Black, for defendants. Mrs. L. Y. Morrison vs. Ratcliff and Chew. Hook and Webb, for plaintiff; Harper & Bro., and H. D. D. Twiggs, for defendants. F. H. Copeland vs. John Stegler. J. S. &W. T. Davidson, for plaintiff; McLaws and Holt, for defendant. Charles Braid vs. John McCabe. Judge McLaws, for plaintiff; J. S. and W. T. Davidson, for defendant. COUNTY COURT. Kelley Natt, a negro boy, charged by his father with simple larceny, was found guilty and sentenced to the chain gang for twelve months. Excess of Exports and Imports. The Bureau of Statistics at Wash ington furnishes a statement of the imports and exports of merchandise into and from the several ports of the United States for the mouth of Octo ber, which, showing, as it does, an ex cess of exports over imports, must afford great satisfaction to all who are interested in the welfare of the coun try and are desirous of its early return to active prosperity. At all the ports the imports aggregated $36,543,464, and the exports $50,274,508, with foreign produce included in the imports but re-exported, $1,180,- 569—leaving the balance of trade in our favor to tho amount of $14,811,- 613, or about 40 per cent, for the month. Comparing these figures with those of the same month last year, we find that while our exports have increased about $3,000,000, the imports have decreased some $9,000,000. It is gratifying to know that instead of retrograding in this respect we have been progressing still more swiftly during the past month of Noveaiber. A glance at the foreign commerce returns of the port of New York for November shows the imports there to be less than $15,000,- 000, while the exports exceed $22,000,- 000, the former also showing a decrease of $12,000,000 and the latter an increase of $3,000,000 over those of the same month last year. Nov/ York does about sixty-six percent, of the business of the country iu imports, and about forty seven per cent, iu exports.—f Savannah Neivs. OUR SOUTHERN CONGRESSMEN. The Commendable Conservatism They are Displaying. [Washington Special to Chicago Times.] The ex-Confederates are ill pleased with the treatment they received iu the caucus yesterday. Actuated by a sin cere desire to do nothing that would give color to the assumption that they were disposed to dictate, they co operated heartily with their Northern allies in the election. In doing so, how ever, they found that they had al lowed themselves to be overreached, so that they got no offices of any account. They are a little sore over it, but will probably regain their serenity by to-morrow, inas much as they appear more philo sophical to-night. Lamar was strongly blamed by them yesterday, as they charged that he had been a willing in strument to bring the result about . He says, however, that the result was merely accidental; that no deliberation or consideration of geographical lines was had in the caucus; that ;ho crowd acted and voted like any other crowd, and the selection of minor officers was much more a matter of chance thau of predetermination. Of course, if the ex-Confederates had determined to do so they could have easily controlled everything in caucus, but in this, as in all things, they are displaying a com mendable conservatism that puts to shame some of their Northt rn breth ren. “ ’Cause It’s Sunday.”—A lady was entertaining the Bishop of tho State at her house, as he was an old and valued friend of the family, and was always their guest on the oc casion of his visitations to the parish. On Sunday morning alter his arrival the lady’s little son sidled up to him just after breakfast. “Bishop,” said he, “would you like to look at my piggie book?” “Why, yes,” replied the church dig nitary, anxious to please the little fel low. “Weil,” whispered the child, “I’ll show it to you, but you’ll have to look at it on the sly, ’cause it’s Sunday.” The idea of the “very reverqnd father in God” aiding and abetting one of his flock in a breach of the Sabbath was so amusing to the good prelate that, of course, he could not keep the joke to himself. — N. Y. Mail. Facts Are Stubborn Things.”—Thou sands of humanbeiugs are yearly borne on Ike swift current of disease down to the grave, just because they do not possess a sufficient knowledge of themselves. A man meets his neighbor, and the first salutation is: “How are you?” or “How is your health?” The reply frequently is: “Oh, I am well, with the exception of cold.” Most persons lightly regard a coid. Reader, do you know that a cold Is one of (.he most dangerous of maladies ? A cold not only clogs up the pores of the entire system, and retards circulation, but it is productive of Catarrh, which is quite apt to load to Con sumption. “Oh,” yoq say, “it is nothing but a cold in mv head.” True: but that cold is really a mild form of Catarrh, and if not arrested iu its course, will become chronic. Catarrh is one of the most disa greeable, offensive affections in the cata logue of diseases. The passage U tho nose is obstructed, the sense of smeh i inpaired, and there is a disagreeable sensation of pressure in the head. In the m at advanc ed stages, theie is a discharge h iving an offensive odor. If the disease be allowed to continue iu its course, thick, haul incrus tations will form in the head, the hones of which sometimes become Softenad and breakaway In pieces. Why will persons continue to suffer from such an annoying, disgusting disease, when they can just as well be cured of it ? Dr. Sage s Catarrh Remedy will cure the worst forms of Ca tarrh; in fact, it is the only sure and safe remedy which has yet been offered to the public. Many harsh, irritating prepara tions may, for a time, relieve the urgency oT the symptoms, but they do not cure the disease. Dr. Sage’s Catrrh |Remedy is soothing and healthy in its effects, and when used with Dr. Fieroe’s Nasil Douche according to directions, does not fail to effect a cure.

Insomnia, with its train of direful consequences, proceeds more frequently from weakness of-the stom ach than from any other cause. Mere sedatives are powerless to cure ner vousness, and soon cease to palliate its symptoms. The true way to strength en the nervous system is to invigorate the digestive and assimilative organs, upon whose unobstructed action its equilibrium is absolutely dependent. Tho daily use of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters will do more to brace and soothe the weakened and irritated nerves, and induce sound, refreshing sleep—na ture’s grand catholicon—than all tho so-called nervines to be found in the pharmacopoeia, or out of it. A wine glassfull of the Bitters should be taken before each meal. dec7-tuthsa&cl Not Surprised. —When we consider the little attention which is paid to the laws of health, by the citizens of this country, we cannot be surprised at the indifference manifested by them iu re lation to the purity of the articles that are used in their daily food. If all arti cles put upon the market were like Dr. Price’s True Flavoring Extracts and Cream Baking Powder, this indiffer ence might answer, their perfect whole someness would insure us against all evil consequences from their use. When you want a Flavoring Extract or a Baking Powder, ask for Dr. Price’s— you will soon be convinced that, for strength and excellence, they have no equal. dec7-tuthsatsu Galen and Hippocrates gained im mortal fame as physicians.
