Sl)e Constitutionalist.
FOR THE CAMPAIGN OF 1876.
Tlie Augusta Constitutionalist.
The Proprietors would announce that the
Augusta Constitutionaxist will take a
leading part in the coming Presidential
and Gubernatorial Campaigns of 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, through its
Executive, made perfectly clear.
The Constitutionalist 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.
But 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, lrttly, the local news of the city of
Augusta.

We are indebted to Mrs. Gagnier, of
this city, for copies of two very rare
law books, printed in London during
the years 1684 and 1702. They are
very curious indeed, and would delight
the antiquarian.
The Markham House.
Col. J. E. Owens, the universally
popular hotel man of Atlanta, has
gotten under full headway in his new
hotel, the Markham House. The
building is entirely new, and was built
specially for him, and has every new
and modern convenience. The house
is eligably situated just at the lower end
of the Union Depot, and no more ele
gant hotel can be found in the country.
What Colonel Owens don’t know
about keeping a hotel guests will never
be able to discover ; and no cleverer
gentlemen can be found about any
place of abode than W. D. Wiley and
Ed Callaway, who will be found in the
office ever ready to see, and seeing,
that guests have all proper attention.
Besides, there are Hammond and
O’Guin, who are not behind in atten
tions and courtesies. Everything, fur
niture, silverware, eta, is new and
handsome, and for all this there is no
extra charge. So, for comfort, con
venience and fine living, we say stop
at the Markham House when you go
to Atlanta, and be happy.
MINOR LOCALS.
Cotton movements yesterday: 1,665
bales received, 1,100 bales sold.
There were no sales of stocks at the
Exchange yesterday.
The Magnolia route to Savannah and
Florida is becoming a great favorite,
Mr. Oates will sell tickets for the
Italian Opera at his book store this
morning. Go early to secure a good
seat.
Some of the Broad street storekeep
ers complain that the city dirt carts do
not perform their rounds regularly.
The sun shone brightly yesterday,
but the wind blowing most of the day
caused it to be rather cold, and over
coats were in demand. Large num
bers of ladies were on the streets.
The Young Men’s Library Associa
tion have had placed on their shelves,
“Infelice,” “A Woman in the Case,”
“Miller of Silcott Mill,” and other
fashionable novels.
Parish Williams, a uegro, who was
arrested a week ago on the represen
tations of a Barnwell, S. C., attorney,
charged with burglary and larceny,
was turned loose yesterday afternoon,
as the Barnwell attorney failed to sub
stantiate the charges.
The sporting fraternity have become
exercised over the approaching cock
fight for §2,500. The “Shades” saloon,
in Ellis street, is daily filled with ex
cited betters and owners of game
chickens.
Twenty glasses of whiskey for twenty
five cents is cheap enough, we should
think. A bookkeeper in an Atlanta
store has in his possession a twenty
five cent shinplaster, on the back of
which is the following Inscription:
“Every time this is used for whiskey
mark it.” Under this are twenty marks
—none of them made by the book
keeper.
The greatest trouble we find with the
travellers is that so many are vulgar
and profane. Many of them abound in
smutty stories, smell of poor rum, while
every other word is an oath. We give
this class the go-by and discount the
houses that employ them. Others are
gentlemen and merchants; they come
on business, act in a business-like way,
transact their business, and then go
about their business. Another class
regard the retailer as a know-nothing,
while they are all-wise, know about
everything and all about everybody,
cast slurs on leading and opposition
houses, ask you in a very knowing way
if you know how So-and-so’s paper
sells, and intimate their credit isn’t
what it ought to be, until you want to
kick the learned cusses clean out of
sight.
The Lady Washington Tea Party—
Second Night.
There was another brilliant display
at Masonic Hall last night, the second
of the Lady Washington Tea Party.
The tables were again filled with sub
stantials and tempting delicacies that
were highly relished by all who par
took of them, and there were many
attracted by the bright, pleasing faces
of the ladies, who were the presiding
divinities at the various tables repre
senting the original thirteen States of
the Union.
As on the previous night, a number
of ladies appeared in the fashionable
attire in vogue at the time our fore
mothers lived -a century ago. We also
noticed gentlemen in knee-breeches,
low quartered shoes, etc.
There were many curious as well as
handsome articles exhibited, among
the finest of which was a beautiful
epergne of glass and silver, which was
kindly loaned by Mr. G. H. Miller for
the occasion.
Profs. Wiegaud and Sofge were in
attendance and furnished excellent
music. In the long room a number of
couples became disciples of Terpsi
chore, and “ tripped the light fantas
tic” until a late hour, enjoying them
selves to the utmost and thankfully
blessing the originators and managers
of the Tea Party.
About 11 o’clock the auction sale
commenced, when a number of cakes,
handsome, large and small, were
knocked down to willing bidders at
good prices.
The management of the party has
been splendid throughout, and the
ladies In charge may take unto them
selves much credit. No raffling was
allowed, but fair prices were charged
for everything offered for sale, and a
considerable amount netted for the
object for which the party was given.
We had intended mentioning the
belles of the evening, but, upon at
tempting it, we are compelled to admit
that there were so many we could not
consistently do so without filling con
siderably more space than is at our
disposal this morning.
Personals.
Rev. D. Shaver, of the Bockdale
Register, is in town. He is a gentleman
of refinement, whose presence is always
welcomed by his many friends here.
George R. Bibley, Esq., has become a
convalescent, and we hope to see him
again on ’change in a few days.
Ex-Gov. M. L. Bonham and Judge B.
B. Carpenter, of South Carolina, are at
the Planters’ Hotel.
Judge William Schley was in the city
yesterday. He left for the North in the
evening.
What’s the Matter.
The Columbus Times, in a article
with the caption of “A Miserable
Failure,” thus speaks of a travelling
troupe :
We dislike very much to write up an
entertainment one night as a splendid suc
cess, and the next night as a perfect failure;
but such must be our criticism on Hall’s
Combination Company. The first night the
play of “The Two Orphans” received the
praise of every one; but the second night,
in the play of “Home,” the transaction was
nothing less than a humbug. The best por
tion of the troupe had already been for
warded to Macon, and the poor remnant
was left behind to make railroad fare and
hotel biUs. We like a good drama, but we
despise such contemptible attempts to gull
our people as was practiced last night. Not
satisfied with giving the poorest kind of an
entertainment, they insulted the intelli
gence of the audience by cutting down the
play, and making the intermission between
scenes so long and tedious as to weary the
patience of a Job- Hall has a good troupe,
and can put a good play upon the boards;
but last night he outraged decency by his
miserably poor show. He had a better au
dience than such an abortion deserved.
THE COURTS.
SUPERIOR COURT.

N. Jessup, executrix of Wm. C. Jessup,
which had been out since Wednesday

instructions, after which they again
retired, and, in a few minutes, agreed
upon a verdict for the defendant.
The juries were discharged until
this morning, and the court took a
recess to 9:30 a. m.
The following cases, assigned for
Thursday, will be tried to-day: T. H.
Copeland vs. John Stegler; Charles
Braid vs. James McCabe.

V3. Ccles, Sizer & Cos. M. P. Foster for
plaintiff; J. C. C. Black and John T.
Shewmake, for defendants.
COUNTY COURT.
Four negroes, charged with fighting
with each other, were before Colonel
Snead yesterday, and after an ad
monition from the Court to behave
better ia the future were released.
RECORDER’S COURT.
Herman Ratten, for peddling without
a license, was fined §5.
Louis Calhoun, a negro, captain of a

Rifle Contest on New Year’s Day.
The Richmond Rifle Club has invited
the Richmond Hussars, Washington
Light Artillery, German Schuetzen Club
and the companies of the Volunteer
Battalion to participate with them in
their contests on New Year’s Day.
They have offered several very hand
some prizes for competition—among
them an elegant wine stand, heavily
laden with the best , well suffice to
say it is gotten up handsomely. The
second prize—a very handsome card
receiver—is offered for the second
team piize. There are other individual
prizes offered to the participants in
the teams. There are three very ap
propriate prizes tendered the Club by
friends who do not wish them exhibit
ed. They will be contested for by the
Club. *
It was decided at the meeting last
evening to allow no guns to be used by
the contestants except the regular
Springfield rifle, open sights and three
pound triggers. This arrangement will
facilitate matters for those that have
their rifles already arranged to suit
themselves. It was suggested to ten
der the use of the Springfield rifle to
the German Schuetzen Club, as it was
stated that the members objected to
enter the contest feeling that they had
an advantage over their competitors
in using their own rifles. Captain
Daniels tendered the use of his guns to
them, so that they can practice, and,
it is to be hoped, participate with the
other teams. The teams representing
the companies are requested io appear
in full dress uniform, in conformity
with the rules which govern jthe N. R.
A. target practice.
The different teams will draw for
positions of firing on the 24th inst. Five
men will constitute a team, each man
will fire five shots at each distance of
one hundred and two hundred yards.
Targets same as used by the N. R. A.
There are severalentries already
made for the team contest, and it is
surmised that there will be at least one
hundred entries for the individual prise
open to all. Our boys will certainly
have a grand time, and if we can judge
from the interest taken by the mem
bers, and the support given them by
their friends—the forthcoming New
Year will be a gala day for the Rich
mond Rifle Club. The team repre
senting the Washington Light Artillery
will be tendered the use of guns by
Oglethorpe* Infantry Company A,
through the courtesy of the comman
der. Some of the prizes are on exhibi
tion at the jewelery store of A. Prontaut
store.
Augusta Politics.
‘'PhaQn,” the Augusta correspondent
of the Edgefield (S. C.) Advertiser, thus
refers to our late political excitement:
One party favored Estes, the then Mayor;
the other opposed him with all the bitter
ness of party spirit. This opposition party,
at the eleventh hour, nominated Dr. L. D.
Ford for Mayor. He, an old and honored
physician f the city, accepted the nomina
tion, and on the eve of election day ad-
Bressed a large mass of citizens at the City
[all, by way of a hasty canvass. As he
stood on the rostrum, his iong gray hair
streaming over his shoulders, and his ven
erable countenance beaming with intelli
gence, he seemed a Nestor among the
people; his spech was rich with the ripe
wisdom of many years, and tho vast gath
ering showered upon him a deluge of ap
plause; a*d indeed it then seemed that he
stood a fair chance ®f being elected.
But the efforts of this party to defeat Mr.
Estes were all in vain. For five years Mr.
Estes has energetically served the people,
and the vote shows that ho enters his du
tios for the sixth term still tho favorite of
the majority of the citizens. Now, un
daunted bv this spirit of discontent, he be
gins his new term with an onergy refresh
ed and strengthened by the attempt to
crush him. He and the new Council were
inaugurated on yesterday, and began reg
ular business, affording hopes that the
welfare of the city will be strictly guarded
as long as entrusted to their keeping. The
usual calm which follows a political storm
now reigns throughout the town—unruffled
by any agitation save the murmurings of
the defeated party.
A poor woman in St. Louis went to a
doctor the other day for medicine to
check the appetites of her five children,
she being unable to provide sufficient
food for them.
They have a petrified Mormon in
Utah, and from the number of dents in
the head, evidently made with a poker
and flat-iron, it is judged that he had
at least thirty-three wives,

An Elegant Volume.
We have received, with the compli
ments of Mr. Pope, General Agent of
the Atlantic Coast Line, a splendid vol
ume, from the press of Lippincott &
Cos., entitled Florida: Its Scenery , Cli
mate and History. This book also con
tains an account of Charleston, Savan
nah, Augusta and Aiken ; a chapter
for consumptives, and various papers
on fruit culture. It is a complete hand
book and guide for the tourist, and de
serving of a place in the library of all
persons, whether travellers or not. The
binding and letter-press are superb; the
illustrations numerous and beautiful.
The text is all that could be desired,
emanating as it does from the graceful
pen of Mr. Sidney Lanier, whose gifts
as a poet and prose writer are of na
tional reputation. We cannot too high
ly commend this publication, and it is
to the credit of the Atlantic Coast Line
and its General Agent that the public
have become possessed of such a
treasure.

The Course of Cotton.
[New York Bulletin, December 7.|
A most decidedly dull and uninteresting
condition of affairs has prevailed on this
market. Business from' day to day has
been quite limited, especially in a specula
tive way, and at times the market was al
most at a complete standstill for want of
orders. Neither the “bull” or the “bear”
interest were enabled to present any
“point” calculated to have any decided in
fluence, and matters have simply remained
in abeyance awaiting new developments.
It is thought that, unless some new cases
of a radical character is shown upon which
to put the market up or down, little change
will occur until after the turn of the year,
for not only is this the season a.t which few
care to invest, but the current month is
thought likely to give a clearer indication
of the probable extent of the crop. We find
the “bear” side of the market still very con
fident that nothing will move cotton with
freedom except a material reduction of
prices, while the “bulls,” though claiming
no present indications of a free upward
turn, argue that cotton is cheap at current
figures, that the supply at no point is over
abundant, and that the call for consump
tion, both home and abroad, is on the eve
of a considerable increase.
A somewhat irregular movement has
taken place on “spots” again, without
reaching a very full total, and the average
of cost has been lower. The reduction,
however, was made mostly early in the
week, with the greatest shading on the low
qualities, some of the better grades show
ing their relative strength by a small frac
tional advance, At thisJadjustment, how
ever, there was subsequently a little more
uniformity, and up to the close matters re
mained about steady. Early in the week
the offerings were pretty liberal and rather
urged for sale, which was one of the main
influences to bring about the break
on the general maiket, but latterly hol
ders have shown a little more caution
and were not allowing too much of a sur
plus to appear. Spinners have kept along
on pretty much the old hand-to-mouth
policy, and most of the sales to this outlet
were in irregular lots. From exporters
the demand was without much spirit, and
confined to parcels required to fill freight
room, etc., until within a few days, when
this clairS of operators, though not buying
with freedom, evinced in a quiet way rather
more interest, which was maintained to the
close. Some few transactions have taken
place in parcels to arrive at about ruling
rates. For two or three days the sales of
free on boards at Charleston and Savannah
were pretty full at 12%c., with 15-32 c.
freight; but the supply becoming much re
duced, business fell off and the position be
came nominal. Our stock here is pretty
full and gradually augmenting.
On contracts, business has proven very
light, and, to a large extent, was morely
exchanges between brokers, in order to
keep up a little iife. Indeed, the market
Was at times in an excessively stupid con
dition for want of orders, ana values more
or less nominal. The pressure of spot cot
ton, pretty full receipts and no one anx
ious to cover or invest at the outset, had a
weakening influence and reduces prices
somewhat, but afterward the “bulls” came
to the rescue and checked a serious ae
ciine, while even from day to day a slight
fractional gain was made. The entire vari
ation was, however, so small and void of
exciting features that, as noted above, the
position at times appeared almost nomi
nal. On such little business as has taken
place, operators confined themselves prin
cipally to the near-by maturing engage
ments, until toward the close of the week,
when the late Spring and early Summer
months attracted a little more attention.
Tho “bears” were rather expecting in
creased receipts at New Orleans during the
coming week, consequent up.-.i a reported
rise of some of the tributary rivers.
[Commercial and Financial Chronicle.]
According to a dispatch from Washing
ton this week the Treasury Department
has prepared a circular, to be sent to the
Collectors of Customs at all the large ports
on the Atlantic and Gulf coats, asking for
an expression of views upon the general
subject of a change in the mode of classifi
cation and grading of sugars. The points
suggested to the Department are tho fol
lowing: First—that sugars should be
graded by polarization. Second—that the
Government should adopt the system of
refunding in bond, as is done in England,
Germany anil other countries. Third—
Enumerating seven gradesof sugar, melado
and molasses, each to be assossou differently
“ad valorem” and specific.
Polarization is the chemical process by
means of which the contents of sac harin%
i. e. crystalizable matter in sugar or molas
ses, melado or boiled cane juice is ascer
tained. The standard for molasses for re
fining purposes is for instance assumed to
be 50 per cent. If a lot of molasses polarizes
above the standard, tho purchaser pays a
proportionately higher price, if less, he de
ducts that percentage. To buy a lot of
molasses merely by the color, body or
flavor, was a sort of hap-hazard game. And
yet we followed that plan until the begin
ning of the present sugar season, whon the
polarization standard was adopted by both
the refiner and the merchant. Modern
chemical science has induced this change,
to the satisfaction of tlie producer, the im
porter and the refiner.
Thus gradually polarization is being
everywhere adopted as the only true guide
of saccharine quality in sugar, and the old
Dutch standard, which judged by color
only, is now rapidly being abandoned. No
body has suffered severer losses by the old
standard than the Government. According
to the assertions of revenue officers, strong
and perfectly white sugars have been pur
posely dyed abroad, both cane and beet
root, and by a darker coloring reduced to a
comparatively low standard. After these
spuriously dyed sugars had been got
through the custom houses, a process of
decolorizatlon was resorted to through
steaming, and the importers and manipu
lators pocketed the profit.
The following are the present sugar du
ties : On all sugar not above No. 7 Dutch
standard, 2 3-16 cents; above No. 7 and not
above No. 10, IV % \ above No. 10 and not
above No. 13, 2 13-16; above No. 13 and not
above No. 16, 3 7-16; above No. 16 and not
above No. 20, 4 1-16; all above No. 20 and on
refined, 5; and on melado and tank bottoms,
1% cents per pound.
From this scale it will be readily per
ceived to what extent tho Government has
laid itself open to fraud at the hands of de
signing parties, and it is about time that
energetic measures should be taken for tho
purpose of remedying an evil which only a
scientific search can effectually remove.
The facility of refining in bond is also
desirable, as it will do away with the draw
back, and a matter of mutual discontent or
doubt will thus disappear and the Govern
ment, under all circumstances, derive the
revenue from these articles which Congress
may determine, without favor or par
tiality to any branch of industry connected
therewith.
Such being the case, wo can but applaud
the action of the Department, and trust
that a speedy solution of this important
question may be had in the premises.

INCREDULITY.
HOW potent is this trait of the human
mind. The Bible refers to it and
says: “Were an angel to come down from
heaven, ye would not believe.” It is the
cause of much injury. We are disposed to
doubt the sincerity of our best friends, and
so far is It indulged, that it often leads to
misanthropy.
This is particularly applicable to the vir
tues of many truly valuable remedial
agents, however strong they mav be en
dorsed.
Reader, if you have Dyspepsia, Fever
and Ague, Sick Headache, Torpid Liver,
Bilious Colic, Kidney Disease, Flatulence,
Constipation of the Bowels or General De
bility, and hesitate to use Dr. Tutt’s Liver
Pills, write to him and he vdll furnish you
with hundreds or certificates from the
most reliable men and women iu the coun
try, who have been cured by them, of whom
you can make direct inquiry. It will cost
you but a postage stamp. The proprietor
solicits the investigation of all who need a
truly valuable medicine.
TUTT^t
HOW AWFULLY CULPABLE
MUS r be those afliicted w ith Consump
tion. Bronchitis, Asthma, or any dis
ease of the Lungs, Throat or Chest, who
neglect to use Dr. Tutt’s Expectorant
after reading the following letter, written
by one of the most estimable ladies in the
South:
_ Savannah, Ga., April 28, 1872.
Dr. Tutt :—ln gratitude for the benefit
received by the use of your Expectorant, I
do cheerfully add my testimony to its won
derful power in curing deep-seated coughs.
For several years I suffered dreadfully with
a cough, attended wi:h great difficulty of
breathing, I was induced to try your Ex
pectorant, and it gave almost immediate
relief. I took six bottles, and am sow per
fectly restored. It is about five months
since I began its use, aud I have not had an
attack since. It has been a great blessing
to me; I cannot afford to be without it and
heartily recommend it to all who have lung
or throat disease. Very respectfully,
j . , Mks - A. M. Wellborn.
