Masonic.
At a banquet given after the installa
tion of the Grand Master of the Prov
ince of Norfolk, England, a few days
ago, Lord Skelmersdale presiding,
Knatchball Huggeson,.M. *P., who is
a strenuous advocate of Church and
State, remarked that he adhered to
and supported Masonry because he
found in it, however much good it did
for man, that it promoted the glory
and honor of God, and the longer he
lived the more he was satisfied that in
M.'isonry was to be found one of the
best supports of a Christian life.
St. James M. E. Church.
Sunday morning-services at St.
James M. E. Church were conducted
by Rev. Clement C. Cary, who preached
from the text—John iii ch., 3 v.—his
subject being “Regeneration,” and at
night he again preached at Jones
Chapel (Methodist) to a good congrega
tion upon “Fidelity to God.” Mr. Cary
is a native of Augusta, and well knowo
in the city, where he has many friends
who watch with increasing interest
his progress in the ministry. He was
in the past a member of the typo
graphical fraternity, having served his
apprenticeship with Mr. E. H. Pughe,
and afterward worked in this office—
therefore we are glad to hear of his
success in his sacred calling. Mr. Cary
is stationed for the ensueing conference
year at Winterville, Ga., near Athens.

Drunk and Sober. —It was our inten

subject, for the benefit of our readers
this morning, but we find ourselves too
full for utterance. Bring on some cold
turkey and sich ! No more canal in
ours.
There is to be a race at the Fair
Grounds on December 18th, (next Satur
day). It is to be between the pacing
mare, Lucy, harnessed to a wagon, and
Basil Duke, pulling a sulky. The bet
is SI,OOO that Lucy beats Basil Duke
to $750 that she does not. Lucy is
owned by Jack Odom and others
of Columbus ; Basil Duke is owned by
J. W. Crawford and others, of this city.
The race promises to be a very close
and exciting one.
In “walking the planks” yesterday,
in company with our friend, the local of
the Chronicle, one of us was frightened
and the other dare not cross the Rubi
con, till we were religiously told there
was no danger of the plank breaking,
when we two rushed on manfully to the
other side (scared half to death in the
meantime.)
From a close observation up the ca
nal, we say, and say it emphatically,
that Augusta has the best water power
in the Southern country. There cannot
possibly be better sites in any portion
of the South for factory purposes than
our extended canal now affords.
Some people have a prejudice that a
horse shoe brings good luck to the
man who hangs one up on his door,
but we did not think that our friend,
Capt. W. M. D’Antignac, needed any
such magic reminder till we saw one on
his canal office door yesterday.
An important application of the po

advertising—itself a science and an

an advertisement are: to create inter

duce them to risk their trial-dollars on
the result.
On our trip up the canal yesterday,
we saw a flock of some sixty wild*
geese, quietly rusticating above Warien
Springs. Not having a mountain how
itzer in our breeches pocket, and for
fear of violating the glorious eighteenth
section, we concluded to “pass.”
Between five and six o’clock, on Sun

Up the Canal.
In company with his Honor the May
or, and many members of Council, also
a few invited guests, we took a trip up
the canal yesterday, starting from
Capt. W. M. D’Antignac’s office at nine
o’clock. We had not visited the upper
works for nearly a year, and must con
fess that we had no idea of the magni
tude of the work carried on in the
meantime. If every tax payer in the
city would devote a few hours to visit
ing the locks and the new dam, they
would be surprised at the immensity
of the work carried on. There is no
man, no matter how prejudiced he may
be, but would say, on seeing the vast
improvements made in the canal, that
it is money well spent, and that his
Honor Charles Estes is the right man
in the right place for the best and ma
terial interests of the property holders
and tax payers of this city. In the
near future, people will be surprised
that such an immense amount of work
could have been done for comparative
ly so small a cost. Every man should
give his moral support to Charles
Estes, as pre-eminently the man for
the Augusta tax payers’ interest.
The First Importation.
Yesterday, the first direct importa
tion through our newly established
Custom, House was received by the
Port Royal Railroad. It consisted of
three car loads of hardware, consigned
to Messrs. Bones, Brown & Cos.

THE COURTS.
SUPERIOR COURT.
December 13th.
The Superior Court, Judge Gibson
presiding, was occupied all day in
criminal business.
The case of the State vs. Carter
Smith was called, and after consider
able conference and manipulation be
tween the State’s counsel and Mr. |
Boykin Wright, who represented the
defendant, both sides announced ready,
and the jury was regularly empanneled.
The case consumed the entire day, and
was in many respects one of the most
interesting cases that has been before
the court during the term. The offense
charged was “assault with intent to
murder,” and in support of this charge
Solicitor General Jackson proved
that the accused had uttered violent
threats against the prosecutor prior to
the shooting; that in pursuance of
these threats the prisoner did on the
night of October 4th, about ten o’clock
waylay the prosecutor and discharged
a gun loaded with leaden balls which
took effect upon the body of the prose
cutor’s companion. It appearing that
the tragedy occurred upon a dark
night; one of the State’s witnesses
claimed to have identified the prisoner
as the perpetrator of the crime, by the
flash of a gun.
The defense exhibiting no little acu
men and ingenuity in the cross-exami
nation, elicited from the State’s wit
nesses that the assailant himself mis
took the identity of his intended vic
tim and shot at the companion of the
prosecutor instead of at the prosecutor
himself. A most interesting scientific
question was introduced by Mr. Boy
kin Wright and was sustained by the
testimony of Colonel Rains, the dis
tinguished Professor of Natural Scien
ces in the Georgia Medical College,
which was to the effect that it was a
physical impossibility for a person to
be recognized by the flash of gun-pow
der emitted from the muzzle of the
gun.
Altogether, it was a most interest
ing trial and the speeches of all the
counsel were exceedingly fine. Mr.
Leonard Phinizy who was asso
ciated with Mr. Wright, opened
the argument for the defense, and
in a speech of some thirty minutes
proved that he had not only mastered
the case, but understood how to im
press a jury.
Mr. Boykin Wright, who’ occupied
the position of leading counsel, con
cluded the defense in a most finished
and logical argumont of about an
hour’s length.
Solicitor General Jackson had the
closing speech, and while he displayed
much earnestness and eloquence in his
appeal to the jury, they nevertheless
returned in half an hour with a
verdict for the defendant. The over
flowing affection of Carter Smith for
Mr. Wright, who has exhibited so
much interest in his behalf, was very
amusing.
The following gentlemen were sworn
in as jurors for the week : J. Polk, W.
R. Adams, H. C. Lund, P. G. Lesten,
Jas. Gay, C. E. Richards, A. E. Blalock,

congregation on Sunday, that while he
fully appreciated the kind motives
that actuated their action at the Satur
day meeting in declining to accept his
resignation, he felt* compelled to say
that it was impossible for him to com
ply with the request. He should there
fore be necessitated to press his resig
nation.
Sudden Death of Dr. Jair es P. Allen.
About seven o’clock last evening, a
gentleman passing the southwest cor
ner of Greene and Washington streets
observed a man on the edgo of the side
walk on his knees, with his face upon
the bricks, and blood issuing from his
mouth. Other persona coming up
soon, the unfortunate man was moved
to the side of the house on the corner,
where he was placed in a sitting posi
tion, and a message immediately sent
to the Police Office. Two policemen
answered the summons, w hen the man
was carried to the office of the Chief of
Police. There he was recognized as Dr.
James P. Allen, an old and well known
citizen of Augusta. He was unconscious
from the time he was found until death
ensued. It was not discovered that he
was dead until he was carried into the
Police Office, when his relations were
immediately notified of the fact.
Drs. S. C. and Robert; 0. Eve, who
had been in attendance on Dr. Allen,
he having been in bad health for some
time past, stated that hemorrhage was
the cause of his death. He had a
severe hemorrhage last Thursday night
and his physicians did net think that
he would live long. Coroner Kunze,
after consultation, decided that an in
quest was unnecessary in view of the
previous bad health and age of the de
ceased.
Dr. Allen was a brother of Major J.
Y. H. Allen, and about sixty-five years
of age. Some years since he was en
gaged in the drug business in this city.
He had a fine collegiate and medical
education. For some months he was
a devoted member and attendant of the
Episcopal Church. The body was
taken to the residence cf Major Allen,
where the deceased had been living of
late.
Amusements.
The Florences propose to organize a
“Mighty Dollar” Combination,-for a
tour through the South.
Mme. Rentz’s Female Minstrels have
concluded to give the South the go-by
this season. So glad.
O fMiss Adelaide Philiipps, the New
Orleans Picayune, thus speaks:
Of Miss Philiipps’ artistic attainments
there is no question. Her .style, as varied
as it is exquisite and profound, showed that
she has studied in the best schools. r iho
effect of her performance has thoroughly
disabused people of Lho idea that it is not
necessary to come from a particular spot
to* exhibit the qualities of a great artiste.
Genius is in no age or country; it belongs
to them all.
Adelaide Philipps, as an American, has
made Americans proud of the progress of
art in this country. Her voice, a pure con
tralto of unusual compass, has been culti-
to very perfection, and while it pos
sesses all the brilliancy and polish of art,
it yet retains the freshness and purity of
nature. Though vigorous, strong and ma
jestic, it is capable of the most facile exe
cution. Roulades, thrills, profuse orna
mentation are perfectly at her command;
at the same time she never sacrifices to
brilliancy of execution the simplicity com
bined with refinement, so hard to attain,
1 and so charming when attained. Coupled
with all this is associated a musical tem
perament and matured judgment, which
gives her the power of inter preting, as it
were, the innermost thoughts of the com
poser.
The Company has the following tal
ent:
Miss Matilde Phillips, (her debut in
America;) Miss Yioletta Colville, Signo
rida Lamberti, Soprani; Mr. Tom Karl,
Signor Buganini, Tenori; Signor Tag
liapietra, Baritone; Signor Carpi, Basso
Cant ante; Signor Baccelii, Basso; Sig
nor Barberis, Second Tenor; Signor Lo
catelli, Second Bass; Signor A. Tomasi,
Musical Director, assisted by a full
chorus.
Miss Matilda Phillips requests us to
announce that “La Trovatore” will not
be performed by the Intalian Opera
Company to-night, owing to the indis
position of Miss Colville. “La Fa
vorita” will be played instead, with the
cast of characters as follows: Leo
nora, Miss Adelaide Phillips; Juez,
Signorina Lamberti; AlL’onzo, Signor
Tayliapic-tro; Fernando, Mr. Tom
Karl; Baldessare, Signor Liacelli; Jas

Wrecking of the Lizzie Baker.
On Saturday afternoon about three
o’clock, the steamer Lizzie Baker, on
her return trip from ,/acksonville
to Savannah, when midway across
the St. John’s bar, struck some ob
struction, supposed to be an anchor or
snag, on the port side. The concus
sion threw her into eighteen feet of
water, and she sank in three minutes.
The passengers and crew were saved
without difficulty.
Tho Baker was one of the finest and
fastest steamers that has been engaged
in the Florida trade. She had within
the past few weeks been Thoroughly
overhauled and renovated, and repaint
ed inside and out, and was!in splendid
condition. She was built ini Albany, N.
Y., a short time prior to rile war, and
was entered in the trade at Savannah
In 18G5, since which time has been
regularly employed there.> She was
valued at $65,000, and was protected by
a fire insurance policy. I'iie steamer
Katie will take her place for the pres
ent.
Closing the Bill-Posting Controversy.
Augusta, Ga., December 12,1875.
Editor Constitutionalist ; —ln reply
to the card of Earnest Stanley and
a man calling himself A. H. Tyler,
who has written a letter to the pro
prietor of the Holman Opera Troupe,
purporting to be a true statement of
the difficulty that occurred between me
and Earnest Stanley, wherein he says
ray language and manner was not only
overbearing and insolent, but insulting,
I will only say that A. H Tyler and
Earnest Stanley are two of the most
unblushing falsifiers upon the face of
the earth, and neither one of them
knows how to speak the truth or act

was questioned about what he knew of
gambling in the saloons in town. Yes,
he had seen gambling going od in most
of them. “Well, one, for instance?”

York Saloon.” “ What were th > stakes?”
“ They were a horse on one side and
money on the other.” “Well, which
won?” “Judge Westman won the
horse.” Peremptory command from
the Bench: “ There, that will do ; this
examination is reaching into too wide a
range altogether.” i- ,

the only kind that can be sold cheap,

A Widely Applicable Remedy.—
Few remedies are applicable to such a
wide range of disorders as Hosletter’s
Stomach Bitters, and this not because
it has special properties adapted to the
cure of each—such a pretence would
be manifestly absurd—but on account
of its wonderfuly improving effect upon
the general tone of the system, and its
alterative action upon the organs of
nutrition, secretion and discharge.
Besides its well-know properties as a
remedy for intermittent and remittent
fevers, dyspepsia, constipation, tor
pidity of the liver, general debility,
urinary and uterine difficulties, it in
variably proves to be highly servicea
ble in overcoming anaemia, hypochon
dria, rheumatism, insomnia, and many
other disorders and disabilities origi
nating in poverty or impurity of the
blood, nervous weakness or over-ex
citemeut, or an imperfect performance
of the physical functions.

Something Reallt Useful for Hol
liday Presents.— People who seek for
utility as well as beauty, In buying
holiday presents, may find the two
perfectly conjoined in Fairbank’s postal
scales. These are the famous balances
ordered for use in all the post offices,
decorated and highly finished into
positive ornaments for any parlor.
They are very systematically shaped
and delicate in their operation, though
constructed for no end of wear and
tear. This convenient apparatus is
almost as necessary in the house as in
the counting-room. The letter balance
weighs from one-half ounce to eight
ounces, and the postal package scale
from one-half ounce to four pounds.
It was a happy thought to the manu
facturers to bring out these very use
ful and handsome articles as appro
priate gifts for the holiday season.—
