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. A Mean Corporation. The report of the Western Union Telegraph Company, just out, says that the net profits of the company for six months of this year, were $49,451.48 more than for the same period last year, and simultaneously announces that’ the compensation payable to all offices and employes of the company, in excess of the rate af %>6OO per an num, is to be reduced, on and after the first day of January next, on a sliding scale, from twenty-five to five per cent. A meeting of the employes of that company employed in the city was held in their office yesterday, to protest against the proposed reduction of sala ries A copy of resolutions adopted were sent to the Executive Committee Jn New York.

Drunk and Sober. —It was our inten tion to write a dissertation on the above 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 litical economy of art may be found in advertising—itself a science and an art. The objects to be attained to in an advertisement are: to create inter est, to hold the attention, and to so convince readers of its truth as to in 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 day evening, the burning out of a chimney in the dwelling of Mr. Parrott, corner of Houston and Ellis streets, caused an alarm of fire. The “ Tigers” responded to the call. 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. Put Him Out! The Rev. H. M. Turner, colored, who draws pay as an Inspector in the Cus tom House, aud whose chief employ ment consists in talking for the party, holds his appointment direct from the Treasury Department at Washington. If Mr. Bristow were acquainted with the facts in this case, he would proba bly drop this colored individual from the roll “ pay.”— Savannah News. 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, J. S. Simmons, J. M. Harp, J. H. Low rey, P. McCarthy, Eugene Conner, P. E. Callahan, H. C. Hillis, J. Cartledge, F. Spears, J. S. Watson, W. J. Watson, J. Heindel, L. A. Ramey, James Glover, Obediah Hughes, W. H. Jones, W. A. Bartlett, M. M. Benjamin, J. W. Thur mond, M. P. McLemore, E. T. Miller, J. F. Turpin, W. H. Prescott, R. W. Ma her, E. T. Austin, Marion Robert, H. A. Duncan, A. Bleckley, L. A. Picquet. The case of Reuben Taliaferro, a ne gro charged with murder, will be tried to-day. COUNTY COURT. Sallie Clarke, a negress charged with stealing money from a Mr. Stephens, was sentenced to the chain gang for twelve months. recorder’s court.

The First Baptist Pastorate. Rev. Dr. Wharton announced to his 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.

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 pare, Signor Barberis. 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.

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 the gentleman.

Yes, he had seen gambling going od in most of them. “Well, one, for instance?” “ I have seen men gambling :i the Old 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- , BUSINESS NOTICES.

Pure goods must have a fair valuation, adulterated articles are the only kind that can be sold cheap, and many dealers sell such mixtures in preference to strictly pure articles, as they afford a better profit. decl4-tuthsa&su 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. decl4-tuthsat&c 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.

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.— N. Y. Journal of Commerce. 1 FINANCE AND TRADE.
