Fire.
Shortly before ten o’clock yesterday
morning, “Big Steve” rang out an
alarm for the Fifth District, caused by
the discovery of flames breaking out
on the roof of a two story dwelling, on
the corner of Jackson street and Met
calfe’s alley. The firemen, with their
usual promptness, responded to the
call, and the flames were extinguished,
but not before a large portion of the
roor was burned through. The build
ing was occupied by C. B. Bay and H.
P. Tarrant, and their furniture was
nearly all removed without damage
from fire or water. The fire was caused
by a spark from the chimney, falling
on the roof. The building, which is
owned by Mrs. Benjamin Conley, was
Injured to the extent of possibly SSOO ;
insured in the Georgia Home Insur
ance Company. Mr. Tarrant was in
sured for SI,OOO in the Commercial

On the way to the fire, Jones Gardi
ner, a member of Pioneer Hook and
Ladder Company, No. 1, while proceed
ing with his company, slipped on the
corner of Jackson and Ellis streets,
and came near being run over.
There was some complaint that the
bell ringer did not sound the alarm
more promptly, but he was not to
blame, as his view was obstructed by
Borne large trees surrounding the house
where the fire occurred.

Amusements.
A rather small though very select
audience greeted Miss Adelaide Phil
iipps’ Italian Opera Company last
night to witness Donizetti’s “La
Favorita.”
Miss Phillipps has always been a
great favorite in Augusta, and on
former occasions had crowded houses.
The reason why Girardey’s Opera
House, last night, was not as well
filled as it might have been can, how
ever, be explained, as the Company,
at the last hour, made a change in the
original programme, substituting “La
Favorita” for Verdi’s opera, “II Tro
vatore.” The change was decidedly an
unlucky one, though the opera was
well rendered. Miss Phillipps is sup
ported by an excellent company.
Signor Tagliapietra is by far the best
barritoue it has been our pleasure to
hear for many a day, and Mr. Tom
Karl a splendid teuor.
Miss Adelaide Phillipps establishes
herself more favorably in the opinion
of her audience the longer she stays.
Her contralto voice is pleasant and
charming, and she certainly is second to
no operatic singer now on the Ameri
can stage. Her “Leonora” was a fine
piece of acting, and a tribute to her
talents as an actress, in connection with
her reputation as a singer, is not unde
served.
Especially in the closing scene,
whenj the lovers become reconciled,
Mr. Karl’s Fernando is admirable.
His handsome face and sweet voice
will not soon be forgotten.
The chorus, under direction of Sig
nor Tomasi, was about 'as good as
could have been accepted for a travel
ling company.
The company leave for Atlanta this
morning, and will, without doubt, be
well received. We hope they will visit
Augusta again at no distant day.
To-night, the Holman English Opera
Troupe present Girofle-Girofla at the
Opera House.
The Chicago Inter- Ocean says of Miss
Sallie Holman :
We have seen the great Tostee a number
of times as La Grande Duchess; we have
also seen Mrs. Oates in the same role, and
whilst it would be fulsome flattery to say
that Miss Sallie Holman is in all respects
equal to Tostee, we really think her de
cidedly superior to Mrs. Oates, and
throughout the opera, but particularly in
the courting scene with Fritz, she was very
charming. In regard to Miss Sallie’s sing
ing, Mrs. Oates may probably have a slight
advantage in the lower register; but in the
upper register, Miss Holman far excels her
rival, and the sweetnesa and flexibility of
her voice is equalled by its power.
New Books.
No one will fail to recall the extra
ordinary sales which year after year
attended the issue of Dicken’s annual
Christmas Stories, which were received
with special interest because they al
ways embodied so admirably the spirit
of the season. The announcement of a
little Christmas book by Mrs. H. B.
Stowe will be received with a hearty
welcome, for, of all the writers of fiction
in this country, not one can compare
with her in popularity. “Betty’s Bright
Idea” is one of Mrs. Stowe’s most de
lightful tales—a genuine Christmas
carol in itself; and the book contains
also two others of her characteristic
stories—“ Deacon Pitkin’s Farm,” and
“The First Christmas of New England.”
This little book is sold in pretty illu
minated paper covers at 30 cents, or in
cloth at 75 cents, and can be obtained
at Pendleton’s "Live Book Store.”
THE COURTS.
SUPERIOR COURT.
December 14th.
The case of Reuben Talliferro a hard
looking negro, charged with murdering
Jim Thomas another negro, was tried
yesterday before one of the most in
telligent jurors that has been empan
nelled this term.
The evidence adduced went to show
that the murdered man called at the
house of the prisoner and charged him
with telling stories about him. A scuf
fle took place, In which Jim Thomas
struck Talliaferro in the face, when the
latter drew a pistol and shot his ad
versary, inflicting wounds from which
he died. The two men were formerly
slaves on the Winn plantation in Wilkes
county, and it was brought out in evi
dence that Thomas, who was the eldest,
had often beat the prisoner, and one
time injured him severely by striking
him on the head with a brick. The
defence put in no evidence and Daven
port Jackson, Esq., the Solicitor Gen.
made a very effective address to the
jury.
S. Warren Mays, Esq., concluded
with an argument of a little more than
an hour in length, in which he analyzed
the evidence fully, and claimed that
his client had only acted in self de
fence. The effort of Mr. Mays was a
fine one, and he was complimented for
it by many members of the bar. Af
ter the charge of the Court, which in
clined strongly to a verdict of volun
tary manslaughter. The Jury retired
and after an absence of three or four
hours, returned with a verdict of vol
untary manslaughter. The verdict was
received about o’clock yesterday
afternoon. The prisoner will be sen
tenced this morning.
The criminal calendar will be called
at 9a. m. to-day. The case of Wm. H.
Bussey for forgery, and Samuel Leckie
for voluntary manslaughter, will be
tried to-day.
recorder’s court.
The following cases were disposed of
yesterday: John Williams (colored), a
suspicious character, was fined $10;
George Alley, for intoxication, was
fined $2.50; Melinda Smith (colored),
for being noisy and drunk, was fiued
$5 ; Henry S. Keen, a young man, was
fined $5 for drunkenness ; Miss Belle
Fisher, a young woman, living on Ellis
street, was fiued $5 for bad language ;
Wm. Janeiro, Wm. Kiely and Con Le
mons were arraigned for drunkenness
and disorderly conduct; Janeiro was
fined sls, Kiely $lO, and the other man
was discharged. Several minor cases
were disposed of by small fines and ad
monitions by the Recorder.
Broad Street Notes.
Among the many varieties of pres
ents for Christinas, none could be more
useful or appropriate than photo
graphs. Yesterday we paid a visit to
the art gallery of Pelot & Coles, No. 194
Broad street. This complete estab
lishment was organized by the present
proprietors not long after the war. The
same place was used for the same busi
ness fifteen years previously.
Every variety of picture taken at the
best establishments in this country is
produced here. Among the 'many ar
tistic efforts arresting the attention of
the visitor, are elegant portraits of Lind
sey Warren, Esq., and the lamented
Linton Stephens; also of prominent
clergymen, members of the press, and of
the learned professions.
In the photographic department pro
per are many new and beautiful styles,
comparing favorably with the first gal
leries of the country. Securing correct
likenesses of children from earliest in
fancy, with easy, natural and becoming
positions, has in this establishment be
come a specialty. Among the collec
tions may be seen accurate views and
scenic representations of the Highland
Park Hotel and the Aiken Hotel, at
Aiken, S. C., with Maj., James Gregg’s
residence at Augusta, and many other
places of note.
Attached to this extensive establish
ment may be found the studio of Mr.
Thomas Wightman. Asa portrait and
fruit painter. Mr. Wightman, the very
Apelles of the South, stands deservedly
high, and dates some of his works of
art, executed in this city, thirty-five
years since.
Lastly, the mountings of pictures in
this establishment are of the finest or
der. Recent importations of frames
from the leading manufacturers of the
East and West strike the beholder as
something at once novel, graceful and
beautiful. These gentlemen unite their
varied talent and best endeavors to
please the many patrons of this de
servedly popular and extensive gallery
of art.
Our Ohio Visitors.
We had the pleasure, last evening, of
a half hour’s chat with Hon. George
H. Pendleton, at the Planters’ Hotel.
He is a gentleman of middle age, dis
posed to be portly, mild-mannered,
with an extremely pleasant style, and
who at once impresses one that he is
a thoroughly polished gentleman. His
record as a public man is clear, in so
far as his friendship towards our peo
ple has been concerned, and as this is
his first visit to our section, he should
receive such a, welcome as is his due
as a statesman, a true Democrat and a
gentleman entitles him to. His
visit is one solely in the inter
eats of a member of his family
—a daughter—whom he is taking to
Florida for the benefit of her health,
and as soon as he decides on a location
for his family for the winter, he will re
turn at once to Cincinnati to resume
the exacting duties of his profession.
Politics form no part of Mr. Pendle
ton’s programme, although, it is no
ticed, some of his Atlanta friends have
enthusiastically put his name forward
as a Presidential candidate.
Mr. Pendleton is accompanied by his
wife, two daughters, Miss Mallyer, (a
friend of his daughters), and a servant.
There also follows in his train an im
mense Pyrenean shepherd dog, one of
the largest ever seen in this country.
The party will remain until Thursday
morning, when they will go South via
Millen and Savannah.

The Centennial Legion.
We [have already indicated the pur
pose of those patriotic military corps,
the Boston Light Infanti’y, presid
ed over by the memorable, Hon.
Josiah Quincy as President and Hon.
R. 0. Winthrop as Vice-President; the
“Old Guard” of New York, led by Major
Geo. W. McLean, President of the New
York Stock Exchange, and represent
ing a Wall street wealth hi its ranks;
and the Washington Light‘lnfantry of
Charleston, headed by Hon. W. D.
Porter, Col. Simonton, Gen. Connor,
Col. Simons, Col. Andrews, Judge
Bryan, Gen. Capers, Rev. A. Toomer
Porter and others, ex-officers of note,
to organize a Legion, to comprise a
single command from each of the “old
thirteen colonies.” Each section is to
enroll a battalion; and the , three bat
talions will be made up as follows;
That from New England under the
direction of the “Boston Light
Infantry,” that | from the middle
States by the “Old Guard,” of New
York, while that from the South wilj
be organized by the Washington Light
Infantry. From an official letter re
ceived here, we” learn, that the organi
zation of the Southern Battalion is
now complete except a representation
from “the old Maryland fine.’' The
following commands have been en
rolled : The Norfolk Light Artillery
Blues, (1828), Virginia ; The Fayette
ville Independent Light Infantry, (1793),
North Carolina; 1 The Washington
Light Infantry, (1807), South Carolina ;
The Clinch Rifles, (1836), Georgia, and
and a response from Maryland may
be soon expected, Each company will
carry the colors of the State it repre
sents, and the whole programme promi
ses to make up a splendid command—
in all, a light battery, a squadron (2 co.’s)
of cavalry and ten companies of infan
try. This is all that we are authorized
to make mention of now, but we think
we may add that if the plans for the
Legion work out as projected, it will
be one of those memorable successes
which will do much, “pro patriae, ” and
go down to posterity in bright remem
brance. The men who fought in 1861-
65, are to meet and shake hands in Phil
adelphia in 1876, upon the broad plat
form of mutual honor and self-respect.
Incendiary Fire in Aiken.
About midnight, on Monday, some
inceadiaries fired a woodshed near a
dwelling, in Aiken, a short distance
from the depot, known as the “Lith
goe House,” occupied by Charles Ed
mondston. The flames communicated
to the dwelling, and it was entirely
consumed. Mr. Edmondston’s family
narrowly escaped with their lives, and
took refuge with some kind neighbors.
A portion of the furniture was saved.
The building, owned by Mrs. A. J.
Williams, was worth about .|r2,000. This
is the fourth fire in Aiken which has
occurred in three weeks, nearly all of
an incendiary character.
Merchant’s Protective Association.
IN. Y. Grocer.J
Several years ago it occurred to us
that it was just as necessary and prac
ticable for a retail merchant who ex
tended credits to protect himself from
bad debts against his customers as it
was for the jobber to protect himself
against the retail merchants; and that
as the jobber had his mercantile agency
to consult as to credits so the retail mer
chant should have his source of infor
mation concerning those to whom
he sold. To accomplish this, it
seemed to us that the best
plan was for the retail merchants of
the towns and cities to form organiza
tions of their own, to which each one
could report the names of all those un
worthy of credit, or who are what are
technically known as “dead beats,”
forming accounts at one store and run
ning them as long as they could and
then transferring their valuable custom
to others without settling up old scores.
The suggestion met with favorable re
ception in several places and resulted
in the formation of a number of asso
ciations. In every instance, as far as
has beeu reported to us, the practical
results from their formation have been
the means of saving thousands of dol
lars to the members, besides frequently
leading to valuable collateral advanta
ges. For as an association found itself
possessed of an organized Influence it
has been able to bring it to hear upon
the settlement of other questions than
that of its own credits,| and we
can clearly see in them the of a
great power for good to the vast inter
nal commerce of the country* Already
the subject of a national convention of
delegates from the associations has
been discussed, and we hopefto see the
proposition carried out at an Nearly day.
Upon all questions involving national
uniformity in weight and measures,
upon trade customs, or national com
mercial legislation their voices will be
come more and more influential. We
will be pleased to give more particular
information as to the form of organi
zation and the method of proceedings
to any who may wish to know, and we
cordially invite all the associations to
place themselves in correspondence
with us. I
Charlotte, Columbia and pugusta
Railroad. *
From the Columbia Register we learn
that the annual report of the Charlotte,
Columbia and Augusta Railroad makes
a very gratifying exhibit of the year’s
business, and promises well for the fu
ture. Id spite of the hard times and
general depression in business, the re
ceipts for the twelve months ending
September 30, 1875, are up to those of
the preceding year, and the net is $25,-
000 more—the net after deduc ting ope
rating expenses, new iron, taxes and all
extraordinary expenses, being $250,-
004.25, against $225,730.90 last year.
The floating debt of the road has been
decreased $56,796.04. The total bond
ed and floating debt Is non inly 111,.
322 23 per mile. New cars have been
built and new iron purchased and laid
down. This exhibit must bo gratifying
to the stock and bondhoi iors. The
total bonded debt is only $7,T35.89 per
mile. Very few railroads in [.he coun
try, North or South, can exhibit so
small a debt. We observe tbfit the in
crease in local business has tjeen nine
teen per cent., a most gratifying result,
as it shows that the country filong the
line of the road is improving. This
road will always have a gOod local
business, as its entire line from Char
lotte to Augusta is doted with growing
towns. f | •

VIRGINIA.
The Contest for the Senatorial Nomi
nation—And Still They Ballot in the
Conservative Caucus—Formal Bal
lot in Joint Assembly.
Richmond, December 14. —The Con
servative caucus to nominate a United
States Senator met at ten o’clock a. m.
and proceeded to ballot. Seven ballots,
thirty-three in all, were taken with no
result. Flournoy has been finally
dropped. Tucker, Smith and Stuart
were dropped twice each and Johnston,
Goode and Letcher once each. The
last ballot, Goode having been dropped
on the previous one, resulted as fol
lows: John W. Daniel, 60; ex-Gov.
Smith, 52, the Goode men merely
voting for Smith or not at all. Ad
journed till after the session of the
General Assembly, at which a formal
ballot will be taken for Senator as re
quired by law. Previous to adjourning,
the caucus adopted a resolution that in
voting for Senator in joint Assembly,
the Conservatives so scatter their votes
as to prevent an election till a nomina
tion is made by the caucus.
At noon a vote was taken in both
Houses for Senator, with no result, the
members scattering their votes so that
the highest number for one person did
not exceed fifteen. Immediately after
the adjournment of the Legislature the
caucus again met. The result of the
thirty-fourth ballot was: Daniel, 69;
Letcher, 59. The latter was finally
dropped. Goode was renominated.
The thirty-fifth ballot was: Daniel,
61; Goode, 63. Daniel was dropped
and Johnston was renominated. Thirty
sixth ballot: Goode, 63; Johnston, 65.
Goode dropped. Judge Christian was
renominated. A recess was taken till
four o’clock.
No Choice Yet—Adjournment of the
Caucus for the Day.
The caucus reassembled. Christian
was withdrawn and Cochrane nomi
nated.
Thirty-seventh ballot —Johnston, six
ty-two; Cochrane, sixty-six; Johnston
was dropped the second time. On the
thirty-seventh ballot no other nomina
tion was made. Cochrane received
sixty-five votes.
Thirty-eighth ballot—Judge W. R.
Staples was renominated, Cochrane,
fifty-nine; Staples, forty. Staples was
finally dropped. A spirited but unsuc
cessful effort was here made to recon
sider the rule under which the caucus
had been acting since yesterday. After
some discussion looking to the adop
tion of anew rule, placing all candi
dates not finally dropped in nomina
tion, and dropping the lowest on each
succeeding ballot until a choice is
made.
The caucus adjourned until ten a. m.
to-morrow, the new rule being with
drawn. Eleven eligible candidates still
remain, to-wit : Goode, Daniel, John
ston, Tucker, Smith, Stuart, Roberts,
Cochrane, Christian. Coghill and Shef
fey. The seven first named are only
entitled to one renomination. The
friends of Goode, Daniel and Johnston,
who are conceded to be the strongest
candidates, are backward in putting
their man up for fear of a combination
which, defeating either one, will throw
him out entirely, hence the adoption
of anew rule similar to the one above
mentioned is probable.

New York Exchange is not plenty, but
enough for demand, fct the following dis
count : 2-10 for banks, and 5-16 to % to
others.
[Financial Chronicle, December 1.0.]
The meeting of Congress, President’s
message, and reports of the Secretary of
the Treasury and Comptroller of the Cur
rency, have been the absorbing topics of
the week. The immediate effect upon our
markets has not been large, but it seems to
be generally conceded that the documents
are, upon the whole, satisfactory—the
more, satisfactory, perhaps, that they do
not propose any radical change of policy.
They are chiefly limited in their sugges
tions to practical details for carrying out
the financial plans heretofore adopted, but
only partially provided for in the laws now
in existence. Even those who favor very
decidedly the policy of a gradual return to
specie payments are generally opposed to
anything like spasmodic or radical move
ments to accomplish that desirable end;
and the conservative tone of Secretary
Bristow on the important questions of re
tiring legal tenders, accumulating specie,
selling new bonds, or increasing taxation,
will do much to assure business men that
they need not be apprehensive that sudden
or violent measures will be adopted under
his administration.
