“ Saratoga.”
Hall’s Combination appeared last
night for the second time this season,
and put upon the boards the above
play. It is one that is strikingly sen
sational, and while it may give a cor
rect photograph of life at Saratoga, we
cannot say that the play is one that
tends to teach such a moral as the
people in this part of the country admire.
There are many things in the play that
are calculated to bring down the “gods
of the gallery,” but we saw a number of
ladies whom we rather thought slight
ly objected. So much for the play.
The company is undoubtedly a strong
one and all that could be desired. It
is almost impossible in a combination
like this one to make distinctions,
where ail are so proficient, but we
must mention a few of the more pro
minent characters. Miss Gilman, as
“ Efifie Remington,” the belle of the
Union, was charming, and from the
frequent applause with which she
was greeted was evidently a
favorite. “Virginia Vanderpool”, Miss
Agnes Proctor, is evidently an accom
plished actress, and withal, is exceed
ingly handsome and graceful. Miss
Minnie Monk is an old favorite on our
stage, and as “Olivia Alston, the
Widow of the Period,” fully sustained
her former reputation.. Miss Emma
Pierce, as “Lucy Carter, the Bride,”
certainly looked exceedingly charming,
and her acting was received with
shouts of applause. “Mrs. Vander
poui,” Mrs. J, H. Rogers, and “Mrs.
Gaylover,” Miss May Taylor, were
both capital. Mrs. Stoddart, as
“Muffins,” in telling what she knew,
afforded the audience much merriment
and showed she was an actress of some
merit. The “Robert Sackett” of Mr.
James, the man of many loves and
much prospective duelling, was good,
he is a fine actor; while Thomas Whif
fin, as “Jack Benedict,” kept the house
in continued roars of laughter. The
“Papa Vanderpool” of Fred. Chippen
dale, was a complete piece of acting
and could not have been better.
E. B. Homes, as “Wm. Carter;” J. D.
Germon, as “Remington” pere, Geo.
Stoddard, as “Sir Mortimer Mutton
leg;” E. Coleman, as “Cornelius Weth
ertree,” and in fact, all of the other
characters were well and handsomely
sustained, and we only wish we had
space togive them a more extended no
ice. The company will give a matinee
this afternoon, at which will be played,
London Assurance, and we advise
all who want to see a fine play well
rendered, to go. To-night we have
Frou Frou, when there ought be a
crowded house.
Novel Burglar Trap.

THE FATAL DUEL.
Death of Mr. Tilly-His Dying Words,
“I Forgive Him”—Statement from
Mr. Ratcliffe--The Law of Georgia
on Duelling.
It was apparent yesterday morning j
to Dr. DeS. Ford, who was attending
Mr. Tilly, that his condition was some- ;
what alarming, and the wounded man,
as he calmly laid on his bed in a cham
ber opening off the dining room, in the
basement of the dwelling of Mrs. M. E.
Delaigle on the corner of Greene and
Monument streets, was the least moved
of any person present. From the first,
Mr. Tilly was of opinion that he had
received his death wound. His real
condition was not officially declared
we are informed, by the attending sur
geon until last evening. All through
the day, every thing that the promp
tings of the kind hearts of his friends
could suggest, was done to alleviate the
sufferings of the dying man, and in re
ply to a request from Mrs. Delaigle,
that he should take some nourishment
in the shape of beef tea, Mr. Tilly look
ed at her and said, “It’s no use, Mrs.
Delaigle; lam dying.” Several times
during the day Mr. Tilly spoke of his
adversary, Mr. Ratcliffe, and said he
forgave him most freely. Towards the
latter part of the afternoon it was
given out that Mr. Tilly was near
death, although he was conscious, but
suffered considerable pain. A messen
ger was dispatched for the Rev. Dr.
Clarke, the pastor of St. Paul’s Episco
pal Church, who quickly responded to
the call. He reached the dying man’s
bedside about six o’clock, and at once
entered upon the solemn duty of pre
paring the mind of Mr. Tilly for death.
“ The fainting soul stood ready winged for
flight,
And o’er his eyeballs swam the shades of
night.”
After administering the consolations
of religion, Mr. Tilly conversed with the
reverend gentleman on the subject of
religion. He expressed a fervent hope
that God would forgive him, as freely
as he forgave his late antagonist. At
the earnest request of Mr. Tilly the
clergyman recited the Lord’s Prayer,
in company with Mr. Tilly, while all who
were present knelt down by the bed.
It was a most affecting sight, and its
remembrance will no doubt be carried
to # the grave by all who were there
present.
The few moments left to the dying
man were then spent in conveying mes
sages to his relations in Ireland, and
calmly, at 8:10 p. m., his spirit winged
its flight to the God who gave it.
We at the sad approach of death shall
know,
The truth which from these pensive num
bers flow,
That we pursue false joy, and suffer real
woe.
Immediately after the death of Mr.
Tilly, a post mortem was held by Dr.
DeS. Ford, assisted by Dr. W. H.
Doughty, Dr. Robert Eve and Dr. G. A.
Wilcox, and it was found the course of
the ball was on a line with the hips, clear
through the stomach, cutting through
the smaller intestines. The body was
then turned over to the undertaker,
and as it lay on the bed we were struck
with its appearance. He was certainly
one of the finest specimens of physical
manhood we ever saw, and his skin
had the appearance of polished marble.
From General Scott, Mr. J. W. Harris,
Captain Daniel, and others of Mr.
Tilly’s friends, we learned that he
was born June 16,1845, and was, there
fore, thirty years of age. He was born
in Carlow, Ireland, and entered Dublin
University at an early age, and finished
his education in Palis. He came to the
United States about ten years ago, and
in 1869 was induced to come here by
Maj. Branch, of the firm of Branch, Scott
& Co‘, in whose employ he continued
until 1873, when he entered upon busi
ness on his own account. He was al
ways noted as a business man of ener
gy and correctness. It is said he has
an uncle who is a clergyman of the
Established Church, in Ireland. His
mother and father have been dead for
some years. A sister is said to be
married to an English nobleman.
The funeral will take place on Sun
day at three o’clock p. m., from St.
Paul’s Church.
What Mr. Ratcliffe Says.
Yesterday morning we had an inter
view with Mr. Ratcliffe in the law office
of a friend of his. He was extremely
pale and trembled, and spoke of the
matter with great regret. He said he
could not help himself in the matter,
but was compelled to fight. In reply
to a request for a statement to be pub
lished, he said he would send some
thing to the Constitutionalist office.
At a late hour last night the following
statement wa3 furnished us by a friend
of his :
Mr. Ratcliffe’s position in the unfor
tunate affair that has recently occurred
is this : In the first place, the rumors
repeated by him were common rumors
that had run through a series of years,
and therefore to give any authority for
them, in reply td Mr. Tilly’s demand,
was an impossibility. His note in reply
(contains the above explanation,) to
this demand was so worded, respect
fully, and his reasons for not comply
ing given. Mr. R. and his friends were
surprised that this reply, contain
ing at least, a measure of ex
planation, should meet with the
construction it did of “ adding
insult to injury,” and that it should
have elicited alone the response of a
peremptory challenge for satisfaction,
and can only be accounted for by him,
by the information that Mr. T. was
advised to the course, on the ground
that a fight (“blood or exile”) was
necessary on his part to vindicate him
self against this rumor. Mr. R, there
fore, being as it were the most eligible
party, was selected. What other re
ply could Mr. R. make? What was left
him to make to Mr. T.’s unfortunate
note, coupling, as it did, the demand
with a threat? Was not the reply
pacific and charitable under the cir
cumstances? Did it merit the perempto
ry challenge from Mr. T? In his second
note, accepting the challenge, he nega
tives, as far as possible, that he had
placed any wrong upon Mr. TANARUS., by
the words: “For the affront you seem
to think has been placed upon you.”
So that it is clearly shown that Mr.
Ratcliffe was the victim and the party
selected by Mr. T. to fight, andjthus
vindicate his good name. So that Mr.
Ratcliffe claims that his position was
one that could not be avoided, and his
own conscience and his friends acquit
him of any responsibility iu the matter.

the city from Columbia, S. C., last eve -
ning, having been summoned to return
by a telegram from Mrs. Pendleton,
giving him the information that his
daughter’s sickness had developed into
a serious case of scarlet fever. We had
a few moments’ conversation with the
distinguished statesman last evening,
and learned from him that he was
given a most cordial reception in South
Carolina. On visiting the Legislature,
it was officially announced to both
branches of that body, and a commit
tee was appointed to wait on Mr. Pen
dleton, and offer him tho official
courtesies of tho privileges of
the floor. A short recess was
taken, and many of the members
were presented to Mr. Pendleton. He
is somewhat reticent as to his opinion
of the “black and tan” officials whom
he saw there. It is not unlikely Mr.
Pendleton will remain here about two
weeks. He intended to have visited
Charleston, had he not been summoned
to return from Columbia. No doubt
the Democrats of Charleston will much
regret that they will not have the op
portunity of listening to the eloquence
of the Ohio statesman.
Broad Street Note. .
The Fredericksburg-Dry Goods Store,
now one of the institutions of Augusta,
was, we are informed by tho proprie
tors—Messrs. Y. Richards ;<& Bro.—
named after the old town of fiiat name,
on the Rapahannock river, m Virginia,
where they commenced business for
themselves in the year 1850, and which
they continued with great success up
to the time the war broke out. Du
ring 1861 they turned their effects into
money as fast as they could, and in
vested it in cotton in this section, pur
chasing the most of it on the plantation
from the planters, with an understand
ing that they were to hold if until call
ed for. This many of then* did until
after the war closed, at which time it
was sold for a handsome profit ; and
this was the means of giving them an
other start, as all their property in
Fredericksburg, at the time it
was captured, or invaded, in De
cember, 1862, was destroyed or car
ried off. When the war ended they
decided to make Augusta their home
and future place of business, and, pur
chasing the lot No. 301 Broad street,
on the corner by the Planters’ Hotel,
they, on the sth day of July, 1866,
broke ground for a brick building one
hundred and twenty feet long by thirty
feet wide, and three stories high. On
the first day of October following, less
than three months, they were in it with
a large stock of goods, and though it
was freely predicted they could not do
much business so high up town, it was
a success from the start, and whilst
they thought at first tho coorns they
occupied were ample for any business
they would be able to do, it increased
so rapidly, and to accommodate it, in a
few years they were compelled to make
a large addition to their building four
stoiies high, the upper floors of which
they now use as wholesale rooms, and
for duplicato goods for their retail de
partments. They inform us that their
retail sales alone for the last four
years have reached near a quarter
of a million of dollars per annum.
They keep a force constantly employed,
including the members of the firm, of
about twenty persons. A . few years
ago they added anew feature to their
business, by offering to send samples
of any goods that could be sampled, to
persons living at a distance, and to do
so properly organized a regular sample
department, from which they sent sam
ples to all persons applying for them,
and to encourage orders agreed to pay
the freight on all packages of goods
ordered from their Retail Department,
provided the order amounted to ten
dollars or over, the cash to accompany
the order or the amount to be collected
on delivery of the goods. To gain the
confidence of the people, they had to
work hard and attend closely to their
orders, but they iuform us the plan
has proved a great succes and they
are now daily iu receipt of or
ders from persons living all
over the South. To give some
idea of this portion of their business,
they iuform U3 that in the last twelve
months they have paid the Express
Company alone near $2,000 for freight
on packages sent out iu this way.—
They do not pay freight on goods when
purchased in person, as goods so pur
chased takes the time of a salesman,
which time costs them more than the
freight they would have to pay on
goods when ordered and to : be put up
by those who attend to this portion of
the business. They also inform us that
they consider as one of the secrets of
their success, their adhestou to the
cash system, both in buying and sell
ing, as by paying cash they can always
get goods at the bottom prices, and by
selling for cash can give their custom
ers the utmost value to which their
ready money entitles them, and this
makes them customers.
Their holiday stock is very complete
and includes a large assortment of toys
and fancy goods.

Dr. Pierce.— “ Success is never achieved
without merit. A man may make a poor ar
ticle and sell it once, and there being forty
million people .in the United States, the
sale to each one would be enough to make
a decent fortune. But an artici that ho ds
the field year after year, and the sales of
which increase regularly and rapidly, must
have absolute merit.

every day, and that they are fairly and

This grand result has been accomplished
by two agencies-good, reliab'e articles—
which, once introduced, work easily then

Nervous Debility. —Yital weakness
or depression : A weak exhausted feel
ing, no energy or courage; the result of
mental over-work, iudescretions or ex
cesses, or some drain upon the system,
is always cured by Humphreys’ Homeo
pathic Specific No. 28. It tones up
and invigorates the system, dispels the
gloom and despondency, imparts
strength and energy—stops the drain
and rejuvenates the entire man. Been
used twenty years with perfect success
by thousands. Sold by dealers. Price,
$1 per single vial, or $5 per package of
five vials and $2 vial of powder. Sent
by mail on receipt of price. Address,

The Cheapest. —Reliable articles like
Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder and
True Flavoring Extracts, Yanilla,
Lemon, Orange, Ginger, etc., that have
stood the test of the best judges in the
country, at a fair price, are the cheap
est iu the long runl if health is to be
considered. Pure goods must have a
fair valuation, adulterated articles are
the ouly kind that can be sold cheap,
and many dealers sell such mixtures in
preference to strictly pure articles, as
they afford a better profit.

A Widely Applicable Remedy.—
Few remedies are applicable to such a
wide range of disorders as Hostetter’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 oi the
blood, nervous weakness or over-ex
citement, or an imperfect performance
of the physical functions.

FINANCE AND TRADE.
WEEKLY REVIEW OF THE AU
GUSTA MARKETS.
Constitutionalist Office, 1
6 o’clock P. M., December ITth, 1875. f
Remarks.
Trade has been remarkably good nearly
all the week, especially the wagon trade.
It has been a “small” trade, which has in
the aggregate proved to be quite large.
Collections have been good, and merchants
generally speak hopefully of the situation.
In cotton manufactured goods, there is a'
better demand for the cheaper goods.
Flour is a little more stiff, with a firm de
mand for the finer grades.
In cotton, the market has been ac
tive. An advance of %c. has taken place.
Although the receipts are quite
they consist again, to a considerable ex
tent, of low grades, whilst the demand is
running particularly on the higher grades.
Both low middling and New York middling
have shown a good deal of firmness during
the past week, and the general impression
is, that the advance established will be sus
tained.
Financial.
Exchange, was bought from individual
drawers at % discount. Banks sold in
sums from $5,000 to SIO,OOO, 2-10 to % dis
count. Currency was in reasonable supply,
but embarrassed by the large sized bills of
the denomination of SSOO and SI,OOO.
