Association, Dec. 22.
Personal.

note, has entirely recovered from the
effects of his late severe illness, and is
actively engaged in carrying on the du
ties of his legal profession.
Fight.
A negro who came from Washing
ton, Ga., on Sunday with an excursion
party, was stabbed in the shoulder and
side by a man he quarreled with. He

his escape.
Benefit for the Cavalry Survivors.
The performance tendered by Happy
Cal Wagner and his troupe to-morrow
(Wednesday) evening, for the benefit
of the Veteran Cavalry Survivors As
sociation, promises to be a grand suc
cess. While proving a great advantage
to the Veterans, in affording them in
creased means wherewith to aid their
needy comrades and their families, it
will at the same time increase the
popularity of Cal Wagner and his
minstrels. We are sure he will fully
sustain the reputation he has previous
ly gained in the South, and will give
one of his most entertaining perform
ances. The advertisement of the bene
fit appears in our columns this morn
ing.
Masonic.
At the annual convocation of Webb
Lodge, No. 166, F. and A. M., held last
night, NY. M., John S. Davidson, de
livered a very eloquent address on the
general condition of the Lodge and
Order during the past year, which was
listened to with profound attention by
a large number of brethren. The elec
tion for officers for the ensuing year
was held with the following result:
John S. Davidson, W. M; H. Brandt,
S. W.; J. W. Broom, J. W.; Chas. E.
Coffin, Treasurer; Geo. Adam, Secreta
ry; Chas. H. Strickland, S. D.; Geo. W.
Perkinson. J. D.; E. H. Pughe and J. T.
Denning, Stewards; John B. Pournelle,
Marshal; A. E. Blalock, Tyler.
The officers elected will be publicly
Installed at Masonic Hall on next Mon
day night. The members of Social and
Harmony Lodges, transient brethren
and the public generally are invited to
attend.
There iwill be an address by the Rev.
Z. T. Sweeney, pastor of the Christian
Church, and a sociable. The affair
promises to be a brilliant one, and we
presume our Masonic friends will be
greeted with a large audience.

Chicken Dispute.
Yesterday afternoon, quite a large
crowd gathered at the Fair Grounds to
witness the closing heat in the race be
tween the r. g. Basil Duke and g. m.
Lucy, mile heats, best three in live.
Four heats were run Saturday after
noon, but on account of darkness com
ing on, it w T as decided to postpone the
last heat to Monday afternoon.
A fair start was made, when the mare
went slightly ahead, but was soon over
taken and passed by the Duke. The
latter, however, broke at the half mile,
which gave the mare an opportunity to
get even and pass him, but on the last
turn approaching the home stretch the
horse regained his lost ground and
came in ahead, winning the heat and
race. Time, 2:35

CHICKEN DISPUTES.
Considerable interest was manifested
at the Fair Grounds in the main to be
fought between fowls representing
Georgia and Tennessee. Out of the
twenty-one fights proposed sixteen were
matched, and the first fight took place
yesterday afternoon. The winning side
was Georgia, represented by the Macon
party. This leaves fifteen fights yet to
be decided. It is expected that seven
of tfiese will take place to-day and the
balance to-morrow.
A large amount of money, it is un
derstood, is staked on the result of
these fights.

First Baptist Church.
Rev. D. Shaver supplied the pulpit of
the First Baptist Church on Sunday
morning.
The speaker treated the text—Job iii,
23—as the language of perplexity,
wruug from a man, eminent alike for
his virtues and his afflictions, who knew
not at the time why God pursued him
with stroke on stroke. A similar per
plexity casts its shadow, at seasons,
around all of us, aud the cry of the
text is uttered by all human lips. It
was the purpose of the speaker to sug
gest the proper improvement of the
events of Providence which startle,
perplex and overwhelm us.
He argued that we should remember
their glorious origin. Nothing occurs
on the earth which is not either the
performance, or the appointment, or
the permission of God; and when we
are tempted to utter the cry of the
text, this thought should strike dumb
the murmur on our lips.
He argued also that we should re
member their appeal to our humility.
They are parts of a divine plan which
reaches from everlasting to everlasting,
and ®f which every being and every
event forms a part; a universal plan,
and yet a unit; a plan which was de
vised by infinite intelligence, and can
be comprehended therefore by no
other. This thought should prevent
us from impeaching the plan, or the
Author of the plan, because we cannot
discern the signs and signatures of
divine wisdom and love,in these events,
and should strike dead the discontent
in our hearts.
He argued, further, that we should
remember their final result. In the
last day, the dark passages in the
volume of Providence shall be ex
pounded ; aud every soul of man shall
be seen to have reached just the end
which justice and wisdom and love ap
prove. And the speaker summed up
the lessons of the subject in the words
of the poet:
“With patient mind thy course of duty run;
God nothing does, nor suffers to be done;
But thou wouldst do thyself, couldst thou
but see,
The eud of all events as well as He.”
The Last Correspondence.
The following has been handed us
for publication:
Editor Constitutionalist :—I submit
to you the last correspondence between
Mr. Chew and myself, as proposed by
the board, Messrs. C. W. Doughty and
J. M. Turpin, received at 12 o’clock
night of the 15th inst.
J. W. Harris.
* The following is the note submitted
by the board, to be sent to Mr. Ratcliffe
on the part of Mr. Tilly, and agreed to
by Mr. Harris, the latter’s friend.
“Remarks, detrimental to my character,
coming to my ears as having been repeated
by you, makes it obligatory upon me to
demand your authority.”
“Your note received. The rumors that
you refer to came to my ears in the shape
of a common report, and as such were re
peated by me, so lint the difficulty that
would attend an effort of the kind com
pels me to decline to cite you any special
authority. W. H. Chew,
“For his friend.”

Cartoons. By Mrs. Margaret J. Pres
ton.
Mrs. Preston is one of the sweetest
and most artistic poets in America. We
are glad tbat she has, in the volume be
fore us, collected her verses, each one
of which is a gem. The South has
cause to be proud of this child of song,
and her dainty volume should grace
the library of every cultivated man
and woman. We shall treasure it
among our sanctissima and transmit it
as a sacred trust to our children. We
can not too much cherish and encour
age a woman of the South who displays
so much true genius and such fine cul
tivation.
This exquisite volume is from the
publishing house of Roberts Brothers,
of Boston. We are indebted to Messrs.
W. T. Richards & Brother for a copy.
The Chevalier Casse-Cou. A Novel.
The Chevalier Casse-Cou is an admi
rable specimen of French romantic lit
erature, and is the ablest work of For
tune du Boisgobey, a celebrated Paris
ian literateur. It has been translated
into pure English, with amazing force
and rare eloquence, by Col. Thomas
Pictou. Casse-Cou has a strangely in
volved yet perfectly probable plot, and
the characters are such as may be met
with at any time, in either the salons
or cellars of the wonderful City of the
Seine. The author, though he de
scribes the vicious as well as the good,
never velitates with gilded criminality,
but wages a war to the death with
every species of iniquity.
We are indebted to Mr. A. F. Pendle
ton for a copy of this work.
Currency and Banking. By Bonamy
Price. Published by D. Appleton & Cos.,
New York.
This work is founded upon Prof.
Price’s celebrated Oxford University
lectures. It is one of most masterly
expositions of a great and absorbing
question ever given to the public, and
should he in the hands of all intelli •
gent men. By one of our most practi
cal merchants it is pronounced the
“ best book of the kind he ever read.”
We heartily endorse this commenda
tion.
The publishers, Messrs. Appleton &
Cos., have our thanks for a copy.

As the daughter of Hon. George H.
Pendleton is convalescing, it will afford

The Last Sad Scene.
On Sunday, one of the -largest con
gregations ever gathered within the
walls of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church,
assembled on the occciion of t.he
funeral of Charles Dawsofi Tilly. Rev.
W. H. Clarke, D. D., the factor, officia
ted, and after reading tUe burial ser
vice, delivered the following address:
He said : “Our service fa/ the burial of
the dead is full and c covers en
tirely all points necessary tobe considered,
and there is; seldom oe>-&siiin' to say any
thing in addition to it. But the raelancholv
occasion which brings us togi-'iher here, may
perhaps justify whav lam atput to speak.
The law of the iritate settled the character
of the occurrence itself, and I aeed not dwell
upon that. This law ought always to be
strictly enforced.
The unfitness of the “Code ’ to settle dif
ferences and redress wrongs has been clear
ly set forth iu our city papers within the
last two days, and I pass over that point
also. VY r e are all very pro ierly shocked
that such an event could ha\= ' taken place
in a Christian and a civilized community.
We ought to feel ashamed, d?-pressed, peni
tent, that the condition of society among
our people is such as to rne-ie that event
possible, it argues the prevalence of pes
tilential malaria in the moidl and spiritual
atmosphere, which dem|m<s3 serious
thought and attention, and i’hieh ought to
be removed or remedied, so ;*s to render a
similar occurrence among? us hereafter
wholly impossible. *
1 call your attention, therefore, to two
considerations, which are, I sear, generally
neglected in our practice. *
This life of man, what ijf, it? Whence
comes it? Your life comes from God; be
longs to God. Consider it *as emanating
from Him, or as His gift, ifc still belongs
solely and exclusively to Ifim. It is that
by which we are capable of ; holding com
munion with Him, and of whose use by us
He is justly jealous. You rave no right,
therefore, to take the life of {another, to in
jure it, or lessen its capacity!for action aud
enjoyment by any means whatever; nor
have you any right to exjlose your own
life to harm, or injury, or dthtruction, con
trary to the law of God or iajin.
But someone has injured! wronged you,
lias forfeited his life to you, :by his wllfull
Interference with your life) Be it so; but
this gives you no authority to touch his
life—a thing so sacred to Almighty God, so
exclusively claimed and appropriated by
Him, thatVou cannot have it save at the
risk of offending Him, as Vontonly as if
you should ascend to the fieavon of hea
vens and lay a sacriligious Rand upon His
eternal throne. I
But, you ask, Does not thcLuilty deserve
punishment? Is not the | wrong to be
righted? “Dearly beloved? avenge not
yourselves, but rather gi|e place unto
wrath. Vengeance is mine l l will repay,
saith the Lord.” >
"Vengeance is Mine, saith the Lord.”
Wrongs must be righted, punishment vis
ited upon wrong-doers; but t should ever
be done with strict justice; and the God
“Who is Holy and just, a Arne can mete
out punishment to transgressors with en
tire impartiality. Admit that we have
been evidently injuried, insulted, hurt in
some feature of our life, yhieh we feel
most deeply, and rightly s<<i. But can we
safely, in our wratfi and shojt-sighteduess.
unable for the time calmnsy to view the
matter in all its bearings, ‘undertake to
avenge the injury for our Self? Can we
venture to inflict a vengance|which obliges
us to lay hands upon thatjlife which be
longs to God. If the manjwho wrongly
invades the citadel of anothe| life, commits
sacrilege,the man who interferes with God’s
awful prerogative ot punishifig the guilty,
regardless of consequences,i virtually re
bels against the sovereignty of the King
of Kings, undertake for tbedtime to wrest
from His omnipotent handtthe sceptre of
universal dominion. I
Such an event as we now Consider must
indicate a forgetfulness of i ? ie sanctity of
life, and of the severe jt&lousy with
which Giid reserves to Himself and guards
against invasion, His exclusive preroga
tive of avenging wrongs land settling
differences among the children of men
It becomes us all theiel’ore, and we
should dp it to-day, sarioutmy to inquire
how far our rule of conduct. i; v f what it ought
to be in this connection; hollar we are al
ways careful “to hurt nobo|iy by word or
deed,” and to “do unto ad n tji as WC would
they should do unto us.” It becomes us, aud
by God’s help we can do it it ye will, never
t > put in peril the life or liaf piness of an
other, on account of leal ou supposed in
jury which he may have o)ue us; and,
above ad, never to give another just occa
sion to take offense, or feel injured, by any
thing which we may do or sa*/. And espe
cially does it become all, instead of sitting
in judgment upon what ha|i already oc
curred, trying to form a sett;led opinion as
to the comparative guilt oi- innocence of
parties who have been invoiced in serious
difficulties, rather lo look to-our own i rin
cipie, and cultivate such reverence and love
towards God, and such respect and obe
dience to His authority, as will keep us al
ways at pea-e with Him; ftjr only as we
are at peace with Him can we, hope to make
“peace, good will towards me|i.” So doing,
we shall help to render public opinion what
It ought to be, aad be able, junder God, to
purify aud elevate the sentiments of so
ciety, and render the recurrence of such
an event as has lately amazuc*and humbled
us literally impossible. ?

The singing was fine, the funeral
chant being selected from the Groterex
collection. The solo parts pf the hymn
“Jesus, Savior of my Soul/' were finely
rendered by Miss Lizzie Qardner and
Dr. Goodrich. The hyinn, j 'Nearer, My
God, to Thee,” was also beautifully ren
dered. The services were iYost solemn,
and many were affected to tears. After
the services in the church were over,
the funeral procession was-formed, and
proceeded to the City Cemetery. After
the remains had been deposited in the
grave, and bricked in, a inumber of
young ladies strewed th< spot with
beautiful flo.vers, consisting mainly of
lovely camellias, and onthfj outer euge
of the grave a border of gnjen was laid.
It was a most touching aijd beautiful
incident, and at its conclusion the
crowd dispersed. |

Dr. Pit*roe’s Pleasant' Purgative
Pellets are so compoutido<f from con
centrated principles, extracted from
roots aud herbs, as to cotnl|ine iu each
small granule, scarcely ledger than a
mustard seed, as much cothf,rtic power
as is contained in any larger pills for
sale in drug stores. They ij-re not only
pleasant to take, but their operation is
easy—unattended with any griping
pain. They operate without producing
any constitutional disturbance. Unlike
other cathartics, they do jnot render
the bowels costive after operation, but
on the contrary they establish a per
manently healty action. Being entirely
vegetable, no particular care’is required
while using them. j

Cut This Out —It May Save Your
Life. —There is no person living but
what suffers more or less with Lung
Disease, Coughs, Colds or Consump
tion, yet some would die rather than
pay 75 cents for a bottle of medicine
that would cure them. Dr. A. Bos
ehee’s German Syrup has Jately been
introduced iu this country from Ger
many, and its wondrous cures aston
ishes every one that try it. If you
doubt what we say in print, cut this
out and take it to your druggist—F.
A. Beall and Barrett & Land—and get
a sample bottle for ten cents and try
it, or a regular size for 75 cents.

Our Family Bread. —Truly the most
important adulterations to avoid are
those which are calculated to injure the
“staff of life,” our family bread. We
know that merchants who supply their
customers with pure articles like Dr.
Price’s Cream Baking Powder and his
True Flavoring Extracts, retain better
patrons, have a larger trade, and make
more money, than those who buy and
recommend articles that are poor and
cheap. Besides, its a pleasure to have
articles that never fail to give satisfac
tion, and that can be used with safety.
Aside from its excellence, Dr. Price’s
Cream Baking Powder is one-third
stronger, two cans equal to three of
other kinds. dec2l-thusasu
Each generation sees some great in
vention which is destined to have a
never ending influence over all succeed
ing generations. Our grandfathers
saw the steam engine invented—-our
fathers were the first to see the light
ning chained and made subservient to
man’s use, but it was reserved for the
present generation to witness the
crowning triumph of all ages, and the
most valuable of all discoveries, the
celebrated Home Stomach Bitters,
which wiff always be regarded as man’s
greatest blessing. dec2l-wedfr&c
A Health-Promoting Stimulant.—
Physicians, who certainly ought to be
the best judges of such matters, de
clare that wholesale stimulation is not
only defeirable, but essential in many
instances. When the temporary good
effect of a sound stimulant is confirmed
and rendered permanent, as in the case
of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, by the
action of tonic and alterative princi
ples combined with it, it becomes infi
nitely more efficacious as a renovant
of physical energy and a corrective of
those conditions of the body which
invite disease. The Bitters have re
ceived the emphatic sanction of midical
men who have observed the effect of
that popular stimulative cordial as a
remedy for weakness, nervousness,
dyspepsia, constipation, inactivity of
the liver, malarious fevers, and many
other disorders. Its basis is sound old
rye, the purest liquor known to com
merce, and itself possessing tonic
properties of no mean order.

ENDOWMENT INSURANCE AT LIFE

Low Premiums—Deflnite Con
tracts.
The Cotton States Life Insurance Com
pany, of Macon. Ga., desirous of meeting
the demand of the insuring public for low
rates., and contracts that can be under
stood by all, offers the
Endowment Life-Rate Policy,
With confidence that an examination of the
plan is all that is necessary to oomrnend it
to the favor of all desiring insurance.
This plan secures two objects:
Ist. It provides for those dependent upon
us in the event of death.
2d. It provides for our old age in case
we attain a stipulated age.
The low rate of premiums, and the fact
that the insurance is payable within the
ordinary period of life, makes it
The Most Desirable F rm of
Policy Now Offered
the Public.
The premium is as low as t'e usual life
premium where the insurance is payable
only at death, or the age of ninety, and
the time for payment of the insurance
ranges from the age of 01 to 73 years, or at
death if prior. This period may he short
ened at any time, at the option of the in
sured, by ‘additional payments for that
purpose.
To illustrate the difference between this
plan a> and the usual endowments, the fol
lowing is sufficient:
lu all Mutual Companies the ordinary
premium at age 41, payable at age 68, is
$42.75 per SI,OOO.
The premium on Endowment-Life-Rate
plan at age 41, payable at ago 68, i3 $32.47
per thousand dollars. Showing a saving
of Twenty-five per Cent, to the Policy
Holder.
Reasons for insuring on the
Endowment Life-Rate Plan :
Ist. Iu gives the insurance at the lowest
possible cost.
2 '. It provides for your family in case of
death.
3d. It provides for yourself in old ag *.
4th. There can be no loss. In case pre
miums should be discontinued, paid-up in
surance is given for the amount pail in
premiums.
sth. It is better than a savings bank.
The first premium paid secures a fortune,
and if pa> ments are continued the accu
mulations and amount insured will bo
much more than could be earned by the
most fortunate savings bank.
6th. It secures the amount at a stipulated
age, within the ordinary period of life: and
7th. By this means it is no longer neces
sary to “ die to win.”

HOW’ potent is this trait of the human
mind. The Bible refers to it and
says: “Were an angel to come down front

This is particularly applicable to the vir
tues of many truly valuable remedial
agents, however strong they may be en
dorsed.

and Ague, Sick Headache, Torpid Liver,
Bilious Colic, Kidney Disease, Flatulence,
Constipation of the Bowels or General De

Fills, write to him and he will furnish you
with hundreds of certificates from the
most reliable men and women in 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 ail who need a
truly valuable medicine,
