The Ellenton Prisoners.
In the United States Circuit Court at
Columbia, held on December 6tli, Judges
Bond and Bryan presiding, it was decided
that the charges against the Ellenton pris
oners would have to go before the grand
jury, and could not come up on informa
tion. This puts oft the Ellenton trials till
the next term.
End of the Cold Snap.
Yesterday wound up an entire week of
the coldest seven consecutive days felt
in Augusta since 1842. One week ago last
night it turned intensely ccld and remained
so until during the day, yesterday, when it
-oftened considerably, and though yet
quite chilly, is more tolerable than for any
time in a week past.
Quite a Difference.
The election for Mayor of Atlanta came
off Wednesday, the same day as in Augus
ta. Dr. N. L. Angier, the Democratic
nominee, received only 189. The highest
number ot votes received by any man on
the ticket was by Messrs. Maher and Dallis,
for Councilmen, each receiving 205 votes.
Atlauta claims a population of nearly 40,-
000
Another One.
At 7 o’clock Wednesday evening, Capt.
Ridgely, who about nine miles from
Waynesboro, in Burke county, left his gin
house for the day. In the course of an
hour or two it was fired by an incendiary,
and the house together with ten bales of
cotton, three hundred bushels of seed,
steam engine, gin and other property were
completely destroyed
'
Death of Mr. P. Quinn.
We regret to learn of the death of Mr.
I’at Quinn, who departed this life last
night between 11 and 12 o’clock.
The cause of Mr. Quinn’s death was
that cold settled on his lungs and after a
long illness, it terminated fatally.
For some years past Mr. Quinn has been
engaged in the news and hook business in
this city, and the many friends that he
made while in business here will regret to
hear of his early demise.
Constant Voter.
Last Wednesday Mr. J. J. Cohen, of this
city, voted at the same precinct at which
he deposited his maiden vote forty years
ago, and regularly, at every election since,
he has attended and voted at the same place.
'1 he ballots were then, as now, received at
the engine house in rear of the Planters’
-Hotel, in the Third Ward. Equally as
regular to vote at the same box has been
Mr. N. K. Butler, who was present when
Mr. Cohen gave his first ballot, although
Mr. Butler has been voting nearly sixty
years at the same place.
The Lecture To-Night,
It should be borne in mind that Prof.
William Henry Peck, of Atlanta, will de
liver his celebrated lecture at Masonic Hall
to-night. The Professor has kindly, con
sented to do this at the solicitation of the
Board of Directors of the Library Associa
tion, and wc should very much regret to
see the house not crowded. Indeed, such a
contingency is beyond peradventurc al
ready, as large number of tickets have been
sold, and to-day the committee are satisfied
the demand will till the remaining seats.
We can confidently assure all who attend
that they will not regret it, as Prof. Peck is
one of the most learned and cultivated gen-
Jlemen in the South.

TOUCH LIGHT.
Celebrating the Victory Municipally.
Last night the friends of Hon. John U.
Meyer, the newly elected Mayor celebrated
their victory by bonfires, fire works and a
torch-light procession. The steamar “John
Foster” of Gazelle Fire Company No. 4,
and the hose carriage of Alert Hose Com
pany No. 9, (Mr. Meyer being President of
the first named company) drawn by mem
bers of these companies started from the
Bell Tower about 8 o’clock, going up
Greene street a few blocks, thence to Broad
down which the procession, with a field
band accompanying it, proceeded to Lin
coln street, thence to the residence of Hon.
John U. Meyer, on lower Greene street,
when that gentleman in response to loud
calls appeared upon the portico of his house
to his enthusiastic supporters. In conse
quence of a very bad cold he was compelled
to decline a general and also a siiecial invi
tation to go to the Fair Grounds.
At the conclusion of Mr. Meyer’s re
marks the crowd withdrew, torches still
burning, moved through Houston street to
the Fair Grounds which are located back of
the City Cemeteries and some distance from
the inhabited part of the city.
Upon arriving at tho “head quarters”
speakers mounted the stand on the race
track and addressed a portion of the crowd
on municipal issues—while the other part of
the assembly went into the booths in the
Grand Stand and got something to eat. The
principal pait of the last mentioned party
was colored, who thought the eatables were
better than the s peaks bias. When the
eatables were all gone the meeting ad
journed.
MUNICIPAL.
Inauguration of the Newly Elected
Mayor and Conncilmen —Enthusias-
tic Reception—The Retiring Mayor
and Council.
Y esterday, at 12 o’clock m., was the time
when, according to law, the newly elected
Mayor and members of the Cit3 r Council of
Augusta were to be inaugurated —the Mayor
to hold office three years, and the Council
men one year each.
At the request of Mayor Estes, a special
meeting was held at half-past eleven o’clock
a. m. Present, his Honor Mayor Estes, and
Councilmen Thompson, Sibley, O’Donnell,
Evans, Pournelle, Philip, Young, Bennett
and Hill.
The minutes of the last meeting were
read by the Olerk, and, on motion, con
firmed.
Ilis Honor the Mayor had the following
message read by the Clerk :
Gentlemen of the City Council ;
This being tne last meeting of this Coun
cil, I wisli to lay before you a few matters
that I would like to have entered on the
minutes.
I will first speak of the canal . The total
amount expended on it up to this time is
for engineering, extra and all contract
work and canal damages. $747,862.14. This
is exclusive of the $42,480.95 paid for canal
real estate.
I had booed to havo been able to an
nounce by the first of this month that the
entire work was completed; but the pres
ent contractors have neglected to put on a
force sufficient to complete the dam during
the very favorable weather sicca the mid
dle of iSeptembor; therefore, that part of
the work will have to go over to next sea
son. It should be finished during next
year’s low river. It will not cost over
a> 15,000, and probably not that amount.
I wish to call your attention to the fact
that the culvert just above West Boundary
was not mads new its entire length, but
was extended, leaving that part under the
oid canal just as before enlargement. The
engineer thought it to be safe. But it will
need close watching, for should it break,
the damage would most likely be large,
besides the loss of time to mills and opera
tives while it was being repaired. 1 have
long regretted that the engineer did not
make it all new as he could have done by
turning the water through the widened
part, while the old oulvei t was being re
placed.
Ihe bridge at Rae’s creek, on the Wash
ington road, should be shortened to say
twenty-five feet, at once, and before any
extensive repairs are needed on the present
seventy-five foot bridge. The change can
be made for about what repairs would cost
for a short time when once needed.
Thefcross canal or waste weir from the
second level just west of McKinne street
should be made, thereby Increasing largely
the available power between McKinne and
West Boundary streets, It would also re
lieve the third level from a portion of the
back water at the Marbury street gates,
which now reduce the fall between the sec
ond and third levels to this extent. Tne
rent of the power given by this arrange
ment would, when once leased, pay the en
tire cost in one year, besides saving the ex
pense of maintaining the bridge, which
would not then be made over the second
level on McKinne street. With the dam
completed and these small matters attend
ed to, your canal will then be in a condition
that it should cost no more to maintain
than the old 40 foot canal cost to keep in
repair, for tne reason that it is better con
structed, with less bridges and but one cul
vert. The old one had six culverts poorly
constructed.
- The canal is one of the things that re
quires constant and ever watchful care;
a .ittle neglect, a little carelessness might
be the cause of a break that would cost
thousands to repair, to say nothiug of the
delay and damage to business; to the own
ers and employees of the mills leasing the
water power.
I would caution you against leasing the
lands on the river sideof the canal, between
Harrisburg and Kao’s creek, only on con
dition that the lessee make his fence on the
north of the road and say sixty feet from
the tow path so as to keep that road open
to Dr. Marker’s east line, and in case it is
used for pasturage for the purpose of
keeping cattle off the tow path slope, re
serving the right to sell any part. Tne
lands beyond Dr. Harker’s, from Warren
bpriug to the Lock, I woulu not lease at all,
because the little money you would get for
rent would be comparatively small to the
damage likely to occur from cattle tramp
ling on the canal slopes. The guarantee of
a tenant that he would see no harm come
to the canal would he worth but little after
the damage was done. An ounce of pre
ventative, dealing with such a matter,
would bo worth many pounds of cure.
.. After the work which is now so near com
pleted at the old bulkhead and lock is
finished, there will no longer be a necessity
for a Civil Engineer at a high salary. One
that can run a level and muko correct mea
surements will answer for the work when
needed.
ihere arc several law suits pending
against the city that, to an unprofession
al eye. look as if their main object was to
make fees for attorneys. If properly at
tended to they should, most of them, only
cost the five, but, if neglected, may cost a
good deal more. Auy assistance I can give
In the defense of these suits will be ren
dered. One of those suits is ostensibly in
stituted to compel the city to build a bridge
for a party that could not use it if erected
without going two or three miles out of
liis way and over an almost impassable
road, and one that he would have to keep
In order himself, notwithstanding he has
already a good road via itusscil fc Sim
mons’ mill, that will have to be kept up to
his eastern line at tho expense of the city.
bo soon as the means can bo spared, the
reservoirs of the Augusta Water Works
should be enlarged or rather extended to
West Boundary street; anew pump should
be procured with the capacity to pump
four million gallons in twenty-four hours.
It should be placed on the first level of the
canal, thus avoiding the necessity and ex
tra expense of running the steam pump
every time the Marbury street gates on
the third level have to be closed or when
the water ha s to be shut off to make re
pairs at or below the Augusta Factory.
The pump, which lias been in use for
seventeen years, has to be run constantly
night and day to keep up a supply for
present wants, and will ere long be unable
to furnish the necessary quantity.
But with the reservoirs extended to West
Boundary street, a"d a pump of the ca
pacity named, our citizens would have
comparatively clear water, and abundance
for fires, and also to Hush the drains at all
times. This, with the unavoidable wasto
of water from the numerous openings,
would keep the sewers in a good condition,
and would be very great assurance against
what our citizens so much feared this sea
son-epidemic j ellow fever.
1 have looked into this matter and feel
confident thut the reservoirs can be enlarg
ed to more tnau treble their present capac
ity, the pump and house and lot, with the
requisite water mains furnished complete
for $60,000. Should this be done the pumps
now in use should be put in good order, and
hold in reserve in ease oi accident to the
; new one. With proper management, tile
; rents from increased consumption of water
would more than pay the interest on the
cost. With ttie additional security against
fires, and the benefits to be derived
in a sanitary view, make it quite
important thut the incoming Coun
cil give this matter early attention.
Mr. Evans arose and requested that Mayor
Estes retire from the room, and that Mr.
Philip take the chair. Mr. Estes thereupon
retired and Mr. Philip then presided.
Mr. Thompson offered the following
resolutions which were unanimously
adopted:
Wkebeas, The term of service of Hon.
Chas. Estes as Mayor of Augusta is about
to expire, we, his associates in Council, de
sire to express our sentiments in regard to
Ins official career; therefore, be it
Revolved by the City Council of Augusta,
That in Hon. Chas. Estes the city of Au
gusta has had a faithful and zealous pubiie
servant—one who has discharged the duties
of his office with a high conscientious re
gard for the best interests of the city, and
with a fidelity and zeal which entitle him
to the approval of his fellow-citizens, wiio
have so long honored him with their confi
dence.
Revolved, That we tender to him our sin
cere thanks for the ability and impartiality
with which he has presided over the delib
erations of this body, and extend to him
our beet wislies for his present and future
prosperity and happiness.
Resolved, That this preamble and these
resolutions be entered on the minutes of
Council, and that a copy be furnished to
Mayor Estes.
On motion of Mr. O’Donnell a committee
of four was appointed to wait on Mayor
Estes and conduct him to the Council
Chamber. Messrs. O’Donnell, Thompson,
Young and Hill were appointed.
When Mr. Estes returned with tlie com
mittee, the Clerk read to him the resolu
tions adopted.
Mr. K.-tes, in reply, briefly thanked
Council for the compliment paid him in
the resolutions just read to him.
The Clerk then read the consolidated re
turns of the managers of election and an
llounced the names of tbc newly elected
Mayor and members of Council. . ’
The names of new members from the
First Ward, George R. Sibley, James F.
Thompson and Win. 11. Howard, were
called by the Clerk. Mayor Estes then pro
ceeded to swear them in.
E. O Donnel, J. K. Evans and Wilber
force Daniel, from the Second Ward, were
called and 9Worn.
Alex. Philip, W. B. Young and William
Bennett, from the Third Ward, were called
and sworn.
M. E. Hill, M. A. Stovall and Amos K.
Clark, from the Fourth Ward, were called
and sworn.
THE MAYOR.
Mayor Estes appointed Messrs. Thomp
son, Young, O’Donnell and Stovull a com
mittee to wait upon Mr. Meyer, the newly
elected Mayor and present him for inauf
guratiou. The committee soon returned
when the retiring Mayor, Mr. Estes adt
dressed Mr. Meyer as follows:
Hon. John U. Meyer Mayor Elect:
Dear Sir: It is with pleasure I ad
minister the oath of office to you as my
successor, because 1 believe you will be able
to perform the duties of the office with
greater satisfaction to the citizens than it
has been my lot to do.
In conducting your administration, per
mit me to put you ou your guard in one
matter, beware of the ever ready advice of
friends; they not being responsible for your
acts, raiher let your own good judgment
mark out your course; your enemies, it any
J’ou have, you need not fear.
I very much regret tlmt I could not have
left the finances in a better condition. The
heavy loss by the parties selling the city
bonds last year and the great falling off in
the aggregate amount of taxable property,
has reduced the receipts below expendi
tures.
With the patient fact, that economy has
become a necessity, I do not doubt you
will he able to inaugurate such a system of
economy as will carry througli "your ad
ministration satisfactorily. I will now ad
minister the oath.
The Mayor elect having taken the oath of
office he took the chair vacated by the re
tiring Mayor and called the new Council to
order, after delivering the following ad
dress :
My Friends and Fellow-Citizens:
The compliment you have seen fit to be
stow on me of electing rne the Chief Mag
istrate of the city of Augusta, calls forth
feelings of the deepest gratitude. I have
not yet had time to mark out my line of
policy in all matters connected with our
city affairs. It will be, however, my pleas
ure as well as duty daily to look closely af
ter the interest of all classes of our citizens
and into the various departments of our
city government. My worthy predecessor
has alluded to the financial condition of our
city. With your aid and co-operation, gen
tlemen of the City Council, I trust by close
and economical management in every de
partment we maj r succeed in managing its
finances successfully. I regret that the
short time allowed has prevented my views
beihg given more fully.
On motion of Mr. Sibley the rules of the
last Council were adopted for the guidance
of the present Council.
On motion of Mr. Evans, the Mayor was
authorized to appoint the standing commit
tees of Council at his leisure.
Ou motion, Council then adjourned.
The Council Chamber was crowded with
spectators during the proceedings of Coun
cil; in fact, many persons could hardly
find standing room. When the Mayor
elect, Mr. Meyer, was ushered in the Cham
ber he was greeted witli loud shouts from
the crowd, and afterward by three times
three cheers. Ho was also repeatedly ap
plauded afterward, during the session of
the new Council.
Three cheers w ere given to the retiring
Mayor, Hon. Charles Estes, as he vacated
the Chair for Mr. Meyer. The cheers were
afterward repeated, After the adjourn
ment of Council numerous friends of Mr.
Meyer pressed forward to grasp his hand in
congratulation.
Knock Down.
Avery quie® flair of this character took
place about seven o’clock last evening.
During the passage of the torchlight pro
cession two men were standing on the cor
ner of Broad and Jackson streets. One
“hurrahed” for May and a Meyer man
knocked him.

Gen. John It, Gordon,
We had a pleasant call of a few minutes
last evening from this eminent Georgia
Senator, who was passing through the city
on his way to Columbia. General Gordon
had arranged everything to start for Wash
ington last Monday, but lie received a dis
patch from tho private secre ary of Gov.
Tilden, appealing to him to return to Col
umbia ami remain until the affairs in that
State were in a settled condition. His pres
ence in Columbia at this time will be en
dorsed by eve-v Georgian as being of
greater importance than in his seat in the
Senate. General Gordon is cheerful and
hopeful, and believes in the final triumph
of truth and justice.
The Fifth Avenue Combination.
Another crowded house greeted the Fur
bish Troupe last evening. The play of
Mom. Alphonse is an exceedingly Frencliy
one, rather suggestive of indelicacy at
times, but full of pathos, wit and action.
Where all the performers are such excellent
artists it would be hard to discriminate.
Ryer, Porter and Lefliugwell “held the
mirror up to nature,” and Harry nawk con
vulsed everybody with lnughter. Miss
Irving drew tears from tlie eyes of the
most callous, and pretty Dolly Pike, who
knows how to be so gentle when the char
acter demands it, won laurels in persona
ting the jealous, stormy, but honest-hearted
widow. Little Minnie Maddern was equal
to the best, and displayed histrionic powers
of a phenomenal kind.
In the screaming farce that followed the
drama, Mr. Lefiiiigweil was really wonder
ful m versatility of acting.
We have had no better company on our
boards, and wish the members of it that
unbounded success which they so bounti
fully deserve.

After protesting earnestly against the in
humanity which prompts some newspaper
paragraphed to jest at the ignorance which
brings misery upon unfortunate people,
Bayard Taylor experienced a playful spasm
in which he wrote the following:
•‘One morning Miss Bridget O’Farrel
Splitted up a petroleum barrel;
‘Now,’ said she. ‘l’ll have a foine Are;’
Aud surely she did,
For when they found Bid
She was baked like a brick—
Only dryer.”

AN EXCHANGE FIEND.
The other evening we were lying
In our sanctum, vainly trying
To invent some local items for our valua
b e sheet,
When a "fiend,” who thought us sleeping.
To our desk came softly creeping,
Fleked up some late exchanges and then
started for the street.
Then the air grew denser, thicker.
As our old "Bogardus Kicker"
liaised the grim, audacious stranger
through the wiadow with a srash—
Just lifted him so neatly
That he disappeared completely.
With his shoulder ornamented with a shat
tered window-sash.
And the stranger still is hieing
Through the atmosphere a-ttying,
With a "flag of truce” protruding through
the hole "Bogardus” tore;
Aud the soothing thought comes o’er us
That he never more will bore us—
Never come to steal exchanges from our
sanctum any more.
Religious Intimidation.
At Stonn Branch, S. C., about four miles
from Augusta, on the Barnwell road, there
is a church dedicated to the worship of col
ored Baptists. On Sunday last, several
colored men were hauled over the coals for
voting the Democratic ticket. I'hese in
timidated men—intimidated by their
preachers—made the defense they
pould, and boro their castigation meekly.
Bqt their wives were more spunky, and,
after meeting, gave the Radical assemblage
some plain talk.
This Storm Branch church was built by
Mr. B. S. Dunbar, of lids city, one of our
most prominent merchants and a Demo
crat of the old school. He gave it to the
negroes for religious purposes, and they
have converted it into a red-hot political
conventicle and Star Chamber.

“We call attention to the advertise
ment of biinmons’ Liver Regulator, which
appears in the paper to-day. This stand;
aid remedy does not deserve to be classed
with the many ‘patent’ nostrums so liberal
ly advertised throughout the country. It
is one of the very beat preparations of its
kind in use ; and is recommended by the
regular practitioners of medicine. It has
a large sale In this city, and can be found
in all our drug stores. A bottle or package
should be found in every family, as its ju
dicious use is almost certain to prevent a
Bilious attack, if taken when the symp
tom first show themselves.’’

1 take pleasure in coaiuieriding the Seven
Springs “iron and Alum Mass” to all who
may need a simple and efficient remedy for
the ordinary ills to which flesh is heir to.

case of remarkable recovery from chronic
dyspepsia. It is u “panacea ’ for sick head
ache, both to cure when it. (Mines, and to
prevent if taken in time. One great virtue
is, it is not bad to take, not often true of
physic. Respectfully,
G. F. Pierce, Sparta, Ga.
Further comment on the virtues or this
valuableniedic|ne Would bi'eni unnecessary.
The above testimony from in-hop Pierce
expresses the sentiments of thousands of
others who have used this simple medi
cine. There are various other diseases in
which this Mass is used, with the same
satisfactory results, and especially in Fe
