At Pendleton’s
To-day may be found the latest illustra
ted papers, magazines and choice literature.
Pendleton never fails in his line, though
the Returning Boards may occasionally
halt in their wild career.
The Cassell Shakspeare.
The Messrs. Cassell, of London, have is
sued, in monthly parts, a magnificent edi
tion of Shakspeare, profusely illustrated
and admirably edited. The agent for this
work is now in Augusta and will wait upon
our citizens.

Attending the Funeral,
Mr. P. Quinn, whose death occurred
Thursday night and was announced in the
Constitutionalist yesterday morning,
was formerly a member of the Irish Volun
teers. A detail of members from this corps,
under command of Lieut. James T. May,
will attend the funeral to-day.
Augusta Circuit.
The Supreme Court is now engaged upon
our circuit, and quite a number of the Au
gusta bar are in Atlanta in attendance. It
is thought that so many are absent as to
probably seriously interfere w’ith the busi
ness of the adjourned term of Richmond
Superior Court, which convenes next Mon
day.
M asonic.
At the regular communication, of Social
Lodge No. 1, F. and A. M. held last even
ing, the following officers were elected and
appointed for the ensuing year : Charles W.
Harris, W. H.;Wm. J. Pollard, S. W.; Wm.
AI. Joseph, J. W.; Thomas H. Stafford,
Treasurer, Wm 11. Crane, Secretary; A. E.
Hlalock, Tyler, Charles W. Green, S. D.;
J. W. Echols, J. IX; Nathan Davis, Stew
ard; J. W. A pel, Steward.
In Town.
W. AI. Weaver, Esq., of the Greensboro
Herald, , was at the Central Hotel last night
He reports that 1,058 beavers (leaving off
the thousand part of the figures) have
lately been caught and killed in Greene
county by a well known trapper, who ex
pects to make anew raid on the beavers at
an early day. One of the beavers captured
weighed nearly fifty pounds. It is a pity
the beavers were not Radical electors.
Compliments to the New Mayor.
A finely dressed pig, encircled with rib
bons, and having an orange in the mouth,
was exhibited by Messrs. I. S. P. C.
Tant, in front of their popular meat house
on Mclntosh street, near the Postoffice-
A card attached, bearing the words “To
the Hon. John U. Meyer, Mayor of the
City of Augusta,” indicated that through
the instrumentality of the Messrs. Tant,
that gentleman would soon have roast pork.
Two cans of fine oysters, bound with
blue ribbon, presented by Mr. B. H. Jud
kins, were on the waiter beside the pig.
The waiter, with what was on it, was sent
to Mr. Meyer yesterday evening.
Mr. Meyer has also been presented with a
number of fine turkeys and wild ducks, as
a compliment to him upon his triumphant
election to the Mayoralty.
The Registry List.
Having seen seveial flings at the Consti
tutionalist office in the local columns of
the Chronicle and Sentinel in regard to the
correctness of the above list as published
by us, in justice to myself and the office in
which lam employedT desire to slate a few
facts in connection therewith, as far as con
cerns us, which are as follows: When we
were notified that the list would be printed
at the Constitutionalist office we fur
nished the Clerk with proof-sheets
of the whole list for revision and
correction. The Clerk returned the
proofs several days afterward with correc
tions marked; The corrections were made
according to his marking and a revise then
furnished him. This healso read and made
in it a few changes. The list then appeared
to be satisfactory to him, for ho waited in
the office till I had it printed, occupying
several hours. This is a plain statement of
the facts of the case as far as the Consti
tutionalist is concerned. Now, I ask,
who is responsible, the printer or the author?
It is perhaps as well known to the Chroni
cle and Sentinel editor as it is to the printer
that the author is responsible for all errors
after having seen his proof. I would not
wish to he understood as saying that the
list was by any means correec, but I desire
the blame, if any, to go where it belongs
I have not been interested enough to read
the list as published by the Chronicle and
Sentinel, but I know of two errors in it of
parties in this office alone— one name was
entirely left out and the other was so mu
tikited that the voter could not vote under
it. Ihe list perhaps contains many more
such errors for aught I know.

—When a reporter takes the usual morn
ing rounds he is accustomed to meet about
687 men, who grab him by the coat, lead
him to one side, and proceed to ask him
about the latest news from Florida and
Louisiana. This sort of thing has been
going on a month. Yesterday morning,
about 10:80, a sandy-complexioned man
rudely stopped a reporter in the street,
dragged him into a doorway, and asked
him to give the exact figures on the Oregon
count The reporter paused a moment,
prayed to tie forgiven, and then sent six
shots from a self-cocker into the man’s
bowels. He died without a struggle, and
will be buried this afternoon at 3 o’clock.
He was, in most respects, an exemplary
citizen, and always paid his taxes like a
man. His wife and nine children will be
cared for during the winter by some of oar
benevolent societies. Small subscriptions
for their relief will be received at this office.
Lecture Postponed.
Owing to the inclemency of the weather,
the lecture advertised for last night, by
Prof. Peck, at Masonic Hall, was post
poned until next Wednesday evening, the
13th. In the meantime Prof. Peck and
his estimable lady, who accompanies him
on this visit, will remain the guests of Hon.
Patrick Walsh, on Broad street. Kn passant,
Augusta is the birth-place of Prof. Peck,
and he has met with many scenes and per
sons since his visit to the city to remind him
of his boyhood days.
Condition of Leaphard.
The condition of Mr. Leaphard, who
was shot on Wednesday at the Fourth Ward
polls during the progress of the city elec
tion, was yesterday in the opinion of the
attendant physician, Dr. H. Smith, con
sidered favorable. He was wounded quite
seriously, the pistol ball passing throngh
the upper lobe of the left lung. The wound
has not yet been probed as it was thought
such an operation might cause a hemorhage.
John Pigg, who is charged With being
the assailant of Leaphard, is still held In
custody.
The Work of an Artist.
The injunction of the “old man broken
with the storms of State" charging Crom
well to “fling away ambition" has been a
stumbling block in the way of many a
young man desirous of achieving a high
mark in his particular avocation, and even
has not the character of Woolsey been
reprehensible in other respects* the
damage done to the youth of every
educated land under the sun, by this
single charge of his, accompanied as
it is by reflections equally criminal in the
discouragement they offer to ambitious in
dividuals, would be sufficient to condemn
him in the eyes of successive generations.
Ambition should be carried into every
business in life. It is, Indeed, the parent of
artistic excellence in any department. One
of the most charmingly interesting produc
tions ever given to a cntical public was De
Quincy’s essay on “ Murder, Considered as
a Fine Art." It is true some of the expres
sions of the accomplished author lead us to
regard him as a man of cold-blooded cruel
ty. But, notwithstanding this, we cannot
do other than admire the masterly manner
in which he treats the art of murdering. If
a man adopts murder as a profession or
business he should carry into it a discrimi
nating mind, and an ambition to excel in
the art. He should be thoroughly familiar
with the anatomy of the human body and
all of its vital relations. He should under
stand the circulation of blood as it shoots
from the left ventricle of the heart through
the aorta to all portions of the body. He
ought to know precisely to what extent to
carry his process of arteriotoiny or vein
section in order to easily relieve his victim
of life. He ought not to make a botch of a
job that might be done in an artistic man
ner. He should not inhumanely mutilate
the body of his subject; but if he used a
pistol or a dirk he should do so with a full
understanding of the vital relations of the
Shuman body. He should handle his victim
with all becoming delicacy and refinement.
One murderer may be a very cobbler in the
business; another may be an artist. The
former should be visited with the direst
penalties of the law.
The same spirit of excellence should enter
into every department of life. The lawyer
should regard the law as a science, and he
should undertake its mastery as an artist.
So, too, with the physician, the merchant,
the broker, the architect, the mason and the
robber. Any of tnese high professions
sink to a vile and sordid level when they
are viewed solely as avenues to the accumu
lation of so much money; while on the
other hand, if viewed in the light of arts
and sciences and so regulated, they tend to
the advancement of civilization and to the
elevation of the human race.
Ordinarily we see very little of this high
ambition to excel in the noble arts; and
hence the many degrading practices in the
different businesses of life. But occasion
ally we observe a happy exception even in
our degenerate day—and m this connection
we call to mind the work of an artist that
attracted great attention yesterday at the
meat store of Messrs. I. 8. & P. C. Taut,
on Alelntosh street, next to the post-office.
A fine roast pig, beautifull y cleaned and
dressed, sat in a crouching or squatting po
sition upon a waiter. His attitude was
easy and natural as if he was just napping
for a brief space. Up and down his back
anti across his snowy hotly ran lines of blue
ribbon. His ears were caught gracefully
back and fixed with ribbon, while firmly
clenched in his mouth rested a large orange.
His faco wore a satisfied expression, as
though it were a consolation to him even
in the supreme moment of death, to have
gotten into the hands of two such artists as
Messrs. Taut. It is probable, if he had not
been so fortunate as to fall into their care,
some cobbler would have seized upon him
and hacked and mutilated his body in a most
unscientific way. In such an event he
would have been a martyr to inhuman bru
tality. But as it is, bis was a most happy
escape from such a horrid doom, and his
death was a high and noble sacrifice to art.
Messrs. Tant have our congratulations upon
the excellent and artistic manner in which
they conduct their business.
A card was attached to the pig upon
which was written, “lion. John U. Meyer,
Mayor of Augusta." We suppose his pig
ship reached our worthy Mayor in due sea
son, and will very soon begin a process of
disintegration under the pressure of incisory
influences.

In view of the new functions of Gen.

Can the Republicans afford to be not only
wrong but ridiculously wrong ?
Samuel J. Randall, the new Speaker, was
born in Philadelphia, October 10, 1828, and
received an academic education, first en

into politics. Four years be was in the
Philadelphia city council, and in 1858-9 in
the Senate of Pennsylvania, and at Wash
ing in the Thirty-eighth Congress, and has
been re-elected ever since. Air. Randall
lives with his family in a plain way in a

When Fred Grant slapped the reporter’s

parts of Freddy Grant.

A Runaway.
Thursday evening, between five and six
o’clock, as Air. Henry Page, keeper of the
toll gate of the Summerville plank road,
was driving along the Carnes road, his
horse became scared by some object on the
road aud ran at break neck speed homeward.
Mr. Page was thrown oqt of his wagon
about half a mile from the toll gate and se
verely injured on the forehead aud top of
the The horse was stopped near Rap
pold’s Woddlawn Retreat by Messrs. Jaw -
orsky, Bansley and Harbig, who were dri
ving toward the city. They then drove
back and found Mr. Page severely Injured,
He was earried home. Although he
was then senseless he WM doing well yes

A Distinguished Crematiouist.
Col. Samuel F. Wobb, of Augusta, Grand
Seignor of the Oriental Order of Humilitnte,
is at the Kimball House, and report says he
is here negotiating with Fatty Harris for
the cremation of that gentleman's body
when he 6hall have shuttled oft’ this mortal
coil. t±A(\n
Col. Webb presided at the recent crema
tion of the body of Col. Wm. R. Suppus,
late of Atlanta, which took place in front
of the Central Hotel, in Augusta, a few
weeks ago. Since that time he has received
mauy letters from prominent gentlemen in
this city, who desire to establish here a
“Hut” of that ancieDt Order. Persons de
siring to con6nlt Col. Webb on the subject,
will find him at the Kimball House. He is
fully posted on the subject of cremation,
and’ believes that it can be successfully
practiced even in tbe case of Fatty Harris.
The above we find in the Constitution of
yesterday. We hope C-01. Webb will, iu
accordance with the resolutions of the So
ciety, call upon Mrs. Buppers and her seven
little ones, and, as the chief executive offi
cer of the most honorable order, deliver to |
her the resolutions of coadolcu :e recently
adopted.
It is rumored in confidential circles that
Mrs. Suppers and the children wiil accom
pany Col. Webb upon his return to Au
gusta.
The Society has certainly made a wise
selection for an escert, tor there U no mem
ber, it is said, more eminently qualified to
act as a husband of the widow and father
of the orphan than the most worthy Seignor
Col Webb. The Colonel is always popu
lar with tbe ladies, and children cry lor
him. The distinguished bereaved will sure
ly meet with a warm reception from the
Houoa Humilitate.
tor or
Inaugural Farce.
A special to the Charleston Journal of
Commerce says Governor Hampton declares
that Chamberlain’s inauguration on Thurs
day was the best thing that could have been
done for the Democrats. The Constitution
provides that a Governor can hold over un
til his successor is elected, and Chamberlain
might have given trouble by taking ad
vantage of this provision, but by his in
auguration he waived his right to hold over,
Another point advanced is, that the term of
Boone, who swore Chamberlain in, expired
in November.

A Handsome Compliment.
At the recent meeting of the stockhold
ers of the Charlotte, Columbia and Augus
ta liailroad, the Finance Committee paid
the following deserved compliment to
President John B. Palmer:
‘Tt is a source of great gratification to
your committee to be able to congratulate
the stockholders upon the extinguishment
ol this large floating debt, which has em
barrassed the company for so many years.
Ihe scheme devisee! by the President, and
approved by your committee, h&viug for
its object the entire absorption of this debt
by the sale of an equal amount of first and
second mortgage bouds, has, by his zealous
and untiring efforts, been most successfully
carried out. It was accomplished, too, at a
time of great financial distress, amid many
predictions of failure, and in the presence
of almost insurmountable obstacles. Too
nmch credit cannot be accorded him for
the manner iu which tills operation was
effected. He is entitled to the cordial thanks
of this company.”
Wood Scarce.
There is quite a scarcity of good wood
here at present. We went to several yuids
yesterday, and found but lit.le of conse
quence. G. B. Parker at the yard of the
0. C. &A. R. R., had a good stock of pine
and a small quantity of hue black jack
wood on hand. The ruling prices now for
tunning lots of wood, is ijto 50 per cord,
an 1 for the best black jack, or choice of
wood, is $0 each delivered. For dry pine,
delivered, $5 per cord is obtained; and for
ben light wood $0 per cord.
The late cold snap, it seems, has hail the
effect of almost cleaning out the stocks of
neirlyall the wood dealers.
A John Bull and Piscatorial Display.

Executive Committee.
It is highly necessary that a full attend
ance of the Executive Committee of Rich

the City Hall. Business of great importance
will come before the Board, and a full at
tendance is very desirable.
The Florida Committee.
The committee of Congressmen recently
appointed to visit Florida, will arrive in
this city this morning on the Charlotte,
Columbia and Augusta train, and will leave
via Yemassee on the Port Royal Road for
th--ir destination. We regret the citizens
will not receive this notice in time to have

tinguished visitors.

Joy to the World I Woman is ( Vree!
Among the many modern discoveries
looking to tha happiness aud amelioration
of the human race, none is entitled to
higher consideration than the renowned
remedy—Dr. J. Bradfield’s Female Itogu
ulator, Woman's Best Friend. By it woman
is emancipated from numberless ills pecu
liar to her sex. Before its magic power all
irregularities of the womb vanish, it cures
whites. It cures suppression of the menses.
It removes uterine obstructions. It cures
constipation and strengthens the system.
It braces the nerves and purifies the blood.
It never fails as thousands of women will
testify. This valuable medicine is pre
pared and sold by L. 11. Bradlleld, Drug

Atlanta, Ga., December 23,1868.
Dr. J. Eradjleld :
Deau Sir: I take pleasure in stating
that, sometime previous to the late war, I
used, with the utmost success, on a ser
vant girl, your Female Regulator, pre
pared then at Bradfield’s Drug store, West
Point, Ga. She had been suffering severely
from suppressed menstruation, and this
medicine soon restored her to health. She
is to-day living in Atlanta sound and well.
I \yjlj state farther, that I know of its be
ing usud with equal success in other cases.
I do not hesitate to endorse your prepara
tion for the purpose for wWoh ypu recom
mend it.
Yours truly,
John C. Whitner.
“We call attention to the advertise
ment of Simmons’ Diver Regulator, which
appears in the paper to-day. This stand
ai and remedy does not deserve to be classed
with the many ‘patent’ nostrums so liberal-
Iy advertised throughout the country. It
is oufi pf the very best preparations of its
kind in pew ; affd is recommended by the
regular practitioners of medicine. It has
a large sale in this city, and can bo found
in alfour drug stores. A boLtlo or package
should be found in every family. s its ju
dicious use is almost pertain to prevent a
Bilious attack, if taken when toe symp
tom first show themselves."

The Seven Springs tKbx v an’d> Alum
Mass.—Testimony from Bishop Pierce:
I take pleasure in commending the Seven
Springs “Iron and Alum Mass’* to all who
may need a simple and efficient remedy for
the ordinury ills to which flesh is heir to.
To some of my friends it has been invalua
ble as a tonic and restorative. I know one
case ofremarkable recovery from chronic
dyspepsia. It is a “panacea’ for sick head
ache, both to cure when it comes, 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 ou the virtues of this
valuable medicine would seem unnecessary.
The above testimony from Bishop 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
male Complaints. This Mass can bo had
at the Drug Stores of Jas. H. Alexander,
Broad Street, Augusta, Ga., Fleming Bros.,
and from Druggists generally. Every
family should use this Mass. oct4tf
Sensible Advice.— You are asked every
day through the colurnusof newspapers and
by your druggist to use something for
Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint that you
know nothing about. You got discouraged
spending money' with but little success.
Now to give you satisfactory proof ihat
Green’s .\ugust Flower will cure you of
Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint with all its
effects, such as sour stomach, sick head
ache, habitual eostiveness, palpitation of
the heart, heart-burn, water brash, coming
up of food after eating, low spirits, Ac., we
ask you to go to your druggist and get a
sample bottle of Green’s August Flower for
Id cents, aud try it, or a regular size for 75
cents, two doses will relieve you. Bold bv

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TUB
AUGUSTA MARKETS.
Constitutionalist Office, )
C o’clock P. M. f December, 8, 1876. J
Remarks.
Tue condition of trade remains the same
as it was when we issued our last weekly,
with the exception of some activity in the
retail business, in the way of toys and hol
iday presents, but the trade in the heavy
articles, such as baoun, flour, grain, etc.,
remain dull. Bacon has declined somewhat,,
owing to a decline iu the West. There lias
also been a decline in corn, owing to the re
ceipts being more liberal. Other leading
articles remain without any' change.
Cotton is arriving freely.
Financial.
There has been an increased demand
during the past week for first-class securi
ties, at quoted figures, with fair offe ing
and some sales have been made by brokers
and others. Money continues easy.
