The locomotive,“South Carolina,” which

superior Court.
In the Superior Court yesterday, Judge
Gibson presiding, the case of Rosa W.
Woolfolk, by her next friend—suit for
damages-- commenced the clay previous, was
concluded. The jury rendered a verdict
for plaintiff for the sum of SI,OOO.
The case of R. W. Maher vs, the Augusta
Constitutionalist was taken up and a
jury struck. After short arguments regard
ing law points by counsel, the court ad
journed at a late hour in theafternoon until
9:30 o’clock this morning, when the case
will be resumed.
The Ten Cent Newsboys,
The news agent on the Georgia load re
quests us to explain to “Traveler,” whose
card appeared in our cotemporary yester
day, why he was'compelled to charge ten
cents for daily papers on the cars. In the
first place, he says, agents pay the road a
royalty of S6OO tor the privilege of selling
on the cars, besides there is a list of dead
heads connected with the railroad, which
the agent is compelled, or from courtesy,
to give papers daily. These “leaks,” the
agent says, forces them to charge ten cents
for each paper, in order to make a legiti
mate per cent, upon time and capital in
vested.
The above are the agent’s reasons, and
are given at his request.
—Everybody in town yesterday.
Let no poor hungry man escape—your
charity.
j —No man can tell how big his mindi is
until it is made up.
—A good clause in the charter of dur
lives—Santa Clause.

—There is a slight difference in a rad
[ nose gay and a gay red nose.
—Oil’s well in Pennsylvania. The yield
is nearly 28,000 barrels a month.
—To-day and to-morrow Santa Claus will
be the biggest purchaser in town.
—The cold did not injure the fruit of tl e
Catholic Christmas Tree last night.
—One of the streets of Sandersville, Ga.,
has been christened Silk Stockings.
—Spread your butter thinner, or cut your
slices thicker. Butter’s gone up ten cents a
pound.
—Senator Chaffee has a pretty daughter.
A number of Augusta parents are equally
as well off.
—Christmas shopping has begun in earn
est, and the early birds are getting the
choicest pickings. ; i*.
—When a hotel guest kicked a waiter
who treated him wrong, the proprietor said
he served him right.
—A church organ at Connersville, Ind.,
is made to praise the Lord by hydraulic
power. In Augusta it is done by elbow
power.
—Diplitheretie kisses 'are dangerous, in
infected neighborhoods, they say—but
some of the August boys are willing to
chance.
—One advantage in writing a poor hand
is that its possessor can frequently cover up
his bad orthography when it is committed
to paper.
—Will some obliging bull-dozing Repub
lican mention just one right which South
Carolina enjoys in common with Massa
chusetts?
—“The poor ye have always with you,”
saith the Scriptures, yet to human appear
ances our God-loving people scarcely know
etli the fact.
—They boast of a dog in Jackson county,
Georgia, which, one day last week, treed
four opossums and two cats up one per
simmon tree.
—lt is worth observing about these
times with what undaunted courage a.
small boy will look a confectioner’s show 7
window square iu the eye.
—A kicking horse, from which hangs a
most interesting tail, caused a sensation on
Ellis street yesterday. A dog fight could
not have collected a larger crowd.
—Sleep can be courted by laying a jug of
hot WL’-er at your feet on retiring. Pro
fanity can be courted considerably quicker
if the cork to the jug comes out.
—Whatever you get your husband for a
Christmas present, do not have the bill sent
to him until after Christmas. He might
possibly impugn your generosity.
—Boys are warmly protected by cloth
leggings, knit suits, and stout shoes, while
their little sisters defy the winter wind in
bare knees aud embroidered skirts.
—A fact of interest to the ladies: Of the
five or six hundred inmates of the Georgia
penitentiary, but one is a female and she
was pardoned by Governor Smith a few
days ago.
—lt is absolute folly to try to make a
child lmrdy by cruel exposure, or to protect
it from croup or pneumonia by a string of
amber heeds, or by shutting it up in furnace
heated houses.
—An Irish house-maid, boasting of her
industrious habits, said she rose at four,
made a fire, put on the kettle, prepared the
breakfast, and made all the beds before any
one in the house was up.
—Philosophers may disagree, but there
was a drayman out at the Georgia depot

safer to take time by the forelock than a
young Kentucky mule by the fetlock.
—Down in Troy an omnibus knocks a
lady down and one of the wheels rubs the
prwder all off one cheek without doing
further damage.—Air. That’s not the sort
of ’bus that induces them to turn the other
cheek also.
Nothing is so soothing as a sister’s
love. Every young man ought to have a
sister’s smiles to encourage him. If you
have not got a sister of your own, you may
be able to borrow 7 one somewhere in the
neighborhood.
Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup is particular
ly recommended for children. It cures
Coughs, Colds, Croup, Sore Throat and
Whooping Cough. Is pleasant to the

In the County Court yesterday, Judge
Claiborne Snead presiding, Sam Thomp
son, alia# Sam Mingo, was tried upon the
charge of simple larceny and convicted.
He was sentenced to twelve months’ service
at Hallahan’s.
This is the negro boy who has of late
been using his patent glass cutter upon the
windows of stores on Broad street and
laying in a stock of goods for Christmas.
First Cousins.
Mn. Editor: In your issue of yesterday
appeared the following puzzle:
“A and B are first cousins. What is the
relationship between A and the children of
B ? What is the relationship between the
children of Band A? What is the rela
tionship of the children of A and the chil
dren of B to each other ?”
Answer.—The relationship expressed in
“degrees” is as follow’s:
A and B are related in the second canoni
cal or the fourth civil degree. A and the
children of B are related in the third canon
ical or fifth civil degree. The children of B
are related to A also in the third canonical
or fifth civil degree.
The children of A and the children of B
are related to each other in the third canoni
cal or sixth civil degree.
Expressed in usual language. A and B
are first cousins. The children of A and
the children of B aresmwdcousins. There
seems to be no special name for the relation
ship between the children of A or the chib
of B and B or A; but they may be properly
classed under the general term cousjTw.mean
ing as it then does, “one"collaterally related
more remotely than a brother or sister.”

The People at the llall of the Irish
Volunteers Last Night.
TheJhird night of the bazaar at the H; 11
of the Irish Volvnteers for the benefit if
the Sunday school of the Church of tl e
Sacred Heart, was a most successful one,
judging from the number of persons pres
ent, compared with the two previous nights
of the festival.
Wednesday night, a reporter who appear
ed on the floor to take notes, was approach
ed by four beautiful young ladies and asked
to take a ten-cent chance at a small raffle.
Not having the dime he was compelled to
decline. Among the young ladies there was
a young,as well as vivacious beauty, who ex
claimed, “Here are three belles and I am
the clapper.”
To-night closes the entertainment and a
large addition in the way offgoodrand“fe
male loveliness is anticipated.
Close of the Hebrew Fair.
Masonic Hall last night witnessed a lively
ami merry crowd, who had assembled to
see the third and last of the entertainments
by the ladies of the Hebrew Society.
From eight until nine o’clock the little peo
ple gave “Mother Goose’s Melodies” to a
full house, and in a highly creditable man
ner. Indeed the little actors furnished an
evening entertainment well worth the price
charged for admission, and their praises
were on the lips of all present.
After the concert, the doors were thrown
open and an auction sale had of a number
of articles. The bidding was lively and
animated and the goods brought fabulous
prices.
In the raffle for the picture of Gen. Wade
Hampton, (a splendid crayon drawing by
Mr. Frank Simmons), Mrs. Julius H. Op
penheim was the successful contestant.
The large cake was won by Mr. McMahon,
and the splendid Afghan, the work of Mrs.
Moses, was won by Mr. Metrius Meyers.
These were the principal prizes drawn.
Upon the whole the fair has been quite a
success.
New Year’s Reception Dresses.
As the time honored and pleasing custom
of receiving New Year’s calls is likely to
be quite fashionable in this city, our fashion
editor lias been at considerable pains and
trouble in compiling a description of the
toilettes in which ladies receive congratula
tory calls on that day. As he has consulted
tlie most fashionable magazines and modis
tes, the results of his labors have been
highly gratifying. Among the most fash
ionable dresses for matronly and elderly la
dies is the princess dress, as it is especially
appropriate in design for home dress of
rich fabrics. Velvet brocades, plain velvet,
gros grain and satin are the materials used,
two of which appear in each dress. Black
brocaded velvet, with black silk or satin,
makes a handsome dress. The gores reach
from the shoulder to the foot, and are bro
caded in the middle of the front and back,
while side gores and sleeves are plain Bilk
or satin. The long slender dress worn
without scarf draperies in front and without
looping up behind is fast being adopted by
the leaders of fashion; there are sometimes
sashes strapped across the back—not tied
in bows—laid in folds, and fastened on
one side with knots or long loops; such
dresses are worn without any bustle, and
are almost as straight down behind as
in front. Just at the bottom the fan
train spreads out suddenly like an open
fan, and lies upon the floor quite near the
wearer, instead of being a yard or two from
her. This fan train is usually covered with
a cluster of fine narrow pleatings, massed
together, though in some cases it is left en
tirely plain, and a white muslin and lace
pleating fastened underneath is allowed to
show at the edge. Anew model is a prin
cesse dress of seal brown, velvet and faille,
with the velvet fronts lapped in fichu
fashion and fastened under a square train
behind. This square train is of four gores
of velvet, beginning on the shoulders and
extending in pleats to the edge. Other
princesse dresses of brighter colors are of
tilienl green and brown brocade in small
leaf designs, or else cream leaves on a car
dinal ground, or blue w ith silver arabesques,
and other quaint combinations such as
young ladies now select. Large long fichus
of white iisse, of lace, China crape, and of
muslin, are worn with dark silk dresses to
relieve them. Sometimes white jabots are
worn, but the fichus are newer.
Annual Plume DrilL
To-night at eight o’clock, at the hall of
Company B, Oglethorpe Infantry, will take
place the annual drill for the prize plume.
The best drilled man in the manual of arms
will wear the plume the ensuing year. The
judges will consist of an officer from each
company. The public invited.
Not Satisfied.
Mr. Editor— Sometime ago there w r as
considerable competition among the Demo
cratic papers of Georgia as to who could
use the strongest and most scurrilous lan
guage in denouncing all candidates who
would not abide by the nominations of
fraudulent primaries, and all voters who
would vote for any other than the clique
nominees. It was generally conceded that
the Chronicle and Sentinel bad, decidedly,
taken the foremost place in this contest,
but notwithstanding all the abusive lan
guage expended on this subject, and all the
efforts put forth by these papers, there was
found to be a large proportion of the citi -
zens of Augusta, and of other places in
Georgia who feared not the lash of the
domineering cliques, and who utterly re
fused to bow the knee to the imperious
“Baal” of primaries.
Incidents are constantly occurring which
loudly vindicate the judgment of the “In
dependents” in the positions they have
taken, and which call for an unfaltering
Insistence in the course w’hich they now
pursue. The “Independents” hold that the
system of primaries was first invented to
serve a great purpose, and while in the
hands of good men and manipulated hon
estly, with the sole object in view of ascer
taining, as nearly as possible, the feeling
and wishes of the majority of the people,
it was a useful and an acceptable institu
tion. Its days of usefulness are now over,
and the once honored and respectable in
strument has become a by-word and a dis
grace in our midst. It has become a most
dangerous tool in the hands of unprinci
Eled wire-pullers and tricksters, and used
y them not for the purpose of ascertaining
the will of the majority, but for the pur
pose of defeating it. The primary meeting
held in the Fourth Ward Wednesday night
is a strong case in point, and well illus
trates what I have to say on the subject. A
meeting of the Democrats of the Ward was
called by advertisement, the hour
o’clock, and the place Citizen (No. 8) En
gine House.
Fifteen minutes before the advertised
time, the President of the club called the
meeting to order—there being present about
thirty persons of whom not more than ten
or a dozen were voters —the others being
boys and non-voters. The President was
re-elected. The Chair—being already prim
ed—appointed five delegates to the Conven
tion, the meeting was adjourned and when
the advertised time arrived all was over.
By and by the people began to collect in
considerable numbers, but finding that all
the business was over they turned home
ward after having given fervent expression
to the hope that the appointed delegates
would be able to fully appreciate the digni
ty of the position they hold before the pub
lic.
The system as at present practiced among
us, is nothing less than a tremendous out
rage upon the the greatfprinciples of uni
versal suffrage, and those who manipulate
the institution in the manner I have de
scribed, are guilty of treasonably conspir
ing against the highest and most sacred
rights of American citizens.

gestible pound cake, and two chances at a
crayon sketch of Wade Hampton, lie is
generally regarded as a dangerous charac -
ter, with a tendency toward atheism.
fCOMMUN IUATED.]
Primary Meetings, So-Called,
Mr. Editor— lf we expect the people to
abide by the Democratic nominations for
our county offices, would it not be well to
be careful and have a free expression of
the Democratic voters at our primaries! 1
Now' it can be established by the lu st of
proof that this was not the case in the
Fourth Ward meeting last night, as it was
well known to the presiding officer ami
many others that a large portion of the
voters of said Ward could not be pres
ent earlier than eight o’clock, on
account of getting away from their
w r ork, the voters employed in the factory,
whom nine at lea9t out of every ten, would
undoubtedly have demanded a ballot direct,
for the candidates. The only fair way is
for all the candidates to receive justice, hut
it seems as if we cannot have a fair ex
pression at these meetings. The writer of
this article is satisfied the whole time con
sumed with the business of this meeting
did not exceed ten minutes, and in less
than ten more minutes there were at least
forty to fifty voters in sight of the place.
Now, Messrs. Editors, does it not seem
as if there was some preconcerted plan to
get rid of a certain vote in this primary
election? We are satisfied of this fact. We
don’t know’ how the delegates appointed
may cast their ballots, but I am well satis
fied as to who would have been the choice
for Ordinary had the candidates been bal
loted for; also Sheriff. We await furtjier
developments. Fair Pi,ay.

“We call attention to the advertise
ment of Simmons’ Liver Regulator, which
appears in the paper to-day. This stand
ard remedy does not deserve to be classed
with the many ‘patent’ nostrums so liberal
ly advertisod throughout the country. It
Is one of the very best preparations of its
kind in use ; and is recommended by the
regular practitioners of medicine. It lias
a large sale In this city, and can be found
in ail 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 whon the symp
tom first show themselves.”
The Seven Springs iron and Alum
Mass —Testimony Horn Bishop Pierce :
1 take pleasure in commending the Seven
Springs “Iron and Alum Mass” to all who
may need a simple and efficient remedy for
the ordinary ills to which fiesli is heir to.
To some of my friends it has been invalua
ble as a tonic and restorative. I know one
case'of remarkable recovery from chronic
dyspepsia, it is a “panacea” for sick head
ache, both to cure whon it conies, 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
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- j
male Complaints. This Mass can be had j
at the Drug stores of Jas. H. Alexander,
Broad Street, Augusta, Ga., Fleming Bros.,
and from Druggists generally. Every
family should use this Mass. octttf
Joy to the World? Woman is Free!
Among the many modern discoveries
looking to the happiness and amelioration
of the human race, none is entitled to
higher consideration than the renowned
remedy—Dr. J. Bradfleld's Female liegu
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 puriiles the blood.
It never fails, as thousands of women will
testify. This valuable medicine is pie
pared and sold by L. 11. Bradtield, Drug
gi t, Atlanta, Ga. Price $1.50 per bottle. All
respectable drug men keep it.
Sound and Well.
Atlanta, Ga , December 29,1868.
Dr. J. Bradjield:
Dear Sin: I take pleasure in stating
that, sometime previous to the late war, 1
used, with the utmost success, on a ser
vant girl, your Female Regulator, pre
pared thou at Bradtield’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 will state farther, that I know of its be
ing used with equal success in other cases.
I do not hesitate to endorse your prepara
tion for the purpose fir which you recom
mend it.
Yours truly,
John C. Whitneb.
