The Meeting Last Night.
A public meeting of the citizens was held last
night, at the City Hall,Mr. B. Conley in the Chair,
ami Col. M. P. Stovall, acting as Secretary.
Judge John P. King addressed the meeting in
an able argument in favor of tlie subscription, by
the City Council, of #s'J",o<» in the Stock of the
Savannah Valley railroad.
We were compelled to leave at an early hour,
and are not prepared to state what other gentle
men addressed the meeting, or what business was
done otherwise.
Savannah Valley Railroad.—Shall Augus
ta Subscribe?
As this important question comes up to-day for
the action of our citizens, we re-publish the resolu
tions recently passed bv the City Council of Au
gusta defining the conditions of the subscription.
It is, we thiuk, apparent that the interests of the
City are strictly guarded. The terms here laid
down are such as must protect our City from detri
ment, and will probably secure to her as large a
share of the advantages of the project as the most
zealous friends of the Savannah Valley road among
us could reasonably anticipate.
The subject, has been elaborately discussed
in all its bearings, and if our citizens err in
their decision to-day, it will not be for want
of light. We have no new views to present,
but simply here record our conviction that the
construction of the road will promote the prosper
ity of Augusta, and that the proposed subscription
by' the City under the restrictions laid down, would
be judicious and wise :
At a called meeting of the City Council of Au
gusta, the following preamble and resolutions, in
troduced by Mr, Bitt, were adopted :
Whereas, a majority of the Committee, appoint
ed to report upou the propriety of the City aiding
in the construction of the Savannah Valley railroad;
and said majority being supposed to represent the
views of a majority' of the legal voters of this citv.
Therefore—
Resolved, That the City Council will, with the
concurrence of a majority of the legal voters of the
City to he expressed in the mode prescribed bv
law, subscribe £SiK),OoO to the capital stock of said
Company, on the following terms, as a basis tor
future negotiations:
Ist. The subscription not to be obligatory, un
less the Savannah Valley Railroad Company shall
within six months, obtain good and reliable cash
subscriptions of payable without quali
fication or condition, except the condition of the
whole sum being made up from parties other than
the City Council of Augusta.
2nd. No discrimination shall ever be made
against this point. In any future arrangement of
freights, whether local or through, Augusta shall
parti 'ipate fully in the advantage of the minimum
rate, whether it be in the up or down charge for
th>' transportation of passengers, produce or mer
chandise.
3rd. The principal business office and work
shops of the Valley road to he iu Augusta.
4th. The construction of the Valley railroad
shall be commenced at Augusta, and proceed con
tinuous!'.- to its junction with the Rabun Gap road,
and shall from some point to be designated by the
City Council be constructed on tlie Northern or
river side of the Augusta canal, so as to make the
canal embankment on that side the bed of said
l-oad from the point so designated, to some other
point to be iu like manner designated between
Ray’s Creek and the head wall of said canal.
oh. The connection between the Valiev road
and the Georgia railroad, shall be at some jioin
west of Camming street, and that of both oi thest
roads, with the South Carolina railroad, shall hi
b- ween the now eastern terminus of ihe Georgia
railroad and the through Depot lot of the South
Carolina railroad south of Walker street, and tins
latter connection shall be by horse. power only.
t>di. For the connection herein proposed, th
railroads in interest, shall pay, or caused to hi
paid to the City Council of Augusta, such sum
as Uie Council may deem a just equivalent for tin
same.
7. The City Council of Augusta to be secured
one-third of the Directors of said Valley road, arm
tiia: :lie Directors thus provided for and secured,
shall be annually nominated by the City Council.

SisGfLAY Accident from the use of Ethf.r.—
The Detroit Tribune states that a young lady, a
member of one of the first families in that city,
recently, while suffering from neuralgia in her
face, in her agony threw herself upon h r bed and
attempted by the use of ether to alleviate her suf
fering. While applying that remedy, by accidem
she dropped the vial and spilled the ether upon
her shoulder and the pillow. The strong fumes of
it soon rendered her helpless and powerless, and
only by mere accident she was discovered. All
her powers were prostrated, and notwithstanding
all medical assistance, her life is despaired of. She
has not yet recovered her consciousness.
Mr. Mason writes from Paris that the diploma
tists of all nations consider the war at an end, and
tha- all the relations of peace are about to be re
sumed. The conference, however, may enter upOD
a system of negotiations, embracing the revisions
of the treaties of 1315, by which the general inter
national relations of the great and minor powers
of Europe were settled. It is needless to suggest
that this is a work of such vast proportions, as
must, if undertaken, greatly prolong the session of
the conference.
A resolution was offered in the Louisiana Legis
lature recently, to prohibit the sale of lottery tick
ets within the State. Mr. Sr. Paul, who offered it,

tickets, and that a quarter of a miliion is paid for a
similar purpose to Alabama and Maryland.

Mr. T. S. Piggot’s Letter.
We cheerfully- comply with the request of this
gentleman, and spread his defence of the Associa
ted press before our readers.
Columbia, March 26th.
James Gardner, Esq. — Sir: In the issue of the
Constitutionalist of Sunday last, an article appears,
assailing the New York Associated press, to which
I propose to reply. I request, therefore, the privi
lege of using the same columns, through which
the assault was made, for my defence of the Asso
ciation.
Tour strictures are based upon the assumption,
that the New York Association make a large pro
fit out of the despatches which thev receive over
the wires from Halifax, and if that can be demol
ished, the superstructure which vou have reared
upon it must necessarily apple to the ground. 1
will, therefore, state, 'that the presses of the
four cities of C harleston, Savannah, Augusta and
Columbia, do not pay- now more than enough to
meet the simple expenses of tolls to this point from
New \ ork and New Orleans, and that during the
brief continuance of the agency at Augusta, the
four cities enumerated, did not contribute enough
;o pay the expense of getting the news to them.
In fact, the receipts from the entire southern
press and merchants, barely met the expenses
of this agency, consequently the southern press
contributed neither directly or indirectly, one soli
tary cent towards the defraying of expenses upon
steamer’s news from Halifax to New York. If I
had the hundred patrons, of whom you speak,
some profit upon the Association’s news might be
made; hut as I have not quite one fourth of that
number, newspapers and merchants, included, I
am not able to “peddle out” the news at quite so
large a profit as your imagination has suggested.
Your surmise, that the Association have any
interest in increasing the tolls of the Telegraph
Company by sending despatches of unnecessary
length is palpably fallacious; for as the Association
sell you the news at a fixed price, without refer
ence to the quantity sent and pay the tolls thereon,
it is manifestly their interest to get despatches in
a.- brief and condensed a form as possible.
In conclusion, I have only to renew the offer
which I have made heretofore to the presses of
Augusta and Savannah, which is, to furnish you
with just such news as you may wish to receive,
from any point you please, at just such u price as
will barelv cover the expeuse of getting the news
to you. The Associated arrangement you admit
to be the best in respect to its news facilities; and
that it is the cheapest you can have, I unhesita
ingly assert. Possessing then, the advantages of
reliability and cheapness, it fears competition with
, no other arrangement, and will not lack for pat
rons, even should the editors of Augusta and Sa
vannah withdraw their support,
Respectfully, T. S. Piggot,
Agent New York Associated Press.
If as Mr. Piggot states, “the presses of the four
cities of Charleston, Savannah, Augusta and Co
lumbia, do not pay now more than enough to meet
the simple expenses of tolls t> this point from New
Tort and New Orleans,” we answer in the name
of common sense and common justice, why should
•uch a claim be demanded or expected from those
publishers ? Must they pay for the work where
the publishers in Philadelphia, Baltimore, Wash
ington, Richmond, Portsmouth and a dozen other
places reap the benefits ? Is it expected from the
four cities named, that they shall pav, to this
point, from New York, the telegraph tolls for news
which is to be dispatched to Columbus, Montgom
ery, Mobile and New Orleans, and to all other
Southern points for publishers and merchants?
Byway of illustration—A. consents to proceed
from New York to New Orleans, and charge noth
ing torhis time, if B will only agree to pay his
ravelling expenses—the bargain is made—C D
and E each agree to pay his travelling expenses to
Philadelphia, Montgomery and Mobile for some
lew minutes talking services to be performed—
at Philadelphia, F G and II pay travelling ex
penses to Richmond, Augusta and New Or
leans, for similar services—-at Baltimore, A
picks up customers to talk for at Portsmouth, Co
lumbia, S. C. and New Orleans, and so on through
out the route, and through the alphabet, each party
paying only travelling expenses. It may appear
very liberal on the part of A, and many persons
will give him great credit forhis disinterested labor
—but bow will stand A’s financial condition when
he reaches New Orleans ? He talked for each man
for only travelling expenses, and while lie made
nothing for las labor directly, he lias realized about
fif >oo profits on his trip, in the way of travelling
expenses!
Is it reasonable or just that the publishers in
Savannah, Charleston, Columbia, and Augusta,
should pay the travelling expenses of the New- Ysrk
Vgent FROM New York to this point or Columbia,
when he is on his way to New Orleans? The
Ygeut, or his telegraph news, does not leave New
i ork specially for this point only, but meets us on
iis journey, and demands pay for his travelling
xpenses from New York before he can communi
•aie bis news.
We very well perceive she j ie rx? under which
*lr. Piggot assumes tha. our surmise that the As
s i iaied Press in New- York have an interest in
.ending iorward despatches of an unnecessary
■ 'tigth and devoid of interest, is “palpably falia
ious.” But, where several parties, on a long line ,
require telegraph news, and the Associated Press
•ay one toll for all, and then multiply the
>f customers by the amount first paid, of course,
.aviug reference to the distance, it is very probable
hat the Association isausi-ms to have the multiply
ing numbers as large as possible, so as to make a
very gratifying and profitable result.
Mr. Piggot’s offer, in conclusion, to serve the
presses of Savannah and Augusta, for “just such
t price as will barely cover the expense of getting the
Mows to us,” is apparently plausible, but it is the old
ory of “merely paying travelling expenses.” If
we have to pay “just such a price,” it is as well to
get somewhat nearer the source of information,
.lid have the news hashed over the wires to us
direct, without waiting for the circuitous route
around and through Columbia, situated as it is off
>f the main or through line of communication.
Now, to test Mr. Piggot’s fairness, will he agree
) furnish us, or the cities named, with the tele
graph news, and none others, if we agree to pay
•notigh to “cover the expense (the telegraph tolls,)
i’ getting the news to us.” He partially offers to
do this, and perhaps may intend to make that im
ression, but says he has about twenty- other cus
tomers who of course each pay "just enough to
cover the expense of getting the news to them.”
As he is the Agent of the New York Associated
Press, does he feel authorized to contract with us,
upon the above terms, and not send any of the
clegraph news, by the wires, beyond Augusta?
Os course he will nor, because ho calculates to re
live from each and all his customers "just enough
?o cover the expense of getting the news to them.”
Personally, we have the highest respect for Mr.
Piggot, and were anxious to continue our business
relations with him as the Agent of the New York
Associated Press, and when he removed from Co
lumbia to Augusta, we doubled his salary, and yet
he wanted it still further increased. We thought
1 1,2' mi a year was a sufficient salary for Mr. Piggot,
at this point. When at Columbia, he only asked
and received J6OO, and he was then, as now, the
Agent of other newspapers and private parties, and
in receipt of liberal salaries from them as their
Agent. It is true, we paid “ the travelling ex
penses,” or telegraph tolls, as all others did, but
at Augusta, where the Agent was located, we con
tended we had no tolls to pay, as every-thing he
tarnished us was on its way to New Orleans, but
for all that we willingly consented to pav the Agent
double what he charged at Columbia.
The New A ork Associated Press, as we conceive,
extorts too much money out of too many parties
for the same “travelling expenses,” and we think
we have satisfactorily exemplified that fact in these
remarks.
We have never been captious fault finders with
the Associated Press, or with the Telegraph Compa
ny or with any of the Agents employed in conduct
ing the business in either department. In all our
intercourse with them we have found them polite
and attentive, and urge no objection except to the
unreasonable exactions of their so often charged
“travelling expenses.”
However, before closing, it may not be improper
to state that, as a general thing, the daily papers
in the Middle, Northern and Eastern States, and in
some portions of the South-western States, publish
telegraph news, promptly, because we presume they
reeeive it, but South of Washington, we often no
tice it published from one to two days old. This
condition of things has certainly not escaped Mr.
I iggot s attention. We do not refer to steamer’s
news, but to other matters of general intelligence,
which, if worthy at all of being sent by telegraph,
should be transmitted speedily.

H. G. FARRELL'S
CELEBRATED ARABIAN .LINIMENT
[S well known to possess the most wonderfully
healing, penetrating and stimulating properties,
and by its promptness in effecting cures, which
previously had resisted all other medicines, ad
ministered by the most scientific phyefoians, has
placed it far beyond any similar remedy ever in
I reduced to the 'people of the United States. It
stimulates the absorbents to increased action, and
thus enables nature to throw off disease —it pene
trates to the botur, adding strength and activity to
the muscles - it is powerfully anodyne and thereby
allays nervous irritation, producing a delightfully
pi< using sensation through the whole frame. Owing
o its remarkable autieeptic properties, it purifies
and neutralizes that poisonous, corrosive principle
which renders old ulcerous sores so difficult to heal;
it therefore is peculiarly adapted to their speeds’
cure. This Liniment from its penetrating anil
strengthening qualities has been found to be a spe
cific lor Paralysis or Palsy, V* hiteswellings and
diseased joints, and in fact all complaints invol
ving the muscular system. It has cured cases of
Rheumatism of twenty to thirty years’ standing,
aud affections of the Spine wherein the entire spi
nal column was so crooked and distorted, that the
patient could not walk or stand without artificial
support. Numerous cases of Palsy have been
cured when the flesh had withered, leaving nothing
but the dried skin and bone, and the limbs totally
without use or feeling. ¥or Children with, Croup
it is of inestimable value, rubbed and bathed over
the throat and chest, it applied freely on the chest
it never tails to give relief in the severe (dough* at
tending Consumption, Asthma and Colds. It heals
wounds speedily—will cure Sealdhead, Mange, etc.
Planters and Farmers will find it a most valuable
medicine to be applied to Horses and Cattle for
•sprains, Bruises, Lameness, Still Joints, Sweeney,
Dry Shoulder, Wounds, Burns, Splint, Chafes or
Galls, Hardened Knots on the flesh, etc.
Look out for Counterfeits !
The public arc cautioned against another coun
terfeit, which has lately made its appearance, called
W. B. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment, the most dan
gerous of all the counterfeits, because his having
Hie name of Farrell, many will buy it in good
faith, without the knowledge that a counterfeit ex
ists, and they w ill perhaps only discover their error
when the spurious mixture lias wrought its evil
effects.
The genuine article is manufactured only by 11.
G. Farrell, sole inventor and proprietor, and whole
sale druggist, No. 17 Main street, Peoria, Illinois,
to whom all applications for Agencies must be ad
dressed. Be sure you get it with the letters 11. G. be
