AUGUSTA, Q-A.
THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 19, 1870
MORE CAPITAL WANTED.
There seems to be no denial of the fact
that Augusta wants greater banking facil
ities and more capital. New York mean
while is overflowing with idle money.
Bankers there are seeking employment for
unproductive currency, and, *we are au
thoritatively informed, will readily accom
modate responsible parties, on long time at
fair living rates —such rates indeed as many
of our people would consider comparative
ly low.
Now, why should not a great corpora
tion like the Georgia Railroad and Bank
ing Company, with over four millions of
good property to back it, negotiate a loan
in New York, for six or twelve months, at
four to six per cent.? In this way, it seems
to us, a million of dollars could be brought
here and used in a safe and conservative
manner at from twelve to fifteen per cent.
A banking house, with its officers and facil
ities, already exists. Allowing for ordi
nary losses from b id debts, and such losses
would be small, a fine opportunity presents
itself for considerable profit to the bank
and immense business advantages to mer
chants here and planters who deal with
them.
Anterior to 1865, Augusta and Hamburg
employed a little upward of $3,000,000 of
banking capital, upon which currency was
issued to the amount of nearly $10,000,000.
We now have one National Bank, with a
capital of $500,000, which issues $400,000;
a Savings Bank, with a capital of $150,000,
and no issue. Money, therefore, is scarce
and tight in Augusta, and costs, on short
paper, about twenty per cent.; while in
New York it is plethoric, and forced upon
prime borrowers at five per cent, on long
time.
The credit of Augusta merchants and
business men geuerallv is again established
where it once stood, upon a high and firm
basis. No people can point to a better re
cord than we made on the 4th of last No
vember, when over $500,000 of “ fertilizer
paper” fell due, and every dollar was paid
before 3 o’clock. Another instance is not
less remarkable and creditable. A collect
ing agent of Clafian & Cos., of New York,
informed one of our most distinguished
lawyers that, of $1,000,000 of sales, all had
beeu paid up but SIO,OOO, one-half of which
was good, though a little tardy. Cin any
Western or Eastern State make so bright
an exhibit, though free from the tyranny
of the National Government, and not of
necessity a prey to domestic and alien
thieves ?
Os the “ fertilizer paper” much had been
bought by outside parties at from two to
three per cent, a month off. What better
paper, theu, could be offered to any dis
counting house than a trusty planter’s draft
on his factor and by that factor accepted.
Is there any reason why bacon should
sell here at say 18c. and the addition of one
cent per pound for each month the account
runs until paid ? By this process the plant
er is often compelled to pay as high as
eight cents interest on eighteen, for eight
months; in other words, nearly fifty per
cent.
We want more banking capital. We
want cheap money. Until we get greater
facilities, it is idle to talk of great enter
prises, manufactories, etc. If the plan we
have sketched out for accomplishing this
purpose, viz: through the Georgia Railroad
Company, be impossible, will somebody in
form us how the problem can be solved in
any other quarter ?
Corruption. —A special to the Courier
Journal from Washington runs thus :
“It is said that Bullock has corrupted
some of the Democrats of the Georgia Leg
islature, and by the packing of the body
can control it for his plunder schemes, so
that prominent Georgians now here fear
the State will be made bankrupt, like North
Carolina, by next Autumn, if Congress al
lows the Legislature to stand.”
Trot out these venal Democrats. Let’s
have their names!
McFarland.— Mrs. McFarland claimed
“ first blood” by publishing her defense in
the Tribune, and proving that her husband
was a brute and a ruffian. But “ the brute”
has the honor of a second “ knock-down
blow” by the publication of his late wife’s
letters, wherein she contradicts her present
story and alludes to him as something a
little higher than the angels.
The First Nager. —Representative
Pierce, of the First Mississippi District,
has nominated a colored cadet to West
Point. Notwithstanding previous similar
announcements, this is the first appoint
ment of the kind yet made.
His Father. —“ Old Mr. Bennett., of the
Herald, is fast failing in health, and he may
be called to his Father at any moment.”

Our New York Correspondence.
New York, May 15,1870.
Cotton has developed a stronger tone
during the past week than I have noticed
in more than a year. I mentioned the cause
of it some three weeks ago, but it did not
then attract much attention, and the sub
sequent free receipts at the ports caused it
to be lost sight of, or regarded as valueless
asjagainst the effect of those receipts/ Now,
however, we have seen Liverpool! advanc
ing when that market was expected to de
cline. The shipments from Bombay show
a large falling off as compared with last
year; the East India cotton is not so de
sirable in quality as last year, and therefore
requires a much larger admixture of
American cotton to work it; and the con
sumption of all descriptions of cotton has
materially increased. Accounts from Man
chester show that so far from increased
estimates of thecurrent crop of American
cotton producing any depression, they ex
cited much enthusiasm among spinners, as
a guarantee of an ample supply of cotton
for the future, which would permit them
to enter upon a full production of goods.
This is not the first time that an increased
supply of a leading staple has led to an
advance in the price of it.
General business has Itecome fitful in its
character, and the upward teudency which
prevailed in April seems now to be want
ing. Indian corn, which has been very
scarce, is now arriving more freely, and
all apprehensions of a serious scarcity arc
dissipated.
The McFarland trial terminated on Tues
day, with a verdict of “ Not Guilty.” Every
body anticipated this. And yet. the degree
of public interest, which was excited dur
ing the last few days of the trial has never
been exceeded In any of the celebrated cases
which have marked the history of our
criminal courts iu the past quarter of a
century. Mr. John Graham, the counsel
for the defense, in his address to the jury
on Monday, went over the testimony ip the
case, and in doing so, spared not Mrs. Mc-
Farland nor “ her paramour,” Richardson,
nor the witnesses for the prosecution, nor
the whole school of “ Tribune free-lovers,”
and has drawn upon himself many exhibi
tions of the.r malice and resentment. The
termination of the case in the courts has
been followed by the publication of a long
statement of Mrs. McFarland’s, detailing
her courtship and -marriage with McFar
land ; the quarrels between t hem; the man
ner of her acquaintance with Richardson,
and the inception of her intrigue with him.
Bhe reveals in this statement the character
of a weak, impulsive, ambitious and reck
less woman. The news boys made a groat
success of it, by crying “ Ere’s the liextra,
Iribune —got Mrs. McFarland’s Confession,"
and perhaps this Is the best criticism upon
it. Accompanying this statement or confes
sion, were memoranda from Richardson; one
purporting to be written nearly two years
before he was killed, in which is set forth
the manner and extent of his intrigue with
Mrs. McFarland. He chivalrously endeav-
ors to exculpate her, and takes all the
blame of their premature intimacies upon
himself. He expresses the opinion that
McFarland was insane, and would un
doubtedly attempt his file. He leaves no
doubt that if he had seen McFarland
sooner on the fatal night, in the Tribune
office, it would have been the quickest
trigger and the steadiest aim which would
have decided the question of fife and death
between them. I learn, also, that Mrs.
McFarland says she is quite willing to be
lieve that her husband was insane when he
took Richardson’s life, for he (McFarland)
had been a madman for years. McFar
land is blustering a good deal since his ac
quittal, and may so conduct himself that
it may be necessary to take some steps to
prevent him doing further mischief. It is
reported that his counsel have not been
paid, the other expenses of his defense hav
ing swallowed up all that his friends could
contribute or raise. It is notable, in con
nection with this trial, that the Herald has
never once priuted John Graham’s name,
and lias published but a meagre sketch of
Ids address to the jury. And “ thereby
hangs a tail.” Twenty years ago John
Graham was counsel in a libel suit against
the Herald, and bore down pretty hard upon
its publisher. He was soon afterward a
candidate for an important office, when
the Herald abused him ferociously, where
upon Mr. Graham cowhided Bennett.—
Hence the feud.
Intelligence by mail leaves no doubt that
a formidable attempt has been made re
cently upon the life of Napoleon 111.
Preparatory to the judicial election
which is to take place on Tuesday, 2,879
colored voters were registered on Friday
and Saturday in ihis city, and nearly as
many more will vote in Brooklyn. It is
expected that they will “ fight nobly.”
We have at length some fine Spring
weather, and vegetation is coming forward.
We have, however, a large supply of early
Spring vegetables from Charleston.
We are to have a “ tournament ” at the
Brooklyn Prospect Park, after the maimer
iu which such entertainments have beeu
gotten up iD the Southern States. It has
been undertaken at the suggestion of Mr.
Gallaher, late editor of one of the Rich
mond dailies, and, if successful, will prob
ably give anew direction to our Summer
enjoyments. Some young ladies of Brook
lyn recently had a trial at archery, uuder
the patronage of the Young Men’s Chris
tian Association. Prizes were awarded to
the most skillful.
This week was a “ week of weeks ” to
the strong-minded of the feminine persua
sion. Not only one, but two conventions
having been simultaneously held, each de
voted to the cause of Woman’s Rights,
though divided one against the other. One
presided over by Tilton, of the Independent ,
conjointly with Mrs. Stanton, has occupied
Apollo Hall while the other, under the
especial patronage of Beecher aud Lucy
Stowe, have made Steinway Hall re-echo
to their outcries against the men. The
assemblage first named style themselves
the “ Union Woman’s Suffrage Society,”
aud the latter the “ American Women’s
Suffrage Association.” Which of these
being the preferable title we do not feel
ourselves competent to decide. The rival
assemblies, however, though harboring
against each other a sufficient share of the
animosity usually engendered by a “ quar
rel in the family,” yet think it necessary to
preserve an outward show of becoming
affection, and, consequent on this, have in
terchanged little notes mosj touehingly
affectionate in their tone.
The attendance at their meetings has
been sparse, nor has it made up in quality
that which has in quantity been wanting,
both audience aud performers being In
these particulars much alike. The number
of women was not great, but the propor
tion of ugly women has been such that no
man possessing anything of manhood could
have remained inside, and, in consequence,
the few men who have been there have
been rather deplorable specimens of their
sex, who sat and bore all the storms of
feminine rage, which were sufficient to
have overwhelmed an entire army. Among
the orators lias been an old negro woman,
one huudred and three years of age, Miss
Sojourner Truth, and who, with an eye to
the practical, disposed of photographs ol
herself among the audience at 50 cents
apiece.
The division iu the ranks of the strong
minded took place about a year ago In the
National Woman’s Suffrage Association,
when Mrs. Stowe, with a numerous body of
adherents, seceded from the jurisdiction of
Mrs. Stanton and her prime minister
Susan, and organized a company of their
own. This division, however, so far from
being accounted an evidence of weak
ness, is more property to be considered a
symptom of growing strength, for it is only
when an association feel a degree of
strength within themselves that they can
afford to dispute upon or think seriously in
regard to minor matters; when very weak,
they are only too glad at all hazards to
cling together. Both conventions are now
at ari end, nor has anything very new or
of special interest been enunciated. A
proposition that “ women should have the
right to choose their own husbands” was
received with much approval.
This is indeed the season of anniversaries
of all sorts, and now that the McFarland
trial is over, people amuse themselves by
going to these.
“ Gin and milk,” too, is ODe of the popu
lar sensations, and bids fair to rival “ Shoo
F!y,” which has so long held its own.—
The Presbyterians are ranging themselves
into opposite parties on the question, the
iriends of Mr. Smythe affirming that in gin
and milk there is no sin, while his enemies
maintain that to drink the same is an un
pardonable offense.
Jnst now we have at the Academy the
Parepa Rosa Troupe, who are performing
English operas,arid next week two or three
nights of Italian opera will lie ventured
upon. At the Fifth Avenue Theatre Thou
Frou, after a very successful run, will be
withdrawn. L3 7 dia Thomp.son’s Troupe is
still at Niblo’s,Fechter at the Theatre Fran
cat's, and John 8. Clark at Booth’s. A1
Fisk’s are the Twelve Temptations, which
proved a success. It is said that in the
Fall the Black Crook will be revived at
Niblo’s. W ILLOUGHBY.

From Washington.
bullock’s programme—the state road
gen. JORDAN AND CUBA-FASHIONABLE
MULATTO WEDDING—SOFT CRABS.
Washington, May 16,1870.
An agent of Bullock’s has arrived hire!
to reopen the crusade against the people of
Georgia. Bullock’s present programme, of
which you have had intimation by tele
graph, is to secure the adoption of a bill
drawn by Beast Butler and identical with
the Virginia bill, save that it will contain
a clause permitting the organization of a
negro militia. This, on the face, is so much
of a concession from the Bullockites.thatit
is thought the bill can be got through both
Houses without delay. There Is a trick in
it, however; and,if adopted, Bullock thinks
there will be no difficulty in perpetuating
the Legislature, Indeed, he is confident, of
it; and hence the Bullock lobby will write
for the Butler bill. If Congress does permit
itself to be made the tool ot Bollock & Cos.,
it will not be through ignorance ; for this
latest carpet-bag plot will be promptly and
fully exposed. Thus the fight over Georgia
will commence anew at its first starting
point., when Mr Bingham triumphed over
Beast Butler,*as it is to be hoped lie mav
triumph again. Bullock’s name appears in
a bill w hich has passed the Senate for incor
porating the Southern Express Company,
Which is to carry on the express business’
south of Washington. It is rumored here
that the State Road will be disposed of to
this company, which will not only be a
good investment of itself, for the corpora
tors, but will enable the Southern Express
Company to maintain exclusive control
over a large amount of express business.—
This project is believed to have given rise
to the report that Bullock had sold the
State Road to the Adams Express Com-
pany. S._ M. Shoemaker, Superintendent of
the Adams Express Company at Baltimore,
is one of the corporators of the Southern
Express Company. Bullock has evidently
given up all hopes of being perpetuated in
office, and is looking elsewhere than to the
State Treasury of Georgia for the means
wherewith to purchase purple and flue
linen, Havana cigars and wine baths.
Bullock has been au expensive luxury
to the people of Georgia, and if he suc
ceeds in making away with the State
Road before the expiration of his official
term he will make himself very dear indeed.
Gen. Jordan is daily expected in Wash
ington. He has no intention of abandon
ing the Cuban cause as has been so exten
sively reported. On the contrary, when he
has completed his mission in this country,
he will return to Cuba and enter the field
again. The friends of Cuba are auxious
that while he is in Washington he shall
appear before the Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations and the House Commit
tee on Foreign Affairs, both of which have
resolutions in relation to the recognition
of Cuba pending before them. If he cannot
be summoned in due form, it is desired that
he should be permitted to appear and make
an informal statement as to the condition
of affairs in the Ever Faithful Isle.—
This will probably be done. His views
have, however, been given to the public
very fvily through the exertions of the
interviewing reporters of the New York
press. Apparently very little interest is
taken in the affairs of Cuba in official cir
cles here ; and Secretary Fish, it is well
known, looks through the gold-rimmed
Spanish spectacles of his son-in-law, Mr.
Webster, of New York, who is the counsel
for the Spanish Government in this coun
try.
A great deal has beeu said in the news
papers about the approaching marriage of
a daughter of Downing, the colored Con
gressional caterer. It has been assumed,
because of the prefixes “ De La ” to the
name of the groom, (that is to be), that he
is white, and a Frenchman. This is a mis
take. Mr. De La Reintre is a Boston
darky, who has adopted a distingue name.
Nothing can be easier; and the traditional
Pomps, Sambos, George Washingtons, etc.,
etc., will soon give way to names from the
ranks of the French nobility and the Eng
lish peerage. But to the Downing wed
ding. It has already “ made a stir in
fashionable circles,” and in this way : The
ceremony is announced to take piace at
one of our most fashionable churches, and
will be performed by the daintiest of Rev.
; Creamcheeses. This .‘act fires with fury
the feminine fashionables, who look upon
the proceedings as anything but coleur de
rose. Downing will not be put down, how
ever, aud the local Jenkinses will do full
justice to the coming event. Colfax will
be present with his smile and the President
with his cigar, and rude and untutored
Africans wiil throng the aisles and infest
the pews. “ Niggers has riz.”
A Bohemian strolling up the avenue the
other day—everybody calls Pennsylvania
avenue the avenue—was attracted" by an
announcement of “ soft crabs ” in the win
dow of a restaurant. Dinner time was
several hours distant, aud the Bohemian
thought he would indulge in a lunch. He
was told the crabs were the “ first of the
season,” aud rather small. He thought he
could manage a dozen Drolled. He ordered
them. They were brought, and with them
a check, which was turned down by his
plate. The crabs proved small indeed, and
not particularly good either. They were
disposed of, however, under protest. In
reply to complaints as to the size and
quality of the crabs, the waiter responded
that they were “ very dear.” So the par
taker found them, on tnrniDg over his
check, which called for Jive dollars. The
Bohemian departed a fuller but a wiser
man, and with a considerable hole in his
poeketbook. It only remains to be said
that the writer did not lunch on crabs that
day. Ami.

THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE LIVES.
The liver has a very important part to perform in
the animal economy. Its function is twofold. The
fluid which it secretes tempera the blood and regu
lates the bowels, and upon the quantity and quality
of the secretion depends, in a great degree, the adapt
ation of the blood to the requirements of the system
and the due removal of the refuse matter which re
mains in the intestines alter the work of .digestion
ha* been accomplished.
One of the principal uses of Hostetter’s stomach
Bitters is to tone and control this somewhat unruly
organ. The anti-bilious properties of the preparation
are s.carcely secondary to its virtues as a stomachic.
Its operation upon the liver is no', violent like that of
mercury, but gradual and gentle. Instead of creating
a sudden tumult in that sensitive gland, it regulates
its setton by degrees. Henoe, it is a safe remedy for
bilious disorders, while mercury, being a tremendous
excitant, is not. The more naturally and quietly a
diseased organ can be restored to its normal condition
the better, and it is the peculiar property of this
harmless vegetable alterative to reinforce and regu
late without exciting or convu sing.
The success which has attended its use as a remedy
for affections of the liver is proverbial. Persons of a
bilious habit who lake it habitually as a protection
against the attacks to which they are constitutionally
liable, pronounce it the beet liver lonic in existence.
Thetympioms of an approaching fit of biliousness
can hardly be mistaken. A paltl in the light side or
under the shoulder blades, a saffron tinge In the
whites of the eyes, sick headache, a feeling of drowsi
ness, low snlrits, loss of appetite, constipation and
general debility are among the usual Indications of a
morbid condition of the liver, and as soon as they ap
pear the Bitters should be resorted to in order to
ward off more serious consequences. mj 15-d*ctl

NUT GRASS. NUT GRASS*
How to Exterminate It!
Hav ING discovered a plan by which
the farmer and gardener can conquer and ex
terminate this great pest by agricultural pro
cess, with but little more than the ordinary
labor of cultivating land, I offer to auy one
desiring the information, and who will pledge
themselves not to divulge the secret for any
consideration to another, to give them the plan
on receipt of FIVE DOLLARS—obligating
myself in every case to return the money, with
interest, if a failure.
This plan 1 discovered by actual operation,
and have found it to be successful, and needs
only to be presented to the intelligent mind to
obtain favor and adoption. 1 do not hesitate
to say that a hand by my process can tend at
least half the usual quantity ot land of very bad
nut grass the first, and all that a hand can do
anywhere the next year.
What I call nnt grass is a small black cocoa
looking nut with numerous fibrous roots and
having a main one shooting out, forming an
other nut and blade of grass. These roots and
the bottom of the blade resemble the vountr
cane root. 6

The National has paid up cash capital of one million dollars, secured by „.

any Company, its policy holders will be secure, otherwise not. Capital secures
