Bringing Cotton to Market by Wa
gon.
Since the Charlotte, Columbia and
Augusta Railroad has raised the
freight on cotton coming to Augusta,
we understand the farmers, in sections
tributary to Augusta, are hauling
their cotton to market, hence the large
receipts by wagons, lately reported.
Fashion Periodicals.
Messrs. Quinn & Pendleton have fa
vored us with copies of Demorest's Mir
row of Fashion and Frank Leslie's La
dy's Magazine, for November.
From Mr. Geo. A. Oates we have also
received Demorest's and Frank Leslie's
Lady's Magazine, for November.
Peculiarity of Frost.
There wero reports of frost in this
vicinity two or three nights last week,
and it is said that cotton and other
plants were injured. Per contra, we
have seen a letter from a gentleman
living on Staten Island, N. Y., dated
October 15th, stating that cotton plants
in his garden, without protection, had
not shown any effects of injury by frost
up to that time.
’Twas Ever Thus.
One of the loveliest flowers that ever
blossomed into beauty ’neath our
Southern skies leaves Augusta this
morning for the land of the orange
and magnolia—the beautiful Linda
Florida. And sad hearts and mourn
ful eyes are left behind, and tremulous
lips plaintively murmur : “ ’Twas ever
thus, from childhood’s hour.”
An Oyster Soup Treat.
Wo are indebted to Mr. H. P. Heitsch,
No. 55 Jackson street, for several
plates of flue oyster soup, with the ne
cessary accompaniments, sent to us
late Saturday night from his lunch ta
ble. Mr. Heitsch serves up oyster soup
every night at 10 o’clock for lunch at
his saloon.
The Missing Man.
Nothing authentic has yet been
heard of Mr. S. Sauter, who has been
missing from his home on Jackson
street for some days past. There was
a report yesterday that a man who ar
rived from Savanuah Sunday evening,
and knew Mr. Sauter, said he saw a
man on the street in that city who, he
was almost sure, was Sauter, but he
was not closo enough to speak to him.
Another theory is that he has gone
to New Orleans, from whence ho came
to this city, as he had frequently of
late expressed a desire to go there.
His friends continue to make every
effort to discover him, and will liberal
ly reward any ono who may enable
them to find him.

Sunday at Rabbit Hill, out of the city
limits, when one of them —Dick Scott —

name of the other party.
Alleged Larceny of Bank Notes.
Justice G. A. Snead, yesterday, issued
warrants for the arrest of Gilbert King
and Albert Lamar, both colored, upon
charges of simplo larceny—stealing
bank notes —to the amount of fourteen
dollars, from Henry Johnson, also of
the colored persuasion, last Sunday
night.
The parties wero arrested and
brought beforo Justice Snead, who,
after examination, committed them to
jail in default of SSOO bail, in each case,
to await investigation by the grand
jury of the Superior Court.
Beforo Justice Picquet yesterday,
Hubbard Bradford was charged with
larceny of bank notes from James
Low. Both parties lived in the same
house, and tho prosecutor alleges that
he went out Sunday for a few mo
ments, and returning missed his money,
two five dollar bills and a silver quar
ter. Ho therefore charged Bradford
with the theft, who, ho says, was the
only person in the house at the time.
The defendant was bound over to the
Superior Court, and not furnishing
bail to the amount of SI,OOO he was
committed.

bolong to the party, and a pistol was
fired in ono instance. In another case,
a colored individual knocked a white
man down with a brick, after a knife
was drawn by one of the parties.
Eventually, tho party got off, with
out any or-3 being seriously injured.
To the credit of the excursionists, we
will say that they behaved themselves
remarkably well —no disturbance oc
curring during the day.
Charged with Burglary.
Johnson Williams, colored, was
arraigned in the County Court yester
day, before Judge Claiborne Snead, on
a charge of burglary—entering tho

CHARGE OF JUDGE GIBSON.
After swearing in the jurors, Judge
Gibson delivered his chargo to the
grand jury as follows :
It is perhaps important that you
who constitute the most important
part of government should understand
its objects and duties. A strong man
may, perhaps, protect and defend him
self ; the rich certainly can. Yet so
ciety is composed of both tho strong
and the weak, the rich and the poor,
the ignorant and the wise, the good
and tho bad. To provide against an
archy, bloodshod and violence, it bo
camo necessary to form government,
and all just, wise and good men havo
fully recognized their value and im
portance to society. Protection to per
son and property, then, is the highest
and first duty of government. Every
man must feel secure of his person
from death and violence, and in his
property of every kind, as well as his
good name from shamo and infamy.
Governments may not furnish guards
to every man, but can enact and en
force penalties for every offense. Gov
ernments may not secure possession
and enjoyment of property at all times,
but should afford ample means for its
recovery. Tho foul and slanderous
tongue may not be silenced, yet ample
and suitable recoveries should be pro
vided. If, then, as members of so
ciety, we become parts and parcels of
government, we should scrupulously
enforce and observe all its require
ments.
The present fundamental law, both
of the State and the United States, pro
vides that no man shall be deprived of
life or liberty without the benefit of
counsel, a public, fair and impartial
tidal, in conformity to law then enact
ed. It will not do, gentlemen, for you
or me to say, “No one has complain
ed;” but you, as jurors, must inquire
diligently, and ascertain if any person
has been deprived of life, liberty or
property without due process of law.
It will not do for you to excuse your
consciences by saying, “ There was
very great provocation.” This can
only be ascertained by legal investiga
tion in the modes prescribed. I chargo
you, gentlemen, it is your sworn duty
to inquire if any acts of violence of
this character have been committed in
this county—l care not for the provo
cation —and to have every person con
nected therewith, from the jailer to
the policeman, including every other
actor fully punished therefor, and if
our jail is insecure and the city gov
ernment cannot or will not protect
us against violence and mobs, the
sooner tho fact is made fully to
appear the better it will be for
us. I am fully aware that vio
lence and resistance is attempted to bo
justified by usurpation and aggres
sions by U. S. Grant and his Congress,
and drunken judges, and that we find
in our midst many apologists, both for
the one and the other. But, gentle
men, one is the upper and the other
the nether mill stone, and between
them constitutional liberty is ground
so fine that I fear we shall only enjoy
iWts an epicurean does tho warm roll,
after its manipulation by the baker.
If our wisest statesmen can apologize
and justify the usurpations of Presi
dent Grant, and in violation of the
precedent of the immortal Washington
and the purest of statesmen liko Madi
son, Jackson, Polk and Pierce, com
mend him to us upon Jeffersonian De
mocratic principles, and this crowd of
exasperated people overturn law and
order to aid in this movement, what
may wo hopo for American Republi
canism and State government? If
your jail is not secure, make it so ; if
your jailer cannot be protected by an
armed police and four volunteer com
panies, turn it over to better and braver
men ; but, gentlemen, let us maintain
law and order under our present State
government, or the pretext will
be given to our modern Caesar
to burthen and oppress us with
more troops, and if a drunken judge
can by an order create the necessity
for overturning State governments, it
will be sustained by statesmen of great
wisdom. Can we be too careful in
Georgia in discharging every duty? Let
us furnish to usurpers no excuses to
overturn our present Stato govern
ment. A government which attempts
to develop a people by its aids and as
sistance to private, public and personal
enterprises must necessarily become
corrupt, because rings and combina
tions must and will control it. No
able bodied man, or set of men, has
anjr right to put his hand, even
through the agencies of government,
into the pockets of his neighbor to aid,
assist or help in the development of
his trade or business, or in the dis
charge of the duties imposed. It seems
to have been left to this government
of limited and prescribed powers
by a written constitution and every
man sworn to support it, to openly
violate the great right of the individ
ual citizen. I see by the papers that
in violation of the laws of your State
those great gambling shops of Ken
tucky and Virginia are, through their
agents, selling their tickets. I charge
you, gentlemen, that the oaths you
have taken require you to present
those agonts for punishment and sup
pression. Men must be taught to live
by honest toil and not by plundering
the innocent and ignorant. Loafing
vagrants, both white and black, still
infest your suburbs, commons and
street crossings. Some of them steal,
some cheat, some rob and plunder for
a living, others rot in filth and rags and
generate diseases. All are criminals
alike and of tho same class. I hope it
will be your pleasure to look after
them, and whether they be sons of
wealthy gentlemen or of unknown ori
gin, teach them that they must be em
ployed in some honest calling. The re
tailer who sells or furnishes liquors to
persons at the time undor its influence
should bo punished, and I only ask
you, gentlemen, to furnish me at least
one case. The carrying of concealed
weapons, keeping places for gaming
and gambling of every species, except
in cotton futures, is also prohibited by
law, and I givo thoso laws in special
charge, as well as the section of the
Code prohibiting indecent and profane
language, turbulence, and retailing at
any place of religious worship.
I am glad to see that you have at
last a respectablo place to meet in.—
The improvement of your Court room
shows a commendable public spirit in
your county officers which reflects
great credit upon them. I will endeav
or from this time forward to keep the
Court room for Court purposes only,
and not allow any political or other
meetings to be held in it.
You will please appoint your com
mittees and adjourn your body until
next Monday morning at 10 o’clock.
At the conclusion of tho chargo
Court adjourned in respect to tho mem
ory of the late Col. James Gardner.
Judge Gibson also announced that, in
consequence of his indisposition, the
Court would stand adjourned until
next Monday morning at 10 o’clock.
The grand jury afterward mot and
organized, and appointed the usual
committees.
MEETING OF THE BAR.
After the adjournment of court a
special meeting of the Bar was held to
take action regarding the death of Col.
James Gardner.
Judge William Gibson was made
Chairman and F. T. Lockhart, Esq.,
appointed Secretary.
Judge James S. Hook moved the ap
pointment of a committee of five mem
bers to draft suitable resolutions ex
pressivo of the sense of the Richmond
Bar, regarding tho loss of their brother
member, Col. Gardner, to report at the
reassembling of court.
The motion was unanimously adopt
ed, and the Chairman appointed the
following gentlemen as tho committee:
James S. Hook, William A. Walton
William R. McLaws, J. S. Lamar and
W. H. Hull.
The meeting then, on motion, ad
journed to nine o’clock Monday morn
iug.
Rossino. —Rossini had a favorite pro
vision merchant. One day the latter
rather bashfully said to Rossini, “ I
have for a long time wanted to ask
you a favor.” “Name it,” said the
maeztro. “It is,” replied tho mer
chant, “ that you will givo mo your
photograph, with a few words under
it.” “Willingly,” responded Rossini,
and ho took a photograph from his
pocket-book and wrote under it, “ To
the friend of my stomach.”
A Pennsylvania seven-year old was
reproved lately for playing out doors
with boys ; sho was too big for that
now. But with all imaginable inno
cence sho replied : “ Why, granma, the
bigger wo grow tho better wo like ’em.”
Granma took time to think.
Trumpery Tonics.
Moderation in the use of stimulants,
liko tho avoidance of all excesses, is
unquestionably praiseworthy and life
prolonging. All sensible persons ad
mit this. But the vendors of non-alco
holic slops, desirous of undermining
the reputation of Hostetter’s Stomach
Bitters in order to sell their own worth
less trash, have thought fit to go to the
length of denouncing as baneful in the
extreme all invigorants containing
spirits. Now, tho very reverse of this
is tho case, the fact being that no veg
etable bitters entirely devoid of alco
hol are worth a rush, that being the
one ingredient which prevents the de
composition and souring of the others.
Probably no one knows better than
you, Messieurs the Trumpery Tonic
Vendors, that the perfectly pure liquor
used to dissolve the botanic constitu
ents of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters is
the very best medium that could have
been selected to facilitate and confirm
the invigorating, protective and reme
dial action of the great stomachic.
