Sisters who have rendered themselves
remarkably popular on each of their
Sonthern tours. We bespeak a rousing
welcome to the troupe. A fine band
and superb orchestra accompanies the
troupe.
The River.
There was a very general enquiry
yesterday as to the state of the river,
and some uneasiness was felt regar
ding a freshet, but up to five o’clock
in the afternoon the water seemed to
have- receded from the highest point
reached the day before. At 5 p. m.
Friday, it was 25 feen 7 inches. At 8
a. m. yesterday, it was 25 feet even. At
12 m. 24 feet 11 inches, and at 5 p. m.
24 feet 7 inches. It is probable there
will be a slight rise to-day, but it will
not prove to be important unless there
has been a heavy rain up the country.

Meeting of the Board of Education.
The regular monthly meeting of the
Board of Education was held at the
City Hall yesterday morning at 11
o’clock, Hon. JohnT. Shewmake, Presi
dent, in the chair, and a quorum of
members present.
The minutes of the last meeting were
read and confirmed.
The report of the Finance Committee

lowing persons, who had passed satis
factory examinations: Mrs. Amanda

A communication from Mr. Benjamin

On motion of John S. Davidson, Esq.,

pointed), to report at the next meeting.

ing, which was adopted:
Resolved, That the public schools of
the Board of Education of Richmond

from funds belonging to the district in
which the pupils reside.
The resolutions were, on motion, re
ferred to the committee to be appoint
ed to consider the communication of
Mr. Benj. Neely.
On motion the Board adjourned.
Caught Stealing Papers.
Subscribers of both daily papers
have been greatly annoyed of late at
missing their papers almost every
morning. It was first thought the
fault laid with the carriers, who might
fail to leave papers, but it got to be a
regular matter, on Greene street espe
cially, when it was determined that the
newsboys were the trespassers, aud
several gentlemen have since been
watching for them. Yesterday morn
ing Mr. J. L. Maxwell, living on Greene
street, below Elbert, decided to see
what became of his papers, and it was
not long before he discovered a young
colored boy walk up the steps and pick
up the two papers which had been left
in the piazza by the carriers. He walk
ed out and collared the young thief
and marched him to the police office.
The youngster was afterward brought
before Judge Snead, in the County
Court, aud gave his name as Andrew
Wilson. He was about fourteen years
old. He said he was told by “ Uncle
Abram ” to go there and see if the car
rier had left the papers. The evidence
being strong against him, he was con
victed and sentenced to work thirty
days at Hallahan’s brick yard.
We are endeavoring to detect the
parties who steal the Constitutionalist
—and when caught we shall allow the
law to take its course—whether the
party convicted is large or small,
young or old.
* Sly Stealing.
Two small boys were detected yes
terday afternoon in stealing toy books
from two book stores. At Messrs. W.
T. Richards & Son’s store, a young
colored boy named Walton Monroe,
from another book store, met the boys
at the door, and bravely told them he
wanted the books they had taken from
the store where he stayed. He put his
hand under the coat of one of them and
drew out a toy book, while the other
boy ran off up the street. He had not
proceeded far before several paper
covered books dropped from beneath
his coat.
Walton, the colored boy detective,
ran after the second boy, who dropped
the books on the pavement, but could
not catch him, while in the meantime
boy No. 1 also took leg bail, bo the
enterprising young colored boy failed
to capture either of the would-be
thieves, but recovered a part of the
books stolen. It appears that these
boys went at the job in a systematic
manner, trying each book store in turn,
and in one instance paying a second
visit to one of the stores.
It would be well for clerks in stores
to keep a strict lookout for these
precocius youngsters. The names of
the boys above mentioned are not
known, but they will be recognized
when next they appear.

A land slide occurred on the Air-

delayed.

The Washington, Wilkes County,
Gazette, taking it for granted that the
Force Bill would pass the Senate, fired
an editorial broadside in that direc
tion. So did the Louisville Courier-
Journal. Both papers were slightly
premature and unnecessarily eloquent.
The Bank of Washington (Wilkes
county) is conducted rather queerly.
We learn from the Gazelle the follow
ing particulars:
On last Saturday morning, Mr. Hack
ney, the Town Marshal, was passing
along the walk just in front of the
Bank of Washington, and looking in at
the door, which had been opened by
the negro man employed to sweep and
clean up the room, and who was then
engaged in his mQrning task of sweep
ing it out. He observed .that the
large burglar and fire-proof safe in the
back part of the room was wide open.
He entered and found a large amount
of money lying exposed in the open
safe. Through an oversight, the of
ficers of tbe bank had forgotten to
close .the safe the night before, and
the money contained in it was left with
only the ordinary wooden door, open
ing on the street,. between it and the
outside world.
There was the handsome little sum
of $55,000 in the safe. Sixteen thou
sand dollars were lying in full view, in
one package, just as it had been re
ceived from Augusta the evening pre
vious. Mr. Hackney notified the prop
er authorities at once, and had every
thing made safe.
Strange to say, the negro who was
sweeping had not observed that there
was anything wrong, and thus missed
a splendid opportunity of making a
name for honesty by not taking any of
the treasure so temptingly spread out
before him. He idso missed the chance,
if he had been so inclined, of pocketing
a large fortune, and then of serving his
State for many years in the peniten
tiary.
The Daily Democratic Statesman
says in reference to the vote passed by
the House authorizing the improve
ment of the mouth of the Mississippi,
by what is known as the Eads plan,
that Eads gathered about him all the
wealth of all the railways that con
verge at St. Louis, and these propose
to keep the nioulh cf the Mississippi
closed for years and forever. Jetties
are substituted for canals, and millions
will be sunk in the sea, and at last the
people must pay for a canal from New
Orleans to deep water in Barrataria
Bay.
In a card to the Albany Times Bishop
Doane says : “It seems a little short
of irreverent trifling with a great mys
tery, and irreverent ingratitude for a
great mercy, to question that the
abundant fall of snow, followed by the
past gentle and gradual thaw, is truly
God’s answer to the many prayers—
some worded one way and some an
other—which have been offered to the
Throne of Grace.”
A Colored Civil Rights Case.
Yesterday morning at an early hour,
the residence of a colored man named
John Floyd, on Telfair street, (near the
eastern end) was entered by a graduate
of the county chain gang named An
derson Brown, who took a seat by the
fire and acted in a most familiar man
ner. John got up and ordered him
out, but he declined to go.
John asked him, “Do you know who
lam ?” “No, I don’t, and keer less.”
After ordering the Civil Righter three
times to leave, John took up an inch
and a half board and “boarded” the
intruder over the head, knocking him
down three times before he got out of
the door.
The Civil Righter departed, support
ed on the arm of a friend, and threaten
ing to see Lieut. King, who, he expected,
would arrest and punish the man who
acted as master of his own house.
Lieut. King, however, did not receive
a visit from tho intruder, and if the
said negro had called the boot would
probably have been put on the other
leg.
Floyd says that if this is Civil
Rights, and it continues in this man
ner, his idea is that very soon there
will eventually be no Civil Rights or
niggers, either !

AUGUSTA DAILY’ MARKET.
Office Daily Conshtutiona list, i
Saturday, March 6, 4 P. M. J
Business generally yesterday was very
quitt—in fact, dull, in consequence of bad
weather, which has a depressing effect, es
pecially on the wholesale trade, the demand
for large quantities of leading staple arti
cles of merchandise being curtailed in con
sequence of the inability of planters to con
veniently reach their market. In the re
tail grocery line there appears to be a gen
eral cutting down—a curtailment of ex
penses— a large number, if not a majority
of the mechanics and working men of this
city, being now employed only on half
time. In consequence, they spend less,
and, therefore, our retail grocers are doing
a smaller business than usual. What they
are doing is principally on a cash basis,
which indicates the possession of an innate
honesty of purpose on the part of our
workingmen. Though money is plentiful
and readily obtainable on good paper,
there is no desire to borrow, but the ex
pression of an intention on the part of
working men to live within their means,
which is on the plan that if you make
only one dollar a day, you might save at
least one-tenth—lo cents—as well as if you
made live dollars and saved one dollar.
Financial.—The banks seem to have
plenty of funds on hand, but there is not a
very considerable demand for loans, first
class paper or collaterals being always re
quired.
Exchange—©n New York is not very
freely offered, while the demand is only
moderate. It is buying at par and selling
ai % premium. Exchange on Savannah
and Charleston is buying at %@% off, and
selling at par,
There were some sales of securities, as
follows: Central Railroad, 58: Augusta
Factory, 165; Georgia Railroad stock, 80%.
Gold.—There has been a rather larger
demand for gold this woek, principally for
the purpose of paying duties on guano.
Brokers are bying at 113 and selling at
115.
Silver—Buying at 102 and selling at 105.
Cotton.—The Augusta Exchange re
ports the market quiet to-day with light
offerings and small sales, but prices con
tinued firm, as quoted yesterday.
The closing quotations were: Good Ordi
nary, 14%; Low Middling, 15%; Middling,
15%..
Receipts of the day, 401 andj sales, 159
bales. The receipts at all United States
ports were 8,159 bales; same day last year,
11,327 bales.
Produce.—No material change in prices
since the publication of our regular weekly
report of Friday in our issue of yesterday.

THE EVIDENCE presented In the statements of the respectablo and intelligent plant
nra O F\!TP4T r prn d ri?T7rS tlO3 will satisfy Southern men that this CONCE.VTRA
FERTILIZER may claim to be equa ~ if not superior to any in the
market, that being composed of a base of raw-bone, decomposed with Sulphuric Acid
and a combination of Chemicals, it is devoid of the enormous amount of inert matter
which all Phosphate Rock preparations must contain; and that it presents the best
guarantee of a large profitable return, as testified to by ail who have used it. We refer
to our Pamphlets for this evidence, as it is too voluminous for our advertisement The
preparation is varied in composition to meet the condition of the two great classes of
oin soils •
Our C. FERTILIZER adapted to Clay Soils.
Our 0. FERTILIZER adapted to Sandy Soils.
