• All peifeons haying claims against
The Constitutionalist are requested to
present them at once for payment at
the office of publication, No. 43 Jack
son street. r p , . *
H. C. STEVENSON,
Business Manager.
Augusta, Ga., April 27,1875.
Coals to Newcastle. —The Atlanta
Herald cßuckles over the fact that
Clarke, the hatter, shipped, the other
day, a big bill of goods to Augusta.
Cannot some of our hatters retaliate
by shipping a big bill of goods to At
lanta?
Commencement Address. —We are
pleased to announce that Hon. Joseph
B. Gumming, of Augusta, will deliver
the commencement address before the
Cherokee Female College, of this city,
on the 23d of June next. (Jol. Cumming
is one of Georgia’s distinguished sons,
and we can assure our people that a
flue literary treat is in store for them.—
Borne Cormnetckd.
The Yale Lock Box and the Augusta
Post Office.— Mr. Wm. H. H. Lane, of
New York, who is agent of the Yale
Lock Box, is in the city. He is endeav
oring to get it introduced in the Au
gusta Post Office. It is the best and
most convenient ever invented, and
certainly would be an improvement
upon the system now in use.
We are requested by Mr. Lane,
General Secretary of Y. M. C. A., to
state that the "Children’s Meeting”
will not take place until Saturday, May
Bth, 1% p. m. He desires to make this
a season for the children’s enjoyment.
He is anxious to have the pastors of
the various churches, with the super
intendents and teachers of the Sunday
schools, present. He proposes having
these meetings every two weeks.
The Colored Fair. —The superinten
dents of the colored Fair have our
thanks for a liberal supply of the
many good things, in the eating line,
sent to our office last evening. This
Fair, at Douglass Hall, is for the bene
fit of Trinity Church, and we trust has
proved a great success. The colored
people of Augusta are, in general,
worthy members of the community and
evince a praiseworthy desire to be upon
good terms with the white citizens and
imitate their virtues.
•*-
Superior Court. —This court met at
the usual hour yesterday morning.
The jury in the case of Goode Bryan,
trustee, vs. Central R. R. & B. Cos. ren
dered a verdict for the defendant. The
case next called was that of Wm. Rus
sell vs. McNorton, administrator—
rule to foreclose mortgage—which oc
cupied the attention of the court dur
ing the day, and at a late hour of the
afternoon the jury retired, with in
structions to seal their verdict, and
court then adjourned until this morn
ing at 9 o’clock. By consent of coun
sel, Wm. A. Walton, Esq., presided as
Judge in this case because of the fact
that Judge Gibson had given advice to
one of the parties engaged in it, and
therefore did not desire to preside.
The grand jury meets at 10 a. m. to
day.
Open Air Meeting of the Young
Mens’ Christian Association. —We .un
derstand that the Young Mens’ Chris
tian Association propose having anoth
er open air meeting at the City Hall im
mediately after their usual meeting in
their hall. If the weather is as pleasant
then as it has been to-day, doubtless a
very large crowd of gentlemen and
ladies will be present. The meeting
will take place at 5:30 o’clock, not to
last longer than one-half or three
quarters of an hour, und will be opened
with singiug, after which, Hon. H. Clay
Foster, who will give general direction
to the meeting, will read|the scriptures.
Programme: Hymn. Prayer by Rev.
C. A. Evans. Hymn. Short address by
Thos. K. Cree, of Washington City.
Hymn. Short address by Rev. Z. T.
Sweeney, pastor of Christian Church.
Hym. Prayer by Rev. M. B. Wharton.
Hymn. Benediction by Rev. Dr. Irvine.
Mr. James W. Wallace will be present
and have charge of the singing. All
are invited to attend.
The Bremond Combination.— The
Bremond Combination gave another
entertainment, last evening, to a mod
erate audience. When it is remem
bered how gracefully this troupe
waived their claim to the Opera House
for the Richmond Hussars, and the at
traction their band gave to the Memo
rial Dity procession, it is hardly the
handsome thing to refuse them a cred
itable patronage. Independent of any
sentimental claim, the entertainment
they give is a remarkable one. Miss
Hall is ati excellent art is: e in her pecu
liar line, and sings admirably; the
negro characters are capital, Wood’s
personation of "Old Black Joe”
being specially well done and
life-like. Nothing more wonderful
than the acrobatic performance
of the infant Apollo has ever
been seen in Augusta. This is a bright
and beautiful child, and a genuine
phenomenon. The Juggler, Prof. Riely,
is the best we have had on our stage.
M’lle Cerito is ggace personified, and
her transformation dance is a novelty
at once charming and incomparable.
The Garretta family perform sothe
astonishing feats upon revolving
globes, and are alone worth the
price of admission. It may be
that “hard times” have made our
theatre-goers careful o? even the small-,
est sums of money. We can imagine
no other excuse for the comparatively
meagre support accorded by the public
to this troupe, which has shown a com
mendable desire to be friends with our
people and furnish them with a flrst
class entertainment. Give them a
good house to-night, when the last per
formance vvili take place.
In the County Court yesterday after
noon, J. Guiffrida and Vincenzo Pro
vanzano were arraigned on a charge of
assault upon E. M. Miller. After a
hearing of the case Judge Snead im
posed a fine of §lO and costs in the
case of each, which was afterward re
duced to §5 and costs, which was paid
and the defendants discharged.
The Richmond Guards (colored) had
their second monthly parade yesterday
afternoon, under command of the cap
tain Daniel Lamar. The company is
composed V6f about sixty members,
though lees than half of that
jiumber On parade

Yesterday was a fair day, pleasantly
cool.
Thermometer at the Signal Office
yesterday afternoon 75 degrees.
The Board of Education meets Sa
turday, at the City Hall, at 11 a. m.
The thermometer at the . City Hall
yesterday registered at 7:15 a. m., 61
degrees, and at 4:16 p. m., 71 degrees.
It is probable that J. Prescott El
dridge will soon give u dramatic recital
in this city.
Strawberries are now selling at 35
cents per quart. When they first ap
peared in our market §1 per quart was
obtained for them. The season is fully
two weeks late this year.
Railroad hands are engaged in plac
ing new iron on the curve the inter
section of Walker and Twiggs streets.
This is a good move, as several run offs
have occurred at this point.
The members of Trinity (colored)
M. E. Church, last night, inaugurated a
fair at Douglass Hall, corner Greene
and Jackson streets, for the benefit of
their church.
A young boy in a store yesterday,
looking over papers, had a placard at
tached to his coat tail, showing the
words : “ I am blind.” The joke was
discovered before he left the store.
The rendition of “Old Black Joe” by
Mr. Joe Woods last night at the Opera
House was highly appreciated. The
ladies connected with the Bremond
Combination are the most ladylike and
modest we have ever met.
A small colored boy, aged 14 or 15
years, fell in the river yesterday by
over-balancing himself at the wharf.
He plunged in head-foremost, but was
soon rescued by the men working on
the bridge.
The beautiful banner presented to
the Ladies’ Memorial Association, of
Augusta, some time since, by Mrs.
Pegram, of Baltimore, and won in close
contest by the Georgia Independent
Fire Company, was borne in the pro
cession on Monday by the Mechanic
Fire Company, to whom it was pre
sented by the Georgia.
We understand that the soiree,
which was to have been given by the
students of the Richmond Academy, on
Friday evening, at the Augusta Hotel,
will, in oonsequence of the Spelling
Bee occurring on that night, take place
this evening.
Loose Cows and Horses in the Streets.
Editors Constitutionalist:
A communication appeared in the
Constitutionalist some months ago
in regard, among other things, to the
great nuisance of allowing cows and
horses to roam at large over our beau
tiful city, to the detriment of our side
walks and pavements, to our green
swards, and to the shrubbery in the
beautiful flower gardens of our citizens,
the vegetable gardens, etc., and also to
the great danger of women and little
children being gored by animals
or run over and trampled upon. The
writer of the former communication
called the attention of the City Fa
thers to the evils mentioned, with the
hope that they would see the proprie
ty of taking some action in the prem
ises. But the City Fathers have, as
yet, taken no action in regard to the
matter, and the great annoyance to all
of our citizens is still allowed to go on
without any abatement. But that
there should be something done by the
city authorities towards protecting the
property of those who have taxes to
pay from cows, horses, etc., as above
mentioned, will not he doubted by a
single citizen of Augusta. It is a uni
versal nuisance, and why is it not
stopped ?
The humble writer of this happened
to be one of those who suffered con
siderable damage a few nights since by
one of the above mentioned quadru
peds making a raid, in the still hours
of night, upon his premises, completely
demolishing choice fruit trees shrub
bery and vegetables—making a clean
sweep and utter ruin of everything of
that description on the place. I would
not have taken §IOO for the fruit trees
alone ; they are not worth much now,
however. It may be said to be negli
gence in this instance on my part. The
gate was fastened on the inside by a
hasp with a padlock through the sta
ple, besides having a heavy swing
weight attached. That cow seemed to
be an expert, for, finding the gate
fastened, she shook it until the lock
fell cut, and then pulled the gate open
with her horns and walked in. I merely
mention this as an illustration of the
assertion that it is a common nuisance
and should be stopped. Let Augusta
do as nearly every city of any promi
nence does do—erect a pound for the
incarceration of all loose horses and
cattle found in the streets, and let the
owners come and take them out after
paying a stipulated fine—making a nice
little revenue for the city and an abate
ment of the nuisance.
Tax Payer.
A Pressing Inquiry.
Mr. Editor: I would like to know
where your State Treasurer is, and am
still more anxious to hear what has be
come of your correspondent, Thos. L.
Snead, for he has not been seen in Wall
street lately, hence I have been watch
ing for him to turn up in Georgia,
either in the city of Atlanta or the
columns of the Augusta Constitutional
list, but as he has been extensively en
gaged in the commission business in
New York perhaps he has not yet had
time to strike off a balance sheet to the
entire satisfaction of his silent part
ner, or it may be he thinks he has al
ready said too much about that snug
little affair of two per cent., and if
"Justice,” or any one elso could draw
him out on the higher figures, his
response might be like the Irishman’s,
who was a candidate for a public office
in the State of lowa, when called ppou
to define his position before his con
stituents, his reply was: “I’m not much
for stump speakin’, but for honesty
and capacity and integrity I bate the
divil.” It is generally supposed in this
quarter that Thos. L. Snead and his
associates stand head and shoulders
above the Irishman in these particu
lars. Where is he and his correspon
dent in the department ?

F. R. Huger, Agent,
Senator Jones to Build an Ice Factory
in Augusta.
(Atlanta Herald.)
We are informed by Col. G. W. Adair
that he sold on yesterday, to Senator
Jones, of Nevada' the lot of land lying
just next to the agricultural warehouse
of Mark W. Johnson & Cos. The trade
was closed by telegraph, but was
speedily ratified by Mr. Brown, the
agent of Senator Jones, who arrived
with the cash. Immediately upon Mr.
Brown’s arrival, he produced plans*for
an extensive building which will cost
not less than twelve thousand dollars,
on which he asked bids at once. It is
the design of Senator Jones to put up
an ice factory. Anew process of
making ice has just been discovered in
California, of which process Senator
Jones has full control. He has de
termined to do a large part ol the ice
business of the South for the present
summer.
He has already built factories at
Galveston, Mobile, New Orleans and
Nashville, and proposes to go from
Atlanta to Augusta, Savannah and
Charleston, and erect factories there.
The bids for the factory here are in the
hands of our contractors, and the con
tract will be awarded this morning.
We shall give the details of the new
process in a day or two.

Unwholesome Food.—By the un
natural combination of different arti
cles by ignorant persons for baking
powders, (even if articles are pure)
they render the food very indigestible,
as the chemical action, when they .enter
the stomach, prevents their being di
gested. Of these mixtures it requires
but a small quantity to make food very
unwholesome. Dr. Price’s Cream
Baking Powder is the only powder pre
pared by the application of scientific
principles, combining all the elements
of a perfect powder, thus making it
safe, economical, and nutritious, and
only to be equalled in purity and
strength by his True Flavoring Ex

Failure of Georgia Produce Houses.
[Atlanta Herald.]
A prominent produce dealer of the West
informs us that not a dollar remains past
due and unpaid by Atlanta to the grocers
and provision dealers of the West and
North, while there have been failures in
Augusta amounting t 0... $75,000
Macon 100,000
Savannah 75,000
Columbus 40,000
Montgomery 50,000
Selma 20,000
Eufaula . 75,000
Besides the above, several of these cities
have a large suspended amount still due,
Eart of whicL will never bo paid. Atlanta
as three times many’ produce dealers
as Augusta, three tTries as many as Mont
gomery, four times as many as Eufaula,
four times as many’ as Macon, twice as
many as Savannah, three times as
many’as Columbus, four times as many
as Selma. Trie losses alluded to in t hese
cities are by produce dealers and grocers
only. In all these cit os large amounts
were lost on cotton, and not a dollar in At
lanta. Now, if the above statement is cor
rect, and we have no reason 1 1 doubt it, as
it was furnished by an experienced mer
chant and largo Western dealer in produce,
we submit that it makes a handsome
showing for Atlanta. One of the chief rea
sons fi r Atlanta’s commercial prosperity
is, that her merchants believe in short
Eroflts and quick returns, and business
ere is confined more nearly to a cash basis
than any where else in the South.
The Failures of the First Quarter,
[Atlanta Constitution.]
The quarterly statement issued from the
office of Dun & Cos. shows that the numbed
ot failures in the States, during the first
three months of the current y r ear, was
1,734, and the amount of their'liabilities
$8 •*,873,000. Owing to the absence of quar
terly returns heretofore, it is impossible to
accurately compare these results with
those of corresponding periods in other
years; but by dividing tho numbers for the
entire twelve months, we can approxi
mately institute comparisons. Bv this
method we ascertain that the number of
failures during the last quarter exceeds
thoso of the last three corresponding
quarters from three to seven hundred. The
first quarter of 1874 produced 1,457 failures.
But we find that the past quarter does not
disclose a greater aggregate of liabilities
than the average of its three predecessors.
The liabilities of the failures in the first
quarters of 1874 and 1875 are, in fact, almost
identical, showing a difference of less than
$70,000 in totals that reach thirty-eight
millions.
Georgia is credited w ith 40 failures, lia
bilities $1,037,000; Alabama with 15 failuies,
liabilities, $366,000; and South Carolina with
61 failures, liabilities9B9,236. New York leads
the list with 849 failures, liabilities about
eleven million. Pennsylvania and Mas
sachusetts come in succession; and at the
desirable end we find Arkansas, that has
only two failures marked and awn against her
name, and their liabilities were only $27,-
000.
There is nothing in these figures to alarm
the most nervous. Some of them are lin
gering wrecks of the panic, and very few of
the rest are chargeable to the depression
which prevails. Undue competition and
over production are more disastrous than
the hard times we are experiencing. A
gradual thought slow recovery of activity
in nearly every branch of business as noti*
c lable; and the belief everywhere prevails
that it indicates a return iri good season to
a healthier condition of affairs than the
country has known since th* war.

ANALYSIS
OF THE
LAGER BEER
FROM
E. ANHEUSER & CO.,
IN ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI:
U. 8. NAVAL LABORATORY, I
New York, September, 1874. j
The “ST. LOUIS LAGER BEER” of E.
Anheuser <fe CO., at St. Louis, Mo., having
been analysed, gave the following results:
Specifie Gravity 1.02 per cent.
Extracted Matter. 7.32
Carbonic Acid 0.16 “
Alcohol .4.89 “
Ashes 0.24 “
From these figures it will be readily seen
that the “St. Louis Lager Beer” proves a
heavier specific weight than all other beer
now manufactured in our market; its sub
stance of carbonic acid is superior even to
the Scotch Ale, Salvator Beer, Braun
schweiger Mumme and Munchener Lager
Beer • its substance of alcohol comes near
the “Munchener Hofbrau,” and its extract
substance proves to be between tho “Zachorl
Doppelbier” and the ‘■Salvator Beer.’’
conclusions from the analysis of the
QUALITY:
The quality of this Beer, as shown by our
analysis, is superior by its pureness, as no
extraneous matter could be detected. The
large amount of extract substance tmalt be
ing used in extraordinary great quantities,
which, having boen roasted, gives the beer
that peculiar flavor of fresh bread) makes
this beer a very nourishing and highly re
commendable drink for medicinal purposos.
Another good quality of this beer is that it
keeps in good condition under all circum
stances. W. C. CONRaD,
