A Treat.
We are indebted to the managers of
tlie Festival now in progress at Rich
mond Hall, corner of Mclntosh and
Ellis streets, for a treat last night in the
shape of ice cream strawberries, &o.
This festival is held for the benefit of
the Richmond Guards (colored). It will
close to-night.
Excursion to Charles ton.
There is, it appears, the greatest
anxiety to visit the City by tho Sea,
and thus gaze upon the glorious ocean,
renewed Sumter and other honored
relics of the war. Whether this be the
cause of the great desire, or the cheap
ness of price for the round trip, or
both combined, certain it is that many
of our citizens will be disappointed on
next Saturday, unless they hurry to
secure the tickets which may remain
unsold at the different places indicated
last Sunday. Rev. Father Duffo has
uo more tickets for distribution.
An Interesting Lecture To-Night.
The Rev. Father Joseph Heiden
katnp, S. J., will deliver a lecture on
the Crusade at the Hall of the Catholic
Young Men’s Society, on Jackson
street to-night at 8 o’clock. The sub
ject is one of interest, being replete
with thrilling deeds of heroism, com
posed, as the Crusaders were, of the
flower of Europe’s chivalry, but in an
especial manner to the student of his
tory on account of their influence and
and effects on society and its civiliza
tion. This fact, taken into considera
tion with the acumen and recognized
erudition of the Reverend lecturer, will
insure a crowded house and rare treat
to those in attendance.
Fire.
About one o’clock this morning. Big
Steve sounded an alarm of Are for the
Seventh District, when it was discovered
that a one-story tenement house, at
the upper end of Ellis si reet was on Are.
The fire originated in the kitchen of
the upper part of the tenement, and
when first discovered by the inmates a
blaze was seen issuing from the roof.
It is not known what started to blaze.
The kitchen was entirely consumed
and the dwelling burned so much that
it is worthless. The Are companies
were on the spot as promptly as possi
ble, but could not do more than extin
guish the flames on the burning house,
which was then almost destroyed.
The upper tenement was occupied by
Mr. H. A. Latmer and the lower tene
ment by Mrs. Wingard. Both families
succeeded in saving their furniture and
bedding, but all articles in the kitchen
and in the attic of the house were de
stroyed. The property was owned by
Mr. W. W. Barron. We could not learn
whether it was insured. The house
was situated on the south side of Ellis
street, above McKinnie.
3:30, a. m.—As we go to press anoth
er alarm is given for the 7th district.
Marriage at St. James M. E. Church.
Yesterday evening, at half-past six
o’clock, Mr. W. F. Parks and Miss Jen
nie C. Simmons, of this city, were uni
ted in the holy bonds of wedlock by
Rev. H. H. Parks, father of the groom.
They were attended by four couples,
viz:
J. H. H. Parks and Miss Nettle Sim
mons; li. C. Heggie and Miss Sadie
Burge, of Oxford, Ga.; Frank Simmons
and Miss Lillie Roberts; Henry Reaney
and Miss Lula Simmons.
The church was crowded to over
flowing with the friends of the couple,
Georgia Fire Company being repre
sented by its members in a body to
witness the ceremony.’ Tho altar w:s
beautifully decked with flowers, and
garlands were hung in festoons on the
wall. Facing the centre aisle was an
arch of flowers, under which the happy
couple pledged “each to the other” their
troth. The ceremony was very im
pressive, the deep tones of the minis
ter’s (and father’s) voice going into the
hearts of all present. Leaving the
church, the party repaired to the house
of the’bride’s father, Mr. J. S. Sim
mons where the attendants and imme
diate’relatives and friends congratu
lated Mr. and Mrs. Parks They left
last night by the Georgia Railroad, at
half-past eight o’clock, for a short bri
dal trip. Our best wishes go with
them, and may God’s choicest blessings
attend them through life.
CELEBRATING THE ADOPTION OF
THE XVtil AMENDMENT.
Grand Parade of Colored Military
Companies—Address by Rev. 11. M.
Turner-Drilling of the Companies—
A Supper Last Night,—Pic-Nic To-
Day,
Yesterday proved to boa gala day
with the colored military companies,
and in fact the colored people generally
of Augusta, it being the occasion of
the third annual celebration in com
memoration of the adoptiou of the
XVtli Amendment to the Constitution
of tho United States, which gave the
rights of citizenship to the colored peo
ple of this country.
As stated in the Constitutionalist
yesterday morning, a colored military
company from Savannah arrived Tues
day afternoon ou a special train via the
Port Royal Railroad, in company with
a largo number of excursionists, be
sides a brass band, a field band and a
string band.
The Programme
fop the celebration was—first, a parade
through Broad street to the Parade
Ground; second, an address at the lat
ter place (where a platform was erect
ed in the grove in the centre) by Rev.
Henry M. Turner (colored), of Savan
nah; third, a drill of the military com
panies on the Parade Ground; and
fourth, a supper tendered to the visit
ing company and invited guests by the
Augusta colored companies, at the
large drill room of the Oglethorpe In
fantry on Reynolds street, the use of
which had been kindly accorded by
that organization in response to a re
quest made for it.
Tho colored companies met by 10
o’clock a. m. at their respective hails,
and each, preceded by a band, pro
ceeded to the rendezvous appointed.
Capt. T. P. Beaird, of the Douglass In
fantry, being senior captain, was se
lected to take command of the whole,
and Lieut. J. L. Mitchell to act as Ad
jutant.
The companies were formed in bat
talion on the green sward on Broad
street, between Marbury and McKinnie
streets, about 11 a. m., and the proces

The Line of March
was down Broad street to Elbert,
thence to the Parade Ground, where a
very large crowd soon collected around
the stand erected in the grove in the
centre. The battalion was formed on
the north side in line facing south.
Prayer'
was then offered to the Throne of
Grace by C. L. Delmnotta, of Savan
nah, in which he returned thanks for
the many privileges vouchsafed to
them, and invoked blessings upon the
National Government, the President
and his Cabinet, upon the Governor of
the State and his attendant officers,
and also upon the Chief Magistrate and
government of this city and the poople
thereof.
Address of Rev. H. M. Turner.
After prayer Rev. Wm. J. White, of
this city, introduced Rev. H. M. Turner,
L. L. D., of Savannah, who delivered an
interesting address to the large num
ber of colored people present.
After preliminary remarks, he went
on to say that most momentous ques
tions were now agitating this country.
They were all present on this occasion
to return thanks for an honor, a great
boon conferred upon them, and his race
should feel a sense of gratitude that
could not be expressed in words. Three
years ago the crowning boon of Ameri
can liberty was enacted by a great na
tion that gave indiscriminate suffrage
to every one of sound mind and proper
age.
It was needless to speak of the his
tory of this couutry, or revert to the
late war. He (the speaker) was dis
posed to let the past go. He was not
disposed to stir up the smouldering
embers—to rake up in remembrance the
horrors of slavery. Thank God! the
past is behind us, the present is with
us, the future is before us.
He was anxious to see the past
buried, and only wished all American
citizens could come up to the standard
of equality, knowing no distinction be
tween men. We wish our white friends
could throw overboard every distinc
tion and know every one as a man
knowing no distinction In the courts,
the press or anywhere publicly. Thank
God ! a good time is coming. He was
happy, indeed, to see that the press of
Augusta had spoken in such a fair
manner of the arrival of tho Savannah
company, of which ho was a member,
and of the colored people generally.
There was no tirade against them, no
scurrilous epithets used. The press
had given an account of their arrival
in such an honorable light that no sane
man, no reasonable man, had any rea
son to object to it. Ho was only sorry
that the press of his city (Savannah)
did not accord such acourtesy so fully
upon the occasion of the visit of the
Douglass Infantry to that city. How
ever, their reception here Is but another
evidence of a better day dawning. In
behalf of his Savannah fellow-men he
expressed profound gratitude for their
reception. They would return home to
tell the news that the day most memo
rable in their lives was the one they
were now spending in Augusta.
But to the point. We are here to
commemorate the passage of the XVth
Amendment, which gave us the right
to help man the ship of a mighty na
tion. It is a day that will ever be
memorable in our history. While we
now grow julilant the day is not far
distant when the whole nation will help
us to make it ever memorable of Ame
rica’s grand achievements.
Greut men have lived and passed
from the stage of action. This coun
try has had her Webster, her Calhoun,
her Edward Everett, her Washington
Irving—in fact, her poets, novelists,
journalists, statesmen, inventors —
all that would tend to uplift her
to a high pinaele, but, withal, there
was a rotten plank in this platform—
there was rotten lumber in it.
There is no man in any nation of
such importance su* the man who tills
the soil. [A voice—“ Right.”] Doctors
of Divinity, Governors, all of high re
nown, have to come down to the farm
er for something to eat. The negro
built up the South. Their muscles
helped to bring out the soil and pre
pare it for cultivation ; they, too, pio
neered tho industrial interests of the
North. They dug up stumps and clear
ed the ground. [A voice—“l done it.”]
While the white man first came with
his gun and drove the Indian to the
Western wilds, tho negro came after
him with his plow and hoc and tilled
the soil, from whence came the food;
and yet the negro was denied the right
to say who should represent him in
the Councils of the State and Nation.
But God, some years ago, put in mo
tion some measures tha~ u , as they pro
gressed, seemed to move in opposite
directions, oftentimes apparently op
posing each other. Yet the great ma
chine, the main power, moved steadily
forward. The great discussions of the
past—tho agitation of the slavery
question, the Missouri compromise,
Mason and Dixon’s line, and many
others—were all elements in the seeth
ing caldron to raise our country to a
higher distinction. He illustrated this
point by describing the manufacture of
beer. When all the ingrodients were
put in fermentation went on, and when
that ceased the beer Was ready to drink.
Just so it was with slavery. When
tho fermentation ceased, after the vari
ous means had been carried out, the
end camo and the slave was free—the
beer ready for use. That was why, the
speaker said, that he felt so charitable
toward the men who fought so hard to
koepthe fetters upon him. Why, lam
even thankful to Jefferson Davis, the
great leader of the rebellion, for not
accepting the offer of President Lin
coln, to pardon all If they would lay
down their arms in 100 days. God
wouldn’t let him lay down Lis arms.
They were all instruments in the hands
of God.
Had there not been so many unjust
judges on the bench in the South,
whose rulings were out of reason, after
the passage of the XVth amendment,
there wouldn’t have been so much fuss
over the Civil Rights bill. [Voices,
“Not a bit of it.”] I have read and
read that bill, and the more I read it
the more I become disgusted with it.
It gives nothing whatever but what was
guaranteed to the colored man before.
In fact, it does them injury. There
are too many petty judges to give
some decision ou some point, so that
it can be heralded to tho country
through the papers, and they thus
have their names brought before the
public, some cases being made so that
some timber-headed judge can have
his name telegraphed to the press as
deciding so-and-so in the Civil Rights
Bill. [Laughter.]
Who first moved to give the colored
man equal rights V Cbas. Sumner—that
precious name ! Would that I had the
pencil of a Raphael, that I might make
his portrait and encircle it with dia
monds and rubies and the most precious
stones. He knew the abomination of
the courts and he originated the Civil
Rights Bill. Had that bill passed as
ho proposed it, there would have been
no trouble. Seeing the perfldity, per
jury, that would attend the XVth
Amendment, he gave us the form of a
Civil Rights Bill, and if it had been
enacted our country would have been
happy ; tho Democratic party would
have had no negro plank in their
platform in their last campaign. Be
fore tho last campaign it would have
swept from American polities every
thing that smacked of the negro,
while new isfues would have come for
ward.
Sumner did not advocate social
equality that I know of. That has
been tho great bugbear, somebody
always being fearful that a black negro
would want a white wife. If they had
only known what a flower-garden we
have to pick our wives from, they
would’nt have boeu so agitated about
the matter. We can get wives, black
or yellow, with blue eyes or black,
straight hair or crooked. Our girls are
so handsome to us that we can hardly
keep stray sheep from jumping over
the fence. [Laughter.] But to return
again. I am not advocating any princi
ple, I am only reviewing the past. Sum
ner’s bill gave absolute equality before
the law. God gives it and—if you will
allow me to say It, the Devil gives it.
There is equality in the grave. There
is equality in the apothecary’s shop,
and pills act alike on all. There is the
same number of bones in the colored man
that there is in the white which I know
to be a fact, haviug often counted them
while a student in a Medical College ;
all speak the same, if born in the same
country, and all go to the same heaven
and the same hell. Justice must hold
her sturdy scales with eyes bandaged
and accord just dues to black as well
as white.
Had we been guaranteed all the rights
embodied in the Sumner bill there
wouldn’t have been so much fuss in the
last campaign. We have a bright
future, however, before us. I stand
here in behalf of the colored people to
bury the past never again to resurrect
it. If such a bill as that mentioned
could become a law. and both parties
accept it, I would promise never to
enter politics again but devote the bal
ance of ray life to preaching. Other
wise I would take the stump, and if the
sword Is drawn to infringe or invade
tho rights of my race, I will, too, draw
the sword and defend them to the last.
[Applause.]
I don’t know how you are, but I am
proud I am a negro. I take pride In
saying It. If we had the power over
the whites, and used It to their injury,
and they did not resent it, they did not
deserve to bo men. I honor a brave
man. If a man docs not defend his
v*ife, his family, his rights, let him pull
off a man’s clothes and put on a mule
skin. . #
This is a happy day for tho colored
people—a grand day. All are dressed
in their best; all are well, I suppose, as
the sick would stay at home; but
there’s death in the pot yet. We have
been free ten years, aud have made
seine progress in life; but we are la
mentably deficient yet. Look at our
pulpits f nave we educated preachers?
What do we listen to in our churches?
Bad grammar, bad theology if any at
all, and we see other defects. How
many preachers go to the Sunday School
and endeavor to mould the minds of
the children? Some do it, but many do
not because they cannot. It is for tho
youug men to rise up now. You must
educate your heads. You might listen
to an ignorant preaehor fifty years and
never learn anything. ReLigion doesn’t
teach a man how to read ; it doesn’t
make him learned; It doesn’t teach
theology. A man who cannot read the
Scriptures in tho Greek cannot be a
preacher in the true sense. He may
carry people to heaven, but he is no
preacher. Look at Dr. Adam Clark, a
most learned man ; but yet he said
when he came to die that he felt that
lie hadn’t touched the outer edge of
God’s word. How can an ignorant man
lead an ignorant people up to great
ness? lam not here to arraign our
forefathers ; they were raised in
slavery ; I do not find fault with them;
but I do find fault with the young men
now coming on the stage of action, who
are passing their time in frivolous
amusement —laughiug, talking and
wasting their valuable time. I often
think of the young colored men of
Georgia. How many are moulding them
selves for future good? Where are
colorod lawyers, and where our colored
jurors, except in two or throe coun
ties ? How many are preparing to
study medicine, for the colored people
get sick as well as the whites ? The
young men do not endeavor to advance
themselves. They should have pride.
Some great man has said the negro is
peculiarly fitted for tho profession of
medicine. Why, we had colored doc
tors in the days of slavery, even if they
did practice “swingling ”; [a kind of
quackery, we believe— Ed.] even if they
did use snake skin and toads, and tell
you that you had a snake in your
stomach aud other outlandish things.
Why can we not make newspapers for
tho white men aud ladies, as they
make them for us to read? In the
whole of the great State of Georgia the
colored people have not a single news
paper. [A voice—“ That’s so! ”] Laws
cannot compel one man to respect an
other. The Congress of the United
States might pass a law requiring me
to respect a man, and President Grant
might order it done, but I could uot
respect him unless he deserved it. If
we, as a race, want the civilized world
to respect us we must win that respect
by our genius.
lam not here to reflect upon our
forefathers. I am trying to stir the
souls of our young men. I say to you,
young men, unless yon preparo your
selves well for the life before you, our
race will become the hiss and by-word
of nations.
The country is gradually dropping
the negro. When I see a host of Re
publican papers—Now York Times,
Chicago Tribune and others —taking
the etand they do ; when I see Judge
Kelley, after a tour of the South, go
back home with head down and sore
eyes—a man who was one of our
champions, who was in Augusta and
laid more stress on the conversations
hef had with colored men here, I feel
that I speak the truth in saying the
country is dropping the negro. Some
time ago a man wanted mo to write for
him, offering me SIOO per month, but I
could not then accept. Lately I wroto
to him, askiug if he would accept
a series of articles, not potitical
in character, from me. The reply
received was to the effect that he
could not accept, as anything com
ing from a colored man would
not be popular. Wo haven’t a paper
in Georgia. The white paper’s can say
what they pleaso about us and we have
no means of resenting, or replying or
correcting misrepresentations. South
Carolina is ahead of us. It is my na
tive State, and I am proud of her. She
has colored legislators, colorod police
men and other officers, but whether
she Is doing anything for tho colored
race Ido not know. I would like to
have negro policemen in our cities to
arrest negroes as the whites have
white policemen. But if we had a
thousand policemen in Savannah, Ma
con, Augusta, Atlanta, that would
not be greatness. If I were Gov
ernor of Georgia it would be but a
temporary honor ; and if I were to
Issue a proclamation not couched in
grammatical language, I would be the
butt for ridicule of the whole country.
The colored people must cultivate
themselves. It has even been said
that we are not of the human family—
that we are descended from the mon
key or the baboon—that wo did
not come from the white race.
1 wish we had not come from Adam,
I wisli we were not in danger of Adam’s
hell. But what’s to become of us, who
are half white and half bla k ? Hang
us between heaven and hell I suppose,
1 don’t care where we come from, this
much Ido know, wo have sense, we
have oratory. There are men now be
fore me, who if they had cultivated
fheir oratory as I have cultivated mine
—would be far superior to me.
The speaker here gavo an amusing
description of his efforts at oratory in
preaching to an old cow. He said lie
was glad to see the colored peoplo com
bining together, aud complimented tho
military companies. He. advised them
to organize and send young men to
college. They had a society in suc
cessful operation in Savannah, the ob
ject of which was to send young men
to college to be educated—the mem
bers paying 10 cents per month. He
closed by saying in behalf of his Sa
vannah friends that they were grateful
; for their reception, and hoped they
j could reciprocate the courtesy extern!-
| etl to them at an early day. He was
cheered as he retired.
We have given but an outline of the
| address, touching ou the most, impor
; taut features. It was delivered in a
j confident, easy manner—the speaker
being apparently a well educated man
;of sense, with a good delivery. His
address was well received by the largo
throng present, all appearing deeply
interested. The speaker is a minister
of the colored Methodist Churea lo
cated iu Savannah.
A Few Remarks
were made by Rev. W. J. Wiiite, who
announced that the speaking having
closed tho military would engage iu
drilling for a short time. He spoke
briefly of the courtesy of the daily
press of Augusta to the colored people,
and also asked his hearers to remem
ber another thing; the military had
desired to spread a repast for their
visitors and guests, and haviug no hall
of their own large enough for the pur
pose, they applied to the white military
companies when the drill-room of the
Oglethorpe Infantry was cordially ten
dered to them. This, he said, fore
shadowed tho dawn of an era of good
feeling long-looked for and wished for.
Drill in
The various companies here engaged
in a drill for about an hour and a half,
each separately, and wore cheered as
they executed difficult maneovres.—
About five o’clock the battalion moved
out from the Parade Ground, through
Elbert street and *up Greene to Mar
bury, thence to the point on Broad
street from whence they started, where
it was dismissed. The companies then
proceeded to their respective halls and
broke ranks, the Forest City Light In
fantry returning to Douglass Hall.
The Bupper and a Presentation.
Last night a fine supper was pre
pared aud set at the large drill room
of the Oglethorpe Infantry, on Rey
nolds street. Several officers of the Au
gusta Volunteer Battalion and also or
the companies were present, with the
Mayor and two.or three members of
Council, by special invitation. After
supper Rev. 11. M. Turner made a
speech of some length, and then, in
behalf of the Forest City Light Infau
try, presented a large silver punch
bowl, gold-lined, to the Douglass In
fantry.
Tiie members of the different com
panies behaved throughout tho day
most admirably, aud the parade passed
off without tho least disturbance. We
did not see, either during the day or at
night, a single colored person under
the influence of liquor. This speaks
well for tho colored people.
To-Day
the companies will meot at the Bell
Tower on Greene street, iu front of
Douglass Hall, at 9 o’clock a. m., and
then proceed to Schultz’s Hill, where
they will enjoy a pic-nic.
Minor Notes.
Tie Georgia Infantry, Capt. W. H.
Miller, passing through Jackson street,
after the parade, halted and saluted
the Constitutionalist. We return
thanks to the company for the com
pliment.
The Forest City Ltght Infantry was
the only company having the device of
the eoat of arms of the State of Geor
gia on their hats. The captain said he
experienced groat pride as a native of
Georgia in thus having his company
show their appreciation of their State.
This company was organized April 2d,
1872, and seems to be composed of
worthy colored men. The flag of the
company is a large silk United States
“ Stars and Stripes.”
The Athens Cornet Band was on the
stand at the Parade Ground yesterday,
during the delivery of the address, and
discoursed fine music. •
The uniform of the Richmond Guards
closely resembles that of Oglethorpe
Infantry, Company A.
In tho match game of base ball be
tween the cojored c]ubs at tho Parade
Ground, the Nationals, of Augusta,
beat the Pacifies, of Savanualv* in a
score of 38 to 28. The latter, however,
played finely, and elicited praise from
the spectators. There whs a very large

Excursion to Savannah.
The congregation of St. Patrick’s
Roman Catholic Church announce this
morning an excursion to Savannah on
tiie 29th of this month. Tickets for
the round trip will be unusually low
priced. Savannah is, perhaps, the most
beautiful city In the South, and a visit
there at this season would prove a
great treat to all who can go. Tho ob
]ect of this excursion is to raise funds
for the building of a very substantial
school house on the lot now occupied
by the old church. This will be an or
nament to tho city, and add another
institution of learning to Augusta. We
dare say many of our citizens will avail
themselves of this opportunity to take
a little recreation and see the glorious
sights of the Forest City.
Colored Missionary Baptist Conven
tion.
We understand that it large delega
tion of colored ministers, of tho Baptist
Missionary Church of Georgia, passed
over the railroads yesterday on their
way to Washington, Wilkes county,
where they meet in State Convention
to-day, and continue until Monday.

Marriage of Miss Crisp.
The following item from an exchange
will prove of interest to many of our
city readers, who recollect the veteran
actor W. H. Crisp and his family :
Miss Cecelia Crisp (daughter of Capt.
W. 11. Crisp, tho veteran actor and
manager, now travelling in Missouri,)
was married on tho sth to Mr. Edwin
Stuart, juvenile man of tho company.
A large crowd v. as present to witness
tho ceremonies.
Concert of the Braham Musical Club.
Tiiis club (from Savannah), composed
of young colored men, gave a second
concert at Girardey’s Opera House last
night. The attendance was not largo,
probably because sufficient notice was
not given, but the members did well.
They sing finely, and with more expe
rience they will gain greater confidence
in themselves and render their beauti
ful songs with better effoct. We hope
they will succeed. The Savannah
News speaks well of them.

A Brain-Destroying Malady.— That
insomnia, or inability to sleep, has be
come very prevalent of late years, is
sufficiently evidenced by the fact that
numberless remedies have been intro
duced within the last decade specially
intended for its cure, and that new se
datives are continually cropping up.
But no medicinal agent has so widely
and clearly established its claims as a
genuine soporific as Hostetter’s Stom
ach Bitters. That it removes this brain
destroying inability far more effect
ually than the bromides, chlorals
and valerianates in use, is not to be
wondered at when we consider that
such drugs act only on the brain,
which is not tiie source of the evil,
while tiie Bitters rectify the alimentary
disturbances which originate it. It is
admitted by physicians that dyspepsia
and non-assimilation of the food pro
duce sleeplessness. The Bitters over
come tfieso obstacles to repose as well
as those urinary troubles which are
also said to interfere with it. A wine
glassful or two of this wholesome se
dative invigorant at bed time rarely falls
to produce tranquil repose,

Extract From the Pod.— -Dr. Price’s
Vanilla Flavor is extracted from the
Vanilla Pod, obtained from Mexico.
This popular flavor, as made by Dr.
Price, embodies all of the delicate aro
ma of this agreeable fruit, and is free
from the strong, rank taste of those ex
tracts in the market sold as Vanilla,
which are made from the cheap Tou
qua or Snuff Beau. If something pure
and nice is wanted to flavor cakes, pies
or pudding, get Dr. Price’s True Flav
oring Extracts, which are equal to his
noted Cream Baking Powder.
