CITY TOPICS.
Let us have another boat race, by
way of variety.
Our Aiken, S. C., friends are to have
a moonlight picnic next.
By what method are divorces offsett?
By the tie-back, of course. Next.
The matrimonial market is dull and
nominal. Supply and demand equal
and neither buoyant.
Mr. Schneider received a large turtle
weighing 187 pounds from Florida yes
terday.
Steamer Bosa landed at the wharf,
at the foot of the lower bridge, yester
day morning. She leaves for Savan
nah this a. m.
The Medical College building is be
ing benefitted with a brown colored
coat of plaster, and will shortly present
a handsome appearance.
Borne wants to pay only fifty cents
on the dollar on her bonds, and with
refreshing coolness adds, “ that is bet
ter than none,” and thinks the Augus
ta bond-holders too clamorous.
Oue hundred and seventy-one thou
sand dollars worth of the Augusta
Factory bonds have been sold at par,
leaving a balance of 829,000 to be dis
posed of. They are in demand.
The average Augusta mosquito
weighs less than a pouud. One man is
the greatest abundance for supper for
half a dozen of them. They are greedy,
however. Tney make toothpicks with
your boues, and if your hair is auburn,
they weave it into the latest style of
ladies’ silk clocks.
The New York Herald says Booth has
nearly recovered, and as it is not his
sword arm th*it was injured, he will be
himself again shortly and will be able
to fulfill his Southeru tour engagement
with manager Ford. So we will see
Hamlet’s ghost yet.
A couple of the members of the Bifle
Club, of Team No. 3, made the bulls
eye wink yesterday at a distance of 300
yarils. Any information concerning the
whereabouts of the bullets tired from
their guus at the distance of 500 yards
at the target will be thankfully receiv
ed, as they want the lead. The walls
of the powder mill fail to record the
whereabouts of the last.
Our regular weekly market review
and reports are very complete and con
tain full and correct quotations. Trade
was rather dull this week, but it is
bound to brighten up in a few days.
Cotton picking will be general by the
10th or 15th of September, when all
branches of business and trade will be
good.
That ill feeling did exist between the
Clinch Rifles and Company B is a fact
that cannot be disputed, but such can
not exist long between gentlemen, oc
casioned by a little rivalry, and as a
natural consequence the two companies
are now very harmonious, and we hope
will remain so.
It is currently rumored that the
spirit of Captain Burns has traversed
the realms of space and flown (we hope)
to a better world. That last Waynes
boro affair, or negro insurrection was
too much for him. He couldn’t stand
the pressure. It is not recorded who
his heir is.
For the benefit of all concerned, we
will state that the fighting editor so
sojourns in Kamschatka. We will take
great pleasure in forwarding all com
munications intended for him, and we
would add that no one around these
quarters ever interferes with his busi
ness.
Merchants, look out for counterfeit
bills of the denomination of 820 on the
Merchants’ Bank of New York, sup
posed to be in circulation in this sec
tion of the country. The signatures of
the Treasurer of the United States and
of the Register of the Treasury are
said to be genuine, but those of the
bank officers are forgeries. The Her
ald says they are iu circulation in At
lanta.
Escape of a Convict.
Daniel Desmond, a convict who has
been working at Hallahan’s, escaped
yesterday, and he so far has failed to
give his address, which the police are
anxious to know. Desmond was sent
up for twelve months at the last term
of the Superior Court for shooting at a
fellow citizen with barbarous intentions.
He didn’t shoot with barbarous inten
tions but with a pistol, the same being
actuated by barbarous intentions This
explanation is necessary, for smart

Eureka.— California Water, for the
The Army of Drummers.
Augusta, Ga., August 27, 1875.
Editor Constitutionalist : — A com
munication appeared in this day’s
Chronicle, and Sentinel, signed “Mer
chant and Manufacturer,” requesting
the attention of our City Fathers to
the fact of the city ordinance affecting
drummers.
In repiy to “Merchant and Manufac
turer,” I believe that any merchant has
the right to demand of a drummer his
license, if he suspects that he is selling
without oue. It is not, however, to be
expected that when merchants and pri
vate citizens, after having paid all
taxes, are expected to act as private
detectives.
In all cities wore any tax is imposed
on travelling salesmen, it is the duty of
the police to see that this part of the
city ordinance is carried out, aud in
Savannah, Charleston, Bichmond and
other cities were this ordinance is en
forced, a considerable increase to the
city treasury has been made.
Drummers among themselves laugh
how they can come to Augusta, stay
two and three days, sell, aud iu some
cases it would be better to say peddle
goods, and depart withont adding one
cent to the treasury of the city, aud
yet we are constantly hearing the cry
from the Mayor down, “The city wants
money.”
Why then this supinenes3 on the
part of our city officials ? Is there to
be no protection for the taxpayer?
Drummers are now on hand, and for
the next three months their numbers
will be legion. Let it no more be said
they can come and go and be exempt
from taxation. Merchant.
Personal.
We had the pleasure of a visit yes
terday from Mr. George W. Norman,
traveling agent and correspondent of
the New Orleans Morning Star aud
Catholic Messenger. Mr. Norman speaks
to the public this morning through our
advertising columns. He will call on
our citizens in the interests of his pa
per. He is a very agreeable gentleman
and a good representative of his paper,
which is a very tine one, edited by
Father liyan.
Maj. H. J. Jones, of the Macon Tele
graph, passed through the city yester
day en route home, looking as childlike
and bland as though he had just step
ped into life, and as hale aud hearty as
ever.
Where is the sentiment of the great
moral engines now? The Cincinnati
Enquirer says : “A refreshing revival
season; three murderers amble airily
away ou their auriculars and the St.
Louis Republican endeavors to rebuke
it by an allusion to “Mr. Gabriel’s un
rivaled solo on the trombone.” Tal
rnage and his deacons are sadly needed
in the West.

doubted if there was ever a medicine
iu substantiation of whose merits such
a mass of unsolicited testimony has ac
cumulated. An examination of this
testimony establishes a fact of the last
importance to the sick and debilitated,
as well as those who are exposed to
unfavorable influence of climate
namely, that the Bitters are an un
equalled tonic, and active an thorough
specific for every disorder of the di
gestive, biliary and execretory organs,
a reliable means of regulating the dis
charge of the most important func
tioDs of the body, and a supreme pro
tective against intermittent and remit

which malaria gives birth.

FINANCE AND TRADE.
WEEKLY REVIEW OF THE AU
GUSTA MARKETS.
Constitutionalist Office, [
6 o’clock P. M., August 27, 1875. 1
Remarks.
The general alarm all over the country in
regard to the crops has had a very
had effect on trade, which this week,
was no better in general, and scarcely
as good as that of last week. As the Financial
Chronicle says financial stagnation is the
most serious symptom of the existing ease
of the money market. There is an abun
dance of idle capital. The stagnation of
the monetary situation is not caused by
any lack of loanable funds. It takes its ori
gin from the activity with which the pro
duction powers of modern society operate
to increase material wealth, but these very
operative powers are what now so much
tetod to maae the market stagnant. An
abundance of idle capital, with a dull sea
son and a general stampede among far
mers, all create the plethora, not only in
the money market but in all other markets.
The avenues for the employment of capital
have been closed or nearly so, for quite a
while. How long this will continue with
other causes mentioned it is impossible to
foresee, not until the cotton season is fully
opened, at least, will there be much of a
change.
The general uneasiness in regard to the
crop is subsiding, and although undoubt
edly the crop has been damaged, the yield
will be a very fair one iu this section, and
the damage need not in the least depress
tile markets or render trade so stagnant,
especially as there is an increase iu this
section of 17 per cent, in the acreage of
corn and 25 per cent, iu the acreage of other
grain, while there is a decrease of 5 per
cent, in the acreage of cotton This, of
course, applies to counties having direct
communication and trading with Augusta,
in other parts of the State there is a very
fair average crop. The flour market con
tinues to bo firm, notwithstanding reports
of large Western crops, probably owing to
the fact of a heavy expoLting season being
anticipated, and ttie high rates of freight
on wheat from the West, which gives our
home mills a good margin. The grain mar
ket is firm, with a tendency to advance,
.md corn is in fair demand, ihe prevailing
opinion still seems to be that a good por
tion of the crop has been destroyed,
which is ready not the case. Generally
speaking, corn is dull in all Western mar
kets. The meat market remains the same
as last week—firm, with a tendency to ad
vance, and the demand is fair, while the
supply is fully ample. There has been some
ittle activity in the market this week, and
quite a brisk trade was hone for two or
three days, but the general tone is quiet.
The provision market rules steady and
quiet, with no changes, and, in accord with
other markets, is stagnant. The dry goods
market, of course, is dull, as is always the
case between seasons. Merchants have
not laid in the Fall stocks yet, with one or
two exceptions, and there is a feeling of
uneasiness in regard to trade. Some mer
chants think there will be a brisk trade,
while others think it will be comparatively
light. Most of them •will lay in light stocks
tor the present. Tone—very quiet and dull,
with quotations about the same.
Most of our merchants anticipate a light
Fall trade, but we think a fine Fall busi
ness may be expected, which wid give
buoyancy not to one maiket or trade alone
but’its results will be general, and will be
lelt alike by the merchant, manufacturer,
producer, the retail dealer, and the artisan.
If our expectations prove true, of course a
very healthy tone will be developed among
£.ll classes, and the lethargy aud continued
dullness of everything for the past few
years will be replaced by a refreshing ac
tivity in every line of business.
Financial.
This market has experienced the dullest
week it lias had for a number of years.
Nothing at all is doing with the exception
of sales of the new bonds of Augusta Cot
ton Factory. Total sold, $171,000 at par,
leaving undisposed of $29,000, and these will
probably be taken during the coming week.
