THE WEEKLY OOHS riTDTIOIIILIBT. WEDNESDAY MORNING. SEPT 15.1869 local department. Entitled to His Explanation. —ln our closing letter, reciting the “ development” o? the late Press Excursion, we gave to our readers a report of a couple of toasts pre sented by Mr. C. W. at the din . ner table at on the Selma,- Rome aa< * Chiton Riiilroad, one of which, and the most objectionable, was as follows: “Our model Governor and unprecedented Superintendent of the State Road.” In reply to our comments, we And in the Sumter Republican , of which friend Hancock is the senior 'editor, the following explana tion, which we present with pleasure, as confirming, in part at least, our expressed belie? that the above toast was entirely ironical: Much to Do about Nothing. —Tile able correspondent of the Augusta Constitu tionalist, who attended the Press Excursion, in his closing letter to that paper, devotes a paragraph to the senior editor of this paper, and seems to think that the two sentiments offered by us at the dinner given by Capt. Barney, at Patona, was done for the purpose of committing the Georgia Press to the administration, or in other words, as the writer says, “to harmonize the discordant social and political elements known to exist between the Executive of ■ Georgia and the Press of the State.” Nothing was farther from the thought, and such was not the intent. The seuti • ments to which allusion is made, and to | which'the writer objects, was nothing more i or less than a compliment we thought due < the two gentlemen whose guests we were, and was not intended to have any political Whatever. The same sentiments, but in stronger language and clothed in different words, was, with one -exception, adopted at the dinner given at the Na tional Hotel at Atlanta, at which our respected friend was present. Vide the entire first resolution, and the first clause of the second of the report of the commit tee. The writer does us injustice when he says that we (the senior) “ was obstrusive to contribute his (our) quota to the intel lectual entertainment.” It was our pur pose to have remained silent, and would have done so, had we not been called out. Neither were we at the time “ under the influence of frequent potations of some leveling and harmonizing beverage,” as our friend says. The sentiments were drank with “ pale ale,” nothing more or nothing less, and consequently could not have had neither a “ leveling” or “ harmonizing” effect. Other sentiments equally as com plimentary to the parties named were given by others, and no one considered that he was intruding upon the occasion, by offering them. All seemed to enjoy themselves as gentlemen do, and each con tributed his quota to have the occasion pass off (as that one did) pleasant and agreeable. As to tlje thoughts of our cotemporary■ in reference to the amount of “ compli ment” due the Executive, he has a perfect right to Ins views. We conceive that the plain signification of the toast proposing to mark him as a “ model Governor ”is well calculated to induce a spirit of in quiry and speculation among those who have heretofore known friend Hancock as a vigorous opponent of the present regime of State government, so.terlj^d 1 . We have not charged, nor did we believe that our cotempurify intended dns saitf should lie taken as an indication .of his po litical status, but even this charitable view cannot by possibility divest the terms wa ployed by him of the intimation, at least, that in the presence of the head engineer of the so-called State government, the wire edge of our friend’s former just opposition was rounded into a feeling of charitable toleration —not regarding Bullock , such a bad man after all, Thp chief Object of pur allusion to the matter was with a view to “ develop” the exact locality of our cotem porarv after the excitement and blustey of the somewhat bewildering effects of the ex cursion had subsided. We fully appreciate the dilemma in which our friend found himself on reflection, and understand very well the difficulty of a lucid explanation of the matter; but nevertheless believe that our contemporary carries his heart in the right place, aud that he will be found shoulder to shoulder with the most- valor ous Ift opposition to the corrupt purposes of the mongrel crew who rolled his toast under their tongues as a sweet morsel- a;id splendid development ”pf the ease with which the press es the State could be wail to an approval of their infamous cbfir.se. Possibly, the more successful plan for our contemporary to have' dismissed all doubts as to the honesty of his declaration that his e compliments ” were not designed to have a “ political bearing,” would hgve been to have refrained from any attempt to justify them by contrasting their im port with the resolutions adopted at the Atlanta dinner. No part of the resolutions propose to endorse Bullock as a “ model ” Governor, either directly or by construc tion. The first clause of the second reso lution, as we read and understand, simply expresses gratification that the Executi\ e had announced himself in accord with the efforts to develop the material resources of the country. As to the “ injustice" which our cotem porary says we done him, in charging that, he “ was obtrusive to contribute his quota to the intellectual entertainment,” we have a very distinct recollection that while Maj. C. H. Smith (BUI Arp) was addressing the assemblage, it was somewhat difficult to tell which done the most talking, the speak er in course, or our volunteer friend of the Republican. This point is doubtless well remembered by other gentlemen. If “other sentiments, equally compli mentary to the parties named, were given by others,” we did not hear them, and don’t think they came from “the Demo cratic side of the house." Cotton Facto#.— Col. M- P- Stovall gives notice to his old patrons and the planters generally that ha continues the offer of Ids servloes for the storags aud aals of cotton and other produna. ll* *lll make liberal rash advance* on produee In •Vvftn We Idtltv altvutlvu tv Id* (Mi Bcsnrese Iwiotdio.—We have noticed with sincere gratification, within the past few days, an evident improvement & the business activity of the cD- manifested by t le presence of an increased number of our count A friends with their wagons laden with the products of their farms aud plant ations. Our merchants are contemplating a Large trade the present season, and all 'along the business centres of Broad street our observation is arrested by the works of improvement and.retiovation in progress, In preparation for the accommodation of purchasers. Numbers of -storehouses which were unoccupied during the last business season have been engaged, and the mercantile business of Augusta, as indi cated in this favorable aqgury, promises to be adequate to the full satisfaction of all who may favor us with their patronage, no less from the high commercial integrity and fair dealing characteristic of our mer chants, than frpu} tjie varjed and extensive stocks from which purchasers will be en abled to make their selections, Aside from the occupation of every avail able storehouse on Broad street, the large and well known Warren Block, ,ou Jack son street, will, we learn,lie fully occupied during the present season. With this brief indication of what the commercial men of Augusta are doing, in providing for the .accommodation of their country cousins, we issue a general imi tation to all adjacent sections to forward their produce as rapidly as their interests aud convenience may justify, under the as surance that it can be sold to as great, if not greater advantage, in, this market,-than at any other accessible point, and ’that plantation and family supplies will be fur nished at - quite as short margins of profit as at any competing point. %Vg believe that -our merchants mean business, and that their efforts during the present season will accomplish important results In the advancement Os the general prosperity and commercial reputation of our city. A Man Killed in South Carolina.- - We are advised that on Tuesday last, a man named John Holley was fatally wounded near Aiken, S. C. The particu lars, as they reach us, are, that on Tuesday, the said John Holley and an employee named Malloy, had gone'to Aiken to pur chase supplies. After their purchases had been completed, Malqy deposited a bundle of goods in the cart , of Holley --to be transported to his home. The par ties left the town, as we understand, and when on the road Maloy requested Hol ley to'allow him to ride ip Ids cart- — Holley declined Ift consequence of the heavy road, which so ineepsed Malloy thnt he drew his pistol and fatally wound ed Holley, who was carried to his home, and has Malloy is remembered as a man of herculean proportions, who formerly was a dray driver in This city. At the time of the killing he was employed by his victim- The officers of the law frofti South Carolina were in the cityyc9ferday in pursuit of the murderer. Why is it Done ?—lt strikes us as sin gularly stupid- am} short-sighted that pig iron should form an article of import to Georgia, when there is such an abundance of ore scattered over- the Northwestern part of the State. 'On this point, the W! vannah Republican, of the 9th, says: “We noticed yesterday a considerable quantity of this article passing from the bay to the Central Railroad depot. It Is to be hoped this unnatural and ridiculous process of “ carrying coals to Newcastle ” will not lie much longer practiced. There is no denying the fact that with the ex penditure of a reasonable amount of en ergy, enterprise and capital, all the pig iron and all the iron of any other description required for consumption, - not only in Georgia, but in the entire South, may read ily be produced in the States of Georgia and Alabama, for about one-half the money now paid for bringing the article from the North and from Europe.” The Cotton Tax Unconstitutional.— A circular has been issued from a law firm in Washington that it is now certain that the Supreme Bench, with one exception, is of opinion that the cotton tax is unconsti tutional, A case is to be made, in Decem ber, and no doubt is entertained of the re sult. Such a decision will be worth fifteen millions of dollars to the planters and others in Georgia who have paid this tax. Editorial Accfessibir.—The lost issue, of the Rome Courier announces that If. W. Grady, so recently the sprightly ana talented “ King Hans ” of the Atlanta Coj'o stitutwn, has been associated in the edi torial conduct of that paper. -, With the vim, sprightliness and industry which attaches to Mr. Grady, we anticipate that his accession to the aid Os friend Dwinel will ere long work out a live daily in the beautiful mountain city of Rome. So mote it be. The Macon'and Brunswick Railroad. •—The Macon Telegraph sayg: f Tile-work on the Macon and Brunswick Railroad is progressing rapidly, and both cities will be soon connected by the iron track. We hear that many of our citizens contemplate a removal to Brunswick, hoping to advance their prospects in life by settling in a quite youug community. Though we are sorry to lose them, we wish them every possible success. May fortune reward their tolls ! The Bruuswlckians are very sanguine, and with their mind’s eyes already see the flags of all nations proudly floating In the morn ing breeze." The Commerce or Havannaii.—Bavau uaU commerce, says the News, Is rapidly Increasing, If we may Judge from Custom House return*.

Injunction Dissolved.— Judge Gibson. jestferdav, announced hts decision, dlsaolv. ing, ©ondittonajly, the on the Daily r>css establishment. We annex the decision: Beqjamin Conley, et. al, rs. E. 11. Pughe. Motion to dissolve injunction. I have been greatly aided In my decis ion of tills cause by the very able and learned manner in which the counsel, both for complainants and respondent, have con ducted the same; and to the reconcilement of Hie apparent conflict between the par ties, and ascertainment of the real equities and justice of the parties, I am greatly in debted to the able and accurate report of Col. A. C. Holt, the Master in Chancery. , That a partnership of some sort, and lor some purposes, existed between the com plainants and the respondent, I think there can be but little doubt. A joint use of individual property and mutual enjoy ment of its advantages and profits may constitute a partnership; written or parol contracts certainly will. If, then, a part nership did exist between coinplaiuauts and respondent, the law attaches thereto certain responsibilities and liabilities—one is-the liability of partnership assets to the payment of Its indebtedness, and an other is the right of either partner to have' an aceomiting and settlement with joint partners for moneys contributed or profits arising therefrom. I know of no principle of law that will exempt from liability to debts of a co-partnership (con tracted* for the advantage and interest of the same) the stock of said co-partnership,; aud moneys contributed by individual members stand upon the same ground of law and justice. The report of the Master in Chancery showing, then, that individual liabilities are outstanding and unpaid against said co-partnership, amounting-to five thousaud one hundred amt-seventy 89-100($5,170 39) dollars, and that assets amounting to over twenty thousand dollar* are now in the hands of respondent, which amount of in debtedness appears in exhibit “ I” of said report. It is ordered that said injunction be dissolved upon respondent's tiling with the Clerk of the Superior Court, or his de puty, bond with good and sufficient se curity to fully pay off and discharge said indebtedness, ana to relieve all of said complainants from the same and savetliem harmless therefrom. And it further appearing from said re port that several of said complainants have contributed moneys at several times to said partnership, It is further ordered, that said respondent do, before said injunction is dissolved, give bond in the nominal sum of five thousand dollars, to pay to said complainants whatever may be finally re covered against him in said cause, by rea son of said advances; or of profits arising from said co-partnership. 11l the present condition of this case, and from the full showing made in the Master's report of the standing of each of said par ties, and the condition of the copartner ship, I can particular necessity for requiring bonds.from, the complainants in this cause. ( Wm. Gibson, Judge. Meeting or Agricultural Society of Richmond County.— This Society convened at CHy Hall, half-past.l3 o’clock, yesterday, the President, Col. R. Y. Harris, iu the Chair, and W. C. Jones, Esq., officiating as Secretary. . There was but a small attendance of members, only some twelve or fifteen being present. The Secretary read the offer of premiums made by Mr. J. O. Mathewsog, to the planters of Georgia and South Carolina, through th# Society, for the best growth of cotton and corn on one acre ofrland, fertilized with Sol uble Pacific Guano, as follows: Ist premium for the greatest' growth of cottofi,xm#4cre —a silver pitcher, $75; 3d premium for the second greatest growth of cotton, one acre —a silver cup, SSO ; 3d premium Omfec third greatest growth of cotton, one acre— a silver cup, $35; Ist premium for the greatest growth of corn, one acre—a 9llver pitcher, SSO; 3d premium for the second greatest growth of corn, one acre—a silver cup, $35; 3d premium for the third great est growth of corn, one acre—a gold medal, $35. Mr. Matncwson desired that a committee should lie appointed to receive samples aud make the award. On motion of Dr. D. B.

B. Waiker, Chairman ; J. J. Cohen, S. D. Linton, A. R. Wright, J. G. Tucker, Goode Bryan, and Alfred Baker. On motion of Mr. S. D. Lititotq the Presi dent of the Society was authorized to fill any vacancies that might occur oil said committee. Mr. S. D. Linton proposed Mr. R. C. Easterling as a member of thi Club, who was admitted to membership ft>r the en suing year.. \ The President announced that being the annual meeting of the Club, the election of officers for the ensuing year was In outlet* fpi rc<Jdhat4# serviced as President of the* Club/ Ms name should not again be pat In nomination. The members of,the Club, hqwever, seem ed too well satisfied With CoL Harris as presiding officer to permit him to retire to the rank?* and wjtli one accord endorsed his nomination for. re-election to the iffio* of President. The Society proceeded to the election of officers, vim tot*} with tije follow lug result: President—R. Y. Harris. Vice-President —Henry--Moore. Secretary—W- O. Jones. Treasurer—John A. Bohler. Executive Committee—P. J. Berckmans, Chairman ; Goode Bryail, G. A. Oates, Al fred Baker, John B. Campbell, E. J. Dozier, and J. J. Cohen. The President brought to the notice of the members that the State Agricultural Society liad invited the appointment of delegates from county societies, to the State Fulr In November, but suggested that the appointment lie poatponed until the next ! regular meeting of the Club, by which time it could is- ascertained who would attend. On motion, th» appointment of delegate* to the State Fair was port ported to the J nc(t regular HX'ittriuluvdhjr MunwlM. To be Hung to the FfttsT ' * to ingress o t, 1 .District of i Carolina, had a valorous “talk” to the negroes of Edgefield, ou the 38th, in which lie declared a precious bit of advice to his hearers as to the treatment of Geor gians whose Inclinations or business might lead them to Carolina. Here is his words: “Aud one thing we advise the people to ao, without distinction of party, and that is. if any more of those border 'ruffians of Georgia eomo into this State to pifiage auq outrage peaceable citizens, catch them and hang them to the first pine limb you come to.” Our trieud of the Advertiser thus alludes to the startling proclamation of him whom we are told even his negro associates per sist in pronouncing a “Hog “ What upon earth does he mean ? Borne time ago our chivalrous brother of the GonsMutionalist promised to send us aid if we should need it; but we didn’t need iti and, therefore, he didn’t send it. Is that what Hoge means? This talk about ‘ border ruffians of Georgia ’ is quite anew thing. We have been thinking it was the bloody and barbarous people of KdgtfieU— ana they alone—who did all the mischief. Come; (his is g<)od—comfortable—merry! Misery loves company, and now that wa have the Georgia ruffians along with us, we shall have a better time. i “ Pity for us that we have not, from the beginning and all along, managed such gentlemen as Mr. Iloge as the Georgians have. In such a case we sliotild not now need the help of the 1 border ruffians.’ ” Should this hanging doctrine obtain, it will doubtless .be a merry time for Mr. Iloge. « % REASONS WIIT You should use TUTT’S IMPROVED LIQUID HAIR DYE: Because The Barbers say ft is the best.
