w UNOIN & RECORDER. OUR AUGUSTA LETTER. Augusta, (jIa., April 30tli, 1880. Editors Union Recorder: Memorial Day dawned bright and beautiful on Augusta. “From early morn 'till close of day” men and wo men, boys and girls were to be seen wending their ways to the “City of the dead,” each bearing some floral tribute to place upon the grave of a Confederate soldier. The Monument on Broad St., and the Cenotaph on fire one were each decorated with lovely garlands—the work of woman's bands. At 4 p. m., the procession vvixs formed at the Bell Tower and shortly .after commenced the line of inarch through our principal streets ■to the Cemetery. The column was commanded by Col. J. D. Clarke, a •veteran of two wars. In line were i he Clinch Rifles, Clarke Light Infant ry, Academy Cadets, Confederate Survivors, and Richmond Hussars At the Cemetery a magnificent trib ute was paid to the Lost Cause by Mr. Pressley, in a most eloquent address. This gentleman is one of our most popular young lawyers. While the Hussars were passing > hrougli the main gate at the cemete ry, the horse of Mr. W. H. Holman reared up, and fell backward upon its rider. At the time it was thought that Mr. Holman was fatally injured, but it is now ascertained that he w r as only shocked by the fall. .1 irst as the procession was nearing the soldier’s section, a cyclonisli look ing cloud made its appearance, while gusts of wind blew the dust about in blinding volumns. For a time the mass of people were panic stricken, and scattered in every direction. But 1 he cloud soon disappeared, the wind soon ceased to blow, and order was restored. The only occurrence that seriously marred the sacredness of the day was the game of base ball played on the grounds of the Augusta Association, just opposite the cemetery. It is a shame that our association should so •far forget the memories of the past as to allow a noisy game of base ball to interrupt the solemn rites of a day so dear to every Southern heart. A few years ago public sentiment would not Lave permitted it. It is said that the address of Col Ohs. C. Jobes Jr. was one of the ablest ever delivered before the Confederate survivors by this brilliant orator. The trouble between the factory Presidents and the Knights of Labor - seems to he boiling down. May be ?j.fter all it was only “a tempest in a, tea-pot,” or, may be it is the calm that betokens the coming storm. We shall know what it all means in a few days. At any rate, the vast majority of our citizens condemn the course pursued by the Knights-especially the and taken by the Master Workman, case of violence just think of a minister of the gospel being the re cognized head of a mob. Let us hope, Snrwever, that our city will not be- •WMtie the scene of any such. Caster was celebrated with great rejoicing by our churches of all de- 'noiuiwations. At the First Baptist A'l.e children of the Sunday School de lighted the large audience at night with a. service of *on«. The program 'consisted of solos, quartettes, and singing by the choir. The solos of Miss Grove Denning and Mrs. Os- ii Robt. E. Pierce also declines to make the race. This leaves the field clear to Calvin, McCord, Fleming and La mar. The last named is a member of the law firm of Foster and Lamar, and has recently been prevailed upon by his friends to enter the race. Cal vin will lead the ticket, McCord will come next. The real fight will be be tween Fleming and Lamar with chan ces in favor of the former. Houghton. Among our Exchanges. GEORGE I. SENE7. Mr. George I. Seney, of New York recently came to Georgia to attend the wedding of a Georgia lassie, Miss Nellie Stovall, bringing his family with him. In Athens, in Macon, in Atlanta he received such a greeting as must have testified to him how warmly he is esteemed in this State. Mr. Julius L. Brown, with characteristic hospi tality, entertained him in the Gate City. To Mr. Seney is due much from Georgians. The railroad links in East Tennessee railroad system from Macon to Atlanta and Atlanta to Rome were the result of his enterprise. The enlargemant of Wesleyan Female College and the beautiful Seney- Stovall chapel for the Lucy Cobb Institute in Athens are fruits of his generosity. Thus millions of railway develop inent and great educational improve merits in two of our leading cities are the direct benefactions that this large hearted philanthropist has given to our State. He should be held in grateful esteem and remembrance by our people. Atlanta Capitol. Papers Edited With Saws. From the Alexandria (Va.)Gazette. The printers of Norfolk are waging war on what is technically termed “patent matter”—that is, matter set up in other places, stereotyped and sold in blocks at a low rate to other papers, the latter thereby saving the cost of type setting, proof-reading and clipping. Columns of this sort of matter are furnished at about one- tenth of what it would cost to set them up, numerous papers use it, only “setting up” two or three columns of local news in their respective offices. The compositors have long regarded this new enterprise as fatal to their interests, as publishers who use the patent matter can dispense with about three-fourths of their force. The Nor folk Typographical Union have there fore passed a law which provides that newspapers employing Union hands and using such plates shall pay the compositors the same per thousand ems for handling the plates as if they were set up in the office. A GOOD INVESTMENT. The Luck of Three Citizens Who In vested Two Dollars in The Louisiana State Lottery Drawing and Get Back $30,000. Dome were greatly enjoyed. Excel- Vxit Faster recitations were rendered J>v Master Lin Shecut, and little Ote- iia Denning. Miss Annie Capen pre sided at the organ. This lady is one of the finest performers in the South. Indeed, 1 doubt if any can surpass h er in tlie entire country. Under her -exquisite touch, the organ, the piano, -•aval other instruments of music seem things of life, animated by the spirit their fair performer. She is also '-mistress of song, and if so inclined ■eouki make her fortune on the stage. But thank God her sweet spirit of music and song is dedicated to the elevation of souls and the glory of the Most High. At the conclusion of the song ser vice a masterly address was deliverd by i)r. Lansing Burrows pastor of the .church on , ‘The Triumph of the Sa- tiavior." Dr. Burrows ranks with the ablest of pulpit orators. His sermons are perfect gems. His word paint ings are sublime. In fact this word expresses everything about this man ■of God. He is sublime in form—sub lime in character—sublime in all his utterances for Christ. In a few weeks" time the General Assembly of the Presbyterian church s, «uth will hold its annual session in Augusta. The ablest men of this great denomination will be in attend ance. and our churches will have the benefit of their wisdom and eloquence for a time, at least. Our city is clamorous for the State Democratic Convention. Atlanta has monopolized this body for years past, and 1 see no reason why other cities should not enjoy the presence of “the assembled wisdom of the party.” By all means let them come. The Public Schools of the county will all give holiday next week. This is done in order that the teachers may attend the State Association then to convene in Savannah, aud that the pupils [may have an opportunity of enjoying a week of picnics. The lat ter however, usually postpone their picnics until their teachers have re turned. St. John Methodist church was the auene of a happy event on yesterday morning, when a large number of friends gathered to witness the mar riage of Mr. A. F. Pendleton and Miss Agnes Walker. Mr.'.Pendleton is one of our largest book and stationery dealers. The bride has a wide circle of friends, and is greatly admired on account of her many excellent traits of character. Hon. J. C. C. Black left last night for Atlanta to deliver tne address at the unveiling of the Hill monument. Hon. C. A. Robbe has decided not to be a candidate for the Legislature as his private business demands liis en tire attention. The people regret los ing such an able and faitklul Repre sentative, and will, no doubt in the future call on him to serve them again. Yesterday at noon there entered the office of The Louisiana State Lottery ompany, on St. Charles street, Mr. Ernest Antz, of No. 321 Baronne street, and Mr. Thomas McMahon, grocer, at the corner of Baronne and iTelicity streets. Xlit) o\)jCCt Of visit, was to collect $15,000, or one- fifth of the first capital prize of $75- 000 in the drawing of last Tuesday. Mr. Antz presented a one-fifth ticket, No. 25,244, and received from the com pany a check on the New Orleans National Bank for $15,000. AVhile this check was being made out a rep resentative of the Picayune had a talk with the visitors. Their good luck did not appear to excite them in the least, and they spoke of the mat ter in a sensible manner. Mr. Mc Mahon has been keeping a grocery at the corner of Baronne and Felicity streets for 15 years or more. He has a family to support, aud business has been so dull lately that he was be coming financially involved. “This unexpected fortune,” he said, “will set me on my feet again, and enable me to straighteu out all my affairs satisfactorily.” Mr. Antz is a well- know and popular young man, an engraver by trade, and an expert in that line. He resides at No. 321 Bar onne street, with his mother and brother, Henry A. Antz. Last Mon day Mr. Antz purchased for $1 the one-fifth ticket, and Mr. McMahon took part of the ticket. Both had been in the habit, for years past, of investing in The Louisiana State Lot tery drawings. Mr. Antz had won small prizes on several occasions, but Mr. McMahon was not so lucky. He is. however, fully satisfied with the issue of the last drawing. These for tunate men will make good use of their money, and not fritter it away in dissipation; as they are steady and industrious citizens. Scarcely had Messrs. Antz and McMahon with drawn than in stepped Mr. John Daste, a saloon-keeper, at the corner of Clara and Calliope streets, who held another fifth of the capital prize, and was also paid the sum of $15,- 000.—New Orleans (La.) Picayune, April 15. The name of Dirt Town has been changed to Kan-tah, which is the Cherokee Indian of the old name. At Rome, two mustang ponies be longing to J. B. Perry, have recently died from eating musty hay, and J. F. Shanklin has lost a fine heifer from the same cause. The Sumter Republican of the 23d inst. publishes the valedictory of Col. C. W. Hancock, as editor. He founded the paper in 1854, and has for 32 years been its editor. The ladies of Atlanta are getting up a boycott against the merchants who will not allow the lady clerks to sit down when not working. They have had a meeting and disclosed the mat ter. Mr. J. T. Waterman, well known in Georgia journalism, has issued a pros pectus stating that he will shortly commence the publication of the Dai- Ig Shn at Griffin, Ga., which will be is sued every evening. Tobe Jackson, the Cartersville dy namiter, while on his way from Tex as to Atlanta in charge of a deputy marshal, to be tried for his crime, es caped from the train at Chattanooga. He is again at large. In 1879 the taxable property of Thomasville, as shown by the tax books, was $700,000. In 1885 it was over $2,000,000. In the same time, ac cording to the tax books, solvent debts and money increased from $108,- 000 to $335,000. Mr. A. B. Lindeman general contrac tor of the Savannah, Dublin & Wes tern railroad, says 30 miles of the line between Macon and Dublin are grad ed, and that the whole line to Savan nah will be completed by May, 188^ Two Georgia emigrants with four children were married] at the Court House yesterday by ’Squire Bennett. He was a widower, she a widow. They met on the train and concluded to be married. While waiting in this city the ceremony was performed.— Chattanooga Commercial. There has been no Congress since the war wherein ex-soldiers of both Union armies are so numerous as the present one. There are fourteen ex- Union officers in the Senate and sev enty-nine in the House. There are nineteen ex-Confederate officers in the Senate and forty-two in the House. Gordon Howard was severely wounded at his sawmill, a few miles from Irwinton, Tuesday afternoon. He was sawing, and by the careless manipulation of a piece of timber by a negro, it was caught by the saw and thrown against Mr. Howard with such force as to break his arm and two ribs. The Coroner of Tattnall county failed to have the body of Whiteman, who was killed about a year ago, disinterred for examination, as he could not get a physician to act in the case, the physician not being fully satisfied that he would be paid for the work. The Coroner has postponed the disinter ment indefinitely. The elections in Virginia have so far generally resulted in favor of an ti-prohibitionists. Fredricksburg on Thursday gave a majority of 210 for barrooms, and on Monday Richmond in a vote of nearly 12,000 gave a ma jority or o,w>i agmuBt proIilDltion. The dispatch says the negroes voted almost solidly for barrooms. Man chester and Lynchburg also polled large majorities against prohibition. Ja-CAPITAL PRIZE, •75,000.-8* Tickets only $3.

Pat terson's Memorial day speech at Griffin is reported to have been cheered to the echo. Speaking of Jefferson Davis he said: “In the general am nesty of the government he only is proscribed, for him alone are still kept burning the sacrificial fires of section al hate, and I swear by the sacred bones of the Confederate dead that by this same token Jefferson Davis will at Montgomery be reinaugura ted, not President of a brief Republic, but eternal Emperor of the hearts of his people. Labor is a thing worth saving as well as manure. Therefore aim to save both, and avoid the old method of hauling wet, coarse manure on stalk ground in the spring of the year. It is a horse-killing, man-straining, ground butchering proceeding. It is main strength and pure awkward ness employed to trample wet land and do more harm than the manure will do good.
