UNION & RECORDER.
ITor Congress—6th District,
JAMES H. BLOUNT, of Bibb.
Augusta Letter.
Augusta, Ga. I
Oct. 1st, 1880.)
Editors Union-Recorder:
The dreaded 39th has come and
eone, and your correspondent is still
in the land of the living, enabled to
resume his weekly letters to one of
the best papers in the State The on
ly part of Augusta’s population that
was in any way disturbed by Wig
gins’ prediction, were the colored peo
ple many of whom thought that the
day of judgment was about to dawn
To^the credit of this people be it said
that they manifested little, if any ex
citement? A feeling of deep solemnity
^ppmed to pervade them, eve.,
their daily rounds of labor and as
soon as released from then dihereni
employments they would hasten to
their respective churches, and pass
the night in singing and in prayer
The more intelligent were as little
alarmed as their white friends and
seemed to look upon the great ( ?^
earth-quake prophet as a fool or a
knave. In this connection I take
pleasure in saying that Augusta can
boast of as orderly and upright a class
of colored people as any community
in the South. 1 As a rule they eschew
polities, in lieu of which they devote
themselves to the interests of educa
tion and religion. They have learned
to regard the whites as their friends,
and eagerly consult them about all
matters pertaining to their welfare.
Of course there are many exceptions
to this rule, but my observation leads
me to believe that the exceptions are
gradually growing le 3 s. It is the duty
of the white people to assist the col
ored race in their laudable efforts to
elevate themselves mentally, morally
and spiritually. The great stride, or
fockoSt as it is called seems no nearer
to settlement than it did several
weeks sl-*o. Many efforts have been
made to reconcile the differences be
tween the operatives and their em
ployers, but all to no purpose. The
Mill Presidents state that they will
make no concessions until the hands
go back to work, and the operatives
declare that they will not return un-
+il their demand for higher wages
is complied with. About fifty hands
are now at work in the Augusta Fac
tory, and more are gradually bem„
added to this number, but the great
mass of the operatives arestlldle
Twenty or more nands were brought
on by'this Factory from Patterson,
N J. but as soon as they reached
Augusta the strikers met them m
large numbers, and they refused to
enter the Factory. They claim to
have been told nothing about the
lockout or strike, and declare that
they would never have left their
homes had they been aware of the
situation in Augusta. On the other
hand, I believe President Phimzys
agent avers that he made Known to
them the exact condition of affairs
among the Mills of Augusta. Grand
Master Mevnardie is very much in
censed that they should be brought
to Augusta in this way, and threat
ens to make the Factory “pay for it.
How he is going to do this is yet to be
^ een< a s, in my opinion no unbiased
iurv is going to award damages
against a corporation for offering
•work to men. The Augusta Factory
is trving to solve the problem by nil-
inn- the places of its strikers, and if it
continues as successful as it has been
in the past two weeks, it will not be:
lon^ before every loom will be run
ning every factory at work, and the j
great strike of ’80 shall have worn it-1
^Next Monday the schools of Rich-!
jnond county will open their fall ses
sions. Most of them have already en
rolled large numbers of pupils, and by
the close of next week will have as
many as they can well accomodate.
The school population of Richmond
county seems to increase annually.
At any rate, there is a growing de
mand for seats in our public schools.
The Houghton Institute has already
enrolled 260 pupii§, and by the last of
next week will add 100 more names
to the list. ^ . .
This is “Moving Day” in Augusta.
Iu other words, the renting season
begins today, and all who have decid
ed to change their places of abode for
another year must move on October
1st. And it appears to an observer
that all Augusta is moving. The
streets are lined with wagons, drays
and carts piled high with furniture,
while on the side walks may be seen
children and servants carefully carry
ing glass-ware from one point to an
other. Oh it is the bane of house
wives, and today’s sun will set upon
many a tired frame in the city of Au
gusta. .
The day begins to depart, and night
is fast throwing its deep, dark shad
ow's upon the land. How much like
the human heart. Only a faint line
divides the darkness from the light.
Today in the sunlight of hope and
joy: tomorrow in the deep darkness
of despair. Hut the sun will rise to
morrow and chase away the darkness
of the night. So the sun of Right
eousness will drive away the heavy
clouds of despair from the human
heart, and illumine it with peace and
jov. Houghton.
The trial of Luther Ellison, charg
ed with the murder of conductor
Bart Wall about one month ago on
Collins street, which has been going
on in the Superior Court since Wed
nesday morning, was concluded this
afternoon by the jury returning a
verdict of guilty with a recommen
dation to mercy. As soon as the ver
dict was read, Judge Clarke, sentenc
ed the prisoner to lifetime imprison
ment in penitentiary. At the request
of the counsel for the pnspner an or-
der was passed suspending execu
tion of the sentence for twenty , days
to allow a motion for a new trial to
•be made.—Atlanta correspondence of
the Savannah News, Oct, 2.
The Georgia legislature to be elected
next Wednesday will meet on the
first Wednesday in NoYe^ 61, aex t.
Republican Senatorial Convention.
On Saturday delegatee from Han
cock and Washington met at the
Court house professedly to hold a
republican Senatorial Convention.
Some of the delegates seemed to
think they should nominate a republi
can, rather than indorse an independ
ent. They could see no difference in
indorsing an independent and an or
ganized democrat. -The orators
waxed warm in their discussion,
as six were trying to speak at once.
Thev finally adjourned and met at the
C. M. E. church, with new Washing
ton delegates appointed by the chair
man from Hancock, and with such
delegates we learn Mr. Kirkland was
indorsed for the Senate. Will demo
crats support their nominee or the re
gular nominee of the democratic party?

Turkey is Preparing for War.
—The Turkish war department seems
determined to prepare for the worst
that may come. She contemplates
equipping and drilling sixty thousand
Turkish horsemen in the same man
ner that Russian Cossacks are equipped
and drilled. Some that ought to
know think that Russia s want of
money is all that prevents war on a
large scale.
Mr. Roland B. Hall sold out his
drug business yesterday to Mr. 1. M.
Christian, of Amherst, Va. Mr.
Christian comes well indorsed by the
citizens of his town. Mr. Hall has
been in the drug business in Macon
for fifteen years and established a
good business. He will become a cit
izen of Monticello, where he will en
gage in the insurance and real estate
business.—Macon Telegraph, 2d.
The coming congressional elec
tion in Georgia will be the quietest
ever held in the State. For the first
time since the war the republicans
will not have a candidate for con
gress iu the State, and there will not
be any contest of any sort in any or
the ten districts.
