UNION & RECORDER. Augusta Letter. Augusta, Ga. > Jan. 14, 1887. , Editors Union llKconnuu: Augusta is crowded with isiturn ftrotn portions of tin 1 Palmetto State and (Jeorgia. They have come from aJong the line of new roads entering 4Mii- eitv from Greenville in the north to Sandersville in the south. The partv were specially invited by the merchants of Augusta, who desire to re-establish business relations with the different sections represented by the visitors. In ante-bellum days the t*»de of Western Carolina and Eas tern Georgia all came to Augusta. When these sections were tapped by railroads not entering our city this trades was carried to other place. So Hie object held in view by our mer chants is to regain this lost trade by stablishing friendly relations between Augusta and the people of these sec tions. Special trains were run by the severnl roads, and ns each delegation arrived it was met by a committee of oitizens who escorted the members thereofto their respective hotels. By nightfall on Wednesday GOO visitors }*ad arrived. Those who came on early trains were driven in carriages around town, and shown “the sights of the city." At night a magnificent banquet was Fpread at the Planters Hotel and participated in by nearly *o)0 persons. Appropriate toasts were read hy Hon. Patrick Walsh who aefr- ■ed ns Chairman, and were responded Vo in most eloquent speeches by many of Carolina and Georgia’s representa tive citizens, last night h ball was jgiven at Masonic Theatre in honor of the guests, where the beauty and fAivalry of the two States mingled In tiie dance until the early hours of day. Our visitors are charmed with tlieir reception, and are loud in their ■praises of Augusta’s hospitality. As 1 predicted in a previous letter, •Chief Christian has resigned the com mand of the Police Force, and 1st Went. Joseph A. Twiggs has been elected to succeed him. Chief Twiggs Ins been connected with the force for several years past, and has made a must efficient und faithful officer. As Chief of Police he has a wider field in which to display his ability, and as he as young and ambitious a successful career is predicted for him. IJeut. Hood is promoted to the First Lieu tenancy. This gentleman was sup ported by some for the position of < thief, and would certainly make a William; record as such, but the coin- ■nission decided to promote the ofli- cers according to their rank in regu- iibtr order. Our community was pained to hear of the dentil of Hon. E. O’Donnell, which occurred at, 5 o’clock this morn- in-g. Air. O’l lonncll has been for years jNS-sr. a member of the City Council from the 3rd ward, in which body he .-•<s chairman of the Finance commit tee. During the absence of Mayor May in was appointed Mayor pro teui, and tilled that position to.the satisfaction ofthc entire city. He was tCoSrnfuii tee. Mr. O’Donnell was an Irishman hy birth, hut lias for many year- rf'-Mcd in \ugusta and eng.:rr >*<i i i the grocery business. His fu neral will be held this day at St. Pat riok‘* i "atholio Church, and will lie attended by the City Council and a large concourse of friends. Mr. O' Donnell's death creates an other vacancy in the Council Hoard. Two now exist—one from the 2d ward -.kr.nl one from the 3rd. Effort lias been made to induce Air. Robert A. Fleming, one of tin* oldest and most ipriglit of Augusta's citizens to fill he vacancy caused by Mr. Mullarky’s resignation, but he stoutly refuses to allow the use of his name. The color ed voters of the 3rd ward have sug gested the name of one of their race— Lyons, the colored lawyer—but it is not known whether or not he will run. A sad example of the evil effects of ■strong drink eauie under my observa tion a few days ago. A young inan Jiving in a neighboring State was call ed by telegram to the bed-side of his wife who lay critically ill at her fatli- -4 r'» residence, a short distance from Augusta. He arrived in Augusta about sundown, and was compelled to wait uiiLil morning before he could reach his destination. While at the hotel he met some former frieuds(f) who insisted on liis taking a drink. He at first declined, pleading his weakness, but was finally persuaded to indulge. One drink called tor others. Morning came and touud him beastly intoxicated, and totally oblivious to his surroundings and un conscious of his condition. The spell was kept up for a week or more, his money was stolen, clothes bartered for whiskey, wife, child, family, all forgotten. Finally he was arrested, arraigned before the Recor der, and sentenced to thirty days on tlxe chain gang. A passer by would have called him a tramp or some oth er hard name. Hut ho was none of these. He was a man of intelligence, a man of education and oulture, and & member of one of the best families in our Southland. His father is an ex-United States Senator, and is noxv an Associate J ustice of the Supreme Court in a sister State. While the no ble family were gathered around the Christmas board in their palatial home, the wretched son was suffering the tortures of degredation and des pair in a prison cell. While they were elegantly clad and sumptuously fed, he was wearing the garb of a • onvict, and feeding on prison fare. A gentleman who knew his family interested himself in the poor unfor tunate’s behalf. A pardon was pro cured. lie was taken to the gentle man’s house, properly clothed and eared for, and xvhen able to travel a ticket was purchased for him, and ho was sent to his home crushed in spir it and broken in heart. He informed me that on his mothers Bible he would take an oath never again to taste the accursed stuff. Alay God strengthen him, and give him graco te'keep the oath inviolate. Jf the Christian men and women of every city would establish an asy lum where such cases could be taken and treated until they become sober, it would in my judgment have greater influence iii reforming a drunkard, than that which is exerted hy the •prison cell or the chain gang. Houghton. CONGRESSIONAL. The House on the 11th, passed a hill appropriating one hundred thou sand dollars for the purchase of a site Upon which to erect a public building in Charleston, and two hundred thou sand for its erection. The South Car olina Representatives wanted double that sum, but not to imperil the bill by urging a much larger sum they acquiesced in ttie small appropriation. There was some allusion to the Pa cific Rail Road Funding bill but it was passed over for the present. The House went into consideration of the bill creating a Department of Agri culture and Labor. An amendment was adopted increasing from $4,000 to $5,000 the salary of the Commissioner of Labor. The bill was passed yeas, 222; nuvs, 211. The House then went into consider ation of a hill amendatory of an act establishing a bureau of Animal In dustry. Immense losses have occur red iii that industry especially from the outbreak <>f pleuro pneumonia. After considerable debate without no tion the House adjourned. The Senate continued the consider ation of the Inter-State Commerce bill. Mr. Coke of Texas spoke in fa vor of the Conference report of the bill. Senator Harris, one of the three Senate conferees, also advocated the bill. At the close of his speech the Senate went into Executive session, and when the doors were opened ad journed. In the House on the 12th, Mr. Bland, from the committee on coin age, weights, and measures, reported back the resolution calling upon the Secretary of the Treasury foriuforma- tion as to the mohthly purchases and coinage of silver during the last fiscal year, and the first hIx months of the present fiscal year; and also informa tion as to whether the law, requiring the purchase and coinage of not less than $2,000,000 wort.h of silver bullion, 1ms beet) complied with. Adopted. Mr. Tucker of Virginia, then called tin* bill providing for the bringing of suits against the Government of the United States, and after a brief dis cussion it was passed. SKNATK. Among the communications pre sented and referred was a memorial (presented by Senator Drown) from the citizens of Oedartown, (la., for a repeal of the internal revenue laws. A number of bills were reported from the committees and placed on the calendar. These will be noticed as they are taken up. A bill to pay to the legal represent- The Death of a Good Man. In the death of Chief Justice James Jackson, Georgia loses a great and good man, whose name is honored throughout the length and breath of the commonwealth. As a citizen, lawyer, statesman and Judge, the dead chief justice leaves behind him a record so shining and spotless that it will be proudly clier islied by his people us a bright exam ple and a precious memory. He belonged to a family famous in tiie annals of ■ our State, and the dis tinction justly earned in his public ca reer was worthy of his lineage. Hut he had a still stronger claim noon the love and admiration of his fellow men. Throughout his long life, James Jackson was a devoted Chris tian. It was his highest happiness to work for the Master, nral through his earnest words and pathetic eloquence, many of those who now monrn his death were first persuaded to give themselves to Christ, It is impossible in this brief outline to sketch the fall proportions of a character and a na ture so loftly, so pure and so lovable. Cither pens will attempt the task. The people of a great State share the bereavement of the stricken family. But for such men as James Jackson there is no death— only Eternal Life!—Atlanta Constitu tion. SIMPSON HARRIS. A Fashionable Marriage at Christ Church Last Night, The Reception. Telegraph, 13th inst.

Successor of Chief-Justice Jackson. It was ascertained at the executive office yesterday thnt the governor had been notified that the names of several prominent gentlemen would be placed before him by their friends and urged for consideration in rela tion to the vacant chief justiceship when the proper time should arrive for the selection of Judge Jackson’s successor. Among the names thus presented occur those of ex-Governor Smith, Judge Simmons, Judge John T. Clarke, Judge Vason, Judge Hook, Hon. C. C. Jones, Judge Samuel Lumpkin, Judge John I. Hall, Judge Underwood, Judge McCutcheonand a number of others. It Was also as certained that the present associate justices of the supreme court had re quested the governor to appoint Judge Bleckley, and had urged the necessity for prompt action in the matter, as the court was in session, and the public business therein very urgent. Upon this application from the court the governor sent for Judge Bleckley and asked him to serve until the meeting of the legislature in Julv. Bleckley requested to be allowed time to consider whether it would be possible for him to comply, but stated that the wish of the associate justices was influentnl with him. It is not known what Bleckley’s de cision will be, but it was ascertained that the governor, later in the day, urged acceptance upon him, stating as additional reasons that his ap pointment would insure harmony in the court and give satisfaction to the entire bar of the state, and that these considerations made it his duty to take the position for the present.— Atlanta Constitution lgth inst.

He lias endeavored to open a First-Glass Grocery Store, in Milledgeville, nnd intends, so long as be continues in business, to keep up a full and complete stock of FKESH GOODS and to sell just as LOW as the same goods can bo sold in this or any other market. Ho does not propose to cut under his Brother Merchants, but it will be a “cold day in August” when he is run out by the Brother who proposes to undersell him. His advantages are no better than any other man, BTJT JUST AS GOOD, and he can well afford to meet their prices. He Makes a Small Profit on all he Sells, and “Don’t you forget it.” He does not sell at COST, he buys from the best houses, pays cash, gets tlio benefit of cash discount, and therefore can and will Sell Goods as Low as Any One! To mention the articles would be useless, suffice it to say, he has nearly all the goods usually kept in a First-Class Grocery Store in cities of any size.
