Yes, the best nickel or ten cent cigar is at Mrs. Posada’s, and don’t you forget it. A Brutal Outrage. Mrs. Lane living in the the upper part of the city, near the Western railroad de pot, has been missing, upon several oc casions, vegetables from her garden. Hav ing suspicions against a colored woman, named Alice Comer, who lives in that neighborhood, she accused her of the theft In talking to some of the neighbors. This came to the ears of Alice and thereat she became much enraged. Bhe vowed that nobody should talk about her in that strain. Going to the house of Mrs. Lane, she called hor out, and when she got her in the street, pounced upon her and beat her unmercifully. She dragged the lady to the ground and a profuse How of blood showed but too plainly the marks of an Infuriated woman. At this Interesting juncture a gentleman, passing by in a buggy, took in the situation and promptly interposed. Ho called the help of a policeman, who arrested Alice and lodged her in the guard house. A war rant was subsequently taken out and the woman carried before Justice lledd, who bound her over in a bond of one hundred dollars. Failing to furnish the requisite security, Alice Gomer was lodged in jail to . await her trial, 1 out mjnoay iti:i iioxfEi r. It Is said that from the experiences of the past mon ought to deduce loesone for their future conduct. This, like many other axiomatic expressions, is very well said, for practical truth has often been the outcome of theoretic speculation. Wo may consider then the open ing sentence of this article as a well settled rule. Nevertheless It Is true that men frequently discard it for speciou reasons best known to themselves. The consequences usually follow, and then the renowned saying of a great German poet applies: “Illusion’s brief-repentance long.” The past then Is the teacher of the future. This, however, cannot apply to the immediate bygone, for many reasons, the chief of which Is that the past week, as regards our immediate surroundings, presents no salient feature to guide us In the path of experience. To put it very mildly the dullness amounted to monotony even including our old standby—the weather. It rained and poured, old Probs stretching himself to make up for lost time Notwithstanding this unpropitious state, so far as travelling is concerned, the tide of wanderers to the adjacent summer resorts did not abate. In fact a greater number of people went to the several springs during the past week than during any similar period this season. While hero in the city items were sought for in vain by the stirring reporters, out little sister Opelika supplied the read er with the news-pabulum that he Iso craves after. The lleid-Grasty affair i was thoroughly ventilated in those col I umns. Grasty is now out under bond, awaiting ids trial at the next term of the Lee county Circuit Court. True to its pol icy the l ull’s has no comment until a ju dicial tribunal has passed upon the merits of the case. \ An interesting investigation took place at Seale, paving the way for the trial ot two parties concerned in the well lumom | bered negro melee across the river. I Our colored population were on the qui i vine yesterday. The visit of their Atlanta ■ confreres has had an inspiring effect on i the trim and soldierly Volunteers. The sudden death of au esteemed citizen cast quite a gloom over a large portion oi ■ i the community, and especially so on the l Irder ot which bo was a prominent mem ber. , I Leaving home, let us make our first i 1 stop in the capital of the State, The “as ; i sembled wisdom” Is still engaged in ; cracking the hard nuts of difficult legisla- : tlon. It is understood that notwithstand ! i ing the largo amount of work done by the ’ ' committees, adjournment is not probable until the middle ot next month. Ihe bill exempting a large number ot citizens ot i I this county from jury duty passed the ■ I House by a large majority, and will doubtless become a law. I. is a sweeping 1 I law—time will show either its good ot evil. I Pending an animated debate on the Peni- ■ I tentiary bill the senate adjourned on Fri | day until to-morrow. Despite the Consti- ’ i tutioual argument of several distinguished 7 I Senators, anxious to uphold the pres ' | out system—despite vested rights and, for that matter, vested wrongs, the fact stare I us in the taco that the present mode of conducting the penitentiary Is a blot y upon the fair escutcheon of this great State —a disgrace to a human and civil ized people. The House signalized itself , by killing the Moffett bill punch bell, thus II j preventing a large job. Much work has been mapped out byway of special orders y for this week. The most interesting event g of the week, however, in the hall of the House of Representatives, was the speech on the questions of the day by Alexander ■ 11. Stephens. The Times brought it in * full; the reader can therefore judge for himself. “Little Alick,” as he is familiar . ti ll ... I ...I vbohhl 111 QTI A ly called, is indeed a remarkable man. A Northern paper, sp- ak ng of his recent speech, said: “Physically Stephens Is the sickest, mentally the healthiest man in Georgia.” The capture of one of the Defoor mur derers has been the exciting theme of At lanta. Theollieers are hard on the track of the others. Poor Memphis reports no favorable change. The fever seems to be less violent than last year, but it is slowly and shurely spreading over the doomed city. The establishment of camps is a wise preventive measure and will doubtless save many lives. Owing to the rigid quarantine, there is no apparent danger elsewhere. Accidents, casualties and crimes have been prominent last week. Some sad eases of drowning of pleasure parties are reported by telegraph, the saddest o! which seems to be the watery death of live ladies on the St. L iwrenco. The city ol Hamilton in the adjoining Dominion has been visited by a terrible conflagration, destroying much property and the life ol a brave fireman. 'Texas comes in for a full share of crime. Several diabolical murders and affrays disgrace her week’s record. The Indians on the TeXan border are again on the war path, and the border troops are called into requisition. The International and Great Northern Road of the L >ne Star State has been purchased by its bondholders. A terrific tornado is I reported from tue vicinity of McKinney. Saratoga supplies the Associated Press with its important (?) reports of horse races on the principle that they (the races enter largely into the amusements of that popular Spa. On the same principle, we supppose, it is deemed necessary to telegraph all the particulars of English horse races for the edification of American readers. The ca ble was kept busy last week conveying this important intelligence, owing, per haps, to the defeat of Mr. Lorrilard’s tiorses. Much less was said of the Eng lish labor troubles which are in a confused muddle. Industrial affairs in England, as well as on tiro Continent, are in a sad condition. Crops are also inferior, and America is reluctantly sought as the laud of promise and plenty. Science is held In high repute among the enlightened governments of Europe. Ac tive preparations are now going forward on the part of England and the Continen tal countries to make a joint expedition to the North pole, and by inviting American co-operation, to render it a grand interna tional undertaking. The most momentous European casual ties of the week were a terrible hurricane on the Adriatic in the vicinity of Trieste, and the burning of the historic theatre in the renowned Kremlin of Moscow. The new Prince, Tewtic 1., of Egypt, has gained a signal victory over the Porte, in consequence of whieh the Grand Vizier resigned, which in turn led to the total abolishment of the Vizierate. The Indo-British troops, returning from the Afghanistan campaign, are attacked by a irightful enemy—cholera —and t-i eir ranks are suffering severely. State I nlversltv t'oiiiineiicement.

DAILY TIMES: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, SUNDAY MORNING AUGUST 3. 1879. TUB HAT ASD HALL. THE HARMS COUNTY CYCLONES NOT ON THE GROUND. A match game of base ball was to have been played on the south commons yes terday evening by the Harris County Cy clones and the Alabama Boys, but for some reason, doubtless the weather, the Cyclones were not on the ground, much to the disappointment of quite a number of boys who wore present to witness the game. That this might not be wholly so, Mr. Tom Mahaffy volunteered to play the Alabama Boys with a nine that he would select on the ground, and in a few minutes the game began. The following compose the nines playing; Alabama Boys—Alex. Snowden, Cap tain, Wm. Skipper, J. G. Belcher, I. B. Skipper, John Posey, Bob Marchant, Joe Price, John Snowden, E. D. Barnes. Scrub Nine—Tom Mahaffy, Captain, Pete Riley, John Carut. H. Summergiil, Tom Ruse, E. Hall, W. Calhoun, Warren Richards, Green Pittman. Though a slow, steady rain foil nearly all the time, six innings were played, which resulted in a victory for the Ala bama Boys In a score ot 28 to 11. Much amusement was created by occa sional slip-ups, and a scatteration when a bat would slip from the hands of a batter and go Hying into a crowd of lookers-on. A !Sa.<l mill Hudilcn Deatli. Our community was startled yesterday by tile report oi tile sudden death ot Mr. George W. Gafford, which took place about midnight between Friday and Saturday. Mr. Gafford was apparently in excellent health but a tew hours before his death lie retired at his usual hour. About mid night hie wife heard a strange noise, and, becoming alarmed, lit a lamp. She raised iier husband’s head ami spoke to him. At that very moment he quietly breathed ills last. The physicians pronounce the immediate cause of ids death to have been heart disease. Mr. Gafford was a quiet and unassum ing citizen, noted for his probity of con duct and strict principles. He was a prominent membar of Mt. Hermon Lodge F. &A. M., and Muscogee Encampment, I. O. O F. His profession was that of a painter and he was a member of the firm of Bradford & Gafford. He belonged to St. Luke Methodist church and always was one ot its consist ent and steadfast members. His loss will be felt by the community at large, for lie was a good citizen. He lived here for up wards of twenty years and was about 45 years of age. He leaves a wile to mourn the loss of a kind husband. The sum ral, as appears by notice else where, takes place at ten o’clock this morning. Country people will find it to their ad vantage by calling on Dr. Mason to have their dental work done. augS su&wlt The A. and M- College, Auburn, Ala. It is with real pleasure we call the at tention of our readers to the advertise ment of tills sterling institution which ap pears In another column. Its curriculum is one that will lit a young man for any sphere or vocation in life, and the military departmei.t inculcates punctuality and discipline, so necessary to the success of every man. The corps of instructors is equal to that of any similar institution in the country, and being heavily endowed by the general government the tuition is free, $lO covering the incidental fees tor the term. Several ot its officers arc well known to our readers, and will go far to commending it to their attention; Col. It A. Hardaway,Commandant and Professor of Engineering: Col. W. H. Chambers, Professor of Agriculture, and Bev, G. W. | Maxson, in tire Chair of English Litera ture,and the other officers of like charac ter and ability. To those of our young men who can possibly do it, wo say avail yourselves of the advantages of this nobio institution. Men of business should have their tooth fixed up before the busy season sets in Dr. Mason does all dental work at very reasonable prices. It A Strong Firm. Messrs. E. E. Yonge and Cliff B. Grimes, have formed a copartnership for the pur pose of conducting a provision, stock and bond brokerage business and real estate agency. Mr. Yonge has been in the busi ness for some months past, and is rapidly building up a lucrative business, and the addition ot Mr. Grimes will add greatly to it. In fact wo don’t know of a combina tion ot two cleverer men, and their known sterling integrity will command the con lidence of parties having business in their due, Now is the time to have your children’s teeth put in good condition during vaca tion, Call on Dr. Mason. It Improvements. Wo have frequently mentioned the vari ous new buildings going up in the upper part of the city, but have overlooked the fact that the spirit of improvement had al. so invaded the lower part. Mr, James E. Deaton has erected a beautiful residence on the west side of lower Oglethorpe street which adds much to the appearance of that neighborhood. Still lower down, and on the same side, and on the corner of the last block, Mr. Jas. Marcrum is just com pleting four very pretty cottages. In ev ery direction we saw evidences of the paint brush, aed other marks of prosper ity. Verily, down town is looking up. A Beautiful Poem. Elsewhere we publish a poem written by a charming and gifted contributor of the Sunday Times. Our readers will be pleased with a poem that is so fresh and natural, breathing the spirit of poetry and love for the good, the true and the beautiful. We trust that our fair, young friend will soon place us under additional obligations by a repetition of her valued contributions. Gen. Fremont’s Jpleasant little scheme for turning, the waters of the Colorado into the great desert basin of California and Arizona, and thus making of that arid waste an island sea, held by good ’engineers to be almost insanely visionary.

In as much, Mr. Editor, as you gave place In (your Dally Issue of the 24th ins*., to an article, the object of which was to reflect upon myself, I hope you will do mo the justice to publish this communica tion. The writer of the article of which I speak attempts t > make upon the minds of the publie thise Impressions: That I was unnecessarily long in replacing the bridge; that I have built a bridge unnec essarily high; that I have failed to com plete it, leaving a large portion of it for the road hands to do, thereby imposing an unlawful and heavy burden upon them; that my neglect to have the bridge completed may have a “bigger moaning” thunall these would indicate, to-wit: the directing of the trade of that section to Americus. This is Mr. “Pine Knot’s" bill of charges Now to the law and to the facts. Dr. McLaughlin Informed me the freshet had carried off the bridge. I told him the law required mo to advertise the repairing ot it thirty days, Maj. Miller read the law to him, which inlllcted a heavy penalty If I acted otherwise. I started my notice at ouce and let the contract as soon as the law would allow. So much for the delay. As to heighth, Dr. McLaughlin stated the old bridge was too low and suggested that the new structure be made three and a half feet (3%) higher than the former one, and the same length. I told him tiiat would be too high, and would require a large amount ot work to make the abut ments. He replied In substance, that he knew more about the stream than I did, and that he had a plenty ot puncheons at his mill with which the abutments could be easily made, that ho had kept the same up for years. I yielded to his superior judgment, based upon a loug acquaintance with the stream, with a compromise in the heighth (3 instead ot 3% feet). As to the other charge, “that of drum ming for Americus.” I don’t think it is ne cessary for me to notice this. lam on the best of terms with the merchants of Americus and Columbus; do not owe either of them a cent, nor does my house, except a small matter at Messrs. Garrett & Redd’s; wo like the merchants of your city, and they like us; and have spent with them since the war, in all probabil ity,,/?re dollars where Mr. Pine Knot has spent one. I will state for the information of your correspondent that the law gives the super vision of roads, bridges and abutments to the road commissioners of the respective districts, and requires them to report their condition to the ordinary. These officers (nor has any man, woman or child in the district) have never said or written one word to me about these abut i meuts. The law imposes the repairing of abutments upon the road hands, and as Dr. McLaughlin had so kindly offered the ' puncheons, and stated that with these the ' abutments could be easily fixed, I thought, and had a reason to expect, that they had been put in good condition. But, Mr. Editor, the object of your cor respondent is apparent. It is a matter ot ■ but little personal concern to him wheth- ■ er the road hands repair the abutments or i not. The article shows the animus of Mr. ' Pine Knot (and by the way this is a new ’ name for him; I never heard him called 1 by that name before). He has fired his ■ Columbiad at two little abutments to a 1 bridge. Does Mr. Pine Knot want my i office? or has he a friend tor whom he 1 would like to secure it ? It Is not worth the effort he has made to prejudice my in terest- I know Mr. Pine Knot grieves over this bridge, but other things grieve ( him a great deal more. I am Ordinary. The shoe pinciies right here; this turned his pen loose; this gave birth to that “Irn ; portant to the public”—a little cheap po -11 ideal capital to be used against me its object. If the matter is of such public importance why not call my at tention to it over his own name? Why bushwhack me ? Why presume it is useless to appeal to Ordinary Low for fubtheb and from the county tresury”? No appeal has ever been made. Mr Pine Knot never said a word to me about it. An appeal to the county treasury is a convenient and potent way ot election eering. At one time the ordinary is urg ed to bridge every little stream and gully in the county; at another time (tax gath ering time) he is censured for heavy tax es which the grand jury of the county im poses. It is impossible to please every body. The thing can’t be done. Mr. Pine Knot don’t, please himself, and how ean he reasonably expect me to do it, es pecially when he has made up his mind NOT TO BE PLEASED. Pardon me for this long communica tion. Justice to myself required the facts to be known, which, I think, are sufficient to satisfy tlie public mind that the Abut ments to this bridge did not move the pen i of Mr. Pine Knot, and that the law has | . been complied with by the “astute ordi nary” of the county of Marion.

The arrival of the Atlanta Cadets on Friday evening created quite a stir among the colored people of this city. The Ca dets are the guests of the Columbus Vol unteers and are well entertained. At twelve o’clock yesterday both com panies were out on a batallion drill, under 1 command of Captain Davis, of the Volun teers. In the evening they had a dress parade under command of Captain Bent-1 ley, of the Cadets. On both occasions they ! did remarkably well,, going through the ' evolutions in line style. All that saw them were loud in their commendation. 1 Last night a festival and ball were given at Temperance Hall in honor of the At lanta guests. Until a late hour, all pres ’ ent enjoyed themselves. The Atlanta ' company and their accompanying friends 1 return home in the morning. FOR RENT.

I We are not certain but think the Ham ilton Journal Is responsible for the follow ’ ing snake story. The snake editor of that paper is the champion of the State and this story is no discredit to his peculiar talent: “A gentleman who Ilves in the western part of this county (wo suppose Harris) ' about three miles from the State road while mowing in a meadow killed eighteen • rattlesnakes. They were found in the hay, the machine having clipped the heads off ot the entire colony, A gentle man who Ilves but a short distance from ' this place killed eighty-four copperheads in one log. Another gentleman reports killing a large snake, and when lifted up one hundred and twenty little ones fell to Hie grou.-d. It Is currently said, and is believed to be true that in three miles of this place there is a den ot three hundred rattlesnakes. The den is located near a small creek at the foot of the mountain.” We may safely conclude that this is a good year for snakes. Gala Day al Chalybeate. A grand military hop and banquet takes place at Chalybeate on Wednesday even ing, the 6th lust Preparations are now being made to make the affair a decided success.

Their beauty fled— So unto thee I bring them not.

A sovereign mother! like my own, So grand and true, S j loving too, The dearest, best, of all friends known 1 Oh! what to us is half so dear, As mother’s smile, and mother’s can-! Or what so grateful to our hearts, Ah that her slightest word imparts! Tho look ot ti uderest, watchful love, That ever lies, Within her eyes, A type of that in Heaven above! This do I feel, while gazing now, Dear mother, on thy noble brow; And gladness thrills my heart, to see How lightly Time has dealt with thee; Time, cruel tyrant, spares but low— The rolling years, To us bring tears, As night brings to the flowers—dew, May Heaven grant thy life be long! The earnest wish of this my song— Thy evening sun be calm and bright! Few shadows intercept the light— Or like some sweet harmonious strain Os music bo This life for thee!

The Senate is not in session to day. HOUSE. The House mot at nine o’clock and was called to order by Mr. Speaker Bacon. Prayer by Mr. Hanks, of Whitfield. Tito roll was called aud the journal rea< I Upon motion of Mr. Nesbitt, of Bibb, a bill to empower the county commissioners of Bibb to purchase tho Wyly Turnpike, was taken up and read the second time. Mr. Hall, of Spalding, moved to suspend the rules for the purpose of reading the Senate resolution author izing Peterson Thweatt to sue tho State. Tho motion prevailed and the resolution read. The resolution was reported back from the Finance Com mittee by a substitute. Mr. Hall, of Spalding, moved to amend the preamble in the substitute by inserting the word "political” be tween the words "the” and "year.” Adopted. The substitute of tho committee was agreed to. Tile yeas and nays woto called for, which call was sustained, and the vote stood, yeas 77 and nays 52. Mr. Miller, of Houston, raised the question that inasmuch as the reso lution was to become a law if it was not necessary that said resolution should be carried by a vote of BS. Mr. Mvnatt, of Fultou, said the Constitution contemplated a passage of law and not a resolution, and tha* 88 votes were necessary. The speaker announced that he would decline to decide a constitu tional law as a parliamentary law and would leave the House to decide thoquestion itself. Mr. Hall, of Spalding,claimed that 'lie paragraph in the constitution had no application to the present case, as it was not a contract made during the late war. Mr. Paine, of Chatham, here is a gentleman who says the State owes him a certain sum ot money. Past Lesislaturcs have dodged the ques tion. S ime has said the State does not owe him and great legal minds have eaid the State does owe him. He comes before this body and sim ply asks the pitiful|privilege;of sueihg the State. If you say no, then it ap pears you are afraid the man has a just claim and will not give him a chance to appeal to a court jury. Mr. Cox, of Troup, thought the pas sage of the resolution would not in terfere with the constitution. If it did the question would be raised in the court and would be decided upon by the presiding Judge. This is not an obligation to be decided upon by this body. It is not pronounced “null and void” by the constitution. It is to supply a claim. Messrs. Mynatt and Halsey also took positions that a vote of 88 was necessary to the passage of tho res olution. The House, by a vote ot yeas and nays, decided that a vote of 88 was necessary, aud the Speaker decided that the resolution was lost. Tlie House then proceeded to tho reading of bills a second time.
