Openinu TUEin Evns.—“ Leo” writes to the
Charleston Courier concerning universal negro
suffrage :
“ Quite a change ol policy has taken place in
the North upon the subject of the Congress
policy of forcing universal negro sulfrage upon
the South. The matter was really little
thought of by the public heretofore. Jt was
generally taken for granted that negro suffrage
would be but nominal, and would be soon left
to the several States for such modifications as
might he necessary. Now, they find that negro
Governments are really to be set up and sup
ported by the military arm, and that these peo
ple just emerging from abject slavery, with all
its attendant degradation, are put over the
head of the white population. This idea ot
power by Congress will hardly be tolerated bv
the people of the North. The passions and
prejudices created by the civil war have sub
■ idea, and men are becoming more disposed to
•have reason and do justice.
“The Northern Suites which have heretofore
Withheld unqualified suffrage from the negroes
are not the more inclined to grant it, after see
ing tin; mischief that it. will produce in the
South. Republican citizens of the State ot
Connecticut, who have lately been her.; state,
confidently, that the popular leeling in that
State against the extension of suffrage to
negroes has been much increased of late
bv the prospect of negro ascendency in the
South.”
Tut: Teachers Convention.— ln copying
our lase remark ; urging tlm propriety of a con
vention of Ccorgia teachers, to meet as sug
gested, on the twenty-second of this month, at
Atlanta, the Opinion, of that city, says :
“Several of out teachers have given such re
sponses as ait) insure a warm reception to the
profession throughout the State, on the part of
the people of the Gate City.”
From oilier sources, also, we are led to he
lieve that there will be a full attendance, and
we hope much good may fur done.

Mu. Kotor . Being a mereliant end interest

chants of Augusta to the importance of cstab
lishiti ■ a Board of Trade or Exchange. Every
other city of any note has one, and with such an
establishment, :i great many difiieullics we arc
now laboring iindi , i'can be obviated. For in
stance, a sysii an of credit lie organized which ,
undoubtedly the hanks here will fully appro- (
oiute and tie of a material benclSt to all mer
chant.', also to planters. Why not have the
Exchange? Let ns have a meeting of mer
chant: , who will move in this matter, ami let
us m ake Augusta what she should he, the
queen city ol ilio interior South.
Merchants of A lu/nshi arise, and do not he asleep,
while Savannah, Atlanta and Macon are having
their trade regulated by an Exchange. Look
at Charleston. Her merchants have no trouble
in trade. Quit polities for a season, and give,
your attention ifi the establishment ol a hoard
ior Urn regulation of trade and commerce.—
Why is it that there are now so many prices in
town? Simply liec.iuse there is nothing to
regulate trade.' A Board of Trade will regulate
alt this, and the prices will be uniform, and less
trouble will arise. Trade that is now going to
Charleston and Bvnnnnh will come here. A
house situated in the centre of the city can lie
obtained at a small rent, suitable for the meet
ings.
Merchants of Augusta, let us convene in
council, and start this project at once. What
say you ? Answer through the press—answer
womptly. Shall we have a meeting ?

A Spicy Burlesque—Two Ohio Darkies
Matched to Eat Liver for the Champion
ship of Oberliu and Ashtabula-
Exciting contests for money or prizes, or
both, are by no means confined, tiow-a-days, to
pugilists, base-hall clubs, hilliurdists, cricketers,
&c. But yesterday the Plaindealer contained a
notice of a match to he played by a couple of
brass bands ; and to-day we have a still more
singular one to chronicle, it being nothing else
than a liver match between a couple of “dusky
Ethiops,’’ {vide Leader) for the championship
of Oberliu and Ashtabula. The principles in
this match are Charles Sumner Pompey and
Benjamin Wade Caesar, two prominent mem
bers of the tonsorial profession of Cleveland.—
Ihc match is to take place at Chapin’s slaugh
ter house, on the 2d day of next August; and,
by the articles of agreement, the man who eats
Die most sheep’s liver, iu twenty-five minutes,
is to receive a beautiful silver mounted tooth
pick, and be declared the champion liver-eater
of Oberliu and Ashtabula.
Charles Sumner Pompey was born in the
Fourth Ward, Cleveland, quite a number of
years ago. lie manifested an early fondness
for liver, and exhibited so much talent and dex
terity iu eating it, that the Honorable David A.
Lavangler procured his early admission to a
slaughter house, with the privilege of spending
his spare time in eating liver. Much of his
talent for liver-eating Mr. Pompey inherits
from his parents, both of whom are scarcely
excelled In that line. Charles is a man of ele
gant manners, and excels as a conversationalist.
In politics he is a Radical, and thinks that the
Ethiopian is eventually to be the dominant race.
Benjamin Wade Ciesar is a sou of Mrs.
Ciesar, by a particular lricrnl, and was born iu
Obcrlin. He early joined the Republican party,
and soon afterwards attracted public aUcntion
as an amateur eater of liver. Afterwards,
agreeably to the advice of Mr. Councilman, be
perfected bis studies as a liverest iu one of the
principal slaughter houses of Cleveland, and
now ranks very high indeed in his profession.
The expense attending the prosecution of Lis
studies was born by Mr. Councilman, who ad
vertised to iuruish Ben with livers—iu varia
bly giving the contract to the highest bidder.
AUTICI.ES r.HT AGREEMENT.
Articles of agreement, entered into this 26th
day ot July, 1857, between Charles Bumuer
Pompey and Benjamin Wade Ciesar. The said
Charles Sumner Pompey agrees to cat liver
with the said Benjamin Wade Ciesar for the
championship of Oherlin and Ashtabula, and a
silver-mounted tooth-pick, on the 2d of Au
gust, 1807, at Chapin's slaughter house —the
prize to be awarded to the parly that eats the
most sheep’s liver within twenty-five minutes ;
and the liver to be eaten according to the rules
formerly governing the table do hole of Jana
wav’s tavern.
To this we attach our names.
CIIAS. fUMNER POMPEY,
Benj. Wade C.-hsak.
Both <il the contestants are, si rick ly speak
ing, amateurs, although their great experience
as liver eaters warrants the expectation that the
match will be a game one, in the Ingest degree.
Belting thus lar is in favor of C'lesar, at t.ln
odds of three to live. There are those, how
ever, who believe that Pompej’s capacity for
holding food is sueli that lie will bust his op
ponent on the third round. We shall see.

The Jerome Medal.
Fortunately for Mr. Jerome, the faculty of
Princeton, (he country and the medal, a place
b is been found where the last may he disposed
of annually to great advantage. The medal
should at once lie transferred to llarvird or
Yale, Ihe slndenls of which institutions are
liercely contesting the one with Ihe nlher the
palm of rowdyism. It, now appears that Mr
Jerome’s mistake consisted, not, in offering a
prize for a gentleman, Imt in the selection of
the place at which the premium was to he
offered.
The gentleman's medal is sadly needed in
New England, and doubtless the laenlty and
students of Princeton will lie glad to see it
transferred to that benighted section. The
classes of Harvard and Yale have an annual re
gall a near Worcester, Massachusetts, where
prizes lor rowing are competed lor. On the
last occasion of this kind, which was celebrated
a lew days since the good people of Worcester
and Iheir visiting guests, were scandalized at
Hie conduct of the young scions of New Eng
land, who represented the above named col
leges. Ladies were insulted on the streets, ami
iu hotels and private houses, their escorts were
beaten or frightened away by drunken Fresh
men and Sophs. Policemen were beaten by
the infuriated Seniors ami Eimiors, maddened
by the intoxicating fumes ol New England
rum, smashed the windows of stores and dwel
lings, and danced war dances in Ihe corridors of
tin! hotels in a state of nudity.
As the hopeful clubs who gave these exhibi
tions, which would disgrace a delegation of
llotentots, or shame a hand ofiii unk. n <’ unan
dies, are hereafter to succeed Wilson, Butler,
Bout wa ll and others, in governing the country,
it. is to he hoped that, Mr. Jerome will send a
gentleman's medal to Yale and to Harvard, and
that til. the next year’s regatta two gold medals,
resting on tin: breast of two athletic rowers,
may give the world assurance that two gentle
men of New England have been seen on the
classic waters of Lake Quingisemumi.
Dum, with Pocket-Knives. Captain (’lark,
until recently connected with the Freedmen’s
Bureau, and stationed in the Blackwalcr Dis
trict, a short time since was charged with being
interested with a Mr. Jacob Garrett in working
a plantation in Catahoula parish. Captain
Clark, however, cleared himself before the
court martial that investigated Hie charges,
and soon after resigned his position in the army. ,
It. appears from what has since transpired ,
that Captain Clark was interested in Ihe planta
tion in the manner charged, or he, immediately
after resigning captaincy, been me a partner
with Mr. Garrett ; we cannot ascertain positive
ly which. However that may lie, Captain Clark
left this city a lew days ago, stating before he
loft, to a gentleman friend, that lie was going
up to settle or sell out his interest in the plan
tation, and he expected there would be a dilli
euity in doing so. On Wednesday last, il our
information is correct, an interview took place
between Ihe two gentlemen, during which a
dispute in regard to the interest of the Captain
in the plantation arose, eventually ending in
mutual threats and defiance, and an agreement
to settle the matter by means of a duel, to be
fought with pocket-knives ! This fright In I pro
position being agreed upon, the two desperate,
infuriated men immediately proceeded to exe
cute it by drawing their Knives and rushing
together. VVe are told that the fearful combat
lasted a considerable time, the men grasping
eaelt other with the left hand, and with the
right cutting, slashing and stabbing indiscrimi
nately in the back and body, on the head and
face, until Captain Clark fell, exhaustr.il from
the loss of Idood. Both men presented a hor
rible appearance, being literally hacked and
gashed over Hie upper part of the body and
arms. Captain Clark expired about twelve
hours alftr the light, and at last accounts Mr.
Garrett was considered beyond the hope of re
covery.—N. O. Times, 30/A .
M. RoiJHUt. —The Emperor Napoleon lias
sent to “Dear M. Rouher” the Grand Cross
of the Legion of Honor set in diamonds,
and in doing so handsomely compliments
the recipient by assuring him that “dia
monds add nothing to the high esteem in
which I have held you for so long a time.”
If eminent services ever deserved recogni
tion, certainly those which M. Rouher has
recently rendered to the French Emperor in
♦he Corps Legislatif should be recognized.
The eloquence and ability, the fertility ol
resources, and the skill in the use of his
material, which the Imperial Minister has
displayed in upholding the Napoleonic pol
icy, and defending it against the assaults of
such renowned orators asThicssand Jules
Fnvre.lmve produced universal surprise and
been rewarded everywhere by loud applause.
He has been equal to every emergency, and
has not only shown himself able to cope
with his sharpest antagonists on their own
opound, but lias pushed them to the wall
again and again by the sheer force of Ids
genius. Though we may sympathize with
the opposition party in France, in so far as
it is really liberal, and in so far as it advo
cates a wider freedom and a better system
of government, we cannot but admire the
intellectual power exhibited on the other
side bv the distinguished Minister.

“ Her little eyes flashed, her thin nose con

that?’ With this she tore off the label, and
with her pretty foot—for there is much ol a

And the crowd marveled saying, Wlie-o-u !
‘Arc you not afraid of insulting some one?
modestly asked some lady. ‘lnsult some
body ! insult somebody !’ said she ‘ I con
sider that an insult to the world!’ And
then going away, the champion of the in

PATENT UNIVERSAL
COTTON TIE AND IKON IIOOPS.
*3!?HIS TIK, with tbe HOOP complete, weighs no
more than the usua' rope used in baling cotton, and
renders an allowance for tare unnecessary, it looses
no slack while putting on, and is so perfect tiiat the
necessity for heavy hoops, to make up for deficiencies
in the TIE, is entirely obviated.
Can be Sold by the pound or ton, as cheaply as the
heavy hoops and less perfect tics. Eaclt and every
TIE is warranted perfect.
As an evidence of the estimation in winch these
TIES are held, we herewith app nd the certilicale of
tlie Agent of the Central Cotton Press in this city. If
a competent judge can be found anywhere as to the
merits of Iron Ties, this gentleman may surely be so
considered, as lie presses thousands of bales of Cotton
every year, and Ties of all patents are constantly pass
ing through his hands.
Offios of thk Central Cotton Priss, )
Savannah, May 27th, 1867. \
Messrs. E. W. Sims <fc Co.,
Agents for Dillon’s “ Universal Tie,” Savannah.
Dear Sirs : In my business of coinpressing Cotton,
1 have had occasion to examine closely all of the vari
ous Ties for iron bands u cd in baling Cotton, and
pleasure iu testifying to the superiority overall others
of the *• UNIVERSAL TIE.” It is as easily ad
justed and is much stronger than any other Tie.
A Tie that is not good at the Press is not good at
the Plantation, us nearly all the Cot I oil is compressed
at the Pulls, and a weak Tie must then be replaced by
a good one at the expense of the planter. I have
never seen one of your I’IKH break, though I pitched
a hide of Cotton secured by them out of a second
story to the ground without any break to the fill.
Under these circninstune s 1 unhesitatingly recom
mend the ” UNIVERSAL TIE ” to every Planter, as
combining the greatest simplicity, with unequalled
strength.

MESSRS. LITTLE <fc MARSHALL;
Gentlemen: I used, during the past seasou, <me oi “ INGERSOLL’S PORTABLE COT
TON PRESSES,” purchased of you last Septcmh r. i have always been prejudiced in favor o!
tbe “Screw Press,” and nothing but dire necessity induced me try any oilier. I take pleasure,
however, in adding my testimony in favor of its entire adaptation to the wants of a Colton Plan
tation. It lias surpassed my most sanguine expectations. I have packed with but two hands,
yet X prefer four—two at each lever. My bales all weighed over 500 lbs. The first lot I sent to
market averaged 502 lbs. My impression is that 500 lbs. is about tbe capacity of the Press, and
a greater number of pounds subject the follow-block to too much risk, unless tbe sides of the
cotton box was increased. It would add greatly l > the value of the Press if the cotton box was
ten inches longer. In haste, I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant, &e.,
15. VV. LAWTON.
P. B.—l took ray Press down and carried it some four miles to pack the crop of a neighbor,
who failed to have a “ Screw ” built; lie was so much pleased that he has determined to aban
don tho “Screw” aud purchase “ Ingersoil’s Prc: s.” 15. W. L.

Gentlemen; 1 have just received yum Inn rol February I illl -upon my return to litis
place, after an absence ol two mouths—and the reply may in; too late for your “ Descriptive
Circular of 1 ngersoU’s Cotton Press."
The Press 1 used in packing my cotton last ye ir worked admirably, packing with ease front
500 to 525 lbs. With good active hands to wot k it, I am satislied that Irom eighteen to twenty
bales might readily be packed iu a day.
This Press combines the advantages of lightness and consequent portability and simplicity
(being easily managed by any one of ordinary intelligence). Great, compressing force, with lit
tie motive power, aud “last, but. not least,” it is worked entirely bj baud, thus saving lor llte
farm horses the hard labor imposed upon them by the use of the ordinary “Screw.”
Respectfully, &e., yours, K. M. LAW.
