WiAt the City Police Cost.—We pre isent below a comparative statement of the amount of money expended in police sala ries for the lirst six months of the years 1868—’GD. As an exhibition of unusual economy during the jiresent year, it is worthy the consideration of our city read ers, especially of city tax payers: Amount paid Police, including four Special, from. January to July \nt, 1868. January 53,715 32 February 3,491 73 March 3,824 39 April 5,304 25 May 4,357 73 June 4,009 77 Paid Chief, Captain and three Lieutenants 3,000 (X) Total amount 27,703 19 Amount paid Police, including the Sergeants , from Jan uary Ist to July 1 si, 1869. January $3,708 65 February 3,738 20 March 3,631 74 April 3,398 07 May 2,838 10 June 2,355 52 Paid Chief, Captain anti three Lieutenants 2,500 00 Total amount 22,170 28 Os this amount $1,500 were applied to the payment of the salaries of ten police men for three months, detailed as a guard for the chain gang convicts, and must be reckoned as outside of the police depart ment proper. Deducting this $1,500 from the aggregate of expenditures to support the police department for the first six months of the year, and comparing figures with the expenditures for a corresponding period last yqjir, we find a difference in fa vor of retrenchment and economy of $7,032 91—more than the economical ad ministration of Maj. Allen has required to keep up the streets and drains.- These are items which address themselves vrith peculiar force to the thoughtful consideration ofctax-payers. A saving of expenses in a single department of the city government to an extent sufficient to pro vide the means which, under a judicious application, are adequate to meet all the demands upon another leading department, is an achievement of rare occurrence in the administration of municipal affairs. For this present illustration of what an honest, practical administration may accomplish when earnestly devoted to a protection of city interests, our citizens arc mainly in debted to the. labors of Alderman J. T. Gardluer, the vigorous, earnestaifd thought ful Chairman of the Police Committee, and his efficient co-jvorkers, Messrs. Jones, Goodrich and Barrett. Nor has 1 his economy been attained at the expense of a sacrifice of the good order and protection of life and property, which it is the legitimate duty of all government to pre serve. Reflection, and contrast of the con dition of the city for the past six months with periods yet fresh in public recollec tion, cannot fail to elicit admiration for the great general good order which has prevailed, and the complete protection afforded property-holders while at night they slept, conscious that their interests were under watchful guardianship of men who would do their whole duty. With a limited force at his command, J. A. Ohris tiau, our present efficient Chief of Police, by his superior knowledge of men and a rigid enforcement of discipline, aided by Competent subordinate officers, has so dis posed and manipulated the men at his com mand that, within the range of the memory jjf the oldest inhabitant, there has not been a period when disorder was less noticeable or fewer thieves afflicted the city, than at present. Railroad Meeting in Atlanta.— We learn, says the Charleston Courier, that Messrs. F. W- Dawson, J. B. E. Sloan, Geo. If. Walter, J. B. Steelp and W. K. Ryan have l>eeu appointed by the President Os the Board of Trade a committee to attend a meeting to be held in Atlanta on the 23d instant, by the friends of the projected railroad from Columbus to West Point, Qa. This committee was appointed in answer to a request from the Columbus Board of Trade. More ConVtct Labor. —The Milledge ville Recorder says Messrs. Grant, Alexan der & Cos. brought the other day from Rome, the Penitentiary convicts that were at work on the road in that section. They are now at work on the Macon and Augus ta road, about two miles from Milledgeville, some 160 in number. City Scales.— The new city scales to which we alluded several days ago as in process of erection, have been completed,' and are now fully prepared for service. They are of the well known and highly ap preciated Fairbank’s patent, in such gen eral favor in the commercial world, and were furnished by tnc Augusta agents, Messrs. John Nelson & Sonjwho have held their agency here for the past twenty years. Their capacity ranges from five pounds to twenty tons, and are constructed with all the modern improvements of utility and ornament. The platform is twenty feet in length by eight and a half in width, an area amply sufficient to meet all commer cial demands. * By agreement with Alderman Meyer, Chairman of the Market Committee, Mr. Nelson supervised the entire work neces sary in the erection of these scales, and from observation, we accord him praise for the very complete and satisfactory manner in which it has been fashioned and exe cuted. • In the foundation and platform the most durable material has been used, so that, with ordinary care and protection, many years must elapse before any repairs will be required. There has been an evi dent desire on his part, resulting in a per fect success, to discharge his part of the contract to. the letter. The most critical tests have been applied to aScertai n the accuracy of these scales, and they have operated with perfect satis faction. Indeed, so well balanced do they appear, that it would be but a slight indul gence of the fancy to assert that a grass hopper, on or off a load of hay, would turn them either one way or the other. Clock von the Grand Jury Room.— In accordance with recommendations of the grand jury, the Ordinary lias purchased a clock for the grand jury room, at the Court House. It is an eight-day clock, and seems to be a thorough time piece. In addi tion to measuring seconds, minutes and hours, a calendar is ingeniously attached to its machinery, by which the day of the week, date and month is accurately indi cated as they change. At twelve o’clock each nigh.:, without interference, the day and d*te hands are moved to the next suc ceeding day with as much precision as if controlled by human intelligence. In mark ing the change of months, the irregular number of days apportioned to each is as faithfully observed by this novel and com plete piece of mechanism as by the most accurate almanac calculations. The addi tional day conceded to the month of Feb ruary every leap year is allowed by this clock wit h an honesty that would put to blush the practice of many who profess to “render unto C«sar.” This clock is at present in the Ordinary’s ofiicc. Hair-Breadth Ideas. —Curled or frizzed chignons are not as popular :is it was sup posed they would be. They have a shape less ami untidy look, in spite of everything, and when the - front hair is straight are not in keeping. The most becoming and dressy style of chignon is one’s own hair, if possible, dress ed in hollow coils and puffs over little sup ports of wire ribbon. This style has this advantage, that the scantiest supply of hair may thus be made to represent a generous growth. “ Rats,” “ mice” and “ frizzes’” to be worn under the hair, to fill it out, are almost superseded by light combs and wire ribbon. Light frizzed curls arc worn about the chignon, with a velvet bandeau cut .bias, for plain dress, and the gayest of aigrettes for a more elaborate toilet. Large meshed nets'of silk cord, or coarsest floss silk, have v quite set aside the deli cate invisible net; a fresh one of this kind being needed nearly every day, the heavy net is welcome. The Coming Chinamen. —The London newspapers contain a correspondence from Canton, stating that preparations are making there for wholesale emigration to the U nited States on the part of the masses, who are but too eager to embrace any op portunity to get away from their Man darins and the bastinado. One of these writers says there is one caution to which the authorities of the United States would do well to give their attention—they must keep the whisky bottle from their new sub jects. Hitherto tills lias lieen done with the most satisfactory results, and if it is not done now, we are warned that we shall get ratlier a bad bargain, a drunken Chinaman being about as hard a case as a whisky-drinking Indian. Paintings by Mrs. Rouert K. Therc is on exhibition at Lexington, Va., a handsome portrait of Gen. Washington, when about thirty years of age, taken when in full uniform; also, a portrait of Mrs. Martha Washington, copied from a portrait taken when she was young, both from portraits now in possession of the Washington family; also, a photograph of Gen. Lee and Mrs: Lee, in colors, taken when young. These paintings are by Mrs. Gen. Leo, and are all pronounced excellent likenesses. They are for sale at SIOO each, and the proceeds arc to be applied for the benefit of the Episcopal Church at Lexing ton, Va. A negro named Ben Harrell was killed by Jim Mitchell, another negro, on the plantation of Mr. W. W. Harrell, in Pu laski county, on Sunday last. Ben knocked down Jim's wife, wiio had attacked him with a gun and axe for whipping his wife, her daughter. When informed of this, Jim got his gun, went to Ben’s house, called him out, and shot him in the head with fourteen buckshot, killing him instantly. Mr. Harrell had Jim arrested, but lie es caped, and is still at large. Tax on Articles Re-Manufactured.— Acting Commissioner of Internal Revenue, J. 11. Douglass, has decided that wheu a manufacturer purchases second-hand arti cles and repairs the same and sells them, he should be required to include the sales of such articles in his quarterly return, and pay the tax thereon as on the sales of new articles. Dismissed from Service. —From the Macon Tdegrayh we leacn that M. M. Hall, the policeman who attacked Swayze with a stick, on Tuesday, was arraigned in the Mayor’s Court, on Wednesday, fined $25, and dismissed from the police, with a re primand from the Mayor. Fresh Meats. —John P. Foster, at the •head of the Lower Market, announces his great display of meats for Saturday morn ing and evening. This meat is fresh killed and adapted to the Sunday meal. Mr. Fos ter is a progressive butcher and believes in the best of meats at reasonable rates. On Monday morning last, the saw mill belonging to Hilton & Son, at - Darien, caught Are in the engine room and was to tally destroyed. Harper’s Magazine.— Our neighbor, Quinn, the newsdealer, has favored us with the August number of this monthly. Change of Postal Route. —The Postal Department of.tlie North German Confed eration lias addressed a communication to our own Post Office Department, dated Berlin, June 20, stating in substance that it is its intention to have all its mail mat ters to and from the Pacific coast, China and Japan, carried by way of the United States, over the Pacific Railroad, and mak ing inquiries on the subject of such an arrangement. No reply has yet lieen made, bat there is no donbt that the response will be satisfactory to the German Postal Department. The time of transmission to and from Japan will be shortened ten days over the present system, but -there will be very little, if any, appreciable advantage to the communication between Hong Kong and Germany. Heavy Stock Operations—The Presi dent Washington dispatches, last night, report the death of Grant’s fa vorite M&rgan mare. The newsgather failed to mention whether the public build ings were .draped in mourning in conse quence. He, however, managed to collect a very Significant item 1 That Grant had telegraphed to have his carriage horses shod and shipped tq Long Branch. This is not exactly the kind of stock operations in which many of our readers feel particular ly interested, but it exhibits the peculiar in dustry of telegraphic news agents. Wear of Railroads.— The average wear of the tracks of the tint United StsHfes is estimated at 7q*er cent, per annum. Taking the length of the roads at 42,250 miles, the annual wear con sumes sufficient iron to lay 2,950 miles of track, or enough* to lay a road from here to San Francisco. Ninety tons are re quired for a mile of single track, so that 266,175 tons of iron are used up anuualiy by the locomotives and cars. Recorder’s Court.— Nicy Cowling was before Recorder Crump, yesterday morn ing, charged with a violation of the 18th section. Plead not guilty, and dismissed on payment of costs.

The Edisto Riots. THE YANKEES TO BE RUN OUT. On Sunday morning, Sheriff E. W. M. Mackey, in company witli Deputy Sheriff Mushington, (colored,) and.Constable Isaac lieed, proceeded to Edisto Island, the Scene of tin; riot already reported in the Courier. lie arrived there on Monday morning, and on that day arrested P. P. Hedges, Alfred Smith, Moses Brown, Boston Jenkins, and Moses Gadsden, charged as being the ring leaders In the riot, and with the release of the prisoner, Cyrus Heywood, whom the sheriff also arrested. From the sheriff we gather the following particulars of the riot: Most of the planters had made a contract with the freedmen to work two days in tlitj week. The difficulty arose in consequence of the freedmen not being jvilling to work on the sth of July, nor to make up for the lost time. Some of the planters took out warrants of ejectment against the refracto ry negroes, who refused to obey the war rants, and this created some excitement.— During this excitement, Cyrus Heywood, who had previously l>eeii ejected, return ed to his place, whop Marstello, -a con stable of the local magistrate, again attempted to arrest Heywood, and resist ance being offered, a difficulty ensued, which terminated in the prisoner being shot in the hand accidentally, as supposed. He was finally carried to Marstello’s house and confined. Meanwhile tl)c pews spread abroad that the prisoner had been mal treated, and on Thursday the negroes as sembled to the number of about one hun dred, a portion of them armed, and pro ceeded to Marstello’s house to demand the release of the prisoner. When they arrived there, however, Haywood had escaped. This, it is said, exasperated- them, and threats of violence were made. When the sheriff arrived, the excitement was some what abated, and the arrests were made witiiout difficulty. They were brought over to the city and carried before Magis trate DeLurge, \yho released them on their own recognizances until Saturday, 30th instant, when he will investigate the case. The prisoners have returned to their homes, and ex press their willingness to make up for the lost time if the planters will consent to drop the matter. The sheriff informs us that most of the planters engaged in the difficulty were Northern men, and that the Southern men on the Island endeavored, unsuccessfully, to quell the disturbances. The negroes replied to this pacific interference that they wanted to run the Yankees out of the place. They had enough of .them Charleston Courier. Edgefield IrEifs. —From the Edgefield Advertiser, of Wednesday, we extract the following items: Homicide.— On»Monday uight last, near the farm of Wm. White, Esq., about a mile from Liberty Hill, a negro man, named James Thompson, was shot and killed. There being considerable doubt concerning the matter, and not having heard the re sult of the coroner’s inquest, we deem it wise not to mention, at present, the name of the person, suspected of the shooting. Casualty. —Hampton Weaver, a colored man, living on the plantation of Mr. Jas. T..Onzts, came to his death, on the 16th in stant, by the accidental discharge of a gun which lie was manipulating. The load en tered his right jaw, killing him almost in stantly. A jury of im/uest was held on the 19th, G. H. Hart, magistrate, acting as cor oner, and a verdict in accordance with the above statement arrived at. Correction. —Two weeks ago we re counted an alTray which had just taken place in the Dark Corner, between two men named Trulfc and Towles, in which it was made to appear that tljp latter, who was shot, was principally to blame. Since then we have learned, upon authority en tirely reliable, that Mr. Towles is an aged man, of the best character and antece dents, and that Tnjit, a young man, was altogether the aggressor in the case. Mr. Towles has the universal.respect and sym pathy of all his neighbors. Rain. —A heavy shower of rain, of short duration, fell in and around oar town on Monday afternoon last. As regards the gardens and corn fields, it came at the eleventh hour. One more day of drought, aud these would have been past redemp tion. As it is, they are resuscitated, and will yet yield abundantly. In many parts of our district, along the ridges and on Sa luda particularly,, very serious drought still prevails. But as clouds now gather heavily every afternoon, all around the horizon, we hope refreshing showers are becoming general. Confirmation at St. Joseph’s.— At half past nine o’clock Sunday morning a class of fifty-seven persons were confirmed by the Rt. Rev. Angustin Verot, D. D., Ro man Catholic Bishop- of Savannah, at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church. The class, com prising twenty males and thirty-seven fe males (five of whom only were colored), was the largest ever presented for confirma tion in this city.

The Star says the President this morning transmitted a dispatch to the Secretary of the interior to have “ Egypt” and “ Cincin nati,” his two favorite carriage horses, shod and sent on immediately to Long Branch. The order has already been complied with. It is understood that the steamer Semi nole, which left Norfolk on the 11th under sealed orders, is directed to capture and bring to Washington the privateer Hero, for molesting American shipping. Secretary Hoar is rejiorted to have said to the delegation urging interference in behalf of certain Americans incarcerated in Ireland for Feniauism, that the men had no business in Ireland; he believed the in vasion' of Canada was the act of a set of robbers and murderers, who deserved severe punishment; and declared that our Government was determined to have-the laws faithfully and rigorously executed. The Tribune says, editorially, “ The Pre sident, we need hardly state, has had no part nor lot iu the proposed nomination of his relative, Judge Dent, for Governor of Mississippi. Whether Judge Dent is a Conservative Republican, a Radical or no Republican at all, makes no shadow of dif ference. The President lias taken qo part in the election of Governors by the respec tive States, and is very unlikely to take any.” New York pajicrs are silent regarding Canby’s policy, imposing the iron-clad on the Virginia Legislators. MISSISSIPPI. Jackson, July 22.—The trial of E. M. Yerger, before the military commission, was concluded to-day. The verdict is not known. After the trial was concluded, Ycrger was brought before Judge Hill, of the United States Circuit Court, on a writ of habeas corpus.

London, July 22.—After a prolonged de bate, nearly every Lord explaining mroself, the Lords divided on the preamble to the Church Bill as it. came from the Commons. The Government waa defeated by 78 votes —95 to to 173. Issue was finally joined between the Lords and country, and political excite ment in consequence is intense. The Cabinet was in session all the after noon, but lacks harmony. Gladstone, Bright, LOwe and all the stronger members insist upon the Immediate withdrawal of the bill,, on the ground that the obstinate resistance of the Peers renders a conflict between the two Houses inevitable. Some members, including Clarendon, advocated more moderate proceedings, such as letting the bill take its course, and only abandon ing It at the last moment; but the insult ing language used by Salisbury towards Gladstone, and the large vote against the preamble, show attempts at compromise useless There is little doubt that Glad stone will carry his point by withdrawing the bill, immediately followed by a speedy adjournment to August, by which time the dreatiou of anew batch of Peers will pre sent a Ministerial majority in the Lords. Placards appeared on the walls, to-day, headed, “Shall People or Lords Rule?” calling a mass meeting at Arundal Hall to morrow, followed by monster open air de monstrations. It is rumored that the Duke of Cam bridge expresses openly his indignation at the radicalism of the Ministry, and hoped the Queen would refuse to sanction the co ercion of the Peers.

FOR THE CURE OF AGUE AND FEVER OR CHILLS AND FEVER, V n?HK proprietor of this celebrated medlclno just ly claims for it a superiority over all ever offered to the public for the safe, certain, speedy and permanent cure of Ague and Fever, or Chills and Fever, whether of short or long standing. He refers to the entire Western and Southwestern country to bear him testi mony to the truth of the assertion that in no case whatever will it fail to cure, if the directions are strictly followed and carried out. In agreat many cases a single dose has been sufficient for a cure, and whole families have been cored by a single bottle, with a perfect restoration of the general health. It is, however, prudent, and iu every caso more certain w enre, if its use Is continued in smaller doses for s week or two after the disease has been checked, more especially in difficult and long standing cases,— Usually, this medicine will not require any aid to keep the bowels in good order ; should the patient’ however, require a cathartic medicine after having taken three or four doses of the Tonic, a single dose of BULL’S VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS wi be sufficient.

I am doing a pretty large country practice, and have daily use lor some article of the kind. lam free to confess that I know of no remedy recommended liy tho ablest au thors that is so certain and speedy in its oftocts. On the contrary they are uncertain in the extreme. My object in writing yon is to find out upon what terms I can get the medicine directly from you. If I can 'gel it upon easy terms, I shall use a great deal of it.— I am aware that the use of such articles is contrary to the teachings and practice of a great majority of the regular line of M. D.’s, but I see no just cause or good sense in discarding a remedy which we know to be efficient, simply becanse we may be Ignorant of its combination. For my part, I shall make it a rule to use all andany means t» alleviate suffering human ity which I may be able to command—not hesi tating because some ore more ingenious than myself may have learned its effects first, and secured the sole right to seenre that knowledge. However, 1 am by no means an advocate or supporter ol the thousands of worthless nostrums that flood the country, that purport to cure till manner of disease to which li u man flesh is heir. Please reply soon, and inform mo of your best terms. I am, sir, most respectfully, JULIUS P. CLEMENT, M. D, For Sale by PLUMB 4b LEiTNER. BELL’S SARSAPARILLA.
