Job Printing AND BLANK BOOK MANUFACTORY' HAVING THOROUGHLY REFITTED OUR JOB PRINTING AND BOOK BINDING DEPARTMENTS, WE ARE NOW FULLY PREPARED TO DO ALL KINDS OF JOB PRINTING IN SUPE RIOR STYLE, AT SHORT NOTICE; TO MAKE TO ORDER BLANK BOOKS OF EVERY DESCRIPTION, AND TO BIND MUSIC AND PAMPHLETS IN THE VERY BEST MANNER. STOCKTON & 00. Traveling Agent. —Mr. J. T. Johnson is authorized to receive and receipt for sub scriptions and advertisements lor the Con stitutionalist. , Jon Printing —Having just received a full supply of superior paper, cards, en velopes, &c., the 'Constitutionalist Job Office is execute with prompt ness all orders for Jon Work in the best manner and on the-Ariosi reasonable terms. A- HanOsome'lmprovements.— The build ing of Dr. L. Ai- Dugas, on Broad street, one division occupied by Mr. Thos Sweeny, as a dry goods Store, and the other by our friend and advertiser, Mr. D. L. Fullerton, as a stove and tihwiire depot, since the ad dition of new irhn fronts and the applica tion of a bright and attractive coat of paint, is a decided ornament to the city. The obstructing branches of the adjacent trees have been cut away affording an excellent view to the passer-by, even on the opposite side of the street; of the glittering tinware and the latest and most approved patterns • of cooking, parlor find office stoves display ed in the very complete establishment of Mr. Fullerton, .Whose prices are just about as attractive as the appearance of his place of business. 1; The iron front to which we alluded, some time since, as in process of erection at the clothing establishment of Cooke, is also nearly completed, together with other im provements which will give increased con venience and attractive embellishment to that building. We are informed by Mr. W. Blanchard, the manager of Cooke’s Clothing Store, that bis stock will be re turned to the old stand during the early part of the present week. The iron front at the millinery establish ment of Mrs. Smith, with the addition of tasty show windows, is completed, the con tractor, Mr. Luke Rice, having just occu pied a single week on the work. It will be a handsome addition to that portion of the city. Another very handsome impovement is on the front of Mr. Henry Myer’s building, which, by the painter’s brush, is made to assume the similitude of granite fronts in each of his storehouses, occupied by Messrs. Myers, Sou & Cos., Mr. Josiali Miller and Mr. .i. Prager. Firing Into a Railroad Train. —The way freight train ou the Georgia Railroad, due here at 2:30, p. m., yesterday, was fired Into near the Three Mile Post, by a couple of white men, who boldly showed them selves, presenting their guns and firing into the cab car. Conductor Whit. Edwards and a lady passenger were in the car, and were each struck. The charges were of small shot, but were buried in the neck of the lady, and penetrated the clothing of the conductor. We are glad to know, how ever, that no serious wounds were inflicted, aud that the shot can be extracted without any severe damage to the unfortunate lady who was made the yictim of this infamous act. The engineer is of opinion that he re- ■ cognized one of the men, whose name has been furbished to the city police, a squad of whom have gone in pursuit of the would be assassins. It is to be hoped that the villains who could thus jeopard the lives of defenseless operatives and passengers on a passing railroad train may be speedily arrested and brought to the punishment they so richly deserve. __ Dramatic. —In the New York Clipper, of a recent date, we find a paragraph to the effect that “ O. 11. Collins and Mr. Morse, having organized a dramatic company for Charleston, S. C., and Savannah, Ga., open ing at the former city on October 4th, are requested to report to Thompson & Riggs, dramatic agents, in this city, on the 24th inst., and sail from this city on the 25th In stant. The party consists of Kate Ray mond, Annie Levering, Alice Brooks, Ber tie Maywood, Ada Lawrence,HarryGuion, Walter Benn, Maurice B. Pike, Mark Read, James Smith, Hudson McGregor, J. Jones, L. V. Bowes, H. Cooke, Hairy Morse and O. B. Collins.” This is the troupe with which Messrs. Collins & Morse propose to entertain our citizens during the dramatic season. Cannot some of our English Opera Troupes give us a call this Winter? Au gusta is a good “ stand ” for Operas at all times, but English Opera especially. The attention Os John T. Ford, of Baltimore, or John P. Smith, of New York, is called to this query. Magistrate Appointed. —Gov. Scott bas appointed James A. Talbert Magis trate for Edgefield county. Tiie School Question Settled.— Having been assailed by a virulent Radical sheet for his implied condemnation of mixed schools in a late letter, Rev. B. Beats, D. D., general agent of the Peabody Educational Fund, addresses a letter, bearing date White Sulphur Springs, August 38, to Hon. It. M. Lusher, formerly State Superintend ent of Education in Louisiana. In this letter Dr. Sears settles the question thus: “If the law requires mixed schools, and the children, whether white t>r black, generally attend them, we shall 1 have no difficulty in our work. Bnt if the State supports only mixed schools, ant the white children do not attend them, toe should naturally aid, not the colored children, who enjoy, exclusively, the benefit of the public school money, but the white chil dren who are left to grow up in ignorance. If it be said that the white chilcken ought to attend the mixed schools, and that it is their own fault, or that of their parents, if they do not, we reply that we are not called ou to pronounce judgment on that subject. Let the people themselves settle that ques tion.” It is further stated by Mr. Sears that Mr. Peabody “ has read all that I have writtm npon this subject, and approves of every word." Another Donation by Mr. Georje Peabody. —ln Baltimore, on the 22d h stant, Mr. Peabody visited the Peabofly Institute, in that city, where he met tie trustees, aud made an additional donatiai of $300,000 of Tennessee six per cent, bomi, and SIOO,OOO of Virgiuia State six per cet. bonds. This sum is designed by the ch nor for the erection of a building similar to aud adjoining the present institute the site for which is already purchased. Any remainder of the above amount, aft(f the construction of the new building, is to be applied to the endowment of the galleiy of painting and sculpture. In a letter making the donajon, Mr. Pea body refers to the pecuniary JifficuJties of Tennessee, but expresses confflence in the great natural resources of the State and the high sense of honor of her people, aud ad vises the trustees to keep theie bonds for the present, as they are imresging in value, and when necessary tc dispose of the highest-priced United State; bonds held by them. A Magnificent 3tock. —Messrs. H. F. Russell & Cos. are now prepared to exhibit to public inspection a magnificent stock of dry goods for the Fall and Winter trade. With long experience, accomplished taste and adequate resources in every particular, these gentlemen are prepared to offer the most attractive inducements to both city and country purchasers, in quality, style and price. We confidently comnjend their present elegant stock to the examination of the public, assured that it will be found particularly complete in quantity and quality of all the latest and most attractive dry aod dress goods. A Fine Rain. —Yesterday morning, at an early hour, the long-desired rain com mended falling, and we were blessed with frequent showers throughout the day. At dark the volume increased, and we now congratulate ourselves witji having re ceived a most timely and copious rain, witli prospects of a further continuance of the blessing. Its continuance will soon reinstate river navigation between this port aud Savannah, necessarily suspended during the past few weeks, and reinvigorate the exhausted wells, springs aud water courses in tins section. Small Notes for the People.— ln or der to supply the pressing demand for small notes for circulation, the Comptroller of the Currency is wiliiag to receive notes of large denominations from national banks (their own issue), and give them in ex change notes of smaller denominations, with as little delay as possible. Every fa cility will be afforded to Urn banks in mak ing such exchanges that the public may be accommodated with small notes. Internal lypiiovF.MENm— With a de sire to advance the internal improvements so essential to the development of the thrift of the people of the city and State, Messrs. M. Hyams & Cos. have discarded all outside issues, and are now devoting their euergy, capital and experience to that end entirely, as witness the ffne stock of groceries ad vertised in the Constitutionalist tfiis morning. Certificates of Railroad Stock. —C. 11. Manson, Secretary aud Treasurer of the Charlotte, Columbia aud Augusta Railroad, ou application at Columbia, Is prepared to issue certificates of in said company, in lieu of the stock of the Charlotte and South Carolina and the Columbia and Augusta Railroads, in accordance with the terms of consolidation, announced iu an other column. There Need be no stronger endorsement of silver ware than the remark one fre quently hears, “ Oh ! it’s almost as good as Kirk’s.” The old and extensive establish ment of Samuel Kirk & Son has always been one of the features of Baltimore, and their watches and jewelry are as reputable as their standard silver ware. See card in another column. Messrs. Wm. B. Cooper, Jr., & Cos., of New York, being direct importers, are en abled to offer all kinds of Bagging, Burlaps, Gunny Bags, &c., at inside rates, and in lots to suit purchasers. A most reliable house, with every facility of guaranteeing inducements on immediate orders. See ad vertisement. Receiving Stolen Cotton. —Alonzo (colored), was arraigued before Jus= tice Ells, yesterday, charged with receiv ing stolen cotton to the amount of one hundred pounds, from the field of Mr. Robert C. Easterling. Convicted, and sen tenced to pay a flue of $25 and costs, or to labor three months on the public works. Hog Thieves on the Rampage.—On Friday night, some enterprising thief en tered the premises of the City Hospital, and stole a valuable porker from Mr. John M. Bunch. The thief, it seems, was smart enough to bribe ftn unusually severe dog kept on the premises. Crops in Abbeville. —The Abbeville (S. C.) Press says that in that district the crops both of cotton and corn are short.— Probably not more than a half a crop will be made. The streams are running low pastures are destroyed—no turnips are planted, and still there is no rain. Larceny op Silk.— Emma Griffin, a colored kleptomaniaist, was before Justice Ells, yesterday morning, charged with stealing nineteen yards of white silk from Mr. Thomas Flannigan. Plead guilty, and received sentence of two moißlis’ labor on the public workfl. Recorder’s Court. —Robert Barker was arraigned yesterday morning tor violation of the 18th section. Plead notguilty. Found guilty, and fined $5 and cost, or ten days on the chain gang. The Young Man of the Period — His Make-Up. —Quite a number of young gen tlemen of New York, who have just return ed from an extended trip abroad, have brought with them the latest style of cos tume worn at the weddings of the elite. The Mail gives the following particulars: The coat consists of a dark blue cloth of medium length, with considerable roll of 'lapel, lined with dark blue silk. Buttons are of brass, aud unornamented. The vest is ofwhite satin, cut low, single-breasted, with an inner lining of light blue silk, pro truding a little over the opening of the same: The pants are of a light lavender shade, with faint stripe on side, and cut loose. The boots are of patent leather, with high heels and toes rounded ; shirts are embroidered with numerous designs, underneath is worn a pink silk shirt, which shows through, causing a pretty ef fect, and admits of a better view of the workmanship. Collars are turned down, with rounded points, and ties are of white satin, made in various styles, and rather longer than usual. We doubt not but that the style will be introduced here before the closing of the matrimonial campaign this season. Dead. —Prof. Gennarie, a competent music teacher, employed by Miss Mary Ann Buie for her Edgefield school, is dead; but Miss B. has made arrangements by which his place in her establishment will be promptly filled. Steamboat Sold. —The steamer Hard Times was sold at a constable’s public sale, yesterday morning, under engineer’s lien. Mr. James Shields, of Savannah, was the purchaser, at $l5O. TO SKEPTICS. The almost daily receipt of voluntary., testimonials from every part of the cour try, from Physicians, Clergymen, old ahi . young, male and female, is sufficient to convince the most skeptical that DR. TUTT’S EXPECTORANT is the most valuable LUNG BALSAM of the age; many wonderful cures have been perform ed by it, as may be seen by hundreds of certificates in the hands of the proprietor. Try it, and you wiil doubt no longer. sep2l-d&clw Extraordinary Arrivals at Russell’s Hotel.—A colored woman, named Mary Stile, confined in the county jail, was safe ly delivered, yesterday morning, of a son and daughter. The daughter is as black as the ace of spades, and the son is as white as any one of the descendants of the Puri tans who landed at Plymouth Rock a long time ago. —Savannah Republican, % 25th. Another Set of Triplets. —We under stand that a colored woman residing in Yamacraw was safely delivered, yesterday morning, of two boys and one girl, all woil developed and healthy', and that the moth er and children are doing as well as could reasonably be expected. . [Savannah Republican, 25 th. BY TELEGRAPH. [Special Dispatch to the Constitutionalist. NEW YORK. New York, September 25.—G01d Board and Gold Clearing Bank closed. But little doing in Stocks. Government Gold sold at about 134. We think everything will be brighter next week. Hoyt & Gardner. [Associated Press Dlspalciies. WASHINGTON. Washington, September 25—Noon.—It is stated that the President, on reading ac counts strongly committing the Executive to interfere In favor of the extremists in Texas and Mississippi, said to parties of his official household that the reports were not substantially true. The facts are, that the President will allow the Secretaries to act their pleasure in their several depart ments. This will throw the patronage of the Post Office, Treasury and Attorney General for the extremists, and the Secreta ries of State, Navy, War and Interior, if they interfere at all, will favor the Con servative Republicans. This rougli state ment of the situation is the closest approx imation possible, /The best opinion persists in asserting neutrality in the highest quar ters. Washington, September 25—P. 3)1. Revenue to day, $400,000. The Register of the Treasury lias gone to Pennsylvania to stump for Geary. Hoar has been applied to for his opinion regarding the power fff the Virginia Legis lature to elect Senators. M. Billi, the new Danish Minister, was presented to the President to-day. The President appointed Nathan Patton Collector of Customs for the District of Texas, and Wnb R. Moore Assessor for the Second District of Texas. Twenty-five thousand dollars of fraction al currency were forwarded to, each, Charleston and New Orleans. Major General Reynolds has addressed a letter to President Grant, dated September 4th, In which, after speaking of political aflairs in Texas he says: “ The platform of the two wings of the Republican party are the same. The Radical wing act out their professions of adherence to the reconstruc tion laws of Congress, and present for office men who are qualified under these laws. The Conservative wing frequently nominate men for office who are known .to be dis qualified under the reconstruction acts of Congress, aud present for office men who are qualified under these laws. The Con servative wiug frequently nominate men for office who ape kpown to be disqualified under the reconstruction law ß , hfft who are also known to be acceptable to the Democrats. The success of the A. J. Ham ilton faction, as will be produced by Demo cratic votes, will be the defeat of Republic anism in Texas, and will put the State in the hands of the very men who, during the entjre period of the rebellion, exerted every nerve io destroy the Union, and who have uniformly opposed the reconstrqction laws with a persistency worthy of a better cause.” NEW YORK. Niagara Falls, September 25. —The horses attached to the carriage containing a gentleman and four ladies become un manageable. The gentleman jumped oft' and escaped. The carriage and horses, with the ladies, went over the bank, fifty feet. One was killed gnd one fatally hurt. The others were terribly bruised. The party belongs to Providence Rhode Island. New York, September 25.—A broker named Solomon Wahler suicided to-day.— Cause, gold losses. The Assistant Treasurer accepted three million dollars of five-twenties offered to day at from one hundred ond sixteen and seventeen to one hundred and eighteen and eight-one hundredths. The amount bid %yas seven and a half million dollars. It is almost impossible to get money at any price—seven, with half commission, freely had for turning stocks. The houses reported yesterday as hav ing suspended are still in the same condi tion, and, it is rumored, will not be able t 6 go on.
