to-morrow (Saturday) night.
Meeting of Democratic City Executive
Committee.
Augusta, Ga., November 4,1869.
At a meeting of the members elect of the
Democratic City Executive Committee,
held this evening, at the office of Henry
Jones, Esq., on motion, the following offi
cers were unanimously elected:
Geo. T. Barnes, Esq., Chairman.
E. H. Rogers, Vice-Chairman.

tee what course to pursue in regard to the

An Election for a Democratic Nomi
nee- —The polls were opened at the City
Hall, in Atlanta, in regular election style,
with clerks and managers, to give Demo
cratic voters the privilege to select a can
didate for the mayoralty of the city. The
managers report the result as follows :
.Tames F. Alexander 363
William Ezzard 156
E. J. Roach -..105
D. F. Hammond 1
The Constitution does not consider the
vote a fair expression of the choice of the
party, and says:
“The return of the managers shows less
than 700 votes polled out of 4,000 Demo
cratic voters. We learn that early in the
day the candidates disagreed, and W’*h
drew from the field. Subsequently, Dr.
Alexander re-entered the field, and contin
ued the campaign until the close of the
polls. Tills cannot be considered a fair ex
pression of the choice of the Democratic
party, and without expressing any opinion
to who would have been, or ought to
h.-Bve been the nominee, we simply remark
that we hope that, the movement to har
monize Ihe conflicting claims of the several
candidates in a v prove successful.”
Nor will this manner of selecting a can
diditte result otherwise in Augusta, if at
tempted Voters do not. care to be troubled
with tivo elections, when one is sufficient.
Fooling the Police. —The Journal and
Messenger relates that the police of Macon
are being subjected to numbers of practical
jokes. The latest, since the murder “ sell,”,
is that gotten oft’ by a prominent shoe
dealer, who, meeting an officer on Mul
berry, sent him some six or eight blocks to
his house, to prevent the boys from “chunk
ing” bis ducks to death, in his pond at
Spring Garden. It is needless to say that
the ducks jo question are “decoys” or
woo-Ten ducks. As “misery likes company,”
this officer, finding himself fooled, “ toled
off” a comrade to see the ducks swim.—
After watching them for fifteen or twenty
minutes, without being able to perceive the
slightest wiggle of an abreviated tail, the
second officer commenced to scent a good
sized “ rodent,” and began to move leisure
ly away, with the remark that he believed
“ the darned things were too lazy to move!”
Since then, neither has heafd the last of
•“ them dux.”
Augusta Again Reaping Edgefield’s
L-Oss. —We find the following paragraph in
the Edgefield Advertiser :
“ In /mother column will be found a card
from out honored townsman, Wra. P. But
ler, Esq. and his name are so identified
with EdgHlekl, that it will indeed’ seem
strange when l'e shall no longer live among
us. And yet that time is near at hand. We
regret deeply to announce that he-is going
to" leave us. Augusta is to enroll him
among her citizens.
“ As for the establishment of H. h. Rus
sell & Cos., with which Mr. Butler designs
identifying himself, it is one of absolute
•splendor and perfection. Certainly the
chief thoroughfare of Augusta has no
greater ornament than the great and beau
tiful drygoods store of H. F. Russell*
Cos . with its elegant and inviting appear
ance, without and within.”
The Peh.tttry Case.— Notwithstanding
the opinion expressed that the case pending
against Foster Blodgett in the United
States Circuit Court at Savannah would
not be pressed by the Government, a couple
of citizens of Augusta, summoned as wit-
B6S5fSi have obeyed the summons—-one
going down on Wednesday night and
another last night—in order to be present
when the case is called. There can be no
pretext for a nolle pros, on account of the
absence of witnesses, a9 others summoned
from Augusta are prepared to respond upon
the first intimation that their presence will
be required.
A Missing Mule Found.— Mr. James
Du-uning, of South Carolina, was in the
city yssterdny morning, in search of a mule
alleged to hare passed from his possession
in consequence of misplaced confidence in a
young man named Benjamin Bowers, who
had agreed to fide the mule to Hamburg,
but who, instead, sold the animal to Mr.
Thomas Murray, at his stable on Ellis
street, for SIOO. Mr. Dunning sued out a
possessory warrant, yesterday morning,
before Justice Ells for the recovery of the
mule. Mr. Murray gave bond for his ap
pearance with the property for a hearing
.on the 15th instant.
Koo^>ma nschoop has returned to San
Francisco. He will forward one hundred
Chinamen next week to work on the Mem

are 8,000 Chinamen in the State out of em
ployment, and that more are returning to
China than are, at present, coming here,
owing to the approaching national holiday
of the empire. What a lucky happening of
a holiday.

their part.
Death of James R. Hood.— James R.
Hood died in Chattanooga, last week, of
consumption. He formerly edited the
Chattanooga Gazette, and for one term was
a member of the Tennessee House of Repre
sentatives. The deceased resided in this
city for a length of time, and was known

Painful Accident to Mayor Obear.—
We are pained to announce that our worthy
Mayor. George S. Obear, Esq., met with a
painful accident yesterday afternoon, which
though it mav uot result seriously, will at
least temporarily disable him from attend
ing to his official duties.
While on his return from the Fair
Grounds, in company with his son, George;
Jr., and while descending the hill on the
other side of the Vineviile Branch, the
breeching of the buggy in which he was
riding broke, and the vehicle running upon
the horse, frightened him, and caused him
to run into a gnllv, turning the buggy com
pletely over, and throwing the occupant"
out.
Mr. Obear was thrown so violently to
the ground as to dislocate his left shoulder,
and fracture the bone just above the elbow.
His face was also had I v scratched. Fie was
picked tin and carried into a house near bv.
where his injuries were ascertained. He
was conveyed to his residence as soon as
possible, where lie received prompt surgical
attention—'he dislocation reduced and the
broken arm set. At nine o’clock last night,
he was comparatively easy, and doing as
well as could be expected under the eir
comstanees.

The Blodgett Case.—We perceive that
some of our interior contemporaries state
that the perjury case of Foster Blodgett
has been set down for trial on a certain
day during the coming term of the United
States Circuit Court. This is a mistake.
No time has been fixed upon for the trial
of Blodgett, and we may go further and
say he. never will be tried, and we do so
without hesitation. We hope some good
reason For the failure will be given to the
public by those who understand the case bet
ter than ourselves. Whether this case shall
ever come to trial or not, the verdict of a
grand jury of Union men will ever stand
against the accused, and it will be confirm
ed by his avoidance of a trial. If he felt
he was innocent, he would demand one, and
the Court would have no power to refuse.

Incendiaries at Work. —On Friday,
October 22d, between four and five o’clock
iu the afternoon, some malicious person en
tered the premises of the Rev. S. A. Ed
wards, living near the 14-Mile Post, on the
Central Railroad, and applied fire to a large
double barn, containing nearly his entire
year’s crop of corn and fodder. .Imme
diately his stables took fire, and in a very
short time his barn, with its contents, and
stables, were laid in ashes. The tracks of
the perpetrator were plain to be seen where
he came and went, and were followed suffi
ciently far so as to give good reason to
suspicion the perpetrator. 31 r. Edwards’
loss is estimated at $2,000.
[Savannah Republican.
The building used as a Court House in
Beaufort, S. C., was entirely consumed by

To THE CITITKNS OF GEORGIA.— Coin plaints
having been received from leading physicians
and lamilies in Georgia of the sale of cheap
imitations of my Scbeidam Aromatic Schrapps,
I beg to notify the public that the agents of the
undersigned, Messrs. W. H. Tutt & Land, of
Augusta, have been requested to institute in
quiry on the subject, and to forward to him the
names of such parties as they may ascertain to
be engaged in the atrocious system of decep
tion.
In conclusion, the undersigned would say
that he has produced from under the hands of
the most distinguished men of science in
America proof's innumerable of the purity and
medicinal excellence of the Scbeidam Aromatic
Schnapps. He, therefore, feels it a duty he
owes to his fellow-citizens generally, to the
medical profession, and the sick, to denounce
and expose the charlatans who counterfeit these
evidences of identity, and be calls upon the
press and the public to aid him in his efforts to
remedy so great an evil.
