The Citt Charity Expenditures.—ln
view of the cramped condition of city
finances, the charity expenditures necessary
to relieve the necessities of the suffering
poor within its limits are becoming par
ticularly onerous. It will doubtless be a
satisfaction to city tax payers to know that
his ITonor Mayor Allen, with a view to the
shifting of this burden from the shoulders
of the city authorities, and placing it where
it rightly and justly belongs—on the county
authorities—is now laboring to induce the
Ordinary to take charge of the charity list,
and make such donations to the relief of
the city poor as he may be authorized by
law to afford from the county funds. That
officer recognizes fully the justice and pro
priety of thedemand, feelingthat the county
authorities have no right, under the law
regulating such matters, to saddle upon the
city of Augusta, in her corporate capacity,
the burden of expenditures required to meet
the large and increasing demands made
upon the city finances to relieve the wants
and necessities of applicants for food and
fuel. Applicants for charity and thesuffer
ing poor within the city limits are no less
entitled to their pro rata of the county fund
set apart for that purpose to the county
poor than those of like circumstances
beyond the corporate limits, nor are the
poor of the city any more the wards
of the city government than of the
county authorities. Because the city has
been accustomed to afford such relief to
its poor as was within its power is no
reason why the authorities should be ex
pected to accept the charge as a permanent
obligation. The laws of the State regulate
♦ his matter for the guidance of the county
authorities in the dispensation of a specific
fund to the relief of the poor, and behind
this regulation they have no legal right to
go. Custom to the contrary will not serve
a> a plea. It would be injustice to the city
tax payers to charge them with the entire
maintenance of the larger portion of the
dependent population of the county, in ad
dition to their contributions, by way of
county tax, to the general poor fund,
which is entirely under the control of the
countv authorities. ;
It is but right and proper that this mat
ter should be settled as the State law con
templates. From what we have learned, it
is probable that, the Ordinary will take
charge of the responsibility on tlie first, of
next month, as entirely a county matter,
relieving the city authorities and treasury
of a weight and eipendil lire which was
only witll 11 vlrvr tompn
. rarv relief to lb 1 * multiplied objects or
chnrify williln the city, and not as a per
manent charge.
APPOINTMENTS OF THE NORTH GEORGIA
Conference. —We publish in another
co'timn the Msr of appointments made by
the North Georgia Conference. To the
churches in this city 'he following preach
ers have been assigned: St. John’s, Rev. A.
T. Mann ; St. Janie’s, Rev. II 11. Parks ;
Asbnry, R'*v. C. W. Key; City Mission,
Rev. .1, Morris, Rev. IV W. Calhoun, smper
linmerary. The pastor assigned to St.
John’s Church, Rev. l>r. Mann, after several
years’ absence, returns to this city, where
he has fn previous years labored so accept
ably In advancing the interests of his
Church and the cause of Christianity, and
will be cordially welcomed by the many
friends and associates of his youth and
riper years. Dr. Mann lias just been trans
ferred from the Tenucssee Conference, hav
ing been stationed for the past year or two
at Memphis, where, as at. home, in this city,
he has achieved distinction as a pulpit
orator of great attainments. He was in
fluenced. as we learn, to seek a transfer hack
to Georgia from a desire to secure an ap
pointmcnt to this city, in order to be near
his father, Mr. John H. Mann, one of our
oldest and most respected citizens, being
now, as wo arc informed, beyond four-score
years.
A New Song. —A lady, who has had tin
opportunity of judging of its merits, sends
the following favorable critique of a recent
musical composition by Prof. John Wie
gand, of this city:
We have just, had the pleasure of hearing
a song replete with soul-stirring harmony,
beautiful chords, and which is on the
whole a nonpareil. For a long time the
public have been satisfied with a number
of comic songs excessively distasteful to
the ears of the refined, and totally unfit for
parlor use. Here is a treat in store for the
music-loving public. The song to which
we refer is “ Do I Love Thee !” words by
J. G. Saxe, and music by John Weigand.—
The latter, a native of Germany, has been a
resident of the South for many years. To
him arc we indebted for this gem, which
tells more eloqueutly than language of the
unusual musical genius with which this
talented composer is gifted. His superb
performance on the organ at St. Patrick’s
Church, iu this city, where he Is organist,
shows that he has succeeded iu making
himself master of more than one instru
ment. Even ng>w, the memory of sounds
mournfully sad, yet grandly beautiful,
steals over and reminds us of his masterly
execution on the violin. We should con
sider ourselves fortunate in having this
talented gentleman in our midst. Ladies
who are anxious to add anew and pleasing
song to their repertoire should avail them
selves of this opportunity, and procure this
charming song from Schreiner’s book and
music store. We earnestly hope that it
may not be long before the public is again
treated to a morceau by the gifted and tal
ented composer, John Weigand.

December 14,1869.
Misprint of Name. —We hope our
friend, Dr. Casey, will not get “ Gussy"
angry at the misprint of his name, yester
day morning, iu the list of officers of the
Augusta and Hartwell Railroad Compauy.
This class of errors will creep into news
papers, despite the most watchful care.
Fine Meat. —John P. Foster, at the head
of the Lower Market, issues his proclama
tion for Saturday, promising a display of
the best meats at reasonable prices. His
list of articles is extensive, and every appe
tite can be appeased at his well-stocked
stall.
Personal. —Maj. C. E. McGregor, editor
of the Warrenton Clipper, visited ns yester
dayevening. He will re plain in the city
several days, and will make himself visible
to our merchants and business men. The
dipper circulates in a section the trade of
which is of vast interest to Augusta.
River Up—Within the past two days,
the Savannah river has risen nearly two
feet, and is now in fair boating condition.
Operations of the Central’Road.—
From the recent report of Col. W. M- Wad
ley, President of the Central Railroad and
P anking Company, we extract the follow
ing gratifying exhibit of the operations of
this corporation for the past year :
Office of the C. R. R. and )

Savannah, Ga., December 4, 1869.)
To the Stockholders:

Leaving a balance of $745 44
after paying all expenditures on account of
the Road and Bank. In this connection it
is proper to remark that under the head of
expenditures on account of the Road, there is
included the purchase of new engines, cars
and rails ; and payments have been made
for Bank in liquidation, depot lots and right
of way to new depot in the City of Macon,
purchase of steamboats Julia St. Clair and
Bandy Moore, contingent expenses, and
appropriated for rails to be delivered, the
sum of $349,048 96; leaving nothing that
is known to be paid at a future day, and
thus placing the company upon a more
substantial basis than ever before since the
war.
From the report of General Superintend -
ent Rogers we extract the following para
praphs indicating the condition of the road :
“ From a recent examination of the per
manent way, I am satisfied that it is in a
far better condition than at any time since
the war, except a portion of the rails, whiclt
are much worn. This has resulted from
the fact that iron ordered, to lay during the
past year, arrived too late/to be put down,
and is now on hand, but being put in the
track as fast as possible. It will be seen
by the report of the Road Master that, in
his judgment, the estimate heretofore made
of twenty-five miles of new rails, per year,
will hardly be sufficient to keep pace with
the deterioration, especially if our traffic
continues as heavy as during the past two
or three years. In this connection I desire
especially to call your attention to the rapid
wear of rails made by reroliing. and more
particularly those that, were rerolled at the
Tredegar Works, of Richmond, Virginia.
If no better rails can be made by reroliing,
then it is clearly our interest to sell our old
rails and purchase those made from new
iron.”
“ The use of steel rails Is now being tried
on many roads at the North, and we have
made a trial of them at Macon, on our track
front the passenger depot. Thus far the
experiment appears to jnstify our expecta
tions, attd with a tonnage equal to the past
year, I am disposed to think it would be
economy to use them, especially on all of
our heavy grades and sharp curves.”
By the report of the Road Master, you
will be informed as to the extent of cross
tie track that has been substituted for that
laid with string pieces. This track is.
without doubt, much safer than that laid
with string pieces, but it is, at the same
time, much harder on the rolling stock.—
Yet, with the fish bar joining, now being
wholly used by others, a very smooth and
elastic track can be made, and I have no
doubt will be found far preferable to using
a continuous bearing, especially in view of
thn gmwiug oourriijr of ti l><>*- alvng; Otir
line.
The work of restoring the warehouses
along the line of road, which were destroy
ed by General Sherman; has been prose
cuted during tiie year, and it is recom
mended that, this work be continued, so as
to obliterate, during tlie ensuing’year, the
last remains of Sherman’s m irch along the
line of our road. The cost of those, struc
tures, as well as all other renewals, lni
gone lufo our general expense account.
By the report of the Master of Machine
ry, it will he seen that, our engines are in a
better condition than at, the beginning of
the year, and that we have added three to*
our stock. It will, I tliink, require the nd
dition of at least three new engines yeo’iy.
t ■ keep up onr stock and meet the demands
upon this department.
A Policeman Arrf.sted for Assault
and Battery —Yesterday afternoon po
liceman Mahoney iyas arraigned before
Justices Snead and Reynolds, sitting in as
sociation, to answer a charge of assault
and battery, brought by a negro man whom
he had ejected from the Union depot, on
Tuesday night, in conformity with a city
ordinance protecting passengers from the
annoyance of unauthorized drummers. On
the examination no evidence was develop
ed to show that policeman Mahoney had
exceeded his instructions or duty in carry
ing out the provisions of the very excellent
ordinance under which lie was acting, and
the case* against him was dismissed at the
cost of the prosecutor.
Newcomb’s Minstrels. —This troupe
again delighted a fine audience, last night,
with one of their excellent burnt cork de.
lineauons of negro character. Their songs,
dances, and jests, as heretofore, afforded
complete satisfaction to the audience. The
Newcombs wear well, and have preserved
the favorable impression created in their
behalf on their first appearance. To-night
is the last but one on which our citizens
will have an opportunity to laugh and grow
fat over the highly amusing entertainments
which they present.
Macon and Augusta Railroad. —We
learn that track laying will soon be an
nounced on the gap between Milledgevilie
and Macon. The first ship load of rails is
expected to arrive at Charleston about the
first of January next, and very soon after
another cargo at Brunswick to be trans
ported over the Brunswick Road to Macon,
when the track laying will be pushed for
ward from both ends of the road. Stock
holders in this company will find an impor
tant notice to them in this morning’s Con
stitutionalist.
Arrival of the Car rie.— The steamer
Carrie arrived from Savannah yesterday
evening, about half-past 6 o’clock, with a
very heavy through freight, with thirty
bales of way cotton, and about 1,500 bushels
of corn. She will leave on her return trip
at 3 o’clock this afternoon. We regret to
state that Capti Johnson, commander of the
Carrie, was met on his arrival with the sad
intelligence of the death of his infant moth
erless child, which occurred at 10 o’clock
yesterday morning.
Col. Milledge Resigned.— The Atlanta
Constitution learns that Col. John Milledge,
the United States District Attorney, has
tendered his resignation in favor of Col.
Akerman, that gentleman’s disabilities hav
ing been removed. Col. Akerman received
the appointment originally, and it was
confirmed; but he was unable to act in
consequence of his political disability.—<-
Col. Milledge took the office temporarily, to
give it up when Col. Akerman could act.
With the Atlanta
Under the head of personal, the Rome
Courier, of Tuesday, says: “We are pleased
to learn that Mr. Goodloe Yancey has be
come connected with the Atlanta Intelli
gencer. Mr. Yancey is a man of Tfonsufif
mate talent, and we welcome hiffi cordially
to the realm of newspaperdom. We sim
ply mention that he is a son of the cele
brated Wm. Yancey, to say that he is a son
worthy his sire.”
The Way the Money Goes.—Read the
following extract from a letter received
from New York:
“One of the largest" fur emporiums
which I visited was that of , on Broad
way, the proprietor of which Informed me
that he was manufacturing, to the order of
a lady, a cloak and muff of Russian sable,
the cloak alone costing $15,000, and a.pro
portionate amount for the muff!
“ Upon making known a desire to learn
the name of the lady, he remarked; ‘Oh,
its only a merchant’s wife.’
“Yet people wonder at ‘so many failures
in New York city.’ Shoddy has a deal to
answer for.”
A Coal Convention. —Superintendent
Hulbert has issued invitations, inviting at
tendance of those interested, at a meeting
of coal miners, dealers and proprietors of
manufacturing establishments using coal,
and of railway managers, to be held in At
lanta, Tuesday, December 21st, A869, to
take into consideration the importance of
the coal trade, and for the purpose of con
ferring together as to the number of cars
needed for the business, and the best and
quickest method of supplying them.
Raid of Mule Thieves.— On Wednes
day night the stable of Mrs. Anna Doe,
just beyond South Boundary, in “ Brayton
ville,” was entered and a mule stolen. The
staple was drawn from the door, thus ob
viating the breaking of the lock. It is
supposed that the thief or thieves went in
the direction of Waynesboro, Burke county.
Dr. Walker’s California Vinegar
Bitters. —lt affords us pleasure to be able
to state that a wholesale agency for the
sale of this great medical discovery has
been established in this city. From ac
counts received from all parts of the United
States, we would think that this prepara
tion is bound to supersede all other com
pounds commonly known as “ bitters.” A
great recommendation to them is that they
are not a fancy drink, made of rum, whisky,
&c., which seems to be the composition of
most of those preparations, and which in
too many instances lead the tippler on to
drunkenness and ruin.
Those enterprising, druggists, Messrs.
Tutt & Land, have been appointed whole
sale agents for these bitters, and will be
enabled to supply the trade at proprietor’s
prices. declo-4
Girardey’s Opera House.— For the
pleasure of those who may visit Augusta
prior to Christmas, it is respectfully an
nounced that “ The Galton English
Opera Troupe ’’ will begin a series of Eng
lish Operas at the elegant new Opera House,
on Monday, December 20 f h, continuing
during the week.
The price of admission will be moderate.
The Operas will be sparkling and humor
ons, as well as modern, and Mr. Ford
vouches for their consciencious rendition.
Miss Susie Galton is a niece of Louisa
Pyne. In England", she has appeared before
the Queen, and in this country before audi
ences of the finest critical taste, and has
always won the highest meed of praise.
Her “ Home Sweet Home” is a marvel of
melody. •
Parties residing on the lines of railroad
to this city, desirous to visit the Opera,
can, by arrangement, obtain return tickets
for one fare. dec!6-4
Horses and Mules.— Mr. C. Toler, at
his Kentucky and Tennessee stables, has
one of the largest and finest lot of horses
and mules ever offered for sale in Augus:a,
consisting of 350 head, and rating in prices,
for horses, from SIOO to SI,OOO, and for
mules, from SIOO to $250 each, and to
which he invites the special attention of
his friends and the public. Now is the
time to purchase good animals at a fair
price. In his stock are a few fine small
Texas ponies, direct from Texas, that will
be sold cheap. dec 15-3
