Serenade to Ex-Governor Vance.—
Last night, between 10 and 11 o’clock, the
Augusta Amateur Brass Band, with a
large number of citizens, assembled at the
Planters’ Hotel to honor this distinguished
patriot and statesman of the “ Old North
State.” After the band had discoursed two
or three pieces of music iu admirable style,
loud and prolonged calls were made for the
ex-Governor.
In response to the enthusiastic call, Mr.
Roswell King appeared upon the- balcony
and introduced Governor Vance, assuring
the assemblage that the compliment ex
tended was well deserved by him of whom,
as Governor of North Carolina, it had been
said that he committed but one fault—that
he did not hang Governor Holden.
Governor Vance responded, acknowledg
ing the compliment as exceedingly gratify
ing. Alluding to the great political sin
•with which he had been charged, because
he did not permit Benning’s Georgia Bri
gade to hang Governor Holden, he would
not do so again. He was an improvised
messenger from North Carolina to Geor
gia. Old North Carolina was no longer
Rip Van Winkle—she was wide awake
and full of fleas. During the war she had
been content to fight by the side of her sis
ter States, butliad now established the right
to go in advance, and set an example for
Georgia and for all the Southern States.
The distinguished speaker then traced the
political history of his State since the war,
adverting to the defeat of the Democracy,
who fought boldly and failed as men and
took fresh courage. The people would not,
however, be satisfied unless the reconstruc
tion measures had a fair test. In 1888 thirty
thousand voters had stayed away from the
polls and the present Governor and consti
tution was fastened upon the State. In two
years those elected under it had come to
an ignominious and derserved end. They
had voted .$24,000,000 ostensibly for rail
roads in bonds, which they sold at from
fifty cents on the dollar to fifty cents a
basket-full. They had collected $300,000
by direct taxation fora school fund, with
which they had promised to educate the
colored people’s children, all of which, to
gether with the school fund of the afore
time, had been expended in support of a
State militia, or standing army, which
they had called out. They had failed to
build a mile of railroad, failed to provide
schools—failed in everything, and let loose
upon the people a standing army, which
was the feather that broke the camel’s
back. The people had risen in their
might, and the only officer on a gen
eral ticket had been elected by 5,000
majority, and the best of all, had car
ried the I.egislal nre. The Radicals stunk
before they died. As soon as the Legisla
ture convened, North Carolina would take
her proper position, and again be control
ccl by virtue and intelligence. There was
nothing seed red by the recent victory but
tale—not a fierit in the treasury, amt
VitJfhtedlt to purchase a brandy smash m
Broadway ; but .the State had
been got back. T ie speafcerfillustrated this
point, by telling the anecdote of the preach
er who sent, out his hutiu his congregation
to take up a 'and when his tile
was returned Ahptiferiftftllcd upon the con
gregation to unite in thankful prayer for
the safe return of*the hat. North Carolina
had got ter hut hack, and all he could say
was for Georgia to go and do likewise—she
might, get itback ;didn’t know whether she
could or not. One tiling Georgia could not
begin to do—show as great thieves as
North Carolina, where there were men who
could steal the nails from the hind shoes
of a kicking mule. In achieving her vic
tory, North Carolina did not elect uncer
tain men, but fought the battle boldly upon
principle. Did not deceive the colored
people ; told them her people were opposed
to their enfranchisement, but that while
their rights were conferred by State and
Federal law, they should be respected.—
The Legislature, when it convened, intend
ed to show them that every right would be
secured to them—would show them that
Southern gentlemen were more to be trust
ed than carpet-baggers and scalawags.
The speaker adverted to the Important
election pending in Georgia, and hoped for a
victory similar to that achieved by North
Carolina. Asa means of achieving victo
ry, his State had abstained from all acts
of violence, her young men had been kept
quiet, and the oppression of the .Radicals
endured, and now some of the perpetra
tors of the outrages upon the people
were in jail, looking through iron bars.—
Commended this example to Georgia, who
iiad a similar victory to win. At this
point the speaker adverted to the heavy
“ runs ” made upon the North Carolina
troops during the war, ail of which had
uow changed, and in connection related
the war anecdote of a member of a
Virginia regiment being taunted by a
North Carolina soldier for failure of
his regiment to capture a battery which
the North Carolinians afterward carried,
which drew from the Virginian the
retort, “ Yes, d—n you, and you
wouldn’t have captured it if there hadn’t
been ‘simmons’ on the other side.”—
There were no “ simmons ” for North
Carolina in her late triumph. The sdeak
er believed that Georgia could carry
her election by a greater majority than did
North Carolina. He took a hopeful view
of the general situation, and earnestly
predicted the downfall of despotic govern
ment before the reaction now taking
place throughout the country. The elo
quent and forcible speaker concluded by
a timely exhortation that to secure vic
tory it was only necessary to attack the
enemy’s works boldly in the front, stand
firmly together, and fight the battle upon
principle.
It Is a matter of regret that we are un
able to present a more perfect, connected
and extended report of the eloquent speech
of this honored son of the “Old North
State,” which elicited earnest and prolong
ed applause from the large assemblage du
ring its delivery, and which has so much
of the ring of the true metal about it.
This reporter acknowledges the kindness
of Capt. Bostick, the genial and ever
obligiugjsuperintendent of the Planters’, for
special accommodations on the occasion.

taxes was made In Philadelphia, on Mon
day last, in the United States Circuit
Court, by Judge Strong, in the case of the

pany vs. Barnes, Collector of Internal Rev
enue. Judge Strong read an elaborate
opinion, deciding that, as the law stood be
fore the passage of the act of July 14, 1870,
dividends and interest paid by railroad
companies on and after January 1, 1870,
were not liable to revenue tax, and that the
act of July 14, 1870, could not be accept
ed as a legislative exposition of the mean
ing of the former law, so far as it applied
to the present case. There were a number
of cases involving the same question.

Advertise if You Would Win. —We
know establishments in this city which
have actually doubled their business bv
liberal and judicious advertising in the
Constitutionalist, and no mao can noyv
succeed who doesn’t communicate with the
public through the press. As well try to
drive a camel through the eye of a needle
as to build up a business without adver
tising.
The manner in which too many mer
chants advertise reminds us of the man
who puts a tabiespoonfull of weak whisky
into a quart of water an I expects the re
sult to be a strong toddy.
What Radical Rule Costs.—ls tax
payers wish to see what they are paying

in Polk’s, during which occurred the Mexi
can war, $1 75; in Pierce’s, $1 96; in Bu
chanan’s, $2 19, and in Grant’s, $4 76.
The first five administrations were Demo

past a prominent citizen of Mobile. Mr.

The Election at Beaufort —A Free
Fight. —The Savannah Republican learps
from a gentleman Just from Beaufort, S. p.,
that an election for county officers was held
there on the 19th. After much yotlng,
drinking and a war of words, some of the
sable voters engaged in a general fight, re
sulting in many of the combatants losing
much blood, wool and an occasional slice
of flesh.
From the same kind informant the paper
learns that one of Beaufort’s ebou sons, iff
a fit of jealousy, shot his wife, firing two
shots from a double-barrelled sliot gun, in
flicting numerous wounds in the body qf
his “ better half.” She was not dead when
last heard from. The would-be wife mur
derer gave himself up to the authorities
immediately after the shooting, and was
placed in jail.
An Evening in Corkland.— SJpff & Gay
lord’s Minstrels, ever popular, will inaugu
rate the amusement season to-night at
Glrardey’s Opera House with new attrac
tions in minstrelsy. This company is well
remembered by our people as the one which
furnished such a rich repertoire of gen
uinely good and chaste hnmor and de
lightful music, vocal and instrumental, to
fbll and enraptured audiences, while on
their visit here last season. Gaylord, Tal
bott, Stiles and McVeigh are a quartette
of inimitable end men, who never fail
to provoke assemblages to the heartiest
laughter. Joe Mairs I who does not
recollect Joe! the prince of petticoat per
sonators, and those clog artists, Stiles
and Phelps and Armstrong? Signor
Bidaux, Tyrell, Long Gnlick and Geese
give us the very quintessence of cork opera
melody, and “ Put Me in My Little Bed,”
and “ Lottie Lee,” as rendered by Bidaux
and Tyrell. are almost incomparable. Our
juveniles will rejoice to know that little
Hunter is with the company, and sings and
dances in a style to excite wonder.
Bryant on the Chain Gang.— Not
physically, as some might prefer, but mere
ly in a lengthy harangue upon the evils of
the system, attempted, last night, to regain
his lost estate in the confidence of the col
ored people, by riding this hobby around
the City Hall. It is about the last stock
in trade ofSkowhegan, and he of course
peddled it out to the best advantage for
the advancement of his political fortunes.
The meeting was largely attended, and
good order was observed. The colored
people of Augusta, who ought to know
Bryant thoroughly by this time, should re
member that when a man deceives them
once, it is his fault, but when he deceives
them the second time, it will be their
fault.
Champagne. —The champagne wine pro
ducing districts of France, including the
great depots of Rheims and Chalous, with
their millions of bottles in store, having
been occupied by the German armies, it is
pretty safe to say that for several years to
come the supply of genuine champagne to
the outside world will be very short. The
year’s vintage of the champagne region and
the millions of bottles in store two months
ago in the great depots of that region are
all gone, aud the total-loss to the vineyards,
wine makers and merchants directly con
cerned will probably exceed twenty millions
of dollars.
Negro Accidentally Shot.— About 8
o’clock last night, a negro man named Ed
ward Key, an employee at Malone’s Foun
dry, accidentally shot himself with a pistol
at the corner of Ellis and Washington
streets. The ball took effect in his right
side, and is thought to have passed in the
region of the liver. After being shot, he
walked to the livery stable of Messrs. A. &
R. J. Wilson, where he became exhausted
from loss of blood, and was carried to the
office of Dr. W. H. Doughty, where Drs.
Doughty and Coleman extracted the ball.
The wound is regarded as quite serious.
Fire. —About twelve o’clock on Wednes
day night, the kitchen on the premises of
Mr. Aaron Meyer, near the corner of Monu
ment and Ellis streets, caught fire by the
carelessness of a servant, who left ashes
and coals in a wooden box, from which the
fire was communicated to theTioor, and
thence to the ceiling. The floor was badly
burned, aud completely torn up in the ef
fort to check the fire. The prompt assist
ance of a few gentlemen and the police ex
tinguished the fire with buckoes of water,
without general aiatnf. •
- - Women in the Printer’s Union.—
Miss Mary C. Green, of Ohio, who has been
■ mployed for some time as a compositor in
the office of the public printer, at Washing
ton, has been, by an almost unanimous
vote, admitted to membership in the Co
lumbia Typographical Union of that city.
Considerable interest has been manifested
regarding the result of Miss Green’s appli
cation for membership, and this is said to
be the first case in this country in which a
female has been admitted to membership in
a Typographical Union governed entirely
hv men.
Congressional Nominations in the
First District. —The Democratic Conven
tion at Blackshear, on Wednesday, after a
number of ballo’ings, nominated Capt.
Paine, a lawyer, of Savannah, to Congress
for the short term—that is, until the 4th of
March next, when the 41st Congress will
expire, and Mr. A. T. Mclntyre, ot Thomas,
was Unanimously selected as the candidate
for the long term, commencing the 42d
Congress.
Congressional Nomination in the
Fourth District— 'l he Democratic Con
vention at Forsyth, on Wednesday, nomi
nated Colonel Wm. J. Lawton for Congress
for the Fourth District.
A “TALK” BETWEEN TWQ WIVES—
“About a week aft r Thanksgiving,” writes a
lady who signs her name Ella D. Emmerson,
and dates her letter “ Bartlett street, Brooklyn,
E. D.,” me and my friend Mrs. A. McDaren,
my nest door ueighbor, had a serious talk
about our husbands. Mine is a lithographic
printer, and her’s a picture frame gilder. They
had both been working over hours, and were
completely broken down, rested badly, couldn’t
eat, aud complained of sick headache. We
hid heard that Plantation Bitters was first
rate in such cases; so we sent for two bottles,
and persuaded our husbands to try the effect
It worked like a charm ; and now, after taking
the Bitters for four weeks, they are both, so to
speak, like new men. Their strength and
health are thoroughly recruited, appetites
good, spirits cheerful, and they say they can
bear twice the fatigue, without inconvenience,
that they could a month ago. Thinkiug that
the proprietors oi such an excellent remedy
have a right to know the good it is doing, I
send you these lines.”
“The simple purity of Sea Moss Farine,
its acknowledged healthfulness, unrivalled fla

foremost place among all articles intended for
