Girardey’s Opera House —The presen
tation of “ Cinderella,” last night,,by those
illimitable burlesque artists of the Worrell
Troupe was welcomed by a large and ap
preciative audience. As Prince Pretty Pet,
Miss Sophie Worrell, with her charming
grace and well tempered abandon, was Ir
resistibly fascinating, and Invested her
role with all the attractions of which the
character was susceptible. Miss Julia
Sheldon, in Dandni , was particularly clever,
and by her rare beauty and striking sym
metry of form, at once established herself
as a “ bright particular star ” in the gal
axy offemale beaut y comprising the cast. As
Cinder Ula, Miss Eliza Long was in nowise
short of winning the full admiration of the
audience. As the petite, dulcet-toned (?)
Ciorindet, Mr. Harry Wood unsexed him
self to just that particular gauge which
convulsed the audience with side-splitting,
button snapping laughter. Ths whole cast
was well conceived, and gave another
proof that Augusta is now enjoying the
presence of the very best burlesque com
pany of the many which have appeared on
our boards. The pantomime after-piece
was excruciatiugly laughable, in the hands
of the inimitable Hernandez.
To-night “ A Kiss in the Dark ” and
“Black-Eyed Suzing" are the attractions.
Meeting ok First Ward Democratic
Club. —The First Ward Democratic Clnb
held a meeting last night for the purpose
of selecting delegates to the County Nomi
nating Convention, which assembles on
Saturday next.
The President, John U. Meyer, called the
meeting to order, and, on motion, was au
thorized to appoint five delegates, in ac
cordance with which he appointed the fol
lowing gentlemen: Judge A. P. Robertson,
George Sibley, 11. F. Russell, E. H. Rogers,
Wm. Tanner.
On motion, the meeting adjourned to
meet this morning, at 7:30 o'clock-!
Remember, Democrats, be at the polls
at 8 o’clock precisely, this morning, and
deposit your votes in the interest of an
honest and reputable city government,

Troops for Our Municipal Election.
—lt was understood yesterday that a com
pany of United States troops will arrive
in the city this morning, from Atlanta, at
the Instance of the trembling Radical
plunderers, for the purpose of preserving
order during the municipal election to-day.
Since the law and order loving citizens of
Augusta have deliberately made up their
minds to assert their right of suffrage in a
quiet, but united, ffrm and resolute manner
against the purposes of the Infamous horde
who are seeking to gain a foothold in the
control of city affairs, there will be just
about as much use for this company here
as there is for the curl in a pig’s tail, unless
it be the purpose of the scheming Radicals
to provoke a collision the nselves. The
destructiouists need not console themselves
with the vain belief that the presence of
the •* boys in blue” will strike terror to
the hearts of a people who are determined
to use every fair and legitimate means to
preserve their interests from falling into
the hands of a debased and unscrupulous
clique. We apprehend no collision between
the military aDd citizens, believing that in
no instance will our frieuds of the Demo
cratic party seek to interfere with or pre
vent any legal voter from casting his ballot
as he may choose. Nor do we believe that
the military will travel so far out of their
legitimate sphere as the conservators of
the peace, to attempt any intimidation of
citizens seeking to defend their most vi'al
interests against the destructive designs of
a few corrupt leaders of the Radical party.
Bayonets, or no bayonets, let every true
man present himself at the polls this morn
ing and cast his vote fearlessly in support
of the Democratic nominees, and Radical
ism will be dead and buried by 2 o’clock,
so that the soldiers may burn a few of their
surplus cartridges in glorification of the
event, if they feel so disposed.
Meeting ok the Fourth Ward Demo
cratic Club —Pursuant to appointment,
the Democrats of the Fourth Ward met,
Monday night, at the Engine House of
No. 8.
Capt. W. B. Young, President of the
Club, called the meeting to order, and
stated the object of the assemblage to be
the appointment of delegates to the County
Nominating Convention.
On motion of Dr. M. J. Jones, the Presi
dent was authorized to appoint five dele
gates to said convention.
The President announced the following
as the delegation : Dr. M. T. Hg
Nelson, J. B. Stoughton, Wtrick Walsh,
J. C. Lund.
Mr. Pat Walsh moved that It was the
sense of the meeting that every one In the
Fourth Ward who felt an interest in the
approaching municipal election should at
tend at the polls on Wednesday morning.
Unanimously adopted, with spirit.
On motion of Maj. Geo. T. Barnes, the
delegates appointed to the County Nomi
nating Convention were authorized to fill
all vacancies in their own body.
On motion of Maj. Barnes, the meeting
adjourned to this (Wednesday) morning, at
7 o’clock.
Who Are They? —We have heard that,
on Saturday last, in the Radical Nominat
ing Convention, little Tweedy, by way of
impressing the negroes with his import
ance, announced that, when he walked the
streets of Augusta, a number of merchants
would watch their opportunity, when un
observed by the public eye, take him into
their stores and, asking him to “ take
something,” pat him on the back, assuring
him that he was on the right track, but
they were not willing to have their views
known publicly, for fear of proscription in
business. Now, we don’t believe any such
cordiality was extended by Augusta mer
chants, nor were the negroes persuaded
that It was absolutely essential to their in
terest that Tweedy thould be made their
representative, under the misrepresenta
tion.
Accident on the Savannah and
Charleston Railroad.—An accident oc
curred on this road last Friday at Myers’
Tiestle, near Green Pond station. The
axle of the tender broke, throwing the ten
der, express and baggage cars off the track.
Adam Scott, (colored) the fireman, had his
right leg broke above the ankle, and the
left one badly cut below the knee. Laurence
Fox (white) had his thigh broken, and the
leg generally so badly mangled that it had
to be amputated Saturday. Ell Patterson,
another train hand, received a slight hurt.
Not a Legal Jury.— The Bavannalj
News says there seems to have been a seri
ons blunder committed ln empaneling
jurors to serve in the United States Circuit
Court. It appears that the law in its wis
dom directs and requires that the Clerk of
the Court and the United States Marshal
shall select the names of 500 intelligent and
upright men (how about those two colored
pussons ?) between the ages of 21 and 80
years, from which, the jurors, as aforesaid,
are to bed rawn. At this term of the Court
it seems that this very pleasing duty was
performed by the Clerk of the Court and
the Deputy Marshal, and hence keen Geor
gia lawyers declare that the whole panel is
of no acconnt, and ask for a continnance
of the cases in which they are profession
ally encaged. A motion to challenge the
array of jurors has been sustained in open
court, after argument had, and now the
question to be considered is: What is to be
done with the cases already tried at this
term of the Court? Are by-gones to be
taken as by-gones, or are the legal gentle
men entitled to anew deal?
Race at Lafayette Race Course. —A
match race came off on Monday at the La
fayette Race Course, mile dash, for SSOO,
between the gray mare Duchess and the
bay horse John Kenrick. As in her con
test with the bay colt on Thursday, the
mare lost the race, but kept better up with
her competitor. The horse won the race In
1:51, the mare coining out in 1:51 An
other race will come off on the 20th inst.
between the gray mare and the horse
Georgetown.
The Wild Man Peter, or Gorilla,
from the deserts of Africa, is still on ex
hibition on Greene street, in rear of the
Post Office. He is worth a visit from all.
And the largest Grizzly Bear in America,
together with other Wild Auimals. The
price of admission is only 25c.
Let no Feeling of Assurance of suc
cess influence a single Democratic voter to
stay away from the polls to day. The
plunderers are vigilant, and will make a
desperate attempt to carry out their in
famous designs.
A Site for the Masonic Temple.— The
committee appointed at the late session of
the (iraud Lodge in Macon, to
purchase a site for anew Masonic
in that city, have purchased a vacant lot
on Mulberry street, corner of the alley be
tween Second and Third streets. The site
is said to be a most admirable one.
Attractive Auction Sale —Col. C. B.
Day advertises an attractive sale of season
able goods, to take place tills morning, at
his auction room. Dealers will have an
opportunity to replenish their stocks at the
most favorable prices.
River News. —The steamer Rosa de
parted at 0 o’clock, and the Katie at 6:30
o’clock, a. m., yesterday. The steamer
Swan, at 3, p. m., was still aground on the
sand bar which she struck on Monday
morning. The river registered 4 feet 3
inches at 3, p. m., yesterday.
There is an Important Work to be
done to-day in battling against the pur
poses of tlie corrupt clique seeking to get
control of city affairs. Let every true
Democrat be found in his place at the
polls.
Generous to the Orphans.—With
commeudable liberality, Miss Sophie Wor
rell has extended a free invitation to the
orphans of Augusta to attend a grand mat
inee performance to be given on Saturday
afternoon.
A Few Hours lost from business to-day
by those interested in saving the city from
Radical control, will yield a far greater per
centage of profit than all the goods which
may be disposed of in that period.
There is Nothing ok Evil to tpprehend,
if every true citizen will turn out to-day
and exert his individual influence in behalf
of the Democratic ticket for Mayor and
Aldermen.
Every Good Citizen, who values the
preservation of good order, and the salva*
tlon of the city, will manifest it to day, by
his presence at the polls.
Personal. —General Robert Toombs and
Hon. Liuton Stephens were in this city
yesterday.
Remember that the polls will close at 2
o’clock, p. m. Be sure, Democrats, that
you do not lose a vote.
