SIMMY MORNING, JULY 11.
District Convention-Fifth Congressional
District.
We suggest that a Convention, to be
composed of as many delegates as each
county is entitled to in the legislature, in
cluding a Scnat'M - from each county, be
held lbr this district in the city of Augusta
on Saturday the 29th inst., to select dele
gates to represent this district in the Phil
adelphia Convention. We would like to
hear the views of our country friends upon
this subject. What says the country press
to the proposition ?
Delegates to the Union Convention.
W e respectfully suggest to the people of
Georgia the propriety of taking immediate
action to secure a full representation of
the State in the Philadelphia Convention.
The time is too short to admit the call
ing of a State Convention, hut we have
ample time to hold Conventions in each
Congressional District. Let this he done
at once. The press in each District can
agree upon and announce ’the time and
place of the meeting, and the people in the
different counties can send their best man
to represent .them. Two Delegates from
each district are to he chosen, and four
from the State at large. In regard to the
latter, we think that the people through
the press of the State can gidicate four
gentlemen who will give general satisfac
tion. We suggest the names of Don. A.
11. Stephens, Hon. 11. V. Johnson, Hon.
B. If. Ilill, and Hon. A. 11. Colquitt.
What say our brethren of the press to the
nomination of those gentlemen?
Ceil. Wm. T. Wofford.
We had the pleasure of mooting in our
city a day or two since, (ion. Wm. T. Wof
ford, late an officer in the glorious old army
of Northern Virginia. The General is in
fine health, and seems in good spirits for
the future, lie has just roturned from
Washington City, where lie lias been ta
iloring for the last two months to secure a
supply of food and clothing for tlio desti
tute poor in bis section of the State.
Wo are glad to learn tiiat ho has succeed
ed In inducing five Washington authorities
to order a large supply of necessaries to be
sent to tho needy and starving poor of
Northwestern and Northeastern Georgia.
Those efforts in their behalf will more
closely.endear tho.Genoral to tho people of
those sections, whore he is now so deserved
ly popular.
The General thinks that if tho masses at
tho North could ho properly informed as
to the lone and temper of our people, all
cause for further distrust and estrange
ment would vanish at once. lie counsels
prudence, moderation and caution on our
part as to our action and utterances.
Til K NATIONAL UNION CONVENTION.
Letter l | 'rom lion. It. 11. Hill.
It affords us much pleasure to be able
to lay before our readers the following able
and manly letter from lion. B. 11. Ilill,
one of Georgia’s most gifted and patriotic
sons. It will be seen that he favors the
proposed Convention, and desires that
the State shall be represented in its coun
cils. We invite the views of the other distin
guished men of the State upon this ques
tion.
We deprecate anything like division in
the South upon a measure of so much im
portance, and beg leave to say in advance,
that, although we are strongly in favor of
Southern representation, yet if a majority
of the people of the South, and especially
of Georgia, should deem our representa
tion at Phils iclphia, under the present
aspect of affairs, unwise or impolitic, we
are prepared to yield our own views in
deference to the popular will:
LaGranqe, (>a, July 4th, 1866.
M{l Dear General: —I have received
your kind let ter of June 30th, asking if I
think the South ought »to be represented
in the “Conservative Union Convention”
called to assemble in Philadelphia in
August.
1 shall leave on the return train, on a
business visit to the North, and am com
pelled to answer you briefly.
I do think that every Southern State
should take immediate steps to be repre
sented in that Convention.
Kvery man of every section who thinks
that the Union as it was. with the Con
stitution as it now is, can be restored and
preserved, and who is aid in the
work, should lose no tfflr induing his in
fluence to t his movement.
The Radical Republican party is unwill
ing to save the country. All who hate the
Constitution are in its ranks. In the name
of the Union they destroyed the South only
that, rid other opposition, they might also
destroy the old Constisufion and make a
new one. The unconciliating, uncompro
mising extremists of both sections wore al
ways the natural enemies of a Constitution
founded in concert and administered in
compromise. This theory has ever been
the corner-stone of my politics. The war
we have had was waged between these two
extremes—each swallowing up, for the
time, the conservatives of its section.
The government proper was no party to the
contest. I'he error of the South was in
throwing the power of the government into
the hands ot her sectional contestant.
The North triumphed by using the govern
ment. and now seeks, as it always intended,
to destroy the governments The govern-
incut must now spring out of the embrace
of her original and most hitter foe, and
struggle, lor its life—-the Constitution. It
is to be a fierce contest. It will be easier
to reconcile the South to the Union, than
to reconcile the North to the Constitution.
This movement at Philadelphia is to save
the Constitution. Let every other issue
stand adjourned until this one of salvation
is decided. By a combination of all eon
servative men, constitutional salvation may
be possible. In no other way is it possible.
The South sought to save the Constitu
tion out of the Union. She failed. Let
her now bring her diminished and shatter
ed. but uuited and earnest counsels and en
ergies to save the Constitution in the Union.
Such l always thought was her duty and
her safety. . . .
The Union must remain. So it is set
tled. Shall this Union be without the
Constitution ? Shall it be with anew Con
stitution formed by a section and founded
in farce ? Shall it be bread to one section
and stone to another section of the same
nominal whole ? Shall the eagle protect
with one wing and oppress with the other?
I understand the Philadelphia movement
is for a Union of Equals according to a
Constitution made by all and administered
by and for all, and, therefore, I approve it.
These are my views ; and, though I con
sider my days as a public man have been
counted, you may lock them in your draw
er. or throw them in the fire, or give them
to the public, as you please.
Very trulv. your friend,
B. H. Hill.

JOTTINGS FROM THE CAPITAL.
The National Convention—lmportance of
Prompt Action by the South—.A Counter
Movement—Mere Mention.
[fuom our own correspondent.]
Washington. Monday; July 2.
in the great halls of legisla
tion, the signs of political strife are less
palpable than hitherto, it would be a great
mistake to infer therefrom that even a
truce, much less a peace, exists between
the two great parties which now divide the
strength of the country. The truth is that
the struggle between the supporters of the
President and the friends of Congress is
day by day growing more hitter and violent.
The call for
THE NATIONAL CONVENTION,
which many of the Conservatives feared
had been postponed too long, has turned
out to be an admirable move on the part of
the Administration. That the Convention
will be a great success is no longer a mat
ter of doubt. The Democratic masses of
the North, whose numerical importance
must not lie estimated from the feeble mi
nority who i present them on the floors of
Congress, have joined heartily in the pro
ject, and a very considerable wing of the
Conservative and Union-Joving Kepubli
cans will act in unison with them. Let the
South send her best and ablest men as del
egates, and the country will liehold once
more a truly national gathering of the
States, such as has not been seen since the
great rupture of the Charleston Conven
tion in iB6O. The action of the Conven
tion will tend to consolidate the President’s
party and give it that compactness of or
ganization and unity of ’purpose, the lack
of which has hitherto been its greatest dis
advantage.
TACTICS OF TIIE RADICALS.
The Radicals are perfectly well aware o*‘
the importance of the Philadelphia Con
vention. They know that when the loyal
delegates from every State in the Union
meet in council and organize upon the great
popular principles of the inviolability of
the Constitution and the integrity of the
Union, the reaction amongst the masses at
the North will be immediate and beyond
their control. Rut the unscrupulous poli
ticians of the majority in Congress are de
termined not to lose their party supremacy
without a struggle. They will therefore
leave no stone unturned to render the Con
vention a failure. And, to accomplish this,
they have determined, if they can, to in
timidate the Southern people, so as to pre
vent them from co-operating in the move
ment. If they can succeed in making the
South appear apathetic or indifferent on the
snhject of the National Convention, and,
at the same time secure, by force or
fraud, or any other means, the ratifi
cation of the Constitutional Amendment
by a few of the Southern Legislatures, they
will have carried their point. For in that
case, they would contend that the people
of the South are not in good faith desirous
of renewing their former relations with
the Union, as the President assumes ; and,
furthermore, that of those at the South
who really are loyal to the reconstructed
union, a large proportion favor the policy
of Congress, as opposed to that of the
President.
INTIMIDATION —A SPECIMEN.
Perhaps I cannot better illustrate for
your readers this newly adopted .Radical
policy of intimidation of the South than
by reproducing the following, which, un
der the head of “Forewarned, Forearmed ;
as conspicuously printed at the head of the
editorial columns of Forney’s Chronicle ,
the mouthpiece of the President’s enemies
here:
“If the Southern people have not been
sufficiently educated anu admonished by
the failure of their attempt to destroy the
Government, they will act upon Andrew
Johnson’s suggestions and help him to
force another revolution. llis purpose is
now clearly developed. It is neither more
nor less now than the defeat of the great
article tor the amendment of the National
Constitution, so that the men who began
the rebellion and fought at a cost to the
whole country of nearly .four billions of
dollars, and over half a million of lives,
may continue to exercise their former
power in the coming elections. It remains
to be seen Whether the people of the recent
rebellious States are ready to assist in
what must inevitably produce anotherwar.
Forewarned is forearmed.”
In case this expedient of bullying the
South should fail, as it assuredly will, the
Radicals have still another card to play,
which they consider a high trump. That
is, to issue a call for
A COUNTER-CONVENTION.
The project lias been carefully discussed
in a general caucus of the bitterest Re
publican Senates and Representatives,
and is regarded with favor by a large ma
jority of their most influential men. The
details of the scheme are these : The
Convention to meet in September, to make
an-out-and-out Radical platform, and put
General Grant at once m nomination for
the Presidency, in the hope of being able
to gain a popular endorsement of their
obnoxious programme, upon the strength
of the popularity and military prestige
of their candidate. It is doubtful whether
the idolized hero of the North will con
sent t ♦allow himself thus to be used as a
tool by the Congressional leaders; but
the bait is a tempting one, and, if he
should reject it, he would exhibit a degree
of sincere patriotism and self denial which,
in the-eyes of the Southern people, at
least, would altogether eclipse liis military
fame.
A SCENE OF REVOLUTION.
The President’s friends, in speaking of
this proposed nomination of Grant by the
Radicals, declare that there is a deeper
meaning in the movement than appears
ui>on its face. They denounce it openly as
an attempt to carry the Fortieth Congress
for the extremists on the personal strength
of their nominee; then to keep out the ele
ven unrepresented States from the next
Congress and the next Electoral! College,
unless they comply with the debasing terms
proposed to them; and if an issue should
arise between the votes cast in accordance
with the Constitution and the vote as pre
scribed In/ Congress. to have the sword drawn
and the army ranged on the side of Con-
against the constitutionally elected
1 'resident in 1868. For defeating this cun
ning scheme of revolution, the President
relies upon the Conservative masses of the
whole country, as they are expected to be
represented in the Philadelphia Convention.
MERE MENTION.
Asa significant “waif” in regard to the
trial of Mr. Davis, I may mention that the
Attorney General has engaged several enri
rieft phonographic reporters, to report the
proceedings of the trial in October next,
when, we are told, it will certainly take
place.
The House and the Senate have at length
compromised upon anew army bill, which
will probably become a law. It fixes the
standing army at forty-five infantry regi
ments. live of which are to consist ot negro
troops, and three of the class known -as
4 ‘ Veteran Reserves.
The Freedman’s Bureau bill, which con
tinues that “institution" in existence for
three years longer, is on the point of being
finally agreed to by both Houses. The
]’resident will veto it, probably; but, if he
does, it will readily be passed over the veto.
So also will the Tariff bill. Many antici
pate that the President “will refuse to sign
it. in which event. Congress is readyjto
make it a law. by a two-thirds vote, with
out his signature.
Statistics just published by the United
States Agricultural Bureau here show that
the amount of eatton imported into Great
Britain from the United States during the
first four months of the present year, ex
ceeds the aggregate importations of cotton
from all other sources combined, du
ring the same period. So readily does our
Southern "King” resume his ascendency ia
the commerce of the world.

A STORY FOR THE LITTLE FOLKS.
Grandfather’s Picture.
[Adapted from the German for The Methodist J
There once stood beside the high gate
which leads into the city of' Danzig, a small
shop, where children’s tops were sold. It
w£s kept by an old lady who supported her
family by selling toys. She did not have a
great many of them, for she did not have
money enough to buy them. She had a
few picture books, some little wooden horses
and wagons that had lately been sent her
from Nuremberg, and some little bows and
arrows that she had bought from a peas
ant.
This had been the old lady’s home from
childhood. Her bedroom and kitchep were
back of the shop, and every part of the
premises was as familiar to her as we can
possibly imagine. She was marrietT when
eighteen years of age; but only a tew years
afterwards her husband died. Ever since
then she had been compelled to support
herself by selling toys. At the time of
which I am now speaking, she seldom had
a customer. Children who wanted toys
went to larger and finer stores to buy them.
Sometimes she had not money enough to
buy a half loaf of bread, and had to wait
in great anxiety until she could sell some
little toy.
One day an aged man stood by her shop
door and asked her to tell him where he
could find a certain street in the city, She
told him as nearly as she could.* He then
said :
“I have not been in Danzig for forty
years, though 1 was born here. llow
changed is everything! I remember this
very little shop where you are now, and I
can call to mind the beautiful young lady
whom I saw here, standing in the door
when I left Danzig so long ago. Her face
is distinct in memory now. ’ ’
The old toy woman smiled and replied :
“Good man, that girl could have been no
one else than myself, for I have lived in
this house for fifty years. ’ ’
“Indeed,” replied the stranger, “I had
for a moment forgotten that people can
change as well as places. No wonder you
look old now ; I look old myself, and so has
everybody changed in such a long space of
time. Can you tell me about Peter Braun,
who formerly lived in Long-street ? Is he
living or is he dead ?
She replied: “I was not acquainted with
him, though I have heard a great deal
about him. He died in the hospital.”
“In the hospital!” replied the aged
stranger, “what a wonderful occurrence is
that! I know he never expected such a
thing. He was the son of Bernard Braun,
who was always regarded as a very wealthy
man.”
“That may be all very true,” replied
the woman who sold toys, “but he died
very suddenly, though he had been sick
several weeks, and had been taken to the
hospital because he had not money enough
to provide himself with the necessaries of
life. His father died very much in debt,
and Peter paid all his debts. He could
have kept enough money to have placed
himself in comfortable circumstances, but
he would not do it, for it would be defraud
ing liis father’s creditors out of their real
duos. Peter Braun, the son who died, has
left a son named John, who is now a sailor
on a vessel that goes to the East Indies. ’ ’
As the aged stranger heard these words
a cloud seemed to pass over his face. He
was about to depart in haste, but turned
round rapidly and said: “ Tell me where
Peter Braun is buried. ’ ’
“In the Potter’s Field, back of St. Ma
ry’s church,” replied the woman.
The stranger seemed to have exjlketed
this answer,” and liiseyes began toSvander
round the walls of the shop. He beheld
art old and faded oil painting which was
nailed over the door that led into the hack
part of the house. He went up closer to
where the picture was, and said: “What
will you take for that old picture?”
• “ Oh,” said she in reply, “I suppose it
is worth a couple of pennies. To come to
the truth,” she said, “ I think it is actu
ally worth nothing. But if you will give
me a couple of pennies you may have it.”
She then got a little broom and brushed
the dust off.
“ Now,” said she, “that is a picture ofa
man that looks pious and friendly. If you
are not willing to give me two pennies then
I will take one.”
The stranger laid down on her counter a
Spanish silver dollar, and took the picture
down himself.
_ “ Ah! good man 1 ” she said, “I can not
give you change for this great large piece
of money, for this is the first thing I have
sold for three days'”
“Goodwoman,” he replied, “I don’t
want any change. This picture is a treasure
to me ; and though I have given you the
last dollar I have in the world, I don’t feel
dissatisfied with my bargain; for this pic
ture is the likeness of my grandfather. It
is a treasure for which I thank you. ’ ’
He hastened oft' without saying or hear
ing any more. The toy woman was more
frightened than rejoiced, for she could not
understand that the man who seemed in
good circumstances was really so poor that
he had hut one dollar to give for an old
faded picture. She feared that he would
come back and take away the silver dollar
that he had given her.
By and by he did come back again. His
face was flushed as if he had been drinking
wine. He struck his fists powerfully upon
her counter; and the toy woman thought
that he would break all her little toys, and
take away the dollar. But he was not an
gry, though lie seemed to be so. He then
said to her these words.
“Good woman, do me the kindness to
throw all your toys to the school children
to-night as they come from school. Oh!
here they come, now! Let me have the
toys—l will pay you for them. ’ ’
The children were coming from school
with their maps, and hooks, and slates,
under their arms; and two or three 'stood
before the toy shop window. The aged
stranger took the toys one after another,
and gave them to the children. They were
the happiest little creatures I ever saw.
After they had returned him thanks, and
shouted aloud over their new gifts, the
stranger then said to the woman:
“That picture which you sold me has
proved of great value to me. It contained
what I have been seeking in many lands
for forty years. I am the son of Peter
Braun whom you said a little while ago
was a sailor on a ship to the East Indies.
The picture which I bought from you, and
which is the likeness of my grandfather,
Bernard Braun, contained very valuable
papers. After I left your shop with it an
hour ago. I accidentally struck it against
an old pump, and the frame came apart,
and the hoard ou the back broke in pieces.
Between the board and the canvas there
were several papers which fell down.
Those papers are what I have long sought.
They contain a record of a large sum of
money wliich the city of Danzig owed my
grandfather—money which he had loaned
for improvements. They contained the
only account of the debt. I have no doubt
they are just what I think they are. for I
have often heard my father say that his
rather had loaned the city money which
\\ as to be paid after the lapse of twenty
years. But my father said that his father
died very suddenly, and all traces of the
papers were lost. Now they have come to
light, and I shall get the whole sum, with
all the interest that is due upon it.
Four days after this conversation the
aged stranger again came to the toy-wo
man s shop. He gave her a sufficient sum
ot money to buy a comfortable house in a
pleasant part of the eitv. “For," said he,
"you are the instrument of my recov
ering mv grand-father's fortune.”
He then said: “My next duty is to
found a hospital for Danzig.”
Two years passed by. and a splendid
hospital was erected at his expense.
Later, lie often said : “Mr father died
in a hospital. What would' have become
of him had there been no hospital? But
it was a small institution, and the city
needs the large one that I have given it.—
How thankful I am that my father did not
die alone by starvation! But there are
many hungry and suffering people in this
world. I hope all the children to whom I
once gave some toys, and all the other
children of Danzig, will do all in their
power to make the world better and hap
pier.”

Decision Under the Civil Rights Bill.
Baltimore, July G. —Judge Bowie,
Chief Justice of the Court of Appeals, ren
dered an important decision under the Civil
Rights bill. In the case of the Coiumon
wealthagainst Summers, for beating a negro,
it was contended by counsel that according to
the laws of Maryland, a negro was not a com
petent witness against whitemen. The Mag
istrate decided said law to be null and void,
having been abrogated and superceded by
the Civil Rights Bill and required bail,
which Summers refused to give, and was
committed. Application was made to
Judge Bowie for a writ of habeas corpus,
which lie declined to grant, giving a writ
ten opinion sustaining the magistrate.
He admits there are doubts as to the con
stitutionality of the Civil Rights bill on
other points, yet not seeing clearly a breach
of the Federal Constitution, on the par
ticular point bearing on this case, follow
ing the usage and decision of the highest
courts, he was bound to assume that
Congress had not \iolated its constitutional
obligations, and passed an unconstitutional
act. The prisoner was remanded to the
custody of the officers.

REVIEW OF THE AUGUSTA MARKET,

COTTON —Our market has been unset

week, with very few sales. At the closo

give 28«31 cents as extremes.
REMARKS—Busip ess proceeds cautious
ly under tho European agitation, and the
fluctuation of the national currency. It is
difficult to foresee what tiie ultimate effect
of tlic Germanic struggle will be upon the
business of tiiis country. That it has al
ready been the partial cause of the convul

abroad, and seriously effected them on this
side, there can be no doubt; but it is not
believed that any serious damage will re
sult to any material interest of this coun
try unless the war shall involve all the
leading powess. Wo have been purchasers
of the commodities of the powers at issue
to a greater extent than they have of ours,
and therefore the balance of exchanges has
usually been against us, and as those com
modities consisted largely of what may be
termed luxuries, or articles which wo qan
supply at home, we shall not be injured,
but rather benefltted, by the interruption
of trade with them. The insecurity of
their commercial marine will divert tho
carrying trade to outside nations, and the
incorrigible Yankee will be sure to secure
a large share of it for American bottoms.
As war always unsettles credits, capital
shuns the track of armies, and the danger
that the contest may involve other Euro
pean powers, will tend to increased invest
ments in American securities. Tho agri
cultural interests of the region penetrated
by the contending armies will bo almost
totally destroyed, and the demand for
American breadstuff's greatly enhanced.
Those resultant advantages, it is believ.
od, will outweigh any injury resulting
from loss of trade in other commodities,
and wc shall find our interests rather beno
litted than injured by the contest, should
it be confined to the powers which have
inaugurated tiie conflict.
FINANCIAL— Tho views expressed
above are confirmed in the fact that the
New York gold market has remained
steady under the news that war was
inevitable. In this city, prices have
continued to range from 150 to 155 during
the week, and but little has changed
hands. Rents have been adjusted at the
above rates in greenbacks. At the close on
yesterday buyers were paying 150 for gold,
and selling at 153 J. Silver is dull, and is
bought at 135 to 140 and sold at 145 to 150.
There is but a limited supply of securities
in the market, and prices are stiff. City of
Augusta Bonds are in demand at 90«.92,
Georgia Railroad Stock is quiet at 85,
Georgia Railroad Bonds at par. Bank bills
are dull at tho following quotations:

BACON.—There is a fair demand for
Bacon, with rather a moderate supply, and
prices are stiff. We quote hams at 25@27
conts, according to quality—a prime article
would possibly bring 28 cents. Clear sides
24 cents. Back bone sides, 22@22i cents.
Shoulders, 19J@20 cents.
LARD.—The supply is about equal to
the demand, the low price of butter hav
ing induced the use of that article as a
substitute. Wo quote pressed, 23@24 cts.,
prime leaf, 25@27 cents; in kegs, 27@28
cents.
GRAlN.—There is a good demand for
Wheat, and our millers are paying $2 75@
3.00 for prime white, and $2.60@2.90 for
red. New- Wheat comes in slowly, and it
is feared that the supply for market will
be small. The demand for corn continues
active, with free arrivals during the week,
and prices exhibit a further advance. We
quote prime white $1.65; prime yellow
$1.60. Meal $1.65. Oats have advanced,
and readily command $1 p bushel. Rye
and Barley nominal. .
FLOUR.—The supply of Western, with
the low grades of which the market has
been largely stocked all the season, is now
running low, and prices for a good article
from new wheat are high. There is still
some Western Superfine in the market, of
low grade, which can be bought, perhaps,
below our quotations, to which we refer.
COTTON GOODS.—The downward ten
dency of cotton has imparted an easier tone
to cotton goods, though we do not change
our quotations.
DRY GOODS.—Our market is well stock
ed, for the season, and country merchants
who wish to replenish their supplies will
find our dealers ready to offer them every
possible inducement.
HATS.—The hat jtrade is’ resuming its
old importance, several houses heirfj*- in
the wholesale trade, one or two of which
are on a scale quite as extensive as were
known here before the war.
HARDWARE—The old and well-known
houses, who for more than a generation
have enjoyed the confidence of the country,
are still conducted with their proverbial
enterprise and reliability, and country
merchants and planters will find stocks full
and prices at the lowest living standard.
We refor to quotations on the next page.
GROCERIES.—Prices have not kept
pace with the fluctuations in the currency,
and rates for groceries and provisions are
relatively lower than in the leading mar
kets. All the principal articles will lie
found enumerated in our prices current.
ARTIFICIAL M ANURES. —The season
for turnip sowing Ls at hand, to which com
mercial manures are especially adapted.
Our market is well supplied, and the rates
are about those of the manufacturers. See
quotations.
DRUGS AND MEDICINES—In no de
partment of trade is more enterprise ex
hibited than in this. Stocks are large, and
the same experienoeu and reliable dealers
who have controlled the trade for years,
are still at their posts. The rates for’ lead
ing articles are enumerated in our prices
current.
BOOTS AND SHOES.—Competition is
active in this trade, and stocks are ample.
Prices are ruling far below those of last
season. See quotations,
