Thar* is * paragraph going th* rtroadi which
•aya that a shower of pismires reasntiy f*U
npon SC Look. Th* envy and rage that this
information will stir up in the breast of the
riral oity of Chicago are things which this pen
has not th* hardihood to undertake to de
acribe.
oT>anter seems to be getting “desperately
short in Wisconsin. In choosing delegates to
the Republican State Convention, the Bepobli
cana of one loan instructed them to vote
against all attempts either to secure an in
dorsement of Senator Carpenter or to make
him a candidate of t' e party for re-election.
In another town, wht-re there were fifteen dele
gatee chosen, nine were pledged to oppose
Carpenter every time.
Another victim. . Mr. W.*E. Arthur, of the
Sixth Kentucky District, distinguished him
self in the last Congress principally by pocket
ing lus back pay. His couetitneuta intimated
pretty strongly that they sent him to Washing
ton for better purposes, and he his declined to
be a candidate for re-election. He has many
companions in his misery, and if other con
stituents do their duty, he will have many
more.
At Chicago, on the side tracks of the Micki
oan Southern, I'ittebnrg and Fort Wayne, and
hock Island Kail ways'; Just south of the south
era limits of that city, theie are said to be
more than five miles of unemployed freight
cars, which have et od there for more than a
month. There will probably be fall employ
ment, however, for tbsse “active voida” ore
long, as the canal and river transportation will
soon be at an end, when the grain wdl have to
take to the railroads; so what is lost now by
enforced idleness, it is reasonable to assume,
will be made up as the reason moves on.
We sometimes have remarked Hie queer con
junction of names in the marriage list of Amer
ican papers. In the West they seem to make
it a business to hunt such names out and
make rhymes upon them. Abroad, too, the
marriage relation finds at Ur very beginning
frequently an appropriate association. For
instance, on an average there are 769 mar
riages per week in Paris aid about 35 separa
tions. Among the former occur some curious
coincidences, which to b* appreciated may be
thus translated: Mile. Death is united to M.
Departed; M. Drum to Mile. Trumpet; Mile.
Oaiter to M. l’antaleou. and M. Boaster to
Mile. Boiler.
Speech by a colored statesman of Month
Carolina: “Mists Chunnan, I can't help cus
sin', buterbeilmi ef things ain't milt, and the
Kippnkhkanparty is gwine to de devil. Dar's
Gnvtier Moses a-raisin’ bonds and pothecarin

As safe, whar dey won't do nobody any harm;
an' I repeats, I can't help cussin', buteibedam
ef things ain't mixt, and de ltippublikan party
is gwine to the devil pretty fast enough.”
The New Orleans Picayune explains Auditor
Clinton’s recently published statement that
“in the two years' administration of Governor
Kellogg the bonded debt of the State has been
reduced nearly half a million, and the floating
debt 4J.250,000," and that “tho present year's
taxes are thirty two per cent, less than for tho
three previous years," by sating that tho “re
duction" of the bonded debt has been at best
only a kind of funding ; that instead of a de
crease of tho floating debt it has been increased
$570,000 by tho issue of fraudulent bonds to
the North Louisiana Railroad, and that the re
duction of taxes was accomplished tty simply
repudiating forty per cent, of the legal and
valid debt of the Htate.
A lunatic has just died in an asylum in
Fiance whose distemper had a very singular
origin. His name was Justin. He was a wax
figure maker and had an exhibition of wax works
at Montiotigo. He fell iu love with ono of his
figures. It was that of a girl. Ho called her
Elias. Be sat for hours contemplating the
figure until it became to him a living
reality. He loved Eliza and neglocte# his wife’.
His business left him in the shadow of his in
fatuation. His family starved, One day his
wife, in a fit of rage and desperation and jeal
ously. destroyed the figure of Eliza. Justin
tried to kill his wife with a broomstick, and
would have succeeded liad not tho neighbors
interfered. The man after this became dan
gerous, mid was put in a lunatic asylum, where
he continued to love Eliza for five years and
then died. Pygmalion over again,
A couple of citizens of Bridgeport, Connecti
cut, attempted to make a voyage to New Lon
don in mi open boat drawn by a kite of large
props miens. Tho wind being high, they made
great speed, but tho water beiug also rough
they oame very near being swamped twice.
Apprehensive that they might not escape a
third and more serious mishap, they abandoned
their voyage mid returned home. Frequent
attempts, both on water and on land, have
been made to use the kite as a propelling
power, but the very instability of the wind
makes alt such experiments futile. If the
wind could bo relied on to remain steady to one
course as long as needed and to change to an
other when the course lay in a different direc
tion, something practicable might be accom
plished. But as it " blowetli where it listetli"
it is as foolhardy to go to soa in an open boat
with a kite for a motive power, as it was for
tho three wise men of Gotham to go to sea iu
tbowl.
Colorado lias found the right man, and if it
will only put him iu the right pace all will he
right in Colorado. Ho anrouuccs himself as a
candidate for Congress in tho following pithy
paragraph : “I promise to have a switch put
in at tho county seat iu fifteen minutes after
my election ; I promise to unravel the Boeclier
mystery; I pledge myself to produce rain
whenever needed, thereby avoiding the neces
sity of irrigation ; I will banish the grasshop
pers from our land, and render this Eldorado
of the West a Garden of Eden ; I will work for
nothing and board myself. Have pity on an
orphan forty-two years old, and elect tho un
designed to a Beat in Congress. Fluke M&-
gildor." Fluke’s promises to his constituents
are marked by the average honesty, and his
opportunities for redoemiug thorn are doubt
less as good a-* candidates' generally are. He
ia a promising political! and Colorado ought to
try him.
All Government clerks are advised to take
warning by the example of John D. Wilson,
who entered tho Pension Office as a clerk in
1832, and stayed there forty-two years, with
bat sevouteon days loavo of absence during
the whole 6f that time. Ho began by adjust
ing the revolutionary pension claims and did
an enormous amount of important work, in
volving nearly all the responsibility of the pen
sion bureau, and at clerk’s wages. He posses
sed aiul exhibited all the qualities that combine
to make a successful business man or mer
chant, and yet having sought and accepted a
clerk's position under the Goverumeut in liis
youth he was buried in the clerkship for life.
The bureau was his coffin, until anew one was
made for lnm a few weeks ago when he de
parted this life, a poor man, leaving a poor
family. Ho got into the rut of public work
wfiau a young man. and was hopelessly a Gov
ernment clerk for life. It was little better
than a State prison.
A story reached us from Detroit of a sad
eyed boy “with dirt on his chin and a tear on
his nose." vrlio went into a Detroit police sta
tion. and, having stated that he was a Home
less Waif, asked humbly to be sent into the
State Reform School. Wouldn't he prefer to
go to the Workhouse? Ouo! he hail a brother
in the Reform School, and he would like to be
with liis dear brother. Still, he didu't want to
•go out and steal something to qualify himself
“ for the school. This touched the heart of a
gentleman present, who, after consulting the
Sergeant, eaid: “I guess we can fix it. my
dear boy. lam going to leave my wallet on
the desk, and the Sergeant and I will go up
stairs. If you take the wallet it will be steal
ing. and then you be sent to the Reform
Scool. as you wish." So the wallet was deposit
ed on the desk, the men went up stairs, and
when they came down, not only was the prop
erty gone, hut “the boy, O where was he ?"
Alas! he had bettered his distractions and
vamoosed the ranch of justice, leaving the
owner of the pocket-book a wiser man by about
$6 worth. Singularly enough, the boy hssn’i
yet come back to be sentenced and sent to the
school.
Fora fend of the old-fashioned Kentucky
sort commend ns to Breathitt county in that
State, where the Littles and the Cockrells are
turning cremation up side down in an attempt
al mutual extermination. It began by a raid
on a watermelon patch that was compromised I
by the payment of fifteen dollars, from which j
it may be inferred that nobody by the name of
Tilton had anything to do with it. But either i
because the injured party wanted more, or be
cause the memory of his stolen watermelons
rankledVithin him, a quarrel arose, and a
Cockrell -was killed. Soon another quarrel,
and another Cockrell was dispatched to the
land of shadows in company with a Jett, one
of a family allied to the Cockrfells. So far the
Littles, who must make lively neighbors, had
come off unhurt, but this time Jerry Little,
the njaster spirit of the clan, was the recipient
of a fabulous number of buckshot He was
obstinate enough to recover and enterprising
enough to organize a force of fnen. and is now
making things warm for the Cockrells and
Jetts. The mountain passes are guarded by
armed pickets, and people are shot promptly
on sight. The county rests under such a reign
of terror, if our informant speaks truly, that
doctors dare not visit the houses of wounded
men, and tho letter giving these particulars
was carried out of the county by a friend of the
writer, to be mailed beyond reach of harm. All
the parties to the vendetta “are Democrats,”
says the writer, “and all members of the same
religious denomination." These facts will
doubtless restrain President Grant in any pur
pose he may hare formed of sending Federal
troops to the scene of this w atermelon war.

Death of Col. James Gardner.—
Col. James Gardner, for many years
editor and proprietor of the Augusta
Constitutionalist, died at 6 o’clock,
yesterday morning, at his residence,
near the city, of inflammation of the
bowels, after an illness of about four
weeks.
Col. Gardner was born in this city in
the early part of the year 1813, and was
consequently in the sixty-second year of
his age at the time of his death. He
stndied law with Judge Wm. T. Gonld,
and was early in life admitted to the
bar. In 1840 he was elected Solicitor-
General of the Jndicial Circuit in which
Richmond connty was embraced. On
the 12th of June, 1845, CoL Gardner
purchased the Constitutionalist from
Mr. P. C. Gieti, and assumed control as
editor. This position he filled uninter
ruptedly for twenty years, during which
period he was the acknowledged leading
Democratic editor in Georgia. He
wielded a powerful influence in the poli
tics of the State, and when the Demo
cratic Gubernatorial Nominating Con
vention assembled in 1857 he was by far
the most prominent man in the State
for the position. His name was pnt
forward in the Convention and ballotted
for during a considerable length of time.
He received a majority on every ballot,
but the two-thirds rule having been
adopted by tho Convention, it became
apparent that he could not be nomina
ted, and Joseph E. Brown was, there-
selected as a compromise candi
date.
Daring the war Col. Gardner was an
ardent defender of Southern rights.
Soon after its close he went to New York
and entered into business with Mr.
Hoyt, under the .firm name of Hoyt &
Gardner. In 1871 the copartnership
was dissolved, and Col. Gardner again
assr.med control of the Constitutionalist,
then owned by Stockton & Cos., as its
editor. He continued in this position
until the suspension of the Constitution
alist, in 1873. In June, 1871, he re
sumed the practice of law, and entered
into copartnership with Judge Hook,
which was dissolved previous to the sus
pension of the Constitutionalist. After
the suspension Col. Gardner devoted
himself to planting. Nearly a month
since he was taken sick, and from that
time was confined to his residence. For
several days before bis death he appear
ed to be conscious that liis end was
drawing near, and faced the conviction
with the fortitude which he possess'ed
in an eminent degree.
Col. Gardner was a brilliant writer,
and, when in the full vigo of big intel
lectual power, was known North and
South as one of the ablest editors of the
day. He possessed the confidence and
esteem of a host of friends, and goes
down to liis grave regretted by the entire
community.

Ihe Messrs. Parker are constructing
on Reynolds street, above Campbell,
two handsome brick dwellings. The
work is under tho superintendence of
Mr. Barrick.
Several frame buildings, neat and sub
stantial, are nearly completed on Walker
street, between Centre and Washington.
A brick dwelling is iu course of con
struction on tho corner of Walker and
Centre streets—-Mr. Barrick, contractor.
A brick dwelling is in process of erec
tion on Greene, street, near Elbert—Mr.
Rutherford, contractor.
The erection of a brick dwelling is
soon to be commenced on Telfair street,

ris, of Thomson, McDuffie connty, had
been arrested and brought to the city
at the instance of one Jas. W. Tucker,
on the charge of violating the Enforce
ment Act, and gave bond .before United
States Commissioner W. M. Moore. Yes
terday Mr. Ootavus Morris, charged
with the same offense, came voluntarily"
to the city, and will give bond before
the Commissioner for his apfpearance at
tho next term of the United States Court.
Mr. Jos. W. Judkins, the United
States Deputy Marshal, has shown
great kindness towards the accused par
ties, who fully appreciate the courtesy.
We understand that Mr. Tucker is de
sirous of dropping the prosecution.
Ose-Legged Breeches.—A. one-leg
ged soldier, walking up the Bowery, was
accosted by a clothing merchant with
the usual “Sell you sometings to-day?”
Entering the store, the veteran was in
vited to inspect the large stock, but hav
ing looked through the array* of. coats
and vests and trowsers, he turned to go,
saying that he saw nothing there that,
would suit him. “Yell, vat you vants?”
“I want a pair of one-legged panta
loons.” “Vas dat all ? Yaeob, bring
me one of dem one-legged gray‘pants on
dat pile in de corner.” In a few min
utes Jacob returned, and reported that
the hist pair had been sold. Meanwhile,
the partner next door, whp had been
listening through the thin partition, had
mapped out a plan of campaign against
the one-legged cripple. “Yohn,” he
whispered to an attendant, “Cut me off
de leg of one of dem gray pants. Send
him up, quick !”
By the time this had been done the
soldier had hobbled out of the first
store only to be inveigled into the sec
ond. Again he went through the in
spection of odds and 'ends, -and again
demanded one-legged trowsers, hinting
that he didn’t believe the trader had
them. “Not haf one legged pants!
Eadder Moses, vot you takes me for ?
Yohn, bring me one of dem one-legged
j gray pants in dat pile in de hack qf de
i shtore.” The newly-altered trowsers
were produced, and the waggish soldier
i gave himself up as lost. Bnt as he
j spread them before him, he became con
scious, as did the dealer, of so. ething
wrong. “Mein Gott! Fadder A ] ah am !
Yohn, you haf ruin me ! You I if cut off
de wrong leg!”
The Duke of Liecester is dead.
The two mile single scull race on
Charles river, for the championship of
New England, between Thomas C. Bnt

In the Baltimore Circuit Court at
Towsontown yesterday, in the case of
Samuel McDonald, on trial for the mur
der Berry Amos, the jury, after being
out since Friday afternoon, brought in
a verdict of not guilty.
At Bridgeport, Ct., the coroner’s jury
concluded the inquest on the body of

The Best Season. —The Fall season
has commenced in earnest, not only for
general merchandise, but especially for
tickets for the next and last Grand Gift
Concert of the PublicXibrary of Ken
tucky. As the 30th of November (the
day of the drawing) approaches, the de
mand for tickets swells, and swells till it
rushes on like a mountain torrent, and
threatens to exhaust the supply long
before the day of the drawing. Every
body knows this is the last Concert, and
that the scheme offered is more inviting
than any ever offered in the world be
fore; that there is 82,500,000 to be di
vided among the ticket-holders in 20,000
prizes, and that there is one prize to
every five tickets. This makes a very
busy season. Tickets for sale at the

Dyspepsia or Indigestion Head
ache, Pam in the Shoulders, Dizziness,
Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad
Taste in the Mouth, Billious Attacks,
Palpitation of the Heart, Pain in the
region of the Kidneys, Tightness
of the Chest, Despondency and Gloom,
and Forebodings of Evil, 'are all the off
springs of Dyspepsia. For these com
plaints Dr. Ten’s Liver Pills have no
equal. A single dose will convince any
one.
“The Life of the Flesh is the
Blood.” —This is an admitted fact. It
is obvious that when the blood becomes
corrupt the whole system is corrupt also,
and those organs which are weaker from
functional derangement will suffer most.
The large majority of female diseases
proceed frpm this cause. The trne poli
cy is to direct the remedy to-the source
of the disease. It is in this way that
Dr. Tutt’s Sarsaparilla and Queen’s
Delight acts. Its specific effect is on
the blood. It purifies, vitalizes it, ex
pelling all distemper from the system.

NO ONE QUESTIONS THE FACT THAT MORE
cases of whites, Suppressed and irregular mei ses

Weekly Review ef Augusta Market.
Augusta. Ga., Fbipat Afternoon, 1
October 9, 1874. j
The Coarse and Situation of Trade.
The week has fused without any ‘‘dramatic
sitnatipns" in any particular article except
Bacon and Bulk Meats. They have been on
the down grade, and continue so at the mo
ment of making up oar weekly review.
The amount of transactions in everything
has been greater than the corresponding week,
particularly so in Provisionsand Dry Goods. We
report trade active and the demand for all
leading articles steady, and that in the majori
ty of sales the cash has been paid
Stocks of western produce, with the excep
tion of grain, are now much heavier than a
week ago. Cotton has been pooling into this
market in a steady stream, a large per cent of
it turned into money and in turn passed ovtr
onr counters for merchandise.
Our Fall trade, when we compare it with the
dull Summer, has been so far quite satisfac
tory. Working upou small margins our mer
chants have folly held all the trade which is
naturally there.
The stocks of general New York and Balti
more groceries. Coffees and Sugars have been
increased, and there is plenty on hand to sup
ply presentßDd prospective demand. Competi
tion is so great that our market offers extra
ordinary attractions in almost every stand ird
article. Our lines of communication are now
so perfect and transit so rapid, that • quick
sales and small profits" is an expression which
means something more than it used to.
Financial Review of the Week.
By the statements published yesterday it
will be seen that our Banks ho’d less surplus
money than was supposed, less than the easy
condition of the general market would lead
one to think they held. Our merchants report
orally in their financial condition a great deal
more satisfactory than four weeks ago. But it
would seem that very little of the large amount
of currency which has been received from the
sales of Cotton has so far found its way into
our banking institutions.
Rates of Interest.
The rates of intereet now charged are:
Short dates 13 to 15 percent, perannum. Long
18. First class paper is the only kind m re
quest. In order to obtain money good collat
erals are imperatively demanded, and will be
until money is a great deal easier than at pres
ent.
Stocks and Bonds.
There is very little money as yet seeking in
vestment in Stocks and Bonds. The market
for everything during the week has scarcely
lisen more than nominal. We make several
important changes_in the quotations following.
The Dry Goods Situation.
Trade has greatly improved eince our last
report. The partial stopping of Northern mills
has had a direct effect upon Cotton Goods in
that it has made them stronger. They have
remained very steady since last w eek, and al
though firm at tho quotations no advance has
been established. Dealers anticipate a rise in
prints, brown and bleached goods, and hence
are refusing to make any great concessions no
matter what may be the quantities asked for.
They now have more confidence than any time
during the last eight weeks. Thanks to high
protective tariffs, consumers in this country
have not the privilege of buying English
goods at living rates, or else, as low as calicoes
and sheetings are now they would be lower
still, or at least would be held down at the
present rates.
The stocks held in Augusta are ample to
supply the demand. The Fall and Winter
trade for gents clothing has not opened hardly.
The weather continues so pleasant that people
have not thrown off their Summer clothes alto
gether. ...

The Grain Market.
Trade in Western Com has flattened out to
the little end of nothing. With the exception
of a small demand by millers for grinding we
have had no trade. The difference in the price
of Georgia and Western Com is now so great
that the latter has been mled off the market
except for purposes of making very fine com
meal. We quoie:

The Meat Market.
The general giving away of 3he market so
long anticipated seems to" have come at last.
Our last weekly review left Clear Bibbed Ba
con Sides at 161 cents. To-day they barely
command 15). ltouqd lots for the cash might
be obtained with the fraction off. but sales are
generally upon the basis of 15). The old crop
has passed so far under the shadow of the new
that holders in all the great markets are ex
ceedingly anxious to unload. The majority of
shipments are upon c imnission with instruc
tions to sell at the best rates possible. We

- COTTON REVIEW.
The market for cotton on spot has been
pressed withjmucli irregularity in values. Du
ring the early part of the week trado was ex
ceedingly dull, and prices gradually reduced.
Towards the close,business from importers im
proved and a partial recovery occurred in
prices. Specu’ative dealings have not been
very liberal, particularly in Spring months.
Prospective shipments from Southern ports
had a hardening tendency in the early months,
which closed up quite firm at 15 5-32 for Octo
ber and November and 16 11-16 for December.
