MINOR TOPICS.
The Neehville Union and American say# the
postal telegraph scheme is practically dead.
Portimaetcr-Oeneral Jewell, who has witnessed
the operations of the system in Europe, is not
erv mnch taken with it, and will not recom
mend its adoption in this country, while the
President will pass it by in bis message in otter
silence.
The white Unionists of the Northern por
tion of Alabama will, it is said, rote with the
Democrats this Fall for the first time since
1861, and many negroes will rote the same
ticket for the first time in their lires. The
Memphis Appeal says the whole body of intel
ligent whites are straiDing every nerve to pre
vdht collisions between the race*, while the
Grantites. from Attorney Williams down, are
moving and earth to create trouble, as
their only hope lie# in Federal interference at
the ballot box. Bnt it wont win. The result
of the elections in the Waat on Tuesday say so.
A work recently published in London bears
the following comprehensive title: “The
Original List of Persons of Quality; Emi
grants; Keligious Exiles; PoliUcal Rebel#:
Kepving Men Sold for a Term of Years; Ap
prentices; Children btolen; Maidens Pressed,
and others who went from Great Britain to the
American plantations 1600-1700, etc." The
statistics furnished throw considerable light
on our early American genealogy and the
status of the settlers. Some of the first fami
lies wilt be flattered by the work; others will
regard it as an intrusive piece of genealogical
impertinence.
The increasing importance of Oregon as a
grain-producing State is shown by the amonnt
of her exports from August. lsT3. The wheat
exported from Portland to Great Britain from
that time to the end of June the present year
consisted of fifty-one cargoes, containing
938,626 centals, valued at $1,830,585, and of
eleven cargoes of llo'ir. containing 82.200 bar
rels, at $468,072. During the same period 421,-
701 centals of wheat and 124,546 barrels of
flour were shipped to Hau Francisco, making
the total amonnt of exports 1,360,326 centals
of wheat, valued at $2,621,815, and 206,752 bar
rels of flour, valued at $1,161,938.
The RepiMic twits the ungrateful people of
the South with the fact “that a republican
Congress responded to the agonizing appeal
that came up from drowning men and women
in the overflowed dustricts of Louisiana ar.d
Alabama by appropriating the munificent sum
of $590,000 for their relief.” They are now be
having so badly tliat the Republic seems to be
sorry that they were not allowed to drown.
The fact that there was no overflow in Alabama,
and that the bacon voted by Congress is being
distributed to lazy negroes for the purpose of
keeping them faithful tj carjwt-b&g officials,
seems to have been overlooked by the lie
public.
The Alabama outrages, covering a list of
sixty homicides, have now been sifted down to
two —the case of Billings, whose murderers are
utikqowu, and Ivey, the mulatto postal agent,
who was shot on hoard of a train of cars which
had been signalled to stop by a negro, though
the murder was perpetrated by unknown white
men. Neither of these murders has anything
more to do with politics than the late murders
perpetrated in the city of Philadelphia. No par
ty in Alabama justifies or upholds them. But
they make a splendid excuse for overrunning
the State with soldiers, and the “Department
of Justice" is improving its opportunity.
J\nnpU liar believes the English people are
threatened with another evil quite as porten
tous as dram drinking, tobacco smoking, or
save the mark—tea drinking. It is the vice
of reading reading too much and too great a
quantity of trash—reading when at homo —
reading when on a journey through tho most
beautiful lamlsoapos-reading when at sea.—
Wo are sorry, but tho Temple liar thinks the
modern newspaper full as noxious as the
modoru novel. That the writer is an old fogy
may he inferred from tho tact ho affirms that

m a year. He has never been in America.
Tho Commissioners who were deputed to
examino tho Union Pacific ltailroad and report
its condition to tho Government have fiuislied
their work and submitted the result. They
certify that tho road is first class in every re
spect, and fully meets the requirement of the
charter granted it by Congress. The report is
dated Balt Lake City, October 7, and is signed
liy all three of the Commissiomrs. It will re
quire tho approval of tho President of the
United States, and the formal acceptance of
the road as a completed struotnro before the
patonts will issue for tho land grant. These
patents call for over twelve million aoros of
land, which liavo heretofore been reserved for
the company in accordance with the terms of
its charter, and a considerable portion of
which has already been sold.
A liastv man, with his arms full of his wife's
baggage, thought he was left by the train last
night, ai.d running rapidly across a platform,
fell over a truck. He straddled one of tho
bandies and fodo it for a second, lunged for
ward and got his legs tangled up in tho cross
pieces, when tho malicious thing roared up
and slid forward just enough to throw tho man
off his balance and get him down ; ho blacked
his eye aud broke his spectacles against the
handle, and ran over his foot with the wheels,
and even after he got away from it aud was
seated in tlia car. lio says tho track ran after
him and kioked him twice in 'lie ribs before tho
brake man could take it away from him.
Concerning tho proposition to test tho third
term question by a joint resolution in Cougross
condemning it. the Sacramento Union says :
“This is a good and a strong suggesaiou, and
if carried out will certainly mako the election
of Orant for another term impossible. On the
other hand, should it be stasted and fail m
oither House, tho failure would greatly
strengthen the chances of the tliird-termers,
who might with much plausibility go into the
states and claim that the majority in Congress
favor their scheme, and that only tho Demo
crats aud a few discontented and disapjioiuted
Republicans oppose it; and they mainly to
deprive tho colored people and carpet baggers
of the protection which only Grant can give
them."
Petersburg, Virginia, has in District Judge
Hughes a man who is not afraid to do his duty.
It having been represented to him that respon
sible and promiuont persons had stated pub
licly that no Conservative would be allowed on
the jury to be impanelled for the trial of the
Petersburg judge of oloction. the Judge replied:
“It would be a gross breach of duty on tho
part of tho Marshal to summon juries from
party predilcctiou. • * * Although the
Court takes no cognizance of politics, yot, if a
jury wholly of one party were summoned, and
the facts were made known to the Court,
whether the result came by act or design, I
can speak for myself, and am sure I cau for
the Circuit Judge and the Chief Justice, and
say. that such a jury would not be allowed to
try a caso in the Circuit Court of tho United
States for this District.”
Novelists and poets of the first rank are not
nearly so well paid as actors of equal eminence
in their chosen profession. Mr. Sothem, for
instance, has played Lonl Dundreary nearly
(.000 times, and if he has received upon an
average S4OO for each performance, this Biugle
character has brought him the enormous sum
of $2,000,C00. Mr. Jefferson has appeared
about 2,000 times as Kip Von Winlte, aud if
lie received SSOO for each representation (his
terms, when he plays for a certainty, are S6OO.
and when ho shares with the management he
often takes $4,000 for half a dozen perform
ances) ho must have acquired $,1000,000 by
this aingle fortunate creation. It would, there
fore, appear that the “youngest of the sister
arts” is far more lucrative a: a profession—to
those who wiu the highest honors—than lite
rature. Hut poets and novelists have one com
pensation —their fame is broader and more en
during ihan the actor.— Boston Advertiser.
The New York Oanunetvud Advertiser is de
lighted with the speech of Mr. Butler the other
night, when he said “the war is not vet ended.”
“Iu that pregnant eentenoe, - ' says the Com
fiwrcuil, "ho gave the key note of tho cam
paign. He judges that a sham peace which al
lows the murder of men in every State of the
South on account of their principles. This is
the truth that the Essex statesman has dared
to utter. His fearless bugle blast is worth
10.090 men for the Republican ticket in Massa
chusetts.” Without presuming to doubt the
accuracv of this statement we venture to sug
gest that the value of Mr. Butler's “fearless
bugle blast” has usually been computed by the
thousand didlars. instead of the thousand men.
He charged Kellogg $3,000 for his "fearless
bugle blast,” but only got SI,OOO, and nobody
knows how many thousand dollars Oakes Ames
and Javue and Sanborn paid for his "fearless
bugle blast.” It i ono of the most expensive
bugle blasts the country has ever produced.
Everything in France is shaped with a view
to the contingency of the war. The hope and
expectation of eventually reachiag a satisfac
tory conclusion of the unpleasant sentiment
towards Germany seem* to be the inspiration
of nearly all the official measures of the coun
try. It is now found that France has only
about 3.000.000 horses, ef which not more than
300.000 are available for army use. The late war
destroyed 419,000 horses, aud the French army
now on its peace footing require* 100,000 a
year. “In case of war” this amount would in
crease to at least 250,000. and them is a possi
bility of a scarcity. The Government, there
fore, with the year 1875, is going to begin
breeding horses for itself on an extended scale.
At the rate of 200 a year, the number of
stallions kept at public expense is to be aug
mented until it reaches 2,500, and these are to
be of the best blood of the different races.
High prizes are to be given each year for
horses, mares and colts, and breeding is to be
in every way encouraged. Besides this sixty
of the best Arab mares are to be kept by the
Government solely for the production of blood
horses. It will be interesting to note whether
this method or our own of multitudinous fairs
and soustaut bets, competition and races, will
jead to a better breed of animals.
THE COUNTY CONVICTS,
A Visit to Mr. Ilallahan’s Brick Yard
With tho establishment of the County
Court the old system of imprisoning
county criminals convicted of misde
meanors ceased, and the farming oat
plan was adopted. Mr. Dennis Halla
han entered into a contract to take at]
the convicts, paying all costs of Coart
and giving the county fifty dollars a
year for each male convict. He was
also to feed and clothe the prisoners,
and fnrnish them the necessary medical
attendance. The resnlt has demon
strated the wisdom of the adoption of
the system. Strolling vagrants—nui
sances* to the community—petty thieves
and others of the misdemeanor class
have been picked up by the police and
pat before the County Court, and
thence sent to the brick yard to lend
a helping hand towards the general
welfare. The connty itself has been
greatly benefitted in more ways than
one. An idle, worthless class has been
pnt to work, and the county receives
for their labor several thousand dollars
per annum—a sum which formerly had
to be paid out as court aud jail ex
penses, while the community received
no benefit from the incarceration of the
criminals. Whatever general objections
may be urged against the system of
fanning out convicts, and there are
doubtless many and good ones, in this
particular county it has proved to be a
good thing, and has worked admirably
for all parties concerned. The convicts
themselves receive certain benefits from
it. They are tanght a useful and lucra
tive employment, and thus aided to ab
stain from committing crime again, af
ter their term of service shall have ex
pired. Indeed many of the prisoners
have voluntarily remained with Mr.
Hallahan at the expiration of their sen
tence and worked on as usual.
Yesterday we paid a visit to the brick
yard and made a general tour of in
spection. The tables of fresh moulded
bricks, the dusky forms of the laborers,
moving to aud fro, and the air of busi
ness apparent on every side, denoted that
the works were in full operation. We
were informed that there were about two
millions of brick, burned and unburned,
in the yard. About twenty-two thou
sand brick are made daily at the present
time. During the last four months an
average of thirty-five thousand bricks
per day have been sold.
There are now under Mr. Hallahan’s
charge teventy-five convicts, the ma
jority of whom are men. Twenty-five of
this number, however, are working out
costs and will be discharged next week
and the week after. Of the regulars,
fifty in number, thirty-three are
men, ten boys and seven women.—
Nearly all are six or twelve months
convicts. Tho principal portion have
been convicted for vagrancy. Among
these are seven or eight Bridge
Bow “rats,” boys and girls, men and
women, notorious characters, whom the
police very properly picked up and
helped on the way to useful employ
ment. The effect of their absence is
very visible about the classic regions of
Bridge Bow. The pavement is now free
for pedestrians and not crowded with
idle, worthless characters. Our citizens
are certainly indebted to the police and
to the County Court for ridding the
community of these vagrants.
While we were at the brick yard the
bell rang for dinner. The convicts in
stantly proceeded to the south side of
the immense kiln, formed a line along
the wall and waited for rations. In a
few moments two negro women appear
ed with two hand carts, on which were
placed large vessels with the noon day
meal. Commencing at tho head of
the line these handed out, with
strict impartiality, a substantial hunk
of good wholesome bread and a large
piece of boiled bacon to each. In addi
tion to this every one received a bucket
full of boiled “greens,” the favorite
vegetable of the plantation darkey. Tho
provisions served out, each convict took
such position as best pleased himself
or herself aud proceeded to discuss the
food with evident relish. A novel scene
it was. Seventy-five men, women and
half grown boys and girls in different at
titudes, the clothing, arms and even the
faces of some are yellow with the earth
from the brick works, and all eating
with a zest • while not an infrequent
hearty laugh or jest sounded on the air.
We saw but few sullen faces among the
entire number, and their possessors are
well known in the criminal annals of
the county as hardened charac
ters"; men and women steeped in
crime. The universal answer to
questions as to their treatment was:
“Oh, we is satisfied; the boss treats ns
all right.” The question as to whether
they received enough to eat seemed al
most superfluous, but it was askeu
nevertheless, and met with a ready re
sponse in the affirmative. In the face
of the huge hunks of bread and meat in
the hands of each convict it could not
well liavo been anything else. One wo
man, when asked how she was satisfied,
replied: “Well, sir, I’m gwine to stay
jes ns long as de boss will let me,” pret
ty conclusive testimony that she was not
dissatisfied. This woman was a notori
ous vagrant and street walker when she
was taken up. She now Announces her
determination to go into the country
and work on a plantation when she
leaves the brick yard.
The sleeping quarters of tho convicts
are in a long brick building. The men
are placed in one apartment, the women
aud girls in another, and the boys in a
third. Each cot is furnished with a
couple of blankets. It would be better,
doubtless, if a matress was also pnt on
every bunk, and we make the suggestion
to Mr. Hullahau that such be done be
fore the cold weather commences.
A committee of the grand jury visited
the brick yard yesterday, and will em
body their report in regard to the con
vict, in tho presentments of that body.

“ The Life of the Flesh is the

October 23, 1874. f
The Course and Situation of Trade.
Trade for the week ending to day has been
most excellent, the bulk of transactions being
far greater than any week since the beginning
of the season. With an easy money market
and ample stocks, the demand for almost
everything has been very heavy, and sates rela
tively as great as almost any week remembered
since the close of tba war.'
It is perhaps not out of place here to remark
thaUour city’s commercial affairs are as healthy
as ever known since its existence. Instead of
losing any trade by the energetic and sleepless
rivalry of other centres, we hold all we ever
had and much more beside. Having completed
our system of railways so that it now radiates
to all points of the compass, with the excep
tion of immediately along the banks of the Sa
vannah river, we are now in position to com
mand trade from every section for hundreds of
miles around us. offering quick, speedy and
perfect transportation. And whilst we lack a
railway immediately along the Valley of the
Savannah river we have in its stead a lini of
Petersburg boats, which, though imperfectly,
yet in the end brings us in direct communica
tion with that portion of Georgia and Sonth
Carolina lying north of ns and along that
stream. A radway will be built after awhile.
At present the finances of the country will not
justify the building of this as any other new
road.
During the week under review the meat mar
ket has been very unsettled and downward.
Grain has been steady, demand good for old
Western. General Groceries have scarcely
changed a single fraction, although the market
has been very active.
Hie Liquor trade has greatly improved,
especially for the common grades, but the de
mand for fine Wines and excellent brands of
Whisky and Brandy is far in excess of any
period for seven or eight months.
In Hardware, Leather. Drugs. Boots, Shoes.
Fruit. Candies and the hundred other articles
entering into the legitimate trade of a South
ern markat, we notice the greatest activity.
The Dry Goods Situation.
Onr great Dry Goods houses report business
very heavy—as much indeed as they could v eil
attend to. The volume of retail transactions
has been as large, if not greater, than for any
week for many years. Every household is
busy making up Fall and Winter outfits.
Cotton Goods—Prints. Shirtings aud Sheet
ings—though not quotably higher have a strong
upward tendency. Northern Factory men in
sist that it is impossible for them to reduce
their prices and pay the present rates for cot
ton, aud further insist that they are forced to
sell now at shorter profits than they ever did.
Well, with first rate calicoes at 10 cents per
yard, considering that five years ago the price
was 25. and 3-4 stortings at 61, the consumer
has no right to grumble. And if our friend,
the planter, is not getting as mnch for his
cotton as ho used to he must remember that
no one is getting the price hedii when cotton
was 25 cents per pound for anything he had for
sale to the planter in clothing and provisions.
The great laws of supply and demand—laws
which are more imperious and more immuta
ble than our written laws, and which seven
eighths of the world labor hard to ignore only
to be worsted by their ignorance—work for no
one specially, but spread over the whole.
Yesterday they dictated 25 cents per pound for
cotton, 20 cents per yard for cotton goods, and
18 cents per pound for bacon To-day they de
cree 14 cents for cotton, 10 cents for cotton
goods, and 12 for bacon. So that it is quite a
simple calculation to arrive at a correct conclu
sion whether the times are better or worse now
than tliev were at any previous date. And
fortunately for the happiness of the human
family, thebe laws will not permit the total
absorption of any particular article by one man
or one community of men. Working here as
the laws of nature, which gives its richest
plumage and poorest voice to the peacock,
hut the richest voice and ugliest plumage to
the mocking bird, these lav>s rebel against one
person acquiring everything.
Stocks, Bonds and Money.
The money market lias greatly improved. A
steady stream of greenbacks, aggregating
$75,000 per day. has poured into the market,
and gono into the pockets of planters or to
their creditors during the week as the result of
tho sales of cotton. The gross aggregate sales
of cotton from last Saturday to to-day (Friday)
have been 9,162 bales, bringing $492,156. This
is truly a round sum of money for one little
city to distribute in tho course of six days. Our
banks have command of ample facilities to
move the cotton crop, aud as heavy as the sates
have been have promptly furnished the
money to pay for them.
Stocks and Bonds are still veiy inactive. As
low as Railway Securities are there seems to bo
no disposition to invest in them to any great
extent This branch of American enterprise,
which during tho first half of the piesent cen
tury struggled linrd tor existence, gained such
impetus during the last twenty years that it
ran ahead of the demands of trade and travel.
It must therefore stand still until the progress
of the country grows apace.

The Augusta Cotton Market.
By the statements below it will be seen that
receipts and sales have been large. And just
here it is proper to say that the quality of the
Cotton received so far has boen uniformly the
finest ever known. The great hulk of it has
classed either Low or Middling. This, to some
extent, is attributable to tho tine weather we
nave had, with scaroely one day’s rain tinoe
the beginning of the picking season. But the
chief reason why all Cotton nearly is now
brought to market in a cleanly and beautiful
condition is the perfection to which gins have
been brought. The difference between the
new gins now in use and those of ten years ago
is very great. Rivalry has so sharpened the
wits of the gin manufacturers that they are
now turning off machines which winnow
nearly every moat from the staple, making
samples on tho boards look like hillocks of
snow. And this is money to the planter, and
lots of it.
The fluctuations in our market for the week
have not been much. It has declined about

The Augusta Meat Market.
Our last general review quoted Clear Ribbed
Bacon Sides at 131 to 13f. These prices were
maintained Saturday and Monday, bnt on Tues
day the fractions were lost, and on Wednesday
they fell below 13. The quotation to-day is
11J to 12. It has gone down everywhere all
over the United Statee, holders showing the
keenest anxiety to realize, under the convic
tion that prices had to come down before the
new crop. The demand during the latter part
of the week much improved. It has now
touched a point in value where the consumer
no longer buys from hand to mouth, but takes
enough to supply his wants for several weeks
at a time. We quote the market as follows,
remarking that it is still unsettled:

THE AUGUSTA MARKETS.
Augusta, October 24, 1874.
General Remarks.
We had a good trade to-day for Saturday—
very good. The sales of Cotton footed up
1,281 bales—aggregating, $79,422.
The leading item of attention in the line of
Provisions was Meat, which recovered its de
moralization of yesterday, and went back to
Thursday’s quotations. There was nothing of
consequence doing in Western Grain. Flour
continued activo.
Money is quite easy. We hear of no one
complaining of getting bank accommodations
who present such paper as the banks want. But
in consequence of the heavy transactions in
New York Exchange commercial paper of long
dates is not very desirable.
The Cotton Market.
Middling declined sc. to-day. , The market
closed quiet, with a good demand at the easier
prices:
Good Ordinary 13
Low Middling 131(5)13$
Middling i.sj
Receipts. 1,660; sales, 1.28 E Receipts at all
ports, 18,468. This day last year, 15,848.
The Meat Market.
Upon the reception of dispatches from other
markets this morning there waH a brisk de
mand, which quickly caused the market to
rally and advance. By noon fully 1 cent had
been gained, and at the closing hours it was
quoted still another sc. higher than yesterday.
We remark the market closing firm, and quote:

COTTON REVIEW.
The market for cotton on spot has been dull
and depressed throughout the entire week.
The dealings on the part of spinners was very
moderate and the greater portion of the sales
was on export account. Heavy arrivals have
lead to increased offerings on the dock, but
there are very few buyers operating and the
market closas dull and weak. The totai sales
of the week were 179,097 bales, of whioh 167 -
700 were on contract and 11,497 for immediate
delivery.

years have proven them to be the safest, surest and
best of all the pills ever offered to the public. They
purify the blood, remove all corruptions and restore
the diseased system to perfect health. As an Anti
dote to Chills and Fever they have no equal. For
Dyspepsia they are a Specific. For Sirk Head
ache and Bilious Colic they are a suro cura. For
Constipation, Rheumatism. Piles, Palpitation
of the Heart, Pain in the Side, Rack and Loins,
Nervousness, a positive remedy. For Female
Irregularities, w ithout a rival. When ono does

The ghostly record of deaths that result from
pulmonary affections ia frightful. There is no dis
ease that is so insidious in its attack as consumption.
By the neglect of “slight colds” they soon become
deep seated and defy remedies which, if applied at
the outset, would have averted ali danger. Dr.
Tutt’s Expectorant has proven itself the most val
uable Dung Balsam ever discovered. A distin
guished clergyman of New York pronounces it the
“greatest blessing of the nineteenth century,” and
says “no family should be without it.” It is pleasant
to the taste, and a single dose will often remove the
most obstinate cough. Office, 18 Murray Street,
