X. Ann Elisa Young, the nineteenth better

aerenthof Brigham Youog, was expelled the
other day from the Mormon Church. Aa this
expulsion is simply an imperatire command to
St. Peter to alam tha door in Ann Elisa's face
when ahe approaches the entrance to Paradise,
the poor creature "how has no more chance for
Hessen than an ordinary Christian.
A man named Lyon attempted to elope the
other day, in Brooklyn, ,with a thirteen year
old girl. If these Lyons that go about seek
ing whom they may elope with and silly female
infancy can be restrained in na other way, we
shall hare to send for Gordon Cummings to
coma var and hunt them to their lairs. A
thirteen year old girl has no more business
with a husband than a superannuated pauper
has with a broken legged elephant.
Judge Bi etch ford, if the United States Dis
trict Court in NeV York, has decided that
stockholders in Kational Banks remains liable
in the manner prescribed by the law so long as
they pqgnit their names to remain upon the
books of the bank and neglect to transfer
their stock upon the books to someone who
shall accept and succeed to the liability, even
though the stock may have been sold and as
signed on the I tack of the certificate of stock
or a power of attorney given to transfer it.
The ring that beats Tweed’s ring, or any
other ever yet ventilated in this country, is the
Washington District Bing. The debt of the
District government, which can now be very
closely approximated, amounts to $25,000,000.
According to ring estimates it was $10,000,000.
The expenditures of the over $30.-
000,000. When it is stated that the whole tax
able property in the District is worth only $96.-
000.000, the enormity of the grab msy be ap
preciated.
The subscriptions to the memorial statne of
the late William H. Seward, which is to be
placed in the Central Park, New York, have
nearly all been paid. The committee on funds
have received abotff’ $20,000. Mr. Bandolph
Bogers, the sculptor, who has the order for the
statue, is making very satisfactory progress on
it at Borne, and it is expected that it will be
completed before another year has passed. The
statne will be made of- bronze, sixteen and a
half feat high, and is to be delivered and put
up in lib Central Park for $25,000.
A New York letter says that as a performer,
Miss Cushman has made more money thau any
other American except Forrest. She is esti
mated at a quarter million. This may be too
liberal a rate, but it is to be remembered that
her engagements have brought of late years at
least S4OO a night. Other stars, howover, have
do: e very well. Madame Neilsstm is immense
ly rich, while Joe Jefferson, Chanfrau and
other veteran comedians are in independent
positions. Jefferson can command S3OO a
night, while even Sol Russell gets SIOO a week.
James Hassell Lower, who was tendered the
Russian mission by Grant, wrote the last time
he was abroad:
•*I scanned the festering news we half despise
Yet scramble for no less,
And read of public scandal, private fraud.
Crime flaunting soott-free while the mob ap-
plaud,
Office made vile to bribe unworthiness
And all the unwholesome mess.
The land of broken promise serves of lata
To teach the old world how to wait.”
The latest soheme “to save the party" is by
gigantic “internal improvements.” A few
Congressmen and eminent lobbyists have been
at work for a fortnight trying to obtain'posses
slon of the President. They tell him that all (
that is needed to pnt the Republican party
back where it was two years ago—in the affec
tions of the people—is to revive trade, busi
ness and speculation, and that there ie but one
way to do this--to open up new avenues for
trade and commerce. This, in plain English,
means that the Northern Pacific, the Texas
Pacific, the Pacific Mail Steamship Company
and three or four other enterprises are to bo
"revived” by Congressional aid.
Ex-Governor Seymour, in ft recent letter to a
friend, says: “Yon will see by the papers
th at I am not a* candidate for the office of
United States Senator. I have made- up my
mind that if ft man who has reaohed the age of
sixty is not as influential out of office as he can
be iu o fflci&l position, he has failed to make a
good character and record. At and after that
age ho should hold an unselfish relation to
affairs. I mean to take an interest in public
affairs, and to serve my country to the extent
of my abilities, but I shall do so in a private
station. If my experience or”counsele or ex
ertions sre of any value, they will be given to
uphold those priuciples .which I deem to be
right.”
It would be a refreshing sight to see the
gray locks of Jere Black waviug in the Senate
Chamber of the United States. Thoy would
present -a striking contrast to the curling
drake's trail that adorns the brow of Conk
ling, and which quivers energetically when
ever that oratorioal peabird undertakes to
crush “the second rebellion,” and it is s vfe to
say that the latter would not flourish by the
aide of the former. Nothing would look more
like returning to constitutional government.
Nothing would enable us to realize so fully
that we have gained a real Democratic vic
tory. It would be like the intelligence and
virtue of a people returning and restoring a
classic statue that has been torn down by the
xuob.
The Duke of Edinburgh's baby has already
begun to taste some of the sweets of roy
alty, having received a great uumbor of nice
presents from his royal relations, including a
cradle in silver filigree, lined with pink silk,
pink curtains, oovered with white lace, held up
by an elegantly chiselled pole, with a charm
ing baby-face looking out from a knot of pink
ribbon. Prinoo Beatrice has worked a quilt of
■white satin for this beantiful cradle, and em
broidered the same with roses, so naturally as
almost to deceive the eye. A silver gilt ser
vice, consisting of a saucepan, plate, mug,
spoon and fork of the same, engraved with
the arms of England and the initials of tho
royal baby, are also among the presents.
Decidedly the floeet turnouts in Washington,
eays a correspondent, are those of President
Grant and Postmaster-General Jewell. The
former consists of fonr blooded bay horses,
which are generally driven to a landanlet, the
harness being silver mounted, and their ap
pearance on the street always attracts consid
erable attention, from the fact they are beauti
fully matched. The turnout of Postmaster-
General Jewell is generally considered by
connoisseurs to be the finest iu the city. He
drives in his landau two magnificent blacks
that can make their mile easily inside of 2:50,
and their Btyle of action always makes them
uoticeablo. Mr. W. W. Corcoran, the wealthy
baaker, and George Bancroft also drive splendid
teams.
The wealth of the Hon. Wm. Sharon, who is
almost certain of election to tho United States
Senate by the new Legislature of Nevada, is
almost fabulous. The treasures of Aladdin are
mean by comparison ; and as for Senator
Jones, who is reputed to bo the richest mau in
Washington, his circumstances are pitiable
when viewed from the stand-point of his pros- j
<peetive colleague. A measure of Sharon's i
wealth may be found in bis wedding present to
Uis daughter, whose marriage was reported in
yesterday morning's paper. It was $1,000,000.
Besides, there is a tacit understanding between
the father and the young couple that they
nUall be free of his puree. Yet the young at
torney who married Miss Sharon will have
mad* a bad bargain if bis wife is not worth
mar* to him than the round million dollars.
The truth of the position that “conscience
makes rewards of ns all” finds illustration in
the hiding of Dr. Yanderlindeu Putoy. the j
younger, whilom of the town of Boie-le due.
In his giddy youth Mr. Yanderlindeu, no donbt
like so many other young gentlemen differing
with his parent as to the adequacy of his al
lowance, helped himself to s very handsome
amount of his father's money and left for
part* unknown. Instead of cutting this prodi
gal off with a franc, the father, who died
enormously rich, left him a great fortune, bat
evsry effort to discover Ins whereabouts for a
long tune failed. Lately, however, his cousin
and ft companion felt sure that they recog
nise him in a man they met in a cafe at Brus
sels, bat the map denied the identity, and
whilst they wet* debating what they had bet
ter do hs took up his hat and vanished. Tha
Brussels police tre now looking for the heir,
but it may be doubted whether anything short
of a sight of the will will convince him that he
-wanted" for anything to his advantage.
After every tragedy like that of the siege of
Paris, there are episodes of more or less hu
man' interest —the unearthing of hidden se
crets—the arrest of notorious criminals—the
lucky escape of leaders. These are scattered
over long years. One, probably the last—un
less Rochefort is arrested, or some Marquis of
Oarabas undiscovered to have led the Commu
nist in a sortie from Paris—has just terminated
in a sentence of transportation of one Colonel
Yinot. This Colonel was a woman, Yirginia
Benedict, by name. Her participation in the
troubles of die Commune was discovered by
aeeident, which accounts for her trial at this
late day. She was arrested for another offense,
and upon searching her room undoubted evi
dence was found that she, attired as a sailor,
was one of the furies let loose upon the city,
and engaged in the more serious of the riots.
Accusations were even made that she was one
of the most fiendish of the band who slaughter
ed the cures in--the Rue Haxo, and that she
bore a gun upon her shoulder, and a revolver
in her belt, and cried as the prisoners passed,
“No merpy for the priests."
THE CITY FATHERS.
MEETING OF COUNCIL YESTER
DAY.
Inauguration of the Newly Elected
Mayor and Members of QoancU—
Message from Mayor Estes.
Council met in the Council Chamber
yesterday, at 12 o’clock, for the purpose
of inaugnrating the newly elected Mayor
and members of Council.
Present: HU Honor Mayor Estes and
Councilmen Thompson, Sibley, Pour
nelle, Philip, Hillyer, Bennett, Doris
and Carwile.
The minutes were read and confirmed.
By request of Mr. Carwile the Mayor
retired from the room and Mr. Philip
took the Chair.
Mr. Carwile offered the follow resolu
tions, which were unanimously adopted :
Whebeas, The term of office of Hon,
Charles Estes, as Mayor of Augusta for
the fourth consecutive time, is abont to
expire, it behooves us who have been
associated with him in the past year to
express onr feelings towards him at thU
time—the close of his administration;
therefore be it
Resolved, That we express our heart
felt approval of the official conduct of
Mayor Estes during the past year, be
lieving that he has therein met the ap
probation not only of this Council but
of the entire community.
Resolved, That to his zeal and untir
ing energy as Mayor, the city is in a
great measure indebted for its present
prosperity, and the works of improve
ment now so favorably progressing in a
fair way of speedy and successful com
pletion.
Resolved, That to Mayor Estes we
tender our sincere thanks for his uni
form kindness and courtesy as our pre
siding officer, and extend tc him our
best wishes for hU future success and
happiness, both as a public officer and a
citizen of Augusta.
Resolved, That these resolutions be
entered on the minntes and a copy pre
sented to Mr. Estes.
Mr. Carwile moved that a committee
of one from each ward be appointed to
condnct the Mayor back to the Council
Chamber. Adopted.
The Chairman appointed Messrs. Car
wile, Hillyer. Pournelle and Thompson
as the committee.
The committee retired and soon re
turned with Mr. Estes. The Clerk read
the resolutions just adopted.
Mayor Estes returned his thanks to
Council for the complimentary manner
in which they referred to him. He
trusted that their associations in the fu
ture would be as pleasant as they had
been in the past.
The Clerk read the official returns of
the election Wednesday, as published in

Councilman Philip then administered
the oath of office to his Honor Mayor
Estes.
Mayor Estes read the following mes- j
sage :
Gentlemen of the City Council :
By the votes of our fellow-citizens to
our care has been entrusted the interests
of the city for the ensuing year. For
the confidence thus bestowed I return
my sincere thanks. lam glad to have
the co-operation of so intelligent and
experienced a body, and hope that with
yonr valuable assistance we shall be able
to satisfy the expectations of our fellow
citizens* I think yon will agree with
me that no government, great or small,
should expect or is entitled to public
confidence unless it exercises great care
in enacting and enforcing just laws, aud
•also iu exercising its appointing power
by the selection of those only who are
well qualified and of undoubted integ
rity, eschewing so far as human frailty
wiil admit mere personal friendship, or
what is commonly termed, political in
fluence. If political influence is desired,
hy making appointments of such only
as possess these traits, it will be sure to
follow.
The Lamar Bequest.
It will become your duty to make
such provision as will enable the city to
avail itself of the noble bequest of the
late G. B. Lamar, who has provided in
his will that $50,000 shall be paid to the
City Council of Augusta for a hospital
fund for aged and decrepit colored per
sons, conditioned upon the recovery of
his cotton claims, and the establishment
of such hospital within two years after
the provision is due and payable. This
information I have from his sou, one of
the executors, to whom I wrote. I have
also requested the city attorney to ob
tain a certified copy of the will, so that
we may the more fully understand the
matter. As I understand the case now,
Mr. Lamar compromised or settled his
claims with the Government, therefore
that condition is complied with.
The Street Railroad.
I call your attention to the necessity
of taking such steps as will emancipate
the business interests of Augusta from
the onerous charges levied on them by
the Street Railroad. You should make
an earnest effort at least to have all
freights shipped to aDd from Augusta,
for the trade of Augusta, or to or by the
people of Augusta, absolutely free to
the depots of the several railroads, or
shipped from them to points out of the
city. If this cannot be accomplished
by your own action, then the Legisla
ture should be appealed to.
Taxation aud Finance.
Without a repeal or material modifica
tion of the law of the Legislature,
passed February 28, 1874, regulating
municipal taxation, you will find it veiy
difficult to raise the necessary funds to
meet current ordinary expenses. But
I make no doubt our able representa
tives will see that the needed amend
ments are made by the time you will be
compelled to fix the rates of taxation
for 1875.
Sixty thousand dollars of city bonds
issued in 1859 matured in January last
and were paid. On the first of July
next one hundred thousand dollars is
sued in 1865 fall due and must be paid
in cash. Therefore it will be your duty
to provide the means for their prompt
payment.
Water Works and Canal.
The use of the water from the river
water works, by the printing and other
presses, for motive poorer, will require
your immediate attention, seeing that
the eity gets just compensation and that
it is used under proper restraints, guard
ing particularly the wants of families
and its use in case of fires. The canal
enlargement is approching completion.
The contract for the bulk head was let
some time since and is about half finish
ed. The contracting for aud building
of the dam alone remains to be attended
to. The work, like almost all others of
a similar character, will cost a good deal
more than the first estimate, but not
near so as predicted by very many
of our oitizens. The total expenditure
on the canal to the Ist inst., is
For enlargement $494,010 96
For canal damages 21,743 85
Included in the items for enlargement
are all expenses for engineering ’ and for
all extra work, such as repairing breaks,
strengthening banks, changing gates,
etc. {Jome weak places were developed
in testing the work, which have been
strengthened in snch manner as to make
them, I hope, perfectly safe, all of which
has oaused a considerable outlay of mo
ney, not calculated for in the original
estimate; bnt I think we have gotten
abont through with these difficulties.
They have been qnite as few as should
have been looked for.
Savannah River Improvement.
In accordance with a resolution of
Council, the Canal Committee employed
W. W. Thomas, Esq., an engineer of
considerable experience, and of great
promise in his profession, to make a
survey of the Savannah river from Au
gusta to Andersonville, S. C., a distance
of 115 miles, who has performed that
duty, and his report is herewith submit
ted. It will be seen that his conclusions
are that the best that can be done is to
clear ont the channel only for snch
boats as are now used, but of larger
capacity. That then it would not be
necessary that pilots would require
much experience to navigate the river
safely. That the cost thereof to Trot
ter’s Shoals, say 55 miles, would be
$60,000, and from there to Anderson
ville, 60 miles farther, say sl-40,000. He
thinks to make the river navigable for
steamboats the benefits would not be
commensurate with the cost From ths
present outlook I do not bee much pros
pect of any improvement of the Savan
nah for some time to come.
Firemen and Police.
Our Fire Department, under the man
agement of its worthy and efficient chief,
is all that its most ardent friends could
desire, and so long as it continues to be
composed of the same class of citizens
as it is now, will no doubt maintain its
well merited standing.
The members of the police have, as a
general rule, done their duty well under
the able management of the chief and
his lieutenants, all of whom I have
always found prompt, efficient and dis
creet in the discharge of tbeir duties.
Before closing, I will again call your
attention to the propriety of procuring
an amendment to the city charter mak
ing the Mayor and members of Council
terms three years, and rendering the
Mayor ineligible for the succeeding.term,
one member from each ward retiring
annually.
Invoking the aid of the All-wise Ruler
of events in the discharge of our duties,
I pronounce Council organized aud ready
for business.
On motion of Mr. Carwile, the Mayor
was authorized to appoint the standing
committees at his leisure.
On motion of Mr. Philip, the rules of
the old Council were adopted for the
government of the new.
On motion, Council adjourned.
MEETING OF THE BAR.
Judge Olnson Requested to Postpone
the Adjourned Term of the Superior
Court—Jury Exemptions.
Pursuant to uotioe a meeting of th'e
Richmond county Bar was held at the
office of Jas. C. C. Black, Esq., yester
day, at 11 o’clock.
On motion, Judge Wm. T. Gould was
| called to the Chair, and J. L. Maxwell,
Esq., requested to act as Secretary.
Frank iL Miller, Esq., said the object
of the meeting was to take some action
in regard to the adjourned term of the
Snperior Court. The docket of the Au
gusta Circuit would be reached in the
Supreme Court to-day, and would prob
ably occupy the whole of this and next
week. Several members of the bar
would have to attend the Supreme
Court, and would therefore be unable
to be in attendance on the adjourned
term of the Superior Court next week.
As maDy cases had been assigned for
trial next week it was important that
t-ome action should be taken by the bar.
Major J. B. Cumming offered the fol
lowing resolution, which was adopted:
Resolved, That His Honor Judge
Gibson be requested to hold Court for
the transaction of civil business, for at
least two weeks, commencing the first
Monday in January instead of two weeks
from December 7th, and that all cases
on the assignment docket retain their
relative positions on said docket.
Judge Hook said at every term of
Court they were met by the difficulty of
a conflict between the meeting of the
Superior Court and the call of the Au
gusta Circuit in the Supreme Court. He
understood that the Snpreme Court
would be willing to change the place of
the Circuit on the docket if the bar so
desired. He therefore moved that Geo.
T. Barnes, Wm. H. Hull and Frank H.
Miller, Esqrs., be appointed a commit
tee to request the Supreme Court to
place the Augusta Circuit earlier on the
docket than it is now, leaving it to the
committee to suggest the time.
Wm. T. .Davidsou, Esq., offered the
following preamble and resolution:
Inasmuch as the exemptions from jury
duty under the law rs applicable to this
county operate as a great burden to
those subject to such duty, thereby in
ducing all to seek exemption; and inas
much as this too liberal exemption with
its consequences, forces upon the county
incompetent and unsatisfactory juries:
Resolved, That the desire of this bar
is that the Representatives from this
county in the next General Assembly
advocate the repeal, so far as the law
permits, of all exemptions except offi
ciating ministers of the Gospel, school
teachers employed in teaching and phy
sicians in actual practice.
Frank H. Miller, Esq., amoved, as an
amendment-, that the Judges of all
Courts be prohibited from accepting
substitutes for jurj duty.
Mr. Davidson accepted the amend
ment.
Mr. Black said he had thought of in
corporating in any legislation on the sub
ject a provision compelling the attend
ance of jurors. In regard to firemen he
had been told by the Chief of the Fire
Department that if the exemption in re
lation to them was repealed it would
break up the department.
H. Clay Foster, Esq., didn’t thipk it
would. He thought if all exemptions
were done away with it would injure the
efficiency of the department to a certain
extent, but not to any considerable de-
gree.
Lient. M. P. Foster said he believed
in repealing all exemptions. He was
opposed to exempting military com
panies and had so stated time and time
again to the company to which he be
longed.
Judge Hook believed that Armen
should be exempted, and unless an ex
ception was to be made in regard to them
in the resolution he would vote against
it. The firemen exposed themselves to
a great deal of danger and some favor
should be shown them.
H. Clay Foster, Esq., thought it would
be best to leave the whole matter to Mr.
Black, one of our representatives in the
Legislature. Let Mr. Black meet the
officers of the department and he felt
sure a satisfactory conclusion could be
reached. He thought it would injure
the influence of the bar and interfere
with the administration of justice for
the bar to take action in this matter.
Judge Gould said a very large propor
tion of the best jurors in the county
were exempt under the present law.
Major Gumming said the number of
exemptions for each fire company was
entirely too large. He moved as an ad
dition to Mr. Davidson’s resolution the
words “ and a reasonable exception in
favor of the Fire Department of the city
of Augusta.”
Mr. Davidson accepted the amend
ment, and the resolution, as amended,
was adopted.
On motion, the meeting adjourned.
Handsome Car and an Impovement
on the Air Brake.— We mentioned a
day or two since that a handsome bag
gage ear had just been constructed at
the Georgia Railroad shops in this city.
We inspected the car yesterday and
were gratified to note its neat and sub
stantial appearance. Wood and iron
work, painting, and in fact everything
connected with the car, were done at the
shops and will compare favorably with
similar work from any Northern car
factory. The car was constructed under
the superintendencece of Mr. T. M. Pre
val, master mechanic. One of the most
noticeable points about the car is an im
provement on the Westingbouse air
brake. This improvement is the inven
tion of Mr. Proval, upon whom it re
flects great credit. The cost of the ap
plication of the brake to a single car
was formerly one hundred and fifty dol
lars. Mr. Preval’s improvement lessens
this cost one Jiundred dollars. The im
proved brake costs only fifty dollars per
car. It possesses not only the merit of
cheapness, but that of being much sim
pler than the original Westinghouse air
brake. The latter required several heavy
levers and pulleys, while the improved
brake is simple in its construction, occu
pies a much smaller space than the
other, is considerably lighter, and has
but few complications. It is destined
to entirely supplant the original brake.
A Successful Hunt.— The Covington
Enterprise says: Captain Wm. Dearing,
formerly of Augusta, but now of Ox
ford, extended to two of his Augusta
friends an invitation to take a day’s
sport in hunting with him on Thursday.
The kind invitation was pleasantly ac
cepted, and according to agreement the
genial and accommodating captain met
the gentlemen at the depot before day
in the morning, and escorted them to his
hospitable home near Oxford, where an
elegant breakfast awaited them. After
breakfast Major Jas. H. Griffin and H.
W. Means made their appearance, bring
ing two of the finest and best trained
pointers in Middle Georgia with them.
The gentlemen from Angusta were pro
vided with good horses and the party
left the house in search for birds. Ten
small coveys were found and 58 full
grown partridges bagged. Rabbits,
doves and larks were killed but not
counted. The whole party returned
highly elated at the sport and amusing
incidents and accidents of the day. Af
ter tea the guests were carried to the
depot, and after the usual parting sighs
and tears the sad “good-bye” was softly
spoken. Captain Dearing swung to Col.
Van Boren's claw-hammer coat tail un
til he sobbed out the sweet words, “we
will come again !” The Angusta gents
carried the game home and now speak
iu terms of admiration of Oxford and
her hospitable people.
Shipment of Ison to Liverpool.—
The Bound Mountain Coal and Iron
Company of Alabama has recently
shipped per steamer St. Louis, from Sa
vannah to Liverpool, fifty tons of their
superior cold blast charcoal pig iron.
The oompany believes it will find ready
sale at Liverpool for what they produce.
Daring the war there were upwards of
one hundred canuon made from this
iron, which were tested with four charges
of powder. None burs ted, thus showing
the great strength of this iron, which is
spoken of as being the best in the
South, and believed to be equal to the
Heckla or Saulsburg iron for car wheels
or cannon. For the latter it is spoken
of highly by army officers, and the com
pany thinks that it will be readily sold
at a remunerative _prioe iu England as
soon as tested. It has been making for
several weeks past 2,800 tons per week.
It is npt only suitable for ordinance and
ear wheels, but also suitable for chill
full ß , gearing and heavy machinery.
The oompany has recently refused to
lease their furnace for nineteen per cent,
per annum for two years on their capital
stock.
The gin house belonging to C. E. Bass
ford, one mile and a half from Smyrna, in
Cobb county, was burned, with ten bales
of cotton, on the Ist instant. It is not
known how the fire originated. There
was an insurance of $1,300, which will
hardly cover Mr. Bassford’s actual loss.
The gin house belonging to Elbert
Lewis and T. P. Barge, of Terrell coanty,
was burned on the night of the 30th
ult, together with about fifteen bales of
cotton.

Local and Business Notices.
Dozier & Walton.— We paid a visit
yesterday to the establishment of this
firm, located on Reynolds street, former
ly the stand of Josiah Sibley k Sons. It
is one of the most complete in the city,
comprising as it does a cotton ware
house and wholesale grocery combined.
The office and store are splendidly ar
ranged. The firm is a thorough going
one in every particular, and fully under
stand how to please the public.
RATIONAL MEDICATION.
MEDICATION IS ONLY SUCCESSFUL
when it is rational, and it is rational only when
it begins at the beginning. In other words, to
core a malady, its cause most be removed.—
Weakness, either general or local, is ihe origin
of the great majority of diseases. Reinforce
the vital energies, regulate digestion and se
cretion by strengthening the organa which per
form those all-important functions, and dys
pepsia, constipation, kidney and bladder com
plaints, uterine difficulties, impure circulation,
and the thousand and one other ailments
which are the consequences of debility, are
completely, and in most cases permanently, re
moved. The best, safest and most agreeable
tonic and alterative that can be employed for
this purpose is Hoettrier's Stomach Bitters.—
The experience of twenty-five years, daring
wnich time it has outlived perhaps ten times
that number of ephemeral preparations which
have entered into competition with it. has
proved it to be nneqnalled as a remedy for all
disorders accompanied by or proceeding from
weakness. dec-3thsatuAw

NO ONE QUESTIONS THE FACT THAT MORE
cases of whites, suppressed and irregular menses
and uterine obstructions, of every kind, are
being da cured by Dr. J. BradAeid's Female Regu

cess in Georgia and other Statea is beyond precedent
in tho annals of physic. Thousands of certificates
from women everywhere pour in upon the proprie
tor. The attention of prominent medical men is
aroused in behalf of this wonderful compound, and
the most successful practitioners use It. Its action is
pleasant, quick aud sure If women suffer hereafter
it will be their own fault. Female Regulator is pre

pleasure in stating that I have used for the last
twenty years the medicine yon are now putting up,
known as Dr. J. Bradfield’s FEMALE REGULATOR,

peculiar to their sex, may be able to procure a bottle,
that their sufferings may not only be relieved, but
that they may be restored to hoaltfa and strength.
With my kindest regards, I am, respectfully,

Weekly Review of Augusta Market.
Augusta. Ga.. Feld at Afternoon, )
December 4, 1874. )
The Coarse and Situation of Trade.
With most excellent weather throughout the
week under review, trade has moved along ad
mirably. The railway lines leading to the city
from every direction,’as well as the dirt roads,
are in most excellent order to facilitate com
merce and travel It would be almost next to
impossible to improve upon the existing sys
tem of transporting freight from the North
and West, thanks to the fierce rivalries of com
peting lines.
So far as they could be obtained I. took a of
Western Produce have been fully equal to the
demand. No smoked meats can be obtained in
Western centers, and private letters and oiren
lars Bay that none will be ready for market be
fore the 15th instant. Slaughtering is going
on very actively all over the West. Attention
is called to the ruling rates of Hogs on foot, as
the item has a direct bearing upon the future
price of Bacon. At this time last year they
were bringing about $4, now $7 25. Meats
must therefore be proportionately higher dur
ing the coming season—certainly unpallatable
news for those of us who have it to buy. Un
less there is a fall in the price of hogs there
will be none of consequence in that of meat.
The receipts of Dry Salts have been liberal
and the enpply at present enough for the trade.
Clear Bibbed Sides advanced to 12 cents on
Saturday, bat weakened the first part of the
week and closed to-day weak at Ilf. the i taken
freely for round cash lots. Sugar Cured Hams
are neglected—New York Pig in good demand,
with no plain Hams in town.
The General Grocery market, stimulated by
the approach of the Christmas holidays, is
fairly active. The dealers appear to have ample
stocks, and to be highly satisfied with the
volume of business doing. We have no ma
terial changes to report in leading articles
Fresh Meats, especially Tennessee Turkeys
and .Chickens, Gease aud Duckß. alive and
dressed, are very lively. Instructions have
been sent back to slow up on shipments until
he stock somewhat diminishes or the weather
tame cold. Butter and Eggs are scarce aud
not near eqnal to the demand. All the candled
Eggs offered are readily taken at the quota
tions.
Beef Cattle, Live Hogs and Sheep are scarce
and ready sale, at the outside rates. Batchers
are experiencing some difficulty in obtainiug
supplies of such quality as they wish.
Stocks, Bonds and Money.
There is a marked improvement in the Stock
and Bond market. Capital is moderately seek
ing investment in City of Augusta, Georgia
Railroad and State securities. There ie still a
want of confidence in other railways—perhaps
will he nntil they can show a better business,
or throw off some of the enonpons incum
brances under which some of them are work
ing.
The statement that the pity of Rome had
elected a municipal ticket favorable to the pay
ment of her Bonds was quite au error, as the
very reverse is true. Over one-quarter of a
million of these securities are held in Augusta.
There have been 9,318 bales of Cotton sold
during the week, aggregating .$605,670. Money
is easy both in Bank and afloat. Our people
should take care not to allow it to slip from
them too speedi’y, and tp remember that we
have only funds paid us anoe a yc%r —that the
amounts now iu hand and which wili come in
the rext few weeks will be all we will get for
one year, and that it must be made to last ac
cordingly.

The Augusta Cotton Market and
Situation.
Reports from tho country are uniform in
stating that little Cotton remains in the field to
be picked out, and that a good deal over half
of the crop of 1874 has already been sent for
ward to market. The great body of that re
ceived has classed Low Middling and Middling,
but in the receipts this week a marked de
preciation in quality is noticed. It is the
settled conviction here that both local and
national receipts will from henceforth rapidly
fall off. The rapid marketing of the crop is
wholly attributable to the fine weather, and
the extraordinary number of gin houses which
have been burned by incendiaries.
The course of the market under review has
been regular. It opened last Saturday at ISf
and closed to-night at 13f@13}.
By the table below it will be seen that Au
gusta has received since September 1, 94,658
bales, and that the stock on hand this evening
is 20,501.
We estimate the gross amount of money paid
out in Augusta for Cotton since the beginning
of the season at $4,813,575. It would seem
that thus is enough currency to make the com
mercial community radiating around Augusta
perfectly easy.
The following taken from our daily reports
vnll show the courso of the market from day to
day;

went off a fraction, closing quiet with a good

A CARO TO THE PUBLIC.
- . V
A Postponement of the
Fifth Gift Concert.
#
As manager of the gift concerts given in
aid of the Public Library of Kentucky my
position create, an important trust in behalt of
the Public Library and the ticket holders of
the fifth gift concert. The Publio Library of
Kentucky and the tioket-holders are jointly
interested in the agaount of the drawing. The
larger the fund to he*distributed in gifts the
greater will be the gift awarded to each lucky
ticket-holder and the more the amount realized
by the Library. To have a full drawing is so
manifestly to the interest of those interested
that, rather than have a fractional drawing on
the 30th instant, I deem it due to the trust oon
fided tome by the ticket-holders and Publio
Library of Kentucky, that a short postpone
ment be made to enable me to dispose of the
unsold tickets and have a full drawing. Though
the very large amount now in bank would en
able us to distribute handsome gifts, yet we
should feel disappointed in this our last concert
should we be compelled to make a fractional
drawing, however large.
We have received so very large a number of
letters from all parts of the country from those
most largely interested, urging a postponement
if all the tiokets be not Bold by the 30th, that
we feel strengthened in our sense of du yto
the tipket-Ualdei's and the Publio Library to
make the postponement. Under the circum
stances, we have determined, in the interest of
all parties, to postpone the concert and draw
ing to Saturday, February 27, 1875, at which
time the drawing will positively take place, and,
as a guarantee of goqd faith toward ticket
holders, we pledge ourselves to refund to any
ticket-holder his money, upon presentation of
his tioket, should the drawing fail to oome off
at the day now fixed. The past, we feel assured,
will be sufficient guarantee to ail interested
that they will be fairly and honestly dealt with.
The money paid for tiokets is sacredly pre
served against all contingencies until after the
payment of the gifts, after which the expenses
are to bo reimbursed and the Publio Library is
to be paid its profits.
