MINOK TOPICS.
If you call on a ladv friend at this season,
and *he suddenly leaps from her chair, clasps
h<y hands together, darts about like a ben
after a grasshopper, and shrieks ‘ kill the
wretch.” do not be alarmed; she is only seek
ing to destroy the festive moth who has ven
tured out for an airing.
“ Feel sick ? Been moving ?" said a gentle
man upon encountering a friend who seemed
to lie laboring under considerable depression
of spirits. “ No; nothing of that sort.” he
replied. *• Only my wife’s been taking medi
cine. going on four months, now. and the drug
clerk hasn't made a fatal mistake yet."
Some months ago I>r. Cole, of Van Wert, 0.,
was pot off a train between Penyeburgh arid ,
Toledo, on the Payton and Michigan Koad, be
cause he refused lo pay more than the legal
fare, three cents per mile. He brought suit
against the company for $5,000 damages,
which resuited in his favor last week, the jury
awarding him $3,5u0.
A young lady in Milwaukee undertook to
ckrab a I dder that had been left standing
against the side of a house, but before she
had gone a quarter of the way up quite a crowd
assembled, perceiving which she began at once
to descend, observing with much feel.ug:
“ Well, now. there ain’t going to he no free
circus nere this a> temoon. you bet.”
Bliould the worst apprehensions be realized
in regard to the fruit crop in the northern sec
tions of the country, ihe prospects still further
south are sai l to b." re markably good. The
New Orleans Picayune says it is estimated that
the fruit yield this Summer will be quadruple
that of last year, and the largest ever known
at the Houth. and that in this abundance Lou
isiana is to offer the best fruit crop she b&e
ever produced.
A cooling to the Charlotte (North Carolina)
OatcUe, some very queer justice is dispensed
in historic Mecklenburg. A negro was recent y
accused of stealing a hog, on which charge he
was arrested an 1 brought before a magistrate.
The charge was substantiated, and bis honor
very promptly bound the culprit over in the
sum of fifiy dollars to keep the peace for
twelve months ! To keep the peace with the
hogs. Ids honor probably meant.
On the walls of a kitchen in Pompeii was re
cently ftund the following inscription: “ Light
ed the fire, cooked his -meals, a <1 swept his
house 25, <100 times to this day, and he refuses
to take me to the circus!” lbs inhuman
wretch,' to tieat his poor drudge of a wife in
that way ! if old John ltobinson -for we pre
sume the circus was his—had known what was
going on. there would have bean one row in
Pompeii, if no more.
'ihe biggest thing for a long time in the way
of a conscience contribution was received at
the United Males Treasury, at Washington,
Saturday, it came from a penitent Btliim irean
and amounted to $3.4)0. The sender wrote
that it was due for the internal tax on manu
factured goods. It is snppo-e 1 at the Treas
ury that the conscience of this party was
stirred up by the raid on whisky m ikers.
The New York correspondent of the Phila
delphia Ij'ljt r writes, under the date of the
lltli instant: ‘ The situation in Europe just
now is eageily watched by the foreign bankers
and merchants. The morning dispatches from
Berlir, Paris and Loudon are construed to
mean that a strong pressure his been brought
to bear upon the Herman Government by Kus
sia au i England against a renewal of the war
with Franco, and that the pressure has been
successful,”
A woman entered a crowded sireet car tiro
other day. and for a moment or two no one
ufferod her a seat. Then a fat man. affected
with the asthma, beckoned to iter and said:
“ Madam, please take—lake”—(cough, cough),
fhe stood there waiting for his seat, and a
soon as he was over his coughing lit, he con
cluded : “ Madam, please take care and not
step on my sore foot ! ” The look elio gave
him was appalling, hut all the rest saw the
joke.
The New York Herald of Sunday contains a
London th-patch conv, ynrg the frame work of
a sensation to tho effect that lliruum. the
showman, is running Moody and Sankcy in the
revival business, at his own expense. for the
purpose of founding anew religion as a coun
ter attraction to Itomanism. and making money
at the same time. The idea of Dirntuu found
ing a now religion is absurd enough; but theu
the llerabl is rich andean afford to pay money
for such nonsensical cable dispatches.
The council of the Indian tribes at Ocmul
gee I TANARUS., voted down the proposition to es
tablish a Territorial government, on Friday, by
a vote of 36 yeas, 41 nays, The Cherokees
said that their present governsent “ was good
enough for them," and intimated that the re
ports of outrages in their country had a politi
cal object, namely, the establishment of the
Territorial government, which may possibly be
the fact. When the council meets, in Septem
ber, the Territorial question will come up again
for consideration.
The Mayor of Key West offerß a reward of
one thou-aud dollars to anybody who will
furnish him with tho name of the Courier-
Journal's Washington correspondent who
telegraphed a paragraph to the effect that
there were two cases of yellow fever at Key
West. If he is proceeding in this way with
the correspondents who sent abroad that item,
the Key West corporation will have to mort
gage tho freehold of the town to pay the ag
gregate rewards. The oiler is a liberal one.
The Postmaster-General has issued an order
forbidding Ihe postmaster at Cincinnati to pay
L. D Sine, alleged to be conducting a gift en
terprise, any p edal money-order, and instruct
ing the postmaster to return to the remitters,
upon proper application, tho amount of such
orders. The postmaster is also instructed to
roturu all r- gistered letters directed to L. D.
Siue to the offices where they were originally
mailed, with the won! “fraudulent” plainly
written or stamped upon the outside.
President Grant announces that he cannot
attend ths Bunker Hill celebration on tho 17th
pros. Naughty correspondents insinuate that
he is deterred l>y the dread of being obliged to
pay his railroad fare, as oil the occasion of his
last visit to Massachusetts. This is incorrect,
however, as the Government steamer Talla
poosa lies at the Washington Navy Yard, and
might be utilized. That vessel is assigned the
duty of carryiug the President and family to
Loug Branch next month.
One of those “prominent Southern lie publi
cans ” has been writing to the Chicago Tribune
that tho Southern people are preparing for
another war, and tint the negroes will help
them establish another Confederacy, lie con
cludes by remarking that “ the ouly moans to
prevent this is tho maintenance of the Repub
lican party South ” The absurdity of this
scheme is so apparent that the Tribune itself
says: “We publish th-.se views merely as
curiosities,* add disavow any sympathy or re
spect for them."
Bonuu stocks still hold their own. Consoli
dated Vtrgiuia a few days ago declared a divid
end amounting in the aggregate to $1,080,000.
Anew .stock Exchange has been organized at
San Francisco, called "The l'acitic.'* Forty
seats have already been taken, and $5,001) for
each paid in. The membership i* limited to
eighty, and it is thought the entire number
will be filled by the Ist of June. The rate of
commission fixed by the constitution is one
half of one per cent, on purchases and sales,
though no member will be prevented from
making special agreements at lower rates. So
sales of stocks will be allowed, however, of a
par value less than SSOO.
A decision that deserves general notice has
jnst beeu rendered by the bupreme Court of
Louisiana. It has affi med a judgment of
$35,000 damages against a druggist whoso
clerk made a mistake causing the loss of
human life. The victim was Mrs. Ellen L.
McGubbin, wife of xVilliam McCubbin. of Sew
Orleans. The physician prescribed for her
Acq mo OompAon*. 40a.. but the clerk put up
that quantity of tincture of camphor, which
she to k. and it killed her in a few hours. Her
husband sued the druggist for damages, aud
the suit after long licigation, has euded as
above stated.
It is relaled that the Postma ter of Monti
cello, Ga.. recently performed the fea! of read
ing a letter without hearing its contents. An
old woman who had never beeu to school got a
letter vue day aud asked the postmaster to
read it for her. She did uot waut him to hear
it, so she took a wad of cotton out of her
pocket and stuffed his ears with it, She then
had him to read the letter in a low voice, and
was perfectly satisfied that the reader could
not hear a word of it. This is reported as a
late actual occurrence ; but it one of those
things that used to happen tin newspapers!
when the oldest of us were boys.
Hon. Montgomery Blair, of Maryland, comes
out as usual quite early with his nomination
for Democratic candidate in the next Presi
dential race. His favorite is Jno. \V. Garrett,
President of the Baltimore and Ohio ltxiiroad.
whom he regards as the most prominent and
efficient exponent of tbe anti-monopoly idea.—
Mr. Garrett has certainly accomplished a great
deal, not only in breaking np the Saratoga
Syndicate, bnt also in demonstrating that a
trunk hue can be conducted profitably without
resort to an extortionate tariff. Mr. Blair
argu e that while Gov. Tilden represents the
antagonism to corruption. Mr. Garrett repre
sents antagonism to those monopolies which
are the very well-spnugs of corruption.
The Troy Times, too. pretending that all the j
hate comes from the South, puts in its malig- j
nant thrust at the dying form of John G. j
Breckinridge. So does the Hartford Post ;
whilst Senator Morton's organ at Indianapolis I
fairly exudes with iudeceut venom. When Lee !
died, the conduct of the Government and the |
temper of the Itadical press were mean in the
last degree, and therefore we need expect
nothing but a similar outburst of paltry rage
when the breath leaves the body of Brecken
ridge. We have reason to thank God that this
is uot the spirit which animates the geuerous
nia.-s-s of the North. It is the expiring venom
of the party of hate aud vengeance wreakii g
its piisillau rnous passion upon the defenseless
fnfi the weak.

Thomas D. Sample vs. the City Bank
of Augusta, Joseph C. Fargo, Charles
B ikr-r, et al. Decree for complainant
with reference to master. The Court be

nnder order of Court in March, 1870, for
and towards the payment to the com
plainant to the amount of bills in said
bank held by him, to-wit: the sum of
$5,446, and that they should be called
upon to pay pro rata according to the
amount of such dividends received by
each. It is ordered, adjudged and de
creed that the said complainant is en
titled to recover from the said defend

calculate the amount due from each of
said defendants, to the end that a decree
may be made against them accordingly.
THE CANAL.
A Pleasant Trip to the Locks.
The members of the Angnsta Ex
change, together with several invited
guests, took a trip to the Locks, at the
head of the canal, yesterday. There
were between thirty and forty persons
iu the party. Twelve or fourteen of the
number left the canal basin, at Clark’s
Mill, in a boat, at half-past four o’clock,
a. in., and took breakfast at the Locks,
i’he remainder left at half-past nine, and
arrived at the Locks an honr and a half
Later. The voyage was a pleasant one
in every particular. The tow path of
the original canal has been removed for
nearly the entire length of the canal,
only a small portion above Bed’s creek
remaining. This will be removed also
in a short time. The stream is uninter
rupted in its flow, and presents a pic
turesque appearance. When one re
members the narrow canal of old, the
change to the broad, sweepiug current of
the present seems almost the work of a
magician’s wand. But no mere wave of
mi enchanter’s hand accomplished this
work. Years of hard labor and applica
tion of science have been spent in re
moving obstructions, building ol banks,
and bringing the cauat to its present
shape. A little over a year from this
day, perhaps, will see the full comple
te b of all the improvements originally
oojlcmpliited, and the citizens of Au
gusta in the possession of a water power
second to none in the United States.
But to return to the voyagevrs. On
reaching the Locks the party disem
barked, repaired to tho platform over
looking the hills of Carolina. Here the
morning was spent until half-past two
o’clock, when the summons to dinner
was sounded. A long table was set the
full length of the shed over the old
bulkhead, and literally crowded with
barbecued meats and concomitants.—
Everything was splendidly cooked.—
After dinner the party returned to the
platform, where they remained until the
approaching shades of evening warned
them that it was time to turn their
faces homeward.
The new bulkhead and locks consti
tute one of the finest prices of masonry
und works of engineering art in this
section. The rock is laid in liydrauiie
cement and presents a solid und uni
form appeurauce. The new lock is 100
feet long and fifteen wide, a suffi
cient breadth to admit of the passage of
tho widest boats useft on the canal with
out any displacement of their freight
Boats "loaded with cotton are compelled
to rearrange the bales before passing
through the old lock. The gates
are kuowu ns mitre gates, the same pat
tern as those used on the Erie Canal, iu
New York. The work on the dam,
which will extend iuto tire river from
the bulkhead, has already been com
menced. It will run in a diagonal di
rection up the river, to a small island
known as Island No. 1, for a distance of
one thousand feet, thence along the is
land seven hundred aud sixty feet, and
then across a narrow channel, four hun
dred and forty feet, to a second island,
where it will end.
The bulkhead contractors, Messrs.
John A. Greene k Cos , placed at their
own expense a handsome tablet, with
the following inscription on the top of
the bulkhead :
“ Canal enlarged 1874. Clias. Estes,
Mayor. John U. Meyer, Alexander
Philip, Thos. G. Barrett, T. W. Curwile,
Canal Committee. Byron Holley, En
gineer; Byron Holley, Jr., Assistant En
gineer; John A. Greene, John Satterlee,
John T. Hosch, Contractors; Hugh H.
Penny, Superintendent.”
Encouraging. —Mr. James A. Gray
returned from the North Wednesday
night, where he has been ,on a visit for
the purpose of obtaining subscriptions
to the stock of the factory inaugurated
by him, aud also to inspect machinery
at different places. He gives an en
couraging renort of Ins visit. Nearly
thirty thousand dollars were subscribed
in New York city. At Lowell, Mr. Gray
found machinery to be at least thirty
five per cent, cheaper than it was three
or four years ago. It wus the same case
in Boston. Mr. Gray has already re
ceived, altogether, about one hundred and
twenty thousand dollars in subscriptions
to the stock. As the full capital stock
is one hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars, not more than thirty thousand dol
lars are now needed to make tip the en
tire subscription. With the great ad
vantages in establishing such a factory
as Mr. Gray proposes aud the certainty
of remunerative profits to the stock
holders, there should be no difficulty in
raising this amount in our own city. It
must be remembered that tile bui diugs
for the factory are already up, and that
there will, therefore, be no expense in
that direction. Mr Gray is a prudent
as well as an energetic and successful
merchant, and the very fact of his con
nection with the enterprise is sufficient
guarantee of its success. With him as
its leading spirit the factry is houud to
be a paying institution.
Exeunsi 'N to Savannah. —The excur
sion to Savannah next Saturday night
will give many an opportunity to see the
Forest City who otherwise would not
have the chance to do so. Savannah is
in all its glory at this season, and a walk
over it and view of its many attractions
will amply compensate any one for a
visit even if he paid a much larger sum
than it will now cost him. Kemember,
that the entire fare to go and return is
only two dollars, a mere bagatelle com
p.ired to the regular oharge, and within
the reach of almost every one. The new
Catholic Cathedral in Savannah is nearly
completed. It is one of the largest
church edifices in the South, being one
hundred feet long, sixty feet wide and
one hundred feet high. The excursion
will be for the benefit of the new school
in St. Patrick’s Catholic parish, and will
be under the special charge of Rev.
Father Preudergast. The excursion
train will leave the Union Depot next
Saturday evening, at 9 o’clock, aud re
turning leave Savauuah at 9 o’clock
Sunday eveniug. Tickets can be ob
taiued'from the gentlemen already des
ignated.
General Mcßae. —The following anec
dote of General Mcßae is told : Soon
after the General took charge of the
Western and Atlantic Railroad an em
ployee of the road entered the Superin
tendent's office and received, as he
thought, some slight from Gen. Mcßae.
The employee departed in high dudgeon
and meeting some of his comrades,’ re
lieved his feelings by stating his opinion
of his superior in very forcible lan
guage. Some days afterwards he was
told that these expressions had been re
ported to General Mcßae. Expecting
instant discharge the man hastened to
the Superintendent aud said, ‘‘General,
I understand that it has been reported
to you that I have been cursing yon. I
desire to apologise.” Turning to the
apologist the General asked, "Have you
performed vour work to the satisfaction
of Mr.—-?” (the employer’s imme
diate boss). “Yes, sir." "Well, then, if
yon do your work all right and fiud
spare time to curse me, you are at per
feet liberty to ilo it.” Aud thus the
matter ended.
Startling Rumor. —A rumor was
afloat yesterday to the effect that _oue
young man was shot and thrown into
the river by another, Friday night.
trouble grew out of a difficulty about a
woman, it was said. The rumor proved
to be incorrect however. An old negro
woman living in the lower part of the
city saw two men going towards the
river bank, soon after heaid three shots
fired in that direction, and afterwards
saw one of the men returning alone.
This was probably the cause of the ru
mor mentioned above.
A Talented Yocno Lawter. — We
learn from the Savannah JS€W9 that M.
P. Carroll, Esq., was in attendance
dnriug the fore part of this week at the
United States Circuit Court in Savannah.
Mr. Carroll is a gentleL an of scholarly
attainments and his friends will be glad
to learn that his legal acquirements are
being appreciated and rewarded by a
growing practice, which he richly merits.
Pleasant-faced people are generally
the most weicon e, bnt the auctioneer is
always pleased to see a man whose coun
tenance is for bidding.
EMORY COLLEGE.
A Letter from Bishop Pierce.
Editors Chronicle and Sentinel :
I have been aciiug (as other duties
allowed) as an agent for Emory College,
seeking to rebuild aud refurnish aftei
the desolations of the war. Much of
the work has been done, but much re
mains. I am anxious to finish. Full)
aware of the scarcity of money and tbe
depressed condition of the people, I
hoped to accomplish my object by a
plan so easy as to enable every friend of
denominational education in the chnrch
and out of it to help without any sensi
ble taxation. Hence, in the Southern
Christian Advocate, I proposed to be
one of twenty thousand persons to give
one dollar each to the College. Some
have responded, bnt the Advocate does
not reach the people enough to fill the
plan. I, therefore, beg the use of your
columns to give the proposition a wider
circulation.
Let all who are disposed to accept for
ward the money to me at Sparta, or band
it to the pastors of the Methodist
chnrch, who will receive and remit it to
me. This proposition is made, first of
all, to every member of the Methodist
church in Georgia anil Florida, aud with
equal emphasis to every friend of Chris
tian education.
I am trying to do this work as one of
the wsys to serve my generation. I have
no other interest in it than is common
to my brother Methodists and to my
fellow-citizens. My services are gratui
tously rendered, and I fpel the more free
to ask any and all for aid. Every dollar
goes to the college. I am bold', there
fore, to say help me. I ask you for a
dollar, but if you are more liberally in
clined I most cheerfully aequiesee. I
will thank you for the dollar, but will
bless and praise you for the thousand.
Men, brethren, friends, let me hear
from yon soou and favorably, aud thus
oblige your friend and servant, •
Geoboe F. Pierce.
THE PHEBBYTEBIANB.
The Southern General Assembly—lts
Meeting in , L oris—Northern and
Southern Churches—Negotiations for
Union—They Come to Naught.
St. Lotus, May 21.— The General As
sembly of the Presbyterian Church
met again this morning, Moderator
Hoge in the Chair. The usual standiug
committees were appointed and the
Committee of Snstenance made a report.
Rev. Wm. Brown, D. D , Chairman of
Committee on Friendly Relations Be
tween the Northern and Southern
Churches, made a lengthl) report, which
was laid over for further consideration.
The gist of the report seems to lie in
the following passage : “ Iu a commu
nication from Rev. Wm. Brown, Chair
man of the Southern committee, to
ltev. Dr. Niccols, Chairman of the
j Northern committee, he says : ‘lf yonr
Assembly could see its way clear to say
a few plain words to this effect that
these obnoxious things were said
Sind done in times of great ex
citement ; that they are to be
| regretted; aud that now in a calm view
the imputations cast upon the SoutLern
Church are disapproved that would end
the difficulty at once.’ Iu reply to this
Dr, Niccols says: ‘We cannot make this
recommendation to our Assembly, for
the reason that we are still of the de
cided conviction that its action for the
last four years, so fully cited to you in
our communications, constitutes suffi
cient grounds for fraternal correspond
ence.’ Dr. Niccols then reiterates that
all the acts and deliverances of the
Northern Assemblies, of which you com
plain, are wholly null and void, and of
no binding efficacy, as judgments of the
chnrch we represent, or as rules of
preceding for its Presbyteries and
church; that in so far as they or any of
them can be supposed to impart any in
jurious imputations upon the present
character and standing of the churches
and members of the Bonthern Assembly
as Cliristians or Presbyterians such an
application of them would be unjust
to you, and would be disapproved and
regretted by us ; that the acts and
deliverances of the Northern Assemblies
of which you complain, were made in
peculiar times and under strange and ex
citing circumstances when the passious
a-id feelings of men were profoundly
moved; that as to the acts of the Assem
blies which we do not represent we can
not sit iu judgment upon them nor ex
press any opinion as to their character;
that we feel competent to express the
desire that they be considered by you
in the same spirit of charity and Chris
tian forgiveness which we trust those
people whom we represent will exercise
towards anything to whioh they may ob
ject in the proceedings of the Southern
Assembly.’ To this Rev. Mr. Brown re
plied: ‘The grievances of which we
complain and which we desire to see re
moved lie entirely back of the present
and an adjustment whioh entirely ig
nores the past is unsatisfactory.’ This
virtually closed the controversy.
THE SOUTH’S DARLING.
Dealh of John C. Breckenridsre—The
Closing Honrs A Gallant Spirit
Which Knew Not Feai —A llnraavk
able Death Bed —Intrepidity Horn of
Virtue.
Lexington, Ky., May 17.—Geu. John
C. Breckeurulge died at 5:45 this even
ing. About 3 o’clock this afternoon a
change in his condition took place, and
he sank rapidiv until his death. He re
tained consciousness up to the supreme
moment, but his power of speech was
lost about, a half hour before his death.
Every one was elated during the da r
with the r port that he was much better,
and the blow falls with a more crushing
power by reason of that fact. The en
tire city mourns, in common with the
whole South, the death of the greatest
of her sous. Gen. Breckenridge died
calmly as a babe siuking to rest on its
mother’s knee. There was no struggle,
no pain, but gently the grand spirit
passed away forever from our sight.—
The grandeur of his life was only
equalled by the majesty with which he
moved so calmly but so surely down to
the banks of the dark river which he
crossed this sad afternoon. He never
forgot for a moment that he was a
soldier, and bravely as he rode down to
battle, he never faced death so coolly in
the dread past as has laid patiently and
unmurmuriugly in the quiet of hischam
ber a fid met it so recently. He knew
that it came on apace. He knew that
for him there were but a few days re
maining, aud yet he never blanched. He
never forgo!: that he wfcs a Breckenridge
and a soldier, and that princely spirit
which made him the observed of all men
clung still closely to him in the awful
presence of death.
This morning Dr. Seyre took leave of
him, after having reopened the wound
made by the surgeons a few days since,
aud succeeding in removing through the
orifice quite a quantity of the same mat
ter, the expectoration of which had
caused the General so much pain. The
operation performed is that which is
technically known to the profession as
paracentesis of the abdomen, the object
of which was to relieve the liver of the
presence of a tumor supposed to
have formed there. Last week Drs.
Gross and Sayre attempted to perfom
the operation,'but without encouraging
success, as Gen. Breckenridge sank visi-
t)ly under it, and they were obliged to
desist. It was given out then that tbe
supposed tumor really existed, but so
deeply seated that it could not be relieved.
From the faintness resulting from this
fearful operation sprang the report of
the General’s death, which was made
last week. He rallied from the effects
of the operation, aud some of his more
sanguine friends, hoping against hope,
felt that he might possibly recover. To
day, so much had he ralli and, that the
operation was resumed, as stated, aud
an instrument known as the cauula was
inserted, aud quite a quantity of fluid
removed by its aid. The sensation of
nain or fnllness in the abdomen grew
less, and strength seemed to return to
the patient. He easily turned himself
in his bed, sat np in it, and during the
forenoon drank two glasses of cream,
and seemed much revived, so much so
in fact, as to deceive Dr. Sayre, who re
ported his condition as being
very favorable, and it was
rapidly circulated all over the city
that Dr. Sayre had said there were
strong hopes for his ultimate recovery.
Every one heard the glad news and hur
ried to tell his neighbor, and a sensation
of pleasure pervaded the citv such as it
has not known for weeks. But it was a
false hope, as the sad sequel of this af
ternoon has shown, and only increased
the poignancy of that grief which is
now soeaking so eloquently in the face
of every one here. Among all classes
the great dead statesman was known and
loved, and the sad news of his death
flew over the city in a few moments,
only to carry a keen pang to the heart
of every hearer. The glad tidings of
the morning had illy prepared the city
for the dread event of the afternoon,
and Lexington to-night mourns as it has
not since the day when that otherstates
man of Kentucky, the great sage of
Ashland, went ont from among them
forever. Men have harried through the
streets speaking in hushed accents the
dread words which told of the fearful
loss the whole State has experienced in
his death; and one could tell by gazing
into their faces, eveu though no word
was spoken, that some calamity bad
fallen upon this city. When the mo
ment of death came to General Breck
enr’dge, besides his wife, two daughters
and son, and other relatives, there were
nonesiveDr. and Mrs. Deshea. Col.
Wm. G. P. Breckenridge, who stood by
j as the great spirit went out, says be died
i as he had lived, a brave, simple, quiet
man. No last words were spoken. He
raised his eyes to the face of each one
in mute recognition. Gave a sign that
they should stand aside that he might
have air, gasped for breath and died.
General Breckeuridge was fifty-four
years of age last January, and he re
tains in death the majestic appearance
which characterized him while living,
showing of course some of the emaciat
ing effects of his illness, but not strong
ly the awfnl mark of death. Hundreds
of friends have crowded to the door to
offer a kindly word of consolation to the
so sadly bereaved family,and to gaze up
on the face of the dead, the best beloved
of all the sons of Kentncky. For obvi
ous reasons the funeral has been fixed
for so early a day, but it will prevent
many from coming who would else be
numbered among the citizens of Lexing
ton and vicinity who will lay his remains
away in the beautiful cemetery at this
place. Of course the wish for a modest
funeral can not be understood as refer
ring to numbers, and of all the thous
ands in Kentucky who mourn with the
family it is to be hoped that many will
come and aid iu bearing to the grave the
loved remains of the statesman, soldier,
and simple hearted gentleman who,
brave, generous and manly, always
through life, almost conquered death
by the same attributes when its icy
hand fell on him. Lexington is iii
mourning, and a whole nation is re-1

TALIAFERRO COUNTY.
Sad Accident at Crawfordville.
[Special Correspondence Chronicle ami Sentinel .]
Cbawfordville, Ga., May 22, 1875.
Oar lit le town was painfully shocked
yesterday evening by an accident that
happened to a young man living in this
county, Mr. Eddie Reid, which resulted
in his death iu a few hours. He was
crossing the railroad in his buggy, when
the horse took fright and soou became
unmanagable. After rnuning about a
hundred yards the horse made a sudden
turn around a corner, throwing him out
of the buggy, aud the injuries resulting
from, the fall soon caused his death. He
was highly esteemed in ibis community,
and his sudden and untimely death is a
subject of general regret.
The Planting Prospect.
Farmers generally have good stands of
corn and cotton, but are grumhliug now
on account of dry weather. Wheat, aud
Fall oats are promising; Spring oats suf
fering for rain. The breadth of laud in
cotton is about the same as last year,
with a considerable increase in corn and
small grain. Our county has used about
twice as much fertilizers as last year,
aud farmers, lavish iu their expendi
tures for guano, are economising in
everything else. Store debts are very
much less than in former years, and the
people seem to be praeticii.g retrench
ment iu earnest. There is plainly mani
fest a disposition to “do or die,” and ail
reports agree that the freedmen are do
ing their part of the work with prompt
ness and energy. These are hopeful
signs, and indicate that we may yethave
a cheering future in store. C. E. S.

Augusta, Ga.. Friday Afternoon, i
May 21, 1875. [
General Remarts.
Amid the outside -tir and excitement of the
pas' two weeks, business has been quiet with
au utter absence of anything like speculative
demand. The wheels of commerce by no
means came to a halt, however, but rnovi and
evenly and steadily forward. Trade, in fact,
displays rather more enorgy than is usual at
this Season. 'lhe merchants of Augusta while
not overcrowded with business have a regular
legitimate emand for their wares, and espe
cially for the staple c unmodities. Provisions
are generally quoted firm with a fair demand,
aud. as a rule, slender at cks. The sun ly of
Bacou. Corn aud Oats is small aud hardly more
than sufficient to meet the regular trade. Our
business men are not anxious to replenish de
pleted stocks just at this time, but prefer to
wait until the openiug of the Autumn, when
old Kiug Cotton wiii again grasp his sceptre
aud resume his sway, 'i he sending forward of
the new crop always increases the Currency cir
culation and an increase of money, as a "mat
ter of course, gives an impetus to all branches
of business. In the meantime we must be
content to take things as they come.
Financial.
The money market is growing tighter day by
day. A few weeks ago we repor ed the readv
cash largely in excess of the demand, and to be
obtained in almost any am unt. on comp ra
tiveiy easy terms. Now all this is changed.
The ''emand has largely increased, and the
rates have risen correspondingly. The short
est loans could not be obtained under twelve
per cent., and sixty and uinetv days’ papercom
mands a still hi .her rate of interest. Oue of
our ban s that has been doing a very large
business during the past six months reports that
it has now ve v little morey to loan out. and is
al-ogether i na.be to supply the demand. It
would not have discounted the best gilt edged
paper for a thousand dollars yesterday oer
chants who expected to get along without
loans tmtil the Fall season, have found that
they were unable to do so: hence t‘>e largely
increased demand. Another bank officer states
that he is lending small amounts on good paper
at short dates. Long date paper i unmarket
able. It is thought that the financial siination
will continue to get tig ter as the Summer ad
vances, and that the pres-lire will only he re
lieved by the advent of the great Btaple.

[Bulletin Itecie’c of the Week ]
The fluctuations have not been quiteso sharp
or exren-ive as last week Ther has been a
more liherii movemen of actual cotton and at
one time appearances were very encouraging,
while up to the present writing a i umber of
operators a-8’ me to feel much confidence
There has not. however, been a well established
mprovement on values: the apparent indica
tions of the opening of a good healthy demand
fail to become fully verified. The supplies
available are ample, with r ceipts rather be
yond expectations, and a continued undertone
of doubt aud caution is still very perceptible.
I deed, while influences of a stimulating h.,r
acter are not without their effect, the market
responds much more readily to anything of a
depressing nature, and the "bull” interest is
compelled from necessity to keep close and
constant watch, in order to introduce neutral
izing features. There is no gainsaying the
act that for the a t four or five weeks the
poeition has appear- and to be very nearly in such
shape as to prove attractive to exporters, and
indeed the two or three drafts made upon the
stock by this class of operators were good sup
porting evidence. The fitful nature of the de
mand-. however, and its subsidence with even
gr, ater rapidity than its development, have
proven very discouraging, the more so that re
ceipt- were keeping well up. and preventing
any great falling away of the accumulation In
si.ort.the market still requires the support of a
s eadv healthv movement of the supplies now
available, and until this really commences there
appears no chance of infusing confidence
among the mass of operators.
The sales of ••spots” daring several days of
the past we k were comparatively free, and to
huvers on both Eng i-h and Continental ac
count. with just a tr.fltng i no'ease tor domes
tic consumption Suddenly, however, the de
uand subsided, an l business dr pped back into
the old dull and stupid rut- Higher fre ght
barge-and an adverse market !or exchange
w is given as a partial reason for the falling off
of the call on foreign account but the private
advices from abroad rattier indicated the ne
cessity of caution, and the advanced rates ask
ed here in some cases wiped ont the very limit
edmaigin on which exporters were opening
Ou the wuole, however, we do not think the
disposition of holders has been quite so much
toward running away fcim bids as heretofore,
and though uottung t the way • f pressure to
realize could be noted, or any particularly free
off ring, buyers have experie ced no difficul
ty in obtaining all the cotton wanted ihe
official q oiattons of the Exchange, too. have
remained unaltered, though at times lhese
were a trifle low. as compared with the general
asking rates on stiict grading.
For future delivery the market has been
more or lens U' settled, but without quite so
many sharp or wide flu dilation* as last we k.
or toe development of any very stirring fea
tures. As before, attention has been given
principally to the months embracing the bal
ance of the present cotton year, with the in
’ereßt, if anything, somewhat reduced, as on
the two or three upward turns which have
taken place a great many "shorts” covered
and did not again venture in. The base of
operations on the period referred to is the
stock on hand, with such additions as mav yet
come in. and certain manipulations have again
seemed to indicate a desire to keep bona fide
consumptive buyers - either domestic or for
eign— from getting possession: but the aggro
gate commences to be too great to be easily
controlled, and the influ nee was depressing.
An increased interest has been shown in the
months covering the new crop, and business
proved fair with contracts extended into April,
sales fo-winch were m de at 16 17 32®16fc
A portion of the demand was said to come from
the South, though a few os eratoys here, who
have for some time considered the Fall and
Winter months as relatively low, were among
tl e purchasers. The desire to Invest, how
ever. is not very extensive or g <r eral. and as a
rule the advices from the planting sections
cothinue quite encouraging, e peciallv in re
gard to weather over the leading districts; and
again many operators are auxions to see better
indications of the Anal result on the present
crop.

as follows: In 1868. 9t6.()00 000 bushels, valued
at 62 cents per bushel In IHG9. 874.000.0 0
bushels, valued at 75 cents per bushel In
1870. 1.094 000.000 bushels, valued at 54 cents

1873. 912 000.000 bushels, valued at 48 cents
per bushel. In 1874. 854.000,000 bushels,
valued at 65 cents per bushel. The lowest
average price for the whole country in these
seven years was 39 cents in 1872, after a pro
duction in the two years preceding of 2.083.000
bushels: the next lowest was 54 cents in 1870,
when values generally were higher, and after a
; roiiuction in two years of 1,968.000,000. In
1871 and 1873. the average was 48 cents, the
crop being a little below medium in both years.
991.000,00(1 in the former, 932,000.000 in the
later. with a surplus coming over from the
previous year in both cases. Had there been
no deeliue in general values, the price would
have been a few cents higher in 1873. the sup
ply being somewhat leßs Next in order is the
price in 1808, when the crop was 906,000.1:00,
the value 6 i cents. The smallest crops were
874.00 ‘,OOO, 1869; 854,000.000 in 1874, and the
prices were the highest. 75 cents in 1869, and
65 cents in 1874. the difference being mainly
due to the general decline in values during eiv
years, as the previous crop in the latter case
was only 26,000.000 greater than that preceding
the to mer, making tne degree of scarcity in
the two p riods very nearly eqnal.
