pressed himself as being disappointed; j
tiut Mr. Moody is not the man he ex- j
peeled to see, etc But after interview
ing the doctor a little closer we find he j
was considerably pleased w ith the great j
evangelist. He says Mr. Moody made j
his audience cry and laugh, and from j
the first to the close of his discourse he '
held them almost spell bound with bis j
matchless earnestness. What is it bat j
eloquence?
North Georgia Citizen : Snake stories I
are sometimes regarded as doubtful j
varns, and we now have one to relate
"which may be looked upon as a slightly
exaggerated affusion, or a fanciful imag- j
iuatiou of the sensational style; but we j
can vouch for its positive truth. Aj
beautiful young lady of our town has a
large, handsome cat, romantically nam- j
ed “Erastus Bouverie.” One day last '
week she observed “Erastus” ont in the J
yard acting, it seemed, very starugely. j
Upon going near him she discovered !
that he had just killed a large spread- i
ing adder, fully one yard long, and while j
she stood gazing, awe-stricken upon the ,
bloody scene, “Erastus” suddenly j
pounced upon another snake a few yards
off, causing death- almost instantly by
biting and clawing the repUi#’* head.
The young lady, horrified at eight of
fierce a battle aud the appearance of
two enormous snakes, was taming to flee
into the house, when, to her astonish
ment, the undaunted cat began a third
battle and killed the third snake. Three
large, rusty spreading-adders, all within
a few yards of each other, and killed by
onecat! A marvelous proceeding, indeed,
to our thinking. The snakes were out
on a grassy lawn, not a great many yards
distant from the dwelling house. They
fought desperately, bat were vanquish
ed by the cat, and without his receiving 1
a single wound. We should really like
to own this “Erastus Bouverie;” he is
decidedly a valuable specimen of the
feline species.
THE GEORGIA RAILROAD.
REPORTS OF OFFICERS.
PreaMenl’a Repart.
o>n ■ CiTißißt llsTTiimin fr B’o 00., (
By a very brief report of the Superin
tendent, with reports of sub-officers at
tached, yon will see the results of the
road Operations for the last fiscal year;
and by the annexed statement of the
Cashier, you will see the financial condi
tion of the company. Though these
exhibits are not very encouraging, yet,
ander all the circumstance*, they are,
pefhaos, as much so as the stockholders
had any reason to expect. In the re
ported operations of railroads in the
last two or. three years, especially at the
South and West, there is one feature
very common to all: reduced business
by the poverty of the people, or reduced
receipts from a ruinous competition.
The net profits of railroad property are
not uofreqaeutly affected by a combina
tion of both these causes.
The Superintendent appear* to be
hopeful, and when we consider the large
expenditures necessary for the restora
tion of property, in addition to ordinary
expenses, the showing is certainly a
good one; but he fuels it a duty to re
mind you that the expenses of the past
l year were a good deal relieved by extra
outlays for new machinery and rolling
stock provided in the year preceding. It
is also well in this connection to be re
minded that the damage from the late
. disasters from fire and flood, on the
Oconee, will be charged upon the busi
ness of the current year. It is well to
keep these facte in view, that we may
not "be misled by hasty conclusions, and
build hopes on the fature which may
not be realized.
The Board has no wish to speak de
spondiugly, or to discourage the stock
holders with a gloomy prospect in the
future, butitcanuot be ignored, and need
not be denied, that the present and ear
ly future of the railroad interest, aud
especially South and West, is very dis
couraging. This is everywhere seen and
everywhere felt ; and as it is occasioned
by one general cause, and extends to all
industrialinterests, the truth of the senti
ments expressed in a late report of one of
oar neighboring institutions will be gen
erally acknolwedged : “It has been a
year of unusal hardship upon the rail
road interests of the country—ever re
sponding in quick sympathy to unfavor
able conditions of other industries.”
The railroad interest is not an isolated
interest. There is no interest more de
pendent upon the prosperity or depres
sion of other in terests. It can only pros
per in sympathy with other interests,
upon whose prosperity it is mainly de
pendent. There is odo position assum
ed by the Superintendent now very com
mon with other roads, and to which the
Board most heartily responds : Reduc
ed receipts must be met by reduced ex
penses, which can only be secured by close
management and the most rigid econo
my, and a ready and reasonable co-ope
ration by the employees, which, to their
credit, has always been readily yielded
in all similar emergencies.
The heavy expenditures forced upon
the company for many years, for restor
ation of property, damaged or destroyed
by the devastations of war, are near a
final close, audmay hereafter leave net
profits more freely at the disposal of
the company. This has been an expen
sive job, and has been met from income
and the fragments of the old reserved
fand, and without incurring any debt.
We have suffered much from the insol
vency or bad faith of other roads, aud
especially of connecting roads. Danger
of this is inevitably incident to the
modern expedient of uniting separate
roads into long through lines, to cheapen
transportation for the benefit of the
consumers. So long as the different
sections cannot, or will not, produce
their own supplies, the policy is of great
benefit to the consuming classes. But
this favor is not always appreciated, and
it must be <y>nfessed that the policy has
been sometimes carried too far. It is
believed that the principle of discrimi
nation on through freights is correctly
explained in the report of 1873. It is
by no means certain that it would not
,be better for the railroad interest if
every road were confine 1 strictly in its
operations to its own chartered limits.
But unfortunately, by a speculative
mania, and the pernicious and walteful
policy of State aid, other lines may be
organized around us, and we cannot
afford to be thrown off the thorough
fare. Hence the necessity of trusting
many that are not trustworthy, and
strengthening the weaker links in the
liuo, to preserve the integrity of the
whole.
It will b*e recollected that it has been
the policy of the company since the war
to charge all expenditures for and on ac
count of road, and especially expendi
tures for restoration of property, to
profit and loss, so that nothing should
appear as an asset which could not be
separated from the road and outfit, and
made available for payment of debts or
dividends. The profit and loss account,
and the list of assets also, have also
beeu carefully examined, and as near as
may be the assets are placed at their
real value—some perhaps overvalued,
but compensation will bo found in an
undervaluation of others. The appended
statement, therefore, it is believed, pre
sents a tolerably fair estimate of the
true eonditiou of the company and its
resources.
Our showing is better than some oth
ers subjected to similar sacrifices, from
having made no sacrifices in financier
ing. The war left us slender resources,
and we have had frequent occasions to
raise money, but neither in original
loans or renewals have fiver sacrificed
anything in discounts or ratra interest.
So much for the present and past. The
future rests on too many contingencies
for rational speculation. Many view
the business outlook as closely allied to
the political, where “there seems noset
tled purpose, uo definite object of hope,
but an uneasy waiting for a doubtful fu
ture.”
Respectfully submitted, in behalf of
the Board, by John P. King,
President.
.Hiiperinteudent’M Report.
Superintendent’s Office, )
Georgia Railroad and Banking 00., >
Augusta, Ga., April 27th, 1876. )
John P. King. President Georgia Rail
road and Banking Company, Au
gusta, Ga :
Sir— l have the honor to make the
following report of the operations of
your road for the fiscal year closing on
the 81st ul f . The earnings have been:
From Passage *245,119 53
From Freight 920,911 60
From Mail 28,292 94-*!, 194,324 07
The expenses for conducting the busi
ness have boun:
For Conducting
Transportation—*l63,ol4 08
For Motive Power.. 228,714 18
For Maintenance of
Way 197,018 32
For Maintenance of
Cars 52,931 35 641.677 93
Not v *652.646 14
The expenses are 53) per cent, of the
gross earnings. From the foregoing yon
will perceive that the gross earnings of
the road for the fiscal year ending March
31st were $1,194,324 07. After paying
all expenses, the net is $552,546 14. In
the geueral depression of business all
through the land, the above statement
is very gratifying to the officers of the
road, aud should be to the stockholders
of the company.
The future prospects of your road are
not gloomy, aud, with close and eco
nomical management, we can see nothing
that will prevent the company hereafter
from continuing to pay their regular
dividends to its stockholders, when they
are so much needed by thoseowuing the
property, aud when nearly all other in
terests are suffering, aud it is almost im
possible for any persons to invest their
money where they can get a safe stock,
and one that will pay something oh the
investment. We may next year have
lighter gross earnings than the year just
passed, but if the earnings are less, then
the expenses must be reduced in propor
tion to the redaction in the gross earn
ings.
It is not desirable to do a large in
crease of business unless it can be done
at remunerative rates to the company.
At certain seasons of the year the com
petition is so strong that rates are forced
down to a point where it is a loss to the
company instead of a profit. In such
cases it is best to refnse the business
rather than work at a loss. In making
this showing it may not be amiss to re
mind the stockholders that it has not
been done at the expense of the track
and rolling stock, From the report of
the Road Master yon will peroeive that
the track is in better order than at
any time for many years, and he feels
satisfied that there will be no difficulty
in being able to keep it in fine order, so
that quicker time may be made over it.
The Road Master reports that daring
! the year there have been laid 2,134
582-2,240 tons of new rails, which has
laid 23) miles of new track; 904 old rails
have been repaired at repair shop, which
has laid 1) mile*. By using the ratchet
drill, 2) miles of the old olamp track
have been changed to a fish bar track
The small flange iron on the Athens
Branch has been taken up, and has been
replaced with other rails from the main
line; 97,411 cross ties have been put in
the track daring the year.
Steel Hails.
In these days, when the rates of trans
portation of freight are continually
going down, it is very important for
managers of railroads to economize in
all departments, and I think it advisa
ble to compare the wear of steel rails
with the iron which is being nsed at this
time on Southern roads. It is claimed
that steel rails will last over twenty
years, whilst the iron astd on Southern
roads does not exceed an average over
five years.
Steel rails only cost about twenty dol
lars per ton more than iron and, with
this slight increase in the price, are cer
tainly much the cheapest in the end.
We have pnrehased (500) five hundred
tons of steel rails, which wili be laid
down at an early day between Bel Air and
Angusta.
Daring the year two new wood and
water stations have beeu built—at Hear
ing and Oconee, and one is being built
at this time at Buckhead and will be
ready for nse at an early day.
Two new depots have been built—one
at Camak and one at Clarkston. Alcovy
Bridge has been recovered and repaired,
and is now considered safe.
The Master of Machinery reports the
engines in good order, but during the*
year it may be necessary to purchase one
passenger eDgine, to replace the one
which exploded a few months ago at
Barnett. In order to shorten our run
ning time for passenger trains, it has
been in cohtemplation to change onr
passenger engines into coal burners,
which would enable ns to reduce the
running time between Angusta and At
lanta at least thirty minutes. We have
already changed two engines to coal
burners, and our Master Machinist re
ports that both give entire satisfaction.
There is one important point which
the stockholders must not overlook in
our working expenses this year compar
ed with the previous one. By referring
to the last |ancual report of the Gene
ral Superintendent you will perceive
that during the previous year there were
paid for new engines and new cars about
one hundred and five thousand dollars,
and on account of so large a number of
cars in good order, and engines on hand,
it was not necessary this year to pur
chase any engines or cars ; also a re
duction of 12) per cent, was made on
the wages of all employees of the com
nauy, on the Ist of April, 1875, which
has added very much to the reduction
in expenses of the road during this
year.
Car Department.
The cars of the company are in good
order,excepting about 25 cars now in the
yard for repairs. We report the present
stock of cars as follows:
Passenger cas 28
Baggage cars 11
Mail cars 3
Express cars 3
Box cars., 537
Gab cars 22
Platform car 5...... 127
Stock cars 34
Coal cars 65
Shanty cars 23
Wood cars 2
Pay cars.... 1
Total 856
The Master Car Builder reports this
number of cars owned by the company,
and that their condition is good; also,
that he is building two new sleeping
cars, which will soon be put on the
road, and which will not only add to the
revenue of the company, but to the
comfort of the traveling public. We
take pleasure in being able to make
such a good report of the condition of
our car department.
The burning of the bridge over the
Oconee river was a great misfortune to
the company, but by the united efforts
of the employees, a temporary structure
was put up in about nine days, so that
trains could pass over, and all sched
ules be resumed as usual. We have
contracted for rebuilding two spans of
iron bridge for ($9,000) nine thousand
dollars, all iron except the cross ties—
and which will be completed about the
Bth of June.
3lacon and Augusta Railroad.
The gross earnings of this road for the
last fiscal year amount to $108,090 68;
expenses, $94,254 35; net earnings, $13,-
836 33.
Before closing this, my annual report,
I desire to express my sincere thauks to
the officers aud employees for their un
tiring devotion to the interest of the
company during the year just passed.
Respectfully submitted,
S. K. Johnson,
Superintendent.
Master Machinist’s Report.
Machine Shop Georgia Railroad, \
Augusta, Ga., April 27, 1876. j
S. K. Johnson, Esq., Superintendent
Georgia Railroad:
Sir—The total cost of maintaining the
motive power for the fiscal year just
passed was $228,714 18, and for the pre
vious year, $283,991 28—a decrease of
$55,277 10. We have at this time 49
engines. Of these, 46 are in running
order, and 3 are in shop for extensive re
pairs.
The total number of miles run was
1,083,446, against 1,140,269—a decrease
of 56,823 miles. We refer you to accom
panying table, showing performance aud
cost of maintenance of each individual
engine. Most of those marked in run
ning order require some repairs during
Summer to place them in condition for
Fall and Winter business.
We need one additional passenger en
gine to perform the service with econo
my; and as they can be bought at this
time so much cheaper than at any pre
vious period, we trust yotf may be in
duced to recommend the purchase. We
have changed two passenger engines to
coal burners, and will change othe s as
soon as practicable. The performance
of tli use in use is satisfactory, the con
sumption of coal being less 'than a ton
(of 2,000 pounds) for fifty miles run.
Respectfully submitted,

Road Master’s Opfioe, )
Georgia Railroad and Banking Cos., >
Union Point, March 31st, 1876. )
S. K. tfohnson, Esq., Superintendent
Georgia Railroad, Augusta, Ga.:
Sir—Enclosed please find report of
tools, material, &c., on hand March Ist,
1876, also an account of operations in
this department since the first of March,
1875.
We have received 97,411 cross ties, all
of which have been put into the track
on main line and branches; also 2,134
582-2240 tons of new rails have been re
ceived, laying 17} miles of new track and
patching six miles of fish bar track,
total 23} miles. Nine huudied and four
old rails have been repaired at repair
shop, which has laid 1} miles.
By using the ratohet drill, 2} miles of
old T rail track have been changed by
removing the old style clamp and apply
ing the fish bar in its stead. The joints in
three miles of fish bar track have been
removed by cutting off the battered end
of the rails, and drilling new holes. The
little flange iron on the Athens Branch
has been taken up and replaced with
rails taken up from the main line.
We have used 510,690 feet of lumber,
the principal part being used for repairs
on main line and branches, the remain
der in erecting new buildings. The sta
tion house at Dearing having been burnt,
and the one at Oconee being in an un
safe condition, new ones have been built
at each of those places. Anew one has
been located at Buckhead, which will be
ready for use in a short time.
New depots have been built at Camak
and Clarkston. The trestle at Union
Point has been renewed. Alcovy bridge
has been recovered and repaired, and is
now considered safe. Trestles on the
Goodrich Railroad have also been re
paired, and are thought to be safe for
the present. Two culverts have been
built and six repaired.
The ditches, generally, are in good
order. If the weather continues favor
able, wo will soon have them all well
drained.
There yet remains 22} miles of old T
rail track on main line, 144 miles on up
per, and 7} miles on lower division.
In closing this report, I will here state
that the general condition of the track,
in every respect, is better that it has
been in mauy years, if ever equalled at
any time heretofore. The speed that
we are bow making over it, and the few
accidents during the past year, are
strong facts in support of my assertion;
and the remarkable precision in schedule
time in making regular trips is unparal
leled in the history of the road. I hope,
by close attention during the present
year, to improve the condition, so as to
make even better time than we are now
making. '
Respectfully submitted.

THE McEVOY TRIAL.
The Defendant Convicted of Murder.
The trial of Robert McEvoy, who shot
Captain J. J. Gregg at Graniteville, on
the 20th of April, took place at Aiken
last Friday, in the Court of General Ses
sions, before Judge Maher. Several
gentlemen from this city, witnesses in
the .case, went down to Aikeu Friday
morning to give their testimony. The
case was called at ten o’clock, a. m., and
occupied the attention of the Court un
til half-past eleven at night. The de
fendant was represented by O. C. Jor
dan, Esq., and Lee and Wiiipper, col
ored, and the prosecution by D. S. Hen
derson, Esq., and W’iggins, Solicitor-
General, and R. B. Elliott, colored. The
jury consisted of nine negroes aud three
whites. The testimony offered by the
prosecution was substantially the same
as the facts already published in regard
to the matter by the Chronicle and
Sentinel. The defense offered no tes
timony. McEvoy chewed tobacco vig
orously during the trial, and maintained
an indifferent attitude throughout. He
is evidently a hardened culprit. The
charge of Judge Maher, which is said to
have been a very able effort, was de
livered at half-past eleven. The jury
then retired. At 3 o’clock, a. m., they
returned with a verdict of guilty of
murder in the first degree. Sentence
will be passed upon McEvoy at 9 o’clock
Monday morning. We understand that
the feeling against him is very great,
and that there was a strong probability
of his meeting death at the hands of
Judge Lynch in case a different verdict
had been rendered by the jury.
A LAW CONGRESS.
Another Attraction for the Centenuial.
Philadelphia, May 6.—The United
States Law Association, through its
President, H. Charles Ulman, of New
York, has made arrangements for a
Congress of the leading lawyers through
out the country to convene at Philadel
phia the 20th, 21st and22d of June. The
object is to adopt measures looking to
the unification of the laws of the several
States, affecting more especially com
mercial and domestic relations, and for
the general expresston of opinion re
garding the variance of laws in the dif
ferent States.
SUNDAY AND THE CENTENNIAL.
Conflicting Views of the Sabbath Closing.
Atlanta, May 6.—The General Con
ference of the African Methodist Church
adopted resolutions of thanks to the
managers of the Centennial, recognizing
the Sabbath.
New York, May 6.—The German
American Independent Citizens Associa
tion has passed a resolution denouncing
the action of the Centennial Commis
sioners in closing the exhibition build
ings on Sunday as contrary to the spirit
of the Declaration of Independence and
the liberal spirit of the age.
Cavalry Survivors’ Association.—A
called meeting of the Cavalry Survivors’
Association was held at their hall last
evening, Vice-President Eve presiding.
Resolutions of respect in regard to the
death of Captain James J. Gregg were
adopted. The rules were suspended
and the offices of Secretary and Treas
urer consolidated. Captain N. K. But
ler, Jr., the Treasurer, was elected to
fill the position. It was resolved to hold
the meetings of the Association quarter
ly instead of monthly hereafter.

WEEKLY REVIEW*
During the week at the Cotton Exchange
cotton has shown a material decline both on
spot and for future delivery. In spot there
have been but moderate sales; buyers in the
main satisfled by deliveries on May contracts.
The May notices were rather more numerous
than was expected, and cotton being forced
on the market has a depressing effect. An
other source of depression has been dullness
of the Liverpool market. The market for fu
ture delivery was at one time favorably effect
ed by reports of very cold weather at the
South, but soon relapsed into depression, from
which it has not yet recovered. Sales on spot
for week ending last night were 4,663 bains,
and for future delivery 192,000 bales.

OUR NEW ENTERPRISE!
Richards’ Bazar,
PUBLISHED BY
V. Richards & Bros.
AND
L. RICHARDS & BRO.,
Proprietors of the Fredericksburg and Au
gusta Dry Goods Stores, Augusta, Ga.
WE are not only running two of the Larg
est Dry Goods Stores in the city of Au
gusta, where the Ladies can find FIRST CLASS
GOODS of every description and at the Lowest
Prices, bnt have also decided to run a First
Class Illustrated Ladies’ Journal, to be called
[Richards’ Bazar,
And devoted principally to the interest of the
Ladies. Each number to be beautifully illus
trated with flue Engravings, representing Nat
ural Scenery, different Styles of New Gar
ments, Ac., with fall descriptions of same ;
also, regular correspondents from New York
and other places on Fashions, General and So
cial Topics, and many other things which will
delight the Ladies.
We have often wondered why some person
in the South did not publish a paper for the
Ladies. The Gentiemen have tneir papers,
treating on Agriculture, Stocks, Banking,
Horse Raising, Ac., in profusion, and we do
not see why a paper devoted to the interest of
the Ladies cannot be supported ; but as no one
else seems to have had confidence enough m
them to believe they would support such an
institution, we have decided to give it a trial.
We have gone to groat expense in getting out
the first number of the BAZ AR, bat we intend
to present this number gratuitously to every
Lady who will send or call for a copy at either
of our Stores, with a hope that all who like it
will give it their support. For the present we
will pnblish the BAZAR quarterly, but if suffi
ciently encouraged will publish it monthly, and
at the low price of fifty cents per annum, and
wid mate it one of the best papers ever pub
lished either North or Sunth for anything like
the price. The price will put it in the reach
of the poorest, and we earnestly solicit all who
may receive the first number, and who would
like to subscribe, to send in their names
as early as they can. We intend to distribute
four or five thousand copies, and hope they
will bring us in ten thousand subscribers.
A limited number of advertisements from
our merchants and others will be received and
inserted at reasonable rates.
