If reports are true, the conduct of a part of the crowd at the joint dis euaaion lietween Gen. Gordon anil Maj Bacon, in Augusta, last week, •was simply disgusting to every fair winded man. The joint discussions between Gen Gordon and Maj. Bacon ended at Conyers last Saturday. They should never have commenced. Many Lard words and unpleasant feelings could have been avoided if such bud been the case Hon. Geo. T. Barnes, our able representative, has favored us with a SK>py of the recent speech of Hon Geo. B. Tillman upon the “Free Coinage of Silver." It is an able document and presents the subject in a clear light. A man was lined one hundred dol lars by the Recorder in Atlanta, for vising profane language in the pres «n<» of his daughter.—Evening News Just such work against profanity ovould lie in order in other sections ■of the .State.

Look out, neighbor, for an indignation meeting by the courting club The Democratic party of Columbia county will meet at Appling next Tuesday. The meeting will be one of great importance to the people and every voter should lie present. It lias bean suggested by some that it will be pro) er at that time among other things, to appoint delegates to represent the county in the Guberna torial Convention. We lu.pe upon this subject the meeting will give a chance for a full and free expression of the will of the people by deciding upon a primary election. Rev. J ami* E Evan* 1).

The river lias taken a notion to “boom," and as a consequence is “booming" to its satisfaction, ami at the same time, is causing a great deal of loss to the farmers, both on the South Carolina and the Georgia aide* To see the river you could scarcely imagine what an immense body of water the “Savannah could show up."

Chas. F. Lombard, AUGUSTA, GA. fairly beaten by Grovetown in the second base bull match lietween the two towns, makes a feeble effort to excuse the defeat by the former by Attributing it to the “bad condition of the grounds.” Our Harlem friend says: * , Tlie diamond aud field are composed of a freshly cleared new ground, aud a recently ditched frog pond.” All this shows, we think, a lack of observation and appeciation on the Eart of our Harlem friend. We have een accustomed to consider our ground the first cousin to a macad amized road, with beautiful shade frees, and a surrounding belt of grass. When the ladies attend our matches they can sit in cool places, ami are not compelled tc put up parasols as they sometimes do in Harlem. Still it is very natural that our Harlem friend should croak a little, since he compares our lovely ground to a "frog pond." But we are generous, and hope he wont become too much discouraged. It is quite possible that the Harlem boys may yet defeat us, but if they do we think it will be due not so much to their skill, which we gladly acknowledge, as to the regu larity anil loveliness of our ground, which we are proud to have in the canter of our town.
