ofrare enjoyment long to be remembered, not
only by those to whom it was fitting compli-

1t was not known until Thursday that the city
was to be honored with the presence of the
distinguished guests, and consequently all
the details of the reception had to be carried

them. Notwithstanding this, the committee
have performed their labors admirably and
successfully, as the expressed satisfaction of
all in attendance upon the soiree amply attest.
A large portion of the work of the committee
has devolved upon Col. Osgood, who has de-
voted his entire time since the invitation was
extended to perfect all the arrangements.
We have no doubt that both English and
American officers will leave Augusta with

noon all over the city, at the the direct state
ment made in the Commercial Advertiser, a
leading republican paper, to the effect that the
Hon. d. S. Bennett, had obtained eighty or
ninety thousand dollars from banks on reports
from the Elevating Association for grain
stored in his elevator, belonging to said As
ISOLATION, and then privately selling and
moving said grain from the building. The

paving insurance on such grain for months,
when there was no such grain there. Tire

ton, and colossal piece of swindling, and

putcd.
