The well known firm Of VIM. Dean &
Co., at No. 1913 Poplar street, keeps con-
stantly on hand the freshest and best
black and green teas. To every pur-
chaser Of a pound Of tea Dean & Co.
presents a Japanned box or safe, in
which the tea is securely packed. From
a thorough trial of the tea we can but
pronounce it equal to any sold in the
city, and possessing a delightful aro-
matte flavor. Tea drinkers cannot fail
to pay Dean 4 Co. a visit.

JAIL BREAKING.
hssses ante Money 81


r. B. McGee, the old Trenton citizen
who has been passing counterfeit money
in our city, after being bound over in the
sum of $4,000 by u. S. Commissioner
Richards, yesterday, was placed in
the county Jail for safe keeping. He
was permitted to lounge about the front
part Of the Jail, owing to the persistent
pleadings Of himself and friends. In
about two hours the official eye Of turn
key Stewart was turned ia another
direction, Of which McGee took adj
vantage by scaling the wall Of the
prison and escaping. The rumor of
his escape soon spread throughout
the city. Detective Shelly, who ar
rested McGee and worked up the
case, was the maddest man in the city,
while well known criminal lawyer saw
in his escape the departure of thous-
and dollar fee. At IL o'clock last night
officers Mcfarland and Shelby dis
covered McGee lurking near the Char
lesion depot and arrested him at once.
We have the finest Jail in the State, and
no good excuse can be given for per
hitting an old man, partially intoxica-
ted, to climb the wall in the afternoon and
walk out almost without discovery. The
Jail walls are too low, and the sheds
and outhouses butting up against the
wall on the inside ought to be removed,
as should be all pieces of timber in the
yard that could be put to use for scaling
purposes. There is not the slightest
difficulty in getting over the wall from
the Jail yard; in fact it would be much
safer to have no wall around the build
ing. McGee was quite anxious to get
away from the station-house before his
commitment by the U. S. Commissioner,
and it is said he offered well-known
detective fifteen hundred dollars to aid
in his escape. Too much praise cannot
be awarded to detective Mat Shelby
for arresting this extensive dealer in
counterfeit money, and to.oficers Nc
Partland and Mahoney for his recapture
last night at the depot. Our police
force, under Chief 0'Donnell and aids,
deserves the concentrations of the pub
lie for efficiency and prompt attention
to duty.

The market closed dull yesterday, with
scarcely buyer in the market. Sales

scarce. Sales up TO noon we're nearly

A young Criminal.

Sam Mack, youthful darby, aged
fourteen years, was placed on trial to-
day before Recorder Scales, on the
charge of shooting with intent to kill
little negro aged five years. The
boys resided in South Memphis, and yes
terday, during a difficulty between them,
the little rascal drew pistol and fired it
at the head of his comrade. The ball
passed close to his head, and the pow
der burned his face severely. Recorder
Scales committed the prisoner, and
placed his bonds at one thousand dol
lars to answer before the Criminal
Court.

AReCormed Iuebriate.

Some months since an individual we'll
known in this city appeared every week
before the Recorder on the charge of
drunkenness. Since then he got religion
and reformed, and now visits the station
house This old quarters) daily to dis
tribute tracts among the black and white
occupants, officials, etc. Like the philan-
thropic Howard, of England, he confines
his religious attentions to station-houses
and iails, and earnestly seeks to bring
about revival of religion and reforma-
ton among the prisoners. This morn
ing he visited the Adams street sta
tion-house, as usual, and distributed
the usual number of tracts. To one of
the negro prisoners, confined on the
charge of grand larceny, he presented a
tract on the Demoralizing Tendencies
of Theaters, Circuses and Horse Races"
while to another he presented a more
appropriate text, Peace to the Trou-
bled." To the officials he gave quite
number of pamphlets. Since the intro
duction of the tracts among the heathens
at our doors, although at present behind
the bars of prison, the prisoners tune
up every evening and sing hymns ear
nestly if not unsteady The result of
this unique mission will not be devoid
of interest.

There is much better demand for
discounts today, both at the banks and
and in the open market, and rates
though not advanced are firm at 10 ia
IL per cent per annum at the former and
from Il to q per cent per month on the
street. AS a general rule collections to-
day are fair and better than at this time
last year. The supply of currency con-
tinues good and the movement to the
interior, noticed by the LEDGER yester-
day, is increasing.
Exchange is as scarce as during the
latter part of last week, and the offerings
light. We note accommodation transac-
tons of $4,000 between banks to-day
at 81 % per $1,000 premium. Eastern
bills are taken at par, and ic premium
the selling rate on Eastern and Northern
points. New Orleans bills are offered
only in small amounts and are taken at
3 to &c discount and sold at &c discount
to par.
Transactions in coin are limited;
some light purchases of gold at lll!.
In local securities the movement to-
day has been confined to transactions in
Arkansas levee bonds, for which there
seems to be AN improved demand, with
several sales of $1,000 each at 4Oc; in
fact, the purchaser took all he could
find at that price. County warrants are

A DIsaRAoEFUn AND SHAMEFUL Aor.
We learned, by accident, Of oircum-
stance which, il true as we heard it,
ought to bring the blush to'the cheeks
OF all mankind to, think that one of
Gods creatures, known as man, should
be the author of such an outrage When
the remains of the Confederate soldiers
were being exhumed from the battle
field of Gettysburg, nun, whose father
owned tho field whereon the soldiers
were buried, actually took q gold plate,
to which were attached set Ct false
teeth, from the head of one Of the SOL
diers, and now refuses to give it up.
When the agent of the Savannah Me.
mortal Association visited the residence
Of David Blocker, (the name of this
Christian Citizen near Gettysburg, Pa,
for the purpose of obtaining the remains
of the Confederate dead. supposed to be
buried there, he found thnt two bodies
Gully wcro buried on said farm. They
were those of Lieut.. Col. Winn. Of the
4th Georgia Regiment, md Mr.. Law,
of the same orga ganization. Blocker posi-
removed until ho was paid for allowing
ns they bad, whereupon the agent left.
He returned, however, subsequently,
md through dint of persuasion and
STAINING, he prevniled on Blocker to al
low the bodies to be cxhumed; and
when thcy wero removed, he (Blocker)
stole tho teeth.
Lot This man be passed around, so
TINT his name may become familiar to
every resident Of the land, and when
this vilo scum of humanity comes along,
let him be, Us he should, scoffed at by all
honest men, and Stunned as on object
entirely unworthy Of being conntenanced
by decent society.

The New City Hall and New Market
Tho Letter or Mr.. Parkins.

The New City Hall and New nzerl<et---
Tho Letter OF mr.. Parkins.
Our readers have observed the note Of
the City Clerk and the letter OF the archi.
teot. Mr.. Parkins, published in yester-
days PHGN1x. To refer the editorial Of
the PHOENIX to Mr.. Parkins was right. on
Mayor Alexander's part. We give him
credit for TINT. This was what we de-
sired. We have now Mr.. Parkins' reply.
It is very vague and indefinite. It is
entirely unsatisfs ctory. In the first
place, we think it susceptible OF proof
that the cost of building ia higher in
Atlanta than in Columbia. It stands to
reason that it should be. Atlanta is an
interior town, more remote than Colum-
bin from the seaport, and iron, lumber,
lime, glass, sand. wages, building mate
rials in general, are; no doubt, doarer
than in this city. AS to bricks. we are
not now informed as to their market
price in Atlanta, but we would presume
that they are cheaper here than in that
city. But, aside from these considera-
tions. we have to soy that this is not the
poiut. Mr.. Etter, on the part of the
City Council, is on side issue. The
main point is. what is the proper, honest
contract price for The ,OoaA: contracted for
BY mfr. Alien and bid on BY Messrs. War
ing and Johnson. Let us leave Mr.. Par
kins. and what he said, out of the ques-
tion. Let the plans and specifications Of
the new City Hall, as they eEore handed
to Messrs. Allen, Waring aid johnson,
be submitted to an impartial committee
of citizens. This alone will satisfy the
public, and this alone should satisfy the
public. And the same may be said for
the new market. Certainly there can be
no doubt as to the disposition of the
City Council to submit the matter to this
test. Is not this reasonable demand? !?
II there be no fraud, then vindication
will follow. We are pleased to observe
that. Board of Trade have appointed
a committee to Investigate this matter.
We are satisfied that they will do their
duty without favor or affection. Let tho
whole matter be thoroughly sifted. All
the public want is the truth. ...6

The KILLING OF HKMpH1LL.-As we
stated last week. John Gardner, q special
deputy Of the Sheriff of this County,
shot and killed John A. Hemphill while
attempting to effect his arrest on bench
warrant. At the last term of the Circuit
Court for this County, Hcmphill was
convicted of perjury, but absconded be-
fore the sentence Of the court was r .ssed
upon him. A sealed sentence was left
by the presiding Judge. On Monday of
last week he was arrested by Deputy
Gardner, and on tho next morning, at 2
o'clock. was brought to the Jail for com
mitment. While at the Jail door he
made pretext to step short distance
from those having him in charge, and
the permission being granted him, after
walking a few steps from the door he
commenced running at full speed and
made his escape. His whereabouts we're
soon ascertaincd, however, aud Deputy
Gardner made the second effort to cap.
tnre him, with the result heretofore pub
lshed. The matter was Immediately
brought before the grand jury, which
body failed to find true bill against
Gardner, and he was consequently dis
charged from further custody.
