Officials of the Treasury department on Sat-

the matter here had proposed to certain clerks
in the Treasury to pay $4,000 for pretended
abstracts from books, showing enormous
frauds in the issue Of bonds and currency,
which were to be accompanied with affidavits
setting forth that the books had been mutt

forgery had been repeatedly committed in

of these frauds had been called to the per-

agreed to give the 500, 900 if they could raise
it, and sent an agent to New York city to
make the attempt. Ready money could not
be obtained there, but the parties were off,

Memorial Stone Erected to the Memory of
Ex-GOv. Cony.
The remains of the late Gov. Cony have
been removed from the family tomb, on the
east side OF the river, to the new lot recently
fitted up in Forest City cemetery. 1t is in
the northwest corner, and is therefore in the
most elevated and commanding position of
any in the cemetery. The lot will be greatly
improved the next season. An elegant stone,
wrought from sta,uary marble, has been
placed at the head of the grave. 1t rests
upon a granite base and is surmounted by a
Maltese cross of elaborate workmanship, the
whole being ubout eight feet in height. The
marble is pure and white as the whitest snow.
sunken tablet on the northwest side of the
stone contains the name of the Judge, the
date of his birth and death; nothing more
On the southeast side, near the base, raised
letters form the word "CoNY." The stone is
very plain and simple in its design, but yet
chaste and elegant. The design was drawn,
plans made and the stone manufactured by
Mr.. William Ii. Turner at his works in this
city. Compared with some other stones in
the cemetery, of New York manufacture, it
will at once be pronounced superior. 1t is
certainly valuable addition to the already
attractive 'Nt Auburn" of Augusta, the
lovely hillside cemetery, "Forest City,
and is an appropriate memorial to the dstn-
guished citizen whose name it bears.

Meeting of the Reform CIub-Remarks of
Sumner y. Brick.

summer ,. Bftck.
The meeting of the Reform Club at Me-
oman Hall. on Saturday evening, was well at
tended and the exercises very interesting.
The Augusta Band kindly volunteered their
services for the occasion. Stirring speeches
were made by DR.. Brckett, Hon. Joshua Nye,
Capt. Wyman, Sumner S. Brick, J. L. Heath,
Curtis Higgins and r. Mckinney. We give
Mr.. Bricks remarks entire:
My FRIENps-and l trust and hope / can
call all of you friends-notwithsta landing the
unfortunate circumstances which have sur
rounded me, do not mean to make a speech
full of oratory or towery language, but to tell
in my feeble way, the sad tale OF misery and
woe that has been brought upon me by the
curse of rum. Starting in life as l did, full
of bright hopes, intending to occupy posi-
ton in society,-at least respectable-with a
family loved as did my own life with
good trade by which could comfortably feed
and clothe them and lay up something for sup
port in my declining years, along came the
destroyer and l become victim. Had l
supposed when young man, with bright
future before me, that taking that first glass
would lead to the vulnerable woe that has fol-
lowed, would have hurled it from my lips as
would deadly poison. But no. In fancied
security went on, on. l never meant to be
be a drunkard when l first began to drink,
but there is but one end to the road for him
who touches the accursed poison unless drawn
back and held back hy the strong hand of love,
charity and forgiveness so well exemplfied by
moral suasion now used by the good and true
men who commenced this glorious temperance
reform. have no hard words for those who
have sold me liquor. The fault was as much
mine as theirs. My we'll known love of fun
and jokes led me to seek places where l could
amuse and be amused. Love of good cheer,
sociability, &C., with joke or story winding up
by being treated or treating. First drinking
for sociablity; next because wanted it, and
finally it seemed as though must have it un
til you see me as am. My family broken
up; myself ruined in purse; ruined in health;
and worst of all ruined in reputation-this
last, however, l am determined by future
good conduct to recover.
When l think of what l am and what l
might have been, can well say that run. has
done much for me. Little good and much

has restrained me from extravagant living,
costly clothing, valuable jew elry, fast horses,
SEASIDE mansions and yachts. 1t has pre-
vented me from being bloated bond -holder.

but am guiltless of bonds or stock. 1t has
saved me from paying exhorbitant taxes on
