A hand organ in the hands Of some itinerant
vagabond may always be considered the nuisance
of the period but when, as was the case on Mon
day. instead of giving forth concordant melody,
it goes slip-shod over the entire chromatic scale
without regard to the simplest principles Of
rhythm or harmony, the effect upon sensitive ears
is simply excrucating.
Notwithstanding frequent rain storms and show

OLD ORCHARD.
The National Temperance Camp
meeting.
The Sixth Days Proceedings.

Old Orchard Beach, August g. Last nights
session of the National temperance campmeeting
was continued until near midnight. The large as
semblage in the tabernacle was reused to more
than ordinary manifestation of fervency. The
subject agitated was the doctrine of sanctifeation
which lately received enthusiastic treatment at
the hands Of the Mathodists.
After such indulgence in Incorporate hours, it
might reasonably be expected that there would be
some tagging spirits this morning, but nature
lent helping hand and brought the best recuper-
alive force in fresh, braceiag breezes; but if the
interest in yesterday proceedings is to be guaged
by the number present, it is materially reduced
500 being the limit Of the morning attendance.
The first meeting, at $50, was held in the Tab
ernacle, and was presided over by ii. W. Adams
Of New York. At the open air meeting, at 10 80,
Rev. Mr.. Dickinson of Boston, with Mrs II. E.
Pientiss Of Bangor, presided. A delegation of
the brethren, five in number, from Galesburg H.,
were in attendance. Rev. DR.. Babcock of Pha-

tory regarding temperance. Mrs. Prentss follow
ed, and her words closed the proceedings of the
morning. Nothing that was said appeared to

short, pithy speech. Mrs. Kent Mason, who asks
only that she may be known as 1.-The Temperance

The Negro Troubles Ended.
Several Prominent Negroes make Con-
fessiOn.

augusta, August %. The recent threatening
trouble between the whites and blacks rose solely
from an insane desire on the part of three or four
idle, turbulent negroes to gain notoriety and
power Being connected with colored semi mill
tary companies, they were thus unabled TO draw
many quiet and law-abiding negroes into their
plot.
The prudent course Of Governor Smith in meet
ing the matter, has tended to quiet the people and
all apprehensions of trouble now over and he
was greeted at the public meeting at Sandersville
on Saturday, with enthusiasm, by both blacks and
whites He addressed them, urging the blacks to
be industrious and law abiding, and the whites to
be calm and forbearDg.
A hundred negroes are in Washington county
Jail, but with the exception of few ringleaders,
all will be released. OF the 20 arrests in Burke
county, all but five have been released.
General Prince Rivers of South Carolina, says
he knew nothing of the affair. The citizens OF
Augusta do not believe that he had anything to
do with the projected rising

INVEsTIG ALTON OF THE CASE
OF THE ABBOTTsFORD.
But Little Blame Attached to the OEcers
or Crew.

London, August %, In delivering its Judgment
in the case of the Abbottsford investigation, the
court of enquiry said that they were perfectly sat
isfed that the the vessel was in good order, that
the general character and conduct OF the ou1cers
were perfect and all that could be desired by crti-
cal owner and critical public. The vessel made
the journey safely until near lIollyhead and then
in a very fe " hours was lost in fog, on a sum
mer day, on toe coast OF Anglessy. Inc court
were OF the opinion that the loss was due in the
first instance, to the masters having mlsJudged
the distance from Hollyhead, and not having made
sufficient allowance for the force OF the tide, es-
pecially during the several times the vessel was
slowed down or stopped for soundngs. They held
that these mistakes were deserving OF censure.
They could not say that, considering the state OF
the weather after passing Holyhead, it was pru-
dent to proceed at the rate of speed which the
vessel did though the loss of the vessel could not
be attributed to that cause. The captains certif-
cate would be returned to him.

The d. pa, turc OF a Good man.

The Depal ture OF Good man.
Mr.. John n. Clifford died at his home in this
city, on Sunday evening, at quarter past eight
o'clock. His age was 50 years and months.
Mr.. Clifford WAS born in Litchfeld, and came TO
Augusta at the age of IL years, where he has
ever since resided. He learned the blacksmith's
trade in the shop that was then near the present
ocation Of the Journal office, True & Knowlton
proprieiors. In this business he became accom-
plished, and continued in it until eleven years
ago. when he was compelled to relinqush it on
account Of poor health. He spent four winters at
the South, but always gladly returned home to en-
Joy its comforts and the society Of loving friends
During these eleven years he has been an invalid,
calmly and patiently enduring suffering, without
murmur or complaint.
During the great revival that swept over the
State, Mr.. Clifford at the age of twentysix years,
became converted, and joined the Baptist church,
being the first person baptised in the city as the
fruits of the revival. Soon the church became di-
vided on the slavery question, which then aginted
the community, Mr.. Clifford joining the anti
slavery wing, and afterwards becoming a member
of the Free Baptist church, in which place ne la
bored faithfully up to the time Of his death.
The subject Of this notice was particularly con-
spicuous In his advocacy of the freedom OF the
slave, being one Of the pioneers IN the then thin
ranks of the free soil Cor abolition) party. He
was always proud Of the name Of ''abolitionst,"
and when reproved on one occasion, by one of
our democratic citizens, for throwing away his
vote ON the free soil candidate" he replied, "Not
so you and will live to see the day when every
slave viii be ffce, and when this now despised
party Win be dominant in the nation" His words
were like those of prophecy. The colored people
were his friends and companions, his sympathies
being drawn out towards them as poor and de-
spised race. He always deemed 1t a privilege to
be their friend and helper. A slave woman, es-
Gaping from the cruel mandates Of the fugitive
slave law, has found home At Mr.. Cliford's for
the past seventeen years.
The character Of Mr.. Clifford was clear and
transparent, his life was one Of those practical
ones, "known and read of all men," and no words
of ours can add to its symmetry and christian
spirit. A sufferer these MANY years, he had trod
that dark vale with unfaltering steps. and to him
the desth-bed was glad and restful place. The
bells were tolling forsthe evening service, when
the faithful pastor bent by his bedside to catch the
last faint words of farewell. They came in the
weakness of whispers, but in the strength also of q

and my companions, and father and mother.
have no desire to stay" The pastor babe him
good night promising to return after meeting.
But while the little meeting at the vestry was in
progress, there was another meeting above; the
immortal spirit of the patient sufferer had met
with friends and kindred in the happy land. The
eyes had quietly closed, and without struggle,
the tired body sank 10 rest ready to enter
"The low green tent
Whose curtain never outward swings"
Mr.. Clifford's third wife and two adopted child
rem survive him. The funeral Of the deceased
will take place on Wednesday or Thursday.
