THE DAY.
Scenes About the city and on the Parade
Ground.

The city was in its glory yesterday. BY
o'clock the streets were jammed with vehi-
Giles. and the sidewalks crowded with pedes-
trians. The surrounding towns and cities
poured their quotas into Augusta. Water
and State streets were alive with people has
tening to the Muster field. Hundreds of peo-
ple from outside visited the city. and many
spectators witnessed the evolutions of the
troops on the level field. Proprietors of civ
ing curiosities,' vendors of fruit and confec-
tionery. and dealers in various articles, as
usual. were on hand in force, and CLEANED
MANY dollars from the pockets of the
sstrangers within the gates.
GuARp MOUNTING.
At 10 o'clock details from the various
companies were drawn up upon the parade
ground. and "guard mounting took place.
Guards were assigned duty and posted for the
coming "a hours. 1t was very pretty seh'

Oh CITY, Pa, June 30, 1881.
Dear CapitoHaa-This place is the
centre aud headquarters of the oil
trade of this country. When petrole-
UNI was first discovered hereabouts
in the year 1859, there were very few
of the then scattered settlers, who had
much faith in The future Importance
of coal oil. However, when the news
flashed cityward-to Philadelphia and
New York then a second California
gold fever stampede was Immediately
inaugurated, and for months the roads
leading into northwestern Pennsyl-
vania were one mass, almost of wealth
seeking wayfarers.
Cities rushed up in a night; where
once was Il desert waste, was soon
transformed into scene of busting,
human activity. OIL was high and
scarce, and the man with free-fow-
ing one hundred barrels day well

The latest news of Mr.. Garfield are
to the effect that his chances of recov-
cry are improving with each succeed
ing day. This intelligence will cause
genuine pleasureeverywhere. Indeed
the dastardly and wanton assault
made upon his life, has excited the
warmest sympathy of the people to-
ward the President, who has shown a
fortitude truly admirable in so try
ing an ordeal. All political animosi-
ties have been stilled in the face of
this murderous attack upon the fairly
elected Chief representative of the
American people, whose life it is
hoped will be preserved by the Wise
Ruler of the Universe.

LETTER FROM ROsEDALE.
RosEDALE- La, June 80, 1881.

DEAR CAPITOLIAN-It has been
over three months-it seems as many
years-since the cars have ceased to
run, and we have been denied the
pleasure of visiting your beautiful
| Highland City. Can you not imag-
inc then how welcome you have been
to us in the interval but it has not
been without it's good effects, for we
have been forced to travel on our
''frst-class steamers" that ply be-
tween here and Plaquemine and have
had foretaste of what the bad must
expect in the next world, and are
therefore trying to be a better people.
We have never appreciated Mr.. Mon
tan's noble efforts to keep us alive
aud in communication with the world
until now, his railroad has sometimes
been called rotten but / should like
to dub it the "Old reliable" Talk
about your Texas Pacific, wait until
you see it, they try to encourage us
by mentioning the short distance
from this place to Plaquemine, but |
remember of Mcclellan Il think it
was Oh being told of the short dis
lance to Richmond, his answer was
yes it is short but there is q Stone
wall to batter down. two immense
Hills to climb and oh! such Long
street to travel
Just how hot it is you all know
only too well, and | cannot say that
I'm surprised at Mr.. Larguier's Their
mometer becoming demoralized and
bewildered.
There has been the usual discussion
and t1utter about the seashOre and
watering places generally, and it has
ended as usual by everybody staying
at home, but give me home every
time in summer, where you can do as
you please, and dress as you please,
for it is too hot to think of the pro-
prieties.
The fish bite splendidly now but
we miss Mr.. Montan's annual excur-
sion picnic, and the consequence is
it is fearfully dull and the only relief
is occasionally a bit of gossip or scan
dial about your neighbors which is
enjoyed to the fullest, secretly. Of
COURSE.
Oh! | came near forgetting to men
ton the inevitable crop, and that
would never do. Some few of the IA
yOred ones have had rain. but as
general thing the crops are very much
in need of it. Afte1 all the talk about
the stubble it is "panning out" very
well. The cotton is not as advanced
as usual at this season.
You can'timagine how Independent
we have become of fashions, dictates
and the world generally, since our Sc
clusion. Would You believe it ! !

Cheering Prospects.


The owners of timbered lands in our

Of the numerous iron-furnaces on Cripple
Creek and in the lower end Of the county
are experiencing great benefit from the Ic-
cent revival in the iron trade and the rival
~ nowse going on among furuace-men to
supply the lively demand for mineral pro-
ducts. Contracts have been made for tim
Der at rates ranging from 40 cents TO 81
per cord standing, accoi ding to dis
lance and accessibility, the former price
being paid for wood situate several miles
from The furnace TO be supplied. We have
heard OF one instance in which S3j per acre
was paid for body OF tinibeIed land, and
$50 for another boundary OF 100 acres by
Que company, aud that another company
has contracted for the timber on 500 acres
seven or eight miles distant from their fur.
mace at SI2 acre, or $4,000 for the boundary.
In all these eases the contracts are for the
the timber alone, The title 10 the land being
retained by the owner.
From this il will be seen that there is 4
boom not cDly ia iron, but in timber Us well,
and some idea can be formed Of the extern

Mr.. CARPENTERS Successor.

The Washington Republicdn OF yester'
day paper edited by Mr.. GoRHAM, The
Repubiican candidate for Secretary Of the
next senate-has the following paragraph !:
III is understood that The Legislature Of
Wisconsin was notified OF senator Catpen-
ter's death last night. Under the law OF
Congress bis successor cannot be regularly
elected until March Sth. The~uggestiOn
has been made that the legislature adjourn
after indicating ITS preference for senator
and hermit the Governor 10 appoint sue
cesSor. The question might alise. however,
as TO the legality OF such appointment and
the action by the Legislature"
1t would not be much OF question. The
vacancy has already happened. Ii happen.
ed during the session Of the Legislature
and, as the act OF Congress provides that
vacancy thus happening shall he filled in a
certain way, and at a certain tine, it will
be simply impossible for the Legislature TO
shirk lis duty. Ii must proceed, as the law
provides, TO elect Mr.. CARPENTERS success
sor on the second Tuesday after receiving
notice Of his death. That second Tuesday
will be the 9Th day OF March.
II the Legislature had adjourned but one
minute before Mr.. CARPENTERS death Oc
cured. the Governor Of Wisconsin would
have had the light to appoint temporary
successor. But this right he cannot now
acquire In any way. The law is imperative
that a. vacancy happening during the sea
sion Of a Legislature shall be filed by The
Legislature.
But that is not ALL ii the Legislature Of
Wisconsin were to adjourn without per
forming It's duty in this matter, the Cover
nor would still fail TO have acquired thu
right to appoint Mr.. CARPENTERS successor
The only power the Governor of STATE
has for appointing a United States senator
is derived from the following clause OF tht
Federal Constitution
"If uacdncieS happen fin the Unilet
States Senatel, by resignation or otherwise
during the recess Of the Legislature OF any
State. The Executive thereof may make TEN
porary appointments until the next meetln!
Of the Legislature, which shall then ill sucl
vacancies"
This vacancy did not happen during " tn
recess Of the Legislature" but during it
session, and, therefore, the language Of tn
Federal Constitution itself precludes th
idea that the Governor can ill it. He ca
fill no vacancy except such as occur durin
the recess Of the Legislature.
