So be and FKaglbbona set their heads together to
give the Court an agreeable surprise when he
should appear. Paddy thought a few new prafr
would be the saving of him; while Johnaing, Ilka
true Southern lad. suggested an old-fa*hioued ginger-
cake, with lots of molasses in it. Thh point we* set
tled, and the cake brought to. But to Johnson and
Pat's infinite disgust bis Honor refused to even taste
it This set the two back a peg, but did not interfere
with the regular proceedings. The book ws* opened,
and Johnson, with his mouth crammed full with his
cake, called out the name of
J. M- TOWNSEND.
Mr. T. plead guilty to the chaige of druuk aud dis
orderly, and paid hla $10 coupon.
The case against
tr. r. chisolm
tec disorderly oooduot and quarreling was dismissed.
t. S. WELLS
was charged with selling liquor in less quantities
than one quart without the necessary license. Sue
Thompson and Addis Thompson, two beautiful spe
cimens, were witnesses. Mr. Wells swore that he
never did sell liquor that way. The Mayor waa In
doubt. He thought perhaps Wells Intended a bottle
aa bolding a quart, whan perhaps it did not If he
caught a man using long neck bottles, aud bottles
which bulge up at the bottom which look aa though
they might hold a quart, but really not more than
unount, he would everlastingly go for that
dealer. He should not be swindling hla customers
that way, and breaking down honest men who paid
1800 for lioenae. He gave a tough lecture on tills
point, and wound up by fining Mr. Weils $10 aud
wta.
BEES AMD WHISKY MIXED.
George Freedland was charged with being drunk
and disorderly. He plead guilty to the drunk, but
said bo did not know whether be waa disorderly or
not. The Mayor asked him if It waa beer he had
drank, and George told him It waa a little of both,
and his Honor was not surprised at hla not knowing
whether he was disorderly or not. or anything else.
the polioeman said George waa Just drunk, he
got off with a ▼ and oosta. That waa pretty heavy
tbe poor fellow, and he squirmed considerably
when it waa announoed. He says: "Look here.
Judge. 1st me off with costs, won’t you? please."
The Judge smiled at George'a anxiety, but he could'ot
swindle tbs city Improvements out of that much •
aud the last we saw of George he had company
and going towards the calaboose.
MKT KB CLARKE
took it into his hand to have some tan, and he visted
noted and disrespectable place In thla city for that
purpose. Peter, of course, was drunk, and conse
quently didn’t stand muohupon ceremonies,but went
aud made himself at home. He entered a room,
broke the furniture, tore up the carpet, slapped one
of the girls a-whlrlln, and was cock of the walk, un
til a polioeman called to to aee him. Peter had bar
ricaded the door with the bed, and put a large trunk
on top of that, and then braced himself for a
death struggle. Ha was a regular Commun
ist; but the officer out-pushed Peter, and bore him
off to triumph. The Court thought, as long
he oould not have him shot, that the next thing
to it eras to fine him $10 and costa. Tbeu Peter’s

Habersham didn’t care a d—n whether he paid him

under the ground, when Tbgraham told him he
would do the mashing. Anyway, alter a long lec
ture, the Court put* the beer on Habersham.
Hla Honor gave him e long and fatherly lecture upon
the obligation of paying debts, and illustrated it by
relating a side-splitting anecdote of the Irishman
and the ferryman. Everybody wanted to laugh, but
Johnson wouldn’t let them. That waa mean In John-

The Grasd Jury Presentments.
In The Sum of yesterday morning were published
the Preaeutuieiita of the Grand Jury for the term of
the Court Just closed. The Jury has done its duty
well. It has been vigilant and energetic to looking
after offenders, and has succeeded in relieving the
city of a great many nuisances. The Jurors did no
move than their duty, but they did that honestly,
fearlessly, conacientlonely and without malice or de_
aim to persecute anyone. Each Rian appears to
heve, for the time, considered himself e special cus.
todian of the law and waa determined to «oe it tally
vindicated.
With such Jurors for the inquest and a Judge like
Hopkius on the bench, offenders will have a bard
time to escape without punishment
Some time ego two city barbers had a falling out
aud to settle the thing they went to a quiet place
outside the city limits end took an old fashioned
fiat and skull set-to. One of them, Dick Huff, came
tack most awfully licked by his opponent., George
Valentine. A friend of Dick's, named Jim Goodrich,
took up the unfinished Job, aud be being a man of
honor, proposed to George to settle in the manner
usual among gentlemen. The challenge was accep
ted, weapons chosen, time, place and all. Yesterday
morning Valentine and his friend were on the West
point train bound for the Alabama line. The train
waaBkmt starting and yet the other perty did not
appear, end Valentine's friend convinced him that
Goodrich had backed out So they got off, and no
doubt some "posting” will appear shortly.
We understand that the reason Goodrich did not
> waa that his friends had convlnoed him that Val
entine waa not going. At any rate a fearful amount
of blood might have been shed on the classic fields
of Alabama, which would have made our neighbors
the line very mad.

BEPOET or COMMITTEES.
Now came the fun. The Mitchell Street extension
muddle was boldly broached.
Alderman Cassln read a report recommending the
removal of the obstructions and opening the street
Before one man could get hia motion heard, two or
three others were moving tor something else. The
Mayor had been enjoined.
A rcsolutlou instructing the City Attorney to dls’
solve the injunction was passed.
Dashes were made here and there at the Marshal
and Oity Surveyor, greatly to the discomfort ot those
officers. „
Resolutions begging their pardons for what they
had said about them at the last meeting were i
nately passed aud rescinded, and to this minute those
jffloera do not clearly understand whether they rest
under a censure or not.
Then Alderman McLendou reported on streets.—
None of which gave universal satisfaction. Cute and
thrusts were handed In right and left The Oouucll-
meu came there in a bad humor—opened the show
bad humor, and displyed it all the way through.
From the fiunlliarity of epithets used, a looker-on
might suppose they were very well acquainted with
mother, or at least wasn't afraid of each other.
Horn# esaay to be the leading spirits in council said

let off gas. If a motion waa put to the house before
his Honor would call the yeaa and nays, a half doxan
other moves would be made, and the last man that
got hla My in, that would be acted.on. In this way
confusion would get worse confounded, when a
brushing out would be done, and the wrangle begun
again. All this tlrao the presiding offloer would look
i bewildered amazement at the exploits going on
before, without one word of command, or the faintest
attempt at producing order.
The amount of petitions for building drains and
sewers were Innumerable. Every man who bad a
ditch in bis neighborhood wanted a sewer built It
made no difference where be lived or how far out of
town, he had to be attended to.
Alderman Cassln wanted all the money that could
be spared for that purpose, to be applied in the heart
of the city. Sensible.
Mr. Ormond wanted Washington street opened up
as far as his residence. He would give the land for
that purpose. It waa proven to bee road through his
plantation that be wanted worked. Fowler said after
they got through working the streets then he was
willing to go out and work on the plantations.
A committee got hold of this. Everything is re
ferred to a committee; and the subsequent meeting
when these committees report, there ere always two,
and the minority report generally wins the point
This ie a noticeable feature.
A motion to. reconsider the Mitchell street business
as lost
Tho Cemetery fence waa reported In a dilapidated
condition, and the Committee on the Cemetery waa
Instructed to receive sealed proposals for the erection
f a new fence.
Alderman Casein, to the last could not restrain a
penchant for making a speech. He attempted to re-
opeu the old wounds about Mitchell street There
be sonic honey where the bees fly around so
much. Who can tell ?
Various street projects were proposed, discussed
and at last would get so mixed up that they were lost
i the confusion.
Alderman Wells wanted to work ont Foundry
Street, dig down a hill, and sell the unoccupied res
ents te in tho neighborhood of the old magazine.—
About one aud a half acres there belong to the city.
Lowry said it took two mules, a nigger and a migh
ty substantial wagon, to haul three kegs of powder
from the magazine.
Rioe already had a street nearly completed to the
magazine, and didn't want Wells’ street opened nor
his hill cut down.
long, running and unintelligible debate took
place about cutting Mitchell—raising Peters e few
feet, and making the paths straight for Church-goers
the neighborhood of the Junction of those thor
oughfare*.
Then the everlasting Mitchell Street case would
ime up. But down it would go. There is some
thing rotten in that street Who can tell ?
The Mayor was instructed to appoint fire mem
bers of Council to represent the city’s stock In the
annual meeting of the stockholders of the Georgia
Wostern Railroad, which comes off In July.
The Finance Committee reported $747.71 as the
amount paid out thia week. This was the healthiest
sign we saw in the whole thing.
The most dignified member we saw last night was
Alderman Graham. He spake never a word, thereby
evincing a sound Judgment. The next moat dignl-
fldeetman was Grubb; bo said two words. The
third on the Iih$ was Schneider. He seconded one
motion, and as no attention was paid to it, he quit.
These three members have the thanks of the citizens
for being mute. If they said nothing good, they
have the aatiafection of knowing that they said noth
ing—which is more than the rest of them can My.
Take it all together, If the Council did any Impor

thrown into the creek, which was swollen
by recent heavy rains to the depth of fif
teen feet. The fireman being unable to
extricate himself, was instantly killed.
The engineer received severe injuries,
and the baggage master was badly hart.
Among the passengers injured was a
lady, who had two ribs broken, besides
other, and it is feared fatal injuries. She
is in a critical condition. Several other
passengers received severe bruises, but
none of a fatal character. The oulvert

which caused it to sink nnder the weight
of the train.

Washington, June 23.—The testimony
before the Kn-Klnx Committee to-day
waa the most damaging to the oonspira-
ton yet given. Aa it now stands, the
Democrats have the advantage, and the
Radical member* will probably coll new
witnesses.
Mr. Beck of Kentnoky thinks the in
vestigation has been a decided advantage
to the Democrat* and the States assailed
by the Radioala.
When -the Prerideet ordered the Sec
retary to fane instructions to Department
Commanders to assist in the oivu author
ities in the Southern States, in putting
down the Kn-Klux or like disturbances,
it wm expected that instructions would
also be sent to the U. 8. District Attor
neys and Mar-hols, but the Attorney Gen-
eral Maned this till such time aa ia Rio
a the condition of aflain would
it. Mr. Akerman say* he is a
a, and thinks he knows l>est how
to deal with the people of that section,
and does not believe in precipitating mat-
ten; oonseqently, no insttrnctions of any
kind heve been issued by him.
Gen. Forredt will be examined on Mon
day. He left for New York last night.
Before leaving he was "interviewed,” and
was asked:
“What then, in yonr opinion, is the
cause of so many acts of violence being
reported, and telegraphed North as Ku-
Klux outrages ?"
To this he replied as follows: “It may
arise from various causes. My theory
however is, that a class of men who have
not the wellfare of the South at heart,
came among them from tbe North; and
knowing that the political rights of many
of the Southern people are denied them,
they have operated with negroes' to se
cure their votes, to elevate them to posi
tions of trust and responsibility. Secret
leagues have been formed, and incendi
ary speeohea, calculated to do irreparable
injury are made. The employer is de
nied of the services which are hia dues,
from his paid laborers, m they flock to
these leagues aud are taught insubordi
nation. The result ie that among the
substantial citizens of any section of
oountry, where these men operate, they
are socially ostracised. They secure lu
crative offices and defraud the people,
and in all their sets seemingly endeavor
to exoite public opinion against them.
“As a natural consequence, at inter
vals, the indignation, probably of an in
dividual, may be aroused, and an indi
vidual assault made, which is soon mag
nified into a Ku-Klox outrage.
“Now, I do not pretend to deny that
in some instances men have been killed—
not indiscriminately nlanghtered. The
same motive that impels a man to kill his
brother in New York, Msssachusetts or
Maine, applies as well in Alabama, North
Carolina or Tennessee—the difference
being tbai in tbe latter States tbe victim
by hui conduct, tends to aggravate the
murderer to suoh bloody work. The cases
are few, but of course they are credited
as beiDg the work of the Ku-Klnx, and
hence, public opinion North is directed
against the whole Sooth as blood-thirsty
people.
Again, bad men come South with no
fixed purpose in view, they seem to float
along, alike Mr. Micawber, waiting for
something to turn np. In their idleness,
they operate among the negroes, excite
their superstitious feelings against their
employers, and osuae a general stagnation
in agricultural pursuits, i
When remonstrated with for such con-
dnet, instead of allowing the planter to
peacefully pursue the even tenor of .his
way, they attempt to revive old sores, and
mako assertions calculated to exoite anger
and bad feeling.
The result may be that snch men
are ordered to leave or pursue some
vocation—just the same as a
vagrant may be locked np in Washington,
or a suspicious cuaraoter ordered out of
it. This, I presume, ia at once called a
Kn-Klux outrage.
No Northern man, settling in the
South, with a fixed purpose of develop
ing its resources, would be molested,
even though he entertained strong Radi
cal opinions; ou the contrary, he would
lie welcomed. Let the people bnt know
that he comes to be one of them, that
he comes to live among them,
and by his labor or means to bnild np the
waste places. I care not what his poli
tics may be, he would be gladly received
and ever assisted by tbe Southern people.
He said he believed be was charged with
organizing bands of Kn-Klux among tbe
men employed in the construction of a-
railrood from Selma, Ala., to Memphis,
Tenn., and for which he had been sum
moned to answer before the Outrage Com
miltee, bnt the oharge was so absurd that
I often wonder who could have furnished
such information, or whose brain could
bave conoeived it I am constructing a
road from Selma to Memphis, and em
ploy large numbers of laborers. Upon
assuming the work I gave special instruc
tions to those under me in authority that
whoever were in charge of obtaining me
chanics, workmen, <Sre., nnder no consid
eration to allow politics to b& a barrier to
the employment of any man; on the con
trary, to secure good workmen, be they
white or black. As to forming bands of
Ku-Klnx among them, it waa too ridicu
lous to entertain a moment. Why, I re
ally believe that were a vote token to-day
among those workmen nnder me in the
construction of that enterprise, there
wonld he fonnd three Repnblican votes
to one Democratic. Tbe people of the
South had accepted the situation, and
were as orderly and law-abiding a people
as can be found in any section of the
country.
The Proposed Betrothal of Fred.
Grant and Princess Beatrice.
Washington Special to the New York World.
Letters received here from England
put tlie extraordinary question seriously
whether a marriage between the son of
Pesident Grant and the Princess Beatrice
of England might not be so arranged as
to secure the entente cordiale between the
two countries. The queen has origina
ted a proposition, just as she did that for
the marriage of her daughter Louise to
the Marquis of Lome. Tlie young prin
cess is only fourteen years of age, and the
queen's idea is on the re-election of res
ident Grant and the beginning of his
second term, 1873, the nuptials be solem
nized. Young Mr. Grant would then be
adopted as a British subject, and imme
diately be appointed Viceroy of the Do
minion of Canada.
It is her majesty’s belief that in this
way the feelings of the three countries
of America, Canada and Great Britain
oould be harmonized as closely as their
interests.
The letters which oommunicate this
surprising proposition are written in per
fect good faith, and by persons of the
highest position in Great Britaiu. One
of them asserts that the idea really came
from Mr. Seward, bv whom it was sng-
geeted to the Earl of Mayo in Indift, and
bv the earl then taken up and commu
nicated to the queen through one of his
lordship’s friends, Lady Waterpark, a
lady in waiting upon her majesty.
It is also stated that the matter was in
trusted to the London correspondent of a
Radical journal of New York, who left
London suddenly for New York, about a
month ago, commissioned to sound the
President upon the subject This corres
pondent assured the queen’s ministers
that the re-election of President Grant
was absolutely certain, aud thus contrib
uted mainly to give them confidence in
the scheme. But it may be considered
oertain that he has opened negotiations
on the subject with the Dent family and
with Mrs. Grant.
The official vote in West Virginia on

chising clause, was as follows: for ratifi

Editor of the Suit : A writor who
signs himself “Walter,” in giving au
account of the commencement exer
cises of the Southern Masonic Female
College, in this morning’s issue of the
Sry, sayB it is reported that the
.ermon of Dr. Wills was “dis
figured by uncharitable remarks
about another denomination of Chris
tians, numbering the greatest mein-
ter C. Beeka, of this city, a graduate of “c; ‘‘f 7 i , i ,
Franklin College, and, by the way, one , ’crsbip of all the Christian world, and
of the most promising young men in the (Wnjciiwrly tor th& total
State, of hia age, will deliver an address. ' bstinence ot its ministers from all
Thia will be an interesting feature in tbe -ctarian attacks of this character.”
’-.'lie writer of this heard tho sermon
in question, and knows it to have been
characterized, in an eminent degree,
by broad and liberal views in refer
ence to Christian union and com
munion—the very opposite of what
vas reported to your correspond
ent. A distinguished minister, be
longing to a denomination dif
ferent from that to which Dr.
W. is attached, in speaking of
the sermon remarked, if the world
I? ever converted, it will be when the
h rge hearted, catholic views of that
si rmon are adopted.” Dr. Wills was
placed at the head of the institution
o\er which lie now presides, partly
because of the liberality of his views
and the Christian charity which has
always marked Ilia deportment in his
intercourse with other denominations.
Doubtless the Doctor’s friends will
be surprised to hear of this alleged
“ new departure.”
I am well acquainted with the
members of the Boards of Trustees
and Instruction of the Southern Ma
sonic Female College, and feel assur
ed that I shall have their thanks for
correcting this unjust report against
one who tvas their guest, and who
was rendering an important public
service at their invitation.

programme.
JUDGE JAMES JACKSON,
of Macon, on Wednesday, will deliver
tbe literary address. Tbe universal pop
ularity of the speaker, together, with
his known ability as a public func
tionary, And literary caste of mind, will
have a tendency to draw a large crowd.
Mr. Niles has been exceedingly fortunate,
in being able to procure the services of
g entlemen every way so well quali-
ed to discharge the duties aosigued
them in the order of the exercises for
the week.
The concert on Wednesday night, will
doubtless be a brilliant affair, as no tabor
or pains has been spared to make the ex
ercises in this particular department a
success. Prof. Daneberg has proven
himself a most excellent teacher, and is
universally popular with his pupils.
Altogether, we anticipate for our
friends in the city, and the large number
expected from a distance, a week of pleas
ure. We have every reason to believe
that everything that can be, will be
done to contribute to the enjoyment of
the occasion.—Middle Georgian.
A Remarkable Story.
Wc find the following in the Rich
mond Dispatch of (lie 21st:
’ After the first battle of Manassas,
Janies A. Burton, of Cobb county,
Ga., Iielonging to Capt King’s com
pany, Seventh Georgia regiment, was
brought to Bellevue Hospital with a
rifle-ball wound in the centre of his
forehead. He seemed perfectly well,
walking about as if nothing was the
matter. 1 procured for him a home
in a private family, where, on the
third or fourth day afterwards, the
ball, which had lodged between the
skull and the lining of the brain, by
suppuration reached and rested on
the brain, producing spasms and
deatli in a short time.
Before I left him on the day of bis
arrival in Richmond, lie told*me he
was 27 years old and his wife 22 years
old; that they had fourteen children—
nine boys and five girls; that his wife
had twins six times; that eleven of
them were going to school. When
lie left home all were alive; and not
one of his children, his wife, or him
self, had ever had three days sick
ness since their marriage. He was a
fine-looking man, six feet one inch
high, and weighed 180 pounds; that
1k* was the smallest of six brothers,
and that his parents raised six boys
and twenty-one girls. This state
ment was made in a calm, modest
manner, which seemed characteristic
of the man, in the presence of myself
and the Rev. 1*. B. Price, of which I
made a note at the time, and to-day,
by accident, came across and now give
it to the public. OBSERVER.
Curious Accident to a Canal
Boat.
New York, June 21.—Several morn
ing papers publish the following : Mon
day morning, about 10 o’clock, the dri
ver of a canal boat, while crossing Seven
Mile Level, between New Village and
Broadway, in Morris county, New Jersey,
heard an unusual, rumbling noise, like
that of mutfiiHl thunder, nna noticed the
waters of the canal disappearing rapidly.
In a short space of time his boat was left
high and dry on tho empty bed of the
canal The water in the canal for the
distance of one mile and a half had dis
appeared, leaving a cavity of forty by
fifty feet in width. No outlet for water
haa been discovered. It will probably
cost the Canal Company $10,000 to de
fray the expenses of this interruption in
tlieir business.
It has now been definitely ascertained
that the wretch who set fire to the col
lections at the Louvre, was Citoyen Na-
pias Piquet. This individual was seen
to go around the streets, with uplifted
cane, shouting at aud instigating his
fiendish accomplices to their work of des
truction, and sometimes striking at them
like a maniac, os ho was. His plan seems
to have been to destroy the whole of the
first nrrondissement, and he did his best
to faithfully accomplish it With his
u hands he set fire to the library of the
Louvre, and to the Palais Royal, and was
in the act of inciting his companions to
destroy the shops of the Louvre, when
he was seized by some of the troops aud
shot on the spot in the presence of his
daughter, who was accompanying him.
His dying words were a regret that he had
not time to accomplish his hellish de
signs; and on his body was found the bill
for his breakfast, which had not yet been
paid, and amounted to no less than fifty-
seven francs.
We&deU Phillips says; “If the Repub
licans arc to take a new departure from
Grant—the real meaning and intent of
the Greeley movement—we trust it will
be to some one higher up, not down
ward to tho lower level of Mr. Greeley’s
platform.”
There are now 115 lodges of Good
Templars in Georgia.

Senator Morton and tlie State
Department.
The Washington correspondent of
ihe Cincinnati Enquirer writes, June
20: “ >Senator Morton’s presence at
Ixmg Branch with the President, and
the announced fact that he will ac-
i ompany the Executive to tlie Pacific
.oast, are looked upon in political
and official circles here ns significant
circumstances, in view of the grasp
and influence tho Indiana Senator
has upon the President. Morton, it
is well known, has a large number of
axes to grind, and hence his adhesion
to the person of Gen. Grant, for
whom he cares nothing, except to the
extent to which lie may make use of
him lor his own selfish ends. It is
also well known thatfor purposes best
known to himself, Morton has been
playing a sort of see-saw between the
New York Senators, with advantage
to himself and his friends aud sup
porters. The belief is gaining
strength that Morton wants, and has
demanded, the State Department
portfolio; and as there does not seem
to be much doubt that Mr. Fish will
carry out his long-cherished desire to
retire, there is likely to be a vacancy
in the Senatorial representation from
Indiana and a new Secretary of
State at a very early day.”
A colony of 1,000 Alsatians is ex
pected to settle near the City of Mex
ico. These people don’t like their
new German rulers, and so intend to
try life in Mexico. Peace go witli
them, for certainly they will not find
it where they are going.
A dispatch from Rochester, New
York, dated 20th, says:
A collision occurred about four
o'clock this morning on the New
Central Railroad, at Fairpoint sta
tion, between a freight train and an
express freight and accommodation
train, both headed west. A passen-
geu named Cyrus Andrews, of Savan
nah had a leg broken, aud it was sub
sequently amputated.
