Hon. Johnso* ha* dUel*d Mraathlaf o, the kind the day before, and set hla mind to work to get tip something that hla Honor's dull appetite would crave—something that would lay on his stoi 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 blood ris. He thanked the Court for dolug him thut The Court told him he waa welcome aud would al ways be pleased to serve in that upsnnor whenever be called, Ac., Ac. But Pete was so overpowering to bis thanks, and ha kept on talking and pointing hla bis Anger and thanking the Judge, that he got that old gentleman's Irish np, and he called Pete back and gave him fifteen day's Imprisonment in the cal aboose for contempt This cooled him off, and be fore hla time ia out he will be cooler than he waa yesterday In Court INOEAHAM HABERSHAM owed another nigger 80 oenta for drayage and would not pay him.

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- oo.

T. C. Matson, Live Auctioneer, House No. 2, DeGivo’s Opera House. 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. Mr. Kchol'i enlargement. It will be seen by reference to our advertising columns that 8. A. Echols has associated with him. telf In business Mr. J. B. Wilson, late of Savannah, Georgia.

The petition waa refs The "Dear Creatures’* addressed a petition to hla Honor, praying him to have Forrest Avenue put in such a condition aa to be passable. A motion to fer the whole matter to hla Honor, failed. It was forwards referred to the Street Committee. 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 the most ridiculous things, and made the m<» and objected to the most meaurea. Anything 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 tant business laxt night, we failed to get the "grist" of It Water Works wasn’t mentioned. Nothing hut sew- rt and drains, all of which were referred to the Htree-Committee, end as one member intimated, they were "gone where the woodbine," Aa, only so far as It affects the personal property of the Chair man.

To spare Canrobert, who was principal in stigator of the deatmetion of the Ven- dome, would be to compromise with orime, which has excited the indigna tion of the civilized world. To permit Roohefort to escape justice for innumera ble political intrigues, would be equally dangerous.

A large number of prisoners and Com munists have been taken to Fontaine biaeu for trial. The Minister of the Interior, in an swer to a question relative to Govern ment intentions toward Paris, and tho probable duration of the state of seige, stated that the government would not raise the siege of Paris at present, and re fused to allow the teaching of any insur rectionary or inflammatory dootrines, such as were calculated to prolong the spirit of rebellion in tbe city and retard the restoration of peace and civil govern ment.

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 the “Flick amendment,” which strikes from the State Constitution the disfran chising clause, was as follows: for ratifi cation, 23,546; against, 6,326; majority for ratification, IT,223. One of the Siamese twins has a deaf and-dumb daughter at the Institution for the Deaf, Dumb and Blind in Raleigh, North Carolina, and it is said that she is one of the brightest pupils at the iusti tifion.

On Monday the examination of the college classes begins. Tuesday night the two literary societies will hold their anniversary meeting, on which occasion Mr. A. R.

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.

' 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.

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. <TI)C CitH 13nbgct. tar AT KUHN & SMITH’S popular Gallery aru fliiuthol ivory day aomo ot the flnext plcrures ever made in the State.

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.
