Now, that wo have accomplished a

is finishod. No; our work is bnt just be
gun. The labor of mercy never ceases;
sod the man wbo would stand still while
duty colled him forward, would bo un
worthy a public position.
On examining the situation yesterday,
we were forcibly impressed by seeing his
Honor toddling along the street, with
tho flesh of a Fallst*f and tho face of on
angel. To be stopt is, no doubt, desired
by some people; but every ono seems to
agree that his Honor is altogether too
stoat for this hot August weather. It
deprives him of that easy locomotion so
desirable in a model Mayor, renders him
cumbrous to bimself, and enduDgera the
City Hall by his exceeding great weight.
Among the many remedies proposed for
the eradiaation of this disposition to
monopolize spaco on the part of his Hon
or, was the Banting system. It is well
known that her Brittantio Majesty re
ceived great benefit from this system,
and has become genteelly tbin; and if we
oonld only induce onr beloved Mayor to
try it, though bo is unfortunately neither
a King nor a Queen, yet wo believe ho
would bo thinned out about as complete
ly as Dr. Alexander could wish. John
son seemed to be emphatic in the opinion
that his Honor had quit talking simply
because his fat tongue could not find
room in which to revolve. We sincerely
hope his Honor will accept tho Banting
system.
There nro indications of mutiny among
the older calaboose buzzards. They were
all finod $10 and costsf and his Honor
has let oIT quite a number thb last day or
two for $5. They insist that ono voter
b as good as another; nnd if his Honor
thinks ha can secure the $5 votes, he may
bet his old hat on losing the $10 ones.
Wc, ourselves, tliiuk that lib Honor
should not go book on thoso old wards
of tlio eity "dry so.” nis Honor's first
laurels wero won from his conflicts with
those men, and ho owes them parental
protection.

Below will be found a comparative
statement of tho aggregate tax returns of
1871 and 1870. It will boseen that in the
aggregate the increase has reaehed
$3,003,010, but it b not by any means
near the mark. To illustrate how these
returns are made, it will bo soon that the
value of planters and mechanical imple
ments for 1870 was retumad at $14,900;
while in 1871, it is returned ut $10,000, a
decrease of $4,500. Now no one will at
tempt to say that thb return b correct.
It b a well known fact that large aud cx-
tcusivo additions have boon made to near
ly every plantation withiu tlio past year,
and that if tho returned value had been
double that of 1970, it would havo been
near tbe mark. As a curious item it may
noticed that while 1C billiard tables were
returned in 1870, but 0 wero returned in
1871. About two-thirds of the aggregate
increase has been in city property.

Editor* Sun: Wo mippoBc Aurora
itiuzlitd la-r lingers last night, for iu-
stead of tl»ir usual crimson, rosy hue
they were black as chonv. With the
trembling dawn arose a lowering cloud
(of African negroes) that for a while
threatened entirely to obscure or ab
sorb tho light of the “glorious orb of
day.” The aspect j^ecamc more
threatening, and although it did not
rain, it reigned throughout the live
long day, sweeping as a torrent
through the populous streets.
Commencement Day seems to be
the signal for a convocation of negroes
for many miles around Athens. And
they come with no other ostensible
purpose than to pave the streets with
ebon and illumine the dark corners
of Atheus with the light—of their
countenances.

man, Macon.
The Latin Salutatory by t Mr.
Yonge, was delivered with great pro
priety to the Faculty, Trustees aud
audience. Tho public, we hope, will
excuse us from criticising tho senti
ment—we have forgotten how to speak
Latin.
THE GREATEST AltT,
by Mr. ltrookes, was decidedly an art-
istic speech, replete with many art-
ful expressions on many different
arts. From art in Eden lie enumerat
ed many others, (he mariners art, art
of printing, sculptors, &c., but award
ed the palm to -the art of prinlin
the press. Ilo compared a picture
with a jingo from the jiress and dis
covered a thousand beauties in the
latter unknown to the former.
THE POLITICAL AND LEGAL COX
COMB,
by Mr. Gamble, was a happy ming
ling of ridicule and eulogy on those of
the legal profession. It was the very
sjTceeh for the occasion, since the
thoughts of all young men seem to
drift to the Law as the ultima static of
worldly luxury and fame.
FIVE MIXVTES,
by Mr. Glenn, was a very popular ef
fort at humorous invective against
the limit of five minutes prescribed
by the Faculty in which to deliver
tlio speeches. Mr. G. commenced by
saying that he did not havo time to
say, Ladies and gentlemen. lie in
voiced the spirits of all orators, living
and dead, to rally to his sujiport in
the trying hour. Tlio expectations
of the Seniors were raised to the
highest degree, fully assured that
they might havo an hour iu whioli to
make au exhibit of tho acoumnlatcd
lore of ages; but hark! there conies a
voice crying like one in the wilder
ness, “Five minutes! Five minutes!”
(Laughter.) Aud here, after four
years of industrious study, they, with
out ceremony, wore to he ft tirial out
of College in Jive minutes. It was
a happy effort, and won tho attention
of the audience.
ANTiiuoros,
by Mr. Hand, was simply an elegant
recital of tho triumjihs of great men
in science, law, literature, art, &e.—
It was a finishod essay.
toe world's drama,
by Mr. Newton, traced the world’s
history from the fall of man, in n
manner that secured the attention of
the audience. The address was well
written and us well delivered.
IT MOVES FOB ALL THAT,
n quotation fromGallilco, when com-
pelled to deny the rotation of the
earth before a Roman inquisition, was
an exhortation for all to abide* by
principle, and embrace the right
though tho heavens fall.
NOW AND THEN
was an antithesis between the present
and past. Those two .words, Mr.
Warren said, were suggestive of vol
umes of thought conched in a nut
shell.
THE REAL AND TIIE IDEAL.
Was a pretty address, abounding in
many artistic beauties suggested by a
comparison of the ideal and real.
THE VALEDICTORY TO THE TRUSTEES
AND FA (CLTY,
llv Mr. Uriggs (shares the 1st honor)
was a brief farewell to the guardians
nnd instructors of his Alma Mater.
Having no other audience than that
of the grandees of tbo University,
It was not au address of public inter
est
THE VALEDIOTOBY TO TOE AUDIENCE,
By Mr. G. A. IIowclI, of Valdosta,
was a most touching farewell. Its
elegant simplicity, earnest manner,
and sjiirit of gratitude, instantly won
the attention of the audience, bun
ilreds of whom were the personal
friends of this most exemplary and
promising graduate. Mr. Howell
shares the First Honor,’ and, we
understand, deserves this distinction,
not only in his studies, bnt in
everything that has ever engaged his
attention.
THE VALEDICTORY TO THE CLASS
was a farewell iu which was infused
some sound philosophy, such only as
could emanate from Mr. Murphey,uni
vorsally admitted to be the first in his
class, not only in attainments, but in
natural ability as a student, writer
and orator. Mr.Jtfurphey, we under
stand, goes to the University of Vir
giuia next term to study law and
modern languages.
After this address
DR. MILLER,
of Atlanta, was introduced to the au
dience. As a preliminary to deliver
ing the medals, he addressed the au
dience and candidates for tho prizes
on the nature and merits of clo
queucc. Its purjioso was to influence
the opinions of men. Tho shorter
the orator’s attempt, the greater the
success, if the elucidation is jicrfectly
made. lie instanced Mirabeau’s one
minute sjieech iu the General Assem
bly of France, wnich changed the fate
of an Empire and shook the thrones
of the \Vorhl. Tho “five minutes’'
law was, iu his extimation, an admi
rable regulation for the relief of
juries, aud Sabbath congregations;
and he hojjed for the sake of every
pretty lady’s comfort and peace of
mind, that every moon-stricken lover
would abide the dictates of so whole
some a regulation.
During the address considerable
confusion was produced by tho fall
ing of somo plastering on tho heads
of a few unfortunate individuals. The
Doctor staled that ho wished it dis
tinctly understood, that the falling
walls was not the result of his over
powering eloquence, but really it re
mains a mooted point yet.
He then delivered to Mr. J. S.
Davis, of Albany, a medal as the best
tSojihomorc dcclaimcr; a medal for
the best essay, to Mr. W. A. Blount,
of Florida; and to Mr. J. E. Hart-
ridge, of Florida, a medal for the
best essay from tho Sophomore class,
awarded by a committee of the facul
ty on the merits of tho essays irresjiec
tive of their authors.
THE DISTINCTIONS
Of the Freshman and Sophomore
classes were then read out by Prof.
Waddell. Certificates of merit were
awarded to thoso who had completed
satisfactorily tho course of Junior
studies; certificates of proficiency
were delivered to graduates
German and French; the degree of
A. B. was conferred on the members
of tho graduating class; the degree
of Bachelor of Law on the graduates
of the Law Department, aud the de
gree of 0. E. on the graduates of the
Civil Engineering school.
On Messrs. W. B. Hill, of Macon,
W. Dessau, of Macon, ami J. B. B.
Smith, of Atlanta, wero conferred tho
degree of Master of Arts, in conside
ration of their proficiency in a pre
scribed course in French aud Ger
man, and other departments of tho
University. These gentlemen were
the first applicants for the degree of
A. M., under the regulations which
requires students to comply with a
jiivseribod curriculum of study at tho
University. It is remarkable that
they were all “Honor men'’ of the
class of 1870.
THE ALUMNI HOP,
is another and more siguificaht title
for a Commencement Ball. A very
select comjiany assembled at Don
preo’s Hall, in response to invitations
by the managers.
Having danced until the“wee hours
of morn” the night -previous, the de
votees of Terpsichore with much
moderation, retired about 2 o’clock in
the moruiug.
During the evening the Dcmosthc
ncan and Phi Kapjia societies had
SOCIAL REUNIONS
in their resjx-ctive halls.
The commencement was one oWhc
most brilliant on record, and wc
think will give the University au ad
ditional imjietus to the career so loug
sustained by somo of the most illus
trious men of this continent. But of
this wc will say More Anon.
Card from Gen. Gordon.
Wasuinoton, D. C., July 28, (871.
Gen. A. H. Colquitt:—My Dear Gen-
end—On the eve of nay departure from
Atlanta to answer the summons of ilie
“Congressional Investigating Commit
tee,” yon handed me a letter, dated, I
tliiuk, at Flat Shoals, Ga., and written,
as the letter stated, at the instance of
many of my political and pereonul
friends. I have mislaid it and forgotten
the signature or signatures attached to it.
I desire to answer it, and if you cannot
recall the name of the writer, you are
authorized to publish this as an answer lo
that and similar inquiries made by friends
elsewhere.
Tho writer inquires whether my name
appears in the 7Vile Georgian os a can
didate for Governor on tho political plat
form of that paper by my authority.
In reply, I have to say that the editor
of the True Georgian will doubtless l a
quite willing to state the fact that my
name was pl»eed in his oolumns without
my authority, without any oonsnltation
with mo and without any intention on
his part, of committing. me to any par
ticular lino of policy.
Suffice it to say on this subject, that I
am not a candidate for the nomination—
have not been and shall not be; bnt, I
have not thought it necessary to take any
pnblio notice of the few references in the
papers to my name in that connection.
I appreciate most sensibly the compli
ment paid me; but my plans for tho fu
ture are so arranged that I could not con
sent to be diverted from them, and while
I feel the deepest interest in the results
of the next campaign in Georgia, I should
be compelled to decline tho nomination
if tendered me.
Permit me, in concluding, to express
the deep conviction I feel that any event
is to be regarded os a calamity, which
divides our people. Amidst all the evils
which have befallen ns, it has been a
source of prime comfort to ns, that wo
have keen unitetL This may be regarded
to some extent, as the legitimate result
of tho war; bnt the policy pursued to
ward tho South by the party in power
since the war, has, more than all things
else, contributed to this end. It has
brought together those who aided onr
cause, and those who, prior to and dar
ing tho war, were consistent and porsis-
tent Union men, und nnited ell in senti
ment os tho heart of ono man. I trusk
that nothing may oooar, whiak will de
prive us of this partial compensation for
tlio wrongs we have suffered.
With assurnnoes of my best efforts in
behalf of Democratic nominees, both
State and Federal, I am,
Very respectfully, Your obedient
servant, . J. B. Gobdon.
Philip Tkorman, a would-be brick-
mason, giyes notice of the worthlessness
of his own paper in the Georgian of yes
terday. AU who have dealt with him
have found this ont Last week ho bonght
$550 worth of goods from me, giving
notes on Georgia National Bank, which
have not been honored. Ho has just
found ont, after using np the goods, that
he did not got valae received for his
worthless checks. I would caution others
not to take his bank chcoks, nntil tho
Bank lias accepted them.
