Docs bapay, thqt* heavy ohargea from m pocket t. This is gn important Now, that wo have accomplished a great and good work in inducing the Mayor to be more retioent, 'it does not become us to fold our arms and say; all 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.

He looked at them In astonishment. There was the identi cal bride and groom of bis dilcrium, •only with fifty summers added to their age. He could scarcely realir.n it, and yet there they were, old, decrepid, sinful snd grief-worn. Whisky, tho poison that damns more than all other causes com bined, bad brought them to thb, had caused them to loae self-respect, bad caused them to disgrace their children and finally plunged them into crime aud vagrancy. Header, perhaps in a few year* you will fiU that picture. His Honor imposed on each $10 aud costa; and as ]ie left the Coart room we heard him matter: “Suf ficient to the day b the evil thereof.’ TIIM TAX UBTUn-VS. Tall stvi-arlag Somewhere—Midi > Himarltably Pair wlirn the Amihm 1$ Around. 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. Auu'te.

Justice Lynes was not prejtored for the onslaught, and oonoequently got tho worst of it We understand that Justice Lynes meditates an action for nsMtolt and battery Such on affair as this on the pnblio street b to bo regretted. Gcntlomen should seek some more quiet plooe for the settlement ot difficulties, and not be setting a bad example to tho youth of the city by a display of ungovernable pas sion.

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.

Harde 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.
