THE RECENT MISCEGENA
TION TRIAI-S.
Letter from a Citizen of Temnes-
aee, denying that that State
Legalises Mlacegeantlon.
The Sentiaaemts of Tbe San En-
dorsed.
Ten nenne Vlndlcotrd!
We publish below a very important
letter from it prominent citireu of
Knoxville, Tennessee, drawn forth by
tbe recent miscegenation trials in this
city. It will be recollected that in
the case of Willis Harris and Mary
Silvey, the State admitted the legality
of tbe Tennessee marriage.
If out highly respected correspon
dent's statement is correct, it would
seem that the District Attorney was
in error in admitting before tbe Court
the legality of the marriage in Ten
nessee.
We shall rejoice if it be true that
the glorious old “Volunteer State”
has passed through her trials and
cruelties iuflicted by Radical misrule
without having the foul blot of mis
cegenation tiled upon her es
cutcheon. Oppressed and per
secuted as that State has been,
and humiliated by the (iover-
norabip of llrowulow, she has come
out of the fire, the brighter for her
sufferings, and with her honor and
public morality untarnished.
We will only odd that our corres
pondent is well known in this city as
a most estimable gentleman:
Editor Sun: In your report of the
9th and 10th iust, of the proceedings
of tho District Court, you report
with several others of similar charac
ter, the cases of Willis Harris, col
ored, and Mary Silvey, white—ar
raigned on a charge of lowdiicss. The
parties claiming, according to your
reports, to have been legally married
in Tounessoo, and emigrated to Geor
gia, not knowing tho married rcla-
uon between white and colored was
in violation of the laws of Georgia.
This fact was admitted by tho Court,
Counsel, and newspaper reporter, and
placed in mitigation of the crime.
Your comments upon the moral of
the case were, in my judgment, emi
nently just and proper. But when
yon assume that either the laws or
the moral sense of the people of Ten-
ncssoe sanction tho intermarriage of
whites and blacks you assume what is
not the fact. If the said Willis Har
ris and Mary Silvey Btartcd from
Tennessee on their bridal tour, they
did so without the sanction of law.
The Constitution of the Stale pro
vides against the enactment of such a
law bg the Legislature. Tho Code
punishes tho otlbnco by imprisonment
in the jicuitcntiary and tho moral
sense of tho people of Tennessee re
volt at the thought of miscegenation.
A native of Tennessee, and now
my home, but for ten years of my
life a citizen of your noble State,
where I claim the friendship and con
fidence of many of your best citizens.
I am unwilling to see this misrepre
sentation of our laws stand uncoutra-
dicted. And 1 would BUggcst to the
Court, Counsel and news reporter the
propriety of knowing tho facts before
admitting the statements of low, de
graded miscegonationists, as to the
laws of neighboring States, and the
popular current of public sentiment

ONE OF ATLANTA’S “STRONG-
MINDED” VENTURES OUT.
Great (Success!
Mr*. Meeker, of Atlanta, was in our
eity on Tuesday last, proposing to deliver
a lecture to our oitisens on the subject of
“Matrimony.” It seems that sho failed
to attraot sufficient attention to get up on
audience, and the lecture was not deliv
ered.
As a general thing, tbe Southern peo
pie do not take to female lecturers, and
think that educated women con find a
more appropriate sphere in which to ex
ercise their talents.—Covington Enter
prise.
Ail of which we indorse, and venture
the opinion that Mr*. Meeker would
make more by tending babies than lectur
ing on woman’s rights.
MAYOR'S COtJUT.
Tbe case of Carrie Dupree was np again
yostorduy; and it was proven, lieyond
doubt, that (be kept a disorderly bouse.
Tbo testimony was long and voluminous.
Tho neighbors say singing and merry
making, bugging and kissing, was tbo
order of tbo day—or rather nighto-at
Carrie’s house; and that a suspicious crowd
at least, were to be seen there. Carrie's
counsel tried to get her ease mixed up in
l water and mud nuisanoe, but his Honor
know a point of lsw himself; and before
bo would have his eyo 'shut up in that
way, he would fine Carrie 850 and eoete.
The lecture in the case wus worth half
the money, so she really gets off with
twenty-five dollars—if sho knows it
uzzm JOHNSON
belonged to the bappy family which Clal-
liuo bad organized, and tbe cases were
so much alike, oud she being one of
the main hands at keeping the house
hold lively, the Judge thought
ho would moke it lively for her some.
Her counsel was very persistent in her
defense, but the Mayor con tollthem just
as soon os thoy get up. Their dresses arc
not .pinned up right, and they look
slouehy end not all liko decent niggers,
and thcro is no use for a lawyer trying to
throw dust in liis eye when one of them
sort is arraigned. From the purest of
kindness and the best of feelings for Liz
zie, and with the hope that she would ap
preciate the catastrophe, the Mayor kind
ly permitted her to pay 800 and costs.
Lizzie gracefully bowed her head to tho
inaiidute, but it wns Jonseu’s opinion she
would bow it oftener than that before she
got the bill fully settled.
SANDY KINO
was accused of being the old King of
meanness. He was quarrelling and rais
ing the dnst generally with one or two
other darkies—ono of whom came out
with a hoot-lieel neatly cut over tho left
eye, and the claret streaming in profu
sion from his wound. Handy didn't exact
ly know to whose boot the heel belonged,
which mode the cut on the nigger's tem
ple, but when the latter individual was
handed np for being in the same fuss he
got a credit of five dollars for the cut,
and the costs of the cose for liis interests
in tho row.
HISS IilZZIK HAMILTON
was ubsent at Saratoga or some other wa
tering pluoe, and did not answer to roll
call. The Mayor will make her reason
kindly when she does come. He's some
on water.
FENNY MEYKIt
“ picking crows" with another girl,
when an officer camo along and said to
her:
Thy pretty face.
Thy lovely grace,
And all thy winaome charms,
With onnning art
Allurca my heart.
And all my hope alarms,
It alurmrd Fenny for any ono to talk in
such a swoet way to her and the gave np
by saying to tho offioer :
Thy silvery voice,
Thy words so oholoe,
Ringing out in songs,
Break on my ear,
So sweetly dear,
My heart thoir joy prolongs,
Thu Mayor was very much oharmed at
tho reply Fenny inado to tho policeman,
and fined her not a penny, but said :
Thy lovely smiles.
Thy playful wiles,
And thy coquettish airs
Intrance my eyes,
Awoke my sighs,
Aud fill my breast with cave*.
It was all that was filled, exoept that
Jonscu aaid ho was filled with a desire to
get his dinner, and the Oonrt adjourned.

Several retail licences were granted ;
and a prize candy gift concern failed to
get free license to sell hi* wares.
The Dollar Saving* Bank wanted to bo

Committee.
Mr. Dann keeps a store near Whitehall
street creasing, and bo petitions tho
Council for permission to “clean out”
the crowd of idle negroes who obstruot
the gang way there. [We heartily agree
with Mr. Dann in this matter, and the
negroes who loiter there come from tbe
four cardinal point* of tbe compass, and
are really a nuisance. Dann thinks if he
had the proper authority he oould keep
the sidewalks clear, and not trouble tbe
polios about the matter. —Report**.—]
The matter was referred to the City Mar
shal, who will not forget it
A petition from the citizen* along the
line of tho Streot Railroad way wanted
that portion of Peters street macada
mized. In some places the said road has
been raised a foot above the level and in
others as much depressed. Altogether it
makes that thoroughfare a very incom
modious one. especially in wet weather.
The rales were suspended, and a resolu
tion was adopted authorizing the Street
Committee to put the whole force to
work Peters, before bod weather set* in.
The public school question was settled
by authorizing the Mayor to sign con
tracts for lands and work for that purpose,
and tbe the work will commence at onoe.
For tho three sobool houses proposed it
will cost between 875,000 and 880,000 to
build them. This matter is now settled,
and I lie committee will go at once to
work. A lew drainage and sewerage pe
titions were presented.
Tbe Street Committee was authorized
to reject or receive any or all bids for
macadamizing Decatur and other streets.
The city had sold three feet and seven
inches more land to Mr. Elsas than she
owned, and s petition from tbe owner to
pay for it was presented to the City At
torney, Engineer, Street Committee, and
various other combinations, by which the
wronged parties are likely to remain out
of tho nse of their money for some
time.
Messrs. Newman, Fox, Rawson, Aus
tell, McLendon, Lowry, and soveral
others, were suggested as suitable
peasons to represent the city
the Baltimore Commercial
Convention which meets next month; but
tho most popular men were City Attorney
Newman, Mayor Hammond and Aider-
man McLendon. Newman had other en
gagements about that time, but he was
prevailed upon to accept tho appoint
ment. All these gentlemen being leading
commercial men of Atlanta^ the good
sense and discernment of tlio Council in
selecting them will nt once be seen.
The Committee on the Calabooso re
ported the pnrelwsc of a lot on Pryor
street, on which a first-class city prison
will be erected. The lot cost 83,500 ill
cash or 84,500 in lxnids. Tho cash was
decided upon.
Tho opening of Spring street was de
ferred. Alderman Rioe wanted it known
that the man who was opposed to tho
opening of that street would never get the
honor of representing the Fifth Ward in
tho Council. He was in favor of the
opening, but understood that he is not a
candidate for re-election.
The Financial Report says it paid out
87,898 45 last week for expenses.
Tho body adjourned.
Georgia WuUrs Railroad garvojr.
Tho Engineer Corps of the Georgia
Western have been trying most of tho
past week to find a good point at which
to cross tho Chattahoochee below the
mouth of Sweetwater Creek, but have
been unable to find a place where it is
practicable without too great an expense.
The object was to avoid crossing the
river first and then the creek afterwards;
but it hns been determined to cross tho
river about a mile above Adcrhold's For-
ry and above tho mouth of Sweetwater,
and then cross tho creek near ita mouth;
and the Corps, yesterday and to-day, are
engaged in running tho lino from the
point of crossing tho river back to this
city. They will roach here this evening,
wc learn, and remain till Monday morn

Tk« Death of Daalcl Pltmaa Sear.
The public has been aware of the
illness of this gontleumn, and tho on-,
nouncement of hia death has been ex
pected for several days. After a protrac
ted illnoss, he died at 10 o’lock yester
day, at the ripe age of 70 yean, and thus
ends tho career of a good honest man,
one who has aervo«l tho people faithfully
in hia time.
Major Pittman was born in Columbia
County, in May, 1793. From thenoo ho
moved to Gwinnett County, whieh he
represented in the Georgia Legislature
for over ten yean, as Represenative and
Senator. In theoontort growing out of
the project for building the Htato Road
Major Pittman identified himself with
that enterprise, and was elected as a
friend of the road— politics being
entirely ignored ia the race. In hia
career as a publio servant, he performed
hia duties faithfully, and to the satisfac
tion of hia [eonstitaneta. Major Pittman
was a good and true man, in all the re
lations of life, and has gone to the grave
honored and reepeoted by all who knew
him.
New Bridge.
Yesterday the construction of the new
bridge across tho Macon and Western
Railroad in front of Judge Collier's was

TIIC ILEIsniEI TRIAL.
Farther Trillaaaajr PMlpaaad t'altl
Monday.
The trial of James Alexander—for the
alleged killing of Hamp. Whitehead, a
penitentiary convict, was continued be
fore Justice Johnson yesterday at the
Court House. Early in the day crowds of
negroes commenced gathering at the
City Hull, and before the hour of 10
o’clock the minis siul corridors und
grounds of the Hall were olive with
negro men, women und even children.
It was with difficulty that the prisoner
and counsel on either side could get en
trance to the room.
No outward demonstration was made,
further than the congregating of this
crowd, which meant really that their
worst passions had been aroused by tho
reports put in circulation aud that they
expressed, in private conversation and
otherwise, a disposition to take what is
called the law in their own hands.
A few leading negro characters, who
were closely watched, were liusy here and
there, in apparent excited conversation
among the crowd, and much apprehen
sion for the peace and quiet of the city
was expressed by the better disposed por
tion of the community. It wus no doubt
a good thing for those leaders that no
outbreak occurred; for, beside the police,
who were on hand, and wlio have some
recollections of u former riot with this
very class, a number of peaceable and
law-abiding citizens were fully prepared
to teach these villains and cut-tliroats
that any attempt they might moke in that
direction would be met with a wholesome
reception.
Two or three notorious characters were
among the leaders of this crowd, among
whom 'were Finch aud the notorious
Howard Horton. These negroes made no
particular demonstrations, but it was evi
dent that tlioy were leading spirits oi the
contemplated movement.
The testimony of two or throe wit-
neeeses was taken, and the trial post
poned until Monday.
The prisoner wob remanded to the care
of tho Sheriff.

We judge from the number of Rail
road men in the city, that something for
the public benefit is on the tapis, but
could not learn what it is. The people
havo faith ia these gentlemen, and look
to them for cheap rates of passage nnd
freight as well as speed and despatch.—
Among these in the city yesterday, we
notice W. H. King,. G. T. A. S. & N.

look soon for a proclamation from these
gentlemen which will doubtless be to the
interest of tho people generally.
