Yesterday tho Book wo* opened, and .Tonsen held np twelve villainous-looking documents in his hand, which meant that twelve of the offenders must como to time with their ‘ ‘scads. ” The show open ed with an introduction of the SMITH FAMILY. Smith! John Smith! Ah, a veritable John Smith was np for quarreling and fussing. John was at Prioe's nigger saloon, and be and another nigger got np a game of old sledge, and they fell out and enssed, and peered the lie, Ae., and so on. The Mayor charged him 95 and costs. IBM THAN ONE QUART. Several caeca were np this morning for this offense. The same glass-eyed man and hi* aaa were the only witnesses. F. P. Kilby wu the victim, snd when the old man oommenoed bis talc of “Cap’n Gee," the Mayor liked to fell out of his chair, and asked for water. Ha got the inside proof on Kilby, however, and fined him 850 and coat*. OEOBGE WEAVER np fur quarreling snd profanity.— They oonld not make ont a case of drun- • against him, becanoe the last time he was up he promised the Mayor he would not drink any more, and he laid he bad kept his word. Anyway, be w*a making lota of noise, which George said was caused by his trying to learn Ms dog some sense. The witnesree oonld not tell whether he swore any or not, as he wse talking Dnich. The Court said it felt morally pertain Weaver was cussiDg in Dutch, bat Je did not understand that language snflhfle$tQI to fix a fine. He let him off with a.ventnrn. of 95 and costa, with the undcfaUiflUbg that tho next time it would be When for granted it was Dutch swearing and finobimaooordingly. A SnoOXD CASK against'him for drunkenness and disor derly oonduct was called, lint the wit nesses, as in tho former cuse, could not tell whether he was cussing or not, nor whether he was drinking or not. Weaver penisted that he hod not drank any since he signed the Mayor’s Good Tem- Idor's Pledge, which the Court was bound to believe, and let him off with costs. LIZEIE HOWARD used some saasuesa to the inmates of tho house at which she was cook, and be came so impudent that a gentleman boarder (railed her over the head with a stick, for which ho was lined $5 and costs; and, aftersho hud iieen flailed, she went out and smashed plates snd crock ery ware generally. Lizzie’s witnesses did not appear, and the ease was con tinued. The witness were ordered under arrest and lockod up till this morning for contempt of Court. l’DILIl' TYLER mixed up in the game of old sledge srith John Hmith, and was the very one who John hud the fuss with. Philip paid 85 and costs. -r. M. JONES for selling liquor without license, was up, with the sumo glass-eyed man and his son as witnesses. They must have sam pled all the whisky in that Ward. The eon made a alight variation in his testi mony in this case from that ho gave in the morning previous, and the Mayor called his attention to that fact. It at onee got him into deep water, when one ot the parties interested wanted to in troduce testimony implicating tho verac ity of tho young man. Permission was given, and three men came forward and ■wore they would not believe bim on Iris oath. This was getting interesting, and the father begged tire Court to wait un til this morning, when he would see if he couldn’t havo some characters im peached too. The ease was decided, and a good deal of square faced swearing will be the result this morning. OLD FAYETTE HEARD FROM. J. B. Woods, a toll, good-natured look ing man from Fayette enmity, came to town yesterday, and in circling around, unconsciously took on too much groceries. The police found him dead drank, and oared for bim. He got 810 worth. H. WOOTEN belonged to the rock brigade. Ho was very nearly related to the tribe of orang outang, judging from his looks and the quality of the testimony he gave in. His Honor gsvo him some severe lecturing and mado bim pay tho oosts. Wednesday's riiocxsDJNus. MISS LIZZIE UOWAIUI. Lizzie was up tho day licforc for lieing disorderly and fussy, but sho was not ready for trial. She gave as her excuse that her witnesses were not on hand, but it ap)icurs that Lizzie just wanted uu op portunity to dress herself up und appear as a lady should at court. So this morn ing sli e caino sailing in na Jonsen sung out her name, all nice enough. She won one of the latest touchcs.of turban hats, with a huge chignon, and little soap locks oil the Bids of her face. Her plaited Garilialdi waisto was handsomely OVSnpread with a double round capo, with high shoulder neuius. Iior dress of lavender colored calico, was u demi-train, adjusted for street wear by means of tapes, which looped it up to the waist at tho back of the seams. Thus arrayed, Lizzie plead not guilty. Could it be possible that she was? No. That “gear ing” completely abut the Court's eye clean up, and tho case was dismissed. JO. AHABOLA was arraigned for keeping a nuisance on the streot after he had been ordered io it The nnisanoe consisted in keeping his chicken coop on the side walk. Jo. said he did take it in for eight Kr ten days, until ho saw John Rogers, Jno. T. Hagan and one or two other* ret their ooope out again, and then he put liia ont Tho Coart mildly put the ques tion to Jo,, •* Om guilt Is Outbade pardon guilt in Romo, Ur vie* In one in auoUter vice absolve ?*• Jo. couldn’t exactly tell, and as he was nut as long in,“diah country aah Moceter Hagan and Msester Uoogen" he thought he would follow their example. In con sideration of ignorance of the law, and several of thorn were into it, and aa it was ail about long, yaller-legged, frying chickens, and oh the Court was fond of them sort (being n good Methodist preacher; he very wisely and judiciously dismissed tho w hole thing. no. 1673 plead guilty to a first-class drunk, and paid the 810 and costs. Who 1C73 is can be ascertained by referring to Jonsen’s book. That was the individual wo hiul up for being drunk. ADAM STRAUSS was aa Irish gentleman, but was boro and raised in Germany, and emigrated to this country soon after the war. Adam was not fond of beer, but would occa sionally take a couple dozen of glaeses, or fifty, just to oblige a friend. And then he is not at all punctual about when, where or whether he retires ut all or not His “frnu” generally keeps him straight, but he gets the best of her sometimes, and raises the old Horry. The court asked Adam how about the fuss, and ho said Veil, Bhadgo, I told you how It vok: I don’t got any glock; De under night I gone up town, I’ud take » glass o' bock. Und vun o' dem lob-earod Dutchmen cirno, Fon lUrfluu, you a i dike a gliia in it r Yell, den, I tought l‘d Uke k glass; I’ud, sure m I'm alife, ' dit lob-cared Dui » «uppie or l Two or dree gupplc or flfu or ten, Or 'leven, 1 expect; And ven ve started home ail two Vm drunk—noif dat’a k fact.

FRANK LONG wns first cousin to Lucj Long, who took her time about making the baby comfortable. Frank was accused of be* ing drunk and disorderly. He said he did take a dram uml felt it, but us far as curbing a white man who was going along tho streets, ho never did it, and if he did he don’t recollect it His Honor remin* ded Frank that when he took a ten cent Atlanta drink it was not the sixteen year old staff which Parks Arnold used to keep in his cellar, and would effect him rery differently (the Court and Frank both remember old PurkH). In conside ration of them both coming from tho same county and being old-time acquain tances he only oliarged Frank the $5 and costs. ANOTHER COUNTY HEARD FROM ! Old Walton county had a representa tive before the Court yesterday in the person of K. W. Blackburn, who, on coming to town, changed bis liquor too suddenly, with the most disastrous re sult*. It threw him heels over head in no time. As it was a plain drunk it only cost $5 and costs. ROBERT WEBSTER, alias Dob Yancey, was on the floor of the Senate. An inferior article of a barber made free with Bob, and sung out to him “ Hello, old feller, can’t you set ’em up!” Bob did not liko such as this, and invited the youth to go through a very unpleasant performance, for which invi tation Webster paid 810 and costs. W EBSTER STEELE was the poor article spoken of in the last chapter, who had the fuss with Webster. He called that individual a d—d old fool. This much Bob stated, and spread himself in a similar similar style to liis great paternal ancestor (so-called). Web- stei’s reply to Hayne was a tame affair in comparison. It overwhelmed the Court and Senate Chamber and mulcted Steele iu for 810 and costs. SOME MORE OF THE SMITHS. Tie everlasting Smith family sent Har riet up to represent them this morning. She was a poor sample of that prolific stock, and if it had been the first Smith the Court ever saw, it would have gone Hard with her. But it was not—no, not by upwards of several hundred millions, and among them some right clever folks, too, all of which went to mitigate the penalty for quarreling and profanity, and sho went off with a $5 flea in her car. Court adjourned. Great Pox Chaic. Wc understand that the good citizens of Henry county are making prepara tions for a great fox hunt, to come off on tho fourth Monday in this month. All the lovers of this sport aro invited to meet at S. M. Price’s, from whence the party, with a general congregation of fox hounds, will go forth in search of ltey- nord. Some of the finest hounds iu the State will l»e iu tho race; and there is a prize offered for the fastest dog. llvavjr Arrival. Col. Oliver Fonts, of tho Burns House, Chattanooga, arrived in tho city yester day, and is now iu chargo of Major Frank Warren, of the H. I. Kimball House. Major W. says lie will have the Colonel on exhibitiou to-day. He is on his light weight now, and is not able to put down more than 350. He is the youngest and smallest of seventeen sons, all lH»ys, und the Major says, though he is not acquainted with the w hole family, he thinks tho Colouel must be tho hand somest iu tho lot To look at him, one would image that ho keeps a capital good hotel, or enjoys a most excellent private larder, Fulton Count/ Jail. We had occasion to visit this institu- (ion yesterday, and con truthfully state that the comity needs the new jail now in course of construction. Such a jail as litis one is, is a disgrace to any comma nity. We did not have time to make an examination of the colls, but went into the upper rooms, and notwithstanding there were evidences of an effort on the part of the officials to keep it iu good or- ler, it was far from being comfortable. There are a large number of prisoners confined in it—many who have not been found guilty of crime, but who are de tained for trial, and it ia not desired that they should be punished even by con finement in such a place. Tho new jail ia progressing rapidly, and when finished will be a building that the citizens of Atlanta will not be ashamed of. CawauBltaltd. Editors Sun: You have heretofore pub lished in your paper a list of tho war rants drawn by Mr. H. O. Hoyt, while he was the agent of the State Boad, un der Foster Blodgett’s administration, for tho purchase of wood, cross-ties, und for ballasting the rood, and I have seen in your columns, *thnt Mr. Hoyt complains that the publication is unjust to him, as leaving an unfavorable impression upon the minds of the public, unless it could be accompanied by facts os to the manner in which that money was dis bursed. I propose, through your columns, courteously, to ask Mr. Hoyt a few ques tions, which I hope he will answer through the same medium. How much wood did you purchase last year? I havo been informed that there were about 20,000 cords on the road when Col Halbert gave it up, and that there was about the same amount on the rood when it was taken charge of by the les sees. I know not how true this is. Will Mr. H. inform us ? Will he also inform us of the amount needed to run the road a year ? I have been told that 25,000 cords is an abundant supply. Is this so, and how much did he purchase, and what was its oost ? Will he also state how many cross-ties he purchased in 1869 ? I have been told that 250 per mile is enough to keep the road in repair for one year, and that less than 40,000 will cover the wants of the entire rood one year. Is this correct ? Then, Mr. H. had the contract for put ting down "ballast” on the road, or hired it to be done. I am told that he was al lowed 81 25 per yard for it, and that he hired others to do the work, paying them only 65 cents per jtrd; and that those so employed have said they made a fair profit on it—«in other words, that it could all have been done for 65 cents per yard, and a considerable amount was hired to be done at that price by Mr. H., but that he was allowed and drew for it 81 25 per yard. Is this true ? Will Mr. Hoyt please answer ? If he is innocent of any wrong doing, let him be vindicated, I say. If he has acted properly throughout, none will more earnestly eommend and justify him tli&u I will. I am after facts only, and am not entirely on au unjust crusade, without first giving him an opportunity to explain w hat he did. Inquirer. OtiLK rilOKPK COTTON FACTORY. A Genuine Home Institution — Opera, tions Commenced Yesterday. CoL R. M. Clarke, ouo of tlio oldest settler* of this city, ami in fact tlio first man who over sold a yard of dry goods in Atlanta, was giving ua yesterday a few dote in relation to the Oglethorpo Fac tory, located on South river, in De Kalb county. Mr. Clarke owned on this river one of tlio best water power sites in tho whole country. His good judgment and far-sightedness ot once determined him to put tliiH valuable power to some use He sot aliont organizing a stock company for tho purpose ot erecting what the Smith most needs—a substantial cotton factory. Mr. C. took u large amount of stock himself, and individually built the factory building and numerous outhouses. The main building is 112 feet long by 80 wide; one-half of tho building is three stories high, 112 by 40 is tho size of the first two stories. It has been built since last Christmas. Yesterday operations were commenced by starting 1,500 spindles, although there are 3,000 in poaitiau. The quality of the thread is of the finest kind, numbers ranging from 20 to 30. These yarns are intended for the Philadelphia market, where the demand is good for that quali ty, and tlio prices range from 32 to 33 cents per pound. The machinery is of the best kind and intended solely for this quality of goods. As soon as tho present arrangement begins to make any tiling likes handsome dividend, the looms will bo put in opera tion, as there is apaco and capacity to run looms enough to consnmo wluit yarns can be made. For tho present, though, only the finest quality of yarns will lie manufactured. Mr. James Hippy, who came out with the machinery and put it up, is tho gen eral superintendent of the factory. He is one of the finest weavers and machin- ests in the country. CoL Clarke is the general outside man, and with his usual vim and energy is pushing his enterprise quietly but steadi ly forward. We hope his moat sanguine expecta tions may be realized, and that all along oar numerous water courses other and similar evidences of thrift and independ ence may soon be seen. aig Li*. The Western telegrams, a few days ago, informed us of the departure of this cel ebrated Indian; chief of the tribe of “ Sunny Boys ’’ for the Booth. He ar rived here yesterday morning, and his first exploit was to visit Ballard’s Saloon, iu the New Passenger Depot, where he amused himself for an hour with the Beer Pump, exclaiming nt short intervals, “Fire water, ugh, squirt heap more, brave man don't care d—n." From ap pearanees, he was feeling well, and upon taking a survey of tho depot, exclaimed “Much Wigwam, no sqnaw."Hewastold that squaws were plenty and in close proximity,upon whioh he instantly started through the building, bat at the door of the sleeping cor office he stopped and wanted to know if “Berths could be secured with mlaui he>*i ticket,” Mr. Dunning politely- told him it couldn't be done, as several bad tried and failed, lint ns he ap]ieared to be a spitefully inclined, he was told to consult either Colonel Dunlap or Mnj. Hammock, who resemble each other very much, bnt whose experiences in “securing berths," in sleeping cars, are somewhat dissimilar. Eye Witness. Mrs. Cauthorn. Those who desire instruction in music are invited to read the announcement ot Mrs. Cauthorn in another column, who comes among us from a long rebidence in Nashville, with the very beat testimonials. The Nashville Banner of the 7th inst., says the people* of that city will regret her leaving, and adds: Mrs. Cauthorn i» one of our most ac complished and efficient instructors in music, l>oth vocal and instrumental, and has taught for years in the first female schools of this city with entire success. We commend her to the people of At lanta, and bespeak for her their confi dence and esteem. Mr. R. Dorman, music dealer, says she ranks a “strictly first class tender, compe tent to all she undertakes, and faithful in the discharge of her duty.” Mr. James A. McCluro says she has been teaching vocal music and giving instruction on the harp and guitar in "the best institutions in Nashvillo and Columbia,” in which she ‘‘lias given entire satisfaction.” We bespeak for her a cordial reception by the people of Atlanta. * Overflowing. Wc learn that there are over thirty parties now in the guard house in this city. Our police have been taking in offenders by wholesale for a few duys past. personal. Dr. Bard, of the True Oeeryum, re turned yesterday from an extended trip to the North. He is looking much im proved. Templeton. Last night DcGives* was very near crowded with one of the most fashionable audiences we have seen yet. We noticed quite a large number of ladies out, who were attracted thither by Camille, which was splendidly rendered by Alice Yane. Tho after piece was splendid. The Arfid Dodge was as good a thing of the kind one will see in whole season. To-night, Captain ofthe Wat ill, to con clude with Ten Nights in a Bar Room.— This last is a most affecting piece,, aud May-the-Fay wiB appear. All should go out to see it. * The dry goods market has opened very briskly for the’season. The jobbing houses are crowded with customers from all parts of the State aud Alabama. One house yesterday sold tho rise of 812,000 worth. Merchants say they can buy here just as cheap as they can farther north, and we believe what they soy. Meeting in tlie First Ward To-Night. We havo been requested to state that there will be a Democratic meeting to night at tho store of Morris & Defoor, on Peters street, for the purpose of forming a Young Men’s Democratic Club. It is getting about time such things were being looked after, and wo are glad the First Ward will set the ball iu mo tion. Let all the First turn out. Supreme Court of Georgia, I September 13th, 1871. J L. R. Ray, Esq., of Newnun, Ga., aud Howell Jackson and W. S. Thomson, Esqrs., of this city, were admitted to this bar. Argument of No. 12, Flint Circuit— Elizabeth L. Sullivan vs. tlio Cotton States Life Insuranco Company—was concluded. Argument was heard in No. 14, Flint Circuit. It is Isaiah Hollingsworth vs. J. B. Lamar—Equity from Henry. A. M. Speer, S. C. McDaniel, for plaintiff in error; M. Arnold contra. This closed the Flint Circuit. No. 4 Tallapoosa Circuit was, by con sent, next taken up and argued. It is Jas. M. Austin vs. Wm. Markham—Com plaint from Fayette. R. T. Dorsey, Hugh Buchanan, for plaintiff in error; Tidwell, Fears k Arnold contra. Argument was heard in No. 3. It is H. Hamrick vs. D.

Professor Hutchinson, the Musical Di- rectorof the Beethoven Society, whose card appears elsewhere in Tub Sun, will, in a few days, have a Pipe Organ for the parlor—an instrument never yet seen in Atlanta. This lie will have at his room at Gus Haynes’, corner of Mangum and Hunter streets, where he gives private lessons to such as coll on* him ; also, visits tho residences of such as desire him to do so. Tlie UI strict tsurf. After disposing of two casen yesterday morning, Judge Lawrence adjourned over until the October term. During tho present session quite a num ber of old offenders have been disposed of. The great beauty of this tribunal is, a man may commit an offence to-day and before to-morrow night he is working out the penalty on tho chain gang, if he has not mouey enough to settle. District Attorney W. G. Irwin keeps them moving around, and between him and Judge Lawrence and tbe jury, but tbe fewest number of rascals escape pun ishment. Its a good institution. Oil' for Baltimore. To-night the Knights Templar leave the ity for the Grand Convocation of the Sir Knights in Baltimore, which takes place the 19th inst.
