MAYOR'* COURT.
Uftlay Sslra*.
Bit Honor's reception yesterday morn
ing was graoed by a very select delegation
of gentlemen, courtesies, blondes and
minstrels, gallants (oolomi) of the mosl
approved stamp, accomplished slander-
ere, and female pugilists, sud the pitiful
victims of them all.
His Honor aeoended the tribunal with
u heart bleeding for hitman depravity,
but with a will as impregnable aa Gibral
tar, to ch'eck the ruin that threatens to
engulf the precious morals of Atlanta;
consequently, when a
A SPARTAN -YOUTH,
'A stranger to fortune tnd fame,” but
unfortunately not to Atlanta benriue,
plead guilty to being drunk. His Honor
reprimanded him severely, recorded the
tl penalty, but a pearly tear-drop fell
and blotted oot the offense forever, tnd
the wsyward youth went twuy rejoicing.
TWtfcOUNTRY GENTLEMEN,
whose names w* will not mention, were
arraigned for quarreling tnd disorderly
oonduct. It seems that No. 1 wa* qui
etly pursuing his way home, mnsing
probably on the Fair and chil
dren at home, when No. 2,
dangling his feet over the counter of a
store (just the position to crack a joke,)
gavo a significant whistle, which, reach
ing the ears of No. 1, aroused his wrath.
He rode up to the door arid intimated to
No. 2, that he had paid his taxes, and
had a right to ride tho streets and not
be subjected to ridicule snd open insult,
and that he was ready to horse-whip him
at any moment. No. 2, all humility, con
sidering they had long been friends and
neighbors, apologised, stating that no
offense was meant; bat No. 1, not so easi
ly appeased, alighted and advanced
towards No. 2, with bis whip in a threat
ening attitude, when No. 2 drew his
knife. A serious difficulty was prevented
by tho timely interference of friends
His Honor, considering that heretofore
No. 1 bad been a peaceful citizen, com
promised the matter with an eloquent
lecture on the disastrous consequences
of hasty temper and serious joking, and
320 aud costs, which we fear deprived
some prattling child of his candy at
home.
A WANDERING PUGILIST.
Mary Phillips was accused of drank
enness and quarreling. She denied
the first charge. She loved
moruing dram, but she believed she
oould take as much as most people with
out being affected. As to tho second
charge she was not so certain. Her sis
ter, ltosa Thompson, had a photograph
(doubtless of Sir Knight Don Heginaldo
deCardozo) which she refused to give up,
and she assumed the responsibility of
oorreoting her, snd prooeeded to inflict
punishment by slapping her on the
month. This slight-of-hsnd trick was
enacted several (into*, to the edification
of Iko pnblic and discomfiture of the un
fortunate Rosa. About this time come
policemen came np, and greatly indignant
that such a novel and fancy exhibition
should be enacted without the proper
license, invited the young artitLs to the
morning reception, where their talents
were duly appreciated by a more enlight
ened audience. A new feature of the
exhibition was a ghastly soar on the fore
head of Mias ltosa, which was accident
ally (?) made by tho dextrous hand of the
aoeumpliahed Mary, in her alight of hand
maneuTres. License, 810. Hearty in
duoement for another entertainment.
THE H1NSTREL BAND
was composed of Miasea Jon*s,MVright

ANNIE HONROE (colored),
with a few jovial companions, made a fa
morn charge on some innocent white
children, hoping to tlrivo them from the
aide Jwalk. His Honor, sstonuhed at
this atrauge mode of warfare, and fearing
that such a precedent might prove ruin
on*, demanded as hostage his faithful
ally aud armor-bearer, “Ten aud ooets.”
Fir* al CartsrSTlII*.
We learn that * fire broke out in the
kitchen of the Bsrtou House, at Cartore-
illo, on Wednesday morning, which cre
ated considerable excitement and alarm
for a time. The kitchen and rear build
iugs were consumed, but no other dam
age was done, the fire being checked
without spreading to other parts of the
town. A keg of whisky was rolled out
from some building, which was imbibed
quite freely, canring some considerable
fighting, but no great harm was done.

About fifty members of this company
arrived yasteiday, with their engine, and

hearty welcome from the boys. A oom-
mittee was appointed to provide accom
modations for the visitor*, and they will
remain guests of the Aflanta Fire De

It ia seldom one sees a finer body of
*n than the West Point boys, end we
can tell their contestants in advanoe that
a good deal of muscle and drill will be
nsooaanry to “get around" these fellows.

found there in abundance.

It is a compliment to the energy, pa

al charms of the ladies, that, nothwith
standing the many places of amusement
in the city, their Fair 11*11, in James'
New Building, is thronged every night
with tho fashion of the city. And it is
further a eulogy on their persuasive elo
quence, whether with words, actions or
more quiet, bat equally effective, de
vices, or the gentlemen's liberality, that
at every table and corner, purse* spill
their contents into snowy hands. Ws
dislike to l>e invidious, bat while en
raptured with their many personal
charms, we woDder if some oon‘
aiileration, stronger than adhesive,
to build the new church, has not
prompted this munificence. Some of
these little charmers, not satisfied with
these unwarrantable exactions of money,
have, by some skillful maneavre, rifled
hearts by the score, and then left their
victims robbed of their last earthly hope.
Bat all things “ are fair in love and war”

for its queen.

TUB ART OALLEBT
is a surprise. We dare any one to visit
the hall without resisting the temptation
to enter this seolnded, weird, mysteri
ous place.
Yesterday the fair, among many other
donations, received from New York a
handsome
PIECE OF STATUABY,
representing the parting lover in the set
of patting on the engagement ring. It
lias thrilling associations for all who have
passed this trying (?) ordeal, and to the
uninitiated it is a charming losson. We’ll
wager a jewsharp there's not a bachelor
in the city that wonld dare look at it.
The Fair is a success; it is a charming
rceort. Citizens and visitors have been
liberal, but with all this, Wesley Chapel
is not yet completed. Go and swell the
list of contributors ,and donations. Go

your dearest dalcina, and lie down with a

The Fair Gronnds presented a lively
scene yesterday. The crowd was large
and gay, and.every body wanted to seethe
races. Tbe nigger could not be found
to walk, bnt, notwithstanding, Vol. Dun

Disseminator was managed by Mr, John
H. Cook, of Newnan, who so success

this excellent implement.

OeUm^H'B PARK.
Ths Managers of the Fair have reason
to feel flattered at the continued snocets
of the exposition. Yesterday was a fine
day. The weather was as good as if it
was made to order; and, consequently, s
first-rate crowd was in the Park. Every-
tliiug passed off admirably, snd, ss far as
we coaid learo, everybody was pleased.
THE MECHANICAL HALL
was not so crowded with exhibitors as
last year. Public taste seems to have
been inspired with the utility of orna
ment more than tbe “utility of utility.”
Chief among tbe attractions of yester
day, were the specimens of ins, menu
factored by the Atlanta Iae Mannlactur
ing Company. It was bespangled with
inlays of Arties, melons, (ruita, flowers,
etc., and was truly beautiful. Some
WINDOW CORNICES,
made apparently of zinc, were exhibited
by Joseph Querbacke, of Chattanooga.

long. Two sach rails wonld be sufficient
to construct a short line of rood, and

COAL.
A. C. Ladd exhibits a lot of Anthra
cite coal, also a bushel of Tennessee coal,
which is tbe nearest approximation we
have over seen to tbe Pennsylvania can-
nek Both these specimens are regarded
aa very fine, and with plenty of either a
whole family could be kept comfortable
daring an euti-e winter.
Just here we might toko occasion to
say that Ladd contributes much to the
interest of the Fair. He has his hy
draulic and alabaster limes on exhibition;
bnt is in his element most when upon the
lightning rod qu stion. He has on ex
hibition no less than eleven different
styles of rod, any one of which he will
guarantee to be a perfect protection
against lightning.
ANOTHER LIGHTNING HOD
Is most beautifully displayed by tbe
Southern Star Lightning Bod Company.
This company has its manufactory and
hosdqaarters at Gainesville, at the other
end of the Air Line Railroad, and our
friend, J. E. Bedwine, of tho Eagle, is
President. They make a handsome show.
OTHER MATTERS.
Mr. Joseph S. Lehman, of Mount Joy,
Pennsylvania, exhibits a splendid assort
ment of ooverlete, of his own design end
manufacture. These ore very beautiful,
and deservedly attract much attention.
Mr. Lehman is a young man, fall of busi
ness, and has great ingenuity. He buys
all his yams from this State, and it is
hoped that before he leaves here he will
moke arrangements to have his goods
regularly on sale here.

which draws a crowd all the time.

JOHN hTjAMES.
Mr. James was bronght np within twenty
miles of Atlanta. He began life a poor
boy—came to thia city poor, and by hit
own efforts, has grown wealthy. His
pros]>ei-ity bos not moved him from hi*
integrity, or turned his head, in too
least; bnt he is plain and unpretending
aa over. He has proved himself to be
one of the ablest financiers in the State
of Georgia, or any ether State. Hie
charities are greeS. He hss given away
enough to nske a' toe fortune. Every
thing tost ho over pat his hand to hss
prospered, and no om erer etiregsi him
with wrong. Ws need jut Rich s man
for Mayor. There ia nothing we need
in oar city government so much
ss s man of the integrity snd financial
ability, of John H. Junes, to see that the
money paid into the Treasury, by the
honest hardworking tax payer* of Atlanta,
is not gobled up by tbs tohemert or
spent, whet* it will do ao good. As
Mayor, he would do mors to puah foweed
the prosperity of Atlanta, than any man
who has yet been named for tbs office.
Such It my opinion. His great abilities
wonld be honestly tnd faithfully "*rttii
for the benefit of tbe whole city. If our
people want a Mayor who will so adminis
ter the government as to do the grea
test good with tbe means at hand, let
them elect Mr. James. I hope he will
be nominalod. A Voter.
