TUUKSDAY ..DECEMBER 4, 187:t.
THE MAILS.
For threo days we have not received
our usual Northern lnnilH, nor have we
learned the cause of the continued deten
tion. Ycfttorday afternoon the mail train
from Macon got oft' the track about thirty
miles from the city, but this cannot ac
count for our failure to rocoivo mails on
Monday and Tuesday. We feel the ab
sence of our Georgia exchanges partic
ularly.
THE rot ut-iioini:.
Columbus should fool proud of lior
court-house, and wo think sho does, for
it is sot down as tlio second finest in the
State, and deservedly ho ; but it has ono
groat drawback, which everybody ac
knowledges, mid to remedy which no
movement 1ms yet been made. The way
into the court-house is very much like the
nppronch to the spider's parlor, for “it
up a winding stair,’’ and a more cunning
ly devised means of torture and dang
never mndo entrance to n Court of Ju
tico. It may bo that the architect, who
did so well in the rest of tho building,
made tho two spiral stairs tiiat twist up
like a pair of brokon screws to tho Court
House door- -a symbol of tho quirks and
turns and dangers that besot tho unhappy
creature forced to sook justice or yield
redress, within. Or it may ho that the
architect had suffered in his youth by tho
action of some lawyer, who robbed him
of bis patrimony and forced him to work,
and so ho took revenge by tortur
ing tho whole race of lawyers. A
cool, strong man, thoroughly sobor,
can spiruto up with comparative safety,
but the ascent is awful on tho old and
decropid. As to coming out, if any man
worms into tho Court House at all boosy,
lio is forcod to retiro to p. bench and sloop
himself sober, for no drunkou man could
deliberately pass the descent of those
steps without tho certainty of breaking
his nock. Vorhapn it was tho intention
>.t tho architect, to show that a man can
;ot into law with much moroeaso than ho
can get out. U ho Counoil ond county
Commissioners should remedy this defect.
It would only take a fow hundred dollars
to make a spleudil approach of broad
slops directly in front. There is much
more necessity for fh ! .a improvement,
than there is for many, on which tho coun
ty has spout more money.
4 II I KK II DOORN.
* 4 1 he Mayor of Allentown lias ordered
1 ho arrest of young men who loaf abont
church doors at tho dose of sorvioo," says
a I’omisylvunia papor. Wero such a law
m existence hero, the best dressed young
men in tho city would bo iu tho lock-up.
Wo do not think the question is grave
enough to call for such summary meas
ures. Indeed, we would feel lonely if
this delightful practice were given up.
Of course, it would ho labor in vain to
the youths who oil their luir, put on thoir
host clothes and freshest dye on their in
cipient mustnohcB, not to take tho advan
tage for exhibiting them idvoy, presented
at tho dmrdi doors, by the exit of pretty
girls. The young gentlemen who get
tUoiusolves up ho nobby for Sunday in
spection nlwnys nded a position near tho
church dour, where they anxiously wait
for tho lufit “Amen, ’ and then they sleek
their straight curls ns they run out, twist
the hair on thoir upper lips, smooth thoir
i lassie oyo brows, and fall into position
as they pull down their vests and arrange
their collars, with u grace that ia all their
own, and which ono never sees ia all its
glory as ho does at u church door. To bo
sure, tbits dress parade is not arranged to
produce eft sot as a whole, for one’s
sense of symmetry and proportion
is often shocked by sooiug a tall
whiskered youth in a blue tie, and fawn-
colored pants standing besido a little
beardless fellow with a yellow tio and
grey pur.ls. Wo are iu favor of those
church door inspectors, but wo ure
shocked at the want of uniformity in
their dross and actions, and we iiopo
to see this corrected. They should
smile together, seeing that they smile
so much alike, and they should keep
their hats off to save the trouble of doing
if every second, and (lien they can ahov
the part in the front and the cut of thoi
back hair to more advantage. Wo would
suggest that tho young rnou of each
church organize an inspection club,
auJ let it be purely sectarian
What light liavo the Methodist
boys to take advantage of a short service
in their church, to como over after thoir
own inspection to look at our girls. I\ h a
To our telegram of yesterday, offering
to bet the editor of the Enqujbeb one
hundred dollars that tho editor of tho
Philadelphia 'Transcript is not the author
of a certain “curtain lecture, as the En-
qltbeb positively asserted, but that Bill
Arp is its author and that it appeared orig
inally in the Commercial, we have receiv
ed tho following reply:
Columbus, Nov. 23, 1873.
Editor Cummer rial: Would bet, but
I’m busted. Postpone ngitation until I
consult some capitalist. It may remedy
it. Come over to tho Press Convention
on the loth of December, and let us have
all our misunderstandings out. Bring Bill
along. A. It. Calhoun.
Ah tho editor of tho Enquibkb, being
“busted,” backs out, an usual, and declines
to bet, wo return tho hundred dollars to
the parties from whom wo borrowed it,
and who proposed to back us, and pro
ceed with the proof in regard to the au
thorship of the curtain lecture—never be
fore brought into question.
Before wo proceed, however, we dosire
right iiore to Kay, (hat although the reck
lessness of our Columbus cotemporary
somowhat voxed us, wo regret tho little
rudeness in our reply to that paper, yes
terday, and trust that tho samo may be
taken in a Pickwickian Honso entirely.
Major Charles II. Smith writes us the
following :
Home, Nov. 29, 1873.
Mr. M. A. Her in:—In auswor to your
note, I reply that the lecture “Out Every
Night” was written by me while Miss
Jennie Patterson was in our city. Her
reading one of tho “Caudle Lectures”
provoked the thought of it, aud my friend
Colonel Eugene Harris, who was then iu
love with Miss Jennie, was tho “setter
on.” Tho lecture was iutendod as a pass
ing local hit at some of our city fathers
who pretended to have a vast amount of
municipal business to attend to—at night.
The urticlo was perused by our worthy
Mayor, W. K Ayer, in manuscript, who
iiiHiKtod on its publication—otherwise it
would have rested in peace. I am sorry
it has attracted controversy, for I am sure
it is not worthy of it. 1 have no doubt
but that tho editor of the Philadelphia
Transcript will bo glad to bo relievod
from the authorship. “Lot us have
peace.” Chah. II. Smith.
Though tlio above sottlos tho matter,
conclusively, yot wo shall give tho Colum
bus Enquirer what the editor of the
Transcript says in duo time. In tho
meanwhile wo republish elsewhere tho
“curtain Jooluro” in question, as it was
copied from tho Commercial, at tho time,
by the Atlanta Herald and Howling Green
Democrat--the editor of the latter paper
being the first to take tho Chronicle and
8enC..i.(1 .dge by substituting tho name
uf tiin own town for that of Home.
'Tlio above is from tho Home Cominer•
'iul, a journal for which we have a great
led of respect, and which wo always
gladly welcome. Tho “lecture,” in ques
tion, certainly appeared in tho Philadel
phia {Sunday Transcript nearly a mouth
i'o, aud without being credited to any
journal. Ho wo supposed Colonel Green
wrote it, as ho is fully capable, and has
written much in this vein. Now, Bill Arp
claims tho crodit, and we cannot gainsay
him. But since tho agitation of this
piestion, we havo road tho “Curtain Loc-
ture” over cnrofnlly, and recognizing it as
an old friend, we blush for tho audacity
of Bill Arp, Col. Green, the Bowling
Groen Democrat, and tho Chronicle and
Sentinel. That “lecture” was written by
Dean Swift as a bnrloBquo on Steele’s
Flemish, the latter writer being rather
vuiu of tlio patois ho acquirod during his
short campaign in Fiandors. On Sunday
wo will publish Bill Arp’s “lecture,” and
Doan Swift’s, aud verify what Solomon
said, or ought to have said “there is noth
ing new in curtain loctures.” If our sub
scribers had stuck back of us, as they
ought to liavo done, wo would never have
been humiliated to acknowledge to a
quondam foo through tho public telegraph
that we wero “busted.” Wo want peace
with brother Macon aud tho loan of a
huudrod dollars to hot on Swift.

Editor Enquirer: While your friend
Gus was on tho streets of Opolika lust
Saturday, tho most conspicuous sights
wero our planting friends working, see
sawing, pulling and hauling tho freodmuu
to crop with them another year.
One would watch his neighbor turn
ono looso ami thon ho would make
for him and offer better ; another would
perhaps drop into sorao little dead-fall
aud turn a social glass with them ; whilo
another would coruor some loading, im
portant froodmnn that had inffuenco.
This continued until near night, when tho
freedtuen wound up masters of tho situs
tion. Having “bulled” the market com
pletely, they rotirod by passing tho ieso
lution : “Hold, boys ! wo can git jist
what we’ll ax otu.” Our discomfited
planters retreated, bewailing tho scarcity
of labor, and its inoffioioncy nftor obtain
ing it ; exclaiming, “What shall we do?
Your friend Gus thought tho answer was
ready—Heduco your force and cultivated
crops even to one-half, and you will liav
twice (ho labor at hand to cultivate them.
Tho consoquonco will bo labor will seek
you instead of you the labor. Labor
would then bo half the price and twice as
efficient. Sow tho roinaiudor of your land
so that taxes and sedge do not take it,
aud Gus will go two to ono that labor will
o into and go at voar bidding.
Your frieud,
Gus Garkinh.
