RECORDER'S COURT.
-From Africa the negro came—
Ar.se, oh Congress, bless his name !
Stand up, good Grant, and bless the day
Tbs negro came from Airies!
He is the object of onr love—
In him we live, in him we move;
For him we preach, for him we pray.
For him we meet from day to day.”
The Police Court is beginning to smell strongly of
Africa. It would not be so objectionable, however, if
the “colored cuss from Africa,” the female persuasion
thereof, particularly, did not delight In parading ab
surd private and family quarrels before an audience of
white people. They have about monopolized tbe en- cil.
tire time and business of ths Court upon the most
trival causes in having each ether arrested with ma
licious intent.
Samantha Watts, on yesterday, was keel ing up the
reputation of the family name by experimenting with
steam, which she rsised by ber own individual ex r-
tions. She lives “jining” lots to Mary Johnson and
Mary Ann Capers, who are two orderly and well be
haved old women. Samantha has a husband named
Jim Franklin; and here wa* another enigma to ths
Court. Somebody came to see the two old ladies
night before last, and Samantha and Jim concluded h*
wai a burglar, trying to burn up their residence, and
insulted both the Mesdames Capers and Johnson, for
which she was arrested. After exploding her biler
in Court, she was allowed to pay five dollars and go,
for being disorderly and profane.
By this time the aroma de Afriquv became so strong
that Colonel Jim Waddell and Dr. Wilson, who had
merely dropped in, held their noses out the window
and sneezed. (Waddell, it is said, wants to occupy
the same position in Marietta as Old Ten and Costs
does here. This is mere rumor.)
Prince Arnold was a little pop-eyed niggei, who is
Captain in the rc^k batallion. He and some other
small fry got into a dispute and he turned bis artillery
of grape loose upon the whole crowd. It happened to
be in the neighborhood of a policeman’s house, and
he threw with such vim as to wake the officer up from
nap, which fact wa* sufficient evidence that PriDce
bad made m.usual disturbance, and he pays five dol-
llar* or go on the streets nine day*.
••We may go through the world, but ’twill be very alow
If we listen to ail that we hear r* we go;
We’ll be worried, and fretted and kept in a stew.
For medulesome tongues must have something to do—
For people will talk.
If quiet and modest ’twill then be presumed
That your humble position is only assumed;
You re a wolf in sheep’* clothing, or else you’re a
fool,
But don’t get excited, keep perfectly cool—
For people will to:k ”
If Sophia Trotttr had kept these lines continumlly in
her mind’s eye, she would not have gotten into an
awkward scrape with Belcoat Jones, the President of
the Gospel Aid Society. It seems that Sophia and two
other sisters rested under strong suspicions of Bel
coat that they were not what they ought to be. if they
wished to be successful in impressing the truths of
the Gospel upon their dying bister sinners,
and he very properly brought charges
against these Magdalens as beiDg un
worthy the fellowship of the better portion of the
society, and lurtbcr privately announced his determi
nation to quit being President unless they were ousted.
Tbe President’s wishes were carried out to the letter,
and all at once the three sisters discovered themselves
without tbe pale cf the G. A. S. Ex-sister Sophy st
had President Jones arrested for defamation of
character, and brought before Justice Butt, who, after
of his most patient hearings, dismissed Jones.
She then bad him up before the Recorder for saying
ugly things, and this was the way it ended: Jones
got off, and the three injured sisters got a lecture and
good advice from the court, who has been noticing
eases all his life, and wound up as he begun. He
told them to behave for the future, and closed w.th:

Hard Up.—The beat evidence of the stringency of
tha times, if indeed more were needed, came under
tbe immediate observation of several geutlcme
yesterday about dinnertime. It proves further the
degeneracy of the age in which we live, or to w hat shifts
some men will resort to in order to gratify tht-ir v
ness for "beer.” The bh od-curdliDg scene of which
ws speak is, we fear, alas, too frequent! A quarter
master ind Major in the late war for "what we be
lieved to beo-ir rights,” was go‘ng around with some
thing wrapped in an old newspaper, and when
asked what he had, it was instantly unfold
ed, and a miniature iron tafe belonging
to his little chil 1 was displayed. It contained se* eral
pieces of silver and gold coin which had been contrib
uted by tbe child’s friends, and the father would by s
little palavering intimate that if any one desired to
contribute a "memento” towards filling tho safe
why, of course, etc. Several gentlemen put io nickels
and one gave a silver quarter. Tbe ex-quartermaster
was afterwards seen entering a beer saloon, and delib,
erate y drink and pay for it out of the little cash box
Bathe* Here anil There.
The weather continues remarkably cool. Nowell
regulated family can yet affiid to throw away
blankets.
Mr. H. F. Fmeiy has perchaeed thiitetn ter
land from Mr. Pelham, of Kirkwood, for one hundred
and thirty dollars per acre, where he will put up a
handsome residence. Has he caught the bird ?
The Katy-Dids created a pleasant little diversion
yesterday by drilling in full uniform on their new
grounds.
Where is the engine* r that the government was go
ing to send to Atlanta to locate the custom house ? I
They promised that he should be here by the 1st of
Jaly. His “circulation ” will get to be very small if

Mr. J. C.'Peck, Dr. Bozemau.and some others, have
taken anjnterest in the company that manufactures
Siaymaker’s desks, and the manufacture of thefc non
pareil desks will be prosecuted with energy.
The annnai convention of the 8igma Alpha Epsilon
Fraternity which was to hive been held at Louisville,
Kentucky, on the 22nd inst., has been indefinitely
postponed on account of the prevalence of cholera
In the Western cities. The fraternity is said to be in
an exceedingly flourishing condition.
Good friends, take my advice, and do as you please,
For your mind (if you have one) will then be at ease,
Through life you will meet with all sorts of abuse,
But dou’t thiuk to atop th<m, ’twill be of no use—
For people will talk.”
An eminent physician, who had permittd his horse
to obstruct the sidewalk, had been summoned to come,
but he didn’t, and the court expressed his mind to
charge him five dollars every day be failed to appear.
He put him down for a V.
T. N. Barringer, one of our estimable friends out at
the Barracks, swallowed a little too much cholera pre
ventive, and held a railroad meeting on Pryor street.
Disgusted that, in the estimation of the people gen-
rally. that Birmingham was a greater railroad center
than Opelika, and should take rank higher than the
West End terminus of the street railroad, he mixed with
his cholera medicine a torch-light procession of mint
juleps. His hair was cut close after the style of the
“military clip.” He had a scar on his nose, and
seemed quite indifferent over his arrest. The court
ventured the suggestiou from the nasal abrazare in
his frontispiece, that he had been attempting to butt
the bull eff the bridge, and fined him five dollars a
butt.
J. H. Cultingham, having become dizzy In the head
under the influence of too much valley tan, imagined
that the earth was trying to roll from under his feet
out of pnro spite, and was arrested by the police giv
ing utterance, in song, to tbe following treasonable
sentiments:
“Roll on, thou ball, roll on !
Through pathless realms of space
Roll on t
What though I’m in a case ?
Wuat though I cannot meet my bills ?
Wnat though I suffer toothache’s ills?
What though I swallow countless pills ?
Never yon mind!
Boll on!
The Court rolled ten blsziDg slugs out of liis olt
breeches and J. H. rolled out of couit.
Not for a moment disputing that ReUwine k Fox’i
cholera remedy should dispel all doubt in the mind of
every father, mother son and daughter, that this med
icine is worthy ot trial (which is all the proprietor’s
ask), Mr. T. Goodwin concluded that Robertson coun
ty Hair Invigorator would suffice so far as any irregu
larity was concerned in his case,and was found by the
police a few hours afterwards on his face In the gutter,
a forcible illustration of “all quiet along the lines to
night.” With this reflection, the court quietly
wrapped from the solicitude of its own originality and
adjourned in deep thought.
Of Frank Tutwiler. for payment of ten dollars for
iemoving a dead cow. Laid on the table.
Of Georgia Banking and Trust Company, asking
that four hundred and fifty dollars tax, paid at varl
limes—the same having been paid under protest—
be refunded with interest. Alderman Brotherton
thought X ought to be tabled. Alderman Goldsmith
and McMillan favored referring it. Alderman Rice
favored tabling it. Alderman Goldsmith said this
only bank that paid it at all The matter was
definitely postponed.
Of Yolney Spalding, stating that McDonough street
grading could be done cheaper thau at first thought—
an error having been made in the estimate,
ceived.
Of D. W. Judson, calling attention to Pryor street
sewer, and asking that it be opened.
The rules wero suspended, and Mr. Judson stated
that within the last twelve months an acre and a half
or two acres of ground had been overflown by the
water there, large deposits of mud left by it, causing
unhealthy miasma, etc.
Alderman McMillan stated that the City Engineer at
first stated that the work could be done for $150, but
Mr. McAfee would not do the work for less than $300.
Referred to Commhtec on 9ewerB and City Engh

nays were: Brotberton, Young, McDuffie and Gold
smith. The balance, except Boring, who was excused,
voted aye, so tbe minority report was adopted.
Alderman Brotherton changed his vote and gave
notice that be would move a reconsideration at next
mooting.
The Street Committee report the following damages
done by the rain storm Thursday: Wall and culvert
on Fair street near Hill street; cost of repairs $50.
Wooden bridge, corner Hill and Fair streets, he re
built with the wood curb now being taken up; cost
$10. Fort street, from Decatur to College, requiring
a retaining wall and culvert; cost $250. Corner Fos
ter and Fort streets impassable, and recommend that
wood sewers, built of wood of the curbinjnow being
taken up; cost $20. Bridge, corner Harris and Butler
streets, partly washed away; repairs will cost $75.
Damages comer Ivy and Cain, slight, but recommend
that 200 feet of 12 inch pipe be put in; cost $130.
Corner Decatur and Pratt; repairs cost $15. Fillmore
street, near 5th Baptist church; fifty feet 20 inch pipe
necessary; cost $100. No complaint as to work done
this year; all old work that is giving way.
Quite a squabble got up about the recommendation
to use the wood curb at different places from that di
rected by the resolution.
Aldorman Beatie asked that the report be read again a
This was done and Alderman Brotherton moved the
report, except that part which related to the use of the
wood curbing, and they be allowed to use new mate,
rial. Alderman Boring and Morris wanted to know
what had become of the wood curbing.
Alderman Langston advised moderation, etc. Hoped
this squabbling aud personality would bo stopped.
Alderman Dodd wanted the committee instructed to
use Terra Cotla pipe. Alderman Yonng thought It the
heat pipe. Somebody said Concrete pipe had been
used on Decatur strut.
Alderman Brotherton’s motion prevailed.

done. Had seen one case of cholera, and the one con
ing next highest to it was in that locality; would coat
good deal of money. Majority report adopted.

tion to the sewer on Calhouu street—adverse.

Unite*! Ststm Co
ed the
Commissioner W. B. Smith, yesterday,
release of Thomas Black from jail.
He was sentenced by Judge Erskine to three months
imprisonment, aud to pay a fine of two buudred dol
lars and costs, and to remain in prison until said line
and coats were paid unless otherwise discharged by
law. Under a special act of Congress United States
Commissioners are invested with power to release a
party from imprisonment on account of the non-pay
ment of fine and costs, upon his making ca.h that
is not worth twenty dollars over tin exempts
allowed by State laws.
This oath cannot entitle the party to a release until
after he has served the term to which he wan sentenced
and thirty days besides. Under this act the Com
missioner released Mr. Black.
Alderman Dodd’s resolution relative to iuvesti 3 ct-
ing the condition of the rewerage at junction of
Peters and Garnett streets, is u move in the right
direction. At that point the drainage of both ends of
Peters ttrset, with that from Garnett street, and from
the property north of Peters street, is all concentrated
and emptied on Alderman Morris’ private property,
whereon he is just completing a $7,ooo residence.
We have no doubt the Council will remedy this e\i*
right away.
