“ Paganism never built a single hospital for the
poor, for the sick and infirm.”—Bishop Grots, in his
Atlanta Ixcturc on Charity.
To the Editors of the Hermld:
Will the good people of Atlanta allow the stain
which rests upon Paganism to be fixed upon their
growing, aspiring city ? There is not, perhaps, on the
continent, a citv having the population of Atlanta, that
is without a hospital for the sick. Why is this ? Cer
tainly not because there is not in the city the means to
establish one, nor the want of that Christian
virtue, charity, which prompts the establish
ment of such institutions. It is because
there has not been that unanimity of toutiment
and action which is essential to the success of all snch
enterprises. A charter ha3 been lately obtained by
the kind offices of a most excellent lady which brings
this question squarely before the community, and
will test it upon its merits. Some kindheirted cor
respondent of your paper has brought tbe matter to
the notice of the public. I would aid that person in
this praise-worthy work. The calls of humanity, as
well as an interested policy demand snch institutions,
and all well governed cities have felt
and appreciated their importance. Tbe municipal
authorities have declined to give any
material aid to a hospital, and. perhaps, after all, it is
better that they should not inaugurate the enterprise,
especially, if they should desire to control it in con
sideration of the support which they m.gfct give it.
That honorable body already has on hand j ffis enough
| > divide out aud keep its hands clean. And, then, it
afaonld not be exposed to other temptations than
those to which it is made subject, in providing for
hungry aspirants for p!a:e. It is, doubtless, made of
stuff stern enough, but poor human nature needs all
the props and supports that can be supplied to pre
vent it falling. It is better, perhaps, that
the hospital should be established by pri-.
va‘e donations, and put under the control of
less ambitious men, and of those who
have no favors to dispense. This would also relieve
tbe Honorable Mayor and Aldermen, and the enter-
pri ting officials nnder them, of the onerous burdens
which an exacting community has imposed upon
them. Their public-spirited self-denial should excite
some feelings of compassion in the bosoms of an iu-
dulgent constituency. The Georgia Western Railroad
and the Water Works are enterprises fully equal to
their energies without Lacking them with other strains.
And then, the present Council may not have acquired,in
the eyes of tbe people, a perpetual tenure of office, and
may find themselves high privates next January, and,
therefore, it would not be in good taste for friends to
have them committed upon such matters. They might
promise what their want of position might prevent
them from fulfilling.
Then let all our good citizens forget any discussions
or differences of opinion which may have divided them
upon this subject, and unite in giving material aid to
the ladies who are cha Tged with raising funds for this
noble end. ***
don’t pretend to say, but there is a slsck twisted-
uess which is at times a great annoyance to our folks
—fast driving, obstructions on tho sidewalks, nui
sances around of various kinds, and so on and so on.
A change is needed to add to order and comfort.
Now, what sort of a change, uncle do you want?
We have been overhauling the Recorder’s docket for
tbe present year, and made a note of it. There has
been docketed and tried, up to yesterday morning,
1,40) cases, even. Up to the same timo last year there
had been 1.052 cases—a falling 6ff of 652 cases for this
year. Up to this time there has been nearly $5,000 in
cash collected for flues, and the city has received from
those who were unable to pay their fines, over 1,060
clays of work. Further, there has been more money
collected an 1 paid into the city treasury from this
court for the first six months of this year, than was
collected during the whole twelve months of the pro
ceeding administration. And now adjust you nose
glasses and see if you "can’t eee any evidence of regu
lation in this fair city of ours.” We give you this in
formation, and hasten to business.
[When the Court adjourned on the previous day, it
ft over for another meal some hash, one dish of
which was Ormand Green. Mr. Green was verdant
enough to think that he could form a tangling alliance
with lUrleycorn and not wound tbe feelings of the
authorities, in which idea Mr. Green was egregriously
wrong. The guard found him as he lsy in the plebian
dust, late in the evening, with his dilapidated hand
kerchief aud a fierce dog by his side. Green is a waif
upon tbe waters, buffeted about by adverse winds, and
out of sight of alt the landmarks of his better days.
He had been sitting up with a cholera morbus patient,
and hail takeu ail liis physic for him, out of pure good
nature, aud hence the result. The guard raised him
sympathetically, and carefqlly folding him in his arms,
carried him to bed at tho public expense and labelled
him ‘ other diseases.” The Court taxed the liquor in
his system eight dollars.
When the man who has the job for numbering the
houses, came to the suburban residence of Lizer
Floyd, and nnbeknowns’t to that lady, tacked up her
number, 5,641, Mitchell street, the glaring, gilt edge
letters were too dazzling for Lizer’s comprehension,
and she immediately demanded to know what it
meant. The number man, being of a jocular turn,
remarked, "I’m the tax man, and ffant to find ont
which of you niggers pay taxes and which don’t.”
This was taxing Lizur beyond her dignity, and she
avenged the reflection upon her honesty by seizing an
axe and cutting down the mark on the door facing.
She cams forward, and the court explained tho num
bering process to her entire satisfaction, for which
bit of information she pays $5.
Andrew Mitchell, a small sized, innocent looking Af
rican cherub, pays five and costs for placing bricks on
the McDonough street railway.
Four little black trump cards, of tho ace of spades
persuasion, had mounted the little Italian harpist, and
after flooring him proceeded to riffle his pockets. They
only obtained a base ball and eome maccaroni, for
which they each ball to ibe music of ten and costs.
Miss Medora Barnet was discovered by the police
awaiting the coming of her Corsair, in snch a derang

the modesty of the church-goers in Brooklyn. She
was sent to tho workhouse to button op!
A. Mascn—and, as for that matter, an odd fellow be

disreputable little negroes—tbe same batch alluded to

Wednesday morning was tbe first day of tbe Clay
ton county Fair. Everything had previous y been
prepared for a successful entertainment, and the Fair
Grounds were one msss of living beings before noon.
The display of home productions were considerable.
Various kinds of cern, wheat, oats, rye and vegeta
bles of all kinds were on exhibition. Horses, mules,
cattle and live stock generally were very liberally rep
resented.
The household department was fine. Bed clothing,
ladies’ and children’s wearing apparel, needle-work,
piano covers, etc., were flue; while any and every
thing in the way of cakes, jellies, preserved fruits,
and sweetmeats generally, were in luscious profusion.
A large quantity of bTead was exhibited and gave uni
versal satisfaction.
There was some racing, both trotting and run
ning. Also a negro race, which created considerable
amusement. A mule trot was highly interesting.
When the train arrived from Atlanta, bearing Hon.
B. H. H'll and Governor Smith, who had come down
by special invitation, they were met at the depot by
the military company, who was headed by a splendid
brass band, and escorted to the Fair Grounds. At 11
o'clock Mr. Hill was called upon, and in one hour and
fifteen minutes, he regaled the crowd with one oi the
most interesting and sensible speeches he ever made.
He portrayed the situation of the country in the agri.
cultural and governmental aspects, and setting forth
the danger and remedies to be applied. He said the
country was getting poorer every year, and advanced
the most wholesome and sound advice for the recupera
tion of Georgia that the good farmers of that section
ever listened to. We cannot at this time give any
thing like a correct report of Mr Hill’c speech, but
learn that it will be published in pamphlet form, and
distributed over tho whole country.
At the conclusion of Mr. Hill’s address, Gov. J. M.
Smith arose and in his plain, practical way enchained
the attention of tho crowd for over an hour in one of
his ablest talks. He spoke of the agricultural interest
the greatest interest of the country and one which
demanded tbe greatest care and foresight, and that
when the farmers prospered everything prospered.
He illustrated by sayiug that if the lawyers were pro
hibited from practising for one year there wonld but
little damage result to the country’, snd some money
saved to the clients. That if ihe doctors were dis
pensed with for the same length of time, some per
sons might die, but a great many would in all proba
bility be better off. If the mechanics should fail to
work for one year, it might subject some people to
some inconvenience, but let the agricultural interests
stop for twelve months, and no one coaid depict the
horrors of the situation. Then, as agriculture is
more important than all other pursuits it demands
more thought than ail.
He called attention to the sadden abolition of slave
ry and the disruption of all system of labor; and now,
after six or seven years’ experience we had really no
system still. He said that man would be tne greatest
benefactor of his country now who would show us
how to make tho labor of the lately emancipated slaves
available, and how to control it so as to form a sure
basis for future calculations. Tho great difficulty is,
we are unable to control the labor of the country.
He then went on to show how our sit
uation, since the close of tho war, had
grown worse and worse; that we are
getting poorer and poorer, and referred to statistics
to prove his assertions, and that in every article of
produce there had been a diminished amount

when be is half seas over, it is needless to ask "How

middle otthe street, indulging in the following apos
trophe to Sirius, the Dog Star:
"Oh! you party shinin’ star,

What a party, purty sight!
"Right in tbe end of that purp’s nose,
A good piece off from said purp’s toes,
You are sinkiDg away so monstrous fine—
I can’t think up another line!”
The guard persuaded him to take up the "line” of
march, and the Recorder consigned him to tbe place
of departed spirits.
Astronomer No. 2 was a young man with a hole in
his "close,” found propped up against a corner post,
with one eye open and bis head cocked, was thus sere
nading the moon:
" Roll on, thou ball, roll on !
Through seas of inky air
Roll on.

It’s true my prospects all look blue.

Lizzie Hambleton accused Elmira Scott of coming
between her and her husband, and putting on airs
generally. This raised the jealousy of Lizzie, and she
raised tho old scratch with Elmira. Upon a glance at
Lizzie, tbe Court let her eff with five and costs.
Margaret Valentine, Eate Hamilton, Ella Cunning
ham and Laura Collier were composed and arranged
into a beautiful boquet of swcetscented African tulips.
They were quite a bevy of fair, freckled and lamp black
frailities who swept into Court, b.inging with
them, if not the "airs from heaven,’*
least a little of the Frangipand
the Willingham paradise. They came
all to testify as to tho indelicate remarks of
Laura Collier, a molasses colored queen, who had been
furtively and also publicly asserting her opinion of
the three other fairies who came with her. The de
tails elicited were sufficient, not only to mulct Laura

of the day by allowing the three witnesses each to pay
the same amounts.

Why this decrease in the productions of the country?
We have the same laborers, tbe same number, and
same quantity of land, with the increase! fertilizers
we every year consume. Yet, with all these things
staring us in the face, our productions have been 40
per cent, less than in 1860.
He proceeded to account for the distressed situation
of the country, and said our smoke-houses and corn-
cribs, instead of being at home, were in the North
western States, and that these States control our meat
and bread, and we are at their mercy, and have to give
them their own prices for it. He who controls your
meat and bread is your master, and yon are his slaves.
Georgians, you are slaves to-day of " middle men,”
‘corner men” and "brokers.” Ho counseled them to
plant whatever of food was necessary for subsistence
in their own fields, thereby becoming independent of
outsiders.
The number of idle negroes who infest our towns
and cities are compelled to live, and instead of work
ing and becoming producers, they are mostly thieves
and consumers.
People must go to first principles—go to work, and
raise their children to work, and let the negro go. An
entire revolution must take place on the subject of
labor, else two-thirds of the Staio would
become a howling wilderness. Already,
Southwest Georgia, people are sell
ing their rich farms, which are worth from twen
ty to fifty dollars an acre, for four and five, and mov
ing higher np the country, because there labor con
trols capital, and their lands are valueless to them
The only labor we get now is out of old negroes who
were accustomed to it, and when the next generation
of negroes come on there is no ground of a shadow of
hope for laborers.
The Governor thinks it a splendid investment for
the State to have a thorough survey and analysis made
of the entire State, so as to find out what our soil is
best adapted to, etc.
The entire speech was repleto with uncommon good
ideas, aud was most enthusiastically received by the
crowd.
Yesterday closed the second and last day of the Fair,
and we hope much substantial good may result, not
only to ths farmers of Clayton county, but to the en
tire State.

Capt. Henry Jackson, Supremo Court Reporter, r
turned on Thursday night last from the springs of
Virginia, where he has been spending several weeks.
He looks refreshed, and is evidently ready for the ar
duous duty before him of reporting the decisions of
a long session of the Court.
Cur esteemed tellow-citizen, Dr. J. 8. Pemberton,
returned to Atlanta Thursday night from Mineral Hill
Springs, where he had been for several weeks past for
the benefit of his health. We are glad to learn that
the doctor is rapidly recovering, aud that the mineral
waters have proved benefi cial to him. Although,
still, comparatively feeble, he is able to move about
and to resume attention to his business. We trust
that the doctor will soon be "himself again.”

A Gambling House.—Ladies are forbidden
to step forth within the precincts of lir. John
Morrissey’s great and elegant gambling house.
This veto was put upon the ladies by the
Young Men’s Christian Association, for the
purpose of saving the ladies and ruining the
men ; or, as would appear most clearly in sen
sible minds, for the purpose of ruining both,
for how are women to be saved if men go to
destruction? And much more certain is the
fact that sbntting the women out from any
place where men congregate is the best means
in the world to abandon it to doubtful fate. A
lady, however, went into John Morrissey’s
house the other day, and looked it over. Sho
was accompanied by a highly agreeable and
intelligent Southern gentleman, to whom she
is greatly indebted for a minute explanation of
the workings of this institution, its follies and
failings. The house is magnificent in fresco
ing, carving, furniture, cut gloss, carpets and
chandeliers, beyond anything that can proba
bly be seen in this country. The card tables
were covered, as it was very early in the
morning, so she was deprived of witnessing
the games. The most extravagant and costly
food is served here on plates of silver and
gold. The waiters are the beat trained. Jlere
is the office where the business of racing is
done, the pools bought and sold. One looks
upon tho whole thing, takes a realizing sense
of its all, and exclaims, “What an elegant
and snperb hell!”
LOCAL NOTICES.
A great Horror done «w«y with.
Home cleaning is a great horroT to nine
men men oat of every ten. When that time
comes the “men folks,” as a rule, give the
domestic hearth a “wide berth.” Oceans of
suds—tbe product of tons of soap—fairly flood
every part of the house. Tho women, from
the mistress down, labor ns they never worked
before, and what with the discomfort, the
smell of suds and the dampness, and not nn-
frequently sickness, the product oi oolds and
overwork, matters are generally disagreeable.
The simple use of Sapolio instead of soap
does sway with all thiB discomfort It light
ens the labor a hundred per cent, because it
removes dirt grease, stainH and spots, with
hardly any labor, with but little water, and in
one-tenth tbe usual time. nug8-lw
