It always frets the Mayor to be compelled to go
down and preside at the levee when old T. and C. is
not on band. As before stated, the Mayor is one of
the kindest and best-hearted men on the American
continent, but there is a limit even to that. He loves
to hold court if nobody would go; but when the house
is full, and big lawyers (on a small scale) are hanging
around to annoy the proceedings, it is extremely em
barrassing to the Mayor, and he had rather be out

Dr. Barry, it was resolved that Jack had taken a vil

Letter from Fort Valley.
Fobt Valley, August 13,1673.
To the Editors of the Herald :
A most outrageous piece of impertinence and scoun-
dreliam was perpetrated ndar this place last night, by
a negro, in entering the room and bed chamber of
old and most estimable lady. Her screams put the
scoundrel to flight, and a party are in pursuit with
prospects of overhauling the amorous subject
Very little news of interest in this locality. Crops
generally laid by and may be set down as "good,”
both the staff of life and the fleecy staple.
Correspondent.
"A spray of ‘climbing roses,’
Within a slender glass.
Stands on the table near me.
Where summer winds can pass
Lightly over the blossoms
To catch their sweet perfume.
So as to fling it here and there
Throughout my quiet room.”
The flinging it nere and there was what caased the
aforesaid beats to complain. John lay down and
looked at the stars. He wondered which particular
star his "pie” was locking at and thinking of him,
when au officer gracefully approached, and taking
Sprayberry by the collar, raised him to a sitting pos
ture, and as be inarched off be chanted—
"Oh, ‘berry’ in the keep blue sea.”
At present John is buried in an immense pile of blue-
stone rocks, studying the formation of the upper
strata of the boulders with which this section abounds.
Tom Turner and Mary Turner are not related to the
German Turn Vereins, but the way they turn up old
Nick at their domicil is heartrending. Tom married a
widow. She had a fashion which is too common
among ladies who have a buried man—of giving him
glowing accounts of the angelic virtues of the dear
departed. As Tom belonged to the Good Templars*
he could noc drown his sorrows in liquor, so he nerved
his soul to take s terrible revenge. One night when
Mary was sleeping soundly, perhaps dreaming of the
"first” victim of her charms, he arose from his bed,
took a sledge hammer, and deliberately raising it to
his shoulders, he marched to the graveyard and
smashed the tombstone of his rival into little bits. The
next day when she said something about the virtues of
the dead man. he replied: " It may be all very true,
old gal; but he can’t smash my tombstone. There’!
where I’m ahead.” This brought the domestic affairs
into public notice, and they each got ten and costs.
The Mayor argued the case with them, with the fol
lowing result:
"I am so sorry.”
"No yon are not.”
We are permitted to publish the following corres
pondence, whi.h is of vital interest to every mer
chant of Atlanta. It will explain itself.
Atlanta, August 9,1873.
Hon. J. A. J. Cresswcll, Postmaster General, Wash
ington, D. C.:
Dear Sir—Under the new Postal Law which went
into effect July 1st, 1873, all drop letters require a
2 cent stamp.
Our woithy Postmaster Mr. Jas. L. Dunning, insists
that all postal cards deposited in this office for city
delivery, require an additional 1 cent stamp. In
other words he says that a postal card put in the At
lanta office there becomes a drop letter, and must pay
an additional 1 cent stamp.
Will you kindly give me your interpretation of the
law on the subject.
Very respectfully, etc.,
F. F. Coulter,
Agent Southern Express Company.
Post-Office Department, )
Washington, D. C., August 12,1873. f
Sir—Your letter of the 9th Inst. is received. The
Postmaster of your city is in error in supposing that a
postal card deposited in his offico for city delivery is
subject to an additional charge of one cent The
stamp impressed upon the card covers*!ts transmission
by mail from one office to another, or its delivery In
the city where cnailod, as the address may indicate.
The law fixing the postage on drop letters at two
cents the half ounce or fraction thereof at letter car
rier offices, does not apply to postal cards.
The Postmaster of Atlanta will be instructed in ac
cordance herewith.
Very respectfully,

urer just considered these Central Railroad bills,
which had gotten into the treasury from the tax re

desired to scatter it in those localities where it was
most genuinely correct. "Ciria” is mistaken, though,
in assuming that it is “a depreciated currency” here.
It passes dollar for dollar in Atlanta In ordinary quan

In concluding this matter, let us say, and we speak
knowingly, that there ia very little of Bullockism in

Present, Dr. Pinckney, Dr. McFaill and Dr. Thomp-
with wine sauce; spiced Recorder cake; ice cream a
la Ten and Coats; Hammock fritters cooked in poetry,
and in fact all the delicacies of the season. The
evening passed off as sweet as could be, and the
Colonel was so hilarous when we left him, (about
thras o'clock), that It is probable he will take a deeper
totoreet in the doings of the Recorder this morning
than be ever did in his life before.
It was voted by all hands the finest tea-party that
baa been to town this month. The costumes particu
larly were very fine. The Colonel himself was attired
in a gold-headed pencil, a copy of the Herald (cut
bias, with Christian Index trimmings) and stockings
beautifully ornamented with open lace work in front.
Ia addition, if we mistake not, he had on one spur.
One of the guests, in compliment to the paper that
the Colonel illumines at so much s week (and board)
bad a beautiful special engine tattooed on his noble
sheet; and, oppositely, another engine tattooed on his
hack to represent the "coming on” spirit of the other
paper. Altogether, it was a recherche affair. Quite a
credit both to Col. Moore and his late lamented friend,

Tbs principal arguments in the Dupree will case
from Oglethorpe county, were made on yesterday in
tbs Supreme Court, and attracted great attention.
The court room was crowded with spectators during
the day, eager to hear the able and elaborate argn-
■seats of counsel on either side. The argument was
commenced on Thursday, occupied the whole of ycatei
day, and will be concluded this morning. The speeches
wars magnificent, replete with logical diction and
ihetoricsl grass. The case was argued for the plain
tiff in errsr toy Colonel C. Peeples and Colonel John C
Be!d. Colonel Peeples opened the case in an argu
ment of one hour and a half. Colonel Reid, in con
clusion for the same side of the case, had spoken
about one hour when the Court adjourned. He will
conclcde on the reassembling of the Court this morn

Colonel Matthews, for the defendant, spoke about
forty-five minutes; Gen. Toombs one hour, and Hon
B. H. Hill one houi and fifteen minutes.
This case is before the trit unal of last retort for the
third time, and will prove an important cue in cur

This shows an increase of two deaths over last week,
and also the mortality of the whites to be greater than
the colored, for the first time this year.
The Marshal being present, called the attention of
the Board to the fact that quite a large Dumber of
stalo watermelons were being offered for sale upon
the streets and sidewalks.
On motion oi Dr. Thompson it was unanimously re
solved, that while the Board deplores the presence of
such s collection of cholera material in the city, yet
in view of the fact tbat our recommendations have
been so utterly ignored by Council heretofore, our
self-respect forbids that we should now take any ac
tion whatever in the premises.
Dr. Pinckney, tbs Chairman, offered the following
resolutions relative to the death of Dr. Pegg, late Sec
retary of the Board, which were adopted unanimously:
Whereas, The hand of death has suddenly fallen
upon all that was mortal of Dr. W. H. Pegg, late mem
ber and secretary of the Board of Health—a dignified
Christian gentleman, a useful physician and member
of society—in tbe prime of life, in the midst of his
usefulness, and while in the active discharge of his
duties m a City Physician of Atlanta; therefore,
Resolved, That In the death of Dr. W. H. Pegg, this
Board has lost one of its most competent members,
whose wise counsels and sound prset'eal advice upon
all matters perlaining to the sanitary interests of the
city have not only Imbued us with great respect for
bis memory, bat contributed in no smell degree to the
welfare of Atlanta.
Resolved, That in token of the high estimation in
which the late Dr. Pegg was held by this Board, a page
npon the record be inscribed to his memory.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent
to the family of tbe deceased, to whom our warmest
sympathy 1c this sad affliction is hereby extended;
and that additional copies be fnrnished the Atlanta

To the Editors of the Herald:
A recent Circular from the State School Commis
sioner of Georgia, informs the County School Com
missioners that the Apportionment of School Funds
for their respective counties for the present year, is
nowin the State Treasury and ready for distribu
tion.
This same Circular informs tho County School Com
missioners that Mr. E. Orr, son of State School Com
missioner, and a member of the firm of O'r & Lewis, at
Atlanta, from the benevolence of his heart, and for
the purpose of saving tbe County School Commis
sioners any unnecessary expenses, will co’lect from
the State Treasury, the amounts due to the diff.rent
count!, s ana forward by express to them, for the
11 fee of fifty cents per each five hundred dollais
collected, upon their giving to him a Power of Attor
ney, and pay the express charges on the money re
mitted. So far 60 good.
Now for the bit of sharp practice. The School Com
missioner of this county, having availed himself of
the apparently liberal offer of Mr. E. Orr, sent him a
Power of Attorney, to collect and forward to him
$8,143 68.
Under date of August 9, 1873, he is informed by
Messrs. Orr and Lewis, that "the State Treasurer will
only pay the School Fund in Central Railroad Fare
Bills,” (a depreciated currency in Atlanta,) "and they
want to know whether he vtfc* County Oommiseionsr
will receive it in that currency, and if he wiil not take
the whole of it, what amount he will.)
Now, Washington county, like every other county in
the State, has paid her State Tax in "good and lawful
money,” such aa United States currency and National
Bank Bills, and it is rather perplexing to learn, that
the Stale Treasurer, should want to palm off a depre
ciated currency, or rather Railroad Fare Tickets,
upon the teachers of the 8tate, whose hard earnings
to many of them is the small pittanco allowed by the
State.
Has Bullock-ism so permeated Borne of her State
officials (ev en Democrats, so called) that they can nof
execute s simple money transaction without its having
the taint of swindle and corruption about 11?

Professor—Well, in the first place, the card says that
the same circular that Informed the commissioners
that their money was ready, contained a business pro*
position from Messrs. Orr k Lewis. This is false.
That was an official paper, and I should not have
allowed it to be prostituted to any personal or private
uses. It is true tbat Mr. Lewis is a clerk in my do
pertinent and I believe he did send out with these cir
culars a printed "Powor of Attorney,” proposing if
this Power of Attorney was given to him to collect the
money on It and ship It at a reasonable expense. You
know the Qovernor requires that a Power of Attorney
ia fact shall be given by the Commissioner to some
one before he can collect hie money, unlese he oomes
after it himself. These Powers of Attorney were of
course printed separately, st the oxpenae and by the
order of Messrs. Orr and Lewis.

We learn from General A. H. Colquitt that all articles
intended for the county exhibitions of the coming
SUte Fair at Macon will be transported to and from
that city free of charge, by the following named rail
road companies:
The Central Railroad and branches; the Macon and
Western; the Southwestern; the Muscogee; the Geor
gia Railroad aud branches; tho Western and Atlantic;
the Macon and Brans wick; the Macon and Augusta,
and the Atlanta and West Point.
Tbs articles enumerated in the list are those for
which premiums are offered for "the county which,
through its society or club shall furnish.the largest and
finest display, in marit and rarity of stock, products
and results of home industry, all raised, produced or
manufactured in the county.”
General Colquitt informs ua that he has not beard
from the other railroads yet, but he has no doubt that
all In the Stats will transport the articles to and from
Macon free of charge. County clubs and societies
ought to go to work vigorously now and get up as big
displays as they can.
The Concxbt at Concordia Hall.—The concert
for the benefit of 8h Luke’s Church, given by Mrs.
Murray, assisted by several of her scholars, came off
last night st Concordia Hall. Although the audience
was not as large as it ought to have been nnder the
circumstances, nevertheless the attendance was fair.
Of course we cannot be expected to criticise s concert
given by amateurs, as we would one given by profes
sionals; but on the whole, tbe performance was very
creditable, the singing and playing eliciting hearty
applause, while encores and boquets testified, to the
appreciation of the andience of the pieces rendered by
the two young lady singers.

The drill ground of the Cadets was fringed yester
day twenty deep with one of the largest and most
brilliant crowds that has been gathered in Atlanta in
many a day. All to witness the drill contest for tbe
rad plumeship of the Company.
Thd drill commenced in squads of four, Captain
Mllledge, Mr. Joe Thompson, aud Col. Weems, being
the judges. They selected the beet man out of each
squad of four, and then pitted these "best men”
against each other. Of this picked Bquad three—
Cadets Rhodes, Magill and Guilford—were selected as
the best. These three were put through a severe test,
and after a long consultation, Cadet Magill was select
ed as the victor, with Cadet Guilford aa a close sec
ond. The three would have "tied,” but for the mis
apprehension of one or two orders by Rhodes and
Guilford. Cadet Warlick waa taken sick before he
had his trial, aud had to leave the grounds. Cadets
Peters, Dykmsn, Beck, McCandless and Peters dis
tinguished themselves by accurate drill. The dress
parade was very fine, and the general appearance of
the Company very excellent. Atlanta is proud of her
Cadets.
After drill was over, Capt. Milledge stepped to the
front. The Captain said: "It has been a matter of
great difficulty to decide between the members of this
eompany, as so many evinced a proficiency in the
drill. Matters of the same general Interest produce a
feeling that can only be centralized by the exhibition
of superior manual training; but when so many men
of known proficiency were the contestants, the diffi
culty was more than apparont, and the decision was
only the result of consultation and a judication upon
the issue above manifested. We hope tbat when cir
cumstances may arise of a character requiring an ex
hibition of gallantry on your part, you may be compe
tent to tho emergeuoy. You may iu some future con
test lose tho prize that is swarded you in this. Wo
hope onr award will be satisfactory to all.

An Act of Cruelty.
Chapped hands and face are the most serious
annoyances that farmers, and people who la
bor much ont of doors, experience from ex
posure. Exposed persons, especially children,
repeatedly suffer intensely from great cracks
upon the hands, that often bleed. It is
cruel to allow one’s self or others to suffer in
this way, when the means of positive preven
tion are so easy to be had, and so cheaply,
as to pay ten cents for a cake of Hand Sapo-
lio. Hand Sapolio is not only better than the
costliest soap for removing dirt, but it pre
vents chapping, and renders the skin soft
and pliable. Sold everywhere.
