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 But be never "misses fire,” and does up things accord ing to his notion of justice.

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.

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, J. W. MARSHALL, First Assistant Postmaster General. F. F.

The truth Is, the Treas urer just considered these Central Railroad bills, which had gotten into the treasury from the tax re turns of counties along the road, aa local money, and 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 tities. In concluding this matter, let us say, and we speak knowingly, that there ia very little of Bullockism in any of the executive departments In Atlanta just now, and less in no departments than in Professor Orr’s and Treasurer Jones.’.

An intoxicated, boisterous man from Fayette came Into town yesterday, and as soon as he struck the con fines of West End he began pouring valley tai down this throat to stimulate his coppers and get them to work. By the lime he reached tho raging thorough fare of Petera atreot he met "John” and edged him off the sidewalk. This being a free and independent colony, where one man has as much right to the pub lic domain aa another, and John having imbibed tbat idea fully before he landed here, proceeded to mount and "go through" the countryman. On being ques tioned, after the "tussle,” what it was all about, John replied, “Melican mac gettee tight—foolce round me —me put headee on him; no foolee Chinee man wid whiakee—me go to jail—dollar a dozen.” A New Party.

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, N. B. The Colonel is going to try to have two birth days > year hereafter.

Supren 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 lng. Colonel Matthews, for the defendant, spoke about forty-five minutes; Gen. Toombs one hour, and Hon B. H. Hill one houi and fifteen minutes.

John Conn ally, City Sextwn. 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 daily papers, for publication.

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? ■Will not Commissioner Orr, Treasurer Jones, i Governor Smith "rise and explain.” Crvis.

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.

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 Fire Last Ntoht.— At 12 o'clock last night a small frame building, on the corner of Decatur and Bell streets, was entirely consumed by fire. It had not been occupied for several weeks, and it was evidently the work of an incendiary. The engines arrived at the scene In time to save the adja cent buildings from the flames. The house belonged to Mr. Dan Brogan, and, we learn, was insured. 44. Financial and Commercial. Board of Trade. Mr. A C Wyly presided st the meeting of tho Board of Trade yesterday morning.

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. CENTOAL RAILROAD—ATLANTA DIVISION. Atlanta, Ga., August 16, 1873.

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. auglG-dlm M. N.
