Judge Butt, early in the day, set to work vigorously

Atlanta, Oa., September 1,1373
To the Editors of tiik Hrrald
We approve mott heartily your comments in yester
day's-paper upon the proposed M Advertising Drop
Curtain" lor DtUixe’a Opera Houa?. Vc think it a
sad comment upon the tastes of our citizens, and to be
compelled to an In the parquetto or dress circle of a
new Opera House and gsze upon a recno that is painted
upon every old fence, barn door, enclosure, Ac., is
certainly, not calculated to be a very pleasant prelude
to the scenes and acta of &nt-c »v* opera*. Ho, Ho I
We bop# Mr. DeGive will present to tka peoplo such a
ceene upon the drop curtain that would la itself
numerate the person for the price of admission; and
the Opera House la the place of all places where
expect to sea refinement and the fine art a meat beau
tifully iUu&trated. We hope, Mr. Editors, yon sill
continue to make war upon this eham and shoddy
style of music and fine arts in opm and drama.
, • Cirtzt
That’s the reason, frankly stated, why most of our
friends, the frequenters of the Police Court, take kind
ly to Cincinnati busthcad.
Teeterday morning the docket called for thirty two
cases. This is perhaps the largest Court, save one ex
ception, that has assembled this year. The Recorder
assembled himself ptomptly at ten o’clock, because
he knew that Monday was a good day for hia buairesa.
Quite a number of cases pletd guilty, by proxy, and
whoso names were not called out m Conrt. hence,
they are lost to posterity in these annals. They were
for simple druuks, drunk and disorderly and profane.
For the unpremeditated drunk cn the streets, five dol
lars were assessed, and for the latter, the stereotyped
ten and costs. About one-half of the cases were thns
disposed of, which accelerated tha business of the
Court wonderfully.
Dicey Warren waa fished out by the seine, charged
with quarreling with Fanny Hudson about the way the
latter used some of her clothes daring her last week
in prison. As soon as she was liberated, she went
home and got up a fuss with Fanny, which terminated
in her being sont back to her old quarters on the chain
gang for thirteen days, and the advice to carry her
clothes along with her.
Henry Coachman was a mere “tap” on the axle-tree
of the main vehicle, and was up for throwing rocks at
his little brother. He got off with a reprimand.
George Washington is likely to become as famous in
police history as his great father was in that of bis
country. He has net been out of tho lock up more
. than a week before he picks another quarrel and gets
in again for ton and cost*.
I Robt. Mariner trimmed his sai!s,|vrtighed anchor
and took a tack and bore down on the aforesaid George
Washington. Being a good seaman he was successful
in making George a matter of “marque and reprisal’’
and overhauled him under the bridge when ho achiev
ed a Perry victory. The court came in lor Its share
of ten and costa.
nenry Evans, for being disorderly, quarreling and
prolane language; ten and costs.
Laura Howard and Sarah Ann Crawford formed a
“ring" on Dinah Love, aud the first thing that god-
de83 knew she was “cornered” and came out second
best in a hand to hand combat. Tbo invading forces
each pay ten and costs for war materials.
E. A. Colins plead guilty to being drunk and got off
with five and costa.
L. H. Tollison was down with the same complaint,
and got off with tho like amount of greenbacks.
Mr. Townsend paid ten and coats for shying a weigh
at a negro’s head.
Dr. Borman was called, but it turned out that he
was tho wrong man in the wrong place, and after an
explanation all round ho was discharged.
[Right here the reporter would remark, that the
combined animal heat of three big fat policeman, who
leant against his desk and obstructed hia view, at the
simo timo emiting an official municipal odor, had a
good deal to do with his not seeing and hearing every
thing that was going on. The reporter does not blame
the officers for being fa?. They can’t help that. Any
naturalist will explain to you why men grow fat who
do but littlo and sleep soudly.]
The composure of the su.lieacc, just here, was dis
turbed by the rustle of brocades, the chatter of femi
nine voices, and the entrance of a levy of sylphs from
tho Shermantown district. Bewildered by so much
youth, loveliness, frapgepaui and chalk, it was some
timo before the audience could quiet its nerves. At
length sufficient tranquillity was Jrestored to proceed
with the investigation of this apjarition from the
celestial suburbs. One of the sylphides, rejoicing in
the freshness of tho nsms of Mollie May, is proprie-
tressa of a house, into which came Alcena and Lilly
Wright. Alcena soized Mias May by the substrata of
the waterfall and dragged her down upon the breathless
pave and placed her royal sand il npon the neck cf the
prostrate Empress. Just then the fair Lilly rushed
upon the stage and joined in tho assault.
Between the two Wrights Miss May-day
stood a fair chance to bo grievously wronged, when
another heroic Amazonian came to the rescue, and
swore that it was unconstitutional for two “ to get on
one." The fight might have been long, bloody and dis
astrous, but for the entrance of the police, who told
them their “ little hands were never made to tear each
other’s eyes out" The court discharged the abused
Miss May, and ficcd the other two ten and costs,
each.
Malvina Kelley and Carrie Car were room mates,
and partner’s in a first-class laundry establishment.
They occupied tho same bed, aud fell out about the
simple matter of who should make it up in the morn-
Malvina went into details of the affair, which
waa about as interesting to the g meral reader
average copy of tho Roms Courier, an I tlie court cut
the matter short by finding each ten and costs.
Julia Lackey didn’t lack the nerve to frail her seven
teen year old son, because she found some suspicious
notes in his breeches pockets from a young girl over
the way whom she didn’t like. A policeman brought
her np, but the Court dismissed her with tbo under
standing that she should “wear him out” every time
she caught him engaged in such business, which she
premised to do.
Matilda Green was verdant enough to believe that
she could inaugurate a small Abhm'.ea war, without
incurring the disfavor ol the Conrt, in which she was
set right by being fined ten dollars and costs.
Two young men, Fitzgerald aud Einslj,
for fighting, in which tha former paid $25 aud the lat
ter $15 aud costs.
An old friend and frequent visitor of tho Court,
named Grayson, who was shot to pieces during the
war, and still lives the surviving hero of many a bat
tle, on Saturday succumbed to Gen. Barleycorn, and
was overhauled by the police, drunk ou the street and
singing martial ballads, of which the only varsa re
membered was—

surrender ol our armies, and were disbanded at Au
gusta May 5, 1665.
The diabanding of the lattalion was a necessity.
Our guns and tents bod been turned over to the State
or Confederate authorities, under special order; the
buildings at Mariolta had been burned; the apparatus,
John ' library aud furniture of the Institute, which had been
removed to Miiledgeville for 6afo keeping, had been
destroyed by tho United States army, and thewondi-
tion of tho currency left the Superintendent without
the means of oven furnishing the poorest subsistence*
There was nothing ot value remaining to the Institute
but the small tract of land near Marietta, upon which
the buildings once stood.
This absolute destitution presents now the question
whether the Georgia Military Institute shall be aban
doned by the State, or some effort made for its resus
citation. If after the storm of desolation had passed
which swept away so much of the material resources
of the State, the people of Georgia had been content
to sit down m despair amidst these ruins—if nothing
had been done to restore the operations of the farm
and the but-mess and active life of her cities, the move-
meat low inaugurated would be hopeless. But Geor-
' gia lost lo time in lamentations over the losses she
Tho Public Schools.
RKOIKNED YESTERDAY—RUSH FOB BOOKS.
The various public schools in the city were re
opened yesterday morning, the glad vacation days
being over. The children all over the city seemed
just as glad, though, ot the reopening of tlie echools
as they were of vacation when it began.
The attendance yesterday at each of the schools was
very large, showing that onr people have great and in
creasing confidence in tho Atlanta Pablic School
system.
Yesterday evening there was an immense rush of
children, parents, guardians, Ac., st the various book
stores for books, maps, charts, Ac. It would have
made any man wish he owned a book store to watch
the incessant pouring of greenbacks over the counters
and Into the tills of these useful institutions. But the
children—the pleasant-faced boys and glad-eyed girls,
who are to make tho men and women of onr land, were
just as happy to get their new books as the merchant
was to get their money.
God bless the children and tho echoola.
The Code.—Our readers will perhaps remember
that some time since an affair of. honor between some
parties in this place and others in Alabama, came to
what appeared a mysterious termination. It was re
ported on the streets that the affair was not settled,
but according to some provisions of the “Code" a post
ponement was asked for and granted for the space of
forty-six days, which times expires on September 3.
We understand that the parties from this city left here
on Sunday night for tho battlefield, and perhaps iu
the course of a day or two we may hear something
further from tho affair.

H. A. Dunwoody and Penn McCatchey, E qs.,
chosen Secretaries.
The roll of those already registered was called and
those not registered came forward and gavo their !
names to the secretaries, thus completing the register j
of those present.
Tho minutes of the last meeting of ti e ex-Oodeta ,
were read and confirmed.*
Capt Milledgc explained in ^i-w pertinent remarks
the causes which led him to call this convention to
gether here instead of at Marie tta, as had been ex
pected. He invoked harmony in tlieir counsel-*;
thought no one with reasonable sense would oppose
establishment of the Georgia Military Iustitute.
There was no antagonism between this Institute and
the Colleges at Athens and elsewhere. Ho closed his
remarks amidst loud applause.
Col. Austin introduced a resolution resolving the
Convention into an Association of the Officers and ex-
Cadets of the Georgia Military Iustitute, aud exclud
ing all others from j arlicipation in the proceedings of
the Association. This resolution wai considerably
discussed, and was withdrawn.
Professor B. W. Robinson moved the appointment
of a Committeo on Organization. The following. Col.
Robertson, Capt. Stylos, Col. Freeman, Capt. Harrison,
and Julius E. Brown, Esq , were appointed oa that
committee.
Ou motion of Gen. P. M. B. Young, tbo Convention
tock a recess until the committee was ri a ly to report.

through Colonel Roberts in, submitted their report,

substituted for Colonel Brumby’s.
Colonel Lawson asked to be relieved from the secre
taryship. He was relifcvtd, aud tl.c name of Colonel
Miiner, of Bartow, was substituted.
Tho report of the committee was received and
adopted.
On taking the chair, Colonel Uanis made a very
neat little speech, thanking the convention f »r the
honor conferred on him.
On motion the convention returned thauks to C.-.pt
rescue. Tho plowshare opened again its accustomed
| furrow, the anvil and the loom gave forth once more
• the music of industry.
Here where, nluc years ago,sacked, pillaged, burned
Atlanta offered little shelter for man or beast, we find
i to-day a capital worthy the great State she so magaifi-
i ceuty adorns, within whoso noble halls we inhale in
spiring hope with every breath, and feel the exultation
of tho captive who has been suddenly released aud
joins tbo shout of victory with his friends. Our hopes
must not mislead us into undue conli lence. Many of
our citizens do not understaud the character of the
system of education adopted at the Iustitute, aud yet
others object to tbe reorganization of the Institute, os
if that measure would bo taken agaiust the interests of
peace. "Have we not peace ail over tho land?" we
arc asked. We thank Qod for peace, but wo kuow how
truly tho poet sings of
“Peace in the woodland aud the lonely glen,
Made rankly fertile by the blood of men."
The world is not so perfectly at re*t that no clouds
are visible in any patt of its political horizon. If it
was so aLd peace reigued supremo everywhere the
counsel of Washington would still have force, and it
would be well “in time of p«ace to prepare for war.”
When the strength which can maintain our rights is
added to the intelligence which ascertains what they
are, might and right move on together compelling
respect. Who can foresee the exigencies of the future ?
It may be that the military knowledge acquired in
boyhood under the regulation of a military, academic
life will be useful to the student; or it may be that
he will scarcely have completed his course before he
| is summoned to tbo field.
| In cither event, lie is individually benefitted, for it
j is claimed that tbe course of studies and system of
j discipline which Las heretofore been adopted for tho
! Georgia Military Institute, is eminently practical, pe-
j culiarly adipted to tbe. preccnt wants of onr people.
: This will appear in tbe inexpemdvenegs of the school,
the physical training enforced by its laws and rogula
i tion3 aud tho habits of economy, hoalthful exercise
and industry, super in luced by tbe daily routine of
academical duties. Consider tho opening of the
| day at tho Institute. Follow the Cadet
' through tlie exercises of a day and you will
find that by systematizing the duties of the student
! under regular discipline, tho greatest amount of
I mental labor is secured without a tax upon the physi
cal construction, while iu all moral ami social respects
this discipline abounds in poetical lessons of cdura-

Facts For Advertisers*
We deeiro io imprets upon the merchants of Atlanta
and advertisers generally the value ol the Herald as
an advertising medium. We know we do not exag
gerate when we assert thst it is by all odds the best
medium through which to reach the people of Georgia,
South Carolina, Alabama aud Eaat Tennessee. In
these States, taken together, it has no equal in circula
tion. However, we don’t propose to boast, but me-e-
ly to publish facts.
The following note from our pressman is the first
wo shall present.
Herald Pbe&s Roo*s, September 1,1873.
Proprietors of the Herald:
In reply to yonr Inquiry, I assert, aud am ready to
make legal affidavit to the assertion, that iu tho
PAST THREE MONTHS,
the actual, permanent increase in tho subscription of
the Daily Herald bos been over
one thousand copies;
that it ha« increased rapidly ever since I came here,
and never so rapidly as in the past few weeks. In all
my years of experience as a pressman, I never saw
anything to at all approach the magical growth of the
Heuald's circulation. Very respectfully,
8am. P. Vells, Pressman.
When it is renumbered that the last three months
have barn by all odds the very dullest of the year, an
increase of about one hundred daily subscribers a
week, is a thing almost incredible; especially when
consider the unparalleled dullness of tho season.
But we stand back to let the people talk. We take a
few letters from our letter book, covering (partially
only) three days mail:

General George P. Harrison.—This gentl
and an ex-cadet, was yesterday elected President of
the Convention. He is, at present, a citizen of Auburn, J dollars for the Weekly Herald,
and one of tho most enterprising and progressive men
of East Alabama. The Gene ral has a brilliant Confed
erate record, which, added to his genial spirit aud
handsome features, reuder him a general favorite
amongst bis old comrades. Ho is yet young in years
aud his future career W’ill be doubtless w’reathed with
the honors which ever attend a useful and well spent
life.

j Tlie dignity and trust involved iu public office, tlie
• moral ccurago requiaite to perform its duties, the
| ultimate security of discharging these duties without
j fear of favor, the virtue of self-denial for a common
{advantage, have daily illustrations under its laws,
i The very uniform has educational value. Tho entire
I dress from tho cap to tho shoo is prescribed by regti-
| lotion, and thns neatness can be enforced without fur
nishing a pretext for extravagant expenditure. The
j plainness of the suit or its quality being o roquire-
j meut of law, pride in dross is precluded, and pride of
j character substituted in its steal. The beneficiary
j and the son of the wealthiest patiou of the Institute
j woro the Banic clothing, performed tlie same duties,
j and were amenable to tlie same laws. Merit only gavo
i distinction.
With such claims upon public favor, the forinor
patrons, friend*, graduates and officers, professors
and cadet j ask tlie restoration of the Georgia Military
Institute.
They rejoice to know that Georgia has resumed her
place among the Stales, not torn and dishevelled, but
from tho seaboard to the mountains within and
without the fiery path of civil war, clothed iu her
prestinc strength. Of all the jewels of State that
decked her noble brow in former days, but one is
lacking, or rather let us say there is but one unrepre
sented jewol there, for tho ornament remains and
must remain forever. The memory of the Georgia
Military Institute is uupcrichahl-j while Georgia lisa a

want to see her restored to her former glory. Some

frightened fallows submitted to the hollow mockery of

asked if sho was not the mother of a child; whan she
innocently replied that she waa. *»How old Is it?”

Is not education needed iu Georgia? But a few years
ago this chamber was filled by those who wrapped
arcund them tho cloak of patriotism, to hiilethoir acts
of vice. Thank God, it was now again filled with hon'
cat men, and honesty filled the Executive Chair. This
is the merert outline of his rtmarks.
General F. W. Capers after a motion lo adopt the
resolutions seriatem, had been made and seconded,
addressed the convention.
* He spoke of the past of tho Institute: said it had a
glorious record which he wanted to see put on papor.
Ho spoke of General I’. M. B. Young a« one of the
elder brothers of tho Cadets whose red plumo bad
already led on to glory. General Capers remarked
that thought did not flow frcc-ly when feeling was so
intense as his was on tho present occasion* He refer
red to tbo disbanding of the Cad at Lattalion in Au
gnats, in May, 1865—of tholr lajt scrvicos; read tbe
last order Issued to them, which was also (lie last
order issued to Southern soldiers east of tho Missis
sippi; spoke of tho honorable manner in which Capt
Jno. Milledge diuchargcd duty imposed on him at that
time and place of guarding tho Confederate commissa
ry stores from the ravages of disbanded Confederate
troops, of the panic in Augusta on account of tlie great
number of auch disbanded troopa there, aud of tho
services of the Cadet battalion in preserving ordei*-
then of tho nolle set of George Coleman, who sur
rendered liis 11 igatkfT, but first cut off
the banner, and folding it, placed it in bis
bosom, buttoned his vest over it. and said, “D—n tho
man who unbuttons that vest.’’ “Ah,” said the Gen-
crat, “ Wo shall ace that banner again ! ”
Ho was frequently greeted with loud and continu
ous applause. He concluded by reading to the con
vention the following brief liintory of tho Ooorgia
Military Institute:
Tbe Georgia Military Instituto was founded and
first organized by Col. A. V. Brumby.
At his instance, in 1851, a joint stock company was
formed and tbe Institute chartered as a MHilary Col
lege under the control of a board of trustees. Tb e
land and buildings remained tho property of Colonel
Brumby and his associates until 1857, when tho eotiro
establishment waa purchased by tho Stato and appro
priations mado for tbe erection of additional buildings
and to procure apoarstns for Ihe scientific departments
of instruction. In addition to the board of trustors
a board of visitors was appointed at each session of
tha Legislature, who reported to them directly npon
the affairs of the Institute. From this lime tbe Insti
tute became in all respects a Stato College.
Tbe organization at present provided for in tlio
Code of Georgia, waa Uio result of Legislation recom
mended in tho annual message of the Governor in
1859.
The regutalions prescribing the courso of itudiea
bitious hope of preferment led them on. They fought
and died for the altars and the firesides around which
clustered au aged father or mother or gentle sisters.
What more fitting monument could the 8 ate erect to
the memory of their dead than to rebuild the Institute
in which they were trained; its corner stone inclosing
their gathered remains, inscribing their names among
tho heroic dead, with the motto, “ We lie here at the
command of Georgia, which our hearts delighted to
obey.”
The’qneetion ou the adoptiou of the rcsolutiooe
ported by the committee ou business being about to
bo put, Colonel A. V. Brumby, tbe founder and firet
superintendent of the Institute, arose, a* lie said, not
to make a speech, but to iccito a few plain
facts. Ho was about to go to Minrisrippl to
found a Military Institute when be hap-
ucued to meet Judge Iverson and Col Foutalu who
insisted that Georgia was tbe State to establish it in.
lie visited various towns; finally visited Marietta; a
joint stock company waa organized through the efforts
of Judge Irwiu, General Hansel!, Governor McDonald
and others, with a capital of $<;,0C0. Colonel Robert
son and himself were with tho Instituto front the
very first.
They were several years get ting the 8tate to buy the
Instituto. Tho plan tfhs to got the strong men of tho
State impressed with the importance of tho subject.
He urged ihoso present not to let one, two oi any
number of failures discourage them. Tha Instituto
must bo re-cstablisbed. As It was uow time to ad
journ, Colonel Austin moved to adjourn. General Will
iam Phillips asked leave to withdraw the motion for a
momcut,aad informodthe Convention that the citizens
of Marietta had instructed him to tend r the hospital!,
ties of that city to the Convention, and to urgo them to
visit the site of their Alma Mater, if for only one day.
On motion, yf Capt. John Milledge, the thank* of
the Convention wore tendered tho ciflzons of Marietta
for this kind invitation, and Wednesday waa designated
as tho day on which it would bn accop’ed.
On motion, tbo Committeo adjourned till ten o’clock
Tuesday (this) morning, at which hour the resolutions
reported by the Businoss Committeo will be tbe order
of business.

But we forbear. Wo could positively fill two col
umns of this paper with such letter*, but the above
will surely auffico. Wo would call sttcution to tbe
fact thst nearly every letter published is from some
man who orders tho paper for some ono eke. When
a man reads the Herald ho becomes an ngeut for it.
Whou it is remembered thst in addition to subscribers
received daily by mail, we have three capital agents
traveling al) the time, aud another who doee nothing
bat work up tbe oily subscription, it is very easy to de
termine the value of tbe Hvrald to mat seeking to
control a share of tha Fall trade.

A Word to Working People of both Sexes.
Mechanics, artisans, factory hands, and peo
plo who labor for a living, find it very difficult
if not impossible to keep thoir hands free from
stain. Hand Sapolio will not only remove
every particle of stain, and what is call
ed "grained iu dirt,” but it will also keep the
skin soft aud pliable, rendering the muscular
action as quick and easy as is the case with
those who do not perform Laud labor. It is
only 10 aud 15 cents a cake, uccording to size.
Every mechanic should use it constantly, in
place of all other so aps. % ®ep*2
All lovers of Turtle Soup must go to
