We understand that four colored sen called for beer at tbe beer saloon of Messrs. Stern & Marks, ou College Avenue, one evening re ceiitiy, and being refused, applied to Justice Herrington for a warrant for tbe arrest <»! be parties for alleged violation of tbe eivn rights act. This being refused, they threat ened to employ Col. Farrow to secure tbeii so called “ rights.” Iuasmucb as beer saloon.- are neither •• inns, common earners, theatres or other places of amusement,” wo presume tbat it will be a long time before Col. Farrow •>r aiiy other man wbo kuows anything about tbe provisions of tbe act iu question will un dertake to recover damages for refusing to sell beer. Why, even Beast Butler gives up that bar-rooms aro not embraced iu tbe civil lights law. For tbe credit of tbe colored people of Atb nus—most of whom have conducted tbemseli c.- with much propriety since tho surrender—wc regret tbat ibis thing occurred, and hope tba yvo may not have to record another case like it. Colored men, like white men, should fee above thrusting themselves iuto places when? they are unwelcome. A proper self-respect requires tbis at their baDds, no matter wbai tbe statute law of tbe laud may permit them to do.

There is an r.rtisttc excel lent- about them that vies with the best of Ka-tern work, and we are glad to bear that Mr Davis’ efforts to give our people modern pictures are appreciated, as his rooms are con stantly filled tvith admiring patrons. Hart Superior Court Was in session last week—bis honor Judge Pottle presiding. Tbis is the second Court of tbo Northern Circuit we have visited this Spring.- We are pleased to fiad that Judge P. presides with tnueb dignity and preserves duo decorum. Wo believe be gives full satis faction to tbe bar and people of bis circuit. We left Thursday morning, at which time the most important case of the term, involving seven or eight thousand dollars worth of real estate, had ndt been disposed of. Messrs Hester, Edwards. Shannon and Os born of Eltiert, Cots. Matthews and Lu up kin, of Oglethorpe, and tbo veteran Col. Nash, of Madison, were present, in addition to tbo aide local bar.

When declining to claim these privileges accorded by tbe civil rights bill tbe colored people are not, therefore, sacrificing auy of their •• rights," lor no man has a “ right” to force himself Into company where he is net wanted. An Excellent Photograph. We find on our table a capital picture from tbe gallery of Mr. Davis, entitled “Editors Georgia University Magazine Debating MSS.” The likeness of the five young gentlemen are not only striking, but tbero is a charming na turalness about the picture, which proves that Mr. D. is an artist of skill and taste. Those desiring elegant pictures will do well to give hitu a trial. Hartwell Improving. Wo yvere pleased to observe many evidences f improvement in U..rtwell. Among other things. that town can boast one of the most nourishing schools iu tho up country, under the supervision of Mr. and Mrs Looney, who have acquired a high reputation as instruc- Preventlon of Cruelty to Animals.

S. M. Hunter, Chairman Executive Committee. Hail Storm. Tbis city was visited by a storm of rain and bail on Saturday afternoon, which, though in ferior to those recorded in various parts of tbe Stale several days earlier, was yet a very re speetable hail storm. We did not see any large bail stones, but are assured that some ns large ns partridge eggs were observed From the direction of the cloud, we should no l>e surprised to learn that Madison and Hurt counties had another visitation. Late Blooming. This is the 22<1 day of March—the day after Palm Sunday—and only a few pencil trees are in bloom Tbe remainder, amounting to fully three fourths, show signs of blooming shortly We have never known plums and pennhes s > late before. It may betoken a good fruit, year or a l.iilure, we don't know whieh. If the Easter full moon brings the last killing frost, as some assert is always the case, we shall probably have an abundance of fruit this year, as next Sunday will lie Easter, and llw fruit is not sufficiently advanced to be entirely killed.

A violent storm of rain, hail and wind visit ed the Southern portion of Hart county Sun day evening, the 14’b instant. Tbe hail stones were the largest we ever h jard of. Some per sons described them as being of the size of guinea eggs, others said they were as large as hen eggs, and some three or four declared the largest were the sizo of a man’s list! We met with gentlemen tho next day who were ex posed to the " pitiless pollings ” of the storm who assured us that they were then quite s ire from the bruises received. The heavy rains of that and the following (lav had the effect of raising the streams so that they could not be forded.
