Kccorder'o Court.
W. P. Shelley, plain, paid $2 50 for
fracturing the 18th section.
For a similar offence, Henry Shefton,
colored, paid a similar penalty.
And then the Court adjourned.
Obey the Summons.
A female witness, who had been sum
moned in a case before the Recorder
yesterday, failed to appear. A warrant was
issued, which will probably cause her
appearance at that tribunal this morning.
The Mechanics of Augusta.
No city can attain a position of true in
| dependence without the culture of the
mechanic arts. That diversity of employ
ments, and that energy and perseverance
which belong to the industrial portion of
i the community, are altogether necessary to
develope the resources and hasten the pro
gress and growth of any city.
1 Few cities in the Union, probably, can
boast of more skilful or industrious mechan
ics than our own. The facilities formanu
factming almost all articles of prime neces
sity in our midst, arc equal to those afforded
iu any other quarter; and the unusual pro
portion of thrifty, prosperous and energetic
mechanics in Augusta is but the natural
result of the advantages afforded by the
position of the city and the resources of the
surrounding country. The interests of the
property holders and the men of capital arc
so intimately connected with those of the
industrial portion of our city, that it is as
tonishing that any articles, that can be pro
duced at home, should be imported from
other and distant markets.
The sooner we begin to encourage our
own manufactures the sooner will we be
benefitted not only in a pecuniary point of
view, but in an independence of the pro
ducts of distant marts. All that our home
manufacturers require, in order to compete
successfully with those of other sections, is
a liberal and extended patronage. There
are at the present time mechanics and
manufacturers of various kinds in our city,
struggling manfully not only to earn an
honest livelihood, but to build up establish
ments which ornament and improve the
city, and which, if encouraged as they should
be, will give rise to others, ultimately giv
ing us importance as a manufacturing as
well as a commercial city. Such establish
ments, whether on a large or small scale,
should be liberally patronized. It is our
interest to do so—and the day will come
when wc may well feel proud that our
patronage, whether little or much, was
made conducive to their growth and in
crease.
The situation of Augusta is highly favor
able to the establishment of manufactories
and their successful operation. Placed iu
the heart of a producing country, and
Connected by railway with the interior, trade
,P*>ecessarily attracted to its market, and
manufactured articles, as well as other
commodities, are either supplied to traders
from domestic establishments or from more
distant points through the storehouses of our
business men. Augusta might become the
centre of business for almost every article,
which could be manufactured here, from a
steam engine or a cotton gin to a plow or a
shovel. There is always a demand for such
articles—why should they not be produced
at home ?
Trade alone cannot build up a city,
-lanufactures must be combined with it to
P'ace the prosperity of Augusta upon a sure
a °d lasting foundation. Encourage, then,
J°ur practical mechanics—men who bear
the heat and burden of the day—the in
ustrious and enterprising sons of Hercules,
"ho contribute most to the growth and
I msperity of the city and enhance the value
■ others’ property, while adding to that of
‘eir own. All who desire the prosperity of
ogusta should encourage the development
0 the mechanical wealth of the city.
A Warning. ;
The recent telkible explosion of the
boilir of a fire engine in Now York, killing
a largo number and injuring many inore )
is a warning to public authorities every
where to appoint none but competent
engineers, notwithstanding political con
siderations and the recommendation of
friends; it is a warning to engineers to
attend faithfully to their duties and sec
that the boilers are well supplied with
water, when the water gets low, as
was done in this case, and not to run
cold water on to the hot plates before us ;
and it is a warning to people to keep out
of the way, and not go where they have no
business and can do no good. The childish
curiosity of many people has cost them
their lives, as it did in this instance. In
cases of riot or any disturbances of the
peace, the innocent as often suffer as the
guilty, if not oftener. Misdirected blows
and stray shots seem to have ah attraction
for the curious bystanders, In the case of
the Astor House riot, years ago, and of
the more recent draft riots in New York,
the bullets designed for the offenders in
numerous instances missed the mark and
hit the inoffensive lookers-on. It is always
safe to mind one’s own business ; and the
old adage says, “discretion is the better
part of valor ;” while every one must
acknowledge the force of the injunction to
keep out of bad company. Wc arc told
Eden was lost to the human family by an
overweening curiosity ; and wc have alnjosj
daily evidence of the loss of individual life
by the same cause-
Tlio Times. sJFSsF
The industrial interests of the country
have for some time been greatly depressed ••
This has elicited lengthy discussions as to
the cause of our trouble, and there has been
no end to the remedies proposed by financial
and commercial experts. When a physician
undertakes to prescribe for a patient, the
first (thing ho does is to ascertain the cause
of the trouble. If successful iu this, he is
generally successful in his treatment; but
otherwise, his medicine is liable to operate
badly.
It is argued that business is dull because
money is scarce. This is simply putting the
carl before the horse. The correct way to
state the question is, that money is scarce
because business is dull, and credit below
par.
What, then, is the matter? We have had
too much bone and sinew in the cities, and
not enough in the fields. In other words,
our trading and consuming population has
been greatly out of proportion to our pro
ducing population.
The way out of our trouble is not through
financial legislation or makeshifts of any
kind, but through hard work that will, under
the favor of Pi'ovidence, cause the fields to
blossom and bring forth abundantly the food
necessary to the support and comfort of man.
The young men who spend their time in
street corners will accomplish nothing in the
work of recovery; nor will the surplus men
employed in trading or standing behind
counters. These must be starved into the
country, while to the farmers we must look
for that work which will give strength to the
foundations of business by increasing the
supply, and thereby cheapening the price of
food.

Slia.de Treco.
Our city will compare most favorably, in
the matter ol beautiful shade trees, with any
on the continent. We confess to a thrill of
real gratification, and a sense of obligation,
when passing along our pleasant thorough
fares, for this movement towards beautifying
and adorning the city, but more especially
for its influence as a sanitary measure, and
as a source of enjoyment to pedestrians in
the protection to be afforded from the burning ,
rays of the sun.
Nothing is more hazardous than exposure
to the fierce rays of our Summer sun, and a
thousand diseases are engendered by getting
one’s blood in a boiling heat, iwhich out
salubrious shade trees measurably prevent.
Beside all this, there is a moral power about
fine trees not the less real because it steals
in upon the soul with imperceptible sug
gestiveness, and inspires thoughts and feel
ings scarcely recognized at the moment, and
never traced to the source. The nearer to
nature men can get, the purer, the belter,
and the stronger they become.
Precisely.
Detractors and backbiters are the very
vermin of society. Pity that we have not
some moral magnetic powder to exterminate
the creatures, swelling with their envious,
spiteful venom, who, having no force for
anything good or great iu themselves, seek (
by insinuation, or a roll of the eyes, or a
shrug of the shoulders, to diminish the fame
of a neighbor! What is there so vile as the
sneaking slanderer ? The man who can not
advance, excepting by tearing down the
reputation of his fellow man, should be shut
out from all respectable association.

SPEECHES
OF PRESIDENT CONLEY AND
speaker McWhorter.
Ou ascending the platform (July 4th),
Hon. Benj. Conley, President of the Senate
of Georgia, spoke as follows :
Senators —I have to return my grateful
acknowledgments for the honor you have
conferred upon me, and to assure you of my
deep appreciation of the importance of the
functions which have devolved upon me by
your choice.
Conscious of the arduous duties of the
position, I have to ask your coOperation in
their performance, and your indulgent judg
ment whenever I should fail to fulfil your
expectations.
We have met tinder circumstances such as
have surrounded no previous Legislature in
Georgia ; a large portion of our people, who
have hitherto been held in a state ot bond
age and inferiority, have been admitted to a
participation in the Government. Diverse
opinions prevail as to the propriety, the
rightfulness and the wisdom of the policy
which has conferred the ballot and the right
to choose their law makers upon this class of
our population. But however it has been
done, or by whose volition, the fact remains
irrevocable and irreversible. And the day is
not far distant when no party will desire to
have what has been done, undone; when
one political party shall be as eager as the
other to obtain votes, no matter from what
quarter, and to conciliate voters, no matter
ot what complexion.
Republicans have already acknowledged
the great principle that every man has a
right to participate in a government insti
tuted for the benefit of every man, and it is
to be hoped that the doctrine will soon find
none to gainsay it.
The convening of this Legislature marks
the dawn of a new day in the history of tbe
State*, and it depends'much on you, Sena
tors, whether it shall be an era of progress,
enlightenment and prosperity, or one of
continued gloom, confusion and depression.
It will be for you, in conjunction with the
other branch of the Legislature, atid with
the Executive, to decide whether the yast
resources of the State shall remain unpro
ductive and unemployed, or whether the
blight, brought upon us by the war and its
causes, shall disappear before a new and
more vigorous growth. Let me exhort you,
then, by wise, economical and yet liberal
legislation, to give impulse to enterprise,
security to property, and stability and effect
iveness to law—laying aside, iu the per
formance of your momentuous functions, all
personal, party and selfish considerations. —
Strive for the good of the whole people, and
keep in mind, and be governed by the noble
motto of our State :
“Wisdom, Justice and Moderation.”
In the House, on taking the chair, Hon.
R. L. McWhorter, Speaker elect, delivered
the following address:
Gentlemen of the House of Repre
sentatives: Nearly an hundred years ago
our forefathers asserted their right of self
government. The people of that day were
divided in sentiment. Some were for the
King and some for the new Republic.
After a sanguinary and bloody struggle of
seven years, liberty and a free government
were established on this continent, and we
were declared separate from and not subject
to the Grown of England. From that time
until the present our people have been
divided in political sentiment. Many are
the trials through which we have passed.
But year after year has swept by us in rapid
succession. Time has swillly flown, and the
4th of July, this tbe nation’s birth day, has
again dawned upon us.
But the past few years of our political histo
ry has been peculiarly fraught with changes,
revolutions and events. From secession,
revolution and subjugation we bare to-day
assembled as the fii’ot legislative body under
the second constitution. Our duties will be
arduous, our responsibilities great Ques
tions of magnitude must arise, involving the
rights and privileges of many of the citizens
of Georgia. Our course of conduct should
be marked by mature deliberation, candor,
frankness, and with a stern determination to
do right. Let not our feelings misguide us,
nor our judgments be overthrown. The Re
construction acts of Congress, and the Con
stitution of Georgia, made and adopted iu
pursuance thereof, are, doubtless, distasteful
to a large portion of our people, and held by
them as violative of pre-existing contracts
based upon the terms of surrender. Yet
to day they are the supreme law of the laud,
and we must obey. These great questions
’must be left to the ballot box, and we believe
and hope that the people of this mighty
Republic will do right. If they are wrong
time will surely determine. For,
Truth crushed to earth will rise again,
The immortal years of God are hers,
But error, wounded, writhes in pain,
And dies amid her worshippers.
Bijt while this is so, let us be mindful,
that, under the excitement of the hour, wo
travel uot.beyond the strictest construction
of the acts of Congress, mid the Constitution
under which we have this day been con
vened.
Georgia once occupied a position preemi
nently high in the galaxy of States, her
people prosperous, contented, and happy.
But all things have changed.
Under the disastrous consequences of
revolution, our property in slaves has been
emancipated, our cities, towns, and villages
destroyed, our fields laid waste, our citizeu
soldiery lie buried on almost every plain,
from Gettysburg to the banks of the Rio
Grande, leaving but a wreck behind.
It becomes us as men, in this impover
ished and ruinous condition of our country,
to begin this work in earnest. Our people
cannot long survive this condition of things.
To lipal the body politic, restore order, enact
whoiisome mid beneficent laws ; the proper
diffusion,Of learning throughout the St ite, are
questions in which the Legislature of Geor
gia must occupy a conspicuous part.
But the paramount questions before this
General Assembly are, in my bumble
opinion, to be found under those sections of
the Constitution which provide relief and
a hoinestead.for the war worn and poverty
stricken of our land. These clauses in
in that instrument brought thousands to its
support, and to assist in the final consum
mation of this great work I consented to be
here to day.
Tbie history of the past six thousand
years furnishes no parallel to tbe destrue
lion of life, property, hope, and all the
social blessings once vouchsafed to us that
made this the land of tbe sunny South.
Indeed it were impossible. No nation ever
possessed such wealth; no people ever
enjoyed such privileges.
Ours will be the pleasing duty of secu
ring to the poverty stricken widow and
orphan of the soldier, the distressed of
every age and condition, a home, sweet
home, and of rescuing them forever from
the biood-stained talons of the money
cormorant. For myself, I would ask no
higher panegyric, no other monumental
fame, than to have inscribed above my lust
resting place: “Here repose the remains
of one who devoted the remnant of his
davs in rescuing the unfortunate poor of
his native State, who were wrecked by the
second American revolution, from neglect,
want, and misery.’'
Gentlemen, 1 have been promoted by you
to the important and responsible position of
Speaker of the House of Representatives.
1 enter upon the discharge of the duties of
that office with fear and trembling.
1 ask your forgiveness for errors commit
ted, and earnestly entreat your cordial sup
port and co operation.
My experience as a presiding officer is
> limited, and he who studies the science of
parliamentary law can never comprehend
f his subject, only as he may reduce it to
, practice.
In conclusion, allow me to return to you
my sincere and heatfelt thanks for this
1 manifestation of your confidence, receiving
) the assurance that I will, to the best of my
r abilities, discharge tbe duties of Speaker of
s the House of Representatives without favor,
i without partiality.
