For this they were arraigned before' Justice <)Lin, who, upon their conviction, en rolled each of them for twelve months’ service in the Chain Gang. p We Can't Stand It. GitouiiY- of the Early County News in his issue of the 18th instant, appro priate, without due credit, one of our most elaborate locals entitled “Shut Up.” Not satisfied with that, liq, in the same free manner, helps himself to our compilation of the grave-steal ing affair in Macon, mentioned in the Macon Messenger recently. Is that the way to “render unto Caesar,” etc. Receiver of Tax Returns. We learn that Judge Samuel Levy, < >rdinary, yesterday appointed Mat Sheron, Esq., Receiver of Tax Re turns for Richmond County, vice John B. Vaugh an, unable to give the necessary bond. This appointment, like that of the Collector made a few weeks since, will, we feel quite sure, prove universally acceptable to our people. Right Shoulder, Shift. So said Josiah Miller, Esq., yes terday, to an old white man from the country, who had unceremoniously shouldered one of his bacon shoulders without paying for it, Mr. Miller met him as he was retiring with the meat, and inquired if he had paid for it, to which the old man responded in the affirmative. Not satisfied, how ever, Mr. Miller made inquiries in the store, and found that such was not the case. The old man was overhauled by Mr. Milled, when lie liquidated for the meat and kept it. He evi dently has not been well drilled in the tactics of the shouldering motion, as laid lUnvn in the eighth commandment. A Case el Stealing. Martha McCarthy (colored), was arraigned before Justice Olin yester day. morning, charged with having stolen from the store of Messrs. Jas. A. Gray <t Co., a piece of dress goods, of the value of ten dollars. Martha was duly tried and sentenced to a service of sixty, days on the chain gang. The liberal-hearted prosecutor, after a bearing of the case, asked a remisssion of the imprisonment to ten days and the substitution of a fine, which latter he agreed to pay himself. The pagt good diameter of Martha t induced Justice Olin to take off one month of the original sentence, mak ing it sixty days, instead of three months. 8 » ■■ Police Arrests* We give below' a list of arrests by the police since Saturday, up to six o’clock yesterday afternoon: One llandsly (white) for drunken ness. A colored man, name unascertained, for violation of 18th section. Bristow Wilson and Peter Jack lon (colored) for swindling aud cheat ' ing. Martha Jackson (colored) for steal ing goods from store. Edward Carr, Henry Richard son and Wm. Crafton, for violation of IBth section. A colored woman, for desertion of children. W. L. Turner (white), for violation of 18th section. Robert Clements (colored), for violation of 18th section. Beeaister’e taart. In this Court, yesterday, the follow ing cases were examined and di«- ]K>sed of: Tom Howard (colored), fur viola tion of drumming ordinance. Fined $lO and costs, or twenty days pn Cliain Gang. Edward Carr, Henry Richard son and William Grafton (colored), for violation of 18th section. Plead not guilty. Fined $5 each and costs, or ten days on Chain Gang. Alexander Alexander (white), a merchant, who carries on business in Bridge Row, was arraigned for viola tion of same ordinance. In this case counsel appeared on both sides—A. D. Picqlet, Esq., for the city, and F. 11. Miller, Esq., for defence. After a hearing of the evidence in troduced, the counsel for the prosecu tion opened the case by reading from the city ordinance regulating the em ployment of drummers, and citing the charter of the city in support of the legality of the tax imposed on mer chants and others who may employ drummers or runners. Counsel for prosecution admitted that it would be unconstitutional for the City Council to prohibit drum ming, but claimed the right to regu late and tax its exercise, as conducive to a preservation of peace and good order. The counsel for the defence, after a brief attack upon the evidence elicited, pronounced the ordinance unconstitu tional, having been enacted by an illegal body—the late Military Council of Augusta. This drew from the prosecution a rejoinder to the effect, that if such be the ease, the Constitution of the (State must likewise be unconstitutional, inasmuch as the Convention which framed it also ratified the appoint ments made by General Pope. Another point plead by the defence was, that if the ordinance had been enacted by a regularly elected Council, it was in violation both of State and United States law —being prohibitory and excessive taxation. The arguments of the legal gentle men who appeared in this case were brief, and the announcement of the judgment of the Recorder not less so. Recorder Crump did not feel called upon to take into consideration ques tions of constitutionality as affecting the ordinance alleged to have been violated by Mr. Alexander. He was there to administer the law in the case on evidence, and imposed a line of SIOO and costs. Mr. Miller moved a suspension of the collection of the line, and announced an appeal to the Superior Court, which was readily granted by’ the Recorder. This case now rests in abeyance, for the decision of a higher tribunal. In the meantime, the operation of the drumming ordinance is not in the least affected, and for the benefit of the uninformed, we publish it entire this morning. It reads: AN ORDINANCE for the Protection of the Trade of Augusta; and to Tax Drum mers and Runners, and those who employ the same; and for other puqwses: Sec. 1. He u Oniaufai hu the City Council of Augusta, anti it in hereby l u t j ie authority of the Mine, That from and after the passage of this ordinance, all merchants who shall have in their employ, w ithin the corporate limits of said city, any drummer or runner (or any person whose occupation shall be to drum up trade), shall pay a tax’of Two Hundred Dollars per annum for each person employed by them as aforesaid, and shall have the names of such employees recorded with the Clerk of Council, and shall pay said Clerk a fee of fifty cents for each person so registered; and for each failure to comply with this Ordinance, and being duly convict ed before the Recorder of said city, there shall be a fine of not less than One, nor more titan Two Hundred Dollars. Sec, 2. Anti be it further Crdaincd, That each and every person who shall be engaged and employed in running after customers for any mercantile house, shall first obtain from the Chief of Police a leather band, which shall be worn outside around the hat or cap of such runner at all time (Sunday excepted), with the name of the wearer, the house drumming for, and the business conducted by the same, painted or printed in plain, legi ble letters, and shall pay therefor the sum of seventy-five dollars. Said band to be good for one year only ; and for each and every violation' of this section there shall be a flue of not less than fifty nor more than one hundred dollars. Sec. 3. Jbwlfte it further Ortlaintd, That it shall be unlawful for any person mentioneel in the second section of this Ordinance, to interfere, in any manner, byway of solicit ing trade, or preventing the same, within fifty feet of any store or house carrying on the same or like business as they are employed in or for. Sec. 4. And be it further Ordained, Tliat all Ordinances and parts of Ordinances mili tating against this Ordinance be, and the same are hereby repealed. Passed on the Ist day of November 1867. As to the operation of this ordi nance in respect to the interests of trade, there seems to be a diversity of opinion. If it is the purpose of Coun cil to create a revenue from this busi ness, the ordinance has evidently over shot the mark fn its price for the exercise of the privilege. The mer chant so electing to employ local runners or drummers is required to pay a tax of two hundred dollars, for each person so employed, and the runner or drummer is also required to pay seventy-five dollars for a pre scribed badge, before he can exereisd the functions of the business for which he may have been employed. This amounts to a practical prohibition of the exercise of the business, from which it is proposed to raise revenue. The profits accruing to merchants and others who may employ local runners ' > '<l i - or drum mere «ru not sufficient lo justify the payment of thin onerous tax. Some ouc, pejMp*, who pr«(ci* to sell his goods, warcti and merchandize in the good, old-fashioned way of sitting down in his store and waiting for customers, will at once exclaim, “Let them all do as I do.” But all do not find it to their advantage to sit •till. They can advance their interest more successfully by stirring around and by employing others to help them stir round. Judging from the frequent viola tions of this ordinance recently, it is fair to infer that local drumming is becoming a regular occupation, and will afford employment to numbers who might otherwise become idlers or engage in less reputable pursuits. Taking this view of the matter, we hope our city fathers will promptly give their attention to the matter, and repeal the ordinance, taking out of the way all serious hindrances to a a free and legitimate local trade. Don’t Forget That General Tom Thumb and his little party will visit Augusta on the 24tb. This troupe consists of the original and world-renowned General Tom Thumb, and his beautiful and ac. coniplished little wife, Mrs. Lavjnia Warren Stratton ; that inimitable specimen of wit, skill, agility and comic drollery, Commodore Nutt (known as “The $30,000 Nutt), and his intended wife, the sweet little sprite, Miss Minnie Wabren. Mince Pies. As the attention of a’l housewives involuntarily turns thusward about this season of the year, wc give them a recipe for making the same, which a lady friend has used with the most perfect success for a number of years: Take one and a half pounds of fresh beef, well boiled and chopped fine; one and a half pounds of apples, chopped line; three quarters of a pound of beef suet, chopped finq; one pound of sugar, one pound of raisins, seeded and chopped; one pound of currants, two ounces of citron, chopped fine; three oranges and three lemons, chopped fine ■ brandy or cider, and spice to suit the taste. Try this, and ask us around to dinner, and we will tell you whether you have succeeded or not. Our judgment is considerable on such matters, and what is more, we arc always glad to have an opportunity of expressing it. • New Rules for Buns Ball. The National Association of Base Ball players, recently assembled at Washington, adopted the following rulca regulating games played by the members of the Association: “Any player failing to take his regular turn at the bat, unless prevented by sick ness or injury, or by permission of the contesting nine, shall be declared out. Captains of nines can, by mutual con sent, consider the games drawn instead of playing a tenth inning as hereto fore. The limit of membership in a club before playing in a match is now sixty days instead of thirty. In home- the ball shall be furnished in the first and thtra by the challenging club, and in the second game by the challenged club.” JOB AND booz-butdhtg. Mr. E. 11.

The Rome Railroad has declared a dividend of five per cent, from the earnings of the past four months. The Columbus iiun says thero is not a place of amusement in that city, nor arc there any musical societies. The President has nominated for the third time Lloyd D. Waddell as Assessor for the First District of Georgia. A certain fighlist 'in Columbus re marks that in his encounters he always cuts ami shoots—takes the near cuts and shoots for home. Officer Wooding lias just returned to Atlanta from Oglethorpe county, and reports the recovery of $4,200 more of the funds lately stolen from Mr. Jesse Dalton.

Mr. Ross and Mr. Griffin, two fish ermen, of Savannah, while in the pur suit of their occupation, last Wednes day, were fired into by a gang of riotous negroes on Skidaway Island, who announced their intention to allow no white man to fish in the waters of Thunderbolt river. A young man of Savannah visited a female that he “hadn’t ought to.” She stole his watch, purse and revol *»■ - Ro entered a complaint against her, and the womim, herself from further trouble, gave up the articles. The following, to which we give publicity, is one of the most extraor dinary’ incidents known in thr annals of nature: Some five weeks since, a cow in this city, belonging to John Rhodes, gave birth to a calf, which survived and is now thriving finely’. Wonderful to relate, llie same animal has just been delivered of another calf, which also lives and is doing well. Many persons have visited this remarkable cow with her two calves, and the circumstance Creates no little surprise. The facts are attested bc« yond doubt.— Cuthbert Appeal, Murders in Thomas County.— The Thomasville Enterprise, of last Wednesday says: A negro man was brought to jail here on Wednesday last for murder ing two negro women near Duncan ville, in this county, a week before his arrest. One of the women was his wife, who he murdered for her un faithfulness in leaving him for another man, and the other woman was a wife to the mau charged with giving asylum to the murderer’s wife. He confessed the crime upon his arrest, and related the horrible details of the double murder. He said he had for some time intended to kill his wife, and sought to shoot her, but finding her on this occasion with the woman who had aided and encouraged her to leave his house, he changed his mind and struck her with the gun. The blow felled her to the earth, insensi ble, and the other woman now fled to give information; but he ran after her, and felled her also with the.gun, and repeated the blows until he was satisfied she was dead. The infuriated demon now returned to his still insensi ble wife, :md with his pocket knife cut her throat and went his way.

The Rctrencliment Committee have published a report on revenue frauds. The greatest want is undoubtedly of honest officials, but no improvement can lie hoped for in that direction under the present Executive, a fact Congress should have realized and acted upon long ago, and then devised a system which human in gssuity and. official capacity could not easily circumvent. They say that most of the distilleries are running now in fraud of revenue.
