Recorder's Court.—ln this Court,
yesterday, a gentleman who left bis
cellar door open, contrary to the provi
sions of the 16th section, puid £1 and
costs for the offence.
Mrs. Dash, who had made a dash at
a colored woman, who was so much
reconstructed that she was nearly white,
paid $3 and costs lor her dashing pro
jM-nsities. It was all about a dress and
a sack which the colored woman had to
matte for Mrs. D. The latter sent for
iho sack, but did not get it; she felt as
though she was sacked, and as she
didn’t get the dress, she sought redress.
The seamstress, it seems, didn't like
things stitched up iu that way, and
when she got hemmed up, she didn’t
want to be whipped over, or felled to
to the ground ; so she reported the ease
to the Recorder who settled it as above.
A colored gay Lothario, went to his
lady love, but in order to permit “a young
lady” present to retire, he kindly with
drew for a while: and*, on returning,
being in spirits of some sort, said he
got hold of the wrbng gate. The" con
sequence was he alarmed a lady in the
neighborhood who called for help. A
colored man, who was just returning
from the fire, went-to see what the fuss
was all about, was tired at, and another
colored man who was aroused, wont
alter the Police, and, after some diffi
culty, succeeded in arresting Jim. Jim
was fined S3O and the costs of Court
for violating the 18th Section and dis.
turbing quiet citizens.
A vio ator of the 17th Section was
fined $3 and costs. The practice of
carrying loaded pistols in the street and
shooting promiscuously is getting to be
so common that we are gratified to oh
serve the course of the Recorder. It is
a practice that ought to be broken up.

IVs Aoou«TA Pswc BiAaoL.— This
school, we are pleased to learn, Ts in a
flourishing condition, umlur.tha manage
-oe|.t of Martin VI Crlttn,’ bi.4q., in the
Boy's Department, and Mrs. Joaephine
Jokca in the Girls’ Department. The

John Milligan, ani Benjamin B. Rus
sell, hsq., ns Secretary and Treasurer.
They contemplate, we learn, having the
School building thoroughly renovated
during the approaching Christmas holi
days. This is very much needed for the
ooiutort and I'uoveiiience ol teachers
and pupils, and stiould ho Well and
promptly done. .
This school is an flTiportnut iiutititiou
of otlr Cftyj ams has always been an
object oj pride aud .eucoiiragcineut with
our ckiieiis. It should still be ku. The
system ot Common Schools adopted by
the Georgia Legislature is so imperfect,
if the original bill has been passed, that
it will not be operative in (he Stale, at
least not in this City. ’We should,
therefore, take cane of our own Free
Schools, and set to it that the.teachers
arc remunerated for their services.
The fluid of the Augusta Free School
« so Small that it does not afford an ad
equate support to the teachers. Would
it not be well tor our wealthier citizens
to contribute something toward this
fund ? The City Council hus always,
heretofore, made an annual appropria
tion to the same object, and will, we
presume, do the same this year. If
something of this kind should he done,
it would enable the Board of Trustee,,
to give the teachers a regular salary
which they certainly deserve, and ought
to have, instead of the present system
of pro rata payments for attendance of
scholars.
The Principals have adopted for tui
tion hours the one session per day system
—from 8} o'clock, a. m., to 2 p. m.
a system which has been adopted in some
of the principal frigate schools, and
which has always been found to work
well. It gives the children ample time
to play and take exercise, a very impor
tant consideration, fur there is no little
truth in the old saying ‘‘All work and no
play makes Jack a dull boy;'’ and it at
the same time lessens the inducements
and occasions to pHty truant. The same
system ought to he adopted in the
Houghton Institute, and we commend it
to the consideration of the Houghton
Institute Committee of Council. *
In conclusion we need only congratu
late the Trustees aud patrons of the
School in having secured the services ot
such competent and energetic teachers
as Mr. Calvin and Mrs. Jones. They
impart instruction in spelling, reading,
writing, mgntal and written Arithmetic,
Grammar, Geography and History ; and
their pupils show very commendable
proficiency in these branches. The
people of Augusta should take an active
interest in their Free Schools.
Locals.— When the sun is smiling
in beauty over the City and surrounding
country, all nature is rejoicing in the
Being that sprung it into existence, and
there is a dearth of news in the land—it
is raihey fatiguing business—this hunt
ing up some occurrence, about which to
write a local paragraph, and it becomes
the more cheerless and burdensome
when the skies are overcast with lower
iug clouds, and the rain is falling in
torrents; for vmbrilla-less, ye Local
must go iu search of these items, ex
posed as he is to wind, aud rain, and
el cetera s almost innumerable. Will no
one contribute to his relief 7
Pastoral. —Rev. George 11. Patillo,
the minister recently appointed to the
pastorship of St. James’ Methodist
Church, arrived in the city yesterday,
and will enter upon his official'duties
to-morrow. •
The late Pastor; Rev. Mr.JCramer,
left for Madison this morning. He will
return on Monday, in order to remove
his famiiyto the above mentioned plae'e-
We congratulate the people thereof upon
the acquisition ot so perfect a gentle
man and pure a Christian as Mr. Kra
mer.
y A Bkautivoi. Gift. —Thursday eve
ning, as Rev. George Kramer was
leaving St. Janies’ Church Reduce
Room, where he had been conducting a
Prayer Meeting, he was met at the door
by the Sexton —a colored man—who
presented him, with a China
cup and saucer, which he begged would
be accepted by the minister as a slight
testimonial of the donor’s friendship aud
love.
The present is, ,in One sense of the
term, of inconsiderable value, yvliich,
however, becomes intrinsic, when the
Inotive Aud circumstances are duly cou
sidered.
A Good Idea.— The -Macon Journal
rs; Me.tscw/er has notified the Agent of
the United States and European Newr
Association that he is not only satisfied'
with the superiority of Mr Craig « news
arrangements, blit thinks it will be a
great advantage to have reports differ
ent from the other morning paper: lie
bps therefore di*olVed his relations
with tho Asshciuted Press, und will
receive his fepol'U from the new Associ
ation. We have no doubt, if the old
Association should survive, that the
press of the other cities will adopt the
policy of the Macon press, a part taking
news from one, and a part from the
other. In this way, the interest of the
papers in every city will he much en
hanced with the reading public.
It will he seen from our telegraph
column, that the press of the West, in
their Convention at Chicago ou yester
day, confirmed their previous resolution
to go with the new Association by a *oti'
of 29 to 3, ;
