Letter from a Citizen of Temnes- aee, denying that that State Legalises Mlacegeantlon. The Sentiaaemts of Tbe San En- dorsed. Ten nenne Vlndlcotrd! We publish below a very important letter from it prominent citireu of Knoxville, Tennessee, drawn forth by tbe recent miscegenation trials in this city. It will be recollected that in the case of Willis Harris and Mary Silvey, the State admitted the legality of tbe Tennessee marriage. If out highly respected correspon dent's statement is correct, it would seem that the District Attorney was in error in admitting before tbe Court the legality of the marriage in Ten nessee. We shall rejoice if it be true that the glorious old “Volunteer State” has passed through her trials and cruelties iuflicted by Radical misrule without having the foul blot of mis cegenation tiled upon her es cutcheon. Oppressed and per secuted as that State has been, and humiliated by the (iover- norabip of llrowulow, she has come out of the fire, the brighter for her sufferings, and with her honor and public morality untarnished. We will only odd that our corres pondent is well known in this city as a most estimable gentleman: Editor Sun: In your report of the 9th and 10th iust, of the proceedings of tho District Court, you report with several others of similar charac ter, the cases of Willis Harris, col ored, and Mary Silvey, white—ar raigned on a charge of lowdiicss. The parties claiming, according to your reports, to have been legally married in Tounessoo, and emigrated to Geor gia, not knowing tho married rcla- uon between white and colored was in violation of the laws of Georgia. This fact was admitted by tho Court, Counsel, and newspaper reporter, and placed in mitigation of the crime. Your comments upon the moral of the case were, in my judgment, emi nently just and proper. But when yon assume that either the laws or the moral sense of the people of Ten- ncssoe sanction tho intermarriage of whites and blacks you assume what is not the fact. If the said Willis Har ris and Mary Silvey Btartcd from Tennessee on their bridal tour, they did so without the sanction of law. The Constitution of the Stale pro vides against the enactment of such a law bg the Legislature. Tho Code punishes tho otlbnco by imprisonment in the jicuitcntiary and tho moral sense of tho people of Tennessee re volt at the thought of miscegenation. A native of Tennessee, and now my home, but for ten years of my life a citizen of your noble State, where I claim the friendship and con fidence of many of your best citizens. I am unwilling to see this misrepre sentation of our laws stand uncoutra- dicted. And 1 would BUggcst to the Court, Counsel and news reporter the propriety of knowing tho facts before admitting the statements of low, de graded miscegonationists, as to the laws of neighboring States, and the popular current of public sentiment J.W.G.

' ONE OF ATLANTA’S “STRONG- MINDED” VENTURES OUT. Great (Success! Mr*. Meeker, of Atlanta, was in our eity on Tuesday last, proposing to deliver a lecture to our oitisens on the subject of “Matrimony.” It seems that sho failed to attraot sufficient attention to get up on audience, and the lecture was not deliv ered. As a general thing, tbe Southern peo pie do not take to female lecturers, and think that educated women con find a more appropriate sphere in which to ex ercise their talents.—Covington Enter prise. Ail of which we indorse, and venture the opinion that Mr*. Meeker would make more by tending babies than lectur ing on woman’s rights. MAYOR'S COtJUT. Tbe case of Carrie Dupree was np again yostorduy; and it was proven, lieyond doubt, that (be kept a disorderly bouse. Tbo testimony was long and voluminous. Tho neighbors say singing and merry making, bugging and kissing, was tbo order of tbo day—or rather nighto-at Carrie’s house; and that a suspicious crowd at least, were to be seen there. Carrie's counsel tried to get her ease mixed up in l water and mud nuisanoe, but his Honor know a point of lsw himself; and before bo would have his eyo 'shut up in that way, he would fine Carrie 850 and eoete. The lecture in the case wus worth half the money, so she really gets off with twenty-five dollars—if sho knows it uzzm JOHNSON belonged to the bappy family which Clal- liuo bad organized, and tbe cases were so much alike, oud she being one of the main hands at keeping the house hold lively, the Judge thought ho would moke it lively for her some. Her counsel was very persistent in her defense, but the Mayor con tollthem just as soon os thoy get up. Their dresses arc not .pinned up right, and they look slouehy end not all liko decent niggers, and thcro is no use for a lawyer trying to throw dust in liis eye when one of them sort is arraigned. From the purest of kindness and the best of feelings for Liz zie, and with the hope that she would ap preciate the catastrophe, the Mayor kind ly permitted her to pay 800 and costs. Lizzie gracefully bowed her head to tho inaiidute, but it wns Jonseu’s opinion she would bow it oftener than that before she got the bill fully settled. SANDY KINO was accused of being the old King of meanness. He was quarrelling and rais ing the dnst generally with one or two other darkies—ono of whom came out with a hoot-lieel neatly cut over tho left eye, and the claret streaming in profu sion from his wound. Handy didn't exact ly know to whose boot the heel belonged, which mode the cut on the nigger's tem ple, but when the latter individual was handed np for being in the same fuss he got a credit of five dollars for the cut, and the costs of the cose for liis interests in tho row. HISS IilZZIK HAMILTON was ubsent at Saratoga or some other wa tering pluoe, and did not answer to roll call. The Mayor will make her reason kindly when she does come. He's some on water. FENNY MEYKIt “ picking crows" with another girl, when an officer camo along and said to her: Thy pretty face. Thy lovely grace, And all thy winaome charms, With onnning art Allurca my heart. And all my hope alarms, It alurmrd Fenny for any ono to talk in such a swoet way to her and the gave np by saying to tho offioer : Thy silvery voice, Thy words so oholoe, Ringing out in songs, Break on my ear, So sweetly dear, My heart thoir joy prolongs, Thu Mayor was very much oharmed at tho reply Fenny inado to tho policeman, and fined her not a penny, but said : Thy lovely smiles. Thy playful wiles, And thy coquettish airs Intrance my eyes, Awoke my sighs, Aud fill my breast with cave*. It was all that was filled, exoept that Jonscu aaid ho was filled with a desire to get his dinner, and the Oonrt adjourned. Thai lloaral or Health. Editors Sum I see you invite the Board of Health to look after the ■tench arisiug from the Martin Boost on the corner of Pryor and Hunter streets. Will you also invito them to examino into tbeatonoh arising from the rear of R. M. Olark’s buildings on Whitehall and Broad streets. The attention of the owners has been repeatedly called to this abomina ble affair, but nothing has been done Such stench holes are a disgrace to the city and ita authorities, to remain in the very heart of Atlanta. Gan it be that any one wishes to create Typhoid fever, cholera, or other malignant disease} Gentleman, please look after this matter. Health. Mr. Local—There are one hundred membera enrolled la the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce. They include every bank ing bonne in the city, and mart of the prominent bouses and business men.

Cassell Last *l|kt. All th« m“mlieri were pre*ent except Alderman Fowler. Several retail licences were granted ; and a prize candy gift concern failed to get free license to sell hi* wares. The Dollar Saving* Bank wanted to bo pat on the same footing as the National banka, which wo* yoferred to tho T»x Committee. Mr. Dann keeps a store near Whitehall street creasing, and bo petitions tho Council for permission to “clean out” the crowd of idle negroes who obstruot the gang way there. [We heartily agree with Mr. Dann in this matter, and the negroes who loiter there come from tbe four cardinal point* of tbe compass, and are really a nuisance. Dann thinks if he had the proper authority he oould keep the sidewalks clear, and not trouble tbe polios about the matter. —Report**.—] The matter was referred to the City Mar shal, who will not forget it A petition from the citizen* along the line of tho Streot Railroad way wanted that portion of Peters street macada mized. In some places the said road has been raised a foot above the level and in others as much depressed. Altogether it makes that thoroughfare a very incom modious one. especially in wet weather. The rales were suspended, and a resolu tion was adopted authorizing the Street Committee to put the whole force to work Peters, before bod weather set* in. The public school question was settled by authorizing the Mayor to sign con tracts for lands and work for that purpose, and tbe the work will commence at onoe. For tho three sobool houses proposed it will cost between 875,000 and 880,000 to build them. This matter is now settled, and I lie committee will go at once to work. A lew drainage and sewerage pe titions were presented. Tbe Street Committee was authorized to reject or receive any or all bids for macadamizing Decatur and other streets. The city had sold three feet and seven inches more land to Mr. Elsas than she owned, and s petition from tbe owner to pay for it was presented to the City At torney, Engineer, Street Committee, and various other combinations, by which the wronged parties are likely to remain out of tho nse of their money for some time. Messrs. Newman, Fox, Rawson, Aus tell, McLendon, Lowry, and soveral others, were suggested as suitable peasons to represent the city the Baltimore Commercial Convention which meets next month; but tho most popular men were City Attorney Newman, Mayor Hammond and Aider- man McLendon. Newman had other en gagements about that time, but he was prevailed upon to accept tho appoint ment. All these gentlemen being leading commercial men of Atlanta^ the good sense and discernment of tlio Council in selecting them will nt once be seen. The Committee on the Calabooso re ported the pnrelwsc of a lot on Pryor street, on which a first-class city prison will be erected. The lot cost 83,500 ill cash or 84,500 in lxnids. Tho cash was decided upon. Tho opening of Spring street was de ferred. Alderman Rioe wanted it known that the man who was opposed to tho opening of that street would never get the honor of representing the Fifth Ward in tho Council. He was in favor of the opening, but understood that he is not a candidate for re-election. The Financial Report says it paid out 87,898 45 last week for expenses. Tho body adjourned. Georgia WuUrs Railroad garvojr. Tho Engineer Corps of the Georgia Western have been trying most of tho past week to find a good point at which to cross tho Chattahoochee below the mouth of Sweetwater Creek, but have been unable to find a place where it is practicable without too great an expense. The object was to avoid crossing the river first and then the creek afterwards; but it hns been determined to cross tho river about a mile above Adcrhold's For- ry and above tho mouth of Sweetwater, and then cross tho creek near ita mouth; and the Corps, yesterday and to-day, are engaged in running tho lino from the point of crossing tho river back to this city. They will roach here this evening, wc learn, and remain till Monday morn ing. Tk« Death of Daalcl Pltmaa Sear. The public has been aware of the illness of this gontleumn, and tho on-, nouncement of hia death has been ex pected for several days. After a protrac ted illnoss, he died at 10 o’lock yester day, at the ripe age of 70 yean, and thus ends tho career of a good honest man, one who has aervo«l tho people faithfully in hia time. Major Pittman was born in Columbia County, in May, 1793. From thenoo ho moved to Gwinnett County, whieh he represented in the Georgia Legislature for over ten yean, as Represenative and Senator. In theoontort growing out of the project for building the Htato Road Major Pittman identified himself with that enterprise, and was elected as a friend of the road— politics being entirely ignored ia the race. In hia career as a publio servant, he performed hia duties faithfully, and to the satisfac tion of hia [eonstitaneta. Major Pittman was a good and true man, in all the re lations of life, and has gone to the grave honored and reepeoted by all who knew him. New Bridge. Yesterday the construction of the new bridge across tho Macon and Western Railroad in front of Judge Collier's was completed—lacking only some work at the abutments by the street hands, to be ready for the crossing of vehicle*. It is wide enough for e double truck, aud very eubatential—*11 made of the beet heart pine lumber, sawed at Murphy k Metre- sin's Mill, below Macon. The work was done by Mr. L. O. Chaniplin, and is cer tainly a very creditable job. TIIC ILEIsniEI TRIAL. Farther Trillaaaajr PMlpaaad t'altl Monday. The trial of James Alexander—for the alleged killing of Hamp. Whitehead, a penitentiary convict, was continued be fore Justice Johnson yesterday at the Court House. Early in the day crowds of negroes commenced gathering at the City Hull, and before the hour of 10 o’clock the minis siul corridors und grounds of the Hall were olive with negro men, women und even children. It was with difficulty that the prisoner and counsel on either side could get en trance to the room. No outward demonstration was made, further than the congregating of this crowd, which meant really that their worst passions had been aroused by tho reports put in circulation aud that they expressed, in private conversation and otherwise, a disposition to take what is called the law in their own hands. A few leading negro characters, who were closely watched, were liusy here and there, in apparent excited conversation among the crowd, and much apprehen sion for the peace and quiet of the city was expressed by the better disposed por tion of the community. It wus no doubt a good thing for those leaders that no outbreak occurred; for, beside the police, who were on hand, and wlio have some recollections of u former riot with this very class, a number of peaceable and law-abiding citizens were fully prepared to teach these villains and cut-tliroats that any attempt they might moke in that direction would be met with a wholesome reception. Two or three notorious characters were among the leaders of this crowd, among whom 'were Finch aud the notorious Howard Horton. These negroes made no particular demonstrations, but it was evi dent that tlioy were leading spirits oi the contemplated movement. The testimony of two or throe wit- neeeses was taken, and the trial post poned until Monday. The prisoner wob remanded to the care of tho Sheriff. Tile ltnllroufl Mm. We judge from the number of Rail road men in the city, that something for the public benefit is on the tapis, but could not learn what it is. The people havo faith ia these gentlemen, and look to them for cheap rates of passage nnd freight as well as speed and despatch.— Among these in the city yesterday, we notice W. H. King,. G. T. A. S. & N. Railroad ; Jas. R. Ogden, G. T. A. E. T., V. & T. Railroad ; W. S. Danly, G. T. A. N. k C. Railroad ; G. J. Foreacre, Gen’l Sup’t Western Railroad {and J. Roberts, Agent Go. Railroad. The publio may look soon for a proclamation from these gentlemen which will doubtless be to the interest of tho people generally. The Hop ut the Kimball House last night, was in every way delightful. With such excellent music to stimulate tho fair dancers, it was no wonder they lookrd liko fairie* in the mazes of the donee. Mayor Huff arrived in the city last night. Of course he is here iu tbe in terest of Macon and the State Fair, whieh will be held in that oity this Fall.
