Editor* Chronicle and Sentinel: You
alluded a few daya ago to the probablo
appointment of this gentleman to the
Supreme Court, and you have einee had
the pleasure of reooraing the fact.
Jnd*e Montgomery it a profound luw-
yer, with dear perception of oompln
isagaoity, and prom pt-
wi race'
■ of decision. We recall an incident,
aa illuatrative of his powers aa of the
magnanimity of his friend, Judge Linton
Stephens. They were opposed to eaoh
other in an important tow ease, and after
severs] able apeeohee by their aasociatee,
Mr. Montgomery eommenoed end oon-
tiuued bin argument—Judge Stephens
wntobing him with cloee and intense in
terest. Mr. Montgomery doted, and
Judge Stephens exclaimed: "That man
is every ineh a lawyer."
Judge Montgomery is iorty-four years
old, of a hue commanding appearanoe,
and imbued witiran independent integri
ty and deep love of justice. We con
gratulate the Governor and people of
Ueorgia upon such an excellent appoint

Atlanta.
We have, for a long time, noticed the
invidious dun thrown at this city, which
is truly the pride of the Stato. We have
aevar aeon any necessity forsuoli aoourse,
for of all plaoaa in the State, Atlanta is
our favorite. True there is aa immeuao
amount of oorruption, whioh has been
more prominent, then that of any other
aity, baoanaa it la the eeet of Govern
ment aid beoauae everybody knows
everything shorn it; but * lis is overbalanc
es by its wont' jrfnl enterprise,tbe energy,
sud thrift of its eitixens, the magnificence
of its undertakings, the eiegsnooof her
buildings, and tbs cleverness ol her peo
ple. Sevon yean ago it was one solid
ruin, a mats of cinders and charcoal; to
day it is the finest oity in tbe State,
rivalled by none in scarcely a single re
spect. Ji i,us ris. u Phoenix like from its
—boa, sud is uue of tbe fluent examples
of Georgia’s determination to maintain
berwell earned repuliitiou of "the Empire
Slate of the South."
When its limits worn one vast tamp of
Yankee soldiery, alien tbo ba'lut box
ass manipulated by eeouudrele, its polls
oouuted at the point of the bayonet, iu
the hands of a rabble whose every im
pulse »ss for tbe degradation of our
people, Atlanta w— tbe only city in tbe
State of any considerable sixe, that gave
our glorious standard bearer a majority
of the votes oust. This record she has
fully sustained in every subsequent elec
tion, and to her we look for lead in eveiy
important move on the political obese-
board.
A great deal has been laid about the
removal of the capital of toe State to that
peiut; we ere aod have ell the time been
opposed to tbe manner in whioh it was
second lor that eity, but outaide of that
we ere willing, yee, proud of the fact, that
Atlanta is our —at ol government Tbe
removal of it to Atlanta will more than
add enough to the taxes of the State than
forty such public buildings aa those be
longing to tbe State at Milledgoville ore
worth. It ia foremost in evary Uuug that
looks to the developing of our nobis old
Commonwealth, ana we shall ever rejoioe
et its prosperity iu any manner or form,
and would be glad ta see the dey dawn
when its limits might ba extended until
it wee separated from our own beeutifr'
little oily by nn invisible dry line.
Lei ns have no more of unpleasant re
flections in reference to that eity. The
largo majority of her citixuas an hatetl
people, end the unearthing of the mon
strous railroad frauds now going on tto i
eiika creditable to the high character
at Ha aitiaaria and their determination o
prnUeh those who have defrauded end
robhod the State with impunity under
the unlimited license granted them bv
Badieal usurpation, and the unbridled
authority given them by ootny officials.
It appears from the efltotol report of
the Commissioner of Education, that the
public schools at Washington eity an so
arranged et to afford accommodations for
only one-third of the white ahildrca and
one-half of the black oaee. That eity

New Orleans, La., 1
February 13,1H72. (
THE l'ABADK INI) DISPLAY
on the streets, where the procession was
snnounoed to pass, w— magnificent be
yond calculation. Besides numerous
structures provided for the occasion,
tlronaanda of verandahs, porticos end
balconies wen thronged with excited
spectators. These, adorned with a blaz
ing bout of geyly and richly dremed wo
men, ornamented with many brilliant
oolors, and decorated with floating ban
ners, flying oolors, gleaming pennants
and glittering streamers, together with
tbe surging mans of humanity that lite
rally thronged the streets below present
ed a spectacle which, for inspiring lwauty
and enchanting grandeur, seeks in vein
for a parallel in American history.
AboutMOi o'clock in the mornings few
masker*, chiefly children, made their ap-
pearance ou the streets. These ore im
mediately followed by a diversity of mas
querade pedestrians representing mon
keys, bears, lions, pancbinelios, pan
taloons, buffoons, harlequins, negroes,
and a host of others too nnmer-
to mention. Large bands of
minstrels on foot or in vehioles; gaily
caparisoned bones with burlesque, comi
cal, and aometimee hideous, riders, until
by twelve o’clock the vast populace that
throng Canal and it* tributary streets is
variegated and diversified with many
thousand masks and oostumes of every
conceivable model and design, The ex-
citement continued unabated until three
o'clock, r. it., when the Grand Pageant,
under the command of the King of tbe
Carnival and tbe Grand Manhal of tbe
Empire, commenced its marob, when
every speototor became spell-bound while
witneeeing the gorgeous panorama of
ever-changing scones in tbe picturesque
procession before him.
THE PAGEANT
wee preceded by mounted polioo officers
and assistants on foot. The Grand Mar
shal and King of tbo Carnival, with their
appropriate ensigns, oolors, insignia end
banners, accompanied by a company of
the Lords of the Yeomanry, habited in
Arabic, Moorish and Bedouin costumes,
lad tbs van of the prooession. Nothing,
save parching sands and Arabian chargors,
was wanting to make this detaokment a
perfect roving band of dosert Bedouins.
There were the bronze face, tbe black
board, tbe far-eeeing, vicious and tresch
erous eyes. There were the red jsokets
and purple browsers, brilliant sash
white soarf and shining rosettes peering
from under a rioh flowing white robe
trimmod with gold lace and surmounted
with curious designs of oostly brocades.
Tbo costumo was perfected by a gloaming
spear which was carriod in the right
baud.
The Boeuf Gnu (fat ox), emblematio
of tbo carnival, richly decorated with
roses, ribbons and numerous trappings,
and led by four mounted horsemen, wits
the next feataro of Iho procession.
Two Bedouins, commanding a noisy
company of throe or four
hundred pedestrians in costumes
and masks personating buffons;
Ku-Klux, giants, harlequins, devils,
saints, fiends, Indian clowns, fishes,
be—Is and birds, were next in order.
In dose succession camo a troop of
Chinese, enclosed ia rectangular trans
parent paper boxes bearing many quaint
design*, symbolic of their favorite game
of cards, and bearing such inscriptions
— "OarCarnival Game”and ‘‘ Euchre
us if you oan."
Next followed tbe Lord of tbe Car
riigos, with his Bedouin attendants.
The twenty carriages contained maskers
clothed in rich and costly oostumos, some
worth probably from 810,000 to 820,
000. Among those figured conspicuously
numerous representations of tbo demi
mantle in their coaoh—-and-fottr, dressed,
some in male costume, othors in tbe
most royal outfits, ao fashioned — best
to display their voluptuous charms, if
such they may be termed.
Tbe Irani of the Vans and attendants
led a detachment of vehicles, among
which wero portable blacksmith-shops,
with crimsou-costumedVulcans, forging of
real molten iron whatever their ingenui
ty suggested. Conspicuous umoli j these
plunders was a movable plantation cabin,
resouuut with tbe musio ol
tbe banjo, tamboriue and done
ing of uiue-betlum negroes. Besides
these there wero numerous migratory ad
vertisements of nurseries, sewing ma
chines end numerous avocations and busi
uess enterprises, all well conceived and
executed with the highest degree of per
fection. One of the nursery wagons car
ried a caricature of Horace Greeley, bear
ing the inscription, "What I know about
farming.”
Lord of tbe Horae and attendants,
leadingsoav.-tloadeof "heathenChinees,”
banditti, Indians, monkeys, Japanese,
Kn-Klnxes, Death on Iho Palo Horse,
brigands and the "Knights of McGraw,”
with brooms for spears, constituted the
following section of tbe pageant.
Lord of the Unattached and attendants
led a promiscuous procession, composed
o( Dan Rice’s circus band, followed by
the aUachm and professionals, tattooed
and oostumed at Indians, clowiA, moo
keys, etc.
A motley crowd of straggling m—ken,
comprising monntebaks, quacks, negroes,
and a hast of oomioal characters, closed
the lino of procession.
The pageant paraded a number of tbe
principal streets; contained about 1000
maskers; w— about one and a half miles
long, and consumed about 35 or 10 min
utee in passing a single point in the
The entire proeeeeion re-aeeembled
about dark at the ploee ol render rot™,
where they wen foraaeliy dismissed by
the King of the Carnival.
The eoncourea oi spectators dispersed,
hastened to their supper, and quickly re
turned to view the grand procession
of the
JUSTICE EBEWE 0» CONUS,
which presented a matolilees living pano
ramic view of the aoenea, heroes and
characters in Homer's Iliad and Odys-
a lt is impossible to do justice to
gorgeous spectacle in any description
short of a volume. It was, in short, a
living and magnificent reproduction oi
the Trojan war and its regal array
of heroes, kings, gods and goddesses, —
described, sang, and immortalized by the
grand old bard in the primeval times of
Oriental grandeur.
Tbo pageant consisted of s procession
of many triumphal cars, finished and
decorated in shining splendor, bearing
groups of many heroes of the Trojan
War and the characters in the Odyssey.
Ou the first cor stood a beautiful Doric
temple, whose starry dome protected the
vencrublo bdst of Homer. Tl
next eight cars boro numerous per
sonages, personating the maoy heroes
and actors, terr. Ci.il and celestial, that
I figured so conspicuously iu the siege of
Troy ; viz.: Venus, the pi "hi ess of love,
reclining on u golden cloud, and at her
feet were Baris and Helen, the last the
moat b—utiful women of her age ; Age-
non. King of Argos; tbe aged coun
sellor, Nestor, and tbe beautiful captive,
Brioeis ; Achilles, the bravo aud invul
nerable warrior; Ajax, Apollo, goddess
Diana, Man god of war, and Ann—;
mounted on aloads of Olympus —t Ju
piter, Judo, Minerva and Aurora ; in a
shell floating on tbo sea stood Neptune
with his trideut.
This closed tbe views of the “ Dreams
of Homer,” and next were personated
tbo characters and hero* of
THE ODTSSET.
The firat cor bore tbe Monster Cyclops
Polyphemus. Other cars bore Circe, tbe
Horoere—, Pluto, the Hirens, the Mon
sters Beylla and Charybdis, the House
hold of Ulysses, aud the various other
characters figuring in (lie trials and wan
de -ings of Ulysses. Next followed i
panoramic view of the mock poem
niniAOHOMYAMACHIA,
or tbe “Battle of the Frogs and Mice,” a
poem burlesquing Homer’s grand epic,
but whoso authorship is disputed and yet
remains obscure. This was a laughable
spectacle. Frogs a hundred times msg-
nified, armed cap-a-pie, were placed in
battle array against tbe mice, who were
also equipped in the most approved man-
rer. Minister crabs, who constituted tbe
peace-makers, volunteering their services
— arbitrators, nept appeared.
The prooession, about 10 o'clock p. m.,
entered the
VAItlXTIES THEATRE
which was brilliantly illuminated with
dazzling chandeliers and crowded with
abont 2000 magnificently dressed women
who had come from far and near to witness
the
GRAND RALL AND TABLEAUX
of the Mistick Krewe. The first tableau
pictured in the most regal and gorgeous
glory 1 The Judgement, porsonating
Venus, Juno, Minerva, Helen
and Paris, when the three god
desses tempt Peris by ibeir offers.—
Paris and Helen stand at tbe foot of tbe
throne while Juno offers him immortali
ty. Minerva offers mili ary glory, but
Venus proffers the most beautiful woman
in tbe world, and designate* Helen, who
stands at his side. Immortality and
glory are vanqaished, and Lovo tri-
uaphs.
THE SECOND TABLEAU
represented tho mortal combat between
tbe Trojaos and,Grecians. Diomedes and
Menelattsin one chariot, and Mura and
Hector in another, engage in a hand-to-
liand enconnter, surrounded by the cele
brated warriors Grecian and Trojan.
A TUANttVOltUATION
scene is witnessed during tbe oomliat,
showing tlio gods in council. Tbe third
tableau represented the trials of Ulyttses,
and the fourth presented a comical cari
cature panorama of tho Buttle of tbe
Froga and Mice.
Altogether, tbo tableaux pi-isoutod the
meat magnificent spectacle we ever wit
nessed. Doubtless tho effigies, costumes,
scenery aud paraphernalia connected
with the tableaux, cost nt the lowest es
timate 850,000.
After tho tableaux the Krewo joined iu
a grand march nronnd tho purquette,
which bad bton cleared for dancing, pro
sentiug nn array of characters, which,
for splendor, comicality, terror nml inge
nuity, hns no equal su this country.
THE HALL
then commenced. The first quadrille
was dauccd by members of the Krew
with the ladies of the audience. The
Grand Duko was invited to participate
but declined—only consenting to mingli
with the promonaders on the floor for i
little while, when he retired.
The Mislkk\Krcue of Cornu* has had its
oelekration since tbe year 1847. It origi
noted in tbe “Cowbollian" Society ot
Mobile, which formerly had similar cele
brations in that eity, but ou a more lira
ited scale. Tbe society is composed of
men not only of menus, but of scholar
ship, culture, reading and numerous at
taiuments. They uro from vurious sec
lions of tbe country. It is supposed
they make enormous outluys of utoney
ttad devote muck time as well
talent to these annual demonstrations
which are becoming yearly more popular
und celebrated. It is estimated that their
iuitiation fee alouo is 91,200. All, or at
least nearly all, their effigies, scenery cos
tumos ana general paraphernalia
ordered from Paris and Vienna. Some
individual costume's are supposed to cost
as much as 850,000. While they are de
voteos of fun and pleasure, they nt tbo
tame time worship at the shrine of the
flue arts, and probably ltavo contributed
more to the growth and improvement of
line, lofty nud cultivated tastes iu New
Orleans thau any single benevolent or
literary institution in that city.
Whilo in New Orleans, wc were mtioh
pleased with the general demeanor of her
pooplo nud tho regulation of her govern
ment, though at present sbo ia languivi
ing under the tyranny of her vile op
pressure. We are specially grateful to
tho gentlemanly editorial corps of that
sterling paper tho Picayune, who exten
ded to us many oourtesics during oar
stay. Until anothor year has rolled
around, wo shall remember with pleasure
the few happy days wo spent in the Cres-

Editor* Atlanta Sun: Our peoplo or.
moving with Bpirit and increased confi
dence iu our little railroad enterprise.
Tbo citizens of Elbertou are beginning
to subscribe liberally to its stock. The
rood will be of much interest to the peo
ple of Atlanta, and wu will be glad to
have her press and|people come forward
with encouragement in our behalf. We
feel confident that tbo people along the
line will be liberal in helping us.
After we have made earnest efforts, if
we should be a little short of means to
ntako this euterprize an early success,
would it not bo wise policy in Atlanta
and the Air-Line Road to lend us a little
help? We srill not ask for a large Barn,
if any; but think that Atlanta aud the
Air-Line Road should be considering tbe
benefits offered them by the construction
oi tho Elberton Air-Lino Branch Road,
and be ready to join ns in rose of emer
gency.
Tbe cost of construction tie arc led to
behove will not bo large, and a small
amount from each of thoso coiqsinttious
will insure its success.
Hart and Franklin counties are now
beginning to tako deep interest in this
matter. There will be a meeting held at
Henry's Church, Hart county, on the
24th Inst, and from present indications,
wc expect a large attendance. Our reg
