To the Rescue op Sidewalks.—We wore rejoiced yesterday morning to hear HU Honor, Beoorder Mitchell, express Lie determination to impoae a heavy fine on person* who, in their anxiety to avoid tbs maddy streets, commit unpardonable depredations on the sidewalks to tho dis comfiture of plodding pedestrians. We grant that tho streets arc in s wotnl condition, and at some places arc aotaally jsyagKatjfri by man or beast, bat this docs net warrant parsons in bps- passing on the sidewsllu to the great inconvenience of footmen. Some of tlip aidewalke in tho oity which, a few wooks since, were in admirable condition, are now shamefully mutilated, until it is . quit* impossible to discern wham atde- V walk ends and carriage way b^ina. One example of s heavy penalty will pot #atop to theae depredations Let the gffenden be fined to tho extent of the law, ragardlras of chonmstanccs, un- theyba such as common justice de lla should be respected. The Case op the Georoia National Bank.—To morrow is the time set for hearing the injunction case, bronglit by tba Georgia National Bank against the State of Georgia to regain possession of the Bank and its assets. This case presents seme anomalous features. It is, or its face, against Capt. G. W. Anderson, Deputy Sheriff.— Why is this ? Captain is only an officer, who, a* such in the discharge of his duty, has executed a process against and taken possession of the Bank. He ia not a party to the ease in any tense whatever. This suit was brought by the State, and not by Capt. Anderson. He does net represent the State, and has nothing to do with the case, save to obey the law and discliargo whatever duties it may impose on him; yet the Bank has tried to make him a party to the case. In this it seems to os the Bank must fail, tor every one knows that Ok 9dc, and not Capt. Anderson, is tho party which seized tho bank. Tbe Bank has ucitber complaint nor cause of complaint against him, and therefore no injunction oan or should lie against him. This is a suit commenced in tho State Coarts, and should there ho kept The laws of Georgia aro ample to afford every necessary redress. It is the praying of an injunction by Federal authority against the Stato and tho process of the State Courts, tbe granting of which is prohibited by the Constitution end laws of the United States. The Constitution, Articlo XI, declares that the Judicial power of the United States sbull not bo c mat rued to extend to any suit in law or equity, oommenced or proeccutod against one of tbe States by citizens of another State, and an act of Congress in 1793 provides specially, that no injunc tion shall be granted to restrain the ex ecution of a process of a State Court This appeal to the United States Court by the Bank looks badly for its officers. It is an effort to do that wbicb tbe law forbids, and to get np n conflict between Stato and Federal authorities, and looks like a step in tbe Grant cloctionering programme and an effort to make issues out of wbicb to manufacture political capital. ftw Right Step.—Governor Smith’s proclamation is a step hi the right direc tion. Wo call tho attention of Henry Clows and his swindling Bond Bing to it. Ho has taken a great deal of unnecessary pains to assail Dr. Angier on points not germane. Here lie nnd his chums linvo the square, honest facts and tho law laid down to them. Lot all tako notice that Georgia will not recognize, but will re pudiate swindling, unlawful promises to l>ay of the Bnllock-Blodgoti administra tion. Whoever Georgia honestly owes she will pay; but dishonest claims will be repudiated. Carleton, tbo publisher, informs Mrs. Westmoreland that the salo of Httirr- Hunory is a sucoeos. Ku-Klcx Arrests—Another Huin- iianded Outrage.—Last Thursday night and Friday, Dr. E. II. ltichardson, Charles Bunn. James Crocker, Thomas Crocker, John W. Crocker, Geo. Mobley, Thomas Davis, nnd Waits, of Poll; county, wero arrested at their homes by tlio Deputy United States Marshal, nud brought to this city. This was at tho instanco of one Muslin Allred, of that county, who 1ms twice boon indicted for hog-stealing, and onco for perjury—tho latter oaao now pending before tlio Superior Court of that county. Allred procured these arrests do doubt, to prevent these persons from testifying against him in this very perjury cosc. In tho warrant upon which thceo parties were arrested Allred charges that they had assisted ia whipping him in the night, being disguised asKn-Ktnx. He has heretofore made this charge against these men before tho Grand Jury of Talk county and failed to sustain it. When brought to trial the men proved poeitively that they wore not guilty of tho alleged whipping, whereupon tho Grand Jury preferred a cliargo of per. jury against him, npon which ho will, no doubt, bo convicted whenever ho can be brought to trial. These men all appeared before United States Commissioner W. B. Smith yes terday, but Allred did not put in an ap- pcorauco. They aro to have a hearing to-morrow if Allred appears. All of them, except the first three, are in jail They aro all respectable men, who attend to their own business nud interfere with no one. Such outragos aro perpetrated under the Grant Badioal Kn-Klux Law of Con gress.

[Communicated.] Public Sympathy in the Gate City is fast centralizing into a virtuous sentiment in behalf of honesty, and in deep-toned thunders of justice the lightning of God's wrath is consuming the vile, craren spirits, who have so long been prowling in this community, and hanging to tbe boily-politic like morbid leeches, socking out the life blood of society. Let the “Augean stablis” lie cleaned out—let investigation rigidly search for villiauies, and he who cannot v.ndicata bit honest integrity, let bis be scourged by the lash of justice, and afterwards, let him go to some uncivilized locality if he be at ill determined on his misirebte career. Tho Committee deserve great praise. Whenever a community relaxes from inexorable protection of its honest mem bers from public plunderers,general demo ralization aooner or later wifi disintegrate the bond that uuitas the integral pertaof government and society. If there is not public virtue enough in this oommunity to punish crime, our “ good name ” and onr prosperity are gone I While we shudder with commiseration at poor, misguided humanity, bleeding at every pore, and shad streaming tears of sorrow to behold our “ brother naan,” prostrate in tbe loathsome gutter of crime; vet, when we think of tbe many bright flow ers, that day by day, are fading, wither ing, falling away from the Tree of Life, leaving it almi at bare, “ on this shore by horror haunted," O, how the virtuous son! rises in glowing sympathy, moving in bounding impulses to revive that Tree, watering its drooping branches with tears gUBliing from the innermost depths of tho spirit—yearning to make that Tree again to bud—to bloom with newness of life 1 With deep felt sorrow, with iutenser love of the beautifnl and good, let the work of purification progress. “The Best Policy.” “Old Rkluiu* Theatrh."—Of tho compauy which commences to perform at DoGive's to-morrow night tho Lynch burg Republican of tho 7th instant says "The lateness of tho hour to which the performance laat night was protracted precludes any notice from us, further than tho general announcement that it was like all previoua exhibitions of the com pany—a brilliant suocess. Tho chaste and beautiful tragedy ol "Fazio” was ren dered in a masterly manner, Helen D'Eato, F.'A. Tannehill and J. B. Scott, as usual, performing their parte with oon- summatc skill and being ably supported by the company. “We part with then ladies and gentle men with deep regret During their so journ hero they have made a more favor able impression than any other company ever did, and all their success was dearly earned. They had neeoeamrily to oon- tand with the eld aad Mmo-honored pre judices which aro inseparably connected with tho stage, and which aro nowhere stronger than in Lynchburg. But they triumphantly overcame it all,and stand to day tho only unoxceptionably popular ipany that has honored Lynohborg with their presence for many years. "We really envy onr Petersburg friends the pleasure they will enjoy in witnnising 1 the performances of this excellent oorn-1 pany, and sincerely trust that we may ■oon have the plenanre of announcing I their return to Holcombe Hall.” Atlanta, Ga., February 18, 1872.— Editors Daily Sun—Gentlemen: Tho ar ticle that appeared in yonr paper of the 17th instant, iu rofercuco to my State taxation, when I proffered to become one of tho bondsmen of Mr. H. O. Hoyt, was erroneous, as I admitted nothing of the kind as to the return of my State taxa tion being 88,500, and can say at this present time that I am worth more than tlio bond of Mr. Hoyt callod for, clear of all liabilities. I am no advocate of embezzlement, and in offering to becomo one of the bondsmen of Mr. II. O. Hoyt, I done so in good faith and reciprocation to his post kinducss to mo wlion ia trouble. The above are facts, and no straw at tached to them. By inserting tho sbovo in the columns of yonr pnper yon will greatly oblige A. T. Finney. Panic.—There was quite a rush on tho bnukB yesterday for deposits. West End Reading Club. — This charming organization liod its regular semi-monthly meeting on Thursday eve ning last at tho residence of Dr. Alexan der, iu West End. Owing to illness in the family of some ot tho officers, the usual business exercises were dispensed with, and tho evening fled away uncon sciously in a pleasant social reunion of tho worthy members. For much of the evening’s enjoyment many of the guests aro indebted to tho elegant Miss Susie C-, of Newnau. A Handsome Monument.—Probably tho handsomest piece of sculpture over executed in tho city is now bring com pleted at tho marble yard of Mr. D. N. Judson. The monument is made of pore Italian Marble, fashioned into an elegant slab ot Gothio finish. The monument is to be erected over tbe remains of the rolict of Mr. James B. Wylie, at Cal houn, Ga. On the face is aoulptored an elaborate and bountiful wreath of flowers in which is engraved in bold relief the word "Wire.” At tho base of the slib is tho word “Mother.” Surmounting both these inscriptions is a beautifully executed design of a lea?, symbolic of tho last repose of the sleeper. The entire design is original with tho sculptor, Mr. H. P. Guess, a native Southern man, who hae been employed on tho monument for about a month.— Tho work will lie completed at a cost of about $100. Mr. Judson has long been identified with Atlanta, and has for many yuan been a prominent manufacturer and dealer in Italian and American marble,monuments, Ac. He has successfully demonstrated the fact that the South ia not entirely de pendent upon Northern sculptors for ele gant workmanship. We greet with plea sure this effort to bnild np this noblo art in this country. Local & Business Notices. IQ. Judge Lochrane’s Office is No. 14, Kimball House. Office hours, 9 to 1. febitf.
