Recorder’s Court.—We hereby accuse
His Honor of disorderly 'conduct and
using offensive language.* We started to
Court yesterday morning at an early hour,
intending to spend some time in silent
meditation od a subject which has for
months absorbed our every thought.
Wnile walking slowly along pondering
on this theme we spied in the street a
smooth sandy place. We sat down here,
and by arithmetical calculation deter
mined to solve the problem that had been
so long the burden and refrain of our
song ; wo were computing in the sand
how long it would be before we should
become President of these Untied States.
(We were wallowing and tumbling in the
“sands of Time.”) The circumstances of
the occasion suggested that immortal
stanza of Longfellow:
“ Tho lies of great men do remind us,
We can live a life of crime; *
And, skedaddling, leave behind us
Quicksands in the sands or timo.”
Just at this moment His Honor came
along, and observing his “right bower”
in this dilemma, stiffened his neck,
threw back his head, and in a most fa
miliar, patronizing tone, said: “Come
idong, sonny, with your papa; quit play
ing iu the sand; you’ll soil your clean
clothes; jump up, honey, and come
along 1” That was a cruel and unpar
donable blow to our schemes. At the
very moment we imagined ourselves the
embryo-president of. these Untied States,
here comes along some rough, inconsid
erate croaker to ridicule our fondest and
purest ambition by admonishing us to
quit playing in the sand J
. Wo were mad as the very , and
told His Honor he “wa-wa-was a-a-a-a
(boo-oo-oo-oo) d-d dat-dratted (boo-oo
old vixen.” Then you ought to have
seen His Honor. He waxed wroth.
Seizing us by our auburn locks, he drag
ged us to tho Court, and planting us in
the middle of the room, told ns if wo so
much as wiuked our eyes in three weeks
lie would “put a head on” us in “three
shakes of a sheep’s tail.” (We will just
remark that His ilouor could not do us a
greater favor.)
MR. SK1LES JOTT
was then called up and charge*I with
doing some little naughty thing unbe
coming* an ang-.l in heaven, and while
His Honor was searching this offender’s
pocket for $5, we slipped fiom our s‘a-
tion in the middle of the floor, to a hiding
place under the table, where this re
markable history was written.

came foward lo make their last “will and

Resignations and Executive Appoint
ments.—As will be seen in our edition
elsewhere, yesterday Mr. N. J. Hammond
sent in his resignation as Supreme Court
Reporter, which being accepted, he was
immediately appointed Attorney-General
for the State of Georgia, by His Excel
lency, Gov. Smith.
Immediately succeeding this, Capt.
Harry Jackson, of this city, sent in his
resignation as Representative of Fulton
county in the State Legislature, where
upon, he was appointed Supreme Court
Reporter, to succeed Mr. Hammond, re
signed. Both appointments, we feel as
sured, will meet with public approbation.
The Attorney Generalship.—Soon
after the inauguration of Gov. Smith, ho
tendered the appointment of Attorney
General to CoL P. W. Alexander, and it
is understood that the office has been
open to his acceptance all the while.
We learn, however, that he has defi
nitely declined the appointment, and so
notified the Governor yesterday.
Col. A. would have made a good officer
and served the State faithfully and with
credit; but the view he took of it is a
correct one; that ho can make more
money by following his profession.
