RECORDER ]
. HAMMOND.
There were only four cases tried at this court yes
terday morning, and all of these, except 8am Walker
(coL) were men whose abilities for kicking up a row
only equaled by their great modesty about seeing
their names in print.
No. 897 hsd carted out a first clssa barber for not
stopping bis business snd lending out his shop for m
marble ground. For this effort to instil neighborly
ideas into s colored brother he wss lifted $10 snd
costs.
No. 898 is s jolly fe’.low who can kick up a bigger
dust and keep at it longer than anybody. $10 and
costs.
Sam Walker (col.) happened to do a little private
cusain’ in the presence of a portly Alderman—$13.50.
No. 901 whipped out his opponents, and Hammond
thought he did right.
The “Recess” Last .light.
A RARE TREAT.
Those who were so fortunate as to be present at
*‘An Hour’s Recess,” given by W. H. Barnes, the At
lanta Amateur, at DeGive’s Opera House lsst night.
His performances are a strange and entertaining mix
ture of philosophy, common sense, wit, humor and
rare fun. In prose he excels, while in song he is al
most matchless. The writer has been to many places,
seen and heard many things, but never in our life
spent such s thoroughly enjoyable hour as at DeGlve'i
last night Barnes is oertainly a whole team by him
self. He was formerly sn Atlanta man, and at the
conclusion of his Recess last night quite a number of
his old friends went and congratulated Li.a on his
splendid success, snd insisted on his making Atlanta
his future home. The audience was large, select and
happy. We advise all who have an opportunity to
hear this gentleman, to embrace it.

We happened to be one of the lucky few to witness
this happy wedding and can bear testimony to the
loveliness of the bride, the happiness of the groom

I«o*seK from lloN.fi
i Fi
Messrs. Walker k Boyd, arent London Assurance
Corporation, have received the following telegram:
“New York, Mar si, 1873.
Tne iosb will fall short of twenty thousand dollars.”
Messrs. Cox and Hill are about putting up a first
class distil'ery at Stone Mountain, for the manufac
ture of a pure whits whisky oimilar and fully equal in
quality to the celebrated Scotch'ami Iririi whiskies.
The site Selected is near the edge of the beau tlx u
lake Bancroft, situated at the base cf this mighty
mountain, and purchased from Mr. T. T. Wright.
According to previous announcement tbe picnic ex
cursion gotten up under the auspices ot Trinity Sun
day School took place yesterday morning. At an early
hour people from different parts of the city came to
tbe car shed to take the train for Stone Mountain. The
members of the school turned out in almost full force,
and many friends joined them, which filled the cars to
repletion, many being unable to obtain seats though
all desiring to do so went, and by reason of the short,
smooth ride, made no complaint on account of the
crowded condition of the cars.
Reaching their destination in due time, nine-tenths
of tbe excursionists at once proceeded to ascend the
massive rock to its highest pinnacle and canvassed it
thoroughly. Of course every body who never made
the trip before was deceived as to the distance, and
were quite prepared for rest after returning to he bate
at the spring and tbe mountain house where provis
ions in abundance were ready for attention. The
committee on baskets bad gathered them all together,
opened them and spread their rich and varied
tents ovsr tables for the convenience of the crowd.
It is needless to say that no evidences that a tonic
petizer was needed were exhibited at this juncture
affairs. All had plenty and seemed satisfied,
party soon alter tnis returned to the train, and i
p. m. arrived at Atlanta without :my accident,-having j
enjoyed the diy pleasantly.
j ; INCIDENT* , ,

fr'.m At! ii'ta, was char** . v*:5h ,-jua improper <-m- :
The inward bound passenger train on the Air Line
Railroad, due here at six o’clock, did not reach the
city until nine o’clock on Thursday evening. The
delay was occasioned by the train running off the
track near Gainesville, while moving at full speed.
This was within a abort distance of a large tressle.
Some of the cars were considerably damaged but for-
tunately%no injury occurred to any of the passen
gers.
WHAT THE WESLEY CONGREGATION SAYS.
The foregoing diagram shows its position. As will
be seen it is directly opposite the new Methodist
Chnrch. The lot is a very small one, and if pur
chased by a private person a shanty is aa likely aa not
to be placed npon it. Naturally enough, having al
ready spent some forty thousand dollars upon their
church, the members of the congregation are uneasy
at the prospects of such a ih 5 ng.
Being heavily In debt, they are unab'.e to purchase
the lot themselves, but we understand tbat they are
ready to place a first-class iron fence around it, and to
convert the lot into a handsoma park if the city will
purchase it.
A MOVEMENT FOR ITS PURCHASE.
The possibility of the lot being sold for business
purposes has aroused a deep interest in *he matter,
and has rc- awakened the general desire on the part of
the people for a park. A petition has been cent to the
City Council asking the corporation to purchase it.
The holders of tbe property, it is stated, will do noth
ing t o prevent the city obtaining it at a reasonable
price, and are, indeed, themselves anxious that it !
should become the property of the corporation. A i
committee has been appointed to consider the petition
and report upon it to-morrow (Monday) evening, and
there is a general feeling that the purchase should be
made, not only in tbe interest of tbe church, but for
the purpose of making a start towards beautifying i
and ornamenting Atlanta.
A LIBERAL OFFER.
For the purpose of aiding in its purchase, two
wealthy gentlemen of Atlanta have cffeEed to contrib
ute seven hundred dollars of the money, and as it is
not believed tbat the lot will bring over fifteen hun
dred, it will be seen tbat the cost to the corporation
will be small. As has been already stated, nothing
more than the purchase of the ground is asked. The
iaclosing and laying out of the grounds will be done
by the citizens at their private expense.
DARKS NEEDED.
In view of the utter absence of a paik in the city
t his opportunity should not be neglected. It would
certainly be an outrage if a shanty was put up in front
of oca of cur finest Church edifices. The question,
however, ia not one so much in tbe interest of
Wesley Chapel as in that of Atlanta. Hence
gentlemen of all religious denominations
who have been addressed on the subject have given a
hearty approval of the project. Parks are needed
badly. As our population increases, the necessity for
these oases in tbe desert of brick stores and houses
will become more and more apparent.
LET IT BE BOUGHT.
The cost to the city will be the merest trifle—less
than five ctnts per head on our population. In poin t
of expense, therefore, no objection can be raised. It is
therefore, to be hoped tbat the City Council will
abandon for a time its strictly utilitarian
po icy, and opening iu heart so that a little sentiment
and a litile love of the beautiful nay enter, without
hesitation buy the lot, and give us one spot where we
can see the roses bloom and the velvet grass grow*
without knowing that they are private property.
Police Arrests.
Four parties had been arrested by the officers up to
ten o’clock lsst night. One of these was a negro man
for striking a small boy on the head at Brotherton’s
corner about six o’clock. After performing this in
teresting feat the offender attempted to escape, but
was addressed by Policeman Fuller in a very feeling
manner and prevailed npon to desist from his prog-

The Homestead Decision.
WHAT COL. H. D. CAPERS THINKS CF IT.
Covington, Ga., MayJ2, 1873.
Stanfordville, Putnam County:
My Dear Sir:
Your letter asking my opinion with respect
to the operations of the recent decisions of
the United States Supreme Court, bearing on
the constitutionality of the Homestead law,
as it is called in our State now, and as provi
ded for in the constitution of Georgia, adopt
ed by the Convention of 1868, Ac., has been
received.
Nothing cau be more plainly stated, than
the annunciation of the Supreme Court, that
Homesteads which have been set apart under
our Dew Homestead law, in the face of the
obligations of contracts, made prior to the
adoption of our State Constitution, are estates
created under the terms and provisions of a
State law which is retrouctive in its character,
and hence, made to impair the obligations ot
these contracts.
It is in view’ of this expost facto feature ol
the newr constitution of Georgia, that the
United States Supreme Court/declares the
“Homestead Law’ r of Georgia unconstitution
al, and, therefore, null and void.
No proposition cau be more hostile to the
genius of true constitutional law, and more
injurious to the liberties of our people than
the declaration made through our latter day
State legislation, that homesteads can or
should be maintained under the operations of
a statute, or the provisions of the organic
law, of a State which were enacted or have
been adopted since the creation of an obliga
tion, or a contract made in good faith, and at
a time when another homestead law was in
force, exempting from levy and sale but a
moity of the applicant’s estate.
I have never been able to discover in the
Homestead Jaw, when so applied, even an
equity which could bring it within the en
lightened conscience of this most liberal de
partment of jurisprudence. My opinion, as
you should know, has been umlormly, tbat it
was not based upon a single principle of
sound law; but was only to be considered as
the diplomatic address of certaiu shrewd
politicians who were courting popularity in
Georgia by appealing to a Very weak elemtnt
of our poor human nature.
Again, you ask me if 1 think your. Home
stead can be saved to your family through th«
operations of the Bankruj t law of the United
StateS. 1 answer you, that
stead has been set aside after
a lien of contracts on it, mad
adoption of our Suite coi
do not think that it will 1

enduring tho tiavetda of

as far as your case is conc<
in all I have written above with regard to the
decision ol U10 SapvtMuo Cpiul on Uu eyi*s;i-
tutiouality of the homestead lav/, a* passed
upon at Washington City.
So you see, my dear sir, aiier the lfipse of
four years only, we are again talking about
“homestead.’' You remember, evidently,
my advice then given to you, at my office 111
Eatonton, or 1 would not be writing my
friend this letter. Pray, allow me to repeat
in substance, it I should not i:i words. It’
you cannot pay your debts, which have been
justly and honorably contracted, seek jour
creditors; say to them tho truth, that you
have no money to waste in fruitless litigation,
and noue that you would have which has
been unjustly obtained. Have the moral
courage to admit to them that your misfor
tunes have made you a servant, and yet, you
are a proud mau who cannot work in chains
without being chafed to deatn. State exactly 1
your circumstances. Surrender your assets
to tho last article of value. In other words, j
let them sto that you are not disposed to de
fraud them, or any one else, by a dodge of a |
qaestioi.Mp chsracter, and that you will re
cognise no equity not founded in a good con
science, and n«> law that is not passed upon
the principles of common sense.
Now, then, lor my opinion again 1873
L. B. Langford has all kinds of furnishing
