For instance, Uncle Tom Reynolds, he of that little bantam, the Atlanta Inde pendent, is always ‘-jawing” at the city government. It can’t please him, and they have done quit trying. The muscular strength of his jaw is proverbial, and he should have studied th« law instead of the ‘‘art preservative.” The following is from the last issue of the Independent: Were we going to a write a book of Atlanta and its institutions, the three leading things thereof woHld be the Police Arrests, the Recorder’s Court and Moore’s Machine.

To the Editors of the Hermld: Will the good people of Atlanta allow the stain which rests upon Paganism to be fixed upon their growing, aspiring city ? There is not, perhaps, on the continent, a citv having the population of Atlanta, that is without a hospital for the sick. Why is this ? Cer tainly not because there is not in the city the means to establish one, nor the want of that Christian virtue, charity, which prompts the establish ment of such institutions. It is because there has not been that unanimity of toutiment and action which is essential to the success of all snch enterprises. A charter ha3 been lately obtained by the kind offices of a most excellent lady which brings this question squarely before the community, and will test it upon its merits. Some kindheirted cor respondent of your paper has brought tbe matter to the notice of the public. I would aid that person in this praise-worthy work. The calls of humanity, as well as an interested policy demand snch institutions, and all well governed cities have felt and appreciated their importance. Tbe municipal authorities have declined to give any material aid to a hospital, and. perhaps, after all, it is better that they should not inaugurate the enterprise, especially, if they should desire to control it in con sideration of the support which they m.gfct give it. That honorable body already has on hand j ffis enough | > divide out aud keep its hands clean. And, then, it afaonld not be exposed to other temptations than those to which it is made subject, in providing for hungry aspirants for p!a:e. It is, doubtless, made of stuff stern enough, but poor human nature needs all the props and supports that can be supplied to pre vent it falling. It is better, perhaps, that the hospital should be established by pri-. va‘e donations, and put under the control of less ambitious men, and of those who have no favors to dispense. This would also relieve tbe Honorable Mayor and Aldermen, and the enter- pri ting officials nnder them, of the onerous burdens which an exacting community has imposed upon them. Their public-spirited self-denial should excite some feelings of compassion in the bosoms of an iu- dulgent constituency. The Georgia Western Railroad and the Water Works are enterprises fully equal to their energies without Lacking them with other strains. And then, the present Council may not have acquired,in the eyes of tbe people, a perpetual tenure of office, and may find themselves high privates next January, and, therefore, it would not be in good taste for friends to have them committed upon such matters. They might promise what their want of position might prevent them from fulfilling. Then let all our good citizens forget any discussions or differences of opinion which may have divided them upon this subject, and unite in giving material aid to the ladies who are cha Tged with raising funds for this noble end. *** don’t pretend to say, but there is a slsck twisted- uess which is at times a great annoyance to our folks —fast driving, obstructions on tho sidewalks, nui sances around of various kinds, and so on and so on. A change is needed to add to order and comfort. Now, what sort of a change, uncle do you want? We have been overhauling the Recorder’s docket for tbe present year, and made a note of it. There has been docketed and tried, up to yesterday morning, 1,40) cases, even. Up to the same timo last year there had been 1.052 cases—a falling 6ff of 652 cases for this year. Up to this time there has been nearly $5,000 in cash collected for flues, and the city has received from those who were unable to pay their fines, over 1,060 clays of work. Further, there has been more money collected an 1 paid into the city treasury from this court for the first six months of this year, than was collected during the whole twelve months of the pro ceeding administration. And now adjust you nose glasses and see if you "can’t eee any evidence of regu lation in this fair city of ours.” We give you this in formation, and hasten to business. [When the Court adjourned on the previous day, it ft over for another meal some hash, one dish of which was Ormand Green. Mr. Green was verdant enough to think that he could form a tangling alliance with lUrleycorn and not wound tbe feelings of the authorities, in which idea Mr. Green was egregriously wrong. The guard found him as he lsy in the plebian dust, late in the evening, with his dilapidated hand kerchief aud a fierce dog by his side. Green is a waif upon tbe waters, buffeted about by adverse winds, and out of sight of alt the landmarks of his better days. He had been sitting up with a cholera morbus patient, and hail takeu ail liis physic for him, out of pure good nature, aud hence the result. The guard raised him sympathetically, and carefqlly folding him in his arms, carried him to bed at tho public expense and labelled him ‘ other diseases.” The Court taxed the liquor in his system eight dollars. When the man who has the job for numbering the houses, came to the suburban residence of Lizer Floyd, and nnbeknowns’t to that lady, tacked up her number, 5,641, Mitchell street, the glaring, gilt edge letters were too dazzling for Lizer’s comprehension, and she immediately demanded to know what it meant. The number man, being of a jocular turn, remarked, "I’m the tax man, and ffant to find ont which of you niggers pay taxes and which don’t.” This was taxing Lizur beyond her dignity, and she avenged the reflection upon her honesty by seizing an axe and cutting down the mark on the door facing. She cams forward, and the court explained tho num bering process to her entire satisfaction, for which bit of information she pays $5. Andrew Mitchell, a small sized, innocent looking Af rican cherub, pays five and costs for placing bricks on the McDonough street railway. Four little black trump cards, of tho ace of spades persuasion, had mounted the little Italian harpist, and after flooring him proceeded to riffle his pockets. They only obtained a base ball and eome maccaroni, for which they each ball to ibe music of ten and costs. Miss Medora Barnet was discovered by the police awaiting the coming of her Corsair, in snch a derang ed and dishabillious condition of toilette as to shock the modesty of the church-goers in Brooklyn. She was sent to tho workhouse to button op! A. Mascn—and, as for that matter, an odd fellow be sides—was up for throwing a brickbat at a crowd of disreputable little negroes—tbe same batch alluded to above. Just as his brick was speeding on its errand of Wednesday morning was tbe first day of tbe Clay ton county Fair. Everything had previous y been prepared for a successful entertainment, and the Fair Grounds were one msss of living beings before noon. The display of home productions were considerable. Various kinds of cern, wheat, oats, rye and vegeta bles of all kinds were on exhibition. Horses, mules, cattle and live stock generally were very liberally rep resented. The household department was fine. Bed clothing, ladies’ and children’s wearing apparel, needle-work, piano covers, etc., were flue; while any and every thing in the way of cakes, jellies, preserved fruits, and sweetmeats generally, were in luscious profusion. A large quantity of bTead was exhibited and gave uni versal satisfaction. There was some racing, both trotting and run ning. Also a negro race, which created considerable amusement. A mule trot was highly interesting. When the train arrived from Atlanta, bearing Hon. B. H. H'll and Governor Smith, who had come down by special invitation, they were met at the depot by the military company, who was headed by a splendid brass band, and escorted to the Fair Grounds. At 11 o'clock Mr. Hill was called upon, and in one hour and fifteen minutes, he regaled the crowd with one oi the most interesting and sensible speeches he ever made. He portrayed the situation of the country in the agri. cultural and governmental aspects, and setting forth the danger and remedies to be applied. He said the country was getting poorer every year, and advanced the most wholesome and sound advice for the recupera tion of Georgia that the good farmers of that section ever listened to. We cannot at this time give any thing like a correct report of Mr Hill’c speech, but learn that it will be published in pamphlet form, and distributed over tho whole country. At the conclusion of Mr. Hill’s address, Gov. J. M. Smith arose and in his plain, practical way enchained the attention of tho crowd for over an hour in one of his ablest talks. He spoke of the agricultural interest the greatest interest of the country and one which demanded tbe greatest care and foresight, and that when the farmers prospered everything prospered. He illustrated by sayiug that if the lawyers were pro hibited from practising for one year there wonld but little damage result to the country’, snd some money saved to the clients. That if ihe doctors were dis pensed with for the same length of time, some per sons might die, but a great many would in all proba bility be better off. If the mechanics should fail to work for one year, it might subject some people to some inconvenience, but let the agricultural interests stop for twelve months, and no one coaid depict the horrors of the situation. Then, as agriculture is more important than all other pursuits it demands more thought than ail. He called attention to the sadden abolition of slave ry and the disruption of all system of labor; and now, after six or seven years’ experience we had really no system still. He said that man would be tne greatest benefactor of his country now who would show us how to make tho labor of the lately emancipated slaves available, and how to control it so as to form a sure basis for future calculations. Tho great difficulty is, we are unable to control the labor of the country. He then went on to show how our sit uation, since the close of tho war, had grown worse and worse; that we are getting poorer and poorer, and referred to statistics to prove his assertions, and that in every article of produce there had been a diminished amount COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS. Atlanta, Ga.. August 8, 1873. Council met, present the Mayor and a full Board of Aldermen, except Aldermen McLendon. Tbe minutes of last meeting were read. Alderman Morris moved to reconsider so much of the proceedings as relates to the extension of gas on Peters street from W. B. Lowe’s residence to W. D. Mitchell’s etore. Tbe motion lo reconsider prevailed. Alderman Goldsmith moved to reconsider so much of the minutes as relates to the extension of gas on Marietta street.

A protest signed by Aldermen Brothorton, Langston and Mecas’.in against the extension of gas in the city, was ordered spread upon tho minutes. Tbe following is Iho protest: " We, the undersigned, ost respectfully protest against any main gas exten sion being laid at tha expense of the city, for the foi' lowing reasons: First. Because, to extend mains on any street, at the expense of the public, when the Gas Company gets the entire benefit, is wrong, in our judgment, and should not bo done. Second.

Astronomer No. 1, A. G. Gosy, of whom, when be is half seas over, it is needless to ask "How goes it?” was found by the police on his back in tbe middle otthe street, indulging in the following apos trophe to Sirius, the Dog Star: "Oh! you party shinin’ star, Away off up thar so far. A blazen away so awful bright, What a party, purty sight! "Right in tbe end of that purp’s nose, A good piece off from said purp’s toes, You are sinkiDg away so monstrous fine— I can’t think up another line!” The guard persuaded him to take up the "line” of march, and the Recorder consigned him to tbe place of departed spirits. Astronomer No. 2 was a young man with a hole in his "close,” found propped up against a corner post, with one eye open and bis head cocked, was thus sere nading the moon: " Roll on, thou ball, roll on ! Through seas of inky air Roll on. It’s true I’ve got no shirts to wear; It’s true my butcher’s bill is due; It’s true my prospects all look blue.

Lizzie Hambleton accused Elmira Scott of coming between her and her husband, and putting on airs generally. This raised the jealousy of Lizzie, and she raised tho old scratch with Elmira. Upon a glance at Lizzie, tbe Court let her eff with five and costs. Margaret Valentine, Eate Hamilton, Ella Cunning ham and Laura Collier were composed and arranged into a beautiful boquet of swcetscented African tulips. They were quite a bevy of fair, freckled and lamp black frailities who swept into Court, b.inging with them, if not the "airs from heaven,’* least a little of the Frangipand the Willingham paradise. They came all to testify as to tho indelicate remarks of Laura Collier, a molasses colored queen, who had been furtively and also publicly asserting her opinion of the three other fairies who came with her. The de tails elicited were sufficient, not only to mulct Laura ten and costs, int the Court closed the proceedings of the day by allowing the three witnesses each to pay the same amounts. JafctiGk’ Courts. The magistrates were employed yesterday in issuing warrants for offenders and disposing of cases made against parties for various misdemeanors, etc. His Honor, W. P.

Becca Boyd sued out a warrant against Carrie Hall- charging her with tbe larceny of some pieces of clothing. The matter waa investigated, the article of goods tarned over to the prosecutor and further pro ceedings abandoned. D. M. McCatchlns also procured a warrant against 0* rlo* Ginsberger for simple larceny, but tbe par- Jfss, after having a conversation, announced satisfac tion. snd asked permission to withdraw the warrant. Which was granted. Jnda Horton, colored, also obtained a warrant for uct Room, for cheating and swindling, bat this, too, withdrawn. kearrertxd. Constable J. H.

Br&therton is determined to close out. tf Why this decrease in the productions of the country? We have the same laborers, tbe same number, and same quantity of land, with the increase! fertilizers we every year consume. Yet, with all these things staring us in the face, our productions have been 40 per cent, less than in 1860. He proceeded to account for the distressed situation of the country, and said our smoke-houses and corn- cribs, instead of being at home, were in the North western States, and that these States control our meat and bread, and we are at their mercy, and have to give them their own prices for it. He who controls your meat and bread is your master, and yon are his slaves. Georgians, you are slaves to-day of " middle men,” ‘corner men” and "brokers.” Ho counseled them to plant whatever of food was necessary for subsistence in their own fields, thereby becoming independent of outsiders. The number of idle negroes who infest our towns and cities are compelled to live, and instead of work ing and becoming producers, they are mostly thieves and consumers. People must go to first principles—go to work, and raise their children to work, and let the negro go. An entire revolution must take place on the subject of labor, else two-thirds of the Staio would become a howling wilderness. Already, Southwest Georgia, people are sell ing their rich farms, which are worth from twen ty to fifty dollars an acre, for four and five, and mov ing higher np the country, because there labor con trols capital, and their lands are valueless to them The only labor we get now is out of old negroes who were accustomed to it, and when the next generation of negroes come on there is no ground of a shadow of hope for laborers. The Governor thinks it a splendid investment for the State to have a thorough survey and analysis made of the entire State, so as to find out what our soil is best adapted to, etc. The entire speech was repleto with uncommon good ideas, aud was most enthusiastically received by the crowd. Yesterday closed the second and last day of the Fair, and we hope much substantial good may result, not only to ths farmers of Clayton county, but to the en tire State. Rome Items.

Gold quiet at A Gambling House.—Ladies are forbidden to step forth within the precincts of lir. John Morrissey’s great and elegant gambling house. This veto was put upon the ladies by the Young Men’s Christian Association, for the purpose of saving the ladies and ruining the men ; or, as would appear most clearly in sen sible minds, for the purpose of ruining both, for how are women to be saved if men go to destruction? And much more certain is the fact that sbntting the women out from any place where men congregate is the best means in the world to abandon it to doubtful fate. A lady, however, went into John Morrissey’s house the other day, and looked it over. Sho was accompanied by a highly agreeable and intelligent Southern gentleman, to whom she is greatly indebted for a minute explanation of the workings of this institution, its follies and failings. The house is magnificent in fresco ing, carving, furniture, cut gloss, carpets and chandeliers, beyond anything that can proba bly be seen in this country. The card tables were covered, as it was very early in the morning, so she was deprived of witnessing the games. The most extravagant and costly food is served here on plates of silver and gold. The waiters are the beat trained. Jlere is the office where the business of racing is done, the pools bought and sold. One looks upon tho whole thing, takes a realizing sense of its all, and exclaims, “What an elegant and snperb hell!” LOCAL NOTICES. A great Horror done «w«y with. Home cleaning is a great horroT to nine men men oat of every ten. When that time comes the “men folks,” as a rule, give the domestic hearth a “wide berth.” Oceans of suds—tbe product of tons of soap—fairly flood every part of the house. Tho women, from the mistress down, labor ns they never worked before, and what with the discomfort, the smell of suds and the dampness, and not nn- frequently sickness, the product oi oolds and overwork, matters are generally disagreeable. The simple use of Sapolio instead of soap does sway with all thiB discomfort It light ens the labor a hundred per cent, because it removes dirt grease, stainH and spots, with hardly any labor, with but little water, and in one-tenth tbe usual time. nug8-lw Retail dealers in city and country can always find Bacon, Flour, Grain, Hay, Ac., Aa., at july*3-tf Dunn, Ooletbxe A Co’s.
