already made a reform in Atlanta theatricals
by keeping strolling fourth class troupes away
from the city, and it is determined that tbe
drama here shall be in all respects worthy of
the refined and critical tasts of our popula
tion. Mr. DeGive bad better veto that cur
tain. _
WE BEG TO BE EXCUSED.
We have received not less than fourteen
communications in relation to the Public
School question and Bible reading. Some
aro written by Protestants, some by Catholics
and some by Jews. On mature considera
tion we have determined not to publish any
of them. Nothing was farther from Mr.
Dodd's mind than the opening of au angry
discussion on the subject. His resolutions, as
they stand, contain nothing objectionable.
It is only what others may do with them that
threatens mischief. We have therefore closed
onr columns to all writers on the subject, be
cause we are determined that we shall not be
the medium through which any unpleasant
ness may arise. Behind the subject is a reli
gious altercation, and we do not believe in a
row about religion. Two or three years ago
we sat up for four nights in succession reason
ing with an acquaintance on theological dog
mas. After both parties had abused each
other to their heart’s content, they declared
peace and made friends ; whereupon investi
gation disclosed the fact that neither had
changed his opinion, and both had conse
quently wasted much valuable time.

Mount Airy, August 30, 1873.
A fatal cutting affray took place on last
Thursday the 28th instant, between a Mr.
Alexander, of Franklin county, and lately a
school teacher in Banks county and a young
man named Jno. Mors, of Bauks in that
county. Both partirs were highly respected
by all acquainted with them. Mr. Alexander
was cut first below the left nipple and was
found dead.
The man who was dangerously wounded
and whose back was supposed to bo broken,
is still alive, but his life is despaired of. No
particulars of the cause of the fatal affray can

Tbe Elberton Gazette says: Cotton is not turning
out according to the expectations of some, though it
will probably equal the crop of last year. The reports
concerning the corn crop are rather discouraging, and
a large yield i* not expected. A short wheat and corn
crop will cause a great deal of cotton money to be
spent for bread, to meet the demands for next year.

and excellent neighbor, died in Elberton last Sunday.

. The news from Massachusetts, which we
publish this morning, tells a significant story
of the decadence of the Northern people and
the progsess of Caesarism. Had the contest
over the primary elections for delegates to the
convention been an open one, Butler's extra
ordinary success would not have indicated
anything more than a moral blindness on the
part of the people. Bat this man is the pet
fend protege of the Federal administration,
and all, or nearly all, of the Federal officers
in Massachusetts supported him in his pre
tensions. They have certainly won for him
an overwhelming victory thus far, and in
their success they have demonstrated that
it is in tbe power of the President to nomi
nate whomsoever he may desire to hold a
State office.
If this primary election in Massachusetts
does not mean Otesarism it means that Grant
is all-powerfal in bis party and that his re-
election is merely a matter of his own choice.
There is a bare chance that the other primary
elections may turn the scale against Butler,
but we do not believe they will result other
wise than they have in Boston, Lowell, Wor
cester and other cities. And while it is more
than probable that Butler Is not the choice of
a majority of tbe Radicals, should he be
nominated, he will be voted for by all of
them and elected.
To us of the. South his nomination and
election will be of the smallest possible con
sequence. We will look upon it with philo
sophical calmness as a sign of the times, aud
another step towards empire. But that a
coward, a liar, a thief, a scoundrel and a
Beast like this man can be chosen to the
highest office in a State which has assumed
to be the embodiment of all the virtue and
morality of this Continent, will be merely a
vindication of the estimate long since placed
npon Yankee virtue and morality by the
Southern people.

the history of cotton raising hss there been a cotton
•crop that will prove more deceptive in the yield than
thisono. Three weeks ago planters were rejoicing
.over their tattering prospects, then expected s full
yield, bat and and dlffereut the tale to-day. Many
•who were expecting a fall yield then are now calcn-

Friday evening witnessed a gathering of tbe beaaty
and chivalry of Atlanta at West End, and the residence
of Major Wright beautified with all that cultivated na
ture and art canid bestow ; bright, beneath sheen
of a crescent moon, which, in silvered radiance
broke ia rythmic pulsee over the splendors of nature
and art, was the scene of the magnificent display. Tbe
residence, brilliantly illuminated snd merry with the
sounds of music, presented a scene animated and
beautiful, while the garden outside invited us to bow
ers in which might be heard and seen the rustling
of silks aud laces, the whispering of soft
word* and blushing of faces. Many of the dancer*
appeared merely in domino, indifferent in character,
but boundiog with merriment. Among the striking
character* which appeared to adorn the scene and
charm the gaze were Mis* Lizzie O—, of Alabama, a*
beautiful Snow; Mia* Irene W—, of West End. as
beautiful Bslle; Mis* Sis W—, as Pocahoutas.
Among the comic character* which gave spice to the
occasion was Miss Lizsle M., as Mother Goose. Tbe
characters were all appropriately dressed, and well
represented. The occasion was one more to be en
joyed than talked about. Music, dancing aud beauty,
are always the objects of pleasant enjoyment and like
the sparkling eye and mellow voice, must be seen and
heard to be fully appreciated.
