A Correction.—It was Robert H. Badger, colored,
whose appeal case was tried by Council Friday night,
and not Dr. Ralph Badger, as incorrectly stated in the
Council proceeding* of yesterday morning.
Georgia White Wheat.—Yesterday we saw
order from an extensive wheat grower in Middle Ken
tucky to one of our commission merchants, ordering
fifty bushels of Georgia white seed wheat. This looks
like reversing the order of things, but it must not be
forgotten that this grade of wheat is superior to any
raised in Kentucky, hence it Is eagerly sought after by
fancy flour men of that section. The order was filled
and shipped.

blackest cat, and her lips, Jerusalem! hold my hat!
My arm was around her little waist, and I got ready
her lips to taste ; but whenever I do a thing so chaste,
never am I in such haste. 'Tit mkl when you kiss the
Na York girls, with pretty blue ize and hair that curls,
they ask you what you are about, and give you & slap
right on the snout. Tha Western girls, they make no
bother, if you kiss them on won cheek, they turn the
other. But give me the Atlanta girl for kiasiug—they
beat all the otheri clean to nothing—whenever you
give wun on 'em a smack, they purse up their lips and
kiss you back.
But to my story; my dearest Judge don’t git weary;
for if I did git off mi track, I've now without trouble

I presented Mattie’s form to mine, and looked down
in her ize, and so I enddent breathe for sigbs.
Nearer, nearer, mi lips tu hers did sneak, I felt her
warm breth on my cheek; I give her little baud a
squeeze ; then raising up her bed she sed: “Take kare

Jonsen wiped his eyes, and the court took down his

doing this, he went out and embraced the sidewok.
Foiling to take tbe street up in'hia arms, he concladsd
to stay with her and await the coming of the gentle

Officers’ Costs in the City Courts.
To the Editors of the Herald :
The statute giving to the officers of the City Court
the proceeds of the farming out of convicts from the
City Court, is so plain that “he who runs may read.”
The language of the section—(49 of tho City Court
act)—is: “That all moneys collected from fines and
forfeitures, and all other sources [by the agency of the
City Court, of course] alter payment of all costB due to
the officers of said Court, be paid over,” etc.
This source is iucluded in the phrase “all other
sources,” because “fines and forfeitures” embrace the
usual sources, and this “source” reenltsoa muchfrom
the action of the City Court as tbe forfeiture of a bond

To the Editors of the Hrrald :
Why not give State aid to ootton factories ? For
yesrs, since the first introduction of railroads, in foot,
it has been the policy of the State snd Federal govern
ments to subsidize railroads. Political demoralization
snd high taxation combined have driven capital snd
enterprise from South. A continuance of tho some
causes combined will produce tho same effects in the
future.
Powerful snd unequalled resources ho dormant
throughout tho South—in Georgia especially, and ad
jacent to Atlanta more portteuterty. We have cotton,
the raw material, ln abundanoo around us. We have
facilities and water power unsurpassed at our very
doors.
The seeds of unbounded prosperity abound in our
midst. Tbs germs of unlimited wealth lie open to
development.
To develop this wealth aad advance the march of
prosperity there is but the one thing (needful,
brood and enlightened policy of legislation. A prompt
adaptation of this policy on the part of our Legislators
will soon lift os from the leeched ashes of oor desola
tion, and the ran or a bright future will ever more
shed its light aronnd ns.
I propose that our Legislature pees an set giving
certain privileges to cotton factories established dar
ing s certain term of years—the franchise to ran foi
twenty-five or fifty yesrs, tree from taxation.
I propose again that the 8tate endorse the bonds, oi
s certain amount of them, and guarantee the interest
on these bonds for s certain tom of
Such a measure will soon moke itself felt It will
cause capital to blow in amongst us. The monied
monopolists of England snd America will turn a
yearning eye upon so fair an opening for investment.
Capital will follow. Immigration will follow. Pros
perity will advance and halfway meet the bright smile
of a broken people’s returning bappinecs.
Can I hope that you will enlarge upon snd advocate
my proposition through your columns?
I am, respectfully,
Wilbur F. Johnson.

Atlanta, August 30,1873.
To the Editors of the Herald :
By au Ordinance of the City Council, passed last
night, the jank dealers of this city were put upon the
same footing of slaughter houses, aud required to
move their business outside of the city limits or
corporation. We, the principal houses of the city,
dealers in Junk, meaning the purchase of "hides, rage
and such other articles,” claim that we have commit
ted no nuisance, but if so, let the Recorder or such
officer of the city, whose bueiness it is, estab
lish the fact. We claim to be law abiding
citizens, doing a legitimate and bocea
business, for which we have paid the city, county and
State, and hold our authority from the proper officers
thereof, aud therefore expect and demand the privi
lege of prosecuting our line of bueiness without fur
ther molestation. It is probably an unknown fact
that the junk business ln this city exceeds two millions
of dollars per annum. Shall this enormous business
and revenue to the wealth and prosperity of our city
be squelched simply for the whim of some
delicate fancy? Shall we be defrauded
of tbe. privileges we have already paid for,
because it is objected to by our neighbor ?
desire, before closing this communi
cation, to ask yeur attention to the
terrible condition of the cellars of some of the whole
sale grocers, and the chicken coop* kept upon side
walks, snd the privies in the rear of nearly every store
also salt pork and livery stables. Are these not equally
and even more objectionable and unhealthy than a
green bide or s bale of rage. Why should these
things be considered correct, end junk matter ad
judged a nuisance? Poes not this seem unreasonable?
As the city loci eases, private residences must share
the same fete they have in all other cities—that is.
give way to the march of business enterprise. Whole
streets in New York snd Boeton, once the homes of
the wealth snd fashion of those elties, are now occu
pied by the hide trade.
We ask nothing but justice, but we will submit to
nothing short of it
