Masquerade Ball at Chalybeate —
Brilliant Exhibition—Dancing—TJn>
mashing—High Old Times—What
We Saw, etc.
Correspondence Telegraph and Messenger.]
Those who missed the brilliant masquerade
ball at Chalybeate on the 25th inst., must seek
consolation in regrets. We dare say a more
pleasant occasion was nevor enjoyed by boys
and girls together. The characters were varied,
full of interest and finely represented by the
dash, wit and beauty of Chalybeate. The hall
was crowded with spectators and there was lots
of fun. We hope Hut none of yonr readers will
become offended if we fail to give an adequate
description of this brilliant affair. At 9 o’clock
the masqued party entered the hall amid the
vociferous cheering and curious gaze of a large
audience, creating a perfect sensation. The
costumes presented a singular contrast, the
splendor of some reminding ns cf heaven, and
the grotesque appearance of others, making one
feel like he was near the infernal region, with
the devil after him. The dancing soon com-,
menoed, and there was
Some dancing for high and some for low,
Dancing with whom, we did not know.
We got onr pencil and paper out to tike
characters; but we were in a perfect pandemo
nium. All we could hear was laughing and noise
—all we could see was mysterious forms. But
there was no use a talking—wo finally had to
face the music.
“Is that you, John?” screamed an old lady
(enmasked) apparently 100 years old, half bent,
with specks on.
“I specks it is,” says L
Well John, I rode horseback with yer father
79 years ago. I am glad to see yon.”
This character represented old “Grand Ma,’
and was decidedly the character of the evening.
We were surprised to learn that the old Grand
Ma, who had attracted the universal attention
of the house, with her wit and fan, should be
the beautiful Miss Mary Th’mas, of Columbus.
The Queen of Sheba was finely sustained by
Miss Fannie B., of Va., who wore a purple robe
trimmed in ermine, velvet train.
Good for nothing Nan, Miss Carrie B’ts, of
Macon, was a splendid representation and very
much admired. Dress—yellow skirt, white bib
apron, flaxen locks, with a seaside hat on which
looked like the relic of a small hurricane.
Miss Georgia H’dwick, of Columbus, repre
senting the Empire State, was gorgeously at
tired in a white dress elaborately trimmed with
blades of com.
As beantifnl as a dream fell npon ns the vis
ion of a form we recognized, dressed in a green
tarleton trimmed with shucks, which we will
call “Shucks,” a very unique and original
character, was borne out admirably by the lovely
Miss Mary I’grham, of Columbus.
The charming Miss Mary O., of Albany, ap
peared in the beloved character of Mary Queen
of Scots, and looked as sweetly as ever did the
Queen herself.
Miss Mary H’ward, of Columbus, in a mag.
nifieent costume, covered over with little hearts,
cards, beads, etc., representing her profession,
presented the brilliant character of Queen of
Hearts, and won new conquests for herself in
this role.
The beautiful Miss Lela S’hford, of Macon,
in a black dress bespangled with stars, whose
brilliancy was heightened by a coronet of gold,
presented one of tho most becoming and grace
ful figures of the evening.
There was a charming little lassie, Miss Davis,
who wore an orange tarlton, trimmed with strips
of silver and gold, representing sunshine, that
will long be remembered.
The coquettish and very pretty little Miss Sal-
lie O. L’chart, Columbus, presented the Daughter
of the Regiment in a most captivating style.
The French colors, canteen, flag, belt and pistol
were displayed in an admirable manner. Her
dancing was faultless, her movement the poetry
of motion and her form floated on onr vision
like a dream.
Miss Maggie "W’iker, of Columbus, wore one
of the most magnificent toilets of the evening,
representing Antnmn leaves, in a very happy
manner. Her coronet was the most beautiful
we ever beheld, being set with clusters of the
richest frnits, representing the garden and the
field.
Decidedly the most gorgeous and brilliant
costume in the ball room was worn by tho cap
tivating Miss Kate Boi’lett, of Macon, represent
ing a Turkish character. She appeared in a
short blue silk dress, with crimson satin oven-
dress, flowing tresses and velvet turban trimmed
elaborately with beads and gilt pearls, making
np a most splendid combination.
There are several other characters whom we
have forgotten. A bright little boy with light
curly hair, in full dress, presented the charac
ter of George Washington in an artless manner,
attracting universal attention. Tho dashing
Warren Howard presented the Devil to perfec
tion, and boro himself gallantly among the mas
queraders. Mr. Hamp. Howard wore a superb
velvet cloak, trimmed elegantly and presented
tho distinguished character of Sir Walter Raleigh.
There were several amusing incidents during
the evening. Old Grand Ma danced with a
young feller, and the Devil got after George
Washington and made him git. Our description
of the ball is done, and if there is anybody mad
we can’t help it. Good byo. Occasional.
Tbe Interview Between Grant and
the Louisiana Delegation.
Tho report to be famished to the country
this evening of the interview of the Louisiani
ans with the President at Long Branoh is not re
liable, but made np to order by a eub-commit-
tes, who retired to a lager beer saloon for that
purpose after haviDg left Grant’s mansion. The
reporters were rigidly excluded from the inter
view, the Louisianians say, by order of thePresi
dent. The latter says that at the request of the
delegation the darkey at the Presidential door
stopped the reporters and peremtorily order
ed them away. The associated press report
er then attempted to run the blockade,
bnt Grant himself put him ont. The in
terview lasted twenty minutes, at the close
of which the reporters were told that a re
port wonld be made up and furnished. £
have just had a conversation with a member of
the delegation, who have just returned to New
York. He says the President was greatly ex
cited, and twico interrupted the reading of the
memorial. When Casey’s outrage was alluded
to be stamped his foot angrily on tho floor, and
again pounded the piano with his hand, showing
all through the reading extreme agitation. The
President did not wait for the ending of the
reading, but interrupted by saying Casey was
not them. Col. Dibble, of the delegation, re
plied that the soldiers were stationed there by
command of Casey. Grant denied it. When
the reading was finished the President said he
wonld show the document to the other side, and
hear what they had to say about it.—Ifeio York
dispatch to Western Press, September Gth.
What One or tbe Fathers or tbe Radical
Party Thinks or It Now.
At the State anti-dramshop convention, held
at Syracuse, New York, O. O. Leigh, of New
York city, was made President, and on taking
the chair made a speech from which we take
the following cheerful extract:
He had been one of the fathers of the Repub
lican party, bat was obliged to confess that the
management of that party, especially in his sec
tion of the State, was left to as great a set of
scaUawag8 and villains as ever cursed any party.
The leaders of the Republican party there were
bought and sold by the Tammany ring same
as beefsteaks or chops in the market. Tho only
hope for the temperance cause, he said, was
separate political action, relying on prudence
for results.
That’s jast exactly what every decent man
thinks, and yet the trewly loyl roll their eyes
and howl “traitor” and rebel at everybody who
puts the thought in words.
The South African Diamond Fields.—The

valued at $20,000. One of ninety-three carats
has also been found, and a Cape Town laborer
has returned with one of fifty-five carats. A
young American, strolling about, stumbled

DECISIONS RENDERED AT THE JULY TETM.
Prom the Atlanta Xeio Era.]
P. W. Doyle and James Martin, Sheriff, vs
the Trustees of the African Methodist Church
and of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South.
In equity.
Warner, J,—This is a bill filed to set aside
the sale of a city lot in Macon, on the ground of
alleged fraud by Martin, the sheriff, and the
purchaser, and also because of unfairness in the
sale, the inadequacy of the price paid for the
property, and that the title to the lot had not
passed to the purchaser. The lot was sold on
the following agreement: “The above case,”
after stating it, “is settled on the following
terms, to-wit: “the lot of land in dispute shall
be sold by the Sheriff of Bibb county on the first
Tuesday in Febrnarynext, after advertising the
same once a week in the Telxgbafh and Mes
senger until the day of sale. The terms of the
sale, cash. After payment of costs and expenses
of sale the balance of the money arising from
the sale to be divided equally between the Metho
dist Episcopal Church (South) and the African
Church.” Signed by tbe counsel of both
parties. Whereupon the following order was
entered npon the minuteBof the court: “No
vember term, 1809. Ordered that the above
settlement be and it is hereby made the judg
ment of the court.” On the trial of the case
evidence was introduced on both sides as to the
fairness or unfairness of the sale, and as to the
conduct of the sheriff and pnrehaser. The court
charged the jury that this was not a judicial sale
under execution, and that the law of the State
covering judicial sales was inapplicable to said
sale, and that in a sale under this order the con
firmation by the court was necessary to make it
valid, and there being ns such confirmation,
yon should set aside the sale, and decree the
deed to be given np to be cancelled. To
wbioh charge tbe defendants excepted. The
jury returned a verdict setting aside the sale,
and ordering a new sale; and further, found
that no fraud was proven between the purchaser
and sheriff, bnt decreed that the deed to Doyle
be rendered np and canoelled. The defendants
moved the court to set aside the verdict, on the
ground that it was against law and evidence.
Whioh motion the court overruled, aud the de
fendants excepted.
Admitting there was no fraud proven be
tween Doyle and tho Sheriff, there is sufficient
evidence in the record, independent of that
fact, in relation to tbe sale of the property, to
sustain the verdict. This was not a judicial
sale by the Sheriff acting in his official capac
ity, even if there had been an order of the
Court, ordering him to sell the property and au
thorizing him to make a title thereto to the
purohaser thereof. In onr judgment there was
an error of the Court ordering the property to
be sold. There was an agreement of the par
ties that the property should bo sold by the
Sheriff and the terms thereof in settlement of
the snit pending between them, and that set
tlement was made the judgment of the Court
and that is all. The parties by agreement could
not confer npon the Sheriff the authority to
sell the property and to convey title thereto to
tho pnrehaser without an order of court to that
effect. The judgment of the court confirming
the settlement is one thing; the order and judg
ment of a court ordering a sale of the property
in pursuance of that settlement, and conveying
a title thereto, is another. A very important
question so far as the question of the purchas
ers is oonc.emed under such sale.
Whenever a conrt, by its judgment, shall or
der a sale of property in pursuance of an agree
ment of parties, then it will be the duty of the
court to see to it that the sale has been made,
and the title to the property executed in accord
ance with its order and judgment, especially if
any objeolion shall bo made thereto by the par
ties interested. In view of tbe facts of the
record, tbe verdict of the jury setting aside the
sale of the city lot was right, and there was no
error in the court refusing to sot. the verdict
aside.
Judgment affirmed.
B. A. Thornton, Receiver, vs. T. F. Gibson.
Question of fact for tho jury.
Warner, J.—This was an action brought by
the plaintiff as receiver of the estate of Ralston
against defendant, to recover some $500 alleged
to be due tbe estate of Ralston for the rent of
a store house in Macon. The defendants
pleaded that at the time the store house was
rented there was a copartnership existing be
tween the plaintiff in his individual capacity
and the defendant, and one Aurelius Gibson, to
do business as merchants in Macon, which
partnership was afterwards dissolved. On tha
trial of the case, after the plaintiff had closed
his evidence, the defendant demurred thereto,
and moved for a non-suit, on the ground that
the plaintiff’s evidence showed the existence of
a partnership as alleged by the defendant at the
time the store honse was rented. The conrt
granted the nonsuit, and the plaintiff excepted.
This was a demurrer to the plaintiff’s evi
dence, and the question for the decision of the
court upon that demurrer was not as to the pre
ponderance of the evidence in favor of the part
nership ; bnt the question for the decision of
the court was, whether there was any evidence
denying the existence of tho partnership at the
time the store-house was rented. If there was
any evidence on whioh the jury could have found
that there was no partnership, then they
should have been allowed to consider and pass
upon that evidence. 15th Ga. R., p. 491. 5th
Ga. R., p. 172.
Thornton states, in his answer, that there was
a proposition made by him that, when the de
fendant and his brother should come to Macon
and commence business, that he would put in
$5000 as a partner to whioh the defendant as
sented. There was no partnership, and there
was to be nono until they came np to Macon
and commenced business. They never came,
and there never was any partnership confirmed.
It was error in the court to sustain the demur
rer to plaintiff’s evidence as disclosed by the re
cord, and granting the non-suit. The question
of partnership or no partnership should have
been submitted to the jury under the evidence
of this case.
Judgment reversed.
Michael Gormloy vs. J. H. Taylor, District
Attorney. Mandamus. District Courts. Va
cancies. Governor’s authority to fill vacancies.
Constitutional law.
McKAijfc J.—When tho constitution creates an
office to be filled by the appointment of the
Governor, by the advioe and consent of the
Senate, but legislation is necessary to carry the
constitutional provision into effeot, and an aot
for this purpose is passed, which by its expressed
terms does not take effect until the day after
the adjournment of the Senate, the office
is vaoant and may bo filled by the appointment
of tho Governor, until filled as provided by the
constitution. It is immaterial whether the office
has become vacant, or is vacant by having never
been filled. In the latter case he may fill it,
nnder section CC of the Codo, which authorizes
him to appoint all officers, and fill all vacancies,
unless otherwise prescribed by tho constitution
and laws.
It is the dnfy of courts, in passing npon the
constitutionality of laws, not to pronounce
against them except in a clear case, and to
make every intendment possible in favor of
their constitutionality.
Art. 3, seo. 1, aud par. 3 of the Constitution
prescribes that “the first meeting of tho Gene
ral Assembly shall be within ninety days after
the adjournment of this convention, after whioh
it shall meet annually on the second Wednesday
in January, or on such other day as the General
Assembly may direct;” and that no session of
the General Assembly, after the second, nnder
this Constitution shall continue longer than forty
days, unless prolonged by a vote of two-thirds
of each branch thereof.” The session of 1870
may, in a very just and proper sense, be the
first or the second session, as provided for, and
specially required by this Constitution, so as to
exclude from the two sessions called and extra
sessions.
The session of tho General Assembly which
met on tho 4th of July, 18G8, more than ninety
days after the adjournment of the convention,
nnder the order of General Meade, through a
legal session, was a called, or extra, or irregular
session, and not one of the sessions contempla
ted by the Constitution.
The session of tho General Assembly of 1870,
it may be affirmed, was not a session after tbe
second session nnder tbe Constitution.
The act of October 27, 1870, to assess a tax
to pay the salary of the District Judges and At
torneys, is sufficiently definite, since from the
census of 1870 the amount due from each county
can be apportioned, and the tax books in tho
Comptroller General’s offioe will point out the
property to be taxed.
Lochbanb, O. J., ooncurred.
Warner, J., dissented.
Native and Foreign Population.—The totals
of the census Bhow how foolish have been the
apprehensions of thoso who have felt alarmed
at the influx of foreigners into the country.—
The census tables place our native population
at 32,989,437; foreign population at 5,660,400.
Thus, the native population is seven to one, and
that majority will increase rather than decrease.

Who is Old?—A wise man will never rust
ont. As long as he can move and breathe he
will be doing for himself, for his neighbor or
for posterity. Almost to the last hour of his
life, Washington was at work,, So were Frank
lin and Young, and Howard, and Newton. The
vigor of their lives never decayed. No rust
marred their spirits. It is a foolish idea to sup
pose wo must lie down and die. because we are
old. Who is old ? Not the man of energy; not
the day laborer in science, art or benevolence;
bnt he only who suffers his energies to waste
away, and the springs of life to beoome motion
less ; on whose hands the hours drag heavily,
and to whom all things wear the garb of gloom.
Is he old ? should not be put; but is he active ?
can he breathe freely, and move with agility?
There are scores of gTey-headed men we should
prefer, in any important enterprise, to those
young gentlemen who fear and tremble at ap
proaching shadows, and turn pale at a lion in
their part, or a harsh word or a frown.
