The oldest railroad man in the Mr. Editor: Saturday morning as I was walking down the (beets in search ot something that would sdd to the com fort of the inner man, I met a gentleman who wss bound for the picnic at Helicon springs, and after being solicited for s short while, I accepted a seat with liiin, end after a very pleasant ride of four miles, wo landsd in a most beautiful theirriestimouial. l-fiswlcdgmenta he might utter would be dip product of surprise and gratification, lie might, however, hsvesnticipsfaid this occasion for it wss but in keeping with grove of forest oaks, under the shadows of which won gathered the chivalry and beauty of Sandy creek; and from tht moment I reached this lovely grov ], adja cent to the once famous Helicon springs, ■ntil I loft, I had one continued season of pleasure and enjoyment The morning was devoted to dancing, and to say the young people enjoyed it, is but to mildly express the truth. The ladles all were graceful, and tho men emphatic. Atone o'clock the dancing ceased, and we were invited to partake of an elegant dinner, prepared by tho fair ladita of tl.e community and spread in picnio style. Uinnar being over, the logialativi aspirants being present and ready to pruvt to tbe dear people their reapee. ive fitness for the coveted seat it the legislature, the next thing in ordor war perches. By arrangement, Messrs. Kusscit and Murrell addressed the crowd on tho “issues of the campaign ” Mr. Bussell opened tho discussion in speech ot twenty minutes, M r. Murrei! followed In s thirty minutes' argument, and Mr. B. closed in ten minutes. The “issues” liscussed, as far as the writer could gather, were that both speakers were very anxious to he elected. There seemed to lie no material diff rences be tween the candidates. Mr. R. alluded, as he said, with pride to hia past ser vices, ami said lie had never done any- thing but for the good of his people, and never failed to appear in their kehslf whenever it was neccsary. Ha said he had gotten more money for Clarke conn, ty than any man who had ever repro. aented her in tho legislature, and said ha stood for re-oloction on hia record' which the crowd voted a good one M r. Murrell instated that Mr. B. had been rewarded beyond hia merits, and that it was time to bring in another horse; that ho was batter fitted and capacitated to represent the farming interest, for the reason that for never teeu years he had known nothing else. He made a Tory good showing, and was frequently ap plandad. Ha said tho farmers ware 76 per cant, of tho voters, and they were entitled to representation fit the legists - tart, As Mr. Bussotl closed the “legislative ijiacuaaion,” the Hon. H. H. Carlton was vociferously called for, and atappril. forward amidst tremen dous applauas and was greeted by the sweet smiles and cheering looks . of the ladles present. He aaid that as ha had no opposition that be would not make a political spaepb, so ha aaid bat BUle about politics, but for about om hour ha made a very pleasing and inter esting, as well as a very edifying speech, He apokc of Georgia and her resources, of her brave men end pretty women, and in liis graceful way and inimitable style, gave a history of tho discovery of. tho famous Helicon spring, which he de clared to be a fountain of healing waters- The Doctor’s speech wu frequently and heartily cheered. • This eloeed the speaking aad the young folks called for music and in a lit tle while they ware heaping time with the fiddle and tsmborlne. Judge W. H Yerby was master of ceremonies, which accounts for the ■arked sscceee of the day. Hr. Yerby id a wbaliaialod gec- tlemcn end never wearies in trying to make others happy.

I'erbapa, when other constituencies had become rebellious, and other commucities were weary, it would servo as a guide to return and, resting hims»lf, give the public also a rest CITY SCHOOL ITEMS. The examinations this week, we un derstand f >m tho superintendent, are of course to bo rapidly made, and arc meant to determine only approximately in what grades, or classes, pupils belong. Pupils will he further and more scorchingly examined upon their en trance into the schools, Sept 1st—these examinations to begin at once upon the opening of tho schools. Hence pupils holding entranco cards will need to re port promptly on tho opening day to their respective schools. The space is limited, ami first, comers will be first served to desks. No list* of hooks and materials will bo issued to pupils until after these final entrance examinations. Pupils will be by this time most nearly where they are best prepared to be, under the system adopted by the board.' The schools are graded schools—are so of necessity, and hence tlioy are organ- Ixe-' by grades, and not by localities. It is determined, however, to divide the lower grades if these prove sufllsiontly large, and to put one section im a down town building and the other in an up town building. This can be done only after the schools have been opened. It is not supposed that everybody can be satisfied with these preliminary ex aminations and assignments to grades and schools. If under the pressure of circumstances any matters are overlook ed by tho auporintaiident touching the disposal of pupils, send pupils in for an other examination without delay. LOCAL OBSERVATION* .

K. Cutting, and, alter reviewing tbe entire evlrii argument was begun. Tbit did not last long. The at torneys pro and con had previously come to an agreement that the ‘'im prisonment already suffered by Cut ting b* comicered complete purge tion of his crime.” This makes it cettain beyond doubt that the acntenco which fal low* shortly will conform totbii agreed e t among tbe attorneys. Thucase was heard with closed doak*. The court holds that Judge Calender and Judge Zuhia were exactly right in trying and sentenc ing Cutting, but under the circum- staurra, think* he has now, by two months’ confinement, suffered enough, and they will order hia re lease, to take effect probably by Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. The (6io fine is also to be remit ted. Tbe court -expressly reaffirms a'l that has been aaid in lavor of the right or Mexico to try an offense committed in the United States. Tncrefore, the status ol tbe case as an international question, is not and will not in the least be settled by the reha-e ol Cutting. It will come up again direitly on a question of indemnity.
