Of all tho festive occasions we have at tended, wo know of none that has created more delight ami enthusiasm than the entertainment given last night by tho City Light Guards In their Armory. On this occasion wore present the beauty and elite of the city, accompanied by tho La- Grange Light Guards and the Columbus Guards. Notwithstanding the mud and slosh, the Armory of the (Tty Light Guards was the scene of one of tho most brilliant and delightful entertainments that has graced the city in our recollection. Tho beautiful young ladies, who have made our city renowned for its lovely and beautiful women, graced the occasion by their presence. The handsome uni forms of the guests and the company, mingled with the silks arid satins of the fair ones, made a picture that beggars description of any one, save a “man milliner.” The dancing was kept up until a late hour, and many were the tender words, as tho gay LaGrangers parted with the sweet maidens many were the promises to come again. The members of the LaG range company present on this occasion are gentlemen, and by their deportment with us have won the esteem of all who came in contact with them. The lateness of the hour prevents us from giving half the notice this pleasant gathering calls for. Go to Worthy & Roper’s to get your cheap Groceries. They are not like the man without wife, for each one has a a family; but neither patronize theatres nor circuses, jan9 It (Courtesy. Upon the lips of every memlicr of the LaGrangc Light Guards is tin* generous hospitality extended them by the City Light Guards. They all promise to re turn, and assure us that if kindness and great attention is an Inducement, they will visit us on any occasion their pres ence is desired. They will all come to our tournament, and will drill for the erection of a monument. Nliad anil llrcNHed Poultry.

'Hie contested election is the latest, and is the topic of the day. The general comment was on the hand some appearance and gentlemanly de portment of the LaG range Light Guards, who are on a visit to the City Light Guards of this city. An old negro woman died in the lower part of the city yesterday aged ninety seven years. She used to nurse George's oldest child. A dog light on Few stn*et yesterday was all th<'go, though but few were present-, and to-morrow there will be fewer. A boat arrived last night with plenty of good oysters. The man with a pair of spotted mules is ! in town, and we advise the negroes to be ware of his ‘'message from the Lord.” He lmngs about the outskirts of the city, and catches the ignorant. Who will take him up for vagrancy. The uniforms of the Columbus Guards will bo here soon, when report says, they will give an entertainment. The sun was shining yesterday, much to the enjoyment of everybody. He received the congratulations of all of us. Prospcvt of clear weather. A novel sight was the appearance on Broad Street of a book agent. Who ever saw one before? Very few from this plaee \ isitixl the Rex ball in Atlanta, though many wanton! to see the sight. The Front street curiosity Is the baby with three legs. Organ grinds out music, while you pay your ten cents and set- the sight. Turkeys are beginning to roost low since Christmas is over. They forget Courtis not in session to intimidate colored thieves. Turnips and cabbages are plentiful in j market. Sweet potatoes find ready sale atone dol- i lar per bushel. We would like to receive the name of ev ery man in live counties as subscribers of j the Times. The LaGrangc gentlemen declare they i have been elegantly entertained by the City Light Guards. The standing voters of the count ry have retired until the next election. They are in favor of a contest, if then* is a chance for another election. J. MARION ESTES has the best Hand- Sewod Boots and Gaiters. janH t f Dr. Mary Walker and a Western man went into a cabinet at a public sceanee in Washington with the me- 1 dium. After a while she came out and said her dead sister had kissed : her. The Western man said he i could swear lie had not and would j not. if he could. The audienc yelled j “not guilty,” without leaving the box. and many other pleasant com ments on Dr. Mary Walker’s impru dence. —.... • -♦• • Tills is tho kind of whiskey they have in California: “After that, the cloth was taken j off, and tlve liquors war bro't in. j And wot liquors they wuz, too! The ! whiskey wus none o’ this yer kind that makes it man fool like savin’: “I kin lick any son of a gun ih the J house," and' makes him smash j things ginerally. No, sir. It war the kind, that jist makes a man lift j his glass gintlv, and savs: “Joe, old parti, I’m lookin’ at ver,” Med ion I'OlltPNt. In every congregation of three or more wo happened yesterday, the topic of conversation concerned tho contest of tho election. Wo are unable to locate tho candidate who first gave notice of the contest, and an earnest desire to do all men justice, prevents our giving names. We may safely say, however, that the contest started from among the candidates for Tax Collector. They have given notice to Gov. Smith not to Issue the commis sion to Mr. Andrews tiie candidate elect. No one knows what will be ths result, butwc apprehend that the matter will be dropped, as it may be difficult to find who is tho contes tant. Tho grounds of contest alleg ed are that there wore deposited in the ballot box five hundred and fif ty seven illegal votes—some did not puy their taxes, and others who vo ted more than once. No good will result from the contest, as the bal lots of two boxes, with the same numbers, have been mixed. The Governor cannot order anew elec tion, and no committee in the world could ever determine who voted a ticket when there are two tickets in tho box, with the same number. In elections there are more or less irreg ularities, and these irregularities ad vances the interest of one as much as the other. Every candidate t.rys to get the vote of every man, and never asks the question whether he has puid his taxes, or lives in the State. While we do not know of any cause of contest, yet if the purity of the ballot box has been tainted, we would be among the first to uphold the man who could expose the frauds, and suggest a remedy fur it in the future.

It is said that over twenty thou sand dollars have already been ex pended in the search of Charlie Ross. 5 Between live and six hundred chil dren have been reported to the po | lice as posJfbly the missing boy, and not less than fifty thousand persons j have actively interested themselves 'in the affair. The gypsies have been thoroughly overhauled, although | few things are more certain than that class of persons had nothing to do with the abduction. And now the discovery, even after the supposed clue given by Mosher and Douglass, seems no nearer than ever. One tiling, however, has boon accomplish ed at the cost of much suffering to tlie parents of little Charlie Ross, and that is, the persistent pursuit is likely to stop other kidnapping in future. The Mayor of New Orleans Itas frankly informed the public that the city cannot pay interest on its bonded debt. How is It possible for New Or leans to pay even the current ex penses when the State is tossed to and fro like a ship in a storm with a crew and officers of pirates? The city cannot meet its obligations. The ab solute confiscation of the real estate would not meet the demands, and hence the failure is inevitable. The bohdholdors will do well to get half, with a reduced rate of interest. . .. • Considerate. A debtor who owed eight hundred dollars offered his creditor eight promissory notes of a hundred dollars each, payable on the first day of eight consecutive months, which were accepted. The first note was protested on its becoming due ; and on the creditor's asking the debt or for an explanation, the latter said : The fact is, my friend, I can’t pay you any thing, and I divided the debt into small portions to save you the shook of losing it all at once/’ A man laid better have a millstone tied to his neck and be east into the sea, than to promise to marry a Tex as girl and then refuse.
