MAYORS OFFICE.

The Mayors Court which forms portion OF the
License Bureau under the direction OF Marshal
TJoKer, although only few months In operation,
become OF the institutions OF the city. That
fact IL demonstrated more and more forcibly each
succeeding day. The Marshal has a peculiarly happy
way Of disposing OF the cases which come before
him. Parties often come filed with indignation and
ready TO swear to almost anything against each
other. The gist Of the matter Is obtained by means
OF q few well-timed questions II often appears that
the contest Is merely the result of some misunder-
standing, or involves only q question which can
readily be settled by the parties themselves when
their wrath is disarmed by some jocular or witty
remarks from the Marshal and they are requested
by him to ego over near the door and talk the mat
Ter over quietly and don't get angry, for the one
who loses his temper will damage his case.r A
great amount of good has thus been done for poor
people in recovering money for them oil which they

THE NATIONAL GAME.

As there is every probability that the weather this
week win be less blustery than the week past the
ball players seem determined to take advantage
Of 1t, and number Of good matches have been ar
ranged. During the past week, however, there have
been several good games played In the vicinity of
the city. On Monday the young 'Tnjuns'' OF the
tribe OF Powhatan attacked the Atantics on the
Capitoline grounds Although they scored but
single, against seventeen for the Atlantics, they
showed that they had pluck and skill. The Atantics
tried first the high, onghed batting, but the 'Pows'
closed on every ball that came out there, which re-
qured the "vets TO change their tactics and try the
sharp, safe grounders. That the Atlantics had met
foemen worthy Of them may be adjudged from the
figures Of runs In each innings given below. The
Powhatans are good felders. and bur for the re-
markably sharp Unfolding OF the Atantics would
have made a heavier show. As 1t was. they have no
feel ashamed The figures alluded are as
folows:-

On Tuesday the young Olympcs gave the Mutuars
tussle and showed that they possessed fine mate
rial, and had pluck enough to do half the battle.
The hints which were given them In the HERALD on
the day after the game they have. no doubt taken
advantage Of, and they intend to try the Muiuas
game tue Olympcs intend to make first class one,
and large attendance Is expected.
On Wednesday the clerks employed in one of the
leading newspaper Ofnces OF this city had game Of
ball with the employees Of the PARK Bank, at Hobo

they could not make q successful Dank on the

New ORLEANS, Aug. %, GIN.
FRIEND BoswoRTH:
The daily transactions in cotton
are restricted to very small amount.
The stock on hand is less than at
any time during the last four years.
The receipts are very light, only 81
bales of new cotton received against
231 last year. The sales since Fri
day have been 166 bales, of which 40
to 80 bales were new cotton. The
old sold at 30, 30503O3c. for strict
good ordinary to low middling; and
strict low middling at 31@31 4c. The
new cotton closing middling to strict
middling sold 32a, 80, 334c. and one
bale very choice at Soc which was
an exceptional rate.
The market at Liverpool and New
York has been dull for the last few
days. To-day the price fell off I'd.
in Liverpool, and &c. in New York.
In Great Britain about 100000
spindles, (one-fourth of the whole
number) are now idle, and good
many in New England have stopped
for short time, or are running only
half time. In Fall River, Mass,
100000 spindles run only three days
in the week.
The manufacturers want chcdp
cotton, so that they can get rich IA
pidly. The idea that the cotton.
grower should thrive also, has not
yet been incorporated into the SPIN
ners religion, either in Old or New
England. Growing cotton i'll India
or the South is only to be done fol
the benefit of manufacturers.
Let planters send enough of theil
cotton to market as early as possibl,
to pay their bills, whatever the price
may be; then feed the market wheI
the prices are at paying rates, ant
take their supplies, after paying bills
, home in gold. AS fast as these &C
. cumulatiOns will permit let five, o

mill, and set a few thousand spindle
