A full meeting of the Board of Direc
tum of this enterprise has been iu session
in this city for the past two days. The
proceedings have been kept private, but
we learn that the project is now to build
the road directly through from Atlanta
to Savannah direct, and that a commit

York to confirm certain financial propo
sitions made.

This distinguished member of the
Egyptian Monks—the Grand Sachem-
has been nominated by his ten thousand
friends, as a candidate for Justice of the
Peace of the 104Gtli district, and they
are determined to run and elect him. It
would make us happy to see him on the
bench. He is eminently qualified for
the position—being a No. 1 newspaper
mun, u good doctor, capital lawyer, and
in case of emergency, could preach.

The Grand Lodge met in the hall of
Atlanta Lodge yesterday at 12 o’clock.—
The attendance was respectable in num
bers and the action harmonious. A ba
sis of a revised constitotion and ritual
was agreed upon, and a committee cf
seven, which the Grand Chief is empow-
esed to increase to twelve, was appointed
to perfect the whole ; and after the con
firmation of a majority of the committee,
it was agreed to publish the same and
push this glorious work forward with
commendable energy.
The Grand Lodge of the State will be
located here.

About the hottest part of the day yes
terday, u prowling cow got into Don.
Pittman’s pea patch at the City Hall, and
was making sad havoc with the young
and tender vines. But she was soon dis
covered by the ever vigilant Pat, who
went to the gate, nailed it up fast, ana
proceeded to drive the cow oat Pat
chased her round and round the enclosure
till both were ready to drop from sheer
exhaustion, before it ever occurred to
Pat that ho had nailed up the gate.—
Those wicked clerks at the Hall enjoyed
the fun for a long time before a single
one of them called Pat’s atteutiou to the
fact. When the gate was opened the
cow was glad enough to get aw ay.

Iu his communication did not mean to
do Policeman Wooding injustice nor to
defend Thompson’s drunkenness. The
fact is undenied that G. F. Thompson,
a man of delicate frame, was forced into
the chain gang on a burning summer |
day, and that too, while the police held
his check on the St- Nicholas Nationul
Bank of New York for $50 00, with
which to pay his flues. They could have
easily dispatched to New York and found

According to Dr. J. Stoiabock Wilson’s
‘•Atlanta as itls*” there eaneet be 1ms
than 30,000 people ia this ofty. For this
large number of people there are over
fifty place* when- thopeoplo have regular
liueu^e toscdl and popakull, for
tho benefit of tlus 30,000 thirutyjmuls, be
sides about as many more places which
have ilo McSiifie, but who sell no doubt as
much m those wlio pay tar the privilege.
If everybody in Atlanta were to take one
drink a day, and the patronage equally
divided, each saloon, with license, would
sell©! hundred drinks. That amount,
at, say an average of fifteen cents per
drink, would briug iuto the till of each
proprietor $00 a day. This is the result,
supposing each of the 30,000 inhabitant*
only took one drink apiece. But as at
least three-fourths of the population do
not use strong drink, it devolves upon
the remaining one-fourth (7,£>00) to guz
zle enough of the stuff at fifteen cents a
drink to make up for those who do not
patronize saloons, to enable them to live
and flourish. This makes the job pretty
tough on the drinking brigade, and they
have to start early in tho morning to fill
the bill. Of course on public days and
grand occasions more of it ir taken on
than iu commou work dtijs.
To show how wt 11-orgauized aud the
perfect state of discipline to which tho bus
iness has been reduced, we, for au exam
ple, refer to the proceedings of the Court
yeeterdny morning. It must also be
borne in mind that every man who is seen
on the streets iu the least out of Hue, he
is at obn taken. For two reasons.—

MAN CA881N. SPEAK.
According to previous announcement,
a considerable crowed assembled in front
of the Kimball House last night, to listen
to the speeches of various gentlemen in
behalf of the Georgia Western Road.—
The assemblage was composed mostly
of the solid thinking men of Atlanta,
who came there, not for mere idle curi
osity, but from a sense of duty, and the
deep interest felt in the inauguration of
the greatest enterprise Atlanta has ever
set on foot
Judge Ezzard took the stand, and in a
few explanatory remarks as to the object
of the meeting, announced
COL. G. W. ADAIR.
Amidst considerable applause, this
gentleman mounted the stand and said :
Gentlemen: This is rather a small af
fair in the way of a platform, hut I am
inclined to call it the first platform on
the first depot of the great Georgia Wes
tern Railroad that we propose to build.
We will call it that for the time being at
any rate.
1 am accustomed to appear before au
diences iu Atlanta very frequently; but
almost always when I am stimulated by
five per cent, behind, in my public ca
pacity. But to-night I am actuated by a
higher motive—something that rises
above tin five per cent., and anything

prosperous, it ia the result of things over
whion we have had uo special control.—
But now like the rioh hoy when the old
man dies, and other heirs come in and
turn him out, or the old mau dies in

and do something tor himself or beg,

for the purpose of making uu eloquent

pose that I oould do so, were 1 to make

difficulties that surrouud us, aud to point
out the remedy if I oan. That is my ob

THE GEORGIA WESTERN.
Out of the immense 'topount expected
to lx* realised from the Mayor’s Court,
ouly fifteen dollars is all that was paid
yesterday. President, C. Wallace,
called a meeting of the Directors, at
James’ Bank. All the available cash
was counted up. When it was announced
that only fifteen dollars was the contribu
tion from the Mayor’s Court on that day,
it created the profoundest -silence* En
quiring eyes turped to James; from him
to his capacious looking bank vault.

What was to bo done ? Cassin moved
to adjourn, frank fice, who had sub-
scribed 3,000 shares, voted in the nega

matter. After a kind of silent love feast
for severnl mi fin ten, it was resolved that
too lunch had beeh counted upon from
the Muyor’s Oodrl for I he benefit of the
Georgia Western, aud resolutions to that
eflbct wen* spread upon tho minutes.
This does not, however, effect the 3,000
.shares subscribed l>y the Council, which
still controls this matter. We hope the
road will be built, but—but—the cash

reached out in that direction, and soon
after that, they inaugurated the great
Erie Railroad. Then Philadelphia start
ed the idea of the great Pennsylvania
Central, and these roads have gone out
into the West. They have liter eased the
value of the land; they have prepared
homes for the teeming millions
that have sought our shores
for cheap soil and republican
institutions. They have gone into that
country from the fact that they had a
way to get there, and a cheap mode of
getting their products to market from
the land where they settled. When
events took this course, the whole great
West was peopled by an iudustrious, ac
tive, energetic people. Theae people
came from the Old World, and moved
out iu that direction, and then the active,
energetic men of New England went out
in this western country, and they cleared
np the laud and settled and cultivated it.
After thut they conceived the idea of
manufacturing, and they commenced
manufacturing there. About the time
this western country was thus opened
and developed, some energetic gentle
men in this country, and, by the way.
Judge Ezzard was one of the Commis
sioners appointed to investigate and
report upon the matter—conceived
the idea of opening up a di
rect line of communication between this
wealthy ond populous part of the Uuited
States and the great West.

able, and why it is that men lay oat their
money here in property. I have heard
that question asked a thousand times,
and I have heard it answered a thousand
different ways I suppose, but the great
secret of the prosperity of Atlanta and of
its people, arises from the fact tlmt a large
portion of the goods that are used in this
section of the country, and around in
Middle Georgia, and Bouthwesb rn Geor
gia, and in Western Alub.mu, nnd in
Western South Caroliua, are manufac
tured in an entirely different section of
the country from whut they were former
ly. Heretofore they have been manu
factured in New Eugfand, and now they
are manufactured iu the Wist—such
goods as leather, ironware, furniture,
wood ware, etc., and all those great nec
essaries, such as bacon, liay, etc. All
these things we bring dowu in great
quantities over the State Road, and they
ail become articles of merchandise.—
They come down over that Road to At
lanta; and she has heretofore been a dis
tributing point for all these niutuitortur
ed goods. A large proportion of umiiu-
factored goods, liesides these great pro
ducts that are necessary for the suste
nance of the cotton belt, have Imen dis
tributed from this point. Therefore,
instead of being a mushroom place,
we are tho distributing point for
vast section of
ing the Mississippi
just below the month of the Arku

this road, to these cheap c ml uud iron
beds, completed without d* lay, and when
that is done, we can manufacture most of
the articlos that we have heretofore been
in the habit of purchasing from the
North, right here at home. There i« no
rcasop why Atlanta should not be uiuhii-
ufacturing city, and if this straight, di
rect line is built to the coal beds of Shel
by and St Clair counties, Alabama, nIh*
certainly will be. We have already a
candy factory and a cracker factory, and
a soap factory here, nnd with thin road
completed, we oould manufacture all
kinds of iron-ware, hard-ware, wood-
ware, etc.
Now, gentlemen, I have pointed out
to you the benefits thut will be derived
from the Construction of this road, and
not it only remains for theTgcitizens of
Atlanta and the people along the lino of
the road to come up fair aud square to
their duty. I can pick out in five min

each. In asking you to take stock in
tbia rood, gentlemen, I do not wihh to
misrepresent the TmcIh in the case or to
