To the PbMIc—A Card from
M. C, Ulan chord.
During my Into absence from tho city,
the following advertisement appeared in
the doily Hen, Aeir b'nt and Constitution
of July 12, 187L
"Canoelment of authority. The Pacific
Insurance Company of Ban Francisoo
having removed M. C. Blandlord of
Atlanta, from the position — agent to
make insurance against fire, and having
demnmled return of the urittenpowr usually
given Agents, which ilnnaud has been
refused, hereby gives notice, Ac.”
The facts iu this case, are simply os
follows: The Pacific Insurance Compa
ny decided, without having given me
any previous notice of thoir intention
to remove their agency from my hands
to Mr. L. B. Davis, assigning at the same
time tho following reasons: that as Mr.
Davis hail been removed from tho agen
cy of the London, Liverpool and Globe
Insurance Company, they bad reasons to
expect, by placing tho company in his
hands, to ohteiu the business which Ur.
Davis hail heretofore given to said Lon
don, Liverpool and Globe Insurance
Company. At their requost I delivered
to them ult their books and papers tlicu
in my possession. I refused to give
up my commissiou for tho following
reason, which I stated to them, at the
time:
bupposc u loss should occur under a
Policy of Insurance iu thut Company,
with my name to said Policy as Agent;
and tho Company should boo proper to
deny any authority to issue said policy of
Insurance, I preferred to retain my com
mission in my own possession, that I
might establish my authority by tlic same,
instead of having to noly upou tho honor
of tho-Company. Having delivered to
the Company all their books and papers,
as beforo stated, aud which the Company
well knew, anil which rendered me utter
ly powerless to do the Company any inju
ry, wliat, I ask, coidd be tho motive
which prompted the above quoted adver
tisement ? The only one, which I can
conceive of, was a malicious attempt at
liersomil injury. M. C. Blanchord.

For the Bonnl of Health.
The attention of thut body is earnestly
called to an offensive stench which arises
from the oorner of Hunter and Pryor
streets. This is tho place where the
myriuds of martins which are scon every
evening, go to roost, and tho noise and
other nuisances created by them is very
objeotionablo to the entire neighborhood.
If this thing is passed by unnoticed any
longer, it may create a disease which may
be difficult to eradicate.
THE STATE ROAD INVESTIGATION.
Auditor IUtv likisi Is Boand Ovtr to Ap
pear Before, the Superior C ourt.
All day yesterday was consumed in the
argument beforo Judge Butt, of the caso
of the State against N. P. Hotchkiss,
former Auditor of the State Hoad, and
charged with cheating and defrauding
the Htate out of a considerable amount
of money.
The evidence entire was given in our
yesterday’s issue, and as we say, the Court
was occupied in hearing the argtmants.
Capt. E. P. Howell and CoL Bleckley
made very side und telling speeches in
behalf of the prostration, while Gen.
Gartrell and Burton Thrasher were elo
quent in the defence.
The diseuaHion develoi>ed no new points.
It is evident that the biggest kind of
thieving has been going on, and tliat
these preliminary trials are merely break
ing the ice os it were for a future dive.
The more the mUtter is stirred, the
louder it smells, and we dare say that
before this investigation is over with,
men will lie implicated in this far-famed
State robbery who were never suspected.
It has certainly thus far developed he
most flagrant and downright robbery ever
perpetrated upon an honest folk.
Men, whom everybody was willing to
believe were honest, and who were far
from even meddling with such a thing os
robbery bus exposed, are proven to be
rascals of the first water.
This is emphatically an instance where
thieves have fallen out, and,we are satis-
fled if honest folks don’t come by their
dues in the matter tliat they will see how
a great many men, who have heretofore
passed as honest and respectable, have
been guilty of the worst kind of thieving.
The further the investigation proceeds
tho deeper we can see into the villainy o#
this State Hood business; and we predict
that when these old thieves and cheats
are forced into duylight that they will
bring to tlic surface with them a host of
minor culprits whom the world knows
nothing of at present, but whose appear
ance will cause just indignation among
the more honest and rcspectablo jjortion
of tlic people whom they have thus fla
grantly and systematically robbed.
Auditor Hotchkiss was first allowed
bail in the sum of 86,000, but as this
seemed to }>c too large it was reduced to
$2,000, with the verbal understanding
that he would be immediately arrested
upon another and similar charge.
The latter arrest was mode, and the
Auditor, waiving all examination, was
bound over in a similar sum to appear at
tho Superior Court at its October Term.
KILLING A NEGRO.
The Coroner’* Inquest, and the verdict of
the Jury.
Allay or two since, iu Augusta, t
young lady, with two young gentlemen,
walking down tho street. The young
lady was carrying in her hand a piece of
a parasol liaudlo, or some tiling similar,
aad in a coquettish manner was striking
first ono of the beaux aud then tho other.
Btnoge enough ono of tho young gentle
men had a loose pistol cartridge in his
root pocket, aud in striking him the
switch came in contort with the cartridge,
which exploded, aud the bull struck her
just above the knee joint, inflicting a se
rious wound. 7 ho doctors think the leg
ay here to oome off.

On day before yesterday, a negro nam
ed Hampton Whitehead, a convict from
tho Distriot Court, was working in the

ordered to perform some particular pieee

in which the negro was killed.

favors the recognition, by law, of suicide
as a felony. It would punish the atempt,
since it could not be an acomplishment
of the act. The paper says : “The pub
lic welfare is, in many ways, endangered
by allowing the people to kill themselves
at pleasure—suicide often assumes an
epidemio type, unless checked, as is well
known, and hence there should beapun-

Dow’s Idea of Heaven.
A Washington correspondent of the
New York Tribune furnishes an anecdote
of Lorenzo Dow, which is new and good.
Ho says:
My wanderings led me one day to an
old grass-grown buryiug-ground just be
yond tho boundary-line of tlic eity, near
its northwest corner; and hero I found
the grave of one whose saying used to he
household words among those of like
faith with himself, but of whose burial-
place scarce ■‘any man knoweth unto this
day”—the grave of Lorenzo Dow. Here,
in this retired, neglected spot, tliat
stormy, unquiet spirit found its reet
One of the best anecdotes of Lorenzo
Dow has, I believe, never been in prink
It was related to mo by a gentleman
whose father was a witness of toe scene.
In s small town in Western New York
lived a noted infidel, CoL Book There

a point to engage every new comer in iui
argument, from which he almost invari

the Bible, which the Methodists, unable
to read in the original, ooaid ueithcr re

earing of the arrival of another Meth

friond, Mr. Bash, thut they should “go
down to the tavern and tleinohah this

mishing the Colonel dashed into the sub

ol the weakest ixiints of the Christian
faith, on account of the different views
expressed regarding ik “You believe in

tones, Lorenzo Dow replied: “Heaven

A remarkable story comes, or pnrport,
to come, from Paris, through the corn-s-
pondenoe of the Bt. Louis Republican.
It is of a count who, while living, dwelt
in a mansion in the Qnartier Ht. Germain,
bat who was killed daring the bombard
ment On visiting his residence a gem
darmo stepped into a closet on the upper
floor, and at once found himsolf rapidly
descending aad finally safely landed m
a dungeon on the grouud floor. The
wiuilows of this room wero built up with
brick, aud the door leading iuto an alley
from the outside into a suite of rooms,
while the real entrance from the alley wan
through a swinging door cut in the solid
masonry, and skilfnlly ooneealed from
view. This room had ostensibly been
used by the Count os a place for storing
old furnitura, but on sounding its walls
a large and deep closet waa found iu
whien were tools, implements, and appa
ratus of various sorts, including surgical
instrument*, jars of chloroform, narcotics,
and so on; also a powerful battery. Here
wai found a manuscript which purported
to be the Count's record of experiments
in ga'vonism and electricity, made liy
himself daring several years. It is well
known that for the past four years it has
been his habit to deliver lectures on such
subjects before learned gooieties, one of
which, entitled “The Mechanism of
Life,” procured for him ■ confidential in
terview with the Emperor. The manu
script shows that it was the system of the
Conut to invite people to liis house on
one pretext or another, and then kill anil
experiment with them, most of his ex
periments being mode with a view to re
storing suspended animation.
California’s latest ourioaity is a rooster
with two sets of legs, one on liis hack. -
When he is weary of standing on his nat
ural position, it is gravely asserted, lie
turns a somersault and walks off upside
down, and when he takes a drink he im
mediately turns over so os to swallow it
the more easily. But it is in a free
fight that heshows to greatest advantage.
For he is a terrible fighter, and, when
thus diverting himself, looks like s re
volving wheel, turning somersaults in
cessantly, and kicking in every direction.
Another name is to he added to the list
of royal and noble authors. This is tho
Marquis of Lothian, lately deceased, of
whom tho London Times says: “liis
work on ‘Italian History aud Art in the
Middle Ages,’ written almost without any
books of reference, in the year 1SC3, w hen
his disease was fast creeping over every
limb, bears witness to the great stores of
his memory and to his power of philo
sophical analysis. Buck as ho was, it is a
small thing to say of him that he carried
off the highest honors of the University.
Ho died in his thirty-ninth year."
