Bad Affliction.
We saw a tolegr&phio dispatch yester
day from Ool. Warren Aiken, of Oartcrs-
ville, to Ool. Prather, of this eity, in
which he says that two of his children
had died that morning with some
thing like diptberia, and a third one was
hopelessly ill This is a severe affliction,
and Ool. Aiken has the sympathy of his
friends in this city iu his distress.
Yesterday, Isaac P. Harris, Trcas
urvr of the State Boad under Foster
Bloilgctt, and B. W. Wrcnn, the
General Passenger and Ticket Agent
under the same administration, and
still holding that position under
Gov. Brown, were arrested. Both
were eharged with larceny after Intel.
They waived an examination, and
each gave bond in the sum of $10,'
000. John Harris, lute Senator from
Newton, (father of the accused) but
uow of tliis city, and President of
the Georgia National Bank, became
the bondsman of Isaac P. Harris, and
K. L. Jones, Esq., Cashier of the
sunie Hank, ligned the bond with Mr,
Wrcnn.
We learn tliut Mr. Harris admits
that he bus money in his hands be
longing to the State, which he is
ready to pay over to uny one projierly
authorized to receive it, uud has been
ready to do so ever since the lease,
whenever he can, by so doing, hav
his bondsmen relieved.
We arc also informed that Mr.
Wrcnn nuikes the same or u similar
statement. We did not hear these
gentlemen make this statement, but
suppose it is true. If it lie
so, there must be some virtue in ar
rests, os we never heard of these state
ments having been mode till after
they were arrested. We dare say
that if they lmd publicly made this
statement, giving the amount of
money justly belonging to the State
in their hands, declaring their read!
ness to pay it to any one authorized
to receive it, uud showing legal obsta
cles in the way of pnying it over to
the State Treasurer, and obtaining at
the sumc time a full discharge from
all responsibility or liability on ac
count of the Bame, that they never
would have been arrested, and public
suspicion would never have fallen
upon them—especially, if they bad
publicly manifested their disapproba
tion of (lie course of 1 luisc who, like
them, hud in their hands money be
longing to the State, which it seems
had to be found out by others.
Some such thoughts us these rise

If a man hod entered tho Mayor's

old—very old; but its vast saloons were
not glowing with marble, nor were they

ELVIRA MERRITT
was a oorl black nigger, and merited a
sound thrashing for tho manner in which
she let her mouth go off. Elvira was dis
orderly and quorelsome,and soared above
the groveling thiugs of earth. She got
so drunk that she imagined the crown of
England was offered her, and said,
Tike) tho costly splendor—take the
wonderful triumphs of art; but give mo
living Nature which speaks to my soul
and heart."
Tho Judge told her that if the straight
talc wasn’t told by this morning’s ses
sion he would make tho work of paying
tto expenses a splendid work of muni-
cfal art, and would speak to her soul in
a manner truly sublime.
Thus were tbo three cases postponed,
and not a cent in the treasury, It was
such a falling off from tho day before
that His Honor wanted to know of Wil
Hams if the crowd had come up from tho
oalabooee yet When informed that it
had, a smile of genuine satisfaction over
spread his countenance, and the Court
waa d’smi^scd.
In tho jail of this oounty is a man
from White county, who was put there
for evading in some way, the revenue
law in regard to distilling. He is a good
hearted, simple fellow, and thinks he has
committed a hanging crime. He is in
the same room with McLaughlin and
several other prisoners, who have worked
upon the simpleton’s credulity to such an
extent that he is fully convinced that the
Ku-Klux will break into jail some niglit,
take him out and hang him for distilling
peaches without license. For two
nights the poor fellow has slept scarcely
any~the hoys keeping him awake by
rapping on the walls, and asking for
him in a disguised voice. Yesterday he
told the Sheriff about it, and the joke
was explained.
Francis Hancock is bis name, and Mc
Laughlin has gotten up an imaginary
address from him to tho jailor of Fulton
county, which is given below :
a poor orpliau boy, from tbo county
of White,
And in youth waa uot taught to box nor
to fight;
But in handling the plough, or the hoc,
I’m quite frisky,
Aud can beat the very devil in making
corn whisky. ••
Last week I’d occasion from borne for to
stray,
When Ifmet some d—d Yankees along
by the way:
They searched in my wagon, and quite
wroth they did wax,
Just because I’d some whisky, and hadn’t
paid special tax.
To Atlanta you must go I’m quite sure
aud sartaiu,
Said a Deputy Marshal, by tho name of
Hank Martin;
It is therefore no use for to w ?ep nor to
wail,
You’ll find comfortuble quarters in Fulton
County Jail.
So dear Jailor I’m with you at last, and
don’t fail
To hunt up some friends who will for me
go bail;
This place is too hot, and the inmates a
sight,
I fear if I stop long they'll kill mo out
right.
Dear sir I’m uot guilty of tho charge
they’ve preferred,
Although I’ve no doubt a different to’e
you have beard.
Could I only iqfloce you tbo door to un
lock,
You should have tho hist dollar from
Fiances Hancock.
The AlexanderCaae.
The case of the State against James
Alexander, charged with murder, was
adjudged by Justice Johnson yesterday
morning. As n magistrate cannot grant
bail in a case of this description, he was
committed to jail. Sulwequentjy the
case was laid before Judge Hopkins, of
the Superior Court, who will hear the
argument of the counsel on Friday.
The usual crowd of negroes were gath
ered about the court house at an early
liour, ;uul as the prisoner did not make
his appearance, they thought some trick
was being played upon their curiosity.
As wo before said, if a crowd of savage,
worthless, irresponsible negroes ura to
intimidate the law-abiding citizens of
this place, the sooner wo abolish all forms
the bettor. Prompt aud determined ac
tion on the part of the officers will go
fur towards quieting the riotous proclivi-
iii* of these negroes.

A Sfamatinn«l Dispatch.
We find the following dispatch iu the
Savannah Alrertiscr, which reached us
yesterday. Wo publish it for what it is
worth :
[Special Dispatch to the Daily Advertiser.]
Washington, August 21.—It is believed
in New York that H. L Kimball has
failed in Georgia, the same as he did in
Connecticut and Nevada. In the former
State he failed for four hundred thou
sand dollars. Holders of his scrip should
look well to their interest, as it is regar
ded in financial circles as utterly worth
leas. Quite a number of Kimball’s South
ern creditors have gone North to hunt
him up.
It is believed that neither Kimball nor
Bullock dare return to Oeorgia. It is
said that Bullock is building a barn on
his McAfee farm, in Cobb county, which
has already cost fifteen thousand dollare
and is not near finished. Its final cost
will far exceed Bullock’s salary for the
entire term for which he was elected
Governor.
The Daily Ickwr.
8inco tbo refreshing showers visited
ns yesterday morning the pooplo have
quieted down tremendously. During the
dusty season everybody wus so full of
dust that dirt slinging was a material
consequence. On tho street, folks were
so dusty and dry that the only way to
keep ont of a fight was to profer drinks
or "dust out.” At the Mayor's Court
things looked pretty well parched up;
and one of the witnesses, who was a man
of decoctions, involuntarily asked the
Mayor and Court when the book was
presented, “Gentlemen, what will you
have?” The Clerk smiled a smole, and
answered “the truth, nothing bnt the
truth, &C.” At the Kimball House there
was a slight coolness at the Chief Mar
shal’s office; but still the dust pervaded
that sanctorum, and everybody bad to
“wet up” occasionally. At the calaboose,
Johnson sweltered and looked dry, and
waited all day for tho arrivul ot|a pris
oner who had a bottle in his pocket—bnt
no appearenoe, and ho stood the dust
till late, when he dropped in at the Na
tional to see Fence—as he thought there
was surely water at the terry. Then
Tweedy’s ice house was searched out, and
notwithstanding he had several tons of
congealed water, tho dust was in every
crevice, but it was finally wiped out with
a few leaves of Rose's best. Iu truth,
there never had been such a dusty time;
and now that the rains have come and
settled the dust, all hands look happy.
As an item of genuine, unadulterated
nows, we hereby announce the falling of
a most refreshing rain yesterday. It
commenced just after tho terrible iijuioon
of dust had censed, and consequently we
do not feel ns grateful for it, perhaps, as
we should. It was just a day too late to
savo a great deal of sore eyes and “cuss.”
It is said by Judgo $ara. Lawrence that
Wadsworth gnvo Fox a knife. What use
tho gentleman had for it, and what object
Wadsworth had in giving it, tho Judge
did not say.
Joseph Fry.
We are indebted to Col. E. Y. Clarke,
of the Constitution, for a copy of the fol
lowing letter addressed to him by
Mr. Fry, in GfcpUu&tion pf tho reports
about his absconding, Ac., which w© lay
before our readers:
LETTER FROM JOSEPH FRY.—HE DECLARES
HIS INTENTION TO MEET ALL CHARGES
AGAINST DIM.
K. Y. Clarke, Esq., Editor Constitution.
I addressed you a letter a few days since
requesting you to furnish it also to the
Sun and Efa, but withdrew tbo same on
arrival, as being here, I thought it
best to make my statement ip this form:
Tho public generally seem to bo under
the impression that I absented myself
from the city somo ten days ago be can* e
of my inability to successfully meet cer
tain charges made by Mr. Blodgett. It
is also surmised that after having been so
suddenly arrested and placed under bond
for appeorapee, I became alarmed lest
further investigations should take place.
In explanation of my absence J can say,
that I left Atlanta with tho intention of
attending to some important business of
my own, in uo wuy connected with tho
transactions that have taken place sinco.
When I was arrested and gave the bond
on tbo 12th or 13th instant, it was at my
own urgent request, so that I might feel
protected during my absence. The
bond was given iu good faith, uud my
conduct in the future shall clearly oou-
viuce tho people of that fact I am ready
now, as I have been in the past, to meet
before the courts any and all charges
made against me in regard to illegal
State Road transactions. In the Hotch
kiss trial several utterly falto statements
wore made, especially whore reference
was made as to what I had said or dope.
To refute such evidence will bo an easy
matter when tho proper timo arrives.
Respectfully, Jos. Fry.

On Monday, tbo 14th instant, Mrs. W,
R. Noble, of Afontgomery, started to
Columbus ou a visit. By sjiuii means,
or other, sbo was put iu poesessiou of the
wrong check or the oliecka on the trunks
wore changed. At any rate when she
got to Columbus tho check she had call-
od for baggage which was not hers,
while her trunk, the oontents of which
were valued at 81,000, was not ou them.
Of course tho Mj was greatly put out
and an immediate quest (of the trunk
was commenced. Up to last Saturday, |
however, tho search was fruitless. But
on that day the husband of tbs lady
came to Atlanta and sought tho assist
ance of Messrs. Murphy and Rssbttry,
detective agents. Sunday night Captain
ltasburyleft tho city in search of the
trunk and on Tuesday evening he re
turned having it in his possession with
its contents intact lia overtook it in
South Carolina, near a plane named
Windsor, aud twelve miles from the near
est railroad. This was pretty quiok
work.
