The Constitution of yesterday says that
Governor Bullock is building a bam, with
two wings one hundred feet long, to cost
$20,000. When it is recollected that the
general impression is that the Governor
never paid a cent of tax until the past
.year, the question arises, “Where does
the money come from?”

Martin Institute.
We call attention to the advertisement
til this flourishing Institution. For
competency, thoroughness of instruction,
and administrative capacity, we are as
sured the teachers of this school rank
with tho best in Georgia. The endow
ment reduces tho price of tuition. The
country is healthy and board is cheap.
Reported Death of Judge J. W. O’Neal
It was reported yesterday that Judge
J. W. O’Neal di£d at Valdosta the day
previous. It is certain that he had been
seriously ill for several days, and was not
expected to recover. The report, as we
received it, seems to he correct, though
k may not he, and wo shall'he glad if it
is a mistake, and that he may be spared
many days of happiness.
We have always opposed him political
ly, but recognized him os a gentleman of
ability, with good intentions.
A BLOODY OBJECT.

Etc., Etc.
• Organization,
Mad Acts of a Drunken Man.
Between 5 and 6 o’clock yesterday even
ing, the citizens along Broad street were
astounded by hearing a quick passing
conveyance, and on going to the doors
found that it was an express, containing a
oouple of policemen and a brawling indi
vidual, who was making the air hideous
with his howls and profanity. • He lay
across the hack of tho express, his head
and arms hanging out, and his face, neck
and breast were covered with blood, He
presented a ghastly sight, and the blood
was flowing freely. He was oonfined in
the calaboose.
He is said to be a discharged soldier.
He was in the neighborhood of Castle-
-berry Hill, mid was cutting and cursing
-around to the annoyance of every one
that came in his way. He was arrested,
and Was so disorderly that an express had
to bo procured to drive him in, and on
the way he acted in the manner describ
ed. He has given no name, bat will do
so this morning, we suppose, when he ap
pears before his Honor.
At the City Hall last night the meeting
for the organization of a Chamber of
Commerce, was called to order by the
chairman. Col. Lowry.
The report of the Committee on Con
stitution and By-Laws was read. The re
port was ably supported by Mr. Cooper
in a few well timed remarks. The report
was read a second time before adoption.
Moved and seconded that the Constitu
tion be adopted. Passed. The By-Laws
were adopted as a whole. A large num
ber of names were signed. The follow
ing officers were then elected: President,
Maj. B. E. Crane; 1st Vice President,
Mr. Garrett; 2d do. J. H. James; 3d do.
0. A. Pitts; 4th do. A. Leydon; 5th do.
J. J. Meador; 6th do. W. A. Moore.
MAJOR B. E. CRANE,
On taking the Chair said: “Gentle
men, I thank yon for the honor you have
conferred upon me by electing me to the
important position you have seen proper
to do to-night, and shall endeavor to dis
charge its duties with fidelity, and dili
gence.
Gentlemen, we can only make the
Chamber of Commerce a success by
united effort, we must be willing to give
our time and attention to it. Business
men of Atlanta, make their influence felt
by organizing. Individual effort can ef
fect little. If every business man will
join his effort and give this organization
we can he heard. There are various
matters of equal importance to ns all,
which will come before us for action, not
the least of which is the subject of
freights, which are well to be unjustly
discriminating against Atlanta. This is
well known and acknowledged by the
Superintendents of the Boads, bnt hith
erto individual effort has been ineffectual
to remedy the evil. This ought not to
be, nor continue so, let us organize and
our influence will be felt, when we are
united our voices will be heard and lis
tened respectfully.
Here the Major read statistics, show
ing the discrimination of freights against
Atlanta, which we were unable to catch
folly. This state of affairs need not ex
ist if the merchants of Atlanta are
alive to their interests, and unite
in the Chamber of Commerce, which it
is our purpose Jto organize to-night.—
When these obstacles to the progress of
Atlanta are removed, she will become, as
of right she ought to be, not only the
second city of Georgia, but will start on
a new career of greatness, in which her
past progress, though wonderful, will be
surpassed, and she will become the first
city on the Atlantic slope.
Amid great applause tho Major re-
suemd his seat.
After transacting some business the
board adjourned.
The Constitution and By-Laws, which
are unavoidably crowded out this issue}
will appear to-morrow, together with oili
er information of interest.
TRADING A MULE FOR WHISKEY.
How it Countryman pat the Beer on a
Commissary Sergeant.
There are many good tales told, even
at this late day, of how the boys would
go about putting themselves outside a
quart or two of whiskey, and we heard
one yesterday that will-bear repeating:
A certain quartermaster’s cub, who
“felt his keeping,” and who was noted
for his pride in his position, and who
also had an impression that his position
was just a little higher than that of a
Major General’s, notwithstanding his po-
sish was several miles in the rear of offi
cers of the line, and which he always
held with dignity and pertinacity, was
.passing through tho good old county of
Campbell, daring Sherman’s “ march to
the sea.” He was in his normal condi
tion—dry, and the accidental meeting of
a countryman suggested to his mind the
fact that it was barely possible to get a
little com whiskey in that county. He
approached the countryman on the sub
ject, and was informed that a few gallons
could be had upon a pinch. Tho Ser
geant proposed to take it, and wanted to
move off directly toward the still, with
tho 4-horse wagon of whieh he had
charge. The countryman inquired if he
had the money to pay for it—not fancy
ing the countenance of the Sergeant-
telling him that his looks were too Yan-
-keeish to put him in communication with
the com juice until the money, or its
equivalent, was in baud. The Sergeant
protested that he had no money, but was
willing to swap one of the Government
mules for it. The trade was consummat
ed, the countryman saddled the mule,
and Fitch (now doing the dirty work for
the Griffin Star) drove off his spike
team, with whisky enough to last him a
couple of days. That’s the sort of fel
low Fitch is!
Man Drowned In West End.
Aleck Bemborde, at Orthey &Bichter’s
Brewery, went into the pond to swim a
pair of horses on Sunday morning. He
swam and washed one successfully, and
then carried in the other, when he be
came entangled with the horse in. some
way. It is supposed the horse hurt him.
The horse got loose and came out, leaving
him in the pond. He straggled awhile
and then sank: Several persons, mostly
women and children, collected, but could
do nothing to save him. Just at that
time Dr. H. B. Hill, who resides on
Walker street, happened to be walking
out for a morning stroll in the woods, and
was attracted by the excitement. Learn
ing the matter, he removed his clothing
and dived into the water where mnd and
bloody water was- seen to rise from the
struggling and injured man. He dived
and hnnted a number of times, bnt fail
ed to find him, and then got a small beat
and dragged for him, bnt still he failed.
He then drew off the pond till it could
be waded in, and waded carefully back
and forth till he foand the body and
brought it out. He and Dr. J. P. Sewell
did all they could to restore him. Some
symptoms of vitality were manifested.—
He vomited the contents of his stomach,
which were bloody, and once made a con
vulsive motion with his jaws and bit Dr.
Hill’s finger, but could not be restored.
OOMMEROIAL
FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
Office of Atlanta Daily Sun, )
Atlanta, August 7, 1871. j
REMARKS.
The week ending to-day, has been one
of good commercial activity, and remark
able, for the very even demand for arti
cles with which a good market is usually
stocked. While the wholesale business
is not as heavy as it was in our last state
ment, yet it has been steady, and not al
together without its excitements. In
our statement of last week we noted a de
cline in flour of 25c. Last Thursday a
still further decline of 25c. took place,
making in one week a decline of 50c.
per bbl. This reduction, has been caused
by the great quantity of flour which is at
present thrown on the Western market.
As the wheat crop for the present year
has been very abundant, it is to be pre
sumed that flour will not advance again
in price during the season, but that, on
the contrary, it is quite likely a further
decline may take place. Com has been
abundant, and the demand quite active,
while prices have declined to 95c. by the
car-load. A month ago it would bring
$1.05—showing a downward tendency.
The increased quantity grown by our
planters, added to the plenteous crop of
the West, will, no donbt, compell fur
ther reductions in price. By this, the
good effects of growing at home the ne
cessaries of life will be seen. Planters
need not bny breadstuffs at exorbitant
prices, and will thus be equal parties to
all transactions, instead of being as here
tofore, like travelers in the hands of
highwaymen, compelled to “disgorge”
or take what they get. The bread ques
tion is one of the most important before
the people, and the remedy is in their
hands. Cotton is weaker and reduced
i@i cent. We have no idea, however,
that any decline will continue, as all these
temporary variations are caused by cot
ton gambling in New York, with a view
to influencing the Southern markets.
Let our people raise their own bread-
stuffs and then they will be enabled to
sell their cotton at their own convenience,
and at satisfactory prices. The city is
still flooded with water melons, and if
there is any decrease in tho supply it is
not visible to us. Every morning, the
Georgia railroad sends in its quota, and
the melons are speedily gobbled up.
The ice market, of course, is cold; but
a reduction of J cent has been caused by
the grit of our new ice company, and it
now sells at l}e- Considerable activity
has been exhibited in monetary matters,
though quotations have been very regu
lar. Beal estate is inactive, and holders
hold off for better prices.
REMARKS FOR DAY.
Business to-day. opened with unusual
briskness, and the clerks on Whitehall
were well occupied. A more than usual
activity was manifested in dry goods.
Country produce has been freely offered.
Meats are in greater demand than for
any day last week; while prices have
been remarkably stiff. The great ad
vantage of Atlanta as a wholesale market
is being gradually recognized by country
dealers, and every day we meet strange
customers in town who express their de
termination to do their trading here for
the future. It is seldom that any one,
who has once done business with our
merchants, goes elsewhere for supplies
which can be obtained here; and as there
are daily men establishing themselves in
new lines of business here, there will
soon be scarcely anything which may
not be found here, of as good quality and
at prices os reasonable as elsewhere.

Tile Late City Engineer.
Capt. John A. Grant, who resigned the
office of City Engineer, at the Connell
meeting last Friday night, is one of the
most efficient and thorough-going survey
ors and Civil Engineers in Georgia.—
While title city will lose his valuable ser
vices, the Georgia Western Railroad, on
which he has been appointed Assistant to
the Chief Engineer, has secured a most
valuable officer, r He is not only practical
and competent in his profession, but is
one of the most industrious and energetic
of men, and possessed of a high order of
administrative ability. Everything he
undertakes will be promptly and well
done.
Something Unusual.
On Monday morning one of our rising
young lawyers was entrusted|with the
management of a case in which the par
ties were “on the code.” Instead of ad
vising his client to a course of law, he
undertook the part of peace-maker, and
succeeded in making them friendly with
each other. Such a course as this is no
ble, and one which but few lawyers would
have followed, mid these few are always
sure to rise in their profession.
-Postage Stamps.
Some idea of the letter-writing pro
clivities of Atlanta may be formed from
the fact that Orion Dozier, on Saturday,
sold $90 worth of stamps.

ECLIPSE SCREW COTTON PRESS!
Patented Feb’y 27, 1871, by Findlay & Craig-
An ANTI-FRICTION SCREW—A MECHANICAL WONDER. This wonderful Mechanical achievement in
point of RAPIDITY and LIGHTNESS of DRAUGHT, STANDS WITHOUT A RIVAL, and is destined at an
early day to supersede ALL OTHER Cotton Screws, bo they fabricated of Wrought or Cast Iron.
u xiTxrrvr .tT.a , . „ , CoLAPABCHEE, Ga., December 21,1870.
R. FINDLAY S SONS, Findlay s Iron Works, Macon, Ga.;
Deab Sms-Late this faU I purchased from you one of your Findlay & Craig Eclipsa Patent Screw Cot
ton Presses, and, after a_fuil and fair trial, do not hesitate to pronounce it the most rapid, of lightest
draught, most powerful—in fact, the best (without an exception) Cotton Press I ever saw. Between this
and aU omer Drou Screw Presses I have ever seen or used,-there is just simply no comparison. Every
pianter should use your Press. JOHN L. GILBERT.
P. 8. You may consider my order in for two more of the above Presses for next season, and may look
for many orderb from this section S my neighbors are determined to have them, as they can pack by hand
twice as fast as any of the other Iron Screw Presses can by horse power. — J. L. G.
Sinoe last feu, and before accepting Patent, we added improvements and labor-saving conveniences—
rendering it PERFECT in every particular. The screw or pin. has a pitch, or faU, of 6* inches ; that is,
