THE ATLANTA WEEKLY SUN.
The Arrest of McCalla.
On Saturday morning, Maj. C. P. Mc-
Calla was arrested and tlio investigation
liis case commenced, which will be
continued to-morrow.
This arrest was surprising to many,
and the testimony, as published, has
caused some persons to conclude that he,
too, has been guilty of “appropriating”
that which was not his nwn, while others
look upon it as an effort to injure his
character and to break down his testi
mony against those who have already
been arrested under charges of cheating,
swindling, defrauding, &c.—all, except A.
L. Harris, we believe—at the instance of
McCalla and nfon his affidavit.
We have several times spoken of Maj.
McC., and have expressed the opinion
that he had not participated in the rob
beries and frauds charged against other
State Rood officials, and that he was en
titled to the credit of having proceeded
against delinquents through honest and
patriotic motives. We shall not change
this opinion, unless the evidence to jus
tify it is produced. If it is produced, we
shall promptly change. We suggest a
suspension of opinions till the examina
tion is closed, for these reasons:
1. He has taken very serious steps—
swearing out warrants against, and caus
ing the arrest of men upon such serious
charges, if he, too, is guilty of any frauds,
embezzlement or other wrong doing. It
looks quite unreasonable to suppose he
would have thrown such heavy stones,
if he had been living in a glass house.
A conscious villian don’t often do such
things.
2. The allegation that he has received
money from -.various parties owing the
State Hoad, which amounts stand on the
books to the debit of those parties, and
that he has neither credited such
parties on the books with the money
thus paid, nor charged himself on the
books with the money thus received, nor
made any entry on the books of what
disposition, -if any, he has made of the
same, we do not look upon as conclusive
evidence of wrong doing, or wrong in
tention, or even as any neglect of duly f
and as germain to this subject, we make
the following inquiries :
Was it the duty of the General Book
keeper of the road to make entries of
money received on the Books of the
Treasurer; or was it not improper, under
any circumstances, for him to make such
an entry? Was it not the Treasurer’s
duty to keep his own Books, and the
duty of the General Bookkeeper not to
make any entries in those Books? Was
there any Book in the General Book
keeper’s office in which original entries of
cash received were to be made? If there
was no such book, and such original en
tries were not a part of McColla’s duties,
what else could he do but keep memo
randums of what he did?
We do not know that this is the expla
nation, or what testimony will be offered
on this point, for we have not seen or
conferred with any one since the arrest,
who could give any idea of what testimo
ny would be offered by the defense; but
these suggestions readily occur to the
mind of an experienced Bookkeeper.—
We propound them for what they are
worth.
Bat whether he should or should not
have mode entries in the books matters
but" little. If he shows that he has
made a lawful disposition of the money
he has received, that will suffice. If he
cannot; if he is guilty of any fraud, em
bezzlement, or misappropriation of pub
lic money, let him suffer the punishment
of the law.
3. Further: We do not hear of any
charge being made against him, of par
ticipating in any of the big stealings
going on while the Road was in Blod
gett’s hands, or of trying to- have any
fraudulent claims passed up by the Au
diting Board since that time. The
charges seem to be confined altogether
to money ^received by him since the
lease, for money due the Boad on or be
fore that time, and which was all then on
the books, open to the inspection" of the
world. It seems to us that such funds
did not offer as favorable a- chance for
stealing or embezzlement, with the
hope of concealing it and escaping de
tection, as that of having fraudulent
claims audited and money paid out on
such vouchers. If McCalla has detected,
exposed, and prosecuted the latter, surely
he has better sense than to undertake to
use,misuse or embezzle public funds where
the sources from which the money was
thus derived were so prominent—so con
spicuous—so easy to detect. It is al
leged that he has not made a single en
try on the books—not a scratch sinoe the
lease; which he might have done in an
attempt to cover up fraud, had he com
mitted it. Such thoughts occur to us.
But we shall see what we shall see. If
he is guilty, we again say, punish him.—
If not, he will be vindicated. Meantime
we wait. _
ARREST OF C. P. KcCALLA.
Two Ckargft Proferrcd—Preliminary
Trial Be fa re Justice Butt.
March, 1871, receive from the Cleve
land, Columbus, Cincinnati and Indian
apolis Railway Company $243.50, which
said sum was due the Western & Atlantic
Railroad, and that he did not give the
said C. C. C. & I. Railway Company
credit for the same on the books of the
said Western & Atlantic Railroad, or
charge himself therewith.
The second charge is that he did make
out and deliver to the commissioners
appointed by the Executive to close up
the books of the Western & Atlantic
Railroad, an exhibit sheet of his books
to be embraced in their report in which
he did falsify his book.
The parties appeared before Justice
Butt, and after subpeening witnesses, the
Court adjourned over till 2 o’clock, to
meet at the City HalL
Major Hargrove, counsel for defendant,
insisted that the charges should be
explicit, so as to show from what parties
money alleged to have been embezzled
bad been collected, and which the priso
ner had accounted for.
Attorney General Farrow, also for the
prosecution, objected, and insisted that
the warrant was in due form, and alleged
all the prosecution intended to prove. -'
Mr. John A. Stephens, for the prose
cution, said that two distinct charges were
made in the warrant, and that a third
charge, containing a general allegation
of misappropriation of funds could be
objected to by defense when the charge
is brought up, and not before.
The Court decided that the testimony
on the two specified charges should pro
ceed, and when a third general charge is
reached the defense can object.
Mr. B. F. Moore was sworn for the
prosecution. Mr. Moore is one of the
clerks employed by the committee of in
vestigation to cast up the books of the
road. A ledger was introduced to show
that a large number of balances are stand
ing open, that no credits had been made
for months and that there is no book con
nected with .the Western and Atlantic
Railroad, and under charge of the pris
oner, showing what sums of money he
has received or disbursed.
Major Hargrove held that the book
was inadmissable, provided that it does
not prove that the alleged embezzlement
of funds belonging to the State, and re
reived from the C. C. C. & I. Railroad.
He objected to its admission, if simply
to prove general charges of embezzle
ment. y- d h ' * il
THE DEFENSE ADMITS
that the collection of $243.50 was made,
but that as the prosecution has levied on
the books of the General Bookkeeper’s
office, the defense wants all the books of
the road brought into court, in order to
show that the amount has been
DULY CREDITED.
Also to,. disprove the charge concerning
the embezzlement by the prisoner of four
dollars from the C., H. and D. Railroad.
The court ordered the admission of
the book to prove the alleged specifica
tions.
The specified charges were allowed to
be entered in the original warrant, and
the warrant so amended in the following
specifications: The witness finds in this
ledger balances in favor of the Western
and Atlantic Railroad, with no credit,
entered as follows:
From the C., C., C. and I. Railroad
$206, of date December 31st, 1870; from
the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton
Railroad $4.38, of the same date, and
no credit. Also, from the following roads,
all of the same date and without credit:
Balance from Mobile and Ohio Bail-
road, $249 39. Balance from Michigan
Central Railroad, $297 53. Pensacola
and Mobile Railroad, $192 15. Terre
Haute and Indianapolis Railroad, $81 44.
Pennsylvania and Louisville Railroad,
$10 75. Virginia and Tennessee Air-
Line $13 25. St. Louis and Terre Haute
Railroad, $77. Memphis and St. Louis
Packet Company, $54 50. Milwaukie
and St. Paul Railroad, $7 59. Paducah
and Gulf Railroad, $13 75. South’and
North Alabama Railroad, $77 35. In
dianapolis, Louisville and Western Rail
road, $7. Burlington and Missouri Rail
road, $17. Chesapeake and Ohio Rail
road, $6 93. Boston and Albany Rail
road, $8 04. Louisville and Cincinnati
Short Line, $372 70. Tennessee Coal
and River Railroad, $50.
The witness stated that if these balan
ces have been paid they should have been
credited on the books.” The counsel for
prosecution stated that the amounts to
be accounted for aggregated $15,000.
The defense wanted the names of the
parties given in the warrant, as the pris
oner is accused of appropriating the
money to his own use.
The prosecution proposed to prove that
the prisoner had appropriated $15,000
and the warrant was so amended.
The witness further said that be found
various balances unsettled with connect
ing roads. The books had not been bal
anced since December 31st, 1870, and
show no credits of money received or
disbursed up to this time. He (witness)
was asked about letters addressed to
McCalla from other roads indorsing
drafts and checks for amounts aggrega
ting about $1,800. He had seen no vouch
ers on which McCalla had paid out
money, and don’t know whether prisoner
had collected any money or not, all
he knew was from the books, that the
book keeper generally gets the Treasurer’s
receipt for the amount received. The
bookkeeper may receive money and not
immediately make an entry, and put it
in bank for safe keeping, if. necessary,
until convenient to pay over to the Treas
urer. When witness was bookkeeper he
would pay-all money over received by
him to the Treasurer without making any
entry in the book. The bookkeeper has
no official right to receive money belong
ing to the road; hut if the bookkeeper
believed the Treasurer not a bonded offi
cer,it would be safer for him toput money
in bank for safety rather than give it to
an unbonded Treasurer. In a case where
the official capacity of the Treasurer is
doubtful it would be deemed the saftest
plan to pat the money in bank for safe
keeping, to be accounted for at a proper
time.
At half-past six it was deemed best to
postpone the trial, and by consent of
oonnsel and direction of the Court, it
will be taken up again at the Hall to-mor
row morning, beginning at 8 o’clock.
The counsel present for the prosecu
tion was Attorney General Farrow and
John A. Stephens; for the defense Maj.
Hargrove and CoL Cowart.

Helena, Montana Territory, )
September 5, 1871. \
Editors Atlanta Daily Sim: The rays of
jour great Georgia Sun have shined so
brightly as to reach Montana, though
more than two thousand miles away from
your sanctum: and the result—a tangible
one, by the way,—is, that already a
club of forty or more has been made at
this place for your luminary, and the
prospect is that this is only an earnest of
what is yet to come.
I do not, howeyer, propose to write a
political letter. Tour own pen, with that
of your; most efficient corps of corres
pondents, is so effectively and lucidly
discussing the issues of the day, as to
leave scarcely anything unsaid. It is of
Montana and the extraordinary induce
ments which she offers to immigrants,
that I desire to write.
I do not propose to discourage
t(iose who are comfortably situated; unto
such I would say, “Let well enough
alone;” but unto him who is discontented
with his surroundings; who is looking
out for a new home in the West, but fear
ful of going to a country in which he
would find himself at entire variance, so
cially and politically, with those around
him; who desires cheap and rich lands,
the best of climates,a country unsurpassed
for health, aDd resources of such a na
ture as to insure future prosperity—for
the benefit of such I desire to write.
Owing to the remoteness of our loca
tion, the long travel in order to get here,
our own recent organization as a Terri
tory, and the fact that our citizens have
been too busy at home to give to those
abroad an idea of the wonderful resour
ces of the country; owing to these and
other causes, but little has been known
in the States in regard to Montana. Of
late, considerable interest has been awak
ened, more especially in the Southern
States. Letters are continually received
here making inquiry about the climate,
soil, resources, etc. Many others would
doubtless write if they knew to whom to
direct their letters.
In regard to our climate I do not hesi
tate to say that in the judgment of those,
who know it, we have the best in toe
world—combining the excellencies of
all the various parts of the temperate
zones, we have neither the extremes of
heat and.cold to be found in the North
ern and Middle States; the depressing,
enervating miasmas of the South; the
storms of the Territories to the South of
us, nor the rainy, dreary winters of the
Atlantic Coast.
A sultry day is of rare occurrence dur
ing our summers, and when it does occur,
the extreme heat lasts only a few hours
during the middle of the day, and the
nights are always cool and pleasant, re
quiring a blanket or more for covering.
The coolness of the nights always in
sures a refreshing sleep,-and one arises in
the morning invigorated.
But the winters are our “crown of
gladness.” We are away up near the
British Possessions, in latitude 46 °, and
yet, not even in Georgia, do you have
such weather from December to April.—
From the fall until spring, we have no
rain at all; and the absence of humidity
iu the atmosphere causes the cold to he
but little felt, even when the thermome
ter is about or below zero.
The mildness of the winter is believed
to be occasioned, in a great degree, by
two causes: First, the depression of the
mountain range which here, has not by
any means, so high an elevation as far
ther South; second, the influence of the
Japanese current, which, in its trend,
washes our Northwest Pacific coast.
Whatever may be the causes, the dif
ference between the thermal line in Mon
tana and those States on the same lati
tude, is certainly a most remarkable,
though not an unusual one.
Owing to our peculiar climate, the re
markable purity and dryness of the at
mosphere, the health of the country is
extraordinary. We have no chills or
billious ailments of any kind; no
scrofulous or other diseases incident
to an impure condition of the
blood; no rheumatism or consumption,
except such as is brought to the country;
in fact, no diseases of any kind that are
incident to the country. Many cases of
consumption have been entirely cured by
removal to this country, and all have
been materially benefited. In fact, in
this writer’s judgment, this climate would
be, in nearly every case, a certain cure
for pulmonary diseases, if the patient
would but “ throw physic to the dogs,”
stay in the house—even at night—as lit
tle as possible, and take as much exercise
out of doors as he could. If any climate
on earth will cure consumption, it is be
lieved this will. To my mind, climate is
the only cure for the disease.
Now for our soil. As invaluable as is
tlie consideration of tlie best of health
and climates combined, yet man is to
earn his bread, which must come out of
the bosom of the earth. There are in
Montana about twenty-three millions of
acres of the very best agricultural land,
susceptible of irrigation, convenient
to timber, lying in valleys, the beauty of
whose scenery is unsurpassed, adjacent
to rivers of icy-cold water, fresh from
the mountains near by, and ready, when
tickled with the plow, to laugh an abun
dant harvest. On those ranches already
under cultivation, the yield of grain and
roots has been almost beyond belief.—
The largest crop of wheat in the world,
to far as is known to me—a yield of
eighty-three bushels to the acre—has been
produced in Montana; and this summer
any number of farmers have produced an
average of fifty bushels. I saw, not long
since, in the valley of the Jefferson river,
a field of Irish oats from which an average
stalk was measured. t It3 head, not quite
out of the boot, was eighteen inches
long, and contained four hundred and
eighteen grains. The blade measured
one and a half inches, and it was ex
pected that the yield of the crop would
be one hundred and fifty bushels to the
acre! Barley produces from thirty-five
to fifty bushels per aire.
All that is necessary for the produc
tion of fine crops of hay, is to let the
native grass grd* without interference
from stock. Potatoes, the finest imagi-
n&biCy yield two hundred bushels per acre
Our seasons are too short for corn, bat
we have no need for it.
But I am writing at too great length.
With your permission, I hope again to
wnte of this wonderful country.

Nitw York, Sept. 18.—Comptroller
Connolly, having appointed a deputy to
exercise his functions, Mayor Hall, con
struing this action as a virtual resigna
tion, appointed General McClellan Comp
troller. McClellan has not yet accepted
the post, and waits Connolly’s action un
der the Mayor’s dismissal.
Connolly writes to Mayor Hall, in re
sponse to his letter of dismissal, that he
has not, in fact or equivalent, resigned
the office of Comptroller. The excite
ment is intense. Vast crowds are around
the city and county offices.
The Commercial says McClellan has
accepted the Comptrollership, and will

apply to the courts for an order giving
Mm possession, which order will un
doubtedly be granted. McClellan, sup
ported by a posse, will then take pos
session. ...

meantime, Connolly and Green have as
surances of potent support.
Green has delivered to the committee all'

It is authoritatively stated that Me
Clellan declines the Comptrollership."
Connolly and his deputies have dou

Charles O’Connor, at the request of L.

The New York Tribune, of the
16th, has the following paragraph:
A Georgia postmaster, with the sugges
tive name of Semmes, is a defaulter to
the Government to the amount of $30,-
000. Miv Semmes appears to be an un
commonly honest defaulter; he really has
no idea where the money has gone. Bat,
unless he or bis bondsmen can give a
better account of his administration, we
hope he will be given solitary confine
ment long enough to enable him to re
call his financial operations to his very
defective memory.
Perhaps the T'ibune will be kind
enough to inform the people of Georgia
and the general reader, whence the sug
gestiveness of the name ? When did
such a man hold a post office in Geor
gia ? What office did he hold? When
did the defalcation take place? These
questions are all interesting, and may,
perhaps, give the people of Georgia
some light upon a subject that is either
very new to them, or so old that they
have forgotten it. There are not more
than lialf*a dozen offices in the State
where a postmaster could “default” to
the amount of $30,000.
