8, 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. FROM THE FAR WEST. interesting Letter tana. from 31on- they can obtain any information in regard to the Territory, by writing to Maj. J. R. Boyce, Sr., Helena, Montana. Very, truly, Montanian. TELEGRAMS. About 10 o’clock Saturday, Charles P. McCalla, late General Bookkeeper of the State Road, was arrested under two war rants, the first with, the embezzlement of funds, and the second, with falsifying his books. The first charge is that the said Me Calla did, on or about the 10th day of The Mount Holly Herald, of New Jer sey, makes the following announcement: MTUBLICAH XOSOJiATIOS.

Who spent (100,000 in 1870 in corrupting ihe bal- wMwkfzssr ““* — 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. . ^ “J your readers desire it, intend ing to seek anew home in the West, Washington, September 18.—Delano has returned.

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 proceed Id the Comptroller office and de mand possession, and, if refused, 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. ... Mayor Hall notifies Connolly that he recognizes neither Connolly nor his deputy, Green, as Comptroller. In the meantime, Connolly and Green have as surances of potent support. Green has delivered to the committee all' documents necessary to the investigation. The coroner’s jury holds the proprie tors of the Torpedo factory responsible for the persons murdered by the explo sion. One proprietor was killed by the explosion and the other is in the Toombs in default of $10,000 bail. Ten thousand dollars reward has been offered for the person who stole the vouchers. It is authoritatively stated that Me Clellan declines the Comptrollership." Connolly and his deputies have dou bled the guards, and barricaded the doors to his office. Charles O’Connor, at the request of L. J. Tilclen, has given a written opinion that Connolly, by the appointment of a deputy to perform all his functions, and exercise all his powers, virtually aban dons his office; but that this appoint ment is in strict accordance with the law. NotMng but judicial action can set aside Connolly’s rights. The law confers no right of removal upon Hall, either direct or by implication. The following note is made public: Mayor’s Office, ) New York, September 18,1871. j I am directed by the Mayor to inform you that he does not recognize either Richard B.

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. Xttieeellanedtjg SQL.
