TIE ATLANTA MI «1; VOL. 1. ATLANTA, GA., WEDNESDAY, MAY 7, 1873. NO. 179 The Daily Herald WED5U5RDAY. MAT 7. 1873. The Atlanta Dally and Weekly Herald foetal, more Reading Hatter than any other Paper la Georgia. The Circulation of the Dally Herald 1. now fniarpaucd by that of any paper la thU Section of the State. We received on yesterday an interesting special dispatch from Borne, and placed it on n desk for editing. Last sight it had disap peared, and the most careful search failed to discover whether it had gone. We have received a number of communica tions on the subject of the Western Bailroad and Great Western Canal, all of which we propose publishing very soon. We publish, this morning, an interesting letter from Savannah. Its publication before has been delayed by reason of a press of other matter, but its contents will be found well worthy of perusal. Farrow and Erskine seem determined to carry out the infamous policy inaugurated by them, anil, at every hazard, to convict the unfortunate men they have suc ceeded in getting indicted. There is scarcely any use in protesting now against the outrage described by oar correspondent After awhile the terrible apathy of our people will end, and then the wrongs of which we justly complain may find a termination. We are in receipt of information that the I'nited States Court of Claims has decided that the cotton tax law, under which some eighty-eight millions of dollars were collect ed, was unconstitutional It appears that a Mr. Berg, instead of petitioning Congress to refund the tsx paid by him, brought suit in the Court ot Claims for its recovery, employ ing eminent counsel, among whom was the present able Ordinary of Chatham county. This gentleman a few days ago received a private letter which announced that the court was against the constitutionality of the law, but its decision has not yet, we believe, been officially promulgated. To a very large num ber of our readers this intelligence will be most gratifying, as it will enable them to re cover the money illegally wrung from them at a time when they were most in need of free dom from taxation. A Bridegroom’s Taking Off. A YOUNG GENTLEMAN IN PHILADELPHIA SHOOTS HrMHELP THBOUGH THE HEART ON HIS WEDDING DAT. From Tbe Press, May 1. Our cily was shocked yesterday by the re port that a well known citizen had suddenly riided his existence by shooting himself throngh the heart with a Smith A Wesson re volver. The suicide was Mr ltichard Dale Pettit, a son of the late Hon. William M. Pet tit, and a nephew of Richard Pettit, Esq., naval paymaster for this station. The sad affair took place at 248 Sooth Eighth street, where the deceased had been boarding for some years. The unfortunate man was in company with friends nntil nearly 12 o’clock on Tuesday night, and appeared to be in the best of ’nepirits. He spoke of his excellent prospects for the futnre, and alluded excitingly to his approaching MARRIAGE with Miss Rebecca Staley, a most estimable lady, daughter of the late Andrew Staley, the well-known brewer, and a niece of the late Dr. Robert C'aldclengh, a wealthy physician, who resided for many years on Chestnut st, below Fifteenth. Dr. C&ldcleugh died some months since, and by his will left quite a large fortune to Miss Staley. It seems that Mr. Pettit had been engaged to be married to Miss Staley for the past thirteen years, the delay having been caused by a desire on the part of the lady to wait until both could secure fortunes sufficient when joined, to insure a competence, ease and enjoyment for the rest of their natural lives. The bright and hopeful picture was utterly obliterated yesterday morning by the terrible act of which we have spoken. The nuptials were to have been celebrated at noon iu St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, on Locust street, above Sixteenth. The announcement was made sometime since to the relatives and immediate friends on both sides, and exten sive preparations had been going on to make the ceremonies as imposing as possible. Rridesmaids and groomsmen were selected; dressmakers of extreme taste engaged to lend their aid to the occasion; joyous were the hearts of all who were to participate in the festivities, and the success of every undertak ing toward the long-1 ooked-for event assured those interested that their hopes wotrid be re alized to the fullest extent THE WEDDING. NEW YORK. Spanish News — Ship Joiners About to Strike—The Bhode Island Strikers, Etc.,. Etc. Saw Yobx, May 6,1873. A Herald special from Madrid reports indications revolutionary and active. The city is placarded with manifestoes urging the people to demand an immedi ate proclamation of the Federal Republic, for the abolition of capital punishment, and the abolition of the State Council, and the separation cf the church and State. General Contreras was then requested by the Fede ral Committee to become President, but declined. The Federalists meeting to-day was excited, but no dis turbance. The people did not come armed, as was threatened. Ship joiners of this city axe about striking for four dollars. ▲ Providence dispatch says that several other mills are closed. It is thought that the crisis of the stride will come Thursday or Friday. Arch-bishop Bailey is quite ill. Judge WoodrufF decides that the United States Courts have no jurisdiction in the suit between Col lector Bailey and tho Central It. R., both being citizens of tbe came State. The men employed in tho Eighth Avenno Toad shops having threatened to strike, were discharged—non society men being employed. Tbe discharged men are threatening the police guarding the works. There is an improved tone in business and flnar. cial circles, owing to a more settled and easier condi tion in the money market. Gold, however, is higher. The sales have been 117, 117;; and 117* on gold lflfna Sates have been from 4 to 7 per cent. For ex change dull rates'in business; about 8* for primo. Sterling 9* to 9* for demand, the nominal rates being from 8* to 9*. Tbe money mar ket is easy; seven per cent, to stock brokers, and six (£7 to government bond dealers. The latter arc pressed by those who wish to lead only on Govern ment bonds to take money for three to four months at seven. Government bonds strong, with rise in gold and with ease in the money market; foreign banks strong. The most noticeable buyers that do business in Southern State bonda the board, amounted to $79,000, with market strong, particularly for Tennessee stock market with more steadiness than yesterday, than the strong Pacific Mail which is using its influ- on the remainder of the market above, haviDg been feverish. The principal dealings having been in tbe Telegraph, Union Pacific and the Lake Shore, New Tork Central and Ohio. This afternoon a rumor was started on the street, that Oakes Ames was dead and the Union Pacific declined one per cent. The ru mor proved untrue. John R. Broadhead. author of the history of Now Tork and a naval officer of this port from 1853 to 1857, and a member of the United States legation at the Hague in 1841, and well known for his literary re searches, died hore to-day of pneumonia, aged 69. General Jas. E. Antonio Paez, ex-President of Yene- sala, died here this morning, aged eighty-four. The regular members of tbe anti-railroad conven tion have been in session all the evening. The subject discussed was the policy of making their proceedings public. The services over the body of Bishop Mcllvain took place m St. Paul’s Church this evening. The distillery at 513 West 52d street has been seized and held for condemnation on a charge of elicit distil lation. The Superintendent of Police has issued orders to the Captains, requiring them to report tho number of liquor saloons in their respective precincts; the names of the proprietors; whether they arc kept open Sundays and election days; whether females are employed as bar tenders or waiters, and various other information. Homer Lane, of this city, and John McMahon, of Rutland, Vermont, have signed articles to wrestle for $1500 a side and the championship of America, on t; 30th instant, at Troy. Albany. May C, 1875. The sale of the N. Y. Central R. C. locomotives by U. 8. Collector Bailey for government tax, is postponed until the 23th inst. It is now said that owing to Judge Woodruff's decision against the company, they will now pay the tax. A local prohibition bill, not excepting cider or lager has passed the Senate. LOUISIANA. Tbe wedding at St. Mark's Church was tbe tbeme of gossip among those who make np its audiences at such times, and atter break fast this morning man; a maiden as well aa matron repaired to her chamber to prepare her toilet, not expecting so soon to receive the startling intelligence that the handsome bridegroom had pnt an end to his own life. The news was broken to the bride in a deli cate manner, from whom there was no res ponse, but a look of woe not bearing descrip tion. She retired at once to her chamber, where she remains shut in with her own grief. What makes this affair additional); sad is that the bride and groom had laid out plans tor a wedding tour to Europe, and had en gaged passage in a vessel pl;ing between New York and Liverpooh It appears that tbe deceased retired about midnight, and nothing was heard of him again nntil seven o'clock ;esterda; morning, when the household was startled b; the re port of a pist. I shot A boarder, Mr. Thom as Hall, proceeded to Mr. Pettit's chamber, and there fonnd bis lifeless corpse stretched upon the floor. He summoned tbe people of the bonse, and physicians were called in, but all efforts to perceive the slightest sign of life were ineffectual. I was fonnd that the ball had entered tbe heart and caused instant ileath. There were no signs of any pram edi- talion in the act The deceased was only partly dressed, and had taken the pistol from a bureau drawer, while apparently arranging his toilet. It seems to have been an net com mitted on tba spar of tbe moment, without previous intent Those who were with him on Tuesday night state that he drank only ale and beer, and was mostly engaged in con versation touching his projected WEDDING TOCS TO ICfcOPE, .peaking of his forthcoming wedding with all of that enthusiasm which nsnally character izea a person on the evaaf a happy matrimo nial alliance. Several persons presented him with letters of introduction to prominent per sonages in London and other cities, all of which he took thankfully and promised to use. The deeeased was an impulsive man, bnt kindly in his disposition. He was about thir ty-six years of age, of Anglican mould in lorm and features, and was not engaged in any business at tho time of his death. He bed studied tbe profession of medicine some years since, but had naver practiced the heal ing art bonse of the deceased gentleman's friends ascribe the rash act to insanity, a theory which is borne out by the fact that ha had stated to several parties that ha was going to Vienna as a correspondent of the Press and Ledger. Collision between the Metropolitans and Dr. Blanche’s Forces. New Ibkhia, May C, 1873. It is reported that the Metropolitans attacked Dr. Blanche's forces near 8t. Martinsville, and were re pulsed—loss three killed and two wounded. Blanche has two hundred men and one cannon. It is stated the Metropolitans will be driven back to St Martinsville. Later advices from 8t. Martinsville report the posi tion of the Metropolitans precarious, and may at any moment be overpowered by the tax resisters. The people of thie section seem determined to pay taxes to the Kellogg Government unless compelled kv troops. LATEB. New Iberia, May C, 11 The Metropolitans took quiet possession of St. Martinsville, Louisiana, on Sunday evening. That night two of the Metropolitan scouts were dangerous ly wounded in the suburbs of that town, one of whom has since died. Skirmishing has been constant since. A conference between the leaders of the contending forces was held yesterday. The Metropolitans wanted to know which of the officers they were about to stall were objectionable to the people, and what they wanted. The resistors replied, the men wer factory if commissioned by Governor McEncry; that the citizens only wanted tho Metropolitans to leave the town and not interfere with their local af fairs. The women and child:en arc yet in the town. Kellogg’s Judge, in company wita his District Attor ney and Congressman Darrall, has gone to St. Martins ville to open court to-day.

Business is generally suspended. New ObUEAXS, May C, 1873. News from St. Martin’s and other parishes, creates much excitement in the city. It is understood that a movement ia on foot to seize the police stations while the police are in the interior. Political complications are increasing. Tbe reaisters claim they are daily gaining strength, while the Kelloggists aver that all opposition is disappearing. Reinforcements of Metropolitans left this morning for St. Marysville. A large meeting was held this p. m., at the Clay Statue, Canal street, addressed by Gen. Hugh Camp bell end others. The object of tho meeting was to endorse the action of the people. MINISTER ORR.

In the House of Commons to-night Sir Charles Dilke moved a resolution that in tho opinion of the nousc, it is desirable to redress irregularities in the distribution of political power in tho United King dom. He complains that legitimate influence, in large and important towns, was swamped by small buroughs, in which a single individual asks paramount over constituency. He pointed ont existing anomalies in representation, and declared that the time of tinker ing had gone by, and complete and thorough revision tho only remedy. Mr. Anderson, member for Glas gow,seconded the motion, and he showed that England was entitled to 490 instead of 493 members of Parlia ment; Ireland to have 89 instead of 105, and Scotland 76 instead ef GO. There wore 8 on tho constituency, with an aggregate of 1840 voters, which bad the same representatives as 8 others with 239,000 voters. It impossible to delay the redistrictlon much longer.

It has the endorsement of the best planters who Lave seen it, and tLe LOW place* it ia the reach of everybody. Read the following certificates from planters at home and at a diatanco : SrxLUiNU Couxty, Ga., April 15, 1873. The undersigned have wen the “Brinley Shaft Plow " at work for two da>B, bedding for cotton, working in a and cotton, and have worked it ourselves, and we express our entire satisfaction with it iu every way. It makes an elegant bed at every trip, and thoroughly pulverizes tbe land at tl>o same time. After bed ding, we plowed down the bed on the water furrow—the place for guano, reversing the bed and covering the guano at the same time. In corn planted In six feet rows, one round cleared the row, and left the land in splen did order, which would have required five furrows with a single plow, thus saving over one-half the labor, and doing the werk equally aa well, if not better. Cotton rows from three to three and a half feet, were cleared at one furrow, which would have required two furrows with any other plow. As a cultivator it surpasses any thing we over saw, and for bedding lands after being broken, it cannot be surpassed, as it does the work of three men and mules. We cheerfully give It our fullest endorsement and recommendation, as the greatest la bor-saving agricultural implement that has ever been on our farniB, or in this country. The draff of the plough is as light as s Dixon Sweep on a single stock—a medium mule carrying it with cose. II. M. GRAY, S. F. GRAY. . H. A. BROOKS, J. T. GRAY. J. M. BROWN, The M Brinley Plough” 1s adapted splendidly for bedding cottou or corn land, and for the cultivation of field crops. I have made many ploughs, and understand what ploughs should do, and unhesitatingly say that the “ Shaft Plow ” will do all that is claimed for It as a cultivator, Baving the labor of two men and mules. JAS. M. BARFIELD. GTiTFFtx, Ga., April 8,1873. Mb. A. M. Speights—Dear Sir: We witnessed the working of your “ BRIXLKk’B SHAFT PLOW,” on the land of 8. B. Burr, this day, and do not hesitate to say that it is good for all claimed for it. It broke and bed ded cottou land as well. If not better, than one horse and hand could do, making a complete bed at one haul. It ia equal to three hands and three mules, and is easily worked by one mnle or one horse. We consider it a great labor-saver, and unhesitatingly recommend it, ned will ut-e it ourselves an n<*on as they can be proc ?red. S. B. BURK, RUF. JOHNSON, DU. J. H. CONN ALLY. W. F. Roberts, of Grahamville, 8. C., says: •* No other Thill or Shaft Plough is anywhere by tho tide of Brinley’s. My Foreman has tried it, and says that Brinley’s is worth a doz-m of any other. The negroes are delighted with it.” W. G. Gibbs, Colnmbis, S. C., says: “The Shaft Plough liss been worked with perfect success and satisfac tion. I am delighted with it.” W. A. Walters, Simpsonville, Ky., says: “ Works admirably—cleans out a row of corn at one sweep—easily managed—runB as steadily as a breaking plough—will do twice the work of a double shovel and do it better.” A. 0. Jackson, Greensboro, Ga., says: “ I find your Shaft Plow the perfection of covcrers for corn and cot ton.” J. H. Nichols, Kacooche, Ga., says: “The Brinley Shaft Plow, for the purpose for which it is designed, ex cels anything I have seen used.” One of his hands says; “I would as soon plough with this plengh aa to play.” R. H.
