Toe Governors' Ball.
The Atlanta press might he charged with a lack of
enterprise in making such short mention in yesterday’s
papers of the Governors’ ball, which came off at the
Kimball House on Wednesday, the 21st. It certainly
area the most brilliant and successful entertainment
ever given in Atlanta; and if no extended mention of
it waa made in Thursday’s issue it was because the re
porters and editors were all so much entranced by the
elegance of the feast and the beauty of the ladies and
the excitement of the dance, as to render it impossi
ble to tear away. Five times did this reporter deter
mine to leave, and each time he would return to take
one more look at the beautiful fair ones from Tennes
see, Virginia and Georgia, until resolution failed him,
and he said, let the plagued Hebaxji come out without
the ball. I can’t write it. He tried to impress the
services of a very handsome, fair-haired, young
man who formerly wrote up these
ball matters with great skill. but he
replied. “Colonel, you must excuse me; lam very
sorry, but I have an engagement to dance with one of
the moet charming creatures you ever saw.’* The re
ply was, “ Where ie she from ? ” and without waiting
for an answer, we rattled on, “ My dear sir, you have
not seen Miss B. from Tennessee, Miss H. from Nor
folk, Miss 1. B. from Macon, or yon would not say
There wae a very large number present, and if we
bad any fault to find, it was the crowded state of the
floor, which rendered it difficult to move around the
r **21. Dancing to fine moaic was kept up until ten
o ..lock, when supper was announced. Daring the in
tervals of the evening, hundreds passed through the
)orge dining hall of the Kimball, to survey the beauti
ful and artistic arrangement of the feast Mr. Bel
li* aria, to whose genius the arrangement and prepare
Uou of this part of the entertainment ia due,
surpassed himself on this occasion. The tasteful
and elegant arrangement of the mammoth cake, the
abundance of everything, all tend to make Atlanta
proud that Colonel Nicholls should have in his
ploy one so well calculated to do the honors of the
city.
The toilettes weie simply magnificent. We well
know the fearful extravagance to which dressing ia
being carried by the fair aex of to-day, bnt we really
ware not prepared for such elaborate and costly gar
ments as were worn by the ladies at this ball. We
wondered as we gazed upon the organdie and tulle
and point lace, brocade silks and moire antiques,
whether all that we dally bear about the poverty of
the Sonth ia true, and It waa hard to reconcile, until
we remembered how persuasive the dear creatures
can be, sod how it might happen that a man would
bankrupt his household rather than let his wife or
daughter appear at a ball dressed in anything bot a
Paris dress.
This reporter is not enough of the Jenkins to know
much about the material of which dresses are made,
and therefore he will not undertake a description of
any except one or two. which were furnished him by
hie wife, who seemed to know more about th^se mat
ten.
“What a magnificent woman that is! Who is she?”
“My dear air. don’t yon know her? She ia the ele
gant and accomplished Miss Katie B., from Tennessee,
who came here under the charge of Governor John C.
Brown. How splendid, and what a toilette!” Not
knowing hardly what our informant meant, we re
quested her to give it to us, and here it is as wen as
we can remember it; A beautiful Parisian yellow
tulle over a silk skirt, en trail*; trimmed with tea
roses and pansies; whits satin slippers; a tall, ma
jestic woman, a brunette., with large, lustrous eyas—
fascinattng,;beautiful and srracefuL This we get from a
lady, and wa know it must be true, for when one
woman speaks so extravagantly of another her charms
between Mr. BA Clair-Abrams, one <
this paper, and Colonel Gary W. Styles, the editor of
the Albany News.
AN OLD-TIME DISAGREEMENT.
It will be remembered by many of oar citizens that
daring a convention held In *72, which nominated
Governor Jaaaas M. Smith, Colonel John C. Nicholls
and Colonel Styles had a personal rencontre in the
Convention, and were separated by friends. Mr. St.
Clair-Abrams waa at that time correspondent of the
Savannah Advertiser, and telegraphed to his paper his
version of the affair. Colonel Styles teok violent ex
ceptions to his report, and published an advertise
ment in the Constitution, denouncing the writer
of it in emphatic terms. Mr. St Clair-Abrams
replied in equally harsh language, but
nothing serious cams of this disagreement.
THERE WAS NO FURTHER OOMMUlCID AXIOM
between these gentlemen until day before yesterday.
In the meantime, it frequently came to the ears of
Mr. St. Clair-Abrams’ partners that CoL Styles had
said to several parties that Mr. SC Clair-Abrams had
negro blood in his veins—the report differing in de
tails in almost every case, but the main insinuations
being always the same. From at least
half a dozen different parties this report came, and
yet his partners kept it quiet, in the hope that it
would die oat, theft it was simply an accidental misap
prehension. At any rate, they avoided anything that
would stir up such a desperate broil as must ensue
when the knowledge of this thing came to Mr.
SC Clair-Abrams. The late discussion between Gover
nor Brown *nd the Hnuu> revived these rumors and
put them again in circulation. They were bruited
about until they became very offensive, and a gentle
man remarking to a crowd, in the presence of one of
the Herald staff, that there was a terrible article in
one of the offices of this city in proof, and merely
waited a provoking opportunity to be published; and
that this article alluded to a newspaper man of At
lanta. From certain indications presuming pretty
certs inly that this article contained this offensive allu
sion, deemed it proper to inform Mr- St- Clair-Abrams.
OF THE STATE OF AFFAIRS.
As soon as Mr. St Clair-Abrams received the infor
mation, he was, of course, terribly angered, and
started at once to seek Colonel Styles. By persuasion
of friends, he was induced to sit down, quietly, and
address Colonel 8. the following note, which was car
ried to Colonel S. by Colonel Alston:
Atlanta, May 20, 1873.
Cart W. Stiles:
But—It has come to my knowledge from a reliable
source that you have pnt ia circulation a report that I
have negro blood in my veins.
I desire to know whether ot not my information is
correct.
An immediate and unequivocal reply ia instantly
deman ded.
I am, sir,
Alex. 8t. Clair-Abrams.
When Colonel Alston presented the note. Colonel S,
exhibited much excitement, and said to Colonel A.
“Yon ought not to have brought me this note. 1
recognize you as a gentleman; Mr. SL Clair-Abrams I
do not, and cannot, bold communication with him.”
Colonel A. then said to him, “If this ia yoar final
& nswer, prepare to die or to kill Mr. St. Clair-Abrams.”
Colonel S. then became still more excited, and said he
would write a reply. Colonel A. told him to send it up,
as he would have no more to do with it; that he must
correspond directly with Mr. A., as he had only
brought the note to him for the purpose of knowing
that he had received it
The moment Colonel A. got back and informed Mr.
A. of what had occurred, Mr. A. decided to wait half
hour for a reply, and the reply not coming in that
time, he purchased a double-barrelled gun and pro
ceeded to seek Colonel 8., determined to wipe out in
blood this unprovoked and wanton insult.
He had the gun loaded ct Heinz’s store, and pro
ceeded toward the Kimball House with it slung by
his side. He caught sight of Colonel Styles standing
in the middle of the street, and drew his gnu down at
once for the purpoee of firing upon him, when Mayor
Hammock and a {policeman seized him, disarmed
him, and carried him off under arrest Shortly after
this occurred,
DR. ANDREWS, OF THE WASHINGTON GVZETTE,
entered the Herald office with the following note
from Colonel Styles, saying, “I am Instructed by
Colonel Styles to hand yon this note to read, and to
return to me, it not being intended to Mr. St Clair-
Abrams:”
(Note.—We would not publish this note, It being
Colonel Alston’s private property, except for the fact
that in a postscript published in another part of this
article, it is transferred from Colonel Alston to Mr.
St Clair-Abrams, and thence to the public).
Atlanta, Ga., May 20tb, 1873.
Colonel R. A. Alston, Atlanta : The communication
handed me this day by youraeif, from Mr. Alex. St
Clair-Abrams, needs this reply.
I am not the author of any report in relation to Mr
St. Clair-Abrams’ blood, but did say, if he was a son of
a certain family of Abrams of Augusta he had negro
blood in his veins.
I made enqniry in Augusta a few days ago, and satis
fied myself that Mr. St Clair-Abiama is not of the
family reported, and have frequently so stated since,
folly acquitting him of the imputation. I make no
such charge against Mr. St Clair-Abrams.
Respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
CAREY W. STYLES
CoL Alston declined receiving the note, insisting
that it mast be addressed to Mr. St Clair-Abrams, be
fore he would either acknowledge it or receive it At
about eleven o'clock that night Col. D. P. Hill brought
the same note to Col. Alston, with the following post
script annexed by Col. Styles
“Pleaee hand this note to Mr. Abram* as my repl:
to his communication, which, I trust will be satisfac
; that whenever % charge
by the slanderous tongue of another,
that fcta blood mm tainted, that the imperftxv
was an imper-
opinloa of every man worthy to
live, justify a reeort to the shot gun; that when the
imputation of a want of chastity of a man's moihea
was added to the provocation, there were tew men
who would not pronounce it an offense that only blood
gonld wipe out; hut at the same time his duty was
(dear, and knowing the defendant, he felt compelled to
Mud him over in a tea thousand dollar bond.
Mr. St Clair-Abrams then return® I to his office,
under guard, to make his bond. A number of friends
volunteered ftbsir services at once, and a good bond
eras selected and made at onoe. Mr. 84. Oteir-Abraass
was then
PUT A* LIBERTY,
having been forced to pledge bla bondsmen that In-
aide of the State he would keep the peace faithfully
until toe bond expired.
The matter rested quietly until on Wednesday nigh*
when a committee of Editors, consisting of Messrs.
Miliar, of toe Columbus Sun, atone, of toe Monroe
Advertiser, and Smith of toe Brunswick Appeal, call
ed on Col. Alston, and stated that at a meeting of toe
Press Association that evening it had been decided
that It was the doty of CoL Styles to sddresa his note
of explanation and reparation directly to Mr. 8L Clair-
Abrams, and that
IN ACCORD AN OX WITH THIS REQUEST
Col. Styles had authorized them to change the address
of toe note he had written, from “CoL Alston” to “Mr.
Abrams,'* t
Mr. St Clair-Abrams again refused to accept any
thing bat an ip stagy direct from Col. Styles, and thus
toe matter was adjourned.
GENERAL REMARKS.
The public sentiment, as far aa this writer could
gather it, was universally in Mr. St. Clair-Abrams’
fsvor; and,while it was especially unfortunate that any
difficulty should have occurred at this especial junc
ture, there were tew If any who blamed Mr. St Ctair-
Abrams in the slightest degree for his decided action.
The slander waa so terrible and so jagged in its very
suggestions that Mr. St Clair-Abrams was absolutely
stupefied when toe foul report waa flashed upon him.
He tottered in as almost helpless agony to the
counter, and said, in a voice choked and unnatural,
"My God, they have abused me, and cursed me, and
fought me like dogs, but I had never dreamed their
worst malignity would bring it to this.” Dp to Tues
day no breath ef such a rumor had ever come to his

Col. Alston consented to receive this note, but mere
ly to refer it to Mr. fcft. ClsJr-Abrams ss to wbether or
ootit would be satisfactory. Mx. St. Clsir-Abrxms de
clined to accept it. stating that nothing bnt zn une
quivocal apology addressed to him would
BE TOLERATED FOR AN DISTANT.
In tbs meantime Mr. 8L Clsir-Abrtnn wss guarded
throughout toe night by two policemen, end early In
the morning was carried to the Court House to appear
before Judge Hopkins, on s peace warrant.
Upon entering toe court room the reporter found
Mr. Alex. SL Clair-Abrams sitting by bis counsel,
Msjor George Hillyer. Captain Johnson and toe
policeman who arrested Mr. St. Clair-Abram an Tues
day were placed upon toe stand, and testified that
they saw Mr. St* Clair-Abrams passing rapidly down
Whitehall street with a gun in his heads; that Mayor
Hammock told them to follow him, and arregt him
that they ran over to toe Kimball House, followed by
Mayor Hammock, and when they reached the front of
the building they aaw Mr. St. Clair-Abrams with his gun
In the act of shooting ; that they took hold of him, and
at the same instant Mayor Hammock seized the gun; ha
then carried Mr. 8l Clair-Abrams to toe Mayor's el&ce,
and kept him there for several hours, and remained
with him until 10 o’clock at nigbt, when be was 1
lieved'snd another officer put In his place.
Colonel Alston wss then introduced, and testified
the fact that Mr. Hi. Clair-Abrams had heard that
Colonel Styles had circulated the report that bit wife
had known 8ft. Clair-Abrams’ family wen, and that
she knew that Mr. St. Clair-Abrams’ mother wae
negro stnuepet. That this Information was wceived
by Mr. 8ft. Clair-Abrams from what appeared to be toe
most undoubted authority. That Colonel Styles had
told it to a number of parties. That Mr. 8L Ctai
Abrams at onoe addressed a note to Colonel Styles ^de
manding so instant and unequivocal reply as
whether he was the author of sack Reports.
That Colonel Styles refused at first to tend an
reply; tost he told Styles if that was his answer that
he might prepare himself to din, or to kill Mr. St.
Clsir-Abnuns. Here Colonel Styles said tost hs would
send a reply, but not to Mr. 8t. Clair-Abrams. as he
did not recognize Mr. St. Cteir-Abreme as a gentle
men. When be carried Colonel Styles' message, Mr.
St. Clair.Abrams Immediately leaded a double-barrelled
gun, and proceeded at once to seek Stylet, when be
wee emoted.
After toe conclusion of the testimony, Msjor HiUyer
made a statement to too Court earnestly protesting
against depriving the defendant of bis liberty.
The Judge did not require the Solicitor, Captain
Glenn, to reply, but at one# gave the order that toe
defendant be placed under a bond of ton thousand
dollars to keep the peace until the next term of the
Superior Court.
Is making this order. Judge Hopkins made soots
of the most beautiful sad appropriate remarks we
Hs r**^ ia substance, that ffidg
ltd carefully considered it as
a man and a magistrate. That toe peace must be pre
served at all bastrda Thai a future or toe part
of the Mayor and his officers on Tnseday to
do their duty, and instead of this trial fthfire might
have base a trial for kiDlng, sad too remainder of de
fendant's Hie embittered with Mgeeft; to* hs appro-
The general sentiment of toe public may be pretty
well summed up in the indignant words with which
Colonel Alston refused to receive the note addressed
him instead of Mr. St. Clair-Abrams,
'No, air,” said he, “ I will not
receive it. It must go straight to Mr. 8ft. Clair-
Abrams, or the affair must work its own coarse. In
the first piece, I defy any man to place his linger on a
certain act in St. Clair-Abrams’ life that will give the
slightest ground for the assertion that he is no gentle
man. I know him intimately and well, and Grady
and myself will pnt our own reputation on his very
strictest morality, bravery* integrity, honesty, and
chivalry. But If he was the basest creature on earth,
and I had injured him by alluding to such a bate
report in connection with his name, I would crawl on
my knees, ten miles through the dirt, to beg his par
don for the wrong I had unintentionally dcue him.
If I had said such a thing about one of Alexander’s
convicts, I would apologize to him. If I accused my
cook of stealing and found her innocent, I should at
once make her s fall and willing and complete apolo*
To these manly sentiments the writer of this (the
remaining partner) subscribe* with sll his heart
and soul.
In Colonel Styles letter to Colonel R. A. Alston, he
says he never spread the rumor, and never made the
charge. In response to tola portion of his letter we
shell merely give the following correspondence, and
leave the public to arrive at their own conclusion:
CORRESPONDENCE WITH ICR. D. B. WALTON.
Atlanta, May 22d, 1873.
David 8. Walton, Esq. :
Dear Sib—It has been reported to me that you
mentioned having heard Carey W, Styles say that I
had negro blood In my veins.
I most respectfully request that you infoi
letter if this is correct
I have the honor to be, sir,
Yours obediently,
Alex. St. Clair-Abrams.
To this communication Mr. Walton, who is well
known here as the President of the Atlanta Typo
graphical Union, replied ss follows:
Atlanta. Msy 22, 1873.
Alex. 8t. Clair-Abrams:
Dear Sir—In answer to your communication, I
have to my that one day (the date of which 1 cannot
recall) as Colonel Styles passed up the steps of the
Constitution office, on which I was standing, he said,
■peaking of you, tost yon ware “a d—d nigger.” This
about the time he had a personal misunderstand
ing with you. Colonel Styles was not speaking to me
at the time, bnt he made nse of the language, as I
have given it, referring to you.
Iu answer to yonr verbal questi< n, I would alao
state that Carey W. Styles was the first and only per.
son 1 ever heard make the charge.
I am, sir, yours, Ac.,
David S Walton.
From another source comes evidence that bears
pertinently upon the subject. Almost everybody in
Atlanta is acquainted with Mr. Lee Smith, with whom
this correspondence passed:
Atlanta, May 22, 1873.
Lee Smith, Esq.:
Dear Sir—It has been reported to me that yon
mentioned having heard Carey W. Styles say that I
had nagro blood in my veins.
I most respectfully request that you inform me by
letter if this report is correct.
I have the honor to be sir,
Yours, obediently,
Alex. St. Clair-Abrams.
To the above Mr. Lee Smith replied aa follows :
Atlanta, May 22,1873.
Alex. St. Clair-Abrams, Esq.,
Dear Sir.—In reply to yours of this date. I would
■ay that some time ago I was in toe company of Carey
W. Styles and several others, when the conversation
turned upon some matters with which you were con
nected. As near as I can recollect Carey W. Styles
said that if the parties would come to him he could
tell them something that would “easily close Abrams
up,” adding that yon had negro blood in you, or were
part negro. This charge was made by him. as I un
derstood it, as if it vu of his positive kuowledge.
Yours very truly,
Lee Smith.
In the note which Colonel Styles wrote he states that
the rumor was due to a mistake. It may be proper,
however, to say that through lettera and telegrams re
ceived at this office in response to inquiries sent to
Kingston, Jamaica, and various parts of Louisiana, we
find that Mr. St. Clair-Abrams belongs to a family
thoroughly respectable in every respect, of pure and
good Spanish blood, and for several generations
known and esteemed by the communities in which
they live. His mother, who is a native of the West
Indies, now lives In Kingston, Jamaica, with his
brother and her relatives. Aa to Mr. St. Clair-Abrams
life and conduct since his return from abroad, and
during his fifteen years’ residence in America,
aa editorial writer on the Mobile, Macon, Atlanta
and New York papers, and his career during the
war aa a good and faithful follower of the rebel flag,
under which he served as a Captain of Artillery and
Aide-de-camp, it is not necessary to apeak. Hera we
dismiss the subject, having said what we deem at
ones a duty and pleasure to say.
Toasts, Speeches, Wit, Wine and Jollity*
Invitations had been issued to a number of gentle
men to meet Gov Hendricks and other distinguished
Western men at a wine party in the Reading Boom of
the Kimball House at 12% f.m. on yesterday. On
reaching the room, we found assembled a distinguish
ed body of gentlemen, conststing of Governors Hen
dricks and Smith; Honorable L. H. Thomas, of Iowa;
Colonel Peyton, of Virginia; Generals DuBoso, Young,
and Gordon; Honorable E. C. Anderson, of Savannah;
Colonel W. H. Weems, CoL Geo. W. Adair, Major Mc
Farland, Colonel Morebead, Honorable T. M. Nor
wood, Judge Underwood, and Honorable Morgan
Rawls, Colonel E. Y. Clarke, Colonel B. A. Alston and
Captain O. H. Jones, who called the meeting to order
and presided at the head of the table with grace and
dignity.
Goner 1 Gordon announced the business
toe meeting by proposing “ The complete har
mony between the West and South,” accompanied
tho toast with one of those beautiful speeches which
only Gordon can make. This toast was responded to
by Governor Hendricks, in plsin, but forcible lan
guage. He said that while fie had differed with us 1b
the past, yet ho was satisfied that he was talking to a
body of men who felt that what had been done waa
finally settled. That he would not say that in all
things it had been rightly done on their side, but one
thing he had no hesitation In saying that while he was
for war while the war lasted, yet when peace come he
bad been in favor of a real and not a pretended peace.
He had been in favor of the restoration of the Con
stitution, and waa always in favor of the Southern
States reorganizing their own governments without
the intervention of Congress. Governor Hendricks
impressed these remarks on the audience with great
force and eloquence. He was followed by Governor
Smith in one of his happiest and most pleasing ef
forts, winding up with a practical suggestion which
put the whole company in a roar. Hon. L. A. Thomas
followed Governor Smith in the same strain, and took
his seat amid the cheering plaudits of the whole
room.
Colonel G. W. Adair, in one of Adair's peculiar
efforts, which kept the audience iu a roar, toasted the
preaa, and called upon Colonel R. A. Alston to respond.
The Colonel suggested that Colonel E. Y. Clarke, who
had been longer in the business, should do tho speak
ing, but Colonel Clarke left the room, and it, there
fore, devolved upon Colonel B. to do the best he could,
which he did. Colonel Alston called on General Young,
who paid a glowing tribute from personal knowledge
to the great statesman of the West, Governor Thomas
A. Hendricks, and as he pronounced his name, with
accord the response was, “Onr next President.
Colonel Adair was called on by Captain Oliver Jones,
presiding, who, in some very felicitous remarks refer
red to Colonel Adair’s and his own early training
among the broomaedge fields of old DeXalb, and said
that neither of them ever saw champagne uutil they
were twenty-five years old, and thus illustrated
the old adage that there was no telling
what a man might come to before he died. Little did
Col. Adair and myself dream, when we were running
rabbits and twisting possums out of persimmon trees,
that they should ever be in the presence of Governors,
Generals and Statesmen, the distinguished of the
land.
His remarks elicited great applause and much mirth,
and was only equaled by tho adroit manner In which
Col. Georgia Western Adair foiled all efforts on the
part of President Jones to prove that he bad not been
through the Georgia University.
Colonel Peyton, of Virginia, formerly of General
Lee’s staff, made a beautiful speech, referring to the
bravery and magnanimity of the soldiers of both
armies, and concluded by toasting the Federal and
Confederate dead.
Taken all in all, this wss oue of the most joyful oc

the busy scenes of life.

And tone closed toe moet merciful day ot the ntgn

At three o’clock p. m„ yesterday two reporters of
the Herald procured the requisite permission to
enter toe Fnlton county prison, and on being shown
in by Captain Wise, toe jailor, found that fifty-one
male aud eleven female prisoners were confined.
Three of these have already been convicted of murder,
and the decision of the Superior Court in two of toe
cases has been affirmed by the Supreme Court, which
leaves the parties to the Executive as tho only possible
source of relief.
Belton O’Neil is under sonteuce of death for the
murder of Little, aud the (lay designated for his
execution is the I3lh day of June next. Kelly stands
convicted of the murder of Captain Hardeman, of
Newton county, while Malone, as all well know, wae
found guilty of murder in killing Frank Phillips, end
hla case is now pending in tho Supreme Court, end
bla sentence of death meantime is suspended. The
two first are confined exclusively to cells in the jail
and chained by toe leg. The other mate prisoners,
the majority of whom have been convicted, ere con
fined for smaller offenses, such es illicit distilling, as.
unite, larceny, etc., the females for keeping lewd
booses, though they protest that they
kept any houses at all—tost they were boarding
merely, but courts and juries seem, in most instances,
to have entertained a different view of the subject-
There are one or two negro women—the rm
white. The white women were eating a warm dinner
when the men of toe quill entered, and invited the
latter to dine with them, but the latter having
already partaken of a bountiful repast, or from some
cause, declined toe invitation. One of these unfortu
nate creatures was observed careering a small boy,
sged about three years, when one of toe reporters
approached her and inquired if it was her own child.
She answered that it was, when toe reporter
inquired if she would not prefer for some suitable
person to take the little boy and raise end educate it ?
She replied no; that she would not yield it np to any
person at all, and desired to remain in peon
it, as it wae the object of her special love and
Approaching the'cell oocupiedby O’Neil, we found
him quietly sitting down on a small box, looking pale
and emaciated, though swollen by dropsy. His health
is very bed, for besides the dropsy lie has the asthma
and is taking medicine for this disease regularly,
received us kindly, and Invited us to
seats on his box, stating that he was no« allowed to
have chairs In Ills celL In reply to the question if he
thought tost sentence of death would be executed
upon him, he said that he did not, that he believed
the Executive was an honest man, and that he would
not permit him to be hong. He stated that he had
read in the Herald accounts of the hanging of Spann
and Miss Eberhart. and believed that Governor Smith
had done his duty in refusing to interfere to
save him, but their cases were not
logons to his, aud did not possess the same
merit and demand for clemency; that Spann
was a wife-murderer and Miss Eberhart an accomplice
in it, but that he was only guilty of justifiable homi
cide, killing iu self-defense. We here asked him
about the possession of toa large knife with which he
killed Little, and he said that be only had it for the
purpose of opening paint barrels, cutting pieces of
wood, etc., and that It was an accident that he had
it with him when he met Little. We aaked him if toe
rumor that he had been cursing and swearing
true, aud be answered that it was, but hoped toe
people of Atlanta would not condemn him foe a harsh
expression now and then, because
peculiar situation and surroundings; that it seemed
this his illfate in the Courts bad impressed him that
he was persecuted and was provoking. He stated that
he should make no further attempts to escape, and
showed ns the hole that he cut in the floor not long
since. He also remarked that he could break the
chain from off his leg in twenty minutes, but that it
would avail him nothing aa the building waa impreg
nable. He states that ministers had occasionally
called to see him, but that it appeared as if they
had forsaken him; that he was endeavoring
to prepare to meet the worst in the last
extremity, but could not believe that to hang
was his fate. His wife is permitted to come and talk,
to him through toe door. She lives within 200 yards
of the prison, and has no children. On her last visit
she fainted in the jail contemplating the condition of
her beloved husband. He states, that for ten years
previous to the killing of Little he had had no difficul
ty of any consequence with any one; that about ten
years ago several parties attacked him while on his
way from the direction of Marietta to the State shop
for the purpose of sharpening his knife, and that
with the knife he cut one of the party, for which he
was not even arrested, be being universally conceded
to be justifiable. In response to the question, if he
had any objections to the publication of the state
ments made by him, he said that he had none, but
that he had not anticipated such an object.
Passing the cell occupied by Kelly, we fonnd
him reading a book* and he appeared not to
observe ns. He is a stout, healthy, robust
looking man, and Milt Malone saya that
the only person he ever saw unconcerned
by reason of prison life. Malone waa sitting on a
small keg with a plank across it, in front of hte cell,
in the hall of the jail. O’Neil and Kelly are the only
inmates denied toe privilege of jail liberty* One half
of the prisoners are turned out in the morning
and the other half in the evening, to pre
vent it being crowded. Malone is the most neatly
dressed prisoner, and haa the best appearance,
and his cell the cleanest in the jail. He is
sufleriug from some disease. He had in his tap a
■mall terrier dog, whicb he haa had with him ever
since his confinement. He complained of the noise
and confusion which sarronnded him, and which
disturbs his rest and repose. He considers that
O’Neal is the only prisoner in a critical condition.
Kelly don’t consider his condition as perilous. 8ays
that he ia not the man who killed
Hardeman, and that he has not been
identified as such; that he is not guilty, and don’t
believe that an innocent man will be hung; haa
plenty to eat and nothing to do; appears calm and
composed. All toe prisoners concede that they are
kindly troated by the officers, and that they all get
plenty to eat O’Neil enjoys his leisure hours
in pencil writing on the wall of his
prison. He is a sign painter, and
some of his drawings, even with a pencil,
are Interesting. He has the lion, dog, monkey, etc.,
exhibited on his prison wall, together with writings.
Among the tatter we noted the following aggestive
sentence, “I, Belton O'Neil, the persecuted.” Aud
also this:
“Now my mother’s gone to rest,
Goue to the arms of jo7;
And I wonder if she ever thinks
Of her orphan boy.”

others, assisted by the members of Kirkwood Academy.

Tho party remained at Genoral Colquitt’s till eleven
o’clock, when they adjourned to General Gordon’s,
where they remained in the midst of pleasure until
the wee small hours of the morning admonished them
to desist from the exercises of toe ocoasion. The res

Most Important or All.—It may he true
that the Convention of Governors in session
here to-day may find the Great Western Canal
of high importance, but by far the most im
portant duty devolving npou them daring
their stay in Atlanta is the providing of
themselves with one
of holbrooe’s hats,
and the purchasing of some of Holbrook's
matchless Millinery. Their constituents will
find that they have not made their trip in
vain if they return ornamented with one of
these unapproachable hats, and their wives
will certainly feel that it haa been a success
if they return laden with dainty beauties
from Holbrook’s millinery rooms.
Every style of hat or cap that human in
genuity has invented msy be fonnd at this
emporium, and millinery and straw goods in
fall stock and assortment.
Dealers and visitors ore cordially invited
to call and examine. may90-d3t.

confidence that we open the summer season

der fine discipline, and better worthy of the
support of the pnblic than it ever has been
before.
Wo claim to have the best and most suc
cessful College in the South, and defy compe

upon the progress mads by onr students now

We challenge for a contest before an intel
ligent audience, of our students with the

of our students.
We earnestly invite fathers who are in the
city in attendance upon tha Convention to
call and examine the practical workings of
onr institution. A business education is ths
richest legacy a man can leave bis son, and it
is highly Important that hs should get this ed

Dear Sir—In reply to your inquiry, I would
state that my opinion of PETERS’ EUREKA
TANNING PROCESS may be inferred from
the fact that I am now wearing a pair of
boots, the leather of which was tanned by
that process before the same «u perfected
and a patent obtained; that the said boots
have now been in wear for the period of three
years—are the moat pliable and easy to the
feet of any boot 1 ever wore, and are in a
good state of preservation yet.
