TIE ATLANTA DAILY HERALD. VOL. 1. y T ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, JUNE 0, 1873. NO. 205 The Daily Herald .r the Daily Herald I. A LAST NOTICE OK A VERY RIDICl!- UHI PAPER. We shall not condescend to take farther notice of the Hooper family organ in Opelika, called the Observer, than to say that when we do liegin defaming the character of any lady we shall cheerfully make pnblic the price of the dirty work. The Observer's article is very belligerent, and was evidently written (or tbo purpose of provoking a personal con troversy. We mast decline to gratify it Let it blaster as ranch as it pleases. Ugly words and epithets cannot be resented by the IIebald except when ottered by men worthy of onr recognition, lienee, the Observer man can swear away at will. The most we can promise is that if he ever comes to Atlanta we will order onr engineer to kick him out of the office, bat beyond that we cannot gratify bis belligerent inclinations. We were certainly in a very good hnmor. Indeed, we have laughed heartily over the senile blustering of this Observer. To quar rel with its childishness wonld be worse than absurd. To treat it seriously any longer wonld be ridiculous. It gave us a brief di version, and now we drop it os a contempti ble little affair. It wants to win reputation by a controversy with as, but wc are not good matured enough to gratify it Meantime, if it will do the bellicose little Affair any good, we would advise it to ascer tain the drift of public sentiment In Opelika by inquiring from the postmaster at that place how large has been the increase in onr circulation there since Mr. Phillips lost his life. With this we bid tbe Observer adieu, recommending its bellicose editors to consult a physician and find out to wLat extent their brains are softened, and whether a temporary rest from the arduous task of defending the Hooper family, and most basely and cowardly using a young girl to cover up this piece of dirty work, would not afford some hope of a final restoration to reason. THE OPELIKA TRAGEDY. Preliminary Testimony Re sumed, Testimony for the Prosecution Concluded- Special Telegram to Atlanta Herald. T11B SANITARY CONDITION OK AT LANTA. We most earnestly call tbe attention of the City Council to the fact that cholera is now ravaging the towns along the Mississippi river. Is the condition ol Atlanta such os to make ns sanguine that the scourge will not visit ns ? Is jt not notorious that very many of the out-honses in tbe business centre of the city are in a fearful condition, and that l hey daily emit an odor foal enough to produce distemper? Is it not also a melancholy fset tbat our drainage is insufficient, that we have not enough sewers, and that the water we are compelled to drink is filthy and unwhole some ? Is, in short, the sanitary condition of Atlanta such os to give ns confidence ? We do not wish to find fault, simply forlhe pur pose of finding fault; bat every thoughtful citizen mast perceive that the City Council is not fulfilling its pledges in many respects. Six months of the year have already passed, and yet not s single thing has been done towards getting us waterworks. Not a step has been token towards insuring the speedy completion of the Western railroad; while, except in macadamizing streets on which there are no sewers, so that when the sewers are to be laid it will be necessary to tear np the Macadam pavement, and to do tbfe work all over again; and sporadic measures in the maiteT of sewers, the Council has done little or nothing. We are not alarmists, hot we say it serious ly, that if the cholera comes here it will find plenty of material on which to live and in. crease. It has never been here before, it is true, bnt that is no reason why it should not visit ns this year. Bnt whether or not it comes, we hold it to be the duty of the mu nicipal authorities to give us water works and sewers, and to keep the city clean. And that is the very duty that they are not performing. Economy is a very good thing, and we ore warm advocates ot its exercise; bnt that econ. omy which compels us to drink filthy water, and to have oar nostrils assailed by vile odors, which snrpass the “seven well defined stinks of Cologne,” is a false one, which every citi zen of Atlanta will bewail before long. The Dollar Savings Bank. In calling attention to the card of the Dollar Saving. Bank, which appears elsewhere, we merely state what everybody knows, that It Is ons of the sonndeat and beat managed institutions In Atlanta. Under tbe Presidency of Colonel Gordon It bss taken rank with tbe most nourishing banks la Georgia, while the splendid administrative ability of the Cashier Mr. J. M. Willis, has bean dna a great port of Its suc cess. There te one feature in the Dollar SaviDf. Book which especially recommends ft to the public. It ie tbe only institution la the city which allewa dc poettors interest on lie deposits As a consequence, ill persons having money which they de not core about investing fh.realises, can obtain e good per- outage on It by depositing the am. I Dollar Having. Beak, end they drew i at will, jnat ee In the cnee of any other bonk. Owing to the prudent financiering of Col. Gordon and splendid hasinese capacity of Mr. Willie, ell the fnnde of the bonk are always safety invested In first class seeurltlas, and thus it follows that depot 1 t >rs are absolutely safe. Ia addition, the board of di rectors comprise some of tbe wealthiest man in the city, whose association with the Beak la addition al guarantee of its character. It Is the only saving, bonk proper La Atlanta, snl as euch deserve, the pub lie coufldemce it enjoys. There ore thonaooda of dol lore is Atlanta, bid away in trunks, wardrobe., etc., which, if pat into this bank would yield a handsome income to the owners. We call special attention to the card of tbe beak. As will be aaea. It carries on e regular becking basi licas, its special attraction being that it allows lnteroat on ell deposits, end In this regard offers Inducement, to depositors not offered by env ether bank.

The following dispatch was sent to-day from Salem. Oregon, to the Secretary of War at Washington in re gard to the outlaws now in the custody of the United States military authorities: I most respectfully request that those who now stand indicted in the Criminal Court of Jackson coun ty, Oregon, for the crime of murder, and who are not amenable to military execution, be delivered to tbe civil authorities of this State for trial and punishment If they have a legal defense, baaed either upon amnes ty or a denial of guilt, let tbe defense be pleaded be fore the proper tribunal. (Signed) L. S. Gnovxn, Governor of Oregon. A tornade prostrated the pavilion of the New York and New Orleans Circus, creating a great panic. No one killed. Views of the Washington Authorities. Washington, June 5, 1873. The President, Secretary of the Interior and Gener al Sherman had a consultation to-day on the Modoc question. This was the first formal consideration of the subject by officers of the government; and pre inary steps were taken to determine the point at issue, namely: what shall bo done with the Modoc priaonors? In the first place it seems to be the understanding that the Secretary' of the Interior no power of direction in the premises, or at least he will take no present action, the Indians having violated their treaty obligation by resorting to hostilities, and thus placed themselves beyond the care and supervision of the Department. Secondly, the United States troops having conducted operations against them, their custody belongs to tho military tbe same as of prisoners of war captured or surrender ed, or other persons taken in arms against the author ity of the United States, and guL’ty of outrageous acts. Third, these premises being settled, the ques tion as to what shall be done with the Modoc prison- era—whether they shall be tried by a military mission or remitted to the civil courts, will be submit ted to the Attorney General by the military authorities for his opinion, which will govern the law 1q tho case, and in this course the President, Secretary of tho In terior and Geu. Sherman are in accord. The Yanktons Quiet and Orderly. Yankton, Agency D. T., June 4, via Fort Randall, June 5,1873.

One of the teachers quietly prompt ed a boy to say that it was for a hostage, and the yonlh, not qnite catching the words, piped out: "He was detained for postage.” An old man from Uaine has just removed alone to establish bis home among strangers in Minnesota. A little more than ten years ago he had a wife and eight children. His four boys went to the war, and all laid down their lives in defense of their country. Their mother died broken-hearted at her loss, and his (four daughters did not long survive her. The Memphis Chief of Police has sent his brother officer in St Paul, Minnesota, a oouple of beautiful squirrels, with a letter in which he expresses the hope that “they (L e., the squirrels,) will both live to a good old age, and in after time gather around them a large family and commemorate, say in 1883, their first decadel advent into your beautiful city.” In tbe absence of a family at Windsor, Canada, yesterday, three bnrglars entered the honse. On being discovered, one jumped out through the window, cutting an artery of his leg. He ran about a block and fell, dying in five minutes from the loss of blood. The other two escaped through the window. Same of tho newspapers which have very little regard for “dignitaries," call the Presi dent the “Grort American Traveler." But then it is to be recollected that with tbe ex ception of bis “long term" at Long Branch, bis excursions are frequent and brief The depth of bigoted intolerance seems to > reached by a so-called religious paper of Pittaburg, which expresses its sanctimonious sorrow “that Chief Justice Chaso spent his lost afternoon on earth riding in the park." A Philadelphia ship builder propo.es to weld together, instead of riveting, the plates and frames of iron vessels, so that they shall be without seam or joining. The post office at Linden, Netv Jersey, was broken into a few nights ago, the safe blown open with gun powder, and the entire mail in it, containing money orders, Ac., stolen. Wiggle-tail Water in Texas. Dr. Redfield ia Cincinnati Commercial. ‘We have a great deal of this wiggle-tail water in this ’ere Texas,” I was told by an old settler on Trinity nver, “and that makes agin onr State mightily among the new-comers.” ‘What do you cill wiggle-tail water?” I asked, detecting a vein which, well worked, might lead to much valuable knowledge. *Oh, water with wiggle-tails in it Wiggle- tails is a little squirmy animal, so small that you can hardly see ’em, unless you look close. They don’t hurt water much when you are real thirsty. Of a dark night you would never know tho difference. I've drunk a many a one and they never had any more effect than taking a chew of tobacco. In a new country, you know, a man must not De too confounded partic’lar. He has to put up with a few things which wouldn’t be exactly regular in an old country. Those fellows that come herefrom Kentucky and Tennessee beat the world being partic’lar. They sling on enough style to do ’em in New York city. They turn up tbeir noses about water, and make more fu&* cvbout a low iittlo hfttmlffi* wig^lo-taila than I would about forty alligators. I will tell you a fact. Early last summer a man and his family came out on Trinity river from Old Kentucky.’ He came in an ox-wagon, and I'll bet he didn't have seventy-five dollars tween this world and the next. But he slung on style powerful. He said he'd been raised on wator without wiggle-tails in it. apd he was going clear back to ole Kentack to get it if he couldn’t in Texas, Why, the squeam ish fellow was offered land near me on the Trinity for four dollars and fifty cents an acre. But he would't have it because the water had wiggle-tails in it. I told him if he was so confounded partic lar that he could strain the water through a rag, but he said he didn’t want any of that in his’n, and he moved on, looking tor a better country. That kind of foolibhne&s has been the ruin of many a man who might* have done well in Texas.” I asked the old gentleman what people were the best satisfied iu Texas, as a general thing. “ Mississippians, sir, Mississippians every ime. They have’nt got any extra airs. They think what’s good enough for as is good enough for them ; they don’t mind wiggletails water, nor any sach little matters. It’s the Kentuckians that curse the country the most Nothing suits them, because it ain’t done as it is in Kentucky. I have a way of drying the Kentucky spreads np when they get in a high way of talking. I say to them if they dou’t-like onr country to go out of it.” I asked then what they did when given such advice. The old man laughed, and said ‘some of ’em went.” Very likely “some of ’em went.” I meet dissatisfied people every day, and who swear they will leave the State the first opportunity, bnt the number is not larger than is to be ex acted, considering the crowds who flock in. t is safe to say that they do not find Texas what they hoped or what they had been led to believe. On every hand yon hear men abus- ing the State, and other men praising it just as loud. AMUSEMENTS. GRAND PICNIC: — AND — OPEN AIR CONCERT, Tuesday. June 10, 1873.

Mr. Beecheb.—It is with extreme reluctance that we are compel led, as chroniclers of passing events, to pub- lish the details of the so-called Beecher-Bow- en-Tilton scandal, which has been the subject of so mnch gossip in Brooklyn and this city for many a month past Something, under the circumstances, was due to the public. Mr. Beecher should remember, os well as to his peculiar friends, Mr. Bowen and Mr. Tilton— and hence, while it was well enough to for give them lor the great—we had almost said the irreparable—injury they have done him, it is to be regretted that be did not bring the alleged slanderer or slanderers into open court, to be dealt with there os they deserve. If he deemed it advisable to notice the matter at all, he had an excellent precedent in the coQtae which Mr. A. T. Stewart saw fit to pursue when similarly libelled by a New York writer for the St. Louis Republican some years ago.

Transits of Venus.—The transists of tbe planet Venus over the disk of the sun, of which so much has been said within the year, takes place at very unequal, though at regular ly recurring periods, viz.: at intervals of 8, 12*2, 8, and 105 years. The last was in June, 1769; and the next will be in December, 1874, and again in 1882. After thAt no other will occur till the year 2004. These transits are very important os onabling us to ascertain the exact distance of the sun from the earth, which is now varionsly stated at from 91,000, 000 to 95,000,000 of miles. At tho transits of 17C1 and 17C9, our astronomical knowledge and facilities were not such os to settle the question which it is now hoped may be deft nitely and finally settled in 1874. Large ap propriations have been made by onr own am* foreign governments, to enable astronomers carefully to observe the coming transit. Tbe English, French, Germans, Russians and Americas, are all arranging for nnmerons and careful observations. Congress passed an aot in 18C8 to tbe effect that, in the case of the death or inability the Chief Justice to discharge his duties, the Associate Justice holding the commission the n<ixt date shall perform all the duties Chief Justice until another U appointed. Un der this act Associate Justice Clifford will as Chief Justice until the successor of the ate Chief Justice Chase is appointed. Special Notice. CHARLESTON CARDS.
