TIE ATLANTA DAILY 4ld. VOL. 1. ATLANTA, GA., SATURDAY, JULY 12, 1873. NO. -273 The Daily Herald. |THE PLAGUE. TO ADVERTISERS. THE ATLANTA DAILY HERALD HAS THE LARGEST CIRCULATION OF ANY PAPER PUBLISHED IN THIS SECTIOI^ai GEORGIA. ^IlK tJWlTRD STATES CHIEF JUSTICE SHIP. i The news from Washinglon that President J irant has offered the Chief Justiceship of the /United States, to Senator Conkling, of New York, would have excited indignation and disgnst twelve years ago, whatever it may now. Senator Conkling is certainly an able orator and a ready debater, but he is not a great lawyer by any means, and will appear a pigmy beside such legal and intellectual giants as Marshall, Taney and Chase, should he become Chief Justice. What is worse in this reported ap pointment, is the fact that Senator Conk ling is one of the most violent radical partisans in the United States, lie has been, and still is, a blind supporter of every act of Grant, and has never been known to utter a manly, independent sentiment since he entered political life. He has always been the obs.qnous mouthpiece of his party, and will do more towards carrying out the cen tralism which Grant has inaugurated, than any other man m the United States. His ap pointment^ Chief Justice will be a terrible blow to republican government. The Su preme Court is already too submissive to Congress and the President. To put a man like Conkling at its bead, will be to make the court the instrument of Grant, and give legal authority to Centralism and C;csarism. Alabama News. From the- Orphan's Home Banner we learn that the A-ylum in Lauderdale is sadly in need of help, (peek ing of the condition of the children the Banner says: They get one biscuit for breakfast ami none for supper, and only a little corn bread and molasses, without butter or meat. Some of the boys go to the field in the hot sun with crown lets bats and with latched and torn clothca. Bol*ert C. Brickell, lately appointed to the Supreme Court bench of Alabama, rose from the prin’er’a case. Hia father was a printer, and Mr. Brickell himself worked several years at the trade before he com menced the atndy of Uw. He is said to be a fast com positor.— Jacksonville Republican. If honors are conferred upon eminence in any class, as that of the law or army, they ahould be upon the printer also. This class of pcoplo do nmre ami harder work, pro bono publico, and get less for it, than any other claas of individuals. The printers* trade is an honorable calling, and should, if it does not, com mand the greatest respect everywhere. The ereateet men the world ever ] rodneed. arose from the printers' case. Earl Stanhope, Frederick William, who married the Princes* Royal of England; William Caxton, one of the fathers of English literature; G. P. Morris, X. P. Wiilis, James Harper, Horace Greeley, Bayard Taylor, Charles Dickens, Thiers, Douglas Jtrrohl, G. D. Prentiss, and Senators Dix, Cameron and Xiles; Benjamin Franklin and James Buchanan, ex-Preai- dent of the United States, all were printers. Every one cannot be a printer—brains are necessary. Montgomery Adrerliter. Alabama baa been particularly unfortunate in the lo*s of her public men. Within the past two years Winston, A.B. Moore, 81»orter, Jemison, Reavis, Dod- well, A. J. Walker, Clinton, Clanton, Whitfield, Pratt, and now the genial Cochrance have passed away. The roll is certainly an illustrious one, for each had placed hia name “High on the dusty roll that ages keep." Within no two years that are to come in the future is Alabama likely to Ldd so many bright names to tho necrology of the times. It is poor consolation to believe that such a misfortune could not be repeated. t Bishop Earvin, of the M. E Church, South, will preside over the next Annual Conference in Alabama. V From a friend who has been in attendance upon the kiminal Court of Russell county this week, and has Movers* d with planters from every section of the Eptxnty, we learn that the crops are in a bad condition ^erywhere. Tho cotton is greatly in the grass and very small for the time of the year. Many have turned oat portions alter having chopped out. One planter turned ont one hundred acres, after having paid $1 00 per day for hands to chop. The oat crop has turned ont very well and is har vested. There Is great complaint of hands becoming dissat isfied and abandoning their employers and seeking dsy labor. Fruit crop fair. Vegetable crops never better. From the Advertiser. The cholera reports in Alabama are getting tetter. We learn by letters from Huntsville that not a case has appeared there since last Thursday. At Birmingham the reports are far better than we could have expected after the excitement of the last week. Montgomery continues remarkbly healthy. A Mr. Myers who refugeed from Birmingham to Tuskegee, was taken down with the cholera at the lat ter place on the 8th and died yesterday. Tuskegee is, however, perfectly healthy and no other case has ap peared there and this one was earned there. M.e. Mitchell will have, when completed, the fiuei-t residence in LaFayett. On Tuesday there were only two cases of cholera in Birmingham. In the afternoon of that day a heavy rain of two hours duration fell, accompanied by some thunder and lightning. About ten o’clock of that night a cool wind from the northeast sprang np. An unfavorable tendency was manifested yesterday morn ing, and six or seven cases were reported up to ten aud a half o’clock. The cholera malady is merging into bilions attacks. The cases are mild and yield more readily to treatment. The commencement exercises cf the Agricultural and Mechanical College, of Auburn, will open twenty-seventh with a sermon from the Rev. William Shepard, of Mobile. The exercises will close night of the thirtieth. Wedowee citizen* contributed $525 to start a high school. From the LaFayette Clipper, we clip the following clips: We are authorized to sti*e that the father of Mr. Treadwell, who was charged with shooting at Mr. Burdett. on the 19th of Aprl last, has proof at band, and will make it known at the proper time, that his sou was many miles irom the scene, at the time Mr. Burdett was wounded. The Grand Reunion of the 37th Alabama Regiment, to come off at Opelika, on Taeaday the 22d instant, is going to be a grand aflair. Col. Wm. F. Slaton, of Griffin, Ga , together with other diatinguiahed orators, will he present and address them. A great many have arrived here in the la»t few days, intending to spend the summer mouths in our town. We admire their taste, for LaFayette is noted for its good health, generous-bearte ! citizen*, pure air and pure water. ■r The Russian Government dtdares that the who have recently been at- tendinL -*ie Swiss nniveisities in considerable are “politicians, revolutionists, radi cals, and inclined to free-love,” and that after the first of January, 1874, such women w ill not be admitted on their return to Rus sia to any examination, educational establish ment, or appointment of any kind under the control of the Government.

The Goodrich Murder Mystery Solved—Ar rest of the Supposed Murderers—Im ports—A Big Suit—Arms for Cuba. Xew Yobk, July 11,1873. The Goodrich murder mystery has been solved. The police have found in the trunks of Kate Stoddart, now under arrest, at her boarding house, Goodrich’s TiDgs, seals, pocket-book and money, which is no donbt tbe same be bad in his possession at the time he was mur dered. The pistol which was three chambered empty, and which it is supposed, be used to committ the mur der, was, also found in her tmnk. Kate’s real name is supposed to be Lizzie King.

The counsel for the Pacific Mail Steamship Company haa served the answer of the company upon ex-Presi- dint Alden H. Stockwell in a suit in which the latter has begun suit to recover certain moneys. One mil lion thice hundred thousand dollars are alleged to be due him. The answer declares that the persons who compose the present Board of Directors are now to do their duties in that company, ansi are personally igno rant of facts alleged, but on information and belief, deny that the claim is well founded. The answer is sworn to by Capt. George U. Bradbury, tbe President of tbe company steamship. City of Merida. Tbe steamer Virginips, Captain Williams, sailed from Aspinwall, eluding tbe vigilance of tbe strict Spanish blockade, on the night of July 1st, and lauded the Island of Cuba, July 7th, a large cargo ot breech- loading arms, powder and medicines for the use of the liberating army. The expedition was fitted out in Aspinwall under tbe supervision of General Mannel Tuesada, and tbe Virginius was closely watched by the Spanish man of war, Boston. After her depar ture she was chased for about 100 miles by Bazan, but readily outsailed and finally eluded her pursuers. Her entire cargo of arms, matches, medicine, clothing, etc., was landed. The Virginius reached KiDgstoD, Jamaica, on her return on Wednesday, July 9th. The expedition alter leaving Aspinwall was under charge of Brigadier General Raphael Tresada, brother of the General. Agents of the Union Pacific ComiaDy have been en joined from transferring stock in Ahe names of per sons recently published as bondholders, and such stock is not now good delivery to purchasers. A Civil Rights Case—The Goodrich Mystery —Statement of Kate Stoddart—Mur der for Love. Xew Yobk, July 11, 1873. The trial of the first Civil Rights case, Aaron Rich, ardson, proprietor and Manager of the Opera House, was placed on trial in the Court cf Sessions yesterday afternoon, on an indictment charging him with misde meanor in violating the provisions of what is known as the Cival Rights Bill. Anna Saw yer, Margaret Payne, Joeo F. Payne and Michael Wcban were examined on the part of the people, tbeir evidence mainly going to show that Payne’s servant had been sent by him, accompanied by his children, who sre almost white, to the box office of tbe Opera house, and pro cured seats down stairs, representing that they were for the parents of tbe children; and that on present ing tbe tickets at the door, they were refused admis sion, and were told tbit there was a place (or them in tbe gallery. The dtfense claimed that the tickets were procured by false representation. Mr. R. W. Pecham, peared for the accused, and Mr. X. C. Moak ap peared for the people. The case was given to the jury about C o’clock in the evening. They came in and reporting they; were unable to agree and were discharged. They stood ten 1 quittal and two for conviction. It is laid they have always been noted as abolitionists. Charge against Peter B. Sweeney and J*s. M. Swee ney, In connection with tbe Tammany frauds, have been nolle proseed and dismissed. Kate Stoddard, under'arrest for tbe murder of Goodrich, in Brooklyn, proves to be Minnie Waltham, of Middleborough, Massachusetts, where her parents are living. She has made the following statement of the murder to the police: She had been living with Charlio, as she called the deceased, and was grertly attached to him. He wanted to cast her off but she loved him so much that she could not leave him; she entreated on her knees that he would allow her to remain, but he was firm, and in fact brutal In his trtatmont of^her, aud the Thursday before tbe Friday on which the body was found, the day was fixed for her to leave him, he threatening her with all sorts of things If she dartd to trouble him further. She had remained In the house in Degraw street all the previous evening and in the morning. When Goodrich got up she again besought him not to cast her off; he wss very angry and refuaed her request, or to bear her at all. He then weut into the beasement at the front bouse and proceeded to light tbe beater which was located there. She loved the man so much that she could sot leave him and when she saw that he was determined to discard her, she worked bereelf up to murder. She had one of his resolvers in her pocket, not the one which the detectives found lying at tbe noose, beaidc the corpee, and while Goodrich wae stooping on one band and knee, in the act of lighting tho beater, ahe drew the pistol and extending her band toward him, and she said “Charlie." he looked up and the shot him three times. These were the fatal wounds which the post mortem examination disclosed. After ahe committed the murder on Thursday morning, she waited all that day and night in the honso watching the body. Friday morning she bad occasion to go to Xew York, and early on that morning ahe washed the blood from tbe face of the man with a towel, which tha wrung out, aud which was also found damp by the police. She fixed the corpso as it wss discovered, and when she had done this she went over to Kcw York for soinethiug or other and was about to return to the house that Fri day evening. She eame over Fulton Ferry, and »s soon as she had put her foct on the street she heard the newsboys crying ont, “ Extra! Murder of Chas. Goodrich." TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES. Among the arrivals at Halifax to day were all the cabin passengers sod 300 steerage passengers of the steamer City of Washington, which wss recently wrecked. Naval reports, received at Washington, slate that no vessels of the North Atlantic fleet are now in Cuban waters; and that there are three vessels at Key West, and the remainder of the fleet at Hampton Roads.

THE REPORT OF THE ATLANTA ItOAjD OF HEALTH -AN ABLE PAPER 71Y DR. CHAM. PINCKNEY. Atlanta, Ga., July 10th, 1873. To the Honorable Mayor and Council of Atlanta: Gentlemen: In submitting to your honora ble body my oflicial report for the half year ending June 30tb, 1873, I would first invite your attention to a comparative statement of the moitality of the city during the past six months with the same period of last year: 1872 | Whites | Col | Total 1*73 | WhltM | GoL | Total 1 2*2 I 31 1 5r, Jan. I 21 36 60 Fob. 25 I 52 j 77 | Mch | 1 12 I 31 j 43 Apr. | 2 i 34 56 May 29 | 65 | 84 Jun. | | 134 | 242 | 376! | 194 | 319 | 513 The white population of the city, as shown by the late census, outnumbers the colored considerably; aud yet the mortality amongst tho latter unfortunate class, according to the above exhibit, is nearly one-third greater than tbut of the whites. THE LAZINESS, POVERTY AND UTTER CONTEMPT for all sanitary rules on tho part of the negro race amply accounts for it. The increased ratio of deaths for 1873 over 1872 is in part owing to tho prevalence of measles during the earlier months of the pres ent year, and to the scquelm of that disease, which all medical men admit to be more de structive of life than the disease itself. In creased population may also be considered iu this connection. But these circumstances are insufficient to meet tho case. The cause lies principally iu a blind, persistent neglect, du ring previous years, by those in authority, to inaugurate aud enforce such sanitary meas ures as were necessary for the preservation of the public health. The health of cities and the ratio of mor tality among their inhabitants depend, ac cording to an overwhelming mass of statis tical information upon tbe MAINTAINANCE OF THE ORIOINAL rURITY of the soil, the water and tho atmosphere. The first demand of public hjgeiu*, therefore, is the rapid removal of all offal and exdre- mentitious snbstancas outside the city limits, before decomposition and putrescence set in. Hence, if possible, removal on the same day on which they are deposited should be effected, with the least expense and the least offense to public comfort and decency. While this expresses the highest object to lie accomplished l>y sanitary police measures on tho part of cities iu behalf of the public health, yet tho final disposal of these sub stances, ns effecting the surroundiug country involves a moral and perhaps legal question, the discussion of which is unnecessary in this connection. Economy, it would seem, im peratively demands their preservation and use in some form for tbe improvement of the soil—their transformation into fertilizers which could be furnished to agriculturists at the proper period in localities most needy. Nothing will so perfectly and completely accomplish # THE frEKDY REMOVAL OF OFFAL AND LXCRE MENT1TIOUS MATTERS as a well-regulated system of water works oper ating through efficient channels and furnishing enough water everyday to float off these substances, before decomposition begins. Upon sufficiency of waler, always at command, and proper construction of sewers and drainpipes, depends the effectiveness of tbe system. First of all, in order to even introduce such a system the streets of the city should be permanently graded. A competent survey should be made and the grades established with tho view of having all the sewers one and tbe same depth below the floor of each Ktreet,and of giving them sufficient fall to pre vent uccummnluton of tilth within. These sewers should be made of some material wholly impermeable to excrcmentitious fluids. Their walls should be water-tight. DRAINAGE IS A VERY DIFFERENT THING FROM SEWERAGE. "Drains for removing water from ponds or satuiated soil most bo made pervious along their course. Sewers must be necessarily wa ter tight to prevent the sewage from escaping into the adjacent soil, aud to cause it to flow freely to some proper outlet." Carried out iu this manner, by men sufficiently conversant with all its details, such a system leaves no requisition of public hygiene, decency and comfort unfulfilled. It not only rids tbe city of all excrement, all household offal, slops and water used in manufacturing or other indus trial establishments, but drains the soil, the basements and cellars of houses, restricts de cay and mould, saves the soil from pollution and restores springs aud wells to their origi nal purity. The atmosphere is made clean, and thus all the chief elements of health are secured. To establish the basis for the construction of such a system of water works, sewers aud drains, should be the highest aim aud ambition of those in authority. Wherever introduced the general mortality has lemarkably diminished. But its savini influence has been more espe cially observed as regards the great infections — typhoid fever and chol«rn. It is a work of time, requiring continued operation in one direction, aud co-operation by succeeding ad ministrations, on the basis ot one established plan as above indicated. According to expe rience the summer months are not, in a sani tary point ot view, adapted to the building of sewers, as the amouut of earth required to bG thrown up aud exposed to the hot sun emits certain gases productive of disease. I should not therefore recommend the inauguration of extensive sewerage at this time. Meanwhile tbe less efficient system of re moving offal, excrcmentitious aud oilier offen sive matters by cartage, once and if possible twice a week, ought to be adopted. A regu lar construction of privies, provided with hermetically closed sheet-iron vessels for the collection aud retention of fecal and in inary deposits, and all girbage ab >ut tho premises should be instituted as early as possible. Privy sinks, particularly in houses, ought to be abolished entirely, as they aro au abomin ation, polluting the soil and vitiating the drinking water and atmosphere. House or occupants should be made to pay regular contractors for the removal of privy contents, and I joND AND SECU to fulfil definite requisitions. This plan, though connected with a more permanent ex pense, furnishes, if in proper hands a valua ble supply of manure, and at least a moderate profit to the contractors. AN INTERESTING SUBJECT, Before leaving this subject, I would respect fully request the attention of your honorable body to a system, known more particularly in Europe os the “Manning Process,” by which excremeutitious and urinary deposits are made the source of large revenues. Accord ing to careful estimates made by the most eminent chemists of the day the average annual yield of a population, iu solid aud fluid excreta, is 1,200 pounds to tho individ ual. Accepting this as true, in a town of 30,000 inhabitants we have 30,000 x 1,200=30, 000.000 pounds, divided by 2,000=18,000 tons, which, being divided again by fifteen, the lowest number of tons requisite, without the chemicals employed, for the converson of the raw material into a dry pulverescent manure, will equal 1,200 tons dry manure. It is claimed that the chemicals used in reducing this manure to the proper status are them selves most excellent fertilizers, aud obtaina ble at small expense, aud that iu the example here given these chemicals will raise the ulti mate yield to about 2,400 tons. Being the best fertilizer known, it should bring about seventy dollars per ton, or equal $108,000. The cost of manufacture is said to be not excessive, and that the process will yield large profits iu any town of 10,000 inhabitants, the average being from one dollar and fifty cents to three dollars and fifty cents per capita. If this be true, Atlanta would yield, at the lowest calculation, a clean revenue of $45,000 per annum. The above facts are gathered from a paper read by John C. Jacobsolm, of New York, on the "Utilization of city wastes," and published in the New York Times iu March last. The following account of the process, as given by that gentleman, may not be unin teresting, and is indeed necessary for the| proper comprehension of the subject: | “A brief statemert of this process may not I be out of place, as it will demonstrate that no portion of the fertilizing elements of night soil can be lost, either iu the collection or manufacture, and that all the deleterious gases or gaseous products, even of tho coal em ployed in the manufacture, or the vapors from the liquid portions of fecal matter, are not only retained in the apparatus, but aro For emptying the cess-pits the barometric system of collection is preferred with the provements therein of Mr. Manning, by which in half an hour tho usual labor of a whole night is performed, without noise, dirt, or bad odor. As soou as a ecss-pit emptied such chemicals aro introduced as w ill most effectively' prevent the fermentation of urine, will fix the ammonia, and retain it until the pit is again emptied, thus preventing the formation of carbonate of ammonia, w hich being of a volatile nature, escapes from the pits to the great detriment of public health, and loss to agriculture, it being found that in one year fifty per cent, of that valuable salt is thus liberated aud lost. At the fac tory the excreta is discharged into large fire brick evaporating chambers of peculiar construction, permitting tho heat to pass around, over nud under the mass, which is evaporated to dryness, while all the soot, gas eous products, products of the coal, etc., em ployed in tho process, are diawn over tho sur face with great rapidity by special machinery adapted to tho purpose, which obviate the ne cessity ot a chimney shaft, nud save six per cent, sulphate ot ammonia, keeping ALL GASES AND VAPORS UNDER PERFECT - the vapors, etc., arise. Charring is entirely prevented, and all possible details and con tingencies are provided for exactly and thoroughly. The dry sediment is then re moved into a cooliug room, built with a cupola roof, the top of which is provided with a small exhaust fan, for carrying off the heated air, and then by suitable machinery, regular proportions of cold ash products or charcoal from the animal or vegetable wastes of cities, properly prepared bytincineration in closed ovens or kilns, or superphosphates, etc., are added and thoroughly mixed with the hot dry sediment. All these operations are pcrfoimtd iu her metically closed vessels or chambers. Nui sance ftom bad offer*, or mephitic gases is rendered impossible. A manure is produced CONTAINING ALL THE ORGANIC AND INORGANIC constituents indispensable to the vigorous growth of plants, with as good a percentage of ammonia ns the best guano, besides many other valuable properties not obtainable in any other manure. Other treatments are embraced i»i the process of Mr. Manning, suited to varied crops, which render this process the most vuluablo hitherto known, when it is consider ed that it begins by arresting decomposition aud decay of the animul and vegetable waste of cities, prevents tbe vitiation of the atmos phere by fecal matter, destroys the mephitic gases, etc., w hich have hitherto been the fruit ful source of disease, misery and death to hundreds of thousands, finally producing the best fertilizer attainable, and within the reach of all, being neither offset by the chances of exhaustion of the supply, nor the caprice ot changeable values aud qualities. Iu England this process lias been for some years in oper ation, in Bloxwieh and Churchbridge, in Staffordshire, under the old process of Mr. —, with remarkable success. Another COMPANY IIAS JUST BEEN FORMED IN LONDON, with a capital of $2,500,000, which is erecting perfected works at Sheffield, Poole, West Bloxwieh, and other cities and towns, and the municipality of Paris, FraLce, I am in formed, has also adopted this process, aud is now erecting works to carry on the reduc tion." These excrcmentitious aud urinary depos its, offul, etc., must be borne beyond the city- limits by one means or another; otherwise they will remain iu or upon tho soil, iu the one case to find their way into the water we drink aud iu the other to contaminate the air we breath. Either condition is absolutely incompatible with the enjoyment of health. There is but little doubt that every drop ot water to be found in the immediate vicinity of Whitehall street,between Decatur aud Mitchell streets, contains more or less of urinary and cxcremontilious deposits. Under the present system of abating privy nuisances the evil is bound lo increase from year to year—an evil which all the lime, copperas and carbolic acid in Georgia w ill fail to remedy. The mode in which such nuisances, under existing laws, are abated (?) is no abatement whatever. The burial of privy deposits merely takes temporarily from the atmosphere certain deleterious matters and gives them to the wells, Your honorable body has seen at the head of this report the vust increase of mortality in Atlanta for the past six months over the same period of last year, the causes of which I have endeavored to explain. If the present system of abating tbe class of nuisances under consideration be persisted in, you may relia bly expect to witness a still greater mortality- next year. I would, therefore, rcspoctlully request your earnest thought upon the mat ters here presented, with the hope that they may point to some mode ot averting the calamities which threaten our city. NO CHOLERA HERE. While the country is more or less excited over Asiatic cholera, I am happy to inform your honorable body that no case of that disea c c has yet been reported to the Board of Health. In several soldiers at the old Barracks died of cholera. These persons bad all recently arrived from au infected north ern city. Iu no instance did the disease spread beyond those who brought it. view of the recent sanitary measures, adopted by your Honorable Body at tho suggestion of the Board of Health, the surface of the city at least is certainly* in a cleaner condition now than in 18Gfi. It is, therefore, nrobable that we shall escape the cholera. The Board, however, most earnestly recommends a continuance of the strictest sanitary discipline. The lime furnished the city has been lil or ally strewn in all appropriate localities. The members of the Board over whom I have the honor to preside, have during the past half year proven themselves, without ex- eption, efficient iu the discharge of all du ties pertaining to their position ns health offi cers. Iu many instances they have gone far beyond legal requirements in order to do that v/liich was deemed necessary for tbe city’s good. A HARMONIOUS BOARD. Our meetings have been many, always bar monious and, it is to be hoped, productive of good result-i. The Marshal and his subordi nates have been ever prompt to carry out, as far us they were able, the acts of .he Board. The Sexton has never failed to present his re port at the proper time. It is due to Dr. Charles Rauschenberg,of our city, to say that to him I am indebted for important hygienic information embraced in this report, Fcrn.it me to thauk your honorable body for its uniform courtesy towards the Board of Health, and the consideration hitherto be stowed upon our views regarding the sanitary requirements of Atlanta. Respectfully submitted. Chas. Pinckney, M. D., Chairman Board of Health. within tho apparatus, aud eutirely preventing their escape or contact even with tho outer atnionphero.
