THE HERALD'S CIRCULATION.
lihst Sunday, through inadvertence, oar re
port of the continued increase of our circula
tion was left out. We, therefore, print this
morning a comparative statement of the cir
culation for the past three weeks:
Number of qnires for week ending July 13 SB?
Number of quiree for week ending July (.... 855
Number of quires for week ending June 29 846
Average per day for week ending July 13....3,548
Average per day f'»r week ending July 6.... 3.420
Average per day for week ending June 29.... 3,384
As will be seen, the gain of dailies during
the past week was 108. Any person doubt
ing this statement can examine our books and
obtain the affidavit of our mail clerk of its
correctness. But we won’t bet, or go into j secure in Borne. Every impartial writer,
PRINCE NAPOLEON AND HIS IN-
TKIOTW—ITALY AND THE
ROMAN QUESTION.
An explanation of Prince Napoleon’s intrigues
is found in the interview with the Empress
Eugenie, published on yesterday. As isjno-
toriously known, the Prince is anything bot
a religious man. He is a thorough disciple of
Voltaire; skeptical in religious matters to au
offensive extent; although morally not worse
than many other princes—the Prince of
Wales for example. As the Empress re
marked, he is able, a good judge of men and
rich. These three qualifications have enabled
him to form a party of his own, composed of
very able men. Nevertheless, he is not popu
lar in France. With the army he is entirely
out of favor, and is known to the soldiers as
“Plon Plon,” a nickname given him by
them. The clergy abhor him, so do the peas
antry, while all the other classes of French
society are indifferent if not hostile.
In spite of these disadvantages, the pres
tige of his name, no less than his decided
talents and the liberal sentiments he has given
expression to, have won him a hearing and
enabled him to form a party of his own. That
he aspires to become the head of the French
nation is evident In this ambition be is en
couraged by his father-in-law, the King of
Italy. Victor Emmanuel does not yet feel
any exhibition.
We devote a large portion of oar paper this
morning to the publication of the eloquent
oration of CoL H. D. Capers, delivered at the
Capitol on the 4th day of July. This speech
will no doubt be extensively read, as being
the first of the kind which has been delivered
by a Southern man in the Sooth since the
surrender. Col. Capers was a gallant soldier
of the Confederate army, and, like most of
those |Who took an active part in our late
struggle, he is anxious for a restoration of
peace and good-will.
The anarchy in Spain is becoming frightful,
and the prospect of the Carlists overthrowing
the so-called Republican government is fast
becoming a probability. Such a success
would simply be the removal of one evil by
another. The bigotry and intolerance of the
Carlists would 60on fill the Spanish prisons, _ . , , . , - - . . -
... . . , , , ~ r i denng churches and convents and driving out
with men who happened to differ from them tx ~ v,+ a*-^
on religious questions, and fill continental :
Europe with Spanish exiles. Perhaps the j
whether Protestant or not, admits that his
occupation of that city was a gross outrage
upon the Pope and a gross violation of solemn
treaty obligations. It is not surprising, there
fore, that Catholics everywhere are hostile to
him, and that even among the free-thinkers
and skeptics of France the desire is strong to
see him driven out of the city and sent back
to Florence.
Victor Emmanuel had no claim whatever
upon Borne. For centuries it bad been ruled
by the Popes, and the Czar of Russia had
about as good a title to it as the King of Italy.
Putting aside all religious prejudices, the oc
cupation of Rome was au outrage, pure and
simple. Victor Emmanuel walked in while
France was in extremis and Austria powerless.
The only pretext he had was that Rome must
be the capital of United Italy. And since
Rome was occupied the King and his Parlia
ment have been principally engaged in plun-
If Italy is to retain Rome, the must look to .
Germany and Rusgia for assistance; but from
France she cannot obtain even acquiescence
in the occnpation. Her position is conse
quently a dangerous one. Bismarck will
never jeopardize the German Empire for Italy
and the moment the German Catholics be
come dangerous, he is just the man to win
them over by coolly deserting Italy and advo
cating the restoration of the Pope's temporal
power#.
DM. PINCKNEY AND THE CITY
COUNCIL.
The Hxbald published yesterday a very
able paper from the hands of Dr. Pinckney,
the Chairman of the Board of Health of
Atlanta.
After a pleasant and intelligent discussion
of the general and comparative health of our
citizens, Dr. Pinckney touched at length
upon the most vital point of Atlanta’s sani
tary regulations—the removal of her excre-
mentitious matter. Whether Dr. Pinckney
has or has not struck the correct details of
the remedy, he is certainly on the general
right line. The excrement while extremely
injurious and worthless if thrown away or
scatteied, becomes both harmless and valua
ble if preserved and properly worked up into
manure. The “ poudrette” of New York city,
made of this matter, is a splendid manure,
and the company that manufactures it re
moves New York night soil without a cent of
cost to the city, getting their pay out of the
manure into which the excrement is made.
Cannot some similar arrangement be made in
Atlanta ?
We earnestly commend Dr. Pinckney’s arii
cle to the careful cansideration of the City
Council and all thoughtful citizens.

It has got to be a pretty generally accepted belief
that, for the past year, Atlanta haa not grown with
that magical rapidity which characterized her in ’69,
’70 and '71. And a pretty general feeling has pre
vailed in the breasts ot her enemies that

There never wae a rumor more erroneously accept

steady rush, like the rolling of some great torrent,
Atlanta sweeps on in her grand march. Nothing can
stop her; nothing can swerve her; right as to her no
ble destiny ah* hurries. There ia not so much talk
about the marvel of her rapid growth now as there haa
been, simply because public wonder has beoom* fa-
AT GRIFFIN.
To trk Editors or tee Herald :
On Friday last it waa our pleasure to spend the prin-
cip d portion of the day in the beautiful Middle Geor
gia city —Griffin. While there we took what politicians
would call a calm aurvey of the “ situation,” which re
sulted in the following conclusions:
—Thst, for eligible and healthy location, pure
air and fins water, Griffin ia unsurpassed in the State.
Second—That the citizens possess, in an eminent
degree, those essential qualities to success and useful
ness—industry and enterprise, with moral and intel
lectual culture.
Third—That the surrounding country keeps pace
with the city in permanent prosperity and the trait*
referred to.
The substantial buildings,stores and residences,of the
city are indicative of and inseparably oonnected with
the idea of permanency; and In thia particular, espw
dally as to residences, the comparison with Atlanta la
moat favorable to Griffin. The population ia estimated
at about five thousand, and steadUy Increasing. The
business ia chiefly conducted on the right of the rail-
tigued. But still w* grow just as much.

best thing Spain could da would be to recall
Queen Isabella. If that obese royal lady is
even not as moral and as virtuous as she
ought to be, she is at least capable of giving
the Spaniards a more stable government than
they are likely to obtain under either Carlists
or Republicans; and, in so doing, she would
promote the prosperity of her country and
the happiness of her people.
.MEAT JTUTURKS.
We have heard a great deal during the past
three years of “Cotton Fatures,” and now
comes “ Meat Futures.”
We have heard of a firm in this city that
generally mauages to keep well posted, who
foresaw early last Spring that owing to the
immensity of the foreign demand, that the
hog prospect would go very high duriDg the
summer, and consequently they made heavy
contracts for June, July, August and Septem
ber delivery. They have now a very large
profit on these contracts, but as the prospect
is favorable for still higher prices, they decline
| on those streets which cross thia one, and a few are
also to be met with on Broadway. This laat named
i runs parallel with the railroad.
The city ia rather neatly and compactly built, and
the whole well shaded by trees that have been planted
with taate, and that add no less to the comfort than
appearance. There ia an absence of the en
thusiasm and excitement which pervades the
population of the Gate City — the Grifflnites
pursuing their avocations with less rush and contu-
sion than the Atlanters, yet perhaps as successfully.

The Valdosta Times says so far as we can learn the
crops in this county stand In about the condition it
did two weeks ago. In some sections they have been
considerably damaged by the rain, while in others
hardly enough rain has fallen. Upon an average the
crops generally are in a fair condition. No caterpillar
yet.
Elberton bas had tbe prevailing collage commence-
not disposed to make any discrimination he- j
tween hit fine and clean cotton and the cot
ton of the careless planter, which might be
fall of motes and sand. In truth, we were
laughed at by a friend for taking so much
pains with our cotton. He stated that he had
long since been cured of all such foolishness.
That he now made it a practice to remove his
mole board entirely from his gin and allow all
the sand and motes to go into his lint ram.
That he sold on a rising market and fonnd
that “ cotton was cotton,” and what little he
might lose in price he gained in weight.
We had another friend to remonstrate with
m in the same way, stating that on one occa
sion his plantation had been visited by a
storm, which had blown nearly his entire crop
in tnc sand. That he picked it up and
ginned it and sold the crop for more then he
could have gotten far a clean crop, as he sold
about five thousand pounds of his sand for
fifteen cents per pound. Last winter we saw
a crop lot of cotton sold, and among the lot
were several hales of very fine cotton and
others that were dirty aad inferior, yet the in
ferior cotton brought within one cent of the
beet. It looks very unreasonable that buyers
should make so little discrimination, but tbe
fact is so, and until a change is made in this
particular, and cotton is classed as clean cot
ton and dirty cotton, planters will not trouble
themselves with anything bnt quantity.

Three Lucky German*.
THEY DRAW THK $100,000 PRIZE IN THE LOTTERY.
From the Louisville Coureir-Journal, which was re
ceived by yesterday’s mail, we see a long account of
the good fortune of the lucky holders of ticket No.
20,893, which drew the capital prize of $100,000 in the
great Louisville lottery of Tuesday.
The ticket was held by three men, all Germans.
The paper gives a full account of how they came to
possess the ticket, a minute history of the men and
its effect, etc.
There is a German by the name of Baas, on Jeffer
son street, in Louisville, who is the proprietor of a
wholesale liquor store, on rather an unpretentious
scale. He had two friends, whoso names we cannot
now recollect, both Germans. One of them was a
saloon keeper, and the other a blacksmith. It appears
that some time in the spring, before tbe first drawing
was advertised to take place, and which was post
poned till last Tuesday, Mr. Baas (pronounced Boos)
and his two friends were in his establishment drink
ing beer, and among other subjects of conversation,
the lottery was spoken of. Mr. Baas remarked to his
fiienda that he had dreamed a night or two before,
that a certain number wonld draw the capital prize,
and proposed that they should all club in and buy that
ticket. This suggestion was agreed to, he buying
three quarters himself and the others going halves in
tho remaining fourth.
Tbe next day Bess went to an agency and purchased
the ticket, paid for it, and carried it home aud put it
away in a bureau drawer.
The drawing aa advertised for April waa postponed,
end Mr. Bess and hia friends had forgotten their tick
et. A day or two after the drawing hia wife was look
ing through the drawer, and came upon a ticket, and
opening it, procured a list of the drawing and com
pared it with the numbers on the ticket. She saw that
it corresponded with the lncky figures which had
drawn the prize, but as her husband was absent from
the city, she said nothing, bnt awaited bis return.
On his arrival, she told him of her dtecovery, and
produced the ticket and printed Hate of prizes. Mr.
Baas ia a moment saw that he had won, and at ouce
sent for Ms two friends and broke the good news to
them.
Tbe Conier-Journal says that each of the lucky
men are considered honorable, upright citizens, and
the excitement which ti created when it became known
thst they had the fortunate ticket rau very high. They
were at once transformed into “lions,” aad attracted
tho gaze and curiosity of everybody.
Mr. Baas will increaso his business extensively,
while the saloon keeper will go higher and the poor
blacksmith is supremely happy at this good stroke of
fortune.
They are each making preparations to visit the
“F*!t*erlan1” and the “old folk* at home,*’ and will
bring out to this couutry their remaining kindred.
Tbe Courier-Journal modestly suggests to theae
gentlemen that ti would be real nice if they would
just till one room of the Library Building with books
of their osa selections, and let it remain as a mon
ument to their memories and llt>erality.
