TO ADVERTISERS. the atlantjTdaily herald rthtfiiflilfr JJPtEST CIRCULATION " OF ANY PaSeR PUBLISHED INTHIS SECTION OF 8E0R0IA. The Herald Special Mail Train for the Atlanta and Went Point Railroad will leave Atlanta at 4:10 A.M. and return to Atlanta at 5:40 P.M., Daily, until far ther Notice. AS IMPOSTER EXPOSED. We are informed that an individual named Wm. Wilson, a printer formerly residing in this city, has recently been in Chattanooga and is now in Kashville, informing people that he was cno of the proprietors of the At lanta Herald, and that be sold oat his inter est because he wai unfairly treated by his “partners." We also learn that he has been and still is indulging abuse of the proprietors of the Herald. It is proper to state that this man never owned one piece of type in the Hebald establishment and never had any connection with this paper. He was employ ed in onr job office for several months, and was dismissed because we discovered that he was dishonest and was systematically swin dling ns. SOMETHING WORTH NOTICING. Onr city cotemporary a«ks his readers to “take notice" that he prints the latest tele graphic markets. Well, considering that we print the identical market reports, we cannot find any point in it. Onr cotemporary, however, will scarcely venture to ask them to “take notice” of how badly the Hebald of yesterday, sent down the West Point road, beat him in ntics as well as enterprise. We propose to direct their attention to the matter. The-Hebald beat them yesterday in their West Point mail as follows: In telegraphic news—About the Italian Boy Stealers; Fire in Ohio; Murder in Penn sylvania; Catholic Consistory; Francis Jo- seph's-proposed'visit to St. Petersburg; Hom icide at Kingston; the Steamer Virginias Question; Latest abont the Waddell-Phillips affair; the Debate in the French Assembly; rumored reappearance of Cholera in Nashville; in short, we beat the Broad-Strest-Five-Thou- sand-Dollar-Depositor by abont one-half the telegraphic news. In the local column, onr West Point Bail- road subscribers read in the Hebald of the burglary on Dr. Wilson; of Society News; of the forthcoming theatrical season; of Em ory College Commencement; of the proceed ings in the Police and Jnstices’ Courts; of the pardon of a Convict; of the case before the United States Commissioner, of the fi. fa. issued against Foster Blodgett’s^ se curities ; in fine, they read all the local news, while the subscribers of our cotemporary got only Col. Halbert’s letter. It 4 rather unkind in us to show how four filths of the news which we gave to onr subscribers was not given to the subscribers of onr neigh bor; because everybody knows that the Hebald daily pnblishes more news than it does. However, since it colls upon its read ers to “take notice,” we feel anxious to have them “take notice” of something really worth noticing. THE CHOLERA. Wheeling, July 24, 1873. One case of cholera baa occurred at this place. Cosnrxx, III., July 24,1873. Thera are two caaea of cholera here. PniHcrrros, Ind., July 24, 1873. The cholera ia subsiding.

The in. novation was condemned strongly and a committee appointed to mec-t Commissioner Douglass, in Wash' ington. The Goss Murder Mystery—Investigation by the Coroner. Philadelphia. July 24, 1873. The evening telegraphic dispatches from West chester reports that the Coroner of Chester county yesterday visited Athensville and Crynmawr, for the purpose cf investigating the Goss murder case, and ascertained many particulars of Goss, alias Wilson, while residing in those places, and be has arrived at following conclusions: It now appears from the evidence thus far ob tained that Badersook left Baltimore with fifteen hun dred dollars, and was to meet Goss or Wilson in Philadelphia and give him money and see him on board a steamer for some European port, but rather than part with the fnnds he takes him to the country and murders him, pockets the money, and returns to Baltimore. THE TURF. The Saratoga Lacing Course. SaraiOga, July 24. 1873. The meeting of the Saratoga Racing Association was inaugurated to-day with splendid weather and an ex cellent track. The first race—for traders’ stakes, of one and three- quarter miles, for three year olds—was the great event of the day, and created intense excitement There were seventy-nine nominations, of which the following started : Murdock, Count D’Orsay, Spring- book, Tom Bowling, Fellowcralt, McCormick, Waverly, and Free Lance. Count Dorsay did not getaway when the flag fell, and was out of the race from thi start Bowling won. Springbook, wbo ran lappiDg him for the greater part of the race, at the furlong pole, on the home stretch, threw bis rHlee—ttens 3095^. After the race a claim of foul riding was made against Tom Bowling. The jockey asserted that he rode over Springbook, cutting his left fore leg. The judges^ after a prolonged consultation, decided against the appeal, and gave the race to Bowling, with Waverly two, Mur doc third. The injury to Springbock is slight. The second race was for a sweepstakes for all ages, $50entrance. pUjor pa* with $800 added; one mil. . , nd wilI nfott ^ Iutaro mMt ing. and a quarter.

TRAIN LAST.” “THAT CAK’T I A city contemporary, in a miserable little lling—teeming with envy and spite—noticed elsewhere in the.HEnaLD, asserts that the Heb ald will break down in its special mail train project, assuming, ungrammatically as well as maliciously, “that it can’t keep running !’ This is not the first time that this same paper has taken occasion to comment upon the mutability of tbiDgs pertaining to the Hebald; and we had hoped that the long aeries of falsifications given to their croaking prophecies wonld “have, ere this, cored them of sucking eggs.” It seems, though, that, with a perseverance worthy of a better cause, they persist in their unmanly and fool ish coarse. Now, in regard to onr special mail train, we have to say for once and for all. to friends and enemies, that the chartering of that train was a well considered, carefully de bated project, and beyond perchance or per adventure, it icill make a regular trip every morning, carrying The Daily Hebald mails, until the schedule is so changed that u>e can sat isfaclorily carry our mails on the regular train even if this should It ten years off. The change of forty minutes in the present schedule would grire us all the time we want—enabling na to get in onr midnight dispatches, which do not now arrive until the train haagone; and it is hoped and believed that, when the Directors of the At lanta and West Point K ailrosd see the deter- mined and bold step taken by the Hebald, they will at onoe yield to the suggestions of this energy and enterprise, and give ns the desired change. If not, the Herald's special train will be like Tennyson’s brook—“ men may come, and men may go, but it will run on forever.” We will farther say that the proprietors the Hebald have determined that the capric ious fluctuations of railroad schedules shall instance with the prompt ry^f this paper- A nd th ®y hereb T » n that when the seh«*almoa any road leading ont of Atlanta becomes so shortened thst we cannot properly deliver onr papers the regular trains, we shall at onoe pnt on special train, and run it, as we will do in this ease, tilf the schedule is adjusted to suit our purp oses. It may not he amiss, in Ibis connection, state to our cotemporary, wbo takes such melancholy interest in our affairs, that we propose to make the Hebald a first—class newspaper in every respect aa feat as the several needed development# can be made. If it in tends to seriously attempt a rivalship with us, it should at once quit its foolishness and get down to solid work. A commendable initia tory step wonld be to eall in some of its nu merous “five thousand dollars deposits, and devote at least part of this fand to the chapter ing • of a train, to supply its baaigkted nnb. scribers along tlis West Point road with a fresh and readable paper. We don’t charge anything for this advice. CODE DUELLO. The Waddell-Phillips Affair Adjusted—No Blood. SPECIAL TO THE HERALD. Columbus, Ga., July 24, 1873. Privato dispatches state that the duelists are returning from Florida by the np-boat. No shots were exchanged. The adjustment was effected in Florida.

Notwithstanding the legal proceedings by the butch- •a. poultrymen and lruitmeu to avert the demolition of their stalls and booths outside of Washington Mar ket, tbe work of destruction was renewed as early as clock, this morning in the presence of a large num ber of police and about 2,000 spectators. Tbe Board of Health had secured the services of 150 special men, and at 8 o'clock hardly a booth was left standing. The owners of booths showed no fight whatever, and the removal of the debris is being continued in a peaceable manner. Mr. Lees, of Lees A: Waller, is dead. Legal questions in regard to the removal of booths around Washington Market, will be argued before tha Supreme Court on Tuesday. Tbe Government sold one million In gold at 15:45a 15:51. A collision took place last night at an up-town gar den known as Leon Park, where a military organiza tion. known as the Knights of Columbia, were holding a picnic. When the programme of dancing was ex hausted the band hired for the occasion refused to play more without further pay. Tbe picnickers insisted on compelling tbem to play. An angry altercation ensued, and Captain McDonald and tbe police interfered to preserve order, and were assailed by the Knights with clubbed muskets, and tbe latter used clubs. Five of the Knights were scalp-wonnded, and taken to the station. Captain McDonald received sorious wounds on the leg. The fight was renewed on the cats, and one rioter who attempted to f-tab nn officer with a bayonet was arrested. New Yobx, July 24, 1873.

At the lUc-fic Mail Company’s meeting to-day, 1***1 advise was taken as to the right of tbo company to issne bonds. It was tbe opinion of eminent counsel that under their charter and the Revised Statutes, the com pany has full power to issue bonds for completing con tracts that might be necessary hereafter to them as a business company. Measures* were taken to raise money for current expenses. The negotiations for tbe California loan have been abandoned. President Bradbury was appointed special committee as to the mode and amount of bonds FAIR AT POWDER 8PRIN68! | A Young Lady Accidentally Steps upon the Corpse of FIFTEEN HUNDRED PEOPLE PRESENT!

The South Carolina Ku-Klux and the .\ttor- ney General. Washington, July 24, 1873. A delegation of prominent officials from South Car olina, consisting of Hon. W. D. Forter, General J. B. Kershaw, 11. M. Sims and S. A. Durham, accompanied by Assistant Secretary Sawyer, of the Treasury, waited upon Attorney General Williams this after noon. in a body, requesting that all the proceedings in that State in reference to the outrages of the ku- klux klan be suspended, and urging the pardon of those already confined in the Albany penitentiary. They represent that as an organization tko klan baa ceased to exist in the 8tate, and that a lenient policy on the part of the government will tend to restore peace and order. Attorney General Williams informed them that it wm the policy of the government to prosecute only agzravated cases, orders having al ready been given to that effect; and that as soon as the President was fully satisfied that peaceable citizens would be protected in their property and life, a general suspension of prosecution would be desira ble. He also informed the delegation that many Ku- Klux prisoners had been pardoned, and pardons would be issued to tbo others, the most aggravated cases being detained till tbe last.

A young lady of the party strayed away from her associates into the premises known as Kirby’s Farm. In retracing her course Bbe found it necessary to clamber a fence. This she achieved without difficulty, but was hor rified to find that she had stepped upon the corpse of an old man. A sharp, piercing scream brought some of the party to the place aad the care of the young lady, who had swooned at the horrible sight. The remains were those of an old man, and were in a state of decomposition. The de ceased had severed a jugular vein with a razor, found beside him, and, as if he had changed his mind, had tied a handkerchief above the wonnd in the arm, to stop the flow of blood. The party sent word to the police station fay Expressman Bradfeldt, and tho au thorities immediately dispatched a wagon and had the remains bronght to the morgue. The only disappearance recorded at the station was that of Gottfried Leibers, and as the clothing of the missing man correspond with that of the suicide, the family were sum moned to view the remains. The body was readily identified aa that of Leibers, and it will this forenoon be surrendered to the fam ily, as tbs evidence of suicide is so conclusive that an inquest will not be neces ary. Leibers had been a resident of this city for a number of years, and was about 65 yoara of age. The infirmities of age often subjected him to gloomy periods of dejection, and in one of these moods he wandered from home and ended his existence. He had been, miss ing since the 3d inst. EUROPE. Death of Baron Wolveiton. London, July 24, 1873. Baron Wolvertou died this morning. His eldest son, Hon.

A correspondent of tbe Times of India, writing from Akola, June 1st, says: “There was a very sad occurrence a few days back. The patei of a village, well known as a tiger shikaree, was aroused late at night by a tu mult in his cattle shed, and peeping through the crevices of a door, discovered master Stripes coolly walking off with a calf. The patei took up his gun and fired, wounding the tiger, who immediately dropped his prey and fled. The next day the patei, accompanied by his two brothers and a pardhi—the two first armed with a gun and sword, and the re maining three with swords only—went in search of the animal, who was easily followed, owing to tbe bloodstains on his track, the tiger was first Been by tbe patei lying ap parently helpless under a bush, when he incautiotuly rested his gun against the trunk of a tree, and approaching the tiger, pricked him with the point of his sword. On this he suddenly sprang up with a roar and struck the patei senseless. The two brothers then bravely attacked the tiger with their swords, but were both disposed of in the same manner. By this time tbe pardhi came np, and swathing his left arm in his dhotee, thrust it into the tiger’s mouth, and E roceeded to hack him with his sword; but y this time the tiger was quite spent and quietly fell back dead. By evening all three brothers died from the injuries received, leav ing their families almost wholly unprovided for. Within tho last two or three months no fewer than six or eight children are ascer tained to fcave been destroyed by wolves. These animals are getting so bold that in day light, and within sight of their mothers, they come and carry their infants away.” VIENNA LAGER BEER! ^N NEXT SATURDAY we will receive a car load of tbe Orescent Brewery Vienna Bser.

State Treasurer Cardoza, in an interview with a cor respondent of the Ifewe A Courier, published to-dey, gives a full statement of the condition of South Carolina. He says he hopes the suit of the tax-payers to havo seven million of conversion bonds declared void will succeed, and will give the movement whatever aid he can. He claims, also, to be the originator of the suit, inasmuch as it is founded almost wholly on the facts published by him last year, showing that at least six million dollsra’ worth of conversion bonds were issued without any authority of law. In explanation for the present empti >f the State Treasury, Cardoza said tbe appropriations for tbe year were $2,500,000, and the receipts of the year only $1,600,000; so the next fiscal year will begin With a deficit of at least $750,000.

Reports from Florida, Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina. Augusta. Ga., July 24, 1873. The latest reports from Florida state that the crops arc generally two weeks behind last season. Three weeks ago the heavy rains throughout the State caused the grass to spring np, but the planters were coming it, when the rain begain again last week, doing great damage. Caterpillars have made their ap, pearance throughout Middle and West Florida, but as yet has done little barm. The next two weeks will determine the extent of the injury from this source Experiments made with Paris green as a destroyer proved highly successful. The corn crop is reported good in Alabama. Cotton is looking better than it did four or five weeks ago, and if tbe worm does not interfere the crop will be larger than last year. Worms have made their appear ance much earlier than usual, and are reported on ev ery plantation. They have done little damage, and the mischief if any, will come from the third crop of worms, which is expected three weeks hence. The cotton crop is three weeks later than last year, and the indications are that the yield will not be ao great The corn crop is bad on low lands, in consequence of early heavy rains, which drowned out tbe grains. Up lands will produce an average crop. In Georgia the cotton reports are conflicting- Southwest Georgia gives an indication of good crops: weeds small, bnt healthy, and well suited. The crops are about as early in this section as last yesr. The Middle and Eastern Georgia crops are a good deal later, but are much better tbau some time since, and an average yield may be expected. Parts of Eastern Georgia have suffered severely from drought, but no general damage has been sustained. For tbe past few days heavy rains have been general through out the State, and still seem to prevail, whlcn may improve crops, though it is now impossi ble to say to what extent. The caterpillar scare is about over, and no serious damage is expected from this quarter. The corn crop is generally reported fine, and othor cereals turned out well. A good deal of cotton average baa been abandoned on account of the grass, but few reports are reported from South Carolina. Heavy and contlnuod rains In the early summer caused the abandonment of cotton lands, though not to any considerable eztent. Tne crops are backward bore as in Alabama, but tbe latt r accounts are more encoursging, and an average crop will per haps be made. The evidence goes to show that the captain the steamer City of Washington, wrecked no great distance from the point whore the steamer Atlantic foundered, was grossly, if not criminaly cstelees. He had taken no ■•shoaiag fw seven days, and Uffveh on through fog and darkness, with no positive assurance of his bearing, and not knowing when the ship struck, where she was. The Boston correspondent of the New York World says that two-thirds of the Boston del egates to the Republican State Convention will be for Butler. The Generol is improving. ENGLAND..

The Orangemen of Armagh made a demonstration yesterday in honor of the visit of a number of dele gates from tbe Canadian lodges. Fully 5,000 persons participated. No disorder. Gov. Lockalexis, of the Penobscot tribe of Indians in Maine, was married last week to Miss Maddin, daughter of Dr. Lockalexis Glossian, an Indian maiden of great beauty. The shah is considered by English republi cans to b* “the representative of all that de grades humanity," and consequently they condemned his late ecstatic reception in Eng land. An East Indian manlvi has been blown away from a gun in Kandahar for preaching a ihad against the emir of Kabul for having become a Christian. The royal emir has evi dently a deal of the fire of the faith in him. The shah offered £30,000 for three English ladies whom he saw and admired, but he did not get them. Mothers of marriageble daugh ters in England have evidently advanced their figures. Rev. Leonard H. Bushnell, a Methodist preacher at Lanesboro, Pennsylvania, was crushed to death the other day by a tree, which fell across his body while Ije was asleep the woods.

Tbo Fodcral District Court here haa pronounced an important decision favorable to the Importer* of merchandise from foreign countries, denying the right of the Government to collect the duty of a half cent per pound on goods imported into the Zona Li bra. This decision is based on the provUiona of the new tariff, and was made on tbe protest of tbe Mata- moraa merchants against the exactions of this duty by tbe custom# official# wbo hod perallied iu collecting It, although the former tariff under which it wae pre viously imposed bad been repealed.
