| ProprirUu Herald:
Dear Si os—President Wadley offers to let us ha
an engine for two lhoucand dollars for the month of
AQgnst.
You know the importance to the Atlanta pap.
keeping up our present mail arrangements for the
Macou Road and Southwestern, Ga., as our circulation
in that dir ection is very large and rapidly increasing.
W»* think both papers might afford to pay the above
sum, but one could not. Shall we nnite and do it!
Wi* arc looking at the matter simply from the stand
ee ut of vital importance to the interest of Atlanta
newspapers. Most respectfully,
W. A. Hemphill & Co.
Considering that Jwe had previously announced our
purpose to put on a special train on every road
which could not tend the Hebaij) to Its destination at
a proper time, and that as soon as wa heard that a
change would take plaoe on the Macon and Western
Railroad, we addressed President Wadley a letter re
questing him to charter u* an engine, we cannot un
derstand in what way we have interfered with your ar
rangement.
Concerning your lotter of yesterday, we would state
that it was not received by any proprietor of the
Herald until after 8 o’clock, and waa never seen by
Col. B. A. Alston until to-day, and not until we had
notified Col. Foreacre that Hie Herald Publishing
Company would take the engine. This we did with
out any reference to the Constitution, at the same
time it being our purpose to extend to you, if you so
desired it, the benefits of the special train.
We do not deem it necessary to reply to that part of
your letter that refers to our motives in sending a spe*
dal engine on the W'est Point Railroad.
We have jast returned from Col. Foreacre, who in
forms us that np to the present timo only one engine
has been engaged by any Atlanta paper, and that by
the Herald Publishing Company, and that he looks
solely to tho Herald Publishing Company for the full
payment for this engine.
We now propose, in all kindness, to carry the Con
stitution mails for one thousand dollars per month on
this engine, and allow you the right to send your own
agent with the mail.
We ask for a square acceptance or rejection of this
proposition, the details of which can be arranged in
person.
We intend to stand to our contract with Col. Foreacte
at all hazards.
Yours, very respectfully,
Alex. 8t. Clair-Ajuums,
H. W, Grady,
R. A. Alston.
Atlanta, Ga., August 1, 1873.
Herald Publishing Company :
Dear 8irs—We do not deem auy reply to your last
mecessary. If you saw proper not to accept our prop*
osidon, but enter into a separate arrangement, you
had a perfect right to do so.
Nothing whatever that we can see prevented your
immediate acceptance of our proposition. As yon de
clined, however, we shall proceed on our own ached-
Io. We have an engine at our service.
But to assure you still further of our kindly motives
in this entire matter, we now propose to drop every,
thing ont of view that lias transpired up to the pres
ent time, and that we together make mutual applica
tion and arrangement for an engine, each party obli
gating himself to pay liis part; of the cost— two thou
sand dollars.
If this correvpondence is made public, of course it
will be given entire—with this final note included.
Yours respectfully,
W. A. Hemphill, ’
E Y. Clarke.
Office Herald Publishing Company.
Atlanta, Ga., August 1, 1873.
.Messrs. W, A. Hemphill and E. Y. Clarke :
Gentlemen.—Yours of tonight is at hand. Our
contract with the Railroad Company has already been
closed, and we do not wish to depart from our invaria
ble custom of adhering to contracts once made.
It does seem to ns that if, as you stated in your first
letter, "both papers might afford to pay the above
sum, but one could not,” the question of prece
dence would hardly prevent your accepting our offer.
Had you chartered an engine before *e did, we
anould certainly have availed ourselves of it, not
cariDg to quibble over a question of precedence, but
rclyiDg upon the merit of the Herald as a newspaper
for any good that might follow the enterprise—especi
ally when our paper would reach its destination with
youra.
In view of the fact that the Herald Publishing
Company has already chartered an CDginc, we cannot
see how we can now nuke mutual application for
what we have already obtained. But to show you
that we act in good faith in this matter, we herewith
repeat onr willingness to carry your mail on our en
gine—you agreeing to pay $1000 per month for it. and
we will further obligate ourselves to give you right of
carrying said mail as loDg as we hold the engine or
until we mutually agree t? discontinue it.
We are gentlemen, yours, very.truly,
Alex. St. Clatr-Adrams,

These reflections were superinduced wbile listlessly
seated in the conrt room window and looking ovei the
docket for the morning’s term, and seeing tho names
of several old beats, while on the opposite side of the
hall sat our old friend, Dan. Shehane, cool, calculating,
and severely sober. This contrast was indeed pleasing
and calculated to carry joy to the heart of the chroni
cler of these brief chapters, because Intemperance, in
any form, finds no apologist in him. Especially, etc.
Dan ba3 been making a noble figbt against the mon
ster sin of intemperance, and has vanquished him. He
is a hero, staunch and brave, and has at last put be
neath his feet bis old insatiate foe. Bully for Dan !
Bnt then there is still work for the philanthropist
and about that time "Old Philanthropy” himself came
in, and, as quick as he saw Dan, he began whetting his
beaks for a fat slice out of that individual, and when
looking over the docket, did not see his name, he
smolc a lovely smile at Daniel, kissed his hand, and,
taking the end of bis golden spectacle frame, made
several "gouges” in his left auricular, to improve
his hearing, and called for the first case, which was
William Lewis, who had been rather lewis in his mor
als and failing to abate a nuisance, and causing some
other troubles. It was hard on William, but justice
knows no difference, and he paid for his inattention
and departed.
Amos Crockett, like his illustrious namesake, Davy,
was fond of the boys, fun ant* liquor. He was solicit
ed by a crowd to treat, and to prove that ho was not
drunk (no one had up to that time accused him of It),
he took four pieces of watermelon and placed them at
the four corners of a cross street, and then viewing
the crowd to s^e what effect it would have upon them,
he tarned and gazed up at the city clock on the Capi
tol. This last performance made him so dizzy that he
reeled and fell into the hands of the law, and was
bronght forth to tho sacrifice on the altar of outraged
decency. The Court took compassion on Amos, and
let him off free.
Mr. F. Tucker, supposed tube the father-in-law of
old "Den,” on his mother’s side, came in on tho early
train with one of the excursion parties, bnt he "came
too late to get lbs sapper,” and endeavored to supply
the vacuum with drink. It flew to his head, and his
head flew into court, and tlis Judge flew into his pock
et book, and as a natural consequence, everything
about him acting on the high-flying principle, a few of
his green-backs took wings and flew into the city treas
ury. This was a flying time for "Tuck,” and so im
pressed him that he remarked as ha gazs.l around—
The rivers flow.
The breezes blow,
The flowers grow,
The sunsets glow-
But why, I truly do not know.
Onr debts we owe,
And there is snow.
And herring’s roe,
And heavy dongh—
But why, 1 truly do not know.
We’ve grass to mow.
And rash to show,
At.d things to kuow,
And walks to go--
But why, 1 truly do not know.
We’ve many a foe.
And one big toe,
And its fel-foie.
And rows to hoe—
But why, I truly do not know.
Oh!
The irrepressible Fiunia Davis, she of the gorilla-
look and elephant-hide, of whom mention was made
on yesterday, and being locked up for being dis
orderly, employed her time in the prison by thinking
np old tilings, and looking over the list of her friends.
Of these latter she could not find one to pay her out,
and she soliloquised —
"O! when I think of what 1 am.
And what I usod to was,
I find I’ve tbrowed myself awuj
Without sufficient koz.”
But, as misery loves company, she thought of three
young gentlemen whom she saw eating watermelons
the day before she waa locked up, and while in
prison she had a warrant taken out, and all three were
up, charged with lueoltlug tho peerless Emma. In
this trial, she made a signal failure, and the young
gentlemen were discharged, with tho expressed im
pression on their minds that some way ought to be
provided by which seoh chai actors as she Is could not
have respectable young men arrested for a supposed
insult to her darkness.

Can’t Understand It.—It is a little surprising tha t
some people keep so far behind the times. For in
stance, the LaGrange Reporter, like a great many
other clever papers, can’t understand that " special
train" business yet, and Waterman ia scratching his
bead, and poring over the affair until this day. If h
can’t solve it by the next issue day of hia paper, and
is compelled to "give it up.” we will enlighten him
with another conundrum which perhaps will occupy
the balance of the season of his (time in figuring out.
We will relieve him of one doubt, however, by stating
that the Herald Publishing Company did not "fknow
that the schedule would be changed in a few days,
aud started the " special” with the determination to
run it until the schedule was changed to suit us.
From West Point.
DEATH OF ROBERT W. DUKES.
From passengers over the road yesterday, we learn
that Mr. R. W. Dukes, of West Point, died in that
place yesterday morning. It appears that two days
ago ho went with the Cornet Band some miles in the
country, to attend a picnic, and on their return he was
attacked with spasms, which grew on him, until tho
fatal termination of yesterday. He remained speech
less from the first attack.
That Strike.—We learn that the contemplated
strike on the Macon and Western Road by the firemen
and wood passers, have been abandoned, a number of
the malcontents believing that “a bitd in hand is
worth two in the bush”—to such an extent aa to canse
this chango In the programme.
A Flood of Visitors —No leu than three different
excursion parties were in tho city yesterday—one
from up the State Road, one from the Air-Line, and
the last a colored party from somewhere on the Geor
gia Road. The city was full of people, but everything
waa quiet and orderly. The Museum did a rptnking
business, and tho melon men were busy. These ex-
cursiosB are always pleasant and profitable.
Moonlight and Ponce dk Leon.—Now that we
are having such charming moonlight nights, would it
not be most agreeable to have another plo-nic at Ponco
do Iajou ? The one had there during the last moon
was altogether lovely and pleasant. We believe that
the married people lay claim to this invention, and as
they succeeded so well beforo, they might have an
other.
Benjamin L. Brisbane, L.L.D., appeals, through the
Boston ChrUtish Era, to the Northern people for aid
in establishing a paper and developing a school system
in South Corollas. In that appeal ho uys: "She
does not know that there are a Christian people up
here. She judges them, and she haa a right to judge
them, by the unprincipled men who have gone from
here to rnlo her.” For an "original abolltioniat” this
is pretty plain talk.
And Still They Come.--And now comes our young
and excellent city farming frieud, C. B. Mitchell, and
•tartlet tha repoiter by a sudden and unexpected ex
hibition of a mammoth potato*, grown in the city.
This specimen does very well for a city, but Clayton
county is still a little ahead—a little ahead, gentlemen.
