It private, and published through ence. a marked inad veri er paper, published his card there and charg ed us with refusing to open our columns to him. As an evidence that we are always ready to publish the statements of any person assailed in the Herald, we give Marshal Thomas’ card this morning, and exercise our right to criti cise it Opening with denouncing our inter views with Lieutenant Bomar and Alderman Young as being “crowded” with falsehoods, it does not disprove a single statement made by those gentlemen. On the contrary, some parts of the card are an open confession of the truth of Lieut Bomar’s charge. In the statement given by Marshal Thomas in the Herald of Friday, he say3 that Mr, Mecaslin first wrote him a letter, and that the Polico Committee next sent him a peremptory order, but nowhere does he say that this “perempto- iy” order was of his own getting np, until Lieut. Bomar makes known the fact. Then, and not till then, does he admit it. Indeed, Marshal Thomas personally requested us to editorially state that we had seen the orders and were satisfied we had done him injustice. We declined to accede to hi9 request until we had made further investigations. These were made, and the facts developed as stated. In his second card Marshal Thomas repeats that he received a note from Alderman Me caslin, but he dodges the statement made by Lieutenant Bomar that this note was ob tained on representations made by him to the Alderman, who refused to sign the order. He nowhere denies that Alderman Mecaslin refused to sign that order which be got up himself. Why he wrote out the order himself was, he says, because he found he would have a collision with Lieutenant Bomar. Had Marshal Thomas been performing a duty be longing to him would there have been any danger of his subordinate refusing to obey him? Had he possessed the right of chang ing and locating the officers would Lieutenant Bomar have ventured to disobey him? And if he had disobeyed a proper order was it not an easy. matter to have preferred charges ag .inst him? Again, if “ repeated complaints from citi zens against the police for failure to attend to the duties they are required to do ” had been made, why docs not Marshal Thomas explain the i eason that no charges were formally pre ferred against the men. He is responsible for their good government, and in failing to investigate the complaints, preferring charges and having the offending men removed, he has been derelict in the discharge of his du ties. It may be that the^charge of politics having anything to do with the changes is false. We do insist, however, that the entire busi ness has a suspicious appearance. Marshal Thomas fays that he called three times at Alderman Langston’s store, but could not find him, and that he visited Alderman Mc Duffie’s office and could not find him either. Did, it never strike the Marshal that both are educated men, and that a written notifica tion would have informed them of the com mittee’s meeting ? It is really sad to think of all the trouble he took hunting np these gen tlemen and then not to find them! So far as his assertion is concerned that Alderman Young was “promptly invited,” we are authorized by that gentleman to say that he was nothing of the kind. No doubt Marshal Thomas is ready and willing to “dismiss the anbjoct for good,” but we are not He says that “the public is not interested.” We say that the public are interested. If it was what Mr. Thomas did nobody would be interested. But Marshal Thomas is a different personage entirely. He is an official, entrusted with formidable powers, and if he misuses them the poblic desire to know it If Marshal Thomas has been attempting to use the police force in the interest of certain candidates, even though such candidates were men of our choice, we would unhesitatingly condemn him and hold him unfit for any official place. We are not writing in the interest of any man or set of meu, but we aim to effect a re form that will place tbe police entirely out side of political influences and put an end to the disgraceful wire-pulling, intriguing and electioneering which nn witnessed every year in Atlanta.

James’ Certificates Work ing Like a Charm rum, and plenty of it,” was the truest of all the principles of th® Democracy, and that the next truest was that “every man had a right to wallop his own nigger.” We are somewhat inclined to the opinion that the resolution on bolting must be placed in the same category with these suppositions “true principles.” i But to the point. Having defined our position and our an i> j ty to see a ticket nominated that every Dem- j ocrat can cheerfully support, we now advise j EVER^ the Democrats of Atlanta to make a change in the manner of nominating candidates. The time selected by some of the wards for nominating is too far off from the day of elec tion. We know it is claimed that all the wards have been thoroughly “canvassed;” but have they been canvassed by the men best able to govern the city? Have such men as Col. R. F. Maddox, Capt. JohnKeely, Maj. A. Leyden, R. U. Young and twenty others we could name, really left their business more than two months ago to solicit the support of the voters? We know they have not. It is not venturing too much td say that most of the canvassing has been done by the profes sional politician, and if these are to be the nominees we want none of them. We advise against any nominations on the 11th of October, because the time is too far from the day of election. We also advise that instead of each ward nominating its candidates for aldermen, a City Convention be called to select an entire ticket. If this is done harmony and unity in the party will be preserved and a good set of men selected. Delegates can be chosen from each ward, and the Convention can be held say in the third week of November, which will give ample time for a full canvass. Nobody can object to this proposition ex cept the ward politicians, and their wire pullers. It is the only method of obtaining I Altogether tho situation is v*ry bright and we may a full and fair expression of opinion from the 1 expect a tremendous trado this week. The city was lively yesterday, with the resumption of trade, and everything wore the usual Atlanta aspect: bustling, hopeful, bouyant! Early in the morning it became known that the banks wore again in a condition to accommodate the business public, and that every cotton buyer bad plenty of money to more tbe cotton with. The staple had a bouyant tendency all day and as cotton rose, men’s laces grew brighter, and trade grew brisker. JAMES’ LOAN CERTIFICATES. The plan of issuing loan certificates, adopted by Mr. James, worked like a charm. Early on Monday morn ing his depositors sought his paying teller's desk and checked out the bright and crisp certificates. They were taken readily by the merchants, and no difficulty was experienced in buying anything with them that the holders desired. Iu one case that we happen to know of, $ 70 was drawn by a depositor, and it paid five debts before we lost sight of it. Mr. James only intends to issue $12,000 or $15,0CO of these certificates, and authorizes us to say that where parties who have any amount of them desire it, they can by bringing them to the bank and depositing them draw interest upon them. The merchants with out exception, we believe, take them readily for debts or goods. people of the entire city. It is also the only plan that can silence discontent and unite the Democrats. We urge it because it is fair and because we know that there is widespread J dissatisfaction with the manner in which mu- I nicipal nominations are now made. Men i who were last year the strongest advocates of i Personal. Vanderbilt takes life easy. Now is a splendid time to advertise. Bret Harte is in the sere and yellow leaf of his career.

Let Democrats of all shades and classes thoughtfully consider the situation of the city, and the necessity for our electing men who can govern us wisely and economically. Wo care not who the men may be—whether mer chants or mechanics or professional men—so that they be honest men and capable—men who understand that economy means the keeping of our expenditures within our in come, and who de not seek office for the sake of its jobs and its patronage—we will support them most heartily. Such men we feel san guine will be nominated if our suggestion is acted upon, and we submit it to the Democra cy of the city for their consideration. THE ATLANTA PAPER MILLS. We copy from the Tuscaloosa (Ala.) Times the following article, which we most heartily endorse. For the past eight months the Her ald has been printed exclusively on the pa per of the mills referred to, and it has given us complete fatisfaction. We regard the pa per as the best manufactured at the South: A firs! rat® article of paper upon which to print • newspaper is very desirable to have, but, as we have found by experience, quite hard to get. We have pret ty well run tbe round of tbe paper mills in the South, and after a fair trial of the manufacture of each, we are disposed to give the preference, by a good deal, to the paper produced at tbe Atlanta Mills. It is clear of substantial fabric, and receives and retains the im pression of the types with remarkable distinctness. The present issue of our paper Is printed on this pa- Mr. Loftia, of Sheltonville, complains to us that when his Herald—on which be dotes —gets to him, it is torn open and nearly worn out, by aUndestine bands that have thumbed it for hungry eyes.

To Messrs. !/. B. Clafflin and Charles L. Anthony: Gentlemen*—In response to the Dews you have com municated to me touching the present stringency in the money market of the country, and the necessary steps to restore confidence and legitimate trade and commerce, I hwe the honor to comnmnicite the fol lowing: The Government is desirous of doing all in its pow - er to relieve the present unsettled condition of busi ness affairs, which is holding hack the immense re- SDUrces of the country, now awaiting transportation to tho seaboard and a market. Confidence on the[ part of the people is the first thing needed to relieve this condition and to avert the threatened de struction of business, with its accompanying disasters to all classes of the people To re-establish this feeling, tbe government is willing to take all legal measures in its command, but it is evident that no government efforts will avail without the active co operation of the banks and moneyed corporations of the country. With the fourteen millions of dollars already paid out in tbe purchase of the government indebtedness, and the withdrawal of their large de posits from the treasury, the banks are now strong enough to adopt a liberal policy on their part, and by a generous system of discounts to sustain the busi ness interests of the country. Should such a course be pursued the forty-four millions of reserve will be considered as money in the treasury to meet the de mands of the public necessities as the circumstances of the country may require. Close atteution will be given to the course pursued by those who have the means at the.r command of rendering all the aid necessary to re»tore trade to its proper channels and condition. With a view of strengthening the hands of those who carry out tho measures above in dicated orders have already been issued for the pre payment of the interest accruing in November. C. 8. Grant. United States coupons maturing November 1st will be paid on and after Monday, September 23th, upon a rebate of interest at the rate of three per cent, per annum. The banks held a meeting to-night and con firmed the action of last night. A committee of six were apnointed who will certify to the checks of each. The banks holding aloof are the Bank of Washing ton, Bank of the Republic and the Farmers' and Mechanics’. Georgetown & Bigg®, members of the combination, are confident that the above banks will be forced into a compromise before Monday night. New York, September 29, 1873. According te the resolutions of the stock board, no member is absolved from the rules. Members who were solvent at the close of the board failing to com ply with contracts then existing, shall be declared insolvent. Contracts shall be settled by certified checks through cleating houses. No demand for greenbacks or currency shall be al lowed. The November interest on disbursement, which commences to-day, amounts to nearly $13,000,000, most of which is held abroad. New York, September 28,1873. The amount of money w’hlch will be brought into market by the action of the Secretary of the Treasury, in paying interest on coupon bonds, is estimated at $10,000,000, but as most of these bonds are held in Europe, the relief from them will not be felt for some The amount which will result from the payment of interest’on registered bonds will be about $4,000,000. Kegisteied bonds are nearly all held in this country. The president of the First National Bank here urges the immediate resumption of apecie payment, on the ground that such action will immediately add $80,000,000 of positvie relief to the currency lof the country. Gold closed at 12 1 ,'. The governing committee of the Stock Exchange met again at three o’clock this evening and it was decided that on the resumption of business to-morrow a committee® be appointed to whom all claims be referred, and sales under the rule if necessary will be made privately instead of publicly, but three days grace be granted before the cases go into the hands of the committee. Glenham & Co, GO years eld, extensive woolen mills, suspended. Wall and Broad streets are comparatively quiet to day. There are the usual gatherings of outside deal ers in stocks on tne walks and in the street, and some few sales have been made; no excitement, however. Regular brokers have been arranging thoir affairs at tbeir offices, preparatory for to-morrow’s opening at the stock exchange. The feeling generally is hope ful. It is anticipated, however, that there may be quite a number of small firms who will be unable to meet their obligations, even under the rules adopted by the governing committee to-day, and doubJnas several, within the next three days, will be sold out under the rule*. There is, however, no panicky feeling, and there seems to be a general disposition to make all settle ments as easy as possible under the circumstances. Money oould be obtained this afternoon on stocks at 7 per cent, per annum. The highest rate paid was per cent, per day premium. Exchange quiet at 5>£ for prime nanker’s bills for sixty days; six and a half for short sight. 8)me ealos were as low as 4* 4 to 5 ; com mercial bills 3 and some lower. Cable transfers 7 to 71' this evening, and there was more activity, an im provement consequent on the anticipated action ot the banks with a view to buying sterling. This action was as follows: At a meeting this evening of the clearing house as sociation, Messrs. Dowesand Humphreys, in behalf of tho produce exchange, made the following proposi tion: That the clearing house association appoint a commitieo of five, representing as many different banks, to buy commercial bills, with bills of lading attached, and make a requisition on the loan committee lor the Issue of clearing house certifi cates for the benefit ot shippers. The proposition was referred to the loan committee which will proba bly report to-morrow. Money closed to-day at seven. Charleston, Septem her 29. 1873. At s meeting of the Chamber of Commerce this morning, which included the largest assemblage of bankers and business men that hat met in Charleston for many years, the following was unani mously adopted as an indication of a policy thought most likely to facilitate the movement of Southern produce to mar ket, to enable Southern debtors to settle promptly with tbeir Northern creditors, thus relieving tbe money pressure around: Resolved, that the President be instructed to prepare a memorial to the Pres ident of the United States and the Secretary of Philadelphia, September 29, 1873. The bank presidents and stock brokers say they will do nothing to cause tbe decline of securities at the Stock Board. The bondholders are caring for them selves. Meanwhile the products of the country are not at the depots.

He had choked his wife to death by cramming his hand in her mouth and his finger down her throat, and with the other hand holding her nose tightly so that she could not breathe.

For more than five years his daily position was at a particu lar part of the railing, against the pickets of which he leaned, and looked mournfully at the clock.
