The Daily Herald R. A. ALSTON. H. W. GK4DT. L W. AVriiT. ALSTON Sc CO.. Proprietor*. THE NOMnAno.V IN THE FIFTH. By reference to onr special despatches from Griffin, it will be seen that the Hon. Milton A. Candler was nominated on the 8tith ballot. The nomination was made unanimous. This was very proper, and we promisa the Con vention that, in complimenting this end of the district with the candidate, that they will not be disappointed in getting oar unanimous support. Mr. Candler has been in public life for several years. He was elected to the Legislature doring the war. After the sur render he was sent as a delegate to the first Constitutional Convention. He was elected to the Senate in 1868, and served four years. In ail these positions Mr. Candler has served the State faithfully and ably, and we think be will briDg out tho whole strength at the Democra tic party. This end of the Distriot ought to give him, and will give him, at least three thousaud majority, and if the lower end will do its duty, his election by a large vote is oeriain. Let our people understand that independ ent candidates in this race are allies of the en emy; for no matter what may be their person al grievances, they should yield to the exigen cy that is upon us. Every vote cast for an independent candidate is a vote far Freeman. THE ATLANTA DAILY HERALD RHEUMATISM D OCTOR J. B. RUSSELL. who has for the rati eighteen months treated , VOL- Ill—NO. a.

It was composed mainly of Lis own recollections of various events of the scandal ; his own ns- sertion that Mr. aud Mrs. Tilton had m ule confession of adultery to him. but unsupport ed by any documents other than those which hesabreqaently submitted to the committed, and one other which has been described by Mr. Btechtr’s lawyer as manufactured. He simply corroborated Tiitou by bis own un supported word. When he prepared his btatc-ment Mr. Moulton denounced Mr. Beecher to the correspondent of t::e Chicago Tribune, who next telegraphed his statements to his paper where they were published on Monday August, 20th, the very day on which Mr. Moulton sutmitted his short state ment containing more •! th- gravest allusions, vjr. Kingsley Lad wrought this sudden change in Moulton s purpsoe, during the Sunday which intervened between bis talk with the Chicago Tribune correspondent and.liis iulor- mal talk with the com mi: tee. Mr. Kingsley met at Moulton’s house ou Sandiy ; August 9th, Mr. Moulton himself, his father, Frank lin Woodruff, and two or three other persons. Mr. Kings.cy communicated to the assembled mends of Moulton, that the latter's own safe ty was at stake. It was finally decided that Moulton should not attack B.ocher or con firm Tilton, further than by submission of the papers called for. General Butler read the long statement the same night, and advised its suppression for future use. As a conse quence of Kmgley’s informal »n, and General Butler’s advice, Mr. Moulton chauged his statement, but lorgot to alter Lis Chicago correspondent’s letter. Mr. Kingsley’s only suggestion of paving any money to Mr. Til- 1 tou was a remark made publicly by him in a restatement to effect that Tilton should not be in want for money, he could have 50,000 dollars if he needed it. The sub-committee, consisting of Messrs Sage, Winslow and Clevel ind. held a meeting for the purp Dee of cousuitation as to how their report should be drawn up. 11 was de cided that the committee prepare a dralt of a report, by Mr. Winslow, to bo submitted to the other two members of tho committee for revision. These in turn v% ill submit it to the original committee of six, which wilt in. k3 any alterations which should be necessary, and then hand it over to the examining com mittee of Plymouth church, wad will rep?rt at the succeeding Friday night business meeting of the church. New Yoke, August 19.—The mombars of the Plymouth investigating committee said yesterday their report would be in Beecher’s favor, but would not be pardzan. It is prob able, therefore, that, though tiia Plymouth pastor may be entirely exonerated irom the offence charged by Tilton, he will be censured in some delicate manner for his indiscrt tion in several points connected wi:h the case when the report is published. The mine* of several lady witnesses will be withheld,though ' their testimony will be given. It was oa thin condition of secrecy alone that they consent ed to give their testimony. A largo proportion of the members of Ply mouth church are exultant over Beecher’s ex pected viudicalion, and proposals have been made to increase his salary tun thousand dol lars and build him a new church. A- i> ;oh r has refused increased salary, the first plan will not bo carried out, but the latter may.

Ta give the ev idence as to at least all tbe essential points and to review the main points of the ca-e, with tbe committee’s arguments and conclu sion. The last plan has been adopted. It now tarns oat that all the rumors lat-Jy afloat of a compromise were based on an ef fort made by Mr. William Kingsley, & promi nent Brooklyn politician, to settle the matter and protect Moulton, who is associated with him in the Brooklyn Bridge Directory. Tilton •ays Kingsley offered him twenty thousand dollars to oompromise the caae. This off r was not made in Beecher's interest, nor that of any of his fritnds; but was purely in the interest of Moulton, and was made voluntari ly by Kfogsley, believing that they would all be involved in common ruin. A mem Ik r of tbe scandal committee said yesterday that Beecher’s blackmail ch..rge3 again-»t Moulton were made oqIj as Beecher’s counsel directed, they having t-xamiued tbe matter very carefully, and fonnd that the charges rested on a basis susceptible of cle&i- *at proof. Books of Moulton’s firm show en tries which go to prove the charges. The firm cannot deoy this. WHAT THH CLERGYMZ* THINK. Buffalo, N.

August 19.-In relation to the murder of B. H. Johnson and wile, at North Lexingtou, ou Sunday night, it appears that Johnson had not lived happily with his wife. Some months ago he left lor Kentucky, hut returned suddenly ou Sunday evening, accom panied by Lorenzo Johnson, a cousin, on© riding a fine hor.-e aud the other a mule, and stopped at the house. The mother of John son’s wile in tbe night heard pi-»tol shots in the room occupied by Johnson and his wife. Johnson was fonnd with a bullet bole in fiis head and bis skull broken, and his wife’s head had been mashed to a jtlly with un axe. A letter wes lonud on a table addressed to Lo renzo JoLn^ou aud signed by B. II. Johnson, in which ho says he commitu d the detd, and hid determined to do so before leaving Lex- i gton, on siccouat of his wife’s infidelity. i ;°c statement ia the letter is not believed, however, for tlieieason that Johnson could not write, and it is suspected that L. Johnson is the murderer, though tlitre is no positive evidence agains: him. Ho was subsequently arrested! for horse stealing and taken to Rich- mrnl, wh*»re it was feared he would be lynched. The verdict of tbe coroner’s jury, however, did not charge him with the mnr- d..r, and tho case is stili involved in mystery. WASHINGTON NOTES.

A number of in quiries were put to the child, but the an swers were so unsatisfactory that it was finally resolved to order a photograph to be taken of the child at Odell and sent here lor inspec tion by ihe father and mother, before taking any lurther stvps. The photograph cannot arrive here before to-morrow, it taken prompt ly on directions being sent. The parents Laving been so often exc ited by false hopes, have no expectations that this discovery will prove any better than those which have pre ceded it. THB ALLEGED KIDNAPPER. Lewis Duugau, the man arrested at Odell, Ilf., does belong in this city, and was formerly a driver and owner of an express wagon. He has telegraphed to fiiends here for credentials as to his chiradter. Dungan, some time ago, went on a visit to the Meat, liking with him his housekeeper, Mrs. Coles, and two children of James Henderson, now employed ou the stbamer Edwin Forrest. Mrs. Coles bears the relation of an aunt to the chil dren, one of whom is a girl named Alice and the other adittle boy named Jimmy, who was mistaken for the lost Charley Ross. Like nearly all children of his age ho wore a frock, and this may have been mistaken by the Western folks as evidence ot an attempt on the part of Mr. Dungan or Mrs. Coles to lr.de his sex.

Line, August 17, 1874, To the Editors of the Herald:— Being in the country there is nothing occur- ing to an occasional scribbler which interests the newspaper men and readers. Crops and politics are the topics of conversation with the farmer. As to the first, in most sections of our country are very promising. Above us in Hancock they are holding Thanksgiving meet ings to offer sincere thanks for the great blessing of comiug bounteous supplies, while for twenty miles arouad the slip of territory between Gum and Town creeks our yeomanry have had no “season” for two months. At noon, tbe leaf ot cotton drops like the sensi tive plant; the fodder on tho corn-stalk is burning; the colored voter is slow about gath ering it, but the ear is large even on “spind ling’* stalks, and we believe tho country men will haul but little sacked yellow grxin oyer the old red fiilis of Baldwin. To one living in a distant part of cur great rising State k >me views around here and near Milledgeville presents as grand and entertain ing a sight as some of the mountains oi Ten nessee. Politics iuterrst8 tbe planter in no small de gree, from their interest and acquiescence in Blount's nomination when Col. Lawson was the choice, shows that Blount need not fear. Baldwin cast her vote for Judge Floyd amidst applause; then for Col. L.; then she thought Blount was next best to these good lawyers (as the Union and Recorder calls them), but pow sbo thinks Col. Blount is tbe superla tively oest oi&u. Tbe Rads are troubled with dissension. Gove is unpopular. Jeff Long (dark) passed some resolutions m Macon recently commend- iug himself as a suitable man to reduce tbe expenses, taxes, etc., and for Congress; but wo learn a former good citizen ot Jasper county, Henry Glover, is preferred, and I .sup pose ho prefers himself. In this county, while they are very quiet, our obsjrvant friends think they are preparing for another “grand defeat” ne*t fall in the coquty and congressional race. An Indian pot. of the si/,? of a large boiling pot, was recent!e stepped upou by a mule plowing in an island field of Mrs. Jas. Whita ker, near tbe Oconee. Her sons presented it to our literary editor here, Col. Win* G. McAdoo, to be sent to the Smithsonian Insti tute, to aid in deciphering ths customs of our aborigines in this section. This field has been yielding cotton and corn for seventy years, mid sixteen years ago smaller pots wore frequently found. The top to this one was broken by the mule, but the bottom, which has no fogs, only cracked. Col. McKinly says it was a cremation pot. In this field aro two large, green mound-', seventy foet around and twenty feet high. In an adjoining field were two walls of old forts, now plowed nearly level. Col. McKiuly says the Indians were never known ii build forts. Tbe Hkuald is the paper here. I am glad to see it bus such a creditable fuibgcription, compatpd with dailits printed nearer. Mine is inquired for in tbe oountry. More anon. Yours, Occasional. Mr. Horaco Maynard whs luyiDg off for tho comity ejections in Tepnesqee to doteraiioe his choice of running for Governor, tor Fuited States Senator, or for re-election to the House. Now. he hasn’t even a sure thing in the Knoxville District. Tun number of lunatics in Paris baa been _ _ almost doubled since 1872, and the temper* custom obliged te kies -every Udy yon in me *ace folk persist in alluding to tbe fact as an Uf this number there are eight life members and one honorary member. He then stated the sum necessary to become an annu d and life member. He then called attention to the fact that the report ol the Finance Committee showed .only an income sufficient to defray current expenses, and that the main reliaucj was ou lectures, etc., from which they had re alized about $800 last year, which amount was appropriated to tbe purchase of books, etc. lie then appealed to tbe intelligent citi zens of Atlanta to support tbe association iu tbe lectures and entertiuuments ot the coming winter. He said there were many people wfio reminded him of tbe man who said “Poster ity had done nothing for him, aud conse quently lie did not intend to spend his ener gies for it.” But he was sure that no such spirit would meet his appeal. He concluded by calling upon all to help build up a library in this city that will cultivate a taste for read ing, and which fchall in future years confer pleasure upon those who are able to appre ciate its value. Miss Fannie Rich then read that beautiful ! but sad piece, “The Face Against the Fane,” in a manner that did credit to herstlf and brought tears to the eyes of many. Then followed a beautiful duet, “A Night in Venice,” by Mrs. Joseph Thompson and Mr.jVau Goidsnovten. This piece was so boi&- terously applauded that your reporter, from fear of losiug his life in the fall of the house, lelt tempted to leavo, but a noble feeling of duty made him stick. They were compelled to return to avoid such a catastrophe. Now we have the statement ot the finance committee, and we were glad to hear that tbe finances of tbe library were in such a healthy condition. This was no laborious wading through of figures ; but was more of a pungent piece of satire, and also compliments to the board of directors. But we must stop and listen to this beauti ful i Cavatina by Mrs. J. S. Robertson, which in vain we seek words that will carry a just impression of its beauty to those who were not so fortunate ns to hear it. Again the house shook with applause but suddenly ceases on account of again making her appearance. This time we bear the List liose oi Summer. May her roses bloom for ever. Now Mr. J. R. Scott reads us a piece enti tled, “How Fersiimnons Took Care of the Baby,” which was extremely ludicrous, and produoed bursts of unfeigned mirth from the audience. This ended th© entertainment which we think ought to be repeated aud 50 cts. admis sion charged, the proceeds to be devoted to tbe Library. It was surprising to see tbe immense numbers of bouquets that were showered ou to tbe stage. A California Indian Chief. —Manuel Lir- go, head chief of the Oafiuillas, who is at present in this city, i» an Indian of note. He is now between 65 and 70 years of age. His •ppearauce is striking; he has a commanding figure, and possesses an air of dignity which compels respeot. His face (iu all but color) bears a remarkable resemblance to that of the Emperor William, of Germany. Manuel Largo has been for mauy years at tbe head of his tribe, and auioug th m his will is law. He has considerable property; owns cattle, horses, etc., ami lives in a style quite befit ting bis rank. It is related ot him that in 1850 he hunted out a gang of desperadoes who then infested this section of tbe Stale, aud killed every oue of them—nineteen in all. He got the rascals into a narrow canon, from which there was no escape, and picked them off iu detail. Maniiol amt his chiefs are at present the guests ot the aotinty.—[Sun Diego Union, July 30.

The tacts forwarded to you in Die “special" were known to and circulated by nearly every white citizen iu Albany on Monday morning, and wero made known to me bj* several re sponsible parties on that day. I had as much right to these facts us the edilor of the News. All the facts wero sollected by me ami sketched for the Central City, of which I am the junior editor, betore the issue ot the News containing his account was published. On Thursday my sketch was revised and completed, with a copy of the News before me. In but oue particular was tho News consulted, an 1 that was iu regard to the language ot the negro, and then only to compare the two statements. There being no substantial dif ference, my report of the negro’s words were made to conform to that of the News, because it first publisfied it, and to preserve harmony in the report. Iu no other particular was there any copying done. I again asseit tbut not a single fact pub lished by me, iu the Central City, or in the Constitution, was copied from the News, but from responsible patties. Yours truly A. M. C. I!lssi.lt« A Model Farmlr.—Tbe Fre onia (N. Y.) Censor has this to say about a model farm near Montgomery, AkiDamu. lion. M. A. Chisolm invited us to visit bi s farm. A ride of two milts brought us to his plantation o! six hundred acres, which we found to be under as skillful cultivation os any at tho North. He raises seventy-five acres of corn, twenty-five of cotton, sixteen of German millet, which produces two and a half tons to the acre, and is capable ot two crops in the year, and miturcsin ten weeks; a few acres of clover, which he sowed by way of experiment, and has cut four crops in one year—a ton to each crop. He had harvested, May 23d, a crop of beaus, cabbages, potatoes and beets, and is putting iu other crops in their place. Iio has full sized cucumbers grown iu open ground. He has lived on the farm nine years. It cost him thirty dollars per acre. He has fort)-six acres in garden, the products of which find ready sale in the city. Tfiis cost him $112 50 i i acre iugold, ami more than pays for l t .*.»ch year. About one hundred and fifty ot his iarm averages anuually seventy-five dollars per acre gross receipts. Ho mis.* 'nuts and vegetables of all kinds. He has r..i- .1 a crop of outs and ono and a half tons ut grass to tho acre the same year, alter harvesting the oat*. Ho cultivates apples, pears, peaches, figs, pomegranates, grapes, such as the Isabella. Maderia, Catawba, Scupperuoug, etc. Mr. C. is a native of Scotland, but has teisded in Montgomery thirty-four years. He is a gen tleman of much intelligence, and was Comp- tro'ler of the fcitate up to tho time of its u con struction. He is oue of their uicst worthy and respected citizens, and opposed secession so long as it could do any good. He cordi ally accepts the situation and by fair dealing with his employers has no difficulty in obtain ing all tho labor required, liis farm is a model one and au imitation ol his manage- ineut will greatly improve tho country. His sous are trained to industry ou tho farm, and it we mistake not will make their mark in public affairs. Tiie HOWE is the Parent MACHINE to iv liich nii others owe their origin.
