Accident.
The passengers on the Wednesday night’s
Atlanta train did not leave the city until
four o’clock yesterday morning, in conse
quence of the truck wheel of the engine
breaking, and throwing the train from the
track, at the two mile crossing. ‘Nobody
hurt.' Engine and express car somewhat
damaged.
Questionable.
The Rochester Union thinks publishers
might save money by discontinuing the
publishing of unpaid letters at the postoffice
and leaving funds in the hands of the
postmaster to be used in the prepayment.
Undoubtedly they might, and they would
save more money, perhaps, by issuing a
daily paper made up of advertisements
entirely and discontinuing the publishing of
any news whatever, but we don’t believe it-
Savings Bank
We take pleasure in calling atteution to
the advertisement, in another coinmil, of
the “ National Freedman’s Savings and
Trust Company,” chartered by Act of
Congress—a branch of which is now in
successful operation, under charge ot Sam’l
Harris, general inspector and acting
cashier, at No. 40 Jackson street, Augusta-
Il will be seen that this Bank is open
every day, from nine o’clock in the forenoon
to two in the afternoon, and on Saturday
evenings from six to eight o’clock ; and that
deposits of any amount, from five cents
upwards, will be received from, any person.
Deposits can always be withdrawn without
notice; deposits in specie are repaid in
specie; all other deposits are repaid in
‘greenbacks’ or National Bank bills. Al'
the profits belong to the depositors. Look
into this thing.
I. O. O. F. ,
The Right Worthy Grand Lodge of the
State of Georgia met at Odd Fellows’ Halb
Macon, Wednesday morning. The following
Grand officers were present:
T. P. Fleming, M. W. G. M.
James Lacklison, R. W. D. G. M.
T. A. Burke, R. W. G. W.
George R. Barker, R. W. G. Secretarv.
S, W. Grubb, R. W. G. Marshal.
F. A. Lantzneater, R. W. G. C.
Rev. E, A. Burch, Grand Chaplain, pro
ten.
M. R. Rodgers, R. W. G. Guardian pro
tern.
M. Lowcntball, IL* W. G. Herald pro tem.
Sixteen Lodges were represented, and the
attendance of Representatives and Past
Grands was larger than for yvars past.
Originality.
It has been said by learned men that there
is no such thing as an original idea; that
ideas always have been ; that they are float
ing around in space, and the man who
flatters himself that he has originated a new
thought is, after all, only playing second
fiddle to some dead Caesar, who used and
abandoned the same thing some centuries
before. Wendell Phillips is not only a dis
ciple ot this school, but, in a very able
lecture, some years since, endeavored to
prove that even the arts of to day, to which
we refer with so much pride, as indicative of
the progressive tendencies of the age, were
known to the ancients long before the flood.
If this all be true, we think the man who
succeeds in digging from the past ono of
these long lost arts, or catches one of these
floating ideas, is entitled to be credited with
perseverance, if not originality. But the
man who stands by while bis neighbor is
working, and, as soon as the idea is fairly
trapped, appropriates it to himself, is guilty
of a meaner act than the veriest pickjiocket
that walks. Journalists, more than anybody
efse we know of, seem to be lawful plunder
for such harpies.
Vacation of the riehoole.
Nearly all the educational establishments
of this city, both public and private, have
been closed for the summer recess. The
vacation is hailed as a happy release by
teachers and pupils, thousands of whom
have been for weeks past longingly await
ing the joyous hour which Would set them
free, and enable them to leave the city be -
hind them in their search for cooling
breezes and healthful pastimes among the
mountains or by the sea shore.
Scores of children, however, who have no
bright country prospects before them will
be turned loose in the, city streets to study
nature and be exposed to zymotic attacks,
much to the regrets of parents who think
them, not incorrectly perhaps, better off at
school, where, if they do not learn satisfac
torily, at least they are kept out of mischief.
Ihus olive branches who have been regard
ed as the choicest of blessings all through
the year will now be looked upon as “pests,”
and tenement houses will ring with the
echoes of juvenile rumpuses.
The vacation will be improved, also, by
the mechanics, who will work busily, in spite
°f the weather, in repairing, repainting aud
reconstructing the school and class rooms,
while laboreis will see to it that the vaults
and cellars are stocked anew with coal and
wood, in readiness for the winter season.
To all the teachers and children —whether
they go into the country or stay in the city—
we wish a glorious time. May they have
ebundant recreation, and be so recuperated,
mentally and physically, by their two months’
holiday, that they will enter with hearty zest
n Pon the dnties and privileges of the Fall
*nd Winter scholastic period.

W. I’. Howard. —The intelligence of the
death of W. I’. Howard reached this-city ou
Tuesday afternoon. The eomtniinitv was
shocked at the tidings, for General Howard
was a man well known to all the citizens of
Atlanta, and-few ever enjoyed a greater
social popularity in any community than he
did in this. He was one of those genial
companionable fellows who Imve not an
enemy in the world, and yet he was one who
had the highest respect from the community
in which be was best known.
Since the war he Ims not been with us
much. As musical guardian of “Blind
Tom,” he has made a tour of the United
States, England, and a large portion of con
tinental Europe. During the past few months,
however, he has had charge of the musical
department of the Atlanta Classical College
for young ladies.
General Howard died at Athens, Ala. His
remains will reach this city to morrow, and
be interred in the city cemetery with Ma
sonic honors.— Atlanta Era, Thursday.
Ax Affair both Serious and Mysteri
ous.—The Sheriff's Office of this District
has been robbed of $3,100. During the
past week, between Thursday night and
Saturday morning, this sum was stolen from
the iron safe in which Sheriff deposits
his moneys and valuables. The Sheriff
sleeps iu the jail adjacent to the Court
House, and every night the key of the
Sheriff’s office is with him in his sleeping
appartment. And yet the key is not knnwn
to have been one moment missing ; nor do
the doors or windows of the office or the
lock of the safe, bear the slightest trace of
having been tampered with. There is no
trace or clue to the robber ; all is mystery.
Major Bules, our trnstworthy Sheriff, is,
however, leaving no stone unturned to bring
to light the manner and perpetrator of this
robbery. *We have no ’dowbt he will be
ultimately successful; we earnestly hope
so, for such a loss would now fall very
heavy upon him.; — Edgefield Advertiser.

Letter from Governor Warmouth.
Washington, August.G.—The President
has received the following from the Governor
of Louisiana :
State of laii'isiana, 1
Executive Dei'axtm’t, Naw Orleans, V
August 1, 18G8. )
To His I’xcMyucy. Andrew Johnson, Presi
dent of the United States:
Sir—l bavo the honor to forward to you,
by Lieut Colonel John. F. Deane, of my
staff, the joint resolution adopted by the
General Assembly of this State on the first
dby of August, 1808. I also enclose with it
a petition from a number of the most promi
nent and influential citizens-of North Louis
iana, setting forth the horrible outrages that
are Jaily being perpetrated in that portion of
the State, together with a letter from the
Hon. G. W. -Hudspeth, Attorney for the
Eighth Judicial District, showing the state qf
affairs that exists there ulso.
• I send otherjetters and papers, showing
'clearly that in many of the Parishes there
exists no protection for the citizens iu the
courts, and that men are shot down in the
roads, in their homes, and elsewhere, without
a question being asked, or any steps taken,
to bring the offenders to justice.
The Judge of the 12th Judicial District
rGftses to- go to the' parish of Franklin
unless a force is sent with him to protect
him front violence ; and he is not obnoxious
on personal or political grounds, for, in
politics, be was opposed to the new Consti
tptiou, and is a life-long citizen of the
State.
The Sheriff of the parish of Franklin (a
Democrat) has resign*!, confessing his
inability to make any arrests, or discharge
the duties of his office, on account of the
condition of affairs there. .
Prominent Union men iu tho parish of
Gaddo write me that their homes are beset
by desperadoes, and that their lives nnd
property have thus far been saved from
destruction only by armed men, who volun
teered to guard them. As you will see by
tha letter of Mr. Hudspeth, District Attorney
lor the Sixth District, men, women aud
children have recently been murdered in the
parish of St. Laudry by bands of armed men,
who remain thus far unpunished and unmo
lested.
The enclosed newspaper, a Democratic
journal, published in Madison parish, shows
clearly the condition of affairs there, in cor
roboration of the statements contained in
the petition of Judge Crawford, Judge
Wyley, and other gentlemen of North
Ijimisiana.
From the very best information, Mr. Pres
ident, I have no doubt that oue hundred and
fifty men have been murdered in Louisiana'
in the last mouth and a half.
Startling as this statement is, letters of
the most reliable character fully, confirm it.
There seems to be a settled determination
on tbo part of these men who. adhered to
the rebellion to either kill or drive away
die Union white men and leading colored
men so as to be able to terrify the masses
of the people into voting as they shall dic
tate. There is a secret organization through
out the State known as the K. W. C., the
full details of which Colonel Deane,will ex
plain to you. It is founded for the purpose
of placing and keeping the colored people
in a condition of inferiority, and with a
view to this end it contemplates and designs
the precipitation of conflict between the
two races. Many prominent citizens in tho
State are lenders in it. Its members are
sworn tinder oaths of tho most binding
character, to carry out the purposes of
tho organization at all costs, hazards aud
sacrifices, aud by such measures, however
desperate, as their leaders may adopt.
It has now transpired that the mol) which
threatened the Legislature some weeks siooe,
were only prevented from enacting the
scenes of tbo 30th of July, 1866, l>y the
presence of the United States troops. It was
the deliberate determination of this secret
organization to ‘assassinate the "Lieutenant
Governor and Speaker of the House of
Reprcsentativ&s, fbr having decided ques
tions preliminary to the organization of the
General Assembly, in a manner obnoxious
to them.
There are military organizations on foot iu
the city under the auspices of this secret
organization. They declare openly in our
streets at night, or in halls, easily to be
seen. In short, I fully believe there is
meditated a bloody revolution, the certain
fruit of which would be a long-continued, if
not a hopeless confusion, disaster and ruin
to the State. ’
The presence oT United States troops, in
my judgment, is necessary to prevent this.
The organization of the militia i» of very
questionable expediency, inasmuch as it
will be, under the present excited state of
mind, one political party armed to support
the government against another.
1 wish to avert this, if possible, and re
spectfully request your Excellency to put
two regiments of cavalry, a regiment of in
fantry, together with a battery-of artillery,
under the command of some competent
officer, with orders to cooperate with me
in suppressing disorder and violence, arrest
ing criminals, and protecting the officers us
the law in trying them ; the breaking up of
all secret political organizatk.E.\ and a
few examples of condign punishment of
offenders will secure peace in’the Slate As
the great excitement attending the present
political campaign is over.
I have the honor to be, very respectfully,
your obedient servant,
H. O. Wakmouth,
Governor of Louisiana.

Washington Items
WashinoTon, August 6—Gen. Kilpat
rick, Minister to Chili, has leave of absence
and returns homo first.
The President has accepted Rollins’ resig
nation without any remark on conditions,
which he still holds. Tho acceptance is
mere formality, it is said, and does not
change the situation. Geu. Burbridge is
pressing for the office, and it is said ho has
assurances from several Senators thut they
will protect the President in dealing prompt
ly with Rollins in Burbridge’s favor.
No authentic information regarding Exe
cutive intentions respecting federal inter
ference in Louisiana affairs. _
Grant will be absent till tho middle o(
September. He will probably accompany
the Indian Pence Commission, which Sher
man has summoned together, westward.
Evarts has returned, unexpectedly. He
bud a prolonged interview with the President
first, nnd then with McCulloch. It is under
stood that Evarts took strong grounds against
Rollins’ removal, except on the terms of his
resignation, or by suspension, tor" cause,
under the Tenare of Office bill, threatening,
otherwise, to withdraw from the Cabinet.
Meantime, Rollins is utterly obnoxious to
the President and McCulloch.- It is said,
however, that Rollins has modified the terms
of his resignation, nnd, on the same authority,
(doubtful), that General Jeffries willsuccccd
him.

The interview between the President and
t'ol. Dean, of Warmouth’s staff, was pleasant
aud conciliatory. During the interview the
President gave no indications of questioning
the legitimacy of Louisiana's present gov
ernment, and expressed to CoL Dean the
opinion—not decision, he wished it to be
understood—that the same course would be
'followed by the Secretary of War towards
Louisiana aud Florida thut prevails in
.Tennessee; that is, iu effect, that there are
sufficient troops in those States to suppress
disorders, and that they would be used for
that purpose upon proper application from
the State ; uitder the direction, however, of
United States officers.
Willi this unofficial expression of opinion,
the matter was referred to the War Depart
ment, and remains in abeyance until
Schofield’s return ou Saturday.
