A REPORTED HEAVY
- . PRESS ROBBERY.
EX
A $180,000 Haul!
We see it stated in the Nashville Ban
ner that the express car on the Mobile &
Ohio Railroad was lately robbed of some
$30,000 while on the road.
We learn from a gentleman who ar
rived on the train from the west that it
is commonly understood that the amount
of money taken %from the tsar was over
$180,000.
He reports the robbery as having taken
place in the night, while the train was in
motion, and while the messenger was
asleep, on a long ran between stations
and that the car was entered by an open
ing being mode in the top, and the iron
safe drawn up—the whole being done
without any alarm or discovery whatever,
until the work was completed.
The Griffin & Madison Railroad
From the Augusta papers we ascer
tain that, on the 22d instant, Judge
Reese and Mayor Thomason, of Madi
son, visited Augusta in order to enlist
the people of that city in the interest of
the Griffin & Madison Railroad. Mayor
Estes, upon learning the object of their
visit, invited a number of prominent cit
izens to meet them at the Board of Trade
Rooms. A meeting was held and Judge
Reese made an argument to show how the
road would benefit Augusta and why the
capitalists and business men of that city
should subscribe. From the Chronicle &
SentineTs synopsis of the speech we make
the following extract:
“ The distance from Madison to Griffin is between
sixty and seventy-five miles. The road would cost
about twelve hundred thousand dollars, or twenty
them sand dollars per mile. This estimate would in
clude the track and the entire equipment of the
road—depots, rolling stock and locomotives. Since
the scheme had been started the pcoplo along its line
had come out enthusiastically in its support. About
two hundred and forty thjusand dollars of the stock
of the road have already been subscribed. Only
sixty thousand dollars more would render success
certain In this way : If three hundrod thousand dol
lars of tbo stock is taken a firm of railway contract
ors and capitalists havo agreed to subscribe throe
hundred thousand dollars more and take a contract
to build the road. This would give us six hundred
thousand dollars. But double that sum is required.
How is it to bo raised ? For every thousand
dollars ot stock subscribed, the State has agreed
to give aid to the amount of one thousand dollars.
This six hundred thousand dollars subscription
would give six hundred thousand dollars of State aid
twelve hundrod thousand dollars in all—the
pushed
That it would benefit An
completion very rapidly.
gusta ten times thatamount there could be no doubt
The road would penetrate the counties of Morgan,
Jasper, Putnam, Butts and Spalding, among the
richest and most productive in Georgia. The trade
of all these connties and others would find its way
over tho new line and poured into the lap of Augus
ta. Thousands of bales of cotton which now go by
other routes to rival markets would be brought to
this city, and increase its commerce and its material
prosperity. Augusta merchants would find custo
mers all along this route—in the towns and villages
in the country—for their dry goods, groceries and
fertilisers.
The matter was farther discussed by
other gentlemen who were present, after
which a committee was appointed to can
vass the city for subscriptions. The com
mittee consists of Messrs. J. J. Pearce,
James A. Gray, J. M. Clark, J. T. Smith
and John D. Butt.
The people of Griffin and Madison,
and,.indeed, along the whole route, are
very decided in their support of this pro
jected road. There is not a dissenting
voice among the whole host of them,
and if the present spirit is kept np, the
road will bo bnilt.
Col. C. Peeples.
This gentleman, temporarily connected
with the Atlanta Sun as its political editor,
has retired from that journal in a grace
ful valedictory, and will hereafter confine
his splendid abilities to the practice of
law. The Colonel is one of the most
sociable, genial members of the Georgia
bar, and iio member of that honored fra
ternity liveth more in the hearts of his
friends.
.The above mention of onr friend and
late assoc;.ite. Col. Peoples, we find in
the last number of the LaGrange Re
porter, and it is transferred to The Sun
in order that we may endorse the com
pliment expressed in it.
To appreciate Col. Peeples, he must
be known intimately, as we know him.—
He is one of nature’s best efforts, and a
life of close observation and studious at
tention to men and books has vastly im
proved upon nature. Few men are bis
superiors intellectually; few have gone
over as wide a field of study, or have can
vassed it so thoroughly, and very few
have enjoyed his familiarity with public
men, or were endowed with the skill to
read them so well. As a lawyer he ranks
among the brightest ornaments of the
Georgia bar, his reputation not being
confined to the limits of a circuit, bnt is
as broad as the State, and broader.
To say that we admire Col. Peeples,
would-but feebly express our feeling for
him. To say that we love him would be
nearer the truth, as he embodies all the
traits of character calculated to beget
that feeling between man and man,

The Philadelphia Age of June 20, says:
Importaut facts have transpired in rela
tion to the resolution passed by the Rad
ical Convention in Pennsylvania, indors
ing Grant. It appears that this resolu
tion was twice offered in the Committee
and twice rejected by an almost unani
mous vote. It was next offered in open
Convention, where the members did not
like to vote against it, and allowed to go
through. The sense of the Convention
was evidently against General Grant, and
it is said the counter current was set run
ning by Senator Cameron. The old trick
sU* does not vant the President to see
that he IS too strong in Pennsylvania.—

Mrs. Few petitioned Council for protection. A ne
gro at one end of her house had filled his room with
hay, shavings and other combustibles, which a spark
might at any moment wrap all her earthly posses
sions in flames. She suggests that Council fine
such offenders everywhere ten dollars, commencing
on her particular nigger. The petition was referred.
The “Dear Creatures” addressed a petition to his
Honor, praying him to have Forrest Avenne put
such a condition as to be passable. A motion to re
fer the whole matter to his Honor, failed. It was af
terwards referred to the Street Committee.
BEPOBT OF COMMITTEES.
Now came the fan. The Mitchell Street extension
muddle was boldly broached.
Alderman Caasin read a report recommending the
removal of the obstructions and opening the street.
Before one man could get his motion heard, two
three others were moving for something else. The
Mayor had been enjoined.
A resolution instructing the City Attorney to dis
solve the injunction was passed.
Dashes were made here and there at tho .Marshal
and City Surveyor, greatly to the discomfort of those
officers.
Resolutions begging their pardons for what they
bad said about them at the last meeting were alter
nately passed and rescinded, and to this minute those
officers do not clearly understand whether they rest
under a censure’or not.
Then Alderman McLendon reported on streets.
None of which gave universal satisfaction. Cuts and
thrusts were handed in right and left. The Council-
men came thero in a bad humor—opened the show
in a bad humor, and displyed it all the way through.
From the familiarity of epithets used, a looker-on
might suppose they were very well acquainted with
one another, or at least wasn't afraid of each other.
Some essay to he the leading spirits in council said
tho most ridiculous things, and made tho moves
and objected to the most meaurea. Anything
let off gas. If a motion was put to the house before
his Honor would call the yeas and nays, a half dozes
other moves would be made, and the last man that
got his say in, that would be acted.on. In this way
confusion would get worse confonndcd, when
brushing out would be done, and the wrangle begnn
again. All this time the presiding.offlcer would look
on in bewildered amazement at the exploif s going on
before, withontone word of command, ortho faintest
attempt at producing order.
The amount of petitions for building drains and
sewers were innumerable. Every man who had
ditch in his neighborhood wanted a sewer bnilt.
made no difference where he lived or how far out
town, he had to be attended to.
Alderman Cassin wanted all tho money that could
bo spared for that purpose, to be applied in the heart
of the city. Sensible.
Mr. Ormond wanted Washington street opened up
as far a's his ressdence. He would give the land for
that purpose. It was proven to be a road through his
plantation that he wanted worked. Fowler said after
they got through working the streets then he was
willing to go out and work on the plantations.
A committee got hold of this. Everything is re
ferred to a committee; and the subsequent meeting
when these committees report, there are always two,
and tho minority report generally wins tho point.
This is a noticeable feature.
A motion to reconsider the Mitchell streot business
was lost.
The Cemetery fence was reported in a dilapidated
condiiion, and the Committee on the Cemetery was
instructed to receive sealed proposals for the erection
of a new fence.
Alderman Cassin, to the last, could not restrain
penchant for making a speech. He attempted to re
open the old wounds about Mitchell street There
must bo some honey where the bees fly around so
much. Who can tell? *
Various street projects were proposed, discussed
and at last would get so mixed np that'they were lost
in the confusion.
Alderman Wells wanted to work out Foundry
Street, dig down a hill, and sell the unoccupied rea-
estate In the neighborhood of the old magazine.—
About one and a half acres there belong to the city.
Lowry said it took two mules, a nigger and a migh
ty substantial wagon, to haul three kegs of powder
from the magazine.
Rice already had a street nearly completed to the
magazine, and didn’t want Wells’ street opened nor
his hill cut down.
A long, running and unintelligible debate took
place about cutting Mitchell—raising Peters a few
feet, and making the paths straight for Church-goers
in the neighborhood of the junction of those thor
oughfares.
Then the everlasting Mitchell Street cise would
come tip. But down It would go. There is some
thing rotten in that street. Who can tell ?
The Mayor was instructed to appoint five mem.
hers of Council to represent the city’s stock in the
annual meeting of the stockholders of the Georgia
Western Railroad, which comes off in July.
TheFinance Committee reported $747.71 as the
amount paid out this week. This was the healthiest
sign wo saw in the whole thing.
The most dignified member we saw last night was
Alderman Graham. He spake never a word, thereby
evincing a sound judgment. The next most digni-
fidest man was Grubb; he said two words. The
third on the list was Schneider. He seconded one
motion, and as no attention was paid to it, he quit.
These three members have the thanks of the citizens
for being mute. If they said nothing good, they
have tho satiafoction of knowing that they said noth
ing—which is more than the rest of them can say.
Take it all together, if tho Council did any impor-
tant business lait night, we faded to get the "grist'
of it.
Water Works wasn’t mentioned. Nothingbutsew-
ers and drains, all of which were referred to the
Stree- Committee, and as one member intimated,
they were “gone where the woodbine,” Ac., only so
far as it affects the personal property of the Chair-
man. Bully boys!
T*lxc Grand Jury Persentments*
In Thk Sun of yesterday morning were published
the Presentments of the Grand Jury for the term of
the Court Jnst closed. The Jury has done its duty
well. It has been vigilant and energetic in looking
alter offenders, and has succeeded in relieving the
city of a great many nuisances. The jurors did no
more than their duty, but they did that honestly,
fearlessly, conscientiously and without malice or de
sire to persecute anyone. Each man appears-to
have, for the time, considered himself a special cus
todian of the law and was determined to see it fully
vindicated. 1
With such jurors for the inquest and a Judge like
Hoptans on the bench, offenders will have a hard

Subject—“But one thing is needful.”
-Luke 10, 42.
The theme of the discourse was that,
the-Christian religion is the one thing
needful to eveiy individual of the human
family; but more especially is that reli
gion the one thing needful to woman.—
Woman is, by nature, more susceptible
to religious influence tban man; and wo
man, owing to her peculiar relations and
associations, can more readily instii into
the minds of the young the sentiments
and impressions of religious training
than man. The Christian religion is .the
only religion in the world thakplaees
woman as the equal and the companion
of man. All other religions degrade
woman below her proper sphere in life,
and make man the lord over her; and in
some countries, woman is treated with
less humanity than beasts of burden usu
ally are in a Christian country.. . Many
had discussed the question, whether the
female mind is equal to that of the male;
but such a question needs no discussion.
The male mind is the superior when
bronght into exercise within its proper
■sphere of action; and the female mirnl
is the superior when brought into exer
cise within its proper sphere. »*«-
The exercises will continue during the
week, and bid fair to be of tho most in
teresting character.
