8. THE ATLANTA WEEKLY SUN A CLUB OF 104 SUBSCRIBERS. THE DOCTRINES OF THE INDORSED. SUN CLAYTON SUPERIOR COURT. ^HECAHD THAT WILL WIN, AND THE PRESAGE TO VICTORY. Texas, September 2, 1871. J. Henly Smith, General Editor Atlanta Sun: D»ab Sie : It is with pleasure that I forward to you the inclosed list of sub scribers, amounting in number to one hundred and four, with draft on New York for $104 to pay their subscription for one year to The Weekly Sun. Only a few days since your paper reached our town, through Judge Mc Guire, the only subscriber here at the time, and almost without exertion the list herewith inclosed was obtained. The people of Texas are thoroughly aroused ou the question of politics, and will hail with delight the appearance of your paper, which so truly reflects the policy to be pursued to insure the con tinuation of a republican government, as established by Jefferson and our other fathers of-1776. The arguments of Mr. Stephens on the abomination of the “New Depar ture,” and the fraudulent amendments, arc so clear and conclusive that the most “wayward” who reads can readily un derstand the real situation and the real issue. I cannot, sir, properly express my ad miration of the course of The Sun, and the stand it has taken for the constitu tional rights of our people. Many other names could be added to this list in a few days, but justice to those already subscribed compels me to forward it at this time. Very respectfully, P. S.—I really believe that more than another hundred names can be added to this list in a very short time. GEORGIA WESTERN RAILROAD. Meeting of tlic Board of Directors. Interesting Trial. Last week the Superior Court, Judge Hopkins presiding, was in session at Jonesboro, and will continue this week. All of last week was consumed in the trial of Henry J. Hugbie, charged with the murder of C. A. Dollar—resulting in a verdict of acquittal, which was render ed about 9 o’clock Saturday. Mr. Dollar came to bis death on the 1st day of October last, in an altercation or difficulty with Mr. Hughie—the cir cumstances of which are remembered by tbe community. There was great difficulty in selecting a jury, and almost the whole county was exhausted before it was completed.— Nearly every man bad formed or expres sed an opinion. Finally, a Very intelli gent and satisfactory jury was empaneled and tbe trial progressed patiently, with an immense crowd to witness it from first to last, though all was quiet and no de monstration of any kind from first to last. The evidence closed late Friday even ing, and argument proceeded, followed by the Judge’s charge, which was given to the jury at one o’clock in the night. There were no less than 36 witnesses ex amined. The following are the attorneys in the case: For tbe State: Solicitor General How ell, Col. J. D. Stewart of Griffin, Col. J. L. Doyal of Jonesboro, and B. T. Dor sey of Fayetteville. For the defense: Tidwell and Fears of Fayetteville, Hnlsey & Tigner, M. P. Byington and B. J. Cowart -of Atlanta, and J. L. Blalock and Q. C. Greer of Fayetteville. „ - ■ ■ ♦ Vol. Dunning, Superintendent of the Atlanta Agricultural and Industrial As sociation, desires the residents of the city, who design exhibiting at the coming fair, to make then entries at as early day as is convient, so that the entries may be recorded and space assigned before the busy days -immediately preceding tbe Fair. The books are open at the office of the Secretary, Samuel Echols, on Broad street. has been sought to solve the difficulty. The Judge took the militia with him to hold the Marion Circuit Court. New Orleans, September 11.—-Two blocks in the business part of Minden were destroyed by fire last night. .The loss amounts to 8100,000, and only $25,- 000 was covered by insurance. San Francisco, S^pt. 11—The Repub licans have elected all of the three Con gressmen. Portland, Sept. 11.—The vote in this city was light and the result close. A Lewiston dispatch says the Bepubli- earig are 250 ahead. It went Democratic last year by 80 majority. Later.—The vote of this city (Port land) gives Perham (Rep.) 2,174 and Kimball (Dem.) 1885. Scattering 1*2.— Republican majority 271 against 411 last year. Sull Later.—Nine towns give a Re publican majority of 386. The same towns, last year, gave a Democratic ma jority of 304. This includes Bangor, where the Republican gain is very large, the Democratic candidate last year being a resident there. Lewiston.—Androscoggin county goes Republican by 1,200 majority, against 400 last year. Bangor.—Only a two-thirds vote was polled here to-day. Perham gets 1,466 and Kimball gets 1,119—being a Repub lican gain of 937. The Republicans elect the Representatives and county officers by about the same majority. Democrat ic Representatives were eleven last year- FOREIGN NEWS. Important Action. On Saturday morning the Board— President Campbell Wallace in the chair—held a meeting at the banking house of John H. James, at which the resignations of Thos. Alexander, Charles W. Wells, and A. M. Speights were ac cepted, and these vacancies filled accord ing to the terms of the Charter and By- Laws, by the election of Col. Geo. W. Adair, Judge Julius A. Hayden, and Maj. William J. Garrett, each of whom accepted the position, and will heartily exert all their energies and influence to push the work forward. These are the right kind of men, among our best citizens, having financial ability, credit, influence and reputation, which are.not confined to this city; men too, of first class business qualifications who are able to take hold ofjudiciously, and wield advantageously, great financial enterprises. We congratulate the Board, the cify and the country upon this very proper selection of men to fill the va cancies. They will be acceptable to every true friend of the Road. And here let us say a word for two of the members who have resigned, we allude to Mr. Wells and Mr. Speights, and in doing so, we speak by their authority. They accepted the positions tendered them by the Council, with a full determination to dp all they could for the road in any and every way. It was a position new to them, and they did not, at the time, comprehend the great responsibilities it would impose; and this is a matter upon which the City Council in its corporate capacity does not appear to have reflected upon. As soon as they saw that others might perhaps be able to serve the company more efficiently, or that some persons in the community were of that opinion, they at once tendered their resignations. They acted patriotically throughout, and deserve, and have, the good opinion of the community. They have shown themselves entitled to the same—shown that they have no desires, no aims, no ambition that will for a moment be per mitted to stand in the way of the public good or the interest of the road—not even if it exist in imagination only. In the afternoon another meeting was held, at which all necessary business was transacted. Each one was enthused, and determined to push the work vigorously. Highly encouraging reports were made. The engineers are hard at work, and are finding a much better route than was an ticipated; and what is most encouraging of all, there is every reason to be lieve, and to feel full confidence, that if Georgia will build the road to the Al abama line, it will certainly be completed to Elyton without any unnecessary de lay. The following committees were ap pointed: Committee on Subscription*—Vie# President James, John Collier, sod A. W. Mitchell. Executire Committee-—John H. James. John Col lier and E. Y. Clarke. The greatest portion of the burden "Will fall upon this city. Let ns shoulder it like men and carry it to the end of the row. TELEGRAPH NEWS By the New York Associated Press. DOMESTIC NEWS. ‘There is a painful impression that there are too many ‘Colonels,’ ” says the Courier-Journal. True, every word of it, and there should be but one Gen eral “nest” of the Courier-Journal Chicago, September. 11.—Bishop Whitehouse paid the Episcopal visit to Christ church, and finding Cheney .in the vestry he withdrew.' It'is stated the candidates for confirmation were unani mously opposed to -presentation to the Bishop except through Cheney. A lawyer read the service and Cheney preached. Bloomfield, September 11.—The fire on Saturday night destroyed two hun dred thousand dollars Worth of property. Wilmington, September 11.—The cor oner’s jury relieves the captain and offi cers but censured tbe United States’ in spector for allowing the boat to runyears without inspection as required by law, and hold him in a great degree responsible, as he granted a certificate for this boat with out being in the State at the time. His authorized duty is to exhinine this mat ter, and if he neglected it, which evidence goes to prove, he should be held account able. oj vyoYK Hartford, September 11.—Three deaths have occurred from mistaking toadstools for mushrooms. St. Louis, September 11.—An excur sion train ran into a furniture wagon con taining nineteen picknickers two miles from East St. Louis. Three were killed and two mortally, and five seriously hurt. Only three of the nineteen were unhurt. The wind was blowing in the direction of the approaching train and the pickoick- ers were singing. The horses .were the first to apprehend danger. One darted forward and the other back, leaving the wagon dead still on the track. The rail road employees were exculpated. Newburyport, September 11.—Tbe boiler of Curtis’ hat factory exploded to day, killing six persons. Several are wounded and missing. Lexington, Sept. 11.—A terrible mur der was committed last night at the resi dence of John Harper, the owner of the racehorse Longfellow, near Midway.— Jake and Betsey, brother and sister of John Harper had their throats cut by some unknown person. It is supposed to have been done for the purpose of rob bery. Scrare negroes, who were living within a few feet of Harper’s residence, knew nothing of the occurrence until this morning. No clue can be obtained to the perpetrators of the bloody deed. Later.—Three of the negroes living on John Harper’s place have been ar rested as the murderers of Jake and Betsey Harper. Blood was found upon their shirts, and the evidence against them is very strong. Several other ne groes who were employed upon the place are missing, and it is believed'that they are implicated in the terrible affair. A large party of citizens has started to hunt for the missing negroes. Philadelphia, September 11.—It is stated that the accounts of the Treasurer of the Mint, which are now undergoing investigation, are much mystified. Little Bock, September 11.—Two convicts, in attempting to escape from the penitentiary brick-yard, were shot and killed by the guard. The cotton worm has appeared in many localities in the State. There has not been any rain for nearly six weeks; and both cotton and corn have suffered from the drought. The troubles in Boone comity are cre ating considerable excitement. A few days ago a Circuit Judge ordered militia out, and with ostensible purpose of pro tecting his Court, and kept them during his term. They are reported to have committed depredations, and attempted assassination of one or two prominent Democrats of that county. The difficul ties appear to have grown out of differ ences between the Judge and Sheriff, both of whom are Republicans. The lat ter was deposed by the former, and the Coroner substituted. The Sheriff refused to fojjonder his office. The Governor COVINGTON. The Examine)' of the 9th (which reach ed here yesterday) says: Mrs. Seymore, of Putnam county, on returning home from Madison, on last Saturday, was thrown from her buggy and almost instantly killed. She was the mother of twelve Uving children. The ad occurrence happened near the resi dence of Mrs. Shepherd, where she was taken and received all the attention in the power of the family to render. We deeply sympathize with the distressed family. TALBOTTON. The Standard of last week speaks as follows of the crop prospects: We do not see any cause to change our estimate made in August in regard to tbe prospects in this county. The boll worm has not been so damaging as tbe rust, which has spread throughout the county, checking the growth and development of the top crop. The late storm prostrated fields of cotton and late corn, leaving a big bole around the former. In conse quence of rust, entire fields of cotton will soon be opened. Tbe crop will be from one-half to two-thirds in Talbot. Con sidering tbe decreased acreage this year, we cannot realize much more than half the number of bales of 1870. A few far mers report their crops as good as last year; but this results from high manur ing and cultivation. Plenty of corn, with few exceptions, occasioned by over flows on low-grounds, will be made for home consumption. Madrid, September 11.—Amadeus.is indisposed. His progress through the provinces has been stopped. London, September 11.-—The Times editorially censures the importation of foreign workmen, and sustains, on moral and sanitary grounds, the British strikers for nine hours labor. Queen Victoria has entirely recovered. The potato disease .is spreading in Lan cashire.

WASHINGTON. ie Maine Elections—Mexican aldcices— The ; Jl ?“ Weather* Washington, September 11.—Up to 10 o’clock p. m. tbe returns indicate a falling off in the Democratic vote, the reports thus far showing Democratic gains. Late'Mexican advices state that the merchants of Tampico refuse to pay the taxes exacted by the revolutionists. Troops are, consequently, engaged .in closing commercial houses.

The break on tbe Central Railroad be tween here and Macon has been so far repaired that the Macon passenger train arrived about 1 o’clock yesterday. The enterprise of the Central* in thus restor- ing this important communication in so short a time is highly commendable. COLUMBUS. The Sun, of Sunday, Bheds the follow ing rays: c«»aoK Rev.
