THE LATEST NEWS.
Up to the 27th ult., the Beecher jury was
still in their room, and nothing was known
of their action. They are on the ragged edge,
we expect.

Six other towns, containing 20,000 souls, have
been destroyed, the exact number of persons

the population.
A negro thief who was confined in the Rich

York on the 27 ult.
Hanburry has cried “Wolf” in earnest, Ou
Sunday morning a disastrous tire occurred in
Dalton, destroying property to the amount of
$75,000. The fli c’ originated in the store of
J. D. Diving’s & son. This building and that
ofM. Hirschbe'g were completely destroyed
with a large part of their contents. It is doubt
less the work of an incendiary.
Mortimer Thompson better known as “Phi
lander Doesticks,” is dead.
Beecher is determined to go right on with
his preaching and writing the life of Christ, no
matter what the verdict in the case may be.
Red Cloud and Spotted Tail have signed a
treaty to quit hunting in Nebraska, in consid
eration of $25,000 cash.
And now Col. Henry Barton Beecher, a son
of 11. W. has had the’upholsterer Loader ar
lested for perjury, Price, his confederate
having stated that he knew nothing of Loader
until 1872, three years after the alleged time,
the said Loader pretends to have witnessed
impaoper seenes between Beecher and Mrs.
Tilton. Evidence to prove it a case of black
mail, will be produced. Price and Loader are
both locked up.
In the long range contest between the Amer

to his own store. lie gave bond.
Work upon the new Atlanta hotel, on the site
of Peck’s planing mill has begun.
Gen. Win, Preston seems to occupy a promi
nent position as candidate for Senator from his
native State, Kentucky.
Bard, it seems, has 'determined to startjhis
paper, th e Advance, in Atlanta. The mission
of this paper, it seems, is to win the old Whigs
and Jackson andjDouglass Democrats over to
Radicalism. The Constitution thinks he’ll have
a hefty job of it, and that’s just our opinion.
The senior of this paper is an old line Whig,
and he is of the opinion that Psamuel would
have the heaviest task he ever undertook to
even try to reconstruct him, and all the old
line Whigs of his acquaintance are equally as
stubborn. Radicrl indeed! We’d sooner see
our hand palsied than have it cast such a vote.
The new Arctic expedition lias
sailed from Portsmouth, England.
The Augusta Constitutionalist
made a saving of $95,50 per month
by substituting kerosene for gas, and

Barnum’s balloon, from Toronto,
Canada, on the 22d ult., fell into
Lake Ontario, and was picked up by
a vessel. It was four hours in the
water. The men suffered very much,
having been dragged through the
water at a fearful rate of speed.
The recent conduct of certain color
r r li — vm tne
South leads the Richmond Whig to
say: “Every white lady in the South
owes it to herself to accustom herself
to the use of firearms; never to leave
the house without a pistol, and al
ways to have one at hand in doors.”
The Ohio Republicans are said to
be organizing anew secret society,
somewhat like the“ Know Nothings,”
with signs, grips, etc., to be called
the “Order of ’76.” The tenets are
somewhat after the fashion of the
Know Nothings, in that they are not
to vote for a foreignor or a Ro
man Catholic for office.
One of the most interesting parts
of Scarratt & Payne’s grand fete at
Oglethorpe Park in Atlanta, during
next week, will be the foot race be
tween Fatty Harris and Col. Tom
Acton. Harris demers however, to
Acton’s size. He says the Colonel must
carry weight sufficient to bring him
self up to a respectable size like Har
ris himself.
We hope the report of the inheri
tance of one million of dollars, by
Bishop Geo. F. Pierce, is true. We
do not think that amount of money
could possibly have fallen within
the hands of a better man, nor under
the control of one who knows better
how to put it where it will do the
most good.
Col. Boyle, of Montgomery, Ala.,
was killed at Opelika, on Friday
last, by being run over by the rear
car of a train upon which he was rid
ing. He attempted to step from one
car to the other, when the rear car,
not being coupled, pulled from under
him, letting him down, and the car
ran over and mangled him terribly.
A number of crates of peaches
have found their way into the New
York market, from Georgia, and
fruit dealers predict an enormous crop
this season. The present pricesare ex
orbitant,small peaches bringing from
three dollars to three dollars and
eighty cents per crate, and the larger
and finer ones being held at fifteen
dollars per crate.
A distinguished ex-officer of the
army and a graduate of West
Point, in speaking of General Sher
man’s book, says that if he was now
in the army he would prefer charges
against General Sherman for conduct
unbecoming an officer and a gentle
man, and that the contents of his
book would be sufficient to convict
him before any court-martial.
The reported losses by fire in the
United States for the month of May
show an aggregate of $8,745,800. For
the preceding four months of the
current year footed up $29,258,700,
making the entire aggregate, to the
Ist of June $48,004,500. This is a
thing. This amount Is ut
terljr* and irretrievably lost. If the
same proportion continues through
out the year, the yearly loss will reach
?he enormous sum of $98,210,000.
PROSrECT OF A WAR WITH MEX
ICO.—It is rumored in Chicago that
General Sheridan is quietly massing
a considerable body of troops in the
vicinity of the recent fight on the
Rio Grande border, with the purpose
of making a raid upon the Mexican
territory, in case further stealing oc
curs. In an interview with a Chica
go Times reporter, the General denies
these rumors, but admits that he has
ordered a gun boat and a company of
troops to proceed to the place, and
has been in correspondence with the
President relative to the matter. He
affects to believe that nothing will
come of the present troubles,but oth
ers who have equal opportunities for
understanding the situation, are of a
different opinion. It would not be
a matter of surprise at any time if
active hostilities between two coun
tries should break out. The Temp
er of the Texan State troops may
precipitate matters without a mo
ment’s warning.
The Old Told Again.—
Liberty Barlett, of Arkansas, who
for more than sixteen months was a
Special Commissioner of the Southern
Claims Commission, has filed with
the Judges of the tribunal serious
charges affecting the integrity of its
clerks, now absent in Europe.
Among others is the charge of sub
ornation of perjury in the collection
of evidence. He also, under oath,
states that the clerk is in conclusion
with certain attorneys to expedite
their cases. An analysis of his com
plaint leads to the conclusion that
the Commission pays more money
to the Attorneys practicing before it
than ever reaches the pockets of the
honest Southern claimants. A Wash
ington dispatch says: “If his com
plaint is not given an investigation by
thecourt,the complainant will file the
charges with the President. The
opinion has long prevailed here that
the court is merely an expensive lux
ury to sustain its Judges and other
officers.
It is stated that, previous to its be
ing made known that Mr. Lick, of
San Fransisco, intended to found an
observatory with the grandest tele
scope in the world, a similar instru
ment had been projected in France
by M. Foucault in 18G5, but was sus
pended in consequence of the latter’s
death. It has since however, been
resumed, under the direction of M.
Wolf, and the work is being pushed
forward as rapidly as posible. The
tube of this gigantic instrument is
nearly fifty feet long and six feet
eight inches in diameter. The reflec
tor is to be produced at the St. Go
bin glass works, and the production
of the mould alone, which is already
completed, occupied six months.
The mirror will be produced spheric

be covered with silver or gold. The

greater than that of any other

Cotton spinning appears to pay well
in England. According to the pros
pectus of anew company, “no other
class of industrial investments returns
profits approaching the average div
idends earned by numerous Lancash
ire cotton spinning and manufactur
ing companies, and is now generally
admitted that the profits of public
companies in this branch of industry
are even higher than those of private
firms, many of these companies pay
ing dividends from ten to forty-five
per cent per annum.” The names
and dividends of twenty companies
are given in proof of the latter state
ment. Of these companies the divi
dends of five average fifteen per cent;
of twelve, twenty-three per cent,
and of three forty-one per cent, per
annum.
The negro, Purifoy, was hung in
Atlanta on Friday last. He evident
ly died very hard. He was swung
off at 1:28, p. m., but was not pro
nounced dead until 1:43, p. m.—fif
teen minutes. We imagine the exe
cutioner was not very expert. It
seems to us that a man when proper
ly hung, should be so swung off that
his neck would be instantly broken.
Such was the case with Foster, the
Car Hook murderer, and with many
others of whom we have heard. We
knew of a man hung in Indianola,
Texas, who was thrown so violently
by the drop, that his neck was in
stantly broken, and a portion of his
vertebra protuded from the skin of
his neck. Can they not do the thing
in Atlanta as well as elsewhere ?
Progress.— Once upon a time,
says the Brooklyn Argus , a cry
arose that there was too much tax
ation and too little representation
in thiscountry, and, in order osten
sibly to remedy the evil, the people
got up what is known as the Bun
ker Hill row. Since then the history
of taxation here has shown that the
object of shaking off the foreign
plunderers was to enable the people
to introduce a domestic plan of plun
dering each other. At this little
game they have proved themselves
capable of giving their English
cousins two points and euchering
them every time.
Mrs. Edwin Forest’s interest in
her husband’s estate, has been finally
settled, by her receiving as a dower
$95,000—525,000 cash and a mortgage
on some property in New York, to
the amount of $70,000. If Forest
could arise from his grave and see
the disposition made of this much of
his property to his wife, ho would
gnash his teeth ; but to tell the truth
he was much the worst of the two.
We have seen enough of Forest in our
younger days to make any good wo
man loathe him,and, notwithstanding
his casting her otr, we do not believe
she was a guilty woman, at least be
fore he obtained that divorce, what
ever she may have been afterward.

HARVESTING ICE IN JUNE.
While farmers in this section are
harvesting wheat we read in the Al
bany Argus that the Port Jervis
butchers and grocers are harvesting
the remains of the winter’s ice gorge,
cutung anct carting it awy for
summer’s use. The Argus says: “It
is as solid as ever, being two feet
thick, and likely to last until the first
of July.”
Port Jervis is in the south part
of the State, on the Erie Railroad.
What would our farmers say to an
ice gorge,in the Cumberland, clear
solid ice lasting till the first of July?
Last week there was one of the
most awful hail storms near Troy,
Ala., ever witnessed in that State.
It extended over a space of
country five miles wide and seven
miles in length. On one field where
a farmer had made,and expected to
make this season from 1,000 to 1,500
bushels of corn, the crop was so com
pletly destroyed that he did not ex
pect to get a peck. The hail stones in
some instances were as large as hen’s
eggs. The cotton is also literally
beaten to pieces. Persons out in the
field were terribly injured. The hail
lay from six to eight inches on the
ground.
Georgia is very fast returning to
that prosperous condition of ante-bel
lum times which gave her the envi
able title of the Empire State of the
South. Laborers, both white and
black, are working with a will, and
a very large portion of the males of
the latter race make as reliable and
trusty laborers on a farm as they did
when slaves. Her crop prospects are
magnificent. There has been but lit
tle corn and bacon sold to her farm
ers this year, and the slack demand
from the South generally is one cause
of the failure of the bulls of the West
to make a successful corner in bacon
and corn.

there heard a defense of his course
or of the journals which uphold
him, but on every hand one hears
of his third term aspirations denounc
ed, and denunciations are generally
accompained with warm and appre
ciative praise of the independent
press and its work. It is pretty safe
to say that wherever one meets a
man of intelligence and culture he
will find him to be a disciple of the
politicial creed preached by the in-,
dependent press.
tiik, cheering rnosPECTS of the
SOUTH.
[New Orleans Price Current.]
Everything at present indicates
a gradual and healthy revival of the
general industry of the country, but
more particularly the South; this
section having been the most de
pressed, is naturally the first to feel
the slight revival of better times,
which in the Western and Northern
States is hardly noticed. But not
alone does the South feel the change
for a better future keener than
the rest of the country, her pros
pects are really brighter than those
of some of her sister States. Never
since the war have crop prospects
been so encouraging—and then we
have no grasshoppers; never in the
history of this country have the
Southern planters made such an ef
fort tc become at least partially inde
pendent of Western food crops as
this season ; all accounts tell of an in
crease of corn, of wheat ready for
harvesting, of oats, rye and root crops
in abundance. Hogs are not neglected
and live stock of all description come
m for a share of the husbandman’s
care. Then again manufactures
are languishing again, in the East
tern and Northern States, profits
have dwindled to nothing, or have
been turned into a deficit; the mill
owner naturally inquires into the
best method to rebuild his former
fortunes, and the most plausible one
that presents itself, is to reduce the
cost of manufature. But how can
this be done? Labor is already so
low that the wages paid barely sup
port the factory hands and their fam
ilies in the cheapest possible manner,
and the owners are however about to
answer their inquiry by moving the
factory nearer the cotton fields, so
as to save the expense of freight and
hauling while their raw material is
in transit. The consummation of
this move will bring capital, and an
increased demand for all the sundry
crops the Southern farmer can raise.
Our prospects indeed look bright.
Occasionally the official correspond
ence of the Washington Departments
is enlivened with bursts of genuine
humor. A few days since the fol
lowing letter was received at the
Treasury from the cashier of a croun
try bank, who wished a lotof United
States bonds exchanged into some
registered series.
I may not have expressed myself
properly, not knowing much about
the business of swapping bonds, but
my intentions are pure and innocent.
I wish to have these bonds in such
a condition that, when a burglar
comes to my room at midnight, puts
a pistol to my head, twists my nose
and takes me by each ear, and leads
me to my bank, and compels me to
unlock my safe, I can contemplate
the removal of my bonds with a
smile that is childlike and bland.
A NOBLE ENTERPRISE!
Atlanta Surgical Institute.
Some Facts Concerning It.
In this double sheet of th e Herald, as the
caption to the leading article shows, it is our
design to present facts relative to the city and
its most prominent interests, of whatever kind
they be. Herald reporters have, lor weeks,in
terviewed bankers and jobbers and manufac
turers—they have met all classes of represent
ative men of the city, and among those upon
whom their presence has been inflicted may be
named the surgeons in charge of the Atlanta
branch of the National Surgical Institute.
These gentlemen have been interviewed be
fore; they have learned to recognize a news
paper reporter as readily as a country pub
lisher does a delinquent subscriber; they have
noon ooi ca lin innumerable questions apro
pos and malapropos; they tiave officiated as
ushers and guides to countless Bohemains of
the city and country press who have desired to
see for themselves 'something concerning an
enterprise that lias required largo sums of
money and boundless conlidencc to establish,
and professional skill oi the highest calibre to
carry forward to a successful issue, and we be
lieve that each has retired with conviction that
the enterprise is a grand one, meriting praise
and confidence.
Possibly what we may write concerning this
Institute may prove but a
,I TiIHICE TOLD TALE,”
indeed wc expect to repeat facts—to confine
ourselves to facts, for they are the arguments
that the people comprehend. We believe the
Institute is one in every way deserving; we
know that it lias accomplished a world of good;
and if the Ilerali can increase Its sphere of
usefulness by speaking of it in terms of com
mendatiom it will gladly do so.
About the time lhe enterprise was in
augurated, in February, 1814, a
Herald reporter was commissioned
to obtain some items relative to it. The
proposition to establish a Surgical Institute in
a city which could boast of a physician or two
to every square seemed the height of temerity,
and we must confess we did not feel sanguine
as to its future. Its usefulness, if successful,
promised to be extraordinary, however. It
would bring in reach of those possessed of on
ly ordinary means the hope—nay the prospect
or certainty of cure at a minimum expense,
ami so we bade God-speed to the enterprise.
At Indianapolis, some years ago, a similar en
terprise had been inaugurated. It had feught
its way onward and upward by
SHEER FORCE OF MERIT,
it had made for itself a national reputation,
and its doors were thronged by men, women
and children from every State. Its success
was unprecedented in the annals of phj'sicsor
surgery, and as its fame became more and
more wide reaching so did its prosperity, and
its Gonductorswere led torealize the necesity ol
establishing branches that should offer every
advantage to the parent Institute and yet be
more available to those most needing such
services as it was so competent to render.
In accordance with tlie policy thus trained
by the “logic of events”—a logic as unanswer
able as unassailable, the Atlanta branch ol
the National Surgical Institute was formed.
Its' directors were men! of large minds—men
who could and did “take hostage of the future”
—m on who were skillful as surgeons and as
physicians,—men who had given careful study
to th <3 laws of form and deformity, to health
and s/ckness, men who were willing to wait,it
need b-e, and to triumph while waiting. The
Institute was thus established.
But the lame, the halt and the blind must
needs be- attracted. Their attention must
needs be called. This could only be done in
one efficient way, and that was by calling to
the physici.ut’s and surgeon’s aid the assist
ance of the
mokern tai.ismanic ward,
printer’s ink. It was used—was used wisely
and yet profusely, and the result was an almost
endless application for treatment from persons
of low and high degree. The physicians ol this
and other cities gave tlieir cordial endorse
ment to the enterprise—patients Hocked hith
erward from every Southern State, and as a
proof of the grand success which has attended
the enterprise, and that has justitied its found
ers we may state that at this writing, May 6,
the patients now under treatment number
twelve hundred. Many of these are at their
homes—they have, for a longer or shorter time,
been at the Institute—they have received such
treatment or been furnished such appliances
as were required, and they are now at home,
where Time and Nature are perfecting a cure.
In this city alone more than one hundred are
thus under treatment at their homes. Indeed,
it has been the policy of the Institute to relieve
the patient of the expense attendant upon
personal presence to as great a degree as pos
sible, —it policy that alone would commend it
to the right thinking man. The Institute has
performed
incalculable good
in effecting cures of scores upon scores ot be
' i lore, thought hopeless cases. This is a good
tasilv appreciable. There is another leature
winected with its policy, however, that we
c never seen mentioned and that is that the
ha and surgeons in charge resort to
ph\ as little as possible. We are glad
medi. = c le this fact, especially lor the

after a careful examination
the simple truth will be told '\ hC cure
or not (in all human probability) a cure
can be effected. If not, the patient will
I I dlsm/ssed; if probable, appliances es
uOt'ialiy adapted to that individual case
1 be designed by the attending surgeon
1 and man, ifactured in the Institute. No
| patent api diauces axe used; the patient is
not called upon to purchase this, that or the
other patent truss or brace, but lie or she
is provided with one designed expressly
for his or her individual case, and this is
true of all the patients that require the aid
of mechanical surgery. If Medicines are
resorted to as little as possible the knife is
used less, and ttie effort evidently is to save
rather than destroy, to build up rather than to
tear down.
As far as possible, patients are accommo
dated with board and lodging in the Insti
tute. Dormitories are provided for about
one hundred; the rooms are airy and clean
and have a homelike appearance; the dining
room is that of a good hotel; the reception,
consultation, operating and bathing rooms,
the gymnasium, factory, and, in brief every
department seems complete, and so much of
the Institute as comes under the sway of the
matron, Mrs. Doutin, reflects credit upon her
housewifely qualities.
The Institute is not a moneyless one, risking
its all upon a single venture, and ready at any
moment to ‘‘fold up its tent like the Arab and
as silently steal away.” In the commercial re
ports it is quoted at
FIVE HUNDRID THOUSAND DOLLARS,
a princely sum, and, although we are tell
ing tales out of school, it is none the less the
fact that the “chief” of the enterprise, Dr. Al
len, is a millionaire. The staff of surgeons
and physicians in attendance, too, is com
prised of gentlemen whose reputation, so
cially and professionally, is sawpeur ft tan*
rtproache. We name them: Drs. G. W.
Handy, K. 11. Bowland, Win. 11. Turner and
J. G. AUensworth, educated gentlemen and
physicians, and recognized as such b/ the peo
ple and the press.
To conclude we copy the closing paragraph
of an article referring to the Institute pub
lished in the Herald Wednesday, Dec.
23, 1874. It was true then; is true
now:
“WI ENDORSE THEM HEARTILY.
The Herald feels that it has done Atlan
ta and the State of Georgia no more sig
nal service than it has done by proclaim
ing the excellence of this Institution. It
lias brought hundreds upon hundreds of pa
tients to the city, and has sent them
away cured, to bless Atlanta as long as they
live.
The several editors of this paper frequent*
ly received private letters, asking if we per
sonally endorse this Institution, and if we
know whereof we write. We answer all such
inqiries, here publicly—we do, heartilv,
as journalists and as men, col'ectively
and seperately, endorse the Atlanta Sur
gical Institute as an Institution of thor
ough probity; of wealth mid character; of
absolute integrity and truth; and the une
qualled facilities for the treatment of paraly
tics, rheumatics, crijiples, Ac. We have
been through its several departments num
bers of times; have conversed with scores of
its patients in all stages of treatment; have
read scores of certificates, returned voluntari
ly to the Institute from grateful people it has
cured
We hence do know whereof wc speak,
and we feel sure that wc can carry no bet
ter Christmas present into any house-hold
where there is a person afflicted as is
above mentioned, than to carry the infor
mation which we have given in these
columns. ”
