A Mr. Jas. R. Crowe, of Pulaski, Tenn. writes
to the Probate Judge of Limestone county,
that he saw Leatherwood, the revenue officer,
who was supposed to have been murdered near
Gadsden, Ala., in W r aco, Texas. One of our
devils suggests that probably Leatherwood
killed the man whose oody was found in the
Coosa, put blood on his saddle and turned his
horse loose for a blind, and then slipped off to
Texas, Rome papers endorse Mr. Crowe, but
would be glad to hear more Irom him on the
subject.

After all his dirty work in the Beecher-Til

the great gun, bags five times that amount—
s2s,ooo. Brother Shearman, who prayed so loud
and so long for Beecher, whom he pronounced
infallible, also had to put up with $5,000, while
Porter got $15,000. Those who did the dirtiest
work got the least money. It was ever thus.

A wealthy man died some months
ago. Some of his heirs were slight

ground of unsound mind on the part

advertising. The court remarked:
“We need look no further for proof
of this man’s sound judgment.” And
the court was right.
The Press Association was most

contains water so cold, that his
friends charged him with placing
a ton or two of ice in it,in anticipation
of our visit.
The peach crop of Delaware, Mary
land and New Jersy is now estimated
at ten million baskets. All the crops
are magnificent. Nature seems to be
exerting herself in the first season of
the centennial period. Some of the
papers say that they have failed to
find a solitary paragraph in all their
exchanges that speak in unfavorable
terms of the growing crops. The
season is absolutely perfect, and the
man who is not grateful for good
crops in times like these, deserves a
touch of starvation.
There is no necessity.for Georgians
to go away from home to enjoy scenes
of grandeur, magnificence and beau
ty. On the occasion of the late Press
excursion, we were accompanied by
gentlemen who had traveled exten
sively over this continent as well as
over Europe—including the entire
length and breadth of that romantic
country, Switzerland—and their
unanimous opinion was that nowhere
can be found more grandly magnifi
cent views than can be found in the
four miles of Tallulah Falls. The
only drawback to the visit to Tallu
lah is the want of facilities for ladies
and persons of advanced age—a3 in
the case of our own individual self—
to get to the different points. A few
dollars judiciously expended in the
neighborhood and on the road
from Toccoa City, would make this
a place of much attraction, exceeding,
we have no doubt, Niagara itself
which it surpasses in beauty and
picturesqueness. The landlord of the
hotel there, Col. W. D. Young, is cer
tainly a most excellent hotel keeper,
and we would respectfully suggest to
him that a few improvements, such
as would naturally present themselves
to him—notably, making a pair of
steps down the face of that slippery
rock near Idian arrow rapids, with a
rope to aid the visitor in deeending;
putting in the falls just in the rear of
his house a large sized hydraulic ram
to throw up a stream of water in front
of his house, as a grand fountain in
place of the beautiful small one which
he has there now, would greatly in
crease the flow of visitor to his already
attractive place. We were told by
parties at Toccoa City, that many
persons, who desired to do so, were
deterred from visiting Tallulah
Falls, for this reason. There is at
Tallulah, as we have found in all
places at which we have been in
North Georgia, the most delightful
ice-cold water, but grandeur and pic
turesqueness are the attractions of this
particular point,and,in the event that
we could without fatiguing our
self almost to death to do it, we
would try another sight of the won
ders and beauties of the falls of The
Terrible, as we believe would a great
many more.
A suggestion to the grasshopper
districts. In 1670 there was a plague
of caterpillars in Auvergne, and by
order of the Bishop, a legal document
was made out calling on the caterpil
lars to appear in court before him,
and requiring them, under pain of
excommunication, to leave the coun
try. A recent English writer on
travels assures the skeptical that the
original document may be seen in
the library at Clermont. The prac
tical difficulty in the way of applying
this plan to the Western States would
be that, in a region which has fifty
religions and only one gravy, the in
fluence of religion has been so subdi
vided that one Bishop single-handed,
could hardly overawe one grasshop
per. Fifty Bishops might accom
plish something,but it is to be feared
it is too late. The grasshoppers are
naturalized and have acquired the
natural vice of irreverence.
The German girls, who were re
cently recovered from the Indians
and sent to Fort Leavenworth, are
having their little disappointments.
It seems that charitably inclined peo
ple have contributed quite a sum of
money for the education and benefit
of the girls, and has chosen Agent
Miles, of the Indian agency, as their
guardian. When they were sent to
the fort, Miles, sent with them a let
ter to General Pope, introducing
them as his wards, and informing
him that provision had been made
to send them to school at Lawrence.
Pope tore up the letter and said that
he recognized no authority in the
matter higher than his own. The
Topeka Blade says the supposition
is that he wishes to retain control
over them for a purpose which were
well not to mention to ears polite.
A whole year, says the Philadel
phia Press , is to-day completed since
Charlie Ross was stolen away, and
yet in despite of the energy and
intelligence, backed by an un
limited supplj ot money, displayed
in searching for him, he is to-day
more surely lost than he was twelve
months ago, for then the scent was
hot, while now it is cold. A nation
has been baffled by the cunning of two
wicked men and their accomplices,
and it has been proven that a crime
of the blackest hue may be commit
ted and may go unpunished in the
full light of what we deem to be the
highest civilization which the world
has ever known.
It appears to be conceded that the
commissioners appointed to settle the
bankrupt affairs of the Freedman’s
bank are doing, or affecting to do,
their best for the outraged depositors.
But they can do nothing. For real
estate there is no market, the collat
erals are so nearly worthless as not to
be converted into anything represent
ing money, and the property they
have is covered nearly to its actual
value by mortgages. There is but
one way by which to reimburse the
swindled blacks, and that is for the
loyal philosophers who induced them
to put their money into the hole to
pass around the hat.
The Athens Watchman whishes to
correct an error which, it is sorry to
see,is widespread among the Georgia
press. The Watchman says: “We
know of no reason why the Univer
sity should be called a decaying in
stitution. We can see no evidences of
decay, but on the other hand can
safely aver that at no time within
the past thirty years has it been do
ing so much to advance the educa
tional interests of the State as within
the past two or three years. Why
there should be such a persistent ef
fort made to create a contrary belief,
we are unable to divine.”

MANUFACTURING PROGRESS IN THE
SOUTH.
The New York Bulletin heartily
rejoices over the fact that scarcely a
Southern paper comes to hand w ith
out some notice or argument for the
encouragement of the establismeut
of various manufactures in this sec
tion. Georgia has made the greatest
advance in cotton manufacture, but
other States are fast imitating it, and
there is good prospect lor a consider
able number of cotton yarn mills be
ing established the coming season.
These can be established with a mod
erate expense, within the reach of
home capital. At the same time, they
afford employment to labor, a de
mand for residences and furnish new
business to the merchant,by which all
classes of industries and property are
improved. The development of Geor
gia’s iron mines are also receiving
much attention, and the effort recent
ly made to open up a European mar
ket for pig iron was sufficiently suc
cessful to warrant the belief that a re
munerative market can be found
there. Alabama,Tennessee and Ken
tucky have, however, advanced more
rapidly than Georgia in this branch
of manufacture, and the quality of
their ore and iron is such as to give
much promise of the future Southern
iron industries. This disposition on
the part of our people to increase
their production of manufactured
goods as w T ell as of raw products, can
not fail to have an important influ
ence on their prosperity before long.
Instead of one resource—cotton—it is
developing a great variety of re
sources upon which they can rely in
case of the failureof their staple crop.
It is thus augmenting their surplus
for shipment and decreasing in a still
greater ratio their imports for home
consumption of both food and manu
ufactured goods.
THE BEECHER-TILTON BUSINESS.
The morning papers are all filled
with elaborate reports of the Beech
er jury disagreement,and with inter
views with the j urors and others. All
reports agree with the statement sent
in these dispatches yesterday, fixing
the status of the jury, nine to three
in favor of Beecher’s acquittal. The
question of re-opening the case is as
yet in abeyance, the parties interest
ed on both sides agree in stating that
nothing will be done this summer.
Tilton says he has not yet deter
mined upon his future course.
Should anew trial commence, he
will employ other counsel, being of
the opinion that should the present
counsel again act, it would savor of
malice toward Beecher on their part.
Tilton says he is seriously thinking
of having Tracy arrested and indict
ed for perjury, in gaining his confi
dence and then joining Beecher’s
counsel. The plaintiff is engaged in
some literary work, on which he ex
pects to devote himself assiduously
for the summer. He receives letters
daily offering financial aid to re-open
the trial. The Herald, under the
caption of “The Country’s Verdict,”
publishes letters from New Orleans,
Milwaukee, Desmoines, Chicago, St.
Louis,, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, At
lanta, Ga., Charleston, Raleigh,N.C.,
Richmond, Philadelphia and New
Haven, giving the opinion of lawyers
and clergy of the various States on
the question of Beecher’s guilt, and
deducts the following result: Of one
hundred and seventeen lawyers, six
ty-nine believe him guilty, thirty
two not guilty, eight in doubt or
non-committal, and eight consider
him guilty of indiscretion only. Of
fifty-four clergymen, seven express
belief in his guilt, twenty-six say not
guilty, ten in doubt or non-commit
tal and eleven guilty of indiscretion.
Editorially the Herald the result
of the trial proves at least that all the
lawyers of the country have been un
able to convince the jury of twelve
commonplace men that the Plymouth
pastor is innocent; And, on the oth
er hand, the plaintiff’s lawyers have
failed to satisfy the jury that the of
fence charged had been committed.
The Times devotes over eight col
umns to a general review of the case,
its origin, charges made and answers
thereto, and the circumstances gen
erally surrounding them. The 'Times
has neither pity nor respect for Tilton
and expresses contempt for Mrs. Til
ton, but considers that facts tell heav
ily against Beecher.
The Tribune thinks, considering
every thing, that Tilton had a very
narrow escape from falling into an
abyss of ruin and infamy,to save him
from which his counsel have been
fighting, while Beecher’s friends
have reason to regard the end of the
trial as a substantial justification of
the confidence they reposed in him.
—Press Dispatch.
The following correspondence has
taken place in relation to the indict
ment for libel found on the testimony
of Mr. Beecher against Francis D.
Moulton.
MR. MOULTON’S LETTER.
Sir: It is now nearly a year since,
at the instance of Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher, I was indicted for libel in
charging him with adultery with
Elizabeth R. Tilton.
During all this time, the prosecu
tion have taken no step for the trial
of the indictment. lam ad vised that
I have a right to demand a trial, and
accordingly I hereby notify you that
I am ready at any moment to meet
the charge, and I request you to ap
point the earliest practical day for the
trial. And since it is intimated by
the partisans of the prosecutor that
they intend to shield him from the
consequences of the exposure involv
ed in the trial of my charge of adul
tery by procuring a withdrawal or
suppression of the indictment, I here
by protest against such an evasion of
public justice and outrage upon pri
vate right. If the Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher be innocent of the charge I
have published against him, I ought
to be punished for my offense.
On the other hand, if I have not
accused him falsely and he were
guilty of the offense, society and the
law owe me an acquittal and vindi
cation from the indictment preferred
against me. Very respectfully,
Francis D. Moulton.

THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S REDLY.
Office of Dis’t. Attorney Kings County, )
ROOM NO. 3, COUNTY COURT-HOUSE, V
Bkooklyn, July 8, 1875. )
F. D. Moulton, Esq.— Doar Sir:
The contents and character of the
publication relating to the Beeclier-
Tilton controversy for the past year
have been such that I am inclined to
think that in case 1 am called upon to
prosecute criminally every libel
which has been published in connec
tion with it, the more important ad
ministration of the criminal law will
of necessity stand over lor the next
half century.
It is among the misfortunes of the
civil courts that parties may there in
dulge in all manner of quarrels and
exploits, natural or artificial, at their
will; but courts of criminal jurisdic
tion are moved only by the people
and for the people of the State. In
this hot weather jail cases like those
of Loader and Price have the prefer
ence, as it regarded a greater hard
ship for parties not yet proved guilty
to sweat in Raymond-st. than to suf
fer from libellous publications.
It would afford me the greatest
pleasure to try you for any offense
coming within the severer duties of
the Summer months, but it is out of
my pow’er to indulge you in what
you seem to regard as a luxury. La
ter on, I may be able to accommodate
you to your entire satisfaction, and
then you may have reason to rejoice
that the ordeal had not taxed your
energies and fortitude during the
heated term.
Very respcctiully,
Winchester Britton,
Attorney General.
Judging from the insolent tone of
District Attorney Britton’s reply it
would be no great stretch of pre
sumption to suspect that the money
of the Plymouth congregation is not
all devoted to defraying the expenses
of the trial that has just ended in no
verdict.
DIFFERENCE in opinions.
Speaking dispassionately, it seems
to us that Mr. Beecher has the better
of the case as it stands now. Tilton
has failed to substantiate his charges
before a jury of his countrymen. He
gets no damages. A large majority
of thejury are against him. It is he,
not Beecher who must “step down
and out.” He has simply succeeded
in making himself notorious —that is
all. Hereafter he will be a man with
out family and without character.
His revenge is not satisfied, and it is
doubtful if it ever will be. Probably
he does not possess enough of the
world’s wisdom to get out of sight.
He may endeavor to trade upon the
bad notroiety which he has obtained
—but his success in respect w T ili be
short lived. —Albany Press.
We cannot discredit this the testi
mony of Mrs Moulton, of Mr. Moul
ton, or several others who appeared
for the plaintiff. They had no motive
to lie. Beecher had the strongest
possible motive to do so, and so great
is the temptation in such cases that
it has been the general policy of the
law to exclude the testimony of those
similarly accused. The general senti
ment of the country will remain
where it has been for some time,
pretty strongly fixed in theconviction
of Beecher’s guilt. —Louisville Cou
rier Journal.

Fitzhugh Lee thus speaks of the
reception accorded the Southerners
at Boston and Bunker Hill:
Do you know what all that means ?
It means at that end of the line pre
cisely what the outpouring of your
people at this end of the line to meet
us on our return means, viz.: That
the people of this country have
taken this matter of reconstruction
out of the hands of the politicians;
the crust which separated them has
been broken at last, and the men of
North and South are at last allowed
to see each other face to face.
The Macon Telegraph says that
seventeen years ago Mr. A. B. Strip
ling, of Jones county,put a small
catfish in his well. The fish is still
there, hearty and active, undisturbed
in its life of seclusion, a perfect mon
arch of the waters, subsisting
as best it can, upon what fate throws
in its way. Whenever the well is
cleaned out the fish is removed, and
a square meal is given to it, and then
he is returned to his hermitage, and
to all appearances is as happy and
content as though he had the liberty
of the Oemulgee, While he is ap
parently in fine health, he has
grown very little in the seventeen
years of his veteracy.
A NOBLE ENTERPRISE!
Atlanta Surgical Institute.
Some Facts Concerning It.
In this double sheet of the as the
caption to the leading article shows, it is our
design to present facts relative to the city and
its most prominent interests, ot whatever kind
they be. llerahl reporters have, for weeks,in
terviewed bankers and jobbers and manutac
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
brancti 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
been bored with innumerable questions apro
pos and malapropos; they have 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 has required large sums of
money and boundless confidence to establish,
and professional skill ol 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
ami conlidencc.
Possibly what we may write concerning this
Institute may prove but a
“THRICE TOLI) TALE,”
indeed we 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 has accomplished a world of good;
and if the HeratJ, can increase its sphere of
usefulness by speaking of it in terms of com
mendatiom it will gladly do so.
About the time the enterprise was in
augurated, in February, 1874, 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 ot on
ly ordinary means the hope—nay the prospect
or certainty of cure at a minimum expense,
and so we bade Go<l-specd to the enterprise.
At Indianapolis, some years ago, a similar en
terprise had been inaugurated. It had fought
its way onward and upward by
SHEEK FoKCE OF MERIT.
it hail mailo lor itself a national reputation,
anil its doors were thronged by men, women
and children from every State. Its success
was unprecedented in the annals of physics cr
surgery, and as its fame became more and
more wide reaching so did its prosperity, and
its oonductorswere led torealize the necesity of
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 rentier.
In accordance with the policy thus framed
by the “logic of events”—a logic as unanswer
able as unassailable, the Atlanta branch of
the National Surgical Institute was formed.
Its directors were men? of large minds—men
who could and did “take hostage of the future”
—men who were skillful as surgeons and as
physicians,—men who had given careful study
to the laws of form and deformity, to health
and sickness, men who were w illing to wait,if
need be, and to triumph while waiting. The
Institute was thus established.
Hut the lame, the halt and the blind must
needs lie attracted. Their attention must
needs be called. This could only bo done in
one efficient way, and that was bv calling to
the physician’s and surgeon’s aid the assist
ance of the
MODERN TAI.ISMANIC WAND,
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 r and high degree. The physicians of this
and other cities gave their cordial endorse
ment to the enterprise—patients Hocked hith
erward from every Southern State, ami as a
proof of the grand success which has attended
the enterprise, and that has justified itsfound
ers we may state that at this writing, May 0,
the patients now under treatment number
ticelre 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, —a policy that alone would commend it
to the right thinking man. The Institute has
performed
INCALCULABLE GOOD
in effecting cures of scores upon scores of be
fore, thought hopeless cases. This is a good
easily appreciable. There is another feature
connected with its policy, however, that we
have never seen mentioned and that is that the
physicians and surgeons in charge resort to
medication as little as possible. We are glad
to chronicle this fact, especially for the
benefit of that class who think that even a club
foot cannot be remedied without the potent
aid of physic. Oh, Galen! what wrongs are
perpetrated in thy name!
The Institute finds most of its patients
among those who are afflicted with clubbed
lVet, crooked, stiff knees, hip and spinal
diseases, scrofula, fever sores, hair lips, de
formed face, sore eyes, cross eyes, diseases
of the ear, piles, fistula, tumors, gravel,
diseases of the bones, catarrh, diseases of
the throat, female diseases, private diseases,
paralysis, &c. The greater number ol pa
tients are those requiring the application
of mechanical appliances in order to effect
a cure, and herein lies the especial merit of
the Institute.
A patient suffering from, say lateral cur
vature of the spine presents himself, or herself
for treatment.
AFTER A CAREFUL EXAMINATION
the simple truth will be told as to whether
or not (in all human probability) a cure
can be effected. If not, the patient will
be dismissed; if probable, appliances es
pecially adapted to that individual case
will be designed by the attending surgeon
and manufactured in the Institute. No
patent appliances are used; the patient is
not called upon to purchase this, that or the
other patent truss or brace, but he 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
oi mechanical surgery. If Medicines arc
resorted to as little as possible the knife is
used less, and the 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 tor 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 “Ibid up its tent like the Arab and
as silently steal away.” In the commercial re
ports it is quoted at
FIVE HUNDRED 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 &an* pevr et sane
reproache. We name them: lrs. G. W.
Handy, K. 11. Howland, Win. 11. Turner and
J.C. Allensworth, educated gentlemen and
physicians, and recognized as such by 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, Dee.
23, 1874. It was true then; 'is true
now:
“WE ENDORSE THEM HEARTILY.
The Herald feels that it has done Atlan
ta and the State ol' Georgia no more sig
nal service than it has done by proclaim
ing the excellence of this Institution. It
has brought hundreds upon hundreds of pa
tients to the city, and has sent them
away cured, to bless Atlanta as long as they
1 i ve.
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, collectively
and scperatcly, endorse the Atlanta Sur
gical Institute as an Institution of thor
ough probity; of wealth and character; of
absolute integrity and truth; and the une
qualled facilities for the treatment of paralv
tics, rheumatics, cripples, 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 we speak,
and we feel sure that we can carry no bet
ter Christmas present into any house-hold
where there is a person alflicted as is
above mentioned, than to carry the infor
mation which we have given in these
columns.”
