AMERICAN CYCLOPAEDIA.
New Revised Edition.
Entirely rewritten by the ablest writers on every
subject. Printed from new tyde, and illustrat-
. sd with Several Thousand Engravings and

The work originally published under the title
of The Now American Cyclopaedia was completed
in 1863, since which time the wide circulation it
has attained in all parts of the United States, and
the signal developments .which, have taken place in
every branch of science, literature, and art, have
induced the editors and publishers to submit it to
an exact and thorough revision, and to issue a
new edition entitled The American Cyclop2b-
dia.
Within the last ten years the progress of dis
covery in every department of knowledge has
made a new work of- reference an imperative

the following facts:
On the 25th of July, 1871, one A.S.
"Whiton, of New York, received under
order from Gov. Bullock, on the
Fourth National Bank, 3100,000 in
Georgia gold bonds. In receiving
these bonds from the bank, Whiton
was the agent’of H. X. Kimball, al
though it does not appear that this
fact was known to the officers of the
bank when the bonds were delivered
to him (Whiton). Document's in the

in the plunder of the State is in the
possession of the authorities, Ue is
not molested by the officers of tlie
law.
It will be remembered that on Sun
day last we called attention to Mr.
Kimball’s singular omission of all men
tion of the bonds held by J. Boorman
Johnson & Go., of New York. We
now piopTse to show where ha got
those bonds from, and to demonstrate
that life was guilty of deliberate fraud
upon the State.
1. The bonds given to Mr. Kim
ball, on account of the purchase of
•tlie capitol building, were 8250,000 of
currency bonds, issued under the> act
of 27th of August, 1870. These bonds
were issued for temporary purposes
only, to be used as collateral, and he
was not allowed to sell them. He subse
quently received 3250,000 regular gold
quarterly bonds, in payment for -the
capitol building, and agreed, to retu'rn'
tbe currency bonds, received as above
seated, to the treasury, cancelled. Sis
written agreement to this effect is now
in the Executive Department. Hav-
ng obtained these bonds, Mr. Kim
ball, in October, 1870, hypothecated
3120,000 of them to J. B lorman John
son & Co., to cover a loan • of 384,000.
On the 3d of August, 1S71, he re-hy
pothecated the same bonds ns security
for an extension of tlie loan. The
above facts appear from records in »lie
Executive office, and also from testi
mony published in the report of the
committee on the official conduct of
Governor Bullock.
Under date of March 20, 1871, Kim
ball wrote to Bullock from New York,
as follows;
“I have the pleasure to iuform you
that, the lithographed bonds of the
State, given to bo used temporarily as
collateral while the regular engraved
gold bonds were being prepared and
issued, have now been exchanged,
and ■ tlie. lithographed bondo’ turner
over to Messrs; Henry Clews & Co.,
financial, agents of the State, for can
cellation and return to you.”'
The lithographed bonds referred to
in this letter were the same as the cur
rency bonds above-mentioned;'and the

Kimball, and that afterwards, as the
agent of H. L Kimball, or of H. L
Kimlm.il & Co., he pledged the bonds
with the New York Loan
and Trust Company, as security for a
loan of 375,000. So while Mr. Kim
ball did not receive these bonds in
propriv matter, lie did receive them
through his agent, and appropriate
them to his own rise, or tff the use of

turn, was not true, as lie (Kimball)
well knew. As appears fr©m the fore
going' statement, 8120,000 of these
bonds, instead of being returned to
Clews & Co., for cancellation, were, a
short time after the date Kimball’s
letter to Bullock,, pledged by the f or.
mer to J. Boorman Johnson & Co., as
security tor the loan of OS4,000. The
same bonds were re-pledged to that
firm by Kimball in August following,
and are still in its hands—a claim
against the State of Georgia.
The ambnnt -received by Kimball
on account of the purchase of the
Opera House stands as follows;
8120.000 currency bonds of the
State, unredeemed, tu the hands of J.
Boorman Johnson & Co.
5250.000 gold quarterly bonds of
the State.
8130.000 city of Atlanta bonds.
860.000 unredeemed mortgage upon
the building, in favor of the North
western Life Insurance Company.
§54,000 advances by Governor Bol
lock to Kimball, to enable him to fin
ish the building.
These items foot np the sum of 8614,-

ed the settlement of the mortgage in
favor of the Northwestern Life Insti
ranee Company: Deducting this,
leaves 8554,000 which the capitol
building will cost the State, including
the bonds in the handj of J. Boorman
Johnson & Oo.; which, it is believed
by many, the State will finally he
obliged to redeem. The contract
price for the capitol Was 8350,000,
8250,000 of which was to be paid in
State bonds, and 8100,000 in bonds of

Tricks and Traps.
A one-legged soldier walking up
the Bowery yesterday was accosted by
a clothing merchant with the usual
“Sell-you something to-day5” Enter
ing the store the veteran was invited
to inspect the large stock, but having
looked through the array of coats and
vests and trousers,. he turned to go,
saying that he saw nothing there that
would suit him.
: “Veil, vat yon vauts?”
“I want a pair of one-legged pan
taloons?”
“Vos dat all? Yucob bring me one
of dem one legged gray pants, on dot
pile in de corner.”
In a few minntes Jacob returned
and reported that the last pair had
been sold.
Meanwhile the partner next door,
who had been listening through the
thin partition, had mapped out a plan
ol campaign against the one-legged
cripple;
Yohn,” he whispered to an atten
dant, “cut me off de leg of one of
dem gray pants. Send him up
quick ”
By the time this had been done the
soldier had hobbled out of the first
store only to be inveigled into the
-second. Again he went through the
inspection of odds and ends and again
demanded one-legged trousers, inti
mating that he didn’t believe the trade
had them.
Not hiif one-legged pants! Fad-
der Moses, vat you take me for?—
Yohn bring me one of dem one-legged
gray pants in dot pile in tbe back of
de shtore.”
The ni w’y filtered trousers were pro
duced and the waggish soldier gave
himself up as lost. But as he spread
them before him‘he became conscious,
as did the dealer, of something
wrong.
- “Mien Gott ! ! Fadder Abraham !
John! you haf ruin me! You haf cut
off de wrong leg!”
This was probably the same dealer
who was called upon by a yonng man
for a coat. A fit was made in due
time, and then came, the haggling
about the price. First twenty dollars
was fixed, and then the; clothier aba
ted dollar after doHiiil ’fighting his
way inch by inch, until at length be
had offered the garment at eight dol
lars.
“Do yon think I’m made, of mon
ey?” asked the young man indignant
ly as he turned to depart.
-1 “Sav, yon come pack! I sell yon
dot coat if. cost me a leg. Vot yon
gif for him, say now?” ^
“I’ll give too two dollars.’
“Two dollars! Vy, df ; buttons is
more wort as dat! Spblit de difrance
make it twenty shillings!” jf
“No. I'll give von two dollars.
“Yell, take him! It was a.pooty
coat. You give me two and a quar
ter, eh?” ,,
! Producing the two dollars, the
youBg man moved away wita his pur
chase; but as be reached the door he
heard the dealer exclaim, with v lifted
bands: _ . ii JPS
“Gott help me! .1 only make me
dollar on dot coat!”
Another of the Chatham street dea
ers had wliat he called army brogans
and cavalry boots. An ex-soldier pur
chased a pair of the latter one rainy
day, but returned to the store within
a few minutes, complaining that the
soles were of pasteboard and had al
ready soaked to a pulp.
“Vot you vds done mit dem boots/

We ask ihese gentlemen, in all se-
riousness, how dare-they to compro
mise the citizens of Atlanta before
the people of Georgia, and before the
entire country, by so ill-considered an
act of weakness as this? It is their
right to imperil their own reputations,
if they will; but they are derelict ii.*
their duty as citizens when they rec
ommend to the government the en
trusting of money into the hands of a
man whose character for dishonesty
is notorious, and who is only free
from the chain-gang because of the
inefficiency of our laws.
What has H. L Kimball done for
Atlanta that respectable men should
be found endorsing him? Is it be
cause he plundered the State and city_
of thousands of dollars, and built the
Capitol and the Kimball House with
the proceeds of his plunder? ; If this
is the real reason, then the signers of
this petition seek deliberately to plnce
the people of Atlanta in the attitude
of’accessories to Kimball’s dishonesty;
for, if we are to endorse him because
he lias invested tlie proceeds of his
robberies here, then we are as corrupt
as he is, and as guilty of his thefts
as he is. It is an old saying: ‘‘The
receiver is 'as' bad as the- thief.”
We say it deliberately aud -riuliesi -
fittingly that the''Kimball House and
Capitol, and allMhe money spent to
build them, are so many evidences of
our shame. They are monuments
commemorative of the day when-
Georgia lay bound and at the mercy
of thieves and scoundrels. But for
the robberies perpetrated by Bollock,
Kimball and the rest of the Radical
thieves, they never could have been
built. Is the heritage of shame
which they embody the reason why
we must endorse H. I: Kimball for a
position under the Government?
Shame, shame! This petition is a
damning shame and disgrace to the
people of Atlanta. In the name of a
great majority of our citizens we ut
terly repudiate it. The persons who
have signed it do not' represent the
views and sentiments of fonr-fifths of
the wealth, the intelligence, and the
honesty of this city. Their signa
tures represent tlieir individual act,
and that ect is in defiance of the will
of the people.
Why was it necessary to bring Mr.
Kimball from his needle factory in
'Massachusetts to superintend the
building of a Custom House here?—
Are there not dozens of. honest men
in our midst quite as capable cf su
perintending it? If a gentleman af
filiating with the Republican party is
necessary for the work, is there not
more than one upright, honest Re
publican in Atlanta, quite as capable
of doing the work? ' Why not petition
for the appointment of a man like Mr.
Markham, or Major George Chamber-
Republican in good standing?
We warn the gentlemen who have
signed this petition that neither --their
wealth nor their social standing will
protect them from the responsibility
of tbeir act. ’l’liey cannot pat in a
plea of ignorance, because they are
well aware that the charges brought
against Kimball are founded on evi
dence now on file in the Executive
Department of the- State. It is for
tnnate for this; city that an over
whelming majority of our best citi
zens positively refused to sign the,
petition, not a few of them accompa
nying the declination with tolerably
emphatic expressions of opinions con
cerning Mr. Kimball’s character.—
The handful of well known and prom
inent citizens who have been persua
ded into signing it will deeply regret
their weakness before long. They
will find that it is easier to make a
false stop than repair a blunder.—At-

“Liverpool, 31th July 1874.”,
There are two important points sug
gested 1 y this letter on the condition
of the market for American cotton in
Great Briiiah:
First. *The wn‘er assumes—al
though with an expresso l doubt as to
correctness of the assninption —that
the new crop of cotton will amount to
four millions, of bales. In respect to
this it -is' piily .necessary to -repeat
what we said, on Saturday, ih it the
area of laud planted this year with
cotton is ten per cent lees than Inst
year, aiid that few or no fertilizers
have been used this year, so that, nn
der the most favorable conditions as
to weather and natural enemies of the
cotton plant, it does not appear to be
possible that tlie now cropeau amount
to more than three millions of bales.
The incorrectness of the assumption
increases the strength of the writer’s
argument against a further decline in
the prices of cotton, and brings bis
conclusion in a still closer agreement
with onr own.
Second. It ought to be tlie eanse’of
general regiet that it is in ‘lie power
of a handful of speculative gentlemen
who buy what they do not want-and
sell what they have not. got, to lower
•by ficticioas means .the price of the
great agricutnral staple of the.South
ern States and to depress trade in the
principal cotton market of the world.
It is true that these artificial combi-
nations must giye way when the pre
cise amount of the new cropikgenerally
known, because, trade, like water inva
riably finds its level; but ii the mean
time the approaching autumn trade
in all commodities which find a mar
ket in.the Southern States is seriously
threatened by this forced and unreas
onable,but partly'successful effort to
lower the price of, cotton. A month
lost at the beginning of the general,
antnmn trade, added to' the wide
spread depression undei which all
business has struggled during the
s iring aid- snmmer, cannot be re-
gaiued; even if, in -October or No-
lin, or Mr. J. C. Peck, or any other. vem ijer, t-he priee of cotton should ad
vance to twenty-five cents a .pound.
As long, however, as betting on the
price of cotton is regarded as an hon-
orable occupation, so long there is
little use in protesting, whether it be
in the name of -the planters of the
Sonrthern States or in the name of
the merchants and trades.peoplo of

Mrs. L. has lived five years, a soli
tary, one excepti m to the rule of
wives and mothers-in-law. Her grief
was great when some fell disease re
moved her lord and master’s female
progenitor, dear old Mrs. L! Young
Mrs. L. was inconsolable. The old
lady-had fi ve and a half feet of splen
did rosewood casket, sixty-one feet of
impressive Episcopal service, and
half a mile of funeral procession, and
a daughter in-law’s regrets of unusual
size. Some years ago Mrs. L. lost
some piece's of silver, and, suspecting
a servant, dismissed her. Eveiy now
and then articles of value disappeared,
and, one after the other, servants
were accuspd and sent adrift charac
terless. In one or two instances she
was about to prosecute, but mother-
in-law L. advised differently.
Admitting their guilt was incon
testable, she still thonght it best not to
bother, and yonng Mrs. L , easily in-
flueDced, yielded.

v. An Educated Goat.
There .is an old goat in Detroit
which, has received a great deal of
training from the boys. Last Fourth
of July they discovered that if they
stuck a fire-cracker in . the . end of ; a
cane and held it at William, he wonkl
lower his head and go for them, and.
they have practised the trick so mncli,
that the goat will tackle any human
being who points a stick at him. A
few. days ago he was loafing near the
corner of Third and Lewis streets,
when a corpulent citizen came np and
stopped to talk with a friend. They
happened' to speak of the side-walk,
when the coipulent citizen pointed his
caue to tbe left of the goat and said,
“That is the _ worst piece of side-walk
in this town.” The goat had been
eyeing the cane, and the moment it
came up he lowered his head, made
six or eight jnmps and his bead struck:
the .corpulent gentleman on the belt.
The man went over into a mass of old
tin, dilapidated blitter-kegs and aban
doned hoop skirts, and the goat turned
a somersault the other way, while the
slim-citizen threw stones at a small
pby L seatcd' on. a ;door-step, and who
was langhingjiears as big as chesnrits
and crying ont: “Oh ! it’s ndff to kill
a feller!”
A ter t e - States is greater-than-
the iror product.- The following
8‘atistics-will be of interest: Dnring
the year 1870 there Were in the Uni
ted States 4,237 tanners and 3.0S2 ertr
lying establishments, employing 30,-
811 men, and using 255,350 cords of
bark. A capital of 855,024,390 was
invested in the business, and the ng-
gate slim of 512,088,430 was paid as
wages to workmen. The valne of the
product exceeded 8286,000,000, while
the value of the iron business was less
than 8100,000,000, of the cotton man
ufacturers less than 178,000,000. To
a greater extent than most other arti
cles, leather when worn' ont, is an ab
solute loss, as it cannot be utilized: to
any great extent. Iron and most of
other articles above mentioned, when
worn ont, are utilized and perform
important’functions in the economy
of uses.
