\Vo publish, tho following extract from
a letter from n prominent gentleman in
Atlanta:
“I sec from thp newspapers that it is
. likely ft convention will be hold in Home
in October, on the opening of tho Coosa.
■I think I can secure a pretty large ut-
tendence from this part of the State.
Get tho Mayor and other prominent ci
tizens to issue a call for the convention
to bo held during the October fair and
invito delegates from all parts of this
State, Alabama, Tennessee and Ken
tucky. I think we can get up a pretty
largo mooting, with tiie Koine Conven
tion, and the big Cheap Transportation
General Convention to ho held at
Chicago in November next. I think
something can bn done with Congress
next winter in the matter of improving
Southern rivers, and facilitating Cheap
Transportation.
We arc happy to stale that the great
and overshadowing questions of interest
to tho city of Iloine and surrounding
country are beginning to attract the seri
ous and earliest attention of bur citizens.
These questions are the improvement of
(air rivers generally and the openii g of
the Coosa particularly and ilie building
of the great "Western and Atlantic
Canal as cheap outlets to the immense
mineral productions of this section,
which are so contiguous to our city ns to
make it tlic chief mart for tho disposition
of these products. Our people are be
ginning to see the great importance of
these in building up not only our little
city, but placing this whole section of
country, so profuse in mineral mid agri
cultural wealth, designed hy nature to
bo one of the richest sections on the
globe, on the advance road of progress.
Not until the people are thus fully and
thoroughly imbued with the determina
tion to" do all they can to secure the aid
of the General Government in tho devel
opment and utilization of these riches,
can wo hope to accomplish the great work
that leads to unbounded success.
The idea of a convention of the repre-'
sentatives of tho cities of Mobile,,Selma,
Montgomery, Wctumpka, Gadsden,
Home and other points interested is a very
important one. Such a convention of
men of ability, with a proper oppreeia-
tion of the importance of the situation,
and the intelligence to group together in
an intellectual form all the facts and ar
guments in favor of the proposed Federal
aid, 1 could bring to bear a moral force
upon Congress that body could not care
lessly ignore. It is to be hoped that the
people all along the line will arouse and
take an active interest in this matter.
A few persons cannot bo expected to
have the influence in Congress that the
body of tho wliolo people interested
would'have if united and acting in con
cert and harmony iu such a matter,
Let the mayors of all the cities inter
ested at ouco call conventions for tho np-
peintment of able delegations to tho con
vention to be held hero in Romo during
our October fair,
•*tV 11, LING II.VM’S BOUItllDN ARMOR.
The Atlanta Herald, of Thursday, in
ono of its brief editorials touching the
celebration of tho Fourth of July,
says:
The Rome Courier has a rousing
good article, showing that sunbeams
nave penetrated even Willingham’s
Bourbon armor, and warmed up his
soul.
Tho love of the principles involved
in the, declaration ot independence arc
those that give to “ Willingham” his in
tense attachment to Bourbon Dernoc
cracy. Tho fourth of July, 1776, was
the birth of American Bourbonism.
On that day were declared to the
world the great principles which un
derlie the'great fabric of free govern
ment—the rights of the people and the
sovereignity of “ free and independent
States.” For these reasons, “ Willing
ham” has ever held the natal day of
American independence in greatest
reverence. No true Bourbon Demo
crat will ever turn his back upon the
“ glorious Fourth,” however much lie
may scorn tho base uses to which the day
haB been used to iurther the schemes
of those who care less for the day and
the principles it commemorates than
for personal and partisan aggrandize
ment and sectional hatred and bitter
ness.
Our nice young niece of the Atlanta
Herald, denies tho charge that s he has
in any manner become a party to a mu
tual admiration society composed of
Bishop Haven,II. I. Kimball and Pres
ident Grant, and says: “ If we were
degraded enough to admire Bishop
Haven and his monstrous doctrines, we
would certainly bo mendacious enough
to deny it.” Our amiable niece, all
so blushing with modesty, is informed
that the question we propounded was
one of genuine friendship—not that
wo believed it, but that wo did not be
lieve it, and as a friend desired the Her
aid to make a square" refutation of so
serious a charge against the virtue of our
lovely niece. • ■
AN Aj.lt .joHii jlAtlSTICl FRIEND,
ills nanio is Siineon A. Atkinson, well!
u in the Kastern part of Georgia,
the editor of tho Augusta- Elen-
imj Dispatch before the war, and of tho.
Southern .Hanna', now the North-East
Georgian, since the war. Ho is at present
contracted with tho ForestamlSlreiwi, New
York city, a new literary paper estab
lished two or three years ago. Atkinson
is one of the best fellows of our acquain
tance and wo should he glad to see him
and set up the beer at any time. “Sim”
is a professional newspaper man. a good
printer and excellent writer. Atkinson
is a native of the “ Granite State,” aiid
tamo South more than a quarter of a cen
tury ago. lie was true to tho land of
his adoption during the late war, mid has
only left it tor pecuniary con idcrations
and not from choice.
Sim” has recently written a letter to
Dr. Ed Newton, which we find published
in tho North-Eaet Georgian. In that let
ter lie says:
Hie most unpleasant incident, or fuel,
in connection with my destiny is, that my
return North has out me oil’iinni the cor-
lial consideration of those among whom
I have spent my life, and to whoso inter
ests and fortunes I was ever sincerely de
voted. 1 know full well, mid dn not, eon-
Icmn them Cor it—for, when a Northern
man leaves the South mid returns North,
ho is considered ns “</ dog retimml to
liis itmnit.” My only hope and- consola
tion is, that there will grow up very rap
idly, under ii new Administration, a
heartg spirit of reconciliation. 1 tell till
my friends hero, that such a spirit can
never grow to any substantial degree un
til they learn to respect the Southern
people ns sincere patriots, fighting for
principle, for home, and never, so long as
they hold them to he wicked rebels need
ing’forgiveness. I was as earnest ill my
scccsh views ns anybody, and while I com
mitted, as events proved, an error of
judgment, I never wrote a line, or enter
tained a Confederate idea, that I shall
over bo sorry for. The trouble is in the
narrow, aggressive, centralizing ideas of
tho average Republican—the essence of
Old Blue Light Federalism—and I don’t
believe there will ever bo any hcarlg
union until they arc crushed out of power
—which God grant.
There are many people in Georgia who
will be glad to see a line from our friend
—for his friends were numerous, especial
ly among the press. We unite with him
most cordially in the lmpc “ that there
will grow very rapidly, under a now ad
ministration, a hcarlg spirit of reconcilia
tion”—for without this spirit, and a re
turn to the old modes of constitutional
government, there can ho no prosperity
for the people of either section. The
North and South must he united, hut they
never will he until the Northern people
shall regard “the Southern people as sin
cere patiiots.”
Judge Wright and •* Witti.es.”—In
stating that our Judge Wright, of Koine,
Will celebrate the “ fourth” at Atlanta
tho Commonwealth says:
Ho has a fondness for barbecues that
condones for any deficiency of patriot
ism and, under the impression that we
will feast our guests upon something
more substantial than oratory, ho de
elares his intention of coming. Wo
will ho glad to welcomo him, albeit
wo shall shall bo sorry to disappoint
him as to tho “ wittles.”
Wo must tell the Commonwealth the
joke on the Judge. Ho made a speech
in favor of prohibition in Rome.
After the speech was made tho J udge
found out the law restricted lager beer,
a daily drink of his nnd which he
greatly enjoys. When he discovered
this ho said if he had known itho would
have made a speech on the other side,
If you don’t give him the “ wittles”
there’s no telling liow lie’ll celebrate
when lio gets to Atlanta.
We publish in this i-stie of Tun Goti-
tin? a lifeline!, ‘'damning mfiir” Front tie
Atlanta Conimnniccidth. A cord from
IT. r. Farrow denies tip! whole tiling,
and an account of an interviewwith Mrs.
Rflsheriy, published in the Herald,
brands the whole story as a fraud gotten
up hy Chap Norris, one of the wor.-.t men
in the State, for political purposes. Mrs.
Rnsberiy says her husband made no such
confessions ns is stated hy the Common
wealth. Wo await the developments.
When the President attended the
Lexington centennial he was wined
and feasted profusely. Since that time,
the New Englanders have been counting
the drinks upon him. This is tho rea
son lie didn’t go to Bunker ILill. it
may be genteel and generous to enter
tain a President, but tho count of his
drinks is a mighty shabby way of dis
pensing hospitality.

The Atlanta Herald's “Aunt Willing

the only relativo Grady has with the

when ho is wrong—to praise him for

We have only endeavored to keep our
sprightly and buxom niece in tho path
of rectitude and virtue. We don
believe she has fallen into the embraces
of Bishop Haven. So believing, we
simply wanted our niece to come out
like a bravo little woman and refuto the
charge that she lias been Beeclierized
by llavcn.
Col. Clarke, of tho Atlanta Constitution,
and Col. Alston, of the Herald, were
to have had a hostile meeting on Thurs
day morning last over in Alabama,
near West Point. Col. Clarke was on
the ground promptly, going from La
Grange where lie delivered a com
mencement address on Wednesday.
Col. Alston left on tho West Point
train Wednesday night, but was arrest
ed as soon as he arrived at West Point
and the meeting did not take place.
We should he glad if a satisfactory set
tlement of tho affair could be made.
The Rome Courier says it will be
lad to receive the first number of Sam-
jard’s paper. And we shall be glad to
receive the last number, brother Will
ingham.—Chronicle and Sentinel.
Wo know it would not be long from
the Jjrst to the last, and so wo just
wanted to see Sam havo a few weeks
of journalistic glory—a thing he enjoys
immensely. And then you sec Bard is

Dear ('ouiiiui: According I
iso, “ we” drop you a few lines from
these justly celebrated Falls, the most
lieautiful, for variety uf scenery, in tin
world. Leaving Romo at fi P. M. on
the lSlh inst., we arrived at Forsyth
about 1 o'clock tho next morning, where
wo were compelled to remain until II
A. M. for tho stage going to Indian
Spring. When wo say that the water
of this Spring is certainly the best
curative agent, for certain diseases, we
ever saw, and when wo add that nature
selected a beautiful spot for its location,
wo say all that can bo said in its favor.
Liko most of our Southern watering
places, there is a great lack of tho neces
sary attributes requisite to “ keep a
hotel” on the part of the.landlords of
Indian Spring. Our stay there was
abruptly terminated when a washer
woman informed us that we could not
possibly get our washing done for less
than fire dollars a week, as there was a
washer woman’s “ union” that regulated
the price—a collar cost as much as a
shirt, one sock was a piece, and so on.
Wo loft the Spring about C A. M.
Wednesday, the 2.‘ld inst., and, after
lining four hours on tho road, arrived
in Forsyth in time to catch tho 10 o’clock
train for Atlanta. Running down to
Madison that night,to meet some friends,
wo returned to Atlanta tho next after
noon, where we made connection with
the 4:10 P. M. train, on tho Air Line
Railroad, arriving at Toccoa City that
night at 10:30 o’clock.
We left Toccoa City after dinner the
next day, nnd arrived here in plenty of
time to get ready for supper. Just
fancy, old boy, how good you felt when
you wore compelled to pull up the
blanket to keep comfortable last fall,
and you may form some idea of the
delightfully cool weather wo havo here,
nnd how good wo #loop. Our room
overlooks tho Rapids, "which are just
above the Falls, and it sounds, at night,
precisely as though it was raining hard,
making it impossible to keep awake if
we were ever so nervous.
The first Fall, there being five in all,
is the Lodow, about two hundred yards
below the hotel. A body of water half
the size of the Coosa dashing over a bed
of rocks at an angle of ninety degrees
with a fall of seventy-five feet, and
mountains on either side, would give
you but a faint idea of what this Fall
really is, and yet Tempest Fall, one
hundred, and Hurricane Fall, two hun
dred yards below, surpass it; the first
having a fall of ono hundred and the
last named a fall of one hundred and
thirteen feet. Tho Oceana and tho Bridal
Veil Falls are just below Hurricane
Fall, in tho order named, and, although
not so grand as either of the others, are
still worth a visit of several hundred
miles to see. .
As this letter is already too long, wo
will describe Hawthorne’s Pool; giving
tho origin of its name, Devil’s Pulpit,
Grand Chasjn, the Mineral Spring, Ac.,
Ac., in our next, if you say so.
Before closing, wo must add that
clean beds, good fare and an old fash
ioned (inti helium welcomo awaits the
visitor or visitors at Tallulah Falls,
This is no puff, ns wo pay for what w<
get. Amicus.
! Disgraceful Disclosures Abolit
Ho wal'd University.
Washington .June 23.—Thu quarrel
ri’sullin;: from the recent troubles in
lliu Howard University management,
is likely to thing to light tho secret his
tory of iim concern. Prof. Langston,
who l .is been Acting President and
Dean of the Law Department, has .just
made a publication, which contains
some rather startling dislosures. He
says that from January, 1870, to De
cember, 1870, the institution borrowed
money of the Freedman’.-, Savings
Bank and other banks to the amount
altogether of-nbout 808,000, which is
still unpaid, and that for the past five
years imoads have been made upon
the permanent capital of the Universi
ty at tho rate of $35,000 a year, lie
says that a majority of the trustees are
and have been members of the Congre
gational Church of this city. The church
is hotter known us the Howard Church,
Gen. O. O. Howard having been in
strumental .in Us organization. This
church lias been a constant borrower of
the University. It now owes the lat
ter some $12,000. On this the Univer
sity receives hut eight pur cent, inter
est, while from a failure of tho Trustees
of the University to press for the collec
tion of any part of the amount duo
from tho church the University lias been
compelled to borrow money at tho rate
of ten per cent, interest. At the same
time (lie 1 Diversity has paid the church
for the use of the audienee room of the
church throe times a year, $5(10 a year
for ten years ($5,000) in advance of such
use. Among other loans mado by these
Trustees of the funds oftlio University,
was $5,0!lit to tho pastor of their own
church, Dr. Rankin, who has paid one-
half, of which payment $300 was tho
value. More of the same sort is prom
ised.

Murder in Chorokee County, Ala.
Wc clip tho following from the Com
mercial of yesterday:
Last Monday, in Cherokee county,
Ala., near the base of Lookout Moun
tain, a murder was committed that
chills the blood to read of. Tho facts are
as follows:
Two gentlemen, Messrs. Weldon, wore
passing along the road, when they wero
fired upon from ambush by two men,
named Kennedy. The murderers were
not more than ten steps from their vic
tims. Ono of the Messrs. Weldon was
killed instantly, anil tho other ono had
his arm broken. Tho latter managed
to make his escape, and thus saved his
life.
The two men, Kcnncdys, after kill
ing Mr Weldon, went down into tho
valley where an old gentlemen lived.
Going to his house they told him that
they had killed Weldon, and also tell
ing him to go and see if it were not so,
adding. “If we haven’t killed him, by
God, wo will go hack and do so now.”
The olil gentleman found him not
only murdered, but that the inhuman
wretches, not satisfied with killing him,
had beaten his head into a jelly.
These murderers defy the law and
say they will not be arrested by tho of
ficers. But the deputy Sheriff, with a
possee is now after the rri and it is to be
hoped will bring them in other dead or
alive.
We get the information of this mur
der from Mr. Cr. S. Green, who supplies
Mr. McKee with cattle and whoso vo
racity is not to bo doubted.
IIow is Tins.—A Washington special
to tho Baltimore Sun says that from tho
first of January there has been a de
crease of National bank capital in near
ly every Southern and Western State,
which is very significant when taken in
connection with tho ilomand for moro
circulation, which comes entirely from
those two sections. Illinois alono has
surrendered voluntarily nearly three
millions of circulation. IIow is this
fact to be reconciled with the demand
for moro currency that is heard all over
the South and West? Can anybody
explain the true inwardness of tlio puz
zle?

Owing to the small appropriation for
