AN AUDACIO '(ATTEMPT.
To lUbPar (Jar of (hr Hichma n A and
DaiiYille Itoail In Allavla.
(Cor. Mai-on '(.lagraph.)
One of tlio most bold and auda
cious robberies ever known in this
country perhaps, was attempted here
this morning and barely tailed of suc
cess. It lias put Atlanta agog, and
stirred up a large corps of able detec
tive*.
Yesterday evening Paymaster G re
set' of the Air-Line railroad, reached
here with $30,000 In currency, and he
was to start out out on the road this
morning and pay off, the employes
along the road from Atlanta to Rich
mond. His pay ear, and supply ear
the later in front, were side
tracked near the Pryor street crossing
within forty yards of the depot, ready
to start out (ids morning. About t
o’clock tills morning a gravel engine
belonging to the Georgia railroad,
backed up gently to tlie paymaster’s
train, coupled and pulled out on the
main track of tlie Georgia road. 11c
foro the train reached Kirwood, the
first station, paymaster Groser, who
was asleep in Ids ear, and Patrick
Ward, a negro porter, were wakened
by the motion, and could not under
stand what the matter was. At Kirk
wood the water in the engip|gave out
or something happened to the engine,
which tlio parties on the cab could not
manage, and the train stopped.
Paymaster Groser leaped olf and
started to (he engine to soc what was
being done. Hemet one of the men
coming and asked what lie wn#
doing, lie said he was taking the
train to Bollwood junction to begin
paying off. The paymaster responded
that it was to early for that and again
demanded what lie was doing. The
man replied with an oath: “You know
ghat we want—that money—and we
* vo going to get it.’’ The paymaster
-aped on his car, told the porter, who
lmd a pistol, to stand liis ground and
not let anybody get on the ear or dis
turb any thing whilo he wont for as
sistance. He leaped and ran a short
distance off to some house near the
station for help. While ho was gone
the •robbers got the train started
again anil pulled out a tew yards,
when they uncoupled from the pay
car and ran or fifteen or twenty yards
andcatml back with full steam with
the Intention of brenking in the front
end of the pay ear. In this reckless
scheme there was a miscalculation.
The collision damaged the pay oar,
lint ditched 'lie engine. The robbers
then became alarmed and tied.
The paymaster succeeded In arous
ing Messrs. C. P. Wctherbe, Sam and
K. F. Swann, who live at Kirkwood.
The party hastened to tho scene, well
armed, but when they arrived the
bold, bad robbers, had disappeared,
the supply and pay ear, the tretmue,
tho negro porter, and the ditched en
gine were all there. The flreman of
the IVndletcn Guano 'Works, was
called up and arter a short time he
succeeded In getting the engine in
condition to pull hack to tho oily
wlnedt was done without delay. Here
the alarm was given, and plans im
mediately put in operation for the
capture of the rob hors. Chief Conolly
used the telephone to Decatur and
icari.ed that a suspicions looking
Whiteman had gone on the Georgia
train there tins morning, lie had
been overheard talking with a negro
atj the station about an accident to
an engine between Decatur, and At
lanta, nut when approached and
questioned, he was very evasive and
would not talk. His conduct excited
suspicion. The chief telegraphed a
description of tho man to tho couduo
tor of the outgoing Georgia train,
with instructions to place him under
arrest, and send hack to Atlanta. De
tective BUI Jones was on the train
aod arrested the man whan tho train
reached Convert and brought him to
Atlanta. They readied hero at one
'Liock, and the prisoner was locked
fry,. He proved to be a notorious
tkaraeter named James Noian who
Was already wanted here by
liio authorities under a warrant for a
cutting scrape, tie denies having
any complicity in the robbery or
knowing anything about it. Know
ing ones on the detective corps assert
that they have a duo to the real rob
bers. Tho development I will send
you later. They think possibly Nolan
may have had some connection with
it. a* ho was seen near the depot here
last night watching the pay car, but
they think they know the parlies who
rati off the train, and will liaye them
befote midnight.
To save SIO,OOO a year in the Inte
rior Department, Secretary I„aniar
bus discontinued the use of gold pens.
THE SAFEST PLAN.
There is no particular reason.prob
ably for thinking tha |£t Norwe
gian bark Erbin, from Valencia,
.Spain, and now at Sopelo quarantine
station, is a source of danger. She
wi.s many days at sea. and there was
no siokness on board, and when she
arrived on our coast her crew was
found to bo in a healthy condition.
llowover, she was very wisely sent
to tlie quarantine station, anil it rho
health officers are as cautious as they
ought to he they will not permit her
to enter any port in this country as
long as the hot weather continues.
A determination of this kiutl might
bo regarded as i cry unjust to thoso
who are interested in the vessel, but
it is much bolter that a few person*
should be required to make u pecun
iary sacrifice than that the slightest
risk of introducing cholera into this
country should bo taken.
So little is known about cholera
that opinion* as to the circumstances
that would justify the admission of a
vessel from an infected port to one of
our ports isn't worth very much. In
dealing with cholera and yellow fe
ver we are still in the experimental
period. What seems to be tlio proper
tiling to he done to-day may bo de
cided to-morrow to lie the tiling that
ought not tn have been done.
Wlille the prohabil'ty Is that the
hark Erbin is wholly freetrom chole
ra infection, there U just a chance
thut site is not, and prudence dictates
that no risk should he taken.
In a report our Consul at Marseilles,
Frank 11. Mason, gives some curi
ous instance/! of how the cholera was
spread in France last year. In July
a man left otic of tlio worst afflicted
quarters of Marseilles, and visited his
native village of Vogue. He remained
there in perfect health ; lie opened Ids
trunk, anil wore a suit of clothing
that had been pn< ked at Marseille*.
He was almost immediately attacked
with the cholera. The discaso that
was carried in that suit of clothes
killed oiio-len'.li of tlio people of
Vogue. Mr. Mason says that there is
no lougcr any doubt that the disease
was Marseilles last year from Toulon
in tlie clothing of a young student.
Cholera contagion is diffused in
water as readily is in clothing. On
July 10, last year, saysC’ouiil Mason,
a young servant girl arrived at Umer
gues, n village in the department of
Bases-Aplos, France. She had been
at service in Marseille*. She washed
some linen, which had been in eon
tact wit'n a cholera patient, in a creek
from which tlio valley draws its sup
ply of water. The whole valley was
stricken with the disease, and one
tenth of the population died.
These two cases show how extreme
ly careful it is necessary to he In or
der to insure immunity from tho
dreadful scourge. Who is prepared
to say that there la no clothing on tiie
Erbin that has never been exposed to
cholera? Tlio wisest plan for health
authorities of thin country to pursue
Is to refuse admission to our ports to
all vessols from ports infectod with
tlio cholera.—bavaitunh News.
TROUBLE OVER A COLORED MAN.
A colored man named Green, who
was tlio cause ot a controversy, be
tween ox-Sooretary Lincoln and Gen.
Ilazen about one-vear ago, has
turned tip again. At that time Hazcu
doelltied to enlist Green in the signal
corps on the ground that regiments of
calvary and Infantry had boon set
apart for colored soldiers, but
not tho signal corps. Secretary
Lincoln ordered his enlistment in that
corps, provided lie could pass the re
quisite examination. He passed the
examination and was sent to Fort
Myer to enter a regular course of in
struction. 11c performed all the du
ties acceptably, and with the other
members of Ida class recently became
eligible for station duty. Tho signal
service observer at Pensacola asked
for an assistant and was told that one
would boaeut. Ho procund for him
rooms and board in his own boarding
place and made oilier arrangements
to receive him. Green was the man
selected as assistant ami was sent to
Pensacola. On ids arrival the signal
service officer refused to receive hint
because of his color. Tho officer lias
been summoned to Wash 1 ngton to
make an explanation. The colored
mail remains in cliargo of tho office
at Pensacola. It is stated at the sig
nal office that Green was assigned to
do duty at Pensaeolo without any re-
I gard to his color, and that tho officer
who selected him did not know at tho
time that he was colored.

AN INDIAN WAS.
The government is on the eve ot
another war with the Indians. The
government has been invariably
I worsted in Indian wars, and after the
shedding of much blood and the
spending of millions of money, has
had to make new treaties with the In
dians.
In (lie midst of a civliaiztion that is
marked by peace and quiet, it is not
easy always to sympathize with the
vie vof the settlers whose seap is in
constant danger, that the best Indian
is a dead one.
In the present ease, the same old
cause of trouble is alleged, viz.: The
Indian trader and agents have swin
dled and cheated the Indiana. There
is much truth in this, so much indeed
that the country is never shocked to
hoar of the murder of an Indian agent
or trader. The Cheyennes are now
singing war songs apt) arc putting
on paint and feathers. They are mad
and armed, and have plenty of amu
nit ion. The government has ordered
the army to disarm the Indians. This
is a difficult job. A man with a re
peating rifle, a supply of cartridges
and u gcod horse will not turret tier
easily. There are 1,500 Cheyennes in
this fix. A* the army is not now en
gaged in managing Southern election*
it tnay be able to obey this order.
General Sheridan R ordered to
the command. But perhaps he tnay
burn the Indians out. He is wonder
dcrfnl with a torch. But perhaps he
has supplied himself at Chicago with
a dozen or so of confludciit small pox
cases in the early stage of the dis
ease.
As he desired to destroy, the. Poi
gans by this scourge, he may lev It
on the Cheyennes. The situation is
alarming to the lam Pies of settler* In
the West, and tiler* maybe much of
butchery and bloodshed.
Many sagacious people hold that
tho Indians should he turnerd over to
the War Department. We are In
clined to concur in this. The wild
Indiana could better he watched and
controlled by the army, and the sol
diers have hut little more use for In-
Mian traders and agents than the In
dian themselves.
The taiuo Indians will do very well
If fairly aod justly treated. The navy
has had an opportunity to display it
self and Secretary Whitney has been
equal to the occasalon. Secretary Fn
dicott and the army are now ou trial.

ENGLAND'S GREAT INIOUITY.
The Pall Mull Gazette of Loudon,
ha* just shaken Unfit lid to its foun
dations ami the shock lias been fell
by tho English-speaking people to the
uttermost parts of the earth. It* edi
tor, Mr. Stead Ita* had the manhood
and tho bravery to make a dauntless
oitslaugli against the greatest of of all
silts, the traffic in young girl* for im
moral purpose*, so common England,
and he has tho plaudits of the world
for his courage and tho vigor with
wltic’i ho has proeoculcd hi* under
taking. It required the greater cour
age because the wealth and the nobil
ity (God save the name) are principal
ly engaged i it this great iniquity.
No people on earth have a higher
sense of the honor of woman thau the
people ol our Southern land, and no
where else w ill the noble course of
tho PhII Mall Gazelle meet with
greater praise. It is tho common
law of our land that tho next of kin
or any man who may assume lbo pro
tection of a woman, may without the
slightest compunction, shoot down a
vile seducer a* he would a dog: a ltd
the princes amt’‘nobles"of England
would litre badly in their villainous
traffic in this part of tho world. The
strong arm of tho press was never
weildcd in a grander cause nor more
powerfully than it is now being
weildcd by the Pall Mall Gazelle.
EMIGRATION.
Col. D. C. Barrow, a prominent
goutlemnn of Oglethrope county, is
thoroughly aroused ou the subject of
emigration and thinks the state of
Goergia should take tho matter in
Ita da id liko other state, appoint a
bureau emigration whose busiuess it
is to show to tho emigrants that come
to this country to live the advantages
of Georgia. The last agricultural
connention passed resolutions memo
rializing the legislature to establish a
bureau of emigration and he thinks
this mattei should be attended to at
once. The legislature could not do a
better thing than to invite good, hon
est labor to our state. There are
land owners hero that own thouands
of acres of land that they want to sell
to men who will como here and farm.
Let this quosMon of emigration be
agitated ami tlio Georgia legislature
start the ball in motion, and in less
than two years there will be plenty of
people come here to live and build up
the lluest country in the United States

JEERING KENTUCKIANS
The Troops Complain of Bad Treatment in
the Quaker city. •
(From the New York .lersld]
Member* of the Castleman Light
Artillery, of Lexington, make vigor
ous complaint of having been repeat
edly and wantonly insulted at the
late Philadelphia drill. They claim to
have been jeered and hooted at with
with cries of "Rebel!” ‘‘Rats!’’ and
other equally insulting word*. Opt.
McPherson, of Company A, Louis
ville Legion to this said to your cor
respondent to-night that while he did
not hear these orsituiliar jeers, yet
the very iinpohte treatment accorded
the Southern companies there was on
a level with such rowdysim. None
of this had behavior had a source
among the member* of the military
companies, but came from all classes
of civilians ot Philadelphia. There
was no cheer* for the boys in rank
from the spectators, but sneering re
ferences about “the war.” Tho peo
ple there did not turn out amt gi.e
Hie encampment financial help, as
would have been done in Louisville
and oilier cities. Instead, on July 4,
when 5.00 C people were present, at
least 1,000 of them broke down the
fence and stamped the ground*. On
other occasions very few were pres
ent, ami on Hie day that tlie Louis
ville* drilled they had but about fifty
spectators,and they were acquaintance
of the member*. Capl M.Piiprson at
tributes this hostility to the Philadel
phia Press and others of that city,
whose grievances, he says he grew
from jestousy. Having failed to buy
ou* the interest of Gov, Underwood
in the project when It gave* promise
of certain success, they idled to make
it a failure. The further allegation is
made that when the hand was asked
to play “Dlxio” Inc request was met
with the reply by the leader that if he
played any Southern air lie would be
discharged.
