HON. JNO L. HOPXXNS. JUDGE PKES1DXXO.
According to the announcement on the previous dsy
Judge Hopkins opened conrt for tho pnrposo of
pacing on the appUcations of Michael ~
Smith of Waynesboro, and James T. Wills, son of
Rev. Dr. David Wills, for admission to the bar. Mr.
Smith reed lew under Collier, Mynatt k Collier, com*
pitting his studies some lime ago, and came to At
lanta from his home in Waynesboro for the purpose
of attending the Teachers’ Convention and embraced
the opportunity to make his application while here,
the Court being in aeeslon. Both these gentlemen
were thoroughly examined by committees of able
lawyers, whose reports were very flattering. In ad
dition to this Mr. 8ralth was examined pretty thor
oughly by Judge Hopkins and much good coan'el
given him. After this both took the usual ceth and
were regularly admitted to the bar. It is doe Mr.
Wills to remark that His Honor did not know
he was present in the Conrt room until
the examination of M.r. Smith was concluded
otherwise he would have been examined with Mr. 8.
We hope that by patient toll theee gentleman will reach
distinction in the noble profession they have chosen.
The jury, in tho case of the North Georgia Mining
Company vs. Charles Latimer. Bill for specific per
formance, etc., returned a verdict for the defendant
and decreed that he be released from specific perform

One of the eaddest social tragedies we have
beer called on to record, occurred aa Monday night
last near Social Circle.
The parties to this terrible affair were a Mr. J. T
Phillips, a farmer, living about 5 miles from Social
Circle, and his step-eon, a boy about 1$ years of tge,
by the name of Turner. Young Turner U poorly
grown for his age. Phillips'la represented as having
been a man of bad character, who came from Haber
sham county to the settlement in quest! on, and mar
ried the widow Turner. This young man and two
daughters thns became his step-children.
He Immediately began to treat the girls brutally,and
not long since was incarcerated in jail for his bed
treatment of one of the young ladies. Last Monday
night after supper, and while the family were prepar
ing to retire for the night, Phillips commenced giving
the girls instructions as to vrhat they ahowlvl do next
day in a very abus 4 ve manner. Young Turner inter
rupted him, saying, ’-Don’t talk to my sisters that
way." Phillips replied, “ I’ll throw my shoo at her,"
and suiting the action to the word, did throw it at her
—missing her, however. He then began to abuse the
young man, who, at this time, was paring his toe-nails
with his poeket-keife. After abasing him at mack as
he thought fit, he ran at young Tamer and tried to cut
him, when they grappled. Phillips succeeded in chok
ing his youthful antagonist down three times. While
he was on Turner the latter commenced
operations with his knife, and kept cat
ting until he succeeded in inflicting a mortal
wound.' - After receiving his death-stroke, Phillips bent
Turner’s neck backwards, raised his knife and said
•- G d d m you. I’ll cut your throat." He would
have put this threat into execution, but for Turner's
sister, who threw her arm between her brother’s neck
and the descending knife, receiving tho blow on her
wrist. It Is thought her arm is rendered useless for
Me by the wound thns inflicted. Phillips then got up.
walked to the door and fell dead. The Coroner’s Jury
pronounce the act of the young man “justifiable
homicide." He is willing to surrender himself to the
authorities for trial at any time. No one who knows
auybing of the circumstances, attaches any blame to
the young man.
For the good of society, we wish never to heer of s
like case again, and think tyrannical step-fathers may
well take warning by this bloody lesson.
To the Editors of the Herald:
I read in your Wednesday’s issue of yesterday, with
sad, but unfeigned admiration. Governor Smith’s rea
sons for withholding pardon from Miss Eberbeart,
who was hanged recently in Webeter county as par-
ticeps criminis, in the atrocious murder of Mrs. Spann.
One fact is obvious in the robust, masterly argu
ment by wh'ch he justifies his course; and that is,
that Governor Smith was not trained in, and has no
sympathy with the sickly, sentimentalism, which is
the chief staple of modern education.
Severe and trying as the ordeal was when nnder the
pressure of this morbid public opinion, urged by
mtnous petitions, signed by feeble old women, nerv
ous young ones, womenly men, and tho unmanly stric.

more the firmness and prestridge of an incorrupti
ble Southern official.
There is an indescribjbio sense of security which
so noble and self-sacrificing an act on the part of the
chief magistrate, carries to the homes and hearts of
us all. Georgia may well be proud of her Governor,
with such a man at the helm as Governor Smith and

The Reason Why.
The reason why we went up stairs to see Mr. Ed.
Holland and learn something about Peter's Patent
Tanning Process, was because we believed, from the
way he advertised it, there was merit in it. Well, raw
hidos are made into soft, pliable, firm leather in from
two to fifteen days by it—time varying according to
the thickness of the leather. It is an improvement on
the former short process of tanning by reason of the
neutralizing of tbe acids used in it; whereas, hereto
fore they were left to rot the leather. He showed ns
kip skins and calf and sheep skins that were raw hides
less than a week ago. Now, they are leather, and first
/-i. M of their kinds. The sheep skins tanned by this
proocss are thought to be eqaal to ordinary calf.
Tbe great saving of time and drudgery by this pro
cess over the old makes it exceedingly valuable. Mr.
Holland has county rights far rale, varying in price
according to population, Ac. For full particulars,
read his card in this issue of the Herald, sod then
go up and see him. You will find him intelligent,
confident and communicative, and then you can see
for yourself what the procese can do and is doing.
Atlantic ansi Great Western Canal.
The general committees en the Governors* conven
tion met yesterday.
Gen. Garlington being called to ths chair ths follow
ing resolutions were passed:
Whereas, At a meeting of citizens hold in tbe city
of Atlanta, a resolution approvlog the proposition to
call a convention of the Governors of the several States
interested in the completion of the Atlantic and Great
Western canal, U asset In this city, and pledging
themselves to oo-operate with his Excellency, Gov.
Smith, in carrying into effect said resolution;
And vmzA*. His Excellency, tbe Governor, in
pursuance of the advice of said meeting, has called a
convention to meet la this city on the 90th Inst, and
haa invited a number of delegatee from said States.
Be It therefore resolved.
That In the opinion of this meeting, tbe delegates
f t oai other States should be received and entertained,
as guests of the State, and especially of this city in a
style, and with a generous hospitality becoming the
occasion; and that the citizens of Atlanta are earnestly
requested to contribute liberally to this purpose; and
to this end, that the Committee on Finance do proceed
Southern Terra Cette Work.*.
1’ELUGBIXI A GIOBGI.
A HOME INSTITUTION.
Messrs. Pellegrini k Giorgi, with commendable
faith in Atlanta and her people, about two years ago
established the “Southern Terra Cotta Works," on
Race Track Street, near the U. S. Barracks, in this
city. Here they manufacture “Yetrifled Stone Sewer
Pipes," an article unequaled for purposes of sewerage
and drainage. They also make ornamental chimaey-
heads, flower-pots, vases, Ac. Anything—everything
you may need, in their lino, they can and will make
and furnish to your order, and we guarantee that it
will he executed in a style entirely satisfactory, snd
furnished at a price which cannot be duplicated any
where.
Aside from these considerations, however, there aro
other reasons why Pefligrini and Georgi should
ceive a very large share of Southern patronage. Chief
among these are, “ that they are home men," and
«their manufactory is a home institution." They are
furnishing Southern laborers with work; they are ad
ding value to Southern material; they arc helping to
feed tbe Southern poor, and thus helping to check
vice and crime; they aro showing what can be done
by proporly directed efforts ia the development
of tbe various resources of ths State, even with s lim
ited capital. For these reasons they are public bene
factors, and deserve patronage and support at the
hands of the public. Again we say, if you need any
thing which they can make, you will help the manu
facturing interest of the city, as we'l as subserve
your own interests by leaving your orders with this
enterprising firm.

« Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well.'’
Having determined upon the propriety of a grand un
ion temperance picnic, the lodges participating took
active and proper steps to effect the object desired;
and we state what ia universally conceded when we
say that it was a brilliant success.
On yesterday morning, at 8!, o’clock, a passenger
train, consisting of eleven boxes, left the passenger
depot of this city for Acworth,loaded with live freight;
about six hundred persons who went from this place
snd Stone Mountain. At Smyrna a number of peseea-
gers were received, while at Marietta . large
accessions were made to the party, which
crowded the train to its utmost capacity—about one
third of those on it being unable to obtain seats. Ar
riving at Acworih at eleven o’clock, the excursion tits
were politely received by the committee on recoption,
of the last named place, and conducted to a beautiful
grove a abort distance from the depot where they joined
the Acworih Templars and their friends. In a short
time, delegations from Rome, Ringgold. Calhoun and
Adairsvillo arrived on tbe train, and swelled ths
crowd to more than a thousand persons. A platform
had been erected for the cccaaon, snd over it was a
beautiful wreath of flowers, prepared by the fair ladies
of Ac worth. Capt. R. N- Mitchell welcomed the
excursionists in a short, chaste and appropriate ad
dress. Rev. Dr. Dozier then replied briefly, thanking
the citizens of Acworth for the expressions of cordial
welcome extended through Cspt. Mitchell. Col. Mose
ley of Rome, editor of the People’s Friend, a temperaoc
journal, responded aa the representative of ths noble
Romans In a manner creditable to his com ades in
tbe order. The Ringgold and Calhonn lodges also re
sponded through speakers fully competent for the
task. Mr. M. C. Smith, of this city, Worthy Chief of
Wenona Cold Water Temple, then declaimed to the
audience ths “Maniac" in a vary satisfactory manner.
At two o’clock dinner was announced and every per
son present proceeded to investigate and ex
amine the contents of the baskets. There was an am
ple supply for every one on the ground. The majority
were supplied by baskets, and thos* who failed to pre
pare in advance for the repast, were cordially invited
to join them. Mr. W. 8. Withers had, as usoal, several
largo boxes filled with provisions of everv description,
and extended a general iuvitation to visit his table.
This was accepted by forty or fifty persons, who thus
were made the recipients of all that conid be desirod
In the wsy of a good " square meal." In fact, we never
saw greater hospitality, cordiality, and general good
feeling exhibited on any occasion by the attendants
generally.
Dinner over, those so inclined lepaired to the hail
which had by somebody been prepared lor dancing.and
partook of thia exhilarating exercise. But a short
space, however, was allotted to this department of
pleasure, as the hour of 3, 1 * p.m. had been designated
for returning from the scene. All stepped aboard at
and before the signal, and started for tome. Not an
incident or accident happened on the route until the
train reached the Cbattahoochf-e river, st which place
it ran off the bridge.
THE BUN OFF.
On reaching the bridge no trouble or danger was ap
prehended by either the conductor or engineer, aud
every precaution had apparently been taken to protect
the beanty and chivalry that was aboard. The train
being heavily laden and the river considerably swollen
by the recent rains, ths brakes were applied aad the
speed checked more than usual. The abutment por
tion of the bridge was first passed over, then the body
of it, and lastly the cars all passed safely over tbe
last abutment, which completed the crossing, safely
and without damage or injury. The train only ran off
tbe bridge—-fiom one end to tbe other,
not off tbe track, mirabiU diciu! The
enrsionists were landed safely at the car shed
st seven o'clock, f. m., greatly elated with their trip,
and amid enthuaiaetio shouts from the town boys.
The committees at Acworth performed their work
nobly, provided every arrangement for the conven
ience and comfort of tLeir guests, to whom they
tendered throughout the day every accommodation.
Mr. J. G. Thrower, the indefatigable, indomitable
and persistent temperance man, surpassed in serenity
of countenance, Recorder Hammond, or any one else
within the range of onr acqnaiutaace. Be ob
served with pleasure tho various exercises, and
when ths hour for dinner arrived he was peculiarly
happy. To him and Withers belong much of the
credit for the general good order that prevailed.
Some slight disturbance took place during the day
but considering the gicat throng present it was the
meet quiet and orderly picnic that ever came under
our observation. Contrary to tho wishes of the order
some (-hooting occurred outsido the corporate limits,
which of coarse there was no meana of preventing
but fortunately no damage resulted from it. Some
young men also engaged in a mutual quarrel outside
the audience and exhibited the size of their fists in s
striking attitude, while one old gentleman be
came so intensely euihueed over the sweet
mu elk discoursed by Wurm’s Band that he
became utterly unable to restrain himself, and began
dancing a Jig and conversing in a vory •olsterou*
manner contiguous to the main crowd, and was
promptly arrested by the efficient officer of the day.
He disclaimed all intention to break the peace or the
picnic, and merely Instated on his liberty to give vent
to hit feelings and emotions. At Kennesaw, a little
unpleasantry sprung up between two young men,
whoso cames we forbear to mention, bnt nothing se
rious. While the train was waiting at the station for
passengers, oue of the young men knocked the hat off
the other’s head, whereupon the latter drew a
pistol, and was only prevented from firing by
the timely interposition of persons present. Both
were on the platform when the trouble aro^e. Oa the
route home a young man of splendid promise of a
brilliant future, ooncladed to rival the band by strik
ing lively tnao* on the celebrated “ jewa harp." His
renditions were rapturously applauded by the passen
gers.
Taking the excursion and picnic as s whole, it was
of the first character, and the citixena of Acworih d<
serve much credit for their efficient preparations for
it Indeed, her citizens since the war have demon
strated a spirit of indostrv and enterprise worthy of
commendation. Though possessing a small popula
tion, throe substantial brick churches and a splendid
brick aoodemy grace her eite and attest the zeal of her
citizens in tho cause of morality and intelligence.

Judge WUliam J. Whaling, of the Hartford; J. P. Con-
stable, of ths d&tna; Major J. B. Morgan, of the Frank
lin, and Mr. Beecher, of ths Columbus (Os.) Home.
All of the above named gentlemen aro special agents
for their respective companies in ths Soothers States,
and members of ths Georgia District Committee of
Underwriter* for tbe South. Finding them discuss
ing the topic of Insurance, a Herald reporter solicited
ths privilege of an interview, which wma politely
granted.
THE INTERVIEW.
Reporter —Have Insurance companies generally come
to any contusion in reference to placing Atlanta out
side the pale of insurance ?
W. W. Constable—Don’t think that any oompany in-
tonds to withdraw from this field of operation, but we.
representing the Georgia District Committee of the
Southern Division, have determined not only to
dace oar lines, but also have decided to increase the
rates of insurance unless batter water facilities ore
supplied.
Reporter—Is this advance oi rates certain and au
thoritative ?
Mr. Constable—This is official I am chairman of
the Committee, and we have decided this question,
and the chaage will be effected at an early day, ualeta
more efficient protection is guaranteed ns against
fire.
Reporter—Did our reported interview with Mr.
Mark Howard have a tendency to produce this action
by the committee ?
Mr. Boechor—In my opinion that was the primary
cause, and brought about this general tour of inspec
tion.
Reporter—You speak of reducing your lines of in
surance. Will you please explain what is meant by
reducing lines ?
Judge Whaling—It is insuring for a less proportion
of the actual value of property. Mr. Constable—Be
sides insnring at a lees proportion of tho value, no
oompany is allowed to take the whole risk, but it must
be divided between at least tnree companies.
Reporter—In my interview with Mr. Mark Howard,
he stated that the “insurance business generally had
not been remunerative to the companies insuring."
Is this correct, Judge W? Mr. Howard is President
of one of the Hartford companies, and is locked npon
ae a sort of standing referee, in all matters pertaining
to insurance. He was hero representing indirectly
ail eastern
ooxupanics. We had examined the subject carefully,
aad I am satisfied that his statements are correct; but
speak positively of no company save wy own.
We had tost money.
Reporter—(To tho o£hcr throe gentlemen.) Ie the
seme true in regard to your oompeuies?
Mr. Constable—If my company should withdraw
from Atlanta to-morrow and reinsure her risks the
would be in arrears.
Mr. Beecher—'Tbe same is true in regard to the
company I represent.
Major Morgan—My com; any has been peculiarly
fortunate in her risks and has made some money.
lt'-por ter—Would tbs introduction of water wotks
arrest this advance of rates ?
Major M—It would certainly arrest an increase of
rates and would probably causa a decrease. Sevan-
nab, Augusta and Rome are tho only cltiea in Goorgia
that can call to mind that enjoy the benefits of water
works, and the rates in each of these cities are mnch
lower than i* Atlanta. While Macon aud Columbus
have many advantages ovor Atlanta, yet from an ab
sence of water works their citizens are subject to the
same high rates.
