Superior Court. 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 ance. No further business was transacted and the Court adjourned to Monday at the usual hour, when the call of the Equity docket will be resumed. FVMI ATLANTA TOAGWOftTN. grand TEMPERANCE CUR SIGN. EX- United States Commissioner's Conn. Thos. J. Love, the Postmaster at Ringgold, charged with embezzlement, had a hearing before Commis sioner W. B. Smith yesterday. Mr. Love’s account was short and he offered to make good the deficit, but the Postal Agent would not receive the money. The Comxnieaicner held Mr. Love to bail in the sum of $1,000. Jostlcee' Courts. R. p. Tatum had a hearing before Justice Butt yes terday, ui der a charge of an assault with intent to murder. The evidence showed that as Mr. T. was on his wsy home, on Friday night, he passed two negro men, who immediately began to advance upon him. He is a grocer—has money—ia a one-legged man, and anticipated an attempt to rob him. He ordered them not to come nearer, telling them if they did he would One of the eaddest social tragedies we have beer called on to record, occurred aa Monday night last near Social Circle. The parties to this terrible affair were a Mr. J. T Phillips, a farmer, living about 5 miles from Social Circle, and his step-eon, a boy about 1$ 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. tores of certain progressive newspaper editor*, Le stood UBmoved aa a stone wall and vindicated onco 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 TRAIN RUNS OFF THE CHATTAHOOCHE BRIDGE. WATER WORKS A NECESSITY! Insurance Agents Interviewed!

His Honor was in time, or very nearly so, yesterday morning. Ha wore his white hat, and Johnson vowed he lookrd as fresh as a rose. He took his seat promptly and was about to commence proceedings, when an old lady, an old acquaintance of his Honor, took her stand on tho steps of his stand and began to interview him. Thanks. We are nnder obligations to our friend Col. Thos. G. gimme, of New York, for New York papers in advance of the mails. He left New York Thursday at 1 o’clock, p. m., and reached this city by the “Const lane" this morning. He says the Coast Line can’t be bent for elegant accommodations, courteous officers and quick time. Burglary. The bar room of Frank Doonan, known as Mechanic Saloon, on the comer of Marietta and Bartow streets, was entered Friday through s window, opened with a slat torn from a chicken coop near by. Nothing was taken but a bottla of gin. It ia thought the buTglar was huntin® money, but then Frank is too sharp to leave tie cash lying around loose. McKot k Roberts.—Special attention is called to the card of Messrs. McKoy k Roberts, Grocers and Commission Merchants. They are just entering this business. Both are prompt, reliable end energetic businessmen. They are wall known in this city sad the surrounding country.

Richard Clayton’s drunk was of tho ordinary char acter, and as he did not cuss, be got off wi b $5 snd costs. He is a moral man. 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.

Grand Concert.—The Beethoven Society and Vt*T ax’s Orchestra give a ooncert at DeGive’s, en Tuesday evening. This is the last of the season. « 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.

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. Damaged G&ockeise—T. 1.
