Liberal and Right*
We learn thst Colonel L. P. Grant. Superintendent
of the Atlanta and West Point Railroad, has sent free
passes over that road to Governors and others specially
invited by Governor Smith to attend the Canal Con
vention on the 20th inat., whose routes lie over bis
road, and that be will sell round trip tickets to all
other guests for one fare. This conduct is liberal and
it is right. We trust all our other Hues of railways
w .ll keep pace with the Atlanta and West Point. By
all means, let every possible encouragement be offered
i> induce prominent men from all parts of tho
ountry to attend this convention. This question of
cheap transportation affects onr whole poopto, and de
serves the mature consideration of all who have the
management of public affairs, as well as others having
the welfiro of the country at heart.
On Fame's eternal camping ground,
Their silent tents are spread,
And glory guards with solemn round.
The bivouac of the dead.
At about three o’clock yesterday evening Atlanta
put on a busy aspect; crowds commenced collecting on
the corners; bands of music filled the air with music;
squads of school girls, troops of firemen iu their
bright uniforms, trim cadets with their glistening
guns. Masons, Odd Fellows, Hibernians and platoons
of Knight Templars dashed through the streets; all
teeming with life, and hurrying to the grand centre of
attraction, the City Hall, from which point the proces
sion in honor of tho Confederate dead was to be formed
and march to the cemetery.
PROMPTLY AT FOUR O’CLOCK
the procession formed, and under the command of
General Tige Anderson, handsomely uniformed
and mounted on a superb charger, commenced the
solemn march.
The procession, nearly a mile long, was proceeded
by the
GATE CITY BRASS BAND,
in their pleasant uniforms, with the best drummer
that ever handled a stick, and superb music, giving a
variety of marches in good style and tone. Next to
the band came
THE ATLANTA CADETS,
or aa they are fondly called by the young ladies, “The
KatyDids.” Dreesed in their jaunty new uniforms,
glittering buttons and epaulette, drilled into a sur
prising perfection, and armed with new patent
Bprinfleld needle guns, they are to-day
crack Company of the State, and the especial pride of
Atlanta. Messrs. HawkinB, Johnson, Bushton, Platt,
Lowry and Peters were especially noticeable for fine
carriage and skill, and Captain Fittten, Lieutenants
Henderson, Bridges and McWhorter in their rich uni
forms made as handsome a soldier quartette as w«
saw. Immediately after the Cadets came
THE POLICE FORCE
neatly attired in their full dress uniforms, and looking
for all the world like a squad of Confederate veterans,
(as most of them are,) under the command of Lieut.
Johnson, [Captain Thomas unfortunately being too
crippled to march with them all the way, though he
•* stayed with them” to the beat of his ability. Next
to the police force came
THE DAILY HERALD STAFF,
with the editors and proprietors, Messrs. Abrams,
Grady and Alston, .accompanied by the assis
tant editors and reporters, Messrs. Goodwin,
Anderson, Craig, Crenahaw and W. S. Grady,
followed by the clerks, office men and prin
ters, pressmen, etc., numbering in all, forty-
three men. In the centre of this body, Mr.
Owen, the elected standard-bearer of the Her
ald, carried an old war-worn Confederate flag,
draped heavily with crape, and covered with
“ immortelle” flowers — though scarcely able to
spare a mojicn* from the busiest day of the week
the rush and whirl of daily paper life, and yet every
man in the Herald office gladly laid down his work,
and picked up a grateful bouquet of flowers and
joined their humble steps in the great throng of pa
triot men and women that wound its way to where lie
buried at once our heroes and our hopes. As the
Herald was the only paper represented in the pro
cession, immediately upon its heels came
THE SIR KNIGHTS OF CtEUB DELEON COMMANDEIlY,
ail arrayed in tne snowy oaugea <tua uuiruruiB of
their high and sacred order, and led by Mr. W. H.
Tuller, Eminent Commander, Dr. Amos Fox, General
issimo, Mr. Will Luckie, Captain General, and Messrs.
Chamberlain and Fox as Wardens. The Knight Temp-
iara numbered about forty men,embracing the very best
and most respected citizens of Atlanta, Messrs. Good
man, Jordan, Wing, Howard, Willis, Pinckney, Jones,
L. H. Davis, Chamberlin, Reub. Arnold, and others
whose names do not occur to us now. They were
each and every one mounted upon coal-black horses,
and made the handsomest and most Etriking feature
of the procession. Following the Knight Templars
came
THE GOVERNOR AND HIS STAFF
of officers, the Supremo Court Judges, and a number
of the leading lawyers, Judge HopkiDS, Solicitor
Glenn, the Mayor and City Council and city offi
cers, Gen. Garlington, the or*tor of the day,
Col. Robertson, Gen. Walker and other distinguished
citizens. Mayor Hammock and Governor Smith
walked arm in arm, a graceful coupling of the State
and city authorities. This part of the proceseion,
combining the leading ability of our Executive De
partments, made a fine display, and filled all hearts
with joy to see that our good old State and city was
again in tho hands of honest and intelligent men.
Following these gentlemen comes
THE LADIES’ MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION,
a vast concourse of the noble-hearted women of
Atlanta, the best and truest, come next in carriages
and on foot. Following them were long rows of
children of tho Masonic Orphans’ School, Baptist and
Methodist Home’s, and of the Convent of tho Sisters
of Mercy; then tho Public Schools,
under the command of Superintendent Mallon; tho
Girls' Societies of Immaculate Conception, Holy An
gels and Holy Innocents, the Sodalities of St. Joseph,
St. Aloysis and other orders, all bearing garlands of
flowers, which filled the air with perfume and joy.
Following this immeoM proceaaion
CAME A BAND OF MASONS,
whose organization and officers we are positively una
ble to get at this late hour. They were neatly uni
formed, however, and composed of good and reliable
citizens, and made a good display.
THE HIBERNIAN SOCIETY,
under tbe command of Mr. Burke, (who, in the ab
sence of Mr. Finney is senior officer,) then came in
fine order, with John Stephens, Carrol], Roche, Nu-
BAn, Kenny, Connally, and a score of other of old
Erin’s gallant sons in the ranks. The Hibernians were
draped with crape, and made an effective feature.
Several squads of firemen then came in their respec
tive bright and flaahing uniforms, and gave a brilliant
tone to the proeession. We believe that delegations
from nearly every company was represented, but we
cannet get the details of their representation.
When the procession
ARRIVED AT THE CEMKIXUY
It found at least seven or ten thousand people await
ing it, being twiee as large a crowd as ever assembled
on a like cocaaioa before. After the orators had been
conducted to the stage, General Walker introduced
THE XXV. MR. ELLIOTT.
who. in an eloquent manner, opened the proceedings
with player. General Walker then lntrodnced
MAJOR J. W. ROBERTSON,
who read the poem which we publish below. Major
Robertson is a man of superb courage, fino appear
ance, and eloquent delivery* He comes of a giftod
family, and well sustains tbe reputation of his people.
His reading of the matchless poem brought tears to
the eyes of thousands, and was emphatically the
feature of tho day. We publish it here entire, and
commend it to our readers. The Major sat down in
rounds of applause,>nd General Walker then intro
dneed
GENERAL A. C. OARLINGTON,
the orator of tbe day. General Garllngfon's repu
tation as a speaker is hardly bounded by the
limits of three States, and it is suffi
cient to ray that he brightened
escutcheon yesterday. His speech was fervid, manly
and inspiring, and he deserves tho gratitude of the
ladles and tho people generally.
AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE SPEAKING
the crowd dispersed »od deroted lt«olf to tho escred
wort of throwing sweet flower, on the Krtvoa of the
de»d heroes. This completed, they adjourned to their
homes, each and all, we have no doubt, feeling happier
for the day’s work he or she had done.
INCIDENTS OF THE DAY.
The sum of $45 was taken in at the gates in the con
tribution boxes.
We take pleasure in according to Mrs. Johnson,
Mrs. Pratte and Mrs. Clayton, the managers known
to us, the full credit for the magnificent success of
yesterday. They will find a reward iu tho commen
dation of their own noble hoarts, and the full grati
tude of ths whole people.
Charley Herbst was ubiquitous jeaterday, and was
happy as a king bee in clover! The truth Is, we be
lieve that Herbst’s idea of Heaven, is a place where
they have nothing but Confederate graves, and where
they have Memorial celebrations every day, and
Father Ryan preaches throe times every Sunday.
It tm reported that two Federal soldiers went into a
saloon to get a drink on yesterday, and the mixer said
to them, “No, gentlemen, not to-day, by Heaven!
This day belongs to the Confederate soldiers, and I
can’t wait on you to day. Come to-morrow, but not
to-day.
Ladies of the Memoria l Association:
You have my thanks for the honor implied, in your
request that I should assist in the exercises of this
day, by reciting that beautiful tribute to the Confeder
ate dead, entitled “Immortelles,” written by my
gallant friend, Major S. R. Phillips.
It is an henor highly appreciated, to contribute any
service, however bumble, to exercises which freshon
our memories of the noble deeds and manly virtues of
fallen heroes—heroes who are ours. Yes, by all tlio
ties of blood and in the rich legacy of example—ours
in life and in death. It is a valued privilege to gather
with you round the resting places of these eacred
mains, and with all the pride of race say to our chil
dren, here lie your kinsmen, who died in the vindica
tion of truth; their deeds are worthy of your highest
emulation. These are
«* IMMORTELLES.”
We take the storied page,
Which faithlul age to age,
la splendid sentences the past recounts,
Its guilded annals read
Here Roman arms reach’d out
Beyond the sea; tho shout
Of conq’ring legions swept herAppian Way,
While kingly heads uncrown'd,
And humbl'd to the ground.
Her chariots led—mate trophies of her sway.
There, Greece, to whom belong
The noblest records, strong
And opulent in mitred Priests of thought,
Superbly rests, a Queen
Whose polish’d life is seen,
With art, and song, and valor all inwrought.
How grand the Past, we think,
While standing oa the brink,
Of these dim epochs:—hear the years rehearse
Their stately histories,
And see how each one lives,
In Illiads of marble and of verse.
These, some the scenes that rise,
To our bewilder’d eyes,
As down the sculptur’d steeps of Time we gaze;
O’er all there Is the hush,
Of centuries, but brush
Ana chisel each, their grandeur keeps ablaze.
Here, contemplation halts,
From ’round the granite vaults.
Where rest the sceptred sons of Greece and Rome,
We turn to our green hills,
Our valleys and our rills,
Where stand the ruins of many an humble home.
No works of art here,—
No monuments appear,
Commemorative of a lordly race;
Yet can we proudly stand.
On onr beloved land,
And look the garner’d ages in the face.
On Greece alone I call.
For she, e’en in her fall,
Maintain’d her grandeur and her fame; can she,
Among her warriors great,
However high their state,
Find one as lofty in his life as Lee?
I go to her with pride,—
With her I would divide,
If justice would permit it, name lor name;
I take her lustrous roll.
But fail to find a soul, I fame?
Whose ’scutcheon 'a half so bright as Jackson's
Where ehall I Btop ? not here.
Another, without fear,
Above reproach, with noble form and face,
My humble muse commands;
Here Sidney Johnson stands,
In Roman grandeur and in Grecian grace !
Nor here I stop; we meet
Another type, whoso feet.
Unto the end, war’s wine press faithful trod:
With Sidney’s lordly mien,
Along the battle plain,
Tho virgin soul of Ashby pass’d to God!
Here sweep with 6ong and jest,
The bravest and tbe best.
Of all dragoons that fac’d the battles’ glare,
Or fell upon its brink;
How proudly do we link,
Bold Stuart's plume with Henry of Navarre.
What, more ? Shall I not tell,
How, ’midst the shriek of shell,
And crash of shot, another lordly heart,
Unshrinking met its death—
How with its latest breath,
The voice of Bartow new vigor did impart!
Across tbe purple tide,
In manhood's splendid pride,
A noble form leaps onward to its fate;
The shades of battle close,
Alike o’er friends and foes,
But peerless Cobb silent lies in martial state l
“Whom most the Gods do love,
Die young”—they soar above
The lengthen’d conflict, the uncertain end:
They early wear the wreath,
Pluck’d from the grasp of death,
Thus, Tracy laurel’d, did Fame’s heights ascend !
I turn from these to those,
Who sternest met their foes,
Tho humble, unknown sous of Fame and Fate;
They had no hope—no thought
Of self, they grandly wrought,
For on them hung the honor of the State.
A thousand fields proclaim,
The splendor of their fame,
The lull orb’d glory of their matchless deeds.
Unwritten tho’ they are,
And all unsung, they wore
And will remain, among earth’s noblest creeds!
No need of monument,
Or work of art, content
Are we with our grand memories alone:
Our love to these we give,
For they shall long outlive,
The glowing canvass and the chisel'd stone.
Here shall fair nature bring,
At each return’g Spring,
The vernal splendors of the rolling years ;
And hero shall woman's woe
Express itself,—here flow
Above their hallowed mounds, her holiest tears.
These, after all, surpass,
E’en monuments of brass—
They shall exist long after those shall cease ;
To us of greater worth,
Denoting noble birth,
Than the historic marble Gods of Greece.
Guild’s Signal.
BY BRET HARZE.
Two low whistles, quaint and clear,
That was the signal the engineer—
That was the signal that Guild, ’tifl said—
Gave to his wife at Providence,
As through the sleeping town, and thence,
Out in the night,
On to the light,
Down past the farms, lying white, he sped !
As a husband’s greeting scant, no doubt,
Yet to the woman looking out,
Watching and waiting, no serenade.
Love song or midnight roundelay
Said what that whistle seemed to say;
“To my trust true,
So love to you!
Working or waiting, good night!” it Eaid.
Brisk youBg bagmen, tourists fine.
Old commuters along the line
Brakemen and porters glanced ahead,
Smiled as the signal, sharp, intense,
Pierced through the shadows ef Providence
“Nothing amiss,
Nothing !—it is
Only Guild calling his wife,” they said.
Summer and winter, the old refrain
Rang o’er the billows of ripening grain,
Pierced through the budding boughs o'er head,
Fiew down the track when the red leaves burned
Like living coals from tbe engine spurned;
Sang as it flew:
“To our trust true,
First of all Duty—good night,” it said.
And then, one night, it was heard no more,
From Stonington over Rhode Island shore,
And tho folk in Providence smiled and said,
As they turned in their beds, “The. engineer
Has once forgotten his midnight cheer.”
One only knew
To his trust true
Guild lay under his engine, dead.
Canine Extermination.
INDISCRIMINATE SLAUGHTER.
For the past few days some enterprising person or
persons have been scattering poison profusely among
the dogs of the city. No distinction has been made
with regard to ago or quality, but it has thus far been
a general onslaught, and many a poor dog baa been
sent bowling to his long home. The operations of
these gentlemen have been carried on under cover of
darkness, the weapon used being raw beef saturated
with poison.
While the Herald does not deem It important at
this juncture to take position on this hostile demon
stration, wc must, nevertheless, condemn the method
adopted for effecting the work of destruction, for the
reason that it is extremely hazardous and jeopardizes
human life. Hot only dogs, but rats and other ani
mals will eat this meat, and all must know that when
poisoned these rush for water; and how excellent the
chances for finding their way into a well or spring.
This done tho water is poisoned, and those who drink
must necessarily incur great risk.
is estimated that within the last week one hun
dred dogs have been killed, and yet the work pro.
greases. We suggest that as the Mayor and Council
have jurisdiction of this “dog” question, perhaps
their action bad better be recognized and obeyed.

Chancing to pass along Forsyth street in our peram
bulations around tho city, we were struck with the
beautiful appearance of the sidewalks on this street
near Brotherton, in front of those handsome new res
idences of our euterprising fellow-citizens, Aaron
Haas, J. T. Eichberg, J. Guthm&u, Joe Hirsch, M.
Hirsch and Henry Hirsch, and on examination, found
that the Bidewalks were of the Composition Stone
Pavement, made of Portland cement. The width
of the sidewalk is ten feet, and extends for
the space of three hundred and twenty-five
feet in thiB place. The pavement is four inches
thick, beautiful white and as hard as stone. Nothing
affects it, and it grows harder continually; is far pre
ferable to brick, equal to the stone, and can be placed
down at half the cost of the latter. For paving streets
it is manufactured six inches thick, though 60 far as
have been able to ascertain, it has not been used
on tbe street in Atlanta. Mr. E. Lauggesser intro
duced it here about one month ago, and he has orders
for a considerable amount of work. He is now en
gaged placing fifty feet on tbe sidewalk In front of tho
residence of D. Mayer. Messrs. W. P. Patillo and Wm.
Tittlebaum have also contracted for 230 feet in
front of their property on Forsyth street, while
Messrs. Brotherton and Steinheimer take 100 feet
on Whitehall street. These gentlemen, in procuring
this pavement for the sidewalkB, at their own expense,
have manifested a spirit of enterprise and displayed a
taste worthy to be followed by our citizens generally,
similarly situated, and desirous of adorning and beau
tifying their homes. We advise all to make it conveni
ent to call and examine this new feature in our
city improvement, as it must be seen in order to be
properly appreciated. This composition was first
manufactured at Portland, England, and introduced
Into tbe United States, first in New York city, about
three years ago. Iu tills l*et ucuucd city it is very pop
ular and extensively used.
At about half-past four o’clock last evening, while
nearly the whole police force were at the cemetery
two drunken yankees passing along Mitchell street be
came very boisterous, and when Policeman W. P.
Lanier, who was on duty in that vicinity made an ef
fort to arrest the parties they resisted, and refused
to submit, having first been politely re.
quested to go quietly to the barracks, aud,
having declined to do so, whereupon a contest
arose between one of the soldiers aud the officers,
resulting in tho discomfiture aud capture of
the former. One of the party did not ac-
actively oppose tho policeman. Mr. Lanior received
a stroke on the side of the face, and was also
forced to) use his baton to defend himself
and subdue the refractory violators ot law
and order. These mon no doubt concluded that in the
absence ot the main force they could run riot in the
city. The men were both deposited in the Hotel de
Barry-Butler, and have sent iu their cards for an in
terview with our Recorder at an early hour on Mon
day morning.
We call special attention to the advertisement ot
Mrs. Frank, to be found elsewhere. The stock of
goods offered for sale by this lady is really excellent,
and should be examined by all who desire purchasing.
Everything is sold very cheap and all purchasers are
liberally dealt with.
