The following officers were steeled: President, Charles Platt; Vice President, Waiter A. Baker; Secretary, Col. T. W. Hoops war. W. D. BelL f proposes to was the Babecock Fire which requires a very email la a tetter recently received from ir ef the Fire Department of New York, he says: * Under all circumstances this machine is a valuable auxiliary te any Fire Department in a city defleteni water supply, like Atlanta. 1 regard It a necessity- I to call upon far • hope there will be a liberal this eert will fa soaee extent supply our deficiency water, which te mew a source of danger and anxiety. my!3 dit Upon the proper management of the Western and Atlantic railroad depends the prosperity of Atlanta. The Herald, ever watchful of the interests of the people, has at all times endeavored to keep posted concerning the management of its affairs, and when* •busts wete made to appear has spoken out boldly. We can truly affirm that in all we have writ- , that we have not been actuated by any other motive than a desire to serve the interests of the public. EXPLANATION OF WHAT FOLLOWS. We will state that from private information received this office, we learned sometime since that tbe va rious articles which appeared in this paper daring January and February and March, protesting against discrimination in freight, and ia answer to Pres'dent Brown’s letter, attracted the attention of the I When President Brown undertook to delend his right 'e his power to furnish cars to those to whom he pleased, and to withhold from others, we then asserted very positive language tbe impropriety of the offi cers of a public highway engaging in private enter prises, tbe success of which could be promoted by such discriminations. This position was so just that it could not be troverted, and so far engaged the attenticn of some of the leasees, that INVESTIGATION OF PRESIDENT BROWN’S MANAGE MENT the road was begun, which resulted in a quiet de termination, either to remove him or to demand that ahould change his course. One thing was plain, the road had done an immeme business, and yet the lessees had made no money, and they decided, at their meeting in April, to find out the reason. The result of this meeting was a promise on tbe part of President Brown to give his whole attention to the in terests of the road, and consequently be was retained. At this same meeting the leasees also decided that the good management of the road would be farther pro moted by the appointment of GEN. M’RAE AS SUPERINTENDENT. General McRae, deriving his authority from the same source that President Brown derived his, tered upon his duties independent of the control of President Brown. Here the trouble began which cul minated on yesterday in what came very near to a between these two prominent officials. It appears that for some time past General McRae has written letters which failed to reach their destina tion. He could not account for i t, but suspected NOTHING WRONG. Last Friday he wrote a long letter to a relative in which he spoke very fully of the management of the Western and Atlantic railroad. After recounting the difficulties he had to encounter, he took occasion to speak in emphatic language of President Brown, and is supposed that in this part of his letter he did not call the worthy President any pet names, bnt spoko of him in a manner that some of the Ex-Governor 1 mies might have pronounced very just. This letter was thrown iu the mail basket and General McRae fondly imagined that it was speeding its way to its proper destination. The sequel, however, proves that Superintendents of great railroads may err in their selection of mail carriers. THE LETTER DID NOT GO, but is supposed to have been dropped on the way. At any rate a little bird picked it up if it was dropped, and carried it straight to the bosom of the President. The President, very thankful for the watchfulness of his little bird, opened the letter, and like an honora ble man, read it to the last sentence. We know some persons will not so regard this conduct on the part of the ex-Governor, bnt how conld he show so little ap preciation of the faithfulness of his little bird as not to read the messages which it brought to him. read it and he pondered over It. and the more he pon dered the more his anger grew, nntil he could keep longer concealed. HE ACCORDINGLY TOOK THE DIRECTORS, one by one, and read the letter to them, to show them what a viper they bad introduced in his happy family the road. The Directors of cou/se felt very badly but declined to interfere. On yesterday THE PRESIDENT SENT FOR GENERAL MCRKA, and after a short interview concerning some minor differences, the President said to him: General, ”1 have always tried to work hariuoulonsly with you, and I regret that I have failed.” The General replied, "It is equally regretted on my part, I have only done what I considered my duty in all matters pertaining to tbe interests of those whom represent.” Here the President could hold In do longer, and pulling the said letter from his pocket, said, "Did you write that tetter?” McRae—Yes, sir; I wrote it, and I now say, your having it in yonr possession only convinces me that all it contains is true. MUTUAL CONTEMPT. • President Brown—Let me explain, General, how came in my possession. It was opened by some oi and directed to me in a lady’s handwriting. I can only express my contempt for the meanntss of the party who furnished it to me. McRae—And I, sir, hold the man who would »ad It and use it in equal contempt, yon bad said to ms that yon desired to know my private opinion of yon, you .could have bad it at any time, without resort to intercepting my private letters. I gave that gentleman, (pointing te an official sitting near) this opinion of you at least two weeks ago, and supposed be had told yon.” The official—General. I did not so understand it. Mcltes, (te the tbe official)—Do yon suppose I would have confided it te yon, if I had not supposed you would carry It at once to President Brown ? THE PRESIDENT THEN SAID, •General, what do you propose to do?” MsRse—‘ I propose to quit. I can no longer hold intercourse with you.” and so saying he left tha who, being one at tho lessees, was supposed to know something of the matter. Mr. Hill received our rep resentative with hie usual urbanity. Reporter—Mr. Hill, I have called to ascertain if you can furnish the Herald with any Information con. earning a serious difficulty between President Brown and Superintendent McRae of the Western and At lantic Railroad. Mr. Hill (very maeh surprised, not te say thunder, •truck)—i really have bq information to furnish you on the subject Reporter—But It is true that there has been a seri ous row between the gentlemen named ? Mr. Hill—Yon muet excuse ray not entering late any conversation on the subject Reporter—All I desire to know is, if there is any foundation for the story we have heard ? Mr. HiU—My dear sir, it is really qnite impossible for me to furnish yon with any information. Yoa must seek elsewhere. Here the learned gentleman dexterously opened a conversation on the subject sf the Louisiana troubles, and every time the Reporter tried to get upon the Western k Atlantic Railroad track be adroitly run In another direction. GENERAL M’RAE ATTACKED. Leaving hiss, as a hard case, our Reporter sallied forth again, and canght sight of General McRae walk ing up Peachtree street. Just then another Reporter of tbs Herald hov* ia view. Tbe two promptlv sur rounded the General. Reporter Ho. 1—Genera!, the Herald desires to know if it is true that you had a personal difficulty with President Brown to day. General—I have nothing to say in reply. I have just seen another of your reporters, and have request- him not to make publication of any of tbe reports your paper has heard. Reporter Ho. 2.—Quite impossible to comply Qener Our information is very important. General—I would much prefer that nothing was said. It is purely a personal matter. Reporter—If what we have heard is tiue, the pub- ought to know it. General—I don’t know what yon have heard, and I mast declino to furnish any information. It seems to me that you had better wait until you have received information from the parties concerned. Reporter.—Sorry we can’t oblige you, but the Herald must print the news. General gamiling).—Then you must print what you have heard without any statement from me. Reporter.—Yon can at least tell me if it is true that you have rss’gned ? General.—What ao idea! Ho, sir; and I do not in tend to rsaign. Here the General politely bade us good tveuing. and continued his walk up the street. TOM MAGILL AS A KNOW NOTHING. Very much disgusted, tbe Reporters were about return te tbe Herald office, when Tom Magill turned the corner. To attack and capture him was the work of a moment Reporters—Tom, tell us all you know about it Tom—About what? What the deuce are you talk ing about ? Reporters—About the row between Joe Brown and General MacRae. Tom—I can’t tell yen a word about it Reporters—Didn’t they have a row ? Tom—I can’t tell. Reporters—Did they swear any ? Tom—I can’t tell. Reporters—Was the letter really intercepted ? Tom—I can’t tell. Reporters—Do you mean to say that you don’t know anything about it? Tom—I mean to say that I can’t tall you anything about it Reporters, (simultaneously)—D n it! A MOVEMENT ON MR. PETRRS. Just then Mr. Morrill came in view and was vigor ously pumped, but he was bland and chlld-llke, and didn’t know anything. While trying to get some notes out of him Messrs. Hill. Dick Peters and Cole, were seen walking towards the car shed. Various stragetic movements were made by these reporters to cut off Mr. Peters from the main body of the enemy, but Mr. Hill covered his flank skillfully, and frustrated the mivement The threo remained in close conversation until the Georgia Railroad train was about to leave, when Cole got on board, and Hill locking arms with Peters, left tbe car shed. As a consequence, no opportunity was afforded tbe report- of interviewing Mr. Paters. Nevertheless, in spite of the reticence of the gentlemen named, we tbinx that the Herald carrier pigeon ; brough t the news correctly. THE COURTS- flupcrlor Court. HON. JN0. L. HOPKINS.

An interesting perjury case was progressing before Justices Butt and Hammond yesterday evening and will be concluded this morning at 9 o'clock. As the parties are highly respectable, and the whole affair evidently a mistake, we refrain from giving names. Cols. Spray- berry and W. H. Hulsey represent tho State; Judge O. A. Lochrane and Col. B. F. Abbott for the defense. John Cloud, colored, was arrested and carried be fore Justice Butt yesterday for dog stealing. The par ties, however, arranged the canine business among themselves. Marcus Greene, colored, charged on the affidavit of Lucinda Mack with larceny after trust. In stealing a fish barrel, was brought before Justice Muuday yes terday. The prosecutrix withdrew the warrant, and defendant paid costs* Thrasher for Stale; Thompson for defense. Police Court. SUHDAYJBERMOirS. The weather being fine the various churches of the citv were wall attended both morning aod evening, and the efforts ef the mlnietey were of their usual eloquent aod Impressive character. flecoud Baptist Church. Rev. D. Shaver presided at this church in the even ing. His remarks were based upon the follow ing passage of the Boripture. "He that cometh te God must believe that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him ” The exposition cf this text by the learned divine, was a masterly analysip aod prac tically and powerfully applied te the oongxegation. At the close of tbe sermon four candidates were bap tised by immersion, two gentlemen and two ladies. Evas* Chapel. Rev. J. £. Evans, D. D., of Auguste, preached at tis Church Sunday evening.

"And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts and the four elders, and no man could learn that song but tha one hundred and forty and fou thousand which ware redeemed from the earth.” Heaven is a place of rest and happiness, also a local ity; this is conceded to be above. The locality is at or near the throne where these redeemed are repre sented as sieging. Singing is meant to convey tbs Ides of happiness—the feeling and shouts of victory and triumph over the temptations of tbe world, tbe THE ROME BOYS. flesh and the devil. 'When have entered the sacred portals only the redeemed—thoae washed and made clean with the blood of the lamb, will as semble around this throne. These ware among tbe prominent points In tbe discourse of this venerable and able preacher. He made ona of the moat touch ing appeals to the reason and heart of his hearers to which it has ever been our fortune to listen. Many were moved to tears by his powerful appeals. His contrast of heaven, the Christian's final and happy home, with its gates of pearl and streets of gold' with the torments of bell and. the agony and writhing of the wicked was a marked tea. ture of his sermon. Manufacturers* Association. Met at 9 o’clock. Minutes read. Committee to confer with City Council, ask farther time in which to prepare a written report. Granted. Committee on Cotton Factory. Ho report. Committee on the Manufacture of Fertilizers, made very elaborate report, showing the lucresse of the use of commercial fertilizers, their Immense cost compared with their real value, the much greater sup ply of plant food in cotton seed hull—more than four times ss much aa in the best feriiiiz. rs on the market according to the report. On motion, the report alopted, and the report to be handed to tbe city pa pers for publication. Executive Committee had no report. Committee on Business bad no report. Committee on Statistics and Enrollment had no report. The Secretary bad a lively time counting tbe greens, as it was dues meet- tog. Dr. Hitchcock presented some very late res ting views with reference to the inequalities of freights paid by Eastern and Southern manufacturers. A. T. Finney concurred in Dr. Hitchcock’s views, and recommended a committee from this association and from the Chamber of Commerce to look into the matter and try to regulate It. J. C. Kimball said tbe freight question was agitating tbs whole North and West. Georgia railroads were making but little money even at present high rates of local freight. Through freights were too low. The only way to equalize freight s was to get up corapeti tlon, by manufacturing cotton, iron, etc. J. S. Peterson thought as they did. The President agreed with the previous speakers. J, C. Kimball wanted something practical done. He oved that the Prealdent appoint committees and give them certain articles to work up and find the cost of manufacture, probable profits, etc. Adjourned. RECORDER D. H. HAMMOND. That wheat masher whose case was continued on Sat urday, sent in ten and costs with a nice little note, and this mollified things considerably. Mary Parish, colored, came up with tears in her eyes, a tremor in her voice, and plead starvation in bar of the prosecution for disorderly conduct, throw ing rocks, etc. It seems that she lives below the cemetery iu the country, and her husband works in town and neglects to care for her. Saturday she cams to where he works aud demanded money or blood, and to render her demand so emphatic as to compel atten tion, coupled oaths with it, aud gave it the section oi a brick bat which pounced off her husband's pate un harmed. All this did not suit the police, and she complains that sundry aud several pieces of her hide woodbouud on the way to the station bouse. She con tributes ten dollars worth of muscle to macadamizing —and Roger Foley ’a note, usual remittance, was read and the greens placed to the credit of the city ex chequer. Ho. 75 did just like Roger. Strange how penitent whisky makes some folks. Mike McKeel is a*very bad boy. This is a fact, nc mistake, nor any doubt about it. The colored chil dreu of promise to the number of two had congre gated and assembled in his shop and near his forge, and wheu he commenced to curse and order them to git, they fell to telling how a cloud would come down and take them up, etc., at the great day of final accounts, and intimated that the McKeel folks would uot ride in that cloud. Just at this particular juncture McK applied a red hot iron to one of the colored riders, aud a cloud of ode rous smoke began to ascend from tbe neighborhood of his hips. They do say Me did not mind paying ten and costs for the fun ol seeing what he saw on that occasion. J. G. B. combines prudence with valor. A man named Weaver called him a — liar and be wove in with a stick and resisted the insult. That evening Weav er’s turn came and he knocked our hero about a rod— who on recovering remembered to have heard that, "He who fights and runs away, May live to fight auother day.” Usual floe in both cases. William Lambert is werse than a counterfeit Green back William. He is simply incorrigible and tbe only good thing about it is, he always owns up—ten and costs. Sandy Murrill is a whopping great big colored in. dividual and couldn’t recollect anything but that It was mean whisky. The woman he whaled with a chair has a better memory and the city gets $5 aod costs. The boy in blae was a keeper of sheep but did not always stick to his pastoral life, consequently he paid the usual price of a common drunk. This closed the chapter for the day. ChrLtUa Church. In the absence of Elder T. M. Harris the pastor of this church, Rev. F. P. Perdue officiated and preached very interesting, though short sermon. The Lord’s Supper was celebrated after the sermon was preached, It is on every Sabbath. There was no service at this church in the evening on account of the expected celebration of the anniversary of the Bible Society at tbe Central Presbyterian Church, which was, however, indefinitely postponed. The Reading Boom sells the best Liger Beer in Atlanta—6 cents s glass. The Synagogue.

THE rBiqUXTOUft HZBALD. How the question aria—, now did the Herald get this information, b 3 canes we now a—a the ptibtto that we did not get it from General McRae, or Presi dent Brown or anybody connected with them. We, too, have a little bird which has kept ns steadl. ly and truthfully informed of all thalbas happened on tbe Western and Atlantic Railroad. We do not know what sort of a bird it is, bat we do know that It always speaks the truth, ee it has never yet deceived us. We alee, however, to discharge this bird from oor service whenever it brings we private tetters to seed which were Intended for others. THK THREE UlOOENEt. A Futile Hunt After the Official Truth Ecu Hill, Gsrnral McRas audTeau Ha* A First-Class Opportunity for a Profita ble Investment. We call the special attention of capitalize deair lug to make safe aud profitable Investments to the adver tisement to be found in another column of the Whit field Flour Mills, offered for sale by Messrs. W. C. Tilton k Co. One of the partners being on the of departure for Europe. Mr. Tilton has decided upon selling the whole, but, if that be preferable, only tbe interest of the retiring partner will be disposed of. These are the only mills at Dalton, and monopolize the trade of that section of country for miles. Situated near the junction of two railroads, they receive grain from all parts of the West and from the surrounding coun try without breaking bulk. In addition, the very best and most improved machinery ia used, thus enabling the mills to make the finest qualities of flour. Ho bet ter investment could be required, as the mills have mads, lag the past few months, some forty per cent, profit on tha capital invested in them, and there is every probability of this largo profit being increased by • constantly enlarging business. Those who desire to purchase only the interest of the retiring partner, will find in Mr. Tilton a gentle man of the strictest integrity, and of high business qualifications. In Whitfield, Murray, and throughout North Georgia generally, there is no man who stasis higher in the confidence of the people, or with whom more pleaeant business relations can be enjoyed. This is not written as a mere advertising notice, but from a personal knowledge of Mr. Tilton’s character, and of the very profitable business which be offers for sale either in part or In whole.

The house of worvhip of our Israelite friends was, on Saturday last, crowded with viaitora to witness the very interesting ceremony of a Bar Mitzwah. A Jew ish lad, when he reaches tbe age of thirteen years, becomes a religious member of the oo mm unity oi Israel, taking upon himself all the duties of a reli giouB Israelite, hence the word Bar Mitzwah, which means tbe sou of the law. Master Jacob Menko, the son of our esteemed citizen and well-known merchant, Mr. Joseph Menko, was the young man who entered the congregation as a religious member on this occa sion. After tbe usual Psalms and prayers were read, the thorsh (the scrolls, which are written on parch ment, containing the five books of Moses) was taken out of tbe holy ark, aud the first section of it read by the Rev. Dr. Bonhoim. Master Menko was then called up, and in accordance with the usage, read the second section. At the conclusion of the reading and benediction, Mr. Bcnheim announced that the young man would address his parents and the congregation. The address of the young man was feeling and lm presalve. The pastor then delivered a sermon, in which he ad monished every father and mother to participate in the joys of the occasion, with tho parents of Bar Mitz wah. For the information of those of our readers not familiar with the character of the addresses delivered by the young Israelite, on his reception into the com munity, we publish the oue made by Master Menko, which reflects credit on the mental faculties of oi young. THE ADDRESS. My Dear Parents and Friends.—It has been a tom iu Israel that a Bar Mitzwah speaks the sentiments of his religion before the congregation. He expresses his obligation aa a religious member, and this gives evidence that he understands the importance and boll- ness of the covenant which God in His Majesty sealed on Horeb’s clouds with our forefathers. now about to enter into that covenant, and will not disappoint your expectations. I will prove to you at this holy hour of my life that the law which Moses has given us is an inheritance to the children of Israel that law which commands, “ Ye shall be holy, for the Lord your God, am holy,” and ” every man shall honor his father and mother,” or ” yet shall not do unrighteousness in judgment; thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty, but In righteousness shalt judge thy neighbor, and love thy neighbor as thy sell” that a law which commands a strict justice, has such a constitution of righteousness, shall be my guide through life and out of tbe depths of my heart I ex press my gratitude toward thee, my Heavenly Father with the words of our Lord: Blessed art thou O Lord our God, King of the Uni verse, who hath made me an Israelite.” Though know the obligations and duties of an Israelite are numerous. If thou, O God, will assist, I can fulfil tbe same. 1 therefore call upon thee my Heavenly Father, to strengthen mo in my effort* and to assist in my undertaking. Let those teachings and which my holy religion has cnlcsted bo an overlaating memorial to keeping my resolutions for tbe future alive that I may stand upright amid the temptations of life. Let me, 0 God, never forget tho sacred duties which I have perform. I know thy law, O God, is true, that agrees with reason, that man’s hope and confidence must be based upon Theo alone, that ha must work and watch for hta own and hla neighbors welfare and comfort. I must perfect my capacities which Thou hast given me and must use the same as a u—fnl member in tbe chain of human sooiety. Through life 1 shall with pleasure take lessons from the old and wise, will advise my neighbors who are enced than myself, will be a true friend to the friendless, a helper to the an aasieisi.t to tha poor, a thankful my beloved parents, and a true brother to — y sisters. How shall I return thanks unto the Lord for all He has don# for me and my parents; for all tha benefits have received from their hands In educating my and mind. And now, thou God. listen to my humble prayer, and grant its petition. Grant my a long life ot happiness. Let them live te see joy on my beloved sisters aud myall. Grant —a, O, Gad, thy protaction that I may remain healthy In body and soul. Let me live to see joy In the midst of —y relatives and friends. Reward my parents with all that is good, and remove sorrow and affliction from them. May the words of my month and the meditations of my heart be acceptable Ia thy O, God. who art my rook and redeemer. Am Isham B. O’Neil, convicted of murder for killing Little last summer, refused a new trial by the Su preme Court, and now confined in prison under sen tence of death—the day designated for bis execution being the 13th of June, made an effort te escape from jail one night last week, but failed, and his deep laid were thwarted. While it ia an axiom that ** one man in despair doss as much as ten,” he was also doubtless encouraged to this undertaking by the successful exit of Harrison Barker from the same prison a few weeks since. But then he was not similarly situated, and therefore not so fortunate. He la confined in a cell with a convict named Kelly. On the evening that he attempted to escape, his wife bad visited the jail to see him, and it is kupposed that he received hie assistance from her in the shape c •mall shoe knife, with which, when it dark, he cut a hole in the floor his cell about large enough to pass through. Underneath the floor there are iron bars to secure the prisoner and prevent just such Jan occurrence as an escape. There was also a small piece of wood across the cell under the floor placed down for nailing the plank against, and this, O’Neil set on fire and burned through, being supplied with matches. Whether he passed through the qpening thus made, is not known, but if he did, he found himself in a more secure place than before, for the reason that ha wai fronted by a strong rock wall which impeded progress. This work was discovered by Captains G. Whit Anderson and John S. Wise next morning. These gentlemen had watched bis opera tions during the night for a short time, and saw his discomfiture, and when interrogated O'Neil owned up to bis woTk. That he attempted to escape is not at all surprising, for it is but another confirmation of the well established fact that s "drowning man will < at s straw.” Nor ia it surprising to those familiar with the construction aud security of this prison, that he made a miserable failure. We learn that he has been put in irons, and we satisfied that with the increasing vigilance of the officers as hitherto displayed, no other prisoners will obtain their freedom from the walls of the jail unless delivered by dae course of law.

To the Editors or the Herald In the Herald of Sunday morning last, you disclose the fact of many dogs being found dead upou our streets and premises of our citizens. Before going further I must, out of charity, presume that the dog-killers act under "Authority conferod by the Mayor and Council.” There are many decisions of our higkeet courts which recognize property in a dog; whish property the citizens cannot be divested of through the clan destine process of poisoning while the owner and his family sleep. But If tho Mayor and Council iume the "highsr law,” I know better place to commence its enforcement than upon the premises of Mayor Hammock, where ■Carlow keeps watch at night and plays with his chil dren in the morning.” But to avoid partiality th* dog-killers should creep upon the premises of an Al derman and quiet his domestic animals. After which he would probably vote to "reconsider,” on the ground that the rule was not expeoted to be enforced ”oo side of the street.” There may have been more dogs in our city ii some people wanted, but they have served a useful purpose in destroying rats more thoroughly than the cats and trapa in this city, combined with the cel ebrated rat powders. You may retire the dogs; but within two y< after I will take tbe judgment of grain and dealers whether rata are preferable to dogs. But there is another view of this matter. There many families who rely upon their dog ss a guard of their homss at night, and at times he is a companion for our children and shows affection for them. Aa one among the first to find my pet "stiff aa a pa ir,” I will give a new hat to know who poisoned him. Jab. L, Dcnnimq A Caw Tklef Captured.

Tha Chicago Ale Depot, ef whkh he la genial and efficient proprietor, baa a reputation Their Arrival in Atlanta on Sunday— Hospi talities by our Citizens—A Dinner at the National Hotel by tbe Atlanta Firemen—Speeches by Mr. Burns, Chief Diggers and IL W. Grady— A Dty Pleasant ly Spent— Off for Augus ta. It was announced in the Herald of Sunday, the members of the Rome Fire Department, heeded by their able and popular Chief, Mr. Hills, reached At lanta by the morning train, aud were warmly welcom ed to the city by a number of our citizens. A FINE BODY OF MEN. We must congratulate our friends at Rome ou the admirable appearanco of their firemen. A finer look ing body of men we havo seldom seen. Their physique was superb and their uniforms handsome. Among them were some of the most prominent citizens of Rome, while all won the admiration of our people by their gentlemanly deportment. . TAKEN IN HAND. On arriving some went to the hotels while others were captured and carried home by friends who bad gone to the depot to meet them. Before breakfast had arrived many had received invitations to private residences, and an opportunity was offered to renew old acquaintances, make new ones, and take a glance at our Gate City which the Romans fondly dream will some day become an interesting suburb of their to-be mighty metropolis—the Pittsburg of the South. HOSPITALITIES TENDERED. Meantime the Atlanta firemen were on the qui rive. Although they had not received any notification of the intended visit, with accustomed hospitality they promptly determined to return the courtesies, as best they could under the circumstances, which had been ehown them in times past by their Rome brethren Accordingly, Chief Biggers, who is always foremost in such things, Foreman Immel of Ho. 1, aud the fire &n of the city generally, hsld a meeting and decided tender the Romans a dinner at the National Hotel. THE DINNER. Mine host Owens was apprised, and he set to work to get up one of those rechere collations for which his hotel is famous. At about half past three o’clock the Roman's filed into the dining room. Some of them, not having been apprised in time had already taken dinner at private residences. These, however, made desper ate efforts to dispose of some of the goodly viends placed before them, from the roast chicken to the salad, and from the strawberries aud cream to the ice earn. BRIEF SPEECHES. Dinner over, Chief Hills rose and called upon ex- Senator Burns, of Rome, to return the thanks of the Rome firemen to their Atlanta Comrades. Iu a brief, hitting speech, Mr. Burns expressed the appreciation of his townsmen of the courtesy shown them, and promised that if ever the Atlanta firemen visited his city they would endeavor to reciprocate the pospitali- ties of which they had just been the recipients. In response, Chief Biggers expressed the regrets of the Fire Department of Atlanta, that they had been previously apprised of the purpose to stay < in this city for the day. Thus they had not the time to make such preparations for the reception of their Rome comrades as would in any way vie with the courtesies th* Atlanta firemeu had received at the bands of their Rome comrades, on their visit to the latter city. Iu concluding, he tendered an invitatiou from Ho. 2, to a supper to be given at six o’clock at their house. Both Mr. Burns and Mr. Biggers were loudly ap* plauded, and upon the latter taking his seat, Mr. H. W. Grady, formerly of Rome, was called upon. He expressed regret at his inability to deliver an promptu speech without two weeks notification, ad ding that besides the Rome fireman WwUld not like to be detained by speech-making as they were all i ions to take a ride on the street cars. [Laughter.] OFF FOB AUGUSTA. After cigars were bauded around the party broke up and the remainder of the day was spent by the fire men in riding and walking through the streets of the city, visiting the various poiute of interest and "doing” Atlanta generally. At half past eight o’clock our visitors started for Augusts, giving a h< arty cheer for Atlanta as the train moved off, which was heartily responded to by the crowd which bad assembled under the car shed BAOON-Stock fata.

It will be seen that our notice of the indiscriminate slaughter of dogs now going on in the city, which ap peared in Sunday’s issue of the Herald, has elicited a card from Judge Dunning, which we publish else where, without indorsing the position assumed by him that, the work progresses under and by virtue ol authority "conferred by the Mayor and Council,” for we are not apprised that such is the case, and, to our certain knowledge, Alderman McDuffie protest that his skirts are clear of the innocent blood reoently profusely shed. Dan never intends to raise his hand or lend his voice in aid of this crusade, have not interviewed the other members of the Coun cil on this dog question, but having procured the opinion of Recorder Hammond on the subject, think It pertinent here, and therefore give it in brief: He states that "there are dogs enough in the city to supply the whole universe if they were properly distributed.” Thus it will be seen how men differ ou important questions like this. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT. A Negro Caught by the Train His Recovery Doubtful. Ob Sunday evening last s seriwus accident occurred at Dalton. The inward bound passenger train c te road run against a negro man, who was walking the track, and the lender caught him up, and threw him a distance of ten or twelve fe6t. He fell off the side of the road ou hia back, but not a bone was broken. The only signs of injury were his bleeding at the bom. He was taken home, and at last accounts was still living, though the shock to his system was great aud his recovery ia doubtful. The Boston city fathers have discovered that they have been maintaining a normal school for ten years illegally. Financial and Commercial Herald Office, Monday, May 12. 5 r. x.
