Reports from the preachers in charge of Circuits ere finished as the first business of the morning. The conclusion the Conference reached after listening to the reports of the various pastors and delegates from the charges in the Atlanta District was that, while the prospects of religious revivals are good, nevertheless some great evila are found in the Church. Reverend Dr. Jesse Boring and General A. H. Colquitt spoke for a tew minutes with great earnestness concerning these evils, suggesting the propriety of a more rigid admin istration of the disciplinary rules of the Methodist Church. The practices of going to circuses, theatres, and such places were strongly condemned. It was re ported that some Methodists are venders of liquor by wholesale and retail—a fact that every true and loyal Christian should regret, and one that will likely soon receive the attention of pastors. Upon a proposition made by O. H. Jones, of Atlauta, about $75.00 was collected in cash and subscriptions to repair the orpan’s home building. This institution is in a flourishing condition, and has already accom plished more than enough good to repay men who have invested money in the enterprise. The Confer- THE COURTS. Superior Court.

At dark last night Mr. Daniel Morgan, one of the jury in the Bedell case, was seized with a violent par oxysm of some kind.

New Publications.—Mr. Hancock, of the firm of J. W. Burke k Co., has placed on our table " Cachet,’’ a Novel, by Mrs. Hamilton, which we have heard very highly spoken of. We have not yet had time to read it, but will do so at an early day, and give an extensive review of it. Moses, at the Kimball House, sells real imported Havana cigars. Moses is a fine judge of cigars, and he handles them so nicely that it really adds to the pleasure of smoking when he picks out a cigar for you.

Accident on the State Itoac. About two o’clock, Friday morniDg, five boxes of the inward bound freight train, No. 8, over the West ern and Atlantic Railroad, were thrown from the track when on the bridge about four miles this side of Ala- locna bridge, which caused considerable delay and in convenience, and an interference with the regular schedule; but, fortunately, no loss to the person of any was sustained. The wreck was removed in time to enable the lightning express passenger for New York to pass on schedule time. A I lying Veichle.—On yesterday a mule at tached to a dray under the superintendence of s descendant of Ham. while on Marietta street, became or affected to be frightened, and began measuring dis tance rapidly along the street, and during his flight came In contact with a buggy, one wheel of which he immolated on the altar of excitement. No little consternation was manifested by the denizens of that aection, on aeoount of the sudden snd unexpected change of the dull monotony. Very few of them are apprehensive of fatal results from the cholera, espe cially as it has not appeared in the city. We call attention to the advertisement of Mr. Win. H. Finch, Manager of the Southern Department of the Brooklyn Life. Mr. Finch comes among us with ▼ery high testimonials as to his capacity as an insu rance officer, and will no doubt contribute very mate rially to enhance the popularity of this old, well-es tablished New York company. Of all the New York life companies which were doing business in Georgia at the dose of the war, the Brooklyn Lite has kept up its popularity, and to-day stands higher than it ever did. The success which has already rewarded Mr. Finch, in bis efforts to extend the benefits of life in surance among our people, is a high evidence of the solid popularity of hie company and bis skill and orgy as an agent. Tl»e Merchants on Taxation—Their Me morial to the City Council. We publish below the memorial of the Chamber of Commerce to the Mayor and Council, which*was read j without license, before that body on Friday evening last, by Captain John N. Dunn, Chairman of the committee appointed to prepare it. memorial To the Hon. Mayor and Council of the City of Atlanta: Your memorialists, a committee from the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, beg to represent to your honorable body that the merchants of the city, as the same are represented by said Chamber, feel that they are and have been carrying more of the burthens of city taxation than they con sider justly theirs. That they feel much embarrass ment at being forced to make a public proclamation of what they consider a grievance; but believing that | your honorable body as at present constituted is in sense responsible for the matters of which we com. plain, we approach you conscious that we are not be fore a court that has pr.-jndged our cause. Under the present tax system we have but to call up an instance to illustrate to an impartial mind the very extraordi nary inequality of these impositions. There is Jones' a private dealer, who has a capital of $100,000, on which he pays your city a tax of $1,333, while Smith, on the opp°site side of *the street, is a grocery and a produce dealer who has $40,000 iu his business, and who paya $1,275 These figures are based on the experience of the deal ers of the city, and we think are substantially correct. Aud we feel justified iu making the broad statement before you, that a large number of the merchants of the city pay one hundred per cent, more tax in pro portion to the value of their estates than do the tax payers pursuing other avocations. Aud we will be equally frank in stating that under this system of tax ing grosB sales a large body or tbe traders of the city pay but a nominal tax, whereas if you force this latter class to make annual returns of what their capital in business really is, you will find that but There were a good many cases before yesterday morning, all of which wer with his usual skill. Thomas Richards was fined costs for r the Recorder 1 adjudicated uniug a dray A. Haralson was fined costs for George Maffit was fined costs for same offense. Robert Thomas, charged with same offense, was found not guilty. Vines Ware also got off—same charge. J. F. Crowley, charged with public indecency, was discharged. F. A. Chisolm, charged with failing to abate a nuis ance, was discharged. Tom Chisolm was fined ten dollars and costs for dis orderly conduct, quarreling and using profane lan guage. Richard Flewellyn was charged with hauling dirt in a loose body, but got off free. J. L. Lamar was fined ten dollars and costs for throwing offensive matter in the streets. Mobile Morgan was fined ten dollars and costs for disorderly conduct and quarreling. Ten and coBts were assessed against Henry Smith for same offense. Louis 8choder handed in ten and coats for disor derly conduct aud using bad language. William Taylor was another ol tbe unlicensed dray men. Five and costs. Lemuel James got off free—same charge. Jake Hunter paid five and costs for same offense. No more till Monday’s matioee. The Prismatic Railroad. Many persons when they first saw the notice in the Atlanta Sun of this new railroad were in doubt wheth er it was a joke or a reality. We confess that we were among the number, but a few days afterwards we learned that several of our capitalists had considered it of sufficient importance to visit Opelika and see for themselves. These gentlemen have returned, and all speak in rapturous applause of this new wonder XNC AMPMRNT. Jno. R. Gramling, C. P. J. S. Mitchell, H. P. L. H. Clarke, S. W. H. Dickson, J. W. W. R. Barrow.

It is one of the best stands in the city, and we have no doubt that Mr. Hancock will make it still more popular. Messrs. J. W. Burke k Co., have no doubt the largest collection of books and the most extensive as sortment of stationery and printing material kept by any house in tho South. Their long reputation for integrity and fair dealing render it unnecessary to say anything further in regard to them, except to state that country merchants can now find in Atlanta a stock of books, stationery and printing material equal to any to be found south of Richmond.

The Chamber of Commerce fully realize the difficul ties that this body must meet when they attempt to put just so much tax on each citizen as is his and no more; we must say you cannot do it—but that you will manifest a desire to approximate as nearly to that as possible, they had not doubted. Laboring under these circumstances and fully believing that wbst we ask will put money into the city treasury, and merchants who have been overburdened will be relieved, while those who have been derelict will be forced to do their duty to the city, that alj cause for complaint at discriminations will cease, and none will then pay taxes grudgingly. We ask adva lorem taxation. We are farther instructed to recom mend that the tax of one-fourth of one per cent, on commission sales remain and that this be the only duty laid on goods sold on commission. And now having fall confidence in the justice of sll we ask, and believing that every citizen who reflects will accord a hearty wish that w© may not be thwarted in these our moderate requests, we moat respectfully petition your honorable body to place us along side of other tax payers. Allow us to come to the City Hall once a year and deposit our public due, an advalorem tax; that we may go hence then without the fear of the Collec tor before our eyes for a season at least. Accept our thanks for the patient audience you Lave given us and our duty is done. J. N. Dunn, A. C. Wyly, T. L.

He expresses the belief that this new mode of transportation will super cede every other, and further stated that thia was the unanimous opinion of our practical men who bad wit nessed its operations. He stated that his company had already been offered five hundred thousand dol lars for the patent right, which th»y promptly re fused. Colonel Beck is a man ol untiring energy and indus try, and if there is really merit in this enterprise, which he claims, we have no doubt that we will soon see prismatic railroads leading from every plantation to the main branches of roads already established. At any rate, the people of Atlanta will not have long to wait to see whether it is all that it is represented, as Col. Beck states that he will certainly commence next week the construction of the road to Ponce DeLeon, and when we see thousands seated in the cars safely drawn by a dummy engine, we can then pronounce an opinion. Thare were many questions which we proponuded to the Colonel about this road, and his reply was, M only wait a lew days and you will see how these difficulties are overcome. I can’t show you by the model; the proof of the pudding is in the eating. Wait and yon will see.” We ahall wait, and hope to see; and if the road ia a success we will say ao, aud if it turns out to be a hum bug the readers of the Herald will know it.

During the game the following players distinguished themselves: Mr. Thrash, as a short-stop, ia without au equal in the South. Pemberton, behind the bat. is the same as of old. Healey is par excellence, and, as a dancer, rivals Mr. Clements. The pitching of Mr. Clements ia faultless. The batting of the Magnolias was splendid, indeed, aud it is hard to say who did the best, bnt Messrs. Patterson, Heet/.el, Reinhardt, Holliday and Goodnow all claim to have done the best. The Magnolias now claim tbe championship of the State, and are willing to contest the same with all rivals. Colonel McliolU ami the Cholera. Atlanta, Ga., June 28,1873. To the Editors of the Herald: Gertlemen; As I am continually receiving letters and dispatches, asking if there is any cholera in At lanta, and as more than half tbe people I meet ask if there have not been two cases of tbe cholera in the Kimball House, I write to correct the report. If there haa been a case in the city, I have not heard of it; and as to tha Kimball House, there has not been a person, sick with a aingle symptom that has the least tendency to cholera; in fact, the House has never been aa free of aickness as it haa for tho past three weeks. All reports to the contrary are maliciously false.' I have more families boarding in the House than ever have been before since it opened, all in perfect health, and I think, happy. Quite a number of families from dif ferent parts of the State have engaged board with me and are all waiting to be sure that the different re ports about cholera here are false, Respeo^ W. M.
