THE ATLANTA DAILY HERALD
HA8 THE LARGEST CIRCULATION
OF ANY PAPER PUBLISHED IN THI8
SECTION OF GEORGIA.
THE PLAGUE. NEW YORK NEWS.
AND UNWISE EDITORIAL.
A city contemporary, in a foolish and lugu
brious leader in yesterday’s paper, in which
it announced the stern inflexibility with which
it would alwafb tell the whole truth, after
frightening the people to death with mock
heroic groaning, and leading them to believe
that a platoon at least of choleraic victims
were lying in our borders, announced with
all the gravity imaginable that it must disclose
the fact of—what ?—why, that a woman fugi
tive who had fled from the wosrt cholera dis
trict in Chattanooga, and who arrived in At
lanta sick with Hit first symptoms of the disease,
had died. If the Constitution had simply an
nounced the fact, no harm would have been
done, but the sensational editorial with which
it was accompanied tends to do Atlanta great
injury.
The Hecald knew of this case—through
Mr. Farrar first, and Dr. Logan next—on the
night before it was published; but, upon Dr.
Logan declaring that there wa$ not a single
case of cholera in Atlanta which had started
here, and that he had no fears of sporadic
coses spreading, we deemed it best to soy noth
ing of it If our excitable cotemporary desires
any more basis on which to attempt another
'panic, we can inform it that Dr. Boring, who
attended the deceased lady, informed a
Herai.d reporter yesterday, that he thought
her husband was probably infected with the
disease before he and his wife left Nashville,
and although he had gone into the country,
there was danger that the disease might de
velop in him at any moment. It will be seen
from our reporters* column to-day, that the
city is in perlect health; that no cholera case
has been developed in Atlanta; that there is
no cholera here, and no danger of it; and that
on several occasions, sporadic cases have been
brought here, and in not a single instance
has it ever spread. When Atlanta has
the cholera, the Herald will say so, and the
people know it. Hence the ill-advised article
of our cotemporary created no excitement
here yesterday. If it is going to get up an
editorial leader every time a sporadic case ap
pears here, it will probably give him lively
employment as long as ten passenger cars a
day from Nashville and Chattanooga come
huddling through here.

The Secretary of the Interior to-day received the
following from Governor Campbell, of Vfyovteg:
I spent yesterday at Rawlins, sad found in relation
to the trouble with the Indians, that on the 27th uh.,
a boy with a team came into Rawlins slightly womnded
and reported that be had been shot by Indiana. A
party of ten citizens started in pursuit, and on the
morning of the 28th overtook a band of 39 Indians,
from whom they demanded two homes which they
recognized as belonging to the cittoena. The Indians
refuand to give thAi up, ends fight ensued. The
party returned to Rawlins with eleven ponies and
rifle captured from the Indians, of whom they report
several killed and wounded. None of the whites were
injured. It cannot be ascertained until Agent Little*
field is heard from whether the aCsir will lead to any
further trouble with the Utea.

TWENTY-SEVEN DEATHS YEr.TERDAY.
Special to the Herald.
Chattanooga, July 3, 11 p. m., 1873.
The total deaths here to-day as reported at
the City Physician’s office for burial permits,
12; cholera 6. There were 27 deaths ,in the
city to-day, reported at the undertakers, of
which 1C are reported from cholera. Of this
number, twenty-five of the total were col
ored and four white. Fourteen were buried by
the city. The people are getting a little dis
couraged, but are not foolishly panic strick

per tends much to keep the excitement under
control.

i to the Herald.
Panama, June 24,1873.
A letter from Lima the 13th to the Star and Herald
nay a: “The present position of Americans in Peru
diplomatically speaking, is as anomalous as unprece
dented. Mr. Thomas, the Plenipotentiary of the
United States, has studeously declined since his as
sumption of bis dignity any effort to make himself
quainted with the wants of his countrymen in this
republic: he recently left his legation, ostensibly for
a trip to California, and carefully ignoring the rights
of Colonel Williamson, the Consul at Callao, and
officer whose proceedings have always met with the
approval of his government, to hold the vacant post
during Mr. Thomas’ absence, resigned the charge of
the legation to a private secretary, who possesses no
diplomatic character whatever, being a simple
ployee of Mr. Thomas, and without any commission
from the government at Washington, and consequent
ly our peopls in Peru find themselves in tho peculiar
state referred to. Should any pressing necessity occur
for diplomatic action or intervention, and it is well
known that in these Republics such occasions are fre
quent. we would be obliged to patiently await the
torn of Mr. Thomas from his pleasure voyage.
The notorious s‘eamer Virginias is again in the har
bor of Aspinwall. A Spanish man-of-war entered the
port on the 21st ult., and on the same day the United
States steamer Kansas. What the mission of the
Spanish vessel is has not transpired; but the Kansas,
it will be remembered, is the same ship which,
year ago. conveyed the Virglnius out of port from
under the guns of Spanish frigates. The Virginlus
ts undergoing repairs, and it is understood that
the Kansas will remain until lur repairs aro com
pleted.
The Cuban General is still at Aspinwall.
The Hon. J. The ring to®, lately appointed United
States Consul to Aspinwall, on applying to the Bogota
for the usual “Exequatur” was refused on the ground
that the Government of Colombia recognized no such
place as Aspinwall, only that of Colon. Secretary
Fish, on being Informed of the refusal appointed
Tborington Council Agent at Aspinwall, with powers
Consul, and of requiring no “Exequatur.”
The steamer Benicia waa in MazalUn on the 12th
she was to hava sailed in two days for Panama direct
to the United States.
The steamer Omaha will leave this port on the 25th

Palacios and his followers are marching on Guate
mala, and If they succeed in entering that territory
two or three days' march, they are almost certain
overthrow the existing government of President Bar

ADVICES BY MAIL.
AT CHATTANOOGA.
The Chattanooga Times of the 3rd has these items:
The following burial permits were isued by the City
Physician, for the 24 hours ending at s p.m. yester
day:
Wm.Coffey, white, cholera,
M. Simmons, white, cholera.
Thos. Hopgood, white, cholora.
Jeremiah Murphy, white, effects of alcohol.
Mrs. Frank Hughes, cholera morbus.
Eddie Dcaring, white, four years old, disease un
known.
F. R. Pouglc, white, cholera; and three negro women
of cholera.
J. H. Vandeman, City Physician.
There were four other cholera deaths, and twb from
other causes, not reported at the City Physician's
office at 8 p.m.
Tho wet weather of Saturday, Sunday aud Sunday
night and the fogs since appear to have combined
with the indiscretion of a good many people to send
our mortuary list to a higher figure than it has yet
reached. We are of the opinion that the most of the
increase is ch&rageable to indiscretion in diet.
Some over critical persons whose zeal for sensa
tional news far exceeds their judgment or knowledge,
complain that our reports of cholera deaths do not
include near ail. These people are very unwise; and
by their chattering of what they know nothing about
contribute to the panic. Our reports are made upon the
basis of the cemetery, and are absolutely correct
Sometimes it may happen that u person dies late in
tho evening and we do not get the information from
the City Physician's office until next day. Then two
ol cholera and two of cholera iDfantum that
proved fatal in the city have been carried to the
country for burial; all of which, with the uarocs, were
reported in the Times. Wo are of the opinion tha^
since the so-called cholora broke out here not a single
death from that cause has occurred but has beeu re
ported in our columns.
The Times denies that thero is any cholera at
Rhea’s SpriDgs, and the Nashville papers report that
the disease is spreading in the country suburbs
around that city.
AT KNOXVILLE.
The Prets and Herald of tho second, Las thi.«:
Again we had a s omewbat breezy seusatiou yester
day evening, resulting from the deaths of Jacob
Easterly and Col. Davis, in our city. As usual, the
report gained currency teat they had died of cholera
and, possibly, numbers of our citizens retired to their
weary couches last night in that belief. The facts,
according to our best information, are these:
Colonel Davis, an aged gentleman, died of a pro
tracted, old-fashioned, slow case of flux. His physi
cian informs us that there was not a symptom of chol
era in his case.
Jacob Easterly, a teamster in North Knoxville, had
had something like flux for seven or eight days. For
two days past he had been on a “ spree,” and yester
day evening, especially, drank immoderately of whis-
About 11 o'clock yesterday morning he was taken
with violent vomiting and purging, the discharges be-
ng not rice water, but unmistakable whisky dis
charges. His irregularities and imprudence were
enough to give him a conjoint attack of both Asiatic
and American cholera, supplemented by Mexican di
arrhoea.

THE PRESS ON THE WALWORTH VERDICT.
Neither young Walworth’s countenance nor dume|p-
or underwent any change after the delivery of bis
verdict. The prevailing impression here was, that he
would be acquitted.
Tho Tribune says, “never within the memory of
this generation has any great criminal issue been so
promptly and satisfactorily tried in Now York.”
The World says, “severity of the verdiet indicates
that the reaction of the mawkish pity
which lor so long a time bore a sway in the juiy
boxes, has begun. Tho Times says, “the moral effect
of the verdict was heeded, and au acquittal would
have been au invitation to every youth haviDg a disso
lute or tyranical father to whip him.”
After alluding to the array of promincut defenders
of the prisoner and the science generally attending
the trial, the Herald Bays: “The wonder is that Jus.
tice herself was not blind on this occasion; but society
had to b* protected, and however cruel or brutal, the
trial was conducted in the most exemplary and digni
fied manner.”
The heat tc-day exceeded any this summer. The
thermometer during the evening ranged from 97 to 93
in the shade.
Three families bound to Chicago arrived here re
cently from Germauy and were kidnapped and sent to
North Carolina, where, after working a month at the
roughest farm work, escaped and begged their way
back here. They found tickets in possession of the
officers of the Board of Emigration which had been
sent them from friends in Chicago. Mayor Havemey-
cr is investigating the case.

against the Government to-day by the Union Pacific
bondholders when they collected their interest.

At Hartford the Connecticut Senate to-day passed a

for opposing it.
The Senate rejected the MU providing ter a Oonstl-
.utiooal Convention.
We repeat this morning precisely wliat
maintained all the time, that Atlanta has not yet devel
oped a single case of cholera, and that the health of tho
city is exceptionally good. There was one case of
cholera brought to the city from Chattanooga. A Mr*.
Simpson, the daughter of Mra. Smith on Clark street,
and her husband fled from Chattanooga and arrived
here on Sunday night. Mrs. Simpson at that time had
the diarrhoea, and severo headache, and simply took
some medicine prescribed by lier mother. She con
tinued to grow worse and worse, and on Wednesday
night she died.
Her premises, bed clothing, kc., Lave been care
fully disinfected, and there is no possibility of the
disease spreading from that source. Dr. Boring, from
whom the above facts were obtained, informs us that
her husband, who says that he and his wife life in
the most fatal part of the city iu Chattanooga, has very
probably the seeds of the disease in bis system, and is
liable to be seized with the disease at anv moment.
He has gone into the country.
WHAT THE PHYSICIANS SAY.
Three Herald reporters wero sent to interview the
physicians of the city yesterday, and each of them
failed to find any trace of tho cholera, and thero
i be among the physicians (who know best)
absolute feeling of assuranco that the cholera cannot
become epidemic in Atlanta.
WHAT EX-MAYER WILLIAMS SAYS.
Desiring to get the exset statement of the cholera
panic occurring here in 1868, a Herald reporter called
ex-Mayor Williams, who was in authority
that time, and got the following signifi
cant fact: That in 1866 a company of Yankee soldiers
came here, infected with the disease. It lasted about
one week, and there wero twelve deaths, every one of
them being soldiers of the com}any who had come here
sick, except one, that being a nurse who was drunk
nearly all the time he waa nursing them. On auothcr
occasion a Mr. Nolaon died here, and not
another death followed; and on several occasions
sporadic cases have happened here, but in no
instance have they spread. Hence we are safe In be-
lieving that Atlanta is, aa far aa earthly towns can be,
proof against a cholera epidemic.
THE TOWN NULL OK STRANGER*.

Atlanta Street Railroad. ..
To the Editors of the Herald :
As there is considerable interest manifested
in this branch of our public enterprises, we
give below the petition of the West End and
Atlanta Street lvailroad Company, the kind of
road proposed to bo built and the action of
Council thereon.
Atlanta, Ga., June27, 1873.
To R. C. Young, J. C. McMillan, mul D. A.
McDuffie, Esqrs., Hired Committee of ti'y
Council:
The following is-the plan of the Street Rail
road, that the West End aud Atlanta Street
Railroad Company proposes to build from the
Passenger Depot to tho Ponce DeLeon
Springs, and for which they respectfully ask
your approval.
The road we propose to build, shall be
built and constructed as follows:
First, The tressel work shall not be lower
than twelve feet, except at such points as the
Street Committee shall give permission to
build lower, and shall be built strong and
substantial. We shall not occupy exceeding
three feet in width of the street next to the
gutter. This tressel work will not interfere
with any street which it may cross.
Second, There shall be a strong aud very
substantial prismoid rail of wood on this
tressel, not less than twenty inches, or more
than twenty four in base. This prismoid
track will be a strong and continuous cable,
with sufficient strength to support twice the
amount of weight that will eyer be placed
upon it. It will be constructed of strong
timber securely tied to the tressling, and
mounted at the apex with an iron rail.
Third, Upon this road we will run a train
of cars, the cars to be substantial aud very
strong, and propelled by an engine placed
within a car where it canuot ever be seen
from without the car. There will be no
steam thrown out from the side, no sparks
from the smoke-stack, nor any noise made
that will frighten a horse. This train will run
so smoothly upon the track that there w ill be
no rattle or chatter, nothing to annoy busi
ness men or the most sensitive ear.
Fourth, These cars are kept securely upon
this prisiooid track by combination of wheels
i follows:
First, There are two center wheels on the
iron rail, one at either end of the car. These
center wheels are maintained upon the track
by revolving flanged wheels, one upon either
side. These revolving flanges lock or key
this center wheel to the truck, so that it
makes it utterly impossible to throw the car
off the track.
Second, Thero will be a wheel upon the
side of the prismoid with strong wrought
iron bars to the side of thj car, these side
wheels maintain the car in an upright position
upon the track and prevents any vibration
of the car, with this system of wheels the car
is maintained in equilibrium upon the track
and absolutely secure. The steps to the track
to occupy only width of the guttering, and to
prevent no obstacle to the free exit of the
water, and tho steps to be closely closed so
that ladies can mount without difficulty.
Respectfully,
(Signed) N. L. Angiek,
J. M. Harwell, President pro tern.
Secretary and’Treasurer.
The street# or route asked for are Pryor
street, commencing on tho north side of the
Union Passenger Depot to Wheat street,
thence on to Calhoun street, thence to Hous
ton street, thence to Fort street, thence to
Cain street, thence to Hilliard street, thence
to Harris street, thence to Jackson street,
thence to Rolling Mill street, to the corpora
tion line.
(Signed) M. G. Dobbins,
John M. Harwell, President.
Secretary and Treasurer.
It' we understand the question correctly,
the Legislature of 1866 incorporated the At
lanta Street Railroad Company, and in that
charier we find this section: “That said com
pany shall have the exclusive power and au
thority to survey, lay out, construct and
equip, use and employ street railroads in the
city of Atlanta, subject to tho approval of the
City Council thereof, for each route selected,
first had aud obtained, before ibe work
thereon shall be commenced.’'
Of this company Mr. Richard Peters is
President, and John II. James, Benjamin E.
Crane, T. W. J. Hill, G. W. Adair, and B. J.
Wilson, are directors. It has constructed
first class roads on tho lines, known as West
EdJ, Marietta, Peachtree, Decatur, Taylor’s
Hill and McDonough streets, aud now have
them iu successsul operation, which are giv
ing general satisfaction to all classes of the
community. The fare is as low as could be
asked, und tho lines aro well equipped. Ihis
company has applied for, and has the profile
of a route on Pryor and New Whitehall streets,
and the material on hand to build it au soon
as tho work can be done. It has also the pro
files of several different routes to Ponce do
Leon Spaings: One on North Avenue from the
present terminus of the Peachtree street line,
another on Young street from the present
terminus of the Decatur street line, and one
direct from the centre along Houston street
to a point east of Butler street branch, as far
as the line would probably pay, or the present
population would justify.
The last Legislature granted a charter, a
duplicate of the first one, to a new company.
This last charter, tho old company insists, is
in violation of their charter and of a vested
franchise —alleging that, under the protection
of the exclusive rights clause, they have in
vested in good faith over one hundred and
twenty-five thousand dollars, and that they
are in good faith carrying out the letter and
spirit of their charter, and that they will le
gally resist any attempt on the part of the
new company to erect any roads iu the city
under their charter.
Here opens a tine field for the lawyers. Dr.
N. L. Angier, the president of the new com
pany, owns a mineral spring about two miles
from tho Kimball House, and is anxious to
have a line of street railroad to his spring,
and, in order to accomplish it, has organized
a company nuder the new charter, and pro
poses to test the validity of the same. This
is all well enough, and a matter to be deter
mined by the courts; but it is questionable
whether parties owning property along
the streets proposed to be traversed
will silently allow this new experiment of a
track twelve feet high, to be placed in front
of their business houses aud residences. The
petition says, it will run smoothly, make no
noise, and not frighten horses in the least;
but will it work out this way practically.
This new style of road if it has any merit,
appears to us to be adapted to carrying from
one point to another, but not adapted to
taking on aud delivering passengers along the
line. If citizens along the line cannot con
veniently avail themselves of it, what com
pensation do they get for the unsightly tres
tle, which, with all due deference, wo insist,
will disturb the nerves of most carriage hor
ses. Again, they say steps will be arranged
over the gutter.
These steps must be twelve feet or more
from the ground to tho entrance of the car.
Now, suppose Mrs. Fat, Fair aiid Forty, in
descending, should meet with tho Hon. Fatty
Falstftff, imagine the consequences. The
whole plan seems to us to be impracticable,
and we thiuk the Street Committee, Young,
McMillan and McDuffie, in whom the whole
power rests, should pause, aod at least hear
from the property holders along the proposed
route, before they grant this new company
permission to build such a road, even if they
should be able to establish their chartered
right to do so. Certainly this matter de
serves mature consideration, and no hasty
action on the part of the Street Committee.
We are assured Mr. Peters’ company has no
disposition to prevent a line being built to
Ponce de Leon, but has contemplated a lino
in that direction as soon as possible, aud as
far out as in the judgment of Uus Directors it
will pay; and has also assured Dr. Angier that
