At Syracuse,
Stuacuse, N. Y., July 5, 1873.
At s great Fourth of July celebration here, yeater-
di.co-er. but it .rents th.t we cannot le.rn by the ! 0errett Smith, in hi. address, touched on the
hiatorif the past. Is it because we have not learned,
or is in account of tbe same feeling which made the
artiitahose business it waa to make Gods for the
Ephesie. proclaim, “Great is Diana of the Ephe
sians V‘They did not want to loose their occupa
tion.
Let lexamine, so fkr a9 we can, by word descrip
tion, tk “new experiment” which. “No stockholder
in eitk road” saya. “It is questionable ahetber
partieawning property along the streets proposed to
bs travsed, will silently allow thia new experiment
of a tr* twelve feet high, to be placed in iront of
their bino.-s houses and residences.”
Thia ml. if we understand it properly, is to be
well coitructed, not unsightly, not even as toisy as
the comon street car, absolutely safe, as it is a rail
road wi out an accident in its history; having been
running! different places for two years; and at the
Cincinui Exposition in 1871, there were over twenty-
five thtxand persona rode upon it in four weeks, and
tbe traewas there, twenty-five feet high in “Fower
Hall.” After thorough examination the managers
of thi Expo# tion permitted this “new
experinnt” to be placed twenty-five feet
above t> tens of thousands of people who were to
walk ucer it; and it proved the great attraction at
this Expsition.
But 1< ua notice carefully thia twelve feet elevation,
about wich this writer seems most concerned. New
Yorkersiave tried the elevation question to the tune
of near ne and a half million of dollars per mile, aud
are to-dy running thirty two engines at au elevation
of moroban twelve feet, along Washington street,
croasiniWarren and other streets. The Council of
the citjpt Opelika. Alabama, gave its consent for this
“new eperiment” to be tried in that city; and to-day
there ist mile of road in successful operation in that
growins town. Citizens along the streets which it
traveras do not object or protest; and there baa al
ready ben a proposition made by one of the leading
citir.enun Opelika to take stock in a Company to ex
tend ne road on the street upou which he
lives, tht he may rida home every evening and out j
every noruing; and we would say just here that this
gentlemn weighs considerably over two hundred.
We wil aay, however, that one farther removed from
a Falsttf could hardly be found.
Thia ind of street road has merits which canDot be
overloaed.
First—You are above tbe street—out of the way of
pedestians, horsemen and carriages.
Secoad.—'While traveling, thus elevated, you aie
free fren the dust, which ia frequently intolerable lu
the couznou street cars.
Thirc—1 here will be but a small apace taken up by
the poas, and that just at the guttering.
These oertainly merit attention. Can we assert
either ot these merits for the street cars which zun on
the ground in the mid street?
jWtd ga—f abkarriMAAld Mr. -No Htockholder in
either Com pan y” produce against elevated street rail
way**
First— It would be placed in front of business houses
and residence. But he did not show that thia would
be any more objectionable than a line of telegraph
posts in front and no one objects to these aa they are
necessary.
Second.—And this is the great, ugly monstrous
thing. “Thatthere would be tiept to ascend, that we
might enter tbs caret”
This certainly cannot be rendered aa an objection
when it is remonbered that the pedestrian must walk
to the middle o; tbe street to get aboard of tbe ordi
nary street cars, taking more steps than would Lave
to be taken to get to the car at any time—and when
we remember hew pleasant it is on the elevated street
car after we reached it, above dust and tbe nice
riding. We think nothing of the trouble to get up—
yea, we think tlat even “Misses. Fat, Fair aud
Forty,” would be trilling to risk meeting crem a h\ill-
rtaff, that she migkt take tbe nice, pleasant ride after
wards.
Now, let us see if there are not objections to Laving
tbe cars running io the street on tbe ground:
First.—That awful dust.
Second.—Tbe trouble to pedestrians and carriages.
One or two stable men have said here in the last week
that th* coat to them per annum waa one thousand
dollars more than before the street car# began run
ning; these gentlemen’s names can be given if neces
sary, and two pbyticiana here say that they are injured
greatly, because their boggy wheels are wrenched by
the iron tracks of the street roads. We might say that
the general complaint come* from all who drive in the
atraets.
Third. Not many months have passed since a pair
of horses ran with a at rest car and naver stopped until
they broke loose from the car, and alter running some
distance landed about twelve feet below the surface of
the earth into Mr. Moore's basement, one upon the
top of the other; and several other occasions might
be mentioned of mules running away, breaking loose
from th* cars and frightening people and doing dam
age. That elevated car team will not run away.
Many other things might be men turned, such as
grading down streets, leaving citizen's houses upon
high banks; and the city of Atlanta has paid several

Cuban question, arraigning the Administration for
coldness towards the cause of Cuban independence,
while allowing guuboata to be lilted out in New York
for Spanish use. Cuba, by maintaining a successful
resistance for nearly five years, bad earned tLe recog
nition of belligerent rights. He hoped that if tbe
sense of tbe Government hesitated that the people
would take up the Cuban cause auil force the Govern

A resolution was adopted expressing sympathy with
Cuba, and calling on the Government to acknowledge

Chicago, July 3, 1873.
There were large gatherings of farmers at Spring-
field, Galesburg, Pontiac, Champion, Knoxville, and
other place* in Illinois yesterday, who celebrated by
listening to speeches upon a farmers’ movement and a
railroad question. Several accidents happened hero
yesterday, the most serious of which waa the shooting
and, it is thought, fatally wounding of a boy by a
young man who was shooting at a mark.

We are glad to report that up to the present writing
not a case of cholera has been reported in Atlanta.
We have made diligent inquiry but have failed to learn
of anything more than cholera morbus and the other
intestinal diseases usual during the summer months.
While there has been, and still is, some uneasiness in
the public mind, and an almost ludicrous rush to
purchase “Cholera medicines,” the public mind is
not at ail excited by fears that the disease will become
epidemic here. We expect to hear of other cases,
similar to that of the unfortuuate lady who died in
the city a few days ago; but we still bold to the opin
ion that Atlanta will continue free from the disease.

ter which the orator of the day was introduced to the
audience by Colonel ll. A. Alston, of the Atlanta

elicited the applause of the house. Colonel Alston
performed thia pleasant duty by request of a commit
tee of citizens. The address of Colonel Capers
though elaborate, was listened to with marked
attention by an auditory composed of the
first citizens of Atlanta and others. Among those
