THE ATLANTA DAILY HERALD, VOL. 1. ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, JULY 22, 1873. NO. 281 The Daily Herald. TO ADVERTISERS. THE ATLANTA”DAILY HERALD HAS THE LAR8EST CIRCULATION OF ANY PAPER PUBLISHED IN THIS SECTION OF 6E0RQIA. COI,. L. P. GRANT'S LETTER ON THE WESTERN RAILROAD. The early hour at which our editorial page has to go to press, in order to save the West Point mail, prevented our giving such notice of t'lis admirable letter as its merits desarved, in our Sunday morning’s issue. Whatever objections have been heretofore urged by the opponents of this road against the city of Atlanta going forward to increase her subscription, in order to a secure its speedy construction, are hero so clearly and forcibly and calmly answered as to leave it no longer a matter of doubt as to the policy, and we may add the necessity of increasing the sub scription. Col. Grant, after a careful investi gation of the survey and actual observation of the country gives it as his opinion that the road can be substantially built with iron rails weighing fifty-six pounds per yard, at an aver age cost of ($23,000) twenty-three thousand dollars per mile. He next shows that the gen eral features and area of the country tribu tary t> this road resembles very much that through which the Western and Atlantic Railroad passes, except that the lands are much richer in agricultural and mineral pro ducts. He say8: In the product of lumber our road will command a large business. The poorer qual ities of ridge lands along our route are gen erally covered with unculled forests of a su perior growth of yellow pine. The diminu tion of pine forests along the other roads has rendered it difficult to obtain a good quality ( f himber in Atlanta, even at high rates. This has forced into use inferior qualities, to the detriment of the consumer. Our road will supply this lack for many years. The deposits of iron and coal in Northern Georgia, Tennessee and Alabama, are attract ing capital from the Northern States and Eu rope. Developments along the railroad in operation are in rapid progress. The con sumption of iron has reached such large fig ures as to constitute its production one of the leading branches of industry in the world. Where the ore, fuel and flux for smelting are convenient to each other, the profits of smelt ing are so large as to seem fabulous to those who heve not the data by which to estimate the cost of producing pig iron. A nnmber of furnaces are now in blast along the range near Birmingham, and prepa rations are making for many more. Invest ments have been made in these deposits by capitalists of the Northern States and Eng land, with a view of extensive smelting and manufacturing works. The estimated yield of this range of red hematite ore beds would tax the capacity of ten double track railways for two hundred years. In the lateral valleys of the Chockolocco, two furnaces are in blast, and others in pro cess of erection. By the time we can com plete our road, there will be tributary to it one lull train load of pig Iron per day, and this tonnage will expand in increasing ratio. The crude ore is now being shipped to points in Illinois, by the Red Mountain Iron and Coal Company, at a clear profit of four dollars per ton. I was informed by an intelligent gentleman from Ohio, that this company had been offered a contract to supply GOO,000 tons of ore to the same parties in Illinois at the same price. The contract was declined. Col. Grant says nobody need to doubt lor ono moment the existence of the most won derful coal and iron mines along the line of this road to be found in the world. They may rest perfectly assured that the most sanguine representations made to them on the subject did not exaggerate the supply. The coal measures of Alabama are known as the Coosa, the Cahaba and Warrior fields. Our route crosses the two former, and ter minates about ten miles east of the Western border of the latter. The Britiih Consul of Mobile, in a review of the resources of Ala bama sent hi9 government, estimated the pro duct of these coal fields at 52,250,000,000 tons—equal to the maximum caDacity of twenty double track railways for more than 600 j ears. Now, this coal can be delivered in At lanta by the Western Railroad at $4 pet ton, which alone would save to the consumers of fuel here more than a hundred thousand dol lars per annum. Owners of coal land in the Warrior field offered to contract in advance of the comple tion of onr road, to deliver the Warrior coal in Atlanta at $5 per ton—our freight charge to be limited to 1^ cents per ton per mile. We can do better. The Coo6a and Cahawba coals can be laid down in Atlanta at $4 per ton. This estimate gives $1 90 for royalty and cost of mining, and ten cents for freight age per ton. Col. Grant then proceeds to show that the completion of this road will give us the short est, most practicable and easily worked of all the lines to the Pacific. That— The distance from New York to Omaha by one of the shortest, if not the shortest line, is 1,101 miles. From Omaha to San Francisco is 1,907 miles, making a total of 3,308 miles. By comparing distances of unfinished links, we have the following comparison of routes Irom New York to Fort Smith, Texas: 1st. Vis Philadelphia, Pittsburg, St. Louis sad Sher man, 1,710 miles. 2d, Vis Baltimore, Cincinnati, Louisville, Memphis, Litte Bock and Longview, 1,780 miles. 3d. Vis Washington, Lynchburg. Cbattauoega, Mem phis, Little Bock and Longview, 1,670 miles. 4th. Via Washington, Lynchburg. Chattanooga, Meri dian and Shreveport. 1.680 miles. 5th. Via Washington. Bichmond, Atlanta,Georgia West ern, Meridian and Shreveport, 1.740 miles, r.tb. Via Washington, Richmond. Atlanta, Montgome- ery, Meridian and Shreveport, 1,760 miles. Nos. 1, 2 and 3, will have complete lines to Fort Worth by the end of 1874. Nos. 4 and 6 will probably have complete lines to the same point by the end of 1875. The com pletion of No. 5 will depend upon our ability to push the Great Western to a connection with the Alabama and Chattanooga. The letter next proceeds to explain why Atlanta would certainly reap the great bene fits to be derived from this connection and asks: What are the prerequisites, then, fer future trade centres in the bouth ? I answer—alti tude above the draining rivers sufficient to reach a pure atmosphere, good freestone water, and ample railroad facilities to insure low rates of transportation in receiving and distributing all classes of freights. Does not Atlanta meet all these requirements more fully than any city yet founded in the South ? The history of this city is a complete verification of the theory I have advanced. Without the pecuniary or moral aid ot a single capitalist or leading representatve man in the incep tion—with immediate surroundings of meagre ^promise—Atlanta has grown to the rank of *eeond cj# in Georgia. Slowly in ine outset, but in increasing ratio from year to year, Atlanta has absorbed much of the areas of trade, once controlled by the old es tablished marts of Augusta, Macon, Colum bus and Montgomery; all of which ware cit ies of considerable importance when the sit- of Atlanta was a forest In what eonsiste this marked advantage, until recently nnaps predated by our most sagacious and far-4 ingmeo? It is while Augusta and Columbus each has water S ower of very large capacity. The prepon- eratxng advantage of Atlanta is in a dry, pure, invigorating atmosphere. This enables all classes to reside hero during the entire year, with complete immunity from climatic fevers and the enervating effects of a humid miasmatic atmosphere. For the same reasons all outside may visit Atlanta, on business or for recreation, at all seasons, with security from local sickness, if not with a fair chance of improved health. Col. Grant very confidently states that in his opinion the gross earnings of the Western Railroad will exceed $2,500,000 per annum in less than ten years, and that any investment which the city may make will be a paying one. He sums up the advantages to the city and the reasons for building the road in the fol lowing, which we print in full: It will give Atlanta cheap coal of excellent quality, cheapening the price of fuel for domestic purposes, and stimulating investments in many branch es of manufacturing. It opens to Atlanta the great mining fields of Alabama, destined to contain a great industrial population, by a shorter line than to any other leading market How important, then, that we enter these fields at an early day, and give direction to the trade during its growth. Atlanta started out with an earnest purpose to construct the Georgia Western railroad snfficicently far to give a basis on which the mortgage bonds of the Company could be negotiated, to complete it. The city has made a cash sub scription of three hundred thousand dollars. Another of like amount from the city, and the payment of the Georgia railroad supscrip- tion, will complete and equip the first thirty miles. This consummated, I would feel that 'V completion of the whole road was as- suivd. In this I may be over sanguine, but I have never known a line of equal strength, in resources for business, with a liko basis of credit, fail to command means for its comple tion. A further subscription by the city is op posed by a minority of our citizens, mainly on the ground of increased taxation. This subject should be fairly and candidly stated. The individuals composing the board of di rectors are interested in common with all our tax-paying citizens, in proportion to the real estate and personal property held by each. They have no direct interest to be advanced by th9 construction of the Georgia Western E'tlroad other than is common to all our citizens. The taxable wealth of Atlanta is the result ant of the commercial, industrial and pro fessional interests built up, and attracted here by a common junction ot four lines of rail roads. I do not include the Atlanta and Rich mond Air-Line for the reason that the portion operated from Atlanta has yet had only a small effect upon the general interests of the city. In less than three months hence this line will be opened through, when I expect to see our merchants absorb a large share of the trade tributary to the line between Atlanta and Charleston. But to retarn to the main subject The taxable property of Atlanta is assessed at $13,000,000 for real estate, and $4,000,000 for personal property. If this is the result of lour roads, will not the Georgia Western, vastly superior in resources to the average of the four, give a proportional result. This, at 1$ ^ 'cent the present rate, will increase the receipts from taxes $60,000. Add a like proportion for all other sources of income, $20,000, and we have $80,000 ad ditional revenue without increasing the rate of taxation. By the timo the Georgia West ern can be opened through, Atlanta will need 50,000 tons of coal per year, and this con sumption will increase rapidly. I have before shown that the Georgia West ern can lay down coal in Atlanta at a cost of $4 per ton. Whether the coal all comes over the Georgia Western or not, it is evident that the price must come to or below this standard, as 1 have allowed a margin of fifty cents per ton in royalty and cost of mining over what I be lieve will be the cost. The average price of coal in Atlanta for the past two years has ex ceeded $6.50 per ton. Rating it at $6, with out other sources of supply, an I we have a saving of $100,000 per year in the item of fuel, which enters into the household ex penses of every citizen ; and the cost of all articles manufactured here—for whether coal or wood be used, a reduction in the price of the former will force a corresponding reduc tion in the price of the latter. We have given lengthy extracts from this strong letter. The fact of it is, when we read it and began to cut extracts from it, we had almost decided to reprint the entire let ter. Col. Grant is the President of the West Point Railroad—one of the very roads which it has been argued would be injured by the building of the Western ; but we are glad to find that he who ought to be the best informed does not take this narrow view of the question. He is a very large owner of real estate in Atlanta, and like Col. Adair and others who are also large real estate owners, he clearly sees the immense benefit in the fu ture which the city is to derive from this en terprise, and therefore does not hesitate to urge its construction by an additional sub scription by the Council.

Extent of tbe Defalcation of Prebident Mills — Eight Hundred Thousand Stolen from the Brooklyn Trust Company -How lie Tried to Provide for his Family Before Committing Suicide. New York, July 20, 1873. Weather warm and clear. Additional excitement caused in Brooklyn financial circles by the announce ment that Judge McCue, one of the largest stockholders of the Brooklyn Trust Company, and on whose appli cation it was forced to suspend payment. He has, since Mills’ death, been transferring his real c state in heavy blocks to his wife, to secure himself from loss in case the company proves insolvent. The transfers, which embrace one lot valued at ninety thousand dollars, are first made out by McCue to Ed gar M. Cullen, aud then by the latter to McCue’s wife. additional losses. Iu addition to the deposits hitherto reported, the United States Government bad two hundred thousand dollars with the company, N. H. Clement thirteen thousand dollars, and Dr. Bryant twenty-three thou sand dollars. The more searching the investigation, 1 HE WORSE THE CONDITION of the concern appears to be. Secretary M. T. Rad - man denies that he is also a defaulter, asserting that the Connecticut town bonds furnished as security wiU fully cover the loan to him from tho company of thirty-four thousand dollars. The belief that Mr. Mills, late President of Brook, lyn Trust Company, COMMITTED SUICIDE is becoming quite general. It ia said that ou the day before his death some of the directors of the bank in formed him that an examination of bis account would be commenced next day. On Monday afternoon Mr. Mills obtained a full settlement of his land agent and deposited a check, which ho received from the latter, in the Nassau Bank TO ms WIFE’S CREDIT. After this transaction he settled tho accounts of his butcher and baker, which were usually paid at the end of each month. If well authenticated rumors circulated last evening are to be accepted, Mills’ con duct AT CONEY ISLAND during tlie la it niglit ot his life gives material sup port to the suicide theory. It is staled that he did not retire to his bedroom until a very late hour, aud next morning it was found that his bed bad uot been slept in. these facts were studiously concealed, but yesterday those in possession of the facts coucluded tint further secrecy was useless. It is said in Brooklyn to-day that the examination of the books of the bank as far as prosecuted last night develops the loss of eight hundred thousand dollars. Latest Facts and Hu mors Concerning the De falcation. New York, July 21, 1873. The following are the latest facts and rumors as to affairs of Brooklyn Trust Company : The capital stock of tke Company was half a million, but this, it is said, ha s all been absorbed. There is three hundred tliousaud dollars' worth of what may be con sidered worthless loans. The defalcation of M IIb is between one hundred aud fifty thousand dollars and two hundred thousand dollars, aud Mr. Redman’s loins will amount to fully thirty-four thoucand tho prospect of depositors realizing anything for some timo is uot considered very encouraging, Last Friday or Saturday, Mills stated to his sou that ho felt worried about his accounts iu the Trust Company—that it was overdrawn. His then said to him, ‘'Father, you had better attend to that at once, something might happen to you,” he roplied, “I’ll look into it lightaway.” He ac cordingly made arrangements with a capitalist for a loan to cover his account with the Trust Company, which was.to havo been negotiated on Tuesday, the day of his death. It is slated that three mouths ago Mr. Lowo resigned the Vice Presidency on tho score of ill health a few weeks since. It was suggested by Messrs. Chaunccy, Rock well and ollieis, that it would be well to inves tigate affairs of the Company in order that some decision might be made, as the Georgia Railroad bonds and tbeirtiue value is ascertained. Mills ob jected. and tried to postpone tho investigation, al though at the time no defalcation ou hiB part was suspected iu the objection, he was suspected by Rodman, the secretary. There appears to have been occasioual discussiou among tho directors, and the minority woro called by Mills and Rodman, of the Mechanics Bank gang. Monday last before his death the former requested investigation he postpnoed Rodman says the President expected to receive $34,000 the following day aud the Directors are of same opinion that Monday, he found that he would be disappointed • Wheu it was discovered that irregularities existed, the Secretary admitted that Mills account was overdrawn, but said seventy thousand dollars would cover the defalcation, lie said when the irregularities commenced, he remonstrated with Mr. Mills, who replied to him invariably, be did not want to hear anything about it, as it would be all right before long. The Company has also loaned small sums of money on doubtful se. curities. ENGLAND. Parliament lo be Prorogued—Bad Death of a Bishop—The Labor Question—The Tich- borne Claimant’s Trial.

Washington, June 21, 1873. jCoL Charles C*6e, Receiver of the First Nalionaj Bank or New Oileans, has just arrived, and reports tq the Comp roller of the Currency that he has intelli gence from Messrs. Jerons and Rylcy, his solicitors in Liverpool, that the House of Lords has recently de cided tho last of a series of Chancery i in his favor, thna securing some $70,000 or moro to the fund for the general cred itors of the bank. Col. Case may justly congratulate himself upon this result. When the bank failed some six years eiuco sundry creditors, who had bought its bills on the Bank of Liverpool, sought to secure payment of their claims full by instituting proceedings in chancery in England, by which they tied up peudiug litigation, and hoped finally to appropriate between two and tbreo hundred thousand dollars then on deposit iuthe Liverpool bank, upon tbe theory that there had been a specific appropriation of fuuds to pay the several bills as they wore negotiated. They seemed fident of success, and many othor creditors, and oven some emiaont lawyeis were more thau fearful that this large sum would be lost to the goneral fund, but the reccivor, after a careful consideration of the facta, concluded that the suits ought to bo defeated, both bccauHo these facts did not warrant the theory of any specific appropriation, aud because it was i within tho powers of a national bank to make such appropriation on a true bill as against tho contingency of its own interviewing insolvency, he resolved, there fore, to contest the cases, and did so. The decision of the Vice chancellor was adverse to him and ho appealed and some two years since the Lord High Chancellor aud three Judges with him sitting, pronounced elaborate opinions, reversing the Vice Chancellor’s do cree, aud decreeing the money to be paid to tho celver. All but two of the claimants acquiesced in this docroe, these two acting, as is un derstood, upon the advice of J. P. Boujainlu formerly United States Senator, now a practicing bar rister and Queen’s counsel In Loudon, took an appeal to the House of Lords, thus tying np fifteen thousand pounds of tbe fund two years longer.

In the evening a large number of ladies and gentlemen assembled at the Doctor’s residence to honor the event—the era in the lives of husbaud and wifo—to enjoy themselves, and we are quite sure that all went as “ merry as a marriage bell,” for the beautiful lights that illuminated the premises shone out on •' fair women and brave men.” The Doctor and his lady were made the recipients of many valuable, appropriate aod beautiful presents, consisting in part of solid silver ware. Among the list and variety we noticed from the Atlanta Turn Vorein—a sterling siver pitcher, etc. The crowd did not disperse until a late hour, and during tho evening was entertained with inspiring music from tho Gate City Band. It was a highly pleasant affair, aud we trust that the parties will live to enjoy tho anniversary of their golden diDg, which is due twenty-five years hence.
