Mr. Burney reports that on Saturday he was feasted and the Herald toasted by a number of citizens at LaGrange, where wine and toast ruled tbs hour. He has a very indistinct idea of what actually occurred, but, thinks so much wine is a l.ttle d moralizing. He, however, got homesafe'y, and re ports things lovely ail along that route.

N. ..logical Society, I imed the dnties of VeT people’s tastes The greatest excitement prevailed in the city yes terday in consequence of the supposed murder of George Hindaon, a negro belonging to the chain gang of Messrs. Grant k Alexander. The chain gang are now at work near the Rolling Mill, on the Western Railroad. The facts of the case, as far as developed, are these: Mr. George Kreis came to the city on Saturday and informed some par ties that a negro had been whipped to death at the convict camp near the city. This information soon spread, and a party called at the camp and inquired for George Hindson, when they were informed that the said Hindson was dead and buried, and the place pointed out where he was buried. This party pro ceeded to the woods pointed out, and there they found what seemed to bo a new made grave. They com menced digging, and about two feet below the surface they come to a square box, which, on being opened, contained the dead body of a negro. The body showed idence of violence having been committed, and caused intense excitement among the negroes. As the rumor spread, crowds began to gather until nearly one thousand had assembled. An effort was made to ex cite the negroes to attack the camp, but better counsel prevailed, and they then decided to report the case to Coroner William Kiie, who promptly assembled a jury, who made the following report: Stale of Grargia—Fulton County.—In a Cornet's Jury this day summoned by Coroner William Kile, to make an inveatigation and ait in inquest on the dead body of George Hindson, now lying dead on Wheat street, in the city of Atlanta, county and State aforesaid. Having held an inquest on said body, Dr. E. J. Roach making the post mortem examination in our presence, are of opinion that said George Hindson came to his death from injury or wounds received at the Land or hands of sjme person unknown. A. J. Jarett, Foreman; L. Sommers, R. M. Bearers, J. J. Blackstock, H. II. noilison, Thomas A. Chandler, John Blackstcck, I. Jones, I. M. Caulton. I certify that having been summoned by Coroner William Kile, and made the examination in the above case bforc the jury. I am of tho opinion that said George Hindson came to bis death in accordance with the verdict of the jury. E. J. Roach. CoTOner Kile at once issued warrants for tho arrest of W. F. Ivey, — Moss and Wells. Neither Moss or Wells were to bo found, and we learn that they were not at the camp, and have not been for some time. Ivey was arrested by a warrant issued by Justice Sas- seen, and brought into Court. Tho case was set for trial at four o'clock, but Col. S. B. Spencer and Col. W. H. Hulsey announced that they were not ready for trial; that they were not employ ed nniil twelve o’clock ; that the witnesses by whom the y expected to prove the homicide, c« not be summoned in time, and they tberofore quested a postponement until 10 o’clock this m ing. Hon. M. A. Candler for the defense, stated that he was quite willing for any postponement desired. The case will therefore be heard this morning at 10 o’clock, at Justice Butt’s office. The Reporter for the Herald called on Coroner Kile for the purpose of getting additional facts. IN TEH VIEW WITH CORONER KILE. R.—Was tho negro badly injured ? Coroner—I never witnessed a more shocking case of brutality. When I had the clothes stripped from the body the whole skio on bis left side peeled off like a side of leather. R.—Were there any other marks of injuries? Coroner—Yes, there were bruises on the ebest and face, and largfe blisters ou Lis arm, and bis neck was raw as beef. His head and eyes were banged up, and after cutting the skin and laying open the forehead, it appeared that his skull was broken on the left temple and a large quantity of clotted blood on the brain. The fact of it is, sir, I nevez saw a human being worse mangled. R.—How was ihe body dressed? Coroner.—In his convict clothes and shoes, and a leather strap around his ankles, Our reporter next called on Colonel Tom Alexander, who stated that he had gone to the camp as soon as he heard of the occurrence, and give the mat ter the closest investigation. That the facts as our reporter had heard them where greatly exagger ated. That he had learned that this negro was very obstreperous. That he had been in the habit of feign ing sickness, and refusing to work.- That he had been taking physic, and had drank a great quantity of water, which no doubt caused bis death. That he had been whipped twice that day, six licks the fist time, and eight the last, and the licks very light. We give both sides. The case will undergo thor ough investigation this morning, when both parties will be able to produce their witnesses. Ur West Point. Ga.. July 25, 1873.

A Lecture by Bishop Gross at the Capitol Wednesday Night. So many persons were forced to leave the Catholic church at both services on Sunday last, being unable to gain admission, and so many were desirous of hear ing Bishop Gross lecture, that on yesterday the follow ing letter was prepared and signed by numerous of our most prominent citizens, requesting him to de liver a lecture ia the Hall of Representatives. Al though the Bishop bad proposed leaving Atlanta Wednesday evening, on receiving the letter he very kindly postponed his departure aud consented to lec ture on Wednesday evening. We need not say that our citizens at large will have a real treat, Bishop Gross being one of the most elegant orators we have heard for many years. The subject of his lecture will be announced in the Herald of to morrow. The following is the correspondence : Atlanta, Ga., July 28, 187J.

Death.—We regret to hear of the death of Mr. Willis Jones, a worthy Atlanta printer. He leaves i wife and several children to mourn his loss. As it was announced in the Herald that Bishop Gross, of the Catholic Church, would preach at the Church of the Immaculate Conception, ou Sunday, on that day the little place of worship was crowded to its utmost capacity by a congregation which included nu merous Protestants. Among tho latter we noticed Col. P. W. Alexander, Judge Trippe, and others of equal prominence. On the entrance of the Bishop, every eye v r.cted towards him. Bishop Gross is a gentleman of middle size, with regular features, a pair of bright expressive eyes, and with a bioad, intelligent fore head. His countenance is moat amiable and benevo lent, and his general appearance is that (f a man most earnestly enlisted in hia work. his oratory. The usual ceremonies having been gone through with, the Bishop moved to the front of the altar and proceeded to deliver his sermon. It is not too much to say that he is one of the ablest preachers we have ever beard. Hia intonation and articulation i8 perfect. His voice—a sweet, though powerlul and flexible one, filled the church, every word falling from bis lips with clearness and distinctness, while his language is always elegant and felicitous. The Bishop is, in fine, a fin ished orator, and we cannot better describe the iin- presion he creates upon his hearers than by quoting the language of a lady on her return home: “ I could sit and listen to him all day,” she said; while a young man of onr acquaintance—a Protestant too—remarked to the writer on yesterday: “He is the sweetest speaker I ever listened to. And indeed, "his oratory is most fascinating. THE FIRST SERMON. Bishop Gross took for his text the parable of the steward who was called to account for the treasures entrusted to his care. In a brief synopsis it is, of course, impossible to do anything like justice to the sermon. He said that eve:y attribute of life was a treasure entrusted by God to the stewardship of man, sud it was the duty of man to so conduct himself as to be able to give a good account of them. Men sinned daily; the newspapers teimed with the re ports of murderp, adulteries, thefts and other crimes. To avoid the commission of these offenses and to observe the commandments, it was necessary for men to pray. God, in Lis great mercy, had said to man, “Ask and you shall receive, search and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened to you.” If men would pray it would be an easy matter for them to give a good account of their stewardship. The love of God for man was like tho love of a father for his child. It brought pleasure to tho heart of a father to take his pratling child in his arms, to listen to its petition and to grant it; and it pained him when he was compelled to refuse. In like manner, when men sought God and petition ed Him, the petition would be granted. There were many who turned away from prayer, saying that it had not helped them; but the very fact that they had turned away was the justification of God for not grant ing what they had askLd, because it showed that they lacked true contrition. Men must not despair. They must rap at the door until it is opened to them. The longer delayed the granting of tho request, the often- er and the most earnestly must they make it. They must rap, rap, rap. God will hear them in good time. After illustrating the beauties and benefits of prayer the Bishop continued by asking bow many men pray ed as long and as earnestly as they ought to. There were many children who never saw their parents on their knees in prayer. They saw the one in the bar room and the other at gossip, but not seeking to give an account of their stewardship. How many men were there who prayed for even a quarter of an hour at'ay? What an example they were setting to their little ones ! He warned his bearers not to be betrayed into the belief that they could at any time time prepare an account of the Stewardship. Christ had raid that such should pray and not be answered. They must begin now; they must ask at once if they would receive; they must search now if they would find; and they must knock to-day and keep on knocking if they would have the door opened to them. The spectacle of God’s merry was a beauti ful one: His great love for man made H m ready at all times to forgive tbe sinner and to wash away his sins; but He was a God who exacted penitence and prayer. In conclusion, the Bishop exhorted hia hearers to a proper appreciation of the responsibility which rested upon them and the absolute necessity for them to be able to render up an account when called upon. No man, however steeped in crime, need despair. Let him approach boldly and rap. The thief upon the cross was pardoned and transported to paradise whilst in the agony of death' and simply because be turned to God, full of faith and earnestness and prayed to be received. Let every minute in the dsy that could be spared be diverted to prayer. Let every man and woman keep on rapping, never tiring, never despairing, but full of faith and determined to be saved. “Ask, and ye shall re ceive; search, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened.” Our reporter being near the door, was uuable to catch all the points in this really impressive sermon. It abounded in beautiful illustrations of the potency of prayer, and had a marked effect on the congrega tion. at vespers. In the evening the church was if anything more crowded than in the morning. Benches were placed down the aisles, and every pew in the building was packed with people, while nothing could be seen at tbe door but closely jammed forms. The sermon wae of a doctrinal character, being the divine origin of the Confession. The Bishop, in support of his position, stited that the sacrament of confession was almost as old as the creation of the world. When Cain murdered Abel, God called upon him to state where bis brother was. That v vine order to confess. Cain’s refusal to confess and to repeut his sin was the cause of his punishment. He further called attention to the case of David, who was guilty of both murder and adultery, as an evidence of the divine origin of confession. The Old law re quired confession and prescribed its sacrifice rites. If confession was necessary, then why was it not neces sary now? God never changes and human nature changes. Men were tbe same now as they were thousands of years ago. The same crirfies were committed tc-dsy that were committed ages sgo. If, then, confession was no longer required, either God must have changed or human nature, aud no one would assert that cither bad. But, i ay some, tbe old law has been changed, denied that it had been. Christ did not come earth to change the law, but to enforce and to strengthen it. Men had confessed to Christ, and lie had absolved them. But it was urged in objection to confession that no man had the power to forgive a sin. Christ had forgiven them, and when tbe Scribes and Pharisees reproached him with bias* pbeming and with claiming honors which belonged to God alone, that Christ bad replied that tbe Son of Mao had tho power to for give. Christ claimed this power as a man and not as God. He was a man just as we all are man born of a woman’s womb, with the single exception of being free from sins. There were times when he wept; times when bis heirt beat glad; times when he was hungry or when he thirsted. In all bis ministra tions he acted as a man. It was not denied that be had heard confessions and glinted forgiveness, and that he had the power to do both. When he was leaving the earth did he not delegate three powers to his apos. ties? He not only bade them preach the Gospel to the world to the end of time, but he specially told them that whose sins wore forbiven by them would be forgiven m Heaver, and whose sins were retained ty them should be retained in Heaven. It bad been said that the Confession was an inven tion of tho priests, but tbcie was not a man who could say when it was invented. Every student of eccleal astical history could tell you by whom, and when, and where every important change In Ihe charge tempted, but no one could tell where and when and by whom Confess! in was invented. It was Impos sible that such an Invention could have been made. There was nothing men held so tenaciously to ss their religious views, and had confession been an in vention of priests it could not possibly bavo been in corporated into the church without the world know ing of it. Christ’s mission was not to change the law, bnt to uphold It. He had elevated confession to tbe dignity of s sacrament, but, aside from that, he bad left it as It was from the beginning of the law. Man could confess to spriest and bo forgiven, because Christ had delegated to him the power hear ronfeaalona and to grant absolution, priest had Invented the confessional. II any of bis non-Catholic brethren thought it was a pleasant task for a priest to listen to them, be was mistaken. He. (the Bishop) bad frequently been compelled to sit In a confession from five o'clock in the morning until ten o ’clock at night, and any person who tried (hat with the thermometer at twenty degrees below zsro; cr ninety-eight in the shade in summer, would conclude that no priest ever Invented such torture for himself. It viotild not be so intoler able if none but nice gentlemen and ladies came to confession, but he had more than once devoutly wished that a penitent before him had been mote free in the use of water, or had brought a bottle of per fumery along with him. What good did the confessional accomplish ? Much. a man committed a robbery he was forqad-to make restitution; if ho slandered his neighbor he was forced to repair the wrong before he could receive forgive ness. How many men there were who went through life with the burdeu of crimo resting heavily upon their hearts! Go where they would they felt the Lord, and if they oven repenteVl and prayed how would they know that they were forgiven unless they had faith iu confession, and in the power of the priest to forgive. It was urged that a man would confess, receive absolution, and tho very next day commit the same crime. Well, suppose he did? Suppsse when ho confessed he deceived tbe priest; his abso lution availed him nothing; it was void, and the sin ner added another crimo to his list. But no matter how eften a man sinned, if he sincerely repented, lie would be forgiven. Though he yielded again and again to the temptations of crime, every time he hum bled himself and confessed his sins with real con trition, be would be pardoned, and tbe forgiveness granted to him by tbe prieat would ba held good in heaven. Bishop Gross proceeded to show that the priest had nothing at hoart but the good of mankind. It was this jOve of man that made them abandon their fathers and mothers, their brothers and 6isters aud every other earthly tie, to servo the Lord. The priest not only had tho power to pardon sins, but he was bound te keep inviolate tbe secrets of the confessional. He was never known to betray a penitent 1 Time and again efforts had been made to force them to reveal what had been told them in the confessional, but they had braved the prison, torture and death rather than utter one w*ord. Priests had not families to share their secrets; they were, besides, men of ed ucation aud gentlemen of honor; so that there was not the slightest chance of tbe secrets of the confes sional being revealed. Concluding, the Bishop asked bis bearers to invest- gate well the question of the confession, and to ascer tain if its reign was not divine. To his Catholic brethren he wished to say that they knew it was divine, and that when they failed to ex hibit repentanca by confession, they were derelict in their duty, and should promptly make amends for the dereliction. Tho rermon consumed nearly two hours in its de livery ; but so interested were all those present that the time seemed to pass rapidly. Although the ser- waa peculiarly doctrinal, it did not contain a single word which could be construed into any offense abainst Protestantism. The Bishop spoke of his “non- Catbolic brother” and his “ Protestant friends,” and language throughout was couched in tho same careful manner, the good taste of which was apparent to all and appreciated by those present who were not cf his faith.

PEEPLES ORATES TO THE FARMERS, On Saturday last a large number of the farmers of Cobb and Fulton counties assembled at Iceville ou tbe Chattahochee, for the purpose of indulging in tbe fes tivities of a picnic, and organizing an agricultural so ciety. There was also present a large number of la dies, who came out to enjoy the day, and witness the movements of the jolly faimer. Early in the day, Judge Clark Howell was called to the chair, and Dr. Samuel A. Wilson requested to act as secretary. Col. C. Peeples, of Atlanta, being present, introduced to the audience, and made a handsome cultural speech. He spoke for about three-fourths of an hour, and those who were so fortunate as to hear him say that his address was replete with sound ideas and practical admonition, and judging from enthusiasm that was manifested, we must conclude that ho was superior to the most sangine expectations. Well, he is a distin guished agriculturist perhaps, and whether in the courthouse or the busting, or in the rural districts, before an audience of “tillers of the soil,” knows just what to say aud how to say it. At the conclusion of his remarks tho crowd repaired to the heavily luJen tables and filled baskets to partake of a bountiful re past. Judging from the destruction of provisions this occasion, the health and appetite of the people in that vicinity are as they should be, very good. We don’t in For that they indulged too great an extent. Dinner over, tho audience was ain called to order and steps taken to perfect a per manent organization of an Agricultural Society at an ly day. A committee consisting of the following gentleman was appointed to prepare and report at the next meeting a constitution and by-laws and rules for the government of tho Society: Daniel B. Turner. Thomas Moore, A. B. Davi3, Charlie Howell, John Turner, S. K. Pace, Dr. W. II. Thurmond and S. K. Osborn. About thirty-five persons joined as members, when on motion the meeting adjourned tc the second Saturday in August, when a permanent organization will be effected. After the adjournment the young ladies and gentle- en engaged in conversation, promenading, or in tripping the light fantastic,” according to their in clination and disposition. It was a feast of pleasure, and the cay passed off without an incident that could tar the equanimity of any. This is a move in the right direction,and wc trust tbe result will be the organization of a flourishing and vig orous agricultural society. “ Men say they rest when labors cease; They watch the sunset down the sky, And sit with folded hands for peace, As if the night brought calmness. Why ? Toil never ceased since life begun; They only rest-whose day is doue.” The labors of Judge Hammond’s court never ceases That venerable magnet of Pryor street is absolutely growing thin in the waist from the annoyances in the increasing run of business which crowds his tribu nals. We left the court last Saturday almost ss quiet as the cotton market, and lo! this morning it is more turbulent and seething than a Radical meeting. Two or three cases were called and continued before the thing got to working. Henry Shealds paid ton dollars and costs for refus ing to be policed, and for putting an emphatic veto on their perambulations. Charles Carrol, a fugitive from fair Italia’s climes, or from Decatur, it doesn’t matter which, so far ss partial history is concerned, was found by the guard a homeless wanderer on the face of the earth, limbered on inferior champagne, and lying abont loose like the Radical party. He was laid away to stiffen, and then sent to work on the street. Oh! she was a maid of laughing eye, And she lived in a garret cold and high; And he was a A re ad bare whiskered beau, And he lived in a cellar damp aud low. Mary Cleveland, the proprietress of a redoubtable fortress on Decatur street, was terribly shocked at the intelligence that she was wanted to answer for curs ing and disorderly conduct. The guard overheard her from an elevaUd position talking right badly to a spoony chap on the pavement below, and proceeded to arrest Mary for beiDg disorderly and cursing. She resides among the cane brakes of immorality in her neighborhood, and was found slightly elevated in her vitality, and seriously shot in the neck. In conse quence of the great exuberance of spiiits, fears of a collapse were apprehended, and Mary was carried in. She is now in the Senior class of the Barry McAdemy. Tobe 'Williams is as regardless of the health of the city and the advice of the Beard of Health as the Council itself, and after reading Alderman Boring’s views concerning him as a disinfectant, he raved him- fcelf the trouble of going to tha mouth of a covered sewer to deposit a bucket of garbage, but threw it out on the street, to the great annoyance of a policeman, who smelt it fifty yards off, and who rushed frantically up and seized Tobe by the cost lapel. He gets off with $5 and costs, and intima!ed that the Council ought to pay his fine. William Pope is a student of astronomy. He was found on tho street Sunday night holding a conversa tion with the man in the moon npon the subject of skimming off the mi)ky-way and going into tbe but ter business. He was interrupted before ho concluded the contract, and requested to resume a perpendicu lar attitude, and perigrinate. He complied, and went down for several days to act as Pope of tbe work- house. T. Butter shot himself in the neck with a quart tickler, and then drew his repeater, and fired a blank shot at the zenith. Failing to hit it, tbe rebound flung him in tbe gutter, and he was fl-ffied out and rubbed down at a cost of eight dollars. Wiping one eye with his sleeve and tbe other with his coat tail, aud his “knose” upon the shonlder of Dr. Barry (who had on his “new close), he retired with s gush of un utterable woe. “A little crib beside the bed, A little face above the spread, A little frock behind the door, A little shoe upon the floor.” This was the state of affairs at Henry Barrow’s house. The Barrow family weie at last happy, for one had made its appearance who was to inherit the barron-ial estates of Henry. Iu order to hurry up the little stranger lo man’s estate, Henry insisted upon feeding it upon fat meat gravy, which Mrs. Barrow objectad to. The whole fuss originated right there. Hard words resulted in blow's, or rather bites. Henry just slapped her a little to make her mind, when she bit him, and then he returned the compliment. She screamed, the police rushed in, gathered up the baby, Henry, wife and all, and brought them to the lock up. Tho Court placed the Barron’s estate under mort gages for ten and costs and closed the business. Voices from the People. To the Editors or the Herald : Our citizens generally, and our warm-hearted May or in particular, regretted exceedingly that they had no notice of the contemplated visit of the Herald’s editors to this place last Thursday, as it would have been considered in order to have given you all an old- fashioned evidence of West Point appreciation of the Herald enterprise. As is the custom here once a year, our citizens, old and young, throw off the cares of one dsy by repairing to Tate's 8priDgs, a distance of two miles fi om the city, and th re partake of the hospitality of one of our most libeial-biarted citizens, T. J. Kennedy, who makes it a part of his religion to barbecue a half dozen or so of fat shoats for the occa sion. On your arrival here most of our people had left the turmoil of the city for the barbecue, but lews of the arrival of the Herald’s staff reached us in time to send s pressing invitation to them to “come out” and spend the oay. Col. Alston’s reputation have ing preceded him as a man voluble in speech, it was expected that he would discourse us on the Grange subject; but we were soon doomed to disappointment' as those who came last reported his inability (on ac count of the want of time) to meet with us. We had a merry day and a splendid dinner, after which we spent some time in the mazy dance to the swells of voluptuous music. Your irrepressible agent, Tom Bur ney, was in town yesterday, “working it up.” The Herald did not have a subscriber here last October, but there are now more numbers Uken here than that of the Constitution. Burney is a brick of a peculiar mould. The Constitution’s * 1 balloon” is expected to make its first trip down this way to-morrow. In conclusion, let me say that “when you next doth ride this way, may we be there to see.” W. West Point, July 26, 1873. Cutting Affray. On Saturday night last a difficulty occurred on Mari etta street, near the Live Grocery House of R. Turalin, that came near resulting seriously. The particulars, a a wo could git an them, are as fol lows : Some months ago, Mr. Crane, one of the parties to the difficulty, reported Mr. Poney Vaughn for selling whisky on Sunday, and the parties. Messrs. Crane and Vaughn, met on Saturday night aud renewed a diffi culty that had begun formerly. The result was that Mr. Crane was seriously cut by Mr. Vaughn. A negro man who was near the scene of the difficulty, and who attempted to run away, was also cut in the hand, Vaughn supposing him to be Crane. The wounded parties were carried into the Live Gro cery House of R. Tumlin, where their wounds were properly attended to. We suppose the matter will be thoroughly investi gated before his Honor, and all the facts eliminated. New Orleans, July 28,1873.

Inutdcut* of Last Salilnitli’s Services. At Evan’s Chapel, on Sunday evening, the pastor re ceived into full connection twenty members of the church, thirteen ladies and seven men, who joined during the progress oi the revival meeting. The scene was interesting and impressive because of the nature of the vows and obligations which the candidates for admission take upon themselves on entering Uie Meth odist Episcopal Church. Previous to receiving these into the church the pastor read a brief history of the church as organized by Mr. Wesley, and also the rules of the church on the subject of religious decorum. Ou each of these he commented as he read, especially on the rules pro hibiting the speaking ill of magistrates aud ministers, attending improper places of amusement, indulging in irreligious diversion, and rtading books calculated to withdraw the mind from religious study ana con templation. Five or six of the members were bap tized by pouring, while the others expressed a pre ference for baptism by immersion and will receive the ordinance at an early day. A prayer meeting will be held at the church on Wed nesday night, when, if tbe interest manifested is of such a character as to render it expedient, the meeting will be continued. On Sunday evening, Rev. Dr. Shearer occupied tbe pulpit of the First Baptist Church, aud preached able aud eloquent sermon to a largo and attsntivo c gregation. The revival at Trinity progresses with unabated interest. Prayer meetings are held every morning at eight o’clock, and preaching at night. The pastor, Rev. Mr. Evans, has been working zealously in the cause of his master, and we think should feel giatifled at the great interest manifested by his congregation, and the great awakening they have undergone on the subject of their souls' salvation. At four r. m. Sun day, Rev. Atticus G. Haygood made one of his emi nently practical and pertinent addresses to the Sunday School, and in conclusion, invited the penitent chil dren to come forward and give the ir hands to Rev. Mr. Evans, as a token of their desire for an interest in the prayers of the church. To this invitation quite a uomber responded. Personui Intelligence.

THE ATLANTA AND WEST END 3TBEET RAILROAD COMPANY PRAYING INJUNCTION. Judge Hopkins yesterday heard arguments on the bill of the Atlanta Street Railroad-Company against the fftlanta and West End Street Railroad Company, praying that the latter be enjoined from building the proposed line of road from the city to Ponce de Leon Springs and any or all other lines of road claiming that under the charter granted them by the Legisla ture in 1866 complainants have the exclusive right to build and operate street railroads in tbe city of Atlanta. Respondents answer that they are operating under a charter granted them by tbe Legislature ia 1872, giv ing them the very same rights with complainants. Their charter contains, in addition, a repealing clause, which they hold repeals all of the charter oi 1366 in conflict with their charter. They further contend that tho projected line does not in any way interfere with the rights, business or profits of complainants. The arguments were all able, especially those of Judge Clark and Hon. B. H. Hill. At the conclusion of the arguments Judge Hopkins requested the coun sel to furnish him with the authorities cited and re served his decision for the present. Electing of Kx-Cadets. The ball has been set in motion by a number of tho ex-cadets of the old Georgia Military Institute to re vive that institution, and the movement meets with general favor from all the old cadets of this city, and, we presume, from every other member in the South.
