George K»eis.~ This gentleman called at oar offic s yesterday, and stated that one informa tion is wrong, to far as the statement of his connection with .the races; killing of a negro on the chain-gang, is concerned. He did not know anything of the occur rence, and never made any report of the killing to any one. It occurred, however, in the neighborhood of his house, which fact may have accounted for our reporter getting Mr. Kreis’ name connected with the affair.

DEATH OF THE COM! TRIAL OF W. F. IVY. AITEJWOON SE36I05. At# o’clock the Court assembled, and the invest!#* tloa proceeded by the introduction of ELI CHAMBERLAIN, vho testified as follows: I am a convict in the penitentiary; I have been there eighteen months; I was sent there for manslaughter, from Richmond county, I was at the camps on Satur day last engaged in working on wagons; I don’t know Successful Financial Negotiation.—Dr. James F. Bozeman of this city, well known throughout the State ss one of our ablest financiers, has just returned from New York, where he has been, for some timo past, on an important mission.

Abbott 1 .—In the injunction case before Judge Hopkins on Monday, Capt. Abbott appeared for the defense, and we are informed by those who were in attendance that his speech was the ablest effort of his legal career. He framed tbu case, and is its prin cipal manager. In our allusion to it on the succeed ing morning, these facts were accidentally emitted, and It is not our intention to overlook cases of well deserved merit. The Captain is among the most promising lawyers in the State, ana has the confi dence of all who are acquainted with him. Enveloped in Flames.—We are informed that a very amusing, as well as ludicrous incident, occurred in this county one day last week. Mr. William Isom,who resides on Nancy’s creek, is the proprietor of a large fine Cheshire sow. This ;animal, much to the chagrin sod discontent of the owner, was found one day to be covered with lies; and steps were taken to eradicate them, but to no effect Mr. John Heard, who lives up near the river, was present and recommended the use of tar, plaster and ainging—which is to apply a thick coat of Ur and then set fire to it This was done, and to the amazement of Isom, it required all the exertion of two or three men to save the life of the hog, for the reason that ehe was, in a short time, wrapt and enveloped in flames and smoke, and rid her of her hide, and almost cooked her for table use. Perceiving the trick which had been played upon him by the Chattahoochee mac, and the manner in which the aow was baked, Isom now breathes threatening and ven geance against Heaid, and we understand, speaks fla- ently of tarring and feathering the perpetrator.

K. Shackleford, who was present and who was very op portunely reminded of the fact that he was a Good Templar and as auch should forego the pleas*re. The remainder of the evening was pleasantly spent in the parlor, within hearing of soft, clear notes from ffca pianoforte—the beautiful bride and other ladies ad ministering tbs efficient touch to the instrument. It was jnst one of those delightfgl occasions upon which tha minds of all present will dwell with happy remem brance in far distant days. INVESTIGATION OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE KILLING OF GEORGE HENSON, A NEGRO CONVICT, AT THE CAMPS OF THE CON VICTS, ON THE GEORGIA WESTERN RAILROAD, NEAR THE CITT— THE COLORED FOLKS OUT IN i'lllJi FORCE. Tne court room of Justices Butt and Basseon was crowded early yesterday morning with a motley crowd of white folks and black folks, all eager to hear the par ticulam of the killing of George Henson at the convict comp. The State’s counael.Cols. 3. B. Spencer and W.H. Hulsey, were on hand promptly, aa were also the prisoner. Mr. W. T. Ivy, and his counsel. Messrs. Hill k Candler, Peeples A Howell, and Judge W. F. Wright. At 10 o'clock, on account of the immonse crowd and the heated state of the rooms, it was decided to re move the theatre of the investigation to the City Hal), whither Justice Sasseea at ones repaired, a Constable having been dispatched for either Justices Munday or Hammond to assist Justice Sasseeu in the trial of the case, as Justice Butt was too unwell to undergo the fa tigue. Here was quickly congregated a still larger concourse of eager and excited people of every shade of color, from the unvarnished white to the unadul terated glossy black. POSTPONEMENT. The Constable having failed to secure the attendance of either of the Magistrates sent for, Justice Sssseen announce d that he would adjourn the trial until two o'clock to try to secure assistance. RESUME. At the earnest solicitation of the counsel in the care, he withdrew the announcement after a vain efiort to secure the attendance of Judgo Cowart, and the trial of the case was begun amid profound sileuco—Justice Saaseen presiding alone.

The whole thing would weigh from to two pounds. It Is regularly used to chastise prisoners; have seen it frequently used before. It was part of Mr. Ivy’s business to punish prisoners.

ALEXANDER. My name is John T.

Mr. Ivy came to my squad about 9 o’clock; it was his duty to come; I made the report of this negro’s being stubborn and not working to suit me, to Mr. Ivy; Ivy is the proper man to make a report to; this boy had not been reported to Ivy be fore; Ivy said that I had better give him a little rest and see if he would not do better.

The crowd of spectators did not abate In the least during the day. IT BEATS THE LOTTERY AN HUMBLE MACHINIST FALLS HEIR TO $62,000! Georgs Henson; I know s convict died Saturday; don't their assistance, further than to pay down the cash for * *■* * * ike amount to which each convict Is charged, and get him released- The lingering pace and disappointed look which sash prisoner presented yesterday morn ing when the "snuff box” door was apruug, would naturally suggest tears to the stoutest hearted. The case of Julius Madison, for selling beer and re tailing on the Sabbath, was taken up. Two old disci ples of Faust appeared and did the buaineas for Julius, by swearing they got their morning nips at his establishment. The Court was sorry for Mr. Madi son, and oondcled with him in his misfortunes for some fifteen minutes and then let him pay fifty dol lars and coats. A. Hail came down in a perfect storm; with some thunder and lightning. He had also been guilty of the imprudence of selling whisky on the Lord’s day. The Court reminded Mr. Hail that it was ft hard week’s work to drink regularly Mx days, aad the seventh wfts intended aa a rest. "Give ’em a rest,” Mr. Hafl. The idea of s man’s wanting a drink the next morniDg, in order to get hts nerves in working order, was s mighty good sign that he had been drunk the over night, and needed a day’s respite in order to get his coppers cool. He fined Mr. Hail $50 and costs, as he dared not make fish of one and flesh of another. His Court w'as like a machine—all you had to do was to turn a crank, and the same results would follow in every in stance. Mr. Hail, gathering fury as the storm in creased, pourc l down fifty blazing stones and retired calmly. Jane Warren had been warring with old man Bar leycorn all day Monday, but at last she hung out her dilapidated skirt as a signal of surrender. She was carried down on a plank and her side arms appropri ated. She came up this morning looking as fresh as a pony and lively as a Morgan filly. She gets off with the costs as indemnity, the last milliard of which she paid in the afternoon, wheu the army of occupa tion evacuated her territory. DEATH OF A RICH UNCLE! J. M.

Mr. None boss and thk Grape Business.—Thia is the firat season in Atlanta’s history that the price of grapes has been i laced within the reach of all. Mr. Jonathan Norcroas, a public-spirited and enterprising citizen, and one who has given much of bis time and study to fault culture, has at last succeeded in estab lishing a vinyard of choice grapes of the most celebra ted variety,' and has, within the corporate limits, enough of this luseious fra it to supply the entire city; and the best part of ths whole thing, aside from the juiey grape, ia tbs very moderate price at which he sells them—only ten cents a pound. He has establish ed s depot at Barney Williams’ aactlon house, next door to Phillips k Crew, where nice, fresh grapes can had at all hours. They are neatly fitted up in three pound boxes, which he sells at twenty-five cents ft box.

She triea a hundred remedies, Alas! ’tis all in vain, For hair, when once by art destroy’d, By art ne’er sprouts again.” Jennie Tilley comes back on the Police Court as often as a counterfeit sblnplaster. She is no longer the gaudy butterfly of fashion that whilom led the Ion of her neighborhood by the proboscis. From a full-blown sunflower she has wilted to the commonest weed in the garden of Northern sensualism, aud goes back and forth from the whisky shop to the Work- house like a shuttle-cock. She was seen yesterday evening en route for the calaboose under escort of the guard: "Her back %vas long and her shoulders bare, And she strode along with a queenly air; Her teeth were false; her ears were thin, And a do A ny beard was on her chin.” When the sad story of her capture was told in court, it appeared that she wanted Kate somebody to cross the street with her. The latter (with emphasis and indignant hauteur) "didn’t err ss tho street with her sort.” Miss Tilley couldn’t afford to stand this, aud denounced her as a " Newfonndiandess,” and, to heap a heap of " injuriousness upon insultry,” hit her over the left auricular and tore her dress. She came into the presence of the Court with three chops and a blazo on her countenance, which the Judge thought was enough to constitute, in law, her face station. She begged hard to be allowed to depart and go to Decatur, but she had been let off once or twice before for that purpose, and each time missed her way, and it was decided to fine Jennie ten and costs. John Shepherd, whose flock was under the hill, was going down the previous night to his fold, but just to hear it roir, ho was caught throwing huge boulders at private houses. "Shep” was taken in out of the night and will get his fill of stones before he sees his little sheep any more. Max. Shrudler did not abate a nuisance as required, and pays coats with the understanding that he is to attend to it at once. W. 8. Shields endeavored to shield hiuiself from the charge of not being polite by stopping his street car on a crossing. It appears that Shields did not let it remain there longer than necessary to allow some ladies to get out, and the case was dismissed. Mark Green, impressed with the trite remark that bald face loves a shining mark,” abandoned himself to the seductions of the cup and fell by the wayside, chanting the following serenade to a guinea-fowl: "I deerly luv the siDgiu’ burd, And little bnzzie B, But deer-rer far, than.all the world, Is thy tweet voice to me.” The po ice board of social health took him in the incipient stages of his drink and carried him into court. The Itecor Jer considered him a sporadic case, and ordered him to the work house hospital on stone diet. The other cases were of a trivial aud crirnin .1 na ture, and do not belong to this serious department, and for the details of which the reader is elsewhere referred. United States Commissioner’s Court. Commissioner W. B. Smith yesterday investigated the case of the United States vs. Joseph Hulsey, charg ed with retailing without license. Gave bond in three hundred dollars. Richard E. Payne, charged wi’h distilling, gave bond in three hundred dollars. John Slaton, distilling, gave same bond. A. P. Brown, who was committed last week, was also released on bond yesterday. From Mr. M. F. Martin, the officer who arrested these parties, we learn that they were arrested in Daw son county, and that on reaching Gainesville on Satur day night they had to wait for Monday’s tiain. An hour or two before train time he heard that oue of the prisoners had gone and started to hunt him, when Gus Simmons introduced himself to me and requested a trial before the Commissioner there. This Mr. Martin could not grant, his instructions being to bring his prisoners to Atlanta for trial, Simmons then said he would have the trial then or have Martin’s scalp; Martin left him and went to the court-house; Simmons (followed him there; made use of similar throat6 with hia hand on his pistol, and keeping it there some minutes; after which Martin’s attention was called by the stable keeper; Martin then left for his quarters and learned that two of his pris oners were gone and 8immons waa trying te induce the others to leave; presently Simmons came to go into the prisoners again; Martin forbade his going in; he said he had the guard’s permission to enter and would do so; Martin then drew his pistol out of hia scabbard; determined to keep his prisoner, if pos- a bl*. Simmons put his hand on hia pistol and walked up to Martin—five or six others also putting their hands on their pistols and surrounding Martin, while still others showed a willingness to assist Simmons, if necessary. At this juncture Simmons threatened to mash Mar tin’s mouth. Mr. R. E. Payne, one of the prisoners, placed his hand on his pistol, to draw it in Martin’s behalf, stating that, as Martin had treated him well, he could not see him imposed upon. Mr. Caldwell, tho hotel keeper, now came np and took hold of ftyne, and said: ‘‘Let no man touch Simmons.” About five pistols were also drawn on Payne. Mr. Martin now asked Caldwell to protect him, as he was a guest of his house; whereupon Caldwell told Martin to go back into the hou*e, which ho did, acd Caldwell took Simmona away. Martin gathered up what prisoners ho had left and went to the depot, where h»-fwas again followed by Caldwell, Simmons, and several others. Here they tried to isduce some of the prifonera to leave Martin, offering to help them if necessary. They did not offer any additional indig nity to Martin, however, and be got off with theao three prisoner* safely. Nambering the House#. WHAT MR. BRADBURY HAS TO HAY REGARDING THE SUBJECT. On yesterday a Herald reporter called on Mr. W. 8. Bradbury for the purpose of ascerUinfftg what pro gress ho had made In numbering the houses, and get ting any other Information he could obtain relative to the matter. Mr. B. gavo him a cordial welromo and tha desired information. He explained the method he had adopted so as to best prevent confusion. had selected the point wbero Peachtree aad Whitehall intersect Marietta and Decatnr as a centre, and with these four streets divides ths town Into four parte. Any street crossing Marietta or Decatur la divided in to two different streets, distinguished from each other by having North or South prefixed to the name of the street; tho same in reference to those crossing Peach tree or Whitehall, only East and Waat ia substituted for North and South. In all Instances, the num bora ooosnasnoa at tho point wham the street crosses either of the founstreets mentioned, the Dum ber increasing as they proceed «a*t, ,weat and south, He baa finished number.ng the foil oafi ng big* afreets: Marietta C20; Decatnr 494; Whitehall 1*8; Teftehtroo 875; E.

He proposes completing tha job by the middle of August. ** , Mr. B showed the reporter some gilding done by hia son Charley, a boy about twelve years of ape, that la worthy of comment and reflects great credit on the boy. All the numbers finished are neatly painted and gilded, and are warranted to last for twenty years. It is seldom that the poor and deserving class of a community happen* to a “good atreak of luck,” and the fickle Goddess of Fortune apparently alms her shafts above those whose condition in life would bo benefitted by the bestowal of her favors. AK HOJTEST, HARD-WORKING MACHINIST, named Joseph P. Police, has been at work in the State Road shops in this city for a long time, and was ac counted by the " bosses” as ono of their steadiest and most reliable workmen, who supported his sma’l fam ily by the daily sweat of his brow. There was living in the city of Charleston, South Carolina, AN OLD UNCLE of Mr. Police, who fell sick and sent for his nephe- to come to his bedside. Arriving at Charleston he at once repaired to the stately mansion of the sick man, and there found his relative on a dying bed. No time was lost in stating to the visitor why he waa sent for, and was then told that he had left his tire estate, AMOUNTING TO $52,000, to him as his sole heir. At the Bame time he drew under his pillow over $1,700 in cash, besides several gold watches and other valuables. The old man at length died, and examining into his effects. Mr. Police found himself the fortunate possessor cf vast amounts of railroad and bank stocks, gold, real estate and a splendid mansion in the city of Charleston, in all amounting to the above sum. Mr. Police, after rewarding his uncle’s faithful housekeeper to the amount of over two thousand dol lari, made arrangements to return to Atlanta, where ho arrived a much richer man than when be left. In looking through oue trunk Mr. Police DISCOVERED $900 IN GOLD, which was rather a surprise, and which seems to have been overlooked in the deed. Of course this good fortune, if judiciously Laudled will render Mr. Police comfortable the remainder of his life. It is state 1 that his uncle posses, ed large means Europe, which will go to his relatives in that country- Mr. Police takes bis new estate with much sang froid, and appears to be unsonscions of his good luck. It might be well to say, however, that hdis, for the present" taking a rest,” tho weather being a “ little oppressive,” and he thinks his constitution needs the least recreation in the world. The Catholic Cliui-cli. CONFIRMATIVE SERVICES LAST EVENING—ANOTH ER ELOQUENT KERMON BY BISHOP GROSS. Tne Catholic cnurch was denecly crowded last even ing to hear Most Reverend Bishop Gross, on the sub- ject of confirmation, and for aa hour he held forth in one of his most eloquent and soul stirring addresses The crowd was so largo that it was impossible for our ' reporter to approach nearer thao a pew or two from the door, and consequently was unable to hear all that the able divine said. We noticed, among other distinguished Protestauts present. Rev. Dr. D. Wills, of the Presbyterian church. The singing by the choir was superb, and we would remark that thia is one % of the best choirs in the city. After the sermon a numter of young ladies and gentlemen were confirmed. As each one advanced and knelt before the Bishop, the confirmations were per formed. This beautiful ceremony excited the deepest interest, especially in those who were not of the Catholic faith, aud to whom the ceremoLies were entirely new. The usual services followed the rites of confiima- tion, and upon ♦be conclusion Bishop Gross addressed the Catholic portion of his congregation, referring to the fact when be was here four years ago. they had nothing but the little church they were then in, with small and poor congregation, and he was most agree ably surprised on his present virit to find here a beau tiful structure, which, when completed, would be, un questionably, the handsomest church edifice iu Geor gia— an ornament to the city and a monument to the Catholics of Atlanta. He hoped aud believed that it would be completed at an early day, and he ap pealed to his Catholic hearers to subscribe liberally of their means and to devote every cent they could spare towards hastening its completion. He wished them to bear in mind that the money was not for the Priest nor for any individual person, but for the erection of a houae of God. Everything they contributed, there fore, was money lent to the Lord, which would be re turned many fold. The swelling noies of the organ resounded through tho sacred edifice; the choir resumed its singing, and, to the soft melody of sacred music, the multitude slowly left the building. The Pigeon Trap. The Marietta street cars were crowded yesterday evening with men and boys of all sorts and classes, hurrying to the Fair Grounds to witness a pigeon shooting match, to take place under the fostering care club of the boys. The best shots in the city were entered, and rare sport was expccted;hcnce the crowd as large, and expectation on the tip-toe. The following entries were made, and the men took position in the order in which their names are given: Willis Venable, Mr. Fe^ree, Lewis Alexander, Dr. Drake, Mr- Tom Clarke, Perry Cliif-holra, Mr. J. D. Collins, Fred Cunningham. Of caurse, each man had his backers, but it seemed that Fred Cunningham was the favorite at the start, lie has a superb reputation as a quick shot, and won the flsst prize at the Nashville Fair, two years ago. CONTENDING WITH MEMPHIS AND NASHVILLE CRACK SHOTS. The ball was opened by Willis Venable taking posi tion, Penn Bedell superintending tho birds and the trap. Venerable struck his bird, but having a good start, it went wheeling beyond eighty yards of boun dary, and Perry Chisolm, who was standing near, brought it down on a neat shot. Ferree’a bird, hover ed half a second, as it shook loose from the trap, and- then stretched itself for a flight; but Farres stopped it, dropping it in ten feet of trap. Alexander missed his bird clear, having a very dirty gun. Clarle missed his bird on the first shot, but took it in nicely withhts second barrel just aa it was crossing tho line. Chisolm struck his bird, aud showered the feathers down, but didn't get his work in deep enough, and the bird wa3 about getting off when Dr. Ralph Bad ger, who wa3 watching liia chances, drew him down from out the clouds in a quick and cred itable shot. Doctor Collins, amid the applause of spectators then took his stand, and knock ed a handful of feathers out of his pigeon, which however, seemed just to clear it up for its work, and it come hustling back to Atlanta. Cunningham took his bird on the first rise as, quick as lightning, aud it dropped like a shot. The second rouud opened with Venable’s getting a handfnll of shot into his bird, which hobbled just outside the line and died. Fcrree killed his bird, of course, by a brilliant shot. Alexander struck his, and Dram finished it for him in an off-hand shot. Drake dropped his owu bird in a flash, aud Clarke followed with a clear mis* of two barrel*. Chisolm gathered his bird in his flue style, and Dr. Collins followed, only getting a handful of fea hers out of a "slow” bird that Bedell jerked np for him. Cuuningbam then made a bad miss aud ruined his chance*. It was his ouly miss during tho evening. TIIE THIRD AND FOURTH ROUNDS showed no new features, except that Venable and Clarke made capital shots, aud Dr. Collins got his first bird. Drake aud Ferroe each killed their birds on each round, and became the favoritos. Cunningham brought his birds with ease each round, aud but for his unaccountable miss would have tied the winners. Venable made a capital shot; Alexander got his first bird; Dr. Collins brought the feathers flying, as usual, but had to call Venable to finish his work. Ferree and Duke each killed tbeir birds, thus mak ing ft tlo, which, the birds being used up, was not settled, aad consequently tln^hampioushlp ia not de cided. Both gentlemen are magnificcut shots, aa, in deed, all tho contestants were. Of tbs forty-two birds thjown up, only one got off the field unhurt, and nearly every one was struck the first shot. Dr. .Owens waa struck in the hip by a stray shot and a gentleman named Lynch got two or three In his cheek. Alexander gave Kitnbro hia shot in ono rouud aud thus bagged his first bird. To Mias Ada Weathebly.—Miss Sarah A. Weather ly, of Talladega county, Ala., is iu the city, stopping at tho Air Lino Houso. She came to the city in search of her airier, Ada Weatherly, to whom sho has been writing in care of Colonel Pieyer. If cither Colonel F. or Miss W. should see this, they will please call at ths Air Lino and meet Miss Sarah W., who anxlomly awaits them. Qr»* for Athens.—Messrs. J. 0. Bridger, W. Y. For- ayth and A. 0. Smith left on the 6 r. m. train yester day, to attend the session cf the Grand Lodge of Knlghta of Jericho, which commences to-day. They go aa tha fcpreaentativas of Atlanta and U ndina Lodges of thia city, axcipt Mr. Forsyth, who is tha proeent Grand Sac rotary. A NEW INDUSTRY. PROJECT TO ORGANIZE A COMPANY FOR THE MAN UFACTURE OF FERTILIZERS. There is a flattering prospect that another important and profitable branch of manufactur ing industry will shortly be established in At lanta. Mr. Ch&s. Pratt, a. brother of Dr. N. A. Pratt, Professor of Chemistry in the Washing ton and Lee University of Va., who discovered the phosphate beds of South Carolina, is now in tho city engaged in getting up a com pany for the purpose of manufacturing fer tilizers. A meeting of monied men has been called to investigate into his plans. He pro poses to demonstrate that the crude material can be brought here and manufactured into the fertilizers, for less money than it can be transported here ready made. Mr. Pratt will present designs and plans proving the truth of what he asserts. In conversation with him on yesterday he gave our reporter some of the points he would make. For instance: A ton of sulphuric acid cost $12 to transport from the sea coast to Atlanta, while enough sulphur and nitro to make a ton of tho acid can be transported for not more than $5. The raw phosphate can be bought here f?r three dollars per ton, and is not liable to auy injury whatever, whether from rain or sunshine. The freight on the manufactured article is five dollars, and it is subject to injury. Besides, the Wi.t3r used in its manufacture weighs so much,and freight is consequently paid upon it. All thiUi s considered, Mr. Pratt holds that it is cheaper to bring the new ma terial here and manufacture fertilizers,than to bring the manufactured article to the city. Gentlemen who desire to obtain further par ticulars, will obtain them from Mr. Pratt. Our purpose in this article is merely k to call attention to the project. If the sta tistics of Mr. Pratt are borne out by the facts, a most profitable dustry is open to Atlanta. Thousands of tons of fertilizers are yearly sold here, and if we can retain the money expended in their manufacture, it will be so much more ma terial wealth added to the city. We trust that our capitalists will investigate Mr. Pratt’s project, aDd if it be found practicable and profitable organize a company at once. The Concert Lost Niglu. The concert given at the Christian Church on Hun- r street last evening, for the] benefit; of the Sab bath school of the church, was very well attended by appreciative audience of ladies and gentlemen, the music was excellent, the selection of pieces being most fortunate, and those participating exhibiting considerable musical talent, which has been well im proved by study and practice. It a as really agree ably surprising to us to witness the perfect *.ord that existed between the entire class which composed, in patt, of smsll children—members of the Sunday School. Our very limited acquaintance with the participants only enables us to note that the deep, rich boy-voice |of Mr. Albert Perdue was modulated, and admired, while the sweet, clear notes of Mrs. Howell and Miss Perdue were the subject of general commendation. Others there are that deserve special mention in this connection, bnt the names do not occur to us. In fact, all did exceedingly well, and merit credit fer the minner in which they deported themselves. We suggest that as the objrct sought to be accom plished by the concert is a laudable one—the improve ment of the Sunday School Library—the exercises be repeated at an early day.

One Beneficiary student is received from each 8ena tor.al District of any State and one from each Con gressional District of the different States. Some of the physicians and clergymen are very properly accorded Beneficiary Scholarships. Each scholarship is worth to the recipient of it $‘200, and those receiving such aid are known only to the Dean. Mode of obtaining a Beneficia’-y Scholarship learned by applying to Dr. E. S. Gaillard, Dean, Louisville, Ky. As the next session begins lu September, all young men needing aid should apply as early as possible. Killing in Alabama.—Frcm a private letter just received at this office, we learn that a difficulty recur red at Dudieyville, in Tallapoosa ceunty, Alabama, on last Thursday, between Mr. Joseph Heard aud Mi John Jennings, in which the latter waa killed.

Mr. Garrett states that Col. L. P. Grant waa t ying to arratige a low through freight tariff over hia road aud connecting roads, and would present a written rc port at an early day. Mr. J. A Stewart again called attention to the need of an Elevator in Atlanta. Two or three thousand bushels of wheat could be sold daily to the millers of Atlanta, Macon, Augusta and other cities. Would not expect one to go into operation without it would pay. Committee ought to be aent North to examine their practical workings, and the probable cost of one suit cd to the wants of Atlanta. Too late for the preeeut season, but one ought to be got ready for the next crop. Mr. John Stephens had oouvera* d with Western men on tho oUvator question.
