TO ADVERTISERS.
THE ATLANtTdAILY HERALD
HAS THE IAR6EST CIRCULATION
OF ANY PAPER PUBLISHED IN THIS
SECTION OF GEORGIA.
The Herald regrets to annouuce to those
of its friends who have favored it with their
cards for its “ Engine Directory" that we were
not able to pet it completed for this morning’s
tiip. Mr. McClure has been busily engaged
for two days and nights, steadily, and is not
yet through. The Directory will be the hand
somest thing evqt issued from Atlanta, and
we have it on exhibition in our front press
room this morning. Call and look at it.
WO ( ViOLKKA IX UIA'GGOLD.
We have received a communication from
Ringgold, signed by several leading citizens,
who aver that there is not any cholera in
Ringgold, and that they do not think there
has been any. We are very glad tq give pub
licity to this good news. We must say, how
ever, that our information as to there being
two or three deaths from cholera in Ringgold
some time since, was absolutely authentic. The
Herald never publishes any reports that are
not reliable, and we must believe still, that
the cholera or something very much like it,
ha9 been in Ringgold. Our information come
direct from the Mnj’or of the city, through a
lawyer in Dalton. We are glad to know that
onr little sister up tho road is perfectly
healthy, and trust she will never have another
scare.
CJClt IIY1VKRSITV CORRKSPOHD-
MtK.
We are especially pleased with onr blight
and newsy telegraphic correspondence from
the University of Georgia, conducted by onr
young fellow-townsman, Mr. Edgar Angier.
It would be difficult to pack more news in a
smaller space than Mr. Angier has done in
his dispatch of to-day. He has certainly
accomplished an unusual feat io getting a
peep at the famous "Bine List," and allowing
ns to print this morning the list of honor
that will be read in Athens this afternoon,
and which is kept always" in jealous secrecy
unlit it is made public from the lips
of the Chancellor on commencement day.
We sincerely trust that our correspond
ent will not find verification of one rumor
he telegraphs ns to-day, viz: that one which
touches upon the resignation of Chancellor
Lipscomb.
(lift COItFRKRE, THftC IMITATOR.
Nothing amuses the IIep.ald so much as to
witness the manner in which our Broad street
cotemporary imitates ns. It never originates
unjdhing; it always imitates. If we intro
duce a new feature in Georgia journalism, it
is certain to imitate ns a few days later.
If we print an eight-page paper it follows
suit; if we publish special dispatches
from various points, it tries to do the same
thing the next day. When we chartered a
special engine it ridiculed us, but very soon
it saw that there was something to be gained
by it, and so it now charters a sjjfci train.
Perhaps the most amusing evidence of how it
imitates, and never originates, is to be found
in its attempt to get up an advertising plac
ard for its engine. The Herald began this
on Friday evening last. On Monday the
Bread street Imitator heard of it, and imme-
started to get up one too.
Of course this imitation of the Herald is
very gratifying to onr professional pride. It
is an involuntary homage paid to our supe
riority, and a voluntary acceptance of the po
sition of second fiddler. It makes no differ
ence that people prefer good original to a bad
imitation. Sufficient it is to us to see
our enterprise and onr originality thus
acknowledged by a competitor who, & few
months ago, claimed to be the “leading
paper” in Atlanta, and which is now ridicu
lous enough to put up the same claim while
admitting its second place by feebly imitat
ing everything that the Herald does.

Two tank boats filled with oil. moored to the dock of
Rockafeller’s oil works, at Hunter’s Point, L. I., ex
ploded this afternoon, and set fire to the barrels and
tanks of oil in tho yard. The fire spread almost in
stantaneously, and enveloped some three squares, oc
cupied by the oil works of various parties. There
was a very light wind, and a volume of smoke
ascended to immsnse height, and of a density such
as was never before seen here, covering Brooklyn
completely fiom the sunlight and extending for miles
over the bay and out to sea. The firemen who wers
promptly ou band were unable to approach the yards
or docks, owing to the intense heat and suffocating
smoke. Pratt’s oil works, the L. I. City Oil Works,
Lowenstein’s varnish factory, and other works were
consumed, and several buildings In the vicinity. Capt.
Mercer, of one of the Lake boats, is reported killed by
the explosion, and a large number of boatmen jumped
into the water to escape being roasted alive. The fire
burned from three o’clock, all the afternoon, and Is
still burning to-night. Various rumors cf a large loss
of life are current.
Elmira, N. Y., August 5. 1873.
Tne National Educational Association met this morn
ing in this city. About one thousand delegates and
members were present, and nearly every State in the
Union was represented. The Association was wel
comed to the city by the Mayor in a brief speech, and
the President of th • Board of Education, B. H. No •
thrup, responded in a graceful manner. The ques
tion then to be discussed was very handsomely intro
duced by Hon. Edwin Shipper, of Philadelphia, and
was: Ought the Chinese and Japanese indemnities
to be refunded unconditionally, or ought they to be
devoted to specific educational purposes. He was fol
lowed by Dr. McCosh of New Jersey, who made a very
strong speech, the point or which was that the govern
meat should be careful lest the fund fail into the hands
of the reactionary party.
The following gentlemen took part In the discussion:
Hon. F. Hall of this cily, John Hancock of Ohio, Pro
fessor Chsrles Hammond of Massachusetts, Professor
A. C. Horton of New York, Professor B. Wigewood of
Washington, the Vice Chancellor of the new university
in that cily. The subject under discussion was laid
tbe table, to come up Linder the resolution.

St. Louis, August 5, 1873.
An election was held yesterday in the Cherokee Na
tion for members to the National Council and dele
gates to the Grand Council at Ocmnlgec, which meets
on the first Monday in December next. The interest
of the election rests mainly upon the issues which have
sprang np in tbe Nation daring the past few years
relative to tbe establishment of a territorial govern
ment for the Indian Territory, and the allotment in
severalty. The Progressive party believe that they
have carried tbe election, but owing to the remoteness
of some of the voting precincts and the absence of
telegraph, resnlts cannot be ascertained for some
days. The new Council of the Cherokees will vote to
ratify or reject the Constitution which was framed by
the Grand Council at Ocmnlgee in 1870; and upon this
issue the campaign was conducted.-

In pursuance of a well matured plan, we
have established a branch office in Macon,
and placed in charge of it Mr. B. W>Smith,
who is loo well and favorably known in onr
sister city to nfeed any recommendation from
us. Under Mr. Smith's able and energetic
management, we expect to make the “Macon
Department" of the Heeald one of the
most interesting features of this paper.
This addition had become a neces
sity. Very many persons, including a
large number of our subscribers, had express
ed regret that we did not furnish reports of
local events transpiring, not only in Macon
but at other points in Georgia. We have
now made a start in this direction, and we
have almost completed arrangements for dai
ly reports from every point within the limits
of our circulation.
It is tnus that we hbpe to make tbe Herald
» welcome and necessary visitor to every
home in the South. Our “Macon Depart
ment” will be full and graphic, and it is our
purpose not to be beaten in matters of news
by any paper published there. In fine, it is
onr intention to make the Herald as much
a Macon as an Atlanta paper, so that,
when seated at their breakfast tables,
onr patrons of the Central City can find the
local news ol^their own community recorded
side by side with the local news of Atlanta,
Griffin, LaGrange, Newnan, West Point, For
syth, and, in short, every town of importance
in Middle and Southwestern Georgia and
North Alabama.
Step by step the Herald moves forward on
its course, never halting by the wayside, but
ever onward. Would-be rivals may imitate
ns. but they cannot equal. We propose to
make the Atlanta Herald the leading paper
in the South. It shall always be independent,
ever denouncing wrong where wrong exists
ever exposing fraud where fraud is, and ever
the jnest enterprising newspaper South of
/^ew York City.
The following controversy between Gen. D
Hill and Parson Brownlow is still going on
I his letter, Hill says: “Brownlow boosts
that he still lives. Yes, ho does drag out
miserable existence, apparently that he mfty
stand as a monument of tbe effects of wick
edness and the malignity of Satan, which can
thus transform a human being into a hide
ous and ghastly wreck, jeering at Heaven and
abhored by mankind.”

Smuggler.
MAINE.
Within the last few days attention has been
drawn to a rising trottiug star in the far West.
A stallion called Smuggler was given a new
trial at Olathe, Kansas, and as he made a sec
ond neat in 2:10J, the fact was telegraphed all
over America. The Kansas City Journal of
Commerce publishes a glowing account of
the performance, declaring with a burst of
enthusiasm that Smuggler is “the best and
fastest stallion in America." He seems, from
the way he trotted, to be a very good horse,
but when the.Kansas City editor ranks him
above all other stallions, the gentleman is
somewhat reckless. Smuggler is now seven
years old, and was raised by Mr. Mace Mor
gan, in Johnson county, Kansas. From the
report in the Journal of Commerce of Wed
nesday, July 23, we take the following:
It is only within the past six months that
he developed any ‘trotting’ propensities,
pacing’ being his natural gait, aud he was en
tered as a pacer in the races at our county fair
lost Fall. With a few months’ handling he
developes a speed excelled only by Dexter or
Goldsmith Maid after years of the most thor
ough and careful training, trottiug his mile
fairly and squarely, without a single break, in
less than 2:20, with the utmost ease and elo-
gance. At a trial of speed on Tuesday morn
ing Smuggler trotted three heats, makiug the
first in 2.-23, the second iu 2:194, and the third
iu 2:30. Tho two first heats were made with
out a single break; in the third heat ho broke
badly when part way round the track. Tbe
last half mile in the second heat was made in
1:084- The above time is made by but few
horses; and when we consider that be has had
but a few months’ training ns a trotter, and
that the track is lb feet over a mile, the speed
shown ou Tuesday proves Smuggler to be the
most promising and valuable horse ou the
American turf, Dexter not excepted."
Our Western friends it would appear, put
faith in public trials of speed. They are well
aware that the time of a horse can be taken
jast as accurately iu a trial of the kind, w^th
no wager of any sort at stake, as- it can be
in a regularly advertised trottiug /ace upon
which pools are sold. That a horse of Smug
gler’s age aud training should trot a second
mile in 2:19;] certainly is remarkable. The
third heat in 2:30, however, is hardly np to
tbe average. Such a falling off iu speed
would lose tbe race in a closely
matched contest of best thico in
five. Although Smuggler has proved
himself to be such a good horse, he
is not yet at the top of the ladder. Gold
smith Maid has a record of 2:104; Dexter's
record is 2:104, and it is a well known fact
that he trotted the mile iu 2:10 when he iiu-
ished second in the 2:15 heat in the celebrated
race with Ethan Allen and running mate.
American Girl’s best record is 2:17j, aud
Lady Thorne is credited with 2:184. George
Palmer lias trotted in 2:194, FLra Tcmplo iu
2:194, and Lucy in 2:191. Iu a public trial at
Prospect Park, witnessed among others by
the writer of this atticle, Startle, when lack
ing four days of being five years old, trotted
his second l^jle iu 2:194, and since that time
he has finished a mile in Fleetwood
Park in 2:19. Another of Mr. Bonner’s
horses, Joe Elliott, was given a public trial at
Boston last year, aud good aud responsible citi
zens have certified that lie made tho mile in
2:154. We give Smuggler full credit for what
he has done, hut wc call attention to tho well
authenticated performances of other horses,
in order that the Kansas people may see, by
way of comparison, that the seven-year old
stallion bred in their State falls far short of
being “the best and fastest" horse in Ameri-
We hope to sec the new star ou an East
ern track before long, and a horso of his
speed and promise will be pretty sure to find
his way to tbe Atlantic seaboard sooner or
later. Possibly, after he makes a campaign
on the turf, his admirers will not bo quite as
sanguine as they are now. Saturday last
Smuggler was purchased by W. S. Tough, of
Leavenworth City, aud we understand that
an extravagant price is now asked for him
THE IIEUALD IX MACON.
The arrival of the Herald’s special train iu
this city (Macon) created the utmost excite
ment. The general feeling was that the Her
ald was a combination of mystery, enterprise,
pluck, vim and money, such as had never be
fore been known iu Georgia. Among tho cit
izens generally much satisfaction was ex
pressed at the promise of a full report of all
local events transpiring in Macon, and, as an
evidence of their purpose to support this
latest enterprise of the Herald, we have only
to mention that a large number of citizens
came forward and subscribed for the paper.
Indeed, if the flattering list obtained ou yes
terday be any indication of what the popular
opinion is, it will not be many days before
we shall have as large a circulation, propor
tionately, here as we have in Atlanta. Mean
time we return thanks for the favor already
shown, and trust that by giving the people of
Macon a live, enterprising and energetic news
paper, we will merit a liberal shire of public
patronage.

THE ‘’VICTOR”
A certain “ Esquire Bcasly,” of Crockett
county, Tennessee, i« in trouble. One of biH
hens persisted in going up a tree to lay ber
eggs, and having ltiid them iu that outrageous
position, she added to her iniquity by batch
ing out a brood of chickens some sixty feet
from terra firma. How those chickens are to
be got down is what is worrying tbe squire.
Ho bi\B tried splicing ladders, but the only re
sult was that the splicing broke, and tbe best
darkey on the place fell from the top just as
be was getting at tbe chickens -and broke
both bis legs, one of bis arms, bis collar bone
and six ribs, lie has tried taking down tho
ligbtniug rods about the bouse and poking at
| | __ tbe nest with tho poiuts, but as this was done
make money for them by prostituting our | during a thunderstorm, throe of bis bauds
bodies. Unless we make so much nightly w’e ! were killed by lightning, and the nest w -
are whipped and tortured. We would like to
lead more honorable lives. Will tbe authori
ties of this city aid us poor victims to escape
this disgraceful life? We will be grateful."
The girls could not bo found. A few days
iter one of them (Ah SiDg) escaped and fled
to the City Hall for protection. She was sent
to Rev. Dr. Gibson’s Chinese Mission School,
and was there married to Yat Lung. A few
nights sinco Yat Lung was taken beloro the
Hip Yer Tong Society, and there told that ho
mu6t, under the penalty of death, pay the
keeper of tho brothel from which Ah Sing es
caped $300, the price of the girl. Yat Lung
returned to tho Mission, nml claimed there
that ho is afraid to go into the street. Yes
terday ho receivod from Hon. Lien Po, a
member of tho society, tho following cliarac
teristie, threatening letter:
Yat Luno: Dear Sir—Dear Friend—I
write nothing that is not important. A few
days since 1 desired with jou to seek somn
business more satisfactory to the heart. Now
I hear yoa lead tho police to arrest lion. Chan
Ah Yee on a complaint of forcing girls to a
life of prostitution. This is no small matter.
I fear Hon, Chan will bavo no placo to stand,
so I toll you for great mercy. You fled to tho
school. What you mean by this I do not
know. Some say to hide from tbo fearful
power of tho Hip Too Tong Society. I think
not, for wo aro men understanding virtuo.
Why do yoa allow this matter to iuclose you
like a not? Pay Hon. Chan Ah Yee $100, and
all will bo clear as ico melting beforo tho wa
ter. Como to my store and talk. All can bo
settled. Hon. Lien Po."
In tho rooms of the Hip Yoe Tang Society
the police found large rolls containing the
names of women sold, amount paid for eaeb,
and amount owed by customers. It is thought

Poor Brigham!
THIS TKOl'llLEH OF A MUCH-MALLIED MAN.
Brigham Young is very mad with tho wo
men of his household. Iu oue of his recent
sermons’’ ho said: “I wish my womou to
understand that what I am going to say is lor
them as well as others, and I want those who
are hero to tell their sisters -yes, all tho wo
men iu tho community. I am going to give
you from this tirno to tho 6th ot October next
for reflection, that you may determine wheth
er you wish to stay with your husbands or
not, aud then I am going to Bet every woman
at liberty, aud say to them, ‘Now go your
way.’ And my wives have got 4o do one ot
two things, cither round up their shoulders
to endure tho afflictions of this world, and
live their religion that is, polygamy—or
they must leave; for I will not have them
about me. I will go to heuvon alone rather
than to have scratching aud fighting about
me. 1 will net all at liberty. What, first
wifotoo? Yes, liberato you all. I want to
go somewhere or do something to got rid of
the whiners.”
The saddest sight which a cultivated mind
can dwell upon is a West Point cadet at
tempting to delude with soft speeches a New
York society belle, and imagining himself a
“terrible flirt.”
