THE . ATLANTA DAILY HERALD. VOL. 1. ATLANTA, GA.. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 1873. NO- 4 The Daily Herald. 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. OI K LATKST STEP FORWARD. GLIMPSES OF GOTHAM. ALMA MATER! Sixteen Murderers in the Tombs—Distress on Long Island—Another Swindle—Steamer Damaged. KxV You, Aug. 5, 1873. There are aUteen prisoner* aUU in the Tombs, charged with homicide. Kumeroua families have boon reduced to penury by the recent Long Island Arcs, and one family is forced to gc to the poor house. The police are after concerters of a circular signed Wright, Robinson, k Co., claiming to have exclusive knowledge what horses will win in tho forthcoming foreign races, and offering to send it from thair office, 693 Broadway, on receipt of ten dollars. No each Urm is found there. An English steamer, Evcrby, drawing twenty-one feet of u .ter, struck s sunken rock st the foot of 18th street, in East river, yesterday, and stove a bole in her bow. She was brought into dock with great dif ficulty. The rock was unknown to ssariners mail. Throe cases of snn stroke yesterday. The Captain and part of the crew of the schooner Nellie J. Densmore, died at quarantine of yellow fever. The Captain’s wife died of same disease on the voyage from Havana. Over one thousand emigrants arrived yesterday. 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. MISSOURI. BISHOP PIERCE’S ADDRESS.

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.- TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES. ltuce news from Saratoga to-day is : Battle Axe won the mile dash for two-year-olds—time 1:43*,'; eight horses started.

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.” WASHINGTON ITEMS.

Pres ent—Fish, Delano, Belknap, Williams. The President departs to-morrow. Jno. B. Stickney has been appointed United States Attorney for the Northern District of Florida. Tho Cabinet sesalon to-day was not an Important le. Beyond the transaction of routine business, much of the session, which continued about two hours, was employed in a general social conven tion, nothing of extraordinary consequence being un. der consideration. Athens, Ga., August 5, 1873. Bishop Pierce delivered the Alumni address to-day. His subject was, ** Public Opinion,” and the speech was a masterpiece. THE SOCIETY HONORS.

Clayton, of Atlanta, stood second in Junior Belles Lettres, and third in Metaphysics, a very high grade for a new student These two gentlemen are among the most brilliant men of the University, and while Bramby will carry off many class med als next session, Clayton will almost certainly take the Deboaor’s Medal.

Columuus Ohio, August 4, 1873. f cholera deaths have been reported here 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. When Henry Brown, of Brown k Co , booksellers, closed (he store ou Monday night, he unknowingly locked up two colored boys secreted in tho closet Browu stepped out to purchase a sugar, aud the thieves went for the cash drawer, abstracting about sixty-five dollars. They tbon opened the back doc»r and skedad dled. In their hurry they overlooked tbe open safe containing a large sum of money. Suspicion pointed to Cksd AllCQ knd Bo >ertToa»tiu.

AN INFAMOUS SECRET CHINESE SOCIETY IN SAN FRANCISCO -ARKEKT OF SEVERAL MEMBERS OF THE SOCIETY—THREE OF THE GIRLS RESCUED—A TOUCHING APPEAL TO THE AUTHORITIES — CHARAC TERISTIC CORRESPONDENCE. San Francisco, July 30, 1873. Tbe authorities to-day discovered positive evidence of the existence in this city of a secret Chinese society named Hip Yee Tong, formed for the purpose of tho prosecution of a traffic in Chinese women to bo sold into lives of prostitution. Seven members were arrested; but the society consisted of thiec hundred and fifty, and the officers arc search ing for the others.

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.
