An immense crowd ot people consisting of the beauty and intelligence ot Atlanta assem bled last night at the rooms of the Young Men's Library, to do honur to the memory ol Scotland's greatest poet. It was unfortunate that a larger hall was not selected for the celebration, fuhy a hundred ladies aud gen tlemen being turned off lor want of even sinmiing room. The same cau*e prevented our repoiter from giving but a brief and im perfect report ol the enter til nment. "Scots wba hae wi’ Wallace bled,” l»y the company, was the opening of the ceremony, after which Dr. David Wids addressed the audience, euchaimng it in wrapt attention to the recital of the deeds and writiugs of the poet. Ha said: "In attempting the difficult and delicate task aligned me, I cannot refraiu from breathing forth the ferveut prayer of the great poet himself— •• • Oh were I on Paro***u»’ hill. Or bad I of H'-licon m j till— Thai I m.gbt catch poetic 'kill, To t*lng how dear 1 love the©.’ | "We are here to pay a feeble tribute to * "That might* p>> tot the h*art. Whom nature bleated beyond the reach ef art." ' "We, in common with the countless mil lions of mankind,” he said, ‘owe a debt of gratitude to him who hath sung to us io such celestial stains of ‘ye banks and braes, and streums around the castle of Montgomery,’ "The modest crimnon-tipped flowers,” "A man’s u man 4 for a’ that,” and of "Kne-ling down to Heaven’s Eternal King.” "The golden hours on angels’ wings flew o’er us” while we have listened to the sweet, enchanting melodies of Seodand’s greatest lyrical poet. The speaker then furnished a brief sketch of I he poet’s life, aud stated that though he was a Scotsman in the whole make up of the man, yet he belongs alike to the wuole world of letters. You could as eabily conceal the splendor of the bkirs from the \tftt~crsai gaze | ot m inkinci, as to confinu the lustre of his lofty genius to any country or people Vice President Garrett presided over the meeting on ’change yesterday morning.

There were deep mines of mental wealth in his nature which lor lack ol time and culture lay undeveloped. The thoughts be has given us are like crystals in a cave—bright and pure indeed, bnt shining thr ugh au atmosphetu of darkntss. The sp aker here went on to renew th-- trialK, bufferings, persecutions and early death of the poet, but tne lateu as of the hour pre vents a lull report of his address. Tne speaker concluded his sketch of Barns by a touching tribute to his virtues and gen ius and throwing the mantle of charity over Lis faul s. He said he was "an honest man, the noblest work of God,” and “Through all hi^tuufful heart how f troop Tne human feeling gusbee; The very mooi.lignt of hi* eong.

Gallant Cenrtact of a Policeman. On Friday evening last, as one ot the West End street cars was enroute lor the city, lull freighted with passengers, it made a narrow escape from destruction, and probably the death ot several, if not all the passengers. Ah the car ne*red the crossing of the Macun and Western Railroad, the incoming freight was Ke*u to be rapidly Approaching, the driv er from some cane**, either fnght or careless ness-stopped the rnuies and car on the track, when Mr. J. W. Smith, a policeman, who was on duty there, rushed to the mules and turned them around just in time to avoid the engine and train as they tbnndered past. The- pastengj'rs were considerably fiighteni-d but through the self-possessioa of Mr. 8mith were saved from s horrible death.

The Bonds having been issued and signed it is the intention of the Board to posh the work to an early completion, and ere long the vexed qnectlon of Water Works will be deci ded by an ample supply of good water being famished to all who desire it. Delegates to the Temperance Convention arriving to-day, am requested to visit Geor gia Lodge Meeting to-night at 71 o’clock, at Good Templar's Hall, corner Broad and Ma rietta Streets. The New York Herald’s Washington repre sentative sends that paper, of Wednesday, the following notice of Gen. Gordon's speech ou the Finances, delivered in the Senate the day previous. The speech itself, has not yet appeared, being withheld for reason: It was refreshing to Dehold Gordon, of GeO’gia, to-day, when he rose on the finan cial question Gifted with native eloquence and a confidence in the mastery of his sabject, eschewing manuscript, he gal lantly grappled the difficulties of his tieme. Gordon, who was Jate v ajur General in the Confederate army, aud present at th ^ surrender of Appomattox, is a fine, soldierly appearing man, of erect mein and bristling with intelligence. He spoke schol arly and argumentatively, and at times reached somewhat the ideal of the grand advocate of his stricken and impoverished section. While some doubt had arisen of his recon- struct^dnehs, he gave expression to such na tional loyalty and deep ieeliug for the honor and dignity of the whole country as would warrant the o. inion that the stern school in which be had served during the rebellion brought him ont only the purer for it, like refined gold. He tempered the discussion with such beau tiful sentiment that one might have said it was not a case of "hard cash,” but sympa thetic fealty. In the coarse of Gord >n’s ar guments, which were very good and master ly io figurative allusions, he drew a painful yet prnctical view of the present condition of the South. It hid become unprofitable to plant cotton, and during the coming year not more than one-third of a crop would be planted. The South was suffering for banking facili ties snd currency. He ably reviewed the case hs presented by those who preceded him, and said the panic was produced by the rigid ity, non-elasticity and insufficiency ot the cur rency, the system of which hid made us a na tion of speculators and gamblers. He indors ed tbo views of Logan and Morton, showing hat the ill effects of a return to specie pay ments would be, and what the benefits of is suing more currency, which would largely flow to th) South and relieve fr£m the heavy interest, amounting twenty-five per cent., which it has to pay to borrow money. lie scouted the idea of specie being a preventive aguiDst panicH, and instanced the cases of England and France in the past. He referred to what England bad done through inflation in the cultivation ot cotton in her eastern colonies. He closed with a fine peroration, saying tnat it was time the agricultural interes s of the South should receive speci il consideration in the legislation of the country. Concentrated capital was hammering at .he doors of both ings of ihe Capitol for a hard money system but he, speaking for the South, was for more money with an elasticity, convertible and interconvertible, and hoped the dav would soon come wheu we would issue such a cur rency, tonnded on the credit of the whole country. In conclUMon he said that the day the Government issues such a currency in dollars, not prorates to pay, that day We would have another Independence Day in enjoyiutf an independence from our own aud foteign speculators iu gold. The effort was a very fine oneou the whole, and significant in the extreme as showing overtly that the South joins hRnds with the West, and that, the granger influence is quietly but steadily as serting itn strength, aud may be said now to hold the balance of power.
