THE FUNERAL OF LIEUTEN
ANT PENN BEDELL.
Transit of Venus.
BURIED WITH MILITARY
HONORS.
Washington’s Birthday.
THE LOUISAN A MUDDLE.
On yesterday st 3 o'clock we found Decatur
street, in the neighborhood of the Kimball
Donee, almost entirely blockaded with grare-
looking people. Upon inquiry we found that
the funeral of Lieutenant Penn Bedell was
the cause of this mighty concourse of people.
TES COBTSE.
We then went up stairs in No. 11, Bedell’s
room, and found there assembled many
mourners. The corpse was in a metalic col-
fin and looked perfectly natural. Had it not
b«.n for a swelling in the throat ha would
have passed for a living man.
The coffin was handsomely decorated with
flowers, wreaths, etc., with his sword, Zou
ave cap and belt lying on the top of it. The
cnly inscription on tire coffin was:
; Penn Bedell, 1
; Died February 19, 1871, I
j Aged 35 years. :
Tbe pall bearers consisted of two Sergeants
from each Atlanta Company, and oue irorn
the Jonesboro Zouaves. His remains were
escorted from his room to the Presbyterian
Church, where the funeral services were held,
nnd a touching sermon was preached by the
Rev. Mr. Mecauly, pastor of the Episcopal
church. From there ho was carried to the
graveyard and buned with military honors.
The Atlanti Zouaves, of which he was a
Lieutenant, the Governor’s Guards, Atlanta
Cadets, the Jonesboro Zouaves, and many
friends lollowing as mourners.

The Rumors Afloat About His
Whereabouts.
Central American Matters.
Rumob States that he was Captured in
Social Circle—That he was Seen in
East Point Day Before Yesterday, and
THAT HE HAS TELEGRAPHED FROM NEW
Orleans.
Those who are familiar with the street
corner talk, know that it is still a conun
drum as to who killed Penn Bedell, whether
it was Gaines or John Chisolm that tired the
fatal shot
A rumor was circulated last nii-ht to the ef-
feot that Capt. Jones, Chief of the Police,
had received a telegram from Social Circle,
aQOoanoiQg the capture of John Chisolm.
This we found was without foundation. Capt.
Jones stales that he received no such tele
gram, and both telegraph offices corroborate
his statement with the assertion that no such
telegram had been received over their wires.
SEEN NEAR EAST POINT.
Mr. Bain, a sewing machine agent, says
that he saw John Chisolm sitting by tne
roadside on day before yesterday, ami that
when he approached and called to Rim that
Chisolm inn into the woods. Says that he
knows Chisolm well and could nat have been
mistaken about identifying him. This state
merit seemt to be credited by the police, as
we have it Irom police circles that Captain
Tom Jones, Lieutenants Simmons and Hunt,
and Drpnty Sheriff Perkenson left last night
on horseback for East Point.
IN NEW ORLEANS.
The following is the last and most improb
able btatemeut iu reference to his wherea
bouts. We lound the following on our de k
last night:
•Lee Smith received the telegram append
ed lafci this afternoon, which is supposed to
Wtrom John Chisolm. It is also rumored
that his brother, Willis Chisolm, telegraphed
$> him at that point to come home and all
woild be right.”
THE TELEGRAM.
New Orleans, February SI, 1874.
Lee Smith, Atlanta, Ga.:
1 arrived here all right. Send particulars
at once. John .
We pnblish the above without believing it
tO he genuine. While it is improbable that
bo is in New Orleans, it is not ont of the
range of possibility. If he left here Thnra-
day Bight and took the train bound for the
Oreeeent City on Friday at 1 o’clock, he
would have landed there at 4:30 yesterday af
ternoon.
IT«it»ra and Atlantic Railroad Shops
Robbed.
This morning very early policeman John
Peers (who can peer into a case as quick as
the next one) saw a negro man with some
eld iron, which he to«k to a junk shop on
Whitehall street, between Mitchell and
Peters, end the thing looking suspicions, he
reported the faot to Lieutenant Tim Murphy,
who vent to said juDk shop and found a great
cbiaatity of old and new iron wbioh he
thought might bel- ng righfully to some Rail
road. Lieutenant Murphy thereupon went to
tbe Western and Atlantic Railroad
Shops, where he found Mr. John
Flynn, to whom he commnnicdei his sus
picions. In tbe meantime a guard had been
placed over tbe suspected goods. Mr. Flynn
and Mr. Gramling went to see the iron, who
indentifled tbe iron as belonging to the
Wratere end Atlantic Railroad. The atten
tion of Lient. Murphy was next drawu to
Jbnes wbo keeps a shop on Marrietta street,
and who bad beeo shipping a la ge quantity
of iron to the Whitebaii house, among which
wos a car hamper. Jones said on being
questioned that he bought the bumper and
other iron from a negro whose namo he did
not know, bnt would be able to reoogoize on
sight. Tbe Whitehall store was then searched
by tbe railroad officers together with Li^nL
Murphy, and a number of barrels and bags
containing near twenty thousand pounds of old
trim belonging to the State Road was found
and identified. Lient. Murphy will overhaul
•be thief we have no doubt.
It affords ns pleasure to call the attention
of Otr readers to the advertisement, in

Washington, February 21, 1874.
Admiral Davis and Capt C. P. Patterson
suceeed to tbe vacancies on the commission
of observation of the transit of Venus.
Stephens was out in a carriage to-day.
The Post-office Department will be* closed
on Monday, on account of Washington’s
birthday, which occurs to-morrow.
In tbe House there will be no session on
Monday.
Tbe Senate meets, but will doubtless ad-
jonrn early.
This is the first day in years that Washing
ton's birthday has had Congressional respect
The most plausible statement regarding
the new election for Lonisana is as follows :
The Democrats failing to inaugurate the
McEoery government by a direct vote in the
Senate will vote to commit Capenter’s bill to
the Committee on Privileges and Elec
tions, with instructions to report at
an early day. It is understood that ail the
Democratic Senators except Saulsbury
and Bijard will support a new election,
and these latter not to have made positive an
nouncements. Mr. Carpenter claims that
every Republican who supported the bill last
year, except two, will support it now. He
tailed then by only two votes, with all the
Democrats voting against him. Butler is
quoted: “If it passes the Senate, it is certain
to pass the House.”
The friends of the present government in
Louisiana, to whom the above was submitted,
reports that tbe prospects of a new election
arc highly overrated. It’s fair to say the
Democrats have had no formal consultation
meanwhile.
The Herald to-day publishes additional
evidence, and urges as a matter of common
justice to Judge Dnrell, that his course
should bo brought to question be-
fore tbe Senate. Its comments
are: Better that the alleged bankruptcy
swindlers enter largely into the question as
argued by the Herald. But as Marshal Pack
ard says they cannot impeach Norton the
Tribune is earnest for a new election. The
Times argues that there is no constitutional
guarantee for a new election. The best
opinion is that the trouble will be bridged
over by parliamentary delays. There is no
doubt, however, about the people of the
North sympathizing deeply with the while
people of South Carolina. Mississippi and
Louisiana, and that persistant bad behavior
will bring Federal restraiu*. on the nation s
wards.
General Sheldon, M.C., left to-night <o

in regard to captured and abandoned prop
erty fund, containing the following informa
tion: Tbe total amount of money covered into
the Treasury as the proceeds of captured and
abandoned property, consisting almost en
tirely of cotton, $20,910,GoO. Of this amount,
there have been paid to claimauts under
awards of the Court of Claims $6,300,403 and
as judgments of the United States Circuit
Court for New York $97,734, and as awards
by the Secretary • f the Treasury, under act
of May 18th. 1872, $97,734. The fund has
also been diminished by $75,000 expenses of
collection, leaving a balance in the Treasury
of $14,410,470. There remains unpaid judg
ment* of the Court of Claims amounting to
$1,834,011.
The Senate was not in session to-day.
In the Honse. the bill for the Washington
and Lookout Railroad was discussed all day,

NEW YORK.
New York, February 21.
The saloon keepers propose to organize a
Protective Uniou in every ward to protect the
riguts of citizeoB aud tax payers, and guard
their interest. They are preparing a pream
ble and resolutions, reciting that history has
shown that tbe use of the gifts of nature and
products of homan industry cannot be suc
cessfully interdicted by the enactment ot
laws; that every article of solid and liquid
food is to a certain extent poisonous; that tbe
policy of prohibition by law, in pluce of regu
lation of traffic, in fermented liquors, beer aud
wines, is as cieaily against the Bill of Rights
and the Constitution of the State and of the
United States, as would be interference with
increase of other trade or licensed business.
Yet, notwithstanding these reasons, fanatics
and riotous proceedings are rampant once
more. At a meeting ot saloon keepers yester
day, addresses were made denouncing the
present crusade of women, who will not allow

THE CELEBRATED ROCK QUARRY,

ii-ts, also, ot the Mayor and Council of Atlanta,
:alled to the aale of the “Lynch Quarry,” to take
plao»* at the court house, on the first Tuesday, the
third day of March next. This ia really #he finest
quarry of blue hard stone iu the State, and whoever
buys it, can furnish a supply of square rock, of any
dimeusloB, for side walk, curbing, crossing, or fo>
suy kind of building doue in the city It can be
furnished cheaper than that brought from a distance,
snd ought to be, snd will be, used for city buildings.
The best pnrt of the quarry lies down the branch, but
the executors having no right to make sny improve
ments in tne quarry, by ap-tiding a few hundred dol
lars in bf-aring off dirt, etc., had to tun over it a good
deal and thereby injured the appearance of the face
of it. The finest kind oi quarry cm be opened th re
by beariug off a small quantity of dirt TLcre are 10,^
acres of land surrounumg the quarry to be sold with
It, an < several bouses and bulluiug sites, ine nded in
the same. The walls for a U*ge two story etoue sta
ble, and a feed hou*e are bntlt there. It wsa the In
tention of the late owner to movo all his teams th» re,
and fence »u the whole place, consequently the exec
utors thought it advisable to sell all the err ommmg
lauds with tbe quarry, aud let tbe purchaser sub-di-
vide, if he Gesire it. Ttere are also two lots on
Broad street, 25 by 60 feet each, adjoining the Consti
tution Building, which will bo sold at the same time.
The terms are eaev, being one-third cash aud tne bal
ance In six months, and tha firstof February next,
giving the purchaser a chance to make a good portion
of the amount before ho has to pay for it. The fine
steam pump and mules, wagons snd harnets, will
also be sold. Ail personal property will he sold for
cash. Any person needing such property htd b*-Mor
attend the solo. It will be sold to tbe highest bidder.

We find that the Treasurer has been charging five

We, therefore, recommend that he be required to
