remarkably good time.

dinners, fruits, presents, etc., made them by
the ladies ot the neighborhood. The Athens

from the convicts aroa».d Athens to Mr
Rider and Mr. White, for a fine dinner given

[From tho Philadelphia Press ]
The Ro« abduction case is still the all-ab
sorbing topic in this city, and still appears to
be as tar trom being solved as at first. The
excitement outside of the city is as great as
here, and news concerning tLis dastardly out
rage is eagerly sought through tho entire
country. Private parties are constantly re
ceiving letters from friends afar off asking if

Now, with all reverence to the philanthropy
that prompts these kind acts, we must say we
think this is drawing it a little too fine on
“the boys in stripes.” They aro criminals,

I 0 f the crime is such, aud its con,mission re
quires such cold-bloooed work, that it hits

eitv, i'- waa a long time before the public
cool'd be actually aroused lo a belief in the

gereraiiy of a deep dye and this sympathy j the case is il

country that will work harm and cripple jus- | trators are ever discovered, but little sympathy

.... ,, . i -nnct merciless forms will ba meted out to
every county, and their woes saddening almost mer^ ^ me ^ mp
every community, it will reqnira very little to
throw a shade of martyrdom over their con
dition; and when this is done, they might
just as well be turned loose.
THE CONGRESSIONAL. RACE.
There is as yet nothing official to report in
connection with tho cas^. Detective T.iggart
and his coadjutors, Messrs. Lucke-ns and Car-
iiu, are still actively engaged in investigating
THM COMPLICITY OF CHRISTOPHER WOSSTKB
with the transaction, but are reticent as lo
him to have be

' is still in custody and protests his innocence.
The evidence is however, sufficient to keep
him closely confined aud sufficient to give an
assurance that a trail has been struck, which
at Wst, might lead to the recovery of the
child and the arrest of the kidnappers, with
out resorting to negotiation. Quite a number

If he did, in ten hours after tho child would
be returned to his home.
THEY COULD NEGOTIATE
by making an arrangement with him to meet
them at any place or hour most convtnient
to them, either on the street or in his house
at aDy hour of the night. The conversation
here terminated. There are a number of
points in this interview- worthy of notice.
Their desire to act fairly by Mr. Ross, so that
others might know that they keep their word,
an evidence, if the letters can be relied npon
at all, that there is an organized gang in this
city, who intend to prosecute it as a busi
ness. But judging from their first mistake in
stealing the child of a man unable to meet
their demands, and from the popular indig
nation at this Gist attempt at brigandage,
which is practiced so extensively in Europe,
it is thought that they will probably recon
sider this determination. Any negotiation
would be bat aiding them in their business,
and for this reason the fathers and mothers of
Philadelphia object to it, aud will gladly aid
in bunting them down, A public demonstra
tion has been suggested to show the popular
feeling, but this is discountenanced 1*3’ many
who believe that sooner or later the cbiid will
be restored to its parents and its inhuman
captors placed iu prison fora long term of
years.
" the pumlument
that may be mtlieted upon the guilty parties
under our laws is, for the separate crime of
kidnapping, an imprisonment of seven years
aud a fine of two thousand dollars. Other
charges, however, such as conspiracy to ex- |
tort money, highway robbery, &e., can be .
accumulated against them until the penalty
would be equivalent to imprisonment tor life. !
This is now the nineteenth day since the ab- ! and^ood'lare! 1
duclion was made.
Mayor Stokley, when spoken to on the sub
ject, stated maty arrests hid been made.
Men have come here from a long distance say- !
ing that they knew where there was a horse
and wagon answering the printed description, j
but upon investigation he could find
NOTHING IN IT.
A case which may or may not be similar
to these mentioned, is reported in a despatch :
which a gentleman in this city has received j
relative to the Ross abduction case :
Bel Ant, Md., July 18. |
A child, supposed to be Charley Ross, pans- ;
ed through here last night. The detectives ■
are twenty-four hours behind.
Bel Air is twenty-two miles northeast from j
Baltimore. Nothing Las been said iu regard
to the dispatch iu police circles. No farther !
information on the subject has been obtained, j

whether there is really an organized band in
this city engaged iu such a business, a note
received by Mr. Harry Brown, of 2230 Water-j

To the Editors of the Herald:
Commencement at Emory is over. Crowds
were in attendance. The weather was favor
able; the sermon, the orations, tbe addresses,
the debate, the wpeeches, and all the exer
cises ot Commencement were of a very high
order, and gave eminent satisfaction. The
Jieport of Bishop Pierce, President of tho
Board of Trustees, shows that two fine and
commodious buildings for recitation rooms
have been recently erected ; and a third, to be
used as the daily chapel, is now being pushed
forward to completion.
We learn that, at a meeting of the Presid
ing Elders of the North Georgia and South
Georgia Conferences, presided over by Bishop
Pierce, it was unanimously resolved by the
Presiding Elders to raise, within the next
year, thirty thousand dollars to found a Pro
fessorship, to be called the “Bishop Pierce
Prolee-orship.”

Ross. There has been a case reported where
a lady, while walking along the street but a
short distance with her son, aged about four
years, was approached three different times
by parties who thought that probably the boy
might be Charley lto.-s, and they wanted to
assure themselves of the fact.
Another case has come under our notice of
a small boy who was on a visit with bis pa
rents from Washington to the family of a
prominent pnblic official in this city. When
the little fellow stood at tne door a large crowd
congregated around, and it was fully half un
hour before tbe gentleman could get the cu
rious lookers-on away from his pavement.
Numerous theories are advanced on
EVERY PHASE OF THE CASK,
the most important of which is, of course, as
to the whereabouts of the child. The route
was in a southeasterly direction from Adams
and Washington lanes to Palmer and Rich
mond streets. It crosses or leads to four in
tersecting railroads -the New York Central
road, the North Pennsylvania, the Philadel
phia and Trenton, and the Camd-.m aud Am
boy, the latter being easily reached by ferry
boat fiorn Richmond across tbe rivor. Every
possible route has been gone over by the po
lice. but without finding any trail of the lost
one. All the expedients known to the police
have be-n tried, and all have thus far failed.
Here arises the question
IS THE CHILD IH THE OITY ?
How lie could have been taken out without
being noticed would be difficult just now to t * vo
state. A thorough search has been made and
no tidings of his whereabouts hare been given.
If he is not in the city, he is not so far from
it bat what he can be brought here in a few
hoars, an will be Hcen from an interview a re
porter of the Press has obtained with Mr.
Ross, and which is below given. It is thonght

John B. Gordon, BeDj. H. Hill and David tion was done for no other purpose than to
Wills, appointed by His Excellency, James M.
Smith, under a resolution of the General As
sembly, appointed March 25th, 1874, was pre-
sented by Rev. Dr. Clark and Gen. J. B. Gor
don. to tie Board of Trustees. After some
discussion, the plan was approved, provided
certain modifications to be made in it, to
which the Commissioners absented. It will
next be laid before the Board of Trustees of
the University. This will be done at the ap
proaching Commencement, at Athens.
We are gratified not only to announce the
action of Emory, touching this great and no
ble scheme, bat to announce that tbe plan
has been endorsed and recommended by a
majority of tbe Board of Trustees of Ogle
thorpe University. Indeed.it has been signed
and aDproved by every member of the Board
of Tros tees of Oglethorpe, to whom the Com-
minhioners up to this time, have been able to
present it
We are greatly gratified to learn that at the
late meeting of the Board of Trustees of Emo
ry College the honorary degree of L. L D.,
wus conferred on the Rev. J. O- A. Clark,
the chairman of tbe above important Com
mittee. This high honor was richly deserved
dy this eminent scholar and divine and will
command the warmest aprobation of the pub-
lead tho detectives off th ir track. The kid
nappers have certainly proved themselves well
acquainted with the business they undertook,
even if they did make a mistake in stealing
the child of a man who was not able to pay
them the ransom they ask.
THE ANONYMOUS LETTER.
Mr. Ross, at the Central 8t itiou yesterday
afternoon, while engaged in conversation on
the subject, stated to a reporter of The Press
that he had no doubt but what the child was
well cated for, but that the suspense was bard
to bear. The thieves in one of their nuony-
meus letters to bim had said: “We will act
in good faith with you, and we do not expect
yon to act falsely with us. If you do, the
consequences will be on yonr own head. We
do this to show you that we will act in good
faith with you, that others may know that we
keep onr word. Mr. Ross further stated that
in their letters they had acknowledged that
they had taken the wrong child—if they had
known what his circumstances really were,
they neveriwould have taken his son, but
some other person's child. The conversation
then turned on the manner that the negotia
tion could be effected without the kidnappers
being detected. Mr. Ross said that they
would expect bim to place implicit confidence
in them, and pay tbe ransom of $20,000 first.
The Girls in the University of Lon
don. — At tbe adjudication of prizes at Univer
sity College, Loudon, the first prize in juris
prudence was awarded to a young lady who
•ars ago, at tne same college, achieved
like a success in political economy. Thu sec
ond place in the samu class was attained by
another lady 7 . Another obtained honors in
political economy, and prizes were gained by
three, and certificates by several, in the fmo
arts classes. That woman should prove
themselves equal to mou in drawing and
paiuting is, perhaps, less remarkable than
their success iu sterner studies ; but it is
noteworthy in these days, when fresh consid
eration is being given to the question of fe
male education. The experiment of mixed
classes has us yet been only very partially
tried at University College, and its extcniion
through the whole ot the art schools would
involve none of the peculiar difficulties that
have been incident to the attempt to teach
medicine to ladies in Edinburgh. The Sen
ate of tho University of Loudon is soon to
consider the recent vote of convoo atiou in
favor of admitting women, ou the same con
ditions as men, to its degree examinations. —
If a woman, computing at college with men,
can take priz ;s iu political economy and ju
risprudence, it is hard that she should not be
allowed the chance ot obtaining u degruo m
urts or laws.—JjOiulon Athenaeum.
Joseph Howard, Jr., the editor of the New
York btar, says that he believes that Beecher
is as pure as any woman that ever lived. He
has said to a reporter of the Brooklyn Argus:
“Mrs. Tilton has been before the examining
committee. Her statement entirely vindica
ted Mr. Beecher, and I am told her remarks
caused many present to shed tears. She is a
delicate* sensitive lady, with whom Mr. Beech
er has been acquainted for the pant twenty-
eight years. Her misfortune was to marry
Theodors Tiifon."
