Richmond (Va.) fed and cared for her

at 13 cents per capita, it will cost the city,
under this plan, to care for and feed the
thirty inmates $1,423 50, less than the
above by $766 50. If the above prop
osition should be made by the Medi
cal College, and accepted by the General
Council, they will of course adopt such
measures as will secure prompt and effi
cient services for the poor. It contem
plates the furnishing by the city of food

THK <tl ».srn>> OF A. <■<>> VF.N CIO.V.
It will be seen by reference to another
column that the House on yesterday
passed a bill ordering a Constitutional
Convention for the State of Georgia; the
said Convention to be held during the
year 1877.
We shall not discuss the question this
morning further than to say that the vote
as recorded in the amended bill which
passed on yesterday does not represent
the trne feeling on the subject of a Conven
tion. The manner in which that vote was
obtainei is as follows. The first bill offer
ed on this question, proposed lo call a
Convention in next March, without sub
mitting the question to the people. It
was deemed advisable by the friends of
the bill to amend it so as to have the ques
tion left to the people, and let them decide
whether or not the Convention should be
held; nrovided that it should be held, if at
all, this year. On this basis the bill went
to debate. It was soon found that there
was such opposition to having a Conven
tion during the present year, that Gen.
Lawton offered an amendment providing
for the calling of a Convention in 1877.
This compromise was accepted by most of
the opponents of a Convention, such as
Livingston, Harrison, Adams, and. others,
and having carried the amendment, thus
voted for the bill.
I They would also propose to classify the
diseases, and assign the patients to special
wards, and have it the special duty of each
member of the faculty to attend to one
ward. The out-door poor would also be
attended to by the faculty under this plan.
As the medicines will be furnished by the
city, there is no reason why the poor can
not have a sufficiency of good drugs, and
it would be administered by some of the
best medical talent of the city.
We are not authorized to make this as a
distinct proposition in all its details, or
even as a whole, by the Medical College,
but we have understood that it is probable
such an arrangement could be effected.
Inquiries made by the special committee
of Council indicate the general outline of
such a proposition as being in contempla
tion, and we think we have given a fair
estimate of the expense involved. This
special committee will move with caution
and with no undue haste. Every plan
will be carefully weighed, and do lavish or
unnecessary expense will be recommend
ed. The chairmau of that committee, Mr
Richardson, desires us to say that
we did not precisely convey his
idea, in our remarks on the sub
ject. He is in favor of a complete
and extensive hospital, involving a much
larger outlay than here indicated in the ab
stract, but not in favorof recommending or
nrgnig anything of the kind at present.
He was only filling out his idea of what
such an institution ought to be; at present
he favors any system that would be effect
ive with the greatest economy
The Committee is not prepared to make
any recommendation as yet, but are coy
ering the whole ground in their investi
gations. Ascertaining that the two plans
thus outlined were the ones now before
them, we have obtained the best informa
tion at hand to lay them before our read
ers. All are agreed that a hospital is a
necessity and that Atlanta must have one.
On the supposition that the Medical
College shall make a proposition such as
indicated, we append a review of the cost
to the city in each case. The basis for
thirty patients having been giyen, we give
in this resume only those of forty, twenty
and ten patients on the average:
An average of 40 patients at 2 c each per day
under Collect- proposition will cost per
«EMRRA1. COMtl’ITT.
The Atlanta Hibald, which is, by the
way, or.e of the most entertaining as well
as one of the soundest papers which comes
to this office, copies a list of papers com
menting upon the various candidates for
Governor, and quotes from the Brunswick
Appeal an article highly commendatory
of General Colquitt in this connection.
AVe do not think a word too much was
spoken in his praise or can be. It seems
to us that the reasons for his being our
next Governor grow and strengthen with
every passing event. The complications
in the State Treasury furnish to our mind
a strong argument in his favor. He is old
fashioned in hiB notions about the admin
istration of government, and believes in
everybody being held to a strict account
ability who has anything to do with han
dling public money, and the old Jackso
nian doctrine that the officers of the Gov
ernment are the servants of the people
and directly responsible to them, is a fun
damental article in his political creed.
Such a man is now needed as Governor of
Georgia. We need a return to first prin
ciples. We want a plain, straight-forward,
honest, old-fashioned administration.
Just such a man as General Colquitt is the
man for Governor in these times. He has
got no fancy notions or new fangled ideas.
He believes in honesty, simplicity anJ
economy in public and private business.
Under him, in [our judgment, the State
would come nearer returning to the safe
and wholesome rules of our fathers in “the
brave old days ot yore” than under any
other man in Georgia.—Oglethorpe Echo.
THE HOMPITAI.
A deriaite effort towards having a city
City Hospital is steadily shaping itself and
daily gaining ground. The course taken
by the Herald in this matter has met
with the approval of all classes of citizens
•nd they are willing to endorse it by put
ting iU suggestions into practical execu
tion.
In a recent issue it was stated that a
proposition had been made by the Ladies’
Benevolent Home. This proposition
covers V calculation of cost as follows:

TUB ATLANTA COTTON FACTORY—ITS
prospects and ith effect*.
At last tnere is no doubt that the proph-
ecies of the croakers—the ill-omened birds
that perch above the door of every new
enterprise—will come to naught, as for as
the cotton factory is concerned. The old
est inhabitant of Atlanta—and the man
who laid the first brick to the first chim
ney ever erected in this goodly city, is
still living—can scarcely remember the
time when Atlanta was not actively as
piring cotton factorywards. It has been
estimated by an able computer, that,
the various boards of directors who have
served in this direction for the last forty
years, had devoted the time they have
given to making resolutions and construct
ing “whereases,” to laying brick and nail
ing shingles, they would have built a
dozen factories with their own hands by
this time. And yet up to the present day,
all their work has gone for naught,
while they have never until now built one
factory on solid ground.
We are informed by a director of the
factory, that arrangements have been
made for the machinery for 20,000 spin
dles, the whole of which is to be delivered
by August. The factory buildings are pro
gressing satisfactorily, and there is now no
reason to doubt that we shall have hun
dreds of operatives at work before the
middle of next October. We are inform
ed that the subscribers are paying up
much more rapidly now tbaD ever hereto
fore, much of which is due to the splendid
address of the President, published in the
Herald some weeks since. The election
of Mr. Jas. R. Wylie—one of the best of
Atlanta's good men—to a directorship, ha--
also helped the cause, and the whole en
terprise is just now gliding along on lubri
cated wheels.
In this connection, we cannot forbear
paying a deserved compliment to Mr. Kim
ball, the President of the Factory. While
the Board of Directors have worked man
fully in the good cause, and have done
their duty nobly, the main work of the en
terprise lias fallen upon Mr. Kimball, and
corresponding credit is due him. The
truth is, Mr. Kimball’s course since he re-
retuined to Georgia, has been such as
eveiy fair-minded man must commend.
It was predicted when he reached Georgia,
that he came full of diabolical plots and pur
poses. He has been credited with all sorts
of schemes, and the Herald, which had the
courage to bespeak for him a fair hearing,
was accused by sundries tuppenny news
papers of being hand in glove with him in
the attempt to rob the State of Georgia.
One of those patent barking machines,
which is so unfortunate as to be published
under a responsible imprint, will have a
chance at the March term of court to prove
what it knows about these things. Bat
Mr. Kimball has been here now about
three years. He has been watched with
rutry, Wallack’s will be among the break
ers, like Hie unfortunate Park, which is
now Closed "for rehearsals”—and salaries.
MISS ASXA DICKINSON
Presented herself (by her agent) at the
Fifth A voune theatre yesterday; but in
stead of coming to arrange for the rehear
sal fot^ber promised debut in February,
she banded in a doctor’s certificate per
emptorily ordering her to take a rest for
six months on account of cerebral exhaus
tion—I should think so! An amicable ar
rangement was effected with Mr. Daly,
whom the success of “Pique” has made
quite independent of “stars” and Anna,
and so Miss Dickinson goes off to Cuba at
once instead of appearing at the Fifth Ave
nue. But her engagemeat is only post
poned, and Mr. Duly holds her like a trump
card in reserve. She has expended over
$10,000 upon costumes for her debut. I
hope shedoesn’t intend to put on all this
style at once, for two new plays a season
would ruin our actresses at this rate.
And that reminds me that
MISS MAUDE GRAINGER,
the New Tork actress who spends the most
money upuu her clothes—at present her
only claim to distinction—has been en
gaged by Arthur Clieenv for the Globe
theatre, Boston, and goes off to be made
an artiste, if mat be possible. And that
reminds me that
MISS EFFIK GERMAN
has thrown up a six years’ engagement at
Wallack’s because she was left out of the
new comedy. Any Western manager in
wantof the best soubrette in America may
write to Miss German. She is the legiti
mate successor of Mary Gannon.
MISS ROSE EYTINGF
lias commenoed. On yesterday Messrs
Clark Howell, J. C. Kimball, and their as
sociates moved iu the .Senate for a charter,
under which to build another factory.
They intend to go to work at once. The
ball is opened. Lubricate the fiddler,
loosen the joints of the bass drum man,
and let the music flow on. We are happy

better, are arguing that beverage should

DOLL DBBSSMAKING.
I saw in a window the other day a new
dodge in the way of doll dressing. A
pretly flaxen-haired wax doll was arrayed
in full mournimr—a widow’s cap inside
her crape hat and a crape veil shrouding
her tiny figure. Pinned upon her dress
was a crisp $100 note, with a card stating,
“This lovely young widow aud her fort une
for sale at the ridiculous price of $300.” It
was a cunning device, and beyond her was
a love of a bride with her dowry in her
pocket—an unknown quantity. I suppose

A QUESTION SETTLED.
This disgusting weather lias prevented
my seeing much of interest lately, but one
of the few incidents of the week has been
the settling of a question I was pretty sure
I was answering correctly. A drive r on a
Sixth avenue car is watched lor daily by a
midget of a child thinly clad, but clean,
and the wee toad stands, rain or shine, at
just such an hour, with a tin pail of sup
per for her father, who is always on the
look-out. The baby makes Us way through
the street, leaving sometimes another
still smaller on the sidewalk; the
father stoops for his pail aud instantly
kisses the little face. There has been
something so delicate in this man’s exhi
bition of affection that 1 was not surprised
to meet little Midgit with a very lady-like
woman inoneoi the public markets near
by. Some words spoken showed how
far removed she was from common
people among whom car-drivers and their
wives are found. Her little child is one
of four and her eldest only six years.
The woman was educated at one of our
seminaries, and the husband is likewise
an educated man. But at teaching ne
could earn barely nothing, and the con
finement would have killed him. So he
has taken a position as car-driver, and the
wife says every instant of her time is occu
pied keepiug their humble home tidy and
the four babies decent. But then there
are so many so much worse off that she is
satisfied as long as they are all healthy,
The pride of the eldes’t's heart is taking

FIRST AS TO THE WEATHER.
New York, January 19.—The fog here
is the genuine London article. An ol«I
British citizen said this morning, “ ’(Ju
do you find yourself this lieliegant soft
day?” It is very difficult to tell, as the
fog is so thick we can hardly find our
selves. Such beautiful weather for neu
ralgia and pneumonia ! Doctors’ gigs are
Hying and pat en 1 * are multiplying every
hour. Time was when I have stood and
read doctors’ signs on Thirty-fourth street
with much amazement; that highly med-
cated street has four physicians to the
square foot, according to my computation.
The oldest inhabitant has been heard
lrom, and he terms it the mildest form of
winter he ever experienced, and the phi
lanthropist says its good f r the poor,
fhere I beg to differ and assert it is much
better to freeze stiff as a poker and be
thawed out, than linger in a muckv gir-
ret with diptheria and no doctor, and fin
ally be tucked into a muddy hole up iu
Pottersfield.
TWO EMINENT FEMALES.
Despite the fug, I made the perilous
journey to Brooklyn this w eek, ami saw on
the ferry-boat, something that told a very
straight-forward story to the intelligent on
looker. bitting bolt-upright as il she had
fed on starch the past forty years, stern
and implacable, there was Emma, the rib
of Henry Ward Beecher; and who should
come in j ust as the boat started but Mrs.
Tilton. Mrs. T. has a deprecating fashion
of sidling along, looking askance at every
body with her little bead eyes. That she
saw the white-faced grenadier was evident
in an instant, as she flushed up and drop
ped in an embarrassed way into a vacant
seat. Mrs. Beecher turned her rabbit face
towards her with a freezing expression, but
gave no sign of recognition. I looked over
my neighbor’s arm on his paper, which
was the Sun, and read the heading of a
column.
“the WORST OF THE BEECHER FAMILY.”
And naturally began to speculate which
one claimed the distinction. 1 know ’em
all. There’s Mrs. Perkins up in Hartford.
She’s dv all odds the w orst looking. Then
if one wants to see a prig of pretension he
should view Thomas K., who has nothing
literally to recommend him save his con
nection with the great Henry. But, oh
the conceit of that man. I rode from New
York to Elmira in the some car with him;
and allowing him to tell it, he was the
author of every doctrinal point that lias
been discussed since Martin Luther. The
Evangelists were a worthy sort of men,
and the Apostles not unworthy of remark,
but with the Beechers came salvation.
So Tommy is the worst—for thorough
egotism.
The elocutionary fiend of the family is
another Hartford branch—the woman’s
righter, “ Bella,”—Mrs. Hooker. Taken
in the evening, at a meeting, she is the one
you’ll find it hardest to forgive.
Then there’s cook-book Catherine (more
Hartford)—the Minerva of the tribe. Un
like her brother Tom, she doesn’t claim to
have written the New Testament, hut sev
eral work’s vastly superior—(“price 75
cents—a quarter less than the publisher's
prices—to be had at the door as you pass
out”). For stiffness and hardness the
spinster Catherine is the worst of the
Beechers. And Mrs. Stowe, for a keen
eye to the main chance, w hips the party.
The Sun tells us, however, that the
worst of the Beechers is the “cousin Wil
liam, a bland, genial, winning man, who
seemed so much of tiie world and soniucb
ol the church at the same time, that it is
thought he must have suggested the wag’s
division of humanity iuto three classes,
namely : The saints, sinners, and Beech
ers.” Any way, it’s a nice family to pick
worsts out of. The other day, I saw an
oysterman sorting the bivalves. He called
it (licking “bests, a proceeding,according
to the Sun, impossible in this case.
MR. A. OAKEY HALL
Celebrated his retnrn to the bar on Mon
day, by delivering a neat speech in the
case of Taylor vs. Dunlap, involving the
question as to who is our commissioner of
jurors. William M. Evarts was counsel
on the side opposed to Hall. The worst
• if it is that if Hall wins, all the jury cases
tried during the past three months will lie
declared illegal and all the convictions can
celed. Nevertheless, Mr. Hall teemed to
me to have the best of the argument; but
the papers gave very meagre reports
Those who suppose that Mr. Hall has
relinquished all idea of connecting himself
with theatricals do not understand t he
fascination of the profession. It is proba
ble that the author of “ Crucible” will soon
make his d -but as a manager, several of
our wealthiest gentlemen, including Com
modore Garrison, having offered to put up
the money and the building. Mr. Hall
may not be a good actor, but that is no rea
son why he should not manage a theatre
well. Au contraire, as the French sav, lor
when did a good actor ever manage a thea
tre decently? There are only exceptions
enough to prove the rule.
LENTKB WALLACE
Is not one of the exceptions. During tho
r t few,years this theatre, once the first
the country, ha* been going down,
until only himself, Mr. John Gilbert, Miss
Ada Dyas and Madame Pari«si are lett to
Divorced After Thirty Tw»n»’ I nioit.
From the Ban Francisco Chronicle.
Ijast week Ju<lK e Wheeler rendered a
decree of divorce in the action of Mary
P\ercy vs. John C. Piercv. This couple,
who are both well advanced in years, and
who have resided in Francisco since 1849,
have frequently been before the courts
with their domestic infelicities. A nliort
time since the male Piercy commenced an
action in the Nineteenth District Court
praying to have the marriage between him
and Mrs. Piercy declared void from thebe-
ginning, on the ground that she had an
other husband living at the time she
contracted marriage with him in 1844. The
complaints in this action was sworn toby
him as true. Mrs. Piercy absolutely denied
the truth of the statements, asserted that,
on the contrary, her tirst husband was
dead for at least two years before her mar
riage with Piercy, and that Piercy was
well acquainted with the fact at the time
he married her. Subsequently Bhe com
menced the above action in the same court
to obtain a divorce, alleging that she and
the defendant, Piercy, were and had been
for over thirty years husband and wife,
having been legally married in 1844, and
that more than two v^ars prior to the com
mencement of the action he had, without
any just cause, deserted and abandoned
her. In his answer to this complaint Piercy
admitted the validity of the marriage be
tween them, thus flatly contradicting the
aliegitions made and sworn to by him in
the other suit. Her allegations were found
by the court to be true, and a decree was
rendered granting her a divorce, thereby
severing the knot that had so long bound
them in conjugal unhappiness.
Bismarck’s Letters.—London Times’
Paris correspondence: Since the last war,
people have seized with a perfect rage on
everything connected with Prince Bis
marck. Nowhere has there been more
eagerness displayed as to his present and
past life, his tastes, habits, likings and an
tipathies. A little while ago *M. Antonin
Proust, who writes the articles on foreign
politics in the Republique Francaise, pub
liahed a series of feuiUetons on Prince Bis
rnarck, consisting of letters written by the
Pxince at different periods, and comments
on his life, tendencies, inclinations, and
habits.^ These articles were so successful
that men who detest the politics ot the
R-publique Francaise bought it, cut off the
feuilleions, and perused them with impa-
patient curiosity. They had such a run
