■ OKBrHIXO FSOH ATLANTA.
Atlanta seems busier every time ono
sees It. Strike at 4 a. m., and the great
city is just awakening from its last nap,
even at that early hour, is turning over
to its little bed and getting ready for the
ruBhot the day. When light, with its
rosy fingers throws back the onrtaini of
the night, the universal free for all, befit
two in tbroo race commences after the
vagrant nickle as well as the ancestral
•dollar as tho atakeB. It is related that
change pas3es so rapidly from hand
io hand in Atlanta, that it has
grown to be a characteristic for
the eagles on the silver from thereto be
all bald, snatched into that nnfortnnate
condition by the average enterprising
oitisin.
Everybody is working early, even
George Sasseen, the depot aooident poll,
oy “Bivrn,” who has been granted im
mortality in the pages of Harper’s Maga
zine, was trying to effect a sale on a timid
pasieDger, when the breakman shouted
Macon.at the east end of the Maoon train.
The city shows oonstant signs of im
provement. The mnsio of the trowel is
never nnheatd, and the Gato City wears
s mere and more city-liko appearance.
The Custom House, one of the finest
pnblio buildings in the Sontb, rises in
splendid proportions just opposite the
Capitol, rapidly approaching completion
In the matter of private residences, the
style of arohitectnre has assumed a more
substantial, and yet ornamental nature,
8 nd brick ie all the fashion, for there is
fashion in architcotnre there as well
as anything else, for new residences.
Ono of the most truly beautiful and
elaborate etrnctnres, however, is the new
First Presbyterian Chnrcb, on Marietta
street We doubt whether its exact coun
terpart is to be found in the Bsnth. The
exterior is handsome, but the interior is
more so. The doors are wide, move
noiselessly, and are mode of walnut heav
ily ornamented. The auditorium Is
nearly equate, tho oeats arranged in am
phitheatre style. The aitleB converge
to tho pulpit, the first seats being nearly
ton feet above the front row. Back of
the pulpit, about on a level with the rear
pews, Bit tho ohotr facing the congrega
tion. The wal'B are frescoed in the very
highest style of the art, in colors sub-
fined and chaste. The ceiling is orna
mented with the same style of art, in a
very magnifioent manner, while above
tbe'main entrance is tha picture of "the
Goo'd Shepherd.” The Church is of the
very latest and most improved style, and
its beauties can only be appreciated by
being seen. On Sunday night the pnlpit
wsb filled by Dr. J. H. Martin, who de-
iivered an interesting discourse.
Atlanta is following in the footsteps of
Savanoab, and soon the opera house, it
is rumored, will reeound with an ama
teur Pinafore, a la Ford's troupe. Heav-
mnforefend tho olty!
Mrs. Oates is the dramatic attrac
tion at DeliiveV. The little eotress has
faded greatly, and the Atlanta engage'
ment was not proving a very great
euccees.
AT THK CAPITAL ALL SKEWED
serene as a May morning. In the ante
room of tho Governor’s office several
gentlemen were waiting fer interviews.
The tread of the legislator was unheard,
and even the Supreme Oonrt room wsb
voiceless, Monday being tho day npon
which the Judges make up their de
cisions.
In tho State School Commissioner's of
fice we were shown quite a number of
bell-punch registers. Tho old original
Moffett arrangement was on exhibition,
and is simply gas meter dials operated
by a orank instead o! the passage of tho
gaB, a cam arrangement on the shaft of
the crank driving back a o It to whioh
is attaohed a spring. When the cam is
revolved the belt is palled into its former
position by tbo spring and in this way
and strikes a little bell.
The best arrangement, however, is the
Clsrk register. It is so oonstraofed that
it cannot bs opened, making it impossible
for the frandulently-minded barkeeper to
turn tho wheels pack and thereby lessen
his amount of tax. It registers as high
as one million drinks, and tuen com
mences over at tho nnits. ready to soore
tho second million. Dr. Orr has s adied
the subject very closely, and Is earnestly
in favor of registers in this State,
notwithstanding tho Legislature thought
differently.
TBS HOTELS.
At the Kimball we fell into the hands
of those most genial gentlemen, Messrs
Callaway & Wyley.
After Ed Calloway had smiled ono of
those engaging smiles, eo natural and yet
so bland, and whispered his welcome,
Wyley remarked that there was no cirons
in tho city, bnt that they cow had a
Governor, three Snprerne Court Judges,
one or two Senators and Congressmen,
Marcellos Thornton and several other
notables and a man by tho
oounter obiraed in with "and two May
ors.”
The’,Kimball is being run in elegant
style by the present proprietors, and tho
clerks above mentioned oinnot be excell
ed.
Messrs. Hoff and Brown at the Mark
ham ue also conducting a fine house and
drawing a good patronage.
Bat time, with relentless flight, puts a
period to our visit and these notes, an!
leaving the bury city with its Govern
ors, Senators and duplicated Mayors,
ita spires faded from view.
Along the route to Macon, for forty
®ilea below Atlanta, the fielde are still
quite white with the “top crop” an^ the
gatherers buey everywhere. Below
that point the snowy staple baa vanished,
either because the crop has been shorter
ortho planters more industrious. Farther
down the road the fields wear tho russet
brown of autumn. In the woodland the
leaf has forsaken its parent tree, and the
tree itself stands oheerless in the cold,
without its cummer children.

London November 24—Newspapers
ot opposite political views agree that ar-
rcets of Demit, Killen and Daly, Ireland,

tention of standing by its first editorial.
Laying aside all other points m the dis
cussion, it seems to us that a man of the
age and standing of Mr. Stephens, and
possessed of the intelleot which even his
enemies conoede is unsupassed, deserves
a certain amount of respect which onr
contemporary has failed to render him.
"Ta ta Alec,” may be perfeot slang, bnt
it is an insnlt when need as a farewell to
Mr. Stephens.
The final disposition of the $300,000,
the snm for which tho Atlantio and Gnlf
railroad was sold on the 4th instant, has
been the subject of general speculation,
as there are so many olaimB npon ihe
amount. We learn from the Savannah
AYicr, of Wednesday, however, tbat an
other claimant has put in an appearance,
whose claim, if allowed, will absorb near
ly the entire amount
This claim is on tbe part of tbe United
States, and iB for the sum of $224,992,
for taxes arising under the Internal Bsv-
nua law, being ten per cent, of $2 249,-
920 ot the notes used by the road for cir
culation tor the years 1874-5-6.
Judge Woods allowed the o’aim to be
filed on Tuesday, and the matter has
gone to Colonel Bnfns E. Lester, Speoinl
Master in Chancery, for his considera
tion and report. The report will be look-
od forward to with mneb interest.
Gainesville Eagle: We learn that on
Sunday night last Mr. William Armonr,
an old and respectable citizen w&o resid
ed in the upper part of this county, com
muted suioide by banging himself. We
have been unable to get the details of
tho sad affair, bnt oonld only get tbe
following facts: It seamB that on
Sunday night Mr. Armour retired
abont the usual hour and in his usual
health as far as tha tho family knew.
That sometime in the night he got out of
bed, pat on his shoes and went ont of
the bonse. After he bad been gone
(onetime, Mrs. Armour beoeming unea
sy awoke the family and instituted search,
which was continued until his body was
fonnd a iitils distanoe from tbe house,
suspended to the limb of a naaoh tree by
a trace ohain. When found life was ex
tinct. Mr. Armour was about sixty-five
years old, was reared and had always
lived in the neighborhood where he died,
and was a man of good oharaoter and a
substantial citizen.
Block in Cotton.—Enquirer Sun: For
some days our co'ton men have been
much exercised over the "block" of tbe
staple at the Southwestern depot. The
shippers are nnable to get the cotton off,
whioh places the buyers and themselves
in anything but a pleasant position. The
ootton yard is crowded, notwithstanding.
the faot that extra trains are sent ont
daily. A "block” occurs, so say tbe rail
road men, every season, but car recollec
tion is that there was no oifficulty of the
kind last season when wo had a compe
ting line to northern and eastern mar
kets.
On the yard yesfetdiy afternoon were
abont 2,000 bales ot ootton. About four
freight trains go ont on the Sontbwestern
railroad daily, oarrying about two hun
dred and twenty bales of cotton each, or
over two thousand bales per day, The
tronblois the road has not a sufficient
□umber of osrs. At Troy there is over a
thousand bales awaiting shipment, aud
about the same number at Montgomery.
At a station within twenty-five miles of
the city there are eleven bales of ootton,
which have been in the depot conelgned
to partiea in Columbus. Ie seems very
strange, to us that the .Central railroad
will not remedy this evil by sending
more oars to this point.
This is .the way the Thomarrille lime$
responds, to tin aff eotionate request:
A Mr. O. Lum Smith, of Philadelphia,

Athens Banner t About half.paBt eleven
o’clock yesterday morning the alarm of
fire was sounded through the streets, and
on tracing it twits source it was found
that the kitohenon the premises ocoupied
by Dr. H. H. Carlton had caught fire
from the stove and was rapidly burning,
and threatening to involve tbe dwelling
in ite destruction. But the fire compa
nies were promptly ont, and by their ex
ertion tbe fiamee were prevented from
doing more then destroying the kitohen,
with most of its contents. The colored
fire company wae the first at the spot,
and waa followed hard by. the Babcook
engiae, wbiob, with its fine pair of blacks,
driven by John Moore; made good time.
It wss very fortunate that the fire occur*
ed in tbe day time. Had it been at night
the dwelling would certainly have gone
with the kitchen. The buildings were
both insured, thekiioben for $500. To
tho timely arrival and manly exertion of
tbo.fire companies is due the preservation
of the handsome dwelling.

remarks that if the Demooratio party is
ready to oome out of the wilderness in
which it has been straying for the past
twenty years and take np ita neglected
principles once more, it oannot do better
than nominate Mr. Bayard. Bnt it need
not carry him tbe nomination with any
notion tnat it as doing him a favor. He
will do it a great favor if he accepts its
nomination, for his acceptance will be
evidence to the country that the party ie
once more striving to become worthy of

up its mind to live clean and return to
Democratic principles,
The Senator is a manly, straightfor

The financial experts warn the people
that tho flaw of European gold to this
country is abont done. Ahe gold supply
both to France and Eogland, is getting
too short, and balances will hereafter be
settled in American stocks, of whioh a
great abundance is held across the aea.
As to grid, Eogland baa now abippod
abont fourteen million pounds sterling,
and can spare no more. The bank will
therefor" raise intereit rates to a point
whioh will check all farther movements,
end throw stocks into the market. It is
not easy for people without money to see
how these things oonoern them, bnt ulti
mately they reaoh the poorest sewing
woman and laborer, and, In fact, reach
them far more greivionsly than they do t
the capitalists, for they diminish th» [
supplies to the meal barrel.
There is, however, but one idea afl:at
mong American capitalists, and that is
the pressing importance of applying all
these aooumnlatione of foreign gold at
onoe to retiring as many greenbacks as l
will redeem, aird bo decking in America
the rage for stock speculations and the

Tbe Penalties ot an Unautbor-
izad Insurance Agent.
A late aot of the Legislature requires
any ioanranoe company not organized in
the State to deposit in the hands of the
Comptroller-General the sum of $25,000
as a guaranty that the oitisens ot the
commonwealth shall not bs swindled by
its operations.
Those agents, therefore, of companies
not organised or incorporated nnder the
laws of Georgia, who shall undertake to
utter polioies, receive fees or settle fire
risks, asks their representatives liable
to heavy penalties. These are summed
np as follows: They shall be made to pay
a snm equal to the State, connty and
municipal taxes and lictmss required
of insnrance companies not organized in
the State, and every agent guilty of the
deed shall be held personally liable fo-
each taxer. In addition, theee accessor
ries are liable to a fine nnder the code,of
one thousand dollars, imprisonment for
six months, or to work in„tbe chain gang
for twelve months.;
This Aot is designed for the proteetion
alike of the insurer and insured. Some
difference of opinion exists as to the jus
tice of the Aot, as it praoUeally rules
ont foreign companies, and it is olaimed
tends to enhanoe the price of inanrano'.
We believe the increased Beourity to tbe
ineared, however, will outweigh tbe dis
advantages in the premises. At all
events, the law must and will be enforced.
We print it in fall as follows:

A Toncbing Lyric.
We have been favored by the author, Mr.
Bhaler Hillyer, of Onthhert, a eon ot Bar. B,
a. Hillyer, D. D., with a poem of twenty,
fonratanzi*, entitled •‘Lao’s Last Becrnit.”
Aside from some defeots, wbiob, howev
er, are of little importance, wa regard these
verses as among the bsst relating t > the war
that have been produced, and it Is impossi
ble to retd thorn withont emotion.
Tha plot is as follows: A yonng and
gallant soldier who had lost an a~m at “Mal
vern Hill,” towards the close of the war
hears hat at length General Lee, pressed by
superior numbers, is falling back, and his
trmy fast melting away. Instantly he re-
Ives ones more to go to th9 front and join
Army again. Without panting even for
! midday meal, he emhraees his young
wife, imprints a kiss npon the cheek of ‘lit
tie rascal Jim,’ bis darliog boy, and presses
onward. After j onrnoying night and day he
draws near Lee’s lines, and enconnters three
ptrolled Confederates, who inform him of
the surrender of tho great Chieftain. The
preoeeding has been deftly told to verse, bnt
from its length oannot be reprodooed. Now,
however, let the yonng hero tell the remain
der of his story:
At length, abont the time the sun had oi imb
ed half way the skies,
Jim, looking far before him, saw, with some
thing of surprise,
Three men slow coming down the road, and
who, as he eonld see.
Were clad In tattered anlsa of grey, that told
they’d been with Lee.
He kept hie eyes fixed on these three, and
when they nearer came,
He aaw tbat they were wetk and wan, and
one of them was lame;
That they were silent, spiritless their eyes,
and that their tread
Was bnc the life'eas step of those whose ev
ery h' pels fled.
“Hello! my men,” oried Jim, on meeting,
“seems to me that yon
Are going in the wrong direotion for good
men and tine.
Pm on my way to jine Lee’s boys, to help
’em all I sen;
From what Tve heard, they need the help of
all tins hearted men.
“Bat what good news d’ye bring to-day,
you’re from the front, £ see?”
“Good news—the Front,” repeated one, the
foremost of the three:
And there was grief in his low tone, and
wonder on his brow—
“Good news will oome to na no more, and
there is no Front now;
Lea has tnrrendered—’”
“That's a lie,” oried Jim,
With Ups turned pals:
“Ob! no, it jos’esat os—ya can't impoaa on
me yer tale
Of Lea's surrender; rather will I b’liers tbat
years three
Dee driers from ids lines, and (bat this tale
ye're told to me
Te have between yon planned that it might
pass yon on the w*y.”
At these tell words the faees of the three
turned ashy gray.
And in their eyes, no longer dull, there flash
ed an angry light,

A Fine Tbibute to a Devoted Sbb-
vant or God.—The JteligiouM World
contains an interesting communication
from a member of Dr. Warren’s forme
oharga in Btcbmond, from which ifc af
fords na pleasure to extract this pertinent
paragraph:
He leaves the church fall, strong,
united, active. The Lord has given him
anocess in Richmond, and the church
which he leaves deelare that they “will
part from him with sorrow, and he will
bear to his new field their undivided love,
and also their prayers for his greater use
fulness.” The saintly Payton advised a
brother minister, "Paint Jesus Christ
npon your canvas, aid then hold Himnp
to tho people; but so hold Him that not
oven your little finger oan ba seen.” If
onr late beloved pastor had been eo ad
vised, he con'd scarcely more fally bava
followed the oonnst 1, for he literally hid
himself behind the cross.
The congregation ot the First Baptist
ohurch on last Sabbath was very large.
Bev. A. '•#. Ohsby having been called
elsewhet." -o fill a Presbyterial appoint
ment, many of his people were present.
Dr. Warren preaohed from the text:
"He, (Jeans,) went about doing good.”
It was one of those plain, apposite dis
courses, ths embodiment of piety and
simplicity whioh a child of tender years
might appropriate and take borne with
him. And this is tbe secret of this worthy
pastor’s snoseap. Ths day waa fine, and
6 is to be hopsd that all of God’s sanctu
aries were filled with worshippers.
The New York politicians have now
on foot a scheme of State Democratic
reooDBtrnction through which the hope
is expressed that they can navigate the
ship through the canvass of 1880 withont
capsizing or shifting cargo. That will
ba a good thing; bnt they should reflect;
that shippers will bs naturally ohary of
a craft which has displayed so many nn-
Bea worthy qualities; and one oan hardly
tell what amount of bond and insnrance
will be demanded for a hotter perform
ance in the fntoro.
The "loss ot oonfldenoa” is a heavy
es. Sometimes the New Yorkers see it
displayed in a ran on their banks whioh
is wholly unmanageable. We roppoee
jaat now they can read some evidenos of
ita effect in politics, in the boasted out
break for Grant in the Sinthern States
When the rats begin to leave a ship, it is

In a safe condition whan half the erew are

off the rooks as soon as yon can, but, after
all, when she hss been got off, and pnt
npfor another voyage under the same
crew, shippers are eoery and risks do sot

York was a frightful experiment on
Demooratio morale and confidence. Per
