[Regular Corresp. Constitutionalist.]
Atlanta, September 21.
The suicide of Capt. H. L. French
last Saturday was a most melancholy
affair. Here we have a man over fifty
years of age taking his own life, “all
for love.” I fain would speak of his
foibles now that he is gone—rather let
his faults be buried with him; but
strip the affair of that sympathy that
goes out unhesitatingly from our hearts
and view it in the light of a moral, and
the bare facts stand forth like grinning
skeletons pointing the finger of scorn
and shame to his lowly resting place.
The woman who was the indirect cause
of the trouble is the sufferer. When
the light went out of his life all
her hope went out with it. If he
had lived and married her next day as
he promised, then the world would
have been hidden to his great fault
auu her great wrong. That promise
was her Mecca. It was the beacon
light that beckoned heron through life,
and when, in a fatal moment, that light
went suddenly out she was lost—lost
in a fathomless sea, no rudder to guide
her, no beacon to throw its cheering
light in her way, no haven in which to
rest. She is an outcast—shunned by
those who should love and comfort hel
now in her hour of distress, and spurn
ed by a world, one half of which is per
haps as erring as herself. Poor woman !
From out of the depths of my heart I
pity her, and although she has sinned,
that sin was committed in the full, hap
py, beaming light of a glorious, blissful
promise to marry her.
The Capture of Morris.
Major General Joe Morris, the boss
insurrectionist, now stretches his mili
taire legs in Fulton county jail. Where
he has been nest-hiding all this time is
curious. The grand tycoon arrived
here Wednesday and took quarters in
,and about Farrow's office, no doubt
cherishing the idea that under the
broad wings of government officials his
highness was safe from the foul touch
of the myrmidons of the law. Detec
tive Ed Murphy had an eye on him all
the while and watched his manoeuvres
with lynx eyes. Yesterday he caught
him, and with the assistance of the
sheriff lodged him in jail. The Major
General will now have a trial, and if he
gets his desserts will hang—bedad.
Keno.
In a previous letter I mentioned that
a great deal of gambling was nightly
carried on here. I can take you any
night to eight faro banks in full blast,
and up to Saturday night could have
squeezed you into a keno room. The
Dutchman’s description of the little
game was never more fully exemplified
than on that night. He said it was
“ von leedle game mit cards vot you
put buddons i,on, und ven der veller
spokes ‘ keno,’ all der udder vellers sav
• oh, hell!’ ”
The room is on Whitehall street, near
the railroad crossing, and is entered by
a dark passage way up a flight of steps.
On Saturday night one of the players
was a little too full, and, in making a
disturbance, was put out of the room.
He immediately “ peached ” and the
officers began to raid on the den. The
colored brother whose duty it was to
give warning in case of police intrusion,
was off seeing a man, and hence the
officers marched boldly in, nabbed the
party and registered their names at
the station-house. Among them were
the bloods of the town—young men
who were never known by their moth
ers and sweethearts to do anything
wrong. The bosskenoist is Coley Beav
ers, and he will slide around the pe
riphery of a lengthened period in jail.
Ilis partner, Yankee Jim Lloyd, will
also slide.
This room has been in trim some
time, but has eScaped the vigilance of
our Metropolitan Police. The revolv
ing barrel has a number of admirers
in Atlanta, and the pro[ rietors were on
the high road to fortune when the raid
interrupted them.
That Consolidation.
I may have been a little too definite
in my allusion to the consolidation of
the two papers here ; but I still persist
in the statement that negotiations were
being made. I have more reason to be
lieve now—in fact I have proof—that
t he subject has been discussed by mem
bers of the two firms, but cannot say
with what result. I never send you an
item without having at least some
proof of its truth, begging pardon of
the Constitution’s editor for knowing to
the contrary.
The Military.
Some time ago the Atlanta battalion
was ordered out on drill. The Fulton
Blues and Georgia Zouaves refused to
respond to the call, and this refusal
has almost culminated in breaking up
the battalion. Rumors are thick that
n court martial will be held, and the
captains of the two obstreperous com
panies tried. The matter has been
laid on the shelf all this time for the
reason that Major Fitten and Adjutant
Douglass were absent from the city.
On their return the vexed question
sprang up again, and must be decided.
It is thought that the Zouaves will dis
band and give up their arms to the
Lochrane Guards, anew company. It
is also thought that the Major, Adju
tant and two of the Captains will send
in their commissions in case a court
martial is not held, on the ground that
it is useless for them to hold them if
they have no redress when their or
ders are disobeyed. A few days will
determine the matter.
In General.
Only one hundred and forty bales of
cotton were received here by rail and
wagon on Saturday last. The buyers
of the staple don’t seem to do a very
astonishing business now-a-days.
The new hotel, the Markham House,
is going up rapidly. It will have,
among other latest improvements, an
electric bell call. Now, couldn’t Bob
Toombs enjoy that luxury? He could
telegraph for “One more bottle, Bill,”
all night long.
There are fifty-five exclusively whole
sale dealers in Atlanta, twenty-six of
whom are grocers.
California fruit is now being brought
into the city, and the corner fruit stands
look enticing. The luscious Bartlett
pear is without a peer in the world.
Martha.
An association for the protection of gen
tlemen traveling in railway carriages has
been formed in London. The circular di
lates on the frequency of extortion practic
ed by females in railway carriages, and
quotes a number of cases which have trans
pired in law courts where the intimidation
has been resisted. Among others, the Duke
o' Wellington is spoken of as having been
victimized. The association hopes to havo
an inlluenc3 through its mere existence in
giving men who are threatened determina
tion to resist extortion and retaliate on the
assailant.
A schoolboy says that when his teacher
undertakes to “show him what is what/

Kitson’s Patent Compound Opener Lapper.
———i) —.
THE cotton is spread on this machine from the bale, and is made into a very even
lap, at the rate of 300 to 400 pounds per hour. The laps are then finished on a
TWO-BEATER LAPPER,
WITH
KirSO>S PATENT EVENER
Attahed, and owing to reccent improvements in this Evener, the laps wfien ready for
the card, only varies one quarter of an ounce to the yard. The cost of picking by this
system is only aboutoue mill per pound on the cloth produced, and the picker house is
safer from fire than the card ro mi.
?*There is al- o a great saving of room and power over the old system.
These Machines may be seen at the mills of the Augusta Factory, Langley Manufac
turing Company, and at the best mi is at Loweil, Lawrence, Fall River, Manchester
Lewiston. Providence, Richmond, Baltimore,etc., etc.
The following are a icw among many testimonials whicn we nave received:

Langley, S. 0., Aprii 14, 1873. (
The Kitson Machine Company, Loxell, Mass.:
Gentlemen, f have been running your system of Compound Opener Lapper'. and
Finisher Lappers, witn Eveners, 1 or more tit r* wn vrarsno t the i otton Min of tne
Langley Manufacturing Company, and I have found it to work the most satisfactory of
any opening and picking arrangement I have ever seen, we have not weighed a pound
of cotton upon the picker apron since starting, yet we have had a remarkable regularity
of numbers. The staple is not injured by over beating, and it leaves the picker without
being curled or knitted; the seeding and cleaning is very complete. Over forty per
cent, in labor in this department is saved over the old system. One of the greatest con
siderations with this arrangement is its secur ty against fire.
Yours, &c.. M. F. FOSTER, Superintendent.
