Interesting Lecture,
Our people will be served to-night in
the Opera House with a rich’ intellectual
feast, in the lecture that is to be delivered by
the Hon. Henry W. Hilliard, under the auspices
of the Armstrong Lecture Association. The
subject selected, “ American Statesmanship, as
Illustrated in Clay, Calhoun and Webster,” is
one of rare interest in itself; while the well
known intellectual attainments of the lecturer
are sufficient assurance that it will be discussed
in an interesting and masterly manner. Onr
people should largely attend this lecture, and
thus do honor to one of whose high Christian
character, scholarly attainments and finished
oratory any city might well feel proud.

The Working World, on Hammond..
Did Mr. Hammond remark that a few garden
seeds and public documents would fix his con
stituents in the country all right, and that the
clamor of the working men would not amount
to anything.
The Democratic meeting held Monday night
takes the cake.
Some time ago the Knights ot Labor sent to
Mr. Hammond a petition “that no convict ma
terial be used in constructing the barracks.”
As Mr. Hammond did not give attention to, or
ignored it, inquiry was made about it of Mr.
Outhwaite, M. C., from Ohio, who wrote that he
has never heard of a bill or petition from the
Knights of Labor “in Atlanta” being intro
duced. What is the matter?
Let every farmer and mechanic work for My
natt’s election.
Mr. Hammond —did you speak against Sena
tor Beck’s Bill providing that members of Con
gress should not be counsel for corporations?
DISfItSTING.
On Monday night we went to the court house
expecting to attend a meeting of the Democratic
Executive Committee—intending to co-operate
in electing a new county committee and to
transact other business for the welfare of the
Democratic party. We will not attempt to de
scribe what transpired. It proved to be a
packed meeting with a programme all
cut and fixed up. We have attended
manv caucuses, primaries, conventions,
etc., but never vet has it been our lot t witness
such disgraceful and undemocratic proceedings.
We honestly believe that the time has come
» when every upright, true Democrat should dis
countenance and put d .wn the unprincipled
chicanery resorted to by tbe ring that appears
to have taken control of the Democratic party in
this city and county. We do not hesitate to say
that the" present campaign has developed tbe fact
that unprincipled men have taken the reins into
their bands and that it behooves the best ele
ment to regulate these wirepullers and tricks
ters to the rear. Another snch a campaign will
break up the Democratic party. Mr. Ham
mond’s friends acted unwisely and put in mo
tion a Boomerang that will work to Mr. Ham
mond’s injury.
We consider Mr. Mynatt and his friends were
foullv, and unjustly dealt with: and shall do all
in our power to thwart the machinations of un
principled tricksters.
TELEGRAPHIC
M. E. District Conference.
Special by Telephone.
Decatur, Ga., July 15th, 1886.
Conference of the Atlanta district, of the M.
E. Church South met here to-day, Rev. Dr. H.
H. Parks, Presiding Elder in charge, Rev. H.
Crumley, secretary.
After enrolling the names of the delegates,
the Capitol found that sixteen preachers, rep
resenting double that many churches, were en
rolled, and about one hundred delegates. The
following is a list of the pastors, and will be
read with much interest by many:
Rev. W. F. Glenn, First church.
Rev. J. W. Lee, Trinity.
Rev. H. L. Crumley, West End.
Rev. H. J. Ellis, Evans chapel.
Rev. J. M. Bowdon, Paynes chapel.
Rev. J. M. White, St. Paul.
Rev. H. J. Adams, Edgewood.
Rev. M. H. Dillard, Sixth church.
Rev. T. J. Christian, Grace church.
Rev. J. M. Tumlin, Asbury mission.
Rev. J. B. Johnson, Decatur.
Rev. F. A. Ragsdale, (c), Decatur.
Rev. M. L. Underwood, Lithonia.
Rev. W. F. Roberts, Conyers.
Rev. O. B. Quillian, Morrows Station.
Rev. C. C. Davis, Fulton county mission.
The house as a body certainly does great
credit to the church they represent. The Cap
itol has never seen, perhaps, a finer set of men.
Many are among the very best business men of
the country.
Dr. Parks presides with ease and much intel
ligence. He deals kindly but with great decis
ion.
Rev. H. Crumley, Secretary, and W. H. Dil
lard, Assistant, seem to work with ease. Both
are good readers and rapid penman, well fitted
for the position.
At 11 o’clock the Conference adjourned for
preaching, by Rev. Mr. Ellis, of Evans Chapel,
who held his large and intelligent-audience for
an hour in an eloquent and very interesting ser
mon on the subject of the new birth. Space for
bids even a synopsis.
After the services the writer enjoyed a most
pleasant time socially, and a grand good dinner,
one of the kind that is never forgotten by man,
at tbe beautiful and pleasant home of Mr. and
Mrs. W. F.Pattillo. If there is anything more
than another that the writer is surprised at it
is a man who is able to live in the country, sur
rounded by his Jersey cows, horses, fine gar
dens, vineyards, etc., and still persists in keep
ing his family in the city, surrounded by brick
walls. Mr. Pattillo and his interesting family
are happily situated, the surroundings are most
beautiful.
At 3 o’clock the conference commenced as per
adjournment, and was nothing except routine
work consisting of the pastor’s reports of their
different works.
The trip to Decatur was truly a pleasant one
and the people seem prosperous and happy, and
a man that can’t enjoy a stay in Decatur among
its cfever and intelligent people has no concep
tion of true, first-class Southern society.
Decatur, Jnly 16. Conference met at 9 o’clock.
Praver by Rev. Mr. Ragsdale. Rev. Dr. H. H.
Parks, presiding elder, in the chair. Roll call.
Minutes read and approved.
On motion a committee will be sent out to the
Orphan’s Home near Decatur, and an interesting
report is expected.
A report on the condition of the church was
one of the finest reports ever read in the con
ference as a financial and spiritual work.
The report on Sunday Schools showed them
to be in a flourishing condition in all of the 32
different churches in the conference.
A motion that the next conference be
held at Conyers was made and carried
against West End, Edgewood and Decatur.
The pastor, Rev. J. P. Johnston, made a very
strong plea for the ladies of Decatur for the
conference again another year.
It shows that Decatur is willing to hold all
the conferences.
Report of committee on church literature
made a report filled with sound judgment and
good advice, was recommitted.
Conference adjourned at 11 o’clock for regu
lar service. Preaching by the Rev. Mr. Adams.
This sermon was replete with good things, but
a brief synopsis worthy of the sermon or man is
hardly possible.

Important Legal Opinion on the E.
T. V. and G. Kailroad.
Associated Press to Capitol.
Nashville, July 16.—A special from Knox
ville, Tenn., says: “Judge Jackson in the United
States Circuit Court to-day pronounced the
opinion in one of the suits against the East
Tennesse, Virginia and Georgia Railroad which
was of much interest to the company and tbe
suitors against it. Under a mortgage of 1881
it has been claimed by the
company that the rights of the mortgagees were
superior to those of judgment creditors, for per
sonal damages, as well as those of other credit
ors, and that no satisfaction of such judgments
could be had therefor until after the mortgage
had been fully discharged. His Honor held that
while at common law, a mortgage would take
precedence of all other claims, yet under special
special statutes of Tennessee, which
he held ( to be valid judgements
for services rendered or for personal injuries
have priority over the mortgage. He also sta
ted that on such cases, upon proper motion, he
would direct a sufficiency of purchase money
under the mortgage, to-be withheld for the sat
isfaction ofjudgments. Claims affected by this
decision amount to two or three hundred thou
sand dollars, though embraced in a consider i
ble number of suits.
Senate.
Associated Press to Capitol.
Washington, July-16.—The House bill, in
creasing the pension of John Ryan, and the
Senate bill, granting a pension to James Noyes,
were taken up and passed. The latter being
described by Mr. Cockrell as a mere act of
charity to tbe colored preacher, who had only
served a little while in the Louisiaua Native
Guards; but Mr. Blair said the man had also
served in a colored regiment and in the Vet
eran Brigade.
