Anyone having an item of personal mention or news happening, will confer a favor by handing it te one of Th Capitol staff, each of whom wears a silver sac simile of the above signet. Second Edition. Grant’s Park is a charming place. Atlanta’s principal residence street with their thick foliage are very pretty now. Bucxshot has been put in the gun for the punster who said Hammond is My—hat. The Nashville base ball club will hardly play the season through, from present indications. Hon. N. J. Hammond has returned from Washington and will address the citizens of Atlanta to-morrow night at the opera house. Notices of the meeting appear elsewhere in The Capitol. A large crowd will doubtless turn out to hear him. The Capitol is in receipt of a notice announ cing the inauguration of cheap rates and low ' fares on the East Tennessee, Virginia & Geor gia railway. Tickets on this road good for a trip from Atlanta to Indian Springs and return can be had for only one dollar on Saturdays and Sundays. Tbe clever and wide awake passen ger agent, Mr. J. J. Griffin, announces that his road is “always for the people,” and he means just what he says. Another County Heard From. Houston county acted yesterday and gave Gordon 300 majority. This makes the General’s total number of votes 224 out of 318 “Broken Up.” Parties seeing the smash-up of our buggy on Monday afternoon will confer a favor by giving us some information.

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. SURPRISE STORE.

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. Arv. Big Coak Syndicate. Associated Press to Capitol, Knoxville, Tenn., July 16.—Mr.E. R. Chap man, representing a New York syndicate and local capitalist, vesterday purchased the con trolling stock in“.l coal lands now operated at Poplar and Coal creeks, in upper East Tenn.

Neuvo Leon, and also from Texas. Governor Cuellar is at Victoria, the capital of the State. He will probably be called on by the federal government, to put down the rebellion, and in that case martial law will be delared.” 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.
