Get tbe Atlanta News Dally.
Parties leaving the city for summer resorts
should send their address to Thb Capitol office,
48 S. Broad street, and have Thb Capitol mail
ed them each evening for the special price of 25
cents a month. •
The morning Constitution gave the
name of C. S. Atwood as among the prom
inent citizens and members of the Liberal
Club present at the meeting last night at
Concordia hall.
The Capitol desires to state that Mr.
Atwood attended the meeting last night
in the capacity of journalist, and while
this article is not intended to con
vey any impression as to whether he was
in sympathy with the movement or not,
because as acting reporter at the time he
felt that he had no right to an opinion,
yet owing to the circumstances and his
duty as an editor he feels that it is proper
to state his exact connection with the
meeting.
Os course he appreciates the distin
guished-honor of being recorded among
the few names given of prominent citizens
present, when indeed there were hun
dreds more whose names were not given ;
but the reporter of the Constitution, Mr.
E. C. Bruffey, should have quoted his
own name as well as Mr. Atwood’s, if he
wished to count in the newspaper men,
who were there for work and work alone.
As regards the meeting, Mr. Atwood de
sires through The Capitol to say that it
was a representative one, composed of lev
el-headed, solid citizens, who even if wrong
in their judgment, as some might affirm,
are nevertheless honest in their convic
tions and movements, and among whom
had he gone there to participate he would
not feel ashamed to be counted.
The Capitol itself is even not yet ready
to express itself about the association.
Deeply Appreciated.
' The Birmingham Evening Chronicle has the
following kind word to say of The Capitol,
which is deeply appreciated:
“ The Chronicle has added to its exchange list
The Evening Capitol, of Atlanta, one of the
brightest and best papers that comes to our ta
ble. Mr. Chas. S. Atwood is the able editor.
Tbe city department is under the management
of Mr. Gordon N. Hurtel, and those of our read
ers who have been charmed with his writings
will readily concede that in this feature The
Capitol cannot be surpassed. Long life to our
contemporary, and while its printed pages fly in
the breeze every evening, like the white ban
ners of the god of day as it sinks to rest, may
its own sun never set nor its shadow lengthen.”
J. J. D. has put on his smoking cap, and will
tackle Aru on the market-house question early
next week;
The Working World says: “The charges for
licenses, clerk’s fees, fl.fas., etc., are excessive.
A liberal policy toward all manufacturers, mer
chants and mechanics will promote the business
interests of Atlanta.
W. F. Taylor, of Live Oak, Fla., is lying
critically ill at tbe residence of Mrs. Charles
Gause, 58 Luckie, and there is very little hope
of his recovery. He is worshipful master of
the Masonic Lodge at Live Oak.
Mb. J. C. Scott, formerly of the bank sample
rooms, has rented rooms opposite the Lanier
House, in Macon, and will fit up elegant rooms.
Mr. Scott is a perfect gentleman and a desira
ble acquisition to the commercial circles of any
city.
A merchant, who was once in sympathy with
the prohibitionists, and is now a “conservative,”
said to a Capitol reporter this morning that
the liberals and conservatives were organizing
to get the fanatics out of the city offices, and
put in men who will be fair and just in the ad
ministration of tbe prohibition laws.
Although it may seem premature, Thb Cap
itol notes that for the United States Judgeship
several citizens have been prominently men
tioned—among them Col. Mynait, Judge Hill
yer, Col. Broyles and others. Either gentleman
mentioned would wear the judicial ermine with
honor and distinction.
We met Hon. Joel Chandler Harris, “Uncle
Remus,” on the streets, and was amazed at bis
aesthetic appearance. Really since he has been
spectorating in that $20,000 peachblow vase that
he converted into a spittoon, he has grown to be
as aesthetic as he is handsome.
The Working World says:
“Why should our policemen be kept on duty
twelve hours without relief? This is altogether
too long. The men are not allowed to sit down
or rest when on duty, and eight hours is long
enough for as continuous service as theirs. Let
there be a change. The Chief and other officers
should remember they enjoy rest in the station
houses when the policemen cannot.
“We hope the Police Commissioners will at
tend to this.”
TELEGRAPHIC
CONGRESSIONAL.
House.
Washington, D. C., July 31.—The Heuse, as
the regular order of business, resumed the con
sideration of the conference report upon the
river and^harbor bill, and the accompanying ex
planatory statement was read.
Mr. Hatch, rising to a point of order, sent to
to the Clerk’s desk and had read the instruc
tions given the Conference Committee by the
House relative to the Hennepin, Sturgeon Bay,
Potomac Flats, and other clause of the river
and harbor appropriation bill. The point
he made was that the report of the conference
committee was in violation of every single in
struction given by the House, and therefore was
not in order, and should not be received. If
this report was received no confidence could
hereafter be placed in a conference committee.
Since the first day of the first session of the
first Congress, no such record had ever been
made by a conference committee. It stood
alone without a single precedent. It had no
precedent and he wished it would never have an
imitation. He held that the Hou’se conference
were bound in honor by the instructions of the
House and could not exceed those instructions.
Pleasure Party Drowned.
Associated Press to Capitol.
Highlands, N. J., July 31.—Intelligence is

Hook during a storm last evening. Six ladies

supposed to be in the cabin of the yacht. Nine
were found clinging to the rigging after she
was captized, and were rescued by a tug.

ATLANTA, GEORGIA. SATURDAY EVENING. JULY 31, 1886.
THE COWHIDING CASE.
Recarder Anderson Dismisses the
Case Against M. C. Galluchat.
This morning M. C. Galluchat was tried in
the Recorder’s court, for cowhiding C. Millican,
on Monday last. Judge Anderson dismissed
the case on the ground that if Galluchat was
guilty of anything it was an assault and bat
tery, and he was already held by the State
courts for that offense.
Galluchat in making bis statement told of
how Millican had circulated reports injuring his
good name and character and reflecting on those
whom he loved. His recital was pathetic and
brought tears to the eyes of many who heard it.
Judge Anderson said be would not impose a
fine, as he wished the case to go to a jury un
prejudiced.

Other articles appear that I do not advertise,
