Mr. Andrew Boland, from White Hul

He says that tliere quite a number of
visitors there, and many more soon tour

leave In a day or two. The Springs are
being constantly improved.
Kwently a chalybeate spring which was
hOt inelukad hoi been cleaned out and put
In line order, and has proven to possess
waters of rare chalybeate power. There
are several other springs that will soon
bo neatly iixotl up, and the variety of
ciialpbeate water Will be greater than it
is at present. All the water at White Hul
phur Is line.
The hotel is under tin* earn of Mr. J. W.
Kyan, formerly of tho Bankin House, and
he keeps 1t In thr best style. The billiard
room, tin pin alley and bar arc all well ar

from Kingston). The proprietors have

The train from down tho Mobile and Gi
rard inilrbAd yesterday, brought a large
crowd iuto tlie cityv They came from
Troy, and all Intermediate points, to spend
a day iq Columbus and to enjoy a glori
ous free ride. Broad street looked quite
lively yesterday morning.
The visitors spent the day in walking
about over the city. Most of them re
turned yestordfty afternoon. A large
party of negroes came along with the
crowd.
It is very easy to get a train full to go
anywhere when tho inoonvenleuee of live
cents a removed.
Tho amount of trading done by the visi
tor# seetrwHl to bo considerable. Their
coming made the day much more lively
than it otherwise would have been and
caused trade to lift Its drooping head a
little.

This Btaunch Institution well maintains
the position of popularity which has lx*m
won by a long tost of financial security.
It offers Inducements to 1 depositors which
few banks hi tho country can afford, ami
Its management is in the hands of gentle
men in whom thepoople haveaconfldenoe
that is lirinly established afid who have
never done anything to shako it. The
bank at present Is in u line condition. Not
long since it declared a semi-annual divi
dend of live per cent. Its dividends
amount to ten per oent. every year. It
has declared seventeen dividends In all
and has more than paid back the original
stock by theso dividends. It has now on
hand a surplus of #2o*ooo and SIO,OOO undi
vided profits. The lust stock that was
sold brought $132 per share, a sum that is
seldom paid for bank stock.
Tho above figures will give some idea of
what the bank has done and is doing. In
addition to tho security offered by all
national banks Uoommands facilities, ami
possesses securities that make it as safe a
depository as can be found in tho land.
The unusually large dividends it yearly
declares are a sufficient guarantee ns to
the profit of depositors.

THE HOAD TO HK OK LEAKED, IE
DOHHIBLK.
Yesterday the aimuul meeting of the
Mtockholdors of the Mobllo A Girard Ball
rood wuh held in Girard, Ala. The regular
paKwrnger train from Troy in the morning
brought in a large crowd of people, con-
Bistlng of stockholders, their families, and
a host of darkies who came along to enjoy
the free ride.
The meeting of stockholders was not
fold as soon os It was advertised to be.
The train did not leave the Broad Street
depot until about 11 o'clock. The meeting
wiw held in a warehouse belonging to the
railroad, which is situated just over the
river. The attendance of stockholders
was small, and the total number of people
present at tho mooting did not exceed
forty.
Cos 1. Win. M. Wadloy, President, Mr. W.
L. Clark, Superintendent, and Mr. J. M.
Frazor, Treasurer, were present.
On motion of John Peabotly, Esq., Hon.
Martin J. Crawford was called to tin*
Chair. He calk'd the meeting to order,
and after Mr. J. M. Frazer was called to
act a* Seerotary, It was declared ready for
business.
John Peabody, Esq., moved that a com
uiities of three on proxies be appoinbil.
Carried.
The Chair uppoinU'd Messrs. T. J. Nuck
olls, N. P. Banks, and A. M. Brannon.
The total number of shares was an
nounced to 1x312,7iK; necessary to a quo
rum 6,395, The largest stockholders are
the Central Railroad, which owns 4,740
shares; tho city of Columbus, 1,243; and
Mr. J. B. Baird, 2,056. Total amount of
stock represented by these throe is 8,039.
The Central Railroad controls a great deal
more sUx k than the mere nominal amount
—also has*the determination of all ques
tions relating to the road, in Its power.
The committee reported that there was
the necessary amount of stock repr<*sent-*
fc ed, and the meeting proceeded with its
business.
On motion of Judge L. T. Downing, the
reports of the officers, which were printed
in pamphlet form, were distributed and
considered as read and adopted.
PRESIDENT’S REPORT.
Office Mobile and Gikard It. It., >
June 1, 1875. 1
7V> the Stockholder*:
The accompanying reports of the Gen
oral Superintendent ana of the Secretary
and Treasurer leaves but little for the
Board to say In order U> give you a full
understanding of the affairs of tho Com
pany and the operations on your road for
tho past year.
By these reports it will he soon
that tho earnings have been $138,290 30
And the expenses 115,004 42
Leaving set $22,685 88
This result. Is rather better than that of
the previous year, and has been produced
by the most rigid economy together with
some abatement in the competition of oth
er lines. But we are yet called upon to
face an increased indebtedness, and t here
fore the outlook for tho future is far from
encouraging. The Central Railroad and
Banking Company of Georgia has con
tinued to purchase and hold the coupons
of the bonds of this Company as they
have fallen due, and it will lx> seen by the
Treasurer’s report that our obligations to
that Company now amount to $351,843 72
in addition to the. past due bonds of this
Company now held by that Company. An
analysis of the Treasurer’s report will
show the entire debt of the Company to bo
$1,080,408 98. This is an increase of $71,-
449 18 over what it was at the close of the
previous year, and now amounts to $12,-
710 69 i>or mile of road.
It will be seen by the Treasurer’s report
that on the Ist of January next, $50,000 of
the Company's first mortgage bonds will
become due, and on the first of July, 1876,
$217,500 more will fall due. These, with
those that are past due and held by the
(tentval Railroad and Banking Company
of Georgia, constitute the entire issue of
first, mortgage bonds. The question of
how to arrange to meet them as they fall
duo demands your serious consideration,
lu the lace of a constantly increasing in
debtedness the Board cannot suggest any
method short of a sale of the property
mortgaged, unless the Central llailrosid
and Banking Company of Georgia will
agree to take them up, as they have those
which have already become due. If that
Company would agree to such a proposi
tion, it would obviate the expenses at
tending a foreclosure of t he mortgage ami
sale of the property, and it is barely pos
sible, that with more prosperous times,
the Ingnmeof the Company may be suffi
cient to meet the interest and reduce its
indebtedness, if you think such course
desirable, it may bo proper for you to in
struct tho incoming Board to enter Into
negotiations with the Central Railroad
and Banking Copipuny of Georgia with a
view to its purchasing these bonds and
holding them for some stipulated time.
It is unpleasant for the Board to be ob- \
liged to make this discouraging state
ment. but having done all that is possible i
to reduce the expenses, tho stubborn fact
must be stated that the country does not
afford sufficient business to support the
railroads it contains. From close personal
observation the Board oan bear testimony
to all tliat is said by the General Superin
tendent us to the condition of the road,
and it Is confident ly believed that there is
no railroad in Urn country whoso affairs
are more economically administered.
Respectfully submitted,
W. M. Wapley, President.
StTPEIUNTEN DENT S REPCHIT.
The report of Superintendent W. L.
Clark shows the road to be in a generally
good.coudltlon. The motive power, bridges,
rolling stock, rails, and all were In gotxl
order, and needed only slight repairs.
He reported an increase of $5,835 15, in
freight business over that of last year.
There was ft diminution of $3,608 22, in ;
passage, which showed tho poverty of the
country. No road suffered more from
this diminution than the Mobile and Gi
rard. The ratio of expenses for the post
year has boon only $1,360 05 per mile. The
not earnings of $22,685 88, showed a deci
ded improvement over the last report, for
while tho income has only increased $2,-
322 13, expenses have been reduced $16,-
114 12.
All tho officers of the road have dis
cluirged their duties faithfully.
TREASURER’S REPORT.
Mr. J. M. Frazer, Treasurer, made a full
exhibit of tho liabilities and asaflls of the j
road and the financial condition of tho j
road.
The account of Profit and Loss shows a
debt of $116,266 12, against $98,723 41 in
last report.
The report was full and complete, and
gave n very satisfactory idea of the condi
tion of the road.
The following is a recapitulation of tho
earnings of tho road for the year ending
May 31st, 1875:
Eastward ’Freight $49,570 98
Westward “ 49,250 71
Total $98,821 69

After the reports were distributed Dr.
N. P. Banks, of Enon, Ala., offered the fol
owing
RESOLUTION;
Inasmuch os this company is unable to
provide funds for the payment of its bonds
to fall duo January and July, 1876, and for
coupons to fall duo within that time,
Resolved, That we do hereby authorize
tho Board of Directors of tho Mobile and
Girard Railroad to sell or loose tho same
for ninoty-nino years, with all its fran
chises, for a sum not less than the total
indebtedness of the road, upon the condi-1
tion that the purchaser or lohfm** shall
keep tho rood in good order am! conform
to all the regulations of our charter; pro
vided, that inasmuch as they limy not
either sell or loose the road; then
Resolved, That tho Central Railroad lx*
requested to purchase said bonds ami cou
pons, and to hold them for a limited time
under the mortgage, tills company being
still bound for the interest on said bonds
and coupons after their security.
Mayor Mcllhenny opposed a lease for
ninety-nine years. All persons now inter
ested would then be deceased. He favored
a lease for a shorter term, or a sale.
Judge Downing thought the incoming
l/ourd ought to bo clothed with full au
thority to make a disposition of the road.
It was to the interest of the road to get
the Central Railroad to hold up its bonds.
Mr. T. P. F. Throe wits said that the In
debtedness of the road before the exten
sion to Troy was only $215,000. The Cen
tral Railroad had caused this extension
and had been tho moans of the insolvency
of the road. If the road had not been ex
tended it might bo fthle to pay something.
Tho Central Railroad had been no friend
to the Mobile and Girard. All the cotton
from Botina had boon carried around by
Opelika, and not brought through Colum
bus. The (Central Railroad had conferred
no benefit on tho Mobile and Girard. He
opposed a lease for ninety-nine years, and
said that before that time he and his chil
dren and grandchildren and great grand
children would all be dead.
Col. W. M. Wadley said he disliked to
appear os the defender of the Central Rail
road, but lie would state that it had never
done anything concerning tho (Mobile and
Girard Railroad, but at the solicitation of
the latter. It had endorsed the Mobile
and Girard bonds at the earnest solicita
tion of Mr. Mitchell, President of the road.
It did not cause the extension to Troy.
Most of the profit of the road comes from
Troy. The Central Railroad had never
sought to get the Mobile and Girard in its
present condition. It would gladly lx; re
lieved of all its responsibility and connec
tion with it.
l)r. N. P. Banks said that President
Wadley was right. The Mobile and Gi
rard Railroad had incurred liabilities to
the Central, and they ought faithfully to
be discharged. It had been said that leas
ing the road for ninety-nine years would
tx) giving it away. When a man pays his
debts with his property is he giving it
away? If the road were leased for that
term it would come back at last free from
all debt. He knew the road hud petitioned
tho Central again and again for aid. He
preferred to loose or sell the road, rather
than have it closed out by law and sold by
a sheriff.
John Peabody, Esq,, said It was natural
when one hod “broken" to blame some
body. The Central Railroad must eventu
ally get control of the Mobile and Girard,
or some competing road would. He pre
ferred, for the sake of the road, and for the
sake of Columbus, that the Central should
have it. If the efforts to sell or lease the
road failed, then the Central would bo
askod to Lake charge of it. He did not
think the Central Railroad ought tobe
forced to go to law for its rights after they
had extended favors at tho solicitation of
tho road. He hoped that the latter part
of tho resolution would bo passed. This
would please all parties. If the Central
Railroad refuse's to pay coupons, then
they can ask us to sell or lease the road.
President Wadloy stated that t he Central
Railroad had no desire to least' or pur
chase the road, and could not do so with
out an enabling act of the Legislature. He
lmd no objection to the resolutions.
Mayor Mcllhenny disclaimed any inten
tion to reflect on tho Central Railroad. He
still objected to a ninety-nine years’ lease.
Ho had rather tho road would be sold
under the mortgages. The city of Colum
bus had nearly $600,000 in the road, and he
could not consent for such a measure as
the lease proposed. He would be satisfied
if the lease could be made for twenty
years, or for thirteen years, by which time
all the bonds will bo due.
President Wadloy thought there was no
danger of selling the road.
After further discussion, an amendment
| to strike out “ninety-nine years” in the
resolution was offered and carried. Then
the resolution was passed so that the first
part of it should read ns follows:
RESOLUTION VK PASSED.
“Kosolvtxt, ThatWe do hereby authorize
the Board of Directors of the Mobile Y
Girard Railroad t< sell the same, or lease
it. for a period of thirteen years (bv which
time all the bonds will be due), with all its j
franchises, in the event of lease, for u sum '
not less than the interest on the indebted-;
ness; or in the event of sale, for a sum not
less than the entire indebtedness <fthe
road, upon condition that the purchaser
or lessee shall keep t he road in good order
and conform to all tho requisitions of our
charter." .
The remaining parts of the original res
olutions were left unchanged. The reso
lutions us amended wore passed unani
mously.
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS,
j The election of President and Directors
i was next in order.
Mayor Mcllhenny put the old board in
j nomination.
There were 8,749 votes east and they j
were all for the present President and
Board. They remain the same viz:

MOTION FOB NEW TRIAL.
This case, tried by Judge Bartlett, was
called yesterday, when tho counsel for
Cash moved that tho case bo hoard. Gen.
Banning, in behalf of tho State, objected,
on tho ground that the Judge had no juris
diction, but that tho case must l>o heard
before Judge Bartlett, who presided, un
less prevented by Providential cause.
Judge Johnson declined to hoar argu
ment as to ids jurisdiction, as he was clear
upon that point. After some discussion
among counsel as to the brief of evidence,
Judge Johnson decided that he had no
doubt of his power to hear the motion, and
his right to do so, notwithstanding any
opinions he may have expressed in tho
preliminary trial. He further decided that
it was necessary that lie should give the
case direction in order that it might lx;
heard, and said that white he had the
power to bear the motion there was some
thing duo to Judge Bartlett, who tried the
case; and he therefore passed an order
that the motion for anew trial be forward
ed to Judge Bartlett, to lx; heard on Fri
day next at noon, or on any of the three
succeeding days.
Cary Thornton, Esq., one of the counsel
for Cash, objected to tho case being heard *
by Judge Bartlett, and was about to criti
cise the course pursued by Judge Bartlett,
when he was promptly stopjHMl by the
Court.
After making this order, Judge Johnson
said: “I wish it undersbxxl that if anew
trial is granted 1 fool perfectly competent
to try the case; and I have no hesiLation
In saying that anew trial ought to be
granted. This was a compromise verdict.
It was either justifiable homicide or mur
der.” He remarked, further, that eounsel
could inform Judge Bartlett that the State
objected to his (Johnson) hearing the mo
tion, and the defence objected to Judge
Bartlett. With these facts before him ho
could determine whether ho would hear it!
himself or refer it to another Judge.
A motion wjis then made by defendant’s !
counsel for the Judge to asss a bond,
which motion the Court refused.
From a private dispatch received from
Macon we learn that Judge Bartlett will!
lx* in that city on Friday, to hear motions !
in ail of the crises in which he presided, by j
nil parties asking new trials. It may j
be set down as correct that Judge Bartlett i
wifi hear all the motions, Ac.

Yesterday morning a man named Sam- j

who lived about eight miles from Cusseta. j
A warrant was sworn out for his arrest |
and placed in tho hands of Sheriff John |
M. Sapp, who followed the thief to the j
city. lie heard of him a few mites out. j
When ho came into the city ho gave a do-;
scrip tion of tho thief to policeman Joynes. j
Ho was, therefore, on the lookout. He!
saw a suspicious looking man near the;
Bans Soud, and was sure he had his man, I
though lu* had never s<*oii him before.
Policeman Joyn*s followed him to the i
light and arrested him. He admitted j
stealing the watch and gave it up. He 1
was carried to the guard-house for the
night. Though he had a cocked pistol in
his Ix'lt, the thief made no effort to resist
arrest. Policeman Joynes displayed con
siderable tact in tracing up the thief so
well and catching him so neatly.

Jordan's Joyous Julep.
A Specific for Neuralgia.
TESTIMONIALS.
Petebsbuao, Va., Jan. 20th. 1875.
j John L. Jordan, Esq.—Dear Sir: So well pleased
j am I with your Joyous Julep, that I hereby tes
i tify to the’ superior merit of your unequaled
j preparation for Neuralgia. I shSM esteem my
! self happy should even one of that worst of all
j classes of sufferers be led through me to take the
i Julep. My wife has for ten (10) years been a mar.
; tyr to the most malignant and persistent neural
! gic torture, without being able to find any reliel
j except from your preparation. She was relieved
| by the second dose as per directions, and has not
; had a return of it for two months. To some 1
■ may seem strangely sanguine about your medi
cine, but I have a right to Ixj bo. It is not rea
i sonable to suppose this malignant malady would
! have died of sheer exhaustion of capacity for
i BiisUining itself, aud that too in a minute, and
j the very minute your medicine was taken. If so,
! it is a most remarkable, simple coincidence, and
'I prefer giving the credit in your favor of the
best testimony man can ever have—experience,
Vary truly yours,
JAMES T. TOSH.
CoLVMBtrs, January IC, 1875.
Hr.Jordan: —l take great pleasure iu recoin
. mending your Joyous Julep lor neuralgia,
| lias produced a most wonderful relief in one oi
, the severest attacks of neuralgia my daughter
ever has had. 8h has been treated for it b>
three skillful physicians, with very little benefit,
and used all the usual remedies with little sue
j cess. I can with much confidence hope for a per
! mauent cure. It is only two days since wc began
thfcAise of it, aud it is apparently of permaueul
I benefit. Yours, with respect.
