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.

M4o It Ituld Mt'tUiitf YtUinI'U 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 Eastward Passage $18,315 36 Westward ” 16,803 25 Total $35,118 61 , Eastward Passengers .13.518 , Westward “ 13,280 • Total 26,798 Cotton to Columbus 14,116 Union Springs 4,705 “ Through 4,919 Total 23,740 i Mails *4,350 00 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: President -Col. Win. M. Wadley. Diroe- : tors R. L. Mott, L. T. Downing, Jno.

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. MISTOOK* MIPKKIOK ((HRT. Court met at the usual hour yesterday morning. Judge Janies Johnson, presid- i ing.

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. MRS. L. I. NORMAN.
