The Atlanta Examiner tells the following
story of his passage through that place:
"A gentleman named Noble reached our city
on Monday evening last and complained to our
city police that he had been robbed of $25OO on
the cars, and also pointed out two men whom
he suspicioned of the robbery. Our vigilant
officers repaired Immediately to the hotel, aud
but for the opportune interference of the Mayor
would have had them safely lodged in the cali
boose. He fortunately discovered that one of
the gentlemen was Col. Jeff. Davis, Secretary
of the United States Treasury, in time 10 save
him the modification of an arrest. The affair
excited considerable merriment, and the Secre-
tary laughed as heartily as the rest at what liked
to have proven an awkward bIunder."

Will it be said that because one is foreigner,

their wants, determine the amount and character
