ANoE COMPANY, ATLANTA DEPARTMENT.
To the People ofSouth Carolina:
The above Company was organized In 1855, in
consequence of the Wholesale forfeiture OF Southern
policies by Northern companies. The unparalleled
success Of the enterprise has forced several of these
companies to restore their Sout ern policies, from
the fact that they could not operate In our midst
without the appearance Of honesty.
We keep all our money at home to build up our
impoverished country-every dollar of premium
being safely invested In the state from which is de-
rived. The institution ispurely Southern, and hence
should appeal with great force to the patriotism and
and sympathy Of every Southern heart
-ris not our purpose 70 mako on other COM
panIes, but to exhibit the special advantages offered
by this purely Southern Company-founded on
patriotism and solid wealth. It's ratio Of assets to
habilihes-the true test Of company's Strengths
second to none on this continent, being nearly $500
to 500.
Whenever and wherever we have presented the
claims Of this Company, 1t has not only enlisted the
sympahes of our people, but has also secured their
hearty cooperation. We have secured 600 policies
in South CaroliHS since the 10th Of February. We
number among our Directors General Wade Hsmp-
ton and Colonel Wm. Johnston, gentlemen well
known to every citizen OF South Carolina. We ap-

Mr. Aib'rt-D. RichardsO n Shotby
Danicl Mcfarland.

A few minutes after o'clock Thursday
evening last, Albert D. Richardson, the
well known newspaper;s r;scorrespondent, was
shot by Daa.el Mcfarland. This IL I he sec
ond time that Mr.. Richardson has been
wounded by The same person. The first as
sault occurred one night in Amity street, in
the spring Of 1867, as he was escorting to
her home Mrs. Mcfarland, then an actress
at the. Winter Garden Theatre, after her du-
ties on the STAGE The second attack, as
above referred to, took place last night in
disqualification office of the TRIBUNE. In
the interim between these events Mrs. Nc
Fsrland had taken measures for divorce
from her husband, and had recently obtain
ed Fit. at. the sbands Of some Indiana Court.
While bis wife had been about this business
Mr.. Mcfarland had been nursing his wrath
against the supposed author Of his domestic
unhappiness, and meeting bim Thursday
night, deliberately attempted to take his
life. The first wound was mere Il sh
stroke in the thigh, of which Richardson
soon recovered. Tho last is more serious
matter, the ball entering the stomach, and
INJECTING injuries which are likely TO eni
fatally, As Richardson grimly remarked,
smack has evidently improved as u marks
man."
The cause Of the quarrel between Mr..
Richardson and Mr.. Mcfarland is Yariously
stated by the friends Of the parties. Per-
years, speak Of him as man much sinned
against. On the other band Mr.. Richard
sons friends justify him, and set down Nc
Fariand Ms nerer-do-well, who made h is
wiie's life intolerable by bis passionate
outbursts, till finally compelled Der 10 leave
him.

Tho cts.iu.thc Vanderbilt
Erie war.
From the N. y, Ersniny Cbmmonwsau

From the n. J, Ersniny Commonwealth
The publc..have often been obliged to
disapprove of certain doines Of 1.-THE Erie
people, as Messrs. Fisk aud Gould are
popularity called. There ia one movement,
however, that these gentleman are making,
in which they will have the beet wishes Of
the majority Of the public. Commodore
Vanderbilt last years tried to get possession
Of the Erie Railroad, rs he had already
done of the Hudson River and the New
York Central. Had be succeeded. he would
have become the monopolst of every ave-
nue. from The West to this part. All traGc
would have to pay toll 10 him. and that
healthfrl composition which is so essential
TO The public good would have been at an
end. Mr.. Vanderbilt, conscious Of his inan-
cial stren2th. set to work to buy up all the
stock that he conld get, and spent several
millions Of dollars In this effort. The Erie
Company, claiming that. they bhad legal
power, issued large amount of new stock.
The Commodore, finding that his purse was
not long enough TO bny tho new stock as
well ae the old, gave up the attempt, and
everai,sn!ts.. were at once brought against
the Erie Company, and the disgracefu!
scandals Of this litigation are fresh in the
memories of our readers. II il remarkable.
| however. that although Commodore Van
derbi.s name was not seen in any Of these
suits, still the Company paid four millions
OF dollars. to him, and the suits were all
compromised or withdrawn.
Now all of this WAS done by the old
Board of Directors of the Erie road. The
present board repuGiated this bargain, and
bring o suit to recover tho Company's
money. The Commodore was in court on
Saturday, and his examination amounts
substantially to this: that he sold at 50.
so, goo shares OF the Erie stock he bought
last year; that the stock was sold TO Daniel
Drew, and not to The Erie Railroad Com
pany, and that he engaged to sell $4,000
shares more at le same price, if required
to do 80, within twelve months; that in
consideration of these stipulations he re-
ceived' 3,500.00O in cash, and $500, 900
worth of bonds Of the Boston, Hartford and
Erie Company. The whole case turns on
two points: first, whether the transaction
is one which tho Erie Board were legally
competent to perform, and secondly, wheth-
er II competent the Erie Company did act
ually complete The negotiation, or whether
it was done by Daniel Drew in the personal
individual character. This case is not to
be tried before a jury, the motion for that
purpose having been refused last week.

The fearful gale which swept over the
lakes on Tuesday night and Wednesday OF
last week was the heaviest since.t memo r
able storm of 1874. The coast of the whole
chain of lakes is wreck strewn. The Buf-
falo Express says the lesson of this terrible
storm lie, most rmphatically, that iron is
the proper material for the construction oi
lake craft. Staunch wooden vessels, built
of the toughest oak, went to pieces upon
reefs which would have merely in,lented, or
at least broken q compartment Of the iron
propellers. The Express says of the nu-
nerous smaller crafts which were wrecked,
there was scarcely one which would not
have had fair chance of surviving the
gale had 1t been properly built Of iron wi h
water tight compartments. In the British
islands iron has almost entirely superced-
ed wood as ship building material. If iron
vessels are the best for open sea, the late
storm has emphasized the fact that they are
still more SO for the sw arming inland COM
merce Of the lakes.
