The Atlanta (Ga.) Herald claims
some credit for its war on Governor
Brown in his management of the State
load. 1t says:
In the first place, Mr. MacRae was
unanimously sustained by the lcssees.
III spite Of the attacks made on him by
Governor Brown after the interccDteI
letter was read.
Secondly. Mr.. MacRae was not ONLY
sustained, but his powers were en-
Urged, and his authority STRENGTHENED.
In the exercise of this authority, hn
dismissed some of the leading officers
OF the Brown regime as soon as the
lessees had acted.
Thirdly. The committee sustained
Mr. Scofield, and decided that the iron
OF the road should lie purchased from
INN, as long as he furnished good
IRON; TINS protecting him against any
personal attacks, and insuring that his
mill shall be retained in Atlanta and
supported here.
Fourthly. While we cannot claim it
absolutely as an effect of our action in
the matter, yet it is Il significant fact
that Mr.. Witztielder, formerly Gov
ernor Browns partner,) purchasing
agent OF tie Road in New York, has,
resigned his place.
The New York Hcr4M estimates
trrt the amount of actual cash brought
INTO this country by immigrants aver
ages one hundred dollars to every i'm
and values every immigrant
iS laborcr at one thousand dollars,
it esti mat es the increase
OF material wealth from the immigra-
ton of last week at the sum of seven
teen millions of dollars.
The use of dogs for the traction of
vehicles used by hucksters is a notable
feature of traffic in Berlin. Bakers
and grocers' wagons, milk carts, fruit
and soda water stalls, furniture cars
and lighter vehicles of all desc riptions
are drawn by two or three dogs har-
messed like horses, or by single dog
by the side of won an or
boy. The number of dog cats are
registered among tile licensed con-
Yeyances of Berlin is 2,1s6.
