 Judge John D. Horsley and MT. Ap- person have been in Montgomery for the last two days, and left yesterday afternoon on the six o'clock train. They talked very pleasantly previous to leaving in reference to the City Of Montgomery, and the people here They expressed themselves, however, as re- gretting very much that there had been so much delay in reaching an agree ment with the City Council.
