Si TI1E Aaaasi Xteeuag of tk Stackholders Old Board of Directors Re-El ected The President Bmimttlmi&Xi:. The- annual - meeting of the stock holders of the Atlantic. -Tennessee and Ohio, Railroad was held yesterday in StatesrUIe. The stockholders' irain that eft here early In the morning earried a good crowd, and there was a full at tendance at the meeting. The old board of 'directors, consisting of Col. Wm. R.' Myers, Dr. JJ. H. Mc Aden. Dr. M. M. Orrv and Messrs S4 B. Drake, C. ' A. Carleton, J. H. Reed and'E. B. Springs, was unanimously re-elected. President Myers: submitted his report, showing that after many nbsuccesslal efforts to negotiate the exchange of tbe new six per cent thirty year bonds for the old eight per cent gold bonds outstanding, their Tnost sanguine hopes hare been realized, for f which success - they are mainly ladebted to the untiring efforts and financial diplomacy of one of their directors. ' It If mainly through his ex tensive financial acquaintance and in domitable persererance that, they are now enabled to report that all their dlf Acuities have been overcome, all the old debt paid, and their property released from any possible contingency of de preciation in ralue, as the debt of the company la now under control, with an annual Interest to be met of about one third ( of Its income. The confidence heretofore expressed in the ability and good faith of the lessees has been folly realized. The authority given to the directors at the annual meeting on July 7th,' 1881, to Issue four hundred bonds of fire hundred dollars each,bearifig six per centum interest, payable semi-annually, and running for thirty years,has been carried out. The bonds hare been printed, signed by j tbe president and secretary, and certified to by the trus tees. The debt of the company will not reqaire the disposal, of all the bonds authorized to be Issued, and only a lim ited number will be offered for sale, as a portion' of tbe gold bondholders hare agreed to accept them in exchange for their gold bonds. There wiiC therefore. be only one hundred and fifty thousand dollars issued, which'; amount will be quite sufficient to pay off ' the judgment and gold bond debts. The directors hare been largely aided by friends of the company, and regret that a sense of propriety farbids a more lengthy and detailed ' statement of the assistance rendered by them. It is. however, bat proper to say that they hare been placed under ' a lasting debt of gratitude for material help and timely assistance of the individual friends of the company They now hare the judgment debt of ninety-two thousand ' dollars and the sixty-fire thousand dollars gold bonds paid off, cancelled and burned. .The board of directors now feel tbat they can promise the stockholders, within a reasonable time, a diridend of four per centum annually on their stoek. paya ble semi-snnually in April and October. Br w recent decision of tbe SuDreme Court of tbls State.the stock is declared "non-taxable," thus making it relatirely equal in ralue to the best securities in the country. - - President Myers remarked in passing that "the services of Treasurer Gormley cannot be too highly spoken of, and he s entitled to the thanks of the stock holders for many years of faithful aer rice, both as treasurer and superinten dent of the company. We know of no higher encomium than to commend him for f aithf ulloeasjionesty and high est official integrity." Treasurer Gormley stated in his re port that "the rental haa been promptly paid at maturity by the lessees, and the snit in the case of Mr. E. F. Morrison settled by compromise, &2849.05 has been paid on the judgment debtjearing a balance of 63,933 06 still due, which amount, together with the SO5J00O of gold bonds, will be paid at an early date with the proceeds from ; the sale of the new six per cent thirty year bonds. which are now ready to be placed upon the market, and confidence is felt that they will find ready -purchasers at par. Ten can now safsly say to the stock holders that their property Is In abetter financial, condition than ever hereto fore, and also promise them a diridend in the near futures It will not be neces sary to sell the whole amount of new bonds authorized to be issued, as 8150,- 000 will be sufficient to meet all the lia- bllities of the company. ; Ton will then j have an annual expense or, say, 910,000 to.mtetand an annual income of 25000 with which to meet it,"; ' ' i i I - - - The Ticket Trestle CmpU , Neskit Capt. E. O. Nesbit, the conductor im plicated In the ticket trouble, succeeded in giring his bond Wednesday evening and was released . from jail. He was required to giro two bonds in the sum of S750 each, and Mr. W. F. Snider, who signed Mr. Adams bond, signed one of these, and CapU Jesse J. Anderson, an old Air-Line engineer, but who now ran on the Georgia Pacific road, sign ed the other.;.; Jus soon as the news of Capt. Nesbit's arrest reached A Uanta, he receired. several offers from his friends there to go on his bond, and it Is evident he could hare easily given a much, heavier bail than, was required. Capt. Neeblt and Mr.-Adams Willi be tried for embezzlement at the spproac' Ing term of .the Inferior court, which convenes in this city on the third Mon day in next ' Angnst. . Their, arrest is still a matter of street - conversation and it will be many days before the surprise It occasioned win die out. It appears that, the end is not y et," and it is. hinted darkly that other startling developments are soon to come.' 'No body knows what a detective, is. doing until be has done it. - " Capt. G. 8.

' But few of them were selfish enough to stay on the farms and en joy the pleasures of aiding tbe crops to get out of the grass, bat letting their patriotism get the bet ter of tbem, they reluctantly dropped their hoes to come to town to kick up a dost, stand around In the hot sun and exchange fraternal greetings with each other. . They came in fall force and by noon, the streets i were pretty darkly thronged.1 The crowd was very orderly and only three arrests were . made for drunkenness, while one cutting scrape occurred to mar the good order. The chief and only attraction of I tbe day was a reel race, between two running teams picked for the occasion,' Mack Taylor's and Shepperd's. ; The judges were Messrs John Bixby, J B Magill, Pat Phelan, W . S Culpepper, S Lan- decker and Jdlius Ahrens.

About four o'clock In the afternoon. the colored people were considerably excited over a cutting affray that oc curred at Twiltj's gambling den on College street, in which a country dar key named John Walker was probably fatally stabbed by two brothers, George and Cul Griffin, also "from the country. The difficulty grew out of a game of cards aad was all about the munificent sum of ten cents. The two brothers stabbed Walker from behind. One stab made with narrow bladed knife, en tered below Walker's right shoulder blade and cut all the way into the plural canty. The other cut, made with a butcher knife was given under Walker's left shoulder blade and the gash, though not very deep, was so wide that a band could be thrust into , it; Walker lost fully a gallon of blood from the latter wound. The former cut bled internally and is the most dangerous. Dr Wilder who attended Walker, says that the cuts are very serious. The two brothers escaped tothe country, but were cap tured by the colored constable Caldwell and a posse of ten ; colored men, and brought to the ity yesterday and ar raigned before Justice McNincb, who committed them to jail for trial to-day. The wounded man is lying at a house in "the roost," and his condition is critical. Hesse Hade lagraia Carpets. . At the establishment of Messrs.

The car pet is of a beautiful design and "the colors are bright and well brought out. much more so than is the case with Northern made carpets. This marks a new era in the industrial enterprises of this section of the South, and compar ing this carpeting with that made North, the fact is verified that in this line, at least, our Southern factories un doubtedly excel.- The carpet made by this Southern firm.ls not only prettier, but is guaranteed to outlast that made in the Northern mills.

People along the public road from Charlotte to Concord, celebrated the Fourth In killing grass for a few hours in the ' morning, but their celebration was brought to a close early , in the af ternoon, and they spent the balance of the day in their houses with windows down and doors barred, peeping through the keyholes and watching the rain carrying their, farms away., -The rain extended orer , only a . portion of. the road, but where it fell it gave trouble. The public road approaching the bridge over Rocky River, on the Cabarrus side was just utterly annihilated, and where the road should be there' are nothing but great ? big t boulders of rock, with chasms between them deep enough in which to bury a horse and buggy. , The rider who would attempt to go over the place on horseback would do so at the risk of his neck. It is utterly out of the question to go over it in. a buggy. The washout extends' for fifty yards and it beats anything ever seen in this coun try.

The roads hearer u to I Charlotte .were also badly washed, Ih . some places being completely gone, but no where so bad as at Rocky River. The crops in the lowlands ware considerably damaged. Charges for Post Office Keys....-K -,-..; ;: In response to an inquiry, postmaster Jenkins bas received information from Jas H M2b, first assistant postmaster general, that for the'sake of uniformity and to pat a stop to continued com plainfa received by the department, the sum or fifty cents will have to be col lected for each key given out. Post masters at offices not located in govern ment buildings will reqaire -a deposit of fifty cents for each key to lock boxes rented by them, and on the return ofi the keys they will , refund the amount from the postal revenue, taking a re ceipt from the party to whom it is paid Knights of Honor at Haatersrille. A lodge of the Knights of Honor was organized at JpluntersvUIe, a few days since, Jy Rev W P Williams, D Q D, with.- sixteen charter members. The following officers were elected: T r R Hnnlman ' .

M EDr J B Alexander. Aaetker Sargical Oeeratloa. ' Dr. A. C. Post, the New Tork sur geon who performed the operation on Mr. J. M. Roark's leg last Mondsy, yes terday performed another and equally fine operation on the leg of Alfred Pratt, the colored ' man who has for so long a time past been a familiar figure about the Central Hotel bar. ' He had one straight leg an the other was bent in such a manner as to present the figure 4 when one got a side view of him. Dr. Post noticed Alfred going about with the crdoktd leg and offered to straighten it for him free of charge if he would submit .to the operation Mr. Henry Eccles also offered to take care of Alfred and see that he had plenty to eat daring his confinement, and the darkey at length reluctantly consented to undergo the ordeal. Yes terday afternoon. Dr. Post put him under the influence of ether, and aided by several of our resident physicians, cut and straightened the leg. "Albert has been doing well since the operation and will soon be out with a straight leg. - His leg was est - with ' a mowing scythe when he was a chad and it has been crooked ever since. Albert is an honest darkey, polite and obliging in his disposition, and his white friends manifest a good deal of interest in his ease. The Planets La JmlfLr :' - ... . - July is a field day among our celestial nejghbors. The most favorable month for studying the movements of the shining brotherhood that, the earta.Jn- eioded, make np tbe sun s family, is as rich In Incident as any . month in the year. Excepting fax away Neptune and Uranus, every planet in the system is visible daring some portion of the month, and every planet plays. a part n its brilliant record. Visitors at the seashore, among the mountains, and in quiet country homes, will find no more fascinating , occupation than , tbat of tracing the varied paths of these bright wanderers in the ) celestial depths, as they rise and set, come close together. and travel far apart over the celestial highway. Neither, as their eyes are turned upward to the glorious page which nature opens to their admising gaze, can they fail to gain new views of the wondrous-Architect who spangles the sky with shining points and holds i in heavenly harmony each grain of sparkling star-dust each mass of nebu lous haze, and each sun of the myriad host of suns that, pound together by immutable laws, make up the material universe. -The moon fulls on the 10th. and is in' con junction, with Saturn on the 29th. at five o'clock in the morning. The old moon was in. conjunction with Venus and Mercury on . the 2d, being only seventeen minutes south of Mer cury, but the conjunction takes place in J the afternoon, when the sunlight ren ders them invisible, and' when they rise the next morning! the moon will have sped on her eastern course several de grees. On the 9lh, the moon Is at her nearest point to Uranus, on the 23th to Neptune, and on the 29th to Mars. It will be an interesting study to note the rising of the morning stars in July, as they appear one after another on the horizan. ; :lseptunv though ,; 'unseen, leads the quintet. Mars at present comes' next in order, rising about. quartern before two o'clock. Saturn rises at half-past two o'clock.
