Mr. Adama, the contractor with the City Council to
build Wator Works in Atlanta, lias an address in The
Sum this morning.
It aecma that the old Connell entered into a con
tract with Mr. Adams to construct Water Works on
what is known as the Cornish system. The new
Council, it scorns, have tried to annul the contract
Our people, to a great extent don’t understand the
uature of the difficulty. Mr. Adama proposes to en
lighten them on this matter in the present and sub
sequent papers.
Urn. Lee and ike Water Worke.
Tb yesterday’s Constitution is au article on the ac
ceptance of the •‘situation" by Gen. Lee, in which he
is made to aay ’‘Controversy did no good." This wri
ter fully endorses the sentiment.
In the same paper is an article beaded “A Plea for
the Mechanics *f Atlanta," which, I think, la calcu
lated to atir up controversy, which, for foregoing
reasons, will not be replied to.
The Local is respectfully informed that if be wll*

about can be found, duly executed.

John Knelt,
Junl9dtt) Corner Whitehall aud Hunter Hta.
By an act of the last Legislature provision waa
tad# to build Water-Works In the city of Atlauta.
Commissioners were to be elected and bonds, kuowu
as Water Bonds, not to exceed $500,000. were to be
leaned.
Until the election of such Commlaalonera, the
Mayer and Council of the city of Atlanta were clothed
with all the power under the act. The Mayor and
Council, In pursuance of this power made a contract
for the Cornlah system.
It has beeu asserted that this was not a contract-
We made a proposition, which was. by resolution of
Council accepted, and every one who knows the
Code of Georgia, knows that this is a contract; and
we are informed by the beat legal talent, that
We came here at our own expeuae—brought the best
engineering talent kuowu to the country, and expend-
; and under the law are entitled to have
this contract entered Into, aud curried out lu good
feith.
Aa aoon as as the oontract waa made, jertla* op
posed to all Water-Works, filed a bill to t-njuiu
the city of Atlanta from carrying this co
into effect. Judge Ezaard, aa Mayor, swore •
answer filed by the city, and we refer to hia
tmrt for a history of that contract,
kgaln, the Supreme Court of this State decided that
Injunction did not lie, aud that the City Council
did have the power. Why. we might aak.did this tribu
nal decide that the Mayor aud Council had the power
to make this contract, if there waa no contract? A
child can aee where the thing ateuda. If there wax
no ooutracl made, thau there was no question as to tin
power. It waa because there was a contract, that the
power to make it was brought iuto question.
have been ready to perform the contract;
and every shift has been made to get the city out of
it The Water Commissioners say they have made u
contract. The City Council hav<- already made one.
Now, by what authority do the Commissioners make
this contract, If by the Act only $^oo,uuu lu Water
Bonds can bo Issued, and these have already beeu
contracted for ? Where ia the power of the Commis
sioners to plunge the oity into litigation ?
But they say few is not a contract Well, we w ill
submit that question to the courts, aud let them say;
and If we have not a contract there la time enough
to make a new one. But If <Au is valid, then they
have no power, and the tax payer will resist tin- first
levy of tax to pay interest, aud thus the credit • t the
CWy Bonds be Injured by this proceeding. But i
may be said that our rights are at law for damages.
Bo it ia In part, and that right we will exercise. But
we may have others.
The report of Mr. Murphy on the Cornish system
of Water Works shows Its value and its advantages iu a
successful, continuous and economical supply oi
water, and are facte of public information, world
wide. It has stood the teat and come out victorious
all, and if the people knew what we know—11
water is to be introduced, they would have it and no
other.
I deem it proper to aay that I will try the courts
and hope through them to find out, aud t-aoh justice
and felr dealing all round. The lesaon may be wort-
what it oosta for future transactions to the city. 1
now beg to aay that I have no wish to enter iu r
newspaper discussion of this subject; my only dt-sirt
i, that the tax-payers aud tha public generally may
know all the facta In the case.

The Hoad Must lie Built.
Though the announcement that a meet
ing would be held at DeGivw’s Opera
Houhc laHt night, in the interest of tha
Georgia Western Kailroad, was not made
until yesterday morning, and even then
due publicity waa not given to it, vel
eight o’clock yesterday evening found a
good audience, composed mainly of the
beat citizens of Atlanta, assembled at the
Opera Houae*. This may be regarded as
a good omen that the people’s thoughts
are in the right direction iu this matter,
for if there is anything in the world At
lanta folks won’t do, it is attend a pub
lic meeting. The fact that so many sub
stantial men were out attests the high
estimate in which is held this new rail
road connection.
Among those present wo noticed CoL
Glenn, Mr. Norcross, Alderman Cassin,
El-Governor Brown, Col. Peters and
many others, whom or readers will recog
nize as among our leading citizens.

Dayton. Ohio, Jane 20.—The funeral
of C. L. Vullamligham took place at 2,
m., to-day, and whh largely attended—
fully five thousand strangers being pres
ent. The procession was neajly two miles
long. Rev. E. P. Wright, of the Episco
pal Church, officiated. There was no ex
tempore remarks whatever, it having
been decided, on account of the critical
condition of Mrs. Vallandigham, to post
pone the sermon till a future dav, when
this condition does not exist. The ap
prehensions of her friends are more se
rious. She has not spoken a word to
day, and sits in apparent mute insensi
bility. She was taken to her husband to
take her farewell. At first she seemed
bewildered aud suddenly began scream
ing in a heart-rending manner, and had
to be carried from the room. The Ma
sonic Order burial service was performed
at the grave. Au immense assemblage
stood with uncovered herds over the re
mains of Ohio’s great statesman.
Pittsburg, Juno 20.—An old man
named Thomas Wilson, a farmer, who
who had been to McDonald Station, on
the Pan Handle liailroad, was run over

Louisville, June 20.—Matilda Blnrr,
of Jeffersonville, threw her infant in a
privy vault to hide shame. The Coroner
returned a verdict of murder. The moth

not a bailable affair, it creates consider

The opinion is gathering ground that
the investigations of the Kn-Klux out

A guy girl writes from Loudon:—
“We are waiting to go over to Paris,
aud in the meantime enjoy ourselves
greatly. London is not the Ix>ndon
of three years ago, it is so gay and
bright, so full of foreigners, and there
is so much going on, 1 do not know
but i like it, iu its way, as well as
Paris. Germans, French and Ameri
cans are all around us—letters aud
position take us everywhere. Wi
have theatres und opera and private
jmrlies, and we dine out and ride out.
The English women ride .beautifully
on horse hack, and hundreds of them
go for their ‘-constitutional’’ every
morning iu ilyde Parke uloiig the
Ser(>eiitiiie. W and I, escorted
by , often take our way hither
ward. W was presented at the
last drawing room. She wore pink
crape, and looked lovely. We had
great fun practicing the hacking out
of the royal presence. It is a horri
bly awkward think to do, and hurts
American pride to do it—but, “when
you are in Koine.’”
“The obsequiousness of these peo
ple to rank makes me indignant. It
is, ‘Stand back and let my Lord pass.’
As a general tiling English women
are not handsome, alt hough I have
seen some lieautifnl ones. They have
large feet, and look coarse to Ameri
can eyes, und they cannot talk. Tliev
very seldom say anything original,
seem to read very little, and do very
little thinking for themselves. They
do not talk to men at ail as we do.—
The dowagers look so old-timey.—
They wear such old-fashioned jewels
and such old-fushioned, stiff brocade
silks. They put me in mind of hens
with their chickens, as they sit and
talk to each other, keeping their eyes
all of the time on their daughters,
for there are so many German officers
und French refugees iu sooiety here,
and some of them such handsome
men, that mammas are kept in a state
of perpetual auxiety, fearing some
entanglement. About five o’clock in
the evening evenrbody goes ont for a
drive in Rotton Row. The sight is a
splendid one. Then you see all the
fashionable part of London; and
then the women, elegantly dressed,
lolling in their carriages and attend
ed by their cavaliers, appear at their
best Central Park is nothing to it
The whole drive is lined with pcopl
sitting in chairs, staring at the
thousands of carriages as they pass.
The New York Sun compares Greeley

better to style him a magpie.
