CITY AFFAIRS. The market yesterday was dull At nu- changed prioes from the day previous. No doubt a healthy action will set in in the course of a few days. The London Store, Marietta street, will soon bavo its Fall Stock of* Dry Goods complete in evory department 2 Judge Newman, at his store on Broad street, opposite Tub Bun office, is daily receiving a large quantity of the nicest fresh butter from Tennessee. -Bold in quantities to suit purchasers. * Mr. W. T. Waters, the efficient Gen eral Agent of tho Union Mutual Insur ance Company of this Htato, has been ap pointed special agent for Georgia of the Home Fire Insurance Company of Co lumbus, Ohio. Mr. Waters is an active, straightfor ward business man. This individual is universally regarded bJr the people of Georgia as bankrupt in character: and neither we nor they have the slightest interest in him personalty. We would prefer to fight a skunk, to having any controversy orissuo with him personally. But the people of Georgia have been soourged by having the largest property of the State placed under his control, on account of which it seems that the Btate has been fleeced of over a half million of dollars. For this reason we, and the people, must take notice of his official conduct, and however unpleasant it has heretofore been, and will be in tho fu tore, wo shall endeavor to discharge public duty in this case without stopping to consider its unpleasantness. And we predict that the “rod in pickle, which the people now have on liand, will be laid upon him thick and fast enough before he hears the last of this Btate Road business. The people of this State intend to have answers to such questions oe tho fol lowing; 1st How is it, that instead of paying a half million of dollars or moro into the Treasury of the Btate, from the earnings of the Road, the suid Foster Blodgett not only paid nothing into the Treasury, but had the unparallelled impudence to ask the Legislature to appropriate a half million ofjdollars to put the Rond in re pair; and still more, left the Road debt very nearly, if|not fully, a quarter of a million of dollars, to bo paid out of tho people’s pockets ? (This hist item, we believe, was mentioned by him as a big joke.) 2d. How is it that most of those who were oonnoctod with tho Road under his administration, appeared at first, to be poor as church mice, but scorn sudden ly to have become rich, and now appear to be rolling in wealth, and aro impu dently and defiantly Haunting their fino horses, carriages, houses, dressing and money-bags, in tho faces of the impov erished tuspayers of Georgia ? These are two of tho question* which the people of Georgia intend to have answered. Foster, can you face tho music ? Tho good people of tho Btate feel towards this hateful crow of carpet-bag gers and soallawogs, who have grown fat upon their poverty, and now gloat over their achievements, the moot unut terable contempt, personally; but with their official conduct they intend to have something to do anyway. Tho people arc after them—on tho war path;—and we intend to fight it out on that line. Once upon a time, a farmer had been missing vegetables from his garden, and trying to detect the tkiof. Going into the garden one day, his gardener, in excite ment, called him, and poiuting out a pole-cat, which was crouching under a few weeds in the farthest corner of tho inelosnrc, with exultation exclaimed; ''Mohra, dar’s do chap what stolo you inguns ! I smell his breff!" Plenty of C'oamel. We have, heretofore, stated that Hon. B. H. Hill, Hon. J. W. H. Underwood and Capt John Milledge had bee j em ployed by Gov. Bullock and cx-Superin- teudent Foster Blodgett, so it is stated, as associate counsel with CoL Farrow, the Attorney General, to represent the State in prosecuting those against whom charges of embezzlement or misuse of the Btate Road funds have been or may be preferred. The Constitution, of yesterday morning, announoes that Capt Geo. N. Lester, of Cobb; Gen. W. B. Wofford, of Bartow; Col. W. H. Dabney, of Gordon, and Col, Wash. Johnson, of Whitfield, have also been retained to assist in these prosecu tions. This is bringing a bountiful supply of legal ability to bear; and if these gentle men all do their best to catch and convict those who have swindled the public and fail, it will not bo for want of a sufficient number of lawyers of first-class ability. But what is the use of employing so many eminent lawyers ? V ould not one- fourth of these be sufficient ? They are all good lawyers and first class citizens, and no one will find any fault with them, for taking a good fee iu this case ; but what is the object—tho motive, in employ ing so many of them ? Who is to pay them for their counsel ? Who has a right thus to squander tho people’s money uselessly ? Another thought: when some of those who have employed these lawyers to as sist tho Attorney General in prosecuting tho robbers, are themselves arrested and put on trial, for the same high crimes, how vigorously is it expected that these eminent attorneys will prosecute their present clients?

The market is very film, with an ad, rauoe in all oommon grades of 2J@6 cents per pound, owing to tho beevy ad vance in the lower grades of the raw ma terial in Virginia and North Carolina. The report from the present growiug coop is very unfavorable, and prices for all grades will, no doubt, rule higher, Our market still maintains a superior ity over all others, both iu prioes end the supply of the article. 1A- Full Line of ltalbriggan Hosiery, at Lowe, Douglass A Dallas', erpt20-4f 42 Whitoludl Street AaitlMl Sal.

Go tad tee the Boot and Shoe man of Atlanta, at No. 87 Peachtree street Mptam Wlio la It I Onr Washington correspondent, “An gus,” makes an important inquiry: What Georgia lawyer—lately in New York holds a certified account against a Rail road in this State for fees to the amount of 8100,000 ? Does that lawyer reside in Atlanta V Is tho Railroad referred to the Western and Atlautic ? How could any one lawyer possibly render enough services, as au attorney or counsellor, to any one road, or any number of roads, even in a number of years, so as to amount to tho largo sum of ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ? If any lawyer holds suoh an acoount, why did he try to sell it in Now York -if such be tho fact ? And why is it thnt Mr Wigfull, alluded to, is placed under obli gations not to disclose tho name of the attorney, or tho road against which he holds the claim ? If such a claim exists, and is au honest one, why is it not col lected at tho office of the proper railroad company, openly and without conceal ments ? If there bo nny truth in the report, it must have arisen from some of Bullock’ heavy feeing of lawyers in connection with the State Road, and is a portion of the machine.y by which the people bavo been robbod of its earnings and their substnneo devoured by greedy carpet-bag cormorants. Wo recollect thnt the Governor gave Rob't H. Brown, Esq., au Attorney of this city—late of Iudinna, wo believo- Fivo Hundred Dollars to investigate tho title U the property on Peachtree street, purchased by tho late Legislature, of John H. .Tames, for a Governor’s man •ion— an expense that was wholly un necessary. Why did not tho Governor have the Attorney General to make tho investigation ? He was fully competent to make the investigation, ami it need not have cost the State one cent If ho was not able to do this, he is not fit to be Attorney General—though wo all know ho is competent for such work; and Mr. Brown was not employed to assist CoL Farrow iu this work because the assis tance was] nert/rtf. It was for some other purpose—some other end was to be thereby subserved. Preparing For It. The '‘signs of tho times," in the col umns of Dr. Bard's paper, indicate that ho is preparing to throw Gov. Hoffman overboard, and take Judge Chaso upon his rickety croft If this should be done, then we will be anxious to know what it in that Hoffman has done, or what ho lias failed to do, that Dr. Bard should treat him thualy ? The thing in not done yet, but the drift points in that direction—eo it teems to a man np a tree. mickurlBc'i Plamofbrtcs. Mr. Edward Faxon, in Grant's Build ing, corner of Marietta street and Broad, has furnished us with an illustrated catalogue of the pianos made by that celebrated firm. Gall at the store and get one. At a meeting of Fulton Lodge, No. 216, F.'.A.'.M. on Thursday evening, the usual order of businoas was inter rupted by a pleasing variation. The craft hod made up their minds to do soroetlung handsome for a fellow crafts man, who is about to leave the city. Ac cordingly, a very handsome gold-headed cane was presented to Mr. Ohas. S. Cook, as an acknowledgement of the very efficient manner in which he has per formed tho duties of Secretary during the past two years. The cane was presented by W.\M.\ Levi Cohen, in a very handsome little speech, which was responded to by Mr. Cook, as handsomely, making it also the occasion of his farewell address to the Lodge. The cane is a veiy handsome one, and boors the inscription, “Present ed to Bro. C. S. Cook, by Fulton Lodge, 6. 216, Atlanta, Ga." And in .another place, the words—“Secretary for the years 1870 and 1871.’’ After the ceremony of presentation was over, Mr. Mr*Cook called tho craft to refreshment, and then followed ex pressions of kindness and cordiality which will givo Mr. C. a very pleasant remembrance of Atlanta and Atlanta Masons. A Grand Southern Mndc Car. Last evening, a fine passenger car, “ Tins Georgia ”—belonging to the Memphis and Charleston Railroad, ar rived in this city, and will bo on exhibi tion very near the Passenger Depot to day and until Monday. It eclipses any thing in the way of a passenger car, that ever has boon seen in Atluuta, It is one of six of similar construction and finish, which were wholly made by tho M. & C. R. R. Co., at their shop iu Memphis.— Tho timbers were sawed and irons east and forged by them, and ovory part zuodo and put together at home. This ear is in charge of Captain Janies A. 1‘ute, formerly yard master of tho Western ami Atlantic Railroad iu this city, well known and highly esteemed by our citizens. It is prolable this beautiful car will go out to Icevillo this cveuiug at 3 o’clock, on a little excursion. It is named in honor of our noble Htsto, and is not a disgrace to us, but something we can bo proud of, and strivo to imitate in the way of car making. Mr. Drew, the Master Carpenter of the Road, is the designer and builder of these fine ears, assisted by Mr. Burke, tho Master Machinist, who const rue tod all the iron work. Thonui G. Simms. The ease decided in favor of Mr. Simms in the United State* Court, day before yesterday, was a criminal prosecution against him under a charge ol embezzle ment of tho public funds. Tho Govern ment failed to establish any criminality in his oonduot as Post Master in this city, and tho Jury, when tho case was submitted to them, quickly rendered a verdict in his favor. The Government, however, has a civil suit against him to recover tho amount of money it claimed as due from Mr. Simma. That suit will oome np in the United States Court next week. This body met lost night, with Aider- man Lowry in the Choir. A quorum present, the Council pro ceeded t..» business on questions of AFTEALS. The case of C. P. McGuire for keep ing open after hours was taken, and after the examination of several witnesses, the case was dismissed upon his paying costs. PETITIONS. Several petitions for retail license were granted. Petition for repairs on Hunter street 1)6tween Whitehall and Pryor. Referred to Street Committee. For a cistern at junction of Peters and Walker streets. Referred. Several petitions in relation to sewerH and streets, wero referred. Barnes’bodge of Odd Fellows peti tioned for lot in Cemetery for use of that Lodge. Referred to Committe on Cem etery. A check for $5,000 was ordered to be issued to Cook, Pitts A Co., as first in stallment on publio school building. D. P. Hill presented petition from Mrs. Caroline Hunter, on Peters, whose house is seriously damaged by the raising of the street, that the city pay her $100 damage, the amount necessary to raise it to a level with the street. Referred to Street Committee. REPORT OP COMMITTEES. The committee reported tho damages to Dougherty Hutchins’ lot by the pas sage of Wheat street through it at $600. This is a connection of tho street with Decatur Turnpike. Tho damage to Bell A Goldsmith’s land by the extension of the same street, by another and a shorter route, was as sessed at $600. Council passed up a check for that amount, and adopted that route for the extension. The Marshal was instructed to remove the obstructions on Cain street, near resi dence of W. F. Chisholm. The bids for the new guard-house building were read out. Messrs. Pitts A Cook made the lowest bid, it being $1(5,844. Several of the Council thought that price too high, and proposed to get up one on a cheaper plan. Motion to reject all the bills was car ried. The architects were requested to make new plans and report at next meeting for a cheaper building. A Mr. Newman was permitted to speak. He offered some wholesome suggestions abont letting out contracts. Many con tractors were not able to take the whole contract. He wanted Council to let out the brick work separately, the plastering same way, covering, painting and all be let the same. This idea was adopted by the Council, and the committee ordered to advertise for proposals in that way. A mule and cart was ordered purchased for the use of First Word. The difference in a horse swap of $25 was ordered paid. The hoi so was for a Lieutenant of police. Three hundred and eighty names were reported as not giving in nor paying their city taxes, and it was thought if the books were ordered closed these de linquents would come to time. The hooks will certainly be closed on the 15th October, when defaulters will have execu tions issued against them. FINANCIAL. The expenditures for the week foot up $7,567 83. Council then adjourned. ffasqalfoe*. We dislike very much to “bore” our readers with this subject, but it has be come such a momentous question of late that all are more or less interested in it.

In like manner, all goods intend cd for exhibition will bo taken at full regular tariff rates outward, and will bo returned free—provided, they are re turned by tho same lino of ships which bring them out.. Trusting that these low rates may iuduce a large attendance and promote an increased interest in the ob ject you represent, we ure yours truly, Wilder & Fullarton. Tlit’ Suspension of Mu j. DIiCslIs'i Trial Editors Atlanta Sun : In your paper of tho 20th inst. I notice an erroneous state ment in reference to tho case aguiuut Mr. McCalla, purporting to come from tho prosecution. It is not true that there was an authori tative demand upon Mr. McC. for a set tlement of his account with tho W. A A, R. R., by the committeo now having eharge of the books; nor is it true that he refused to make return as book-keeper of the Road. Ho demurred, through his counsel, to the rightclaimed by Col. Far row, to make a demand, os attorney of the W. A A. R. R. You informant is also mistaken os to tho manner in which the prosecution agaiust Mr. McCalla was suspended. It was not requested by his counsel; but the defense had no objection to a suspension of tho cuse, in order that he might make his statement It was agreed to in a friendly spirits as I thought, because the prosecution did not wish to do injury to au innocent man. Z. B. Hargrove. Yesterday trade was very good indeed Country msrcliauts are “laying in’’ i general assortment of goods, anil the season has opened some earlier than usual Groceries and provisions are the main articles of commerce st pres ent though we noticed scversl dray loads of dry goods, clothing, hats, boots and shoes being shipped. The greater part of these goods were marked to towns in Alabama. T# Nsajr Lawyers. Gov. Bullock has been iu the habit of keeping a large numlwr of lawyers re tained on various pretexts. We suppose this lias resulted considerably to the ad vantage of those time retained or em ployed, and poaaibly to the advantage of Bullock in some way, but we think we are safe in expressing the opinion that the State <w never bean benchtted much thereby. We suppose the long list of eminent lawyers, who are reported to have been retained by Bullock and Blodgett, to proecoute the State ltoad plundesers, will, in this case, not make much in the way of foes, unless Bullock pays them very soon. The Legislature will assem ble in a short time, and will, no doubt, take this matter into their own hands, and have the prosecuting business attended to more economically than those hitter day clients would, if they could have it oil their own way. Atlanta Clotfclng Market. Never beforo in the history of this city hss there been such piles of ready-made clothing as are now being exhibited by our merchants. And what is better, they are not so costly as usual. We have inspected several splendid stocks just opened. Oysters. These delicious bivalves are daily re ceived by the numerous restaurants in tho city, and though rather early they are fresh and fat Tho finest we hnvo seen ore at Joe. Martin’s, under James’ Bonk.
