A deciaioh was given ~by Judge Hop- bins, yesterday, in the Superior Court, in the case of A. C. Van Epps vs. the City of Atlanta, for damages resulting from falling in an excavation on Marietta street, in the night. The counsel main tained that, as thereby was a party to the suit, i/s ciluent could not serve as jurors in the trial of the ease. The Judge sus tained the point, and fnrtlior decided that he could uot preside in the trial of the Mr. Sawyer, of tho Rome Courier, is in Urn oily—summoned here as a witness before the Ku-Klnx Committee.

What Bard Mftjrs Abonl II. A telegraphic dispatch from Washing ton to the SavannAh Xeirs, malien this statement; Samuel Bard says he is trying to buy the Savannah Republican. Tho Era, tho adminiblration organ of Grunt, hays tho Kejmblican party has had enough of Bard. The Doctor tried bard to get the New Departnrista of New York to buy the Intelligencer, of this city. He made cer tain propositions and promises of future purchase to Judge Whitaker, whereupon the Judge allowed biffi to take possession of the office and ran it for a time, or till the mleoeuldh* oonsummatud; but when Bird had published the paper long enough to damage it with its old frieDds, he simply surrendered it back to Judge Whitaker—remarking to those who talk ed with him, that he kept it till he found aub-thak it wm wrtb fmt little. So doubt, Judge Whitaker was materially Injured in the sale of tbe paper by Bard's using it a short time, and bis failure to purchase, as was confidently expected. His True Georgian has failed to secure any circulation or influence here, and no party seems willing to acknowledge it as an argon, or to help it to live. The wealthy Departurists, the big bond-hold ers of New York-4hoeo who originated that plan of forever lulling the Demo cratic party—refused to oome to his aid. They could not “see” anything in it. If they could havo believed the Intelligencer or bis so-called True Georgian, under bis management, would have exerted any in fluence for tbeir cause, they would have “shelled out” to any amount, for they have tho meaas; bat they properly appre ciated Dr. Bard's strength and influence in Georgia, j \ ) , It also seems that not even the Radicals will bid for the support of him and his so-called True Georgian, and we imagine they will not give much for the support of the Republican, under his mansge- ment _ Any mercantile house wanting a young man with large acquaintance, would do well to consult an advertisement in our columns this morning. Thr Burnt Ulilrlclof Cblrage, Through the politeness of MlC N. J. Doolittle, wc have been favored with a large and very intelligent map of tho city of Chicago, which is hanging up in our office, where it will remain for a few days, and where it can be inspected by those who desire to do so. It shows the origin, progress, aud extent of tho fire and the awful devastation made by it Tbe yicturo is a fearful ono to look at, and fills the heart with sadness. Mr. Doolittlo has just returned from a visit to Iowa. A day or two before the fire, bo was’in Chicago and rodo over tho greater portion of tho city. On his re turn, he again travelled over and inspect ed tho wide spread scenes of destruction and tho terrific suffering by tho people. Thousands upon thousands of people are bundled together in tents and board shelters—crowded like so mnoh stock in pens—tho best that can be done. He in forms us that tho suffering condition of the people can not bo imagined by any ono—hardly even by those who were driven from their homes in Atlnnta, Columbia, Ac., and their property burnt; for however oruel and horrid tho conduct of Gen. Sherman, and tlic untold suffer ing it eutailod, the people wore not ull suddenly driven from their bousee by leaping flamca—many without a change of clothing. Cal! and look at the picture. ROOK NOTICES. Chemical Manures.—'ThlB la tho title of a work just Issued from the Plautation Publishing Honso of this city. It con tains the agricultural lectures delivered by the noted French chemist, Goorge Ville, nt the experimental farm in Vin cennes, Frnnec. This series of lectures, which lias been published in the Plantation, was trans lated from Die French, by Miss E. L. Howard, the accomplished daughter of Cuptaiu C. W. Howard, of this city. This lady wa know to be well qualified for such labors. Her education lias not been limited to the usual narrow curric ulum of American Female Colleges. Her learning comprehends tho most abstruse and rocondito science, and ber proficion ey as a linguist, guarantees this, the first scientific work of a Southern lady, as no curate beyond any doubt. The work was highly commended by the Statu Agricultural Society, iu its re cent Convention, and rooommstids its circulation among tho ngricnltural socie ties of tho State. Wo have not time to give tho book on examination, and this would seem superfluous when some of tho first scholars and most experienced agriculturists havo given it their hearty indorsement.

His Honor did not apjiear yesterday morning, nt the usual hour. The assem bled convicts who had been trembling with suspense gave a sigh of relief. They stand in awe of the unrelenting will of oar honored Mayor. Fitzgibbon, however, with bis usual urbanity, received their cards, ushered them into the drawing room, besought them to make themselves at home, (which tkoy would have gladly done), and hurried up to the presence of His Honor, who was in the room above, deeply absorbed in business. Bat, with the most obsequious suavity, reminded His Honor that be was Lord Mayor of Atlanta town, and that his many friends were awaiting his presence down Btaira. His Honor returned his compliments and regretted he was “not at home,'' but in his absence delegated bit right hand man, Lowry, as MASTER OF THE DAY'S REVELRIES. (Wm.) Holland was completely inun dated with a flood of tears. This cannot be attributed, however, to a leak in the levee. This is the case which His Honor de ferred from time to time, in default of competent witnesses. We are no longer at a loss to account for such precaution. What wc considered an important trial proves to be Holland vs. Mayor and Coun cil of Atlanta. His Honor had issued subpoenas for the appearance of some of the crown princes, and was awaiting their arrival. They were very indignant that any portion of tier Vaterland should be assailed lor an offense, but so it was, and they deposited 85 a donation to the im migration fund. SAMUEL LOWE, A youth of Una degree, was tbe rebel who instigated Holland to insult the people of Atlanta on the sacred Sabbath. Pe nalty: 86.00. 86.00—80.00, 81.00. Here is the difference of offense between the instigator and tho perpetrator. If there be a modern Blackstone, let him note this as an authoritative precedent. FRANK LONO hitched his horse too long on tho side walk. He pleaded ignorance of the law, and was permitted to pay costs. Frank was the sablo brother of Miss Lucy, the famous cradle rocker. THAT SAME YOUTH, To “fortune and fame unknown,” bids fair to become very notorious. He was discovered the lost moonsbiny night, on Peters street improvising thus : Fonrtli Ward Dcmo< rulli Meeting. The Democrats of the Fourth Ward met last evening at the Medical College— Capt. Howell in the Chair. Marcns A. Bell, as Chairman of the Committee to consult with tho Central Committee, to determine upon manner in which tbe nomination for Mayor and Councilman should be conducted, report ed that the Wards would bold ojxn the polls on Friday evening between the houn of two aud seven o’clock. The nominations would be consolidated the nezt day at tho City Hall. Report ac cepted and action of Ceutrol Committee ratified. Chairman Howell appointed us man agers Daniel Pittman, M. W. Raspberry, James Mann; Clerks, Bod Elyea, Dr. Judaon, J. F. Edwards, the nomination to take place in the Willingham build ing, on Decatur street. The meeting was then addressed by CoL Glenn, Captain Newman, Marcus A. Bell, and others, all of whom expressed themselves in favor of true and tried Democrats now and forever. In response to this piteous, heart-rend ing appeal, one of the city officials sat down beside him and caressed him, but he continued: Ho . was right. His revery was un fathomable. The city gentleman was touched. He conveyed him from tho peril that threatened him. For fear that such talents might languish in obscurity, the youth was invi ted to His Honor’s reception, whore he might secure the Mayor for his lite rary patron. His Honor commended his talents, bat stated that snob improvisa tion was conducive to lunacy, and charged him 85 and costs. Oh I the obstacles that embarrass youthful genius! FELIX SMITH threw some offensive matter ou the street, yet he was happy, until he paid costs. It is a pity that JOS. LKADDEITEIl docs not lead better life. He left home ou Monday moruiug with 84.00, and re turned drunk as a brick. Three min strels were summoned, who testified that he tras a hopeless case—he had grown old and hardened in sin. One of them said; "I knows woman, pslr and slight, With hpart in hopeless mood, Who often tolls throughout the night To earn her husband’s food. Wlills hs In strength of maahood’s power, Homo gey esloou will eeek, Aud speud more money in su hour Then she esrnsin s week." Lowry knew she meant the man's wife, aud with heart beating for suffering hu manity, he asked the savage to pay 810 and costs for being such a barbarian. That civilized him.

Onr gallant firemen are very much dis pleased with the manner in which they were treated by tbe It. E. Lee Fire Com pany of Atlanta. Our “boys” claim to nave fairly won the prize, and it was first decided so. Afterwards, tbe meas urement was disputed by the R. E. Lee’s, then tho West Point Fire Company ngreod to play over, to which the R. E. Leo consented; but they were careful uot to put in their appearance. Tho local edi tor of the Era, in that paper, seems to corroborate thia statement as wo get it from an officer of our Fire C< mpany.— 1 Vest Point Netrs. We are almost sorry that tho West Point boys got beaten in tbe test mode in tliis city last week. They had two fair trials, and were beaten in both. They ought now to be satisfied. They had nothing but fair dealing. Atlanta fire men aro competent for naught else. We are sure they will be sorry that they beat West Point when they know how hard it goes with the West Point boys. Wo hope they will have better luck next time. Ap'polntracnts of the Georgia Confer ence—M. E. Church (North.)

Charleston Railroad bridge, about four teen miles above this city, and that he last year rented it to Mr. Lumpkin Zetler, formerly of Effingham county, Georgia. This year, it is said, Mr. DeMoutmollin notified Mr. Zetler that lie wished him to vacate the premises, wliioh Mr. Zetler refused to do. another version is that Mr. DeMuiitinolliu stated to Mr. Zetler that he must not sub-let the place or a part of it to negroes. However, Mr. Zetler is said to have taken no par ticular notice of either one or the otuer, or both of Mr. DeMontmollin’s requests. The difficulty grew out of ou attempt on the part of Mr. DeMontmoUin to enforce his demand. About oue week ago, Mr. Demout- molliu weut to the plantation and FORCIHLY EJECTED Mr. Zetler aud a number of the negroes working on the place. There is no Mag istrate’s Court in that neighborhood, and as a number of negroes decided to remain and work fur DeMontmoUin on the same terms os they had been working for Mr, Zetler, and as qniePseemed to have been restored, Mr. DeMontmoUin returned to Savannah. Two or three days ago, bowever, tbe negroes who bad abaudoued the plautation with Mr. Zetler, DECIDED TO RETURN and drive off thoae at work for DeMont- mollin. The hitter named gentleman immediately left the city, and, accom panied by Mr. W. A. Kent aud a Mr. Henry Slyer, encamped on tbe plantation within the ruins of an old Confederate rifle-pit, there being no boose on the estate. This rifle-pit they in part re paired, in order to RESIST AN ATTACK, should one he made by the negroes. A colored man named Stonewall Jackson, one of Mr. DeMontmollin’s servants, who encamped with them, yesterday morning about daylight went down tbe river to catch Borne fish for breakfast. Whilst there he heard A ROAR OF MUSKETRY in tbe direction of the camp where he had left tbe three white gentleman sleep ing. From the noise made by the dis charge of the guns, Jackson is under the impression that there were at least one hundred shots fired. Jackson immedi ately hastened to tho shore, iutending to reach the camp, but by tbe time he had walked a few yards, he heard tho negroes shouting aud cursing “THAT WHITE MAN’S NIGGER,” and knowing that the band of outlaws referred to him, he returned to tbe river bank and concealed himself in tbe boshes. Presently tho shouts, cheers and curses, commingled, became still more distinct, and soon after about two hundred blacks passed, bearing Mr. Slyer on a litter, and guarding Mr. DeMontmoUin and Mr. Kent, who were profusely bleeding from their wounds, down to the river. After placing them in tho boat, the ne groes divided, somo of them going in the direetion of the rifle-pit, the others leap ing into a numb er of small boats, rowed down the river. Some distance from tbe landing where the ’negroes took to the boats, the river makes a bend to tbe northeast. From this point to where the negro(Jackson) was concealed could be heard,the cheers of the assassins and tbe words “GO TO BLUFFTON,” from which it is inferred that the whito men were carried to that place, for what purpose is not known, perhaps to give tbo victims a burial iu some out of tbo way place. Jackson in time left the bushes where ho was concealed, and went up the river some distance uutil be found a boat nnd palled himself to Purysburg. He was accompanied by a white boy and a negro from the Carolina side of the river, and when the steamer Rosa made the landing they stepped aboard aud were brought to this city last evening.” Tbo Newt, ot Tuesday, has tho following additional particulars of the affair: From Major Arthur, commanding a detachment of United States troops, which were dispatched on yesterday to tbe Beene of the recent troubles on the DeMontmoUin plantation to investigate tho matter, we learn that the difficulty was not of such a serious nature ss was at first supposed. It appears from the statement of tho Major, that tho negroes who did the shooting went to the plantation armed with legal doemnentsissued from a negro justice in Bluftton, for the purpose of dispossessing Mr. DeMontmoUin, and meeting with resistance, fired upon tbe whites, as stated yesterday, wounding thorn all. Mr. DeMontmoUin and Kent aro but sUglitly wounded. Mr. Slyer, however, is supposed to be mortally wounded. The white gentlemen were conveyed to Bluffton, and are now under arrest, in pursuance of pnpors from the negro magistrate, and until their release is ef fected, a correct history of the matter is hardly possible. Two of tbe citizens who went from this city yesterdny, proceeded beyond the plautation in the direction of Bluffton, and tbe others returned on the 5| train yesterday afternoon. Notwithstanding the information ini- parted by Major Arthur, on his return last night, many rumors are still iu cir culation, nearly all of them differing ma terially in point of information. Tho following is a oonrier dispateh re ceived by onr reporter at a late hour last night, and which, of course, is the latest nows from tho front: Everything on plantation all right with tho exception that numbers of ne groes aro about the place, armed. Mrs. DeMontmoUin was taken from the next place, (some two miles off,) and carried with L. H. DeMontmoUin. Tkcnr have taken them with Slyer and Kent to Bluffton. Ho, (L. H. DeM.) is not wounded as had as supposed. Kent is only wounded slightly, hut Slyer is mor- taUy wounded.
