MAYOR’S COURT.
Terrible Bxeltemrat— 1 The Mayer kill

The scene at the City Hall yesterday
waa somewhat more excited than usual.
The Mayor's numorous retainers were in
the hall, the prisoners were on hand;
Johnson waa conspicuous; but where,
oh where is ho for whom our love burn
etii ? U was generally understood from
Tu 8c* of yesterday morning that our
incoming Mayor was to oonfront the
Croat I Am, and oonrineo him that one
good turn deserves another. But though
the surging crowd looked for bis Honor's
entree with anxiety, yet he did not come.
Strong men wept and full upon each
other’s breast, piteously exclaiming,
"Where, oh where is lie ?’’ Tbs cry re
sounded through the corridors, out along
the street, where it was caught up by the
street force, and Sven ladies fainted.
The surmises were various. Some
hinted Ku-Klox; bat at the Mystic
Brotherhood's existence wae doubted,
that fear wee dismissed. Gradually the
people seemed to beoome reconciled to
the sad dispensation, and regarded his
Honor as being no more with ns. Every
eye was suffused with tears, every bead

ware universal, apd wo became so

Since the war of extermination began

tfee groat themselves equal to it, and then is every
indication that evff ia being effectually

inga were rather summary, yet they have

thus:
Mr. Shearer, I have called on you to

Mr. Shearer—See, llieo here, young

and I was nominated for Mayor.
Reporter—So I have understood. Bnt
why did you not run through tha elec
tion 7
Mr, Shearer—I’m sorry now I didn’t
When I waa pat up they all ’gin calling
on me, and askt mo not to ran, as we
oouldn’t got a bettor Republican than
Mr. Hammond. I did not bavo much
faith in him, but a oouple o’ days aforo
the election a party waited ou me, and
tould me if I would give away to Mr.
Hammond they would promise me tho
office of State Overseor. They pressed
so hard I consented.
Reporter—But they did not keep their
promise with yon, did they ?
Mr. Sheoror—No, by G—d, they
didn’t I They played a Yankoo bag
tricks on me; but I will play an English
trick on them next tlmo. I’ll houd on
liko a bull-dog. After tho election, the
four Itopublican members wero to vote
for me, and ono Democrat.
Reporter—Pray, Mr. Shearer, which of
the Democrats was it ?
Mr. Shearer—That’s business. I’ll let
out on hirewken the time oomes. Crus-
sell coom to me and said he had secured
two Democrats, who, with our four,
would eleot him. I got mad at the whole
crowd and qnit them. I’ve had my belly
fall o’ carpet-baggers. I voted for Alex
ander mysel’, and don’t like Hammond.
Ho don’t stick to his party. I hear Hul
sey wants to ran next year on the Demo
cratic tinket. I’ll vote for him if he does.
If he don’t ran I’ll be elockit mysel’.
Reporter—What about your arrest yes
terday ?
Mr. Shoaror—Well, I’ll toll thee, things
will happen. But I think one good turn
deserves another. Hammond oughtn’t
to fine mo. If I had ran he’d no be
oleckit. Ho only had fifty or sixty over
Alexander. I could, lia’ taken moro’n
that away from him, and Alexander would
have boon Mayor. He owes his offioe to
me, and I think one good tarn deserves
another.

think of that; but, you know, Repablics
are ungrateful. I have another qnestion

REMARKS.
Wholesale trade to-day has been pret
ty active, and many country orders have
bpen filled. Atlanta is destined to con
trol a heavy wholossle business, and al
ready, notwithstanding certain impedi-
ments over which she has no control, or
ders are received by otlr wholesale deal
ers from every part of tho State, and
many towns in Alabama. The projected
Board of Trade, (a meeting for tbe or
ganization of which has been called for
Saturday night, at the Skating Rink), will
do much toward the establishment of a
healthy commercial influenoe, and give
tone to our businoss Interests generally.
It will foster a genuine rivalry in honora
ble dealing*, and be asouroo of strength.
Tho retail business, as usual in summer
months, is comparatively dull. There is
no demaud exoept for immediate con
sumption, and then in small quantities.
Cotton—Is quiet and weak, at 18} lor
full New York middlings. The recent
heavy injury by storm to tho growing
crop, will, no donbt, wield a heavy influ
ence on prices the ooming season. It
would be vain to attempt to partioular-
ize yet, but it is our opinion that the
present prices, if not higher,will oontinue
to rale.
Floor.—There is a rather hoavy
wholesale dejpand for flour, and the local
demand has been lively. Conflicting ru
mors regarding Western prices, have
somewhat deranged the market, and there
is a strong feeling that a decline is inevi
table. Superfino, 86 60; extra, 87 50;
family, 88 60 to 0; Fancy 89 60 to 10.
Grain.—Much buoyancy has been ex
hibited in corn, and it sold readily at
81. Wheat, rod, 81 60; white 81 60 to
81 80. Oats, 05c.; but litUo in the mar
ket. Rye, 81. Barley 81.
Mbats—A general dullness prevails,
and there to scarcely any demand for
meat in bulk. There is quite a large sup
ply on tho market, however, and there
ore symptoms of g revived buoyancy.—
5aeon—shoulders, 8}; clear rib sides, 10;

Bulk meats—shoulders, 7i; clear rib

Laud—Moderate at 12} in tierces; kegs
and cans, 13@14.

Dby Goods—Thademand for dry goods
is quite lively. Prints mugs from 7}o to
15c. Heavy ginghams, 12}@16; Scotch
20. General prices unchanged.
Hardware.—But little exoitement in
this line, and previous prices stationary.
Tonaooo.—Tho trade lias been steadily
brightening up in this line for a month
past—medium tobaccos being principally
in demand, with a fair sale of fine twist.
There has been no material change in
prices We qnote: Common grades,
60s. to 55; medium, GOo. to 65; fine 75a.
8125.
Ssqars—have been in better demand,
and the trade is improving. Begors worth
from 82 to 85 per hundred being mostly
inquired for by tho trade—the principal
demand for fine brands being from
city retail trade.
Tobsooo dealers appear to bo in high
spirits at the prospect for a heavy fall bus
iness, and state that purchasers have
been nationally prompt in settling thoir
bills reoontiy falling duo.
Ice.—The ioe business has reoontiy
undergone a general change. Since the
Atlanta Ioe Manufacturing Company have
put ioe on the market, by general consent
it seems, ire has settled down at 2 cents.
The weather has been a little too cool for
a heavy business the past week, bat the
sweltering heat of August and September
wifi induce s good trade for two months
longer. Bpeoisl retro are given to pur
chasers by the ton.
TRADE IN FRUIT.
Peaches—Tho market to almost bare of
peaches. Ths stock of ohoioe Early has
been good np to the pest few days; bnt to
falling off unusually fast. It to not con
sidered s foot among the dealersthai tha
orop will torn out as large as was antici
pated—a large quantity of the trait hav
ing dropped from the trees—some rotted,
and a portion whipped off end destroyed
by the storms. Pease end His Wife have
oondnetod a heavy and satisfactory trade
in this line. Hiey have sold to date,
from tbe form of Judge Canning-
six miles below Griffin, $1006.00
of early and ohoioe pmohoq,
and there to more to earea from the same
orchard. This to good proof that culti
vating peaches in Georgia can be profit
ably conducted. The price of peaches
to date has avenged 82.60 per bushel
bnt is rapidly declining as the season
advances. The sagacity and industry of
the fruit-dealers of Atlanta, together
with the natural advantages for shipping,
have built up_a tremendous bounces here,
now fopr times aa great as it was in 1867.
In fact, Atlanta has gotten to be the New
York of the South in the fruit business.
As an instance of the amount of business
in this line, we mention that tho firm al
luded to above sold tost week 6,000
melons to parties outside of Atlanta.—
The trade is conducted with a great deal
of spirit and intelligence; and in a future
iarticlo we may have something to say of it
Melons.—The receipts of melons vary
from 10 to 25 ear loads daily—A loads
arrived yesterday. The price averages
from 15 to 21 cents by the car load, of
about 600, and retail at from 20 to 50
cents. Shipments are heavy.

er than any road ooming into the oity.
They are low enough to prevont wagons
and aorta and buggies, from oompeting
with ths rood for travel, and marketing
ox wagons and carts oome into Atlanta
along by the Bide of other railroads com
ing into this oity, for forty miles, bring
ing eetton and other produce, and carry
ing back family supplies—sll this beosnae
freights on the railroad are so high the
farmers cannot pay them, and can lose
the time from their forma and haul with
their ox oorts cheaper.
Mr. Holland has put the freights so
low, that a farmer in Gwinnitt finds it
to hia advantage to pot Ida bale of oot-
ton on the train at Norevoa- oome down
on the train with it, sell it here, and re
turn on the train to Noreroes, carrying
hia rook of salt, bar of iron, and other
eipplisa—*llfar lean in money than tho
time, labor, wear and tear would amount
to in value if he should oome and go all
the way with hia oxen.
Wslson Street Ksteaalon.
To-night, at the Conncil meeting, a pe
tition, signed by a large number of the
tax payers of the First Ward, praying for
the extension of Nelson street through
Mr. Peters’ block to Mitchell street,
fronting Mr. Caldwell's, at the junction
of Mitchell and Thompson streets, will be
acted upon. The petitioners state that
Nelson street is now one of the great
thoronghfares of the city, and to a leading
avenue of entrance into the city; but that
in front of Col. Collier's residence, owing
to the course taken by the Maoon and
Western Railroad, it to bronght to a sud
den stop, and the only direct route it can
take ia through Mr. Peters' block. If the
street is not so extended, property along
Nelson street will decrease in value, ow
ing to this fact. Heretofore the block
has been open to travel, and the necessity
for this extension has not been felt, bnt
reoently Mr. Peters has fenced it up, and
now travelers are compelled to take a
round-about course to get into the oentre
of town. The olaims of the petitioners
have much force, and should be carefully
oonaidered by Co unoil.
Oar position on the matter to simply
this : If there to shown to be a general
public necessity for this extension it
should be made. All private interests
must give way to pnblio necessity. If
tbe objections to the extension should
reduce themselves to one, as there to a
probability they will, viz: tho value set on
the property by Mr. Peters, then the
street should be extended if the necessity
exists. The property to not likely ever to
depreciate in value, and it to better to pay
a certain amount now, than ten times the
amount some years hence.
We hope the Council will act judioions-
ly in this matter and give it all the atten
tion tho high character of the petitioners
colls for.

The Opening of Alnbnmn Street.
Editor Sun : What has become of tho
Street Committee’s report relative to tho
opening of Alabama Street, or has a re
port been made? Tbe public to greatly
interested in having this street opened to
somewhero in tbe direction of the maga
zine. Unless this work to done now it to
probable that it never will be done, as the
Macon 4 Western Railroad will shortly
fill np that deep break in the old Monroe
Railroad "fill.” Tho necessity of extend
ing this street to apparent to every one
who has taken the trouble to examino this
portion of the city. It will give an ontlet
to a large area of the oity, which, at pres
ent, bos none without making a circuit of
at least a mile. This portion of the city
to mainly inhabited by industrious me
chanics—good citizens, who certainly de
serve somo favors at the hands of the City
Oounoil. Again, the opening of this street
wonld give ready access to tho Mineral
■Spring—which would be highly apprecia
ted by tho people. At present there to
no carriage way to the Springs, and la
dies, especially invalids, aro debarred tho
benefit of the water. These Springs ore
worth koeping np, and would be kept, if
there were only some moons of reaching
them oonvoniently. What will the Coun
oil do?

In onr notice yesterday of tho arrest
of Mr. Shearer, the circumstanoes nnder
whieh it was mode was not given. He
says he was in a store (not on the street
creating a disturbance or indulging in
improper conduot); that he went to the
store to collect a bill of 88 due hj{n for
work in his line, whieh he had called for
eight times before, bnt failed to reoeive;
that he became angry when he again
failed to get hia money, and said somo
severe things, whereupon the store-keeper
called a policeman and had him arrested.
He further states that it to true that
he did denounoe the carpet-baggers and
Radicals as public swindlers; that he does
and will stick to this denunciation, and
shall, at the proper time, do so publicly.
Thoro to a decrease in the warmth of
ths Weather. Yesterday was very pleas
ant, and a delightful breeze added to the
delight of the day.
Vamooied the Ranch*.
A oouple of days since we published
the case of tbe notorious Anne Rohan,
which was disrate ed on oocount of infor
mality in the noons, tion. The document
was corrected by Mr. Oglesby, and again
placed in the hands of Bailiff Briggs for
service. He went to tho place, and found
it deserted, and could obtain no trace of
the frail oreature. Subsequently he
found that all her goods had been sold
at auction. Thus ends the history of one
who might havo been an ornament to her
sex, but who lived afoul blotch upon the
name of woman. She was almost dead
with consumption, and has but few days
in which to bid adieu to tho scenes of her
wiokedness.

T* -J The Culture of Fl#Weri.*^H^
We are glad to notice a growing taste
among our people for the culture of flow
ers. Nothing ean be prettier than to see
the cottage of the mechanic and artisan,
or the mansion of the wealthy, adorned
by beauteous floral growth. Flowers are
so connected with the sentiments, and
suggestive of love and purity, that their
presence cannot but exert a purifying in
fluence. Let every householder adorn
hto house with the fairest of flowers, and
not only will he beautify hia residence,
but ho will feel better for it
