But to tbe excursion. it was < 'jumped up” affair, and boeeed in oon junction by Vol. Donning and B. W. Wrenn. And they are the beet once on a "jump” that aver were scared up. The party consisted of Gen. Austell, J. H. dime*, Col. Niobolls, E. 8. Jones, 8r., Edward Platt, M. T. Phillip*, Samuel Stocking, J. J.

Thing* went nice enough op to this time, but it w*a not until tbe party on it* re- tarn (topped at Icevllle, and partook of aeveral bottle* of "Uerdaiok,” that wit •nd mirth began to flow. Here Mr, Baum, the indefatigable Superintendent of the works, exhibited to the excursion- iats the modus operandi of manafaetaring ioe, whioh he is doing on an extem-ive aoale. (This ia a great piuoe for excur sionists to atop a!. Just a little, ice, yon know, mekee everything go cool and nioe.)

In yea’eruay'a lcsue of Thb Sun there appeared* card from “The Other Auc tion Rouse,” referring to a previ jus no tice made by that paper in regard to tha s*i*» pf course, by tbe Ltv* Auo sou HoM °f T. C. Mayaon, in which L. Nathans t Co., proprietas of tbe other station boose, take umbrage at the bare msntopn of the fact of our realiz ng a 'argot amount for goods sold oy us than thsybonld possibly get This feeling we know to be eoiqmon among competitors in business; but this is about tbe first instance in our ac quaintance with Atlanta business com petition that an attempted rival had the abeeh to admit the fact. As regard* tbe oom par stive reputation of tbe Live Auc tion Home and tnatof L. Nathans A Co., no better can be sddnoed than the fact that the Live Auction House did sell a lot of corn that had been pnrohased by one of onr largest liquor dealers from L. Nathans A Co., realising an advauee oi nm pei oent above the amount reoeired by them for the. same, and this, too, on the same day; and, further, that said oorn wm pure 1 ! wed by one of our most prominent grocery men, paid for promptly, and the money turned over as requested. These facts ii Nathans A Co. mw proper to omit in their statement yesterday, and we merely give it now in justice to the veracity of the gentleman who engaged us to sell the corn for him, the artiole ret erred to asserts: “ Tha information given you, m ap pears by your artiole, is iuoorreot; May- son did not get SO cents per bnsliel lot the 2,000 bushels sold by him, and the other honre did get more than 80 cents for what they sold." Aa to whather L. Nathans A Co. ever sold any of the oorn mentioned, which wm consigned to them by the W. A A. R. II, I know Dot; bnt that I did sell the two Oar loads consigned to them, and personally delivered the same in front of their house on Alabama street, is a fact beyond denial, and that a considerable profit was made by the transaction is ap parent to any one with even a limited knowledge of arithmetic. Tbe arrogance, of L. Nathans A Co. in ‘ 'averring' 'a matter that I leave to the pub, lio to decide; that ia the business uapseity - promptness and energy Ac., is only equalled by the presumptiveueas of tbe assertion of their own auperiot qualifica tions in this line. If they, as a general thing, misrepresent their goods at auc tion, as palpably as they have tbe frets in this care, we flatter ourselvee that the competition will be m short-lived as the position they plaoe themselves in to . rid iculous to the publio. I have no doubt but L. Nathans A Do. possess sufficient expertness for tbe amount of business they do, and if their succeea ia dependent upon a capacity auoh m they have manifested in this transaction we feel assured that the pub lio will note this prominent feature in their future relations with this firm. Now as to the assertion that I did not get 60 cts. per bushel for this oorn, I give the statement on my books m follows: First lot sold brought 62 cents; second lot 62 oenta; third 62 oents; fourth 61 cento. There figures comprise the prioes re ceived by me for tbe corn consigned to a>* directly by tbe Western and Atlantio Railroad. I am further preapred to give the names ot purchasers if neoessury Tbe following is ihe result of the sale of the lot consigned to L. Nathans A Co by the Western and Atlantio Railroad, 7611 bushels, for which I received 46 cents per bushel. I have been informed that they sold the same lot on the 'soma day for 30 cents per bushel, while I in less than an honr afterwards realized 46 0601“ for it. We give these faots and figures with out farther comment, leaving it to the piibHc who have by their liberal patron age *o frequently and potently asserted their entire confidence in a T. C.
