The present system is furnished by the Atlanta Gas (’ompany, which is a strong concern, aud has always had a representa tion in the city government. The change will make a large hole in this business, but it will benefit and please the public. THE LAW l> A GOOD ONE. Tlie IV't Canes in San Francisco Decided Against the Chinese. San Francisco, Oct. 15.—Judge Sawyer . announced his decision in the United ; States Circuit Court to-day in the two , cases under the Chinese Exclusion act. 1 The court holds that as a constitutional act j its provisions apply to the Chinese now in | port on spiptioard, to those on the way from China aud those still in China. It is estimated that this decision will effect about 30,000 Chinese, as there are over 30,000 return certificates still out standing, and it is believed there are now about 3,000 Chinamen in the country who had lived here before the restriction act was passed, and who before the passage of the ; exclusion bill, would have been entitled to re-enter thiscouutry under the claim of being “prior residents.” About 000 Chi- j mse have arrived in this port since the ap- i proval of the exclusion act and about 700 others are now on their way from China. The decision of the court, whieu is very long, declared tnat the language of the act is clear and capable of beariug but oue construction. It begins to operate from the moment it was aoproved by the Presi dent, and t hough the petitioners in these ■ cases were upon the high seas at tne time the act was approved, it nevertheless op erates upon litem. The court further de clares there is no specific contract be- I tween the United States Government and i the individual Chinese laborers by whicb the latter should be entitled to return to means except throigh tin* openings and gates this country after once departing from it. provided by the said ' hattahoochee Valley Expo- I Return certificates are not a contract, sition Company, while any entertainment or Ex- jjuk on jy an instrument of evidence to position is going on uniter the auspices Of said . hlish t he i/lent it v nf a nartv nlreariv .inpanv.

Between the two thau thirty days, e ther or both, in the discre;iou governments, treaties are like other laws that confer rights aud privileges, as long as they are in force; and the court holds that the right of Congress to legislate in Allison to state whether there was any possible chance of passing the tariff bill at the present session. Mr. Allison replied that he did not see any possibility of passing it in the Senate under the surrounding circumstances and even if it were passed by the Senate, it was impossible to have the amendment consid ered in the House before next December. The consideration of the tariff bill should take place in the full Senate, but he did not believe that the Senate would remain in session during the next three weeks, nor did he believe they were called upon to do so under the circumstances. Whether a recess should be taken, and whether Congress should come back after the election and go on with the tariff bill, was a qnestion which he would leave to the judgment of the Senators on both sides. It was his purpose to pursue the tariff bill with whatever facility it could be pursued until finally disposed of. He was willing to allow a reasonable time for a general debate, and then he would ask the Senate to discuss the bill, paragraph by paragraph, under the five or ten minute rule. Whatever was done now, whether Congress adjourned to-morrow or next day, or next week, the Senate ought to have an uuderstanding that on the reassembling, whether in November or in December, the tariff bill should be pursued, that it would get to the House of Representatives “before the Christmas holidays. If he had his way he should push it to the exclusion of all business. As to the matter of adjournment, he was will ing to submit to the judgment of the Sen ate. The discussion of the adjournment reso lution stopped here, and the Senate pro ceeded with the discussion of the tariff bill, and Mr. Vest took the floor to speak upon it. Mr. Teller obtained the floor, and the tariff bill went over till to-morrow. The senate th en adjourned. cars were then run out and had proceeded to Centre street, when the mob rushed from an alley nearby and made a savage assault upon the new drivers and con ductors, and stones and missiles were hurled through the air and several of the mob pounded the men and endeavored to drag them off the cars. A hand to hand struggle then ensued. Capt. Schaack was notified of the trouble, and with i twenty-five men at once started for the • scene of the mob, which had evidently j veuted its spite, and rau away when the police appeared. Several of the conduc- i tors and drivers were hurt pretty badly. The new men say that they recognized the men in the mob as strikers. The trouble arose through the fact that the new men, retained were concentrated at the Garfield avenue barns, and were the only men running cars from that point. After the assault on the uew men this morning, President Yerks issued a note to the old emoloyes, in which he said | five or six times Jim Ellison, a brother of Sam's, was next sworn, and he testified as follows: “I was not there when the shooting oc curred.

He added that there was evideutly a movement on foot to drive the new men away, and he warned the ex strikers that such a course would not be of any advan tage to them, as for every new man driven away he would hire another one in his place. This morning one of the new men was attacked by four of the old employes, and was being roughly handled, when he drew a revolver and fired several shots at them. One of them, named Burley, was wounded in the face and was subsequently arrested. The other three escaped. A CHINESE PUZZLE House of Representativ es of the Mayor. AN ORDINANCE.

An act of Congress, upon a subject within its legislative power, is as binding upon the courts as a treaty on the same subject. Both are being excepted, as the latter one conflicts or interferes with the former. Upon the other point urged by the coun sel for the Chinese that the exclusion act is unconstitutional on account of its being an ex-post facto law, the court states: “We do not find an element of ex-post law in act now in question. There is simply a repeal by Congress of prior law found in the stipulation of treaty with China.” The counsel for the Chiuese gave notice that they would appeal the cases to the United States Supreme Court.

He denied doing the shoot ing and his testimony in the main was an effort to prove that the deceased shot her self.

He was driven to the home of Mr. John Beggs, where he reviewed the parade. Visiting clubs from all of this part of the State formed the procession, which was over a mile long. Bandannas were carried by all, aud ban ners with the party mottoes and campaign issues were tersely stated in the same way, while wagons with ladies and girls and laboring exhibits added to the variety of the procession. Bandanna parasols, car ried by several chins, served to protect them somewhat from the drizzling rain, and made a handsome appearance as well. At the Fairgrounds, three stands had been erected, from which all the promi nent speakers held forth, among them being Senator Voorhees, Genera! Black, Governor Gray and others. The conserva tive estimate as to the size of the crowd placed it at from .'15,000, to 40,000 persons. Among other things, Judge Thurman said there never was a President who took his seat under as trying circumstances as Cleveland did on the 4th of ’March, 1885. The Democratic party had been out ot power for nearly a quarter of a century. Of course there were many Democrats who thought that when we got a Demo cratic administration every Democrat in the land ought to have a good office. < if course there were others who wanted no office, but had their own peculiar no tions as to how the Government should be conducted; and to meet and satisfy the wishes of the people, those who elected him President of the United .States, that man Cleveland had the hardest task that ever was encountered by a President, and how has he performed that task?
