Immediately on the le ft hand side of th .» ouU-r gate will be the building for the Secretary and Treasurer’s •offices, 20 by 80 feet. Ticket offices will be placed in quantities to suit the demand on either side and nearer the entrance of the Fair Grounds. This inner entrance will be Hanked on each ride by handsome lodges, one being intended for the President of the Asso ciation. Around the entire enclosure will run an ornamental fence twelve feet high, sur mounted by a handsome cornice. Posts will divide the ride walks from the carriage way and the centre will be ornamented by a pretty gnus plot also surrounded by posts. THD BUILDINGS. besides those already described, will consist of the following : a magnificent ampithentre im mediately on tL«- North side of, and overlook ing the race track, which will be some forty feet wide and five hundred feet long, . 12 tiers of seats will be placed in it, giving accommo dation to some five thousand persons; oppo site this in the Inner circle of the track will be placed the judges* stand and a balcony for a band.

The park will be well watered. Them is quite a little stream running through a portion of the ground, and there are .several springs upon it Independently of these, several wells will be dug at places convenient to buildings and pens. It is contemplated to add one or two large ponds of standing water, which will add much to the fori ensernbU of the grounds. The process of clearing the ground of stumps has been much aided by a simple ma chine, to which the “Utley power” has been applied. The same as that applied to the “Utley Cotton Press.” We judge from effects . that its power must be wonderful. The quantity of lumber required is some •'2,000,000 feet The work to be done is enor- yet none connected with it »e * that the whole will be completed in the . required time, and that it will present a park ,<»f such afttfiw lions, that its equal will not be j found in the Booth, The railroad will mu to the ground, a depot j being fixed up within its limit*.

After a while Barnett left saying he would write to Mark Hardin and get him to come down and sec if tho case could not be settled—all parties to meet at the office of witness next morning as Burnett expressed a desire to see her and explain to her all his connection with tho matter. Burnett dis claimed having anything to do with the fraud charged. Witn-s-*, mi vs had j ht; ends to accomplish in this matter but acted solely as an attorney, Mynalt A Dell directed the arrest of Barnett, and the officer informed witness he had taken bond. The evening be fore the trial, Myimtt A Dell were informed that the case was settled. M. A. Hardin gave his draft to W. P. Chisolm for $1,000, and Chisolm gave his note to Mrs. Beck to settle the case. Chisolm manifested a strong desire to have the case settled and the matter hush ed up. Witness knows of no facta that would complicate any official in the transaction. (Here the warrant was exhibited and verified.) Witness thinks Hardin said he would have to be the party that would suffer. That we could not proceed against the officials without in volving him (Hardin). Witness informed him that the course that would be pursued under Mrs, Beck’s instructions would only necessitate the arrest of Mr. Burnett Witness thinks he told Hardin if it became necessary during the prosecution of the case, he (Hardin) would have to foil. Mrs. Beck had instructed us that, as she believed her brother would, to his injury, shield the officials of the road if he could, therefore she desired us to take such action as would not involve him if we could. Mrs. Beck informed witness that W. P. Chis olm bad becu up to see her with un instrument in writing for her to sign, but she had become suspicious of him, as all her friends had de ceived her, and she would do nothing until she consulted her attorneys. V. A. Gaskill sworn, says he is clerk to the Superintendent at $150 per month. When witness went on duty, thinks about the first of February lost, he stated to the Superintend ent that he would not give up his law practice. When a case comes up and the Superintendent desires an immediate opinion, witness exam ines the case and gives his opinion without any fees, bnt when he has to go into the court house with a case ho charges the rood fees. Witness has had turned over to him twelve or thirteen cases, on which he has received as re tainer $500. Some of the cases are of impor tance. Thinks they would aggregate over $50,000.

Avery sworn says, he is editor of the Daily Constitution, knows nothing of any frauds or mismanagement of his own knowl edge. What he knows is from reports made to him by others by communication or other wise. Witness gave the names of several per sons who have reported that they had been required to take the Era, and $5 of their pay retained without iheir consent; also gives the names of persons who say they know some thing about the Tennessee river steamboat af fair. Says he has been in the habit of riding over the Western and Atlantic railroad for some years. Says In January last the road a miserable condition. Thinks, from riding over the road, that the bed is much improved. (CoL Avery dismissed.) Gen. Wofford sworn says, he knows of no frauds or mismanagement on the road of his own knowledge. Thinks from what he has seen about his place that the road bed is in better condition now than last year. Thinks there are fewflr 'accidents now than then. Has been acting os Attorney tor the road a number of years in special cases in his own oounty, except during the war, for which he charges the rood the same as he does other persons. /. H. Porter sworn, says he is General Ticket Agent for all the roads connecting at Atlanta, makes his returns to B. W. Wrenn, General Ticket Agent for the Western and Atlantic Railroad, and turns the money over to the Treasurer. Thinks the Ticket System adopted by the Western and Atlantic Railroad to be the best in use, being a more perfect check than any he has ever known. The system referred to was inaugurated by J. B. Peck nuder Major Wallace’s administration. Knows of no frauds on the read. Z. B. Hargrove sworn, says he resides in Floyd county, holds no office on the Western and Atlantic Railroad. Knows ot nothing wrong in the administration of the road. Judging from the ease with which the cars move over the road, thinks the road-bed in much better condition now than last year. Witness hopes to have the Chisolm and Hor- diu misunderstanding ammicably adjusted by to-morrow. T. W. Hooper sworn, says he resides in Kingston, Bartow county, has been employed by the Western and Atlantic Railroad in a few small cases in his county. Never saw A L. Harris in reference to the Beck case except one time when he enquired of Harris what disposition had been made of the money paid Hardin. Harris referred witness to Burnett the proper officer having charge of the Western and atlj oatino Committee, The Committee i s*nc Railroad Invest* Pridat, June 3d, 1870. etat 9 o’clock. Sidney Del! sworn, says be is a partner of Mynall A Dell. About tho first of March last Mrs. Beck came to the office of Mynall & Dell for the purpose of employing us as coun sel in a <^»M connected vfflb thB road, she informed us that au award of $5,000 had l -obtained against the Rood, and that she bad ■given her brother, Mark A Hardin, a power of Attorney to compromise the claim that she had received $2,000 from Hardin, and had . been Informed by him that this was the full . amount of the settlement; said she had heard 54,000 had beep paid by the Road, and that she had been swindled by the officials of the Road. From this and from other riaten^ints, we advised her that she could have Mr. Burnett ♦! - rested for cheating and swindling hex, if these .statements were true. We acted for her at Western and Atlantic Railroad Investi gators Committee.—Saturday, June 4th.— Committee met and passed a resolution to pass over the rood starting from Atlanta Monday week. A L Harris recalled, says there *were em ployed on the road for January 722. Febru ary 773, and for Mareli 979 hands. Found it necessary to increase the number as spring opened ami new track was being laid Ac. says about 10 miles of new traclw 1ms been laid this year, with the fishbar rail making it a first class track. It takes 377 rails to lay a mile of track and about 30 kegs of spikes. The rails cost $85 per ton at Shofield’s roll ing mill—laying the ten miles cost about $92,000. Tho old iron is worth ubout $20,- 000 which should be deducted; 30 hands and two bosses have been employed, laying this track—the hands at $1 50 per day, the bosses at $75, per mouth, each. Says there are per sons employed on the road whose names do not appear on the pay roll, such as traveling agents who are away and who have accounts for expenses which cannot be roafla up when the pay roll is being made out. Witness has never appointed.bnt ope man on the road, Thinks with bnt about one exoeption that not a man on the road has been in Georgia than 5 years. Knows it has becu the policy of the Superintendent to give ffeojv gians th® preference, all things being equaL Thinks about twenty lost cars have been found by agents while on other business by ts reporting them and the road send ing after them; but no one has bean employed to look up lost cars specially. No officer has failed to give tho bond required that witness knows of. There are two boats on the Ten- River belonging to tho Western aud Atlantic Railroad, bought by former adminis tration. The Resaca and Miry Byrd. The latter is now sunk, the termer tied up, as it does not pay to run them. The boats never refused to take freights while in the posses sion of the road. Don’t know what they cost Thinks they could be sold again. The Carters- viUe and Van Wert Railroad have one engine and twelve flat care belonging to the Western and Atlantic Railroad, most of the time they are employed hauling rocks from Chicka- mauga to Cartersville, for which they pay tho Western and Atlantic Road $12 per car load, the usual freights, they famishing all tho hands, the Western and Atlantic Rood furnish ing woodland water. Grease waste, etc., fur- nisluxl them is charged to them; the charter of the Cartersville and Van Wert Road re quires tho Supcrintendant of the Western and Atlantic Railroad to furnish these facilities. If this train was not thus employed it would be of no service to the road at this time as it is a very inferior engine, and the flat cars are not necessary for the working of the road at this season. No employee of the Western and Atlantic Railroad lias been required to take the New Era. They have been requested to do so, some have done so, some have not. The subscription for the paper, $10, was divided into two monthly payments, S3 each month. A recipt for $5 was placed in the envelope of each who had subscribed on the line of road, but when paid off, if any one was not satisfied, the receipt was taken back and his entire wages paid notwithstanding in some cases they had received the paper for a month. n. O. Hoyt, mm, says be is inspector and rvr i ver for wood and cross ties; gets two cents per £01$ gfqod, and one-half cent, per cross lie; fhinjj* j.t ygj pay him $1,200 or probably a paying rate, and we will have the satisfac tion of knowing that it ive do not transact a business us immense as formerly, (which I think we will) we will be making a fair profit on the business done. The ordinary working expenses of this road Is about 75 per cent, of the present earnings The rates should be so that tho expense would bo but 50 par cent of the earnings. The tabular statement above presented shows tlie rules ircie reduced last year 25 to 28 per cent and, without censuring tho adminis tration iu tho least, I will here say that the struggle to make both ends meet caused the track, motive power and rolling stock to run down to such a condition as to make it abso lutely necessary, and it has been necessary, for the present administration to incur vast expense in order to continue the service of the road. Freight rates below cost are popular with the merchants but they will not keep your road in order, or pay money into the Slate Treasury. It is an ea *y matter to reduce the price for service rendered, bat a very difficult matter to increase such price. .This latter the Superin tendent has determined, however, to do, and I make the foregoing statement in explanation in part, of the financial condition of the rood, and the necessity of higher rates of freight. Mr. Tweedy proposed the following resolu tion: Whereas, the statements just read by A L. Harris, Master of Transpotation, is of great in terest and the recommendations therein con tained of the utmost importance to the welfare of the Western and Atlantic Railroad and tho people of the State. Resolved, that the Committee endorse same statements and recommend that the sugges tions be carried out Adopted, Mr. Phillips voting no. * Witness says, the redaction of the present number of officers pud employees of the Road is a matter which is being constantly investi gated, with a view to reduce the number to the lowest working capacity. The pay of Supervisor, $4,000 per anum, has been abolished. The Superintendent of Car Shop, $2,000 per anum, has been abolished. The Foreman in Blacksmith Shop ip Car Shop, at $4. per day, has been abolished. Six clerk ships were last week dispenced with, other re ductions will follow as fast as the services ot the parties can be dispensed with. Committee adjourned until to-morrow morn- ning at 9 o’clock.

Gentlemen of the Investigating OunmUtee on Western and Atlantic Railroad : I consider we do not receive sufficient compensation for the immense business we transact—a business in freights of over one hundred thousand dollars per month. Owing to the fact that nine-tenths or more of the through business of the road is from Chattanooga to Atlanta, the cars returning empty, and the continuous curves and long grades, the cost of transporting freight is much greater iu proportion than the coot to connect ing ratals. I have carefully figured the actual cost of transportation over the Western and Atlantic Railroad, aud including hauling tho empty cars up and bringing them hack loaded, it is 2$ cents per ton pei»mile, or $27 60 per car-load from Chattanooga to Atlanta without account ing for the wear and tear of tho track, road-bed and bridges. . Now let us see what we receive per car-lopd for this service that costs us $27 60 to perform. These Green Line bills taken at random from the Record office show the proportion for the Western and Atlantic Railroad to be from $17 22 to $20. $20 75, $20 80, $23 73 per car load, and these amounts are not correct, for at the end of each month comes a settlement for general agency, expenses amounting to thou sands of dollara which reduces materially the amount of our receipts.

According to th* debaters of this question, the veteran old ccoiiOUiist, Adam Smith, must, after all, be a very unreliable authority. Both sides quote his maxims of taxaticii to sustain their argumentation. For instance Mr. Lough, ridge, of Iowa, says: Now, siu what, is this income tax? I un dertake to say that in the whole range of tax ation there is no more equal or just system of taxation Uiuu this. I wish to be understood that when’I say equal taxation I do not mean a system which takes from all men tho same amount Such a system would be most un- equaL I iiean that system which comes near est in accord with that fundamental maxim or rule of tafotion laid down by Adam Smith, Letter from Washington. Correspondence of the New Erm.) Washington, Jane 3, 1870. Both cliques of the Sioux Indians are here in full force and native dignity. Spotted Tail heads one crowd and Red Clond heads the other and most numerous gang. In good looks there is about a stand off between the two parties. I have never been troubled with great deal of sympathy for those children of the forest, and I can’t say that personal in spection of these two parties makes any marked change in my opinion of them. They have evideutiy been fixed up for the present occasion, and have got ou their store-clothes consisting of vnreigated blankets, many colored leggins and beaded moccasins. They all wear their long, wiry, black hair well greased' and combed smooth. This I think, however, is all pat on for the time being, and if I had my choice, aud I suppose I have iu this matter at least, very little acquaintance with these noble sons, Ac., will do for me. A gentle iuvitutiou to meet them or any one of them, male or fe male, by moonlight alone, I should respect- frilly dor lints. The fcirt ii~i flxtok-wre aw** had about enough tinkering and troubling with such a heathenish looking lot of these fellows it they are the best specimens, and that about the best thing wo can do is to adopt the plan proposed by a California friend of mine now here. He proposes to put them all into one big reservation and supply them with all the whisky they want, and any qu&nity of knives and pistols, and then let them go at each other. If that wouldn’t be effectual in settling our Indian troubles in a shorter time and at less expense tliAn any other plan yet suggested, then I give it up. Why even now, he of tli^variegatcd extrem ity and lie of the carnrin vapor formation, can’t set down to smoke together aud talk over their national affairs without imminent dan ger of a collision. Indeed, I have heard that they won’t even recognise each other as gen tlemen. The amenities of polite intercourse are not indulged iu between them. When speckled extremity went up to call on his great Father yesterday, he stipulated before hand, that carmine vapor shouldn’t make one of the party, and so I suppose when the latter distinguished gentleman unbends liis dignity to go to the white House, he will make simi lar demands regarding the other old fellow. So we go. I reckon that it will cost a few thousand dollars to pay the expenses of this trip of these scallawags to Washington, bnt the good accomplished by the visit will be in inverse ratio to its cost For fear you should otherwise fail to get it, let me give you the names of the last arrived party. I am sorry I havn’t got them in the vernacular. Iu that shape they would be better amusement for the school children than a selection of the big gest compound Greek derivatives iu the dic tionary. Here they are: Red Cloud, Brave Bear, Red Dog, Red Shirt, Long Wolf, Black Hawk, Little Bear, Sword, Yellow Bear, Rocky Bear, Sitting Bear, Bear Skin, Living Bear, Afraid, Red Fly, One That Runs Through, He Crow, and four square, White Cow Rattler, World Looker, Thunder Skin and Sun Zac Woman* You see they run to “Bear” as naturally as if they were habitues of Wall Street I don’t know bnt what it would be a pious idea to turn them into that thouroughlare and its debau ching streets, for a day or two in full war-pain} and with weli-shapcned tomahawks. The moral atmosphere of the Metropolis would hardly be the loser from the effects of their visit • THE INCOME TAX. I see that you take pretty strong editorial grounds in favor of the abolishment of the In: come Tax. Tho subject received a pretty thorough over-hauling in debates yesterday on the new Tax BilL Tho drift of the debate, shows conclusively that it cannot be regarded as a political question. Men of the same politi cal faith in both parties are diametrically op posed to each other, and pronounce their re spective opinions with the utmost positiveness. Nearly every man who got the floor had an amendment to offer to the Committee’s bill, which provides for continuing the Tax at five per cent, with an exemption of fifteen hundred dol lars, instead of one thousand, as at present One mn wanted the whole section stricken out; another wanted the exemption increased to two thousand dollars, another to two thousand five hundred dollars, still another proposed to reduce the rate to three per cent, and a good many had amendments to offer fix ing the tax only on incomes arising from in vested capital, and exempting professional or business earnings; at last there were so many amendments, aud so much confusion on the subject iu the minds of members had arisen, that it was deemed best not take any vote un til to-day, in order that all the proposed amend ments might be printed. I think tho vote will result in showing that the East and West will be in the main opposed and the toundness and justice of which ore recognized by modern writers, as well as by the common sense of ihankind, which is this: \ “The subjects of every State ought to con tribute toward the support of the Government as nearly, {is possible, in proportion to their respective abilities, that is, in proportion to the revenue which they respectively enjoy un der the protection of the State. In the ob servation or neglect of this maxim consists what is called equality or inequality of taxa tion.” This role, I say, is not only indorsed by great writers upon this question, bnt recommends itself to the sense of justice of every man. Now, try the income tax by this role, and you find it to be a righteous tax, a just and equal tix. It takes nothing from any one whose in come and profits do not exceed $1,500 per an num, and from all who have an income of more than $1,500 it proposes to take but five per cent of the surplus over aud above the $1,500.' It takes only from the surplus wealth. It does not press down with leaden weight upon the head of poverty, or invade with ruth less hand the home of the poor to extort its pittance from the hard earnings of honest toil. It goes only to- the house of opulence, and takes only where there is much left Tried, then, by the fundamental rule or maxim of tax ation 4>is a most equal and just system of tax ation. It is well and truly said by a late writer, Amasa Walker, L.L.D., in his work upon po litical enconomy, in speaking of the income tax: •Of all modes of taxation this is the most just and equitable. Every man can afford to pay according to his income, and ought to. i no other perfect standard of taxation, none which does not inflict more or less hard ship and injustice. Were it to supersede an other forms of taxation, perfect equality would be established and property and labor would each bear its just slrnre of the public bur dens.” And again, the same distinguished author says: “This tax is iu perfect accord with the first maxim laid down by Adam Smith, that ‘every man should be taxed according to the revenue he derives under the State;’ and also consist ent with every other principle we have stated. It is ‘clear and plain to the contributor and every other person. The income tax payer knows when and how much he pays, and it can be collected as conveniently and econom ically as any other.” •Now, sir, in view of these facts, could we go home and tell our constituents that we had re moved from the shoulders of the wealthy the income tax, but had kept upon the people the tax upon their tea, their coffee, and their su gar? For one I will not I am in favor of lifting the burdens from the labor and the in dustry of the country. I do not so much wonder at gentlemen who represent New York city advocating the ubolition of this income tax, because, by reason of the accumulated wealth and capital of that great city, it pays a large proportion of this tax; and while they must see the justice of the tax, yet I have norer yet seen any people who would pay taxes if they conld avoid them; but I must say that I am surprised that any western man should advocate the abolition of this tax. On the other hand Mr. Archie is his sptoffi says: I need only recite several short rules from t^iat erudite economist, Adam Smith. He says: “The tax which each individual is bound to ■ ought to be certain and not arbitrary. flunanf isjwiil, tlwipunwcf pnywwii the quantity to be paid, ought to be clear and plain to the contributor and to every other peron. - “fjvcry tax ought to bo levied ut tho tune und iu the mntmer in which it is most conve nient for the contributor to pay it “Every tax ought to be so contrived as both to take out aud to keep out of the pockets of the people os little os possible over and above what it brings into the public treasury of the State.” So you see that out of Adam Smith you can prove and sustain either view of the cose you chance to take. For myself, I am very mnch disposed to agree with the views of Judge Loughridgc. THE GEOBGIA BILL Still rests quietly iu the pocket of the Recon struction Committee. When it will be called up and disposed of, is os difficult to predict with certainty, us to foretell the weather of an April day, a week in advance. The very sensible*and direct letter of Gov. Bullock, which was published here a fortnight ago, cannot fail to have a good effect on the mind of every Republican who will Like the pains'to read it We are enjoying to-day another exhibition of the outbreaking spirit of rebellion in Virgi nia, precisely corresponding to manifestations of the same spirit in your State. A Richmond correspondent of the Washing ton Chronicle sends the subjoined account of the devilish attempt to murder Hon. Charles H. Porter, Republican representative from the 3d district of that State. * Mr. Porter was passing up Broad street, in the neighborhood of Ninth, in company with Mr. Humphreys, collector of customs, when Patrick Woods, one of Mayor Ellyson’s detect ives, walked up and requested Porter to step into a neighboring saloon and take a drink, at the same time stating that his name was “Pat Woods.” Mr. Porter declined to drink, saving he was in a hurry to leave for Washing ton ou tho evening train. These words were scarcely out of his mouth when Woods struck him a severe blow—evidently with knnckles— the feed, cutting through one side ot his se. Woods continued striking at him until Porter, recovering himself, canght the would- be ossassiu and threw him some distance from him. With this. Woods drew his revolver, ex claiming: “I will kill you anyhow, you Eadi- ical Fortunately, some of the crowd caught Pat’s arm. In the meantime, Porter jumped upon the platform of a pass ing street car, bleeding from tho nose, eyes and mouth; but the conductor, fearing, no doubt, public opinion would condemn him for sheltering this earnest Republican, ordered him off the car. Woods, finding Porter had escaped, mode an attack upon CoL Humphreys, bruising him badly; for be it known that no one appear ed tQ dare hold this villain. Mob law has reigned supreme in Richmond since election day, and no prominent Republican feels him self safe unless fully armed, and in company with friends. A special dispatch received from Richmond st night relative to the assault, gives sub- antialiy the same version of the attempted assassination, and says: “Neither of the par ties attacked were armed. Tho attack was utterly unprovoked. No word was nttered by cither Mr. Porter or Mr. Humphreys, but of a friendly character—the question of politics was not referred to at alL Six or eight men have been shot down or at within a few days, on the New Era.] WASHINGTON. Washington, June 6.—There is not a word of truth iu the statement telegraphed from this City in Associated Press dispatches on Saturday! night that the Reconstruction Committee by a vote of 8 to 7, had agreed to ml the Georgia Bill, so as to require an elec libn ih November next The Committee b since agreed upon a bill for tho ad- f Georgia, similar to that of Mississip pi, Virginia and TeXas with an amendmant authorizing the organization of militia, and have taken no action on the bill since. Tho bill will bo reported and put* ou its passage as soon as the other measures, now before the House, will permit Gen. Butler made an in effectual attempt to put the bill on its passage last Friday. The House is now fully occupied with business presented by the Chairman of the Committee of Ways aud Means, and ap propriations. The Rev. Dr. Collier arrived here on Thurs day night, and left for his home in Ohio on Saturday evening. The Dr. expressed him self very freely in conversation with members of Congress, while here, in favor of sustaining Gov. Bullock and the Republican organiza tion in Georgia, and in opposition to any amendment forcing an election this fell. BUSINESS AND LOCAL NOTICES. As ounce of preventive is worth :i pound of core.

In the former the first process of digestion takes place, Under the action of that powerful solvent, the gastric juice.— Thence the food, converted into a pulp, passes into the duodenum, where it is subjected to the action of the bile or gall, flowing from the liver, and of the fluid gjnerated by the pancreas, or sweetbread of the sys tem. These secretions separate the nutritions por tion from the rest, and it is then taken np by the ab sorbent vessels and conveyed iuto the channels of cir culation in the form of venons blood, while tliq waste matter is discharged through tho bowels. Unless all these processes are duly performed, disease of some sort is inevitable, and the best of all medicinal agents for preserving or restoring the tone and regulating the action of the three organs—(the stomach, liver and in testines)—by which the three-fold work is carried on, is Hostettcr’s Stomach Bitters. Indigestion is gener ally accompanied by constipation, and tho gentle ca thartic operation of the Bitters is no less important in 1 of this kind, than its tonic effect upon the stom ach and tho biliary gland. Beauty of person as well as health, depends in no small degree npon tho regulari ty of the excretive functions. A sallow complexion, a thick, opaque coarse akin, a tainted breath, rush of blood to tho head, lots of memory, headache, and ex treme mental depression, are tho usual accompani ments of coativeneas. A course of the Bitters will in fallibly relieve, aud finaUy banish these obnoxious symptoms, while invigorating the stomach and pro moting healthy action in the liver. This genial stom achic and alterative, strikes at disease in its primary sources, the assimilating, secretive aud expulsive or gans, and the cures it effects are consequently thorough and complete.
