Atlanta, October 27.—A mill tary scandal, which has bson smonl dering here for several day#, comes out officially to-night. Four member* of ths Gate City Guards, the company that won the Orst money In the Interstate drill here Friday, are to be aonrflmar tialled on the charge of conduct un becoming officers and gentlemen They have already, by order of Adjutant-General Kell, been sus pended from duty* The four men Capt. A. C. Sneed; Orst lie# tenant Charles M. Roberts, aud Privates B. H. Miles aod J. H Spillman. The facta briefly told are these: One- of the judges, Lieut McDon ald, stationed at Auburn, Alabama, reported to Lieut. Colonel Calhoun of Sneed'a battalllOB, that Captain Sneed and these other three men had attempted to bribe the men printing the official programme to furnish them a copy of it. The printing was dose at Auburn, and conclusive evidence that * all four were concered In the attempt was furbished. Adjutant General Kell promptly Instructed. Colonel Calhoun to suspend tbt-fhsr men from doty. Tlile order pas sus pended until after the drill, In order to give the company a fair chance. * It appears the men fslled to ob tain a copy of the programme. At any rate the programme was changed entirely by the jndges, to be oerkffn the Gourds went Into.the drill with no undue advantage The victory was won fairly by- the Guards. After ths drill* was. ovor the order, suspending the men from duty, was carried out. Official oharges and, specifications were preferred to-night, ordering the court martial. A strong effort is being made to bush up the affair, but Col. Cal houn states positively to-night that thlsoaunot he done. Tbeaffklrfs the more Important because the Guards won the first prise, the judges all agree, through the excel ienco of Bneed aa^aptalo None but these four m*n are be lieved to have been concerned in the affair.

Yesterday morning dirt was brok en ou the foundation of the new two-story building of the Amerleus BOcial Athletic Club. It .will be located on Jackson street Just below A. J. Buchanan's residence. It will have aa elegant basement, a ground floor and a dancing hall above, and when com pleted will be one of the most con veniently arranged and hatfflsomtfit buildings In tbeeity. The erection of this building ihows ths pluck and energy of our oung men. They have contracted ’or all of the material, which la be Ing placed on the ground as fast as posslbls. Mr. Knight, who cams to the city a short time since to su perintend the erection of the new hotel, lias been secured to gtve ths !work bis personal supervision. The Club has decided not to give but ths erection of the building to a j contractor, but to go ahead and do the work themselves by hired me chanics and laborers. Those who havp been doubting that the building would be erected can now hush thslr kicking and •lend a helping hand to make it a success.

They are damning testimo ny, unices—as livings ton claims— they turn out to be forgsrlse.'- They must have a serious efl*ect on the result of the election for con- gran on tba 4th, and Livingston can poselbly be beaten. It «*ll be notloed In tb* circular that the burdeqot proof reeta upon U>* John Llvlngeton-Naw York' Republican crowd. They claim that L. F. Livingston wrote certain lettere. They print alleged copies of these lettere; ad mlttlng that th* originals are loet. In other words, John Livingston and Mathew B. Quay elate that' F. Livingston has dons so-and-so. Their statement Is unsupported by any evidence yet disclosed. But th* letter* are shrewdly pat; shrewdly forged, It forged at all. They must have some effect, Ofcoursotho publication of the circular Is the talk of the town to day; developments are largely awaited. There Is In Atlanta a letter writ ten by John Livingston that goes far towards reputlog bis own affi davit. In it be says, In snbstanee, that ha "baa bad a long correspon dence with L. F.
