othrre to ateumt a tank that they
are not willing to accept. We
would like for tbi« great-discoverer
of municipal mare’* neat* not to
OUB CITY FATHERS ATTACKED.
In another column a corrvapond-
ent baa teen lit to severely Jcenaurc
the mayor and council of our city.
••Anti-Jobbery" evidently hat a
ipite against the Citizen's ticket, < r
at least tome gentleman thereon,
and il he gave it hit support at all
it wat begrudgingly given. We
will set out by stating that the Citi
zens’ ticket hat only or.e majority in
council, and the absence of but a
tingle membur gave the other tide
the power. Tbit it why the city
a torney wat tc-instatcd, after alio -
ithing hit office. One of the alder
men on the Citizens' ticket Watties,
and the other tide, having a majori
ty, elected an attorney;and we will
say that they were perfectly con
sistent in to doing, at the member!
that day in the majority had voted
against abolishing'the office. The
commission paid Mr. J. II. Ruckei
for telling the public school bond (
wat given under the tollowing
circumstances: In accordance wiib
t ic law on the subject the hones
Were advertised for tale and bids
asked. On the day appointid
c juncil met to rereive said bids.
There were several ol them. Mr.
R't bid Wat the lowest, but he de
manded the usual broker's commit
tal! lor placing the securities. A
calculation was made, and it wat
found that there wat a saving ol
icveral several hundred dollais in
accepting hit oiler. Ol course the
lowest bid waa accepted, and it wa>
Mr. Rucker's. As to not publish
ing what the money wut voted for
in the papers, if our correspondent
had taken the trouble to inform
himsclt before making hit attack,
he would have seen that bills air
nevrr itemized it the published pro
ceedings, but only the names and
amounts given To itemize ac
counts would take up coiumns ol
the papers, and entail an unnecessa
ry expense on the city, at the bills
are ail on tile in the clerk's office,
and any tax-payer has the right to
ace and examine them. These
bonds were floated at j per cent,
an 7 per cent, ia t te lowest rate at
which nny previous administration
h d negotiated city loans. If -May
or Reaves or the Finance commit
tee, at the correspondent intimates,
had detired to enter into a coalition
w th Mr. Rucker, by which they
would rob the city ol $500, it teema
to ut that they would have struck
for a little larger interest- As to
the fee paid Capt. W. W Thomas
for plana and specifications of our
public school bjildingt, we know
r nothing about the mat er further
than it was left in the bands ol a
c umnittce of three honest and
prominent members of council, out
of whom is bound by peculiar and
warm ties to “Ai,t-Jobbery.’
And besides, L'apl* Thomas
would not hayc made
tortionate ci.a-gcs against the
city. We know that the price paid
him is not in excess ol what other
cities and counties give for such
Work, and in our estimation it wat
seasonable enough, in face of the
fact that he had twice tu entirely
change bit ph m, and he must ex
ercise a gener.l super. I ion over
the buildings for nearly a year,
while they are in course of con-’
struction. A cheap architect, like
a cheap doctor, it generally a poor
Investment. It amuses u, to lca j
what •‘Anti-Jobbery” baa to say
about aldermen taking ”salariea,"
when he was one ofthe; most ar-
dent endorsers of the reeoltfticn
When it patted. If 0U r correipon-
dent feels that there is any great
fortune in managing the city affairs
fur *to a year, wc are willing to
resign lo-day and use what influ
ence wo may possess to have him
d cted in our place. Tue pittance
Athens pays her aldermen it a verv
saiall compensation (bribeamoau of

C Hinting the abuse of such unties
•as “Ami-Jobbery.” The very mea
Wbo most prate about salaries, would
refuse to serve the city themselves
stop where ha has, but reduce to
writing everything that he can find
the least suspicious ia the official
acts of our city council. Don't .in
dulge in any vague insinuations
that there it a great deal yet behind,
too numerous for enumeration.”
Our space is at j our service. Tell
ut all that you know.
That our Mayor and council Have
ina-Je mistakes we do not pretend
to deny. It is human that they
sliould do so; but we do assc p t that
lot a member of the tody has been
-uilty of corrupt pru-.ticer—as our
correspondent insinuates and no on
will believe it. The writer of this
editorial lias the honor to be one of
he representatives from the second
ward, and if“Anti-Jobbery’’intern s
insinuate tbs', in either hia
nTic'al or privu'e capacity, he has
b en guilty of any act unbecoming
an honest man and a gentleman, he
wilfully and slanderously misrepre
sents us. We feel that the other
members of the body are fully able
to defend their own honor, that has
been so unjustly assailed. “Anti-
Jobbciy" evidently feels an enmity
against some individual member of
c undl, and we think it would have
been fairer and more courageous
in him to have singled out the ob
ject of h:» attack, than have assailed
th.- e-itire body, in the unwurran ed
nunner that he lias. If he will but
t ke the trouble to inform himself
ie will *ee t hat over *3,coo have been
.avecl ti the city already this year,
and that our municipal government
is honestly and faithfully adminis
tered. The entire body wants to do
rig':t, and when they make a mis-
akc.arc always prompt toacknowl
edge their error and right it. The
idea of Mayor Reaves and the gen
tlemen 011 his board entering into a
combination to wrong the
tax-payers, Is a charge too ridicu
lously sltridcrous to need dcniel.
We do not suppose there is a man
in Athens who would give ear to
such bosh. No doubt seme of the
icts of our city lathers deserve crit
icism, hut when Mayor Reaves is
compare?) with Boss Tweed, and
the councilman to the thic. ing crew
at his side, every discerning man
will readily Sec that there is some
thing more behind ‘'Anti-Jobbery's' 1
communication than a 1 honest de
sire to criticise the acts of public ser-
vuntt.
