./
Atlanta, October ll.-A greet deal lias been
laid about the corruption and frauds existing
la the city government of Atlanta, and very
damaging disclosures hare been promised the
public. The public is now engaged in watch
ing tin} performances of the city fathers in the
investigations now In progress. The city
fathers hare, In council assembled, been glar-
teg let each other lor several days, criminating
ggA recriminating. Bo far, however, to the
outsider, It appears to be a matter of mole hllli
dad mares' nests.
\ The alleged corruption under
Tve ligation relates to matters so small and in
/gome Instances so ridiculous, that the whole
/ affair Is taking on the appearance of a farce,
ft is amusing rasher than serious and proa
lias to rsault in nothing. If there Is corrup
tion or Jobbery in tbo city government
t be of a different character and of larger
“ pad. if
proportions than anything now developed. If
such exists, the public ought to know it, are
entitled to know it. and the Investigation
ought to take that turn if there Is anything to
base it upon. It would seem to be a very good
time for the citizens' reform ticket to put
/ In and indicate Just what they propose v> re*
i t jria, and if they allege corruption in the city
} government to expose it while the ball is in

investigation Into the offlclal conduct o'f those
connected with the city government may yet
accomplish something of that kind, and the
good sense of the people may be relied on foi
thereat At present, however, the people ev
idently need more light If there be more,
now is the time to turn it on.
The city council yesterday had a very Inter
esting and In some respects an Important ses
sion. An ordinance was adopted establish
ing the rate of speed at which drayi
shall be driven' within the city
limits. After N >vember 1st they are not to
move faster than a walk. As it is not the usual
thing for draws to Indulge In walking, either
within or without the city, limits, the speod
doubtless refers to that of the animals whose
business It Is to pull drays about town. After
November, therefore, the drays will present
quite a lively and exhilarating appearance.
It Is perhaps fortunate, In view of the general
effect. Hint it has not been the custom to paiut
these vehicles of.burdcn black.
A more Important matter was
a resolution appointing a committee con
sisting of three members of council and three
Cltlsens of Atlanta, not members, to coufcr as
to a proper system of sewerage and to devise
ways and means to perfect the same. It can
not be disguised or controverted that this has

of Atlanta depends lu a large measure upon its
successful solution. 1 have heard it intimated
that this will be made an important issue in
the next municipal contest, Thq sewerage

THE HOME OF TROU*
A Visit to Valdosta, Whero Cov. Troup
Lived and Died.
Dublin, Ojtober 8.—But little li known
abroad, as nothing has been written, of
Valdosta, the old home of an ex-Qovernor
and a noted Georgian, George M. Troup.
Situated about seven miles from this place
and near the Oconee river and upon a
gradually sloping elevation, higher by
several feet than the surrounding country,
is Valdosta, the home of one of Geor
gia’s greatest men.
The visitor or the traveler would never
guess that the lone log house standing out
in bold relief upon this cone-shaped hill,
was all that Temaiued of the habitation of
one who had held the highest position in
the councils of a nation; and when he is
informed that this solitary structure, iu all
of its roughness, was once the "grand
room.” the “ladies’ parlor,” the room In
which Cupid bent his bow and thrust ar
rows plucked from the quiver of the beau
tiful Grille Troup, afterwards Mrs. Dr.
Vigal, he wonld, ns I did, marvel, and
doubts would crowd themselvos upon his
brain.
As you approach this historic spot, there
are—
"No storied windows dlght.
Casting a dim or blazing light.”
The mound on which the bouse stood
S ves one a grand landscape view. Espec-
Ity was I impressed with the magnificence
of the scenery revealed from the south,east
and amitliweit. The lands from the toot
gradually taper downward for two or more
leagues and then as gradually an elevation
begins, and as far as the eye can reach, far
over in Montgomery county, it is feasted
to its fullest When Ivisiied this spot
it was at that hour when the imagination
it given play to retrospection, and perhaps
the beauty of surroundings are heightened.
One of the most gorgeous of sunsets lent
its presence, and I could almost imagine
that the king of day himself preferred to
linger awhile to cast his eye of molten fire
upon Valiosti and contemplate the
quietude of its surroundings. The build-
iug, it cannot be termed a mansion, was
not as I have said and as some
might suppose an imposing
structure, but they might be
equally surprised to know that Governor

Troop’. home consisted of nameroussmall
log lmta tnrown together. None ol the
apartments were ever celled or plastered,
except one. and this was the "grand
room." It is a fact worthy of repealing
—that the master and lord of Valdosta ab
horred a plank or brick house. He liked
free and fresh and plenty of nun ventila
tion, and therefore preferred the common

were never closed against the poor and
needy, the elc* or weary, but they con.-

At 8 o'clock the church was crowded to
its utmost capacity, to hear the Rev. J. L.

reminds one of some lone, weary and aged
sentinel, left on duty, true to the charge and
withering under old age’s touch. One
chimney stands also, made of native
sand rock, and it poses against the "grand
room.” Upon its back Is the inscription,
"G M. Troup, Jan. 1st. 1852,” at which
time this room was made an addition.
The well of water used by Gov.
Troup’s household is in nae to
day by one of h'.s former slaves.
Induced by curiosity to quaff from the
same libation which had cooled the lips
and tongue that spoke such burning, elo
quent truths, I« drew from its depths a
cooling beverage. It was from this home
that George M. Troup was called to Con
gress, to the executive chair of Georgia
and to the second highest place in the gift
of human power.
Governor Troup’s living was In keeping
with his rural home, and his manner ana
mode of dress equally as simple
His wnrdrobo was home-made, and "store
clothes” found no favor In his eyes.
At Valdosta some of the most prominent
men of the day were entertained in royal
style. Among that number I could men
tion Gen. Mirabeau H. Lamar, Randolph
Spaulding, Mansfield Torrence, Jas. Pink
ney Smith, Dr. Wm. McDaniel, CoLJas.
J. Jackson, and dozens of others
that I might enumerate, bat whose names
I do not now recall. The sideboard at
Valdosta was always filled with the best
wines and brandies, and th6 old Governor
never felt that he had dined unless he had
seen the sparkles upon his glass. One
characteristic of him was that be seldom
tasted of anything intoxicating before 11
clock, a. m., and then he made merry
with ihls friends.
Pages could ba written about Valdosta,
and a common newspaper article cannot
do it justice. I will leave it alone, standing
out in the the centre of a cultivated field,
where the cotton and corn grow a* luxuri
antly and as carelessly as if Valdosta had
onlv been the dwelling of the red man who
had pitched his tent upon its summit and
spent his hours chasing the timid fawn.

Of the United Statee Courts With
Trivial Cnees.
Judge James W. Locke, presiding la the
United States Circuit and Drlstrict courta now
lu session, is plain spoken in the matter of
burdening the docket of the District,Coart
with trivial case*. He regards It ai an outrage
perpetrated at a great expense to the govern
ment
The great majority of these cases are for
retailing liquor without having paid 4 the spe
cial tax thereon, and la two-thirds of the
eases one drink Is the causeof the afrest, and
Imprisonment and trial, all of which entails
heavy expense.
During the term there has been quite alarge
number of cases, and Judge Locke haa in two
or three InstancesorderadthvJury to bring in
verdict of not guilty, the. evidence being of
snch a flimsy end unreliable character. How
these caves multiply ^ Is best shown
by an Illustration. Scene, prohibition
county. John Smith has a Jug
of rum in the house, and Bill Jones, a lone
traveler passes by with a thirst for a drop of
the spirits. Smith does not want to give aw ay
his rum to strangers aad thus advert so the
fact that free rum can be had at his house, so
he sells it. The lone traveler, Instead of being
grateful, reports the case to some deputy who
Is handy and who probably sent him to the
house, and in a few days John Smith Is served
with a warrant charging him with retailing
yhig the sr"*'* *
llquor with jut paying the special tax. The
deputy subpoenas a number of witnesses who
mar or may not know anything abont
Smith • having sold the drink, and
the entire party Is marched off to Ma
con or Savanunh or Atlanta and carried
before a commissioner, who Is bound to com
mit or bind him over, because there Is a pos
•lbllity of bis being guilty. The witnesses arc
yald off and return home to oome again when
court meets, when they draw more pay. John
8m!th goes home mad and watches for a
chance to get eren. One of his neighbors
sella a drink and the case Is reported to the
handy deputy and the neighbor Is carried,
with a batch of witnesses, before the commis
sioner. The neighbor goes back home mad,
too. and soon tho deputy has another case.
This is simply malicious prosecution, but it
makes business for tbo deputy and places big
figures after his name ou the pay-roll.
Judge Locke says were be perma
nent Judge in this district, he would
make a thorough lnvatlgatlon of methods
used for getting up these cases, and stop It in-
stanter. lie aald he did not know where the
blame was, but it belonged somewhere.
He. thought nearly all of the casea before
him for violating the revenue laws came un
der the jurisdiction of the state courta, for the
reason that the majority of them were from
prohibition counties whero a man could not
sell whisky at all, and there was no occasion
for taking out a revenue license. The Judge
whero there was a
ment w-s to protect the revenue
to work hardships niton tho pco-
cases from tho civil courts. As
atton docket, he said lu all the
cases brought before th'e grand jury, if there
were not sufficient evidence before that body
to find the accused guilty, there was not
enough to be used in a trial, and hence much
TWO RUNAWAYS
That Diffsr from tho Usual Run of Run
aways.
Macon is headquarters for runaways, nn<
the city would feel as if somethiug had gone
wrong should a day pass and soino mule or
horse fail to run away and smash things.
Usually these ruuaways amount to but little
more than a dash of a few liuudrcd yards,
smashed vehicle and a badly scared horse;
but yesterday furnished a couple that went far
out of the way of ordinary affairs of this kind.
The first was the dush of
horso pulling a wagon <
ton Avonuc. Two-thirds of tho runaways
in Macon occur on this street. Yesterday
morulug a uerfrn nun was driving down the
Avenue aud when about in front of Eugene
Edward’s toney saloon, his horso
break and ran at hts besl speed. Just
horse reached the lamp post fn front of John
the
ston's store, he turned suddenly and threw
the wagon upside dowu. The crlver was
thrown out, but he held on to the lines, and
„ w n with the* wheels in the
he Jumped on the upturned wagon and
mauaged to stop the fleeing and frightened
i Cherry street, between
Third and Fourth. Two horses attached to
Mr. R. A. Thomas's wagoq dashed off from
somowhero on Fourth street and turned
Jaqucs <k Johnson's corner without waiting
for Mr. Thomas. On their rapid way up
Cherry street they ran into a wagon drawn by
two mules, driven by an old negro named Oli
ver Thomas. Ho n It happeued, no one could
tell, but the left-hand horse leaped

A Historic Saddle.
Ou next Tuesday Mr. W. M. Wimberly, in
behalf of Dr. W. L. Jones, will return to Hon.
Jefferson Davis the saddlo used by him while
trying to escapo through Georgia.
When Mr. Davis was on his way from Wash
ington county and just before he waa captur
ed, he passed through Houston county. While
watering his horso at a spring, thirteen miles
from Macon, he saw a boy and askod him if he
wanted a pretty saddle. His object was to turn

TWO CRUTCHES.
A Well-Known Atlantian Lays
Them Down.
A Case Wherein n Prominent Republican
Figures Somewhat,
Wo mentioned yesterday that Chief Wiley
was holding a negro named A. C. Banks
■tractions from Sheriff Doster of Upson
ty, and that It was not known upon what
charges. Tho chief telegraphed the sheriff of
tho arrest and last night Mr. Tom Sheppard, of
Upson county, came dowu with the warrant
for Banks. Tho warrant is for larceny from
the house, and from Mr. Shenpard we learn
that tho larceny consist* iu taking an timbrel
la from tho office ol Judgo Amos Morrill, or
dlnnry of the county.
If Banks is an umbrella thief, and it can ho
f raven, ho Is the first umbrella borrower
i
ever caiuo to grlof.'nnd. enjoying such a
rare distinction, it i^||robabto that the author
ities of Upsou are wifi In g to go to tho expense
of telegraphing and sending a man to Macon
forhltn, The umbrella as a general thing Is
common property, and belongs to tho mau
who gets It first. Very few men, in a ntlu
storm, if called upon, could swear to carrying
their own umbrellas. TUc«.rlgiual is always
lost, ami man is not often very particular what
duplicate ho picks up.
Banks, who will, If convicted, enjoy a na
tional reputation, Is a Republican school
teacher, and seems to be in bod odor In tho
county. It is charged that at tho recent elec
tion In that county he took tho oath and sworo
that he hod paid hi* poll tax, and yet there
are two 11 fas. against lilm for tho tax. He is
a bright and InttdUgcnt negro, and, beyond
his ambition to become a loader in Republi
canism, no matter at what cost, is said to be a
worthy man.
He will bo carried to Thomaston this morn-
log.

much more than ten years old.
The other day he appeared in a new role,
lie saw a country boy seated on a wagon hold-
ng an umbrella over him. Willie began to see
how many time* he could knock tho umbrella
out of the boy's hand with a rock. Four times
In succession ho succeeded and before be
