'Wo understand that all the books and wauchers of any importance belonging to tho State Rood Offloe, havejbecn turned ovor to the Board of Commissioner ap pointed by the Legislature to investi gate and audit claims against tho Road— this, upon the order of the Governor, who gave tho same by telegraph from New York or wherever he msy have been at the time he gave the order. That highly important ‘Taos Book” whioh 11 tamed np missing" while Mr. Medals was absent bnt a few moments a few days ago, as was noticed in Tee Sum is also among the books given np. It that Mr. A. L. Harris had the book. He makoa a written statement whioh is published in some of the city papers, that ho took it, because he had a right to the hook and its use, and needed it to assist in making np tho Report whioh he and tho other Railroad officials say they are now preparing, to be laid before the next Legislature; hut he fails to tell why he took it by the forciblt means which it is said he resorted to—that of brooking open look. We do not know that this report is true, but have heard it so di rectly that wo believe it, and here men tion it If it is not true, wo will cheer fully make the correction when the fact is made known to us. Bnt wo understand that tho Governor telegraphs—sending a long dispatch at the people's expense, when he ought to be here to give the order—directing ev erything in the way of books, papers, Ac., to be tamed over to the Board of Com missioners on State Road claims. This Board consists of Benjamin Con ley, of Augusta, late the Radical Presi dent of the Senate; Judge Dawson A. Walker, of Dalton, understood to be a vary decided Radical, and Maj. George Hillyer, who is tho Democratic Senator elect to tho next Legislature from this Senatorial District Mr. A. B. Calberson, an Attorney of this eity, was made Sec retary or Olsrk of tho Board. Mr. Cul berson claims to bo a Democrat We understand the Governor, in his dispatch, stated that he suspected, or was informed, that something was wrong before ho left, anti hail re- quested Copt. Hosier Blodgett to investigate the mailer and tee vhat he could discover.— Blodgett had Fry arrested, it seems, bnt allowod him to escape l>y forfeiting his reoognizanco in tho pitiful sum of 82,000. If Oapt. Blodgett was in earnest in de siring that man's case to be tried beforo our Courts, why did he allow Fry to es- oapo ? Why did ho not have him re-nr- rested under {another chnrgo tho mo mont he 'gave bail iu the one case, as was dono with Mr. Hotchkiss the other day ? Thero are plenty of cases against Fry which no doubt wero known to Capt Blodgott at the time, and ho could havo had him arrested on perhaps as many os a dozen distinct charges, each requiring a $2,000 bond. This would liavo held him. If the object was to put Fry out of the way, where ho eould not bo brought into Court, either as a criminal, or os a wit ness, then we oan understand what was dono ; but if tho intention really was to arrest and punish a public robber, thou we cannot understand Capt. Blodgett's oonduct. We have no desire to do any one in justice, or make any unjustifyable insinu ations, but the earnings of tho State Boad during tho administration of Fos ter Blodgett havo gone somewhere be sides into the State Treasury, and he ought to be able to tell where that money is, whether he can or not. It seoma also that most gigautio frauds and forgeries have Ihh*h perpetrated by those who wort* in some way connected with tike ruml/iuttisted by outside i unties. He ought to have detected those* forgeries while they were going on ! It is nothing to his credit (hot they were ferreted out and proeff <f thh ft lets obtained by others, Inf ore he let it I# known\; and there is a certain amount of [I'esjHHisibiiHy for this robbery from which he can not jiossiMy esoqnf—oven if ho should be able to prove positively that he knew nothing of it at tho tamo. No reward has l»eon offered for the arrest of Fry. Who is trying to catch him ? Why does not Cfov. Bullock offer a re word as largo as he has heretofore for some of those imaginary “Ku-Kluxes?” Why is he not at his post ?

The case of Win. Hobbs and Martha Johnson, convicted as a white man und a negro woman living together in a state of fornication, was brought before Judge Erskine, of the U. H. District Court on habeas corpus, and is set down for trial on Tuesday morning, 22d, Thrasher A Thrasher & Oglesby for complainants and District Attorney Irwin for Htate. The case of Billy Patterson, for carry ing concealed weapons, was found guilty and fined five dollars; District Attorney Irwin for the State and Finley for tho defense. The case against Hchurman, for selling soda water on Humlay, was dismissed. Tho Courty and jury believing it to l>e as necessary to health as a dose of salts, and consequently put it down as one of the necessities on a hot day; Ellis rad Mil- ledge for the defendant, Irwin for the Htate. Case against Lizzie Patterson, for va grancy, resulted in a verdict against the defendant, and she was sent to the chain gang for twelvo months. Finley for Liz zie, and Dell & Irwin for State. A mistrial was entered in the case against Jacob Hopps, for forcible entry and detainer. Dell A Irwin for the State and Finley for defence. This closes the August term of this Court, in which over fifty cases have been disposed of in this district. This fact speaks for itself. Instead of having these cases crowd the Suporior Court, they are brought before this court, justico dealt out and expenses saved. The court meets at Jonesboro to-day, where it will probably be in session for a few days. The friends of the District Court sys tem ullcgo that it is a great saving to the Htate to havo no Grand Jury and no ex pensive routine, and expeditiously dis poses of u largo number of cases. Judge Lawronco is earnestly engaged in vindicating tho majesty of tho law, and punishing of offenders. Capt. Irwin, the District Attorney, is certainly a most efficient officer, who gives liis whole attention to tho duties of his office, which he is discharging to the satisfaction of the people. MAYOR’S COURT—SATURDAY* But very few arrests were made for tho Saturday levee, and tho Court was at a loss to know what to do. The fightiDg fluid of the city is getting much better. Heretofore one glass was equal to one fight, but owing to the watering process or tho inferiority of its stock, its fighting qunlitios are not near so great. Tho first coso was one continued from the day before. J. A. BROOKS had attended an auction, and made a bid on a lot of plunder put up. Brooks bid 15 or 20 cents, and tho auctioneer bid 25. Brooks thought this was coming the stock game on him too strong, and claim ed that he hod purchased the goods.— A small difficulty was tho consequenco, and Brooks invited any of them out aud ho would thrash them gentooly. Tho reply he got was from one of the party, who asked J. A. not to hurry off in such a way, os they would out a watermelon soon, and would give him a “slice.”— This mude him so Load that he went off. Tho Court, on tho testimony of a small laughing boy, let Brooks be dismissed. dr. Aimnai ootheb came up from Macon, Forsyth, Bear Creek aud other villages below, whore he had boon giving lectures in phrenology, free agency aud free love. Tho Doctor said ho was just from Honduras—had been all over tho world—was assistant surgeon on * tho steamer Alabama, and lots of other wonderful things. Ho had also becu to Chiua, where he learned to love opium. Ho was up for being drunk, but said ho had taken a dose of between three and four hundred drops of the mix ture, which always had the same effect as whiskoy did bpon him. Ho was a good talker aud good phrenologist. This lat ter accomplishment got him out of the trouble; while His Honor remembered the time when he used to turn an honest penny, in years gone by, by feeling of heads and granting charts os to their bump of combativeness, philoprogeni tiveness, cusuality, and tho various other sins which a man’s hood develops, and what a precarious existence suoh a call ing afforded, and he felt sorry for au old “chum,” and dismissed the case. 8.

And Why w*i TI1I1I Lad i'rlok, bnt It w«n't quite Take, yet awhile I Editors Atlanta Bun: About a week ago tho public were surprised upon bearing that Foster Blodgett had quietly caused the arrest of an inmate of his house, and who was connected with the State Road service as clerk to the purchasing agent, or some such capacity; also another per son iu this city, both upon a churge of cheating aud swindling the. Blab . At the time, knowing Blodgett’s ante cedents, it seemed strange; but the de velopments of the Hotchkiss trial gives quite a plausible reason for what he did. It seems that as long ago as thirty or forty days back, some of the parties en gaged iu the nefarious business became alarmed, or ‘ ‘conscience stricken,” and announoed their intention to “draw out,” by refunding the money they had received, and, if necessary, makings “clean breast” of it This, it seems, would have prominently exposed the said member of Foster Blod gett’s household (Joseph Fry)—an inti mate of himself and his son, Ed. Blod gett, and circumstantially strong suspi cion would have attached to both. It was necessary in some way to “head off” this exposure. Aud more, the action will bear this con struction: Was it not important to them to have Fry sent out of the way, where he could tell no tales? He might have been induced to turn States evidence against some one. Failing to “hush up’ or suppress the inevitable exposure, Blodgett had the parties arrested some days in advance; and as soon as a small bond of $2,000 could be signed, Fry took bis departure for parts unknown. Can any one for a moment suppose that if the Blodgetts wanted Fry commit ted or brought to justioe, he could have gotten off so easily? If ho had thus been robbing the Blodgetts individually, does any one KupiHiso ho could have, gotten off at all Why was he not arrested aud bound over upon different counts, as was the case with Hotchkiss, With every dis position to bo charitable, there is some thing very serious in this matter. Foster Blodgett is known to bo good nt onto tricks, but until he produces the body of Joseph Fry, I hardly think he can get any credit for proper motives in having that arrest made. The “trick” in tho Varney Gnskall case was fixed up tolerably well, but this looks very much like a l>otcli. Mcny think Fry is the last man whom tho Blodgetts w ould like to see back iu Atlanta. He might lx* troublesome to them. Detective. Tnat Auditing Committee. It seems that the work of this commit- lias not been dono as carefully as was de sirable. They passed upon and allowed at least one claim which was fraudulent, if not a forgery. They have also allowed their clerk to present claims beforo them—just as Fos ter Blodgett allowed Goskill to prosecute claims against the State Hoad while he was Blodgett’s clerk. We do not impugn the good faith of either of these gentlemen, and shall not do so until we have evidence sufficient to justify us in doing so, which wo hope and believe does not exist; but we call attention to the fact that enough severe scrutiny has not been exercised; and that one thing was allowed which seems to us should not have been, that Mr. Culber son himself should have refused to enter into.

This is an old, wealthy, popular and reliable firm, whioh lias heretofore been doing business iu Charleston.

This gentleman's name is familiar to the entire mercantile community of Georgia, South Carolina, aud many other States. He is one of the l*mt business men of Agusta, who has long enjoyed a high reputation for fair dealing aud oorrect business liabits, Hoe his cord, he has gone into the business of selling cotton exclusively, on oommission. Augusta is an old ootton market, and those who wish to sell, they oounot do better than to send him the oottou. Ceunty School Board. At a session of this Board at the City Hall ou Saturday there were a good many applicants for teachers. Judge J. M. Manning, Chairman of tho Committee of Examinations, reported favorably on the following applications, the first nine of whom were examined cm tho 12th instant, and they were passed by tho Board : G. W. Wright J. D. Coldough, J. H. Carte, Clebum Jones, M. Ptuett, J. D. Perry man, Lou. J. Wilson, D. E. Herron, Mrs. H. E. Doyle, Miss Alice Delpli, John M. Hetties, Miss M. E. Morris, Miss Annie J. Amur, Miss Hallie J. Flowers. The City Council on Friday night ap pointed the Mayor, Alderman McLen don, aud City Attorney Newman, as del egates to a Commercial Convention, to be held iu Baltimore. Is this a mere frolic, where those who are appointed as delegates can go at the city’s expense, and enjoy themselves hugely, doing neither the city nor the Htate any good ? If so, tho action was highly proper. But if it is intended to look after the crcantile interests aud trade of Atlanta and the South, why were not some of our best merchants, bankers, manufac turers or railroad men appointed on that committee ? The gentlemen who were appointed are very clever and worthy, but are not the men to represent Atlanta where her interests in connection with the trade of the country arc to be ably represented. What Uvea thin Menu 1 Ou Saturday last a negro man, (who is a hard-looking case), was tried before tho District Court on a charge of carrying concealed weapons, and convicted. Judge Lawrence, iu pussing sentence, remarked that owing to a confidential communication or message of some kind, from the Mayor, he would not inflict the punishment he would otherwise, but would impose only a nominal fine. What does this mean? Was this dirty creature a bungling secret detective in the^employ of tho city government? Wo would like to know. A Krltud In N«««l. Yesterday evening late a poor, lonesome looking white man was seen near the Macon depot, supported by tho strong arm of a big stout nigger. Tho white man was so “tired” ho could hardly walk, and the negro was helpiug him home. Sic transit. Moiling Mill Bond*.

LATEST. Nkw Yoke, August 20.—The domestic produce markets wero more active In the leading staples, al though prices have been very mncli unsettled and the fluctuations frequent. A* the produce exchange there haa been au advance in flours from spring wheat, while winter wheat flours have simply been firm. In whest there has been considerable move ment for export, and some largo sales been made to arrive. The market has been generally fl.m, although there were a few Intervals of weakness. A large part of the export purchases wore for the Contincut of Europe. Other grains fluctuated but little, and the movements wero not important. The bank statement is very unfavorable, and an analysis of the figures show that the banks have made a net loss of $4,238,472, and that they now hold only $10,131,050 above tho 25 per cent, required by law.
