of the board asking him to resign the po-
sition of county school commissioner, for
the reason that damaging reports had
been circulated connecting the commits
sioner with such things that were unbe-
coming such an officer.
A letter from the commissioner to the
board was put in evidence, denying the
reports most emphatically and demanding
an investigation before the board. Also

to her, sometimes getting ready answers,
and at others scarcely getting any answer

ably, and his voice was pitched on a high
key at times. He finally succeeded in
wringing out of the woman some testi-
mony favorable to the defense. The prose
cution was not content with these answers

that the witness refused to answer where

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 21.-Gov. Atkinson

SETTLES QUESTIONS IN CAUCUS.
Council Back in It's Old Ways of Do
ing Business.

At the meeting of Council last night an
other of the many instances of discussing
matters in caucus which pertain neither
to public health nor finance occurred. 1t
was the discussion on the question Of
granting the Central Railroad a franchise
over part of River street.
The result of this is that property own
ers and others interested in these matters
are shut out of the meetings, and hear
nothing except the cut and dried proceed
ings the board agreed upon before going
into open meeting. Mild disgust is often
expressed by interested persons, who go
to hear the views of aldermen on ques-
tons, only to find the board coseted
While the matters passed upon are at
times incidentally discussed in open meet
ing, still there are few who care to wait
outside until II o'clock 20 hear what is
supposed to take place in open meeting
But for some months the board has en-
tirey set aside its resolution to discuss
only matters relating to public health and
finance in caucus, and considers every
thing under that general head.
1t was stated the board had no inten-
ton of disregarding the resolution, but
had been allowed to watt into the custom
of transactng all business in caucus. The
question as to what snail be considered
is of course with the Mayor. but it is by
consent of the entire board that the meet
ings proceed behind closed doors. And
when the doors are thrown OPEN there
is at times a cyclonic rush to finish which
remarkably lacks resemblance to the long
drawn out proceedings in caucus.
1t Is said the board will either have to
open the doors or stand in the unenviabe
attitude Of not living up to its resolves.
The effect of holding an all night caucus
has already resulted in the public losing
all interest in Council meeting Where
there were scores of citizens present dur
ing the open meeting sessions, there are
now none.

All Honor to Joe Wheeler.

1t is stated circumstantially that the
distinctive 'hero of Santiago" is Gen.
Joseph Wheeler, who was born in Au-
gusta. But for him, SO the story goes,
Gen. Shafter, who was aboard ship
during the critical period of the fight,
might have listened to opportunities
for ordering aretreat. Officers begged
Wheeler to retire the command, but
he refused, and sent dispatch to
Shafter urging him to turn deaf ear
to any advice locking 10 anauiiunuent
Of the contest. Had Gen. Beauregard,
who was sick in the rear at the battle
of Shiloh, refused to order retreat
from the river bank where Bragg had
the Federal army cornered, Grant and
his entire force would have been cap
tured. The late Col. Schaller told the
writer that Gen. Bragg, when he re-
ceived Gen. Bcauregard's order, was
so indignant that he broke his sword
and sullenly obeyed fatal command.
All honor to Joe Wheeler, the Ex-
Confederate, for his undaunted firm
ness. Honor to Shaftcr for refusing
to issue an order for retreat Some
of these days the bronze statue of
Gen. Wheeler, as he stood firm and
unfiinching 1T Santiago, will adorn the
city of Washington. augusta CArom-
