Special Carresponitence af The Chicago Tribune, ATLANTA, Ga, Doe, 1.—Atlanta worded me most excellent oppurtuultics to obtain a ylew of the South as a wholo, It contalns represen tives noarly all the while now of about every Southern State. In and about Attanta Lanlkod with a furge number of people of all classes, frum the common colored farm-hund to tho Pprominont business and professional man, Tho information which was thus obtulned was much more satisfactory, and gave te a mitch more necttrate {dea of tho condition and needs of the country, than I was ublogto obtain in any other way. Of courac, tho testimony of those wit+ nesses was contlicting to # certain oxtent, und was ovidently colored in certain instunees by tho prejudices and pruditections of those who spoko; but, by classifying arid disorlminating, 1 image Jned f was ably to form a pretty fair idea of tho subject under consideration. . ONE OF THE BESTINFORMED MEN I met in the South I4on the policu-farce in Atian= tn. Ho iso native Georgian, and resided upon a farm in tho cotntry until tho lust few yeurs. Ne took wwe about tho city, potuting out tha low- down resorts both for whitea ond blicks, and lscussed the subject uf the past and prosont of tho State of Gourgia with ne much philosophy ns any mnntimet, He fs, like all Southerners, do- oldedly prejudiced against the negro, and speaks ay though bla inforiority was a thing to be taken without question, It was evident here, as dlae- wherg, that a culured man {is much moro likely to bourrested for trivial offenses than a white mun, ft ts only neccesary to imagine that a colored man is going to do something wrong, and bo fa immediately put tnder arrest. Tho Nth and squator in whieh many of tho Atlanta negroes Ivo ure boyond discription. Wo found ono family ina little room ina basement that uppearcd very dawp aud uncomfortable. My friend, the policomun, rapped at the door. “Who 's dur?” came from within. “Polleproun. Open the dour." ‘That word was tallsmante. The door was tii- mediately uubolted, Tho Interior of tho room was NOT MORE THUAN TEN NY TWELVE FERT. Within that spnco all the operations of keeping houso were perforined, A stove, a bed. an old cbiir or two, some stools, a cupbonrd, and 1 few ainalicr urticles, composed tho furniture. ‘Th Iunintes wore o iniddie-agod muscular colored man, and a woman evidently considerably younger, Thoy wora sitting, without a Hubt, befuro tne small firo Inthe stove. The polico- man had told ma that thiswas one of the bad characters of tho city, before wo reached his habitation. After the dbor was opened tho fot- lowing conversation took placo: “What woman fa that?” by the policeman, “She ts one who has been doing some wushlug for me,” from tho houschuider, “0 sho is, hey? Wht reut do you pay here?" “two dollars a month.” “ Have you seun Joo Williains Intaty."* “No—he aiu't beon yer forsumo days.
