THE DAILY , SUN. Tiiubsdat Morning N ovemiier 2 ttCNinr Advertisements always found on First Pane; Locvl and Business Fijians on Fourth Page. THE CAPITOL. To couceive the whole of the mcauiug of the word “change,” one haa only to tall up a memory of what the last Legis lature was, and, with the memory distinct hi hi* mind, go up to the State House and look upon the body which assembled yesterday. It is change of the most dis tinct and pleasant character, change in corn position, change oi faces, change of color, and, more important of all, a change of purpose. Withal, it is a most agreea ble change, and one that promises well for the future of the State. Faces that were familiar aro no longer in those halls. In the Senate a new face, and a more friendly-looking one, is on the President’s stand. The Behemoth no longer occupies his accustomed seat on the floor. Tom Speer—Tom, the lively aromatic Badical—the faoetious man of the old Senate—has quit his Sen atorial ways, and gone to mis-representing a Georgia District in Congress. Dun ning—honest Dunning, who could stand erect in his scat, and in the excitement of eloquent debate, Blap the sole of his left bool with all the fervor of loyal liud- icolism—is thero no longer. Hunger- ford, who occupied two days in saying what might have been said in five min utes, is now on a far different ‘'gunge,” and no longer thunders his oratory like a new Cicero. They aro gone—gone so far into the past that fame, with the trump of a thousand Gabriels, will never be able to resurrect them, and again set them up as Mentors to frame laws to govern the people of the State. In the House the saintly Caldwell is no more. The dainty Tweedy, who dresses like a dandy and legislates like a — any thing — is among the departed. The illustrious Skowliegunito lias packed his Representative carpet-bag, and, for all the public knows, or cares, is now heeling it somewhere among the hills of his own State of Maine. McWhorter, paunchy and dull, no loDger thunders away with his gavel. Even the begemmed Johnson has left his scat to be contested by two others of the same name. They,and others of the iilk, have gone—have departed tliia political life—and the seats which they once occupied, will be occupied by them no more forever, and all the people say “amen," and while looking after their retreating reputations, all unite in one soft-aounding, but exuberent rale, rale, lunge vale. Some of the old faces are back—some of which are welcome. They bore the brunt of the battle when the battle was the sorest. They fought like Spantans when outnumbered two or three to one, and when they went down, it was with colors flying and .with an echo of defi ance thundering in the ears of those by whom they wero “over-powered—not conquered." It makes one feel glad to see them back, and pleasant must it be to them to look over tho seats and see friends by the score when foes were once as thick. For the first time since Reconstruction came, the Legislature of Georgia approxi mates a representation of the intelligence and wishes of the people. Before,it seemed as if the highways and by-ways of the nation had been raked for men who wero post willing to misrepresent flic peoplo and frame laws that were opprobrious to the tastes and damaging to the real in terest of Georgia’s proper people. Men who had no particle of sympathy with ns— men whose intelligence barely fitted them for the com-field or cotton-patch—men who wero the avowed enemies of the peoplo of Georgia, were there os our Representa tives, framed laws for us, and squnndored money, as if greenbacks wero “as thick as autumn leaves in Vallaiqbrosa.” Now it iq far cliff-rent. A (cfeorgian may look upon either branch of tho present Assembly, and feel that his friends predominate. Tho men who now oomposo “the assembled wisdom of tho State,” nro men who nro identified with tho State—men who aro interested in having good laws—men who were citi zens of Georgia years ago, and who ex- j>ect to bo citizens of Georgia for years to come—men who will do to trust with the making of our laws, and the man agement of onr political affairs. Though there are a few black sheep in the flock, they are in a hopeless minority, and only await their turn to pass off the political stago forever. With this understanding of what was and what is, of the past and the present, one can hardly help exclaiming, with tho poet: ••Bing out fit* qM. ring in the n*w, Uiiitf! inn>y belli, %ron the mow; The yea* ii going, lit bln* go— Ring out the fa'se, ring in the true. ' Ring out falsa prulo in place inti blood, The civic lUnuor and the ipito; Ring iu the lo\c of truth aud right, Ring in thi common lovo of good.” toed boot in the log of which was im printed the likeness of General Robert £. Lee, and this was to go into the Southern market A fine boot was then made with the picture of Stonewall Jackson, also imprinted in the boot-leg, and this was intended specially for the Virginia dealers. The firm then applied for u patent at tho office hero on their trade-marks. The examiners to-day de cided that the application could not bo granted, on the ground that these trade marks tended to encourage disloyalty in the South. Tho firm have taken an ap peal to the Commissioner. F:sk took tho field manfully in the New York riots, but now the Mans field is about to take him. Edward Horteli, a San Francisco portrait painter, shot himself through the head. Rumpled domesticity. MF* The delay of Alexis is explained. He stopped on the way to take in Ma deira. Is tho young fellow bibulous? B^.Tbe Cincinnati Enquirer, of yes terday, comes out for Thomas A. Sc :»tt for President. How big is tho Tom Scott movement, anyhow? This thing grows interesting. SgL Stokes has been called “tlio Ten nessee bald-eagle of Radicalism;” but recent developments have shown that ho deserves to be ranked above the other buzzards of his party. VQLTlic Macon Telegraph, being.in a correcting mood, says; “An article upon Kimball’s money was headed 'Macon and Brunswick Road,’ instead of 'Albanyand Brunswick Road.’ ” It can now correct some more, and may be it will get it right iu a few more trials. — B&x, The Courier-Journal remarks that “Whenever a poetical gem appears at tho head of the Small Talk, Alexander H. Stephens copies it into The Atlanta Sun,” and adds, “it isn’t good journal ism;” which charge is admitted, as it is not “good journalism” to copy anything from the Courier-Journal SUN-STROKES. “Vade Bullock.”—Macon Tele- graphs 1^. Three thousand public schools arc teaching tie Virginia young ideas how to shoot. |p%„ fho Courier-Journal calls the peo ple of Bangor, Maine, by the zoological title of “ Btmgorillua. ” And now Boston—tho hot-bed of loyalty—the seat of Fancuil Hall—the home of the Puritans and all that kind of thing, has mid herself open to the reproach of being disloyal. , "can such thing* to, Ami overcome ua like > lummer cloud, Without our .fMcm wonder.'* gSH... The Wasbiugtuu Chronicle says: “The Baltimore Saturday Night rebukes the fools in tbot city who still vituperate against ‘Yankees,’ ami says the place will become a provincial town unless this spirit is extinguished. Capital will not go Here to be sneered at.” To call a man a “Yankee” is a “capital” offence, there, is it ? _ text" Tho Savannah Neirs says: “It has been discovered that Atlanta time is ten minutes slow. Bnt wo suspect the whole thing is an advertising dodge.’’— Of course it is "an advertising dodge;” but what sort of a “dodge” is it on tho part of Savannah that induces her to re main twenty years slow. Oaf Why did not Bullock issue a proc lamation of pardon in favor of himself before he abandoned his office of “Gov ernor of Georgia and Commander-in- Chief of the Army and Navy thereof ?” True, he had not been tried and convict ed, but cut-off pardons linvo been issued in his day and generation, and be might as well have issued ono in his own case. Df%,.“Wliat is the matter with Idaho?” asks the Courier-Journal, which is moved to the conundrum by the fact that the third appointee of Grant has resigned the position of Governor. The Courier- Journal remembers that Bard was the first man appointed and first to resign; and it ought to have aenpp enough to know that aqy position that Bard would resign is not worth having. Mrs. Leary, of Chicago, stoatly denies the story that the great fire was caused by the upsetting of a kerosene oil lamp in her stable while ahe was milk ing her cows. She says the stable must huvo been fired by incendiaries. She always milks by day-light." Well, it is barely possible that Mrs. Leary’s cow may bo robbed of all her fame, bqt tho claims of kerosene liavu not been, and never will be exploded. Up with tho oleaginous “non-explosive 1" Od>'“ Robb, who has boen dubbod tho fighting Ulinois Colonel," is evidently n man of lender passions, and none too strong for a little womanly weakness.— Tho Washington correspondent of the Savannah Neirs telegraphs, on tho 30th, tho following: Robb met his opponent to-day, and during the interview wasnflbeted to tears. He expressed n hope that his opponent would receive tho appointment of Collec tor, aud said that he would retire to pri vate life and save further expense In the matter. Dick Yates must havo witnessed those tears and been moved by them to greater efforts in behalf of his pet, for it is an- nonueod, in tho Washington dispatches published yesterday, that no change will be made in the Savannah custom house. r-a* STATE MATTERS. Tho Savannah Neirs of Tuesday says: We are called upon to notico another outrage by armed negroes on the Louis ville road, leading to this city. On yesterday, at about mid-day, Mr. Geo. Clary, a gentleman who resides in Screven county, in company with his wife, was proceeding to the city, and when near tho Fair Grounds, at the samo spot where a former occurrence of this kind took place, he was halted by a mob of armed negroes, and though no firearms were brought into uao, Mr. Clary and his lady wero the subjects of outrageous in sults and menaces. Mi. Clary states that he offered no provocation whatever, and, unless they mistook him for some other party against whom they had a grudge, was totally at a loss to know why the attack was made. In addition to very threatening overtures, every manner of profane aud obseeno language was used by tho highwaymen, iu heaping iusulta upon Mr. Clary and his wife. . . . . . This is tho third outrage which has been committed by these vagabond ne groes. aud it is pawing strange that no ° . I ll.. llP tint till- Tho Americus Republican has the fol lowing: P««e, the murderer of young Miller, whose trial was to have come off yester day in the[Superior Court, didn’t come to time. He preferred forfeiting his bond to risking his precious life at the bar of justice. We loam that he has gone to Atlanta to take his scat as a Rep resentative from Lee comity in the Legis lature. Now, can a man under indict ment for murder take a scat with the law makers of the State ? Is ho eligible to bis scat until |lie lias been pronounced innocent by a competent jury ? We think not It would be an] extremely *bad law a murderer would make, for the good of Nooiety and the commonwealth, and we think the honest men of the Btate would prefer a letter man to fill tho seat of Geo. Page/from Lee county. Grady, with his wife, hus returned to Rome. Quite a number of South Carolina refugees are in Rome. A man named Jorks Swords was run over by the ears, on the Solan, Rome and Dalton Railroad, and killed. Theodore Moves, a Savannah snake fancier, was bitten by one of bis snakes while exhibiting them in Saxony. But, as he has been bitten previously by the same kind of reptile, be is getting used to it now aud has no fear of consequen ces. The fifteenth session of tho Savannah Medical College began yesterday. Augusta had tho first frost of tho sea son Monday night. The Chronicle and Sentinel reports a rumor that a company of soldiers 1ms been sent to Burke county. Henry Stumpf, of Monroe county, was robbed of $80, during the Macon Fair. Bishop Pierce will preach in Forsyth next Sunday. Monroe county was proclaimed Banner county at tho State Fair. The Monroe Advertiser was proclaimed Banner Week ly, at tho Atlanta Fair. Tho two papers at Cartersville have been united und will hereafter bo called the Standard and Repress, Smith, Wikle k Co., publishers. Tho Savannah Republican, which lately reported two cases of yellow fever in Sa vannah, now states on tho authority of the Board of Health, that no case has oc curred this season. Judge Erskiue adjourned his Court iu Savannah on Monday, having finished up the business. The Macon Telegraph and Messenger of yesterday says: It is our painful duty to record the sad fate of an old merchant of Macon (Philip Fitzgerald) before the United States Dis trict Court in Savannah. He was charged with a violation of the revenue laws by selling liquor at wholesale when his license only allowed him to retail. He was convicted and sentenced to six months in the county jail and fined $1,000. We aro informed that Mr. F. lias been for more than twenty-five yearn a merchant in this city, and has hitherto sustained a good reputation as an honest and honorable man. ilkUlico, Jcwcltn, (Etc. ft O M E T H I TV e V K W .

DAILY AND WEEKLY, live Paper on Live Issues PTTBLISHHD X3Y THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA. Our Special Correspondence. interesting Information. Athens, Ga., October 30, 1871. Editors Atlanta Sun: Our Univeisity has been moving on smooth!/ under its new system, aud bids fair to premier as a regular first class University. The stu dents, including those of the High School, number 182, nearly 50 new students this season. I here present a few facts which will bo of general in terest: Tbore is can Rented with the University sixty acres of land; there is invested in buildings $130,000; in library $30,000; in apparatus $10,000; in cabinet $2,000. The annual expenses of conducting the University, exclusive of High School and Law School, is about $24,000. I have the above facts from the Chancellor, hence, it can bo credited. The Engineer School already numbers sixteen students, others aro expected. Arrangements aro being made to get models and other additions to I^ngiReer Department. • New features of tho University—such as Printing Office at the High School, Workshops, and Chomical Laboratory Rooms—nave been fitted up, and mate rial obtained to teach students Analytical Chemistry. The Laboratory is now open, and the present arrangements ore suffi cient to give students practice in Ohouii- oal Manipulations, with a course in Qual itative Analysis, or the method of detect ing important chemical substances. Tho Laboratory is under the charge of Pro fessors Brown and Jones, aided by pro fessor Hunter. A new inodul is allured for highest scholarship iu Latin; also, one for highest scholarship in Greek. There aro many contestants for both medals. Tho Law School numbers 10. It is probable thero will be a dozen in Law Senior Class of 1872. Wo learn Professor Waddell’s Latin Grammar has been received with so much favor as t j exhaust tho first edition in four weeks. Quite a success certainly. Dr. Mell, we aro gratified to know, is gradually recovering; will be unable, howover, to resume his duties as profes sor this session. He anticipates leaving Athens on a pleasure trip us soon as his health permits. The Synod last week was poorly atten ded. Nearly two hundred members were expected, though, os we learn, not more than seventy-five were present. Nothing of much public interest was discussed be fore tho Assembly. We were pleased to hear some of the eminent and worthy Presbyterian divines. They admirably filled the pulpits of other churches while here. A A. ATLANTA, GEORGIA.
