who wish to remove the Capital from Atlanta,
lo eternally prate about Atlanta’# being mush-
roomy anti corrupt, with no eye to public in
terest, devoid of patriotism, and altogether
selfish.
When these peopla are* asked for reasons
for what they say, they arc totally unable to
give any. If you then quietly in.-inuate the
possibility cf their allegations being founded
upon prejudice rather than fact, they fly into
a passion and “wonder how you can talk so.'
The square, solid truth is nothing to them,
and facts aro swept like dust flakes ia the
whirlwind cf their anger. Consequently these
strong minded gentlemen will thiuk nothing
cf the statement made officially by Treasurer
Jones that Atlanta has taken $200,750 cf the
Nutting bonds, more than four times as much
as any other city or county in the State. Au
gusta, the noted capita! centre of Georgia,
takes $44,000, and Savannah $41,000; Bibb
takes $04,000. Of course these pnjudice
venders will not think of this in a commen
datory light, but all honest people will be
lieve that Atlanta lias proudly borne herself
as the Capital city of Georgia.
UOKKOW1NG MONEY BY 'a HE CITY.
We publish this morning a communication
from one of our most respected citizens, ask
ing some pertinent questions of the municipal
government. Injustice to the Finance Com
mittee, however, we deem it proper to state,
that we understand it was not possible to bor
row the money as suggested by oar correspon
dent, and, hence it became necessary to bor
row in the city on the best terms obtainable.
It has only been within the past sixty days
that as much as It per cent per month has
been paid, the greater part of the money bor
rowed having been obtained at ten and twelve
percent, per annum, while the average of all
will not exceed twelve per cent, per annum.
Justice to the members of tho Finance Com
mittee requires this statement. Indeed, when
we bear in mind that for the first time in sev-
heart is through his digestive organs, and tne
young ladies of Georgia, if they h ive no oth
er motive in contending for the prizes of
cookery, have shown an insight into the mas
culine nature which reflects credit upon their
penetration and skillfnlne.ss in adapting
meuns to end. They have also vindicated
the practical character of their State, which
was settled originally by a plain, practical peo
ple, lookmg more to substance than to show,
and prospering accordingly.
WHO WAS HE i
‘•The other paper” says that some one was
an idiot enough to imagine that it endorsed
Mr. Tumlin's plan because it published the
scheme of that gentleman. NYe shall say
that any man who would imagine that the
Constitution endorsed anything must'ce an idot.
No man in his normal senses could look for
an endorsement of, or opposition lo, any pro
ject by that paper as long as there was a fence
conveniently near at hand for it to get astride
of. And that fence was near by when it
published Tumlin's nonsense without com
ment.

Editors or the Atlanta Herald:
Gentlemen—In an editorial article entitled
“Treasurer Jones’Circular,” in your issue of
Sunday, you use tho name of an Augusta gen
tleman in a connection that may do great in
justice, and as I am fully assured that noth
ing of the sort was intended, I beg that you
will indulge me with a brief statement by
way of explanation. I think it due to a most
worthy -ind patriotic institution.
In the article referred to, you arraign Mr.
Thos. P. Brauch as “the Cashier of the'Mer-
chants’ and Planters’ Bank of Augusta,” for
certain acts tending to depreciate the new
issue of bonds in the market, and break
down the credit of the Staio. The legitimate
inference from your language is, that in the
on duct complained of, Mr. Branch was act-
his capacity of Cashier, and in con-
Rood* he could sell
Mr. George M. Traylor, of Boroughs A: Wing, who
travels with a whole library of poetical works, is

SO MORE CREDIT BUSINESS.
On and after October 15, wfl shall cease to

paid in advance. The necessity for os to
adopt a strictly cash business is imperative,
onr e xpenses being very large and requiring
a large cash outlay every week. We
trust that our friends and patrons everywhere
will appreciate the motive which prompts this
step. Ten days before each subscription ex
pires, we shall send a printed notification to
the subscriber, and if ly the time of its expi
ration it:« not renewed, we shall stop the pa

Ou and after the same date (Oct. 15) we

all contract advertisements.
All overdue accounts for advertisements
and subscriptions not paid by October 15th,

THE IMMORTELLES OF TI1E STOVE.
Upon what slight chances is celibrity of
ten fo a uded ?
Onr good friends of Home little thought,
when they proposed “for the novelty of tho
thing,” a cooking match by young ladies, at
their last fair, that they were m iking them
selves famous; nor did tho contesting dam
sels imagine, any the more, that the smoke
which curled from off their petted stoves was
wafting their names to an immortal dis
tinction.
Vet such was the fact!
There is hardly a newspaper in all the laDd
whose columns have not glowed with their
praises. No warrior upon loud resounding
field: no orator in the forum or the hustings;
no philosopher in his laboratory; no editor
in his sanctum, ever achieved a more stable
or extensive lame, than did these gastronom
ic heroines as they turned tho primitive pan
cake, or browned the dainty fritter, in tho
light of their iittlo stoves at modern Home
upon her holiday !
We’re heartily proud of our Cherokee maid
ens; and unless we're very much mistaken
Rome will soon be flooded with anxious young
men, looking for wives who can be helpmeets—
for women who are not dolls,and who have been
in the kitchen at least as often as they have been
to the opera; for women, not to make diudges
of, but women that can be depended on as in
telligent superintendents of household affairs.
A woman who can get a good dinner will
never find any trouble in getting a good hus
band.
NVe commend the example of the Rome j
girls to our young misses all over the Imd, |
and dismiss tbo subject with an extract upon :
the subject from the Baltimore Stin:
A fair was lately held at Rome, Gcorgi i, n
peculiar feature of which was a contest
among the young ladies for the production of
the best dinner. The Jprizc—an appropriate
ono - was a cooking stove, and it was awarded
to Miss Hettie Johnson. Tne second prize,
also a cooking stove, was carried off by Miss
Octavia Shropshire, quite an aristocratic
name, at least the Christian name, which was
that of the sister of the Emperor Augustus
and wife of Mark Antony. Tho Roman Oc-
tavia was a domestic woman, sticking to her
home and educating her children, and even
bringing np tho children of Antony by Ful-
via and Cleopatra. The superior of Cleopatra
in beauty, and virtuous in an ngo of licen
tiousness there is no name, albeit it be that
of a heathen, which may with more propriety
and grace be worn by a woman of any coun
try, whose chief ambition is the faithful dis
charge of her domestic duties.
There was also an award at the Rome fair
ot $10 for general proficiency to Bliss E. J.
Shropshire, apparently of the same family,
bank, of which ex-Governor Jenkins is
the worthy President. I am satisfied this
is not, so. Mr. Branch, I learn, is a bro
ker, doing business outside of the
bank of which he is Cashier, and I
have no doubt he was acting for himself alone
in his petulent efforts to bring the credit of
the State into disrepute. The President and
Directors of the Merchants’ and Planters'
Bank could have had no part or lot in any
6uch business, and I think a simple fact will
establish what I say. I happen to be in a
position to know that earnest efforts were
made to induce tho Augusta banks to sub
scribe to the new State loan, and that this same
Merchants’ and Planters’ Bank was the only one
that overruled all considerations of inconve
nience, aud came up Dobly to the support
of the State. Its board not only voted what
was, under tho circumstances, a liberal sub
scription to the loan, bnt were active in their
efforts to induce the other banks of the city
to follow their good example.
Satisfied that the Merchants’ and Planters*
Bank is not responsible for Mr. Branch’s
sins, I have thought it due that institution
and tho sterling old patriot who presides over
it, to make this statement, aud I trust you
will do me the favor and them the justice of
giving it to the public.

3JUCII TO BE GRATEFUL FOR.
Atlanta certainly lias much to be thankful
in ibat, of tho most fatal epidemics that has
swept over this country for years, sho has
been touched by neither. With no boastful
spirit, but in deep gratitude, wo may almost
assure, that sitting upon her lofty hills swept
by the pure breezes of the higher atmosphere,
she is almost absolutely safe from epidemic
diseases. In the fulnes3 of our joy that we
have been so mercifully spared, we should
remember those poor cities whom God in
his infinito wisdom has loved and chastened.
A Coincidence.—A few nights ago Robt.
Johnson, a very worthy colored man, got up
in a Republican meeting and offered a few
remarks in opposition to Mr. Henry P. Far
row. Yesterday Johnson had to resign his
place in the Atlanta post-office. So much for
the great party of free speech !
Geokoia’s next Governor—Hr. Win. Turn*
lin. Ilis platform will he “Don’t pay your
debts except on your own teims,” and it will
be very popular with tho masses. Next t
absolute relief it’s the best thing going.

Tim Cotton Simalion.
Since tho reopening of the cotton marktt Friday
morning, all of four huudred b«des have been sold, ag
gregating $30,030. Ah a rule this money has gone to
square up debts, and it, at a rough guess, l:a* squared
off at least $100,003.
It is reported to-day that Savannah buyers have ro
