ittetM# pm fc ATLANTA, GEORGIA, AUGUST 10,1870, GEORGIA LEGISLATURE. SENATE. Fbhut, August 5, 1870 The Saute met pursuant tojidjournment, and ru ealled to order by the PRESIDENT. Alter prayer by the Rer. Dr. Prettyman, the roll uae called and the journal of the previous day waa read and approved. Mr. HARRIS moved to taku up the special order, which was the report of the Committee in the case of the Capitol, Which has already appeared in our columns. The report wag read. A message was received from the House through Mr. Newton, their clerk. Mr. HARRIS, moved the adoption of the report and the resolution, he as Chairman of the Committee was conversant with their pro ceedings, and would make a few remarks.— The motives of that Committee were the best interests of the State, and largo as the Com- mitiee was it was unanimous on the question. He was aware that as usual the motives of the Committee would bo impugned and the cry of corruption would be raised, bnt they had looked upon it as a purely financial measure. lie spoke of the course taken by the city of Atlanta, which he said was praiseworthy. Last session they had proposed to offer them $100,- 000, but now the city had offered $130,000, which the committee accepted, though there were some who thought the city ought to pay *$150,000. The next consideration was how much should they pay for that property, and they had concluded to give $380,000, includ ing the furniture, fixtures and heating and lighting apparatus, which had cost $76,000; of which $54,600 had been advanced by the State, and which would be refunded. It was a settled thing that the Copitol would remain in tho city of Atlanta. The building now occupied by the State aria most suitable, and if they stayed in it they would be tenants for eight years. They now had an opportu nity to close a contract that wonld give them a building superior in accommodations to any thing in the South. He spoke of the Capitol' at Nashville, and said that the building in Atlanta was superior in conveniences in every respect. They wonld oi course take the ten ' acres of land offered by the city, on which they could build in future, and the iUraRnre they purchased in this building they could move to another withont trouble or inconvenience. The building in Nashville coat $2,900,000, and they were getting a building superior to it in all respects except that that building was of stone and this of brick. The rooms and stores not requited by the State would tent out for from $14,000 to $16,000, which will pay more than the interest on the bonds that the State will issue to purchase the building, in fact they wonld get the CepUol for nothing, as at the end of ton years they could sell it for more than they gave for it. As a financial question it.was a good bargain; if anybody could show that it eras not he wonld give it up. Mr. WALLACE moved an amendment, the principal point of which was that thoy should submit the matter to the countiy at the next election. He supported bis resolution by a speech, in which he signed that it was no use buying the Capitol building now when they eonld have the use of it for nothing for the next eight years. Mr. CAMPBELL looked on this as a busi ness question. Tho question of the location of the Capitol was settled. The constitution said that the Capitol should be in Atlanta. He said if they purchased the building as pro posed, they would make $20,000 in per cent- age on bonds. As to tho building bang dan gerous, he would risk it for a hundred years. If the building eras purchased it would rojuiro no tax, the rents would pay the interest on bonds, and in lhct they would get it for noth ing. It would tend to raiso the cre<tit of the State abroad when it was known that the bonds were taken at par at home. Mr. GRIFFIN (21st), thought be saw some thing rotten in the proposed arrangement Ho eonld not realise the troth that it was a sound financial operation. He eonld not see why they should purchase. He was satisfied tho capitol was located in Atlanta; that was not the question; but could anyone guarantee that if they did purchase tho building it wonld not tall or be burned up before eight years ex pired. The oat in the meal tub was that peo ple were afraid that unless they did purchase tliurapiiol, the people might remove it to an other place; by that means they would -shat * * Jliil.S They were afr aid election the people would reverse their judg ment. He failed to see the convenience of the House. He would rather be in the old City Hall. There were only two windows in tho Senate Chamber; members had to go out side to get a breath of air. The building was reported unsafe on the streets; the walls were cracked, and if they purchased it it would be of a piece with all the robbing, plundering, and thieving that had been earned on since they met If they wanted a good Capitol—if they wonld go to Stone Mountain and dig one out he would help them, would vote with them to any reasonable amount. If the Senators would strip themselves of prejudice and ex amine themselves into the question he was sure there were not a dozen that wonld vote far thin measure. Mr. HIGBEE asked why all this talk about corruption, why should that cry be >«ised again on this question. Thu bnildiug exceeded in conveniences any other he had seen. Fi nancially, it was a safe investment The building was put up by » man who was be coming well known to Atlanta, and to Geor gia, and in dns time he wonld be honored.— The quest!os of moving the Capitol bud been mooted for thirty years and it had been a con test between Macon and Atlanta which should have it and Atlanta had been seleotod by tbu Convention which decided the question. As to building a Capitol, the State was not pre pared to do it at the present time, when they were they would have ten acres upon which to erect a building. There had been some bitter ness existing on tho question, bnt he trusted by the time a new capitol was bnilt these feel- ceivcd for portions of the building not copied by the State would amount to more than the interest on the purchase money; it wonld be an income of $5,000 or *10,000, certainly over $5,000 more than the interest, and what wonld that amount to in twenty years? Why instead of having to pay any money, they would have $100,000 in the treasury. Again, take the in crease of value in property in Atlanta. He had it from some of the best citizens of the place, that property had increased since the war ten per cent, per annum, bnt say it only increased five per cent, then they could sell the property at the end of twenty years, for an amount that wonld pay off all the bonds and put in the Treasury an amount equal to tho original purchase money. The speaker alluded to the opposition which came from men who were jealous of having the capitol buildings in Atlanta, and spoke of what had been said of extravagance and cor ruption- He feared sneh did exist in some things, but on this matter be was not afraid to record his vote and go before his constitu ents, for he was backed by on array of facts that wonld justify him. After alluding to the proposition to appoint one from the Senate and one from the House to examine into the titles. Mr. FAIN said be was more than gratified at the conduct of the people of Atlanta. They had come out in a manly, generona manner, and liberal as they had always shown them selves in this case, they had maintained their character and wonld the Senate charge them with fraudulent intent. They (the city) had done as they had agreed. Atlanta, said the speaker, is tho great Rail road center of the State, ho might say of the South and was fitted to be the Capitol be cause it was accessible to all who wished to transact any boainess with the Legislotare, the Governor or any of the Executive Depart ments. There wore many more rrgnmenls he might adduce but what he hod said he thought was plain enough for a way-taring man to understand. Ho would vote for the proposition as he thought it wcnld foster the nest interests of tho State. Mr. CANDLER opposed the motion; he wanted the Capitol to stay in Atlanta; thought the question was not on its merits, bnt was moved np with railroad interests. There was a debt of $54,000 dne the State, and they pro posed to buy the Capitol building to collect tbedebt; thought the building insecure; certifi cates of its safety were made by interested parties; there ought to have been outside men engaged; they could bay the building if secure in eight yean time as well as now. Mr. NUNNALLY said it was apparent to him that it was becoming the custom to bring all the otside issues that could bo brought into discussion in the Senate, not to influence the Senators bnt to have its effect in the lobbies and galleries. He had heard Mr. Candler speak on this question before. In 18G9, ho made probably the best speech that was made in flavor of purchasing the Capitol made on either side of the question .and he won dered at the change in the Scnatorsviews. Mr. NUNNALLY after speakingof the loca tion of the Capitol in Atlanta, which he said was a fixed tactisaid that Atlanta had fully com plied with her obligations, and the promptness with which she had done so but added lanrels to her brow. She had come np nobly, and extended to them a Capitol for their use for ten years that was an honor to the city and State, one that they eonld be proud of. It ex ceeded in beauty and convenience the Capitol at Nashville, which coot Tennessee $3,000,000. It was better in every respect, except lliat it was built of brick instead of stone. He bad no donbt that it would stood twill every voice that then beard him would be hushed in the grave. They had heard of tho cracks in the walls; be had convinced himself and others that they were bat the crackings of tlaster, and there was no necessity of the lenators frightening themselves with the idea that they wonld be killed here and save their constituents the tionblo of patting them ont of the way (alluding to one of Mr. Barn's ex travagancies). As to the $54,000 that had been advanced by the State, it was a legal qnestion ax to who should pay it. The Legis lature, the State had accepted and used the furniture, and it was a grave question os to whether they wore not liable, as there was nothing iu the contract that said who was to find the fomitnre for tho building. As a financial operation it was sound policy to pnroliase it, and the principal opponents to the measure were men who had laud to sell like the Senator from tho 34th, who perhaps wonld like to seU a few acres for a Capitol, or some personal enemies of the parties interested. They, the Senators, must not look outside, tbey should look to tbs interest of Georgia. The building was in bis estimation was worth $300,000, and what would the purchase money iu State bonds amount to if they paid $250,- 000, in twenty year bonds. At a discount of 10 per cent. itwonldamonnttonbont$179,000, and if they eonld purchase tbs boild’ng for that it wonld be a good financial operation. If they waited eight years they, wonld loose ing Company of Taylor county. Passed, the city $170,000, for, by that time the city” ,p ~ ™ 1 — —* *- - 1I —r r wonld have paid all that it contracted to pay, and there was no money in the Treasury to bnild a new one. Mr. WELLBORN moved to extend the time of the session until the question was disposed of to. iugs wooldbeossoaged. . BURNS spoke against the measure, the first port of his speeeh was, as ho confessed, nonsense, the aeoond pert failed to impress anyone except a taw individuals, possibly, in the galleries. Ho was snoeeeded hy Mr. FAIN, who said he bad listened to the harangne of Mr. Bums and also Mr. Griffin, and both gcnticmeo, while speaking strongly, had tailed to give one single reason for the opinions they held. This measure was op posed by men who opposed the removal of tho Capitol, and for the same reasons they op posed that, thoy now oppose the purchase of the bnildiug used as a Capitol, and in order to addxWeight to their argument they cried corruption, and said the building was unsafe. They nod not stated a single reason for their ho charging. As to the safety of the building, they hod the opinion of some of the finest architects of the State that it was safe and sound and os per manent as a building of ita weight eonld be, and they who said differently had not brought forward one idea to sustain their position. He maintained that tho building was safe and sound, likely to Stand for one hundred yean as firmly as it did to^lay, and there was no Senator there who would say differently w hen he got all the information on the sub ject He proposed to meet any tact bee to face as he bad always done, and when be stated a proposition be was ready to give his reasons font Mr. FAIN then went into the financial part of the qnestion. He said it was a settled tact that tho original building cost $83,000; Mr. Kimball had paid $40,000 for it, and hod ex pended on it $174,000, while tho fixtures, fur niture, lighting and heating apparatus had coat $76,000; Mr. Kimball was entitled to a reasonable profit; he thought that gentleman should have $83,000 or even say $40,000, he bad paid 5170,000, and of the 76,000 it had eost to complete the building, the State had famished $54,000; which it was proposed to C y back, which wonld leave him $288,000 ■ the building; their bends wonld be paid at a discount, and then what profit would be left to Mr. Kimball, the interest of the money would amount to more than the profit he would make. Then it may be asked why did Mr. Kimball want to sell it The answer was plain, the bnilding had been famished for State House purposes, and it became him to sell it to the State; he could afford to do it; and it was but reasonable to accept his propo sition: there should be no dodging the q— tion; he had looked into the matter and satisfied that they may say if the arrange ment were perfected, they wonld get a Capitol for ten years for nothing, yes, for twenty yean for nothing. If they built a Capitol it wonld cost them $3,000,000, and the people of the State would have to be taxed to pay that sum. while by purchasing this building they could occupy it for twenty years, if they wished, for nothing. Another thing, the rents re- Mr. NUNNALLY continued: If they pur chased the building they could make a calcu lation that in eight years they would not lose one dollar. The rent of outside property would pay the interest of the money. "hy should they not purchase it? H. ha‘d heard no argument except that always advanced to abuse and run down tba hunse. He had the certificates of ms who had been sworn, and whose opinion ought to be worth some thing, and if they were the fathers of the child, then they ought to be better able to speak of ita capabilities; that the building was sonnd; that money had been no object in its construc tion; that they bad been instructed to select the l>est material, and nse no other. He thonglit they should be the judges in the mat ter, it was not altogether a question for the people. If they were not competent to act in the matter they had all better go heme. After some further remarks he moved the previous question. The previous question was called for, which occurred on the substitute of Mr. Wallace, sub mitting the question of a purchase of the Opera House to a vote of the people of the next elec tion for members of the General Assembly, and to appoint a committee of one from the Senate and two from the House to ascertain why Mr. Kimball bad never refunded the $54,500, and why be annexes ita payment ns a reason why the Opera House should be pur chased.

Bullock—Em: In accordance with the provisions of section 1 of the act approved July 28, 1870, entitled “An Act to set apart and secure the School Fund," I have the honor to report the following state ment of the amount of School Fund, os far as can now be ascertained, in the Treasury up to July 1,1870, to wit: Poll tax of 1868 actually ascertained and separated from the General tax $86,337 63. Poll tax of 1869, actually ascertained and separated from general tax $86,030 51. Amount of educational tax from other sources since Julv 4th, 1868, $69,609 48. Total $242,- 027 62.

This may belong to the school fund but there was nothing in the face ot tho Treasu rer’s certificate to indicate it, so I have not so reported it There is probably a small amount of in solvent poll tax paid in by Tax Col- lecters during tne years 1869, ^fcnd 1870, but it will be necessary carefully examine the receipt bo.ok for those years which can be done hereafter and re ported in my next report on this sbject.

The hour of adjourumont having arrived, the Speaker declared the House adjourned un til 10 a. m. to-morrow. Louis Kossuth. Some months ago, says the Boston Journal, the Boston Lyceum Bureau commissioned a celebrated lecturerto travel through Europe until he found Kossuth, and, as it was re ported that he was poor, to offer him a series of lucrative engagements with lyceams in the United States. We are permitted to quote from an interesting letter just received from the gentlemam referred to, dated Geneva, July 18: “With nerves still quivering from the dizzy Alpine clifls over which the Cenis Railway has just launched me here from Itally. I hasten to report the execution of the commission which you entrusted to me. * * * In a retired qnarter in the royalty-forsaken city of Turin, piazza Cavonr, over an humble wine tavern, I found the lonely Magyar—a mild, sedate, rather dignified looking gentleman of appar ently sixty years of age, whoso demeanor though grave exhibited much affability and courtesy. “When I had laid your proposition before him and conveyed an assurance of the delight which his acceptance of it would afford the republic, he expressed his deep rejpret that it was beyond his power to entertain it, averring that he had retired entirely from public life, and was now a recluse from worldly affairs. To this, as a rejoinder, in order to remove any impression that a visit, such ns was proposed —l to America, would involve his interference in, Jadiciare Committee to prepare a btilrorela- coatoct ^ thj poU tical matters. I described to him the character and organization of American lyceums, and the work done by the Boston Lyceum Bureau for them, showing that the discourse you desired from him would re quire only his views upon some social or literary topic, apart from the atmosphere of politics al together. I added likewise, that while grati fying and instructing others, it would scarcely fail to be a subject oi* intense interest to him to have an opportunity of comparing the Ameri ca of his day with that of the present, and of observing what twenty years could do in the Great Republic. “He then warmed in conversation and said: *1 dislike giving you a cold negative, but I am not the man I was; I have had heavy do mestic afflictions; I want nerve, and as for addressing a number of people, I have al most forgotten what public speaking was. I am in truth a changeling. Were I to go any where, it would bo to America.” But, he added, “why want me? Are you not a na tion of orators?” “But,” I said, “none, Signor Kossuth, such as you.” “ I then touched upon the delicate ground of pecuniary considerations, and he immedi ately observed: ‘I have very little money, but I have very few wants and I am content’ ” “ Will nothing move you, Signor? I said.” “I repeat” he added, “were I to go any where it would bo to the grandest country in the world, your America; but I think, from the sample berore im?, you. can do without Koa- SUth. Oh f spare my blushes! but I am a faithful witness, and he had to pay a compli ment in return for mine. “The upshot, however, was his emphatic determination to speak in public no more un less daty to his own country demanded it He requested mo to say, however, that he felt highly flattered by the invitation and grateful for the consideration regarding his circum stances.” Red Cloud cost tho government $50,000 at Washington.

The only sensible coarse in any case of sickness is to resort promptly to a specific which has stood the test of a long and widely extended public experience, and obtained on solid and sufficient grounds the reputation of a standard remedy. This rank among the restoratives of our day belongs of right, and beyond all dispute, to Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters. Let those who are taking it at this debilitat ing season as an invigorant answer for themselves as to its tonic properties. Can any dyspepiic, who has ever used it, question its superiority as a stomachic over every other medicine ? Can any person of bilions habit, who has ever taken it for liver complaint doubt its efficiency ? It is believed among the tens of thous ands who are now using, or haVo heretofore used it as an alterative and corrective, not one can be found who would exchange it for any other preparation in the known world.

The universality of the demand for the Pain Killer is a novel, interesting, and surprising feature in the history of this medicine. Its “Dune has gone ont” into every qnarter of the habitable globe. The Pain Killer is now regularly sold in ltrge and steadily in creasing quantities, notonly to general agents in every State and Territory of the Union, and every Province of British America, bnt to Buenos Ayres, Brazil, Ura gnay, Peru, Chili and other South American Statty?, to the Sandwich Islands, to Cuba, and other West India Islands; to England and Continental Europe; to Mo zambique, Madagascar, Zanzibar and other African lands; to Australia and Calcutta, Rangoon and other places in India. It has also been sent to Chifla, and doubt if thero is any foreign port or any inland city in Africa or Asia, which is freqnented by Arnerl- and European missionaries, travelers or traders, into which the Pain Killer has not bcon introduced and boon sought after. The extent of iu usefulness is anothor great feature of this remarkablo medicine. It is not only the best thing ever known, as everybody will confess, for braises, cats, barns. Ac., bat for dysentery or cholera, any sort of bowel complaint it is a remedy unsur passed for efficiency and rapidity of action. In the great cities of British India, and in the West India Islands and other hot climates, it haa become the stan dard medicine for all such complaints, as well as for dyspepsia, liver complaints, and other kindred disor ders. For coughs and colds, canker, asthma and rheu matic difficulties, it haa been proved by the most abun dant and convincing trials and testimony, to be an in valuable medicine.
