grievance is we are at a loss to imagine. His zeal in bis labor of love (not for Atlanta) has in fluenced him to indict some things which his sense of justice will correct so soon as his atten tion Is called to them. The reference to the absence of conveniences for warming the Senate Chamber (the room in which the Supreme Court meets) was made in the columns of the IsTELLiauscfia. The “cap- itol” alluded to is the City Hall building, which everybody who reads the Atlanta papers is aware has been, and Is still used for State pur poses. The same readers have also had numer ous opportunities to know that the N»w—Capi tol Building is rapidly approaching completion, and that when the Legislature of Georgia reas sembles in Janaary next, they will meet in one of the finest buildings of the kind in the United States, in proof of which we transfer to our col umns a description of it, which we find in the “Christmas Present" Brother Sneed must ad mit, therefore, that the allegation contained in the first paragraph of his “hasty article” can noi be sustained, and that the “great public duty” which will suggest itself to the Georgia Legisla ture will be to stick, for private comfort will ably second the motion—if remaining stationary can be termed a motion. It “this whole thing of stealing off the cap ital of Atlanta was a vile and contemptible fraud,” etc., the people of Atlanta and Fulton county have the proud remembrance that they, at the proper time, gave a majority against, and did all in their power to “vote down the iniqui tous speculationas the editor of the Republi can is pleased to term it. Would to heaven the city of Savaunah and Chatham county, and every other city and county in the Stale, had done the same. But we do not criminate our brother Sneed—he nobly did his duty in that contest. Whenever the question of the removal of the Capital shall again properly come before the people of the State, we will freely and fearlessly discuss it. In the meantime we leave the sub ject, simply remarking that the expense of the accommodations for the State Government in the new and elegant Capitol building does not fall upon the “ impoverished people ” outside of the city of Atlanta. Kimball’* Opera Mouse—The Capitol. This magnificent building, beyond controversy the finest in the Slate of Georgia, and now being fitted up for use as the State House, is rapidly approaching completion.

The attention of our readers is called to the following circular, a printed copy of which has fallen into our hands, addressed, we presume, to the eeveral Presidents and Superintendents of Southern railroads, by Superintendent Hulbert of the Western & Atlantic Railroad of this State. The suggestions which it embraces are practica ble and commendable, and we trust they will receive that attention from all to whom they are addressed, which they so eminently merit: WatrTERN & Atlantic Railroad, ) OFF.CE SUI’IfKtNTKNDKNT. j- Atlanta, Ga., December 5,1608. ) Dear Sir : Frequent inqurics respecting the, price ol lauds in the South are being made by parties in the Northern and Western States, allowing a growing disposition for w emigration and travel southward. The Hagerstown (Maryland) Mail thus an nounces a contemplated excursion of a party from that section : “About the 18th of November a party of gen tlemen contemplate a second excursion to Vir ginia and the South. All who wish to join the party, and report the fact at the Mail office prior lo the 10th ot November, will be furnished hall- lar# railroad tickets lor the excursion. Hotel and other accommodations have been promised at reduced rates.” It is very evident from the tone of the North ern Press that there is a strong inclination in that section to sell lauds at the prevailing high prices there, and to invest in the cheap lands ot the South. This inclination should be encouraged by us as far as practicable. One great restraint upon emigration, or the travel which to a great extent precedes it, is the And Abyssinian Caravan!

The Rep resentative Hall, unquestionably the finest and most elegant room south of Washington^ is sev enty five leet square and thirty-eight feet high to the ceiling, with a dome thirty-six feet in diameter. The Hall is lighted by one ol Frink’s Mammoth Patent Corrugated Glass Reflectors, ten feet in diameter, placed in the top of the dome, which throws a light, without casting a' shadow in any part of the room, as clear and steady as daylight,and sufficiently strong to ena ble one to read the finest print in any part of the Hall. The Hall is beautifully frescoed and adorned with life size portraits of some of Geor gia's noblest sons. There are galleries on three of its sides capable of seating some five hundred people. The fl-ior is gradually raised from the Speaker’s desk to the rear, thus giving a good view lor all, and the seats are so arranged that each member passes to and from his desk with out going in lrout of, or disturbing, any other members. Connected with the Hall are two coat and wash rooms, or lobbies; also rooms for the Clerk and Speaker of the House, aud the Enrolling and Engrossiug Clerks. CHARL.ES FISH aiLd gig SEBASTIAN expensiveness of the trip, as compared with the accustomed Northern rates. To obviate this objection it has been suggest ed that Winter Excursion Tickets, at half fare, good for any route, be arranged tor two or three months this winter on Southern lines, giving the traveller an opportunity of seeing the country by stoppiug and laying over a reasonable time at such points as might attract his attention. If Boutliern Roads generally would arter into au arrangement ot this kind, giving it. au exten sive aud general publicity through the Northern Press, it iB believed that a large travel would b - altracted to our lines which we would otherwise fail to secure, aud ultimately result in a large emigration to our section of a skilled and wealthy class of Agriculturalists and Manufac turers. It is presumed that our Hotels, with their usual liberality, would heartily concur in the proposed plan and make the same reduction in their charges. The attention of our railroad managers is be ing directed to European emigration as a ques tion of deep importance to the great interest en trusted to their sagacity and care, and it is deem ed ot the utmost importance that some well de vised plan be put into imiucduite action to se cure to the South its share ot the benefits to be derived from the large emigration that is now pouring its wealth ol labor and population upon this continent. To bring about a concert of aciipn in thes. important matters, it has been recommended iliat a general convention of presidents and su perintendents ol Southern roads be held in the city of Atlanta, Georgia, on January 4tb, 1S69. Your active co-operation is earnestly solicited in arranging with hotel keepers upon the plan suggested, and in securing a full attendance of railroad officials at the convention. An early reply to these suggestions is respect fully requested, in order lhaf suitable arrange ments may be made lor the meeting oi the con vention. Respectfully, E.

The Senate Chamber is filly leet by seventy, and thirty fe« t high, with galleries ou three sides. It is lighted in the same way as the Hall of Representatives, and the walls are to be Irescoed and otherwioe ornamented in a similar manner. Tne looms of the Attorney General are also on this floor. On the third floor are the Supreme Court loom, and the offices of the Chief Justice, the Clerk and the Reporter of the Supreme Court, and also several large Committee and Executive rooms Ou the fourth floor are eight commodious Com mittee rooms, two large Caucus rooms, and the Law aud General Library of the State. Ou the filth floor are a large number of fine dormito ries, elegantly furnished, that can be occupie i v the officers and members of the General Assembly, if they so desire. Iu the basement will be the “ Opera House Exchange,” with ele gant billiard and diniug rooms. There are five large stores on the first floor, each with a base meat, which will make admirable retail business houses The windows of each of these stores will be a single plate of gla«s, seven feet by twelve—each plate costing not less than a thou sand dollars. The builoiug Doctor Bard.—Doctor Samuel Bard, the editor of the Atlanta Neic Era, is now in Wash ington, and bas rooms at the Metropolitan-Ho tel. Doctor Bard is one of the lew editors in the South who from the start endorsed the recon struction policy ot Congress, aud advocated it with energy, and did, through the editorial columns, great service in this behalf!

A Hastjr Article. The New Capital.—We observe that the Supreme Court, which the Atlanta papers inform us “met at the capitol,” had to adjourn on ac count ot the absence ot conveniences for warm ing the building. This simple fact suggests a great public duly. When the Legislature meets in January it will find itself subjected to even greater discomforts, the bodies being larger, aud as there is really no place in Atlanta fit lor the transactions of public business, let our leg islators, immediately alter organizing, adjourn to tbe city ot Milledgeville, where everything is prepared for their reception, and comfort while in (he discharge of their political duties. This whole thing of stealing off the capital lo Atlanta was a vile and contemptible fraud upon the p4?ople of Georgia, smuggled through in the excitement of a general election, and ingeniously contrived by political mountebanks and property K|H«ulators about Atlanta to advance tbeir per sonal interests. Tbe people have no approval lor it, as the present results are coulusmn and personal iueonvenieuee to everybody, while it is obliged to wind up with a tax of several millions of dollars upon an already impoverished people. \V e feel sure that if it would be put to a vote, lour out of every five men in Georgia would vote down the iniquitous speculation and return tbe capital to its proper place, in the city of Mil ledgeville. The foregoing, wbieh we clip from the Savan nah Republican, and in which paper it appears as a “leader,” is simply another illustration of the fact that good men are very apt to fall into erroneous statements when they write hurried !y or with prejudice. Our esteemed contemporary of tbe “Forest City” evidently has somewhat against the “Gate City”—the thriving “Capital” of this commonwealth.
