We hnvcnbstnincd from any comments
on Mr. Hill’s somewhat severe reflect

•Yddress, because we do not wish to do
him the least injustice, and wc have
been expecting to receive liis address as
printed. We copy thecomments of the
Baltimore Gazette—a very sound and
able journal—to show that the Georgia
writers who have dissented from his
new philosophy arc not alone in their
convictions.
An Important Prosecution.—
The grand jury in the case of the own
ers of the steamer Westfield, which
exploded recently in New York, have
indicted the owners of the vessel, and
there is a very strong feeling c* 1 indig
nation on account of their indifference
to the safety of human life, in using a
defective boiler, anti it is probable that
they will be held to very severe ac
countability. The popular mind of
the country is justly aroused on ac
count of the frightful loss of life on
rnilfoads and steamboats, and it will
have a good effect to moke a few ex-
iimples of the owners of these lines of
travel.
The Elections.—California has
gone Republican by a small majority.
The result is attributed to divisions re
sulting from what was known as the
Tax Payer’s ticket.
Maine has also gone Republican by
a slightly decreased majority.
These results are ascribed by some
to the “ new departure ” policy of the
Democracy.
We are not sufficiently familiar with
the character of the campaigns in these
States.to judge correctly of the cause
for the apparent vigor of the Republi
can. party. California has been re
garded a Democratic State, and we have
no doubt it will vindicate itself in the
Presidential election. If the people of
Maine can stand an administration that
has completely killed their great ship
ping interests, there is little hope that
anything can open their eyes.
the people were disfranchised, and
which did not represent the real senti
ment of the State.
The contract under which the re
moval was made, has been violated in
both letter and spirit; it having been
agreed that the city of Atlanta would
furnish all the necessary buildings free
of cost for ten years.
A large suin was not only expended
by the Governor to make the new
capitul iiabitiihle, but a trade has been
negotiated, whereby the State lia« al
ready paid out three or four hun dred
thousand dollars, and now has nothing
but a temporary capitol—inconvenient
and unsuitable in many respects.
Atlanta is, and will continue to be
the centre of speculative rings of every
kind, from railroad rings, down to all
sorts of petty jobbing. Its very at
mosphere is infected by this spirit, and
the nature of things will attach these
intiuences to it, and unfit it for the seat
of government.
In evidence of this wc have only to
refer to the legislation and the annual
expenditures of the State Government
now, compared to former years. Who
can deny that these expenditures have
in a great measure grown out of the
corrupt robbing influences which at
tach to the railroad interests which
centre there, and the cormorants who
have located there for the purpose of
plundering the State. These are broad
ssertions, but wc are willing to sub
mit them to the candid judgment of
the public.
We disclaim all hostility to Atlanta,
or to its legitimate business interests.
Our best friends and patrons are among
its business men, and we wish them
anil their city the highest prosperity.
But there has been a combination of
wrongs in the removal of the capitol
which to heaven, and deserves stern
rebuke. These wrongs have been at
the exjiense of the tax payers of the
State, who are entitled to be fairly
heard on the question.
morally and religiously just, and the
destruction of which, by force, has re
duced them from affluence to the pov

the abolition of slavery—the unmixed
blessing—which Mr. llill affects to be
lieve ; the knowledge of the impover
ished households and social ruin which
it has occasioned, ought to have abated
at least his new-born zeal for the glor
ification of Yankee civilization, and in
duced him, for some time to come, in
addressing Southern men and women
to curb his desire to surpass Mr. Wen
dell Phillips or Mr. Henry Ward
Beecher in his denunciation of one of
“ the twin relics of barbarism.”

Discrepancy.—The
statements of Treasurer Boutwell and
of Mr. Spinner in reference to the
public debt, do not agree within the
moderate sum of $109,630,511 24.
Boutwell says the principal of the
public debt unpaid July 1 1870 was
$2,477,472,159 29. Spinner says at
the same time it was $2,367,841,678
«>.%. Now in old times, a hundred mil
lions was worth looking after; but in
the flush days of Radical liberality it
is a mere bagatelle. As the debt is not
likely to be paid, it perhaps makes little
difference exactly how large it is, and
a little margin is convenient for those
who 'manage the purse-strings. Great
is Boutwell.

This is a Republican tariff, based on
the worst possible protective features,
because it taxes the necessaries of life
high, while a further examination
would show that luxuries arc admitted
at much lower rates.
And yet there are some, who declare
that if tlie issue over the 14th and 15th
amendments is yielded by the Demo
crats in the next Presidential campaign,
there will lie no difference between
Democracy and Republicanism.
more industrious, more virtuous, better
feil and clothed, more prosperous and
contented ? We think that it will puz
zle Mr. Hill to prove, even to satisfy
himself, that they are.
Or is it that Mr. Hill pretends that
a civilization, in which free negroes
have a predominating voice and con
trolling influence, as iu South Carolina,
Florida, ami parts of the other quon
dam slave States, or are equal partici
pants, as in Kentucky, Virginia, North
Carolina and Georgia, is superior in
those elements which constitute real
civilization to that which prevailed iu
those States in the days of slavery ? Is
the South Carolina of to-day ns civili
zed as in the dnys when Calhoun, the
Prestons, McDuffie, Waile Hampton,
and their compeers controlled her Gov
ernment and made her laws? Mr.
Hill knew that he offended truth and
decency when he sought to establish
the superiority of the present over the
former order of things in these States.
YVe have neither time nor space, nor
is it necessary in order to expose the
bold fallacies of Mr. Hill’s latest de
parture, to show the real reasons of the
strength of the North and the weak
ness of the South during the late war.
Suffice it to show that slavery was not
the cause of our weakness.
But is the civilization which Mr.
Hill glorifies with so much enthusiasm
superior to that which he reviles with
so much bitterness? Compare the
government of Grant, Colfax and Aker-
man with that of any of the line of
Presidents from YVoshington to Bu
chanan, and what truthful man of com
mon intelligence is not compelled to
decide in favor of the ilcn of disturbed
vipers ? Compare the State Govern
ments under Wells, Holden, Scott,
Bullock, Reed and Ames and their
carpet-bag and scalawag adherents with
those administered by the illustrious
men who, in former days, filled the
Govenor’s chair, and will even Mr.
Hill dare to say deliberately that the
blue, black and mulatto civilization of
to-dady is to lie preferred ? YVell and
justly was his offensive speech rebuked
by the reverend Chancellor of the Uni
versity when he said that “ the civili
zation which commenced with George
YY r ashington and ended with Robert E.
then stated the object of the meeting
to be to consider the propriety of peti
tioning the next Legislature* to have
the capitol removed lack to Milledgo-
ville from Atlanta. On motion, a com
mittee of three, consisting of Col. M.
C. Fulton, F. M. Usiy and J. Hill
man, were appointed to draft resolu
tions. for the action of the meeting.
The committee reported the following
resolutions, which were unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, The scat of government
was moved from Milledgevifle to Atlan
ta against the wishes of our people,
and, as we believe, of a large majori
ty of the intelligent citizens of the
State:
Whereas, The old capitol buildings
at Milledgeville are much better sui
ted for the purposes of government
than those now occupied in Atlauta;
and, moreover, can Ikj had "without
cost, being the property of the State, a
matter of grave importance to our peo
ple iu their impoverished comlitioq.-:
Whereas, The city of Atlaqta has
failed to comply in good faith, if we
are correctly informed, with her volun
tary pledge to furnish all necessary
public buildings for the use of the gov
ernment, for ten years, without cost
to the State:
Whereas, The Opera House and the
Governor’s Mansion have been pur
chased at enormously high prices, as
we believe in reckless disregard of the
wishes and true interests of our people,
and, finally:
IFftertw, The administration of the
State government, since its removal to
Atlanta, has been both corrupt and
extravagant, squandering absolutely
mil ions of the public funds and wan
tonly im))osiug heavy burdens of tax
ation, which it is iinposihle for our
people to tear longer without utter
ruin and bankruptcy; therefore.
■ Resolved, l*f. That we, the people
of McDuffie County, earnestly appeal
to our fellow-citizens “ from the moun
tains to the seaboard,” who are in fav
or of honesty and economy iu the ad
ministration ot the government, and
opi>osed to the reckless squandering of
the public fund- in :he purchase of II.
I. Kimball’s Opera btate Houses,
Bullock Governor's Mansions at bi
bulous prices, and to other like vena
lity aud corruption, which have char
acterized the government since its re-!
moval to Atlanta, to unite with us in J
demanding of the Legislature at its
approaching session such action as
shall 1 c deemed test calculated to ef
feet tiie speedy removal of the seat of
goverdinent from Atlanta teck to the
old capitol building at Milledgeville,
so long renowned for the eloquence,
statesmanship, patriotism, fidelity anil
honesty of our public men, and now
hallowed by glorious memories of the
better days of the Republic.
Resolved, 2d. That we hereby in
struct our representatives anil Senator
to advocate the removal of the capitol
back to Milledgeville, and to favor the
sale or rent, as shall be deemed best by
them, of the Opera State House anil
the Bullock Governor’s Mansion, so
called, in the city of Atlanta, so as to
protect whatever interest the State
rightfully owns in said buildings.
Resolved, 3d. That we cordially
invite the co-operation of the good peo
ple of our State, and respectively sug
gest the holding ot county meetings to
consider the question of the removal
of the State capitol back to Milledge
ville.
On motion, the proceedings of the
meeting were ordered to be published
in the McDuffie, Journal, Thomson Ad
vertiser and the Chronicle & Sentinel.
Meeting then adjourned. ~

has the knack of being always on the

Stephens, and the policy of the Demo
cracy. The views are identical with
those urged in these columns for
months.
It is the source of much regret to the
mnuy ad miring friends of Mr. Stephens
that he has placed himself in seeming
antagonism to the great majority of the
Democratic party South, in reference
to what is called the “ New Departure.
The people of the North fully under
stand that we of the South are a uuit
in opposition to the principles of the
Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amend*

serve the power of that united opinion
for future assertion, by refusing to take
any active or controlling part in shap

of the beat grades, and special attention paid to t
regular supply of GOOD FLOUR, MEAL, and
met and decisive victories won, that
our counsels in the future legulation
of the country may be felt and sup
ported by the strength of a united
public sentiment aud the tried conser
vatism of ft people long and patiently
suffering under a sense of State and
national oppression.
The people of ihu South should per
mit no questions of mere party success
to diminish their respect for the counsels
of her public men—those who, in the
cabinet aud forum, have given her a
name in the history ot nations by their
wise statesmanship and transcendent
ability, or those who have illustrated
her love of liberty and sense of honor
gloriously on the field of strife.
YVe regret to nctice an article in the
New York YVorld of the 2d insb, on
“Mr. Stephens as a political counsellor
and prophet,”and though sympathizing
with the general views of the YVorld as
to the line of policy to be adopted to
insure tlie success of the Democratic
party in the next Presidentlafraee, yet
we cannot permit mere party adhesion
to involve us in any attacks upon our
trusted public men. There should be
a large margin allowed at the South for
differences on national polities, and if
the triumph of the Democratic party
should signalize a restoration of con
stitutional government, we can safely
promise the hearty cooperation of our
leading public men in unriveting the
shackles upon us, and their firm and
energjaed support of all rigbtftil anthor-
