Our advice has always been to our peo

after that to cultivate all the cotton they

From au editorial uotico in the last Echo,
highly complimentary to the Hon. W. M.
Willingham, and from a flattering allusion
by a correspondent of the same paper to
the Hon. James M. Smith, we think it
quite probuble that these two geutlemeu
will be brought forward as candidates for
the House of Representatives from that
couuty.
From a loug acquaintance with both
these gentlemen we can fully endorse all
that has been said of them by their friends
in the Echo, and are confident that their

antee for “ good and faithful service” to
Oglethorpe in the future.

MILLEDGEVILLE OB ATLANTA.
EulMT BxtnkTaguce.
Messrs. Editors:
While I am tar from being one of those
who refuse to listen to the voice of senti
ment in discussion of the relative merits of
Milledgeville and Atlanta as the seat of our
State Government—while I admire and ap
plaud the feeling of those who express a pref
erence for ‘ the halls which ourfathers built,’
because it is au evidence of that elevation
of soul and goodness of heart which con
st' tute the purest patriotism—I am ready
to discuss the question on the purely ma
terial ground of economy. Will it be more
economical for the people of Georgia to es
tablish the capital at Milledgeville than at
Atlanta ! Will it cost less t Will J;he bur
then of taxation be made less grievous by
returning to “ the halls that our fathers
built?”
I answer, yea, verily, to the foregoing
questions, and I now proceed to state why
I answer thus.
Will it be more economical f We all
know that the State of Georgia now owns
the old capitol buildings at Milledgeville,
and thnt to repair the damages done by
Bullock Vandals, and the iiyury resulting
from their being unoccupied for many years,
would not cost more than a few thousand
dollars. It is estimated by competent
judges that ten thousaud dollars would
cover all tbjt cost or refofirs ^ud would
’ make uib buildings fully Adequate to^the
Treasonable wants of the Government for
many years to come. This sum, and the
amount thnt would be necessary to defray
the expense of moviug the archives and
furniture from Atlanta to Milledgeville
would be the total cost of the return to the
“ halls that our fathers built.” On the oth
er hand, if Atlanta shall be made tho capi
tal, wo all know that a new capitol must
be built out aud out. The present H. I.
Kimball Opera House, whose foundations
and superstructure are as unsubstantial
and unsale as the financial credit of the
individual whose name it bears, and as the
political honesty of tho Bullock-Pope usur
pation which traded with Atlanta for it,
cauuot continue to be the capitol of Geor
gia. Besides, the State does not own this
tumble-dowu barrack. Atlauta controls a
mortgage on it for nearly, if- not quito,
890,000, and it is very doubtful whether it
could be sold to-day for the amount of the
mortgage. At all events, to acquire a val
id title to the property, the State must pay
890,000 aud then, what has she got?
rickety building which she could only use
temporarily, which every oue admits is in
adequate aud uucomfortable, and wholly
unsuited as well in appearance as iu ac
commodation to the dignity of the State
We must, then, if the capital be fixed at
Atlanta, go to work at once to erect new
Government buildings—a new capitol
We do not propose—no one proposes
—to build a cheap temporary State House.
If we build at all, let us build a magnificent
capitol worthy of the State, adequate to its
wants for a century to come. At tho least
calculation sucli a building would cost two
millions of dollars. It would probably cost
double that amouut But let us say two

Editors Southern "Watchman .•—The
time has arrived wheu._the people not
only of our county but throughout the
State are called upon to select suitable
men to represent us iu the next Legisla

important that has devolved upon tbe
people since the found&fon ot the State

old organic principles to those of the new

responsible duty, -"‘V •
Now, Messrs. Editors, to tho point: To
meet the exigencies upon us let us be up
and consideriug the AH important matter.
Let us be wise and prudent, iu our selec
tion, rather than controlled by our per
sonal preferences and prejudices. There
are many young men in our midst we
delight to honor at the proper time, but
now the county demands men of experi
ence. Seeing-tboMtaEUartton has declined
re-election, the nAOJes of Col. James H.
Huggins and MayorH*. G. Talmadge have
been proposed. We have naught in the
world to say against our friend Talmadge.
We know of no youug man who deserves
higher praise for the position he has taken
in our community as jm honorable and
useful citizen. So lethiis praises be sound
ed. Col. H. has served several years
in the Legislature of'Georgia. He is expe
rienced, and largelyHUcquainted through
out the State. His services in the army
still add to his extended experience and
acquaiutauce; and hot to disparage the
claims of others who may aspire to repre
sent our couuty, whine Satisfied that our
best interest at this time, gives the pre
ference to Col. H., dnrl that he is the most
available and acceptable man to our peo
pie at present. 1 Many Voters.
Rapid Transit.
While in Lula one night last week, we
saw lour car-loads of cotton transferred
from tin* Northeastern railroad to the
through freight train of tho Air.Line road,
and learned that it would reach Charlotte
the next morning at an early hour. This
is very quick transportation of freight, ami
shows the advantageous worth ot the
Northeastern road to Athens more plainly
thau we could in a full column editorial.
Let tho people of Athens aud vicinity
stand by their railroad firmly, and encour
age aud patrouize it to the best ot their
ability.
Singular Freak of Nature.
We are informed by Judge J. H. David,
of Banks county, that Lewis Johnson, Esq.,
living near Jefferson, Jackson county, has
a call with a bunch of hair growing near
the centre of one ot its eyeballs. This is a
singular treak ot nature, and we never
heard of but one similar case. When our
father was living two miles below this city,
some years ago, he raised a cow with a
patch ol hair growing out of the ceutre of
each eye, aud strange to say, her sight was
not affected by it.
Burned.
We regret to learn that Mrs. Amanda
McGinnis, residing near Harmony Grove,
Jackson county, had the misfortune to lose
her dwelling and kitchen by fire, on Satur
day night of last week

be such a difference between the charges
of two houses iu the same neighborhood.
This was brought to our mind last week
in traveling up the Northeastern and Air
Lice Railroads. Wo stopped for supper at
Belton, got a very good ordinary meal, for
which we had to pay seventy-five cents,
while in the villages of Augusta, Ac., the
first-class hotels only charge fifty cents for
a single meal.
On our return we took supper at the
new hotel of Mr. J. H. Banks, at Lula, less
than a mile distant from Belton, got a meal
far superior to the one at Bolton, were al
lowed twice as loug a time in which to eat
it, and oily paid him 50 cents.
We’mention this matter in order that the
people may protect themselves against
such exorbitant charges.

Revival of Builam in Blew York.
The New York Sun of Monday says:
“ However the case may stand with other
commercial centres, there is no longer
any room for doubt or question as to the
revival of trade here in the metropolis.

Finding tho Stolen Mail Key.
Our readers will remember that some
weeks ago we inentioued tho fact that sev
eral stores at Harmouy Grove hid been
brokeu open and robbed, and that among
other things, the burglars had stolen the
wail key and some offioial stamps from
Mr. Goss’ store.
Judge Jas. H. David, who lives in a few
miles of Harmony Grove, was in our office
on Friday last, and he iuformed us that a
few days since some of the police force of
Borne bad arrested a man in that city who
was passing under the assumed name of
Robson, on ths charge of carrying con
coaled weapons, and upon searching him
they found iu bis possession a mail key
and official stamps exactly corresponding
with those stolen from Harmony Grove.
Upon learning these facts, Mr. Goss im
mediately telegraphed the authorities of
|fofoe,to detaiu Robson, but it was too
,00, as he had paid the fine imposed upon
Mm by the city and been set at liberty
Thougii the civil officers are keeping a

very freely as to the President Of the
President’s Southern policy, Early said that
when Hayes came into possession of tbe
President’s office he found himself possess
ed of a tainted titie, and made a virtue of
necessity when he removed the troops
from the South. “ Show me a place,” said
Early, “where Hayes has condemned the

The Baatma War.
The rainy season havtog now set in, it
is probable that active operations will
have to be suspended in the East nntil the
(opening of Spring,
the amount of the present load of State in
debtedness. Atlanta’s offer by her Mayor
and Council even though it be “ filed in
the Executive office,” to build a capitol at
her expense “ as good as that at Milledge
ville,” is no more binding on her in law or
morals, (and she knows it) than if she were
ta offer through the same parties to build
a canal from tbe Kimball House to Savan
nah. The law forbids it. And, Messrs
Editors, were it otherwise—could she do so
—as a citizen of Georgia, I never would
cousent that the State should iucur such a
debt of obligation to one of its cities. We
may want economy. We may be satisfied
with buildings that were considered amply
sufficient when Berrien, Colquitt, Stephens,
Crawford, Lumpkin and Billups represented
Georgia constituencies in our General As
sembly; but if we must change, if we
must go to Atlauta, let the whole people
build their own capitol. Let .us own it
tree irom unsatisfied mortgages and unful
filled pledges, Let us have a grand capitol
whose dome will “ rise to meet the suu in
his coming,” and as every citizen of Geor
gia visits it, let him enjoy the feeling of in
dependence and pride resulting from tbe
knowledge that the State of Georgia built
it, and that not one block in it from cellar
to dome is due to tbe charity or tbe greed
of any particular locality or people.
To sum up. I invite the honest tax-pay-
ers of Georgia to examine carefully the
following comparative estimates:

Washington, September 29.—The Iu-

mlnflation on tho the part of tho govern
ment that the Indians shall come to the
Missouri river this trtftter, with the prom
ise tba; their lands shall be surveyed, aud
they may select tl^efr ponies next year. It
appears from the pfosident’s speeoh that
adherents of Crazy Horse' and Lame Deer
have gone north: ’and the presidents inti
iw
in-
of
with a, view
to a fierce war ag^qst hostiles, which in
eludes all who are not under control
agents. Stores for the Indians have been
sent to tie Missouri river, and the Indians
have the alternative of going to their stores
or goiug without them. The Indians seem
apprehensive that ifthey leave their homes
for the Missouri river, they will not be al
lowed to go back. The indications are
not favorable to an .early termination of
the Indian troubles,
The fnrthur conference with the Indian
delegations which Whs to have been held
this morning at executive mansion has
been postponed till Monday. The Indians
have not yet agreed on their response to
tho president, and wfil hold another coun
cil on the subject.' They caunot yet recon
cile themselves to removal from their pres
ent locations, and are much depressed by
tho policy of tho government as yesterday
expressed by the president.
