The Atlanta Son on the Removal of
the Capital.
The Atlanta S.un of the 5th iust.,
contains nearly a column of editorial
on the Capital question. The writer
admits the Capitol was taken from
Milledgeville by grossly unjust means.
He also, says he is willing to leave the
question to the people to decide. We
accept the proposition and are willing
to abide by a decision of the people,
when fairly expressed. The writer
calls Milledgeville “an out of the way
place,” when in fact it is at the center
of the State and as accessable as Atlan
ta. We expect to publish the article
of the Sun in our next issue, when we
shall have more to say on that subject.
Wednesday, April 9, 1873.
The Milledgeville Union lias a well-considered ar
ticle on the capital question. We should like to see
this matter settled. If the able legislators who are sent
to Atlanta would eat fewer goobers and attend to their
business, we would eoon see whether Milledgeville or
Atlanta is the capital.—Sav. Morning Aetrs.
The Milledgeville Union and Recorder has opened
its columns fora full and free discussion (as to the re
moval) of the capital question. The people, it says,
demand the return of the capital back to Milledgeville,
as the best and certainly the most proper place for
legislation. Put us down as in favor of Milledgeville.—
Sav. Republican.
The Capital.—We are glad to see
the people taking an interest in the
Capital question, and we hope not one
who has ever felt an interest in the
return of the Capitol to Milledgeville
has become discouraged. The will of
the people must and will be triumph
ant in the end ; all that is necessary is
“a long pull, a strong pul] and a pull
altogether.” Let us hear no longer
that the “proper time has not arrived.”
The time lias arrived for the question
to be settled. Let the Legislature
understand that when they meet again
such action must be had as will defin
itely and finally settle the matter. If
Atlanta is to be the Capital, let her go
to work and build that grand new Capi
tol “worthy of a great State,” and let
the public buildings at Milledgeville
be disposed of. The press of Savan
nah have again signified their approval
of a return of the Capital to its ancient
site. We hope they will not stop here
but will follow it up with an able
support of the proposition. Let the
press and people speak—there is now
nothing before the people of Georgia
of so much importance.
We invite attention to an article
in this paper over the signature of
“Warren.” Our correspondent brief
ly and pointedly goes into the merits
of the case.
Straws Show which way the Wind
Blows.
Many persons have all along be
lieved that Clews & Co., would make
another effort to collect the money on
their bogus bonds. They knew they
had plenty of money and would be will
ing to spend a large sum “where it
would do the most good” in gaining
their object. Their first object will be
to secure public opinion in their favor.
Failing in that, their next move
ment will be to secure a majority of
the legislature, through the influence
of the lobby ring of Atlanta. Their
first efforts to influence the popular
mind will naturally be made through
the press. Several of the conductors
ef the Georgia press were in favor of
accepting what Mr. Sneed called his
compromise. But as that was reject
ed by the legislature that plan will
probably be abandoned and some new
movement made. As an indication of
the way the wind blows at present,
we extract the following from a late
number of the Atlanta Constitution.
There are vital facts connected with
the Bullock bonds that necessarily the
Bond Committee could not get, be
cause they could not secure the wit
nesses. These facts will throw a flood
of light on the bad bonds, will show
up the dark practices of some of the
bondholders, and enlighten us as to the
real innocents in whose equities alone
i3 there any merit which the State
should recognize. It will require an
investigation by able, acute, resolute,
honest men, to get at these facts.
Georgia cannot act with safety and
honor until she does get them.
We are decided in our mind that the
bond settlement, as proposed, could
not be accepted by our State. Some
of its features will not stand the test of
careful and enlightened criticism. We
are equally decided that an investiga
tion should be had, and that Georgia
should do what, under the facts learn
ed, her honor requires.
We are glad to see that our ever
watchful cotemporary of the Chroni
cle & Sentinel has discovered and ex
posed this insidious movement at its
commencement. He caught the ball
at the first bound. He like ourselves
and the great body of the people oi
Georgia is decidedly opposed to reopen
ing this bond question again. A very
able committee after a long and faith
ful investigation have pronounced them
iilegal, null and void, and this is suffi
cient. Our Atlanta cotemporary does
not tell us what his vital facts are, or
from whence they are to come, that are
to change this whole question. Who
are the innocents for whose equities the
Constitution is so distressed? We say
they are the tax payers of Georgia,
who have already been swindled to the
tune of several millions. This new
movement in favor of reopening the
bond question looks suspicious. "It is
true it may be meal, but we should
not wonder if a large cat should be
found at the bottom of the pile.
JUDGE WABNER SUSTAINED,
l aw and Justice Again Restored to Georgia
From dispatches from Washington
we learn that the Supreme Court of the
United States has declared the Relief
and the Homestead laws of Georgia
unconstitutional, so far as they relate
to debts contracted before the passage
of the laws. This decision of the Su
preme Court of the United States sus
tains the minority decisions of Judge
Warner on these laws. It also removes
the principal objection to a Constitu
tional Convention in Georgia. Many
objected to the Convention for fear
these two Ordinances would be left
out of the new Constitution; but as
they have been disposed of by the
Supreme Court of the United States
that objection do longer exists.
Editor of the Union & Recorder
Dear Sir: I am very glad that you
intend to make the removal of the
State Capital back to Milledgeville one
of your special subjects in your paper
A very large majority of the people
in our section of the State are with
you, and I believe if a vote was ta
ken to-day on that question more than
two-thirds of the people would be in
favor of returning to the old Capital.
In the first place it was taken from
Milledgeville by fraud, and at the in
stance of a military officer supported
by carpet-baggers and a few scalawags
about Atlanta. A certaiu ring of
speculators wanted to get the Govern
ment in Atlanta that they by mana
ging the legislature might make money
out of the State. That this was their
object, and that they succeeded the
history of Georgia for the last five or
six years fully proves. They have
already plundered the State of mil
lions of dollars, and if the Capital re
mains in Atlanta they will finally suc
ceed in having Bullock’s fraudulent
Bonds paid, out of which they will
get a large per cent. A large major
ity of the people believe this, and
want the Legislature to act, but yet
many of the members refuse to act or
dodge the question. Their conduct is
mysterious. When they were elected
they were committed in favor of this
question but after they have been in
Atlanta a short time they become timid
and are afraid to vote for a Convention
of the people to amend a very defec
tive Constitution, for fear, as they
pretend, some mischief may be done
Let these gentlemen who are so fear
ful of trusting the people to mend
their own Constitution beware, or the
Garden Hotel.
We have often beard of Solomon, the wisest man,
and we stopped at his boose the other night; he keeps

the people may have had their eyes
tampered with by greenbacks. Clews
& Co. don’t want a Convention called
for fear a clause may be put in the
new Constitution forbidding any legis-
ture paying those fraudulent Bonds.
I see you have opened your columns
to the discussion of the question of
the location of the Capital, and I hope
gentlemen from all parts of the State
will avail themselves of the privilege
and let us hear from them. Keep up
the agitation until the question is fi
nally settled, The people have not
yet had a chance to vote on this ques
tion and they intend to be heafil. If
our legislators are too timid to speak
they might at least let the people
speak for themselves. Warren.
Washingtea G-only.
Editors Uijiox Sc. Recorder—We made a eliort
visit to the pleasant little town of SaEdersville the
other day. Coart was in session there, but adjourned
soon after we arrived. Judge H. V. Johnson—the
Judge of that Circuit—was presiding. He looked as
wise and clever ns of old times. After spending one
day add night at Sandersviile, we made our way to
Tennille (a station on the C. R. R-) to take the train
for Macon. While waiting for the arrival of the train,
we were highly entertained by a number of citizens,
the most of whom were farmers; they manifested a
great deal of interest iu the removal question; they
say Milledgeville is the place for the Capital and no
other is. They are anxious for a chance to vote on
this important question. The train arrived and we
bid our much esteemed friends adieu.
MACON.
On arriving at Macon (which was a little after
night fall) the first thing our eyes saw was the beauti
ful front of that magnificent Hotel the Brown House.
No sooner had we got off the train than a servant was
at our side to receive onr baggage and conduct us to
the Brown house. As nsnal we found polite servants,
a good table and accommodating proprietors. Morn
ing came, and business called us from place to place
over the city. We soon found ourselves at the busi
ness house of that well known firm Bernd Brothers,
manufacturers of and dealers in saddles, harness, leath
er, hides, shoe findings, &.C., &c. We were conducted
through the building by one of the firm. Ascending
from story to story, we passed several squads of em
ployees manufacturing bridles, saddles, harness, &c.
Each story (and there were several) was packed full
of either material or manufactured goods. They are
now manufacturing (as we understood them to say) all
their goods. We would here take occasion to say to
makers of boots, shoes, saddles, harness, and dealers
in the same to call at this house before purchasing
elsewhere. Before leaving the city we had the pleas
ure of making the acquaintance of Mr. A. McCaulie,
dealer in groceries, &c. He is doing a large commis
sion business. Farmers and country merchants going
to Macon for supplies would lose nothing by calling
and examining goods at this large house, fronting cot
ton Avenue;
We found the merchants generally, both wholesale
and retail, busily engaged in selling goods. We hope
business may be brisk all the summer—that the mer
chants of that flourishing city may not grow long
faced and down cast. N. 1.

Clover on Georgia Uplands.
The note of Mr. P. C. Morton, of Lexington, in yes
terday morning’s Constitution is entitled to more at
tention than its modest brevity may command. The
growing of clover is a very important matter in good
agriculture. It is an accepted theory in ail States,
that land, which will produce clover, can always be
made to enrich itself. A crop of clover turned under
is a wonderful fertilizing agent.
Mr. Morton's letter shows that our clay soils will
produce clover id spite of a Georgia sun. lie gives
the result of twenty differcut experiments in his neigh
borhood—enough, surely, to convince our farmers that
they can raise clover; and then the road to its u?e as a
fertilizer is a short one.
He sowed liia Virginia clover seed in late September,
using stable manure. About two weeks ago lie com
menced cutting a fine growth of it for his saddle horse,
and a week ago he cat a specimen two feet high, that
lays upon our table. At about the same time he sowed
piaster upon the land, at the rate of five pecks to the
acre. By the middle of this mouth he expects a hand
some return from his crop in the way of daily use.
The next crop will be permitted to mature, so that he
need not have to pay $40 a ton for Northern hay. The
third crop, turned under in September, will bring him
a flute crop of wheat next season.
We call the attention of practical agriculturalists iu
Middle and North Georgia to this important subject.
A crop of clover is considered a great blessing in other
sections—why may it not be turned to profiiable ac
count on our lands I It certainly will grow, and that,
too, prolifically.—Atlanta Constitution,3rd.
LETTER FROM COLQUITT.
Moultrie, Ga., March 31,1873.
Editors Union «$• Recorder: ’Tis quite refreshing
for us older heads to watch the manoeuvring of a par
cel of youngsters, male and female, when assembled.
It makes us torget that we are old and quite renews
our youth for the time being. Therefore, we nave re
frained from saying much concerning the “ rising gen
eration” of Colquitt, for it is generally presnmed that
“ old people” take but very little interest, if any at
all iu the frolics of youth, Lut-in this communication
we are disposed to devote a few lures to this subject,
•In
not in the form of a lecture, for we are no preacher ;
notin advice, for there is generally more given than re
quired or followed ; bnt in all friendship, simply to al
lude to the class called “ young people.”
In spite of our gray hairs oar heart is still young and
fresh, and we have many friends among those just bud
ding into man or womanhood—many who can and do
trust us with their little love affairs and courting scrapes.
But we do not intend to betray our young friends in
this communication. As to the girls of Colquitt, as an
old chum of ours once remarked, alluding to the girls,
“God bless them they are pretty anywhere.” They
do not form an exception to the general rule. They
are good looking, and not only so, but know a great
deal about the mysteries of house-keeping, and all the
little etceteras concomitant; and the young men and
boys are generally an “improved addition” upon the
old settler, haviug had better opportunities, more so
ciety and less inducement to devotetheirtime to hunt
ing and fishing, consequently they are growing np
with tastes far different from those of their parents
and others who came to this part of the country wheu
it was all a wilderness. Now of course we do not
meau to be understood to say that the above remarks
apply to all the young people of our couBty for there
never was a rule without an exception, anu there are
idle young men among us and girls that are idle also,
and instead of being pretty are, to say the least of
them, very homely; but beauty is only skin deep you
know, and ugly reaches to the bone ; so if they are in
dustrious and not uncommonly dull this makes no dif
ference.
A young friend of ours was telling us the other day
about his sweetheart but refused to tell her name. We
asked him to describe her, so that if we were acquain
ted with her we might recognize her by his descrip
tion. He said:
Cheap Ceal.
Let the entire Georgia pre»a nnite in a demand on
the railroads of the South to contribute each its pro
rata of coal cars to the coal trade. Our coal men tell
us that if five thousand coat cars were put into the
trade by the Georgia roads, coal, can be furnished at
svery depot in that State for less than two-thirds of the
present prices. Some estimate so low as one-bslf
present prices. If the rai'road kings of the South have
any sympathy for their poor, they will exert themselves
during the next summer to provide for this supply of
coal cars.— Chattanooga Times.
OOOD VOIDS
FOR THE
PAIN-KILLER.
“I cannot tell how bright she seems,
For fancy in her wildest dreams
Ne'er pictured one so fair.
Her step is like the bounding fawn,
The tints that glow her cheeks upon
Are like the hues which early dawn
Flings through the dewy air.
Nor can I tell how beauty's hue
Lies ’prisoned in her eyesot blue,
Nor bow the rosebud twining
In the soft splendor of her hair
Has caught a tint more rich and rare
Than ever it was want to bear
When in lone beauty pining.’’
We replied we thought we had seen her somewhere
but would not at present call her name ; for to tell the
truth, and we try sometimes to speak that which is
“ veracious,” we feared to venture on a guess at her
name j for we knew the young gentleman saw her
through “ eyes of love” which are like magnifying
glasses in one particular, and very dissimilar in another.
The graces and good qualities are increased in an un
accountable ratio, and the faults entirely hidden from
view.
Very good advice that of a father to his son who
ing you only kept one eye open; how since marriage
you will find it necessary to sometimes shut both.”
But enough about our young friends at present.—
Although it makes us feel young again to be with
them, and we almost forget as it were our surroundings
for the time being; yet stern reality soon whispers to
us we are gruwiug old, and we are awakened to the
present—that present which so soon slips by and be
comes the past.

by Gov-
The Proposed Inland Water Communica
tion Retween the Mississippi River and the

We feel that we cannot too strongly or persistently
urge this Subject on the attention ot onr citizens, con
vinced as we are that the key to Savannah's highest
commercial prosperity lies in the plan, of elongating
people may conclude not to trust dire Western inland system of navigation eastward, as

proposed by Colonel Raiford.
At an insignificant cost all the commercial .water-
roads of the valleys of the West and South can be
brought within twelve hours’travel of this city. The
power of such an improvement to reduce the cost of
transportation between the Western rivers and the
Atlantic ports to minimum rates, must, when investi
gated and understood, become so apparent to the
Western people that they will unanimously join with
the people of Georgia to have it made.
The cultivators of the soil throughout the West are
now immensely excited with the idea of cheaper
freights to Ailantic seaports and to Europe, and this
excitement will, in no manner, abate until the needed
relief is, in some way, obtained. It should, therefore
be the immediate business of Savannah to point out
to the people of that section the opportunity offered
to this end in the plan of Col, Railtord. It needs no
argument to elucidate the advantages cf this plan,

Terrible Marine Disaster-
Steamship Lost with over Seven Hundred
and Fifty Souls, including Women and
Children.
Dispatches from Halifax of the 1st
iust., state that the steamship Atlantic
of the White Star line, from Liver
pool March 20, for New York, run
ning short of coal, made for Halifax.
When about twenty miles from port,
off Cape Prospect, at half-past two
o’clock this morniug, she ran ashore
on Meagher’s Head. She had on board
over a thousand men, women and
children, of which only two hundred
and fifty succeeded in landing. The
remainder, including all the women
and children, were lost. The captain
and third officer were saved. The first
officer was drowned. On the first re
ceipt of the news of the disaster here,
the Cunard and government steamers
started to the assistance of the Atlan
tic, but the third officer, who arrived
here at half-past five this afternoon,
says the vessel and her cargo are a
total loss.
The Ill-Fated Atlantic.
Halifax, April 4.—A steamer has
arrived from the wreck of the steamer
Atlantic. The ship is still intact.
Two packages of her cargo have come
ashore. The swell continues heavy.
If the weather continues fine most
of the cargo will be saved. One hun
dred and sixty-four bodies were found
up to this morning. The work of
burying has commenced, and a gang
of men will be sent down this morning
to help in that work. The bodies of
J. H. P. Prince, H. S. Hewett,
Merrittand Miss Merritt, of New York,
Albert Sumner, of San Francisco, and
Henry Metcalff, the second officer,
*were brought to the city to-day.
The ingenius United States District
Attorney at Austin, Texas, has ad*
vanced the novel proposition that a
jury composed altogether of white
men is not a legal body. Grant ought
to promote that man to some decent
position where his talents would be
appreciated.
ongating the western river navigation as far east
ward as the Apalachicola, as shown by the projector
ofthe work, are readily understood by any one who
will investigate tlie subject; they prove, unquestiona
bly, the adaptability of the line for the improvement
suggested. All other questions involved in the subject
are determined, simply, by figures—by the cost of
transportation by water lines and by railroads, and by
tha distances over which each is employed. Hence
(here need be no more speculation as to the practice
bility of the proposed work, or as to its influence when
done, nor a douDt as to either.
When this improvement is made it can have no
rival as a cheap freight route between the Mississippi
river and the Atlantic ocean. There is no other point,
from the Northern lakes to the Gulf of Mexico, where
the Western and southern inland navigation system,
with adequate depths of water, approaches the Atlan
tic as near as fire hundred miles. This advantage can
in no way be overcome or resisted, and will, as surely
as the work is accomplished, control the direction of
all heavy and bulky freights between the Mississippi
valley and the Atlantic seaboard. Now is the propi
tious time for promulgating this new idea and showing
how it may be carried out. When Congress shall
again meet, the whole Western strength will be
brought to bear on that body, for some less costly
means of transportation than is now afforded, and it
will be effective if, in any way, the desired result can
be brought about.
Savannah should move in this matter at once; her
active leading men should put the ball in motion. To
be slow in movement now will be the loss of a year in
time, and the loss of that prestige which attaches to-
quick and bold action in the prosecution of important
designs.—Sav. News.
Fovernor Smith, with that appreciation of Georgia's
solid interests that has marked his whole administra
tion, has, as we have heretofore staled, called a Con
veution of Governors and leading citizens of the
Southern and Western States to meet in Atlanta on
the 20th day of May, to consider and forward that
great enterprise, the Atlantic and Great Western Ca
nal.

by Governor Smith to these geutlemcu :

Sir—I had the honor iu November last of calling
the attention of the Governors of many of the States
to the importance of the Atlantic and Great Western
Canal. By this work it is proposed to connect the
Tennessee river, and through that river the entire
system of inland navigatiort of the West with the At
lantic ocean at Savannah and Brunswick, Ga. I then
invited the Governors of many of the Western
States to meet at Atlanta for the purpose of con
sidering and-discussing the steps to be taken Tor the
accomplishment ot this grand enterprise. Owing to
unforeseen circumstances, that meeting was uuavoida

The Postmaster General, during
his trip through the South, will, as
far as possible, investigate the cause
of irregularity in the mail service
along the South Atlantic seaboard,
and when he returns to Washington,
the proper remedy will be applied.
It is the determination of the Post

the proper expectations of the peo-
jple.
sections of the country, has deepened and widene
In my judgment the time has' come for a meeting,
such as the one mentioned, in order that the advan
tages of the proposed enterprise may be more thor-
oughly discussed and understood, and some definite
plan of action for its accomplishment matured. My
object in addressing you this communication is to
earnestly and cordially invite you to unite in a conven
tion of the Governois of the Southern, Western and
Northwestern States, to be held for the purpose men
tioned at Atlanta, on the 20th day of May next.
As the proposed canal will run in most of its length
through this {state, it would seem proper for me, as
the Executive thereof, to take the initiative in this
matter. The advantages to result from the enterprise
under consideration are so obvious, that a mere lefer-
ence to them here is deemed all that is necessary. It
is, in fact, the only line of water communication be
tween the Atlantic seaboard and the West which can
be constructed at reasonable cost, and which would
be unobstructed at all seasons of the year. The best
means for securing cheap transportation to meet the
rapidly developing resources of the country, is the
question which should engage the thoughtful atten
tion of statesmen.
It is moreover my earnest desire that citizens of
other States, occupying official positions, 'should visit
car State, exainiue for themselves the facilities that
can be afforded for this great avenue of trade, and at
the same time enjoy the hospitalities of our people.
Such a visit would, in my opinion, conduce in no
small degree to a complete restoration of harmony
and good feeling between all sections of our common
country.
If it should not suit your convenience to be present
in person at the Convention mentioned, may I ask
that your Excellency will do us the honor to send
such a delegation thereto as will represent your own
wishes and the interests of yonr State.
I enclose herewith a copy of the report submitted
to Congress by the Committee on Commerce, to
which I respectfully invite your earnest attention.
Hoping to receive an early and favorable response
to'this communication, I am your Excellency’s obe
dient servant. JAMES M. SMITH,
Governor ot Georgia.
Hair Alive.
It is a sad thing to pass through life only half alive.
Yet there are thousands whose habitual condition is
one of languor and debility. They complain of no spe
cific disease; they suffer no positive pain; but they
have no relish for anything which aflords mental or
sensuous pleasure to their more robust and energetic
fellow-beings.
In nine cases out of ten this state of lassitude and
torpor arises from a morbid stomach. Indigestion des
troys the energy of both mind and body. When the
waste of nature is not supplied by a due and regular
assimilation of the food, every organ is starved, every
function interrupted.
Now, what does common sense suggest under these
circumstances of depression? The system needs rous
ing and strengthening; not merely for an hour or two,
to sink afterwards into a more pitiable condition than
ever (as
stimulant
nently.
How is this desirable object to be accomplished?
The answer to this question, founded on the unvarying
experience of a quarter of a centnry, is easily given.
Infuse new vigor into the digestive organs by a course
of Ilostetter’s Stomach Bitters. Do not waste time in
ad ministering temporary remedies, but wake the sys
tem up by recuperating the fountain head of physical
strength and energy, the great organ upon which all
the other organs depend for their nurtnre and support.
By the time that a dozen doses of the great vegeta
ble tonic and tnvigorant have been taken, the feeble
ftame ofthe dyspeptic will begin to feel its benign in
fluence. Appetite will be created, and with appetite
the capacity to digest what it craves. Persevere un
til the cure is complete—until healthful blood, fit to be
the material of flesh and muscle, bone and nerve and
bruin, flows through the channels of circnlation, in
stead of the watery pabulum with which they have
heretofore been imperfectly nourished.

Louisville, Kv., Oct. 8,1869.
Dr. John Bull—Dear Sir: Many thanks toyci
for the medicine you have so kindly given me. I Ui •
been a great sufferer for years, and had the advice of
various physicians. Some pronounced my spine, some
my lunp, and some my heart to be liieseat of my dis
ease. I have been burnt, blistered and cupped until
I had become dishearteued. Several very emineut
f hysicians who examined my Spine informed me that
was threatened witli paralysis or appoplexy any J _
and that nothing bnt a seton would relieve me. I had
a perfect horror of that, and was hesitating about
having one inserted, when you kindly sent me your
Sarsaparilla which I immediately begun to take three
times a day. I had suffered terribly with a most
acute pain m the right side of my head, especially
fen
when I would read or write for any length of time, and
on rising to my feel I would be pertectly blind for
several minutes, and would have to hold to something
to prevent falling.
I am most happy to inform you that the pain in my

My journal abounds with similar letters, all of
which I guarantee to be genuine and written by the
persons whose names they bear.
Do not suffer yourself to be imposed on. Don't be
drawn away after new and doubtful experiments.
Don’t risk your health by letting novices experiment
upon you with their trash. My Sarsaparilla lias stood
the test for twenty-five years ; it is etill the Sarsaparilia
of the day, and of the age, towering over all others in
popularity and its curative qualities. Avoid all those
who are trying to palm off on you other extracts of
Sarsaparilla, so-called. Remember it is Dr. John
Bull’s Sarsaparilla, of Lofflsville, Ky , that is the old
and reliable remedy for impurities of the blood and
scrofulous affections. Always bear that in mind.
