LETTER FROM HON. B. H. HILL.
La Grange, Ga., Sep. 14, 1877.
Hon. B. H. Hill, Atlanta, Ga.:
Dear Sir—Come down andseo your old friends
and tell thorn what you think about tho ratifica
tion of tho now constitution and the location of
our Stato capital. You know our people would
all bo glad to boo your familiar face hero at your
old homo. Please name an early day when you
can come to LaGrango and address tho people
of Troup county on tho subject named. What
is tho true interest of tho tax payer, as to tho
locatiou of the oapital ? Is it most ooouoinioal
to lot tho oapital remain iu Atlanta or romovo it
to Milledgevillo ?
Very truly, your friend,
D. N. Speer.
<* A farm house near St. John’s, N. B., was

house, escaped.
Judge Kelly estimates tho independent voto
of Pennsylvania anywhere between twenty and
eighty thousand, and that no one can toll which

The Irwinton Southerner &, Appeal says: Fos
ter Blodgott favors tho ratification of tho now
constitution. This is the most serious blow that
has been aimed at it.
The Carrollton Times is glad Hayes visited
Atlanta; says “his policy has been all that any
lover of his country could wish;" and thinks he
ought to bo sustained.
A colored woman iu Milledgeville has lost
both legs, but is tho mother of two healthy chil
dren. Let the capital be restored to tho halls of
those children’s fathers.
Two of the robbers of tho Union Pacific ex
press train have been killed, and eighty pounds
of gold recovered. So says a dispatch to mili

The Maiietta Journal pertinently wants to
tenow how much Ham and Speer, tho “Old Cap
ital" editors, wero “corrupted" during their
.clerkship in the Legislature.
•Mb. Evarts expresses regrets that tho Repub
lican party in New York was divided as in sev-
^enty-one. And Mr. Evarts is not tho only Re
publican who will regret that division.
An exchange says a certain college “opened
with encouraging prospects." That is good.
How many eucouraging prospects will bo re
quired to support a small corps of teachers?
The Charter Oak Life Insurance Company re-
'quires relief from its policy holders to the
amount of forty per cent., otherwise it will go
where others havo gone—into tho hands of a
receiver.
The Greenesboro Herald says: “Hayes has
acted so kindly towards us Southern people,
that we havo almost forgotten that he is a fraud.
It is well to feed him high so long as he keeps
np his present policy."
Mr. Hayes, calm aud collected, after his
Southern tour, is determined that New York
officeholders shall not set liis administration at
defiance, and we may look for stirring times iu
tfaat direction before long.
There’s Grubb, who steers the helm of the
Darien Gazette—we never could keep that boy
straight. Last winter he opposed Bon Hill, and
now he opposes Atlanta. This is all owing to
the low latitude he lives iu. Como up higher,
Richaid.
Major General Pearson, who commanded
the State troops during tho riot at Pittsburg,
has been arrested on a charge of murder, and
has been committed to jail. Tho charge sets
forth that one Stoffed, while sitting in his
own door, was killed by the fire ordered by
Pearson.
The Houston Home Journal is not pleased
with the cordiality of tho receptiou of Hayes,and
“hopes never to see Georgia again bow the knee
to this usurper, just because he occupies a high
position gained by fraud, forgery, perjury and
violence." Don’t “werry” yourself, brother
Martin; Georgia’s knee is all right.
Mbs. Ophelia Snow was thrown out of a wag
on while being driven by her husband who was
drunk. The liquor was sold him by D. C. Car
penter & Sons, hotel keepers, whom sho sued for
damages, and recovered a veidict of $2,800. It
was a test case under tho new law of Vermont,
which makes the seller of liquor responsible in
damages.
The Conyers Register alluding to tho yellow
fever in Florida, the storms in Texas, the cattle
thieves in Kansas, the grasshoppers in Iowa,and
the strikers in Pennsylvania, draws this conclu
sion:
“But middle Georgia Is free from all these pests and is
quiet and productive. Let her people be content and
•ettle and build up their homos for thoro is no doubt that
tt la the beet country on the globe."
Political matters are getting red h?t in Wash
ington as the session oi -Congress approaches,
and leading Repnblicaus of both factions oi the

Conover; that he would staud by the principles
of the Republican party but would be tail to no
one's kite.
He feels favorably toward seating Butler and
Spofford, but oould not determine until he heard

U*»VRTSON r LT¥5LIE A CO., Agents, Troup Facliy
Atlanta, Ga., 8ep. 29,1877.
My Dear Sir— I reoeived your very kind letter
some days ago. You asked mo to visit La-
Grange and give my viows to my old neighbors
in Tioup county, ou tho new constitution and
tho capital question. I regret I shall not be
ablo to visit you, but I will briefly express my
views which you can hand to the Rsportor for
insertion in its columns.
Ou tho question of ratifying tho new consti
tution I need only to re-afflrm tho opinions I ex
pressed to a public meeting in this city at tho
close of tho Convention. For tho rensons thou
given, and for many which I might now add, I
think the constitution ought to be ratified. What,
ever objectiounblo features may exist can be
readily cured by amendment. As indications
point clearly to an almost unanimous ratifica
tion, I shall not discuss this question further.
On the other question suggested for my viewR
—whether tho future capital of our Stato shall
bo Atlanta or Milledgevillo (for wo aro restrict
ed to these two cities)—there seems to bo quite
a division of public opinion. I think this di
vision is largoly owing to irrelevant and im
proper issues made iu tho discussion by tho
mere partisans of tho respective cities. The
people of either city aro quito as good as tlioso
of the other city, aud no better. Neither city
has any natural or acquired right to be the future
capital, and the interests of neither should be
considered. My own opinion is it will not se
riously benefit either city to havo the capital,
nor seriously injure either to bo without it.
Much of our history, as a Stato, was enacted at
Milledgeville, but that city did not enact it. The
work was done by the people of the State—
through their representatives, and while tho
dear old city is olassio ground iu all the future,
the work wbioh makes it classic was Georgia
work, and not Milledgevillo work. There are
no better people in this State, or in any other
State, than tho people of Milledgeville. Mem
ories, both sad aud pleasant, cause me to revere
tho place aud cherish its people.
The removal of the capital to Atlanta in 18G8,
was part of a bold usurpation. But the people
of Atlauta voted against tho usurpation—voted
against tho whole and every part of it. It is,
therefore, not only unjust but, in my judgment,
exceedingly unmanly even to attempt or desiro
to create prejudice against Atlanta becauso of
this usurpation. Besides, the convention has
wisely submitted this capital question as a sep
arate, independent and original proprsition to
tho people, aud it is unfair to seek to influence
votes except ou its merits as an original proposi
tion.
To influence voteR by untrue or unjust meth
ods or reasoning is not only wrong, but moro
than ordinarily wroug since it injuriously affects
public interest, and public interests aro greater
than private interests.
Discarding, then, all personal, all local and all
unjust and improper considerations, let us con
sider only those reasons which should properly
influence us in deciding the simple question
whether Milledgeville or Atlauta is the better
place for the future capital of Georgia.
1. Which place would be the most conven
ient to tho greatest number of our people ?
This is the first and great consideration always
arising in locating a capital. My own opinion
is that Atlauta, at this time, is conveniently ac
cessible to twico as many ot our pcoplo as Mil-
ledgoville. In the near future this number will
increase. Tho time is not distant when tho
number will be five-fold. It is, indeed, a rea
son which will grow constantly in strength. I
do not doubt that population will increase iu
lower Georgia, but middle and upper Georgia
will increase in population much more rapidly.
No man who knows tho history of populations
in America can differ with me on this question.
Now, is it right, is it jckt for a minority to in
sist that tho greatest number shall be subjected
to inconvenience for their own accommodation?
I think not. If I lived in Milledgeville I should
vote, as a sense of duty, for Atlanta to bo the
future capital unless there are other reasons out
weighing this one.
2. Iu the next place let ns consider tho ques
tion of economy, for this is an important matter.
Tho public buildings now belonging to tho
State, in Atlauta. are quite as good (I think bet
ter) as those in Milledgeville. If the future cap
ital goes to Milledgeville, tho present capital
building in Atlanta will be practically lost to
the State, for I happen to know' that this city is
entitled justly aud honorably to subject this
building to a debt that will cover it if the capi
tal is removed. And the State is a party to this
contract, made not by a Republican but by a
Democratic State administration.
If a new capitol has to l e built, it will cost os
much to build it in Milledgeville as in Atlanta.
The State will certainly be greatly aided iu At
lanta and it will not be aided in Milledgeville.
Take any view of the question of economy
and it is clear to mo that tho advantage is with
Atlauta.
3. I hope this question ns to where our capi
tal shall be in the future will now be settled for
all time.
It will not be so settled if Milledgevillo is now
selected. For many years before the war there
was an ever growing feeling to remove the capi
tal from Milledgeville. Every reason which
created this feeling still exists and will grow
stronger. Especially will this bo the case it tho
vote in favor of Milledgeville is secured by ap
peals to mere prejudices. Georgia is a growing
State. She is destined to be a very great and
populous State. The child is born who will see
four millions of people in upper Georgia with
Atlanta as the great central city, with over one
hundred thousand inhabitants—porhaps several
hundred thousands. There aro far more rea
sons for population to come to upper Georgia
than ever existed in Massachusetts or Pennsyl
vania. Every variety of industry will thrive in
upper Georgia and will be a necessity of the fu
ture.
The business of the capital will greatly multi
ply, and that great population of the future will
certainly return the capital to Atlanta if we now
fix it at Milledgeville. Tho agitation which ex
isted before the war on this subject will be re
vived in the very nature of things and will in
crease. Let as settle it now for all time and
end the agitation. If the capital had been re
moved to Atlanta in 18G8, by n fair vote of our
people, and had not been a feature of the usur
pation of that period, every body would be sat
isfied with Atlanta as the capital and tho pres
ent agitation would not exist.
It is said tho legislature will be more exposed
to corrupt influences in Atlanta. There is less
than nothing in this point. The corruptions of
the last ten years had their origin in the times
and have existed everywhere. Corruption does
not come of places but of men. The only guaran
tee of good and honest government is in capa-
e and honest men in office, and this is all with
neople.
w'togi therefore, at the question in the
4 <>he present and the future, and consid-
mouB,
Bonds, .
printed o«
oring only the interest of tho State, I am vory
clearly of tho opinion that Atlauta is tho most
proper place for tho futuro oapital of Georgia.
Milledgevillo must give way to Atlanta as Louis-
villo did to Millodgnvillo, and as Savauuah did
to Louisville. It iH simply tho result of tho
growth of things and is no iujiiBtioo or discredit
to Millodgovillo or any othor plaeo.
With highest regards, I am,
Your friend,
Bbnj. II. Hill.

—Wo learn from the Sandersvillo Herald that
Mr. Thomas Warthen met with quito a painful
accident a few days ago at his gin-house, at
Warthen. “While adjusting tho breast of his

np by tho saw, dragging his arm with it, nnd ro
severely injuring it up to the elbow, that Dr.
Brantley, who had been immediately sent for,
found it necessary to amputate tho ring finger

—Tho following we take from the Irwinton
Southerner & Appeal: “Our readers will recol
lect tho publication by us several months ago ol
the particulars of an attempt by a negro in Laur-
"*•., nunty to violate the person of a married la
dy while she was sleeping by the side of her
husband, and that the husband was thrown
violently to the floor by tho'nogro and badly in
jured when he attempted to get a weapon to
shoot tho black brute. This negro was appre
hended and lodged in Laurens jail, whero he
remained up to a low days ago. Several nights
ago a party of unknown men went to Dublin
and aroused the jailor from his bed and de
manded the jail keys. He refused to su render
them. They then took him in custody and sent
a committee into his house to search for them.
They were found, and the party then proceeded
to tho jail aud took out tho brute aud left. The
next day his lifeless body was found near Yopp’s
mill, hanging to a tree by the ueok and perfora
ted with numerous bullet holes. "While wo do
not deplore his fate, we regret that he was taken
from tho officers of the law and thus summarily
dealt with. Brutes of his character should nev
er bo allowed to see the inside of a jail.”
—A white man, and a negro named William
Waller, were attacked by a party ot five drunken
negroes near Stiusonville, three miles from Ma
con on Saturday evening last, which resulted iu
the killing of Waller by a negro named W
Holt. One ol the party has beon arrested, aud
is now iu jail, aud officers aro now in pursuit of
the others.
BEND GORDON BACK.
Why,who ovor thought of doing anything
else? “John Gordon never did anything disin
terestedly for the State," says au auonytuouB
Boribblor from Bartow. “Johu Gordon made a
baigaiu aud sale of Tildon to save tho South,"
says Joo Brown. “Johu Gordon has but littlo
braiu," says tho pompous village politioiau, who
cannot fill a constable's offico if ho oould got it.
But do tho people oaro for that; they know Johu
Gordon; they kuuw his lather boforo him.
Zoohariah Gordon, tho faithful Bnptist preaohor,
who, lor over filty years, did work without fee
or reward to sa\e souls. They know.that Johu
Gordon was a pure boy iu colloge; that ho boro
off tho honors of his school; that ho inarriod
tho woman ho lovod and wont to hard work to
maiutaiu his family. That ho was a captaiu
iu 1801, a major boforo his rogimout was sont to
battle, that ho was thou colonel, thou brigadier;
that ho stood iu tho foro of every battle line,
that his haudsomo l'uoo was scarred aud his no
ble body was riddled by bullets, that ho was in
the field again before his wouuds woro healed;
that ho was thou Major-General,thou Lieut.Gen
eral, that Gen. Loo leaned ou him as his second
self; that ho was at tho death tho last to sheathe
his sword. That he camo home with no half
million of dollars awaitiug him, but pouniloss.
That ho weut to work, that ho did every thing
au houest mau was required to do to make a
living. That he was elected Governor, that ho
was cheated out of it, that ho won his place in
the Senate over Stuplieus and Hill; that ho has
dono moro for the South than any Senator in
Congress; that South Carolina aud Louisiana
owe their freedom largely to him. Tho people
know all this, nnd woe bo to tho man who says
to Johu Gordon, slay at home. That inau may
prepare to rusticate leaver, •••
The Barnesville Gazette says that Hampton
and Gordon “bootlickod" Hayes; that there is
something suspicious in the manner in which
tho President was welcomed; which will bo re
vealed by tho future. The Gazette asks how
Hampton could havo timo to go to Keutucky“to
usher Hayes into tho South," aud not havo time
to stay n day iu Atlauta. Wo bog to inform tho
Gazette that Hampton did not go to meot Ilayes;
ho went to deliver an address iu llocklord, Illi
nois, nnd camo back part of tho way with tho
President. As to tho welcome Hayes recoived,
it was only a cordial specimou of Southern hos
pitality, aud au indorsement by the South ot
Hayes’ honest and faithful administration. Ro-
ally, Bro. McMichael, could our pooplo havo
done less?
The New York Sun, with sublimo complacen
cy, says that New York is the key to the political
situation. When it is remembered that New
York nominated McClellan, Seymour, Greeley
nnd Tildeu, that none of her nominees have
gained their places, it looks very much liko her
key locks the wrong door.
Some cruel slanderer has charged Dr. Keyes,
of Florida, with giving chloroform in deadly
quautity to his dying wife, hastening a death
which would have beon delayed. It was a sluu
d-. r, diabolical enough and easily refuted, but
tho slanderer goes unwhipped of justice.
