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 burned Friday and eight children perished in the flames. The mother, the only adult in the house, escaped. Judge Kelly estimates tho independent voto of Pennsylvania anywhere between twenty and eighty thousand, and that no one can toll which will be most hurt. 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 tary headquarters at Chicago. 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 party do not heeitabe to express their opinions freely. Conover, one of Florida’s Senators, says that ho is first for Florida and next for 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 the claims of Corbin aud Kellogg discussed. The Kemper County Desperadoes Indicted. —Letters received in Washington from Kemper county, Miss., furnish tho information that a grand jury of that county has courageously fol lowed the advice given to them by the presiding •’^r^^j.^qharge on the opening of the fall never will."

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. D. N.

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.

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.
