ESTILD, Savannah, Ga. lows: State of Georgia, City of Atlanta: “To nil whom it tuny coueern: Tim tn..yor uud council ol thu city oi Atlanta huruny certify that there is due tho city ol Atlanta to tin* State ol Georgia iveu cr cent bonds of suid city to the amount of $130,000 which stud bonds Kind mayor and council propose to contribute toward the chase, by the Suite, of the Kimball opera iiouse property, and which said proposition has eu accepted, aud tho puichasehas been made, id bonds are to be delivered to the holder of this certificate upon tho return theieof.” Tho certificate was deposited by H. I. Kimball with tho Governor, to iudemuily tho State against a mortgage for $00,000 that was out standing against said property, thus purchased. Ou the 25th day of August, 1870, II. I. Kim ball gave to thu city the following receipt: ‘Received of the city council of Atlauta,thirty thousand dollars of bonds, which they have con tracted to give to the {Stale iu part pay weut for capitol buildiug." The bonds of the city council of Atlauta to the amount ol $100.000, were prepared, - earing date October 29, 1870, and ou tho — day of Decem ber, 1870, E. N. Kimball presented the before mentioned certificate to the city authorities of Atlauta, aud they delivered to E. N. Kimball $75,000 ol the bonds ol the city, audE. N. Kim ball delivered up said certificate to tho city au thorities. At the time these $75,000 bonds were deliver ed to E. N. Kimball, some question arose b* « tween the city council aud Kimball ubout in terest. This question was settled between Kim ball aud the city council, and ou the 31st of De cember, 1870, the balance of the $100,000 of the city bouds were delivered to Kimball. How this certificate of $100,000, that was placed iu the bauds of the autuorities of the State, for thu protection of the Statu against tho mortgage that vat outstanding aguiust the capitol build ing, gut out of thu hands ot the executive of the State, aud iuto the bauds of Kimball, while tho mortgage was still iu lull force against the property, is a question that your committee have not been able to determine. Wo learn that there is an investigation now being hud in the courts of this state that may throw some light ou this question. Our investigation does not, however, justily tho couolusiou that the city of Atlanta had anything to do with this certificate, after it was placed iuto the bauds of the State, uutil it was presented and tho bonds were demanded. Ou the coutrary, alter a patient and careful investigation, we are satisfied tnat tho city ol Atlanta has acted in the utmost good fuith, aud that they have nearly paid every dollar that they have agreed to pay toward tho purchase of the oapitol buildiug. It appears that at the time of tho purchase of oapitol by the State, that there was a mortgage ot $60,000 outstanding and uusatisfied agaiust the property, which wus to be paid before the certificate was delivered up to auy one, aud thereby leave the title uueucuiubored. This for some reason, was not done and since that time this mortgage has “ueu foreclosed on this property by B. H. Hill it Son, attorneys for holders of the mortgage. Ou the 19th day of July, 1876, tho city ot Atlanta paid off aud had truusterred to them the judgment aud ti. fu. ihithad been obtained on the foreclosure of said mortgage for which they paid tho sum of $78,233.90. This 11. fa. and judgment is still hold by tho city of Atlanta with an agreement entered into between Governor James M. Smith and Die city of Atlanta, the said li. la. should not be enforced against said property so long us tho oapitol shall remain at thu city of Atlanta. Wo have made a personal examination of thu books in which tho bonds of tho city arc regis tered. and wo are satisfied that the bonds of the city were issued ns above stated. It gives us pleasure hero to slate what wo had heretofore doubted, that iu all tilings, as far as wo can as certain alter acarclul investigation, that the city authorities have not only paid all that they ever agreed to pay toward tho oapitol, but that they have taken up, in addition thereto, which they still hold, tho mortgage, judgment and li. fa. previously referred to. That tho State has been greatly wronged in tho purchase of tho capitol wo do not doubt but that tho fault is attributable to tho city authorities of Atlaua wo have no rousou to bo- lievo WIIAT CIEN. TOOMBS SAYS. (From tbo Baltimore Gazette.) A reporter of tho Gazette had a lengthy con versation upon political topics with General Toombs. Ho said tho democratic party should sustain Mr. Ilayes lor his maintenance of their principle. Ho released South Carolina and Lou isiana, and so doing it-was no new policy, but simply carrying out what tho democratic party had for years contended for. It was tho whole duty of the south to sustain tho president. lie thought Mr. Hayes AN HONEST MAN and a patriot, and those who opposed him were tho people who wish to govern the oountry by sectional bate. Tho courso of Mr. Hayes in abolishing the government of force has beou very great. Conkling, Blaine and other radical leaders had rnado a great mistake. They wish to govern the south by the hatred of tho north, while Mr. Hayes proposes to govern the couutry honestly and fairly aud will restore nationality to the Union. They propose to govern the country by a section, while Hayes proposes to govern by tho whole couutry. The radical lead ers will discover they cannot govern thu south as they propose, but we will go together and support a national government. Gen. Toombs said lie was not “reconstructed,” but conformed. Although he had lost a million of dollars and between three or lour hundred slaves by the war, ho WOULD NOT RESTORE slavery if ho could. He further said that he had never uttered the foolish saying attributed to him, that ho would call tho roll of his slaves ou Bunker Hill. It was,like thousands of other statements attributed to him, a lie. lie was lired of contradicting tho story. He hud done so repeatedly in the seuate, and in other ways, hut the story wus still circulated. Only a few days ago ho was compelled to wiite to the presi- dtut of Brown university,usiu-.g him upon what authority ho made such a statement, and he d* - nounced the uuthor of the slander. General Toombs said ho was impotent agaiust the lies of a portion of the press. It is astonishing that people would believe the silly stories circulated about him. His father had been a colonel iu the tevolutionary army, aud hud caused him to be educated in this country and iu Europe, and had retired him as a gentleman. Hu had not entered public life uutil ho was thirty-lour years oi uge, and his record was well known and the public should discredit these continued reports of Btliy utterances attributed to him. Hu mid he was not the iuiiu to Buy such things. As to t lie vacancy on THE SUPREME RENCH, ho thought that John A. Cnnp- ell,of Louisiana, the greatest lawyer, ilhont tiny exception, ou the continent, should be restored to tlie bench, irom which he had retired at tho beginning ol tile war. There is no man more fit for the place m all the land, and it would be a most happy thing to do. Gen. Toombs said Mr. Hayes' title was not to bo questioned or inquired into. Good things come out of irregular revolutions, and it does not become the south to inquire into tho title ol Mr. Ilayes to the presidency. Hu is a great deal better w»u than Tilaen. The general said ho had voted for neither. While ho could not vote for Hayes, he being a republi can, he could not vote for Tildeti because ho bad been u Vau Bureu man in 1818. lie had no desire to RETURN TO PUBLIC LIFE, as ho had run his career and cannot run iu a new Hue. llis restiiotions were still upon him, and had uuver been removed. He would, how ever, serve the couutry iu any way that might be required of him either iu peace or war, bat not iu tho national couuoils as there he cannot play a new role. Ho wanted neither titles nor money, but wished to servo his country aud hu- muuity without auy reward, political or other wise . CHIPS AM) WIIKTMTOXEB.

Tho Springfield Republican thinks the Presi dent’s trip “really culminated at Atlanta Satur day, when thu capitul of tho Slate which gave Tilden his greatest majority turned^out to do him honor,” aud that “nothing could ho better than Governor Colquitt’s welcome to Ilayes us the Pacificator—“tho peace-maker between the brethren estranged’—and tho President’s re ply was his best speech of the whole trip.” Tho New York Herald is equally satisfied, aud even jubilant. It says: “Nothing could be bettor of its kind than his (the President’s) speech at At lanta, which wo printed yesterday. It was pitched iu the same kev as all his New England speeches uud ull his other Southern speeches, but it was not marred by any expression incon sistent with tho dignity of his great olllee. Be sides tho lesser merits of perfect good taste und exquisite tact it was marked throughout by a justness aud generosity ot sentiment which not only captivated his immediate hearers hut will command general upproval. Thu excellence of this speech may be iu part due to tho udmitable tone oi Governor Colquitt’s address of welcome. No speaker ever hit the mark mure exactly iu the middle than tho Democratic Governor of Geotgia did when he said to the President: ‘The great moving cause of those hearty demonstra tions which have greeted you since you reached Southern soil is to be found in tho generous confidence with which you believe wlmt we say and vour magnanimous trust, which will not exact clinging and servile guarantees."
