The forty-second annual sessiou of tho Stato Board of
Physicians will coavono in Milledgoville on the I3d of

Too late then lor doctors. The old lady will

The Louisville (Ky.) Evening News suggests
that the nominees iu 18S0 should be a Western
man and a Southerner, say llerscliol V. John
son. If a Georgian is to bo placed on tho tick
et, it should be ono of our Senators.
An old negro woman died at Mil'edgoville a few days
ago aged one hundred and twenty years. We will wager
our per diem that Atlanta ean’t show such a clear bill of
health. Let the colored voters of ucorgiu note this fact.
The above is taksn from the Savannah News.
Lot tho f 1 lc r note that fact.
Judge John T. Clarke, of Cuthbert, has beeu
nominated for the Senate from the 11th district;
and Dr. John C. Drake, oi Thomaston has boon

The eigor-nuikers of New Orleans are oo-op-
erating with the strike of their fellows in New
York. Chiuese labor will most probably bo in

ever, that this strike of the workmen, like tho
product of their labor, will end in smoke.
The Savaunali News estimates tho public
buildings in Milledgeville at half a million dol
lars. Tho State should at once sell out to the
Savannah News; she’ll never get Filch another
chance. Half a million dollars! And Harris
alludes to tho adjacent territory as “calamus-
plats 1”
There is some talk in the papers about Hon.
Farish Furman’s being scut to Congress, from
the sixth district, in return for his services in
behall of Milledgeville. Mr. Furman says it
iRn’t so, and that is quite likely; for it will take
something stronger thau his Milledgeville argu
ments to send him to Congress as long as Jim
Blount is in the way.
If Milledgeville can stand Ham’s paragraphs,
and Joe Nisbct’s poetry and II. II. J.’s inter
minable whnt-you-may-call-ems,it can look with
serene indifference on the loss of the capital,and
calmly say: “Lot ’er roU, let ’er roll,” amid the
wreck of matter and the crush of worlds.
There, now ! The Old Capital has demolish
ed Nat Hammond, just after the Macou Tele
graph knocked Ben Hill “iuto smithereens.’'
When will this destruction of our great men
cease? If thoso poor fellows are really dead,
wo suggest as an epitaph: “Died like the Phil
istines of old.”
Rbv. W. P. Harrison, pastor of the First

*ihe United States, and Georgia sustaius an
Sparable loss in bis departure.
The Senatorial Convention of the Twenty-
fourth District,met in Columbus Tuesday. The
Muscogee delegates opposed rotation; those
from Chattahoochee and Marion favored it. The
two latter delegations withdrew and nominated
E. W. Miller, of Marion. The Muscogee dele
gates nominated T. W. Grimes* of Columbus.
Those two gentlemen will make the race.
Foster Blodgett died in Atlanta,last Monday
morning. Ho was a native of Augusta and was
fifty-one years old, He was charged with grave
crimes against'his Slate, and legal proceedings
were pending against him. But these charges
are now transferred to the Supreme Court above
where an infallible Judge presides.
Milledgeville has a new ally—James Fitz
patrick, a Rulical legislator from Macon; and
the Milledgeville organs seem to think more of
him than of Ben Hill, that “peripatetic vendor
of cheap opinions.” If Fitz had came out in
favor of Atlanta,lie would have been proclaimed
by the Milledgeville organs as a “Radical ally
of Atlauta.” Now, they coo over him like suck
ing doves.
Hon. Wm. M. Reese positively refused to al
low his uamo to go before the senatorial conven
tion of the twenty-ninth district. His letter was
read, was ordered to be placed ou the minutes,
and he was then nominated by acclamation.
This was well and property done, and we hope
Judge Reese may be influenced to change his
determination. Georgia cannot spare him from
her counsels.
Some of the Northern papers made a big fuss
over the statement that John Welsh, the new
minister to England, is the owner of slaves iu
Cuba. Mr. Welsh denies the statement and the
Augusta Chronicle reminds those papers which
are so sensitive about slave owners, that “such
men as Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Mon
roe and Jackson once lived in the United States
and held muoh higher positions than the one to
which Mr. Welsh has just been appointed.”
Sacrifice half a million dollars worth of property in
Milledgeville, and incur a debt of a million or two mil
lions to btiild a new capttol in Atlanta, thus at once
needlessly wasting more money thau will bo saved by
the redactions of the new constitution in ten years.—
Savannah News.
Will the News be kind enough to specify in
what manner the State could be made to spend
one or two millions for a capitol ? The editor of
the News is thoroughly informed as to the laws
whioh govern the appropriation of the State’s
money. Now we ask him to say if he realty
believes (he State oould, by any means, be made
to pay one or two million dollars for a capitol;
and if so, will he please give the modus operandi
by which he thinks it could be done.
It is worthy of note, that all those overwhelm
ing aFgaments in favor ci Milledgeville, so
lavishly published in certain papers, are the
produots of anonymous writers. Ben Hill,Her
bert Fielder, Nat Hammond, Win. M. Reese,
Bobert Toombs, Alexander H. Stephens, and
other eminent men whom the whole State
knows, write iu favor of Atlanta and sign their
names. The Milledgoville defenders seem
ashamed oi their own offspring; but nobody
can blame them for that; the poor things are so
puny.
THAT SWINDLE,
At the request ot a friend, wo publish on the
tlrst page ivn article headed the “Kimball Opera
House Swindle," Wo ttiku pains to say that it
is published by request, because it is not ot our
selection, ami wo would not select snob an ar
ticle for the Reporter. While it contaius doubt
less souit) facts, it is, in its intention, utterly
lulso. The writer of it is unkuowu. Ho seems
afraid or ashamed to Hign his uamo to it.
Nobody denies that there was some gross
swiudliug oounuoted with tho purchase ol tho
Kimball Opera llouso. Kimball may lmvu
tampered with tho legislators; he most proba
bly made them drunk and bribed them. Wo do
uot dispute it, and wo know nobody who does.
But we do know that tho inference whioh the
article intends tho reader to make ih false. The
iutoution is to show that Atlanta aided and
abetted Kimball. Thu article does not say so,
bu'. it intends lor tho reader to think so. But
this, wo repeat, is false, and we defy tho writer
of tho articlo to coiuo out over his own signature
and sny plainly what ho insinuates, lie dares
uot do so. It is easy to umko insinuations in
anonymous letters to tho press; but another
kind of courage is needed to make charges
openly.
Instead of aiding and encouraging Kimball
and tho Radical crew, the respectable citizens
ol Atlanta discountenanced them iu every way
possible. They crowded’ tho galleries, and
showed their disapprobation by every possible
means. They faced the rascals iu tho corridors
and pas-ages and on tho street-corners,and used
every kind of moral opposition to tho schemes
of plunder which were being carried ou by Rad
icals from other parts of tho State, and which
they could not prevent. Tho Constitution de
nounced Bullock and his gang day by day,until
the bogus Governor instituted a libel suit
against it.
The Democrats of Atlanta showed their oppo
sition, their scorn ami their contempt for tho
plunderers by every means in their power; and
the spoliation of the State would doubtless have
been still greater if the authors had not boon
under the eyes of a large community of true aud
fearless sons of Georgia. Tho Democrats of
Atlanta stood up and fought while those of many
other places were lying supinely on their backs
aud allowing themselves to be run over. Wo
confess to a feeling of deep indignation at such
aspersions as are cast on them by tho nameless
writ r who arrogantly calls himself “Common
Sense.”
We repeat that Atlanta ia not responsible for
the rascality of whichJ“Common Sense” speaks.
As to whether Atlanta has fulfilled her obliga
tion to the State, we quoto from tho report of a
committee appointed by the recent Constitution
al Convention to investigate this very subject.
That committee was composed of Judge John
Collier,; of Atlanta, Pope Barrow, of Clarke,
Francis Fontaine, of Columbus, W. S. Wallace,
of Taylor, Miles W. Lewis, of Greene, and
Samuel Hawkins, of Americas. Thoso are all
honorable men, not likely to be deceived aud
incapable of being tampered with. They inves
tigated tho subject fully and the convention
adopted their report. They reported at length,
aud in conclusion said:
“That tho Stato has been greatly wronged iu
the purchase of tho capitol we do not doubt,
but that tho fault is attributable to tho city au
thorities of Atlauta we have no reason to be-
lievo.”
We ask our readers which they will believe—
tho insinuations of one anonymouslwriter or the
public report of a committee of six intelligent
and houorablo members of the convention ?
GORDON TO THE FRONT l
This cry was unnecessary a few years since.
When tho enemy came down upon our decimat
ed army and devastated country, in countless
numbers, there was no need to say “Gordon to
to the front !” Gordon was there. IIo fought as
brave men fight who know no fear and hear
no call hut duty’s. When hopo had almost died,
when tli6 remnant of Lee’s gallant army had
been almost annihilated, the order was issued,
the bugle sounded forward, aud Gordon headed
the last charge that broke the enemy’s lines.
The war ended. The South was under the
iron heel of the oppressor. The clouds of des
potism hung with the blackness of night over
our unhappy land. To whom should tho peo
ple look in this, their darkest hour, but to him
who led them iu their vain battle for indepen
dence V They called Gordon to tho front; he
led them to victory; but tho fruits of victory
were stolen from us, aud an enemy placed at
the helm of State.
But Georgia’s true sons again took control of
her, aud then they sent their gallant leader to
the highest place in the national councils. Now
the end of his term approaches; and from hill
and vale, from convention of town, county and
district comes the familiar cry: “Gordon to the
front.” If there aro men in Georgia who are
plotting to defeat Gordon,they are wasting their
efforts. The people want him again in the Sen
ate. They have recently said so with gratify
ing unanimity; and they intend to send him
there. Those who conspire against him will
have their own mortification for their reward.
Tho Gainsville Engle says: The Telegraph and Mes
senger is mistaken iu its ungenerous insinuation that At
lanta pays tho country press for publishing certain capital
matter. She not only does not pay, but her merchants
do not advertise with tlie papers that are fighting her
battles, on that account. We have received one $15 ad.
and no more, in recognition of a thousand dollars’ worth
of printers ink. We are for Atlanta, nevertheless.
True, O king; true, every word. If the La-
Grango Reporter’s advocacy of Atlauta were to
be limited by Atlanta’s appreciation of tho Re
porter, then indeed would our zeal bo lukewarm.
We advocate Atlanta as the capital, not because
Atlanta patronizes us—for she does not, with
very slight exceptions; but from the higher mo
tive of the public welfare. If we were to treat
Atlanta as her business men treat ns, we should
pass the capital question by, with the remark:
“We can’t afford to do anything for you."
A Great Evil.—The Christian Index thus
characterizes the fashion, for it lb the fashion,
of displaying pictures of women, more of less
nude, as advertisements. The Index Rays: “The
beautiful form of woman is prostituted to do
the work of advertising a brand of cigars or
soap, or yeast powders, a patent medicine, and
a thousand other artic’os of merchandise. The
coming of minstrel troupes, and other troupes,
is published by half, aud more thau half, nude
forms in the shop windows of our cities. At
the street corners, and iu every public plaoe,
the same displays meet the eye, until a man is
made to blush for his race aud age."
The Atlanta Constitution says: "Colonel J. It. Sncod is
busily engaged upon his forthcoming book. ‘The Political
History of Georgia.’ It will be an invaluable compilation
from official records, and General Toombs has remarked
that he would, any day in the last forty years, have given
fifty dollars for such a book.”
We look with interest for the publication of
of the book. Col. Sneed has been intimately
acquainted with the politic ; of Georgia, having
been most of his life connected with the press,
aud many years with the Savaunali Republican,
a leading paper. We knpw of no ono moro
competent for the work than he.
Matrimony is a nut

WASHINGTON L E TT 1C It.
Washington, D. O., Nov. 10, 1877.
THE ARMY.
Tho llouso discussed the army appropriation
bill yesterday with considerable earnoHtueSs.but
with great good humor. Opinions varied be-
twocn filly and fittoen thousand as tho proper
number of troops. One gentleman went ho tar
as to say wo should have troops enough to act as
a national police force. This discussion will not
directly affect the number of tioops, as it is
merely on an appropriation lor a year now near
ly half gone, but it goes to show that tho House
is property seusiblo of tho dangers of a large
standing army. Whenov* r general legislation in
had on tho subject—probably in December -wo
may expect to have an army of not more than
twenty thousand men authorized.
BILVJCR.
Tho silver bill which passed tho House on
Monday, excites great interest in tho Senate.
The probabilities now are that it will paws that
body. Ou going to Mr. Hayes it will, according
to Senator Stanley Mudhows, bo approved, and
according to Senator Morrill bu vetoed. Those
two Senators have interviewed Mr. Hayes on the
subject, aud think they know what he will do.
RESUMPTION.
Tho other exciting subject in the llouso is
that ot repealing so much of the resumption net
as fixes a date for resumption. This is still
under discussion, and no definite idea can bo
formed of the time when it will finally voted on
or ot tlie late ot the bill. It may be safely said,
however, that Hayes will veto any bill which
leaves the date of resumption uncertain.
MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING.
I knew there would be trouble when General
Grant, in an interview with a newspaperman in
Scotland, stated that Charles Sumner, besides
not attending to bis actual duties as chairman of
the Foreigu Affairs Committee in the Senate,
was also an untruthful umu. Suc h a charge
could hardly pass without causing discussion
among men of tho highest possible standing.
Wendell Phillips came to the rescue of Mr. Sum
ner, aud Hamilton Fish replied to Mr. Phillips
in a manner which ought to have driven Mr.
Phillips out ot the field. Mr. Phillips indis
creetly returns, however,and last night repeated
in Boston some ol his former statements. As
Mr. Fish has both the papers and tho probability
on his side,we may cotisidor the controversy, so
far as Mr. Phillips is concerned, as closed. But
he had only touched questions remotely con
nected with the main charge—that of untruth-
luluess on a particular occasion. There are only
two men who can definitely decide that point—
George William Curtis aud John W. Foruey.
The first was au (flicious aud self-appointed
ambassador Irotn Sumner to Grant, aud the
other was present at the interview between
Grautaud Sumner when tho conversation occurr
ed which gave rise to Grant’s charges. A full
statement trom both these gentlemen would be
received with interest by all,aud would by draw
ing out collateral lacts from others, explain
many things now understood iu tho history ol
Grant’s two administrations.
THE RECENT ELECTIONS.
The fact that the Repulicau party was not an
nihilated ou the Gtb, but was leic with possibili
ties of continued existence iu somo of its parts,
has restored tho wavering courage of many who,
elevated to position when tho party was power -
lui, had oi late been looking lor opportunities to
organize a now party. A little reflection will
dispel a hopefulness which lias no better iouuila-
tiou than this. Oi tho thirty-eight States, tho
Democracy has control oi twenty-four, with a
certainty of gainiug others and a certainty of
losing none now iu its possession. Those puli- !
tieiaus to whom party is nothing so that they
can remain iu opposition (o Democratic doc
trines, may commence tho reconstruction oi the
Republican party at once. They cannot hopo
lor natioual success while steadily losing ground
iu nearly every direction and gaming none iu
any. It is time that now leaders aud a party
with a new name should commence the nevtr
ending fight against the party of the people.
The R publican par - y has already maintained
its organization longer than any of it predeces
sors, and longer thau the people were willing it
should. Arlington.

The Federal soldiers encamped near Citadel-
Green, Charleston, umdo a raid upou Cole’H cir
cus on Wednesday because of tho refusal of tho
proprietor to admit them to the show free. Tho
police interfered, and there was a prospect of a
lively row with tho “boys iu blue," but there
was more talk than fight. An enthusiastic col
ored spectator,during tho most critical moment,
loudly exclaimed : “Ole Hampton’s boss ol this

Mis. Merrill, a New York widow, who died a
few weeks ago,left the larger part of $4110,000 to
