Another Unsettled Item.
When Mr. Kimball sold the Opera
to the Legislature, there was I
mortgage lien of $60,000 upon it, crea
ted by Mr. K. That mortgage is still
unsatisfied—or was a short timo ago, and
we suppose is yet
Did the Governor pay any lawyer i
fee to examine the title to this property
before it was aooepted and paid for by
him t If so who was it, and what fee
was paid ? Did Bullock know of the ex
istence of such mortgage?
7a Make a KIm.
It was currently reported in the city
yesterday, that a dispatch bad beenjreceiv-
ed from Mr. Kimball, stating that Clews
k Company had effected a salo of his
lunds, and that he would bo back in a
few days with arnplo funds. Wo oould
not trace this rumor to any reliable
source. ^
Tht Uooiglit Contract lag Company.
We alluded yesterday to the Governor
trying to secure contractors on the Bruns
wick and Albany Bailroad in preference
to the State, and mentioned that Mr.
Kimball himself was a member of the
above named company, which had heavy
contracts on the road.
,Wehave examined the proper records,
and find Ant the company is composod
of H. L Kimball, E. N. Kimball, and
Goo. Cook.
Too Mock In Advance.
If the Brunswick and Albany Bailroad
was fully completed, the bonds to bo in
dorsed by the State, ($3,300,000), and
State bonds delivered to the company,
($1,880,000),would amount to a total State
liability of over rrvs millions—all for
one Bailroad!
This road is completed only to Albany
—and is said to l>e vory poorly constnict-
wd sa far m it haa gone—yet tho wholo
five millions and over have been fully ex
ecuted aud delivered to the Governor
near six months ago, by his ordor ! This
would have been proper, if the road hail
been fully completed according to law,
but it has not, and no one can tell when
it will bo.
That Proclamation Illegal*
Tho Governor’s proclamation, seizing
the Brunswick and Albany Bailroad, is
'not only one of the clumsiest, most awk
ward aud Uly gotten np Stato papers that
ever was published in Georgia, but it is
positively illegal—being issued in viola-,
tion of law.
It purports to havo been attested, and
the Great Seal of tho Stato attached by
Judge dotting, tho Secretary of State;
yet the Judge nover knew anything of it
till he aaw it published iu tho Governor's
Organ. He seems to act as thongh ho
had authority to use thoaiguaturcs of the
State House officers for any purpose ho
pleases, without consulting them.
Some of tho Governor’s friends think
ho is orazy—gone stark mod—and ought
to bo in the Lunatic Asylum. Other poo-
pie take another view of tho aubjoot.
Am I.ttmM Pally tv kv a Judgt.
The Governor, in his unlawful aud
sham proclamation, lias appointed prom
inent lawyers of Georgia to toko proof
that all bonds purporting to havo been
iu domed or issued by tho State, to the
Brunswick and Albuuy Bailroad, have
baea legitimately applied to tho construc
tion of th* road, .before the State will
recognize their validity; aud he aays he
has issued the proclamation to tho end
that all laborers and contractors, as well
aa the State, may bo duly paid for their
work.
Mow, wc are informod, and believe,
that one of the heaviest contractors on
the road is M. J. Atkins A Co.—com
posed of Arthur Hood, W. M. Tumliu,
••A M. J. Atkins, yet tho Governor hss
appointed Colonel Hood aa one of the
attorneys, to moke tho investigations
j) jg stated that the Hood is indebted

Mow York to maka the investigations re
quired by the Governor, said he feared

waa owing him—which is one third of

Chamber or Cimmin,
Last night a meeting of the Chamber
of Commerce was held at their hall,
President B. E. Crane in the Chair.
The Chair annonnoed tho various com
mittees, among which was one composed
of a representative of each industry, for
tho purpose of preparing correct market
report* for tlie prees. By this means the
press reports will be reliable.
Tho question of freights elicited some
discussion. As a curious fact, it was
stated that goods could bo shipped from
Mew York, via Charleston, through to
Nash riUc and then back to Atlanta tor 26
per cent, less than they would be shipped
direct to Atlanta. A committeo was ap
pointed to endeavor to procure a materi
al redaction in rates; failing in which,
they are empowered to muko favorable
arrangements with some particular route,
and pledge to it the entire freight of tho
city.
It was arranged that mootings should
be held every sooond Friday night, com
mencing on the 3d November.
Tho canal subject waa introduced by
J. Norcross, and, meeting with considera
ble favor, a committeo was appointed to
wait on Maj. McCalla, of the V. B. En
gineer Corps, now in tho city, and Maj.
McFarland, U. S. Chiof Engineer, who
will bo in tho city on Monday, and pre
sent to them tho earnest desire of the
pooplo of Atlanta, that tho survey either
run through the city, or as near it as
practicable.
The use of the Hall Was tendered to
tho Press Convention, which meets here
Wednesday next, and load calls were
made on Col Whidby fora speech. The
Colonel had road Grant’s Portland ora
tion, and declined.
The meeting then adjourned.

Accident to the Abel Loom.
The agents of tho Abel Loom iu this
city, iu rosponso to an invitation by tele
graph from Colonel D. W. Lowis, tho Sec
rotary of the Stato Agricultural Society,
sent the loom down to Macon on Saturday
last to bo exhibited at tho Fair. Some
of tho hands in removing it from the cars
at Macon, injured tho needles by which
it operates, and it isuow at tho Fair, but
the agonts are unable to work it, or were
on Tnesday last, aud were npprehensivo
they would not bo able to get it iu order
during tho Fair, nor uutil new needles
oould be obtained from the manufactory.
Tho actual injury to tho machinery is
slight, bnt it cannot repaired except
from tho manufactory, of which there is
only one in the United States. The
daniago in not being able to exhibit its
'orkingat the fairs iu Macon and Augusta
is very serious to the agents.
l.il,i 1 Against ihtSl.n-
Bome time since sorno articles were
published iu thu Dec licilung, a German
newspaper of this city, discouraging
Germans f rum immigrating to the South,
and especially Atlanta, representing that
they woro abused and insulted without
cause.
Forthwith, the German citizens of
this place turned out cn masse, held an
indignatiou meeting, aud denounced
thia publication, pronouncing it false.
In this meeting Mr. Theodore Sohuman
of this city, took an activo part. Ho,
betides, took occasion to condemn the
articles privately.
Mr. Otto Palmer, editor of l)er Zeilmig,
in a spirit of vindication, spoke of Mr.
Sohmnan os undeserving tho confidence
of tho community.
Yesterday, in bohalf of the State, and
on affidavit of Mr. Schnman, Mr. Palmer
was anosted on chargo of libel against
tho State, and carried before Judge Butt.
He waived examination, and gave bond
in the aom of $1.00$ h*r his appearance
at Court.

A. Fact* Plainly Stated.—In an
swer to Mr. B. T. Smillio’s card, in Thx
Sun, of the 23d mat, it it only necessa
ry to call attention to two or three of his
assertions to prove that the protest of the
several Sewing Machine Agents was well
grounded:
1st. Ho says that two of the committee
examined tho Machine iu “private," the
very thing wo complained of, and they
declared their competency to decide with
out examination at the Fair.
2d. Tho people will know how much
confidence to place in Mr. Smillie’s state
ment, whon it is known, that, out of the
throe hoar's examination, he speaks
of, two hours were occupied by going to
dinner. Three of the Machiucs entered
did not have an opportunity to sew a
single stitch in the presence of the com
mittee.
We might quote some of Mr. Smillie's
own words, iu strong contrast with bis
published statement, hut, believing tlist
tho shove will be sufficient to show how
poor a claim he bad for a premium, wc
fori war further comment, unless ho wishes
a more extended controversy.

Meeting of Democratic C.mild.tea Last
Night,
Pursuant to a call made, tho several
candidate's for Demoeratio nomination
assembled at tho Cily Hall last CToning.
Mr. A. W. Mitchell was called to the
Chair, and Mr. Burgess Smith requested
to set us Secretary.
The Chairman stated that he under
stood the object of the meeting was to
determine open certain regulations for
conducting the nominations to-day.
Several motions were made looking to
this, when the right of the candidates to
interfere with the instructions of the
Central Executive Committee was dis
puffed. It soon became ovideut, without
taking the sense of the body, that it was
the prevailing feeling among all to leave
the nomination to the discretion of the
managers, who hud bceu instructed to
receive votes from none others than
avowed Democrats.
It was suggested by Mr. James that
no candidate should bring to the polls
for nomination a negro voter. This sug
gestion seemed to bo unanimously cn
domed.
Addresses and timely suggestions were
luodo by CoL Glenn, Mr. James, CoL
Halsey, Col. Spenecr and others, which
received tho heartiest applause, and the

who is a true and tried member of the
party ? Of comae, we must look to the
past to judge. Then, have we a man
that is every way oompotent that no oue
doubts his fealty to our party ? If so,
certainly he should he our choioe. We
need a leading representative man of the
party for our Mayor, as this is tho capi
tal of the State and much is expected of
us as a Democratic city. If wo want a
firm Democrat, one who has held the
Radicals at hay on all occasions, and who
has ever fought, under the folds of the
