The majority, oomposed of Messrs. John Collier, Fraanls Fon taine, M. 8.

It seems from their statement that in 1868 the Legislature aooepted a proposi tion of Atlanta to furnish free of cost to the State, for and daring the term of ten years, a Capitol. At sotne Um* in the year 1868, tha olty leased for a Capitol a portion of what was known as the Opera House, which Was then in process of eroeUon, from H. L Kimball, for the space of five years, at the price of six thousand dollars per annum. On Decem ber 4 th, 1868, Atlanta Issued to H. I. Kimball sixty bonds of $500 each, which were to become due at the rate of 86,000 per annum. These notes were turned over to Kimball, the Oper* House was completed, the State took poeaeeeion, and has retained it since. In the year 1870 the State agreed to purchase tbe building that lad been thus leased by the olty of Atlants, and to pay for the same the sum of $380,000; tbe oity of At] git (o' agreeing, in the tneejilUM^to f^'* sum In ibe aggreget#-et' $180,000 for and on latter bad oarefully preserved , n j waa atom! to send ^fiBrUrtETltentharn v^auteBarmr^Rtehmcnd *h.

Tn Southern gold mines are rising again to prominence, the produot of North Carolina for the fiscal year 1876-6 amounting to $10,886,000; that of Geor gia to $7,870,000, end that of Booth Caro lina to $1,881,000-a total of $19,096,- 000. Tbe produot of the year just dosed la supposed to be muoh greater. Eleven stamping mills are now running near Dahlonega, G*., and Boston oapital is tbe dominant interest. Labor is seventy-five cents a day, and wood on* dollar a cord. I* a late London letter, M. D. Conway Mps if Dr. Fairfax, of Virginia, eleventh baron of an aoolent house, were to go to England “and take tbe seat In tbe House of Lords, which is his due, I believe the fuse made over him would become a chap ter in the history of England. It is un derstood that he dedines to oome on re publican grounds, in ewhlch case Presi dent Hayes should look out for him when nest in want of a foreign minister; bnt nil American* are not so stern in their political virtue.” Tn* Washington National Republican thinks that the thing for the pdioy hold ers in the solvent life insurances of the oountry to do is to insist that those com panies shall as speedily as possible invest Um bulk of their aetata in United Btates bends, to be deposited with the State Treasurer* of tbe Slate* in whloh the oom- penis* are loeated, to be by them held in trust for the benefit of polioy holdere.

II tbe trouble now upon great railway cor porations, and whloh threatens all diver sified channels of skill and labor, is not sufficient to oonviuoe Mr. Hayes that Sherman'a polioy la a ruinous one, noth' log certainly can. The impression is that the only good thing which tbe strike be* brought ebont is tbe demand of tbe peo ple for tbe repeal of the resumption act in Ootober. It is regarded as a wise les son, bnt bongbt with end and bloody ex perience. Tbs Cxab baa informed the Governor General of Moaoow that- tha entire Une aten lorn in mooring the Dannbe near 8ianitaa waa 160 killed and 700 wounds \ By the fid of July nearly tha whole of the Dane be had go* into Bulgaria. Nina oorpa d'anaee, or 270,000 Roast an com batants, had bean seat to tha Danubiaa Prinotpalitias. *n route. Tha Bosnian trouble in Bulge ria in the first instance waa a deMoieooy of food-supplies. The Osar, who' has contracted for the immediate oonstruo- lion of railroads in tbe sest of war, has established municipal governments in ail the villages paaaed through by tha Bo ston* on (hair Una of march. At a gene- ml role, tha Bulgarian*, ainoe the arrival of tha Banian army, have abandoned the fas and now wear a white band with a etoaa round their hands to distinguish thsmsolvs* from Um Turks, nisb t Ospllol, free of cost, to th« State for the term of ten years. The oity of Atlanta did, eooordlngly, on the 23d day of August, 1870, make and deliver to tbe State a certificate that Atlanta was in debted to tbs State $130,000 of 7 per oent. bond* of tbs oity. Tba certificate was deposited by H. I. Kimball with tbe Governor (Bnllook) to indemnify the Btate against s certain mortgage for $60,- 000 that was outstanding against said property, tbns purchased. In 'August 1870, H. I. Kimball gave tbs oity a re ceipt for $80,000 in bonds ooutraoted for the part paymsnt for the Capitol building. In Ootober of 1870 E. V. Kimball (brother of H. L) presented tbe certificate man- Honed to tha anthorlties of Atlanta, and they gave him $76,000 of tbe bond* of tbe city therefor. Afterwards a question of interest waa settled with Kimball by tbe oity, and in Deoember, 1870, tbe bri- snos of tbe $100,000 of oity bonds were delivered Kimball. How the certificate passed from the bends of the executive to Kimball tbe committee does not know. A legal - investigation is now pending. The majority is satisfied Atlanta bas fulfilled every agree ment. At the time of tbo State's pur chase there waa a mortgage on the build ing of $60,000, whloh bas since been foreclosed. On tbe 10th of July, 1876, the oity of Atlanta paid off and had trans ferred* to them the judgment and fl fa, that had been obtained on tbs foreclosure of arid mortgage for wbioh they paid the anm of $79,283.80. This fi fa. and Judg ment ia still beld by the oity of Atlanta with an agreement entered into between Governor James M. Smith and the olty of Atlanta. Tbe said fl fa. should not be enforced against said ptopetiy so long a* the oapitol shall remain in UM oity of At lanta. The minority, oomposed of Messrs. M. W. Lewis, S. Hall, B. L. Stephens and F. 0. Forman, recommend that tbe question of tbe looation of tbe oapital b* left out of tbe constitution, and that the first goner tl eleotion hereafter held for members of the General Assembly every voter may endorse on his ballot “Atlanta" or “Mil- ledgeville," and tha one of these pltoea reoeiving tbs lsrgest number of votes shell be the oapital of the State nntll changed by the same authority, and in the lame way that may be provided for the alteration of the constltntton that may be adopted by tbe Convention— whether eeld constitution be ratified or rajeoted. It will be noted the committee ia divid ed five to four. We mnst admit a prefer ence for the minority report,and unless wa era mistaken it expresses the will of tbe people. No aotion hea been taken by tbe Convention. LOOMING LAWI.RMNHM IN THK FACE. The etrike ie becoming wider and ■tronger. It baa reached beyond the Mississippi. On Tom Soott'a Texaa-Paci- fto Railroad the men have etrnok. The whole North and West ia experiencing Intense exoitement, and a reign of terror exists and woeful oonseqnencea arc fearad. Mobs arc rioting in Louisville, Chicago end St. Lonie, -Oitiaena are everywhere arming themselves for protection. The endeavor of the lawieea agitators ia to have oommnniam and blood rale over the land, while tba robber plunders at will and the inoendiary plies the toioh. Every oriminal element in the oonntry has been roused and the ■trike baa developed into a aoeno of an areby. It ia reported from Washington that oommuniat agents have departed southward. These active agents of orime end dieurder should be weloomed to hos pitable graves. Business ell over the North and West ia paralysed. Even the negroes In St. Lottie, the wards and pets of the nation, are uniting with tbs rest to spread terror and desolation over that oity. The poor are suffering worse then all. The only partis* benefltted are the outlaws of so ciety. No matter whet started the move ment, it mrvt be pnt down by tbe strong arm of power. The sooner It Is done, the easier will tbe oonntry breath*. Active, prompt and decisive measures an de mended to suppress the rale of the mob. They most feel the strong arm of tha law exerted with all its force. As Governor Robinson of New York rightly says in his proolameUoo: “tba law raoognlsa* and protects Um right of all man to refuse to work, except upon terms satisfactory to themselves; bnt it 1 doss not permit I ham to prevent other from working who desire to do so. Unites the Btate is to ha given np to anarchy and its courts and laws are to be defied with impunity its wbol* power mnst b* exerted to suppress vio lence, maintain order and protect i’e eitir.en* in their right to work, and tM business of the county from lawless !n- terraptioa." adbiamofle, This famous oity ia again attracting tba attention of the world because oscs mars threatened by the Russians, both by di rect attack end by breaking communica tion with Constantinople. It is a oity of European Turkey, oapital of tha vilayet of Edirnab, situated on tha river Mariisa (tha anrient Bebrna), in aneisnt Thrace, about 180 miles northwest of Constant!- oopls, with whloh it is connected by rail. Tbe population Is agimated variously from 100,080 to 160,000, at least one- third of whom are Greeks and the rest Turk*, Arminiane, Franks and Jaws. T1m scenery is vary beautiful. Tba wealthy live in magnifiaent residences snrronnded by beautiful gardens, bnt tha interior of tbs rity, like moat Turkish towns, ie straggling, dirty and desolate. It has 40 mosques, among wbioh ia the famous one of Selim II, bnilt of material fur nished by the rains of Famagusta in Cy-- prees.

Taken by th* Saltan Mnrad in 1861, it remained the Turkish oapital nntil the taking of Constantinople in 1468. Oberis* XII,, of Sweden; spent some time in a neighboring oastte in 1718. In 1829 Adrianopl* waa captured by the Turkish General Diebitaeh, and a treaty of peaoe was signed there in 1820 between Russia end Turkey, by virtue of which tbe Dsnnbian principalities were restored to the Porte. Then Russia secured vast privileges end fnll indemnity for war ex pense*. Will she be willing to stop there on tbe present marob, or press on to Con stantinople ? Capital and Capitol.—These words are oonfonnded very freqnenUy and were so yesterday in oor oolnmns. It was done ossnrily, we hr<ow, end the “mixing’ rests on th* writer, sruu did not re.vd tbe proof. 0-pital ia a plaoe; Capitol a building. Atlsnta ie the Capital of Geor gia ; tha structure in which the Legisla ture meets is the Oapitol. Congress meets In tbe Oapitol at Washington,which ia the Capital of the United States. Not power enough to preserve the peaoe end protect life and property! And we need to have so many soldiers to carry a Southern Btate for a Republican candi date. •C0MIA00NYI WISSUSIT - twelfth bat. ■cantor Wmllace on lbs atrlhe-Hls Monody.

He favors an early repeal of the resumption acts as the moat direct mode of giving relief end reviving bosi- neea. Business men are nnable to employ labor. . Bew materials and manufactured products not bring in demand, little trans portation ia needed. No new enterprises are undertaken, and business long es tablished languishes.
