The CsvnoL.—According to announce
ment the doors of Kimball’s magnificent
Opera House were thrown open to the cit
izens of Atlanta on last evening, and such
an assemblage as filled the corridors and
halls was never before seen in this city.—
Thousands availed themselves of the op
portunity presented of inspecting one 01
the most splendid Capitols in the United
States. The beauty of sister cities vied
with the beauty of Atlanta in lending ad
ditional lustre to the resplendent scene.'
We passed into tlie Representative Hall,
the centre of attraction—and well it niiglii
be. It was brilliantly lighted up by a
mammoth Reflector, which flashed upon
the frescoed walls, from which beam
ed the pictured face3 of some of Georgia’s
most distinguished sons. This room,
seventy-five feet square, and tliirty-eighl
feet from floor to ceiling, with galleries
upon three sides, was packed with an
admiring and animated throng, who
gazed alternately on the triumphs o(
skill and art, and on the enchanting vision
of female loveliness, moving in a glorious
panorama of soul-thrilling smiles and
sparkling eyes. Indeed, there were some
who, in the contemplation of that vision
were almost oblivious to all things else;
an d—we might as well confess it—ye local
was “ one of ’em.”
Such an illumination! From the win
dows of the vast structure streamed the
lights from eyes—did yon ever? We are
enchanted, and no mistake. If the editor
himself had not been discovered in the
same condition, (dont tell his wife, reader.)
we are sure he would never stop us at the
door again with the remark that his local
was absent.
No one will expect a detailed account-
all saw for themselves. Indeed, as a gen
tleman remarked, “just say it’s abig thing,
and quit; you can’t do it justice.” The
view of Atlanta by gas-light, as seen from
the turret, could alone inspire a lengthy
article; and the Representative Ilall—well
we will only soy that tame would be that
spirit which in such a place and with sucl
surroundings could not give birth to
“ thoughts that breathe and words that
bum.'
The pleasure of the occasion was greatly
enhanced by most excellent music from
the Post Band, r^l-.o elicited the rapid
ious plaudits of the assemblage, (and dis
played their good taste, too.) by conclud
ing with “Dixie.” At 10 o’clock precisely
the throng dispersed. It is scarcely credi
ble that but a few months since the Opera
House was only a mass of brick and mor
tar. The Messrs. Kimball have displayed
a tremendous energy in the matter; and
certain it is, that this colossal edifice is
ready for tlie Legislature—is very nearly
completed, and is an ornament and archi
tectural achievement of which not only
Atlanta, but the State may justly be proud.

we may safely assume that 3.000 miles have

Gentlemen of the House of Ilepresentnlitcs:
It is with no ordinary degree of pleasure
that we greet each oilier here to day. Vei
it is painful to know that one ot our num
ber is absent. Since our adjournment .death
lias entered here and suddenly removed

brother and co-laborer, the lion. >*,. SI.
Butt, of Marion county. So cnergunc and
eltlclent in his actions, so congenial and
confiding in his nature, that - uone knew
him tint to love him, none named him bui
to praise.” Peace to his aslics.
My duty, gentlemen, as your presiding
jfli. er. is simply to preserve order and to
execute, to the best ol my Ability, the
Rules and practice controlling Legislative
bodies. I hope, however, you will pardon
me if I again udmon’sh you to lie
mindful of tlie interest of all classes
and conditions of our people. If we ex-
peet to live in peace, wc must magnily
tlie law and make it effective.
Otherwise anarchy, confusion and blood
shed must follow. Let us be united as one
people in the maintenance of law and or
der. for by this alone can we ever expect
permanent peace.
Since we. last met. tlie nation by an
overwhelming majority,lias vindicated the
reconstruction acts of Congress; let u-
then this day, as an integral part ol this
mighty republic, bury our prejudices and
oiir passions and execute the laws of Con-
cress in spirit and in truth. As I said o
vou on a former ocuasion. “This !s our
'overmnent,” let us perpetuate it—take it. south Carolina.

while they were agreeable to each other,
and as there were tew bonds there was little
temptation to bre ik them. Perhaps such
unions might be repeated to advantage be
tween persons who feel uncertain of a har
monious future.
Lucy Stone and her husband—say those
who ought to know—have never repented.
They have lived very happily together for
thirteen years, and are likely to do so to
the last. They have but one child, a
daughter, and have since tlieir marriage
resided most of the time at YVest Bloom
field, New Jersey, in the strictest retire
ment.
Lucy Stone—the name of Mrs. Black-
well always offends her — is very' far from
handsome. She is small in stature, has
gray eyes, dark-brown hair, a well-shaped
mouth and handsome teeth. Hercomplex-
ion is so florid as to indicate rusticity, and
her features are not at all regular, or ex
pressive of high breeding. Hers is a strong
face, and when lighted up, loses much ol
its homeliness ami at rHres you nsllltellee-
tual. Her charm is in her voice. Turn
sway from her and you can well imagine
she is lovely. Look at her critically, and
you almost forget the sweet tones that have
so much to do with her power of persua
sion. She is extremely kind-hearted and
benevolent, and never neglects any op
portunity to do good, die has been much
misrepresented, ridiculed and abused, but
110 one who knows her, will say she is not
a true woman, whose alms and purposes
have always been in the direction ol justice,
humanity and right.

We understand that the injunction
granted by Judge Cole, of the Maeon Cir

is not regarded as affecting the transfer in
any manner. The contract was consum

and the transfer made, all papers necessary

An injunction might have stopped the
transfer while it was In progress- but a

Hobson’s Choice”—The Radical
Programme Under Gen. Grant.
Don Platt writes as follows to the Cin
cinnati Commercial:
A few days before the late adjournment
I sat by a prominent member ol Congress,
ami leader of our organization, discussing
tlie probabilities of Grant’s administration.
-Tlie fact is we actually know nothing
of General Grant-” said the M. C.: “he was
nominated because of his availability as a
candidate, and a belief, gathered up from
bis record, that be was reliable, ft was
Hobson’s choice with us; we were forced to
accept him or defeat.”
“Under these circumstances would it not
he well to move slowly and feel our way a
little?’’ I asked.
Certainly, if it were possible; hut I do
not see how we can put the brakes on—a
President is a President—and I have been
here long enough to know that the first
two years we give to registering Ids edicts,
and the next two to securing our own re-
clections. This is the history of partisan
legislation.”
-But the Tcnure-of-office Act makes a
great diflcrence in the relations existing
between Congress and the Executive.”
"Certainly; and the Civil Service bill will
make yet more of a change. But you will
see that that thu one will not be passed,
and tbe other will be repealed at once.”
“Do you really think so?”
“Yes. I do. I find a large number of
men, who give me as a .reason that they
want the responsibility of selecting honest
and efficient agents thrown upon the Pres
ident; it is not well, therefore, to have his
hands tied. The reasons really animating
them arc joined in a desire to flatter Gen.
Grant, and in the other and more powerful
motive to be found in the fact that if the
Senate has to be consulted in the election
and dismissal of officers, each member will
have’less freedom, in the bestowal of pat-

disgraced us of old?”
“YVell. yes. YVe were hungry office-
seekers before we came to Congress, and
we hold our places through the consent ol
other hungry office-seekers, who look to us
for support. If wc cannot satisfy them
they will turn on us.”
-So. there is uo hope of getting out of
this demoralized condition of the service,
and returning to the constitutional purity
of the fathers ?”
‘■The constitutional purity of the fathers,
as you call it, was well enough. But we
have learned since then that a Government
is not made up of paper Constitutions, and
cannot rise above the virtue a*d intelli
gence of the people really making it, no
more than a fountain can rise t.bove its
head. We representatives are not the rep
resentatives of the learning, nor tbe mor
ality of the land. YVe are Blmply the rep
resentatives of the people, and come to
our places through their accredited
agents—the politicians of the caucus.

City passenger railroads are not included
in the above summary’. These are now in
general use in all considerable cities, and
in numerous instances in places where
population is less dense. Their economical
bearings are fully* recognized, and their
popularity is increasing. Boston, New
York, Brooklyn and Philadelphia count
their street railroad tracks by hundreds of
miles. Probably the total is not less than
2,000 to 2,500 miles.
Nor have we included in onr statement
anv account of the second tracks with
wliich most of tlie leading lines are sup
plied, nor the sidings and turn-outs on all
the lines. These may be estimated at
twenty-five or thirty pet cent, of the length
of the road, and are being added to yearly.
Adding these supplementary tracks to the
tabulated mileage, we find the total length
of equivalent single track in use is from
52,500 to 55000 miles, and if we add to this
the equivalent for the city passenger tracks
to nearly 60,000 miles. It is now forty
years since wc began to build railroads, and
in that time we have built a greater length
than is to be found in the whole of Europe.
Progress leads but to new demands and
new enterprises.
Critical Position of the Radical
Party.—The YVasliington correspondent
of the Baltimore Gazette, writing under
date of 7th lust- says:
The position of tbe dominant party is
becoming every day more and more criti
cal, as the leaders frankly admit in private
conversations, and to-day. a prominent
Radical member of the House declared liis
apprehension that the announcement of
General Grant's Cabinet would be the sig
nal for a general breaking up of the Radi
cal organization. This gentleman inter
prets very unfavorably the remarkable
reticence of the President elect, and it is
even suspected by him and other shining
lights of the party that General Grant will
b<-norc party demands in the selection ol
his constitutional advisers.
But the grave apprehension felt by the
Radicals that their future is not to be
through smooth paths, do not arise solely
from the misgivings now so common in
the ranks of the Radical party. They
see fearful breakers ahead on finan
cial questions, but “Reconstruction
rears its horrid front and . frightens
their bravest men. The members of the
Senate Judiciary Committee admit this,
and say they know not which way to turn.

Tub Fate of Georgia in Congress .—
YVasliington correspondent of the Atheii!
Southern YValcbman, no doubt Colon
Christy, editor of that paper, and ippn
sentativc in Congress elect from that DU;
.YVornt Fenf?s. .1 ucl Stock jPens._
o The Constitutionalist, of tlie 7th, lias a
j very sensible article on these subjects,
which deserves general consideration. With
reference to the advantages of the system
of penning stock, tlie case is very forcibly
stated, showing that the practice would not
only amply remunerate for all trouble and
expense, but be productive of highly
profitable agricultural results. We quote
as follows:
Hogs, when properly attended in pens or
lots, have exceeded 560 pounds in weight
at a year old; the white Chester breed,SOU
pounds at fourteen or sixteen months, and
as much as 1.280 pounds at twenty-one
months old, increasing for short periods as
rapidly as three or four pounds per day;
while each one, when amply supplied with
peat or pond mud, straw and rotten wood
or charcoal, has manufactured in the year,
three cords, or over three hundred bushels
of excellent manure. Thus tlie manure
alone would pay for the feeding, and the
increase of flesh over the ordinary accu
mulation from pur scant range—150 pounds
at tlie utmost—would be net gain. _ And
the liogs would be kept from inischiet to
ourselves or our neighbors, would multiply
more rapidly, occupy less time in attending
to them and be less liable to be stolen or
destroyed by wild or tame animals.
Dr. Dana states in liis Manual, that tlie
liquid manure produced by one cow an
nually. is equal to lertiiizing (lj^) one and
a quarter acres of land. Tlie solid manure
is nearly of the same strength. Thus a
single cow can be made to enrich over two
acres of ground per annum. The quantity
in bulk is over a bushel a daj’, according to
Bousingaull, or nearly four cords per an
num. Now, peat or pond mud is richer in
salts than cow manure, and to be doubly
superior in all respects requires only some
two and a half pounds per cord of amonia.
Therefore, throw into the stall or pen at
inteivals, to be likewise removed and pro
tected from snnshine and too much rain,
seven or eight cords of yeat or mud (or
compost in any manner,) and there would
be on annual return of eleven or more
cords, or over eleven hundred bushels of
capita) manure—enough to fertilize half a
dozen acres, which, under judicious culti
vation, would support a moderate sized
family. From penning all tbe cows there
would accrue an abundant supply of milk
and butter, repaying all the trouble in
curred. Other animals would yield a re
turn of manure proportionate to the above.
Sheep have been purchased in the North
west recently at over $3 a head, for the ex-
Postal Telegraph system— Special
Report of the Postmaster General to Con
gress.—A special report from the Postmas
ter General to Congress on the important
subject of- a general system of postal tele
graphy will be found in another part ol
the paper. YVe understand it will lie sub
mitted to Congress to-day. Mr. Randall
takes a broad and comprehensive view
of the subject. After reviewing the tele
graph system under Government control,
in connection with tlie post office, in Bel
gium and Switzerland, and the measures
which are now before the British Parlia
ment for tbe establishment of a similar
system in England, lie refers to the effort^
made here for a like object. He attributes
tlie failure of these efforts heretofore to
the interested advice and action o; the tele
graph companies and managers, lie feels
confident that tlie telegraph in connection
with the post office and under the control
of Government cun be made much more
serviceable and cheaper to the public.
He therefore rccoinends the pas
sage of an act by Congress in
corporating a company which shall con
struct telegraph lines along all the postal
routes of tne United States, and which shall
contract with the. Postmaster General to
deliver messages at a low and fixed rate.
Tlie rate recommended at present is to
average about one cent a word for all dis
tances not exceeding five hundred miles,
and five cents lor every five words beyond
tliat distance. These rates are to be deter
mined in the actof Congress; but the Post
master General is to have tlie power of re
ducing them whenever the profits exceed
ten per cent, of the company's capita’,
which is to be limited to two hundred dol
lars a mile. This provision is intended to
an inflation of the capital. Mr. Randall is
justly very severe on the present manage
ment of the telegraph, and calls it an inju
rious monopoly. He opposes theestablish-
ment of any experimental lines by tlie
Govcrmeot, and calls upon Congress to es
tablish a general system at once. YVhetlier
U'is'better.tliat this important 'reform he
carried out through a contract with a com
pany, us recommended by Mr. Randall, or
under the direct management of the Gov
ernment itself, is a question to he consid
ered. At all events, the Postmaster Gen
era] lias seized tbe bull by the horns in this
rc|uirt. and lie deserves the gratitude of the
country (or his broad views and prompt
action.—jY. X. Herald, 7l/i.
