»»d<*r to receive attention,
acripla will not be retornm
We desire to dim!! the attention of
the peop’e of Georgia to the letter of
Judge William M. Re'**, which we
publish el*ewhere. It in from the pen
of one whose impartial mind and jo—
dicial methods of reasoning give his
corciusiona exceptional weight. His ar
gument* in favor of Atlanta are abso
lutely irresiatihle ami unanswerable.
They are based on facte
and not upon assertions. It
will l*e perceived that he by no mesne
agrees with the editors of the Macon
Telegraph in respect to the proposition
made to the people of the state by At
lanta. The editors aforesaid state that
the oiler is a bribe—that the terms
thereof will never be earned out in
good faith by the city, and that the
state has no remedy should Atlanta
fall to redeem her pledge. Judge
Itoese, one of the most distinguished
jurists in the state, is convinced that
Atlanta will carry out the terms
of her proportion to the let
ter, and ha baaea this conviction
upon (he fed that the city has never
yet failed to meet her obligations. He
shows, furthermore, what remedy the
state can apply should Atlanta even
attempt to evade her proposition, and
he proves that under the new constitu**
lion, which is certain to be adopted
the city will have fall power to carry
out the terms thereof. Now, which
should have the inoat weight with the
lieople, the calm, convincing arguments
of a distinguished jurist who reasons
frcin f«c?H, or the wild assertions of
the editors of the Macon Telegraph?
Which should commend itself to the
belter judgment of the voter who has
his own welfare and the welfare of his
state at hrsrt, the statement of a lawyer
whose abilities have made him a leader
among his people ar.d whose years and
experience have made him impartial*
or the random and heated utterance?
of those who are fortified only by preju
dice and sectional feeling.
It will be seen that Judge Iteese’s
ear i mate of the erst of
removal to Milledgeville falls only about
two tlionsand dollars short of ours, and
yet the editors of the Macon Telegraph
seised our figures and held them up as
a frightful example of “bull-dosing,”
meaning, it is to f»o presumed, 'hat Tux
OoNhi iTiTio.N was making » fiendish
attempt to frighten the tax payers. In
the same style the Macon pnodits at
tempted to ridicule our statement that
the present cspitol building would re
vert to Atlanta in case of removal.
*udgo Ileeae makes the
same statement, and takee
the trouble to explain the matter
so that not even the editoia of the Ma
con Tolegraph can fail to understand
it. Til* Constitution stated further
that an extra session of the legislature
would have to be called if the people
voted the capital hack to Milledgeville
—whereupon the Macon editors formed
themselves info a sort of judicial san
hedrim, resolved that an extra session
of the leg slature was neither necessary
r.or desirable and proclaimed the fact
to the country at large. Judge Reese,
however, who is supposed to
know something n! the meth
ods of stab -craft, says that
an extra session is necessary. W<
trust the Macon editors will seixe upon
Judge Reese's letter and “dissect" it
for the benefit of their readeis, and we
trust, moreover, that they will give
their subscribers an opportunity to read
the letter ss it stands.

Hence, tbe difference m tbe distance is
seveaty-five miles, and this at ten
cents per mite, going and coming, is
fifteen dollars. Without enumerating
the counties that travel this route, It is
sufficient to pay that it embraces all
the counties in tbe state lying on or
contiguous to the South western, as Ur
we*t*s Chattahoochee, Stewart, Mas
cog- e and Harr.s. These counties go
to Columbus and take the road to
Opelika, Ala, and from that point to
Atlanta -the distance from Colombns
to Atlanta being one hundred and foity
miles. It also embraces aU the coun
ties in the state that lie on or contigu
ous to the Brunswick road, and tbe Sa
vannah and Gulf toad west of Jessup.
In all instances where the members
have to c.nae through Atlanta, I have
added to the mileega to Milledgeville
one hundred and thirty one miles, this
being the distance from Atlanta to
Milledgeville. Without enumerating
these counties, it is enough to say that
it embraces all of north Georgia above
Atlanta, all of northeast Georgia that
lies on or contiguous to the Richmond
and Air Line road, and all the counties
on the Atlanta and West Point road as
far down as Troup.
Iu all instance*, where the members
have to pass through Gordon on the
Central rov 1, I have subtracted from
the milea^j to Atlanta one hundred
and six miles; this being the differ
ence in the distance from any point on
he Central or its branches east of
Gordon.
Ia all instances where the counties
lie on or contiguous to the Georgia
road, I have taken tbe nearest practi
cal route to either Atlanta or Miliedge-
ville.
This mode of calculation necessarily
leads to correct results, and so far from
its being true, that the advantage is in
favor of Milledgeville, it is in favor of
Atlanta.
It is true that the difference is small,
but this difference will be increased
with every recurring census. All can
did men are compelled to admit that
northern Georgia is increasing in popu
lation and wealth more rapidly than
southern and southeast Georgia is, and
Uc. the northern counties gain in popu
lation, they will gain in members.
I will, at my leisure, look further in
to the article in the Telegraph and
Messenger, and I have no donbt that I
shall be able to demonstrate the article
incorrect in all ha mnln features.

Atlanta rats form a distinctive feature

however, on Ue subject is from the Globe
Democrat ol 8L Louis, where a fierce rat war is
raging. There are several professional rat
catchers in that city, seme ol whom must be
brought to Atlanta before very long to rid as of
or pests. The Globe-Democrat says:
It isa lac*, though one not generally known,
that at all times there have been men who made
a liying by rst-ca.chUig, the intelligence of the
human being so brought to bsur on the pursuit
that one man, unaided, can in a single night
produce more result* than the combined in
stinct-guided efforts ot a hundred of the natur

came to this city. From here he re
moved to the south. He resided tor a
time in Atlanta, Georgia, and later in
Huntsville, Alabama, finally removing
to Columbia, S C.
Ab the children grew up,their vouth
fnl minds were filled with the ides, by
the stej -1 o’he*, that their own moth
er was a woman of evil repute, which
the unnatural father took no pains to
deny. As may be supposed, a union
formed under the circumstances which
actuated Lybrand aud his second wif
w.ts not one calculated to promote do
mestic happiness, and their lives were
none of the pleasantest. The elder son
followed his father's footsteps in becom
ing a musician, and grew up in a rather
loose way. The daughters' lives were
clouded by a silent sorrow and sense
of shame, as they became old enough
to re&Fze what was meant by the vile
tale constantly kept in view,concerning
their mothet’s character.
A dez n years passed, and yet that
mother received no tidings of her loved
and lost darlings. Finally, some three
years since her eldest daughter, be*
tween whom aud the 8tepm> ther there
had long been a variance of feeling on
account of severe domestic tasks, lei’
her father's house and went to Butler
couuty, this state,wheie the stepmother
had relatives. These same relatives
had been also imbued with the idea,
by Mrs. Lybrand No. 2, that tbe char
acter ol the woman whose husband she
had virtually stolen waa not like Cast's
wife, and altogether unworthy their re
gard.
There the young lady, S gnorina Lr-
brand, made her home for about a
year, when the stepmother came to
visit her people. Miss Lybrand had,
since coming back to her native state,
won the regard of a well to do and
wor.hy farmer of the Presbyterian
faith, named Williamson, and the nup
tial day was in the near future.
In perfect 'raping with her former
character for traducing the girl’s moth
er, the visitor endeavored to prevent
the union by rehearsing the same slan
ders in the lover's ears. He heard all,
bnt as it was the girl he loved, and not
her family, he ignored the story, so far
as not to permit it to influence the mar
riage, which took place in due time,and
has been bleseed w ith one child. After
her marriago, Mrs. Williamson sent for
her lister to come and live with her.
This she did, bringing a letter written
to her bt other by a relative in Tarlton,
the two young men having kept up a
desultory correspondence since
young Lybrand was taken
south by his father. The sis
ters finally decided to write to this
cousin, John K. Noble, for the purpose
of ascertaining in what estimation they
might be held, supposing the cruel sto
ry about their mother might be true.
They were pleased to receive a favor
able reply, which finally resulted in
(lie reunion of the long separated mo
ther and her daughters. The visit also
included a visit to an aunt, a sister of

her mother has resided all the: e long,

children to keep her company. The
meeting between the long separated
mother and daughter was one c f thoee

waa iudeed an affecting one. There
she learned of a trut h, what true friends
had before made plain, that her moth
er had tesn mist deeply
wronged and traduced by a woman to
whose cheek the blush of shame had
long been a stranger, aud over whose
heart had grown a callosity that only
the hand of Providence can soften.
After spending a few days in pleasant
social intercourse, the daughter bade
her gladdeneu mother good-bye, and
returned here, bringing with her the
younger brother, who goes to visit bis
new relatives in Butler county.
