Vv*>r more than one occasion recent ly wo have called the attention of fair* minded votem to ihe deliberate and RtfMufKa on I6« part* of cfio ciinmpiom of MtlledgeviUe to Atlanta and her citizens with the frauds of the Bullock regime snd the extravagance and corruption that flour* inhed thereunder. The more reckleea of these champions do not hesitate to any that Atlanta Is responsible for the frauds, but the more prudent content tl.emr>elvea with putting the charge in • a shape that implies more than is mud. Take, for instance, the following from a leading article in the Havannah Nr wk Tiue MiHcdtevtUe ta sanorti.:.-d io thevpln lw of s va*t oumW of our c.Uana wilb the guoi oM eajra wti«n boiMwi^, c> p-v- ly, •tc riii.g fo. trvdljr, poilttraJ fraedorn *od ihe government •dmlnlalrtcd by Uie Uat inai* of the nute, ns. tl»tw of her noil, wan h*sr S»!-f>y condition On lti« t.ibcr band.

"The frauds, corruptions, knavery and political bondage which characterised the state government while it was in the hands of ahen earjxt big ruUr* M Thus At- Unra—meaning her people, of course— is and ever will be inseparably connec tod with all the frauds for which alien carpet bag rulers are responsible! We cannot for the life of us conceive how- even the most deep-seated prejudice against Atlanta could suggest an aignment so impotent as to lead to a conclusion confounding to itmdf. In a nut-shell, the argument (and we repent it merely for bringing the non seguiur of the News more clear ly into view) is this: Atlanta, by a po liticaf or a military accidfot, frees me the hca<'«|iiarlrni of a thieving crew Therefore, Atlanta and her people are inseparably connected with all the frauds of the aiien carpet-bag rul ers, and are in some sort fo be held re.-p >nsible therefor. A house wherein robbery has been *' .minuted must remain untenanteu—otherwis the inmates will live under suspicion. Hut these frauds^tays the News.were perpetrated "when our beat people were disfranchised and held under by bayonet rule, with all their rights de stroyed ami trampled upon.” D^ea the editor ol the News in using the term "uar beat people” mean to desig nate the people ol any particular city or section, or does he mean the best pvo.»le of every city and section in tveotg.a? We ask tne question in all srnouniieas, because the argu ■n ut already quoted would, if sound, indicate that the people of Atlanta woe no* disfranchised and held under bp bayonet rule ; for it ntct-saarily fol lows, if Aiunts ia to be inseparably connected with the frauds of alien car* pel-beggersin so offensive a sense as to render the removal of the capital ne cessary to the purification of the state government, that, in the opinion of the News, her citizens were free enough to have prevented the corruption and ex travsgance of Bollock hail they been so inclined. I«» this U.e opinion of the editor of the N ws, or is the inference merely the result of the confusion aris ing from a good-naturtd attempt on our pan to reveue our contemporary from the tar glee and m«s?e < f his own logic—or, rather, his lack of logic? shake off the system that grew oat cf the necessities of the country during a great civil war. Instead of the country controlling the banks that it created, those banks control the country. The tail wags the dog. And yet the whole system is exjenaive, aedftende to make money scares wh« re it is m st needed. In no respect does it meet tne wants of these peaceful times. Ab a machine in a national exigency it worked admirably, but the system is now an tnenboa upon the energies of the country. Presupposing that there is power enough left in the people to shake off tbia system, a writer in the Raleigh, North Caro ns, Observer proposes the following changes: twetkbsdv, tcM sad stiver, be the n** Uoaal currency. a Authorize the stcreury of the treasury to Uaue oat exceeding one tbomwod minion dol lars of legal renders, including the $ 75,000000 already fa circulation, making them legal ten dera for all purpose*, f eluding duties ou tm- ports. except for gold contracts, ao spudded In S. 10 quire the natlooal banks to redeem all their circulation In legal tenders, or gold at u»dr option, making but one paper currency.

This power is the centralized force of a system that is sapping the energies of he people. It cannot he beaten by any ordinary effort; its hold upon the country cannot be loo*entd by one popular judgment. MR HILLIARD'S MOMISA T10S. Jin; mkxcb problem. The depart menial «lections of Inst Sunday to the councils general reau ted in another republican victory. T ese councils-general elect one-third of the senate in I87D, and the late elections there ore weakened MacMahon’s power over the body that he has heretofore relied on. An.or g I he defeated is the head of the ministry of the 16th of May, and curiously enough his succ asor is a BonapanisL !Y«aid- at MacMahun seems to be un willing to meet Ihe two severe detests that his unconstitutional course has provoa*vi,wUh a chaogt* that is really a concession. Uc does not want to face the uew chamber of deputies with his revolutionary miuistry, and yet the stubborn soldier cannot bring himself to the construciion of a cabinet in ac cordance with the will of the people. By const!acting a new cabinet, howev er, made up of more moderate men from the rigid, he hope# to be able to get along with the chamber of deputies until he finds out whether or not an other dissolution is feasible. M Founyer Qwrtier, the head of the proposed u«. w cahiter, belong* to the tight center — the Orleanist. He is a Urge manufacturer, and did valuable service in tbe trying Tne majority of tbe republican sena tors do not, it is semi-othc.aliy stated, intend to question any appointment made to fid a vacancy. If this Ik* true, ihe nomination of Mr. Hilliard will go through the senatorial mill unopposed; for he was appointed to till a vacancy ocasioned by tbe resignation < count of ill-health of M . Fart ridge, cf Maryland. Not only had Mr. Partridge resigned, but be bad left liio when Mr. Hilliard was appointed. A refusal to confirm the lattei's nomination would leave that important mission the hands of an altacliee. Nor will the usage of the senate in relation to the wb hes of the senators from the state, apply to Mr. Hilliard, It has long been tbe custom of the sen- ate not to cot.firm any nomination that opposed by «he senator from tbe state in which tbe candidate resides, provided the senatoi belongs to the party from which tbe nomination is suppose.! to ccrnr. This custom no obstacle to Mr. Hilliard confirmation. If anything, it pro motes it; for both of ihe Georgia sens' tors will undoubtedly urge the accep tance of Mr. Hilliard by the senate. lu short, there is no ground on w Inch the repnblicau senators can base any op position to Mr. Hilliard except gen* eral cussed nets. Those who have not discovered that the war ended in 1865, may vote against the nomination, but those who have kept up with the pro grers of events will certain ly vote to confirm the ap pointment, Aud it only takes iw or three independent republicans vot ing with the democrats to make majority of th“ senate. The defeat Mr. Hilliard on*the ground that be whs a zealous supporter of the confederacy while it lasted, would be tantamount loan order forbidding the intelligence of nearly one-halt of the country from participation in public affairs. the shadow of a change in the tone of tbe voice. For instance, were a French man, possessing a fair knowledge of tbe suLjtct, to read the leading edito rial in the Savannah News of Saturday, entitled ** The Capital Question in Politics,” be wo dd shrug his shoulders and lift up his eyebrows in mute despair. The subtle signifi cance of emphasis and accent would utterly fail hun. The burden of the article in the News is a lameri that the capital ques tion should be carried into politics, and it bases this lament upon the fact that tbe radical leaders are about to make a campaign against the new con stitution, and the further fact that most of them are in favor ot Atlanta as the capital. This the News calls car rying the capital question into politics, but precisely how this is to be accom plished, the editor of the News does not inform a*, for the capital question not being In the slightest degree political, we fail to under stand how it can be brought into politics. Does tbe fact that a rm.jority of the republican leaders favor Atlanta the capital give the question the hae and 6avor of politics? Rather does it not tend to remove it still fur ther from the m< rely political issues of the campaign ? For, in this matter, it must be borne in mind that the republican leaders for the first time perhaps since the war, find themselves supporting a measure that is supported by a majority of tbe dimocratic leaders m Georgia; they find themselves agreeing with such nistingQished democrats as Stephens, Toombs, Jenkins,Colquitt, Hill,Gordon Trippe, Lawton, Bleckley, Warner, James J«cks »n, Henry R. Jackson, William M. Reese, Augits- Keefe, Hook, Underwood, Wright, and hundreds ot other promi nent men in every section of the 6tate, who, having at heart the welfare of tbe stale, are earnestly in favor ot retain ing tbe capital in Atlanta. The infer ence, however, to oe drawn from the article in the News, upon which are commenting is that is quite deplorable for repub lic«ns to agree upon a matter ol state policy with the distinguished Georgi ans whose names we have given above; but it is fair to presume that the ediior will not find a very large chorus to take up his lamenta ions. The article the News concludes with ihit para graph: It U mi o;uroa e for Atlanta that politic* ftbouH h»v«t bcou p tmiiUHl to cri-cp i-to tola qaectlou At all, for as we have a own. tbe po litical as-ociaUouR connected with ’he eat.ib- liahment of the c»p!t*l there, are anything but •nvnrjr It K bowev. r, aptclelly nuformoate for that city that aucli men xa Bryant and Aker- should api>ear a* champloua of i.er cau-te. 1 hat fact ah n- wiU lose her many votes Does tbe News give the voters of tb« state ciedit tor common intelligence? Does the editor suppose that there are ten persons in Georgia who, convinced that it is proper and right that the capi tal shonld be retained in Atlanta, will vote for Millrdgeville simply be cans© Akerman and Bryant and other republicans agree with them? We admit that there are people whose politics are based on prejudice so blind and so bitter that no argument can ever hope to cure it, but, thank heaven ! they are few—so few, indeed, that A lania can well af ford to dispense with either their syrn pathy or their support. bat Azaluki tieayln iujeau A OMR yuasnoss axd answers MR CaXDLKR JXH THKRKPEAL BILL When the bill to repeal the useless, if not damaging, resumption date first came to a vote in the bouse our imme diate representative voted wiih the majority, lie has since steadily voted with the red-hot reeumptionists.

U r r°V^ana, wss j . all that ha deserves, iht oai/ so^th^ru dcmcaaal wotea The Savannah News, arguing in fav< r of returning the capital to “the hah of our fathers” says that "Milledgeviile associated in tbe minds of a vas' number of our citizens with the good old davs when honesty, capacity, ster ling integrity, political freedom ano the go vent mem administered by the best men of the state, natives of hei soil, was her happy condition.” Tbi. p : c.nre is truthfully drawn aud en tirely just, and the reverence of th« editor of the News for the past would be eminently praiseworthy did it lead him to ignore the present. His al tusion to the past is in the nature of ai argument in favor of MilledgeviUe am would seem to suggest an invidiou comparison between the state govern ment as administered in tbe old day and the state government as at present constituted. Will the News say tha “honesty, capacity and sterling integ rity” are not the characteristic*} of ih« present administration of stab affaire? Will our contemporar insist that the government is not in th ha**da of good men, natives of Georgia soil ? Can it be said that ihere is thing like extravagance or corruptioi in the present state administration We know, cf conree, what the reply tbe editor of the News will 1 He will say, if he says anything’ that tbe affairs of stale are in as hones aud as capable hands as they in the old days, and thin admission for it must come in the shape of an ad mission—will lead *he minds of Ub readers, as well as the minds of reasonable perrons, to the logically resistible conclusion suggested by th* argument of the News-namely, tha ii the state government is as honestly as economically and as capably admin istered in Atlanta as it was when “ th* fathers ” were at the head of affairs, no tound reason can be given for re turning tbe capital to MilledgeviUe. Prejudice itself, searching through it«- oile and bitterness with a microscope, will fail to find a tenable argument for removal. And this woutd be the cast- were everything equal equal;but Judge Reese, in h.s recent letter on the capi t»l question, proves that it will co6t tbe tax-payers of the state more than seven hard red thousand dollars to carry the capital bock to MilledgeviUe. The cor rectness ot his figures has been streneoQsly denied by the champions of MilledgeviUe, but it baa never been disproved; and, if we remember cor rectly, the editor of the News has never so much as attempted to controvert th© arguments put forth oy Judge Reese. The question, divested of the confused rhetoric and reckies* mis-tate- ments of interested persons, is simply one of public economy aud public con venience. Will it be aor.? economical the beginuing of a series of measures in the interest of the people. The bill parsed on Monday was the measure that Mr. Bland persidtentiv but vainly endeavored to puah through the last congress. Owing to his service the good cause the banking aud cur rency committee permitted him to pre sent the measure to the house. It was graceful act of courtesy toward the e-jpedal champion of silver restoration, and under his management tbe bill passed the house. To suspend the rules, a two-thirds vote was necessaiy, but this was not hard to get. Ihe affirmative vote would have been much larger if the houie had been full. Oa account of the state elections and other causes, no less than ninety-one members were absent. The thirty-feur negative votes were made up as follows: New York six, Rhcde Island two, New Hampshire two, Vermont three, California one, Missouri one, Maryland one, Michigan two, Massachu-etts five, Maine four, Louisiana two. New Jersey two, Penn sylvania one, Texas one, Georgia one. Ihe one from Georgia was cast by Mr. Stephens—why, we are unable to state may have been a committee griev ance ; bis metric theory may have been the bottom of his strange diver- vence—at any rate, we are unwilling believe that he is in favor cf giving the bondholders two hundred million* more than their contract with the gov ernment calls for. He certoiuly istities his vote by som* reason now unknown. The other eight members from Georgia were present and voted in favor of re storing the old silver dollar. Only five southern votes were cast against tbe bill—Messrs. Stephens, of Georgia; Swann, of Maryland; Schleicher, ot Texas; Leonard and Gibson, of Louis iana. Tie four negative votes from the west were those of Messrs. Davis, ol California; Cole, of Missouri, and Bre w aud 31cGowan, of Michigan. The sou: h aud west, with these exceptions, oted solid for the bill. Not a single i favor of the bill came from New England. Mr. Landers, of Connecticut, o would have voted f-*r it, wa»absent leave. New York cast three vote* for the bill—Messrs. Cox, Bundy aud Patterson. Pennsylvania gave sever votes favor.ble to the bill, cast bj Messrs Kelley, Bridges, Wright, R^-iLy, Marsh, Mackey iud White. Tne bill, in brief, provides for asilvei lollar of 412$ grains troy, to be an u:i limited legal tender, in all sums, tor ah debts, public and private, except where gold coin is stipulated in the contract. Free coinage is not prohibited. Th* bill now gees to the senate. Senator Jones says it will pass that body. Th< president will not be apt to interpoe* veto when no constitutional question involved.

A rumor to that effect hag been ztloat for severa days, and some of our northern exchanges are engage^ m criiiciziLg the appointment and-the app intee in a style somewhat acri monious General Sanford is charg*/J with rnskii g fraudulent contracts the matter of the purchase or sale arms, aud with various other offirikl doJir-quencies.

If Mr. Hayee is determined to appoint a republican he cjiiUI noi Bad a more respectable one than Gen era! Sanford, though it is but fair to say that men can be found in Florida —good democrats—quite as accom plished as General Sanford, and whose appointment would be far more satis factory to a conciliated south. 7HE STATE ELECTIONS. Tuesdav was clearly not a good day for tidal waves. There was too much indifference, and altogether too much iissension to secure a full vote in set eral of the states. Besides, the in- n duct ion of general tickets based on temporary side issues rendered a deci sive verd et between the two great par ties imposHiole. In New York, for »r sample, there were s:x tickets in the field - the democratic, repub- ;can, greenback, prohibition, united workingmen's and bre.;<lwiuners 'ennsyivania and Wisconsin e*cb had four tickets. Under such circum- tances, f ullcr returns than we have yet received are necessary to arrive at understanding of the popular judg menu. At present, we know that the demo crats have lost nothing that they be- ore controlled. We have carried N York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Vir ginia, Mississippi ar.d Maryland. The egislatures cf New York and Connect icut were against up and will piobably --©main so another year. This is tressiiTg, especially in the case oi New York^bnt it is no ios9. So in Wisconsin Our positive gains seems be limited to Pennsylvania. We have held our own and carried the i ystone state. Perhaps this is glory mongh, but it is not enough to comm ute a tidal wave. Let us await how- vei fuller return©; for beneath som© of *he miscellaneous voting there may silver lining that is not at present perceptible *’Old Si” re-appeare fresh from his summer fishing and ready to entertain he readers of Tub Constitution and ihe nation, with his hnmorous views of men and affairs. The press of the country has repeatedly requested the old man to return to his j*ost and are pleased to announce, in his c words, “dat he ar’ heah an' proprosts ter rebide du'ln de winter.” The renominatiou of Hon. Wm. M. Reese to the senate from the 29 .h dis tricl is a recognition of his ability and his services which is peculiarly gratify tng to his friends throughout the state. In this instance the office sought the man, and it could not have found worthier one. The mtn who invented italic type was tne unknown and unfortunate benefactor of the “humble factor” of the Macon Telegraph. He is entitled to an italic shaft over his grave from CjL Jones’s worn out fonts ol the lean ing letter. _ The New York bun is after Mr. John Welsh. It opposes all of Mr. Hayes' nominations, and haa to find some rea- n in each particular case. It accuses Mr. Welsh of being a Cuban slav bolder—and then it exhumes Charles Sumner. And now RepicatiiUtive Philips of Kansas wants the government to go into the savings-bank business. H s bill provides that at each office where the postmaster's salat y i-s $1000, application, a savings-bank shall be established. D* posits shall be receiv ed at as low an amount as twenty-five ct-nte, the amount not to exceed $200 It provides that when $25 i9 deposited it shall bear 3 per cent, interest when place*! subject to ten days notice before call. It authorizes the issue of 3 65 bonds, in denominations of $25, $50, $100 and $200, with coupons payable every three mon’hs,which, ou demand, shall be payable on the amount de posited when called. It provides for additional bonds for tbe pistoffice where such backs are established, and that the bands may be increased from time to time, and leaves the execution of th© provisions of th© act with the postmaster general.

LRrmIXG OX LOGS. The T Imbvr Thieves eflaathfni Htn- slsalppl Being Breught to low. Washington, November 7.- Special Agent Carter tel* graphs to the commis sioner of the general land office from Pascagoula, Mi£8, Nov. 6 h, that the United States marshal for the southern district of Mississippi has seized, in the three southern counties bordering on • he Gull of Mexico, in the snit of the United States against John Manning and others, a large amount of limber, principally pine logs, estimated at over 75,000 in number, besides the large nmouut of timber be'onging to the United Bates and taken from pnbiic lands. There will be eeized, under this process from court, a laige amount ot charcoal and turpentine. This action, independent of the large value of the- property received, stops a trade which nas maintained a large fleet of vessels carrying the timber or lumber mann» fictured therefrom, and which is un lawfully token from tbe public lands,to foreign and domestic markets, and ban virtually snpprtesed the depredations on the public lauds in the southern district of Mississippi. THE BELGIAN MISSION. H. N. Hanford. Special telegram to the Inter-Ooosn. Washington, N .vember 4.—Assist ant Secretary Be ward is authority for the statement that H. S. Sanford, <;i ibis city, has been nominated as min ister to Brigium, and that his name has been sent to the senate. This is very angular, because Sanford's name hat* never appeared in the official list of nominations, which ia always fur nished the press was mutilated by having a name cat out from among th«- f reign ap|>ointmeate, and some a: ten tion was attracted io it by a rumor a (tried by a wag that tbe president had written B mon Cameron's name down, and then cnanged his mind and cut it out. If it is true, as conjeciured, fbai Sanford’s name was cut out to prevent the publication of his nomination, ii will be a great scandal, for of all Presi dent Haves' appointments this is the worst. Sanford was a great friend ol William H. Seward, and through him obtain* d contracts for furnishing tbe government with arms during the war. The arms were totally worthless, and were afterward discovered to have been bought at sales of condemned muskets by the Belgian and French governments, but Sanford made mint of money, and has since lived in great style in Washington, en tertaining more lavishly than any other resident. He has managed to continue hie intimacy with the Seward family, and Fred Seward was his guest for eeveral months after he became assistant, secretary of state.
