THE ATLANTA WEEKLY SUN. THE DAILY SUN. | Saukday Moenino November4 TIIE CAPITOL.. SDA-STROKES. &a5"New York votes next Tuesday. Ever and auou, iu the public and pri vate affairs of life, something occurs to set tbo words of au old melody ringing as clearly os though they were just born; and lately Hid words of the Irish poet <% (tr have been called up with singular appro priateness: “The harp, that once through Tara's Tfell Its soul of music shod, Now hangs as mute in Tara's Wy.1l As though its soul wero dead.” It is a sad melody, and is called np only by sad events; and what event is so sad ns to sit in the gallery of the Honse of Representatives, and, while looking down into the faces of those who are there to represent the virtues and intelli gence of the people, to miss the well known face of the “patriot” O’NenL Where is O’Neal ? Not he of the “pre vious condition,” with the apostolic front name—but that other, the “ trewly loil” and equally pious John W., who walked the forum like * ‘a thing of beauty and a joy forever,” and made “ music sweet in that old hall” with the mellow voice of eloquence. It is a fine, old Irish mure that he bears, and, though he is not a Grattan, or a .Curran, or an Emmett, or a — ; —■ Fitzpatrick—yet he is an O’Neal. Where is he ? What hath bccomo of him ? Upon what food is our Caesar now feeding ? Is he preparing to swoop from the eminence of some grand^ occasion and re-astound the world with the brilliance of his genius ? We pine to know what hag become of the Mentor of Radicalism—he who was to faithful to the interests of “loilty”—ho who was so earnest a laborer for },he very small con sideration of nine dollars a day. Alas, shall his eloquence no more be heard in the Hall of the House of Representatives? Has he, too, passed off the stage finally and forever ? Shall we never again hear his "Thunder’s sound Slialic the forum round and round, Shako the pillars of the earth?” Alas! we fear that he has gone, glim mering like a fummer’s dream, swept away like the fantastic fabric of a vision, and wo can only bow our head in silent mortification, and whisper a last good-bye, farewell, adios, adieu—or, if there is any tenderer expression, we will whisper that to him, or at him. There are so many of these old plums of “patriotism” claiming farewells at our hands, that the tenor of these articles is somewhat diverted from the original purpose. But we felt it to be our duty to write the political obituaries of a few of them who were the Demostheneses,and the Patrick Henrys, and the George Washingtons, and the Dan Rices of Radi calism, and expend a few tears in memo ry of them. We have partially dis charged that duty, and will very soon have them all well wept. Thep we can proceed Fitfe the “regular order of the day,” The present House, we observe, is not so greatly concerned about the lost sbeep of tho house of Cush, as it is with the conundrum pertaining to the absence of the Honorable Mr. Page. Where 'is Page? asks the Honse of Representa tives, and away down in Lee county, the Sheriff wafts back the responsive inquiry pf “where is Page?” There is a little hficount against him, for murder, entered upon the criminal docket of the county that he claims to represent; therefore, he- is conveniently absent. Phil. Joiner says Page is sick. Probably he is. Al- *most anybody would b«- sick under simi lar circumstances. Both branches of the Assembly seem to have raveled all tie mysteries of the situation, and show a disposition to “come to hooks.” Some heavy chunks of business were shouldered, yesterday, in both ends of the State House. It was agreed to recognize Mr. Conley as Acting Governor, and a joint committee was raised to notify him of the fact. In the Senate the important considera tion of emolument came up. This em bodies the real test of patriotism. If men are willing to serve their State for the mere item of necessary expenses, tak ing tho honor for their real reward, they are patriots beyond a peradventure —patriots in a practical sense—patriots in behalf of the interests of the people, and deserve to be so commended. It is not believed that tho present Assembly will value the services of its members at nine dollars a head for each day. There was some excuse for this kind of action on the part of the last Assembly. While the services of the members of the then dominant party was not worth more than $1 87} apiece, it was worth all of the bal ance of the nine dollars to be known as Radical A man can afford to be called a Democrat for the honor of the thing and serve as a legislator for a moderate per diem, to cover expenses; therefore, we look for a reasonable appropriation for the expense of legislating. Bills have been introduced in both branches providing for a special election for Governor. The Bill will speedily be come au Act, and it is highly probable that an election will be held early in De cember. This is the surest and least complicated way of surmounting all diffi culties, and producing perfect harmony •between the Executive and Legislative departments of the State Government.

The reason for this action was the lunatics discovered that no one of them is as crazy as the editor of the Avalanche, hence, could not hope to enter the pro fession and compete with him; therefore the whole crowd declined. >. «■< fi®, Two notable refugees are abioad in tho country—Brigham Young and Rufus Bullock. Young’s complications grew out of a multiplicity of marriage bonds which he has contracted. Bul lock’s grew out of the multiplicity of an entirely different kind of bonds which he has expended. Both flee from still an other kind of bonds, which they would, doubtless, have been required to give, had they remained at home. One flees from an excessively married State, the other from an excessively marred State. Secretary and Cleric, The election of OUT fellow-citizen, T. W. J. Hill, to the Secretaryship of the Senate was as surprising to the people of this city as it was a compliment well deserved. Very few of his per sonal friends here knew that he was a candidate, He is a gentleman fa vorably known by all, and will fill the office satisfactorily. Col. Waddell is a talented gentleman uud superior officer. Mr. Carrington, his assistant, is one of the most accurate and efficient man in Georgia. State Road Investigation. Major Hillyer has introduced a resolu tion to have the conduct of Foster Blod gett and his associates inquired into. This will, of course, be done. With a Committee of the Legislature, clothed with power to compel the attendance of witnesses, and the production of books and papers, and such assistance as can be rendered by others, the bottom of dis honesty can be reached. We learn that Major Hargrove and Major McCalla, who have done so much to ferret out the ras cality, are able to point out the locality of a very large amount of property rightfully belonging to the State—much of which can be secured and saved. Cotton Shipments. We are glad the House has recognized and acted on tho principle that those who do not pay taxes cannot legally vote.— The seating of the members from Bibb was eminently constitutional aud just. The ways of commerce and competi tion in freights are subjects of wonder to those who are not initiated. We are in formed that the Green Line has, this fall, shipped no less than 7,000 bales of cotton from Nashville, through this city, via Charleston to New York, and that the rates from that point to New York, through this city, are slightly lower than from this city to New York. We also learn that the same line has shipped over 1,000 bales from this city to Nashville and Cincinnati—mostly, how ever, for the Western AfiUa, We further learn that cotton can be shipped from this city to New York by rail, all the way, slightly cheaper than by Charleston or Savannah—at least, we have heard it so stated, and suppose it to be true. We noticed last year that freights from Charleston to Rome, through this city, were lower than from Charleston here. These are some of the curiosities of the transporting business. GEORGIA MATTERS. The Marietta Male Academy is nearly completed. The Columbus Sun of the 2d says: In the afternoon of yesterday, a man whose name is given as Doc Harris, dashed, with a horse and buggy, through tho Fair Ground gates, and then commenced lashing his horse and sending him pell mell through the crowd in every direc tion. Policemen ordered him to stop and tried to catch his bridle, but all was in vain. He dashed against a carriage. A lady inside fainted. Several children narrowly, escaped. As a last resort, to save life, the gate-keeper, Mr. R. A. Wood, seeking au opportunity when his shot could injure no human creature, aimed at the horse, which was iu a gal lop. The ball struck the animal in the shonider and killed him. The man was carried to the guard-house, but was re leased on heavy bail. We understand he is from Harris county. Intoxication the cause. Mr. Joe Deamond, of Muscogee ooun- ty, was able to raise only 365} bushels of sweet potatoes on one acre of ground. The Rome Courier of Thursday says: We are credibly informed that under the direction of a deputy United States Marshal, the soldiers that passed through Rome last Monday have arrested James Casey and Thomas his son, David Lowry and Jacob Thomas of Polk county; also, Duncan Monroe and his son-in-law of Haralson county. They say they expect to make other arrests in that vicinity. It is conjectured that true bills were found against these parties in the Federal Court at Atlanta. They are preparing to give bail. The chestnut crop puts in a good ap pearance at Dalton. Price per bushel, $4 00. Rev. Wm. W. Woodward, of Dooly, died last Monday, of appoplexy, aged twenty-five. The Chronicle <6 Sentinel, of the 2d, says : We learn that yesterday afternoon as the passenger train on the Georgia Railroad was running at its usnal rate of speed this side of Thomaston, some un known person struck a young man named Maxwell, from Washington, Georgia, who was standing on the platform of one of the cars, on the head with a sling shot and then jumped off the train. The sup position is that the miscreant thought the blow would cause his victim to fall from the car, and he would then have ample opportunity to plunder him of whatever valuables he might have on his person. The young gentleman, however, escaped with a slight bruise on the fore head. S. W. Brown, of Pulaski, got four pre miums, at the State Fair on Georgia raised stock. Steamers from Charleston are no lon ger quarantined at Savannah. John Shepherd, of Savannah, grew jealous, and shot his wife. Colored. A six-pound potato has delighted the Griffin Middle Georgian. Pitt M. Brown is pitted as a candidate for Mayor of Griffin. W. J3. R. Millar. The Grand Jury of the sitting Supe rior Court of Fulton county, some days ago, found a true bill against W. D. R. Millar, of Savannah, charged with de frauding the State Road. He gave $8,0QO_bail for bis appearance at Court. The case will be tried when the criminal docket is taken up, The Grand Jury Now in session will, we understand, investigate the State Road cases, which lately created so much excitement. We hope they will do this work calmly, dispassionately, without prejudice or fa vor towards any one, and render a just verdict iu every case. Break-Dc^wn. As the down freight train from Dalton was passing about a mile below Calhonn, yesterday, one of the car axles broke, precipitating five or six of the box cars from the track. No one was injured, and the damage was very slight. * The Abel Loom Company, of Atlanta, which has recently been organized with a paid up capital of $100,000, and con trols this great ^invention for the South ern States, has selected Mnj. J. M. Wil lis, of the Dollar Savings Bank, as Sec retary. His excellent business qualifica tions will be devoted to the interest of the Loom Company, and will, doubtless, be a great benefit. Bullock’s Slanders. Mr. McMillan’s proposition, so elo quently put, to postpone the passage of the resolutions referring to Bullock’s slanders upon the Democratic members of the Legislature, and to have a com mittee appointed, before which the mem bers could appear and personally vindi cate themselves, seemed to ns to be a very proper suggestion—one that would most effectually thrust the false charges back into the teeth of the slan derer. Cotton Market. Receipts for the week ending Friday night, 909 bales; shipments 817; stock on hand 490. Receipts for the day—Friday—about 150 bales; sales 140; middlings 161. The market through the week has been steady. The lateness of the fall is crea ting tho impression that the crop will turn out larger than was at first estima ted. This, at present, has a tendency to check any upward movement. The receipts at the ports for the next three weeks will be watched with eager ness by operators; for upon these mainly depend the.question of high or low pri ces for some months. “The absconding brigand who ruled Georgia under the name and style of Governor thereof’—Macon Teleyrqp i. Failure of the True Georgian. Yesterday, Dr. Bard’s so-called True Georgian suspended. The Doctor is still in Washington, where he has been beg ging for a restoration of friendly relations and the granting of material aid from Gen. Grant. He has not succeeded. His last dispatch to Mr. Nall, the business manager, was—“Thatends it/” The em ployees of the office, forthwith, shingled it over with attachments for wages—their claims amounting to some six or seven hundred dollars. The Doctor’s family is not here. He sold out his furniture some time ago, and has left nothing behind except the mate rial of his office, which, we believe, be longs to other parties. Only one of the trio of Bs remains in TELEGRAMS. It is expected that Jules Favre will be ambassador to Berlin, Lord Harcourt resumes the ambassa dorship to Rome. A contract for the sale of the Dutch settlement of Sumatra and the coast of Guinea, has been signed by the Dutch and English governments.

Philadelphia, November 3.—Gold smith Maid beat Lucy for $3,000. Time, 2:22} 2:18}, 2:18}—beating Dexter’s time over the Suffolk Park track. Chableston, November 3. Four deaths from yellow fever have been re ported in the last 24 hours. Cardoza, the colored Secretary of State, has resigned to accent a professorship in the Howard University at Washington. Columbia, November 3.—Preparations for the State Fair have been nearly com pleted. The Fair will open on the 6th and close on the 11th. Columbia will offer many attractions for the Fair week. A large crowd is anticipated. General Early will speak before the Associa tion. ' New Yoke, November 3.—If Prince Alexis arrives before Tuesday, he will go to Washington, in cognito. Of the thirty imprisoned debtors four were heard to-day and five were de tained, the decisions in their cases be ing reserved. Tbo balance were dis charged. The whole police force is ordered on duty Tuesday to preserve order. Under the regulations, each candidate is permitted to have a friend present to see fair play. The Supreme Court will be open all day, independent of the usual business, to protect honest voters in their rights. Prompt investigations are promised. Three thousand young men have been enrolled by the committee of seventy to watch the election, Judge Barnard stated in court to-day that he was determined to stop imprison ment for debt and as witnesses. The President has issued a supple mental Proclamation, which releases Marion, South Carolina, and says: “Whereas, it has been ascertained that unlawful combinations and conspiraces, of the character and to tho extent and for tlie purposes described in said Proc lamation in the county of Union, South Carolina, do exist; now, therefore,” &c,, &c. It is stated that a clerical blunder, in writing “Marion” for “Union,” ne cessitated tbis supplemental proclama tion. Chicago, Novembers.—Governor Pal mer has written a letter to the Attorney General directinghim to present the facts in regard to the killing of General Gros- vernor to the Grand Jury of Cook coun ty. Palmer argues that the act was the result of usurpation ou the part of Gen. eral Sheridan and others. Gov. Palmer, after alluding to circum stances attending the death of Grosve- nor, concludes: I think you will perceive it is now the duty of the Governor and Attorney General, and and all other offi cers, to see that the laws are enforced against all parties concerned in these ille gal aud dangerou * acts. It is not neces sity, in determining a line of duty to be adopted, to inquire whether the Mayor of Chicago, Lieut. Gen. Sheridan and W.T. Sherman and bis associates and sup posed subordinates,who were the agents by which the death of Thos. Grosvenor was produced iu assuming powers they did not possess, and which cannot be conferred upon them, were influenced by proper or improper motives or pur poses. They assumed to suspend the operation of the Constitution and laws of the State, and substitute in their stead, martial law and force to be defined and applied by themselves. They, by their lawless act, at tacked and insulted the dignity and authority of the State, and have, by their dangerous example, weakened pub lic confidence in the Constitution and laws; and in their attempt to enforce usurped and lawless authority, they have sacrificed the life of a peaceable citizen. Animated by the confidence I have thus expressed, and confident in the belief that the State of Illinois, acting through the proper departments of its government, "is capable of protecting its own people, and of enforcing the dig nity and authority of its own laws, I have to request that you, in conjunction with the State’s atttomey of the Seventh Circuit, will bring all the facts before the Grand Jury of Cook county, in order that all persons connected in the unlawful killing of Thos. W. Grosvenor may be brought to a speedy trial. Louisville, Nov. 4.—Last night a mob collected abont the jail in Jeffersonville, Indiana, with the intention of lynching a negro named John Washington, who at tempted an outrage on a little white girl, and whose father died from excitement produced by the outrage. The prisoner the city, and tne Grand Jury are look- was slipped out by the back way and ing after him. I conveyed to the State prison, and, on learning which, the mob dispersed. This morning the prisoner was Liken to the jail in Charleston, Indiana.; ■ Cincinnati, November 5.—A special from Portsmouth says, while the mail train going east stood, at the depot, the boiler exploded, lulling two and badly hurting two others. The boiler was twenty years old and bad just been patched. The depot was badly wrecked. Savannah, November 5.—Collector Robb 'lias returned, and is in charge of the Custom House. A bill ha3 been found in the United States Court against him for embezzlement and aiding in a conspiracy to defraud the Government. He his been bailed. Jackson, November 4.—Tho Fair has been postponed until the 4th of Decem ber. The State election for Legislature aud county officers takes place next Tuesday. Much activity prevails in both political parties. The contest will be very close. The majority for either party iu the Leg islature must be small. The weather >s warm for the late sea son. Philadelphia, November 5.—The Board of Health reports au average of fourteen deaths a day from small-pox, during the week ending to-day, being a slight increase over the previous week. San Francisco, November 4.—The Chinese companies are suing Los Angeles for damages on account of the late mas sacre. The Apaches, on the 11th of October, sixty strong, attacked and burned a ranch on the San Simon river, in Arizona, kill ing one man and wounding another. Capt. Smith, of the Twenty-first In fantry, writes that tho Indians were pur sued by the troops, and were found to come directly from the reservation of Canada. There are five hundred Indians on the ration roll at Camp Grant, and on last ration day only fifty answered—the remainder being on the war path. London, Nov. 4.—The Telegraph this morning prints a special dispatch from Paris, containing the statement that a plot, of dangerous character, against the present government of Spain,' has been discovered in that city. The Times this morning expresses its intention of closing its columns to the discussion of international copyright, which has become quite heated. Already one libel suit has grown out of the con troversy—Hon. Mrs. Norton plaintiff. Washington, November 5.—The Post master General will be absent until Wed nesday. General Marston, of New Hampshire, succeeds Gen. Kryzanowski, as Super visor of Internal Revenue for Georgia. - ■— E. F. Blodgett Arrested. Yesterday, upon affidavit of Charles P. McCalla, ^E. F. Blodgett, son of Capt. Foster Blodgett, who was General Pur chasing Agent for the Western and At lantic Railroad during the Blodgett ad ministration, was arrested and brought before Judge W. M. Butt. Maj. McCalla swore, in .the affidavit, that from the best of his knowledge and belief, he was a cheat aipj swindler in that: on the 13th and 26th September, 12th and 21st Octo ber, 15th and 21st November and on the 24tb and 28th December, 1870, he did, by and through artful means ancf deceit ful practices, obtain from the Treasury of the Western and Atlantic Railroad $7,411 29. The prisoner waived examination, and gave bond for $2,000 for his appearance at court, Mr. A. T. Finney becoming his bondsman. These specifications are connected with the transactions of W. R. D. Millar, of Savannah, who was bound over by Judge Butt, sometime ago, aud who, on Friday, gave bond in the sum of $8,000, for his appearance before the Superior Court, to stand his trial—a true bill having been found against him by the Grand Jury the day before. It is re ported that young Mr. Blodgett was pre paring to leave the city, going to New York—which caused his arrest—though we do not know that this is true. It is so reported. Mr. Page, of Lee, is a bright example of Radical integrity. It seems he is charged with having committed a mur der, has violated his bond, is afraid to appear here lest he should be arrested, but is trying to have the Legislature pay him, nevertheless. THE CAPITOL. Dr. Lipsey, of Lee, we beg your par don. Your name was crowded off among the Republicans of tho House, without our “knowledge and consent.” We know it was a great mistake. It is bad company to put one into who fought through the whole war on the South side, and who never in his life cast any other than a straight out, Simon pure Demo cratic vote. But mistakes will happen. Perhaps the collective wisdom of the House of Representatives will make some mistakes before the present session is over. They are likely to occur at any time: and that is why Dr. Lipsey’s name got down among the names of the Radi cals. He will find it in good company this morning, and we have no doubt it will always remain there—at least it will so far as we are concerned. “Misther Shpaker!” Very mellifluously were these words wont to fall on the ear of the Honse, in the melodious brogue of Fitzpatrick, of Bibb. But alas, he has gone the way of the other Radicals, and no longer is per mitted to serve the State. Fitzpatrick is “patriot.” There can be no doubt of that. He was willing to do the repre senting for Bibo county, even though his opponent had the greater number of votes. He and his two ebon compatriots came np to claim their seats, but Messrs. Bacon, Ross and Nutting held certificates from the Secretary of State, and also produced evidence that they had received the larger number of votes. Therefore, they were seated and Fitzpatrick, Turner and Pollock have only to gather up their carpet-bags and go home. Let them go, Turner is an impudent negro, and wa? always a nuisance in the House. Of Pol lock we know nothing. But it is hard to part with Fitz. It is not often we cross a man who is so blissfully ignorant, or so exceedingly good-natured. It whs fun to have him around. He is quite an orator —after his fashion; perpetrates “bulls” with an avidity that would astonish a Texas drover, and whenever he rises to explain, it can be set down that every thing will be made as clear as mud. But into his ear we must whisper— “The saddest yet of Ml sad words—farewell." Tlie Press ou Bulloch. The Knoxville Chronicle of the 2d iust —a Radical paper, says: The impression a resignation under such circumstances would naturallv cre ate is, that the Governor felt certain of conviction, either from the intense parti- sanism and recklessness of his oppo nents, or from a consciousness of guilt. The Columbia, S. C., Phoenix, of the 2d, conservative, says: We see that Governor Bullock, the Radical Governor Georgia, has resigned. This he did in anticipation of the meet ing of the Democratic Legislature of Georgia. Expecting to be impeached he resigned his office. Serious charges of official corruption and mal-adminis- tration rest upon him. He resigned and fled, and Georgia breathes freer. The Petersburg, (Va.) Index, of the 1st, says: Bullock, of Georgia, the thickest of hide, and the toughest of conscience, of all that noble army of adventurers and thieves, has resigned the Governorship of that State, and precipitately fled to parts unknown, having previously pos sessed himself of more than five million dollars of the people’s money. Bullock’s flight will be as much a re lief to the ridden, robbed, desperate aud exasperated people of Georgia, as was Cataline’s from Rome; when every citi zen lay down at night and awoke in the morning with an uneasy and unhappy sense, that the eyes of the arch-traitor might be fastened upon him. That he gorged himself with plunder before he left—that he filled his pockets and money bags with substance, hard earned, of the people, above whom he was elevated as Chief Magistrate by fraud and violence, mattered Httle; the people are willing to pay such a heavy price, even, to rid themselves of such a nuisance and curse. And, again; Let us be thankful that here iu Vir ginia, though we have some occasions of regret aud complaint, we have no such foul creatures in place, iu our State Gov ernment, as this cantiDg, and whining, and rapacious carpet-bag scoundrel, Bul lock. There have been no such rings among us, as that of which he and bis tools and creatures were the centres and manipulators—the railroad rings which coined such ample fraudulent gains for the carpet-bag swindlers of Georgia. It is'pleasant to reflect that their race of fraud and theft, is ended—that Bullock has resigned and fled, and Kimball, it is stated, has failed. So may it be ever with the greedy, unprincipled characters, who have fastened their fangs on the fallen body of the South, and would prey on the blood of her helpless people. The Nashville Union and American of the 2d instant says: It is very likely he would have been impeached, as he has been guilty of crimes that ought to subject him to that sort of discipline. Tlie New Y’ork Ti'ihutie of the 31st says: The resignation of Gov. Bullock of Georgia will take the country generally by surprise. The relations of the Gov ernor and the people of his State have been inharmonious for over a year. At one time the dissatisfaction of the people took the shape of serious charges against the Executive, and there were pronounc ed rumors of articles of impeachment being likely to be preferred. The long absence of the Governor from the State, also, was made an excuso for complaints by many who were ready enough for any such occasion. Latterly, however, what ever may have been the condition of af fairs inside the State, the world outside has not had any information which would lead to an expectation of the step which the Governor has just taken. The Louisville Ledger of the 3d inst. has the following dispatch from Wash ington, the 2d: Governor Bullock in Bad Odor witli Kis Own Friends. Governor Bullock doesn’t seem to be m6eting with any greater encouragement at the hands of the Republicans in New York than be did here. While in con versation with a distinguished Republi can Senator of this city, a few days since, he said that he was about to resign, in order to escape the persecutions of his enemies. The reply made to him was that, if he was innocent, he would have nothing to fear, and especially with the national administration to back him and to afford him both protection and redress. By fleeing from justice Bullock has dis gusted what few influential friends he had here, and his conduct since his cow ardly abdication has convinced the most skeptical that he is guilty of all the charges preferred against him by the in dignant people of Georgia. YVhatever is done with Bullock, it may safely be asserted that he will receive neither aid nor comfort from this quarter. £=3r“ Nearly all the law books in Chica go have been burned. K®, “Our Runaway Governor”—Sa vannah Advertiser. E®, Strikes among the working-class of Georgia have become as regular as clock-work—that is, they “strike” every hour. £3“‘ The Savannah News says: “ It is thought, iu well-informed circles, that Bullock has now ‘the largest aggregate circulation.’ ” Well, it does lie between him aud Brigham Young. The Herald i notice of the fact of Sherman’s proposed visit to Europe, says, “ he will be a grand old lion among the Moltkes and MacMahons.” But he will be a greater lion among the Petro- leuse of the Commune.
