THE ATLANTA WEEKLY SUN.
THE DAILY
Tuesday Mousing
The PtsbSic Printing.
In our last issue we imblished the Sen
ate. Bill, which proposes to give the pub
lic printing to the lowest bidder. The
measure nr.-ets our unqualified approval,
and we hope the General Assembly will
give it their .sanction. Thefairness (f the
proposition cannot he denied, and he who
gives it any opposition, it seems to us,
publicly puts himself against retrench
ment!. The Bill, as it stands, means busi
ness, and is right in principle. Let the
man who will do the work cheapest, and
who {can give the bond, have the con
tract. Wo want retrenchment ia the
public expense, and this is one royal path
way to it. Let the bill become a law
speedily.
Mr. Page.
The- Sheriff of Sumter county has
been hero hunting for Mr. Page, but
failed to find him. He has ceased to try
to. draw pay and is trying to hide.
For Governor.
Wo- notice that Gen. Gordon, Gen.
Golquitt, Gen. Wofford, Judge Worrell
and Dr. N. L. Angler ore recommended
for the qffico of Governor at the special
election soon to take place.
Hon. A. D. NuDually is warmly urged
by many who admire his talents and in
tegrity. ,
Hon. C. B. Wooten is also spoken of,
and earnestly nrged by warm friends.
It is charged rhund that the friends of
cx-Governor Brown, are manipulating to
have such a man as they like, chosen to
fill Bullock’s unexpired term, and then
leave Brown ta succeed at the regular
election next fall.

Wicked Itnmorn.
A persistent tSfcrt has been made for
some time, by a few wicked conspirators,
to frighten the Legislature into the adop
tion of such measures as unscrupulous
plunderers desire, by keeping the air full
of rumors of martial law. The Consti
tution has been entrapped into this snare,
to the extent of giving currency to the ru
mors, publishing the the dispatches, &c.,
of the schemers. Last evening, the city
was wild with an exciting report that
Judge Conley (who claims to be Governor)
had received a dispatch that martial law
over the whole State had been declared,
and Henry G. Cole appointed military
Governor.
These wild reports are, no doubt, the
manipulations of Foster Blodgett, Bufus
B. Bullock, and such like, and are part
of a scheme of theirs to keep the State
under the control of the Radicals, get
Blodgett into a seat in the United States
Senate, and prevent any investigation
into the conduct of Bullock, Blodgett,
Kimball &Co.
That’s what’s the matter—so it seems
to us. We venture this opinion, any
way. Capt. Blodgett thinks he is cer
tain of being udmitted to a seat in the
Spnate.
CA'o«-'» Shtlrli «n<l Smiling Foct>9.
Yesterday the members of the Legisla
ture appeared in clean shirts and smiling
faces—the latter feature encouraging to
to candidates, plenty of whom were on
hand. Our friend Burke was specially
active. As a lobbyist, he is a success.
Bnrke has had a couple of bites at the
apple, and finds it so luscious and pala
table that he wants another big bite.
The truth is, when a man gets in the
habit of pulling at fat things, it is hard
to pull him off. He is, perhaps, the most
honored of any man in Georgia, so far as
lucrative positions are concerned. He
conducts the Secretaryship of the Cotton
States Life Insurance Company, runs the
Masonic Insurance Company of Georgia,
is the manager of the largest printing
establishment iu the State, and has a fin
ger in other good things—all of which
pay him good salaries.
SUN. | THJE CAPITOL.
.November 7 I Viewed from the gallery, the members
=s J of the House appear to be most familiarly
at home. They lean back in their seats
and throw their feet across their desks as
naturally as though each were a bom
representative of the habits and inclina
tions of his species. But this is only an
observation en passant.
Both branches of the Assembly me
andered along the even tenor of legisla
tive ways yesterday, nothing occurring to
cast a ripple upon the surface of the pla
cidity of the proceedings. A great deal
of plain business was introduced. Many
of the bills were only of local interest,
while some were of general, but of no
special political interest.
Both Houses passed a resolution deny
ing the charges bronght against the
members by the recent letter of Gover
nor Bullock. This was in justice to all
concerned and ought, honestly, to have
had the vote of every legislator regard
less of politics, though we observe that
the Radicals generally voted against it.—
It is certain, however, that the resolution
expresses nothing that is not justified by
facts, and if, as Senator Brock asserted,
there is lawlessness in his district, Camp
bell might havo asserted that there has
been high-handed lawlessness in his—
lawlessness, iu fact, which came near
creating a breach of good feeling
between the British and American
Governments. The readers of The Sim
remember, perhaps, the incident to which
we refer, in which a negro Notary Public
and Ex-Officio Justice of the Peace, as
sumed the high functions of a Vice Ad
miralty’s Court, took possession of a
British vessel, and came very near mak
ing an international affair of it, by his
little piece of lawlessness. But neither
this instance, nor that related by
Senator Brock, of his District, are
proofs that the people of Georgia
are lawless. On the contrary, the
proof is that they respect and obey the
laws of the United States, and, as a
class, have a high regard for Great Brit
ain, and do not sustain the insult offered
the British flag by a negro Justice of
the Peace, holding office in this State.
Therefore, we say, the resolution was
eminently proper, and ought to have
been passed without a vote in opposi
tion.
Mr. Jackson, of this county, moved a
State Road investigation. That was a
good move. The management of the
Road for several months prior to the
lease, savors strongly of “ways that are
dark and tricks that are vain,” and a com
mittee of good and discreet men could
possibly ascertain a very proper answer
io the great popular question of what be
came of the money ? At any rate, the
public will never be satisfied until an in
vestigation shall have been had. So let it
proceed.
know. A man can live anywhere in
Georgia, ho matter what his political
opinions are. A few years ago men did
come to Atlanta with the plea of politi
cal persecution upon their lips. They
were impecunious, and knew that the
spoils of victory were to be distributed.
The State Roadnvas made a vast infirmary,
into which all such men were crowded,
regardless of fitness. Among those who
came and bellowed most loudly of his
persecutions, was the well known Dr. J.
E. Blount. He had a harrowing tale to
tell, that actually made tbe flesh creep
upon one’s back to hear it. As evidence
of how true the tale was, it is only neces
sary to State that Dr. Blount is now the
unmolested Judge of a district court, in
the very section of the State, from which
he had to “fly for his life,” because of
his politics. The other cases will fall,
just as this one does, if brought to the
test.

gg=* The Memphis Daily Press thinks
the “great fires in Chicago and Michigan
have done more to eradicate the bitter
prejudices engendered by the late war
than all the working and loud declama
tions of philanthropic politicians.” Why
so? There has been no report that many
prominent Radical politicians were
burned iu the fires.

Editors Daily Sun : To fill the high and

give more general satisfaction than Hon.

“Our Republican neighbor gets redin the

Harris, of the Savannah News,
says: “Watson, of The Atlanta Sun,
wants to know “what sort of a ‘dodge’ is
it on the part of Savannah that induces
her to remain twenty years slow ?’ It is
no dodge at all. It is simply the result
of honesty.” If that be true, then all
must admit that that kind of “honesty
is” not always “the best policy.”
B@=> The following poem is from Apple-
ton's Journal of the 11th. We have two
reasons for traasferring it to this column.
The first is, the intrinsic merits of the
production; and the other is, our friend
ship for the author, whom the writer of
this has known from early boyhood. The
poem ranks above the mediocre classifi
cation of “clever.” It is of a class in
which it is difficult to excel—that of the
purely ideal; hut the author has made
his meaning so sufficiently clear that tbe
mysticism which hangs about the poem
is one of its neatest charms.* We do not
know that the writer has very frequently
“sethis thoughts to numbers.” If he
has not, he should, if he is able to sus
tain the standard of the following:
THE MYSTIC TEMPLE.
Far down in the shadowy valley.
Where the spirits and phantom-shades loom,
Stands a weird, fantastical temple
In the mystical midnight and gloom.
It sends forth a purple-like lustre,
Poured out from its porphyry halls
Abroad through the blue-litten windows,
Set in its adamant walls.
And the legion of musical zephyrs
That throng through its wide-open door,
Go out with incense and starlight
Through Life to Eternity’s shore. .
'Tis said, by people who’ve witnessed
Its soft candelabrian light,
There’s a sanctified Spirit that frequents
This labyrinth temple at night.
He comes in the silence of midnight,
When the moon has begun its decline,
And lights with the essence of noontide
The cresset that hangs o'er the shrine.
There’s none of its radiance that slumbers
In the midst of the draperies’ fold:
It goes upward, straight through the skylight,
AU tinted with purple and gold.
The voice of his footsteps awakens,
Far up in the vibrating dome.
Sweet echoes that never cease sounding
This side of their heavenly home.
. When the Spirit has finished his mission
.And passed from the siU of the door,
A demon comes up from the cloisters
And quenches the light evermore.
The walls of the temple may crumble.
And the light on the turrets may die—
But a lamp on the altar is gleaming,
That’s again to be lighted on high.

day afternoon, says the Macon Telegraph
of "Saturday, Miss Lizzie Woodal, a mil
liner and dress-maker on Cotton Avenue,

an insensible condition, with a vial by
her side containing a small quantity of
morphine. Upoli examination, it was

tity of tbe deadly k poison. Ata late hour

her physicians entertaining no hope of
her recovery.
The Americus Republican says: Sheriff
Bosworth, who went to Atlanta Monday
night to arrest Page,—the murderer of
Wm. Miller—returned to the city Thurs
day night alone, Page having succeeded
in dodging him in Atlanta. His name
appears in the list of those who have
been sworn in as Representatives, and is
evidence that our worthy Sheriff has been
out-generaled.
The New York telegraphic correspon.
dence of the Savannah Advertiser, of
Sunday, has the following item, of inter
est to the Atlanta folks:
George S. Cobb, the alleged express
defaulter, whose case attracted so much
attention about three months ago, is con
fined in Ludlow street jail. Cobb says
that criminal proceedings were first in
stituted against him in Georgia, hut
the grand jury there refused to find
an indictment. He was then decoyed
to New York under pretense that busi
ness of importance demanded his atten
tion there, and immediately on his ar
rival was arrested on a civil suit
He says that the decoy-man, one of his
best friends, was E. S~ Mitchell, cashier
of the conipany in Atlanta, who purchas
ed him bis ticket, and brought him a
bottle of brandy to the cars. The only
other official of the company in Atlanta,
Mr. Coulter, stood on the platform and
saw him getting ou board the cars.—
Neither has been allowed to testify, but
the assistant superintendent of the com
pany, who was in Tennessee when he
left, makes affidavit that he did not know
lie was leaving. Cobb claims that he is
being persecuted at the instance of one
O’Brien, who is his personal enemy, and
that he is held on ex parte evidence.—
Cobb is anxious to have his case trans
ferred to Georgia, where he claims he
could get a trial inside of a month. He
says he has no property, but his bonds
men are responsible.

Another Compliment to Dr.
Angler.
To Dr. Angier the people of Georgia owe
a debt of gratitude. His manly resist
ance to the plundering hordes who as
sailed the Treasury, his unceasing vigi
lance in guarding it, are matters of his
tory, and familiar to every intelligent
citizen of the State. Ho could neither
be intimidated, or bribed, or cajoled.—
He thwarted them in their bold, nefarious
schemes of robbery, and it is no exag

ions of dollars!
The Boston Post says “Brigham

tinues fleeing.
The New York Tribune in a re
cent editorial article, has this' sentence:
“The Congress Committee in Georgia
have satisfactorily ascertained the fact
that over two thousand persons have
been driven into Atlanta from the out
lying country.” The meaning intended
to be conveyed in this is, that “over two
thousand persons have been driven into
Atlanta” from other portions of the
State, to escape ostracism and oppression
for opinion’s sake, which is not true, as

These men, who have grown so sud

"Because you flourish in worldly affairs,
Don’t be haughty and put on airs.
With insoient pride of station;
Don’t bo proud and turn up your nose
At poorer people in plainer clothes;
But learn, for tho Bake of your mind’s repose.
That wealth’s a bubble that comes and goes!
And that all proud flesh, wherever it grows,
Is subject to irritation."

A RARE OPPORTUNITY FOR INVEST
MENT.
Tlie Tammany Ring.
New Yoke, October 30, 1871.
Editors Atlanta Sun : I suppose most
newspaper readers, including all sorts of
politicians, are more or less interested in
the reports about the New York Ring,
and the legal proceedings against the
members of the so-called “ring.”
To write a history of the New York
Ring would require more space than a
newspaper could afford. I, therefore,
propose only to furnish your readers with
some of the more prominent points of
its political and personal character.
First, the New York Ring is the off
spring of a certain kind, of social cor
ruption, which results in fermentation.
The elements producing this corruption,
when operating directly on the baser and
weaker parts of human nature, are gen
erally attended with similar results in all
ages of civilization. These elements may
be stated thus: Excessive prosperity, un
seasoned by “the sweet uses of adversity;”
a reckless disregard for those laws of mor
ality, which form the prime necessity of
successful civilization; and a worse than
opium eater’s passion for the “root of all
evil.” In suck. a state of things, in such
an atmosphere, a
CONNOLLY OB A TWEED
is born and engendered. Such men as
naturally take to the public crib as rats
to your corn crib. The cribs should be
so constructed and so guarded as not to
invite their inroads. But such care
has not been exercised in New
York. So far from this, the present city
charter under which the people have
been plundered, would seem to have been
drawn by thieves for the benefit of
thieves. Politically speaking, I cannot
perceive that one party has been worse
than the other in batching commissions
and schemes of plunder and robbery.
Certain it is, in the Legislature, if the
New York Ring wanted a sound Repub
lican, they knew where to find him and
what price to pay for him.
But, at last, this festering sore on the
body politic, has bursted, and floods of
corruption are flowing from its fatal
surface. Tweed had long been flaunt
ing his ill-gotton millions in the faces of
the miserable people who had permitted
him to rob them. Some of tbe gutter
snipes call him Caesar, with their usual
contempt for analysis and com
parison. Tweed is, in no way, even
a vulgar imitation of Julius Caesar.—
Caesar was of a grand and lofty type, dis
tinguished in the field and in the fornm;
bnt Tweed is distinguished mostly for
impudence and greed. Indeed, his im
pudence is rather of a modern type, and
bears the stamp of a rascally originality.
I now quote from tbe records, as pub
lished in the Tribune, of tbe 25th insfc,:
“On October 1, 1861, Mr. Tweed was
discharged, by Judge Barnard, from his
debts and from imprisonment as a bank
rupt.” In 1868 Tweed commenced pur
chasing real estate in the city. In 1871
his real estate, in value, is published at
$6,994,954.
In 1861, Mr. Tweed was chairman of
the “ring” Board of Supervisors—made
by a Republican Legislature, and com
posed of six Republicans and six Demo
crats, so-called.
This loyal body was in power dnring
the war on the Southern States. It was
unquestionably “ truly loyal,” and loyal
ty was profitable, so-called. That is to
say, it payed. They ran the “ big shan-
tee” in the City Hall Park, and all the
other thousand shantees in the city,
where all sorts of men, from all sorts of
dens and prisons, nolens volens, were loy
ally sent to the front for one thousand dol
lars per head—but the head didn’t get
much of the thousand dollars ! It is here,
as I supposed, Mr. Tweed mode his big
start, which enabled him to go into the
purchase of real estate.
In 1865 Richard B. Connolly, at this
time quasi Comptroller, was sued by
Henry D. Felter for a liquor bill; and
he then swore in court that he owned
no' property at all. Shortly after
this he was nominated and
elected Comptroller by Tammany Hall,
