8 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. *-e-< 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. SUIN'-STROKES. O, give as back our Bullock, From hoof to horns complete— He’s fattened at our public crib. And now ho is our ‘•meat.’* “Bullock shambles out of office as Governor of Georgia.”—Boston Post. New York votes to-day, and ends , the reign of Tammany. JBSF* “Thiers is going directly to Rouen.”—Boston Post. So is his repub lic. For Governor. Editors Daily Sun : To fill the high and responsible position of Governor, no one can be found who would, at this time, give more general satisfaction than Hon. James M. Smith,, the Speaker of the House. He is a gentleman of marked ability, strict integrity and undoubted patriotism. He is eligible to the office, The Boston Post says “Warsaw is removed to South Carolina.” But where is “Warsaw’s last Champion ? ” The Washington Chronicle says : “Our Republican neighbor gets redin the face.” Then the neighbor is better off than the Chronicle, since the latter never gets read at all. Grant offers his Seneca stock for sale. He found so many sermons in those stones that he was constrained to do “ works meet for repentance.” 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. Burgess Smith. day afternoon, says the Macon Telegraph of "Saturday, Miss Lizzie Woodal, a mil liner and dress-maker on Cotton Avenue, as found lying on a bed in her room in an insensible condition, with a vial by her side containing a small quantity of morphine. Upoli examination, it was found that she had taken a large quan tity of tbe deadly k poison. Ata late hour last night her condition was very critical, 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. NEW YORK CORRESPON DENCE. An exchange reports “two oranges growing ou a lilac bush in Detroit.” It is plain that those Michigan fires did not do their whole duty, as one immense liar is still left. JUSy^Governor Palmer, of Illinois, pro poses to get after Phil Sheridan for the murder of Gen. Grosvenor. It is pos sible that Sheridan will find out that Grosvenor was not a Piegan. jggy-The Louisvile Ledger says the Cin- iotwithstanding the objections of some cinnati Enquirer “wants to enlist as to- that effect. The State Constitution Tom Scott’s train.”- provides, that no member of the Legisla ture shall be appointed by the Governor or elected by die Legislature to any office du ring the time for which he is elected, but there is no provision against an elec tion by the people, of any member of the Legislature to any office. _So it will be seen that Mr. Smith is eligible to any effioe which the people might see proper io bestow upon him. If elected Gover nor, he will administer the affairs of the State- with rigid economy and for the people of Georgia. He is above ‘ ‘rings, cliques or combinations. “ Ebastus.” When it gets the position, perhaps it will be fortunate enonghto catch the Georgia Bollock and ship him home. 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 geration to say that he saved the State mil- ions of dollars! The Boston Post says “Brigham Yoong has not left liis reason or his pru dence behind him in his flight.” Of course not, he had them about him when he commenoed his flight, and it is sup posed they are still with him as he con 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 STATE MATTERS. “Many Citizens” of Macon have beat en the bush until they have “flushed” Hon. Clifford Anderson for Governor." Two telegraph operators, named Me Cormick and Nichols, in the employ of the Southern and Atlantic Telegraph Company, at Savannah, eloped with $1,500, belonging to the Company, Sat urday night. Augusta performed the remarkable feat of capturing a pickpocket the other day. E. F. Pillsbnry and G. B. William, of Savannah, Lave been arrested by the United States Marshal, for connection with custom-house frauds. T. B. Marshall, of Savannah, has been arrested for complicity with the Kryzanowski frauds. The Cuthbert Appeal cries aloud, “Col. Herbert Fielder, for Governor.” “A ‘soiled dove’ on a plain drank, was the latest vision of the Americas Republican. The passenger train, says the Sun, which left Columbus Friday, at 2 p. m. owing to a safety rail being loose, jumped the track at Blackman’s Crossing, near Seale Station, Alabama. The engine was precipitated down an embankment. The engineer, Mr. James Curry, one of the most skilled and careful on the road, had three or four ribs broken. Mr. Da vidson. the fireman, was killed instantly. Mr. Jones Doras, the wood passer, was badly hurt. One passenger received slight injuries. The express ear was dam- aged. The remainder of the cars were bronght back to the city by the 5 a. m gravel train yesterday. The Rome Commercial says: The agent of the Associated Press in Atlanta is an exceedingly careless man. The only report he has furnished during the three days the Legislature has been in session was: “Both branches of the Gen eral Assembly have organized and ad joumed over until to-morrow.” Some thing ought to be done for Liny men of all politics in Atlanta very well ^ • At about half-past five o’clock jester as a matter and a man of practical expe-1 diency—which expediency has since been 1 practically developed. In 1868 Connolly commenced the pur chase of real estate. Iu 1871 his real estate foots up $2,300,691. He is, also, credited with registered bonds iu Wash ington amounting to $4,000,000. Con nolly was born in C-ork, and very early m life earned and owned the soubriquet of “Slippery Dick.” HALL, SWEENY, AND OTHEKS, haring taken up so much of your space already, I shall, at present, say nothing about Mr. Hall and Mr. Sweeny, the oth er two ostensible heads of the so-called ring. Mr. Sweeny has been compara tively moderate, as he is only worth about a million and a half. Hall Las been friv olous and negligent—no more. CHAKLES O’CONOB has been especially employed and ap pointed to prosecute public peculators and malefactors. The character of Mr. O’Conor : s widely known. He is a man at once impartial and stern. Impelled by a high sense of duty, armed with the terrible baton, of Public Justice, repre senting the will and the purpose of the people, woe, woe to the guilty, whoever he may he! These men, who have grown so sud denly rich by such infamous means, may suddenly realize the following quaint poetry from a quaint poet, John G. Saxe: "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!

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, Fine Flouring Mills For Sale.
