the ATLANTA HUN DAILY AND'WtkKLY. THK Sl’N PUBLISHING CO. Son. A. H. POLITICAL Stephens, EDITOR. WEEKLY VOL. tv. no. 21 rUK CAPtr«L(itE«TIUI. The Chronicle and Sentinel does not seem willing to give The Sun full credit for acknowledging candid ly that we were in error in regard t« the v<»te ut Fulton county on the question of the removal of the State Capitol from Milledgeville. The writer of the articles in this paper on that question was, like many other intelligent geath-men, under the con viction that Fulton comity did vote against 1 tne removal ol the Capitol. Be that as it mav, none know better thi n the Chronicle and Sentinel that there is not a city or town in Georgia tbal would trot have secured the Capitol if by the votes of the citizens it could have done so. Atlanta took no nndue means to do so; but, with great liberality, did do all she could to invite the removal to her own limits. Augusta would have done the same; and all this “sound and fury, signifying nothing” against the people of Atlanta, amounts to noth iug when this fact is presented. But the Chronicle and Sentinel does “not believe the Capitol should have been removed from Milledgeville, and that the Booner it is carried back to its former location the betUr it will be for the State and its people, ’ and be lieves “that these are the sentiments of a large majority ot the people of Georgia, and that if the question should be submitted to a vote, they would make their wishes known in a manner which could not be misunder stood.” The question as to whether the Capitol ought to have been removed or not, is one that belongs to the people. If they are of the opinion of the Chronice and Sentinel, they have the right and the power to ex press that opinion at the ballot-box and through their representatives in the Legislature. Jt .they desire the Capitol returned to Milledgeville it ought to be and will be done in spite of Atlanta or any other city or town, and none will yield more readily or gracetully to the will of the people of the State than the people of Atlanta, who have been censured in such strong terms by certain newspaper writers. It ti e people really desire the Capi tol carried back to Milledgeville why do they not say so, and make the issue in the State elections and in the se lection of their representatives? That is Gie right way of enforcing their will. Our opinion is, that the senti ment in favor of such removal is so weak that it finds no expression ex cept in a lew dissatisfied journals and politicians who merely desire some sort of hobby to satisfy their own garrulous propensities.

Ihe Oral number for May, haa just come under our notice. We have perused it with interest and take pleasure in calling attention to it The work, as it professes, is “de voted to the diffusion of Health— preserving knowledge among the peo ple. to true science and progress.” The articles in the present number are: I. Popular Medical Errors. II. We take the good when we FIND IT. III. Food for Brain Workers IV. Accidents and emergen cies. V. The Turkish Bath. VI. Atlanta as a Health Re sort. VII. The Genus Oyer-Eater. VIII. Purgatives and Liver Medicines. IX How SHALL THE PEOPLE OB TAIN Medical Knowledge? X. Atlanta Business Review. XI. Editorial Notes and No tices. These articles are all original. In article III the author combats the usually reserved opinions. It. article X he gives a very extensive Review of the various Business establish ments and enterprises in the city of Atlanta—which forms an interesting feature in his publication. The price of a single copy of the May number is 30 cents—postage free—that is the inclosure to the au thor of 30 cents will secure a copy being sent by mail with postage paid. The price of the two succeeding numbers for tin* current vear will be 50 cents per copy—sent in the same wav. All letters on the subject should be directed to the Editor, “ Dr. John Btuiubwok Wilson, M.

II. S. at one time that the invasion of the Southern soil by so many Northern and Western Governors and Con gressmen would have had the effect of ‘firing the Southern heart’ and setting aglow the uving embers of the late war.” The Herald speaks thus kindly |of the Southern people: I Tn«- Bootborn representative m«- n hutu g | whom these distinguished strangers niiu- I gl«*i odIv vied witu each other iu extend ing to their guests tlmee warm and «eniat hosiutalit.es, for woioh Hie Soi.tlinru «>»■<> ide arc, in times o 1 peae , so pr<>verontl Long mav the reiga ot peaoea-id harmo tiion-i feeiingexist between tb< N rth an-1 theBou’b, and the irena of politics in the latter aectioo present no mvre dis turbing features thaw ii does ut present. The main, and perhaps the or.lv feature iu politics that particularly interests the people of the South ts, How can we best preserve good gov ernment and perpetuate the liberties of the people. Southern hospilali- ty is pure and genuiue. They mean to show by their acts a desire for peace with all sections of the Union. They desire to see the government honestly administered for the benefit of ihe people of all the States alike. Every good Southern man responds to the sentiment of the Herald, con tained iu the last clause of the para graph quoted, with fervent heart; and if the “the reign of peace and harmo nious feeling” does not exist, it will not be the fault of the Southern people. UKOHGIS'S gDO'A OF ABMS-COK- HErTIUN. ■ We fell into error yesterday in our brief reference to the quota of arms now due the State or’ Georgia, which we hasten to correct. An Act passed by Congress in March lust does provide for the dis tribution of arms to such States as did not, from the year 18G2 to the year I860, receive the same—“pro vided, that in the organization and equipment of military companies and organizations with sa>d arms, no discrimination shall be made between said companies and organizations on account of race, color, or fi rmer con. dition of servitude.” Copies of the Act of Congress have been sent to the Governors of the States referred to above; and they have a ! so been notitied by the United States Chief of Ordnance that all requisitions must be accompanied KUO words. We feel much gratified at the mauv kind references made of the writer of this article by members of the press recently. If, in the discoarge of his duties as a journalist, he has always endeavored to be courteous to his brethren of the press in the dis cussion of all public questions, he ieels amply repaid by these kind words. Our attachment to the members of the press is very strong, even amount ing to what may be termed clannish ness. We feel a great pride in being a member of a profession, the mission ol which is the highest known to civil life. For the great gcod and advance ment of civilization, and the cause of mankind generally, we should all work together as brothers, and feel toward each other as brothers. THE SAWVEK-HAHPIOK PRESS. Col. B. F. Sawyer, of the Rome Courier, paid us a call yesterday, and we had the pleasure of seeing well executed drawings of his new print ing press recently invented by him self. Up to the present time we have entertained doubts as to the success of his invention for the reason that so many attempts to invent a print ing machine that would print both sides of a sheet at one operation have ended in failures We now think Col. Sawyer’s invention a success, and we shall heartily rtjoice if it proves to be so. If sue jessfn 1 , this invention will prove a great triumph for the inven tive genius of the South, which has by a statement, showing th* character | been so unjustly depreciated in public “Til IC UV ION HUNT UK PH KsKlt VMl."

The above article was doubtless prompted by an edkorial a few days ago in regard to B.W. Buthr, pub lished iu The Sun. According toj the above, it will be seen that thei quotation which is historic as well as popular, is almost universally mis quoted. “ Democracy.”—The Memphis Avalanche says “ there is something about the name ‘Democracy’ as ap plied to a political party, that kills whatever it touches.” Some how or other, alter being repudiated tv the —- , ■ ... - . . .. “ Democracy,” the Avalanche finds it | for sifter the first day of July.’ more “things ’ in Atlanta than in SOMMER FAKHIOMS.

That ia a very proper form of question. It is better to talk in a future tense us well as sense. Some perrons have s-ud and some have written that sumner is upon us — sum mer with its load thunders, its great heat, bright skies and glorious suns. Nothing of the sort. The wish has betn father to the thought. But in these cool dajs, floppy streets and gray dnazle, we can’t fird summer. We have a right to expect that the great -un-god will make himself known Defore many days, and that we shall all oow be fore Liin; so we will answer the quection .with a full hope of its coming out all right in the end. Bnelly. we are going to wear very few colors. Tue prevailing idea is quiet tones —browns in all shadee, drabs, and hjre aud there a green or a pink; but so qual ified as to be scarce out of the line of ueu iral tints. Even wedding and gala dresses affect great moderation of hue. At a wedding reception this week, where all of the gu sta were of the best society, here was not one dress in the great rooms, except those of the bride and her attendants, which was not a neutral tint —nothing decided. I' I were chemist or optician I could explain how neutral tints are made up of I'lars, white, red and green, until between pure white and deep black, there are 157 different shades. But L am not, and so i bay “pass !” There is plenty of room to invent new names iu the number men tinned. Von may change, you may alter the name If you will; But back, browner gray, the dree* remains still. As for mater.al, the choice is still un- limitui—light silks, greuad’uea, batistes, foulaid, cambric, and unbleached linens. The pr tty cretonnes, which made the *’ reels and public assemblies, concert rooms and opera so gay, will he seen no more. Quiet, sober, sedate, quaker-iike iFsemblages will they be, the only variety being in the trimming or the m ike up. The only approach to displa will be in a contrast of color between the dress auo overskirt, or between the dress aud trim- tniug. Thus a gray may be trimmed wHh folds of the same color and mate rial, edges corded with black, large b;ack buttons, and black sash, or light drab can be irimmed with same material, two shades darker. The trimming may be so elaborate as to entirely overlay and conceal the origi ual garn.ent, but the style oi trimming is flat and uuiform, while there is a manl iest preference towards narrow, closi- skirts without any fullness in front, winch replaces the expansive and spread ing 8*1 that lately prevailed. Out ele gant dress, at a leading modiste’s, was n a shade of fawn color, made plain in front with very little fullness in under skirt, but elaoorately trimmed m two shades with flat folds laid on in vandykt- s jle all over the skirt. The basque is plain with a vest of darker shade; coat sleeves with deep revers, same shade as vest and edged with trimming.

There are no snn- shades tnis summer. Last year’we bad little i its of suushades, just small enough to cover the postage stamp hats. Next— as we are nothing if not extreme—we have been raising a crop of nmbrellas, fitted on sticks aud canes, knotted au-t chubby enough to intimidate a footpad or fell a “corner statue.” Now we re turn to our hrst and best estate; we have parasols in &L colors, fitted on dainty sucks, ernes, variegated wood, or neatly carved with Russian leather, while the handles aie in hern, agate enamel, ivory, orydized silver, or we uiay add, jewel encrusted, if we hap pen to meet a lionne. They are good sized, u-eful articles that will not only save the complexion of our beauties Irom the kiss of a too ardeu Phoebus, but also save their dainty tex tures in a shower. Hence the pretty word “showere s.” Oxydized silver reminds one that the article is most important in fashion. Everyb dy tuat is anybody wears oxydized silver. It is good for bel nuckles which are worn benind two large plates, round, square oval, chased witu nead of lion, tiger, <agle, owl, or with floral devices and emblems.

It remains to be seen whether the Governors of the States entitled to the arms will make application for them at all. Our own State Legis lature, for example, has prescribed one rule of distribution, while the act of Congress Jays down another and a different rule.

The North Adams, Mass., Transcript make* a curious revelation in regard to the corrupt *ueanB employed, as it alleges, to rltf> at Colfax iu the Philadelphia Con vention and st?cure the nomination of the present Vice President. Its story is that Sylvander Johnson, of North Adams, was elect-d a delegate to the National Con vention, and wus accompanied to that as sembly by a noted Massachusetts politi cian named Tinker, an internal revenue collector. They found in the course of the canvass that Colfax would be nomi- uated, unless some desperate scheme was adopted, and about the same time they discovered a Southern delegation who were for salt*. linker opened negotia tions at once with the louder of the dele gation, ascertained the price for himself and the rest, collected the money from Wilson 8 friends, and, with his own hands, paid the cash to the leader of tne delega tion. When the proper time came, this put chased leader rose and cast the vote of his State for Wilson, which decided the contest and secured the defeat of Col fax. The Transcript says that after the Convention Tinker told this story to sev eral persons ill North Adams, and that Johnson enlarged upon the immense cun ning they had displayed in the transac cion. It is said that Mr. Wilson did not know of it. Crap Items. We have nothing from Louisiana this week, consequently we suppose net crops are getting along all right.

New York, May 31.—A letter to the Tribune ol the 8tu says the diplomatic career of Governor Orr came to a painful end before it was fairly begun. It is not quite two mouths since he arrived in St. Petersburg and presented his credentials to the Emperor. He was suffering at times from severe cold, contracted during lna Atlantic passage, and about a wjeek alter bis formal installment in his new office he was forced to take to hri bed. From that day he did not leave his apart ments. Cold settled on his lungs and afterwards passed to bis liver, so that his blood became seriously affected. No serious result was apprehended, however, . and on Friday, four days before he died, bis friends thought he was slowly yet aleadily improving, but on Monday last the last change came aud he died quite suddenly at 2 o’clock. The funeral services were celebrated to-day at the chapel of the English American So ciety. There was no discourse, and the pastor simply read the impressive ritual of the Church of England and dosed with a short prayer.
