THE CAPITAL QUESTION
A SECOND LETTER IX FAVOR OF KEEPING
THE CAPITAL AT ATLANTA.
[Chronicle nr cl ConVtitutionnlint. 1
In :i letter published some days ago
we endeavored to show what has
since been clearly demonstrated by
tar abler writers, that Atlanta was
preferable as our capital, because of
< coiwtn;/ • also that it was unreasona
ble to suppose that, glte would ever
attempt to repudiate her offer, since
to do so would effectually rob her of
the prize for which she is now so as
siduously working. Subsequent and
elaborate discussions of tbc subject in
both the Atlanta and the Augusta
papers, by very distinguished gentle
men of the State, determined us to
abandon the publication of our second
letter, until to-day we are in receipt
of a message from a prominent gen
tleman in another portion of the State,
asking the “ author of the first” to
redeem l.is promise by giving to the
public a so loud letter on “ Atlanta ns
our capital.” We accede to the re-
quest reluctantly, hoping that what
ever our views may lack in novelty
may b<* at least partially atoned for
by the sincerity with which they are
presented. Leaving, therefore, the
question oi economy, together with
the collateral issue of Atlanta’s prop
osition, we advance to other reasons
why Atlanta should he chosen as the
permanent seat of onr government.
It is, per sc, a more lit. place. At
lanta possesses those peculiar advan
tages, not only over Milledgcville,
but over all the cities of the Slate,
which make it best suited to the
purposes for which we would now
appropriate it,
In the earlier part of our history,
when we were yet a new State, with
out the facilities of railroads; when
Mtir commerce was small and mostly
local in its nature; when miles and
not lime measured distances between
jdaces; in short, a long time ago,
before we bad fairly entered the great
thoroughfare of trade ami become
linked in onr business relations with
the great commercial marts of the
world, .Milledgcville may have been
adopted to the necessities of our gov
ernment. I?..t now that our State
mis assumed its place alongside with
the most progressive of the Union,
Svith i:s quadrupled population, its
increased commerce, its advanced
.-ind^ growing civlization, with their
l and accumulating interests; its
ed and progressive method of
iortation and business, Millcdge-
longer suited to the exi-
s of the times. We have out-
i Miiledgeviilc and the halls of
.it hers, and mtst now respect fit
ly lay them aside, just as manlmod
resigns the at tin; of infancy to assume
the oomolior vesture of maturer
years. Away back, as far as 1851, a
committee of architects appointed by
a Legislature composed of our “ no
ble siers,’’ reported that those anti
quated halls were inadequate to the
requirements of our government.
Now the increased business oi our
Stale, with its new departments of
Agriculture and Education, its en
larged finance and the accumulative
wants of more than a quarter of a
century, absolutely demand a capital
citv which can afford facilities in the
management of the interests cf 6nr
State superior to those furnished by
Milledgcville. Such a city, I appre
hend all will admit, we have in At
lanta, our present sent of govern
inent, for it is in every essential sense,
save the one solitary and unimpor
tant exception of its geographical
situation, the centre of our great
commonwealth. In progressiveness,
in public spirit, in commerce, atfitlt
its banking facilities and its railways
reaching out in every direction and
bringing within a day’s journey of
the capital the remotest parts of the
State, it furnishes to our people a
truly representative city and one
pre-eminently tit for the headquar
ters of our government. And in
passing I may he permitted to re
mark that I cannot see why it is any
discredit to other towns and cities of
Georgia that we should have one in
onr borders greater than them all—
one more adopted in every respect to
a peculiar object. For why should
the sections of our great State seek
to dotract from each other ? It seems
to me that a broad and liberal spirit
would recognize that the glory of one
citv and section is the glory of the
entire State. They are all members
of the body politic. Each section
Las its peculiar virtues and advan
tages, and as the foot cannot say to
the hand or the eye to the ear, “ I
have need of thee,” so is it true tint
every city, town and village in the
State has its peculiar fitness, and
neither can or should desire to claim
perfect independence of the others.
1 despise that meanness of spirit, that
narrowness of philosophy, which from
envy would deny to another a virtue
which it cannot call its own.
Again, Atlanta is a more fit place
because the capital will be in a closer
and freer communication with the
people. By means of her railroads,
her telegraph, her ever watchful and
enterprising press sparing neither
money or energy, the people are
brought into the very prcsence of her
public servants, so lhat every act and
movement of the representative is, as
it were, under the eye and espionage
of his constituency.
Formerly, it was' the. custom in
Georgia to require our public servants
upon tl eir return from the capital to
give an account of their doings in the
council ! of State. And now, if, in
the lai guage of a prominent gentle
man, we '•'•retrograde half a century”
aud g< hack to the boasted halls of
our fathers, wo will, I tear, be forced
to revive this obsolete custom, how
ever u ^satisfactory it may be, or
remain largely in ignorance of what
is going oti at the headquarters of
our State. I do not say this in dis
paragement of onr aspiring village.
I admit that she,has some facilities in
this direction—that even if the capi-
nencies tainted and dishonored ? No,
the argument is but the vain and par.
tisan effusions of local politicians-
They know only .too well that the 1
corruption so often spoken of in this
connection was the corruption, not of
Atlanta, but of the Bullock admin
istration—a foul and loathsome dis
ease, which was confined to no par
ticular locality, but which permeated
and sickened* our entire Common
wealth. Neither Savannah, Macon,
Augusta or Miiledgeviilc escaped the
fatal scourge. Nor did they, I ap
prehend, contribute less of the tnato-
i ial which made up that administra
tion than did Atlanta herself. The
latter city* only because it was the
seat of government became the point
at which most of this political cor
ruption centred and festered. I can
not, therefore, but deem it as ungra
cious as it is unjust for those cities

tal he removed we may by means of l which furnished the principal actors I
her weekly journals occasionally
learn something from the seat of
government, hut the difference in this
regard between Atlanta and Jfil-
ledyeviile is so broad that the admis
sion does not perceptibly lessen the
weight of our argument.
Atlanta is more fit, too, because it
is a large and self-sustaining place.
Every department of trade is fixed
and continuous, being totally inde-
pendeir, of the petty patronage it
receives from the yearly contributions
of the capital. Whereas, in a small
town li ve Milledgcville, it is different.
The season of its principal business
being short, and the time of its pro
fits limited, the purchaser—the con
sumer at the capital—must account
for the difference. I cite barely one
instance. Suppose Milledgcville, in
caso of the removal, 1 should find a
capitalist, as she promises to do,
who would build a hotel to accom
modate the seat of government. Does
not the very fact that it is not there
now prove that its •proprietor will
look for his profits alone from the
forty days’ term of the legislature.
And thyre being no healthful compe
tition a; in larger cities, would it be
uureasf nable to expect the sagacious
propric i r to “make hay while the
sun shines?” Just so with every
oilier matter of expense connected
with tli i seat of government. When
a capital makes the place and not
the place the capital, you raise up an
army o:‘government suckers, who ply
their trade with exclusive reference
to the fr tate House patronage. The
people are the sufferers.
It it be not too much then to hope
that the fair-minded reader is ready to
in that shameful political farce which
for four long years was enacted in
our State to now stand off aud with
pharasaical impudence hurl their
anathemas against a city which only
by chance furnished the boards—the
theatre merely in which it was en
acted. Corruption is indeginous to
no particular place. It was the men
whom usurpation and reconstruction
placed in power over as and not At
lanta who cursed the State. Nor do
I believe that the peop'.e of Georgia
are so easily imposed upon either by
the cheap harangue of the dema.
gogue or by the rhetoric of the
sentimentalist as to be deluded into
believing that a simple return to the
“hall of our fathers” will operate as
a panacea to all the evils of govern
ment.
If there he corruption in our gov
ernment and the people are sincere
in their desire for reformation let
them adopt a means which will se
cure their object. They will never
reach the difficulty by changing the
capital. The evil lies deeper than
this. Whatever demagogues may
tell you, you may as well attempt to
purity the waters of a stream by
changing its channel bed as to purify
legislation by changing the capital.
We are taught in the Book of Books
that when the wise man would change
the character of the waters lie goes to
the fountain head and seeks there to
purify the spring, in order that sweet
waters may How forth to bless and
fructify the land. Thus, too, with leg
islation, and with all human action.
If you would have it pure, you must go
to the origin ; you must penetrate the
depths of human character, and know

The law requires the taxes to be collected and
paid in by the loth of December, and it is
hereby strictly enjoined upon the Tax Collector

upon failure to make settlement within the
time prescribed by law, without a lawful excuse.
