When we Sd3' that the capital ques tion is the great issue b* fon* the peo ple of Georgia ue mean that it is one of the greatest imjs.ranee for the reason th* re is no ortjhnized or de cided opjtosili n to Ihe new const it u tion. Toe ratification of that iustru mnti. a foregone t* nciusion. The people of the {State stand almost as a solid phalanx in support of it. The oppositi n to it is so weak that it hits no tangible exi.-tenee. Bat the ques tion of the removal of the cipital is a vital question, toe one in which is iuvoKtdtle consummation of the great problem of retrenchment and reform so conspicuously the spirit and life of the new constitution Upon this question there is a differ-, erce of opinion among us, tne peo ple of tne Stale. This difference arises on the part of some from mere sectional motives, on that of others from prejudice, and on that of others Irom motives of economy to the State and the convenience of the people. Upon this latter line we have advocated Atlanta as ihe proper place for the capital. In this view of the subject we ugree with a ma jority of the most eminent and pa triotic statesman in the Stab—lour of whom have 1 tiers in this issue of The Express, Gen. Toombs, Mr. Stephens, Mr. W. M. Reese and Gen. Wofford—all of whom are gen tlemen whose motives no oue can justly question. It is a matter of regret that any spirit of acrimo y should have crept into the discuss! inn of this subject, or that a guments should be based upon such frivolous pretexts as have been presented. This we have endeavored to avoid so far as The Express is concerned. We have only snpght t > adduce such arguments for Atlanta as were based upon “facts and fig ures.” These have been given in these columns week after week until we now think every intel igent mind has come to the conclusion as to what are the real interests of the Slate in the matter. We hope none will he controlled by the aspersions which mere partisans have attempted to throw upon the people of Atlanta because the Bullock regime was or ganized in their midst by the strong arm of military power,against which they could make no resistance except through the forum of reason. If any people deserve the thanks of th£* people of Georgia for a bold fight ogain-t the usurpation and corrnp tion of the R idieal rule they are the invincible democracy of Atlanta wh<> were brave enough to oppose these while the strong hand of oppression Was at their throats and bayon< ts were present to overawe and intimi date free speech and the liberty of conscience. But what the people arc to con sider in the present discus-ion is toe convenience and economies in dis posing of the capital question. It is a matter of di.l ars and cents to them. The man ilia ti n nit, “the halls our faiheis uih,” should have no weight in its discussion. Atlanta will build anew capitol without the C"st of a single dollar to the State. We can a-k no more. Atlanta is more fitted in every respect as the capita! of the great State. She can live and prosper without being the capital. It is not necessary, as in the case oi Milledgevilte, to have the ca, iol to make her what she is. N* people should have their capi'al in a location that can he comparatively nothing without it, and for that rea son we are opposed to the expensive removal merely to make a bigger town of Mill ’dgeville. The people of Atlanta are hit lding up their own city by their own pluck and energy, and in the same spirit will build a new capitol without cost to the State. This the people understand, and the result is the popular tide in favor of Atlanta is growing stronger and stronger every day. a:.u'iYI ,en Bl, eh men as Gen. Toombs, appear. YVofford, Mr. Stephens and k I*. (r ’ 1 nM-rt. that Reese—gentlemen of the to i ewis. T-persnnal integrity, and pa- Va E. N.r'^ l a *l heir purposes—have tt y Urn question so well as they >trtortv/able of doing, say that Allans 1873, thio place foi the capital, and eridtoL o a k r E*d with on the part of a Mie fading nd iloilaniUn of the State, we think L!k>ic opinions are worthy of consid eration ar>d respect. They have no personal int -rest in the matter ex cept so far as they are interested in the welfare of the State and the pros perity of the whole people. Ret every man vote on this great Question intt lligentlv and discreetly —for upon its decision hangs in a manner, the best interests of the State. The speech of Dr. Felton on the ie eumption act last week was made in the right direction. It has attracted great attention all over the country and has given its author a national reputation. We are glad that the great fight for the p. opie has been so grandly opened by our immediate representative. It is a fight in which he will find stout hearts to sustain all over this country. For it Ihe Doctor deserves tne thanks of a long suffering and financially oppressed people. Of this speech we shall have mo.e to say hereafter. There is not a hotel in Milledge- Vijle equal to either of the CurtVßj* villi* toMs, m wc ere UiftrttrtkJ. riiuiiw is bvrtow county. It is thought that a few facts gath- ; cred at random from will known far mers in Bartow county would be worth more to practical minds than any elaborate argumentation on the profitableness of tanning. Accord ingly, the few cases out of many are here presented. Mr. R. Gaines, in Adairsville dis trict, moved a few years ago to Texas, and becoming dissuti-fled, returned and bought SII,OOO worth of land; and although now sixty veers old, in addition to a support for his family, ho sells $2,000 worth of products, making a clear profit of 20 per cent. This is a grain farm. Mr. Arthur Davis, in Cartersville di.-triet, rented land fir sever 1 years aft- r the war, and now owns real es tate worth $17,000, unin* umbered, and has money ahead beside, all of which has l>een made by farming. The proceeds of his sales off >rin pro ducts this year is from $6,000 to $7, 000. Messrs John ano Thomas Leake, in this same district, make 100 bags of cotton in addition to their sup plies, and real ze a handsome profit. Messrs. Thomas and Rule Ilend. r son in the 17 th district ma- e alx ait 100 bags of cotton with full supplies of all kinds, with perhaps a large r profit than usual. These art among our nru re thriby farmers, and nra un uptxt t tx cause they have been talked with on the subject of fanning profits. R.-al estate, which is justly regarded a- the v ry l est security, yielding such profits stands unriVi Fd as an investment. The gem ral average of profits iu farming lands in this coun ty i.i from 7to 121 per cent. Land yielding this profit can be bought on time, and industrious, thrifty men can pay for them in a few years out of its products. Many instances of this kind are wt II known, and hut for such an arrangement the parties would st 11 nave been without home?. It is better to have the money to pay for the lands, of course, but the want of money need tu t deter men of character and pluck. There are thousands of acres that can be bought and paid for out of the tillage, and all who waut homes in a genial cli mate, where labor remunerates hand somely, among quiet and orderly people, should seek here. More anon. THE COUNTY NEWSPAPER. There is no higher duty devolving upon a goud citizen than that of sup porting his local newspaper, if that paper is *rue to the material ir.ter *-.-ts and prosperity of the people among whom it is published. It is unlike any other kind of enterprise. It is the mouthpiece of public senti ment, on ail public questions, what ever may be Hie view's ot the editor for through its columns public ex pres-ion and opinion can always tie heard on such questions as are of vital import to the public welfare. It is not, however, a medium for ven'iug lierßuniJ qiitCAor }>i-i.nM(in personal interests except as such mat ter may be paid for as advertise ments. But the true mission of the local press is to adv -cate and su-tdn law and older and to aid in building up and promoting the general welfare. If its editor is true t his trust tie will h ave nothing undone to pro mote to success ail these ends with fidelity, and faithfully stand as a sen tinel on the watehtower of the peo ple’s rights and interests. For this the press deseives to be supported in a manner that will place its con ductor in it financial c< edition that will enable him to perform his du ties manfully and without embar rassment. In conclusion, no one should ex pect to pay for his county newspa per wb bout promptly paying for it in advante, for the reason that tin* publisher is compelled to pay the cash for all the material that enters into his business. It is for these rea sons we are now calling upon all w ho owe THE Express in any manner, to come forward and settle without delay. We hope that Birtovv county will send General P. M. B. Roung to the Legislature. If sent to Ihe House of Representatives Ids extended parlia mentary experience and! great per sonal popularity would, in all proba bility, cause him to be chosen Speak er of that body. G<*n ral Young has done his State good service in war and in peace—in the army of Ids country and in the Congress of the Nation —anti can he of great benefit to his State in the Legislature which is to put in motion the machinery of the new organic law. — Chronicle and Sentinel Cap!. Ed Mercer, of Atlanta, is a lucky fellow’ and a go.id fellow with al. The committee on public build ings and grounds, at VVa-hington City, elected him and Mr. McKeogh, of Memphis, t keep the rotiurant of the house of representatives. It will be remembered that Capt. Mer cer had charge of the Southern res taurant at the Centennial. Mr. S C. Trout and i;ol. Joel Branham were nominated on Satur day, the 10;h, as the Democraticcan didatts for the Legislature from Floyd county. It is a splendid lick et, and oue that will do honor to Hie county if elected. They are good Democrats, and their positions such have never been a subject of doubt. —■■ ■ - m The House of emigres- has passed the army bill. Tin* amendment al lowing fair cavalry regiments t< be recruited t> one hundred men for ettch com puny, and to be stationed in Texas, was agreed to. An amend ment limiting staff ( filcers to rank and pay of their regular army grades, was rejected. The oldest dollar in the world is Adam Dollar, p saloon keeper of Cin cinnati, Now is the t me f r ail {arsons to j pay their subscriptions for The Ex- i press, while there is money afloat. Pay up hack dues and a little in ad- I vanee. If ail will do so this will be : made the best country paper in the State. Who will be the first to re spond? Col. H. 11. Jones, of the Macon Telegraph, the special champion ot Milledgevilte, in Macon, Was defeat ed the other day in the primary elec tion for representative in the Legis ture. We regret Col. Jones’ defeat. He would have made a good repre sentative, The good people of Atlanta have been greatly villified and abused in (he discussion of toe capital question. Even such friends of that city a- Gen. Toombs, and others like him, have been set down as fools for advo cating the interests of the people, Whatever advances lire interests >! Atlanta promotes the interests of upper Georgia ; and whatever pro motes the interests of upper Georgia promotes the prosperity of our im mediate section of country, l'heie fore, we are for Atlanta as the capi tal. Listen t> no waiters on the capital question who do not sign their real names to their articles. Those who write for Atlanta are not afraid nor diiiuuuuU to thoi i- namCe. A majority of tne ablest and purest statesmen of Georgia are in favor ol Atlanta as the eanital. HON. W. 11. FELTON. llis Great Speech on the Resumption Question. Washington I). C. Nov. 15. To the Editor of The Express : Bartow county and the Seventh District, and Georgia, were honored yesterday by the great* speech of your distinguished Representative. Mr. Stephens in speaking of it said: ‘To-day lias been a field-day for Georgia.” Mr. Bell’s able speech against the Resumption act surprised even his friends. Dr. Felton’s elec irified the House. “Hon. Mr. At | kins said: “It is the best speech I have heard in the House in twenty years.” Judge Douglass crossed over from his seat, approached “the llue ribbon idiot” and said to him: “Felt >n, I have come over here to te 1 you to go ahead, keep right on, give'em lull!” The speaker rapped with his gavtl at the end of fifteen minutes, Hie tiine having expired, but Mr, House, of Tennessee, waving liis head to the speaker and with a ringing voice cried out: “I move to expend his time” Others cried, “L**t him have as long time as he wants.” There was in/ opposition and, to nse a Bartow pnrase, “the obi doctor let himself out.” Members left their seats and approached his chair to hear him, Republicans ad vanced to the edge of the Rubicon, and Chittenden, of New York, poor man! crossed it. His temerity cost him i liis scat hi lIT rebuke ; lit* was oppose*i to to the strike.- of laboring men. Labor had no right to n ake war upon capital, because capital was as necessary as labor, and >trikes were unwise and destructive to Ihe best interest of both. When these la >or combinations resorted to violence they a- served condemnation of every goo<l citizen. But it was equally wrong for capital t > conspire against labor. The financial policy of the country since 1870 has been the .result of a deliberate conspiracy of the creditor class to ruin and impov erise tin* debtor class. The act de monetizing the stiver dollar was a unjust and wickd as the famou -tnkes which has recently startled and alarmed the country. That act demonetizing silver was tlie most delihera e and inexcusable attack up on labor ever known in legisletive history. But that did not quite make New York or New England tilt* ow tiers of th ■* cotton fields of the South, aid therefore ihe block scheme of contraction had been consumated just as the wild deli rum of war was subsiding into reason : all encourage ment was withdrawn and finaneeial riwn ensued. During the war Hie bankers of New York, those anti quated Shylocks, had spent every dollar not expended in paying lor substitutes in buying United States bonds, and then they became clam orous for contraction. They cared not for the resumption of specie pay ment ; that was out a pretense. They had triumphed, and the agitation had sent down the price of labor to starvation wages. The gentleman from New Yolk (Mr. Chittenden) had said yesterday from his perch (the Clerk’s desk) that gamblers and loafers and bankrupts demand the repeal of the resumption act. The gentleman from New York must have kept a ledger, on one side of which the poor man was put, and the man who owned three or four thous and dollars in Government securities on the other side—lhe side which was grinding down the laboring man [Encouragement on the Democratic side] As soon as Mr. Chittenden heard himself referred to “in Mr. Ftlton’s remarks he crossed over to the Dem ocratic side of the House in order to near more distinctly what was said about him, and he made several at tem| ts to interpose a remark, but was not permitted to do so, as he himself gave notice yesterday that tie would not allow any interrup- j (ions. Mr. Felton went <>n with his j denunciation of the capitalist ;lass, '• addressing himself directly to Mr. ! Chittenden, who was standing in one | of the aisles on the Democrat side in j the teetli of the jests and laughter j no that side. He continued: And yet you undertake to comfort ! ihe country by telling it that ait ! these things will rigid themselves. ! Yes, 1 know these things wilt light j themselves when they have touched ! the bottomless pit of despair and of poverty. Look yonder at the storm driven-ocean ; hurricane and dark ness are upon the deep; signal-guns are tiring (very minute; ships are going 'down by the hundred ; thou -ands of precious lives are being en gulfed, and in the mid?t of all his ruin there (pointing over to Mr. Chittenden) stands the Wrecker [an outburst of laughter and applause from the Democratic side] waiting tor the boats, and assuring those in tnril of destruction that all tilings will right themseives. (Continuation of the applause on the Democratic side.] And this speech me died a re mark of that eood old man Mark A. Cooper, “Felton don’t look like Henry Clay for nothing.” YVhen Dr. Feltou ceatK*d the ova tion paid him oxut**ied anything X gVet ta\v iu a duuUfnnlve bouy # Democrats and Republican?crowded near and offered congrafulaH ms and * he at once became the leader of the j majority in Hie House on this ques-j lion. llis speech abounded in hold j invective, persuasive oratory striking earnestne-8, amt logical reasoning. ’ The Northern and Eastern Democrats and Republicans are nearly all in favor of speedy resumption. Hence they are particularly severe on Dr. Felton. The New York Tribute, taking its tone from a correspondent of that paper wliich call? the demo cratic party “nothing if not idiotic,” thus alludes to him: “Mr. Felton, ofGeotgia, must have been unfairly eclipsed in the last Congress. He emerged into full view yesterday, as the blue-ribbon idiot of the present House, and an astonished people will ask why Feiton has uot been famous b* fore” The “idiot” Kelly, of Pennsylvan ia ; the “idiot” Ewi**g, of Ohio; the “idi.t” Tucker, of Virginia, and all the I) *moer?ts, (i. e. “idiots”) nearly congratulated him on his able effort. Among toe telegrams by “the blue ribbon idi* t,” known on the Etowah is “Etowah Bill,” is the f< Rowing from tx Chiet Justice Loehrane. Baltimore, Md. N..v. 15. llon. \V. H. Felton.— -Accept my thunks tor your spin oh on resumption. If not rc ; pealed the country will he irrevocably ruined. The abas*- ot the opposition is an honor. No U*. nest man desires the odium ot their good opinions. O. A. Locurank. Sixteen thousand copies have been ordered by various members <>f Con gresw from the South and West, (I heard that eight thousand had been ordered yesteiday) and Felton prom ises to become well and favorably Itnnum throughout tilt? Country. Felton always was on the side of the people and all the machine politi cians combined can’t make them '••go back on him.” I don’t say this to help him, I don’t want to help any Congressman who needs any help—he don’t. The people can breathe a little freer in a few days. Specie resumption by law always was an unrsghious fraud to rob the poor. When the proper time arrives resumption will occur by the laws of trade, anyother laws to bring it about amount to spoliation. F. F. THE CAPITAL. “Skirmtslier’s” Opinion of the Pam pli.eta and the Reese Letter. The pamphlet sent out by the At lanta Capital Committee, or what ever committee it is, Norcross’ or Pledgers’ it may be, is such n trans parent humbug that it is only neces sary to call attention to its fraudu lent effrontery and let it roll. You published the thing last week headed “The Capital Question” and signed “Tax-payers.” That tiling says “it would cost in the first place from twenty to twenty-five thousand dol lars to remove all the furniture, re cords, papers of file and the prop erty of the State of ( Very character, hack to Miliedgevhle,” etc. Your reader’s have it in their last week’s paper so I will quote no further. I reply that one hundred car loads will carry more than the State has to move from Atlanta—and the rate given by the thing signed “Tax payers,” makes two hundred t > two hundred and fifty dollars a Car-load which including cost of taking down, packing and loading, is enough to prepare this State property amt land ain Canada. It will not cost over foul t**. ’H’ il.uti (••uouiil, TllCfo i an old saying that .“figures He like h—ll sometime.-,” ami I think; that thing signed “Tax-Payer” struck it. I have a high opinion of Hon. Win. M. liee-e and am surprised to see “the old courser let down on the track.” But such is the case never t heln.-is. Mr. Reese says “the claim of At lanta for compensation will he made and cannot be resisted and hy re nioval we at once lose $179(100 ” Does Mr. Reese mean to insinuate i hat the State of Georgia is bound that Atlanta shall be Ihe permanent capital tiy that sum of money? The idea is absurd and his position pre posterous. Upon a tike presumption iheeiiizens of Milledgeuile should he paid a much larger suai of money if tfye capital is not re.-tofed to that town But neither Millfdgeville or its friends expect to sec that town paid oue dollar shouel tto people sanction the fraud of 1868. Mr. Reese should remember that the will of Georgia has ii|)re strength than the desire of a nunieipal cor poration, and lam surprised at this sly attempt to terrify tlje tax payers for it won’t work. Mr. Reese continually talks about cost, and bases his calculation of loss by removal on a coat*. Is Mr. Reese so poor a financier that he considers the cost of lour hundrel and twenty nine thousand dollars the fair value of Ivimoall’s Opera House? I am astonished ! Why bets is “Charlie Willingham,” yourself Mr. Editor, saying in an editorial ‘ We say damn the Kimball opera hope swindle.” The Kimball opera house capitol was never worth two hundred thou sand dollars and will lot s* 11 for one half that amount to-ply. The Janies building or Executive Mansion will not sell for fifty thojsand arid was never worth more tiari that sum. Mr. Reese says All til a oilers “also a sum of money sufficient lo build a cap ital as good as the oni at Milledgevilte which will be at the Heed calculation $65,000.” There is nothing said in Atlanta’s offer ahoufeos,oUo. 1 quote the so called offer aJgiven on 11am mond’s pamphht, ‘That the city of Atlanta will build |*>r the State ol Georgia on the hiation selected a capitol building as good as the (Id capital iq Milledgeville.” This sixty-five thoijand dollar state ment by the Hon. |r. Reese has a Scary look view it :| you please. It i- as though the amjnot of rumey At lanta must furnish*) make her offer good i- privately uflerstood. Six'.y five thousand dollifr*! Why, it will not lay the fouudalon of the capitol our “progressive” iilanta folks in tend to have. BujMr. Iteese fails to tell us where the 1 Dance is*to come from. I leave thafor common sense to determine. 1 r>y he wrong in my surmising, alt *ugh I think the •Vr was let out of lie bagjust t here.” In his arraign lent of Milledge- j vide Mr. Reese ah ws only mi-takes I committed by mt who were honest ; in their action am Addle he gives all : that spite itself cai utier, he does not! say that the idea the btate Road | originated at Mi.li Igeville; that At lanta is the <*iiiif of Midtsigeviile legislation. Oh, |, he does not tell that. But the pjpie know all these things. 'l’lie peofe know that leg islation at Mdlpgeville reclaimed J our State from Vi savages and made ' old Georgia the inpire State of the j South. Mr. Re#* does not fell us i while praising ilanta for the ex- j posureof Bulloi/s frauds, etc., that i all of that rascal.v originated there, and he fails tcJiel! why Bullock, Kimball and m th**ir gang have gone unpun sinf, and in these “latter days” within ti memory of some of us have been file! and feasted. I notice he s| that in 1806 pay at Milledgeville jr members of the Ulf&latu*U Yvhjfixod at nfuo a fl.iy, but he does not (*a!l to meiii orv ihe fm*t Unit everything then j whs ii>*r* than twice as liiyli as now, greenbacks being over 200 —that is, it tok two dollars ana some vents worth of greenbacks to get a dollar in gold. X xt week I shall qu te from (he Constitution as regards Atl tnta’soffer. Again * Skirmisher.” SiaXK IX THE XMIOX.St CAPITAL. lion. W. H, Felton Crosses I.unrei with Chilieiideii, >f New York. To the Editor of The Express: There was a scene at the capital to day seldom witnessed, the cause be ing the speech of Dr. Felton on th * “bill to repeal the resumption act.” At the eommoncement of his speech there ivas the general “hub-hub” that is always going on when any member is sp< aking, but as lie jiro ceeded and grew eh quent he gained not only the attention of the galler ies, but of every mendier on the floor, and fur the first time during ! this extra session, while a member was speaking silence reigned. A ever since lliii crossed blades with Blaine has any speech from the South com manded such attention, and when ! his time expired the whole House ! cried out, “Let him go on; let him finish,” and by unanimous consent he was allowed the privilege, and when interrupted by Chittenden, he rose in tiis eloquence and demolished i him at one feil swoop; the House j floor, galleries, all rang with ap |p la use. As well try to stop Niagara i with a feather as to stop the applause j by the Speaker’s gavel, which rained j upon his desk, but could not be i hear t. At his close lie was surrounded. Scores of members rushed to him with their congratulations and the House rang with applause from cen tre to dome, and the writer of this, from his heart, thanked God that Georgia could feel proud of him, and the man krmwu only at home, until lately, had made for himself not only a State but a national reputa tion in one hour, that few men, with the opportunity offered, make in a lifetime. Yours, truly, Ey e- Witness. | Washington, D. COct. 14, 1877. lilt. FELTO.N’S GREAT SPEECH.
