We are fearful that, the people of the country nre still to be held in the crushing grasp of the bondholders and money lords. It is to be feared that the toiling millions, the sweat of whose brows is the vitality of na tional existence and greatness are to DO mr.cTClTte slaves of an aristocratic money power. The President’s late message and the temper of the senate havo but little hope for the relief of the depressed condition of the indus trial interests of the country. The financial policy of the government, we fear, is to be continued in the in terests of the favored few and to the min of the masses. The infamous process of forced resumption of specie payments is to he continued in the face of the fact that the wail of des pair is tne heartsiekening sound that pierces the ear on every hand. The “wreckers” are spending their mill ions to force resumption with the view of gathering in the harvest of gold that flows into their coffers at the expense of tho material life of the whole country. There are brave men n Congress endeavoring to avert national calamity and the ruin oft he people, but it is to he feared that gold is more powerful there than patriot ism or sympathy for tho distress of the people. The bondholders se: tired their treasures amid the calamities of war. They paid from fifty to sixty cents in the dollar for their bonds. '4'liese were originally to be paid in green backs, hut tlie infamous act of 18G9 changed the original contract lo coin, then silver was demonetized chang ing the contract again to gold coin alone. These infamous schemes of a Republican congress in the interests of tho money power culminated in the passage of the resumption act of 1875, which has done more to cripple the energies of industry and to make it unprofitable and grinding upon the people than all their infamous measures. Depreciation of real es tate and the shrinkage of all values have so h UJjgtafttC 00 “ ~_Y, prosperity and thrift. The with drawal of millions of currency from the trade and trafic of the country, preparatory to resumption, has been upon such a gigantic scale as to leave not more than half a sufficiency lo meet the demands of commerce, and the result is that general distress is the result and ruin the end if forced resumption is to he the policy of the government. Is there not patriotism enough in Congress to avert impending disaster? Art the “wreckers” to continue to secure their booty while the people are to drift upon seas of trouble and despair? It is possible the Shy locks aie to continue to demand their pounds of flesh nominated in their bonds by the infamous acts of Con gress that changed the contracts from greenbacks to gold? Are the bonds, purchased at fifty and sixty cents in the dollar, to he paid in gold and to remain non-taxahle? Is the money ed aristocracy to be continued the masters of tho toiling people? If so, then we may look to continued dis trust, distress and despair. If the present financial policy of the gov ernment is tc be maintained there can be no other results. A volume of currency, given to the people independent of national hanks and sufficient to meet the demands Of trade, will quicken the pulsations of business in all tho avenues of in dustry, and send the bright star of hope to every heart, prosperity to the country and happiness to every fireside. BARTOW’S BALLOTS. We have not the space to devote to . full and complete vote of the eouuty by precincts. We only give the consolidated vote of the county, as follows: For ratification 1989 Ag tinst ratification 310 Homestead of 1877 1079 Homestead of 18GS 450 For Atlanta 2097 For Milledgeville 261 FOR SENATOR. D. B. Hamilton 1094 Samuel Hawkins 999 FOR REPRESENTATIVES. T. W. Milner 1091 It. H. Cannon 1210 T. H. Baker 712 T. J. Lyon 555 D. B. Mult 94 The majority for Atlanta, 18GG, is larger than we anticipated, and also that for ratification, 1643. The great est efforts were made in tho interests of candidates for the legislature, and hut little was done for the capital and ratification on the day of election. The Markham House, in Atlanta, is a healthy place lo live at, and peo ple are living there like princes and princesses. Col.; J. E. Owen, who keeps a Virginia welcome on hand for everybody that stalks into his hotel, is oqe of the most popular men in Georgia. His tables are always supplied with the best tho market affords, and his rooms are always cleanly and nice. There are few as good hotels on the American conti nent. OLD REMINISCENCES. We have known Brother John W. Burke ever since 1846 or 1847. He was at that time a printer’s appren lice in tlie old Southern Banner office and wo were a rural hoy who went into see the sights of a newspaper office. John was very polite and made a good impression upon our ruralistie innocence—for he was a very kind young man, especially to country folks like we were at that time. In spite of these circumstan ces time has gone apace, and John Burke ha3 become the Rev. John W. Burke, a big publisher, and one of the best men in Georgia. During the time that has intervened since 184 G the writer hereof has also learn ed the printer’s trade, and part of our apprenticeship was under John. That was about the time J udge O. A. Loclnane was spouting elocution as a young lawyer in a room in the old Central hotel—all of which happened in Athens, Ga. Henry Grady’s father and mother were not then married nor was Henry thought of as far a* we knew at the time, though Henry’s name is frequently mention ed in the newspapers. Well, Judge Lochrane still posesses all the smil ing rosin ess ot youth, Brother Burke don’t look old nor do we feel so our self. Col. J. Walt Harris, whom we then knew’, is now stalking the streets of Cartersville as blithe and gay, as youthful like and stately as he did in his young manhood when the Christian calendar marked tho year 1816. These things have been called to memory by the following paragraph which we found in the iast Southern Christian Advocate, of which Brother Burke is publisher and assistant editor, who attended the late session of the North Geor gia Conference at Gainesville, of which he is a consistent member: Wc arrived at Gainesville on Tuesday night, before the Conference began, and found a home at Mr. E. D. Bank’s where we had a most agreeable time, with brothers L. Rush and W. A. Melson lor our room mates. Mr. Banks and his good, wife bestowed great kindness upon us, and we shall ever remem ber with pleasure our short sojourn in their excellent family. That was good treatment and a kind acknowledgement of a purely Christian and brotherly hospitality, all of which we like. It was clever on both sides, and consistent, too. When we read Iho foregoing our mind naturally reverted to the times of the past and rested in serene pleasure upon those we have named —all of which reminds us of Evan Howell, Joe Harris, Speer & Ilam and Bradileld’s female regulator and things of that sort—all in connection with the important fact that Atlanta is still counting up her big majority. Speaking of Atlanta leminds us that the first claim of our old friend, Mr. Tweatt, against the State has not yet been allowed. Why not, we shall not discuss. If friend English, of Atlanta, would devote a little of his time and attention to the matter Uncle Peterson it would he all right, " .. lu ...caioiies do crowd upon the mind when there is no exciting campaign on hand! What is that vision before us? Why it’s “Rough Rice,” who used to pull that old Smith hand press in the old Southern Whig office while this writer did the “rolling.” Those were glorious old times! Tilings haye happened since then, among them the late war and the recent capital campaign in which “the halls our fathers built” were somewhat ignored in the general count. Well, we don’t despair; things will occur in spite of the eas tern war and the fall of Kars, and in spite of the fact that Dwinell, of the Rome Courier and Triplett, of the Thomasville Times , and Susan An thony have not yet been married. Well, we are getting this article so mixed that we must desist until the capital question is fairly settled. It will do, however, in the absence of our usual editorial on that great and absorbing question. TUB VOTE OF THE STATE. Reports of the actual state of the vote, or of majorities, have been re ci iyed from nearly all the counties of the State. They may he changed somewhat by the official returns, hut not sufficiently to make any great difference. Tho summary of the Atlanta Constitution of yesterday is as follows: Atlanta 64,322 Milledgeville 23,039 Majority for Atlanta 41,283 Ratification of Constitution 09.198 Against 8,06 G Majority for ratification 00,132 Ilomostesd of 1877 47,281 Homestead of 18GS 9,171 Majority for 1877 38,107 When it is remembered the amount of prejudice and Nullification brought to bear against Atlanta the result of tho vote on the capital question is as tounding. But for the complete or ganization and interminable labor of the people of Atlanta, the result would have been different. The campaign committee was presided over by Mr. J. W. English, who dis played a capacity for the, business hut few men can possess. The work of the committee was to publish the true facts in regard to the claims of Atlanta, and to defend the city against the tongue of slander and de traction. We feel like a great 'victory has been won that may be enjoyed in a quiet way. The victory is bigenough to mike the friends of Atlanta ex ceedingly generous and magnami mous. The following paragraph wo clip from the prospectus of the Atlanta Constitution : It will be the aim of the editors in the futuio, as it has been in the past, to make their paper in every respect a rellex of Georgia's progress and Georgia’s greatness, and a faithful, vig orous and unswerving champion of Georgia’s interests. Well, now, we are more than ever in favor of retaining the capital at Atlanta in spite of Baldwin and Bibb counties, ATLANTA’S BIG COUNT. Ten weeks ago we thought if At lanta could retain the capitalship at all, it would be by a small majority. We did not count on a larger majori ty than ten thousand. But the count commenced in good old earn est a week ago. The thing kept going up at such a rate that our sym pathy so arose for poor old Milledge ville and “the halls our father’s built,” that we had to go lo Atlanta and try to stop the count, an evi dence of which we clip the following from the Constitution as follows: Charlie Willingham, “the old reliable,” et Thk Cartersville Express, came down last night to congratulate Atlanta and stop the count, lie wants Milledgeville to Lave a few crumbs of consolation, aid is as geuer* ous as lie is jubilant over Atlanta’s victory Wherever Charlie’s paper was circulated votes were rolled up on our side. Having vainly tried to step the count; we are now endeavoring to call in our skirmish line in conformi ty to the suggestion of the Old Capi tal, a paper published in Miiledge ville, made in the following senten tious paragraph : General Willingham, of Cartersville, can call in his skirmish line, now. Oi couisc, he voted in military attire, and formally saluted tbsj managers before he voted at all. Wliat will become of tbe General's elaborately fig ' Qrcd, but sadly tarnished regimentals, now ? What will become of bis brass-mounted horse pistols, and his silver-clad sciinctar wont to swing amid the pendulous rank of vast tas. sul3 at Ills saddle bow ; and liis Arab gun ? I.et the General retire on half pay. If we had known that “the halls our fathers built” had been struck so badly by such a thundering bolt of lightning, Tiie Express would not have extended its skirmish line over so much ground. But the thing has been done and wo can’t stop the results even if Col. Jones, of the Macon Telegraph , should direct a battery of italics at our head. Well, we have to say to the Old Capital, now that the l'uss is over, and “nobody hurt on our side,” that we are not in the least belligerent. The only and great desire of our heart in connection with the Mill edgeville feature of Iho last cam paign is that the Old Capital, the best looking weekly paper in the State, will continue to flourish, and that Parish Carter Furman, the gal lant champion of “tho halls our lath ers built,” shall go to Congress next time and not have to meet on the hustings so successful a competitor s Hoke Smith. Indeed, there are none ive sympathise with so sincere ly as Furman, Speer & Ham, of the Old Capital , and Col. Jones, of tho Macon Telegraph. Col. Jones may now tie up his font of italic types and wrap the drapery of defeat around him and devote ms time and space to the noble mission of harmonizing the conflicting elements of tho late campaign. In the midst of the busy hum of life and circumstances, Atlanta’s big count is still going on. THE EASTERN WAR. last| will probably end the Eastern war. The dispatches state that at 7:30 o’clock in the morning. Osman Pasha’s eniire army attacked the Russian grenadier corps, holding the line of investment on the left bank of the river Vid, endeavoring to force a passage. The attack was made with desperate energy, and a portion of tho Turkish troops did, in fact, penetrate the line of entrenchments and batteries, but all attempts to breakthrough the positions of the grenadiers were ineffectual. After five hours’ severe fighting the Turks were defeated. Osman Pasha was surrounded on all sides and was compelled to surrender his whole army. Up to the present time it is impossible to estimate the num ber of Turkish prisoners, or the quan tity of war material taken. The Russian losses are inconsiderable as compared with the results obtained. The battle seems to have been a ter rible one, the Turks suffering greatly in killed and wounded. Intelligence is to the effect that the Porte intends to take immediate steps to bring about peace negotiations, and it is probable England will now intervene lo accomplish the same end. It is stated that the friends of Mill edgeville voted a dog and an idiot in Macon for Atlanta. It is very hard to believe that such a tiling happened in a civilized city where are located a male and female college, both under the especial patronage of religious denominations. Until the Telegraph convinces us that such is the fact by a column of italics we shall not be lieve the half that has been told us. - There is a Catholic fair in progress in Atlanta. A fine gold watch is to he voted to the most popular railroad conductor. One of the most popular contestants is Mr. Thomas Garrett, of the State road. The vote wifi he closed to-morrow. If any of Thos.’ friends desire to secure the prize for him, let them send down a quarter at once as that is the price of a vote. For some time we have inadver tently neglected to acknowledge the receipt of the Commercial-Reporter, published at Atlanta, by Mr. W. L. Christopher. It is a much needed feature in Atlanta journalism, and barring its patent inside is a bright and sparkling journal. J. B. Eustis, senator elect from Louisiana, after waiting nearly two years for his seat, was, on Monday last, admitted to the same by v a vote of 49 to 8, when he took the oath of office and assumed the duties ot th e same. “Old Si” will do the “Vagabonds” at an entertainment in Atlanta short ly. We suppose we are at a safe enough distance to venture the re mark that he has the physique for a stunning “make up” of the character. A Washington dispatch says that Col. Albert R. Lamar, of Savannah, formerly editor and proprietor of a Columbus (Ga.,) newspaper, has been appointed tally clerk of the House. OUR SENATOR AND REFIIESENTA- T IVES. The election of Mr. Samuel Haw kins, of Chattooga county, to the senate fr#m this district is very sat isfactory to those even who did not vote for him. Ho was a member of the late constitutional an active member. He was an advo cate of reform upon all proper occa sions, and his record is one creditable to his constituency and honorable to himself. We congratulate Mr. H. upon his success against one of the most popular men in the district. Col. R/H. Cannon, one of our rep resentatives, is a successful iarrner and a gentleman of intelligence. That he will make a good represen tative none doubt who know him. Quiet and unobtrusive he will not be given to “much speaking” in the genaral assembly. He will be heard, however, whenever thefe is a necessi ty and a purpose for it. Mr. Thomas W. Milner’s election was a splendid triumph, liis fine majority exhibited wonderful popu larity that he should he proud of. Mr, M. is one cf the rising young men ut the Cherokee bar, and we have no doubt he will exhibit fine legislative qualities. We congratulate the voters of the forty-second senatorial district and Bartow county for the good selections they have made for the general as sembly. ATLANTA’S LAW MAKERS. We have lo congratulate Atlanta upon her choice for Senator and rep resentatives. Fulton, Clayton and Cobb make up the thirty-fifth sena torial district, and Mr. W. T. Winn was Cobh’s champion for Senator, lie is a most clever gentleman, but Evan Howell, editorial manager of the Constant ion, somehow or other, proved to be more popular and suc cessful in the senatorial race, as his majority was something over three thousand. Fulton’s representatives are N. J. Hammond, W. 11. Hulsey and P. L. Mynatt. No county in the State could have selected three better men. Indeed, there are hut few counties that could have selected three as good men to the general assembly. There are counties, however, that have elected two as good men, and others one as good, but none better. This is saying a good deal for Fulton county without a great deal of risk. We have known Hammond and Ilulsey a quarter of a century, al most, and Mynatt for a number of years. Hammond and Mynatt were members of the late constitutional convention. Ilulsey was onco Mayor of Atlanta, and his administration was popular, so much so that we then promised Bill .that we should go for him for governor atjsorae fu ture day. We think Atlanta ought to con gratulate herself upon tho choice she made for senator and representatives, especially as she carried the capital x- „ - ■ j -cngo *i.. jority. The Augusta Chronicle says that Col. Fitzsimons, the new Marshal for Georgia, will make his home in Atlanta; also that he is a zealous supporter of the President’s efforts for good government. We are indebted to lion. W. 11. Felton fora copy of tiie President’s first annual message, with the ac companying reports of the heads departments, for which lie has our thanks. It is a volume of 220 pages. The Atlanta Tribune is anew paper just issued from the gate city. Mr. C. H. Williams, a brilliant journalist, lately connected with the Columbus Times, is the editor. The Constitution will henceforth dish up a column of society gossip Sundays. Wo always thought the fashionable folk of that place needed an organ. It is presumed that Col. Jones will present his “railroad map” to Muktah Paslia from which the Turkish ehiel may plan a score of brilliant winter operations. Now let Joe. Harris secure Col. Parish Furman’s sleeve buttons and install them on his desk as paper weights. The result of tho election is con vincing to Messrs. Ham & Speer that the heading of their paper is not a misnomer. It is strange how numerously the capital question has been decided in favor of Atlanta. RUFUS. B. BULLOCK. A Constitution reporter had the fol lowing chat with Rufus B. Bullock in Atlanta on his arrival in that city. “‘When did you reach the city, Governor?’ “ ‘I came in this morning,’ he re plied blandly. ‘I intended to have reached Atlanta on yesterday hut there was a forced delay en route. I should like to have been here and exercised my right to vote on that importautday. I have not .cast a single vote inside of Georgia in over ten years, and I never like to miss a Georgia election.’ “ ‘Have you como to Georgia to live?’ ‘* ‘Yes, sir; lam here to stay. The truth is, I have always been a citizen of this State, and I have always in tended to live here. I have merely waited for the time to arrive when I could conveuiently take up my resi dence Here.’ “In reply to the question as to when his trial would come olf, Gov ernor Bullock replied ‘that he did not know,’ but expressed the hope that it might not belong be delayed, lie says he wants the thing closed. ‘ Governor Bullock declined to talk upon any of the questions in volving his record or his future. He said that anything he might say at present would be misconstrued, and could not possibly do him any good. At the proper time he says he will have a statement to make to the peo ple of Georgia, for which he will ask only their dispassionate considera tion.” The New Haven Board of Educas (ion have abolished religious exercise in the public schools.
