TUT FINANCIAL QUESTION.
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 REPRESENTATIVES.

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

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.”
