OCTOBER 1?, 1877. 4. 0. ALLEN - - - Editor. The Proposition of Atlanta. [From the Atlanta Constitution.] The enemies of Atlanta are con tinually asserting that the propo silion of Atlanta is not before the people. We give the action of the City Council on the subject, and also the action of tho Con vention authorizing tho city of Atlanta to make the offer. There is nothing in the way. If the capitol is located at Atlanta, it Will cost the State nothing, but sho can sell the two eapit’ols she! now has, and put the money in the treasury. If it is carried to Milledgeville, it will cost over one hundred thousand dollars to fix np the old building and pay lor the removal—besides thal, the State will lose tho building in this city as it revorts if the capitol is l removed. It is not only tho in terest.of the tax payer to keep the capitol in Atlanta, but it is far moro convenient and desira ble to every citizen of tho State, oxcept those who are personally interested in its removal. Here 16 wbat Atlanta proposes fo do: City Clkhe’s Omen, Atlanta, September Ift, 1877. At a called meeting of the mayor and council of tlio city of Atlanta, the following resolution . whs unanimously adopted, and the same was unanimously con curred in by the aldcnnnnio boanl—via.! Whereas, The cnimics of At lan ta are representing that Atlanta's proposition to the Convention was not made in good faith; and, Whereas, It was made in the utmost g6od faith, Resolved, That we do hereby fepcat tho same, and now declare that if Atlanta is selected as the capitol of the Sthle by tho people in December next, the city ot At lanta will convey to the State of Georgia any ten acres of land in or near tho city now unoccupied, or the square in the heart of said city known as tho city hall lot, containing live acres of land, and bounded by a street on every side, on which to locate and build a capitol for the State. Resolved further. That the city of Atlanta will bnild for the State of Georgia, on the location so- Pected, a capitol building as good as the old capitol building in Milledgeville. Resolved further that a copy < f this action 6igned by the mayor and certified to by the clerk of council under the seal of his oN flee, shall be deposited with the Governor of this Btate and be published for the information of the people. N. L. ANaiBR, Mayor. I certify that the above is true and correct copy from the min utes of the mayor and council of tie city of Atlanta, Georgia. Frank T. Ryan. ■jseal | GityCle*k. EXECUTIVE DkPARTM ENT. Atlanta, Qa., Sep. 19,1877. I hereby certify that the orig- Ibal of which the foregoing is a copy, signed by the mayor and city clerk, and having the copor ate seal alttached has beeh this day deposited in the execlive of fice and placed on file. J. W. Warren, | Seal | Sec * De I> u The Convention authorized it, as will bo s n by the following proviso in - ried in the constitu tion at the instance of Col; Ham mond for the afeatai purpose of meeting this ease. K will be found in the new constitution, ar tide seven, section six, paragraph onef “The General Assembly shall not authorise any eounty muni* eipal corporation, or political di vision of this State to become a stockholder in any company, cor poratioa cr association, or to ap propriate money for or to loan its credit to any corporation, com-j puny, association, institution or! individual, except for purely charitable purposes. Tliisrcstric tion shall not operate to prevent the support of schools by muni cipal corporations within their re speefive limits: i'rovided, that if any municipal corporation shall offer to the*State any property for locating or building a capitol, and the State accepts such offer, llie corporation may comply with such offer. - —■ Osman Pasha’s History. ... ■ JBs The Turkish minister to the United Stales furnishes the fol lowing- “Osman Pasha began his‘ studies under the care of his: brother, the late Ilussein Effendi, professor of Arabic in Hte prepa ratory school at Constantinople, whither Osman Pasha came from Tokat at his brother's suggestion, and who shortly alter had him admitted to tho same school. When sufficiently prepared by his relative young Usman entered the iniitfaty school, which, alter a brillMiit examination, he left with the rank of lieutenant. In telligent and laborious, he was always foremost in his class while in the military school- His com mission as Hetenant says that he came out first in the final exam, inatior.s. Osman’s entrance to tho army took place in 1852, and coincided with the beginning of the Crimean war. He had scarce ly donned his uniform when, with somo of his associates, he was appointed on the staff and sent to Shunila. On the battle field, as welt as at the school-desk, Osman Effendi was remarked by his chiefs for his coolness and military capacities, which began ,to prove so eminent that the rank of captain., and soon after adju tant Was conferred upon him. The campaign over, Osman Pasha returned to Constantinople and entered with his rank of captain into the imperial guard. Before long he obtained tho rank of com mandiuu of a lAttnlio of the im perial guard, with wliiclf lie was sent to Crete during the insurrec tion of that island. From the first to tho last moment he was present in every movement of the campaign against the insurg ents. "Peace being restorod in Crete be came back to Constantinople, this time with the epaulets of col onel, won after two years of con stant fighting. During his stay at tho capitol, Osman Pasha was connected with various military duties, and intrusted with sever al missions, which obtained for him a promotion to tho grade of Brigadior-Gencral, and, lastly, an appointment on tho staff of the fifth army corps as general of di vision. In that position, as in the previous ones, Osman Pasha’s ac tivity did not relax, and his ser vices became daily more impor- taut and valuable. It was at the time when lie was the rhief of staif of the fourth army corps that he was placed in command of the division at Widdin. After his gallant conduct before Zeilchar and in reward for his eminent services in the war against Ser bia an irado from the Sultan raised him to‘the rank of muohir (Marshal.) Osman Pasha is stili young. Weil educated and brave, his victories at Plevna are the re wards of a life of labor and devo tion for liis country and bis sov ereign. His Imperial Majesty, who fully appreciates him, lias given him the most flattering ev idence of his high satisfaction.” Grant and Sumner. A Washington letter hes this: “Some of the remarks attributed to General Grant *in the conver sation recently held bv him with a New York Ilerald representa tive at Kdingburgh have created intense excitement here, where the circumstances of which he speaks are so well known. Geu eral Grant is reported to have said that he look no part in the displacement of Mr. Sumner from ■the Chairmanship ot the Commit tee on Foreign Relations. It is strange that Gen. Grant should make such a statement us this when there are Senators now liv mg whom both he and members of his Cabinet personal to take part in the movemeut de grading Mr. Sumner. There were pot less than half a dozen Sena tors who, in private, expressly excused'themselves lor voting against Mr. Sumner by stating that they did so because of their feluclauce to offend President Grant. At the same time they admitted that it was a burning shame for Mr. Sunnier to be so treated.” What Bradley CoDfesset. It must be admitted that wl:at he (Bradley) says about his meth od of arriving at a conclusion on tiie Florida question is a virtual confession of his weakness as a man and incapacity as a Judge. He says he “wrote and rewrote the considerations on both sides as they occurred to me, some times being inclined to one view of the Case and sometimes Cos the other,” but lie does not explain how it came about that he voted with tiro Democrats to bear evi dence on the eligibility of Elector Humphreys, whose eligibility was never really doubled, and re fused to bear it in the case of the Louisiana electors, whose ineligi bility was abundantly capable of proof. Here was an inconsisten cy which I lie vacillation to which lie says he wan subject does not at all explain, for it is impossible that ho could have honestly be lieved that the principle of law was not the same in both cases, since botli were indentical. Mr. Bradley, sitting on the Supreme Bench, would neVer date to com mit such an absurdity. The truth of the matter is that whatever his secret relations to the Republican conspirators may have been, Mr. Bradley displayed from Ihe first, not a desire to get at the truth, but todiscoyer some plausible pretext for shutting it out; and it was the difficulty of doing this which gave him so much anxiety. It was because he found tho arguments of the Dem ocrats so terribly straight to the mark that he wavered—that he “wrote and rewrote the consider ations.” This was not the vacil lation of ignorance, but the adroit ness of partisanship* and it was this phase of Mr. Bradley’s ac tion which aroused the indigna lion of Judge Black, andtf lie. denounced with in:; scorn. It is t ill.' country refuses tnlgj sill never forgive.-^ Gazette. 4| 111 1" ,, T' 1 ' 1 T& |!}t are snilcnni; vjK ■: -y-G yellow lever. anil beyond the pie to control. M{|| the city, only those get away remaining Mayor of the city has issued the following proclamation: “In view of the tact that many of our citizens have left our strick en city, and that therefore the burden of providing lor the large number of poor and sick devolves upon the remaining few, and also for the reason that medical gen tlemen present announce it us their positive belief that the dread lii I disease in our town will not be stayed until alter frost, we reluctantly ask our fellow citi zens Who may read this call to modorately aid us in our trouble. We would ask that corporations, associations and private individ uals who desire to extend a help ing hand may be pleased to noti fy us of the amount of moneys or supplies by them collected* and give us authority to draw upon them, as our necessities may re quire.” Alexander JI. Stephens, in speaking of the President’s policy and his reception in the South, saidi "He has made grand strides in doing away with the North and South, and in putting aside the barriers belweeu the two sectious and in assuaging the bit ter feelings engendered by the war. llis course, so far, receives my entire support and approba tion. 1 think Mr. Hayes lias done for the pacification of the country, under the doctrine of the home rule, more than Mr. Tilden could have done bad he been inaugu i rated.” Mr. Stephens suggested that the President, as a further step toward pacification, appoiut Ucrscl.cl V. Johnson to the va cancy on the Supreme Bench. - ■ ■ ■■ ww- Gallant Gordon.— Under this head the Winusboro (S. C.) Her aid says; “A strong light will be made over Senator Gordon’s seal from Georgia this fall. The gallant Gordon has won a second term by his patriotic and able re cord. Especially gratifying would his re-election be tor the many South Carolinians who met him last winter in Columbia during those tryiug times.” General Howard says ho is right on tho heels of the indiaus. Thero is nothing very eheering about tins, however. We have seen a man right on the heels of! a mule,- but he didn’t seem to be getting the best of the mule. Judge Wright on the Capita!. Home, Ga., Sept. 24, 1877. If on. -V. Z. Angicr, Mayor of Atlanta: Dear Sib: —Tour letter of en quiry as to my views on the capi tal question, teas duly received. The only objection to Atlanta that ought to weigii anything in disinterestedness, to wit: The ex-1 pense of bnilding a new* capital, having been obviated by tiie pa triotic offer of Atlanta to giye the city a lot of five acres or any oth er ten acres in the city, and erefet thereon a suitable house for the Slate, I suppose, and trust no further struggles will be made on the subject. Of course, we all honor our ancient and well be loved Milledgeville. There is not a foot square of her red hills over which I have not wandered in my youthful days, A little way off, in Jones,¥B the home of ray wile; and with one intervening county, neft by, in old Columbia, Iw as born, jly first recollections of her are forever associated with Jenkins and Andrew J.

Clayton. Hon. John M. Berrien and that most God-like in oVatory of all men, I ever beheld,'John Forsyth. The memory of hie graceful and Apol lo like form-, his noble head, and his eyes flashing eternal fire like a summer storm-clond, are as vivid as the hour I saw and heard. “There were giants in those days.’’ “Home of my childhood I shall never forget thee.” But public duty, I sincerely be lieve, requires that we should put capital at Atlanta.

When thefover was raised, an indescribable look of surprise overspread his countenance, as he exclaimed? “Great God! Did any of them get away?” Senator Matthews,in lus debate with General Ewing at Dayton, admitted : '‘There is no contract made by the Government of the Did ted States with individuals, creditors, from the beginning un til now which is not payable by law' in coin of Ihe standard value of July 14,1870, which was before silver was demonetized.” This is a declaration that all the bonds of the United Slates, notwith standing the 4 demonetization of silver coin, are still payable in gold of silver coin, and it is the opinion of an’ eminent Republi can lawyer.

The points were sold to a manufacturer when a bulk had accumulated, and were made into The money was raised in four pionths. “Gath,” writing a safe distance from Maine, says: ‘lt has been Hayes’ misfortune from the outset to have had a weakness and fear for Blaine. To my mind it is only a test question of a man’s - general judgment whether he carried off his feet by Jim, or coolly anal yzes the monkey.” ■ In Texas, retcntly, tlto judge broke down with emotion while sentencing Bill Lougly, notorious desperado, to be hung for mur der.
