HEVEKA.. WORD' FOR ATLANTA
On our local page we publish a
communication headed “A Word
for Milledgeville,” and sinned
'‘Mountaineer,” It is due to our
readers to say that “Mountain
eer,” while ho was once a citizen
of this country, that he long since
removed from our midst to an
ovtffr portion of the State, and is
not so much of a “Mountaineer”
after ali. His argument we con
ceive instead of benefittirig Mil—
ledgeville really benefits Atlanta,
because his points nre the explo
ded “buncombe” of the parallyz
ed Milledgevillfans which met
with an ignominious death nt the
hands of the best men in Georgia.
That it is to the interest of the
tax payers to return to Milledge
ville is perfectly untenable in the
light of argument. It lias been
clearly demonstrated that it will
cost the Slate a half million of
dollars to return “in good order”
Tlw> facU and figures have been
produced by some of the best and
ablest men in Georgia, and take
ft for granted that no impartial
man will doubt it for one moment.
Therefore, we do not c;ire to item
ize or purlicularige these solid
facts.
The Capital has been removed
from time to time and from place
to place to meet the wants of the
people with increasing population
and all the “sacred pledges” of
legislatures to fix a permanent
Capital are but dust when the
wants of the people are called in
question—when they make a de
mand. Pledges melt like ice
when they are wrong pledges.
Milledgeville has never had a
population large enough to have
invested much money on the
faith of the location of the Capi
tal at that place. Every place at
which the Capital has been loca
ted has alike suffered by its re
moval by a decline in real estate.
Atlanta has invested more money
on the fsith of the location of the
Capital than ever MiJMgeville
had. Hut what does tins amount
to? Must the whole people suf
fer the expense of a few, real
estate men at the Capital sites *
lhe people of Georgia are uudti
no obligations to any of iliese
places further than the financial
interests of the State are affected.
Has MilledgevilJe more of the
necessaries of life than Atlanta?
Has she cheaper and better ho
tels? Has she more of them? Has
she largi r and cheaper mercantile
houses? Is everything cheaper
in MilledgevilJe that supplies the
wants of a Legislature, a Supreme
Court or the various departments
of Government than in Atlanta?
If so, let us go back to Milledge
ville. lias she belter railroad
communication than Atlanta? Is
she more accessible to the people
of Georgia ? If so, let us return.
Does not everybody know that
the Capita] building at Milledge
vllle is inadequate to the wants
of the people ? Does not every*
body know that it will take $150,-
000 to repair it ? Does not every
body know that Milledgeville is
A little old dilapidated town,
many of whose citizens have sold
out and removed since the Capi
tal left there, and sold to purcha
sers also who bought without the
hope of the Capital ever return
ing, and at depreciated prices re
Aulting therefrom. Does not every
body know that her hotels and
business houses ate totally inad
equate to the wants of a Legisla
ture and will ever remain so ? She
cannot afford to mako costly pre
parations for forty days in two
years. Where is the least incen
tive to expensive legislation? It
k.wbare accommodations can be
furnished the cheapest.
But then a military govern
ment removed the Capital, This
was Hie only righteous act it ever
djd. Was Atlanta responsible for
it? Not by any means. Did not
every: Democrat in the Conven
tion vote for removal ? Has not
Atlanta paidlher money for the
location of the Capital, and does
she not uow propose to give the
City Hall lot, worth $150,000, to
the State and build as good a Cap
itol as the one at Milledgeville?
Lias notAUanta olready got much
the best Capitol building? Will
a Legislature be more honest,
mote economical, more patriotic
in Milledgeville Ilian in Atlanta?
Is there anything in the atmos
phere around Milledgeville that
makes a Legislature or the gtnte
House officers better and purer
and more attractive limn in At
lanta ?
* Mountaineer,” in his reasons
why w> should :;o buck to Mi!

who ;;0l lost ii. :i swamp and m
Lhfcdaik. li<- prayed and scream
ed and yelled lor a light, until a
neighbor of his, against w hom lie
entertained a great deal of enmi
ty, came with a light to lead him
out, but when lie suw the bearer
of the light lie said “1 11 go right
back into the swamp; I’ll never
be led out by lus light.” This
writer would have us go back into
the swamp because wo don’t like
the fellows who took us out. Hut
we are out, and thank God for it;
and we mean to stay out.
The fact that the question is
left to the sovereignty of the
Slate to settle, drives away every
cloud of the dark past, and places
the two applicants upon their
merits- If the people act intelli
gently, ami in the light of thejr
own interests, we do not fear the
result, Atlanta did not furnish a
house lor the Legislature for teii
years, because the Legislature—
the representatives of the people,
coining from every section of the
State—concluded to buy a house
of their own, and accordingly
bought the “Opera House,” and
afterwards Atlanta paid off a six
ty thoußiind-dollur mortgage on
the house which, if (lie Capital is
removed, she will hold in full
forca against it.
Again he says ‘the 1 gislatoni
of Atlanta lias involved the State
in overwhelming debt." Atlanta
has never had u Legislature. The
people of Georgia sent their rep
resentatives there to transact
their business. They came from
ali parts of the Slate and acted
for (lie whole State, What lias
Atlanta got to do with Georgia’s
debts? Hut we conclude that this
argument is so week that even
the political demagogue would
not stop long enough Lo consider
it.
Milledgeville is not far from
the geographical center of the
State, but Atlanta is the center
of communication and conven
ience in the Stale. Milledgeville
ia near the center of population,
but what kind of population? A
population of ignorant, imbecile
negroes; Atlanta is near the cei

Wo leave that to his enlightened
conscience, and his arguments lo
a people that will not fail on the
iiftli of December lo lake all the
starch out of them,
THE RESUMPTION HILL,
We have received the Congres
sional Records containing the
speeches ol lion. 11. P. Bell and
Dr. W. 11. Felton,our North Geor
gia representatives, on the bill to
repeal the third clause of the He
sumption Act. Their speeches
do credit to themselves and to
the people they so ably repre
sent. The South and West con
cur with them in their views,
while the bond holding East
brand them with all sorts of epi
thets.
Col. Bell's points are well tak
en, and he argues that it will be
impossible for the Government to
resume specie payments on the
first of January, 1879, as contem
plated by law. At that time there
will be $300,000,000 of legal
tender notes to be redeemed,
and this must be done by less
than SIOOOOO,OOO of gold coin.
The Treasurer’s report only shows
$66,000,000 coin now in the Treas
ury. How resumption, under
this state of things,can take place,
staggers us. Even if resumption
could take place financial ruin
would certainly follow. We are
now on the brink of a great ca
lamity in our monetary system.
The amount of money now in cir
culation is wholly inadequate to
the wants of the public. Debts
have been contracted when
money was flush ; manufactories
erected; railroads constructed;
real estate improved, and the
commercial relations o 1 the coun
try broadened and deepened.
Suddenly the currency then in
circulation was withdrawn. The
amount of money was discovered]
to be too small to answer the
purposes of the public. Bankers,
capitalists and bond holders were
the first to see the state of things
into which the country was being
precipitated. They went to work
lo center the currency into their
control. The gold was locked up
in their vaults and the green
backs were in their pockets. Par
ties borrowing paid heavy inter
ests, and the continued pressures
crushed them and they could uot
unset their obligations. Moil ga
ges were foreclosed oil their
property and sacrificed lor hall
j ilnto ul dungs continues logiow
worse, iiicysuy wu’ii get down
to “hard pan,” and then rest on a
solid basis. The couutry will be
wrecked by that time.
As Dr. Felton, in his great
speecii, says “look at the storm
driyen ocean. Signal-guns ol
distress are heard through the
gipom. Ships are going down by
tho hundreds, and thousands of
precious lives are being ingulfed-
In the midst of this ruin there
slaud the ‘wreckers’ awaiting
tiieir prey and comforting them
selves with the words ‘these
things will right themselves.’
Yes, sir; 1 know dial the morn
ing sun will rise brightly on a
calm sea. Every wave shall have
subsided. The fragments shall
have floated off to some neigh
boring shore, and the dead will
have been forgotten. Tilings will
have righted themselves on that
sea.”
When bankruptcy and ruin,
starvation and bread riots shall
have linished their course, and
the properly of the common peo
ple sacrificed and the capilalists
made rich, then resumption will
have completed its course. Let
silver be remonetized; let the
Resumption Act be repealed;
give us more money, and then a
prostrate country will shake off
her lethargy and rise to anew
and glorious future.

Romaine Gold, Jewelry and Watches.
