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! leugevnle, r -roir.ila •' ■ o 1 die iii.ut 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 Mil of th* inleiiiirenl white ; j>.i latino oi Georgia Which dots ‘ Mountaineer” propose to honor? 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. 00LD00QSH WARMED OVER FROM OUR STATE EX CHANGES. Home has sixteen prisoners in her jail, costing the county $7 20 per day. An unknown man was found dead recently, near Kingston, with five bullet holes in him. Mr. Cicero Emory eloped with Miss Julia Siiaduer, his wife's sis ter, in Marietta a few days ago. Hon. Foster Blodgett, a leading Georgia Republican, died in At lanta on Monday morning, Nov. 12th. Miss Anna Land, of Douglass county, has committed suicide by jumping into a liver. The cause is not known. The Catoosa Springs have been bought by Col. il. 11. Hickman, of Augusta, and he will make them popular and attractive. Col. Sam W. Small, one of Hie editors of tho Atlanta Constitu tion, has withdrawn from the Legislative race in Fulton county. The old wooden shanties on the corner of Peachtree and Decatur streets,Atlanta,have been burned. The origin of the fire is unknown, but it is thought that it was caused by some meddlesome rats playing with matches. Lumpkin Independent: “At least one hundred people will leave Stewart county this winter. About twenty five from Wesley Chapel neighborhood will go tc> Arkansas, quite a number from the Pail Handle district will go to Texas, while others will make their homes in South-west and North Georgia.” Marietta Journal: “Mr. E. Legg, of Cobb county, raised on ten acres of land—five of it being new ground—two hundred and fifty bushelsot corn; on five acres he raised three bales of cottou ; on a “piece” of ground he raised one hundred bushels of sweet potatoes; on one>fourtk of an acre he raised fifty-three gallons of syrup, and made seventeen hundred bundles of fodder. He has uiue head of hogs—four nice ones to kill; keeps a cow, has one horse, did all the work himself, or himself and family, except the hiring of one hand lor three or four weeks, makes his own ferti lizers, or mainly so, and has a one horse wagon. Now tiiis young and practical farmer is bound to thrive if he lives, and we call at tention to all such men as being the finger boards which point in the direction where competence ami success are lo be found.
