A Disappointed Georgian.
Anight or two since there was somewhat
of a commotion in the lobby of the National
hotel, caused by the rather strong language
used toward a southern senator by one of the
lately disappointed aspirants for the Georgia
inarshalship. He accused the senator of vio
lating faith with him ; that he had promised
him the marshalship in consideration of his
helping the senator in his own election, lie
said relying upon the senator's promise he
had spent $3,000 to help secure his election,
and now the marshalship was given to some
one else and he was left out in the cold.
The senator did not reply, but walked away.

.ttlt miasmatic complaints, in other words, all
disorders generated by unwholesome exhalations
from the earth or water, are prevalent at this
season. In every section subject to the visitation
of fever and ague, or other forms of intermittent
disease, the causes which produce these maladies
are now actively at work. This, therefore, is a
period of the year when the inhabitants of such
districts should prepare their systems to meet the
Unwholesome condition of the atmosphere by a
course of tonic and alterative treatment. Fore
most among the invigoranta, recommended by
time and experience as a means of fortifying the
system against all endemic and epidemic maladies,
stauds Ilostetter’s Stomach Bitters. By a timely
use of the Bitters, the feeblest resident of an
unhealthy soil may escape the sickness which,
without the aid of this potent ally" of nature, will
be apt to overtake the strongest.
MacMahon’s Policy.

OUR STATE UNIVERSITY.
Tie editor pro tern, of the Athens Gedrrdan,
has this statement in the nature of a card :
“For the information of the people of Geor
gia and the members of the Alumni society
of our State institution, we mention the fact
that as the-result of the maladministration of
the present board of trustees, the University
of Georgia now contains less than one hun
dred students, and of this small number less
than fifty pay tuition.”
The above is not a very flattering notice
of our State University to be sent out to the
| world. After all the explanations and as
signed causes, which are many, why pur Uni
versity is so thinly attended, it is still a
mystery that an institution with an income
of between s3o,oooand $40,000. and offering
more than two hundred free scholarships,
should attract only one hundred pupils to its
halls. 3\ itli such facilities as this college
can command, and with an active, enterpris
ing man at the head, almost any private
school in this country would have in constant
attendance at least five hundred students.—
It occurs to us, that to make any business,
not a monopoly, successful, requires not only
wise, general planning, but—first, capable
and energetic execution ; second, sufficient
resources to meet competition ; and third, to
let the world know all the advantages offer
ed—not once, but over and over again.
Now, as to the general management of this
institution, we are inclined to believe, to a
considerable extent, with the Chancellor in
his annual report, that the wants of our peo
; pie, just now, do not demand a University:
certainly not a German University, at the
j present, or at any other time. To test this
question, let us adopt the German plan, and
let each Professor secure his salary by the
sale of tickets of admission to his lectures.—
i We opine that many would fail, with even a
bonus of three or four hundred dollars. The
i impoverished condition of our people makes
it impossible to keep their sons in attendance
sufficiently long to complete much more than
j half the course now prescribed. To attempt
j to push them through all the schools organ
; ized, in two or three years, which is longer
than many can attend, must result in very
superficial work or in injury to health, if not
both. When we are really ready for a Uni
versity, let us have an American one. not a
| sickly graft on an old German stock; for
now we can hardly claim the name, except
on the ground of teaching everything that is
usually taught in school, academy and col
lege. Yet, even with the present system, the
number of pupils ought to be, at least, three
or four times what it is now ; and in hunting
for the reason why it is not, we do not think
that the prime cause can be found, under our
first or second factor of success ; though we
would suggest, just here, a more energetic
execution might contribute largely to the
increase of patronage. 'There certainly ought
to be a free consultation between Faculty
and Trustees, which we hear is not now the
case. But after all. we respectfully suggest
that the main difficulty is to be found under
the third head. Our University is not adver
tised to one-tenth the extent which it ought
to be. Almost any leading academy in the
country is more intimately known to the peo
ple. Instead of securing the support, which
might easily be done, of the leading journals
in our State, it permits them to be arrayed
in opposition, to a considerable extent. Ev
ery few weeks, wc meet in the public prints
some such paragraph as the one at the head,
of this article ; and no institution can suc
cessfully meet such a tide of public opinion
as will be created bv notices of this charac
ter. A few interviews during the term, and
short circulars scattered broadcast, and re
newed every month or two, not to mention
advertisements, kept running in leading
journals, or rotated so as to reach all. would
soon change the current of public opinion.—
People are apt to believe what their papers
say. Asa striking proof to support the
above statement, the single batch of-cireulars
and notices, sent out by Prof. Broun when
he took charge of the Agricultural College
brought in such a patronage as to carry the
number of pupils beyond three hundred.—
The case is so plain that we need hardly say
more on this head ; but we would suggest
further, that if the members of the Faculty
would circulate among the people, and let it
be known who they are, and what they are
doing, a vast advantage would be gained.—
We venture the assertion that even in the
adjoining counties, not one man in ten of
those who would educate their sons, is ac
quainted with a single member of the Facul
ty, or with what he is teaching, excepting,
possibly, the ministers known in that capac
ity alone. Just here may be found a solution
to the continued existence of certain preju
dices which are wide spread through this
country, and prevent many students from
going to the University. We call attention
to one or two; first, in former years, a no
tion, starting, no doubt, in reports of College
pranks, percolated silently through country
society, that the College and its surroundings
exerted an immoral influence on young men ;
and this notion still remains in many Chris
tian and moral families. Second, our frugal
people were formerly impressed, and still
believe, that Athens is a very expensive
place, and that young men sent there acquire
habits of extravagance.
Now we believe, if there ever was any
foundation for such conviction, it no longer
exists, and liberal advertising and a little
canvassing by the Faculty would soon re
move all such opinions. We are assured that
j in the denominational colleges, the number
' of students is not only kept tip but increased
! even in these hard times, and their Faculties
i sustained by tuition fees, through the agen
cy of printers' ink and a moderate circula
tion of the officers among the people. In
: deed a very moderate salary from the endow*
ment, to be supplemented by contingent tui
; tion fees might act as a stimulus with all col
lege officials, and tend largely to increase pa
i tronage.
Another important aid might be secured
by the officers discussing scientific and oth
er subjects in the public journals. Many
facts and theories which seem trite and worn
to them, would be new 7 and interesting to the
great masses of the people and would attract
public notice to our cherished L'uiversit} 7 . —
Many other valuable suggestions might, we
think, be timely made but we have not the
space. Expending a few hundreds on the
above agencies, will do more good than in
sustaining non-paying professorships, or in
recalling any lost officers.
Atlanta’s Proposition.
The Newnan Herald has some remarks on
the of Atlanta in regard to her
proposition to erect a State House, in the
event of that city being selected as the per
manent location for the Capitol. Among
other things, the Herald speaks thus forcibly :
Atlanta could not, if she would, refuse
without eternal disgrace, to comply in every
particular, with her solemn promise to the
people, if selected by them as the permanent
capital of Georgia, and a clause in the new
constitution, as will be seen from the article
we publish, gives her the power to make the
appropriation necessary for the erection of a
capitol building within the limits of the city.
The proposition of Atlanta is fair, liberal, and
just, and if accepted by the people of Geor
gia, will prove the most economical and best
choice that could be made by them. Besides
being the most eligible point for the location
of the capital, in the selection of Atlanta the
people ot Georgia secure the erection of a
New Capitol building without the expendi
ture of a cent, while if Milledgeville be select
ed, the}’ will have nothing but the old capitol
badly out of repair, deficient and inadequate
in many particulars to the wants of the State.
A Monstrous Proposition from an Unclean
Source.
What is the use of meetings to entreat a
Legislature to ratify the amendments, when
a tittle money will purchase its approval of
anything ? Gentlemen may talk till dooms
day. and fail to convince the Legislature that
patriotic duty requires the submission of the
amendments; but that distinguished body
will be convinced of it if the majority can
have two hundred dollars apiece—cash in
hand. Let a few of the rich men of this city
contribute fifty dollars apiece to a fund—call
it an “ electioneering fund,” an “expense ac
count,” an auxiliary subscription for philan
thropic purposes,*’ or any other nice name—
and let that fund be handed over to the ma
jority of the Legislature, without respect to
party, and the amendments will pass. When
anything needs to be done, economy requires
it to be done in that way which involves the
least friction. It is easier to buy the Legis
lature than to convince it by argument.—
Tweed used to say it was cheaper to buy a
Legislature than to elect one. The thing for
the Constitutional Amendment reformers to
do is to let the parties elect the Legislature
without interference, and then send a man to
Albany with, say, $30,000, and he can hire
it to do anything that he wants done.
It is said the Devil tells the truth some
times, and even the New York Graphic may
blunder on it now and then. With a little
help from Boss Tweed and a strong support
of circumstantial evidence, we are inclined to
nut somo faith in the above statement from
that paper. Indeed, it seems that a dollar
can produce a more settled conviction of right
and wrong in a Yankee Legislator's mind,
whether Republican or Democrat, than anv
amount of argument or patriotism, and their
Congressmen appear to be open to the same
sort of conviction, judging from tho develop
ments of the last few years. Many of them
are not nearly so much stirred up by Mr.
llayes’.Southern policy as by his interdict
against contributions wrung from office-hold
ers for the purposes of bribes and other ex
penses for carding elections.
How It was Done.
Wc hear much about the removal of the
capital to Atlanta l>y tho radicals. 'This is
a mistake. The true history of the affair is
as follows:—At the time of the election of
members to the constitutional convention as
sembled, the Milledgeviile papers, the South
ern Recorder and Federal Union both came
out in the most earnest appeals to the citizens
of Milledgeville urging them by no means to
give the members elect any accommodations.
These articles, appearing week after week in
the local papers, so fired the minds of the peo
ple of Milledgeville that the members of that
convention could not obtain board and lodg
ing during the time of its sittings; and up
on this fact being ascertained Gen. Pope, then
the military govenor, ordered the convention
to meet in Atlanta, and incorporated an arti.
cle in the constitution of 1308 removing the
capital to that place. These facts cam be
proven, and an examination of the files of
the papers named will prove the assertion
here made.
We know that the convention oflß6B was
composed of material obnoxious to a very
great majority of the respectable people of
the state ; but while that is the case, we do
not think it is fair to saddle the blunder of
Milledgville upon Atlanta and her citizens,
who had nothing to do with it, and who voted
22G, as shown by lecord in'the comptroller
general’s office, against the constitution of
1868, which carried the capital to their city.
; It is admitted that our people made a great
mistake when they refused to vote upon the
constitution of 1868, and to have sent our
best men to it, but we did not do it, and the
consequence cannot now be changed. But if
i the capital had been left in Milledgeville in
1868, would it be allowed to remain there
| now? We think not. The necessities of the
people demand that it should be put in a more
convenient place, and they are going to put
it there. — Craw fordville Democrat .
A New Spelling Lesson from the East.
RUSSIA'S VICTORIES DRAWING HEAVILY ON
OUR RESOURCES.
We have concluded that there is a great
deal in a name. Just as we had about deci
ded, after nine months gestation, that the
old Turkish General, in Kars, was named
Mourktar, or Murkta, or Mukktar, or Mukh
ta, or Murkhtar, or Murhkta Pasha, along
comes anew lot of spelling which is bound
to consume our Christmas holidays. What
chance is there for a follow to win a half Sa
turday on the orthography of the following
list: Gen. Ghourko, Lutchenitzka, Gourneji,
Jovaneififsil and Gurnji-Dubnik, or for peo
ple with such a nomenclature to carry oil a

The Political Horizon,
For the Democracy of the United States, was
never brighter. The dark clouds of Republi
can and Radical corruption and misrule seem
now to have a silver lining. A prudent course
on the part of the Democracy will, ere long,
insure a complete victory. Ohio and Cali
fornia have gone Democratic ; and on the 6th
da}’ of next month there will be fourteen more
State elections, the most of which will, no
doubt, go Democratic. In the United States
Senate the Republicans have five or six ma
jority, but the Democrats have a majority of
fourteen in the House of Representatives.
Congress convened on the loth instant. The
President's message is before the people,
lion. Samuel J. Randall, of Pennsylvania,
Democrat, has been elected Speaker of the
House. Hon. John M. Harlan, of Louisville,
Ky., fills the vacancy in the Supreme Court
of the United States.
The Bishop of Hereford was examining a
school class the other day, and among other
things asked what an average was. Several
boys ploaded ignorance, but one at last repli
ed : “It is what a hen lays on.” This an
swer puzzled the Bishop not a little, but the
boy persisted in it, stating that he had read
it in his little book of facts. He was then
told to bring his little book, and on doing so
he pointed triumphantly to a paragraph com
mencing : “The domestic hen lays on an
average fifty eggs each year.”
