ISAAC OAKES, sep7-td Ordinary. SUNDAY SCHOOL CELEBRATION. An Interesting Occasion at Bethlehem Church, Jackson County. Editor of the Gainesville Eagle : On the 12th inst., according to previous announcement, the Sunday School at Mul berry Academy, Bethlehem church, Jackson county, gave a very recherche and profitable entertainment in the way of a Sunday School celebration. There was a large concourse of people in attendance, including both old and young, and many of the best citizens of the county. The following ia a programme of th pro ceedings of the day. The school met at half past eight o’clock, formed a procession, r od, under the supervision and instruction of Prof. P. H. DeLane, a gentleman of fine culture and a splendid educator, marched around, with banner and music, for ten or fifteen minutes, when it was conducted to the ros trum, (prepared by the school for the day), where prayer was offered by Rev. M. H. Eakes; after which the Superintendent, Mr. David Smith, (and, by the way, a very genial and high-toned young man) gave the school and audience a brief but well-timed talk, and then proceeded to introduce the speakers of the day, as follows: Speech—by Willie Rutherford. Subject: Truth. Essay—by Sudie Rutherford. Subject: How to be Happy. Speech—by Lewis McDonald. Subject: Kissing. Essay—by Miss Emma Chosewood. Sub ject: Sabbath School. Essay—by Miss Josie Anderson. Subject: Duty. Essay—by Miss Lula Rutherford. Subject: The Object of Sabbath Schools. Speech—by Jesse Blalock. Subject: Ne cessity and Importance of Sabbath Schools. Essay—by Miss V. G. DeLane. Subject: Speculative Philosophy. At the comclusion of Miss V. G. DeLane’s essay, the Superintendent announced that the hour for refreshment had arrived. The crowd began to disperse, when they found tables spread on the right, on the left, in the rear, and all around, with very rich and palatable viands, and to which all did justice. After an hour and a half spent in musio and social and pleasant conversation, the afternoon exercises were opened by a brief, impromptu and very pointed speech from Rev. M. H. Eakes, who made frequent references to Mr. Jesse Blalock’s speech. An essay was then read by Miss Fannie Stewart; subject: Courage. Speech—by W. P. DeLaperriere. Subject: Labor. Essay—by Miss Celestia Lott. Subject: Sabbath School Influence. Speech—by Allen Anderson; Subject: The Mind. The Superintendent then introduced to the audience the leading orator of the day, Rev. Robert McGarity, who entertained and held the audience spell-bound for over an hour, in a speech of great power. It was not only in terspersed with m*ny brilliant anecdotes, but some parts of it were exceedingly touching and pathetic. The speaker thus had his au dience laughing and shedding tears. It was decidedly the ablest speech of the day. Messrs. Jesse Blalock and Allen Anderson, as well as Dr. DeLaperriers, did remarkably well in their efforts. Mr. Jesse Blalock's speech was entirely extemporary and impromptu in the delivery, but, notwithstanding that, he spoke for nearly an hour, and his speech was not only enthusiastically received, but waß spoken of by both the speakers in terms of high com mendation. The ladies acquitted themselves handsomely in the delivery of their essays, and were spoken of by all present in very flattering terms. We do not wish to cast any reflection whatever on any of the young ladies who read essays; but it was generally con ceded that Miss V. G. DeLane (an exceed ingly beautiful and accomplished young lady) read the best essay of the day. It is true she had a good subject; but her delivery was characterized by remarkable clearness, dis tinctness, force and terseness, and was made a subject of praise. At the close of Mr. McGarity’s speech, prayer was offered by the Rev. W. B. Ruther ford, which closed the exercises of the day. The people now took their departure for their respective homes, with joyous hearts, to dream over the happy events of the day. Taking all in all, Mr. Editor, the occasion was an exceedingly profitable and entertaining one, and will not soon be forgotten. Selah. — Reaction Against the Constitution Before! the day of Election. Three weeks before the Convention adjourned an intelligent observer of public feeling would have bet odds that the new Constitution would and. r defeated by an overwhelming ' 1 Every one who could was kittijTh® ave body a rap, and predictingI'* 1 '* 1 80 larg £ labors would come to nothin* l* of the strongest Convention men were loudest in condemnation of what had been and was being done, and looked upon their offspring with the dismay and disgust of Frankenstein contem plating the monster his art had called into existence. But look you now, towards the close the tide turned with magical swiftness. Every newspaper in the State endorsed the new organic law; ©very statesman in office or in search of office looked upon the work and called it good; andfor three weeks nothing but applause has been heard. I shall be mistaken if there is not still another reaction before the December election. Ido not anticipate anything like the defeat of the new Constitution. Its defeat would, from present indica tions, seem little short of a miracle. But the majority in favor of ratifica tion will not be so overwhelmingly large as the friends of the instrument imagine. This is not a very material matter. Any majority is sufficient to make the Constitution the law of the land.—Cor. Chronicle and Constitu tionalist. When we look around us, how of ten we see men of good common sense, and frequently but little edu cation, who have raised large families and accumulated considerable prop perty, all by industry and economy. They have a little of everything to sell, be it high or low in price, and never go all for one crop to the exclusion of all others, just because it has hap-, pened to bring a much higher price than others for a time.—American x armor. GAINESVILLE, GA., FRIDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER 28. 1877. THE PRESIDENT AND SUITE INf AT LANTA. Gov. Colquitt Welcomes them to the Em pire State of the South—Mr. Hayes’ Reply. ■ _ GOV. COLQUITT S SPEECH OF WELCOME, i j Mr. President: In behalf of the people 1, Georgia, I bid you and your companions, are present, a cordial welcome. [Appl^W 6 * We are in the habit of opening our hear® lod our gates to strangers who come (j from beyond our borders, and to us tbfc~. ’ of hospitality is its own exceeding gq~ ward. Under any circumstances, the nve tality of which we trust Georgians mask. boast would make the President of thejfcygYy States heartily welcome upon our soil-e { , , heers.] But you, sir, come into out'*? loc * n0t,.,, President only. The vast itV ai 'Jl tl over y on preside, the stupendous poKadi which you wield as chief magistrate, thX dignity with y OUr name is invested b^ that power arc not sole ideas us in greeting to-day. 1 which is most prominent in ou* qf and greater than every other distil . j character you have illustrated [a'jNM e ’ that of peace-maker between bretmlWO-th tranged [immense cheering.] It is 1 fill the measure of the loftiest ambition, t<> TANARUS move fear and suspense from the hearts ol twelve million of people —your fellow-citizenl [great applause] and restore to them a senJ>| of repose and security. [Applause.] If tfyj agencies which lately brought forty of people into fearful find unhappy confli" , excited the attention of the whole world, moral purpose, the firm will of the fortun!*ifiC magistrate who is first to control and the spirit which raised this mighty strife, wi Attract the admiration and plaudits of th* good everywhere on earth where good will to man prevails. [Great applause] How strange —how passing strange —that men, brethren, of the same political heritage, can differ or doubt as to the beneficent effect of so holy an undertaking! [Applause.] We invite you, Mr. President, to the closest sorutiny. We are not mistaken, we do not deceive ourselves —we do not intend to deoeive others, when we say we mean peace; we mean union; we mean good government; we mean to give a helping hand to any and to all who shall honor, bles? and dignify the common country. [Applause.] The great moving cause of th®se hearty dem onstrations which have greeted you since you touched southern to be found in the generous confidence have extended to our professions. We know, Mr. President, that you believe what we say, and your magnani mous trust exacts no cringing, no servile guarantees. [Applause.] Differ though we may in party affiliations, yet without thinking of complications, or caring for them, we can assure yo of the sympathy and support of this good old commonwealth in all your ef forts in behalf of constitutional government, and the complete restoration of good will and fraternity between the states of this union. [Great cheers.] Again, sir, let me assure you of the pleasure which your presence here to day gives us, and of our ardent desire to make your visit and that of your companions pleas ant while you stay with us. In this spirit, and in the name of this people, I bid you and your noble wife, these gentle ladies and hon ored gentlemen, a most cordial welcome. [Great applause.] PRESIDENT HAYES was next introduced and greeted with great cheering. He said: Fellow citizens of Georgia: My friends of Georgia, I regret that by reason of a slight cold taken a day or two ago in a rain storm in East Tennessee, my voice is not in a condition to be heard, for the first few sentences of my address by any considerable portion of this vast audience, but if you will bear with me I suspect in a very few minutes I shall make myself heard. The day before yesterday at Chattanooga I met a committee of your oiti zens who desired me and urged me to extend with the party accompanying me, our trip to your beautiful and prosperous city. We were all very desirous to accept that invitaioo. We felt that, extended aB it was, it was a very great honor to us individually. We felt that it would be a very great pleasure to meet you at your homes, but our arrangements ahead had be*n made, and I supposed it was out of the question to extend the trip. Happily, our railroad friends assured us that by riding all of last night and all of to-night, we should be able to visit Atlanta, and at once those who were the healthier and stronger of the party urged by those of the other sex, consented to come. And now we are here. I wish to say in a single sentence, we are glad to be here. [Applause.] The very eloquent addres* to which we have listened, and especially the very encouraging statements we have heard fiorn the Governor of Georgia are surety of themselves,greeted as they have been, and en dorsed by the applause of this great audience —they are of themselves so great a gratifica tion that I would not, on any account, have missed the pleasure I have felt this morning. [Cheers.] I suppose that here, as everywhere else, I am in the presence of men of both great political parties. lam speaking, also in the presence of citizens of both races. I am quite sure that there are before me ve (( jp many of the brave men who fought in the coi( federate army. [Applause.] Some, doubW 3 less, of the men who fought in the uniof army. [Applause.] And here we are, RepuWi licans, Democrats, colored people, white peo-i pie, confederate soldiers and union soldiers, all of one mind and one heart to-day! [lm- 1 mense cheering.] And why should we r |P' be ? What is there to separate us lo’ ai r Without any fault of yours or any f * v mine, or of any one of this great ' Qer > D slavery existed in this country, pen a comps constitution ot the country. The tfy general was here, not hr his own volunt:] It was the m of his fatherfiVihat ne fag here., -t think it is safe to say that it was "’d.w/T cr i me hf our fathers that he was here ■ here however, and we of the two s-i in ons differed about what should be dor evaimr him. As Mr. Lincoln told us in,the wa ” were prayers on both sides for him a none sides found in the Bible confirmation c The V opinions, and both sideo fijj a ]iy u n( j er : nerioc settle the question by that lasi “ , arbitration—force of arms. You here 1 . J S° joined the confederate side, and fid ate bravely, risked your lives heroically in b'f n of your convictions, and can I, can any _ c man anywhere, fail to respect the man risks his life for his convictions ? cheers.] And as I accord that respect to yoi*D anc oelieve you to be equally liberal and geL-j] erous and just, I feel that as I stand before' you, as one who fought in the union army for his convictions, I am entitled to your respect. [Cheers.] Now that conflict is over, my friends, Governor Hampton repeated to you last night the way in which I have been in the habit of putting it since I came to the South. There were a larger proportion of trained sol diers in your army at first than in ours; in a much larger proportion you were good marks men and good horsemen, (and that is two thirds of a good soldier.) [Laughter.] But gradually we learned to ride, too, [laughter] and, as some of you know, gradually we learned to shoot. [Renewed laughter.] I happen to know how well you shoot. [Cheers.] Well, having learned how to ride and shoot, then it was a case of fight between Greek ani Greek, and when Greekmeets Greek you know what the conflict is; [cheers] and more than that, you know exactlv how it will terminate. That party in that fight will al ways conquer that has the most Greeks. [Laughter and cheers.] So, with no discredit to you and no special credit to us, the war turned out as it did. [Cheers.] Now shall we quit fighting? [Cries of “Yes, yes !”] I have been in the habit of telling an anecdote of General Scott and a statesman at Washing ton, in which the statesman said that as soon as the war was over and the combatants laid down their arms, we would have complete peace. “No,” said General Scott, “it will take several years in which all the powers of the general government will be employed in keeping peace between the belligerent non combatants !” (Laughter.) Now, I think we have gotten through with that, (Cheers) and having peace between the soldiers and the non-combatants, that is an end of the war. Is there any reason then, why we should not. be at peace forever more ? We are embarked upon the same voyage, upon the same ship, under the same old flag. Good fortune or ill fortune affects you and your children as well as my people and my children. (Cheers.) J kEvery interest you possess is to be promote * 11 peace. Here is this great city of Ail gathering to itself from all parts of tlrfi hat t%y its wealth and business by its rail )omstC and I say to you that every description ■) D j ne .g n stry and legitimate business needs. • v f* fe That is what capital wants.

Many good people had that idea. I had given 'that matter some consideration, and now, my i colored friends who have thought, or who '* have been told that I was turning my back upon the men whom I fought for, now listen ! After thinking over it, I believed that your right and interacts would be safer if this great mass of intelligent white men were let alone by the general government. [lmmense enthu siasm and cheering for several minutes.] And now, my colored friends, let me say another thing. We have been trying it for these sis months, and in my opinion no six months since the war have there been so few outrages and invasions of your rights, nor you so secure in yonr rights, persons and homes, as in the last six months. [Great cheering.] Then, my friends, we are all together upon one proposition. We believe, and in this all those who are here agree, in the union of onr fathers, in the old flag of our fthers, the con stitution as it is with all its amendments, and are prepared to see it fully and fairly obeyed and enforced. [Cheers.] Now, my friends, I see it stated oceasinally that President Hayes has taken the course he has because he was compelled to it. [Voices —“We don’t believe it!”] Now I was compelled to do it. [Ap plause.] I was compelled to it by my sense of duty under my oath of office. (Intense en thusiasm and cheers.) What was done by us was done, not merely by force of special cir cumstances, but was just and right to do it. (Cheers.) Now, let us come together. Let each man make up his mind to be a patriot in his own home and place. You may quarrel about the tariff, get up a sharp contest about the currency, about the removal of State capi tals and where they shall go to [laughter], but upon the great question of the union of the States and the rights of all the citizens, we shall agree forever more. [Great cheers] I shall not forget this reception and this greet ing. Every good purpose I have will be strengthened by what I have seen and heard here to-day. I thank you for the help it will give mo hereafter during my term of office. I bid you good morning. [Cheers. ] THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA. AND ITS INDORSERS. Notwithstanding tha immense amount of unfriendly criticism to which the University has been subjected dur ing the last three years, its indorse ments by properly constituted author ities are stronger to-day than they have ever been. These imdorsemeats are three viz: 1. The Board of Visitors. This Board consisted of ten gentlemen se lected by the Governor from various parts of the State. Eight of them were practical teachers, men of ability and experience; one was a lawyer and one an editor. They remained in Athens eight days during Term time. They saw the institution in actual operation, and made a most thorough and search ing investigation of its history for the past year, and of its present condition. The institution was probably never bo fore subjected to so rigid a scrutiny. The report of this thoroughly informed and impartial Board is in the highest degree complimentary. The most ar dent friends of the present administra tion must be hard to please if they are not satisfied with the report of this Board. . 2. The Board of Trustees. This body consists of thirty-two of the wisest, ablest and best men in the State. It would be impossible to duplicate this body in Georgia. The same number of men, equally known, equally hon eveu,?’ < IU o% confided in, cannot . Ug within our borders.

Six of the Trustees were j members of the Convention, to-wit: Jenkins, Lawton, Hammond, Toombs, Seward and Screven. The action of the Convention is more favorable to the University than any that has been taken by any Legislative body in the State for many years. With three indorsements above named, we think that the friends of the University and of the present ad ministration may well be satisfied. We know of our own knowledge that the morale of the students has been stead ily improving for several years, and that the discipline, while extremely mild is yet very efficient and thorough. After 'all that has been said, our in dorsement is of little avail, still, as we like tc< be in good company, we add our Lame to those of the Board of Visitors, the Board of Trustees and the donvention.—Athens Watchman.

A majority of those have hitherto been shut out from educational advantages, and when they return to their homes pano plied with the armor of truth and science, great will be the revolution wrought in that rugged mining country so long deprived of the humanizing in fluences of refined culture and mod ern progress. It is difficult to con ceive of the amount of good accom plished by this inchoate fane of litera ture under the plastic guidance of President Lewis and his associates. The labors of these gentlemen are simply prodigious, and their compen sation absurdly inadequate. Indeed a statement of their several stipends should call a blush to the cheek of every Georgian. The only donation made by the State the past year was the pitiful sum of $1,500, which was mainly expended in the payment of the freight upon the arms voted by the General Govern ment through the earnest efforts of Senator Gordon, and for necessary re pairs of buildings. The trustees and faculty ask, how ever, for $5,000 from the Land Scrip Fund to meet their present necessities Asa co-ordinate branch of the State University andjmunificient feeder of the same, this moderate request should certainly be granted. Nay, the Gen eral Assembly should vote besides a liberal appropriation to compensate the faithful labors of the self-sacrificing faculty, and provide a library fund also for the Institution. At present the students have access only to the private library of the President, which, though unusually complete, falls far short of their wants. The Legislature, at its last session, by statute, established a normal de partment in the college, and then, with characteristic eagacity, struck out from the bill the necessary appropria tion to carry it into effect. Still the faculty has done all that was possible in that direction, and no less than fifty students last fall were engaged as teachers in the schools of the State. As remarked above, thanks to the persistent efforts of Senator Gordon, Congress was induced to vote a quota of arms and accoutrements for the use of the military department of the school, and even consented to detail an army officer, First Lieutenant Gar rard, of Kentucky, (4th United States Artillery,) a graduate of West Point, as drill master, who, by the General Assembly, has been made also ex-of ficio a member of the faculty. The salary of this officer is paid by the United States Government. The uniforms of the students, manu factured by the Concord Mills, Cobb county, cost only $13,00 each, and, when made at home, SB,OO. Board can be had in good families at SIO.OO to $12.00 per month, whilst the tuition is virtually free. Too much praise cannot be awarded to President Lewis for his untiring de votion to the North Georgia College. Indeed, its progress and success seems to be the one idea of his existence. His associates also are said to be equally deserving, and fully compe tent to the discharge of thoiv duties. Only one of them, Professor B. Pal mer Gaillard, is personally known to This is descen , JV ancient South Carolina and we know him to era part and model in by a draft, ,\.. -respects. a facie be proud of this val iui*j mejfoxiliary to her noble Univer sity and uphold it with no niggard hand. In conclusion, we beg leave to say, that a movement is on foot to raise a library by the donation of books ftnd cash subscriptions, for the North Geor gia College. All contributions to that ifd will be thankfully received, and we are authorized to say that Mr. J. L.VSaulsbury will take charge of, and send to their proper destination all sums or. volumes bestowed for that purpose. We trust the response from Macon will be generous.” The New York Times makes the fol lowing sensible remarks: “You might nearly as well forget your church, your academies and school houses, as to forget your local paper. It speaks to ten times the au dience that your local minister does. It is read eagerly each day and each week from beginning to end. It reaches you all, and if it has a lower spirit and less wisdom than a sermon, it has a thousand times better chance at you. Lying, as it does, on every table in almost every house, you owe it to yourself to rally liberally to its support, and exact from it as able and heightoned a character as you do from an educator in your midst. It is in no sense beneath notice and care—unless you yourself are beneath notice and care—for it is your representative. In deed, in its character, it is the consum mation of importance, interest and welfare of you all. It is the aggregate of your own consequence, and you can not ignore it without miserably depre ciating you,’’selves.’ FAJ’TS AS TO THE CAPITAL AND TOE CAPITOL. [From the Atlanta Constitution.] Our last article closed with the mes sage of Governor Bullock, in which he undertook to excuse his borrowing $35,000 without previous authority, by pleading that it was necessary aud that Atlanta should pay it anyhow, and thus relieve the state. We resume the history at that noint. On the 23d of July, 1870, Gov. Bul lock again sent in a special message on this subject. House journal, pp 213.214, A joint committee was ap pointed and to them the following communication was addressed: Council Chamber, Atlanta, Aug. 1. 1870 Hon. E. Tweedy, chairman: Dear Sir—The ‘mayor and con/, oil of Atlanta desire to express to you, aud through you to the general as sembly of fieorgia, an earnest willingne-‘> Ol the part of the city to fully comply wft'i abv. - contract with the constitutional idavcunm-, not only the letter but the spirit Jt this con tract. But it was so brief as to be suscepti ble of various constructions, as has been evinced by the many discussions which have been had upon the subject. Now, therefore, to the end that this matter may be fully, fi nally and satisfactorily settled, the mayor and council are disposed to accede to the re quest of your committee, and hereby respect - fully propose to donate or issue one' hundred and thirty thousand and liars in the bonds of the city, to be used in ho purchase by the state of the building no v used as a state Capi tol; the property, when so purchased, to be come absolutely the property of the State. Also, to donate any unoccupied ten acres of land within the corporate limits that may be selected by the general assembly, to be used for Capitol purposes. Also, to furnish, free of cost to the state, a mansion suitable for the use of his excellency, the, governor of this State,for the term of ten years from June 1. 1868. The object of the city in being thus liberal is solely to permanently locate the capital in this city. The desire, therefore, to have it understood that in case the capital should be removed from Atlanta, that then the ten acres of land referred to should revert to the city; also the bonds (or their equivalent) of the city used in the purchase of the building referred shall be returned to the city. The committee reported on the 3d of August. They then stated the amount advanced by Bullock to Kim ball for heating, lightning, etc., at $54,- 500, urged tbs purchase of the opera house at{s3Bo,ooo and the acceptance of Atlanta’s proposition. Ib. 273 to 278 inclusive The proposition of Atlanta to donate $130,000, etc., and of Kim ball to sell at $380,000 were accepted. See acts of 1870 p. 494 and house jour nal of 1870, p. 381. Under that resolution the trade was consummated. The mayor and council could not issue the bonds till a proper plate could be made for them. A mortgage for $60,000 in favor of the Northwestern insurance company rested on the building. The State authorities, instead of requiring its payment or keeping back part of the states bonds as a security against it, arranged with Kimball to" hold a certificate from Atlanta as such secu rity and delivered him the State’s bonds. Accordingly the mayor and council delivered to the governor the following certificate: “State of Georgia, City of Atlanta. To all whom it may concern: The mayor and council of the city of Atlan ta hereby certify that there is due from said mayor and council to the Stateof Georgia, the seven per cent, twenty-year bonds of said city to the amount of one hundred and thirty thousand dollars, which said bonds said mayor and council proposed to contribute to ward the purchase by the State of Kimball's Opera House property, and which said propo sition has been accepted and the purchase made, said bonds to be delivered to the holder of this certificate upon the return thereof. This done in obedience to an ordinance of the city council this 23d day of August, 1870. William Ezzard, Mayor.” Attest: S. B. Dote, Clerk. Pending the negotiations, Kimball had said to the city council of Atlanta that if they would contribute $130,000 towards this purchase he would re ceipt thorn for $30,000, as they had delivered him that amount of their bonus for rent of the same building for a time which had not expired. There was no affirmative evidence that this was communicated to the general as sembly; but, in the executive office was found, with other paper, this receipt: Atlanta, Ga. August 25, 1870 Received of the city council of Atlanta $30,- 000 of the bonds which they have contracted to give the state, in part payment for the cw tol building. H, I. Kimball. On the 21st of December, 1870, IJ kl c Kimball had possession of said c 6 Jj cate, and demanded and received the bonds not before receipted for. How he got it we do not know. He and Bullock are now under indictment for larceny of the same. The city authori ties supposed he was the lawful “hold er” of the certificate and had a right to tho bonds. There was no reason to doubt the propriety of the delivery of the bonds. But subsequently a com mittee of the democratic general as sembly thought that the failure of At lanta to communicate to the general assembly that Kimball was actually to get but SIOO,OOO of bonds for the rea son aforesaid made her liable to pay that $30,000 with interest. Mean while the mortgage was foreclosed. By order of Governor Smith, Attorney General Hammond filed a bill against the city touching said matter. Though not believing she could be made so liable, yet to avoid the possi ble imputation of persisting in a wrong, Atlanta adjusted the matter by a con sent order of dismissal of the case and her purchase of the mortgage and agreeing never to enforce it so long as the capital remains at Atlanta, leaving the state to object to the enforcement of it in any event. No word of disapprobation of that adjustment has ever been uttered. The committee of the convention just ad journed reviewed and stated in detail the whole matter. Its majority report contains this statement: After a patient and careful investigation, we are satisfied that the city of Atlanta has acted in the utmost good faith, and that they have paid every dollar that they have agreed to pay toward the purchase of the Capitol building. * * * That the State has been greatly wronged in the purchase of the Capitol we do not doubt, but that the fault is attributable to the city authorities of Atlanta we have no rea son to believe. Nor did the minority report inti mate any dissent from the statements or conclusions of the majority. Journal of convention of 1877, pages 110 to 115, inclusive, and 487. I rom the history of the change of the seat of government to Atlanta contained in this and our former ar ticles, the following deductions are fair: 1. Atlanta knew that by many of the leading men of Georgia she was re garded as the proper place for the cap ital. She had been reduced to ashes by the federal army and had much sympathy from all true Georgians in her efforts to rebuild. She knew that were she the seat of government she would have such a pledge of stability and importance as would be greatly advantageous to her. It was natural that she should seek to obtain such a prize. NO, 39 2. She sought it honorably by offer ing to the State an equivalent for re moving, because the cost of moving had theretofore been a chief obstacle in her way. 3. She offered “buildings” suitable for public purposes, by published specifications, which would cost her $6,000, plus exemption of the opera house from taxes as yearly rental of a Capitol for ten years, and the general assembly of 1868 accepted the same as in full of her contract as to a Capitol. She also paid a hundred dollars per month as rental for a mansion. 4. She had offered nothings “buildings” and “rooms.” Yet Bullock said that \ ’. yd it to . , ,and claims s-u^,, t ssing, reia w'at Milledgeville can now T ANARUS“ r ' been g .ofomo dioas am. t ’/{ fever en joyed before in Gtk., .at was in vain that the contract was simply for “buildings,” and “rooms,” that the journals of the conven ion and general assembly did not support the strange conclusions of Gov. Bullock. Atlanta found herself bound by a contract for ten years which might cost her many thousands of dollars more than she anticipated. She found the demands against her in two years running up to $54 500, and she gave her bonds for $130,000 rather to rid herself of this contract, as coustrued by Bullock and his party, than to purchase the opera house, the price of which she knew to be too large. 5. When she made this last contract it was expressly stipulated that if the capital should be removed the State should repay the equivalent of those bonds They are worth par. 6. Finding that Kimball had gotten all her bonds without paying the mort gage, and that upon a technicality 6he was said to be liable therefor, she paid said mortgage fi. fa. aud and took a transfer thereof; but she agreed never to enforce it so long as the capital re mained at Atlanta. 7. We conclude this article in the words of the committee of the conven tion of 1877, viz: “After a patient and careful investigation, we are satis fied that the city of Atlanta has acted in the utmost good faith in all this matter.” If the State has been over reached by Bullock & Cos., so has At lanta. Wht Shall he Done with the Convicts? [From the Athens Georgian. ] The gravest question that has been or will be for the consideration of the people of Georgia is, what shall be done with the convicts of our State ? Certainly the present system of dis posing of them does not meet with general approval on the part of our people, and is indeed a libel upon our civilization. The clause in the new Constitution against using the credit of the State does not prevent the State from using the convict labor on works of public improvement These convicts are growing to be very numerous. They cannot be better used than to build roads, railroads, turnpikes, etc., for the development of the different sec tions of Georgia. For instance, what immense value to the whole State would be the employment of all North Georgia. By thus employing the con vict labor, in a few years, the country between Atlanta and the northern boundary of the State could be made one of the most prosperous and de lightful on the globe. Good transpor tation facilities for this section of country is now the greatest work be fore us of North Georgia, and should enlist a lively interest on the part of all the people who feel concerned for the general growth and prosperity of our Commonwealth, especially those of the cities whose markets would bo so advantaged by the opening up and developing of this section of the State so abounding in resources of material wealth. The convict labor can do this work and not cost the State a cent. The people nf this Vi’.atAiiy will feed and clothe th' *is ls aTrxire qi. o j,£>ecial prices for larger quantity in application. - . il’it nr4-iiif*- , * 'o.Oly tlhj ositlo ituT make of a g State convicts, and such as will ro . g the general approval of the who 10 *" ¥ pie, prove a humane, healthful, j able, and certainly a more aocop> manner of disposing of this unfoUfen. nate class than the present system. We cannot claim to be certain on this point, but are decidedly inclined to believe that the New Constitution does not interrupt the present arrangement with the Marietta and North Georgia Railroad in regard to its employment of the convict labor agreed upon by the act of the last General Assembly, and greatly trust that the progress of this road so needed in North Georgia and which will prove so valuable to our whole State, will not be disturbed. We shall have much more to say upon this all-important question in the future issues of the Georgian. The Essex County (N. J.) Press gets away with the Chronicle and Constitu tionalist thusly: The fun of the “patent outside” and “ ob scure village ” is, that the publisher of the Press does not now, and never did, though a publisher for fifteen years, print a “patent out side” and that the obscure village of Newark is a city whose population is 120,001*- It is the third manufacturing city in the United States, and the first according to population. If the editor of the “obscure” Chronicle and Constitution puts his foot in his mouth that way every time he opens it, the boys must have lots of fun in Augusta. Ignorant people should be seen and not heard. The Press has several clubs in the State of Georgia, and ex pects more. .
