COLUMBUS HEARD, Proprietor.
J. H. LEWIS, • • • - Editor.
All this newspaper talk about Os
man Pasha being K. Olay Crawford
of Tennessee, is quite interesting an J
romantic, but like all similar sensations,
it is about to fall through. The Turk
i>h Legation in Washington tell us
that Osman Pasha was born in Asia
Minor, and is consequently a loyal Mus
sulman.
The Capital Question.
The Atlanta Constitution of last
Saturday published a list of some
of the papers in the State, that
favored locating the Cupital in
Atlanta, and in this list it places
iTie OREENEBBORO' HERALD.”—
Now, where the Constitution gets
its information, wc are unable to
say. There has been very little
said in the Herald about the Cap
ital, except in the letters written
for this paper, from Atlanta - The
author of these letters lives in that
city, and of course he advocates
the claims of that city. We have
refrained from entering the fight
at all, heretofore, because we de
sired to study carefully the claims
of both cities, and form as correct
;an idea, aa we could, of where the
Capital ought to be. Now,accord
ing to the principle that a law is
not a law unless it receives the
sanction of the people, Atlanta is
not really the Capital of the State,
and the question is, shall the Cap
ital be removed from Milledgville.
Some papers in the State seem to
have lost sight of the question of
economy and the people's welfare
in this matter, and are trying to
win voters by heaping abuse upon
either Atlanta or Milledgville It
is merely a question of economy
with us, and we are obliged to
think that it will cost the State
less to have her Capital at Milledg
ville than anywhere else. The
Stale owns public buildings in both
places ; those in Atlanta can he
voarl'ty r,ld • r. ir\ \lillo,Lrt
vine cannot. The idea that Mill
edgeville cannot accommodate the
(public officers, is mere bosh. Keep
;tibo Capital there, and we have it
pfroiu good authority that in 1 ss
than four months, there will be
ample hotel accommodations for
every member of that body, besides
other State officers. We don’t
want too much room. There are
genetally too many outsiders hang
ing around Legislatures, anyhow.
And, besides all this,there pops in
to our mind, every now a,ad ■ttren,
the way in which the Capital was
moved, and it strengthens our con
viction that Milledgeville -ought to
have it,
The l*osfiiias(ei - -€ieiici - al.
When Hayes had nothing else ;o do,
on his (rip through the States, he
would trot out Key, and let him tell
the people how wickedly we Southern
peop.e had acted, and how repentant
he was, etc. You tecolleet his “repen
tant rebel” speech in New England,
several weeks ago. Well, his master
shoved him forward again last week,
at M arietta, Ohio, and in his cringing
manner, he said, among other things :
“Slavery was established by the Con
stitution of our lathers. It was estab
lished by the u.en of the North as well
as of 'he South. It was a relic of a
former age. As the ages progressed,
; as the country progressed, the free
States became profoundly impressed
with the idea that slavery was wrong,
th it it was a great national crime, that
it was the sin of the age, that it was a
sin against heaven and liberty.”
"If Hayes does conclude to make
Georgia a visit, we venture to say he
will ba decidedly more welcome, if he
leaves th if prodigal’s son at headquar
ters I-f he empes among our people
with his New England ideas, he will
soon discover that Georgia, at least
ihas no sympathy with his cowardly
•views.
For the Ilerald.
Mr. Editor : Having recently made
a trip along the lines of the Georgia
and the Macon and Augusta Uailroads.
I li&y£ had ample opportunity to ex
amine .the crops in the sections through
which these road* pass. The crops in
your immediate section surpass any
that I have seen elsewhere. The corn
crop is in many instances an entire fail
ure aod the cotton is .nearly all small,
but in some instances pretty well fruit
ed. A late fall will make it pan out
better than is now expected.
While in Milledgeville I visited the
‘‘Walls of our Father*.” It is un
doubtedly a magnificent building and
should by all means be utilized for
Legislative purposes - During the late
trial of Michael Shaw for murder, iu
Baldwin county, the Representative
Hall, in this building held an audience
• Cover eight hundred people who were
eager listeners to ihe proceedings in
the trial. It is all bash to talk about
the Legislative halls of the old Capital
not being large enough to comfortably
seat the Legislature. Either the Sen
ate or Representative Halls will con
tain double the members of both
branches and seat them comfortably.—
The people of Georgia are bound by
every impulse of patriotism and honor
to return the Capital to the pure at
mosphere of M illcdgcville. 'The peo
ple cannot afford to be taxed, either.for
anew Capital building in Atlanta, and
just so sure as it is kept there they will
be taxed and taxed heavily.
v* mi write you again whenever op
poitunity offers. Yours.

( APITiL WES.
Atlanta, Wednesday, Sept. 12.
Perhaps there never was a time
in lho history of Georgia when the
political problems of the future
were so illegible. As mixed and
troubled as national politics are,
those in our own State seem even
more so Who can tell whether
there will ever he ano her national
contest fought on the same ground
and by similar opposing parties, as
that recent struggle, whose dis
graceful result will ever remain a
shame to our entire system ? To
many calm thinkers and acute ob
servers of political movements, the
conviction has slowly come that
the times are ripe for a great revo
lution in sentiment, and even this
possibility has inspired in many
men of ability the ambition to lead
this grand new departure. It can
be reasonably maintained that one
of the great parties in the nation
must soon die or change the issues
upon which it stands; for it Jives
in the past and maintains its pow
er nnlv hv it - ' - . •>*•,!(- nf .load
issues and the blind force of pas-
sior. and prejudice which is fast
failing. A change in the theories
or the of tactics one national party
will necessitate a change in the
other, so that a calm look at the
future would indicate that the next
great political fight will b/2 for dif
ferent ca.uses ithan those which have
agitated tl\e country for twelve
years past. The great question of
home rule in the South, for which
the democracy has struggled soi
persistently, is now settled, laid to
rest by the wise action of the lead
er )f the other party who conceded
all that his opponents asked. Other
questions have also been settled or
are TaSt disappearing before more
important issues. Looming up are
the great problems of national
finance and national trade, curren-
cv and tariff, and it is not improb
able that these will form the issue
in the next struggle that will agi
tate national politics. But in our
owncitate the future looks even more
mixed. For seven years we have
had the rule of one party in which
has been found almost the entire
virtue, intelligence and wealth of
the State. A.t .every election there
has been a one sided fight and an
over whelming victory for the side
of intelligence and strength. We
have had no excited political cam
paigns, nothing to bind the party
close together and league its dis
cordant elements .into a united op
position against ,gn opposition that
demanded its best .strength. The
result has been as it always is. We
have been so unanimous that w.e
have become factious. Not having
any foe worthy of our combined
strength we have exercised our
combativeness by fighting each
other, and have brought matters
to such a pass that the Democratic
party in Georgia to day is in a pe
culiar position. There are in it
many discordant which
are growing so strong tyid so bold
as to threaten its disruption. The
great principle on which the party
stood when it had a bard fight
with Radicalism was organization,
and without a firm organization it
could not have risen. The idea
was kept up. It was proclaimed
that the nominee of the party for
any office had a right to command
the party’s fealty and it was politi
cal treason to go against him
Independentism in every form wfhp
bitterly denounced and many an
ambitious man dug his own grawe
by a bold attempt to fight this or
ganization policy. It found no
defeat until 1874 when Parson
Felton swept the seventh District
and put the organized Democracy
to rout with his straggling follow
ers from tho mountains. Two
years after he more completely de
feated tho same organization and
left the seventh district literally
without the control of any party.
Tlie same game came near sue- -
ceeding in the ninth district, and
probably will win at the next elec
tion. Tn the fourth district thpre
was a warm contest in which many
of the ablest men of the Democrat
ic party sided with the independ
ent. These things all indionte
thing and though it may sound
harsh, yet it seems to be the truth.
The people are losing all idea ol
loyalty to the Democratic party
and are coming more and more to
look at lhe claims of the men who
ask their suffrage and the princi
ples they represent. Acute politi
cians are aware of this state of
the public mind and they are mak
ing good use of it, though they
work silently. There has been a
great deal of talk about the forma
tion of an independent party in
Georgia and there is more in this
talk than some people think. It
is a well known Tact in certain cir
cles that there are now acuse po
liticians who are laying the wires
for the next Gubernatorial canvass
and base nil their calculations of
success on the idea that the people
are tired of a one sided party. The
next Congressional election "ill
show at least two democrats in the
field in every district in the Sta’e
and the chances of the independ
ents, in three out of the nine dis
tricts, are at least equal to those of
the nominated condnlate. .In poli
ties there must be two parties. In
Georgia there was practical]!y but
one and hence jt is leginiung to
split. Tfa.e negroes who corn pose
¥"*• 'r* rv -.-*v/t1 M3 *ir
the State, will be as apt to go with
one as the other of these Democrat
ic sections. The present out look
is not agreeable to some of os, but
yet. we must look at the on after as
it stands. No man v>ho will care
fully consider the whole Sut<o of
the case can sav that the Di ieo
cratic party in Georgia, is unyted.
It has nothing to he united against.
Personal ambition, petty feuds, po
liticl disappointments are the in
centives which are inspiring some
of the ablest and most influential
men in the State to disrupt the
party ,and they may succeed. Of
couise these divisions and dissen
tinns have no relation to national
politics for Georgia is j’Ct a solid
Democratic state when national is
su s are presented. Tbe present
dissentions indicate that all local
organizations are being - violently
attacked and that the State De
mocracy, when it tries to contrcd
the next State election, will find a
more formidable foe than it has met
for years, a foe that will come out
of its own ranks. AJACKS.
