ghe §cr<ihl. THURSDAY, SF.PT'BF.H 13, 1*77. 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. Correspondent. ( 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.
