4 '\V6qrl^:,'|;; «r> *W ****T\_ W • • !^-3rP ’ Louisville, Gra: FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 8,1871. Milladgevills v». Athens. Tills is tho beading o{ a somewhat peevishly written article in the last Southern I \Vatehn\an relative to the lo cation of tbc ‘‘State Agricultural, Me chanical. and Military College.” Our coUmporary, after quoting a couple ol paragraphs taken from an Exchange in which Milledgeville is assumed for ccr tain reasons ns -the most eligible end practicable place, remarks, “llere is richness.—We give it just aB we find it, but we believe it originally appeared in one of tho Milledgeville papers. Cer tain it is, that one of the Milledgeville delegates to the Rome Convention, made the same showing in substance.— Nothing like it has occurred before, ex cept perhaps, the devil’s proposition ‘to trade off all the kingdoms ol the earth.' What title Ims Milledgeville to any ol the property named ? Athens might with equal propriety tender the Capitol, Pres ident’s Mansion, Treasury Department, Patent Office, Post Office,* Agri cultural Department and grounds at Washington City! She has as good a title to all that as Milledgeville lias to the property named” (that is the old Capitol, Executive Mansion nnd Peni tentiary Square— Ed. Rec.) “and it is worth ono thousand times more mcney 1” There are several little “weak points” in these remarks of the Athens ‘Watch man’ —the first of which is, that it can not be shown in any thing that has ap peared in a Milledgeville paper, or which any delegate to Rome from the Farmers’ Club of Baldwin County stated in the Convention, where any right of o/encr ah ip was claimed by, or for Milledgeville, to the old State House of Georgia, the Penitentiary Squaro, or Executive Man sion. It is claimed, however, that these buildings arc commodious, and located n Milledgeville, and not only unoccu pied but wholly useless to the State and a source of expense. It is claimod fur ther, that the people of Georgia own these buildings anJ tho grounds; and that the legitimate purposes of the Cap itol and Exocutivo Mausiou, have been destroyed by removing tho Seat of Gov ernment ; thus breaking the State's plighted faith to the property holders of Milledgeville and entailing groat dam age upon them. It is also claimed, that the Legislature of Georgia have tho right and power to appropriate these vacant buildings in whatever way it may deem proper; and it is moreover cm 2"iatically claimed and asserted, that it is better and cheaper to donate them to Me Agricultural College contemplated, than to suffer them to remain idle and go to decay ! If thero is any "richness” in suggesting, under such aspects, a pref erence for Milledgeville—or if tho peti tion of her citizens has any similarity with tho devil’s attempt to bribe his j Lord and Master, it must float in the ( brains of the "Southern Watchman” and no where else. Again, we regard as ex- i ccedingly weak, the Editor’s argumeut 1 ol Athens having as good a title to the j Washington City public property, as Miiicdgcvilio has in and over Georgia’s deserted halls within her corporato lim- : its. lie was hard pushed when he could gay nothing morn conclusive against their quasi rehabilitation, knowing as he must, that their original use can scarce ly if ever bo revived. So far as real i ownership extends, Milledgeville has only an integral part—but whatever ad vantage location confers, she may justly claim priority and right of guardianship, over all others. psyThc Editor of tho Daily un -True Georgian, at Atlanta, in its issue of the 28th ult. says: "Tho Bourbon dynasty is about tho nastiest thing which ever pinued itself to the coat tail of Domoc* racy. Now, behold it in Atlanta ! dead, the deadest thing among the corpses of ignorance and bigotry.” The allusion to the political Editor of the Atlunta Sun as Me Bourbon dynas ty and from whom the gross billingsgate i above, was designed to elicit some kiud 1 of notice, is unmistakable, and can only 1 provoke the silent pity of Mr. Stephens, rather than his condescension to reply. Besides, we would remind Dr. Bard of the extreme recency of his remarkable feat by which be ‘pinned’ himself to the Democratic tail, and with what apparent subserviency and honest devotion ho had up to the very moment, daDgled upon'tbe skirts of ultra radicalism, in all its hues and shapes. In bis advo cacy of tho ‘new-departure’ mistake of a portion ol'the Democratic brotherhood— so far from his evincing knowledge of the Democratic creed, or the true prin ciples of pur original representative re publican Government, he acts (uninten tionally we hope) more the part of a se cret Spy, or one anxious to cicate schism aid multiply ’dissensions, than to heal ofcaciljrdLcoujeßt. Familiar with de p»tui offer the VRy tlicks of a turncoat, bjjis lost lets audSiUs.-ati.-tied unless fo menting or engaging in some new achciuo or other; all which we candidly advise Dr. Hard will never establish fame or fortune on any firm and eudming foun dation. j Wq Jhaye no fear of final re sults, of that the party of the people will divide when the time arrives for the , gifted encouuter with the invaders of the Constitution and the lurking dis ruptc-rg of our national Union, however much they may dispute as to the plau of the battle. „ Health of Charleston. The Niws of the 30t!i says: “The yellow fover continues to excito the com munity, though the disease, as yet, ex hibits no especial feature of activity in its spread or of malignity in-its type. Several new eases are reported, and du ring the twenty-four hours ending at noon yesterday, there were six deaths resulting from the fever. The hegira of unacclimated residents during the pa6t two days hns been very extensive, and will continue to-day. All tho trains go out woll filled. In the event of tho fe ver assuming tho proportions of an epi demic, tho fewer subjects that remain within its reach the better.” The State Eoad Cooks- Atlanta, Aug, CO.—The archives of tho State Road were to-day turned over to a committee of citizens. This action was the result of a scries of prosecutions for the last several days, during which the late Auditor, Treasurer, General Ticket Agent, Master Mechanic and sev eral merchants have been held to bail to answer for frauds on the Treasury. Tho road is the exclusive property of the State, and lias been managed by the Re publican party of Gc. rjia. Have You any Old Cigar Boxes?— The Chicago R<publican says there lias been a recent judicial decision touching the tax upon cigars, making it a penalty of 8.70 not to destroy the box after tho cigars shall have been taken therefrom. This applies net only to the regular dealer in tho article, hut to the consu mer, and tho individual who lias a dozen empty cigar boxes “kicking around” his house or in tho possession of his chil dren, had better put his foot in them, or institute a saving? bank in order to meet the penalty, since the law does not ex cuse iguorance. Damage to the Hive Crop. —The dam age to tho rice crop, from the recent sturms prevailing in this vicinity, says the Savannah Republican of the 29th, has been more serious than was at first anticipated. Thu forward lice which had been cut and was lying in tbc fields stacked, was totally swept away. We bavo seen letters from two heavy plant ers, who estimate their loss of tho grain thus harvested in the aggregate between eight and nine thousand bushels. Other planters have doubtless lost correspond ingly. The growing crop, not cut, has not been so generally destroyed, but has been seriously injured both in the head and tho straw, from long continuance of the wind and water. I Those who think tho oil wells of Pennsylvania have played out, may be surprised to learn that tho production of petroleum in this country' is steadily on the increase. In 1860 wc exported but one and a lialf millions of gallons ; in ISGS it had reached ninety-nine mil lions, and last year it was one hundred and forty-one millions. The increase in the flow of oil in Tnnnsylvatiia, Biuce 1867, has been nearly titty- per cent. A letter written by a I’olish exile in Siberia, and published in the Galician Dzinnik, gives a heart-rending account of tho sufferings which the :ncu who par ticipated in tho insurrection of 1803 have to undergo. 110 says that their food is utterly insufficient, mid that the Russian officers who net as their keepers treat them with terrible brutality. Wo men of noble descent are frequently flog ged for trifling infractions of discipline until seuseicss, and prisoners who at tempt to escape receive invariably one hundred lashes with tho knout. Tho writer of the letter says that two-thirds of the l’oles who were transported to Siberia eight years ago are dead, and he appeals to the civilized press throughout tho world to denounce the conduct of the Russian Government. Bln Butler. —Ben Butler said, in a speech the other day, that Miles Staud ish, tho old Puritan, was fortunate be cause be lived in a time when there were ao newspapers. The New York Sun j thinks that B. B. mentioned only a mi nor point, and that Miles Staudish’s more | extreme felicity was that lie lived at a j time when there wero no Ben Butlers. , Wo concido with the Sun, fur old Miles | doubtless had a supply of silver spoons, | which would not have remained in his possession long had the Beast been about Thb Causeless Waii on Coue.v.— Tbe New York Post condemns the war on Corea, and says it hopes that this last attempt of our Government to diplomat ic work in the East at the canon’s mouth may ho the last time our Christian civ ilization shall appear in arms before the heathens and barbarians to extort fiom them grants which they have the right to withhold. ; Flake’s (Texas) Bulletin, of August i 23d. sayß: "In the recent difficulty at j Bastrop, the State police were drunk, i and fired some ten shots at n Mr. Jost. j lie returned the fire and killed a State j policeman. Tire firing took place near the storo of a Mr. Joseph Holter, and his children were present at tho time. Mrs. Holler, the mother, seeing tho af fray, and fearing the safety of her littlo ones in so tcrrillo an exposed condition, was completely overcome. She fainted in her great fright and terror and died Slro was buried in tho Jewish Cemetery atLaGrauge.” Foreign News. London, August 30.—New York city loans are still excluded from quotation in Berlia. m > M Fresh disturbances lrav# occurred be tween the people Off Strasbourg and the German troops, in which several on both* sides were’wounffed. The cholera has appeared at Hamburg There were sixteen deaths at Altona during the past week. The disease con tinues to ravage Konigßburg. On the 27th one hundred new cases and twenty uioe deaths wero reported. On the 28th eighty new cases and fifty deaths. Paris, August 30. —Tho members of the Government have agreed upon a bill for the prolonging of Thiers’ power, which slightly modified the Committee’s bill. It will receive tbe unanimous sup port of the Left. It is stated that Gambetta withdraws bis proposition for tbc dissolution of the Assembly. Garibaldi has recovered. Repose on ly is necessary for bis complete restora tion to health. There was a violent demonstration in the streets of Romo to-day. A drunken crowd led by Tognetti rushed through the streets shouting against priests.— The soldiers dispersed them. Several shots were exchanged, and one was killed and mauy wounded. Vienna, August 30. —The Free Press says that a league for tho preservation of the peace of Europe has been formed at Gastcrn, aud that Austria, Germany and Italy, and perhaps Prussia, are its adhe rents. Prince Leopold of Hobeuzoliern, whoso candidature for the Spanish throne last year was ono of the causes of the war between Germany and France, has left the Prussian service, aud will devote himself hereafter exclusively to farming. Abd-el-Kader owns a house in Paris. It was built in 1564, and is fitted up in true Oriental style. Prince Napoleon, who is on friendly terms with tbe ex- Emir, superinteuded its construction. The house was slightly damaged during the bombardment. The Ilinesville, (Liberty Cos.. Ga.,) Gazette says: The continued rains are very damaging to crops—corn is beaten down, and is sprouting or is rotting— cotton also beaten out aud buried in the sand—potatoes spoiling in the ground— nnd still the rain falls in torrents al most daily. Meeting of the Citizens ofMcSnf fie County- Tiiomson, Ga., August 31, 1871. Pursuant to a call through the Mc- Duffie Journal, a largo number of the citizens of McDuffie assembled at the Court House to-day. Judge James B. Neal was called to tho Chair and George P. Stovall request ed to act as Secretary. The Chair then stated the object of the meeting to be to consider the proprioty of petitioning the next Legislature to liavo tho cap itol moved back to Milledgeville from Atlanta. On morion, a committee of three, consisting of Col. M. C. Fulton, F. M. Usry aud J. Hillman, were ap pointed to draft resolutions for tho action of the meeting. Tbe committee report ed the felloe ing resolutions, which were unanimously adopted: I Vhercas, Tho seat of government was moved from Milledgeville to Atlanta against the wishes of our people, nnd, as we believe, of a large majority of the intelligent citizeus of the State ; Wlurcas, Tho eld capitol buildings at Milledgeville aro much belter suited for the purposes of government than thoso now occupied in Atlanta ; and, moreo ver, can be obtained without cost, being the property of the State, a matter ol gravo immportanco to our people in tbeir impoverished condition ; Whereas the city of Atlanta has fail ed to comply iu good faith, if we aie correctly informed, with her voluntary pledge to furnish nil necessary public buildings for the use of the government, for ten years, without cost to the State ; Whereas, The Opera House and the Governor’s Mansion have been purchased at enormously high prices, and we be lieve iu reckless disregard of the wishes and tiue interests of our people, and, finally, Whereas, The administration of the State government, since its removal to Atlanta has been both corrupt and ex travagant, squandering absolutely millions of tbe public funds aud wan tonly imposing heavy burdens of taxa tion, which it is impossible for our people to bear longer without uttor ruin and bankruptcy ; therefore, Resolvtd Ist. That wc, the people of McDuffie county, earnestly appeal to our fellow-citizens “from the mountains to ! tbe seaboard,” who arc in favor of hon esty and economy in tho administration of tho government, and opposed to the reckless squandering of the public funds in tbe purchase of U. I. Kimball’s Opo ra State House, Bullock Governor’s Man sion at fabulous prices, and to other liked venality and corruption, which have characterized the government since its removal to Atlanta, to unite with us in demanding of tho legislature at its approaching session, bucli action as shall be deemed best calculated to effect the speedy removal of tho beat of gov ernmeutfrom Atlanta back to tbe old capitol buildings at Milledgeville, so long renowned for tue eloqiicuce, states manship, patriotism, fidelity, and hon esty of our public men, and now hallow ed by glorious memories of the latter days of the Republic. Resolved, 2d. That wc hereby in struct our Representatives and Senators to advocate tho removal of the capitol back to Milledgeville, and to favor tho sale or rent, as shall be decreed best hv them, of the Opera State Houso and the Bullock Governor’s Mansion, so called, in tbe city of Atlanta, so as to protect whatever interest the State rightfully owns in said buildings. Resolved, ild. That we candidly invite the co-operation of tbc good peo ple of our State, and respectfully sug gest the bolding of county meetings to consider tho question of the removal of tbc State capitol back to Milledgeville. . The meeting then adjourned. James B. Neal, Chairman, Geo. P. Stovau,i Secretary. .Tfais Nashville Union and American learns from a friend from Lebanon, Ten nessee, that'll few nights since several young men iu disguise went to the place of Mr. Baker Barns, ten miles above Lebanon, for the purpose of scaring some negrws living there. It seems tbai Mi. Harris trad notified them, or rather given ootiee, that he would not allow them to come there; so when they came, ac cording to his instructions, the old ne gro man fired on them, which resulted iu the death of one of tbe party, whose namo was Lyons. His* comrades car ried him some distance, aud left him at a house, withoo'»giving their'names. The Potcrsbnrg (Va,) Index has the following in regard to “the richest man in the South.” The Index snya: “John Hopkins, a Maryland Quaker, who began life in Baltimore as a small grocer, by industry has brought himself to be the richest man south of Masou and Dixon's line. He is now the largest stockhold er in tbe Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, $8,000,000, much of which he has given to cudow John Hopkins .Univer sity, on the outskirts of Baltimore city. Sir Hopkins is a plain, aged gentleman, still diligent and fully in business, and was one of the projectors and endowers of the line of iron steamships between Baltimore and Bremen.” In Pound. —Throe of Grant’s horses st:ayed abioad in Washington on Friday and were putin tho pound. The groom of the imperial stud tried to induce the pound master to deliver up the animals on the dead-head principle, but the offi cial was iuexorable, and the administra tion was mulcted SG. The World adds: "Subscription lists at the Custom House arc now in order.” Grant’s Cottage. —lt appears that Grant’s cottage at Lohg Branch was partly the gift of professional gamblers and sportiug men. Tho Hudsou Gazette says: Humiliating ns Grant’s course has been throughout bis presidential term, bow much does it add to that humiliation in the eyes of the staid people of the Uuited States to have it publicly pro claimed that his princely seaside resi dence—where ho dallies away the days and weeks and months that should be devoted to the duties of his office—is in part the gift of professional gamblers and sporting men ! The Nashville Banner of Sunday says: "Both the Gallatin and Hartsville pa pers, which came last night, have brief accounts of a fierce bail storm northwest of Sumner, Tenn., ouc day last week. On many ‘new ground’ fields, after tho storm, every stump of much size could be seen, so flatly was the corn blown to the ground. Much of the corn is said to have been torn up by the roots or broken off. Much timber was destroy ed. Tho thermometer dropped down to 63.” Washington, August 30.—Tho De partment of Stato has issued two circu lars, urging claimants to prepare and present claims at once. No papers al ready filed can he withdrawn, but ad ditional papers way bo filed. Claimants must prepare for themselves proof of claims. Upon application the State De parlmcnt will furnish a copy of the trea ty and instructions regarding the mode of preparing proof. Mobile, Ala., August 28. —The low pressure steamer Ocean Wave, exploded her boiler at half past five o'clock on Sunday afternoon, at ljpint Clear wharf. About 200 oxcurtionists were on board. From fifty to sixty were killed nnd wound ed. A portion of the bodies were brought to this city by steamers Fountain and Annie last night. Others will be brought to-day. Efforts arc being made lo re cover the drowned. Tbe cause of the disaster has not been ascertained. In vestigations will bo made. Out of a creole family, consisting of seven per sons, six were killed. The Captain, en gineer and pilot wero killed. Only three officers oscapod. Columbus, 0., August 30.—Pendleton and Thurman spoke here. Pendleton, after eulogizing Valaudighatn, repeated his Ovcrlaud speech. Thurman said the Democrats interpose no objection to the Thirteenth Amendment, but were as strongly opposed to the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendineuts as ever. He de nonneed tho reconstruction measures of Congress, claiming that all the reconstruc tion necessary when the rebellion surren dered, was for the Southern States to elect Congressmen and Representatives to Congress, lie reviewed the recon structed State Governments in detail, and said the debts of those States had bceu increased by negro and carpet-bag government 8190,000,000. He denounc ed the Ku klux bill and the treaty of Washington. The recent excessively hot weather at Chattanooga has created ranch sickness in the way of fevers. "Lincoln streets” have been opened in nine Gorman and two Italian cities. In one day 10,000 buffalo robes wero shipped from Leavenworth to the East. Forly-t wo German authors dedicated their books to Queen Victoria last year. The San Antouio (Texas) Herald learns that tho people of Fayette coun ty, in that State, have come to tho de termination to refuse payment of the school tax, as a majority of the citizens are unable to pay tbe enormous taxes enforced upon them. The luka (Miss.) Gazette says; "Our town needs a hotel as much as every Radical in tho State needs a halter. We should gladly see the former want supplied; evory honest man in Mississip pi would rejoice at tho latter.” A correspondent of tho Aberdeen Miss., Examiner, writing from Corinth, Miss.,says that “Radicalism is almost extinct in the counties of Tishomingo, Alcorn and Prentiss, and the carpet-bag gers have almost all gono homo.” A negro appointee in the Columbia, South Carolina, Post Office robbed the money drawer of fifty dollars, was ac cused of the tbeft, restored tho treasure and left by the first train for parts un known.
