Our Mexican Complication*.
Ihe State Department positively
declines for the presuit, to make
known the tenor of the recent dis
patches from Mexico, and with a
view to keep the people in ignor
ance, is disposed rather ’o belittle
tlpir leal purport. It appears that
Diaz is not only incensed because of
the frequent incursions by Federal
troops into Mexican Vrritorv, but
because he considers lie was duped
by Secretary Evarts in the matter of
the payment of the last installment
of the Mexican Indemnity Fund.
It was his understanding when he
raised the money that upon iis pay
ment his authority as President of
the Republic was to be recognized.
To his surprise, when it was ready
to be paid Evarta refused to receive
it from Mata, Diaz’s minister, and
payment was made through Lerdo’s
former representative at this place
Advices received from Mexico of an
unofficial nature represent that a
determined attitude on the part of
Mexico toward the United States is
forced upon Diaz by the popular
will of the people. There is a grow
ing feeling of hatred toward the Uni
ted States, and it is quite problema
tical if Diaz can restrain his coun
trymen from increased and repeated
border depredations, should he be
ever so willing. The outlook alto>-
get her is not favorable to peace ; and
it may be that instead of the United
States giving Mexico casus belli, the
Mexican may be the one to knock
the chip off of our shoulders.
Evarts is sorry that the New York
Republicans are so divided.

the next Presidency* are growing.
Judge Kelley estimates the inde
pendent vote of Pennsylvania any
where between twenty and eighty
thousand. No one can tell which

that state is very uncertain for the

It is now thought that the fighting
season with the Eastern belligerents, is
about over, aud a drawn battle will be
the result of the campaign. Perhaps
before the lighting ‘eason again sets in
diplomacy may prevent another eam
paign. Greece has sent afresh dispatch
to her representative at London, point
ing out that neither intimidation nor a
coup de main against Greece can sup
press Hellenism. An unjust attack
against Greece by the porte would in
fallibly cause au insurrection of the en
tire Hellenic people.
Curtis offered a resolution at the
Rochester Convention to the effect
that “the lawful title of r Rutherford
B. Ilaj'es to the Presidency is as clear
and perfect as that of George Wash
ington.” He made a speech of an
hour and a half in defense of Mr.
Hayes. In the course of his speech
he said he never expected to see a
Republican President without the
least shadow of surrender of any Re
publican principle, received in the
slave slates of Georgia, Yirginia,
or Tennessee with confidence and re
spect.” Senator Conkling followed
him and carried the convention
against Curtis,’ resolutions by* a two
thirds vote.
Ail Oriental Incident.
The Russo-Turkish war revives
an old story. A Turkish and a Rus
sian officer once fell into a dispute as
to the superiority in disipline of their
respective soldiers.
‘‘l can prove to you on the spot,”
said the Russian. “how perfectly our
men are trained,” and he called Ins
ordcrlv.
“Ivan!’
“Sir.”
‘‘Go to Mihemet’sj buy me a
pound of lobacco, and come hack at
once. ”
The soldier saluted, turned on his
heel, and went out.
“Now,” said the Russian officer
taking out hiswat .h. “my orderly is
walking straight to the next corner
wheic he must turn—now he is turn
ing—now he is opposite the white
mosque—now he is crossing the may
dan—now he is at Mehemct’s—now
he is buying tiie tobacco—now lie is
coming back—now he is oil the
block below us—now he is at the
door—now”—and the Russian called
out:
“Ivan!”
“Sir. ”
Where’s the tobacco!'”
“Here, sir.”
The Turkish officer, showing no
sign of surprise at the precision of
this Russo-tobacco movement promp
tly broke out: “Ho! ho! my soldier
can do that every day In the week,”
and he called:
“Much tar!”
“Sir.”
“Go to Ali Effendi’s any see that
you bring me a pound of tobacco.
My pipe is empty.
“lnstautly, sir.”
Following the tactics of tli.e Rus
sian officer, the i'urk pulled, out liis
watch and went on:
“Now Much tar is in the street;
now he is passing the palpooch ba
zar; now it is noon and he i* saying

The Great Wall of Clh’na.
The great wall of China was meas
ured in many places by Mr. Untlumk
an American engineer, lately en
gaged on a survey for a Chinese rail
way. His measurements give the
height at 18 feet, and a width on top
of 15 feet. Every few hundred
yards there is a tower 24 feet square,
and from 20 to 42 feet high. The
foundation of the wall issolid gran
ite. Mr. Untlumk brought a brick
from the wall, which is supposed to
have been made two hundred years
before the time of Christ. In build
ing this immense stone fence to keep
oat the Tartars, the builders never
attempted to avoid mountain, and
every foot of the foundation is m sol
id granite, and the rest of the struc
ture solid masonry. In some places
the wall is built smooth up against
the bank, or canyons, or precipices
where there is a sheer descent cf a
thousand feet. Small streams aie
arched over, but in the larger
streams the walls runs to the water’s
edge and a tower is built on each
side. On the top of the wall there
are breastworks, or defenses, facing
m and out, so the defending force
can pass from cue tower to another
without being exposed to the enemy
from either side. To calculate the
time of building or cost of this wall
is beyond human skill. So far as
the magnitude of the work is con
cerned, it surpasses anything in an
cient or modern times of which there
is any trace. The pyrmids of Egypt
are nothing compared to it,—Lon
dun Yews.
lion. 11 11. Hill, having been in
vited to addres the people of La
Grange on the new constitution, and j
the capital question and being unable i
to go, addressed the following letter
7 . 0 |
which was published in the Repor
ter :
Atlanta, September 29, 1879
My I)i:ah Sir —I received your
very kind letter some days ago.
you asked me to visit LaGrange and
give my views to my old neighbors
in Troup county, on the new consti
tution and the capital question. Ire
gret I shall not be able to visit you,
but 1 will briefly express my views,
which you can hand to the Reporter
for insertion in its columns
On the question of ratifying the
new constitution, 1 need only to re
affirm the opinions I expressed to a
pul die meeting in this city at the
close of the convention. For the
reasons then given, and for many :
which I might now add, I think the
constitution ought to be ratified.
Whatever objectionable features may
exist can be readily cured by amend
ment. As indications point clearly
to an almost unanimous ratification,
I shall not discuss this question fur
ther.
On the other question suggested
for my views—whether the future
capital of our state shall be Atlanta j
or Milledgeville (for we are restricted !
to the.-e two cities) —there seems to ;
be quite a division of public opinion, j
1 tlunk this division is largely owing
to irrelevant and improper issues
made in the discussion by the mere
partisans of the respective cities.
The people of either city are quite as
good as those of the other city, and
no better. Neither city has any nat
ural or acquired right to be the fu
ture capital, and the interests of
neither should be considered. My
own opinion is it will not seriously
benefit either city to have the capital,
nor seriously benefit either city to
have the capital, nor seriou-ly in
jure either to be without it. Much
of our history, as a stat: 1 , was enac
ted at Milledgeville, but that city did
not enact it. The work was done by
the people of the state, through their
representatives, and while the dear
old city' is classic ground in all the
future, the work which makes it clas
sic was Georgia work, and not Mil
ledgeville work. There are no bet
ter people in this state, or in any
other state, than the people of Mil
ledgeville. Memories, both sad and
pleasant, cause me to revere the place
and cherisn its people.
The removal of the c ipital to At
lanta in 1868, was part of a bold us
urpation. But the people of Atlan
at voted against the usurpation—vo
ted against the whole and every part
of it. °lt is, therefore, not only un
just but iu my judgment exceedingly
unmanly even to attempt or desire to
ereue prejudice against Ailanta be
cause of this usurpation Besides
I the convention lets wisely submitted
this capital question ns a separate, in
dependent and original proposit on
to the people, and it is unfair to s ok
to inllueuce vo es ex ept ui its mer
its as an original proposition.
10 ii tluenee votes by untrue or un
just methods of reasoning is not on
ly wrong, but more than ordinarily
" long since it injuriously infects pub
lie interest, and public interest* are
greater ill in pri\:e interest.
D scalding, t on, all personal, all
local and all ui just and improi>er con
sider.it.ons, let us consider only those
reasons whieh sh> uhl properly inllu*
cnee us in deeiding the simple ques
tion whether Milledgeville or Atlan
ta is the b.tter place for the future
capital of Georgia
1. Whieh place would be the most
convenient to the greatest number of
our people? This is the first and
and givat consideration always aris
ing in locating a capital* My own
opinion is that Atlanta at this time
is conveniently accessible to twice as
many of our people as Milledgeville.
In the near future this number will
increase. The time is not distant
when the number will be fivefol 1. It
s, indeed, a reason which will grow
constantly in strength. Ido not
doubt that population will increase
in lower Georgia, but middle and up
per Georgia will increase in popula
tion much more rapidly. No man
who knows the history of popula
tions in America can differ with me
on this question.
Now. is it right, is it just for a mi
nority to insist that the greatest num ;
her shall be subjected to inconveu
ienee f r their own accommodation. I
1 think not. If I liyed in Millulge
ville 1 should vote, as a sense of du
for Atlanta to be the future cap
ital, unless there are other reasons
outweighing this one.
3. In the next place let u* consid
er t.he que-tion ot economy, for this
is an important matter.
I’he public‘builuings of the state, in
Atlanta, are quite as good (I think
better) as those in Milledgeville. if i
the future capital goes to Milledge- ,
ville, the present capital building in
Atlanta will be practically lost to the
state, lor 1 happen to know that this
city is entitled justly ami honorably
to subject this building to a debt that
will cover it if the capital is remov
ed. And the state is a party to this
contract, made not by a republican
but by a democratic state admimstra
tion.
If anew capitol has to be built, it
will cost as much to build in Mil
ledgeville as in Atlanta. The state
will certainly be greatly aided in At
lanta and it will not be aided in Mil
ledgeville.
Take any view of the question of j
economy and it is clear to me that i
the advantage is with Atlanta.
8. 1 hope this question as to where !
our capital shall be in the future will j
now be settled for all time.
It will not be so settled if Millodgo )
ville is now selected. For many I
years before the war there was an ov
er growing feeling to remove the 1
capitol from Milledgevil’e Every
reason which created this feeling still
exists, and will grow stronger. Es- i
peeially will this be the case if the 1
vote in favor of Milledgeville is se
cure:! by appeals to mere prejudices
Georgia is a growing state. She is
destined to be a very gnat aud p >p
ulous state. The child is born who
will s e four millions of people in up j
per Georgia with Atlanta as the great
central city, with over one hundred
thousand inhabitants—perhaps sev
eral hundre 1 thousand. There are ,
far more reasons lor population to j
come to upper Georgia than ever ex
isted in Massachusetts or l’eiisylva- I
nia Evciy variety of industry' will
thrive in upper Georgia, and will be
a necessity of the future.
Ihe business of the capital will
greatly multiply, and that great pop
ulation of the future will certainly re !
turn the capital to Atlanta if we now
fix it at Milledgeville. The agitation
which existed before the war on this
subject will be revived in the very na
ture of things and will ineiv ase. Let
us settle it now for all time and end
the agitation. If the capital had
been removed to Atlanta in 1808 by
a fair vote of our jieople, and had
not been a feature of t lie usurpation
of that period, everybody" would be
satisfied with Atlanta as the capital
and the present agitation would not
exist.
It is sa:d the legislature will be
more exposed to corrupt influences in
Atlanta. There is less than nothing
in this point. The corruptions of the
laT ten years had their origin in the 1
times and have existed everywhere.
Corruption does not come of places
but of men. The only guarantee of
good and honest government is in
capable and honest men in olhce, and
this is all with the people.
Looking, therefore, at the ques
tion in the light of the present and
the future, and considering only the
interest of the state, I am very clear
ly of the opinion that Atlanta is the
most proper place for the future cap
ital of Georgia. Milledgeville must
give wav to Atlanta as Louisville
did to'Milledgeville, and as Savannah
did to Louisville. It is simply the
result of the growth of tilings and is
no injustice or discredit to Milledge
ville or any* other place. With high
est regards, ’ am your friend,

My Dub Bik— Your kind letter of the 2nd inst.,
with inquiries Concerning my health, received by
mein due time. I would that I had the power to
express my gratitude, or in some way to prove to
you how much lam indebted for my almost com
plete restoration to health. But a few Weeks since
i was a complete wre k of my former self ; my con
dition was positively the most deplorable one that a
humau being can be subject to. 1 most earnestly
ticlieve that if a man could be curse 1 With all the
ills to which tl e whole human race is heii at one
time, his condition would la* comparatively happy
compared to the los*. wretched and most bitter
miseiy resultii g from the disease produced by the
use of opium, and its alkaloids. This may seem
strong language to you, but the poor li st, wretched
being wbo is tints afflicted will tell ,\oti in all sincer
ity that the picture is not overdiawu. Tlii.s curse
atfliets (strange to say, seemingly,) the brightest
and most gifted minds. The grandest and most
towering intellects of the world have bceii among
those who have hail this blight to wither and crash
their best effort*, an! they have gntu down to pre
mature graves with an aborted life, the hojieless
and helpless victims of this iHiison. .-annu l T.iv lor
Coleridge, though gifted with th * t: ightest talent,
rendered his life, in this way, a most miserable fail
ure. Ilis language in a letts rto his friend, Joseph
Cottle, was : ’‘Conceive a spirit in hell employed in
tracing out for others the roa 1 to that lnaven from
which his sins exclude him—conceive whatever is
most wretched, hclplet-s and hopeless, and you will
form as tolerable an idea of my state is it Is po si
bla for you to have* My case is a specie* ot m mi
mess, only that it is a derangement, and utter im
potence of volition, and not of intellect ” And
when advised by the same friend to bitak loose
from the habit that had fastened U|M>n him, and
warned that it would destroy his uscfulUss, ami
even his life, his characteristic answer was: “Bid •
a man, paralyzed in Imtli arms, rub them together !
(o bid the dead to walk I It is os possible for ci
thei, as for me to obey your injunction, and yet I
know that this poison is eating out daily my very
existence.” Fitz Hugh Ludlow, a man of brillian

of gladness and joy in the world of letters. waa ae
cursed by the same withering power, and his -tar of
hope went down in darkness and gloom ; and how
many others of our greatest and Is- and have thus i uf
fered, none but God can know. These victims are
numbered by tens of thousands, else what go. s
with the enormous amount of • pium that reaches
the different markets of the world! And what is
this demon that has the power to wreck and utterly
destroy the hupp ness of its votaries! It ran l
told in but few words its history is short (except in
the misery it has brought upon the human race), no
titled lineage follows its ancestral line—* et of all
the race of cruel and beastly conquerors the wmld
has ever known, its slavery has Is-en the most ab
ject and degrading and mining. It is prepared
from the white poppy (I’apaver Soiiiuiferum), a
plant indigenous to the south of Europe, however,
Asia is supposed to be its native home. It is
grown for commerce in the L-vant, Hindot-t.-in,
Kgypt and several other countries, and has Ben
recently cultivated successfully in the South of the
United State*. A short while after th-- flowers
fall, an incision is made in the uuiijic capsule from
w hich a concrete juice exudes, which is scraped off
with a blunt spatula, and moistened with saliva to
a consistency to be roiled in balls, after which it is
wrapped in leaves, and in this sha) it is found
in the market under the name of crude opium ;
the chemist prepare* from tills the different prepar
ation*. Opium is composed of Morphia. Narcotiua.
Meconie Acid, N are- in, Meconine, Caoutchouc, and
numerous other constituents, with like pr.qs-rties.
The varieties in commerce are known as the Smyr
na, Constantinople, Egyptian, Persian and the In
dian. In small doses it is a stimulant to the great
neivous centers : in large doses it is sedative, ano
dyne and narcotic. It operates entirely through the
nervous system. It has been used in midi ine since
the days (if jEsculapius, aud is of incalculable value
in a v.-ry great number of diseases. To the -urgw.ii
especially on the field of battle, it is as much his
sheet-anchor, and of as much importance in his ar
inamentorium as is chloroform. When first given,
its effect is to lull and quiet, but graiuallylt tiam
lates, as it were, the person from the world of reali
ty to'the Elysium field* of dreamland, romance and
imagery, until the mind, the soul, is completely
]*is-csa-d, ami revels iu grand, glorious and bound
less worlds of joy and g’admss beyond the concep
tion of the ioet's most g.orious thought. Tins hal
lucination is absolutely beyond the power of mac to
describe or convey to the senses. To appreciate it,
it is postively uecessary|to be under the influence of
the intoxication, and the do-e must be inernaed to
reproduce the same effect, and in a sliort time the
habit of taking the drug is formed, from which it is
as much impossible to break loose as it is for the
parched, thirsty aud worn traveller through the- fcar
- ren, w aterless desert, to pass by a col l, pure spring,
I that bursts from the gravelly bed of the greeu oasis,
and not (punch hi* tliirst—as much impossible as
} for the blind to see, or for the dumb to speak ; and
this continued indulgence invariably produces the
disease of Opiumaniu—in which each nerve iu the
whole system is completely unst rang ; pangs more
bitter than any imagined terror rack the poor suf
ferer ; its misery is beyond the power of language to
convey, and yet it is not pain ; it is a nameless
dre;id of some unspoken, unreal kind, from which
the helpless victim strives and writhes iu vain to es
cape, until he brings to his relief an increased dose
of poison, which only gives a short respite, to re
turn with renewed iusensity. And thus the poor
sufferer drags out his mia rable existence, until he
soon mercifully finds a premature grave—frequent
l ly deserted by his friends, who are worn out, and
' whose patience is exhausted by wliat they Igno
rantly think his self-inflicted torment. What a pic
ture is th ; s, of human suffering, and no isolated one
eitner, and true to the very life. This miserable
coudition, my dear sir, three mouths ago, was mine.
Since then I have been takiug your cure, or Anti
dote, and from the first lose- was relieved from the
terrible bondage. To-day lam fully restored to my
former self—to my family, to happiness aud useful
ness. I have had in the past to take, bypodemical
ly, 60 grain* Sulphia-Morphta in the 24 hours, to
save me from the alove described suffering. This
is the worst way it can lie taken, and the luvrdcst to
control, but your cure or Antidote, did it* work,
and I repeat that it is the most wonderful remedy
ever known ' What do I not owe you Let those
who have suffered as I have answer, for they only
I arc competent. Let me assure you of my best grati
tude. Would Jto God that every opium afflicted
i creature could be brought within “the length of
your cable tow,” and your life-restoring influence.
Very respect fully, your friend,
