The farmers arc represented by a num

agriculturists, who will nee to it that the
interests of that great class are fully pro

have always considered the'
to remove the State Capital
back to Milledgavillo as of
lea* importance tlian many other ques
tions which will require the attention of
the Constitutional Oouvention, we wish,
once again, to put ourselves on the
record,
Those who have read the .Toi'iinai, for
any length of time must know that we
haTe all the while favored the removal,
and are yet quite as confident of it* pro
priety and even necessity as at any time
heretofore. Our reasons for this opin
ion are numerous, hut a few of the plain
est aud simplest, it seems to ns, ought
to tie sufficient to convince any disinter
ested or nuprejtidioed person.
1. No sine man now claims that the
rubble of carpet-baggers, negroes and
scoundrels, who framed nurpresent Con
•titutiou, and removed the Capital to
Atlanta, were elected by or represented
the profile the wealth, the intelligence,
tbe vutue, the refinement, the patriotism
of Georgia. They represented nothing
except their own brutal passions, their
greed for plunder, and their ignornueo.
The instrument which they made and
exiled a Constitution, whether pood or j
bod, was forced iqioii the people at the !
point of the bayonet, mid every section j
sad article including those which fixed ■
the Capital in Atlanta, were and are yet;
a glaring timid, in conflict with the Con
stitution of tbe United Ktat a, and abso
lutely uni! and void.
Therefor*, we any (lint the propfo hail
no voice in removing their Capital to
Atbuita, and nlionld now l‘ permitted to !
aettle the question for lliemoelvoe.
2. —We have very good public build
ing* in MiUedgeviHe, which for many
yearn of the better days of the Republic,
echoed the voices of our tn>*t atutcmiien.
and were considered amply coniraodions j
for onr State Government. These build
toga are, at present, a dead expense to
the State, and art' entirely tnitmlaMe.
The publia buildings in Atiuntn ran be
t-ilri f-r ait approximation of heir value,
and with the money, the buildings in
Milledgevitle put ill excellent repair w ith
out costing the Slate one dollar.
3. If the Capital is kept in Atlanta a
new Capitol, with other neeeasar) tmild
tuga tnuaf be erected, for which the
people must be tawed to pay. Onr At
lanta trends may attempt to conceal the
condition of ttie Opera House as much
aa tliey please; they may pick out their
committees of exports to examine the
imildiuge and re;sat to the I/ogislatnre
every session that it is entirety raft, and
yet the fact remains that it is unsafe and
absolutely dangrroun when large assem
blages meet In it.
At all events, mark this prediction:
If the Convention adjourns and retains
tlie Capital ill Atlanta; or, if the newClun
aiitution, removing it to Milledgeville,
should be rejected by the people, the
next Legislature, nud nil subsequent
one* until the movement is accomplished,
will be urged to sell the Milledgeviile
property for any thing, and to nppropiate
fro i, *1,000,000 to $3,000,000 for anew
Capitol, the people must he taxed to pay
it, and our Alluuta friends will be the
most energetic end industrious in urging
th mrasulc.
We write this in no nnkindness to At
lanta. Wc glory iu her prosperity and
are proud of her energy and public spirit;
*nd the location of the Capital iu her
midst is not to be given up without a
struggle. But !ie should not expect the
people of other portions of the State to
make snoh heavy sacrifice* for her indi
vidual interest"’.
We are too poor t i own two Capitols
and be taxed to build a tiiird.

AU the reports of the two circuits hav
ing been read and handed to the Secre
tary, the President called for reports of
any Sabbath School not embraced with
in their limits, when the Rev. Mr. Quil
tinn responded in behalf of Liuwood and
in a masterly manner portrayed tho good
that hud been done by that school; also
stating that Linwood church was a good
house, witli comfortable stove, and the
school had a good Library, nnd had given
to tho ministry a faithful and fervent
preacher in the person of Rev. Win. A.
Dodge.
No other responding, the Thomson
Sunday School wore requested to si g,
and choosing that beautiful aong, ou tho
146th page in the songster, “Pure Gold,”
brought hack life to tlie audience. The
same being concluded, the President in
troduced the Rev. 0. A. Evans, one of
the speakers chosen for tho occasion,
who, for three-fourtlw of an hour held
the Convention spell bound with bin elo
quence. Then No. 60 of Gospel Hymns
was sung by the Harlem Sunday School
and a recess of one hour for dinner was
announced by the President,
Aftrr the expiratiou of one hour Con
vention re-convened and, by request, No.
lit) of the Goepol Hymns was sung liv the
Thomson Sunday School, and the 79th
No. iu the satuo book by the congrega
tion. After songs, His Excellency, A.
11. Colqnit, was inlroduood to audience,
and siHiko for some time, coneluding his
opMoh by requesting the whole congre
gation to sing ths 118th No. Gospel
Hymns, being that good song, “Nearer
My God to Thee,” which, (judging bv
the Scripture teat, “Out of the abiiu
danee of the heart the month speaketh,")
seemed to be the sentiment of the Gov
ornoi's heart.
The following resolutions were, unani
mously adopted :
AVaofecrf. That in order and for the
pur|s>se of perfecting this organisation,

SALE.—Departed this life on the 2fllh
of May ult., at Goshen, Lincoln county,
Georgia, Capt. Peyton W. Sale, in the
71st year of his age, after an illness of
nearly throe weeks. He was flint attacked
with pneumonia, which yielded to medi
cal treatment, but it developed disceso
of tho kidneys, of which he died. The
subject of this brief tribute of respect
was truly nature's nobleman, a man
of active energy, the motto of whose life j
was : "Whatever your hands find to do,
that do with all your might." Whatever
he put his hand to seemed to prosper,
whether in works of beuevolenoe and
charity or in public or private offsite.
Such was the confidence of the public in
Mr judgement and in the honesty and
parity of his motives, that whatever he
approved and fully embarked in was al
most sure to succeed. Asa husband
and father he was kind and affectionate.
Asa citizen ho wits high-minded and
houoroble and full of publio spir t aud
progress; and as a neighbor ho was
without leproach. His hand ami instrl
were seen and felt in tTTe~ mrfltMWNwe
walks of life, ill acts of charity aim ill
deeds of benevolence and in encouraging
and stimulating tho distressed in mind
aud body to deeds of virtue, usefulness
aud economy. For more than 45 years
he was a consistent and exemplary mem
ber of the Baptist church ; and he bore
his sufferings witli much Christian forti
tude aud resignation. Often in hia last
sickness he expressed a feeling of eutive
resignation to the will of God and saw
no shadows between him aud future
happiness. Verily, "Blessed is the man
that puttetli his trust in Him ; ou such
the second death hath no power.”
| "There is no death ! The stars go down
To rise npou some fairer shore,
! And bright in heaven's jeweled crown
They slime forever more.
There is no death ! The loaves may fall,
And flowers may fade and pass away,
They only wait through w ,utry hours
The coming of May-day.
There is no death! An angel form
Walks o’er the earth with silent tread,
And bears our best loved one* awav,
And then we call them “dead." **
The manlike voice whose joyous tones
Mad, glad tin sc scenes of sin and strife
Sing now an everlasting song,
Ar. und tlio tree ot l-f..
