EDITORIAL COEKESPOKDESCE.
Kimball House,
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 9, 1878.
AN EARLY ADJ-UBSME AT ALMOST CERTAIN.
Upon conversing-with a largo number
of tbe members ot both branches of the
General Assembly, we find the opinion
very gmeral that in order to perfect tho
local legislation so much needed in the
State the present year, a temporary ad
journment will be necessary to allow
time for tho publication of the noticss
required under tbo constitution before-
any work of that nature can be done.
Speaker Bacon ia one of those who coun
sel this movement. In that event the
session will bs prolonged only about
twenty days, or until the United States
Senator, judges, solicitors, etc., are elect
ed and ceitiin general legislation imme
diately needed has been accomplished.
The body will cot probably assemble
again before next July. In the mean
time a very becoming degree of industry
is manifested by the members, and so
numerous are the resolutions offered that
the veteran Paine, of Chatham, bos dab
bed the House tho
‘‘HOUSE OF RESOLUTIONS.'’
Many of its members are young and
talented, and, of course, they must be ex
pected to ventilate themselves.
INDEPENDENTS
are jubilant at tbe success of Felton and
Speer, (tbe latter is now believed to ba
elected,) tint forget the ominous faot
that the result has bseu achieved only
through the assistance of an almost solid
Radical and negro vote. Surely laurels
thus won at the expense of that party
which is the only hope of the country
are not to be blasted of. True, both of
the gentlemen chosen are Democrats,
and able men. But they have broken np
the organization of their party, and hence
forward we may expect to see the Radi
cals again contesting every inoh of
ground in the State, and, it may well be
feared in some districts, successfully.
We venture.the prediction that the fruits
of .this campaign will be the relnrn of at
least twenty negroes to the next Legisla
ture. It will probably ring the death
knell also to party nominations in county
elections, which in some instances are eE-
eential the welfare of tho community.
Speculation?, however, are profitless, and
wa can only hope and act for the best in { paid.
A NEW CAPITOL.
This morning Senator. Preston, of Jas
per, introduced a resolution asking the
city authorities of Atlanta to state-when
it would be convenient to fulfill their
“generous proposition” to build a new
State House. This was adopted and
transmitted immediately to tho House.
Wo are exceedingly sorry that 'any-
snch movement has been made, and hope
it will he promptly negatived, for the fol
lowing reasons: i ,
- The oity ol Atlanta is hot able at pres
ent to redeem, the promise to erect'a capi
tol “as good” as the old straoturo at Mil-

But there is another consideration in

,if Atlanta, under the sore pressure of a
heated canvass, did offer to furnish the
beautiful tile tendered, and expend a sum
equal in arsonnt to ^ tho value
ot tho old. . . capitol ? Are
our people willing to aocept of
each a contribution, which would harrass
and greatly distress one of their own
cities already brought down to hard pan
by necessity in the matter of economy ?
Is that the way for a parent to treat his

The State House is the property of

and each one of them should equally bear
his share in the cost of its erection. Not

as the Court House Equare, which is of

out of the presence of the capital in any

of the requisite buildings. Hence it ia

A HUMANS AND SALUTARY MOVEMENT.
Mr. Miller, of Houston, a very prom
ising young member, introduced a bill to
alleTiate the condition of the State con
victs, and appoint a permanent commis
sion to look after thier physical condition-
By this Act the office of tho principal
keeper of the penitentiary” is abolished,
and tho present incumbent made the Sec
retary of the new commission until the
end of his term. It is also provided that
repeated ill usage on the part of any les
see will vacate his contract. That some
measures of reform aro needed in the
premises all will admit. The whole Bys
tem is reprebeasiblr, as failing to carry
out the proper punishment of crime and
the reformation of the violators ot the
Uwe. But in the present condition of onr
finances it is probably the best disposi
tion of tbe convict?, the number of whom
emancipation and nniversal suffrage has
greatly increased.
We do not pretend to say that all of
the contractors are derelict in their duty
to the convicts, but individual instances
of cruelty have undoubtedly occurred,and
there can bo no reasonable objection to
the bill referred to.

that this movement should originate in

lege at Milledgevillo, utilizing the State
property to that end,and granting $1,500
to carry into immediate effeot tho pro
ject, end $8,000 annually thereafter; the
ihstitniion to be free to all whites. It is
generally helieved that very little opposi
tion will be made to the passage of this,
or EOme kindred measure, whioh not only
applies to good purpose the empty edifioes
at tbe old oapital, but will result in great
good to the whole Commonwealth, and is
besides the slightest modicum of justioe
to Milledgevilis, in view of the Eaorifios
of her vested rights in the looation of the
seat of Government.
Suoh a step would do muoh to obliter
ate all hard feelings between tbe upper
and lower portion of the State, and restore

THE MOFFETT BELL TUNCH.
Mr. Alston, of DeKalb, has the honor
of statting this popular ball iu the Legis

through successfully. Either his hill or
onebtill more comprehensive, now in
course of preparation by Dr, Gustavos J.
Orr, State Scbool Commissioner, we think
ought and will be adopted. Under the

■* NO -REPORT YET,
The joint committee on the signing by
the Governor of the Northeastern Riil-
road bonds has not reported yet, indeed,
has not had sufficient time to conclude its
investigations. The result will‘be the
triumphant vindication of our worthy
ohief magistrate. The same is true of
the two committees on early adjournment
and redaction of the number of judicial
circuits in the State. But-it-is generally
conceded that the former will report fa
vorably and the latter adversely in .the
premises.
The election ot judges and solicitors
will probably come off some day next
week. Your able and popular fellow-
citizen,
COLONEL LOFTON,
has withdrawn from the judicial race in
the Macon circuit-, and the contest is now
narrowed down to the present honorable
incumbent and ex-Senator Simmons.
Colonel Lofton is one of our ablest anti
purest jurists, and would grace any posi
ticn on tbe judiciary of the Slate. We
understand that some legislators are of
the opinion that Judge Grice, under the
new constitution, is entitled to hold over
on the ground of the date of his commis
sion. The matter as yet has taken no
definite shape, however, and of the cor
rectness of this statement, the writer is
nnablo to determine.
MACoH AND BRUNSWICK BAILROAD.
Tho disposition of this splendid State
property, which is steadily increasing in
value, now ocoupies nniversal BttentioD.
Many favor a sale, others the lease of the

wonld be glad, if it be possible, for the
State to continue to :nn the road under
it3 present able management, until the
financidl sky clear? up and two or three
more good crops make the whole com
monwealth easy and independent again.
By doiog so it is believed that the en
hanced value of the property when It
comes nnder the hammer, will more than
compensate for any small deficits in the
interest aooount at present. It is a ques
tion to bs deftly dealt with, and should
not be deoided until after the most delib
erate and careful investigation.
We have one other important measure
to discuss, relative to the issue of bonds
for n speoiflo purpose, but it must be re-
maoded to our editorial sanctum.

Felton’s offioial majority is 1,350,
against 2.462 two years ago. There were
3,000 more votes pelted at this election
than at the last.
We find and endorse the following id
tbo Constitution:
When we come to regnlate the price of
money by usury laws, it is abont time for
(he legislature to regnlate the price of
gray horses. It seems impossible to con
vince a number of \rell-meaning people
that when money is loaned it beoomes a
commodity; and that an owner of money
who rents it ont is as mnoh entitled to all
ha can get for it as a man who rents a
hoQse. There is no diffsrenoa whatever.
If tbe legislature has the right to regnlate
the price of money, it has tbe right also to
regulate tbe rent of houses or the pries of
baoon.
It ia now pretty well settled that an at

The Result of a Fishing Excursion.—
A party of fishermen left this city .about
a month ago for points down the river,
intending to hunt, trap and fish. The
party consisted of three white men and a
negro. Two of them, after a week or so,
esme to the city very SI; the negro and
a man named Frazer remained. In a
week or so they were taken sick, and
were unable to help themolvas. In this
condition they remained several days.
The negio died without anyone to even
give him a drink of water. They wore
at that time camped near the Wright
plantation, and tbe hands came and bur
ied the negro. The story was told to
Mr. Clark, who is living on the planta
tion, kindly attended to Mr. F., and had
him taken in a carriage to Fort Mitchel],*
from which place he was brought to this
city on the M. and G. railrosd passenger
train Wednesday morning. No one could
till what the/’diseaBe was, bat it was
something on tho order cf malarial fever.

were robbed of tneir entire outfit, whioh
consisted of two shot guns, a pistol,.a let
of fishing tackle and several traps.
The Two-Thibd3 Rule.—Under this
head tne Columbus Times remarks as fol
lows: Y
The results of the recent election in
this Congressional district clearly show
the propriety of adhering to the two-
thirds rule. in making nominations of
party candidate?, and just as plainly show
that no man can olaim that the possession
of a bare majority of the votes of dele
gates ia proof that he has a majority of
the party to back him. The majority for
Captain Persons in the district it abont
3.800 votes, but if this had been a prim
ary election for tbe choice of delegates.
Captain Persons would have had only
twenty ot them, and Mr. Harris would
have had eighteen. A change of only
135 votes in ChattpbcGchee county would
have reversed these figures, giving Col.
Harris twenty and Mr. Persons eigh
teen. And yet Mr. Persons would
have had a popular majority of 3.600
votes lu the district. A farther change
of 500 votes in Troup and Douglass
wonld have given Harris twenty-six dele
gates, or a dear two-thirds, and yet Per.
sons wonld have nearly 3.000 majority of
the popular vote. We then see that even
the two-tbiids rule does not afford an as-
snranoe that the candidate receiving it is
tbe ohoioe of the people.
A«ittie study of these figures „ will sat-
Isfy.any man that a candidate receiving a
majority, bnt falling short of two-thirds,
has no stronger claim for the nomination
or the support of the party than another
candidate who did not got a majority.
We make these notes with no design of
reflecting upon the coarse of any one in
the late canvass, bnt simply as an argu
ment in favor of adherence to the two-
thirds rnle in any fntnre nominations, if
we should have any more.

Democratic disagreement worked the
losses in New York State. The best of
Conkling’a irfeisivo work, with all his
power to back him, could not have pre
vented the New York Democrats from
gaining on the sixteen Representatives
which they have in the Forty-fifth Con
gress. That they lost seven or eight
from the delegation ia due entirely to
the selfish' and suicidal course of the
Tammanyitea, who have never looked
beyond personal interests. Tbe Brook
lyn Eagle, with much force, says of the
result of the New York election:
“The Democratic party i3 able to com
bat its ancient foe, the Republican party,
but it can not fight itself. Yet thiB is
precisely what it has been doing. The
leaders have .been quarreling amoDg
themselves, while tho oppoaent3 have
been busily at work at tbeir. duties in
the campaign. The idea that one faction
of a party should be spending its energies
in an endeavor to destroy another ia pre
posterous. "Yet the people o! tha State
have been treated tb that edifying spec
tacle. The cause lies in the interference
of Tammany Hall ak an organization in
State politics. Last year tho head of
that ^organization, Mr. Kelly, obtained
possession of the machinery of his party,
and jnateid of going before tho people
upon the platform of the reforms Gover
nor RobinBon was then actually carrying
on, the party was put in the attitude of
antagonism to its chosen head. The re-
suit of that campaign was a narrow escape
from defeat. Again, this year retaining
possession by means which may be mildly
termed as open to criticism, the same
eourso is pursued and the result is over
whelming defeat. There ? should be a
lesson in this to the Democratic party.
Mr. Kelly reached ont from tbe field,
whereon his course in politics was a mat
ter only those who dwelt thereupon were
concerned, and assumed to pounce npon
and make war upon the gentleman whose
only fault ia that he was cheated ont of
the Presidency to whioh he waB elected.
Not only that, hut as against a portion ot
hia patty, he appealed to the common
enemy for assistance, basing that appeal
npon the ground that he was attacking
and making war upon Samuel J. Tilden.
Inviting battle, it is not to be wondered
at that upon the issue he presented, he
is to-day suffering the bitter pangs of
defeat.”
That is the whole atory ia a nutshell.
The first duty of the Damooraoy is to
place the “ancient foe, the Republican
party,” where it can ho more curse the
country. This can net be done unless
the [.Democracy becomes a disciplined
body, moving with tha precision of a
veteran army corps.

An Important Bill.
Mr. Guerard. a talented member from
Muscogee, has introduced- a lbiil into the
Georgia House of Repveaentalivev, which,
if adopted, may ptObabiy prove of signal
benefit to the-Sthtb. c It in *Y follows:
A Bill to-be entitled enact suthorizing
the issue of bond* of the State of Georgia
for tho redemption'©! certain bond* of
the State, of* Georgia felling due in
three'years,-*hd to reduoe the rate of in
terest on tbe same.
Section 1, Be it enacted, by. the Senate
and House of Repregectthvesuf tbs State
of Georgia in General Assembly met, and
it ia hereby enacted fey the authority of
the same, That the Governor is hereby
authorized and directed to issue bonds of
the State to the amount of five hundred
thousand dollars,
Sec. 2. That the bonds shall ba made
payable is the city of Atlanta, at the
Treasury of the State, in six years from
the date of issuance unless sooner called
ia by the State authorities. * c *
Sec. 3. Said bond a to beak interest at
the rate of fonr per. cent.* per anqum attd
said interest shall ho payable in either
of the cities of Atlanta', Athsn?, Augusta,
Columbus, Macon, Savannah and Rome
on tbe firslt day of January {•:each year.
Seo. 4. That the bonds he engraved on
the best quality of banknote paper,
seven anda half inches' long,* and three
and a half inches wideband shall be qou-
pon bonds, with .interest payable yearly.
Said bonds shall be signedoy the Gov
ernor and Treasurer, aed the coupons
shall be sighed by the Treasurer. Said
bonds shall ha for the Ends of not less
than five dollars or tqore £ban one hun
dred dollars, and in np event shall be sold
for less than their par value.'
Seo. 5. That the Governezfe Hereby di
rected to have the boadeaMborized by
this act prepared as soon aa possitie, and
to sell a sufficient ambont" a* they may be
needed to meet tbe installment* of bonds
ii-sued nnder the dot of February 27tb,
1856, that beoome dne. Baring the years
1879, I860 and 1881, and the money aria®
ing from the sale of said bonds shall be
usid for no'other purpose, •
Seo. 6. That the Governor of Georgia
shall make suitable arrapgemsntB for the
payment of the interest to become dne on
said bonds with some back or banking
honss in the oities of Atlanta, Athena,
Angnsts, Coiambus, Macon, Savannah
and Rome. .
Sao. 7. That the bonds sbail be pre
pared with suitable devices,, nudes the
direotioh of the Governor.. - ' j
Sec. 8 That as toon as any installment
of Baid bonds are signed .by the Governor
and Treasurer as aforesaid; the same
shall he entered in a book'of-record to be
kept in the Treasurer’s office Jor that
purpose, in which each bend stall be en
tered, with the cumber i.nJ nocuut, let
ter and aeries, and after this is done, said
bonds shall be turned 'over to‘-the Comp
troller, who shallgiTe hisieoeipttherefor
to the Treasurer,, who shall proceed at
once to enter the same in a record to ha
kept in his office fpr said purpose, and
after said bonds are so reginiqred and re
corded ^Ehey' 'shall be returned to the
Treasurer, who shall receipt to Comp
troller therefor; and said bonds shall then
be ready for sale, and each of the afore
said officers shall make a fall report to
the Governor of said State o; all their
actings and doings in said premies.
Sec. 9. That the faith and honor of the
State of Georgia is hereby pledged for
the prompt payment of the bonds and in
terest thereon authorized by this act.
From the above it will be seen that a
feasible method has been devised to meet
tbe bonded debt of tbe State is fast as It
falls due, by the issue of other bonds with
coupons attaohed bearing 4 per oent. in
terest; and dnly signed by the Governor
and proper officials, with six years to
inn.
These bonds issued in the denomina
tions of fives, tecs, eto, np to one hun
dred dollars, with interest payable annu
ally in all of our ptinoipal cities, and con-
struoted of the same Bfze as greenback
bills, will sell lixe hot cakes in the mark
et, and th8 proceeds will be devoted to
tho cancelling of the said onts'.anding
debts.
Bat in addition to this, they will pass
readily as currency, and even be sought
after with avidity on aooonnt of the in
terest bearing esapoa* attached.
Thus, without any violation of law,
the amount of cash expended in the re
demption of the bonded debt of the State,
will virtually be retained in circulation in
the8hapeof-thenew 4 per' cent, bonds
which.hear the imprimatur of the Gover
nor’s signature, for a term of years at a
iowrateof interest. * '
After 1831 as other bonds fall due, if
there be any scarcity of currency similar
bonds could bs uttered to meet further
demands in liquidation of the State debt.
From a bird’s eye viewof tha plan, we
are disposed to think favorably of It, and
it certainly reflects credit npon the ingen
uity and forecaste of the member from
Mnscogee, and should be dnly consider
ed. -*
THE NATIONAL SCOURGE.
It is estimated that the annnal dam
ages caused by the ravages of insects and
worms exceed .$.150,000,000 in the United
States glone. Truly, an enormous loss.
Yet it sinks into insignificance when com
pared with the ravages of that more ter
rible scourge, Consumption, which annu
ally sweeps hundreds of thousands of hu
man souls into eternity. • The causes of
consumption are various, depending in
every instance for the development of
the disease upon the scrofulpna diathesis,
or temperament, oi the victim.Thus
the same cause which wifl.produoe ‘in one
person and an attack of acute disease or
a slight nervous prostration, will engen
der consumption in a person of aorofulona
habit. That consumption oan be cured
by proper treatment will be readily per
ceived whin the exact - nature of the dis
ease is understood, viz: the accumulation
and deposition of scrofulous matter (tu
bercles) in the lungs. Obviously, the
principal remedies required are (1) a
powerful alterative, or kbod-purifier, to
arrest the accumulation and also cleanse
the blood of the scrofulous matter, and
(2) a mild cathartic to expel the diseased
matter from tha system. This coarse of
treatment, in conjunction with a strict
hysricnio regime, has proved the moat suc
cessful method of curing this disease.
Dr. Pierce's Upldtn Medical Discovery
and Pleasant Purgative Pellets are the
best alteraiiveaad cathartic remedies be-
fore the public, and have been alone used
in thousands of cases of consumption
with the most marked efficacy. Doctor
Fierce’s Invalids* Hotel, at Buffalo,N. Y„
affords special and uneqnaled advantages
to consumptives, not only possessing tho
best medical and hygienic means of treat,
meat, but having the essential advan
tage of being situated in a climate where
the inhabitants are nctab y free from this
disease. novlSiwtt/’
