ghiitmun =■? JOS. TILLMAN) Editor. THURSDAY, JUNE 28, 1877. Letter from the Gate City. Editor Hktorter: After an exten sive tour through Middlo Georgia, I am again in tho “hub,” and am sorry that I have nothing very special to report. Wo have no sensation of any kind just now. There was a tro ruondous sensation the morning after the election among tho anti-conven tiouists, us tho first returns were all in their favor. But since tho full re turns have come in, and the matter is decided, there is quiet all along the line. Tho questiou now is, “What will they do ?” Some of tho timid ones are expecting to seo Bob Toombs shake his mane and roar, but the general impression is that but few important changes will be made in the Constitution. Tho Atlanta peo ple are a little shaky lest there shall bo au effort made to carry the seat of government back to Milledgeville. I think, however, that there is but little dauger of that. It is generally be hoved that the convention will be composed, in the main, of prudent, sensible men, and that their action will be in the line of safe counsels. By the way, I notice that several Baptist preachers have been elected as delegates, two from the same dis trict—Coates and Edge—tho latter sharp by nature and by practice. My own opinion is that it is lowering the dignity of the ministry for its mem bers to enter tho arena of politics, except under extraordinary circum stances. The last Legislature fully satisfied me on that point. If I wres tle with a chimney-sweep I shall be sooted, whether he throws rae or I throw him. I have never yet known a minister to enter politics but at the expense of his spirituality, and often times at tho expense of his character. I remember, when quite a boy, hear ing an ardent friend of Judge Walter T. Colquitt (father of our Governor) commending him in the following Style: “If von put him before a jury, he is thar; if you put him on the bench, he is lhar; if you put him on tho stump, he is thar; if you put him in tho pulpit, he is thar: if it comes to a bull-dog fight, ho is thar.'!” I then and “thar” made up my mind that preaching and polities would not mix well, and have not yet changed thy mind. There was an effort at r. sensation in the Court House a few days ago, when the attorneys of Messrs. Bullock and Blodgett attempted to persuade Judge lfillyer that the trial of their clients should come off at once; but the Judge would not be persuaded, and so the matter goes over till Au gust or later. My own opinion is that the suits had better bo not pronged— is that what the lawyers say'? The trial will never amount to any thing. Wo hear a good deal of hard times, but if you could see the number of dwellings and store-houses being built hero, you wouldn’t think times ate hard. You can hear the sound of hammer and trowel all over town. Mr. 11. I. Kimball has again become President of the new factory com pany, and is trying to put new life into a dead concern. If anybody can do it, ho can. Ho has an immense amount of brass and brains, pluck and plunder, and tact and trickery. If he can’t succeed one way, he will another. All jesting aside he is one of the most indomitably untiring men I ever knew, and don’t seem to know what fail moans. Ho can come as near making black appear white as any man in Atlanta. It has been proposed to have a grand sensation hero the 4tli of July, but I believe it will bo quite difficult DO kindle patriotic lire enough to mako much of a blaze. If Mr. Hayes will come down, as it is rumored lie may do, he may get up a first-class 4th of July sensation. Wo have had abundant rains of late, and the reports from the crops are quito favorable, except oats. The wheat has hot been so good for years. I have never seen such universally good wheat fields as I have seen this spring—the yield in some cases is ex traordinary. If the seasons continue good during the summer, I shall be lieve that lien Hill is right in saying, “The good time is coming.” And now,-Mr. Editor, before I close this rambling letter, allow mo to give a word of advice to you and your brother editor. The weather is too warm to continue the controversy about the circulation of your re spective papers;-take a glass of ice water and—keep cool. Whore is N. A. 13. ? Yours truly, V. General Grant and his son were “presented at C-ourt” by Minister Pierrepont at the levee held by the Prince of Yv T aio3 on behalf of the Queen on the 7th instant. , The num ber of presentations at the loveo was about 100. WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington, D. C., June 22, 1877. Tho President, though ready in conversation, and ablo to make a, good enough speech after prepare- 1 tion, is awkward as an elephant when ( : ho tries to muko tho “ few impromp jtu remarks,” that are expected on small ceremonial occasions. Presi- I dent Buchanan and President Pierce were the readiest and most delightful l of all our modern Chief Magistrates> in this lino, and President Lincoln put every one at ease as soon as ho began to speak. Grant is (or was, for ho seemed to have “ suffered a sea change into something rich and strange”) no speaker at all. It is odd that a man so ready in other respects as President Hayes should fail in this. But others have failed before him Ex-Speaker Banks, not a man who often suffers from lack of self | possession, mixes things strangely | sometimes. When he was called up | on at a New England dinner to speak to the Toast —“ tho Father of his Country”—he said that Washington was “One of tho few immortal names That flash is hair to." And iu a farewell address delivered jby him as Governor of Massachu -1 setts, lie informed his hearers that “a fellow-feeling makes the whole world kin.” The President must improvo himself in this respect, or tho orphans, the deaf and dumb, tile delegations of preachers and tho other bodies who occasionally call at the White House will find their best happiness in staying away. For a matter entirely outside of current politics, tho late refusal of of tho principal Saratoga Hotel to admit any Jew to its tables or rooms, excites immense discussion here. As long as the proprietors of the hotel ! violate no law thev can of course, | I conduct their house as they choose, and it may be said that most of re j cent legislation on this subject has been crude and in a high degree dis tasteful to the average white Ameri can. But looking at this case, not as tho law leaves it, nor as the usual American watering place, hotel keep er looks at it, but as an unprejudiced and financially disinterested citizen must, I think Mr. Hilton has done an unwise and unchristian thing. That tho particular Jew rebuffed iu this case is makiug a booby of himself a bout it does not effect the principal involved. YYlion Fred. Douglass visited his old slave home iu Maryland last Sun day,' lie addressed the colored men of the neighborhood, giving them much good advice. I fear most of it was thrown away on them, and if it is Fred has himself to thank for it, for he injudiciously touched ou the mon ey question, and they don’t believe in him financially. One would think a negro would be' exasperated to be told by the President of the late Freedmcn’s bank that “ to be respect ed the negro must get money—must get money and keep it.” The insti tution over which Douglass presided swindled the negroes of the Simth out of millions, and did more to dis courage habits of prudence and econ omy among them than anything else could have done. Though it is scmi-offieially denied that the President has made arrange ments “to visit the South, or has rented a cottage at the White Sul phur Springs, Va. ;the summer home of the politicians and tho fashion of the South, no one hero doubts that tho Southern trip will bo taken or that the President will make tiro oth er visit. Mr. Corcoran, our great banker, may not be one of tho new Presidential party, but he certainly expects to meet the Chief Magistrate while at the Spi’ings which he visits every summer, and where he owns, I believe a cottage. The President and Mr. Corcorau are very intimate friends—an intimacy however that dates only from last spring. Nemo. The Bullock Cases., We publish this morning the pro ceedings of the Fulton superior court in the Bullock cases. It is well known that just before the meeting in 18.71 of the legislature elected the year previous, Governor Bullock resigned his office and lied the State. In the summer of 1872 two indictments were found against him, one charging him with cheating and swindling, and the other with larceny after trust delegated. A little more than a year ago Bullock was arrested in New York brought to Georgia and released on bond, the cases being continued by mutual consent. Sorno days since bo came to Atlanta, and when the case was called the State’s eouusel was not ready and asked for a contin uance, which was granted. The de fendant then asked permission to put a demand for trial upon the minutes, byt the court refused to grant the request. It is generally understood that the trial will come on in August, but wo think tlio court should have allowed Bullock’s demand to go upon the minutes. Wo regret that the case was continued. Tho officers of the State owe it to the State and to the accused to have a trial as soon as possible. Bullock is cither innocent or guilty; if guilty, ho should be tried and convicted; if innocent, bo should be tried and acquitted. The proposi tion is very simple, and cannot bo controverted. The State has’ bad nearly six years in which to prepare fot a trial. Let us have one and put. an end to the matter.— Chronicle 4h.t Condituii nritit. Affairs About Atlanta. Atlanta, Ga., Juno 18, 1877. Evonts succeed events iu such rap id succession that tho occasional let ter writer not uufrequoutly finds him self sorely perplexed as to where he shall commence or where leave off. Iu the good old ante-bellum days, whon slow coaches and one-horse mails were the only facilities afforded for diffusing tho news, people had some little time for reflection in tho intervals between mail days, wherebj to study the details and draw conclu sions ; but times have changed, and in their stead we have tho electrical flash and fast mail train, and ho who would keep himself posted that he may float along with tho current of time, must needs road fast, think fast, and spare precious little time in form ing opinions or arriving at conclu sions. The events of yesterday are stale to-day, and important indeed must that occurrence be even to elicit a casual reference. Tho dead past must bury its dead; the living pres ent must only be discussed, while we probe the womb of time lor coming events. Be they good, bad, or indif ferent, it is all the same; the people demand them, and they must bo serv ed to suit tiro occasion. Such is life in the metropolis, and your correspondent finds himself ill at ease when 1m conics to chronicle events for the perusal of your read ers. Occurrences thero are, tho de tails of which would fill column af ter column of your paper, but they have already been diffused through out the State either by tho telegraph or the morning papers, and hence are bex-eft of interest. There is, howev er, a collateral, or undercurrent, of sentiment often prevailing, from which one may not unfrequeutly de rive different conclusions to that sent out through the regular channels of communication. In other words, that Which is given forth for public consideration, i3 not always private sentiment. Political considerations are rather dormant at present, and the “ politi cal weather-cocks” are standing around on the “ragged edge” of des pair, anxiously awaiting, Micawbor like, for something to “ turn up.” There is an undercurrent of senti ment, rather vaguely hinted at by a few, that the coming constitutional convention will spring questions that will serve as an entering wedge in severing the strength of the Demo cratic party of the State, What these questions are is not shadowed forth very definitely; but that efforts will be made to consummate such a result, there is not tho least possible) doubt. The disaffected office-seekers through out the State aro ready to seize upon any pretext, no matter of how trivial a character, that will subserve their purpose. The trial of ex-Governor Bullock, which was given out some time since would come off iu the early part of this month, has been postponed until some time in August. The ex-Gov ernor made his appearance in Court and through Ins counsel, demanded a hearing immediately, but to no pur pose. As one excuse for not trying him, the prosecuting attorney had important business elsewhere to at tend to; and another was, the recent death of the Judge of this Circuit, and the appointment of another, ne cessitated a change iu the court cal endar. This latter excuse may be considered by some as a very plausi ble excuse; but there are those who ridicule it, and think just as good and plausible excuses will be formed for still deferring the case when tho time set for a hearing rolls around again. Your correspondent has al ready prophesied in regard to this case, and has no occasion to with draw it. Tho affairs of the Atlanta Cotton Factory, since tho re-election of 11. J. Kimball as President, and a now board of directors, are shapeing themselves towards a satisfactory so lution, and promises aro made that an early starting of the machinery may be looked for. The factory might have been running long ago, but greedy avarice entered its coun cils and came near working its ruin. There are many conflicting opinions as to tte real motives animating the disaffected directors, the rehearsal of which would bo too voluminous for your columns; but that which gains most credence is avarice and self aggrandizement. Zed. Baltimore is us excited over tho tumble in Baltimore and Ohio stock as Philadelphia was over the fall in the slock of its great railroad. Balti more and Ohio has fallen off $43 a share within sixty days. The city of Baltimore, tho State of Maryland and Johns Hopkins university are largo holders of this stock, and this adds to the general public interest. It is generally understood that the company has failed to negotiate a $5,01)0,000 loan abroad, on which it depended to tide it o.'er the present depression. Thus far in June there have been in this country twenty-nine successful bangings, and tho frieucs of law and, order begin frrtuke hope. It is Found at Last! Something New Under this Hun.

DAVID WEISBEIN, NAVA.NNAII, < LA. -yyE AllE CONSTANTLY IN RECEIPT OF A GREAT MANY inquiries from all parts of this State and Florida, wlicrb we do not advertise, 'so that we find it almost impossible to answer each inquiry separately. We now take this method to explain to tbo readers of THE REPORTER all the particulars necessary for them to know'. In a very short time we will publish in this paper as COMPLETE A PRICE LIST AS IS POSSIBLE. Wc How call your especial attention to this: 1. We will send samples to any one who will write us for them, with prices attached, provided a 11 cent postage stamp is enclosed and overy arti cle mentioned which parties desire, and can be sampled; but do not write us to send you samples of everything, for that is impossible. W rite us for samples of such goods only as yoit have a notion of purchasing. Remember also, samples only give an idea of whilt the goods are, but ltd Hot give the article full justice; 2. Do not have any hesitancy in ordering the goods you want, for wo guarantee every article to come up to sample, and if unsatisfactory, it can be returned to us at our expense, aud we will refund the money. 3. Should any article turn out unsatisfactory, which might occur through an oversight of otherwise, do ndt prejudge us of having done so intentionally, but give us the benefit of the doubt, aud before returning it, write us your complaint, so that, if possible, we might arrange matters satisfactorily, without the trouble aud expense of returning. 4. Calicoes we cannot always match ih the pattern, as we sell large quantities of goods and it is impossible to keep every pattern for any length of time. Such and similar goods we guarantee to fill, by giving the same quality, and as near the pattern nS possible. 5. We ask as a favor, that parties order ing goods be very particular in writing their name and shipping point in plain letters, to avoid mistakes; also, to make their order as definite as possible, especially on articles of which samples cannot tie sent, we would ask to give us a limit in the price, to enable us to form a proper idea of what the article is to' be.' 8. Do not order any goods unless yoit have the money ready to pay for them. 9. We prepay the freight on all orders amounting to twenty dollars or over. This is the very best we can do, fof our profit is so slight (as we retail our goods at wholesale prices) that we cannot afford to do better. We admit there tire houses who pay freight on ten dollars worth of goods, bub common sense teaches plainly that their profit must be iWrgef than ours, or else they could not afford to do it, and, therefore, in nub cases/ the party ordering the goods of such a house pays the freight 1 nil—only indirectly Wc have endeavored to bb as honest and catidid in oisr statements as the language at our command caff do it, and if this fails to'convince, we do not know what can. We hold oOtsclves legally responsible to ; carry out tho above assertions and consider this a binding contract, entered upon by us freely anti Volun tary, and affirm it herewith by our signature. Very Respectfully, DAVID \VKIWIHOI>. No. 160 Broughton Street, Savannah-, Ga uiiof iii 1:1,11; of THE CHE Al’ DRY GOODS' HOUSE- o>. Whenever it Is possible, we prefer the money to accompany the order, but we will send the goods 0. O. D. (cash on de livery) by Express, and if requested* we will instruct the agent, to open the package for examination before paying for it. 7. We do not sell on credit under any consideration.
