Newspaper Page Textw O)tnfmnn Reporter. JOS. TILLMAN, Editor. THURSDAY. I)ECEMIU;It 13, 1877. Halillcation of tlio N:mv CoithliUi lion. The Empire State has been redeem od from Radical contamination. The Radicals voted solidly against its rat ification, and for Atlanta as the Cap ital. It seems t.lmt the adoption of the Now Constitution will none a the calling of the Legislature togeth er; from the fact, that tin.- late Con vention dismissed the last Legislature, and hence vacated the die sof IV ident of the Senate and Spe hero!' the House, v. , in the ev< n! -if death of the Governor, would h a ve no officer to assume the office of Gov ernor. And again, the New Consti tution changes the jury sv,e m, and gives tho right to appoal from the petit to special juries, and also au thorizes the use of juri in Justice! Courts. Those rights and privileges go into effect from the day of the adoption of the New Constitution, and ns there is no provision ni. de for these exigences, it becomes imperative that the Legislature be called together at once, iu extra session. So you nmv look out for a proclamation from the Governor, concerning the Legislating, iu the early part of January. The following, from tho Atlanta Constitution, is the 1 test report con cerning the recent election: Majorities for Atlanta f,3,13 Majorities for Milledgoville. .“A. ir>A Majority for Atlanta. 10,075 For ratification 00,60 i Against ratification.. 3,000 Majority for ratification. . . .03,531 Homestead of 1877 13,386 .Homestead of 1808 9,17-1 .

Tin. people are watching his case with ■ much anxiety. Will high official po sition mitigate crime ? Will the law-, which are presumed to apply to all alike, be satisfied that this noted •criminal be exonerated, and go : colt free, while others who are less guilty suffer the severest penalties of the Jaw? We hope not. Our ticket for Congress: For Sena tor, Hon. John B. Gordon; for Rnp resentative, Capt. H. G. Turner, of Brooks.—Berrien County News. These arc our u- aliments brother Turner, exactly, and herein our hand, let us go for them, there are none bet ter to ho found in the Umpire State. We will depend upon you. The Builington Hawkeye, a Radi cal paper, says: “What a consistent son of a sea-cook Stanley Mathews i-. 1 Ho went to Louisana and did all h could to disorganize the legally ■ loo ted Legislature of that State, and now votes to admit Kellogg, which war elected by the Legislature which he aided in disbanding.” The majority for Atlanta a., tin- Capital will be over -10,000. The Philosophy of Periodical Drunks. Dr. Cummings, of North Britain, Connecticut, claims that the habit of liquor drinking establishes upon the mucous lining, or "coats,” of the stomach an inflamed condition, in evil-looking red patches, which are visiblo after the patient dies and his body has been subjected to a post mortem dissection. The men who have “periodical drunk:the doctor argues, are drawn to alcoholic drinks at about such a time, whatever the! time may be, becauso the condition ‘ of their stomachs, in healing, under nature’s efforts, periodically reaches . ■ancort ain,. stage which calls imoern- nr more rum.

ThCw ATLANTA LETTER. Atlanta, Ga., Hoc. 5, 1777. Enmni Quitman Bm-ourai: It has been Homo timo some yon saw tho color of my ink, and I am do | termined that it shad not bo so any longer. If i wore a newspaper lie ! I‘onn.ii, and had a happy tact in the 1 use of the pen, I “Tint mighty iu-Onuunnl n! Kttl..- mini !" I might write a long letter in giving j you spicy incidents of scenes and j events occurring in our city on this great “election day.” The town is i stirred from centre to circumference, j and every available (I had almost said man, woman and child) voter is | being marshalled to the polls. Besides j tho exciting and absorbing question i of constitution and removal, and ineiu- I bers of tho Legislature, wo have an j election for Aldermen with two tick ets—one tho regular nominees, the | other independents. Atlanta has never been so excited j over an election—certainly for n long time. There arc about 10 candidate-. more or less, for the lower house, and j each one sec-ms confident of success i -Is you will eo by the local columns of the Constitution, a large part of the paper of this morning is consumed in puffing candidates and showing which side is right and who ought to he j sent to the “Halls of our Fathers”— ; or more likely, “they sav,” to the new Capital, and who should be the “Fathers of our Halls” in Atlanta. 1 am utmost disgusted with all this talk and sometimes wish there were no elections. Right or wrong, lam one of the few t licit C aiinot ho found at the polls, but I want you to understand that I am an “Atlanta man,” of course, though feeling no very great concern where cur law-makers crack peanuts and read newspapers. The Atlanta people profess to bo very con fident of success, but lam not sure their props are well grounded. We will all know by tins time to-morrow, and then I hope wc shall have peace. We have just closed a series of very interesting Sunday School Institute exercises at the Second Baptist Church. I think we accomplished more, by far, than at any previous meeting. Not only have our mem bers been aroused to a higher sense of their obligations, and our teachers ; stimulated to greater efforts, but we : have taken steps to inaugurate a reg i ular Teachers Normal Class or School i for the better training and improve | meat of-those who shall enter upon this work. Dr. Gwin, of the Second i Church, delivered on Sunday night, j one of the best addresses on Sunday i ; School work it was over my privilege ; ■ to hear. I hope to visit the Mercer Associa-1 tiou in January, and trust that anew impetus will be given to tho Sunday ! School cause in your section of the ! State. Please tell tho brethren to b< getting ready and let all resolve to | have some grand meetings. I always have enjoyed my visits to the Mercer,! and am looking forward with more than usual pleasure to my next trip, ' and will hold myself ready to do the i best and hardest work and to receive j with gratitude, all expressions of re gard at the hand -: of my brethren and friends. I have had no letter from any friend down your way in a long time. I have wondered why K. B. G., ft. D., W. I*. 8., N. A. 15., 0. . 0 8., W. B. 8., and especially my earnest, faith ful Sunday School friend, It. A. 13. or J. M. It., or some others don’t write me —not a line or a contribution for many months—l am afrai 1 lam al most forgotten. Even my faithful lit tie correspondent has ignored me of late. Wo are to have in April a grand gathering of tho Sounday School j workers of the world in Atlanta. The I International Sunday School Conven-1 J I tiou meets here tho 17Ui, ISth, and i 19th, and wo are looking forward to it I with the highest expectations of in- j terpsfc and pleasure. I will tell you | moi'o about it before tho time of meet- j ing. Grace, Mercy and Peace. Vi.vroit. I P. S. Uncle Shad lias half-way promised to bo with mo at my meet ings in the Mercer, V.

(From Onr Regular Correspondent. 1 Washington, D. C., Nov. 7. Fiirron Quitman Rltohtku: Judge Humphreys, of our District Supremo Court, yesterday decided t'i-.a! J ii L’attorson, living a Senator from South Carolina, and there being fears that lie would not bo fairly tried if returned to that State, should not be surrendered oil the requisition of I Governor Hampton. There may pos sibly be sense and law in tho Judge’s | proposition that a Senator of the Uni ted States, while the Semite is in ses sion and ho is in attendance, cannot bo reached by State process. But surely no man except Judge Hum phreys would gone into the question whether or not tho fugitive would re ceive a fair trial in the jurisdiction from which his surrender came. This act. dialling drei. ion should be inquir ed into. The Judge is appointed by the President and paid by tho United • Lutes. On Monday iho first day of the, regular session, the nomination of E. | A. Hoyt as the Commissioner of In dian Affairs was sent to the Senate. As Hoyt hml been previously nomin ated, and the Senato had given no official notice ofuis non-confirmation, this supposed act of Mr. Hayes was the subject of much comment. It is | now said that not Mr. Hayes, but ! Secretary Sohurz, in the name of j Mr. Ilaycs, sent iu the nomination. This would be a greater error than for Hayes to do it, for, besides having : no such right at any time, Secretary J .Sohurz. by reason of service in the | Senate, must be supposed to bo fu | miliar with the course of business j | between the Executive aud that j j body. In tlic House, on Tuesday, a bill j was passed without opposition, re- j pealing these portions of tho revised j statutes which virtually put it in the i power of a Federal Judge to exclude • from Juries, any person suspected i * * *• ! by him of having attempted to pre-1 vent the enforcement of certain lavvo j since declared unconstitutional by the j Cupreine Court. Quite a number of troops are on i their way to the lib Crumlo. It is known also that too Mexican force |on that river is being reinforced, j Gen. Ord, commanding there, is in i this city, and insists upon the need !of a much larger force. Ho n-pre- I seats that the Mexicans on tho bor- j i . ! dor sic m full sympathy with Indian j and Mexican raiders into Texas. Aside from its treatment of the | money question the message of Mr. j Hayes sent to Congress on the -Iti. : is not one to receive enthusiastic: p-'e.isc, or decided condemnation! | Its treatment of the Southern ones- ! tiou \iiii be acceptable to most cit izens, but to a vast number of Rad- j ieals it wiil not be. The short ref- 1 erencc to the Administration’-, eiul service policy shows that Mv. Hayes appreciates, in part at lend, the uni-1 versal belief that hi s attofnpts in that - direction were neither sincere nor 1 successful. The holiday recess of Congress I will probably commence in about a j week, raid continue at least a month, home of the work of the regular ses ; sion was performed at the special j session, and many speeches prepared 1 on the finances and other subjects : have already been delivered. Work ; docs not press heavily, and Cou | pressmen are inclined to rest for a 1 time. The first number of the Washington Democratic daily, appears this mor ning'. It has some of the inevitable defects of a first issue, but is very creditable, editorially and mechanic ally, to those concerned iu its pro duction. The enterprise was endors ed yesterday by it caucus of the House | Democrats. It is asserted, but the story is j contradicted, that Secretary Everts ! has made to Senator Colliding pro- ■ posals for a settlement of the dispute j as to Now York appointments. The j story is unlikely. The “New York appointments” most disliked by Conk- J ling was that of Evarts himself. Be sides, tho Senator has greater griev ances than attach to mere offices. It is safe to dismiss the story ecl. Austin. | A little girl in Clinton, 111., was j teaching her little brother the Lord's j prayer the other day, and, when she j had said, “Give us this day our daily | qread,”he suddenly called ontd'l’riiy for syrup, too, sister; pray for syrup too!” A New York chemist says he wants nothing more than three pails, a bar rel of old water and twenty cents worth of drugs to make sis gallons of just such chatnpango as fools pay a dollar ft pint for. A young lady, vesideng in a border town, was heard to remark in regard lo her father’s snoring, that “the neighbors all set out their wash-tubs, thinking that a thunder storm was i corning up.

[Fn.ru the Marietta Journal.] To the owners of wild lands in Georgia, mostly widows ami orphans, I write to tell you by forms of law you are now bring robbed of your lands by an act of the Legislature. All unrctnrnod wild laud after acer ! tain time were to be sold. Under i that net the Comptroller General has j seen fit to issue Ei Fas against all lots i that seem to be in default, and lias isuld and given control of said Fi Fas j to any one who paid tho tax, and fifty cents extra for the Fi Fa. Land spec j ulators have gone in many instances i and got control of these Fi Fas, and I numbers of lots arc now advertised | for sale on the first Tuesday in Jann i ary next, and will bo sold, should the j Governor not issue some order for bidding it. On the 10th day of March, 1875, the Comptroller General issued a j sheet headed “Wild Land Sales,” two of which was sent to every county iu i the State,- one for the Ordinary and I one for the Clerk, containing a li.it of I all numbers that wore not returned i for 1874, and on August 31st, 1877, j ho had published i.i tho Atlanta Con | iititutiou two lis*s of numbers one for 1575 and one for LAG. In these list.-; I there must be from ten to twenty i thousand lots varying in size from fractions of a few acres each to -190 . acres each. Tho tax has been paid on ! hundreds of those lots, honestly paid, and still they will bo sold, and the reason is this, the tax receiver in ma ny instances allowed tax payers to give in their lands, some without re gard to number, some without re gard to district and some without re gard to section. Wien cither was omitted the land is advertised for tax, as the Comptroller could by no means locate the lot. And another way ma ny lots are advertised in default. Ma ny mistakes are made by tax receivers b e the misplacing of one figure, and by making figure that no person can tel! what they are. There are plenty of hooka made out by the receivers of tax that has hundreds of numbers that they could not even tell what they arc, and not a man on earth car. Many of you look at your tax books aud find your number an 1 think you are safe. I have found tho lauds giv en in perfect, and paid for, and by a mistake of tho Clerk in the wild land office the land was advertised in de fault and a Fi. Fa issued against it. There is no safety that I can see only t 1 get one of the lists of 1871, issued too 10th day of March, 1875, and the two lists published iu tim A (Junta Con stitution of August 31st, 1877, and look through them, and when you look through them you \yili find that they are very complicated, evpecialy ihe lists of 1871. In fact I don’t be lieve the man who made it out could define it. My honest opinion is the whole thing is a fraud and the Gov ernor ought to put a stop to it. Tile persons mostly to bo injured sire es tate-,, widows and orphans who can not see that they are bejnx, robbed. They ought to have some mercy shown them, and 1 Lu g tho Govern or wdl itilercc-de. Jl he does not,' we must Mi do the best we can, end go to work and find out how nmnv of our lots are gobbled up. We will' be put to a world <k trouble and much cx penco, miiiWo may save .■■omething out of tho wreck by close watching and Croat perseverance. I propose to do .ill I ear. to .save my own hind, mid the land of mi for whom lam acting as agent, and I make this proposition to ail owners of wild land who have not been so lucky as to get hold of these three wild., land advertisements for 1874, 1875 aud 187(5, that if they will send me their land numbers, with dis trict and section with two postage stamps to pay for stationery and stamp to return, 1 will -examine tho three lists I have, amt if f find their lands adver tised I will inform them of if, that they may go to work and save some part of their land’s value. ‘ Wo have twelve months from the day of sale to save what will bo left after paying tax and all cost with 20 per cent, added, i say in conclusion my private opinion publicly expressed is that a greater wrong lias lieVor boon clone the Stab of (ieorgia and its citizens, and ne\ti| will be it the programme now go : J on is carried out. If the land he; tm he sold why could the Stale not have done it. What reason is there /or controlling these Fi Fas to more;/cm speculators that they may advertise them in county papers for four weeks where the true owner will tnstuy in stances never ;,;ee or hear of it- The number now advertised throughout j tho State will not lie seen or heard of j by one man out of ten until after they j arc sold. You may talk of Bullock I and Yazoo frauds, if carried out this I will can them all. Owners of wild j land Witiah and see. Stand and let your haul earnings be filched out of you.
