8 THE GEORGIA CAPITAL. Notwithstanding the metropolitan or National charac ter of The Sony South, we are compelled to have a de partment for local noticet. The growing importance and sensational character of this city cannot be ignored. LOCAL NOTES. Atlanta has over thirty churches. Broad Street Bridge affords the finest view of a sunset of any point in the city. Atlanta is metropolitan in all its characterist ics. Her street railway system is not excelled anywhere. There are a large number of buildings in pro- ; cess of erection in Atlanta. The outlook for her future prosperity is good. The Young Men’s Library is the fashionable 1 resort. Their hall is splendidly arranged, and Charles Herbst, the librarian, has a peculiar fit- j ness for the position. He is passionately fond of antiquities, curiosities, flowers, and ladies and other works of art. The walls of the Atlanta Cotton Factory are going up rapidly, and so is real estate in its neighborhood. Atlanta, by all means, should have a city hos pital. What has become of the Atlanta City Hos pital Association? • The Young Men’s Christian Association are silently, but not the less effectually, “going about doing good.” The Atlanta drummer will go down in history as sui generis. For making sales and making love, he is unsurpassed. The public schools, Atlanta’s pride, are in full operation. It is gratifying to know of the pro gress attained by the children. Atlanta will have two cotton compresses at w r ork soon, and it is anticipated that her cotton receipts will be doubled by them. The Atlanta Benevolent Association numbers among its members the most active philanthro pic ladies of the city. They are doing untold good. If you would study human character in all its phases, stop awhile at Whitehall street crossing and view the actions of the crowds stopped by shifting trains. Many thanks to our esteemed friend, Dr. Tay lor, the live druggist, for two large bottles of ex cellent cologne of his own make. He has sold thirteen barrels of it. The Boys of Atlanta will commence soon the publication of a daily amateur paper, The Daily Mirror, at two dollars per annum. It will reflect the sentiments of young Atlantadom. The Markham Hotel, on the old site of Wash ington Hall, will be completed by December. It will be one of the best-arranged in the State. Col. J. E. Owens, the proprietor, knows how to keep a hotel. Saturday evening is the time to see Atlanta in a bustle. Then the citizens are on the streets, having finished their week’s labor. The streets and stores are crowded, and a stranger is struck with the life that permeates the city. Oakland Cemetery is well-arranged and well- kept. Yet, the hands there, in making an exca vation, at the depth of six feet dug up a live frog. How the frog got there, and how long it had been there, is a conundrum. His mouth was closed. W. W.

The meal ended, one of them strolled leisurely some distance away, busily engaged in viewing and admiring the scenery. Looking toward the horizon, he saw the far-off moun tains, and his eagle eye took in at a glance the topography of the country by which he was then surrounded. He was so much absorbed in his subject that his companion took occasion to ask him the cause of his unusual interest. “I was just thinking wl at a magnificent inland city will at no distant day be built here,” was his response. The man who spoke so prophetically thirty-six years ago was Hon. Alexander H. Ste phens, w’ho has lived to see it verified. The station-peg of the Georgia Railroad was planted near where Alabama and Whitehall streets intersect. Near it there was a small, one- room log house, with a dirt floor, occupied by a poor woman and her daughter. It was then called “Terminus.” In 1842, it was incorpo rated as “Marthasville,” and in 1847, as the “City of Atlanta.” In 1850, it had a population of 5,000; in 1860, 10,000; in 1870, 25,000; and now, over 35,000. Atlanta is the highest point of any commer cial importance in the railway system of the South, having an altitude of 1100 feet above tide water,—900 feet higher than Augusta, Macon, Columbus and Montgomery; between 300 and 400 feet higher than Rome, Dalton and Chatta nooga; and more than 700 feet higher than St. Louis. A line stretched over the map from the Cape of Delaware to the Rio Grande, and from Fernandina, Florida, to St. Louis, will cross each other near the city. She is, from her cen tral geographical position, a grand center. She has already won her title as a commercial center, and will soon be known as a medical center, as it is now a health center. The culture of music has rapidly developed here, and few cities so young can boast of more vocal and instrumental talent than Atlanta. It is also destined to become a great manufacturing center. The completion of the Marietta and North Georgia Railroad will open up the vast mineral resources of North Georgia, while the Georgia Western opens up the illimitable coal fields of Alabama. The Great Western Canal, too, will contribute its share with cheap coal and water power. Spin dles and furnaces will be in active operation, and the millions of dollars annually sent North and West will be retained at home. The whistle of the steamboat will be heard mingling with the shriek of the locomotive, as the former goes steaming by on the canal, carrying the produce of the West to the Atlantic coast. Atlanta, too, will become a literary center, and the future great publishing house for the South, where the works of Southern authors will be pub lished. will be located here. The great model newspaper, too, will be printed here, giving tone and shape to popular opinion, instead of pan dering to a morbid and sensational-loving pop ulace. Here, too, it is proper that the literary journal of the South should find its birth-place, and The Sunny South fully fills the bill. POLITICAL NOTES. STATE AND NATIONAL. BY A LIVE POLITICIAN. The old remark that “politics makes strange bed-fellows” is likely to have a complete verifi cation if a financial plank is ] ut in the National platform of political parties n< xt year. Hard or soft money is the issue now in some of the States, and is assuming such proportions as to indicate that it will be carrif d into the race for President at the next election. If it is, it will look a little strange to see G<n. Butler, Judge Kelley, Jefferson Davis, Senator Gordon and Governor Allen quietly resting on a rag-money platform, while Senator Thurman, Senator Sher man, Senator Conkling and Speaker Blaine con tent themselves with the ring ot hard money, and labor for safety in the same boat.

Now that looks like progress. Let’s abolish the courts, too; it’s all foolishness. True, long time ago there were simple-minded people, who, poor things, never had the advan tage of the wiseacres who live now, who thought trial by jury of enough importance to contend for with life, but the wisdom of some folks now- shows how foolish that was then. Progress ! increased wisdom ! out with juries! It’s so much better to be tried by one man; our lives and property would be so much safer ! And here we have been nearly one hundred years before we found it out! After all, we are not certain but some people prefer not to be tried at all. And that may be the best; who knows? Don’t let all the wise men speak at once, for we are young. We are not a great man, and never have been a great man. And now that the standard has got so high, we have despaired of ever being a great man. Now, there is John Buncomb, who says that Carey says, and other writers have said, that juries are co-ordinate branches of the courts, and that this co-ordina tion gives to juries the right to recommend, re port or present whatever is necessary and proper in the opinion of the jury, without reference to the judge, his dignity, or anything of the kind; and further, that a judge who disallows this lat itude to a jury is an usurper. • As soon as we heard this proposition advanced, we said, that is so. But to our unutterable con fusion, as soon as we had settled down on that as the “law of the case,’’another great man came on and said: “Juries are nothing—they are worse than nothing; they are too cumbersome, and ought to be abolished.” The climax of this argument was such that our enthusiasm got to where we forgot our for mer position, and then and there swore this last was the thing. Time and reflection brought to our mind our unfortunate dilemma. Now, we submit, in the name of all that is good, if great men ought not to get together and agree; else, a common man will never know which side to take. under the same roof.

We are constantly reminded of a want of en terprise in people. Failures are attributable to that more than any other cause. The want of a new bloody shirt in Maine has been clearly shown by the result of the late elections there. Morton and Blaine held up the old one and pointed to the blood stains, but they were so dim the people could not see them. Pinch back is not a stirring negro, or he would have furnished the shirt, blood and all. The truth is, Pinch is thinking too much of his standing color. To get up a taking campaign document like that, affords a scope of fancy. We are con strained to record our regrets that it was neg lected. Serenade.—Scribbling away by our solitary lamp on Monday night, we were recalled from fancy’s regions by the near sound of music; and throwing aside pen and paper, we listened to a delightful serenade from the Stone Mountain Band. The music was very fine, and the com pliment timely and highly appreciated. The Stone Mountain Band, conceded to be the finest in the State, is composed of young men of the town, with Mr. Summey as their leader. It re flects great credit upon their talent and indus try. The motto of Atlanta is “always ahead,” and she boasts pardonably of her water works, her canal projects, her ice and her cotton facto ries; but in the matter of a band of music, she yields the palm to her little sister of Stone Mountain, and upon special occasions has to call in her aid in making the “ concord of sweet sounds.” * Inyarlable human experience teaches us that we hate whom we have w-ronged, rather than him who has wronged us.—J.

Actions sometimes speak louder than words; and if his conduct has been such as to make certain im pressions upon your mind and that of the public he should see to it that you do not suffer in public estimation; and we have no doubt he is a gentleman, and will do so.

The following young men, boys, old men, widowers, bachelors, girls, yonng- ladies, old maids, and dashing widows, wish to correspond with each other or somebody else for fun, mutual improvement, and perhaps matrimony.

Special to Advertiser*.—We have uniformly de clined to insert advertisements in this paper at any price, but the pressure to secure even a small space in it has been very great, and we have reluctantly consented to open two columns to a few first-class advertisers. None others need apply. Fifty cents per line will be charged for each and evei'y insertion. There will be no variation from these rates. The matter will be set and measured in solid nonpareil, with an average of from nine to ten words to the line. A few responsible, first-class houses can se cure a little space at these rates.—[Prop. Sunny South. Our First Advertisers.—We take great pleasure in presenting Messrs. McBride & Co. and Madame Speigle as our first patrons in this department. They have man ifested great wisdom in securing The Sunny South as an advertising medium. Through it they will reach tens of j thousands of people every week. A visit to the magnificent establishment of McBride k Co., on Pryor street, will convince any one of the truth fulness of all they say in their advertisement. Madame Speigle and Mrs. Durand form the very finest combination of millinery skill and taste that could have beeu made in the State. Both have an extensive reputa tion already, and their store will become the bazar of fashion.

That is a mistake about its being a “patent tooth-picker.” The mountain people will never take to a man who has no higher ambition than that. It’s a trap he is running, that man in the mountains, to catch gulls. “Walk into my par lor, said the spider to the fly.” “ Engineer,” of Atlanta, and F. Werber, Jr., of Newberry, South Carolina, put us right on the cannon ball question of the last issue. We were clearly at fault in our answer, and a mo ment’s reflection would have prevented the error. Thanks to these gentlemen for the correction. “Engineer” says: “If you will pardon the pre sumption, I beg leave to differ with you. Under the circumstances mentioned, the ball, having already acquired the velocity of the car, would leave the gun with double the velocity with which itwould be projected from thegun atrest: hence* at the moment it struck the ground (the car continuing to move"), it would be exactly the same distance from the muzzle of the gun as it would were the gun fired while stationary, leav ing out the resistance of the atmosphere. If, however, the order of things be reversed, and muzzle point toward the rear of the car, the gun would leave the ball, and the latter would drop to the ground in a vertical line from the point at which the gun was fired.” F. Werber, Jr., writes a clear and full exposi tion of the point involved, and from it we take the following: “It is a law of mechanics that if two forces are applied at the same point and act in the same direction, their resultant is equal to the sum of the two forces. (Peck’s Elements of Mechanics, page 25.) Now, we have acting on the ball on the train two forces,—first, the force of the steam engine, and second, the force of the powder, either one of which acting alone would give it a velocity equal to that of the train. Since the velocities are proportioned to the i forces (the mass of the ball being constant), it — „ T l follows that the velocity imparted to the ball in The State Fair m approaching.
