Purchase of the Opera Souse.
SPEECH BY SENATOR NUNN ALLY.
Below we publish substantially the
speech of Senator NdnnaHy, delivered
on Friday, on the proposition to pur
chase the Kimball Opera House for a
State Capitol. The synopsis given by
the Son Saturday morning was inac
curate in some particulars and a fuller
synopsis is given in order that Mr.
Nunnwify’s position may be under-
It seems to have become a custom
' with some gentlemen, no matter what
question, or how important it is, to
bring in all the outside issues that can
be brought into the disoussion of a
but particularly for the lobbies and gal
lery. He haa toe gentleman from the
84th, Mr. Candler, upon this question,
during the session of 1869, and the
speech then was one of the best he
had heard for the purchase of this
building as a Capitol; and now, that
the gentlemen hod made an able argu
■ ment against its purchase, if he has
not convinced him that the Capitol
ought not to be purchased, he certain
ly has convinced him that he could
make a good speech upon either side
of the question. It seems to matter
but little, upon which side he was.
But Mr. President, I propose to deal
with this question os its importance
demands. As it is conceded by all
that the Capitol is a fixed fact, as to its
location in Atlanta, it is not necessary
that I should make an argument to
show that it is not only improbable,
but impossible to remove the Capitol
to MUledgeville. It was not only lo
cated by the Convention of 1867, but
the acts of the Convention were rati
fied by a large majority of the people
of the State. Passing from this ques
tion, we come immediately to the main
question before the Senate, that is, the
purchase of this building for the Cap
itol. What is the proposition made by
your committee in their resolutions ?
Ist, that the city of Atlanta hod made
a proposition to the Constitutional
Convention, in view of the fact that
the Convention would locate the Cap
itol in the city of Atlanta, that the city
would arrange for a Capitol for ten
years, free of cost, and ten acres of
land in the city, upon which to build a
Capitol. That Atlanta has fully com
plied with her oontraet cannot be de
nied, and for two sessions your Leg
islature has had the benefits of herlib-
entity.
lathis connection it has been con
tended by some that it was the duty
of Atlanta to also famish the Capitol
suitable furniture; bat of this then was
and is now a difference of oyinion and
the Governor saw proper to advance
fifty-four thousand, five dol
lars, to the Messrs Kimball, the par
ties with whom the city of Atlanta had
contracted for the Kimball Opera
House, but which at that time was in
an unfinished condition; and the Sen
ator from the 84th District, although
owning property in Atlanta and hav
ing his law office hen, ought to have
known better than to have called it an
old patched up concern. It was fin
ished for the purposes of a Capitol,
and its finish from cellar to garret is
as complete for a Capitol as any build
ing I have ever semi in any of the Sou
thern States. It is as well arranged
as the Capitol at Nashville, if not bet
ter in many respects, though the lat
ter cost the State of Tennessee three
million dollars; and the only differ
ence is that the latter is of stone and
this of brick. Some Senators have sud
denly become alarmed for fear of the
building falling down, and point us to
a crack in the plastering, which they
are pleased to call a breach in the walL
It is strange that some of these Sena
tors connofc tell the difference between
a crack in the plastering and one in
the wall.
But to return, this* fifty-four thous
and and five hundred dollars was ap*
propriated to purohase the necessary
furniture for the Capitol, and whilst
there is a difference of opinion as to
who is indebted for this furniture, it is
certain that the Legislature took pos
session of the building with the furni
ture as purchased by the Governor,
wit have need the aame tor nearly two
years; and are wa not bound by tak
ing possession of the same to pay its
this purchase in order to ‘save the
ft the State is not liable for it, the
parties are fully able torpay the same.
But this argument is outside of the
present question. The question is,
shall we purchase this building at the
price, as has been reoommeded by your
committee ? Vow to the figures, and
hero I wish the attention of Senator*
This building is ofiered for SBBO,OOO,
ijp^^hadto
not vote for its purchase. But here
do we find in thn, as m all other eases,
the city of Atlanta adds another lau
rel to her already well’ earned reputa
tion for the Überahty and indomitable
perseverance of her people. The City
Council propose to pay of .this amount
$130,000. Add to this the amount $76,-
000 for which the State will be bound
for the furniture, and yon have two
hundred and six thousand dollars to
deduct from the SBBO,OOO, and the Cap
ital without the fnrniture will hove oost
you a little over one hundred and sev
enty-four thousand dollars. Then as
a financial mote either to the individ
uals or to th® State, is it not wise
to purchase this property which is
worth at th# lowest calculation $300,-
000 ? It is "true that the State will give
her bondar for two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars which will run for
twenty years, but of this amount $76,-
000 the State owes for furniture, which
leaves the amount $174,000. If it
be true that the State is not bound
for this $76,000 expended for furniture,
then the State gets this property for
$250,000 and there is no man who will
not say the property is fully worth the
amount It will be see mat by this
purchase, your bonds do not mature
under twenty years, and daring this
time, if rents oontinaeasthey now are,
Se rent of the various offices and
sement for which the State has no
use, the handsome sum of twelve or
fourteen thousand dollars is realized
for rents.
Suppose that you decline this con
tract, Atlanta gives the use of this
building for eight years longer. You
use it without cost, the rent consumes
the $130,000 which Atlanta proposes
to give, and at the expiration of the
eight years you are without a Capitol.
And if you undertake to build, as some
seem to desire, it will cost the State at
least three million dollars. If you ac
cept the offer, you have a Capitol for
fifty years or more, which not only an
swers the purposes of a Capitol, but is
well adapted few the use, as an orna
ment to the city, and reflects credit
upon the contractors, who have spared
no pains or money in fitting it for
State purposes.
But, says the Senator from the 84th,
Mr. Candler, your treasury is exhaus
ted, and my oiend from the 42d, Mr.
Burns, says your railroad is paying
nothing into the Treasury, and there
fore, you most wait Yes wait and
bnild a Capitol costing the States3,ooo,-
000; tax the people to pay it, and
when yon have built, you nave a Cap
itol not as well fitted for the purpose
as the present one. No, Mr. Presi
dent, let os deal with this question as
sensible men consulting the best inter
est of the people, and not look to out
side pressure, which we may be promp
ted to oppose for selfish purposes.
The gentleman from the 34th says
he has some property in the city, and
he may desire to bnild the Capitol
on or near his property to enhance
its value.
Ido not say he so desires, but I
learn there are persons opposing the
purchase of this building for that rea
son, and I know of no one in the city
of Atlanta who opposes it, except sum
as those and others who have bad feel
ing toward the owners of the property.
I think, Mr. President, that as a mat
ter of financial interest to the State,
this Senate should not hesitate to adopt
the report of the committee.
My attention is called to the objec
tion offered by the gentleman from the
21st, who says there are but two win
dows in it, and it is not well ventilated.
I would say to my friend, who claims
to be from the piney woods and says
it frightens him to talk up here among
the whites; but if he was down there
he would not be afraid to meet any
of them on the question; that I am
satisfied this morning, when fanning
his speech, he was badly frightened
not to see more than two windows in
this room. We see by the seat of the
gentlemen two very large windows,
and on the other side of the Presi
den’s desk two more, and, also, above
are six large windows.
Mr. Griffin, those six windows are
exclusively for the colored people.
Certainly you’ll not find fault of ac
commodations for colored men. You
who have been a leader in granting
them bo many privileges, making them
equal with yourself, will not deprive
them of the air and tight of heaven,
which God has given them.
Mr. President, I have said more per
haps, than was necessary, and as I
have yielded the floor to every gentle
man who desired to speak on the oth
er tide, and having been requested to
do so, I call tiie previous question.
The Capitol Question.
This matter comes np as the special
order of the Senate this morning, and
we hopeit wiß be settled to-day. Some
of the. opponents of tiuameasatre affirm
that the building is notsafe, etc. Those
who saw the foundations and walla of
this building when it was erected know
how absurd all such statements are.—
The certificate of Messrs. Healey, Ber
ry & Cos., J. C. Peck, Corput & Pay,
architects, which were given to the
committee, i assert very plainly that
thorn is no safer or stronger building
in the State. ;11
There are it is true a few small
cracks caused by tho shrinking of
wood partitions. But there is not a
building hi town that has lees in pro-

portion to its size. In regard to the
pri<je of the building, wa are assured
by members of the City Council who
investigated the whole matter, that the
price of the property wifi not yield a
profit to the owner anything like as
much as they bought the property less
than it originally cost. Tho proposi
tion toseUfor SBBO,OOO in bonds, which
are only worth in cash $315,000, de
duct from this the actual oost of the
furniture and fixtures; $76,871 54, and
it leaves the property at $238,188 46.
The original owners spent over SBB,-
000, ana bad only juet started the work,
and Mr. Kimball has expended on the
building over $170,000 cash. So that
the profits will pot exceed $20,000 or
$25,000, not counting anything for itf
tereet or time.
Sorely no say that this is
too milch. The City Council ascer
tained that the above statement was
trod, t^
Mr. Kimball bought the property at
a time when no one else would. He
took a great risk and is snrelv entitled
to the difference in the actual oost of
the property mid the amount be paid
for it Besides, this property lias
largely increased in value and will
continue to do so for many years to
oome.
And the rents from that portion of
the building not used for State purpo
ses, will pay the interest on the bonds
asked'from the State.
Let all parties who are favorable to
the capitol remaining in Atlanta, unite
and settle the dispute.—Constitution,

Thk Rural Carolinian for August.
—The present number of this sterl
ing agricultural monthly contains
two illustrated artides, either one of
which is worth the whole year’s sub
scription. The first to which we allude
is a sketch of the life of the late Wil
liam Gilmore Simms, one of its earliest
and ablest contributors, accompanied
by the truest likeness of that great
Southern author that has yet been
given to the pubtio. Mr. Simms was a
practical planter and devoted to coun
try life, and it is singularly appropriate
that this tribute to his memory should
appear in The Rural Carolinian, whose
Ees, in the last days of his life, he
adorned and enriched with the
ripest fruits of his varied genius.
The second article alluded to is that
on the cotton caterpillar, being an ex
haustive treatise on that subject from
the pen of Dr. Phares, of Woodville,
Miss. The thorough practical as well
scientific knowledge of his subject
evinced by the writer, entitle his opin
ions to the highest respect, anti render
his exposure of popular fallacies, and
his suggestions of the proper way of
dealing with these insects, invaluable
to every cultivator of the great South
ern staple. The article is accompanied
by several wood cuts, and also by a
colored illustration of the caterpillars
at work upon the plant in their various
stages of existence. This illustration
in executed in the highest style of the
chromatic art, and enables the reader
to recognize the insects at a glance, and
thus more fully comprehend the ideas
advanced by the writer.
Beaded these principal articles, there
are the usual number of valuable con
tributions in regard to all the various
branches of agriculture and horticul
ture, well prepared digests of reports
of tiie crops from all parts of the
State, and careful editorial selections
of all the agricultural news of the
day.

1. Notloe to given that the office of the State Agri
cultural Society haa been removed to the moat ample
and suitable halls, with offices attached, in the base
ment of the Capitol, Members of the Society, and
visitors to the city especially, and our citizens gener
ally, are Invited at any and all badness honnfte visit
the library and reading room and museum.
2. The thanks of officers and members of the Soci
ety are due John B. Dukes, Esq., President of toe
Lord^TlngaUby, presents spedmeU es
end teeth found to their phosphate mines—oontahiing
the sections of toe vertoberal of extinct Seurl, which
were over thirty feet in length; the tusks of the 80s
Elephant, (Magalo Saurius;) sharks teeth four times
toe alas of any living variety. Some of these speci
mens are impregnated with iron.
8. Tho following letter la upon a subject of anoh
general Interest as to justify publication. It waa filed
in this offioe by Judge Esssrd:
Lawxkmckyillx, June 29, 1870.
Mon, William Board, Mayor:
Dks» But—-President Orr informed me last week
that ba had a letter from 001. Lewis, Inquiring wheth
er he knew of any considerable quantity of pyrites on
or near the line of any railroad In Georgia. OoL L.
says our manutoetnrers of Fertilisers wish to prepare
their own sulphur if they can procure the pyrites.
Both copper and iron pyrites exist in any desirable
quantities in the gold rains within one and a half
miles of Sugar Hill, and south of that plaoe on the
Air-Line Railroad. I suppose many tons of the finest
variety could be picked up among toe rub blah on toe
top of tho grouud. It forms a large proportion of toe
ground which protects the rains of the gold leaving'
quarts on either aids. If the company, to which 001.
L. 'alludes, will establish a depot at Sugar wn(
they will have no occasion to tend abroad for Sulphur
Ido not know where Col. Lewis is at present, and
therefore communicate this information to you
you may let all parties concerned know the foots.
I am truly yours,
Jas. p. SnatDMs.
4. An appeal Is made to the liberality of the Fnss of
the State to send their papers regularly to this office
regularly without oharge. The object of the request
is manifold. This offloe has and will have thousands
of documents and circulars, etc., to issue. With fresh
Issues dally and weekly of the Press spread oat upon
oar tables, we will have at one view the names of per
haps twenty thousand business men in every depart
ment of industry, to whom we out send onr doom
meats. Again, the Library and Museum attached to
the offloe are dally increasing in interest and impor
tance. The contributions of tho mars of the Sfcte
will greatly add to this Interest and will make the
rooms of the Society a most attractive resort to mem
bers and visitors from a distanoe while in the city—
Assurance la given to all publishers and editors who
will comply with this request, and their <n«««ban nev
er be taken from the Library, and shall, alter having
answered the Immediate wants of the offloe, become
permanent flies and preserved for referenoe and for
historical and statistical inquiries for which they win
be more and more valuable with the tspseof time.
#. Delegates and members, and visitors to the con
veution are urged to consider if they cannot briiw
with them a few preoloua atones oc other valuable con
tributions to the museum. If each detititio should
bring with him the mosOourioas and interesting spec
imens, whether mineral, lossti, earth, plant or other
Object in natural Mtiwy.lt woajd present at once a
