lit f.fir list is>un w pub:i>ueil a
pu.Hgiaph stating, in siiUtanet*, that
the ol many ; u tii* .-ecll<.:i, *>n
the capital n, wnuM deptn-l
iipmi what Atlanta |.r<>j:i>d to do in
tim matter, i. e., whether she vvo ikl
hui il a state liuti'e < r not. Tlte Ma
oi.ii Telegraph &■ ALg'dijtr, cn[ii“d the
paragraph, and, uuctur the caption,
‘ Strong igtwoarme C mine ted on it
to tlie edict that 9 did not know that
there was any ono in the state so igno
rant as not to know that At’aiita s
p'ojiosition to bui'd a capitid w.is
made to the* convention, and comli oil
ed on the fact tiiat Atlanta rholi'd
be named in the conrtltu ion as the
capital ot the state, mi l was not now
of loice because Allan.a was no.
eonamed.
We simply desite, now, to inform
the said Telegraph X J 1 leagir, if its
“ignoicnce” sso “siiong that it does
l ot know the tact, that the efeetiou is
vet nice than two months off, and,
although “Rome was not built in a
day,” many, in.pofant events have
bn coneeived and executed within a
less period of time than two mouths.
We ate not the mouthpiece of At
lanta, and do not know w hut she pro
poses, pin) net s or intends proposing to
d> in the matter, and, we repeat, .lint
the votes of many in this sec ion wifi
depend, njion what Atiun.a proposes to
tin. If she should pledge, hei&elf in
a proper and iili-faei"ty wy, to build
a capitol for the rtute, or, in othsr
wolds, should she make the same
pioposUioD, or a similar one, di.eot to
the people, that she made to them “in
convention assembled.” many who
prefer that the capttol should Le at
that ci.y ia.her than at' Miliedgevi'de,
but do not, wish to involve tho state
in any expense in the matter, will
vote “Atlan'a,” who, otherwise will
vote “MiKedgevillo.”
ft -.a* to bii> g this fact to the no
tice of those more material y interest
id in the location of the capital than
we are, that the paragraph in ques
tion was written. It was luily ur.dei
g'vood by those for whom it was special
ly intended, as evinced by its pul -
lication in the Counti id on and the
cnnuneDiS ot that pajier upon ii,
though credited to another source
Io this conuec iott, we might say,
that the idea, entertained by some,
that it will cost tuoie to keep the Capi
tol nt Atlanta than t * move it b. ck t,
Milledgeviile, is, in our opinion, a mis
taken one. Thu statu has buildings
st each ph ce. Those at Atlanta, | et
liaps, much bbtter than those i t Miil
•dgeville. The state house at Atlanta
could piobabiy be sold for much more
than the cn nt Milled'eviile, but a
mortgage on tho fottner, hold by the
city of Atlanta, thet will never be
foreclosed while ii remain* the capilol,
would shout absorb the budding at a
foicud sale. Wi'hout any action what
ever on the part of Atlanta-, the argu
ment of economy is still oti tiie side of
that city, as removal involves tho ex
pinte of t-ansportation, and several
thousand dollnis far indispensable te*
I'fiirs cm the old house at Milledgeville.
Tbo statement, often rtphnted ly the
Tthgtaph X Mettergtr, that it will cost
the etute five or six millions, addition
al, to keep the capi a! at Atlanta is
“mnon-shino” of the thinest quality
nnd most silvery hue. We know of
no one whose ‘"ignorance ’ is so
“strong - ' as to he tor a moment uii-led
by it. We know that whenever the
Mato cltooses to build a capitol such
ns she ought to have, one suited to
her rank and dijni'y, it will cost
money, whether located at Atian'a,
Milledgeville, I’ossumtrot or Lickskil
let. The sentiment of the people is
not in tavor of incurring this expense,
at present. So far as we are concern
ed, we would prefer a proposition
from Atlanta, if she has any to make
in this connection, in some other
sh< pe than one to donate a building
as “good as the one at Mil edgeviila.'
We would prefer to continue to i.se
the one occupied at present, until abb
to build a much hotter oue than that
at Milledgovil e.

prompt and efficient labors, and Wil

his work Although Judge Wright
kept the young gentleman very actively
engaged, yet he found time tw spark
the girls, and appeared to enjoy it
hugely. Judging from the faraway
longing look acd frequent aighs of a
certain “fair one,” his presence was
very agreeable and acceptab e, and
iris departure seriously regreted. VY il-
Iremay always be sure of most cordial

hope he may soon roam this way
