As the time is near at hand when the peop'e will be called on to decide ; the location ot the capital, tmeng oiber questions, and as many are ask ing for light on the subject, we pub lish below, a letter from Judge W. M. Reese, written some time ago. Judge Reese has been a leading member of the state senate for the past seven years, and much of the leg. islation that has placed Georgia in her present ehviable position among southern states, is due to him—his en ergy, his judgment am’ his patriotism. We ask all ourfreaders to study his letter carefully, and can assure them, from personal knowledge of the man, that Judge Reese is about the last man in the state to he governed, in the discussion and determination of such matters by anything else than what he reg.a ds as the best intere t of all t< e peop e of the state. Read the letter, carefully, severs) times, and keep on rending it until the day of the election. We heard a prominent and sensible man say, the other day, tha* it had changed his views on the capical jjue&tion, anu de termined him io vote for Atlanta. Edi'ors Chronicle and Constitutionalist: Having heeu ashed by many persons why I am opposed, under present cir cumstances, to the removal of the cap ital from Atlanta to Milledgeville, I will, with your pei mission through your paper, answer all these inqui ries at once. I am opposed to the removal now on account of the great loss which the state will sustain thereby, one tvkieh tee are poorly able to endure. I do not un* der this head, count the expenses of removal and the expenses of an extra session of the legislsture this winter, tchich must be called to provide for the expense of such removal, amounting to a considerable sum, probably fitly thousand dollars. I shall only •* urn up losses in public property, sufficient ly great in my judgment, to deter pru dent men item v ting for r-m val at this time. The state has paid for the present capitol in Atlanta $2.80,000 n gold b nos, which have all been ml aie now im< ( guzied as valid, and the city of Atlanta has paid for the same capitol $179,000, making the cost to the slate and city of Atlanta $429,000. This amount paid by the ciiy of Atlanta was paid os xn: cjm diti n that Atlanta should r* main the capital, and will have to be refunded as soon as it is removed. It will not do to say that Atlanta has acted in t ad faith about the and therefore we wil' not regatd her claim to indem nity full and complete. The late con vention, by a committee of some of its very best men, reported to the con tention, to which report no objection was offered, after full research into ail the facts that Atlanta had acted in the utmost good faith and paid ev°ry dollar that she agreed to pay, that the city an 101 ities, besides closing this, had paid off a mortgage judgment ol $79,000, which was a valid lien on the capitol building.'’ The claim of Atlanta for compensation will be made and can not be resitted, and by removal we at once lose *179,000. This sum is now as much as the capitol will firing if sold, and the loss, if made, carries with it as a matter of course the loss of the $250,000 paid by the state. This, however, is not the only loss from removal, as the executive mansion, cos’ing the state SIOO,OOO in gold bonds, now a part Ot the public del t, must also ! e f anil Will not bring more than $50,000, so tha there is another loss of $50,000 to be edited to the oiliei losses, making up a sum total of $479,000. Another loss consequent upon a re moval is the loss of a splendid offer ot the city of Atlanta :o subscribe toward the building of a now capi’nl, the very choicest bui ding lot and the whole city, and also u mm of money sujictent to build a capitol as good as the one at Milledyc* ciUe, which will he at he Incest calculation 65.000. This proposition of the cry of Atlnn *b, which lms not been equalled and eannot be equalled hy that of ary otb er city or town in the state, it is said is an electioneeiing trick, a fraud and not intended to be executed, etc., that it cannot be carried out according to the new constitution, etc. To which objection I reply that as Atlanta has hi*hr to acted in the bettfaHh, not on ly with the itaie bw with her creditor* , it •s unjust and wrong to make such ac otiaations. She has not flinched or refused to meet her promisee or debts. In th3 lexicon of the people of Atlan ta there is no such words as 'fail.” — The constitution of 1877, if adopted, provides in itsef for the acceptance and tx. eeution of this offer of the city of Atlanta, so there is no difficulty from w#nt of power to carry out her promise by the city of Atlanta. There is one other view on this of fer of the city of Atlanta which I deem perfectly conclusive, and that is we have the means iu our own power of forcing Atlanta to comply with her offer by amending at any time th> constitution so as to remove the capita , and not ing w. uld be eas< ir to do or more certain to be d<*ue should Atlan ta act in bad faith. Add the loss of not accenting this offer to the other losses not above enumerated and we bavs losses by removal $779,000, nearly one million of dollars. W hat is the loss by remaining in Atlanta? The capitol and mansion in Milledgeville are estimated by good judges as worh $85,000, which is all we would lose by not removing to Milledgeville. If, however, it is nee 1 essary to remove from Atlanta to se cure honest legislation, I, for one, say let uh make any and all sacrifices. Is it necessary, and will such legislation be secured by a removal to Milledge ville? What says the history of the past on this subject? This history says that three millions and a half of dollars of tbe piesent public debt aris ing from state aid te worthless rail roads was created in Milledgeville, while the portion of said debt incur red, for the same purpose iu Atlanta doos not am unt to three hundrds thousand dollars. This history say furthtr that through the old Central bank by the worst and most corrupt legislation at Milledgeville one half million of dollars of public money was wasted on partisans and favorites. , fh>- history says further in Milledgeville in 1866 was set the precedent of paying members of tfie legislature rune dol lars per diem and their clerks anti their doorkeepers and messengers nine dollars per diem. To show how little place has to do witli the puiity of leg islation I refer to the tact that the democratic legislature whici sat in Atlanta exposed the Bullock fr uds, repudiated his dishoues: udministia tion, his state aid schemers, ana de nounced the traudulent bonds; that the dome-tic legislature of 1875 and 1876, which was held in Atlanta, pro posed the amendment to tha constitu tion repudiating the bogus bonds; that the legislature of 1877, which sat in Atlanta, called the consiimtional con. vention; that the c invention of 1877 was held in Atlanta ; wherefore I think it may be safely cou luded that ihs p’ace of holding the legislature has lit tle or nothing to do with the proceed- 1 mgs of the genera! assembly. The purity and honesty of legis’ation de pends on the constitution of the and tbe men sent to the legislature. Some persons may argue, no matter what it costs, let us re uke the fraud of temoVal from Mille Eeville to At lanta. To this argument I siy, that fraud has fully rebuked by the action of the convention in submitting the lo cating of the capital to the peoph Its location now, under this action, de- pends on the reasons lor and against removal lo be considered and acted ou bv a free people. If Atlanta is retain ed as the c.pital the fraud will be re moved and the UcatloS will be fixed by the votes of the people. Again, ou this ban ; I would say that when the constitution of 1868 fixing Atlanta as the capital was submitted to the voters of the state, the u terrified peo ple of Atlan'a, surrounded with sol diers, and living under the hardest and severest military control, Vo.ed against removal to Atlanta In view of theee tacts, what good man ir. the state will say that the people of Allan . .... ! a#,,, )..,■> 1 rid nQtr a Acrn. ta a>e ptomise-breakers, and havs con cocted a great fraud to deceive the people ol Georgia? It is rot necessary to it cur the losses above stated, be cause Atlanta is not accessible to the people of the state, for she is accessi ble to more people of the s’ate than any other city or town in it. If is not necessary to make the losses above enumerated hecause living is so expen sive in Atlanta, as no cify or town in the state can i fiord to provide and does provide lor legislators and visit ors so cheaply and substantially as |At anta. Il we throw out of the ca'- | cula’iou the $250,000 paid by the ’ state on th capital, and the $50,000 paid for the executive mansion, over and above its value, on the oround, that the loss uou ! d be estimated only on the present value of the property, not "ounting as Worth anythi' g the prospect of a gieat increase in the val* ue ol the public prop< rtyoin Atlanta from the| growth of that wonderfulcity, then the loss by the removal of the capital from A lanta to Milledgeville would fie fully $450,000. What then is tbe wisest solution of the capital question? la my opinion it i to re tain tie capital a Atlanta, accept the offer of the c : ty, requite Atlanta to make a deed to the city hall square, deposit in the* state trea ury the amout promised by'her, and then with this money and the proceeds <>f the sale of the capitol building in Atlanta build a convenient and comfortable state-house. This sum of money wil! be ainp e for the pnrpase, and we will have disposed fof tbe whole matter without costiogjthe 6tate anything Very respectfully, W. M. Reuse. Washington, Ga., October 27. A Lome Widow’s Device. —An amusing story?comes from the Arden nes, where, according to the tale, an agriculturist recently died, leaving a wife, a horse, arid a dog. A few mo ments before his death hejjcalled his wife to him, and bade her sell the horse, and give the proceeds of the sa eto liis relatives, sell ttie dog and kt-p the money thus gained ILr herself. Soon after his death, the wife went to ti e market with the horse an! dog, and exhibited’them, with'the annouce ment that the price of the dog was five hundred francs, and that of the horse five ftanos. The passers-by s’op ped and stored, and judged *he wo man mad, inure especially as the in formed all would-be purcheseis that to bt.y the horse it was necessary to buy the dog first. At last a curious passer-by concluded the bargain ; after which the skillful woman handed over five, trances to the family of her de cea-ed husband, ani retained five hundred bancs for i.erself, thus con triving at the same time to carry out thi letter, if not the spirit, of the wishes of her husband, and to secure the largest sum of money for heiselt. The Gwinnett Herald says; ‘‘There occured last week ia the western part of tin's county one of .the saddest ncci ents we have ever been called upon to chronicle. Living in Suwannee district is a family by the name of Mitchell, who have recently movel into the county. On last Wednesday two of the children, a boy,' ten or twolv-* years old and his si-tier two or three years'youngerjwere picking cot ton in a field a short distance from the huUse. A short time before night, for some came, the little girl threw 8 8 one and hit her brother on the head. He shortly afterwards left the cotton patch, saying he was going to the house. After awhile the girl also went home, and, not finding her brother, she informed the family ot what heo necu red. Search being made, tbct boy Was found in a dying condition and expired in about five minutes af ter being discoveud It is thought that it W is hardly probaMe tnat death was the result of the' blow, but it seems to have been the only known cause, as no post mortem examination was made.” The United Siates Senate Since 8171 the jLpu'-licsns have Ic-t six teen Senators and gained one-not co side i- g the seats now in dispute.

We tak> the following extracts from the Atlan a Constitution, which, will be of iuterorf o the general reader touching the statistics ot the state: The area of Georgia is 58,000 square miles. The population is ex ceedingly sparse, being only 22 to the square mile. The popula’ion of Georgia is 1,250,- 000. Of these, 00 per cent, are wh'tes and 40 per cent negroes. The popu lation is mostly native, only about 12,000 being foreign born. The wo men are in excess of the men by about 2 i per cent Of this population, six per cent, are Ungaged in manu facturing, fc -,r p*f. ednt. in trade and commerce, fifteen per cent, in pro fessional or personal service, Bnd sev en'y-five per cent in agriculture. The average of persons to the family is five, and there is a dwelling for every five persons. The agricuitural population of Georgia is 900,000 souls, and the number of acres in cultivation is a trifle over 600,000, In 1860 Georgia was a Very rich State. It was the sixth in tho Ameri can union in point of wealth. It av eraged $l,lOO to each white inhabi tant, the total being $645,000,000. — At the close of the war her total wealth three years afterwards, this had in creased to $268,000,000. The debt of Georgia is lower than that of any Southern State, population and extent considered. The State owns property that wou'd pay her debt if it we.e sold. The tax is the lowest of any Southern State if not of any State iu the union, being only 5 mills. In 1875 there were 169,910 children at school. Of these, 114,000 were while and 2,000 colored. The Baptist church in Georgia has 193,000 members, nearly one to every six persons iu the State. Of these, 81,000 are negroes. There are 114 associations. The Methodist chu r, ‘b, South, have, 95 000, of which 13,000 are negroes belonging to the colored Methodist church, an independent organization has over I,6oopieachers The Preshyteiians haYe in Georgia 149 Churches, 55,000 sittings, 9,400 members and property worth $652,- 460. The Episcopal church has 29 churches, 11.000 sittings, 4,500 com municants and 39,clergymen. The Catholio church has over 30,- 000 members, 25 churches, 35 chap els, 24 priests. There are iu Georgia 2,620 Israe lites.

The poorest girls in the world ars those who havefnever 1 den taught to work. are thousands of them. Rich parents have petted them; they have been taught to despise labor and depend upon others for a liting, and are perfectly helpless. If misfortune comes up'<n their friends, as it often does, their case is hopeless. Tba most forlorn and miserable women upon earth belong to this class. It belongs to parents to protect their laughters from this deplorable condi tion. They do them a gieat wrong if they neglect it. tlVer y daughter should be taught to earn hef own liv ing The rich as well as the poor re quire this training. The wheel of For tune rolls swiftly refund; the rich are very likely to become poor and the poor rich. Skill to labor is no disad vantage to the rich and is indispensa ble to the poor. Well-to-lo parents must educate tbeir children to work. No reform is more imperative than this.— Ex. Mr, A. H.
