Attorney at law FW NUMBING WORK! ^LEX SARRE, No. 6, Brost! Strtst. Sanitary plumber, M. M. MADDRY'S. THE ST Ax It ii objected to a university foun ded liy the Slate lint such an insti- iut.i,n must if necessity be cun- lined t i one locality, and therefore be pr. (liable unequally to the peo ple who are taxed in general to sup port it; for tile benefits muit be chief! monopolized by those living in the vicini'y. T- this it is ans- we ed: Answer is’. E ery slate institu tion, or permanent structure estab lished for the people, must have perma .ent locality, and consequent ly mii’t of necessity 28' ve conveni ence to some that others do not have A. The school house in the counlry, located in a hundred yards from some children and three or tour miles from others, give* im portune advonlages to the former, and | laces at gieat disadvantage those compelled to walk daily three or f ur miles, sometimes under des cending rains, or facing bleak w ind-, and compelled to cross at times, with danger, swolen cricks or oilitr strea r.s. If ihtre is any force in ti.e locality objection, what an act of lavoritsm is shown to the families in the vicinity, and whai an outrage is perpetrated upon the distant family (hat may he compell ed to go to the expense of horse a ill Vehicle, and in the case of small cliii lien exclusively to the addition- a 1 expense of a more mu'ure at tend nts in order to guard against dang, r* and (accidents. If there is any force in this objection, neigh- hothood school house* should be abolished, and, if the schools arc still to be maintsii ed, portable tent* rlioulc be utilized, so tha' the school mat circulate around, stopping ul the door of each family—as the . Id- me school master used to “boar I around.” B. The State house is located in Atlanta, giving great advantage to the representatives from Fu'ton county, especially to those residing in th> city. They can be with their fami 1 e-; reside at their own homes, and ii cidently give an eve and oc casional a hand to their private bus iness. Shall the people by general taxation be compelled to contribute to the huildipg of a magnificeut copilot that affords such advantages to a very few which it withholds from the representatives of the peo ple living in other and distant re gion? Shame upon such discrim- inltion and favoTiism! * Abolish all state houses and let the people have -self-made” laws also, or else let the representatives of the people irgislate in two gryat tents, that can circulate by rotation through nil the teniio-y, and among all the people of the Slate. c. The Western & Atlantic Rail:nail also built and equipped, and, until it became self supporting sustained by gene al taxation of the people was located in one section alone. Only the people living along ihe line of its extended locali ty coul l avail thermclves of it, in the first instance as passengers or as hippers; and to their doors alone ras it able to deliver freight. The eople of other parts of the State ave to ride vast distances at ex- ense before they can reach the tars bought in part by their own memy, and their freight must tra verse! nmensa reaches of road be fore it i an utilize railroad facilities which uwe their existence in large measuieto taxation unequally ex torted fium them. Can a satisfac tory aii-wer be given to this? Of course, t can be showned that by dcvel ping'a rich, virgin region the VVi .fern and Atlantic Railroad brought property and people into peorgia. who-e contributions ihrougt! taxation and otheywisegqve pfC(iriury resources to thft Sfate (liai sp. j;dily reimbursed (he monpy pxpeiulcd in (he • construction; that it marip possible, anil,stimulated the ponsf uction nf t le system of rail roads now in existence in the Stato which in turn developed other re gions, circulating new and advanc. ed idea in relation to all possible thing* c innectcd with the people's hab.ts, interests and enterprises; stimulu'ing industry and production and d Ifusing prosperity and intelli gence every where, Has the West ern and Atlantic Railroad dong these things, and more to the peo- in the State, and that too, became it wa* lot- ted in Cherokee Georgia? Then it follows that a structure eiccte l by general taxation may be piofi abie to all the people ot the Siate fj‘,m Ihe very fact that it it Iccated in one spot or One region. On the same pririeiple it caij bp that the Ufiiyerslty of Geo(- , gin dl-pcnset benefactions to all i parts cf {lie State from the very fact tha{ it hat definite and perma nent ) cality. Answer ad.

Those at a distant might be placed at great comparative disadvantage, because those in the vicinity might snticipate them in the enrollment and because they might have to wait at great expense the possible tsrdy announcement of thedistrihu- tion. But the University ofiers .nothing but ti.e facilities for hard intellectual work to those who have a thirst for self-development, cul ture and knowledge. And even those must have been already in some measure expert*. By the labor of many years they must have mastered no small degree of funda mental rudimentary learning, that is the indespeusable preparations for admission to the University,and for commencing the hard and file long labor of those who would be educated and learned. By iaboiious efforts height* are to climed and by persistent delving depths of knowl edge are to be penetrated. Every thing ia to be made subordinate and subsidiary to this. Ease, pleasure, society—everything, except neces- sary exercise, is to be made to yield to the exacting demands upon time and attention, 1'arents having desires for their sons’ intellectual culture, may crowd them into the University, but unless the sons share in the desire, their connection with the University will be but brief, and marked while it continues with disappointment to parents and disquietude to Faculties. Both patties, Faculty and student, will draw a long breath of relief when the connection is severed, whether by a voluntary withdrawal or a forced removal, In a'population of a million, one thousand may enter the University of those self-impell- eil or by the investigation and au thority of ambitions Itiends; hut the tests applied would soon divide the number down to a few hundred, especially if faculties would gently hut firmly remove from the number all those who are utilizing the op portunity for other than the legiti mate purpose ot earnest application and study. Year before last Ath ens proper sent ten [io] student* to the University, while Atlanta, one hundred miles distant, matriculated twenty four [34-J The number of 'those in the vicinity ot Athens.who tony for education culture and learning, bears no larger ratio to the aggregate of those of like aspi rations in the State than do the 5 representatives, and the possible senator, living in Atlanta under the shadow of the State house, bear lo the aggregate of legislators the Stale over. If appeals are made to prejudice, or minds are confused, because the lacation of the University has a pe cuniary value to Athens not shared in by other paits of the State, let it he borne in mind that the same is true of the people around the State House, and around all the other public institutions in the common wealth. But let it be specially re membered that the University was located where it is because the air was good and the water good, and because in other respects it was as suitable as any inhabited pi ace could I c, but chiefly because Uov. John MiPedgc gave 630 acres of land located there. Instead ol the University going to the people ot Athen*. the people of Athens came to it, and by coining contributed to its resources by buying and im pn ving its lands contiguous. Anc there is no hesita'ion in saying that by the facilities tlicy render to the University, by thfir hospital ity to (he stqdftnts, and the whole, somp morftl and religious influence by which they surround them, and by the seaial culture imbibed from the elegant society into which the young men are cordially welcomed. Tha people of Athens, to say the least, make at valuable contribution to the University oi Georgia as they receive from that Institotiou. Answea 3d. A true university is a luminary, and illuminates alike every locality. A large city, like London or New York, lighted up at night in house and street by rush light, candle,lamp gas jet and electricity, is in a condi tion to afford its denizens msny utilities. The poor by aid of far thing candle move without difficul ty through their obscure room*; the rich tread with confidence hal^s qnii corridors blazing wifh splendor, and crowds thfpna 'Without danger or jostling, street illumiuated by long lows of gas lights and by meteor electric globes, now sending their horizomal lights glaring in the eyes and, now from elevated positions shedding them dowq with the soft radianeq ot moonbeam*. Multi plied illumiuations in factories,work shop* and stores made the nichin’ ery goods and ware; aland out in con«picuot|i yicw. And the sight it wondrous and benutifulto behold. But aftep a|l,'the illumination is but local, limited and temporary. The light altQ serves as well t° make the darkness visible Night give* a pace, and retires for a little; but it ii never auf of sight, and it stands in com pact array, ready to take advantage 1 barnm again upon the space from which it was relurtently driven. Sihadows !uik in cqrner*, and hide behind wall* that obstruct the light; ob scurlty, brought into holder relief and sharper outline by the blending of the attinctive rays of the Stars as a background, rest* on house-top, battlement and turret on high; and darkness of Egvption depts slum bers all night long in chambers not invaded by the light hearer. Dark ’aies and alleys ai-o furnish luik- ing places for robbers and cut throats, and hiding places for debs of iniquents. While it may be granted that these lights are valuable because they are small, and distributed, and portable, and near at hand, it mutt be admitted that they are defective, because their rays, simgleand com bined, illuminatcbut to small distan ces, and hopelessly suggest the ex istence of valuable and beautiful ob jects that they are powerless to dis clone. But when the nun, the great lumi nary of day, ascends above the ho- rison, darkness disappears, and 'the shadows of the night all flee away, nor stand on the or Jer of their re tiring. Its rays fill the whole con cave of heaven, blotting out the stars, ’ and descending on earth, floods sea and land, and all things on their suiface, with impartial illumi nation. Men go forth with confi dence to their business and pleas ures; and tread paths, however in tricate, unheasitantly, because an af- flurence of light rests on them. And all this, too, because the sun is a great aggregate, possessing in rela tion to the system, it enlightens ans and warms a fixed and definite lo cation. What, though its body is 94,000,000 miles away, its rays, or waves, are everywhere in multitu dinous number and force; and it is effective to serve all worlds because it has adefinite locality, and remains a great aggregate, not divided up, and parcelled out among the worlds it illuminates and warms. The school of huroble name, the Common School, the High School aud the Academy, distributed through town and country, give the light of education in variousdegrees of brightness, and they arc a bles sing to the people wherever they exist. They give rudimentary knowledge in letters, and, in some instances, carry the knowledge to no mean; degree,, acquainting the pupil with much that is useful and disciplinary, qualifying him for the transaction of business, and a grace ful bearing among men in all the relations ol life. They even some times stimulate to a design for knowledge they do not themselves impart, and prompt the youth, dis posed to make of himself “a self made man,” to use the available means for the attainment ot that end. But these schools do not pro fess to furnish u disciplinary course, with the intent to cultivate and develop all faculties uf the mind. It daes not necessarily follow then that | they make their pupils capable of independent thought; and too fro quently they evuip them only so far as to make them the easy victim of the man of prudence and the dema gogue. The true University, on the con trary, makes it possible for its pupili to meddle with all knowledge; and it it suie, if it be successful, to place everywhere educated men—men trained to habit and independent thought, and equipped with know- lege adequate to throw light on all live questions with which the minds of the people are struggling, and competent to guard them to their proper solution. Statesmen, editors, teachers and other professional classes, authors, discoverers of great principals and agencies in nature, which are utilized by invention for thy promutionof useful and orna mental arts-these, and others like them, are they that have “made themselves” by the use of facilities aflorded by umversitiei and colleges; and they are a blessing everywhere. It fs 00 presumption to say that the University of Georgia ii sending, as it has always done, rays ot interlec tusl light that illuminate every region in the extended territory of Georgia. But it is objected again that the State should not by general taxation contribute toa university, because it is an institution chiefly for rich mens’ sons. The satisfactoiy answer to tnis is that on the contrary it is an institution . intended to furnish facilities to those without reference to their condition in life. It{oWi *> tha classes not rich have a large measurable majority over those who are, it follows that the 'former class furnish a larger number who thirst for knowiegr and education than do the latter, and, therefore, it lolbws practically in fact that Uni- pivvrsltles and Colleges are in • preeminent degree the institutions or those with limited means. But this wilf be incidentally illustrated fqrthtf on in the discussion. P. H. Mei.l, Chancellor Un. ol Geo. SWIFT’S specific! R«?.O.T.
