GEORGIA WEEKLY OPINION
THE WEEKLY OPINION,
BT W. I. 8CEUQG8 AND J. B. BUMBLE.
•** THURSDAY MORNING i 111; i i NOV. If.
Tiik Cjty,—A more quiet and orderly
city than Atlanta la not to be found any-
where. Her lDt of police arreata are ao
email that they are unworthy of record. It
la very aeldom that aflneliaa to bo Indicted
upon any one fbr vlolatlona of city ordl-
nancea. It la doubtleaa true that ahe haa
aa many bar-rooms, billiard saloons, and
other place* of a almllar character, aa any
city of her alee, but tlita doea not ecem to
lead those who frequent them Intodeeda of
outlawry. Taking It a* o w hole, Atlanta
la a model city.
Fulton Superior Court la still In session.
As yot no case of special Importance liu*
been tried.
Tho Round House of. tho Georgia Ball-
road la rapidly approaching completion.—
It Is the largest and moat substantial build
ing of tho sort In this section of the State.
Fresh country butler sold yesterday from
wagons at tweuty-8ve cents a pound.
S" eet potatoes were selling on theatreets
yesterday from wagons at forty to llfty
cents per bushel*
The approach of the holidays will he cer
tain to set those who design making snb-
| stautlal presents on the lookout. If their
wits are sharp they will list overlook the

Snrrr's Muxtiily Msciazink.—Judging
from the very, fortunate arrangement
which Doctor Scott has made, having asso
ciated with him the Honorable Daniel
Pittman in Its publication, we predict for
his valuable magazine a career of useful
ness and piosperlty. The October and No-
vomlier numbers will bo Issued Immediate
ly. and the December number 111 the early
part of the month. Having also .combined
with the magazine tho Ladles* Home Ga
zette, the patrons of both euterprlz.es will
he furnished w ith “Scutt't Monthly Maga
zine,” which promises not only to siistsili
its already well earned reputation, hut
will become more attractive and Interest
ing If pos Iblc in the future. Mr. Pittman
Isa young man of sound reading, profound
judgment and large experience, and being
thoroughly posted In tho practical details
of the publishing business, lie will prove
an Invaluable adjunct in the prosecution
of such an enterprise.
ltn.MK.MnFH Till! Pook.—Time 111 Its un
wearied flight siieeds hurriedly along and
Is rapidly gathering the Autumnal season
of eighteen hundred and sixty-seven Into
the Infinitude of the past and ushering In

that we imagine that our lot In this world
Is indeed a hard one. and that we are illy
prepared for its reception. How many
tlicru be who, surrounded not only with
the comforts, hut reveling In the luxuries
of life, are disposed to murmur over their
condition, forgetting the thousands of hu
man beings around them who, tvlih hag.
gard face and tattered garments, hut “live
as they lisp,” are eking out a miserable ex
istence III some uncouth hovel which only
• irves to designate their place of abode
rather than ns a shield to tlielr hotly from
the piercing Windsor Winter, who would
be thankful even lor the crumbs which are
thrown from the table of tlielr more fortu
nate neighbor. When fortune smiles upon
us and we urc In poascsalon of and sur
rounded with the good things of this lifts,
we should not fall to remember llie poor.—
It la ail Injunction of Divine origin, and
•those who reftise to heed It, do H at tlielr
<iwn peril. However much we may Ignore
tho principle taught In that maxim
-which says, "he that gtveth to the poor
leniloth to the Lord," It Is. ueverthleas, a
1 struth which la Incontrovertible.
It Is true that Onr city has her full share
of |Kwr people—anil It Is also tree that
many of our citizens are In struiteued
■circumstances, but knowing the generos
ity of our people we do not hesitate to re.
mind them of tlielr duty. The Winter ap
proaches mid the thousands of destitute
women and children In our city must be
provided for. to some extent. last us not
-cast them off In contempt, but treat them
kindly, nhd aid them to the extent of onr
ability. Many of them are the whlows and
orphans of those who olfered up their lives
ns a libation upon the altar of their coun
try In defence of the "lost Cause,” The
strong arm and brave heart which once
shielded them from penury and want now
. sleeps that long and dreary sleep—Is num
bered among the pale nations under the
ground? and It now becomes a positive
\ duty that wc look after tlielr welfare, and
extend to thorn whatever assistance tho
nature of our circumstances will admit of.
Qf*Thc Republicans claim to have 5,000
majority In Wisconsin, and about 0,000 In
Minnesota. They also claim that tho ne
gro suffrage proposition waa carried In tho
latter .Stato by about ZfiOO majority.
Continue Youir Organizations,
In tlielr bitterness of.gplrlt, our dis
union cotemporarloe are liberal In an
nouncing their programme to defeat Re
construction. Disappointment prompts
the utterances they are glvlug out—not the
wisdom of the itatesman.
It la to be hoped tbe friends of Recon
struction will prepare to meet the power
ful organization wh'ch contemplates en
tering tbe field against them. If tbe
Union men of Georgia fall In the next
contest It will be tlielr own fault—they
will bo forever recorded In history as
having proven recreant to principle and
duty 1
Abuse of men—whether military or civil
officials—wo can afford to disregard. In
deed. It would he charitable to complacent
ly view such ebiiliilioHS. It no doubt does
our opponents a powerful sight of good,
while it works no harm. Blit wc must be
stent in the perforniauce of duty, In order
to prevent the schemes of the opposition
from being successful, when the final
struggle comes, on. Sneers new should
only lie met with efforts to organize the
Union Hosts—abuse how by labor becomes
a triumph hereafter. We repeat our warn
ing. Forewarned we should be fore
armed '.
Tine Ststb Lunatic Asylum.—Dr.
Thomas F. Green. Superintendent of the
State Lunatic Asylum, was In tlie olty yes
terday, on business connected with Ills
charge. After over twenty t ears expe
rience In this Institution, the Dr. Informs
us that Ids "family” Is largor now than at
any former period—tho patients at present
iiuuilierliig over three hundred and seven
ty. Thirty-nine are colored, and tho build
ings prepared for this class of patient* will
only allow the admission of live more.
The buildings allotted to the white patients
are filled to overdowhig. When wo reflect 1
upon tho inadequacy of the Asylum build
ings, It must he admitted that the Superin
tendent tins a troublesome charge, ami that
the admirable manner In which he Is man
aging. reflects great credit upon him and
Ids assistants. Dr. U. will return to Ids
charge to-day.

We laaru tint Gen. Fopo has directed
Treasurer Jones to disburse from tho State
Treasury, during the ensiling year, tu the
several benevolent institutions of the
State, amounts equal to the appropriations
made last year by the legislature. This will
enable the unfortunates to be provided for.
The taxes now being collected, with other
Incomes of the State, w ill supply the moans
There Is, therefore, no necessity of the
government wheels stopping for want of
pecuniary “gravel”
Spunky.—The Nashville Uulon publishes
a statement to tho effect that Monroe coun
ty, Kentucky. Is to vote again on the ques
tion of subscribing $100,000 to the Chesa
peake anil Ohio railroad. Tho former vote
only lacked two votes of being a three-
fifth vote. Mr. Oliver Bcirne, a wealthy
gentlemen of Monroe cocnty. Is said to
have assured the agents of the road that
the road should not stop even if his coun
ty did not subscribe tho 8300,000 requires!

1ST A London letter, dated October *30.
vs: -Americans who have given the
summer to ttie Continent are on the wing
for home, and sotneof them give a few days
In passing to London. General McClellan
was here last week, but Is not going home,
though some of Ids family ure. General
Garfield Is here. Edna Dean Procter left
this week for a tour through England, af
ter a Journey ofa year and u half where few
Americans have penutrnted, through South
eastern Russia, far off the lino of any
tourist route. Some of the American
Bishops arc still here. I saw this morning
Bishop Lee, of Iowa, whom the Times
treats with the Impertinence It Is wont to
display equally to English Bishops mid to
Americans.”
BY* An agent of the Danish Government
has arrived In Washington to negotiate a
sale of the West India Island of St.
Thomas, to the United States. Mr. Seward,
It Is reported, has offered seven millions
for the Island, hut the Dsncs ask double
Mint sum. Noticing this fact the Commer
cial saya: “Considering that about every
thing in tho shape of buildings It period
ically swept from tbe island by hurricanes,
most people will be Inclined to think the
Secretary’s offer la quite liberal.”
TThe special Washington correspond
ent of the Cincinnati Commercial, writing
on tbe lOte, says: The President will, III a
few days, appoint a Secretary of War to
succeed Mr. Stanton, treating the Tenure-
of-office Act, In the casa of the member of
tbe Cabinet not appointed by himself, as
Inoperative. Tho name of tho new Secre
tary Is not yet made known, but It fa be
lieved It will bo a “conservative Republi
can."
QT* ft Is stated that In a reccct conver
sation President Johnson said ho regarded
tho financial question as the most Impor
tant now before the country. He has no
sympstliy with tho views recently set forth
hr either Butler or Pendleton, on tho sub
ject, but agrees with the opinions of Scene
tary McCulloch, and believes In n contrac
tion of tho currency, and a speedy return
to specie payments.
CWTho National Cemetery on Stone
Rtvcr battlo ground has thus for, bad four
thousand seven hundred end forty-live
bodies re-burled In its beautiful grounds.
Tbe interments will bo completed by
Christmas, and will number six thousand
ouo hundred and fifteen.
Washington Items,
Dispatches of the 11th announced that
the President fats finally mads up bis mind
not to send the annual message to Congress
until the first Monday in December. Aside
from other reasons, It appears that several
of the departmental reports wUl not be
ready In time for the November session.
Several gentlemen who had Interviews
with Mr. Johnson on the lOtb, mentioned
to him tho report that Collector Bmythe
had been tenedeed a position In the Cabinet,
whereupon the^’resldent said that tbere
was not ono word of truth in It.
The pressure for office Is Just now beat
Illustrated by the fact that there are nearly
twenty candidates for tlie vacant collector-
ship at Brownsville, Texas.
Secretary McCulloch has declared his In
tention of recommending radlcnl modifica
tions of certain portions of tho Internal
revenue system, especially thoao relating
to the tax on distilled spirits and tho bon
ded warehouses.
Tiik Pkadoity School I ionatjon—Dr.
too*.—Tho Bov. Dr. Scars, Gcnral Agent
of the Trustees of the l’ealioily School
Donation to the Southern and Southwes
tern States, arrived 111 the city on Sunday
last, and we are Informed will remain
during tho week. Ho purposes to attend
the meeting of tho State Teachers’ Associ
ation, to lie held In this city to-morrow,
and. by Invitation, is oxpectcd to address
that body on the general subjects which
will engage its attention.
Ur. Sears Is originally from Rhode Is-
Innil. hilt rnnro recently from Virginia.
He Is one of the most cminet educators In
too nation, and Ills selection as actuary by
the Imnrd of distinguished men to whom
Mr. Peabody confided the disbursement of
hU munificent gift. Is high testimony to
his fitness for tho Important t rust. At a
meeting of the City Board of Education
yestcnfiiv, lie was Invited during his stay
to visit tlie public schools, and we hope that
lie will generally receive the marked at
tention which he deserves, from nil who
have educational matters in charge. The
terms of the bequest are liberal and com
prehensive. and it Is not Improbable, It a
proper impressions can bo made on Dr.
Bears In regard to our condition, that wc
shall reap a portion of Its benefits.
We clip tho above from tlie Nashville
Union, of the 12th. Wo presume Dr. 8.
will extend his love of observation, and
make the Gate City one of tho prominent
points. Tho friends of education should
be on the alert.
tST The Macon Telegraph of yesterday
morning advocates the assembling of a
Convention to mnke preparations to defeat
the Constitution that may tie framed. It Is
taken for granted “that nothing will be
presented that wc can ratify with honor
and safety to tho State;” therefore, says
the Tclcgrph, "we should defeat the Con
stitution to lie formed by the approaching
Convention, if possible,” So far as our co-
temporary la concerned, then, bis mind is
made up. What if he should be wrong in
his preconceived prejudices? Wo suggest
ho wait awhile, as be has already waited
so long. lie might find It prudent to do so.
tlT'Beferrlng to tho dispatch sent abroad
from Montgomery, on Saturday last, to tho
effect that tlie State Convention now In
session contemplated a repudiation of the
Indebtedness of the State of Alabama, the
Sentinel says:
This assertion is a most base one. Wo
can speak advisedly w hen we say, that the
Convention will not only endorse, but will
devise means to meet promptly overy
species of Indebtedness of Alabama, exist
ing on the 10th day of January, 1807, as
W i ll ns the Interest accruing thereon.
Financial.—^The Secretary of the Treas-
has 830,000.000 In 10-40 bonds yet in Ills
hands. Halms written a letter to Now
York, stating. In reply to Inquiries, that it
Is not his Intention to put thens nil on the
market at pre-cut. There linvo been a few
sales of them made lately, :i limited de
mand having sprung up.
CV'Tlic State Teachers Association of
Tennessee met at Nashvlllo yesterday. Tb"
Govcanor of the State. In a publication,
directed State Uocclvera on tho various
railroads to transport delegates to and
fro free of charge; and requested the offi
cers of railroads under company manage
ment to do Ukewlse.
ty Gen. Grant haa ordored more troops
to Washington. Three companies of tho
Twentr-nlnth United States Infantry ar
rived from Lynchburg on tho 10th. These
troops wUl enter upon garrison duty, and
and will be reinforced In a few days by
tiro other companies of tho same regiment.
Macoh Cotton Mabkkt.—Tho Telegraph
of yesterday reports good figures, which, It
states, Includes government tax, aa fol
low! :
The Inquiry Tuesday was not so brisk aa
n Monday, owing to tho unfovorablo tenor
of New York and Liverpool dispatches,
and sales of tbe better qualities were more
difficult to effect at 10c. Holders, howover,
refused to submit to a decline on middlings,
and our market closed at that figure. The
lower grades were more difficult of sale,
and could only bo disposed of at a dccllno
of J*c. on previous quotations.
__r We Infer, from a letter to tho Atlanta
Opinion that contains nothing on tho sub-
Jeot, that Col. Charles It. Hopkins, now of
Savannah, la anxious to bo President of tho
Piebald Convention. It is generally under
stood In tho up-country that tho delegates
will try to glvo some respectability to tho
body byeicctlug Judge Irwin, of Cobb.—
ilacon THtgraph.
Either of the gentlemen named would
“fill tho blU.”
The Western Press.
Prom tbs Missouri BomocrstJ
The meeting of tho Western Associated
Press was pleasant and harmonious. Its
members gained n much bettor undemand
ing of thcTr Interests than somo had before
possessed, and, by the pertonaUntercourea
and acquaintance, became, we trust, more
disposed to act together in aid of those
great enterprises and movements which
are demanded for the welfare and prosper-
lty of tbe G rest West. We hope, also, that
members from otter cities found tlielr visit
In this city so for agreeable that they .may
not be Inalapoaed to return; and If, at any
time, they should weary of the thronged
noisy streets of those great cities, Chicago
and Cincinnati, and should long for a few
hours of resptto they will come to St.
Louis.
Tlie Westorn press ought to work to
gether. We have had a Southern policy
and ar. Earnest policy. Each, perhaps, has
answered in times gone by. It Is about
time to have a Western policy. It taabout
tlmo to begin to work together for all en
terprlses that will incrcaso tho wealth,
hasten the prosperity, and develop the re
sources of the West, attract population
hither, diversify our Industry, ami enlight
en, educate and guide tho pcoplu of the
heart of the continent. It Is time to forget
local jealousies in hearty efl'ort for the
common advantage. It is tlmo to realize
that every movement that helps any part
of this great valley helps every part. The
press, If united, can already wclld a vast
power, and the time Is not far dlstantwhcn,
within the area represented In the associa
tion, a busy, industrious, intelligent popu
lation of sixty millions will hold absolute
power In the Republic.
Tho Republican, wo observe, expressed
Its surprise and gratification at finding
among tho representatives of journals
politically hostile gentlemen of courteous
bearing, genial disposition, and broad and
liberal views. We trust that something of
the same impression may have been pro
duced In other cases, ami that mutual in
tercourse and Interchange of thought may
remove some of tho asperities of newspa
per controversy. When wo meet, face to
face, wo find it perfectly practicable to
differ In opinion without ealllngcach other
hard names or ascribing to each other un
worthy motives. Why insy not discus
sions in the press be conducted with some
thing of the same good temper and charity ?
Above all, shall we at the West not learn
what our coteinporaries nt tho East seem
not to have discovered, that the true news
paper Is impersonal—impersonal in its
management, impersonal In its objects, ab
solutely freo from personality In Ita dis
cussions? Shull we not bear In mind that
there are battles In which tho victors are
always tho vanquished; laurels which no
honorable newspaper can afford to win ?
Already there has grown np nt tho West a
powerful, fearless, and Independent Journ
alism, outstripping oven the metropolitan
press In energy In the collection ot news,
and comparatively freo from that perpetu
al washing of unclean linen In public
places which makes the disputes of T. W.
and H. G. and the rest so tedious. Shall
wo not persevere In improvement#, and
show tho country what It has not yet seen,
a model journalism.
Salk ok tiik Stkvbkxvillk Railroad—*
An Excitin'! Time— Vie Line Purchantl for
foe Pennsylvania Central Jtaiheay Company.
Tho sale of that portion of tho Pittsburg
and Steubenville RallroadJyingnvithln tho
State of 1'cnusylranlu, took pluco at the
Court-house yesterday, and attracted con
siderable Interest. A few days since wc
gUYC tbo particulars of tho circumstances
under which the road was ordered to bo
sold, and the object sought to bo attained
by those pressing tho sale, so that It is un
necessary to do more now than relato what
transpired yesterdny when tho work camo
under tho hammer of the auctioneer for
disposal. Our good-humored and energetic
friend, Captain Harry Smithson, officiated
on the occasion, and. after stating the terms
of the sale, Ac- started business with a bid
of $'20,000. from which tho price advanced
phlly to $300,000, in bids of 81,000 each.
There were now a few scattering bids,
lich brought the price up to $o00,000,
icn Mr. W. 1!. Ellis, of New York, star
tled the audience by offering 81,000,000.
-Mr. Ellis represented a number of parties,
whose claims would have been completely*
wiped out had the Pennsylvania Railroad
been able to avrange matters so that it
could get the road at its own figure, ami
his hid. showing that he meant mischlci;
caused quite a hurry of excitement among
tho representatives of tho •• big” corpora
tion, who were present in force, awaiting
tho result.
After a little consultation, Mr. Howard,
Solicitor for tho Pennsylvania Central, put
on another 830.000, but was soon over-
top|>ed by Mr. Ellis, who bid 810,000 more,
From this it crept gradually up to $1,600,-
000. TheirMr. Ellis relieved the monotony
somewhat by putting it up to $1,630,000.
Tho excitement now ran quite high, and
thoso who expected that the Pennsylvania
Railroad would get the work for a "mere
song ” began to look anything but comfort
able. Rids of 810.000 each now followed
each other In rapid succession, until 81,000,-
000 was retched, with Mr. Ellis still ahead.
