Editorial Mang’r. Entered at Atlanta P. O. as second-class matter. Col. Tyler M. Peeples throws his pa per, the Gwinnett Herald, for Bacon. Tiie Monroe Advertiser deprecates mud clinging in the gubernatorial contest. We endorse the suggestion. The 'Capitol is in favor of the majority rule in the State Convention no matter who is hurt by it. It is the true Demo cratic rule. It is now stated that Miss Folsom, the young lady to whom the President is re ported as engaged to be married, is much mortified at the gossip, and denies that the report is true. Mr. Clements, the Congressman from the 7th District, is now in Georgia. He has issued a sensible, good-tempered ad dress to the voters of his District announc ing his candidacy for renomination. He ought to be renominated. The people of Eatonton and Putnam county held a meeting on the 26th and declared that the Macon Telegraph had in its account of the Gordon-Bacon con troversy misrepresented the meeting in saying there was a near approach to bloodshed. Senator Kenma has declined the chair manship of the Congressional Campaign Democratic Committee. His ostensible reason is that his law paactice will not permit. We do not care to go behind his avowed reason to hunt up some hidden political motive that if true, means injury to the democracy. We prefer to take him at his word. Surely the papers that continue to howl about the Atlanta ring do not reflect upon their gross inconsistency in charging “ring,” when the alleged ring seeks the amplest expression of public sentiment. This stereotyped cry of “ring” loses its significance in the fact that the so-called ring urges the only method of getting the popular will, while its accusers oppose it. The contest for Congress between Mr. McArthur and Mr. Crisp, the present Congressman, is getting to be warm enough. McArthur has the Americus Re publican in Mr. Crisp’s own town. It is specifically charged that Mr. Crisp aligned himself with the Loyal League in 1868, and in consequence was defeated for ordinary in Schley county in that year. This charge will show the bitter ten dency of the contest. THE OHAIKiE OF CAKiE. A great movement in the railroads is at hand. This is the change of guage of 13,000 miles of track. The change is only an inch or two, but it involves an enormous employment of labor and a large expense. And the preparation for it has been lonjf and Blow. The meeting to arrange it was held in Atlanta, February 2d of this year. The 31st of May and Ist of June are the days selected for the alteration. The exact number of miles to be changed is 13,12,% made up as follows : South Carolina 1,- 320 miles, North Carolina 960, Georgia 2,418, Florida 1,250, Alabama 1,803, Mis sissippi 776, Louisiana 313, Kentucky 1,118, Tennessee 1,886, and Virginia 9SI miles. Only one rail is to be moved. The ties have to be leveled for the rail, and the spikes taken out and the rail moved to the proper distance. It will take three men to the mile, who will do the work between 3 :36 a. in. and 4 p. in. The rolling stock have been altered in the shops. THK CAMPaTuN. lien. Gordon yesterday spoke at Hart well and Carnesville. At Hart well he ev idently made a tine impression. The crowd was polled and stood 125 for Gor don to 25 to Bacon. A significant inci dent was that the Haitwell Sun, that has declared for Bacon, has announced that unless Major Baeou can show that Gordon has falsified him, it will support General Gordon. The Democratic Executive Committee of Hart county has postponed the meeting to select delegates for the first Tuesday in July, This would seem to be indicative of alarm on the part ot the Bacon men, who have heretofore considered the coun ty safe for Bacon. General Gordon spoke at Carnesville, and had ovations at Bowersville and Bu ford. Major Bacon has not resumed the can vass yet, but will soon, it is stated, follow after Gordon. We rather doubt the good policy of so soon going in Gordon’s wake, as the farmers are busy now, and it will be difficult to get them out at such short intervals. CAPITOL CRAYONS. The Way. Two mon, whose names are given, polled the voters on Main atreet. in the town of Senoia, and found 61 for Gordon and 5 for Bacon. They give the names of the voters. This is the way to do. There is something practical and accur ate in this. Tai Capitol wants the facts, and not fantastic exaggerations and wholesale sup positions. Op the five large cities Bacon will get Au gusta, Savannah and Macon; Gordon will get Atlanta, and Columbus is now doubtful. Col. R. G. Mitchell, of Thomas county, the Solicitor General of that Judical Circuit, has declared himself a candidate for Congress. The Louisville Courier-Journal speaks of the Hale collection of Etchings now on exhibition in that city. There are fully 500 proofs of the best eteners. The editor had a pleasant call from Mr. Mark L. Whitman, of West Point. Mr. Whitman was a gallant soldier in the war and a member of the editor’s old cavalry regiment during the struggle. It recalled the stirring duye of strife to renew acquaintance with the brave horseman. We hear a great deal of comment throughout the city over The Capitol’s timely article on the early closing of stores that employ lady clerks as well as thpse that employ gentlemen. It is worthy of comment and the universal de sire of the best people seems to be in favor of tbe movement. Mr. J. W. Bigsby, one of the proprietors of the Baltimore Manufacturers* Record, has just made a flying trip to Anniston Alabama, pass ing through and stopping a short time in At lanta both ways. He spent yesterday in the city. Mr. Bigsbv is a pleasant gentleman and his paper has an extraordinary hold upon the people of the South. The Manufacturers’ Re cord has made a specialty of noting Southern industrial progress, and the value and accuracy of its labors can neither be estimated nor prop erly appreciated. The whole South owes a deep debt of gratitude to this paper that it can. not repay. CAPITOL SALMAGUNDI. Max Makktzkr 1h credited with having evolved an opera entitled “The Peacbblew Vase.

THB EVENING CAPITOL: ATLANTA. GA.. FRIDAY, MIY 28, <BB6 Important Announcement to the public. The “Baltimore Syndicate" takes this means of informing the public that it has decided in order to meet the wishes of a considerable num ber of persons who have heretofore negotiated with the company for tbe purchase of homes, to modify the terms of payment so as to bring the purchase of its elegant hornet) within tbe reach of a larger number of the people than the terms heretofore established permitted. To this end it now announces that it will sell any of its homes upon the cash payment of SSOO and permit the balance of the purchase money to be paid in monthly instalments. THE BALTIMORE PLACE HOUSES. These elegant residences need not be de scribed in detail. They are so generally well known that to enter into a description of their plan, with the innumerable comforts incident to their construction, their health fulness, compac tion of arrangement, their high temperature in winter and low temperature in summer; the completeness of their sanitary arrangements aud the dozen and one features which can alone be appreciated by practical use, to describe which in detail would occupy more space than is necessary or the limits of this communication will permit. It is sufficient to say here that Nos. 9, 11, 13, 15, 17 and 19 of the block are for sale. Either of these can be purchased for $3,500 subject to a ground seat of sllO redeemable at any time within a 1000 years. The ground rent system is universal in the North, is the secret of almost every merchant and mechanic owning his home, without which this ownership might be impossible. We prefer to sell in fee. Every purchaser thus far has purchased subject to a ground rent. The fact that he can carry a re deemable ground rent at so low a rate of inter est as 5 percent, which is all he pays, is the se cret why every one thus far has purchased sub ject to a ground rent. At all events the compa ny will sell either in fee or otherwise justas the purchaser may desire. Now a few words about tba business part of the transaction. The com pany will sell any of the houses above mentioned for $3,500, subject to a ground rent of sllO per annum. It will take SSOO cash, and will allow the remaing $3,000 to be paid in monthly instal ments of S4O, with six per cent interest on the deferred payments, interest ceasing on each payment as made. It will take, say, seventy two months, or just six years to pay off the bal ance of purchase money at S4O per month. Now let us see what the total annual charges are: Twelve monthly payments S4BO One year’s ground rent 110 “ average interest 90 “ tax 72 “ insurance 5 Total for one years7s7 It will be observed that every charge of every kind is included in the above. Now let us see for a moment what the actual strain is on the purchaser, and that after all is the true and proper test which one must apply to himself in testing his or her ability to pur chase. We have seen that the total annual charges of every kind and character aggregate per annum $757, or $63 per month. Now the purchaser during the time that he is making these payments and securing his invest ment is at the same time securing its fruits, for he is occupying the house and thus saving the rent that he would otherwise pay. Now put ting the rental value of these houses at $45 per month (and they are generally conceded to be worth SSO) be ought, injustice to his purchase, deduct the rental value from the total annual charges, for until he owns his home, tbe rental value should be deducted. Tbe calculation weuld accordingly stand thus: Total annual charges 757 00 Annual genial value 640 00 Annual strain on nurchaser 217 00 It will thus be seen that the annual strain on the resources of the purchaser are just $217 or SIB.OO per month. In other words, the purchaser of one of these houses as compared to a tenant paying $45 per month rent is just SIB.OB per month more to pay than the tenant, and in consideration of said payment the purchaser gets back every month S4O clean and clear as a credit on his bal ance as purchase money. He pays SIB.OB a month more, and at the end of six years has his home, whereas the tenant, as above illustrated, has just exactly seventy-two rent receipts, and liable to be kicked out if he should fail to pay the seventy-third. Let us now go a step farther and FIND OUT WHAT THK HOUSK ACTUALLY COSTS the purchaser. Hlh lirst payment wass 500 Six years, $217 each 1,302 Total costsl,Bo2 These figures may seem remarkable and their accuracy may perhaps be doubted by some. It is sufficient to say in leply, that the company is prepared to guarantee their correctness. It will thus be seen, that the people of Atlan ta have here presented an opportunity of which it may truly be said is unprecedented in any city in this country. There is no clap trap about this announcement. The figures are given and their accuracy guaranteed by a com pany of responsibility. Bring your architect with you and let him aid you in making an inspection of the property and ask him for an honest dispassionate judg ment. Ask him what it would cost you to du plicate the house, in hard cash. And after yon have asked him these questions and have re ceived a satisfactory answer, then go and ask snch well known and respected citizens as Dr. Brockett, Colonel Goldsmith, A. P. Tripod, Col. Avery, I. C Bandmann, Capt. Rust, all of whom have lived in the res pective houses which they have purchased, from two to eleven months, and ask them and their wives and their visiting relatives and friends whether they are delighted with their purchases. The writer is sure that there is not one but what is charmed with his purchase. Ask them what temperature they experienced last summer, and they will be apt to tell you that their homes were charmingly cool. Ask them whether they suffered from the severe cold of the past winter, and they will tell you that, if anything, their houses were at times too warm. In brief, ask them, if you choose, whether you ought to buy or not, and act accord ingly. SPRING STREET OR “FARE PLACE” HOUSES. There are six houses left for sale on Spring street: No. 1 has been sold to Miss Hanna; No. 5 to Wm. A. Wimbish; No. 7 to James A. Gray; No. 13 to Mrs. Fannie McCandless. Nos. 3, 11, 15, 17 and 10 are still for sale. These houses will be sold for $2,350, ground rent S9O, redeemable at any time. SSOO cash, balance in monthly payments of S3O. Total annual char ges: Twelve monthly paymentss36o OO Ground rent 90 00 Average interest 55 50 Tax X 4 75 Insurance 4 50 Total annual chargess*3 75 Or about $45 per month. No one who has seen these homes will hesitate to admit that they are cheap at S3O per month rent. Assuming this to be true tbe actual cost of the house would be as follows: Total annual chargess 543.75 Annual rental value 360.00 Annual strain $ 183.75 As it will take a little less than 62 months to pay off the balence of purchase money, the ac count will stand like this: Cash payment $ 500.00 $183.75 per year lor 5 years and 2 months.... 949.37 Total cost of housesl.449 37 These figures must be their own demonstra tion. It would be downright supererogation to attempt to give them additional force by fur ther argument or illustration. The man who can’t, after due reflection, un derstand their force and potency ought not to bother his brain about buying a home, but ought to continue as a tenant. The conipsny hopes, after having made these conces sions. to be able to at once dispose ot its remaining houses. In tw o or three years they will doubtless be worth halt again as much. Every indication shows that these houses are situated in the coming residence sec tion of the city. No portion ot the city has such a beautiful prospect before U. Whether there be any ad vance or not, there will rarely be no reirogmsion* So that a purchaser not only secures a home tor his family in away that can hardly strain bis resources, but he has In addition an incentive to save, conpled with the tact that he is securing an investment which affords him every reasonable expectation that after it Is ocee paid tor it will be worth more than the original purchase m.mey. to say nothing ot tbe years of rent that be has saved to himself and family. Persons desiring to nego iate should call on premises or address J. 8. Bosutsal. PrwsiddnL The Secend Game, The Atlantas again took the game yesterday from Augusta. But she won it only by a hard struggle and a closely contested game. During the first two innings Atlanta had en her batting clothes and pounded away for dear life; sto 3 was the result. After that she did not seem to care so much for batting and seemed to simply keep Augusta from making any. Augusta struggled hard, but the ball was lag gard and would not go «ut far enough. At times it looked as if she would come up all right but the fates were against them and they were left badly. The following is the score: SOUTHERN LEAGUE. Score by innings: Atlanta - -- 53100000 I—lo Augusta - -- 00100011 I—4 GAMES ELSEWHERE. Chattanooga—Ch -ttanoogas 4, Macons 16. Nashville —Nashvilles 5, Savannahs 1. Memphis—Memphis 8, Charlestons 4.

The practice of the scorer putting small, infe rior ciphers after the visiting club is a repre hensible one and should be speedily stopped. The fly caught by the visitor in the left gal-' lery was a good one. The Augustas play a good game. Augusta seamed nervous. Atlanta seems to be invincible. Purcell has now gotten his men well together. There is but little difference between the sizes and physiques of the Atlantas and Augustas. Atlanta does fine coaching now-a-days. There was a fair crowd, but some judicious advertising would increase it very materially. It seems grange that they should so neglect this greaFhelp. The game was a thrilling one. Augusta plays a strong game, but Atlanta leads her at the bat. The crowd outside the grounds is about as large as that inside and they get a good view of the game free. Shaffer is a treasure. Augusta needs better coaching. Tbe sun unusually hot. Tbe grounds were in fine condition. The umpire stopped the game for a minute to borrow a chew of tobacco from Stricker. Atlanta is hanging well to the top round. What has become of yerf eh!l hoolll Purcell put in a home run on the ninth inning just for fun as it were. The street-car tracks should be extended to the tracks and beyond, so that people can be left it the gate and be taken up at the same place. The small boys flock into the grounds after the game like sheep. The colored people do not come out in very large numbers. The lawn tennis grounds at Peters park, near the ball ground, are filled with players every afternoon. The game had no special features. Augusta vs. Atlanta. The management should do something to wards making the seats in the grand stand more comfortable, if they expect ladifis to go out much. As they are now, they are very tire some. A free pass to one or two small boys would get them to dust off the seats and have them clean. FORIaLE! STRAWBERRY and TRUCK FARM AND VINEYARDI o Only One and Half Miles from Atlanta, on the Flat Shoals load, Rear McPherson Monument. CONTAINING THIRTY-EIGHT THREE-FIFTHS ACRES I 14 ACRES immEM! Hye Acres in Vineyard of Con cord Grapes—Seven Acres Bottom Land I Two Fine Springs and Running Branches. Two Excellent Wells on tbe place. One 4-room Dwelling and needed out-houses on one part ot the farm, and one 3-room Dwell ing and out-buildings on the other —both con veniently located. The Strawberry crop of this year (1886) sold in the field on the vines for $1,500 to a purchaser in Atlanta, who made a good profit en that price. The crop of next year will be even more valua ble. The yield of the 3,000 Bearing Grape Vines this year is estimated to be worth SI,OOO, and the vines have just begun to bear. Every year this Vineyard of five acres will become more and more valuable, and it alone will pay a good income on the sum for which this whole farm can be bought. Tho Truck from this place will also bring in a good income, to say nothing of the Peaches, Tears, Apples, Plums and other fruits. If a few acres were planted in Raspberries, which ripen just as the Strawberries aro gone, this would be another source of revenue, and pay quite as well as the Strawberry crop. With a soil already rich, and which has a clay foundation, holding all the fertilizers used, this farm ot AB}fi acres, only miles from the city, on a great thoroughfare and excellent road, in'a fine neighborhood of good, thrifty white people, would soon become a real Bonanza to an ener getic, capable man. It will be sold on the most liberal terms : one third cash, the balance in one, two and three years, with 8 per cent, interest. The price is very low. For further particulars, address SAM’L W.

SOMETHING WORTH ATTENTION. A Visit te tiie Establishment of J. C. Peck, on Collins Street. Yesterday a reporter was taking the rounds and was going out Collins street when his at tention was suddenly attracted by the buzzing of saws, rackets of plainers and the running of machinery. This was going on in a very large- brick building and as the whole thing was somewhat new to the reporter he went in and began to look around. After a mo ment the venerable Mr. J. C. Peck came around and asked the scribe to look through with him and the invitation was accepted. He found a number of skillful workmen busy making doors, windows, blinds, newells, etc., of the veiy finest and costliest kind. The doors were made by glueing inch plank together. Evorv other strip then in the door was of a different kind of wood. These strips were of nearly every kind, such as oak, walnut, ask, cherry, hickory, pine, and very nearly all other kind imaginable. Mr. Peck has a new process of kiln drying all wood after it has been dressed. This insures no warping after it leaves tbe shop. He has the most complete assortment of lum ber that we have seen for a long time. He bas just got in a large lot. He has a new lot of ma chinery. This establishment is new, but Mr. Peck has been in the business for more than 29 years, and his long experience insures good and prompt work. The reporter leit with the convictions that he had seen there at No. 40 Collins street, some thing new and of great credit to the city.
