Entered at Atlanta P. 0. as second-ci ass matter.
Lauhy Gantt is one of the hardest po
litical hitters of the State. His warfare is
nr> child's play.
We insist uponour brethren of the press
going it mildly in their political narra
tives. Give us the sober facts, not the
intoxicated exaggerations. Report exact
figures.
The legislature of Louisiana has passed
a strict Sunday law restricting labor, and
the bill has gone to the Governor for sig
natur j. New Orleans is fighting solidly
against the bill.
Tnx city fathers have done a proper
thing in removing the prohibition from
newsboys crying their papers. This is a
Capitol victory, as this paper brought the
injustice of the matter to attention. The
ice cream vendors have been allowed to
cry their wares. There should be ao dis
crimination against the press.
That mass meeting in Augusta last
Saturday was a rare compliment to Bacon.
If Bacon is defeated he may partially
compensate himself with the memory of
the tribute paid him by that cultured and
intelligent community. In a gathering of
a thousand men he had over 800. This
result is a tribute to the strong influence
of Pat Walsh.
Thk Quitman Free Press announces,
evidently by authority, that Congressman
Henry G. Turner will not be a candidate
for Governor, but is in the race for Con
gress. From the present outlook this is a
wise announcement, as things indicate
that Mr. Turner will have his hands full
* in securing a renomination.
One of the wisest heads and best
judges of political affairs in Georgia, a
veteran public officer, distinguished and
candid, was asked his view of the result
ci the gubernatorial canvass. He replied:
'‘Everything points to Gordon’s nomina
tion. He will carry most of the counties
North of the Chattahoochee, and a large
number around Columbus, and divide the
rest.”
We give the opinion for what it is
WortK
STOP THE DETRACTION.
The newspaper or the man that seeks to
show that either Gordon or Bacon are un
worthy of the support of the people of
<Georgia for the high place of Governor is
engaged in an ungracious task. They are
I) otb competent and deserving. They are
typical Geoigians, honorable and capable,
who will fill the executive chair well and
protect the fame and interest of the State.
»Mr Walsh, an ardent Bacon supporter,
voices the view of the Capitol in the fol
lowing true utterances:
"There is nothing in the reputation, record or
personnel of the candidates that either demands
or justifies a campaign of detraction and scurri
lous abuse. Both of the gentlemen who are
aeoking the office are high-toned and honorable,
and no journal should be ao partisan in its sup
port or denunciatory in its opposition, that it
could not cordially advocate the nominee of the
party should he prove to be not the candidate of
hie own choosing."
PAHTIZANINM.
It is very difficult in a heated contest
for a paper to avoid using illegitimate
championship. The desire to succeed im
pels to the use of every means to win suc
cess.
Take for instance the journals that lead
in the gubernatorial battle, and with the
exception of the Augusta Chronicle, which
abstains from much partizhnship that the
others practice, they are absolutely one
sided. Everything isjcolored to help that
side; favorable news on the other side is,
if stated at all, qualified to break its force,
while the most irrelevant and sophistical
•dvocacy is pressed regardless of fact or
justice.
The most wanton exaggerations and de
liberate perversions are coolly indulged
in. This is all wrong. It should be con
demned by the people, and checked as far
as possible.
THE COUNT.
Yesterday we summed up Bacon’s
strength as 12 counties ami 32 votes, and
Gordon’s as 11 counties and 24 votes.
Bacon, in addition, has Clinch, 2; Bul
loch, 2; Montgomery, 2: making 3 more
counties and 6 more votes to add to bis
previous count, this giving him 15 coun
ties and 38 votes.
Gordon carrier! Screven yesterday, 2
votes, and will carry Fulton to-day, 6
votes, making his count stand 13,counties
Rad. 32 votes.
Bacon at present is ahead 2 counties
and 6 votes. ,

GLADSTONE DEFEATED.
Gladstone’s Irish Home Ku’ 0 measure
was defeated in Parliament yesterday, as
Tire Capitol has predicted that it would
be.
We have seen no hope for the passage
of the measure recently,save by a miracle.
The vote stood 311 for the bill and 341
against, or a majority of 30 for its defeat.
This is even a larger majority than we
counted upon.
It is a heavy blow to Gladstone, and the
great old man was much affected by the
action. He moved to adjourn to Thurs
day and left the house looking haggard.
Lord Randolph Churchill threw up his
hat. The I’arnellites called Chamber
lain “Traitor” and “Judas Iscariot,” at
which he smiled.
The programme at present is for the
Queen to dissolve Parliament, and for the
country to go into a new election. Par
liaments last seven years unless dissolved.
This Parliament will have a short exis
tence.
No man can now tell what will be the
result of the new election.

The Lucy Cobb Institute.
There is a story of romance in the founding
and naming of the prosperous female college at
Athens, the “Lvot Cobb Institutk.”
Before the war, and since Athens was a place
of wealth and culture. It has been the home of
dur best and most distinguished folks. The
Cobb family were among its citizens. A mar
ried sister of Howell and Thomas R. R. Cobb,
with daughters growing to womanhood wrote an
anonymous article in the newspaper regretting
the necessity that parents were under of having
to send off their daughters away from home to
hunt up a finishing educational seminary.
Gen. Tom Cobb, the brother of this lady,
knowing nothing of the authorship of the arti
cle, but struck by the appeal and having daugh
ters of his own to oducate, took up the sugges
tion and carried it through. He raised the
money and put the institute upon its feet.
It was a graceful and pathetic recognition of
his service that when he lost a blooming young
daughter, just budding into a sweet woman
hood, the institution should have been tenderly
named for her in lasting commemoration of her
father’s service.
The two incidents are peculiarly suggestive.
A sisters timely inspiration found unconscious
ly her own brother the instrumentality of exe
cuting her valuable idea, while for him a sad
bereavement was made the occasion of vitalis
ing the public memory of his loss.
That Fiat Battle.
Athens last week had a sensation. And At
lanta as usual figured foremost in it.
Two Atlanta boys fell out. The dispute ended
in a snapping charge of falsehood and a prompt
challenge to fight under the Queensbury rules.
The challenged boy as promptly accepted the
invitation to fight, but put aside the Queens
bury rules.
Another Atlanta boy became second and a
Professor’s son was the other second. An Ath
ens young gentleman was referee. Attended by
over a hundred students and a number of citi
zens the two belligerents with their backers
went out on the river two miles from the town
and stripped for the duel.
The mill was very lively. Each young pugi-.
list achieved a knockdown. The rules forbade
any striking while down, and limited the fight
to 15 minutes. During the first throe minutes
the earnest combatants pretty well bunged
each other up, and then tussled through with
but little more damage. At the end of the fif
teen minutes the referee called the battle
drawn, and the two gladiators shook hands,
thoroughly pummelled and satisfied, and in a
properly amicable mood tn each other.
The ladies as a general thing have compli
mented the change from the bludgeon to the
fist as a healthy and gratifying oue. The faculty
are much annoyed. Some writer recalls that
fight in Tom Browns school days at Rugby,
that forms a vivid chapter in that entertaining
book, and eulogizes the spirit of the British and
Georgia boys, who fall out and settle in a manly
way and then become fast friends.
Atlanta still keeps to the front.

THB EVENING CAPITOL: ATLANTA. GA. TUESDAY, JUNE 8, 1886
Important Announcement to the
Public.
The “Baltimore Syndicate” takes thjs 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 the purchase of homes, to
modify the terms of payment so as to bring the
purchase of its elegant homes 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 tbe balance of the purchase money
to be paid in monthly instalments.
TBI BALTIMORE BLACK HOUSKS.
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 healthfulness, 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 per cent, 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 just as the
purchaser may desire. Now a few words about
the 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, aud will allow
the remaing $3,000 to be paid in monthly instal
ments of S4O, with six per cent interest on tbe
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 paymenu S4BO
One year’s ground rent 110
“ average Into rest SO
“ 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 tbe 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 tbe
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 bis purchase,
deduct the rental value from the total annual
charges, for until he owns bis home, the rental
value should be deducted.
The calculation would accordingly stand
thus:
Total annual charges 757 00
Annual (rental value 540 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, tbe 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 year’s 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 THE HOUSE ACTUALLY COSTS
the purchaser.
Ills first payment wass 500
Six years, $217 each 1,302
Total cost;sl,Bo2
These figures may seem remarkable and their
accuracy may perhaps be doubted by some. It
is sufficient to say in reply, 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 oy 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. him what it would cost you to du
plicate the house, in hard cash. And after you
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. I’. 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
ccld 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 “BARK BLACK’’ 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. Theee
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 00
Ground rent 90 00
Average interest 55 50
Tax S 3 75
Insurance 4 50
Total annual charge $543 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 the 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 house $1,449.37
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 company hopes, after having made the-e ronces
sious, to be able to at once dispose ot its i ‘mailing
bouses, lu two or three years they will doubLess l>e
worth halt again as much. Every indication shows that
theae houses are situated in the coining residence sec
tion ot the city. No portion ot the city has snch a
beautiful prospect before it. Whethar there be any ad
vance or not, there will surely be no retrogression. So
that a purchaser not only secures a boats tor his family
in away that can hardly strain his resoaroes. bat he
has in addition an incentive to **'t, coupled with the
fact that he is securing an investment which affords him
every reasonable expectation that after it la onee paid
for it will be worth more than the original purchase
money, to *ay nothing at lb* years of rent that he hu
saved to himself and family. Pers, ns desiring to nego

Graduating Exercises of the Gam
mon School of Theology.
The Gammon School of Theology, of Clark
University, held interesting graduating exer
cises at the colored Methodist church, corner
Pryor and Hunter streets, this morning at 10
o’clock.
The Gammon school of theology, of Clark
university, was opened in the large and beauti
ful hall provided for its use, in October, 1883.
The building and partial endowment are due to
the labors of Bishop Warren, and to the liber
ality of tbe Rev. E. H. Gammon, the generous
friend and patron of the school, in whose honor
the institute is named.
It is the purpose of the founders of the school
to furnish the best advantages to those prepar
ing for the ministry.
This institution was founded on the conviction
that the ministers should be trained with some
reference to tbe needs of this particular field;
that they should be kept in close sympathy with
the people. To secure these ends is the aim of
this institution.
The following was the programme of exer
cises:
Chorus— Church Rallying Song. Prayer.
Music —Bong of Soil, by quartette. Our Mis
sion—H. N. Brown, Cleveland, Tenn. “Rocks
A bead," N. H. Williams. Corinth, Miss. Mu
sic—Sweet and Low, by Quartette. The Preach
ing Required for the Times, A. P. Melton, At
lanta. The Relation of the ministry to the Col
ored People of the South, J. B. L. Williams,
LaGrange. Anthem—Like a Father Pitieth his
Children. Inspiration of the Bible, T. C. Levert,
Marion, Ala. The Outlook for Africa, T.W.
Haigler, Decatur. Christ in Human Progress,
J. M. Cox, Atlanta. Anthem —Inspirer and
Hearer of Prayer, by Quartette. Conferring
Legrees and Diplomas. Addresses.
The seven names in tbe programme compose
the graduating class —the first since the found
ing of the school. Every one of the class did
most creditably, and the entire programme was
well carried out. Tne church was crowded and
the audience well pleased with the entertain
ment.
A Trip to California.
Tbe following private letter, written to a well
known gentleman in the city, is so well written,
and contains so many interesting traveling
notes, that we give it space:
San Francisco, Cal.
As you are aware, I left your city Monday,
sp. m., Mav 3d. I took breakfast in Nashville,
4th, and supper in St. Louis same day, and
breakfasted in Kansas City sth, 900 miles out
on my journey. There I had two hours, and
spent it taking in that lively town of 104,000
population and rapidly improving. It is built
on hills, mountains. There I saw for the first
time the cable cars and took a ride on them. I
had never been in the State before, and natur
ally felt interested in new territory. The lands
are verv rich and lay most beautifully. Some
of tbe finest farms I ever saw lay along our
route. Thursday the 6th, early in the morning,
I was awakened by a gentleman near me, oppo
site berth, exclaiming, “Pike’s Peak!” Quickly
looking out through the window I saw some
thing in the distance having the appearance of
a cloud thunder-head in the the summer time,
and there the Mount of Colorado stood 14,000
/eet high and covered with snow all about the
top. Soon we were in the beautiful city of
Denver, a city of 60,000 population lying at the
foot of the Rocky Mountains—the chain in full
view north west and south for more than a hun
dred miles above and below. The toot hills are
about 17 miles away from the city, but a stran
ger would take them to be four or five miles
only. Long’s Peak, to the northwest 75 miles,
is clearly seen, and Pike’s Peak, same distance
to the southwest. Either of these are more
than 14,200 teet high. I had about five hours
there, and spent it taking in the city. Called
at tbe Y. M. C. A. and made them a talk at the
noon-day service. I was then 1,600 miles from
Atlanta. Next stopped at Cheyenne for two hours
waiting for the Omaha train—a city of 8,000
population and 6,000 feet above the sea. , Thera
was a “strike on” while we were there, but our
train was not interrupted. Friday night, 7th,
we arrived in Ogden, 7 p. m., 2,200 miles out.
There I left my train and bought ticket to Salt
Lake City, forty miles, wishing to take
it in on my way out. I stopped
over there Saturdav and Sunday
I l wls very much worn, tired and dusty and
enjoyed a good night’s rest and sleep at the Val
ley house; Saturday took in the beautifnl city
of 25,000 population. It it located in a lovely
valley surrounded by snow-capped mountains
ranging from five to ten thousand feet high. I
I visited tbe tabernacle; it seats about 12,000
people; saw the largest organ in the world, cost
more than $150,000 and was built in the taber
nacle; is 40 feet high, 20 feet wide or more.
Heard one of the distinguished Mormon orators
on his “ism” and visited their museum. Saw the
Temple, one of the finest buildings in America,
commenced in 1856, to be finished in six years.
The city is well watered. They have one store
320 feet long, 100 feet wide, four stories and
basement, employ 150 salesmen, sell 5 millions
a year. One-fifth of the population are known
as gentiles. Out to Ogden Sunday night and
then on my last run. There was beautiful and
grand scenery all along, that I can’t mention in
my letter, but will mention Cape Horn, which
we passed on Tuesday morning just, about light.
Only a few of us were permitted to see it; near
ly all on board were asleep. I had requested a
party to wake me isl should be asleep. Luck
ily I was awake and woke a lady and gentleman.
We had to stand out on the platform and look
down into the chasm. As the train rolled
around the top of the mountain the light from
the east broke in on the scene, and we, for a mo
ment or two looked down 2,000 feet, while awful
silence reigned within our hearts as we strain
ed our eyes to catch the light at the very bot
tom. We are now on California soil at last,
and our long ride of 3,100 miles will soon be
over. For more than 1,200 miles we have been
on a barren looking bleak prairie, but now vege
tation is springing up all along and the trees
are thickly covered with a rich foliage. Rain
has fallen, and we are in sight of the rich and
beautiful Sacramento valley, and wheat fields,
orchards, vineyards and beautiful roses in pro
fusion welcome us to tbe golden shore. We
breakfasted in Sacramento city, the capitol of
the State. There is a large picnic party, of ten
Sunday schools, going up the valley into the
mountains —a thousand children, and" lam invi
ted to go, and as I have yet one more day on
my ticket, I accept, and leave my train again
and go out into the country to have
a splendid dinner, climb tbe grassy mountain,
and view tha“landscape o’er.” For more than
thirty miles I see the dome of the State capitol
without the aid of glasses, so clear is the at
mosphere. The thousand children have a glori
ous day and the others. At seven we are back in
the city. I take room at hotel, and Wednesday
morning take train down the Sacramento valley
to my journey’s end. Soon we come in full
view’of the “golden gate” from the Oakland
side and, our train stopping, get aboard the
Monster Ferry boat, cross over to the golden
city of the west, San Francisco, and amid the
blowing of whistles, rattling of vehicles and the
yelling hack men, I climb into a buss and hurry
away to the Brooklyn House, register and the
Sroprietor says you are a long ways from home,

Dr. Felton evidently fell heir to the
shroud of the Markham house conference.
It is said that “Ben Butler wants to be
investigated.” As a rule the Ishmaelite
is in favor of investigations. It always
favors them when in the interest of public
health and morals. But it does not favor
the investigation of Butler just now. Let
him wait till cooler weather. There are
too many cholera symptoms in the coun
try to justify the uncovering of Butler.
Let old Dana, of the renegade Sun, lay

Statistics show that of the members of
the present Congress, there are 125 who
do not belong to any church. And yet the
Christian churches of this country are
spending thousands of dollars annually on
foreign fissions.

Inflammatory Rheumatism—State
ment of Rev. J. M. L6wry.
For over two years I suffered intensely
with muscular rheumatism. I became al
most helpless, and had to be helped fre
quently out of bed. At times I was unable
to turn myself in bed, and had to be han
dled as tenderly as an infant. My body,
from my waist up, was involved, and
the pain was intolerable at times. All
the old and well-known remedies were ex
hausted, but no permanent relief was ob
tained. About a year ago I was in
duced by a friend to try Swift’s Specific.
The effect has been magical. My friends
scarcely recognize me. My rheumatism
is entirely gone, my general health is
superb, and I am weighing thirty pounds
more than when I commenced taking S.
S. S. lam able to attend to all my min
isterial work. lam devoutly grateful for
my restoration to health, which I owe,
under the blessing of God, to Swift’s Spe
cific. J. M. Lowry.
