ATLANTA GEORGIA
Sunday Mornins. Doe. lie 1870.
A fbw dnyi since wc received a printed copy
in pamphlet lorm, Irom (he Carte rsviilu Express
o flics, containing the sermon preached by Bcv
Dr. W. U. Felton, at Cartcrsvillc, Or., on tho
life and character of Genera! Hubert E I ax, and
wo present It to oar readers In this rriorn'ngV
issao of tha Intullioenckr, snd commend It
to tbom. It is an admirable sermon and ' •
worthy of the consideration of all poisons.
Water Work* and l ree School*
Upon these great questions we have never ee
tertalncd but one opinion, and that opinion ha<
been fully made known through tho Column* ot
our paper, from tho first time the proposition
wsa made up to llio very nnirniDg upon which
the people of Atlanta were at tho ballot box to
decide for or against these cutopcan schemes o!
Internal improvements. Our opinion has un
dergone no change whatever upon tho,subject;
we were opposed to tho pHns suggested lor
their accomplishment then, and ho' 1 the tame
position tow, !n reference to tho iiexpecl'eney
cl tho whole matter under ihu now existing
embarrassed financial affairs of the city, and 61
tho entire community. Never, In tue hlstoiy ol
Atlanta, was there a time when there was sutfii
a periect stagnation in business ot all kind*, a*
at the present period. Wo hear upon the street*,
the counting rooms and mechanical shop*, cue
universal complaint of a want of money, mid
the utter Inability of the people to meet tho de
mands daily made upon them. We might enter
Into a wide field of speculation as to the c&uves
which have led to a slate ot things so depress
ing upon the feelings ol the people, but the
simple fact that such is the condition ol our
city and country is au argument which builew
will be willing to answer.! Doubtless the war,
which is now going on in Europe has a great
deal to do with the scarcity of money through
out tho country. Tha low price of cotton muy,
to some extent, be attributable to the cauac ot
this war. Tho existence ol this state of the
money market Is an admitted fact by all, and a»
a natural consequence, thousands who sre it
want of lunds, and compelled to have them at
almost any sacrifice, will necessarily press their
real estate upon the market, which must conse
quently lower the va.'ue of such species ol
property In our city and render our cltir.ens less
able to meet the accumulating expenses wli. 1
are daily growing In the powerful Increase ol
taxes which will be levied upon us during the
Incoming fiscal year of 1871.
We appeal to tho common sense of evciy
sensible man in our community to think calmly
upon tho important issues involved in the so
mammoth schemes of Water Works and Fret
Hchoola. What they will cost your city in the
course of twenty years? How much tux will
be drawn out of your pockets s i the result of a
direct tax upon your real and personal estate
to keep these mighty engines In proper moving
order ? We appeal now to your pecuniary In
terest, as the beet means ol arousing you to a
proper conception of what is involved in a work
of such hugo proportions. Think ol ii, $100,-
000 for the purpose ol establishing Free
Schools I Then $500,000 more a ided to this
for the erection of Water Works, making in all
$000,000, to be covered by bonds issued by the
City Council of Atlanta to be matured at the
close of twenty years. These bonds to tie sold
at a discount by being thrown upon a Northern
market, all for the purpose ot meeting the ac
cumulating expenses of these improvements, at
the same time the Interest upon these bonds are
to be met promptly at maturity, and that inter
est Is to be made out ol tho citizens of Atlanta
by direct taxation. If we but take into considera
tion. another bet, that we are already .la debt
to a very large amount, and that the city bonds
are only at this time worth about 70 cents in tha
dollar, and then add the $000,000 more, we
cannot come to but one of two conclusions:
either city bonds will depreciate down to about
40 or 00 cents in the dollar, or the Inhabitants
ot Atlanta will be mado penniless in less than
five years by the grim visage ol the tax gatherer,
being forever found hammering at their doors
for their last farthing,
Wo believe the subject is one of momentous
consequences upon the future of our people;
While we admit the question bos been sub
mitted for their rejection; yet facts and figures
show beyond contradiction that the very meagre
vote given in favor of the propositions sub
mitted to the people, was not the popular voice
of the citizens of Atlanta in favor of the estab
lishing either of water works or Iree schools in
the city. It is well known that the excitement
In relation to tho Mayor and Councilmcn was
so great that every other question dwindled into
apparent insignificance; the questions, " for or
against water works and iree schools,” being
printed upon the samo tickets were voted with-
oat even recognition by the parties voting; In
this way a majority has been claimed by the
advocates of the scheme; while two-thirds of
the free voters of Atlanta would stamp upon
both questions their deepest unmitigated die
approbation U submitted to them again. The
Whole arrangement waa a trap in which the
people were unexpectedly caught; but the set
of men who may assume the responsibility ol
placing upon the ahoulders ot our people the
heavy burthen ol $600,000 to tremble nuder for
jwars to come, in addition to which is
•{ready qpoo us, will be very apt to receive the
1M4 disapprobation of every man who
h nJMptanrted pecuniarily.
if Tfcc wealthy map may survive the
tax, for the reason that he makes up the do
flclcncics by increasing his rent*in proportion
to the demands made upon liia property, while
tho poor of nur city has increase made upon
him for taxes at least throe ti nea os much on
formerly, which does not come out ol rente,
Inn out ol hit* daily wages, which ought to go
to the support of his wife aud chvWrew.- The
importance ol tint subject, aud the cod Hiding
interests involved, demands .ho serious, sober
investigation of our best financial miuds. Wc
trust that tbe whole subject may yet again be
brought Indore our citizens, alter giving pub
licity to the acts ol the Legislature passed in
reference to it; that every man’s mind may lx;
fu-’y enlightened; that no outside influences
may ho brought to hear upon any voter for
[iccnnisry advantages, that u free, lull and fair
expression ot the popular will may be given
This done, and wo shall he fully satisfied with
liie result, and give our lpfiaenoe whether lor or
i ;aiiist water works and free schools iu the city
ol Atlanta.

The I'onnli ••Ulnar.**
A ring io understood to he the eomjoctlon of
public functionaries, with outsiders, iu the con
summation ol projects for their mutual (xrsuuit
inti rest, rcgi.nlH'fs of the public good.
JIcastfre6 sought to be passed in this way
generally succeed, whou brought to’s test, Idi
they are rarely attempted till sufficient internal
intlueuco it secured.
Great anxiety and energy were displayed by
the parties at Interest,'On Friday night laid, in
Gity Coupdl, to put through the project ol tho
fourth great ring of the year.
'I hose iiHereslod in the sale of the Opera
I louse to the State, at an enormous prlae, •con
nected with a gift by tho city of $1)5,000 to the
principal, -as been called " ring No. 1.”
Those w ho, lor selfish purpose, sought the
passage of a bill leasing tho Statu Hoad, are
said to form " ring No. 2,"
Those conucctcd with the swindle upon the
Mitchell heirs iu order to divide the property
amongst themselves form a double ring, iu tho
•triotest sense of the term, ami may be called
ring No. fi.
Kvldouces of tho same ringmaster and priuci
pal beneficiary, are very clear in the operations
ol lings Nos. 1 anil d; and finding the same
subalterns iuNo. 4, Ids connection!with this is
also clearly inferred.
Ah above intimated, ring No. 4 is upon *t?
end its members press their measure iu the lull
hope of complete success. Tho rib ringmaster
led the attack In Council by a feint on the bids
lot water works, iu the form of an apology lor
allowing An party to change their bid since
being opened in Council at a previous meeting
The veteran on the watch tower, however,
did not allow himself deceived by this piece Oi
treachery, aud made a firm aland oti legality and
justice. This decision of His Honor brought
Irom the little f ,i hireling," for ouo,- I’ll not sub
mitloH”—his Hushed countenance exhibiting
ns much pugnacity as la required tor a man to
etui his daddy, or charge a sack ol Hour ahtui
doacd by the commissary.
Several opposed Ills Honor in excited speeches
lor the ring, three ol whom are probably mem
bers in good standing. His Honor was sue
taiued by his Irgnl adviser, but warmly opposed
by Ex-Judge Lochrann who was called to the
Inmt. Thu Judge wm present on other husi-
m as. A pump In the street required tbe atteu
tuition of Council. Don’t know bidders or.
water works. How kind iu him to give so dis
interested an opinion on u legal question gprunj'
upon the ring, and tho fact ol his favoring tliclr
project may bs a coincidence. Who knows
that os a hireling or otherwise, he belongs to
this organization ?

Will be delivered in the Methodist Church, on
Mulberry street, next Tuesday evening, by the
H< v. Dr. Harrison, of Allama (see advertise
ment.) There is too much drinking in Macon
and present need of effort on the part ot the
people to discourage the practice. A few weeks
sgo, wo heard a young man, not thirty years
old, say that out of nine of ibe most intimate
Companions of his boyhood iu Macon, seven had
jK.Tishcd miserably from intemperance, and it
is a tact equally truo and lamentably that tbe
common social huhita And practices in this city
are such ns to ensnare the young In the meshes
of ibis fatal habit before they arc aware ol i'.
We arc gl td to see that the public attention is
to be assured hi the subject.— TrlrgrapH and

These are tbe words of eulogy applied bv
King David to Abner, tho military chieftain t f
tho house of King Saul. Abner after exhausting
all his resources, snd finding that it was useless
to prosecute tho war any longer against David,
determined to surrender all his forces. The
terms of capitulation lud been agreed upon—an
interview between the rival captains bud taken
place. David at this interview extended to Ab
ner and his body guard tho hospitalities aud
courtesies which were due to a brave and gen
erous enemy, and dually dismissed him with
every murk of respect and esteem. Hut Abner
bad not proceeded tar on his return home before
lie waa arrested by thu messengarH ol the euvt-
oiis and malignant Joub. Hu is carried buck
io Hebron, and Josb, while conversing with
him under the guise of lticudsbip, stabbed bun
so that be died.
David, when lie hears ol Ins death, drajica bis
household iu mourning, and himself follows the
bier to tho grave, wei ping hko a child ; and all
the people wept at the grave of Abner. A her
ibo interment, when thu King's servants iu

ita promises should comlort us in our loss, and
brigbtuu tbe path that leads to the ” inheritance
ot the saints," which he has obtained.
It Is a sublime thought, that such a man is hi

1'hal character was the result uf long con

A* wo have stated, Gun Lkb was a Christian,

M* ucver f iryet his dispatches announcing
to the country men * ruble victories—victories
lestincd to hvo in history and song as long as
great deeds are h mured among men. They
were in spirit but a repetition ot the old doxolo-
gie - “ Not unto us. O Lord, uot uuto us, but
unto thy name give glory." *' Uuto thee, O God,
do we give thank: , unto thee do weg.vo thank*
1 r that thy name Is near, thy wondrous work
declare. O sing unto the L *rd a new song; lor
he hath done marv-.lous things; lua right hand
and his holy arm lidh gotten him the victory.”
“'The Lord hath made known bis salvation.
And ha h red, * med us Irom our enemies,” it is
probable that Gen. Loo did not believe that bat
tle w 3 decision of the ‘'ju.-ticu of God,” or
that tin* resul' id the war determined the legal
equities ol an intcriiatkmid cause. But he was
deeply religion* -he recognized the hand <d
God in everything—Ida heart was the traiucl
and *i scipllned respondent ol God's mercies,

tb- "Father ot Lights."
When ho parted with his troops at Appoina-
tox, lie dismis -*1 them with these manly words:
“ 1 earnestly pray that a mtrcilul God will ex

‘t'i God, and Uie word ol Ids grace,"—who
“ kneeled down and prayed with them all"
A'ui they all wept sore, “sorrowing most ol all
•or the words which ho spake, that they should
see his face no more."
