CALL FOR A CONSTITUTION AI. CONVEN TION. KiAball Hoube, Atlanta, Ga.. I' October 5,1870. j Editor of Times: To-day is a glo rious ono in autumn. Tho sky is of untarnished blue, glowing like a samphire. The air is staid in stillness; not even a gentle bteezo whispers— not a tjird sings or flaunts through the groves near by. It is an hour of triumphant repose, even the ener gies of busy man are at a stand still, Ilia political passions are suspended for tho moment; black and white quitetly rejoice in Colquitt’s election with a long array of able Conserva tives to the Senate and House of Representatives. All believe that Colquitt will do his duty marked out by the State laws. From the latter bodies much ts expected. It is to them we look for the call of a Con vention of the People to rebuild the •'constitution,” the “ship of State,” “our temple” of liberty. It is by their proclamation that, we expeot to be permitted to return to Miilege ville, after 12 years of travel over rough and rugged roads, since the destruction of our principles by Bullock and his associates in office. May the solemnity of State Govern ment be duly impressed on their minds, and may they enact happy and lasting laws for the benefit of all races. May the incenso of patri otism constantly burn in the Senate Chamber and the House of Repre sentatives as a sacrifice of sweet smelling savor, well pleasing the black man as well as the white. And since vandals, thieves and robbers, under cover of the name of tho Geor gia Legislature destroyed our “old constitution” may the present body, composed of lovers of peace, lovers of State and lovers of the Union, aid us by their sound wisdom in making anew constitution of reformation, and may the blessings of the new be greater even than the blessings of tho old, is the prayer of all Geor gians, except a very few Radicals. Republicans and Decocrats aliko de sire it. MBS. OVERBV AS STATE LIBBARIAN. Since you made the suggestion about the appointment of this most excellent lady to the important of fice of State Librarian, we have heard the opinion of many persons in several counties in regard thereto, and nearly all seem to desire that Governor Colquitt should offer her the position, and should she decline the office, then some other lady of efficiency, and not to an able-bodied tnan who can and should seek a livelihood in another and more man ly sphere, and thereby enable some lady to earn an honest living in this place of trust. ATLANTA Is our Capital by fraud. The Capitol building is a disgraeeito .the city, to the State.' H. I. Kimball and others sold It to the State thieves when they had Radical rule In Georgia. Take from it this pollution and strip it of the Radical smell, and still it is a shame to the State, and endangers the lives of all who occupy it. In 1836 a small village was located here called Terminus. In 1843, in tadnor of Miss Lumpkin, of Athens it was re-named Marthasville, and Incorporated as such. In 1847 the people again petitioned a change of name, and it was incorporated under the name of Atlanta, after the myth oloelcal Goddess Atalanta, noted for strength and fleetDess. Hardy Ivy was the first citizen, William Kyle the first merohant, of Marthasville. The Luminary, published by Joseph Baker, was the first newspaper pub lished in Atlanta. In 18G5 Sherman, the house-burner, laid waste the city by fire, as he did Columbia, South Carolina. But to-day the city stands a proud monument to Georgia’s in dustry and energy. They have re built the city with manful efforts, re moving all obstacles. “The general plan of Atlanta is beautiful, being a perfect circle, with the centre near the passenger depot But the plan of the streets is not so good. Indeed, the streets do not ap pear to be laid off with any regard to system or order. They turn about in various ways, and cross each other at every kind of angle. The location and direction of old roads seem to have more to do with the course of the streets than anything else; and it might be said that the plan of the streets is about this; Where you find a road, take it. The streets are also rather narrow, but not enough so to THE DAILY TIMES. have any injurious effect upon health, with theadvantgesof thorough drain age, pure air, good water, and proper attention to sanitary conditions. “The city being situated on tho di viding ridgo between tho waters of the Atlantic ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, has perfect natural drainage. One of the heads of the Oomulgee is in the very centre of the city, near tho passenger depot; while Walton Spring, also in the midst of tho city, finds its way into the Chattahoochee, and thence to the Gulf. “The country around tho city is an elovated rolling table land, free from bodies of stagnant water, and fanned by invigorating breezes, blowing mostly from the high and dry regions on the north and west. “The scenery around Atlanta is picturesque and attractive. The city is spread over a number of hills, thus relieving it from the monotony of a level plain and bringing out its pro minent buildings in bold relief. On the east, plainly visible from the city, towers Stone Mountain ; on the north are seen the distant peaks of the Blue Ridge; and much nearer, and plainly in view, are tho historic Ken nesaw and Lost Mountains.” AS A BUSINESS CENTRE, Atlanta has no rival in Georgia. She will always bo the Commercial City of the Empire State. Her merchants are alive to tho wants of the sur rounding country, and always stand ready to duplicate orders at New York prices by the wholesale to the country dealers. lu 1871 John Stulnbaek Wilson, a citizen of the Capital, thus described the SOCIETY OF ATLANTA. “Allusion having been mado to the social, religious and educational ad vantages of Atlanta, this is a very proper place to speak more fully on the society, etc. In anew place like this, to which people from all quar ters have been attracted soon after a great revolution which well-nigh overturned the social, moral and po litical institutions of the whole coun try, the society is, of course, com posed of heterogeneous elements. But, notwithstanding the denuncia tion that has been heaped on Atlan ta, as a sink of moral pollution and a seething hot-bed of political corrup tion, it may be safely slated that the moral and social conditions of this city will compare favorably with most other cities, old or new, North or South. As to political corruption, it is to be found in every political centre, and as to the emanations of a partisan press, they themselves af ford the strongest evidence of moral obliquity, in the reckless anathemas hurled against men and places, for the accomplishment of selfish and party purposes. While Atlanta, like all other largo cities, has her share of adventurers and her quota of vice, the general tone of society and mor als is, if I mistake not, above the av erage of some other cities which loudly boast of their moral and so cial condition. “But let facts speak for themselves. Here we have a number of tho best, most refined and intellectual, as well as the most progressive and enter prising men and women to bo found in the North or in tho South. Here are congregated a largo number of learned judges, able professional men, distinguished educators, well informed and higbtoned merchants, and business men of all kinds, from all sections of the country. These have a controlling and beneficent in fluence over society in elovatiug and giving it tone. “And though there are many men of wealth here, there are but few wo men of elegant leisure, with nothing to do except to pass away time in fashionable follies and fripperies. Our people are emphatically a busi ness people, who come here to work; and therefore tho devil does not find many workshops here in the form of idle brains. Hence there is less ex travagance and dissipation than in many other places of greater preten sions. “The fact Is, so intense are the business pursuits of most men here, that they cannot find time to loaf on the corners, get drunk in the day time, and indulge in other disreputa ble acts. As to our women ("bless them), they, as a general rule, find ample occupation in tho domestic duties they have so gracefully as sumed, nod in works of charity and bonevoleuco, leaving them but little time for fashionable calls, balls, par ties, theatres, etc. The consequence of all this is, that even social inter course and neighborly visiting are not as much in vogue among our wo men as might be desired; while such a thing as social visiting between our men is almost unknown; at least among our American citizens. Social intercourse and visiting betwoen the sexes is doubtless less restricted, as our marriage lists would seem to in dicate. Social intercourse among all classes, and between both sexes, is, I think, much more free among our German fellow-citizeu3 than among our native population. Without entering into details, It may be safely said that our criminal records speak well for the moral3 of Atlanta, the frequent riots which dis grace some other'cities being un- Known, her©; while murders find other deeds of lawlessness are far less common than in many villages and even some country places. It may be observed that most of our cases of crime are among the colored population, for reasons easily ex plained. One distinguishing social feature of this city, and one to which its prosperity is largely due, is the liberal catholic spirit which prevades the community. Here industrious and enterprising men, who will at tend to their own business and co operate with our citizens in building up the city, are welcomed from every section of the country, regardless of place of birth or political sentiments. True, our citizens have no great love for mere political adventurers of the “carpetbag” class; but even these are tolerated without resort to vio lence- while ortracism for mere po litical opinions is discountenanced by the common consent of our peo ple.” And this applies to Atlanta to-day.

Intelligence by telegraph and mail, to private sources, brings no better reports than heretofore published of tho oonditiou of affairs, nut, on tho contrary, confirms the worst apprehousionsof a still further iucreuse of new cases in tho south western portion of Iho city, known as Robertsville and Curry town. The mortuary report published shows that tho number of interments for the twenty-four hours endiug at 6 o’clock p. m. Friday were 29, of which 19 wore yellow fever cases. Of tho total interments 7 were colored, of which 3 were deaths from yollow fe ver. Of the whites buried ouo was from Americus, Ga., Rev.

Kem per, in reply to an invitation to name a Virginia day at the Centennial by proclamation, has written a letter declining to do so. His chief reasons are the poverty ot the people to re spond in an appropriate manner, and that it is not customary in Vir ginia to use official proclamations for such purposes. THE TURKISH SITUATION. THE USUAL MEDDLEY OF REPORTS AND CONJECTURES. Everything Unsettled Yet. London, Oot. 9.— Austria desires that tho conference shall consist of ambassadors representing all signa tory powers. Italy and France consent. Germany’s answor is await ed. Tho Porte’s objection to a formal armistice is, that it would virtually accord to Servia belligerent rights. It is reported that ex-Sultan Murad is dying. Russian emigration to Servia oontinues at the rute of one to eight thousand per week. The military preparations of Russia continue. It is stated that Bismarck endorses An drassy’sjrefusai of a joint occupa tion, resolved upon in higher quar ters. A dispatch from Ragusa to Reu ter’s Telegraph Cos., says on Satur day night tho Montenegrins, having received a ro-inforeement of 2,500 men, attacked Maakhaton Pasha and compelled him to retreat, it is sta todthat 850 Turks were killed, while the Montenegrin loss in killod and wounded was but 115. Tho opposing farce sare now confronting each other on a line extending eight miles. A despatch from Deligrado to the Daily News says General Tchernayeff has demanded that all Servians be tween the ages of of 18 and 50 years be called out in anticipation of a re newal of hostilities in tho spring. A Reuter dispatch from Paris says, acoording to positive information re ceived there, no Power has up to the present formally proposed a confer ence. Note.—Though there is generally a mere hopeful feeliug, everything is at present in suspense, and tho news papers aro filled with nothing but vague, contradictory surmisespend ing the Porto’s definite answer to tho proposal of the Powers, which is anxiously awaited. Bucharest, Oct. 9.—The Prince of Roumania lias ordered both the standing army and reserves to assem ble for manoeuvers. THE CONFERENCE POJECT ABANDONED. London, Oct. B.—A Reuter Vienna dispatch states that in diplomatic circles the idea of a European confer ence may be considered abandoned. It is truo that Russia had officially accepted throughout the proposal of a conference, but she did not expect success therefrom, as it would have been incumbent upon her to advo cate in conference proposals perhaps even more extrome than those which she has already made, and which have been rejected by Europe. The latest idea is that tho ambas sador should draw up and superin tend the execution of a programme of reforms on tho basis of tho Berlin memorandum. A Reuter dispatch from Belgrade says the strugglo between the peace party under tho Foreign Minister, ltostics, and tho Russian military party, is becoming more pronounced. So far Restics appears to gain the ascendancy. An envoy has been sent to Gen. Tchernaeff to request him to discontinue the use of the royal title in addressing Prince Milan. The Eastern Budged says Russia is preparing for all contingencies. Ar rangements have been made with the Black Sea Navigation Company to remove the Russian colony in Con stantinople to Odessa in case of danger. Treasury Derision on MiKar Eases. Washington, Oct. 9.— Tho Treasury Department hus received and consid ered sundry appeals from decisions of the Collector of Customs at Boston assessing a duty on sugar imported at that point subsequent to the pro mulgating the treaty between the United States and Hawaiian Islands providing for free of duty certain ar ticles, including sugar. The impor tations to which the appeals refer are from tho Dominican republic and Porto Rico, and the claim for free entry is undor treaty stipulations that no other or higher duties should be imposed than on like articles from any other foreign country. The claim of the applicants was re jected on the ground that importa tions from tho Hawaiian Islands are based upon reciprocal privileges of like character with reference to cer tain products of the United States.

London, Oct, 9.— ln connection with conflicting reports relative to the Captain Gonoralshlp of Cuba, a cor respondent of the Standard at Mad rid, October 3d, explains that Gon. Martinez Campos was summoned to Madrid on the 2d of October In con sequence of tho receipt by the Gov ernment of news of tho recent cap ture ofLos Tunas by Cuban insur gents Gen. Campos conferred with the War Minister and Senor Conovas, Del Gastello, Prime Minister, and Stated terms on which ho alone was willing to assume the Captain Gen eralship. These terms included the draft of 15,000 men from the Spanish army to be shipped before Novem ber, In addition to 25,000 already un dor orders. He also demanded more artillery, and dwelt on the necessity of a rigorous and effective blockade to be enforced by martial law. He further demanded full and entire power to deal with all questions of roform and taxation, without appeal. A Cabinet Council, to which these terms were submitted, raised several objections, because of tho heavy ex pense. Tho moderate party particu larly do not approve of Gon. Marti nez Cumpos leaving Spain, because they desiro him to becomo Premier in place of Cos novas del Castello. This cause, and tho Intrigues of Gen. ■Tovellar’s friends, aro tho principal obstacles which still prevent Gen. Martinez Campos’ appointment. The partisans of Conovas Del Cus tello are particularly anxious to send Geu. Campos to Cuba. A Reuter dispatch from Madrid, dated yesterday, says the rumor of Gen. Jovellars’ resignation of Cap tain Generalship of Cuba, is contra dicted. A Barcelona correspondent of the Times writes, Oet. sth : Troops for Cuba are embarking in small bodies. Theydo not volunteer as before, bu are in many oases chosen by lot. The reactionary moderate party aro gain ing strength daily and are forming committees in every province. Sev en Sagosta and Marshal Serano are in close conference and will not ac cept the new constitution, which is supported by Conovas del Cas tello and his party. The same correspondent, writing Oct. 3, says: though Gen. Martinez Campos’ appointment as Capt-Gen. of Cuba was then thought more praboble, yet there was much talk of his taking the reins of the government if Conovas del Casteilo was unable to hold his ground. HP AIN AND THE UNITED STATES. SPAIN HAS SURRENDERED TWEED IN CON SIDERATION OF NON-INTERVENTION BY THE UNITED STATES IN CUBA. New York, Oct. B.— A Herald spe cial from Madrid says the cordial Diplomatic relations now existing between the United States and Spain have for some days been the subject of considerable discussion in the newspapers of this city. The politi cians claim to find in the magnanim ity shown to the United States by Spain in the delivery of Wm. M. Tweed, a complete estoppel to any further throats of Cuban interven tion. They now consent to shelve that bugaboo, which has long proved a fruitful theme. on which to berate Americans. Such is the coup which Spain Is believed herself to have made. Tweed’s surrender is a popu lar theme for conversation in the cafes, dividing tho honors with the Protestant question and tho in trigues ofe x-Queen Isabella. Public opinion asserts that as the two governments are agreed upon the question of Tweed’s quiet, they aro of on’mind one all other ques tions. The subject has been entirely re-opened to-night by tho following official statements printed in this evening’s issue of La Corresponden cia : “A contotnporary journal wonders whether there exists true reciprocity of services between Spain aud the United States, apropos of Wm. M. Tweed’s surrender and extradition, since no treaties are in existence as a guide for tho conduct of our Govern ment in such cases. We are able to assure our colleague (continues La Correspondencia) that the crime of which Tweed is accused unites such special conditions, and the attitudo of tho United States toward Spain is at present so deferent, so cordial and so decidedly in tho interest of Spain, that under a recurrence of similar cir cumstances the Spanish government would not hesitate to act as in tho case under consideration.” If the Spanish authorities have used the delivery of Tweed as a means of uniting tho long existing apprehension regarding the Cuban question, without any real basis upon which to placo such an explanation, tho discovery of the deception will only tend to make the popular feel ing more bitter tban before. United (states Supreme Court. Washington, Oct. 9.— Tho Supreme Court met, but adjourned without business. To-morrow the call of the docket will commence, which now stands at 770 cases, being an increase of over 100 since last year, owing to cases standing over.

Harrison, the almost mur derer of Miss Mary More, of Boouo county, Ky., was tried at Burlington day before yesterday on a writ of de lunalico inquirendo, and a verdict of lunacy was rendered, and the newly adjudged lunatic ordered to the Lex ington Asylum. Ho goes on at a great rate in jail, mourning for the injury of Mary More and praying on his knees for her recovery. He knew nothing, or professed to know nothing, of the attack upon the near ly murdered lady until told about it in jail, and then ho expressed great grief over It. The report that he drank is contra dieted emphatically by some of his connections, and stories reach us of strange performances on his part an tecedent to the deadly assault—such as lyiug down on a railway track to commit suicide, mourniDg all night ut the grave of his wife, c. Mr. Kennedy, of Covington, Miss More’s brother-in-law, returned from her father’s house yesterday, and re ports the prospects of herjrecovery as improving, though she is yet in such a critical condition as to forbid her moving, and her nurses have conse quently been unable yet to change her clothing. It is said that there has teen insan ity in the Harrison family on the mother’s side.— Cincinnati Enq. 7 i rust. Colorado Election.
