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.

per, in reply to an invitation to name

proclamation, has written a letter
declining to do so. His chief reasons
are the poverty ot the people to re

and that it is not customary in Vir

such purposes.

todthat 850 Turks were killed, while
the Montenegrin loss in killod and

A Reuter dispatch from Paris says,
acoording to positive information re

Note.—Though there is generally a
mere hopeful feeliug, everything is

anxiously awaited.
Bucharest, Oct. 9.—The Prince of
Roumania lias ordered both the

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.

SPAIN.
YVHY CAMPON* APPOINTMENT IIA NUN
Faction* mill Intrigues In Spain.
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.

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.

Ttie llnrrluon-More Case -Wm. Henry a
Lunatic.
\V. H. 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.
