Saturday. Octoder6 1877. FROM OIIR “G.iTE CITY” COR RESPONDENT. Atlanta, Ga„ Octobers, 1877. Editor Calhoun Times : A month or six weeks ago I was full of goad resolutions in regard to my duties ns your Capital correspondent; but from some cause unknown I have of late days grown I fear again too careless. While a great many things occur daily in our city interesting to a resident, it is no easy matter to write a letter even from this gay metropolis of to a variety of country and village readers. Tho biggest thing thati has trans pired here for a long time was the re -’option of the Presidential party some ten days ago. It seemed that every street and alley as well as neighboring own and country contributed a full quota of spectators on that memorable day. The President and party reached he city about eight o’clock in the loruing, and took rooms at the Mark* .am llouso. At ten o’clock they were iven through the city in open carri es, Hayes and Ben Hill occupying a seat together in front of the procession. It ooked as thongh “the lion and lamb ho<l bain down together.” After dri ving through our principal streets the procession stopped in front of the Mui .ham where a platform had been erected, and made speeches, which were decidedly conservative, particular,-’ ly the speech of Mr. Hayes. He eer ily gave the negroes some sound ad vieo. Told them .they were better off ir. the Lands of their white friends than under governmental or any other pro veoti(|is. A banquet was spread at one o’dkfl* ia the afternoon, the visit tor i' mating with a reception at the Gov rnor’s Mansion in the evening, Taken iW grthSr, T think onr citizens were v ry much pleased with Mr. Hayes and his companions. I would like to write more of their visit to our city did time and space permit. Gov. Wade Hamp 4oui, of South Ca r olina, spent the day preceding the arrival of the Piesiden tiul party in our city. lie made a speech to an immense audience at night in the Capitol, after which ho had a general hand-shaking with our citizens and his old comrades in [arms. Gov. Hampton is a pure statesman, a brave soldier and true patriot, but he is not a good speaker. He is small in stature with a fine head and sharp eye. The welcome given him was more hearty than that extended to Hayes. The approaching State Fair is the main topic among all classes of our peo ple at this time. Grand preparations are being made both in the city and out at the grounds. The buildings are being pushed up, the fencing and am pitheatre whitewashed, and everything is undergoing “reconstruction.” Tho racetrack has been greatly improved ind lengthened about one hundred yards. Privileges of every kind have been let out and everything points to the greatest fair ever held iu Georgia. Larger stocks of goods have been pur chased by our merchants in view of the fair trade, than ever before. Our ml itary companies are drilling regularly, as they expect to compete for the vari ous prizes offered in that department ; horses are in training for the races, and indeed everything and everybody arc brightening up for this grand exhibi tion. The street car track h rt s been extended to within a hundred yards of the gates so as to carry visitors from tho eity to the park for a small fare. The hotels are scrubbing up while scores of private residences are being temporari ly transformed into private boarding houses for the accommodation of our visitors The fall tr'de is opening up finely, icncc .ong faces are no longer to bq vn among our enterprising merchants, while a bale of new **cotton is not by any means a rare sight on our streets. I am sorry to see that some of your people 6ecw iuclined to vote for tbe re moval of our Capital back to Mill.- edgeville. With all the facts so plain'* ly set forth hi regard to the matter by the Daily Constitution before them I can’t sec-how any sane mao in Gordon county cab voto for “removal.” At lanta proposes to bu’ld a Capitol and present it to the State of Georgia, she is the great heart of the State, acoessia ble by rail with all sections, our great commercial centre, and therefore should be the Capital of the Empire State of the South. If I lived in tho “state of Dade” I would be proud of Atlanta, and I think every trac citizen of our State should be proud of our live, go ahead Phoenix like city. When the vote of old Gordon county is counted 1 hope she will be found at the front in support of Atlanta, her neighbor and friend. As our city is full of young meu ‘ looking for situation!,” you will please allow me to say to those young men who are readers of your paper that if they have even a half showing on the farm they had better stay there. Life in a city is surely much harder thao the easy going existence of an indepen dent farmer. A young man here barer, ly makes a support .n the majority of instances, and has to work night and day for unmerciful employers. So I say, “young farmer stay iht home.” “Be it ever so humble, there’s no place like hoofie.” Medic us. - Facts as to the Capital anl the Capitol. We have been discussing the pecuni" ary disadvantages of removing the seat of government from Atlanta to Mill, edgeville, as applied to the State and as applied to her citizens. The sug gestions already made will enable the intelligent reader to analyze and com prehend the whole subject. Permit us to make one other suggestion, how* ever. There are about twenty millions of dollars worth of taxable property in Fulton county. The difference be tween the value of that property aps predated by fixing the Capital here, and the value of that property depreci ated by removal (le&s the increase in the value of property of Baldwin coun ty, caus r d by removal), will necessarily be a dead loss to the State, for State, municipal and county taxation. This may be also applied to the surrounding counties. And in discussing this question as applicable to individuals, the healthful ness of the locations is an important consideration. Atlanta is known to be healthy. She has pure water and a bracing atmosphere. Milledgeville is unhealthy, has bad water, and her at mosphere is damp in winter and de pressing in summer. The writer heard Gen. Toombs’ remark that Milledgevi lie had always been the most unhealthy locality on the Oconee river. But we leave those matters. The ques ion has been asked, “How is it that Atlanta is so anxious to keep the Capital within her limits?” Bee cause she deems it advantageous to her character and trade. She has always acted up to the idea that it pays to draw trade and add to her reputation. She contributed money to the State Agricultural Society before and since the war, and kept up her fair ground with that view. Her contribution of $5,000 to the Atlanta Medical College, of the old fair ground, to Oglethorpe University, of SBOO,OOO to the Air Line railroad, and of $300,000 to the Georgia Western railroad, were aV made foi the same reason. Influenced* by nothing else, she took a large amount of stock in our gas works, exempted them from taxation and gave them certain exclusive rights, and issued $300,000 of bonds to furnish water ample for household and for steam purposes. ’Twas that which caused her to exempt the street railroads for tax ation, to expend $70,000 in laying out Broad street and innumerable small er sums on smaller streets. So influ enced, she soon presented the United States with land costing her $70,000, on which to put the public buildings of the Federal government. So moved and urged by the higher motive of rear ing a virtuous and intelligent popula* tion, she contributed SIOO,OOO to build school-houses, and annually pays from $30,000 to $40,000 to educate the four thousand children in her corporate lim its. Her offer to induce the location of the Capital here was but in keeping with her habitual conduct. We are not arguing whether her pol icy in this regard was wise. We only mention it to show that her offer for the Capital had nothing of wrong, as has sometimes, and in some quarters, been intimated. She doubtless made some mistakes ; but her steady growth was in a great measure attributable to her liberality before and since the war, and she is on the whole satisfied. The State cannot complain, since this county now pays SIOO,OOO annually into the public treasury as taxes, and will continue to increase it if dealt with kindly. And Atlanta’s ciedit is the be t of any city in the State, her tax is as small, if not smaller, than any other considerable city of our State, and our county tax .(of which the city pays most) is only about twenty-eight cents on the dollar, though wo have been making large pub lic improvements. To those who may think the policy unwise, we remark that several years ago we had anew charter iorbidding further debts, and providing lor paying our present indebtedness. And no ef fort has boeD made to loosen these re strictions, voluntarily taken upon our selves, except that we had the conven tion to put into the Constitution a clause allowing us (or any other city) to offer property to the State for location of the Capital. We have said this much, when we might have answered the question when put by the friend of Milledge ville, by asking; “Why does Miiledge ville, want the Capital moved ?” It is an advantage to either place to have it; its possession would add honor to eith er place And just as the greatest and noblest Georgian might aspiie to be the Governor of bis State, so any city in our borders may aspire to the dignity of being the Capital of our grand old commonwealth. But Atlanta has another reason for wishing to keep the seat of government which cannot operate on Mi’ledgeviile. The removal from Miliedgeville was not for any fault in her, not for even an alleged fault. Should she never again be the seat of government her character will not thereby suffer. Not so with Atlanta. Those who are adverse to her are not content to have this question decided by considerations of public policy, by a fair comparison of the advantages and merits of tbe two contestants, but denounce our citizens as “aliens,” “foreigners,” “conspirators” and corruptionists.” A people who resisted the invader as we did, side by side with oat fellow- Georgians, and, when called upon to flee with our families and abandon our household gods and our homes to the torch of the enemy, did so unflinching ly, not murmuring that our sufferings in the common cause were severer than theirs, cannot calmly submit to such un kind* imputations. Such injastioe arouses us to action. It forces us to the unpleasant duty of sounding; our own praises and begging our fellow citizens to rebuke such wrong by an overwhelming ballot in our favor.—At lanta Constitution. s■! guUTrtiSfmrut.s.
