HON. GEORGE R. BLACK'S LETTER.
On our first page to-day will be
found a wringing letter from Hon.
Ge«rge R. Black, to which we call
the attention of our readers. Col.
Black has already proven himself to
be an able and an honest Representa
tive, »nd while an officer is doing his
duty faithfully and well we can see
do reason for a change. True, Col.
Black was stricken down with paral
ysis near the middle of the last session
of Congress, but thanks to a kiud
Prevalence, his complete reco'ery is
assured; and there is to-day no more
probability that he will 1 e attacked
again than that anyone else who may
he chosen in his place wi I not he at
tacked by that or some other terrible
disease during the next session of
Congress. Who has assured them ?
Col. BlackV letter shows that his
mind is not affected, and with his
physical powers restored to vigorous
health, there remains not the shadow
of an excuse for his removal; but,
on the contrary, his return to Con^
gtess is an act of simple justice both
to himself and his constuouts.
they are satisfied to be swindled by the
‘bosses” in this manner ? If not, come,
up to the mass meeting on the 2d of
September prepare to vote down “reso-
lutions” which it is quite likely are al
ready drawn, and which if you do not
resist like men will be shoved down
your throat nolens volens.

THE HERALD ON ROTATION.
In the last issue of the Herald is an
article which is evidently an attempt
by the young editor to reply to The
Citizen’s article of last week. In its
article the Herald, with its usual lack
of manliness, dees not make an open at
tack, but, as it were, hides among the
weeds, and attempts a game of “bush
whacking, evidently to avoid the force
of a reply. Further, the Herald with
its usual talent garbles and perverts
b th the words and sentiments of The
( itizen, and so often has this been the
e.ise that we have come to doubt whether
the editor of the Herald cau understand
wha he reads or whether he has dealt
so long in au atmosphere of misrepre
sentation that it is impossible for him to
deal fairly by an opponent. What we
said last week in opposition to rotation
is sound doctrine, and cannot be an
swered by sophistry. So far as your
misrepresentations of the positions of
The Cit zbn, let us say that the com
parison is weekly being made between
the two for outspoken, fair-d ealing,
and that The Citizmn is not suffering
by that comparison in the opiniou of hen
est, fair-mided men. This is all the
reply we have to make to this kind of
article from the Herald.
Now, a word to the people of Burke
county, by which we propose to show
them how beau’ifully fair they have
been treated by the “bosses” in this
boasted rotation system. To start on,
Burke county contains hundreds more
inhabitants and hundreds of thousands
more value in property than both Bul
loch and Soriven together, and yet
you have had a representative in
the Senate two years in twelve. This
fact cannot be disputed. Let us show
the figures :
Hon. Peter Cone, Bulloch, 4 years.
Hon. G. R. Black, Soriven, 4 years.
Hon. II. II. Perry, Burke, 2 years.
lion. J. F. Brown, Bulloch,2 years.
This g ves Soriven 4 year-, Bulloch
G years, and Burke 2 years. Burke
has, therefore, had 2 years in 12, and if
Soriven is accorded the present term, it
will give Burke 2 years in 14. Now,
we ask the people of Rufke county if
The next Legislature will be called
upon t.o elect a judge for this circuit,
and a too close a scru’iny of all who of
fer themselves as candidates for this im
portant office cannot be had. It is well
knowu that we favored Judge Snead as
his own successor, and had he not with
drawn his name we should have given
him an earnest support. But as Judge
Snead absolutely decliqes re-election,
we suggest the name of Col. M. P. Car-
roll, of Augusta, fur this above all to
the public most important place. Col.
Carroll has a highly cultivated mind, is
a profound lawyer, a courteous gentle
man, and has a clear and discriminating
judgment. His private life has been
that of a pure man and a good citizen,
and not a blot either in his private or
public career stains bis record. He
is endorsed by nearly the entire Au
gusta Bar, which endorsement would
not be given to an unworthy man, and
his whole life confirms the opinion that
the lives, liberty and property of all the
people would be safe in bis hands.—
What more is needed—or is such a man
as this to be rejected for one whose lack
of legal knowledge and ability, or what
is just i s equal in effect, dishonesty,
would work great wrong to those whose
rights were at stake 1
There is one other point which we
must be allowed to mention. Augusta
is by far the most important city in the
whole circuit, and needs the presence of
the judge much oftener than'any other
place; besides this,it is nearly central
in the circuit and easy of access to those
who need bis services. Should the
judge reside in any extreme limit of
the circuit it would require great ex
pense and trouble, to say nothing of dan -
gerous delay, to reaoh him. Therefore,
other things being equal, the judge
ought to reside in Augusta.
NAILED TO THE COUNTER.
For several days past we have seen
what purported^ be an interview with
Gen. Toombs by a reporter for the At
lanta Herald, in which interview Gen.
Toombs is represented as pronouncing
Mr. Stephens as totally unfit for the
office of governor of Georgia, and that
Mr. Stephens was in his doatage. That
Gen. Gart.ell was a better Democrat
than Mr. Stephens, and that he (Toombs)
would not support him, and that the
people of Wilkes county, some of them
would support Gartrell and others
would do as he was going to do—that is,
n:t vote at all.
The language put into Gen. Toombs’
mouth is extremely harsh, and we must
say we did not believe it because both
the language and the position towards
Mr. Stephens was unnatural for Gen.
Toombs to take. But now comes Gen.
Toombs in person and through the At
lanta Constitution nails the falsehood
to the counter. The Constitution says :
Gen. Toombs is in the city. He de
nies that he has hud any interview with
anybody concerning ihe State campaign.
He says he is out uf politics, and ihut
whatever he chooses ;o say in relation
to pending issues in Georgia, he will
say over his own signature.
OH, MY EYES!
If you have Sore Eyes go to Hol-
leyinan’s Drug Store and buy a box
of Pettits Eye Salve. It is the best
remedy for Sore Eyes we have ever
used. We speak from personal ex
perience, and take pleasure in recom
mending it to our friends. Remem
ber you can get it only at Holley-
rnan’s Drug Store.

Waynesboro, Ga., Aur. 15, 1882.— Mr. W. F
HbUeyman : I take i?reat pleasure in stating that
that the box of Pettits Bye Salve was all you
represented It to be. I used only one box, and
it cured the eyes of both of children by only
a few applications.

and when the Legislature meets it
should scan with care and weigh with
jealousy the claims of the aspirants for
that high office. The voice of Hill is
silent foiever ; his eminently legal acu
men and broad thought will be missed
it the most select of Georgians should
he choseu ; but there is one man whose
experience in the halls of Congress, at
the Bar and on the Bench, coupled with
a highly cultivated mind, will come
nearer filling the mea-ure of the hopes
of Georgia taan any other the writer
can think of. the Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court, James Jackson is the
mac.
Judge Jackson belongs to a race of
men which has for a century honored
their State. In civil life, pre-eminently
strong and useful, wise in council, pure
in action and faithful to trust reposed
in them. Judge Jackson has all the
qualities necessary to make a first-
class Senator, and although the judi
ciary will loose its ablest representative,
yet Georgia will gain a useful Senator,
and the country an able statesman if the
General Assembly will select him to
represent the State in the United
States Senate. Richmond.
