HARDEMAN, OF BIBB. 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 JUDEGSHIP. W. F. O L L E Y M V 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!

Thompson. 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.
