THIS PAPF.B IS BEAD EYEST WEEK BY
OSB THOUSAND FAMILIES
EK THE BEST SECTION OF GFOBGIA.
«T=
tliURSDAY EVENING,SEPTEMBER 25
Cetewayo, what a pity, couldn’t get
away-fob!)
Now is Hon. Peterson Thweat’s time
to persecute our legislators.
Tee Zulu king is captured and that
country js nndor England’s feet.
The deaths from yellow fever in Mem
phis this year foot np about 375 to date,
The greatest trouble with the Comp
troller-General and Treasurer in their
difficulties was that they couldn’t be
resigned.
We have another large batch of new
advertisements of which we are forced
to defer special mention until next
week.
It is now thought that the legislature
will adjourn by the first of November.
The present adjourned term has lasted
Fevout.v-three days up to date, which in
eluding the last session makes 115 days.
Wanted—at Atlanta, a Comptroller
General, Treasurer, Keeper of the Peni
tentiary and Commissioner of Agricul
ture. Only honest men need apply.
The prompt manner in which the
press has denounced, and the vigorous,
though tardy, action of the legislature
in regard to the corrupt practices of the
Stale officials, will greatly strengthen
the Democratic party iu Georgia.
State Treasurer Ben froehasbeen im
peached by the House for converting to
his own use the interest on money of the
State deposited in certain banks. The
Hen ate will proceed with the trial at an
early day.
The question now is, “Can the Leg
islature make Treasurer Reufroe’s secu
rities who divided the snoils, and the
will laud transferees who were the real
swindlers, disgorge?
It is respectfully and reverently sug
gested that as soon os the State efficc rs
who succeed those removed or impeached
go into the capitol, the Governor s'art a
revival and Sunday school amoug them,
and keep a sharp watch while he prays
and teaches.
J. C. Hannon & Co.—This new dry
goods house, at the old stand of Morn's
& Ware, Second street, Macon, is tne
that steps foith into public favor. Mr.
Banuon lias been for many yeais head
clerk in Wuxetbaum's retail department,
and is not only thoroughly posted iu
the business, but is a gentleman of the
most pleasing address, and universally
popular. With exquisite taste Mr. B.
has selected a most beautiful stock of
goods, and his display of dress goods
especially, he is confiden t cannot be ex
celled, if equalled, iu quality and low
prices. Mr. B. is a son-in-Liw of that
esteemed citizen and President of the
Southern Railway and Steamship Asso
ciation, Mr. Yirgil Powers. See the
card of this firm in another column.
THU GOVERNOR AND THE COR
RUPT crnciALs,
There seems to be a disposition in

Editor Home Journal-
We have had rain enough and to spare,,
and the :louds look this morning like
we would have a continuation of the
same. It knocked our open air m eting
„ into the church, where it is still pro-
havo long believed m the Governor’s gressicg with good
high Christian character and peisonal
purity, and we cannot believe without
positive evidence, that he has been io
any manner criminally connected ‘ with
the* transactions which we have so'freely
denounced as being disgraceful to the
State and deserving of prompt and im
partial punishment. We ? lliink, howev
er, that the Governor has been strange
ly remiss in his duties as custodian of
the honor and interests of the common
wealth. It is more than passing strange
that he should not long ago have dis
covered the guilt of Goldsmith and Ben-
froe, and himself instituted measures
not only to correct abuses, but to punish
them, especially as it is his duty, impos
ed by express statute, to join the Treas
urer-in making arrangements with good
banks for depositing the treasure for the
best interests ot the State, and not for
the private gain of the Treasurer and
his confederates. There is little doubt
that the recent investigations at Atlanta
have been largely imbued with a spirit
of hostility towards Governor Colquitt’s
whole administration, and no means left
unturned to discover something that
would reflect directly npon him, yet he
has passed the ordeal, and yet nothing
to his dishonor has been developed. It
is only a matter of regret io his friends
that he himself should not have been
the moving spirit in the accomplishment
of a much needed civil'service reform.
To a certain extent he must bear the re
sponsibility and he cannot shirk it.
HO, FOR THE FAIR!

THE STATE HOUSE FRAUDS
Things look even worse in Atlanta
than we could imagine. Goldsmith and
Benfroe attempted to resign. Murphv,
Benfroe’s clerk, who secured the Gov
ernors endorsement on the bonds of
the Northeastern Railroad. has resigned,
aDd now Nelms and Dr. Janes have ten-)
dered their resignations. This is very
ugly. Do they confess their guilt? Ii'
these officers have proven unfaithful we
hope a resignation will not prevent
their full exposure and punishment.—
Dr. Janes has made a splendid officer in
many respects, but if his accounts are
not full and correct, he mnst go, We
cancomme.d officials wherein they de
serve praise, but we have no sympathy
with fraud. Dr. Janes says he can pro
duce the vouchers for every cent receiv
ed and paid out by him, and we hope
or the credit of the much injured State,
and of himself that he will do so,—but
bad he not best fight it out on that line,
and does not a resignation amount <to a
confession?
In Memorials.
Died, on Tuesday, Ang. 26, 1879,
Fannie Corinne, daughter of J. M. and
M. J. Gray* at the age of 9 years, 11
mos. and 19 days.
Little Cora was tne delight of her pa
rents and relatives, being ever willing
and ready to obey them; a favorite with
her playmates, to whom she was ever
kind and affectionate. Her illness was
of short duration; only Thursday before
her death she was a bright and cheers
ful little girl; but the grim destroyer, in
the shape of bilious fever came, and
quickly did he do his work.
Though it is but natural for her pa
rents to grieve at her departure, let them
not do so, as those who have no hope.
In that blissful home in glory,
Where there's balm for the w< uncled heart,
They may meet their little darling,
N. ver more from her to part.
