In the light of the JRenfioe «.se, it
seems that'Goldsmith’s greatest crime
was the paying tae& of the State’s mon
ey into the Treasury.
The GovernorLaa 1 signed tlie Bill re-
festricting interest to 8 percent. We
think this Taw is oppressive to capital
and wiil reflect c n borrowers by making
it difficult to.effect 'o.-ins.

Al novel phase of the Libor qnestion
has just been developed in the South
Carolina cotton fields; The colored
people in ope section, held an excited
meeting, extending through Saturday

Advices, from the. British camp before
Cabul, under date of Oufobei\8tli, state
that Baker’s brigade was engaging the
enemy oh the Lifts southwest of the
Ta.tpwn.Tand that an obstinate struggle,
was expected on the 10th. A Simla
dispatch, dated Saturday, states that

Jellalabad by Monday, and !hafr all the
difficulties of transportation ; have been
overcome, and troops of all . arms are
moving forward from all- the columns

The Capitol Qac stloa
We fought Atlanta to the best of our
ability, but she won; and wo think the
people by’ a large majority have select
ed it asthe seat of. government. We .ue
not in favor of renewing the issue, es
pecially ns .between Atlanta and Mil-
ledgeville. That is forever settled. If,
- - however, the people should at some fu
ture day desiie to move the capital,
we via go into the fight squor ly in
- -*7 "^ror of Macon. Macon is decidedly thi>
place for it. But let. the matter rVs r
for the present,-above all don’t waste
any money in building or removing the
capitol for a few years.
Petticoats in Formes.—The New
York society of women known as “The
Scrosis,” whose chief amusement here
tofore has been to dine at Delmomco’s
and dabble in literature, has taken a
new departure. At the meeting on
Tuesday it was proposed that “The So-
rosis” should tahepaitin politics, and
the membeis were invited to asscirible
Friday “!o take measures to defeat
Governor Robinson, on the gi-cnnd
that he vetoed a kill allowing women to
become members of school boards'.”
It was announced that Mr. TLnrber
had placed printing presses and money
at the disposal of Miss Thomas, the
leader of. the new movement; that cir [
oulars were preparing which a hundred '
women had been'engaged to distribute
through lie state, and that Air. Coimeli,
and Mr. Kelly were warmly in favor of i
women taking part in the campaign 1
JM i. ..
We. embarked on the Central Bail-
road bh ■"Wbdhfroday evening ’of last
week "for Savannah to attend the Gen-
lennial Gelebration of the attempt to
capture that city by. the French and
American forcea.,oa the 9th of October,
177S, and ilia death of tlie renowned
Sargeaht William Jasper.
At Macon we found an immense mul
titude of people bound for the Forest
City, and several tong trains filled to
their utmost capacity, were sent out by
the Geiit-alA Macon & Brunswick roads.
It is easier to imagine than describe the
tedious all night trip from- Mneon to
Savannah in the crowded trains, and the
discomfort undergone. However, we
at last reached eur destination,and with
the ladies of onr party camped at the
Marshall House and such other places
as were accessible. Here we must re
turn thanks to Capt S. B. Weston, of
>t lie Albany News, for his kindness in
securing a room for the ladies, to Mr.
Charles A Williams of the Central Geor
gia Weekly, for ad milting ns to the lar- 1
ger third of his bed; and lastly, but not
leasfly to Mr. J. H Estill, President of the
GeorgiaPress Association and proprietor
of the Savannah Morning Neies, for
much appreciated lunch and other fa
vors.
At nine o’clock the-Press Association
met, but we could not geit breakfast and!
shave in time for the meeting. At ten
o’clock the procession formed on South
Broad Street. It consisted of various
societies, and over forty companies of
cavalry, infantry aDd artillery, distin
guished men in carriages, and citizens,
comprising about 1500 volunteer mili
tia of this and adjoining States. The
procession marched through the princi
pal streets, and stopped at Madison
Square where the foundation of the
Jasper monument had been laid, where
a large stand was erected for the cere
monies. Tlie square and streets lead
ing to it was filled- with thousands of
people.
Here Gen. Jno. B. Gordon was ap
propriately introduced when he deliv
ered, perhaps the grandest oration of
his life. It was such a speech as Gor
don alone can make, and we regret our
usability to give space for it in full.
The layiug of the corner stone was done
well and truly previous to the address,
and when Gen. Gordon had concluded,
and the applause died away, the pro
cession and spectators repaired to the
park, where a grand military parade
f oot place, and a salute of 13 guns in
honor of the occasion was fired by the
Charleston Light Artillery. Most nota
ble in the procession being, the guard of
honor oi the day, was the German Fusi-
• leers of Charleston, an organization
' whose founders took an active part in
the events of the seige and assault on
ilio British forces which was being cele
brated. There was also a company of
! the 13th U. S Infantry and the celebra
ted band of that regiment which occu
pied the head of the procession.
The number of people at the park was
uot less than thirty thousand, and they
covered not less than a hundred acres
of ground. .
We did not go to the Isle of Hope on
Friday to witness the rifle shooting and
regata, but excurted with the press and
visitors to Tybee If land on the steamer
City of Bridgeton. We got' a view of
the gland old ocean, and reached the
city tire^ and hungry only to find the
market ' exhausted and the restaurants
with nothing to eat.
Thursday night we went to see and
hear the celebrated opera, “H. M. S.
Pinafore,” which was well performed at
Masonic Hall by the Mendelshonn Musi
cal club, of Savannah. On the same
night wo .witnessed a considerable.fire
not down In the bills,—also a fine illu
mination, and the renowned electric
light.
On Thursday evening we had quite a
rain and wind storm just after we hstd
disembarked from the steamboat. .
Our space will not permit us to give
an account of our trip homo, or the
many nfid vexation incidents and acci
dents.
The Jasper centennial will be long re
membered by all who attended as one-
off the most notable occasions in. the
history of Georgia. *

Jibe legislature adjourned .. either last
night or to-day. The session' Las been
of almost unprecedented length, haying
lasted, altogether about one bundled
and’ thirty' days, and. the tdtal cost there
of being over two hundred thou-and
dollars. By fur the greater part of this
time has been wasted in useless discus
sions, and reconsiderations.
The legislature has done much that is
good, much that is bud and, more t hat
is indifferent. For the good it deserves
praise, for the bad criticism, and for the
indifferent a quiet passing by. W« do
not thing the body has displayed any
great statesmanship. Some of the mem.
tiers have made creditable records on
the whole, while doing some things
that the people cannot unqualifiedly
approve. The great fault seemed to
have been a disposition to talk too much,
and to too little .purpose,—a desire to
show off, and a disregard-fos economy in
the legislative department, 'while most
of the others should be stinted.
The state at large will hail the adjourn
ment with pleasure, and it’is t®; be hop
ed that we may have at least a constitu
tional rest of two years before the nest
session.
When thenext session does meet we
hope to see the proper committess it
once investigate thoroughly every de-
partmert of the government, and not
wait until the press and people leave no
other alternative,
Lateb.—The above was written in an
ticipation of the solemn event noted.
As yet the wires hare not informed us of
it, but will in a day or two. - Anyhow,
if it ever does occur, the remarks will
apply. The doings of t)he Georgia Leg
islature are ten times more uncertain
than tie verdict- of a petit jury..
THE SEVENTEEN SENATORS,
A short time ago the press and peo
ple with one accord wtre denouncing a
petit jury in a neighboring, -county for
the acquittal of a man who had commit
ted a most brutal and inexcusable inur-
deri This condemnation was merited,
but these jurors had been selected by
shrewd counsel, and in the case there
had been some testimony in favor of the
accused, although few, if-any, believed
in its truth. What shpll be said of the
seventeen wise Senators of Georgia,
whose votes seenred the acquittal of
Renfro, the reealeitrant state Treasurer,
who was proven guilty, acknowledged
the deed, and who yet has, with his se
curities, the State’s money in hispoeket.
But let us not be severe,—perhaps. Eke
Renfroe, they maybe also excused on
the plea of ignorance of law. But it is
sad to think of such a benighted condi
tion in onr" highest legislative depart
ment.
