The latest telegraphic report of the con
dition of the cotton crop in the districts of
Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi,
Florida, Georgia, Tennessee and Texas
shows some changes since the last report,
as affecting the yield, wet weather, storms,
and the caterpillar doing considerable dam
age in some portions. In all of the States
one or other of these disturbing causes have
operated to the in j ury of the crop prospect,
and materially lessened the anticipated
yield.
The predominance of the National over
the Provincial party in Buenos Ayres has
been completed. On the 21st of August
the National troops entered the Provincial
Chambers and expelled the Provincial
Deputies at the point of the bayonet, posted
sentinels at the doors and closed the Legisla
ture by orders of the National Government.
The people seem quiescent, and although
the Deputies adjourned to the Municipal
Hall and issued a manifesto, It failed to
elicit any manifestations of popular feeling.

Third Assistant Postmaster General Ilazen
has issued an order, the effect of which will
exclude from the mails all registered letters
and money orders addressed to several
firms, agents for lotteries at Louisville and
Covington, Ky., known as the “Kentucky-
State Lottery 77 and the “Commonwealth
Distribution Company.” The order is based
upon a decision of the Supreme Court of the
United States, in the case of John B. Stone,
et al., vs. the State of Mississippi, in which it
was declared that the cqntracts which the
Federal Constitution protects are those
which relate to property rights and not to
governmental rights, under which latter
class lotteries belong, and inasmuch
as the Attorncj- General of the State of
Kentucky, in answer to an inquiry as to the
legality of the charters of the companies
named, states that they are not so chartered,
the order issues debarring them as “Fraudu
lent” institutions from the privileges of the
United States mail.

News from Mexico states that President
Diaz has settled the propositions for railway
concessions. The road to the Pacific coast
has been given to the Palmer party, that to
El Paso to the Simon party, and that to
Loredo, with a branch from San Lui6 Potosi

It is rumored that General Diaz will be
Premier of the Cabinet of the incoming
President, and the people are gratified,
because it will insure the perpetuation of
peace in Mexico.

The campaign In Pennsylvania is as
suming lively proportions, as will be seen
by a telegraphic dispatch from Pittsburg.
Gen. B. F. Butler and Col. John W. Forney
arrived in that city on Friday afternoon,
and the former made a speech to a number
of colored men, Indicting the Republican
party for its failure to do what it had
promised to do in extending protection to
the colored race. He gave his reason for
going with the Democratic party, which,
under the lead of General Hancock, has
promised to enforce the thirteenth, four
teenth and fifteenth amendments, and they
will have the power to do it.
The British Vice Admiral Seymour, In
oommaud of the combined fleet, has ad
dressed a note to Riza Pasha, demanding a
categorical answer as to the determination
to cede Dulcigno to the Montenegrins.
The Ministerial crisis which threatened
France has been averted, and the resigna

Worship, the Minister of Justice and the
Minister of War have been reconsidered. The
basis of the agreement arrived at in a coun

the Minister of Worship retains full liberty
of action in reference to the execution of
the March decrees, which he will execute
at the time and in the manner which he
considers most suitable.

The Failure of the Virginia Com
promise.
True Democrats all over the country
will learn with unfeigned regret of the
failure of the efforts recently entered
into by the Central Committees of the
Democratic and Readjustee parties in
Virginia to effect a compromise which
would secure a concentration of the
votes of all the friends of Hancock and
English upon a single electoral ticket.
The loss of the eleven votes of Virginia
in November would probably prove a
serious blow to the hopes of the National
Democracy, and the friends of Hancock
and English throughout the Union have
felt great anxiety lest, with two electo
ral tickets in the field in that common
wealth, the vote would be so divided
that the united Radical party might be
able to slip in between and carry
the State. For this reason, when it
was announced that the two parties,
through their respective committees,
were in conference, it was confidently
anticipated that motives of patriotism
would cause them both to rise above
personal feeling, and induce them to
harmonize on national politics, especially
as their differences are purely of a local
cha»cter. It seems, however, that these
anticipations were doomed to disappoint
ment, for on Friday last the conference
ended without any satisfactory agree
ment having been reached, and matters
still remain in statu quo.
A review of the causes of this failure
clearly places the responsibility therefor
upon the Readjuster party. The Demo
crats made to them a proposition at
which no fair-minded set of men could
have had the slightest objection. This
was that each part}- should withdraw five
of their present electors, and form a
new ticket, consisting of ten names taken
equally from the ranks of each party
while the National Democratic Commit
tee was to choose the eleventh elector.
This perfectly fair plan, submitted by
the Democracy solely in the interest of
peace and the success of the
National Democratic ticket, was prompt
ly rejected by the Readjusters,
who, in turn, presented a plan of their
own to the effect that each electoral
ticket, in its entirety, should be voted on
at a primary election in October, at
which election every registered voter in
the State should be permitted to vote.
To this the Democrats acceded, except
that they wished the plan so modified
that only such qualified voters as were
known to be Democrats, and who
would undoubtedly support Hancock
and English in November, should
be allowed to cast their bal
lots at the primaries. This proposal
was, like the other, eminently just and
fair. Yet the Readjusters, doubtless
more anxious to secure their party pres
tige iu the State than to make sure of a
Democratic victory in November, de
dined it, and summarily adjourned sine
die, thereby preventing any possible op
portunity for bringing about any agree
ment whatever.
Notwithstanding this failure to agree
upon a compromise with the Hancock
Readjusters, we still have strong hopes
that the electoral vote of the Old Domin
ion will not be lost to the National De
mocracy. The fact that the Readjusters
were unwilling to submit their ticket to
the Democratic voters of the State, shows
that they rely upon Radical votes to
maintain them in power, and, besides
this, it is well known that it was only by
a fusion with the Radicals of the State
that Mahone and his party were enabled
to defeat the Democracy last fall. In
November the Radical allies of
the Mahonites, however, will proba
bly vote solidly for Garfield and
Arthur, especially as they hope, by so
doing to win a victory on account of the
breach in the ranks of the Hancock
supporters in the State. The Mahonites
will thus be the party weakened, and it
is not unlikely that the Democracy will
prove sufficiently strong to carry the day
over the two factions of their opponents.
If such shmild prove to be the case,
the failure of the compromise
will be a source of strength to
the Democrats, and their victory
will prove doubly gratifying. It is,
therefore, sincerely to be hoped that all
true men in Virginia will determine to
abandon a party which has shown itself
so ready to sacrifice the Democracy of
the Union to its owu selfish purposes.
It will be an everlasting shame to Vir
ginia should its electoral votes be cast
for the Radical ticket and thus prove the
means of foisting another Radical Presi
dent—and that President James A. Gar-
fieid—upon the country.
Colonel lilaek's Appointments.
The Democratic nominee for Congress
for the First Congressional district was
in the city on Saturday, and made his
list of appointments for addressing the
citizens of the various counties in the
district, which is elsewhere published.
Colonel Black was induced to make
and have published these appointments
before his formal letter accepting the
nomination for Congress by reason of
the limited time he has to canvass the
whole district
• Judge Tompkins will open the canvass
for the Democratic nominee at Homer-
ville, in Clinch county, on next Thurs
day, and will lend his aid ehewhere
until the election at such times and
places as Colonel Black shall deem most
desirable.
The stealing of the remains of the late
A. T. Stewart, and the frequent cases of
body snatching of w hich there has been
so much complaint, especially in the
West, have opened a field for the exer
cise of Yankee ingenuity, which has
been promptly taken advantage of. A firm
in Springfield, Ohio, advertises “Burglar
proof iron grave vaults,” which guaran
tee perfect security against those human
hyenas known as “resurrectionists.” The
advertisement alluded to is adorned with
a cut showing the burglar-proof vault
containing a coffin half exposed.
Bananas arc likely to be less plenty on
account of the hurricane which swept
Jamaica on the 18th ult A large part
of the bananas in the New York market
came from Jamaica, and the hurricane
has ruined all the banana groves on the
island. It will take till next March to
restore the groves. So many bananas,
however, are grown in Cuba and the Ba
hamas, that the loss in Jamaica ought
not to be appreciable. Even in Florida,
and after leaving out of the count all the
broad banana line near the St. John’s as
untrustworthy, there is a section down
at the southeast end of the State where
enough bananas could be grown, as cer
tainly as in Cuba, to supply all the

Newspapers—Their Nature, Repre
sentative Character and Their
Influences.
The first newspaper, as our researches
inform us, was the English Mercurie,
established 1588. under the authority of
Queen Elizabeth, “for the prevention of
false reports,” by Christopher Barker,
Her Highness’ printer. The next was
the Gazette de France, established by
Renairdot in 1631, as the official organ
of the government, and continued with
few interruptions until 1827. The next
was the Public Intelligencer, established
in England in 1663 by Sir Roger L’Es
trange for public information. From
this paper may be dated the birth of
English and American journalism. The
first intention of newspapers, as we see,
was to be a vehicle of correct public
information. They naturally became
soon the medium for the discussion of
questions interesting to the public; and
as their convenience for public informs
tion was developed, they became the in
fluential elements of literature, politic!
ind trade that exist to day. In fact
journalism has become a power in the
land—the fourth estate. In consequence
newspapers are now regarded as the
best types of the intelligence,
morality, and civilization of
the countries and communities
in which they are published. Wiih
their growth and development of new
faculties the infant journals of the sev
enteenth century have become giants,
furnishing general information, tracing
out popular sentiment, and directing
public thought To be the director of a
leading journal now requires ed
ucation, ability, exDerience and
a training in the art of journal
ism. Almost every other man one
meets is possessed with the conceit that
he can edit a newspaper. To his crude
knowledge, it is only necessary to sit
down, write an article, give it to the
compositor—and the thing is done. It
is to this general self-conceit and igno
rance of what journalism is that we owe
so many of our worthless papers, that
spring up like toad stools around us, and
live an ephemeral fungus existence.
To an intelligent man, a glance through
the columns of a newspaper photographs
on his mind the characters of the editor
and his readers. The tone of the edito
rials and selections indicate the mental
moral and civilized tastes of its patrons,
and their intellectual cultivation. It is
the touchstone by which they are tried.
The man must come out in his editorials
and selections, however much he may
strive to be what he is not really; and
his success or failure measures the sym
pathy of his patronage. Bad men fre
quently succeed where better men fail,
as is the case in every business, by supe
rior ability, energy, or brass, but still
the badness will show out here and there,
a3 also its approval or condemnation by
the patrons. As none but men of low
capacity are content to be gossips merely,
the mind of an able editor must impress
more or less for good or evil those of his
readers. Hence the necessity for scru
tiny before admitting a doubtful
element into our domestic or po
litical relations. Many men and
women have been ruined by bad news
paper reading, as the world knows, and
the head of the family who is careless as
to the journal he subscribes for sins
against his own soul, by setting the ex
ample of keeping bad company. The
curse of journalism to day is that we
have too many papers controlled by in
competent managers, “cheap Jacks” ped
dling inferior wares in accord with igno
rance, and they who buy them are like
unto them. "We need fewer, and those
marked with cultivation, for as “the man
who drinks beer thinks beer,” so the
man who reads an ignorant newspaper
will think ignorantly.
Policy of the Grantites.
The breach between the Grant aDd
Garfield factions of the Republican party
has not been closed, and there
are not the slightest indications that
it can be closed. The Grant Repub
licans are very desirous of the election
of a Republican Congress, and are de
voting their energies almost exclusively
to that point. For Garfield they are do
ing just as little as will suffice to prevent
a charge of bolting a regular nomination
being brought against them in 1884 when
they propose to nominate Grant. Their
reasons for this policy are very clear
and cogent. With Garfield as Presi
dent, the Federal office holders would
be appointed exclusively from the anti
Grant faction and thus the Federal “ma
chine,” against which no man has yet
succeeded in securing the Republican
Presidential nomination, would be anti
Grant. With Garfield in the White
House, there would not be even a fight
ing chance for the nomination of Grant
in 1884. But with General Hancock as
President, and Congress Republican, the
Grant faction would rule the Republican
party. They would reiterate their claim
made at Chicago last June that Grant
was the only Republican who would
stand any chance of election, and they
would point to Garfield’s defeat as
a conclusive verification of that claim
and as also a convincing argument in
favor of the ex-President’s nomination
in 1884. They would consent to the
ousting of anti-Grant Republicacs from
office, but would use the civil service re
form weapon against the removal of
Grant Republicans. In brief, the Grant
faction would gain nothing and lose,
everything by Garfield’s election. Hence
the failure of all efforts to close the
breach between the two factions. Hence,
also, the abandonment of the defense of
Garfield, and the turning of the Repub
lican campaign upon issues more direct
ly connected with Congress than the
Presidency.
In its bitter editorial comments on the
result in Maine the Press (Rep.) of Port
land says: “Unless we wish to pcse as
the leaders of a band of highwaymen
we would do well to erase the motto
(Dingo “I direct”) from our State seal.
Not satisfied with being soiled we have
gone and rubbed the dirt in. The stain
has been ‘fixed.’ This year at least no
man of Maine descent will boast of his
birthplace, or lift his head when the
State is spoken of.” Poor fellow! “His
sufferings is intolerable and cries aloud
for redress.”
General Hancock sent a telegram to Gen
eral A. L. Pearson, of Pittsburg, which was
read at a meeting of the Republican “Flop-
pers,” who, we presume, are Republicans
who have “flopped” over inio the Demo
cratic ranks for this Presidential contest, in
which the General alludes to the composi
tion of the meeting as indicating that “the
remnant of sectionalism and bitterness are
to be buried; that living issues are to be
grappled with, and that the party now seek
ing the control of the government covers all
sections, and embodies harmony, freedom
of opinion and a fair expression thereof
through the ballot box.”
Augusta Chronicle: “The nomination
of Colonel George R. Black by the De
mocracy of the First district was an ex
cellent one. Georgia’s delegation in the
next Congress will be ‘euperb.’ ”
The Record
Republican organ 5 , remarks the
Bridgeport Farmer, will consul! their
party’s interests by “going slowly” in
any attempt to fix the characterization of
“negro hater and defender of slavery
upon Hon. Wm. H. English. Charges
of that kind are of the boomerang order,
when the records are full of such matter
as follows:
“I have never been an anti-slavery
man. ’—Gen. Grant to Son. E. B. Wash
burne.
“If there be those who would not
save the Union unless they eould at the
same time destroy slavery, I do not agree
with them. My paramount object is to
save the Union and not either to save or
destroy slavery.”—President Lincoln to
Horace Greeley.
“lam not, nor never have been, in
favor of making voters, or jurors of
negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold
office, nor intermarrying them with white
people, and I will say, in addition to this,
that there is a physical difference be
tween the white and black races, which,
I believe, will forever forbid the two
races living together on terms of social
and political equality—and inasmuch as
they cannot so live, while they do re
main together, there must be a position
of superior and inferior, and 1, as much
as any other man, am in favor of having
the superior position assigned to the
white race.”—Abraham Lincoln.
“It would, in my opinion, be unwise
to make the work of reconstruction de
pend upon a condition of such doubtful
utility' as negro suffrage.”—Got. (and
afterward Senator, and now deceased)
Morion of Indiana.
In the House on July 22, 1861, a reso
lution containing this clause, “that this
war is not waged upon our part in any
spirit of oppression, nor for any purpose
of conquest or subjugation, nor v purpose
of overthrowing or int- rfering with the
rights or established institutions of those
(Southern) States,” passed by a nearly
unanimous vote, only two Republicans
(Potter and Riddle) voting against it.
Among those who voted for its passage
were Colfax (afterwards Vice President)
Conkling (now Senator), Dawes (now
Senator), Delano (afterwards Secretary
of the Interior), Sherman (now Secretary
of the Treasury), and many other now
well known and prominent Republicans.
In the Senate, substantially the same
resolution received the votes of every
Republican but one.
Why the South is Solid.
In a letter to the New York Herald,
Hon. A. H. H. Stuart, of Virginia, an
swers effectively the Republican sophis
try about the solidity of the South.
There are excellent reasons, Mr. Stuart
shows, for the solidity which vexes Re
publicans so much, and those reasons
are to be found in the narrowness
bigotry aud inconsistency of the Repub
lican policy. In the first place, that
policy has. with a few exceptions, aimed
to exclude Southern men of capacity
and character from participation in pub
lie affairs. Mr. Hayes undertook to in
augurate a reform in this respect, but his
new departure was greeted with such a
yell of disapprobation from Republican
politicians that he was speedily forced to
abandon it, and afterward disgusted the
people of the entire South by appoint
ing to office a “mass of disgraced and
disreputable political bummers.” In the
same manner, Mr. Stuart argues, Gen.
Garfield, after pursuing a moderate and
conciliatory course toward the South, all
at once veered round in obedience to
party behests, and as the Republican
candidate for Presdent indorses the stal
wart policy. What, therefore, has the
South to expect from the Republican
party? The treatment it has received in
the past certainly does not afford much
ground for encouragement, and the
memory of carpet-bag rule is still vivid
in every Southern State. It would be
strange, indeed, if the South were not
solid against the Radical misrule of
which it has had so bitter an experience.
Opposition to the code duello is grow
ing in South Carolina. At a Democratic
convention held recently in Marion
county, Messrs Julius U. Evans and
John M. Power insisted upon being
heard in spite of the Chaii man’s rulings,
and otherwise behaved in a disorderly
manner. Captain Gilchrist, sergeant at
arms of the convention, and by direction
of the body, expelled the disorderly pair
by force. This wounded their honor,
and Evans challenged Gilchrist to fight
a duel. Gilchrist refused to “violate his
vows to society and to God,” by fighting a
dueL A meeting of citizens was called
and largely attended,whereat resolutions
commending Gilchrist for his refusal to
fight were unanimously adopted. The
resolutions denounced the code as a
relic of a barbarous mode of settling
differences between man and man,” and
called upon the Governor to remove
Ev.tns from the position he holds as Trial
Justice of the county, because he sent a
challenge.
I Must Take Office Unfledged.—
The New York Express states on good
authority, that last week a number of
rich men waited on General Hancock and
told him thej would raise a quarter of a
million of dollars towards the ligitimate
expenses of his election if he would per
in it them to name the Secretary of the
Treasury should he be elected President.
General Hancock was told that while
the Republicans were raising and
sending vast sums of money in this
campaign, and it was proposed to raise a
million dollars by private subscription to
insure the election of Garfield, the Dem
ocratic Committee had no funds to speak
of, and is obliged to depend upon the
spontaneous enthusiasm of the people
for contributions. General Hancock lis
tened to their statement with respect,and
courteously replied: “Gentlemen, I must
decline your offer. If elected to the
Presidency I must take the office un
pledged”—a reply characteristic of the
man and in keeping with his record.
Hon. Horatio Seymour emerged from
the retirement of his country home on
Wednesday to deliver a political address
at Utica. Like all his utterances, his
speech on this occasion was moderate,
thoughtful and patriotic. His principal
theme was the danger to be apprehended
from the centralization tendencies of
the Republicans, whose demand for
‘more power” he aptly defined as being,
in effect, a declaration to the people that
the Republican party can take care of
their interests better than they can them
selves. With regard to Secretary Sher
man’s absurd claim that Republican
legislation wrought our present prosper
ity, Mr. Seymour remarked with quiet
irony that Mr. Sherman did himself a
wrong in not rendering sufficient grati
tude to God and to the laborers of the
land for the abundant crops, without
which such prosperity would have been
impossible.
A Washington special says it is un
derstood that since the Maine election a
second assessment has been levied upon
the department clerks and government
employes, and in addition a confidential
circular addressed to business men has
been prepared and sent out. It asks for
cqptributions on the ground that stability
and business prosperity can only be
maintained by the election of Garfield.
CAMPAIGN NOTES.
Colled From Oar State Exchange*
Dalton Citizen: “South Georgia may
be pretty enthusiastic for Senator ‘Mi
nority,’ but hanged if Governor Colquitt
isn’t as solid as a brick wall m all this
broad section of the State.”
Cartersville Express: “Said an old
colored man the other day in Cart? rs-
ville. while looking at the picture of the
negro on the back of the Norwood con
vict catechism’: ‘Dat is a mighty bad
looking nigger, an’ I ’spec’s he ought to
be in ~de~ chain gang. But d&r’s one
t’ing about dat book dat don’t suit dis
nigger. 1 wants to know why da didn’t put
a white man on dar wid de nigger. Da’s
got white men in de chain gang and 1
knows it. Ef Mr. Norwood spec’s to
git a nigger vote wid dat book he's
gwine to git fooled sbo’. I sw’ar fore
de Lord 1 won’t vote for him.’”
Hawkinsville Dispatch: “ ‘Colquitt is
not a nominee —he is only a recom
men dee.’—Macon Herald.
“Exactly! Colquitt was recommended
by 220 of the 350 delegates composing
the Gubernatorial Convention, while
Norwood is the appointee of the frag
mentary minority, or of a committee of
eleven appointed bv himself, and that
after the Hon. W. ll. Felton, the Inde
pendent, had declined to make the race
for the minority.”
Athens Banner: “ ‘Brother Waterman
who has taken charge of the Athens Ban
ner, has taken down the name of Nor
wood for Governor aad run up A. U.
Colquitt Rather doubtful policy we
should think, in Clark county, brother
W.’—Gainesville Southron.
“The ‘policy’ may or may not have
been doubtful. We acted in this matter
as we always do, from principle. We
cannot conscientiously support Nor
wood, and to have kept his name at the
bead of the Banner, would have done
violence to our settled convictions.
Whether the ‘policy’ was good or bad.
we did not stop to enquire; nor did it
matter so far as the Banner is con
cerned, whether Colquitt or Nor
wood had the larger following
in Clarke county. We are not in the
habit of following majorities for the
sake of being in the majority. Our
‘policy’ is to do what is right, as God
gives us to see the right, and let the
consequences take care of themselves.
A manly advocacy of honest opinions
may cause temporary unpopularity, but
in the end it usually wins the respect
even of opponents; and, at all events,
it leaves behind it that which is much
more to be desired than popularity and
which no amount of popularity can
give—namely, a clear conscience. We
would rather be right than popular.”
Gwinnett Herald: “From the great
crocodile tears Norwood sheds over the
poor convicts who are suffering the pun
ishment provided by law for murderers
and other infamous criminals, one would
suppose he would be in favor of pardon
ing all of them and giving them a pen
sion during lire. Red-lianded murderers,
midnight burglais, incendiaries who put
the torch to their neighbors’ houses,
brutes who ravish innocence, ought to be
handled as gently as sucking doves.
Bullock tried the same plan, and in a
year or two neither life, person or prop
erty was safe. It is astonishing how far
sensible men will reach for a vote.”
Under the heading, “Another Sweet
scented Relic for Norwood,” the Colum
bus Times says: “Mr. W. M. Blodgett,
son of the late Foster Blodgett, of very
unsavory memory, the New York Times
is informed, will soon start to Georgia,
from Washington city, with all the pri
vate papers and letters, and little ‘tin
box’ of his father to canvass the State
for Norwood. Mr. Blodgett is a Repub I
lican of course, and threatens dire expo
sures of Senators Hill and Brown aud
other prominent Democrats. He is said
to propose to make public all the con
tents of his father’s ‘tin box’ from the
stump, and thus secure the defeat of
Colquitt and the election of Norwood.
Now, for ourselves, we are curious to
know what Mr. Blodgett can tell, for we
have always had a hankering for some
of the dark secrets of those terrible tin
boxes of which we have frequently
heard, and shall await his comiDg and
his revelations with impatience. But
whatever Mr. Blodgett may be able to
tell, we venture the prediction that he
will have as little of a damaging charac
ter to tell about Governor Colquitt as of
any other prominent man who figured
before the public in the days covered by
the ‘ private papers” of Foster Blodgett.
If Mr. Blodgett, or his friend Norwood’s
friends, thiuk they can intimidate any
body with those old “tin box ’ buga
boos, he and they are quite mistaken.
Our friends of the Norwood persuasion
are a little harder pressed for props to
tlieir hopeless cause than we before
thought, if they are seeking them among
the rotten relics of Radical rule and in
the old tin boxes of Blodgett A Co.
This pilgrimage of Blodgett, Jr., how
ever, we suspect is an enterprise of Mi.
Marshal Jewell, whose letter of advice
to Georgia Republicans was treated
with such contempt by the Republican
Convention of this State a few days ago.
Mr. Jewell doubtless thinks Mr. Blodgett
can do what Mr. Norcross so signally
failed in doing—get Georgia Republi
cans to declare for and support Norwood
for Governor.”

BA cat was carelessly shut up in a room
in Rouseville, Chautauqua county, N.
Y., by a family when they were going
away for the summer holidays. It was
found still alive after thirty-nine days
and may recover. It had torn down the
curtains and mutilated the wall as high
as it could reach in its suffering.
Judge Warner s Infallibility.
Atlanta Constitution.
In his speech recently delivered at
Greenville. Ju Ige Warner said, amongsi
other things, that the only authority the
“Governor had to make a contract or em
ploy lawyers at all. is to be found in the
63d section of the Code. The Governor
has no right to make an absolute con
tract; the law says such fees shall be
conditional, which means to be reviewed
by the General Assembly: it is the right
of the people, through their represents
tives. to pass upon and adjudicate the
amount of their fees, and not the Gov
ernor.”
What are the facts in the case First
the act referred to—Code, section 63
was not passed by the Legislature until
August 26, 1872, (see acts 1872, pages
39-40.) This contract was not made un
der that act, but was made long before—
in 1869—by Governor Bullock. It was
made under the authority given by the
Code, section 74, “defining the duties of
the Governor,” and which says, “and he
has power to engage the services of any
competent person for the discharge of
an} - duty required by the laws and es
sential to the interest of the State, or
necessary in any emergency to preserve
the prosperity or funds of the State. ”
This is an old act or law of the State,
which was construed by the Supreme
Court in 18 Ga., 664, as giving to the
Governor full power, not only to employ,
but to pay the lees of attorneys thus en
gaged. Mr. Justice Lumpkin, in a care
ful and learned decision, in speaking of
the fees claimed by Powers in that case
says: “Had’it been passed upon by the
Legislature, or by the Gov rnor, the law
having clothed him with the power of
employing counsel and paying their fees,
there would be an end to the businees.
Here then is clear proof that Judge War
ner is in error, and that Governor Col
quilt was right.
Second—This is not the only error of
the ex Judge, but a still more palpable
one occurs in hi9 definition of the words
(speaking of the employment of an at
torney), “On such terms as to ccmpen
sation as he may agree upon, but the fees
of such attorney shall be conditional.”
This, says Judge Warner, means that the
Governor may employ, but the Legisla
ture only can pay the fees. 19 this true
If so, wbr.t was the use of say
ing that the “Gover* or should agree
upon the terms of compensation?” Why
not say, he may employ an attorney-’
and there stop? Did the Legislature
intend to give the Governor the right to
make a contract with an attorney, and
then reserve the right to set it aside after
the work was done? Is that the system
for a great State to adopt in dealing with
its citizens? Is it not too plain to argue
that, by the use of the words, “but the
fees of such attorney shall be condi
tional,” the intention was to put a limi
tation on the Governor in fixing the
terms? Was it not the meaning that if
there was no recovery there were no fees
to be paid? To show that these words
mean what they say and nothing else, it
is only necessary to sav that there were
other acts of the Legislature on this sub
ject, which are to be c-mstrued pari ma
tcria. The Legislature of 1872 (see acts,
p. 372.) on the 26th of January author
ized the Governor to employ attorneys
to bring suits for the recovery of prop
erty or money belonging to the State, at
such reasonable compensation as may be
agreed upon by the < Governor and said
attorney for his servii es so tendered, to
be paid.” How paid? By the Governor,
of course.
This was nothing ne w, for the Legis
lature of 1840-42 (Code, section. I486),
authorizes the Governor—iu cases
brought for the forfeiture of bank char
ters—to employ “assistant counsel to aid
therein (aid the Attorney General) and
pay him (the assistant ounsel) out cf any
money not otherwise appropriated.” We
might refer to other ads on this subject
to show that the Governor has always
been entrusted by the Legislature with
the power not only to employ, but
to pay the fees of attorneys thus engaged
for the State, and that there was no limi
tation on this power. The purpose had
in view by the Legislature in passing the
act of August 26, 1872, which is section
63 of the Co ie, was to make the cempen
sation of attorne3*s employed in all such
cases dependent upon the recovery and
and not otherwise.
Thus it will be set a that Judge War
ner has wholly failed to get at or give
the true intent and meaning of the 63d
section of the Code referred to and com
mented upon by him, and his strictures
upon the conduct of Governor Colquitt
are unjust, untenable and unauthorized.
Concerning the nomination of Hon.
George R. Black for Congress from this
district, the Augusta Neves says: “Hon.
George li. Black, of Scriven, has re
ceived the nomination for Congress in
the First Congressional district. Mr.
Black has beea prominent in Georgia
politics for some years, and has a repu
tation for rare ability, eloquence and in
tegrity. The First district has honored
itself in the nomination. Mr. Black will
succeed Hon. John C. Nicholls.”
The United States and tite CniLi
ans.—The State Department has not re
ceived any official notification of the ac
ceptance by Chili of mediation with the
United States. In July our Minister to
Chili informed the State Department that
the Chilian Government would accept
the mediation of the United States
whereupon correspondence was had with
both Cliili and Peru, but thus far neither
country has officially signified its accept
ance.
The Polyphemus, the British steam
ram now building at Chatham, is a naval
monster of uniqne proportions and con
struction, and it is expected will be the
most formidable structure afloat. She
is intended to be an armored, sheet-
elated ram, 2,640 tons capacity and 5,500-
lorse power, built almost entirely of
steel, and meant to use torpedoes lee
sides. It is thought that no vessel afloat,
no matter what her build, could survive
one or two blows from this ram.
How Happlne** in Secured.
Happiness is the absence of pain or an
noyance, and wherever there is pain there
is disease. A pain in the lower portion of
the body indicates a disorder of some kiDd.
If there is any odor or color deposit in the
urine it means disease and requires atten
tion at once. We have heard many of our
friends speak of the remarkable power of
Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, and
are convinced there is nothing so certain
and valuable for all disorders of the urinary
system, both male and female.
