The Atlanta detectives are a vigorous
set. Next thing you know they will be
picking up tho honorable members of
the Legislature for DeFoor murderers.
We are sorry for those Legislators
who have business at home to attend
to. Membership in the Legislature is
a work of patriotism now, without
doubt.
It is Hitch n pleasure to read a polit
ical article in a paper, beginning: “As
we predicted some months since, &c.”
Homo papers aspire to the gift of
prophecy.
While investigation is so prevalent,
Sara Bernhardt would do well to give
Georgia the go-by. “Mon petit acci
dents" would be inquired into without
favor or affection.
Mrs. William Henry Peek of Atlanta
is confined to her bed and suffering
considerably from the Injury received
some mouths since on the New York

The public does not know yet,wheth
er the body of A. T. Stewart has been
recovered or not. It is probable that
it has been, and that Judge Hilton
keeps it a secret in order to prevent n
repetition of the stealing. Oh, the
wicked North!
Prof. Million, one of tho ablest edu
cators in Georgia, Ipiving resigned his
position as Superintendent of the pub

The long expected report of the
Committee on the Judiciary was pre

Mr. Hull, of Spalding, offered reso

notify the Senate that the House was
ready for trial, which were unanimous

Mr. Yancey, of Clarke, offered a res

of Dr. Crawford W. Long from Mr.

adopted.
A resolution was accepted requiring
tho Attorney-General to report to the

In the Senate the hill regulating tlie

TUE TRUTH.
Smith & Wesson, the pistol makers,
if there is any crime in furnishing
tin* tools with which crime is commit
ted, are tho greatest criminals in this
country. If the long record of killing
in this country, for the past ten years,
were examined, it would be found that
t hree out of every four persons shot
with pistols were shot with those
made by this firm. And, yet, no
doubt, these very men tire very con
scientiously opposed to carrying these
deadly weapons, and much horrified
when they hear of these savage South
erners shooting each other with t hem.
We have been reminded of the deadly
work of these Smith & Wesson’s by
seeing the account's in late exchanges of
men being shot and killed, and in both
instances these Smith *!v Wesson toys
did the business. Their little pistols
have killed more men in civil life than
ever did the huge Ivrupp, Armstrong
or Gatling guns destroy in military.

THE IMPEACHMENT TKIAL.
The trial of W. L. Goldsmith, comp
troller-general of the State of Georgia,
for high crimes and misdemeanors, is
appointed to begin this morning. The
Senate sits ns a court, presided over by
the chief-justiee of the State. Seven
members of the House act as prosecu
tors ; and the accused is allowed coun
sel of his own selection.
The offenses with which Mr. Gold
smith is charged, are very grave ones.
If he is guilty of them, ho is unfit for
the high and responsible position ho
occupies. If he is innocent, the honest
people of Georgia will rejoice at hisae-
quittal.
One thing may be set down ns being
as certain ns anything of the sort can
be—the trial will be a fair one and the
verdict a just one. The seven manag
ers for the State uro very aide men—
men who from long practice at law,
know how to present a ease and how
to argue it. The cause of the State is j
safe in their hands. Tho accused has i
for his attorneys, Messrs. Hopkins &
Glenn and Messrs. Thompson & Can
dler, two of the ablest law firms in the
State. They know tlie rights of their j
clients and will not allow ids interests
to suffer.
The fact that Judge Warner will pre
side, is satisfactory assurance that tlie
trial will be fairly conducted. He
knows the law, and he knows what
justice is. His long service on the Su
preme bench makes him eminently
qualified to hold the scales of justice
in this important trial. He is ns firm
as a rock, and in his well-balanced,
time-trained mind there is no lurking-
place for prejudice or partiality. He
is an honest, able and wise judge—how
fortunate is the State, to possess such
a one I
The Senate is a very able and judi
cious body. They are capable of right
ly considering the ease, and of render
ing a correct decision. The poople of
Georgia who are so much interested,
may rest content in the assurance that
jnstiee will be done—as neur as it is in
the power of fallible men to do it.
ionoe of the Senate at whieh time we
will makegood the charges.”
Mr. President, “The Senate will take
proper order on the subject of this im
peachment of whieh the House of Rep
resentatives will have notice.”
Mr. Howell introduced the following
resolution which was adopted: I f ’ uot ^ "l’ on at length by Messrs. Paine,

A number of House bills passed—all
of them local.
In tho House on motion of Mr. Aw-

The motion did not prevail.
Mr. Awtrey, of Troup, moved that tho
communication be referred to the spe

claim of James A. Green, which was
carried.
The House concurred in tho Senate
amendments to the House bill, to con

State, and to make said tax collectors

At the hour of 10:30 the House pro

to in-event tho sale of spirituous
liquors in this Stato after January 1,
1880.
House bills were read third time, as
follows:
To prohibit railroads from making
waiver of damage contracts with em
ployees. Laid on tlie table, for the
present.
To fix bailiffs’ fees in certain cases
in Justice Courts. Passed.
To make it penal for tux-collectors
to hold in their possession, at one
time, longer than five days, more than
$5,OIK) collected by them. Tabled.
To amend tlie charter of the city
question puts the price a triile too low,
and we hope tho Senate will amend it
in that particular; hut wo believe
that tlie fees of newspapers in such
business might just as well bo regulat
ed by law as the fees of sheriffs and or
dinaries. Some papers “gouge” tre-
menduously in publishing legul adver
tisements—charging two orthree times
as much us for advertising of the same
amount from business men. This is
imposition on a helpless public, for
which the proposed law is a very judi
cious remedy.
But, say somo papers, you might as
well regulate the fees of lawyers in the
management of estates. Wo agree to
(From tho Sixirtu Ishmaollto.)
Morraonism is not a species of re
ligion, it is licentiousness. If there is
no law to prevent corrupt fan at it s
from ingrafting its degrading and
lawless tenets into Georgia society,
there ought speedily to be one. It is
not creditable to mir State that Mor
mon fanatics are free to traverse its
limits at will, inculcating their infer
nal doctrines. A stop ought to be put
to it. Law was never intended to pro
tect the enemies of society, in their
efforts to destroy the very foundations
of all that is pure and holy in society
itself. It isn’t worth the while for the
Governor or the papers to raise a howl
for the protection of Mormon mission
aries in their diabolical zeal for the
degradation of Georgia women, and
tho ‘corruption of Georgia society.
They deserve no protection. They
come to destoy. Let them be warned;
and if they give no heed, let them un
derstand that they war upon society
here at t he peril of their lives. It is
a terrible thing to destroy a human
being; but it is a worse tiling to per-
mitjbheso Mormon priests to destroy
with impunity, what is more valuable
A DIFFERENT EFFECT,
bolster the Executive by many
words and long ariieles of praise is to
admit that his administration makes
them necessary. To damn him by
wholesale abuse and to accompany
the same with an effort to implicate
him personally in the crookedness of
others over whom lie has no eonrol,
will accomplish a very different object
from that intended by bis villillors.

law on this subject can bo onacted we
are in favor of it. Many estates are
sacrificed to tlie rapacity or the chican

its protection around estates, it ought
to do so. Wc have little hope of such

ty of our homes is tho first of all du-
ties— a duty in defense of which any
man, worthy of the name, would
count his own life but a paltry sacri
fice. If the officers of tho law cannot
or will not protect tlie houses of the
people from tho polluting presence of
these emissaries of tlie Devil, then the
people must make a stand in their
own defense. And if nothing less
than the death of tlieso fanatics will
deliver our society from their attacks,
and our wives and daughters from
their lewd and shameless sophistries,
that are born of tlie bottomless pit, we
unhesitatingly take tho position that
they ought to lie shot down like wild
beasts. Tho libertine, who cloaks his
infernal teachings under tho garb of
religion, is the most dangerous of all
tho enemies that war upon tho peace
and purity and sanctity of the family
relation ; and tho man who strikes one
of them down in defense of his homo,
does so in obedience to a law that is
as old as humanity itself. Mormon-
'isiii in Georgia should have only one
right—that ; of burial. It is entitled to
no other, and tlie people, if- they are
wise, will see to it that it gets no other.
The world should be lot to know that
Georgia is not missionary ground for
Mormon priests.
