Late advices from northern Texas
say rotton is maturing earlier this
rear owing to a lack of rain. The
yield will be more, as the acreage Is
about 15 per cent, greater, but plant
ers fear the staple will be shorter,
owing to the fact that the unusually
dry weather has forced the bolls to
open before they reached frill matu
rity.
Macon Telegraph: “Mr. Goldsmith
is confident that he will be able to
explain exerything. Most ardently
do we hope so. In the past the
Comptroller General has always been
regarded as an upright Christian
gentleman and efficient officer. Lot
him have the fhllest opportunity and
means, if possible, of establishing his
innocence.”
Dr. Tucker, in the Christian Index,
vigorously denounces the murder of
the Mormon in Whitfield county, and
adds: “Much as we detest the dis
gusting imposture of Joe Smith, we
shall nevertheless defend his follow
ers from violence as zealously as we
would defend our own people. Mur
der under guise of religion is quite
as bad to say the least, as polygamy
under guise of religion; and we ear
nestly hope that the miscreants who
perpetrated this crime may meet the
Just reward of their deeds.” Entire
ly correct, Doctor. Just the way all
the good people of the State think.
Dr. Lott stated in his evidence be
fore the Wild Land Committee that
the sheriff of Coffee county charged
him $257 for advertising the lands
transferred to him in that county, but
that he refused to pay it, and they
compromised the matter by his pay
ing the sheriff $40 for the advertising.
And now comes the proprietor of the
Hawkinsville Dispatch, who did the
advertising, and asserts t&t the sher
iff only paid him $14 for the same,
less 25 per cent commission, making
the amount actually received by the
printer only $1(150.
There seems to be a growing ten
dency on the part of the press and
public to ignore the utility and jus
tice of courts, and thus attempt to
drag down that institution which for
so many years has stood as a bulwark
of safety to morality, to society and
to life. If public opinion is to con
demn and pronounce verdicts, preju
dice the popular mind and make pas
sion and hatred paramount to cool
and impartial investigation, the pow
er of the courts will be destroyed, for
the institution was created by the
people, sustained for a time by the
people, and its utility depends upon
the endorsement of the people.
Dr. Milton E. Bacon, formerly of
LaGrange, has severed bis connection
with the Female College of Aber
deen, Miss., and the West Point Press
thinks it would be “a fine opportuni
ty for Georgia to call back to her own
soil one of the best educators who
ever polished her daughters and set
them as brilliant stones in the edifice
»f our grand old Commonwealth.—
The recent unprecedented ovation to
President Bacon showed how glo-
rions is the work accomplished by
him and how deep and lasting is the
gratitude felt by those whose lives
have been made beautiful and blessed
by his careful culture of mind and
manners.”
The Yellow Fever
continues to rage in Memphis, but it
does not appear so malignant as it
was last year. Not so many deaths
have occurred as it was reasonable to
suppose would during the time it has
existed there. In New Orleans sev
eral cases have occurred, but it is not
epidemic as yet.

gradually spreading from the two in
fected points, and a greater mortality
can be anticipated. At a meeting of
the Committee of Safety this after

To Be Impeached. -
The Committee of thirteen appoint
ed by the House of Representatives
to further inquire into the official
conduct of Comptroller General
Goldsmith, have made their report.—
They present articles of impeachment
and in these articles eniuncrato many
grave charges. The report lias lieen
adopted by the House, and Mr. Gold
smith will doubtless be impeached.
The action of tha legislature in
this instance will have a wholesome
effect. It shows conclusively that the
Democratic party in Georgia is a
party of honesty; and that no imper
fect piece in its superstructure will
be allowed to remain and mar the
usefulness of its great foundation
principles.
It is conclusive evidence before the
people that they have a legislative
body, able, determined, and positive
—a body of conservative ideas, of
vigorous energy, it has permanated
democratic strength in Georgia, and
will thrill the nation with admiration
for the practical reformatory powers
of tho party which placed it at the
helm.
The days of white-washing crime
in high political places has passed.—
The evil tendency of the Bullock fac
tion to rob the people, inculcated iuto
the minds of one or more successors
in office, is destroyed, and “honesty
in government” is the watchword.
These developments monstrously
shocked the public. Mr. Goldsmith’s
reputation for honesty was high, and
this fact stayed proceedings against
him for a time. Twice elected to the
office of Comptroller by Democratic
Legislatures; and occupying a high
position in the Christian church, it
is no easy task to arrive at the true
inwardness of the affair; and popu-
ular sentiment allows him an
abundance of sympathy. It is left
for fact*, positive and startling, dark
and painful, yet facts, to convict him.
What effect this trouble will have
upon other occupants of the offices in
the State llonse, remains yet to l>e
seen. The popular mind is aroused.
Investigations will be in order, and
if guilt be established condemnation
is sore. Our people should guard
themselves against prejudice, and
await final and positive conviction
before closing their ears to contra
statements. There may yet be a
showing for even the Comptroller.—
The Senate is to try him in the capa
city of a jnry; is to hear evidence,
and pronounce a verdict Do him
thp justice to await their final action.
lam in Georgia.
Great excitement now prevails
throughout all portions of the coun
try over the psesence, progress and
success of the Mormon faith in North
Georgia, and the treatment they are
receiving from the citizens. No one
knows why; but they have devoted
all their energies to one section—a
district composed of Walker, Catoo-
and Whitfield, nnd portions of
Chattooga, Floyd, Murray and Dade.
The first missionary sent into this
section was Elder Morgan, who came
about seven years ago. He is de
scribed as a very extraordinary man,
brave, aggressive, shifty and eloquent.
He made no concessions, but argued
fiercely, very few beingable to argue
with him, be not listening to any
thing, bat meeting argument with
argument. Suffice it to say, he made
converts. Tis true, they were few
at first; but the number increased,
until now they have “flocks” and
“posts” in all the counties named.—
They have sent 150 or 200 to Utah,
but these have been poor and shift
less people, and most of them past
middle age—only one or two “pretty
girls” being known to have gone.
But the elders have made many
converts who stay in Georgia, and
these “saints” profess to be Mormons
in every particular, except that they
do not attempt to practice the polyg
amic part of their creed nnder Geor
gia laws. They are very circumspect,
preaching no licentious doctrines,
and when questioned about polygamy
in Utah, say: “You have your mar
riage laws and customs and we have
onra. We do not interfere with you
and you should not interfere with
ns."
They hare not lieen noticed to
great degree by the public generally,
bat have been permitted to use court
honses for preaching places, and in
Rome have occupied the City Hail.
Varnell’s station, in Whitfield county,
lias, however, been an exception to
this, for there violence and mob-law
hare faced and driven them back.
Joseph standing was left in charge of
affairs in Georgia, being made Pre
siding elder of the Georgia Confer
ence. He was a young man of 23,
but was of marked ability and valor.
His duties led him to Varnell’s, and
he must go. Before going, however,
he addressed a letter to Gov. Colquitt
calling bis attention to the violence
heretofore practiced, and prayiug for
the protection of the law of Georgia
which allowed each man to worship
God according to the dictates of his
conscience. To this letter the Cover
nor replied, through Mr. J. W. War
ren, Secretary Executive Department,
saying: “He will instruct the State
praeeeuting attorney for that district
to inquire into this matter, and if the
reports be true, to prosecute the of-
fcadore.” Upon this Elder Standing
proceeded to Varnell’s, where he was
met by a mob and assassinated, of
which our readers have been inform
ed. The Governor lias issued an or
der for the arrest of the mob.
Such is the situation. It should
make every Christian and every law-
abiding citizen stop and reflect. Are
our faiths, dear to us, to lie invaded
by these vile missionaries! and is
Mormonism to erect itself on the
rains of families aud churches ? And
is Georgia to become a field where
polygamy, with all its hellish attend
ances ana tendencies, is (o show her
self and spread corruption over our
loved State?
We call not for mobs, but we do
call upon every professing Christian
and every true, patriotic Georgian to
use every lawful means In bis power
to stop and stay the monster.
TERRIBLE EXPOSURE!
The Wild lenil Troubles.

Ini|M;nelieil.
Al 12 o’clock on Monday Iasi, the
committee of thirteen appointed to
investigate the charges against Comp
troller Goldsmith was taken up on
motion of Mr. Phillips, of Cohli.
The report was made in three dis
tinct parts, nnd included sixteen
counts against the Comptroller. The
majority report was rend first by Mr
S. W. Small, clerk of Ihc committee.
Among the charges were the fol
lowing. and which are the most im
portant :
The Comptroller is charged with
nn embezzlement of $11,000 of the
funds derived from the state for wild
lands.
Willi speculating in wild lands
through his hrotlier-iu-lnw Thomas
I- Swift: with altering and falsifying
the records of the office through Ids
clerks. James I.. Goldsmith and Allen
J. Bell, lie being privy to the transac
tion: with taking illegal eosls for
wildland li. fas; with depositing
funds from the sale of wild lauds in
a hank in Atlanta, to his personal
credit, and drawing out the same on
his personal check, instead of turning
the said funds over to the Treasurer
of the State, according to law; with
making false returns, and with fraud
ulently reporting the amount of lax
received on wild lands for 1877; with
not giving ccrtaiu parties the proper
credit for funds paid by them, a
number of specifications being made;
with retaining in office two clerks af
ter charges had been preferred against
them and closing with general char
ges of malpractice in office. A sup
plement avy report was offered by
some of the members of the Commit
tee signing the majority report pre
ferring charges of bribery in addition
to those preferred in the general re
port.
A minority report was also sub
mitted, some of the committee not
ngreeing to Ihc entire hill of charges'
The majority report was adopted.
The following resolution was in
troduced and unanimously passed:
/.Wrcrf, That IV. L. Goldsmith,
Comptroller General of the State of
Georgia, be impeached for high
crimes and misdemeanors in office.
J!lesolrcil, That the accompanying
testimony, statements, exhibits anu
rescript of proceedings, with this re
port be referred to the Committee on
the Judiciary, with instructions to
prepare and report without unneces
sary delay suitable articles of im
peachment of the said W. L. < iold-
s-mitli. Comptroller General.
Jlcsolretl, That a committee of sev
en of this House l>e appointed and in
structed to proceed at once to the bar
of the Senate of Georgia, and there,
in the name of the House of Keprc-j
sentalives and all the people ol the]
State of Georgia, impeach W. L. '
Goldsmith, Comptroller General, of|
high crimes and misdemeanor in of
fice, and to infoa'n that body that for
mal articles of impeachment will, in
due time, be presented, and to re
quest the Senate to take sucli order
in the premises as they deem appro
priate.
The preliminary proceeding for the
impeachment, says the correspondent
of the Telegraph Jfc Messenger, were
conducted quietly but amid more in
tense interest than was ever before
9cen manifested in the hall. The in
terest seemed to be that suppressed
kind which kuows no demonstration
or tumult. The galleries were crowd
ed. Nearly every member of the
house was in his seat, and many Sen
ators came over from that body and
were ranged in 1 lie visitors circle
of the chamber. Silence prevailed
ami the scene bordered on the sol
emn.
Soon after tli2 adoption of the res
olution the House adjourned.
The impeachment proceedings will
be passed without delay. Judge
Warner, who is in the Northern part
of the State, will be recalled to At
lanta, and will preside over the body.
The action taken has created a pro
found sensation in Atlanta.

The Drouth.
The late drouth in this country is
probably the most extensive that has
ever afflicted it. It lias prevailed
everywhere—on the Pacific slope, on
the lakes, on the Gulf and ou the At
lantic. Throughout Uie South, in
Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi and
Georgia, the corn crop was very se
riously injured; in Florida the or
ange crop is said to he a partial fail
ure (or lack of rain; in West Texas
corn and cotton are alike ruined, and
the cattle are suffering for water;
New Jersey reports a similar condi
tion, but in Virginia oxists by far
the worst state of affairs. The drouth
in that state is the greatest since 1845.
The corn crop is totally destroyed,
the tobacco is almost ruined, grass is
lifeless, the very trees are dying,
streams ore drying tip, cattle arc dy
ing of thirst, and mills arc stopped
for want of water. In I’clersburg
prayers arc offered every Sunday in
the churches for rain, and last Thurs
day was observed in several churches
as a day of fasting mid prayer for
rain.
Mr. Mvnatt, of Fulton, said the
Constitution contemplated u passage
of law and not a resolution, and that
88 votes were necessary.
The Speaker announced thnt hr
would decline to decide a constitu
tional law as a parliamentary law and
would leave the House to decide the
question itself.
Mr. Hall, of Spalding, claimed tha'.
the paragraph iu the Constitution
had no application to the present
case, as it was not n contract made
during the late war.
Mr. Paine, of Clintlintn : Here is a
gentleman who says the State owes
him a certain suin' of money. Past
Legislatures have dodged tlie ques
tion. Some hare said the State docs
not owe him and great legal minds
have said the State' docs owe him.
He comes before this body and simp
ly asks the pitiful privilege of sueitig
the State. If you say no, then it ap
pears you are afraid’ the man has a
just claim and will not give him a
chance to appeal to a court jury.
Mr. Cox, of Troup, thought the pas
sage of the resolution would not in
terfere with the constitution. If it
did the question would he raised in
the court and would he decided tip-
on by the presiding Judge. This is
not an obligation to be decided upon
by this boil}’. It is not pronounced
“null and void” by the constitution.
It is to supply a claim.
Messrs. Mvnatt and Halsey also
took positions that a rote of 88 was
necessary to the passage of the reso
lution.
The House, by a vote of yeas and
nays, decided that a vote of 88 was
necessary, and the Speaker decided
that the resolution was lost.
The House then proceeded to the
rending of hills a second time.
