The Governor and the Legisla

The House of Representatives re

J. W. Nelms, principal koepor of the

his impeachment was recommended.
The rote stood 116 to 17, and was a

the House in the Gorornor. As a
further expression of their confidence

A member of the Constitutional

the discussion on the question of fix-
ing the salary of the State Treasurer
at fSflCO, that “a man who would
give a $300,000 bond for a 12,000 of-
fice is either a fool or a knave.” The
remark is tall of wisdom and sound
political economy, and commends
itself to our lawmakers.

An exchange, the Sparta Ishmael

‘The Southern man who truckles to

We are in favor a new Constitution,
one that will do away with the prince
ly salaries paid to the sinecure offices
of the Government Intact, we think
it would be a wise thing to make the
ambitious man pay for the privilege
of holding the office. These high and
honorable places should be let out to
the highest bidder. The poor, bur
dened, debt-ridden people can no
longer afford to pay men to accept
high positions of honor and trust.
. _ . IP* Keeper
the Penitentiary be transmitted to
his Excellency the Governor, tarsucb
action as be may deem proper.
In view of the late and sometimes
violent attacks on the Governor, this
action of the Legislature was a com
plete and glorious vindication.—
Twice has he thus been vindicated by
the Representatives of the people.—
One time, in the face of a bitter op
position and cruel slander that
amounted almost to persecution, he
demanded a moat searching Investi
gation Into bis conduct, and out of
the ordeal came forth unscathed with
the tall endorsement of his character
and integrity upon the part of the
Committee and House. Again, the
House has given him a strong ex
pression of their confidence and re
gard, and vindicated his character.
These are unanswerable arguments
against the flings and attacks made
upon the Governor from various
quarters. The same Legislature which
made able, impartial, and earnest ex
amination of various departments of
the Government, exhumed their rot
tenness, and brought to punishment
the guilty, and whose reports have
been accepted by the papers that op
posed the Governor, and commended
for their truth, patriotism and jus
tice, gave equally as searching inves
tigation into the charges against the
Governor; and returned a verdict
more unanimous than any they made
in the other departments, completely
vindicating his action and character.
Candor compels those papers to ac
cept this report if they do the others,
and if they continue their attacks it
must be through an unreasonable
prejudice that refuses to be convinced
by the plainest proof.

Conciliation, So-called.
The conciliatory policy that many
Southern journals have long pursued
towards the North has declined into
a cringing cowardice that is pitiable
to behold. We believe in a moder
ate course ia all things, and deprecate
passionate discussions, political abuse
and sectional wrangling. But when
the fear of what the Northern public
or papers may aay or think is so great
sa to prevent a free and tall expres
sion of opinion or statement of tact
ia itself true and undeniable, ther.
moderation become* weakness and is
a pitiful lack of independence and
manhood.
If we have abuses, social or politi
cal, at the South, it is the duty of the
prees to discuss them thirty and free
ly, without partisan spirit or politi
cal ill-humor. If there are things in
our civilization of which we are
ashamed, or which are tacts of gen
eral notoriety, they are the proper
subjects of journalistic discussion
and a trembling fear of Northern
opinion or mawkish sentimentality
should not deter the press from its
publication. We hare long been of
the opinion that such an abject coarse
was productive of no good. If the
Southern prees tries to hide abuses
and cover op things which they fear
the too-phmrisaical North would not
exactly approve of, sdeb endeavor
only mokes them appear pitifully
weak and unmanly. Such a course
neither wins the respect nor challeng
es the attention ofthe Northern peo
ple, and so far as it Is intended to
benefit the South, is entirely nselew.
Our enemies at the North do not need
to be tarnished tacts from the South
ont of which to manufacture their
abuse. The great injury the t do us
is in misrepresenting ns, and they
manuthctuife lies and slander* ont of

“Poor Wash Goldsmith.’*
Probably no man has ever been
subjected to the public humiliation
which has come upon the late comp
troller-general and received so much
generous sympathy as he. Since the
public have come to realize the crash
ing character of the judgment passed
upon him the sorrow lor hit condi
tion has been almost universal, -and
certainly genuine. However strictly
just may have been the imposition of
the sentence, it has excited the pro-
foundcst pity for its victim.
One fact may he here meutloued to
his credit. Since it became evident,
during the progress of the trial, that
his conviction was certain he has made
forced sacrifice of many of his most
valuable interests and within the
past few days paid into the treasury
upwards of 112,000 in cash to balance
:ry charge for money that the state
has claimed against him. He has en
deavored to wipe ont every dime of
possible indebtedness to the public
treasury and it is believed that these
payments do cover them all, if not
more.
It was to«tate these facts that Judge
Hopkins, on Thursday, before the
sentence had been determined, de
sired to address the senate. He de
sired them to know that the unfortu
nate man had voluntarily sought to
make every possible amend and res
titution to the commonwealth.
Mr. Goldsmith’s friends cling to
their faith in him and have advised
him to go bravely forward as a man
to retrieve in public estimation his
character for honesty and patriotism,
now prostrated, as they believe,
through the schemes of designing men
who gained his confidence only to
rnin him.”

lug or the gravest charges preferred
on the slightest grounds at all, that
they make very little impression on
us, except that of pity for the calum
niators, and sorrow for the stato of
publlo mind which calls for and en
joys such things; and we are greatly
confirmed in a habit previously
formed of refusing to believe evil o*f
auv until it has beon proven.
We know very liltle about the pen
itentiary system of Georgia as a sys
tem, and have at present nothing to
say either for or againAt it. Nor do
wc know anything of tho condition
and treatment of- the convicts at tho
various points where they are placed,
except at one point, of which we shall
E rcsently speak. Of course wehav i
card tho wretched rumors with
which it is the fashion to load the air
in these evil days. They may or may
not bo true; probably not. '
But sume tilings we do know, and
concerning these, we speak positive
ly. We have visited the branch of
the penitentiary at the Dade coni
mines, under charge of ex-Governoi-
Joscph E. Brown; much of what wc
shall say about it is the result of per
sonal observation; the rest of our in
formation is from official sources,
and we are willing to be held person

Down in Georgia they have laws
defining with great clearness the du
ties of their various state officers, so
that every man who is put in a re
sponsible position knows exactly what
ho ought to do and what ho ongbt
uot to do. Then the people of Geor
gia have somehow or other got an
idea into tljeir beads that these laws
are made to be enforced, in case they
happeu to be violated. Another sin
gular circumstauce is that the legis
lature, possessing the power of Im
peachment, has an unpleasant way of
exercising that power whenever an
official b shown to be guilty of mis
feasance in the performance of his
duties. This makes it hard on state
treasurers and the like who tall into
the habit of perverting tbc public
funds to their own use, and what
makes it still harder b that the gov
ernor is one of those stiff-necked,
unreasonable men who wont permit
a crooked official to escape the pen
alties of impeachment by resigning.
Queer state of things down in Geor
gia; but we are not so certain after
all that some other states we know of
might not have profited by following
her example.
A writer in the Atlanta Dispatch
says: “Among tho many statesman
like and meaning sayings of Robert
Toombs, none tarries greater weight
or deeper principle than the follow
ing, that ‘Gold, in Us last analysis, is
but the sweat ot tho poor.’ ” * How
often mast wc identify this thing?—
Lncien Bonaparte is the author of the
following proverbial sentence: “Gold
in its last analysis, is tbo sweat of the
poor and the blood of the brave.”—
—Augusta Chronicle.
And “Bob Toombs” b so fond of
the “people,” the “poor,” that lie has
accumulated a half a million dollars
worth of their “sweat” and bangs to
it with death-like grip.

. are able-bodied men; there are
no women among them, aud none are
allowed; the contract with the State
requires that the above number of
convicts shall be supplied to tho Dade
coal compiny for twenty, years; and
none are sent to this place except
those, who, haviug committed very
great crimes, arc sentenced for long
periods. Most of them are negroes
or mulaltocs, but there are some
white men, and all are treated exact
ly alike, with no distinction on ac
count of race, color, or previous con
dition, or future prospects, or social
relations. Death and penitentiary
are great levclcrs, and in this case
they arc equally so.
Certain compensations are allowed
for good co iduct or in cases of sick
ness, bujt for no other reasons. The
rewards of merit are equally accessi
ble to all. But no soft places are pro
vided for any. No carpeted rooms,
no separate lodgings and no private
tables are allowed. All, whether
black or white, high or low, must
take their ch&nco together. Little
luxuries, such as tobacco, etc., are al
lowed to convicts, if their friends
choose to supply them. Sometimes
a small compensation in money is al
lowed to the convicts for extra work,
if they choose to do it One or two
positions in the service are easier
than the rest; this arises from neces
sity, and the places are filled on the
ground of capacity aud merit.
PUNISHMENTS.
It is no slander, we suppose, to say
that these three hundred men are a
gang of scoundrels; men of nio t
abandoned and desperate charactoi;
men on most or all of whom inori I
influences have bat little effect, anl
who cannot be controlled except by
fear of brute force. In cases of in
subordination the convicts are whip
pod. But only ono man is allowe 1
to do the whipping; this is the cap
tain of the guard. If punishment
should be excessive or improper
would be discovered and the wrong
doer should be discharged.
THE-LABOU.
The law requires that these con
victs shall bo “confined at hard la
bor,” and the labor is hard; it is very
hard; no one would suggest that it is
not hard enough. On the other hand,
it is not cruel; and the best proof of
this is found in the fact thatanv num
ber of men in the vicinity and else
where can be hired to do exactly the
same labor sido by side with the con
victs for a dollar and a quarter and a
dollar and a half a day
- Tho tare is abundant in quantity,
and is as follows: Good sound bacon
twice every day, except occasionally
when fresh meat is substituted for it;
good corn bread three times a day;
syrup once a day, at night; fresli
vegetables every day in the year, and,
through the season, watermelons once
a week. The Dade coal company has
a largo garden or small farm il may
be called, wl ‘ ‘ ’
calculated to promote
longevity. Tho disheartening pros
pect of ten or twenty years confine
ment would shorten tho life of almost
any man. Under all .the circum
stances, tbo death rate is lower than
could be expocted. Ministers of the
gospel are allowed free access to the
convicts, and divine service is held
with them every Sunday. It itneed-
less to say that labor it suspended on
this day.
OUR OPINION.
As before stated we have no opin
ion to express as to the merits or de
merits of our penitentiary system;
nor have we anything to say about
any branch of the penitentiary other
than the one above described, be
cause we know nothing about tho
others; but as to the penitentiary at
the Dade coal mine we speak know
ingly and advisedly. In onr opinion
the treatment of the prisoners at this
place is wise, just and humane, and
their general condition jnst what It
ought to be. We see no point where
we could suggest an improvement.—
We have seen other penitentiaries,
bnt have never seen one which we
think would compare favorably with
this; and we doubt whether there is
a better one in the world. Somehow
or other it always seems to happen in
these latter days that whenever we
say anything favorable of anything,
(that is, of anything near home), there
is a certain class of peoplo who think
that we are mistaken—that is the ex
pression used for euphony—mistak
en. Well t The facts' in this case can
be easily ascertained, and if we have
misrepresented them, our mistake
can bo easily exposed. This risk, if
risk it may be called, we cheerfully
tako.
Bnt we close with the declaration
that any statement which contradicts
anything of importance that we have
said, may be classed witli the reports
of Bishop Haven.
