Has Bill Arp Bmi on a “Dish lonntaiiT
Lately ?
In 1867, when Gov. BrowD came ont in
bis famous letter advising ns Georgians to
work under tbe Reconstrnction Acts, to
“accept the situation” and “strike qniek-
ly with onr adversary” lest “worse terms”
might thereafter be pnt upon us, and w;bile
Brown was opposing the democratic polb-
cy of non-action, Bill Arpe (Major C. H.
Smith, of Rome) came out in one of bis in
imitable and amusing letters, and said that
Joe Brown must have been taken to “a
high mountain,” and there shown “bean
tiful things” in the prospect, &c. In a
recent correspondence between the Hon.
Dunlap Scott and Bill Arp (Maj. Smith) it
seems that this gentleman is now not only
a supporter of a Mr. Burnett, a follower of
Joe Brown in 1867 and now tbe Radical
candidate for Congress for the 7tb District,
but that he actually advocated Burnett’s
election in tbe Rome Daily, over the sig
nature of “Flat Woods, or any other ^Tim
ber” and while thus doing so, and having
bis fun. gave Gov. Brown a “sly dig in the
ribs” for “looking,” (as Bill Arpe says)
“for a low rail in the Democratic pen to
jump into it.” And who, reader, do yon

money, of the State, he had on band when

Tbe Senate Journal does not show that
the report of the Committee was adopted
by the Senate, but, Col. Jones, we learn,
designing or ignorant, we trust every pa
per in tbe State will copy or notice the
tame.
In August or September, in 1868, Reso
lutions were adopted in both branches of
the Legislature, for the appointment of a
Joint Committee in each House to exam
ine tbe books, papers, vouchers &c., of ex-
Comptroller Burns, and ex-Treasurer
Jones, and require of tbe latter to acconnt
for all tbe money and Bonds, on hand
when be was removed from office. In the
Senate Measrs. C. R. Moore aud J. M.
Colman were appointed, and in the
House, Messrs. C. C. Duncan, A. H. Lee,
and Dunlap Scott, were appointed, (two
Republicans and three Democrats on tbe
Committee.) Messrs. Burns and Jones
having appeared before tbe Committee
with books, papers, Reports, necessary
vouchers, &c., the Committee, after a
thorough examination of everything,'made
the following unanimous
REPORT.
To the Senate aud House of Representa
tives :
The undersigned Committee, appointed
by a Joint Resolution of the Senate and
Home of Representatives, of tbe State of
Georgia, to examine tbe books of the late
Comptroller General and Treasurer of
Georgia beg leave to make the following
Report:
They have ear fully and minutely exam
ined the books of said officers, with the
accompanying certificates and vonches.
from the date of their last report to the
General Assembly, to the 13th day of Jan
uary, 1868, the time of tbeir removal from
office by tbe military authorities of the
United States.
They find the books of both tbe Comp
troller-General and Treasurer, prope.ly
and neatly kept. The nsnal certificates
sentatives in September, 1S68, will show
that the Report was also adopted by the
House, without a call for the yeas and
nays.
This being tbe case, in September,
1868, Col. Jones proposed to turn over his
vouchers, &c., to tbe “present Treasurer,”
as the Report of tbe Committee provided.
That officer decliued to receive them at the
time. Col. Jones then deposited all of
bis vouchers &c., in a certain Bank in At
lanta, -{and they have been there ever
since) subject to the order of a friend, who
promised to deliver them to the “present
Treasurer,” and take his receipt for the was preached, the delegation repaired
same. Iu consequence of a disagreement
between Gov. Bullock and Treasurer Angier,
of the scene, I could paint a picturisque
that would appear angelic in its form.
On Saturday tbe 21 st of October, a
very large, respectable and fashionable
audience was congregated under a
very pleasant harbor which the citi
zens near the church had tastily con
structed. According to previous ap
pointment at 10 o’clock A. M. Rev*
Mr. Laylor of Nashville, cameiorward
and pointedly preached the introduc*
lory Sermon. Yes, Mr. Editor, it was
now felt that the old ancient thunders
of grecian eloquence were again a-
wakening in this our modern day ;—
and that we had champions for the
rostrumn to cope with those who had
the forum of the Arena in the old Ro
man Senate. Mr. Laylor’s remarks
formerly with their eloquence shaken
were extremely posintand thrilling
and came farward with a force as if to
establish some exalted them. And
though his sermon was brief, he cer
tainly left an impression upon the con
gregation that will long be remember
ed. After the introductory Sermon
and gallant services in defence of our rights ] «ird vouchers for aM receipts and pay-.
and liberties.
This thing puzzles ns. We don’t under
staud it. Hence, we are disposed to ask,
lias Bill Arpe been on “a high mountain”
'“'^lately, and lias h* there seen beantifal
4ings, in the prospect ?
We hope not, trust not—bnt—“Judge

ticnlar item which they desired to investi
gate.
The reports of the Comptroller-General
and Treasurer, which are herewith trans
mitted for the information of the General
Assemby, have been carefully compared
with the books of said Officers, and found
to be correct in every particular.
and that friend as to what should be receipt
ed for—whether the Treasurer should re
ceipt for tbe coupons and other vouchers,
or warrants drown by Governor Jenkins—
this friend was unable to turn over these
papers and get the present Treasurers re
ceipt, But Col. Jones, not willing this
matter should remain unsettled one mo
ment longer than he could help, at the ses
sion in 1S69, (at the suggestion of bis
friend,) had ja Bill introduced in the
House, to require the “present Treasurer”
and tbe Governor, to settle with him, in
accordance with tbe recommendaton of tbe
Joint Committee, of both Houses, and the
action of the Senate and House. Tbe
Bill passed the House, without any opposi
tion bnt was defeated in the Senate main
ly by the exertions of Senator John Har•
nil, of Newton. Since then Col. Jones, hav
ing made every imaginable effort to turn
over his vouchers, and get a receipt, and
failed, he has determined, we believe, to
give himself no further trouble about tbe
to the Church for the purpose of trans
acting such business as was in order
to come before the Association. At 1
o’clock P. M. table cloths were spread
upon the ground and the most deli
cious viands placed upon them, after
which Rev. Mr. Laylor made a few ap
propriate remarks and cordially invited
the congregation to come forward and
satisfy their hunger, which was cheer
fully responded to. After all had feast
ed sumptiously,the delegation again as
sembled in the church for the purpose
of proceeding with their business ;—
when Rev Mr. Morris of Berien Co.,
repaired to the Stand and entertained
the congregation with a very lengthy
Sermon.
At night, persons residing at a dis
tance were entertained by the gener
ous citizens near lhe church. On Sat

The Election in December Cannot be Defeat
ed by Bollock.
The Atlanta Constitution calls atten
tion to the following section of the
Code of Georgia, which, being unre-
pealed by the Akerman election law,
settles the certainty of an election
beyond all controversy and under any
possible contingency :
“If by ten o’clock a. m., on the day
of the election, there is no proper officer
present to hold the election, or there is one
and he refuses, three freeholders
MAY SUPERINTEND THE ELECTION, and
shall administer the oath required to
each other, which shall be of the same
effect as if taken by a qualified officer.”
Sec. 1314, Chapter 2, Title 13, Pt. 1,
I, Code of Georgia, page 253.”
The election under this section, re
marks the Constitution is certain, wheth
er Governor Bullock and the Ordina
ries fail to appoint election managers,
or the Senate refuse to confirm them,
or the managers neglect to discharge
their duties. The election can still go
on under the Code, the object of whose
section above was to provide for just
such risks, and prevent the people from
being deprived of an election at the
proper time.
The Akerman law changes the “prop
er officers” for holding the election,
but leaves in force the statute provid
ing for an election if there are no prop
er officers on hand.
If, therelore, at the election precincts
stated in the Akerman law, there ap
pears no managers by ten o’clock, let
three freeholders proceed to hold the
election.
Let us be prepared for every con
tingency, and lose nothing by de
fault.

A GENTLE WHISPER TO
MOTHERS.—If unfortunately you
have lost your own teeth by neglect
or mismanagement, take care that your
daughters do not suffer the same pen
alty from the same cause. See to it
that they brush their teeth regularly
and thoroughly with Sozodont, and
thereby you will insure them sound
and serviceable sets as long as they
live.

SPOTTED LIKE DOMINOES.
—The teeth soon become speckled if
every defilement is nol removed from
them every twenty-four hours. To do
this effectually, there is nothing like j
Sozodont. It literally renders the
enamel impervous and indestructible.
