Nor can it he the offspring of a “wliate.” It so resembles your Excellency’s head as to cast suspicion on the legitimacy of its birth. “Albus” again asserts that this office was certainly vacant, ‘‘unless a vessel must be once filled and 'poured out be fore it can be empty.” YVithout determi ning how a vessel cau he poured out, it is sufficient to answer that, if the Legis lature has declared that the Judges shall bo appointed, not by the Governor alone, nor by the Senate alone, but by Governor and the Senate, even ‘‘Albus’ will admit that the vessel cannot be legally filled by the Governor alone, nor by the Senate alone, hut that it requires the concurrence of both. Your power to fill a vacant office must not be inferred from your ability to fill eu empty pU-80. The act organizing the Court points out in words of no uncertain sound, how these Judges shall be ap-! ionship and pointed; and the Constitution has noth j him (with tl ing to do with the question.

Af ter the office is thus filled, should a va- company.’’ During the b cancy occur by death, resignation, pro motion, impeachment, or otherwise, then, and not till then, will your constitutional form to fill vacancies come into play.

With that lack of discrimination which has pre vented yon from distinguishing the pub* lie treasure from your own, you seem to be unable to tell where your power ends, and the Senate’s begins; and you have, therefore, assumed to fill those offices without the consent of the Senate. It is possible you may have taken coun sel of high judicial authority, and the question may be prejudged. It is proba ble, you consulted your own heart and attempted, through some of your ap pointees, to regain by a venal judiciary the strength your party has lost in the in his boots—which indicates that a good I General Assembly-, i lie fact in either deal of fertilizers arc being slli d I remains unaltercd--your are guilty ° of usurpation! or may bpjffiey thought “The better the . , . . . , . , J 1 ' , , „ 3 rue in Atlanta there is a Constitution* will, therefore, review one of day the better the cccd. , - , . . . a , . , ' j at, fight against tilth ami corruption, but then there is an Era of falsehood, The evidence given in by the wit- j and a clover little bastard child.

But you assumed that the judgeships were vacant and therefore, you had the right!) fill litem. An apologist, over the signature of “Albus,” siiences all comets by asserting that it is quibbling to say- these offices were not vacant.

Let us pause a moment at its tomb. Peace to its ashes!—the world will never see its like again. So harmless; when asleep; most determined even when bonds were most expected; so devoted to your Ex ccllency and the public treasury; so uni ted by “the cohesive power of public plunder;” of each of its majority, who resisted everything except temptation, it may he said in praise, “he was as mild a mannered man as over scuttled ship or cut a throat.” Let us inscribe an epi taph, which your Excellency will ads mire, and then pass on. Nil tdigit, non ccpit. An apologist, ignorant of your charac ter and administration, might, through charity, infer that your assumption of the power to appoint these Judges was from an error of Judgment in oonstru ing the law. But w-e now come to a feature in that action which silences all apologists. It has no key, no hypothe sis except in turpitude. I need not ex plain to you that I refer to the character of some of your appointees to that office of vast powers for good or evil; I will cite hut one instance at preseat in preof of this charge. I allude to the nomina tion of one of your bosom companions to the Judgeship of the district composing hatharn, Effingham and Bryan. The people of Georgia have been educated to believe that the Judiciary is the last bulwark of their freedom. They hare, heretofore, seen their Executive officer select rnen of high moral character, of legal attainments, if not ol acknowledg ed ability, to fill judicial offices.

Your defense means that, or it ! is a confession ol your guilt. Would [ you assert that every Governor of Geor gia is qualified for the bench? You thus attempt to insult an injur’d people ! by retorting what you know to be un j true, as an excuse for a high misde- i meaner. Y*ou know that following the leadership i f unwise counsellors in 1SG7 1 and’68, die good people oi Chatham and the State allowed the elections t,.* ! go by default, that a large number, under j the registration fraud was disfranchised; j that many more refused to register, and '< that the election was cairied by- negroes who, tickled at the novelty, voted again j aud again. As the head of the Radical I party in Geergia, you know there arc,: barely whites enough to fill the offices, | while the rauk and file, more honest and respectable, but more stupid, are a!! ne- : groes. And yet you affect to justify a crime on the ground that you have only j sought to continue honors which tlie pec-1 pie of Chatham first conferred. As well j might Arnold have been made comman der in chief after his treason, because he j had once been honored with an inferior i position. As well might Judas have I been translated to Heaven after taking j the thirty pieces of silver, because he j had before been one of the disciples. As j weil might your Evcellency except the j confidence of even tlie negroes in Gcor- ! gia, after y-our record as Governor, be- j cause they were once duped by your j treacherous smile. After such a defense you need no marble bust to perpetuate your genius. Nature foreseeing your j greatucss has saved posterity that ex-[ pense.
