To iiy Political TrieoU an>l Uu Pmj&oJ (,c*/rgia :
I have this day rec-iv-d informat on, the truth of
which I cannot doubt, that the po iticsl con-pi:a;on
who seek the overthrow, not only of the reconstruct
ed Government of Georgia, bnl of the United States,
have secured the pledges of a sufficient namber of the
incoming member* of the lower House of the General
Asm mbly to vote, without previous investigation, for
article* of impeachment again*: me, immediately
after they have aaMmblcd andorvaniaed. on Wednes
day the first d*y of November next; and. that having
adopted su< h article* in the House, a sufficient num
ber of Republican Senators will he unseated to insure
conviction upon t earticles so presented.
I also learn that the Judge of tne Supreme Court,
who i# personally and politically bitt-.rly bos'ile to
me. ha* informed h:a frienus that tlits progratnm-
has been perfected and that he has been aeketed to
preside over toe Senate dunng the trial, and that the
Senator representing General Toombs* District is to
be elected President of the Senate and immediately
announce him** If a* and claim to be. Governor
during the pending impeachment, and thereafter for
the ba ance of my unexpired term. Upon this stare
of fact# 1 have decided to resign the office of Gover
nor. to taka effect before the meeiin/and qualification
of the new members of the nvw b dy, a- d thereby
defeat this nefarious scheme of these desperate
poli ical conspirators
Iiy this cours# I shall protect my polit’cal friends
in the 8en*t**, from the expuli
ordained in order to »ecur*i rny imp*.achment, and at
the same time save the State from the disaster# tnat
would he sure to follow in the wake of snecess on the
part of the unp*rdoned and nnrepen’ant rche' leaders,
who, though compara'ivt-ly few in numbe s, more the
ma-st-s by the irresistible pressure of eectiouhl liate
and social proscription.
I have maintained my official position against the
assaults of these poopk* upon the cause of Equal
Right# and Republican Government, just a# long a* it
is porcihle for me to be of service, and bow, for the
purpose of again d< foaling this latest on-
shiught of these destroyers I have resigned
this office in the [Lund* of tha: noble and
unswerving frieud of Right and Jus ice, the lion.
Hcnjumin Conley, who, under the Constitutios, by
reason of being now the Tresidrut of the Seuate, be
comes Governor during tne nnexpirt-d part of r.iy
term, or until a succe-sor is appointed hy the people.
No charge ha* a* yet been brought against him, be
cause he ha* n t heretofore been tupposed to oe an
obstacle in the way of the conspirators’ success. If
•sault* are now made upon him, the country will un-
•r-taiid the purpose for which they are made.
A* for myself. bei**g divested of official jmsition,
the cuarges of of every character which these people
ire to make and proclaim agr.it *t me can be

from any judicial enquiry that i* divested of political
bias and prejudice. May I he pardoned tor a word of
warning to the men who fought for the I'niou? Six
mouths ago. in Georgia, the mas* of the people were
julescout in the r suits of the war and were willing
to accept tho-e result* a* being fina ities. Rat under
the later public teaching of certain old leader*, who
»t be named, the whole situation has changed,
and leading gentlemen, even in the Democratic party,
who dared to s|»eak In favor of acquiescence and

If evideuceof this were wanting, we need hut point
to the public and private utterance* of those who were
foremost in secession and rebellion, and now denounct
an t ignore the fundamental law—the C'onstitvtios

take care before il i* too late to prevent anothe*' war

■ucy had been po-tpone I until after the meet
ing of the incoming b nly of legislator* the Execu
tive branch of our state government would have been
absorbed by thecouspirr.torsin the Legislative branch,
and there would have been no check upon the whok-
p*nl an*! detraction of all the great mer»r~es
of reform and progress that we have labored so hard
n e*tihli*h.
The Free Ncliool system wnuM he abolished, the
t.lored citizen dented every right guaranteed to him,
n«: .he whole work of Internal Improvement carried
n hy Northern capital would lie swept nwav. The
rowing spirit of lawnet<«nc*s and pro cription for
pinion* sake is daily rendering the property and
live* of Union men and Republicans, more ami more
'nfe, and I fear the worst consequences if the Ex
ecutive office stiould be filled by one nor only in sym
pathy with those who urge on and infl-inie this feel-
hut wli * i* moved and actuated by them With
no one iu the Executive office to call upon the general
Government for protection, its friends an ! supporters

For these r»a on# I have determined o:i this step be
lieving that much that has already heen accomplished
can be prcsc-vcd through the wise and firm check up
on revolutionary im n*nre# that will be given by C >

Sinking Fast.—Pale, miserab’e, discour
aged, without relish for food, w ithout energy
enough for exertion, yet w iili no acute pain,
or other specific indication of disease, how
often do we see feeble invalids fading as it
were out of life without any apparent cause.
We say of them that they are “sinking fast,”
or “sinking gradually,’’ as the case may i>e.
But there is no good reason why they should
sink at all. Persons in this dead-alive state
simply want invigorating and vitalizing.
Nature, in a state of torjjor, demands help.
Bring ou* the reserve of vitality in tne sys
tem, brace the nerves; tone the stomach,
break up the morbid trance of body and
mind wiih a course of Hosteller's Momuca
Bitters. It can be done. It has been done
in thousands of instances. The effect upon
the enervated frame is electric. Never give
up, however languid and broken down. Re
member that for the exhausted, the debili
tated, the desponding, this powerful vegeta
ble restorative is a genuine elixir. It i# not
a mere stimulcnt that provokes a transient
ilasli of vigor in the system, and then leaves
it in a more depressed condition than before.
It removes the causes of debility by altering
the secretions, and regulating the action of
thst has be:n for#* j tlie internal organs, well as rt-informing
them, it is a particularly valuable medicine
at this season, because it is nn antidote to the
malaria which produces intermit tent fever,
bilious colic an.l other disorders of the
bowels prevalent in the fall.

*’W Eat to Lrvr.,” says a distinguished
writer oa the 1;
wisely of wha<
us to enjoy in a proper way, we shall live
well, .live * Healthfully, and live long. We
must adapt our food to our occupations and
temperaments. For instance, ministers of
the Gospel, lawyers, doetors, and editors, do
not retpiire pt»rk and l>eans, «>r bacon and
greens twice a tlav, as does the man who
plits rails, or cuts cord-word. Fortunately,
he great Creator has wisely implanted
within its a self-acting instinct, to which, it
will but defer, we shall rarely eat that
which will not assimilate in the stomach,and
make fresh, vigorous blood, with which to
nourish our bodies and prolong our days.
Take one wine glass full of Plantation
Bitters, once or twice a day, and obey this
self-acting instinct, and n full score of years
will Ik* added to' vottr life.

In view #f the flight of Mr. Biilloek from the Execu
tive chair? That body meet* on Monday. Mr.
Conley, under hi* oath of installation yesterday, ex
ercize* tlie Executive power* of tlie Government.
Thi# is hi* right, and so he will continue until n suc
cessor i* elected and qualified. Thi* continnancc in
• fflee may not be right, but right or wrong he will
continue; wemty d pend on it. To-morrow a uenr
President of the Senate will be elee'ed. Eo in*tantt
upon hi# election, hr will be entitled to be sworn in
a* Governor for the time being. But Paragraph
Fourth, of Section Owe, Article Fourth of the
State Constitution admit* of a construction
th*t would lead to a different result. It provide# that
in case of the death, resignation or disability of the
Governor, the President of t:.o Senate shall exercise
the Executive power# of the Government until rutli
disability be removed, or hi* successor i# elected and
qualified. The President of the Senate, Mr. t’on'ey,
and hi* ro-adjutor*. say. tbut is, lie, who at the
time of the resignation wa* President of the Senate,
•hall hold until a successor i* elected rnd qualified.
This construction keep* Mr. Conley in, and this is the
construction under which he wiil refuse to vacate in
favor of the President elect of the Senate, on Monday.
Bit the same paragraph give# pawti to the General
Assemb'y to provide by law for tilling nnexpired
term* by a special election. Mr. Bull *ck’:
is a* yet unexpired Mr. Couley hold* out and
can have no pretext for holding longer until the un
expired term i* Ailed l*y special election. Now let
the General Assembly, without delay, enact a law
bringing on a special election, giving earnest hoed
to perfect aud uni\er*al fairness at the polls. Let
the true man of the Mate who watt to save what rem
nant of liberty we yet have, pnt forward a safe man,
m -rally erect and incorruptible, firm, ycl temperate
and discreet, and Mr. Conley, w ho certainly will hold
until that time, must then give place to that man.
B.it supposing Conly to veto the act providing for a
special election! Sufficient uuto the day. etc. B.it
the pressure of universal public sentiment and the
dictate* of a common conscience will lead the bill or* r

Meanwhile let u* watch lest the election of a r.cw

I'iuiuck—Terrible lime*.
A correspondent of the New York World
gives the following:
The women and ck*!dren on the south
side gem-rally L- d time to dress before es
caping, bu*. on the north side the fire ran
*»uch a race of death that thousands leaped
from the doors and windows with nothing ou
but the s mpLtfinight apparel. It was not an
uucouinitia thing to see a woman in her night
dress rushint^io ihc tire aud joining in the fu-
liIt* efforts ar resistance. At the burning of
the Catholic Orphan Asylum on Huron street
a brave woman sprang upon tlie roof in noth
ing Hut a night gown, and poured water upon
the Ureas men brought it trom the cistern.
THE MORTAL PAS0.
The most horrible of all the horrible tilings
I have heard of is the driving from their beds
of several women enricnic and their confine
ment in the streets A woman in this con
dition was dragged from a burning bed on
Ohio street, north side, her arms,'face and
breast covered with blisters. She was wrap-
fed in a carpet and borne to the north branch
on the hanks of which she was delivered of
stout in.de child. As t'ie wails of tlie child
ro>e .on the familiar air the wails of the
inothersulfeided to sighs and the sighs ceased.
As tin* poor woman attained an earthly suc
cessor iu this material world she vanished to
the land of stalls. This i* by no means an
isolated case. A woman was talo n from a
shanty on Water street and was delivered iu
a wagon, but both mother and .child lived,
and both escaped the lire. There were also
three cases ot premature births in the park.
“HUNGER AND NAKEDNESS.”
Iii sevara! instances women rushal from
burning buildings enveloped in an aureole
of flame—their clothing on lire from neck to
ankle. In some cases these were tolled on
the ground and tlie lire smothered: they
were wrapped in blankets when blankets
were accessible; but three of four more that
I have heard of were saved only hy being de
prived of every vestige of their clothing by
strong hands. Of course some of them de
clared that they had rather die than to be
exposed in the streets; but “ life is more
than raiment,"—so tlie men thought.
A HOOD BATCH.
In Ontario street, near Clark, where the
lire suddenly leaped across westward through
the north division, a baby ten months old
ua ? thrown from u fourth-story window and
caught in a blanket by men congregated be
lt.w. li started head downwards, like Sam
Patch in his last leap, but gradually regained
tlie perpendicular, and alighted on its feet
iike an athlete. The infant wai somewhat
worried for breath at first, and couldn’t
sen am worth a cent in its new woollen cra
dle, last it gradually recovered equilibrium,
H-'r.i in five minutes was serenely sticking its
thumb. The father climbed down by the
tin wab r-pijf - at the corner of the building.

Sixty-seven thousand four hundred and fifty
I dollars and ten cents has been expended on
On every yard of I lie beach and water fell
flaming faggo:* in a deadly sliower. In all
directions hair was singed and the upper Lot
eloihing set on fire. The fugitives backed
into the water ami faced the fire at bay, and
stood so near together that they could extin
guish each other. “Put me oht!” “ Put me
out!” was hear.! on all sides,and women who
were unusually exposed, or whose garments
were exceptionably inflammable, were re
peatedly dipped in the water by their neigL-
bors. Boys and girls burrowed in the sand
up to their necks, close to the water, and
l ived tin ir heads and faces constantly. Ba
bies were frequently dipped, to their utter
wonder sin l annoyance. A few hundred of
these prisoners improvised a raft and paddled
tiff' into the lake, where they were subse
quently picked up by a vigilant tug. The
rest were finally released. After the build
ings had become a heap of ruins, and after
standing four hours in the water, they found
a new refuge to the northward towards Lin
coin Park; a gypsy-looking army, with their
clothing well ventilated aud charred, and
fares blistered, and carrying with them tlie
little nothings the}* had saved.
WAGON ON FIRE.
A curious sight was the burning of wagon-
loads of goods on the streets after they had
been snatched from burning buildings. There
was fire overhead everywhere; not only on
the red low clouds the scudded across the hot
roofs, but in the million faggots that fell
everywhere, carrying a blaze every instant to
some new quarter. 1 Many wagon-loads were
kindled in this way behind astonished drivers,
compelling instant action, and sometimes
quick desertion. One case of that sort was
especially .dramatic and startling. A woman
who had to be deprived of her clothes to save
her life was given refuge in a wagon-load of
furniture that was moving out of Kinizie
street, she crouching snugly between two
beds. They had gone three blocks, fighting the
aerolites as they fell, when, horrors! a featli
er bed caught tire from one of the insidious
embers, and the wagon was in flames. They
were now, however, beyond the edge of ad
vancing fire, and the mortified and heart
broken passenger was htwried into a bouse
where she shared the hospitality of her sex,
WHAT CIDER DID.
One more building that remains, an oasis
in a bleak and black Sahara, is a small, white,
wooden cottage on Lincoln place. A police
man named Bellinger lived here. He hauled
up the sidewalk, raked up the leaves and
burned them, hewed down the fence and car
ried it into the house, in pieces, and notified
his neighbors that, live or die, he would stick
to that house. The fire advanced and gave
battle. It flung torches into his porch,
hurled them through the windows, it began
and kept up a hot bombardment of flaming
hot upon the roof. He met it at every point.
with hands and boots, with water and wet
blankets, and finally as tlie last wave of fire
enveloped the building in a sirocco and whirled
through the crackling tree tops and gyrated
madly over the adjacent walls and waved
and whirled over the smoking roof, Bellin
ger cast a pail into his cistern and it was dry
The blankets were on lire. Then the Beilin
ger genius rose triumphant. He assaulted
liis cider barrels, and little by little, emptied
their contents on the roof. It was the coup
de guerre. It gave him victory. His blank
ets were scorched, his hands blistered, his
boots distorted, and bis cider spilled, but his
house was saved. And Bellinger has gone
taking boarders.

In “the domestic life of Thomas Jeffer
son.” the grand-daughter of Jefferson relates
a Yankee trick that Ts not well known in his
tory. When M r. Jefferson died (July 4,18261,
an enthusiastic Democrat and neighbor, ot
Albemarle. Virginia, observed that Jefferson,
by dying on the Fourth of July, had raised
himself and his party one st* p higher in the
temple of fame. When the rumor reached
this partisan, a few days later, that Adams
also had died on that day, he exclaimed, in a
passion, that “it was a *d—d Yankee trick.”

Whereas, The Annual Fair of (ht* State Ag

1871, lias proven a divided buret's; the in-
dustrial interests of the* Empire State have
here liven represented, and the exhibition ha*
increased tlie admirulion and love of every
Georgian for his grand old State; the gnmndt
and buildings for exhibition prvjwired by tba
vity of Macon we lielicve unequalled in the

Unsolved, That wc congratulate tlie citi
zens ol the State, und the members of the
Society on the rapid inarch of progress of
our beloved State, as demonstrated by this
Fair.
Resolved, That the thanks of the C'ommit-
i* nnd the Society are tint*, aud hereby
tendered, to the city of Macon, for the hearty
J, ipport, and material aid given the Society.
K'solvcd, That to May.»r Huff this Com
tuitti c cannot expre." tlieir thanks in term*
too trong for bis individual efforts in behalf
of the Society, and for his courtesy and j*>-
,! ‘et»css to this IkkI)*.
Resolved, That the most faithful, constant
and untiring watchfulness and devotion of
lencral A. H. Colquitt to thei ntercsts of the
M»ei( ty, has won our entire confidence, and
given assurance of the future successor our
Society.
K-.* .clved, Tlmt wc, the committee, return
our thanks to General Colquitt, and in parting
with him until our next meeting in February
assure him of our high regards and best
idio> for his happiness and well living.
Resolved, That the thanks of this commit

Colonel John Rutherford, of Macon, for the
very superior nnd excellent domestic wine

Secretary furnish Mrs. Rutherford with a
copy of this resolution.

Committee.
The State Executive Committee assembled
in Macon on the 27lh, and had a full and free
consultation. Tlie following resolutions were
adopted:
Resolved, That the fruits of the victory
achieved at the December election cannot lie
secured without thorough organization. We
reiterate Uu* opinion previously expressed by
this committee that men of character anil
ability should lie nominated for office, and it
should lie regarded as a patriotic duty to sup
port and elect thc.n, though individual pre
ferences have to Im- abandoned.
Resolved, That the |>cnp)c of Georgia and
this committee have an abiding confidence
that the Democratic Legislature, soon to a*•
soluble, will In* guided by “Wisdom, Justice
und Moderation ;” that its action will In* dis
creet, its enactments jiM, and its administra
tion honest and economical.
Resolved, That this committee lielicve the
reports of the existence of Ku-Klux or other
secret political organizations in this State,
which have, induced Congress to take actb n
on that subject, ate wltoily unfounded. Th it
there have been acts of lawlessness and vio
lence cannot lx* denied, lint they have not
been instigated by any partisan motive or
feeling. The ili-advi. ed tuc of the pardon
ing power, by which notorious criminals
have been relieved from the punishment due
to their crimes, has, in some instances, excitad
persons to acts of violence which would uot
have otherwise occuirctl, and which we un
hesitatingly condemn and disapprove.

complete such a building in such stringent
[timesas we have bud for the past few year*;
but.President Cox, with a will ami determi
nation that always win success, < ommenced
work, and it now stands uu ornament to
community. Located in a l*cuiitiful
I grove, with handsome grounds, and almost
centrally in tow n, and yet sufficiently retired
for such nn institution,it is a very attractive
building. It is a l uge two-story budding,
with a front of fifty four feet and length of
■evenly-two. TJic concert hull,on the second

llatcd, in every particular, and well .adapted

The entire building is remarkably well suit-
|cd for the various exercises of a female col-
llnside and outside is handsomely fin
ked; and, taking into consideration many
[embarrassing circumstances, the work ha*
lieen pul through with great rapidity by Mr.
Rhodes, the contractor, who is a first-
work mail—honest, energetic, and reli
able. Wc hope he may be induced to settle
n our midst.
The opening of the fall term lias been bet-
[tcr than at any previous term since the war;

guardians, at a distance, are being received
for board and tuition for tlieir daughters nnd

^r, Oct. 20.
Secretary of ttec Senate.
Wc are assured that twelve efficient and
experienced men, including the Secretary and
his assistants, can do all the work required
promptly and readily. This has been done
and can lie done again.
If Mr. James S. Walker, of this place, who
is a candidate for Secretary of the Senate at
its ensuing organization, should be elected,
he promises to demonstrate the truth of this
statement. Under the late L. II. Kenan, Sec
retary in 1803-4, there never was more
than twelve in the officx*. Mr. Wal
ker then had charge of the engrossing
and enrolling departments, aud was always
prompt in his duties; and, if elected, we ven
ture to sat* there will not lie found one in the
State mere familiar with all tlie duties,
and details of the office, or ready and efficient
in tlieir discharge.
We,therefore,commend him to the consid
eration of the Senate, feeling assured that no
corruption or wasteful expenditure of the pub
lic money will Ut.found in his office. The
earnest duty of the presentLegialalure to select
men of known competency, experience, and
integrity for every office, and thu- purify the
public se.rvice which so sadly needs it.—La-
