SPIRIT Of THE GEORGIA I'RESS.
Referring to the refusal of Got.
Dix, of New York, to interfere in
behalf of Foster, the car-hook mur
der, who has been convicted and sen
tenced to death, the Savannah Re
publican regards the action of the
Governor in the light of reassurance
of protection to life, but abhors the
many forms of justifications for mur
der which characterize the decisions
of juries, and says:
\\\ must stop these miserable ideas
of justification, and so amend our
laws that specific crimes shall hav
specific punishments—and the press
should educate the public to such a
dr ad of this increasing evil, that in
self-defense they will be prompt as
jurymen to be fear ul ol their own
gaiety to-morrow, as they are tender
hearted to the criminal of to-day.
The .Savannah Advertiser con
demns in strong terms the President
for appointing W. W. Holden post
master at Raleigh, in the face of the
fact that he, while Governor of North
Carolina, in consequence of flagrant
malfeasance, was impeached, con
victed, deposed from office, and de
clared forever disqualified from hold
ing any position ot honor or trust
uuder the fetate government. That
gays:
The administration of public affairs
in North Carolina under Holden was
inexpressibly disgraceful, and resulted
in the imposition up n the tax-payers
of millions of dollars ol fraudulently
contracted debLs. He was disgraced
by the wiLes ol Republicans, but lias
found a constant friend in the Presi
dent, who now shows equal disregard
of his own professions and of public
opinion in appointing him to a lucra
tive and responsible office.
The Augusta Constitutionalist re
ferring to the policy of the President
iu regard to Louisiana affairs, and
the condemnation of it by the Senate
report of the Committee on Privileges
and Elections, says:
The whole subject is one not to be
lightly discu sed, or indifferently
passed by. When such flagrant usur
pation provokes stern rebuke from
Northern minds, how can the South
ern people be otherwise than indig-

The Columbus Enquirer believes
that the National Rond and Rank
system is the most unjust, unequal,
Oppressive and dangerous establish
ment that the Government ever cre
ated or maintained. That paper
gays:
It is a system ol sectional aggran
dizement; making production tribu
tary to speculation, and labor to capi
tal ; enabling “rings” to control the
supply and prices of produce, and
“syndicates” to parcel out the amount
ot money that the Several sections
shall have lor commercial facilities.
It letters jHiiiiiciaus by making them
directly interested in the bonds and
the currency regulations of the Gov
ernment, and it demoralizes business
men by obliging them to have an eye
to the gambling chances in making
their purchases or sales. We believe
that the solid prosperity and commer
cial freedom of the several sections ol'
the country can never be restored
while the system is maintained.
The Columbus Sun gives “some of
the trials of editorial life.” The good
editor is described as follows:
The inner history and life of a good
editor may be written iu a few words.
He works hard, lives well and inde
pendent, and dies poor—sometimes
appreciated aud respected. He un
derstands his responsibilities, and
trul) values ins power and influence.
While other orators speak occasion
ally, and then only to hundreds, he
holds conversation daily with thou
sands. He scatters the good bread
bouutifully on the waters, which is
found after many days, when he has
been gathered to the tombs of his
fathers.
The Southern Watchman enters
npon the twentieth year of its exis-
isteucc this week. Giving a short
■ketch of thirty-three years of news-
life, the editor says:
l)uriug all this*period we have been
impressed with the fact that editors,
a: .. 0 —J. -V.L, d. _L-rd work
and receive less pay for it than any
other class of people. This partly
grows out of the fact that they are
expected to do a great deal of gratu
itous work, but more especially on
account, of the abominable credit sys
tern. Every paper with which we
were ever connected made money,
if it could have oeen collected.
On the action of Congressmen vot
ing the increase of their own pay :
and making it retroactive, the Mil-
ledgeville Union and Recorder thus
speaks of Georgia Congressmen :
To steal the very money they were
chosen to protect! Our trusted agents
joining the enemy, to plunder our
over-plundered people! 1 f there is no
condemnation for these men, then
honesty is a fari« and its profession
a udsehood.
One fact the reading public
•hould understand: An editor never
writes a single article that he expects
▼ill please everybody.
the so cl of the republic.
The love of liberty is the soul of
all republican government. W ithout
this love existing fervently in the
hearts of the people, republican gov
ernment in any country must vanish
and become extinct. It begets and
keeps alive that vigilance which
watches with a jealous and argus eve
all inroads upon popular righ:s,
which may be infringed by intrigue-
ing men in various forms and in
many disguised shapes. Carl Schurz
says “there have been republics whose
original constitution was as healthy
as ours, but which died alter all ol
the slower disease of corruption and
demoralization, and that day of con
stitutional life and anarchy of power
which always go hand in hand with
them.” Says he, “it requires more to
make and preserve a republic than
the mere absence of a king, aud that
when a republic decays its soul is apt
to die first, while its outward form
may still be lasting.”
Disregard of the organic laws of
our own Republic is one of the symp
toms of the decaying principles which
is more or less sapping the life of our
free institutions. The tendency of
the centralizing ideas of federative
government is another. As corolla
ries of these is the spirit of corrup
tion which may be found to exist in
all departments of our civil govern
ment. Disregard of organic law, the
spirit of the masses to submit to the
centralizing rule of the few, and cor-
mption in the public service, are sure
indices that public liberty is in
danger, and that the soul of republi
can government is very sick in this
country. Men stand up in our halls
of national legislation to extenuate
and apologise lor acts of corruption
on the part of members of their
bodies, in the face of the most indu
bitable proofs of their guilt. Tech
nicalities are resorted to even iu our
National Senate to shield men from
punishment due their criminal con
duct.
The case of Caldwell, of Kansas,
claiming a seat in the Senate of the
United States Congresses one in point
to show r the subterfuges which in-
trigueing men resort to to save each
other from proper punishment.
Caldwell is charged with bribery in
securing his own election. The most
incontestible evidence has been pro
duced in the investigation of his case
that he openly purchased the votes
which secured that election. His
expulsion is now pending. Mr. Mor
ton, with a majority of the committee
of investigation, reported iu effect
that the election of Caldwell being
tainted with bribery was therefore
void. The friends of Caldwell now
contend that the Senate has no right
to go behind his certificate of election
anu examine the motives that influ
enced the members of the Legislature
who voted for him. In order to save
Caldwell, his friends would refuse to
Congress the Constitutional right to
judge of the qualifications of its own
members, each body for itself. In
regard for a partisan friend, they are
willing to disregard the organic law
of the country upon which the rights
of the people rest. This indication
coming from the highest legislative
body of a republic .s a symptom, in
one of its worst forms, that decay is
set upon the soul of the republic.
Reform is what is needed to pre
serve the soul of this Republic. We
need honest men aud patriots in the
halls of Congress to legislate for the
prosperity of the country and the hap
piness and security of the people, in
stead of plotting and scheming for
personal aggrandizement. Says Mr.
Schurz again, “Secure the exclusion
from legislative bodies of that class of
men who, after use of ignoble means
must serve sorded ends, and you will
have secured a better safeguard
against the abuse of power than by
circumscribing the authority of the
Senate in limits narrower than the
Constitution has designed them.”
Dangers are thretening the Republic.
Its soul is dying out, and can only
be inspired with it wonted life and
vitality by an uprising of the masses,
hurling from power those who are
trading and trafficing, scheming
and plotting for power and the sub
version of the public interests to their
own base purposes.
When the people fully realize the
dangers that environ the Republic
aud threaten to overthrow their lib
erties, and to extinguish free govern
ment, then, and not till then, may
we hope to see the old vitality—the
bouyant life—of the Republic restor
ed, and its soul burn with the vestal
fires of popular liberty and repub
lican government as in the purer
days of our National existence.

CHAT WITH STATE PAPERS
Dr. Jones—This lamous healer of the

from Macon, where those who have any
of the complaints which he so success
fully treats, can consult him with every
prospect of being cu r ea.
The Doctor will announce his rooms,
we presum ', in time to receive calls from
his patients.
The Macon papers, where he has been
pertonning the most wonderful opera
tions, speak in the very highest terms of
him. He comes witu any amount of
creditable certificates from those whom
he has healed, as well as from others who
bear testimony to his powers.

FORTY HOGS .Tl/JjS/.VS
I lileves Detected and Property Recov
ered !
Down the Georgia Road, and this side
f the Cemetery, is a 6tock yard kept by
Messrs. Jones & Beatie. Some time dur
ing Sanday night some ti.ieves managed
to get an opening in the fence and drove
out about forty of tho hogs which were
confined therein. Up to yesterday all
but ten of the missing hogs bad been re
covered, and the police were informed of
the robbing. Capt. Johnson at once de
tailed officers Holland, Lowe and John
son of the police force, to “work it up.”
They were not loug on the trail bt fore
they came up with the g-tnie, at a house
at the old Distillery branch, about one
and a half miles from the city, where they
found the place the hogs had been
slaughtered and dressed. Hi re a large
quautity of the meat was discovered aud
seized. There was no one on the prem
ises, as the former occupants evidently
expected a visit of this sort. The house
iiad been occupied by two negroes n >med
John Wood aud John Ellington.
Later iu the day Capt. Johnson and
officer Holland arrested Richmond Reid,
alias Waddell, a negro who keeps a little
grocery store on Houston street, opposite
Storr’s school house, and in his store
found several cf the dressed hogs. Rich
mond was locked np, but denies all com
plicity in the theft.
The other two negroes will most likely
be caught, but up to to a late hour last
night had not been brought in.
We extract the following from the Ma
con Telegraph aud Messenger:
In another part of this paper will be
found an account of quite a number of
remarkable cures recently performed by
this celebrated English physician and
surgeon.
Hn rooms at Brown’s Hotel for several
weeks past have resembled the levees of
some distinguished personage, so numer
ous have been those seeking advice ‘and
assistance. At the instance and earnest
lequest of many patients under treatment
and others desirous of consulting him,
the doctor, it will be seeu, has again con
ented to stay here until the21-t instant,
This decision will be very gratifying to
many who have not yet been able to avail
themselves of his acknowledged skill.
All unite iu saying that he will not un
dertake no cure where tnere is not a
reasonable prospect of success. Hence
the confidence with which he inspires
his patient*.
And tnruugh the urgent solicitations

The Atmosphere of Spring.
With every change of season we have a change in
the hygienic character of the air. In the spring it
is impregnated, especially in low lyiDg, wet districts,
with mephitic vspors, which generate chills and
fever, rheumatism, indigestion, biliousness and
diseases of the organs of respiration. It is there
fore particularly necessary at this time ot the year
to invigorate and regulate the system so as to enable
it to repel the morbid influences to which it is more
or less subjected. The stomach should be toned,
the bowels freed from obstructions, the blood puri
fied, and the nerves braced and strengthened. This
can be easily done. Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters are
everywhere procurable; and in the whole range of
remedies and preventives prescribed by the faculty
or recommended through the press, there is not one
that combines in such an eminent degree, great
efficiency aud perfect harmlessnesa. It is a positive
antidote to malaria. Whoever takes it habitually
may breathe the atmosphere ot the worst fevor and
ague locality without danger. Damp and chilling
winds make little or no impression on the organiza-
S lDTl h 'l>
tion reinforced with this powerful vegetable invigo-
rant, and consequently It is a good safeguard against
asthma, coughs, colds, and other pulmonary com
plaints. It is not 1 ecommended as a remedy for this
latter class of maladies, but simply ss a means of
strengthening the system a ainat the srlal condi
tions and changes which so often produce them.
As a spring invigorant and alterative, it will bs
lound extremely beneficial to parsons who are pecul
iarly sensitive to unhealthy atmospheric influences.
