Our readers w ill doubtless reeo le<*l i.e charge ot fie At wit a Herald, tl at ihu present leasees ot the Slate Hoad obtained the lease hy the aid of bribery, and it may ho interesting to them to learn the results arrived at hy the Legislative Committee appointed to investigate the matter. The Committee reported that the charge of bribery waa unfounded, and their report waa unanimously adopted by the Legislature. The testimony upon which this report was baaed ia volumi nous, but full of interest. One point involves a question of journalistic ethica, and deserves at least a passing mention from every psper in the State. It aupeam from the testimony that the Atlanta Constitution took A position ed itorially in favor of the leaso i that it afterward* admitted, totters, communica tions etc. from both sidos, -and charged for the same, receiving front the lessees $5,000 in a lump, nnd so maoh a line 1 trout the opposition. Ndvr coittes Ihe question, was tiiis course in accordance will) the sillies ot journalism* Did ft fill the requirements of that vugue, im writteu and potential Code which is*trp ; posed lo be the standard of litgli-toned I journalists ? There seems to lie differ nice ot opinion in reference to this deli ! cate point. CVd. I. W. Ave-v, a former editor of the Constitution, tola the Lommillee that suidr conduct “was not exactly prn|>er journalism,' and Col. W. T. Thonqwon. of the Savannah Xevt, also pronour.ee* against the pro priety of such a course. Per contra, the Constitution coin' * to the front with tiie following statement: “It will be seen that Governor Brown swears directly and positively that he made no con (tact with the Constitution (or any other paper) for it* editorial con trol, and thut the money was paid solely 1 for the publication ot communications, ! letters, reprints and articles in advocacy of the case. The Constitution published a great mass of uoh and charged full prices. Every journal in the land charges for the insertion of such matter, and we shall gladly avail ourselves of any opportunity to swell the income of tiie Constitution by receipts from pay ments for tho use ot our space. We repeal tho assertion heretofore made that no man, set of men, company or corpo ration shall advocate, through our col umns, personal interests, without paying, and paying well, tor the same. It every newspaper would rigidly-oontorin to the rule ot forcing payment tor original matter intended to advance personal in terests or enterprises, there would be less bankruptcy in the journalistic profession. The newspaper is 100 often deadheaded — more often than any other institution. Tho : ouriia'ist's duty is to publish news, and teach tile peopljL,.lu|t_ij! *o.doing,he mens are made tiie common jweperty of all seekingt') use them.” The Constitution is mnrfifea'ly right. It would lie base in lop extreme to sell the editorial control-erf a p|ier, hut when an -editorial position lias been lioitetttly Taken, “it (sutfthing more than just that parties ntlio desire to profit by using tho' spaeo and material of tiie paper should pay for tiie same. We believe thin posi tinn lo he the only correct one, nnd teel satisfied that it will be sanctioned by the leading journalists of the land. A KICKISO PRESIDENT-. President Grant, if he is not grossly misrepresented, is acquirin'' a still nice sense of the proprieties of his exaltedr Station. The Washington correspondent of the Hartford limes telegraphs a ported peculiar scene between the Chief Magistrate aft-1 tiie Solicitor of Ibe Treasury, Blutord Wilson, in which the President mildly hilt firmly remarked, that “were it not for tile dignity of my office, I would kick you out of the White House-" The Solicitor (a man who seems to lie strangely destitute of that fine sense of personal and official pro priety which always characterises tiie President) went at once to tho Secrets rv of tiie Treasury—proposing to resign. Mr. Bristow, who does not sure to see the long labor of ids own hands conn* to nauglit, is said to have told the So licitor just to wait a bit—•till the whisky trials are ended—ami then he (Wilson) will have company going with hint when lie retires. It begins to he painfully evident that neither Bristow nor Wilson can hope to get a Presidential certificate of uhuraoter, nor even a deposition, to brighten their fuiure paths.—*AWa Oh! bother ilia Legislature! We have wasted 100 much good white paper on it already; and we have a good ntind nol to publish any more ot its proceedings. The principal reason why we have published each full report, was that we wanted pccplo to know exactly the Wind ol stuff over which their mon ey was wasted.— \.aOramje Reporter. In pursuance ol this laudable determi nation we slia'l expect the Reporter to furnish its readers with full copies of all the acts introduced, lost and passed du ring the session. Hut it’s hard to tell which would die first under such regi men—the Reporter or its readers. A calculation has been made from data obtained at the Treasury Department, which indicates that the total actual con tmotion ot the currency in the past year has not been much, it any, under $50,- 000,000. . It would seem that Bruce, the negro Senator from Mississippi, has burned his bridges bshiud him. lie sent a dispatch to his friends, dated Washington, Feb-| ruary 10th, in which he says: “I have this day openly proclaimed my t opposition to ‘he nomination ol General Grant. 1 will not support him although he may he nominated by the convention at Cincinnati. I will, in a few days, stale inv views at length in the Senate. I have no secrets on this subject; have just made a denouncing the third 'term." hOMKBTEAD LAW. AH lill’OBTAVr aMRHUMKNT.

In the Belem* of Wire one George ¥ lleynolds g*ve testimony curiously opposed to that heretofore offered turainst the prisoner, ad pn s nted a pic] i ture Vtf prison life that rivals the stonf. 1 0 f ifc'ofese'.'d wonder—tellers. According Ito him, the Andersonvilie stockade was I much like a compact city. There were thirty-three thousand prisoners, tho pen - ns |nid out in streets, and most ot the v cations known to urban li v were car i ried"on within it. There were about 1 one thousand regular dealers, including bankers, brokets, proviso met chants, bakers, tailors, snoemakeis, bsrbers, jewellers, soup-jobbers, gamblers,, *e., who kept open shops and olhees, and ilid a thriving business. At these es tablishment could be bought, and one ha the money, all the necessaries ami inafty’ i,l the luxuries of life. Of the one thous and dealers of nearly all vocations among the prisoners in the stockade, five hundred were bakers, and about half a dozen dealt in in real es'atc, sell ing sites oil tho main streets to other prisoners, who wished tooommenc busi nT-ss. There were many eating-houses, at w hielt a first rate meal could be got tor ten dollars in greenbacks, and a thimbleful of whiskey for three dollars, lie himself was a flout and provision dealer, had a well-stocked establishment, and some days sold a thousand pounds of flour alone. When he enteted the prison he had no money at all, but by selling a portion of his rations each day accumulated a capital, and left, af ter a confinement ot only two montlis. with over five hundred dollars. At one time during his imprisonment, he said, lie had five thousand dollars in green hacds. In addition to the other indus tries of the place, many of the pnsonors kept barbershops, where they dyed the whiskers of their fellow-captives, acted as doctors, and sold medicines., 'ihu financial basis of all this iri.ttic was about ha fa million ddllars in green backs, which was field by about, one four tb of the prisoners. They had among themselves regular judicial and police organizations, and at one time the disorderly ehalracterfi among them, who bad been found guilty by ajuty of their felloweaptives, were hung. lie himself acted as magistrate, lie said that there were titty wells &nd lour hundred and fifty springs in this delight ful city, and that the water.in them was clear and pure. GKORtxIX GOSiSIP. The next convention of the State Ag ricultural Society will be held in Gaines ville. Ths dwellirg house of Isaac A. Moon ey, of Flowery Branch, wits consumed by fire one night last ‘week. Mr. nuwmu-'Y rarr ** oriiiiTlTlE young Atlanta lawyer, has been appoint ed City Solicitor of At'anta. It is said there will be no State Fair this year, b*cause the people will be too much absorbed in the Centennial. Thirteen young white men, who have emigrated to Texas from Houston coun ty during the past five years, have re turned home, The Atlanta Courier says that the best thing said during the session of the Leg islature can be ascribed to Mr. Ham mond, of Thomas co inty. That gen tleman, while addressing the House, was interrupted by Mr. Blue, the very black member from Glynn. “I cannot lv ar the distinguished gentleman,” said Mr. .Hapimond, “and"—straining his head forward—“l can hardly see him.” The Atlanta correspondent of tiie Macon Telegraph lias tliia curious pi< c of information: “Judge Peeple.s hr.B appointed Dr. Lawton as Rt-ieivpr in the office of the State Printer. This was in response to a bill filed by Z. I). Harrison, in behalf of certain creditors ot Alston & Gnarly, and R. A. Alston. Tiie State Printer’s profits are to go to their credit ors It is believed that the decision cannot stand.

Turner shdws the last, in the shape of a curious case, the history of which, says the Eatonton Messenger, is a little singular. Before the Revolutionary war the great grandfather of William Turner, Joseph Turner, then residing in Virginia, bad a neighbor who was a Royalist, or Tory. Seeing trouble at hand, this neighbor on me to Mr. Turner and said : “Joe, I am going home till this little fuss is over, and I want you to take care of my liquor case till 1 oome hack." Accord ingly. he sailed tor England, but the little fuss not turning out exactly as he expected, he never retutned. After the waf was over, Mr. Turner emigrated to Georgia with his son, who was also named Jfoftdph. The chest of bottles has been handed down from father to son till it reached the hands of its pres ent owner. Griffin AWs: Sonid Months since we made notice that Kelly, of Newton county, the murderer of Dr Itardenian had escaped from the coal mines and was at large defying the authorities. A tew days ago it was rtepoued that he was in Butts cdunty with some other parties who swore they would not he arrested. Certain gentlemen from this city went down to see it they could not “bring him to taw,” and meu never worked more vigorously, They laid out hi the cold, stood in the rain and mud, and at last got on trail of the party looked for. They thought they had him, but being inonuted on a fleet horse he managed to escape, but not until seven Sho's had l>eeu fired at him. Some of the party are still on his trail, and a dispatch just received shows that they have been shooting at each other and that Kelly is wounded. Messrs. Bob Connell, John H ghtower, Taylor Mori is and Branch Bowdoin are on his trail. Escape with such men after him is impossible. , rp he -\7\7‘eHtern and H- ai *- 0 ufl.
