Philo.—We are in receipt of an interest
ing communication from “Philo” of Dali-
lonegaGa, on the “University Bill.” We
regret not being* ab'.e to present it to our
readers this week. It will appear in onr
next issue.
The Senate Priveleges and Elections Com
mittee still have the Spencer case under in
vestigation. The chances of his escape with
out " the smell of fire upon his garments,
are exeedingly doubtfuL
Caleb Marsh the fugitive witness against
Belknap has returned to Washington and
has been before the House Judiciary Com
mittee. His statements go to corroborate
his previous testimony. This assures the
impeachment of tho Ex-Secretary and his
indictmcut by the local courts.
The Washington news seems to indicate
that in the course of a week or two some
startling developments are anticipated in
connection with the While House. The
testimony of Orville Grant has done the
President no good, and it is not uulikely that
the “ Head of the Nation” will be brought
before the Bar of the Senate. So mote it be.
A Washington correspondent, to the A1
bauy Aetni says: “Mr. Pendleton, who
has been made the recipient of an immense
amount of Radical mud, came before Mr
Clyraer’s committee and made a most per
fect vindication of himself, covering his de
fame!* with merited confusion. The Radi
cals have resorted to every strategy to break
the damning effect of the Belknap exposure,
abusing Mr. Clyiner and Mr. Pendleton
without stint, and endeavoring to couple
their names with some disreputable transact-
actions, but the efforts failed and both gentle
men stand perfectly vindicated. “But here
comes a correspondent to the Atlanta
Constitution and says : “So far as Mr.
Pendleton is concerned, enough has been
proven already to put him out of the field
as a possible candidate for the presidency.
He has dug his political grave with his
own hands. There are very many here
who are sorry for him, bnt they recognize
this fact.”
. FROM B.iD TO WORSE.
The investigations at Washington are
still progressing with almost the daily de
velopment of tome new and startling cor
ruption t amongst J government officials.
These investigations have discovered much
to stain our national honor, and with a
national pride suffering from the deep
sting of governmental depravity, it was
natural to suppose that there would have
been on the part of an indignant, outraged
and insnlted people, sncli an arousement as
would have secured a speedy return to the
better days of our republic. But alas! how
disappointed have been the hopes of a suf
fering nation, and “ how sharper than a
serpent’s tooth” that party allegiance, which
has more deeply stigmatized our nation by
sacrificing its honor and reputatiou for
party gagrandizement.
The recent election" in New Hamp
shire and the means used for Repub
lican success, serve to admonish us, that
the clouds of political corruption still
lower o’er our country. They foreshadow
the storm of Radical abominations, which,
glowing from bad to worse, and seemingly
gathering strength from exposure, is again
about to burst upon us as a mighty cyclone
government degeneracy, and which
shall make this Centennial of our Republi
can existence as the grand finale of that
good, honest and Constitutional Govern
ment, once the boast of American freemen.
Tlic present administration of the govern
ment, demoralized by the weight of its own
corruption and trembling with apprehen
sion at the convening of a Democratic House
ol Representatives, began, early after tlie
meeting of the present session of Congress,
to exhibit superficial evidence of official
crime. This fact led to the investigations
now being pursued. And now, as the
curtain has been raised, exhibiting to the
world a degree of fraud, corruption and
depravity in high places, jierhajis never
equalled, ceitainly never excelled in the
history of any government, what has
been tlie effect upon tju* party thus bring
ing our country into disrepute with all
the civilized nations of the earth ? Does
the present political outlook indicate that
Radicalism is likely to find a Centennial
burial in the midst of its own rottenness
and beneath its own rnin ? Not so. But
emboldened by its familiarity with crime,
it rises ns it rots and rots as it rises,” and ;
thus rising in the midst of its infamy and
rottenness, sounds the rallying cry of Radi-
ca ism. With its “ slander mills” now un
der full headway, with its carpet-bag Gen
erals and scalawag Colonels already active
in marshaling the deluded “ wards of the
nation,” with free and uninterrupted access
to the government treasury, it presents a
bold cud solid front, threatening that dis
astrous political result in the approaching
Presidential elec ion, which will make the
year 1876 rather the celebration of impe
rial or centralizing Radicalism than the
Centennial anniversary of American Re
publicanism.
GETTING EIGHT AT LAST.
It was cur good fortune, and pleasure to
meet, during tbe past week, many of our agri
cultural friends from different portions of
this seetion, and xre were.not only inter
ested and gratified, but greatly encouraged
by the “ much of good cheer” which they,
had to say. They report, in many neigh
borhoods, a much more independent con
dition among the formers than many had
been led .to suppose. Realizing, as they
seemed to have done, the great importance
of reform in their system of agriculture,
and fully appreciating the increasing strin
gency in money matters, the past year was
not without its good results to them. This,
and the manifest tendency this year, in a
goodly portion of upper Georgia to an im
proved and more self-sustaining agricul
ture, will doubtless work a much needed
and lasting benefit to our whole section of
country'.
We learn from several prominent agri
culturists that their neighborhoods are not
only supplied with all the necessaries with
which to make this year’s crop, but even
have corn, fodder, oats, hay, etc., for sale.
This certainly is a good showing, and
would go to prove that many of our tann
ers should be excepted from tlie broad-cast
censure which the Press of late has been
teeming upon the sturdy “ sons of tlie soil.”
We have the promise of special commu
nications from several of these self-sustain
ing and independent neighborhoods, which,
when received, we sliall take great pleas
ure in presenting to our readers*. We
trust all of our farmer friends, who may
be able to add their testiiuouy to this most
cheerlul aud highly encouraging evidence
of an improved and improving condition in
the foundation interest of our country-, will
send in their contributions. Such presen
tations will not only serve to turn the cen
sure, which perhaps has been too freely
and indiscriminately bestowed upon them as
a class, into comincndaticn, but will do much
towards the-restoration of confidence in
every channel of industry by furnishing the
gratifying intelligence that onr agriculture,
at least in this section of Georgia, is get
ting right at last.

SYNDICATE
The Atlanta Constitution charges that
there has been a Syndicate formed i* the city
of Atlanta, consisting of various editors and
politicians from various parts of the State,
whose primary object is to inaugure’e meas
ures to defeat the re-election of Governor
Smith, without reference to whom shall be
his successor. The weapons employed will
be slander and abuse. Too “ thin a dodge,'
brother Constitution, to be credited by the
intelligent readers of your paper or even
the most anxious and suspicious friends of
Governor Smith. Better rally your Smith

mittee again, and perhaps, with less of
trepidation, you may be enabled to make
a more correct and successful rcconnuis
sauce. We apprehend that u|k>ii a more
thorough examination, you will find the
“Syndicate” to which you allude, if there
be grounds for such allusion or suspicion,
to be merely a synergetic demonstration of
that unmistakable popular syndrome,
which will make the approaching Nomina
ting Convention the Syndicate which shall
determine upon whom the Gubernatorial
mantle shall next foil.

Oconee, March 27th, 1876.
Since the failure of tbe Southern life
Insurance Company, we have noticed a very
decided disposition on the part of the op
ponents of Gen. Colquitt to use this mis
fortune of the Company with which lie was
connected, as a means of disparaging liis
claims for Gubernatorial preferment.
We do not suppose for a moment, that
Gen. Colquitt needs defense against such
unfair and unjustifiable attempts, with an
intelligent and thinking people, whose op
portunities have acquainted them with the
facts as regards the fate of this Company
and whose desire is to mete out jus ice unto
all men.
But as a goodly portion of our readers
■nay not have had an opportunity of learn
ing the particulars in regard to this failure,
and as doubtless they have at least heard
it intimated that the failure would proba
bly damage Gen. Colquitt in his Guberna
torial candidacy, we propose to give Ihe
following statement from Col. William
Johnston, ot Charlotte, one of the Directors
of the Company:
“The causes of the failure are, in brief,
the failure of the Carolina Life to pay np
its reserve—888,000—and he deaths of the
policy-holders from cholera and yellow
fever. A great many of these policies were
held in tbeinfeeled districts, and the losses by

Deatii of Governor Lumpkin’s Wife.
—On the night ol the 4th inst., at the resi
dence of Mr. John C. Lumpkin, a mile from
this place, his mother, Mrs. >Lumpkin, the
wife of ex-Governor Lumpkin, put aside the
cares Of this life and passed over the shining
shore. With the character and life of this
noble and distinguished lady, are blended
memories sweet to many of oiir older citizens,
who, in days gone by honored and loved her
husband, who with so much ability filled the
office of governor. Those were days of
official integrity, aud had her husband
while he held the helm ot state, been guilty
of that prodigality so characterictic of some
of our officials of late date, pageantry and
show might have turrounded her death aud
burial. So it was she passed quietly away,
and those who honored her living, may, with
equal pride, honor her memory.— C’crfar-

EOS COE CON n LING THE CHOICE OF
NE W YORK REPUBLIC AS8.
Tlie New York Republican Convention,
at Syracuse, an si.nously selected Roscoe
Conkling as their fkvorite candidate for the
Presidency. This action of the Republi
cans is in direct opposition to the resolu
tions recently adopted by the Union
League of that State, but as Grant has ex-
, pressed a derided preference for Conkling
as the best and most suitable man for his
successor, we need look for no split between
the two winga df qfe party.- To what ex-
- ’ tent the action oftho New York jtepabli-
cans will control the choice of the National
Republican Convention, cannot now ,be
aafely or satisfactorily determined.* With
Blaine, Bristow and Morton, nil prominent
in the field and each with a strong follow
ing from their respective sections, there is
likely to be an unusual scramble and divis
ion amongst the Radicals as to who shall
become their Standard-bearer in the Presi
dential Campaign of 1876. Let this, how
ever, be as it may, there is no probability
of a permanent split . Party discipline is
too well established, party necessities too
pressing, and party success too important
for the slightest chance of a “straighout”
movement. Let the friends and support
ers of the respective candidates differ ever
so widely, still the choice of the National
Convention will heal all differences, close
up all divisions, and tbe nominee of the
Convention, as the Standard-bearer of Rad
icalism, will receive the undivided support
of tb* toe common aud united party.

death from these diseases have not lieeuless
than $500,000. The Directors, at their meet
ing, asse sed the stockholders forty per
cent, and appointed two agents, the .ate
Secretaries of the Company at Memphis
and at Atlanta, to go to work and ascer
tain if they could not effect some kind of
compromise with the creditors.”
Thus it is seen, that it would lie fully as
unfair and as unjust to attribute the slight
cst responsibility of this failure to Gen.
Colquitt, as it would bo to ascribe the same
to other gentlemen whose names are promi
nently connected with Gubernatorial hon
ors. In a conversation with one of the
highest official* connected with this Insu
rance Company, during our recent stay in
Atlanta, he stated to us, that the investiga
tions consequent upon this failure, had
shown the Georgia branch of the Company
at Atlanta very ably and snocessfhlly man
aged, and certainly reflected great credit
upon Gen. Colquitt as Vice-President and
active manager of the business.
It would .seem from tlie statement of
Col. Johnston, as given above, that the
Board Directors cei uittly had great con
fidence in the business management of the
Atlanta Company, as they have assigned to
it, together with the Memphis Company,
which, by-the-way, is the headquarters of
this Southern oiganization,' the duty of
finally adjusting matters with the creditors.
Thus having discharged, what wc con
sider but a simple act of justice to Gen.
Colquitt, wo would unite our voice with
that of others, iu saying, let there be
naught but justice and fair play in the ad
vocacy of tb- respective candidates for the
Governorship.
Then, with the masses free from the
bias of prejudice, bused upon false repre
sentations, and independent in tlie posses
sion of truth and tacts, may we hope the
selection of a Governor full worthy of the
position and the choice, not of political
tactions or partisans rings, but of tho whole
people of Georgia.
