agentent at the hands of a corrupt and
oppressive General Administration.
If this he the only charge which the
critics can bring against our United
States Senator to dissatisfy the late
Legislature with its choice, they will
surely fail of such purpose, and
thousands of ihe true jieople of this
proud old Commonwealth will add
their endorsement to the selection
by rising up and exclaiming, 14 well
done, good and faithful Legislators ”
The Augusta Chronicle and Consti•
tationalist projtoses the following
conundrum for the Legislature which
met last winter: “ IIow many votes
for United States Senator would
Hon. B. II. Hill have received if it
had been known that he advised
Fo-ter Blodgett to stay away from
the State and avoid arrest because he
couldnot yet a fair trial in the Court*
of Georgia ?” We are at a loss to
exactly comprehend the spirit in
which the Chronicle and\ Constitu
tionalist submits the above query
We cannot suppose for a moment, that
the opinion of Mr. Hill, as to what
would have been the probable fate of
Foster Fdodget at the time he gave
him the advise above referred to,
would have influenced the vote of ihe
last Legislature in its election ol
United Stat-s Senator. Everybody
in Georgia, and none less so than the
editors of the Chronicle and Con
at nationalist, will admit that at one
time, and doubtless about tile tint*
Mr. Hill is said to have advised his
client, the feeling in Georgia was so
erreat against B’.odgjtt and his tisso
Stun triWwwt ocyoim the possibility
of a chance for him to have received
an altogether fair or impartial hearing
before our Courts, but would in a
degree have been dangerous for him
to have ventured hack into our midst.
If such was Mr. Hill’s conviction, did
lie not do right, and act the part of
an honest an 1 trust worthy counsel,
to have so advised Blodgett ? Thu
meanest criminal or most corrupt
scoundrel is certainly entitled to jus
tice, and a fail and impartial hearing
before our judicial tribunals Then,
is Mr. Ilill more capable for having
so said or so decided than the Chron
icle and Constitutionalist, which has
recently received so many congratu
latory and complimentary not ices for
its able and well-timed opposition to
lyneh-law, and its earnest advocacy
of the right of every offender of the
- law to a fair and impartial trial or
hearing before the Courts?
Certainly, there is no fuir-miftded
person in all our broad Commonwealth
who would for a moment. intimate
that Mr. Hill was seeking to slifelil
Blodgett from the just requirements
of the laws of our State which he
had so flagrantly and so outrageously
violated and for which he is now
called upon to answer ? If there be
sueh, we respectfully invite their at
tention to the oft repeated denun
ciations and anathemas which have
'. been so unsparingly heaped upon
Blpdgetl and his co-adjutant in crime
and (corruption by Mr. Hill, mid
which -^rm such a conspicuous por
tion of liis political record for the
past tew years.
As for ourselves, believing and in
deed knowing Mr. Hill to be patriot*
ically true to the interest of his na
tive State, which Foster Blodgett
has played such a conspicuous and
important part in injuring and out
raging; and recognising in him an
earnest, able and uncompromising
<M$ggcate of justice and a rigid and
impartial enforcement of the laws of

Five years ago, Bullock was ins
dieted; many of his administrative
acts have been declared illegal, null
and void ; his whole course, as Gov
ernor, has been pronounced by the
people of Georgia as one flood-tide
of corruption; he was a fugitive
from justice and arrested and brought
back at much expense to the State;
he has been under bond now for
twelve months or more; the who]
}M->]ile have clamored that he and his
crew be brought to answer, under the
laws of the land, for their corruption
on 1 u ,-.-rX... - a'ne* indications
now are, that when arraigned for
trial, if tried at all, he will 'be ac
quitted. In the name of the honest,
'much-wronged and suffering people
ot this Commonwealth, we ask, is it
possible that the demornl zntion was
so extended and the complicity jn
corruption so great, that even, now,
with all our boasted honesty and
thoroughly democracixeil ’condition,
we cannot hope to see the thieves,
plunderers • and ■ oppressors of our
people brought to justice ? - Shades

A BesotifU Work of Art.
In out cemetery by the river, a
little distance down the left hand
side of the carriage way that runs
eastward from the gate, within the
family enclosure of one of our widely
honored citizen 6 , a monument of sin
gular beauty and originality of de- !
sign and skill in execution, made by
Mr. E. T. Viett, of Charleston, has
been recently erected over the re
mains of a cherished and gifted
daughter of Athens, who went “to
the rest that remaineth” over a year
ago.
The inscription: “Thine eye
shall see the King in His beanty,”
the wrearii suspended harp with its
broken string, the crown resting upon
the pnre white shaft, the delicate
finish of the whole, are in exquisite
harmony with the beautiful character
of her whose resting place it marks.
Gentle, imaginative, quick and
bright in thought, naturally a child
of song, of warm, generous sympa
thies, early possessing the one price
less pearl, love to tlie Redeemer, she
was fondly loved in lie- girlhood’s
home and family circle, a favorite
among her acquaintances, and loved
with a true appreciation by tlie com
panion of her life. With singular fe
licity docs this monumental marble
speak of the character of the dead
and of the devotion of the living.
