WEDNESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 17, 1577.
,17 i:XILAX.TIO.V.
The A ROUS did not appear last
week for the following reason:
Wo had employed on Cdtistmas
week, a printer by the name of Barks
for a month’s work or more, lie to be
gin work regularly on tho Ist. He
worked in tho office until Saturday
night of Christinas week. On Sun
day lie left town to spend the day
promising to return the day following,
which was the Ist of January. He
failed to fullftll tho promise, but on
Wednesday, Jan. 3d, he sent an ex
planation by Mr. Thotnps. Brown
stating that his feet were so sore that
he could scarcely go across the room,
henco could not conic, but that lie
would be on hand the following Mon
day without lai).
Hav.ng confidence in the young
man’s explanation and promise, we
started to Atlanta early Monday
morning, leaving written instructions
for him on our sanctum desk. We
had let him have a pair of boots in
advance of his wages, and wo sup-
Dosed that he would work out the
va'ue of tho boots, at least. Wo re
ceived a letter on Thursday last, in
Atlanta, stating that tho printer had
again failed to come, and, consequent
ly no paper could appear. Wc left
for home by the next train, arriving
Saturday evening last.
The following received yesterday
morning, is tho printer’s apology:
"Mr, Ruasfill: —Having an oppor
tunity to secure a year’s work on a
farm by going to work right away,
I have concluded to do it. The mo
ney that jg due you on those boots I
will Stud you as soon as I earn it.

to-day, being unable to do more

NUMBER 13
This is tho slogan of a large num
ber of the nictub 1 rs of tho legislature
about tills time of the session. An
eloquent member from Okcfenokec
rises in his place and begins a bar
rangue of three hours deration, upon
the poverty of the people, oppressive
taxation aud the princely salaries of
dfflefo’s, ami winds ub his patriotic
fustian with a demand that the sala
ios of fifteen clerks, two pagos, mos
senger and door keeper bo reduced
two dollars per diem each. Then
another takes up the war cry against
the unfortunate attaches of their bo
dy", and wastes three hours more on
“Retrenchment.” Then another
rises and another, until a long list of
legislative gat jets has been spent.
They then vote themselves seven dol
lars a day and mileage. This gas
eonado prolongs the session to a
beautiful pile of money, and the of
fending members know it, hence, in
many instances, their impassioned
zeal for retrenchment aud economy.
These strictures-designate the mem
bers to whom they are applicable.
There are members, who aro truly
and conscientiously laboring for lie
trenchmcnt, Economy and Reform—
to them we accord a full tnced of
praise, and wish them Godspeed in
their worthy work.
Our plan for reducing the expensos
of the Legislature is simple and would
be effective: Stop so much speaking;
let the pay remain as it i ; pass only
bills of prime importance; quit local
legislation; call a Convcahon and ad
journ in ten days from the beginning
of the session. The adoption and
faithful observance of this plan would
save more than double the pay of a
brigade of clerks, and have a hand
some sum left to begin the next ses
sion on.
—Our Representative, Ilowell T.
Hollis, is among the handsomest
members of the Georgia Legislature;
but do not understand us to express
our private opinion of the general
personnel of that body. We sup
press it for prudential reasons.
— — - ■
—The Central Railroad Company
have decided to discontinue the prac
tice of issuing free passes to anyone,
except Governors and clod-hoppers,
Editors, members of the Legislature,
and State officials are all excluded.
“Now, the festive editaire,
And the gay Legislataiare,
And the stately officairo,
When they board the Central Cairo,
Or its branches anywhairo,
They must pay their several faire,
To the gleeful condutj. lire.
Ail, all must pay tlieir fnire,
To tie wicked conductaire,
Except the honored Govemairp,
And die vagrant clod-hoppaire. ”
The infliction of the boring termi
nal “a;re” upon the action of the com--
pany is our revenge. Though ex
cruciating, it is just.
—Do, Mr. Legislator, do “button
up your jaw” and let (he poor little
clorks and departments alone. Your
spouting costs the State thousands,
while their meagre salaries only
amount to hundreds. They are do
ing the State some service, while your
long speeches are dull, expensive old
nuisances.
Vanderbilt is dead,
The immaculate Georgia Legisla
ture convened in Atlanta, on Wednes
day last. The members cry “econo
mize, economize!” and that’s just
where the tax payers’ money goes.
While the blatant “ecouomizers” are
remorselessly whirling the "shelalee’>
of “retrenchment of salaries” over
the h ads of fifteen litflc clerks, the
sled days are roiling up a huge
t-'u.a for ihd afo'fesaid “economizers.’’
