JEFFERSON, JACKSON COUNTY, GA., FRIDAY. OCTOBER 3.1579.
Decitizenized.
That is Goldsmith's Sentence—The Last Day
of the Great, Trial—An Effort to Mitigate
the Penalty Defeated —The Vote of Con
damnation Taken Amid the Falling Shadows
of the Night.
It is doubtful if the present generation of
Georgians ever looked upon a more im
pressive scene than was exhibited in the
Senate Chamber on yesterday.
The tedium of the roll call on the articles
af impeachment had passed and the Senate
had met for the purpose of passing sentence
on the Comptroller-General of Georgia. The
galleries were packed, and even the lobbies
of the Senate, usually sacred from the in
trusion of the crowd, under the watckfulleye
and unpersuadable sternness of Lem Allred,
were so filled that there was barely standing
room. The Senators were in their seats, the
craped and laurelled desk of the dead Clements
being one of the three vaoent ones. Chief
Justice Warner sat in the President's chair,
his white expressive face giving no more sign
of what emotions moved beneath its surface
than if it had been sculped in marble. The
whisper of speculation that ran about the
chamber was subdued, decorous, and it was
evident that the spectators were expecting
some solemn and impressive work.
IN TIIE FOREGROUND OF THE DESKS
Sat the Comptroller-General. To his right
and left sat Messrs. Hopkins and Ilenry
Jackson. To the rear of Mr. Jackson sat
Colonel Candler and Mr. Thomson ; these
gentlemen having been his counsel. A lit
tle in front sat Mr. Goldsmith, the father of
the Comptroller, gray-haired, sorrowful, but
devoted. Three of the Comptroller’s broth
ers sat to the rear, watching the proceedings
with the keenest interest. Mr. Hinton IJ.1 J .
Wright sat near the President's desk. The
attitude and demeanor of the Comptroller
during the terrible strain imposed upon
him was commendable. lie was deathly
pale but tranquil and quiet. He was dressed
with scrupulous neatness, and wore a rose
bud on his coat lapel. lie sat most of the
time with his right hand resting on the top
of his head, slowly closing and opening his
white fingers and running them through Ins
hair. At other times he sat with the head of
his walking cane pressed against his cheek
under his right eye, leaning his head upon it
slightly. When Senator Camming alluded
to the “ amiability that had made him lovable
in private life, but had been a snare to him
inofficial life,” and to the gallantry with which
he “ had bared his bosom to the storm of
battle in defense of his State” and proceeded,
to pay an eloquent and touching tribute to
bis worth as a soldier and civilian, he was
evidently affected. lie bended his head for
ward until his face was hidden from view
and remained so for some time. It was
noticed that Major Cumming’s own eyes were
moistened as lie closed his speech, showing
the deep feeling that gave it such thrilling
effect. When Mr. Preston made his im
passioned appeal to the Senate, Mr. Gold
smith leaned forward and sat bolt upright.
Only once did he show signs of annoyance,
and that was when Mr. Holcombe, with a
rather poor taste it must be confessed, allud
ed to a conversation he bad with the Comp
troller*—“ shook like a leaf.” At this he
turned to Captain Jackson and made some
earnest remark. He laughed heartily at some
of the points scored by Senator Hudson.
TILE RUN OF TOE DEBATE.
The debate of course hinged upon the
question as to whether there should be simple
removal or removal with disqualification.
Those who favored simple removal had the
best of the debate from the start, although
Mr. Harrison made a very strong and pointed
opening speech for the extreme penalty.
Major Cumming’s speech was a model of its
kind-impartial, calm and decorus as became
the occasion, and yet thrilled all through and
through with pathos and nervous with re
pressed power. Colonel McDaniel argued
the law of the case with the close and accurate
energy for which he is famous, making,
probably, the ablest speech of the day, and
Mr. Preston's earnest appeal rang through
the Senate chamber like the notes of a bugle,
and showed that the young Senator has the
very highest attributes of oratory. There
were scores of people crying as he spoke—it
carried off the palm for eloquence. Senator
Hudson won the only applause of the day
when lie said passionately, in reply to a
question, “ l'es, God Almighty found David
thrice guilty, but to-day David is in Heaven
among the blest.” The point made by Mr.
Bryan that the law itselfdisqualified the Comp
troller from ever holding office after lie had
been removed for malfeasance, created a
ripple of excitement and was endorsed by
many persons who were listening to the de
bate and who were skilled in the law. For
disqualification. Mr. Bower made a straight
forward and able speech, in which he said
that though mercy was sweet and sublime,
there was a higher and a grander attribute,
and that was justice. He argued that the
law was positive to his mind upon the point
of disqualification, and read the law to sus
tain his position. The debate was opened,
as we have said, by Senator Harrison, in one
of the strongest speeches of the day. Mr.
Holcombe followed Major Camming in an
earnest and rugged speech, in which he in
sisted that the extreme penalty should be
put upon Mr. Goldsmith. He reviewed the
history of the State from the days of recon
struction on, and held that corruption ruled
supreme in everything. He was severe
upon Mr. Goldsmith because the latter had
not, as he charged, met the Senate frankly
and thrown open the records of his office to
its inspection. Senator Clarke opposed the
substitute in a lengthy and logical speech,
and Mr. Clements in a practical, level-head
ed speech that proved effective. It was
plain, but strong ami to the point. Mr. Boyd,
in a short but pertinent speech, opposed the
passage of the disqualifying clause, aud the
debate closed with a fervid speech from Mr.
Cumming and a short rejoinder from Senator
Bower.
TIIE VOTE AND THE RESULT.
It was almost dark in the Senate when the
debate was finished. The gleams of the dy-
ing sun were rippMng on the walls, and the
twilight shadows hong over the scent. An
attempt was made to put off ths vote, but it
was promptly ordered, and was brought on
without delay. The roll call opened In a
death-like silence. By one of the caprices
of voting, of the first six votes five were for
the substitute, but after that it was rapidly
beaten. Before the roll was half through
with it was plain that the substitute was gone.
At the close of the vote a thrill of sympathy
ran through the whole Senate and the galleries.
Every eye was instinctively turned to the
pale, slight figure sitting in the shadows,
and with the deeper shadows gathering about
it. It betrayed no signs of emotion. The
samepower that had enabled it to confront the
rank after rank of Senators that had arisen
the day before and voted “ guilty,” until the
very ear of tho Senate was wearied with the
sound, sustained him through this dreadful
roll call. He started by keeping a tally-sheet,
but soon stopped, lifted his face, imploringly
it seemed, to the Senate. But the pittiless
vote went on. At length it closed. The
Chief Justice then put the main question.
The call on this proceeded without incident
until Mr. Head’s name was reached. That
gentleman arose and stated that he did not
believe Mr. Goldsmith deserved such pun
ishment and he could not vote for it. But
the friends of the substitute had determined
to make no further fight, and Head and Pres
ton wore the only Senators that voted against
it. At the close of the cull adjournment was
ordered, and the act of impeachment was
over.
A more solemn effect was never produced
by legislative act. The vast crowd arose in
perfect silence. It seemed chilled and be
numbed. The Senators closed their desks
and put on their hats without a word to each
other. Every man and woman seemed filled
and thrilled with the dread spirit of the oc
casion. Away in the lower corner of the
chamber, leaning upon the arm of an old
gray-haired man, a slight, stooping figure
walked slowly out of the aisle into tiie Pres
ident's room. Wash. Goldsmith! the brave
young soldier, the wise and patriotic legis
lator, the lovable, amiable man—pale, trem
bling and bended forward, stripped of his
citizenship, but leaning on the arm of his
father, expelled from office by the Senate,
but drawn tenderly to the old heart that
had known him from his boyhood, and that
in the face of all circumstances stood up to
say that it still loved and trusted him. And
together, father and son, they passed
through the shadows out into the world.
May God, whose judgment is wise above all
human estimate, and whose mercy endureth
forever, follow them both, to correct all error,
if error has been committed, or to chasten
justice, if only justice has been delt to them.
We presume that sentence -will be pro
nounced to-day, at 10 o’clock. Mr. Gold
smith was met at the side entrance of the
hall by hundreds of friends, who expressed
their utmost confidence in his integrity and
their sympathy in his misfortunes. The im
pression was simply universal that he had
been tricked and misled, and that his pur
poses bad not been wrong.
THE TOTE ON THE ARTICLES.
We did not give the "yeas and nay*’ 1 on
the vote on the seventeen aticlos of impeach
ment, as it would have taken up too much
space, and besides there was no general line
drawn by which the votes were divided.
Each Senaeor voted just as his own opinion
dictated, and there were some curious but
no definite divisions. The only two Senators,
we believe, who voted guilty on every charge
were Messrs. Holcombe and Tison, of the
Fourth. Mr. Bower voted guilty on most ol
the charges, but on one call, where there was
only one vote of “ not guilty,” that vote was
Senator Bower’s. Messrs. Grantland, Boyd,
Hamilton, of the Fourteenth ; Drake, Staten,
Holton, Grimes and Russoll voted guilty on
most of the articles, but there was no ten
dency established. There were hardly any
two voters that had the same support, except
all voted guilty, as on two or three
articles. The vote showed that the Senators
had carefully weighed the matter in their
own minds, and that each man voted
as he thought his duty dictated. No sem
blance of any clique or factional division
could have been traced through the votes.
The Perfect Girl.
A THEORY OF DEVELOPMENT BY TIIE USE OF
PERFUMES.
A remarkable scientific discovery which is
full of importance to ever} 7 one who is in any
way interested in girls, is alleged to have
been made by that eminent Italian scientific
person, Dr. Piero Fabris, of Venice. Dr.
Fabris was preparing an exhaustive work on
“The Function of Perfume in Flowers,”
when the thought occurred to him: Are
not all our impulses due to the influence of
perfumes, and is it not possible to make the
human nose the great instrument of educa
tion ? This thought led to a long series of
careful experiments which finally enabled
him to formulate rules for the production of
female character at will.
Dr. Fabris’ experiments wero made with
the aid of seventy-eight small girls of between
10 and 15 years of age. These girls he divi
ded into six classes. Each class was kept
day and night in an atmosphere steeped in
some particular perfume. The effects of
these specific perfumes were carefully studied,
and the result is really startling.
The class of girls in musk consisted of
thirteen members, chosen at random. At
the end of six months every girl, without
exception, had become plump, languid and
conspicuously good tempered, unless under
extreme provocation. Though Dr. Fabris
found that musk produced a desire for
wearing fine clothes and jewelry, it wa.<j also
evident that it did not stimulate a taste for
personal neatness, though, perhaps, this was
due to indisposition to tako any unnecessary
trouble, which is the characteristic effect of
musk. This experiment convinced the iu
vestigator that an amiable, languid and
showy girl, with a tendency to undue post
ponement in tho matter of changing collars
and cuffs, may be produced by the aid of
musk in from five to six months, out of the
most, scraggy, spiteful and viciously active
material.
The effect of the perfume of the rose was
precisely opposite that of musk. The girls
of the rose class grew thin, abnormally neat,
excessively prudish and decidedly unamiable.
A curious unwillingness to tell the truth was
developed in twelve of the thirteen jgirls
■*v ~
subjected to this experiment, a result which
was the more remarkable since, in other re
spects, they were unusually strict in obeying
the teachings of the church. For this style
of girls there is, of course, little or r.o de
mand, except in those parts of New England
where every girl is expected to become a
school teacher.
Geranium was found to produce a fair
sample of girl. Those subjected to its influ
ence developed the plumpness of tho musk
girls, a decidedly independent spirit, and a
tendency to free thinking in matters of reli-
gion. This kind of girl would probably
meet a largo demand in our Western and
Northwestern States, where personal beauty
and strength of character are much prized,
and where orthodoxy in religion is not re
garded as essential. Dr. Fabris is fliclined
to think that by the alternate action of
geranium and violet a modified girl might be
produced who would be a decided improve
ment upon cither a pure geranium or a pure
violet girl.
Very satisfactory results were obtained
by the use of violet. The girls upon whom
this perfume was employed became gentle,
amiable, refined, devout and thoroughly
truthful. They also, however, developed
some indications of melancholy, and were, as
a rule, lacking in physical and moral force.
So far as the doctor’s investigations have
been pushed, violet appears to give the best
results. It is to be hoped that his expecta
tions as to the alternate use of violet and
geranium will be justified ; for in that case
we shall be able to prodace girls who will be
almost faultless.
The only other perfume with which Dr.
Fabris experimented was patchouli, and the
results were most discouraging. At the cud
of two months the girls of the patchouli class
had developed nearly every undesirable
quality, and it was perhaps a good thing that
a mob, justly maddened by the scent of
patchouli which radiated from the doctor’s
laboratory, broke into the premises and de
stroyed everything they could lay their hands
on, including ths girls of the patchouli class,
and several valuable articles of furniture and
scientific instruments.
Remarkable Vitality.
Col. Jones, of Louisiana, was lynched for
the murder of Gen. Lydell. lie fought a
duel before the war and received an ounce
rifle ball through his heart. He not only re
covered, but was never afterward troubled
with disease of that organ, from which ho had
previously suffered. At the time of his
killing he was shot no less than a dozen times
with heavy charges of buckshot before he
expired. A private soldier in Powers’ regiment
of Confederate cavalry, while charging at
Olive Branch was thrust through the bowels
with a bayonet, and literally “pitchforked”
from the horse, but ho disengaged himself,
staggered to his feet and split his assailant’s
skull in twain with a sabre. Within four
months he-was again in active service. T. B.
Edwards and E. Daigree, of the Second
Louisiana Cavalry, were both shot through
the bowels at the battle of Rafourohe Crossing
and were pronounced by the surgeons as
fatally wounded, the bullets not glancing as
in some other cases, but cutting through the
intestines. Both men recovered and did duty
afterwards in two or three campaigns. Auguste
Morey, a scout for the Trans-Mississippi
army, was shot between the eyes, the bullet
lodging in the back of his head, where it is
yet. After his fall an Ohio infantryman
rushed up and transfixed him through the
breast with his bayonet. Morey was found
alive on the field and sent by his captors to
a prison hospital, from whence he was ex
changed in time to have several brushes with
his foes before the final “ breakup.” I saw
him in 1868, and he told me that he had never
suffered any inconvenincc from the leaden
pellet that he was carrying iu his cranium.
In 1866 I made the acquaintance of a retired
old lieutenant colonel of the French armv,
and he showed me a ghastly wound ho had re
ceived from an artilleryman’s cutlass at the
storming of the Malakofif. The cut had been
down through his left shoulder, severing his
collar bone and nearly lopping off that arm.
I hat side of the old gentleman’s body was
about an inch lower than the other, but he
was not otherwise bothered by the Crimean
reminisence.

An Essay art, Corns,
BY LITTLE JOHNNY.
Corns are of two kind—vegetable and
animal. Vegetable corn grows in rows *
animal corn grows on toes. There are several
kinds of corn ; there is the unicorn, capricorn,
corn dodgers, field corn, and the corn which,
is tho corn you most feel. It is said, I be
lieve, that gophers like corns ; but persona
having corns do not like to “go fur” if they
can help it. Corns have kernels, and somo-
Colonels have corns. Vegetable corns grow
on cars, but animal corns grow on the feet
the other end of the body. Another kind oJf
corn is the acorn ; these kind grow on oaks*
but there is no hoax about the corn. The,
acorn is a corn with an indefinite article indeed,.
Try it and see. Many a man lie has a
corn wishes it was an acorn. Folks that have
corns sometimes send for a doctor, and, iT
the doctor himself is corned, he probably
won’t do so well as if he isn’t. The doctor
says corns are produced by tight booU and,
shoes, which Is probably the reason why*
when a man is tight, they say he is corned*
If a farmer manages well, he can get a good
deal of corn on an acre, but I know of *
farmer who has a corn that makes the biggest
achcr on his farm. The bigger crop of’
vegetable corn a man raises the better he likes,
it; but the bigger crop of animal corn, tho.
better he does not like it. Another kind ot
corn is the corn dodger. The way it is made,
is very simple, and is as folio is if
you want to know : You go along the street,
and meet a man you know has a corn, anl
a rough character ; then you step on tho too
that has a corn on it, and sec if you don’t,
have occasion to dodge.
Advice to Young Ladies.
Ladies—caged birds of beautiful plumagOy
but sickly looks—pale pets of the parlor,,
who vegetate in unhealthy atmosphere, like'
the potato germinating in a dark cellar, why
do you not go into the open air and warm,
sunshine, and add luster to your eyes, bloom,
to your cheeks, elasticity to your steps, and
vigor to your frames ? Take exercise ; run
up the hill on a wager, and down again for
tun ; roam the fields, climb the fences, leapt
the ditches, wade the brooks, and, after a,
day of exhilarating exercise and unrestrained,
liberty, go home with an appetite acquired
by healthy enjoyment. The beautiful and
blooming young lady—rosy-cheeked and
bright-e} T ed—who can darn a stocking, mend
her own frock, command a regiment of pota
and kettles, and he a lady when required, is,
a girl that young men are in quest of for a
wife. But you pining, screwed-up, wasp*,
waisted, doll-dressed, consumption-mortga*.
ged, music-murdering and novel-devouring
daughters of fashion and idleness, aro no,
more fit for matrimony than a pullet is to,
look after a brood of fourteen chickens. .The,
truth is. dear girls, you want less fashionable
restraint and more liberty of action ; more,
kitchen and less parlor; more leg exercise
and le9S sofa; more frankness and loss mock
modest}*. Loosen your waist-strings, and
breathe pure atmosphere, and become some-*,
thing as good and beautiful as nature
designed.
Editor’s Work.
Some people, ignorant of what good editing
is, imagine the getting up of selected rnatto?
to be the easiest work in tho world to do,
whereas it is the nicest work done on any
paper. If they see the editor with scissors
in his hand, they are suro to. say: “Eh 1
that’s the way you get up original matter,
eh ?’ accompanying their new and witty
questions with an idiotic wink or smile, The
facts are that the interest, the variety an<J
usefulness of a paper depend in no small
degree upon the selected matter, and few men
arc capable of the position who would not*
themselves be able to write many of tho arti
cles they select. A sensible editor desires
considerable selected matter, because be
knows that one mind cannot make so fl
a paper as five or six.
