Fie! For iuame!
Governor SflV/.ii, according to law, has
respited a murderer, for two months, who
lias been pronounced insane. The man’s
brother’s are wealthy, aril upon this alone,
some of the press arc hinting that the
Governor was bribed. Great God! what
are we coming to V This that portion of
the press run mad—or are they just accu
sing the Governor of what they would
have done themselves were they ir. liis
place. The latter no doubt is I lie proper
solution of the problem. To these wolves
who would devour an honest reputation
wo would say—that we’ll wager our head
against a live cent niekle that all their in
sinuations in this matter are miserable
lies.’
Governor Smith-
Because, Governor Smith, our present
able and ellicient Executive, does not rush
into print and declare that he will not
under any circumstances serve the people
of Georgia another four years after his
present term of oflice expires, there is
considerable of a howl raised by a portion
oftlic State press. And many of these
ink slingers are crying out against a
“Third Term,” as if the Governor of a
State and the President of the United
Ttates should be governod by the same
-“unwritten law.”
In the first place there are no circum
stances yet brought to light, nor do we
believe there ever will be, which could
possibly justify Governor Smith in staling
that lie would not continue to serve the
people of Georgia in a gubernatorial ca.
pacit.y were they again to request him so
to do. Such silly pronounciamcnlos as
these newspapers wish him to publicly
put forth, would sound very well for some
time-serving politician who never expect
ed to be as highly honored by the people
again, but not for the honest man and
statesman who lias been at the helm of
this great Commonwealth ever since the
exodus of Bullock and his infamous set of
thieves who had brought our State to the
very verge of bankruptcy and ruin. Wliat
official act of James 31. Smith’s can his
enemies point out that has proved in the
least detrimental to the best interests of
the people who called him to be their
head ? Has the financial sta'us of the
State been impaired since the advent of
his administration ? What xvere Georgia
bonds worth in the markets of the world
then and now ? Then they were nomi
nal ; now they are second to but one
Southern State. Has the State retrograd
ed morally since he became Governor ?
The, administration that proceeded him
turned hundreds of condemned felons
amt murderers loose upon society ; lie lias
been extremely careful with the pardon
ing power, and only in a very few pecu
liar instances has he ever exercised it ?
And has he not made a good Chief
Magistrate ? Has he not commanded the
respect due to his high position, and tin.
def his direction lias not Georgia risen
from almost abject despair and degrada'
lion and assumed her wonted proud po.
sit ion in the galaxy of States ?- These
questions should all bo weighed before
the. reputation of James M. Smith should
be subjected to the- assaults of those who
should have a better sense of propriety.
And about this “Third Term” business
let us drop a wool. Some editors, ought
to, and doubtless do, know better, write
as if there never was a Governor of Geor
gia who bad more than two terms of of
fice. Governor Brown not only served
two terms but a third term, and even a
FOURTH TERM ! Suppose the anti-
third tenner in Albany puts that into his
pipe and smokes it, and Joe Brown was
considered while filling those several
terms as one of the best Executives the
State ever had. It would make no ma
terial difference how many terms the Gov
ernor of a State had. He could not, if he
would, be a Dictator or a King, for he
would be subject to the Government of
the United States. In the case of a Presi
dent it is different, especially now as the
country is drawing^) close upon central
ization. The President has great power
allowed him. he has the command of the
nrajy, and with a corrupt and parti zan
Congress at his back he might at some
time dlay the role of Dictator with suc
cess. Not so with the Governor. • In the
yae case, (Ui»t of the President) there is
almost unabridged power ; in (he other
there is none save whic-li is subservient to
the greater.
And there is another class who don't
like Mr. Smith, and that is the army of
disappointed pbiee hunters. They swrrm-
ed in like the locusts of Egypt, and as
there was no use for ail the majority were
disappointed. We pity them.
The Democrat is no henchman of
Governor Smith’s, and it lias severely
criticized some of ids actions, but it de
sires to see fair play, and hence its voice
will ever be heard in the advocacy of it.
County Affairs.
In compliance with an urgent request
of many prominent citizens of this county
that there should lie meetings held for the
purpose of giving an expression of the
wishes and views of the people of Deca
tur in regard to what action they wish to
he taken by their Representatives at the
next session of the Legislature, and to take
into consideration county reforms. We,
therefore announce that a pieliminary
meeting will be held at the Court House
in Bainbridge, on the morning of the first
Saturday in January next, to draft such
written suggestions as they, may deem
necessary—to present to a mass meeting
of ail the citizens of the county to be as
sembled at Bainbridge on the first Tues
day in January. We want a rousing
turnout of the tax payers and voters,
important matters will be discussedAnd
the interest of every one is iuvq'. v ,.j.

Southern heart:
ENDOWMENT Full STUN EWALI, JACKSONS DAUGH
TER.
Charlottesville, Va., I
Nov. 22. 187-3. /
Jin:. II. Seals, Editor aad Proprietor Sunny
South:
Lea it .4:u .- Bul^v T send you a notice of
a m..Yemeni which will be started simulta
neously in Virginia and Georgia, and will
dountlcss receive the enthusiastic and lov
ing favor of all the South When you pub
lish the notice, and thus bring it before the
public, they wifi he prepared for the sub
script-ion paper which will soon he presented.
The movement has received tlic approba
tion ofGen. James L. Kemper, Governor of
Virginia, and is now in the hands of one of
Georgia’s pet heroes for advice and cunside
ration.
By presenting it favorably in your beauti
ful sheet., you will aid in doing honor to the
greatest hero of ottr “Sunny South.”
Respectfully, Douglass,
ENDOWMENT FUND OF JULIA JACKSON.
A movement is now on foot, to endow little
Julia, the child of Stonewall Jackson, and it
is in such hands as will doubtless make it a
success worthy of the name and fame of the
great, man whom two worlds unite to honor.
The soldiers and their families are making
the movement, and chieftains endorse it.
Only in sums of one dollar and hundredth
parts of-one dollar, will subscription be re
ceived, that all may partake of this feast
of love, gratitude and honor, and none be
debarred.
Should larger sums be contributed all in
excess of one dollar from one person will be
entered on the list immediately after the
donor’s name, under the heading “From the
Unreturning Brave.”
All contributors will be enlifled to a prin
tod “List of Contributs.” which will assume
a pamphlet, form should the success he as
great as expected.
In sorest poverty, in deepest distress, let
us come foward and honor our own children
and our dead brothers by heaping a great
blessing upon the child of that chieftain
“upon whose prayer bedewed banner victory
ever seemed to wait.”
Soldiers, what would you give to Jackson
living ? What ought you to give to Jackson’s
cliihl ?
Southern papers will please copy.
A Palpable Kit-
In one of his recent after dinner
speeches, Lord Houghton gives us this
gentle hit:
“I think it is quite right you should
have your centennial, but I do not quite
see what an Englishman has to do with it.
It is a tiling which a philosopher might
almost make ihe foundation of a theory'
thal you who are going to have this mag
nificent celebration of the hundredth year
of your liberation from the horrible rule
of England, at the same time accompany
it with the warmest feeling towards the
British nation.”
The noble lord is quite right. If Eng
lish rule was as “horrible” as xve have
been taught to believe,why should Ameri
cans be so particularly unctuous in their
invitations to England for.tlie coming an
niversary ? Either that rule was not near
ly so bad as it has been made out, or else
we are making great asses of ourselves in
urging John Bull and his family to dance
at the Fonrth-of-Jnly ball. The victims
of tyranny are not generally so extremely
polite to tyrants, and the best thing we
can do—under the peculiar circumstances*
of tlic case—is to let our British cousins
entirely alone. If they choose to come
and help celebrate their own funeral, let
them do so. If not, let them stay away.
