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. Ex Officio. Child c? the "Lost Cause-” Fry in due forthcoming issue of our ster- Vmg Southern literary journal, the Sunny South, we extract the following which will, we know, commend itself heartily to every 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. —St. Lmis Bepublican. Decatur County Sheriff’s Sales.
