THE SAVANNAH NEWS
Wt have ueeo a silent though none
the leas interested witwewto the contro
versy between the Savannah i>ews and
the Atlanta Constitution, relative to the
State Iload Lease bribery business, and
we feel no little gratification at the
handsome manner in which the News
has sustained its side of the question.
We are gratified because we feel that
the position token by the News in this
matter reflects the sentiments of the
true and honest portion of the press of
Georgia, and on this occasion was the
special champion of those editoru .who
possess the true manhood which we
think ought to belong to every mem
ber of the fourth estate. We are fur
ther gratified because it has been prov
en that we have at least a few papers in
Georgia that cannot be bought to do
any dirty work which may be assigned
them—not even to publishing ten dollar
sketches.
The News has loqg been very justly
the pride of newspaper admirers in
Georgia, and this last successful vindi
cation of its principles toward right,
honesty and decency has advanced it
yet higher in the estimation of honest
men everywhere. As for ourselves, wc
have not for a single moment had our
confidence shaken in the paper, and
did not require the truth-impressed ed
itorial of Col. Thompson, or the “card”
of Mr. Estill, to assist us in arriving
at a conclusion—that conclusion being
that the position assumed in the out
set by the News has been fully sus
tained.
We do not write this to censure the
Constitution, for that paper has already
met with a solid rebuke during its ad
vocacy of a bad cause, but to commend
the News for its devotion to truth and
right, and to give it thanks for the
bold and uncompromising defence put
up in favor of the morality of the press
of Georgia.
Beecher’s brethren manage to keep
him constantly in hot water. He is
now, says the Hartford Times, threat
ened with witnesses against himself and
Mrs Tilton from an unexpected quar
ter, in the person of Mrs. Barron and
her husband, of the Twin Mountain
House. This mountain hostelrie is
well known as Mr. Beecher’s annual
resort in August and September, when
he flees to the hills to escape the “hay
fever.” It seems Mrs. Tilton has also
been troubled with that complaint.
,‘No fair person ” Bays the Chicago
Inter Ocean, “will endeavor to make
party oapital out of the downfall of
Gen, Belknap.” Perhaps not, remarks
the Atlanta Herald, but the suggestion
comes with rather poor grace from pa
pers of the Inter-Ocean stripe, which
sought to prove, after Beu Hill’s speech
on amnesty, that the Democratic party
was a secession party and that its de
signs was to disrupt the Union.
Many constitutional lawyers express
the opinion that Governor Kellogg, of
Louisiana, has no legal right to appoint
a United States Senator, now that the
Senate has refused to admit Pinchback,
and that a vacancy must of necessity
exist until the meeting of the next
Legislature, which convenes January,
1877. This Legialatuie will also elect
Senator West’s successor.
In their desperation of soul, the Rad
icals are trying to retaliate on their
Democratic opponents, by privately cir
culating slanders against prominent
members of that party. It is too thin,
however, and won’t work to any hurt
ing extent.
The Mississippi Senate, by a vote of
32 to 4, found Lieut-Governor Davis
guilty, as oharged in the articles of
impeachment. He will step down and
out, and Gov. Ames will soon follow to
keep him company,
Twe white men named Robert and
John Crawford, living in Madison ooun-
ty, Fla., who recently married negro
wives, were taken out and whipped one
night last week, by a party of unknown
men. They left the county.

sition of State Printer, and Mr. H. G.
Wright, of the Augusta Chronicle &

THE PUBLIC PRINTER RESIGN*
IN DISGUST”-A. DISGUST
ING PROCEEDING.
Atlanta, Ga.. March 3, 1876.
To James M. Smith, Governor of Georgia-
Sin: On Thursday the 2nd instant, L
tendered you a goodand sufficient bond
for the faithful discharge of iny duties as
State Printer, signed by me as principal
and Messrs James P. Harrison & Co., and
ffm. McNaught <fc Co., as securities.—
Either of these firms was ample security.
You saw fit tc* return it with a technical
objection unworthy of consideration.
As the State work is now accumulating
and the time within which the law re
quires it to be executed, rapidly passing,
it becomes necessary for me, without
further delay, to take decided action.
From information lately received, I am
fully impressed that the offer of five hun
dred dollars to Mr. Geo. W. Adair, to in
duce him to come off of my bond, was
instigated by a certain party connected
witli your official household, if not by
you. I have the most positive evidence
that you had an interview with another
of my bondsmen, and used your utmost
influence to get him to change his mind.
Believing that the continuance of such
petty malignity must necessarily result in
damage to the States’ interest, I have de
cided to decline any longer to bold office
under you, and herewith tender you this,
my unqualified resignation of tbe office of
Public Printer.
I sincerely hope that this will appease
your malice and give you the opportuni
ty to bestow the office wherever you
think “it wiil do the most good."
Respectfully,
R. A. Alston*, Public Printer.
Atlanta, Ga., March 6, 1876.
Col. R. A. Alston, Atlanta, Ga:
Stii—l am directed by the Governor to
inform you that lie accepts your resigns
tion of the office of Public State Printer
tendered this day, and also to enclose for
your information a copy of a telegram re
ceived from tbe Hon. Patrick Walsh, and
copies of letters from Messrs. G. W.
Adair, J. S. LawtoD, and J. B. Campbell.
I am, sir, yours respectfully,
J. W. Warren,
Secretary Executive Dep’t.

Atlanta, Ga., March 6, 1876.
Governor James M. Smith, Atlanta. Ga.
Dear Sir—In reply to your note of
this date I wi.l say that in handing the
bond for Public Printer, back to Col. Als
ten, by your instructions, I distinctly
stated to Col. Alston that it was returned
only for correction iu matter of form. It
was without witness, 1 said, and while
the Governor recognized the signature of
Col. Alston, he was not acquainted with
the signatures of the securities, Messrs.
McNaught & Co., and Harrison & Co. I
stated to Col. Alston that th« Governor’s
requirements would be complied with, if
the securities would go before a Justice
of the peace, or come before him (the
Governor) and acknowledge their signa
tures. I was particular in assuring Col.
Alston that the Governor did not reject
the bond, and only returned it for correc
tion in. matter of form, which be felt it to
be his duty to do. Col. J. R. Snead was
present at the interview, and I think, will
corroborate this statement.
Very respectfully, yourob’t serv’t,
J. B Campbell.
[Copy.]
Atlanta, Ga., March 6, 1876.
Governor James M. Smith.
Dear Sir—In reply to yours of this
date, I beg to say that, in our conversa
tion about the bond of R. A. Alston,
Public Printer, you did not directly or
indirectly attempt to influence me
member of the firm of Jas. P. Harrison
* Co., against that firm becoming surety
on said bond, and that after the conversa
tion alluded to, I did state to Col. Alston
and others that you said to me that the
sureties to said bond were perfectly good,
and that you had returned it only that it
might be properly attested.
Yours Respectfully,
James S. Lawton.
[Copy.]
Atlanta, Ga., March 6,1876.
His Excellency, Gov. Smith:
Sir—Your letter of inquiry, about my
reasons for withdrawing from Col. R. A.
Alston’s bond as State Printer,is received.
Neither you nor any one of your “official
household” ever offered me five hundred
dollars to withdraw from his bond, nor
tried iu any way to influence me in the
matter. The parties making the effort
were in no way connected with you, nor
the State government. My reasons for
withdrawing were given in my written
application to you, to be relieved as se
curity on his bond. I have the honor to
be, Very respectfully,
(Signed) G. W. Adair.
[Copy of Telegram.]
Augusta, Ga., March 6, 1876.
To Gor. James M. Smith.
The charge made by Col. Alston is not
true, as to myself. You did not use any
influence with me. My action was based
solely on account of my desire to save
myself from loss as security on the bond
of R. A. Alston as Public Printer.
(Sigstfd.) Patrick Walsh.
With all the above evidence storing
him in the face Alston proceeds to hang
out to the last, iu the following lame
and silly style, which must surely fill
all who read with disgust that is suie
enough disgust:
I stated in my letter of resignation that
the Governor saw fit to return my bond
with a “technical objection unworthy of
consideration.’* I say so still, and noth
ing in Mr. Campbell’s letter shows to the
contrary. It would be idle for Governor
Smith to attempt to make any one believe
that I would have forged the names of
James P. Harrison & Co., and Wm. Mc
Naught & Co., or that either of these
firms would plead non estfactum to their
bond. Therefore, I repeat, that when the
Governor acknowledged the bond to be a
good bond,and returned it merely because
he “did not know whether those firms
bad signed it or not,” the objection was
•‘technical” in the last degree, and gave
me such disgust that I decided to resign.
It is astonishing to us that the world
has moved a day after March 3rd. the
date of iho great Alston’s manifesto of
disgust, mush less that the government
of Georgia has gone along in ite “even
tenor” as if nothing extraordinary had
occurred. We say, astonishing; sad
we mean it. Think of it fellow-citizens,
• *1 #
think o' it upon your bended knees
wit jour heads bowed down, as a token
> , our humbleness.
Just think, again. Robert A. Alston,
the ali-puissant printer of Georgia laws
and documents, has been subjected to
the “malice" of the puny Governor of
this commonwealth. Why Governor
earitlcft go before a Justice of; Hie
Peace, or even come before him, (the
Governor) and acknowledge their *ig-
natures. " Horrible to relate !
Now if these securities bad beer* on
the bond of a common citaken, sucb
many we could name, of course there
would have been no forfeiture of ‘stand
ing’ “dignity," etc., in their legally
qualifying themselves on a bond, nor
would such citizen hare considered tbe
plain letter of the law a “technical ob
jection.” But alas! alas t We poor
mortals are not all Lord Alstons.
That “technical objection” floored
his Lordship. It was more than his
delicate, nay his aristocratic olfactories
could stand. The idea t of Robert A.
Alston’s word not being as good at
‘•big bonanza,” or a corner lot. Oh,
how that proud form put on the look
of the frog that attempted to swallow
an ox ! and how those blooded nostrils
dillated, and that noble bosom heaved,
and that lip curled with disdain, and
that eye shot darts of forked-tongue
lightning, when the noble Alston, with
tbe Governor crouching at his feet,
said iu thunder tones: “the objection
was technical in the last degree, and
gave me such disgust that I decided to
resign !”
This business has given Lord Alston
great ‘disgust,” according to his ow.i
showing, but his advocacy of the pay
ment of the Bullock bogus bonds, by
virtue of money paid him by one H- I.
KinibaU, did not occasion him any ‘dis*
gust’ in the slightest possible manner.
And we have noticed many little things
connected with Lord Alston’s career,
that would have given lesser-lights, that
is to say, every day people and citizens,
intense disgust, but the Lord “took
none of it in his’n.”
Good bye, Alston.

BEN HILL.
As a Georgian we heartily protest
against this eternal barking, by punny
newspaper driblets, at Mr. Hill. If
there ever was a man of whom his en
tire State should feel proud just at this
time, that man eertainly is Ben Xlill of
Georgia. You may talk of “policy”—
and we beswitched if we don’t wish that
particular word could be wiped out of
tbe English language—and you may
chant about “digging up dead is
sues,” but we thank God that we have
some one iu Congress who possesses the
brains to know the truth, and knowing
it, dares to assert it. If to tell the
truth, and to vindicate history, is to do
Wiong, then Mr«Hill has erred, grossly
erred ; but, until you reverse the di
vine injunction, which says “speak ye
the truth to all nations of the earth,”
we contend Mr. Hill is right, and is
justified by the divine principles of
truth and justice in everything he has
said or done since being a member of
the Congress of the nation. It is in
peculiarly bad taste, then, for a parcel
of whining grovelers at home—who
have been elected, by a unanimous vote
of one, censors for the public at large—
to cry.him down while actively engag
ed in pleading the rights and showing
up the wrongs of the Southern people.
But no, “policy,” “conciliation,” must
be our mission, while insult upon insult,
and outrage after outrage are heaped
upon us. Oh yes, ’tis well that a Blaine
should frame the insult, and then for
the blood-hounds of his camp to catoh
up the refrain, and bearing it aloft, lie
begets lie, until the whole becomes i
monster pyramid of hell-conceived in
famies against the South. But Hill
must be utterly silent amid this clash of
slander and abuse, say these whining
time-servers. We say, throw such phy
sic to the dogs, we’ll none of it.

One of the presiding officers of the
Georgia Legislature, says the Savannah
News, is credited with the following :
“Since the developments of the investU
gating committee of the Legislature in
the matter of the State Road Lease, no
honest man will care what Georgia
newspapers say of him or his aotions.”
This, of course, is one ef the legitimate
results of the developments alluded to,
but Col. Tom Hardeman, or Col. T. J.
Simmons, as the case may be, ought to
inject more discretion into their post
prandial remarks. We can show these
gentlemen a list of more than forty
Georgia newspapers that have express
ed their emphatic disapproval of the
thica” of Atlanta journalism, and
there are doubtless many othere of the
same opinion, that have not felt called
upon to make any comments.
