The Savannah News complains f+M-
•Uplly of the different papers in the State
mistaking its ‘attitudetoward MnHill.'ainl
asks “shall we be forced to put hn adver
tisement in the newspapers in regard to
this matter ?” We presume the News U
rather in the predicament of the man who
served on tlia jury, and afterwards eoin-
phtinrd that there wore eleven of the big
gest fool-'UTPTlTt Jufy wHli him lie -ever
sawi Th<? NewS is rill right, pf course,
"but, according to Its reasoning, there are
about 120 newspapers in . Georgia which
are “fools’ 1 of the first water.
The Columbia EftqhiAr states on .high
authority that ex-Provisiomrt Governor
James Johnson will hot run for Governor
on a Radical or Republican ticket. If lie
runs at ail for the position it.will be as an
independent candidate. The Augusta
Chronicle says Judge Johnson had better
make up his mind not to run on any sort
of a ticket for Governor of Georgia unless
he is anxious to experience the sensation
of an encounter with a threshing machine.
Os a Republican, Liberal, Independent
or Democratic tjeket he will be the worst
whipped politician that ever tempted de
feat at the ballot box. • t
The people lof Polk county do not
believe, in newspaper quarrels. The grand
Jui*. at its recent session, made the foL
lowing report to the Court after returning
several indictments. “We also feel it our
duty.lo census the course and conduct of
our two newspapers toward each other,
and urgently request the two editors to
cease wrangling about themselves and
branch off into agricultural articles, or
withers that will tend to develop tho in-
tercets and welfare of our country.”
A Washington special to the Louisville
Courier-Journal says Senator Gordon has
prcpaicd a bill in accordance with the
policy of liis speech in the Senate a few
days ago on the condition of the revenue
servics. The bill applies tire system of
competitive examination for the appoint
ments to the corps of internal revenue of
ficer?! and for promotion therein, and says
that the appointments shall be non-politi
cal. : - 1
Bainbridge wants a museum and to
start the thing we suggest that the citi-
7.eus cage ltussell and Johnston, and ex
hibit them as South Georgia gorillas cap
tured in the jungles of Flint liver.—Fort
yalley Mirror.
A good, a capital idea, certainly. We
would also suggest that the managers of
the museum secure Christoper, stick him
on the end of a long pole and keep him to
scrub up the cage with.
We are not surprised that the Savan
nah Jietes Shouldn’t like it because a “lit
tle country paper” showed up some of its
inconsistencies and irregularities, but we
do feel a little put out that Harris should
show us his teeth in a bad humored way.
What’s tho use of a “Board of Honor” if
it ain’t to be used ? Say, what’s the use?
The March number of the Southern
Historical Society papers is spoken of by
the Richmond Dispatch as a most impor
tant and valuable historical document,
being a full vindication of the Coufedrate
Government against the charge of cruelty
to prisoners.
Gen. Gordon is reported as saying he is
hopeful of the passage of a bill by Con
gress refunding the cotton tax. He thinks
the money will be paid directly into the
State treasuries and be distributed by
local legislation.
Harris, of the Savannah Kevs, has found
another string upon which he plays against
Ben Hill. This time it is about the North
Georgia prisoners. Wipe off your chin,
young man,and wait a few days, and
you’ll hear more about that Gartrcll peti
tion.
Why is it that, we miss getting the
Chronicle & Sentinel for two or three
days, and then get several issues at once ?
We feel lost almost when we are deprived
of Wright’s paragraphs every morning.

f-*nr> fe5"presfiited to the approaching
! gubernatorial convention for re-nonuba-
tion.”
While we arc not surprised at the
Governor’s action in withdrawing his
najiuTfroin the approaching convention,
we, in common with the people of our
section of the State regret it most ex
ceedingly. We had hoped that he
would have succeeded himself in his
present high position, in which he lias
shed not only such great lustre about
his .own name, but that of the Southern
Empire State, for reasons often given
in our columns and which need no repe
tition now. Since his election to the
Speakership of the Georgia House of
Representatives, he has been our choice
first, last and all the time for the Gov
ernorship. His election to that posi
tion two times subsequently by the peo
ple shows conclusively in this respect
that the Democrat cwght the drift of
public opinion. No Governor’s ad
ministration has been abler, nor has
given fuller and more complete satis
faction to the State than has his ; and
while he has ever and anon been as
sailed by fictitious correspondents and
n ndescript politicians, his administra
tion has never needed vindication before
his constituency nor the common coun
try. These are lacts which will live
forever in the history of our Common
wealth.
It were perhaps, however, a fitting
time for the Governor to announce his
determination of retiring from his
arduous labors. From a gang of official
desparadoes and robbers he grasped the
he 1 w of State, and safely moored her
from a sea of chaos, bankruptcy, radi
calism, despotism and bayonets, to a
harbor of peace and prosperity. The
tendency of his administration has been
onward and upward, until now Georgia
stands the greatest country in the
Southern galaxy, while he is at the
higlit of popularity as her Chief Magis
trate ; and the coming generations will
write, that he.had never a peer in the
Gubernatorial line, where he stood pre
eminently the first.

fTo'ii. jpmes M. ISi'iith,' Atlanta, fi’i,’
Li ear .San—jiie undersigned, Jour for
mer neighbors,, hud still your friends, 'have
with greatiaur prise. and indignation, read
the unwarranted assaults upon you and
your administration, and through your ad
ministration upon the Democrats party of
Georgia, by correspondents through the
public press, the most notable of which ap
peared in a recent issue of the New York
Herald, and through such means ha e
Mined a wide circulation in the States of
the Union, calculated to prejudice, not only
the high standing of our State, but the good
uatne of the Democratic party of Georgia.
We do not know from whom these attacks
have proceeded, whether from the holders
of discredited bonds, partisans or personal
enemies. We believe, however, that they
do both you and the party which placed you
in power gross injustice and place yo^jn a
position where the good name of the State,
the welfare of the party which placed you
in office,- as well as your own dignity, re
quire that the truth or falsity of these as
saults shall be brought for decision before
the people-of Georgia. And to that end, we
very respectfully urge upon you the great
propriety of meeting these assaults by again
permitting your name to be placed before
the people of Georgia as a candidate for re
nomination to the office of Governor by the
Democratic party of Georgia.
Should you consent to do so, we feel as
sured that you will be sustained by a ma
jority at least eptal to that given you at the
last election.
li e are,-very respectfully,
Your friends and fellow citizens,

WASHINGTON-
Of course our readers look every
week for us to give them the “news
from Washington-” If we had a daily
edition of the Democrat we might
keep up,to some extent, with the move
ments of men and things at the Nation’s
Capitol; but to even attempt to crowd
the huge mass of events into-a weekly
newspapef wi re a vain task.
We thought we would at least keep
up with the current of investigation,
but we find that also impossible It is
nothing else but i lvestigation—and t$ie
more they investigate, the more hide
ously rotten appears every department
of our Government. ’Twcre enough to
make every honest American blush to
the very roots of his hair to read the
details of infamy which are being
made at every step, for they certainly
have placed a tarnish upon the fair
name of this great country which never
can be erased. From the President
down, it seems that it is fraud, corrup
tion and infamy.
There are now going on between thir
ty and forty special investigations, and
there is no guessing when the end will
be or what results will be brought
forth.
The Committees, says the Savannah
A'i’ics, are developing an amount of offi
cial corruption and rascality in all the
departments of the government that is
truly astounding. Each day
the details of new villianies, until it is
impossible for the press to keep up
with the disgraceful record, and it is to
be apprehended that the public, though
only half informed of the fraud and
rascality in high places, from the
White House down to the smallest of
ficial trust, will become so thoroughly
wearied, bewildered and confounded,
so familiarized with the endless recital
of new villainies, that the people will
come to regard utter rottenness as the
normal condition of the government,
and cease to take note of or be -astonish
ed at auythiug that may occur, short of
TUE REPLY OF HIE GOVERNOR.
Atlanta, Ga., April 7, 1870.
Messrs, K, H. Chilton, YV. L. Salisbury,
John H. Martin. W. J. Watt, Peter Freer,
and E. C. Hood, Columbus, Ga:
My Dear Sirs ; I have the honor to ac
knowledge the receipt of your fitvor of the
13th ultimo, asking me to allow my name to
be presented to the people for re-nomina
tion for the office of governor ef Georgia-
The gravity of the question, thus presented,
will I trust, be accepted as a sufficient rea
son for any delay in replying to your es
teemed communication.
It is known to you, gentlemen, as well as
to other friends in different parts of the
State, that I have not desired a re-election
to the- office I now hold. So far as my own
personal feelings are concerned, I have
made no secret of my intention to retire at
the expiration of my present term. If for
a little while past, I have appeared to occu
py a different position from that originally
taken and frequently announced, it was in
consequence of assaults made on my admin
istration, and, indirectly through me. upon
the legislature and the democratic party in
the state.
It is not necessary to discuss the motives
which inspired these attacks, further than
to say, that they were of such a character
as, in my judgment, made it proper for me
to suspend my first intention, and hold my
self in a position to answer any .demand
which the party might think fit to lay upon
me. It is now manifest, however, that any
injury resulting from the.se assaults has
fallen alone upon those whose interests they
wore designed to subserve, whether the
sailants be, as you suppose, “the holders of
discredited bonds, partisans, or personal
enemies.”
This consideration leaves nnr free to re
turn to my original purpose and desire, and
to decline, as I now do, with great respect,
to have my name presented to the approach
ing gubernatorial convention for renoinina-
tiou.
I cannot conclude this communication
without returning thanks to you for the flat
tering terms in which you are pleased to ex
press your friendly regards for me. I de
sire, also, to make my grateful acknowl
edgments to the people of Georgia, for the
unmerited honor they have conferred upon
me, and for the generous support they have
accorded my efforts to administer the great
trust confided to my' hands. When we re
call the chaotic state in which we found
every department of the government in 1872,
and contrast it. with our present peaceful
and happy condition, I feel that we all have
cause lor congratulation. Our public debt
has been ascertained, and the interest on it
is now regularly paid ; while our bonds are
to-day rated far above par in the great cen
tres of trade. Our educational system has
been established on a solid foundation ; our
varied resources are being rapidly and sys
tematically developed; and our judiciary,
for integrity and ability, is second to none
in the entire Union.
I can only wish that the prosperous ca
reer upon which we have entered may suf
fer no check ; an4 that both in our State
and Federal relations, we may enjoy for
many generations to come, the blessing of
peace and liberty. I am, gentlemen, your
friend and ob’t serv’t,
James M. Smith.
