In a mom malignant am trill
One of our State exchanges heads the
Goldsmith sentence thus: “A cruel and
unjust punishmeut inflicted upon a good
niau." Such expressions as this, from
papers which profess to mould public sen
timent, arc not calculated to do much
good—Indeed, great mischief will result
therefrom. Tho late Comptroller Gener
al wub found guilty, after a fair and im
partial trial, of several of the grave charges
brought against him, and instead of his
"punishment" being “cruel and unjust”
wo tbiuk it altogether just. No man is
“good” who abuses the trust reposed In
him ns Mr. Goldsmith is proven to have
done; and if tho offenso is adjudged by
Ills peers of sufficient hoinouBness to dis
qualify him from holding any office of hon
or or trust over afterwards in his Slate,
ho certainly hns no one to blame but him
self. If more of our public officials were
dealt with iu this way it would bo better
for tho pence nnd happiness of tho coun
try—aud this we aro in favor of wherever
crookedness’’ in officials is found.
Some of tho younger members of the

Since tho Stale liouso corruptions havo
been unearthed, we have heard it as
serted that Bullock’s administration was
an honest (I) ono when compnred to
the present State administration. Of
course this assertion comes from those
who are not particularly friendly to Gov
ernor Colquitt or the democracy. But
admitting this to bo true, (which wo do
not,) there is a very great difference be
tween tho two administrations. In tho
one case the Radical party, through its
corrupt officials, made way with hundreds
of thousands of dollars of the State’s
money, and nobody was impeached or.
punished by that party; while in tho oth
er a Dpmoeratic Legislature is diligently
searching out all rotten officials in Its ranks
nnd holding them to a Btrict account—
and the financial crookedness these offi
cials liavo been guilty of thus far bas not,
by actual figures, amounted to but a very
small sum when compared to the “fin
gerings" of tho Bullockitcs,
was not sustained. All tho rest were. A I ernor was cool nud placid. Ho Boomed j mu “ m Sp'** forra ,n tllu

Why is it that when ono of tho "a-r-
g-a-n-i-z-c-d” is found guilty of official
crookedness tho independent press seize
upon it with Bucli greediness nnd air tho

their wishy-washy, mnudlin squibs? They

Our little ueighbor across tho street is
mistaken in asserting that tee Bald in last

only be hoped for through hard money.”
Wo were absent from tho city during all

hard money’’ or any other sort of monoy.
Wo Btnnd to-day whore wo have stood for
years, (ns tho files of our paper will show,)
opposed to tho bondholders nnd all who
wink at tho grinding law that legalizes
their oppression and robbery of tho work
ing classes. Tho Bame money for the rich
and the same for the toiling millions is
our motto. An inflation uf greenback
currency nad paying off tho gold bonds nt
once in thnt sort of monoy is what we are
unalterably in favor of, no difference if it
is “flatlsm,’’ for this, in our opinion, is
tho only thing that will save the country
from financial ruiu.
The Boston Globe believes that young

There is some truth is this remark; but

The Columbus Times snys: "Would it

sign, if there is tho least suspicion of
"crookedness” in offleo attaching to any
ono of tbom. Investigation is first in or

Bro. Ham, of tho Gainesville Eagle,
says we have got too much politics in this
country, and suggests that some of it be
swnpped off for religion and patriotism,
l’rotty good for you, brother; but where
will we go to swap off tho worthless stuff?
Tho troublo is, we hnvc too man elections
and too mnny offices to till. If we had
fewer elections—say one-half as many—
and fewer offices to fill, and to theso offices
elect our best men—men of undoubted
honesty—there would be a great chaugu
in the condition of tilings nil over the
couutry in a very short time—financially,
commercially nud every other way.
Tii'e Detroit Free Press ridicules the
moral assumptions of tho Republican parly
tliUB: “The profligate Senator of one grant
Stato (Conkling) carries the party vote of
that State in his pockot; another Senator
(Chandler), whose drunken habits aro tho
daily subject of jeering commcul all over
the land, is the chosen and accepted stan
dard bearer of his party in his State nnd
tho choice of himself for higher honors.
And still another, whose record ns a
stock jobber (Blaine) would havo coven d
n man iu humblu position with infamy, is
a prominent candidate for a Presidential
nomination.”
Although some of the opponents of
tho “organized" have stuck tho impeach
ment lentlier in tho cap of the Indepen
dents nud cry, “ ‘Great is Diana’—we
did it—there would havo been no im
peachment but for us"—wo nevertheless
hope every guilty official connected with
the Slate department nt Atlanta will bo
exposed and brought to speedy and mer
ited puuishment. None should be suf
fered to escape—wo want a pure, honest
party.
Butler, it is reported, is pushing his
canvass for tho office of Governor of Mas-
sachusectts quietly but effectively. It is
said that quite a lnrge number of both
parties who voted against him last year
aro willing to support him this yenr, not
because they like him, but becauso they
boliovo that if he is allowed,to be Govern
or onco he will be satisfied, nud will not
trouble lh.o Slate auy further ns far ns
politics is concerned.
The Wilmington (N. C.) Bevietc says
Dr. W. J. Gilbert, of Fremont, has sent
us a section of what is generally supposed
to he a rib of n mastodou. This rib,
which weighed 274 pounds and was eight
feet in length aud with a diameter of elev
en inches, was dug out of the marl pit on
the land of Mr. Sasser, near Fremont,
some ten feet below the surface.
A NEIOHBOR informs us that his wife
never knew a quiet night until the doc
tor prescribed Dr. Bull’s Baby Syrup for
reliovo him of tho penalty of disqualifica
tion to hold office during life. Mnny
warm speeches wore mndo in Ills favor,
nnd much sympathy expressed for him.
But the effort failed, aud in tho presence
of au immense audlcnco, tho unfortunate
gentleman was sentenced by tho Chief
Justice to tho full punishment of removal
from his office and disqualification forever
to hold office. Nothing less than a con
vention of tho people can removo his dis
qualification.
Goldsmith holds an Isolated position.
There are many men disfranchised by
crime, but they can bo restored by the
Governor’s clemoncy to citizenship. But
the victims of impeachment are beyond
the Executive clemency. Goldsmith,
therefore, stands to-day the ono solitnry
example of his class, the single political
outcast among all tho people of Georgia
among whom ho was born, tho lono exile
from tho privileges of citizenship in all
tho oroad State, tho one hopeless victim
of an irreparable ostracism from tho rights
dear to all freemen. It recalls tho doom
of the wanderer, Cain, with tbo brand up
on him lllnt cut him off from bumnnlty.
Goldsmith's sentence partakes of tho na
ture of this Bolemn, unattended, exclu
sive, dreadful penalty. He has no broth
erhood In his disgraco, no companionship
in his isolated stigmn.
THE NEW COMPTROLLER.
Tho Governor has appointed Mr. Wm.
A. Wright ns Comptroller for tho bal
ance of Goldsmith’s term. About four-
fifths of tho General Assembly recom
mended Wright to tho Governor for tho
appointment. Mr. Wright was a clerk in
the office, thoroughly acquainted with the
duties. Tho Comptroller’s office is the
most complicated in tho Stato govern
ment. Tho appointment has given uni
versal satisfaction. Mr. Wright is a son
of tho InteGon. A. R. Wright, of Augus
ta, so well known in Georgia.
Thus ends this episode, which will
stand out for years to como the most
dreary nnd exciting tho State has over
known.
THE TREASURER.
Tho liouso determined by a large ma
jority to impeach Col. J. W. Renfroe, tho
Treasurer. This morning the articles of
impeachment, six in number, were for
mally presented by the managers to the
Senate. There iB a great conflict of opin
ion on Renfioc’s case. It is doubtful if
tho public will sustain his impeachment.
Ills oiler to pay into tho Treasury tho in
terest taken and resign bis office, gave,
without an expensive impeachment, all
the practical results without tho cost or
Urouble of tho proceeding. The fact that
Renfroe frankly told tho matter himself,
that be used uot a dollar of tho Stato’s
monoy, that ho had both precedent and
law for taking tho interest, that ho did not
mean to violate law, that he has made
tho best Treasurer tbe State has ever had,
that he has by his reforms saved tho State
his salary for many years, and that tho
only consequence of an impeachment be
yond what he has offered to do, is his per
petual disqualification for offleo, whoso
prosperity is doubtflil, all these facts I say
are being used very much iu his favor,
and are making a profound impressiou.
It is claimod thnt his case is broadly dif
ferent from tho Comptroller’s, the latter
taking public money nnd he not doiug so,
but simply getting outside mouey from
tbe banks. Thera will bo a strong fight
over his case. His loading counsel is Gen.
Henry R. Jackson, of Savnuuah, proba
bly the most brillinut and cloqueut feren-1
Bic orator to-day iu Georgia, a gentleman
of magnetic power, and a rare lawyer.
NELMS.
Perhaps the most thrilling scene of all
these investigation matters occurred in
the debato on Nelms, the principal keep-
or of tho Penitentiary. Thera were threo
reports, you remember. Chambers nnd
Gnrrard lead the prosecution. Chambers
offered a resolution instructing tho Gov
ernor to removo Nelms. They were ng-
gressivo nnd denunciatory. It seemed ns
if Nelms wns gone. Tho current wns
seemingly ngninst him. Luffumn, of
Murray, offered a substitute to remit the
thing to tho Governor. It wns voted
down. Northern, of Hancock, offered a
substitute simply censuring Nelms. It
wns voted down. Wilson, of Campbell,
offered a substitute to refer the matter to
the Judiciary Coinmittco to either im
peach or do whatover they deemed proper.
Just here there camcastorin as sudden,
unexpected nud stirring as ever occurred.
It lit the horizon with lightuiug. It fell
like a cyclone upon the great crowd.
Phillips,of Cobb, aroso and charged boldly
thnt theGovcrnor wns as guilty as Nelms,
nnd ifNcln)8 went the Governor should go.
The saying wns a thunder shock. Men's
hair rose. Humber, of Putnam, follow
ed with a rapturous endorsement of
Phillips. Tho excitement wns at white
bent. Tho nttack ou tho Governor mndo
some men shudder and others,his enemies,
exult. A cool, sternly young fellow, Du-
Bose, of Hancock, threw some cold water
ou the Humbers by saying that tho Gov
ernor was not under investigation. Turn
er,of Brooks,level-brained aud just,follow
ed on the same liue. Tho vote was taken
on Wilson’s substitute and was lost by a
close vote.
At this momeut Humber put the torch
to the inugaziue. He offered a substitute
censuring Governor Colquitt for Nelms’
conduct, nnd the House ndjourned in a
blaze of feeling.
Humber is tho member who was nnd
is on tho committee to report upon tho
Tuggle fee. It will be remembered thnt
thu liouso called for information from tho
Governor, aud Humber, though a mem
ber of the committee, moved to lay the
message on the table iustend of referring
it to tho committee. He seems to like the
Executive as much ns the devil docs holy
water.
It would be difficult to describe tlie ex
citement that prevailed Hint night. For
once and at last Gov. Colquitt’s friends
were aroused. The attempt to censure
the Governor when lie was uot couuecte.1
welcomed thu chance to meet squarely tho
senseless warfare that was ovor threaten
ing him.
When morning entno nnd tlio liouso
mot, tho vote was taken without debate,
aud 110 men voted agnlusl and 13 for
Humber's resolution. It was mashed out
of cxlstonco. Tho storm created fright-
oued tho men who evoked it. It was nn
overwhelming squelch of a most outra
geous nttoinpt, and it has had a salutary
effect. Tho liouso then passed a substi
tute offered by Turner, of Brooks, tho
loader of tho body, referring tho matter
to tho Governor to do as ho doomed prop-
or. This was by a vory lnrgo voto. Tho
committee No. 1, who was against Nolms,
wns Borely discomfited. Tho Humber
crowd were crushed out.
Tho thing illustrates tho unreasonable
spito of the foes tho Governor, who aro
ready to strike him without cause nnd ou
auy pretext.
JANES.
Dr. Janes, the Commissioner of Agri
culture, has resigued. His reason for so
doing is that lie is convincrjl 1.1ml. tlm im
position to tho Bureau is simply personal
opposion to him, and ho is unwilling that
the cause should sulfur through him.—

BROWN AND OARRAIID.
There is a lively little scrimmage pro
gressing, ns a sort of sido show to tho
Nelms investigation. The committee
have gotten some prettysevore rubs about
tho manner of tho investigation, conduct
ing it secretly nnd not allowing the accus
ed to confront nnd cross-examino the wit
nesses ngninst him. Gov. Brown, as a
witness, condemned this sort of thing.—
Garrard, of tlie committee, in his speech
ngainst Nelms, wont for Gov. Brown tart
ly, making a bitter assault ngninst him
and raking up some old matters. Look
out for hot Bhot from tlio ex-Governor,
who is not wont to let his foemcn off easi
ly. I predict a scorcher in the way of n
reply, nnd I further predict thnt the pub
lic will find something interesting for their
perusal.
When the discussion wns going on Mr.
Russell, of Chatham, ono of tho best mem
bers of the House, a sterling old gentle,
mau, oue of the best of men, made a spir
ited speech warmly protesting against the
impropriety of lugging into tho discussion
either Gov. Colquitt’s or ex-Gov. Brown’s
name. He struck tho right key and wns
overwhelmingly endorsed.
Tho sensations are getting over. Tho
excitement will soon be all passed. It
will have been a stormy session, memor
able for a good deal of unnecessary fuss
and nonsense, yet doing a little good.—

This standard article is compound
ed with the greatest care.
Its effects arc as wonderful and as
satisfactory as ever.
It restores gray or faded hair to its
youthful color.
It removes all eruptions, itching
nnd dandruff. It gives tlie head a
cooling, soothing sensation of great
coinfort, and the scalp by its use
becomes white and clean.
By its tonic properties it restores
the capillary glands to their normal
vigor, preventing baldness, and mak
ing the hair grow thick and strong.
As'a dressing, nothing has been
found so effectual or desirable.
