inquiry to find out whether that officer
has been using too much wax in im

whoa they voted what should be the
Newspaper rate ad mortising milter'
pertainin'? to county offices. We ven
ture to say that a-! who voted for this
measure iret about twenty five cents per
day at homo, an ’ their employers tret
cheated at t 1 at. We agree to fiirnish
in their place in the next Legislature
Ixt’er hands for fitly rents a dav. It
is SO (dear that thi* matter is entirely
outside of the providence of legislation
that no one hut a fool would debate it
#6y*Wo ha 1 e heard a satisfactory
reason assigned why there were no in
vestigations by Bullock's Legislature :
there were so many rascals in that body
there were not enough left to make a
committee out of.
One of that class recently remarked
“Wenre waking things up in Atlanta
now." He doubtless thought ‘‘don’t we
apples swim?
Legislature should know its
business better than we do. But us
the members thereof seem so anxious on
the subject of political economy, .we .
will venture this suggestion : would it
not ho hotter for this body to get
through with its 1 business of legislation,
before the Senate commences tin? im
peachmeut trial against the comptroller,
so that 'he Hqo can adjourn and go
home ? The trial of Echols, Simms and
Flournoy in 1808, three commissioners
for disposing of frstfional surveys, Im
peached for making false returns of
pales, etc., consumed over a mouth.
The testimony in that case, we are
informel, was voluminous, but proba
bly not more so than will be the evi
dence for and against tho Comptroller. >
Hence the expenses of tho Sena’e j
during and consequent upon his trial ;
will probably reach *in the neighbor- 1
hood of SI 0,000. Where is the nec |
essity of adding to this expense the
per diem of the House mo tubers who
have nothing to do with the trial, after
it has begun ?
IfeSyThe general impression, so far
as our observation extends, seems to be
that Hon W. L. Goldsmith will be
eonvie'ed on some of against
him. We have never seen the evidence
in full upon which is bjaed the ar
ticles of impeachment ; hence we have
formed no decided opinion on the sub.
ject. Hut even if we had, we should
not express it through the press, for it i
is not the province of journalism to
prejudge one legally charged with
crimes. Our position is, the Senate
should first determine whether this
man he guily or not. We will be high
!y gratified if, in bearing his bcsoui to
the impending storm, he escapes un
scarred and untouched by the bolts
which are being hurled against him, by
showing to the world that hr has ever
brut au hours! officer. We take pleas
ure in no man’s fall—in the loss of no i
one’s character ; and whenever attack.-
ed, wc are always glad to see it suce ss
fully defended.

Atlanta, Ga., Aug‘ 19, 1879.
Day after to morrow will begin
the.first impeachment trial known
in Georgia since 1832. The man
agers have prepared against Comp
troller Goldsmith seventeen arti
cles of impeachment, accusing him
of such an array of high crimes
and misdemeanors as is terrible to
contemplate. The House heard
the articles Friday and Saturday,
went in a body to the Senate,
where tho managers in-due form of
law, exhibited the articles. They
are very lengthy, but the follow- 1
ing summary of them will show
how the matter stands:

1 he impeachment is still all the
talk hero -The trial will begin
Thursday nr.d there will be such a
mass of evidence that it ennnet
couclude within less than ten days
"(57 tw6 weeks: The prSfeecution
will be led by lion. Henry G. Tur
ner. of Brooks, jono of tho strong
est thinkers and clearest speakers
in tho Assembly. lie will be ably
assisted by Messrs. Phillips, of
'Cobb, Hammond of Thomas, Pol
hill of Jefferson, Pike of Jackson,
and Adams of Chatham. The
Comptroller-General has intrusted
hie defence to Handler and Thomp
son and Hopkins and Glenn, two
prominent law firms in this city
,As to the result of the triaj the
' gOhcral expectation "pdifits * toward
-a conviction.
Outside of this matter tho last
week has not been specially re-
here. The . Coyimittoea
appointed to investigate the vari
ous departments are at work. Ru*
nrers about what they are doing
are flying all about, but really
nothing definite is yet known.
Tho House passed a resolution
yesterday, to investigate the State
printer. Everybody is suspected,
it seems.
Mr. Hill has been asked to ad
dress the Assembly, but declined
to do so, in a letter written in his
usual strong style. It is very gen
erally regretted here that he did
not speak, No man is better post
ed on the political issues of the
day, no man couM speak more
advisedly of the dangers which be
set ty, and of the duties which we
must perform. Perhaps he has
good reasons for declining. It is
a singular thing, too, probably tho
first time Mr. Ilill ever refused to
speak- lie talks so well that it is
not strange that he likes to do so.
He cannot feel more pleasure in
the process than do those who hear
him
The portrait of Dr. Crawford W
Long, donated to the State by a
warm-hearted admirer of the great
physician, lion. 11. L. Stuart of
New York, is expected here daily;
It is to be presented by Gen. Gor
don. and will be hung in the Hall
of Representatives. It seems to
be now settled, that Georgia’s two
representatives in t,ho National
Art Gallery at Washington, are to
be Oglethorpe, Jth o kind-hearted
founder of the colony, and Dr.
Long, whose discovery of medical
anaesthesia will soolli the pain of
humanity henceforth and forever.

The fallowing letter was written from south

Valiev.‘tut it seems it was Written in
Mil etui:
Matson, Ga., Mug. 12.—Dear John: As
L am out of your constituents, I take the
liberty of calling your attention to a matter
of sonic importance to me and in which the
legislature could do me a service. One of
the governor’s private secretaries owes me
three dollars nnd seventy-five cents, and
both refuses and neglects to pay me.
Could you not have a committee of nine
appointed (o confer with a committee of
eighteen in the house and investigate the
accounts of all the secretaries and get their
assets And liabilities? I wish you would; it
wilt be a great accommodation to me; and
if the money is paid over committee
you can send me half and keep the othei
half for your trouble.
Now, 1 want to tell you, something, John,
but you must never let it be known that I
told it, for I never talk; I don’t think it is
right; but they say—now, mind you, I did
not say it—but they say that a box of meat
passed through Maeon the other day marked
to one of the governor’s plantations in south
west Georgia. Now, uiiud you, I don’t cn
warrant the truth of it, but they say it’s a
fact. Now, the question is, ought there
not to be an investigation?
Where did that meat come from?
V ho paid for that meal?
Who is that meat for?
Ami what is the consideration for which
this meat is given?
Of course you will know better than I
possibly can what is best to he done under
the circumstances. It is very evident,
somethin!: should be done.
I would suggest a couple of committees of
nine from each house.
I don’t want it known that I told this,
because the governor would never forgive
me if be knew it.
I understand some greenhorn has intro
duced a resolution forbidding any more
“new matter’’ He is a goose.
That sort of foolishness should be put down
by all means, and promptly too. New
' matter is what we want. I ha7e traveled
around a good deal over the state, and
everywhere I have been the cry is new
matter. In fact, there isa regular g ound
swell for new matter. You might almost
call it anew matter boom—so great is the
demand.
I have not kept up with your proceedings
:is closely, perhaps, as I ought, but if 1 mis
i take not, there are yet several counties that
| have not had the tax collector anc receiver
I consolidated; and there arc several that
were consolidated last session that have
not been separated.
Then there are thirteen Bethel churches
yet where “liquor is sold in three miles of
Vip.” .->
Coffee county hasn't changed her line but
twice this session yet .
There are several counties who had not
abolished their commissioners, and all those
that were abolished last session have not
yet been re-established.
|Oh, put your foot down on anything that
looks to forbidding new matter —because if
you allow that, you have permitted an en
tering wedge, and first thing you know
some of the more daring of them will com
mence agitating the question of adjourn,
nlent.
The first evidence of that sort of folly
should be nipped in the bud. Attend to
that matter private secretaries, nnd oblige
your friend, AMOS ADAMS, jr.
T.S.—There is to be an excursion toTy
bee in a few days—ask ’em if I may go.
~ A. A. jr.
I open this to'say if you are successful in
collecting this bill, I will give you another

•felTerson Ilavis’ line!-
A wvskr in the Washington Sunday
Herald, gives some interesting remis
cenceß <jf the attempted duel between
Jefferson Davis and W. H. Bissell, of
He says :
As the facts relative to the proposed
meeting of the above named individuals
were never made public, and as one of
the principals yet lives, and several
others who were actors in the matter
survive, I will set forth, to the best of
toy recollection, how the challenge ori-
how the affair terminated.
Shortly after the Mexican war. Jef
ferson Davis, of Mississippi, and W. H.
Bissell, of Illinois, two conspicuous of
ficers in that campaign, were in the
United "States Congress, one occupying
a seat in the House of Representatives
and the other in the Utited States
Senate.' In a discussion of the relative
bravery displayed on battlefields by the
respective State troops engaged, it was
asserted that the Indiana troops inglo
riouslyHed from the field of engagement
at Buena Vista. This bold assertion
was denied, and iu the debate, as if to
thiow odium upon the conduct of other
State trdlps in retaliation for tho charge
made, the conduct of the Mississippi
troops were severely animadverted on.
This charge touched so sensitively the
commander of the Mississippi troops
that a retraction was demanded outside
the limits of the halls of Congress, and
on a refusahthcreof the usual prelim
inaries were resorted to. Among those
who were participants in the affair were
Henators .4.G. Brown, Robert Toombs,
James 0. Dawson and Gen. James
Shields, Representative Arinistead Burt
of South Carolina, and several others
whose names do not recur to me at.
present. Some of these friends were
endeavoring to bring about a reconcil
iation, while others were making prep
arations lor the coming morning. Mr
Davis was then occupying rooms in
the large four-story house of the late
Colonel John R. Donahoe, next west
of the present Continental Hotel. Mr.
Bissell lrad rooms around the corner,
on Fout-and-a-half'street. The writer
hereof, then a boy, roomed in the saute
house with Colonel Davis, and was a
close observer of what was transpiring,
and was to have been a witness to the
affair, and had strict instructions not
to allow any one to enter without first
submitting his name to Senator Brown,
who was acting as next friend to Mr.
Davis. General Shields was the most
active party to the affair. lie it was
who was a friend of both pi incipals, and
was many times throughout the night
backward and forward in the endeavor
to effect a settlement. I was put on
guard to watch the doors in the upper
parlor, with the room darken when
about the hour of 2 a. gn. a ring of the
bell was heard, and on carefully look
ing out I discovered the tall form of
Captain Stoddard and a short stout man,
with a dusty, brown overcoat, and
closely fitting cap, who proved to bt
President Taylor. The bell was rung
repeatedly. Still no answer. I step
ped to the rear part of the house and
notified Governor Biown who the call
ers were. The principal retired so as
to avoid the mortification of arrest, and
the callers being admitted announced
that the arrest of Col. Bissell had been
consummated, and that cautionary
measures had been taken to prevent a
hostile meeting. The determination on
the part of Mr. Davis to vindicate the
honor of his State and that of her brave
troops was so undoubtedly earnest that
he sent his wife and two nieces to Penn
sylvania on a visit to the home ofSen’r
Brodhead. a relative of Mrs. Davis
Thus was quieted this episode in the
events that have transpired in the cap
ital of the natioG.
lie who is passionate and hasty is generally
honest. It is your old dissembling hypocrite
of whom you should beware. There’s no
deception in a bulldog; it is only the cur
that sneakes up and bites you when your
back is turned.
