Louisville, Gra:
THURSDAY, JANUARY 25, 1872
A Herald Washington dispatch says
that tbc rcfcUrrcction of Colfax aa a can
didate lor the Vice Presidential nomina
tion} baa disgruuted matters very much.
Until then the Vice Presidency was
held up as a prohibit peace-offering to
the malcontents whom it would be ne
necessary to conciliate, and among
whom, it was felt, Grant was in perish
ing need of strength. Even Fhiloso
pher Grcely was discussed as a possible
nominee, but Grant has put bis veto on
that by branding Grecly as a traitor—a
man, who, although claiming to be an
ultra-protectionist, but a few days ago
was explaining to a free trade corres
pondent, how he might beat Grant by
selecting a free trade Republican can
didate to run in opposition to him on
the Democratic ticket. Grant says that
if Groely, as a General in the army, had
been detected in such communication
with the enemy, he would havo been
shot.
Death of Col Frank Hill.
This gentleman breathed his last at
his residence in this county on Tuesday
night last. Affable in deportment, cul
tivated in manners, bo leaves a host of
friends to mourn bis untimely death.
Ilis remains were carried to Athens,
Ga., his early home, for interment.
Wo find the above announcement
snys the Macon Telegraph, in the Eufau
law News, of Thursday, the 12th. We
beg to add our regrets to tbc many that
will be felt by Colonel Hill's numerous
fiends, not only in Georgia, but all over
the South. We knew him well and es
teemed him biglily. lie was oni friend,
and on many occasions testified the
strength and sincerity of his good will.
Some of the pleasantest moments memo
ry cherishes were bpent in his society,
and us wc write, the many weary hours
around the campfire he hag beguiled by
story, je6t and repartee come trooping
back to our remembrance to do honor to
his shade, and speak peace to his ashes.
II w had faults, but they were surface
defects His virtues had their birth
and home in the heart, and were the so
qucnces of a noble spirit—a kindly,
frank, generous temper, and a soul to
which no appeal for charity and sympa
thy was ever in vain.
In early life Col. Hill served with dis
tinguished credit as assistant surgeon in
the Federal Navy, and afterwards was
one of the editors and proprietors of the
Athens Banner. During the war he was
a Captain and afterwards Major in the
first regiment of Georgia Regulars and
near the close was made a Colonel by
Mr. Davis—one of the last acts of his
official life. He had in the army and
out of it, hosts of friends who will join
ns in grief for his death, and say with
us: God rest his soul!
Amnesty.— The Washington corres
pondent of the Baltimore Sun, under
date of 15th inst, writes that the proba
ble shape in which amnesty will go thro’
both Houses of Congress is by adding to
the list of those exoepted—army and
navy officers, and members of Congress
who left their seats ‘‘to aid in tho rebel
lion ” —also all members of State Con
ventions who voted for ordinances of
secession. It is not believed that either
House is willing to go as far even as
Grant in favor of general amnesty.
Inaugural Address of Gov. Smith-
Gentlemen of the General Assembly :
I appear in this presence to-day, in
obedience to tho Constitution and laws,
to take the oath of office and assume
the duties of Governor of Georgia. I
come in responso to the call of the peo
ple of iny native Stato—a people who,
having been scourged with fire and
sword, have had their patience still more
sorely tried by want of integrity in office,
and by corruption in high places. But
after a long and cheerless night of mis
rule, let us unite in indulging the hope
that a brighter day, briuging with it
peace, happiness and prosperity to our
stricken people, is already dawuing up
on our beloved State.
The duties required by tho Constitu
tion and.laws, of tho Chief Magistrate
of the State, arc clearly indicated by the
oath of his office. He swears to execute
faithfully the office of Governor, and to
preserve, protect and defend the Con
stitution of the State and of tho United
States. When he takes this oath, he
pledges his sacred honor before Al
mighty God, and the assembled people
who have conferred upon him the high
est office in their gift, that ho will lion*-
estly and faithfully execute the duties
of that office, and that lie will, to the ut
most of his ability, maintain the funda
mental laws of tho land. How can these
great duties best be ,mct and discharg
ed ? The answer to this question is ea
sily made ; but bow difficult the per
formance of the duties here set foitii ?
All civil government should havo for
its object the preservation of the rights
of the persons and property of the peo
ple ; and it is the first and highest duty
of governments, by wise and wholesome
legislation, to provide security for these
sacred rights. But the mere enactment
of proper laws is not sufficient for the
accomplishment of tho object indicated.
Unless there is also a strict and .faithful
enforcement of the laws, society must
be without that feeling of security upon
which the prosperity and happiness of
the people depend. The honor of the
State, as well as tho best interests of the
citizen, demand that laws passed for the
good of society, should bo promptly and
justly enforced. We may pity the crim
inal, but when we go beyond this and
interpose to shield him from the puuish-
Wfiut due to his* wrong-doing, tjiis feel
ing cease* to be mere sentimental weak
lier*. and becomes an act of cruel in
justice to society, Prompt and certain
execution of the laws it the aureat, and
indeed the only effectual means of pro
venting crime- The courts, whose pe
culiar province it is to try persons ac
cused of violations of the penal code,
and to prouounce judgment upon the
guilty, should be left to the discharge of
this sworn duty, free from interference
on the part of the Executive. When,
by the abuse of a power vested in him,
to be exercised only when the cuds of
justice and the welfare of society de
mand it, the Chief Magistrate of the
State grants dispensations to criminals,
and suspends the operation of the law*
prescribing the punishment due to con
victed felons, he becomes the greatest of
all criminals himself, and merits the
punishment from which he seeks to
shield the less guilty.
Under the Constitution, it is the duty
of the Governor, with the concurrence
of the Senate, to fill the judicial offices
of tho State. If he would faithfully
discharge his duty, ho must see to it
that none are iuvested with tho ermine
•f justice but honest and capable men.
A virtuous and independent Judiciary
is a blessing to any people. Ignoring
all distinctions growing out of condition,
race »r color, and holding tho scales with
an even and steady hand, it metes out
justice alike to the rich and poor, the
proud and humble. It encamps around
the weak and defenseless, and keeps
watch and ward over them with a vigi
lance that is sleepless, and unpurchasea
ble with gold or power.
But it is of the last importance that
tho Chief Magistrate should himself
have clean hands. lie may appoint
nnue but upright and faithful men to
offico, and, yet if he be not also upright
and faithful, these good acts will count
for but little. He must not only call
around him honest men, but he must
himself be honest in the widest and
deepest sense of that word. Neither tho
glitter of' wealth, the seductions of pop
ular favor, nor the whispers of ambition
shsuld be permitted to alluro him from
tho path of duty, let it bo ever so thorny
aud rugged.
It is not necessary, however, on an
occasion like this, to enumerate all the
duties required at the hands of the Chief
Magistrate of tho Common wealth ; and
yet it is not amiss, in times like the
present, to recur to those cardinal prin
ciples which underlie all good govern-
I ment. It is known to be the duty of
tho Executive to co-operate with the
Legislature in the passage of wise and
wholesome laws, and with the Judiciary
in enforcing those laws. He must see
to it that public order is preserved, and
that the Treasury of the State is protec
ted, and must in all proper ways pro
mote the general welfare and advaneo
the- true interest of the people. He
must take care that the laws bo execu
ted. All this he solemnly swears to ando 1
But recurring to the occasion which
has brought us together to-day, it can
not escape the most carolcss observor
that we have assembled under circum
stances of an extraordinary character
Tho late Governor, whose unexpired
term of office I have been chosen to fill,
is a voluntary fugitive from the Stato of
bis adoption; During his brief incutn
bency there has been an addition of tin
told millions to the public dobt. lie
has left the finances of the State in tho
utmost disorder and confusion ; so that
it is impossible as yet to say what bonds
issued under bis administration arc le
gal and what illlegal. To correct these
and other abuses much time and labor
will be required, and l avail myself of
tho occasion to invoke tko patience and
oo operation of the people. And it may
here be proclaimed that the people of
Georgia have no thought of repudiating
any part of the indebtedness of tbe State.
On the contrary, it is tlioir purpose to
ascertain tlic legal obligations of the pub
lic, and to make provision for their pay
ment} principal and interest. It is their
purposo to respect vested rights, to obey
the laws, and suppress crime in their
midst; to require a faithful discharge of
public duty on the part of officials ; to
protect aud elevate the public faith and
credit; to maintain order; to treat all
classos with justice and impartiaality,
aud to welcome and treat with hospital
ity all men, from whatever quarter, who
come among them with the intention of
performing tho duties of good eitizeus.
We desire to live in peace, to restore our
waste places, and to bring tho Govern
ment of our Stato to the anciont land
marks of the fathers.
With a profound sense of tho responsi
bilities I am about to assumo, and with
a fervent prayer that providence may
bless our efforts, and temper tho wind
to our shorn people, and with a resolute
will to perform my duty to the utmost
of my ability, I now take tho oath of of
fice prescribed by tho Coustitution of
tho State.
SPECIAL NOTICES,
A HODV AND MIND DISEASE.
Snell is dyspepsia. The stomach and the
brain are too intimately Killed for the one to
suffer without the other, so that dyspepsia and
despondency are inseparable. It may be add!
ed.too, that irritation ot the stomach is almost
invariably accompanied by irritation of the
temper.
The invigorating and trunquiliziiig opera
tion of Hostetler's Hitters is most powerfully
developed in cases of indigestion. The first
effect of tiiis agreeable tonic is comforting and
encouraging. A mild glow pervades the sys
tem, the chronic uneasiness in the region of
the stomach is lessened, and the nervous rest
lessness which characterizes the disease is
abated. This improvement is not transient.—
It is not succeeded by 1 lie return of the old
symptoms with superadded force, as is always
the case when umiiodicaled stimulants are giv
en for the complaint Each dose seems to
impart a permanent accession of healthful in
vigoratio.n Hut this is not all. The aparient
and anti-billious properties of the preparation
aro scarcely secondary in importance to its ton
ic virtues. If there is an overflow of bile, the
secrotion is soon brought wiihin proper limits,
and it the bilary organ is inert and torpid it is
toned aud regulated. The effect upon the d:s
chaiging organs is equally salutary, and in ca
ses of constipation the cathartic action is just
sufficient to produco the desired result gradu
