An Agent in Washington.
Wo have noticed with pleasure appeals
to Gov. Jenkius in many of our State
exchanges, to urge upon some one of
the members of Congress elect from
Georgia the propriety of going to and
and remaining in Washington as an agent
of the State. The expenses incurred by
such agent should be paid by the State,
ns our people generally would be benefit-
led by bis services. Let this agent be
always in the Capitol, to expose promptly
every foul slander originated for our in
jury; and let him not only from time to
time communicate to the Governor such
information as would likely lie of service
in the administration of State affairs, but
transact, as far as he can, the business of
our people with the different Departments.
Wc trust there will be no opposition to
the measure, and that the Governor will,
without delay, select one of the above
named gentlemen for the place, and that
be will accept it and proceed to Washing

and abused people.
