Tho Constitution ia enthusiastic over
the advantages to be derived from main
taining the geological bureau, and makes
this summing up:
Before the bureau wa3 organ'z id the
annual amount of gold mined in Geor
gia was leas than $150,000. It has been
in operation for five years, and the an
nual amount of gold nQw dug out of the
bills Of Georgia is about $1000.003.
For the pitiful outlay of $10,000 a year
we have developed an interest that adds
annually to our wealth $350,000 more
than we were getting without it. Un
der the influence of this bureau, thl3 an
nual yield will increase iust as it has
been increasing for the past four years.
We honestly believe that at the end of
another five years, if the bureau is sus
tained, we shall see the gold mines
of Georgia yielding $2,000,000 every
rear.
The Washington correspondent of the
Savannah News exposes the true inward
ness of the efforts now being made by
the carpetbaggers, headed by one An
drew Clark, collector of internal revenne*
t j get Marshal Fitzsimmons’ scalp. It
gays tie chargei against him “emanate
entirely from the revenue service, origi
ns mg, as heretofore stated, with Collec
tor Clarke, and taken np by the internal
rsvenue bureau. The department of jus
tice has nothing whatever to do with
them, and has found nothing in Mr.
Fitzsimmons’ administration of his office
to find fault with. Hiving been made,
they ere inquired into by the Attorney
General. This latter official, as far as
can be ascertained, seems to regard the
whole affair as a fight between Messrs.
Fitzsimmons anl Clirke, who have al
ways been more or less at loggerheads.
The Radical campaign committee is en
deavoring to induce Mr. Fitzsimmons’
removal. If he does go it will be wholly
npon political grounds. Nothing has yet
been learned as to the progress of Hayes’
and Damns’ investigation or the charge"
preferred, Mr. Fitzsimmons will, of
course, answer them when they are
brought officially to his attention.”

Col. Hasdkman’s Addbess List Fbi-

filled with our citizens and visitors from
the country ou Friday last to hear the
address of Col. Thomas Hardeman, of
Macon. Many ladies were present, and
the most careful and respectful attention
was paid to the speaker. His address
occupied about fifty minutes, and we
thought it was one of the most elegant
and beautiful we ever neard. This was
the opinion of all who heard it. When
Col. George W. Jordan arose and intro
ducsd Colonel Hardeman to the audience,
and spoke of him es one of Georgia’s
ablest and most worthy citizens, he was
greeted with applause from the whole
house.
Col. Hardeman’s addfeS3 contained
many practical suggestions and advice
that, if pnrBaed by our people, would
tend to elevation and refinement and
give power and wealth to the country.

How it All Happened.—Randall of
the Augusta Chronicle, with that rare tal
ent for the dramatic in narrative which
characterizes him, thus piotnres how Ben
and Aleck msde np the last time:
The first advanoe was made by Mr. Hill
when be ascertained that it'would be en
tirely aoceptable.lt was made publicly in
tho Hoatia of Representatives when in
session. Mr. Stephans has the most con-
splcnous place In the House, just in front
of the Speaker’s desk, where he wheels
his chair around promiscuously. Mr.
HU1 approached Mr. Stephens, exten
tended his band, which was warmly
grasped in return by the Commoner, and
after the passage of a few kind words od
both sides, the grave of five years of hos
tility,or rather of unfriendly silence, was
dosed up never more to be disturbed.
Mr. Hill is so lofty a character and stands
to prominently in the Senate end before
the oountry that he oould afford to make
the first advanoe. Nothing iu his glori
ous life was more worthy of him and
nothing hs will ever do ean tarnish the
brightness of that memorable scene, when
the two illustrious Georgians were true to
themsolveB, their State, their country and
thoir God.

flatting on FI nt river near Adams’ bridge,
and had attempted to swim across the

stopped on a root of a tree to rest. After
remaining there a short time he plunged
off for the other shore. Jnat as he made

Wxqnotethe following from the En
quirer Sum
Late yesterday afternoon a difficulty
occurred between Mr. John Mnllen and
Dr. J. W. Cameron, in Messrs.- Pearce
& Binford’s store. The facte, as we
could gather on the streets, were to the
effect that a feud has existed between the
parties for some years, and they had had
several minor difficulties. Mullen,
salesman in the store of Messrs Pearce &
Binford, ordered Cameron to stay out,
and never come near him. Cameron en
tered the store yesterday afternoon, when
he was strnck on the head with an iron
nail-puller, in the hands of Mullen
knocking him senseless. He was carried
to the residence of Mr. T. I. Pearce,
where medical aid was secured. He re
ceived two blows on the head. One is
only a braise, bnt ths other, an ngly gosh,
may prove serious.
Dr. Cameron resides about seven mileB
above the city. After the difficulty Mul
len crossed the river, where he resides,
and ha3 not yet been arrested.
The same paper relieves its mind on
the subject of Georgia oolleges as follows
Is it not asking rather too much of a
good thing to request the Si'.te of Geor
gia to contribute property or money to
establish more colleges in onr State? The
request becomes an absnrdity when we
reflect that we have four, perhaps five,
male colleges in the State, and we don’t
believe these five colleges will show five
hundred students in regular classes.
Still the State is coolly asked to devote
property to schools which are to be de
nominated agricultural colleges. Does
not the thing look farcical?
We have good institutions of a higher
class, among them the honored mate
University, that present a very email ar
ray of students, a little over one hundred
each, and atili they want more colleges.
Why, it is ridiculous. The State has
established a system of public schools,
and the principal cities have done better,
and if localities desire to have colleges*
let localities pull out their purses and
osnatruct them. Do not ask the people
elsewhere to help them. We hold
that Georgia owes no community any.
thing, not even Milledgeville, more than
any other. This college idea to ns has
an extremely ludicrous aspect. The State
University, with free tuition, splendid
libraries and apparatus, cannot get stu
dents sufficient to present a creditable
appearncc*, and this call is for fonr
branch institutions to farther divide that
limited number. Mercer University and
Emery College and Gaineevilie College
aro in the earns condition. Then be
sides we bave Pie Nono. Had not these
better be filled before there is talk of
others? Patronize them first, fill their
hall*, and then seek to build others if
there be an overplus. Don’t fritter away
noble funds in divided efforts, but let db,
by concentrated effort, have establish
ments worthy of the name. Do not let
us have a lot ot little academies or high
schools all over tne State, to be called
oolleges. Such are mienomers. Do not,
at least, have communities dep*Ddiog
for higher educational facilities at tbeir
doors upon a division of the State fund.
We have plenty of colleges, but they are
lacking in attendance. Establish others,
and the numbers at each will become
smaller.

The committee appointed to prepare a me
morial of the life and character of CoL
Robert W. Jomlson, submit the following
report:
Onr deceased brother was bora in Twiggs
connty, Georgia, on the 21st of April, 18.10,
and at the lime of his deatn was in his six
tieth year. He was the son of Heniy Jemi-
son, one of tho earliest settlers of this sec
tion of the State, and of Susanna Fort Jem-
Uod, who waB the sister of the di-tiogolehed
physician arj author. Dr. Tomlinson Fort.
fli« parents removed from Twiggs connty to
what ia now the county of Bibb (then Mon
roe) wL\i he was threeyears old, and settled
a place mae mtle3 above Mason ou tha For-
ejtu road. At tliit time there woe no aotlle-
ment on the wost side of the Ocmulgee; and
fort Hankins on the CiBl s.de, a frontier
trading post, waa the only representative
of onr city. His fathsr died shortly after
this removal, his will being the first prooat-
ed and recorded in the new oonnty of Bibb.
Alter obtaining the rudiments of educa
tion in the schools or his native county. Mr.
Jemiaon became a student at Oglethorpe
University, at wiich institution be bore off
the highest honors of his class. He studied
law at Augusta under Judge Gould. Abo at
this time he was happily married to Miss
Sarah Stnbbs and removed to the 8tate of
Louisiana, Ouachita parish, where he prao-
ticed law and attended to a large planting
interest. He continued to reside in that
State several years after tha war, holding
the effiee of Solicitor General of the circuit
until i£6', when the reconstruction measures
rendered it impossible for him to reta n me
position longer. He removed with his fam
ily to Maoon in 1870 and formsd a law part
nership with his half brother, Samuel Hun
ter, Etq. He continued in the praotice of
his profession until his death, having been
for fonr years attorney for the city of Maoon
and holding that office at the time of his
death.
As a lawyer, Col. Jemiaon had enjoyed ex
ceptional advanttges of training. He had
s.ndied tne c.mmon law in his early life
when eager ambition quickened the diligence
of ths student; and his practice in Louisi
ana made him acquainted with the civil law;
that rich Roman Jurisprudence from which
B.-aetion plagiarized so entensively in his
DeLegions Angliie; fwhi:h Lord Minefield
drew the materials of those wonderful de
cisions by which he expanded the commer
cial law of England and made it .meet the
growing wants of widening civilization; and
from whch Edward Livingston, whom Eng
lish jurists and scholars prononuce the great
est hgal mind of America, constrael the
Code of Louisiana, the masterpiece of codi
fication. Ths stndy of this beautiful system
was a valuable acquisition to the mental re
sources and a stimulating discipline to the
mental powers of our deceased friend. Thia
and the additional advantage of the com
parison of ths two systems of the common
and the civil law gave him a familiarity with
the principles or tue science; a habit of look
ing at the '• reason and science of the law”
and which aided him greatly when he oame,
after the meridian of life to practice under
a system of law different from that in which
the prime of ins professional career had
be-L spent- As an advocate, he always had
the might of earnestness. The sincerity
and strength of his convictions were empha
sized in the fervor of tbeir ntteranoe.
Dating his career he was faithful to that
“jealous mistress, thelaw,” and yet not so
exclusively devoted to her as to decline all
participation in politics. In Louisiana, he
was a member of various State conventions
and canvassed his distriot in various elec
tions, “ betting in lifted hand tne banner of
the Democracy.” After bis removal to Ma
oon, be was always an influential presence
in the political gatherings of the city and
oonnty, and though asking no honors
for himself, be was an earnest and inflaen-
tial supporter cf the men ;and ^measures of
bis choice.
We feel that it would be but affectation to
suppress in this memoir all a basic n to the
manner of bis death. When ths news flash
ed 07t>r England that Sir Samnel Bomilly
bad died by bis own band, the profession
and the public were not more startled than
when it was known here that Col Jemieon
bod thns come to his death. ThomM Era-
kine May, the historian or modern England,
a writer as cautions as Ms predecessor, Hal-
lam, in bis use of langnage, styles, Bomilly
“ the best and purest of public men,” and
the unanimous testimony of his professional
brethren is, that as a lawyer, he was as wor
thy to practice before the learned Eldon as
that great Jodge was to occupy the marble
chair. Yet it seems that neither purity of
life nor strength of mind .stayed his rash
band in that one moment when it was rsised
against his own life. We refer to this sub
ject only to record our emphatic belief that
our deceased brother wrought his own death
during a temporary aberation cf mind. The
argument from character to oondnotis jnat
and cogent. We are warranted by universal
reason in refnsieg to accept as the ooneoions
act of a rational man a deed that ia ^utterly
inconsistent with the quality or his character
and tha tenor of Ms life
Col. Jemiaon was one of the most genial
of men. He was another inetanee of the
truth of Sir Walter Bcotl’e remark that when*
ever he had a barrister as a companion on
any journey, be was sore of being entertain'
ed. He bad a fond of incident and anec
dote, wiih the resources of wMch be often
waged war against the gravity of the bench
and oontribated to the pleasure of his inter-
o lUrse with his professional brethren. His
hsart was fail ot kindness; it was a foun
tain from which fl;wed an unfailing stream
ofindu'gent fondness for those who were
nearest him,land of chirily for the faults
and misfortunes of others.
In all his dealings and conduct he was
so;npulousl7 conscientious. HU integrity
was unswerving: tho escutcheon of honor,
free from stain, That probity was Ms whioh
respects the rights of every one and
seeks to render to every one what is his
dne; which forbids every type of unfairness
that may press unequailv or nnj ustly on bis
neighbor, and wMoh sacrifices personal con
siderations to the maintenance of what U
right.
Therefore, be it resolved,
1. That in the death of CoL B W* Jemi-
son onr profession has lost an able and up
right lawyer, the commuci'y a valuable oiti-
z jn and his family have sustained an irre
parable loss which wo cannot attempt to
measnre in words
2. That lho-o resolntions be spread npon
the minutes of the orort a d published
in the Telegraph A Messenger, and a copy
famished to the family of the deceased.

; Jommittee ami report thereon to the

Mr. Duvall of Richmond offerod the
following reeolutioo: Whereas, it has
officially come to the knowledge of this
House that Hinton P. Wright, of ths
State of Georgia, and of the connty of
Fulton, has been guilty of attempting to
corrupt the integrity of oertain members
of this Honse, therefore,
Resolved, That the doorkeeper of the
House be directed to arrest said Hinton
F. Wright and bring him before the bar
of the Honee to answer to the charge of a
contempt of the Honse in trying to cor
rupt certain members of the Honse. ThiB
resolution was first adopted and after
wards reconsidered.
This day being the day appointed for
the memorial exercises of Colonel Robert
Alston, late member from DeKalb, and
Hon. S. T. Jamison,the Honse proceeded
to take np and dispose of the matter.
The oommittee submitted the following
resolution:
“Since the session of the Legislature,
terminating in Deoember last, it bas
pleased the All-Wise in HiB providenoe
to take henoe two of onr number, the
Hon. B. A. Alston, of DeKalb, and the
Hon. S. T. Jamison, of Toljs, who ore
no more. The former waa ent off in the
prime of life, and in the fall vigor and
Etrecg'h of mature manhood. The lat
ter had reached his deo'ining years, and
when ho met with ns it was manifest from
his feeble health that the ‘silver oord was
broken,’ and that life’s fitful fever waa
fast subsiding. His appeaianos was a sad
warning ot the fate awaiting ns all.
Earthly smronndings seemed ot little
moment to him &b he sat listlessly await
ing his summons.
The former stood forth in his strength,
eager and able for any combat in life’s
great arena. To meet and vanqnish the
foes of his plans and purposes, seemed
his peouliar adaptability, and to the ob
server there was nothing to indicate that
the “golden bowl should soon be bro
ken.” Nor did he*seem to contemplate
amends to thoBS strifes, but to pass
blithely from one to another as a matter
of course, and in endless succession.
Bnt how deceptive.
“Dim miniature of greatness absolute.
An heir ol glory, a frail child ot dust
Helpless immortal 1 insset infinite!
A warm I a God!”
At the time of onr adjournment it
wonid have been diffioult to present hu
man life in stronger contrast than the
persona of the deceased, yet they are only
both “a flower of the field” bnt the wind
passes over them and they are gone.
The bared sinewy arm, held boldly aloft
in the whirl of life's contentions and the
decayed unnerved limbs fail alike into
the grave. No strength can resist death,
no devioo avert his coming. With a great
and impartial sovereignty he reigns in
osiaoes, Legislative halls and homes.
We oan bnt bow in humble submission
to Him whose will must be done.
To the memory of the deoeased we
fain would make some fitting tribute.
To chetish that memory is not only
onr duty, bnt a privileged recognition of
merited honors and a gleam of recollec
tion sweet to cherish, bnt sadly xeoedlng
with all the past. Beit, therefore,
Resolved, 1st. That it is with most pro
found sorrow we note the deaths of Hon.
Robert A. Alston and Hon. S T. Jami
son, late members ot tbis Honse, one
from the oonnty of DeK-ilb, and the
otter from tbe county of Towns.
2d. That in these deaths tbe State has
lost two of her most able and valuable
legislators and models of upright and
worthy citizenship. {
3. That these proceedings be entered
on the journals of this Honse, and a copy
thereof be transmitted to the respeotive
families of the deceased.
4. That in respect ts their memory,
this Honse do adjourn until Monday
next.
The resolutions were adopted, and the
Honse adjourned.

Tbe Proposed Impeachment of
Comptroller General Goldsmith.
In the House Mr. Davis made the fol
lowing supplementary report of the com
mittee chargtd with the duty of investi
gating tha sale of fraudulent-wild land
The undersigned committee, appointed
under the resolution approved on the
llth of Deoember to investigate the wild
land sales in tbis State, beg leave to sub
mit tbe following supplemental report:
On the — instant we submitted onr
reports together with tbe evidenoe taken
by us in the matter submitted to us for
investigation. Iu the majority report we
cet forth freely all the conclusions at
whioh we had arrived from the testimony
taken, and all tbe members of the com
mittee concur substantially in all these
conclusions,except three, to-wit:
1. The legality of the transfer of the
transferees.
■ 2. The power of the^Comptroller Gen
eral - to make the transfer, and
3. The validity of sales under transfer
fi. fas,, and the power of the General As
sembly to deolare said sales void.
One member of the oommittee, (Mr.
Candler,) not ooncnrricg in the majority
submitted a minority report covering
these three points.
Sinoe the submission ot these reports,
matters of tbe gravest oharsoter came to
the knowledge of tbe committee. Of
these matters we deemed it onr dnty,
both to onrselves and the State, to take
c jgoizince and report to the General As
sembly.
■These matters were attempts made by
Hinton P. Wright to indnoe by bribery
two members of onr oommittee, to-wit:
Hon. F. D. Davis and Hon. Lewis Strick
land, to assign a paper prepared by tbe
Comptroller General. This paper had
for its object the acknowledgment by
the members of the committee that cer
tain things had been omitted in tbe re
port which ought to have gone into It,
and that certain other things embraced
In the report were couched in language
different from that in whioh a majority
of tbe oommittee had agreed abonld be
employed, thns doing the Comptroller
General unintentional injustice.
Immediately npon the knowledge of
this attempt at bribery coming to the
other members of the committee, a meet
ing was had, and all the facts in the
matter, so far as possible, waa brought
out. We examined under oath Messrs
Davis and Strickland, of the committee,
and Mr. EL P. Wright and the Comp
trailer-General, W. L. Goldsmith, and
herewith submit the testimony. The
evidence shows that Mr. Wright did ap
proaoh the two members of the commit
tee named, and present the above men
tioned paper and try to indnoe them by
an offer of money to assign it. Hd
and Mr. Goldsmith both swear positively,
however, that he did it without the con
sent of Mr. Goldsmith. Mr. Wright
swears that ho got the paper from Mr.
Goldsmith for the purpose of securing
the signatures of members of the com
mittee. While some of ns do not regard
the contents of the paper itself as of any
great importance either to Mr. Goldsmith
or members of the committee, or as affect
ing the substantial results of our investi
gation, we do regard the means attempt
ed to be used to secure the signatures of
members of tho oommittee to it as an
offense of Buch gravity—i crime so atro
cious that wc cannot pass it by with a
mere notice. We, therefore, recommend
that the House of Representatives pre
fer articles of impeachment against W.
L. Goldsmith, Comptroller General, for
high crimes and misdemeanors, in order
that the majesty of the law may be vin
dicated and ample justice meted ont to
tho officials of the Stats involved in th6
transaction.
We also recommend that tbe General
Assembly take such action in the matter
of tbe offense of Hinton P- Wright as tbe
law and common ntages demand.

Hew York Commercial Bulletin. 1
One of the moBt uninviting ‘phenome
na of the times is tbe apparent decay cf
what were onoe prosperous and progres
sive commercial ports ot tbe South. Mo-
bile, Savannah ann Charleston, though
still exhibiting a commendable degree of
mercantile enterprise, have not.been able
to regain the importance whioh attached
to them &a shipping and distributing
points before tne civil war, owing
to a variety of causes, not the least of
which ia the gradul diversion across tbe
country to the Northern ports of mnch
of the interior commerce which was for
merly drawn in that direction. Products
seek a market through routes that afford
the quickest and cheapest transportation.
This diversion has been brought about
by the multiplication of railroad facilities
that have gradually turned away the
channels ot trade from their former ob
jective points on the South Atlantic and
the Gulf of Maxico to shipping ports far
ther north. Norfolk is a t present the oat-
let for much ot tbe cotton than in former
years went to Mobile; and as for New
Orleans, notwithstanding the great
things that were expected from the im
provement of Mississippi navigation, by
means of the Eads jetties, it seems to be
s nking into a hopeless dry rot. Instead
of advancing, it is steadily going astern,
if cuetom house statistics are worth any
thing as a test. The duties on imports
collected during the past four years com
pare as follows:
Currency, Total.
$144,771 $1,943,647
131.395 1,933.011
167.225 1.633,002
140.529 1.428,063
The best piau is to shut your eyes, plunge
rarI ->• fsevera cold.
We have not at hand the returns at
Mobile and the other ports mentioned,
bnt it is pretty certain that they will ex
hibit similar results. Interior trade is
more and more disinclined to follow
longitudinal water lines; and jest in pro
portion as it goes by rail aoross, instead
ot down through the country will the
southern ports (dependent, more or less,
on water routes) be at a disadvantage.
Wo have a better opinion of Southern
enterprise, however, than to suppose
that, even with these conditions con
fronting it, it ia going to sit down into
perpetual stagnation. There la co rea
son way if one door is shat another
shtn’.d not open to them—in other word?,
no reason why, if the commeroe they for
merly bad is slipping from them, other
kinds cf commerce ocnaot bo created in
its plaoe. Adaptation to new oondiiims
is a valuable faculty in merohanting.
There is no end to commercial opportn-
nii.a in a country like this; they are
ever presenting themselves in new form>;
