Impeachment ot Comtproiler Goldsmith.' THE SENATE. Atlanta, Ga., August 4th, 1879. The Senate met at 10 o’olook, and was called to order. After prayer the roll was oalled and the journal of Friday read and approved. The proceedings were mostly routine, and no important matters carao before the body. THE HOUSE. Tho House mot pursuant to adjourn ment—Speaker Bacon in the chair. After thensnal preliminary exsrolses, the read ing cf bills tho first time was proceeded with and a number of bills were read and appropriately referred. Among the bills passed was one antbor- iaing the Bibb Oonnty Commissioners to purchase the Wiley turnpike. Tois bill has passed its third reading in the House, and now goes to the Senate. At 12 o’clock the report of the com mittee of thirteen appointed to investi gate the charges against Comptroller Goldsmith was taken up on motion of Mr. Phillips, of Cobb. The report was made in three distinct parts, aud included sixteen counts against the Comptroller. Th8 majority report was read first, by Mr. S. W. Small, clerk of the committee. Among the charges were the follow ing, and which are the most important: The Comptroller is charged with an embezzlement of $11,000 of the funds derived from the State for wild lends. With speculating in wild lands through his brother-in-law Thomas L. Swift; with altering and falsifying the records of the effi-e through his clerks, James L. Gold smith and Allen J. Bell, be being privy to the transaction; with taking illegal ousts for wiid land ii. fas.; with de positing fnnds from the ssle of wild lands in a bank in Atlanta, to his personal oredit, and drawing ont the same on bis personal check, instead of taming the said fnnds over to the Treasurer of the State, acoording to law; with making false retnrns, and with frandniently re porting tho amount of tax received on wild lands for 1877; with not giving cer tain parties the proper credit for lands psid by them, a nnmbsr of epeoifioitions being made; with retaining in office two clerks after ohaiges had been preferred against J<hem and closing with general harges of,malpractice in office. A supple ments rj| report was offend by soma of the members of the Committee signing the majority report preferring the charge of bribery in addition to those fpreferred in the general repoit. | A minority report was nlso submitted, some of the committee not agreeing to the entire bill of charge?. The majority report was adopted. The following resolution was intro duced and unanimously passed: Resolved, That W. L. Goldsmith, Comptroller General of the_ State of Georgia, be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors in office. Resolved, That the sccompaning testi mony, btatements, exhibits and rssoript of proceedings, with this report be re ferred to the Committee on the Judiciary, with instructions to prepare and report without unnecessary delay suitable ar ticles of impeaonmeat of ths said W.

L. Goldsmith, Comptroller Genera', of high crimes and misdemeanor in offico, and to inform that body that formal arti cles of impsaohment will, in due time, b8 presented, and to request the Senate to take each order in the premises es they deem appropriate. The preliminary proceeding for the im peachment, wero conducted quietly but amid more intense interest than was ever before seen manifested in tbe h&ll. The interest seemed to be that suppressed kind which knows no demanrtzation or tumult. The galleries were crowded. Nearly every member of the house wa3 in hie seat, and many Senators came over from that body apd were ranged in tho visitors circle of the chambir. Silence prevailed and the s:ene b.>r.iired on the solomn. Soon after ibo adoption of the resolu tion the House adjourned. The impeachment proceedings will be paEsad without delay. Judge Warner, who ia in the Northern put of the Slate, will be recalled to A-lauta, and will pre- tide over tho body. The aotioa taken to-day has oreated a profound esnsation in Atlanta.

Tlie Tennessee Compromise. Next Thursday Tennsessee votes on tbe qaestioa of aoceptanoe of the fifty par cent, bond compromiso. The canvass has b.oa very earnest, and it is prcbifclj the proposition will bs carried. From tho following balanco sheet presented by the American, one would oonclnde that it ought to be: We pointed ont the other day how wo hava got $40,000,000 of debt—the amount of the dent at the time the railroads were sold—down to $21,000,000, now with ao- cnmal&tad interest, $24,000,000, and how no are abont to reduce that to $12,000,600. This wo thought about os much as any man ought to ask iu tbe way of prog less ont of this hordes. Bednocd to §12,- 000.000, it oss be ossily oarried and paid off without feeling it.

Amount received by the State from solvent roads in payment of this Indebtedness, $15,086,074. Interest on payment to Jan. 1, 1830, $6.507,616. Tho tstsl amount, then, is, including interest on the amount, $32,104,490.

Oh, they were as grand As ever nested out of Fancy Land: Children were we in single faith. But God-like children, whom,nor death, Nor therat. nor danger drove from Honor’s path In the land where we were dreaming. Prjud were our men, as pride of birth could render; As violet?, our women pure and tender: And when they spoxe their voice did thrill Until at ere the whipuoorwill, At morn tbe mocking bird, were mute and still. In the laud whero we were dreaming. And we had gravel that eoTsrad more or glory Than ever taxed tradition’s ancient rtory -. And in our dream we wore the thread Of principle* for which had bled And suffered long our own immortal dead, In the land where we were dreaming. Though in our land we had both bond and free, Each ware content, and io God let them bo, Till envy covered our bind And tbevefair fields our valor won. But litre recked we, for we still slept on In tbo land where we we:e dreaming. Our sIpod grow troubled and our dream, grow wild- Bed meteors flisbod acroit our heaven's field; Crimson tho moon; between tho Twins Barbed arro ws flv, and then begins Such strife as whan disorder'* chaos reigns In the land where we were dreaming, Down from heraun-Iit heights amiloi Liberty, And waved har cap in aign of victory— The world aoproved, and everywhere, Except where growled the Russian bear. The good, the brave, the lost, gavo us thoir prayer In the land whjre we were dreaming. Wo fancied that a Government wasoura— We challenged place among ths world's great Powers: We t»lkod in sleep of rank, commission. Until so life-like grew oar vision That he who dared to doubt but met derision In tha land where we were dreaming. We looked on hi<h: a banner thare was seen, Whose field was blanched and spotless in its sheen— Chivalry’s cross its Union bears: And vet’r ms, swearing by their soars. Vowed they would bear tt through a hundred wars In the land where we were dreaming. A hero came amongst ns as we slept At fint he lowly knelt—then rose and wept; Then gathering up a thousand spears He svreDt across the field cf Mars, Then bowed farewell and walked bejond the stars— In the land where we were dreaming. We looked again: another figure still Gave hope and nerved each individual Will- Full of grandeur, clothed with power, Kelt-poised, crock ha ruled the honr With stern, maj jstio sway—of strength a tower In the land where we were dream^g. As, while great Jove, in bronze, warder Gad. Gazed eastward from the fornm whero we stood, Borne felt herseif secure and tree: — No, -‘Richmond safe," we mid, while we —.t&Aa bronzed hero—God.like Lee, In the land whero we were dreaming.

In answer to some hints for informa tion as to how much money be had re ceived from G„ys. Colquitt and Smith tot fees iu railroad cases, Gen Toombs un burdens himself aa follows, in a letter to the Atlanta Constitution: j For the sole reason that the article is calculated, if not intended, to benefit the railroad corporations to tho detriment of the people of Georgia whose interest have been in part committed to me, I will re spond, These cases arose under an act of tbe legislature passed February, 1874. I was retained by Governor Smith as counsel for the Stat9. He paid mo two thousand dollars iu part pay, retained, and subse quently, I think, ia 1876, ho paid mo for commissions ou the money recsived from tbe Central railroad what she refused to pay, two thousand more, above $20,000 having been.brought into[the treasury on that case by virtue of decisions made by the Bupreme Court of Georgia, affirmed by the Supreme Court cf the United State?, making $4,000 from Governor Smith. I have received nothing from Governor Co’qiitt, never having presen ted him with any actoiut. This is the whole acconnt itemized, and I hope that tbe C. and 0. will find much good readiBg in it. The number cf fi. fas. resisted by the railroads is between fifty and sixty, and every single one tried they have been found deiaulters. I think up to this term mere than one hundred thousand dollars have been paid Into the State Treasury uniter the principles thns far de- aided by tho treaty, beyond what the rail roads admitted to bo dne, and xqztyxqz, with tho aid of the best lawyers of the State, sided by two of the most distin guished lawyers ont of the Stats, practic ing iu the Bupreme Court of the United Stales, and there ate two now denied judgments in favor of tbe State for about five hundred thousand dollars for taxes and penalties on oases made by the railroads and deoided by the oourts of tbe iait resoit whioh can be realizid at the pleasure of tbe State. Besides these taxes thns receiveollfor the years 1874 5- 6 7, the property thus subjected by these deoieions, ail of whioh was claimed to bs partially or wholly exempt, by these de. oisiuns, is decided to be perpetually liable to anuu.il taxation by the legislature of Georgia under her own Constitution. By their decisions the State can increase her revenue more than two hundred thous* and dollars per anmum by simply taxing railroad property at the Bamo rate aB she does that of paupers who own a soap- gourd or a string of red peppers. By this litigsiion forty millions ot privileged property has been brought under the law,and eubj-ct to be taxed at the general and equal rates. What honest man re grets ii? Ido not wish the Chronicle mi Constitution >Ust to understand that my account for just compensation is closed, but he may take consolation from the facts that tbe counsel of the Stare will not .have to call on the treasury for their fees. They can be abundantly compen sated by tolling their recoveries extorted by law from the grasp.of publio plund erers.

The editor negleots to state that he is president of Emory Col lege, and would naturally oppose, very fisroely, any expenditure of funds for ed- acation by whioh his oollege was not di rectly benefited.

The Athens Chronicle sajs Mr. John Meeker bought a small farm near that plaoe a few years ago, the land being exceedingly poor, and that this year “he had about 100 acres In small grain.

The father of the ohild beoame much incensed at this when it was re ported to him by the little one, and nsed some very exoited language towards the offender. The latter, in turn, became angered, and words emued, whioh result ed in a personal enoauntsr. This was speedily stopped, but after it was over, a eon of the gentleman who had first given way to his temper, hearing of the affair, sent a challenge to tho party who had been engaged in the difficulty with his father. The challenged party immedi ately sued ont a pesos warraLt against the challenger, however, both parties were put under bond, and thus the affair terminated.

Some More of bis Traces —The R:me Courier prints a long list of persons re cently eeleoted by Felton from ev ery county in his district to meet in Car- tersville in October end examine cacci dates for a cadetship to West Point.

Walkor, Republican candidate for Governor of Georgia in 1872, and Walker Brook, the leading Republican in the lower end of the Seventh district, and who said in 1878 that Dr. Feltou waa a good enough Republican for him.” Well, why nol? Didn’t these men and their like enable him to defeat the Democratic candidate for Congress in that district, and d> they not deserve eome recognition? Tax Courier also remarks that “now since good rains have come, and the farmers have a little leisure, we know of nothing that would be more appropriate or afford more interesting entertainment for the people than the publication, in its entirety, of Dr. Felton’s correspond ence with Ferry and other prominent Radicate last year when he was so fiercely fighting the Democratic party.

Daring that time he has completed and sent to Hsvi- land A Go., in L’meges, France, over fifty designs for what will be ths first tray American china dinner set. The eet is or dered for the White House, and the oontraot calls for its completion early next year. Mr. Davis gives the following acconnt of the new state dinner set: “ The eet will embrace a special design for'the oyster Plate. The a.up plate is mode’ed from the Ksimia flow er, ths mountain laurel, the form be'ng that ota bowl rather than of the narrow-based plate at present in use. It is the fiovtr with its natural base instead of the circular base, and the decoration of this series will be simple, though strong in oolor, embracing this list of subjects: A clam bake, crab, gr.0: turtle, okra, palmetto, osbbsge, mvzs, potato, laorel. frog. Toe fish series of twelve is headed by a platter, the decora tion of whioh is a magmflosnt shad, gilied In a golden net. The form of this d'sh is novel, being rectangular with ths edges rolled and tipped with dead gold. The deco rations inolude a bloc fish chasing a porgy, lobsters fighting, speckled trout, terrapin of Maryland, and the red snipper of the Golf of Mexico chasing a bntteifly fish. The sme series embraces designs representing ffierent species of American game feasting or flying, bathing, Ao. The dinner aeries will oonsiet of twelve plates, illustrating the following subjects: An antelope in the cac tus bad lands; a bear in a bee tree, ia(whicb Mr. Bruin hss got into trouble, while a com rade, seated comfortably below, laughs at him, and a thunder storm in the distacoa gives tone to the pioture; a black tailed deer aacendtug the slope of tha Ro:ky Mountains at sonrUe; a big horn or Rooky Mountain sheep; tn old buffalo in a snow storm, Bnrroandid by coyotes and gray wolves; chickens in a garden ; a coon in a persimmon tree; the crane's “walk around;” on tho plains at night with Ouster; the May flswer; pccsseies or the wild pigs of America, and the Virginia dear, whioh is a night effect. The jack light is in gold, with its reflection sparkling in tho water beneath, and its gleam3 tinging the lily-pods with gold. A noble back stands knee deep among thsee. The dessert sot will be quite simple in detign, tho sabjests being entirely American and embracing, among others, the following: The psora nut, ot Texas, tho chincapin, the pawpaw and the persimmon. The last plate of the service will be of Indian detign, a fao simile of an Indian plate, ar tistically handled. This plate is called ‘crackers, cheese and cigars ’ I have intro duced an independent American batter plate- the object of which is to give a pcint of osl- or and a reflective light in the glaisas. It is a pond lily leaf, slightly carted, and npon the snrf ace of tho leaf is a drop of Havi- land’a faience glaze, eimnlating water. The after dinner ccffee cap is of a very novel design, and quite unlike any cup at present in use. The tea cup is a Mandarin's hat inverted- The stem of a spray of the tea ilant forms ths handle. The ohooolate cup a also novel. Mr. Haviland writes that there will be tut 25 seta designed by Havi land and myself, and the President’s sst will be numbered.” Bt.

The dealers resisted and ridiculed the ‘mactiiae’ for some time, but in the end it triumphed, and prices were redneed. The ac'.nal cost of manafaotnring ice in Florida is not far from seventy cento a ton, and this includes the storing and deli very.
