Alauagsr Hammond; May it please your honor, It is necessary tor us to put Iho court and country in possession of the law governing this caso. This I will en deavor to do. [Mr. Hammond spoke of tho confidence the people put in the Senate, and the importance of the issue before them.] The law authorizing this trial has been questioned. It has been asked by what law is this trial conduct ed ? I answer, by the law of the laud. Bat they say the law is only contained in the Constitution, the Digest and the de cision!. Not entirely so. Bat there is a higher law which run3 through all laws and constitutions, the law of the people’s safety. This is the law of your oaths Judge Story says that no act of Congress is necessary to authorize an impeach ment. He farther read from tne same authority what is meant by “high o> imes and misdemeanors,” quot ing trom Magna Charts, Mr. Webster’s great speech on the Dartmouth College and Sedgewok on “Construction of Law.” Mr. Hammond further read the legul meaning of the term “due process of law,” from Cooley on Tax it ion. He also read srotion 129 of the coda, on what omstiiutos ineligibility of holding office, showing that this coart is the only proper tribunal for a trial of this oase. Would yon a-.k for farther law to an- thonzs von to take jurisdiction of this case ? Then I ask yoa to follow the law followed by the donate m former timea; the law ia the oase of Borneo, Jackson, Ssise, Fiou'noy ; the law which was used by JSlaisaoimaotto, New Yoik and other States. Yoa oan surely follow this law. It ins been -aid we will roly oa E iglish pteceder ta. Wny of course we will. All law in tula country is founded ou E lgli-h law. Yoa are referred to all the behead ings, wmppiogs and other oruelnes which disgrace a former age. You fccow how well these acta of cruelty are used by sharp lawyers, and I btlitve that this ar gument is made only for the purpose of blinding you. Mr. Hammond then laid rtowa the principle that this oourt has jansdtoiioa of tbisoase; that foes are matters of law and where the ltw is silent, the right does not exist; that igaoranos will not ex cuse guilt; that an official must pay over to the State the money in his posses sion; that this money moat be paid over without d- maud; that an olfisial is prs sumed to know all matters of record in bia office. Mr. flt-JOtniad the a give a brief and running outline of the tacts alleged aud relied on to sustain the articles of im peachment. M*ny of these fasts have be- oamd matter of common information, and h ivs goua forth lo he tpeopio iu the tee. TssTiftrtHy IMModLCaaatt upon the violation c.f-tao act of 1866. 'Ills act was subsequently repealed at the recommendation of the Comptroller in 1S70 >r 1S71, who was an official un der a Ridieal administration. But all and every unjust and cruel ptovision or that act was revised iu the net of 1879, whies was patssd tinier the xecommeu- cation of the respondent". We are indebted to Mr. GsUanuh for all those troubles and ast'-nous coafisca. lions. As to article first, we say wa will ea Ublisb every allegation, by the evidence of living men, in its broadest sense, aud wh'ta th * fills by matters of record. Mr. Hsmmond then quoted from the code aud Cobb's Digest to show what is allowed by law to ibe Comptroller Gens ral; that whenever any additional duties aie imposed upon him, his salary is al ways luoreaaed, and the law consequent ly rt quires him to pay over all costs and feta. Tbs fl it, seond and third artioles are founded on tho violation of oertain direo’-ariminal acts of the code._Ses>ion 4,507 of the code. Is it right for him to anticipate the day of sab ? Artiole five was formally indictable at common law, bnt not by, onr processes. This ar'icld alleges the fraudulent trans fer of 223 tax fi. fas. to -D imel Lett for $11,400 after all taxes had been psid on ' laic und. Will you see this great offise converted into a sponging house. Strike out Ibis ariiole. Artiols six, I sty, chirgss the respon dent nith paying out money without tho v.rrant or emotion of toe Governor. We o,ll your attention to tne faot that in 1S72 he had prepared a complete lnt of ad the wild land in the State; he there fore uoght to know all about tne matters of his office. I call \ onr speoial attention to artiole (even. We confided to the Comptroller- General a high jadloial funotion—the doty of deciding who are the real owners of the wild land levied on; but he has delegated this authority to tho sheriffs of the State, tbs very men bis former action made in 1 (treated in tbs sale of these lands. Mr. Hammond then read from Sedg wick on Construction of Statutes, cer tain sections supporting the proposition that ail special powers shall be executed ittiotly, and that said special powers are i'Jfily persona), and cannot be delega te. Ia article nine, wo find an over virtaons *ct, a payment of money nnauthorized hj law. We will show the objeot of this *tt to try to gain the good-will of the ipponere of his acts. Io article ten the respondent Is charg- with withholding a large amount of r* collected from insurance companies. ~ r -1 almond then gave a brief history •> innraaoo taxation, the amounts which - .t- . ,. a paid into the Treasury, etc., JAd what ought to have been in the 5*0! the Comptroller Genertl, eto. he has made false return! of the ** e - If we can furnish evidenoe to that a faba return has been made, ,' a *• will conviot him of this great of tionwill stalk within yon corridors of yonr capital. As long as you will keep the Ugh; of investigation on the affairs of the State, public clamor will not trouble yon. Zt is said that this ourse may have had Its otigin in a greed for money, or battle for offils. Suppose it is so—yet one little word would have done the res pondent more service than all this. The Legislature has not sent ns here to pnrsue a man. for honesty, on aeconnt of erroneous judgment or infirmity of intel ligence. Bat when iin offioial, claiming ta be honest, o jmas before ns and Btrivss by demurrers aud such technioal pleas of not guilty he deserves no mercy. In this inquest over the honor of -an official let U3 consider the circumstances whan this respondent wentdnto office. Io was at a time when .wa had thrown off the yoke of-acorrapt administration that he was called on in the effort to, rebuild the social and moral structure, to stand by and guard the treasure wrung from a people’s necessities. With this trust w s there not an obligation higher -than oat ha or covenant*? - If my enemy had done tnis I could have borne it, but when I am betrayed by my frieHd and in my own house. I am filled with grief. Here I leave the question. Tne court then, at the oonclusioa of Mr. Qimmona’s speech, adjoarned till 3:30 p. m. Toe Senate adjourned till 3:25 p m. The speech ot Mr. Hammond is very highly spoken of here. It has made a meat profound impresdon ou the oourt. I am not the author of the article signed “Alpha,” appealing ia the issue of the 6th imc.

We are an easy, going people, not enbj-ot to excitement;; onr streets are broad, onr depots remote, and the noise of traffio, which in other cittaa would amount to a ruab, here, are lost npon the length and breadth of the streets. We work without bustle, but wa work hard, and successfully; let any one who dcabte stand around the freight and passanger depots for one day and watch the trains; ho will sea masses of goods hauled away, train load after train load without t-nd; ho will ieo the drum mer who sells them, satchel in hand, slip quietly aboard tho passenger coaches and begin tha journeys that traverse four S'.iites aa-i include every iirmiet. Tha wholesale trade of Macou is its glory. Among the trades the wholesale whis ky business has grown to sn almost in- credible extent. This business is one we bad never looked into until. yesterday, We entered tbe establishment of Mr. J. H. Campbell on Cherry street, and were politely received by the cLrk in charge, who showed m through the building, ex plalAlBffTUB wifi partioular line. ,^| 4^ Anujft |n t.: 'A* -UdUc) tua iBiuat ci uitacu Guu-jfcu m There ia not much va-‘ o£-jtr*ndi children. Ha lenvea rioty in a stuck of whiskies to tha eye; is a jnestiou of taste, but, nevaitUelese, we Siw many old familiar names, as we passed down the long rows of casks: “Old Valley,” “Pet," “Lexington O.ub, “Old Pillow” and other .chelae brands without number. Mr. Campbell is sole agent for these brand*, and has made them famous throughout Georgia, Ala bama aud Florida—has made them, popu lar, which ia better than fame when measured in dollars and cents. It ia said thara is one Georgia town whose citizens never lift a glass of the “Pet” to their lips without a fervent “health to Jim Campbell.” This thought is partly due to the popularity of the gentleman him self, who is personally known in every district that deals in his good?'. It ia the antiring energy and uniform “oon homie” of the man that has built np trade that knows no rival in tbe South. Mr. Campbell keeps only pure liquors and buys them from first hands. Even hie common goods are bought double proof, fur by this mean3 he saves just one-half in freights. These common goods are reduced by the sam9 process as practiced <n the west, and in adopting the plan he has of carrying oat the reduction here, ho ie enabled to sell actually cheaper, freight considered, than at headquarters. He gives bia personal attention to every detail ol the business, taking the road pe riodically, that by actual personal con tact with hie neighbors, he may learn their wants; in thia way ho knows exact ly how to supply every district, and adds to hia almost boundless experience, new and valuable ideas. “Qaick sales, small profits and satisfaction to all parties,” and he never foils in a promise. It requires a large stock to supply the trade of three States. If there is any thing ia the world diversified, it is the taste in liqnor; but this honse keeps the stock to suit tbe length and breadth of its territory; and it is a stock selected by a man with the experience of many years to guide him. The honse deals only in pare liquors, every drop of which ia guaranted; thia is.a feature which few houses possess. In the daya when a man places a glass to his lips and swal lows its contents with doubtful pleasure, it is a comfortable feeling ta have a gnarantee of this kind to fall back on. We are not much of a drinker, bnt it does seem to U3 that we would enjoy whisky more if we had a reliable certifi cate as to the good character of the few drinks we do take. The best pledge of a honse, however, in this lino is its suoocss. When Mr. Campbell began thia business it iraa a amall oncj he had mt only rival houses, but rival cities to oontend with, and every business man knows what that means. He surmounted all difficulties, and by a close adherence to bn9inese principles* and by hia personal effort?, placed thia house far above all competitors. To Bhow the ex tent of the trade of this house, we relate as a fact that a man might leave Maoon in a buggy, visit every town in Georgia, west Alabama, and north Florida, and yet never have to take his morning “amile" or hia evening “night-cap” from any other than the brands ot liquors ws have named. It i; such sterling busnsbs centres as this tbat build up and strengthen our oity. Wa wish Mr. Campbell a oontinaanoa of hia SUC09--'. Inis bou?e does a striotly wholesale business, and it is a sight to go into it aud 8?esooi<-s of barrels marked for shipment for all pares of Georgia, Flori da and Alabama. It reminds oue of the Urge establishment! of the North and West. A Patient Fisherman.—Tne Fincwtle, (Virginia^ Herald, makes a good report of Senator Hampton as a fisherman. In five daya spent on the nppar James riv er, he caught one hundred and ninety- five baas—averaging thirty-nine a day. Oca day he caught as many as sixty- eight. He uses the fly bate. The Gov ernor ia mina3 his right leg below the knee, and though ho still uses crutches his health is much improved, and he is quite vigorous. THK GEORGIA PRESS.

Sun has this mild blow, which we think entirely justifiable, and therefore re echo it: Really, onr own Georgia papers hardly know what this city le doing. Atlanta is the wonderful oity of the Booth, be cause it is the railroad centre of the S ate. Its growth is wonderfnl. The little city of sixteen thousand Inhabitants oalled Columbus, on the Ohattahooohee river, is also making marvelous progress. In 1865 the Federal soldiers had a big cotton and faotory burning in this place. That was fourteen years ago. Now 52,000 spindles and 2.000 looms are making merry music on the river, and thousands of people are supported by them. The Enquirer- Sun't annual repart shows mat for the past season tbe town warehoused 87,100 bales ol cotton, an increase of 13 750 over the previous Bottom:, and of this amount our factories took 14,365 bale*, avd trebled their value, Besides, we can show the largest iron works in the State, a bagging faotcry turning out 2 000 yards per day, and other industrial enterprises. In material, solid progress, our slow oily is equal tu the faetsst, because ehe bnugs more clear money to tbe State than is sent onr. We sell goods from Maine to California. Oars is a very Blow city, so some s»y, but such alow cities will yet work out the salvation of tbe South. The capital for onr varied industries was furnisned by Southern men of this section. What other place in G-orgia or the South equals our manufacturing record? Georgia wants more such Blow places, where tbe hum of productive industries are heard. Lowndes county tax payers will buy an extra lot of Christmas gifts this year. The total tax is only 61 cents on tha bun dred, which is mnoh less than has been evied for eeveral years.

On "“Grange Day” m Lowndes county, the editor of the Quitman Reporter inter viewed several of the largest planters of the oounty, and all gave doleful accounts of the cotton crop. None of them esti mated it higher than two-thirds of what it was lssfc year. On the same Bubjeot th8 Albany Advertiser paints thi3 sombre picture: There can no longer be any doubt that the preaent ootton crop iu tbis section will be cut short at least fifty per cent, by the caterpillars. Fields that gave promise of a fair yield ten daya ago are now completely riddled by the millions of worms that hare made their appearance during the cloudy and rainy weather that prevailed the latter part of Uat week and th8 first part of this. A gentleman who rode through the country from Baker county to Camilla on Wednesday 8ay= he paesed numbers of fields where not green leaf was to be seen. Another Ba- ker county planter who came up to the city on Thursday morning informed us that the stench from the caterpillars in the fields along the road actually made him sick. Neither of the gentlemen seemed to think that there would bs more than one-fourth of a ootten crop made in Baker county this year. Baker is no exoaption, either, but the same gloomy reports reaeh ns from all the neighboring counties. The ootton weed having been stripped of all its leaves and poisoned by the worms, the second or “top orop” will bo a to'al failure, and perhaps not more than half of the bolls now on the stalks will ever reach matur itr. This is no overdrawn picture, but tbe facta givm above, however gloomy they may appear, are facts nevertheless.

We entirely sympathise with the Madisonian in the following indignant outburst whioh is found in its last issue: The most niggardly aot that has ever dis graced the Legislature, was the refusal to appropriate money to rebuild the col lege buildings at Dahionega by the prea ent body. Thia institution is a branoh of the University, and has accomplished more in the education of our youth than any other school in the State; and the Legislature oould have well afforded to give it the $20,000 asked to rebuild it. ’ M rttnge Kemarks About tbe Tice ('resident.

No attempt is made to proselyte the students, so that Protestant parents snd guardians who send their sons to Pio Nono, need not apprehend that any im proper influences will be used to seduce them from the faith of their fathers.
