Thb£b Thousand Doelab3 Mi3=iso.—
On TasEdsy afternoon last, Mr. Sol.
Frick, tho Conductor and Express Mes
senger between Hawkinsvillo and Coch
ran, telegraphed to Mr. John Fann, the
Express agent at Hawkinsvilb, to meet
him at the depot on tho arrival cf tho
train at half past ten oV.ook that night,
as he had a package of threo thousand
dollars to deliver. Mr. Fann sat np for
the tram, and was much astonished and
alarmnd on 11b arrival to find that the
valuable package was missing, and that
so account could be given of it.
Mr. Qainker, the messenger on the
main line, delivered tho package to Mr.
Frink at Cochran about two o’clock in
the afternoon, and tcok a receipt for It.
Mr. Frick eaye that ho took tho pack
age and placed it in the iron cafe in the
express csr, locked the safe end pnt the
ki-y in his pocket.
After tho arrival of the night psmengcr
train from Macon at Cochran, about ten
o’clock Tnesday night, tho HawkineviHe
tram was made ready, and with tho
passengers and freight for Hawkinsvillo,
left on schedule time.
Whilo crossing the bridge, just before
resshiDg Hawkinavillr, Mr. Fdnh cajs
ho went to tho safe in the exgros3 car,«a*
locked it to gat tbo package ready for de
livery. He was almost struck^damb
when he found that the package was
missing. Ho wes satisfied that he
locked tbo safe in Cochran and that he
found itlocked when he went to get the
package.
The whole thing appears Involved in
myelery.
David Fitts, a colored mas, who is on
employeo of tho road, has keys to the ex
press car, Bnd generally sleeps in the car
until tho arrival of the Macon at Cochran.
Mr. Finn had Fitts arrested and he is
now in jail at Hawkinsvillo awaiting for
further developments.
The money was expressed from Savan
nah by tho Southern Bank of tho Stato
of Georgia to the Hawkinsvilio Bank
and Trust Company.
Messrs. Henry and Fann, the railroad
officials hue, do cot attach i so 1'-- ’ en
picion to tbo conduct of Mr. Frink, bnt
nave unbounded confidence '-i ' is i*. -
esty. But there is a mystery abjat the
matter that is inexplicable. It'is possi
ble that parties may have gained an en-,
trance to the car after dark, and with a
key provided for the purpose gamed ac
cess to the iron safe aad extracted the
package cf money. „ ,
S^xAKtsa of Treasurer Bsufroe s cibo
the Dispatch says "two thousand dollars
(a too small a salary for such an office
and with enoh a bond, and the State can
not get a competent a-d honest man to
fill tne place for the miserable sti j d.
Wherein yon differ with the Augusta
Chronicle and the Atlanta Dispatch most
decidedly, the latter paper, especially,
which Bays on this subject:
Tho present is pscatiarly a timo when
extravagant salaries should not be be-
etowed. It is a time of low wages w
every private bnstne-s. The public tares
are now a burden to the people, and many
oannot pa7 them without sacrificing
property needed for their oomfort. This
very condition of things—this difficulty of
procuring remunerative labor in private
easiness—conduces greedy to the demor
alizing scramble for public office now so
common. It 13 now-a-days the pay more
than tho honor that exottes it. Hign eai-
aries will only aggravate the evil. If
moderate salaries have only an influenoe
in diminishing it, even in that way they
are wholesome and beneficial. Eet pub
lic officers have fair pay for their work,
but not snoh fat places as will "beguile”
the people to forsake their fields of pri»
vate labor in the attempt—disappointing
to tbo large majority—to cecnre official
positions.
Thb Eastman limes says there is a
dog ,‘in the neighborhood of Back Horn,

The Gaihesveix and Dahlonega
Eailhoad.—The Gainesville Eagle says
“the contract for the grading of the
Gainesville and Dahloncga railroad, will
bo let out tc-morrow night at a meeting
of tho directors to bs held in the otfio- of
Messrs. Marley and Perry. The worn
will be commenced at once and pushed
rapidly forward. It is hoped tha own
ers of lind through which the road passe*
will cheerfully givo the right of way and
throw no obstacles in the way of the en
terprise. President Price says he expects
to have the care rnnniag by the first of
March. Wo trust the prediotion may be
verified.
Thb Constitution of yesterday has tha
following:
The procesdinga in the general assem
bly were exceedingly interesting, not to
say sensational. In the Senate (be im
peachment trial of Comptroller Gold.-mith
was closed by the delivery of ■ written
sentence by the chief jastloe. A large
crowd gathered to bear the sentenoe pro
nounced. Before the sentence, Jndge
Hopkins delivered an impressive speech,
giving tho Ireasona why Goldamitn bad
tendered bis resignation—aiating that as
the oase developed that he bad been be
trayed by men in bis office. He stated
al3o that he was authorized to say by b»
client that he did not reoolltct any
each conversation as Senator Hol
combe had alluded to in bis speeoh
of tho day before. The reading of
the sentence was heard in silenoe.
Aa Judge Warner's voice ceased,
with the close of the dreadfnl sentence,
the High Court cf Impeachment conven
ed for the trial of Washington Ii. Gold
smith, passed ont of existence. After the
court had adjourned, the Senate went on
with its business, and before the boar of
one had arrived, had disposed of all the
Legislative busiresa before it. It will be
seen from this that thaBenato has kept
np with the business of tho Honse, be
side* carrying on the impeachment trial.
In the House the epecial order of th
day was the consideration of the reports
on John W. Nelms, the Principal Keeper
of the Penitentiary. The sensation of
tho morning was the fierce attack made
upou ex Governor Brown by Mr. Gar
rard, in which he reviewed in a
truculent manner tho story of tho trial
of the Columbus prisoners, and referring
to Governor Brown’s allusion to tho com
mittee as a star-chamber, said that the
days cf the sweat-box recalled the worst
type of a star-ohamber. His allusion to
Governor Brown as "a mean anonymous
writer in a city paper” created a seda
tion. Mr. Walters followed in denuncia
tion of Governor Brown, being almost as
bitter as Mr. Garrard. Tha sensation of
the afternoon was the introduction by
Mr. Humber,of a resolution blaming Gov.
Cilquiu, for not interfering in the matter
of Nelc:a CDUtraot. This resolution created
the intensest excitement, and was the nni-
ver°*1 topic of conversation. It will be
the leading question this morning, and
there are rumors of sharp orovs-tiring,
and some Interesting work. There is no
donbt that the resolution was a severe
shock to most of the members of the
Honse, and tbo almost universal Impres
sion was that tho Honse would not sus
tain it, in either letter or spine. The de
bate promises to be lively in the extreme
this morning, and the vote will be a dacta
ive one.
Mr. Humber’s resolution is u fol
lows:
JUsolvcd, Tnat this honse pronounoes
its noon■ TH d censure on the action of
JohnW. Nelms, principal keeper of the
Georgia penitentiary tn making a private
contract with the leases of the conviots of
slid pcsit-hUiry to deliver uud oonviote
to them at a certain price per capita and
in enforcing the same contrary to law;
bnt it bsing shown to the House by the
evidence in this oaee that bis exoellency,
tho Governor, having been pat in posses*
sion of all the facts (by Jndge John L.
Hopkins,) as to the demands of said prin
cipal keeper to have paid to him by cer
tain leasees a gfron amount of money,
against whioh they enterod their solemn
protest, and cs bo refused to interfero,
therefoie be indirectly, if not directly,
approved a»id action and is responsible
for tbia wrong and unlawful procedure of
said officer.
We n’60 find in the Constitution the fol
lowing copy of tho official sentence pro-
ccucccd in tho Goldsmith case :
Ta* Hju*o of Representatives and all
the people ef Georgia, vs. Washington

tells Bomo astonishing stories as to the
time made by them in private trials.
John Marr, who brought ont the cele
brated Bismarck, has in training Lucy
Jim, a green blaze-facad black mare; a
sorrel horss owned by a party in Fori
Valley, one of the finest two year olds in
the South, and Mr. Plcnt’a young horse
John M„ a fine, clever well formed ani
mal. As he has never ye, appeared in
a race, his time is unknown, but it is
generally conceded that he can make
2:4* on a goed track. He is one of the
dark ones. Mr. Plant likeo a good
horse, bnt is not inclined to enter bis
borsea in races. Mr. Marr will have
charge of him at tho several fairs. Mr.
Or ok, that drove Basil Duke and the
speedy gray horse, Sand Hill, for two
seasons so successfully, ia now handling
Mr. Anderson’s splendid five year old
colt, Electric. His Weeding, open gait
acd perfoct form makes him a valuable
norse. In time be should trot at least
in tbe twenties. Mr. O. also has tbo
late Clint Taylor’s horse. Stranger, and
several other speedy ones, oil of whioh
aro expected to show what they can do
in the circuit including, Griffio, Albany,
Macon, Atlanta, &c. I havo also learned
that there ore two very fast trotters at
Barneavillo, tha young stallion, Gsli

at Griffin, including tho old reliable stal
lion John Kemball Jackson, and it hea
been hinted to mo that tho Rheumatic
Spide was not sold np North, bat will
put in an appearance at Atlanta and Ma

Ths Atlanta correspondent of tho Au

It is lb* opinion of the Bainbridgo
Democrat, "that tho present Senate is

What it has Done and is Doing.—Wo
take great pleasure in reproducing tne fol
lowing from the Dahlonesa Signal:
There is not perhaps in the entire
State on institution of leamiog that ha*
and is accomplishing aa much good as
Dablonega College. The following facta
so kindly inruiatica ne by tbo accommo-
idtiug Socr t*ry of the Faculty, Major
Joseph G*rrr.rd, will b<ar a* ont in this
assertion.
Sicca the paseag? of the law some
three year* ago, uu nonziug it, 191 cer
tifies-ea loteacn have been issued. Out
of this number it is reasonable to sup
pose that seventy-five aro now engaged
in teaching. Fhe blank reports sent ont
for the purpose, Ehow an average attend
ance tor each teacher of fifty-nine
acholo3rs, which makes a grand total of
4,425 pupil*! This number, it will be re
membered, is exclusive of a great many
who are being taught by students who
loft this Cuiiege and received their license
from the Conuty School Commissioners,
provions to tbe paes,ge of the act a< or*
referred to. Up to the morning of the
lGth in,t.. 142 truisms bad emered for
the Fall Term, This number represents
four States. Thirty-eight counties in
Georgia being represented.
Thus it will be seen that no college in
the State—not even our venerable mother
at Atheas, with seventy #e»r* the startof
n=—osn ehow such a reoordj.
The Sparta Times and Planter has the
following notice of a recent visit to David
Dickson’* farm in Hancock county :
Considering tho season, bis orop3 are
really splendid. We eaw one fifty-acre
field of cotton that was beautiful to be
hold. Truly was it "white to the har
vest.” Most of tho cotton wa open and
being rapidly gathered. Thirty bales is
e low estimate for the field—indeed forty
docs not seem to us extravagant. His
corn is the finest wa have seen—that un
der bis immediate supervision being a
real good crop for any year.
Mr. Dickson very reasonably expects
to gather from eleven to twelve hundred
bales of cotton this season. One year he
gathered 1,500 bales from tho M-me
lands and Mr. Wortben thinks at least
two hundred were lost in the fields for
lack of time to cave it. There is an nn-
-ua*l amount of sickness in this neigh
borhood. Wa were sorry to find Mr.
Dickson and Mr. Worthen, hia nephew,
both unwell.

Counsellor Hopkins, on tbo part of the
defense, declined to take advantage of
tbe permission ot the oonrt to make a
statement of reasons why the defendant
did not avail himself o! the speeches of
the counsel.
Senator Clarke then addressed the
Senate on the amendment of Senator
Howell, and epoko at great length on
the question, showing how the sympa
thies of some Senators have led them in
to a realm of mercy and kindness unfit
for the enormities committed by the de
fendant.
The epeech of Senator Ciarka was
highly complimented by ail who heard it
as a clear exposition of tho constitutional
view of the question.
Senator B. H. Hill said, as Mr. Clarke
ooncluded hia argument, that the speech
of tho State Senator woald havo been a
great epecoh in the United States Senate.
Mr. Clarke was c early for the full ses-
t/nce without falterlDg.
Senator McDaniel said the unnsual
character ot this debate has rendered it
necessary for him to go at some length in
to this qnestion. The gentleman was
strongly opposed to the motion of Sena
tor Lumpkin to p%B3 fuller sentence and
favored the Howell amendment as being
tho true view of tbo Bubject.

there was no use in delaying tbe matter
farther, as the chamber could eettlo the

The Senate then resumed session as
Court of Impeachment.
THE HIGH COURT
was called to Older at 10 a. m., Chief
Justice Warner presiding.
Mr. Speer, who was absent yesterday
afternoon, asked leave to have hie voto
recorded in tbe negative on Mr. Howell’s
substitute and in tbe affirmative on Mr.
Lumpkin’s motion. Granted.
The jonrnal of yesterday was read and
approved.
The Chief Justice then asked: "Hava
the defendant’s oonnsel any reason to
state why the final decision of tbe court
should not be pronounoed and entered
upon tbe reoord?”
Judge Hopkins then rose and said that
there was no longer any hope that the
sentenoe would not be recorded. The de
fendant has already been found guilty,
and it only remains for the oonrt to an
nounce tbe penalty. Ha said that the
offioe of Comptroller was the most intri
cate offioe in the State, and that no one
man oould in a short time oomprehend it
In all its details. The present ossa
ia hard to nnderstacd, and Is
inuioata beyond oonception. In eon
ducting this ease we have acted under
tbe assumption that the defendant was
an honest man. We do not deny that
there were irregularities in the offioe and
violations of law. But they were com*
mitted openly and in the light of day,
showing that the Comptroller did not
consider them as violations. When
be retires from offioe a condemned man
it will not be for any intentional diahon
eaty, bnt from a miscomprehension of
the law. We bad hoped that the penalty
would not be to tho full extont of tbe
law, bnt yesterday’s vote deoided tbia
matter beyond recall. Whatever may
be the conviction of Senators and those
who have listened to tbia trial from the
beginning, I shall retire with the convio
tion that tbe defendant is not wilfnliy
guilty of crime.
Jndge Hopkins called attention to the
fact that one ot the Senators (Mr. Hoi
combe) yesterday made a statement of
fact which had not beforo been introdoc*
ed, and whioh the defendant bad had nn
opportunity to answer. He add be had
the defendant’s authority for stating
that tbo Comptroller was unwilling to
concedo suoh foots as bring true. This
was in reference to a conversation be
tween Mr. Goldsmith and Mr. Holcombe
on the morning after the articles of im-
peaobment had been preferred.
Mr. Holoombe reiterated the statement
made by him in his speech on yesterday.
The Chief Jastloe then read the sen
tence whioh removes Washington L.
Goldsmith from ths office of Comptroller
General and disqualifies him from hold
ing any offioe of trust, honor or profit in
this State during hia natural life.
On motion of Mr.DnBoee ths Impeach
ment court was deolared dissolved.
Chief Jutico Warner returned thanks
the Senate for courtesies shown
daring tbe trial, and at seven minutes
after eleven o’olock adjourned the court
sine die.
.At 11:10 s. m. the Senaia resumed
legislative sessions.
Mr. Ciarka offered a resolution to the
effeot that the rules governing the trial
in the oase of W. L. Goldsmith be adopt
ed, with slight amendments, te govern

er of the Penitentiary. He urged the

sponsibility on the Governor. He de
dared that tbe offioe bad been greatly

Tho clerk than read at the gent ecisn'a
request, certain portions of the evidence
of Judge Hopkins before the commibtea,
in whioh he eaid that Colquitt told him
that the contracts were made between
Nelms and other parties, and that ho
had nothing to do with the matter.
If John Nelms ought to be turned ont
of office. I put to yon a fair question. If
Alfred U. Co!quitt|ough t not to be pat oat
of office; they are inwparabh; Nelms ia a
part of the Executive Department. If
there is any crime, I ask is not tho Gov
ernor particeps criminis ?
Let us deal with John Noims only u3

ail the facia,(by Judge John L, Hopkins)
as to the demands of said principal
keeper to have paid to him by certain
lessees a given amount of money against
which they entered their earnest protest
aud as be rcfcs.d to interfere, therefore,
he is indirectly if not directly responsible

clerk for eome years in the wild land

THE HOU8E.
Atlanta, Sept. 20.
The House met at 9 o’clock, aud was
called to order by tbe Speakei. Prayer
by Rsv. Mr. Hanke, of the House. The
roll W03 called and the journal read.
THE INVESTIGATION.
The unfinished ou .inea9 was the substi
tute offered by .Mr. Humber, for tho res
olutions of tho Committee, which has in
veatigated tho Principal Keeper of the
Penitentiary. Tho substitute condemns
the Governor for allowing tbe malfea
sance of Mr. Nelms.
Mr. Walters said ho wished to state
that tho Oommitteo were not in sympa
thy with the substitute. Toe question
was on the conduct of Mr. Nelme. If the
subBtilute was offered at the proper time
and in the proper way, it would be con
sidered.
At present, Mr. Walters said, ha was
opposed to the substitute at this time.
He called the previous question on tha
anbBtitnte and the call wa* sustained. The
yaaa and naya were erdered. Tne yeas
were 16 and the nayB 115, so the substi
tute was lost.
Mr- Duvall offered a substitute pro
viding that the whole matter be recom
mitted to a special oommittee of five
with instructions to investigate the mas
ter fully, and to give tbe principal keeper
of the penitentiary opportunity to have
all the evidence he may desire.
Mr. Pike favored the enbatitate.
Mr. Garrard spoke in favor of the res
olutions ousting Mr. Naims.
Mr. Hu!sey eaid he spoke with hesi
tancy. He argued that one of the most
sacred rights of the principal keeper had
been denied him. The committee bad
taken evidence with closed dcora while
they were examining bis official conduct.
Nu wonder Mr. Nelms said he had no
more witnesses under suoh a process
There ia but ono way to meet this ques
tion. Either give him suoh a trial aa the
substitute proposes or impeach him and
let tbe Senate paBa upon it*
Mr. Russell said he seldom spoke bnt
felt it now his duty to advocate the sub
stitute of Mr. Duvall. The committee
bad not allowed thoaoousedto befaoed
by hia accucere. The testimony in this
oace shows a mere lot ot straws The
prinoipal keeper had been hauled up by
a leasee dissatisfied with aeontiacL A
member of tbe committee bad brought
personal feelings into the debate and at
tacked the character of a distinguished
Geoigian. Other* bad thrown imputations
on Governor Oolqnitt. Wo havo nothing
to do with Governor Colquitt or ex-Gov
ernor Brown.
Mr. Yanoey offered a substitute that
tbe matter be recommitted with instruc
tions to allow Mr. Nelms to ba present
during tbe investigation and orosa-exam
ins tbe witnesses.
Mr. Colley rose, and asked the .privil
ege of recording hi* -rote against the
substitute of Mr. Humber, whioh can
sued the Governor. He was detained at
home by8lcknessat the time the vote
was taken. Mr. Cclley was allowed to
reoord hia vote.
Mr. Matthews opposed the substitute,
and argued in favor of the resolutions
asking the removal of Mr. Nelms.
Mr. Strother said he believed in pro
serving intact the forms of jnstice. He
did not think the investigation had been
conducted in jnstice to the defendant,
and, therefore, he conld not vote to eject
Mr. Nelms on suoh evidence.
Mr. Milner favored the substitute as
means of giving tha accused a full and
fair hearing.
Mr. Turner of Brooks offered for in
formation a substitute that the evidence
in the investigation be transmitted to the
Governor with the request that he taka
whatever aotion thereon he may deem
proper. Mr. Turner, in his usual, calm
manner, advocated the polio/ of aodera<
tion.
Mr. Davis, of Houston—I would ask
the gentleman, do yon believe in allow
ing an officer who is being investigated
to be present and by himself and counsel
to cross examine witnesses ?
Mr. Turner—I will answer the inquiry
by asking the gentleman if he deems
that right.
Mr. Davis—I do.
Mr. Turner—Then I fear that there is
a difference of opinion between tho gen
tleman and myself which no controversy
would reconcile.
This repartee called forth some ap
plause on tho floor and in tbe galleries.
Mr. Yanoey offered for information a
substitute recommitting the matter to
tho same oommittoer with instruction? to
allow the pnnoipel keeper to be present
and cross examine all the witnesses. Mr.
Yanoey made some remarks in favor of
this cocrso of aotion as just and proper.
Mr, Davis, of Houston, said he de
nied the propriety of tho position of Mr.
Tamer as to the rights of officers under
investigation. He wonld never agree
that such should be the ruis of the House
in such oases. He did not propose for an
officer to appear with skilled attorneys to
brow beat witnesses and contort invest!
gations.
Mr. Davis urged tho removal ot Nelms
as a measure for preserving the purify of
official station in Georgia. He showed
the shortcomings and overt acts of Mr.
Nelms, whioh disqualified him from fill
ing this cffico witn hoccr to tho Stato
and justice to the people.
Mr. Colley said it would be unfortunate
to set a preoedent that a man might bs
punished without a hoariug. The qu:.’
or innocence of this man is now in ques
tion. Mr. Turner tui sngge3 ed im
proper policy, and that, if carried cai,
would do exact justice to all parties con
cerned.
Mr. Hammond said he spoke with re-
luotanoe. He believed this to bs a ques
tion which touched tbe great fundament
al pzinoiplea of onr system.
Mr. Hammond argued with calmness
and force for this proposed policy.
Mr, Cook oalled the previous question.
The call was sustained. The yeas and
nays were asked by Mr. Duvall, but were
refused. Mr. Turner ibea offered the
substitute submitting the question to the
Governor.
Mr. Davis of Houston, offered as an
amendment to the BUbatitnte the report
No. 1, which gives the facts adduced in
the inveatigaticn.
Mr. Colley called for tho previous
question and the call was sustained.
On motion of Mr. Harrison, the time
of the session was extended to half past
one.
Mr. Davis’ amendment was lost.
On Hr._ Turner’s substitute to submit
the question to the Governor, tha yeas
and nays ware called; tho yeas were 93
and tho naya 33. So the substitute was
adopted.
Mr. Rider made a shrewd point of or
der after the previons question had been
called and a motion to extend the time
o£ the session was made. He mado the
point that a motion to extend the time
could not ba mado pending a call for the
previous question. The point was ruled
well taken. The time was afterwards ex
tended by consent.
The House then adjourned ti 1
Monday morning nt 9 o’clock.
