THE STATE LEGISLATURE.
Atlanta, September 30.
THE SENATE
met »t nine s. m , the President in the
on air. Prayer by Rev. Dr. Dnnosn.
The roil was sounded, a quorum declared
and the Journal read and approved.
Senator Holoombe moved to reconsider
the resolution to allow Peterson Thweatt
to teat hi* claims against the State as
former Comptroller General in the Su
perior Court of Falton county,
A motion to table the motion to reoon-
aide? was agreed to by a of 27 yeas to 13
QgJI,
A resolution expressing a sense of aym«
palby With the Jasper celebration, was
adopted.
TUX HldU COUETOF IMPEACHMENT
met at ten. The Chief Justice on tbo
bench. The minutes wero read.
The Chief Justice, “Tbo managers on
the partof the House will proceed."
Manager Cox then proposed to intro-
dace in rebuttal, the majority report of
the oommitlee to investigate the conduct
of the Treasurers effloe.
^ _ Counselor Jaokaon, Jr.—The majority
'‘end minority reports aro both already in
evidence: The reports were admitted.
Manager Cox then introduced two of
the managers who had been on a sub
committee to oorrect the report of the
committee.
MANAOEROXATTFOBD aWOEN.
Witness was on the sob-committee,
said committee did submit tbs proof
sheets of the committee's reports to the
Treasurer, who made some few gramat-
icai corrections, and expressed himself
generally grateful and nnaer obligations
to ns for onr fairness.
0B0S8.
Did tell Renfroe that Alexander was
in the city, and that if Alexander wished
to modify his evidence the oommittee
wonld make no objection. Found some
{410, or more dollars in caaQ in the Treas
ury. There wero pass books to the
amounts In the books.
MANAOElt NIBBKT SWOEN.
Was on the sab-committee, Witness
testified to the samo facts as Mr. Craw*
fr.nl. That tho committee has aot re
ported yet as to the other irregularities
in the Treasurer's office, bnt the oommit-
teo haa material for a general report,
which they will make before the Legisla
ture adjourns.
I am confident that tho bond of the
Treasurer is insolvent. The bond oil
1876 has never been signed by the Treas
urer.
Connaelor Jackson, Jr., then introduced
the minority report. Also an account
between the State and John Jones, for
floating the Nutting bonds, showing an
expenditure of $8,414.
Both sides here closed their evidence,
and the argument on tho State was open
ed by
BON. ALLEN POET.
Mr. Fort said he entered upon the doty
before him with great modesty. He con
gratulated the people that this prosecu
tion did not involve and was not actuated
’ by party spirit. It is true the defendant
has endeavored to assist tbo investigation,
but no great credit is due to
him as the faots were so invincible that
any other course was closed to him.
Mr. Furt then took up tho idea of
there being a difference in things simply
prohibi rd oed things involving, reading
from Kents* commentaries in support of
his proposition. ’
The plea of ignorance of the law was
then taken up and Mr. Fort argued with
great force that ignorance of tbs law will
not excuse a criminal, adducing the fol
lowing authorities: 7th G*.. pago 7,
32bd Ga, psge 265, and Brown and
Hinds’ iegsl maxims. But the evidence
shows that he knew that it was unlawful
to take the State’s money. The statutes
show this and he quotes the statutes
himself. Benfroo tells us ho waa in the
Legislature in 187ti when tho resolution
exonerating Angier was adopted. That
he, therefore, could but know that the
resolution in question was of a private
nature and did not set up a precedent.
The defense claim distinguished ser
vices on the part of tho Treasurer as a
set off for the crimes and irregularities
charged against him. Why, this is as
untenable as the other proportion of his
defense.
He claims all the people of Georgia
have done together. He claims that he
has put the credit of tho State on a firm
basis. Why. he has only m some c.isea
fulfilled tbs law written for him,in which
he had nothing to do whatever, Jones
did more than he'did. In regulating the
Macon and Brunswick bonds, ho violated
the law, and yet ho claims that he saved
money for the Slate. (See Treasurer’s
report for 1877.)
Again, in the matter of the Garrard
bonds, he has perpetrated an enormous
fraud. Why, the banks all over the
State which have these bonds in their
vaults, even now receiving in «riat from
tho Slate to beep her money. Now,
where is there any distinguished services
here.
Then, again, he has removed the pnb-
lio motiev of tno Stale from oqq bank in
New York, thereby loaing the interest
on the deposit. Is this a distingniahed
public eervioe? Now, as to the motives
which actuated tho Treasurer. Tho evi
dence shows that it has not boon to servo
the people bat to subserve bis own pri
vate ends to grow riob. Is not this the
charaotcr of all hia aotions? Why, bo
has used tho public funds, ho has extorted
illegal feeB, and has also used his office
in endeavoring to obtain offioo for his
friends. Ho claims that ho invited in
vestigation. This is not tine, as ho failed
to tell of many transactions when hu
could do so voluntarily, bat only ans
wered questions relative to thorn when
he was questioned by tho oommittee un
der oath.
It U for you, Senators, to set the stan
dard of honesty in tho State- I thank
jou for your attention.
The speech of Mr. Fort occupied about
two hours, and was listened to with much
attention by tho Senate. Although des
titute of any attempt at oratorical display
or any attempt to inflaenco the case by
fal*a sentiment, tho speech of Mr.
Fort completely covered tne subject and
exhausted every argument. It was plain,
sensible and fully sustained in all of ita
propositions by the authorities quoted.
Immediately upon tho oonciusicn or
Mr, Fort’s epeeoh tho court adjourned un
til 3:30p.m.
The Senate met in Legislative assem
bly and took up, read and passed to a
third reading treveral bills.

of Impeachment waa occupied with the
introduction of documentary evidence,

Mr. Ren fore.

Dkab Bib: 1 do not bdieve In puffing, nor
wonld I indorse a humbug, but I consider it no
more than real Justice to apeak well of Vegetine.
believing it to bo an excellent medicine. 1 have
used several bottles of it to my entire satisfac-
tion and great relief from an inexplicaole Ner
vousness which had caused me great suffering
and s'eepies* nights, have walked the floor and
resorted to different methods lor relief, to no
purpose. I finally thought I would give Vege-
tine a trial, with little faith. I will admit; but to
my surprise and great re'ief, a dew doses con
vinced mo tqat I had got hold of the right thing
for my difficulty. It sent oat hamor from my
blood that, I hare no doubt, was the cause of the
misery I had endured, and 1 found relief as soon
as a medicine could reliero a disease of that kind.
When 1 began its uso 1 seldom got a night's rest
or half a one and my appetite was poor, and as a
consequence! was running down rapidly, but.
after a lew doses I saw a radical change every
way, and am thoroughly satisfied with Vegetine,
ana recommend it to any person suffering as I
did. Respectfully,
mrs j a Johnson.
Female Weakness.—Vegetino acts directly
upon the causes of these complaints. It invig
orates and strengthens the whole system, acts
upon the secretive organs, allays inflammation,
cleanses and cure* ulceration, cure* constipation,
regulates the bowels, headache* and pains m tbo
back cease, in fact there is no disease or com
plaint where the Vegetine give* so quick relief,
and is so effective m ils cure, as in what is term,
ed female weakness. It has never failed ill one
nstance,

I take pleasnro in recommending your Vege*
tine. 1 hare been suffering lor a long time with
tho Lung Disease, trying every kind of medicine
that I could get, but none seemed to do me any
good, until 1 tried yon great Vegetine remedy.
1 had used it only a short time before 1 could
discover a very great change in my health for the
better. 1 don't consider tnat your medicine ha*
its equal, for the disease which you pr.pose to
cure, espedally the disease that 1 have been af
flicted with with. JOHN THOMAS.
