THE SENATE
B et this evening at 3:25 p. m.
The President in tbe Chair.
th. bioh doubt or imj-uciimint
then <m called to order by tbe Chief
Jostioe.
The argument on the part of the de
fence was opened by Gen. Henry K.. Jack-
ten, of Savannah.
Tb c eloquent and venerable gentle
man occupied tbe entire evening session
until bis railing strength compelled him
to yield tbe floor to Capt. Henry Jack-
son, his son, a son worthy of ancb aaire,
It is impossible to give in fall the elo-
qaent and powerful speech of General
Henry Jackson, with tbe limited space
aod time at my oommand, and a brie
synopsis would only mar the beauty o
this truly magnifiosnt effort. Never has
it been tbe fortune of the writer to bear,
within the Senate chamber, each burning
appeal, such terrible invectives, such
touching pathos as fell from the Ups of
this silver haired old man eloquent. If
Kenfroe is eleared it will be through the
feeling engendered by the powerful ap
peals of the two eloquent Jacksons, fa
ther and son, to both of whom ought to
be accorded the meed of true orators.
Atlanta, Got. 1, 1879.
THE SENATE
met this morning at nine a. m.. x'resi
dent Lester in the chair. Prayer by the
Chaplain. The roll was called, the jour
nal was ra id and approved.
TBS BIOH OOP ST 0V IMI'XkCKMKNT
then was called to order by Chief Jastiee
Warner. The minntos were reed, and
Counselor Henry K. Jackson Jr.,
sumed the argument of the cause for the
respondent.
Mr. Jackson said, that ho would re
view tbe line of yesterday’s argument,
which be proceeded to do, showing, that
In spite of the constitutional prohibition
from 1779, to tbe present time, the Leg
islature ban always allowed extra compen
sation to tbe Treasurer from time to
Umf, producing^.asts and resolutions
to show that the compensation of
the Mute House officers have been in
creased from time to daring their
terms of offioe. That tbe Comptroller
General bts received by legislative en
actment from time to time extra fees.
That Jones, tfao former Treasurer, was
allowed'extra pay for negotiating the
Nutting bonds. That the Angler resolu
tion declares that coatom never required
th« Treasurer to pay over these extra fees,
sod that the meaning of the resolution is
to extend its permissive welgnt to the fu
ture as well as the present. That this
resolution was offered end supported by
some of the best men in the Mtate. That
the act prohibiting tbo Treasurer from
retaining the lees of the office refer only
to those acts wbloh he does in the strtot
ezardse of bis official duties, and to ex
tra sou and dntles, although these du
ties may spring ont of his offico. The
oouiuel for the State claim that the act
of 1876 forbids all allowance to the
Treasurer to retain these fees. Why
this set is but the re-enaotment of tbe
law, which has been construed by the
Angler resolution to mean the permission
to retain the soma of money In dispute.
Counselor Jackson then argned that a
simple constitutional provision mast be
ralided by legislative enactment beforo it
can be of foroe, giving as an illustration
tbs law rcgnlating certiorans, and read
ing extracts from the code and Supremo
. Court reports in support of bis position.
1h# new constitution provided for fntnro
legislation on the subject ef the use of
tbe public foods. And here we have at
tbs present time the first enactment on
the subject long after the last reception
of moos; by Kenfroe. Will yon impose
a penalty on this respondent when mere
M no penalty prescribed by law? Will
you make the law retrospective? Now,
if you find that Kenfroe did not know
the lew, yon most find him gailtless for
Itek of intent. We have in this oue
the managers acting as counsel, law
makers and witnesses. Thoy claim that
there hoe been greet irregularity. Now
I challenge (he manager who will con
clude to show any irregularity. They say
they wish to remove Kenfroe. He has
offered to resign. Why did they not re
ceive tnit resignation, and not take all
this lime In argument? Lot them show
where rests the reason for these proceed
ings.
Now we all love our old State. This
defendant stood with you in the hour of
trial. Now will you send him down to
Infamy for these things. I havo violated
law, wtifi— prohibitum. Yon, managers,
have done tbe same thing, and yon. Sen
ators, have also been guilty. It the rales
at technical law be applied to every mis-
oouduet, many a man wonld be in the
Penitentiary, and if a man mu:t be dis
graced for such thipgs when the courts
can make him return all tbe money of
the State he may bavo, then, indeed, will
jlatioe depart from old Georgia.
Gen. Henry K. Jackson, of Savannah,
then continued the argnment for the de
fease. That the backbone and strong
mutdea of his case had been formed for
him by a younger and a stronger man.
Beofroo was surrounded by men who
osght in this investigation to have been
his fncsde; bat who sought to even per
suade him to put him in a compromising
Pomtioo. The counsel then proceeded to
ihecuee, the testimony of Judge Hall
relative to a conversation with Ren
fro* and Murphy, at which time
Mr. Hall exhibited to Kenfroe the
bill which would enforoe the requirements
of the new constitution which forbids all
•akiag of interest or pnblie funds, depofi-
ita in bank*, etc. And that Kenfroe,after
that,refused to do this thing again. That
the testimony : of Hoyt, Patterson, Mur-
Phj, Hall and Kenfroe all go to show that
kenfroe was ignorant of any constitu
te! prohibition on the subject. Igno-
txnoe of law no excuse for crime 1 Why,
gentlemen, there can be no crime where
there is ignorance. The code taya that
crime is composed of act and intent. The
uitasger says it is the law of Rome, of
every civilized nation of the world. It
may have been the law of Borne,of Pinto,
pf Lj curgu*,but it Is the law which sunk
m night the middle ages. Why, if yon
«uiy out this law, you would punish
**rry matiae. I would not punish a dog.
there are exceptions to this law in case*
jj***elee»prokililuB». Where the law is
e'-scure aud tbe Constitution not decided,
lisa ignorazee should excuse. Bntwhen-
tTer a peculiar state exists, then the
qasthonof ignoraaoa ihoald be consid
ered.
Is U lawful for the General Assembly
j® legislate this act into crime and then
?*l«ue j on to punish a man for them?

end he were married by tbe father of this
lady. If to endeavor to get a position
for this friend of his daughter’s husband
is a sin then the recording angel dropped
a t.-sr on it to blot it oat after he had
written it.

dent. They say that be has grown riob

What do they mean when they say that
he has grown rich by stealing tbe money

for almost half a centnry? Will we for

been rocked near tbs ground? We ask
no mercy of you. If yon disagree wo
oan go again to tbe woods, look into the
stars and pray to God.
General Jackson then proceeded to
show that the report that Kenfroe had
been enriched by his offioe was unfoun
ded, and gave a short synopsis of his life
and property.
At this point the court adjourned nntil
8:30 p. m., and the Senate till 3:25 p. m.

extending over the greater part of my body,
have taken gallons ot meoicines for the blood _.

LEPROSY,
A MODERN MIRACLE. ASTONISHING RE
8ULT4 PROM THE USE OP CUTICURA.
Messes Weeks & Potteb—Gentlemen: We
have a case of Leprosy In our poorliouse which is
being cured by Cuticura remedies. The county
lmd employed all of our doctors and had sent to
New York lor advice, but to no avail.
The patient commenced using tho Cuticura
and immediately began getting better.
He had been confined to h s bed for two and
one half years. He had not had his slotba on
duringthis time. Last week he dressed (or the
first time.
When he walked there would at least one
quart of scales come off o' him.
This happened every day.
We think it is a wonderful euro.
We do not say he is cured, hut he is in a fair
way to be cured to say the least.
