IIOW ABOUT THIS?
General Gordon stated most posts
ively that bis financial condition and
he necessities of his new position n:
attorney of the Louisville and Nash'
viilo Kail road were such ns to compel
him u. resign his position as United
■SLate-i nator at once, and yet it
■•ems that his whole time since that
i nportnnl event has been given to an
elive can.mss in behalf of the re-lec-
ion of hi- friend Governor Colquitt.
Now this «eems a little stiange to the
people of Georgia, who think General
t iordon should at least try and pre
orve a little more consistency be
tween his statements and- his actions.
SELL TIIK STATE HOAD.
If wt.ni “ Hatnilcar” says in his
■•ommuniention in this issue be true,
and it nil seems a very plausible ver
sion of the recent political movements
in Georgia, then by all means, let the
next legislature pasa an act authori-
v.iiig the side of the Western and Ats
antic railroad. This road has been a
source of great trouble in Georgia,
and should r.ot be permitted to be the
medium of further trouble in our
State polities. Now is a good time
to sell it, as its condition is good, its
stock valuable, auil the road in ac
tive demand with the railroad combi
nalionisls and monopolists. By all
means let it be sold.

There is a law in Georgia provid
ing that when the office of Governor
is made vacant front death, resigna
tion or other cause, that the Piesident
of the Snimte shall act as Governor
protein, until a successor is elected by
the people. Now, as Governor Col*
guilt lias vacated the Gubernatorial
Chair, to make a tour of the State in
explinatioii of the blunders of his ad
ministration, and canvassing for bis
re-election, and as Hon. Rufus E.
Lester, the President of the Senate
bus very properly and very modestly
declined to canvass the State in the
interest of his nomination for tbeGor-
ernorship, would it not be well to
request him to proceed to Atlanta and
take charge of the affairs ol State
until Governor Colquitt finishes bis
electioneering canvass and explanato
ry lour throughout the State ? If in
order we respectfully submit the
proposition to the honest voters and
int.-rested tax-payers of Georgia.

The Albany Evening Advertiser in
commenting upon Governor Colquitt’s
speech made in that town, says :
“According to the argument' used
by Governor Colquitt tn bis Albany
speech, if the people do not send Joe
Brown back to the Senate, the North
will point the finger ot scorn at them
and cry oat ‘treason, treason—rebell
ion in Georgia!—disloyal to the Un
ion !!’ etc."
Now, Democrats of Georgia, it is a
fact well known to every one at all
familiar with the circumstances, that
Governor Cjlqnitt and his Damon,
General Gordon have as little use for
ex Governor Joseph E. Brown as the
Devil has for Holy Water. Then it
must have been very peculiar circum
stances which would have induced the
Governor to ignore his prejudices
against Governor Brown; utterly
disregard the Democracy of the Slate
which had made him Governor, and
actually turn his back upon those true
and prominent men of Georgia, who
had stood by him in adversity as well
as prosperi y to take to liis bosom
aud nurse iulo political lifo and prom,
inence, one who, from the record, and
the oft expressed opinions of Governor
Colquitt and General Got don must be
to them the most distasteful man
all Georgia. This net is of itself
enough to disgust, outrage aud destroy
all confidence on the part of the pco-
pie in any such Governor. For when
a man is unmindful, forgetful and
untrue to his best and irusst friends,
bow can be be expected to prove true
and loyal to the people be presumes
to represent? But then, wlist is worse
than all of this Governor Colquitt now
comes forward in the attitude of
regular bulldozer. »nd says in eflect
to the people of Georgia, it makes no
difference whether you like my ap
pointment of Governor Brown or not,
you must see to it that he is endorsed
and elected by tbe next Legislature,
if not then you have put yourselv
where our Northern enemies will
charge you with being guilty of trea
sun, ot being retiellious, and disloyal
to the Union. In the name of cam
mon justice, was high-lianded bull,
dozing ever before so bold, ever be
fore so offensive to an honest people
who believe they have a right to judge
and act’ for themselves. It matters
aot whether Governor Brown’s ap
pointment be acceptable or not to the
people, they roust endorse him, or be
charged by the Goveruor makiug the
appointment, with being guilty of that
which will bring the charge of high
crime upon our commonwealth. Tbe
people of Georgia have had to submit
to a great dual that was unjust and
oppressive, but we do not believe that
they are so far lost to all aelf-respect
and independence, as to submit to
being bulldozed and bull-ragged in
any such manner as is now being at-
ttmpted by their Chief Magistrate
and their ex-Uuited States Senator.
If Governor Colquitt and General
Gordon think they can succeed in do
ing just as they please, irrespective
the rights and wishes of tbs people,
and then coeroe them into acceptance
ann acquiesence by blaziug the high
way of their selfish and arbitrary pro
cedures with their war records, their
purity aud incorrnptihleness of char
acter, they will find that they have
greatly under-rated the retributive
justice which yet survives in the hearts
and determinations of the honest peo
ple of old Georgia.
