Governor Smith treasury because tln-re was no law requiring him to do it, ami that as it was not in tbe treasury when lie paid tbe I in paying it without an appropriation by law for the payment and without an executive warrant; and that he paid the lawyers first because the law gave them a lien upon the money col lected until their fees were paid. The Governor’s position as to the lien would be correct if the lawyers had had the money in their own hands. Jlad that been the case they could, of course, have retained what ever fee they were entitled to hy the contract. But we have tho Govern or’s own statement that he himself collected and had in his own posses sion the whole $198,000 which Mr. Norwood says it was his duty la have turned into the State’s treasury, ami to have drawn therefrom, by execu- warmnt, whatever amount was due any person for any service. It will be observed that the issue, on the second charge, bet wen the Governor and M r - Norwood, is one ol law. But just here a third party steps into the controversy,—one who is really more familiar wi’li the facts ol the whole transaction, from begin ning to end, than anybody else, and raises an i-suc of fact with tbe Gov ernor. This third party is no less a per; onage than ex-Governor Smi-.h, Governor Colquitt’s immediate pre decessor, with whom the attorneys made the contract about their fee. As Governor Smith is so very luute- rial a witness, and such high authori ty in the care, we havo published elsewhere what he has to ssy about this lie anil tho manner ol its pay ment. lie corrofiorates Mr. Nor wood’s statement that Messrs Baugh and Garlington were the first lawyers engaged in prosecuting the claim,and that the contract with them was that they should have a cash advance of 88,000 and 121 per cent, of the amount they might recover# and that afterwards, when Alston and othe«f became associated with Baugh and Garlington in prosecuting tbe claim the‘contract_was changed so as to read that “in no event should the compensation of the ageitis exceed 25 per cent, of the amount collected.” The careful reader, who is desirous of learning the truth of,this whole mat ter, will note that’ Governor Smith says that it was not his. understand ing that tk« compensation should be, in anf event, 25 per cent., but it was that in no event should it exceed (hat pans states most positively that not one cent of tbe proceeds of that draft ever went to the hands of any agent who collected or pretended to collect the claim, and that the extravagant lawyers’ lee teas paid with money tak en by the governor, without appro priation and without warrant, out of the treasury of Georgia. Here is a direct issue that Gover nor Colquitt and l.is partisans cannot whistle ofl’ nor put aside with a jeer. It is ’ too prave charge, and too susceptible of proof or disproof, lor them to attempt to get rid of it i»y giving extracts from Mr. Norwood’s civil rights and Ox ford t-peccht s, or l>y repeating that he voted for the salary grab that General Gordon advised him to vote for, or by shouting of the “hero of Olustce,” or by pioclaiming that the Governor “floats the Banner ot the King ol Kings.” The people’s hard- earned money has been loosely han dled and trifled w th, and they have people generally as lo whitkar they were for or against Colquitt or Brown, lienee the ccnipkxion and action of the convention on that question should not lie accepted as a reflex of the will of the people, and hence Mr. McDaniel, when n-ked to accent a nomination made by ten nun on an is-ue upon which the will of the people has not ascertained nor consulted, should promptly and firmly say— “nay.” lie should say—“I cannot accept a nomination made under such citcum* stances. My re-pect for the penp’e I am asked to represent—my alb- gianee to democratic principles—my character and the honorable reputa tion I have striven for and won, for bid that I should accept this nominr- tion. Go hack to the peip'e with this question.

When not h e got off the train, there was no one “bend tho pregnant lunges uf the knee, that thrift might follow fawus ; ing.” He loved his homo, his wile aud children and the swees of private life far above any mere human aspi ration beyond it. He was modest as a maiden, nnd tender-hearted as a child. Noble, direct, generous, for giving, sensitire, kind, sympathetic and religious, all that knew i|iu> here will ever hold ltis memory in affec tionate remembrance. In the humble hut honorable and respoLsiblo position ol Judge of the Superior Court he died. His death comes touchingly home lo us. An other of our great men has passed into eternity. We shall miss his cheerful and melodious voice, and the kindly pressure of his hand, for he was indeed the soul of honor and truth, and tho polished aj>ex of Geor gia’s intellectual pyramid.” to meet him as a distinguished stran ger, no one to toll hi iv whore to go, no one lo lake him in and give him meat and drink. Presently he found shelter in the house of one of his col on d Iriemb, and, after refreshments, set out to hunt up the republican nominee in that county, for the legis lature, to complain of his treatment, and to make arrangements' for the meeting to be held at night. He found hi* man, ami was not welcomed" with open arms to Hoosicr hospitality. The republican nominee told him that “no d d nigger” was wauled there, and that he had better gel back home as soon as }>osgiblu if he knew, what was good for him. Williams did.not go out and hang himself, but he went home sorrowing. ThkATi.ical busincs.4 throughput tho country show* signs of revival.
