against Washington L. Goldsmith]
Comptroller-Genera!.
We refrain from expressing any
opinion as to the guilt or innocence
of Mr. Goldsmith, or any other dll
■eer whose wrings nnd doings are
being invesgtiated. The Legislature
of Georgia is composed very largely
of good and true Democrats who will
eee that the State is protected in its
rights, white giving to the accused
the fairest trial.
White on this ftuhj ct, we simply
remarV in passing, tlrat it appears
to us to be the extreme of unfair
ness, meanness would be a belter
name, in a few papers and individu
als to saddle all the corruption and
misdeeds of all the officers in the
State, on Gov Colquitt and the Dem
ocratic party. Gov. Colquitt has
nothing to do with their sins, if
they are guilty, and ail organized
Democratic Legislature is investiga
ting their acts.

We notice with pride, the steps
being taken in Georgia for the sup

General John B. Hood. The At

the first paper in the State, to call
attention to thiB matter of pleasure,

Ed. Advertiser: Since writing
to you I have crossed this State from
south to north. Am now prepared
to make amends for much of my
pre-conceived opinions of the future
prospects of the State as well 83 the
enterprise of its citizens.
On my way to this place I passed
over a large extent of table land,
well cultivated and improved. Good
farm houses, barns, etc., together
with some show of enterprise and
almost unanimous vote of the court, | recent improvent. At some points
and since this action, the universal the scenery surpassed anything in
opinion here is that all the chances | grandeur and snldimity I have tvt
are in f»vor of conviction, in fact it ~ '
is generally believed that there is
no escape from conviction. The
preliminaries having been settled,
the trial of the case upon its merits
will begin to day. Since the begin
ning of the trial the Senate has held,
and will throughout its progress, I
suppose, continue to hold short ses
sions each day for the transaction of
legislative business, and has thus far
kept nearly np with the business
before it.
There has been, for several weeks,
a feeling of uneasiness among the
members of the legislature because
of the protracted session, dreading,
of course, the verdict of the sover -
ings at home, but they are beginning
to throw off such feelings and to
boldly face the inevitable. Many
of them, however, I suspect, are
preparing to excuse themselves, and
if, on return home, they meet an
enraged constituency to tell them as
did McBeth the ghost of Banqus,
“Shake not your goary locks at me
—I did not do it.” As for myself,
so long as there is any crockedness
in tne actings and doings of the
State house official left unfathemed,
I shall vote to examine into, if pos
sible to correct it and to punish any

The Penitentiary Committee.
Atlanta, September 3.—One by
one, thecommittee8 to investigate the
various State officials, are closing
their labors, and within the next two j gj ve impeachment trials in cases of
weeks, all of their reports will in all , , r .a-
probability, be made.
The committee to investigate tbe
principal xeeper of the penitentiary,
will make their report to-day. They
have concluded their labors, and or
dered the evidence in the hands of
the printer to be published. Their
verdict has been kept sacred, so I
can’t say what it will be. I learn,
however, that there will be a majori
ty and minority report, the majority
report requiring the Governor to re
move him, and the other exonerat
ing him.
The committee to investigate the
Treasury Department, it is thought,
will report the latter part ot next
week. It was thought they had clos
ed the testimony, but last night the
committe was engaged in taking ad
ditional testimony, which delays the
report a day or two. It is generally
thought that the committee will ask
the Legislature to vacate his office
and order a new election, thus sav
ing the expense of an impeachment
triaL .
The impeachment trial drags its
weary length along, the most ol yes
terday and to-day being consumed
by couucil in arguing tbe question ot
jurisdiction. Counsel on both sides
hotly contesting every inch ot
.ground.

Harried on a Log.

malpractice by any of the officers of
the State house except the Governor.
The special committees appointed
to investigate the treasurer and
principal keeper of the penitentiary
have not yet brought in their re
ports, but will probably do so to-day
or to-morrow. I can give you no
reliable information as to what facts
their reports will bring out or what
action the House will take upon it.
There are quite a number and
variety of rumors afloat here, but
not knowing whether they are true
or false, it is useless and might be
unjust to give them currency. How
ever, the treasurer’s own statement
shows that he has acted in violation
of a plain provision of the constitu
tion, in receiving and appropriating
to his own use interest on State
funds which he had deposited iu
bank.
The question of the legality of
the State’s endorsement of the North
eastern railroad bonds will come be
fore the House in a few days. A
bill declaring the endorsement null
and void was before the judiciary
committee one day last week and
was returned to the House with the
recommendation that it do pass, a
considerable majority of the com
mittee favoring its passage. The
discussion of this bill will again
bring the conduct of the Governor
in endorsing these bonds promini nt-
ly befbre the public. The subject
so far has elicited but little discus
sion among the representatives, ex
cept in the committee room of the
judiciary committee, and I cannot
tell what lute the bill will meet with
in the House.
The debate on the bill regnlating
the freight and passenger tarriffs of
railroads was closed on last Satur
day and a vote taken resulting in
the passage of the bill by the bare
constitutional majority of eighty-
eight votes. This question is a most
difficult and delicate one and the bill
which was passed, although so care
fully and maturely considered both
in a committee of able men and in
ihe House, will doubtless be found,
when put in execution, to contain
many imperiiotions and omissions.
It mast be left to future legislatures
to perfect it. This is a pet scheme
of B-b Toombs, and ior several
beheld. The Pilot Mountain, which
rises 4,000 feet above tbe level of the
sea, and capped by a perpendicular
wall of solid granite 280 feet in
height, of circular bags; the wull
being bare of vegetation, but the sum
mit or pinnacles thickly set with
fprest timbers, whose loliage is of a
deep g ceil color, presenting to the
eye of the beholder a white belt or
ring of 280 feet in bight, which sep
arates the green of this pinnacle
from that of the stupendous moun
tain below. At a distance of two
miles I beheld this awfully sublime
and wsnderfnl production of nature,
whose very grandeur was a scares of
wonder and astonishment, nud led
me to reflect, what of man ? A mere
speck in ereatioa.
Passing Pilot Monntain I was at
once surrounded by Sanra Town
Mountain and its associates, the
Blue Ridge presenting its dark out
lines beyond and in the distance.
Arriving at this place after receiving
many jolts and bumps, I found a
pleasant hotel, kept by my hostess,
Mrs. Rawley, where I was regaled by
a good meal and a comfortable bed,
so Richard is himself again. Hav
ing heard of another freak of nature,
known here as the Flat Rock,* in
company with Mr. Peter Wilson,
collector of revenue, and Mr. W. T.
Gillett, of Ntwbern, of this State,

much faithful walking, being led by
Wilson as pilot, whe became bewil
dered and finally lost his way rlto
gether ; but fortunately we met a
map whilst going directly away from

led the wuy to the object of onr
search. Upon arriving at the spot
we foaud a solid mass of granite
without seam or crevis, except near
the outer edges, covering a space
containing hundreds of acres, from
forty to one buudred acres being
entirely free of earth or vegetation ;
but occasionally enough soil has col
lected to produce the cactus of dwarf
growth, in some instances scrubby
timbers. The citizens of this place
claim that it is the largest solid rock
known on earth. Enclosed you will

to be found in this vicinity.
There is a qm rry of flexible sand
stone, ns well as asbestos, neither of
which have I yet seen. But there
is a mineral spring known as the
White Sulphur which furnishes an
abundant supply of water of a qual
ity superior to any I have befote
tasted, being n markable for its low
temperatures, and fiee from all min
eral influence except sulphur. It is
surrounded by a mountain scenery
too beautiful and grand to be de

curative qualities.
Mount Airy has a population of
about 500. One tobacco warehouse,
three large tobacco factories in oper

hydraulic pumps or presses. Here,
to mv astonishment, is a factory for
the manufacture of organs of differ-
ret sizes and quality. This is to me
an interesting country. The people
bring alive to enterprise. They are
upon the point of commencing a
railroad from Winston or Salem,
which is all the same, being separa
ted only by a public road, a distance
of forty miles.
This, uulike the eastern portion
of the State, is a healthy, robust
people, alive to the commonest inter
est ; possessing great hospitality and
politeness. Enjoyment is dished out
to strangers unsparingly. The river
Ararat washes the bass of the moun
tain upon which Mt. Airy is situated,
furnishing controlable water suffi
cient for any amount of machinery
this country may require for years
to come.

Governor Colquitt and the Maine Letter.
We had thought that the ingenui
ty of Governor Colquitt’s opponetfla
hud exhausted itself. Bnt it Beems
that it has gone to further lenghts
than we had thought possible. And
the latest instance is probably (he
most absured ol them all.
Some days ago, Governor Garcelon,
who is the democratic candidate for
governor in Maine, wrote Governor
Colquitt a letter. In that letter he
seated it was being charged nil over
the State by the republicans that
men had been killed in Georgia fcr
no other cause than that they were
Methodists—that the slanders of cer
tain reverend gentlemen concerning
this State were being industriously
used on the stump, to the injury of
the democatic canvass. Having a
personal acquaintance with Gover
nor Colquitt, and recognizing his
high ehacter and the weight that bis
word would have in the canvass, Gov
ernor Garcelon wrote to him asking
that, asg 'Vernorof the State of Uiyr-
gia, lie officially denyNhes* rfBnuWs.
In reply Governor Colquitt wrote a
dignified, manly, and el quint letter,
tearing the slander to shreds and
showing that it was utterly Mid
meanly false. Governor Garctlon
and tho democratic speakers used
this letter on the stump The ptess
published it far and wide. An4 it
lias had a most happy effect, not duly
in clearing our Stale of a slanderous
stain, but in helping the brave snd
struggling democrats of Maine. ,
The Columbus Times object* to
the action of Governor Colqnitt in
the premises, and its objection bus
been echoed by another paper- iu
south Georgia. The Times thiols it
was a disparagement of the tov-
ernor’s dignity to write this tetter,
and that its writing reflects Mne-
wliat upon the State. No objection
is urged to the letter itself, its' ex
pression and sentiment liaTe won un
qualified commendation, and the tet
ter is confessed as admirable oif all
sides. The objection is to the *rit-
inging of the letter. We must con
fess that we can see
ground for criticism here. Co
official courtesy required Go'
Colquitt to answer Governer i
Ion’s let e-. In answering it hi
obliged to tell tiie truth und to
plainly. As a dem 'Crat—as a
ern man—as a Georgian—as
trusted with Georgia’s honor-
his duty to write the letter.
The trnth is, the governor skonhl
be thanked in the heartiest terms for
this letter. It is one of which Yvery
Georgian should be prond. It ae*ds
no defei.se at onr hands, and Ye al
lude to it simply to show the absur
dity and emptiness of the camterthat
are being urged against goveriMteGol-
qnitt. This is a sample of then all.

BALD
HEAD’S
FRIEND.
A WONDERFUL DISCOVERY I
CARBOLINEI
A Deodorized extract of Petroleum,
The Only Article that Will Re
store Hair on Bald Heads.
What the World has been
Wanting for Centuries.
P
The greatest discovery of onr day, so far as ft
large portion mt humanity in concerned, in CARr
BO LINK, an article prepared from petrolenm, md
which effect* a eomplefu and radical cure in case of
baldness, or where the hair, owing to disease* of
the scalp, ha* become thin and tend* to fall oat.
It is also a speedy restorative, and while It* use *e-
•nrce a luxuriant growth of hair, it also bring* back
the natural color, and give* the most complete sat
isfaction to the using. The falling ont of the hair,
the accumulations of dandruff, and the premature
change hi color are all evidence* of a diseased con
dition of the scalp and the glands which nourish tho
hair. To arrest these cause* the article wed must
pnnsrs* medical as well a* chemical virtues, and the
eh/nge most begin under tbe scalp to be of perma
nent and lasting benefit. Such an article is CARr
BO LINE, and, like many other wonderful discov
eries, it ie found to consist of elements almost 1ft
tbeir natural state. Fetrolenm oil is the article
which 1* made to work such extraordinary result* ;
but it U after it bn* been chemically treated and
completely deodorized that it is In proper condition
for the tollor. It was In far-off Russia that the
effect of petroleum npon tho hair was first observed,
a Government officer haring noticed that a partially
bald-headed servant of his. when trimming tho
lamp*, had a habit of wiping his oil-bcemeared
hand* iu hi* scanty locks, and the result was in ft
few months a much finer bead of black, gloesy hair
than be ever had before. The ell was tried on
horn** *"*1 cattle that had lost their hair from tho
cattle plague, aud tho results were a* rapid a* they
were marvelous. The mane* and even the fails of
horses, which had fallen out, were completely re
stored fa* a fow week*. These experiments were
heralded to the world, but the knowledge was prac
tically taUw to the punwAvtly bold and gray, a*
do one la civilized society cooid tolerate the nse of
refined pofroWnm as* a dressing for the hair. But tho
skill of on* of onr chemists has overcome the diffi
culty, and by a process known only to bhnseJf, ho
hoi, after very elaborate ami costly experiments, suc-
tMTuVid lu dcotlnrlzitu nr fined potr4enm. which
tenders It ■oeceptibie of being handled as daintily
aa the famous<U cc*v/»m. The • xporhnent* with
the deodorized liquid on tbe Unman bait were, at
tended with the mod astonishing rwalts.C V few
applications, wh *to the hair was thin and falling
gave romorkabU* tone %nd vigor to the scalp and
hair. Every pnrticle of dandruff disappears on
the first or second dressing, and the liquid so fieiurb-
ing in its nature, seems to p.-netrtc to the roots at
once, and sc? op a rad’caluhango from the start. It
i* well known that the most beautiful colors an?
made from petroleum, and, by some mysterious
operation of natnre, the use of this article gradu
ally imports a beautiful light-brown color to the
hair which by continued use, deepens to a black.
The color remains permanent for an indeflnisr leugth
of time, and the change is so gradual that tbe Btost
mthnato friends can scarcely detect it* progress.
In ft word, it is the most wonderful discovery of
the age, and well calculated to make the prema
turely bald and gray rejoice.
We advise onr readers to give it a trial, f.-clln^
satisfied that one application will convince them of
it* wonderful effect*.—PUUburgk Commercial qf
