But that will never be known. Those legislators are fierce investigators — of everybody but themselves. There js some consola tion, however, in knowing that they do not hesitate to investigate other piople. We are gratified to learn that Gov.

Jares S. Billings, M. D., •V. Pkbsidbnt N. B. II, Washington, D. C. iDsarSir: Your communication rtf> the 11th inst. to the Postmaster at Cedartowu was sent to me, request ing a reply to the same, setting forth the facts in regard to a publication in the Atlanta Cons'itution of the 7th inst, in relation to the fever that has prevaild and is -prevailing in the counties of Polk, P. aiding and Har alson. I am happy to state that ihe whole picture is .monstrously over drawn. I will, in as brief manner as I can, give you a history of the facts in regard to the fever, which has been so much exaggerated and of which so many wild and sensational stories have been told. It is nothing more nor less than Typho-malarial fever with all its leading, prominent symp toms fully developed as described by Prof. Flicfcand-other leading authors and as observed myself in fo' mer fears. The first cases occured in the Utter part June, about the time of some of our hottest weather, the temperature running very high, more so than nsnal in onr mountain ous and salubrious conn-try, the heat rauguig 95 to 100 degress Far. I had the first case of the fever that oc» cured in this connty to the best of my knowledge and diagnosed and pronounced it to be Typho marariul f*rer. In a short time I had two other cases of the same character and in all I had ten cases in an area of abont six miies, fivj of the cases oc coring in this town and the others m the conntry. Some of the cases prov ed fatal, four of the cases died in this town. One recovered. Two of the cases in this place ralapsed after the fever had run its coarse and after co- val.-scence had commenced, one also in the country. I think they would havego:|well with good nursin’. I have on hand two cases of the lever in the coontry. There is none in the town at this time, and but little sickness of any kind. The cases are confined mostly to yonng persona from eight to twentyiyears of age, attacking alike both male and female. It is as usual a slow fever and takes it from two to four weeks to run its course. The disease seems to be abating as I know of but two cases in our vicinity, and one said to be iu Paulding county. The cases that now occur are of much milder typ- and more manag.able, and hope the disease may entirely disappear though we may have cases to eontinne to occur a good part of the winter. The most o! the first cases were of *eyere or violent typho and resisted tfe* best treatment, and I think wQijld have died under any course ol treatment known to the profession. In some of the cases I had in consultation some of the best physicians in our section of country who fully agreed with me in regard to the nature of the fever anti its treatment. la regard to Paulding re pnri with typhoid fever was sick hut eight or nine days and am informed by re liable parties who live in his neigh borhood ai d saw him during his ill- n»=«, that his disease was of the char acter of Pneumonia, and that there was no oozing of blood from his ears and month before his death, as repor ted in the communication in the At lanta Constitution, The excitement arose in the first place from the first cases of this fe ver proving fatal, which caused the must wild and unreasonable reports to lie scattered through the country, some asserting the disease contagious and as mnch to he dreaded as Yellow feyer, and the reports grew worse the farthtr they went, until it was re- por ed that we were having at the rate of ten or fifteen deaths a day and that I was down with the fever and likely to die and not only so bnt was really reported as dead. I inertly state these facts to show how reliable or what these flying re ports are worth. If there is any thing or feature in the disease that is peculiar or different from the fever that we have had in former years, I have not detected it, and I nave been treating the same disease for twenty-five years or more at dif ferent periods, and I think I under stand it as fully as I do any other fever. We had the same fever in 1861 and 1862. It prevailed in the epidemic form and mnch more ex tensively than this fever has so far. In some localities hardly a house es caping. We have had since that time sporadic cases at different times of the same character. In 1877 and 1878 I had several cases in different localities in this connty; the most of the cases recovered. Bnt this sea son it comes in the form of a regu lar epidemic, as I hear ol it prevail ing in all the surronndiug counties iu different parts of the State, and in most of the cities of the State, and also in other States. I must say that the health of our town and surrounding country has been very good except what cases of typho-malarial fever we have had, and in proportion to the number of population onr mortuary is quite small, and will compare favorably with that of any other section or State in the Union. So far you can j idge of the facts and the truth in regard to the above disease. The description as published in the At lanta Constitution makes it as terri* ble as the plague or spotted typhns fever, and which is calculated to ' deceive, mislead and injure not only our people, but others who may be disposed to visit our section or town. Hoping the above may be satisfac tory and that I have not been too tedious, I am, very respectfully, S. B. Pearce, M. D. P. S.—Since writing the above communication I have met with Dr. I. C. Sims, of Stilesboro, who has CAPITOL CORIiESPOJiDEXCfi. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 23,1879. Dear Doctor: You might at tend for weeks upon the sessions of the present General Assembly and you would not hear uttered the words retrenchment or reform. Yet this Legislature, in good faith and with a 7.eal and energy unsurpassed, is endeavoring to give a meaning and a practical effect to the cry for “re trenchment and reform,” which has so long been upon the lips of every citizen and which has heretofore been meaningless, an empty sound, seem ingly fit only to ronnd the periods of the mouthing demagogues. .If it be true, as charged in your editorial of last week that we are “running investigation mad,” it is surely “lean ing to virtue’s side” and the people are hound to sustain ns, unless they prefer the shadow to the substance and fair words to actual work. For the work which we have commenced The precedent which Mr. Renfro* offers tn justification qf his conduct was, I think, the strongest argument against the policy of accepting his proposition, for had the Legislature of 1871 donejita’duty in the At.gier case, Mr. Renfroe would have heeded the warning and avoided the rock on which he has split. Mr. Renfroe went into office at a time and nnder circumstances which ought to have taught him to conform strictly to the letter and spirit of the laws which control and regulate the pow ers and duties of a State Treasurer, and his actions are clear and con vincing proofs that, in this day and time, nothing short of the ettremest penalty of the law will deter the public officers from violating their trusts and keep corruption without the portals of the State house. There was one fact outside of Mr. Renfroe's own misdoings which crea ted against him, and justly too, a vast deal of prejudice. His clerk, Nortk Carolina Conespoadeuft. Mt. Airy, Scrby County, N.

The conduct of the Treasurer underwent a cool and dis passionate consideration in the House.

Mia Nellie Baker, of Selma, re turned home yesterday, after spend ing the summer iu our village. Mrs. Adkinson and family of Montgomery, Ala, returned home to day. They have spent the summer in our village and will return next spring. Mr. Brown and family also re turned home to-day ; they are also from Montgomery, Ala. Mr. P. Powers, of Newnan, is here on a short visit. Our City fathers have not yet pre pared any bitching posts. I think they ought to hire a few boys to stand on the street to hold horses. The merchants have to leave their houses to hold horses, 'and conse quently lose considerable custom. Miss J. Ellis is spending the week with Miss Nellie Dickerson. We had a nice party at Judge Da vis last week and a dance at Mr. Car- rolls last night Several young men from Rome spent Sunday here; they left in the evening with smiles. Our town is quite lively, while some are leaving others are coining. Miss Eva Glenn is here spending some time with her relatives and: friends.

Once A. Week. Oar New om ptroller. Mr. William A. Wright has been appointed Comptroller-General by the Governor to fill the unexpired term. Mr. Wright is well qualified for the position, and the appointment meets with almost nniversal appro bation. He is thoroughly conversant with the duties of the position, and will make a good and faithful officer. Mr. Wright is a brother of Hon. H. Gregg Wright, editor of the Augusta Chronicle and Constitutionalist.— Vi.'/jtUc/t. committee could easily obtain them from sources other than his own tes timony. He was not as open and straightforward in this statement as he might have been, underrating his receipts of commissions from the banks by something over six thou- sand dollars, and although he did not keep any account, this could not have been an honest mistake. His plea of ignorance of the law and the underground manner in which these commissions were paid to and received by him are plain contradictions, and have in them th< unmistakable air of bad faith and are convincing evidence of an inten tion to evade the law. He specn lated in the funds of the State, not boldly and above board, but secretly and indirt ctly, in violation 6f the letter and spirit of a constitutional provision as plain, simple and une quivocal as the language could make it; a provision which he must have known and understood as accurately as the ablest lawyer within the limits of the State. The language o' the constitution is that, “The Treasurer shall not be allowed, directly or in directly, to receive any luud, in'er- est or rewards from any person, bank or corporation, for the deposit or use, in any manner, of the public funds.” Is there a sane man, who speaks the English tongue, be he learned or unlearned, who could mistake or misconstrue this language ? My conclusion, and the conclusion of every unbiased mind, was that the plea was false in fact and an aggra vation of the crime. When, through the medium ol an investigating oom- mittee, his repealed violation of this law is made known, the proposition which he makes to the Legislature is a superb exhibition of what, in slang phrase, would be termed “cheek.” When boiled down it is simply this, “I have prostituted my high office to the purposes of pri vate gain, rot expecting my acts to be unearthed and called in question, but since I have been detected and there is no escape from punishment, I am ready to pay into the treasury a part, not the whole, of the money which l have illegally received, re sign my office and go hence without a day.” To have accepted snch a proposition would have been placing a most enticing example before the future incumbents of the treasury department, and would have been a precedent which the present Leg islature, in justice to themselves and to the country, could not well afford, to establish. and smiling, carrying with him a princely fortune which he has amassedj within the short space of three years. It cannot be that the Treasurer is ignorant of the means by which’ thiB fortune was accumu lated, however much igsoranue he may lay claim to. Soma of the means employed by Mr. Murphy are known beyond the inner circle of his friends and associates, but how many of his sharp tricks aid devices are hidden from the public will per haps neyer be known In the debate on the report of the committee appointed to investi gate the principal keeper of the Pen itentiary, Col. Luffman, of Murray, said that “Nelms was • coon of the Governor’s own catching, and let him skin him as he pleases”—he being the Governor’s appointee. The Honse, after extended debate, it seems, reached this conclusion and referred the whole mattci^together with the evidence taken before the committee, to the Governor. This throws the responsibility, one which he certainly did not coart, npon the Governor of determining the charges preferred against Nelms, the law vesting in him the power to remove. The evidence shows.some illegal and high-handed acts on the part of Nelms, and shows also his utter in competency. I cannot conjecture what action the Governor will take. In this connection an attempt was made to hold the Governor responsi ble for the illegal conduct of the principal keeper, the charge being that he had ratified some of the ille gal acts and therefore ought to re ceive the censure which was aisled at the subordinate.

Spec ulation was*rife upon the final re sult of this step and many looked for the morrow to bring about a di rect collision between the Home and the Chief Executive. The resolu tion received a very small vote, but □o one can toll whether tbe storm has yet blown over and being “no prophet nor the son -of a prophet,” and knowing soweW^the temper of the Legislature, I would not be as tounded if it did at last [bnritjupen the head of the Chief Magistrate. You would be for calling that “run ning investigation mad,” would,'you not ? This letter is already'too lengthy to allow me to give any aocount of the effect produced byjjthe con viction and crushing -sentence upon Goldsmith. It threw a gloom over the city which no death, perhaps, would have created, and which fonnd its way into every crook and corner, into the lightest, most nufeeSisg heart, and none seemed more affected than the Senators who voted fur the conviction and sentence. The Legislature is moving rapidly along with its regnlar business. C. G. J. CsttWB.

Their wives became ememies, thus a necessity was created for another house. Very soon another good farm honse was erected on the other plantation, which was contiguous to the one upon which the first man sion was bnilt. By mutual consent a certain number of days was spent in the midst of each family. When those days expired to a minnte they would start for the other residence; neither affection or business detained them—to the other they would go, without let or hindrance. One be- ing a man of sterling worth, sober, prudent aud industrious; the other disposed to be ill and inclined to drunkenness; they would frequent ly quarrel and sometimes fight, drawing deadly weapons. Their neighbors wonld be called npon to settle difficulties between them. Still success attended their efforts, leaving a handsome fortune to each family at their death. Without the know ledge of the first one being sick, who died in the night, the survivor as certaining his brother was "dead, became much alarmed and survived his brother only about three hours, thus ended the Siamese twin3—leav ing an intelligent, well educated, and prosper family of fourteen chil dren, two of whom, a son und daugh ter, are mutes; the danghteris mar ried to a mute of note and character —a Mr. Haynes, professor of a lite rary institute at Raleigh.

This country abounds in minerals and mineral waters. The most no ted of the minerals ure gold, copper, asbestos, ’corundum, granites and fl- xible sand stone. Specimens of some of which I have procured and will forward to you by first oppor • unity. The White Sulphur spring, situa ted about four miles from this place, in a gorge or cove of a spur of the Blue ridge, has great local reputa tion for curative qualities, relieving dyspepsia or indigestion and is cold and pure.

To arrest these causes the article used must possess medical a* well as chemical virtues, and thor change must begin nnder the tenhp to be of perma nent and lasting benefit. Such an articlo is CAR- BOLIN5, and, like many other wonderful discov eries, it Is found to consist of elements almost in their natural state. Petroleum oil is the articlo which is made to work such extraordinary results; hut ft is after It hns been chemically treated cod completely deodorized that it is in proper condition for the toilet. It was in far-off Russia that the I effect of petroleum upon Hie hair was first dhserved, a Government officer having noticed that a partially I bald-headed servant of his, when trimming the lamps, had a habit ef wiping hie oil-besmeared hands in his scanty locks, and the result was in a few months a mnch finer bead of black, glossy hair than he ever had before. The oil was tried on. horses and cattle that had lost their hair from the cattle plague, and the remits were as rapid as they were marvelous. The manes and even the tails off borsee, which had fallen out, were completely re stored in a few weeks. These experiments were heralded to the world, bat tho knowledge was prac tically useless to the prematurely bald and gray, aa - no one in etrlHzed society could tolerate the nee of refined petroleum as a dressing fee the hair. Bnt the skill of one of onr chemist# has overcome the diffi culty, and by a prneesa known only to himself, hw has, after very elaborate and costly experiments, suo> seeded in deodorizing refined petroleum, which senders it susceptible of being handled as daintily aa the famous mn d* cologne. The experiments with: tike deodorized liquid on the human hair were at tended with the most astonishing results.©A few applications, where the hair was thin and falling, gave remarkable tone and vigor to tho scalp and hair. ^ Every panicle of dandruff disappeeee on the first or second dressing, and the liquid so search ing in its nature, seems to penetrate to the soots at once, and set np a radical change from the starL It is well known that the most hmatifui colon aro made from petroleum, and, by some mysterious operation of nature, the nee ef this article gradu ally imparts a beautiful light-brown color to the hair which by continned use, deepens to a black. The color remains permanent for an indefinite length of time, and the change is so gradual that the most friends can scarcely detect its progress. In a word, It Is the most wonderful discovery off the age, and well calculated to make the prema turely bald and gray rejoice. We advise our readers to give it a trial, feel tow satisfied that one application will convince them off its wonderful effects.—Pittsburgh Commercial cf Oct. 22, 1877.
