EDITORS ALONG THE GULF LOAD.
Who has not heard of the Valdosta Gim
let? Perhaps some of our Readers hare,
btR to those who hare not, we will say
that it is a spicy little ten by twelve sheet,
its issued''at Valdosta, and edited by the
publisher end published by tfceheeditor - In
last number, under the above caption, we
find the following in regard to the editorial
fraternityoi Bsinbridge:
Bainbridge claims three. Bussell of the
■Good templars and- avaanah fair notorie
ty, editor of the Democrat, is a short
stump of a fellow abont five feet sir inches
|g his boots, and weighs about 145 pounds,
lias a devilish aly liable eye, and supports
a puny looking moustache. We wouid’nt
trust him farther than you could throw a
—feather.
Hayes of the Fun is a loag gacky look
ing fellow, about six feet six inches under
his beaver. A handsome beard, a sleepy
eye and a poke-easy walk, idle the bill for
him. We wouid’nt trust a bottle of tari
gle-leg in his keeping. v
; Johbston*. the Sun local, is an orphan
child. .He is a small chubby fellow. One
“would judge from his looks that he dieted
eiMgiderabiy on pot-liquor, “Bat” they
c*ll him because he resembles somewhat a
bull-bat, would say more but he is rather
fighty-fled*
In the language of Rip Vau Winkle,
“give that editor a cold potato and let him
go.“ lie’s sure to make his mark in the
world, if its reaching the standard of an
excellent dancer on—what 11 e boy shot at.
CONLKY’b PARDONS-
Conley has .signalized his laying down
the seals of office, says the Chronicle and
Sentinel, by acts of Executive clemency
exercised toward great State criminals,
winch will in all future times, make his
name odious to the people of the f?tate. —
Previous to this grand* iniquity there was
a very large number of the good men of the,
State who were loth to believe that he was
personally corrupt and dishonest. 1 his
class of our people thought that he had
never shared in the spoils and robberies of
Bullock and Blodgett, but this almost last'
act as acting Governor, of extending full
and free pardon to these great criminals,
and other lesser thieves, will cause a
change of opinion on this subject.
Conley knows, or all of the people of the
State know, that Bullock and Blodgett
have dishonestly and corruptly used the
money of the State- He knows that the
people demanded a fair investigation of
.their conduct for the four years, and this
the in
quiry and punishment of the law, makes
Con'ey, in the eyes of lionc-st men, equally
culpable as the great thieves who he seeks
to relieve.
We are greatly mistaken, however, if this
attempt to shield the robbers from the
punishment due to their crimes will be
successful.
The power to grant pardons for alleged
offense before trial or conviction is one
which the people have not delegated to
the 1 xeeutive. It is an accident royality
where the sovereign power i3 vested in an
individnal, but ft can find no deposity in
the Governor of the 'tate. ihe people here
are sovereign not the Governor. It is true
that the Supreme Court by a divided bench
have ruled that the Governor of Georgia
is clothed with this kingly power Yet
this Court was composed of pariizans of
the Kadical party and the friends of the
late Governor, but now fugitive from jus
tice- 1 his Court will soon be reorganized
and good men placed on it—at least a ma
jority will be men who are sound lawyers
and honest patriots These will, we trust,
reverse the late decision on this point, and
hold that the Executive of the Mate has
no right to grant pardons until after trial
and conviction.
