The Legislature and the In
vestigation.
final disposition of this all important
matter, which at fartherost would
have taken but two or three days
and for its failure so to do, that lidos
orable body is not likely to be held
guiltless by the people of Geor
gia. V
Georgia’s Greatest Scourge.
l’ci haps nothing lia9 ever occurred
in the history of Georgia which has
n’.ou-ed >uch deep concern and inter
est upon the part of the whole people
of Bttr commonwealth, as the necesi-
sity, under certain malignant charges
for our Cliset Magistrate to demand
at the hands of the General Assem
bly an investigation of his motives
and conduct in endorsing the bonds
of the Northeastern ltailrond. Un
der these malignant ard most slan
derous charges, Governor Colquitt
not only felt it due himself to ask an
investigation that the high-toned,
honorable and Christian character,
which had ever been bis boast and
which he especially claimed as Gov
ernor of Georgia should ho be iully
vindicated, but inasmuch as these
charges, were gross calumnies upon
the State and tho Democratic party
which had honored him with so high
and responsible a position, be con
sider it his bounded duty as the
Gubernatorial representative of both
to demand the investigation that the
fair fame of Georgia might be equally
vindicated, and that in failing to do
so lie would prove- recreant to tho
high honor and tiust bestowed upon
him. Acting in obtdienco to th : s
high scene of duty the Governor sent
a special message to the General As-
somh’y, immediately upon its meet
ing asking for such investigation. The
Gencar.1 Assembly at once appointed
a special joint committee, which held
its session daily ami indeed almost
co-.-.unuously lor thirty- even days or
dining the session of the Legislature.
Xtver before was there such search
ing investigation made by any com
mittee, they sparing no pains, nor
failing to summons before them
every possible witness from whom
tho least information might be ob-
lained. Much of the evidence, not
withstanding its being altogether
irrelevant was lakan doubtlesss with
t’.iu hope of discovering or developing
new channels of investigation or in
formation.
Tho evidence and report of the
committee, fills a closely printed vol
ume of over one hundred pages.
Upon this most thorough and search
ing investigation, and upon this most
voluminous accumulation of evidence,
the committee make their report
and notwithstanding there is a ma
jority report, and a minority report
from two of the committee, they de-
conting only as to the form of the re
port of the majority, nevertheless
Loth reports unquestionably, unmis
takable and with no hesitating or un
certain language dearly and fully
vindicate Governor Colqnitt against
even the slightest suspicion of mis
conduct or improper motives in the
discharge of his executive duties
Ti e printed evidence and reports
of the committee were dudy and reg
ularly laid before the General Assem
bly—at a late hour of the session it is
true—but it Tint must be the profound
astonishment and surprise of the
whole people of Georgia, to know
that with so important a matter be
fore the body—one involving not
only the character and reputation of
tho Governor, but the-fair fame of'
Georgia, and consequently in no
small degree endangering the char
acter, the strength, and the success of
tho Democracy, it failed to consider
and dispose of this report, adjourning
thojwholc matter over until its session
in July. Far be it from our purpose
to unjustly or unnecessarily censure
or charge fault against the legislature,
but as this was by for the gravest and
most important matter for its consid
oration, v. hat good or just excuse can
the members possibly render to the
people for thus postponing a matter
so deeply concerning tho character
and reputation of the Governor, the
honor and fair fame of the common
wealth, and the safety and success of
the Democratic party?
Is is true the evidence was volumi
nous, but a prolongation of the ses
sion for twenty-four hours, would
have been ample time to have dis
posed of tho whole matter. Indeed
as the committeewhich was largo and
composed of good and ab’e roembo s,
was fully agreed upon the facts as to
the Governor's • absolute^ innocence,
even saying in their reports, that the
whole array of cvidenco had failed to
place the slightest suspicion upon the
Governor, would it. not have been
well and wise-fort the Legislature to
have received aud adopted tho report
ol the committee? • *1

The Legislature undoubtedly should
have prolonged its session for the
Col. Lesters Explanation.
We notice in the Senate proceed- jjjBj
ings of lest Friday the 13th irtst. that'
Col. Ruftfs E. Lester, President of
that body arose to s, privilege ques-
tnrfmtnru n w, im.
The State of Georgia in common
with her Sister States has greatly
suffered of late years from the vari
ous oppressions which have been vis-
ited upon the country. She has felt
the outrageous oppression of Radical
ism ; she has been crippled in her
many interests from the financial dis
tress of the country; her manufac'
turing and industrial interests have
languished for want of skilled and
controlled labor; pestilence and al
most famine have visited her borders,
indeed she has born all the sufferings
incident to corrupt and unconstitu
tional government, hot waver did she
amid all this series of sufferings and
distresses have to sustain such a
scourge as the Legislature which has
just closed its session. The General
Assembly, the flou^e especially, Com
posed iu a large degree of many of
the wide-mouthed demagogues, who
infested our late Constitutional Con
vention and submitted to the people
a Constitution the evils of which are
now being felt, and will contiuue to
be felt in Georgia until the wisdom
and patriotism of the Slate arises to
its amendinentor overthrow,remained
in session fur 37 days, which will for
ever be considered the dark and dis
graceful days of our sorely cursed
commonwealth.
During this period of its howling
and rangling not one measure of im
portance was enacted, save perhaps
the bond-bill and the passage of the
ordinary tax and appropriation bills
for the support of tho government
until it could meet again to curse and
abuse the public interest This abuse
of Georgia’s true interest and about
inable imposit'on upon tho already
oppressed tax-payers of tho State, is
all the more apparent and inexcusa
ble, when it is remembered that
the consideration and disposal o!
many matters of grave and immeis
urable importance to the State, was
expected of the body, and which re
ceived uot the slightest notice, if not
contemptions disregard, at its hands.
And this is not all. They not only
disregarded these measures, but in
what they did do, they have beyond
a doubt set the great State of Georgia
back at least fitly years in the roll of
progressive and truly civilized gov
ernments. What a calamitous pre
sentation of the first Legislature
which has met under our new Consti
tution, and from which the people ex
pected an exhibit of statesmanship aud
patriotism commensurate with the
great work of adopting the statutory
law of the State to the newly adopted
organic law. The cal inanity attend
ing this presentation consists in the
undeniable truthfulness thereof.
In thus photographing the present
Legislature iu imperishable and by
no means deceptive colors, it is due
some small portion of tho body to
say, they arc exlioneratcd from the
charges herein contained, and de
servo the sympathy and commisera
tion of the whole commonwealth for
being in such bod company.
In the name of our grand old com
monwealth we would ask, is it possible
that the Stato is again to be afflicted
with this body next July! How will
an outraged and oppressed people
manage to endure the suspense of
such an approaching evil? We are
constrained to say, in behalf of
Georgia and her suffering sovereigns
God save the country from the curse^
the pestilence, the oppression and
outrages of howling demagogues and
petty politicians.

Mr. Editor:—Tins is tin- fist
time I ever attempted to write mu -
regarding our testimony before th^l
special joint committee appointed to
investigate, the motive jw\d conduct
of the Governor in ehdo rrin£- the
bonds .oT’the NortKtSmftfrm Railroa4j
Mr. Lester takes exceptions to that
portion of our testimony, on page 58
of the committees report where we
are quoted as having said, that we
got iiis signature in company with
that of Mr.~ Mercer of Savannah £?> a”
paper which had been signed by
Major A. O. Bacon,' Col- T.*«T. Sim
mons, Hon. G. F. Pierce and others.
It is due both, Col. Lester and-our-
selves to say that we never made any
such statement, nor could we have
made any such statement, since he
most positively refused to sign the
paper in question. Col. Lester dur-
ing our interview with him distinctly
stated, that so far as the intention ot
the legisture was to except the North
eastern Railroad from the provisions
of the act Repealing State,aid to Rail
roads’ he was probably fully agreed
with the gentlemen who had signed
the paper, but since the adoption of
tho new constitution he entertained
doubts as to the Governors right or
duty to endorse the bonds, and as
these gentlemen went on in this paper
to say that it was his duty, therefore
he could not sign it, but would give
us a letter embodying bis views.
This letter he did give us, as our
testimony, further on states aiid
which is as follows, page 58 last
paragraph. “ One other thing, we
did go to see Mr. Rufus Lester, Mr.
Murphy suggested that he had seen
him, and lie hail said be would co
operate with these other gentlemen.
I was delegated and went down aud
got a letter from Col. Lester. 1
brought it up, and after reading it
over, it was decided that perhaps it
was not very satisfactory for our pur
pose. Mr. Lester took this position,
that under the new Constitution he
doubted very capitally whether thb
matter would be legitimate, and not
being strong on the line, we did not
use the letter. I believe I have got
that letter.”
Wo would hardly have added this
last testimony, if Col. Lester had
signed the paper which tho other par-
ties had signed, or if we had even
said that he signed it The truth of
the whole matter is, we have been
reported wrong in our testimony up*,
on this point as well as upon several
other poi-its upon which we gave ev
idence.
We are reported as saying some
things which we did not say, and
some things which we did say were
net reported at all
Mr. Lester further explain?, by
saying, “ that he had never said that
he would co-operate with these
other gentlemen h Upon a careful
reading - f our testimony Col. Lester
will find that we never said tlv>t he
ever told us any such thing..
The Colonel, concludes his explana
tion by adding, *’ he has said that he
could sign a paper like one Bicbn
had signed, etc.” About this we
know nothing, but are muchlnclified
to believe the public print has done
him like injustice with out selves by
misquoting him, since Mr. Bacon
never signed but the one paper, and
that was the one Col. Lester posi
tively refused to sign. We regret
the necessity of this .notice at our
hpnds, and have only, been induced
thereto from a .sense of duty and
justice both to Col. Lester and outs
selves.

The wound which Governor Harnp
ton received some time since fractur
ing itis leg resulted bo seriously that
the limb had to be amputated some
six inches below tlie knee joint. The
reports as to his condition for some
days after the operation were very
unfavorable;' but recently his condition
is much improved and strong hopes of
his speedy recovery are now enter
tained. This misfortune to South
Carolina’s patriotic statesman and no
ble chieftain has awakened a profound
sympathy throughout the length and
breadth of the land. The State
Legislature has shown its high ap
preciation of the noble worth nod
excellence of Governor Hampton by
unanimously electing him to' the
United States Senate. This was a
most deserved reward, aud now (daces
Governor Hampton among the first
men of the whole country. He is
sucoeeded in his governorship by
Lieutenant Gov. Sitapson.
The Afghan war still progresses.
So far no particular or important .nils
gagernents have been had between the

lions being principally confined to
strategic movements on the part of
the British forces. As the existing
European hostilities caunot be regard
ed in any other light than a piict of
sharp diplomacy on the part of the
British Government, tiiere'has con
sequently been but little' interest' dr
sympathy manifested by the'outside
world. Hie British Government
knowing Russia to be completely exs
hausted by her’ recent War with
Hp-ltey, has moved forward to the
possession of Bellbochistan on the
South and Afghanistan cn the North,
thmi interrupting Russia’s only routes
of connection with British Indio. The
British thus holding the key to British
India, of conrse check-mate any ag
