3OUT HE ^arattr. fX- TrX. C -A. E LTO 3ST, SPITUn AND PROPRIKTOR. Tuesday, December 17, 1878. 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 A'.veudyare tmr enemies both at home to dabfoad Seeking to make - 1 'political capital out of thb most shafitelul and unjust accusation against ■ cWr Cliitf Magistrate. 1 A postpone- ihfeut britliis matter by the Legisla ture fintH netcl July gives time and opportunity to tile enemies of the Governor, th4'State, and tlui Democ racy to hrottso flew suspicions, seek ing with 'the hostile, the thoughtless, *» nn d‘ tfm-’'sffJ»er6GM ! tb construe the hesitancy bn tho part of the Legisla ture as a doubt of the propriety of the committees acquital. 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.

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.

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.
