Wholesale Investigation.
Investigation seems to be the order
of i’ue present' legislature. Well, if
there bo fa.ta to show the slightest
wrong in any department of the govs
emment, then investigations should be
made and of the most rigid and thor
ough character, going to the very
bottom of the work undertaken.
Again, if there be a; well grounded
suspicion of wrong-doing on the part
of any official, the matter should of
course be looked into. But we fail to
see any justification of such course on
the part of legislator-*, or tho public
as so greatly tend to break down the
p 'rsoual and official character of a pub
lic functionary, upon the merest suspis
cion, and that too before the slightest
evidence has been deduced upon which
to find or declare said official guilty
of any wrong or misconduct in office.
We fear, such is too much the ten
dency, growing out of the present
wild, nud seemingly fanatical, spirit
of wholesale investigation. These
things are largely calculated to destroy
public confidence and bring about
such distrust as not only to prove
damaging to innocent and honest
public officers, but highly so to the
character, reputation and responsibili
ty of the government, and conse
quently tho pnblio good. There is
yet another evil, which may give rise
to wholesale and ^unwarranted investis
guiions. Not unfrequently, these
things come of the prejudices which
find origin in personal and political
antagonisms and which ere constancy
stimulated, by personal ambitions and
political disappointments. Wlicre-
ever such is the case, it should meet
with sure, prompt, and unmeasured
condemnation in the public mind.
We repeat, where-ever and when
ever investigation of any public funct
ionary, or department of government
is warranted by any facts establishing
the charges of misconduct in office,
then let thorough investigation be
made by all means, and if wrong-,
doing be found to exist let the reme
dy, sure and prompt, by all means, be
applied. But, above all things, let
such proceedings be characterized,
with “wisdom, justice and modern'
tion.” The good of the common
wealth, and the preservation ot pnblic
confidence and the high character of
our government, likewise a just and
necessary protection and support to
our government officials demand this
much at the hands of the legislature
and the people.
In this connection, we feel it but
duty, to notice somewhat of the re
cent proceeding on the part ot the
Speaker of the House of Representas
lives in appointing, at least, one of the
investigating committees. We mean
the Committee to investigate the State
department of agricultural. Hon,
James, M. Smith of Oglethorpe is
madcchairmau of this committee.
We know tho honorable chairman
well, and can safely say that he is in
every sense a just, houest, and com
petent man and legislator, and that
he is far above doing a small or dis
honorable thing. Bat since, Mr.
Smith, has so recently antagonized the
department of agriculture in a most
pointed, earnest, and unmistakable
speech in the House of Bepresentas
tives, making in said speech grave
charges against the department, and
the official who presides over tho same,
also making a record of oppontiou to
him and his department, which it is
hardly to be supposed, the honorable
gentlemen will very readily abandon,
wc, would respectfully inquire was it
not, to say the least, rather irregular
for the Speaker to appoint him, the
recognized enemy of the department,
as chairman of the committee to in
vestigate the State commissioner of
agriculture and his department?
Again tho honorable Mr. Walters of
the House, was the mover of tbe reso
lution, under which committees were
appointed to investigate the treasury
department, the department of agri
cultural, and the principal keeper of
tho penitentiary, and under all par
liamentary law and usage, he shonld
have been made, at least, chairman of
one of the committees. We find that
Mr. Walters* is chairman of neither
committee, but a member of the com*
mil tee to investigate the. principal
keeper of the penitentiary. Far be it
from us to do injustice to any one, by
insinuation, direct charge or otherwise,
Who axe They? *
Our firieud Gantt of the Oglethorpe
Echo, in a decidedly uncomplimentary
defense of Governor Colquitt, and
auch as would, tend to dam him with
faint prdiao, makes the following grave
charge against some of the Executive
officials.
“ Ho is a high-toned, brave, Christ
ian gentleman—the very soul of honor
—whose grave fault is that‘he attri>
bates to every one else the same un
wavering integrity that prompts his
own heart. AcUug under this, he
has gathered around him the most
unworthy and dishonest set of officials
that ever disgraced any administra
tion. They mould tbe pure and con
fiding heart of the Executive to their
cwn vile will.”
It is not our purpose in this con
nection to become the champion or
defender of those whom Governor
Colquitt has seen fit to select as his
executive officials, so much as the
advocate of true justice, and true
manhood.
Now our friend Lary, has made the
gravest of charges against these gen
tlemen, and we hold, that ho is bound
by every sense and obligation of those
high qualities which should be found
in every true editor, viz, true justice,
and true manhood, to say who these
officials are, and of what offense they
have been guilty? Justice to the
public, au4 justice to these executive
officials, demand that the editor of
tbe Echo, should have tbe true man
hood to ccrne out and say who they
arc, nud of what crime have they been
guilty, which justifies him in charging
that they are, “ the most unworthy
and dishonest set of officials that ever
disgraced any administration ?’’
The only officials, wc have any know
ledge of, that Governor Colquitt has
"gathered.around him’’ are (1) Col.
I. W. Avery and Major James War
ren, private Secretaries of the Gov
ernor. (2) Mr. John Baird, Ad
jutant and Inspector General, and
Executive Clerk, (3) Col. Tom
Howard, Keeper of the public archives,
(4) Young Mr. Murphy (whose given
name wo do not know) warrant clerk.
(5) Major Robert N. Ely, Attorney
General. (G) Capt. John Nelms
principal keeper of the penitentiary,
(7) Dr. T. P. Janes, State Commis
sioner of Agriculture, (8) Dr. George
Little, State Geologist, (9) Mr. Frank
Haralson, State Librarian. These
officials arc provided for under tbe
law of the State, and under the same
tho Governor was required to
appoint them. All tbe other officials,
in and about the executive depart
ment were elected by the Legislature,
and Governor Colquitt had nothing
whatever to do with their election,
and the law strictly forbids him hav
ing anything whatever to do with
their duties.
Now Lary, as a simple act of
justice, let us. pass in review these
officials, which the Governor (you
claim the honor of having been the
first to nominate for the honorable
and responsible position lie occupies)
haa “ gathered around him ’’ and
their official conduct. (1) Col. I. W
Avcty, a gallant ex-confederate Col,
who wears most honorable scars, re
ceived in defense of his country, and
whose honesty, integrity and high
character have never before been im
peached, what is - his offense, -and
what charge have you to bring against
him? (2) Major James Warren
private secretary of Governor James
M. Smith, and a gentleman whose
character is far above reproach,, whose
honor cannot be assailed, and whose
integrity is unimpcachihle, what is
his crimo, and w hat have you to say
of him? (3) Mr. John Baird, a
young man ot such purity of charac
ter, and high bearing in his official
position, that none know him hut to
r respec'. and honor him, of what
misconduct has he bee i guilty? and
by what right have you t > c'ass him,
as one of “ the m m unworthy and
dishonest officials ilia*. ev« r disgraced
any admistration ? (4) Col. Tom
Howard, ouc of the in >st intellectual,
one of the purest and most trust
worthy men, that ever filled any
office, and which high-qualities arc
his proud and boasted fortin *, do
you know him ? and with what crimo
do you propose to stigmatize the
bright and untarnished escutcheon of
his old age ? (5) Yonng Mr. Murphy,
a young man, whose character for
honesty, morality, and strict integrity
has never before been assailed, with
what damning crime, do you charge
him, and with which to break him
down in his young manhood? (G)
Attorney General Ely, whoso honor,
and whose integrity, both in tin
private walks of life, and in hia office
capacity, are his highest, his dearqfct,
yoq‘ propose to blacken his of-
fid# rcoru? (9) Dr. George
Little, appointed by Governor Smith
and whoso high-capacity as State
Geologist haa rever before been
questioned, and who, from the love of
his profession and the love which he
bears fop Georgia, and the interest
.which ho feels in her growth and
prosperity, has tor six months or more
served as Geologist for the State,
without one dollar of pay for his ser
vices, the legislature having discons
tinned his salary last winter, what un-
worthiness, dishonesty, or offi
cial , corruption can you'
charge against him ? and why seek to
damage a man whose official career
has been characterized with such ef
ficiency, with such generosity, with
such worthiness, and with such hon
esty? (10) Mr. Frank Haralson, whose
courtcsey, efficiency, and high-bearing
as State Librarian has won for him the
esteem,confidence and respect of every,
body who has come in contact with
him in liis official position, what
corruption or dishonesty has marked
Frank’s career ? and is it not exceed
ingly unkind and unjust in you to
thus seek to damagn a young man
who is honestly and earnestly seeking
to build himself up in the! confidence
and good esteem of the public ?
Now Lary, do these gentlemen, Gov.
Colquitt, the public and yourself
the justice to say, who these corrupt,
unworthy,.and dishonest officials are ?
and what crime they have been guilty
of? or failing iu this then recon
sider the charges which you have
nude, and have the true manhood to
come out and say, that you were too
hasty and altogether wrong, and that
Governor Colquitt, for having “gath
ered around him’’ such officials as
these, will while in office nnd when
retired to private life, ever have tbe
love, confidence, and respect of the
State at large, and his “spotless char
acter” will now and forever serve as
a defense against such unjust, unwar
ranted and unfounded charges as are
being made against him and his ad
ministration.

We have already spoken, in onr
last week’s issue, of the masterly ef
fort of Chancellor Mell in his Com
mencement sermon at College Chap
el, Sunday, August 3rd—(Text: 3d
chapter, 20th verse, Galations, “I am
crucified with Christ; nevertheless, I
live, yet not I, but Christ livelh
me.”) The striking manner in*whicb
this remarkable text was handled,
made a deep impression on the large,
attentive and appreciative audience,
which filled the Chapel on that oc
casion, and was the subject of com'
ment and high praise during the en
tire Commencement exercises. The
earnest declaration that a man who
was not willing to become a martyr
for the truth, whenever tbe occasion
demanded, was not worthy of confi
dence, and could not be trusted by
his follow-men, was so deeply en
graven upon the minds aud hearts
of his hearers, that it cannot be easi
ly erased.
Chancellor Mdl has reason to be
proud of his administration, and the
entire Commencement exercises give
every indication of the devotion of
himself and Faculty in training and
developing the minds of the youth of
Georgia. Wa bid them all God-speed
in their noble work.
Tho Sophomore declamation was
decidedly superior to that ot last
Commencement, and we congratulate
Dr. Speer upon his success in this di
rection Tbe Junior exhibition, as a
whole, was the most creditable of
either Monday’s, Tuesday’s or
Wednesday’s exercises. In fact, we
know of none superior in the Univer
sity of Georgia, before or since the
war. The Senior day was made very
attractive by several masterly aud el
oquent efforts; bat the Juniors, as a
body, considering that they were one
year behind the Seniors, certainly de
serve the palm of victory, and should
wear the crown of superior merit—

Grady heard him taking to some
gentlemen and fraudulently appropri
ated wliat was said, and then went off
and misstated it.”
I do not. believe General' Toombs
ever made that remark, seriously. If
he did he was under some artificial
stimulus, nnd did not speak his mind.
The truth is this: I met General
Toombs on tho Street and told him I
desired to have a long talk with him,
for the purpose of writting up his life
and opinions for tho Philadelphia
Times. He consented willingly. I
invited him into the Constitution ol-
lice where we coaid be more deli her
ate and quiet, mid explained in his
presence to Messrs. Hemphill and
Howell what we were at, ami invited
them to stay and hsar the. talk —
They 4>*1 so nud heard'every word.—
In order to be perfectly accurate I
took notes of the conversation, Gen.
To ombs frequently pausing for me to
llx soiiHfdflte or remark on my paper,
and frequently saying, “Don’t publish:
this remark, as it relates only to pri
vate affairs;” or, “Leave out this di
gression, as it is not important to the
public.'’ I have these notes now,
with the the word “otnii’’ written over
several items tlut had gone to paper
before he said ‘they were |privatv.—r
Since tho interview has appeared
General Toombs lias, in the preseuce
of prominent gentlemen, thanked me
for the interview and expressed great
gratification over it. He bat so ex
pressed hi.nself to many ctlu rs, whose
names are known to nfc.
I seldom take the trouble to cor
rect anything said aboat mo in the
public press. I have neither the time
nor inclination to do so, and frequent
ly submit to misrepresentation rather
than waste my time or annoy the
public with personal cards. But I
have thought it proper to coi rcct this
report, as an important person is
made responsible for it. I have this
to say in conclusion: I have never, in
niy life, published a private conver
sation, without first sealring the ful
lest permission to do so, and I defy
proof to the contrary. General
Toombs’ interview was not only au
thorized, and delivered solely to me
.md at my request for public use, but
it is accurate in every detail, and this
I stand ready to prove incontcstibly,
whenever General Toombs foruiall
authorizes a serious contradiction,

At a little before nir.e o’clock last
evening the train from Savannah,
bringing Capt. Bob Falligant and
thirty of his braves, arrived at the
Union Depot, after the quickest run
ever made between the two cities
over a railroad. It is needless to add
that this came by the Magnolia
Route.
The Savannah boys were met at
the Depot by Capt. Clarke and a de
tachment of the Hussars, and by
Capt. Caffln’and the Oglethorpes, of
this city. Just previous to the arriv
al of the Savannah train, tji% (rain
carrying home the colored military
company left the car shed, aud a
thousand and one darkies had gone
out to see their friends off; so that
when the Augusta military assembled
to greet their Savannah friends, the
scene at the depot closely resembled
those witnessed every day at the
Grand Union Depot in New York.
The Oglethorpes of Augusta invited
their Savannah friends and the Hus
sars across the way to Owen’s Rail
road Saloon, where a most iuVigora-
ting punch had been concocted, and
one hundred glasses were filled and
one hundred men quaffed the good WitiierSpOOll’S
