I Lave carefully watched every step taken since, and I am saiiyfied that Georgia never had a belter Governor than Alfred H. Colquitt—a purer, firmer, more devoted Governor. Instead of loosing confidence in him, my admira tion tor him has been steadily increas ed. 1 not ouly say that he lias not been to blame in any of these matters, but 1 ay, and I know what I am say ing, that there never was so rigid a scrutiny into all departments as there has been under Governor Colquitt There never was a time when every officer was held to so strict an account, or when the departments were run so iconomically. At every point where the Governor has had control, the ex pense* have', been reduced. These was ever interested in or implicated with any of these irregularities.’’ senator t*>m cabanis, Who is die handsomest speaker and one of the strongest men <» the Sen ate, said': “It, is the height of absurd ity tor Governor Colqnit t’s opponents to have tried to hold him responsible for what has happened here. There come through the furnace without thi ‘ smell of fire on his garments. I never expected anything else, but I mast say that I am gratified to sec how" triumphantly every charge broaghl against him lias been repelled and has recoiled Upon its authors. I think the investigation, while they were intend ed to cripple and kill him, liave left him stronger that ke ever was and have assured lib rc-election. I shall support him with more confidence than ever.

I have been forced to this course by the unj ist attempts that I have ;en made to breakdown his administration. I have understood the motive and meuuing of tluise at tempts, and I have determined to sup port the Governor in my fcnb'e way, for I believe he deserves vindication against tlie unmanly assiults that liave been made on him. The politicians can’t fool the people, and they will stand by Governor Colquitt!' matter. He had nothing to do with it, and cou.d have had nothing. Iu the first plaee. he did not appoint Goldsmith. Tlie Legislature elected him, and Governor Colquitt had noth ing to do with it. “As to the Governor finding out that there was maladministration in the office, that was amply impossible, it took me and the committee Weeks and weeks to discover that therti was anything wrong. We sat in continn- ou3 session day after day. We had the power, which the Governor had uot, to send for witneases and papers, and to compel them to answer. We bad every facility that could be offer ed, and many facilitiealbat the Gov ernor never could liave bad; andiyet, despite all these things, for over »two weeks we were absolutely baffled. We could not pot our fingers on a angle clue, and an ordinary search would have been abandoned iong befbro we readied any definite informath n.

The truth is they W2re being done under former Governors—they escaped the attention ot former spe cial committees to look into the affairs of the offices, and wei<- only brought out by these special efforts.” “So you think Governor Colquitt has made a good officer “As good a one as Georgia ever had, in any sense of the word. I shall support him to the bc.-t of my ability in tlie coning campaign, and shall stand tor him against the field.” Senator Simmons’ Opinion. Among all the Senators there has not been a more devoted, or caretnl, or clear-headed, con-mentions man than Colonel Simmons Quiet, mod est, but observant, aud shrewd, lie has sat at his desk, watching the drift of things. Says he : “I came here Governoi Colquitt’s friend, and I have seen nothing to change me so far. I think lie has been wrongly abused, and that his administ ration will be indorse ’. Tne assaults have all been made on him for a purpose. It makes me blush to see me., abuse him even for encouraging the cause of religion and Sunday Schools. That only in creases my respect for him. It would be well it more of u- wouhl do that sort of work.” Senator Bryan Has Some Reflec tions. Senator Bryan, the smallest, and yet one of the largest men in the Sen ate, says : “I was convinced long ago that these 'assaults were for mere per sonal purposes, and that they were in-p red by aspirants f.»r Governor Colquitt’s place. After sitting here for over three months, and watching the development of afiairs day after day, I am more than ever convinced that the Governor has been the object sought iu all these investigations. While many were honestly engaged in them, the motives that inspired them were against Governor Colquitt. Wh le much guod may have been dene by them, this is mere incidental, and the main idea has been to break down Governor Colquitt’s administration. That is my opinion, confirmed by what I have seen here. It is :i glori ous thing for Governor Colquitt aud for the State that he has stood proof against thesejsinisterassaults, and has come out of the matter stainless. Wherever charge or 'insinuation has touched him or hi* administration, it h is rolled back ir confus on and left him harmless. This shouldjbe a mat ter of pride to all Georgians.’’ “You see no point where the in vcstigaiiuus have touched the Govern or?” “Xo ie, •'ir, none. lie cornea out slrtuiL’cr and purer .than he ever was. A* far as heating him ia concerned, that is the veriest bosh. He will be r^-clected if he desires to run without any trouble. The people of Georgia are too intelligent and too fair minded to be deceived or misled. As far as I am concerned, I shall support him, ns I liave always d ne. TIk- affairs of this session have strengthened my purpose to stand by Colquitt at nil hazards.” Senator Hamilton, of tiie ‘21st, A senator who ulwav* knows his own mind, and never hesitates to say what he thinks say*: “I do uot hesi tate to say that there is trot the slight ed trace anywhere in any ot the in vestigations that shows that Govern or Colquitt was, or could be responsi ble tor wbal ha* happened. Tlie same things would have happened under any other Governor, no matter who he was. I was not a Colquitt mao in the late race, but the effect of wliat I have seen in these investigations, in stead of patting me off, has drawn me closer to hiiu and increased my confidence in him. Ho has had my sympathy in the unprecedented as saults made on hi* administration. That is the effect they have had on met I believe that tlie effect on tho people will be the same. It may be the same. It may be that bis ene mies will try to use these things against him, but they will liave no effect; and the very men who urge them will not believe them them selves.’’ r Senator Tyson, of the IOtii, One of the most prominent of tlie younger Senator-, and representing one of the strongest Districts in the State, says: “The only different e be tween Senator Preston and inyaelf is that I went uu ibelMurpby Fee Com mittee a friend of Governor Colquitt, and I came rut yet a stronger friend than ever. I have - understood the motive of these assault* on the Gov ernor, and have beeu more than grat ified, though not at nil surprised, at the clean record that lie has brought out of tho storm, lie i* stronger than ever, and 1 shall support him with more zeal than I ever did.” - ■' | Senator Hawkins’ Opinions. Sciiatoi Hawkins, of theRome Dis trict, a careful and umueivaiive ob». server, nays: “Governor Cdlqui'thas mind tnai me ixovernor wa* not ana could r.ot lie held responsible for the irregularities in the department*. While I felt obliged to vote ‘'guilty” in both of the impeachment* before us, I felt a sured beyond question that there wa* no knowledge on Governor Colquitt’s part of what was being done, and that from the very nature of the cases he could huvu had no such knowledge. The same state ol affairs would have existed uuder any other admini.-tration and the Govern or could liave been none the wiser for it. I think his 'administration has been a good one.” Senator, Clements. Who has won a place in the trout ranks of thinkers on the floor, says i “Of course no intelligent man will at tempt to hold Governor Colqtrkt re sponsible for everything that has ha|i- pened in the departments. I have been must thoroughly convinced from the coarse of the investigations that the Governor has done hi* full doty to the State. There i* not', the slightest, thing to justify the charge that he h:is been careles-, or lax or indifferent. He lias (lone all that a Governor could or should do, ami the State i-to lie congratulated. The men who are aspiring to hi* place will try to put the stain of these irregularities on him. hut the people will wipo the stain off. A more upright, honorable man never lived, an I the people of Georgia will not see him unjustly as persed.” SENATOR TURNER, Who is from a fine district and fitly represent* it, says: “Nothing has Htruc me with more surprise and in dignation than the attempt'to put mron Governor Colquitt the respon sibility fir tiie matter* that we hive been investigating. There is not the shallow (J an excuse fur such a", at tempt. They might as well tiy to put it ou me. Governor- Colquitt has done hi- duty like a man, aud I honor him for it.

Was not interviewed, but he is the Senator who moved the resolution of confidence in Governor Colquitt on the last night of the November ses sion and aiuce then he ha3 voted in variably to sustain the Governor ou every occasion. SENATOR JOSEPH B. CUMMINO, One of the foremost men in the Sen ate, rays: “I do not think, of conrs*. that tho Governor has had any connection with the matters that have been before us. The extreme point to which I would go would be to say that the Governor may have been somewhat lax in liis supervision of his departments, though from what Mr. Russell is re|iorted as saying, it may be that if lie bad investigated he could have found nothing. I have no hesitation is saying that there is nothing to show that the Governor had any connection inconsistent with complete inle-'rity with the matters we liave had before us, and I feel sure he never did.” . ' SENATOR HODGES, A reliable and steadfast Senator, says that lie his seen nothing to show that the Gevi rnor was aespoasiblc for of connected with the irregularities in the State House offices, and he is sat i-ged that the attack* being made upon the Governor will only servo to strengthen him with the people. SENATOR DRAKE, Who is not a politician, but a clear headed man of business, says thst the attack* upon the Governor has been unjust and that it is unjust to attempt to hold him responriblo for what has happened in the various departments, ns he did not have the appointment of the officers and was not respor4ible for them. He says that he shall sup port the Governor with unabated confidence, and with all the warmth tlmt. a citizen not a politician can command. ,. SENATOR*JOHN T. CLARKE, Who is probably' tlie ablest lawyer in the Senate, and one ot tbe ablest iu the State, say*: “I have seen noth- a scrupulous, firm, attentive Gover nor. He has reduced tht expenses and kept up the dignity of the State. I consider his administration. one of tlie best Georgia ever had, and I shall cheerfully support him for re- election. If he will allow the use of his name, he will be re-elected, in my opinion, without serioiis'opposition.’’ SENATOR TROUTMAN. Says that a more outrageous attempt to saddle on a man who is perfectly in- nocentjof responsibility or complicity, troubles that he could not have pre vented never was seen. He says that Governor Colquitt has risen in his es timation steadily as the investigations have deveiojied, and that lie saw, with pride and pleasure, that every assault on the Governor’s character or administration, rolled back harm lessly. “The most wonderful thing,” he sahl, “was that all this was done without any effort on the part of the Governor.» He Sat quiet and tran quil in his room, never became Hor rid, never haunted the lobby, and never attempted to influence the course of affairs. He simply did his duty, an-l stoo l upon hi- record. I shall support him willrout doalifor qualification.” A RESUME OF THE MATTER. These interviews might lie i Heed ed further, but we lack space and time. They are sufficient to enlight en the people and correct tho errors made by the Governor’s opponent*. — Weha7e taken tlie Senateaitiiply bc- ciu-o it is ea-y to cover the ground there limn in the House ; and be cause th3 impeachment cases were tried in the Senate, aud the Senators are most fully aware of the details of the cases. Every section is represented in these interviews, aud every element, and every shade of opinion. There are men who were for G dd-m'tli and against him ; men who were' for Ren- froe and mi n wlro were against him. We think the ground islnlfy covered, and we commend these short talks to the li-nest people of Georgia, who are too just to censure a man lor faults he did not c iiamit and did not know of, and could not have prevented, and who will do honor to a man who lias proven failhtul and devoted. .. i • in New * _u de* r notes dollars or to /«£ i to bo ■ re- front in hi» . ¥ , j I permanent cute for- Consumption.

The following from the Burlington Hiick'Hye, conveys a sound moral in a merry way, and after being laughed at may well be soberly pondered by fiirmers : ml others who are slow to see that the laws of trade “work both ways.” “No,” tlie honest firmer remarked, in tones of the deepest dejection, “tbe big crops don’t do us a hit of good. What’s the use ? Com only 30 cents! Eveiybody and everything’s dead set agin the farmer. Ouly 30 cents for corn. Why, it won’t pay our taxes, let alone huy us clothes. It won’t buy us enough salt to put np a barrel of pork. Corn only 30 cents! By jocks, it’s a livin’, cold-blooded swindle on the farmer that’s what it is. It ain’t worth raisiu’jfni for such a price as that. It’s a mean, low robbery.” With’n the next days that man had sold so much inure of his corn than he had intended that he found lie bad to buy corn to feed through the winter with The price nearly knocked him d-iwn. “tV l-at!” he yelled, ‘ 30 elf. for com!

Thirty cents'for corn! Well; I’il let my carriage-horses run on corn-s alks all winter before I’ll pay such an un heard-of, ontragvou* price for corn as that. Wny, the country’* flooded with corn, and 30 cents a bushel is a blamed robbery; and I don’t s.e bow any man, looking at the crop we’vq fold, can have the face to ask such a price.” To Prevent un<l Care Cu»h;Ii* and Colds a reliable remedy is necesa- ry in every honshold.

Splitting a Snake—“Pshaw,’’ said Csardine, as he seated himself in our sanctum, “the snake stories that are going about are nil too thio. Why, just look here.

' took holt of the handle, and as I gave it a shove something began to tear, and as the umbrelhr flew open a live black snake fell to the ground, split in two from its bead to its toil. lie confounded critter had actually swailered my umhreller, and I never noticed it until I shoved up the dum thing and split the animile from stem to stern.’’— Whitehall Times. a.
