A VERY REMARKABLE LETTER.
A Remarkable Letter.
Correspondence Augusta Conatitutionehat.
Atlanta, March G, 1877.
Strange rumors are afloat about the
make-up of the Gubernatorial household,
ami all sorts of scandals are drifting on the
whispering winds. The unique publica
tion of Mr. Hugh A. Haralson in the
Chronicle Sentinel has created some lit
tle stir in court circles, and outsiders, while
they laugh at the idea that Hugh was the
champion of the eighty thousand majority,
curiously inquire if his facts arc facts. The
opinion prevails to an alarming extent that
he has either lied, or that he has not lied
at all; and the same searching inquiry
goes to the extent of a demand for refuta
tion and disproof of the terrible charges
insinuated by the said 11. A. 11.
Your correspondent takes no stock in
this quarrel—it's above ordinary citizens,
and any interference might be regarded as
impertinent and kickablc. Let it be re
membered that it is the eighty thousand
majority retrenchment Governor on one
side, and the aggrieved, brother-in-law of a
Senator and next friend of said Governor,
on the other.
It will not do, however, to laugh away
the grave charges preferred by Mr. Haral
son. He is in a position to know whereof
he speaks, and aside from his claim to the
championship of the Governor's unprece
dented majority, his allegations affect the
honor of every Georgian and the onus is
upon the Governor and his staff to disprove,
or. at least, to denounce as false the
charges preferred and implied.
RETRENC H M ENT.
It may be of some interest to your read
ers to know that your correspondent erred
in giving credit to the Secretary of the
Senate and the Clerk of the House of the
late remarkable General Assembly, as the
only practical retrenchers connected with
that sui generis concern. It is a published
fact that the Clerk. Mr. Eugene Speer,
spent a little over $ll,OO0 —only about four
hundred less than his predecessor—and it
is a known fact that the Secretary of the
Senate. Win. A. Harris absorbed about as
much—sav $7,000 —as did his predecessor,
Mr. J. W. Murphy. I have, therefore,
the unpleasant duty before me, of with
drawing my commendation, and announc
ing that there was no retrenching in any
department of the late session. All was
looseness, all extravagance, all bunkum,
all on the make, and all without a care for
the peoples' interests.
POLITICS.
It may be of some importance to state
that the people here, and in the up coun
try are waiting for a “ cloud by day ” or
“ a pillar of lire by night ” to guide them.
The general talk is against blunder, and
disposed to answer as a crime of deeper
dfe. The Senators and members who vo
ted for and sustained to the last the com
mission fraud, will find it difficult to ex
plain or excuse their conduct. Hill, Can
dler and Felton are much censured for
their abandonment of the filibusters in the
last struggle and they are as sure to be re
tired at the expiration of the term to which
they are elected, as the people remember
their perfidy. Mr. Hill's supporters are
not so enthusiastic as they were a month
ago, and some of his best friends begin to
think that the higher a man climbs the
more acce,ssable he is to the allurements of
modern politics. Wentworth.

Just before dinner yesterday a woman
living on Earned Street entered a Jefferson
Avenue grocery with snapping eyes, and
as she slammed a tin pail down on the
counter, hissed out:
“Mince-meat, is it? Why don't you
call it slop, or stuff, or lien feed?”
“ Yes. that is some of our mince-meat,”
replied the butcher, as he uncovered the
pail. “ I remember of your buying this
yesterday.”
•• I bought this hash for mince-meat!”
she exclaimed.
“ It is called mince-meat, madam.”
“ But it tastes like sawdust and pork
scraps chopped together!”
" l shouldn't wonder if it did ; but you
see most everybody understands that
ready-made mince-meat is simply a nucleus
to rally on. It is the foundation, as it
were. oY a good thing. You want to add
more meat, more apples, more raisins,
some brandy, some cider, a little cinnamon,
a few cloves, a sprinkling of sugar, a tritie
of spice, and you can't fail to have good
pies.”
“Then why not make my own mince
meat?” she shrieked.
“ Why not ? We keep it on sale simply
as an objective point to rally on.”
** Well, you and your whole caboodle of
clerks can rally on this half gallon,” she
firmly said, turning the pail upside down
on the counter.
“•Just as you desire madam,” was the
affable reply, and when she reached the
door and turned hack, the merchant still
wore the same kind and patient smile.
Just Like Himself.
‘•Why doesn't this tire keep up?” asked
a Chicago husband pettishly, as he pranced
around half dressed, and furtively poked
the stove grate, late one bitter morning.
” It’s so much like you !” piped out his
wife, from her warm bed.
“ Like me !” he exclaimed, stopping in
his work. ‘‘How so?”
“ Because,” said she, roguishly, ’‘it will
go out at night !”
He only mumbled something to himself,
and returned to his work.
