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. NoinetliliiK 1 to Bally On. Detroit Free Press. 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. Consistency. Augusta, Constitutionalist. ferry and Ben Hill walked arm in arm to the Capitol. Mr. Hill attracted a good deal of attention by a cordial hand-shaking when he met Blaine and old Simon Came ron in front of the Clerk’s desk.
