BENSON & McGILL, Editor*.
A. 0. McCURRY. Associate Editor.
Mi ki hy. the clerk that flgWtd in the
Northeastern Bonds business, has resign
ed. Good !
We hear it hinted that Gen. Toombs is
only god-father to the railroad articles in
the Constitution.
Wf. are in favor of allowing every pub
lic officer that desires to resign to do so—
resignations arc cheaper than impeach
ments.
Let the resignations go on ; we like them
better than impeachments. And there are
nine more (“ outs ”) standing at the door,
and they'll all take “ sugar” in them.
Our Associate, Hon. A. G. McCurry,
we are very sorry to say is still lying very
ill with typhoid fever and pneumonia.
Hopes are still entertained of his recovery,
l>ut it is a very doubtful case.
The Gainesville Eagle has seen a stone
which, if it were a diamond, would be
worth three hundred millions. Shucks !
if Stone Mountain wore a diamond your
little old rock wouldn't be worth a nicklc.
Comptroller Goldsmith made an at
tempt to resign in order to escape impeach
ment, but the Governor would not accept
his resignation. We think the Governor
did right—matters had gone too far in his
case for him to refund.
In our opinion the salary of the Treas
urcrof the State of Georgia is entirely too
small—s2,f>oo a year, with a bond of •200-
• 000 1 The man that will shoulder such re
sponsibility for such a salary must be
cither a knave or a fool.
Jeff Davis has been importuned to be
come a candidate for the Lnited States
Senate, but has written a sensible letter in
which he positively declines. This is just
what he should linvc done. His history is
already made up, and we doubt if an ad
denda would improve it.
We arc inclined to think, ltenfroc lias
been guilty of a misdemeanor; but if he
wants to refund and resign, we think he
ought to be allowed to do so. Notwith
standing his errors, he has been a good
Treasurer, and should not be disgraced—
besides impeachments coift too much.
A man on the top of Currahce Moun
tain. 41 views tb. l-^—p n '®r ' nnd
ines me constitution that the people of
North Georgia “ are clamorous for the se
lection of Hon. Ferdinand Phinisy for
Governor.” “Clam-orous,” are they?—
well, don't be too b-oystcr-ous about it.
The steamer, “ City of Tokoi,” with
its cargo of “dead-head ” (Gen. Grant) ar
rived in San Francisco. California, on the
20th. Flags were waved, big guns shot oil',
bells rung, and the usual hooray over the
arrival of an elephant in town. Now let
the Grant boom begin to roll—let ’er roll!
The case of Nelms, the principal keep
er of the Penitentiary, has been referred
to the Governor for action. It is left to
him to decide whether he has been guilty
of wrong doing and should be removed
from office. This leaves the Executive in
a very unpleasant dilemma. We opine
that he would much prefer that the Legis
lature should decide the matter.
Governor Colquitt has appointed W.
A. Wright, son of Gen. Kansc Wright,
deceased, to fill the unexpired term of
Comptroller Goldsmith. He has held a
subordinate position under Goldsmith and
is perfectly acquainted with the duties of
the office, and is a gentleman of high in
tegrity. Now let his salary be increased
to a sum commensurate to the responsibil
ity of his office.
Goldsmith has been impeached. The
last scene in the drama occurred Friday,
when Chief Justice Warner delivered the
humiliating sentence as follows :
The Howie of mid all the people of
Georgia vm. Washington L. Goldsmith, coiuptrol-
U‘V*fcenf>ral. Impeachment.
Whereas. it appears fi-om the record of the trial
hud in the above stated cam' now before the court,
that the defendant was guilty of the charges con
mined in the ttrmt. third, fourth, tilth, tenth, thir
teonth, fourteenth aud seventeenth article* of ini
peachment preferred against him hv the house of
representatives, and \wis found not guilty of the
charges contained in all the other articles where
upon it is considered, ordered and adjudged by the
high court of impeachment of the state of Georgia,
now here, that the defendant, the said W. L. Gold
smith, coniptroller-general of the said state of
Georgia, and he is nereby removed from the said
office of comptroller general, aud that the same In*
and iR hereby declared to be vacant, and that the
said \\\ L. Goldsmith be and is hereby declared to
lie disqualitied to hold and enjoy any office of honor,
trust or protit within the state of Georgia during
bis natural life.
Errata.
llolmi nd's Stoke, S. C., \
Monday, Sept. 22, 1879. /
Messrs. Enixous : I made a mistake,
sure enough, in giving you the dates on
which Sunday will fall, on the 29th of Feb
urary in the next century. The dates 1
rgave you were for the 21st instead of the
20th century. 1 made the calculation right,
hut discover that the mistake was made
in setting it down.
I have carefully revised my calculation,
and the following is the result, which any
schoolboy can verify by observing the rule
laid down in my former article: In the
Jicxt, or 20th century, the 29th of Febru
ary will fall on Sunday, in the following
years: 1920. 1948. and 197(5: and in the
,21st century, in 2004, 2032, 20(50. and 2088.
The year 2000 is a leap year, with 366 days.
J9OO has only 365.
I regret very much, Mr. Editor, giving
you this additional trouble; but if you
will excuse me, 1 promise not to trouble
you any more. Yours 4c..

Lumpkin Independent : A negro woman
in town, who is probably forty years of
age, has just finished digging a well upon
her lot which is between forty and fifty
feet deep. She secured a good stream of
water and then put the curbing in after
nailing it together. The well is a square
one, and sho brought the dirt out and used
it for the purpose of fertilizing her cotton.
This is the same woman who moved oil'
her house to another lot when it was levied
on by the Sheriff.”
The Anderson Journal says : We are
informed on the most reliable authority of
the following remarkable incident: Last
week a little white girl, living with Mrs.
Joe Neville, of Walhalla, felt a disagree
able buzzing in her ear. when Mrs. Neville
undertook to relieve it by pouring in a few
drops of sweet oil. When this was done
a common house fly made its appearance
from the orifice of the car. aud it was fol
lowed by others until sixty-four came out
by actual count. Being covered with oil
the flics were assisted out with a feather,
but how came them there is the question.
Atlanta Constitution : Probably no man
has ever been subjected to the public hu
miliation which has come upon the late
Comptroller-General and received so much
generous sympathy as he. Since the pub
lic have come to realizo the crushing char
acter of tho judgment passed upon him the
sorrow of his condition lias been almost
universal, and certainly genuine. Howev
er strictly just may have been the imposi
tion of the sentence, it has excited the pro
foundest pity for its victim. One fact may
here be mentioned to his credit. Since it
became evident during the progress of the
trial, that his conviction was certain he
has made forced sacrifice of many of his
most valuable interests and within the past
few days has paid into the Treasury up
wards of $12,000 in cash to balance every
charge for money that the State has claim
ed against him. lie has endeavored to
wipe out every dime of possible indebted
ness to the public Treasury and it is be
lieved that these payments do cover them
all, if not more.
On Our Host IMstnnl Frontiers,
As in our busiest and most populous cities
of the seaboard and interior, Hostetler's
Stomach Hitters is pre-eminently popular.
Wherever civilization plants its foot on this
continent, thither the great tonic soon finds
its way. Nor is this surprising, for it is
the medicine of all others best adapted to
the wants of the Western emigrant, be he
miner or agriculturist. It is an incompar
able remedy for the diseases to which he is
most subject, and which are liable to be
brought on by a change of climate, hard
ship, exposure, unaccustomed air and diet,
ana miasmatic atmosphere and water.
Among these are disorders of the stomach
and bowels, rheumatic ailments, and ma
larious fevers, for all of which llostetter's
Hitters is a certain specific. A course of
the Hitters before departing for the new
Held of labor, or on arriving, will have the
effect of preventing the evils for which it
is such a signal remedy.
