THE SUN. ' llllt IMI 1.1 .II %m HVI Y. UA.I n MlMMlt) . tif|ilflilbr 94, 1*79. 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.. Truth. Ladies, you cannot make fair akin, rosy cheeks ami sparkling eye* with all tltc cos metics ol Franc*, or BeautHiers of the world while in poor Health, and nothing wHI give you such good health, strength and buoyant spirits and beauty as Hop Bitters. A trial is certain proof. See another column. Condensed Milk Trow the Tress. There are 1002 post-offlecs in Georgia. Col. J. F. Langston, of Gainesville, died on the Oth. Judge Henry C.

Hull's Cough Syrup costs you only 25 cents, and if it uoes not cure your cough you can get your money hack. Ciiniining Clarion : Gen, Gartrell is al ready beginning to be complimented ns the next Governor of Georgia. If elected, thieves, peculators and speculators may stand aside. H. L. Stuart of New York, the gentle man who presented the State with the fine life-sixed portrait of Dr. Crawford Long, the discoverer of anaesthesia, died at the home of Dr. Long in in Athens last week, with paralysis. J. J. Dargan and Maj. Jas. 11. Earle, members of the South Carolina Legisla ture from Sumpter county, were arrested in Augusta on the 20th, dispatches having been received that they went there for the purpose of lighting a duel. Lookout that your nurses do not drug your little ones with laudanum, paragoric or other soothing remedies. Give them Dr. Bull's Baby Syrup, which innocent remedy is warranted not to contain opiates. The Sparta Ishmaelite says : The Legis lature should no longer he known as the General Assembly. True, a few of the members generally assemble. Neverthe less it ought to be known as the “ Recon sideration Department of the Circumlocu tion Office.” Jag. S. Jones, a young married man from Elbert county, entered H. C. Lynch’s store in Athens on the 17th, examined and priced a pistol, winch he requested to be tonded at once. On taking the loaded pis tol in his hand he placed it to his temple and fired, wounding himself mortally, lie was a step-son of Rev. L. W. Stephens. llv M M.V lubLII VU MUn lIVII, nlmiv nto M. mains were buried. No cause is known for the deed. 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. Need Cotton Wnntd.
