It is thought that the impeachment
trial of Treasurer Itenfroo will occupy

The Georgia negro, Hart, conies out

Georgia officials should resign and go to
walking. No investigations there.
It is said when an official steps up to
the bar in Atlanta and drops his dime on
i the counter, that he explains apologetical
ly to the suspicious bystanders that, “ 1
amassed that wealth before 1 came into
office.”
We notice that whenever a group discuss
' the Question, “ Who shall be our next
Governor?” on the streets, they generally
settle down on L. J. Gartrell, Esq., as the
t best man. This is no fancy sketch. As
for ourselves, we can find no good reason
why he should not be our next Governor.
He has the ability, and not a word or an
insinuation have ho heard against his high
character, cither public or private. And
this seems to be the prevailing opinion
•over the grenter part of Georgia.
It was rumored on the streets to-day
ihat Hon. A. G. McCurry, representative
.'from Hart, was dead. This rumor has
• been prevalent about the capitol for seve
ral days. Mr. McCurry has been critical
tdy ill for several weeks of typhoid fever.
•We sincerely hope the rumor is incorrect,
rtaiid tikaJt Mr. McCurry may bo spared to
• continue his usefulness to the State.
We clip the above from the Atlanta Dis
patch. And we are glad to say that Mr.
McCurry, although still quite ill, is much
better than he has been since his illness.
Indications now point to a speedy recovery,
and ere long we hope to hear the scratch

“Tom,” says he, "Colquitt ain’t no
more fitten to be Governor than a knock
kneed terrapin,” says he.
“ Bob,” says I, ain’t yer a little rough
on Colquitt," says I.
“ Rough the devil!” says he, “he ain’t
got the backbone of an eel,” says he.
’• them boys jess do what they please with

in his gizzard,” says he, ” to s*y his soul’s
his own,” ssys he.
“ Bob,” ssys I, “ what's he goin’ to do
’boutNelms?” ssys I.
” Well, they have aortcr got the preach
where the hair’s short.” ssys he, “an’ the
dish-dash old white choker can't edge out,”
says he. If Nelms resigns, that lets him
out," says he. “an’ if he don’t resign an’
Colquitt says he must go,” says he, “ then
Nelms’ll come back an’ he’ll make it
lively.” says he. “ Don’t yer see Grady

know old Bob, don’t yer? Got a head on
him like a boss.
Set ’em up again, barkeeper. I’m blind

’zactly what I’m doin’.
Saw Goldsmith jess now. I’m sorry for
that man, an’ I ain’t ashamed to say it—
by cracky, 1 ain’t. An’ its a dadblamed
shame them legislators done him like they
did. Ain’t a better man on earth than
Goldsmith, ’ceptin’ old Boh Toombs. Yer
know Bob. don't yer? lie’s the boss man
in old Georgia. Ilatc to see a man torn up
like Goldsmith. Ain’t nothin’ mean 'bout
the man, ain’t nothin' low down, ain't
nothin’ nobody can ’cuse him of. Them
lawyers who told him what to do. they
need a little jacking up. yer hear mo. He
done what they told him, and now see
where he is. Lawyers ain’t too good, no
how.
Struck old Renfroe. too, down the street.
They're goin’ to do him like they did Gold
smith. Hut did Renfroe steal anything?
Of course he didn’t, hut they want 'zani
pies ! ’Zamplcs! why the devil didn’t
they make these zamples long ago ? Ain’t
ail office in the United States that’s carried
on fair and square. Go anywhere an’

in America, by jacks ! Bob’s goin’ to be
next Governor! Said he wouldn’t run, but
I told him he had to do it.
“ All right, Tom,” says he, “ if you say
so,” says he.
Goin’ to make him Governor sure's yer
live. He’s got gum, be is. Ain’t no
preachin’ to niggers ’bout him. Aint no
trapesin’ ’round swappin’ lies with Sun
day-school bosses an’ lettin' twenty thotl
san’ dollar houses burn up without insu
rance. Ain’t no lettin’ fraud goin’ on un
der his nose an’ fraid to say stop it ’bout
him. Ain't no’pointin’strange men in a
hurry ’bout Hob. He's just the solidest
old coon there is in these diggins. an’ we’re
just goin’ to whoop him up if they don't
nominate some of them old good men like
Gartrell and Warner. Old Hob's got to
go in if the Dcinocrnts don’t hang up the
right man, an' don't yer forgit it. Come
let’s take some more—oh, yes, jess one
more !
Now what I want is Colquitt to resign.
Old Bob—you know old Bob—well, me an’
old Bob had a long talk, an’ old Bob told

Constitution : And here we have the
romance of a SSO bill ! Several years ago
Mr. Camp died and left a comfortable es
tate. Dr. E. J. Camp, now of Rome,
Georgia, was the executor of the estate.
A few weeks ago he noticed an advertise
ment in the ten cent column of the Atlan
ta Constitution asking for the administra
tor of the Camp estate, signed by no one,
but asking that the address be sent to the
Constitution. Mr. E. J. Camp advertised
his address. In a few days he received a
letter signed “Amos” and written in a
tremulous hand, enclosing a half of a fifty
dollar bill. The bill had been neatly clip
ped in two, and one half of it was sent.
The letter stated that the writer desired to
pay S6O to the Camp estate, and that as
soon as the receipt of the first half of the
bill was acknowledged, be would send the
other half. He asked that acknowledg
ment be made in the ten cent column of
the Constitution. Mr. Camp advertised as
desired, that the piece of the bill had been
received, and asked that the other half be
forwarded. The advertisement was put at
the foot of the column, but in a few days
Mr. Camp received another letter in which
was written : “ I inclose you the other
half of the fifty dollar bill.” Signed
"Amos.” Mr. Camp has no clue to the
sender of this money, or to the occasion of
it. He supposes that it comes from some
person who. during the life of Mr. Camp,
had defrauded him of this money, and who
took this secret method of returning it after
3'ears of remorse or penitence.

Georgia Corruption.
Abb*title Medium.
The situation in Georgia is interesting in
a political point of view. The first Legis
lature under the new Constitution is now
in session and has been for a considerable
time. It even promises to be as long as
the session of our own Legislature in 1877,
which gave occasion for so much unfavor
able comment by the “outs." The length
of the Georgia session is not its principal
feature, but the most astonishing develop
ments of fraudulent practices by the Dem
ocratic State officials are being made. The
Comptroller General has been impeached
and found guilty of malfeasance rivaling
in iniquity, anything done by Bullock or
our own carpet-baggers. The Treasurer
is also being investigated and the prospect
is that he will fare no better. The Super
intendent of the Penitentiary has been
handed over to the Governor for investiga
tion and to be dealt with as his case may
require. Before this thing is through it is
likely as much corruption will be exposed

It shocking to think that such things

of such men ? Who is to be trusted with

In Georgia it seems that neither Demo
