The latpeaciiiarnt of the Comp
troller. > 1
The high court of impeachment has found
Mr. Goldsmith guilty of malpractice in office,
and now he will grncefofly step down and
out.
H iving been somewhat fifinmf fir defend
ing this gent 'em,in candor compel* it* to say
a few Word* in nnr own defense. We have
never adopted it as a role to believe a man
to be guilty because he was accused of
wrong-doing. To the contrary we have
always been disposed to give a nun the
benefit of whatever doubt existed, and even
after conviction we have often heen leloctant
♦o condemn, for, while the verdict of a jury
'i» taken nr nn infallible proof of guilt or in
nocence, it ha* frequently turned out, when
much too late, that the accused was the
wrong man in the wrong place.
Wg thought, honestly, that Mr Goldsmith
was not only innocent of the charges against
him, hat that he would have na trouble In
proving himself so. But ft seems we were
mistaken, and pretty badly so at that. If thl«
impeachment business is to he taken as a test,
we could have done ourself far more credit by
defending Bollock or any of his henchmen.
And yet we are slow to take the verdict of
even this high court a* absolute law and
gospel. TV're fa a bare possibility that
even this angost tribunal may have made a
mountain from a mole-bill. Legislator* and
judges anJ juror* can be mistaken some
times.
We believed Mr. Goldsmith innocent, and
ssid so. W( are far from believing him
now to be a had man, even with the ringing
sound of many voices saying * outitt.’* in
our ear*. And we are disappointed in the
result of this trial. But we accept it as a
finality, and can only hope for better luck
next time. The old saw—“what cant he
cured must he endured”—comes to our relief,
and is a good consoler in this onr time of
tronble. Mr. Goldsmith can have ns a brim
for hit wounded feelings the consolation that
almost every man connected with the State
government will be impeached, or should be.
Seriously, this fa a bad business. But
when we reflect thnt the great State of
Georgia, in its pitiful salaries, offers a pre
mium for crime, it is not surprising that even
high officials are compelhd to rommlt "acts
that are dark ar,d tricks that are vain” in
order to defray the expense of living. Men
in < ffice must live as well ns those out of it.
Give these officers a salary corresponding to
their responsibility and they will not have
the temptation to rlo wrong We are a*
much in favar of retrenchment and reform as
any one, but we do not like to see it take the
direction of niggardliness.
Meo seek office, oftentimes, In utter ignor
ance of its cares and responsibilities. They
never, or rarely, consider the anxieties the
occupant of high official poeitioo has. All
they desire fa to obtain what to them fa a
glittering pr»e, radiating with pleasures and
scintillating with untold prosperity. But
when obtained—especially if it be the Comp
trollership or the Tressnry of Georgia— they
find about at much emolument in it as there
fa ssid to be taste in the fruit along the
shores of the Dead Sea. Here io Georgia it
is perfect felly for a man of moderate means
to run for any office connected with the State
Qovernm-nt. Experience proves it will
bankrupt both hi* honor and his pockel.
Men only with big fortune* are eligible for
these high positions of trust Think of a
msu getting f 2 000 salary, and giving a
8200,000 bond! Does this not wink, to say
the least, at trickery! Goldsmith did not
enter into a bond for that amount, but Ren
froe did ; and both these office-loving aspir
ants are pow under the blackest sort of a
cloud. Hereafter botk will be sadder, poorer
and wiser. .
Id conclusion, if a certain bull tagging
Georgian, to whom was given tbe credit of
“running” the late constitutional convention,
and whose sayings are printed because they
are considered wise and witty, had exercised
a little more wi-dom or wit in the making
up of tbe salaries of our public officers, this
wholesale impeachment nastiness would
probably never have occurred
This manner of reasoning may not be
commended by persons of high moral ideas,
bat its sound argument, nevertheless, and as
such is entitled to some consideration at the
hands of thoee whose duty it is to look after
the interests of oar much abused old State.
Go AhbaDc— While wa write, tbe signs
in Atlanta are that tbe impeachment fever
wiU become epidemic That's right. Now
that tbe only man ia the State Government
that Thr WattKLV baa defended is gone, it
goes into tbe business with a dsotre to aweep
oat tbe last one of them, sod is for so entire
change in all the offices. Go it hnpeachers!
—strike white ia tbe bamor. and let no one
escape. Only let him that is ioooeeat oast

Commissioner Janes- Resign*.
The Court itu/ um of WedntAduy contains
the letter of resignation of Thomas P Janes.
Commissioner of Agriculture, which is as
follows:
To His R*eet'“a« , y Alfred Fl.’ Colquitt.
Governor of Georgia : f have been reliably
informed that the opposition to the Depart -
m*-nt of Agriculture. and the demand for its
abolition, which ha« found expression in
various form*, fa, to a large extent, has d
npon personal opposition to myself, and be
lieving. a* I dn. that such opposition will
not onlv impair my nsefulne** a* the head of
the department, but s-riowsly endanger its
exis’enee ; believing, (on, that the abolition
of the department ** this time would be a
calamity to the farmers ol Georgia and the
best interest* of the State, I am not willing,
even seemingly, to be an obstacle to fhe
advancement of these IntenMtg. Notw’th
standing my convictions that I l»ve laitb
fully discharged my duties to the beat of my
skill and abil tv, in a work so new. without
example or precedent, errors of judgment
and mistakes in the exercise of a very wide
dteere.tion may have heen committed. > • r -
In view of these fact*. I have concluded
that it is my duty to resign my position.
1 therefore respectfully tender my resigna
tion. absolutely and unqualifiedly, of the
office of Commissioner of Agriculture, to
lake tfleet at such time as yea mwy signify
your acceptance of the same.
Thomas P. Janrs.
Governor Colquitt accepted the resigna
tion, and immediately appointed Mr. J. T.
Henderson, of Covington, to fill the unex
pired term.
Alluding to this gentleman’s eligibility,
the CcmMitution adds;
•’Colonel Henderton. we believe. wb« an
applicant npon a former occasion, and at
that time hfa acceptability to a very large
bodv of the people was shown by the full
and hearty endorsements extended to him in
all parts of the State. Hi* appointment fa
deem"d a happy one, a* he is a gentleman
of fine intelligence, well versed in agricul
tural uffiirs. and fully able to administer the
bureau to the yery best advantage for the
people.”
Grant Once Morn.— ln view of the fact
that Gen. Grant fa a central figure just now,
and hi* words are important, we give below
what is said of him and hfa obj-cts by one
who knows him well. The reader will, of
course, draw his own conclusion* :
‘‘General, dn von think Grant has any
desire to be President sgiin ?” asked a re
porter ot General Sherman.
“I am sure he ha* not,” rpplied General
W. T. “He would like to have em'dov
ment, bnt he doe* not want to be ihe Presi
dent of the United States. I know him
well. We correspond, and I know he wants
to get into bnsines# so. as to he ahlp to make
money He would like to have the ywesi
denry of a railroad company or something of
that sort.” , •.*
A Solid South —This ?« n sound of hor
rible import in Northern ears now. but it
was not always so. They hid no objection
to 'he solid Month in the Forty first L'on
eres*. T n that body they had twenty-two
Southern Sanntors and the Democrats had
only two ; and they had fitly-two ol the
sixtv-three Southern represenolives admitted
But they were not Sou 1 hern representatives
in fact. They were interlopers and intrud
ers.—Miiu<tipi Clarion.
With a “solid South” and a President
fairly chosen, no matter from what section
he may come, the country would prosper
beyond af! precedent That fa evident.
“Peace sun kers.”
Mr. Editor: —ln looking over yonr paper
of Angnat 29th, I see an article over the
signature of oer worthy county surveyor,
Mr. B»ndifer, in whieh he arrogates the po
sition of “peacemaker" in the recent issues
betw-en Messrs. Zip, Ziph, J. M. Thurman,
and J. L Adams
Well. *• Blessed are the peacemakers," was
the utterance of one whose tale mission on
earth was “peace and good will toward men,"
and certainly triend Sandifer can not engage
in a more God-like work than that of en
deavoring to emulate the example then set
forth It should lie considered no small or
unworthy thing to make the power we have
within us the source of other men’s joy; to
scatter sunshine where only clouds and shad
ows move; to fill ihc atmosphere where
earth's tired toilers stand, with pence, joy
and brightness It is a great bounty and
blessing to hold the royal gifts of soul, so
that they shall be music to some ami fra
grance to others, and life to all 1 But when
these “roval gifts” are so controlled that
their beneficence is all one-tidtd ; that their
“fragrance and mime" follow in the foot -
steps of one man, or set of men. the great
ness and beauty of the “bounty and blearing”
becomes very questionable
We said “he arrogates the position of
peacemaker,” etc., in speaking of Mr. San
difer’s article regarding Z p, Zuph, Thurman
and Adams; and if it is not arroflutioo.
plain and unadulterated, we fail to find a
proper application of that term ; for of the
entire series of articles published at the in
stance of the parties named, be f;sda room
for criticism and condemnation of the spirit
and language of but one person—J. L.
Adams. The royal gifts of soul, the music
and fragrance, ar ,if silence indicates any
thing. cast over the others as mantles of ap
probation.
flow, why this partiality T Why this ten
der favoritism? Whv no allusion to the
••caustic” language of Zp, Zuph and J. M
Thurman ? Nay. why, if our worthy friend
feel* called upon to act as general umpire or
mediator extraordinary, has he failed to
point out the “eaisttc,” bitterly rautfre and
viadtctive tirade of Jntm G Coldwell against
Bev J. M Ammons? There was excellent
ground for him to exercise his takut as
“peacemaker," indeed
But, Is peacemaking the object that eo
grosses the mind of oar friend ? His he no
• axe to grind ?" If not, why ia bis vision
so contracted that he can only see errors on
one side of a metier that seem* plain enough
jto hia neighbors ? He quotes largely from
! St. Paul, oat we are not so sore that the
I venerable apoetle would lee I at all honored
—

heart of friend S. Oh ! no£ nor has there
been sinoe he first presented himself as a
snpplicant for public favor—a» least no con
tention against the popular ttrfir of iwy hoo*e,

The extreme clearness (?) of our frirnd *

if the manufacture and sale nl liquid poison,
to rte«) men’s brains and -make brutes of
husbands, fathers and brothers, causing them
to curse nod wrangle and he contentious
with.all around them, has that effect. That
he is. “afrakt of war” seems about the one
thing upon which his mental vision remains
in itatu quo.
• Now. we like Sandifer. We Toted for
him. Bot we were not aw«-e that he had
nifanmed the garb of any particular church
qr sect. Is it his intent to ascend the steps
of the sacred desk ? If *o. we are anxious to
hgar him expound bis creed, and that with
out contention.
Bot a friend suggests that Robert fa not
exactly on the sacred order of things just
now, *nd mildly insinuates that he is again,
or soon will he. a supplicant for public furor,
and bases hfa ideas npon the clearness (?) of
vision exhibited ip the criticism of what is
considered the “weaker ve=sol.” numerically
speaking. The word Methodist fa, he says,
one of large understanding—or misunder
standing. There are many hranebee of the
Methodist tree, bot the masses generally re
gard them n(l a* one. And their rotes in
onr good county aggregates a nice total.
Thnt added to the liquor-making and I quor
selling vote and influence, is worth tar more
than the little “Oamphelltte” support that
might follow in the wake ol peacemaking
efforts on the “other side of the house. ” “The
string* to some men’s hearts run through
their nurse*.”
This is written in no spirit of partisan
criticism, but in order that friend 3. m»y
“see himself as other* see him;" and that he
may have an opportunity to “rise and ex
plain” as to which horse be tide*. Il he
strides the Methods steed, we have no
complaint to mike, bot cheerfully and
heartily bid him Hod-speed, for we are no
stickler for cteed or name ; but if office is
wlmt he wants, let him come out on the
broad platform of freemen’s right*, religion*
ns well as political, and whatever petsonal
merit he m»v possess, and trust to the in
telligence and fairness of nn enlightened
public for the consummation of his ends.
Again, we are not an apologist for Mr
Adams. When in error, we will heartily
endorse the severest criticism and censure.
He a« well ns all men assuming the position
of public instructors, and that on the “greot
««t theme that has ever attracted the
though’* of men,” can not be too careful of
' their utterances, oral ur written. But. to
n<e an ’inpolite expression, “give the devil
bis due. and for all mankind Falkslat."

of a “stump-sucker.’’ He hitched the afore

his suet ion pipe on t he centre of the axle and
began to suck, and with such force that in
a short time the axle was sprung and both
