Goldsmith's Sbstrkcb.—Tbe following is u copy of the sentence pronounced in the Goldsmith cose : Tbe House of Representative* end all the people of Georgia, vs. Washington L. Goldsmith, Comptroller General, ta pes eh meat. A'be res*, it appears from the record of tlie trial bad in tbe above stated case sow Wore tbe court, that the defendant was gailty of the charges contained in tbe first, third, lonrtb, filth, tenth, thirteenth, and seventeenth articles of tbe impeachment pre ferred againat him by tbe House of Repre sentatives, ami waa found not guilty of the charges contained ia tbe other articles; whereapon it ia considered, ordered and ad- by the high court of impeacbme. t ol the State of Georgia, now here, that tbe defendant, tbe eaid W. L. Goldsmith. Comp troller General of the said State of Georgia, and b« is hereby removed from tbe said < ffice •f Comptroller General, and that the same Wa and is hereby declared to be meant, and Hrat tbe sajd W. L. Goldsmith be and is hereby declared to be disqualified to hold and enjoy say office of honor, trust or profit within tbe State ol Georgia daring bis JStQral llte. 19,h 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 tbe ftrat stooe. A Piaoiarist. —Hays the Atlanta Du patch : “A moog tbe many statesmanlike and meaning sayings of Robert Toombs, nooe carries greater weight or deeper principle than the followiag: ‘Gold, in its lost analy sis, ia but tbe sweat of tbe poor.’ " Where upon tbe Aagssts Chronicle robe up its memory and identifies the saying us having originated with Lacien Bonaparte, ia tbe following words : ' Gold, ia its last analysis. 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 — f From the s'andpnint used, “contention” o•* ooly been found on the .one part. Ttn re ha* beeo nothing cnntenti'Ki* ammg the others. And tliere is no contention iir ffr* | 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, political or refithuf*. The extreme clearness (?) of our frirnd * virion ia now remarked hy almost all who know him. I* “eeme that hut a short while Sack he could only *ee script oral things, a* ‘though a gl»«*. darkly:” *"d but a lew Bhort he k*nt hi# ftiMf#! fl’d ®nil encouragement to the cause of "esn«tic” sneaking, end the profanation of things holy, 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." Henry County, Sept. 20th, 1879. Stocltbridg* Notes.
