Georgia, r<n«l What She Is.
While this article is being written, the
great exposition of Georgia’s resources, bo'h
agricultural and mechanical, is in progress.
And whntevtr impression this exhibition
may mnke upon outsiders, it will be a soiree
of profound congratulation that every true
Georgian can say—‘There’s life in the old
land yet."
fn other and perhaps more favored sec
tions of the country, where the population is
more nuni'rous, and where grrater facilities
ore at command, the chances for display are
of course much better. In the great Slates
of the West and Northwest it is an easy
thing to arrange for an elaborate exhibition
of slock, mechanical and agricnltnrkl imple
ments, and the products of u bandied other
industries. To these State's the world is
opeo. They can drnw from nnv quarter all
they desire, and hence their Fairs are char
acterized by vastnesi in numbers, superiority
of quality and elaboration of display which
it were folly for States or Societies of smaller
pretentions to try to imitate. But in these
there is an exhibit that does not always tell
the truth. The West, with its imm.nse
stme-honses, its vast slaughter-pens, aud its
illimitable giairt fields, is lucking in many
essential things. Thi9 is just the case with
us. But after all, our people have the abil
ity to do much. They are doing a great
deal in the way of developing our resources
and bringing to light the rich treasures
which our teeming self yields so bountifully.
Inde.d, it Is a source of pride to every
Georgian, no matter in what part of the
globe he may tie, to know that there is no
retrograde movement here ; that tli9 noble
old commonwealth is coining up, step by
step, to be fully equal to herself in ante
bellum times; that all her industries are
prospering; ad her fine energies in full
pluy ; her prospects bi ight, and Ihe star of
her destiny grandly in the ascendant.
This State Fair, therefore, is but an ex
hibit, as is the cash-book of a prosperous
film. It is but tbe shadowy outline of a
Stute whose mountains and hills are sources
of wealth, und whose valleys and plains yield
a good return to the toiler. It is an indi
cation that when the occusion demands there
can be diowu forth the fruits of industry
from all her children ; lliut uot only her
noble sons, but her lovely d.ughters—unused
they may bo to toil—art: willing to offer
their handicraft to the general fund of rich
contributions laid upon her altars.
These are some of the advantages possessed
by our good old State. May all her indus
tries grow and prosper, und may all her
people flourish as a green bay tree.
Mr. Stephen*.
Thk Weekly stands by its record io
regaid to this distinguished Georgian. But
his political opinions are one thing, his per
sonal qualities another and quite a different
thing. While, therefore, opposing many of
his views, we rejoice that his health is im
proving. However much he is wrong in
some things, it will be a snd day for Georgia
when the sod is placed upon his manes.
We give this (rota the Augusta Chronicle :
\\ e are pleased io know that our honored
and distinguished Representative, Hon.
Alex H. Stephens, is in lair health. He is
now enjoying the quiet and res’ ol Liberty
Hall. He has traveled extensively North
and West since the adjournment of Congress
Daring his absence from the Stale he has
been ihe recipient of marked attention,
prominent Republicans and Democrats in
Northern and Western cities vieing with
eaeh other to do honor to the great Com
moner. Mr. Stephens’ statesmanship is as
broad as the republic itself. His patriotism
is bounded by no lines. It embruces the
whole country. Hence the respect enter
tained lor himself and his opinions even
among those w> o differ with him politically.
In a short rime be will leave lor Washing
ton, but before going North he will spend
several days in Savannah and Augusta. lie
will be cordially welcomed by the citizens ol

A Truth. — \Y butever may be sold of
Henry \\ urd Beecher, oue thing is certaiu
—he can get at the base of a fact, or prin
ciple, with as much facility asouybody wbeu
be tries. Here is oue of his latest shots. It
is printed to show bow near the truth eveu
a bad man can get when be allows his better
nature to assert itself:
“If men will not attend the primaries and
see that their parties do not disappoint
them, they can blame no one because they
themselves neglect to take the step. It tronr
indolence, preoccupation, prejudice, or any
other reason, they do not care enough about
affairs to briug them to pass by the natural
way of creating a sentiment iu the conven
tion or party, they should ut least have
modesty enough not to attempt to overrule
Ihost who have taken the pa.us uud have
done this work."
A volume of truth iu a small compass.
Men act as above described, uud in their
disappointment ruu off ulter strange gods.
That’s what’s the matter.
New York. —Tilden, Cornell and Kelly
are all busy in stirring up tht voters ol New
York. Coruell is working silently; Kelly
is niakiog a great fuss, uud TiWeu is pursu
ing about the same tactics that lost him the
Presidency. Robinson is doing nothing.
The result will be in favor of Cornell.
Almost Unanimous — At the late election
in California the vote on the Chinese immi
gration question stood as follows: For,
883; against, 154 638—a clear majority of
153,755. This certainly will serve to show

A Reunion.— A grard reunion of soldiers
who had been in hnth armies, was recently
had in Salisbury, N. C. Ten thousand men
wrre in the procession. Addresses were
made by Gov. Jarvis, Senator Var.ce and
others, all in favor of peace and good will
between the North end the South. There
was a grand barhecue. and a magnificent
display of fireworks. It was a good time all
ronod.
Mr. Hill.— Mr. IliliV interest in New
York politics does not seem to abate. He
is anxions to throw oil upon the troubled
waters of that pool. This is all well enongli;
but were he to expend a little 0 bis fine
talent in calming down the somewhat disu
nited elements here at home it would redound
more to his credit. At least, that is our
opinion.
Ended —Sunday morning’s telegrams
gave the announcement that the epidemic in
Memphis hud ended. A falling temperature
for sevrrul days, with two good frosts, justi
fies the Bor.rd of Health in saying that the
epidemic of 1879 is at an end, ond no danger
need be apprthendid by those desiring to
return to the city. This will be good news
to everybody.
Editorial Chit-Chat.
Senator Dimming will have tube exceed
ing keen to show up a good case iD explain
ing bis coarse in the Renfroe matter. It is
rather a close job to vote a muu innocent
when he avows his own guiit.
Some one hus'sturted the rumor that “Old
Si” is a candidate for a seat in the Common
Council of Atlanta. We think it “Si” time
he was permanently auchored to something.
His occupation of lute has beeo so general
and miscellaneous in character that it is with
extreme difficulty his friends cao locate him.
Senator Cummino, whoso warmly advo
cated Reufroe’s cause, and finally voted for
bis ucqi>iitul, has been busy since the Legis
lature adjairued trying to explain to bis
constituents why ha did so. And it i
worthy of remark that his constituents are
rather obtuse ou this point.
AVe call attention to an able article in
this issue, taken from the Atlanta Dispatch,
which, wholly free from all false sentiment
treats of the Renfroe mutter in a way that
is at once sensible aod just. There is no
doubt that the article in question expresses
the views of three-fourths of the people in
the Stute.
One of the most effective supper table
ornaments at the Bi-lmont bull was an
allegory representing Grant receiving the
scroll of Fume from Victory at the door of
the Temple of Liberty. And yet a San
Jose editor went home foil of Roederer, soft
shell crabs, mashed ice, and things, and
referred to it as "a humorous composition,
depicting a ticket seller keeping deudbeuds
out of a circus with a ten-pin.”
Thousands of young men leave France
and Germany every year for the purpose of
avoiding service in tbe army. In France*
the term of set vice is five years, and the
government is now seriously considering
whether it would not be advantageous to the
country to reduce the term to two years.
Such a change would certainly ktep tnuny
young men at home who now emigrate to
this country. The proposed ehange meets
with the hearty approval of the masses of
the people.

But I am digressing, and must return to

This I deny, for a brave man would not no

arming myself with a “club axe,” for any one
muy know that I would not be so simple as
to go for him with a short bundle club axe
without a ladder. I never did it. Nor do I

flattered me except Mr. A V., who said, af
ter his children had attended my school for

ers us well as to myself. Nevertheless, Ido
not claim to be a good teacher. I did admit
some children free last yeur, not knowing
that it was a crime, and I have promised
three oipliao children a free terra next year;
and yet 1 do not claim to be popular, even
among the children, but I tbiuk that I am
respected by them.
lie aguiu shows his lack of good sense by
saying that 1 proposed to prove my asser
tions by those named in my last article A
fool would know that I only referred to
luern as gentlemen with whom I wus willing
to risk my reputation iu case any one should
desire to consult them.
Finally, he says, “I warn Mr. Hill to con
fine him-elf to the truth ” This means that
the decree has gone forth from King Mc-
V’tcker, stamped with the impress of bis
majesty’s power; hut I am not under his do
minion, and hope he may not extend his ju
risdiction over me again. Notwithstanding
all this, 1 uni not an insubordinate or impu

Precedent, lguoiauce, and Res
titution.
[Atlanta Dispatch.]
The papers assailing the action of tlft
House of Representatives and of the majority
of the Senate in the Renfroe impeachment
Case, base their defense of the Treasurer
upon three propositions :
1. That he had precedent and authority
for appropriating the interest on the State’s
deposits to the personal benefit of himself and
his sureties, in the case ot Angier, who was
specially relieved from the penalty of doing
the same tiling by an act of the Legislature.
2 That he was ignorant of a later pro
vision of the constitution, which not only
repeated the prohibition, but took it out of
the power of the LegLlature to excuse a
disregard of it.
3. t hat he i ffered to restore the interest
which be had unlawfully received, but the
House rejected the offer.
'I he three facts above stated,-they contend,
show that though he hsd violated the law,
lie did not do so corruptly, and therefore did
uot deserve impeachment.
Now, id the first place, it would puzzle
these j lurnals to cite any provision of the
Constitution or laws which limits im each
meut to acts ot “corruption.’’ It will hardly
be contended, we suppose, that the Legisla
ture has uot the power to remove by im
peachment a Treasurer who habitually m ikes
such arrangements in regard to the public
funds that thousands of dollars are anuually
lost to the State which ought to go iuto the
treasury ; nor do we think that anybody can
convince the people that the Legislature
ought not to remove the Treasurer for such
eou.iuet. even by impeachuieut if necessary.
But they offered to make restitution, and
the House ought to have accepted the ofLr.
Perhaps, if the House considered that its
first and chief duty was to get rid of the
trial as cheaply as possible and to recover
back as much as it certainly could of the
interest unlawfully taken, that might have
been the safest course. Bui the same rea
soning would call lor a compromise of that
kiiul with every person accused of trover or
wrongful conversion ; economy of expeuse
and the certainty of recovering something
would be subserved by it 'lhe House,
however, considered it its duty to euforcc the
law more sternly. The proposition of resti
tuuou did not embruce tbo whole §22,000
uulawlully withheld from the treasury, but
ouly a little over out-quarter ol it, and it
was coupled with conditions that would have
made it difficult, if not impossible, for the
Stale to recover another dollar. It was a
qaestiou which the members of the House
might well raise whether they bad any right
thus to compound with bad administration.
So far as respects the action ol the House,
fbe Senate never bad the proposal of resti
tution before it at all, for u had beeu with
drawn, and the impeachment trial could not
properly have beeu at all aff.cted by it, airy
more tuau tbe offer of a defendant iu a critu
lual case in a corn t, alter it had beeu re-
Jecied by tbe Solicitor, could be plead bdore
But they sav (after its absurdity ha** been
exposed) that th* l plea of ignorance of the
law was not made hy way of justification,
but that this plea and the offer to make
partial restitution relieved the offense of the
lamt of ‘ corruption ” This, too, is a new
principle of law. which it would not do to
apply to the cases ol common offenders. It
is very difficult In prove corruption except
by the nature of the ucl. If Ihe State were
required to adduce other proof than the act
itself to convict any accused partv of a cor
rupt intent, convictions _ would be rare
indeed.
Tbe Savannah News makes some perti
nent remarks on these points, which we
copy • ‘-That Renfroe did wrong there is
no question ol doubt. No matter if, as his
friends allege, he did have a precedent in
the case of Treasurer Angier, whose similar
acts were sanctioned by a former Legisla
ture, he violated one of the fondant- ntal
principles of law, and one of whieb he could
not possibly have been in ignorance. Every
tyro in law, who has read tbe first vol
time of Blackstone’s commentaries, knows
perfectly well that it is a settled principle
of our fundamental law that all profits which
arise from funds iu the hands of a trustee
belong only to tbe cestui que trust, aod not
in the remotest degree to the trustee. Mr.
Renfroe as State Treasurer, is simply tbe
tru-tee of the Stale, uDd whatever moneys
come into his custody are trust lands. It
is, therefore, as piain as that two and two are
four that tbe profits arising, in any way,
from these funds are the property of tbe
State and no one else, uud when he applied
them to his own use he appropriated the
State’s money. That is the whole of the Ren
froe case in a nut shell, and though perhaps
the precedent of Angler’s case, the facts be
hail always scrupulously accounted for tbe
principal of State funds in his hands, ar.d
that he ceased u-ing the State’s interest after
the ratification ot (be new constitution,
which in emphatic terms prohioils such prac
tices, might have been u-cJ as arguments for
mitigating his sentence, he certainly should,
in our opinion, have been convicted. Other
Slates have turned out their officers for less
offences. Only a few yeais since, Hon.
William I’. Burdett, State Treasurer of
West Virginia, wus convicted and ousted
from office for uu offence similar to, but-fiven
less flagrant than that of Mr. Renfroe By
the laws of that State, the public moneys
are to be placed in regularly and legally de
signated depositaries, and the State requires
interest on such deposits of three per cent.
I’reasurer Burdett accounted to the State
lor every dollar ol principal aud interest
legally due, but because he accepted a bonus
ol about twelve bundled dollars from ODe of
those legal depositaries, as an inducement to
him to place a larger sum of money in cus
tody than he might otherwise have done, be
was impeached aud removed from office,
though the disqualifying clause of his sen
tence was remitted.”
