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 Augusta. 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 which way the wind blows, whe I her to or from tbo Celestial K motion* Hahd Story.—’l he I»ni«vi!le (Gal Courier ip individually and editorial!’ responsible for this, flow the people o Jefferson cun allow him to run at large is a wonder. Were he in Henry well, in order to get rid of him he would be sent to the Legislature : They »’v a man walked into the Herald office at Swainsboro the other dav, siting n hu.-e or.oher on the table and exclaimed * Herald for one year !" The i d ; tor snvlinglv entered his name on the hook, raked the big gnphet into the drawer and threw the sub scriber buck two little gophers for change 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. Look Our. Mr. A. A . Mc\ icker is mad, as is indica ted in the rejoinder prepared lor him by an unknown friend, and fraudulently placed over bis (A. V ’s) signature. 'lhis note of warn ing is uot intended to alarm men. or even big boys ; but helpless children and old mules had better hideout until his wiath be overpassed In his feverish haste he made a broad mis take when he said l could fi d shelter no where else.

And last of all. he has invited me to this newspaper conte-t, and while I couftss that it is L ther an entertaining bnsjness.

I)—that is, Donkey Driver. I shall, as a matter of course, expect to have his imprecations follow me to the eud of the journey. But I am digressing, and must return to my text. He says ‘Mr Hill is a brave man.” This I deny, for a brave man would not no tice him It is not necessary for me to deny 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 claim to be a popular teacher, for no one has flattered me except Mr. A V., who said, af ter his children had attended my school for two terms, that no teacher bad ever advanc ed th* in so fast 'I bis he said to many oth 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 dent tenant. I concede to every landholder the right to govern and direct his tenants ae cording to the best interests of each party.

Let both laudlord and leoaui remember that they have u Mas ter above them, and when men learn to re spect each other io their various relation-hips iu life, we shall have peace without confu •ion. 1 should like to -uy more iu reference to our obligations to each other, but cauuot ask lor space at this time. H. 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.” New Advertisements.
