THE STATETHEaSYEY, THE STATE HOAD, AC. Tho following from our Atlanta ex changes, tho Constitution ami Suit, in regard to affairs at Stato headquar ters, will not bo without interest to our readers. May not these disclosures that are being made from time to time, of fraud, wrangling, etc. betweon offi cials cause every one to resolve to put forth every effort to bring tho perpe trators to punishment, and finally rid our State of such officials The Con stitution publishes the following com ments and ordor from the State Treas urer : The following notice by Treasurer Angier to the effect that ho will not pay ary warrants on the State Treas urer except on the civil establishment and special appropriation, unless signed by a resident Governor, is a right move, and necessary to the protection of the State Treasury as well as his own official safety. Governor Bullock is off junketing nil over tho country. Rumor has it that a private individual, gravely ini •licated in public matters of a ques- U ' ;iTe-ftUwacter, is acting Governor. this °i facts tho Treas urer has taken this*sfepl; Verily we have come to a f&'h pass in State mutters. The Radical coil!”* dy of misrule is playing with a ven geance. The broadest farce of recon struction is now on tho stage. The harlequin gads abroad, and the bells jingle merrily, and the State lias a fes-' live time over tho jolly pranks in the Executive Chamber. NOTICE.

L. Anuiku, State Treasurer. TUF. STATE ROAD. Tho same paper gives an account of the arrest of tho Commissioners ap-| pointed to revise tho hooks of the road at the instance of C. P. McCalla, and adds : The State Road investigation waxrs lively. The legal proceedings insti tuted against tho three highly res pectable gentlemen, Messrs. Red wine, Rawson and Ilammork, by Mr. Mc- Calla, for certain papers in their pos session, found among tho State Road documents and alleged to be McCal la’s private papers forms a nice little episode, that may amount to nothing or something. « These papers are important, chiefly as showing that Mr. McCalla has been after 20 per cent, of tho State Road fraud.}, and proposes a division with Major Hargrove; and that Mr. Ben Conley, of the Board of State Road Commissioners, was willing for tho contract to be made, so far as ho had authority. Whether it is right for the State to pay this 20 per cent to sala ried men is a question. Whether tho Board of Commissioners meant to give McCalla largo fees for investigating and unearthing matters on the boohs, which his official position gave him hnowlodge of, is another question.— Whether this is a test question over unimportant papers that may, if suc cessful, embolden an attempt to get other and more important papers in tho committee’s hands as private pa pers is still another question. Wheth er this movement of Mr. McCalla was a big speculation to make a round sum that the State is entitled to, and which the State’s officers, if vigilant, could get, is still another matter. One thing is very certain, and that is, tha; no papers connected with tho transaction in any way are private pa pers. The public has a right to them all, and tho effort to withdraw them from the committee’s possession creates a suspicion in the minds of the impar tial. The idea very naturally arises that something is behind that will not bear scrutiny. FOSTER BEOBGETT. This individual is mad with the Sun , and quotes a great deal of poetry try ing to prove his innocence and a dis position on the part of that paper to taunt Those poetic and pathetic com plaints are made through tho columns of the Era, to w hich the Sun replies in part as follows: The people of this State intend to have answers to such questions as the following: Ist. How is it, that instead of pay ing a half million of dollars or more into the Treasury- of the State, from the earnings of the Road, the said Foster Blodgett not only paid nuthiug into the Treasury, but had the unpar allelled impudence to ask tho Legisla ture to appropriate a half million of dollars to put the Road in repair ; and still more, left the Road in debt very nearly, if not fully, a quarter of a mil lion of dollars, to bo paid out of tho people’s pockets ? (This last item, we believe, was mentioned by him as a’ bigjoko.) > _ | ltd. How is it. that most ot those who j were connected with the Road under his administration, nppeared, at first, to bo poor as church mice, but seem suddenly to have become rich, and now appear to be rolling in wealth, and nro impudently and defiantly flaunting their fine horses, carriages, houses, dressing and money-bags, in the faces of the impoverished taxpay ers ol Georgia 'i These are two of tho questions which llie people of Georgia intend to have answered. IV, ter, can you taco tho music ? Gen. Wade Hampton has written a litter to Gen. J> 11. Hill, in which he advises against sending delegates to he National Democratic Convention next year for the following reasons : First. The Southern delegates in a National Convention could experience no influence in shaping tho policy, making up the issues, or selecting can didates for the next contest, without injuring the prospect of tho Demo cratic triumph. That tliis would inev lably bo tho case, is proven by the re sult of the last Democratic Convention where tho very presence of tho South erners was used to prejudice tho ac tion and defeat of tho candidates of our party. Second. If tho Southern delegates could not with propriety exert any in fluenco in the Convention, while their mere attendance in it might result in infinite mischief to the Democratic party, it is surely the part of wisdom to refrain from participating in the de liberations of the Convention. Third. Tho Northern Democracy wiJJ have to bear tho burthen of the ; fio-ht .Vs the next Presidential contest, and it is only rijglit that they should | choose the field &nd select the stan dard-bearers. The Savannah- Republican has tho fol , lowing in regard to the action of tho sub-Ku-Klux committe and the power delegated thereto, when they shall vis it tho South : Our Washington dispatch announces the visit of sub-committees to the South andlook af:er the Ku-Klux. It will be seen that Voorhees and General Blair are on tho committee for Georgia, and we promise them a cordial welcome. A special committee to demand of the State authorities an exposition of the local finances, taxation &c., and in case of refusal, “ to obtain it by such as then deem advisable," smacks strongly of tho despotism into which tho coun try lias been revolutionized by the Radicals. In the days of Troup such a committee would have been hung before they reached the capitol of the State. But times have changed—oh, how sadly. Coxsidehabie alarm is being felt along the sea cost by- many who have heard of a great tidal wave that was to come along and destroy everything within its reach. Many of the papers laugh at tho silliness of tho general populace, hut their reasoning does not allay tho fears of the people in some parts, as the following from the New beru (N. C.) Times will disclose : We are informed that tho people living along the hanks and at Beau fort, and the entire sea coast, are, iu view of tho visit of the tidal wave, holding prayer meetings night and day, in which prayers aro made to avert tho supposed impending calann ity. Many persons are joining tho church, and a general religious feeling prevails. I'.iO’f! WASUa.WTO.Y. T!i«‘ liil-liliix Committee uekl its Work. Washington, September 23.—The general Ku-Klux Investigating Com i mittee met again to-day at the Capitol i F. N. Strulwick, of Hillsboro, N. C. ; ! David Gist, of Union county, S. C. ; | aud Clayton Camp, of Spartanburg j county, S. C., having been duly sum j moned ami failed to appear as witness- I es before the Committee, the Chair | man, Senator Scott, was authorized to I report said suet to the Senate at its | next session, and request tho Presi ! dent of the Senate to issue his war ! rant tor their arrest, as being in con- I tempt of tho authority of Congress.— j It was also ordered that copies of this ! resolution be sent to tho above named parties by mail. The lull committee then adjourned j to meet on the first day of the next i session ot Congress, or sooner if called !by the chairman. After which the sub-committee of three—namely : Sen ators Scott, Pool and Blair—appointed to examine witnesses, organized and examined Colonel W. L. Saunders, of North Carolii a, and Edward Wheeler, cl Arkansas. Saunders, whom tho committee have had much trouble in getting before them, refused to-day to answer all questions inquiring as toliis connection or the connection of any other person with the so-called Ku- Klux orgauization, on tho ground that ho w-as not compelled to criminate himself or biing upon himself the punishment which, according to the decision of the Supreme Court of North Carolina, may be visited upon any member of a band of Ku-Klux for the misdeeds of their fellow mem bers. "JL lie act of Congress of Janua ry 24, 1862, was read to him, wherein it is enacted that such a plea shall not be held good to excuse a witness from testifying before the Congression al Committee ; but he still persisted in his refusal to answer the questions put to him, saying he preferred relying on the constitution of the United States rather than on an act of Con gress. lie was informed that he would he reported to the full conimit tee at its next meeting, when it is ox- I pectod they will take cognizance of the case aud Older his arrest for con tempt.

Georgia Central Railroad. —Mr. William Rogers, Superintendent of the Central Railroad, has been iu Great Britain for some time—includ ing Scotland and Isle of Man—pur chasing steel rails for his road, the first installment of which arrived re cently at Savannah, on tho steamer “Onward.” Mr. E. will return home this week. Mr. Wadley, President of the road, is going to crown his reign with a mammoth depot in this city, on the cite of the old Court House at the foot j of .Mulberry street. Parties Avho havo seen the design of the building say it will eclipse anything of the kind south of Mason and Dixon’s line. It is also said that the Central Railroad Compa ny will, in course of time, build all of their own engines here, and Macon will gain a valuable accession of skill ed mechanics thereby. The amount of money they will distribute here will be enormous, and go toivard buil ding up tho city and its trade.— Macon Telegraph. Referring to the question of who shall be President of the Senate, the Savannah Republican, of Friday says: Judge Wm. M. Reese, of Wilkes, appears to have inside track for Presi dent of the Senate. Perhaps no man elected to the body is better qualified for the post. Os one thing we aro certain, and it is much iu his favor — ho will not seek it. Upon the same subject, tlie Nows of same date, says; No citizen could be selected better qualified to fill tbo position, or in whom the entire people of the State, of all classes and parties, would re pose more unbounded confidence. The Albany JSctcs makes some re marks on tlie question of impeaching Bullock which seems to us worthy ot serious consideration. It says: Sn all Bullock he Impeached ?—ln our last we figured Senatorial strength to sustain impeachment, in tlie event it shall bo deemed policy to make tho effort. Unless charges covering tho sup posed enormous wrongs ol liis admin istration, can be sustained with clear ness anil flagrantly by proof strong as holy writ, it would be a losing game. We are just on the evo of a Presiden tial campaign, and there is danger of placing a trump card in the hands of the cliineo.” If we fail to make out a case that will shame the cry of persecution and silence the charge of partizan prejudice, we might liavo cause to regret the experiment. Success must be hedged aud supported by causes so patent and proof so posi tive that Radicalism itself shall shud der and turn away in utter disgust, or wo shall reap no good from the victo >y- ****** Duty, and not passion or party should prompt the Jlegislature and characterize tho proceedings ; and we trust that calm counsels and deliberate conclusions will control tho matter, and save us from the consequences of a blunder. The question is one of tho gravest moment, and is well worthy the thoughful consideration of our wisest and best men. It should be ap proached under the sanctity k of solemn duty, and with a view to the good of tho State and the honor of tho people. Tuk Notable Astray —Governor Bullock has been heard from.

Even those »ho have been favored by nature with strong constitutions and vigorous frames are apt to negiset the precautions necessary to preserve these precious endowments. Indeed, as a rule, the more healthy and robust a man is, the more liberties he is inclined to take with bis own physique. It is some consolation to the naturally weak and feeble to know that they can be so invigorated and built up, by a proper use of tiie meane which science has placed at their di posal, as to have a much better chance of long life, and exemptions from disease and pain, than the most athletic of their fellows who are foolish enough to suppose themselves invulnerable, aud act ac cordingly. I is not too much to sav that more than half the people of the civilized world need an occasional tonic, to enable them to sup port the strain upon their bodies and minds, which the fast life of this restless age occa sions. In fact, a pure, wholesome, unexcit ing tonic is the grand desideratum of the busy millions, and they have the article in Hcstet j ter’s Stomach Bitters. It is a staminal med j icine, i. e. it imparts permanent strength to weak systems and invigorates delicate const!-. ; tutions. Its reputation and its sales have steadily increased. Competitive preparations have been introduced ad libitum, and, as far as the public is concerned, ad nauseam, in the hope of rivalling it; but they have all ei ther perished in the attempt, or been left far in the rear. It has been the great medical mccess of tho present century, and it is quite certain that no proprietary ’medicine iu this coui.fy is as widely known, or as generally used.
