True Enough.
“Suppose Gen Gordon lia 1 made the
speech that Ben Hill made in the Sen
ate, the other day, in opposition to the
payment of war claims, wouldn’t it
have been a crusher ! The Savannah
.\'ms and .Macon Telegraph would
have had double-leaded leaders
on it' for a Week. Hut as the Dawson
Journal truly remaiks, “it is much
easier for a needle to go through the
eve of a camel than for Air. Hill t® do
anything that will meet the approval of
some of the prominent papers of his own
S ate.’ - —Albany Advertiser.
You arj pretty correct about that,
1 r .tliers. But we think you do the
Telegraph a slight injustice. It heart
ily endorses Hill’s position on that
question. - We admire independence
that is liberal enough to openly endorse
a good move, even though it be made
by an enemy. It is evidence of au in
tellect that towers above prejudice and
displays the highest type of manhood.
—Rainbridge Democrat.
How *ruel Deliver us from a narrow
minded newspaper.— Valdosta Times.
In connection with the above ex
tracts from three of our weekly exchang
es, we ask attention to what follows
from the Savannah .Morning jYeies,
one of the ablest and most influential
daily papers in the state:
If the people of Georgia understand
anything they certainly understand the
true inwardness of the Hill-Murphy
imbroglio by this time. Yet the sub
ject is still being limped upon at length
in some of our State exchanges as if it
was something entirely new. This is
t' e sum of t e vhole matter : Gover
n r Co' put; s rned the bonds of the
Northeastern Kai road after he had
become convinced in his own mind that
it was legal, proper and just for him to
do so. Mr. Murphy received a fee of
SB,OOO for certain legal services per
formed by him in connection with said
endorsement Mr. Hill wanted to re
eeive a certain sum for similar services,
bur Murphy’s action rendered it unnec
ess. r/ fur him to be retained in the
eas', so he did not get ace it, and that
he aid notlike. 'I his is the whole of the
Hill-Murphy imbroglio in a nut shell
Having already said a great deal in
regard to the “Hill-Murphy imbroglio,"
as the .Yews calls it, we had determined
to say no more, at least for the present,
supposing, like the .Yews, that the peo
ple understood it; but the above ex
tract. fully convinces us that the great
question growing out of the Hill-Mur
phy imbroglio now before the people of
the state for consideration and decision
is not fully understood. The '.Yews, as
evidenced by the above, either docs not
understand it, or is prevented by a
blind prejudice, not confined alone to
that paper, from presenting it fairly to
its readers The case in a nut shell
indeed!
There is a serious, question growing
out of the scandal, now before the peo
ple for their decision through the legis
lature. That question, in the abstract,
is just this. “Is it right fora public
officer to use his office for private gain?'’
That such a question should be serious
ly and solemnly before a peop'e in this
Christian land for solution, is extreme
ly ridiculous and farcical. It is before
us nevertheless, humiliating as the fact
may be. It is brought before us by
the report of the majority of the com
mittee investigating the Colquitt-Mur
phy muss, which report is now awaiting
the action of the legislature to re-assem
ble in July. It was proved before the
committee, —fully proved, independent
of Mr. Hill’s testimony, that Murphy,
not a lawyer, but a clerk in the state
treasury, got a fee of $3,000 for influ
encing the official conduct of the gov
ernor. The committee, through their
majority report, say that there was
nothing illegal or corrupt in that. That
decision is uow before the people for
confirmation or reversal. How shall
we vote ? We could not vote for the
majority report. The committee were
not called upon to pass upon the con
duct of Murphy. The adoption of
that clause of the report saying he did
no wrong, would do no good except to
gratify the fee’iugs of Murphy and his
friends, while it would shock the mor
al sense of many of the best poople of
the state, and place a burden on the
democracy that would he grievous to
bear : and furthermore, we believe the
conduct of Murphy was rank corrup
tion.
We have heard no arguments from
the friendsand apologistsof Colquitt and
Murphy in favor of the adoption of the
report : all we get from them is abuse
and denunciation of Mr Hill. Titov
sav “He is disappointed and mad be
cause he failed to get Alt fee in the
matter. ’ “The other dog got the bone. ’
“He is no friend of Gov. Colquitt” and
nil such stuff as that. Now, we can
didly submit that Mr. Hill has nothing
to do with the question now before the
jicople. He discovered the corruption
and di-'dosed Jt he wa* a witness bc
fore the committee that proved it. That
committee having made its report upon
the evidence and submitted it to the
people* Mr. Hill is. entirely eliminated
from the case, but the apologists of
Murphy and Colquitt still try to lug
him in, in order to blind the people as
to the real facts and i-snes in the case.
Their argument amounts to this : Two
theives, A. and 8., are trying to steal
the same sheep ; A. succeeds and B.
fails. A. is guilty of no wrong, be
cause B. is just as bad a man and was
trying to do the same thing that he did.
Then again they seem to argue that
Mr. 11'll ought not to have told of the
corruption and fraud that he discover-
ed in our state administration ; because
it was within the democratic household
he ought to have held his nose and
passed on in silence We desire to
warn our able daily contemporaries
that the people of our country cannot
be gulled or hoodwinked by such stuff
as they are giving them on this ques
tion. It is an important matter, and
it is dangerous to trifle with it in the
way that some of our leading papers
are doing, especially in view ot the al
leged probability that we are to have
a formidable independent opposition to
the democracy in this state in our com
ing campaigns. Will not onr big dai
lies drop Mr. Hill for a moment, and
give us their views on the merits of the
question? We would like to hear them
candidly on this point, and, for the
sake of getting them to it, would be
willing to admit, for the time being,
that Mr. Hill is a more corrupt man
than Mr. Murphy, that he is no friend
to Gov. Colquitt, that he was actuated
by bad motives, that Ex-Judge Trippe
deserves hanging for advising Hill to
disclose the corruption of Murphy, and
that Hill deserves hell for doing so.
Take all this for granted, great dailies,
an& give us your views on the matter
as now before the people. Shall we
endorse and shoulder Murphy or let
him go unendorsed and unshouldered ?
Shall our legislature declare that there
is no wrong in using public -office for
private gain ? This is the question.
What say you? Do not tell us that
you are willing to leave it to the wis
dom and judgement of the legislature.
That is begging the question. Our
legislators wish to know and iepresent
the wishes of their constituents.
A poor Jew, named Whittixin, was
murdered at Leary a short time ago.—
We do not know that it is the duty of
the Governor to offer a reward for the
perpetrators of the foul deed or not
We presume it is discretionary with
him. A friend, perhaps a relative, if
the Jew at Eufaula, Ala , has offered a
reward of one hundred dollars Not
enough of an inducement, but, perhaps,
all he was able to offer. Suppose this
friend had gone to Murphy and offered
him §IOO to induce the Governor to
offer a larger reward of the people’s
money, and Murphy had accepted the
fee and secured the offer. Would this
be legitimate and proper or not ?
There is another clause in *he reports
of the committee to which we have not,
and do not object, that exonerating
Gov. Colquitt from all blame in the
matter, but, while we are not authorized
to speak for any one, we can assure the
seemingly over-confident apologists for
the Governor and Murphy in this mat
ter, that there are members of the leg
islature, good men and true, who will
vote for even that clause with reluctance,
if at all. Not that they believe the
Governor got any of the corrupt fee,
but they think the chief magistrate of
this great state ought to have promptly,
sternly and iudignantly rebuked his
impudent subordinate when he dared to
inform him that he was speculating on
his official conduct. But instead the
Governor offered no word of rebuke.—
lie even calmly listened to an “argu
ment” from the clerk as to his official
duty, for Murphy swore he made an
argument before the Governor in favor
of the endorsement of the bonds. Was
not this a spectacle for gods and men !
The Governor of Georgia sitting back
in his chair listening to a dapper little
clerk instructing him as to his duty, and
for a consideration ! Imagine, if you
can, or if you dare, some of Georgia’s
great men, living and dead, who have
filled high positions in the past, in that
predicament! Imagino Murphy instruct
ing such a man, for instance, as Howell
Cobb, Gen. Toombs or Ilerschell V.
Johnson in his official duty. Is your
imagination vivid enough to sketch the
the picture ? If so, how dost like it?
We write much and often on this
eubjeet because we really think it is
ouo of vital importance to the democra
cy of the state, —one that ought to, and
must be met fairly and looked &quarely
iu the eye. And, further, because it
ready seems to us that some of the ab
lest and most influential papers of the
state, for what reason we do not know,
are trying to hide the real issue and
real facts in the case under a mass of
irrelevant discussion and abuse of Mr.
Hill. While believing this to be so,
we shall do all that lies within our
humble sphere to keep the matter he- j
fore the peopl* iu its true light. Our
fealty to true and honest democracy
will not admit of less. Taken by itself,
this one single case of prostitution of
public office for private gain may not
amount to much, but many govern
ments, fedora!, state and municipal
have commenced to become corrupt and
oppressive just in that way. Our duty
and our safety lies in a prompt, emphatic
and indignant disavowal and condem
nation of the act. It will not do to
try to cover it up and hide it,
“It will but film and skin the ulcerous |>lhgc,
Whilst rank corruption mining all uithiu,

Apropos.
To illustrate the dangerous position
in which the democracy of the state
will place itself, if it endorses the
majority report of the committee in
the Colquitt-Murphy affair, we ap
pend uti extract from a letter of 11.
11. Jones to the Telegraph and Mes
senger. Col. Jones writes of what
occurred on the cars while he was on
his way to the State Agricultural
Convention at Hawkinsville, If we
endorse Murphy how can we answer
or resent such charges as those spok
en of below? Imagine the fiery Fel
ton on the stump making such aw
ful charges and driving them home
with his ponderous “Hallelujah licks.”

and agriculture, however, taking the

cussion of the former, we had an excel
lent opportunity of beholding “how

One of the passengers was an Indepen
dent of the Felton school, and to hear
him talk it might be supposed ihat the

The Atlanta Constitution seems to
think that, so cai!ed, independeutism is
growing stronger and ex: ending wider
in Georgia politics. It even mentions
Gen. Toombs as a possible candidate
of that faction in the next race for Gov
ernor. At the s ime time the Consti
tution forcibly argues that the state has
not, since the war, been in a better
condition in every way than it is at
present, and that there is m cause for
dissatisfaction. We have no fears for
the success of the true democracy in
Georgia so long as it keeps itself pure
and unspotted before the world
A Sensation in Washington
High Life.
A Washington letter says: “A
recent incident in fashionable social
life here is the subject of much com
ment in social circles. For mutual
convenience and pleasure the lady
guests of one of the largest and most
fashionable hotels have held their
regular day receptions in common.
At the reception last week Mrs.
Bruce, the wife of the colored Sena
tor from Mississippi, came in. Mrs.
Bruce is very little ‘off in color, and
very few, if any, of those present had
at first the least suspicion as to her
identity. After passing with sever
al of the ladies the usual common
places which make up the sum and
substance of Washington society re
ceptions she took her departure. It
was not until the examination of the
cards deposited in the tray at the
door was commenced, after the re
ception had terminated, that the hor
rible truth was discovered. Then
consternation and indignation suc
ceeded each other, and several of the
ladies were so much overcome that
they declared they would take no
further part in the receptions. The
affair is still a nine-days w onder, and
is likely to continue so for some time
longer. What gives unusual inter
est to it is the fact that Mrs. Bruce
came to return a call first made up
on her by the wife of a Democratic
member of Congress, and who is one
of the ladies stopping at the hotel.
It seems that she was not preseut on
the .occasion<*f Mrs. Bruce's call.

UNFORTUNATE SHOOTING.
Mr. Roland Lyon Seriously
Wounded.
Last evening at about half past sev
en o’clock the city was startled by the
report that Mr. Roland Lyon had kill
ed himself. The rumor proved incor
rect as to his death but it was soon
found to be unfortunately true as to
the shooting.
It seems that yesterday Mr. Lyon
had uufortunately allowed himself to
get under the influence of ardent spir
its, and while in this state placed his
pistol to his breast and fired. The
bullet penetrated his body about an
inch from the left nipple, a little above,
and was cut out of his back about an
inch from the edge ot his shoulder
blade. The path of the bullet must
have been tlm.ugh the lung, - narrowly
escaping the heart.
lie had been in his father’s room
about two moments before and he had
told him to retire He did retire to
his room and almost immediately the
pistol shot was heard. Assistance was
rendered immediately and medical aid
summoned. Dr. Clinkseales arrived
first, followed by Drs. Hammond and
Mettauer.
At latest accounts, this morning, 2
o’clock, Mr. Lyon was doing well, with
good prospects of recovery. We hope
he may speedi y recuperate. The oc
currence is greatly to be regretted, on
account of the high standing of his
family in the community, and is an af
fair much to be deplored.— Telegraph
Si Messenger.
Roland Lyon is a son of Judge R.
F. Lyon, a prominent lawyer well
known in Southwest Georgia. Latest
accounts represent the young man in a
very critical condition, with little hope
of his recovery.
Alarmingly Strong Points.
Springfield Republican.
The fact that Mr Tilden is made, by
the result of the New York cipher in
vestigation, a formidable candidate for
the democratic nomination in 1880, has
come to be generally recognized. The
republican hunt has been carried too
far, the country discovered through the
New Tribune revelations, that
Pelton & Cos. had been negotiating for
:lie purchase of electoral votes, the
dickering failed, and Mr Tilden has
been given opportunity to tell the coun
try why it failed. This is what Samu
el J. Tilden has been allowed to sol
emnly affirm before the country. He
thus postures as the deceived uncle, the
stern rebuker of proposed bribery, the
candid .te of the popular choice cheated
out of the chief magistracy. His ene
mies have done their worst, and Sam
uel J. Tilden not only politically sur
vives, but the old issues are recalled to
national attention with him, and he en
ters the presidential race equipped with
new barrels ol money. The able man
ager in Grammercy park has some
aiarmingly strong points in his favor.
It is remarked as a little singular
that the only two corporations, outside
of the United States Government, able
to float a four per cent, loan at par are
the city of Boston and the State of
Georgia.
