Investigation.
The Legislature has gone into the in
vestigating business by the wholesale.
The House has appointed four com
mittees of nine members each to inves
tigate Treasurer llenfroe, School Com
missioner, Orr, Agricultural Commiss
ioner, Janes and Penitentiary Keeper,
Nelms So everybody is is to be inves
tigated except the Secretary of State,
Barnett.
We believe that there are no very
serious charges against these officials,
but there is such a dense and s'ifling
atmosphere of suspicion pervading the
state that our representatives think it
best to investigate everything and eve
rybody.
This state of general suspicion and
distrust was started by the Colquitt-
Murphy nastiness, the Garlington, Al
ston and Tuggle fees, and fanned up to
fever beat by the outrageous wild land
frauds. It seems to us the height of
folly for any one ever to have supposed
that an intelligent people would keep
cool and quiet and calm under these ac
cumulated outrages. What security
can a people feel while knowing that at
the very door of their treasury vaults is
kept an official who has been proved
guilty of prostituting his office for the
purpose of lining his own pockets, and
that he is shielded, protected and de
fended, both in his conduct and his po
sition, by the chief executive officer, of
the state, and, moreover, that Le is ad
mitted to the councils of that chief ex
ecutive as a legal adviser. Strange
that any were so blind as not to see
that such conduct con’d be neittier
sanctified nor concealed by any depth
or thickness of whitewash. This thing
had a large share in bringing about the
present suspicious state of mind among
the people. If (lie speculating eleik in
the treasury department had been
promptly thrown overboard when his
offense was proven, perhaps the hungry
whale, that is now so persistently and
cla aorouslyjfollowing our ship of state,
would have swallowed him up and gone
off satisfied, and the troubled waters
would have subsided. But this mat
ter was slurred, patched and painted
over, and the storm still rages, and, we
fear, the voracious whale is bound to
stomach more than one poor deluded
official before his greed is appeased or
the storm assuaged. Perhaps, after
all, it is well, and only one more dem
onstration of the truth of the old say
ing ‘"’Whom the Gods would destroy
they first make mad.”
We presume that no fears need be en
tertained that the four investigations
recently ordered will not be thorough
and complete. We do not think that
tlie legislature has now any disposition
to use the whitewash brush, and we ave
certain, and they know it two, that the
people are in no humor to tolerate it.
The little whitewash, so far used by
that body, has been very thin and harm
less. It had but little lime and no
glue in it; it neither sticks nor covers
worth a cent. The big bucket-full at
flrst prepared by the majority of the
Colquitt-Murpliy committee was, after
several months reflection, set aside as
not suited to the case nor the times.—
After consulting with their constituents,
the loaded brush fell from the nerveless
hands of a committee that would other
wise have soon had our respected gov
ernor, and the able and learned clerk
of our treasury, as thickly chalked over
as was Fox, the celebrated comedian,
when he played Humpty-dumpty.
We rather fear that the loud and
persistent elainor of an outraged peo
ple may incline our legislators to sever
ity and cause them to magnify slight
offenses. We hope, however, such will
not be the case. Each one of the offi
cials to be investigated should have a
fair and impartial trial, uninfluenced by
popular prejudice or popular clamor. If
they are guilty of no wrong let it be so
declared and maintained. But, if after
impartial investigation, any rebellious
Jonahs are found who have refused to
preach at Nineveh, or mistaking their
mission, have gone and preached to Ni
neveh wheu they ought to have bem
looking after worse sinners nearer
home, in God’s name, let them go ov
erboard.
We are sorry to see from the letter
of our able, fearless and wide awake
Atlanta correspondent, “K.” that there
are “strong suspicions” of something
wrong in the treasury department. The
people have had great confidence
in Capt. Reufroe: and we had hoped,
n he is handicapped with
a suspected clerk, that he would es
cape even suspicion. We hope these
suspicions are groundless, and that he
w ill go through the furnace unscorch
ed.

We notice, in the proceedings of
the legislature, that our solid and
able representative, lion. Eli. G.

Bullock on f lie “Situatiau.”
Rufus B. Bullock, once Governor of
Georgia, has written a letter to the At
lanta Constitution to say that there is
no disposition on the part of republicans
to rejoice at the disgrace brought upon
the state by the present democratic ad
ministration. lie thinks Colquitt’s ad
ministration has suffered, just as his did,
from false accusations He sympathizes
with the governor and the state. lie
thinks all unfaithful officers should he
punished, but his liver is especially hot
and black against those who dare to
expose their unfaithfulness.
Bullock fled the state once to avoid
trial and punishment. Many of those
who aided him to plunder the state, and
who were just ready to join his party
when it was overthrown, remained and
became loud-mouthed democrats. Af
ter a few years several of them were
elected and appointed to office by the
democratic party. Bullock then re
turned, knowing that the ring masters
of the party would not dare to try him
because it would expose the villainy of
many of its own household Many of
those who the people believe to have
been sharers of Bullocks plunder are in
snug offices to-day in the State of Geor
gia-
To have fallen so low as to excite
the sympathy and commiseration of
Bullock is indeed a hard fate. May
the Good Lord have mercy upon us!
r hose Checks to Newspapers.
We would be right glad to know in
whose favor those newspaper checks
were drawn by tlie Comptroller-Gener
al. It may be that they were not giv
en for any illegitimate purpose, hut tlie
alleged fact that some newspaper men
weie so eairer to go before the commit
tee and explain how they got them looks
rather suspicious. If they were given for
legitimate purposes they would not need
explanation. As all of the Atlanta pa
pers are calling for the names ot tlie
parties, we presume they will he forth
coining. We don’t, however, see any
evidence that any of the keen nosed
Atlanta reporters are on track of the
matter. They are ready enough to run
down evey other sensation. Why so
mild and calm oh this. Let us have
the names.
Macon ami Brunswick Itailroad
A hill lias passed the Senate provid
ing for the lease of the Macon and
Brunswick railroad, which belongs to
the state, for twenty years for not less
than $60,000 a year. The bill requires
the lessees to spend $200,000 within
two years after the lease in the im
provement of the road. It also re
quires them to extend the road to At
lanta within five years. After tlie ex
tension the lessees may, if they desire
purchase the road for $ 1.125.000. It
is said that Astor, of New York, wish
es the road on tlie terms of the bill,
and that it he gets, it he will run a
line of steamers between Brunswick
and the South American ports.

Memphis.
The yellow fever is on the increase
at this unfortunate city. From fif
teen to thirty new cases are reported
each day,—nearly half of them ne
groes. The disease is not prevailing
to any serious extent at any other
point. It does not, as yet, seem to
be quite so fatal as last year.
Give vis the Gist.
[Atlanta Phonograph)
The investigation of the Comptroller-
General has created a flurry in newspa
pers circles almost equal to a small
sized cyclone. Several bank cheeks
have come to light which had been giv
en to some editors to manufacture pub
lic opinion, we presume, a la the State
Road lease business. A corrupt press
is a bane to any country, and we hope
all who have eaten of this pie will have
their names published. The people want
the whole list, not a name should be
suppressed. We are informed that
one of them has already given notice to
the committee that he desired to appear
before them and explain why he took
the money. He claims that he got it in
a purely business transaction, and was
not “bought up” as the saying goes.—
Money was offered tc the editor of the
Phonograph not to write an editorial on
the first report of the committee on
wild lands, but he indignantly refused
to accept it, and wrote his honest opin
ion on the subject.
We shall endeavor to live honestly
and look after the interest of the peo
ple, and if they fail to reward us with
their patronage we will go unrewarded
The phonograph will keep its read
ers posted in reterence to every devel
opment of this matter to the best of its
ability.
Macon Furnishes Another Cow

Our Atlanta better.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 11,1879.
Dear Journal:
Your readers will doubtless he informed
before this letter T goes to press all about
the proposed investigation of the various
departments. The treasury, peniten
liry, agricultural and school commis
sioners. I have no doubt hut that
Judge Orr will come out all right.—
Capt. Nelms, the penitentiary man, is
charged with receiving pa}' for moving
convicts that he did not move, which
reminds me of Bill Arp's man who
made out an account against him for
one well that he didn’t dig. Though,
as this seems "to fee a private contract
between individuals in which the state
has no direct interest, the probability is
that not much will be made of it.—
It will take considerable time to look
well into the department of agriculture.
I can not state what circumstance gave
rise to the investigation of this depart
ment, though it has some enemies that
are strong men and some of them are
very determined on its destruction.—
There are strong suspicions that some
thing is covered up in the money de
partment. There are some (if the best
financiers in the House on that commit
tee, —they are also men who have the
moral courage to do their duty and to
express their opinions when it is neces
sary. So the public may expect for
this department to be handled without
gloves, and still I think the committee
will not show any disposition to do Capt.
Renfroe any injustice, but will stand
perpendicular between him and the
state.
The Legislature has now been in ses
sion forty days, and half lias not yet
been done. When we will reach a final
adjournment is a question often asked,
but no one seems willing or able to an
swer. It is thought that the impeach
ment will not begin iu less time than
two weeks. Goldsmith says that he
will not b'e ready for trial before the
first of September, hut I don’t think he
will have so much time as that grauted
him to prepare his case. He has many
warm friends and will make a hard
fight of it, but “where there is so much
smoke there must be some fire,” and
it seems impossible for him to come out
clearly vindicated.
The bill to reduce and regulate the
inspection of commercial fertilizers is
made the special order for Thursday
next. The object is to protect the far
mer and give him a chance to go into
court when his guano does not benefit
his crop. W. C. K.
Caterpillars
have made their appearance on several
plantations in this county, and have in
creased in numbers very rapidly dur
ing the cloudy weather that he have
been having for the past two weeks
The pests are hatching out by the
thousands, and the situation is becom
ing really alarming. It had been hoped
that a good “top crop” of cotton would
be made after the long needed rains
came, but the caterpillar has put in an
appearance and driven all such bright
hopes away.— Albany Advertiser.
At the University 'Commencement
one ot tlie seniors speaking on “jour
nalism” said: “There are good edi
tors —there are had editors.” Said
General Toombs in an audible voice,
“I accept the latter statement.”—
Sunday Gaiette.
Those who cannot write more in
telligibly than Gen. Toombs frequent
ly does, just after returning home
from Atlanta, are “bad editors.”
Wonder if “Highsmith,” the man
who bought so much wild land, and
seemed to be the grand Tycoon of the
flock, is related to Hijim. The peo
ple have a pretty good opinion of the
genial, jovial Hijim.— Phonograph.

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.
It will bo apparent to any rne, who
will exi.mine a Solid Gold Watch,
that aside from the necessary thickness
for engraving and polishing, a largo
proportion of the precious metal used,
is needed only to stiffen and hold the
engraved portions in place, and sup
ply the necessary solidity and strength.
The surplus gold is actually needless
so far as utility and beauty are con
cerned. In JAMES BOSS’ PAT
ENT GOLD WATCH CASES, this
w aste ot precious metal is overcome,
and the Same solidity and strength
produced at from one-third to one-half
ol the usual cost of solid cases. This
process is of the most simple nature,
as follows: a plate ot nicklo composi
tion metai, specially adapted to the
purpose, has two plates of solid gold
soldered one on eactt side. The three
are then passed between polished
steel rollers, and the result is a strip
of heavily plated composition, from
which the cases, hacks centres, bez
els, &c., are cut and shapeu by suita
ble dies and formers The gold in
these casts is soffit ititly thick to ad
mit of all kinds of chasing, engraving
and epamelling; the rngraved cases
have been carried until worn perfect
ly smooth by time and use without re
moving the gold. Tlr y are for sale
by ad jewelers, and each case is war

When the hand of disease is laid
heavily upon us, robbing life of all its

Kingston, Ga , September 15, 1871.
Cents: —For 16 years I have been a great
sufferer from Scrofula iu its most distressing
forms. I have bean corifiued to my room
and bed for 15 years with scrofulous ulcera
tions. The most approved remedies for
such cases had been used, and the most
eminent physicians consulted, without any
decided benefit. Thus prostrated, distressed
desponding, I was advised by Dr. Aye r , of
Fioyd county, Ga., to commence the use of
your Compound Extract Stillingia. Language
is as insufficient to describe the relief I oh
faired from the use of the Stillingia is is to
convey an adequate idea of the intensity of
my suffering before using your medicine;
sufficient to say, I abandoned ah other rem
edies and continued the use of your Extract
of Stillingia, until 1 can say truly, ‘ I am
cured of pain,“ of all disease, with nothing
to obstruct the active pursuit of my profes
sion. More than eight months have elapsed
since this remarkable cure, without any re
turn of the disease.
For the truth of the above statement I
refer to any gentleman of Bartow county,

A MIRACLE.
West Point, Ga , Sept. 15, 1871.
Gknts:-Mv daughter was taken on ihe 2oth
day of June, 1868, with what was supposed
to be Acute Rheumatism, ar.d was treated
for the same with no success. In March,
following, pieces of bone began to work
out of the right arm, and contained to ap
pear till all the bone ft ora the elbow to the
shoulder joint came out. Many pieces of
bone came out of the right foot and leg.
The case was then pronounced one of White
Swelling. After having been confined about
six years to her bed, and the case considered
hopeless, I was induced to try Dr. Pember
ton’s Cumpounl Extract of Stillingia, and
was so well satisfied with its ellects that I
have continued the u=e of it uutil now.
My daughter was confin and to her bed
about six years before she sat up or even
turned over without, he'.p. She now sits up
all day and sews mot o her time, has walk

GEORGE A, CLARK,
SOLE AGENT,
400 Bfoatlway, New York.
Tho distinctive features of this spool cotton
are that it is made from the very finest
SEA ISLAND COTTON.
It is finished soft as the cotton from which
made; it has no waxing or artificial finish to
deceive the eyes; it is the strongest, smooth
est and most elastic sewing thread in the
market: tor machine sowing it has Do equal;
it is wound on
WHITE SPOOLS.
The Black is the most perfect JET BLACK
ever produced in spool cotton, being dyed
by a system patented by ourselves. The
colors are dyed by the NE IU AN ILINE
rendering them so perfect and
brilliant that dress-makers everywhere use
them instead of sewing silks.
A gold medal was awarded this spool cot
ton at Paris in 1878.
We invite comparison and reso?ctfully ask
ladies to give it a lair trial and convince
themselves of its superiority over all others.
