Georgia has had 59 governors,

fur present governor is of the same
name. Fifty of these ro e i s, from
Wm. Stephans to Governor Brown, are
dead ; the 9 from Governor Brown to

ory Speer would be appointed United
States Attorney General for the North
ern District of Georgia. His name,
however; which had been sent to the
Senate for confirmation by the Presi
dent, was suddenly withdrawn a few
days since. This has caused a ripple
of excitement in political circles at the
national capital, and rumor is very bu
sy accounting for the cause of this ab
rupt change in the mind of President
Arthur. One report has it that Sena
tor Edmunds, who is ohairman of fhe
judiciary committee, and has charge of
the nomination is hostile to the appoint
ment of Mr. Speer, and docs noi intend
that he shall receive the appointment.
Those who claim to know Mr. Edmunds’
opinions, say that he is opposed to ma

Another report is, that the law for
bids the appointment of any member of
Congress to any office which was created
or the emoluments of which have been
increased during bis term of service as
Congressman ; and that the office of
Attorney General for the Northern Dis
trict of Georgia having been created
during Mr. Spoer’s term of service as
Congressman,he is therefore rendered in-

of March, inst., when his term expires.
Mr. Speer, it is said, feels confident of
receiving the appointment immediately
after the adjournment of Congress.
The appointinent of Internal Reve

and V\ Lite, the colored applicant from

much opposition from the radically
radical wing of the Republican party,
who may yet succeed in preventing his
appointment. The prospects for reten-,

Everybody aequo ioted with the 8ob
ject knows that these appropriations
have not been expended for furniture i t
for the purposes specified. During ti e
whole of Haye s fraudulent admiuintn-
tion the furniture was little changed,
though the money was annually grunt
ed for it.
Year by year these additions have
been made to the President’s perquis
ites, after his salary was doubled, ten
yeais ago, until they have become a dis
graceful abuse. Indeed, they are a
legalised steal in an odious form, for
which Congress is directly responsible
to the people.
Directly and indirectly there is voted
for the President and for the Exeontive
Mansion such a sum as will make, with
other advantages, the allowance made
to the President exceed one hundred
thousand dollars a year. And there is
more aflectation of conrt life about the
White House than has ever been known
there. I here is a poor prospect for an
economical government with such a
costly executive establishment at the
head.

It was the established pract’ce until
the era of Grantism to refurnish the
Executive Mansion at every new Presi
dential term. The aid and worn out
furniture was sold, and the money thus
obtained was added to a moderate ap
propriation to buy whatever might be
propeily needed to equip the White
House afresh.
General Grant brought in practices
of extravagance that had never been
previously known, and among them was
the habit of asking for money to refur

appropriated for care, repairs and fur

For the fiscal year 1883, Congress
appropriated for care and repairs of the
