The resignation of Gen. John II Gordon as United States Senator was a surprise to every one for he pos sessed the confidence of the people, was popular with all classes and in his official position was accomplish ing great good for Geogia. lie had her interests at heart and was always actuated by pure and patriotic mo tives. IIo was a man of whom all felt proud, he was honest, conserva tive, eneigetic and able; he was the man for the place, Georgia's favor ite s6n, who all delighted to honor. Before our people fully appreciated their loss, in the resignation and re tirement of so great and good a man as Gen. J. IJ. Gordon from the public service, they were shocked by the report that Ex-Gov. Joseph E Brown had been appointed as bis successor. This news caused good men to hang their heads, and many looked Bad and despondent, the excitement was intense and is not yet allayed. Gov. Colquitt is a high toned, courteous, Christian gentleman, one whom our peop e loved and who they delighted to honor, a unanimous vote awaited him in Washington county in the next canvass for guber natorial hounrs, his name awakened an enthusiasm among our whole peo ple, of which his friends felt proud, and they desired to endorse him and his administration, but the feeling that now animates the masses is one of bitter and unforgiving antago nism. Had the Senatorial robe been ten dered to such a umu as lion. II. V Johnson the appoint mi nt would huvi met the approval <f the tried and true men all over the State, and liis acceptance would have been hailed with acclaina‘ions of joy, for ho i indeed a man who has been tried in the li dance, and has not boon fund wanting, but proved to lo good, honest'and true.

And now that the restoration of Louisiana and South Carolina to the rights of solt- men in Columbus this afternoon, resolutions were passed regretting the resignation of General Gordon, and stating that the action of Gov ernor Coluitt in appointing J. E. Brown as Senator of Georgia is de serving of censure so strong that words cannot express it; that Brown is not a representative of Georgia, nor of the Democratic party, and the shameful and disgraceful man ner in which lie has been foisted upon the people is condemned.

HON. RUFUS E. LESTER. Eds. Mercury: Please allow me space in your valuable colums to give my views in connection with the-Gubernation- al race, a little airing. The time is rapidly approaching, when the Democracy of Georgia, in Convention assembled, represen ting the wisdom of a great state will be called upon to select from the numerous candidates presented and whose names have been sugges ted, as being worthy of all honor, and- eminently qunllified for the high and responsibse trust, one who shall become tho standard bearer of the Party in the coming Gubernatorial canvass. Georgia has many noble sons ot whom she may well be proud; and not tho least among them in many worthy qualities and Christian vir- tures, is our present incumbent, Hon. Alfred 11. Colquitt; but lie has been weighed in the balance and found wanting'' in several very es sential requisites. Now, while we have no war to make on the Governor personally and are convinced of the rectitude of his intentions, we are uIbo,equal ly convinced, that there are men in tho old Commonwealth who are far superior to him in far-reaching Statesmanship and executive abili ty. These facts will doubtless, be denied by an idolatrous constituen cy, who claim that the Governor has performed miracles since his inauguration. The reduction of the taxes,and the Prosperous finan cial condition of tho state to-day, they attribute almost entirely to his industrious efforts. Do the members of tho joint ti nance committee, then, claim no credit for this happy result l The Governor simply carried out the will of tho Legislature, and per formed his compulsory duty under the New Constitution, and does this mark him as a great financier ': Come gentlemen, be governed by teason, and let truth have its le gitimate influence. {Some of the Governors’ friends, in their great enthusiasm, charge his political enemies with making war upon him solely from the fact that he is a zealous Christian. Noth ing is further from the truth. No sane man, however irreligious he may be, would be base enough lo attack him upon those grounds. But it, is stated upon good author ity that the Govirnor is frequently absent from the Capital, preaching or delivering Sunday-school speech es, when he is wanted on impor tant official business. Now it there is truth in these char ges, it is certainly good cause of complaint for the Governor has no right whatever to neglect his of ficial duties to attend to any otliei business. And now, upon the top of all this, comes the intelligence of the resignation of Senator Gordon, and the appointment of ex-Governor Joseph E. Brown to fill the vacan cy. Is there not “something rot- ton in Denmark,” or rather in Georgia politics. Fellow-citizens, can you stomach this, with the Post Bellum record of Joe Brown staring you in the face ? Is there a Simon Pure Democrat of the Jef fersonian school,who can consistent ly vote for the Governor after this suicidal stroke ? We anticipate a thundering negative in response. Let us then look around for a leader of ihe right mould, one up on whom all parties could unite, and whose nomination by the De mocracy would settle all jealousies and petty difficulties. I11 looking over the roll of hon ored names in Georgia, there is not one among that list of eminent worthies whose record shines with a brighter or purer lustre, whose politictil career has been more fault less.open and manly,or who fought Executive Department, State' of Georgia, Atlanta,G a., April 14,1880.— Whereas, It is reported to trie by the state treasurer that there is now in treasury at least two hundred and fifty thousand dol lars more than will be required to pay the principal and interest of the bonded debt of the slate becoming due during the cur rent year, and all annual char ges against the treasury; and, Whereas, Said sum can be ad* vantageously applied to the re demption of the outstanding four per cent bonds of the state, and perhaps, of bonds beat ing a higher rate of interest; and believ ing it to be for the best interest of the state that such disposition should be made of the surplus in the treasury, it is ORDERED, that the treasur er be and he is hereby authoriz ed to redeem to the extent of said sum of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars the out-anding four percent bonds and such other valid bonds of the state, not due,as can be redeemed at par.
