General Gordon still lards bis harangue with laudation and glorification of himself tor saying th© South. And for this wonder ful piece of statesmanship he demands that the people shall pay him with the Governor ship. It so happens that when ho wua spreadir g his plumes in this w ay some years since, Governor Brown fell afoul of him and plucked out all of his tail feathers and razeed his comb down to tho quick. This performance took place in the columns of the General's present organ, and we repro duce it in full iu another column. It will repay a careful perusal. Governor Brown charges that the Gener al, so far from awing the South, betrayed the Democratic party by a trade with sun dry Republican politicians. What is of more interest, he proves it by incontestable facts. Ho fixes upon him “the weight of enormous political guilt.*' It may be remembered in tlii* connection that some people of South Car >lina settled the General's supposed claim with a silver • service. Louisians, it seems, failed to chip in her proportion. Governor Brown’s article makes it very clear and conclusive that the State of Georgia, if she owes General Gor don anything, it is her undying protest against the great wrong ho imposed upon her, in common with tho other States of the South. Somebody was fearfully swindled in this transaction, and it was not tho NoitU or the Republican party. Another totter from the Oeneral. The Ibtter published below' was sent to n gentleman in an adjoining county. He is amused at this effort to coax him into a movement with which he has no sympathy or respeot, and he, being a plain, honest farmer, desires tho Tklbobapb to say in reply, that he and his 'kin, friends and neighbors propose to support Mr. B.icon, [COXriDKVTIAL.] mUDQtrASTKBB OoRDOW C EXTRA I.

If yon choose to do so, you can And all yon desire, in a legislative investi gation which waa hod in the yenrlH7G. Let ms copy from the sworn testimony. Gov ernor Brown on the eland: Mr. McDauiel, (the present Governor), chairman—"Go on. Governor, and state to whom yon paid any sum. of money." Answer—"I have already stated that we paid $5,000 to the Constitution. We paid it more than any of the others, because it was located at the capitid. and we thought it would wield mure influence in cnlightning (!) public opinion, and give the case more weight in our” favor. * * I gave also money to one who ditd before he reported the disposition of all of it. He told me he paid $1,000 of it to a gentleman as an attorney nnd $1,000 to certain news papers. He Lad no connection with any member of the Legislature, end I advised him never to use a dime of the money to buy a glass of liquor for any one ef them.” Happy legislator-, to be so tenderly cared for in the presence of temptation! I com mend it to the temperance people of Geor gia oa a most extraordinary precaution! Let us put Mr, I W. Avery on the stand next. Examined by Mr. McDaniel—"Do you know anything of the nse of money to procure the passage of a resolution indors ing the lease through the Legislature of 1871?” Aus.—"Mr. W. A. Hemphill told me he received $5,000 for the position the Conali- tntion had taken in support of the lease from H. I. Kimball." Who did he say paid him the money?” Answer—"Mr. H. I. Kimball.” • • "At a subsequent tiino when the papers were savagely attacking Mr. Hemphill lie expressed some apprehension about this matter getting out, aud said ho was going to see Governor llrow n and Mr. l’eters and have it hushed up. When the Common wealth made these charges they mentioned me aa a witness who could provo the fact. Mr. Hemphill ceme to me to give him a denial i?) of the charges ngainst him, so far as 1 could not substantiate them. 1 drew up a letter from him to me, nnd also one from me to him, in which 1 stated all I knew of tho matter and left it with him for publication. Next nioruing there appeared m my letter the interpolation of a sentence disowning the Kimball matter. 1 went to Hemphill nnd a-ked him about it He gave me this explanation; lie and Colonel Finch had read this letter over together and Colonel Finch suggested that sentence ought to he in it Mr. Hemphill wrote it with a pencil, and then tried to find me. Not finding me he rnbbed it ont, but not sol that the priutor could not read it.” Now, Mr. Editor, "beat that in Georgy,’ if yon cun. Let ns put Sir. Hemphill on the stand Mr. Hemphill sworn: * I)id yon ever re ceive money from Governor llrown or anyl meantime I can bring the Constitution for ward to show s muco later attack, which under the circumstanoes was unpsrdon ab. If the Txuuibaph keeps a file of the Constitution, look in its issue of January Blth, 1877. Governor Colquitt had been inaugurated tbe day before, and hisaddrts* also appears in the same paper. Mr. Hill was a candidate for the Senate, to lie elect ed or defeated within a few days. General Gordon was writing letters to members of the Legislature to procure his defeat, as Mr. Hill informed perribna still living. Hav ing used poor Governor Smith in the convict lease matter until they had no further use for him, he was tossed aside—a "sucked orange." The Kirkwood ring were protendedly for ID. Norwood, but circumstances would indicate they also failed him. Tbe Kirkwood syn dicate were openly against Mr. Hill. Just at this juncture an interview with General Gordon appeared in the New Orleans Democrat. 1 find the copy of it in tbe Constitution, already mentioned: “Washington, D. C., January 9.—I had an interview with General Gordon lost night, in which ho remarked, in a reply to a question, that he regarded Ben Hi'r*’ atti tude before the country as moat deplorable and calculated to demoralize to some ex tent the sentiment of the Democratic party at a crisis when unity in council, in firm ness of line, are needed more than ever before in oar history. Ho would not say he knew of his own knowledge that Hill’s attitude was one oi hostility or disaffection towards the cause of the party, bnt lie said it was exceedingly unfortunate that Mr. Hill's action in some ins aacts in the past h id laid a'foundution for tbe r. ports aud rumors concerning hi- I resent designs which now fill the columns of the press The General added, ho did not feel at liberty to give free expression to his opinions touching Mr. Hill's attitude for tho reason, if he should do so, it might bo construed ns an interference by hmi in the Senatorial contest now pending in Georgia; therefore he could go no furthir than to say Mr. Hill’s attitude was un fortunate for himself and deplorable fer tV Democratic party,” Buell, the correspond ent, added: “The Baltimore American ol this morning has nn article declaring that the Democrats cannot depend on Hill to sustain their programme, closing with these words: ‘Hill thinks hohas been badly treated by the Democracy of bis State, and in Congress, and is ripe to revolt.’ ’’ Mr. Editor, a more insidious attack was never concocted for a despicable purpose. Mr. Hill had been sent to Congress by an overwhelming vote to fill Garnett McMil lan's place. As the writer knows, person ally, from those who were in position to speak, Mr. Hill was in daily conference with Mr. llewitt and other leaders of ibe party to devise some remedy lor tho disruption which would attend a violent inauguration of either Mr. Hayes or Mr. Titden, nnd there was never a time in Mr. Hill’s history when ho was so tUttere 1 by their confi dence.

Now, Mr. Editor, it is doing some extra ordinary work (or General Gordon or his backers, and the General says he has no money, aud didn't have fifty cents when he started for Europe; so it is dear some body i, doing w lot of advertising of their champion trick clown, and '‘paying, un i paying well for it.’"Governor McDaniel cun testify to all these facts.

They did uot intond to iueult yon by charging you with being corrupted by the money of tbe Cen tral railroad. If the Central road will make a bid up that war, see how the "cat will jump.” Huntington waa found in their columua in the year 1878, and they were charged with handling his money in tbe same way they handled Governor rn V nitil Kinitmll'BnintiAV- Tlinv "nnt vote for him. His release from tho regi went was os honorable us the truest bravery could ask. Uo was sent homo to die and the very fact that ho accepted and worked in the department home is indisputable proof his loyalty to the South, if ho had d'sired ' , or if be had not sought the place he held, nor have done a thing under the circum stances he conld have staid at home, for he was physically unable lo perform any ser vice, and tho brave soldiers of the Niutb Senate anil the causes that toil to it, be said, referring to his opponents: "They think be got to gambling nnd get ting drunk and into riotous living; that is what they think ho did.” "They" do not think any snob thing, and have never made aneb charge.

They "cut quite a figure"—wanted to challenge some body, and did Bend a belligerent demand for “retraction,” etc., which melted off be fore the evidence, like “butter before the sun.” "If yon would he willing to have Plain Talk probe the matter, I will say now that somebody is "paying and paying well'' for their advocacy of General Gordon, and point you to their peculiar journalistic eth ics aa proof of tbe same. If Mr. Wadley hod been willing to go with the Constitution against the Railroad Commission tall, the Constitution would have "printed all he needed,” and just "called on him for money when they need-d it." Boweaay! How natural! "The milk in the cocoanut!” And the que.-tion now arisee, who did con vert them from a furious advocacy of the commi-ei»n to a most malignant opposition?
