Many of our exchanges have im¬
peached aiclao doubt wrong'u lv, Gov.
Colquitt ut making barter and sale in
the resignation, and appointment of
lion. hilin !». (Jordon, and Joseph E.
Broun. We have not a single doubt
in our mind bin what (Jov. Colquitt,
was actuated by pure and proper
motives in the appointment; and where
is the crime committed in the reigna*
lion of Gordon. Cannot a man retire
tiom public life without being bought.
Has not the Goveiior the right ' to tip
peint J. E. Brown ? and we tire sure
lie c ould have got worse, for we think
the appointment a judicious one. And
wo will have to have stronger
evidence than any v/e have met bo
fore we will believe a single word that
he is mi'ilty ot the great crime he is
charged with of making barter of the
position . . tlie . Mate of .

»llow me a small space m your vabTaWRttre
pc per to drop only a short note regarding
die great distinction made by the railroads, n
the southeast portion of Georgia towards the
hotels. Mr. Eiiitor, I have traveled all over
the Slate of Georgia and liave slopped at
many lmtls. and have often noticed the
courtesy extended hotels by the train ou the
vmi ms roads, but never have I noticed a
single instance where such management lias
been imposed as there is in the little town
of Jesup, towards the hotels at that place,
It is invariably practiced on all the rail roads
where it has been my privilege to travel, if
there were two hotels to come to a halt im
medially on the half way ground so as to
benefit both as much as possible. I notice in
destip, that the tr in riins clear beyond the
Jesup House (I believe that is what tln-y
call it,) and stop opposite the Altamuha
House, perfectly ignoring the existance of
the other. We know not what for, for we
have stopped at both, and find the Jesup
House in the culinary Departement, far
>i,l P er b ,r to dm other. W ill not the.8., I*.
& W TVy efficient managers consider the
matter,even the loss to themselves, and
chant;* the mode of the present managemet.
