IMPEACHMENT.
Mr. W. L. Goldsmith, Comptroller
General of Georgia has had articles of
impeachment voted against him in the
house of representatives. If h9 is guil
ty of the charges preferred he ought to
be impeached. But from the evidence
we have seen published we hardly think
the evidence will enable the Senate to
convict him. The charges are of fraud
connected with the wild land tax mat
ters. As the case seems to stand
we fear the trial before the senate will
cost the State ten or fifteen thousad dok
lars for nothing. However, let ns sus
pend judgment and see. Unless some
new evidence of an extraordinary nature
has been brought before the committee,
we rather tliink^he impeaelimeut pro
ceedings premature, especially if they
result in acquittal when the suspicion of
guilt is strong, and ho positive proof
can be obtained.—We are afraid our sc
ions want to shoot boforo they
Kood aim.
church Montmartre, of Paris, that the
Spaniard Ignacio de Loyola and six oth
er students of theology, all of for-
eign niitionality, resolved, on the loth
of August, 1534, to found an association
destined to play so great a role in the
world and to exercise th e most injurious
influence. This association, which had
for its object to convert the infidels and
to furnish a militia to the sovereign
Pontiff, was definitely constituted by a
bull of Pope Paul" III, on the 27th of
September; 1540, under the title of So
ciety of Jesus.
They took as a motto: “Everything
for the greatest glory to God.” As
rule of conduct: “The end justifies the
means;” and obtained of Julius HI.,
not only all the privileges of the mendi
cant orders of the regular priests, but
also exemption from all jurisdiction, su-
pcrintendenci or taxation, be it Episco
pal or temporal, as well for the mem
bers of the Order as for its possessions.
Only amenable to the Pope and their
General, free from all shackles, they
could pursue, with wonderful suppleness
and astonishing tenacity, the aim which
they desired to attain: the domination
of the society.
In this work the Jesuits had for
chiefs twenty-two Generals, the names
of whom were as follows: Ignacio de
Loyola, of Spain, 1540: Jaques Lainez,
of Spain, 1558, who was the venerable
organizer of the Society; Francis de
Borgia, of Spain, 1565; Everhard Hern-
rian, of Belgium, 1572; Claude Aquvi-
ya, of Naples, 1580; Mutius Yit elles-
chi, of Borne, 1615; Yincent Caraffa, of
Naples, 1643; Franci3 PiccolomiDi, of
Florence, 1629; Alexander Gotifredo, of
1951; Goswin Nielsc-l, of Germa
ny, 4652; Paul Oliva, of Genoa, 1668;
Charles de Noyelle, of Belgium, 1681;
Tbyrse Gonzales, of Spain, 1686; Michel-
AngeTamburini, of Modena, 1708; Fran
cis Betz, of Bohemia, 1730; Ignacio Vis
conti, of Milan, 1750; Louis Oenturioni,
of Genoa, 1755, to whom succeeded Lo
renz Ricci, of Florence, in 1757. As to
the present General of the Jesuits, we
give here a short sketch of his career:
Father John Peter Becks was born in
Siehem, in Brabant, on the 9th of Feb
ruary, 1795; the sod of a peasant, he
was sent to the seminary and received
the priesthood in 1819. After having
been Vicar, he entered the Jesuits at
Wildersheim, became then the confes
sor of the Duke of Anhalt-Kcethen, and
acquired a great influence over the
Prince and the Duchess, his wife. Af-
fer the death of her husband, she took
■Father Becks with her to Vienna, where
Lis supple mind, full .of n sources, did
not fail to make him remarkable, and
procured to him iu 1847, the nomina
tion of Procurator of the province of
Austria. The Jesuits, havfng been
banished from this country in 1848,
Father Becks was sent to Louvain,
where he. was Director of the college of
his Order.
But soon the triumphaut reaction
permitted him to return to Austria.-—
Father Becks contributed powerfully to
make rule the clerical ideas in the gov
ernment of the young Francis Joseph,
and caused the Order of the Jesuits to
be re-established i n Hungary. The zeal
which he displayed under these circum
stance, and the ability of which he gave
evidence, placed him in the front rank
of his Order. So after the death of
General Roothaan, in 1853, he was
called by the general congregation of
the order, to succeed him. He settled
in Borne in fcfie house of the General,
which he left in 1S73, to settle in Flor
ence,
Uuder the direction and the impulse
of Father Becks the Society of Jesus
has made enormous' progress and ac
quired considerable extension.—Trans
lated for the Home Journal.
NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
They were discovered recently, and will
doubtless prove of decided interest to
the people of Houston and adjacent
counties. This however, appears lo
add another link to our chain of evi
dence that nature is continually being
developed, and becoming suited to the
conveniences and necessities of man.
How far is it to Sulphur Springs?—
Whicli. way? How long since, and by
whom were they discovered? Ls there
any.hoarding establishment? Who
the proprietor? While many other
questions are being propounded, it is
suggested that we go out riding and
visit our sulphur springs.
Well, it is a pleasant afternoon, the
ardent rays of old Sol being shut out by
a cloudy sky, all agreed to go; and now
the pally being separated and arranged
so as to make every feature of the even
ing pleasant and agreeable, we are on
our way to tiie new watering-place.—
Very soon we arrive. Here are the
springs, as we observed at a distance by
the inscription above in large black
letters. What a beautiful place! How
romantic! But the intent of our curios
ity is to ascertain its virtues, its merits,
etc. We are anxious to examine the
water, to apply some physical test.—
What a peculiar odor! As we drink of
this water, we conclude that it possess
es a considerable quantity of this non
metal. They. are evidently sulphur
springs. Everybody has access, and are
invited and welcome to partake of the
water as it flows out in so great abun
dance from maler terra. Houston should
be proud of her sulphur springs; take an
interest in them; improve their condi
tion, their surroundings, etc., and at
some future day she can offer, and per
haps recommend, it as a splendid re
sort for health seekers and the infirm.
Owing to their location and their pres
ent surroundings, we can say but little
about them that is very commendable.
The springs can be found on Sandy
Bun, near the junction of the creek and
the Ocmulgee river, not far from the
Bell place. From an interview with a
gentleman who is an invalid, and who
visits the springs daily, I learn that is
doing him good and improying his con
dition very rapidly. Although he has
gained several pounds, yet he is nearly
transparent. May he continue to visit
sulphur springs until he weighs as much
as bis wife; and when his health is re
stored he can with a smile of approba
tion and expression of “happy ex
change,” assure others that it will do
them good. Tweezebs.

It is an established fact that Quinine

this purpose there is nc better remedy.
But it is also an established fact that
they do not remove the cause that pro
duces the Chills. For if they did, the
Chills would not return on the 7th, 14th,
