The protracted meeting which
should have commenced at the Pres

has been postponed until the middle
of July.
A Sunday' evening prayer meeting
is held every Sunday at the Second
Baptist church. The services are
thought to be more largely attended
than the weekly prayer meetings.

and his mother is only 31 years old.
She has given birth to four triplets
and four twins, and there are only 3
boys among them. Dr. Hobbs has
talked with Airs. Sherman’s sister,
and also has a letter from a respon¬

who know these facts to be true.

EON. JEPP DAVIS.
In answer to General Allies, who
imputed dishonesty to John C*<»1
houn, Jefferson Davis makes the fol¬
lowing reply. (See Prison Life of
Jefferson Davis, page 206.) the limes
“One of tbe worst signs of
is looseness with which imputations
of dishonesty* are mane and accepted
against public men in eminent sta
tions They who spit against the
wind spit in their own faces, and
such.charges come back to soil the
men who make them. If an individ
nal hak any j roof of dishonesty
against a | ublic man, he should
bring his charges indue form and
have an open trial; but when an en¬
tire people or tin if great majority,
greedily accept and believe any un¬
supported imputation of corruption
against a distinguished statesman,
or other officer, it argues corruption
in their own minds, and they, sus¬
pect it in others because conscious
it would be their own course if en¬
dowed with power.”
These remarks of Air. Davis can
be appropriated by those who are
slinging mud at General Gordon.

Dirt was broken last Monday on
the Union Point and White Plains
railroad, in Greene county*, The
road will be thirteen miles in length
and runs through level country, and
the grading will be light. The work
is being done by convict labor, and
the estimated cost of the road will
be about $75,000. The track will
be standard gauge, and when com¬
pleted the road will be turned over
to the management of the Georgia
railroad, who will equip it with roll

family first; not that lie thinks less
of his farm and its belongings, but
more of his wife and children.

GORDON’S RESIGNATION.
“J. L. AI.” contributes the follow¬
ing article to the Constitution of
June 22d:
It is said by some of Gordon’s
friends, and by all his enemies, that
he ought not to have resigned the
office of senator at a time when the
governor could appoint a successor—
but to have waited till he could de¬
liver back tlie office directly to the
people People, or the who legislature. thus, forget
reason
that they* thereby require General
Gordon to have pertormed an impos
sibility. Article 1., section 2.. para¬
graph IV. constitution of the United
States, says:
“When vacancies happen in the
representation from any state, the
executive authority thereof shall is¬
sue writs of election to fill such va¬
cancies.” And again iu same ar
tile, section 3., paragraph II., it is
said:
“And if vacancies happen by res¬
ignation or otheiwise during the re¬
cess of the legislature of any state,
the executive thereof mav make tem¬
porary' appointments till the next
meeting of the legislature.” General Gordon
When, therefore,
decided to give up the office of sena¬
tor, the highest law in all the land—
which he had sworn to support—
commanded him, in any event, to
surrender that office into the hands
of the governor. This he did, and it
is surely beyond all reason to expect
that he should then have constituted
himself guardian over Governor Col¬
quitt to supervise the further dispo¬
sition of the office. If his sense of
propriety or his taste suggested a
time for that surrender different
from the time which might have
been dictated by the tastes of other
gentlemen, the old Latin adage may
very appropriately be quoted: “De
gustibus non disputantum.” About
taste there can be no disputing.
Thursday last Twiggs county
went for Bacon and Oconee county
for Gordon. Each county has two
delegates. The vote now stands—
Gordon 70 and Bacon 52. Gordon
by this is 18 delegates ahead,

An office seeker sent in his card
to the president inscribed “jest a
minit.” The president said lie had
no time to jest a minute; and be¬
sides, running the government and
trying to please both mugwumps
and democrats was no jesting mat
ter. Spelling reformers shouldn’t
be put into the offices, anyhow.
The little spell of weather we are

jor Bacon were Baptist preachers.”
That depends on whether we
judge the gentlemen named accord¬
ing to what their enemies or their
friends say of them. Impartial
judges, however, agree that they are
all pretty good men, Arthur’s worst
