We have arctic waves, solar waves, elec

can account for all these in terms more
or less satisfactory, but what scientist ran
account for what we are compelled to rail

sneeessfnl newspaper must experience
them to a greater or lesa degree, and it is
only this supposition that prevents us
from relapsing into astonishment at the
sudden and unexpected manner in which
the subscription wave sometimes rolls
into this office. We have recently
liad this experience with Tire

lull in the receipt of subscriptions to that
important offshoot of the daily, but week

that time new names have been coming

continue to come. It mustnot be under

like them. They are far more comforta

where we ran stand them if they last all

The Funeral of Julian llarfrldge.
Tire obac«inics of the Hon. Julian llart-
ridge last ^Sunday were the most impos
ing ever witnessed in .Savannah, and con
st tinted a well-earned tribute to one of
the most eloquent, one of tlie moat un
selfish and one of the ablest Georgians of
onr time. The procession which followed
the remains of tho dead congressman to
their last resting-place represented the
spontaneous (Nitpouring of the people,
both white and colored. Perhaps no
public man of modern time* was ever
held in such love and esteem by those
among whom he moved and those whom
Ire represented as Julian Hartridge.
Ilia manly candor, his unaffected
modesty and the charming char
acteristics of a nature thoroughly
winsome and winning endeared him to
all who knew him i«ersonally v while his
splendid abilities and marvelous elo
quence won for him tlie sincere admira
tion of the whole country.
The procession was the largest ever
seen in Savannah. In addition to the
long array of carriages occupied by mem
bers of congress, tho city authorities,
members of tire bar, and citizens gener
ally, then* were twenty-three military
companies in line—fourteen white, in
cluding a comjsmy of United States ar
tillery, and eight colored. Thirty min
utes were required for the imposing
cortege to pass any given point, and when
the military were drawn up st the
cemetcrv gate, the left of the line rested
upon Montgomery street, fa thus hon
oring her gifted son, Savannah has hon-
•ored herself, the state and the whole
south.
Kditous Coxstitctiox—The letter of Sen
ator Hill to the people of Georgia about the
majority report upon the Northeastern rail
road bond investigation, published in Sun
day's Cojwrmrnox, was very generally read
but failed to create any very great interest.
As far as I am able to learn, the letter,
while written with Mr. Hill’s customary
ability, did not present any new view of the
matter, and failed to make any impression
upon tb6 public mind. It evoked more dis
sent than approval. Its | options were con
tested by many upon the ground of conflict
Ith tlie facts, as shown by the evidence
taken bv the committee. It was not
gmrded as by any means a dangerous attack
upon the majority report of the legislative
committee, nor as likely to liave much
weight. Its generalities about the impro
priety aud bad results of using public office
for private gain were not considered
plicable to the case. The attempt to show
an analogy between Tweed’s robbery of mil
lions of do'.lars from the city of New York,

And some «g|»re.%*e(l indignation that Mr.
Hill shouldne putting the statp of Geoi-gia
a false position by endeavoring to show
in the state a parallel condition of corrup
tion to that existing in New York during
the period of the enormous peculation* of
the Tweed robbers upon a basis no trivial.
I shall endeavor to succinctly state some of
the points presented in refutation of the
sion from both sides.

evil in this country. Mr. Hill is none too
cmpliatic on tliia subject. He has not
and cannot denounce it in too severe
terms; and we hopo to live long enough
to see his views carried into practice—to
sec all branches of the government con
ducted according to the severer and bet
ter methods of the happier years of the
republic. But we are somewhat puzzled
by Mr. Hill’s application of the general
principle to the rolling-mill matter. We
cannot see why it doe. not apply equally
as well to a representative of the state as
to a clerk of the state, the one being di
rectly and the other indirectly * creature
•of the legislature, neither gaining office
at the hands of the governor,
nor being removable at his pleasure.
Mr. Hill'* contract with the rolling-mill
company does, it is true, refer to legal
proceedings, but Mr. Hill’s own evidence
shows that he was retained and appeared
before the goveenor in the matter before
legal proceedings were instituted in con
nection with the state's liabilitv as to the
Northeastern bonds. Mr. Hill is an emi
nent lawyer, and Mr. Murphy is a lawyer
alao; but in Mr. Hill's own words,
“lawyers have no more right to use pub
lic office for private gain than other peo-
ple ’ We therefore move an amendment
to Mr. Hill’s address so that it will include
the hooor**d ivprvaentalive as well as the

CHARGING CORRUPTION ON THE OOVERNOR.
A curious commentary upon Mr. Hill*:
address has been the criti
cism upon his conflicting statement
about the governor’s innocence. In his ad
dress there is a noticeable avoidance of any
change of corruption against the ijovemor
siuuations of his Baltimore
terview. In the address the whole com
plaint against the governor is that the gov-
rupt because he used public office for private
gain. The shifting position so often about
the governor is suggestive. Stabbing the
governor’s character under the guise of de
voted friendship is queer friendship, not de
sirable. He shows bis love to tlie’governor
by attempting to blast his good name.
PATRIOTISM AND FEE.
The strongest criticism upon Mr Hill
r*
motive in the whole matter lias been
selfish desire to seek the public good and
purify the public service. The testimony
taken by the investigation committee
throws a light on the subject that as it has
the sanction of the oath, out
weighs Mr. Hill’s assertions.

to make Mr. Murphy pay the money back
