Scientist* can account for all these in terms more or less satisfactory, but what scientist ran account for what we are compelled to rail anbscription waves? We suppose every 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 Wkckly < 'osrriTTTio*. For a month nr to there liad been a sort of lull in the receipt of subscriptions to that important offshoot of the daily, but week before last the wave struck us and since that time new names have been coming in with astonishing rapidity. In one day the aabscriplion lists of Tire Wskkly OlXsnTCTiox received an addition of one hundred and forty names, and they still continue to come. It mustnot be under stood by onr friends that this is a protest against subscription waves. We rather like them.

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.

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 humble clerk.

He endeavors to make out Itecause they said Mr. Murphy liad violated to construe Governor Colquitt’s refusal to do what he could not do, viz.: dbchaxge Murphy from his place as an approval of crime.

MURTHY ALIKE. Mr. Hill’s denunciations of corruption in Murphy recoil upon himself, for he tried to do what Murpliy did. He is an officer of the state, while’Murphy is only the clerk officer. Mtirpliv contracted to work for the governors indorsement, and so did Hill. Murphy did work and so did Hill. Murphy was to get a fee and so was Hill. Murphy got his fee. “« M here is tne differenc— testimony, swears lie went to the „ jior and’ urged him to indorse the bonds before any litigation was thought of and the litigation was ih* suggestionj>f tlie governor; so it is not true that Mr. Hill did not work for the in dorsement before lie conducted any litiga tion. Mr. Murphy/ contracted to get the views of certa? a».p f dnwmi* -and got them, The two occupied the same position. Both contracted to do the same thing for a fee, and both were in the eranloy If it was a crime in Murphy.it was a greater crime in Hill, for Hill held a higher place. And if Mr. Hill’s elaborate addre.«s makes Murphy criminal, it makes him criminal in a ten-fold degree. If Murphy was guilty of using a public office for private gain, so was Hill. Murphy, the clerk, had as mnrii right to practice before the governor as Hill, the senator. Hill proposed to plead a de cision of the courts and Murphy a statute.

If there is anything in Mr. Hill’s address, he lias simply pilloried himself. If he lias be has framed an i 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. Tlie proof is conclusive that fee and noth’ ing hut fee was tlie inspiration of 8enator Hill. In January, 1*78, “ good." Xo harm iadone, and hi* con-1 wuHliem <’«as t °I ‘he Mediterranean.
