RISING FAWN, GA.:
Thursday, Sept. I.Btli, ,1879.
Comptroller-General Goldsmith ami
Assistant Treasurer Murphy, sent in
their resignations on Finlay, but the
Governor refused to accept them.
- \
r riie total appropriations for th<s Geo
logical Bureau of Georgia for five years
were $50,000, while the expenditures
for four years were about $49,000.
The administration begins to look with
itiore favor on the much abused paternal
dollars, now that the demand for them
front the South and West is nearly equal
to the joining, capacity of the mints. The
appreciation of silver as a standard of
value is increasing all over the civilized
World.
The Atlanta Constitution says that
John C. Jacobs, who was informally
nominated for Governor by the New
York Democratic State Convention, is
a State Senator, a brilliant lawyer of
Brooklyn, and a staunch supporter of
the reform administration. He has been
speaker ot the lower house three or
four times, and is regarded as one of the
truest, purest aud most promising of the
public men of the State.
V;-'; •• • • ,v . -
The Chicago Tribune, in a carefully
prepared article on the situation, admits
that the presidency cannot be stolen
again through an electoral commission
or any artful device—both houses
of Congress being Democratic, and both
remaining Democratic nntil the next
count is completed. It therefore de
clares that the Republicans must carry
New York {o secure the next presidency.
' There is no doubt of the fact that the
whole available strength, pecuniary,
moral and official, of the Republican
party, vill be applied to elect the Cor
nell ticket. * It is a struggle for the life
ot a great party compressed within the
' bounds of a single State.
*’ ~ ■
. Tlie Atlanta Constitution remarks
that' the lowa and Ohio elections come
'flefi&pnamely, on the fourteenth of next
-THoifitW. The lowa election, like that
of Vermont, is always recorded in na
tional politics before it takes place. But
in Ohio there is a contest of deep inter-,
"estand intense activity. The result in
this state involves two things of gener
al interest—its effect on the presidential
election, and the seat in the United
States senate now filled by Judge Thur
man.' The struggle will deepen as elec
tion 'day approaches; and all that we
need say. at present is, nothing lias
thus far occurred to cast a shadow on the
prospects of a Democratic victory.

A special dispatch from Atlanta to
Associated Press says the reports of
Ha fatal fever raging in the counties of
Paulding and Harrison have not
been overdrawn. Within a few days
over fifty men have died in an exclus
ively rural population. The victims
are mostly young men. Those attacked
with it puffer horribly, the tongue turn
. iiig black and swelling to double its
usual size, and blood oozing from the
mouth and ears. After death tlie bodies
become spotted and discolored. One
physician reported that of twenty-nine
cases under his treatment not one re
covered. The course of the disease is
run in a few clays. The greatest alarm
and. distress prevails, and the disease is
steadily spreading. Physicians pro
nounce it spotted typhus fever.
. ..... ... .4
Cleavlaud Planner : The cheek of the
Republican party in assuming that the
remarkable prosperity of the times
would be an. element in; their favor is
amusing. Is it the Republican party that
'has raised the unex amp leds crops of wheat
and corn and hay and cotton and, tobac
co and other products that make up that
prosperity? When it comes to counting
the producers and owners as the crops,
it will be found that there are as many
Democrats as Republicans among them,
if not more. The prospeaty of this
country is based on agriculture and the
farmers are mostly of demociatic t \ pe>
very few of them having had a chance
to hold office or stoal anything. When
they reach this stage they begin to vote
the Republican ticket but not befoie.
' Legislative.
SENATE.
September B. —The hill for the pun
ishment of the class of vagrants com
monly known as tramps Was taken up
.and vigorously discussed. Mr. Lump
kin proposed to amend the hill by ad
ding “ book agents, lightning-rod men,
tree peddlers, and agents for liver-pa ls.”
Mr. Hudson made a vigorous speech
against the hill. He did not propose to
make it a crime for a man to ask for
bread aud water upon the public road.
A lively discussion arose between the
speaker and other senators upon the lia
bility of LaSarus to arrest under the
tramp law, Were he living in these days.
The speaker insisted that lie intended to
kill the hill if he could, and he certainly
did his best. Pending the debate the
senate went into session as the high
court of impeachment, and no more leg
islative action was had during the day.
HOUSE.
Mr. Cox moved to reconsider the pas
sage of the railroad bill, and a motion
was made to lay on tho table, which was
agreed to.
The special order Was to establish a
county court in every county of this
state. An amendmentgvas offered de
daring that the julge must be a licensed
attorney, which was lost. Mr. Cobh
opposed the appointment of county
judges by the governor. He thought
the judges whom the people used to
elect were as good as we ever had. He
was not afraid to trust the people. The
bill was indefinitely postponed.
SENATE.
September 9. —The tramp bill, as the
unfinished business of yesterday, was
taken up and passed. The hill defines
a tramp to be one “ found wandering,
strolling or passing about from house to
house, or from neighborhood to neigh
borhood, begging or otherwise annoying
any of the citizens of this state, having
no fixed abode in the locality where
found, and being physically able to
work.” i'he punishment is a fine not
to exceed SI,OOO, work in the chain
gang of the county for six months, in
the penitentiary for six months, cither
or both, fine or imprisonment. The
person charged may defend by showing
that he was in good.faith seeking em
ployment at customary wages in the lo
cality where found.
HOUSE.
Some unimportant action was taken
on the hill to establish a county coy.rt
in every county in the state, and the
hill now stands as it came from the
senate.
Mr. Livingston and Mr. King had a
few words, followed \>y explanations,
when the house adjourned.
SENATE.
September 10.—After the transac
tion of some unimportant business the
senate resumed its session as a court of
impeachment. The proceedings to-day
consisting of evidence, cross-examina
tions, etc., and being ot no interest to
the readers of the Gazette, we omit
them entirely.
HOUSE.
A motion to suspend the rules for the
consideration of the county court hill
was lost,
The unfinished business was the con
sideration of the hill to re-establish the
geological bureau. The committee of
the whols had reported adversely to the
hill. On tha adoption of the report the
yeas and called and it it re
sulting in a vote of 79 to 51, the ad
verse report was agreed to and the bill
lost.
Among the hills on their .third reading
was one to carry out the provisions of
the constitution relative to furnishing
maimed confederate saldiers with artifi
cial limbs. Mr. Strother appealed to
the house for the hill as an act of justice
to the wounded soldiery of the south.
Mr. Paine thought it would be better to
give the soldiers the money than the
limbs, and was opposed by Mr. Irvine.
Mr. McWhorter moved the passage of
the hill, which was agreed to, The bill
passed by 114 yeas to 5 nays.
A bill to prevent railroad companies
from pooling their earnings was tabled.
SENATE.
September 11.—Questions in regard
to the stenographic reports ol the pro
ceedings of the court of impeachment,
were discussed; The senate then pro
ceeded as a court of impeachment.
HOUSE.
After a motion for the reconsideration
of so much of the journals related to
the adverse action of tbe*iou.se on the
hill to re-establish the geological bu
reau, and other business of minor note,
the reports of the special committee on
the investigation of the official conduct
of J. W. Renfroe, state treasurer, were
submitted, and were heard with great
interest, * ' -
SENATE.
September 12.—A hill to prohibit
the employment or detention of minors
in conflict with the will of parents or
guardians, and also to punish the
same, was referred to the committee on
judiciary.
The special order, which was a hill of
the senate to relieve the lunatic asylum,
was taken up, and after countless amend
ments and lengthy discussion and be
fore any definite action was had on the
subject matter j the hour of 11 o’clock
arrived and the high court of impeach-,
ment convened.
HOUSE.
The following hills were put upon
their third reading : A bill to disqual
ify any judge holding railroad stock
from presiding -in any suit where inter
est of any railroad is at stake ; passed.
A hill to prescribe that land lines he
run once in every ten years ; tabled. A
hill for the protection of game and fish
in this state. Mr. Dickins moved to
strike out wood-pecker and insert hum
ming bird. The friends of the bill were
especially in favor of it, as it protected
insectiverous birds. All amendment
was offered that no squirrel, deer, or
opossum he killed, except lor table uses ;
lost. The hill was finally tabled,

lief of the lunatic asylum and one in

vent condition, was passed. A hill to

What is the Tongue. For ?—“Since
God made the tongue, and he never
makes any thing in vain, we may be
sure lie made it for some good purpose.
What is it, then?” asked a teacher one
day of her class.
“He made it that we may pray with
it,” answered one boy.
“To sing with,” said another.
“To talk to people with,” said a thud.
“To recite our lessons with,” replied
another.
“Yes; and I will tell you what he did
not make it for. He did not make it for
us to scold with, to lie with, or to swear
with, lie did not mean that we should
say unkind or foolish, indecent or impa
tient thing with it. Now, boys, think
every time you use your toungues, if
you are using them in the way God
means you to. Do good with your
tongues Mind not evil. It is one ot the
most useful members in the whole body,
although it is so small. Please God
with it every day.”

Washington lA*lfei\
[Correspondence of the Rising Fawn Gazette.]
Washington, D. C., Sept* 12, 1879.
Convention yesterday had been the
first of the kind that ever occurred, they
would occasion among Demociats
throughout the Country more uneasiness
as to the result of the Coming election.
Even if those who threaten to holt the
nomination of the convention were able
to carryWith them the whole Demo
cratic vote of New \ork city, there would
be reason for 'alarm, hut they cannot
do.this. The party, without the aid ol
those who have placed themselves out
side of its lilies, is amply able to carry
the State.
It was said, repeated, and denied, that
Mr. Hayes would make a political speech
during bis westward'journey. There
seems now to be no doubt that he will
do so. One who saw the speech in
manuscript says it is political in its
character, being manly a defense of the
position taken in bis vetoes sent to
Congress. It will deal at length with
the question of Federal relations to the
States, and take strong grounds against
the doctrine of States’ lights.
In connection with this fact it may
be mentioned that Mr. Hayes denies that
he favored the “General Order No. 1,”
on the subject of connection of public
officers with election campaigns, etc. He
says, or his first friends say for him, that
he signed the order, which was writ
ten by Secretary Scliurz, only after that
gentleman had repeatedly requested him
to do so* It may be added here, as it
was by the person who now exposes this
administration secret, that Secretary
Schurz was the first man who asked
Mr. Hayes to violate the order.
Hon. Hamilton Fish is now mentioned
for the English mission. Mr. Hayes
could do much worse than that, and
probably will.
In relation ro a recent report that the
Treasury refused to receive silver dollars
for Certain purposes, the Secretary
says the statement is absolutely false
and without a shadow of foundation.
The law makes the silver dollar a legal
.tender for all purposes, and it always
has been, received by the Treasury in
payment of demands of every kind, and
,as fully and freely as gold coin.
