THE GAZETTE. 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, SENATE. September 13*—The hill foi’ the re lief of the lunatic asylum and one in regard to stenography were discussed, when the hour for the monotonous high court of impeachment again airived. HOUSE. Bills on their third reading : A hill to make it a felony for presidents and directors of banks to receive money when they are knowingly in an insol vent condition, was passed. A hill to prevent betting on elections was lost. A bill to prevent the running of rail road express or passenger trains on the Sabbath day was made the special order for next Thursday. A bill to amend the school law of 1872, so as to require greater competency of teachers, was tabled. Yellow Fever Aotes. The yellow fever, or at least the num ber of deaths from about the usual num ber of cases, is decreasing at Memphis. Thirteen new were reported on the loth.

It is thought that lie will be impeached. > * 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.” > —i i If you want a how-legged son to con sole your old age and have a good gait for plowing on a hill-side, let him rub his feet together when a baby. That’s what does it. 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. Benton.
