' ' 1 rlr*n Form of Oath of Offlpf. When an oath of office prescribed liy the Constitution or by statute bo* citnoH a mere- form, no entirely so that a eompllnneo with is had with out any regard for its sanctity or ob ligation, and when In fact the party taking it considers himself to be only qualifying to exorcise the functions of Ids office, it Is high time such form should be ewejit away with the rub bish of the |Mist. These thoughts were suggested on hearing a gentleman who was pres ent, speak of the swearing in of the members of the House by Hon. B. P. Trljipo, one of (ho Judges of the Su preme Court. According to the hear er’s statement, about an hour was consumed on Wednesday last In the calling of a hundred and seventy-five men by sixes, who, with their hands bn the "holy Evangelist of Almighty Ciod,” wero placed on the record as having solemnly averred they had not practiced uny unlawful means,; directly ur indirectly, to procure their election ; thut they had not given, or j offered, or promised, or caused to be given or offered or promised, to any person any money, treat or thing of value with intent to affect any vote, or to prevent any person from voting at tint election at which they were elected.”^ Just think of a clause in our State which requires a mem ber of the Tefclsluture to make outh that ho had not any time before his election given any person employ ment or oven treated, L them with the intent tlmt the sumo should favora bly Incline such persons, and thereby j aJftM't their votes! Perhaps the facts ■ in the ease of cacti and every mem ber was In strict accordance with the above ; and then again, perhaps, as a legislator said some years ago with reference to hts own case, they just “greased tlio oath and swallowed it.” We do protest that if any change is made in our (JbnstUution, this matter should have attention. Men of high character as our legislators for the most part are men who are very far from having perjury at their hearts, should not he compelled under this senseless form to assume the uppour unco of having spoken it with their lips. Tf thought to lie useful or con servative for any purpose, let the statute making it a crime to buy or sell or offer to buy or sell, or to be concerned in buying or selling any vote, remain on the statute book; but lot us no longer continue the folly of requiring the oath of the in dividual as a prerequisite to the exer cise of his legislative functions. quite n OlflVrenee. Henry Clews, in his bankrupt sched ule, returns H. X. Kbabull’s indebted ness to his Arm at #16,000. Kimball, on his schedule, placed the sum at over a million. Who has lied? Kim ball lias just gotten through his third bankrupt investment, and yet he is announced as a half owner of the ho- ! tel which endures his name, and is able to lead hi a cotton factory scheme which is to make Atlanta us big as Now York. The idea of the bankrupt law, as construed in this section, is. that a man just out of its court is ne cessarily poof. But. he went through the mill in New England, and, judg ing the matter by all other prece dents, we may conclude that bank rupt* get more favorable terms there than in rebellious, Democratic Gecu gi. - * Thk Atlanta IhrnUi has been f.nwd by tUo apuntUtlqwt ausfopresriita tiorifl General Toombs to publish an explanation of the transaction be tween the managers of that paper ami the fleneral. The statement of the Herald is crushingtn its atrraign mont of (tenoral Toombs, and places hltu in a miserable light lieforc the world. After tOciKwlngthc unnatural conduct of General Toombs, the Herald gives him this piece of sensi ble talk: "Now wo have a quiet talk for Toombs. There Is no man in our State who could command more re siH'ct, and who does command less, than he. Gifted with an elixfuonoe eajiable of winning the applause of a nation, he l.s content to command the approving hiccoughs of a curb-i sloiK: tigbblo. Armed with a newer that once shivered this Republic, lie ; is sat islb'd now to congregate about ! him the rag-tag of the town and hold them interested by ribald, jest, or I unctuous slander. He who once I held a Senate spell-bound, now as-! plrcs to the aptness of a fishwife or the vernacular of a blackguard. He who onco reasoned for the notion, argued for the world, and was the champion of eutlndio govern ment everywhere, now s\>eiids his time abusing without a cause, do- i nouncing without a pret ext, and .slan dering without responsibility." We do hope, for the credit of the great Georgian, and for the State of Georgia, whose people are, to a great extent, held responsible for ins ut terances, that he will heed the ad- j vice given by the Herald. If lie i could only realize the force and ] truth of flic He.raUl'a words he would. 1 If ho only know wliat a some ■ of! mortification his indecent conduct is to Ids friends, he would spare them 1 the infliction. Even tlio gaping rob- j ble that lie gathers around him to listen to ids ribald jests, though l laughing before his face, pity or do-1 ride him behind his back.-- Atlanta , Commonwealth. This may be true that General Toombs lias acted indiscreetly, and who does not, occasionally ? . We I learn from gentlemen who were in j Atlanta, the remarks of General Toombs about the Legislature, were said in a spirit or playfulness, and made to the members themselves, who at the time, seemed to accept them In the same spirit and without offense. Several papers of the State have taken tip the matter and com menced a crusade against General Toombs. , The General should only sound the praises of Atlanta if ho de sires to be glorified as 11. I. Kimball is, yet one has been honored every way bv the State of Georgia, while the" other’s connection with the State was an attempt to steal it. Ol’H ITI.WI I.KTTKH. ! Hp*-< Cornapotulcace Duly f i¥) -.] Atlanta, Ga., Jan. is, IM7&. i The work in each branch of the Legislature bus been somewhat more I Interesting to-day than usual. Sev ; erul bills came up on their passage in j the Senate, and brought out different members ill debate. Among those, tho bill to change the constitutional f homestead clause was the most iiu i portont. The bill provided for the ! rcpeul of that section of tho consti tution which lines the value of a homestead, and provided that tho Legislature should have jurisdiction over the subject, but limited the j homestead to one thousand dollars. It was advocated by Mr. Howell of the astli (Atlanta) district, mid Mr. Arnow of the 4th, and was opposed by Messrs. Peuvy, Becse, Hudson of the 28th, and others. It was con ceded by all to be a just measure, but was opposed on the ground that a convention shonld be called and take full jurisdiction of this, as well as other defects in the constitution. The vote stood 1!) ayes, is nays; two thirds being required to jmish it, the bill consequently failed. This vote seems to settle tho question that, so far as the Senate is concerned, tho bill for a convention will be passed. Another iini>ortant bill, which fail ed in the Senate, was to make the I offence of stealing a hog, punishable by confinement in the Penitentiary. It failed by a small majority. Tho farmers in the Senate generally voted for It. The time of the House was taken up mainly with reading bills the first and second time. A resolution was Introduced to bring on the election of State Printer on Thursday, but it was not adopted. This election will probably come on Saturday or Mon- 1 day next. Apropos there never was I a better set of canvassers than the printing men here. While very po-l life and gentlemanly, they are ex ceedingly active and make themselves nmstersof the situation. Strong com binations have been made among them, and it is doubtful who will be the successful candidate. The standing committees of the House wero announced to-day. Gen. Lawton, of Chatham, was made Chair- 1 man of tho Judiciary, and W. D. An derson, of Cobb, Chairman of ttie Fi nance Committees. Mr. Grimes was placed on the Committees of the Ju dlciary and Journals, while Judge Williams will serve with the Commit tees on Slate of the Republic and Privileges and Elections. The House Is considerably behind the Senate In its business. In Executive session this morning tho Senate confirmed Hon. Henry 15. Tompkins us Judge of the Eastern j Judicial Circuit, vice Judge Schley j resigned. About the first official act ! of Judge Tompkins was to sentence the notorious Tunis G. Campbell, of j Mclntosh, to the penitentiary for one year, he having been convicted by a j jury in the Superior Court of Mcln tosh county, of using his office of Jus tice of the Peace to oppress a citizen. | Campbell 1h a member elect of the present House, but instead of taking his sent will probably si>end the win- j ter in the coal mines of Hade county. ! He arrived here on Saturday after noon in cl large of a guard, for the lat-1 ter place, when a writ of hnhrax cur ;o was served on the officer having him in charge, which was to be hoard to-day. The result of which has not yet transpired, but it is quite prob able that Campbell’s conviction will stick. The term of office of the present Clerk of the Supreme Court has ex pired, and as it is oueof the best pay ing offices in the State, there are many applications for it. The Clerk J Is elected by the Judges, which will prevent much canvassing. The pres ent incumbent, Mr. Harrison, is a candidate ; tho result is doubtful the income of tho office of Clerk is said to be double that of the Judges; ought tilts so to he? But few strangers remain in town —as the prospect for lobbyists and i "axe-grinders” is i>oor; the prevail ing talk is of economy many schemes for fostering immigration nro suggested, and a bill has been in troduced into one of tho Houses for the appointment of a Commissioner to look after this needful interest. L. A. W. ucnneiA m:\vs. Hubert W. Clarke, sheriff elect of ! Dougherty county, died on the sixth. A negro named I)iek Wagoner ! was burned to death near Covington i one night last. week. He had went to , sleep too nearthe fire, and bis clothes I caught fire. —ln the counties of Clay, Ouitmun, .and Chattahoochee the fulT Domo- I crat.io ticket of county officers was 1 elected. Iu Randolph the full Dem ' ooratlc ticket, with tlie exception of j sheriff, Mr L. A. Smith, known as a candidate on the Tumlin ticket. He! ! was elected over Barry bv 116 ma- ‘ I jority. ! —The IndtipeiidetU hears of a groat - [ deal of sickness in and around Lump- ; kin. Colds, coughs, sniffles and sneezes are plentiful, while some of our citizens are more seriously afflict ed. Dr. 1. W. Stokes and Capt. Kim-; brough have both been down, tlie former for several days and is still 1 unable to be out. Mr. Jenkins has | the pneumonia, the only severe case i of that disease we have heard of. If! tliis miserable sloppy weather eon-1 tinues, we fear much "sickness will be tho consequence. A negro was found dead near! Lumpkin tho other day. lie was seen late in the evening of his death, I very drunk, and it is supposed that he died from exposure. It is complained of by the Lump- 1 kiuites that a great deal of Stewart county trade Is going to Eufaula. If they wont trade at home send them to Columbus. 1 " One Saltie! of Selma writes to tlie | Nortli us follows: “The feeling against Republicans j is so strong in Alabama now that the | Democracy is victorious, that I find ] it all tlmt inv life is worth to remain ! in the State much longer. I have/ closed up my business, but hardly remain to make collection of debts. I must leave here.” Everybody in Selma (where he lived.) knows tlmt “Old Halt,” did not stay there long enough to puy the negro ex-Congressman, Ben Tur- j ner, the money that he boat Ben out of. If anv Democrat over thought of j harming Baltlol, it must have been because they mistook him for a yel low dog.— MoutijomtTU Advertiser. (.1.01(1.1 l LEtMUTI HP.
