Mr.. GooDMAN--W When we take
birds eye view of the financial condition
Of our State when eve see lin many
nstances) the large unnc ceasary expen-
ditures made by some of the authorities
Of the State, among them the per diem
pay voted by the Legislature to them
selves &c, it becomes alarming to the
honest Tax Payer of the country, and
should be arrested at once if possible
1t is not only alarming. but it is looked
upon by the people as an outrage and a
disgrace too grievous to be borne.
Is there no remedyR | will las an
humble citizcn) venture to suggest one,
so far as the per diem pay is concerned.
Let the conservative people Democrats
and ally meet in mass, in every county
in the State, and select their candidates
good and true men. Let the candid
ates promise the people, to guard with
watchful eye, every interest, but es-
pecalIy the financial interest of the
State. Let them promise to use all
laudable means to Saducc the PEI diem
to six dollars, and ifthey are unsucccss-
full then let them draw pay in common
with the rest Of the members; but when
they return tc their constituents, let
them turnover to the treasury of the
county, all over and above six dollars
per day, to be appropriated by the
Grand Jury of the county to some char
table purpose, or otherwise as they in
their wisdom may direct
1t is argued by some that unless we
pay high wages, we cannot engage the
best talent of the State to serve us. Sir,
it is acknowledged upon all hands, that
we have some good and noble men in
the General Asscmbly-men who are
ready and willing to do all that they can
to promote the welfare, and to advance
the interest Of The State; bat if ma
ority of the present Legislature Gnclud-
ing thirty or forty fifteenth amendments
and eUer so mahy foreigners be a correct
sample of the best talent of the Empire
State of. the South, then we ask, yea,
beg, 10 be relieved of such talent.
We would ask, in answer to the above
argument, what kind of men served the
State in the days of Troup, Mcdonald,
Cobb and others ? What their pay z
What the number of scorking hours per
day?
1t would be very desirable to the peo-
pie if the time consumed by the Legis-
lature could be curtaiIed; perhaps as
much or more SO, than that Of reducing
the per diem pay, &c.
Mr.. Goodman = because | write an
occasional piece for your paper, some one
may be so unkind as to call me an asplr-
ant for office not so. The Office ought
to seek the man and not the man the of
flee. What | write is intended for the
good of my country, not for selfaggran-
dizement. If | desired an office ever Sc
much, ] could not hold one in conse'
quencc of my disabilities. The l4'l
amendment is against mo. Again, il
| was qualified otherwise, | do not fee
that have been citizen of the county
long enough to cnlillc me to tho suffrage
Of the people.
Respectfully Yours,
A &. MCINTOsH.

JUDGE LINTON STEPHENS LETTER

JUDGE LINTON STEPHENS LETTER
Judge Stephens, recently appointed
Chairman of the State Democratic Elk
ecutive Committee, and the Atlanta In
telHgencer, both think it better for the
Democracy to run such men as TooMBs
for Congress than others who can take
the required oaths.
The National Executive Committee
of the party has warned us thatthe hope
of the democracy lies in the North; that
if we select Objectionable candidates, OIL
such as will be excluded, we will weak
en- if not destroy the party, and yet, dull
ness or stupidity or something worse
suggests this course of action.
Are there no honest, sound, capable
men in the South but those who con-
cocted secession If there are not the
sooner we abandon politics altogether
the better.
