THE GEORGIA INVESTIGATION

The JudiciAry Committee of the SENATE
has made 3 unanimous report upon the in
quiry whether improper means wero used
to influence the notion of Senators upon
the Georgia bill The report ncquits Sena~
tors Of having. been thus influenced, bn.
shows that corrupt means w.re Iesorted to
by other parties. The principal persons
implicated arc Governor Bullock, OF Geor-
gin, md Mr. Forney, Of the Washington
Chronicle. Governor Bullock, it appears.
spent $40, 600 in money and railroad bonds,
to defeat what is known as the Bingham
amendment to the Georgia bill. That
amendment provided that tho persons now
holding executive and legislative Offices in
Georgia, under the State Constitution,
shall go out Of Office at the expiration Of the
terms for which they were respectively
| elected
| One part Of his proceeding was to get up
public meeting, at Washington, of all the
impecunious md diReputahle hangers-on-
and to have speeches made, and resolutions
adopted. The proceedings Of this Meeting,
carefully written up for effect, and accom-
! panied by thrilling editorials, were all pub
| lished in the Chronicle; snd for this
! service Governor Bullock paid several
thousand dollars to the editor Of the
Chroniel<. We donb. whether there
is another example Of such Guhsr-
nutotial enterprise, or such patriotic
jou1nalisn- The editor accounts for his
receipt Of tho money By saying that he
charged for printing the speeches, and the
resolutions and tho accompanying editorial
notices, Is advertisements, and that, ii con-
sideration OF the 'characser OF the matter,
be charged Triple md quadrup1e rates. The
fraukness of the confession is especially
complimentary to the several Senatora and
Representatives who spoke at the meeting
The editor charged three prices for ths
space they occupied in his columns!
As the whole contest in the case of Geor
gia relates to pzolouging the official life o
the man Bullock beyond the term for which
hc was elected, there ought to be an imme
diate and unanimous vote OF both houses
remanding him to tho popular Judgment O
the people Of the State whose money he ha
taken and used TO- influence Congress to de
feat both the Law and the popular will. H
ought to be no longer tolerated even in tl
lobby, but should be spurued by everybod

has been particularly damaged by the reyt
laGons Of the committee. Hereafter
whenever he supports or opposes any pal
