RED HOT. j"

Rome has just held her city cleo"
ton in which three tickets were in
the field, headed by Mayor SpuIlock.
T. w. Alexander and Mr.. Mitchell.
The very exciting contest resulted
in the election of Alexander. Owing
to the fact that no Justice of the
Peace presided at the ballot-box, as
the law requires, the legality of the
election is questioned. Mayor j. NJ.
Spullock, who was defeated, sent A.
r. Wright and Col. Pfintup letter
asking their opinion upon the legali~
ty of the matter. Col. Sawy err, ed
itor of the Rome Courier, copies the
letter and goes for Mayor Spullock
in the following cred hot" style:
"Now, if the above be true, Mayor
Spullock places himself in an awk-
ward position. Being Mayor it was
his sworn duty to see that the law was
complied with, and the people pro
tected in their right. His failure to
do so is to be accounted for only
upon two hypothesis, ignorance or
meanness. lie must have been il
norant of the low, in which case he
is incompetent for his place, or if he
knew better he, treachously permits
ted it with criminal intention to
prolong his own rule, in which case
he ought to be sent to the chain
gang for malfeasance. Fool or
knave, let him take which end of
the rope he chooses, he ought to be
hung with it,"

RETRENCHMENT.

From the presentments of the
grand Jury of Terrell county: AS
retrenchments and reform are neces-
sary at this time, more than ever be
fore, we recommend a change in our
educational laws, so far as it relates
to the State School Commissioner
Abolish the office, and make the
Comptroller G eneral the medium of
action with the Board of Education
in each county. One half of the
rental of the State Road is sppropri-
ated to the Educational Fund, and
one third of that $50, 000) is paid to
salaried officers under the present
educational system. Retrenchment
is much needed. Economy ought to
be a virtue with a State as we'll as
with an individual, and, as we groan
under the burden of excessive taxa
ton, we demand that every expense
incurred be based upon the lowest
figures compatible with public safety.
The present homestead is unreason>
ably large, railing endless litigation
and unnecessary taxation. We res
commend our Senator and Represen-
tatiye in the General Assembly to
use their influence in calling Con-
stitutional Convention to remedy this
matter. Moreover, there is no pub
lie demand for annual sessions of the
Legislature is an annual expense
of 100000, and for the future
session every two ysars is quite as
often as there will be any call for
legislation. We ask our Senator aud
Representative to introduce bill re-
pealing the exemption of s. worth
of property, which we think has
worked harm. We wish no exemp
ton. And also we request them to
have bill passed that tax of 81
be levied on every dog and shot gun,
and So upon every pistol, the pro
ceeds to be placed in the educational
fund.

STATE CONVENTION.

When the Legislature meets in
January, it should have the man
hood to submit the question Of hold
ing a Convention to a vote of the
people. Our present Constitution
was made by negroes, radicals, car
pet>baggers and Bullock plunderers,
and it is not true exponent and
does not represent the intelligent
wishes of the people. There is
much in it that a Convention would
expugn as unwise and pernicious.
Biennial sessions of the Legislature,
consolidation Of small counties, re-
ducing the number of Representa-
tives, abolishing unnecessary Offices,
lessening the amount Of homestead
exemption, and curtailing expenses,
are vital questions that press them
selves upon the considerate attention
of our Lawmakers, Let us have
wholesome laws that will impair
confidence, and that will protect
creditor and debtor in a fair anC
equitable way. This will check ex'
travagance, encourage industry, and
foster economy, and our people viii
deal more in cash and live within
their income.

THE RoGUES OF TIE RING. The
conviction of Avery at St. Louis,
and Weimer at Milwaukee, of con
spiracy in the whisky frauds, adds
two more chapters to the terrible
lesson which the country has been
compelled to read and reflect upon
for some weeks past. The success
of the government in bringing down
its false, though trusted officials, and
other persons of prominence and
"unimpeachable integrity" is un.
doubtedly source of great satisfac-
ton, but it is well said that the
shame is the governments and the
country's also. Yet nothing will
help forward so much the good cause
of purifying official character and
slevating commercial honesty as a
positive exhibition of justice on the
part Of the administration in all such
cases.

THE FOLLY OF GOING WEST.

EDITORS JoURNAL-On my recent
arrival home from the West, | read
your heavy criticisms on the folly of
selling out in Georgia and going
West to seek fortune. Never did
| read anything that covered the
whole grounds with more truth and
accuracy. have spent month or
more in travelling over Arkansa and
Texas, and have never found a
place so endearing to me as my quiet
little home in Georgia. Others may
emigrate, but | never will. The
western country is very much over
rated, the whole Of it is sickIy, the
people generally poor and in debt.
Thousands of them would return to
the old State if they had the means
with which they could DO so.
The Railroad lands are almost
worthless, under mortgage for money
to complete the roads. The State
lands 10 Arkansas are also morris
gagged for money to run the State
government. Aud none Of the pub
lie domain can be entered until the
occupant has lived on the same for
three years. The public lands in
Texas are in the same condition in
relation to entering them, | did not
see a drop of running water in the
West, except in the large rivers
and some of them were nearl y dry.
found the milk pals in the same
dry condition, did not see glass of
milk in the whole of my travels
Saw but one sweet potato in Arkan>
sas and man had that in drawer
for exhibition. | found but few
vegetables of any kind and no wa
ter fit to drink. The most of the
people lazy, ignorant, and dissipa-
ted. saw some Of them in upper
Arkansas going to church upon the
Sabbath day, with rifles upon their
shoulders, clad in old yankee army
overcoats, riding poor horses with
rope brides. Many, many Of the
people never see newspaper, not
any works of literature. What a
place to raise family!

HENDERSON WINS FAME

THE President has ordered the
dismissal of ex-senator Henderson
one of the counsel in the whiskey
fraud cases in St. Louis. The fol-
lowing are the Objectionable words
of Mr.. Henderson, which Grant con-
siders "personally offensive" and
which gives fame to Henderson aid
writes Grant down as coward:
"What right had Babcock to
90 to Douglass to induce him to
withdraw his agents? Douglass
was placed in his position to see that
the revenue laws of the government
were properly enforced. What busi>
ness. then, had Douglass with him 7
When an official goes into Office, he
should be free and Independent of
all influence except that of all infiu-
ences except that of law, and if he
recognizes any other master, then
this government is tumbing down.
What right has the President to in
terfere with Commissioner Dougla
in the proper discharge of his duties
or with the treasurer Meme ; and
Douglass showed lamentable weak
ness of character when he listened
to Babcock's dictates. He should
either have insisted that his orders,
as they existed, be carried out, or
should have resigned his Office. -
Now why did Douglass bend the
supple hinges of the knee and per-
nit any interference by the Presi-
dent This was Douglass own
business aud he stood responsible for
it under his official oath. He was
bound to listen to no dictation from
the President, Babcock, or any other
officer, and it was his duty to see
that that order twas carried out, or
to resign. Would that we had ofiic-
ials who possessed more of that
sterner stuff of which the Officehold
ers of olden times were made. Why
do they not leave their office when
they cannot remain there honorably 7
Is it to continue that because man
holds an office at the hands of anoth>
err he is to be a bonded slave 7"

Ir is a little noticeable when you
come to think about it. Washington
and Jackson, toward the close of
their second terms, having been
spoken of for re election, each took
occasion, in his last message previ-
Gus to the election of successor, to
declare an intention to retire at the
close of the second term. President
Grant, it is unnecessary to say, has
omitted to do anything of the sort
