IMPEACHMrNTIN GEORGIA..

1t is worthy of note, perhaps, that an
effort is being made by the wild-land COM
mittee of the Georgia Legislature to have
articles of impeachment preferred against
Comptroller GOLDSMITH. 1t seems that one
Mr.. WRIGHT, friend of the Comptroller,
endeayOred to procure the signatures of two
members of the committee tosa writing
more clearly exonerating Mr.. GOLDSMITH
than The report Of the committee. Upon
the refusal of the two members to give their
signatures to the aforesaid writing Mr.
WRIGHT, it is alleged, offered one of them
$3.50 and the other 500 TO sign the paper,
whereupon the committee was convened,
evidence concerning the transaction heard,
and articles of impeachment recommended.
All the parties concerned in this transaction
are Democrats, and what the result may be
is not easily conjectured; but as all are
members of the same household, and as
Democrats can do no wrong in Georgia, we
predict that it will all blow off without any
one being hurt
If we understand the case correctly all
this ado has grown out Of the execution of
what is known in Georgia rs the wild-land
law, as amended by the act of 1874. The
provisions of this law are very similar to
the original wild-land act passed in 1866,
and which was so very Objectionable in its
features that the Republican administration
of that State, which was charged with its
execution, refused to enforce it. Ex-Comp-
troller BELL, ws we recollect, on different
occasions called the attention of the Gov
ernor and Legislature to the evils which
would arise from the enforcement of the act
of 1866, and earnestly recommended to ex-
Governor BULLOCK the suspension of the
executions against unreturned wild lands
until the meeting of the General Assembly
that an opportunity might be given that
body to remedy the evils complained of
The much-abused Ex-Governor BULLOCK
listened to these suggestions and recon-
mendatiOns, and promptly issued orders
suspending the enforcement Of the law, and
thus hundreds of real lcstate owners in Geor-
gia were saved much trouble and expense
and her lands kept out Of the hands of spec
ulntOrs.
Could not the present Democratic admin-
istration of that State have been equally as
Just and prompt to have saved many other
citizens much expense and embarrassment
in an eudeayor to save their property from
the clutches of spectators
The peoples money expended by the
present Legislature investigating the sales
of the lands, the bribery case, aud the time
consumed in discussing and legislating
upon the subject will be immense, and if
the same amount had been donated to the
establishment and fostering of public
schools in that State, it would have been
much more beneficial to its citizens; but
the ways of Democracy are dark and al
most past finding out, and Georgia never
will be truly prosperous until she is again
ruled by Republicans.

THE Okolona Southern States has diverted
its red-hot energies for moment from poll
tics, and has put its evil eye and whip of
scorpions upon the machine knowAas the
National Board of Health, which seems to
have encountered its displeasure. 1t touches
up that luxurious and ornamental organi-
cation of solons in this wise
Your feeble, old n-a-t-i.o-n-a-l Board of
Health lay back on its hams, up there ut
Washington, and lazily twirled its thumbs
during the late panic in Memphis.

fever

| stoned by tine appearance of the pestilence.
1t disgusted the people and newspaper cor
respondents at the Capital by its utter impo-
tency, and they call it Tho Do-Nothing

! Aud yet its members pocket their pay, and
ride IN their carriages, aud eat, drink, and
Loaf at the expense OF the taxpayers.
1t ought to be disbandcd, aud the droOling

be kicked over the Allegheny Mountains.

SIDNEY l.. WILSON'S CASE AGAIN.

oADA'Lh re NAhsoVEN'o 1fh3fs ftN4thFs
Among the vilest things that The most
depraved of human beings can do Is to per-
form a mean action and then resort to false
hood and traduction to Justify it. This is
The policy adopted by the Democratic organ
at Washington toward the legless soldier
WILSON, who has been removed from posi-
tion, and since has been charged with in
subordinntion MS the cause of such removal.
In referring to this shameless proceeding the
Fredonia Censor, published at the place of
Wilson'S residence, says
The charges Characterization now trumpod
up against Mr. WILSON arc equally untruthful.
Mr.. WILSON was entirely satisfied with his first
position, and never asked for q transfer IL
was disagreeable change to be put down in
the basement, but he mado no objection. Tho
reason then given by Mr.. BRIGHT was that
WILSON knew all the Senators, and would
make them less trouble than any of tho now
doorkeepers at tho foot of the private staircase.
Mr.. WILSON there contracted chills. which
finally compelled him to ask leave Of absence !;
but ho made no objection to any OF his trans
fers, because he perceived that there was de-
sign to oust him, and he determined to give no
excuse. About three weeks before the adjourn
mont his physician peremptoriy ordered him
to leave the city to save his life, and his appli-
cation, filed with the physicians certificate, was
granted by Sergeant-at.Arms BRIGHT in per-
son chcerfully and cordially. To trump up
this charge of absence without leave is some-
thing even Mr.. BRIGHT will have to condemn
il he has particle of honor or decency in his
composition. This whole performance, adding
gross insult toinjury, boasting that they would
not remove wounded soldier and then lying
about 1t, and covering his record with ISLANDERS,
is u disgrace which the Democracy will find
they cannot afford to approve or sustain.

AS the Ohio campaign progresses the
Democrats howl more and more over the
effects of Resumption, and the more they
howl the worse it is for them. In short,
their efforts to make it appear that Re-
sumption has only been partially accom-
plished, and that the present condition of
our finances has been reached by the great
est sacrifice, have rebounded to their disad-
vantage. The people know that Resump-
ton is q fixed fact and they also know that
if the Hnti-Resumptionists are permitted
to have their way renewal of these sac
rihces will be forced upon the country
again. They are satisfied with the present
solid indications of hard-pan and do
not propose to disturb the existing con-
dition of affairs.

THE wild cock and bull stories in circu-
lation regarding Collector MARKS, of New
Orleans, bear upon their face the most en-
phatic evidence of having been manu-
factured out of whole cloth. Attorney
General DEvENs is not the man to condone
fraud or compromise with rascals. His adj
ministraton of the Department of Justice
has been straightforward and honest, free
from all taint of corruption, and illustrated
by a policy which has made it q terror to
evil-doers. Besides this, it remains to be
proven that Collector MABKs has done any.
thing more criminal than to incur the dis,
favor of his partisan opponents and few
disgruntled Office. seekers.

THE idea of the st. Louis Post Dispatch
that the Greenback party is dead and "only

the Ohio Democracy. Tom EwISG's nomi-
nation for Governor in that State was vic
tory Of the Greenbackers over the Simon
pure Democrats, especially in view of his
renegade Republican antecedents. I'm
buried corpse as it is, the Ohio Greenback
