and such thing as malleasancr in Of
flee was very rare indeed, especially
under native southern rule, but after
all it is continually cropping out that
Southern Democrats are not q whit
better, purer or more scrupnlous than
the carpet haggers on whom they heap
ed 50 much virtuous indiEnatlon.-
Georgia being one the first reconstructed
states and having long ago expelled
the carpet bag government and adopted
the solid South Democratic idea. has
had time to show how abb. and hO.rSt-
ly she could be governed by her own
native sons. but from Georgia con-s

is not beyond the suspicion Of ar'rF'-

The distinguished Senate in order to
concentrate the honest potion Of his
party, has issued an address in which

State-house officials are actually par
ties to contracts with the State, and ex-
ecutive officers of the State are also les
sees of the Stat-.' A report to the
Legislature has also been made con
demning the pen!tentiary system of the
Stat, by which favOrite and leading
party men have leased the labor of the

amount of money.
The report reveals such a horrible
state of dishonesty and immortality thai
humanity might well shudder, and
virtue blush with shame. Amongs,
those who have profted by this shame,

but it is to his credit to say that he
has given up his contract with the
State and has washed his hands as far
