THE following paragraph from the report of
the Senate Judiciary committee gives the
case in nutshell. 1t is worth reading and re-
membering:
cit is known to every Senator, that, so far
as the Senate has had to do, both with remov-
ais and appointments, it has for great num-
Der of years been it's practice, when an officer
or person was before it for removal or appoint
ment against whom any serious accusation has
been made which would, if true, influence the
action of the Senate in tho case to cause the
person concerned to be informed of the sub
stance Of the complaint against him and give
him an opportunity to defend himself, and 1t
is also known that at this very session con-
siderable number of instances of that kind
have occurred and are daily occurring If the
Senate is proceeding upon false principle in
such instances, it is high time that its course
in these respects should be reversed, and that
hereafter it should act upon such accusations
without any knowledge other than that de-
rived from the accusers, and leave the victims
of such injustice to console themselves with
the reflection that all parties are now engaged
in an effort to reform the government"

The county committee has fixed the date
for the convention to nominate trustee for
Center township on Saturday next, the pri-
maries to be held on Friday night. The Jour-
nal again calls the attention of everybody to
this matter. A good nomination on Saturday
next will insure success; an Indifferent Sc
lection Will insure defeat; bad nomination
will insure Waterloo. The way to secure
the first is for everyone interested to attend
the primaries, and let the committee under
stand the demands of the people and the ne
cessities Of the hour. No more important
duty now confronts the Republicans, not only
Of Center township, but of the State at large,
than the selection Of candidates for town
ship trustee. Don's make any mistake about
the matter. A mistake is worse than blum
der; it is crime.

ANOTHER great reform" appointment is
made known. j. w. Renfroe has been named
for postmaster at the city Of Atlanta. In
1870, Renfroe, having then been State Treas
urer for several years, was, with j. w. Gold
smith. the State Comptroller, impeached for
malfeasance. Goldsmith was convicted, but
Renfroe escaped, the number of Senators who
pronounced him guilty wanting two of the
two-thirds necessary for conviction. Then q
joint resolution was passed and approved by
Governor Colquitt directing suit to be brought
against Renfroes securities for $27, 900, which
it is asserted that he confessed he had cor
ruptly received while in Office. The suit failed
on technicality, the judges who decided that
the technicality was fatal saying that there
was no virtue in Renfroe's action. These
facts were known to the President. Senators
Colquitt and Brown urged the appointment,
and it was made against the protest of many
leading Georgia Denocats. But stall the re-
frain goes on that NJ. Cleveland is the very
Colossus Of Reform.
