A resolution to impeach Judge George Brown, Jr., upon a charge of public drunkeness was in troduced in the House of Represen tatives on Monday by Mr. White, Republican member of Davie. If all the guns of Morro Castle hud been turned loose upon the House its members, Democrats, Re publicans and Populists, would not have been more shocked or greater surprised. If the news had flashed over the State that the General Assembly had refused to honor the Confederate dead the people would not have been more indignant than they were at the news of such a charge being made against that noble son of the First District George Brown. As soon as the matter was taken before the committee an investigation was starred, which not only resulted in proving the charge false, but ex honorated Judge Browu and showed to the people that he is even a better man than his friends claim. The resolution was referred back to the House, when Mr. White asked that it be withdrawn and all record of the bill erased from the Journal. An Honest Medicine foe La Geippk. George W. Wailt of South Gardiner, Me., says: ' have had the worst cough, cold, chills aud grip and have taken lots of trash of no account but profit to the vendor.
