We desire to pot tbe northern dele gates precent upon notice, that they will find no iJliberation here. They will find that tbe negro ia fairly and honestly treated. He ia not admitted to that social equality which bis condi tion does not justify, bis welfare ue- maud or his comfort suggeat^tud which denied him in tbe north. But lor all practical purposes of life, be ia given and guaranteed a legal chance with tbe white man. Only a few weeks ago negro mao, by advice of democratic* lawyers .and edict of a democratic judge was admitted to practice at this bur. Georgia will never contribute anything towards reviving tbe irritating race ie- ue which has so long divided tbe re- public, retarded the growth of tbe aouth, subordinated all practical politi cal issues, and put the government, rod derlees and heJplee-, is a whirlpool of passion and bate.

Among those who congratulated Sen ator Dennis on bis speech in disappro bation of tbe movement of Mr. Mont gomery Hlair waa Senator Gordon, who said "it wee on rood a- tv*n?d be.’* Sknatou Vo Miitokto i.»a become tbe chmi'pi on of tbe Mexican veterans, and on tbe 30 h instant he will en ileavor to push through a resolution directing the committee ou pensions to report a bill to place the names of tbe survivors or of theif wives upon tbe pensioo roll. Mr. Voorhees will ad dress the senate on the subject, and hia resolution will test the sense of the senate. We are glad that the veterans have eo able a champion. W« have nail ail kinds ot congresses almost, but It was reserved for Indian* apolia to summons a national micro scopical congress. It ia to meet next August. Each delegate ia expected to come armed with a double'barrelled magnifier. Tna New York bank* and the na tional banks in senersi, are t>aid to be acting in cor jnuction with the a tary of tbe treasury. While the one contracts the currency, the others operate on the bank discounts. In New York city alone, the volume oj discounts shrank last week, $4,6*10,000 Tliis iqueesing process ia pressing val ura down unprect dentedly low. In stead of a policy cf resumption, we are * getting one of redemption and contrac tion. In another column will be found correspondence between Mr. Whidby, of this cty, and some of the Sunday school magnates of Ohio concerning the admission of a negro delegation the Sunday-school convention, now as sembling in this city. It appears to us that Mr. Whidby baa made entirely too much of a small matter, lie has started a new "out rage” around the press of the nor h and has unintentionally, no Moubt placed the south in a false position. We do no*, believe he would have been sustained in his protest against Arnett by the Iccal c* mmittee, from which, b> the way, he says he kept the matter secret. We are confident that he ia not sustained in his action by the pub he sentiment of Atlanta; or of th* south. We should, of course, prefer U see a full white delegation sent to At- auta from the northern atafe?; i/, how ever, one or two oi them should send a negro delegate, there would be no dis position here to either refuse him bis feat, or (r ghten him into not claiming it. The south has, in all honor and ainct-rity, agreed, if left to herself, to guarantee to the negro hia fullest rights. As is stated elsewhere, our governor—cf Tusiriou* lineage and backed by tne largest democratic ma j mty ever given any man in.G«orgia— has not thought it.beneath his personal or official dignity to go into a n» gro church and preach the gospel to them respectable negro**' find a quiet wel come in cur beat churches, and Arnett would have found an undisputed in the convention it be had presented his credentials. Even if there had been a political sen timent opposed to hia admi*eion,it does seem that the nature of the convention to which he was accredited, should have secured him hia place. The In ternational Sunday echool convention ia tbe meat catholic and liberal body in theory on this earth. It ia the only body in which all religions and men of the denominauope o*p meet, Under SAW FINANCIAL MEASURE* The eastern papers regard the bar gain that Secretary Sherman made last week aa conclusive of specie resump tion on or before the first day of Jah uary next. The syndicate, composed part of several of the greatest houses Europe, has agreed to take $50,000.• 000 of tbe 4§ per cent bonds at 101 d in gold and accrued interest; ten millions once and five millions a month Id the remainder of the year. The pro coeds of the loan are to be devoted to preparation for the reeumption of spe cie payments by increasing the coin re serve in the treasury. Tbe bargain if regarded in New York as a*good one At the time the contract was closed gold waa selling at 100), and the 4} per cent b«mds were aelling in the markets 102* currency. Making allowance for accrued interest, the imarket price gold waa 102; making the same al lowance, the price which the treasuj# got for the bonds waa 102 03. This price was 1* par cent higher than any other bid, and 1* per cent higher than the bid ot the banka. Secretary Sherman "claims'* to have on hand coin to the amount of $90,000, 000, available for resumption; he ex pects to coin $32,000,000 in silver dur iog the year; add to these amounts th« proceeds of the new syndicate bargain, and we have $172 000,000 in gold with which to begin the redemption of th* vast volume of paper money. Thu amount of gold will be the result of s direct inert sse of our interest-bearing debt. Io the operation we lose more in interest than we gain in all the refund ing that has taken piece. It is, in othe> words, an increase of taxation that a ill be severely felt. Ia this effort to force specie reeumption worth whet it will cost? Will the preparations that the secretary haa in mind suffice to accomplish the objar. he has in view? The first question will nowhere command an unanimoo- votq; an answer to the latter depend* mcjC'apon the nature of aobeeqaent legislation than upon anything that Mr. Sherman baa done or can do. We have no heeilation in Baying that resumption is feasible, provided the new propositions of the senate finance committee are transformed into law These propositions are: Finv-To make greenbacks receivable to pay I caiaoma cue* In n and altar iba 1st oi July next. Heoord—To make greenbacks receivable In payaent ot Ura foar per cent, bonds of ibe Ualted Sutra. Tblrd—To repeal the provision to tbe act of January 14. 1*75. which lays tbit as often as circulating notes shall be Is-oed to national banka It shall be the duty ot the arcratary ot the treasury to redeem the legal-leader notes of the Uulfed frates la exet as ot $900 0.0 000 to the amount of 80 per ceok of the national otea so issued to sach bonking u Fourth-That the legal teode-s received lor b tads, customs duties, and from o'her soarcea, shall tw paid out by the secretary to meet tbe government obligations and for currant expen- are. The effect of thla last and tbe preceding proposition U to arrest contraction and to keep the volume of the legal-tender circa , atioc at 1U present figure. We are willing to go atill farther by eaying that under these propositions specie resumption during the current year would be not only feasible but desirable. The east will bow ever oppose these propositions Messrs Merrill, Bayard, Kernan and Dawes of the finance committee, art understood to be opposed to them, leav. iog only a bare majority—Messrs Alii son, Feny, Jones, Voorhees and Nal- ace—to reports bill. Itia believed however, that it will, ae a substitute for the house bill to repeal tbe resumption act, command the support of all who are not interested in squeezing the 1 creditor class. It will generally be ac cepted as the beet attainable settlrmeni of difficult questions. These propes dons aie warmly approved by such conservative journals aa the Columbus Times and the Richmond Diepa*ch. The Times says: "Weare thoroughly convinced that nothing else ia needed but the passage by congress at its pre sent session of all these measures, to re establish spec.e payments or the eqtlixUion of gold and paper money on a firm basis, to revive confidence and business, and restore the prosperity of the country.” The Dispatch become eloquent in anticipation or the acceptance by confrere of the com mittee’a propositions. It says: congress only gratifies Mr. Sherman bv m-king greenbacks receivable for a* dues to the government after July 1st aud slope the curtailment of paper money just at thia very point, resump tion ia an aceomplithed tact. There no reason for postponing the day. As long aa it is postponed people will getting ready for it, and that is a pro- cere which cripples the public energies and postpones.the freedom that must be proclaimed the very day of resump tion. The dawn is upon us, and the ight of the coming day ia spreading over the heavens.'* In troth, the people and their sec retary are within hu»d-ehaking die* tance; and if the east will for the pub lic good yield its disposition to fqueexe the reet of the country, there is no doubt that legislation can be readily had that will, in conjunction with the silver bill, throw the stock of gold into the market, and imperceptibly bring os*to the financial consummation that all desire. The delegates to the Internationa! Sunday re bool eonven'Um cnntlr-ue J to arrive yesterday morning. Tbe Air-Line train brought 1» about sevesty-fira and tbe Kesrraaw xonte about the same number. B? 10 o'clock there ware probably over f jur hundred dt legatee in the city. If any of them brought tbeir wive* and tome of lira ocher members of tbeir families.

Upon tbe platform were about a dozen of the prominent members of tbo convention and members of oar local clergy.
