Says of tho Bingham amendment: It defeata the schemes of Bullock and Blod gett to the extent that it pre vents interference with officers, stops prolongation of their ten ure of office, and forbids thefr putting off or prolonging elections. Speaking of the seating of Bevels, the m paper says: We are not uncharitably disposed, but are Very glad to believe that theso Badical g ticinen have merely begun their “nigger” pcriences, and if they ore tired now, they will do sick of it before they are done with the kinky-hcado. •rax us con TKixcaxru, Speaking of the preparations for a Fair at Au gusta, aaya: Now we shall see a pretty race between At lanta and Augusta. To offset the prestige of the State Agricultural Society, which Atlanta will enjoy, Augusta will show the force and en ergy of an organixatlon of business men, and she has about five or ten times the moneyed capital of Atlanta, with perhaps considerable less disposition to use it, and not so much lo cal pride and spirit as Atlanta, though more reasons ffor both. We like the wanderfhl amount of pride the Atlantans take in their city. There's not a man, vronfan or child, in the corporate limits, block or white, who is not thoroughly ground ed in the opinion that Atlanta wul, in a short time, go ahead of London or Fans. Chicago is the only American town which can rival Atlanta in local pride, and Atlanta _ fond of comparing herself with Chicago.— Moreover, Atlanta, if wa may credit tho Boston Post, is ahead of Augusta and most other places in newspaper*.

[Rather severe insinuation upon those who wanted to make Byant Speaker of the House in Georgia.] The same paper is still “pitching into" the Postmaster at Savannah. THE SAVANNAH ADVERTISER (DEM.) Has a labored article on the Central Railroad, in reply to an article in the Era a few days since. The Advertiser concludes its article ii hese words: If the city of Savannah and the Central Railroad did control the Georgia Legislature, Georgians will not be unmindful of the fact that the control was • wise and judicious one, and that in those days Georgia took the great steps toward strength and power which won for her tho proud title of the Empire State of the South. An unnecessary admission, and a lame de fense surely. THE AUOU8TA CONSTITUTIONAUST, (DEM.) Speaking of the report of the Senate Judiciary Committee on the Georgia ease, says: The report shows that the recent organiza tion of the Legislature was illegal, unjust and despotic. But the outrage is palliated on the specious pretext that the end to be accomplish ed was Badical supremacy; and so, every vil lainy employed must be forgiven tor the soke of the object consummated. THE COLUMBUS mum, (DEM.,) Seems in bod humor with somebody. It re cently accused the Intelligencer of this city with stealing its thunder.

[This is like accusing a man of murder in the absence of a “true bin” by the Grand Jury, but it la wholly in keeping with the political tactics of the Re publican, ) The Republican has this paragraph also: It is a great mistake to say that the United States Senate has bean degraded by tho ad mission of a negro member.

THE ATLANTA CONSTITUTION (DEM; ) jubilant over the Bingham Amendment, but The same paper deni call fora Suite Com-anti The call was a faUurt: c THE MACON TELEGRAPH, (DEM.) Speaking of the Bingham Amendment, as ef fecting the organization of the State" Govern ment, and the fortunes of the Republican party, jh: Bntier, Bollock and Blodgett arc unhorsed, and all their “reconstruction," like tho apples of Sodom, has turned to ashes on their lips. Doubtless they will do the State wrong in the brief iutervalleft to them. They will gather together their bogus Legislature, and flash their insane and malignant fury over the State daring the brief interval of a single session and of ten months. During this time they con inflict immense inisichicf on tho poo- ple. Half the world could be burnt up in that apace. But they needed a new lease of power to accomplish all their schemes, and that they have failed to obtain. (DEM.) After desiring a correction of the statement that it opposed a State Convention of the “Democracy," says: What we want, when it is denied stall, is a Democratic Convention, to which, of course, all persons may very property be invited who dee&o to join that party in opposing Radical ism- . As such did not appear to ua to be tbs idea in the recent call, and aa the call did not emanate from the only source authorized to make it, (not so much objection to that how ever) we denominated it “unsound." The Commercial, if we understood it as earring anything, meant “Democracy straight, or not at all! la that it? THE NEWMAN DRTRNDIR, (DEM.) Is unequivocally opposed to a State Convention of the ■“ Democracy" under the apedona guise of a “People’s Convention." It, however, thinks that a bona fide People’s Convention, composed of delegates from every State in the Union, might result in some good. Un dismayed by the haggard ghost of the Phila delphia Bread and Butter affair of 1866, the Defender would “try it on again." Speaking of the Bingham amendment, says that its logical sequence is the seating of Hill and Miller as Senators from Georgia. But whilst it consider* this the “unavoidable logi cal sequence" it still thinks that. The Senate of the United States, while Rad ical, has done many acts inconsistent as the passage of Bingham’s amendment and the re fusal of seats to HH1 and Miller. THE ATLANTA CONSTITUTION. This Bryantite organ, alias the organ of Capt Bryant, alias “the only Democratic paper in Atlanta,” alias the “Constitution,” treats its (56X20—1120) eleven hundred and twenty readers to a calfologlcal display of jollification at the prospect of the passage of the Bingham amendment, and another "courteous” deeortn- tion upon the “Radical organ” in Atlanta, not tailing to make a personal attack upon the Executive of the State, nor to put into his mouth winds whieh no rational man can ba made to believe ha ever uttered. THE ATLANTA INTELLIGENCER (DEM.,) Discoursing of the Bingham amendment, and of its probable passage by the Senate, says: Upon this we congratulate the Democracy of Georgia. From out of darkness there now eomes light They will now soon have the opportunity given them, whieh otherwise they one of different political complerianto that which now exists a blight upon our ones grand old Commonwealth. In view to this hopeful future, all that is required of tho Georgia De mocracy is, a stern adhercnco to the time- honored principles of the party, with no tangling alliances, no com promises, to mar unity of action, and we shall then see Georgia re deemed, regenerated, disenthralled from Repub lican role. To Mr, Bingham, those Republicans who voted with him, and the gallant Demo cratic members of the Haase who fought the good light for Georgia, our people feel BreaUv indebted. They have given new life to the Democratic party of the State, renewed their spirits, and inspired them to labor, as of yore, zealously in the cause of constitution al and good government Our adviees from Washington, leave no doubt upon our mind that the Bntier hill, aa it passed the House, will psss the Senate. These assurance* are to ua aa refreshing as plentiful rains are to vege tation after a long drought Upon the Demo cratic party of the State, whieh, “defeated,” has never yet been ‘ ‘dismayed, ” they must have a like revivifying influence. The Intelligencer concludes it congratula tory article aa follows: We have waited patiently lor some such re action in Congress, some such giving way of injustice and oppression on the put of, at least, a portion of tho Republican members Another Presidential nomination made in such a manner as Seymour’s was, will seal the doom of cmr party. If the Southern dele gates will vote in a solid body for one of the prominent candidates, the question will be settled on the first ballot, and a victorious campaign rendered probable. It is our opin ion that Salmon P.

Speaking of the abortive effort to get up a State Convention of “the Democracy” and of such Convention* in general, says: They haw* baen the aeourge of the American people.

This paper of XIr. Lanahan’s was denounced in the New York Christian Advocate as fol lows: “Vigorous efforts, we presume, are to be made to send toe incendiary document over the whole country. The motive and purpose of the persons engaged in this infamous busi ness are apparent We may refer to them hereafter. We mention toe matter now to cau tion our readers and too public generally against placing any confidence in the damag ing allegations therein contained. They were all before the book committee, thoroughly traversed, and found to be groundless.” The committee in their report now says: “Dr. Lanahan assures us that he put his statement in printed form because he believed it ought to go to the chnrch. It was referred to by toe minority of the book committee in their report, and was by them declared to be corroborated by documents dream from the books of dealers, and Mao from toe order book of the printing department of the Methodist Book Concern. It had gone into toe secular press by no act of his, and he deemed it better to send it out wider his own inspection, in order that the annual conference which wished to do so could examine the facts it contains. •We aid, as ho avers, that tho only ‘varia tions' from tho ‘statement’ as laid before the book committee are, first, a reference to cer tain firms by initials rather than by toe full name; second, the omission of a name of a bishop in stating a rccarqmendqtion of his; and third, a reference to certain immoralities of an employee. This last omission, he de clares, was made because ho preferred to state his cause with less than its fuu strength, rather toBn give this gross reproach to the public. “In the opinion of your committee there is no occasion for calling these variations 'mate rial.' “We also report that no sufficient reason has been shown why a Geuernl Conference officer should have employed a General Conference organ to denounce the official statement of an other General Conference officer, and his own publisher, or its circulation, -infamous.* Nor can wo regard it as within the range of edito rial privilege to warn the public generally Baltimore Annual Conference of the 91.
