sion, m Savannah, on the third of May - The
Sarannoso are preparing to vdoonjhT^d en
tertain the -t«K*ti» and there ifcemjhe city
ia its loveliest plamage. 2a tpeahing of this
Aetociation, the Newt of Pridhy"says: "The
importance of that meeting cannot bo over
estimated. However widely poopleiwtjr differ
as to the manner in. which oar political affaire
should be administered, all are agreed that
the best interests, of the State are subserved
by a broad and thorough system of education.
We learn that one of- the chief subjects to be
brought before the Association will be a report
on a system of public education for this State,
adopted at the meeting in Macon. The lead,
ing educators of Georgia will be ip attendance,
and the discussion of the subject by practical
men, who have spent a lifetime in teaching,
cannot fail to throw light an a question which
is now agitating the public mind. We trust
ur citizens will open their hearts and, homes
to these teachers, who will meet with no sel
fish ends in view, bnt who, on the contrary,,
are solely influenced by a • d«idrt>l (p.fwlher »
cause in which the whole people are deeply
interested. It is desirable to'have places pro
vided for the accommodation of the members
of the Association. Mr. B. Mallnn, Secretary
of the Association; Mr. W. UL Baker, Superin
tendent of Public Schools, and a member of
Council, representing the Committee of . Edu
cation of our City Council, will call on onr cit
izens with a view'of accomplishing this end.
Where it is inconvenient to receive a teacher
into the family, we would suggest that an
amount of money be given sufficient to defray
bis expenses at one of our hotels. From the
programme which is offered, with the subjects
for discussion, and the distinguished speakers
who will be to attendance, we anticipate an
interesting and profitable meeting.”
Thz R.tn.tojUM.—Rome appears to have
another railroad on the brain. This time it is
the Memphis Branch road. - The Romans set
forth their plana and its probable results in
the following, which wo find in the Commer
cial: “Let the State of Georgia take stock in
the Road to the extent of $20,000 permite from
Rome to Collinsville, the point where the pro-
posed railroad will eroes or intersect the Wills
Valley Railroad. Let the State m some man
ner appoint nine Directors, to - co operate with
the seven Directors elected under the present
chatter. The stock subscribed by the State to
be paid in fall, by the issuing of State bonds,
doe in thirty years, with seven per cant, inter
est, payable semi-annually. R is torty-six
miles to CoDinsville, and tho amount of bonds
will be $920,000—they can bo sold very nearly
at par, and that snm, with the present stock
of individual stockholders, will build the road
to Collinsville —and the State aid from Ala
bama, and the aid that may reasonably bo ex
pected from the people of Decatur, Memphis,
Nashville, and other towns, cities and people
interested trill ensure the completion of this
gnat enterprise. This Road will cut all the
cool seams ib Lookout and Sand mountains,
and open up to ns the finest iron region in the
United Stales. Rome with her present found
ry and rolling mills will be the centre of the
great iron and coal interest in Georgia and
Alabama, and will thon be of sufficient import
ance and financial power to force the removal
of obstructions in the Coosa river, and we may
them hope for a city whose light will not be
bid.”
The Columbus Enquirer says: "We arc as
sured by a gentleman who lias every facility
tor knowing that thore is no longer the slight
est doubt of the removal of the wood and iron
shops of this company from Macon to this
point In fact movements in that direction
are now actively going on, and tho present
year at Urn H. W. depot will be an active one.
Numerous improvements are to be entered
upon at on early day by which employment
will be given to a large number of additional
workman. We have reason to congratulate
onr city and section upon the handsome and
permanent improvements contemplated, and
the company upon the wisdom and discretion
exhibited in locating here. Snperentendent
Clark is putting things through abont right.
The Selma Times of Tuesday says: The va

Pny, and other capitalists, from Philadelphia,
all looking after the interests of the roads in
which they ore already interested, or seeking

Chief Engineer Merriwother, of the Mem

Another great error with regard to disease
seems to bo the notion that, it .is* an’' entity,
something solid, fluid, or aeriform, which
must be expelled by force, by strong drugs,
emetics and• cathartic* Nothing could be
further from the troth. Disease is a depar
ture of tho system from its regular hetlthy
action—a derangement of the functions of one
or more organs of the body, and this derange
ment is generally-caused by some exposure,
some wrong habit of living, and it may bfe re
moved, in the great majority of cases by sim
ply returning to the right course.
The notion that disease is something that
must be driven out of the system by main
force, has been, the death of innumerable mul
titudes, both of adults and infants, while it
been more especially destructive to the
latter, who have no reasoning powers, and
•who, unfortunately for them, often have pa
rent* who are virtually without reason them
selves, so far as the medical management of
infancy is concerned. Dr. Combe, in speak
ing of the error which we are controverting,
says: ‘The consequence of viewing disease as
arising from something in the system requir
ing to be removed, is, that, on the first symp
tom of its appearance, medicine is resorted to
for its expulsion, while the cause is apt to be
left in undisturbed operation. The evil is
consequently aggravated instead of cured,
and many children are thus carried- off by
medicine alone, who might have been restored
to health by patient * and well directed cure,
without the aid of the apothecary. It is the
commonest of all remarks heard in the nursery,
that the child was uneasy, or feverish, and 7
gave it so and so, without the smallest allusion
being made as to ithy it was uneasy or fever
ish, or whether anything was done to remove
the cause." And then the writer concludes with
the following emphatic remarks, which we
fully endorse: “In my opinion a more perni
cious habit than that of constantly giving nied-
iciue to children does not oxist, and I would
hold the mother or nurse who should make
frequent use of it without advice, as utterly
unfit for the duties imposed upon her."
Remember, then, that disease is derangement
in (lit function gf one or more organs of the
body; that it is generally caused by violation if
some law or laws cf health; and that in the great
majority of cases U c/in be removed simply by re
turning to the right course of living. The prac
tical application of this lesson is worth more
to mothers, fathers, children, mid the “rest of
mankind,” than all the doctors and drugs in
the world.
The plain inference from the above remarks
is, that the great business of the pcopli
general, and of parents in particular, is to
study the laws of health and to obey them;
and “that the only safe plan for domestic
practice is to make the hygienic or preventive
agents, and the simpler medicines, the prind
pal moons of cure." When a child gets sick,
(and the sumo thing is true of all classes of
people) tho first thing is to cast about for the
cause. Lot all tho circumstances, present and
past, of the patient be reviewed. Inquire as
to the quality and quantity of till* food and
drinks, tho purity or impurity of the air—its
temperature, the probable influence of sudden
changes, and exposure to currents of air, etc.
Look also to the dress—its correspondence
with the season and condition of the child.
Examine into the state of the skin and bowels,
and, in short, make strict inquiry os to all tli^
influences that may have produced the disease,
and then, in the light of this knowledge, pro
ceed to act according to the dictates of reason
and common sense. If the child has eaten
too much, starve him for awhile, until the sys
tem can right itself, instead of giving an irri
tating emetic or cathartic to-day, and then
repeating to-morrow the same diet
which cansed the difficulty, and which
Irill certainly ennso it again. If the child is
feverish,.and tlie skin is dry, sponge the body
with water, or use a Into, regulating the tem
perature according to the degree of heat: and
above all, let him bo quiet, and let all exciting
influences be withdrawn. If the bowels are
costive, use an injection of simple warm wa
ter ; if they are too loose, use a small injection
of cold water, and so on according to the par
ticular inclinations of cock case. Should these
measures fail, (which they will rarely do when
used early and judiciously,) then, if the way
is plain, some simple medicine may be resorted
to for the pnrpose of giving present relief; but
it should never be forgotten that this is only a
temporary expedient, and that, after all, ulti
mate success depends upon the proper man.
agement of the diet, air, and all the hygienic
agents. And, even at tho risk of repetition,
we must insist that no medicine shall be given
except of the milder class, and not oven this, nn-
the indications for its use are plain. When
there is any donbt as to the kind of medicine,
or as to its necessity, professional advice should
be sought. In tho domestic treatment of dis-
tlie hygienic agents “should have the

still it does not enlighten us ns to the essential

theme of discussion in the medical world.
We shall not attempt to give the moons the

of practice that have from time to time arisen,

which each in its turn bus shared tho fats ofits
predecessors. While, however, we shall aot

there no rational explanation to be given of the

Another day has been devoted to the discus
sion of the Georgia question in the Senate.
As it was known by all newspaper readers
that Senator Morton had tho. floor, the gal
leries were filled by a promiscuous throng at
* very eariy hour in anticipation of a rare
treat, and there was no disappointment Gov
ernor Morton gave the key-note of the ap
proaching canvass, which briefly stated is, that
the South id not yet prepared for universal
amnesty. The malignancy manifested of late by
the so-called Ku Klux Democracy (of your
State more than any other) has forced all men
having the welfare of the country at heart to
this conclusion. Your simon-pure Ku-
klux rebel of to-day is both coward
and knave. Tho weak and unprotected are
their victims, and a whipped dog never was
more submissive than they are in the presence
of 'power.'. Too cowardly, most of them I have
reason to know, to take up arms when the
real struggle was on,-they now seek to pro
long a strife by acts of inCuny never before
equaled in any civilized Laud. The day of
reckoning .-is dost at had. It matters but
little whether Georgia is restored to the Union
or not, for either in or ont of the Union the
avenging hand wUJ punnjo and bring to con
dign punishment the cowardly law-breakers
and midnight assassins. The question has re
solved itself into military rule or that of Gov

mitted again until better times,
though the hand of Providence had guided
this nation since 1861. We never gained a
single important victory over the enemy in
the late struggle until the emancipation proc
lamation was issued. After that event the
national troops never suffered a single impor
tant defeat. When the last shot had been
fired at Appomattox, tho loosing side submit

the President, in. the goodness of his heart,
was disposed not to require any pledges for
the future, but permit the whites alone to con.
trol the Southern States. The assassin’s bul
let aroused the nation to a sense of the dan
ger of such a proceeding. When Andrew
Johnson entered the White House aliill res
toration of the Union at an early day was
constantly predicted. The evil one prompted
him for selfish purposes to extend greater
clemency, when the same old malignant spirit
of secession again wagged its gory head, and
the people came to the rescue again and de
manded further security. This has been se
cured in the fifteenth Amendment to the Con
stitution. Georgia, the last of the “way
ward sisters,** came near slipping hack half re
constructed, and at the critical moment, the
same old evil spirit of secession appeared above
the surface and warned the nation against
hasty action. All see and feel now that a settle
ment upon the basis proposed in 1865 would
have been disastrous to the country, and it
does seem as though a jiower greater than that
of man had controlled the affairs of this na
tion, so as to bring it triumphantly through its
great difficulties. With the aid of the newly
enfranchised race, it will not take more than
two years more to crush out the last spark of
the hostile element by the use of the ballot
alone. All that Georgia requires to-day, to se
cure permanent peace, is two years of Repub
lican role. Every man entitled to a vote must
be free to exorcise that privilege without mo
lestation. When this can be dono all will be
well, and this is what Congress has guaranteed
to see accomplished. The defeat of the Wil

Jurisdiction of Justices of the Peace.—The
ase referred to in the Republican a few days
ago, involving the question of the jurisdiction
of Magistrates, was decided by Justice El-
singer yesterday. The plaintiff* sold the de
fendant a box of screws, in June, 1861, for
which he charged him one hundred and six
dollars. He credited the defendant on his bill
of particulars with the sum of six dollars,
which he had not paid, and brought suit for
one hundred dollars. On tho above state of
facts the defendant moved a non-suit, because
the evidence disclosed the fact that more than
one hundred dollars was due, and therefore
the Justice had no jurisdiction of the case.
The defendant denied the right of the xilaintiff
to bring his claim within the jurisdiction of
the Court by a fictitious debt, but the Justice
decided thAt if the plaintiff should recover a
judgment for one hundred dollars in this case
he would be forever barred from recovery of
the six dollars for which he had given the de
fendant credit in his bill of particulars, whether
that credit was fictitious or not The Justice
overruled the motion to non-suit, and took ju
risdiction of the case.—Republican, 16.

was intense. There was a perfect Frou-Frou
of silk and satin as the animal leaped the fence,
and made the boulevard of Savannah the
scene of her antics. A crowd gathered, scaring
thq animal hugely, and she made tracks for se
curity into the promises of Mr. Alfred Hart-
ridge, frightening the servants, who vacated
their premises, giving to the live lioness a full
scope, whore she remained until her keeper
applied, and with kind words and a rope, as
sisted by six men carried her home to the em
braces of the lion.—Sews, 18.

REMARKS OF MB. J. S. MILL. ; ! I*
Mr. John Stuart Mill, on risingiojnove the
first resolution, was greeted with repeated
cheers. He said since their meeting in July
last the Society had amplereaaaaJ to.be satis
fied with the progress they had made. That
progress manifested itself not only in thein-
creased number of its friends, but still more
in the altered tone of its. opponents. There
was one particular in which the ad
mission of women to the franchise might
be - expected to effect the character of Portia?
meat, and that would be by infusing into the
Legislature an increased disposition to grap
ple with great physical and moral evils of so
ciety. There were many, more who regarded
increased activity in this direction with alarm;
bathe was convinced that if the State, and all
the means it possessed of raising the standard
of morality, and even in some respects the
physical well being of the community, they
would find it had much more in its power than
it was the fashion to believe In these respects
Governments were blamable for neglecting
the right means of compassing these objects.
The time had passed away when Governments
were actively tyranicai Their favorite sins in
these times were indolence and indifference.
Whatever scruples they might have about
doing evil they had none about letting evil
alone. The consciences and feelings of men,
which on 'these points were more
indolent than those of women, need
ed rousing, and the stronger active
impulses of women were needed to do this. They
did not seek to disfranchise the men ; there
should be a mutual taking of counsel; the ship
of State needed both sail and ballast; ot pres
ent it was too often the case that the vessel
was all ballast and no sail. In matters of Gov
ernment they did not fear the wantof the curb,
but the want of the spur, and women were
quite equal to the performance of that office.
If they were admitted to their proper share in
the functions of the State, the many wrongs
and grievances which especially affected their
sex, would no longer be considered too unim
portant to require any serious effort to put on
end to them. There would, for example, be a
far sterner repression of those outrages upon
women which at present disgraced the coun
try, and less of that inexcusable leniency of
our courts of justice toward the offenders.
Many men, liberal and enlightened upon
general topics, and whose feelings would
inclino them to be just to women,
dreaded that the immediate effect of ad
mitting them to suffrage would be greatly to
increase the clerical power. He (Mr. Mill)
was not likely to undervalue this objection;
bat how did it come to pass that the clergy
possessed this power? Because they had ad
dressed women throngh the only feelings and
principles they had been encouraged to culti
vate because they were the only persons who
had taken pains with women’s minds, and who
had addressed them as if they had a moral re
sponsibility, os if their souls and their con
sciences wore their own, because they were
the only men who seemed to think it was cf
any consequence what women thought and
felt. Those who showed this respect to wo
men deserved to have influence with them, and
would continue to do so until other men used
the some measures of acquiring in
fluence which they had done. If the
fathers, brothers and husbands of these
women took the same pains with their minds,
and invited them to interest themselves in the
subjects in which thev were interested, they
would soon find themselves better judges upon
those subjects than the cleigy, whose influence
over them would be weakened just in propor
tion as they took part in the general affairs of
life. He. concluded by moving the following
resolution: “That this meeting is of opinion
that the extension of the franchise to women
will tend to promote among them a more co
gent sense of their special dnties as citizens,
and ox their general responsibilities as con
cerned with the advancement of the highest
moral interests of tho whole community."
Tho resolution was adopted.

Senator \Yilllf§m« on Ihc Georgia gUM-
iiasi
Tho argument on the Georgia question pre
sented in the Senate yesterday by Judge Wil
liams was one of the clearest and most forci
ble presentations of the issues involved in the
contest that has yet been made. He main
tained the power of Congress to change the
constitution of Georgia so as*to extend the
'term of the present Legislature, Ho argued
the right of Congress so to do was recog
nized by the constitution of Georgia itself,
and quoted from a speech of Mr. Trumbull,
chairman of the Judiciary Committee, to show
that this committee had entertained precisely
the same view. The speech from which the
quotation is token was made in June, 1868,
and nS the quotation contains the very article
of the Georgia constitution referred to, we
give it entire:
Mr. Trumbull Mr. President, tlie authority
by which Congress declares these claims null
and void in this particular case is to bo found
in the Constitution of Georgia itself. The peo
ple of the State of Georgia, when they adopted
their Constitution in convention, and ratified
it at the polls, provided that Congress might
accept tlio Constitution with amendments.
That provision will be found in section 11 of
article 11, “ Should this Constitution be rati
fied by the people, aud Congress accept the
same with any qualifications or conditions the
Government herein provided for, and the offi
cers elected, shall nevertheless exist and con
tinue in the exercise of their several functions
as the Government of this State, so far as the
day may be cpnsjstetit with the action of the
United States in the preimises." I suppose it
Was competent for tho people of Georgia to
authorize the Congress of the United States, if
they thought proper, in tho adoption of the
Constitution, to impose conditions, and one of
the conditions that is proposed by the bill as
it passed the House of Representatives, and os
it is reported to this body by the Committee
on the Judiciary, declares null and void the
first and third sub-divisions of the 17th sec
tion of the 5th article, with tho exception of
the proviso.—(Congressional Globe, Fortieth
Congress, second session, page 2,969.)
Congress then declared null and void two
provisions of the Georgia Constitution, and
enacted laws touching the very question now
involved.
Judge Williams then disauased the question
of eligibility of members of the Georgia Leg
islature, and showed tho contrast between the
acts of the Legislatures of 1868 and 187(X
The former Legislature expelled members
who were eligible, and seated those who re
ceived the next highest number of votes at
the election. The Legislature of 1870 dis
placed their illegally seated members, and put
in their places the eligible men, who received
at the election the highest number of votes.
Under the 121st section of the code of Geor
gia the act of 1870 was legal and that of 1868
was plainly illegal, and had been so decided by
Congress and the courts of Georgia.
Judge Williams then took strong grounds in
favor of the justice of postponing another
election in Georgia, so that the present Legis-
ture would have time to perfect election, mil
itia, qnd school laws* as wt*U as general legis
lation for the protection of the weak, poor,
and loyal people of the State of Georgia.

‘MISS LIT** AGAIN.
Sirs. D. M and the ChaUnnooga-Wood-
tmrjr Einutc—A Card of explanation
from the Marshal of Chattanooga.
From the Chattanooga Times.]
To the Editor of the Times: I notice in your
paper of to-day an articlo headed “Miss Lu,”
which oontains numerous misstatements which
I desire to correct The facte in regard to the
arrest of Mrs. Mary Denman are, that some
time in tho toll of 1869 she was reported to
the police by citizens living near as being a
disreputable person and keeping a disorderly
house. One night in September, 1869, police-
Lynch and Wilbur found her in her lodg
ings in company with a white man under very
suspicious circumstances. They arrested her
and her companion and took her to the city
jail where I was then on guard. Mrs. Den
man called me to her cell and offered me her
wedding ring to let her out She said she had
been married, but had not seen her husband
lately. Aftenvurd she asked me if she could
not get off if she passed the man arrested with
her os her husband. I told her I did not
know. I saw the man, and lio said she was
not his wife. The next morning she asked to
be allowed to see the man, and she was per
mitted to do ho. Their trial then came off
before A. A. Pearson, then Recorder, aud she
swore that they were married, when they were
released.
According to my information, the woman is
a notoriously bad character.
Mr. Woodbnry says that I was turnkey of
tho jail. Thore was no regular turnkey, but I
was one of six guards, each of whom was on
duty two'hours out of every twelve, nnd the
guard on duty always kept the key.
The onset of which Mr. Woodbury speaks,
was made by me, os Marshal of the city, upon
a charge of lewdness; and I append an affida
vit of au eye-witness, showing how it was
done,
The lady spoken of as Miss Lu, whom I sup
pose to be the same one who has frequently
been to the jail to visit prisoners, and who has
manifested so much interest in the murderer
of Adolf Deutch,did not come to the jail and de
mand the release of Mrs. Mary Denman, but
she was released and sent to the steamboat by
Mr. Bell, one of my policemen, without any
one speaking to him at all to my knowledge.
The man she swore to be her husband lias
never been heard of since.
I think Mr. Woodbury can be in better bu
siness than to be thus employed in publishing
libels upon the community in which he re
sides, and wonld advise him nere^ftor, in his
sensation utones, to stick a little closer to the
truth.
R. H. Kkoft,
City Marshal of Chattanooga.
State of Tennessee, i Before me, the un-
Hamilton county, j undersigned, person
ally appeared Gabriel Davenport, and made
oath in due form of law, that he is a colored
man, over twenty-one years of age, is a resi
dent of Chattanooga in said county and State,
and has been for about five years. Affiant
states that he was present and saw R. H.
Kroft, then, and now Marshal of the said city
of Chattanooga, abont the 13th day of Jan
uary, 1870, arrest a woman known as Mrs.
Mary Denman. Affiant further states that the
circumstances connected with the arrest of the
said Mrs. Denman, as witnessed by affiant, are
these : Tho said Kroft approached the said
Denman, and informed her that there were
charges of lewdness against her, and that
there must be an investigation, and it was his
(Kroft’s) duty to arrest her, and Asked her to
accompany him to the Station House, near
where tho parties then stood. The said Mrs.
Denman refused to go quietly with said Kroft,
but used very insolent language to him, which
affiant cannot now repeat. Said Kroft then
seized her and forced her to go to the Station
House. Said Kroft did not strike her in any
way—did not knock out any of her teeth, or
abuse her person; but did use sufficient force to
compel said Mrs. Denman to go to tho Station
House or jail. Affiant further states, that no vio
lence of any kind was used by said Kroft, or any
other person, toward the said Mrs. Mary Den-
mon, until she had persistently and insultingly
refused to accompany him to the said station
house. Said R> H. Kroft made tho arrest, un
assisted by any other person, oh affiant now
remembers. Affiant was present when said
Kroft first approached the said Mrs. Mary
Denman, and saw and heard all that was done
or said during the whole occurrence, until she
was taken to jail.

Help for the Miserable.—No wonder Unit
the taco of the dyspeptic has a dragged, worn, hope
less expression that is pitiful to sea. No wonder that
the miserable martyr to indigestion is fretful, irritable,
and unsocial. Whoever can bear tho pangs of this tor
menting complaint cheerfully, and with an nnruftied
temper, is little short of a saint. But why should hu
man fortitude continue to be thus severely ,t£e<L when
an absolute specific for the disease is always at hand*
Everywhere within the limits of civMziCtibn iu this
hemisphere Hoetetter’a Stomach Bitters is obtainable,
and tho history of tho first case of dyspepsia in which
it haa beou administered iu vain, has yet to be written.
The sickness at the stomach, tho sense of weakness
and stupor, tho feeling of emptiness and hollowne**
before eating, and of oppression afterwards, the flut
tering of the pulse, the intense nervous irritation, the
morbid indisposition to exertion, the- weariness cf life,
and indifference.to all its pleasures, which are among
the symptoms of the disease in its chronic form are
rapidly ameliorated by tho tonlo operation of this pals-
tablo vegetable reacorstive, which seems to renovate
and quicken oil tho dormant forces of tho system, and
rouse the mind from the apathy aud gloom inseparable
from a derangement of the digestive and secretive func
tions. In ordinary cases a few weeks suffices to com
plete the cure, but when tho disease is complicated, as
it often is, with torpidity of the liver, severe constipa
tion, impurity of tho blood, and a sluggish circulation,
a longer time may bo required. Persevere, howevor.
and the result ia certain. An encouraging improve
ment will be perceptible from Gey to day, and the con
valescent. knowing and feeling that he or she is on tho
high rood to health, will await the happy issuo with
comparative patience. apUdawlw;
