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 rious rrilroeds completed and in course of con struction leading into this city, are attracting a good deal of interest from abroad, and our city has been honored by the presenoe of a number of railroocl celebrities during the post week, among them, Mr. U. A. Murdock, finan cial agent of ths Selma. Rome and Dalton Railroad, and Mr. Patton and Dr. Agnew, from New York, Colonel Sam Tate, of the Selma rod Meridian Railroad, Mr. T. H. Du- Pny, and other capitalists, from Philadelphia, all looking after the interests of the roads in which they ore already interested, or seeking new investments. Chief Engineer Merriwother, of the Mem phis and Charleston Railroad, expects to start a corps of Engineers, abont the 10th of May, on a preliminary survey of a route for the con templated railroad from Gnntersvilleto a point oh the Alabama and Tennessee boundary line, near New Market, Ala., to connect, probably, with the Winchester and Alabama Railroad, the road-bed of which was completed before (he war to a point at or near the Alabama line.

This company is but the .van guard to be followed a few days hence by two hundred and fifty more. We learn that a German Eriri- ‘.Society of New .York Ifas .purchased a a tract of desirable land along the line of the Macon and Brunswick railroad, which they 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 very first place, and they should constitute the great staples of home treatment, to the exclu sion of the stronger and more dangerous drugs thftt can bo safely used only by those who have devoted a lifetime to the stndy of medicine.

This is nil plain enough, but still it does not enlighten us ns to the essential it-tiun at disease, a subject which always has been, and perhaps always will be, a fruitful theme of discussion in the medical world. We shall not attempt to give the moons the ories of disease, which have bfru advocated by the different- medical sects, and which have been mode the groundwork of various systems of practice that have from time to time arisen, flourished for a while, and then died ont to givs place to another and another new theory, which each in its turn bus shared tho fats ofits predecessors.

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 ernor Bullock and tho present Legislature for the next two year* at lea*L That is flw only issue now, and in either case the parties guilty of the crimes committed »a your State during the hist year and who arc now with brazen- focednesH boasting of their unholy deeds will have summary justice dealt out to them. 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 ted so umcservably to the national will that 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 liams amendment in the .Senate to-day indi cates no purpose to the contrary—rely upon that Governor Bullock and the Hon. Foster Blod gett wore. on the Senate floor to-day when the vote was taken on the Williams amendment, and know that it was voted down because it did not give power enough to the Union men of Georgia. The best indication of the temper of the House is the feet that that body Is taking steps to enforce the right of voting a secret ballot Virginia. The rebels of that State have passed a law requiring every man to pat his name in full upon the Itallot he casts. This was done, of conrse, to intimidate and prevent colored men from voting. The little game will not succeed. The celebration lu re yesterday, in honor of the loth amendment, was a grand affair, and was participated in by a majority of the citi zens, both colored and white. The celebrated McFarland trial, in New York, for the murder of Richardson, is drag ging its slow length along. The accused will undoubtedly bo acquitted on tho ground of in sanity —which means in plain English, “justi fiable homicide.” Pablo, STATK^NEWS. ALBANY. The Companions of Albany Chapter, No. 15 R. A.

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.

LATEST BY TELEGRAPH. . On March 26, a meeting 1 of the Nationalises ciety for Woman’s Suffrage was held at Hano ver Square Rooms, and was very numer ously attended. Among those present were Lord Houghton, Lady Amberley, Lady Ans- truther, Mrs. Jacob Bright, M. Louis Blanc, Sir D. Wedderbum, M. P., Professor Fawcett, M. P., Mr. John Morley, Ac. Mr. P. A. Tay lor occupied the chair. 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. Special dispatch to tlie New Era.]. _ ^ , WASHEVOTON.

The original wao: <*Mj crimes a harden lemg bava been.*- From tbo Washington Chronicle, 14th.] 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. A Kind-Hearted Hug. When the brig Fred. Bliss was wrecked at Swampscott, last week, there were on board a cat with two kittens and a dog. The cat nnd one of the kittens was killed at the time ol tho wreck. The dog took the other kitten in his mouth and swam ashore with it and dug a place on the beach as a nest for it and h&s feince protected it. It was found a day ortwd ago by some of Mr. Black’s men who went to photo graph the wreck. The captain gave the dog and protege to a citizen of Swampscott, who doubtless will sec that they are welt'cared for. Boston Journal ‘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. his Gabriel x Davenport. iuark Sworn to and snbseril>ed before me, this 1st April, 1870.
