That “the Democracy" as a National party, is a myth, springing from the confused memo ries of a Past Decode, and kept before the pub lic through tbe.idiosynera(iea of eccentric gen tlemen, who, like Hirins of old, find their chief delight in “woeping over the rains of Carthage," few sane minds are prepared to doubt Without a National Platform of Prin ciples, without organisation and without lead ers; divided among t&em'sefves on all the liv ing issues of the day; discordant and bicker ing in the States when they an ont of power, and caterwauling and exposing ’ each other’s villalHies when they are in power (as in New York, for instance,) they can have no claim to recognition as a National otganiutiou. But here, in Georgia, it has been claimed that “the Democracy ” is something real and tangible. And this claim wns perhaps good, up to a very recent date. For the “party" was nnited in opposition, first, to the civil, and next to tho political rights of the freedmen; it opposed, first, “My Policy,” and next the pol icy of Congress; it opposed, first, the ratifica tion of the new Constitution, and, next, the enforcement of its plainest provisions, (ns in stanced in the expulsion of eligible members of the Assembly, and tho refusal to enact a Free School law); it denounced the Govern ment of 1868 as th* offspring of usurpation, and therefore as being “null and void," and then (one year afterward) sought to enforce Its recognition as a legal body—in all this, “ the Democracy" have been remarkably compact and nnited. Bat a day came wherein divisions arose among tho •* faithful;" and these diacanvioTTH have brought forth a brood of firctions whose name is Logion, and each of which claim re cognition ar the party! These discordant firctions are so graphically depicted by a Dem ocratic CO temporary, Ural we give place to his own testimony. Hear what the Atlanta Intel ligencer (one of the oldest and ablest Demo cratic journals in the State.) rays of its party in Georgia: In OMrata tho party U iu Ik-In-, but not as la day. of yore when It presented a united front.

A Kingdom for n King!

Wo see that Esportero has c ourteously declined the honor, and, unless tho Cortez will content themselves with a third-rate monarchical pup pet, there is every reason to believe that tho thron* of the Bourbons will remain vacant for a considerable period of time. There one very simplo and obvious way to get out of this humiliatiug embarrassment, and it is a wonder that the Cortez have not adopted it be fore, as they appear so wedded to the ideas and customs of the post—let them offer tho crown to tip- high, st bidder, after the good old .Roman fashion. This wonidbe a source of profit to the State, and, as the Royal trader wonld doubtless lose his head beiVwahehad tune to re-imburse himself from the treasury, Spain would get “value received" for its glit tering bauble, and then have chance to sell it again, and so on to an indefinite extent. l'olltlrnl Kdlforlal.. "Intense expression" is the latest triumph of the orator and th.: writer; but iu (hose days, of fluent feebleness and foreibl. im- becillity, it is the rarest thing in the world to find it in the colnmns of a daily paper; and when it is found, it emanates generally from some unknown man of the people, whose vigorous ways of thought and expression have not been corrupted by too intimate a contact with the pseudo-reiiuem. uls of civilization.

Cry.\nt Organ—from motives of pnro disinterestedness, and without any partizan design—has of late been studying, with unusual diligence; the Comptroller General's Deport Urgm in its zeal for the public good, has given soveral * items of the Governor’s xpenditnres, but has entirely omitted to note the extravagance and unauthorized expendi ture of public moneys by the Treasurer him self. On Thursday we published the fact that Alton Angier (clerk in the Treasury) had drawn, over and above his salary, one thous and dollars; and this without any authority of law. In reply to that charge, Mr. Angier pub lishes a card in the Evening Edition of the Bryant Organ of the some date, in which he says that: $850 of tho “extras" was for transcribing records of the Provisional Treasurer, the same amount having been paid to tho Comptroller’s brother for like services in Comptroller’s office, under authority of ibe General As sembly. There was on authority from the General Assembly for paying the Comptroller’s broth er; there was pone whatever for paying the Treasurer ji son (except a mere recommendation of a committee, which was not adopted by the General Assembly;) but the immaculate and vigilant “wabih dog” of the* Treasury refused to pay a warrant for services rendered by act of the General Assembly, junlcss “my son’’ should receive pay for services rendered, and with no authority of the. General Assembly therefor. Will the Treasurer now publish the Act au thorizing such work done in his office? Attention was also called to the following items from the Comptroller General’s report; f 882 65 January 20. N. L. Angier, for Stationary, printing MUr-head*. telegraphs, ex press. *c",...; July 1ft.

L. Angier, was for Express charges on the nu merous packages of money received at the Treasurer’s office and Exchange on the money sent to New York to meet the State’s indebt edness. The other one-third was mostly for the postage, accounts paid by the Treasurer, for the Executive, Comptroller General, Sec retary of State and Treasurer’s offices. Now the Express and Exchange charges may be correct os stated, bat alas for the clerk's knowledge of book-keeping! when he cannot tell for ichat his expenditures were incurred. For, with the exception of two dollars paid fbrjpostagc in the Treasury Department,not one dollar of the above warrants was expended for postage, eithar in the Executive, Comptroller General’s or in tlie Secretary of State’s Depart ment! Here are the items for postage from the Comptroller's Report, viz: January 20. N. L. Angier. for account* paid postage, box rent, 4c.. for Executive De partment, Comptroller’* and Secretary’s of fice $106 06 April 15. N. L. Angier,postage for Executive, Comptroller's and Treasurer’# offices. Sta tionery, 4c 1,343 53 May 19. N. L. Angier, postage, 4c., for Execu tive Department. Comptroller's and Treas urer's offices as per account rendered 424 77 Total. $1,931 36 Is it any wonder that mistakes of a mere bagatelle of a thousand dollars or so (erroneous ly charged os money paid out,) should not be discovered for more than a year, and then on ly by outsiders? will Mr. Angier how givo the items for pos tage not embraced in the warrants above, and included in the two warrants, “one-third of which was mostly for postage ncconuis, etc, as he states in his cord? Mr. Angier says $175 embraced in the last warrant 4 ‘wens the expenses of myself going to New York, etc.” Fare fo New York and back docs not exceed $75 ; and the “dear peo ple” have an idea that a single man might live in New York for a week at less thftu one hun dred dollars. r These facto are brought to the notice of the Committee of Investigation, because they em brace a matter of public interest, one in which the tax-payers of the State are deeply interest ed ; and not for the purpose of putting our es timable Treasurer and his Clerk to it, plain, common-sense people seem so be under the impression that the Treasurer should plnck the beam out of his own eye before at tempting to arraign the Executive. The Investigating Committee*. For mouths post the Democratic mouth pieces liavo made the atmosphere heavy with ohargesof corruption against the Executive, and the managers of the State Road. They evinced a manufacturing skill in this line that was startling to contemplate. Their “galls coined slanders like a mint” and they piled them np nntil' Pelion toppled on Ossa, and, to avoid being crashed, were" compelled to look around for something to steady their fragile structure. In this dilemma Governor Bullock, with an alacrity and earnestness of purpose that could only spring from a con science void of offense, proffered his assist ance. He proposed that Committees be ap pointed to investigate the charges brought against- him. as well as ihiee against the State Road management This part of hia mes sage finally wns presented for consideration in the Legislature. For three days the Sen&t- listeucd to the senseless mouthing* of a Hone gerford, remarkable only as an exhibition of insanity never before witnessed outside of a Lunatic Asylum. The House was entertained with a proposition to declare itself unworthy of confidence, and by going outside of its own body to find honest men, simply to flatter the tender sensibilities of those who had trumped up these charges; to commit a feto do se un heard of in legislation, and which any body of men, with a modicum of self-respect and com mon sense, wonld spurn, as on insult, which for grossness could only be excelled by the cool presumption and impertinence of the thing. Suffice it, tho Legislature survived Hunger- ford and only toiled in their dnty to that Hon orable gentleman by not appointing Bradley and Bryant as his custodians—thc-v . ?i wnnt iryant as his custodians—they even went so far os to declare that, notwithstanding the wishes of a few considerate outside friends they were not ready to admit themselves bankrupt of honesty.

These are the evil spirits they at one time de lighted to invoke, but which do not seem dis^ posed to dawn at their bidding. The commit teemen themselves are on tried. Starting ont as jurymen, these gentlemen are favored with seats in tho prisoner’s box. Such a dodge, but for its baseness and shallowness, might be con sidered a clear one.' As it is, it adds nothing to the reputation of the Democratic press of tho State, however much it may strengthen their claims to all the political honesty in the land. Let them proceed in their virtuous Made virtute. The Bryant Organ on Evidence. Capt Bryant’s Atlanta Organ, like the poor old toady in Hamlet, “is still liarping” away upon a mythical something which it denomi nates 4 ‘evidence.” Alluding to an article which appeared in tho Eba of the 19th, the snbject of which was “A Matter of Evidence,” our sorely puzzled and perplexed little neighbor says: Tho noticeable point is the remarkable statement about General Terry’s evidence. Now what is this matter which the & O. is pleased to style “Gen. Terry’s evidence?” Simply an article in the Louisville Courier- Journal (date not feiven,) an extract from which was published in the B. O. some ten days ago! The burthen of Ibis article, as it originally appeared in. the Conrier-Jonrnal (but perhaps not as it appeared garbled in the B. O.,) was, to show a ease of inconsistency, by quoting Gen. Terry against Gen. Terry! If the B. O. will furnish us with a copy of the Coorier-Jonrnal containing the entire article referred to, we will undertake to show conclu sively, and beyond the possibility of doubt, that the language (or statements) attributed to Gen. Terry were represented os having been made prior to, and contradictory of the Gen eral’s official Report, and therefore .some eight months ago! So much then, for this feat ur i of the Organ’s evidence. The next point is for tho B. O. to show such a connection between General Terry’s statements (or what is said to be his statements) and the Atlanta dispatches to the Washington Chronicle, both as to their matter, time and venue, as that the former contradict the totter. This point established, it will then be necessary for the B. O. to prove that, as between the contradictory statements of the two witnesses, one is conclusive as to the falsity of the other. The Organ wonld thus have to moke an . issue of veracity between General Teny and tho Chronicle’s Atlanta correspondent; and, at this stage of the pro ceeding, the Louisville Conrier-Jonrnal (which the B. O. endorses) wonld be found an unwieldly witness; for, as before stated, that paper assumed that it had proved an irrecon cilable discrepency between General Terry’s verbal statements (to which the B. O. refers) and General Terry’s official Report, aftewards submitted to the President! We ore glad to sec the B. O. interested i: this matter; and, now that it is studying the rales of Evidence, let it prosecute the work until it shall have sufficiently mastered tlie subject to comprehend that mere bald asser tion by the plaintiff, or vague, indefinite and slipshod statements, predicated upon remote hearsay testimony, is not such evidence as wonld warrant a judgment in bis favor! Least of all, is an ex parte statement of a general character, made by n third party for the pnrposo of invalidating the tptimouy of a main witness, to be accepted as conclusive against a statement made at a subsequent time, having an essentially different venue, and relating to an entiely different matter Convention’ that was to nominal * '**£! Failing to get the nomination for G he again relapsed into metoncholly and so quiet during the canvass that nq seemed to know whether he wa Kamskatska. But, after the over, and tho Legislature, (as organize prepared to go into an election for States Senator, Mr. Hill again ai: the surface; and, at the eleventh hour, 1 fall fledged candidate for the United Senate against the regular!

The card of Mr. D. C.

For, litQe as he may about- Bryant, Mr. Hill ami Alpeoria Bradley are leaders. So tor from being an Investigation, conducted upon fiiir and equitable premises, the Committee, it seems, turned the whole af fair into an Inquisition, instigated by Hon. Joshua Hill, tho pnrpssc of which was to break Governor Bollock’s influence and de stroy a bold and fearless Republican journal for daring to advocate the rights of Georgia Republicans before Congress. In this connection, the letter of his Excel lency, Gov. Bollock, addressed to the Repub lican members of tho Senate and House, (a synopsis of which appears in our special dis patches this morning,) is rather specific if not justly (though mercilessly) severe upon Mr. HilL That tho- Governor states nothing but facts, every well informed Georgian will at test Mr. Hill, in his efforts to obtain a seat in the Senate, has not only been guilty of the grossest inconsistencies, but be has disclosed an amount of personal malevolence and enmi ty toward the Governor, and an instance of bad faith and treachery toward his party, that is truly marvelous. We say “hia party,” because Mr. Hill, in a speech delivered before the members of the State Constitutional Convention, in 18G8, open ly proclaimed himself a Republican; and yet within.lcss than four mouths thereafter (toiling to get the nomination for Governor) he was the candidate of the Democracy for United States Senator, and now claims his seat in vir tue of <in election over the regular Republican Mr. Hill belongs to that class of po liticians who deem office essential to bodily existence, and who will not scruple at sacri ficing all political principles (if indeed they have any) or hesitate to betray the most sacred party trusts and pledges in order to obtain it Claiming to have been a consistent Union man—able to take the “Iron Clad” oath, and therefore above the necessity of relief from po litical disabilities by Congress—he stands un- blnsliingly in the face of his record of 1863, wherein he writes himself down an uncom promising opponent of Reconstruction, a pro nounced enemy of the United States Govern ment, and an unequivocal supporter of-the Davis Administration at Richmond!

Result of tlie Inx-estlgatlon—“Wliere Bid tlie Money Come From !” The evidence, os summed np by tho Judi ciary Cimmittee in their Report on the Geor gia Bribery Case (so-called,) discloses that, of the $14,500 which Governor Bollock drew upon his Bank account in Atlanta, $6,000 was for a private business matter, entirely sepa rate and distinct from any political purpose, and having no connection, directly or indi rectly, with the matter before the Committee; that the Governor, nevertheless, proposed sub mitting this transaction to tho Committeo if they desired, bat which even they declined. The evidence farther shows that, ont of the $14,500 aforementioned, $4,008 was paid Mr. Forney, and $505 to tho Globe, for printing; that $1,500 was loaned to the colored delega tion, a part of which had been already return ed—thus leaving about $2,000 for personal ex penses, for himself and family, for a space of nearly two mouths in Washingion.yinolu<ling traveling expenses, Ac. ^ Even the Majority Report of the Committee wholly exonerates tile Governor of all blame in tbe entire transaction, except in the fact of his paying what they conceived to be A high price, or an extravagant price, for printing! It docs not appear that the Governor had any understanding or agreement with the Pub lisher of the Chronicle; but that he sent them, the printing to do, and when the bill was pre sented, paid it without caviling over or dis puting the prices charged. It is not improb able that the Governor may have considered the charges high; bat when the circumstances, as set forth iu Mr. Forney's card (elsewhere published) arc considered, they do not ap pear unreasonable; and Gov. Bullock is not the man to cavil over a business transaction when the prices charged ore within the bounds of reason. Nor does the Minority Re port of the Committee concur in the Report of the Majorty wherein they attach blame to the Governor for paying this account, since the publications were all legitimuto and proper, and since there was nothing sought to be con cealed from tbe public. The Governor simply 4 ‘paid the bills, asking no questions.” Thus, it will be seen that iiio Committee are agreed in their' exoneration of Gov. Bollock from all blame, excepting merely as to tbe prices paid Mr. Forney for printing. On this point, the Committee arc divided in favor of the Governor—the minority folly sus taining him in the payment of the bill as pre sented. Tbe question lias been asked 44 Where did the money come from?” And, without await ing on answer, jhe Augusta Chronicle and Sen tinel, with its usual recklessness, jumps to tho conclusion that Bollock drew and used for the unlawful and corrupt purpose of influencing legislation against the interests of the people of tbe State their own money, which, by virtue of liia office and position, he wsa enabled to control through the agency of the Georgia National THE .U iiUsTA cunoxicmc AND tUCSXKI* (DEM.) fendfr the euphonious oaptiofi of “Organizing ” discusses the bill reported by tbe Itc- IML* XiCttcx Correspondence’ of th« New Era.)

Thus it will be seen that the Opposition will bo even more destitute of tbe means of sue cessfal political warfare in 1872, than they were in 1868. They will also labor under an additional disadvantage, iu this that had the Executive on their side, they will now IIave~lO Egnx ecutive and Congress. In 1868, the.

In the elections for Congressmen this fall, the Republicans will enter the campaign upon the policy of the President, and will be sup ported by an organization more compact and more powerful than at any previous time in the history of the great National Party. In the Administration, the Republicans liavc a vantage ground quite as strong as that held by the Democracy under Old Hickory Jackson; and, in view of all these circumstances, the exhortations of the radical Democratic press of Georgia to renewed oppostiou to the XYth Amendment, and to what they are pleased to style “Centralized Radicalism, ” looks very much like madness personified.

Hill came out in the Intelligencer of day before yesterday evening withdrawing his card, published in the same paper, of the previous day’s date. It will bo remembered that the affair grew ont of a report of the pro ceedings of the Railroad Committee, furnished The Constitution by Cok R. W. Phillips. This report stated that, when certain resolu tions were before the Committee, Cok D. P. Hill, clerk, opposed their adoption, and that the Committee overruled Mr. Phillips’ point that the clerk was not a member of the Com mittee, and therefore not entitled to speak. Cok Hill came out in a card denouncing these assertions as false, bnt in a subsequent card withdrew the language used so for os it had reference to Cok Phillips. Iu with drawing this second card Cok Hill says that, The unpleasant affivr between myself and Mr. Phillips, of Echols county, I supposed was adjusted when I signed a note indicating as much, consenting to the publication of Mr. Phillips, which apneared in the Intelligencer pLxcateiday evening, together with my note. ^TTwas ngreedDyTtti.

Harris, the State Read Treasurer, who is a bonded officer of the State; and no man, not even the officers of the Bank, nor the governor, nor tbe Superiutemtont, nor Mr. Angier, nor any one else on earth except the Treasurer or his legal representative, can draw out those deposits for any purpose what ever. Nor were the amounts drawn from the Treasury of the Stale, since therein stands oar faithful "“watch dog,” who in his zeal for the welfare of the State positively refuses to pay the warrants of the Governor or other legitimate drafts nntil “my son” gets his extra pay! Where then did the money come from? In the summer of 1868, the Democracy of the lit tle town of Albany and vicinity raised $10,000 for political purposes; and this was spent, we understand, in hiring negroes either to vote for Seymour and Blair, or else to 6toy away from the election entirely! And did anybody ask where the money came from ? Come from ! Why, it came, from tho private exchequers of gtinl-min who were interested iu tin? success of tlie Democratic ticket, and consequently who were interested in the overthrow of the K-• iistim tiou scheme in Georgia. And tli< - same Democrats have been steadily at work to rob the Republicans of the fruits of the victo ry then achieved, in efforts to nullify tho Act of Deo uni »erl8i;‘>. and to remand tlm State to the tender mercies of that “Democracy” which resorted to Revolution in September, 186S, aniT ith tin bad toiled to r fll iu easily • 2d, 1867, known a I in making Georgia the ords and political outlawry o\r, wbej^the Republican: Pressed to the Wall. Since the truth of certain special dispatches from Georgia recently printed in the Chronicle has been called into question, it may be proper to state that the Atlanta (Ga.) New Era, about two weeks ago, printed in double-leaded type, at tbe head of its editorial column, a standing offer, in which it was stated that it was author ized by a responsible party to give to any per son disproving any of tbe statements in tbe dispatches referred to the sum of $500 for each and every statement disproved. This of fer was kept standing for one week, and ap peals were daily made in the editorial colnmns of the Era to such persons as had denounced the statements contained in the dispatches as untrue, to come forward and prove their asser tions. The proffered reward was unclaimed, no one having the hardihood to attempt to deny the tacts as set forth in the dispatches. The truth is not palatable at all times, and in this instance the rebels of Georgia were forced to swallow it, thus virtually confessing their utter inability to refute a single linp. in the dis patches referred to.—Washington Chronicle, 17/A. SPIRIT OF Tine GEORGIA PRESS. > :i rT THE ATLANTA SUN (DEM.) Predicates a long .editorial essay upon - the statements (and opinions) of the Washington agent of the Associated Press, sent over the wires on the morning of- the 20th inst, in re lation to the Georgia Investigation at Wash ington. From these Associated Press reports the Sun concludes that The result proves that means to influence Senators have been adopted, and reflects very little credit upon those who employed the means in question. The unwillingness with which some of the witnesses are reported to have testified, is also a bad indication. Tbe Son then re-arranges the statements (and opinions) of the Associated Press agent, reviews the testimony as reported by him and concludes (therefrom) that The evidence shows that somebody has fall en iu with the impression that money rules the world, and have made lavish offers of this po- tent motive pow»-r to influence the action of legislators in a certain direction. It is but an exposition of a solitary instance of bribery and corruption, which are too frequently re sorted to when important ends aro to be gain ed or thwarted.

According to Webster the significa tion of the word is “One 'who adheres to a government by the i>eople, or favors the ex tension of the right of suffrage to all classes of men.” Is not this the doctrine of the Rad ical party?

'Waafelnsti must, understand that everything is peace, and the National flag is honored everywhere! Why, sir, the Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church South have just adjourned. The Church North sent down the venerable Bishop Janes and other distinguished mem bers for the purpose of effecting a reconcilia tion; but they were received .’coldly, almost with scorn. Tricar 'Wnmdnr were ^repulsed; and while the Methodist Episcopal Church not to surprise any one, the qnast-Repnblicaiis of the Judiciary Committee arrayed themselves on the side of the old rebel leaders who are striv ing for a return of their political power and prestiges. The Ohio Democrat undertook the job of ridiculing the bill out of counte nance, and succeeded about as well a? he will when ho comes to explain the consistency of his vote to put Georgia back under military rule, with liis previous record. What tho few Democrats remaining in the Senate have to say occasionally, don’t matter much, though. It is only with the utterances of the tirne- serviug Republicans that I care to have any thing to do. The bill contains the following clause: . That any person who shall hereafter know ingly accept or hold any office under the United States, or any State, to which he is in eligible under tho third section of the foui> teeuth article of amendments of the Constitu tion of the United States, who shall attempt to hold or exercise the duties of any such office, shall bo deemed guilty of a misdemeanor against the United States, and upon conviction thereof before tbe circuit or district court of the United States' shall be imprisoned not more than one year and fined not exceeding $1,000, and shall forever be disqualified to hold any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States or any State. You see that this wonld effectually cut off some of the old leaders of secession which are still living in. your State, for instance, gasping for a new lease of* political power, while the hand of justice grasps their jugular organs. Ferry then charged on Senator Morton that the state ments contained in his late great speech on the Georgia question were taken from old re cords of 1868. This brought about the fol lowing conversation: Mr. TIIAYER. I wish to ask the Seuator question if it does not interrupt him. Mr. FERRY. Not at alk Mr. THAYER. I do not wish to interfere between the Senator from Connecticut and the Senator from Indiana; but as the Senator from Connecticut charges that those were quo tations from the reports of the Freedmen’s Bureau made some years ago, I should like to ask him what he thinks of the reports of Gov ernor Holden, of "North Carolina, and tho re cord of the courts there, the report of Governor Senter, of Tennessee, and the report of ’Gen eral Terry, made only last year? Mr. MORTON. The nnited testimony from the South! 1 Mr. THAYER. Yes, sir; the united testi mony from the South. Is there peace and or der there, or have there been murders and out rages such ’as are not known in any civilized community within tlie last six months ? Ferry tried to creep out of the small hole he had built for himself, but the temper of the Indiana giant was np and he didn’t permit his friend t from Connecticut to escape quite so easily as he anticipated. I give you some of his heaviest hits: Mr. MORTON. Mrz President, I thank the Senator fromConnccticut lor making the speech that he has made at this time, as it will en able me to say some things that I had no op portunity of saying the other night after the conclusion of the Georgia debate. The Sena tor repeats what was that night said by the Senator from Illinois, [Mr. TrumbuU,] that the violence in the South had not existed since 1868, and that I referred to reports of the Freedmen’s Bureau in 1868, and ho gave the lOflatttoy to understand that since that time all things were lovely, and there were peace and security in the South. I read the reports of the Freedmen’s Bareau in 1868, to prove that the Ku Klux organization existed as early as tbe beginning ef 1868. I showed its existence there tyro years ago. I showed what it had done as long ago as the toll of 1868: and I appeal to every Senator present if I did not try to bring down the history of each State that I referred to at this time. I went on to prayed for the South and for tho world at large, there was ho prayer uttered for the Gov ernment of the United States; there was not one word said that recognized the existence of the Government of tiie United States. And yet men who entertain those feelings are invi ted to come upon the floor of the Senate and to take part iu the Government of the United States. . I would keep these men out of office for their crimes. If the Senator admits that it was a crime to originate and carry on this re bellion, then he admits that these men have no right to hold office; and because of their crimes I would keep them out. We cannot deal with seven or eight million people; but when we find a class of men well defined, who were tho leaders and the originators of the re bellion, we can, by every principle of justice and sound policy, put our hands upon them and say, “You shall not becomfe the law-mak ers of this land.” I say to my friend from Alabama that if the policy he indicates should become the law of this land, my opinion is, that the seat which he occupies soVorthilyand so much to my satisfaction, would soou know him no more forever. So you sec the true metal still rings. Phy- eal disease may prostrate our noble Senator. Patient though weary, be may sit in his Sena torial seat watehteg the Coarse of events, but lay a hand upon a loyal man, touch tho old flag with defiling fingers, or call up the ghost ly apparition of the dead and lost cause, and in a moment his eye regains its old fire, his limbs obey tbe volition of his . mighty brain, and as the thunderbolts of Jove were hurled among doubting heathens, so Morton’s voice rings ont clear and loud for justice to man and to master. THE RECONSTRUCTION COMMITTEE Have agreed to report a bill for the admission of Georgia precisely similar to that originally reported for Virginia. An additional clause, however, provides that the four States, Virgin ia, Mississippi, Texas and Georgia may organ ize militia forces for the maintenance of law and order. The passage of the bill will no donbt be telegraphed to you before this is in print.

Says: We are one of those who believe that the re moval of Mercer University to Macon, would, within a reasonable time, return the amount of this subscription annually to the people in the trade and business which it would bring here; but that mere fact, if true, would not conclude the propriety of a city subscription for the object: That is a point which the peo ple should and most decide for themselves.— The objections suggested by “Caution” in another column, are entitled to just such wieght as the people shall give them. They may or may not be of prac tical force according to public sentiment on the snbject Tlie writer, for example, though no Baptist does not attach a particle of weight to the denominational objections; but others might The fact that the College is under the auspices of the Baptists would constitute no objection to it with us as an institution of learning, while it would probably add much to its efficiency by bringing to it the pecuniary support of a large and powerful denomination in Georgia. The point is to get a strong, well endowed institution, and we think Mercer University,in Macon, would probably be abont the strongest in the State. [These remarks are not'without application in Atlanta.] THE AUaUHXA REPUBLICAN (BRYANT DEM.) Says: Has not been settled by Congress, and it is impossible to say when it will be.

I motif. nnmiHlv viplnul of Texas,) “the most ungodly, wicked, aban doned wretches on tho toco of the earth. ’ Still the Governor of Georgia, as if not to be outdone in this infamous work, extends his Ihand of congratulation, and the smile of np proval and praise to these calumniators, am nothing could more folly give the denial to .. - fo these slanders and more forcibly show the pa tience and forbearance of the people of Geor gia, than that this tradneer goesnuinjured.—- With such a record, he cannot expect the re spect of the good and patriotic. A Governor with the spirit of a true man wonld take pride in defending his people against wrongs anil calumnies, but we 1 - ing one who counte those who are vilest in their slanders. Tur- to some extent did prevail, caused by ed by tho declarations of Southern Senators? Bnt now the Senator would make tho im press* on, ,as did tho Senator from Illinois, that I had read from tho report of ihe Freedmen’s Bureau of tho condition of things in 1868 to prove what they were now. I did no such thing. I read from thoso reports, and the Senator ought to understand it, to show that more than two years ago those infernal organ izations had tneir existence and had taken root I endeavored to trace their consequences down to the present time; and I referred to the evidence ol' it from time to time. I was not met by tacts; but I was met by a repre sentation that all that was violent and bloody was in 1868, while those States were still under military rule, but since they have been restored all had become peaceable, and there was secur ity for men of all classes, of opinion, or poli tics. Sir, I denounced thnt statement then, and I denounce it now, as wholly untrue; and I tell those Senators it is not in their power to throw their mantle aronnd the blood that is flowing in the Southern States and conceal it Sir, while there are three million people to day in the South who have no security for life or property, who have scarce any redress in tho State Courts—and the testimony of Sena tors aronnd me will bear me out in what I say—while murders are committed from time to time here and there, we are told that all is peace and security, and that I was misrepre senting the condition of things in the South. Why this desire on the part of those Senators to cover np the real condition of things? The Senator from Connecticut says that my speech on the Georgia bill was disingenuous and unfair. That speech is on the record. If, I misstated the facts he has the right to cor rect me. If my argument that I deduced from those tacts was not a fair one, he can correct that. But, sir, whilo not meeting my tacts, while not disputing my evidence, and when the concurrent testimony comes in from nearly every Southern State from day to day and from week to week, it is not legitimate for him to come in here and say that it was disin genuous and unfair. I simply intended by that speech to state to tbe country the true condition of the South. Instead of exaggera tion I believe my statements were short of the troth. The truth was so terrible that I hardly dared to tell the whole of it to the country. Then, again, the Senator says ho does not want to remove all disabilities for the sake of conciliation. I take it in that the Senator contradicted liis own argument All his ar gument after that was for conciliation, and to show that it would conciliate the people of the South by taking away these disabilities.— But he says he does not want to do it for the sake of conciliation. He intimates that there are three hundred thousand men embraced in the fourteenth amendment Where docs he get his evidence? No, sir; there is not the one sixth part of that number. I have never heard it estimated at over fifty thousand. I do not suppose there are over forty thousand men embraced in that amendment And who are they ? They are tho old politicians ; the men who before the war had held oflico and taken an oath to support the Constitution of the United States and afterward went into the rebellion, thereby committing perjury. They are the very men who got up tho rebellion; the old politicians whoso characters are formed, and who can never change. You may bring them upon tho floor of this Senate, and they will bo just what they were during the rebellion. Why, Mr. President, so tar as these men are concerned, what ground have you for encour agement? I understood the Senator to say that our flag was now respected in the South. Mr. DRAKE. ‘ ‘ Honored. ” Mr. MORTON. ‘‘Honored” iu the South. Where? I will say my friend was mistaken; and tho class of men that ho proposes now to relieve and to give tho privilege of coming into Congress will never honor that flag. Why, sir, only last year, down iu Georgia a State Fair was to bo held. I do not know whother the Senator was there or not; I think he was - not, or perhaps ho would not entertain hi3 fortune of hav- I present views; but I know a great many were -'-mtulatrs j invited from the North, and I think some northern members of Congress went down there. It was expected, of course, that iu a The Georgia Case in Congrcu. Tlie Committee on Reconstruction, ob elW 17tli, agreed to report to the House tbe Geor gia bill as first reported from tho ConmitW to the House, with an additional section pro viding for the repeal of an act approved March 2d, 18G7, prohibiting the'raising and arming a militia force. The following is the bill, as it it will be re ported: An Act to admit the State of Georgia to rei>- resentaiion in tho Congress of the United States. Whereas the people of Georgia have framed and adopted a constitution of State goveru- ment which is republican; and whereas the Legislature of Georgia, elected under said con stitution, has ratified tho fourteenth and fif teenth amendments to the Constitution of the United States; and whereas the performance of these several acts in good faith is a condi tion precedent to the representation of the State in Congress; therefore *Be it enacted, Ac., That tho said State of Georgia is entitled to representation in the Congress of the ftaftufrOtatesc JfrgvHbd, That before any member of tho Legislature of said State shall take or resume his seat, or any officer of said State shall'enter upon the duties; of his office, he shall take and subscribe, and file in the office of the Secretary of State of.' Georgia, for permanent preservation, an oatlu or affirmation in the form following; “L. , do solemnly swear (or affirm) I have never taken an oath, ns a member of Congress, or os on officer of the United States, or as a member of any- State Legislature, or os an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, and afterward engaged in insurrection pr rebellion against tho same, or given aid or oomfort to the enemies thereof. So help me God.” Or under the pains and penalties of peijory (aa th« ca-c may be.) Or such person shall, in like manner, take, subscribe, and file the following oath or affirmation: “I,. , do solemnly swear (or affirm) that 1 have by act of Congress of the United States, been relieved from the disabilities imposed! upon me by the fourteenth amendment of tbe Constitution of the United States. So help me God.” Or under the pains and penal ties of perjury, (as tho case may be;) which oaths or affirmations shall be taken before and certified by any officer-lawfully authorized to administer oaths. And any person who shall knowingly swear or affirm falsely in taking either of such oaths or affirmations; shall be deemed guilty of peijory and shall be pun ished therefor by imprisonment not less than one year and not more than ten years, and shall be fined not less one thousand dol- • lars and not more than ten thousand dollars.. And in all trials for any violations of this act the certificate of the taking of either of said oaths or affirmations with proof of the signa ture of the party accused, shall be taken anil’ held as conclusive evidence that such oath or affirmation was regularly and lawfully admin istered by competent authority: And provided farther, That every such person who shall neglect for a period of thirty days next after- tho passage of this act to take, subscribe and file snch oath or affirmation os aforesaid, shall: be deemed and taken to all intents and parpo - ses to have vacated his office: And providstd further, That the State of Georgia is adxtitiud to representation in Congress as ol the States of the Union, upon the follcanteg fun damental conditions: First, That tfe Consti tution of Georgia shall never L* so amend ed or changed as to deprive any citizen or class of citizens of the United States of the right to vote who ore entitled to vote by the constitution herein recognized, exoept as a punishment for such crimes as are now felo nies at common law, whereof they shall have been duly convicted under laws equally appli cable to all the inhabitants of said State, J vided, that any alteration of said constitution, prospective in its effects, may be made in re gard to the time and place of residence of voters. Second, That it shall never be lawful for the said State to -deprive any citizen of the United States, on account of liis race, color,. or previous condition of servitude, of the right to hold office under tho constitution and laws of said State, or upon any such ground to re quire of him any other qualifications for office than such as are required of all other citizens. Third. That the Constitution of Georgia shall > never be so amended or changed as to deprive any citizen or class of citizens of the United- States of the school rights and privileges se- • cured by.the Constitution of said State. Sec. 2. And be it farther enacted, That so * much of the ne* entitled “An act making ap propriation for the support of the army for the year ending June 30, 1868, and for other pur poses,” approved March 2, 1867, as prohibit.- the organization, arming, or calling into ser vice of the militia forces iu the States of Geor gia, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia, be, and. the same is hereby, repealed.
