In Massachusetts, New Hamp- i shire, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Ver mont, Wisconsin and New York, the lash is discarded, and other punishment resorted to. In New York three modes of punishment not elsewhere employed are practiced, viz: the shower bath, the crucifix and bucking. Shaving the head, so common in former times, is still occasionally resorted to in the Missouri State Penitentiary, and in Sing Sing prison in New York; in the latter, it is stnd, only in coiumnuirated “JR,® 1 2L, ed by tlio Legislature. cmhl support the reso- . ration that the Legists- I m without action, but | jislation. ►posed the resolution, a vote of 22 to 10, ai >v.ers, Campbell, Colrnau, Dickey, Griffin, Harris, Higbee, Jones, Mathews, >u, Sherman, Smitli 7th, Traywick, Wallace and Candler, Fain Grif- McArthnr, Stringer The committee are of the opinion, however, lotion • I that thero has been crnel punishment inflicted . .. . , upon *° mo prisoners by men employed as / ifnTnf^n^fimdFho « verst-era.

Mr. SPEER presented the following report J of the Committee on the Penitentiary, which was read and laid on the tabl i/o< S 1*01101 7oll Gtivrgia: We have report and and taken i St the last to wit: f ‘Re.v'hr initteee be to visit the lYnito places win re the co make a tin*rough t dition mid manner pan Itrprrsentatirt .* of mit the following testimony, made resolutiuu passed lencral Assembly, i.

Newton clerk of the committee, and then adjourned, to meet in Milledgeville, Georgia, on May 20. In pursuance of said adjournment, the committee met, and on the 21st ot May proceeded to take testimony. Mr. Jobu Darnell, the Principal Keeper, was first interrogated, who made several charges against the lessees, Messrs. Grant, Alexander A: Co., of cruel treatment to the convicts in divers ways. The Principal Keeper seemed to know but little of the management and treatment of the convicts of bis own knowledge, he having spent nearly all of his time in Milledgeville, where there are but few of the convicts kept, nearly the entire .number being employ «kt on the Macon and Augusta and Air-Line Rail roads. After taking the testimony of a large number of witnesses in and around Milledgeville, and visiting the stockades and places of work on the Macon and Augusta Railroads, where a large number of the convicts arc employed, under the immediate charge of Mr. William r> D. Grant, one of the lessees, the committee adjourned to Atlanta, and here took a large amount of testimony, and from hero visited the Aie-Line Railroad, where the balance of the convicts are engaged, under the immediate supervision of Thomas Alexander, one of the Utmitment generally, and inspected tboir cloth- iug, rations, hospital accommodations and diet, and the places provided for their security ' juid rest at night Every effort was made to gather all the in formation that the committee could reason ably obtain. In taking testimony, every i*rsoii was allowed to come before the committee that wished to give evidenee, except the coiriots themseh. . and with them conversations were freely held, as before stated. Many of the witnesses were discharged eonriots. It is due to tl*.- l.ssees here to state, that they wereprevented from confronting the wit nesses. This probably is the cause of but very little or no rebutting testimony being taken. The lessees tlieuisrlve, slating that their ex- rliuion from the presence of the witnesses would present any effort un their port to re fute statements made against them. This coons was adopted by the committtee to prevent intimidation of the witnesses that were expected to come before it; and consider- , too, their investigation one more of in- The committee ore pleased that nearly oil | these coses of trinity complained of occurred ■era! mothes ago, when the present system I was new, and the proper management yet to be learned. At this time there seems to be a great im provement upon the management and treat ment of the prisoners. And we hope that, for the fntnre, at least until the expiration of the contract with Grant, Alexander <fc Co., by a proper discharge of the duties of the principal keeper of the Penitentiary, that mnch of the irregnlarities heretofore complained of will be obviated. The Principal Keeper min plains of a want of means to obtain proper and correct infor mation of the nnmbcr of convicts and length of sentences; soys that the convicts ore car ried directly to the railroads upon which they are employed, with the exemplification papers from the ooantieg from which tl. and that it occasionally occurs that he doe* not get these papers for some considerable time afterw ards, and may, in some instances, never get then), all of which, wo think, con lie remedied by the Principal Keeper requir ing the lessees to furnish him immediately npon the arrival of a convict, with the exem plilie.ition papers, and to require the lessees fa make to him a monthly report, giving the nano s of all convicts then in their employ, and the names of all those that died, dr were discharg' d, or cacaped, daring the month. The committee found a discrepancy in the report of the Principal Keeper, and the reports of the lessees, of the number of convicts now on baud. The Principal Keeper's book showed fonr hundred and ninety-six (496.) whilo tho lessees oply report three hundred and uiglity (380) convicts, iu detail, as fol- White males :....; 50 White females. 1 Colored males Jk 304 Colored females. ..^KSH ■ 16 Total, June4, 1870... 380 This number is almost daily changing, by new convicts coming in, by discharges, deaths, escapes, etc. The boon of labor that the convicts are re quired to perform are stipulated in the con tract by the State and the lessees, as follows: From November to April, ten honrs; and from April to November twelve hoars. The lessees construe this to mean the whole num ber of hours bent stated,' shall he consumed in actual labor by the convicts; the time of go ing to and from tho plaoes of labor is not eon siilercd as a portion of the specified time. The prisoner* are required to wash their and put on clean clothes every Son e also investigated, from gen eral rumor, some charges of conversion of public property by former officers of the Pen lieutiarr, and find that a lot ot iron waa taken from the Penitentiary and sold by O. IL Walton, former Principal Keeper, for the sum of nine hundred dollars, of which only five hundred dollars has been re turned to the State. Also other articles of property, taken and now being used by parties, and no amount paid to the State for tho some. Also in tho purchase and sale of other Articles, wo find larger prices chsrged the Stato than the articles cost, oud smaller prices charged for articles sold, especially to officers of the Penitentiary, than the cost of said arti- o)as to tho State; for tho frill particulars ofl which we respectfully refer you to tho accom panying testimony. The testimony is extensive ami conflicting, aud much of it K and should, bo considered with mnch allowance, as there are many rea-l aona why imaginations are so often construed, encouraged aud cultivated, until they seem to become'mets. And especially in esses like theirs, w ben it is so easy for passion, interest, insliee and revenge to creep in, with all their biasing influences, upon the judgment and action of man. ... Tho committee, however, after considering the matter in all it* phases, think they are sustained iu reporting as follows: That the general condition of the prisoners is good, their personal appearance supports, very strongly, this conelmnon. Their clothing is comfortable, with sufficient changes. XMrfrmd is of a good,'wholesome quality, \> ittl a fair ' a! it IV. a!..! -.1. ... : 1> ... a.I I them. Of their medical treatment the comrnit- tec had but little means of adjudging; though from what information we derived, wo are of the opinion that it may answer the purpose. The stockades, or quarters, are, in the opin ion of the committee, too small for the number of pn~ met - u -a.dlv required to sleep in them, especially in warm weather. no Lours allowed them for sleep are, in some cases, iusuftreientduring the short nights. The calling of the cooks from among those tlist labor hanl, at a very early hour in the morning, necessarily aispsm all the balance. 4n,| the committee could l.ar.iK .. scientions reprimand not to mention and on-1 deavor to correct some practices that ore had by the lassecs, and others tolerated among the convicts on the Sabliath. Those that are had by the lessons are diller- eut kinds of labor than the can iets aiv lured to do on "the Sabbath day- Those that are dom lave an opportunity to wash their hands and faces in the morning. The committee, having thus given a synop sis of its doing and findings, would most re spectfully recommend to the General Assem bly the adoption of a resolution directing his Excellency, the Governor, to instruct the Principal Keeper of tho Penitentiary to require of the lessees prompt tranmittals to him of all exemplification papers of convicts, os they ore received by them; also, to make to him monthly reports, stating the names of all con victs in their charge; the names of all con victs who died, escaped, or were pardoned, or discharged during the post month; also, to instruct the Principal Keeper to visit places occasionally where the oonvicts arc kept, and to inspect tho prisoners and verify these monthly reports, and to require the leasees to abate the causes of complaint referred to in this report, os follows: That all labor on tho Sabbath day, by the convicts, except such as is absolutely neots- was not clear as to the provision, but bo knew that there was no moneys and a want of funds. Mr. RICH stated that there was no immedi ate demand fur this money, and that there were reports of certain committees which would dear up the matter of loaning the m.viey at a low rate per cent., Ac. ilr. HETHUXE advocated the resolution, saying that the money could be returned to the fnmL ilr. PORTER differed from Mr. Betliuue and hoped that the money in question would not be touched for other purposes. Mr. DUNCAN spoke in favor of the rssolu- tii .ii. Mr. LANK, of Brooks, was opposed to auv hasty action in financial matters, and was op posed to adopting the resolution, and would prefer that it should be referred to a Commit tee. Mr. LEE, of Newton, said that the Shite needed money and had some for schools, but had no schools. He moved to postpono the consideration of tho question nntil to-morrow. Mr. SCOTT read two clanscs from the Con- stitntion in reference to the poll tox, tax on shows, liquors, Ac. A message from the Senate was received an nouncing that the general appropriation act was continued by that body, in which they asked tho concurrence of the House. Mr. SCOTT said that the poll tax was levied for educational purposes and cannot be used for any other purposes, also that there was a great cry throngbont the State for the appli cation of this very fund for the education of the youth of this State. Mr. DUNCAN stated that the object of the resolution was only to borrow tho money from the educational fund, and if the State nsed it, she is liable for its repayment—that it was a question of economy. Sir. DUNCAN at the conclusion of his remark* called the previous question. Tho motion to put the resolution off until to-morrow was lost resolution of indefinite postponement prevailed. A motion was made and carried to take up the Senate resolution. The qnestiou was put and a call mado for the yeas and nnys, which resulted in yeas 57; nays 48. So the resolution was adopted Mr PORTER moved to adjourn until to morrow, 13 m. Lost. of Mr. DUNCAN. Mr. Boully, editor of the Hawkinsville Gazette, was invi ted to take a seat on the floor.

They settled all that long ago, and the only good of sorb rehearsal on this occasion is to bear ft read by a good voice. As • historical docu ment it is interesting. I expected to hear,and was not disappointed, some allusion made to the greet conflict which has recently been con cluded. After all, the fighting was tho least port of that business. Although Gen. Grant is here present, aching to make a speech to you on the matter [great laughter], I have no doubt bo thinks there was some fighting. Yet, after all, measure it ns mnch as yon please, make the diameter co equal with that of the earth's, and then docblo it, and it was the least part of all that was done in that great four years that elapsed; for while we were fighting, this country was ena bled to enfold an example, and to make a de monstration of government which ft never made before, and coold not have been made except under some such pressure as that Any yacht will stand weather when it is moor- ad in New York harbor; put it out to sea where the tornado eatebes it, and then abe is brought to her moorings, and sha shows yon how she is made aud what staff she is made of. So with a great people spread on a great conti nent, almost rather in abundance. Why shouldn’t she be prosperous? Men said this is no test of republican governments, aud uo test that its people were the greatest in the world, and its Government the greatest There arc two governments in the world, the imperial and tho democratic—everything between them being bastard. It is an experi- t. I would not say that republicanism not the best form of government in the world, but it is the one that suits the Ameri can people, and I will not determine whether it would not be a better form of government for monarchies than that they hold. When spoke at London, in Exeter Hall, 1863, on this subject, several Americans nudged me and said: “Explain bow it is liberty-loving democrats are hobnobbing with the Russian officers in New York?" Aud my reply wak: “I have found more sympathy from mankind for the enslaved, and more lib erty in the lie/rt of the Russian Gov. eminent, than I did in the heart of tho English Government, which had its face against us in the attempt to emanci pate the slaves.” [Applause] But am not here this afternoon to make out a case for his Majesty the Emperor; I am to speak this afternoon for your majesties, the Demo crats. aud I hold that the great conflict through which we have passed—the great ten years which is now rounding out and ripening itself —lias done a great deal more than to show we could overoome the South. That is the leest I am glad it has done that; that we were able to doit I knew we should; we know we shonld. I knew it for this reason; that this people are alow, cautious, mighty particular, and hard to get agoing, but, like a huge heap of green hickory, when they get agoing noth ing can put them out; aud so we gained mo mentum daily as we went on. The South ore more mereunaL They start quicker, and stop quicker. They charge we did not boat them, but wore them out. I take it so, for fighting means wearing out; and ft docs not mean merely the bayonet or tbe ballet, for there are a great many things besides to constitute war. lint tbe great point is this: They werewbip- ped and tho Government was saved, and, the great line of longitude that God put round about the North and South to hold them to gether waa not snapped, and it will be one country unless we betray those principles on which nnitv depends. Of tho few things which liave been demonstrated by this con flict, one is that democratic government can contain all those great functions which have been supposed to be peculiarly the property of strong governments. If there be one thing that a strong government boasts of, that is law and the execution of law; for it mnst maintain order in the community. I point out the ex ample of the States of tho North; to more than twenty millions of people convulsed with civil war, and who devoted themselves to the straggle of fivo years’ duration; and I point tho world to tho example of the nation residing in peace, maintaining tbe structure of society, carrying on the mechanical arts, carrying for ward education, and enlarging and developing benevolent operations. There never was i time when not only the unanimity of the Gov eminent was saved during such an intestine convulsion, but when so many debts were paid, when so many colleges founded new profes sorships, and so many shops were established for internal industry. More than tlrnt, it has shown strength favorable to armies. It was said that a republic might hr - ■ — but it could not have a standing army, or ex pect to excel as a military' power. They are huge and strong, but their strength is bo dis tributed that it cannot be concentrated. IVar means concentration of power, nnd, therefore, this republic could not b9 a warlike nation. I refer you to any nntion on the face of the globe, no matter how rich or extensive, who could in so short n time muster a million of soldiers as the North did, and nearly tho same nuuibcrra the South. When the people thus determine their laws they get them; when they determine their policy they carry it out, aud when the people say war, there is no other government on the earth tike a freo popular govt rnment to make an army, if you have the officers prepared. God forbid that old West Point should go down—that is your standing army. Put West Point down and you either become feeble or else you are obliged to enlist twenty thousand men to uphold the Govern ment.' Educate officers and you can dispense with the army, for ft takes but a tittle time to discipline the men aud put them into perfect organization. Educate the officers, or you must substitute for them a standing army. They are cheap too. There la nobody of men loss wartiko than military officers [laughter); therefore we ore not in danger from them. I set oat to malm that sober, bat I could not re sist the temptation, though I do assure you I had not McClellan in my thoughts. [Great Laughter.] We have raised a million and a halt of men, and never was an army better served, better clothed and handled and better organized, jnst so soon as they had learned to adapt their mili tary education to the pattern of the magnitude of this continent And three or fonr years of such fighting as they experienced I hope never will again be seen in this land. The conflict that has been settled could not be avoided. But methinks, there has been enough of bloodshed, and that the sacrifice made shonld stand for ages before God. Well it was predicted loudly that just as soon as our army became disbanded there would be no earthly power to restrain the ambitions officers nnd that there would be no peace from the disbanded soldiers who came home with the habits of the camp. As near as I can observe, it is certain that the camp spoiled a good many boys, and it is just os certain that tbe campaavedas many others. A great many went into tho war good, and broke down un der temptation and became bad, and came home sorrows to their friends; bat it is jnst as true that there were hundreds and thousands of lame-limbed, purposeless boys, who went into that camp—their patriotism became fired even to their fingers’ ends—and they came home citizens, of whom we should feel proud. And ax to Urn demoralization of the army, the snow that melts on the hillsides fails not to leave a freshet; nor is ft possible lor the storm which bursts over the mountains not to up turn bonks and undermine some trees; bnt you are witnesses that in the disbandment of this army, in no city or county or town in these States was any complaint made that any ono suffered by the incursion, or by the mis conduct of our soldiers. [Cheer.] It is a tes timony I desire to have borne over the world, that a iailtion of *■«**«■ soldiers went back to the farm and shop, and no order of society, and not one law of the community tarnished by their return. It is a testimony they de serve. It is a testimony to the institutions under which they have had their training. It is said that a Republican government could never pay great debts. The bonds of such a government could never be negotiated, and the people would not pay them if they did not tike- to be taxed. Weti, I will admit that if yon had studied, and got the devil to help you (and he is a good stndcnt,) you could not, have brought to bear on this American peo ple a temptation that would be more trying.— This Government was encumbered witli a debt of three thousand millions of dollars, and on its effort to repay that debt, I looked with in terest. I prophesied it would pay it. I havo r things, and let me say, that oneehalf of me is os good a prophet as yon could find, and if yon could bring up the oth er half, I would be better satisfied with my- I waa abroad at the tune: I was aware self. of the people’s willingness to pay a national] . debt incurred in maintaining the unity of the It-tia ltas a woman question. Government, and I had a personal interest in its fulfillment And bow is it now? -Ido not only declare that we have proved ourselves a great people, but aver, take it man for man, that there is not such a wealth producing population on the globe as tbe American people Wo make more money per year than any other people on the,globe, and it will be joyful tiding-.to most of yon when I say we shall continue lo qtnraer. vi u nave me ami tn ktoit, and when tide question wav issue between tbe great political parties,'and when every inducement was held out to repu diate it, ibis people, with one voice, said the debt shall be paid, principal and interest to ths utmost farthing. [Applsse-l It is tbe worst possible thing for a nation to have the reputation of dishonesty. It does not pay a nation, like onrs, that wants money to built tip a continent; and its reputation is dearer to it than that of the merchant. No people van brer to lose their reputation, and we less than any other, who want money ns a loan. It is onr plow, our saw, and oar locomotive, aud wa cannot afford to lose the reputation of honesty. We have it, and we shall keep ft. We have refused to repudiate our just obli gations, expressed or implied, nnd we have re ceived the benefit of our integrity and honesty. [Applause. ] I am thankful for that expression of your approbation, bnt is not what I ex pected. I expected to see yon go wild. There Ls another matter which I think has been de by this conflict, and that is, that this nation is a peaceful nation as well as a warlike one. Tho capacity of war is in us, bnt tbe disposition of peace roles; and it ongbt cheerful compliance. Acknowledgement are now due anti here tendered for like repeated favors.' 3.

We have more than we con attend to, and more than we can give away. We want no more territory; we want to disturb no nation in their territory; we want the world to understand that we are at peace with Mexico and with Central America and the West India Islands. I am at peace with Cuba, and I wish the Cubans would lick out those Spaniards. [Applause.] I would willingly do everything I could without violat ing the proper neighborhood of nations to at tain. that end. General Grant and I feel about alike on that subject. He would like to see that thing settled in the right way, bnt we don’t see how hands are to get into it. We want the world to understand this is no nation of freebooters.

She will tolerate no foreign soldier on her soil, and she will put no soldiers on theirs.

Consequently, in summer, the flesh loses, in some degree, its firmness, the muscles lack their usual elasticity and vigor, and tho weight of tbe body diminishes. These are clear indications that the ordinary supply of the life-sustaining principle s“ ‘ edhjr the food we eat, is not sufficient to meet the re quirements of the system under a high temperature. There is another reason for this, besides the direct in fluence of the heat, viz: tne loss of appetite and the weakening of the digestive powers which it occasions. Under these circumstances a wholesome invigorant is evidently needed, and the best and safest is Hostet ler’s Stomach Bitters. This admirable vegetable tonic 1 alterative, acta favorably npon the system in sev- cirJ ways. It increases tho appetite and facilitates di- gtstioo, thereby inclining the stomach to receive and esaUing it to assimilate a dne amount of nourish ment. It also tones the relaxed secretive organa and ti/obowels. Under its operation the process of emaci ation, occasioned by the drain through the pores, is ai rented, the whole frsmo refreshed and invigorated, aud the spirits exhilarated. The dyspeptic, the bili ous, the nervous, the debilitated, scarcely need to be told it is precisely the stimulant and corrective they ought to take at this season. Thousands of them kuow the fact by experience. Nothing in the pharma copeia (or out of it) will supply its place—lea8t of all tke trashy local nostrums which some unscrupulous dealers would be glad, for the benefit of their own eta, to peddle out in its stead, july 12-dxwlw Man hood ami ‘Womanhood.——E*sfiys for young men, ou tho passional attraction of the sexes, afid tho happiness of True Marriago, when perfect nunhcod and perfect womanhood unite to consecrate tke \miou.
