aa spaas! Wttkljt ATLANTA, GEORGIA,: JULY 20* lStO. From the Daily New Era of the 14th.] \ukceb University The Meeting tjxtrr •Vir.RT.—Pursuant to a call, published in the Hty ]v\pers, a large number of tlio solid citi zens of Atlanta assembled at tlie City Hall, last night and organized the meeting bj* call ing Chief Justice Joseph E. Brown to the Chair. Major George IBOyer was requested to act as Secretary. Chief Justice Brown stated that the object of the meeting, as he understood it, was to take into consideration the best means of se curing the location of Mercer University in the city of Atlanta. He hoped that gentlemen ronld take the floor and discuss the matter. |ilr. Jonathan Norcross moved that the Chair appoint a Committee of five to draw np resolutions for the meeting to consider. The motion was carried nnanimonaly, and the Chair appointed on the* Committee the following gentlemen: Jonathan Norcross, E. E. Bawson, S. R. McCary, Oliver Jones and Rev. Mr. Ketehum. The last named gentleman requested the snbstitntion of an other in his place and the Chair appoint ed Judge John D. Pope. The Committee then retired for consulta tion, and, after loud and repeated calls for Colonel Geo. W. Adair, that gentleman took the floor and addressed the meeting. He wss profoundly impressed with n sense of the im portance of the object for which they were assembled. He proposed to consider it as a business matter and in a business light Ho dwelt upon tho influence of colleges; the edu cational wants of the people; and the probable inrr. ase in the wealth And population of the city in the event of the removal of Mercer University to this place. He disclaimed any thing liko sectarian partiality and avowed a willingness to subscribe liberally for the pur pose of bringing 'Emory College, and any other College, with a liberal endownment to Atlanta. On the return of the Committee, Mr. Nor- cross as chairman, presented three resolutions to the meeting. The resolutions stated in substance, that the time bad come when it was necessary for the city of Atlanta, to encourage institutions of learning; that it was the sense of the meeting that the City Council of Atlanta, should sub scribe the snm of dollars to Mercer University, to secure its location in Atlanta, and that a petition be presented to the Legis lature to logalize said subscription; that the canvassing agents already engaged in soliciting private subscriptions for the above object be urged and requested to continue their efforts. Mr. Vorcross supported the resolutions in a a brief hot able speech, setting forth the ad vantages which would accrue to the city by se curing the location of Mercer University, and urged the citizens to enter into the movement with the determination to make Atlanta the “Athens” of the South. The remarks of the speaker were practical and pointed, and fre quent applause testified the approbation of his audience. Judge Pope moved that the blank in the above Resolutions be filled by inserting the anm of fifty thousand dollars, and proceeded to state the reasons why that amount should be subscribed. A petition had already been presented to the City Council, asking for that amount, and had been signed by hundreds of citizens; it was important that the amount of the subscription should be not too large, so that the citizens would willingly bear their due proportion, and it was also important that not lees than fifty thousand dollars should be subscribed, as it was very evident that Mercer University would not move for leas than that amount In view of the object to be attained, fifty thousand dot lam was a very small sum. He was in favor of extending aid to Emory College also, if she desired to come. He gave some interesting statistics as to the effect of the subscription in increasing the taxes, and alluded to tire prob able number of students that would attend the Colleges in Atlanta, and the amount of money they would spend per annum. Jifdge Pope discussed the question from a business stand point, keeping in view the material interests of the city. The Rev. Dr. Brandy made a few state ments relative to the endowment of the col lege, its pecuniary condition, its character, and its faculty. IJe refrained front eulogiz- ng the institution, or recommending its re moval, as he was one of its Trustees. Chief Justice Brown addressed the meeting in a few brief and pertinent remarks. He wss in favor of extending liberal aid to in structions of learning, and, in the present in stance be was in favor of subscribing the sum proposed to secure the location of Mercer University. The amount was small, perhaps too small, and the city ought to aid other Colleges properly endowed, in order to bring them to Atlanta. Atlanta should be made a seat of learning as well as of commerce. These Colleges would probably bring one thouesDd students to Atlanta, and those studedts would spend, say $500,000 a year, here in the city. Property would rise in value; wealthy people would come here to reside; the city would offer social, aa well as educational, advan tages, not surpassed by any city in the conn try, and in ten years' time he would venture the prediction that Atlanta would contain a population of 100,000 inhabitant#. The Speak er was greeted with loud applause during the delivery of his remarks. The motion made by Judge Pope, to insert fifty thousand dollars in the reeointion, was carried, and the resolutions nnanimonsly adopted. On motion a Committee of three was ap pointed to present the resolutions to the City Council at their next meeting. Judge Pope was appointed Chairman of the Committee. Dr. E. J. Roach moved that the Mayor and Council be furnished with the proceedings of the meeting. Judge Pope amended the mo tion by suggesting that the Secretary also tar nish the city papers with copies of the pro ceedings. Motion carried. The meeting then adjourned. Truss tbs Daily Sew Era of tbs lttb.) Tnr Fsixxm or Ouixtboufe nr Cotrscn- Quite a number of our most substantial citi zens, including a fur sprinkling of ladies, sembled at the Central Presbyterian Church last night At 9 o'clock L. B. Davis, Esq., called the meeting to order and moved tliAt the Rev. Dr. Wilson he called to tho Chair. The motion wss earned, nnd the Doctor took the Chair, with Major John C. WhitnernsSecretajy. Dr. Wilson said that it was unnecessary to state the object of tho meeting, as everyono knew that it was called for the purpose of ad vancing the interests of Oglethorpe College. He introduced the Hon. E. A. Xeebib Judge Nrxbit then addressed the meeting- After a few prefatory remarks, he gave a brief history of Ogh-tLorpe College, narrating its early straggles as an infant institution nntil it attained a respectable condition among tire colleges of the country, and at last, after a number of years, became distinguiseed for its usefulness. When the war broke out Ogle thorpe was second to no college in the South; it had an average attendance of a hundred and twenty students, its faculty was an excellent one, and it received the support of three Synods, including more then thirty thousand Presbyterians. During the wal tho College was disbanded, and the result of the struggle swept away the wealth of the Institution, With Ihc exception of the buildings at Midway ahd a small amount of funds. Alabama and South Carolina had both conferred endowments upon the College, and there were professors upon those endowments, bnt they also were lost by tho war. The Sonth Carolina endowment was entirely lost, and of the Alabama endowment only a third was saved. Since 18C5, the Trustees had been endeavoring to reconstruct tho college. Bat there were many difficulties in tho way. The Synod ot Georgia declared in favor of disbanding the institution and taming over tho funds to Davidson College, N. C. To this arrangement the Trustees wonld not con sent, and the synod reconsidered its action and aflinned the decision of the Trustees.— Then the question of removal comes up, with all its attendant difficulties. The Florida Synod declared in favor of removing the Col lege to Atlanta; the Synods of Alabama and South Carolina agreed to leave the matter with the Synod of Georgia, and that body decided in favor of the removal to Atlanta. Then the City Conndl of Atlanta donated the Colleges lot of land, and CoL IL C. Holcombe present ed the institution with an elegant site. Bnt, after matnre consideration the Trustees de cided on the purchase of the Neal, Lyons House for tire College. Various rea sons dictated this course. It was a safe in- tment, and the location wonld command local patronagel'^ndge Nesbitt dwelt npon the importance of edneating onr youths with in the influence of family associations, did not believe in sending yonng men to Europe to be educated. Such sn education unfitted them for onr ways of life. The people who expect to live in and rule this country onght to be educated at home. Oglethorpe was a denominational College, bnt there was nothing sectarions abont it Education alone was not the life of liberty, as had been said. Civilization tended with crime. High culture was the patron of infidelity and immorality. In proof of this, look at the great centres of civilization —the modem capitals of the world. Or go back to ancient times, and look at Rome, Athens, Epbesns, Jerusalem and Baby lon in their palmiest days, under the influences ot the highest pagan cnltnre. And to-day, in London and Paris, in the large cities where we find the highest civilization, there, also, do we find the most vise, immorality and infidelity. Bnt ed ucation, with the precepts, commandments and doctrines of Christianity » engrafted npon it, was indeed the “life of liberty T The speaker eonclnded by calling attention to the needs of the College, and appealed to the wealthy men of Atlanta, and the Mayor and Council to aid it as they bad done Mer cer University. The Rev. David Willis, President elect of Oglethorpe College, then addressed the audi ence. Judge Nesbitt had taken the wind out of his sails by discussing the very points which he had intended to use. himself, and nothing was left him bnt the fragments. He alluded to the progress of the age, the wonderful life and activity of Atlanta, which, like the tabled bird of antiquity, decked in emusion and gold, had risen from its ashes, and was soar ing aloft in all its strength and beauty. The ravages of war were being regained; the riven and streams, lately crimsoned with the blood of onr brothers, now resounded with the mnsic of machinery, and the very lightnings of heaven were used by the ingenuity of man in wearing a belt of brightness ronnd the world. Edneation asserted its claims; and made them respected. Oglethorpe asked -for assistance. Her faculty was one of the Kst in the country, and her past history wss a guaranty of the manner in which her fntnro course wonld be directed. To show that there was nothing sectarian about the institution be had only to refer to the put and to the cardinal principles of Presbyterian ism. Oglethorpe had never tried to proselyte any one. Some of the best and most active members of other denominations claimed her as their Atma Haler. The Presbyterian in fluence hod accomplished wonders in the canse of education. The best institutions of learning in Ireland, Scotland and Germany were established by Presbyterians. The same influence bad been equally powerful in this country. The stem Puritans of New Eng land, the sturdy Hollanders of New York, the stout-hearted Irish and Scotch of PeusyIranis and Virginia, and the chivalrous Huguenots of Sonth Carolina, had done yeoman's service for the cause. Howard, Vale, Princeton and other colleges attested the sacoess of their efforts. Princeton wu sn example the non-sectarianism of Presbyterian colleges. Presidents and stab various denominations bad been educated at that institntion, and three of her grad notes were now iu General Grant's Cabinet Doctor Wills referred to a long list of names, eminent u the history of Presbyterianism, which re flected lustre npon the annals of literature and science, and begged the citizens of Atlanta to give their earnest attention to tho impor tance of the object for which they were assem bled, commending agletborpe to their favora ble consideration. Mr. L> B. Davis offered^o resolution ap pointing a Committee of ten gentlemen with CoL L. P. Grant for Chairman, to present petition to the City Council, requesting that body to increase their subscription to Ogle thorpe, to an amount equal to that subscribed to Mercer University. The resolutions were nnanimonsly adopted, and on motion the meeting adjourned. oeorgia Legislature. SENATE. Tuesday, Jniy id, iS7o. Tlie Senate met pursuant to adjournment sit 10 A- M. The Rev. Wesley Prettynmu offered prayer, after which the roll was called aud the jour nal read. SMITH 36th moved to suspend the rules for the purpose of introducing bills. Mr. HARRIS said he had no objection to the motion of Mr. Smith, but he had a reso lution on the table and moved that it be taken 3. Carried. The following is Mr. Harris’ resolution: Whereas, The Treasurer is retaining a large amount of money at 3 per cent, interest as a part of the edncational fond; and 'Whereas, There is no present demand for isbursement on account of school purposes; id Whereas, The State is always constitu tionally indebted to the school fund tlie amounts set Apart for that purpose; and Whereas, It is unwise to loan State money at 3 per cent., and fti the same time borrow' money for State purposes at a higher rate of interest: Be it resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives, That the Treasurer be, and he is hereby authorized and directed to pay all lawful demands upon the Treasurer from any fundi now under his control. A message was received from the House through Mr. Newton, their Clerk, to the effect that the House had concurred in the resolution passed by the Senate to continue the appropriation act until another act had been passed in the ordinary way. Mr. HARRIS, speaking in support of his resolution, said the school fund w*as one of great importance and should not be interferred with nnless for an important object. No one could appreciate the importance of education more than he could. The school fund amounted to something near $200,000, he wished it was $2,000,000, but it was a small start and they ought not to abuse it but pro tect it until it could be used. Bnt ha 1 they a school fund ; could any Senator of his own knowledge say that they had ? Had they any security to show' that.they had a dollar belonging to that fund. If any ot them had he knew of none. Bankers’ certificates of de posit were not securities. H then the school fund was in such a precarious position it was to their interest and their duty to get it permanently secured. They might say that a certain bank had a certain amount in it yesterday, but was it there to-day? At the best, they bad a fund purporting to beHl school fund, drawing 3 per cent, interest, pro ducing but v).<M*»j per annum, while they were borrowing money ot nine *per cent 7 per cent interest and at least 2 per cent in commissions.

He proposed as it were to borrow this money, to place it securely where it could not be tampered with. He would put in its place 7 per cent State bonds. They coaid not be touched and they would yield a handsome profit to the fond, and when the money wanted they could sell the bonds. Was it not better that the fund should draw 7 per cent than 3; and then again the money could not be squandered. It was an impossibility. This was not a party measure. All were in terested in it, the salvation of the country de pended npon the education of tho children, and they would violate their oath to the con stitution if it was not carried out fully. The State could take the money and deposit bonds, and then if they were robbed, they wonld still be safe. They wonld not then depend upon the bonds of individuals. These mo tives had induced him to offer the resolution. Mr. WOOTEN would ask Mr. Harris if he did not think the resolution should originate in the House as any other resolution of appro- priatiou. Mr. HARRIS thought not It was not an appropriation, bnt simply giving direction to a particular fund. Mr. HUKGERFORD opposed the resolntion upon the idea that somebody was trying to get at the funds of the State in an illegal way. M* NUNNALLY thought there was little to be said about the nnconstitutionality of the resolution. If he understood the object of the resolution, it was brought forward so that the Senate could discuss and understand the ques tion. The Committee that had been appointed to enquire into the Treasurer’s matters,— The PRESIDENT interrupted the speaker saying he conld not bring forward a subject that va.i'i li'it 1 - fora the Senate. ilr. NUNNALLY said mat irwas a m with which the public were familiar. There had bean some $187,000 set apart os a school fund, nevertheless it was State money, and no bill had ever been passed authorizing its use. If it was pnt to a definite purpose that would not pre vent the Legislature passing a law that would appropriate the money. Bonds could be deposit ed, and it was to the best interest of the State that it should be done. They conld use these funds instead of pntting bonds on the market and selling them at a depreciated value. They could use the money and better the financial position of the State. He thought it would be wise and good financiering to take the money and use it than to pay eight or ten per cent He was of the opinion that the resolntion ought to originate with the House, as it did appiapriate money, and tit Omditution in quired all appropriations should originate in the House, bat that was no reason why the Senate should not discuss it Mr. WOOTEN proposed the following amendment: “Provided, Thai the Treasurer shall not un der this resolution pay out any money except to the civil lists, and it shall bo his duty to keep a separate and distinct account of all soma paid oat of said educational fund,charg ing the same to tho State. The amount thus drawn or borrowed to bo replaced whenever the same shall be needed for edncational pur poses. In support of the resolntion thus amended Mr. WOOTTEN said some appeared to think that it would conflict with the Constitution. As it bad been explained he did not think scf, bnt did think that the resolution should origi nate with the House. The original resolution made no provision for the return of funds thus borrowed. They could not use any funds ap propriated for another purpose, bnt he thought that with the amendment these funds could be used for defraying the expenses of the Government, as it wonld still be kept as a separate fond. Without funds to pay off the civil list the Government conld not exist. It was necessary that money should be raised. The ordinary mode would be by loan or selling bonds. It hod been shown that by this coarse they wonld lose money. Here was a fund of some $175,000 and they might take it as a loan; there was no present necessity for using it; it might slumber for years. They had no demand for it, and had adopted no system for its use. It was lying idle and yielding very little. The purposes for which it was intend ed were dear to all, bnt until some measures were taken to use it there was no need of such a snm lying dormant; bathe thought its use should be restricted to the civil list If they went to borrow money it would cost seven, eight or nine per cent, aud by using this money they would effect an actual saving to the Sate. Mr. CAMPBELL made a few suggestions as to finding out the actual amount that was cred ited to the fund, and the amount that actually should be there, after which, Mr. DUNNING said he regretted that the Senate were acting without necessary informa tion. He would have preferred postponing the question nntil the Committee, who had been appointed to iuquire into the affairs of tho Treasurer, had made Ihejr report—nntil that report was made they conld not act dis creetly. He conld not vote for the resolution in its present shape, and would suggest “that it lie on the table until that report was made. Education was one of the most important questions of the day, and he thought they wero not doing their duty by neglecting it from day to day, and the)' ought to meet the question this session; there should not bo an hour of unnecessary delay. He moved to re fer the matter to the Finance Committee. After some remarks from jMr JHARRIS and Mr. SMITH, of the 7th, the matter was re ferred to the Finance Committee, and the Senate, on motion of Mr. SPEER, adjonrned nntil to-morrow at 10 o’dook.

The Rev. Wesley Prettyman offered prayer, the roll was called and the journal of the pre vious day read. The Senate amused itself and the specfeitors for some time, with ;i resolntion from Mr. Speer, referring to the location of the State CapitoL On motion the subject was laid on the table. Mr. WOOTEN offered a resolution that the Senate standing Committee on the State "Li brary be considered as a joint committee with that of the House, to take charge of all affairs of the Library and make expenditures, Ac. Adopted. -£ Mr. HARRIS moved a joint resolntion fora Committee of three from the Senate and five from the House, to wait npon and confer with his Excellency the Governor, and Gen. Terry, and decide what can be done in regard to leg islation, in the event that Congress takes^no action on the Georgia question, and report on Monday next, After a few remarks on the res olution. Mr. NUNNALLY thought the proper course wonld bo for them to go on and labor for the good of the country without consul ting tHe Governor or General Terry. If Gen. Terry did not approve of their work he could BtojTtt. He would support a motion to proceed. Mr. HARRIS said he was satisfied that they would be permitted to go on and legislate, bnt discussions wonld come np and it would be nec essary for them to know wlrnt coarse General Terry wonld approve ot Monday would be tho earliest day on which the committee conld report, as Congress did not adjourn until Fri Mr. HOLCOMBE thonght they had b wait until Friday and see what Con) wonld do. Mr. WOOTEN opposed the resolntion. Mr. HIGBEE advised adjournment, or (hut they should occupy their time in receiving re ports of committees. Mr. TRAYWICK moved to lay the whole matter on the table. Carried. Mr. HIGBEE moved to inquire if the com mittees appointed were ready to report Mr. HARRIS said the Committee on the Treasurer’s affairs wonld be ready to report on M MnC*OLllAN t said the report of the Rail road Committee was ready to report, bnt out of courtesy to the Chairman, Mr. Brock, who was absent, the report had not been presented. He wonld, in all probability be here to-day. On motion of Mr. SPEER, the Hon. S. F. Gove, CoL W. C. Morrell and General Kyrzy- anowski were invited to seats on the floor of the Senate. Mr. SPEER moved to suspend the rules for the introduction of bills. Carried. A quantity of bills were read a first time, among which were the following ; for *udi in^trutUoiis; by Mon^rty they cauld in to tbs School Fund *-t3 referred to know nnd have future trouble He hoped | the Finance Committee, notation would pass without debat Mr. NUNNALLY thonght that this resolu tion had been finally disposed of yesterday. But whether or not, the action of the Senate yesterday, by p resen ting bills aud commencing legislation, virtually destroyed its effect, and made it unnecessary now to pass it. If it passed it would cause a great delay in legisla tion, and if they adjourned over until Monday they would be in no better fix. The question really was whether they should go on with leg islation for the good of the country, or go and bow around to some one and ask them to dic tate to them when they had no right to say what they could or could not do. It was too late to talk of courtesy. Yesterday, by the intro duction of bills, they bad commenced work, and be trusted they would go on with it He moved to lay th8 motirn on tho table. Car ried. On motion of Mr. SPEER, the regular order of .business was commenced nnd tho following bills read a first lime. By Mr. DICKEY, to furnish State aid to the Morgaustown Railroad. By Mr. WELLBORN, to reduce the per diem of members of the Legislature to $6 00 per day and the President and Secretaries to $10 00 per day. By ilr. MERRELL, to increase the jurisdic tion of County Criminal Courts in tho State. To complete the Savannah, Griffin and North Alabama Railroad with State aid. To incorporate a street railroad company in Rome. By Mr. SMITH, 3Gth, to prohibit freight trains from running on Sunday, in any part of the State. By Mr. DUNNING, to incorporate the Dol- Bv Mr. CAMPBELL, to provide for* ttayr- gomzatfon and arming ot volunteer compa nies.

By Mr. HUNGERFORD, to allow tbe State Rood to run freight trains on Sunday. By Mr. SPEER, to regulate tlie rate of in terest. By Mr. MERRELL, to amend the charter of the Savannah, Griffin and North Alabama Railroad. The call of districts being concluded the Senate adjourned until to-morrow at 10, a. m. Thursday, July 14, 1870. The Senate met pursuant to adjournment, and was called to order by tbe President at 10 o’clock. Prayer was offered by the Rev. Wesley I*ret- tyman. The toll was called, and the journal read and approved. Mr. MERRELL moved is reconsider so much of the journal of yesterday us referred to a joint committee on the State Library. Such committee was authorized to superintend the disbursement of moneys appropriated for the State Library. It would be a joint stand ing committee, and it would probably be nec essary for them to meet and sit daring recess, to enable them to perform the duties prescribed by the reeointion, Jt was a question of econ, oray. In all probability the joint committee would consist of eighteen members. Tbe appropriation bill was generally the Lost considered and passed in the session. The committee consequently wonld not know what the appropriation would be imtil the end of the session, and they wonld then have to ascertain deficiencies and say what should be done with the money appropriated. This was a duty which heretofore had been done-by the Governor, who directed tho State Librarian in the outlay of tho funds. The committee, coming from all quarters of tho State, must necessarily be less acquainted with the wants and requirements of the State Libra ry than the-Governor. If he (Mr. Merrell,) a member of the Library Committee, waffled a good tittle job, he thought the passage of the resolution would give him a very nice berth, but did tho Senate wish to authorize such au expenditure. He moved to reconsider because be thought the legal, reasonable, and rational construction oi the resolntion was as he' had - t: 11. . 1. Mr. WOOTEN thought that the Senator did not quite understand the resolution. The Committee was a standing committee dt the Senate, and had no power to act when the Legislature was not in session. His object in introducing the resolntion was to make the House and Senate Committees act in concert. As now constituted, they might act indepen dently and clash with one Another. It was desirable to have concerted action that the money t lint might be appropriated should be ex pended to the best advantage. The commit tee would not trouble the Governor or the State Librarian, nor conld it sit in vacation, lie moved to lay the motion to reconsider on the table. Mr. HARRIS thonght that the resolution did admit of the abases spoken of by Mr. Merrell, and supported the motion to recou- eider. / Mr. SMITH, of the 7th, supported th< ; mo tion to reconsider, which motion was put and carried. Mr. CANDLER moved to refer the isola tion to the Judiciary Committee. The wary should be fostered and encouraged in every possible way, and the Library Committee should consult with the Librarian os to the best means of disbursing the appropriition. After some farther discussion in which Mr. DUNNING, Mr. WOOTEN, Mr. SPEER, and others took part, the whole matter was liid on the table. On motion of Mr. COLMAN. OoJ. Qopld, of Savannah, was tendered a seat on the floor of tbe Hon.se. Mr. HARRIS moved 'to take up the resolu tion laid on the table yesterday asking tfiat a Committee bo appointed to wait on tbe Gov ernor and General Terry and ask for imbue- tions with regard to legislation. He hadgiven way yesterday because bo understood that several members wished to introduce bills and tbero appeared to be an impression that this motion would retard legislation, he had no in tention of doing so bat he thought it advis able to get some instructions as to what they could or could not do, as questions wonld be certain to arise when they would have to ask lar Savings Bank of Atlanta. By Mr. RICHARDSON, to qijhm streets and alleys in Dawsonville. Mr. CANDLER objected that the bills were not read in full as required by the Constitu tion. A discussion ensued between Messrs. CAN DLER, SPEER, HARRIS, HOLCOMB, and BURNS, on the subject, and tbe bills were or dered by the PRESIDENT to be read in full and the reading was proceeded with. By Mr SPEER, to incorporate the Bank of tho Interior, Macon.

The JEIou.se met pursuant to adjournment, and was called to order at 10 a. xr., by Speak er McWHORTER. Prayer was offered by Rev. Mr. Cload. On motion of Air. DaYIS, the calling of tbe roll was dispensed with. The Clerk read the journal of yesterday’s proceedings. Mr. ARMSTRONG offered a resolution tendering a seat on the floor to Rev. Dr. Wil- ** t. Adopted. Air. DARNELL moved to call up his reso lution in regard to changing the rules for the government of the House. A motion to suspend the rules iu order to take up his resolution was lost Mr. Belcher’s resolntion to pay clerks employed in the convention, was taken up and referred to the Finance Committee. Air. Darnell’s resolution to change the 19 th rule was put before the House. Mr. ANDERSON opposed the resolution because tbe House is well acquainted with Jeff erson’s Manual, and that the said Manual is sufficient for all practical purposes. Mr. DARNELL said that Cushing’s Alanual is used by the Senate, and that both houses shonld be governed by the same rules. Air. DARNELL withdrew his motion on oinnging tho 19th Rule. Another motion was made by the same mem ber adding a danse to the 16th Rule, allowing a motion.to reconsider to be made immediately. Mr. SHUMATE said that he was opposed to was *o money. the Treasury, etc. Mr. SHUMATE advocated the reoonsidem tion of the resolution. He stated that there* was properly no school fund now, although there are about two hundred aud twenty thousand dollars due by the State to the Edu cational Fund. He stated that there are about one hundred and fifty thousand dollars de posited in the Atlanta National Bank at three per cent, and twenty thousand dollars in the Georgia Railroad and Banking Company; that there is no impropriety in applying this money to other purposes. Our Judges, etc., must be paid, and no one will doubt but that this Legislature will raise money for current expenses. Hence, where is the wisdom of lending at three per cent, and borrowing at ten per cent Air. LANE stated that he had not moved fbr the laying of the resolntion on the tattle for the purpose of destroying it, but that be did not think that the time for acting on it had ar rived. _ He advocated referring the question of money to the Finance Committee. Air. SIAIAIS said that lie was glad to see so much interest manifested in regard to tl*i*Jund, that the General Assembly seems alive to the importance of education; that he was in favor of reconsidering the action of yesterday in regard to this resolution; that the State is the proper custodian of the money and that she conld use it and be responsible therefor. Mr. SCOTT stated that there were constitu tional provisions saying that certain taxes should be used for educational purposes, that members had sworn to carry out the provisions of the Constitution; that this money cannot be appropriated by resolution. Air, SCOTT asked how does the House know that there is need of money. There had been no official communication of tbe fact— that he had heard a gentleman on the other side say that they would reconsider because they could not get their pay unless from this source. He asked the appropriation hod not been made large enough at first. Why take this fund to pay members for doing nothing. '•> Mr. RICE advocated the postponement of the consideration of this resolntion—that there was need for mature deliberation—that now at tho very commencement of the session without any information on such subjects the Legislature is plunged into the money question—that they had been away two months and now they find but about two thousand dollars in the Treasury, and he thonght it might be possible that those who had been on committees were those who favor the move Air. SHUMATE interrupted Mr. Rice and said that the ospertion was false. Mr. RICE replied, that it was only a surmise on his part Mr. HARPER advocated the resolution as a financial matter. That the Government must be supported whether by general or special tax. Ho said that there is no school system aud that the money is lying up at a very small interest. Air. O’NEAL, of Lowndes, said that this is an extraordinary Legislature, and this is an extraordinary resolution—that he had stated at the organization of this House that it wi not under the said Constitution and Code that Georgia is in a provisional state, and that the Legislature operates only by permission of Congress and General Terry. Air. SCOTT asked if, not under the Con stitution and Code under what authority this school fund was set aside. Air. O’NEAL replied that the fund has not been set aside. Air. SCOTT asked if there is no school fund, whence the sense of the resolution. Mr. O’NEAL replied that the people and the Legislature had become accustomed to call this money, which should have been set aside, the “school fundthat the Constitution of Georgia is qeld in abeyance by Congress and General Terry," qnd th^t he had no idea that any of those persons would object to tho action of this body in the premises. If this money is taken it will be charged that the Legislature took it os per diem. Mr. TURNER moved to amend by saying that “we shall not be paid out of it.” A{r. O’NEAL said that the whole matter should be disposed of by the adjournment of this body until Congress acts concerning Geor gia. Mr. O’NEAL read from the Comptroller General’s Report, certain clauses showing that tho fault of not separating the poll-tax from the general tax was that of the Tax-Col lectors. Mr. HOOKS called the previous question. Upon a call of the yeas and nays the call was sustained. On motion of Mr. SCROGGINS Air. N. B. Wilkinson was invited to take a seat on the floor. On motion of Air. SHUAIATE the resolution innovations on established rules unless there be a good reason therefor. He said that the House would always be better prepared for re consideration on the following day. Mr. TWEEDY agreed with the gentleman from Whitfield, and offered a substitute which wonld not allow a man who has voted in the minority to move for a reconsideration. ■■■ Mr. DUNCAN moved to lay the whole mat ter on the table. Adopted. On motion of Air. JOHNSON, Gen. Kvzy- znowski was tendered a seat on the floor of the House. Mr. BETHUNE moved for the appoint ment of a joint committee of five from the House and three from the Senate to confer with the Governor and General Terry and de cide what can be doue in regard to legisla tion in the event that Congress takes no action on the Georgia question. Air. O’NEAL of Lowndes, offered an amend ment saying, that it is probable that Congress will adjourn, etc., which amendment was ac cepted. Mr. LANE said that he did not believe that the Governor and Gen. Terry would advise on the question two days before the adjournment of Congress. Mr. BETHUNE said that it became this body to prepare lor work; and if Congress should act tiiere would be no harm done by this resolution. Air. ANDERSON opposed the resolution on the ground that the House had no authority to legislate without Congressional interference— that General Terry had virtually ao deci ded—that he was opposed to annoying the Governor and General Terry with this matter, and that if Congress does net the House will be iulormed of it Mr. O’NEAL, of Lowndes, moved to adjourn until Friday next Mr. SCOTT moved to amend by saying that with the concurrence of the Senate unti August Mr. DARNELL moved to lay Air. Scott’s resolution on tho table. Carried. Mr. O’Neal’s motion to adjourn until Friday 12 u., was lost Mr. FITZPATRICK moved to adjourn until 10 o’clock a. xi., to-morrow.

HALL of Meriwether moved to invite Colonel Randolph Motte to a seat on the floor. Adopted. Air. O’NEAL of Lowndes moved for the adoption of Air. Bethnne’s resolntion relative to the appointment of a committee to confer with the Governor, etc. Mr. O’Neal, in sup port of his motion, said that from the tele grams this morning it seems doubtful whether or not Congress will take any definite action on the Georgia question—that it is proper to consult with General Terry, as the Legislature must act by bis permission, and that he (Air. O’Nael) could see no reason why bills should not now be introduced. Air. SHUMATE said that a resolution of this kind must be concurred iu by tbe Senate and that the Senate had already gone into legislation. Air. SHUAIATE ooneludad his remarks l>y moving to lay the resolntion on tbe ta ble, .which motion was carried. Air. FITZPATRICK offered a bill allowing tbe fiictors’ lien to be enforced as mortgages on personal property. Also a bill to add an additionrl section to the Penal Code of this State.

ANDERSON of CSWlmcred a resolu tion inquiring into the State Printing. Air. CLEGHORN introduced a bill entitled an act to incorporate the North Georgia and Tennessee Railroad Company. Pending the reading of the Militia Bill, Air SHUMATE rose to a point of order and _id that os there is a law ot Congress prohib iting the calling ont of the militia, the pres ent bill is inoportune, Ac.

Whereas, it is the chief object of every free government to confer upon all its people the largest enjoyment of political liberty, and to impose as few restraints os possible npon those under tbe protection of the. laws; and Whereas, the unhappy war that lately raged in our midst has now ended, leaving the union of these States more firmly established than ever before, while perfect tranquility exists throughout the whole extent of our country, affording an opportunity for tho display of a magnanimity as wise as it is noble on the part of those who control the government; and Whereas, it is inconsistent with the princi ples of our political system and the character of our people to administer the government upon the theory of resentment: Be it resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives, that in onr judgment the time has come for the restoration of liannony iu tho relations of our whole, people to their Gov ernment and to each other, aud to exhibit to the world the spectacle of a Great Republic free, powerful, and prosperous. 2. That as measures have been adopted to secure, throughout the couutry, universal suf frage, there should accompany this policy universal amnesty. 3. That we earnestly desire to see the Con gress of the United States adopt measures promptly for the removal of the political disa bilities of the people of Georgia, and for the restoration to every citizen, without exception, the full enjoyment of every privilege under onr Government • 4.

Ayer’s Hair Vigor, For restoring Gray Hair to its natural Vitality and Color. A dressing which is at onoe agreeable, healthy, and effectual for preserving the hair. Faded or gray hair is soon restored to its original color, with the gloss and freshness of youth. Thin hair is thick ened, falling hair checked, aud bald ness often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can restore the hair where the follicles are destroyed, or tho glands atrophied and decayed. But such as remain can bo saved ■ for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling tho hair with a pasty sedi ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hnir from turning gray or falling off, and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dangerous, and injurious to tho hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it If wanted merely for a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can bo found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it docs not soil white cambric, and yet lasts long on tho hair, giving it a rich, glossy lustra and a grateful perfume. Prepared by Dr. J. C.

Leucorrhcea. or tbe “Whites,” fre quently drains the system, or ulceration of the womb may create pain and cause rapid prostration. * Falling of the womb ia an exceedingly common com plaint, giving much trouble and distress, which, un- ivmedlol agents that will come to her rescue ? We ■ ENGLISH FEMALE BITTERS, The only acknowledged Uterine Tonic and Female Reg ulator known, will cure all those complaints above mentioned in on incredibly short time. The Bitters at once arouses, strengthens and restores the womb to its natural condition, removing obstructions, relieving pain and regulating tbe monthly period. Youder stands a palejweeblo and languid girl, just bursting into womanhood; she is the pride or all, but hark! she silently steals a pickle, cats chalk, or a slate £eocil; no appetite for food; she tarns with a dull eye and seeks solitude; ber eye no longer sparkles; her merry laugh ia no longer beard ringing through the air; she mopes about with bloodless lips and gums, with head ache. palpitation, constipation, swimming of the head, cold teetand hands, melancholy; she has a coated tongue, offensive breath, and a hoot of other evils too numerous to mention. When neglected all these symptoms become aggrava ted, there ia sick stomach, heartburn, a dark line set ties nnder the^yes. the legs and ankles ore swollen, tho hair loses its gloss and falls off, there is brittleness and splitting of the finger-nails, swollen abdomen, extreme nervousness, frctfulness, pains and aches, dry cough. Hysterical Fits, rapid prostration, epilepsy and death! If you. or any of your friends, are thus afflicted, send at onoe for a bottle of English Female Bitters and be cured. Its effects are magical in such complaints.— Surely no mother will postpone and delay this duty until DEATH IS AT THE DOOR. In all these complaints the system evidently shows a wont of red blood, aud Mr. Churchill, in his work on Diseases of Females, says: “Bearing In mind that the blood is remarkably deficient in red corpuscles, and the known property of iron to correct this condition, theo ry suggests it as the most to be relied on. the best of which is Citrate." Citrate of Iron enters largely into the composition of English Female Bitters, combined with powerful vegetable tonics of rare qualities. Among the mountains of Tennessee and the piney- woods of Mississippi, is found a certain hard and flin ty root, which baa been in secret use by aome old mid wives for many years, possessing magic powers in reg ulating and restoring all females suffering with any af fection of tbe womb This root we have obtained, gave it a fair test in our practice and it ia now one ot the principal ingredients in these Bitters. Other pow erful uterine and general tonics also enter into its com position. We also add Lcptandra or Black root, suffi cient to act upon tbe liver and keep tbe bowels open. BLOOMING YOUNG GIRLS, Middle-aged lustrous, those at the critical period, aud the aged grandmother, are ail cured by the use of oar English Female Bitters, now prescribed and used by physicians all over the country. If you are troubled with Falling of the Womb, at tended with a sense of weight and bearing down paiw in the back and side, and other attendant evils. Eng lish Female Bitters will give entire relief. Those at the “turn of life,” mothers after confine ment, and all others (mole or female) who lcscents from any protracted or debilitating complaint, who gain strength slowly, aud whose digestion is alow. and imperfect, will find these Bitters the very thing' their system demands.
