Mr. BRADLEY thought it unconstitutional to make any appropriation for services ren dered in 1863. Mr. SPEER took the same ground, and in troduced another resolution that ail ’ should bo paid up to date. Mr. HARRIS said this was a caso of doubt, he was not the committee, but merely its rep- ieNotittn, tt9 guarded tho resolution to the best of their ability, and they would bo adjudicated on and scaled before navmcnt. Mr. mNTON&TOred recommittal. If the resolution passed in its present shape it would open the door to disputes botwoen the Gover nor, Comptroller and Treasurer. Mr. WELLBORN argued for recommittal. Mr. HOLCOMBE stud that supposing the claims were just, then the appropriation should have originated in the other house. Ho moved to indefinitely postpone the entire subject. Mr. GRIFFIN 21st roared the previous quea- Mr. HINTON hoped it would not be sm tained as bo bad important evidence to Offer. Mr. GRIFFIN withdrew his motion. Mr. HINTON then proceeded to deHvor a lengthy argument to show why tho question should not do postponed. He read opinions of Chief Justice Brown and Mr. J nation Ho- Coy aa to the legality of tho claims. Mr. HUNGERFORD handed the two physi- dana' bills to the Clerk and they were read, after which he called the previous question, which was ordered, and the yeas and nays de manded, and were yeas 24, nays 10. So the whole subject was indefinitely post poned. Mr. HINTON gave notice of reconsideration. A bill to allow tho Mayor and Council of Marietta to levy a tax for the benefit of the Fe male College of Marietta, was read a third Mr. BRADLEY said If tho city was taxed, it should admit all, and moke no exception os to color. If oolored persons were taxed to support the school they should be allowed the advantages of the school, at a clause should bo introduced exempting them from taxation for the pnrpaee. Mr. DUNNING said the colored people had heM a meeting and had passed resolutions in favor of the bill. A message was received from the Honse through Mr. Newton their Clerk announcing the pamngo of several bills and asking tho con- enrrenco of tho Senate. Mr. DUNNING eonUnned and signed for stepping all the class of feelings existing such os had been spoken of by Mr. Bradley. It may be technically right but the principle won wrong. Mr. CAMPBELL said as be hod been in structed that it was popular with his people in Marietta he would support the bill He was not in favor of itbntas they desired it he would support it. The previous question was demanded and the bill passed without a dissenting voice and was transmitted forthwith. A bill introduced by Mr. Speer to regu late the rote of interest In the Stato was then token up providing that interest should not be paid or receive ovor 7 per cent. except where there was a written contract otherwise. The Finance Committee reported favorably. Mr. WELLBORN moved to disagree with the report. A messago was received from the House through Mr. Newton, their clerk, announcing the passage of several Senate bills. Mr. WELLBORN mado a lengthy argument against the biB. Ho thought that it would para lyse trade, as everyone who bad money would loan it instead of building fir entering into manufactories and go to money lending. Mr, SPEER urged the passage of hw reso lution, and oaUed the previous question. Mr. HARRIS argued against the previous question, and offered on amendment to the effect that no interest above 10 per cent shall be paid under any circumstances. Messrs. BRADLEY, SHERMAN and HOL- A message was received from his Excellency tho Gotemor, anrounrng that he bad sign d the act amending tho charter of the Dolton and Morgan ton Railroad. Tho motion to reconsider was laid on the tabic. A messago was received from tho House, through Mr. Newton, their clerk, announcing the passage of several bills and asking concur rence. The reconsideration rf the bill of Mr. Speer on interest was then taken up, Mr. FAIN taking the floor. It was with money as with products, as the amount in creased the market price would decrease. The men who made most money paid more than coven per cent for money. The passage of the bill would have a tendency to reduce in terest. The restrictions now of tho laws would keep capital ontof Georgia. Mr. HOLCOMBE opposed reconsideration, capitalists would go where there was most canty, not where the highest interest could bo obtained. The course pursued of repu diating debts here wonld have more effect of driving away capitalists, than this bill wonld do to bring them hero. It wonld have the tendency of making men nsners rather than speculators. They wonld loon money on in terest and gouge their neighbor rather than go into legitimate business. It would suit the cotton speculator tat not the body of the peo ple, the planter and agriculturist. It wonld make the rich man richer and tho poor man poorer. Ho moved to lay the motion to re consider on the table. The motion did rot prevail. Mr. NUNN ALLY supported reconsideration. The money of tho State went to the banks, men loaned it to them at 14 per cent per month and they got 2} per month from tho fanner and took hens and mortgages upon his little crops. It wss tho interest of the banks that this bill should pan. It wonld keep the cap ital in these bonks. Mr. SPEER moved the previous question, which was ordered. The main question was ordered by 23 to 9. Mr. SHERMAN offered an amendment to restrict tho interest to 18 per cent per annum. A messago was received from the House through Mr. Newton, their clerk, announcing the passage of the Grand Trunk Railroad bill, Mr. SHERMAN spoke of the effect of an unlimited percentage in Illinois. Ho thought 12 per cent, would be the avenge that would be demanded. He represented two classes of persons, some wealthy men in the northeast, who wanted to loan mousy, and his constitu ents who wanted to borrow. He wonld make compromise on 14 cents per month. Mr. HARRIS thought the bill would bring tho greatest enrse that coaid be brought to Georgia. By the bill a man, a landlord, oonld squeeze out of a poor tenant 100 per cent or G00 per eent and the law wonld justify it Bankers would not loan to poor farmers. They would be mode slaves worse than it was be fore tho war; they would be slaves to the cap italist and the money lender. Mr. MERRILL supported the bill. He sold, now tradesmen charged GO per cent and more for goods sold on credit He reviewed tho usury laws from the first A man who plead usury was always looked upon with disfavor foe not complying with his contract He oaUed the previous question. Mr. BRADLEY opposed the previous ques tion. Mr. TBAYWICK also opposed it; be want ed the first section stricken out and everybody placed ou the ism. footing. Mr. HINTON opposed the previous ques tion. Tho main question was ordered. Mr. SHERMAN'S amendment woo, on divis ion, lost Mr. HARRIS’ amendment was lost by 17 to 20, os follows: Yin-Wears. Bowers, Bradley, Bruton, Burns, Campbell, Corbitt Crayton, Dickey, Griffin, (6th,) Harris, Henry, Hinton, Hol- ibe, Matthews, ~ valuation, rather than tho proposition for ab solute purchase, and in my opinion seven per cent. per annum wonld be a rate that would prove largely advantageous to the State, and at the samo time, resonablc remunerative to the owners of (ho StBt'admi. . Authority having been granted by a previous L< gi..latiir,-, for the construction of a road running almost parallel to tho road between Borne and Dalton, and that road having been completed, the section of the State's rood be tween Dalton and Kingston will bo entirely deprived of tho sonthwestern traffic and travel, unless wo eon protect it by controlling tho read between Kingston and Rome. It i» also necessary that the State should be in a posi tion to control the extension of the road west of Rome, so that it may bo mads to reach the valuable deposits of iron, coal, etc., and, at the same time prevent its being extended to a connection with the Memphis and Chari enton Road in Alabama, until it ahull be for tho best interest of the State to bring freight in that direction instead of over their present line via Chattanooga. I respectfully invite the attention of your honorable body to this subject, feeling as- sored that yonr wisdom will point ont the proper ooarse to be pursued. Rmrus B. Bullock.

Prayer by Rev. Dr. Brantly. Tbe journal of yesterday’s proceedings was read. Mr. BELCHER offered a resolation that Whereas, This Legislature is characterized by fanaticism on railroad matters; and Whereas, There is no more territory for the construction of railroads, therefore be it Resolved, That wo ask the United States Government for permission to construct rail roads in Alaska, and that we be allowed to ex tend State aid to tbe some.

The case of Mr. Stone, charged with bribery, was taken np and the evidence read. Mr. BRYANT offered a resolution dismiss ing tho charges against him, as there was not sufficient evidence against the accused. Ho argued that considerable pressure bad been brought against Stone to make him vote for prolongation—that all political parties use their influence to make their members vote as caucuses determine. In defiance of all this Stone voted against it and displayed moral Mr. SCOTT gave notice that he wonld move for a reconsideration of tho action of this House in passing a resolution instructing the President of the Senate and Speaker of the Honse, to keep back all Railroad bills until all bills of a like nature hod been acted on by this House. All these motions to reconsider were nullified by the Speaker’s ruling on Mr. Scott's appeal. Hie bill to incorporate the Lookout Moan- tain Railroad was read the third time. Mr. SCOTT opposed the bill on tbe ground that the proposed road would ran within eight miles of the road from Rome to Kingston, and wonld pass over the samo territory as other roads already built or incorporated. Mr. HALL, of Glynn, advocated tho bill and said that it did not behoove the gentle man from Floyd to oppose these measures when his own city bod received so many priv ileges from this Legislature. Mr. O’NEAL, of Lowndes, said that he had set ont some time ago to fight Slate aid, bat that ho hod been forced to Call bock from bis position. Now he wants all these bills to go to the Governor, and wanted this one to stand a chance with the others. Perhaps his Excel' lency might prefer it to some of the others in the same section. Mr. O’NEAL called the previous question which was sustained, and the bill was passed and ordered transmitted to the Senate. The bill to open and construct a railroad from Athens to Clayton, Georgia, was read the third time and passed. The bill to incorporate the Chattahoochee Air-Line Railroad was read a third time and The report of the committee on tho bill to incorporate and grant State aid to tbe Griffin, Honticello and Madison Railroad Company, was, on motion of Mr. Williams of Morgan, laid on tbe table, and the Senate bill on the same subject, on its third reading was ta ken np. Mr. TURNER said that os tbe Georgia Road bad agreed to bock tho enterprise, there coaid be no use for granting State aid. That the State has endorsed railroads to the amount of about forty millions, and be feared her credit wonld be impaired at borne and abroad. Mr. RICE moved to reduce the amount of Slate aid, Mr. WILLIAMS called tho previous ques tion on the adoption of the original bill, which coll was sustained and tho bill was Mr. FITZPATRICK gave notico that he wonld move to-morrow for a reconsideration of the action on this bill. The SPEAKER announced that the ap pointed hour Ji»d arrived for taking up the charges of bribery against Messrs. Atkins and Stone. Mr. DARNELL moved to postpone tho con sideration of the question until after the con clusion of the action on raitroad bills, which motion prevailed. Mr. O’NEAL, of Baldwin, offered a resolu tion expelling Mr. Stone. Mr. JOHNSON, of Spalding, offered a reso lation dismissing the charges against Messrs. Stone and Atkins respectively. Mr. BRYANT continued, and remarked that he believed all the members voted con scientiously, but that those who were against the measure known as prolongation, thought that Stone having voted against the measure, ought to have a testimonial of respect, and they give him a watch os such, and that noth ing was said about this watch until after tho vote in question. Mr. TURNER said that he was one of those who favored prolongation, bat that he did not censure Mr. Stone; that he is sorry to say that tho Republican party does not stick togeth er as it should; sometimes white Republicans ge astray and why shonld a colored man be more censored. Mr. Stone had said to him that his people wanted him to vote against this measure, for some of them wanted him to go borne and giro them a chance, and that ho was conscientious in his vote. Mr. TURNER called the previous question on the adoption of Mr. Johnson's resolation to dismian the charges of bribery against Mr. Stone. On the motion to adopt the resolation the yeas and nays were demanded with the follow ing result—yeas 100, nays 10. Mr. Atkins’ cose was token up. Mr. TURNER moved to rule out the evi dence in relation to money paid Mr. Atkins to secure his vote for Joseph E. Brown for U. S. Senator. Mr. LEE said that he believed Mr. Turner’s point well taken, os this Committee was ap pointed to investigate the cose so far os pro- longation was concerned. Mr. O’NEAL, of Lownds, remarked that the reorganization of this House does not preclude this House from investigating the conduct of a member before said reorganization—that the resolation under which this committee was appointed, gives power to this committee to go back and investigate all tho acts of these two members, as for back as 1868. Neither Congress, the Governor nor the Courts, have decided that this Legislature was not a de facto Legislature, competent to enact laws, and the reorganization will not protect Mr. Atkins from the penalty of bribery—Atkins himself says that he was & member of tbi. Legislature in 1868, and can be now shield himself from acta done by him while ho was such, and that the Speaker of this Honse does not stand os a Judge over a criminal case because this man is not upon a criminal charge, and these tech nical objections do not properly come up in this issue, but the whole matter should go before tho House. Mr. BETHUNE argued that the election at which Mr. Atkins vote was said to have been bought was illegal, and consequently tho vote was a nullity. Mr. SIMMS said that there is a particular fea ture in this case, to-wit: That this is the first time in 240 years that a negro bought a white man, for in this case a negro was the person who paid the 300 dollars for the white man’s vote. The SPEAKER ruled that it is competent for this Honse to act on the case of Mr. At kins including his conduct in the election for Senator to the United States Congress in 1868. Mr. FITZPATRICK Offered a resolution ex pelling Mr. Atkins without back pay or mile age. Mr. BELCHER moved to striko the words “back pay or mileage.’’ Mr. TURNER moved to allow Mr. Atkins until 11 jl x. to-morrow to prepare bis de fense, which motion prevailed. Several of tho standing committees submit ted reports. TncnsDAY, September 1,1870. House met pursuant to adjournment. Prayer by Rev. Dr. Brantley. Journal of yesterday was read.

He also re commends that the act bo amended so as to allow on annual appropriation for the samo of ten thousand dollars. The special order of tho day, to wit: A resolution in relation to back pay of mem bers seated in place of those declared in eligible, was taken up. Mr. BETHUNE advocated the resolation, and remarked that these members ore legally entitled to their pay; they were ready to take their scats in 1868, but were kept out by a misconstruction of the law. Mr. SHUMATE moved to refer the resolu tion to the Finance Committee, which motion was withdrawn. Mr. TWEEDY favored the passage of the resolation, and said that all precedent re quires that these members bo paid. Mr. PORTER said that this is not a party question, and that Democrats os well as Re publicans are interested in this question; that he colored members had been paid, and he wants the others paid, who are equally en titled to their money. Mr. TURNER said that these members arc entitled to their pay because they were kept ont by no fault of their own, and if other men got pay illegally, they should be made to dis gorge it Mr. HARPER of Terrell offered the resolu tion, and said that Congress had never given back pay beyond a session; that the members who were elected were turned out by tho military, and these members were seated unexpectedly, called up here and con scripted into the Legislature. These coses are not similar to tho cases of the colored mem bers elected and put back by authority of Congress. Mr. ARMSTRONG said he is one of those interested, and that he was hero in 1868, knockingat the door of this House with a just and good claim to his seat, and that as a legal proposition, there is no difference between the cases of these members and the colored members, for it was declared in the act of Congress that no persons ineligible should hold seats in the Provisional Legislature, and said eligibility was determined by the 14th amendment to the Constitution of the United States. All that the members interested ask for is that the House follow precedent and S ' ve them justice. He argued that votes cast r ineligible persons were nullities, and those candidates who opposed them were legaiy elected and entitled to ah the rights, Ac., of members, Ac. Mr. O'NEAL, of Lowndes, remarked that the House has decided that the members in question were entitled to their seats; that those who received the highest number of votes were ineligible, and the votes cast for them were mere blanks, consequently their oppo nents received the highest number of legal votes; that Congress has recognized this as the first and only legal Legislature, and that body had reference to tho adoption of the 14th and 15th amendments in that decision; and these members were seated upon the idea that they were entitled so their geests on the 4th of July, 1870, and it follows, as a matter of coarse, if they were entitled to their scats they were en titled to their pay. On the same principle the colored members were paid, and this resola tion is a mere formality. Mr. FITZPATRICK called the previous question, which call was sostainod. Mr. SCOTT raised tho point of order that members who prefer claims against the State are not entitled to vote. The SPEAKER ruled that the point was not well taken. _On the motion to adopt, the yeas and nays were demanded with tho following result: Yeas 53, nays 52. So the resolation was adopted. The ease of Mr. Atkina was resumed. Mr. HARPER of Terrell said that this is a grave question, and should be carefully con sidered before a fellow man is consigned to in famy. This ease has come np as the present ment of a grand jury, and if there is any donbt about guilt, let Mr. Atkins have the ben efit of that donbt. That ho believes no jnry in the State would convict, and that the witnesses to the payment of the three hundred dollars are as gnitty as the receiver. Mr. Harper argued that all the evidcnco against Atkins is hearsay, except that given by Echols, and he claims to have paid three hundred dol lars, and that he got it from some unknown person. And again, this Committee would never have been appointed if Atkins had not voted against prolongation, for tho action which is attempted to be proved is barred b; the statute of limitations. A letter from Judge Joseph E. Brown sayinf; that he nor his friends, by his consent, hat given any money to any persons to influence their votes and he challenges tho fullest inves tigation—that Echcls is an unknown negro l»y, and his story is in nil probability, with out the slightest foundation. Mr. FITZPATRICK said that in tho opinion of tho Special Committeo Mr. Atkins was not cntitlod to a seat on this floor ho having been bribed to vote for Joe Brown in 1868, and'that he understands that Echols, whom Jndge Brown terms a boy, that he was called np in a room in this building where he saw the Attorney General and some others who tried to persuade him that he swore to a lie before the Committee. Mr. Fitzp&triok rave a detailed accoant of tho evidence tokon ly tho Committee. Mr. BETHUNE raised tho point of order that Mr. Fitzpatrick should not be allowed to detail, evidence not contained in the written evidence handed by that Committee to the Honse. Tho SPEAKER ruled that tho point was not well taken, from which tuling Mr BETHUNE appealed. The appeal was pnt before the Honse and tbe Speaker's ruling was sustained. Mr. BARNUM rose to a point of order that* certain Senator and other parties were on the floor of this Honse interfering with the Mr. FITZPATRICK agreed and said that the point was well taken, and that the son of tho Treasurer had suggested to a member that he shonld appeal from the Speaker’s ruling. Mr. SIMMS said that he only rose to advo cate the negro question. Mr. O’NEAL of Lowndes made the point of order that the question of color was not before the Honse; which point was ruled os well ta ken. Mr. SIMMS continued that the communica tion read before this Honse styling Echols a grown man “n negro hoy,” was an insnlt to the dignity of the House, and was intended as an insult to every colored man on this floor. Mr. RUMPH stud that he was one of the Committee and tried to do hiswholo dnty, and that it would ho a disgrace to this House and tho State if this matter is dodged. Mr. RUMPH called tho previous question on the adoption of the resolation to expeL Tho yeas and nays were demanded. Before tho vote was announced Mr. O’NEAL of Lowndes asked that every member be re quired to vote. The SPEAKER ruled that the point should have been raised as each name was called, from which rating Mr. O’NEAL appealed, and the Speaker was over-ruled, and all members were required to vote. The result was, yeas, 65; nays, 45. So tho resolution, which re quired a two-thirds vote, did not prevail. Mr. DAVIS offered tho following as his ex cuse for not voting, which the Houso declined to accept: Mr. Speaker: I Lave no former prejudice against tne whiteman or the black. I have none at present, and desire none in the future. I am not willing to cover np black deeds of any one, white or black. I believe Mr. Stono as guilty as Mr. Atkins, which the evidence shows indirectly. I am willing to retain neither, as they aro paid their nina dollars per day for voting, ana have no right to receive any other and reflect upon the dignity of tho Houso by so doing. As Stone has not been expelled I ask to bo excused from voting in the Atkins case.” Mr. LANE, from a special committee, re ported tho following bill, to wit: A bill to extend the lien of set-off and re coupment os against debts contracted prior to the first day of June, 1865, and to deny to such debts the aid of the courts until the taxes thereon have been paid.

Midnight Serenade by the Military Acntl- emyllnml—Dinner at Judge Pierpont’a at Garrison's Landing—Sunday Lite in the Cadet Camp—Tho«Colorcd Cadet in Durance Vile—Army Officers at the Ho tels—Senator Ames—The Hop. West Point, August 28, 1870. Scarcely had terminated a veiy delightful though rather impromptu hop given last eve ning at the West Point Hot 21, and with it tho animation of music and many trembling feet and rustling silks, whe a the post military bo*id mado its appeaiance at the hotel and serenaded the President in the deep hush of night—for it was after midnight when the band commenced playing, with the music melting and mingling its murmuring sounds with the echoes from the 'Bypassing mountains. Nothing in the way ofmusio can be imagined having a more soul-stirring and soul-enlivening effect—noth ing— accept by those who have been hero and heard a midnight sorer ado by tho post bond- imagined coming so near tho poet's concep tion of tho exquisite music of a dream. Tho baud played some half hour. If stars are the poetry and mystery of heaven there is a poetry farther reaching and a deeper mystery in music such as this was. We will not under take to describe it. The President, though roused from slumber, was delighted by it, and so wns everybody else who heard it, and there wero very few who did cot REVEILLE AND SUNDAY INSPECTION. While Sunday is generally the quietest day of the week elsewhere, it is altogether the liveliest here. This is particularly so while the cadets are in camp. As the cadets have to get up at sunrise, a cannon is fired at this time, awakening every body else, whether they want to get up or not; and then, to bo sure and keep everybody else awake, there follows an incessent beating of drums; all of which is, of course, intensely military, but intensely disgusting to one who does not care to enlarge his stock of lore on the subject of the rising sun, but bos a preference to cultivate tired na ture's sweet restorer to a considerable later hour. The Sunday morning inspections at nino o’clock, are on interesting feature. Gen eral Upton, Commandant of the Cadet Corps he of Upton tactics memory, so greatly adored by .tho cadets, and so indiscriba- bly useful Sc to those having military on tho brain—conducted tho inspection this morning. As a sort of compromise, no doubt, with the sacredness of the day, the bond play ed some sacred music, but the transitions to galops and waltzes were both frequent and marked. The guard mounting was specially fine; but, in fact, the cadets do not do any thing in tho military way that is not specially fine—a point, it is wholly unnecessary, as the thing has been done so many times, to under take to prove by any detailed description of this morning's military exercises. A large crowd was in attendance as spectators, includ ing many ladies, mostly young, whose anxiety on the subject of our future national defenders has its basis, perhaps, in patriotism, and per haps not Among the spectators, by the way, was the author of the “Wickedest Man in New York,” who at the close, sought to “interview' THE CO LORD CADET, Smith, but was not successful in the attempt The fact is this colored cadet is just now ' disgrace, being under arrest and confined his tent Thinking himself capable of teach ing a white cadet politeness, he undertook to do so through the medium of a tin dipper, brought down with considerable force on the latter’s head. He sits in his tent Remote, friendless, melancholy, slow. And this last adjective of the poet seems quite appropriate to his case. There is cer tainly nothing promising in his appearance nothing indicating any Promethian spark lia ble at any time to ignite any river. THE PRESIDENT VISITS JUDGE PIERREPONT. During the middle hours of the day, while nearly all the people here, including the cadets, were at Church, tho President crossed the river and visited Judge Pierrepont at his summer residence, near Garrison’s Landing. Ho remained there several hours, dining there and returning here shortly before dark and just in time again to miss the evening dress parade, much to the disappointment, second time, of the cadets. ARMY OFFICERS HERE. The hotels are unusually swarmed with army officers, some of whom have been spending several weeks hero, this being their favorite place of summer sojourn, and others having come on to participate in the gay festivities of the forthcoming hop. Among the more con spicuous of these are General Van Vliot, tho well known quartermaster of the army, and os widely popular os he is widely known; General Gilmore, General Kiddoo, General Baldy Smith and General Alexander; Colonel Black, lately commandant of tho Cadet corps—and better liked or inoro efficient officer never filled this position—is also here, as likewise, Captain Camp, connected with the army re cruiting bureau in Now York. Not to be omitted among tho late arrivals is SENATOR AMES, who' with his bride, is stopping at the West Point Hotel As is well known the Senator * . graduate of tho Military Adademy, and, like the most of old graduates, finds pleasure iu coming back hero and reviving the delight ful memories of his cadet days. All the rangements are now nearly completed for the hop to-morrow evening. The second class, which has been absent on furlough since the close of the last June examination, are to arrive to morrow, so as to be on hand in time to partic ipate in tho evening's festivities. A good many others are also expected, and it is well enongh to state that there is to be dancing all night; for it would be utterly impossible to find room for any more at the hotels, as they are now crowded to suffocation. The floor managers are Cadet Fred Grant, son of the President, and Cadets Wasson and Stewart. The selections for this position are made by the Cadet corps, and being exclusively a test of personal popularity, aro esteemed a very high honor. The dancing will be in the room and the room in which the ordinary hops take place, tho two rooms being used for con venience of the division of dances. Every thing gives assurance that it will be a most magnificent affair; and one thing is very cer tain, that although it is Sunday, and notwith standing the presence of President Grant, it has been tho great topic of talk everywhere to-day.
