At tho time we write, nothing is known de finitely of tho toto of tho Georgia hill before tho Senato. It probably will not he finally de cided for somo days to come. Tho general impression seems to be that tho fata of the Bingham amendment is quite doubtful, though a majority appear to believo that it will bo stricken out by tho Senate; One thiDg is certain: Bullock ft Co., aided by all their retainers, tbe Atlanta slander mill and all tbo appliances that money can supply or infernal ingenuity invent, are doing and will continue to do all they can to retain their lease of power. • Under tho appropriate head will bo fohnd the latest news np to the time of going to press. u Senator” Bevels. The mongrel negro-white-Choctaw Sonator from Mississippi, the successor of Jefferson Davis, mado a speech in the Senate one day last wook. It is said that a vast crowd of ne groes and whites filled the galleries. A speech from a negro creates a great sensa tion in Washington. We remember but two occasions last winter when any body’s speech was received with even common politeness. Tho most marked of those was tho fifteen mi nutes’ harangue of “ Mr. Menard,” so-called, a mulatto fellow who bad received some votes in New Orleans, and claimed tbe right to repre sent tho “ Imoty and beauty” of that city in the House. A pin conld have been beard drop du ring tbe delivery of his rambling remarks. Sambo “On a Bender.” The colored Bullock delegation to Washing ton, from tho Legislature of Georgia, seems to bnvo excited some attention along tbo route. The Knoxville Press <0 Herald says, “ a lot of the colored members of the Georgia Legis lature passed through Knoxville on Friday. Their business, from what we saw of them at the depot, was a general drunken spree, at tbe expense of the Georgia tax-payers.” Tho Lynchburg Hews says: “About a do-, zen negro members (so-called) of tho Georgia Legislature passed through tilts city Saturday morning, an route to Washington, to assist Bullock and his clique of dirty Radicals in de feating the Georgia bill now pending before tbo Senate. Somo of tho party wore bard looking crabs, and wo may say in tho languago of a friend who saw them, that they were “ ad amantine nnts.” If they shonld happen to camp anywhere in onr neighborhood we shontd keep a sharp eye on our old rooster, tough as ho is.” ■ Pretty Hot. Tho telegrams have told us of an amendment to the Georgia bill offered in tbo Sonatc, on Tuesday, by that Radical qunckcr, Drake, of Missouri. It will bo seen that it is pretty hot. Wo suggest that the President make Drake a Major General and put hint in command of tho troops sent to Georgia on this errand: Mr. Drake offered an amendment, providing that whenever any Legislature of the late rebel States, or tbe Governor thereof, represents to the President that an organization exists therein for the perpetration of acts of violenco against persons nnd property, or to obstruct the laws of tho Fodoral or State Government, and it U unable to suppress such violence or obstruction, it shall be the duty of the Presi dent to fnrnisb United States'troops for the subjugation and disporeiou of such organiza tions. Upon tho arrival of such troops in tho district in which these organizations exist, martial law shall be declared, a levy made up on tho inhabitants to pay expenses of trans portation of- such troops, and they shall be subsisted npon the inhabitants. Death of an Editor. The New Orleans Picayune announces tho death of Samuol F. Wilson, its editor-in-chief, which occurred in that city on Friday ovaning last.

These continuous insults were heaped upon these tnen till the 27th of February, at which timo Mr. Babcock, finding that Avery and Hulbert would have to bo removed by force, they also being aware of his power to do so, accepted Avery’s proposal to pay hia con tract in fall as soon as tho fiftieth mile post was reached with the iron. Hero the crown of glory was secured, and the story was indostri onsly set afloat in Atlanta that, but for tho su perhuman exertions of Hulbert, tho fifty miles wonld have been lost. The foremen and laborers waited with pa tience tho arrival of J."Edwin Conant. He came, passed ovortho work and reached tho men’s camp, and there had laid before him their many bitter complaints. They asked cither that Halbert shonld be removed, or that they bo paid their just dnes and bo permitted to leave tho work; but as they were laying (ono hundred nnd twenty men) ono milo and a quar ter of track per day, every means was resorted to to keep thorn on the work. But it was ra ther too much to ask, after having worked for months without a cent of pay, and thus nobly dono their duty, to bo snubbed by the chiof contractor and Vico President of tho company. One and all left the work and camo to Bruns wick to receive their pay, (which they have not yet recovered.) Not oven a street broil occur red, nor was a threat mado by the men, who quietly and patiently are in Brunswick still waiting for their pay. So great was the fear created by the guilty consciences of Avery, Hutbert & Co:, that they telegraphed to Gen. Terry tor a company of soldiers, and they are now hero.
