Ben Hill’s Speech in Congress.
This noted Georgiau has at last been
heard in the hails of Congress, and we
await with some anxiety the verdict of
the country as to its effect. We see by
the proceedings in the House of liepre
sentatives that Mr. Hill had the floor on
the 11th to reply to ex Speaker Blaine,
a most formidable opponent, he being
the leader of the Radical party of the
House, and a candidate for the Presi
dency -the question under considera
tion being the amnesty bill—a sort of
omnibis bill, which pardons the nation
al sins of everybody but Hon. Jefferson
Davis. Mr. Blaine had endorsed the ex
clusion of Mr. Davis from amnesty prin
cipally on account of the prison at An
dersonville, holding him personally re
sponsible for its management. The
subject was one, we imagine, which Mr.
Hill could manage in a masterly manner,
•and but for his failure to reply readily to
Mr. Blaine’s thrusts in relation to a res
olution introduced by Mr. Hill in the
Confederate Senate, we expect his
speech was all that his friends looked
for.
His remarks upon Mr. Davis were em
inently proper. He said: “The record
upon which his fame must rest had been
made up, and his companions and friends
had remitted that record to the only tri
bunal , that would give an impartial
judgment—honest posterity. In the
meantime, no eulogy of his could help
it; no censure from the gentleman
[Blaine] could damage it, and no act or
resolution of the House could . affect it
The charge against Mr. Davis was that
he was a deliberate, willful, scheming
murderer of thousands of his fellow-citi
zens. Knowing the high character and
reputation of the gentleman from Maiue,
he [Hill] had Supposed, when he heard
the charge fall from his lips, that he had
certainly made a recent discovery, and
he had listened for the evidence ; but
what was it? Nothing but a partial re
port of a congressional committee. This
testimony was exclusively ex parte—tes
timony taken while the gentleman now
on trial before the country was in
prison without a hearing and without
the opportunity of a bearing. If there
was any principal held sacred in the An
glo Saxon mind, it was that an English
man was not to be condemned until he
should be confronted with his witnesses,
but that testimony was only ex parte,
and that was mutilated, palpably mutila
ted, most adroitly mutilated. [Ex
tracts]. Even on the day of bis execu
tion Wirz had been offered a commu
tation of his sentence if he would impli
cate Mr. Davis, but Wirz's answer to his
■counsel was: “Mr. Schade, you know
that I have always told you that Ido
not know anything of Jefferson Davis
He had no connection with me as to
v/hat was done at Andersonville. I
would not become a traitor against him
or anybody else even to save my life.”
But said Mr. Hill, what poor Wirz
.within two hours of his execution would
-not say for his life the gentleman from
Maine says to keep his party in power.
[Sensation.] Sir, Christianity is a false
hood, Lumanity is a lie, civilization is a
cheat, or the man who would not make a
false charge for his life was never guilty
of willful murder.”
Hie showing in relation to the tfdat
ment of prisoners in the several prisons
North and South exhibits a knowledge
of the subject, and a quietus to the mat
ter was given by reading from Surgeon
General Barnes, the ratio was twelve per
cent, of Confederate prisoners in Feder
al hands died, and less than nine per
cent, of Federal prisoners in Confeder
ate hands $ and, my friend, [addressing
Blaine with great emphasis] who is the
murderer? I would believe Surgeon
General Barnes in preference to any pol
itician over there.
Mr Hill passed in review the efforts
of the Confederate Government to get
rid of their prisoners, and concluded his
branch of the subject by saying: “And
of all the atrocities, both at Anderson
ville and Elmira, the Confederate Gov
ernment stands acquitted from all re
sponsibility and blame. [Extract.] But
the South is here, and here she intends
to remain. [Enthusiastic demonstra
tions on the Democratic side and in the
galleries.] Let fanaticism do its worst;
let it pass its nullifying acts, trample on
the Constitution, abrogate the pledges
of the fathers, incite raids on our peo
gle, multiply infidelities until they sball
e like the stars of heaven or the sands
of the seashore, without number. But
know this, that for all your iniquities the
South will never again seek a remedy
in the madness of another secession.
[Renewed applause.] We are here. We
are in our father’s house Our brothers
are our companions, and we are at home,
thank God.”
Throughout his remarks Mr. Hill was
warmly applauded on the floor and in
the galleiios, but the greatest acknowl
edgment of his ability was shown when
he was allowed by unanimous consent
after bis hour for speaking had expired,
to continue his speech without limita
tion—a courtesy seldom awarded when
the matter under consideration is of a
partisan character.
Election of Stale Treasurer.
At a joint session of the Legislated
on the 13tb, J. W. Benfroe, of Washing
ton county, was elected State Treasurer
for the unexpired term of Jones. Mr.
Benfroe received the entire vote of the
members present, except Mr. Crymes’
of Franklin.
Two new Senators are to be elected
soon from Southern States —Kentucky
and Mississippi. In the former State,
Beck’s election is considered probable,
and Lamar has been nominated in Mis
sississippi, which is equivalent to his
election.

THE GEORGIA"LEGISLATURE.
MATTEES AND THINGS IN ATLANTA.
FROM OUR .SFECIAL CORRESPONDENT.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 13, '7G.
Editor Gazette : As we have prom
ised to give you a weekly record of
items of interest transpiring here dur
ing the session of the Legislature, we
will endeavor to give you a sj-nopsis of
events as they come under our observa
tion that we think will be of interest to
the people of Hart and Elbert counties.
The Legislature convened yesterday
morning with a quorum in both houses.
Three new members were sworn in in
the House to fill vacancies from the
counties of Cobb and Wilkes, and the
Hon. Mark A. Cooper in the Senate.—
The day was occupied in organizing and
in reading the Governor's message :
which is an able paper, and meets the
approbation of the people generally.
The greater part of the message is de
voted to the Treasury question—show
ing the action that has been taken to
have been prompt and decisive, reflect
ing great credit on our present Execu
tive. As writs have been filed in the Su
perior Court of Fulton county against
the Hon, Jack Jones, former treasurer,
it is probable there will be no trial for
impeachment by the Senate.
To day has been taken up in an eleo*
tion for Treasurer of the State of Gear
gia, to fill the unexpired term of Jack
Jones, which resulted in the unanimous
vote of the House and Senate for the
Hon. J. W. Renfroe of Washington
county, the present incumbent, with on
ly one ajogle vote in opposition, which
was case by Hon. Mr. Crymes of Frank
lin county, for Mr. Lowe.
Several bills have been introduced
and read the first time amongst which
as an evidence of the spirit of retrench
ment, there are several bills introduced
to reduce the pay of tax collectors and
receivers in various counties
It is generally supposed that the Leg
islature will order a constitutional con
vention at as early day as possible.
The representative from Elbert county,
Hon. Mr. Mattox answered promptly to
roll call, with the opening of the House,
and Mr. Hester was in bis place this
morning, both of which gentlemen will
guard well the interest of good old El
bert, and reflect honor on the people of
that county.
The Hon. Jefferson Holland from
Hart, was also in his place, but was de
layed a day at Toccoa, because while
telling a tale at the depot on .Tuesday
morning, the train would not wait for
him to finish it but went off and left
him, consequently he bad to come on the
freight accomodation He is an old
member in the House having served two
or three terms previous in the Legisla
ture from Hart and Franklin, and we
have beard since we left home that he is
prominently spoken of in a portion of
our county that he will be solicited to
come back again next winter.
During the past year Atlanta has been
buildii g up rapidly, and we notice sev
eral.new and splendid buildings that have
been erected, one of which is the Mark
ham House, kept by that popular hotel
keeper Mr. Owens, formerly of the Na
tional. The Markham House is literally
thronged with guests, and ever / room
is full, and is interfering very consider
ably with the trade ofthe Kimball House.
Mr. Hewitt formerly of the Globe
hotel of Augusta is the present manager
of the National, at which house Mr.
' Mattox is a guest.
We hear rumors of several failures of
prominent business houses in the city,
but as we see no mention of it in the
city papers, we refaain from giving you
names as it may all be idle rumor.
