COX-IT MTS ITS: Thursday Morning, January Hi, | liIUtUEST CITY CIRCULATION. Various causes have operated to delay the publication of our paper; even now we arc not quite “fixed up,” hut will resume the regular issue of “ The Sun” day after to-mor row. * The City’s Muscogee It. R. Stock—Again. We had supposed that this “vexedques tion” was disposed of, so far as the action of our city authorities was concerned, inasmuch os tho now Council, about the middle of De cember lost (according to its published pro ceedings), “ unanimously reaffirmed” the “ contract and resolution accepting the propo sal of Messrs. Patten and Mustianfor the loan of $26,000,” and inasmuch as those gentle men had, on the faith of this ro-affirmancc, liquidated the debt duo by the city in New Yorlf . Wo were therefore surprised to receive t noimtico given in our advertising columns, ‘'m.ihv Council will “ take into consideration T i fiposit’ons for tho sale of tho Muscogee ltail ■A hdd by tho oily, and will proceed to iHposo of tho Maine at tho next regular meet ing ‘( 4 >1 A -Mbssre. Patten and Mustian parties to hie f vrangmuent ? And if they art; not, is not ihe proceeding a violation good Ruth to warJ i thorn, nfter they have fulfilled iu part their (•ngngomont, reposing on the ratification ebov 1 ') quoted ? Why is it that a satisfactory .. itr ofnt of tho case in its present aspect, ofid of the logality of tho Council’s late pro eocd: igs, does not accompany tins brief notice? fa it nx'pcctod that capitalists will invest in the •tori’- with the uncertainties and the possibili ty of litigation before them ? And how oan . apitaiists invost, under this short and very fariinl notice? If tho intoution is to procure • higher pi ice for tho stock, oortninly the cor rect method i3 to invito nil possible competi- Jufl~-n..t to confine tlie oiler to Columbus *toclt-brokei-> Elouo. It has boon urged that the stock lately commended $1)0 per share in f a,ur.nah. W hy, then, are Savannah and Ma •on brokers, at lonst, not allowed an opportu nity to compoto with bidders here? Wo prettily fear that, whatever price the • took may bring, tho dty will have to “loot o hill” of hoa\y chargee and losses on account of tho extraordinary indecision and bungling attending this wholo transaction from its in ception to its ultiinato settlement. Our Legislature. As we have to report four days’proceedings in this paper, wo aro compelled to abridge the reports more than wc desired, and more than wo will horooftor. It wAll be seen that several bids of much interest aro ponding. Among others, is Mr. Cone’s Judiciary bill, which passed tho Senate on Thursday, and which, in tho judgment of tho Southern Recorder, “will in all likelihood also pass tho House.” It pro vides that tho Judges of tho Supreme Court •hall bo oloctod by tho people; also that the County Court ehall bo composed of one Judge, •looted by tho people and holding otlice for fouryoaia, rUa.l the latter Coui't shall have jurisdiction of all civil cases not exclusively confided by the Constitution to tho Superior Courts, and over all criminal offonces cominif t■ l by free whitoporsons whore tho punish ment is not doath or confinement iu tho Peni tentiary, and over all offences committed by slavos or free persons of color, not now triable by Justices of the Peace. A County Attorney is also to be oloctod by tho peoplo to hold office for four yoars, and to prosccuto all criminals or persons guilty of a non-performance of any couuty duty in relation to roads, bridges, fer ries, &c. Tho Federal Union thinks that the bill pro viding for annual sessions, &c., will pretty suroly pass tho House and become a law. The United Statos and England. It is now assorted concurrently and positive ly, by tho news-gatherers and news-venders at Washington, that tiro President lifts, by and with the advico of the Senate given in secret cession, determined to recall Mr. Buchanan at once, and that ho will not appoint another Min ister to England as long as Lord Palmerston remains at tho head of tho Ministry. It is said by some that tho Executive himself has made this disclosure to members, in urging tho necessity of a speedy organization of Congress. The Washington Organ also asserts positively, • ndas within its own knowledge, that our Government has demanded tho recall of Air. Crompton, tho British Minister. Wc are hard ly fill owed to doubt theso reports, so confi dently and eo generally aro they made. It w II be fair to infer that if our Government c id* Crompton homo, recalls Mr. Bucli •n>” *iid refuses to send out another Minis t.i -*i long a- herd Palmerston remains in p tor tho British Government will also do e i* to f cud a representative in the place of C mpton ns loug as wo are without a Minis t. ■ .!’ her court; and thus tho means of con duoiiag fitvthor negotiations will he gut off. In tnis condition of things, a slight misunder 8b lading or irritation may load to a conllict betwce-i vessels or aat ; orities of tlie two na tions, find a state of hostilities may thus bo precipitated. It is even said that this course of retaliation and irritation has already been commenced, our Government being advised that Great Britain has ordered another re-in forcomenfc to tho West India squadron. It ie quite evident —-these statements being tt ae—that the two r ations occupy a very me nacing attitude towards eaoli other, and that • very alight local provocation may plunge thrill'nto a>i ar. Wo are satisfied that our own GoTrram.at is so far in tho right, that it la *n- isin*d by the people, is bettor prepared far tb® conflict than its adversary, and i t iJlcar tti*result. Viv York legislature has organized by I Ci'. .dciitiea of *€k*ft [Van Buren) Democrat i er speaker, which vr„9 effected by a union of j thsl ptvty attd the Black Republicans. Per i centra —T wC< ft Stale Convention has endors- 1 er7 the AdmiohL-tloo of President Pierce and | p cd l oeotutioa!! of * National and concilia- j uory character. Their professions aro admira ble, but they are iu extremely bad company Cold Weather at tho South. It would socm as if there was still on# bond of union between the North and the South left i intact and uudiminished. As if to chide the . repulsive and estranging course of Northern politicians, tho cold winds of that region are reaching farther South than ever before to clasp our people in their chilly embrace. Ma ny years kaveelapsed since our “sunny South” has experienced cold so severe and so long continued. The present week, so far, would drive an Esquimau to his ice-hut, and force a white bear to avoid the windward side of a berg, were tiioy translated to this region. It is indeed a spell of Southern weather with Northern principles, and it is National whital, for this “cold snap” “knows no North, no South, no East, no Wost—nothing but tho wholo Union.” From further connection with it wo desire a dissolution us soon as possible. Our fire (s) eating proclivities have been increa sed at least ft hundred fold by this last Nor thern aggession ; and, forgetting constitution al scruples, we would even be willing to re-es tablish the odious Missouri Compromise line as a barrier. Congress. The candidate of each of tho factious still “holds his own” very well. Aftertheyhad all defined their positions, in accordance with a resolution of the House, Messrs. Kcitt, Boyce, and McQueen, of South Carolina, and Gen. Quitman, of Mississippi, temporarily deserted Richardson, but they have since returned to his support. The plurality rule lias been again voted down, by only four majority this time. A proposition that all the members re ■sign was defeated by a majority of twenty-six. We hope it may prevail next time. A kind of omnibus scheme—a resolution electing Banks Speaker, (’ullumClerk,GlossbrennerSergeant at-arms, &c.—was laid on the table by 111 yeas to 90 nays. A resolution was adopted prohib iting all debate, except by unanimous consent, during this week, unless a Speaker is elected. There will consequently be more voting, but wc see no reason to predict that itwill be more effectual than the ballotings for the last two months. Fighting in Kansas! It is reported at St. Louis that a conflict has taken place at Easton between a company of Frccsoilers from Lawrence and the Kiekapoo Rangers, and that numbers were killed and wounded on both sides. The disturbance is sup posed to have originated in the revolutionary proceedings of the abolitionists. Many per sons word hastening to Easton. The snake was “scotched, not killod,” by Gov. Shan non’s “ treaty” with the rebels. “Grass” will not do—uuless’ when twisted. — Hoti. George W. Stone, of Lowndes county, has been elected a Judge of tUo Supreme Court of Alabama. Judge >S. was recently one of tho Judges of the Circuit Courts, is a lawyer ol’ very fair standing, and in polities is a South ern Right;! Democrat. There was floating ice in the Mississippi river as low down as Bayou Sara, La., on the 18th List., and some of the steamboat officers anticipated that navigation above Memphis would be closed. Mississippi Senator. Ron. Jeff. Davis has been elected a United States Senator by the Legislature of Mississip pi, to succeed Senator Adams, whose term ex pires on the lthof March 1857. Though there is no necessity for Mr. Davis’ resignation, as lie will not be required to take his seat until tho term of the present Administration expires, wo soe that tho papers are speculating as to his successor iu the War Department, and Air. Faulkner, of Virginia, is named as heir-appa rent to tho secretaryship. The bill establishing the Commercial Bank of Alabama at Selma, lias passed tho House by 67 to 27. Several towns were put in nomina tion for tho location, and Eufaulu. proved tho principal competitor of Selma, receiving in the first ballot 26 and in thosecond 34 votes. Sel ma obtained 37 votes on the first and 51 on the second ballot. Tho Presidency. It is said that iu case the Presidency should bo thrown into Congress, and the Statessliould voto as they stand at present, there would be eleven democratic, eleven republican, seven know nothing, and two tie. Judge Cone’s Resolutions. We give below the resolutions on Federal affairs introduced into our State Senate by Judge Cone. The general approbation which they have called forth from the press, of all political classes, throughout the State, is a cheering indication that so so far as these res olutions go, at least, Georgia will speak with out division in the national councils Judge C. is entitled to much credit, not only for so framing his resolutions that they can give of fence to no political organization in the State, but for the direct, unequivocal, and senten tious manner in which they present the sen timents expressed: Resolved, 1. That we have witnessed with regret the repeated and continued failures of the House of Representatives of the U. States to elect a Speaker. 2. That it is tho duty of the members of that body, who are opposed to the election of the sectional Freesoil candidate, to forget past dif ferences, to unite, to meet, to nominate, and to elect a Speaker. 3. That the construction of the Clayton- Bulwer treaty by the President is right, and according to its plain and obvious meaning. We will sustain the President. We love peace, and earnestly desire its continuance. We will not avoid war, if the protection of the rights and honor of the nation demand it, 4. That tho ability with which the President, | in his late Alessage, has set forth the true con stitutional theory of the government—the , rights of the South in relation to the institu tion of slavery—and the aggressions of the i North, and the forbearance and endurance of \ tho South upon that subject, is worthy of the Ch es Magistrate of tho nation. His views aro sound and constitutional. They command our assent and receive our approbation. 5. That tho Secretary of the Senate make a copy of these resolutions to be transmitted to the President and to each of our Senators and Representatives at Washington. GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.

Resolved, That while we abate nothing of our opposition to the secresy, oaths, and proscription of Catholics and foreigners which characterize the Know Nothing Order, we cor dially invite all our fellow-citizens who agree with us in this opposition, and who arc willing to unite with us on the resolution of the last General Assembly of the State of Georgia, upon the Kansas-Nebraska bill, irrespective of past political associations, to co-operate with us in maintaining the constitutional rights of the South upon the question of slavery. 3d. Resolved, That the last annual Alessage of President Pierce meets, as it deserves, the unqualified approbation of this Convention, and that we adopt it as setting forth the correct doctrine in relation to the foreign and financial policy of the United States, and the true theory of our Government, and that the thanks of this Convention are especially due him for the fear less expression uiliiis doinions in regard to the subject of slavery; and while we have cause to apprehend that his upright discharge of duty will excite a more active and unscrupulous hostility on the part of the enemies of the pub lic tranquility, he lias thereby doubly endeared himself to the true men of the South and to the lovers of constitutional equality throughout the Union. 4th. Resolved, That this Convention deems it due to its convictions of justice to declare, that, as decided as our preference is, we con strue the 9th Resolution of the Platform pro pounded by the Democratic and anti-Know Nothing Convention of of November last, as restricting us in tho expression of that preference for any particular individual for President of the United States : And be it fur ther Resolved, That while we are unwilling to embarrass the action of the Democratic Con- vention, by directing the vote of the State to be cast in favor of any particular individual, we cannot refrain from giving expression to the general sentiment of aifciiration and of gratitude which the people of Georgia enter tain towards our present Chief Magistrate— that the State of Georgia would hail with un bounded satisfaction and entire confidence the re-nomination of Franklin Pierce to the office of President, of the United States: Provided he shall stand pledged to carry out the principles of our platform in his administration and in his appointments to office. sth. Resolved, That the people of Georgia are bound in honor, in self-defence, and in self preservation, to stand by the constitutional rights of pro-slavery men in Kansas, and we appeal to our brethren of the Southern States, to rally, and raUy without loss of time, in de fence of the cause of slaveholders in the Terri tory, which is the cause of the whole South. 6th. Resolved, That this Convention most cordially approve the course of those of our Representatives in Congress who have stead fastly adhered to William A. Richardson for Speaker of the House; they have thereby man ifested their devotion to the principle that Congress has no power to legislate Slavery into any State or Territory, nor to exclude it there from, but to leave the people thereof perfectly free to form and regulate their domestic insti tutions in their own way, subject only to the Constitution of the United States. 7th.
