The- House bill repealing the militia re
strictions, passed the Senate without com
ment.
Governor Bullock, of Georgia, having been
summoned before the ■ Reconstruction Com
mittee of the House, and requested to give
his opinion as to the proper mode of over
coming the difficulties in Georgia, recom
mended that there should be a literal execu
tion of the reconstruction acts, which required
the primal organization of the State Legisla
ture to be made by the admission of only
those who could take the test oath, or had
been relieved of disabilities fey Congress.
This course would restore the colored men to
their seats without any special legislation,
anil place the legislative department of Geor
gia in the hands of loyal men. After the
adoption by such a body of the fundamental
conditions precedent to the State’s admission
to the Union, all members eligible under the
State Constitution and the fourteenth amend
ment would be admitted to seats, and no
further action of Congress would be neces
sary.

tute a system of rigid economy; and second,
the removal of political disabilities from the
Southern people. The resolution finally
Passed; yeas, forty-three, nays, six.
The House was engaged all day in hearing

The Archbishop of Armagh lately made the
daring statement in the House of Lords, that
if the Protestants could not have places of
worship, they must emigrate; and if they em
igrated, then Ireland, left to Roman Catho
lics. must be governed by the gibbet and Vie
sicord. He afterwards tried to soften the bru
tality of the speech by explaining that what
he meant was, that the difficulty of govern
ing Ireland would bo greatly increased by the
emigration of the Protestants; but he really
meant what be said, and thinks there is no
hope of keeping down Catholics except by
violent means. , , ^ 1 )

Memphis, December 14.—Troubles in Ar
kansas continue. The Liberty arrived here
this morning with a number of families, who
had fled from Augusta. They confirm for
mer statements in regard to the depredations
of the militia. The Des Arc put her passen
gers off a few miles below Augusta, her officers
fearing to trust the steamer within their reach,
and returned here. The agents of tho White
River line have been instructed to hold all
freight for Augusta and points above, to pre
vent seizure by the military.
The Avalanche’s Little Rock special to-night
says the outrages committed by the miun.
are so flagrant as to provoke the condemna
tion of all parties favoring peace and order.
The Republican (Radical organ) says this
morning: This thing of martial power is not
only unconstitutional, but oppressive, in as
much as the circumstances of our condition
are not of such an alarming character as to
justify resort to such arbitaiy, unconstitution
al and extraordinary measures os setting aside
the whole body of civil law, and we hope the
Legislature will pass a law prohibiting fur
ther exercise of this power. The Governor’s
report to the Legislature shows Upham’s
forces in Woodruff only one hnndred and
fifty, he had taken fifteen prisoners at Augus
ta, and says he will kill them and burn the
town if attacked by Rebels. In the southeast
the force is two hnndred and fifty colored
troops. Martial law has been proclaimed in
Conway county, because private letters rep
resented half the population as Ku-Klux. He
declines to publish toe names of the writers.

GEORGIA.
Georgia matters are rather complicated in
the National Capital at this time. Our able
Senators have not as yet been admitted. A
few Senators take the gronnd that Georgia is
not reconstructed; and that the work must be
completely re.modlled. This strange doctrine
may or may not be adopted. We think it
will fail. Georgia, is in our opinion, recon
structed ip strict conformity to law, and we
cannot see how Mr. Snmner’s bill, which we
publish to-day, can receive favor at the hands
of a wise and enlightened Senate. We do
not believe it will pass at all, much less in its
objectionable form. For the present we
shall say little on the subject, believing it un
wise and imprudent to speak hastily upon
matters where so much is involved. It may
not, however, he improper to say that, while
in Washington, we did all we conld to flank
and prevent the tearing up process thrust
upon Congress by a few Georgia gentlemen,
who are not altogether as wise as was Solo
mon of old. Of thin we may speak more fully
hereafter, '
To say that Qeorgja was pot reconstructed
in conformity to the several requirements of
Congress, is a proposition too absurd to com
mand the attention or respect of an ordinary
school boy. We know of no logic snfficieuly
strong to sustain a proposition so worthless.
It is onr wish to save the State, and to for
ever perpetuate loyalty and the Union. To
this end, we say let reconstruction stand as
it is, and give us only such legislation as will
secure and carry ont the requirements laid
down by Congress ip the reconstruction acts.

New England and New Work.
“At the late election New York State gave
a total vote on the electoral ticket of 849,751.
The six New England States gave a total vote
for President of 541,502.
“Thns it will be seen that New York polls
300,000 more votes than all the New England
States. New England has twelve United
States Senators, and New York only two.
New York has thirty-three electoral votes,
while the New England States have thirty-
nine.”—Albany Argus.
The Iitelligencer some two years ago point
ed ont the vicious features and effect m our
governmental operations as above stated.
Onr views were hutch copied and approved.
Had there beep that eqnalify in State repre
sentation in the Senate which the Constitu
tion might have possibly meant, or might be
construed as meaning, there would he eqaality
of representation of States in the United
States Senate according to their population,
and not of (as) States, solely so considered.
The Constitution, as it now is, regarded in
the view that “no State shall be deprived of
its equal representation in the Senate,” can
only be changed in that vitally important re
gard by calling a convention to make a new
constitution. Any sacrifice should be endur
ed by the people to get rid of that feature
concerning Senatorial fanr.eaentaii.pn which
has made such dire mischief "in the land.
Sectional and fanatical disorders, and war it"
self, with its crushing weight of woes other
than of a "fearful taxation for the benefit of a

Wliat Liquor and Tobacco Costs.
Mr. Wells, the Special Revenue Commis
sioner, in his annual report shows that the
receipts for liquors sold in the United States,
at retail, in one yew amp.qnjed to $1,400,000.
In the I)istrie£_of Columbia the report states
that $10,"376,450 was received by retail liquor
dealers..
The report of the Commissioner of Inter
nal Revenue furnishes Information as to the
amount of cigars and manufactured tobacco
upon which duties were paid during the past
year. The figures are as follows:
Smoking and chewing tobacco, lbs 44,9o0,880
Cigars, number 690,335,052
To these figures may safoly be added
one-third for frauds upofi the revenue. This
would give the following:
Tobacco, lbs 59,8C7,506
Cigars, number 787,113,402
Of the manufactured tobacco there v^as ex-
ported ll.OOQ.QQQ }bs- flefocftjng this, we
have left for home consomption, 49,867,506
lbs. To the cigars may" be added 15,000,000
for imported, which are not included in the
internal revenue returns. This would give
802,113,402 as the actual consumption. The
average retail price of manufiietnred tobacco
we have ascertained to be about 75 cents per
pound, and of oigars, 7 cents each. The ac
tual cost to consumers, at these prices, would
be as follows:
Tobacco *47.400,339 60
Cigars 56,147,938^*
Total. ...*1(13.548,877 6*
The interest op the funded debt of the
United States, at six per cept., is $120,000,000
per annum. This is $17,000,000 more than
the people pay for tobacco and cigars.—Ra

Man Shoots His "Wife
Suicide.
and Commits
Worcester, Iffass,, December 12.—A wo
man named Mrs. Enright, who keeps a gro
cery store in Canterbury street, this city, was
shot by her husband, Luke TuUy, about noop
to-day. Tully was her second husband, and,
after an absence of two yearn, returned a few
days since. Her servant girl says that, about
12 o’clock to-day she heard a noise in the
front store (she being at tho time at work in
the kitchen), and on going thither found
Mrs. Enright prostrate on the floor, and
Tally standing over her with a fonr.harreled
revolver in his band- At tho moment of her
entrance, Tully fired three shots at his wife,
one of which lodged to the baok of her bead,
another passed through the fingers of her
right hand, and the third lodged in her wrist.
The girl pushed Tully away, when Mrs. En
right got up and ran out the front door, and
fell on the sidewalk. The girl then ran for
an officer, and, upon returning, Tally was
found lyin'* upon the bed-room floor, having
shot himself through the head, ana gashed
his throat with a pair of shears- Mrs. En
right will recover, hut Tally cannot possibly
survive.
