The entrance to tho dwelling of MV. Stephens

Which sat her old master. A light knock, and
the words "come in,"uttered in that well-known
voice, soon told mo that the object of my visit

and generosity for which ho is so proverbial.—

on the flight of Mr. Davis from Richmond, and i $2,500 and $3,000.

then took down in short hand as lie spoke, t
following:
‘•I lmv* a great repugnance to having i

resentutions, which I almost daily see in t

was passing through that part ot the State,
until some time afterwards. "Griswoldville,"
spoken of in the article of Mr. Pollard, is al
least sixty or seventy miles from mv residence.
"However widely Mr. Davis and T nmy have
differed upon public questions and public policy,
either before or during the days of tin* Confed
eracy, our personal and social relations were
never interrupted. Our terms of iul» lvourst
were always friendly. No act of incivility

towards the other, so far.
this connection I would add that it is not correct,
the halls or in tho galleries. The rooms ^.11
have to he re-modeled. Persons can better
speak or be understood in the open uir than in
either hall.
Our friend reports what all others report, that
there is no settled conviction as to what may be
host to do with the negro eligibility question.—
He says that the Atlanta people are trying to
buy off the Milledgevllie people, as to the re
moval question, by agreeing to go in for a high
military school to be established utMilledgevillo,
with Gen. Joe Johnston ut .he head of it. Some
of tin* Milledgeville men have caught at this
bait, but whether their advocacy of this measure
is on account of their love for the State, or for
Milledgeville, or for themselves, sonic others of
the Milledgeville men, who think they see "a
eat in the meal tub," are at a loss to determine.
Our informant further says, that it is thought
that if Builock carries his point and gets Con
gress to give him control of Georgia, by making
him provisional Governor, that he will make
some of his lately appointed officers "walk the
plank” -that some of tho PenitenLiury officers,
who declined to buck him up when called on to
xhibitod I sign a certain k memorial to Co gross to recon-

On Saturday last the report of Dr. B. floors,
General Agent of the Peabody School Fund,
was made public- From it, it appears that th*
agent has dovoted himself, doubtless under in
structions from the Board, almost exclusively to
the care of education iu loyal districts. Wont
Virginia. Dr Sears sny.s labors under great
difficulties, but, an he found there self-sacrificing
and efficient men. who deserved encouragement,
he gave them pecuniary aid, having first inode
a pretty sharp bargain nn io what was to be
provided, in return, as it were, for tbo assitono*
so generously rendered. In the Booth there srj
States which labor under greater difficulties—'
there are men equally self-sacrificing. Dr. Hears
knows all this well. He has traveled from New
Orleans to Charleston. Ho has examined the
schools which have sprung up within the past
three years. He has scon the efforts which an
impoverished people are making, in districts
where there is literally no general public instruc
tion. to give at least the rudiments of education
to their children. Ho saw in Charleston a school
in which more than four hundred children wore

Mr. Stephens still retains all his former ser

some of whom are nearly grown, constitute the

former servants still remain, and cultivate the

GEORGIA CONTESTED ELECTION CASE.
Mr. Dawes, of Massachusetts, Chairman of
the Committee on Elections, called up the Geor
gia contested election case from the Sixth Con
gressional district of Georgia. The resolutions
reported from the Committee on Elections, set
ting forth that. J. H. Christy is not entitled to
represent tho Sixth Congressional district of
Georgia on account of disloyalty, and that John
A. Wimpy is not entitled to a seat from the same
district on account of not having received a ma
jority of votes, were theu read.
Mr. Dawes, of Massachusetts, moved that the
gentlemen claiming the seatR be allowed to ad
dress the House under the rules of the House.—
Agreed to.
Mr. Paine, of Wisconsin, asked if it would
not be well, in view of the resolution adopted
this morning relative to Georgia’s represeuta-
tutives here, to postpone the whole matter for
the present, or else to refer it to the Committee
on Reconstruction. He was ready to offer a res
olution for that purpose.
Mr. Dawes, of Massachusetts, said he would
yield the floor for that purpose, in order to get
an expression of opinion from tho House on the
subject.
Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts, said he was
ready to argue the proposition that Mr. Wimpy
was entitled to his seat. As for Mr. Christy, he
did not believe he represented anybody or any
thing. He was satisfied, and he knew Mr. Wim
py would be satisfied, to have the matter go to
the Reconstruction Committee.
Mr. Brooks, of New York, said Mr. Wimpy
was everywhere and pretended to represent
everybody.
Mr. Mullen, of Tennessee, said Georgia was
standing with one foot on the grave of rebellion
and the other on the rock of loyalty. He pro
posed to keep her there till sho gave evidence of
better repentance.
Mr. Paine, of Wisconsin, said with tho leave
of the Chairman of the Committeo on Elections
ho would move to postpone the consideration of
this subject until the third Tuesday iu February
after the morning hour.
Mr. Dawes, of Massachusetts, said he would
accept of that motion for the purpose of testing
the sonse of tho House.
Mr. flhellabargor, of Ohio, favored tho post
ponement He thought under tho present con
dition of affairs it was proper for the House to
pursue this course.
Tho motion to postpone \^as agreed to.
Fire at the Asylum.—Tho Milledgeville Fed

the building for tho colored insane was set on

She found her way to tho attic and kindled a

fortunately, discovered as soon ns it mado its
appearance through the roof, and by the calm

of the institution, was soon extinguished. Tho
damage was slight (about twelve feet of tho roof
being burned,) and has been repaired.
