COtrMBCS, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 11, ISOS The Election—To-day. Tho time has again come for the people of this city to choose their rulers, or servants, for anoth er yoar. The interests to be committed to their care, at all times important,-are now doubly so from our peculiar condition. The city has a vast amount of indebtedness, and, without oppressive taxation, it will tequire the most economical, careful and prttdent management to enable her to meet it. Besides taxation, she has but few sources whence she may draw her revenue. Some she has, however, and these must contribute to tor wants. Necessity absolute, inexorable, de mands that every available resource be employed to enable her to pay the accruing interest on her bonds and the expenses of the city government. To this end the co-operation and harmonious action of her Mayor and Board of Aldermen are matters of essential importance—conditions pre cedent. This result can be secured only by the election to those offices of honest, discreet, tem perate and intelligent men. We care not to what party they belong. Politics should have no more to do with tho appointment of agents to manage a city government, than it has with the selection of a clerk by a merchant, or aboard of directors by a railroad company. If they he men of integrity, energy and intelligence, we care not who they are nor where they come from ,• we shall consider their election an occasion for congratulation and rejoicing, We exhort our fellow-citiz.ens, there fore, to discard all partisan or other unworthy feeling and, for once, determine, in the election to day, to act with exclusive referenco to the public good. * “Odchodkkk” is the name of anew Post Office recently established in Randolph county Georgia* and James M.

It lias been a stormy session to-day in the Senate. The Supreme Court bills were before the body and there was considerable excitement. The bill of the House of Representatives making all the decisions of the Supreme Court made by a full bench tho law of the land elicited considera ble discussion. It was passed by a vote of 61 to 41. It is the opinion of the writer that it is un. constitutional as it sets aside judgments made in conformity to the law. A bill also passed sub mitting the question to tho people, of the abolition of the Court ; also, a bill preventing Judges of the Supreme Court from presiding in cases where connections and relations were interested. As Judge Bcnuing has been hunted down and abused for presiding in the Bank cases, his friends advo cated the passage of the last bill, which is thought ridiculous by many, who have opposed him.— Let the law be understood and let Judges who have connexions interested retire from the Bench and let the people see how the law will work. A bill, also giving the J udges from term to term to write out their decisions passed the Senate.— Nothing of much interest in the House to-day. Mr. Colqultts Speech. The question being upon the passage of a bill declaring that, all decisions which may have been, or which may hereafter be made by the Supreme Court, and in which all three of the Judges have or may concur, shall be the law of the laud, and not subject to reversal by said Court. Mr. COLQUITT said. That the principles contained in the bill were in his judgment violative of the spirit and mean ing of the Constitution, and destructive to the rights and interests of the people. What were the propositions contained in the bill? Ist. That all judgments pronouneed heretofore by these Judges shall bo the law of the land, whether or not they stand reversed by a majority of the Court, at the periord of the passage of this Act. 2d. All decisions made by three Judges shall be the law of the land, as fully and effectually as though enacted in terms of the General Assembly. Both propositions be regarded as opposed to the spirit, if not to the letter, of the Constitution.— The passage of the bill before the Senate would set aside all the decrees of the Supreme Court made by two Judges in conflict with those made by a full Court. The decision of two Judges w ere as legal and binding as those of three, and were made in conformity to the law and the Constitu tion. Then no decision could bo reversed by the Legislature—that was the province of the Judi ciary department oftho Government. To pass an Act assuming the power was to usurp preroga tives of the Judiciary. It, would be a Judicial and not a Legislative Act, or if a Legislative Act it would come within the prohibition of the Con stitution. In looking over the Constitution of Geor gia he could find no where to exist, a power to grant, with respect to suits already adjudica ted, new rights of reversal, not previously re cognized and regulated by positive institutions nowhere to exist, the power of the Legislature to exercise concurrent jurisdictions with the Supreme Court in the reversal of its decrees—on the contra ry, except in instances “expressly permitted,” as the right to pardon and try cases of impeachment, the power was forbidden. Our Legislative pow ers are well defined, and limit and restrain us from acting in the double capacity,’“Ss a house of legislation and also a Court of judicature. 11l England it was true one department of the Gov ernment the House of Lords, as a Court of derni er resort took eoguizance of suits at law and in equity—-but in Georgia the Supreme Court was the Court of appeals and final judgment. It alone could reverse its decisions and not the Legislature, it would be as much a usurpation on the part of the Legislature to pass Act'thc effect of which would be to declare null and void the decision of the Supreme Court as it would be for the Judici ary to pass an order repealing the laws made by the Legislature, the decisions are merely the evi dence of the laws—the Legislature makes and re peals laws, uot decisions, then this bill is simply a judicial act. But suppose it is a Legislative Act, then it conies within the prohibition of the Con stitution. The Constitution says the “Legislative, Executive and Judiciary Departments of Govern ment shall be distinct and each department shall be confided to a'separatedbody of magistracy: and no person or collection of persons being one of those departments shall exercise any power, prop erly attached to either of the others, except in in stances herein “expressly permitted” Mark the words, “herein expressly permitted.” IVhere is the grant of power in the Constitution to reverse a decision of the Supreme Court, solemnly made, and ia conformity to law? It cannot be found, and except in instances of granting pardons and trying cases of impeachments, it is a usurpation upon the prerogatives of the Judiciary, to inter fere with its decrees. The power is not expressly permitted and therefore as a matter of course ‘it U denied and withheld. Such was his (Mr. C’s) construction of that clause io the constitution. The restraint f upon the Legislative power, Mr. Colquitt argued, just Md fight, V egoverniaeiit eovpeeed ef Legislative, Executive and Judical departments, j were established by a constitution which imposed no limits on the Legislative power,the result would ( be that, whatever the Legislative power chose to i enact, would be lawfully enacted, and the judi- j cial power could never interpose to pronounce it | void. lie repudiated the idea advanced by tho j Senator from Harris (Air. Hill) that the Legisla- , ture was supreme and omnipotent; that it was ] absolute and without control, He regarded the Constitution as the supreme authority. To guard against so great an evil as giviug to the Legisla ture unlimited power, it has been the policy of the States in framing their constitutions to define with precision the objects of Legislative power, and to restrain its exercise within marked and j settled boundaries. Air. Colquitt maintained that the operations of j the bill were retrospective, as well as prospective, j and dangerous in its consequences. It was of the j nature of an expost facto law, and contrary to the j genius and spirit of our State governments, the general principles of law and reason. The rights acquired under the last decision of the Supreme Court, though made by two Judges, in reversing a former decision, are rights legally acquired and cannot be transferred by an act of the Legisla ture. The organic Act and the Constitution, gave the Judges the discretion and a liberty to differ in the construction of the law. Mr. Colquitt was proceeding to argue the se cond proposition, that every decision of the Su premo Court should be the law, thereby transfer ring to the Judiciary the law making power when the hammer fell,his eight minutes having expired. The Virginia Democratic Convention,—lts Refusal to endorse Douglas Democracy. The deliberations of this body have resulted in the nomination of the Hon. John Letcher, for the office of Governor, Robert L. Montague, Esq., for that of Lieutenant Governor, and John B. Tucker, Esq., for the Attorney Generalship. We annex from the Virginia papers, the following account of the closing proceedings of the convention, touch ing federal polities : Mr. Wise said he was unwilling the convention should adjourn without passing a resolution en dorsing the administration of Air. Buchanan He had conferred with members of both the parties— Letcher and anti-Letcher —that were not and are in this convention, and tho resolutions he was about to offer had been approved of by both. He read them as follows : 1. Resolved, That trusting to the patriotism, wisdom and fidelity of tho present Chief Magis trate of the Union, and in view of the conduct which has hitherto characterized his direction of public affairs, we recognise it as a duty, binding on every true democrat, whatever honest differ ences may have arisen on isolated questions of public policy, to rally to the support of the ad ministration, in the’ name of, and for the sake of, the party whose best interests must remain identi fied with its own. 2. Resolved, That wo rejoico unfeignedly in the late victory, so gloriously achieved by the loyal democracy of Illinois, brethren in the same political faith, we recognize Iheir success as our triumph, and, in common with patriotic men of all sections and all parties, we find a special cause for congratulation in the defeat of a dangerous sec tional organization. Mr. Pryor seconded tlio resolutions, and urged upon the convention the adoption of them. The resolutions were passed with a few dissent ing voices. Mr. B. B. Vaughan, of Petersburg, then made a short address, saying that he saw plainly that Air. Montague was the favorite of Eastern Vir ginia for lieutenant governor, and would support him. Air. R. 11. Glass, of Lynchburg,’wished to state that the resolution just passed—tho last particu larly—was not approved by a considerable por tion of the convention. He wished to offer a series of resolutions as a substitute for them if they wove reconsidered. Air. G. did not obtain the floor at that time. At a late hour, Mr. Brannon, of Lewis, rose to propose a reconsideretion of Mr. Wise’s second resolution. He did not oppose the action of the democrats —so-called—of Illinois, but he did not endorse their platform, or see anything ‘glorious’ , in their triumph. Mr. Wise defied any true democrat to find fault with a single word iu the resolution. He read it again, Mr. l’ryor said that he had been shown the resolution before coming in the hall, and had ad vocated it merely as an expression of sympathy with the Illinois democracy in their unparalled victory over the hlace-republicans. But as some peesent seemed to see something more pregnant in it than he did, lie would move a reconsideration of the vote by which it was adopted. Mr. Wise said that, to satisfy even the most par ticular, he would append to the resolution one imbodying the following assertions : That the citizens of each State of the Union are entitled to equal rights with citizens of other States in the Territories. That every citizen may hold every species of property in the Territories authorized by the laws of any of the States, and that this right cannot be affected by the action or inaction of the territorial authorities. That it is the imperative duty of the general government to protect the rights of citizens in every species of property in the Territories. A vote was taken, and the resolution reconsid ered. Mr. Brannon said be knew of some of the de mocracy of Virginia who did not sympathise with the democrats of Illinois in their struggle, nor endorse their platform. Nor did some of the Vir ginia democracy believe it was necessary to pro tect slavery in the Territories by congressional legislation ; for they believed that it existed, and was protected under the constitution. The right to maintain slave property was a natural right, and the property itself would be protected under that right. He feared that the victory of the de mocracy of Illinois would prove the ultimate ruin of that democracy. Its position he under stood to he the necessity of congressional legisla tion to protect slavery in the Territories. Now, the democracy of Virginia believe that slavery can exist under the constitution, and does not require federal legislation to aid it. He moved to post pone the question indefinitely. Mr. Wise proceeded to answer the argument of Mr. Brannon at length. lie contended that while Congress could not create or extinguish slavery in a Territory, yet it could and should protect the right to hold slaves there. Suppose a man in Kansas stole a slave, an ran him oft’ to Canada, and was afterwards arrested in Kansas, could he be punished for the offence if there was no law to protect the right of property in slaves ? And if he could not be punished, how could slavery ex ist? How could the institution stand the assaults of kidnappers, unpunished and unpunishable by law ? He said that this resolution was intended to congratulate our noble democratic brethren of Illinois on their glorious victory. Could the de mocracy of Virginia refuse this to the largest body of northern democrats which had withstood the assaults of black-republicanism ? He did not wish the resolution laid on the table. He wanted it ad opted or rejected, and he warned the convention that if one or the other was not done, he would appeal from them to the democracy of Virginia, and let it judge between them and h im. [A Voice. So let it be!] Mr. Clay brook moved to lay the resolution on the tabic. Mr. Skinner, of Augusta, was confident that the lateness of the hour would prevent proper consideration being given to the resolution, and appealed to the gentleman from Richmond to withdraw it. Mr. Wise declined to withdraw it, and a vote on Mr. Claybrook’s resolution to lay it upon the table resulted in its being disposed of in that way, only three or four members voting no.

The greater portion of the report of tho Secre tary of the Treasury is devoted to the operation of the tariff of 1857, and to a discussion of the best means of so revising the tariff that the requir ed revenue may be raised by imposing on the peo ple at large the smallest and most equal burdens. It is considered a subject of regret that a pub lic necessity requires a revision of the tariff of 1857, before a sufficient time has elapsed to test its legitimate effects upon the business of the country, as well as the revenues of the Govern ment. The proposition of a high protective tariff is not favorably considered by the Secretary. Adhering to the principles of the present tariff act, the Secretary recommends such changes as will, in his opinion, produce the amount of reve nue required for the public service. It is sugges ted that schedules C, D, F, G, II be raised res pectively to 25, 20, 15, 10, and 5 per eent. This change will, it is believed, increase the receipts by $1,800,000. To raise the additional amount need ed will not require an increase of all the rates of duty of the present tariff; it w r ill become neces sary to select certain articles to be transferred from lower to higher schedules. The public debt on the Ist of July, 1557, was $29,060,386,90. During the last fiscal year there was paid of that debt the sum of $3,904,409 24, leaving the sum of $25,155,977 66 outstanding on the Ist July, 1858: To this amount must be ad ded the sum of $10,000,000 negotiated during the present fiscal year, of the loan authorized by the act of June 14, 1858. There was issued under the provisions of the act of December 23, 1857, during the last fiscal year, Treasury notes to the amount of $23,716,300, ef which there was re deemed during the same period, $3,961,500, leav ing tho sum of $19,754,800 outstanding on.the Ist July, 1858. As these notes will become duo and payable during the next fiscal year, some provis ion therefore is recommended to be made. The Secretary is opposed to the policy of add ing this amount to the permanent public debt by funding the notes. On tho other“hand, their en tire redemption in < ne year would call for an in crease of the tuv'.T to a point which would render necessary anotlv r revision of it in the succeeding year, lu the ‘-pinion of the Secretary, the true policy would bo to look, in the present revision of the tariff, to their gradual redemption, commen cing with tho next fiscal year. To carry out this policy, it is recommended that Congress should provide for the raising of such an amount of reve nue as will enable the Secretary to redeem a por tion of them, and, at the same time, extend for one year the provisions • of the act of December 23, 1857, authorizing the reissue of such portion of them as the means of the Government are not sufficient to redeem. The operations of the independent treasury sys tem have been conducted during the last fiscal year with the usual success. The Secretary is well satisfied that the wholesome restraint which the collection of tho Government dues in specie exerts over the operation of our present banking system, contributed in no small degree to mitigate the disasters of the late revulsion. Tho attention of Congress is again called to tho provisions of tho act of Alarch 3, 1857, on the subject of deposits by the disbursing agents of the Government. The objects which the act sought to accomplish meet the entire approval of the Secretary, and it has been carried out to the utmost extent that was practicable, but a full exe cution of the law is impossible as it now stands. By the report of the Director of the Alint, it ap pears that the amount of bullion received at the several mint establishments during ihe fiscal year ending June 30. 1858, was $51,494,311 29 in gold, and $9,199,954 67 in silver, and that the coinage during the same period amounted to $52,889,800 29 in gold, and $8,233,287 77 in silver, and $234,000 in cent*. The Director recommends that the law be so amended as to make silver a legal tender to the extent of fifty or one hundred dollars; but the Sec retary sees no urgent necessity for such a change, Alauy of the various public buildings under the direction of the Bureau of Construction have been completed during the past year, and are ready to bo occupied for the purposes for which they were intended. In the last report the attention of Congress was called to the fact that owing to the condition of the Treasury, the department had postponed the building of a portion of the public works authorized by previous enactments. The Secretary considers the present condition of the Treasury as not more favorable for their construc tion. The recommendations in the last report on the subject of hospitals, are renewed. It is deemed most important that the bill for the consolidation and revision of the revenue laws should receive the favorable action of Congress during the present session. On the Ist of July, 1857 being the commencement of the fiscal year 1858, the balance in the treasury was : : : : : $17,710,114 27 The receipts into the treasury du ring the fiscal year 1858, were * $70,273,869 53; as follows : Quarter ending Sept. 30, 1857- Customs, : $18,573,729 37 Public lands, : : 2,059,449 30 Mis’cls sources. : 296,641 05 Quarter ending Dec. 21, ’s7 Customs, : : $6,237,723 69 Public lands, : 498,781 53 Mis’cls sources, : : 356,159 78 Quarter ending March 31, ’sß Public lands, ; : 480,936 88 i Mis’cls sources, : : 393,600 78 Tres'y notes issued, 11,087,600 00 Quarter ending June 30, ’SB Customs : : $9,850,267 21 Public lands, : : 474,54S 07 Mis’cls sources, : : 207,741 15 Trs’y notes issued, 12,625,700 00 The aggregate means, therefore, for the service of the fiscal year ending June 30, 1858, were : 87,983,983 86 The expenditures during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1858, were as follows : Civil, foreign intercourse, and mis cellaneous, : : ; $26,237,822 20 Service in charge of Interior De partment, : : : : 6,051,923 3S Service in charge of War Depart ment, : ; : : ; 25,485,383 60 Service in charge of Navy Depart ment, : : : : : 13,976,000 59 Public debt and redemption of Treasury notes, : : : 9,684,537 99 During the first quarter of the current fiscal year, from July, let to Sept. 30, 1858, the receipts into the Treasury were $25,230,879 46. It is estimated that the receipts during the re maining quarters of thecurrent fiscal year to June 30, ISSS, will be $38,500,000 00. The estimated ordinary moans for the current fiscal year are $70,129,195 56. The expenditures of the first quarter of the cur rent fiscal vear ending Sept, 30, 1858, wore $21,- 708,198 51. It is estimated that the expenditures during the remaining three quarters will be $52,357,698 48. The estimated total expenditures for the current fiscal year are, therefore, $74,065,896 99. Our Macon neighbors are awaiting with impatience for a visit from the English Opera Troupe.

C., Dec. 9. —The decision of the Federal Court on the application for habeas cor pus on behalf of the crew of the Echo, was deliv ered to-day. Judges Magrath and Wayne deci ded that the act of 1820 is constitutional; and they remanded the Echo prisoners to jail to await the action of the grand jury at the next regular term of the Court, on the charge of piracy. Congressional. Washington, Dec. 9.—ln the Senate to-day, Messrs. Crittenden, of Ky., Toombs, of Ga., and Johnson, of Teen., appeared and took their seats, Mr. I verson, of Ga., gave notice of a motion to substitute money as a compensation in the placo of the franking privilege. In the House, the committees were announced. The Watrous impeachment case was up. Texas. The San Antonio Herald states that Mr. Robin sdii, of Boston, who intends to go into the busi ness of sheep raising upon a pretty largo scale, has made his location in Mr. Kendall's neighbor hood, on the Guadalupe, and received recently his first drove of sheep from Mexico, some 1,500 head. There were several others who went to Mexico at the same time for sheep, among them Mr Judson, and the number brought on was 4,000 iu all. These gentlemen are now importing fine bucks from the North. The Sau Antouio Herald of the 23d says : We learn from Mr. E. W. Stow that the grass hoppers have appeared in large numbers on the Salado, some twenty miles northeast of this city. They are now laying their eggs in the ground, which, upon examination, appear about the size of ant eggs, and a large crop of these pests will, in all probability, appear in the spring. * The Tyler Reporter, of the 20th, has the fol lowing : On Saturday night last, while Bishop Pierco was preaching at the Methodist church, the cry was raised that the house was falling, and immedi ately a “stampede” ensued which baffles descrip tion. The utmost consternation prevailed, as ev ery person in the house made desperate struggles to reach the places of exit. The church was crowded to its utmost capacity with ladies and gentlemen, and the screams of the former and ; shouts of the latter were enough to appal the I stoutest. Pell-mell, over each other they rushed, i in their mad panic—the stoutest crushing tho weaker underfoot, until the house was cleared.— Windows were dashed to pieces to afford openings I for egress, and men, women and children came I through so promiscuously, so mixed up, that yoa couldn’t tell “t’other from which.” As soon as I all had gained the open air, it was discovered that j the alarm was a false one, and that no danger whatever had existed. It is not known what ; origuated the alarm. The services were not re j sumed on that evening. Singular to say', no per | sou was seriously injured in the panic. Chinese Labor. —lt is probably a part of the “Sonora Mining and Emigration” movement to bring in laborers from China. It is said by per sons who have studied the subject in California, and who have since traversed the surpassingly rich mineral regions about the head of the Gulf of Cal ifornia, with a view to their development, that ; gaugs of coolies could be obtained and worked in | the mines at a ticclfth part of the sum the same 1 amount of negro labor w ould cost. The plan, as : we understand it, is to thrown in a thousand work ing men from New England, to give tone and di | rection to the development of the Arizona mines ; ’ and on this basis of security Northern capitalists can bring in coolies and have a “free State” in | name, with all the reality and profits of slave-hold ing.— Wash.

He takes pleasure in presentinglhe names of the learn ed and accomplished individuals whose services have been engaged as co-workers in the great cause of Ed ucation. Mr. Dickson, has been, for years a devoted student of the classics. His scholarship in this department is unexcelled; while in other fields his researches have been thorough and ample. Asa Christian gentleman, an excellent disciplinarian, and an able teacher, he is equalled by few. Messrs. Biackstone and Dennis are men of ability, and much moral worth. As an evidence of this, it need only be stated that they taught their way through Coilege and obtained its degrees by their own unaided efforts. THE COURSE OF STUDY is ample, embracing the various branches of the ordinary coliege course. It is at the same time, designed to afford the [highest advan tages to those who are preparing to enter any of the college classes. It is progressive and systematic; but not sterrotyped—to be passed over by every pupil in a fixed period, at a given number of strides, irrespective of capacity, scholarship and mental habitude; but that prescibed for each individual will be regulated according to his mental capacities and contemplated future course Acting on the theory that boys should learn first those things whi.h they are to practice when they become men, they will be required to pay special attention to those branches of study that are to fit them for business and the duiie.s of an active life. The mind is not treated as a mere receptacle; but as a thing of life, growth and action; the prime object is to develop its energies nurture and train itsexpanding powers; to mould and guide aright its various and com plex emotions; to bring into active exercise all its fac ulties; and to present in full and just proportions an educated practical man. and not a graduated dunce or learned automaton. The pupil is taught to think, to reason, to investigate. He not only learns to compre hend what is said, hut to examine the “substratum and understand the reason of the proposition. In the study of the Latin and Greek languages, pu pils are exercised in translating, both orally and in wri ting, from the foreign into their vernacular and vice versa, until by frequent and repeated application, ev ery principle becomes easy, and every w f ord is rendered familiar. By this and a careful study of the idioms of the languages, they become not mere translators, inele gant and inaccurate, hut linguists. The institute is furnished with ample philosophical and chemical apparatus, Mathematical instruments, Mineral Cabinet, Maps, Skeleton, Physiological Charts and a well selected library of several hundred volumes. To these such additions will be made as the improve ments in science and tlie wants of the institution may demand. In additiorf to the familiar lectures and illus trations with which the recitations and exercises in every department will he interspersed, extended lec tures on various scientific subjects will be delivered whenever the circumstancas render it necessary or expedient. The discipline and rules of conduct will be such as are recognized and taught in the Sacred Scriptures such as comport with reason and propriety—and such as are approved by experience and common sense. In short, every pupil will be required to do right. Students from other institutions applying for mem bership will be expected to furnish testimonials of their moral and student like deportment. The buildings will be neatly fitted up and thorough ly renovated, so that nothing in the outfit will be wan ting for convenience and comfort. By .a division of labor, with an efficient faculty and limited number of students, Browmvood. it is help ved, will offer advantages equalled by few institutions in the land—combining those of the higher Seminary with the best select private school.
