It will be seen, by a special notice, that the Investigation Board (Captain G. K. Sau dcraon and Captain Chambers McKibbin, Jr.) sent hero to ascertain the facts in the case relative to certain charges of mal. administration of the municipal affairs of this city, are now in session at the City Ilall; and that all persons desiring to substantiate said charges, are invited to present them* selves at the Council Chamber this afternoon at three o’clock. The officers composing tho Board were at the Council Chamber, yesterday afternoon, where they met the Mayor and Aldermen (with the exception of Mr. Conley, who is out of town) and a large number of citizens. Captain McKibbin read the order of Gen. Meade, organizing the Commission, where* upon Captain Sanderson announced that he had prepared a' few interrogatories (eight in number, we believe) which he proposed to submit to a portion of the signers of the petition containing the charges against the municipality. At this point, Mr. A. R- WRIGHT, editor of the Chronicle <!• Sentinel, being the first person questioned, arose and interposed ob j ctions to that method of conducting the investigation. He announced that he drew up the original petition, which had been altered in a few particulars ; he believed every charge specified could be proved ; pro ceeded to relate what he intended to prove, etc.; he did not see what good would be ac complished by the Commissioners unless ample time was allowed the petitioners, and the board of investigation should compel the atttendance of certain parties from whom important evidence would be obtained—and cited, as an example, the business manager of the National Republican. [Just at this moment the identical business manager was seen entering the chamber—and, we prom, ise, will be there again, Deo volenle.] Captain Sanderson explained that the object of the Commission in requesting cer tain of the signers of the petition to be pres ent, was that they might meet them per sonally and ask certain questions as to their knowledge of the truth of the statements made in the petition—that it would be im possible for the officers to go about the city and call upon each one. Hon. JAMES T. GARDINeTi.Ex Mayor, took the position that the signers were accusers and not witnesses ; that they should not bo called upon to state whether or not they knew, of their own knowledge, the charges made in the petition. The aforesaid WRIGHT hereupon ap pointed himself and Mr. Ganahl a "com mittee” to represent the petitioners, and asked time to “prepare” evidence to support their charges, and called upon the gentle men present te decline answering the ques tions, but to leave the matter with the self constituted committee to “prepare” evidenoe. lion. ROB’T 11. MAY, Ex-Mayor, stated that he knew nothing personally as to the truth fulness of the charges; he had a high opin ion of the members of Council, as citizens, but deemed it improper to pay the present salary of the Mayor—he thought it too high—and further, that the force of police men and doctors placed in office by the former, should not have been reduced by tho present Council. He believed the present Board were squandering money, because the tax was now two per cent, on real estate, whereas in former times it was but one fourth of one per cent. [Unfortunately for the argument of the Ex-lilayor, the tax ordinance now in force is precisely the same as that prepared and adopted by the late representatives of “tho respectable white people.” | JNO. L. STOCKTON, Esq., of the Con stilutionalist, didn’t know much about the matter, except that he refused to put in a bid for the city printing because he did not receive a printed notice to do so—admitted receiving a written notice to that effect from .the Clerk of Council. JOS. GANAHL, Esq., became forensic, and stated to the Commission that the present Councilmen did not represent the respectable white people of the city; that more than two thirds of the said white people preferred the old Council, ttc., etc., — very clearly showing that the whole thing was a political move, an effort by the anti reconstructionists to take advantage of the change in the Commanding Generals, in the expectation and hope they indulged that General Meade was a partisan and would aid the Obstructionists, rather than a Soldier who w ill faithfully and impartially perform his duty aud execute the laws. The Mayor and Council specially requested the Commission to grant the self-constituted legal committee all the time possible to .“prepare” and present their evidence of maladministration. The present Board need only refer to the condition oi the city, the peace and quiet which prevails, and to the accounts of the Treasurer (an estimable officer elected by the old Board), for a full and complete vin dication of their administration. We do not expect that the political opinions of the present Board aro in harmony with or ac ceptable to their predecessors. As none of the gentlemanly signers of the Petition—of whom about forty were present—were willing or “prepared” to give evidence in support of their charges, the Commission granted the request of Council to give the self-constituted committee time for “preparation.” Our readers will be duly posted concerning the pending Investigation. Golden AVordaa-Forbeurance, The Mercury, of Wednesday, has an article on “Our Duty Towards Each Other,” the greater portiou of which Meets our hearty approval. Our cotemporary shows that in the present condition of the 88utb, “a debt may represent a most equivocal justice, which should appeal powerfully to the holder, for forbearance.' ’ Even where there is no ante-war indebtedness, the whole business of the country is so deranged as to require chapged rules of dealing with each other* The failure of a man to meet any pecuniary engagement whatever, is no proof that he can not meet them, but simply u proof that he can not meet them at that time. Hence, a snirit of forbearance—a spirit of charity— and a sympathy, worthy of our suffering country and distressed people, ought to char, acterizo all our dealings with each other. I Important Decisions. The following Decisions hove been ren dered by the Supreme Court of Georgia, now in session at MilledgeviUe : In the case of W. 8. Jones as. E. W. Ilar ker, from the City Court of Augusta, the •Judge below ruled in this case, that the act of the Congress of the United States declaring certain Treasury notes of the U. S. to be a legal tender for the payment of debts from one citizen to another, so far ns the act relates to contracts made and entered into prior to the passage of that act to be uncon stitutional and void. This decision is reversed for the reason that we ure absolutely controlled by the decisiou of the Supreme Court of the United States recognizing the constitutionality of the Act of Congress making Treasury notes a legal tender. Judgment reversed. Interest on the notes sued on in another case, was suspended during the continu ance of hostilities in the recent war between tho citizens of Pennsylvania and of Geor gia, and is now recoverable for that period of time. Judgmont reversed. Whore the defendant tendered Confed erate money in payment of a note cxeeutod prior to the Ist of June, 1861, and the plain tiff refused to receive it, giving as a reason therefor that “he had becomo paymaster for some heirs.” Held that this was not such legal tender as would stop the running of interest on tho note. Judgment affirmed. Where a trustee mortgaged the trust property to secure his individual debt and upon a motion to foreclose the mortgage as against him. Held that the mortgager could not set up a defence against tho fore closure of the mortgage against himself, that the property so mortgaged by him is trust property. Judgment affirmed. Where a promissory qote had been placed in the hands of an attorney at law for col* lection, and suit had been instituted thereon in the name of tho plaintiffs, the rightful owners thereof, against the defendant, and pending the suit, the plaintiffs' attorney, on his own motion, moved the Court to strike out the names of the original plaintiffs and substitute in place thereof the name of a party who had no legal valid title to said note, and proceeded to take a verdict and judgment in the name of such substituted party against the defendant. Held that there was no error in the Couit below in refusing to set aside the judgment on motion of the plaintiffs’ attor ney in said case for the benefit of his clients, who were the original plaintiffs in the cause, against the consent of tha de fendant. The suit was in favor of citizens of a Northern State, pending during the war. The Confederate States Receiver was the substituted plaintiff. Judgment affirmed. Agricultural Societies. These associations have never been duly appreciated by the Southern people, and this fact is easily accounted for. During the days of slavery, when labor was abundant, and subject to out control, they were, per haps, not so important, and consequently received but little attention. The object of every farmer is, of course to realize the greatest possible yield in pro portion to the quantity of land in cultivation, the number of hands employed, and the capital invested. To do this he must exer cise the very highest degree of skill in the management of his farm. Now, how many are possessed of this degree of skill ? You may find a few here and there, but a major ity of tho men now managing plantations know literally nothing about scientific farm ing, and the misfortune is, they do not care to be taught. Ignorance is always bigoted, and many of them think that what they don’t know is not worth knowing. No man is perfect. No man has ever arrived at perfection in any trade, occupa tion, or profession. A few excel, but. the great majority never rise above mediocrity. ltcgin at Home. Dispatches from Boston announce the departure ot a party of missionaries for India. The party is composed of several missionaries of long experience in thatdistant field, reinforced by a number of young women of determined character. There is something calling for admiration in tlfb enthusiasm that leads men and women to sacrifice the best years of their lives in labor and hardship among the heathen of distant lands, and there is no doubt that much good is accomplished by their labors. There is a growing opinion, nevertheless, that the same means and the same energy would accom plish far greater results among the ignorant and suffering population of our own country. There is within the United States as broad a field for Christian labors as the most ambi- tious missionary could desire. Putting out of the question the African mid Indian races there is a vast field for the exercise of all the virtues that render missionary enterprises valuable. We have ignorance, infidelity godlessness, poverty and suffering in our midst. Let these evils be vigorously attacked, and there will be a moral welfare that will occupy our philanthropists for the •imainder of their lives. A South Carolina Judge has decided that slavery was not abolished at the date of 1 resident Lincoln’s proclamation, but ceased to exist when the State was captured.— Ex change. We know of some old-fashioned people in Georgia who hold to the opinion thatslavery ceased to exist hero when a certain “ Consti- Amendment” was ratified by a State Convention.— Augusta National Re publican. And the National Republican (a Radi cal paper), which seems to endorse the opinion of these ‘ old fashioned people,” at the same time holds that the State Conven tion (or Legislature) of Georgia which ratified the Constitutional Amendment abolishing slavery, was an illegal body! Does he therefore think that slavery has not yet been abolished ? It is the only logical conclusion.— Columbus Enquirer, Jan. 13. 1. The National Republican is not a “Radical paper.” 2. We think it would puzzle tho enquiring Enquirer to placo his finger (or pen) upon any assertion wc have made warranting him tu believe that wo “ hold” any such theory respecting the State Convention of Goorgia. 3. We do think slavery Ims been abolished. CJooi AivlM. If your coat is comfortable, wear it two or three months longer, nq matter if the gloss is off. If you have uo wife, get one. If you have one, bless God ; stay at home with her, leave the bar-room and gambling table. These are expensive luxuries, where many men beggar their families and blow c out their own brains in remorse. Annus Domllfi. Numerous correspondents of the Cincin nati Commercial arq discussing the question whether this is the sixty eighth or the sixty ninth year of the century ; which is about as übstruse as the question whether this is the eighteenth or nineteenth century. But the best of the joke is that almost all of them (all, we believe, but we won’t insist on it) speak of the year 1800 as the first of the present century. It seems to be agreed on all hands in Cincinnati that the year 1799 was the last of the eighteenth ceutnry, and of course that the year 99 was the last of the first century, and (“logic is logic, that’s all we say”) necessarily that ninety nine years make a century, and, equally necessarily, that ninety niue is one hundred. Work House.’’ In view of the very large pauper force at present drawing rations from the city, we thiuk some belter plan of relief should be adopted than that at present in force. While it is true that many of the recipients of the city’s bounty are aged and feeble women and small children, yet there are many hearty young women among this class of charity seekers that could he employed profitably. When questioned as to why they do not go to -work, the answer inva riably is: “I can get nothing to do.” It is true, that all of them cannot obtain em ployment that would give them a living in the present financial condition of our city, but very many ol them c-ould get situations as domestics, and thereby secure good homes and an independence, did they not possess a silly repugnance to occupy inferior positions. If these people will not get rid of these foolish notions of false pride, steps should be adopted to compel them to labor. The city could save thousands of dollars by the establishment of a Workhouse and. alms house combined. The majority of those now on tho pauper list could be profitably employed in such an establishment Many light and useful articles could be manufac tured that would find ready sale in this city. Many an idler, who is now picked up on the streets and sent to the guard house at an expense, could be made to pay for his rations at least, by the employment of his hands at something useful. We commend this subject to the earnest consideration of our City Fathers—hoping they will perfect and a scheme as will be found superior to the present im perfect plan of “relief.” [Advertisement.] Woods at a Sacrifice.

A married gentleman, aged thirty three, had suffered from a cough for six months; to suclt an extent as justly- tojbxcite the most serious apprehensions on the part of his friends. Ilis cough was frequent, attended with pain in his side, shortness of breath loss of flesh, pale, sunken face, and at times fever. All the remedies he had tried had not availed to meet his case, or even relieve his cough. He took one box of Humph reys’ Cough Pills No. 7 without experiencing but moderate relief; and, on consulting Prof. Humphreys, was advised to use the fever pills in alternation with the Cough Pills, He did so, taking three or four pills per day, and found immediate relief, and in three weeks considered himself entirely well having regained his strength and vigor, and being free from his cough. ° + The “Conservative” Uesotve. At a large and enthusiastic meeting of tho “Conservatives” of this city, held on the evening of the 4th instant, Mr. A. Ransc Wright editor of the Chronicle <f- Senlinel (Obstructionist), offered the follow ing Resolution, which received only one Black ball: “Resolved , That from the past history and exemplary character as a gentleman and an officer of Major General GEORGE G. MEADE, wc believe that ho will, in the disharge of the difficult duties which do, volve upon him as Military Commander of District No. 3, so administer the laws which he is sent to execute as to render fair play and equal j ustiee to all classes of our people; and to that end we tender to him, in advance the assurance that, to the best of our ability we will sustain and support him in his new and trying position.” -[ Distressing Accident—Child Burned to Death.— About two o’clock on Saturday last, Mrs. G. W. Clinton went out of her housb, to be gone about twenty minutes, leaving her little daughter, Susan, about fourteen and a half months old, asleep on the bed, and no one in the house but a son, some seven years old. During the mother’s absence the child awoke, and the boy took her from the bed and placed her in a little •hair near the fire. By somo means firo was communicated to her clothing, and very soon she was entirely enveloped in flames, her cries at tracting the attention of a negro woman employed on the adjoining pre mises. When this woman got into the house the little sufferer was standing near tho door shrinking and cringing as if to get way from the cruel torment she was in. Tho Dames were entirely over her body and head, and, before anything could be done for her, her clothes were burnt entirely off and her body to a horrible crisp. Dr. E. J. Roach was immediately called in, but nothing could bo done to alleviate her sufferings, and, after four hours’ excruciating torments, she was happily relieved by dentb. Ihe little boy lelt in the houso with her was able to give no account of how the flames were communicated te her clothing. We regret to record so fearful and sad an accident, and hope wo shall never have to record another so sad.— Atlanta Era, Wed nesday. (gekgrapt)ic Nfros. From Atlanta. Atlaxta, Jan. ’l6.—The report of the Committee on the Militia, made this morn ing, it very short. It authorizes the forma tion of Volunteer Corps of Cavalry, Artillery and Infantry, and makes all men between 18 and 45, not exempt by law, liable to militia duty; and says the whole matter shall be subject to tho paramount authority of Congress over it. After a debate which consumed the en tire day’s session, the Convention adopted the following, as a section of the new Con stitution : There shall be no imprisonment for debt A general order was issued this morning directing all Military officers to coOperate with the civil authorities to repress and punish crime, hut to take cognizance them selves of cases where it is believed there will otherwise be a failure ol impartial justice.
