While thanking our friends, at heme and abroad, for tho recent large accessions to the subscription books of The National Repub lican, we beg leave to remind the reading public generally that there is yet room for more. We shall continue to merit the distinction which has been awarded us, by friend and f oe —that of publishing the most readable paper iu this section of country, for which the price is only five dollars ——« ■ - Horruwißff. The business of reading The National Republican at .other people’s expense, is practised to a great extent in,this coining, nity—and it is a very small and troublesome business, too. Ten cents a week will give you lhe daily Republican regularly every morning at your breaklast table, and why should any man, to save such a pittance as that, debar bis family of the daily news, aud burry away from his table every morning to get a sight of the paper in his neighbor’s counting room ? • ♦ Humanity* We learn that the Street Railway Com pany care for their horses during the sultry weather, by using a sponge and bucket of ice water for saturating the heads of the dumb beasts. Yesterday on Broad street a horse fell down, overcome by the heat. This should be a sufficient hint to owners and drivers of horses to 'make suitable precau tions against similar accidents. There arc many patents to remedy this, but a simple piece of sponge attached to the top of the head gear, and saturated with water, will effectually prevent sunstroke. If this is not attainable, a buoch of large, fresh green leaves will answer the purpose, save the beast, and give the animal that degree of relief which wo ourselves endeavor to ob tain. Hydrophobia., It seems that there is a tbropist in New York who offers to let any of the mad dogs of that place bite him, in the certain assurance that he has away of preventing hydrophobia. This man says that he was bitten several times by rabid animals,, and cured himself each timp by making a strong salt pickle, rubbing the wound with it for an hour, and then binding an additional quan tity of salt on it. People who are so unfortunate as to be bitten might try,this, but we can’not advise them to get bitten on purpose to try the experiment. Drunkcnneix as a Disease. Dr. Parrish, of the Media Asylum for Inebriates, in Delaware county, Penn., delivered ari*intereeting lecture in West Chester, on Tuesday evening of last week, upon “Habit and its Laws.” We learn that the leading topic of the lecture was the habit of intemperance, and the ques tion was argued more from a physical than a moral standpoint. The doctor main tained that drunkenness is a disease, and its victims can no more help it than they can help an attack of the cholera, yellow fever, or consumption. This disease may be hereditary, may be implanted by the mother in administering remedies to her infant, or may be acquired as other diseases are, through improper diet, etc. The doctor was decidedly down on the profession for prescribing so much alcohol in many of their reme dies. A great error of the day is the manner in which the disease of intemperance is treated. It has become the very bad habit to denounce it as a crime, to rate it among the vices, and consequently its unfortunate victims are cut off from the care and sym pathy they deserve and stand so much in need of, and are looked upon only as merit ing punishment for their crime. This is all wrong. When the great public—when tem perance reformers—look upon drunkenness lu its proper light—when the same provision 18 made for its thirty thousand victims in Pennsylvania that is made for the blind, the crazy, or the poor—when the drunkard is taken by the hand, encouraged, sympathized *ith, and is made to feel that he is suffering w >th a disease, and is not a criminal in the eyes of the moral world, ah important step will be taken in the true pathway to tem perance reform. Atlanta, Ga., July 9, 1868. Mr. Editor.— My letter shall be a short pne, and this foes not occur from an iudis positron puirtf 'but Mibiptytwing to the dearth of local news generally, although every thing seems to be progressive in its character. j It is true that our Legislative body is striving jo fMft|out 5A spirit </ ftinfor and fairdcsS tire measures' sei before thin/ through the message sent by Provisional Governor Bullock. 1 hear of no complaints os to the tepor of his communication, made by the party. A hiffifotnent, it is true, was made by that party in the Senate to day which if carried out would have effectually checked the desire of all true Republicans to purge that body of all who are by virtue of the reconstruction acts' declared ineligible. It was sopght to ap point a special committee who should in vestigate MHMM ffW 9 fWHT F f members',' cfohpoW!'! fniin ' bifual wnMlren •but the wide awake Republicans promptly voted down this intent to deceive. Mr. Harris, from Ncwture evenly, took a prominent part in the proceeding, aud remained firm and unyielding, and his zeal was rewarded by the majority voting ft* his resolution, which simply carried out the views of the Governor elect. As the case now stands, both Houses a.re determined to purge the body thoroughly of all members who are not entitled to seats. Ot course the lobbyists are abundant, and a great anxiety was felt by the friends party as to the result. When the Message of the Gov ernor was received, all seemed to concur iu the opihion that he could not have done otherwise, unless violating the plain intent and meaning of the laws set.fortl) through military channels as bis guide. There is .nothing dictatorial in the verbiage of the document, but it is a simple, plain, unvar nished sUtaiuaui of facU. Messrs. Toombs and Cobb addressee!’their particular friends in Davis’ Hall, last eve ning, and of course there was any amount of cheering am! excessive demonstrations of Democratic rejoicing over the nomination of Seymour and Blair. Very few Republicans were present, and several of those retired on iaccouut o®lira al-lleJwapixl upon certain ■Mwl WMrniivHWlftAra .meat of participating in an intellectual feast from what wc thought were once great men of intellect. f Howell Cobb was particularly dis tinguished mi ~tb*s occasion for; advi sing Senators and Representatives not to vote for any Republican for the office of United States Senator, and counselled non affiliation. We heard no sound, argumentative speech, and we . are . convinced that abuse pot coupled will! arguhiAil' to mate a’ chiis’e a noble one, is void—hence it fell upon our ears as the sound of a tinkling cymbal. An ilhltninution on a small sunk' was attempted on the same evening, and this is all the, manifestations of rejoicing w witnessed on account of the action of the New York Convention. We hour nothing here save the great ‘question as to the eligibility of members; and a spirit of concession exists iu the breasts of Republicans towards all of this unfortunate class truly commendable. BkY.ifwr x. Tbe Georgia Legislature. SENATE. Friday, July JO, The Messenger announced a comniumca tion from His Excellency the Governor. A motion that it by read. A Sfenalor suggested that action on the journal of yesterday was first in order. The Journal was then declared cvMfirnqcd, and the Secretary proceeded to read flic Governor’s communication, which .was in relore<w>,to the oleetipn of the members of Legislature ana State officers—calling the attention of the Senate to the provisions of the “14th article,” and stating tljnt tliejt present legislation could not be legal until action was taken thereon, and the Senate purged of ineligible members. Accompanying the Governor's Message was “General Orders No. 52, Headquarters Third Military District,” which dotawneut was read by tbe Secretary ; also the act of Congress in reference to the admission of the Southern States. Mr. Candler—A resolution providing for the appointment of a committee of seven to take into consideration the Governor's mes sage. The President decided that the resolution was out of order, and the message sjwuld be first taken up. There was an appeal, and the Chair was sustained. It was then moved to refer the message to a committee of seven, which was carried. After a Iqqg deflate. in which several buncombe speeches werfe fired off, Sir. Winn ask>Fl leave to be relieved from serving on the Cmnmittee on the case of Brqtjlvy. Granted. Mr. Bradley requested to have a copy of the charges preferred against him. Referred to the special committee on his case. A memorial was received from Mr. Lan drum, contesting the seat of Mr. Rmlmrdsou. Referred to tfc^’CortmitftA.-on Privileged and Elections. Mr. Welborn reported a resolution in reference to furnishing the Senate with cer tain documents. The Senate adjourned until ten o’clock Monday morning. HOUSE. The House met at 12 o’clock in. pursuant to adjournment. Speaker McWhorter in the- Chair. Prayer by Rev. Wm. M. Crumley- Roll called, and while the proceedings of the previous day were boirg read, a messenger, Mr. DeGratt’enreid, Private Secretary to the Governor, entered the House and said: Mr. Speaker— l am directed by His Ex cellency, the Provisional Governor, to trans mit to this branch of the General Assembly a communication in writing, with accom panying documents: . - Ex. Orrica Provisional Governor; 1 State or Ukvroia, I Atlanta, July 9, 1868.) To Me Senate and Houee of Reprieentatieev ; A joint eouunittee of vhe General Assembly having informed me that an organiialion of tho House had been perfected by the election of officers, tbe fact was promptly communicated to the General Commanding the District, asking instructions. The following commuuiaatiun has, thia morn ing, bien TecelvW, M which, with the tWer No. 52, referred to, your careful attention is invited. (Here read General Meade's letter of the Bth, and Goners! Order April 6th, 1868.) It will be observed that until proper measures have been taken and been perfected to ascertain the eligibility of each member and officer, no legal act can be done by your body ; only such as are guaiiied'belßg legal Senators, members or officers. In view of tbe foregoing, I would renpeotfully recommend that aoommittoo be appointed In each House for the investigation es the facte. Vader the sot of Congress which became a law Juno 25th, 1868, no person is eligible who, previou* to tho rebellion, held an office aud took an official oath to support tho of the United Elates and afterwAds gave aid or comfort to tho enemies of the United Fnftes, unless such person shall hare been relieved of that disability by act ot Ueugnss ; anti a earoful investigation should be made, that the authorities may bo satullod that tho laws have been complied with. It will bo remembered that the question as to whether thoconstitutional amendment, known aS article Id, is of force, does not apply, because the act of Congress, jindcr whiyh you have been convened, specially fixes the qnalibcation re ferred to. , . , . . This act ot CmsgreM is herewith transtnittod In General Order No- 34, from the Uaadquartcrs pf tha Armies of the United States. r I Ruses B. IfotMCK, • • Provisional Governor. I.ETTIR FROM OKN.

Bullock, • Prooiiioual Governor of Georgia. ifovsmuin—l have to acknowledge the receipt of ynur letter of thia date, advising me that you have been offioially informed that the two Houses of ibeLegielaturo had pcrteoied their organisation and were awaiting any communication you might hai* tu mske, and that accordingly you referred Jo iga.fbr instructions. Iu reply, I b«g leave- to stale that I have no instruction* to svo you, further than to make known, that in my judgment, neither House is Organised legally until they have complied with the requisition of tho Reconstruction Acts, and tho Act Which prohibits any one holding an office under the State who is excluded by Beetion Jd of the Amendment to the Constitution known as iArrtcle 14. ‘ That this view Is not a novel one with me, and tloes net arise from any eoasideration but my desire to execute th* lasts, wi.l I* ajearly seen by reference to the accomp uiyp'S General Order No. 62, of April 6th, 1868, in which I announced to the people of Georgia, and candidates for eltc lionj uiy views of the eligibility of candidates Under the laws of Congress. It is not my pur pose to dietale to the two Houses how or when they will apply this test to tho several members. Ordinarily each House is undoubtedly the judge of the qualifications of its members, but in view jof the fact that the Legislature, until the State is admitted, by compliance with tho require ment* of the Acts of Congress, is only Provi sional, and subject to the authority of the Dis trict; Commander; and, in view cf the further fact,’that it is iny duty, so long as Military Government exists, to see tkabthelaw be faith fully executed, I feel constrained to say that I cannot recognise any set of- tho Legislature as valid, nor allow the same to bo executed, until satisfactory evidence is produced that persons exohtded by the 14th Article are deprived of their seats or offices in both Houses. ■ You hare been furnished from these Headquar ters, for transmission to their respective Houses, the d<>QhDen.ts in the cases of several members, whoso seats are contested on this ground, and there is, doubtless, other Information on the same subject. My only object no* is that yon may commas nieate these views to both Houses, leaving to each to take Buch action as it may deem suitable and proper. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, Guobgb G. Mxai>», Major General Comnmudiug. f After the reading of the communication, the following resolution was introduced by Mr. <1 f Neal, of Lowndes: JteM/lrea, That there be a committee of seven appointed by the House, whose duty lit shall be tu proceed immediately to inves-, tigate the case of each member ,of this House, and report the facts in reference to the eligibility of each under the act of Congress referred to in the message of his Excellency, the Governor, Mid that said committee have power to send for persons and papers, and to swear and take evidence of witnesses who, under the laws of this State and of the United States, are compe tent witnesses in civil cases. Mr. O'Neal supported his resolution in remarks of some length. Mr. Tumlin, of Randolph, offered the following as a substitute : Hesolvetl, That by the Constitution of this State this House is lhe judge, and only judge of.the election, qualification, and return of its members. 2d. That in the opinion of this House, by virtue of the provisions of the reconstruction -ucU of Congress, the members were elected under the Constitution of this State, and bold their offides respectively by virtue of that I nst ru inent. 3d. That in the opinion of this House, it was not competent lor the Congress of the United States to enatd a law after the elec tion of this Legislature, defining the teyinS upon which they hold their office} or to pro t,mjts for wmbeis winch are not contained in the Constitution of th : s State. Mr. Phillips, of Echols, offered the follow ing substitute, also: Resolved, TTiat a Cbnimitted of nine be appwnted by the Speaker, one from each Congressional District, and two from the State at large, and that the Speaker appoint on said Committee four Democrats and four .Republicans, and that the Chairman of said committee be a Conservative. After a rambling debate, Mr. O’Neal's resolution was adopted—and the •Hunse adjourned. COMM ER CI A L.

Decision of Chancellor Shackelford in the Great Medical College Case—Drs. Jen nlfgt, Use and Jones Sustained. On Tuesday morning, Chancellor Shack blford delivered an elaborate written opinion upon the points involved in this ease, from which we make the following extract. After reviewing the facts of tho case, and referring to the questions made by -the parlies, he was of opinion: 1. That no contract or agreement made between the parties composing the origihal faculty, before they procured the lease of the Medical College from the University of Nashville, can be looked to in determining the rights of the parties. X That this lease made by the University of Nashville to Drs. Watson, Buchanan, Bowling, Winston, Porter, Lindsley and their successors, on-the 19th October, 1850, is the only thing that can bo looked to, and it does not, in law, create a partnership in the legal sense of the term ; therefore tho court cannot appoint a receiver, as it might have done, to take charge of partnership property and cluse up the firm, but, 3. The lease having been made to those parties and their successors, it was not tho intention of the University of Nashville to vest in them any right of property in the Modieal College, but simply the right to coniuct a Medical School in the property leased ; and this right was vested alike in them and their successors. 0 4. And, therefore, upon the death of any one of them his interest in the institution did not descend to his personal or real represeuative, nor Was it liable to his debts during his life time, neither did it survive to the original reuiaining lessees. 5. For by the terms of the lease, when a chair became vacant, or a new one was created, the faculty of the Medical Depart ment bad ili£ right to nominate the party to fill it, but when nominated, he became- a “successor” in the language of the lease, was embraced in its provisions, drew bis powers and privileges frofn it, and the university which granfotl it became at once eqnal to and independent of the other members of the faculty as fully as though he had been named in the lease instead of being embraced under the term successor. 6. In as much ns complainants, Jennings, Eve, and Jones, have been regularly con stituted “successors” iu accordance with tire term of said law, they are entitled, to all the rights, privileges, and perquisites, arising from their partnership, and as the power creating the Medical College has not provided any mode by which they can be expelled, no snob power exists either on tho part of the University of Nashville which yielded up all control over the Medical College during the existence of the law, nor on the part of the original lessees because they did not exercise any such power under the provisions of the law. 7. Therefore, the act of defendants, Bow ling, Lindsley, Winston, aud Briggs, in attempting to expel Dr. Jennings, and to vacate the chairs of Dpctofs Eve and Jones, was unauthorized, and not warranted by the provisions of the lease, er the powers vested in them. That the conrptainauH, Jennings, Eve, and Jones are entitled to fill the several chairs iu tho College, to which they have been respectively appointed, and are entitled to be protected in the enjoyment of their rights and privileges pertaining thereto. That the defendants, Bowling, Lindsley, Winston and Briggs, he enjoined and re strained from interfering or molesting them, and that they Ire permitted to lecture in the College, enjoying all the rights and privi leges pertaining to their chairs, mid bearing their proportion of the expenses of the insti tution. 8- And as a result of the foregoing princi ples lhe Court is further of opinion that the appointment of Doctors Maddio, Calender, Nichol, Buchanan, Van S. Lindsley, and H. M. Compton wns unauthorized and void ; that it was done in violation of the injunc tion of this Court, mid they havo acquired no rights thereby ; that they are intruders and will be enjoined from lecturing or inter fering with the complainants, Jennings, Eve, and Jones, in their duties as Professors in said college, and a decree will be entered in conformity with this opinion. “ WIIIIE NIGGERS AND SCALA WAGS." Among the epithets applied to white republicans these are prominent, and none to us were deemed more degrading or offensive by those who made use of them, iu order to evince their malignant feelings towards a small body of their fellow citizens, than “white liigger and scalawag.” But curses came home to most. Evil inventions return lo plague the inventor. He who wields the sword by (be sword shall die; and it has come to pass that the rebels them selves are preparing to become “ white niggers and scalawags.” They are ready to accept negro suffrage. They are willing to allow the negro to vote, ’and are anxious to get his vote. They are stepping upon the negro platform and. putting on the garb of scalawags. They are eating dirt and putting themselves on a “social equality” with colored men. To what base uses may we come at last, Hcratio? Behold 1 these are the men who belonged to the white man’s party I who would upt speak to a white republican, but prated of their superior intelligence, wealth, learning and position in society I—these are tbe base, crawling, whipped, whining curs who now step upon our platform, eat tbeir own vile words and beg for a few political crumbs of comfort from the very “white niggers and scalawags whom they have reviled and slandered. We mean what we say of these men, be cause they meant what they said of us. The colored people understand it all- The white Republican who boldly planted himself on principle, neither degraded himself nor changed his color; but he commanded the respect and sympathy of every true man, white and black, iu the State, but look at this picture. Here is a rebel, who has per secuted the loyal whits man,'and sought to starve the colored ; who has used the laws to degrade both, so far as he could, and studied lexicons to discover epithets of abuse to be applied to each; who has threatened blood shed, and insulted the white women of the land by talking of social equality; who now puts on the di vil’s east off skin, and comes out a ne«ro suff/age Democrat. This is the “white nigger," sure enough—one so mean that no colored man will vote for him, or give him the band of fellowship—a scala-. wag, so bw that tbe Takings of the infernal regions will show no counterpart to him. He is one who is a liar, a hypocrite, a slanderer, a coward, a plunderer of public money, a rebel, a “white nigger,” a scalawag, a dou ble-headed beast, and a false-tongued demon of darkness. — Raleigh Standard. A Paris letter says that news has been received from Rome of the ripening of a Bourbonist Conspiracy in Southern Italy which is intended to restore Francis, the son of the late Ferdinand, to the throne of the two Sicilies. There is a man iu Jersey City so mean that he buttons his shirt with wafers. He looks at his money through a magnifying glass.

At the acceptance of the nomination, Sey mour raid : “It was my ambition to take an active part, from which I am now excluded, in the great struggle going on for the restoration of the general <overiiment and prosperity to our country, but I have been caught by tie overwhelming tide th'uLi* bearing us on to a great change, arid I find myself unable to resist its pressure.” Blair said: “We are about entering on a contest for the restoration of the Union, the principles of the Constitution, and the preservation of the white race from the domination of a semi-barbarous people.” Secretary of Treasury issued orders en forcing eight hour law in that department.
