If you will plant a few Jamestown weeds

sugar one pint of water, and thefr put one
ounce of cobalt into the water, and then
drop four drops of this mixture into the
bloom of the Jamestown weed, you can kill
every tobocco fly on your place ere they
hatch worms. By destroying the pestiferous
fly, you can raise your tobacco crop with one.

The Fall Trade.
The prospects of the Fall trade are some
what brighter than they were a year ago,
although the Government bonds held abroad
and the uncertainty as to the manner of their
payment, may cause a derangement of the
commercial equilibrium. A return to specie
payments alone will give trade a sure aud
certain basis.
The bankrupt act has weeded out a large
number of insolvent and criminal merchants.
It has given relief to others who were fully
entitled to its benefits, and has enabled to
return to trade many honest men who had
been for years kept back by Jthe pressure of
old liabilities.
The Ordinary’! Dqliet.
The new Constitution of Georgia creates
a number of important changes in our
county organizations. The Inferior and
County Courts are abolished, and the duties
of the Inferior Court are imposed upon the
Ordinary. This transfer of authority makes
the position of Ordinary a very responsible
and important one. In addition to his
present duties will be the following :
1. In directing and controlling all the
property of the county.
2. In levying a general and special tax
for county purposes.
3. In establishing, altering and abolishing
all roads, bridges and ferries.
4- In establishing and changing election
precinets and militia districts.
5. In supplying by appointment all
vacancies in county offices and ordering
elections to fill them.
6. In examining, settling and allowing
all_claims against the county.
7. In examining and auditing the amounts
of all officers of the county and bringing to
account, etc.
8. In providing for the poor, county police,
health, quarantine, etc.
Renta- • *sh’
For years, with; a few focal or temporary
exceptions, real estate in this city has been
paying to its owners a larger per centage
than any other equally safe investment, to
say nothing of the fact that it has been con
stantly increasing in value at the rate of from
ten to twenty-five per cent a year, and yet, so
long were landlords in the habit of raising
their rents on the first of October or whenever
their leases expired, that the custom has
become chronie. This year, however, many
dealers, botk wholesale and retail, and
hundreds of families, will find themselves
with the balance on the wrong side (S
the profit aud loss account, and feel
that retrenchment must commence some
where. On receiving the customary notice
“that rents have advanced since last
year,” wholesale dealers remonstrate; retailers
say that they shall.be obliged to return as
journeymen to their trades ; and heads of
families announce their determination to
remove to the country. Landlords generally
arc inexorable ; they have hoard such threats
before, and throw out hints of other tenants
standing ready to take possession ol vacated
property. For once they will be deceived.
Ice Waler*
The following simple method of keeping
ice water for a long time in a common
pitcher is worth knowing; I’laco between
two sheets of paper (newspaper will answer,
thick brown is better), a layer of cotton
batting about half au inch in thickness, fasten
the ends of paper and| batting together,
forming a circle, then sew or paste a crown
over one end, making a box the shape of a
stovepipe hat, minus the rim. Place this
over au ordinary pitcher filled with ice water,
making it deep , enough tq rest on the table,
so as to exclude the air, and the reader will
be astonished at the length of time his ice
will keep, and the waler remain cool after
the ice is melted.

The Latest Fashions.
As a matter of some interest to our lady
readers, we publish the following descrip
tion of the latest Parisian fashions, which,
of course, will be adopted on this side of
the water t
The newest head dresses and neglige
caps are very pert and coquettish. I hey
look like a horseshoe caul behind; the
front is raised with a diadem of ruffled
lace, which stands up ; nothing but a pale
pink ribbon is run across. The Style
called herisse by French modistes is very
prevalent, indeed, for head gear, espe
cially bonnets. Herisse implies bristling
up styles; but a /wr/sse-Louis XV is a
bonnet having on the front of a fanchon, ~
just on the top, a tuft of lovely flowers, out
of which spike leaves and rushes and firm
grass prickle high.
The boxes of our elegantes leaving for
the different thermal establishments arc
very voluminous, and what hiakes them
more so is the new style of short skirts*
which renders boots and shoes to match a
necessity. One lady carries no less than
forty pairs of boots and shoes, and, besides,
funs and parasols are selected for every
toilet.
The latter are’either trimmed with the
same lace as that on the costume, or worked
with the same flowers as those worn. It is a
most fastidious affair, and thp wonder is what
time is left for women to think of more
serious matters than everlasting dress.
Black silk is, as usual, indispensable, but
so tastefully made that there is more beauty
io- a black toilet thau in any other.
The overskirts arc elaborately looped and
embroidered with flowers, overfrilled with
blue, violet, maize, and lavender frilled
under petticoats of taffeta.
The casaque, for the seatide, is a tight
polonaise, also forming an overtuuic. Some
are made of very light silks, over red cur
rant-colored petticoats and orange shades.
These are as conspicuous as a dame tripping
about in high boots and with a long walking
stick can desire. Black cashmere, or black
Scotch merino, worked with flowers, or much
trimmed with black satin, has been made up
for rainy days at the chateaux.
The style in favor with fast ladies is-plain
white muslin, with a flounce around the
bottom, plenty of muslin flounce on under
skirts, shoes aud high heels, sashes and
fichus, no vestige of crinoline.
The newest fan is made in the shape of a
horse-shoe. It is very ugly, but has free
currency, being all the vogue since Earl won
the grand prize. Another vogue is more
extravagant, and in the furnishing line.
Satin chairs are now embroidered strawberry
patterns, with boquets of delicately tinted
ftuits, and leaves on white. Reception rooms
are striped green and white silk, with full
blown brocade nosegays. Doudoirs are blue
satin, with full blown roses. Redrooms are
cluuy and muslin over pink, blue or cerillc.
Phillipa’ Provision Exchange.
Cincinnati, July 17, 1868.
Editor National Republican :
The provision market early in the week was
buoyant', aud holders succeeded in establishing
a further advance in most articles of the Hog
product. This, however, checked the demand
from consumers, and speculators withdrew. The
cessation of the deman J caused some anxiety on
the part of a few holders to realize, and as most
of the orders were either filled or withdrawn, the
market ruled heavy, and though concessions
were made, it did not lead to any increase in
business. The market closed dull, and still
lower prices would have to be accepted in order
to effect sales of any magnitude ; while holders
in many cases were careless about selling, it
would be difficult to buy to any extent at my
quotations. «
MESS PORK, early in the week, advanced to
$29, but at the close, S2B would bare been ac
cepted. No buyers over $27.50 to 27.75, for city
brands.
LARD also advanced, and sold at 18c. At the
close, it is offered at 17}c, without buyers.
BULK MEATS were in fair demand during
the greater part of the week, and holders suc
ceeded in establishing an advance. At the close
they wort neglected. Shoulders offered at lljc,
and sides ,4c ; clear rib and clear nominal, at 15
and 154 c—all loose.
BACON sympathized with. Bulk Meats is
quiet at my quotations: shoulders 13c; clear rib
sides 16jc; clear 17c; Hams qtriet—plain 17e;
second pickle 18c; 8. C. 19 to 20}c, canvassed
and packed.
DRIED BEEF—lßal9c.
PLATE BEEF—SI9a2O.SO.
EXPORTS—Of the week were 1,184 barrels
and U 32 kegs Lard ; 471 hogsheads, 652 tierces,
and 42,339 pounds Balk and Bacon ; 1,601 bar
rels Pork.
IMPORTS--188 barrels Lard; 16 hogsheads,
105 tieroes Bulk’and Bacon ; an d ' 738 barrels
Pork.
FREIGHTS—NominaI and unchanged.

[From Onr Own Correspondent
OUR ATLANTA LETTER.
Atlanta, Ga., July 18, 1868.
Mr. Editor : Since my last, the Senate
has done nothing worthy of note.
The Governor sent in a message trans
mitting certain records of evidence in the
cases of contested seats, but the message wa 9
not rpad. I sec it, however ip the papers of
this city, and, trusting that you may obtain
a copy from that source, I deem it unneces
sary to repeat it in this communication.
Nothing else has been heard in relation to
the handing of the papers connected with
the Senate’s Investigating Committee.
After passing a few unimportant resolu.
tions, the Senate adjourned to Monday
morning next.
In the House, Mr. Shumate resumed his
argument in response to Mr. Bryant, of
Richmond. He was quite short, aud upon
his taking his seat, Mr. Harpef of Terrell,
and Mr. O’Neal of Lowndes, both claimed
the floor, which was awarded by the Speaker
to Mr. Harper, who at once called the pre
vious question.
Messrs. O’Neal, Bryant and Caldwell
protested, nnd begged Mr. 11. to withdraw
the call; but urged on by his friends, he
persistently refused.
The call was sustnined, aud the vote on
adopting the minority report, which declared
Messrs. McCullough, Long and Nunn enti
tied to their seats, was taken up, and, by a
vote on the two latter cases, by the sound it
was found to be carried, and then the case
of Mr. McCullough enme to be voted on by
ayes and nays, and resulted—ayes 100, nays
48. So he was declared eligible.
Immediately, there was a resolution to
appoint a committee of three, to wait on His
Excellency, Governor Bullock, and inform
him of the action of the House.
Mr. Caldwell proposed to amend, by saying
the committee should lay before His Excel*
iency ail the documents, papers and evidence
fn all tire cases investigated, which, by a
system of parliamentary tactics, was ruled
out of order. So the original resolution
appointing a committee of three to wait on
His Excellency, etc., was agreed to, an'd
Messrs. Shumate, Caldwell and Rainey were
appointed the committee. It is understood
this committee will call ou the Governor this
afternoon.
Mr. Caldwell now offered his resolution
as an original proposition—to refer the
papers, etc., to Gov. Bullock—and he pro
ceeded in a lengthy speech to advocate his
resolution. He set out by saying that he
was not here to question the authority of
Gen. Meada, or to speak of the constitu
tionality or unconstitutionality of the Re.
construction laws, but simply to deal with
facts—stern though they be, unflinching as
they are—be considered them kind and
humane to the South, and however dis
tasteful they may be to gentlemen on
the other side, still they must be complied
with. He concluded by saying, “we have
but one more river to cross, and then we
will'be at home.” Perform the last crow
ing act, which was apparent through the
original Reconstruction act and all the
Supplements, and then we shall be tree—
free as Ohio, free as Massachusetts, etc.
Time and space forbid me following the
reverend gentleman any further. At the
close of his speech the point of order was
raised that, unless the House would, by a
two-thirds vole, agree to take up the
resolution, it must lie over. Leaving the
matter' in this condition, ihe House ad
journed.
If the Republicans expect to do any
thing—to carry any of their measures, they
must learn wisdom by this day’s experience-
They must study parliamentary tactics, and,
by watchfulness, concentration of effort, and
punctual attendance upon the sessions of the
House, meet the opposition at every
point.
The following positions taken by Mr.
Bryant, of Richmond, in the debate yester
day, may not be uninteresting to your
readers. ■
Mr. Bryant, of Richmond, said that when
he was first appointed a member of the
committee tp investigate the eligibility of
members of this House, he regretted it
because he knew that if any membe r was
deprived of his seat it would be an old
citizen of the State, and as he had recently
become a Georgian he did not. wish to sit
in judgment on these old citizens, but that
he was now glad that he had been a mem
ber of the committee because it had enabled
him to know the members of the House
better than he could have known them if he
had not been a member of the committee.
This was perhaps the most important ques
tion that would be brought before the House.
We propose to deeide who are entitled to
seats on this floor. We propose to decide
whether any person now here is disquali
tied under the Acts of Congress from sitting
as a member of this House. What ques
tion can be more important ? If I know
my heart, 1 have not acted as a partisan
in this investigation, and I will not.
Three things are necessary to disqunlify
a member. He must have held an office
prior to the war, have taken an oath to
support the Constitution of the United
States, and afterward given aid and com
fort to the enemies thereof.
Mr. Bryant proceeded to argue that Mr.
McCulloch, of Jones, was disqualified.
He read from Bauvier to show what was
considered giving aid and comfort, and
closed by appealing to members to act in
accordance with the law and the facts, and
not allow partisan feelings to control them.

. —The harbor of Sabastopool, it is stated,
will be completely free from tbe obstructions
caused by the sunken vessels at the opening
of the navigation in 1869. On the Bth of
May the hull of tbe Sviatoslay was raised
from the bottom, and the remains of the
other submerged vessels, the Czesm, the
Maria,and the Rostislav, will, it is expected,
be recovered in the course of the summer.
As several of these vessels are sunk at great
depths, the Russian papers state that tbe
harbor will be navigable some months before
the diving operations are completed.

recent case of Suttee, in the Cawnpore Dis

Georgia Legislature. •
Atlanta, July 20. —The Senate received
a message from the Governor, stating that
the repqrt of the committee raised to investi
gate the eligibility of Senators, under an
act of Congress to admit the State of Georgia,
etc., together with the evidence taken, were
transmitted to tho Commanding General,and
the following reply received from General
Meade:
Governor—l acknowledge the receipt of
yours of the 17fh instant, transmitting tho
action of the Senate on tbe eligibility of its
members under the fourteenth Article of the
Constitutional Amendment, and objecting to
some on the ground of the admission of cer
tain members, who, in the judgement of tbe
minority of the committee aud yourself, are
ineligible. In reply I beg leave to state, that
the subject matter of yohr communication
will be held by me for consideration, and
action will be deferred till officially advised
of the course pursued by the House of
Representatives on the same subject.
On motion the message was laid on the
table, aud Senate adjourned.
In the House a resolution to send to the
Governor the papers, documents and evi.
dence in cases of the ineligibility of its mem
bers, was defeated.
The committee appointed to report action
of the House on eligibility of its members to
to the Governor, reported that they had
performed their duty, and that the Governor
wonld transmit the report to the Command
ing General.
Veto.
Washington, July 20.—1 n vetoing the
Electoral College bill the President maintains
that tbe Southern States were never out es
the Union, and asserts that they were ptaeti
ealiy aud constitutionally restored previous
to March, 1867. In narrating the provisions
of the Constitution the President says: "The
joint resolution by implication, at least, con
siders that these States were States by virtue
of their organization prior to the fourth of
March, 1867, but denied to them the right to
vote in the election of President and Vice
President of the United States; it follows
either t hat this assumption of power is wholly
unauthorized by the Constitution, or that the
States so excluded from voting were ont of
the Union by reason of the rebellion, and
have never been legitimately restored. Being
fully satisfied that they were never out of the
Union, and that their relations thereto have
been legally and constitutionally restored, I
am forced to the conclusion that the joint
resolution which deprives them of the right
to have their vote tor President and Vice
President received and counted is in conflict
with the Constitution, and that Congress
has no more power to reject their votes than
those of the States which have been uniformly
loyal to the Federal Union. It is worthy of
remark, that if the States whose inhabitants
were recently in rebellion, were legally and
constitutionally organized and restored to
their rights prior to the 4th of March, 1867,
as I am satisfied they were, the only legiti
mate authority under which the election for
and Vice President can be held
therein, must be derived from the govern
ments instituted before that period, it clearly
follows that all the State Governments
organized in those States under Acts of
Congress for that purpose, ami under military
control, are illegitimate, and of no validity
whatever; and in that view, the votes cast
in those States for President and Vice
President, in pursuance of Acts passed since
the 4th of March, 1867, and in obedience to
the so called Reconstruction Acts of Con
gress, can not be. legally received and
counted, while the only votes in those States
that can he legally cast and counted will be
those cast in pursuance of the laws in force
in the several Slates prior to the legislation
by Congress upon the subject of reconstruc
tion.”
The President proceeds to argue that
the white people of the Southern States
were not in rebellion ; some people of the
Northern States were in rebellion-; and
that the pretext for exclusion applies logi
cally equally to New York and Virginia.
The message concludes; “If Congress
were to provide by law that the votes of
none of the States should be received and
counted if cast for a candidate who differed
in political sentiment with a majority of
the two Houses, such legislation would at
once be condemned by the country as an
unconstitutional and revolutionary usurpa
tion of power. It would, however, be.
exceedingly difficult to find in the Constitu
tion any more authority for the passage
of tho joint resolution under consideration
than for an enactment looking directly to
the ejection of all votes not in accordance
with the political preferences of a majority
of Congress. No power exists in the Con
stitution authorizing the joint resolution or
the supposed law; tho only difference
being that we would be more palpably
unconstitutional and revolutionary than the
Other. Both would rest upon the radiant
error that Congress has the power to pro
scribe terms and conditions to the right of
the people of the States to cast their votes
for President and Vice President.”
Order from Secretary Seward.
Washington, July 20.—Sec’y Seward
addresses a letter “L’q whom it may con-
stating that Congress, in June,
1860, passed a resolution proposing the
amendment known as the Fourteenth Arti
cle, which Ire quotes.
Seward states that tho Act of 1818,
requires the Secretary of State to publish
amendments when adopted; but no act
authorizes the Secretary to determine and
decide doubtful questions as-to the authen
ticity of the organization of State Legisla
tures or the power of any State Legislature
to recall previous ratification. Twenty
three States have ratified the amendment;
also, bodies avowing themselves as Legis
latures of Arkansas, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Florida, Louisiana, and Alabama.
It appears further that Ohio and New
Jersey have withdrawn thoir assent The
efficacy of this withdrawal is doubtful.
Whole number of States, thirty seven.
He then proclaims the amendment
adopted, provided the original resolutions
of Ohio and New Jersey are valid, notwith
standing their withdrawal.
Washington Items.
Washington, July 19.—The President
issued two proclamations, announcing, in
accordance with the requirements of the
Omnibus Admission bill, the adoption by
South Carolina and Louisiana of the Four
teenth Article. They have the same ex
pressions of doubt in regard to the legality
of the Legislatures, and the authenticity of
ratifieation.
Washington, July 20.—The Senate has
confirmed R. W. Mullins as Collector of
Customs at Teche, Louisiana.
T. H. Smith, as Internal Revenue Col
lector of the Ist South Carolina District, was
rejected.
A. R. Wallace is confirmed as Postmaster
at Montgomery, Ala.
Alabama Legislature.
Montgomery, July 20.—1 n the Senate, to
day, Mr. Pennington offered a resolution
looking to tbe removal of disabilities imposed
on State voters- The State Constitution'
disfranchises all whom the 14th amendment
forbids holding office. His resolution was
adopted by il arge vote. It provides for
ihe appointment of a Joint Committee to
report at once.
The legislation is mostly of a local char
acter.
■ Congressional.
Washington, July 26.— Senate: Tbe
rights of naturalized citizens abroad was
discussed all day, interrupted only by reading
the veto, and passage of the College bill
notwithstanding, 45 to 8. The Southern
Senators, except Pool, who was absent,
voting with the majority.
After an Executive session, Senate ad
joorned.
House: The credentials of Lash, from
North, and Bowen, from (South Carolina, was
referred to the Election Committee.
Jones presented a bill extending the pro-*
visions of the law passed July 4th, 1864,
limiting the jurisdiction of the Court o
Claims over North Carolina. Referred to the
Judiciary Committee.
Vinnie Ream was restored to her studio in
the Capitol bv resolution.
' Eldridge, of Wisconsin asked leave to offer
a resolution requesting the Secretary of War
to communicate to the House the names of
all.persons under sentence of Military Com
mission or Court Martial, at the Dry Tor
tugas, a list of the crimes with which such
persons are charged, and the names of
persons in confinement, by order of Military
Commissions, at Atlanta, Ga., and Charles
ton, S. C.
Schofield, of Pennsylvania, objected.
Eldridge then withdrew his resolution.
Lash and Bowen were seated.
Mullins, opposing Bowen, said; Bowen
was born iu Ohio, and weut to South Carolina
ten or fifteen years ago. When the rebellion
broke out, he voluntarily went into the
Confederate service, and accepted tho oom
mission of captain ; "was subsequently pro
moted to major, probably for his gallantry in
shooting down Union men. While a major
(Mullins was reliably informed),Bowen killed
his rebel colonel, but of that be (Mullins)
could not complain. For this act, Bowen
was incarcerated and put in irons, but was
released when the Federal troops advanced.
He then had one of two things to do—either
be hung, or join the Federal forces. He did
the latter, and Mullius was informed by Gen.
Siekles himself that, in the Federal army,
Bowen acted so badly that ho had to be
incarcerated by Federal authority. When
the war was. over, he became a Radical and
adopted the faith of franchise for the black
man. He bad no disposition to oppose the
pardon of men who showed proper penitence,
but lie would not reward treason by making
these people rulers over us us soon as they
came back. He doubted much whether the
House was pursuing the proper policy in the
matter.
The Electoral College bill was passed by
a vote of 134 to 36, after which the House
adjourned.
Texas Matters.
New Orleans, July 19.—Later accounts
from Millican, Texas, report the disturbance
not yet at an end. The negroes have sent
defiant replies to the orders from tire civil
officers and-ageuts of the Freedmen’s Bureau
to disperse. There is but a small squad of
soldiers on the spot.
Louisiana Legislature,
New Orleans, July 19.—:1n the Legisla
ture, yesterday, a bill wus read establishing
a parish constabulary force, to consist of
not less- than twenty nor Nnoae than one
hundred members in each parish, the officers
and members of which are required to take
the test oath, in addition to tlm Constitu
tional oath.
