Our City-
Those who do not frequently ride through
the suburbs and surroundings of Augusta
can lorm no just conception of its improve
ment and advancement, lu all directions
are to he seen the unmistakable evidences of
our city’s progress. Streets extended and
graded, and houses in process of erection,
show that our population is increasing, and
that Augusta is holding its own among the
cities of the South.
In many respects Augusta has great and
superior advantages. On the score of health,
it will rank with any city of its size in the
Union, as the mortuary reports will show.
To encourage and foster manufactures of
all kinds would give a permanent prosperity
to our beautiful city. Whatever gives con
stant employment to the large population
attracted hither, promotes the general pros
perity. If capitalists would expend their
means in the development of these material
interests, and back the skilled labor that is
attracted here by our superior advantages,
Augusta may, at no distant day, become a
second ‘Lowell.’
When the public mind is once directed to
a great object of interest here it generally is
efficient to the accomplishment of that end.
The building of our water-works, and our
city railway, so much objected to at first,
are examples of this character. They were
opposed at almost every step, but now our
people would not give them up on any
account. Let ns get up a new excitement —
let us awaken fully and fairly to the neces
sity of fostering and'* sustaining manufac
turers of all kinds. Get our people once
aroused on this subject, and Augusta would,
in five years, make such progress as she has
never dreamed of iu her history.

The Weather.
Ou Sabbath-day the weather was hot
enough to afford any one an excuse that
I was at least decent for non-attendance on
Divine worship. None of the churches
were thronged. Fans were in great
demand, of the largest periphery, and
uneasy, perspiring sleepers were not a few.
Neither excellent sermons, nor great per
sonal exertion could insure a state of
wakefulness. But. people did not absent
themselves from the church for the sake of
the country. Most preferred to remain at
home, attired in as few garments as
decency would allow, and the day was
spent in vain wishes that a thunder storm
would come up, or that a breeze would
arise. Cooling drinks were called for and
ice cream saloons were frequented. Even
the Germans faded to get out in large
[numbers to the Hills, and the places
[great teutonic resort were much less
[thronged than usual. Only die cemetery
[was visited, -and that, a multitude as
[numerous as the fishes filled. After
[sundown, children and grown people alike>
[went into the streets, tired out by the
| confinement of the day, and restless from
| the heat. It was far into the night when
| the city became at length quiet, for people
I still found it hard, in spite of the day, to
I sleep in a temperature of 88 or 90 degrees.
| A New Euierprlae.
Some of our enterprising families, pos-
I aessing moderate means and desiring an
active life, are engaged in cultivating fleas.
The business is said to be flourishing and
very lively. All the eapital needed to start
successfully is a mangy edb, the yield from
which is something astonishing. Os course,
with more dogs, you get more fleas—the
more enterprising generally owning two, if
not three. There is no risk of failure in
starting in the business, as it has been
thoroughly tested in the suburbs of some of
our larger cities. Iu New York, the police
Bre enabled to determine the financial condi
tion of the flea culturist by the number of
dogs he owns. A poor man always owns
°ne; a eery poor man owns two; and a
cussed" poor man is the possessor of three
or more dogs.

The Georgia Legislature.
9
Atlanta, Ga., August 8,1868 k
SENATE.
Mr. Higbee stated that he wanted to
introduce a minority report from the
Committee on Eligibility of Members.
Mr. Atkins moved that the intUter be
postponed until Wednesday, and that fifty
copies of the majority and minority reports
bo printed.
Mr. Candler said he agreed with much
of what the Senator had said. The fact as
stated in these reports was that there was
a person holding his seat here who was
not entitled to it. It was not whether he
was a black man or a white man, but that
he was a member. He thought that they
could vote intelligibly, on the question
to-day, and it was not sufficient reason for a
postponement, that there were some
Senators absent. He wanted them to vote
not upon a white man or a black man, but
to vote upon the plain question that there
was a man here who’was accused of felony,
and whether he was guilty or not of the
crime charged. I shall not limit a due
consideration of the question, but we must
have justice and nothing more.
Mr. Brock thought the proposition of the
Senator on his right was a fair one—to
postpone tho matter to Wednesday. From
the report made by the Committee, ho
would state now that he would vote for the
expulsion of Mr. Bradley, but he thought
that due consideration ought to be given to
it, and that the reports should be printed,
so that Senators could read them over and
be able to judge of them without prejudice.
I say now that I am compelled to vote to
exclude him from his scat here, but it is
due to him and to us that he should have
justice done him.
Mr. Smith, of the 7th District, offered, as
a substitute, that it be postponed itatil lujF’
day, as he thought the nature of the case
demanded that it should not be postponed
too long.
Mr. Nunnally.—l may not have consented
to the proposition, but I am satisfied that
there is no necessity for it. It there was
any considerable testimony in the case, there
might be, but it consists altogether in the
record of a court and one witness. On the
Bth of July, I offered a resolution to investi
gate these charges, but 1 will not say what
reason it was that prevented me from getting
it up, and 1 was afraid the same motive that
prevented then wilt prevent it now also. I
would 10-dtiy have yielded, if the testimony ■
was so numerous as not to give the Senators
an opportunity of understanding, but such is
not the case. I have known graver questions
than thin before juries of the country, and
they had to decide upon it in an hour or
two. Ido hope this resolution will not pre
vail- lam no longer willing that we should
be censured, but we will be censured, and
ought to be censured, if we persevere in our
present course. There is no law necessary
in this case; it is but a simple question of
the State of Georgia. If we had to pile up
law books to enlighten the Senators on the
question ; but when it is contained in a sim
ple article in the Constitution, there is no
reason at all for postponement. 'The country
demands the matter settled, the Constitution
of the State requires it.
Mr. Campbell spoke in favor of the motion
to postpone.
Mr. Brock rose to say that the Constitu
tion did not define what an offence was, and,
therefore, they had to have recourse to the
law.
Mr. Holcombe Was recognized by the
Chair.
Mr. Bradley rose to a point of order.
The President pro tern. decided the Senator
out of order.
Mr. Holcombe —I am sorry that some of
the friends of postponement have not been
able to offer a reasonable excuse for that
postponement. He read the sections of the
Constitution bearing upon the eligibility of a
Senator, and went on to say: Now. what
are the charges? He has been guilty of a
crime for which he was sent to the New York
State prison. We have the record of the
Court, and we have a witness to prove his
identity. If we have any doubt as to the
witness, let him be called up here and exam
ined for the subject. There was a committee
appointed for the purpose of investigating
the charge brought against him. Every
where you go yon are asked why it is that
you allow a felon to sit in your body. lam
afraid the question of postponement is pro
posed through a motive that has not yet
been disclosed. I am afraid that there is
some person to be voted tor yet that the
accused is needed to vote for. I think I
know the testimony in that report almost by
heart now.
Mr. McArthur moved the previous ques
tion.
Mr. Bradley wished to ask a privileged
question. As he was the person accused, he
would ask Senators to postpone the case for J
the purpose ol giving him a dilutee of
examining the testimony. He was taken by
surprise. [Laughter.] If I thought I could
not stand the investigation. —
A message was presented from the House
announcing the passage of a bill regulating
the salaries of J udges of the Superior Court.
Mr. Bradley continued, when
Mr. Nunnally rose to a point of order.
The Chair decided the Senator (Bradley)
out of order.
'The call for the previous question was then
put and the votes counted on the question ol
postponement, when they stood—yeas 16,
nays 18. The motion was lost.
Mr. Candler moved the adoption of the
majority report.
Mr. Ilolqpmbe seconded the motion.
The report was, on motion, taken up and
read.
Mr. Bradley objected to the reading of the
papers in the case, while th*e report Os the
committee was being read.
The Chair decided him out of order.
Mr. Bradley rose tho second time to offer
another objection, which was ruled also out
of order, and the reading of the report was
proceeded with.
Mr. Higbee rose and moved the adoption
of the minority report as a substitute.
A message from the House was read,
announcing the passage of the resolution
requiring the Secretary of State and other
officers to hold their offices in the State
House building; also, the passage of a reso
lution authorizing the newly elected State
officers to proceed to Milledgeville and take
charge of the State House furniture and
other things connected with the State House
in that city.
Mr. Higbee then resumed his remarks,
which consisted in reading the minority
report, signed by himself and Mr. Campbell,
and a few written remarks.
Mr. Smith, of the Seventh District, said
he thought the proper course was to allow
the Senator charged to make his defence,
and allow him time to retire during the
remainder of the discussion. He moved
that Bradley be allowed to make his defence-
Mr. Bradley then rose and made his
defence. He was disappointed at being
called upon to make a defence, as he had
hoped he would be allowed time to prepare
himself for the occasion. It might be that
the decision of the Senate was right, but
he felt conscious that the case was his
His first point was, that. the Senate could
take no action because the 3d article which
they acted under, got its existence by and
through the Senate. He said that he, tn
common with other Senators, struck out the
relief measures of the Constitution, and if
he was ineligible, that action was uncon
stitutional. He asked them to give him
the benefit of every doubt. His second
point was, that the committee had failed to
present to you any law of New York upon
which they baaed their decision. He
tliought that a point worthy of considera
tion. It did not make any difference
whether ho was guilty or not, but it was
for them to decide whether he was guilty
or not. Tho Senator from tho Ist district
denies that he ever was found guilty of a
felony. He was tho author of the entire
half of their bill of rights. In order to
make a proper case, they should have pre
sented you with tho laws of the State of
Now York, and after that, they should
show that there was u conviction under
that law. They had omitted the law upon
which the case rested. It was only a
civil action-—not ovon a misdemeanor, in
the State of New York, and he defied any
lawyer to prove that it was. He wanted to
know then what authority there was on
record from the Court of New York, intro
duced to show that he was convicted. Some
gentlemen, even on the Republican side.,
had called ou him to resign. He would not
resign, but Iris constituents understood the
whole ease, and if he was turned loose
from the Senate, it would only be taken to a
higher position. Ho would call their
attention to another point, which was,
that he objected to the introduction of the
evidence in the case. He objected to its
being offered here against him. Do they
offer in evidence u£ uuy other State but the
record of the City Court of Brooklyn, and
that was such ns could not be introduced
hero. It should be the evidence taken in
a United States Court. He read article 4
of the Constitution of tho United States.
Would you cumber this Senate by intro
ducing any such evidence ? lam ashamed
of you. You trifle with the law, you trifle
with reason, you trifle with the Senate.
You have sworn to support no such law.
1 submit if your oath here to support the
Constitution of the United States, where it
says due consideration shall be given to the
public acts of officers, is fulfilled by taking
the record of two magistrates of the city of
New York.
Bradley continued. He commenced by
accusing the witness against him of
perjury.
Mr. Holcombe rose to u point of order,
Mr. Nunnally said that it was not right to
.. allow the witness to be aspersed on that
floor. The accused had a right to reproach
tho witness before the Committee, which
he failed to do.
The Chair decided the poiut well taken.
Mr. Bradley went on at some length to
talk about various matters, which, having
no bearing on the case,
He was culled to order by the Chair, who
desired him to confine himself to the
record.
After considerable excitement, the Senate,
on motion, adjoiirned'with the understanding
that Bradley shou|d have ohe-half hour on
Monday morning to defend himself previous
to the culling of the roll. Campbell and the
other staunch supporters of the accused
Bradley, took their hats, and walked out
. of the Chamber, thereby setting all Parlia
mentary rules at defiance.
The Senate adjourned to 10 o’clock
Monday.

Atlanta, Ga., August 10, 1868.
Bradley sent in bis resignation to the
Governor, on Saturday. The Governor
acknowledged the receipt of the same, aud
issued writs for an election to fill the
vacancy. He sent in a message to the
Senate this morning, before the unfinished
business in the Bradley case was resumed,
informing them of the fact. The President
decided that, as he had resigned, no further
action in the case was necessary. From-this
an appeal was taken, and this gave rise to a
lengthy discussion, which lasted until, the
hour of adjournment, Campbell having the
floor. Wide range was given to debate.
Mr. Higbee made a point of order, that
General Order No. 90 declared him eligible,
hence ho could resign. The point was not
sustained.
The opposition contended he could not
resign whilst charges were pending, and that
the Governor’s message could not control the
Senate in its action. The case will bo
resumed to-morrow.
The lobby was very much crowded.
In the House, several bills of a local
nature were introduced—one bill to amend
the Constitution so ns to carry the capital

CucciKNATi, August 7, 1868.
Editor A ayusta Jlepubliean ;
There has been a very firm market for pro
visions throughout the week. Holders in some
cases succeeded in putting up prices, though this
checked operations, and the transactions have
been on a moderate scale only. The upward
movement in gold hae given move confidence to
the trade, though so far this has not had much
influence with buyers, as some doubt is enter
tained as to the stability of tho advance. Should
the cattle disease, which is now said to be pre
vailing to an alarming extent in some portions
of Illinois, extend its ravages, which is feared by
many, it will have a marked influence on the
market for the hog product, and holders partly
on thia account are more reserved in their
offerings. “The market tc-day closes quiet but
firm at my quotations.
MESS PORK has ruled firm all the week, at
price advanced. It is now held at $29.00, with
buyers, 121 to 25c per barrel less. No country
offering.
LARD has been in good demaud all tho week,
and holders succeeded in establishing a further
advance. It is firmly held at 18Jc for city ket
tled, with some sales.
BULK MEATS are quiet, but held firmly at
120 for shoulders; aides 14 to 14jc, loose; clear
rib and clour nominal at 15 to 15|c, loose,
BACON has been in fair demand all the week;
at prices reported in my last—l3l to 134, 164 and
170, packed, for shoulders, clear rib and clear
sides.
HAMS remain quiet; sugar cured 20 to 21q ;
second pickle, 18 to 181 c.; plain, 171 tol7jc.
PLATE BEEF—Sales at $18.50 to 19.50.
DRIED BEEF—IB to 19c., and in fair de
mand.
WHISKEY—In bond, held at 60c.; buyers 5Sc.
