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. —•♦ • T 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. •■each and Apple Hrandy. By a recent ruling of the Commissioner of '"ternal Revenue, dated August Ist, the ’tense tax for the distillation of peach and hT'le brandy is four hundred dollars a year, ’■‘ J m May to May. Those commencing on ■‘t Ist of August will have to pay three nndred dollars up to May next. 'n Interesting QHeotion. °es fanning in a hot day cool the fanner 1 t a question which sundry newspaper are trying to scribble up to the 80 . 01 etbing abetraae and mysteri- York p lB a B ' tn P' e question, says the New one f. ■[***> eaß ’*y unswered. The more »i. j Va l “ e hotter one really becomes. This wer. j. eS “ onß trated as long ago as when fans hrßt generally used. 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. MOUSE. Mr. O’Nealoffered a resolution authorizing the Clerk to draw upon the Treasurer for a sum sufficient to meet contingent expenses for printing, etc. Carried. Mr. Bell—A resolution locating offices of State House officers in the building occupied by the General Assembly. Carried and transmitted forthwith to the Senate.

Mr. Gullatt-—A resolution that the State House officers be authorized to proceed forthwith to Milledgeville to have brought to Atlanta all furniture pertaining to their offices, was adopted and ordered to be trans mitted to the Senate. A resolution providing for the distribution, by the Governor, of 2,000 copies of Irwin’s Code and other matter to Stale officers, was adopted and ordered to be transmitted to the Senate.

Mr. Tumlin —A resolution denying seats to negroes holding seats on the floor of the House. Mr. Turner hoped that the gentleman would defend the resolution by argument. Mr. Bryant said that the resolution was in conflict with the Constitution. The House refused to suspend the rules, so the resolution lies over. Mr. Turner expressed his obligations to the gentleman who sprung the question. A bill to be entitled an act to change the law of evidence. Laid on the table. A bill to incorporate the town of Colquitt in the county of Miller, and to provide for the election of commissioners for the same. Passed.

He read from the charters of various companies, to show that there should be a capital stock of at least SIOO,OOO. There was no equitable redemption in the proposed charter. The report of the committee was agreed to, ami the bill passed. A bill to reorganize and consolidate the Militia Districts in Pulaski county. Laid on the table for the present- A bill to exempt men with one arm or leg from paying poll tax.

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 back to Milledgeville. No further nominations. VV. Washington Items Washington, August 10-—Mrs. Trumbull is recovering. Stevens is convalescent. The Austrian Minister, Watte, is daily expected to receive instructions. The President will not leave for his pro posed trip until the Revenue Commissioner ship is settled. 1 Revenue to-day is $681,000. Chief Justice Chase, in charging the United States Grand Jury of West Virginia, said in effect: “In order to suppress the rebellion, it was necessary to create a large public debt, aud that the debt must be paid, for under the 14th amendment to the Constitution of the United States the nation was pledged.to it. This amendment he recognized as valid, and therefore charged the Jury to see that the revenue, laws, which were made to pay tho debt, were strictly enforced.” Seward telegraphs that he willl return un Wednesday. it is now thought that Roseneranz will depart for Mexico next week.

Vlillkips’ Prwviniou Exchange. 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.
