We are informed that our allusion to
* Sergeant Buzfuz,’ yesterday—in the indict
ment against Mr. Samvel Lett—was, in
some minds, wrongly applied. And it gives
us pleasure to state that we Ir.tl no reference
at ali to the able lawyer and worthy gentle
man who is acting as Solicitor General in
the present term of the City Court.
To Corrcupondciitu.
"Serio Ludicro” writes well enough to
know that no communication is ever inserted
unless accompanied by the name of the
author. It seems "Serio Lvdicro” was
ignorant of this fact. Send your name.
"Georgia” sends us a communication
mailed at Atlanta on the 29ih day of July
last. Where it has been for the past month
we can not tell. The matter of which the
writer speaks has already been settled, and,
of course, we do not publish "Georgia's'
suggestions.
We have received another communica
tion from "Law and Order.” Hi» remarks
arc excellent, but, under all the circum
stances, we think their publication would
accomplish no good. t
Uniruurded Houses.
Notwithstanding the repeated robberies
that have occurred in the city, and the con
sequent necessity of every one to maintain a
strict watch and guard upon their premises,
the police find every night some store, office,
or place where valuables are kept open and
unguarded. This is no unfrequent -occur
rence.; it occurs every night. One store in
particular hits been found open a half dozen
times within a month. Should a thief dr
burglar passing by discover this, aud perpe
trate a robbery, a huge outcry would be
made the ncxt .morning, and the officer on
the beat severely blamed. Merchants and
business men are inexcusable for this. They
have no right to leave their houses open.
Such neglect can find no palliation.

The prosecution asked the Court to
charge:
1. That under the laws of the State of
Georgia, ail cases arc bailable, except
capital cases.
2. That so much of the eighteenth section
of the General Ordinance of the City of
Augusta as authorizes the Mayor or any
member of Council, the Chief of Police, or
other officer of the city, to commit to jail
until discharged by the Recorder's Court,
or by due course of law, must be construed
in harmony with the Statute law of the
State, and doos not authorize the commit
ment if the party offers bail.
3. That if Ramsay was not authorized to
admit to bail, it was his duty to carry the
prisoner before an officer authorized to
admit to bail.
4. That if Ramsay was authorized to
commit, he was also authorized to admit to
boil—both being judicial acts, and one the
consequence of the other.
The defence asked the Court to charge :
1. The first and second clauses of the 18th
section of the General Ordinances'; also, the
second clause of the 21st section.
2. That if the jury believe that the de-,
lendant committed PicquE'r for a violation
of the 18th section, he had a right to commit
him under said section. That the second
clause of said section gives the power to, and
vests the discretion in,jhc officer.
3. 11 Chief Dillon ordered Lis Lieutenant
Ramsay to commit Ptcqusr under the 18th

4. That before the jury can find this
defendant guilty, they must believe that if
he violated the law, he did it deliberately
and intentionally.
o. If the jurors Lave a reasonable doubt,
they must acquit.
After an impartial charge from Judge
Sncad, the jury retired, and in about ten
minutes returned a verdict of “Guilty.”

A Sew Plan/
A certain clergyman has adopted a hovel,
plan for raising money in Lts church. In
stead of the old and disagreeable fashion of
pulpit begging, he lett -the Lord prefer the
request for money in the very words of divine
inspiration. To this end envelopes to re
ceite ths contributions are placed in every
pew, and on them are printed such scriptural
texts as these: ‘’Give and it -shall be given
unto you; ’ “Cast thy bread upon the waters
“He that so wet h sparingly;’ “Charge them
that are rich," etc.
I’upnlur AmusrmuiU.
It is unnecessary to discuss the question
Os the morality or immorality of theatres.
Thqo|tub||ctji is settled. by ths almost
universal "voice of all civilized nations,
among whom the Drama holds the highest
place in the scale of popular amusenieutj.
A city, without a. theqlre A* generally con
sidered as being deficient in that intelligeiise
which marks the highest grade of modern
society.
Theatre or no theatre 1— that’s the ques
tion. Leaving aside all other considerations
of interest, policy, character, etc., we view it
in the one light pf being absolutely neces
sary for the-preservation of the good morffie
and integiity of our youthful population.
The question is narrowed to this point;
Whether it is better to have a theatre wlioro
our young men can spend their evenings in
company with their female relations ana
friends, or leave them (as at present) to
seek amusements in the liquor establish
ments or the billiard saloons which are
opening up on nearly every street in the city.
It is in such places the insidious seeds of
of drunkenness and gambling are sown,
wfnen in early fna'nnodd ripen into’a harvest
of misery for themselves, their families, and
the community in general. I‘. i.i in the
billiard saloons that tha love of ‘ play’is
first ent'ouraged, and where the professional
harpies watch for victims to lure into the
den of the * Tiger.’
A theatre, of course, might not prevent
the frequenting of such places, but it would
put down the exercise of * we had no place
to go to for an hour's relaxation,' and it
would enable the mother or sister to accom
pany our young men as guardian angels (o
preserve them from the above and worse
places of entertainment.
We submit these remarks, for what they
arc worth, to that class? of our citizens who
are opposed to theatre on principle. If they
Can not make the people of this world as
moral as they wish, the next best thing is to
make them as good as possible, and Weak
ening all incentives to the grosser vices, by
pupmoting rational and intellectual amuse
ments.
Ncwspu j>er»—K<porters.
The newspaper business is now so organ -
ized that it is scarcely possible (or one journal
to excel another. If one occasionally obtains
exclusive news, the compliment is soon
returned by the others, Mid the result is
equal. News js the foundation of the popu
larity 1 oT tveiy daily nev&pttjW. But the
gathering of news is a heavy expense, not
only or chiefly for the time actually em
ployed in obtaining it, but from the necessity
of keeping mon half the time idle tq meet
emergencies. In every other branch there is
no such necessity. Printers can be got ou
'call. Editorial matter is not only fully
supplied, but abounds. The volunteer edi
torials arc ample, and from them may always
be selected enough of good quality. But
good reporters are of stow growth. They
require not only natural ability, but long
training. To seize on the points which the
public are interested in, and reject what is
citvai’re, must- become from long habit in
stinctive before the man deserves the name
of reporter. One is a jewel-—to obtain a
corps of them a task of the greatest diffi
culty. We have repeatedly thought of
defining ‘the good reporter,’ but the delicate
nuances which distinguish him can scarcely
be caught in pen and ink.
To Prracrva Hams from Flies.
The best way to preserve hams from flies
is, as soon as they are smoked, to wrap
them in two old newspapers, first with onb
end and again with another, and tie the
of the paper or paste them down.
Let the string to hang them up by come
through the paper, being very careful that
the hole shall only be large enough to let
the string through. No insect can get
through the paper. Woolens and furs can
be kept perfectly in the same way, being
careful that the egg of the moth is mit
previously deposited.
Great Fire in Opelika —Eleven Bvnm
isos Burned. —It is our painful duty to
announce the destruction by lire of a large
portion of the business part of Opelika.
At about 5 o’clock this morning a fire broke
out in the grocery bouss-ef Robert J. GriL
fin, on Chambers street., when the tlanieS
were quickly communicated to the adjoin
ing buildings.
The following buildings On Chambers
street were burned : grocery house, of It. J.
Griffin, with stock, valued at $80;000,t
Bfbdlcy’s grocery store, with stock, Me*
Clure’s bar room —most stock saved, Ilogart '
House —a large building—iu the basement
of which were the family; grocery stores
of Dent & Henderson, and Wm. M. Mitch
ell & Co. In the upper apartment was the
Recorder printing office, and the law offie'e'
of J. C. Meadors—all destroyed. Our
cotemporary of the Recorder succeeded in
saving only a very small quantity of type,
and his loss is very severe. No insur
ance. 0. Brown & Co.’s dry goods
store was destroyed—goods nearly all
saved. The fire was then communicated to
the buildings on the opposite side of
Chambers street, where the two stores of
Edwards & Co. were destroyed. From
thence thq • fhynetj wejee communicated to
thte corner building ott South Railroad
street, known as the Jones A Williams
building, in the rear of which was the
residence of Dr. Douglass, both of which
were consumed. The dry goods storo of
Brownfield and J. E. Williamson were
destroyed, when by the indomitable exer
tions of our citizens, the next building to
Williamson’s owned by Grech and
Watkins was saved by extraordinary
exertions. But for the small space inter
vening, every business house on South
Railroad street would have been desiroyed.
As it is. the fire was fortunately checked
by blowing up the building of J. E. Wil
liamson & Co.
At the present writing it is not known
how the fire originated. It was discovered
inside the grocery house of R. J. Griffin ft
Go, which is presumptive evidence tlmt it
was not the work of an incindiary, as no
sign of a forced entrance was tiisp. triable.

Georgia Legislature, .
FULL REPORT OF PROCEEDINGS
Th Eligibility Q«esti«u.
Atlanta, August 26, 1868.
The morning session of the Senate was
consumed in the discussion of the Usury
Bill.
So v oral Senators made lengthy and able
speeches in opposition to the bill. The bill
was finally lost by one vole. Among the
opponents of the bill is Seuator Wellborn,
who made a very able and telling speech
against it.
In the House, Mr. Scott, as a member of
the Committee on Privileges and Elections,
proposed to make a minority report.
Mr. Bryant raised the point of order that
the majority of the Committee had made no
report, and that the minority could make
noun unless the majority bad neglected their
duty.
Mr. Scott contended that the majority had
been neglectful of their duty in this respect,
as the time had been ample for them to
report, and they had failed to do so.
The Speaker decided that it was legiti
mate for the minority to report.
Mr. Rice appealed from the decision of
the Chair.
The decision of the Chair was sustained.
Mr. Scott then submitted a minority
report setting forth that F. 11. Fyall, now
holding a scat as a Representative from
the county of Macon, is nut a citizen of
Macon county, but is a citizen of Bibb
county; that ho is also a free person of
color, and therefore is not entitled to a seat
on this floor, under the Constitution.
Mr. Duncan offered the following as a
substitute for Mr. Scott’s report:
Whereas, the Hon. T. M. Allen of Jasper,
E. Bai nes of Hancock, T. P. Beard of Rich,
mond, EJwin Belcher o( Wilkes, T. G.
Campbell of Mclntosh, Malcolm Claiborne
of Burke, G. IL Glower of Monroe, Abram
Colliy of Green, J. T. Costin of Talbot,
Madison Davis of Claike, Monday Floyd of
Morgan, F. 11. Fyall of Macon, 8 Gardner
of Warren, W. A. Golden of Liberty, W. IL
Harrison' of Hancock, U. L. Houston of
Bryant, Philip Joiner of Dougherty, George
Liuder «f Laurens, R. Lumpkin us Macon
Romulus Moore of Columbia, Petor O’Neal
of Chatham, Alfred Richardson ot Clarke,
J. M. Sims of Chatham, Absalom Smith of
Muscogee, Alexander Stone of Jefferson, H.
N. Tarver of Bibb, and Samuel Williams of
Harris, holding seats on the floor, are not
eligible; that, under the Constitution of
Georgia, S lid members being free persons of
color ; therefore,
liesohed, That said members be no longer
recognized as members of the House, and
lhat the Clerk shall hereafter eease calling
the names of said persons.
Mr. Scott accepted tbo substitute.
Mr. Bryant raised a point of order that
as a resolution was passed in this House on
the 18tti of July, declaring all persons
holding seats on this floor as eligible,
therefore the introduction of this mattir
was out of order.
Mr, O’Neal, of Lowndes, addressed the
lloukc at some length in sapport of the
[mint of order raised by Air. Bryant. He
said that the adoption of the resolution
settled tlic eligibility of every member
upon the floor, and that Ibis House could
not go behind the record.
Mr. Shumate addressed the House in
reply to Mr. O'Neal, taking the position that
the resolution adopted referred alone to
the eligibility of members under the 3d
section of the 14th amendment to the
Cbiistitution of the United States.
Tire Chair decided that the - point of
order w as not well taken.
Mr. Benthune, Chairman bl the Committee
o» Privileges and Elections, made a report
asking further time. Mr. Bethune raised
the point of order that the substitute for the
report of the minority not having been be
fore the committee, could not be enter
tained.
The Speaker, Mr. Price, in the Chair,
ruled that the point was not well taken.
Mr. Duncuu moved to lay the report of
the Chairman of the Committee on the
table, and on this the yeas and nays were
demanded, which resulted—yeas 82, nays 52
So the motion prevailed.
Mr. Scott proceeded to address the House.
He said he wanted to have lhe question de
cided whether or not the members, whose
eligibility was questioned, will be allowed to
vote on auy question whieh may come up
relating to the subject under consideration.
The Speaker pro tim. stated that as the
Speaker elect had ruled heretofore that the
members whose eligibility was questioned
were not entitled to vote ou questions affect
ing their eligibility, he would follow that
precedent, to rule in the present case.
Mr. Hall, of Glynn, appealed from the
decision of the Chair, and upon this the yeas
and nays were demanded, and resulted—
yeas 9b, nays 22. So the decision of the
Chair was sustained, when the House ad
joarftud.
At times during the discussion- of the
several motion? and points of order, there
was great confusion, and the Speaker’s gavel
fell fast and heavy, and it was with difficulty
that the order of the House was maintained.
Sometimes as many as fiftecen or twenty
members were on their feet at once, making
motions ami raising points of order, but
amid all this, I am happy to say, there was
no display of ill fueling on the part of mem
bers.
The colored members conducted them
selves with the utmost propriety, and seemed
satisfied to abide by the decision of tho
House, whatever it may be.
It is pretty generally conceived, 1 believe,
lhat the colored members will be ousted, as,
under the ruling of the Speaker, they will
not be permitted to vote on the question of
their own eligibility.
Mr. Scott has the floor to morrow morning,
and will, no doubt, make a characteristic
argument against the colored members re
taining their seats.
I am not advised as to who will reply to
him, but have no doubt that the Republi
cans will present a forman. worthy of his
steel.
I understand that there have been several
colored |>crsons employed on the Slate
Road, in the capacity of wood passers and
firemen. This is a new thing, as hereto
fore these positions have always been filled
by white persons. M.
Special to the Augusta Republican.]
From Atlaata-
Atlanta, Ga., August 26, 1868.
In the House, the report of the Commit
tee ou Privileges aud Elections was sub
mitted by Mr. Scott, of Floyd, recommend
ing that Fyall, a person of color, be ousted.
A substitute was offered by Duncan, of
Houston, to include all persons of color.
There is great excitement.
Scott arose to make a speech before
debating the subject, and asked whether
those persons whose eligibility was under
discussion would, on final decision, be
allowed to vote.
Price, speaker y?ro tern., declared that,
according to-jprecetfeffi’, they could not.
Au appeal was taken from the decision of
the Chair.
The yeas aud nays were Called, aud the
decision of the Chair sustained by a vote of
ninety to twenty-two; so that the colored
mcmliere of the House cannot vote oh the
settlement of the question.
Scott and Turner, colored, ure expected to
make speeches to morrow.
The Uusury bill was discussed all the
morning in the Senate.
[sEtXTND DISPATCH.j
Atlanta, Aug. 26, 1868—P. M.
ahe bills in the Senate concerning the
city of Savannah was made the special order
for to morrow.
1 lie resolution of the House on emigration
was concurred in.
The consideration of the hill to amend the
usury laws was resumed. The bill was lost;
yeas 17, nays 18.
In the House a bill was introduced to
provide for a State police. Tho Governor to
appoint the principal, and he -the subordi
nates in every county.
Also, a bill to make eight hours a days’
labor. • . ,
The Committee on Privileges and Elec
tions made a minority ieport. Objections
were made txicause the majority had not
made a report, which was overruled. Au
appeal from the decision of the Chair was
sustained by a vote of 102 to 31.
The report read says that Fyalf, who was
a resident o( Bibb euuiity at the time of the
election, has not resi fed since in Macon
county— therefore, he is not eligible ; further,
being a free person of color, is not eligible
under the Constitution. W.
