There is, at present, no dust of conse quence in our streets. We are haring fine showers, every three or four hours, which will prove acceptable. Trade. We are glad to note unmistakable indica tions of increasing trade in this locality. Parties from the surrounding country are coming in to see our merchants every day, and leaving their greenbacks among us- That’s right. Planchet te. This new insulated toy, scientifically con structed, is becoming celebrated. The theory of Planchette is, that it gathers the magnet ism, or electricity, generated by those who place their fingers thereon. This, when sufficient, gives an automatic motion to the instrument and pencil. It is a curious toy. City court ol Augusta. Appeal Docket.— Five appeal cases were disposed by verdict of a special jury, yester day. Five citizens received their naturalization papers, viz: Jeremiah O’Hana, Patrick Carrol), Timothy Lyons, David Cohen and Timothy Callihan. One attachment case was dismissed. The Petit Jury were discharged on yesterday morning. -• / Suggestion to Laboring Men. When a person walks through the wide business streets of Augusta, and observes the multitude o( colored people as work in the markets, employed in the stores, follow ing the various trades, working in ware houses, driving drays, and engaged in other pursuits—knowing that every family employs one, two, three, or more, as house servants — knowing that plantations are made valuable by well paid labor—why, one asks, do they not save tljeir money, above what is neces sary, and deposit in the National Freed man’s Savings and Trust Company ? To have money in one’s trunk, or other hidden place, is never wise. Besides losing the • compound interest, it encourages a mean and miserly spirit; but to leave it in trustworthy hands, where it can be drawn any day, encourages a trustful spirit, shows a confidence in what can benefit them, besides teaching economy. Their best friend, Abraham Lincoln, after signing the Emancipation Proclama. tion,did not fail to sign the charter of this institution, which helps to make them more independent—by saving money for right uses. The Bank, corner of Jackson aud Ellis streets, has been beautifully fitted up by colored carpenters, painters and grainers. Deposits of any amount received from any person—and arc withdrawn without notice. Regular Bank hours, from 9 a. m. to 2 p. m. ■ . Call and get the monthly papers. v. a. u. A Foo to the Public. Speculation is sapping the life of all industrial pursuits. It holds within its merciless grasp the abundant harvests of the autumn, and hears not the cry for Bread which comes up from the toiling masses of the country. Encouraged at the prospect of an easy winter, the people will feel the more keenly the bitter wants which is now before them. They saw with glistening eyes the waving grain on the distant prairies, and hoped that they could easily obtain subsist ance for their families, and save something therefrom for future use. The future looked bright to them, and they entered upon their daily tasks with light and joyous hearts. But how sad their disappointment I Instead of a decrease in the cost of living, prices are enhanced and there is small prospect of any fall. The very articles of food which were raised in such abundance command the most exorbitant prices, and can be obtained only in small quantities. Breadstuffs are abundant, but the markets have but little for sale. They may be found by the million of bushels in the storehouses of large cities, but nothing can wrest them from the relent less hand of Speculation. Useless to the country, but greatly needed, these bread stuffs are kept from the market with the expectation that the demand for them will raise the price to such an extent that large fortunes may be made out of the necessities of the people. Did these men who reap a golden harvest out of the necessities of the poor depend upon the scarcity of their hoarded produce in the country alone, they would soon lose their hold upon it. But the report that the wheat and barley crop of England is short this season, and commanding double the price demoded in 1864, encourages these speculators to keep their stores from the market. They know that the United States will be called upon to furnish the manu facturing population of Great Britian with food. Money is no object with men who are starving. When the home production of breadstuff's is exhausted, England will turn to us for a supply, and the markets can not well bo glutted when the nations become consumers. This being the case, we have small hope of any decline in prices. Produce is in the hands of men who can hold it. If they have not capital enough themselves, the banks will readily loan them the required amount at rates of interest which Speculators are willing to pay, and which banks are always glad to receive. The Georgia Legislature. Atlanta, SKNATE. The Senate met at 10 o’clock, aud was opened with prayer by Senator Smith, of the 7th. The journal was read and approved. CoMMITTBt ON CNUOT.I.MENT report the following resolutions as ready for enrollment: . A resolution authorizing the Governor to appoint three competent persons to examine the Land Books of Muscogee, Carroll and Coweta, lately transcribed by Major 11. G. Williams, aud fix.the value thereof. Also a resolution authorizing the Governor to furnish civil officers with Irwin’s Revised Code, etc. On motion of Mr. Smith of the 7th, the House bill for Savannah election, etc., was read the second time, and made the special order of Thursday On motion of Mr. Campbell, the Senate bill on same was also read, and made special order of to-morrow. Mr. Adkius moved to have fifty copies of each bill printed for the use of the Senate. Motion withdrawn. A resolution from the House to encourage immigration was read and concurred in. VKfIBMIIKU BUSINESS. The bill making atiy rate of interest agreed upon by and between parties legal, was taken up. Mr. Wellborn, having the floor, read the law as it now stands. Now, does this law need modifying? We are in an impoverished condition, but can we borrow ourselves rich 7 Money will not relieve us, if we borrow it; labor will, and the man this year makes one bushel of corn more than he did last year is, relieving the country. The borrower and the loaner does not meet equally. Another rea son against the bill is, that you invite capi talists to come with money, loan it out at an enormous rate of interest, and when the principal is to be paid, it cannot be met. Money is not properly, but is simply the indicator of the value of property. Money is not subject to levy and sale. The passage of this bill might benefit some of our cities, but will it benefit our whole State ? The effect of this bill, then, will be so drain the country of money and bring it to the cities.* We want no foreign capital; we want no fictitious property—we have the elements of success within ourselves. *lf wo were rich, we might make this experiment, but as we are poor, we should beware how we han dle it. Mr. Fain. I think I have the best inter est of the State at heart, as well as the gentleman from the 4th, and I think, by advocating this bill, I am benefitting my State. The gentleman asks why bring in foreign Capitol, and why docs it not now come. I tell him that it would come if there was any security for it. The poor man cannot be injured by this law—the exemption laws of our State protests him. I have always thought that a man should be per mitted to trade in his own properly as ho chooses. Money is property. It is what a man owns. Internal improvements in creases the value of our property. Invite capital and our State will be improved. You arc aware you cannot borrow money at seven per cent now. If this bill passes we do not propose to make a man borrow money, but to put it in his power, when he must have it, to be able to get it. Now, he cannot get. With this law ho know's the emergency that prompts him, and when he borrows can make his own contract. Mr. Adkins. lam in favor of the bill, and approve much that has been said. Money left unrestricted will take its own course, and it will be like grease to wheels. It will move everything forward. Who will be injured 1 The man who borrows money at a greater rate of interest than the law allows and pleads usury may be benefitted by the usury laws, but the honest man who pays what he contracts to pay is not hurt by this law. Mr. Hinton. This question is one of great importance. The friends of this bill have made their arguments upon the hypothesis, that money stands upon the same basis trs other ]»roperty. If your premises are wrong, your conclusions must also be wrong. Money is not property. The defence is this: money, the value of it is established by law, it is one hundred cents in the dollar. In al! other species of property the demand and supply regulate the value. Another differ ence is, other species of property wastes ; money docs not. One hundred dollars is worth as much ten years hence as it is now. A horse may be worth one hundred dollars to-day ; a year hence he may be worth more or less. The argument, then, of the gentle man is incorrect, because the premises are wrong. Why should we prescribe the rate of per cent. ? The laws are made for the protec tion of the weak; the strong need no protec tion. Gentlemen say that it will develop the resources of the State. Judge Lumpkin gives directly the opposite view, aud I leave it to the Senators to judge who arc entitled to most credit. Whoever heard of a man who made loaning money a profession that improved the condition of his State? A Senator. Mr. Peabody. Mr. Hinton. Judge Lumpkin’s views are different with the gentleman. A few profli gate young men, who will have money at any rate, will bo able to get it; but will the bone and sinew of our country be benefitted by the passage of this law ? A few men whose business it is to leud money will be benefitted by it. We sliould pass laws for the entire whole. Who is clamorous for the passage of this law ? 1 do not know a farmer who is in favor of this law. Mr. Adkins—l am one. Mr. Hinton. 1 am glad to hear the gentleman say he is a farmer. 1 have been unable heretofore to tell what he was. The number of farmers are few who advocate this law. Men who are in favor of getting every dollar they can, who are watching for every man that passes to filch him of his property ; who tempt the young man into the gambling hells, by loaning him money to bet on, are the ones who stand by offering so. loan money at 25 per cent, or 50 per cent., and who now wish us to legalize these acts- This is the class of men vou arc seeking to protect. If we will untrammel the laws already made; if your ministerial officers were permitted to carry out the contract already made, and your stay laws and cxempton laws, and every other law that prevents the poor man from borrowing money were abrogated, then capital would come ; then our State would improve. I hope that Senators will weigh this question well. Mr. Lester moved to suspend the rules to introduce a resolution to authorise the Governor to receive the surrender of the Bank of Savannah. The motion did not prevail. Mr. Bowers called for the previous ques tion on the bill before the House. Mr. Adkins asked five minutes to answer the argument of Mr. Hinton.' The call for the previous question was sustained. The yeas and nays were called and the bill lost Yeas 17, nays 18. The Senate adjourned to meet at four o’clock thia afternoon. HOUSE. The House met pursuant to adjournment, Hon. Mr. McWhorter in the Chair. • The Journal was read and confirmed. . $ Mr. Erwin moved a reconsideration of so much of tbe Journal as relates to the relief of Seaborn Montgomery, and others, securi ties of 11. L. Tyson. The motion prevailed. Mr. Hall, of Meriwether—A resolution that no new matter be presented to the House after Friday next, aud that the House hold two sessions per day, the afternoon session to be devoted to reading bills the second time. , The House refused to suspend the rules. The Clerk then proceeded to the call of counties, when the following new matter was introduced: Mr. Shumate—A bill to amend an act incorporating the Atlanta Medical College. Mr. Strickland—A bill to reduce tlie Sheriff's bond ot Paulding county. Mr. Walthall—A bill to incorporate the Georgia and Western Railroad Company. Mr. Butt—A bill to change the time of holding the Superior Courts of Marion; also, A bill to present hunting with dogs in certain counties.

Mr. Stone, of Jefferson, introduced the following: Resolved, That a while man shall not go out of the parlor into the kitchen, and be there among the negro females, which the negro man has always been opposed to, and that the General Assembly may provide that white men shall let the negro females alone, and that negro men will let the white females alone. Mr. Williams, of Morgan—A bill to preventrtho trespass of stock on lands not owned by the owner of said stock. Mr. Saulter—A bill to establish a State police. Mr. Williams, of Haralson —A bill to reduce the Sheriff’s bond, of Haralson. Mr. Hall, of Glynn—A bill to increase the salary of the Superintendent of the shoo shop at the Penitentiary.

Mr. Colby—A bill authorizing county officers io advertise in such newspapers as they may select. Mr. Turner (col.) —A bill fixing eight hours as a fair day's labor. Mr. Strickland—A bill regulating the license for selling spirituous liquors iu Paulding county. A message from the Senate was received concurring in certain House bills and reso lutions. Mr. Scott, as member of the Committee on Privileges and Elections, arose to a privileged question. He proposed to make a report on the case of the contested seat of Fyall, a colored representative from the county of Macon. Mr. Bryant raised the point of order that the majority of the committee were not ready to make a report, and that a minority report could not be entertained. The Chair decided that as a sufficent time had elapsed for the committee to report, and the majority bad nut done so, a report of the minority could J>c entertained. Mr. Rice appealed from the decision of the Chair, when the yeas and nays were ordered, resulting as follows: Yeas 102, nays 30. So the Chair was sustained. M. Scott then presented the following Minority Report of the Committee on Privileges and Elections. We, the undersigned, members of the Committee on Privileges and Elections, to whose consideration was referred a resolu tion of the House to inquire into the eligibility of 11. F. Fyall, a member of this House, from the county of Macon, beg leave to nnvkc the following re port : 1. Upon an investigation of the case of said Fyall, and on examination of the evidence, wo find that said.Fyall wus not, previous to tlie election of members of the General Assbmby, hell on the 20th, 21st, 22d, and 23d days of April,-1868, a citizen of Macon county, but a citizen of the county of Bibb, and that said Fyall has not, since said election, resided in said county of Macon, but in the county of Bibb, and that said Fyall is at present a citizen of the county of Bibb, and for the above reasons is not eligible to bis seat as a member of this House under the Constitution of this State. 2. We furthermore find that said F. H. Fyall is a free person of color, and for this reason is not, under the Constitution of this State, nor any law thereof, eligible to his seat upon this floor; and for reasons above stated, the undersigned respectfully recom mend that said Fyall be declared ineligible to his seat as a member of this body, and that he be immediately removed therefrom. In making this report, the undersigned would respectfully submit their reasons for making the same before final action was taken thereon by the Committee on Privi leges and Elections. During the first week ot the session of this body, the resolution of this House looking to the eligibility of said Fyall was referred to the Committee for their investigation. Effort after effort has been made by the undersigned members of said Committee to bring said investigation to a close and report the same to this House. The disposition of a majority of the Com mittee seems to be to prevent an investiga tion rather than make one, as required by the resolution of this House, Satisfied in our own minds that the matter will never reach a conclusion before the Committee, we deem it bnt just to ourselves to make this report. All o1 which is respectfully sub mitted. Dunlap Scott, T. M. Harkness, John Long, Wm. D. Anderson, P. 11. Brassell, W. P. Price. Mr. Duncan offered a substitute, which contained, in substance, the same as the minority report, including all colored mem bers of the House The substitute was accepted by Mr. Scott. Mr. Scott then proceeded to address the House in support of the minority report, but was interrupted by Mr. Bryant, who arose to a point of order, stating that a resolution had, on the 18th of July, passed the House settling the eligibility of members, and that this matter can not now be entertained. Mr. Caldwell was«always of opinion that General Meade had no right to throw the question of eligibility upon the House. He, for one, did not want the responsibility. He believed that there were outside influences at work to get that question in here. The Speaker ruled that tbe point taken by the gentleman from Richmond was not well taken. After which he requested the Speaker pro tem. to preside, as he, the Speaker, wished to take a plate of soup (hasty.) Mr, Price, Speaker pro tem., assumed tbe Chair. Mr. Scott hoped that, as he had yielded the floor for two hours, no one would inter rupt him again. Mr. Duncan desired to introduce a substi lute for the whole. He moved that the ma jority report of lhe committee be laid on the table. Mr. Bryant called for the yeas and nays. During the call of the yeas and nays, Mr. Bethune stated that he did not think the House understood the question. He, as Chairman of the Committee on Privileges and Elections, only wanted a little time to look into the matter and make a report. , [Cries from the democrifticsideof lhe House, “we understand it.” “You only want an other month.”] The Speaker again stated the question and lhe call proceeded, which resulted: Yeas 82, nays 52. So the report wss laid on tbe table. Mr. ScetL—These parties being arraigned before this House on the question of their eligibility, he raised the point that they should not be allowed to vote on such ques tion. The Speaker ruled that they should not vole. Mr. Scott said that this question- was one of the most important that ever came before any legislative body in America. Mr. Bryant desired to appeal from the decision of the Chair in the case of the members accused not voting. The Speaker ruled that the appeal came too late. Mr. Scott hoped the appeal would be taken, whereupon Mr. Bryant withdrew the appeal. Mr. Rawls said that when Mr. Bryant made the appeal it became the property of the House, and could not be withdrawn except by unanimous permission of the same. The question was put on the appeal, upon which the yeas and nays were called. The Speaker ruled that members involved in the question should not be allowed to vote. A member inquired whether carpet baggers were embraced in the ruling of the Chair. The Speaker replied: That will de pend entirely upon the color of the carpet bagger. The call proceeded and resulted as fol lows : Yeas 90, nays 22. So the aceisiou of the Chair stands as the rule of the House. Mr. O’Neal wanted to know whether the parties whose eligibility was being ques tioned are to be excluded from voting en masse t Mr. Seott made the point that when three Democrats were arraigned before the House on a question of eligibility, they had been excluded from voting en masse. -He con tended that the same ruling should obtain in this case. The Speaker so ruled. Mr. Turner thanked God that he was a negro, A voice from the ceiling, “I vote yes.” The Speaker—A vote from the gallery cannot be entertained. On motion,, the House adjourned, Mr. Scott having the floor. Special to the Augusta Republican.] From Atlanta. The Eligibility Question. NOTHING DEFINITE. Atlanta, August 27, 1868. In the Senate, Wooten moved to recon sider the lost bill to amend the usury law. During the discussion, the Senate took up the special order—the bill to provide tor the election of Mayor and Aidermen of the city of Savannah. The bill was amended by giving throe ballot boxes instead of two, and was passed by a_ vote of 33 yeas to 7 nays. A motion to transmit to the ILiuse gave rise to a lengthy discussion, but it finally prevailed, by a two-thirds vote. Tlie Senate resumed the bill amending the usury Isftv, aud adjourned, Mr. Holcombe having the floor. In the House, Rice moved to reconsider the reception of the minority report on the eligibility of colored members in lieu of the majority report. A point of order was raised, which the Chair ruled not well taken. In delending the action of a majority of the committee, a point of order was raised that during the trial members retire who are accused. The Chair ruled that no one on trial could vote. The motion to reconsider was lost—yeas 85, nays 58. Mr. Bethune moved to reconsider laying the majority report on the table, for the purpose of having the question submitted to the Supreme Court. Ruled out of order, as each House, was judge of its own members, from which no appeal was taken. Au appeal wis taken and the Chair sus tained. The discussion of a substitute for the minority report was resinned, during which four colored members were excepted from the provisions, they having only one-eighth negro blood, to wit: Beard, Fyall, Belcher, and Davis, leaving twenty-four under the charges. Pending the consideration, the House adjourned. Both the Galleries and Lobby were densely crowded by both colors during the trial. No fixed time for the final trial, but is supposed Saturday. Members who favor the resolution are disposed to give the colored members a fair hearing. Washington Items Washington, August 27.—1 t has trans pired that McCulloch has ordered to be paid a five hundred dollar gold note, and issued an equivalent for a thousand dollar seven thirty bond, both heretofore pronounced spurious and duplicates. Schofield will not act on Judge Under wood’s suggestions regarding the Virginia judiciary. At Alexandria, Va.,‘in the horse case now pending in the Circuit Court, Judge Thomas, in obedience to General Stoneman, entered an order dismissing the case at the plaintiff's costs. The case will be carried, upon a mandamus to compel Thomas to try the case, thus testing Gen. Stoneman’s authority. Senator Fowler, of Tennessee, in a card, denies his complicity in thy “ring” against Rollins, as charged in the New York Tribune. The customs for the week, ending on the 22<1 inst., reached nearly lour millions of dollars. Revenue to day five hundred and twenty three thousand dollars. It is stated that McCulloch has deter mined to make the issue between himself and Rollins general. No Treasury or Revenue appointments are to Ire made unless they are acceptable to McCulloch. x Revenue Commissioner Rollins has in structed certain detectives employed by him under the new law to perform the duties of Supervisor when circumstances have arisen or may arise requiring .Supervisors. Georgia Legislature. Atlanta, Aug. 27. In the Senate the bill postponing the election in the city of Savan nah until the 2d Tuesday in December, was passed by thirty three to seven—the ballot boxes have been increased to throe. Campbell opposed the postponement, and said if tlie ballot boxes was in one build ing negroes would have no chance to vote, and if not allowed to vote, they will fight. He warned the Senators how they act. In the House it long and warm discus sion on the eligibility of negroes and members, and the right of negroes holding l office. Tumlin, Democrat, said the question was of vital importance to both races in Georgia. We arc hero consuming the people’s money, and the action of the Legislature is clogged until the question is settled. The motion to reconsider the minority report stood—ayes 85, nays 53. Scott, Democrat, made a speech on the motion to adopt the substitute, declaring all negroes ineligible. This Government was founded by the Anglo-Saxons. The supe riority and supremacy of this race had never been ended on this continent, and this is the question to decide the negroes an ignorant and servile race. The majority of colored members could neither read or write; did not know what the Constitution and laws were. The Supreme Court of the United States was the interpreter of the Constitu tion. Every State of the original thirteen recognized Africans as a separate race. Washington fought to establish a white man’s government. No change of administration can make the negro the white man’s equal, socially or politically. The right to be sued gives no political rights. The Emancipation Proclamation simply declares negroes free persons of color. Ido not deny this : but do deny their right to sit here and make laws for the white race : and the laws of Congress, nor the Recoturtruction laws, give negroes no right to hold office- He read from a speech of ex Gov. Brown, who says that our Constitution does not confer on negroes the right io hold office, but simply to vote. He said that if lire Consti tution of the United States nor the Shcrinan- Shellabarger bill did not confer on the negro the right -to hold office, whence did the Georgia Convention get the right to confer it upon them. The House adjourned. Louisiana Legislature. New Orleans, August 27.—Resolutions were offered in the House similar to those of the Senate on Tuesday, calling for a Committee of Inquiry into the charges affecting the official integrity of the Gov ernor. Certain membt rs of the House refused to receive the resolutions, the suspension of the rules being necessary for their reception. To duy, undec the suspension of the rules for the purpose, McMillan introdfeed a preamble and resolution, the effect of which is the appointment of a committee of three to investigate certain actions us the Repre sentative from the 10th District, which resolution was lost. - From Columbia.
