Musical.
The famous guitar-player of the first ward
was out on another serenade last evening.
His playing would give any well-conducted
saw-mill the toothache.
Augueta Homelineaa,
The Pindartown Herald's correspondent,
Jenkins, at the Black Alum Springs,
■says:
•< The Misses Spinks, of Georgia, in sable
evening costume, looked very homely.
Georgia Railway.
Among the many recent improvements on
the railway from here to Atlanta, we reckon
among the best the comfortable, elegant
sleeping cars, admirably arranged, and
superintended by affable conductors; It is
a luxury to ride in them.
Fleih-Colored.
The style of wearing flesh-colored gait
ers suggests at first sight that the wearer is
barefoot, which adds to the charm and
hallucination of things—notwithstanding
the thought is so shocking.
Bonnei»*-Halr.
Authorities in the world of fashion an
nounce that there is not the least indica
tion of the enlargement of the Bonnets.
The hair is worn higher, the chignon
larger than ever; the latest styles of chig
nons are composed of large hollow plaits
or puffs, and, though immense in size, are
light upon the head. The curl, still in
vogue, is large in proportion.
The Lady and her Maid.
A young lady advertised for a dressing
maid. One applied, and in response to an
inquiry if she was quick, she replied : ‘Oh,
so quick that I will engage to dress you
every day in half an hour.’ ‘ln half- an
hour !’ reiterated the young lady ; ‘and wha 1
shall I do the rest of the day ?’
Jadge Erskine.
We were pleased to meet at Atlanta, a
day or two since, this distinguished jurist.
The Judge has but recently returned from
a brief sojourn at the North, and appeared
to be in vigorous health. The regular term
of his Court for the Northern District of
Georgia commences on the 14th instant.
National Hotel, Atlanta.
This popular hotel (Pond’s) keeps up its
splendid reputation for being equal to any
on the route of travel, anywhere. The en
terprising proprietor, too, is enlarging its
dimensions —adding another wing thereto-
Such tables, such rooms, and such accom
modations generally, are not to be found
everywhere.

‘Nothing to Wear’
Ladies who complain most that they have
nothing to wear, commonly wear the least
when best supplied. Miss Featherfly had a
score of new dresses last week, and yet
hasn’t been able to get a single one up to
her shoulders. The bare idea of the thing
is and is not singular.
The Weather.
The month of August proved itself to be
well entitled to the appellation of ‘ sultry.’
The mornings were hazy and steaming, the
noons hot and slumbrous, the evenings lazy
and breathless, the nights serene and
desperately tranquil. Could the weather
of last week have been bottled up and
tasted next December, it is our opinion that
it would be pronounced supremely warm
in the language of trade ‘ A. No. I.’
Young Meu.
Young men are often at a loss to know
the best manner of spending their leisure
hours. ‘Evil communications corrupt good
manners,’ and in like manner good associa
tions exert a most beneficial influence.
The society of a refined and intelligent
lady should always be desired. If you have
a true woman for a friend, you have in her
a rich treasure indeed, beck her society
whenever practicable, not necessarily as a
lover, but as an earnest friend and com
panion. No matter if you are acquainted
with all her home amusements, and ‘know
all her songs by heart.’ In her presence
you will lose all relish for impure and
demoralizing pleasures, and receive mental
and moral improvement.
Augusta as a Cotton Market-
Cotton is a very fluctuating article, and
may be for a time elevated or depressed by
a great variety of local causes; hence the
great advantage to the planter of keeping
as many markets before him as possible.
For this reason Augusta has always been
considered the safest market for the planter
in the South.
Tire idea is often circulated, that all the
cotton bought in Augusta is bought tor
re-sale in Charleston or Savannah. Such
is not the fact. The largest purchasers are
themselves shippers to foreign ports, and
ship through either Charleston or Savan
nah, according to the comparative rates of
freight. When it is otherwise, the business
is done mostly by firms, one of the part
ners residing in the seaport. They collect
assorted lots, watch closely the demands
for immediate export, and by promptly
availing themselves of any favorable fluc
tuation, they can frequently make a small
profit, and at the same time afford to the
planter a larger price than he could realize
himself by a direct shipment—as they do
their own business and pay no commis
sions.
[Fram the Intelligencer.
The Georgia Legislature.
. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 2,1 «fiß.
SENATE.
The Senate met pursuant to adjournment,
and was opened with prayer by the Rev. Mr.
Prettyman. The Journal was read and ap
proved. .
Mr. Nunnally moved to reconsider so much
of the Journal of yesterday as relates to the
consideration- of the Convention tax due,
with the funds uow in the hands of the
treasurer, which resolution'passed yesterday.
He was willing for the members to be paid ;
and having had a conversation with the
treasurer, he was convinced that it should
not be by resolution, but by bill from the
House.
The motion to reconsider prevailed, and
the resolution was laid on the table for the
present;
A petition was introduced by Mr. Wooten
in reference to the detaching of certain
militia of the county of Randolph to the
county of Terrell. Referred to the Com
mittee on new County and County Lines.
A petition from citizens of Augusta in
reference to payment of claims for teaching,
was referred to Committee on Education.
The Sub-Committee to visit the Deaf and
Dumb Asylum made a report.
The Committee on Public Printing made
a majority report, that the State Printer re
cently elected does not enter upon his duty
until next session. Also, a minority report,
vice versa.
Mr. Holcombe moved to suspend the rules,
which was agreed to, in order to read the
Hoase bill to amend the charter of the
Georgia Air Line Railroad.
The rules being further suspended, Mr.
Wellbourne offered a resolution in reference
to petitioning Congress to appropriate money
in removing obstructions from the Tennessee
river. Agreed to. and transmitted.
On motion of Mr. Speer, the bill to pro
vide for drawing jurors, so far as the Supe
rior Courts are concerned, was taken up,
passed, and transmitted.
The bill to incorporate the Etowah Manu
facturing Company was referred to the Com
mittee on Internal Improvements.
Mr. Hungerford, from the Committee on
Public Buildings, made a report in reference
to the buildings iu the city of Milledgeville.
Report received and laid on the table for the
present. The committee, in conclusion, re
commend the adoption of a resolution, that
inasmuch as a bill is now pending to amend
the Coustitutiou so as to remove the Capitol
back to Milledgeville, any disposition of the
building there at present is inexpedient.
They also recommend that the Governor be
authorized to employ an efficient guard for
the Capitol building and Executive Mansion.
The Senate resumed tho unfinished busi
ness of yesterday, which was the considera
tion of the bill for the relief of Mrs. Mar
garet Crew.
The main question Was ordered, and IJie
yeas and nays wers-required on tho passage
of the bill, and are I yeas o, nays' 28. So
the bill was lost.
The Senate took up the special order,
which was the consideration of the bill pro
viding a municipal election for the city of
Augusta, and the substitute offered in lieu
thereof.
Mr. Holcombe moved the adoption of the
substitute offered by himself. The people
desire it,- as is set forth by the petition of
fourteen hundred persons of that city. They
desire, in the first place, to defer it until
after the election of President. It meets
the views of a large portion of the citizens
of Augusta. Also, they desire the day of
election in December to be permanent, the
officers to be elected for one year. As to
the details of the two bills, they arc sub
stantially the same, except the time and the
oath as set forth at large in this bill. Also,
it is objected to because of the excitement
consequent upon the two frequent holding of
elections. The registry fee, in lieu of poll
tax, has been stricken out to avoid objections
by the Governor and a constitutional ques
tion. No harm can work to any one, and
all can see that the persons to superintend
registration are recommended as men of
high standing—two Democrats and three
Republicans. If a person loses his certifi
cate, he can by oath be permitted to vote,
and a man who would sell his certificate is
likety to vote upon either side. As the case
now stands, but a minority are represented,
and all parties should be fairly represented ;
if so, no injustice need be done. We ask
nothing else but simply to guarantee every
man his choice of rulers.
Mr. Winn said he could not understand
how a party having a certificate might be
deprived of his vote by the loss of it. He
wished to amend by insisting that the regis
tration books should be the guide, and he
was convinced that fraud might arise.
Mr. Couley said the bill he offered permits
all to vote, and they desired the election in
October, because the legality of the present
sitting of incumbents was doubted, and
taxes refused to be paid, and action is de
layed, and legislation blocked. He only asked
a fair election. He believed that a large
majority of the people of Augusta desired
the passage of his substitute, although a
large number had met and desired different
action. He hoped the Senators would look
carefully into the merits of the bill.
Mr. Adkins proceeded to discuss the mea
sure, being in tavor of an early election,
citing from the substitute, and commenting
upon the same, in support of his argument.
Mr. Hungerford said 'it did not become
him, occupying the relations he did to the
citizens of Augusta, to remain silent on the
question. All he wanted was a fair election.
He spoke not as a Republican or Democrat.
He came here to legislate lor all, including
his birthplace. He had been accused of leg
islating for party ; in some instances he did,
but not always. He wanted nothing but
justice and a fair election. First, let us do
this.
The bill of the Senator from the 18th,
speaking of the Ordinary being considered
as managers. Who are the men ? The
Ordinary, Clerk of the Court and Sheriff,
being afl Republicans, he objected to this
feature, as we should have one from the
other side. Who will they appoint as
registers of this election ? If it were myself,
they would be Republicans; but jg this
fair ?
Mr. H. continued, his remarks being
lengthy. Your reporter, for want of space,
cannot furnish them. Wc deem it proper
to say that Mr. Conley stated to Mr. 11.
that he was indifferent as to the board
appointed; cither mentioned would suit
him.
Mr. Smith of the 7th, followed in favor
of the bill as offered by Mr. Holcombe. He
had no doubt but tha| the people wanted an
early election, but the time was too short to
register. Mr. S. spoke at length, and we
regret that want of space forbids the publi
cation of his remarks.
Mr. Conley followed, offering substantially
the same explanation as heretofore given,
being willing to so amend his •!! as to
embody the features demanded, as con
tained in the bill of Mr. Holcombe-
Mr. Nunnally spoke against the bill as a
substitute offered by the Senator from the
18th. Pending his remarks, the Senate
adjourned until to-morrow morning at irtne
o’clock.
HOUSE.
Mr. 5V illiams, of Morgan, moved to sus
pend the rules to take up the resolution to
hold two sessions of the’ House daily.
Mr. Crawford made an earnest appeal to
mem.bets to sustain the motion,
The ayes Were 100, nays .33.
So the motion prevailed by one-fourth of a
vote.
The resolution was then taken up and
adopted.
The House, during the discussion of the
eligibility question, will meet at 9 o’clock a.
m., and adjourn at 12 m.; and meet again at
3 o'clock p. m., and adjourn at '6 p. m.
Mr. O'Neal, of Lowndes, roso to a ques
tion of privilege. He spoke of a com muni
c ition, a day or two since, from tho member
from Glynn, as unparliamentary, character
ized its statements as untrue, and denied the
charges contained in the communication.
He spoke of the standing of the editor of
the Constitution as being such iu his section
that his slanders of him (O’Neal) would be a
recommendation to him.
Mr. Hall,of Glynn, then spoke in delenccof
himself, and pronounced Mr. 0 'N eal a falsi
fier, saying that O’Neal did make the state
ments charged against him, and that he
dared him to meet the charges at uuy time
and place he might choose.
The Committee on Relief made a majority
and minority report.
Mr. Caldwell represented Mr. Warren
(colored), of Burke county. He read a
labored argument, and concluded with the
words, “ Let us have peace.”
Mr. Romulus Moore (colored) then spoke.
He said ho claimed his seat because the
State of Georgia seceded in 1861; because
the amnesty proclamation was refused;
because General Lee surrendered to General
Grant; because reconstruction was offered
to the South and refused ; because he was
nppointed a Registrar, nn officer of the
United States; because he was elected to
tire late Qm.ventiqn; and because he was
elected to the scat which he now occupies
by the qualified voters of his county. Hq,
was sorry to know that members of
his owu party were opposed to col
ored members holding seats here. He
took to Bible for his guide as well in
politics as in religion. He knew what Con
stitutions were ; could read’and write ; did
not believe there was a colored member on
this floor, who could not read and write. He
knew, in the late Convention, white members
who bad to get some one to sign their names
for them. He did not dsbbt there were some
in this House iu the same condition. He said
God had intended negroes should hold office,
and he believed He would curry the work
on. If turned out, he would go home and
tell his constituents they were denied repre
sentation hero. He would advise them to be
patient and obedient, and await the decision
of that high power which had originated the
reconstruction measures. By adopting the
Constitutional Amendment, we had put on
the top rail, and stake and rided if. He
believed, when the decision was made, these
negroes would be brought back here with
honor.
If God is pleased with the Constitutional
Amendment, you can't change it—you ean’t
change it unless you can overcome the armies
of the United 81 ites. He dealt largely in
Scripture, frt'qeesrtly illustrating his position
by quotations from the Bible. He spoke out
his hour, when Mr. Gardner arose to speak.
The raids were' suspended and a Senate
bill to provide for jurors at called or special
terms of coarts was read she first time.
The Senate resolution requesting the Gov
eruOr to issue a proclamation prohibiting
unlawful assemblages «f.armed citizens, was
agreed to. ■ ,
The House adjourned to 3 o’clock p. m.,
when Mr. Gardner has the floor.
The majority reported a bill fur the relief
of debtors, etc.
Mr. Anderson, of Cobb, offered a minority
report.

DEFEAT OF MUNICIPAL BILLS.
A Reconsideration To-Morrow.
THE AIR-LINE RAILROAD.
COLORED MEMBERS OUSTED.
Atlanta, September 3.
The Senate resumed the consideration of
the Augusta bill and substitutes.
There was a lengthy discussion by Messrs.
Hunter, Burns, Harris and Holcombe. The
latter called for the previous question.
Holcombe’s substitute was lost—yeas 15,
nays 18.
Conley’s substitute was lost—yeas 17,
nays 18.
The original House bill was lost -yeas
15, nays 18.
Parties to reconsider to-morrow
morning, and perfect either the bill of
Conley’s or Holcombe’s.
. A message was received from the Gov
ernor relative to the conduct of the late
Trca; urer, Jones, and requiring that official
to settle his accounts. Dr, Angier, the
present Treasurer, sent with ita letter from
Jones, who said that he was busy building
a warehouse, as the cotton season was near
at hand ; that he had uo money belonging
to the State ; wanted to settle, and would
be up on Monday next.
Great surprise was manifested by Senators
of all parties. Senator Harris said that
Jones had stated, when a candidate for re
election, that he had $270,000 on hand. The
matter was referred to the Finance Com.
mittee.
The Senate amended the House bill
amending the charter of the Air Line Rail
road. It makes the route via Gainesville,
and forbids its sale while in process of con
struction, and was then passe l.
The bill to incorporate the Nutting Bank
ing Company, requiring a two-thirds major
ity, was lost by three votes.
The House resumed discussion of the eli
gibility of colored members. Turner, of
Bibb, spoke two hours by permission. His
is said to be the best speech made on the
subject.
He said there was no parally’ in the his
tory of the world to the scene presented here
to-day. Never l/efbre was man arraigned
before a legislative body for an offence com
mitted by God himself. He did not know
till the past three weeks the imbecility of the
Anglo-Saxon race. This momentous ques
tion" will not be settled to-day, but handed
down to generations as long as the sun goes
down. Who first took up reconstruction un
der Congress? It was the brawny black man :
this is our Legislature, and the great ques
tion is am I a man ? If so, I claim the
rights of a man, Democratic principles
never find their level until they (ind them
in the negroes of the Plato and Proserpine
Democratic leaders. They advised the
people to remain away from the polls, and
blame negroes (or holding seats on this
floor. Every State was reconstructed under
an act “that no discrimination bo made on
account of color, race or previous con
ditions.” If every /ealawag and Carpet
bagger rides into power the black man
would ask Congress to take away the ballot
and submit tb ■ question to Congress, or the
Convention which made it, and will abide by
their decision. The Constitution of the
United States don’t recognize a God—His
name is not in it. 11 the measure is carried,
I will call a convention of my people and
send carp.-t-baggers, scalawags, Yankees, or
anybody, to the Legislature, except Geor
gians. You may drive us out, but it will
light a torch that will never be put out; ij
will make us your foes, and we will do all
we can to poison our race against the Dem
ocracy. This thing means revolution ; look
.out, carpet-baggers, when we go, they’ll turn
you out, impeach Bullock, and upset the
Constitution.

Atlanta'. Septembers.—ln the House at
half past five a vote was taken on the
eligibility question. The vote stood 80 to

passed, and 23 colored members turned
out. •
Belcher, Beard, Davis, and Fyall, four of
the twenty three voting against expulsion,
yet remain. No disturbance and the best

are assured by leading members of the Sen
ate and House that uo Such discreditable
proposition can be indorsed by the present
Legislature. They regard it as, in iivef, a
long step toward repudiation. We are assured
that measures will be adopted lor the pay
ment of every dollar of interest already
overdue, and to fall due, in currency.
A proposition is before the House fop the
Appointment of a fiscal agent for tho State.
Tho House also adopted a resolution which
directs the Attorney General to enter suit
against Ward, Bigg A Co., lessees of the
Penitentiary, for a balance of $21,000 due
the State.
