Arre*ted an *l» c Train.
At Union Point, yesterday, a telegram
was received, which caused the arrest, on
the train from Atlanta, of two colored men
who had a large amount of money in their
possession. They got on t'e train a*
Decatur. They were promptly arrested by
conductor Hicks, and sent back by the train
from Augusta going up. The amount of
money stolen was said to be nearly fourteen
hundred dollars.
Gratifying Intelligence.
We are assured by a reliable friend,
sojourning in Atlanta, that the partner of
the Constitutionalist establishment, who has
been log-rolling at the Capitol the Augusta
municipal bill, assured the members that, if
the bill were passed and ‘our citizens know
what is what, the tax-payers would at once
pay up their taxes,’ etc., ate.
Well, a bill has been passed. And if the
indignalionists’ agent alluded to is to be
believed, there will soon be plenty of money
in the City Treasury.
Hk** ■
RllElnelß ProEpccts,
There is reason to believe that the pro
longed period of business inactivity has
almost terminated, and that we may now
look for a gradual improvement. It is not
so much that we have commenced to ascend,
ns that the lowest depth has been reached,
and there must consequently soon be a
better condition of affairs.
Perhaps the most important feature of
business affairs iu New York is the gradual
departure from the extreme ease of the
money market. We learn from the Bulletin
that money is in more active demand than
it has been for several months past, although
still easy. The bank statements of New
York, Boston and Philadelphia show that
there is a drain of currency to the West for
the movement of the crops. The demand
for money for grain discounts is quite ac
tive, and caused an advance of one per cent,
in the rates of interest last week. Currency
is also going West op account of wool pur
chases, and as a rule the Western banks are
diminishing their Eastern reserve in order to
meet the wants of their Immediate cus*
turners.
These features constitute the most
healthy features of business development
•hat have occurred for some time. They
are the first significant of the
great movement of the cotton and bread
stuffs crops which are destined to impart
new life and vigor to the industry of the
country. The West and South are usually
bare of all kinds of goods, and they will
soon have the means of obtaining supplies
in exchange for the produce. The Fall
and Winter trade, therefore, promises to
he active, and the changes in the money
market constitute tljc first demand for
capital for legitimate business in place of
speculative purpose that has occurred for
some time.
The excitement and uncertainty of the
approaching Presidential eanvass may
check but not entirely retard the progress
of business improvement. The issued raised
respecting the national finances nrnst
operate to render capitalists extremely
cautious. But these and other unfavorable
aspects may be more than counteracted by
ho abundant harvests that promise such an
immense increase in our national wealth,
and which will set in motion innumerable
springs of industry.
The manufacturers are generally active,
with a good though limited demand lor
goods for immediate consumption. The
repeal of the tax on manufactures has been
beneficial to the interests of employers,
although it has not resulted iu diminishing
prices to consumers. It was no slight advan
tage, however, that the repeal of the tax
prevented a suspension of operation in man
ufacturing industry that might otherwise
have taken place. The import trade is
marked by the same caution that distin
guishes all other branches of business. In
the case of a brisk demand for goods lor the
fall trade, there is every probability of prices
being well sustained, as neither the home
nor the foreign markets are likely to be over
stocked with goods.
Hard Tlmcil * 1 *"
The best way to assist Hard Times is to
sit down and bewail them; lhe cure for
them is locked up in the millions of broad

Money is of itself a fiction, though of all
fictions invented it is the pleasantest io
possess. So long as there is a plenitude of
land to cultivate, so long the fears of national
bankruptcy are foolish. The problem will
soon resolve itself, if let alone.
If money is scarce, lhe next thing to be
done is to get along with the less of it. We
tan neither eat nor wear it—and therefore,
convenient as it is as a means of barter, it
18 not absolutely indispensable, for the sins-
I’le reason that it does not contain the life--
g!ving elements. One thing is certain :
thousands of those thrown but of employ
"rent by the industries in which they were
engaged being crippled, will have to strike
°nt for the broad prairies of the West; and
'bis class at least will soon retrieve their
present misfortunes. Another class, the
-undreds of youug men who consider any
bing legs than a ‘profession’ beneath them,
an d who are driven to all manner of expedi
tats to maintain their position in society,
w ili nearly starve before giving up the chase
f '-ra ‘genteel’ method of earning a liveli
‘-°d» bufthere is hope for them when they

Mr. Darnell rose to a question of privi

Jfr. Speaker— l rise to a question of privi
lege. 1 observe in the Constitution, a news
paper published in this city, some reference
is made to my action in the House of Repre
sentatives on the resolution involving the
eligibility of tire colored members. I desire
to state to this House that I voted to retain
them because the Constitution of the State
gives them the right to hold office ; and be
cause I had solemnly taken an oath to sup
port that Constitution; and in pursuance of
the Code of Georgia on the subject of the
rights of citizens, and in pursuance of the
Constitution of the United States, and espe
cially the Fourteenth Article, and in further
ance of lhe opinion of some of the best
legal minds of the State.
The editor of the Constitution himself, not
six months since, made war on the Constitu
tion of the State for the very reason it con
ferred upon lhe colored man the tight to
hold office. Ben. ifill, Gordon, Reuse, Cobb,
Cabinesq Toombs, all the Lamars, and every
Democratic paper in the State said they were
entitled to their seats: but this is not the
strongest reaspn I have (or my vote. It was
from conscientious principles of right and
justice to all classes of our people.
When I desire the advice of gentlemen to
dictate to me how I shall vote, I will take
pleasure iu calling on them.

There are rnnny people in this country
who mouth the word ‘Conservatism,’ and
ring the changes upon it, and take it lor
(heir ‘text till sides and benches fail,’ but
they could no more tell you what it means,
save and excepting that it signifies some
thing that is not Radical—that is all.
Words ai«l phrases not, amount to
much. Acts and deeds tell the story. One
man calls himself a.Conservative, and sets
down his neighbor a Radical. He assumes
that conservative is lhe synonym of all the
virtues, and what he chooses to denominate
radicalism th? embodiment of all that is
corrupt, destructive, and unpatriotic in its
relations to the Government and the coun
try. Let us see what conservatism is. Be
fore and during the war, as symbolized,
embodied, and illustrated by those calling
themselves Conservatives, it meant the
maintenance, preservation, and perpetuation
of slavery. There was no declaration more
frequent in the mouths of th'e blatant Demo
crats than this: ‘The Constitution as it is,
aud the Union as it was;’ meaning the con
servation of that institution with all its
abominations to the end of time. The war
destroyed ths legal and constitutional status'
ts that great wrong, and it has no longer the
semblance of protection, either in the Con
stitution or tlie law; a'nd conservatism now
means the preservation and perpetuation ol
its spirit. Slavery is dead, but its amimus
is to be perpetuated, and this is the work of
the Conservative (or Copperhead) party.
Conservatism means desputuun oyer a class,
and that class the colored people. For this
fell purpose the Northern and Southern De
miocracy are united ; and wish thia purpose
in, view. they denounce erefry mam—North
and South, who accepts the situation and is
content to let slavery ami its spirit die out—
as a Radical. ...
Ituporlaul Diacovery.
A valuable discovery in Telegraphing is
announced, which does away with all the
jars and fluiW heretofore used in telegraph
offices, aud a currant of electricity sufficient
ly strong for alljjurposesis drawn from the
earth by means of one sheet of copper and
one sheet of zinc buried iu (lie earth to the
depth of two feet.
Forrest’s Opinion of Grant.—lt is a
remarkable fact that all the abuse of Grant
comes from those who took no part in the
war on either side. The valiant editor of
the World, that chaste writer Brick Pomeroy,
and his feeble imitators, all consider, or pre
tend to consider, that Grant is a fool, a
brutal butcher who has no military skill, a
thief who steals cotton and spoons, and a
notorious liar without brains. Gen. Forrest,
however, who was a delegate to the Ney
York Convention, has quite another opinion
of Grant, aud says: ‘‘l regard him as a
great military commander, a good man,
honest and liberal, and if elected, will, I
hope and believe, execute tAe laws honestly
and faithfully. And, by the way, a report
has been published its some of the papers,
stating that while Gen. Grant and lady wbre
at Corinth, in 1862, they took and carried
off furniture and other property. 1 here brand
the author as a liar. I was t»t Corinth only
a short time ago, and / personally investi
gated the whole matter, talked with the peo
ple with whom he and his lady lived while
there, and they say that, their conduct was
everything that could have been expected of
a gentleman sand lady, and deserving lhe
highest praise. Lam opposed to General
Grant in everything, but I would do him
justice.”
> -e
Giving Ui> The Ship.—Horatio Seylhour
in his letter to Colin M. Ingersoll, former
representative in Congress from Connecti
cut, declares that his friends “have plunged
him into ft sea of troubles,” and adds with
wailing despair: “I do not know how the
eanvass will go, but now that I am in lhe
fight I will do the best I can.” So well for
the General-in-Chief. And George H. Pen
dleton, the Democratic leader in the North
west, telegraphs to General MoClernand, of
Illinois, giving up his engagements in that
State, aWing to the condition of politics in
Ohio, a dispatch which MeClerhand prints
to propitiate a disappointed Democracy.
These mournful voices, no longer con
cealed by the discouraged leaders of the
Democracy, are but the echoes of popular
apprehension. From the day when Seymour
and Blair were nominated—a day of con
sternation and woe —the progress of Demo
cratic disintegration has been going on.
The ten thousand secret confessions of
defeat by individuals arc now supplemented
by the public lamentations of the leaders
themseh’es. Washington Chronicle.
~
To-the Southern Republicans,—Pa
tience, friends ! Forbearance and patience !
The one remedy for all youi grievances is
lhe election of Grant aud Colfax. No per
manent help cun come from any other
source. Hence, it should be your study to
leave threats and violence to the rebels—the
white aristocracy—to Pike nnd Forrest—to
Hampton and Aldrich -to Vance aud Wise
—to Prnsioii and Magoffin. Their savage
appeaW ato doing more good to the Republi
can cause than all the arguments of the best
orators, and it should be the study of the
Southern Unionists, white and black, to let
the rebel incendiaries work. It will cure
everything—even a new rebellion; and when
Grant comes to administer the Government,
we will be all the stronger because we have
not retaliated.— Washington Chronicle.

Atlanta, Ga., September 4, 1868.)
Whereas, In accordance with the following
resolution, adopted August 31,1868:
“ Retailed, That the Secretary of the Senate
lieidirected to furnish his Excellency, the Gov
ernor, with a complete eopy of the proceedings
of the Sanale as to the eligibility of Aaron A.
Brfldley as Senator from the Fu-st Senatorial Dis
trier, and the Seating ol Hon. Rufus E. Lester as
Senator legally elected and qualified from said
District,” the said proceedings have been placed
to this office; and whereat, from the said proceed
ings it appears that the cause of the alleged ineli
gibility was the conviction of said Bradley of an
offense, punishable with imprisonment in the
penitentiary, and that the suid Bradlev had been
convicted of seduction in the State of New York,
in the year 1851, and was sentenced to the State
prison of that State for two years; aud it further
appearing from said proceedings, that on the I3th
i or August, 1868, the following resolution was
i adopted, to-wrt:
( “ Resolved by the Senate, That A. A. Bradley
was at the time of his election, and still is ineligi
ble to a seat as a member of this Senate under the
Congtitntion of the State;’ and whereas, from
the said proceedings it further appears, that on
the 22d day oi August, by a vote of a majority,
the claim of the said Kufua E. that he
having received the next highest numbefof vptea,
was entitled under the laws of the State to the
seat of the said Bradley, was granted, and that lie
was thereupon sworn in us Senator from the First
Senatorial District: > . .
Now, therefore, I, Rufus B. Bullock, Governor
of the State of Georgia, and Commander iu-Ciiief
of the army and navy thereof, do issue this, my
proclamation, recalling the proclamation of the
Btli day of August, 1868, to the Ordinarie* of the

W hereas, Il is a matter of much importance
that the Penitentiary should be as little expense
as possible, if it can not be made a source of rev
enue to the State, and considering that a certain
class of the convicts therein may be more profitably
employed outside than iuside the walls, m consid
eration whereof— . . _■
Ordered, That the Principal Keeper of oi<-
Penitentiary be, ami he is hereby authorized to
take out of tlie Penitentiary aud employ at hard

sound discretion may think proper, ou any lands
or buildings pertaining to and adjoining the Slate
Lunatic Asylum,*nd ut ary place or places within

always keeping awatabie guard about such con
victs to prevent escape: Provided, That be take
