Interesting Case of Alleged Lunacy, The New York papers contain the details of the incarceration, in the Bloomingdale Lunatic Asylum, on a charge of lunacy, of Commodore Richard W. Meade, Sr.,ofthe I nitetl States Navy. The Commodore, through his counsel and some personal friends, denies that he is insane, and legal means are being resorted to to secure his restoration to freedom. Captain Meade was arrested at the instance, it is stated, of his wife and children. His lawyers charge that they were impelled to this course by a desire to break his will, which disin herits a portion of his family-. One of the physicians certifying to his insanity publishes the following defence of his action ; On the morning of the 13th of October last, Meade was brought to the medical de partment of the City Prison by Roundsman Croker, of the First District Court Sound, on a charge of insanity. He was accompa nied by several naval gentlemen, one of whom,’! believe, was his son. One of the partv had a letter from Surgeon Bache, of the t nited States Navy, in which was certi fied tliat Dr. Baelie had known Commodore Meade for a number of years, and that he believed the said Meade to be insane, and that he ought to be sent to the proper p ace lor treatment. 1 thereuixm entered into conversation with the Commodore, in order to ascertain whether he was insane ■ r not. lie immediately commenced a violent rant ing and incoherent tirade against the mem bers of his family, but particularly referred to his brother, General Meade, hfc son, and his daughter, the two former having dis graced themselves by becoming Protestants, and the latter by marrying a Protestant. lie fell upon his knees, and began to pray with great vehemence, invoking God to destroy them for apostatizing from the true faitlw During the whole of his stay in the City Prison he was violent and vicious, at one time praying, and then again cursing and denouncing. I, therefore, concluded, from liis general appearance, which was wild and haggard, and from the nunbling and incon sistent nature of his discourse, that he was suffering from n disordered condition of his reasoning faculties, and ought to be sent to some institution for treatment; and accord ingly Dr. Anderson and myself made the necessary affidavit, which transferred him to the care of Dr. D. Tildon Browne, the learned physician-in-chics of the Blooming dale Lunatic Asylum. Per contra, the defence made affi. davit to Captain M.’s absolute sanity, and have applied for a writ of habeas .corpus, which will be issued in a few days. As there is plenty of money in the family to grease the lawyers, we must expect bitter and, perhaps, prolonged litigation. Commodore Meade is a brother of Major General Meade, commander of this Military Department. He was not in favor with the Navy Depart ment during the war, and chafed much because he was denied the op portunity of defending the Stars and Stripes in some encounter with the Confederates. The writer of this article has wit nessed him in his tangents, and feels constrained to say, if he Is not insane, he is the most eccentric man in the country. The Admission oe the Georgia Senators.—The presentation of the credentials of Hon. Joshua Hill, claiming a seat ns United States Sena tor from Georgia, brings before the Senate the whole question as to whether Georgia has been reconstructed ac cording to the requirements of the several acts of Congress on that sub ject, and whether, if she has been so reconstructed, she has not since viola teiLthc Fourteenth Article of the Con stitution of the United States ? Our position on these questions is too well known to require repetition here. The issue is uow before Congress, and all the facts pro and con, are within the reach of the members. All we ask is that the decision may'lje in accordance with the law and the facts. Person:tl interest* should nut be per mitted to control the action of the Senate in the decision of Mr. Hill’s claims, and the witbholding of Dr. Millers looks vert much as if the .Senate was exjiected to admit the former because it is Joshua Hill, without rcgaril to the principle. As suredly the Semite will remember that principles are everything awl men nothing when their claims come in con flict with principles. The interests of a whole people should not lx: sacriticetl to gratify the ambition of even Mr. Joshua Hill. A Define* of Coweta County Officials Some time since wc published nn affidavit, taken Ixivre the military au thorities at Atlanta, in which Thomas BrADLts related Uic fact ot the murder oi liis brother in t'ouctn county, and charged the officials of that county with culpable neglect ami delay in attempting to arrest the murderer. Tin Newnan HorafJ publishes a de fence of these .officials, which it re quest* iim to transh-r to our column*. A* we have no disposition in the world to do injustice to any living creature, we inw-rl so much oi the H ralfs article as is material to the issue, with the remark that, if the facts arc as staled, the officials are blameless. The Herald, after pub lishing Beadle’s affidavit, says : In llienliovc affidavit then is a little lhat is true and much that is false. It is true that Rich Beadles, colored, was killed at the time and place stated, and we suppose Mr. Kinchen Wellborn was the slayer. Il is not true, however, that Mr. Pittiuaii bad any thing to do with the killing, but, on the con trary, be swears, and nolxxly doubts his testimony, that he refused even Io hand the gun to Wellborn. It is true, we believe, that Wellborn’s plantation is located five miles from Newnan. It is not true that the killing was brought to the notice of the civil authorities the same day of the “mur der,'’ but, on the contrary, tho affidavit on which the warrant was issued, was not sworn to until the next day. It is not true the war rant for thejan-e-t of Wellborn was placed in the hands of Richard 51. Hackney, Sheriff, on the 17th. but it was handed to him very late, about night on the 18th. twenty-six or twenty-eight hours after the killing. But if it had been placed in his hands on the eve ning of the 17th, inasmuch ns the “murder" (we quote this word) was committed at three o'clock, p. m., at the admitted distance of five miles from Newnan, it would have been night before Hackney could have arrived at Wellborn's house, for the party who brought the news and made the affidavit would have consumed two hours in reaching Newnan, finding the Justice of the. Peace and Sheriff, and after the warrant was in Mr. Hackney's hands, it would have required one and a half hours for him to have prepared himself and horse, and ridden five miles. The officer could not have been at Wellborn’s before half-past six o’clock, to which time from the killing, three p. m., Wellliorn would have had in which to make his escape. In order to further clear Mr. Hackney of any blame in this affair, it may be proper to say that he has served as Sheriff of Coweta county for seventeen years, and just two weeks to a day prior to’ the killing of Rich Beadles, was elected Sheriff by both parties, receiving near 1,200 majority over his op ponent. It is not presumable that Mr. H. could have, from this circumstance alone, desire to discharge his duties in a manner prejudicial to the rights of the blacks. We do not know it to be true, but it is more than probable that the deceased voted for him, for every political leader of the blacks and hun dreds of others did. It is known by all who have enquired concerning his conduct that he did make a faithful, honest and prompt effort to arrest Wellborn, but .Mr. W, could not be found. Batty H. Mitchell, Esq., the Notary Public who issued the warrant, is uu apjxjintee of Gov. Bullock. Mr. Mitchell, moreover is re cognized as a good, true and reliable citizen, and experienced officer, and could not have had any agency in delaying the issuing of the proper letml process. ‘ As to the delay in holding the Coroner’s inquest, we have this to say; The inquest was not held until Friday morning. Why it was held at all we do not know, for it could benefit no one,; and why held at such a late day wc do not know. But there is one thing we do know, and that is that tlic Coroner was elected by negroes, without the assist ance of not exceeding fifty white votes, and is notoriously a Radical in politics. It seems to us that any charge from a Radical source against the action of the Coroner comes with exceeding bad taste. At least, it is not fair Io blame the Democratic party, the whites of Coweta eounly for the faildre of a Radical official to perfimn his duties. It is but right and just, however, to say that wc do not believe that Wingo, the Coroner, is blamablc for the delay in this matter. We have no doubt tliat he moved, officially, as soon as he was informed that his services were needed or required The truth is, no official is to blame for Wellborn’s escape. The circumstances sur rounding him were such that promptness of officials could not have prevented it. No class of citizens or officers are blamablc for Hie killing and the escape of Hie slayer. The failure to arrest Wellborn does not prove that the authorities are unwilling to discluirge their duties in good faith to both races. Surely the Reiwblkax does not expect everv white citizen in Coweta county, after a crime of any kind lias been committed against a black man, to cease all business and pursue the. criminal, even after knowledge of the crime, much less liefore dioy are aware it has been committed. They do not act tads toward the injured of tlieir own race, and surely an injured negro ought not to expect more rights or sympathy thana white man similarly situated’ Laziness Rebuked. Wc have frequently referred to the indolent disposition of many of the young men of Georgia, and pointed out to them the absolute necessity of abandoning such a life. The exist ence of this tetTiblc curse, laziness, and the necessity of reform, is now beinw ventilated bv the leading Press of the State, and our wisest and best citizens. The Constitutionalist is publishing conspicuously a series ot articles by a correspondent, which should fall into tho bands of every young man in Georgia. This writer takes the orthodox view that any man, or people, tailing to gain his or their bread by the sweat of their face, ax commanded by the Divine Law git er, will inevitably, sooner or later, suffer the penalty for a violation of God's precepts. AVc quote the following crushing rebuke of laziness from his last letter: In writing tlic present article, 1 set out with the same idea that I advanced in the paper before litis—that many Georgians, and par baps others, arc seeking to cat their bread in some other way than in the sweat of their face. We wisli to find people who will study chemistry, who arc industrious, tober, frugal, intelligent—who will go on ottr f*rms as laborers, and make money for us, while we are lolling in tiie shade, too indolent to even go out and see what is going on. Many of us are too lazy to lock our eorn-crib door*. If we live in town, and we fortunate enough to have wood houses, we arc t<x» careless to see that they arc fastened. AVe expect to find servants who will do everything exactly right, witiioul putting ourselves to the least trouble. Good Heaven*! If intelligent, «xlu rated laborers conic here—men win. under stand the rotation of crops, the tillage ot land, the various systems of manuring—in short, if what wc sec so often spoken of in J the newspaper' as “ skilled labor” should I cnuic here, can we suppose it will sell itself to us. when land is cheap as it is now The I Sotitliern people iiavc much to unlearn ami much to learn.

Tlic Wtahliigton corrrßpon donee oi a New York paper contains the following as among the contents of flic report: Ttie funding of the public debt and the cmitrai-tion of tlic jmper circulation by the redemption nf the l lifted State' noil's is treated clalsmitely. tliough the Secretary <>iqK>scs a forced resumption, or tlic naming of any time bv hgislution for n-suming specie payments. Tli< tundiii” <>l tlie public debt, as a step in that direction, may lie noted as follows: I p io December 1, of seven-thirty notes liave been funded into six per cent, live twenty bonds; of this amount there have been funded of the first series *205.565,700: second series, *tklo,lßß,- 200; third series. 1107.873,450. This leaves outstanding of this class of securities but s2,:tofi,ls<>. The compound interest notes, all of which became due Is-tween the 10th of June, 1807, ami the 10th of October, 1808, have not all been redeemed, but have been exchanged for three per cent, certificates, leaving but a few millions outstanding. The Secretary estimates the expenditures for tin: fiscal year ending June 30th 1870, to be $250,000,000 in round numbers, though the War Department, in lite event of an Indian war, will call for several additional millions. Twenty-five millions required for bounties by this 'department for the present fiscal year are not required for the next. The report will further show that lietween November Ist, 1801', and November Ist, 1868 thcpublic dcbt. less cash in the treasury, has been reduced *35,625,102.82. These arc the twelve months in which the comparison is made. If the November increase were added in this statement, of course the decrease would be seven or eight millions less. Tlic receipts show that the internal revenue will be about *I20,(KX),000 for the present fiscal year, and the estimates of revenue for the next fiscal .year are about >*80,000,000 less than last year, owing to the reduction of taxation. The re port shows tlic interest on the public bebt to be in round numbers *140,000,000 per annum, or *10,000,000 more than the estimates for tlic fiscal year. A Glass House.—The Chronicle cb Sentinel denounces Gov. Bullock lor summoning the Electoral College on the day designated by the Code of Georgia. That paper intimates that if a Democrat had been Governor, no such mistake would have occurred. Unfortunately for this theory, General Gordon, their candidate for Governor against Governor Bullock, is one of the Electors for the State at Large, and it clearly follows if he had been better posted than Governor Bullock he would have exposed the fact in time. Nearly all of the Electors are Democratic lawyers, and none of them were wiser than the Governor. The editor of the Chronicle claims to be a lawyer, and every’ one knows he would have proclaimed the error if he had known more than any one else.
