other memlicrs from Georgia on thia
floor held—a certificate from Major
General Meade, commanding in the
district of Georgia. I wish also to
Mate that no proceedings whatsoever
have been taken in the State of
Georgia which exhibit any dis
qualification against Mr. Christy,
certainly none wliich does not equally
apply to the gentleman who holds the
certificate from the Governor of tho
State of Georgia in opposition to that
of the military commander of the
State of Georgia. Mr. Wimpy, who
holds the certificate from the Gover
ernor of the State of Georgia, was, I
understand, during the rebellion, a
subordinate officer in the rebel army
of Georgia, in the employ of the Con
federate States, and would be utterly
disqualified from taking the oath, or
any oath whatsoever qualifying him as
a member of this House, provided he
had not been exempted by a special
act of Congress from all disqualifica
tions at the last session of Congress.
After his exemption from those dis
qualifications by a special act of Con
gress, he goes to the Governor of
Georgia and claims that Mr. Christy is
disqualified.. Mr. Christy' was always
a Union man prior to the war, a Whig
editor, who only yielded to the over
whelming impulse of tin State of
Georgia. Unable to receive protection
from the Federal Government, the
jure Government of the United States,
as well as of the State of Georgia, he
yielded obedience to the Gov-
ernment of the State of Georgia. He
was a Union man, and voted against
secession and exerted his whole influ
ence as a Whig editor against seces
sion ; but when it was discovered that
he was elected Mr. Wimpy came here
to Washington and received an ex
emption among, the three or four or
six thousand—l know not how many
there were —exemptions by Congress
which were suddenly enacted by Con
gress. He then went to the Governor
of the State of Georgia and claimed
the certificate from the Governor, not
because he had received the highest
number of votes, but a secondary
number. On that certificate he pre
sents himself here to this House and
claims the right to occupy a seat here.
I do not propose to make any extend
ed remarks upon this subject. I sup- :
pose the whole subject properly goes •
to the Committee of Elections, by'
whom it will be fully considered. I
therefore move that thsse papers be
referred to the Committee of Elections,
.and on that motion T call the previous
question.
Mr. Dawes. Will the gentleman
from New York [Mr. Brooks] with
draw' that motion ?
Mr. Brooks. Certainly I will do so.
Mr. Dawes. I understand the posi
tion of this case to be this—l did not
hear very distinctly the gentleman from
Mew York—but a paper is read at the
clerk’s desk which makes a charge of
disloyalty' against one of these gentle
men, and I understand the gentleman
from New York to make a similar
charge against the other. It has been
the rule of this House whenever a
charge is made in apparent good fath
tagainst the loyalty of any man present
ing himself for a seat in this House to
refer that question to the Committee of
Elections for examination before an
applicant is sworn in. These two men,
it seems, come here each claiming the
seat, and a charge is made against
each that he is ineligible to ofiica. I
think, therefore, that, without any
further delay, it would be proper that
this matter be referred to the Com
mittee of Elections, so that that com
mittee may investigate these charges.
I accordingly renew the motion of the
gentleman from New York.
The previous question was then
seconded and the main question order
ed ; and under the operation there
of the motion to refer was agreed to.
Mr. Brooks moved to reconsider the
vote by' which the motion to refer was
agreed to; and also moved that the
motion to reconsider be laid on the
table.
The latter motion was agreed to.
Mr. Schofield submitted the follow
ing resolution, on which he demanded
the previous question:
Hesolrrd, Tliat the Committee on Tlecon
tstruction examine into the condition of pub
lic affairs in Georgia, anti that the Coinmittee
have power to send for persons and papers.
The motion was agreed to.
The Speaker also laid before the
House a communication from the Gov
ernor of the State of Georgia, relative
to the inability of the legal State gov
ernment of that State to carry out
the laws of Congress; which was
referred to the Committee on Recon
struction.

Interesting I’roeceiling*.
As a matter of interest to the pub
lic, we give in our columns this morn
ing a complete report of the Proceed
ings of Congress on the 7th, in relation
to Georgia. This report is taken from
the Conyrtssiontd Globe of the Bth,
and is full, the debates being entire.
A Lively Day.
We observed in our streets yester
day quite a throng of cotton and pro
duce wagons from the country. If the
number of t hese vehicles arc any index
to the business of the city—and we
take it that they are—some of our
merchants at least must be reaping a
harvest in the rapid disposition of
their stocks. We rejoice at the busi
ness-like appearance which our city
now wears—it is an augury of good
to all. With a class of merchants
whose character takes high rank in
all that pertains to legitimate and
honest dealing, Augusta must con
tinue not only to hold fast to that
which she has, but to open up a still
wider channel of trade with contiguous
portions of the country. So mote it
lie.
Police Arrests.
Three colored peddlers, yesterday,
were overhauled by the police for vio
lation of city regulations in this mat
ter —Hampton Weeks, Charles Col
lier, and Oscar Elmore.
Two whites—Milo Loach and Mil
ledge Loach—were arrested for
drunkenness and disorderly conduct.
Randolph Beverly (colored) was
curtailed of his personal liberty for
drumming-—not in a musical way, but
as regards enticing persons into stores.
John Gillespie was accused' of
having compromised his honesty, and
for failure to establish the contrary, he
likewise was “gobbled up.”
• •
Recordfr's Court.
The following cases were called in
the Recorder’s Court yesterday morn
ing:
Henry Nealand—violation of the
18th section. The defendant was not
present, and the Recorder ordered a
warrant iss ted for his arrest.
Horace Hughes (colored),for ped
dling without license. It seems that
this unsuspecting ebony youth fell into
error at the hands of Horace, Sr.,
who holds a peddling license, and was
endeavoring to double on it. Plead
not guilty. Fined §2.50 and costs.
The case of John Hosely was
called up from a previous docket, but
no arrest having been made of the de
fendant, no examination was had.
•
In the Bacon Trade*.
A dusky individual, yesterday, con
ceived an uncontrolable desire to take
a part in the bacon trade of the city-
How to secure a stock was the per
plexing point. He was resolved—be
would start only in a small way. He
accordingly reduces the stock of Por
ter Fleming, Esq., by “ lifting” a
single ham, without asking the price,
but was intercepted in his flight, and
the bacon returned to its proper
owner. The thief was tendered quar
ters in the jail, and will be brought
before Justice Phinizy this morning,
at 10 o’clock, to give reason for the
faith that is in him. It is highly
probable that he is a broken merchant,
and that when his assets and liabilities
are compared, he will be forced to
take the benefit of the Chain Gang
Act.
♦> -
The Weather
On yesterday was decidedly liquid
under foot, and there was a perfect
mountain freshness in the wind, as it
came whistling around tho corners.
We took just a little of it, and returned
to our sanctum a colder, but not a
happier man. Not being a Norwe-*
gian, w e fail to discover the so-called
beauties of sleet, snow, etc. —they are
altogether foreign to our ideas of com
fort.
Portico an<l Fence Fncroach
ineut*.
Tn some localities in our city the en
croachment of porticoes and fences on
the sidewalks is an evil that should be
remedied, particularly on those streets
dimly lighted. Many of these fences
aptly describe a fashionable young
lady on a Grecian Bender—they are
“in the way.” Let them be straight
ened out, and thus give pedestrians
what properly belongs to them. With
the local of the Norfolk 7)<t>/ Book,
we exclaim:
Down with old mgyisiu.
Its works and its talk,
I x‘t us be practical
And bnvc ronin to walk
Imw.
Yesterday luorung, eouiinemjing,
about ’ o’clock, there was quite a
i expectable fall of mow in thin
b»cAlity. It was preceded by rain and
sleet, and hence, owing to the some
w hat liquid condition of the earth, did
not remain visible but a few hours
after sunrise. The boys, however,
managed to indulge themselves in
their favorite amusement of pelting
each other with snow-balls—composed
partly of mud.
Grren. by all Mean*.”
We do not positively know that any
of our fair readers are as enthusiastic
and decided in their partiality for
“green,” as a color of costume, as was
the unfortunate milk-maid. Ts so, we
here describe a costume which the
Bostonians are parading on their prin
cipal promenades. The material—
bottle green—was made with the un
der skirt entirely plain, and full gored;
upper skirt a deep pointed front. The
back gores, one ou each side ol the
two straight back breadths, were
looped high with large and heavy ro
settes of the dress material. The deep
but small punier was supported by a
w ide French pleating,. trimmed with
the same heavy bullion fringe that fin
ished the bottom of the upper skirt
The short, tight fitting pelisse, had a
long, pointed capehood reaching to the
top of thepitoier, and terminated with
a heavy tassel; coat sleeves trimmed
with a heavy gimp of twisted bullion.
A green velvet bonnet, close to the
face, with deep gilt buttons aroupd
the edge, the ties fastened with a gilt
clasp, and entirely without other or
nament ; and a pair of close-fitting
green kid boots, fastened with gilt
buttons, completed this stylish and
pretty outfit.
Stale Agricultural Conven
tion. —About one hundred delegates
from various parts of the State are in
attendance upon the Convention here.
Business pours so fast upon the Secre
tary that wc are instructed to say that
the official record of proceedings will
not appear until after the adjournment.
So soon as the Convention was called
to order, B. C. Yancey, Esq., in the
Chair, a committee was appointed
upon the subject of a union of the
various societies represented. This
committee after retirement and debate,
reported a proposition to unite and
organize under the charter of the old
State Agricultural Society of Georgia,
and that the Legislature should be
memoralized to for such amendments
to the same as would ’ embrace all the
objects of the various associations ami
adapt the organization to the situation
and wants of the people.
The report and resolutions being re
ceived and adopted, the Convention
proceeded to enroll members, and
afterwards elect officers, with the fol
lowing result:
President—David Dickson, of Han
cock.
Vice Presidents—First Congression
al District—Win. Schley of Chatham.
Second District—Gen. Goode Bryan,
of Lee.
Third District- J. A. Miller, of
Houston.
Fourth District—Jos. Clisbv, of
Bibb.
Fifth District—B. T. Harris, of
Hancock.
Sixth District—B. C. Yancey, of
Clarke.
Seventh District—C. W. Howard,
of Bartow.
The following gentlemen were then
appointed the Executive Committee :
C. W. Howard, of Bartow; James
A. Nisbet, of Bibb; J. S. Hamilton, of
Clarke; W. J. Russell, of Clarke;
B. T. Harris, of Hancock; J. V. Jones,
of Burke; A. S. Reid, Sr., Putnam;
C. M. Irwin, of Lee; B. 11. True, of
Morgan; P. W. J. Echols, of Fulton ;
T. R. Bloom, of Bibb; D. W. Vis
cher, of Houston; J. Hillsman, of
Crawford.
The afternoon session was princi
pally devoted to a desultory discus
sion of the emigration question, with
out any definite conclusion. The
Convention has before it a highly in
teresting communication upon this
subject from F. Schaller, General
State Agent of Immigration for Vir
ginia, which we will publish as soon
as convenient. The Convention ad
journed till this morning at nine
o’clock.— Mocon Tel.
A Successful Colored Corn uni
ty.—Two-thirds of the population of
Calvin Township, Cass county, Michi
gan, is made up of colored people.—
They pay one half the taxes, supply
three entire school districts, averaging
from sixty-five to seventy scholars
each, and are about equal in four others,
and paid $2,500 taxes last year. They
own most of the land in the town, and
that the most choice, amounting to
14,400 acres, which is worth §4O per
acre, making their entire valuation in
landed property §576,000. Os course
they have in addition a large amount
of other property.
—lt is rumored that Jno. Slidell in
tends to make an effort to recover bis
property in New Orleans, and for this
purpose has executed a power of attor
ney to two New Orleans gentlemen.
This was acknowledged before Gen.
Dix, American Minister in Paris, by
John Slidell and his daughter, and in
Frankfort by his sou, before the U. S.
Consul there. Young Slidell is a clerk
in Erlanger's bank. •
—San Francisco is overrun with
fleas of large size, and elegant “back
scratchers” in ivory, it is said, are a
common ornament of the parlor
table.
—The lumber mills of Minnesota
