Miscellaneous Editorial Items Theodore Tilton, in a recent lec ture, in referring to the saying by some people that it was an ill omen to see so many Catholic Churches erected in this country, said, that although a Protestant from the top of his head to the sole of his loot, he onh thanked Goo for it, and he only wished that the number of Catholic institutions would be doubled. A Funny Mistake was the cause of Judge Barnard’s indignant charge to the Grand Jury, and the consequent indictment by that body of Air. Hay mond, of the New York Thues. It appears that the article which excited the ire of the virtuous Judge did not appear in Air. Haymond’s paper at all; but in the Jersey City Tinies, a journal published outside of the juris diction of the Judge. The indictment of Raymond has been abandoned. Many murderers are escaping mer ited purishment throughout the coun try, by pleading insanity. The more horrible the crime, the greater proba bility that the. criminal will escape. Doctors seem to have convenient con sciences in giving testimony in cases of alleged insanity. We have already noticed the release <>l Commodore Meade, confined on a charge of luna cy. If he kills a man this week, ho will be acquitted because of con firmed insanity. Bar-Room sponges are great nui sances ; but they are nothing to be compared with family sponges.

December 9, is<>B. j Gentlemen—As I have been informed thut interested and designing persons have started a report tliat the effort now being made to have tlie reconstruction acts en forced by Congress is only done in the inter est of a'“ faction,” and for the purpose of placing myself in tiie Senate, I desire to say —and invite you to make the statement pub lic wherever it may be proper—that 1 never have been, and never will be, a candidate for any position, unless regularly nominated by a full and free expression of the whole party. My only ambition and desire is that the law shall be so enforced in Georgia that my self and family, and others who, like myself, have supported the reconstruction policy of Congress, can live in our native State as private citizens in safety and with jieace and quiet. I am fully satisfied that if our Legislature irad been organized as the reconstruction acts required, it would have Wen a loyal body; and loyal fruits, instead of revolutionary acts, would have been the result. I am there fore in favor of a strict enforcement of the law, and the refusal by Congress of any recognition of the unlawful legislative orga nization in our State, because to recognize that body would be an admission by the law making power of the land that its laws are mere buncombe resolutions, and can be ignored and defied with impunity, and the result will be anarchy. The advancement or promotion of any one man's, or any number of men’s, personal or political interests have no weight with me. My only desire is that loyalty and law shall be supreme and respected al home as they are here. Very Respectfully, Foster Blodgett. Chairman State Central Committee, I nion Republican Party, Georgia.

Thcconallcmtions ol climate, or what is the same thing, health, of rich soil, ot long lines of railroads and con genial society make inducements such as the South can not offer either to the ]xx>|>i< - of die Northern Suites or to Eun>|xwis. I’besc are facts which the Southern ]xnple will do well to consider. The best thing tliey can do is to go to work—to ad! in and to create skill, to live in peace, to multiply and replenish, and they will find use lor all their lands. After they have fairly tried to live within themselves, and failed, it will be time enough to call upon Northern people, but be it re membered that the North will rcqxrnd to no invitntb n until these back lands are peopled, that is, until there are people to spare. All the above jjiay be, and doubtless a portion is, true; but ii we are not mistaken it is not consistent witli opinions heretofore expressed by the Tribune. The writer may be correct in his assertion : that Northern people are not readv to locate in the South, and will not be until all the vacant lands of the great West arc occupied; but we radically differ with him. There are thousands of persons w ho belonged or visited the Federal Army during the war, who are determined to make the South their home. It is not true either that as much money can be made by farming in the West as can be realized here in Georgia. We arc sorry to see the Tribune throw' cold water on immigration to the South. We hope that paper is not more anx ious to create new States in the West than to vitalize the old States of the South. Georgia Reconstruction In the Senate of the United States, December 9, 1868, Air. Summer asked, and by unanimous consent obtained, leave to bring in the following bill; which was read twice and ordered to be printed: A bill to carry out the Reconstruction Acts in the State of Georgia. ■Whereas, in the act of Congress entitled “An act for the more efficient Government of the rebel States,” among which is enumerated Georgia, it is provided that until the people of said rebel States shall by law be admitted to representation in Congress, any civil gov ernment which may exist therein shall be provisional only, and such States arc divided into military districts; and whereas, in the supplementary Reconstruction Act, bearing date July 19.1867, it is further provided that “all persons hereafter elected or appointed te office in said military districts under any so-called State or municipal authority shall be required to take and subscribe the oath of office prescribed by law for officers of the United Statesand whereas it was the true intent and meaning of the act above men tioned that persons allowed to participate in the .provisional legislation of any of the rebel States prior to their admission to representa tion by Congress should lake and subscribe the oath above mentioned ; and whereas the Legislature of Georgia, elected under and by virtue of an act of Congress known as the reconstruction acts, on the 20th, 21st, 22d, and 23d of April, 1868, and which assembled on the 4th of July, 1868, failed to comply with the foregoing requirement, so that such Legislature was never organized according to law; and whereas, further, this Legislature, thus defective in organization, has pretended to act as if it were a legislative body duly constituted, and has done certain things ut terly unjustifiable, and requiring the interven tion of Congress: Therefore, lie it enacted by the Senate and House of lieprrscntatives of the Uniiat States of Amer ica in t'onyress oxscioblid. That the civil gov ernment actually existing in Georgia is pro visional only, and in all respects subject to the paramount authority of the United States at any time to abolish, modify, control, or supersede the same, until a Legislature or ganized in accordance with the requirements of the act of July nineteenth, eighteen hun dred and sixtv-seven. shall have auly ratified the amendineht to the Constitution of the United States, proposed by the Thirty-Ninth Congress, and known as article fourteen, when the State, according to the act afore said, will be subject to the fundamental con dition that the constitution of the State shall not be so amended or changed as to deprive any citizen of the United States, or State, who are entitled to vote by the constitution thereof herein recognized, except as a pun ishment for such crimes as are now felonies at common law, whereof they have been duly convicted, under laws equally applicable to all the inhabitants of the State: And pro vided, That any alteration of the constitu tion may be made to the time and place of residence of voter's. Sec. 2. Andbeitfurther enacted, That the Provisional Governor-elect of the State of Georgia be, and he is hereby authorized and directed to assemble, by proclamation, at the city of Atlanta, ou or before the first Wed nesday in April next, the persons elected as meinb’ers of the General Assembly of that State, at an election held under and by virtue of the reconstruction acts on the twentieth, twenty-first, twenty-second, and twenty third days of April, eighteen hundred and sixty-eight. Sec. 3. Aud be it further enacted, That no person so elected shall be permitted to partici pate in the organization or legislation of such provisional assembly who shall not have first taken and subscribed the oatli of office pre scribed by law for officers of the United States, unless he shall have been relieved of his disabilities by act of Congress. Sec. 4. And beil further enacted, That the Provisional Governor-elect of Georgia shall have i»wer, whenever in his opinion it be comes necessary to carry out the purposes of this act. or to the proper execution of the act of the 2d of March, 1867, entitled, “An act to provide for the more efficient government of rebel States,” or of any and all acts supple mentary thereto, to suspend or remove from office, or from the performance of official duties and the exercise of official power, any officer or person holding or exercising, or professing to bold or exercise, any civil office or duty in such State under any power, elec tion. appointment, or authority’derived from, or granted by. or claimed under the so-called State of Georgia, or the government thereof, or anyjmunicipal, or other division thereof; and upon such suspension or removal, such provisional Governor-elect shall have power to provide from time to time for the perform ance of the duties of such officer or person so suspended or removal by the apjKtintiuent of some competent person to iwrfonn the same, and to fill vacancies occasioned by death, resignation, or otherwise. Sec. 5. .bidii it further uutct.d. That the I'resident be. and he is hereby, iliroctal to place at the disjxisal of the Provisional Gov • crnor-elect of Georgia such portion of the army and navy of the Unital States as may 'lie required by him for the preservation of the lives and property of persouh, the peace and good order of the community, and the protection of citizens in the free ex predion of their political opinions.

It will be read with interest by all parties. t The Supreme Court and the Re construction Act*. —The reconstruc tion cases have been almost forgotten in the excitement of the Presidential campaign. But the lawyers have kept them in mind, as appears from the following dispatch to the Boston Advertiser ; Judge Sharkey is here to look after his matters before the Supreme Court as soon as tliey can be brought forward after its session opens. Governor Jenkins and Judge Black have not yet arrived, and Judge Sharkey does not know what course it will be advisa ble to pursue in regard to the reconstruction cases. That from Mississippi will probably be acted on first. The special act under which it originated having been repealed since it was begun, the first question to be settled is whether the Court now has juris diction, as Mr. Sharkey contends. If the Court should, after argument, go against him, that would finish the matter. If it should, however, decide in his favor on this point, there would still remain the question whether the Court has jurisdiction under the act itself. The Georgia case is in a worse ]x>sition even than the other case. The appli cation for an injunction, as filed by Governor Jenkins, is against Generals Grant, Meade and Huger, its corner-stone being the fact that Huger was then acting as military Gov ernor under the reconstruction acts; but since the last term of the Court General Huger has given up the office, and the people of Georgia have elected a Governor in accordance with these acts, and have consented to them by also electing Congressmen' and voting for Presidential Electors. It is believed that the Court will, under the circumstances, find some way to get rid of this case at least without any more lime on it. The Missis sippi case will probably be argued until Sharkey and Black are convinced of the folly of fighting the reconstruction acts any longer. < Type-Setting Machine.—The Ra leigh (N. 0.) Sentinel says Air. F. G. Foster, of that county, has just ob tained a patent for a type-setting ma chine! It is composed, essentially, of a key-board, type-boxes, a series of conductors or conveyors, fingers and a “stick;” but is minus a “typo.” The machine can be set to any font of let ter, so that only one of the machines is needed by any ordinary printing office for its diflerent kinds of work. The full working machine is about thirty-eight inches wide by forty deep and thirty-two high, and can be con structed at a cost not exceeding SIOO. There is attached to the machine, when desired, a permanent adjustable gaily, which, with its attachments, can be used by the operator without change of position to strike ofl’ any number of “proofs” required, thereby making it a most convenient letter writer or form-priuter for any office. This additional arrangement will in crease its cost. A A’oung Giri, Killed by Whis key.—Yesterday two workman, em ployed in a bakery near the City Hall, obtained a quart of whiskey, and each took a drink. Leaving it. the pitcher was found by a young German girl, named Augusta Steffin, ami the entire contents drank. The girl was but 15 years of agOj and immediately became stupefied under the effects of the liquor. Restoratives were given her, but without effect, and she sank grad ually until this morning, when she died. The girl worked in the bakery, had been in the country but a few days, her parents still living in Ger many, and has only one relative here, an aunt living in the country. When the body was taken to the station house this morning, the flesh was white as marble, excepting about the neck, where the evid; nces of strangu lation were plainly visible in the dis coloration. An examination by the county surgeon showed that the girl came to her death as related above.— Alihcaukee Wisconsin, Dec. 3. Disastrous Fire in Yamacraw.— This morning at two o’clock, as we were putting our second form to press a fire broke out in the range of build ings at the extreme end of Alill street, in the portion of the city known as Yamacraw. There was a stiff breeze blowing at the time, and the flames spread with alarming rapidity, de stroying the entire range in a very short time. The fire communicated to a tenement opposite, and the oc cupants barely had time to save their effects ere the houses were destroyed. The two story wooden building in the rear of the range also caught, and when we left the scene of conflagrra tion were nearly destroyed. There was danger of several other buildings taking fire, but efforts were being made to arrest the progress of the flames. The buildings in which the fire originated belonged to Air. Lapham, we believe. Those opposite to Air. Solt. We could not ascertain who owned the rear building, neither could wc ascertain whether there was any insurance on the property. There were from to ten houses destroyed, and occupied mostly by colored peo ple. When we left the Washington Engine and Engine Seven were on the ground, and they, with the colored axe companies, were laboring stren uously lo subdue the devouring ele ment. The tire is still burning as we go to press, but wc hope it will soon l>e checked. Savannah'Hep., 19th. * * General Mahone has been rc elcted to the Presidency of the South side (Va.)
