The members of both branches of the Assembly will be able to commence their next week’s work comfortably, each being financially relieved to the amount of $100—the Senate having concurred in a House resolution which proposed such aid to the members. It was 'a reas onable demand; but sufficient to meet hotel expenses, and enable a member to meet a friend from the country occasion- iy- The Senate passed a resolution to go into an eleotion for United States Senator On Tuesday. The House election bill was taken op in the Senate and read the first time. There is but one opinion about this bill, and that is, that it will speedily pass the Senate, and become a law. The House has Set its seal of conjem nation upon the District Court It pas sed a bill repealfag the act organizing such tribunals, and should the Senate ooncur, forty-four Judges and forty-four Solicitors will be thrown back upon the jtrofsesics tp “earn a living.” It is vary sad to think that it is highly probable thatJudge(?) Blount will be deposed There is now no infirmary for such as he, and nothing will b©left for him but to go around tbe country again bellowing “Ka-kiax! Kn-Klnx 11" until ho almost deafens his audience with his t>ten tor rav ings, tf The Johnson family was up for con sideration yesterday. Hall of Meri wether wants to inquire into the eligi bility of Dave Johnson. Dave contests Dan’s seat. T£e impression increases that he will be successful. In such an event Hall would like Jito throw Dan out. The whole aoatter was laid upon the table, aa it abonld have been, os it will be time enough to consider it when Dan shall have been unseated. Quito a discussion sprung up in the House upon a message sent in by G<w- ernor Conley. This message disapproved a resolution which repeals on act passed by the last Legislature, authorizing the Governor to draw upon any unappropri ated fund indiscriminately, and requiring the Treasurer to pay all such warrants. The resolution, however, was passed over the veto. The Senate had the same un der consideration when the hour of ad journment came. If it concurs in the aotion of the House* it willenable Treas urer 1 Angier to place a still closer guard upon,tfee Btato Treasury. TIIE SWORD AND THE WALLET, SUN-STROKES.

When first to earth dame Justice come. In fair habiliment arraycxl, She brought with her a swonl of flam a That ne’er a stroke in error made; And when the glittering weapon fell It did its execution well. And never was that blade unsheathed But for the right, and law was right, And right was with all honor wreathed; For when the weapon flashed in sight Injustice all its might unleut: And yet the duo* wms not content For, lilo her sex, sbo wosld he loved— Love is a stronger power then fear— Though man with feu of her were moved, But few there Were who retcrenced her; Each stood aloof, as 1/ in dread. Whose torn ’tware next to lose his head. Bo straight to Jove she toot her flight, And fell before the thoadefer’s throne, And toldhtaa of her wretched plight With may a rtgh, and sob, andtfoan; And Jksyed the God whom she adored To atais her wo and taka the sword. It happed Java wee tn genial mood:— “Bias daughter, I will grant your pleat Your pat« letolrly understood ; Here, give me back the sword,” eeid he; "This leathern wallet take, instead. And man, I think, will cease to dread.” She seised the wallet, and, olate, Straightway she came to earth once more, And set up in her new estate, And quick began to gather store; If causes went or woll or ill, No matter; she her purse must All. Men marvolod when they saw how changed 1 Ear maotear wee, nor guessed the cause; But thought some luckless chance deranged Her ministration of the laws; They gazed in wonder upon her, And found, somehow, they’d lost all fear. Thenceforth Justice* clue feet caxo Vu OS hot w»Ilrt «h« might Ruff; But how ’two done, or when, or where, Did not concern her; ’twas enough That the must dwell hter purse and pride, And ao leant to tho moneyed side. ^.ufl ever since—the story goes— That Justice laid Mido her sword, Orew plump, and pert, and adipose, She isjby all the world adored; Ah^JPen who erewhile feared her glance, Now woo her with » cash advance. BOOK NOTICES. i. Those who read the Southern Confed eracy newspaper, published in Atlanta during the war, will doubtless remember a series of humorous and satirical sketches by “Philemon Perch.” Thoy were admit ted: to be the heat papers emanating from Georgia, since the days of Judge Long- street. These sketches, or stories, have been collected by the author, under the general title of "Dukesborough Tales,” and ore issued in a very neat volume, by Turnbull Brothers, of Baltimore. For sale by Phillips & Crew. . <K) i a. HortiWBeeeher Btbwe 1ms given the worklaoew stvsl catted “My Wifs and I.” The title ian most ssggestive one, in this day of progress, and, though we have not read the book, critics pronounce favorably upon iti Phillip* A Crew have ik m “East and West Poems," by Bret Harts is out. Its author Is the best of the whole swarm of the younger Ameri can poets. He is more artistio, more original and inoro musical than any of them, and improves os he grows older.

Chicago sits in her ashes and claims the champion fire. She is wel come to the championship. Half-It is argued that a good volnntoer fire department would have saved Chica go. Possible. •SSu The Tribune thinks Peter B. Sweeney carried with him the brains of the “ring” when ho resigned. Bcv“ The Herald says “ballets and bay onets are playing out rapidly in the South." Bouth Carolina would bo glad to peroeive It. BQk. The popular question in politics nowadays—“Under which Bing, Benzo nfan?”—Boston Post. And the answer is “the Benzine ’un.’ SL Grant says Fish has not resigned The New York Tribune soys he has.— There’s a chance for another rupture of the Badical party. The Governor of Utah names the 30tli as a day of Thanksgiving, and the Herald thinks the Mormons will observe it with a mental reservation. ■fk, Aaron Bcust resigned simply bo cause ono Francis Joseph said he was not needed in tho Ministry of Foreign Af fairs. Most any one would have “busted as Bcust did, if similarly encouraged. The late report of the resignation of Secretary Fish is followed by the cus tomary denial. This joke about that resignation will bo perpetrated once too often if tho jokers are not wary. W3L Jim Fisk has published a card denouncing HoracoGrcely as a “palpable liar.” Grecly is in tho habit of calling other people liars, and uow he knows how it is himself. thB" The Governor oi Wisconsin has issued an order that enough clothing has been received to make the sufferers com fortable, and the State will no louger trespass upon tho generosity of tho public. BOP Ann W. Bodeker, iu a card, noti fies the Bicbmond Enquirer that she went to the polls and left her vole. Now any woman, white or black, old or young, in Bicbmond, had a right to do this, and yet the Commissioner would hardly have dropped one of them into the ballot-box. Bgk. Ex-Governor Sambard’s Atlanta rnper, the True Georgian, has handed ts cheeks, Tho saddest feature con nected with its demise is in the fact that its proprietor was in Washington at the time of its death trying to raise the wind to keop it alive. Papers that have to be kept alivo in that way are not generally healthy or long-lived.—Nashville Banner. A short time ago the Banner was quo ting Bard as ono of tho oracles of the ‘ New Departure,” and now it has kindly word for him in his distress. Too bad! L Grant has been “swinging round thecircle” considerably. Tho Cincinnati Commercial has been recounting “the wanderings of Ulysses,” and winds up with this summary: “Since his nomina tion as President, as the figures above will show, he has been absent from Washington 601 days, (not including, ns we before stated, the days of his return ing,) and has traversed, as nearly as can be determined, 37.G29 miles; or,- since the surrender of Leo, ho has been absent 754 days, and wandered a distance of 64,058 miles—not counting numborless drives, horseback excursions, and little trips that have esoaped telegraphic re cognition. Much indeed has he been tossed about, both on tho sea aud ou the land; and—think of that sixty-odd thousniid-milo trail of cigar smoke !” Beg" The Washington correspondent of the Savannah Neu-s telegraphs as fol low's, on tho Oth: A short time since I hail occasion to deny, on the authority of tho President, a report extensively circulated in Georgia to tho effect that the President had ex pressed a determination to declare mar tial law over tho whole State. Since the mblication of this denial the report has men again started and telegraphed hcuco to a prominent paper in Georgia, where it lias caused much excitement. It is needless to say that the report has no foundation in fact. I have just had a conversation witli tho Attorney General on tho subject. Ho assures mo he has no knowledge of auy such intention on the part of the Execu tive. Besides, tho President would not think of declaring martial law over Geor gia, without first consultihg Akcrman. These reports are evidently promulgated to servo the base purposes of some Kadi- eal clique, or else to influence tbs elec tion of some time-server to the United States Senate from your State. Georgia Republicans wild have visited Washington lately havo used every effort to induce tho President to ileclaro mar tial law in Georgia, but without making the least impression. It is not believed that the report of the sub Ku-klux Com mittee will exhibit any just grounds for Federal interference in Georgia affairs. Thus the fact grows more aud more obvious that the silly reports in refer ence to martial law, which created such stir upon tho streets of Atlanta a few days ago, were the wioked contrivances of some Badical who desired to frighten the Legislature into some action or other. To thinking men, no evidence from Washington was needed to assure them of the utter falsity of the rumor. Bo en tirely groundless was it, that it was a wonder that there was found ono willing to entertain it for a moment. No ene has yet been able to trace it to its exact source, and if it were possible to do so, ithout doubt it would bo found to have originated in Radical quarters. Doubt less, some one of them wanted to see how big a scare lie oould get up on short no tice. However, it does not appear that the author aoooraphshod much, as the report ran itself into the ground in very few hours. Eire InEntonton. , Eaiojeros, Go., Nov. 9, 1871. Editors Daily Sun; A very considera ble and destructive conflagration occur red here last night. Four or five stores were buru- d to the ground. Nearly all the business houses of the town were in a row opposite tho court house, aud it is a great wondci that the last one w.u. not consumed—for thoy are all, except one, of wood, and are very close together ami old. But tho escape of those buildings still standing must be attributed to the fact that there was one vacant lot be tween them and tboso that were burned, and to tho unceasing manner in which all present worked. Your correspondent never, in all hia life before, exerted him self so mnoh—he became completely ex hausted. Almost all the goods from the stores were carried out iu tho streets. But many were necessarily mined by be ing thrown about; some were stolen, while others were so badly injnrcd ami damaged that they are totally worthless. The Tosses sustained will bo heavy, for none of the buildings, I understand, were insured. The origin of tho fire is ^not known. Our people are taking a deep interest in tho proceedings of the Legislature. They expect much good to be accom plished by tho intelligent, patriotic and honest representatives of our plundered State. Yours, very truly, Z. I. F. The following, upon tho samo subject, in an extract from a privato letter re ceivcd here last night: Wo havo Juat learned that Eatontou was burned night before last, or, at least, twulvo or thirteen •tores on tho north side of the public Hquaro.

The People Qf Aorcross Hold a Public Meeting, and Resolve to Become a City, etc. Nobcross, Ga., November C, 1871. A large and enthusiastic meeting of tho citizens of Norcross was held at the New Academy Building this night for general consultation. Hon. James P. Simmons was called to tho Chair, und J. S. Peterson, Esq., re quested to act as Secretary. 1 The chairman in a speech, announc ed the object of the meeting to be to consult together, and exchange views as to the best measures to be adopted to promote the interests of thi# rapidly growiug community, and asking legisla tive action to perfect a municipal or ganization, amply insure the enforcement of law, and tho establishment of a first class High School, etc. By [request of the chairman tho sec retary made a few remarks in regard to the great desirability of Norcross, as a suburban residence for persons in busi ness in Atlanta.; the early establishment of good schools, and assuming, at ouce, a high tone of morals, and giving assu rance of full security td person and prop erty by rigidly enforcing law. Col. J. J. Thrasher thought the ohnr- ter was defective, and asked the chair man to suggest the improvements need ed, which he did. On motion of Col. Thrasher, a com mittee, consisting of Messrs. J. P. Sim mons, J. A. Miller and J. S. Peterson, was appointed to draft required amend ments, and secure their adoption by the Legislature. On motion of C. K. Lewis, M. D., a committee, consisting of Messrs. J. J. Thrasher, C. K. Lewis, Dr. Boring, Lively and Thomas H. Jones, appointed to report to the next meeting the best method of scouring the erection of yet moro commodious aud extended Academy buildings, an additional num ber of experienced superior instructors, aud providing for the accomplishment of the important objects. In response to calls a large number of those present responded in remarks of the most cheering character respecting Norcross, which were enthusiastically re ceived. It was then moved by Mr. Wigley that a committee of five be appointed to in quire into extending our railway facilities and connections. Messrs. J. 8. Peter son, Wigley, J. J. Thrasher, McElroy and Holcombe wero ap pointed on said committee. On motion of Mr. Lively— Resolved, That, until otherwise deter* mined, the citizens of Norcross hold town meetings tho first Monday night in each month. Moved by Mr. George Wallis, and car ried: That the proceedings of this mooting be published iu tho daily papers of At lanta, and in the Gwinnett County Atlas, Lawrenoeville, Ga. The meeting then adjourned. Jakes P. Simmons, Chairman. J. S. Peterson, Secrotary. GEORGIA MATTERS.
