In presenting this memorial Dr. Lee suid that lie himself was concerned in llio getting up of it, and that he would vote for it. It was re ceived in silence, utul referred to the Coinmitteo on Rewsnls. On Tuesday, us we learn from a telegraphic dispatch. Dr. Hamilton, from tho Committeo on Re- visals, reported iu favor of adhesion to the present system of discipline. This, wc suppose, is a report adverse to Dr. Loe b proposition. Reports conflict ns to tho present as pects of tho Winnepeg rebellion. It has been positively asserted that the difficulty was about to ho settled by tho Jtrtiish Government allowing tho formation of a new and distinct, province,to bo called Ma rietta, which would ho a virtual acquies cence in the demands of tho rebels. How ever sensible such a courso might ho, in the judgment of outside and disinterested parties, it is not the usual course pursued by governments towards their disaffected subjects or citizens; and wo uro not, therefore, surprised at reports of contin ued preparations for an expedition against the rebels, and to soe that the voice of the Canadian authorities is “still for war.” Congress') about to usurp an extended term of power. Tho outrago may bo aummated by tho intervention of a power that it .would bo madness to resist, but it will b.* one totally subversive of tho fun damental principles of republican govern ment, and fearfully demonstrative of the unlimited supremacy of a centralized des potism.

Let us examine some of the alleged fuct* constituting the chain of argument by which the Sue Era aeeks to justify this u.iurpution. It claims that the elec tion in IftCB f« r u Governor and luenihcrs oi the Legislature was held, under autho rity and in accordance with tho terms of the Lci onsti action Acts, at tho same time with tin election for tho ratification or rejection of the Constitution, and that Ly virtue of an election thus authorized aud conducted tho Governor und General As sembly assumed tho dutios of a Provis ional Government.

Editors Telegraph aud Messenger: In yesterday’s issue of your vuluubio paper, I noticed an artiolo on tho editorial page, entitled “Tho Iloustou Kiduappiug Case.” I was the Attorney of Harriett Tliweat in that caso, nud am very familiar with nil tho facts and circumstances of tho case, from its iucipiency up to tho present time. Tho facts, ns they are stated in your pa per of yesterday, aro, with a fow immate rial exceptions, entirely correct. Though they aro not us full aud replete as they might be. Harriett Tliweat never promised mo ono single cent for tho services I rendered her, as some of tho dirty, unprincipled sheets of tho day would havo if. It w as proven conclusively before Judge Swift, who prosidod in tho case, that h was not only tho dying request of tho ^ Hoko tjypnlc-v. n mother that tho children should go to the j having no grandmother, but that tho father, Carter Jackson, himself, ncquicsed and agreed to tho same, then and there. It was also proven, on tho hearing of the habeas corpus, that the mother of the children was (tend, and that at the timo they were bound out, or apprenticed, tho father redded out of tho county, and that the profits of Lis estate wero insufficient, for tho support aud meiutonnnee of said children, and they wore of tendor years and nimble to support themselves. Harnett Tliweat complied with tho obligations imposed upon her by tho con- t of indeuturealiip, strictly and to the or. Now. under these facts, Judgo Swift remanded tho children to the pos- sinn of the grandmother, t is a fact, as J have obtuined it from • Solicitor General, E. W.

Railroad.— The arrangement by which tho Centrul Railroad of Georgia acquires an interest in tho management of the Montgomery and West Point road, has already been al luded to through tho press. Tho stock holders of tho Georgia Railroad, at tliuir recent meeting, voted in favor of tho ac quisition by that company of tho coutrol of the M. A W. P. road from Opelika to West Point; whereupon tho Montgomery Adcertiner remarks: “It is probable that in a week tho Central Road will control that part of the West Point Road from Opelika to Columbus, and tho Georgia Road the portion from Opelika to West Point. Tho road from Opelika to Solnia will ho used os one road. Tho whole route will bo placed in first class order, a condition it is very far from being in at this time.” Though tho French nation voted so largely for Napoleon's proposed modified form of monarchy, in tho recent eloction, tho majority was against him in most of llio largo cities. Wo infer from this that it is chiefly in the cities that the uncom promising republicans havo strength. The I olio wing aro published as the official re turns of the vote in some of tho chief cities: “Paris—Yes, 111.God; no, 1uG,.*17(»’. Nantes—Yes, 32,01 A; no, 12.883.

John Maier, of Atlanta—an artist well remembered and appreciated in this city—has painted a very beautiful and life-like portrait of John Berrien, in pur suance of a request by the United States Attorney Geueral, who desired a likeness of Judge Berrien iu order to complcto tho Attorney General's Portrait Gallery at the Capitol. A dispatch of tho 13th, from Louisville, reports tho death of ilonry Clay's unfor tunate son Theodore, who had for fifty years been an inmate of tho Kentucky Lunatic Asylum. The two wings of tho Radical party of North Carolina seem to ho harmonizing in some of their nominations. On the aecond day’s session of their State Con vention, they nominated S. F. Phillips, Esq., formerly of Orange county, for Attorney General, and 1 e accepted the nomin&tim.. The Ihomoaton llcratd says that while on a recent visit through the counties of Spalding and Butts, the editor noticed on the route great fields of cotton and but very little com or other grain, and that the citizens reported this to be the case generally throughout those counties.

The Era says that they assumed tho duties of u “Provisional Government” on tho 1th of July, IMG*. This is only as near tho truth as a quibble can come. Thoro was Borao delay and confusion caused by the requirement of tho oath proscribed by tho 1 Ith Amendment from the membors, and this prevented a full and regular organization of the Legisla ture until tho iftth of that month. But at soon ns this difficulty Mas gotten out of tho way, tho Governor and Legislature commenced a regular eoMtitutional, not a “provisional" term. Gen. Meade issued orders on tho 22d of July, lHfift, requiring all officers holding position by military appointment to yield tboir offices to their duly elected and qualified successors ; aud Provisional Governor linger about that time gave way to Gov. Bullock. On tho 21th of tho same month Gov. Bullock sent his first message to tho Legislature, which ho commenced by congratulating that body “upon tho establishment of civil government, and the fact that Georgia i* ••lire metre an integral portion of our National anUy." He declared that tho Constitution of the Slate was the chart by which the Legislature was to he guided ; that it “was its duty and should he its pleasure to enact luws iu harmony there with.” Is there any smack of the “pro visional" in this? Was it “the inaugura tion of a provisional government that rested solely upon tho lawn of Congress" ? In pursuance of this inauguration, a full and regular State Government whs put into operation. The Legislature pro ceeded to carry out the requirements of the constitution ; a complete constitu tional J udiciary system was established ; the courts resumed their full jurisdiction, and adjudicated cases in accordance with tho laws and constitution of the State.— Gov. Bullock co-operated with the Legis lature as n constitutional Executive, and never sot up any pretensions as a “pre- viHional” officer for many months there after—not until some evil spirit whispered in his ear tho malign suggestion that an extension of his term of office, and that of a subservient Legislature to be ob tained. could be secured by repudiating constitutional authority and claiming to be a pro isionol Govornor under the Re construction acts! A : to tho jJras suggestion that if the Democratic claim that the constitutional term commenced in July 18G8, be correct, tho term of the Legislature expires in July of this year, that is distinctly dis posed of by the constitution itaolf, which provides that “the election for members of the Gencial Assembly shall begin on Tuesday after tho first Monday in Novem- bi r c- cry weond year, except the Jirtt election, which shall be within sixty days after the adjournment of this Conven tion." Language could not be more ex plicit than this. it is in despite of political errata Why \ that if tho dcstinioR of Georgia hud been in tlio hands of mun of high patriotism, not of men who had drugged tho honor of the Republican party down to the dust, ami whoso only aim was their own pecuniary advancement, tho Hlnto of affairs would havo boon very different.— But ho denied these stories, those tolo- gruius manufactured to order, nml which were sent here to the I’ress of this city. Mr. Ferry read from a letter of Thomas R. Jessup, who ho said was a well-known nml eminent merchant of New York, to tho effect (hut ho had traveled all over Georgiu and saw nothing hut an earnest desire to accept the situation, ami to lot bygones be bygones, ami characterizing as entirely false the A vary telegrams from Brunswick. Referring to tho North, Mr. Ferry claimed that in tliht section also tho majority of the Republican Press wero in favor of the two IuIIh for this purpose, which he had introduced. Ho asserted that to continue longer Ihe.so disabilities wus iu violation of all tho great principles of the Republican party. Jlo had boon iu favor ot tho lights of tho black man, not boeauHO he was black, but because he wus a muu, nml now that tho rights of the black man had been secured, ho feared tlmt the rights of man himself wero in danger. Your Fifteenth Amendment is a delusion ami snaro while those dimtbili! remain on your statute books. The black man is not enfranchised when ho is i permitted to vote for ut least ono half bis friendH and neighbors. llo wanted these disabilities roinovyd, not ns a me uro of conciliation, hut iis a measure justico. He asserted that tlm Fourteenth Amendment nml tho Test Oath were not designed us measures of pnnislimont, but as measures of groat public policy. Ire land tells tho story of the effect of disa bilitios and test oaths. Has fivo hundred years of this systom raised up a loyal generation in Ireland? No sir! What did Austria do with her disabilities, and her tost acts in Hungary ? Wore tlio tiros of rebolliou over quonchod ? Now when «ho has given her a freo constitution nud tho right to representation, poaco every where prevails. Morton, replying, said Ferry’s was a Democratic speech. Ho should take his neat on that sido. Ho said Ferry’s propo rtion was to sweep away all political dis.i- bilition, plueo rebels in power, and give them an opportunity to renew past mis chiefs without alloiding any protection to loyal mon. Sawyer eulogized Ferry's speech ns sound Republican doctrine, and thought to read tlmt Senator out of the Republi can party would require more than mere assertion and denunciation. Ho added that under tho political disability scheme, two innocent suffered for ono guilty. He added, no more blundering scheme than a test ontli could havo been devisod in tho South.

A party of sportsmen returning through a gorge on tho opposito sido hoard shouts nnd cries of distress, apparently proceeding from tho flaming forest; nnd looking up through tho fire aud smoke, they thought they discovered tho forms of a man nud woman upon a rocky hoigbt, swaying thoir arms to und fro.

So material a diminution of tho Treasury circulation ami increase of tho National Bank curren cy may also havo tho effect of producing a slight difference in tho virtue of tho two kinds of inane, and this would produce much incovcnienco and embarrassment. Another prohablo effect would he the en couragement of nnd facilities for specula tion aff orded by this increase of tho cur rency of tho country. According to some observora thero is already a backward movement towards inflation and specula tion, which tlio proposed measure could hardly fnil to accelerate. On this point tho Chicago Trihure said, a fow days ago: Tho great question in financial circles now, iu ull the principal citiea in. “What shall wo do with our money?” Two month:: ngo people were willing to lot it lio idle in the banks; but, as it began to aceqmulatc, and as tlio fenrs of the mone tary disturbances, resulting from the possible passage of the funding bill began to puss away, a fever of activity to invest in somothiug became apparent, os will periodically bo the case as long as the volumo of currency is fixed aud there are no redemptions for hunk notes. If the national currency was redeemable now, tlio ten millions of surplus untional bank notes, which tlio hanks of Now Y’ork are puzzled to find occupation for, and are offering to loan at a discount to horrowors who will pay iu legal tenders, would be going homo for redumption os fast os the express companies could carry them. But ns they aro not redeemable the ncces- fily of using them stimulates speculation. Fcople look around the markets to see whut thoy can buy with thorn, and this makes an inflation of prices generally. Undor this conditon of things prices have already been greatly Advanced. Georgia Investigation.—We dip the following sgnifioant paragraph from tho Now York Tribune (Radical Republican) of the 13th inst. It in pregnant with meaning, and should be read with care by *ir readers : Tho Georgia investigation will b« dosed ns soon ns the testimony of Gov. Bullock cun ho taken, hut that gentleman, al though summonod several days ago, has not made his appearance, and hia return boro is daily looked for. From what has already become known of tlie testimony elicited in this inquiry, it is judged to he ono of the liveliest investigations ever undertaken by a committee of Congress, and although no actual case of bribery has yot boon discovered, the fact is fully es tablished that enormous sums of money hnvo boon gotten rid of by certain Geor gia politicians. For iustance, tho Chroni- becn paid soveral thousand dollars for ullcgod advertisements and job work, nml Mr. l'ornoy, under examination, found it difficult to satisfy the committee that ho only rocoiv. 1 thy customary pri ces for work pert- ucd. ir mus *r->wn that he was paid ...i extravagant pri for publishing t! c speeches of Senut< ; or- ton, ReprcH’ .

It is proba ble tb it there will be majority and minori ty reports on investigation from the Jn- diciary Committee, and that the minority report will bo signed by more than two members. before tho Societe Therapecutiqne do l- r..uco, >;nys that the experiment of plant ing sunflowers on a large scale has here tofore been successful in the fenny dis tricts by Rochefort, aud has been proven by tho Dutch to ho beneficial in neutral- ising the deleterious effects of marshy ex halations. Martin states that it is a proved fnct that the sunflower possesses the pow er uf freeing the atmosphere from those ge.nn, animal and vegetable, which aro supposed to constitute the miasma that j are productive of fever and aguo. Jf this he tho case, is it not well for our fever and aguo afflicted sections to be uncle aware of it ? Much suffering might thiis be avoided, and a new impotus gije to immigration to those long neglected und fertile spots in the West and South, that have bean pregnant Mitli miasma. Hitherto the culture of the sunflower has been quite limited in this country. Experiment servo to show that it is a val uable iced for poulty. It also yields a largo return in oil. Au Ohio farmer, .several years since, averred that it would give more bushels of seed, year by year, than corn on tho same surface. Admit ting liis statement to be true, we mey, from tho lublcs I find in old euclopasdia, ostimato tho returns in oil that an acre will produce, planted after the manner tlio work indicates. Ono hundred plants uiu allowed to produce oue bushel of seed, from which threo quarts of oil are ob tuiurd. This would give us about forty gallons to the aero nnd leaves us the re- 1 use for feed, tho value of which ie not given. May not this ref uso ho as valua ble ns cotton seed meal ? My impression is, thut the plant* might without detriment be increased one hun dred per cent, on on acre over end above the number stated, and the profit* in creased in the same ratio. The present facilities for extracting the oil over thoae iu uso fifty years ago will also give us e much largor return than three quarts to tho bushel. But to return to tbo medicinal question which is after oil tho ono of greatest mo ment to ns. Tho plant is easily propaga ted, and its seeds can ho mingled with the Heed corn and plautod at tho same time, all over our extended country, resulting, it may be, in untold good to present and coming gouerutions.— K.
