The Atlaata Conetitetion, with a riaw

relating to tho huge bill agoinot tho State

eopy from tho CotuHtuUm't report of
Mr. Orooby'o ototoosonta:
They hero forwarded regular monthly
otatementa of their aoooauta to Bullock,
end Mr. Croeby wee surprised when be
yield is to come from. All the reporta

make a large cotton crop out of that now

of its mistake will be the roeollooRoD of

The fire days allowed s Goreraor to re
tain in his possession a bill passed by the
Legislator! eipired yesterday, so far as
ooooeros the bill for a spedal election for
Governor. We rill therefore soon know
whether he bes signed the bill, or kept it
unsigned ae long as ha oould to defeat it.
The prwnmption is that a design to de
feat *ho bill prompted Ms retaining U un
signed so long. Wa regret to bear that
doubts are entertained whether the Sen
ate will pais the bill by the requisite two-
thirds rote, in the erent of the Gov
ernor's veto. It is intimated that the
frienus ol a lata aspirant for tho Gubar-
m. oriel noin initiation, disappointed by
the unpromising prospect of bia nomina
tion way refnse to rote for the passage of
the bill over the veto. Ws sincerely hope
tbs. there is no ground for this suspicion,
end indeed we are not entirely without
hope that noting Gorernor Conley will
Bign the bill, though st tbe eleventh hoar.
Hut should the worst apprehensions be
realized—abould tho Democrats of tbe
Is'iCsLtnre be unable to bring on a spa
ce-. > Inotion for Gorernor—those of them
who did nut really beliere that Cooley was
entit’od to the position after tbs organi
zation of the now Legislator!, bnt who
received to acquiesce in an usurpation
with n view of avoiding difficulties, may
find that their caution overreached itself
by involving them and their Btate end
constituents in s greeter difficulty than
that which they sought to avoid. But

Tbe Atlanta Sun manifests an unchari
table, if not a peevish spirit, in asking
whether ‘‘.ill" of the newspapers in tbe
State, that bare opposed the proposition
to let out tbe public printing to the lowest
bidder, are not interested in the election
of some candidate as printer. Ours is
one of the papers that opposed tbe prop
osition, and wa taka Una occasion to say
tb it it ia not in any manner interested is
the disposal of the public printing. And
now, will the Atlanta Sun say in as une
quivocal a manner that it had not formed
any combination, poaiUre or contingent,
to obtain tbe printing 1 Can it make a
clear showing of hands that threw the
stone? _ _
A dispatch of the 18th instant, from
London, announces that the first Roman
Cstholio mission ever dispatched from
Great Britain to America sailed on that
day. It consists of four priests, whose
duty it shall be to labor exclusively among
tbe colored people of tbs United States.
Tbe Archbishop in addressing them said,
as England wag the first to impose alsrery
upon that oountry, it was fitting that
England should be tbe first to mors for
the amelioration of the emancipated race.

The * mo ant of $1,680,000 bonds sold
by taem was a bona fide sale to European
capitalists. Tha sales mere made in balk.
a hey have now in tHelr possession $100,
000 mere of the same gold bonds. Thin
leaven a balance of $1,250,000 of the gold
boods ont in other hands.
The item of $377,000 advanced on tho
State Road is included in the aoooant we
pablished, and not a separate matter. It
was all done under Bullock’s infractions
on the State account. The balance of
$47,148 60 is all that is dne them, for
wkioh they hold the $100 000 of bonds.
Mr. Oronby states that Clews A Co. have
also been deceived in regard to the Car-
teraviUe A Von Wert Railroad matter,
They advanced the money to baild tbis
road, and have been informed that it wsa
completed to its fall extent, and hold the
$276,000 of bonds issued for this rood.
On coming oat here Mr. C. finds four
teen miles of road done as broad gange,
and the remainder of twenty-two miles
graded for narrow gauge, it being the
purpose to chauge tbs completed fourteen
miles to narrow gange. lu Mr. Orosby N
opinion this change if illegal, as the broad
_ iiige road finished, tarnishes the security
upon which the Btate's aid was granted,
and chance to narrow gauge diminishes
that security.
In regard to the Brunswick A Albany
road, Mr. Croeby states that Clews A Co.
have advanced large amounts of money
for this enterprise, and are dint wising the
program wa of completing tho road to
Cuthbert, and wftl probably do it.

A note from Seale Station, Ala., with
tha signature “R. X. ” gives ns tbe follow

ike truth of the report, notwithstanding
tho writer's failure to give us his name:
“On tbe lfith inst., on. the plantation of
James Bennett, deceased, eighteen miles
west of Columbus, in Bussell county,
\la., a negro woaasn named Ellen Ben-
uett, left home for somo purpose, after
ordering her children to give the calves
some shucks. It seoius that thay took
fire with them, and left it near the crib
door, and when they began to throw out
the shucks, they caught on fire, the wind
blowing tLe flames furiously into the
orib. Borne hands in an adjaeent field
heard the ohildren screaming, and ran to
the place of disaster, but were too late to
save them. Their bodiea were recovered,
after being dreadfully scorched and din
figured.”
It is stated that Hon. Horatio Seymour,

Brownsville (Texas) papers, of the 16th

One man died, and several were made

This body assembled in Montgomery on

the State. A bill directing the State
Treasarer to keep the taxes collected for
tbe school fund separate from other funds
of the State, was referred. The Commit

ward* reconsidered the vote ordering it to
a third reading, and referred the bill to
the Committee of Ways and Means.

bills of genaral intaiaat and importance
were also presented, but as final nation

The nntiuished business of yesterday,
to wit, tho report of the Committee ou
Privileges and Elections on tL~ election
for Representative in Calhoun county,
was r^umed.
Mr. Simmons, of Gwinnett, thought
thst under the law and evidence, Mr.
" ; erce is entitled to a seat as a member
from Calhoun county, for the election was
regularly held, aud enough votes were
counted before the ballot-box was Btolcn
to indicate that the applicant for i seat
had received a majority of tho votes cast.
Mr. Hoge remarked that this is purely
n question of law aud evidenoe, and that
be ia clearly of the opiniou that there has
been no election in the county of Cal
houn, for 999 votes were cast, and the
managers do not certify that auy person
reoeived a majority of them, bnt they do
say that after counting out 270 votes the
box was stolen, and out of that number
Mr. Pierce reoeived about 200, but that
there can be no election until after the
votes are counted. Suppose, in Fulton
oounty, where 6,000 votes were oast, ten
votes had been counted, aud those ten
had been for any person, and that tho
ballot-bo:; was then stolen, could that per
son claim to he elected where there ere
4,990 votes still uncounted ? This House
has the right to seat Mr. Pierco or Mr.
Boynton, who was also voted for, but that
right ought not to be acted on where it ia
oleer that thero has been no elootion and
no returns.
Mr. Bryan thought that tbe committee
ia composed ot as intelligent men aa are
in this body, and they were careful in
taking tbe evidenoe concerning this elec
tion ; that there ia no showing in the
return:, that the superintendents of the
eleotion in Calbonn took the required
oath, and if no sueh oath was taken their
report oould not be considered.
Mr. Pou waa in favor of the report
made by tbe committee,and thought there
had been no eleotion in Calhoun ; that it
was an unsafe precedent to establish if
parties are seated upon the faith of one-
fourth of the votes having been eonnted.
Ballot-boxes must be taken care of, and
the will of the people expressed through
them must be preserved and respected.
Mr. Phillips, ehairman of this commit
tee, explained tbe action of tbe commit
tee and the evidenoe that was submitted.
Mr. Bacon moved to refer the matter
back to tbe committee and to give Mr.
Pitres two weeks to get np further proofs
of his election.
Mr. Griffin, of Houston, waa opposed
to seating Mr. Pieroe, although be may
have been elected by Republican, voters.
The stealing of ballot-boxes must be put
down by this General Assembly. He did
not think that the evidenoe waa anfflclant
to saat the applicant
Mr. Riohards called the previous ques
tion on the motion of Mr. Baoon to refer.
Tha call was sustained, and tho mottos
did not prevail,
that thero ffaa no eleotion was then
adopted.
Tne report of the Fiaance Committee
recommending the appointment of four
pages $2 per day, a keeper of tho gallery
at $5 per day, eto., waa adopted.

verse to the passage ef the bill. He was
in favor of making every men contribute
his share to koeping up publio roads.
Messrs. Battle, UWeal and Dukee fav
ored the report of the committee, and
con id see uo use in using compulsory

ten per cent, interest on 100 bonds of
the Scollold Rolling Mill Company was
passed.
The bill to Authorize the payment out
of couuty funds fees of physicians for at
tention to paupers was read.
Mr. Etheridge opposed the adoption of
the report of tho committee, which was
adverse to the passAgo of the bill, urging
the justice of paying physicians for their
setvicea roudored to the poor.
Mr. Rawls stated the reasons prompt
ing the committee to make the report.
Mr. Wofford, of Bartow, thought that
the law rueoguizes tho right of the Ordi
nary to pay r.nch fere if meritorious, aud
could see no reasons why the doctors
should Re favored more than other profes
sional men who serve paupers without
compensation.
Mr. Goodman thought that a general
law of thisuaturo would be detrimental to
the general good, but if (he Ordinaries
aie authorized to make suoh payment he
waa satisfied.
The bill was amended so as to apply
only to the counties of Linooln, Patman,

Mr. Renfroe introduced a bill to change

incorporate the city of Bandereville,
which were read tbe first time.
The unfinished buainess, to-wit, tbe bill
to appoint commissioners to investigate
the affairs of this Btate, was resumed.
Mr. Phillips continued hie argument.—
He said that M* Boott's bill would organ
ize a commission, with the powers of a
court, and if the gentlemen proposed as
members of that commission are obnox
ious to the 14th Amendment, they could
not act; that he is against tbe new de
parture and tbe 14th Amendment, but he
is unwilling to see anything done by this
Honse whioh might result in damage to
our Btate. He urged the adoption of his
sebstitnta providng for the appointment
of a joint oommittee from the Benato and
House to make the propoposed investiga
tion.
Mr, Simmons, of Gwinnett, said it is
the duty of Legislators to make this in
vestigation, and the people expeot it of us.
The commission proposed by the bill
would oonstitute a sort of court, and if
any of its members were disqualified un
der the 14th Amendment, or should re
fute to act, Mr. Con! )y would make ap
pointments to fill vacancies. He, there
fore, favored tho substitute.
Mr. Davis, of Newton, thought that
none but the guilty parties oan imagine
the magnitude of the frauds whioh have
been perpetrated against the Btate. They
ought to be ferreted out and exposed, and
he favored the oommiaaion beoanee those
composing it would have more time than
members of the General ASMmblj.
Mr. McMillan sail that the charges of

sion.
K;. Johnson, of Jefferson, opposed the
bill. The members of tbs Legislature
are competent to make this investigation
—were elected to do it, end their constit
uents expect them to do their full duty.
Mr. Riley also opposed the bill. The
members of the General Assembly can do
the work, and ho did not tee the use of
getting outside men to do it.
Mr. Hiilyer said that persons of all par
ties wanted this investigation made, bnt
members of both political partiea Bnon.d
be appointed on the oommittee. If the
chargee are true he, for one, would be glad
to see punishment fall on the gnilty.
Mr. Poeples favored the original bill.—
Ho wanted on the oouimiseion a good law
yer, a good banker, and n good merchant,
and suggested the names of Phillip Clay
ton, Jnnius Hiilyer and jfobn A. Doano.
Mr. Phillips accepted the substitute of
fered by Mr. Simmons, of Gwinnett, for
his substitute.
Mr. Pieroe argued in favor of the sub
stitute. No assurance had been given
that the commisaioners mentioned in the
bill would server and though he had no
respect for the bastard an ondments to i
the Constitution of tbe United States,
would follow out tho policy of this House
and respect said amendments as law, till
repeal. Then the ineligibility of those
gentlemen would prevent the full dis
charge of this duty.
Mr. Dell favored tbe substitute, but
said it would almost icouncils him to vote
for the bill if he kuew tho gentlemen
named therein could and would serve.
Mr. Andersou was neither fur the bill
nor the substitutes; he was glad to bear
compliments to the intelligence of mom-
ben* of tbe Legislature, and was not will
ing to admit that all the Intelligonoe of
the Btate is in men under disabilities.—-
He favored the appointment of a small
Juint Committee who would be authoris
ed to employ an expert banker, a skillful
lawyer, aud au experienced railroad man
to rerret out these villaniee. This idea,
ho said, had been suggested to him by Mr.
Wood, of Walker.
Mr. Boott concluded the argument in
favor of his bill. Mr. Riley oalled pre
vious question. The cell wsa sustained.
Ou the motion to ad}pt tha substitute,
the yeas and nays were celled for with
the following result—yeas 128 ; nays .12.
Bo the substitute was adopted.
The Committee on Internal Improve
ments reported in favor of adopting a
memorial addressed to Congress, in rela
tiou to the canal between the Mississippi
River and the Atlantic ocean, and in re
lation tu the appointment of a oommitteo
to visit Washington to further the me
morial. A ;* essage from tho Governor
w.is received but not read. This message
returned tbe bill to order a special elec
tion for Governor, without approval.

dence of tbe Louisville Courier Journal:
The report that tbe Democratic leaders
are iu correspondence with regard to the
propriety of abandoning a nomination
for President, with a view of supporting
a conservative ltepublioan candidate in
opposition to Grant, has not, on inquiry
at New York end of members of tbe Dem
ocratic committee iu Washington, assum
ed positive shape. Thst quite a number
of Democrats here favor suoh a course ia
• -ponly admitted, while Benator Hoburz
and other itepublieaus who are oppoaed to
the proseut Administration dealers that
tbe only hope of succobs is found in tbe
programme. How suoh a convention is to
be called, and who is to call it, are ques
tions, it Is slated, that must be left for
the future to deoide, if there is time in
whioh the Democrats of ail sections can
discuss it.*
DKMOOBATIO NATIONAL CONTENTION.
Tha National Democratic Executive
Committee, appointed by the last nation
al convention will meet at Washington in
January earlier than usual, to deoida on
the time and place of holding the next
convention. By that time tbe poilcy of
the conservative republicans ana the ex
tent of the co-operation of the Democrat
ic party wilt be fully developed, and the
committee oan deoide whether it ia tbe
wisest course to issue a oall purely and
simply iut the meeting of the Demooraey
again in oonncil. The statement that
THE OBEELET VAOTION
of the Bepublioans intend to bring for
ward Mr. Colfax for the Presidency turns
out untrue. The Vioe President writes
that he ia not a candidate for any oBoe,
but favors the re-election of Grant, ana
adds that, for himself, ha adheres to hia
resolution to retire to private life at tha
end of hia term of ofloo.

TUI tho OF tin ELKCTI0V BILL.
Taaeday night's dispatches brought aa
the anticipated announesment of tbe Veto,
the an meg, itself has not reached us at
the thns of this writing. The question
of momentous interest now is. Will the
Dagtalatwre pern the MU over the veto 7
Optofaaa appear to be somewhat divided.
We have alrong hopes (notwithstanding
(•parts to tbe oontrary) that tha reqnirite
majority e# two-thirds ean be obtained.
Mould tho vote boa patty one, the Ben
ato would be dlvMad ae follows: for the
MU 19, against it 14, not oonnfing Conley.
Ibis would ba ooe rnore than the required
two-thirds vote in tbe Senate. Tbe House
ia Damoeratie by abont five to one.
Tbe Legislative correspondent of tha
Savannah Jfetee expresses the op'nioathat
it it very doubtful whether the Haute wttl
overrule the veto I But be does not any
shat influences are working to produoa
this strange decision. Of a similar pur
part are tha speculations of the Griffin
Star, whom editor visits Atlanta so fre
quently, and is located ao oonveniently to
gather tbe daily gossip from tha capital,
that ha ia generally pretty well informed
as to andai-omrents in motion in political
matters then. Ha aaid on Tuesday: “It
to stated that Oontoy will veto the bill,
add than an doubt* about passing it over
kb bead. Ia feet, If ft were bow under
stood who the candidate was to ba, we
don’t behave a two-thirds vote oould be
obtained for the measure. Thomson for
this opinion to, that there are ao many
aspirants, that whichever one waa ano-
nsmful in the nomination, the friends of
tha disappointed candidate* would, many
of them, oppose an election. This may
ba a bad (tats of affairs, but it to never
theless true, that tbe scramble for offloa
to now aa great, if not greater, than fat
years heretofore."
We apprehend that another difficulty
wlU arias, even it tbe Legislative pease*
the bill over the veto. The presumption
to that acting Gov. Conte/ has assigned
constitutional objections to justify bis
veto. As we have said heretofore, tha
Atlanta New Era trumped up an objection
af this kted when the question of a apo
dal eleotion first arose. It oontend* that
tha return* of snob an eleotion eonld not
be mad* and tha tote counted by tha
Legislature on the day* named by tbs
Constitution for declaring tha mult* of
regular elections! Aa if the delegation
to tha Legislature of power to order
special elections did not necessarily catty
with it the power to open and oonnt tha
votes on epeeial oecaeume. Such en objeo-

THE F.I.EBEHTN OF OPPMltlO!l TO OUT.
OEANT.
At least three-fifths of the voting etti-
sens of tbe United Btete* deprecate and
would gladly prevent the re-eieoiion of
President Grant. Them opponent* of
hia administration oonsist of the whole
Demuc retie party and fatly one-fifth at
the itapubiioao party. Tha only dideulty
is to oombiuo them into one solid phalanx.
The defeat of Grant and tha deltvarano*
of the oountry from another four yean of
hia imbecile and disgraceful admiustta-
turn, depend upon tbe poesIMIBy of per
fecting a oordiu union anion g hia oppo
nents.
To accomplish tbis some thing! must
b* done, and other things must be for
borne. Among the things to be foabome
and deprecated are these two : First, ap-
puals to mere party spirit and party pre
judice. If Democrats should raise their
party flog too high, and flaunt it too defi
antly in tho fsom of Grant's Hepobttean
enemies, they would set a bad and auioi-
dal example. Houeat Republicans oan
enter into such a union m we propose
only by breaking their present party tie*;
and Democrats axe bound, in honor and
magnuuimity, to oouced* aa muoh m they
ask. We osunot, iu conseienoe apd con
sistency, ask others to make greater aao-
rifiees tor the common good than w* are
willing to make onraalvea. Of oourm, it
would be an intuit to either aide to expect
it to make any sacrifice of principle ; but
if, on a comparison of views, the anti-
Grant men are found to Agree on essen
tials, it to the plain set dictate of patri
otism and publio duty to waive minor
points of differenoe aud not allow party
punctilio to stand In the way of auooim.
Secondly, another thing to be tors bora*
is any obstinacy or preference for farorite
candidate* for Preaidant. For our part,
we do not ears muoh from whic'i branch
of tbe combined opposition to Or vat he ia
taken; provided he be one who ean ptve the
needed tone to our publio service. Let it
be understood that, in this raep.-ot, both
wings of the reform party stand on tha
same footing in every reepeot, and that
there will be on each bios equal willing
ness and zeal to support a Presidential
cundidate selected from tha other. It to

cal position ot former party oounection*.

not wish to anticipate trouble. Wo only

mind when Oontoy first took the offioe.

aiding tbo new President to ootnpose *

candidates, whether inside or outside the
Democratic party, have a fair show iu the

meanwhile, is to settlo the principles and
issues ou wbiob the combination against
Grant shall be made.
Without undertaking to give a com
plete catalogue, we will indicate a few ef
tbe elements of opposition to General
Grant:
I. The crueade against corruption in
uj/iee. This is on* ot the moat hopeful
issue* for a combined movement of hon

It has bean well started iu tbe soooe.aful

troduces the general battle ugainst offload
corruption. It bas demonstrated tha
posfibiliiy of sinking pen) llifiarsaesaia
