dowment of glO 000 per annum to the Uni
versity—the second to increase the funds
heretofore set apart for the endowment of
county Academies and Free Schools—the
third—to establish a Seminary for the edu- 1
cation ot Females. The liberality display-J
ed in this report is truly praisworthy, and \
its author certainly possesses an accurate <
knowledge ol the subject ; we have only to ;
regret that the style of the document is in i
bad taste, and of this no other proof is ne- I
cessary titan the following extract : 1
Your committee cannot close their report without remarkin'. 1 : I
upon a void, wuich they discovered in the vuncly of matter re
ferred to them, calculated to carry aking to til* heart ot every I
genuine lover of his species Your committee read wild a glow |
ot gratulalion and pride in the report of |iie President of Franklin
college, that there our young aspiiants. the hopes of our country, \
were flitting from one science to another, and rising with full
fledged wings into their suhlimest regions. The statutes we have 1
enumerated, shew that the slate, wun unsparing hand, is lavish ,
mg her treasures. In the reports from academies, we are in- ‘
lormed that Hundreds are crowding up the ways which lead to
these your pensioned temples. In their hcli.ilf, the executive
message invokes a continuance, and an increase ol your bounty—• *
Up m this extended picture, we have looked, and with pleasure
too, but no where upon its face have we discovered the splendid
relievo ot a Female Seminary, supported by public muuiiicencc 1
Sj fur then is it imperfect, and so far does it require the retouch
ol a masters pencil—That master, is the Legislature of the Stale
of Georgia, having the capacity, and your cumin dice trust, the
wi.l also,either to tinish the picture or create a new one. An in
stitution, endowed by the public, lor the education of females ex
-4 lusivelv,. upon an enlarged course of instruction, is no where to
he found, within the knowledge of your committee, except in the
State of New-York. Forthis distinction, that already distin
guished state is indebted to the 111■ • r ito* ious exertions of Emma
■Villard to her theory of female education, and to the practical
'd splays which she has made of its excellence. Such a scheme in
G'orgia would indeed be novel, but even from its novelty, inigli*
be d.nvn an argument in its support.”
hi a Report upon public education there
was reason jo expect clearness of thought
and purity of expression. In the foregoing
passage there is an ambition of ornament,
an affectation of sublimity and a straining
alter metaphor winch would not we should
hope, uc tolerated ui the essays of the scho
lars, eitiiei male or female, of the Semina
ries now inexistence or about to be estab
lished.
The last auvices from Mil|edgev|lle in
form us that the Congressional District bill
had not been acted upon, and there was
some douot of its passage. If it should
pass the State will lose its weight and im
portnice in the councils of the nation. \Ve
have not yet learned what has been the de
cision n relation to the Darien Bank, Ma
ny opinions prevailed upon the subject, and
the restlt could not with any certainty be
foretold. A bill will probably pass for the
organization of a Board of Public Works.
A proposition was before the House, to au
thorise the Governor at Ins discretion to
make deposits in the Banks of the State.—
A law will probably pass authorising limited
partnerships. What will be the effect ot
the efforts making to remove the seat of
Government to Macon, and to abolish the
Penitentiary, we have not been informed,
we trust that neither will succeed.
A Bill ha. been reported jn the House of
Representatives for the establishment of a
new Market-House in this City.
LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS.
The Report upon the Darien Bank was
called upon the 28th ult. and again yester
day, when a number of amendments and
substitutes were offered, and considerable
discussion took place, bat the House ad
journed without coming to any definitive
conclusion on the subject of it. Bills have
passed both branches forming three new
coutitles, to be taken from Monroe, Henry,
Early, Appling & Irwin, named Lowndes,
Thomas and Hiker. A bill is also oe
lore the House, which has been read the
first time, providing lor the removal of the
Seat ot G werument from Milledgevtlle to
Macon. The Governor is authorised by
this bill to appoint Commissioners and have
the necessary bull lings forthwith erected
for that purpose. The bill dividing the
State into Congressional Districts is still
before the House, and made the order of
the day for Thursday. [ Recorder .
I‘AV OF THE MEMOEIIS OF CONGRESS.
From the first Congress, in 1780, inchi
sive, until the 4th of March, 1795, Sena
"tors and Representatives received each six
dollars per diem, and dollars for every
20 miles tiavel. From the 4th of Match',
1795, to the 4th of March, 1796, Sena
tors received 87 per diem and 87 for every
20 miles travel, anti Representatives only
8(3. From the 4th March, 1790, until the
4th December, 1815, the perdiem was 86,
and the mileage 8(5 to Senators and Repre
sentatives. From the 4th of December, 1815
until the 4th March, 1817, each Senator
and Representative received £ISOO per an
num, with a proportional deduction, for
abscence trom any cause but sicknes. The
President if the Senate pro tempore, and
Speaker ot tlie House, 83000 per annum
each. From the 4tlt March, 1817, the
compensation to members of both branches
id Congress has been 88 per diem and 88
for every 20 miles travel.
The Legislature have elected Col. James
C; Watson, Major General of the third
Division of Georgia Militia, to supply the
vacancy occasioned by the resignation of
Maj or General Ncwnan. i
The President has appointed Payton Gay.
of Massachusetts, to be Consul of the Uni
ted States for the Island of Teneriffe, in
place of John O’Sullivan, deceased.

At a meeting of the City-Council yester
day, Dr. J. P Screven, was re-elected
Health Officer, and John W. Stirk, E n
Harbor Master, of the Port of Sava uiah lur
the ensuing year, without opposition.
[.Georgian,
'the Legislature against the People. —
I he people in the late election for Governor,
manifested their approbation of Governor
iroup. Al ul the measures he had pursued
by re-v ei ting him. The majority of this
Lcgislaure, who do not agree with hint in
political opinions, and who have violently
opposed Ins elevation, were clamorous to
£ive that election to the People, under a pre
tended anxiety for the rights of the People,
but ~i reality from a hope that they might
be enabled to place their favorite (General
C ark) in the Chief Magistracy.—Disap
po'nteil in this, they have determined to ob
ta*n full satisfaction, by turning out of oflke
£ v erv man, (whose election d V| 'ended on
the Legislature) who dare^ o vote- for, or
advocate the election of tyerum Troup.
From whom then is this sa s ( a ctur ' to be
obtained, or rather on whom iu they to
wreak their vengeance ? On the People—
for the people, and not die few officers, who
have met their disastrous fate before this
honest and upright Legislature, have placed
G. M. Troup in the office. Before the
members can take their seats, they arc by
the Constitution compelled to take an oath,
and in that they must swear “ that on all
questions and measures which may come be
fore them, they will give their votes and so
conduct themselves as may, in their judg
ment, appear most conducive to the interest
and prosperity of this State
Without calling the attention of our rea
ders to the other elections, we would refer
them to that of the Treasurer, George R.
Clayton, Esq has filled that office for 18 or
20 years pgst. with such “ correctness and
ability,” that his name has almost become
proverbial for correctness in keeping ac
counts. On the same day the election came
. on, the resolution reported by the joint com
mittee on Finance, passed unanimously in
i both branches, and before the ink was dry
! with which it was recorded on the Journals,
this officer was turned out by a majority of
. 19 votes, and tire only offence which could
, be charged against him, was his voting for
. Gov. Troup. Let the People look to this—
They have offended these men, now “ dres
. sed with a little brief authority,” and on
. them will their vengeance fall, when they
, dare to exercise it. —Southern Recorder.
