A strong effort is being made to cry down tbc conservative Republicans, wbo are against Governor Bullock’s personal schemes. It is to the interest of Gov. Bullock to do this, because, with tbeso men be could se cure success, and their opposition to bis in iquities is the barrier in bis way. But that Democrats should Join in this cry, against men battling with them for the good of the State, ontalde of all poli tics, is monstrous and suicidal, indeed. Wo can not understand it. It is the course that Gov. Bullock dictates to bis Democratic allies in bis pay. But that an honest member of the party should be so impolitic and unjust, surpasses comprehen sion. To drive off reinforcements, to refuse needed aid, to reject help in dire necessity, is the wildest folly sensible men can do. Don’t do this folly, Democrats. Virginia. The shattered “Old Dominion” at last seems to have the prospect of a partial freedom. The bill for her admission has passed Congress, and only needs Grant’s approval. It is true she is hampered Eomewhat, but what matters that? She fires jubilant guns, and seems to think the victory glo rious. We have no word against her course. Bhe has travailed in a humility surpassing description, and it seems, about to be suc cessful. She has abased herself unspeaka bly. Let us hope, for her sake, that her exaltation will follow it. She truckled to Butler with yearning eagerness, and with characteristic malignancy, he has been the bitterest opponent of her admission. But let her not think the restoration is perpetual. Let the fate of Georgia admon ish her. Let the threatened degradation of Tennessee tie a warning, that as the .sole condition of admission was subservience to Radicalism, the same condition only will secure her stay in the Union. It Is a grave question whether the cost is not too great. But the once proud old State has plead so piteously ami worked with such zeal for the mess of pottage, that we have no heart to dampen tier joy. ^ ^ The Fifteenth Amendment. This measure is about done up. Its jig is nearly successful. These States have rat ified it: 1. Nevada. 2. Louisiana. 3. West Virginia. 15. Florida. 16. New Hampshire. 17. Virginia. 4. North Carolina. 18. Vermont 5. Illinois. 6. Michigan. 7. Wisconsin. 8. Maine. 9. South Carolina. 10. Pennsylvania. 11. Massachusetts. 12. Arkansas. 19. Alabama. 20. Kansas. 21. Missonri. 22. Indiana. 23. Minnesota. 24. Mississippi. 25. Rhode Island. 26. Ohio. New York has withdrawn its ratification. Indiana’s ratification was passed byanille- gal body, there being no quorum. Virgin ia and Mississippi have not been admitted as Statos yet Twenty-eight States most ratify to mako the Amendment the law. Iowa will ratify, and also Nebraska, Texas, Rhode Island, and most probably Georgia. Delaware, Kentucky, Tennessee, Cali fornia, Maryland, Now Jersey, and Oregon, will refuse. By admitting Virginia, Mississippi Texas and Georgia, the Amendment will be se cured. . The Courier-Journal tries hard to get up some comfort and puts the following agree able result as possible: The Southern pooplo will ultimately con trol the negro vote, and may use the Fif teenth Amendment to break the beads of its authors. Who knows but it will in the end, set a precedent and furnish the author ity for consoliditing the six New England Statei into one State? Stranger things havr tome to pass. Prentice. THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION. VOLUME n.l ATLANTA, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1870. INUMBER 46 is refurbished and kept before the peo ple with “ damnable Iteration.” The ghosts of those poor fellows are dragged out, and used on all occasion, alike in comedy and tragedy. They are worn threadbare. Yet these insatiable chaps will trot them out on all occasions. Admirable ghosts! Salting alike the past, the present and the futnre! Elastic ghosts! Stretching, conveniently over time and space, and furnishing irre futable proof to loyal minds, of long-gone, existing, and coming disorders in the great body politic of poor Georgia. Gentlemen, slack up the farce. Let these poor ghosts rest for awhile. If you can’t do anything else, make something new. Get a few more counties under martial law. Badger the people to madness. I'ounccbayonetsdown in pcaccfnlcommu nities and stir up matters. There are more ways than one to play the deuce among quiet citizens. But for Heaven’s' sake rest these poor' rn'n-to-death ghosts. In pity, spare them. rrcntice, the rarest spirit that has ever illustrated Journalism in this Western land, has gone to his long homo. What the man was in tho zenith of his power has been shown by tho tremendous prestige that the shadow of that power has wielded in the last few years. The very adumbration of that rcmarkablo genius was more potent than tho living substance of other intel lects recognized as strong and command- ing. And his final passing away, though long- looked for, will ring tho notes of a broad regret In this wide land. He was born In Preston, Conn., Decem ber IS, 1S02, and was therefore nearly sev enty years old. He graduated at twenty- one, at Brown University, Providence, It I. At twenty-six he edited the Hanford Weekly Review. In 1S31, at twenty-nine years. Jie removed to l.oulaville, Ky, and became the editor of the Louisville Jour nal. This he conducted until it united with the Louisville Courier, some tw« years back, and formed that powerful pa per. the Louisville Courier-Journal, ne has been on the editorial staff of thisjour- nr.t up to hla death. His genius was an extraordinary one. llis spirit wns essentially combative. The mde turbulence of politics suited him well, lie was at home in it* fierce turmoil. In the royal hours of tho whig party ho was a power,and wielded a wide Influence. Witty, hard-working, fiery, aggressive, unvanqulshable. imaginative, with a vein of the purest poesy, resistless Id the com- - tuMui of an unequaled Invective, savagely sarcastic, with rare qualities of sledge hammer brain, Prentice was the Cory- pheus of journalism. His.death severs another link with the past, . _ _ _, Honor to the memory of George Denni son Prentice. _ Murder Always on Hand. There Is plenty of fresh stabbing; pound- Inir, poisoning and shooting, rivo now cases are now under investigation, involv ing the crime of tnordcr. One is a wife murder by stabbing; another a common whisky murder, death resulting from inju ries'received In a drunken row; and the third is a case of free love shooting, etc. All the kinds of Irregular life have their penalties.—A T . Y. Herald. The above is a specimen of the daily bill of fare, in the crime line, North. What a pity onr Radical friends are put to it so "sorely to get crime to complain of for po litical purposes, when it is so plentiful on the sacred soil of the land that needs no reconstruction. At the Radical meeting on Monday night OUR BRAZIL LETTER. Particulars of tho Death of Gotts- chalk, tbo Famous Pianist. Rio, December 22,1869. Editor Constitution—Stn: Gottschalk, the renowned pianist and composer, died atTl- jua. near this city, on the morning of Sat urday last. He was taken suddenly ill. in the midst of the second performance in a concert of 650 performers- He succumbed, after three days illness, although attended by the most scientific physicians, who accompa nied him to Tijua,and never left him until ho breathed bis last. The Emperor sent daily to enquire alter him, as he was a great favorite at the palace. His disease was an abcess in the intestines, and it de fied tht* physician’s skill. The Philharmon ic Society claimed the body, and it was brought to their building in tbo city, and there enbalmed by bia friend, Dr. Costa Fecreira. On Sunday afternoon, at 5 o’clock, the mournful procession moved to the music last composed by him. Several hundred men. with heads uncovered, with torches (lightedj in their hands, followed the body to the suburbs—the carriages accompany ing. The side walks, windows and veran das were filled with spectators, anxious to pay the last tribute to the city’s favorite. The body was deposited in the cemetery of St. John Baptists, to await the orders of bis family, and will probably be sent to New Oi leans for burial. Gottschalk’s won derful musicial abilities, combined with his charitable and social disposition, endeared him to the citizens of Rio; and the papers of the day are filled with eulogies and fa vorable notices of him. It seems as it a shining light in Rio had been suddenly ex tinguished. Several eloquent speeches were delivered over liis remains by Brazil ians, who paid great compliments to the man, and the country which produces such men. H. L.

Washington, Jan. 22,1870. Editor Conttitution: in tlie Senate, yes terday, Mr. Trumbull and Mr. Sumner had a tittle set-to, in which the windy Massa chusetts Senator got decidedly the worn ol it. Both gentlemen were several times called to order by the Chairman, for using nncarttinientarv language. Mr. Trumbull ably defended Gw. Walker, of Virginia, from tiie attacks made upon him by Sum ner and others; and Sumner, in replying, was more grossly abusive than belore, of Virginia’s reconstructed Governor. Mr. Drake’s two amendments to tho Vir ginia bill were then carried; and another, by Mr. Sumner, guaranteeing the common school system, was also adopted. About live r. m , the bill passed as amended, by a strict party vote. The Chronicle of this morning says it was probably the fullest vote ever taken in the Senate. The bill now goes back to the House, where hyena Butler will wreak his ven geance anew upon prostrate Virginia. He says that even this Dill shall not pass the House, but that lie will have it referred to the Reconstruction Committee, where it will be strangled, and a new bill reported. Virginians here aro much discouraged. They say they would not have objected even to the bill reported from the Recon struction Comtnittee,-aa it only exacted the lalfillment of pledges already given, but the delay Is seriously injuring the material interests of the State, and causes complete stagnation in business. Yesterday was “ private-bill day ” In the be presented to Congress certainly show the truthfulness of these statements, bnt many will be sorry to see the unconstitu tional powere now assumed by Congress furtber augmented even to remedy bo great an evil as that complained of.- In confordlity with bis declarations that he was “always in his seat,” Senator Sum ner occupied bis usual seat in the Senate Chamber to-day, although the Senate was not in session, and busied himself reading newspapers and writing letters. The Lingards close their engagement at the National Theatre this evening. Mon day next Maretzek’s Italian Opera Troup TC Laura Keene and Company have had good houses at Wells’ Opera House du ring the week. Prince Arthur, of England, arrived here this evening, and proceeded at once to the residence of Mr. Thornton, the British Minister. He remains in Washington sev eral days, and will be dined and wined ex tensively. The Women’s Rights women “ Interview ed” the District Committee of Congress this morning. A majority of tho committee appear to be opposed to the granting of suffrage to the women of the District. Argus. House, and as usual, it was exceedingly dull. A number of members made lengthy speeches to empty benches and de serted galleries. Everybody flocked to the Senate chamber and galleries to listen to the debate on Virginia. The Senate is not in session to-day, and the nouse met for general debate only. Mr. Moore, of Illinois spoke In favor of the removal of the Capitol, but did not in dicate any particular place. He thought, however, the interests or the country de manded that the seat of Government should bo farther West. Mr Kerr, of Indiana, exposed the iniqui ties of the Radical party, criticised the im becile financial policy of the administra tion. and denounced the extravagance and mis’ule of the present Government. His words fell like hot shot within the Radical Mr. Logan, of Illinois, followed with a speech advocating the removal of the Cap itol to the West. His idea seemed to be to found a city. He attacked the Washington people right and left; charged them with being disloyal, robbers, etc. Washington, he said, was rotten and corrupt, from one end of It to the other. While there may be some grains of truth in this, would not the new seat of Government speedily be come as corrupt and as rotten as the pres ent Capital ? Where the carcass is, there will the vultures be. Jay Gould and and James Fisk, Jr., ar rived here last evening, and were the ob served of all observers to-day. Fisk’s big diamond glistened in his sbirt front “like a morning star,” and the wearer was as happy and jolly as a “bigsun-flower. The two Wall street magnates were much lion ized by the smaller fry of Congressmen, who went down on their knee3, figurative ly, before the heroes of the gold ring. Fisk and Gould were belore General Garfield’s Committee on Banking and Currency, this morning, in relation to the gold conspira cy. Fisk testified that he purchased gold on assurances from Corbin, the Presiden tial brother-in-law. that no sales wonld be made by the Government for some time; and that Corbin asserted he had this infor mation from the highest official authority. People now ask why should Corbin have risked a large sum of money on his own account, unless he had some such assur ances; and many-tongued romor again connects the President of the United States with the conspirators. It is tube hoped the investigation now going on. will setile tho responsibility on Qio proper shoulders. After appearing before the Committee, Messrs. Fisk and Gonld occupied seats on the floor of the House for some time. A telegram was received here from New York to-day. stating that a rumor prevail ed hero that Morrissy and Fisk had met in a Wasbingtou hotel, and, after an- angry dispute. Fisk had shot and killed Morrissy. As the latter gentleman has not been here since the re-assembling of Congress, the Col.

Provis ional Government. That proclamation is based upon the a uhoritv given him bf the Congress of theUhlted State under the act assented to December 22. 1869, wliich has for its object the'promotion of tho recon struction in Georgia. More than four years ago, the work of reconstruction commenced. I fear we will live to regret the great mistake we made in rejecting the first terms of settlement submitted to us by Congress, for it offered .to us more of liberty than has ever been offered to any subjugated people since the beginning of time. We are again called upon to pass upon this question. It is one of no ordinary moment to us. Upon your action, Ro a great extent, depends our future political existence. Let us hope that prudence, mod eration and practical common sense will control our actions. We are the cortquered the Government tho conquerer. we have other duties, also to pertorm. Under the political excitement of the day, the mate rial interests are being neglected. Free labor can not be made permanently useful without mental culture. The Idea that a free people can prosper in ignorance is fa tal. Our Treasury must necessarily be de pleting, and our taxes will become extraor dinarily burdensome without reform. Then let us forget the past—it is gone from us forever. Let us take hold of the questions of to-day. and dispose of them, looking only to the future interests of our P ^Wlth the most profound sentiments of regard to this renewal of your confidence. I now declare the- House organized and ready to proceed to business. TWEEDY hastily moved to adjourn The motion was put, and McW HORTER declared that the House was adjourned till 10 a. x- to-morfow.

Roll called, and journal of yesterday read and approved.. On motion of Mr. HUNGERFORD, op- jortunlty was given Senators to bo sworn n by U. S. Commissioner Smith, who was present. . Messrs. Welch, of the 10th,'and Bruton, of the 8th district, came forward and were sworn in. On motion of Mr. MERRELL, the Senate adjourned uniil to-morrow morning at 10 o’clock. Official: could speak, but he would puthisown con strpetion on Ballock’s Message. As a Re- nnblican, as a member of the House, as a citizen of Georgia, he protested against this illegal, unauthorized, and unjust attempt to gain party ascendancy. He was aware that recent events had probably weakened his Influence with the party. He appealed to the negroes, and pointed to bis record of persecution while battling for their rights. BRYANT withdrew his motion to lay on the table, and Mr. Shumate arose to speak, when the Speaker said he desired'to give the message the proper direction. He said he felt he was the Speaker of a Provisional House, that the indication was that Gen? oral Terry bad endorsed the message, and he would rale that a plurality, under the Code, did elect, and these members were en titled to their seats. HUM ATE appealed from this deciston, awl .“aid that the House was not being or gan-zed under the Code of Georgia, but u jf—n law of Congress. Said Speaker had declared yesterday tho House was organ- iztd, but such was not the case. - It was still under tbo absolute control of General Terry, and the House was not act ing under the law of Georgia. As General Terry and Gov. Bullock have submitted this question to them, they could only act tin der the law of Congress, and that law made no provision for the qualification of any one, except such as were included in Gen. Meade’s order. O’NEAL, of Lowndes, arose to speak. Hjs position was that the Houso was being organized under Gen. Terry’s order, and the General was willing to allow tho House to organize under the Code of Georgia. He said they once said Bradley was no body in contemplation of law, and that Lester was elected. He agreed to the prop osition then, and now feeds them out of the same spoon they had fed Bradley with. How aid they like the soup? Golden’s face widened into a silvery smile and a broad yah ? yah ? O’Neal displayed much quickness at re partee, and tamed the the laugh on Bryant once or twice; but declined to extend the courtesy of correction to the Democrats. Many rose to speak. Tho SPEAKER recognized the gentleman from Bibb; but said be was tired of all this. He was only a Provisional Speaker, and said he had about brought his mind to stop this debate. SCOTT, of Floyd, arose to a point of or der. He understood that the SPEAKER had ruled that the debate and appeal must cease; but the SPEAKER explained that he was only exercising his right to close the debace when it grew wearisome. This right was denied. The House alonccan stop debate, by call of the previous question. TURNER, of Bibb, desired some light. PRICE, of Lumpkin took a sensible po tion- He said the matter was not before the House in a fair and legitimate manner. The House had net organized and notified Gov. Bullock of the fact; and that Bullock’s message was premature, and should lay on tho table until organization and appoint ment of committee on privileges and elec- tious to enquire into the truth of Gov. Bul lock’s statements about these men. Previous question was here called, and the Speaker proceeded to state the reasons tor: his present position. Ho said the mes- sage directed this course. Mr. SHUMATE asked if lie was correct in saying “directed,” or was it not “ad vised.” The SPEAKER evaded the reply and put the question! The SPEAKER declared the Speaker sus tained.

Me WHORTER, Provisional Spoaker. - W. A. LANE, of Brooks, arose and re quested the Speaker to have Gov. Bullock’s Message, or non-descript,' again read, as the members had not beard it read. Mr. SCOTT objected to this, and said It was merely to take up time, and get more provisional orders. The document had al ready been passed upon and voted out Mr. TWEEDY made a pass at Mr. Scott, but soon tired of the contest. O’NEAL, of Lowndes, said that any member bad a right to demand the reading of- papers, and that no member (as "Mr. Scott was doing) bad a right to catechise the Speaker.

The Speaker had no Clerks and was con siderably nonplussed to get some-one to read a paper he had in his hand. Sheibly and Newton had disappeared with Harris. Finally, John Conly was found to act as Clerk. He read then a communication from His Excellency the Provisional Governor: The substance of Ballnck’s message was that certain persons were here claiming seats in place of members declared ineligi ble by G«n. Terry, and tbat lie recommend ed thafthe House admit ’hem. He said tbat Gen.Terry endorsed this course, but was willing to submit tlie matter to the House. *’ The communication was addressed to the Hon. R. L. McWhorter, Provisional Speak- Mr. BRYANT arose to oppose this mess age. He would move to lay the message on the table. He said it was contrary to the law to admit the member having the next highest number of votes. He had opposed It before on a memorable occasion, and was unwilling to go back on his record, and supposed every Republican In the House would stand by their record. He said, under tbe Code, the only color of excuse for seating the proposed members, was when the elected member was con stitutionally disqualified. He said a plu rality does not elect under tlie Code. O’NEAL here rose to a point of order. Then DARNELL rose to one; and then A gentleman of African descent.

Mr. Anthony Trollope flays in one of his works; Perhaps, there is no period so pleasant among all the pleasant periods of love-ma king as that in which the intimacy between the lovers is so assured, and tho coming event so noar as to produco and endure conversation about tho ordinary littlo mat ters of life; what can bo done with tho lim ited means of their disposal; how that life shall bo begun which thoy shall lead to gether; what idea each has of tho other’s duties; what each can do for tho other; what each will renounce for tho other. There was a tree sonso of tho delight of in timacy in tlie girl who declared that she had nover loved her lover so well as when she told him how many purs of stockings sho had got It.is very sweet to gaze at tho stars, and it is sweet to sit oat among tho haycocks. Tho reading of poetry to gether, oat of tho samo book, with brows all close, and aims all mingled, is very sweet; the pouring out of tho whole heart in written words, which tho writer knows would be hold to bo ridiculous by any eyes and care, and any sense but tho eyes and ears and sense of tho dear ono to whom thoy are sent, is very sweet; but for.tho girl who has made a shirt for tho man she loves, thoro has como a moment in tho last stitch of it sweeter than any stars, hay cocks, poetry, or superlative epithets have produced. ■ Political.

They aro in brief to go on and execute the law as he un derstands it, and adds that ho is sustained in what ho has done thus far. A Radical member of tho Georgia Legislature tele graphed here to-c[ay to one of the Recon struction Committee, that more legislation would bo needed to bring order out of the present chaos. In a debate on Georgia in the Houso to-day, the Democratic members, especially Gen. Morgan, of Ohio, defied Butler or any of tho Republicans to point to one line of the reconstruction laws which authorized such a military commission as Terry has sitting to inquire into the eligi bility of mombers of that Legislature.

A handsome leg is a rarity, we liad al most said an impossibility, among Ameri can women. The reason of this, i- the place where they wear their garters. No French woman, no English woman of cul tivation, nowadays wears licr garter below the knee. It is ruinous to the calf. More than this. It has serious consequences of another kind. The principal vein of the * eg (vena saphena brevis) runs fust beneath tlm skin until it nearly reaches the kuec, when it sinks between the umeN. Now if this is constricted at Its largest part by a tight garter, the blood is checked in its re urn to the heart, tho feet are easily chilled. »nd more liable to disease, the other veins if the leg are swollen into hard, blue knots, uccomc varicose, as it is called, and olten break, forming obstinate ulcers. This Is a picture which a physician secs nearly every day. With the garter fastened above tho knee all this pain and deformity is avoid ed. but it is still better to wear no garter ■it all. and suspend the stocking by tapes to a belt around tlie waist. In this case, how ever, a well-fitting stocking is needed. summary of advice to a woman wno WISHES TO BE BEAUTIFUL. First, let her correct her bau habits. If she lias any. of carriage, of expression, of want if cleanliness, of false modes of dress, of injudicious diet, and of indolence. Secondly, let her study her own com plexion, expression, stature, profile, and outline, precisely as an artist docs iliosc of one of his ideal figures, and with the same care and pains as the artist, let tier choose or herself the contrasting and harmoniz ing colors, thecolffbrc, the expression and the manner best adapted to bringout prom inently all her natural advantages, and throw into the shade all her uniavorable traits. Thirdly, let unsightly warts and scars bo done away with, let hairs which injure tlio appearance be destroyed, the complexion and hair be cultivated, the form developed, diminished or increased by hygienic, emo tional and dietetic means, the features and organs of special sense subjected, if need be, to the training and mollification of the surgeon, and the general health Improved under tlie advice of an intelligent physi cian, tlie teeth, voice and even tlie nails at tended to. If she has done all tills, there will be little need for the purely venal cos metic arts, such as paint, powder, patches, and rouge. Tho Military Commission. DEBATE IS CONGRESS UPON IT ON THE 24TU. The Houso proceeded to tho considera tion of the business on tho Speaker’^ table, as follows: The reply of the General of the Army to the call for information on Mr. Brooks’ resolution as to the authority for certain military officers acting as Committee of Elections in tho Georgia Legislature, stat ing that they aro not acting as sucii com mittee, hut as a board outsiae of the Legis lature to assist General Terry in tlie exe- eution of his most unpleasant office and duties, imposed upon him by act of Con gress. * Mr. Brooks, of New York, addressed tlie House on the subject, contending that tlie military authorities had no power whatev er to interfere with tlie organization of the Legislature of the State of Georgia. It was an entire assumption on the part of General Terry and his subordinates, and was utierly lawless. Governor Bullock had introduced a railroad master, who had not been elected to any legislative office, loprc- slde over tlie Legislature, ne hoped lie was not misinformed in being told that General Sherman and General Grant were about sending a special messenger to Geor gia to correct those illegal proceedings. JIr. Morgan protested against these ac cumulated acts of usurpation, not only on the part of Congress, but on the part of tlie Executive. Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts, defended the Executive and Gen. Terry. Ho said that Gen. Terry had only done what Ora. Meade did on the first organization of the Georgia Legislature—undertaken to deter mine what members were eligible. That was authorized - by all the reconstruction acts. Mr. Brooks asked Mr. Butler to point, to the acts giving such authority. Mr. Butler said he was ready to give all that information, on the principle of the carpenter testifying in court, who was asked how far he was from tlie place whero the. incident occurred, and answered that lie wns four feet two and a half incites from * it; and being asked bow he knew that so accurately, replied that he thought soma fellow would he tool enough to ask him that question, and he measured it. He referred to section eleven of the act of July 19, 1889, giving authority to tho General of tho Army to act in this reconstruction mat ter. He knew that there had come up a re port from the Associated Press of the South (which never reported in favor of loyalty, hutin favor of secession and rebellion; and hoped to see that monopoly put down) that Gen. Terry had organized a military com mission to try a member of the Georgia Legislature for perjury; but that was not so. lie had only appointed a hoard of Government officers to find out who were and who were not eligible. lie sj>oko whereof lie knew when he affirmed that the action of General Terry had been, and would be. sustained by the administration, and that Georgia would bo reconstructed in tlie interests of loyalty. After further discussion between Messrs. Butler. Morgan. Voorhecs, and others, tho ■apers were referred to the Committee on Reconstruction. Answering Argument with Mud—No sooner does Mr. Dawes—like Mr. Wells, a man of honorable reputation, against whose integrity do ono has ever betorc ut tered a whisper—no sooner does Mr. Dawes speak lor the people against the monopo lists and-jobbers, and show up waste and corruption, than instantly his motives are also impugned, and an attempt Is made not to answer his statement, which these job bers feel to he unanswerable, but to cast doubts upon his character. It will not do; it is too late to deceive the people by such clumsy and dishonorable means. Let tlie monopolists answer Mr. Wells and Mr. Dawes; let them show those gentlemen mistaken: when they do.that they will not need to call names. But they prefer to call names; and sensible people will understand why.—AT. Y; Post (Rad.) GOVERNOR- BULLOCK’S MES- SAGE. He Recommends the House to Put in the Next Highest Candidates. Hon. R. S. McWhorter, Speaker: Tbe following named persons have ap plied to the General commanding thisDIs- trict to he awarded the seats in the House to which they were elected, by reason of the fact that the persons heretofore claim ing to have been elected were disqualified, and could not. therefore, have been elected. The commanding General is decided in his opinion that the person who received the number of votes next highest to tlie candi date disqualified—being himself qualified— is legally entitled to the seat. The com manding General, however, evincing a due regard for your Honorable body as organ ized. prefers that such persons should be admitted to their rights and privileges in the House by the act of the House itself, rather titan exercise in the premises any authority vested in him as District Com mander. Therefore,'moved by the desire which I am sure actuates all good citizens, that our present effort to promote reconstruction shall be so successful as to secure complete approval from the General Government and our consequent early admission into tbe family of States, I embrace this oppor tunity tocommunicate “ information of the State of the Commonwealth, and recom mend to your consideration, measures deemed necessary and expedient” by pre senting the names of W. L. Goodwin, of Hass county; James R.Thomasson.of Car- roll county; William Guilford, of Upson connty; James A. Jackson, of Randolph connty; Jacob P. Hutchings, of Jones countv; Henry C. Holcomb, of Fulton county; Joseph Armstrong, of Dooley county, and J. B. Nesblt, Gordon county, who were legally elacted, and are prepared to take the oath required by the act of Congress of December 22,1869, and to re spectfully recommend that the said persons be permitted to take the oath and their seats at once.
