TOE CONSTITUTION/
ATLANTA, GEORGIA, APRIL, 19.
The End Is Nigh.
To-day, at one o’clock, the Georgia bill
is to come up before the Senate on Us final
vote. We await the result with great In
terest, and sbaH be glad to chronicle some
solution In reference to this vexed and
seemingly illimitable qncstlon.
Wendell Phillips to CuiTc.
At the 15th Amendment celebration in
New York, Wendell Phillips concluded a
characteristic speech to the negroes with
the following pithy admonition: >
" If I had any legacy to leave the race I
hare labored fofall my life, it wonld be
this: For the next twenty years to go to the
ballot-box and rote, not ai a Republican,
or aa a Democrat, nor as anything else ex
cept a negro.”
What-the Defeat of the Williams
Amendment Indicates.
A Washington correspondent of the Bal
timore Gazette, writiitg under dafc of the
18th, says: *
“ Nothing definite in respect to the fate
of the Bingham amendment to the Geor
gia bill can be inferred from the vote taken
yesterday on Mr. Williams’ substitute.
Weeks ago I predicted that the Radicals
would l>e driven by dissensions in their
own ranks to keep Georgia in an unrecon
structed condition. The probability still
is that matters there will be kept In their
present state, nnlcas at the heel of the ses
sion the Radical purpose Is not otherwise
accomplished.”
Those Georgia Bonds that are
Trading Against the Bingham
Amendment.
The Washington correspondent of the
Richmond Dispatch telegraphed to that
Journal yesterday, as follows:
“ Railroad bonds endorsed by the State of
Georgia have been offered to secure votes
against the Bingham Amendment to the
Georgia bill. In one instance this can be
proved. The Senator who was to have
been Influenced has declared bis Intention
to vote for the Amendment, and the party
proposing to trade was promptly exposed
to the friends of the Amendment.”
This statement will surprise no one.
Now, what will the Senate do about It?
Will it still allow Bollock to openly lobby
on the Senate floor, and to proffer bribes to
Senators? We shall see.—Cor. Ballimor*
Gazette.
An'Interesting LibellCosc.
Tho case of Walter Florcstino and Henry
A. Wcttstcin came up in the Superior Court
at Cincinnati recently, on demurrer to peti
tion.
Tho plaintiffs were 'can-can performers,
and the Enquirer, in an article concerning
the disgraccfuincss of their performances,
stigmatized them as “blackguards.” Plaint
iffs entered suit against the Enquirer for
libel, laying damages at $10,000 each. Dc
fendant demurred, claiming that the parties
had not been degraded in the estimation of
acquaintances or the public, or had suffered
loss in property or character; that the libel
is of the business; that, to constitute the
language libelous, the business must be
lawful, which is not tho case, as by city or
dinances immorality of Ibis sort is expressly
forbidden. The demurrer of defendants
was sustained by tho Court, and libel
knocked in the head.
A Startling Itomor.
It is.rumored that tho Legislature of
Georgia Is about to sell the State Road.
We have been nnable to learn to whom this
great enterprise of Georgia is to bo so
summarily disposed of, nor the causes that
have led to the rumored sale.
If the sale of the State Road is really
contemplated by the Legislature, it will
causo many a pet scliemo of the Radical
agitators to bo abandoned, and canse many
n plan to “gang aglee,” for which tho vast
financial resources of the road have been,
for a long time used.
We think that the “ Ring ” should be sat
isfied with the golden egg laid, with such
pleasant regularity, by this royal State
Road goose, for the benefit of its masters,
and that it wonld be snicldal to kill the
goose for the sake of getting more quickly
at its bidden ovsrions treasure, as the
foolish old woman did in tho story.
Bet Bollock go Home and Attend
his Duties.
One hrreverent fellow in tho United States
Senate, named Norton, on last Wednesday,
struck Bullock a sockdolager in the follow
ing words. We commend them to the Ex
ecutive :
"You say that there aro lawless clans in
Georgia, and that men diaobey the laws,
outrage rights of person and property, and
you bring qs official communications on the
subject from tho Governor and other State
officers, anti tell us wbat outrages are com
mitted and perpetrated there. Why is it?
It would seem to me to be a complete and
s perfect answor to say that the State offi
cers of Georgia are not there discharging
their official duties and performing the legit
imate and proper functions of their offices.
When we are told that the Ku-KIux Klan
are ravaging that State, laying wasto and
interfering with, the rights of person and
property, at the same moment—not just
now, bnt we have seen it very often—the
Governor of that Slate is here in the Senate
chamber lobbying (if I may use tho expres
sion, and I guess it is not unparliamentary,
because it is need so often in connection
with this body) and tog-rotting to kep him
self and hi* friends and his political party in
power. I do not wonder that disorder pre
vails in the State of Georgia. - Sir, let him
go home; let tho State officers go home; let
the members of the Legislature go home
where they belong, and attend to their du
ties, discharge them as'they shonld nnder
their State Constitution, and then they will
be likely to haTe order; and if they do not,
then it will be qnito time enough for them
to come to Congress and ask ns to inter
fere.”
upon the exaggerated _.
ders in the Southern SUtes; not of recent
but of more than two ytars’ date, to prove
that Georgia to-day is unfit for representa
tion In Congress. It was a gory speech,
reeking with blood! blood! AUthedead
or the South for two yeare passed, were
unearthed, and ; like Banqno, rose with
twenty mortal murders on their beads,
the victims of a dagger, in the Senator’s
mind.
The rfoqucnt speaker worked up a horri
ble shadow, that had not the excuse of pro-
cccding from the heat-oppressed brain, but
was the deliberate planning of a cold, mis
chievous judgment. He arrayed the com-
mnnities In Tennessee, Arkansas; Missis
sippi, and swnng clear around tie circle,
taking ln all the late slave States, and
charged all the murders committed within
their borders to the Ku-KIux Klan, which,
according to the Indiana Senator, inclndes
all the people of tho Southern States that
dotft belong to the Radical party.
At the conclusion of Morton’s speech he
was approached by tbc faithful of the
Radicals and congratulated. None of the
sound statesmen of the Senate were among
his admirers, for they regarded the animus
of the speech, as Senator Edmunds after
wards expressed, sad indeed.
Senator Edmunds followed In an able
argument. In which he clearly demonstra-
ted that all this struggle on the part of
Bollock and his party was not to provide
for the good or society, bat to continue
about two hundred office-holders in office,
in direct violation of the accepted Consti
tution of Georgia.
Senator Edmunds’ speech abounded
In telling points, and he handled without
gloves the man Bollock, who eat in a Sena
tor’s chair a few feet distant.
Mr. Edmonds showed that the alleged
lawlessness in Georgia is not on account of
the want of laws and physical force to sub-
doe it, but on account oi the failure to exe
cute the laws and the absence of the Exec
utive of the State (Bullock,) who, instead
of remaining at the capitol in Georgia, was
here, hundreds of miles distant from his
post of duty, indecently lobbying and hob
nobbing with Congressmen to secure legis
lation to perpetuate himself and bis min
ions in power.
Bullock took bis terrible raking down
with indifference, if an impudent stare at
his flagellator can be so interpreted, but it
was evident to a cioseobserverthatthenn-
scrnpulous schemer was cut to the quick,
and wonld have preferred to withdraw
from the gaze of an audience that approved
his punishment.
A vote was taken upon Mr. Williams’s
amendment, which was intended to defeat
the Bingham amendment, and in a rounda
bout way give the Bullock men just what
they wanted. Sumner ran here, Bullock
there, Drake sent messengers after absen
tees, and all the crew worked like Trojans
to get in their votes, bnt it was a failure.
Amidst breathless solicitude the vote was
cast, and the plotters were defeated. The
vote stood—24 yes, 25 noes. The amend
ment was lost. Bullock’s face looked like
nttcr ruin. The vote is regarded as some
thing of a test of strength upon the Bing
ham amendment.
Well Put.
Senator Ferry, a strong Republican thus
pointedly pats the effort of Gov. Bullock
to override bis own Constitution, and get
Congress to thwart the right or Georgians
to afi election in the fall:
Why, sir. two years ago the people of
Georgia chose a Legislature in great part
in accordance with the Constitution of their
State. They derived their power from that
constitution whose creation had been au
thorized by Congress. They expected, you
expected, we all expected that when the
two years’ life of the Legislature so chosen
shonld terminate, the people would resume
tiieir functions and elethe another Legisla
ture with the legislative authority of their
State by their own election. But now, sir,
when this.Legislature shall have become
dead—1 care not whether it bo legal or il
legal, whether every member of it be enti
tled to his scat or not—when it shall have
become dead and its individual members
shall have gone back to their individual
citizenship, when not one of them will
have one particle of legislative power for
the State of Georgia remaining in him, we
arc to revivify that legislative power, and
by an act of sheer authority to make a
Legislature for the State of Georgia for the
next two years. And this is Republican
doctrine in this year of our Lord 1870, and
1 am to be twitted that I will not sustain
loyal men, and that 1 side with Democrats
and rebels because I will notconsent in my
place as a Senator of the United States to
an outrage like this I
In God’s name, sir, are we now in this
day—we, the champions of the rights of
man: we who have founded our faith upon
tho Declaration of Independence—aro we
to begin again the old, miserable Lccomp-
ton schemes of iniqnity and outrage, only
changing the theater of action to Geor-

Radical Calumninators.
Special Correspondence ortbe Baltimore Gazette,
34th.l
A man named A. E. Bone will be exam
ined to-day or to-morrow in regard to Ten
nessee affairs. He represents himself as
“an ex-Confederate,” and says “ he united
with the Republican party at the close of
the war, and that, in consequence of perse
cution, he has been compelled to leave bis
home in West Tennessee and take up his
residence in Nashville.” In other words,
this fellow is playing on a small scale the
game of Holuen. and Brown, of Georgia,
and Alcorn, of Mississippi. Snch men, by
tbeir then commanding positions, carried
over thousands of their fellow-citizens to
the Southern cause, who, then wavering,
would now suffer anything short of dis
honor rather than stultify themselves by
Ignomlniously repudiatlngtheir principles
or violating their conscientious convic
tions. Of course these renegades, one and
all, are a pack of calumniators. They have
not altered their opinions at all. Whatever
ideas they may have entertained at and be
fore the breaking out of the war, they still
entertain. Necessarily they must have lied
then or now. No wonder this man. Bone,
has been compelled to leave West Tennes
see. The only marvel is that he found a
resting place in the East or anywhere
else.
District Attorneys to Receive Ex
tra Pay for Doing; their Duty.
Prom the Baltimore Gazetted
Jt Is announced by authority that among
other things which will shortly be sub
mitted to Secretary Boutwell, “ will be the
proposition to insert a clanee in the Inter
nal Revenue bill allowing United States
District Attorneys two per cent, of the
amount recovered on the bonds of default
ing officers." “This” (itis added) “will
secure the Government against all loss
from that source, and make bondsmen
more carefnl how they become sureties.”
Now what does this proposition (which, I
understand, will be acceded to by the hon
orable Secretary! amount to other than a
confession In open court that the District
Attorneys require a bribe on the part of
the Government to perform tbeir dnties
equal to the supposed amount they now re
ceive from “the other side!” But “bonds
men” need be nnder no alarm.
I venture an “opinion,” without any fee
that there is not in this broad land a single
“bondsman” of the kind in question
against whom a judgment In any honest
court corild be obtained, were the “ official ”
to abscond with every dollar in his posses
sion ! The law is positive and plain that
“Collectors of Internal Revenae” shall
make daily deposits of all their receipts,
assert npon trustworthy authority that
there never has been a single instance in
which this law has been enforced. The In
ternal Revenue Bureau has connived at
and permitted habitual dereliction in this
respect, except in cases where it suited their
political policy to corner an obnoxious of
ficer. The “bondsman” has the right to
demand this provision of the law to be en
forced as a part of bis contract, as it un
donbtediy in all cases forms a counter se
curity to the surety, and upon proof that
the Government officials have recognized
its violation, his obligation, in law and
eqnlty, is utterly destroyed
Statistics of the Confederate Army.

If the deaths from disease be added, the
sum total will present the entire loss. The
returns of the field and general hospitals
aro known for 1861-C2, and if it bo fair to
assume the total mortality of 1863 and 1864
was fully equal to that of 1862, then the
total deaths in the Confederate army in
1861-2 were at least 160,000, exclusive of
the deaths in the Northern prisons, which
would swell tho number to nearly 185,000;
and if the deaths among the discharged for
wounds and disease, and among the sick and
wounded on furlongb, bo added, tho grand
total of deaths in the Confederate army,
during the entire war, did not fall far short
of 200,000. According to this calculation,
the deaths from diseases were about three
times as numerous as those resulting from
tho casualties of battle.
Tho available Confederate force capable
of active service did not, daring the entire
war, exceed 600,000 men. Of this number
not more than 400,000 were enrolled at any
one time; and the Confederate States never
had in the field more than 200,000 men ca
pable of bearing arms at any one time, ex
clusive of sick, wounded and disabled.
Tho other business' transacted at this
meeting was the introduction by Goneral
Pillow of an amendment to the constitution,
reported as follows:

Notwithstanding the generally dreary
and long drawn-out debates npon the Geor
gia bill in the Senate, there was intense in
terest manifested la the proceedings of this
afternoon’* session. It had been heralded.
«s is usual when Senator Morton prepares
an essay, that the Indiana senator wonld
to-day deliver himself of a “ great and ex
haustive speech,” and Mr. Morton exerted
all his talent* to come up to the standard
of phrateotegy in the advertisement. Des
canting upon ahowa and showmen, a fa
miliar old English writer says. “Great
prodigies are seen os they are expected,”
and such* U the case to some extent with
Senator Morton, though he Is no mounte
bank, but really a man of great ability.
He is a dangerous politician, and bis con
ceded talents, coupled with an utter disre
gard of the Constitution and precedents of
law; his entire abandonment of all other tion under a graduate of the
plied to contracts previous to its passage.
The New York bank statement for the

PUNCHINELLO In the SENATE.
He Condenses it—Schnrz “Pans”
and Drake Quacks—The Ancient

By particular request, the Georgia bill
came up. So did Senator Schnrz. He
approved of almost all propositions which
tended to complicate questions, because the
more complication the more offices, the
more offices the more patronage, and the
more patronage the more ices. . He know it
was an alluring precedent which was offered
them in the action of the Legislature of
Georgia, retaining itself for double the
term it was elected to serve. 'Bnt it was
the duty of Congress to resist temptation.
He used the word duty advisedly. Gentle
men might sneer; but he could tell them
that the public wonld not stand the inflic
tion of snch a Senate as that which he saw
before him fora day longer than it was ob
liged to by law. By disregarding law, he
wished to know whether the laws wonld
not be greater than tho profits. - He admits
ted that this was a pnn; but appealed to
Punchinello upon tho point of the propriety
ofpuns. Reform, he would say,. was -a

Georgia Corruption Case.
In explanation of the Georgia corrup

rumored about tbe Capitol that a promi
nent Senator was offered a Georgia State
Bond if he wonld vote against the Bingham
amendment; and tbe son-in-law of another
Senator was offered a large sum of money
to influence the vote of his father-in-law
against that amendment. In both cases
the lobbyist was-sent away with a flea in
his ear, and the Senators approached in the
matter, gave the information which led to
the introduction of Mr. Edmunds’ resolu

Both Houses are in session to-night.

GENERAL MARKETS.
Chattanooga, April 16.
There has been considerable activity in
corn during the week, and nnder the influ
ences mentioned, it has gone up from 107
exports 2 hbd3,216 bbls. Week’s sales of
molasses,300 bbls; receipts, 602; exports,
163; Imported from Cuba, none.
Cincinnati, April 14.
The provision market closes very quiet
to-day, with very little done. Packers are
ottering stuff freely, at fall prices, but are
unwilling to cut under, and concessions
would certainly have to be made to effect
sales. At the beginning of tho week there
were large ordors here for bulk meats,
which have since been withdrawn, or lim
its reduced, as tbe last advance carried
stuff beyond tho views of buyers for the
present.
Bulk Meats—Shoulders held at 11, with
no demand above 10)*: a sale of 20,000 lbs.
at 11)* of a special and choice cure; no
crlterian of the market; rib, dear rib and
clear 13)*al4 l-2al5; nothing of conse
quence done.
Bulk Hams sold at 14 loose and 14)*
packed for good weights. Bulk meats are
always quoted loose.
Bacon—Quiet at ll%al2; 15)* andl6)*a
16)*; nothing doing and a pressure to sell.
There i9 a good deal of contract bacon on
the market, and it is that that is supplying
the demand; some of it is old packed.
14 Bacon Hams—Firm at 16.
Second Pickle—1C 12al6 3-4 on the spot;
none but heavy offering.
S. C. Hams—Firmer at 18 asked for light
average, and 17 1*2 -for heavy. There is
considerable discrepancy in the quotations
that the different packers give for their
brands. Good bams can be had at even
17 1-4.
Lard—Very quiet; held at 16 city, and
15 3-4 country; folly l-4al-2. Concession
would have to be made to effect sales in the
present condition of the market; prime,
steam, head and gut 1-4.
St. Louis, April 14.
The receipts of corn have again increased
somewhat in proportion to the demand,
which, however, has been sustained by an
active order trade to Southern points, and
somewhat speculative purchases and ship
ments on Eastern account. On the day
preceding our last report, prices agaiu ad
vanced, but weakened on Friday, only to
gain strength with the opening of the pres
ent week, since when the market has been
active and buoyant, closing yesterday at
prices above Tuesday’s quotations. This
demand, however, is exclusively for prime
S uaiities in bulk, and in good shipping or-
er if in sacks, the following table showing
the changes of prices dnring the week
upon offerings up to the requirements of
shippers:'

Damp and common grades have been
neglected, distillers, despite the high price
of high-wines, refusing to take hold freejy,
and the local feeding demand for such
qualities being quite light.
In provisions the feeling appears to have
settled upon a more assured basis of values
The conflicting opinion oHong crop and
short crop men have been reconciled by
the known lightness of stocks at all con-
sumlngas well as supplying points, and
the very timidity of purchasers at tho South
daring the winter months, is leading to a
reactive demand, which every day becomes
stronger as prices show a fluctuating mood
upward only; and at tbc same time holders
are materially strengthened by the light
receipt of hogs—a matter that is likely to
materially affect prices .at city packing
points, while country packers are enabled
by the prevailing ease of the money mar
kets to carry their remaining stocks with
out difficulty.
That these causes will not be sufficient
or rather, may cease to operate in tho sum.
mer months whe farmers will have more
leisure to forward their spring tightened
hogs, or country packers have held to the
verge of a new season, is probable; but
that contingency is not near enough to af
fect the prices during the next week forty
or sigty days, and a speculative feeling is
assuming a place again in the market.
Under the influences noted prices have
advanced l-2a)*o per lb. for bulk meats,
while pork has advanced from 27 60 to 29 00
per barrel, at which rate the market closed,
firm yesterday. Lard also has advanced,
chiefly from a demand for export, and
closes fully l-2c higher than at tne date of
our last review.

Cox Favors tho Art of Polygamy—
Why Moses was a Meek Man—
Hutler Turning Mercenary—A
Voice from. Utah.
The House had a little amusement over
polygamy in Utah. That institntition
shocks Mr. Ward, of New York, and natu
rally, also, Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts.
Mr. Ward was astonished to see any mem
ber standing up in defense of polygamy in
the nineteenth century. If some member
should stand up in any other century and
defend It, it would not astonish him stall.
It was sheer inhumanity to refuse to come
to the rescue of our suffering brethren in
Utah. How a man who had one wife could
consent to see fellow-creatures writhing
under the infliction of two or three each,
was what, Mr. Ward remarked, got over
him. Mr. Butler pointed out how much
money the Mormons had made.
Mr. Cox did not see why we shonld inter
fere by force to prevent a man’s marrying
as many wives as he chose. Such a man
was his own worat enemy; and his crime
carried its own punishment
Mr. Hooper, of Utah, said the bill was an
outrage. By all the wives that he held
most sacred, he felt impelled to resent it
Moses was a polygamist: hence his meek
ness. If this sort of thing was continued,
no man’s wives would be safe. His own
partners would be torn from him, and
tnrned out upon the world. He scorned to
select from among them. Tako all or
none.—Punchinello.

Koskoo.—This medicine is rapidly gain
ing the confidence of the people, and the
numerous testimonials of its virtues, giv
en by practitioners of medicine, leaves no
doubt that it is a safe and reliable remedy
for impurity of tho blood, liver disease,
etc.
The last Medical Journal contains an ar
ticle from Prof. B. 8. Newton, M. D, Pres
ident of the E. Medical College, city of
New York, that speaks in high terms of its
enrative properties, and gives a special rec
ommendation of Koskoo to the practition
ers of medicine. This is, we believe, the
first instance where such medicines have
been officially endorsed by the Faculty of
any of the medical colleges, afid reflects
great credit upon the skill of Dr. Lawrence,
its compounder, and also puts “ Koskoo” in
the van of all.othcr medicines of the pres
ent day. feb26-d&w6m
An Interview Between a Doctor and
his PATIENT.-Threc months ago Mr. James
Henry Redding, of 509 Grove street, New
York, was, as he supposed, not far from
8 door. His physician—considered f
skillful one—had given him up, prononno
ing his complaint atrophy. Ue.wis fear
fully wasted and debilitated, had a con
stant pain in his right side, ate scarcely
enough to keep a baby alive, and was much
depressed in spirits. At this juncture, a
clerk in the establishment where be had
been employed, persuaded him to try n
course of Plantation Bitters. Last week
he returned to business—bis health hein"
quite restored. Tho other day, on his way
home, he met the physician who attended
him, when the following conversation oc-
cqrrea: “ What!” said the Doctor, “is this
you?” “Even *o,” replied Mr. Redding,
quietly. “ You’re not sorry to find your
self a false prophet, I hope?” “No, no:
certainly not. But it’s a miracle. How
was it, my dear fellow9 how was it?” Mr.
R. told him the story of his recovery, (as-
crihing (t wholly to the Bitters), and is
willing to confirm it verbally or by letter
whenever applied.to.

is becoming very popular with ail classes.
As a table-dessert, it is tbe cheapest and
most delicious in the world.

Hklf.for the Miserable.-No wonder
that tho face of the dyspeptic has a drag
ged, worn, hopeless exDression that is piti
ful to see. No wonder that tho miserable
martyr to,indigestion is fretful, irritable,
and unsocial. Whoever can bear the pangs
of this tormenting complaint cheerfully,
and with an unrufiled temper, is little short
of a saint- But why should human forti
tude continue toj be thus severely tried,
when an absolute specific for the disease is
always at band. Everywhere within the
limit* of civilization in this hemisphere.
Uostetter’s Stomach Bitters is obtainable!
and the history of the first case offlyspep!
sia in which it has been administered b
vain, has yet to be written. The sickness
at the stomacii, tho sense of weakness and
stupor, tho feeling of emptiness and hollow
ness before eating, and of oppression after,
wards, the fluttering of the pulse, the in
tense nervous irritation, the morbid indis
position to exertion, the weariness of life
and indifierence to ail its pleasures, which
are among the symptoms of the disease In
its chronic form are rapidly ameliorated by
the tonic operation of this palatable vege
table restorative, which seems to renovate
and quicken alt the dormant forces of the
system, and rouse the mind from the apa
thy and gloom inseparable from a derange
ment oFtbe digestive and secretive func
tion*. In ordinary cases a few weeks suf
fice* to complete the cure, but when the
disease is complicated, as It often is. with
torpidity of the liver, severe constipation
impurity of theblood,and a sluggish cir
culation, a long time may be required. Per
