The Legislature, In fUapproprlatton act for 1863, voted 92,000 as the salary of the Attorney General. Governor Bullock ve toed this particular section.

That Money Well Earned. In looking over the Radical Organ of yesterday, we find that it is made np, in general, from Forney’s Chronicle. It is due, perhaps to Forney to admit the natural conclusion that the large suras of money paid him by Bullock were well earned, in view of tbe fact that he runs i ings under Mr. H. I. Kimball’s contract, the Radical Organ of Atlanta in addition to the Washington Chronicle and Philadel phia Press We had the pleasure of a call, this morn ing. from Mr. J. C. Kimball. He is a brother of Messrs. H. I. Kimball and E. N. Kimball.and bas permanently selected At lanta as bis home.

The undersigned begs to inform his friends ir. different parts of the State, who ore members of the State Agricultural So ciety, that self-respect requires a with drawal of his name as a candidate for the office of Secretary of that Society. C. W. Howard. Governor Bollock’s organ thanks us for giving an example of his abuse of tbe par doning power. Wc are so much flattered that we give another for tho uso of the committee. In April, I860, ono John Long killed Abraham B. Echols, of Gordon county, a most estimable citizen. ’ Of this terrible crime, Radical Judge McCay, of the Supreme Court of Georgia, in announcing tbe decision of tho Court refusing a new trial, used the following strong languagevide Part 2, Volume 38 Georgia Reports, p. 511. Long vs. the Stale: “This wa3 a plain case of murder— WICKED, RECKLESS, CAUSELESS MURDER— AND THE PROOF IS POSITIVE AND DIRECT. If ever a Jury tots right this one mas. Mer cy, in such a case, would be cruelty to so ciety. Violence and homicides have too long been the reproach of our State; and whilst wo wonld always insist on a strict adherence to tbe law, yet we have no fancy for refinements, to clutch from his merited fate one so lost to all care for hu man life as Is exhibited by the facts of th is record. Too many crimes remain in this State unpunished—too many criminals go unpunished of justice—until our brother’s blood erics out, as did Abel’s. Human life—peaceful human life—needs for its protection that the laws against murder shall be enforced, and wc cannot, for Blight causes,! delay the march of punitive jus tice.” Judge McCay rebuking Governor Bul lock Is a good, a wholesome—yea, a unique and novel spectacle. It is fully worth that $25,000 of Tub Constitution’s exchequer that tho Executive is so ferociously af ter. Wc see that Nero Williams, one of the Brodbaker murderers, pardoned by Gov ernor Bullock, has been sentenced to 20 years in the Penitentiary for rape on a lit tle colored girl. Thank U3 again, Monsieur Organ! 23F We admire the pluck and spirit of The Atlanta Constitution, which has recently been sudd for libel by the “ Hon.” Rufus B. Bullock, Governor of Georgia, who lays his damages at $25,000. The Constitution refuses to he butted from the I .k by the rash animal, and continues to • charge hot shot, cunnistcr, musket balls, piibbs,and a pro Rubious fitsiRide of till sorts of miosllcs, at its vulnerable flanks. Lynchburg licpublican. Democracy In Georgia. The Atlanta Intelligencer, in alluding to the Reform movement going on in South Carolina, says: “In Georgia the party (Democratic) is in being, but not as in days of yore when It presented a united front. There are now Bryant Democrats, Caldwell Democrats, Alpcoria Democrats, who would declare to the great mass of the party the policy it should pursue, thus distracting it, and preventing that unity which is essential to success. We look, however, for tbe near approach of that period when the Demo cratic party in Georgia will present a solid front, having lopped off all such excres- ences.” And we would simply suggest in addi tion that the Georgia Democracy may im prove their “front” by “loppingoff” the Bullock and Blodgett Democrats who ap pear still to claim fellowship with their or ganization.—Savannah Bepublican. Spirit of the Press on the Bullock Corruptions. Wood!mil & Ckallin’s Weekly We have received tho second number of this Now York Weekly, published by Vic toria C. Woodhull and Tennic C. Chaflin. It is a new organ of the woman enfran chisement movement, makes an exceed ingly handsome appearance, and appears to be edited with spirit and ability. AS one of the “signs of the times,” it is re markable. The Baltimore Gazette vs. Bullock. The following scathing and touching edi torial appears in the Baltimore Gazette, of the 21st. For directness and total disre gard of the Bullock “Bull” recently pub lished about prospective and infinite $25,000 libel suits, etc., it fairly takes tbe wind out of the sails of the most gallant of Southern man-of-war journals. With bated breath, wc watch the result of this contest between the Gladiator of the Monumental City and the Bullock of the Empire State, but we are nevertheless willing to stake our $25,000 (reserved libel fund) upon the Baltimore Gladiator, and risk the chances. Should we lose the stake, what a nice little $50,000 sugar plum our industrious and meritori ous King B. would fall heir to 1 Resignation of Governor Bard, of Idaho. $14,580 ( 0 It will thus be seen that Governor Bul lock used the veto power to pay Ids parti san appointee $1,425 more than tho Legis lature appropriated; and further, that he cither appointed an incompetent official, or else lias squandered $11,530 of the State’s money for legal services that the Attorney General should have done. The committee should look into the mat ter and see what services have been per formed for the State for that extra $1,425 paid the Attorney General, and what was the necessity for the expenditure of the S14AS0 paid to outside counsel to do the Attorney General’s work. We give Governor Bard’s resignation as Governor of Idaho, accepted to take effect from Junccth. The cx-Govcrnor will resume journalism in Atlanta, and we hear it rumored that his paper will be dubbed tho “ True Era,” and will join the ranks against the Bullock Ring, though he will still light for General Grant and Republicanism. Dr. Bard deals in a sharp sort of writing, whose point Governor Bullock has felt heretofore, and wc confess to some curios ity to see these old antagonists pitted against each other once more. The fur will be certain to lly, and we do not doubt that the State will be benefltted by the en counter : Metropolitan Washington, Governor Bullock’s Kcply to the Judiciary Committee. In our Evening Edition we gave some extracts from tills document. Wc have now the whole in the Washington Citron icle of Monday. According to the prices disclosed by Forney’s books, this concern nml Korney’s editorial encomium upon it cost his Georgia Excellency about $330. Rufus will want 1,000 copies for distribu tion. Tills will cost $450 more. Then tho telegraphic synopsis sent to tho organ here ran up to $69 probably. Tho re-publiea- tion in tho organ of tho whole affair, and extra copies of the organ, will make addi tional expense. The wholo will make quite a neat item for the Governor, who don’t pay any tax in Georgia, and has been a de faulter for bis poll tax. The reply smacks wonderfully of For ney—written in liis own peculiar style. Tiffs passage, in particular, has Forney in it, though tho Slander Mill could have had n hand in it: There is no newspaper published which eo much attracts to itself the affectionate regard of the loyal masses in the South as the Washington Chronicle. Its Arm ad herence to Republican principles; its ex posure of the political treachery of Andre w Johnson; its masterly support of the arti cles of Impeachment against him; its man »y maintenance of Southern Republicans ■•gainst rebel slanders; its hearty support of out State organizations against the at tacks of our opponents under various dis guises claiming to.be Republican, Conser vative Republican, etc- has given to it an influence In the South which no other newspaper in the country can wield. Ono paragraph is noticeable. Speaking of the committee's reproof of his conduct, and Mr. Ferry’s plain talk about him, he says: Were these the production of Democrats, neither my voice nor my pen would be raised to notice them; coming from Re publican sources, they are worthy of notice. Does he ignore Democratic charges be cause he can’t answer them ? He Identities the Republican party with tiiineelf, end deplores Republican assualt upon him for this reason. Very ingenious, but hardly logical- He has more to say about the way Con gress came to look into the bribery, than the resultol tlic investigation, and he seems luoTO exercised that there was an investi gation than anything else. The idea run ning through the letter, is that his claim of advancing Southern Radicalism should shut the door to all inquiring into his acts. He is particularly heavy on Ms sacrifices for Radicalism, and uses the following pa thetic sentences: Whatever else may happen to me. I shall leave the office of Governor of Georgia -with clean hands; and without having per formed any act for which my children or •my friends shall have occasion to blush, but with my private fortune greatly dimin ished by the heavy expenses to which I am subjected to sustain myself and tbe doyal men of Georgia. To His Excellency, the President: Sir: The political condition of Georgia is still unsettled and unsatisfactory. I hoped and expected, ere this, it would have been otherwise. As it is not, I deem it a duty which I owe to the people of Georgia to resume my profession as a journalist in the city of Atlahta. I have the honor, therefore, to hand your Excellency this, ray resignation as Governor of the Terri tory of Idaho, to take cflcct from tho fifth dav of June, 1870. - With great respect, 1 am, Mr. President, Your friend andfcllow-citizcn, A true copy. Sam. Bard. an Hotel, ) gton, D. C.. > May 20,1870 ) Governor Bullock and tho Public Funds—No. 1). The following section occurs in the Ap propriation Act of the 19th of March, I860 “And the sum of $1,800 each to tho Sec retaries of the Executive Department not exceeding two, for the year 1S69; and that neither of said Secretaries shall receive ANY COMPENSATION FOR EXTRA SERVICES; and that his Excellency, the Governor, be authorized to employ such additional as sistance in the Executive Department as he may deem necessary at any time, not to exceed one; and that ho draw his warrant on tho Treasury to pay for the same out of nny money not otherwise appropriated: Provided, said clerk shall not be enti tled TO MORE TUAN ONE HUNDRED AND riFTY DOLLARS PER MONTH.” Comptroller Bell’s report shows that this law has been violated by Governor Bullock, Tbis “one clerk,” H.J.G. Williams, lias not only drawn a regular salary of $150 per month for the year—making $l,SOOpcr annum—but on the 10th of August, 1S69, Governor Bullock, illegally, gave tbis same U. J. G. Williams a warrant, “/or extra ser vices,” for $350, thus running up Williams’ salary to the unauthorized amount of $220 per month. The breach of law by Governor Bullock is plain, and wc call the committee’s atten tion to it. This act further absolutely prohibits Governor Bullock from employing more than one clerk, and it being the last act was paramount; yet be, in defiance of the prohibition, has kept five more “extra clerks in his department,” under pretext of the 72d section of the Code, at a cost to the State of $750 a month,- or $9,000 a year. Thus docs he pension his favorites. And the people pay for it. Thus the Gazette of the 21st instant, says: Bullock, styling himself Governor of the State, or Territory, or District of Georgia, lias, as the public knows, been a great deal in Washington during tho winter en deavoring to secure a perpetuation of his own |iower and that of the corrupt and subservient Legislature there witli which he is in league. Congress was open to conviction, and took steps inactive of its perfect willingness to reconstruct Georgia, although the latter had been reconstructed by that body once before. But somehow or other there has been a hitch in the business. Bullock can not get his projects put into actual opera tion. He has worked hard, and his agents have been equally active. People have been puzzling themselves to know why the Georgia affair was not settled ono way or another long ago. It looks now as if we were getting towards a solution of the mys tery. Tills man Bullock, and those most closely associated with him, have never been connected with anything but some small business or other in their lives. Consequently they are men of rather con- tractcu ideas, especially about pecuniary matters. With them a little money has al ways gone a great way. Morever, the at mosphere of Washington is new, and the habits and ways of the place are strange to them. Tliereiore they went pottering about, offering a thousand dollars apiece for Senatorial votes. The committee ap pointed to investigate the rumors which were afloat iu reference to their proceed ings reported on Thursday that a man nam ed Porter had offered to give a thousand dollars lor the vote of Senator Carpenter, and that one Gibbs liad informed a nepliew of Senator Tipton that he would give a thousand dollars ratlu-r than see that Sena tor vote wrong. D. C. Forney, of the Chron icle, admitted having received from Bul lock three or four thousand dollars, which he got, however, strictly in the way of business. He produced his accounts, and several practical printers testified that they were “exorbitant,” Other developments were made, proving that Bullock and his gang were using money for corrupt pur poses. No doubt, in his lamentable igno- ranceof the manner in which public affairs are now conducted, he thought lie was doing the right thing. But lie knew not, this poor carpet-bagger, that lie was in a place where Senators and Representatives from a few thousands a year accumulate hundreds of thousands in a single session of Congress; that he was dealing with legislators who bad constantly before their eyes heavy land grants, enormous divi dends of railroad stock and large shares In Indian and other contracts; that he was. therefore, among men who despised the dav of small things. Had not Wliittemore been shortly before expelled the House on account of peddling cadetships ? But not withstanding the contempt which Con gress had manifested more than once for such picayune operators, Bullock lias kept on dangling about the lobby with his paltry one thousand dollar railroad bonds. The man had, by Congressional favor and in defiance of right, or law, or common decency, been made almost tiic absolute ruler over the people of Georgia. His principles were of the largest order, and his opportunities for stealing were un bounded. But be had no better sense, after a fair trial, than to approach his benefac tors with only one thousand dollars apiece. They were naturally disgusted, and have justly and indignantly exposed him. Having vindicated themselves upon tbis point, they will now probably send the knave back to govern Georgia. Governor Bullock Fires. A column special telegram to his organ from Governor Bullock in Washington gives the substance of bis letter to Con gressmen in reply to the damaging report of the Bribery Committee: He puts the onus of the investigation on Josh Hill, and pitches into Hill’s record. He concludes with the following party ap peal. We wonder what Forney got for writing it? “Iam opposed to what is known as the Bingham Amendment or any proviso sub stantially like it, because it seeks to deny to tbe Republican party in Georgia the fruits of the political victory they* have achieved after the terrible heats of the past two years of contest; because it seeks to restrain the full effect of the liberal execution of the re construction acts in such a manner as to promote the interests and wishes of the very men and the very party who have persistently, and by every conceivable means and measures, sought to defeat these acts; because its adoption will bo a rebuke to, and will destroy the Republican organ ization which has maintained these acts, and supported the administration and the party in our State; and because any at tempt to hold an election there for mem bers of the General Assembly before those who have been already elected have en joyed their constitutional term of two vears as a State in the Union under the new Constitution, will result in the utter aban donment by them and by the party of any further attempt to uphold and maintain the policy which a Republican Congress has inaugurated and which it would tlius be shown a Republican CoDgress has aban doned.- “ 1 will not deny that this result would bring peace to Georgia. But it would be the peace of death. Republican principles would be abandoned forever, and the 106,- 000 loyal men who voted for and carried the Convention, and the Constitution, wonld be heard from no more. There Is no ‘amnesty ’ with rebels in Georgia who have dared to be Republicans, and to sustain measures which enfranchised the black man. There is no‘relief from disability,’ except in death, in submission,or in flight. •• Gentlemen tbe issue is beforeyou; your friends ask for the prompt admission of the State of Georgia on terms similar to those which were adopted for Virginia, Mississippi and Texas. The conditions re quired to those States have been performed by us. Under this action by Congress we will, during tbe time for legislation which is prescribed in the new Constitution for the General Assembly, give full force and effect to the great and living principles of universal freedom engrafted upon our new Constitution by securing the privileges of free education and of a free ballot to all citizens. Deny this to us, withhold it from us, and neither of these results will follow, but the responsibility for the sacrifice of the reputation, the lives, and the property of the men who have been destroyed for daring to uphold your measures, the re sponsibility for the utter destruction of republicanism in Georgia will bo with yourselves and not with us. ” with ours, and he will not hesitate to sup- i Gibbs wanted Senator Tipton to wait un port us with his vote. Another will cry | til Morton made his great speech, that he Death of W. H. McLarin. The State Agricultural Fair. Tbe Albany News, of tlie 24th instant, makes the following excellent editorial re marks concerning our State Agricultural Fair, and pays a just and well-merited compliment to our esteemed follow-citi- zen, H. 1. Kimball, Esq.: This Fair is a State institution, and it should bo the pride and pleasure of every true son of the soil to contribute Ills quota of brain and physical labor toward giving it character ami making it a success. The prejudices that exist in some localities against the place where it is to he hold should not be encouraged to tbe detriment of the Fair. Atlanta is a great city, and she belongs to Georgia; and however much wc may abuse and coudemn the plunder ing rings that have centered there, the mass of her citizens are Georgians and as true to the Commonwealth and her inter ests as the bitterest reviler among her enemies. The grounds are to be prepared under the immediate supervision of Mr. H. I. Kim ball, whose contract with the City Council of Atlanta requires vast expenditure, and structures of ample magnitude for the accommodation of the Nation’s industrial representatives. By the contract he be comes the lessee of the grounds and buildings for six years, from the first day of January, 1871, at tbe annual rent of $12,- 000. Thus, he is so far personally inter ested in the preparation of the grounds, and the character of the buildings to bo erected, as to be impelled by higher in ducements and loftier aims than the hand ling of the $75,000 paid him by the city; and those who know him well enough to rightly appreciate his cultivated taste in architectural development, his great energy in the execution of his designs, and bis vigorous ambition for successful achieve ments in useful and enduring works, will want no higher security for the success of the enterprise. We confidently predict that it will be the best conducted Fair, and the grandest ex hibition of the products of art, skilled la bor and inventive genius ever witnessed in this Southern country. The Philadelphia Age, of the 21st, thus comments editorially, upon the result of the Senate Judiciary Committee’s iuvesti- gr.-'on into the Bullock corruption case: Yesterday, the Press, of this city, apolo gized to its readers for the scantiness of its Washington news. This our contemporary ascribed to “ tbe pressure on its columns oi the two ecclesiastical conventions now sit ting.’’ But this sudden preference for things not of this world was helped, per- hapt, by a desire to withhold from its read ers the report, which The A ge and other pa pers «gave of the Judiciary Committee.on the- Georgia case. Our readers will re- metnber how sedulously we have tried to puMlio true character of that matter before the public. Nor were our efl'orts, we will hope, wholly ineffectual. In the House ana in the Senate, the Democrats, rein forced by all the honest men among their opponents, refused to erect Governor Bul lock and the scoundrels’of whom he is tbe chief, into a little permanent aristocracy to govern and fleece the people of that State without any elections I The amend- ai.cn’' which declared that there should be cSS-lions in Georgia was offered in the a-)*'e by Mr. Bingham. How the Radical pr..^ raged against this is not forgotten. Trie very cardinal principle on which American institutions rest was assailed, and the Radical who ventured to maintain ic was assailed as untrue to bis party! But the; Judiciary Committee exhibits the meaits and appliances with which the aid of venal pens and venal votes was bought by the Georgia conspirators. We are quite ablo-pow to appreciate the abuse with which certain Radical papers have teemed against Bingham, and Ferry, and other Radical members who are not really to saririficc every feeling of decency and honor in the interest of a crew of plun derers who lavish their spoils upon their supporters. We trust that the l'ress will intermit Its devotion to the religious con ventions just long enough to give its read ers the report of the Judiciary Committee, in which Bullock, D.C. Forney and the Washington Chronicle figure together in corrupt attempts to defeat “the Bingham Amendment,” and secure the triumph of a gang of plotters whose aim, in Georgia, may be expressed in the words of Falstaff, “Kob^ne,the Exchequer!” The Chicago Times, 21st, In reference to th e-same matter, says: If the State Government of Georgia be a provisional one, and entirely under the control of Congress, it is reasonable to sup pose that Governor Bullock, or any officer of tha; Government, may be held directly uccoui.tabte to Congress for his official ac tion. The Times then refers to the report of the case as embodied in the report of the Invest'gating Committee, and says: These are the facts on which Senator Trumbull reports that “ improper influen ces were brought to bear to influence the votes of Senators.” Thus, it appears that tho bribery of a newspaper and of lobby ists—to- whom do the lobbyists pay part of their money?—to control votes in Con gress, on a bill denounced by Republican members, is an “improper influence.” This is what Senator Trumbull deems such action tp bo. is he not charitable in deal ing with Bullock, and tho scandalous facts which the investigation has broitgbt to light? The report docs not say whether Sena tors were influenced by the “ improper in fluences” which Bullock brought to bear, but, from the fact that a bill has passed the Senate continuing Georgia iu servitude to the man who bribed Forney and the lob byists, it may he inferred that Forney and the lobbyists knew how to bring “ improp er intliion.-es ” to bear so as to make them effective. Had “ improper influences” any thing to do with the fanaticism of Drake, and the venom of. Morton, and the dema- gogism of Howard, and the ga;Cou3 orato ry of Stewart, in the debate on the Georgia bill? There is evidence that this man Bullock has been guilty of theft from the, treasury of tlie State. Such is the direct testimony of the State Treasurer, backed by proofs over Bullock’s own signature. There is good reason to believe that the money witii which he bribed Forney and the lob byists to bring “improper influences” to bear on the Scuate was stolen from the Treasury of the State. If Georgia be a irovisional government, why does not Jongress hold Bullock to answer for his crimes? Instead of this, the Senate ex tends and strengthens liis power. This shows the detestation with which the up- ier branch of Congress regards •• improper Influences,” and the lower branch is equal ly virtuous. out against negro supremacy; but the man who does it casts a slur upon the intelli gence of the white race. . Who is there who is not willing to take his chances witli the colored man ? Are we afraid he will become more cpllglitened and intelligent than we, and hence look upon us as his inferiors, or, in other words, attain a su premacy over us? No; we have no such fears, and the sooner we cease agitating that question the better it will be for the Democratic party. Why keep up an eternal strife and con tention over dead issues and fixed facts to our utter ruin ? We live in an age of pro gress, and we must conform to the pro gressive ideas of the day. Then I say the Democratic party can never succeed until it abandons its old ante helium platform, in part if not in toto, and erect a new and sound one with living principles that will conform to the new order of things, upon which all the good men of the country, both white and black, can stand. Then we may expect to elect wise and good men to might get facts. He thought it was intend ed to use money; was sure of it.

I have just finished reading the evidence, so far as printed, (only the testimony of Bullock is wanting,) before the Senate Ju diciary Committee, in relation to tbe opera tions here of the Bullock lobby. It fully warrants the report submitted yesterday by Messrs. Trumbull, Edmunds, Conkling, Sherman and Carpenter. Indeed, they might with propriety have used even stronger language than they saw fit to employ. The evidence and the report fully sus tains all that has been said through the S ress of the operations of the Bullock- lodgott ring here. No one believed that money had actually been paid any Senator for his vote against the Bingham Amend ment, but that money was tendered and efforts were made to influence votes is fully proven. Messrs. Stewart and Rice dissent from tlie majority report when ic censures Bul lock. That was to be expected. Of course Bullock did not himself offer money to Sen ators. He is too shrewd for that. But he was the one to be benefltted by the defeat of the Bingham Amendment; and that the lobbyists were acting with his knowledge, if not by his authority, there can be no doubt whatever. One Porter, who was to have received $10,000 in bonds from one of the Averys for his services in influencing the vote of Senator Carpenter, aqd others, admits that be had oue or more conversa tions on the subject, with one or-both ot tbe Averys, in Bullock’s room at Willard’s Hotel, aud in Willard’s presence. I subjoin a synopsis of the evidence: ApiulIO—Jas. Hughes, lawyer, testified: Was called on bv Lewis Porter, assistant postmaster of Washington, who wished me to influence the vote of Senator Carpen ter on the Bingham Amendment, He said there was $10,000 in railroad bonds, endors ed l>y the State of Georgia, to be “put up,” which we could divide between us. Hughes communicated the fact to Joshua Hill, and acting on his advice, kept one or more ap pointments witli Porter. Hughes also saw Carpenter and told hiia i&e. -.yho*; story.

A Nice Dodge.—We invite the attention of our Atlanta cotemporaries to a nice dodge that Harris is playing on the com mittee appointed to investigate the affairs of tlie State Road. We have received information from a re liable source, that a number of super numerary employees have been granted furloughs pending the investigation, so that Harris may swear that such men are not at present employed on the read.

Mr. McLarin had been in feeble health for some time, but had become convales cent and yesterday morning he expressed a wish to visit his mill, situated about four miles north of Fairburn; whereupon Mr. W. B. Swann, one of our citizens, volun teered to carry him in a buggy. Having arrived safely at the mill, they took a bat- teau ride up the pond, and on their return to the mil), they retired to a small bouse near the mill to rest—Mr. McLarin resting upon a Tude cot put there for the use of tlie miller. Beneath the pillow of the cot was a large loaded navy pistol. Mr. Swann, not suspecting anything wrong with Mr. McLarin. stepped out of the house, and had got a short distance from it, when be heard ttc report of the pistol, and hastening back to the house found Mr. McLarin lying up on the cot in the agony of death, having shot himseif through the heart. He never spoke. The cause of tbis rash act is un known. He leaves an interesting family, and was respected and beloved by all who knew him.

A correspondent of the Tallahassee Flor idian. writing from Albany, Georgia, says Railroad matters are progressing rapidly here. The Brunswick and Albany Road, under tbe superintendence of Col. E.

From there the road runs to Meridian, Mis sissippi, and is known as the Brunswick and Vicksburg road, though it is not yet completed. The road from Meridian to Vicksburg is already built, and the tilling up of a short gap between the latter place and Shreveport, Louisiana, completes the line to Marshall, Texas.

Editors Constitution: By your permis sion I will present, through the columns of your paper, a thought or two for tho con sideration of tlie good men of all par ties. I do not wish to create any discord in the Democratic ranks, but I have become thor oughly convinced that the Democratic par ty can never again hope to hold the reins of power as long as it stands upon its old ante helium platform; and the only hope of the country being rescued from its present perilous position is in the conservative ele ment of the country. Some of the princi ples advocated by the Republican party are not objectionable, yet some are bad and very dangerous. Extremes, in any direction, are danger ous. The Democratic party goes iuto ex tremes in one direction, and tho Republi can party goes into extremes in tho op posite direction. There is a middle ground between those two extremes, where all the good men of tlie country, regardless of party or color, can and should unite and save the nation from disgrace and ruin. It is perfect folly, and worse than foliy—it is suicidal for the Democratic party to con tend for the dead issues the war has forever settled. By so doing it has driven thou sands of good men from the party, and if persisted in will eventually destroy it. I have always believed in the principles of Democracy, and I still, believe in those principles that are still living, but discard those that are dead, for no good can ever result from agitating them again. The doctrine of States’ rights and of slavery, to maintain whicli the South separated from the North and re sorted to arms, is dead. The war decided those questions, and the decision stands firmer than any that can be rendered by the highest judicial authority in the land. The war has brought about a change in govermental affairs, to a great extent, and that change is final, because there Is no appeal from It. And it behooves the Democratic party, not only to discard those questions that have been settled by the war, but to conform more fully iu its views to tlie new order of things. Negro suffrage is a fixed fact, and why contend about that ? What harm can come of it any way ? I say none, and that is tlie conclusion every unprejudiced mind must come to. It gives us more represen tation in C J ! * advantage say. so am I. But this is one of the truits of the war. Tlie time will come, how- Lewis I’orter examined—Denied all knowledge of efl’orts to influence votes of Senators. Ilad had conversations with Avery twice; knew no one else from Geor gia. (Witness flatly contradicted the evi dence of Hughes, and prevaricated to such an extent as to put him in a very bad light, considering lie was under oath.) Finally, he admitted he did have an appointment with Hughes to see Carpenter. He wanted to employ Hughes as an attorney in the matter. (This, after much cross-question ing.) Had offered a fee of So,000; did not recollect In what funds; expected to get money from I*. J. Avery. Avery came to his office—the Washington l’ost-office— had also seen him at Willard’s; saw him a dozen times. Hughes was to render all the aid he could in defeating the Bingham Amendment for $5,000; had a list of Sena tors. (Witness here contradicted himself many times.) Saw Bullock and tlie Averys together. After being subpoenaed had talk ed with 1*. J. Avery, who didn’t want the matter to come.out; consulted a lawyer as to whether he would be obliged to answer the questions of the committee, II. J. Ram-bell, newspaper correspon dent, evidence not material. Ai’RiL 20.—W. L. Avery, sworn—Never had any conversation with Porter in rela tion to the Georgia bill; had talked with him of Georgia matters since this investi gation: have received $750,000 in bonds from tlie State of Georgia for the Bruns wick and Albany Kaiirond, and $100 (100 for the Cartersviile and Van Wert Rail road. The latter lot of bonds, it appears, were sent here to Bullock to sign, and lie told Avcrv that he had sent them to Henry Clous" & Co., New York, at the same time inquiring of Avery whether sufficient work had t•ecu done on tlie. road to entitle the company to that amount. This struck tlie committee as being rather a loose Way of doiii** business! Avery didn't know whether tlie $100,000 in bonds had been re ceived in New York or not. He said all the bonds received for the Brunswick and Albany road were in Europe; the only bonds received for the Carter3ville and Van Wert road was the lot mentioned; he had talked with several Senators and had introduced Rice; would have used any amount of money he could to defeat tlie Bingham Amendment. Avery’s state ments about his meeting and talking with Porter were decidedly “ fishy.” P. J. Avery sworn—Went to see Porter tlie day after tlie Georgia bill passed the House to get liis assistance. Had gone to citizens of Wisconsin to see what influence could be brought to bear on their Senator. Did not recollect anything about the $10,000 ; did s«y ic was wortii that to have the Bingham Amendment out. of the Geor gia bilt.

The witness was ordered to go and get his books. He went, and was gone some time, and returned without them, asking leave to bring a lawyer with him. After much talk lie went away again, and re turned with the journal of the Chronicle establishment. The examination was con tinued at great length; the witness pre varicating and contradicting himelf. He said he understood he was requested to bring the journal only, when asked for the other books. The entries in the journal had been altered in one or two places. One hundred pamphlets at $500 had been alter ed to 2,000 pamphlets. Five thousand copies of the paper at $2 59 had been al tered from 590 copies. Bullock’s remarks before the Judiciary Committee were paid for at tlie rate of 25 cents a line.

Various employees of the Chronicle were examined; one of whom testified that the regular daily edition of the Chronicle is thirty-live hundred copies. Forney made it some fifteen thousand. Messrs. Bailey, of tlie Globe, Mustaugh, of the Republican, and Polkingham, a practical printer of long experience, testi fied to the excessive charges of the Cliron icic. George A. Bailey was ono of the propri etors of the Globe; said Governor Bullock had subscribed to various speeches pub lished in the Globe office, a detailed ac count being given of several thousand copies of different speeches furnished and extra Globes subscribed for, the whole bill being $505.03. Tlie various pamphlets printed at the Chronicle office were shown the witness, and he stated that the 60-page pamphlet for which the Chronicle charged $450 for 1,000 copies could be furnished for $120; the 2,000 pamphlets of March 2, charged for bv the Chronicle $600. could be furnished for$125;the pamphlets charged by the Ciirohlific March iu, l.ouO copies for $220, and April 4, 1,000 extra,' $115, could bo furnished, the first thousand at $45, and tlie second thousand at $25. The Chroni cle supplement of April 18, containing speeches of Morton, Breman, Pool and Hamilton of Texas, could be set up for $100, and $20 per thousand for the press work and paper. The following is a synopsis of the testi mony of Governor Bullock: Governor Bullock testified that while in Washington, in February, March and April. 1870, he had used $14,500; of this sum $4.00S 75 had gone to the Chronicle ofliee; $505 90 to the Globe oflicc; $1,400 was advanced by him to colored members of the Georgia Legislature to pay their ex penses in Washington, and the rest was spent by him for his private affairs in mat ters having no connection witli legislation; the money paid to tlie Chronicle was on bills presented, which lie produced; he made no agreement about prices or charg ing tilings, but paid the bills as presented, without questioning them or inquiring into them; this money was all his private funds; in regard to influencing Senators, the only proposition made was by one George D. Chapman.who represented that certain par ties wanted to buy the Georgia State Rail road to make a connection from St. Louis to Hilton Head, and deeired to get a Legis lature in that interest, and with that view wisiied to have an election this fall; Chap man told him that Senator Pomeroy was “thc-ir man,” and would do what this “rin; ” wanted. The Hon. S- C. Pomeroy, on having the testimony of Governor Bullock read to him. stated that he did not know Chapman, except from the fact of having been intro duced to him by a friend; when under standing he was from Georgia, had a talk of a few minutes about the condition of affairs there; never heard or knew of the “ring” referred to; never was under the influence of Chapman in any way; under stood from Governor Bullock that there would he no objectiou to an election in Georgia this fall if there could be protec tion to all citizens, and hence had offered his amendment. WHAT THE NEW YORK PAPERS SAY. 1'rom llic N. Y. Herald (Editorial).] The Georgia Investigating Committee have made a report which discloses most infamous attempts on the part of Governor Bullock and others interested in the pas sage of the stringent Georgia bill to influ ence legislation. The intention to bribe Senators Carpenter and Tipton was fairly developed, but the parties called Upon by Governor Bullock’s adherents to do the dirty work refused to approach those Sen ators for any such purpose. The result of the investigation puts the Senate in a high position as contrasted with tlie result of the cadet-selling investigation in the House, and it remains to be seen if Gen eral Butler, whose committee is trying to tack the Bullock clause to the bill, will proceed further in that business. FROM THE WORLD (EDITORIAL.) Some time since the Judiciary Commit tee was instructed to investigate the truth of the charges of bribery and corruption that were freely made against certain Radi cal Senators in the matter of the Georgia bill. Tfie committee yesterday made its report, from which it appears that the lob byists were busily concerned in “influen cing” the vote on the question, and that the trooly foil Governor Bullock was es pecially active in drawing cheeks on the Editors Constitution—Dear Sirs: In compliance with a promise made Mr. Hemphill, 1 now address myself to the pleasing duty of sending you a few pen- drops from the great and prosperous State of Texas. I need not burthen your columns with the details of my trip, and the many old army friends in the “ Lost Cause,” with whom I uetand passeilafcw brief moments in my transit hither. Yet, I must be permit ted to speak of the honor did me by that distinguished soldier, General Hardee, who called upou me in Selma, Alabama, and bestowed upou me the kindest attentions. Our interview was brief, hut sufficiently protracted to call up in conversation many a day of heroic daring, privation and suf fering through which the undaunted sons of the South bad passed in their vain struggle for independence. During my short stay in Selma, I colled at the office of the Times, whose editors, learning that 1 was representing The Con stitution, gave me a most cordial wel come, extending to me all those courtesies and amenities which are characteristic of the educated and polished gentleman. They have “hung their banner on tho outer walls” of Conservative Democracy, and inspired with the assurances that “ thrice armed is he who hath his qnarrels just,” are doing yeoman service in the cause of right. I found the farming interests of tbe conntry (through which I passed gener ally inja healthy condition, and crops are looking well. From New Orleans to Galveston, I camo by what is known as tho Morgan interior line, being'oighty miles by rail to Bra- ■ shear City, and thence by steamer to tho Island City of Galveston. Morgan is un questionably a monopolist of collossal pro portions. For a Quarter of a century ho has been filling hlscoffers by fleecing Tex as and Louisiana. Passengers by this lino must submit to being driven on board the steamer like flocks of sheep; each one com pelled to produce a ticket purchased at the office In New Orleans, thereby establishing the fact that they have actually paid to the ticket agent eighteen dollars for twen ty-three hours’ ride on the Morgan line. In my travels through this State, I find that the citizens of Texas are almost a unit in the bitterest denunciations agaiast this huge monopoly. The immense wealth of Morgan ranks him at once a formidable foe in commer cial and all financial circles, and It would result in certain insolvency to any compe titor to enter the list against him, who could not couut his gold by the millions. And strange to say, the press, with few ex ceptions, is silent upon this subject. Galveston, which is the Gulf terminus of the Texas-Central Railroad, is a flour ishing city, and is destined to become a place of no ordinary note. Your readers have already seen an account of the activo measures now in progress for the improve ment of harbor facilities at that port, and I need not allude to them. Texas is unquestionably a very superior and desirable country; her agricultural resources and advantages, in many parts of the State, tival the most fertile and pro ductive regious of this continent. Tho Brazos River lands stand pre-eminent in fertility to any In tlie State, producing from one to two bales of cotton, and from forty to eighty bushels ot com per acre, and these enormous yields are produced under a system of cultivation which is ab solutely absurd, establishing the fact con clusively that these results could be very materially enhanced by a thorough prepa ration and proper cultivation of the soil. There is a general spirit jiervading this State to develop its slumbering resources. However Radical the State may be, yet that body is almost a unit on the questiou of building railroads; and, though Gov ernor Davis’ message is highly objectiona ble, as far as his recommendations, of the militia is concerned, yet, in the main, it is a statesmanlike docu ment, and entitles Us author to take rank among the most practical men of the age. His railroad policy meets with gen eral favor. And in view of the fact that preview Legislature* have burthened tho Statute books of tho State with useless charters for the construction of roads that were, perhaps, never intended to be built, his recommendation of tlie chartering of one grand trunk road from Red river to the Rio Grande, with well guarded State aid, gladdens the great popular heart of Texas, and creates a thrill ot general joy. I have just returned from Austin, where I met General Barnes, who represents a com pany, whose combined capital is amply sufficient to construct a half dozen roads across the continent. This distinguished gentleman and able financier, whose very name is a synonym of high purposes and incorruptible honesty, is now asking the Legislature for a charter in harmony with the" views forshadowed in the Executive message. _ . , , When I left tlie Capital a few days ago, his most sanguine hopes seemed on the point of realization; and if there were’any opposed to tho measure, their voices were too feeble to attract attention. General Barnes proposes to connect with the Cairo and Fulton"Road, now in rapid progress of ' to cross Texas in a south- construction, and to < western direction to some navigable point on the Itio Grande. This has been rather a dry spring until recently; yet crops are in a growing con dition, and tlio line rains that have fallen within tho last two weeks have imparted an additional freshness and verdure to the whole vegetable kingdom. This place, (Marlin) the county site of Falls county, is a very pretty little, town on tho line ol the Wat “ " aco Tap Road, and three miles from tlie Brazos river. The al luvial bottom soil adjacent hereto is of the highest order of fertility. The town and adjacent country supports one paper, “ The Falls County Pioneer,” a spirited sheet decidedly conservative in its tendency. But lest I should weary your readers, I will close for the present. Yours, truly, T. B. C. Fact.
