The italics are ours to show the adroitness of the
BdsTtt. lie awe a rs that be has not been the custo
dian of the books since October 1870, and that aaid
books are not now. nor hare not been at any time In

Jodge Dennis F. Hammond opended the argument
for the petitioner. He contended that the Committee
could not commit the petitioner for a contempt of
the Committee, but even if the power existed, the
•petitioner, bad discharged the contempt by his affl-
davit.
Judge Hammond read Abe petition. There were
warrants against petitioner based on this came case,
and he cannot l>c legally required to give evidence
agalnct himself. The order of the Committee was
for failing to produce the books. If petitioner nad
tied to the Committee, It waa perjury and not com
tempt. Cook waa imprisoned fora crime then. If
petitioner stole tbc money bo would not defend
him. If he was gul ty he ougat to stay in jsil
until the lice nipped his flesh off of his body !
Congress and the .Legislature had no power when
not in session.
Gen. Toomba. If you wish for your own amuse
ment to argue the question of contempt of the Leg
islature, do so. I shall bold that this (act of Decem
ber 1st, 1871,) is the law of the land.
Judge If. contended that nobody could punish for
contempt unleaa it possessed the dignity of a court.
'aaa flagrant abuts of discretion by the commit
tee.
He referred to *7th Georgia Reports, page 438;
Brfghtley's Digest, sections 8 and 4,page 192;:CooIey’a
Omstltutlonal Limitations, page 135; 6th Wheaton,
p*gett; Blvhop on Criminal Law page 308; Kent’s
Commentaries page 393; Code of Georgia, Section
8161. relative to Subpoena Dacca Tecum.
Judge Lochrane followed in one of his most grandil
oquent and effervescent efforts. Ue aaid the question
at issue was ‘'can a legislative committee incarcerate
In jail.” The order committing petitioner was
a groundless pretext. The Legislature can not
abridge the citizen of his rights, privileges, and im-
nltlta, without due process of law. If the reeoin
tlonof December 1,1871, violates tbe Constitution of
Georgia and of tbe United States It Is not law. Tbe
right of the people to appeal to the courts can not be
taken away. A refusal to appear and tes'ify or pro
duce books was a contempt of the Home and not of
tbe committee. The House could no more delegate this
power than a Judge could the sacredness of his office.
Tbe power or courts to punish for contempt la lim
ited by legislative enactment. The absolute rights of
the individual ore beyond the power of conventions,
of constitutions and committees to violate with im
punity. Thtre was no power to compel the produc
tion of books. The act does not glveany such power
to the committee. Power must exist in express
tsrma, not by implication or construction. There
was no law for the commitment; no contempt of the
committee; no law for the production of hooka and
papers. The committee could mad fog persona and
papers; but could not compel them.
Gen. Robert Toomba in appearing for the Commit
tee remarked that tbe enquiry waa a narrow one.
Toe court waa simply to enquire whether the petl-
as committed according to law. Lochrane’s
ras eloquent bnt did not apply to this case,
lie would go as far as any for legal security of per
sonal liberty. Judge Pittman waa now sitting under
the act of Charles 39th. Unlawful Imprisonment
oight to be resisted by courts, by juries, and even by
arms. If they should fail. The simple question
'Is petitioner imprisoned according to
Liberty was not license. We had suf-
ered four years under a. corrupt Legislature
forced on us by the bayonet; for three
years under a corrupt Executive foisted on ns by
false counting and fraud; and for nearly the seme
period under a corrupt Judiciary. Tbe Legislature
that paeeed this act was elected by an unfettered
people. The petitioner was only a private in the
army of rogues, spewed out by New England upon
us, who bring morality and theft with them. We had
a railroad and other property once, but It (sail stolen
and Is now all in the bands of honest men I
While the Government of the United States was
one of delegated power*, there was no trouble about
the power of the Georgia Legislature. The first
could only evc-rcloe the power delegated; the latter
could exercise all hot expressly prohibited.
The committee was granted plenary powers under
ie common law to rend far persona and papers.
(See Act, December 1st. 1871.) The law speaks to
command, «nd commands to be obeyed. Under the
old Constitution the whole military power of the
government woald be brought to the support of a
ibie In serving a warrant, if necessary, to en
force tbe law! The petitioner. In hit affidavit, don't
sircar that he d?d not have tbe hooka at tbe time of
the notice. He sw-xrs he was not not the custodian
of th- m since October, 1370. and did not have the
custody or control of them sinco the notice to pro
duce them.
The books were necessary to show what the
amount of th* bill a gainst the State Road waa. Cook
had not complied with the law.
He never raw finer examples to teach morality than
those presented by some in Atlanta who flourished
like a green bay tree. “Lo I looked for them and
they could not be found.” Where are the Kimballs,
Bollocks, etc.—they do not appear here except by

All tee Teas RotxD, and in nil parts of
the world, tbe etanenUof disease are present
in tbe air, soil and tbe water, in a greater or
less degree, and therefore tbe Great Yeveta-
ble Antidote to theae invisible enemies of
health, Hostetters Stomach Bitters, is inval
uable as a household medicine at ail seasons
in eveiy latitude. At no period of tbe year
is a regulating and corrective medicine more
needed than toward tbe close of winter, when
tbc sun and rain arc beginning to break np
tbe winter blockade, and from the softening
soil arises that terrible miasma, which weighs
like an incubos upon tbe vital machinery, and
depresses tbe animal spirits. It is then that
tbe seeds of intermittent and remittent fe
vers, of rheumatism and rheumatic gout, of
obstinate stomach complaints, of disorders
of the liver and bowels, and a whole bostof
pulmonary and nervous complaints are
sown.
Tbe best, the surest way to prevent this
disastrous seeding is to invigorate and refresh
tbe system with a coarse of tbe Bitters. It
this precaution be taken now, there will be no
danger of tbe miasmatic germs taking root in
tbe loids and tissues of tbe body, and bring
ing forth terrible fruit in tbe spring. Now u
the time for prevention. Kemtmber that
vigor is the only safeguard against tbe virns
of disease, and that Hoe teller's Bitters is the
rarest, the safest, the most powerful and per-
ect invigorant ever administered, either as
protective medicine or a remedy. A change
of season approaches which almost alwaps
proves more or less disastrous to persons of a
weak, nervous organization. Brace up at

Dead on Dying.—Where the hair is unna-
torally dry, yon may be sure that it is dying;
and unless artifically vitalized, it will soon be
as dead as leaves in November. Feed tbe
withering fibres and stimulate the torpid
scalp with Lyon’s Kathairon, and tbe evil,
which must otherwise soon culminate in
balcness. will be speedily remedied. It is
absolutely: necessary for tbe health of the
brain, that it be kept moderately moist with
a preparation capable of nourishing and in
vigorating it. Lyon’s Kathairon fulfills these
conditions, and is tbe only article that actu
ally puts new life into tbe capillary tabes,
through which tbe natural nourishment has
ceased to pass. This pure and harmless vege
table preparation is absorbed by the skin of
tbe bead to tbe roots of the bair, and passes
into the filaments by the force of capillary
attraction.

The frequent allusions, to the subject of
amnesty in the newspaper press have led us
to look a little into the subject, and we have
been surprised to sec how many of our lead

profession, are laboring under so-called po
litical disabilities. Among them we note the
following ex-judges and lawyers:
R. Toombs, A. H. Stephens, H. V. Johnson,
Chas. J. Jenkins, Linton Stephens, Wm. 'M.

This is only an imperfect list of those who

Concert.—On the evening of the 9th,
Professor C. C. Pratt, and his accompli-hed lady,
gave a concert at the West End Academy, to a large
and delighted audience. Preoccupied space pre
vents a notice, auch as the evening's entertainment
richly merited. From the programme, we must men
tion the excellent rendition of a song composed by
the Professor, It greatly delighted the audience. The

Accident.—Last Saturday night an old
in named Thomas Thompson, while att mpting to
get on the Stone Mountain accommodation train at
Decatur, fell between the passenger coach and the de
pot platform and waa cru-hed so severely as to cause
his death in about two hours. The space between the
car and the platform waa very narrow, ard ’be un
fortunate man waa turned aronnd several time# by
the motion of the train. The conductor, Mr. Toggle,
did everything In hie power to alleviate the sufferings
of Mr. Thompson, and carried him to Colonel J. C.
New'*, who carried him to his home. Thompson
lived on the farm of Dr. Durham, four miles below
Decatur, and leaves a wife and two children. No

Tho Georgia National Bank.
This bank has applied to tho Federal
Court, through Mr. Akennan and Colonel
Bleckley, for an injunction restraining tho
deputy sheriff, Captain O. 1Y. Anderson,
from retaining the bank assets, and prevent
ing tbe bank resuming its business, and
Judge Erskine has appointed Thursday, tho
15lh instant, to hear the application. Capt.
Anderson is also notified to appear at Roles
oa the first Monday in March to answer the
bank.
This will bring up the whole question of
the validity of the recent proceedings, which
have been by attachment under a special act
of the last Legislature known as Hillycr’s bill.
This very wise measure was intended
to prevent the plunderers of the State's
property from 'gettlngjaway with the plun
der. It authorizcd.the seizure ,of;the proper
ty as the first step.
The assets of tho bank ^llgtold, including
$10,COO cash, $10,000 good loans and dh-
cunnts, $15,000 doubtful, land some $S,OtO
furniture, etc., will reach .somewhere ,nei r
$125,000.
We find that there is general confidence in
the personal integrity of the cashier, Mr.
E.L. Jones, who has borne a high reputation
as a business man and Christian gentlemen,
and who has used tho powers of his hank
uniformly to the aid of the merchants of
Atlanta. iVe say this much in his fsvor ss
due to him.
Of course tho .law must decide thejgreat
questions involved, and tho Statens interest
must be protected to the last. The high
character of the counsel on both sides is a
guarantee that the case will be ably treated.
One thing we feel deeply interested in, and
that is that tho binding power of this neces-
sary attachment act of Mr. Hiliyer’s be recog
nized and enforced. It is only in this way
that the State’s property stolen can’be re*
covered.
Washington', February 8,18L2.
It is the same old story. Amnesty drag3
its slow length along in tho Senate, and in

electioneering measure received some pretty
severe knocks, which will result in its defeat
or its recommitment to-day.
MPBOYKMKNT'OF TBE CAPITOL.
A great outcry has bee* made in certain
quarters concerning the improvements now
being made in the cilv, and it is charged that
the Board of Public Works organized under
the new territorial government is a second
Tammany ring. The press jumps with avid-
ity at charges of official corruption, and these
charges have had a wide circulation. Now,
as the whole country has an interest in the
national capitol, it is perhaps as well that the
truth should be known. Foryears and years
there have been no improvements in this
city. Its streets have gone unpaved, many
of them being qniteimpassable,itssidewalks
ont of repair, and the public reservations,
designed to be ornamental, had from neglect
become quite the reverse. Congress, which
held control over the District, and especially
over tho streets and avenues of Washington,
doled out niggardly appropriations which
were quite insufficient for the purpose for
which they were given, and refused to allow
private citizens to make improvement at
their own cost. The consequence was that a
city which ought to be the nation’s boast,
which has great natural advantages, and
where genial climato makes it a most desira
ble residence, has presented a dreary, woe
begone, dilapidated look. When the negroes
began to vote matters grew worse. To con
trol this vole the officials of the existing city
governments set gangs of colored laborers to
work prior to tbeelections.onegsng undoing
what another had just done, and ail drawing
a luge per diem. Tho result waa a bankrupt
city treasury and no improvements to show
for the money expended. Any escape from
this sort of thing was felt to bo desirable, and
Congress was appealed to. and a territorial
government established. Under this govern
ment a Board of Public Works was created
to carry out improvements, and a loan of four
millions being necessary the people were ap
pealed to and sustained tho Board by a vote
of more than ten to one. Contracts were
then given out for changing grades where
necessary, for laying pavements and street
crossings and for paling the public square
and reservations in a proper condition. The
work has como to a temporary standstill,
owing to the weather, but will soon be re
commenced. Enough hss been already done
to show that Washington is to be completely
regenerated and wid yet bo one of the most
beautiful cities in the country. A very large
expenditure will be required, but this is caused
in great measure by the neglect which has
hitherto prevailed, and which has resulted in
rain and decay In every direction. The in
vestigation now pending before tho Con
gressional Committee on the District of Co
lombia will show that the work In progress is
being done at least 25 per cent, cheaper than
under the old city governments, and will re
sult in the utter discomfiture of tho old fogies

TEE WASHINGTON TQEATY.
The Queen’s sjieech, published here yester
day morning, fully sustains the editorial
declarations of tho London press with respect
to the Washington treaty. It is very clear,
as I stated in my last letter, that England
will not stand the claims of this government
for “constructive damages;” and the Queen
states in her speech that a dispatch has been
forwarded to Washington intimating as
much. This is a triumph for Se nator Sum
ner, who knows more of such matters than
the whole administration and its treaty com
missioners combined. The Senator from
Massachusetts has ooptended from tho first
that we had no right to claim “constructive
damages,” junder tho treaty, and that they
would not ho allowed by England, and he
has proved a prophet N o one need doubt
hut that England would go to war rather
than admit these preposterous claims, the
total of which reaches billions. The treaty
must now be abandoned unle-s thus govern
ment recedes from its position. This is'the
whole story in a tint-shell, though it has been
expanded into several columns of sensational
dispatches to Northern and Western papers,
which are in a great measure imaginative.
The matter is, of course, generally d scussed
here, and is regarded in various lights, a ma
jority seeming lo delight in the prospect of
the treaty being abnn(louari. A jolly fellow
at ray elbow suggests dial Minister Schcnck
and Mr. Gladstone ping a game of draw-
poker to decide the question. This would
result iu a, victory, tor our side, if rumor
speaks true concerning Sclienrk’s facility
with the pasteboards.

BY TELEGRAPH.
twenty years ago, a light streamed from the
window of an old tenement-house in Man
hattan street The room from which it came
was the dwelling-place of “Old Meg,” the
rag-picker, and her little son Willie. For
seven years she had been an inmate of the
same room, and nearly every morning, at an
early hour, she went forth in search of rags,
and her little son went to his place of em
ployment, down town.
Willie was s bright-faced, early-haired lit
tle fellow, ol some thirteen years, and was
the hope and pride of his gray-haired moth
er. “Old Meg,” (Willie’s mother) as the boys
used to call her, was about forty years old;
but her road through life being rough, and
her burdens heavy to bear, she looked much
older. Everybody in the neighborhood knew
her to be an honest, God-fearing woman.
She troubled nobody; and since her hus
band's death, some ten years before, had
worked hard to support her little son, and
let him receive as much education as possi
ble.
On the morning in question, she was np at
the usual hour, and her scanty meal was
spread for herself and Willie. The room in
which they were living was not very largo,
nor was the furniture extensive; but eveiy-
thing had the appearance of the most scru
pulous neatness. After they had been seated
at tho table a few moments, and Willie’s
mother had asked a blessing, Willie said:
“Mother, you must let me go and gather
the rags to-day. I have a holliday, and you
do not look well. I know the rounds, for,
f ou know, I used to go with you often before
went to work for Mr. Williams.”
“ My son,” said his mother, “ this is the
only holiday you have had for six months,
and I would not like to take it from
you."
“Never mind, mother; I'm young and
don’t mind work. You won’t have to go
out many more mornings, for Mr. William is
going to raise my wages soon, and then I
shall make enough to keep us without your
working.”
And the little fellow’s eyes beamed with
pleasure at the thought of his mother not
working any more.
“Well, Willie," replied Mra. Mathews,
yon may go out in my place to-day and I

Tbe War Vlond,
Tho war cloud gets no bigger. A vast
amount of very savage ink is being spilt, and
some most rancorous pens are being fiercely
brandished.
We gave our readers an idea a day or two
back of the cause of the gust of belligerence
between England and th's country. The
treaty, it seems to us, docs not warrant the
claims of the United States for “ indirect
damages.” It submits to arbitration the
Alabama claims,” and every vessel is specifi
cally included, and the “actual losses”caused
by such vessels are the matter of arbitation.
Now, how the claim for indirect damages
can come in under the strict construction of
the treaty wc are unable to see.
These indirect damages have been vari
ously estimated. Tbe destruction of vessels
is put at $17,000,000; national expenditures
in pursuit of cruisers, $7/4)0,000; enhanced
i. sjrance, $1,250,000; damages to persons,
millions upon millions; loss in the transfer
of American commercial marine to the Brit
ish flag, millions; for prolongation of the
civil war, billions.
It wQl be seen that the United States claims
enough, generally a good policy, as people
never get more than they ask iu such litiga
tion. It may possibly happen, however,
that by claiming too much, she may lose all
like the child that tried to grab too big a
handful out of the preserve jar, and in con-
seqnencc could not get the hand out until tbe
whole chance was lost.
Some pretty belligerent talk is going on in
the papas. The New York Herald is very
savage. It spoils for a fight as badly as any
body we ever heard of. Some of the English
journals are bellicose too. But there' is an
evident wariness where the responsibility
lies. A vast amount of ^diplomacy will he
consumed before they get to fighting. Three
thousand miles of water between two would-
be fighters is an excetlent cooler of hot tem
per. Then England would be quite vulnera
ble through ha Canada provinces. America
has a poor navy with which to begin a fight
with so great a naval power as England.
Altogether the prospect of blood is slim.

up to him and said:
“Are you Mr. Horace Carpenter?”
“Yes, my little fellow. What can I do for
you ?’’
''Tako this pocketbook, and see if it is

“I will go home with you,” said Mr. Car

They went out together, the rich merchant
and the rag-pickcr's son, and were soon at

time a more comfortable place was provided
for him and his mother by Mr. Carpenter.
Time passed on, and Willie was fast win

When he reached his twenty-first year he
became a partner with Mr. Carpenter in bis
