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 Ua power, custody, or control since the notice to pro. dace t'em waa aenred upon him. 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 irL They are fleeing in vain from the wrath to .

God is not slack as H upper was the next order of business, and the matter waa not laid on the table, but taken op and divenvaed with great earnestness.

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.

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. feblS—deodlwAwlt Benevolent Concerts.—Mr. Pratt and his highly accomplished lady will give three of their delightful entertainments in this city, beginning to morrow night On Monday night they will give a concert at the Central Presbyterian Church.

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 ing men in Georgia, especially of the legal 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. Reese, Augustus Reese, Wm. Hope Hull, Iverson L.

This is only an imperfect list of those who are disqualified by the 14th amendment from' holding office, yet it will serve to show how greatly the number, from which Judges for the Supreme and Superior Courts are to bo selected, has been narrowed down by the un wise action of the dominant party. 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 ••Curly Headed Boy,” waa most acceptably acted and •ung.

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.

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.

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 who instigated It 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.

The New Orleans Picayune haa been pur chased for $100,00J by an Associations of two hundred merchants and citizens of that place. As the gray dawn of a November day was breaking over the city of New York, some 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 ASSOCIATED PRESS' DISPATCHES Washington, February 11.—Forney has resigned tho Philadelphia Collcctorship.

By noon, Willie had nearly filled his bag, and was on his way homeward. As he was Kissing a milliner}’ store, he saw some scraps ying by the Bide of the curb, which had been swept from the shop, and setting his bag ~ had down, he began to gather them up. lie them nearly all picked up and put in a cap preparatory to putting them in his bag, when something lying close to the sidewalk attract ed his attention.

Not for a long time has there been so suc cessful an engagement in Washington as that of the lady whose name head this paragraph, icing on Monday week she has filled 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.

He soon reached home, and setting his bag down by the door, fairly flew up tho staira, threw open the door, rushed into his mother’s presence, and exclaimed: “O, mother, I’ve found a fortune!” And without waiting for his mother to speak, lie pulled out the pocketbook aud com menced lo count the money. “Fourteen hundred dollars!” he exclaimed, when he counted the roll of bank-bills. “Isn’t that a fortune, mother!” “Where did you get it; Willie?” said his mother quietly. “I found it among some rags in front of a millinery store,” answered Willie, looking nt the pocket book. “Bjit here’s n name, mother” he continued, as he raised the fly leaf. “It is ‘Horace Carpenter, No. , Broadway.’ But he must be rich and will not mis3 it, and we need it so badly.” ' lint, my son, it would be stealing to keep ‘Ilonrsty is the best policy,’ so you had belter lake it to its owner, and if Ue docs not reward yon, God will."
