Under his report Bullock sent a mes-ag-' favoring the compromise which was made l*v the r*egislatnw, who took $35,000 and registered a bid of $100,000, ollcrcd bj* (vttaiu citizens of Atlanta.

The purchase of the “Era” was the crowning'outrage of this sort of thing. 'Hi*' committee report Bullock the real owner of the piper, and do not doubt that he bought it with ti e Slate’s money. Blalock, the bus iness manager, understood from Dr. Bard, who sold, that Bullock was the real owner, llullock gave directions about its manage ment, retaining employees, raising salaries < ie. The paper was forced on the State Road employees, who were discharged if they did not take it The Stale Road was Wed to support the paper. State patronage was poured upon it to a criminal extent. Bullock and Kimball I»orrowed for the State and themselves $3,334,267. There is still due of this $71/2,654 50. The Fourth National D.uik of New York advanced $1^35^563 39 for cou)Km* and expenses. The committee n-port against [laying $^15,003 Vj Fulton Dank of Brooklyn on $50,000 currency bonds, loaned to Kim- led! ; against $75,000 to Kuascil Rage, loaned $ i'V\000 cnrrency by Sage to John Rice for Kimlxill. Bullock tried to subsidize the lawyers as well as the press. He paid fees to tlic sum of $49,361 75. He paid bis uncle, R. II. Brown, over $7,000. Large fees were paid in c.* * s in which the State h id no in terest. The committee nxotnim nd suits to recover the money illegally paid.

Some of the Governor’s staff had ;i pardon brokerage. Pardoning before convic tion w as a favorite practice. Pardon for po litical fealty was much oo docket. Bullock sinned br'iud gauge in this particular. Tin: management of the penitentiary under IliilltHrk was a wholesale syslcin of sleala^a <^«*bm(*l Walton, Chief Keejier, Posted, hi* rr iu law. Clay, Eugene Walton, Wills—nil are prov(;ix to have stolen Penitentiary prop- <tly. The record is shameful. Bullock’s at tention was called to the matter, but he did *t interfere. Bacon, shoes, wagons, oxen, wliiyky, etc., walked into tue pockets of its •Ulcers. Grant, Alexander A Co. paid Hul- iNirt $5,000 to o*e his influence with Bullock to let them have the convicts. The commit tee conclude that LUdlock sliorcd in the plun- ler. It n-comiuirri'ls that stc|»s be taken to git ku k the stolen property. Bullock’s con nectioa with the Stale Road i*t attended to l»y another cr»iuiuiUee. This (rMumilii c sati-fied itself that llullock was in the frauds. Tlic committee looked very little into the State Road lease »| pcs lion, and exiwess no (•pinion. llullock indorsed Ixmds for the Brunswick id Albany i util road, the Carters ville and Van Wert Railroad, and Culhbert, Il.iiu- fH-iiigc nnd Columlius Railroad with full knowledge tli.it the roads were not completed to w arrant the indorsement, aud he li^l rc- l*eatcdly afterwards to help the sale.of these i ijeg.dly indorsed bonds..

Goo. P.’ Burnett is satisfied flint Bullock paid his Washington expenses out State road. The committee touches on Bullock’s gen eral extravagance. Bullock sent through the Express Company North $V>33,000 in 1 mnds. He paid the Express Company $6*535 freights. lie paid the Telegraph Company $22297. He paid $^00 to hull a dozen [tapers in Georgia to publish his Stnte’s-rigbts letter to Senator Scott. He paid John L. Conley ^11,500 for his unneces sary Analysis of the Constitution. The cost of the Analysis was $i$24. lie paid the Atlanta lulciligencur $2,00J to publish the dieisions in the White case; tlic publica tion Iwing unauthorized, and an iufriugement of tlic Supreme Court reporter’s rights. He jHiiil by draft $:>2,900 to minority members of the Legislature in?t died by force for lime they never served, and that others served and got pay for. The committee recommend suits to get Iliiw money back. Hut it would lx? an endless job to re-count all the things against llullock. The commit tee present a powerful and unanswerable indie.: mmt against him. If he failed to do any GulN«rnaU>rial wrong it was because he laeknl the rhance.

Judge Linton Stephens* <£ai« deeiderio titpador aatmodas Tam aui espitie i In oar private grief for our friend it is difBcnU to realize the extent of the public losa which has befallen Georgia in tlic death of this her distinguished and trusted son. Nor can its proportions he fully appreciated till wc get further from it Aa one who feels it deeply, in both its public and private aspects, I am constrained, in advance of this fall realization, to pay the [mrtial tribute called for at once by affection :uid admiration. If the portraiture be at all life-like, it will receive many a response from saddened hearts throughout the length and breadth of the 8late. Three great qualities fitted him for emi nent public usefulness: great Capacity,Hon esty and Fidelity. These qualities inspired tbeir proper counterpart in others and gave lath, (what was no less necessaiy), the entire, deserved and familiar Confidence of the peo- [4e of his native Stale. His capacity was great, not onl3' of thought, extending over a very wiile range, but also of expression, and that not limited to thinkers only, Ifce liimself, but embracing tliccommon mind as well. lie did not live and reason apart from other men, bat was one of their number— in accord with their modes and habits—understood them, and conveyed his own thoughts to th(?m in strong, vigorous Anglo Saxon, like Bullion, with a plain stamp. His honest, w:is not less great and varied than his Intellectual endowment-'. It per vaded his public and private life, his heart, head and longue. lie was an honest seeker at er truth. Falsehood in all. its forms lie detested and despised. He loved the truth in his heart. His intellectual appetite craved truth as its proper nutriment, and his tongue was equally candid and sincere. He was, in fact, just what he seemed to be. Such qualities justly commanded the pub lic confidence, resting on a strong foundation of tried merit. That slow growth had be come, after long and varied tests, deeply rooted and vigorous iu tlie public mind, aud it met no checks or drawbacks on bis part; for he was honest with liimself, and his gold lud been first tried in the fire, for his own use before Ii was offered for currency among others. And so lie was a bnlwarkof Public virtue. Dishonesty shrank from his presence; for it he had little tolerance. Honesty rested fear lessly upon his strong championship, and felt safe in hr* bauds. __ powerful intellect of cxtraordinaiy breadth and scope, yet as acute ns it was comprehensive—capable of vig orous action npon* subtle and delicate points—a grasp of subject, per fectly vire like—a .nervous, direct energy of expression, which cut through all vapors— were at his command. These facilities equal ly fitted him for the investigation of law or Lict. A clear, general view or the entire 4ul»jcct, in all its relations, and in its just proportions, enabled Mnl lo systematize his llioujriits and adjust-himself to a case with wonderful rapidity. • He never rested in ip- vcstigatioiuill he touched; bottom, and from |4l|c rAclr oui**found lie could hardly be dis lodged by :uiy lurw of; ophfetry. If he had any difficulty,It was in his hearers, iti thttr want of discrimination to jx:rceiVe real, not fanciful distinctions. Bat this veiy infirmi- fheorporated in his scheme of present ing his case, bo that he could show nice points even to dull eyes. Uutjt was after nil the honest heart behind alj thi*—of which tbo intellect and will were the mere executive officers and agents— which secured the public confidence, that with all these faculties he would do good and not harm: that he was not only not easily deceived himself, but would not willingly deceive others. Of his powers in that direc tion we cannot speak, for they were not put to the test The warmth and sincerity of his personal friendships explains something of the grief, as well as sense of puhlic loss, which his death lias occasioned. Ills public and private character were all of a piece. Only, in his private intercourse there was incomparably more of tenderness and marked kindness, than the severely logiciul character of his intellect would have led those to suppose who only knew him in argument Not com paratively alone, but positively, he was con siderate uud kind in an eminent degree in his intcrciMirse with others, and never gave wilful or intentional offense to any honest man, to uuy dull man, to the weak or the helpless. AH these traits were big, plain and distinct —no mistake about them, nor about the man. Aud the jK'oplc knew that they understood him. lie had l»ccn tc- led till they were satis fied. lie had been been weighed in the balance again and again, under very varying condi tions, and not found wanting. We do not mean that lie was without faults, for he was a man. But they were not secret or disguised. He wore no musk, aud his faults were belter known than their palliations and his strug gles against them. Suffice it to say, they were not those of a selfish nature. Let none judge of them harshly—only sorrowfully— lor they injured himself more th:in others, and deceived no one. His death occurred in his full intellectual prime. Ilis sun went down at the high noon of his faculties. They were very remarka ble, and very reliable. He was grown in a gnat school, accustomed to emergencies, fall of resources, and ready with them, a trained intellectual Athlete, belonging to him- sels. llis self-reliance was great and well Atlanta, Ga., July *24,1873. A meeting of the delegates fr*>m the Thirty- Fourth Senatorial District, comprising the counties of Gwinnett, DcKalb and Hcmy, was held this day iu the National Hotel for the purpt**? of nominating a ccudid&te for Senator. On motion, C. T. Zachary, of Henry was called to the chair and Tyler M. Peeples, of Gwinnett, was elected Secretary. T. M. Peoples then read the proceedings of a meeting held in GwinacU on the 20th inst. printing Ooloael Samuel J. Winn os the choice of Gwinnett county for Senator, to succeed the lion. Milton A. Candler. Col. Robert A. Alston then offered the fol lowing resolution: Resolved, That this Convention ratify the nomination tendered by the county of Gwin nett, and recommend to the Deraocn the several counties of this Penatoria’ trict, Cid. Samuel J. Winn as the Democratic candidate fot Senator, which motion earned unanimously. It was farther resolved, That the Secretary fnnr.'h Tns Atlanta Constitution and Gwinnett Herald with a copy of the proceed ings of this meeting, with the request that they be published. C. T. Zachry, Chairman. Tyler M. Peetles, secretary. liia bearers. Few men bad so thorough possession of their own faculties. As a Judge his decisions were founded on Principle, not authority. He made authority— le was authority—for he found a solid lwsis ever before lie liegan to build. His decisions needed little bolstering. They could stand alone. But he exemplified a most rare combina tion of gifts, being great, not only as a Judge, but as an Advocate, before Court or jury, or on the Hustings, in cases civil or criminal, .upon questions of law or fact, in the pre paration or at the trial, or in the examination of witnesses. Indeed, n measured estimate of his fac ilities would be regarded extravagant. Such power did n high intellect acquire under the guidance of honesty. He grappled with great problems with a singular mixture of abstract mid practical power, of subtlety and common sense, in liis [H*rceptions of truth; and,strange to say, where he went himself iro* the very heart of these problems, be was usually able to carry others along willi him. This brief notice would be incomplete if I failed to say he was a firm believer in Chris tianity. I remember the marked emphasis with which he once expressed this conviction, with that characteristic clearness and bold- new which admitted of no misconception, in the words,. **I believe 'Christ is Gon.” His farther remark was, substantially, that with this great intervention of Deity, all lesser and ancillary miracles, introducing the Chris tian system to mankind, followed on proper evidence, as matters of course. As his manner was, the great, huge fact stood out first, unmistakable, and its qual ifications and modes were super-added after wards. The public loss is indeed great, the gap left, wide and yawning. Such capacities, so handled, lost at any time to any State, would be a calamity. By Georgia, and just now, it is peculiarly felt. And yet, to say farewell GEOBGIA LEGISLATURE. SENATE.

He moved tlie adoption of the report and the previous question. Tlic Speaker ruled that tlie gentleman could not make two motions at once. Mr. Itunter, of Brooks, supported the mo tion of Mr. Johnson, of Spalding, to have 200 copies printed for tlie use of the House, etc., maintaining that the members should have more time to consider so important a bill. He further sta’ed that the fact that the con vention would meet to-morrow prepared to nominate electors was of no force, for at the last meeting of the State Democratic Execu tive Committee they determined that the nomination of Congressmen for the State at large would be provisional and conditional; Unit if tho Legislature redistricted the State the nominations wonld be withdrawn to allow the districts to make their own nominations.

Washihgtos, July 23.—The President leaves Washington again to-morrow night The Cabinet today had -notiung of public consequence before ft, and business was soon over with. All the members were present excepting Delano, who ia en route from North Carolina. The July report of agriculture is now ready. The report* of com represent 989 counties, usually producing seven hundred millious of bushels annually, and indicate an increase of three per cent. This is equivalent to more than three-quarters of a million of acres, anil a total area in this great crop of the countiy which nearly equals in extent the aggregate of all other tilled crone together, is probably about thirty-five million acres. Tho Statca in which an increase of acreage is reported art I ax follows: New ' Jersey 2 per cent.; PenhsylVatnaS; Snnth Carolina2; Georgia 1; Alabama 3; Mississippi 1; Louisiana 8; Texas 8; Arkansas!; West Virginia3; Kentucky Ohio 2; Michigan 10; Indiana 1; Illinois „ Iowa 1; Missouri 4; Kansas 28; No braskaSO; California 1. A diminution ap- icare in Mai no of 4 per cent; Vermont 3; . itaasachusclla 4; Rhode Island 5; Connecti cut 0; New York I; North Carolina 2; Ten nessee 1; Wisconsin 4; Jlinncsota 3. Tho area in the remaining States ia reported tlic same as last year. Of tho reports from 989 counties, 203 place tlic condition above 100; 413 place the condition below 100. Illinois is represented by 65 counties, of whicli 23 stand above the average and 23 below. Of 54 counties in Missouri the condition of corn is above the average in sixteen and below in 25. Of thirty-six in Kansas 8 only send figures less than 100. In Iowa, where cool cloudy weather generally prevailed in tbc spring, followed by changeable weather, and in some sections heavy rains, only two reports of condition are above 100; and in Ohio, where tho drought has been severe, bnt 3 reports out of 45 have given figure higher than one hundred. The States making returns higher than one hundred are Vermont, 101; North Carolina, 101; Ala bama, 110 ;Mississippi, 110; Louisiana, 110; Texas, 110; Kentucky, 103; California, 101. The following returns of the condition below average: Maine, 98; New Hampshire, 98; Massachusetts, 98! Rhode Island,03; Con necticut, 98; New York, 95; New Jersey, 96; Pennsylvania, 98; Delaware, 93; Maryland, 92; Virginia, 94; Sooth Carolina, 96; Geor gia, 94; Florida, 78; Arkansas, 95; West Vir ginia, 95; Ohio, 90; Michigan, 90; Indiana, 95; Illinois, 09; Wisconsin, 80; Minnesota, 95; Iowa,88; Jlissouri, 92; Kansas,98;Ne braska, 97; Oregon,97. Tennessee ia placed at 100. Wheat—improvement in the condition of wheat is reported from New York, Mary land, Virginia, Michigan, Missouri, Kansas, and ton slight degree some other States, while a small decline is reported in Ohio and in some of the Southern State*. Tho avenges in the winter wheat States stand at follows: Connecticut 91, New York 78, New Jersey 69, Pennsylvania 69, Delaware 75, Jfarylahd 57, Virginia 99, North Carolina 113, South Carolina 103, Georgia 102, Alabama 110, Mississippi 108, Texas 145, Arkansas 106, Tennessee 105, West Virginia 95, Kentucky 112, Ohio 75, Indiana 83, JUssouri 66. Of the States producing almost exclusively spring wheat, are Maine 108, New Hamp shire 103, Vermont 104, Wisconsin 101. Jlinncsota 110, Iowa 103. Nebraska 113, Oregon 95, California, which is not fully re ported, 120 for early sown. 113 for late Kan sas, spring 95, winter 00, Illinois spring 104, winter 95, Jliclrigan spring 98. winter 8L The average condition for the United States is almost exactly the same as in June, or 91, six per cent, less than the average. Tho quality of the grain is uniformly superior In the Middle States and in Ohio, Jlichigut and Missori and wherever Inferior condition is reported. The straw is short, bnt the heads are generally long and well filled, the kernel plump and heavy. The quality of solid old wheat will probably prove as fine as any ever produced in that section. In threshing the fulness of the heads, In propor tion to the quantity of straw, causes the yield to exceed the expectation, and may go far to offset the small decrease in the re ported condition. It Is quite probable that the general excellency of the grain will make tho present crop of equal value to that of last year. There has .been almost an entire exemption from rust and comparatively little complaint of insects. Tho hessian fly is reported in several ilaccs—more numerously in tho Ohio Val- cy—and the chinch bug lias caused losses in many counties of Illinois, Iowa and Jlis- souri. WAsmsoTow, D.
