We allude to these mat (cm at thin time and in thia place because we have PEACE AT LAST. Tbe house on Monday passed with- out opposition several bills that would have aroused bitter opposition a few years ago. The fuel was a bill to re* peal the iron-clad oath. Then came a bill to repeal the flection of the revised ntaiutea'which makes participation in tbe^ate war a cause of challenge of j arors in tbe United States court. There was not a dissenting voice against the pass age of tbe last named bill, although if baa stood on the statute book aince 11162. Congress tri$d to repeal it in 11173. but in the revision of tbe stat utes it wan inadvertently re-enacted It haa however been a dead letter for yearn; for otherwise it would have beer difficult in many cases to have obtained intelligent juries. The sufiiequent lions, 821 and 822, were alai repealed by the bonne. Tbeee two nectiona exclude from the jury-box all jvbo sympathized with the south during the war, and also all who, in the judgment of the ourt, are or were in any com plicity or conspiracy to defeat the ob- ects of tbe civil lignta bill oi the en forcement acts. * The repeal of these war bills with out opposition by tbe house shows that the world does move—that the blessings of peace are about to descend upon us. Toe house has also passed a general amnesty bill, and it begins to look aa if tbe unprovoked war of the north upon the south is practically ended. The tagans and * Kilpatricks may keep up a gueril a warfare, but the once compact radical army ia go- . ing to pieces. • For fifteen years tbe republicans have practically ignored the demo crats in the composition of the senate .committees. * At the beginning of the present i there - were only three members out of nine on tbe committee on privileges ami elections. Ho with the committee on finance, and those on military affaire and post offices and post roads Of the committee on railroads lour dot- oi eleven were democrats. The judiciary committee at d that on Indian affairs had seven members each, only four of whom were democrats. These glaring inequalities have been partially remedied. Mr. Vorbees has been ad ded to tbe finance committee, and tbe demooata have an increased representstion on four other principal committees. Other changes have been made that will give the new senators, including Mr. Eostia, places. This is an improvement, but it is not of course as much aa the democrats should have, considlng their numerical strength, They can, however, afford to be patient, for daylight is just ahead. Therk is noTimit to the crookedness *oft the radical leaders in the senate. Mr. Kustis was elected in-1873 or 187-f for the term lieginning on the 4th of March, 1873, and ending on the 4th of .March, 1879. He was not elected to fill a vacancy, or for anything leas than a full term. * If he ia entitled to a seat at ail, he is, by all precedept, entitled to all the benefits of the full term. Bin rinchHkck, it seems, was permitted to ' take three years’ pay of Senator Fastis* term; hence the singular resolution of the committee on privileges and elec tions* to the effect that Mr. Euatis ia entitled to consider b’uoself a senator Jroni January 12,1876- The Chicago Turn* is responsible for tbe startling and incredible statement that "one of the conditions to the re publican consent to the admission of Knstia »* tnat he shall pair on all polit ical questions with S.nator S.iaron. *As tbe result of this arrangement, Mr. Sharon will be enabled to devote bis entire'atlertiou to the gold and silver of Opbir, while Mr. Eoatia will gain the glory and the salary which attach t j a scat in *»© senate without having much influence in tbe political affairs of the Bitwu."

T«»**Kta twlowel J moat ©agaglwa IrevS mjwrll lor h'Rbrr misplaced confidence. Let os not be misunderstood. We are mak : ng no complaints and bringing no charges against outsiders. Our own expecta tions have victimised us; our own judgment has proven recklessly and ridiculously fallible at a critical mo ment ; and it is these we would scourge with our criticisms. Wednesday last—(a roost un savory day as to weather, and oncomfortabia underfoot, if our memory has not proven faithless to her trust) -we prepared oftraelves with such facilities as we could conveniently command, to chronicle the remit of the election in progress throughout the 1 state. When all necessary arrange ment* had been completed, there was some sultory conversation between tae members of the s.aff as lo the prob. ble result. This conversation gave rise to some impromptu gue*sing,and at one : .me a mild inclination to indulge insignificant wagers was developed among the younger members, bat this inclination, as we remember, was promptly frowned down by the Editorial Presence, who gravely insisted that tbe enthusiasm of partisanship or tbe suggestions of san guine temperaments should be confined to harmless estimates. Thereupon, tbe Editorial Presence, setting the example, reir ked that Atlanta would probably temUD tbe capita! by a majority rang ing from five to to ten thousand votes- U this the yonngsr and more indiscreet members of the staff exchanged per ceptible smiles with each other, while the more thoughtful merely lifted their eyes to tbe ceiling and contented them selves with reading thereon such ims aginary majoriliea aa their fancy might conjure up. Finally some one suggest ed that thefigu ej might possibly rtach fifteen thousand. To this tbe Editorial Presence, after some deliberation, gave an assent, and there appeared to be perfect,con cord atnrmg 4 he members, until the youngest, who labors nnder the Accusation of once having contributed a lot cf verses to a college girl’a album, adjusted his lavender necktie and remarked that he would i^k his judgment on a majority of twenty-iivp thousand for Atlanta. This bold assertion created some confusion in the consultation room for a few mo ments. but, at a saqual from the Edito rial Presence, who is Intolerant of the pertness and self confidence of youth, .odious restrictions upon tbe freedom of ] “1 87Q Q —“1 QC1 the press. 0 It was with great difficulty 1 ^ ' 5=7 ° ^ that the president could be brought to arrt-pt these conditions, aod it i* hinted tbrt, after, alf his submiwnonjN mainly to the firm stand taken by the OrleaniAts, wbo have resolved not to iopport a second dissolution. Indeed, it is stated that M. d'Andrifet-Psiquier, president of the senate, has iufhrmed the marshal that he would leave his chair and take tbe tribune against such a proposal. At any rats, M. Dufanre has been given fall liberty of action in tbe formstion of a cabinet, and the probabilities*are that be will accept the presidency without the portfolio. M. Dufanre, who haa brought about these desirable results, is now in bis eightieth year and has been in the pub lic jervice for forty years. Daring the wholes! that period he has been the firm and nnwavering chumpion of par liamentary rights^nd ne was therefore qualified not only by hia wisdom and experience but by bis earnestness, to ns sditate between the president and :Le people. He wta a member of tbe cabinet when Thiers w«s president,and became p eiuier upon the resignation ef M. B-jtf-t. Upon the whole, the outlook in Franc* promises peace. 1868-1877 Our excellent contemporary the Tele graph and Mettonper, (now let us be friends. Colonel Jones,) unfier the head *of **A Serious Omission in the New Constitution,’* suggest thst Gov. Colquitt be asked to call an extra session of tbe legislature. The reason assign ed is that the old legislature, on the rat- ili -aiion* of the new constitution, is functus officio, and this being the < tf we shonld unfortunately be deprived of our govcrooi before the meeting of new legislature in November, 1878. there would be no one to fill his place and hence the state would be in an awkward predicament. The vote on tbe capital question having b’jen for Arianta, we can see no reason why there should be an extra session of the legislature. II the vote had been for removal to Milledgsville it would have b?en required. The new constitution takes effect from the da*e of ilsadop lion. As to the new features in the constitution, su:h as tbe provisions for appeals, etc., these will not go into operation notil there ia proper machin ery provided for them by the legisla tore.

TUE CAMPAIGN AGAINST ATLANTA. The campaign just closed has been very bitter one. We regret there was used in it so mnch bitterness and ill- teeling. From two cities in the state— Savannah and Macon—we received nothing hat curses from first to last. Our readers’will bear ns out in the a*. sartion that we have made no unkind attacks on these places. We have used some rough language in replying to the venomous, spiteful and slander ous assaults on our city, but the cir* cnmstances fully justified us. far from doing our ci^* any harm these attacks liave !>een of great service our canse. Not a day passes *hi.t we receive lettets congiatulating us on our fight for Atlanta, and in many of them we are told that the assaults on onr city from* Savannah and Macon liave been of material service and are no credit to those‘who ecgtged therein. Unjust abn^e generally recoils. Attacks prompted alone by envy and hatred will always result, as in this case, to the benefit of the party attacked.

In proof of this. wFeall attention to the fact that the election was quiet to an unequalled degree. Tbete waa no drunkenness, no disor der. no riotli g, oo uproar, or diffraction.
