Prom the Constitution, 19th Dec., 1871. IN MEMORIAM. It was our mournful pleasure, on Sabbath after noon, to be present among those who had assembled to pay a last tribute of respect to the remains of Frank K Brown. Seldom have we seen so largo a concourse of sym pathizing friends gathered to attest, with tears, their heartfelt sorrow and condolence for the family, in their extraordinary affliction. The knowledge of his extreme illness and inevita ble dissolution, robbed the painful announcement of surprise to his many friends, but does not mitigate the genuine sorrow felt by ad who knew him inti mately. Companionable, interesting, wonderful in mind, and afllictcd from early youth, he had been regarded with peculiar tenderness and devotion by his family and friends, and most naturally do they bow with grief to the severe dispensation. We feel warranted in saying that, intellectually, he had no superior in one of his age. Never did Genius shine brighter in one so young. He found his highest pleasure in literature, and was happiest when pouriug over the various leading journals of the country. Iu the midst of these he did not for get the great interest of his soul’s salvation, but gave sufficient proof of his preparation for the chauge. Among the hut hours of his life he quoted beautiful sacred verses, which were typical of his resignation to meet his Maker. His last illness was attended with much suffering, which lasted till 7 o’clock on Saturday evening, llith inst., when his spirit winged its flight to the God who gave it, and the sufferer was at rest. A large assemblage met the remains at the Second Baptist Church at 3 o'clock, on Sabbath afternoon, and after a fitting and touching requiem by the choir, the man of God led in a solemn and appro priate service. A long procession followed to the Cemetery where was deposited all that was mortal of Franklin Pierce Brown. E. It was with feelings of deep grief for the departed, and the profonudest sym pathy for the near and dear ones he left behind, that we received, through the papers, the sad tidings of the premature end of the earthly career of him, to whose memory the foregoing tribute is devoted. We knew him from the time that he had scarcely attained the fourth year of his age, and, even, then, recognized in him genius of the most extraordinary character. He was, indeed, an intel lectual prodigy. In conversing with him, when under ten years of age, one was reminded of all that has beeu said of Safford, the boy Mathematician and As tronomer, though the superior talents Of “little Frank” lay not in that line. He was an observer of men and things, and, at twelve, evinced an insight ipto character almost intuitive, and a matu rity, as well as correctness, of judgment upon public affairs, equaled by hat few of the ablest men of the land. Being severely afflicted with spinal disease, he never at tended school in his life; and yet his chief relief from pain and suffering was in reading. Newspapers and Books were his resort. His education was cherished charge of one of the fondest and most devoted of mothers, as well as one of the best of women, with whom it has been our fortune ever _ to meet. This loss of her “darling boy” is, per haps, the severest dispensation of Provi- Below. we give the third installment, and the last, of the list of the acts passed by tlie General Assembly np to the time of its adjournment last Friday night.

We feel sure, however^ that there is not the slightest estrange ment between the President and Mr. Akerman, and that the latter has now, as heretofore, the full confidence of the for mer.” Nothing but the high reputation for the strictest veracity which is enjoyed by the Chronicle, could induce the public to believe that the above is correct. There is not a doubt that Akerman was cordially invited to resign and eased out of the office very willingly. Mr. Stephens, when he writes radical misrule, uses a capital R and a capital M. When he writes true Demo crat, however, he uses a small t in true, aud contents himself with a big D for Democrat. Are we to infer from this that Mr. Stephens is not a True Demo crat ? This ifc the last joke of the Courier- Journal, and has been just three weeks in course of preparation. It is very com pact, which accounts for its heaviness. Probably, if Mr. Stephens were to apply the term “true Democrat” to the Courier- Joumial, he would not only use a small t and a small d, but would give special in structions to have both words “set up” in type too small to be read, except with a five hundred horse-power magnifying glass. For the first time since the war, Georgia is represented in the National Senate Chamber by a man of her own choosing. Hon. Thomas M. Norwood, was selected by men who represent the political and social condition of Geor gia, and, being thus entitled, the Senate, without the ’most flagrant - injustice, could not have done otherwise than al low him to take his seat. But one other thing is now needed to give the State back into the hands of its own people, and that is the inauguration of Hon. James M. Smith, as Governor. This will be done, at the appointed time, and, in defiance of many j redictions to the con trary, Mr. Conley will quietly submit to the will of the people, as clearly ex pressed through a due course of legal legislation, and as clearly indorsed at the- ballot box. It is hardly possible that he. will attempt to wrangle, to hold on to the position into which accident and ras cality threw him, against the will of the vast majority of the people of the State. When Mr. Williams had received the appointment, and was confirmed as- Attorney-General, he was serenaded by some of his friends.
