At a meeting of the stockholders Of the
Mobile and Qirard Railroad Company, held
in Columbus on Saturday last, as we learn
from the Columbus Sun, the proposition of
the Central Railroad Company to provide
the means on certain conditions to build the
bridge over the Chattahoochee River, make
the connection with the Muscogee Road and
lay down the track to the end of the grading,
thus extending the road to the Orion Road

that the joint resolution which deprives

THE RATIFICATION MEETING LAST
NIGHT.
In onr local column will be found a full
account of tbe immense moss meeting held
last night to ratify the platform and nomina
tions of tbe National Democratic Conven
tion. The demonstration, in which all
classes of our people, old and young, with
many of onr colored citizens, participated,
was a most surprising and enthusiastic ex
pression of the hearty approval of the sonnd
constitutional principles promulgated by the
Convention, and of the nominees of the
party for President and Vice-President.
The meeting in Court House square was
without exception the largest political gather
ing we have ever seen in Savannah, and the
earnest attention and hearty response which
was given to the patriotic and eloquent ad
dresses of Dr. Arnold, Gen. Lawton, Gen.
Jackson, Mr. Norwood, Capt. Mercer, Mr.
Thomas and Mr. Mosely gave assurance of
the reviving hope and the deep interest which
our citizens feel in the success of the De
mocracy in the present contest for the resto
ration of the Constitution and tbe preserva
tion of a free Republican Government, now
so iminently imperiled by Radical misrule
and usurpation,
Crops, «Sfc.
A gentleman of large experience in plant
ing, who recently removed from Black
Swamp, Beaufort District, S. C., to Missouri,
writes back to a frienfi, under date of the
29th insl., and speaks of the crops as appears
in the following extract:
“From Augusta, Ga., to the Mississippi
River, the crops are very backward. A
drought of six weeks is prevailing. Some of
the crops look promising notwithstanding,
bnt a great deal very poor. Have seen no
cotton to equal yonrs and Mr. B.’s since I
left.”
A special dispatch of the 13th instant from
Washington to the New Orleans .Picayune,
states that our Government has concluded a
treaty with Mexico, by which the latter agrees
to cede to the United States Sisoioa* and So
nora- —j — ’’ '

by electing Ihe notorious Bradley lo that po
sition, and -thus defeat ihe aspirations
either Brown or Blodget. The editor pro
poses to the Democrats that they “at once
make terms with tbe negro element in the
Legislature, and agree to send Aaron Al-
peoria Bradley to the embraces of his friend
brother and patron, Charles Snmner. It
will be an easy and legitimate way of getting
rid of the pestilent creature, and will pat to
a test, which they desire to avoid, the sin
cerity of the Radical leaders. Alpy Brad
ley, clothed in the Senatorial toga, would be
a constant and powerful political argument
in the coming campaign, and tbe defeat of
Joseph Brown and other aspirants in this
way, would strike a harder and more effec-
tual Blow at Radicalism in the South, than it
has yet received or is likely to receive from
any quarter. So far from there being any
abandonment of principles or imposing ot
disgrace in elocting Bradley, we can assure
the Democratic members of the Legislature,
that if they can, in this way, defeat Brown
and his co-spirators, and secure tbe election
of one gentleman, an honest man, they will
have achieved a work which will shortly
commend itself to tbe unanimous endorse
ment, of their constituents.”
Democratic vs. Republican Nominations.
—Some of tb« partisan journals appear to
think their readers have no sense, and it is
only necessary to abuse the candidates of
their opponents. The New York Commer
cial (Republican) thinks differently, and
says: “Governor Seymouris notto be beaton
by being called a copperhead, or Frank
Blair to be distanced in the race because he
is called a revolutionist. Ridicule Seymour
as some Republican journals may, he is the
most popular man in the Democratic party.”
The President proceeds to argue that while
the people of the Southern States were not
in rebellion, some of the people of the
Northern Stales were in rebellion, and that
tbe pretext for exclnsion applies equally to
New York and Virginia. The message con
cludes: . ,
“If Congress were to provide by law thaft,
the votes of none of the States should be re
ceived and counted if cast for a candidate
who differed in political sentiment with a
majority of the two Houses, such legislation
would at once be condemned by the country
as an unconstitutional and revolutionary
usurpation of power.
“It would, however, be exceedingly difficult
to find in the Constitution any more authori
ty lor the passage of tbe joint resolution un
der consideration than for any enactment
looking directly to the rejection of all votes
not in accordance with the political prefer
ences of a majority of Congress. No power
exists in tbe Constitution authorizing the
joint resolution on tbe proposed law, the
only difference being that one would be more
palpably unconstitutional and revolutionary
than the other. Both would rest npon the
Radical error that Congress bas the power
to prescribe terms and conditions to the rigbt
of the people of the States to cast their votes
for President and Vice-President.
Senate—The rights naturalized citizens
abroad were discussed all day, interrupted
only by the reading of the veto and passage
of the Electoral College bill, notwithstand
ing, by a vote of 45 to 8, all the Southern
Senators, except Pool, who was absent, vot
ing with tbe majority.
The Senate tben went into Execative ses

Notwithstanding the' sweeping victory the

latter, and be (M.) was informed by General
Sickles himself that in tbe Federal army
Bowen acted so badly that he had to be in

tence, but he would not reward treason
ma"kiDg these Deople rulers as soon as they
came back. He donbted much whether the
House was pursuing a proper policy in this
matter.
The Electoral College bill was passed by
134 to 36, and the House adjourned,
Mr Seward addresses a letter to whom it
may concern stating that Congress in Jane,
1866, passed a resolution proposing an
amendment known as the Fourteenth Article,
whicttlie quotes. Mr. Seward states that
the act 1818, requires the Secretary of State
to publish tbe amendments when' adopted,
bat no act authorizes the Secretary to deter
mine and decide donbtfnl questions as to
tbe authenticity of any {organization of State
Legislatures or the power of any State Leg
islature to recall its previous ratification.
Twenty-three States have ratified the Amend
ment, and also bodies avowing themselves
legislatures of Texas, North Carolina, Flor
ida, Louisiana, Sontb Carolina and Alabama.
It appears farther that Ohio and New Jersey
have withdrawn the assent. The efficacy of
this withdrawal is doubtful.- The whole
number of States are thirty-seven. He then
proclaims the amendment adopted, provided
that the original resolutions of Ohio and
New Jersey are valid notwithstanding their
withdrawal.
The President has signed tbe new tax bill.
The Secretary of War has issued an order

From Atlanta.
Atlanta, July 20.—In the Senate to-day a
message was Teceived from Governor Bul
loch stating that the report of the committee . . ... ... ,
raised to investigate the eligibility of Seca- son * Its features will include
tors under the act of Congress to admit the
States of Georgia, etc., together with the
evidence taken, had been transmitted'- to the
Commanding General and.tbefoliowingreply
received from General Meade:—
“Governor-. I acknowledge the receipt of
yonrs of the 17th, transmitting the action of
" ~ ‘ ^ ' ipm\
the Senate on the eligibility ‘of its members
under the Fourteenth Article, constitutional
amendment, and objecting to the same on
the ground of the admission of certain mem
bers who, in the jadgment of the ’minority
■of the committee and yourself, are ineligible.
In reply, I beg leave to state that the snbjeot
matter of your communication will be held
by me for consideration and action deferred
nntil I am officially advised of the course
pursued by the House of Representatives on
tbe same subject.” '
" Oh {notion, the message' was hud on the
table and the Senate adjourned.
In the Honse a resolution to send to the
Governor the papers, documents and evi
dence in the cases of alleged ineligibility of
its members was defeated.
The committee appointed to report to the
. man in
dtew near (he place where Armstrong was
secreted, the latter stepped forth end fol-
lowtd bis companions without seeding to
notice him. I'tesently he knelt down as if
to tie his shoe, and Hess, unable to pass,
slopped within slew feet of him. The next
moment, turning about to pick up his bun
dle, which had bran thrown aside upon the
ground*, by a sntden change of movement,
he seizedithe unsispecting Frenchman and
burled him over.he edge of 'the terrible
abyss.
Some twenty or hirty feet down from the
face of the precipioithe wretched man lodged
in tbe branches of y Scraggy hemlock tree,
which grew out q' a crevice in the rocky
wall, and might froq thence have been res
cued if assistance hal been nigb; bnt there
was none. How tbe: murderer could sum
mon tbe bardihood tcatoopdown and watch
tbe fall qf his victim from the dizzy .height
We canbot imagine! Yet Armstrong did
look down the cliff, jerbap3 to assure him
self that bis murderois work was well done,
and saw poor Hess : still desperately main
taining his hold upon Kte, instead of lying a
shapeless mass at the bottom of the canon.
The fiendish spirit manifested itself etili
farther. He got fragments of rock and.cast
them'down-npon the p^orinfan until his life
less body toppled ovei the yawning- abyss
below; tnen Armstrong arose and pursued
his journey. a
The whole act was ieen from a distance
by another of the party.who was apart bunt
ing for game; and after they had-got into
camp at nigbt he told tkq story; when Arm
strong was seized and charged with the mur
der, and he did not deny "if. A part of the
company were in favor of taking him with
them through to the settlements to be tried
by the civil authorities, bnt the majority were
