GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
Tuesday, July 21.
SE.VATE.
A message was received from the Gover
nor, which was taken np and read.
Mr. Winn moved that the resolution re
ported by him on yesterday be taken up.
Mr. Merrill reported a resolution as a sub-
stimte:
Be it resolved by tbe Senate and House of
Representatives, in General Assembly met.
That the amendment to the Constitution of
the United States, proposed by the 39th
Congress, and known as article 14, be and
the same is hereby ratified as a part of tbe
Constitution of the United States, and also
npon this further fundamental condition,
to-wit : (This is the article striking oat re
lief.)
Mr. Candler offered a substitute, in sub
stance, that the message of the Governor
and all matters pertaining to the 14th amend
ment be referred to the Judiciary Commit
tee to be appointed, who will report at as
early a day as practicable.
Campbell, colored, opposed Mr. Candler’s
substitute on the grounds of delay.
Mr. Brock called the previous question,
which was sustained.
Tue resolution of Mr. Candler was lost.
The resolution of Mr. Merrill was then
put and passed—yeas 28, nays 14.
Those who voted in the affirmative are
Messrs. Adkins, Bowers, Bradley, Brock,
Bratton, Campbell, Coleman, Conley, Cor
bitt, Dickey, Griffin of the 6th, Griffin of
the 21st, Harris, Higbee, Hungerford, Jones,
Jordan, Merrill, McWhorier, Richardson,
Sherman, Smith of the 7th, Smith of the
36th, Speer, Stringer, Wallace, Welch and
Wien.
Those voting in the negative are Messrs.
Anderson, Burns, Chandler, Collier, Fain,
Hicks, Hinton, Holcombe, McArthur, Mc-
Catchen, Nisbet, Nunnaly, Welborne, and
Wooten.
Mr. Hinton reported a resolution that
four Senators be added to the Committee on
Investigating the charges against Aaron
Aipeoria Bradley.
Mr. Adkins thought the Senators had bet
ter go on and transact business, instead of
still harboring this prejudice against another
race, this was persecution, nothing more—
still if it was necessary to have this matter
investigated, he was willing, bnt he thought
that tbe committe already appointed suffi
cient.
Mr. Hinton said that it was due the Sena
tor from the First, to have these charges in
vestigated. He learned that it was a matter
of impossibility to get the majority of this
committee together, and hence be thought
that by an addition to the number, action
can be had in some manner.
Mr. Nunnaly offered a substitute in sub
stance that inasmuch as the committee ap
pointed' have failed to make a report in
the case of A. A. Bradley, that the Senate
proceed at once to investigate the charges.
Mr. Adkins moved that the Committee be
discharged, and the matter referred to the
Committee on Privileges and Elections when
appointed.
Mr. Candler urged that the matter be in
vestigated at once. He gave notice in tbe
conclusion of his remarks that there was one
way the Senate could reach the case. A res
olution would be introduced, charging that a
felon was sittiog in yonr midst, and the proof
introduced, and Senators should vote accord
ing to tbe oaths they had taken.
Hr. Nunnaly withdrew bi9 resolution.
The resolution of Mr. Hinton, and tbe mo
tion of Mr. Adkins were laid on the table.
Mr. Smith reported a resolntion that the
Senate meet at 9 o’clock and adjourn at 1
o’clock.
Various amendments were offered, bnt the
original resolntion was adopted.
Mr. Higbee offered a resolution that a
committee of three from the Senate and five
from the House, be appointed to wait upon
the Governor elect and notify him that the
two Houses will be ready to inaugurate him
Governor at each time as may snit his
convenience, in the Hall of Representatives.
0n motion of Mr. Burns, the Senate pro
ceeded to elect a President pro. tem., which
resulted in the election of the Hon. C. B.
Wooten.
Mr. Smith,of the Seventh,reported a resolu
tion that a certified copy of the action of the
Legislature on the Fourteenth Amendment
be forwarded by the Provisional Governor to
the President of the United States and
Secretary of State. The same was agreed
to. ■' ” • - • *■
By permission, Mr. Spear and Mr. Ander
son were relieved from serving on the
committee appointed on the Bradley case,
and Messrs. Merrell and Fain appointed in
their stead.
On motion, the Senate adjourned nntil 9
o'clock to-morrow.

A Tails with Seymour.
The special of the Louisville Journal, wri
ting from Washington ou the 15th, says:
I have just seen Colonel R. C. Mason, of
Virginia, who spent day before with Mr. Sey-
mour, at Utica. He represents the Demo
cratic nominee as the most agreeable and un
ostentatious of men, and his home as a para
dise of comfort and hospitality. Mr. Sey
mour talks freely of the New York Conven
tion. He says he went there with no other
aim than to join in the selection of some
good Democrat; that he was not hostile to
Pendleton, but on the contrary waa Pendle
ton’s friend; and that the Iasi thing he ex
pected or desired was the result which final
ly placed him in the field. He thinks the fi
nancial question is not generally understood,
and is confident that the West will approve
his views when they come to be known more
fully. Mr. Seymour is ot the opinion that
Grant will make a poor mu in all of the
middle StateB and that he will lose several of
the New England States. His own majority
in New York, he believes, will be upward of
one hundred thousand. He is very sanguine
of a peaceful campaign and thriumphant
election. Col. Mason tells me that all along
the railroad line in New York, and at every
station and village, the enthusiasm for Sey
mour was very great. In this city it is cer
tainly gaining ground. Every day adds new
confidence to the Democrats and witnesses
the Radicals angrier and more skeptical.
First Bale of Cotton.—The Montgomery
Mall says: “A gentleman living in Pfc e
county, about 27 miles from Montgomery
and 4 miles East of Orion, says he will have
a bale of cotton here in market by tbe 1st
of AuguBt. He does not think there will be
much cotton open at that time, bnt will
have his bale ready. On 60 acres that he
has planted, he intends making 30 bales, or
half a bale to the acre: He has never in bis
life had a better cotton crop. We learn that
the crops generally in this section are not so
good as his. The late severe drought in
many sections almost completely destroyed
the corn, and very seriously injured the cot
ton We fear there will be great disappoint
ment next foil in the crops."
Lincoln’s Omnion of Judge Chase.—A
writer in the Boston Transcrip says that Go v.
Andrews, a week before his death, related to
him the following: “1 was in Washington
just before Mr. Chase was nominated as
Chief Justice, and, at Mr. Lincoln’s request,
called at the White House. ‘Here I am,’
said Mr. Lincoln, surrounded by documents
relating to the vacancy on the Supreme
bench, and requests to appoint Mr. Chase.
Mr. Chase is a man of ability; as a public
-officer, <£ harked fidelity; as t poDttMrn,
ambitious, pn foe subject of the
r. little irsane. He has said tu
wbioh have seat discord where to
be harmony; but a man in
should not harbor resentment, at
pointhim,”!

damns as long aa convenience will allow:
PLATFORM.
The Democratic party, in National Convention as
sembled, reposing its trust la the intelligence, pa
triotism, discrimination and JobUco of tbe people,
standing npon the Constiutl >n as the foundation
and limitation of the powers ot the Government, and
the guarantee of the liberties of the citizen, and re
cognizing the questions or slavery and secession as
having been settled for all time to come by tbe war.
or the voluntary action of tne southern Staton in
Constitutional Conventions assembled, and never to
be renewed or reagitated, do, with the return of
peace, demand:
First. The immediate restoration of all the 8tates
to their rights in toe Union under the Constitution,
and of civil government to the American people.
Second. Amnesty for all past political offences and
the regulation of the elective franchise in the States
by their citizens.
Third. The payment of the publio debt of the Uni
ted States as rapidly as practicable; ail moneys
drawn from the people by taxation, except so much
as ia requleitp for the necessities of the government
economically administered, being nonestly applied t_>
each payment; and where the obligations ot the gov
ernment do not expressly state upon their face, or
the law under which they were leaned does not pro
vide that they shall be paid in coin, they ought, in
right and in justice, to be paid in the lawful money
of the United states.
Fourth. Kqnal taxation of every species of property
according to its real value, including bonds and other
public securities.
Fifth. One currency for the Government and the
people, the laborer and the office-holder, the pen
sioner und the soldier, the producer and the bond
holder.
Sixth. Economy in the administration of the gov
ernment; the redaction of the standing army and
n*vy; the abolition of the Freedmen's tJureiu, snd
all political iostrumenta ities designed to secure negro
supremacy; simplification of the system and dlscon-
tiuuanco or inquisitorial modes of assessing and col
lecting Intern*!-• e^enne, so that tbs burden or taxa
tion may be eqaanao^ and lessened, the credit of the
Government and the currency made good; the repeal
of all enactments for enrolling the State militia into
national forces in time of peace, and a tariff for
revenue npon foreign imports, snd Buch equal taxa
tion under the internal rove me laws as will afford
incidental protection to domestic manufactures, and
as will, without impairing the revenue, impose the
least burden upon and best promote and encourage*
the great industrial interests of the country.
tieveath. Keformof abuses in the administration;
expulsion of corrupt men from office; abrogation of
useless offices; the restoration of rigbtrnl authority
to, and the independence ot, the executive and Judi
cial departments ot tne government; the subordina
tion of the military to the civil power, to the end
that tbe usurpations of Congress and the despotism
of the sword may ceise.
Eightu. Equai rights and protection for naturalized
and native b jrn citizens at home and abroad; the
assertion of American nationality which shall com
mand the respect of foreign powers, and inrniah an
example and encouragement to people struggling for
national Integrity, constitutional liberty and indi
vidual rlgtits, and the maintenance or the rights of
naturalized citizens against the absolute doctrine of
immutable allegiance, and the claim* of foreign
powers to puniSn them for alleged crime committed
oeyond their inrisdiction.
In demanding these measures and reforms we ar
raign the Radical party for its disregard of right aud
the unpttraleiled oppression and tyranny which have
marked Its career. Alter a most solemn and nnaul-
mens pledge of both Houses of Congress to prosecute
the war exclus.vely for the maintenance or the gov
ernment and the preservation of the Union under the
Constitution, it has repeatedly violated that most sa
cred pledge under which alone rallied that noble vol
unteer army which carried our flag to victory.
Instead ox restoring the Onion, it has so far as in its
power uisuoived it and subjected ten States, in time
of profoaud peace, to military uespotism and negro
supremacy, it nas nullified tnere the right of trial
by j ary; it has abolished the habeas corpus, that most
sacred writ of liberty; it has overthrown the lreedom
of speech and the press; it has saostitnted aroitrary
seizures and arrests, and military trials and secret
star chamber inquisitions lor the constitutional tri
bunals; it has disregarded in time or peace toe right
of the people to be free from searches and seizures;
it has entered tne post aud telegraph offices, ana
even the private rooms of inaividuals, and seized
tbeir private papers and letters without any specific
cnarge or notice of affidavit, as required by the or
ganic law; it has converted tbe American capitol Into
a bastl.e; it lias established a symstem oi spies and
official espionage to which no constitutional mon-
arcuy or Europe would now dare to resort; it has
abolished the right of appeal on important constitu
tional questions to the supreme judicial tribunals,
and threatens to cnrcall or destroy Its original juris
diction, which is Irrevocably vested by the constitu
tion; while tbe learned Chief Justice nas been sub
jected to the most atrociuu* calumnies, merely be
cause he would not prosiltnte his high office to the
support of the false and partlsau chargee preferred
against the President. Its corruption and extrava
gance have exceeded anything known in history,
and by Its frauds and monopolies it has nearly dou
bled the burden of the debt created by tne war. It
has stripped the President ol his constitution
al power of appointment even of his own cabi
net. Under its repeated assaults the pillars of the
government are rocking on their base, and should it
succeed in November next and inaugurate its Presi
dent, we will meet as a subjugated and conquered
people amid the rains of liberty and the scattered
fragments of the Constitution.
And we do declare and resolve that ever since the
people of the United States threw off all subjections
to tne British crown the privilege and trust of suf
frage have belonged to the several States, and have
"z n„Y,„Y.„; n tho TTTxstaxAi 0 ®® 11 8 rftQted » regulated and controlled exclusively
nestly petition the Congress of the United by the political power of eacn State respectively, and
* * ” ~ that any attempt by Congress, on any pretext what
ever, to deprive any State of this right, or interfere
with its exercise, is a flagrant usurpation of power
which can find no warrant in the constitution ;
and if sanctioned by the people will enbvert our
form of government, and can only end iu a a single
centralized and consolidated government, in which
the separate existence of the Stated will t>e entirely
aotorbed and an unqualified despotism be established
in place of a Federal Union of.oo-eqnal States; and
tnat we regard the reconstruction acts (so-called; of
Congress, as such, are usurpations and unconstitu
tional, revolutionary wad void; tnat onr soldiers and
sailors who carried tne flag of onr country to victory
against a gallant and moat determined foe most ever
be gratefully remembered, and all the guarantees
given in their favor, mast be faith fully carried into
execution.
That the public lands should be distributed as
widely as posaiDle among tne people, and should be
disposed of either under the pre-emption of home
stead lands, and sold in reasonable quantities, and
to none but actual occupants, at the minlnfnm price
established by the Government. When grants of the
pnbiio lands may be allowed necessary for tbe en
couragement of important public improvements, the
proceeds of the sale of such lands, and not the lands
themselves, should be so applied.
Tnat the president of the United States, Andrew
Jotmson, In exercising tne paver ol bis high office la
resisting tbe aggressions ol Congress npon tbe Uon-
stltatlonsl riguts of tbe States anti tbe people, la en
titled to the gratitude ot tbe whole American people,
and In bebalt of tbe Democratic party we tender him
onr thanks for bis patrlotlo efforts in that regaid.
Upon this platform tbs Democratic party appeal to

Now, reader, self-abuse, venereal diseases
badly cured, and sexual excesses, are all ca
pable of producing a weakness ot the gen
erative organs. The organs of generation,
when in perfect health, make the man. Did
yon ever think that those bold, denant, en
ergetic, persevering, successful business men
are always those whose generative organs
are in perfect health ? kou never hear such
men complain of being mulancholy, of ner
vousness, of palpitation of foe heart. They
are never afraid they cannot succeed in busi
ness; they don’t become sad and discour
aged; they are always polite and pleasant in
tbe company of ladies, and look yon and
them right in the face—none of yonr down
cast looks or any other meanness aDout
them. I do not mean those who keep the
organs inflamed by running to excess. These
will not only rain tbeir constitutions, but
also those they do business with or tor.
How many men from badly-cured diseases,
from the effeots-of self-abuse and excesses,
have brought about that rtate of weakness
in those organs that hae reduced tbe general
system so much as to induce almost every
other disease—idiocy, lunacy, paralysis,
spinal affections, suicid . ana almost every
other form oi disease - Lien humanity is

Fork,” who. waa equally at homo whether stealing
Red men’s scalps or a pale face’s horse. The desire
