M. LiiLiOTX, Gen’i Bop’f ABE WE A NATION ? A Compromise Resolution Adopted on the Sabject. In the House of Hpprpsentatis-es -n the 13th inst. Ur. Baker, of In diana, offered the following resold, tion: Resolved, That the people of the United States, constitute one nation and not a mere Confederacy of States i constitution was i R>nned by the people acting in their • primary and individual capacity through their delegates thereto duly constituted; that the Government ; under the Constitution is one of the I people, by the people and for the : people; and that in its appropriate sphere the Government of this na tion is sovereign and supreme; that in its nature it is permanent and in dissoluble except by the action and consent of the whole people; that no State has any right or authority to judge of the constitutionality of laws enacted by Congress or to nulli fy the execution of the same; and that all other acts by any State or people thereof of secession there from, or of rebellion again the same, constitute treason, and that the late war ot the rebellion, for the dismem berment of the Union, was causeless and indefensible on any theory ot right or of constitutional law. He moved the rules be suspended and the resolution adopted, and he j called for the yeas and nays, which 1 were ordered. Mr. Stone, of Maine, moved the house adjourn. Rejected. Mr. Cox asked whet her The resolu tion was divisible. _ The Speaker responded that a mo tion to suspend the rules and adopt a | resolution was not divisible. Mr. Cox asked whether it was in order to read from the Constitution these word*: “Done in convention by the unanimous consent of the States. “George Washington.” The Speaker replied that that would be in the nature of a debate and was not in order. The motion to suspend the rules and adopt the resolution was rejected —yeas, 91; nays 72, two-xhirds not having voted in the affirmative. Very few Democrats voted for it. Among them were Messrs. Durand, Uardenburg, Jenks, Nev, Phelps, Potter, Vance, of Ohio, and S. S. Williams, of Michigan. AH the Re publicans voted for it, all the South ern Democrats against, and 'most all the Northern Democrats refrained from voting. Before the vote was announced, Mr. Baker called the attention of the chair to the fact that many members were present who were not voting, and he made the point of order that they be compelled to vote. * The Speaker overruled the point of order. Mr. Randall remarked that there was a good deal of truth in the reso lution, and alftO a good deal of false principle. The result of the vote was then an nounced. The foilovving is the nega tive: Messrs. Ashe, Atkins, Beebe, Blackburn, Bland, Blount, Boone, Bright, Brown, of Kentucky, Cabell, Caldwell, of Alabama, Caldwell, of Tennessee, Chandler, Cate, Clarke of Kentucky, Cook, Cowan, Culberson, Debolt, Dibrell, Douglas, Ellis, Eel ton, Forney, Franklin, Gb-ver, Goode, Gunter, Hancock, Ilartridge, Harris of Georgia, Hewitt of Ala bama, Hill, Hooker, House, Hunton, Hurd, Jones of Kentucky, Knott, Levy, Lewis, Lord, Meade, Millikin, Muteheler, Oddell, Parsons.

Mr. Cox, of New York, then of fered the following resolutions: liesofved, That the people of the United States constitute a nation in the sense, to the extent and for the purposes defined in the Federal Con stitution. Resolved , That the Government of the United States is a Federal Union, and was formed by the people of the several States in their sovereign ca pacity; that the rights and powers of the United States Government are defined anti limited by the Federal Constitution, and these rights and powers cannot be enlarged or dimin ished except by amendment to the Constitution. Helloed, That the rights of the ytutes have thu same sanction of se curity in the Constitution as the r \ s ami t p‘ nv t ocaf do - uiestic government by the several States within tlie limits of the Con stitution, is absolutely necessary for the preservation of the liberties oi citizens, and continuance of our Re pubiican system of Government. Resolved, That the doctrine that any State has the right to secede from the Union, is in conflict with the idea of a perpetuation, as contemplated by the Constitution, and should be regarded as being forever extin- < g uTSfICG ny flic rccult uf the rueent civil conflict. Mr. Holman called for the yeas and nays, and they were ordered. Mr. Blaine expressed the hope that every union man in the House would vote against the resolution. The motion to suspend the rules and adopt the resolution was adopt ed-yeas, lot); nays, 42. The Demo crats and a few of the Republicans voted for the resolution. Among the .Republicans voting “aye” were Messrs. Kelley, Leavenworth. Mc- DJII, Phillips* of Kansas, Platt, Townsend, of Pennsylvania, Wii liard, W, B. Williams, of Michigan, and Wilson. The rest of the .Repub licans voted “no.” Gen. Gordon’s Revenue Bill. —The Boston Adaertiser does not agree with the turbulent demagog ues of its party concerning Gen. Gordon’s revenue bill. This pap e says: “All the revenue officers are now republicans. Suppose this Lull passed, will it not give a life ten tore to members of the pany now in power? Is not General Gordon fool ish to propose a measure which, de bars his party from doing more than fill vacancies? The fact is as every body can see, that Senator Gordon is making a proposition which, so far from exposing him justly to the charge of partisanship, would render it impossible to till these offices on partisan grounds, and which gives them all in the first place, for an in definite period into the hands of the author’s politieial opponents. But the only worthy reason for advocat ing the proposition is, that it is wise ■and rignb” Georgia Lawmakers. The Legislature *nd Its Work. [Front the Washington (Wilkes County) Ga zette, j The Legislature of Georgia has ad journed after one ot the’most remark able sessions on roe mi. Remarkable, not for what it did, not for the use ful laws enacted, not for the amount of work and good accomplished, but for the amount left undone, for not doing work which was and has been for years imperatively demand ed by the people of the State, This Legislature has been remarkable, all through its cojurse, at its session lad year and again this year, for an exhi bition of intimidity and faltering not compatible with true patriotism and ! genuine statesmanship. The vast majority of the members seem to have been infi v sued more by fear than by a determination to do" ' right and to enact such laws as they in their own candid judgments, believ ed to bo best for the State and peo- ] pie. Every measure of great impor- i tance which came up seemed to ae i too great for the mastery of our leg islators. The entire session was frit ted away by passing local laws of no general interests or importance j to the Hkiteat large, by changing the • code so as to confuse lawyers and ' make litigation more intricate, tedi- j cus and uncertain than ever, and by passing acts which makes the laws | of almost every individual county ; distinct and different from the laws which govern the other counties. | There were only a few subjects brought before the body of great im portance and which required any special display of statesmanship. There were a few acts which were j imperatively demanded of this Leg i Isb.itare and these facts failed in their passage through the timidity of ti>° bodv, or through a worse idtruenee. We believe that Gaudily was the cause of *i-ir failure, and not that {bo members were influenced by any base motive. The members were afraid of the voice of the people. Tnev were afraid that their acts would iiot. be approved by the peo ple and that they would lose their individual popularity and not receive the votes of their constituents for any other office. Whenever officeholders are influenced by any such fear, they are certain to meet the fate they so much dread, and be relieved by the people from toe performance of of ficial duty. There is nothing more fatal to the aspirations of a politican than an apparent dread of his con stituents. The man who has depen dence of character sufficient to do what he considers right, and who does not love office so devotedly that his fear of loosing it makes him in efficient, is the man who will main tain the respect of his constituents and always obtain their suffrage, provided he has the inability to know what is right and the brains to discern the true from the false, nis acts will always speak for him. We regret that the last Legislature had few such men in either branch, and the session has been wasted in doing nothing. I lad the pari v performed one single duty, which hii* been so forcibly urg ed upon for several years, the mem bers through whose influence the duty was done would stand far bet ter in a estimation of all than do those -to-day whose influence and votes prevented its eccomplisment. We refer to the passage of an act either calling a convention of the people to frame a constitution for the State, or allowing the people to say by their votes' whether they would have such convention or would prefer to live on under the present instrument, which is no more a con stitution of the State of Georgia than is the book of Genesis. But they failed to do this after wasting agreat deal of time, and after taking such action as t<> make the people believe there would boa convention, though at a very distant day. And so they failed in almost everything of impor tance. The adjournment of the body was the best action of the session,and it is our opinion that the next Legis lature of Georgia will be composed in great part of members who did not participate in the do-nothing pol icy of the last. > That Flag, Mrs. 11. S. Kimball Writes Another Letter —A True Woman. From the Philadelphia Tones, of Saturday, we extract the following letter by the lady who gave Mr. Hill the Confederate flag, and which he sent to the Young Men’s Library Association of this city : To the Editor of the Times: hasTteen pleased to publish my let ters to Hon B. H. Hill, of Georgia, prefacing it thus: “There it a woman living in Philadelphia who sympathizes with Hill, of Georgia, in liis tirade against the North for cruel ty to Confederate prisoners.” My motive was certainly misunderstood. My husband and brother served the country in her hour of need, and I rendered all the service in my pow er by attention to the sick and wounded. Since the war it has been my fortune to pass much time in the South, and 1 reel sure, could the peo ple of the North know the Southern people better, the prejudice kept alive by ambitious politicians would be powerless longer to distract our country. No brave man follows his opponent after he has laid down his arms and acknowledge? himself pow er! ess,* n ore particularly after he has fought manfully. When the skillful surgeon has cut away a disaffected part he uses all his power to heal that wound for the preservation of the body. Every good American should use all means inr his or her power to heal all wounds, thereby giving health and strength to our body politic. I did give the flag back to Georgia. There was no other place for it, and I would be very glad to s*-e all our Southern prodigals back and fasten ed in our “Fathers House.” Mrs. 11. S. Kimball.

CAKTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH 23,1876. Radical New Hampshire. Reports from the New Hampshire election thus far say that no result will be reached until midnight. Dis patches from various points indicate republican gains in every town heard from. There are evidences of frauds !on both sides. In Concord „the repub licans gain over last year’s vote. ! Both parlies are sanguine. Boston, March 14,—A Concord special to the Boston Journal says E. H. Rollins states that the latest returns from various sections indi cate very strongly that Cheney is eh ' ted by the people, and that the republicans have carried both sides of the legislature. There are repub lican gains in many of the towns so far heard from, but the returns are yet too meagre to estimate on. Boston*, March 1-f. 8:30 p. m.—Re turn; from 71 New Hampshire towns give Cheney, republican, 12,- 17-3, and Marcy, democrat, 10,64tand Kendall, prohibition 93,. This shows a republican gain. Boston, March 14.—An estimate of the return of 103 towns outside of the cities received here at 9 p. m., gives Cheney, republican, 16,012; Marcv, democrat, 14,127; Kendall and scattering t il. The repubbeans are still showing a gain. The follow ing is a comparative statement of 69 towns and ward.-;: Cheney, 11,931; Marcv, 10,372; Kendall and scattering 92. In U 72, these towns and wards gave th< Re publicans 11,452; democratcs, UU>9i ; prohibition etc., 173. Republican net gain this year, 671. THE LATEST. Boston, March 11.—A fwrord special to the Rod, con cedes the victory in New A majority* in both | branches of the legislature and the election of Cheney by the people by a very small majority; but as the case last year, hitter returns may ma i terialiy affect the result. One hun dred anti sixty-six towns and wards give Cheney 21,739 vote- ; ; Marcv, 23,223 votes; Kendall and scattering, 254 votes. The same towns last year | gave the republicans 26,583 votes ; I democrats, 25,963 votes; scattering, 477 votes; republican net gain, 2,118 | votes. Concord, March 14.-The returns | of the election being received hero are very full, and show decided republi can gains throughout the Si.de. In dications point to the election of Cheney by the people, and there seems to be no doubt that the repub licans have elected a majority of the Senators. The republicans claim that they have a majority in the house of fif teen or twenty, though the democrats do not yet concede the house repub lican. The republicans are confident they have made a clean sweep, and are jubilant. wot received to indicate pro -isoiy the sta tus. Death of Hon, I, L. Harris. It becomes our melancholy duty to announce the death of Hon. Iver son Louis Harris of our city, which occurred at his residence at 11 o’clock P. ni., on last Sunday night, the 12th inst. The event has long been ex pected by Judge Harris and Ills friends; he having received a stroke of paralysis which had confined him to his bed for the last two or three years. The funeral services on yes terday, at his residence, were con ducted by the Rev. George T. Gretch ius in a solemn and impressive man-' nor, and his remains were followed to their resting place in the city cemetery by a very large concourse of sorrowing frientls. Judge Harris was a native of Mid dle Georgia, and had his home in our city from his early boyhood to the time of bis death in the 72nd year of his age. His long life up to the pe riod when stricken down by disease had been one of uncommon vigor and activity both mental and bodily. He was engaged the greater portion of his manhood’s career in the prac tice of the law, in which be attained the highest distinction for skill and learning. He filled a seat in the State Legislature at one period, and afterwards presided with great abili ty first as a Judge of the Superior Court, and lastly as one of the Judg es of the Supreme Court. In the last position, soon after the close of the war, it became his duty to pass on grave and important ques tions springing out of results of the war; and in some of these decisions, the opinions of Judge Harris •■ere marked by a transcendent force and ability that spread his fame as a ju rist far beyond the limits of Georgia, and were justly ranked as equal in * l tH fi and i¥L r’jhti'krar MI 10 fl - al reputation. He was a bold, origi nal and exhaustive thinker; and in an age when we have seen corrup tion taint the occupants of high pla ces a;ul venality is the rule, not (he exception, Judge Harris remained emphatically an honest man—honest at all times* and in all places, in of fice, in private life, everywhere. Would that he, dying, could h*ve left behind him more than he did. fashioned in his own noble mould! But he has gone “full of years and full of honors” to the blessed immor tality beyond the grave.—MiUedge ville Union: Pendleton Explaining Himself. Washington, March 14.— George H. Pendleton was before the commit-1 tee investigating the war department ] to-day. The following is his testi mony : He has been president of the Ken-i tucky Central railroad since Decern- j her, 1809. When he took possession ! he found a large claim against the j government for transporting troops, j etc. He went to see Governor Stev- j enson about the claim, who told him | that it had been hanging on for a ong time, and that fifty per cent, j would be given to any one who would have it paid. He then went! to see others who were interested in j it. and made an arrangement by uni -h he was to receive one-half of i all ha collected. The allowance was for 8148,000. The claim was report-1 ed favorably and pas-* dc Witness i received the money from Boutwell. j He never paid any money to Bulk - i nnp or agreed to pay any money to [ Belknap or' ary of his family, nor | were they implicated in the payment j of the claim, which was paid in June, 1871, and no money was paid to any j one to get it through. The bill reducing the president’s j salary to 82.4,000 after the 4th of March next, passed ihe Senate to-day by a vote of 2(5 to 20. An innocent freshman at Oxford after he had paid the various college and university fees, was told that he must subscribe to the Thirty-nine Art ides. “With all my heart,” was his willing reply ; “how much is it?” Georgia and Tennessee, The State of Georgia has a bonded dc bt equal to about five per cent, of the true value of her property under the federal census of of her bond iiear seven ?K*r cent int<Ti*t and about one fifth of them have their interest paid in gold. Her bonds are rarely quoted la-low par, and her interest is met as it fails due. Tennessee has a bonded debt equal to about fire pw cent, of her proper ty under the federal census of IS70 — her bonds a!! bear interest at six per cent, payable in currency. Why they aro so quoted it is needless to and I :.—Via rks vilie Ch romtde. The Axxdanehe will venture a few explanations, based on .official data, t.at may assist the Chronicle to solve tiis conundrum. Prior to 1875 the ** called public debt was *16,780,500. The democratic legislature of 1875 tir"ov out evejy dollar of illgality ipeie debt, thus reducing the total \uii.i debt to $8,575,000, on which in te . is now paid. The amount Brown out was 18,575.000. A por tion of the recoenirod debt bears 7 jer cent, gold interest, and a portion 78 and 8 per cent, in currency. The Georgia 7 quoted at 105$ to 106 j in N *.v York on the Bth, bears 6 per cviA interest in gold, quarte ly and stftrP.-annuaHy, To sum up: Tennessee’s debt is ah 'it 325,090,000; Georgia’,;. $8,575,- 'M.

Perhaps the C hroniele and other journals which express surprise at the poor showing uie.de by Turmesee, when contrasted with Goorgia can now spo why bonds linger in the 4s.

Bower was a merchant. His wife, as were all the Tomlinson women, was handsome dashing and gay. She was also very ambitious. ’Tis slid that often his ir-art was grieved by her behavior. In time he fell into a decline. They lived at Cin cinnati then. His health not im proving, he conclnth'd to try the cli mate of Florida. His wife did not accompany him. At this time a gen tlemen known far and wide in politi cal circles became the counsellor and adviser of the handsome woman whose husband had gone off' to die. Business brought them together fre quently, and their relations became close and intimate. There was at the time much shrugging of fair shoulders among those who knew in- pejtirs rest, arid grave old dow agers sho>their heads —- ly. To my the f b tm re was a great <Dv>t of talk. Bower (lied, and the task of befriending the wid ow was well discharged by the gen tleman alluded to. Mrs. Bower goon found means of assuaging the grief occasioned by her loss, and was ready once more to enter into the gay world which she loved so fondly.— SI. Louis Republican. Samuel Bard.—We have news from Alabama and Tennessee that ;h© celebrated Sam Bard, who resides In thee- two Ftt-rtt>i*i, K pri'wn !<„ energetic in his advocacy of the third term, since he failed to get the place of pos!masterat Atlanta. Bam Bard’s enthusiasm for the third term was not lessened by the Belknap affair. It had stood harder tests than that and grew better through them all. In fact tiie Belknap exposures made it evident to Sam Bara’s inind that Grant must have a (.bird term in or der that he might stiil prosecute the work of purifying the government, and making it a liberal, hightoned concern. But yet, after all, Sam Bard did not get the Atlanta, post mastership, and consequently has lately felt so discouraged over the prospects of the third term, that, in stead of whooping and yelling for it like a lusty savage, he can but squeak for it like a doli baby.— N. Y. Sun. Bad Atmosphere of tiie House. —A Washington dispatch says: •‘The atmosphere of the House is so bad that fifteen or twenty members, who ought to be acclimated by this time, are on the sick list. Speaker Kerr, who knows how vitiate# tlie atmosphere is, refuses to remain in the chair any longer than he can help. It is reported that there is a conspiracy to poison the Democratic members! The Republicans do not remain in their seats, except when important business demands it.” JStoere ttt is' no Tetter than the atmosphere of the House, and, un ess it is speedily purified, a pestilence fatal to the nation will be engendered. By his own account Orville Grant is not as thrifty as his brother Hi ram. no seen rod several traderships through Presidential influence, hut lost money on them—lost money when he had put no money in them. Absurd as this seems it may be true. Last Wednesday the unfortu nate Orville was sued in Washington for his part of the losses of a printing firm in which he invested nothing but his influence to obtain govern ment contracts. He got the firm the printing of the post office in that city and other good jobs, but the management was bad and the firm went into bankruptcy, involving Grant among other meml>er*. Congressman Lamar, of Mississip pi, is reported seriously ill, and is threatened with paralysis. He is gone to New York to consult a physician will afterward go to his home in Mississippi,to remain for the present. It is doubtful whether he will he able to continue his labors as a mem ber of the House. Kis abscence will be a serious locs to the Democratic side of the House. He has been un well all the winter, and having once had * shock of paralysis, his physical condition is a critical one. lion George 11. Pendleton, was ex amined by the Committee on Expen ditures in the War Department in conneticut with the charges against him of fraudulent claim transactions. He answered all the questions put to him satiMactorily, leaving no doubt at all that he was wrongfully accused. Gen. Boynton, who made the charges, was also exam ined, but could furnish no proof to sustain his accusation. Charles Brown, of Georgetown, Ky., was made ready f >r burial, the supposition being that he was dead ; but he revived, and his wife was alK>ut to send the coffin Kirk to the undertaker. Mr. Brown suid : “No, we’ll keep it, for 1 ’spose I really will dir wnne day, md it’ll come handy Uion, if i don’t outgrow iw” Special Notices. Directory of County Officers. Obdtxary—J. a. Hotrarh.
