A bill has passed the Senate au
thorizing the Governor to purchase
the Macon and Brunswick Railroad.
King Amadeus, has abdicated the
throne of Spain, and the Cortes have
adopted a Republican form of Gov
ernment.

A bill has passed the Legislature
prohibiting citizens convicted of lar

trust or profit.

A Goon Law. —The Legislature
has passed a bill prohibiting rail
roads from charging greater rates of
transportation on freight per mile
to local points tbfcn through rates.
Hod Samuel J. Bayard, of New
Jersey, who headed the straight-out
Democratic movement against the
Baltimore nominations, * has gone
, squarely into the Radical party, and
expresses a determination to “ act
and vote ” with- that party. Other
straight-outs appear to be drifting in
tho same direction.
Death of Gov. Goiry,
Harrisburg, Feb. 8. —Gov. Geary
died suddenly this morning. He
returned last evening from New York
apparently in good health. He Was
breakfasting with bis family, and
while in the act of helping his little
one, his head fell back. Before bis
wife could reach him he died. His
sudden demise causes great sorrow
Hon. R. M. T. Hunter— Tho bill
foi removing the political disabilities
of R. M. T. Hunter, of Virginia, has
passed both houses. Xt passed
the House to-day without a dis
senting voice, which is indicative of
n more liberal spirit than has here
tofore prevailed. It is due to Mr.
Hunter to say' £hat his course since
tho war has been very quiet and dig
nified.

Loves Labor Not Lost. —The bill
which passed Congress and was sent
to the President on the 16th ult. to
pay. Mary Love, of Tennessee, $2,000
for derricCs in <mn-y»»g tlinpnleW
fromjfen. Grant to Gen, Burnside
at Knoxville, Tqrm., through the
Confederate lines, not having been
returned by the President within the
time prescribed by the constitution,
it has become a law.
Counting' the Electoral Vote.
3 he press dispatches last evening
gave voluminous details of thecoifot
iug of tho electoral vote in the joint
session of Congress yesterday. The
vote of Texas was couuted. The
Houso voted to count Louisiana and
Texas, but the Senate refused to
count either. Tho count, therefore,<
failed front want of concurrence.—-
The Senate voted to cmifit the three
votes of Georgia cast for Greeley,-
but tile House refused, consequently
they were likewise thrown out for
non-concurrence— Bav. Advertiser.
The Bill Granting State Aid icf
the A. &G.K it Defeated
w e aro in receipt of a dispatch
from Hon. T. A. Swearingen, stating
that the Bill granting State aid to'
tho A. A G. Railroad, has teen de
feated in the House by thifty>si*
majority. We cannot attribute the
cause of this defeat to any other
cause, tbau the selfishness of the
members from ftorth Georgia. That
tho passage of tho Bill would have
accrued to the interest of the State,-
no sane man can deny ; bnt the par
tisan politicians of North Georgia,
are too ungenerous to grant aid to
any project that does not redonnd
to their own personal interest.
Alex. H Stephen's
The following article on the can
didate in the Eighth District we
take from the New York Commer
cial Advertiser, and to which we add
our indorsement: “ This little, irre
pressible human steam engine, with
a bi S ,)rain > anybody to speak of, is
one of the most accomplished parli
amentarians the worl*ha« ever seen.
For tact, adroitness and the art of
‘maneuvering ’ in a deliberative
body, no man in the country is his
superior.
He plays off the rules of debate
against an adversary as Paul Mor
phy would play his chessmen. In
days before the war, wc have watch
ed this inspired mauakin circumvert
an adverso majority of the House,
nntil the spectator forgot all about
the subject under discussion, in sheer
admiration of the cleverness with
which Aleck snared his antagonists
in the meshes of parliamentary
law. He will be an acquisition to
Congress. By all means, let him go
back. °
The Negro Exodus.
“ Many of our exchanges ih the
negro belt arc complaining of the
emigration of laborers, and some of.
them, attempt to philosophise on tlia
cause. None have struck the kdM
note yet, and it remains for
brave the storm and utter the
pie truth. |
Lnfriendly legislation is /JBißipi
source of the. evil.” ,
V' e clip the above sign
mission from the Albany
nificant because it
furnishes a candid and
r< asnii for the recent re
continued
from the State of
exchanges have

the Maßts, and
led at; tie their prejudices^K^^^^
licit and recommend reraJKwl
the evil complained of.
with the News in tho reason uH||
signs as “ the prime source of tlmi
evil.”
We have never aided, abetted,
countenanced or sympathised with
that “ unfriendly legislation ” which
has driven and Continues to drive
from oUr State the muscle Which has
Contributed so largely to the reputa
tion of Georgia as a cotton produc
ing edmmohwealtln
We believe that if from such “un
friendly legislation ” our farms are
to be gutted b*y reason of t’m want
of labor, they' will in a few years
consist of old field pines, broom
sedge and Uninviting briar patches ;
and we further believe that in order
to prevent such a result the negro
exodus question should be fished
out of the cess-pdol of party politics,
and dispassionately discussed with a
view of benefiting the people at
large, and the farmer especially, for
the simple reason that to him the
solution of that question is not only
paramount to ull others, but vitally
important, Upon agricultural labor
as a mud-sill, all classes, atdeatione
and professions, are dependent
for the luxuries and necessaries of
life. It is the great drive-wheel
which moves the machinery of gov
ernment, and the fiat has goile forth,
as unchangeable as the laws of the
Modes and Persians, a fiat in which
Providence itself seems to have taken
a part, that upon the African and
his decendants we must depend for
our water to be drawn and our wood
to be hewed.
The of «mL flti
race for tho purpos# of supplying
vacaucies occasioned by the removal
of our present laborers, is as absurd
as it is ridiculous It is an acknowl
edged fact that so far as isothermal
lines are concerned, white labor in
the cotton field south of 32 degrees
parallel of latitude is neither healthy,
pleasant or profitable. We now and
then meet with an isolated excep
tion, but it excites such comment as
to show tho force of the general rule.
We hold that wc are not an effete
race of people, but we do contend
that our former habits, the hot suns
of summer and the continuous cate
find Irtbot required to plant,- till and
gather cotton crops, have a strong
tendency to exclude white labor from
our fields.
The influx of foreign whites by
means of expensive immigration bu
reaus, would by no means remedy
the difficulty, but would rather in
crease it, for in addition to the fore
going obstacles, would be attached
that aversion to an enervating cli
mate, malarial atmosphere, anew
article and mode of agriculture, a
strange language and mode of life
entirely different from that to which
they have been accustomed.
YY e should then be compelled to
Oast about in search of the Mongo
lian race to fillup the vacuum caused
by tins exit of the negro from our
farms and unfitness of the whites for
tho tillage of cotton/ Would that
be Sufficiently practicable to admit
Os cur turning loose the bird ih hand
to'catch the two in the bush? We
wist nut. The cultivation' of cotton
by the Chinese has been tried only
to result in failure and the planter
has been compelled to turn them off
and fall- back upon first principles—
negro labor. It is useless to assign
any cause to this failure of the Chi
nese in the cultivation of the staple,
as the effort to procure and retain
such labor or any other labor (ex
cept the negro,) for our farms have
thus iwr proven abortive. The gold
fields of California and the North
west are too inviting for the Chinese
to admit of the idea that they can be
brought South, either en masse or by
detachments. They realize $1 per
day in gold, contract but seldom for
over one day at a time and never
longer than a week. Where is the
farmer who could p&y such prices,
or employ bis labor on such terms ?
Think of it farmers, ponder over it
and actiug upon it, instruct your
legislators lo retain your laborers al
it was enacted.
The delay in enforcing the consti
tutional requirements ih regard to
the fl'Cb school system is inexcusa
ble! The poor man understands by
whom such delay has bfeeh occasion
ed ahd the purpose of that delay.
Decatur county*has not as yet been
cursed with this wholesale emigra
tion of laborers from her farina, and
we pray God she may never be. We
shall do all in our power to pre
vent such emigration, and our first
effort is in advism g a repeal of all
legislation oppressedly Unfriendly to
our poor men and laboring popula
tion.
