The Knoxville Press and Herald of the 11th Inst., gives the following par ticulars in regard to the murder of the gallant Ashby: The difficulty between Col. 11. M. Ashby and E. C. Camp terminated yesterday in the death of Col. Ashby. It appears Col. Ashby went into Camp’s i office on Main street, about 5 o’clock yesterday afternoon, and after some conversation, Camp proposed to go out t in the street and settle the difficulty. [ Accordingly they went out, and when [ at the corner of Crooked street, Col. I Ashby turned to go down towards the K river, but Camp refused to go. A I scuffle ensued, when Camp drew his \ pistol and shot Col. Ashby through the | head. Col. Ashby fell at once, and after he had falleD, Camp fired two -..more shots, one taking effect in the breast and the other in the mouth. — Camp then walked off and was met by •Sheriff Bearden. He was taken before jijjsq. Joroulman and examined. The j testimony of Major Bearden and Mr. j ' sSule was taken in regard to the previ- , One difficulty, and he was discharged; apon iffooo bail, to appear at the next term ot the Circuit Court. His bonds men are George Andrews, William Igule, M. L. Patterson and M. -T. Chil Cress. THE INQUEST. H The body of Col. Ashby remained ■When: ii fell, surrounded by quite a i'aron-*!, until about 0 o'clock, when «E q. Joroulman, acting as Coroner, pu.mmoned a jury ot inquest. ■: The body was lying upon the pave neut with the head upon the curb stone ghnd the hands crossed upon the breast. The face was powder burned, as was t)lso tbe breast. A Derringer pistol, loaded and uncocked lay by the feet ol She corpse, and the cane ot the deceaecl Was by his side. K Alter examining the body the jury withdrew to Esquire Barry’s house, titid the body was cared for by Col. .Ashby’s friends. ■ The evidence at the inquest was as follows. B Thomas Cain stated that he saw the Whole affair. He was walking with Ashby and as they passed Camp’s Office, Col. Ashby said, "Here’s a man gKiiad a difficulty with yesterday, and 1 .Aro pose to go in and settle the thiup Sghi now.” I told him he had beltei Wot, but he said he didn’t want any enemies or friends without lie knew who they were, or something to thai effect. The two Camps and Olotworthy were playing some game. Ashby went lift and I followed him. When I got in he had said something and Camp got up and met Ashby iu the middle of tin room. Says tie, "Ashby I don’t warn atiy tuss, but if you want to fight this thing out, you and I can go out. on the street and settle this matter.” I said, gentlemen this sort of talk looks J ike sbmebody was going to get killed.— Gamp said Idon’t knowyou and Ashby introduced us. He introduced me as having been in the Federal army, which I never was. Then Clotwortby went off, I called him back and told him he ought to stop this.— gT He said he would look for a police man, and went off again. Then Camp said, “Gentlemen you stay here, and Colonel Ashby and I will settle this difficulty.” They walked along, mak png gestures at each other. Ashby jiurned towards the river, but Camp kept on, and Ashby came back. Ashby threw his hand against Camp. Cainp took hold of Ashby’s stick. A scuffle ensued, and lasted two or three seconds. Camp drew his pistol and shot Ashby. Ashby fell at once. Young Camp and 1 were looking at it. After Ashby fell, nie bad bis hands crossed, and Camp sweat up and pulled his bands apart, |tnd fired again. I think he fired twice I think he had got Ashby’s pistol in the scuffle, and after be bad fired the last time, be threw the pistol at him, and pushed his own hat back on bis head and walked off. |. Wesley Stewart: Was at Baxter’s office. Baxter was busy and I had to wait. Someone said “those men are fussing.” I went to the door; they were walking near the brick house.— Ashby started towards the river. Camp walked forward, and then Ashby came forward, and they sort of locked shoul tiers. Ashby threw up his arm and whirled around and stopped. Ashby threw his hand up in Camp’s face. — Camp throw it off. Camp had his back to me, and his hand in his pocket. Ash by had his hand behind him. He drew it out and Camp held it, and then scamp threw up his hand and I heard the pistol and Ashby fell. Camp fired iwice after Ashby tell and then threw the pistol back at him. I did not see Ashby make any demonstration by ’drawing a pistol. Camp shot him twice lifter he fell. I The jury then retired, and in a few minutes brought in the following ver diet: I State of Tennessee , Knox, County: — §Ve being duly elected, empanelled and Sworn, and charged by R D. Joroul mm, actiug as Coroner of Knox coun ty, as a jury of inquest to in quin how, when and in what manner 11. M Ashby came to his death, on our oaths do say thatone E. C.

L. W. Mynatt, S. Bissb-moer, J. H. McM.ILI.IAN, G. M. Barham, I. JosErn. THE PARTIES. JrU, Ashby, the deceased, was about tliii .y two or thirty-three years of age. fb. belongs to the family that became illustrious during the war, in the names Dick and Turner Ashby, of Virginia At the outbreak of the war ho was in Knox county, temporarily residing here. Like other young men of that age, lie sought the saddle and the 'lpoi and. He became Colonel of the 2d Tennessee Cavalry, and in that, capaci ty, surrendered with his command to Gen. Sherman. His slayer, E. C. Camp, is a lawyer by profession, and for some three years has lived in Knoxville. Ho - is a man of iio character, and his standing among liwyers has for some time been such, that his recognition has always been cjSestionable. He belongs to that low order of “shysters” that frequent the Police Courts at Chicago and New York. The wonder is that Col. Ashby would have risked his life in such a coatest. THE FUNERAL. jflß From Ike Press & Herald, July 12. The remains of Col. H. M. Ashby j were intered yesterday afternoon at 6 o’clock p. m., in the Gray Cemetery. TM very large number that attended th* remains, sufficiently attested the jjipeet for the deceased. The funeral j ceremonies were conducted by Rev. James Park, of the First Presbyterian Church. We could not gain admit tance, but learn that the Rev. Pastor delivered lessons of wisdom to the iiv ing, Which we trust, was not as “seed gown upon dry ground.” The funeral procession was very large. Many gathered about the grave of Ashby, aniTal! wept that he should have so . The Palladium speaks of a circus olowu “who is a candidate for the jpresidency. This we consider very insulting to Grant, whose exploits in with the monkey and 'mule, hasre been so touchingly described by Gram's venerable parent. The exhibi tion may have been clownisn, but even that would not be a justification of our contemporary. We hope that it will not continue such attacks upon the Radical candidate for the Presidency, Slther openly or covertly. —Hete Haven siegi)tcr. B The New York World published the Ipext morning after the nomination of jsßeymour and Blair, dispatches from ■Jifferent points in thirteen States, au inouncing the holding of large and en :< thusiastic meetings to ratify the nomi ■pations. Such a spontaneous uprising #)i the people in favor of the candidates *f any party has never been witnessed tPn l his country. This simple fact shows Me great popularity of the leaders the |p#mo«rats have ehosen. From Washington. Washington, July 16.— Heat una bated. No signs of rain.

Washington, July 17.—1n the Sen ate last night Senator Hendricks en deavored to recall the bill from the flouse which removes political disabil itiesfrom Radical members of the Geor gia Legislature.

Dawes presented credentials ot Kel logg, Pierce and Buckley, claiming seats as representatives from Alabama, and asked reference to Committee on j Elections. Brooks inquired whether it would not 1 be proper for the committee to inquire whether these gentlemen were elected at a one sided election. Dawes hoped the committee would inquire faithfully as to any matter com mitted to them. They simply made an examination of these credentials to as certain if they were correct and wheth er they presented a prima facie, case. Cullom, of Ilk, asked whether there was any law to prevent electors from all voting on one side if they desired to do so. Brooks replied that he knew of none, but there was a law of Congress pre scribing how these elections should be held, and the people of Alabama had not held their election in conformity to that law. The ctedentials were referred to Com mittee on Elections. bill resumed. Stevens fa- ! vored paying bonds in greenbacks. A wild discussion ensued.

It is expected here the House will recede, j Senate Pacific Railroad Committee j had under consideration to-day a bill to build a railroad from Cairo, 111., to the Rio Grande through Arkansas.

On the evening of the 15th a riot com menced at Millican, on the Central Railroad, composed of about twenty five negroes, led by a white school teacher and negro preacher, named Brooks, attempted to hang a man named Wm. Halliday. White citizens pre vented the execution, and headed by the Sheriff and Bureau Agent, attempt i ed to suppress the mob, which resulted in the death of 10 or 12 negroes. On the 16th numbers increased on | both sides and skirmishing occurred ! during the day. Casualties estimated at 25. A small body of troops arrived late last night and dispersed the rioters, killing 3 negroes. The latter, number- I ing 800 to 500 had fortified themselves three miles from Millican, and refused to lay down their arms until the troops dispersi : shorn. The entire loss was 50 to 00. The difficulty is said to arose from suspicion that a negro loyal leaguer had been hung, but who has been found. From Atlanta.

In the House members Long of Car roll and Nunn of Hancock were found ineligible. During discussion of their ease*, House adjourned. THE FOURTEENTH AHENI»HEKT. Proclamation of the President. The following proclamation lias been issued by the President : Whereas by an act of Congress, enti tled “An act to admit the States of North Carolina, South Carolina, Loui siana, Georgia, Alabama, and Florida to representation in Congress, ” passed on the 25th of Jane, 1868, it is declared that it is the duty of the President, within ten days after receiving official information of the ratification by the Legislature of either of said States of a proposed amendment of the Constitu tion known as article fourteen, to issue a proclamation announcing that fact; And whereas the 6aid act seems to be prospective; And whereas a paper purporting to be a resolution of the Legislature of Flori da, adopting the amendment of the thirteenth and fourteenth articles of the Constitution of the United States, was received at the Department of State on the 16th of June, 1868 prior to the pass age of the act of Congress referred to, which paper is attested by the names of Horatio Jenkins, Jr., as President pro tern, of the Senate, and W. W. Moore, as Speaker of the Assembly, qnd of William L. Apthoop, as Secretary of the Senate, and William Forsyth By num, as Clerk of the Assembly, and which paper is transmitted to the Sec retary of State in a letter dated Execu tive Office, Tallahassee, Florida, June 10,1868,fr0m Harrison Reed, who there- in signs himself Governor; And whereas on the 6th day of July, 1868, a paper was received by the Pres ; ident, which paper being addressed to ■ the President bears date of the 4th of July, 1868, and was transmitted by and under the name of W. W. Holden, who therein writes himself Governor of North Carolina, which paper certifies that the said proposed amendment, known as article fourteen, did pass the Senate and House of Representatives of the Genera! Assembly of North Caroli na, on the 2d day of July instant, and is attested by the names of John H. Boner, or Bower, as Secretary of the House of Representatives, and T. A.

In testimony whereof I have signed these presents with my hand, and have caused the seal of.-the United States to be hereto affixed. Done at the city of Washington, this eleventh day of July, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hun dred and sixty-eight, and of the inde pendence of the United Statfs of America the ninety third. Andrew Johnson. By tbe President: Wm. IT. Seward, Secretary of State. When Grant graduated at West Point in a class of 41, he stood down to the low and disgraceful figure of No. 39. That was next door to dismissal for incompetency. Tho cause of his lack of progress in his studies were bad habits and want of capacity. “Leo,” writing from Washington to the Charleston Courier on the 11th, re ferring to the action ot the National Democratic Convention, says, “The friends of General Hancock and Chief Justice Ohaso are disappointed, but they will, uevertneless, give a cheerful support to the nominees.” The Advertiser says George Clower, (negro,) representative from Monroe county in the Legislature, was on a visit home on Sunday last. In reply to the question as to how they were get ting along, ho said “it would took um six months to git fru up dar purgin de Legislatur on the elibiligity questun.” Wheat and Flour in the West.— Tbe Talbotton Gazette says a merchant of that place has received a letter from a correspondent in Missouri, which states that the wheat crop of the West is larger than ever before known ; that flour was declining in that section, and would continue to decline, as there was a large quantity of old wheat on hand. He said that flour would be shipped to Georgia this season, from St. Louis, at a cost of not more than $8 to $lO per barrel, and it would be impossible for speculators to monopolize the present crop. _ Platform of the Bovs in Blue.— The following is tbe platform of princi ples adopted by the Convention of Sol diers and Sailors at New York: Whereas, A national interchange of views between the members of this Convention and delegates to the Nation al Democratic Convention have fully confirmed us in our previously enter tained opinion of the purity and patri otism of that body, and fully justifies the belief that, in the election of candi dates and the construction of a platform, the Convention will be governed by the spirit of the address adopted by this body on the 6th inst.; therefore, relying upon this belief, be it Resolved, That we will support its nominations for President and Vice President of the United States, and that, on our return borne, we will in duce our comrades in arms to unite with us in yielding to them an earnest support. Horrible Outrage.—A widow lady living some nine miles from this place, was the subject ota horrible outrage on last Friday night. Two negroes, un known to her, applied to her for admis sion to her house on the night stated ; being alone with only a small shild she refused them ; they then broke into the house, seized her, and forcibly outraged her person using threats in case she made any alarm. After succeeding in their horrible purpose, they informed her that they were going to kill her, she begged for time to pray, which was granted her. While she was engaged in what she expected to be her last prayer, one of the negroes said, “she prays too pretty, we won’t kill her.” They then left her, locking her in the house, threatening if she left the house or gave any alarm they would certainly kill her. About two hours afterwards she escaped and made her way to the nearest house, and succeeded in arousing the neighbor hood, several gentlemen then took arms and went in search of the villains; during the day they came in town, and succeeded in arresting a negro who endeavored to escape, and whom it is believed is one of the party. He is safely lodged in jail; the other is still at large, but we hope to hear of his speedy arrest and punishmeut.—Green ville Ala., Advocate, 14f A. Ilayti, in its sixty years of indepen dence, is a fit illustration of the effects of negro rule. In that time, from being one of the fairest and most prolific is lands on the bosom of the ocean, it has become perfectly worthless as a produ cer. Its people have relapsed into bar barism ; the marriage relations is no more regarded than it is among brutes ; Fetish worship and Voudouism have supplanted the ceremonies of the Chris tian Church ; the most cruel excesses are everywhere practiced, and the most beastly crimes sanctioned by custom. Yet in the face of such sickening evi dence of the negro’s incapacity for self government, the control of ten once in dependent American States has been placed in his hands, through the mad ness of fanaticism.— N. 0. Tima. New Warehouse.— One is now be ing built on the site of the bfirned Fontaine Warehouse, near the Alaba ma, by a company of Columbus gentle men. We presume, from the dimen sions, it will hold in the neighborhood of 10,000 bales of cotton. A. M. Allen is to be proprietor. The building will'be r eady for the toning meet- SUNDAY MORNING.JULY 19. The Connection and Extension As sured. The meeting called for yesterday, of the Stockholders of the Mobile and Gi rard Railroad Company was largely at tended, and the proposition presented by the President to provide the means to build the bridge, make the connec tion with the Muscogee road, and lay down the track to the end of the grad ing, met with a hearty response, and we believe all present but two signed the agreement. We trust those stock holders not present will take an early opportunity to place their names to the paper. This measure, when consummated, ! as we learned from President Wadley, will place the road upon its feet, and insure the early completion of the con nection and the extension of the road to the terminus of the grading. His language was : “It is my desire to have the bridge built, the connection made, and at least ten miles of the track laid down by October. ” That is tbe way to talk it. President Wadiey is clearly of the opinion, that when this is done, the earnings of the road will pay expenses, tbe interest on its debt, and 8 per cent, dividends on the remainder of the ; stock held, or 4 per cent, on the whole I stock, besides being able to lay aside a ; snug little sum as a sinking fund to be applied to the gradual extinguishment ; of its debt. The proposition subpitted by Presi dent Wadley will bo fjund in another column. REVOLUTION. In the Radical Congress the cry of Revolution is raised because the Na tional Democratic Platform declares its reconstruction measures “unconstitu tional and void,” and for the further reason that General Blair, tjie candi date for the Vice Presidency, asserts j his opinion that justice demands the j wiping out of the carpet-bag State Gov-1 ernments which have been set up by ; bayonets in the South. The infamous crew that have tied the hands of the President, and turned over to the ten der mercies of Grant and his minions the people of ten States, that have per verted every department of the Govern ment, and indulged in every species of iniquity that lust could desire or power procure, shout “Revolution,” “Revolu tion,” who. the masses of the Ameri can people are. preparing to rise and drive them from the places which they desecrated. '1 hey know full well that the language and sentiment of the Dem ocratic Platform, and the declaration of General Blair, are in strict accordance with the opinion of the Supreme Court j of the United States, which opinion [ would have been promulgated in for j tnal and solemn decision bnt for the j timidity of a portion of that tribunal.— I They know that their whole policy has j been revolutionary, and designed to j subvert the Government and to over- i thiow tbe Constitution, and have cause I to tremble anil fear in the face of that J revolution, which promises to restore ! free government and to bring them to i account for their misdeeds and mal- j practices. Every citizen of intelligence i knows that notwithstanding the clash of arms has ceased, that a revolution has been steadily progressing, n contest between right and wrong, a conflict between principles and license. What but revolution could have overthrown the State Governments of the South ? What but revolution could have en franchised ignorance and disfranchised intelligence? What but revolution could have given the political power of ten I States into the hands of carpet-baggers, j scalawags and negroes ? What but revolution eould have suspended the right of the writ of “habeas corpus” in times of profound peace ? What but revolution could have sent innocent men to dungeons to be tried by military commissions upon testimony suborned by bribery or obtained by torture in sweat boxes ? And what, we ask, but | revolution, stern, immediate and unre lenting, can bring a remedy for these great wrongs, and carry back to the protection of the Constitution a Gov ernment that has been driven to the very verge of Anarchy ? When we say revolution, we mean a revolution of ideas, a thorough but peaceable one— one not accompanied with violence or j bloodshed. If these latter are to be its | attendants, upon the heads of the Radi cal leaders will rest tho fearful respon sibility for all of the suffering which may ensue. They have been rendered callous and desperate by a long career of crime, and may incite violence be fore they will relinquish power. It is the conviction that they are to be met by superior force that has rendered them frantic. This question has been j fully discussed in the United States j Senate. The plans and designs of the j Revolutionists who have nominated: Grant, in the hope that he will use the J sword to retain them in power, have been unmasked and exposed. Senators Davis and Hendricks have served a formal notice upon Sumner, Morton and others, that the National Demo cratic Party do not intend either to be swindled out of their rights in the com ing election, or to be deprived of its results by force. The Jacobins have been notified that, if necessary, force will be opposed to force, violence to violence, and that honor and power must go to him who can strike the sturdiest blow. This timely warning has not been without its effect, and at present indications, point to a vigorous and heated campaign, but to a peaceful . solution of the troubles which afflict the country. But we are satisfied that we neither understate or overstate the de termination of the Democracy of the I West and North, when we say that to a man they are united in the resolve that the power of this Government shall not be controlled by the votes of the ne- , groes of tho South. If the Radicals at tempt in their desperation to play this, the last card left them, they know that their silly cry of revolution now will then become a fearlul reality. The Douglass Patent Cotton Screw.—We were shown a few days ago, the model of a cotton packing press, gotten up by Mr. Douglass, an enterprising cotton planter of this coun ty. It works somewhat after the man ner of the Allums Press, but is materi ally different in construction from that press. It appears to be a very substan. tial affair. The screw runs the follow block up and the bale is taken out at the top of the press. One great advan tage in this is that there is no obstruc tion to the tramping in of the cotton, the top of the box being free from ob structions. One, and the great recom mendation of this press, is the cheap ness of the screw and other iron work. It is furnished by the foundry of Porter & Fell, in this city, at S6O. Planters having presses to build would do well to call at the foundry of these gentlemen and examine the model. See advertisement of Porter & Fell, in another column. The radicals, in a spirit of infamous calumny, say that Mr. Seymour inher its a propensity to madness. He won’t be half so mad after November as they WIU. Meeting of Stockholders Mobile ! and Girard Railroad.—A large num j her was'present in the Company’s of fice in Girard yesterday at 11 a. m. No count was taken; yet thero was no doubt but that the majority of the stock was represented. On motion of Col. R. L. Mott, Homer Blackmon wa3 elected Chairman and J. M. Frazer, Secretary. By request of the Chairman, W. M. Wadley, President of the road, stated ; the objects of the meeting. He said that the Directors had held a meeting to conform with tho instructions of the i Stockholders to employ what means the ! road could command to build the river ’ bridge and extend the road. To effect ! these ends and to save the road from. the sheriff, recourse was found to be | necessary to some large monied corpo ration, and uone offered any hope of i assistance except the Central Railroad j and Banking Company. A committee i of three had been appointed to go to Savannah and ascertain what could be done. They had returned with some conditions, (published below) which the Directors approved. This meeting had been called to ascertain the opin ions of stockholders and to obtaiu their ratification of the Directors action. It was an individual matter,and each stock holder must sign the bond himeelf. He thought almost every stockholder would do so. He then read the following bond and resolutions of the Central Railroad Company’s Directory: Know all men by these presents, that each of us who signs this instrument of writing, does for himself, authorize and empower R. L. Mott, L. T. Downing, Homer Blackmon, Trustees, or any two of them, to transfer on the books of the Mobile & Girard Rail Road Company, one half of the number of shares of stock of said Company, there standing in our names, respectively, to The Cen tral Rail Road and Banking Company of Georgia, for the purposes and on the • terms expressed and set forth in the j action and resolution of the said The Central Rail Road and Banking Com pany of Georgia, taken and passed 7th July, 1868, as follows, to wit: On application of a committee from the Mobile and Girard Rail Road Cos., j for an endorsement of its bonds to com- j plete the bridge at Columbus, and to extend the road to or near the Orion road in Pike county, it was Resolved, That this Company will endorse 2d Mortgage bonds ot the Mo bile & Girard Rail Road Cos., to the extent of $250,000, in addition to those already indorsed, upon condition that one half the present stock of the Mobile and Girard Rail Road shall be bona fide transferred to this Company, with all the rights and privileges of other stock holders, to be held as security for the j payment of said bonds, as well as all others now issued. Ii being understood and agreed that when all the bonds shall. have been fully paid, this stock shall be retransferred to the Mobile and Girard Rail Road Cos., and cancelled, or re transferred to the stockholders, at their option. The other one half of the capital stock retained by tbe present stockhold ers to be made a prefered eight per cent stock, whenever the earnings of the road, over and above the the expenses and interest on debt, shall enable it to pay that amount or any part thereof. Any surplus over and above that; amount to be made a sinking fund for j the payment of all the bonds outstand- | ing of the Mobile and Girard Rail Road Company. Said transfers to be made so soon as i the Central Railroad and Banking Cos. of I Georgia shall have endorsed tho bonds of the Mobile and Girard Rail Road Cos., as provided for in said action and reso lution. The power hereby given to trans fer, is irrevocable, except with the consent of the said Central Rail Road and Banking Company of Georgia. After the reading, various questions were asked and explanations made. All appeared satisfied that the proposi-1 tions were for the best interests of the road and the pecuniary advantage of. stockholders. Mr. Wadley stated that in eighteen months, if the conditions were accepted, the road would pay the I preferred stockholders 8 per cent, divi j dends. By that time the annual earn- , ings of the road would be $230,000, j probably $250,000 and it could be run ; for $125,000. By that time the bonded ■ and floating debt could be reduced to $700,000 —interest $56,000 This would, ; taking the lowest estimate of earnings, j leave $49,000 surplus—which would be | SI,OOO more than would be required to pay 8 per cent, on the $600,000 —the I present stock reduced one half. Non-1 signers, of course, would receive only | 4 per cent. On motion of Col. Downing, the fol-1 lowing resolution was adopted, with j but two dissenting voices: Resolved, That this meeting adopt ! and ratify the action of the Board of I Directors of the Mobile and Girard ' Railroad Company, in reference to res olutions passed by the Central Railroad and Banking Company relating to its endorsement of the bonds of tlie road, and recommend to the several stock holders to transfer their stock in pursu ance of the said resolutions. All present, on motion, proceeded to Bign the agreements. The city of Co lumbus, representing 2,830 shares, thro’ her delegates, signed. President Wad ley desired to get as many signatures at that time as possible, that the Direc tors might feel authorized at the meet ing that afternoon to make advertise ments to build the bridge and make the extension. The bridge must bo com pleted and trains run ten miles further by the first of next October. This ex tension would bring 20,000 additional bales of cotton over the road. President Wadley presented the de sirability of getting rid of stock which is of the fractional part of SIOO, so that shares might consist of even amounts. He did this to save an immense amount of clerical labor. Several plans were proposed, but the meeting took no ac tion upon it. Among other measures to effect this end was the proposal of Dr. Dawson that the Company buy these fractional parts of SIOO at a. fixed valuation and give tickets over the road therefor. All were in favor of getting rid of these fractional amounts, and making each share SIOO. This, how ever, is also an individual matter. Meeting then adjourned. The instrument to be signed can be found at the banking house of John King that ci y stockholders may have the opportunity to sign it. All are urged to do so as early as possible. What President Johnson Thinks op the Nomination.—The Washing ton special of the Louisville Courier, in a letter to that paper on the 13th says : The President, in conversation to day with several prominent Democrats, spoke in high terms of Seymour, of his purity of character and integrity. He thought the nomination of Han cock would have possibly polled a greater number of Conservatives, but that the liberties of the country were at stake, and the duty of all was to give a hearty support to the nominees of the Convention. There was no half way ground. So far from being chagrined at the result, the President, with characteris tic modeety, declared that he had received more public honors than he deserved, and now all that remained to him was to look to the interests of the country. Thb Drouth.—We have made ex tensive enquiries about the crops in this section, and know that the corn crop is hopelessly lost. In some isolated neigh borhoods there has been partial showers and there will be some corn made, but we think this section would come far short of a supply if the seasons were abundant from this time forward.—Ope •»* Mmrtkr, if. BRAND DEMONSTRATION. Macon Ablaze With Enthusiasm ! Torchlights, Transpar&nces and Pyro technics Generally ! One Hundred Guns for Seymour and Blair—An imating and Eloquent Speeches. city last night about 9 o’clock was in a pefect blaze of enthusiasm.— The greatest political demonstration ever made in this section came off. More than one thousand transparen cies and torches wer in line, some of magnificant description and beauty.— Five bands of music and thousands of people were on the streets and in the line of procession. After traversing the principal streets, the immense throng assembled in front of the City Hall, where soul-stirring speeches were made by several of our best orators, among them John B. Weems, Esq., Col. L. N. Whittle and several others. Hundreds of ladies were on the street and in their carriages, witnessing the brilliant and splendid display, and seemed to be enthused with the excite ment of the occasion. The deep roar of cannon, the rattle of fire crackers, the shouts of the multi tude, tho brilliant illuminations, etc., made up, altogethsr, one of the grandest displays ever witnessed in the city. The masses are aroused in this sec tion, and are determined to do their duty from now until the election. As we write, the names of Seymour and Blair are ascending amid the wildest huzzas, in front of our office, and as wo look up Second street, wc never saw a more animating scence. If Radicalism did not quake last night, it was because there was none about to see and hear what was going on. It is doomed, and next November will witness its com plete and disastrous overthro. Photograph op the Georgia Leg islature.—The following Photograph of the Georgia Legislature is from the pen of the editor of the Athens Watch man, who has been up to the Capital taking a look at things. He says: In the Senate, as at present constitu ted, the Radicals have a very 3niall ma jority, while in the House the Demo crats have a majority of 12—securing a small majority on joint ballot. In the Senate, so far as our own per sonal observation extended, the noto rious Alpeoria Bradley, negro, seemed to be The most prominent speaker on the Radical side. On the Democratic side are several “men of mark”—Hoi combe, Candler, Welborn, Nuunally and others. There are only three ne groes, we believe, in the Senate. In the House, woolly pates aro numerous on the left hand side of the aisle as you advance from the entrance to the Speaker’s desk. The Radical side of the aisle presents the appearance of mosaic work —some white, some jet black, some copper, ,and some bright mulatto. Mat. Davis is the best look ing negro in the House, because he has less negro blood in him than any of the rest, interspersed among the negroes are bummers and scalawags—some ot them fanatics from necessity, as may be seen by the shape of their heads.— Narrow, high foreheads, hatchet faces, sharp noses, thin lips: how could they help being fanatics, and therefore Radi icals. There are others who have nothing of the fanatic iu their compo sition, and although voting with the Radical party now, really have no busi ness there, as they are not. radicals at heart. We have some hope of seeing them leave the foul concern, as the ses sion advances.

Upon his arrival at Bt, Louis a a few days since, an enthusiastic indi vidual preesented him with a bar bill for $8 50 contracted when Samual Hi ram Ulysses was a drunken loafer about that city. Personal. —We learn from a private letter that Hon. Charles J. Jenkins and family are in Halifax, N. 8., and that Jefferson Davis and family were expect ted there this week, to remain during the Summer. Quite a number of South erners have sought Nova Scotia this Summer. —Augusta Con. An Ueiquitous Individual.— The Montgomery Advertiser says that Willard Warner, who is so anxious to be a “big man,” runs a farm in Autau ga, votes in Ohio, claims a position on Sherman’s staff, holds office in Mont gomery, and runs for Secretary of the Senate in Washington, as a citizen of Indiana, or some other State. An English paper publishes a curious list of the largest capitalists known to exist in the world. The first is an American manufacturer, who has an income of ten millions; the second a Russian boyard, and the third an En glishman, possessing immense territo ries in the East Indies. The Roths- j childs only occupy the number eleven j on the list. Seats for the Ladies. —The Atlan- j ta Era has been requested to state that j seats have been arranged tor the ladies j in the House of Representatives, which J body they are respectfully invited to attend. We are disposed to think that white ladies who entertain any respect for , themselves, will hardily risk the chan- I ces of being insulted by the filing in j with them, of those of African scent, who consider themselve specially privi leged. _ London, July 17. —The Prince of i Wales and the Duke of Edinburg visit- j ed Farragut’s fleet.

Ir. answer to a j question asking lor information, ne said j he had already sent a communication ■ to the United States on the matter of naturalization, the substance of which was that the British Ministry is ready : to accept the American views of the question. He therefore thought a mis- j understanding between the two coun tries impossible. Stanley also stated he had declined to make a treaty at present, as the royal commission is still considering the generel subject, and for 1 the additional reason tnat time will not permit the passage of a bill the present session of Parliament. Cbofs in Upson.—We have seen a gentleman from Upson who gives a most gloomy account of crop prospects in that county.

The Senate met at 10 o’clock, a. m , pursuant to adjournment, and was call ed to order by tho President. Prayer by B. B. Hinton. Tbe roll was called and the Journal of Wednesday read. A communication was receivd from his Excellency. Gov. Bullock, regarding the ineligibility of certain members. Mr. Candler moved that the comma nication and accompanying documents be laid upon the table. Motion adopted. Mr. Smith, Chairman of the Commit tee on eligibility, made a report. Tho committee iu their report find none in eligible. Mr. Higby moved to recommit the re port. Mr. Smith stated that the committee had given the report their closest atten tion, and in a few remarks sustained it. He hoped that the Senate would duly, properly and soberly consider the report, and adopt the same, in order to move forward in the work of the Semite. Mr. Campbell (col.) hoped that the report would be re committed and sus tained his position in a long speech up on the necessity of putting into the bauds of the committee the documents of the Governor. It was showing discourtesy to the Governor in not presenting them to the committee. Mr. Candler, in a few pertinent re marks, stated that the Committee had procured every document wltn reference to the status of members, and find that there is not sufficient evidence to debar from the Senate any member thereof. — All members were eligible under the Constitution of the State, and be hoped the Senate would adopt the report.— Every member had sworn to facts bo forc the Committee, which facts made them eligible. lie thought discussion on the matter was unnecsessary. Sir. Higby moved tho previous ques tion. Lost. Mr. Adkins said that it was the duty of the Senate to pay proper respect to the Governor, and ho desired the re committal of the report. Mr. Burns said that as every member had taken the Registration oath, they were entitled ta seat in the Senate. lie hoped the members would pause before they turned out a single member, and consider the result of such a procedure. He wished the members to meet him squarely and fairly on the question, ami decide the question to day. He said that if such a course was adopted, to turn out members lawfully elected, lie stood, for one, ready to make political war against such measures. Mr. Brock thought the Senate should be thoroughly purged, in order to enact any legal laws. He had no doubt the Committee were honest in their convic tions, but owing to the documents sent in by His Excellency, urged re com- mittal. Mr. Hinton said that the Committee had thoroughly investigated the rase of every member, and find them all eligi ble to seats. Why give medicine to a well man ? He thought it bad enough to administer it to sick men to say noth ing of a man in sound health. He hoped that ii prejudices existed among mem bers, tney would bury them, and in a kind feeling harmonize the actions of the Senate. Mr. Smith, Chairman of the commit tee, in a speech of some length, sustain ed the report. The country needed rest from Beven years wrangling. lie wished it quited, and called upon each member to use every means to effect it. He intended to meot the Senators in a spirit of kindness and harmony. His opinions were based upon conscientious motives, and no power could swerve him in his convictions. Mr. Adkins moved the previous question. Carried. Upon the main question of recommit tal, the yeas and nays were called, j which resulted as follows : yeas 13, nays ; 22. The motion prevailed. Mr. Adkins read a minority report. | Also one from Mr. Higby, which last report excluded one-forth of the Sen ato. A motion was then made to adjourn, which was lOBt. Mr. Bpeed moved the adoption of the majority report. Mr. Higby moved that the report of the minority be adopted. Mr. Higby’s report are Messrs. Richardson, Mc- Whorter, McCutcben, J. Griffin, Jones, Moore, Harris, Graham, and officer J. Mills, journalizing clerk; also, E. Thorn, door keeper, who are claimed to be ineligible. Mr. Candler, in a few forcible re marks, defended the cases of Messrs. Richardson, McCutchen and others of the accused, stating that they were un flinching Union men during the war,. and did not aid or abet the Confederate cause one jot or tittle. In the case of Mr. McCutchen, he stated that ho (Mr. McC.) had to call upon the Union army to protect him from violence, with the Union flag planted over his head. He believed that the gentlemen accused were conscientious in their views dur ing the war, for they all evaded the musket in the field, and used every endeavor to keep away from the“front.” Upon the calling of the report of the majority, it was adopted. Mr. Harris offered the following reso lution. Resolved, That tho action of the Sen ate on the eligibility of its members, to gether with the report and the testimo ny accompanying the report, be com municated to his Excellency, the Pro visional Governor, and through him to Major General Meade, informing his Excellency that the Senate, having investigated tho eligibility of its mem bers, ask his approval of their action, and if approved, the Senate report itself duly organized and ready to proceed to business, and receive any communica tion his Excellency may be pleased to make. The resolution was adopted. The Senate then adjourned to 10 o’clock to-morrow morning. HOUSE. Friday, July 17, 1868. House met pursuant to adjournment. Speaker McWhorter in the chair. Prayer by Rev. J. Spillman. Roll called. Proceedings of previous day read and adopted. Mr. O’Neal, of Lowndes, Chairman of the Committee on the eligibility of members, submitted a majority report, as follow: Mr. Speaker—The undersigned ma jority of* the Committee to whom was referred the investigation of the eligi bility of the members of the House, beg leave to report that they have ex amined, under oath, all the members except , and of those examined they find two ineligib’e, viz: W. T. j McCullough, of Jones county, and J. M. Nunn, of Glascock county, and rec ommend that they be so pronounced by the House, that their seats -may be vacated to bo occupied by whomsoever : may be legally entitled thereto. Our reasons for this report .are to be found j in their affidavits and the law. In a j majority of cases the members having, ; by their oaths, rendered themselves eligible it was not thought necessary to j reduce their answers to writing, whilst | in a number of cases in which the Com raittee had doubts, it was thought ad visable, all which will freely appear by the affidavits herewith presented. And we further recommend that the final »c tion of this House, together with all the reports, as well as all the affidavits, be transmitted without delay to His Excellency, the Governor, that he may commit the same to the General Com manding. In reference to such members as have not been before us, we can only say that we will report thereon as soon as ; possible. Jno. W. O’Neal, J. E Bryant Augustus H. Lee. Mr. Shumate,Democrat, of Whitfield, and Bryant, Radical, of Richmond, each made minority reports. We regret that our space precludes their insertion. The report of Bryant finds Mr. Long, of Carroll ineligible. Cause assigned— Mr. Long was a Justice of the Inferior Court before the war, and during the war held the office of County Treasurer. This Mr. Bryant construes—giving aid and comfort to the enemies of the Uni ted States. In the consideration of these reports, the speaker decided that the parties whose eligibility was involved could not vote. This decision was appealed from, but the House sustained it. . Ur. C*l4w«ll, tt Troup, offered t res- olution that the reports be submitted to the Provisional Governor. Withdrawn. Mr. Crawford, of Bartow, offered a resolution that the House proceed at once to investigate the cases of ineligi bility reported be tho committee, and that the case of Johu Long, of Carroll, be tirst taken up. Mr. Bryant of Richmond, said in substance that at first he regretted hav ing been placed upon the committee, but was now glad of it. It had given him an opportunity to more fully un derstand the true status of gentlemen upon the Democratic side of tho House. Ho had supposed at first that they Intended to offer factious opposition to reconstruction, but was now satisfied that such was not the case. The deli cate question now under discussion should be approached in a proper spirit, and he belioved that it would be by both sides. He asked gentlemen to accord to him the same honesty of pur pose that he was willing to concede to them. Iu conclusion Mr. Bryant made rem irks in opposition to the adoption of the minority report. Mr Shumate, of Whitfiield, followed at some length in roply to Mr. Bryant, and in support of the minority report. Ho occupied the floor up to the hour of adjournnent.
