1 A Brazen Lie. —As we expected,
the statement of Old Bard of the Era,
to the effect that Mr. Stephens aided in
the passage of the 14th Article turns out
to be a brazen lie. Bard tells such quite
A* often and as easy as Forney.

K Got ms Reward.— One of the Hop- j
kins family has met his just reward.—
He murdered a negro prostitute, and at
tempted to murder Jno. E. Ilayes, Esq. i
of the Savannah Republican. His
friend nnd patron Gen. Meade would
not permit him to be tried for these j
y&crimes. Fecliug secure of military pro- I
he concluded to murder young
m Russel. Fortunately for the country
B Russel settled his account in a summary
7? manner.
. A. We understand the Military in Mont 1
gomery have gone through the farce of 1
% arresting Morse, the murderer of Thom-
K as, in Choctaw county, and taken his
Si bond in tho sum of SI2OO for his appear-
Bance before the Circuit Court of Choc
B taw county. When Ryland Randolph,
B who was charged only with assaulting
a negro, voluntarily presented himself
■ before the same military authority, and
■ called for an investigation of the affair,
Hhe was refused bail. The difference—
f Morse is a Radical, and killed a Demo
s crat; Randolph was a Democrat, and i
|. assaulted a Radical negro. What a |
B farce.
sat- United States Senators from Ala- j
RAMA. — Tho Montgomery Mail says the j
™ two carpet-baggers elected by the ne- ;
groes and mulattoes of tho Alabama
r, Legislature to the United States Senate
■ —George E. Spencer and Willard War
ncr—the former is of Nebraska, and the
B latter of Ohio. Nobody in Alabama i
I knows anything about them, except j
H that Warner came to Montgomery coun J
I ty about three years ago. In Ohio he i
1 is said to have served in the State Sen- |
§, ate. We would be glad for the local j
p paper of tho county from which he came j
■ to tell us why he left there.
B All we know about Spencer is, that ‘
■ he was one of those who swore that the
If negroes were prevented from voting in j
B Lowndes county, on account of the icy !
B waters of Big Swamp, which was about
as cold blooded a falsehood as ever veg- {
“ itated in the brain of any carpet bagger ]
from the frigid zones. How Spencer
came to Alabama we discover from the !
Omaha Herald, of the 14th, which says i
that he left that place in 1861, as a sut
ler of First Nebraska regiment.
JLC The niggers and mulattoes at the!
' 'fcapitol kissed the sutler when he was
elected to the seat once honored by
■jjpClay, Lewis, Fitzpatrick and King.
* The Radicals have a scheme on foot
in She Legislature of Alabama to elect j
Ibeetors for President by that body. J
The -scheme is meeting with some op
jiosiiion from correspondents in the
Radical organ in Montgomery. Hav
jug the power in their own hands, how
and knowing if submitted to the
graio of the people they will be defeated,
tl is highly probable this miserable sub
terfuge will be adopted. Give them
rope and they will be their ojwn execu
tioners. Their reign must necessarily
be terrible—but the more terrible, the j
■hotter their reign, and the more coals
they are heaping on their own heads.
This move is the best evidence that the
carpet-baggers and scalawags have lost
confidence in the colored voters of Ala ,
barna. The Mail thus pays its respects j
Jo the movement:
t '“Let the people of the North under
Stand that the Legislature of Alabama!
Will select the eight Presidential Elec
tors for this State, and will not submit j
the election to the people even under the
monstrous disfranchising laws. They
know that the negroes arc for peace and
friendship with the whites, and will
Vote for Seymour and Blair. They dare :
(not trust them, and therefore the Legis- |
Jature will take tko election in its own
bands. This is openly acknowledged
by the Radical leaders. There is no
doubt that the Southern Legislatures .
bave received instructions from Wush-
Jfegton not to permit the Southern peo
j>le to vote for Presidential electors, but ■
to take the matter in their own hands, j
Men ok the North and West, keet !
IN mind that the present Legislature of'
Alabama teas elected under a Constitu
tion which was clearly defeated and re- \
'iected by thirty thousand majority, ac
wording to the terms of the Reconstruction
Acts, and that it has no validity, and ,
that this invalid body, the creatures of ‘
<an arbitrary Congress, fearing to trust
the people, have determined to cast the
•eight votes of Alabama for the Radical
ti candidate .”
| A bill was introduced in the Senate
i! on Friday, to consolidate the offices oi
Secretary of State and Surveyor General
of Georgia.
A resolution was introduced in tho
same body to go into the election of
State House officers next Thursday. A
motion was made to amend, by adding
the election of United States Senators
on tho same day. Both resolutions
were laid on the table.
A resolution reported by the Judicia
ry Committee and passed the House of
Representatives, orders the pay of the
scalawag members just admitted from
the States of Arkansas, North and
South Carolina, Florida and Alabama,
from the date of their election as mem
bers of the Fortieth Congress. Happy
scalawags they will receive about
.hree thousand dollars each for a few
ays wrvioe
RETURN OF THE PRISONERS.
By a dispatch from the counsel of the
Columbus Prisoners, we are informed
that these gentlemen will be returned
to this place by train of this evening.
We say returned, for notwithstanding
the paper order of Meade, announcing
that Military law had given way to the
Civil in this State, they are to be brought
here under military guard, and are to
be compelled to give bond in the amount
of two thousand dollars each to a led
eral Captain, for their appearance to
answer any charge that the authorities
of the scalawag and carpet bag Govern
ment recently established may bring
against them. This being done, it may
be expected that wo shall have no more
of this disgraceful ami qutrageous pro
ceedings. These gentlemen were car
ried away from their homes, leaving
behind them the conviction in the
minds of their friends and fellow-citi
zens, that they were innocent of the
charges alleged against them. The
limited investigation held before a mili
tary tribunal has satisfied all who have
noticed the proceedings, that they were
the victims of the most devilish and
malignant plot that has ever disgraced
the history of this country. But still
they come in bonds, under guard, in
the control of the military, and with
charges still resting against them. Un
der the circumstances then, it will be
manifestly imprudent and improper for
our people to tender them the formal
reception and congratulation which :
would have been accorded them under
other and different circumstances. The
lime has not yet arrived when a public
demonstration may and should be made
here to trumpet their innocence and
vindication to the world, together with
the confusion and disgrace of their per
secutors, and we trust they will be j
received in dignified silence. This will
carry disappointment to many whose !
hearts are swelling to do honor to those :
who have suffered in a common calam
ity, and who have maintained Southern
maDhood and honor under trial and
torture, but it is important and neces
sary to the prisoners and the commu
nity that no demonstration should he
made.
So sure as civil law shall again pre
vail in this distracted land, and that a
just God reigns in the Heavens above,
we shall have occasion to rejoice at the
redemption of our friends and fellow
citizens, and at the condign punishment
that will be inflicted upon the chief
conspirators who sought their blood, if
flight or suicide should not place them
beyond the reach of the gallows.
The Constitutional Amendment.
-Senator-Sherman’s joint resolution to
declare the constitutional amendment
ratified by the votes of tho carpet-bag
Legislatures is not held by its friends
to require tbe approval of the President.
Mr. Lincoln returned a similar paper,
with the opinion that he had nothing,
properly, to do with it; and the Radi
cals will, probably, follow this prece
dent. If the President’s assent were
deemed necessary to this resolve, tho
waiting for a veto to repass it would
keep Congress here some two weeks
longer; but our present information is
that they will not wait for it. In this
connection, it may be remarked that all
this work of declaring tho constitu
tional amendment passed, is simply a
part of the revolutionary violence of the
Radical party, which has not been at
tended with bloodshed only because the
people are waiting for the hour to arrive
when they may crush them at the
ballot box, and thus restore order and
peace under the a’gis of the Constitu
tion. —National Intelligencer ,

Whereas, Official information has
been received at these Headquarters
from the Governor elect of the State of
Georgia, that the legislature of said
State, elected under the provisions of
General Orders No. <59 and 40, current
series, from these Headquarters, has
assembled and complied with the requi
sition of the act of Congress, which be
came a law June 25th, 1808, entitled
“An act to admit the States of. North
Carolina, South Carolina, Louisiana,
Georgia, Alabama and Florida, to rep
resentation in Congress ; and whereas
said act states that on compliance with
the conditions therein set forth by any
State, tho officers of said State, duly
elected and qualified under the consti
tution thereof, shall be inaugurated
without delay ; It is therefore ordered,
I. That all civil officers, holding
office in the State, whether by military
appointment or by failure to have suc
cessors qualified, shall paomptly yield
their offices and turn over to their duly
elected and qualified successors, all
public property, archives, books, re

mander of the sub-District of Georgia,
is officially notified of the inauguration
of the State Government elect, military
authority under the Acts of Congress,
known as the Reconstruction Laws,
will be at an end in said State, and it is

State, or the persons and property of
the citizens thereof.
III.—On tlio inauguration of the civil
government, all prisoners held in cus
tody or by bonds for offences against
the civil law, will be turned over to
proper civil authority. In the mean
time writs of habeas corpus from Uni

obeyed and the decisions conformed to.
Writs from State Courts will have re

One-llalf of the Ticket Upon the
Other—Colfax Upon Gen. Grant.—
We find tho following going the rounds,
and think there is a great deal of good
sense and justice in the reasons assign
ed by Speaker Colfax why Gen. Grant
should not be elected President:
Just before tho Fall elections, Colfax
and his friends prepared a “circular,”
in which they gave sixteen reasons why
the Radicals should not run Grant few
President. We give a few of the rea
sons, to show what opinion Colfax has
of Grant;
The first is that Grant “ha? all he de
serves at the hands of the American
people.”
2. “He could not deliver an inaugur
al address.”
4. “Because at this peculiar period in
the history of our great country, we
need an able and experienced statesman
at the White House.”
7. “Because he (Grant) has proved a
failure in every capacity outside of the
military.”
8. “He claims to have no knowledge
of political or national affairs.”
12. “We have one hundred better
men for President.”
These were very good reasons then,
and they are equally good now why
the people should support the Democrat
ic candidate for President.

A Cheap Attempt to Condone
for Crime. —The Legislature, after
having adopted the fourteenth article,
thus coolly and deliberately perpetra
ting an outrage upon the virtue and
intelligence of the State, and delivering
its political power into the hands of
paupers, criminals and vagabonds, at
tempts to condone for the crime by the
passage of a resolution begging Con
gress to remove the disabilities imposed
by the amendment lrom all citizens of
Georgia. Congress will pay about as
much attention to the resolution as it
does to the President of the United
States and the Constitution of the coun
try. Joseph Brown, Governor per Bul
lock, strikes the key note In his late
message. He proposes the “removal
of disabilities as fast as relations to the
General Government will justify.”—
The meaning of that is, that disabilities
will be removed from those, and those
only, who will join the Radicals and
agree to support Grant and Collax.—
Disabilities have been removed from
some men who do not sympathize with
the designs and doings of the Radicals,
but this fact was not known in a single
instance to those who voted for the re
moval. Anyone who will forswear his
manhood, black his face, go back on
his kindred, friends and race, can com
mend himself to Congressional favor.
It can be reached by no other process.
Arrived and Released. —The “Co
u minis prisoners,” Chipley, Kjrkseey, j
Barber, Bedell, Duke, Wood, Roper, i
Hudson, and Wiggins, attended by
military escort, reached the Columbus
Depot yesterday afternoon at 6 o’clock.
Quite a number of the friends of tho
prisoners and influential citizens were
assembled to welcome them and sign
the required bond. They were at once
escorted into the Muscogee Rail Road
office, where the bond was signed and
the prisoners released. After congratu
lations, they retired to their homc-s. A
portion of the witnesses also returned
with the prisoners. xVlthough no unu- !
sual demonstrations were made at the
depot, the crowd gave evident indica
tions of pleasure at the return of our ,
innocent and injured citizens.
Columbia and Augusta Railroad. !
—We are pleased to learn that track
laying on this Road is progressing rap
idly. President Johnson, who has
been sojourning in our city for a few
days, informs us that forty-one miles of
iron have been laid—four miles on the
line near the South Carolina railroad, i
at Graniteville, and thirty-seven miles i
on the Columbia end. A contract has
been made with the Scranton Iron 1
Works of Scranton, Pa., for the deliv- j
cry of the whole of the iron requisite by
the first of October, and the iron will be
laid down as fast as received. There:
is hut little doubt but the whole line
from Graniteville to Columbia will be
completed and running by the first of
November. Indeed the President is
already extending an invitation to
stockholders to a free ride over the road
at the next annual Convention in No
vember.
The line from South Carolina Rail
Road junction to Augusta has been
surveyed, and the contracts let. The I
distance is a little less than twelve !
miles. It is expected that this part of!
the work, grading and sunerstructure
will be completed by next New Year’s i
day.
We are informed that the bonds of

but ali over the country— and “their 1
name is legion.” The health of Mr.
Bell is about as usual, being afflicted j
with partial paralysis, which greatly
affects his speech and renders his enun-1
ciation somewhat indistinct. Iu reply
to a question from his visitor as to what
he thought of the nomination of the
New York Convention, Colonel Bell
remarked that he was delighted with it. i
The selection was eminently wise. He
regretted that he was physically disa
bled from aetive participation in the
canvass. When asked about the coudi- l
lion of his health, Mr. Bell answered, j
with emphasis, that, although much en
feebled by disease, he hoped yet to live I
long enough to witness the disenthrall-!
ment of Tennessee and to die a free
man. —Nashville Banner, 18<7t.
The good work goes bravely on in j
Mississippi. The Jackson Clarion says:
“We learn from the Oktibbeha New ;
Era, that at West Point, a few days J
ago, on the occasion of a Democratic j
jubilee, where addresses were delivered j
by Col. Reynolds and Capt. Houston, |
one hundred and ninety-five freedmen, j
who voted the Radical ticket, at the
late election, acknowledged their error,
‘professed strong faith in the Democra
cy, and were admitted into full mem
bership into our Democratic club, took
badges and received certificates of their
membership.’ ”
A like disposition of the colored voters
in the adjoining State of Alabama, has
so alarmed the carpet-baggers and seal- j
awags in the Legislature of that State,
that they are now seriously considering ;
the propriety of not trusting the election 1
Electors to them in November.
The Weather—Crops.— The long
drout, of nearly nine weeks, was broken

Under no circumstances can more than
half a crop be realized, if that much.— 1
Some fields will not make an ear. The
drought and heat has been unpreedented |
—the thermometer, through most of the
past week, ranged above one hundred
degrees in theshade—producing several
sun-strokes. Even many of our forest ;

C»rd from “Colnmbns Prisoners.”
Account of their Arrest, Imprisonment,
Treatment, S-c.
July 25, 1868.
Upon resuming our personal liberty,
we, the undersigned, known as the Co
lumbus prisoners, deem it proper to
publish the following brief account of
our arrest and confinement by the
military authorities. During .the night
of the 30’,h of March, Geo. W. Ashburn
was assassinated in a low negro brothel
in Columbus, Georgia. On the 6tli day
of April thirteen citizens were arrested
by Capt. Mills of the U. S. Army. On
the 10th they were released under bond,
four of this number have never been
rearrested. The man Mills stated that
he did not know the charge against the
party arrested but no one believed him,
and the fact is only mentioned to show
the character of the proceedings. On
the 14th day of May four arrests were
made, on the 24th four, oa the 2nd of
June four more, on the 16th seven,
followed the next day by two others.
On the 24th another, and the last arrest
occurred. These arrests were made by
the order of Gen. Meade. Several of
the undersigned have in their possession
written orders which show this fact.
The arrests were made without warrant,
affidavit or charge, No preliminary
examination was held. We were kept
in total ignorance of the ex parte evi
dence against us, and the names of our 1
accusers were concealed from us. No
one who has followed the trial will
be surprised at this apparent' neglect. ,
While we were clamoring for the
charges against us, Joe Brown, Whitley,
Maj. Smyth and others were suborning
Betz, Marshal], Benuett and Amanda
Patterson. The evidence for the prose
cution acknowledges that disclosures
were made tinder threats of imprison
ment. This is bad enough, but a worse
feature is that the date of these disclo
sures is placed by tho witnesses them
selves subsequent to the arrest of a ma
jority of the prisoners. The question
naturally arises upon what foundation
were the arrests based ? Os the twenty
two persons arrested on and since the
14th of May, four were suborned by tor
tury, bribery and threats. Nine, after
confinement in felons' cells and much
suffering, were released without any
exp!ana. on whatever. The remaining
nine are .Ue signers of this card. The
prisoners ; rrcsted in May were at Fort
Pulaski boh -e they were removed to
Atlanta. Tl; re cells were as dark, as
dangerous, without ventillatioa, and
but 4 feet by 7. No bed or blankets
were furnished. The rations consisted
of a slice of fat pork three times
each week, and beef 100 unsound
to eat the remaining days. A piece of
bread for each meal, soup for dinner
and coffee for breakfast, finished the
bill of fare. An old oyster can was
given each prisoner, and in this vessel
both coffee and soup were served. It
may be said that the soldiers received
nothing better, but these citizens were
not soldiers, and their friends were able,
willing and anxious to give them every
comfort; they were denied the privilege.
Refused all communication with their
friends, relatives or counsel, they were
forced to.live in these horrid ceils night
and day, prostrated by heat, and mad
dened by myriads of musquitoes. The
calls of nature were attended, to in a
bucket which was removed but once in
twenty four hours.
At McPherson Barracks we were
placed in cells 5 feet 11 inches wide by
10 feet long. These cells were after
wards divided, reducing their width to
2 {two) feet 10 (ten) inches. This is
terrible, but true. Upon the arrival of
the officer sent from Washington to in
vestigate the arrests, the partitions were
removed. Neither bed or bedding was
furnished for from two to five days.—
We were not permitted to see our
friends, family or counsel until after
memorials to Congress had aroused the
whole country to the enormity of the
outrage. Even after this, our letters,
breathing the affection and sympathy
of a wife or mother, were subjected to
inspection. The prison sink was im
mediately at our cell doors and emitted
a stench that was horrible.
At times when some humane soldier
was willing to transcend his orders and
give us a breath of fresh air to soothe
our distended bursting veins, w T e would j
ask him to close, the door, preferring to
risk suffocation rather than endure the
intolerable smell.
During all this time we were ignor-!
ant of the charges against us. Os course
we accepted the common rumor that
our arrest grew out of the murder of
Ashburn, but after our counsel was
permitted to visit U3 no definite iine of
defense couid be planned in the absence
of all specifications. We were furnish
ed with a copy of the charges against
us on the 27th day of June, our trial
having been set for the 29th. The in
tervening day was Sunday, and we
were 140 miles from the scene of the
murder and the residence of our wit
nesses.
Several of the undersigned never saw
the detective Whitley until weeks after
their arrest. When they did meet him
he never presumed to treat thc-m with
disrespect.
Recent developments, new to us, have
shown him to be infamous, and his
treatment of suborned witnesses will be
proven by those who know the facts.
Our friends and the press have not
exaggerated the barbarity with which
we were treated, but they should not
throw the responsibility upon a contemp
tible detective, who would only glory in
the notoriety his infamy would give
him. We fly for higher game. Gen.
Meade told Gen. R. 11. Chilton’(during
the war Gen. Lee’s Adjutant.) upon the
eve of his departure from. Atlanta, that
he had left full instructions with Gen.
Sibley concerning the disposition of the
Columbus prisoners. These instructions
controlled our treatment, and leave no
issue as to the question of responsibili
ty. At the proper time, and in a man
ner that will not intrude upon your
valuable space, w T e will make good our
position, and will show conclusively
that this unparalleled persecution was
attempted solely and entirely for politi
cal purposes.
The officers and soldiers of the garri
son were as kind as their orders would
permit, and respectful, with but few
exceptions. Gen. Dunn’s courtesy du
ring the trial, especially after Duke’s
alibi, was in strong contrast with the
vindictive, ungenerous, and unmanly
conduct of Joe Brown.
Os the able and untiring efforts of our
counsel, we cannot speak in too high
praise. To the people of Georgia, and
especially to our good friends in At
lanta, we return our sincere thanks for
tbeir sympathy and assistance.

Meeting of tbe Democratic Con
vention at Davis’s Hall.
From the Atlanta Constitution.
According to previous notice, the
delegations from each county in the
State met for the purpose of organiz
ing the Democratic Convention.
Hon. E. G. Cabaniss opened the
meeting with a few forcible and well
timed remarks, urging the Convention
to urge that harmony and good feeling
which, in days past, so eminently cha
racterized the great Democratic party
of Georgia. After the conclusion of
bis remarks, a motion was made to call
Mr. A. W. Redding of Harris county, |
to the Chair, and requesting Messrs.
Carrington and Weems to act as Secre
taries. Adopted.
Gen. Wright made a motion that
three delegates from from each Con
gressional District be appointed to se
lect permanent officers for the Conven
tion. Lost.
A motion was then made that the
roll of counties be called, which was
carried. On calling the roll the chair
man of each delegation presented the
names of the delegates, and every
county in the State was creditably rep
resented.
[The reporter will here remark that
time and space will not admit of giving
the names of the different delegations.]
Gen. A. R. Wright renewed his mo
tion to appoint a committee of twenty

2. Resolved, That we approve the j

The State Democratic Convention
nominated Gen. John B. Gordon and
Hon. John T. Clarke electors for the
State at large. Gen. Wm. T. Wofford

The House passed the following by a
vote of 117 to 20:
Resolved, That we respectfully and
earnestly petition the Congress of the
United States to remove from every
citizen of Georgia, irrespective of party
or associations, the disabilities imposed
by the third section of the proposed
amendment to the Constitution of the

Governor Bullock sent a messago to
both houses congratulating the people
on the establishment of civil govern
ment. He declares the new constitu
tion non-proscriptive, applauds freedom
of the ballot box, declares that we are
national, not independent sovereign
ties; claims that the national legislature
should have the right to declare who
shall be citizens; lauds our labor sys
tem as the most efficient in the world;
approves the removal of disabilities as
fast as relations to the government will
justify.
The Democratic demonstration closed

From Washington.
Washington, July 24.—House.—A
joint resolution authorizing officers and
soldiers to wear on State occasions
badges of the corps in which they served.
Passed.
The report of the Conference Com
mittee on the Alaska bill for simply
appropriating necessary money, was
adopted.
A resolution lor recess from Mon
day to the third Monday in September,
after an exciting debate was passed—
several Democrats changing their votes.
Final vote was 76 to 71.
The Reconstruction Committee re
ported a bill for the more speedy reor
ganization of Virginia, Mississippi and
Texas. During the debate Butler de
clared himself in favor of the bill—
hopeless, however, of its becoming a
law, and the resolution to adjourn Mon
day would defeat it. Ho added : If the
Republicans lost the Southern States
they could not object to their being
counted against them, and if the Re
publicans won them the President had
said their Governments were illegal
and their votes could not be counted ;
the President held the purse, the
sword and Senate, so far as heard from.
The New York World claimed if Con
gress adjourned, every Southern State
could be carried for the Democratic
ticket. Butler believed it. Congress
was simply losing time in considering
this bill. If the Reconstruction policy
could stand, Congress ought to protect
their action, their honor as legislators,
and themselves. Butler’s time expired.
Beck appealed to the House not to
pass the bill; not consign these States
to reckless adventurers ; not arm a ne
gro constabulary against peaceful white
inhabitants, but rather leave these States
under the protection of troops of the
United States.
The bill was passed by strict party
vote, except Baker, of Illinois, who
voted with the Democrats.
The bill as passed is as follows :
A Bill to provide for the more speedy
reorganization of the States of Vir
ginia, Mississippi and Texas.

Sec. 4. Be it further enacted, That

sage of this act, the said conventions
of Mississippi, Virginia and Texas
shall reassemble and proceed to form
constitutions of State government and
submit the same to the people under
and in pursuance of the provisions of
the said act of Congfesr and of this j
act. ■.
Sec. 5. That if in any one of said
States any person shall, durirg the
year 1868, vote for any candidate for
elector of President and Vice President
of the United State, or shall act as an
officer at any election for such candi
dates, every person so offendiug shall
be deemed guilty of a high misdcuusan
or, and shall be liable to indictment,

Senate.—Legislative business uniin- I
portant.
Executive session nearly all day cou- ;
sidering tho Sandwich Island treaty, j
Adjourned.
The Radicals are not hopeless of pro- !
longing the session, but as the case
stands now, Congress must take recesß
Monday, unless tho Senato concurs in
a concurrent resolution to the contrary.
This action will defeat all current legis
lation affecting the Southern Parliamen
tary tactics, and pocket vetoes being
regarded as certain.
Two wings of the Republican party
have been fighting over Southern mem
bers. So far they mostly mate with
Butler’s impeachment extremists.

last night tabled the bill relieving Find
ley of South Carolina, Hahn of Louisi
ana, and Gen. Young of Georgia.
The Senate has ratified the Chinese
treaty.
Capt. J. C. Queen was found in the
President’s grounds with his throat bad

Queen’s friends think he attempted su
icide.
A bill protecting citizens abroad was
received.
Howard opposed conferring power on
the President by which the President
could involve the country in a war in
six weeks. The Government had noth
ing to do with Irish oppression at home.
He objected to making the United
States security for propagandist of
political viewß.
Terry said the bill was an effort to
change the laws of nations of the earth.
The bill passed—yeas 39; nays 5

est South and passing the Freed men’s
Bureau bill, which secures Howard in
office, the House took recess.
Senate —After unimportant business,
the House bill for the reorganization of
Virginia, Mississippi and Texas came
up and was placed on the Speaker’s ta
ble as too important to be referred to
Committee.
From Atlanta.
Atlanta, Ga., July 25.—1n the Sen
ate Mr. Candler offered the following :
Whereas, Ex-Gov. Brown one of the
ablest lawyers in the Republican party
of Georgia, as well as being distin
guished for knowledge of constitutional
law, held, during the late election can
vass, that persons of color were not en
titled to hold office under the existing
constitution ; and whereas such persons
hold seats on this floor; and whereas
laws of vital importance to the welfare
of Georgia are to bo enacted by General
Assembly, the validity which should
not be uncertain because of participa
tion in the enactment by persons not
entitled under the Constitution to par
ticipate.
Therefore resolved, That the Commit
tee on privileges and elections be di
rected to inquire into the eligibility of
several persons of color holding seals as
Senators and Representatives, at the
earliest day practicable.
Mr. Ilungerford (radical) said: there
is a higher opinion than Gov. Brown’s.
A U S Senator has settled it, who holds
a higher office than Brown ha* yet held.
I mean Sumner, who in a letter said,
“No reason why colored people shall
not bold office or anything else any one
can under the Constitution of United
States.” The passage of the 14th arti
cle settles that question forever in
Georgia. The Constitution of this State
proclaims that all persons born or nat
uralized, whose residences are here, are
citizens, and no law can bo made to
abridge their privileges. Does it sim
ply mean they may breathe and work,
or are entitled to all the privileges of
American citizens* Time for color bas
passed.
Resolution defeated.
Senate and House appointed Tuesday,
28th, for election of U. S. Senators and
State officers. Joe Brown and Foster
Blodgett candidates of the Republican
party; no choice by Democrats

IMPORTANT FACTS:
49-Theso Seales are manufactured only by
the Original Inventors, and all others repre
sented as Fairbanks’ are more lmltatlouß, of
which purchaser* should beware.
4®-They are extremely simple In construc
tion, aru wade of tho very best materials, by
experienced and Intelligent workmen, and un
der tbe strictest supervision of the Inventors.
flSr-They have been In constant use In all
branches of business (or thirty years, In all
parts of the world, and, having been most thor
oughly tried, are the acknowledged standard.
*4*They have taken moro first premiums
than all other Scales, and, what is of more
pactical value,have received the award of supe
rior excellence by the vast numbers who hare
used them formally years.
49-They ato fully warranted not onlystrong
and accurate, hut durable ; and the manufac
turers, who are peuuanently established and
fully responsible, will always be prompt to
make this warranty good.
49-They are, owing to the large experience
and superior facilities of the manufacturers,
offered at lower prices than other scales of
equal site and strength.
J9-They are made of all sites and capacities
and adapted to all required uses, embracing
inure than a hundred different modifications.
AVThey are cheap, convenient, strong, accu
rate, and durable, their superiority in these re
spects having been proven by long use, and no
pains will be spared to maintain, and, if possl-.
Me, Improve their quality.
XJ4-lt is a significant faet, which tbe nubile
will appreciate, that whenever new scales are
put upon the market, as Urge numbers have
been lrom time to time during tbe last thirty
years, It seems to be the hrst and chief aim ot
the makers to show that they are the "same as
Fairbanks,” or like them, or are Improvements
upon them, or have taken premiums over
them, thus reoogniilng the latter af tke stand
ard lor excellence, and showing the strong
hold they have upon the public oonfidence.

To my United States and
World-wide Readers.
1 have recelvod many testimonials from pro
fessional and medical men, as my almanacs and
various publications have shown, all of which
are genuine. The following letter >rom a
highly educated and popular physician In
Georgia, Is certainly one ol the must senslbl
communications I have ever received. Dr Clotn
ent knows exactly what be spenks of, and hi.-
testimony deserves to be written In letters ol
gold. Hear what the Doctor says ol BULL’.”
WORM DE.->TROY Elf:
Villanow, Walker County,Ga., (

Dr. John Bull—Dear Sir— have recently
given your “Worm Destroy er' several trials
and tlud It wonderfully efficacious. It ban not
tailed In a single Instanoc to have th. wlshed
tor effect. lam doing a preity largo ountry
practice, and have daily use for some artloleoi
tno kind.
1 am free to confess that 1 know of no reinody
recommended by the üblost authors so oerlaln
and spoedy In Its effects. On tho contrary they
are uncertain In the extreme. My object In
wrltli g you Is to Had out upon what terms 1 oan
get tho modictno directly from you. If 1 can
get It upon easy terms, 1 shall use a great deal
ol It. lam aware that the use of such articles
is contrary to tho teachings aud practice ol a
great majority of the regular line of M. D.’s,
but 1 see no just cause or good sense In dis
carding a remedy which wc know to be effi
cient, simply because we maybe Ignorant ot
its combination. For my own part, I shall
mako It a ru’s to use all and any moans to al
leviate suffering humanity which 1 may be
ablo to command not hesitating because
Bowo one more Ingenious than mysell may
have loarnod Its efforts hrst, and secured tho
sole right to secure that knowledge. However,
I am by no means an advooate or supporter
of tbe thousands of worthless nostrums that
flood the country, that purport to eure all man
ner of dlsoaao to which human flesh Is heir.
Please reply doon, and Inform mo of your beet
terms.

FOR THE (JURE OF

Cliills an<l Feyer.
The Proprietor ol this oelebrated medicine
justly claims for It u superiority uvor all remo
dlee ever olferod to the public ior the case, cer
tain, tpeedy and permanent oure.of Ague and
Fevor, or Ohllls and Fever, whether ol short or
longstanding. He refers to the entire Wes
tern and South-western country to bear him
testimony to llie truth of the assertion, tbnt In
no case whatever will It tall to oure, It the di
rections are .'rlctly followed and carried out.
In a great many cases a single dose has been
sufficient tor a 'ocre, and whole families have
been cured by a sin;-!* bottle, with a perfect
restoration of the general health. It Is, how
ever, prudent, and In every case moro certain
to cure, it Its use ts continued in smaller doses
lor a week or two after the disease has been
checked, more especially In difficult and long
etsndlng cases. Usually, this medicine will
not require any aid to keep the bowels In good
order ; should the patient, however, require a
cathartic medicine, after having taken three
or four doses of the Tonlo, a single dose ot
HULL’S VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS
will be sufficient.
