com MBITS THURSDAY MOBNINU, FEB. 4. The Wobld.— Mr. Manton Marble has bought out all the other owners of the World newspaper, and is now sole proprietor. A Healthy WsED.-Thurlow Weed writes from South Carolina that his health is improving slowly. A Ball, but no Niggers.—The citi zens of Washington have finally re solved to have an inauguration ball and to hold it in the hall of the new wing of the Treasury building. The colored people will not be allowed to attend. Georgia in Conobess.—ln another column we publish a very significant article under the above heading, from the New York Times of the 30th. The Times is considered the best exponent of the sentiments of Gen. Grant. It finds the re-reconstruction of Georgia a knotty subject to deal with. Cool.— Long after the public had made up its opinion of the corruption of Bullock, as charged by Angier and confessed by himself, a sub committee of Finance telegraphs from Atlanta to beg a suspension of public opinion. We take it that with the present state of facts, public opinion neither of Bul lock or the Committee will be likely to be suspended much. A Snarl from Gref.ley.—The Tri bune of the 80th contains the following Bnarl at Georgia : “The Georgia legislators, who have contrived to get themselves and their reconstructed State into such a pretty situation, are developing an anxiety for instruction on suffrage too sudden to be very sincere. A decent use of the knowledge they already have would just now be more to the purpose.” Virtue of Widows.—The Commer cial Advertiser denounces the bill which has been introduced into Congress to withdraw pensions from a large class of widows whom the Commissioner of Pensions reports as living in concubin age or prostitution. It says . “The bill is really a device to organize slander and detraction against women. It puts the burden of proof upon the widow, and obliges her, in fact, to prove a negative. The bill is monstrous in its indecency and inhumanity.” Periodicals. —Scott’s Magazine for February is on our table, with the usual table of contents. The Ladies Pearl.—The February number of this new monthly is at hand. It is an eclectic, and is filled with choice literary matter, gleaned from many fields. The Little Corporal.—For Feb ruary has arrived. This magazine is justly a favorite with all the little folks. It is cheap, too, only one dollar a year, and is about the best thing we have ever seen from Chicago. An Impertinent Letter. —Some weeks since, we copied as a news item, a statement taken from the North Car olina Standard, a journal with which we do not exchange, to the effect that the colony of Swiss emigrants in that State, were dissatisfied, and in a state of great destitution. By mail of Tuesday we received a very impertinent letter fiom someone signing himself T. H. Atkinson, enclosing what the writer claims to be a certificate written by the Swiss emigrants themselves, denying the charges in toto. We cannot afford to correct through the medium of our columns, every statement that may be copied into them from other journals. In this case wo would publish the cer tificate, though it has no name or attest ation attached to it, but for the very impertinent and offensive manner in which it haß pleased Mr. T. H. Atkin son, or whoever wrote the letter alluded to, to prefer his request. TO COTTON,PLANTERS. The following circular, (accompanied with blanks propounding questions to cotton planters,) was forwarded to a commercial firm in this city, and hand ed to us to be laid before the public. We comply with pleasure, andtrustour intelligent cotton planters will come forward and furnish the desired infor mation. The matter presented in this shape to the “Cotton Supply Associa tion,” at Manchester, will do more to turn capital aud labor from Europe to cotton culture in tho Cotton States of America, than all tho Emigrant Asso ciations and organizations that could be gotten up. At this time, England is spending millions of dollars in India to produce an inferior article of cotton, where the best lands will not produce more than two hundred pounds of seed cotton to the acre. The average is less than one hundred and fifty pounds per acre. We trust our planters will give early attention to the matter. For lur ther information, apply at the Sun of fice, where blanks, containing the questions propounded, can bo fuund : Office of Lorino & Atkinson, X Cotton Brokers & Agents, > No. 69 Water Street cor. Congress. J Boston, January, 1869. Dear Sir : Being desirous of collect ing information relative to cotton cul ture and of showing to how small an extent the great capacities of the South for the production of the staple have ns yet been developed, we respectfully request answers to the questions pro posed in the accompanying blank. We think it can be made evident to the Cotton Supply Association of Eng" land, and the manufacturers of Germany and France, that they will be far more sure of a regular supply if they would turn their attention to the development of the staple in America, by promoting emigration, and in other ways, rather than waste more time in the effort to increase the production of an inferior staple in India, the only other country from which any material increase can be expected. We desire to collate all such informa tion as may have a bearing upon the subject, to prepare a digest therefrom, and issue the same in a circular, to be sent to cotton spinners in this country and in Europe, and to each correspond ent who favors us with an answer to our enquiries. Your co-operation is respectfully requested. We remain your ob’t. serv’ts., Lorino & Atkinson. Death of an Ex Registrar.—On yesterday Richard Coleman, freedman, died. He was a slave and acted as cotton sampler for Capt. Harry T. Hall, who, before the war, had to force free dom on him. Dick was one of the county Registrars last year. Two white men were his associates. Though a negro, he was much more disposed, ignorant as he was, to construe the laws in an impartial manner than any of the White-skinned registrars. We Believe Both. Dahlgren ■wears that Rodman’s guns are worth less, Rodman swears that Dahlgren’s guns are worthless, and there is no one to swear that they are not gentlemen of veracity. KOBE CORRUPTION, The people of Georgia have not recov ered from the shock experienced, by the exposure of the corruption of Bullock, as exhibited in the correspondence be tween himself aDd the State Treasurer, and in the report of the Committee on Retrenchment, when they are called up on to receive further evidence of the dis honesty of the creature who has been put to rule over them, and the compli city of the subordinates whom he has gathered about him. The report from Treasurer Angier in relation to the pay ment of the public funds upon warrants unauthorized by law, which we repro duce elsewhere, as it appears in the At ianta Constitution, opens anew chapter in the series of frauds which have been perpetrated upon the tax payers. This report is very plain and pointed in its statement of facts. Bullock ordered a claim to be paid which had been refused by Governor Jeukins and the Legisla ture. Upon the declarations of his two private and confidential Secretaries, that the claim had not been before presented, it was paid and the Secretaries pocket ed one half of the proceeds. There the matter stands, as prominent a piece of fraud and corruption as the history of Radicalism affords. We have a little to add that may strengthen the case. One of these small pox claims was tried in the Superior Court of this county, and a judgment rendered in favor of the plaintiff. Ex Provisional Governor James Johnson and a Dr. Alexander, who formerly re sided hero, but now lives in Atlanta, one of the “loil” also, purchased this judgment at a small figure from the needy holder. Subsequently the So licitor of ttiis Circuit, was instructed by the Governor (not Bullock) to carry the question to the Supreme Court. The instructions were obeyed, and the Supreme Court decided that the judg ment was not warranted by law. These are matters of record, and should have been known to Bullock and his subor dinates. The Ex Provisional Governor pressed his claim and Bullock was found ! agreeable to its liquidation. But there was an obstruction in the way. One j Madison Bell, the Comptroller General j of the State, it seems, has not yet arriv 1 ed at that point in Radicalism where moral obligations are forgotten, and common honesty despised. He refused to countersign the warrant, alleging as a reason that he “suspected rascality, when it was first presented.” Subse quently he was fortified in his decision by the opinion of the Supreme Court, and when his refusal was communicated to the Ex-Provisional Governor, who in person pressed, with great importunity, his little claim, it is said that the latter indulged in objurgations and expletives towards the honest official, not suitable for polite ears, or becoming a professor of the Calvinistic creed. Tlie Atlanta Opera House. At the request of the Atlanta Consti tution, we publish the contract made between Pulluin & Kimball and the City Council of Atlanta, in relation to the Opera House. The Constitution claims that the contract has been com plied with in every essential by both parties. On the contrary, we have the statement of the State Treasurer and the confession of Bullock, that the lat ter has advanced many thousand dol lars of the money of the State without warrant or authority of law to Pulium & Kimball. The understanding has been that the State was to be at no ex pense for the concern for ten years, yet in less than a year her money has been squandered, and in such shape as does not hold out any promise of its recovery. At the end of ten years it will be expected that the people shall be taxed to buy this expensive, cum brous and inconvenient thing, at a price far exceeding what a suitable building would cost. We demand of the mem bers of the Legislature from this section at least, that this whole matter shall be thoroughly sifted. Rumor is and has been rife in Atlanta to the effect that Pulium & Kimball, a bankrupt sleeping car company, have been bolstered up and kept on their feet by monies advanced by Bullock. It is said that Bullock himself has made a handsome speculation out of this Op era House. It is known that the price said to have been paid for the heating apparatus is enormous and extravagant. It must be plain to every unprejudiced observer that the swindle already perpe trated upon the people of Georgia, is but a foretaste of others that are to fol low, and in the face of the develop ments of corruption that have already been made, we are amazed at the in difference manifested by the press of the State in regard to this important matter. We do not care to pursue the matter further, but we hazard the assertion, witls a full knowledge of the force and import of our words, that if the Legisla ture will appoint a Committee, that will fearlessly discharge its duty, irrespec tive of the question of removing the Capitol, or any other embarrassing collateral issue, a mass of corruption and extravagance can be brought to light as will stir into action the apathetic and iudifferenl Representatives of the people. _ The New Route.—The new route for freight—the Fernandina Route—is by river boats to Apalachicola, thence by steamers to Cedar Keys, Florida, I theuec by rail to Fernandina on the Atlantic Coast, and then to New York :by steamers. Between the two latter points the time is about the same as from Savannah to New York, and on the present routes and the new one the dis ference is not more on an average than two days. The difference in cost is in favor of the Fernandina route by some two dollars per bale. It is to the inter • est of Columbus that she should have competing lines. None can exist with out patronage. As soon as one obtains a supremacy over another, a monopoly is established and prices are advanced. With competition comes cheapness. The Northern cities owe their rapid | growth in wealth aud importance to j competing routes of freight and travel. Clafi.in Academy. The inaugu ration of this building, erected near the Cemetery by the U. 8. Government, for the purposes of colored schools, will be formally inaugurated this afternoon about 3 o’clock. The institute is named after Ex-Governor Claflin of Massa chusetts. What he has done for the blacks, except being a radical, we have not been informed of. The Trustees of the Public Schools of Columbus have been invited to be present. Dr. J. H. DeVotie, pastor of the Baptist Church, has received and accepted an invitation to deliver somo remarks. Os other features of the programme we are not advised, and know not from what source to gain them. Cheap Freights.—Owing to com peting boats, planters along our river are enabled to send cotton to Columbus, for almost, if not quite, nothing. The freight is only twenty-five cents, some, times less, per bale. The natural gain in moisture on the river will amount to that sum. River planters are having a good time in this section. GEORGIA EEGISEATURE. SENATE. Saturday, January 80. Senate opened at 10 o’clock, purau aut to adjournment, with prayer by the Rev. Mr. Smith, of the 7th.

BILLS ON THIRD READING. A bill to establish the office of County Commissioner in Stewart county. Laid on tlie table. House adjourned. Treasurer’s Office, ) Atlanta, Ga., Jan 30th, 1860. j To the Honorable House of Represents, tioes of the State of Georyia: In reply to your resolution “Resolved, That the \ Treasurer of the State be requested to furnish this House, is early as practica ble, a statement of whui amounts had been paid by him for vaccine matter, upon the warrant of the Governor, and what warrants drawn by the Governor for vaccine matter have been paid; when such accounts were created; why the Treasurer refused to pay any such warrants; to whom any mon ey paid on such warrant was paid, and when, and under what circumstances payment of any such account was re fused,” I have the honor to report that, on or about the 21st day of November, 1868, H. J. G. Williams, warrant and recording clerk of the Executive De partment, accompanied by B. B. De- Graffenreid, Secretary of Executive De partment, presented me an executive warrant drawn in favor of John P. Fort, executor of G. W. Fort, M. D. for the sum of two thousand dollars, to pay for money advanced “lor the purchase of vaccine matter and services rendered, as distributing agent of the Stale of Georgia, from July 15th, 1858, to De cember, 1863.” Payment was refused on account of the lapse of such a long period from the time the service was rendered, the party rendering the ser vice residing at the capitol, affording him easy facilities for payment. My suspicion was aroused by the great anxiety manifested by the parties presenting the warrant for payment, and their frequent voluntary avowal that they “knew most positively that the claim had never been presented nor paid, and that they had no interest in it whatever." Payment, however, was promised, if they would present me the certificate of the executor and the cer tificate of the then acting Governor, that the account had never been paid, and the service rendered at a reasona ble price. They came so near comply ing with my requirements, 1 could not well longer refuse payment, and on the 3d day of December, 1868, paid said warrant to H. J. G. Williams, and shortly afterwards learned that the claim bad been presented to both Gov ernor Jenkins and the General Assem bly, of 1866, and payment by Governor Jenkins and appropriations by the Gen eral Assembly refused. I also learned that a party, who must have been famil iar with the Executive Department, had, without solicitation visited the executor (who had almost abandoned the at tempt to collect the same, although maintaing its justice) and stated that he knew of this claim, and would attempt to collect the same, giving the executor part of the proceeds. The executor haying nearly given up the claim after the action of the Legislature of 1866, agreed to this proposal and was sur prised a few days after at receiving a certain amount of money, which amount was only one-half the amount of the war rant. In justice to Governor Bullock, I will give him the benefit of his own state ment., which was, that when the ac count was presented to him by Mr. De- Graffenreid, with assurances that it had never been paid, he told him to take it and scale it down to what he thought was just, and after such scaling, (the original account being $3,200) he issued a warrant for two thousand dollars. — Because I refused payment of this war rant, it was reported to me that com plaint was made in the Executive office that “the Treasurer had no discretion about paying a warrant, after it had been approved by the Comptroller Gen eral, and that he did not treat Execu tive warrants with proper respect.” I refused to pay a warrant based on an account for services rendered in small pox cases by one Dr. Boswell, in Muscogee county for more than $3,000, on account of no funds in Treasury, and on the ground that services were ren dered before 1862 that being prior to the passage of the act, authorizing the Governor to pay such claims, based on certain proofs. This claim is still un paid. Respectfully submitted. N. L. Angier, Treasurer. It was referred to Finance Commit tee. Wliupey vs. Christy. From the proceedings of the House of Representatives on Thursday last, we extract as follows with reference to the contested election case of Wiinpey (scalawag) vs. Christy (Democrat,) from the Athens district. It would appear that the Beast has decorated Mr. C. with the laurels of his special disap probation, upon which fact we beg to congratulate him: GEORGIA CONTESTED ELECTION CASE. Mr. Dawes, of Massachusetts, Chair man of the Committee on Elect’.ms, called up the Georgia contested election case from the Sixth Congressional dis trict of Georgia. The resolutions reported from the Committee on Elections, setting forth that J. H. Christy is not entitled to represent the Sixth Congressional dis trict of Georgia on account of disloyalty, and that John A. Wimpey is not enti tled to a seat from the same district on account of not having received a major ity of votes, were then read. Mr. Dawes, of Massachusetts, moved that the gentlemen claiming the seats be allowed to address the House under the rules of the House. Agreed to. Mr. Paine, of Wisconsin, asked if it would not be well, in view of the reso lution adopted this morning relative to Georgia’s representatives here, to post pone the whole matter for the present, or else to refer it to the Committee on Reconstruction. He was ready to offer a resolution for that purpose. Mr. Dawes, of Massachusetts, said he would yield the floor for that purpose, in order to get an expression of opinion from the House on the subject. Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts, said he was ready to argue the proposition that Mr. Wimpey was entitled to his seat. As for Mr. Christy, he did not believe he represented anybody or anything. He was satisfied, and he knew Mr. Wimpey would be satisfied to have the matter go to the Reconstruction Com mittee. Mr. Brooks, of New York, said Mr. Wimpey was everywhere and pretended to represent everybody. Mr. Mullen, of Tennessee, said Geor gia was standing with one foot on the grave of rebellion and the other on the rock of loyalty. He proposed to keep her there till she gave evidence of bet ter repentance. Mr. Paine, of Wisconsin, said with the leave of the Chairman of the Com mittee on Elections he would move to postpone the consideration of this sub ject until the third Tuesday in Febru ary after the morning hour. Mr. Dawes, of Massachusetts, said he would accept of that motion for the pur pose of testing the sense of the House. Mr. Shellabarger, of Ohio, favored the postponement. He thought under the present condition of affairs it was proper for the House to pursue this course. The motion to postpone was agreed to. _ Madame Lincoln.—The report of the Committee on Pensions, in the case of Mrs. Lincoln, says “they are unable to perceive that she is entitled to a pen sion under the letter and spirit of any existing law.” The Committee are aware that the friends of the resolution expect to make a permanent provision for the lady, under the guise of a pen sion, but no evidence has been furnished them, or reasons assigned, why such provision should be made. If such was the intention, the committee submit that the reference should have been made to some other committee. [From the New York Times.] Georgia in Congress. The status of Georgia in relation to representation in Congress is a subject that promises not a little vexation and embarrassment. The conviction is gen eral among Republicans that some step is necessary to vindicate the integrity of reconstruction in the State; but what shape this vindication shall assume is a question about which both Houses are evidently in doubt. The Senate Judiciary Committee re commends the exclusion of Mr. Hill for reasons affecting the validity of an act which, under the law, is essential to restoration. The ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment is declared by the Committee to have been simply “pretended,” and subsequent “acts of usurpation and outrage" are cited as having placed the State ‘‘in a condition unfit to be represented in Congress.” tsut these averments are not made the groundwork of any practical proposition. No remedy for the evils referred to—no mode of rectifying the wrong incident to fradulent admission—is suggested. The Senators whom the State have sent are not to be admitted ; that is all. The resolution reported from the House Committee on Reconstruction goes further. It embodies a series of allegations aimed at the right of the Representative already admitted to their seats, and designed to reopen the whole question of reconstruction in the State. It indicates the possibility of expelling members whose individual eligibility has been coneeded, but whom it is pro posed to make responsible for the un lawful aud unjust proceedings of the Georgia Legislature. The interference of Congress with the view of undoing what tiiat body has done and starting afresh from tlie initial point of reeou struction is clearly contemplated. As thus presented the position of Congress is incongruous and indefensi ble. Each House is' undertaking to act for itself in a matter in which joint ac tion would seem to b» essential. The question no longer affects the standing of benators and members, concerning whose qualifications each House i3 the exclusive judge. It has gradually ex panded until now it covers the right of the Suite to membership of the Union; involving considerations of a difficult and delicate character, in comparison with which partisan gains or losses are of trivia] importance. If anything is to be done, tlie Senate and House should move in concert.— The exclusion of Senators or the expul sion of members will not meet the requirements of the case. That step resolved upon, ulterior and much graver measures will be unavoidable ; and these cannot be pondered too seri ously or proceeded with too cautiously. Universal suffrage, it must be remem bered, exists in Georgia, and it may be possible for the Republicans of the State to assert their lights, and punish the wrongdoers without further help than that which may be desirable to secure fair play at the polls. Tlie Ulack-aiul-Tan Petition. We publish, in this morning’s Chron icle & Sentinel, the twenty-eight hun dred signatures appended to the petition recently presented by Charles Sumner in the United States Senate, setting forth the great jeopardy in which the lives and property of “loil men” are placed in this city by the recent victory of “ye fierce Democracie.” The list will, we are sure, astonish our citizens from the absence from it of the names of all the prominent Radicals who reside in Augusta, from the President of the Senate down. The names of the white men are few, and consist wholly of the lowest scum of their party (if there can beany degrees in infamy,) men who disgrace the negro signers by putting their signatures on the same paper with them. Os the two thousand and odd negro names we are confident that an examination will reveal the fact that not exceeding two hundred of this number are residents of the city ; many of the petitioners, we believe, arc na tives of the different counties in the District, non-residents, while by far the greater portion have no existence at all, phantoms whom the Scalawags and mongrels have conjured up and en dowed with life that they might petition Congress for military government. Numbers of the signers are now con victs on the chain gang and in the city prison and must have "been enrolled by the virtuous Pardue when he was Jailor, while others have but recently been liberated at the expiration of their time of servitude. It is not too broad an assertion to state that on the bona fide negro list can be discovered the name of every burglar and sneak-thief who operates within the city limits, and graces the rogue’s calendar in the office of the Chief of Police. The whites, or rather those able to write their own names, for we are aware that there are many respectable scalawags who are ignorant of the accomplishment, are decidedly a bad lot; Pardue, Rhodes, Ramsey et id genus omne, discharged policemen, and city officials, shipped for gross violations of duty. Among the latter list we are surprised to find the name of one, whom common de cency should have restrained from signing a document which stated that Radicals cannot get justice from juries in this city, but that the persecution of the rebels follows them even into the Court House, when but a few days since he escaped unhurt from a charge involving his life. The whole thing is but another of the numerous frauds perpetrated by the Bullock Blodgett scalawags, a bogus petition presented in order to make Congress believe that its interference is necessary to save them from the vengeance of the rebels of Augusta. —Chronicle Sentinel Olsf. A Texas Girl’s Love Letter.— A noted dreaded outlaw and desperado, McLane, plying his bloody work with a gang of other men, on the border of Texas and Arkansas, has just been captured at Little Rock. The following letter, found upon his person, is a sad and curious evidence of how a warm hearted young girl will cling to the man she loves, through sin, sorrow and shame: Stevensville, Texas. Harry Dear—l received your note by Dr. Kennedy. Oh, the joy I felt in hearing from you, and hearing that you was living yet! I heard many times you was killed after you left Texas. The man you shot at Waco village has got so he can ride out on horseback, but will never get well. George Holt died eight days after you left us at Stevens ville. His brother swears vengeance against you. You had best be careful when you come to this part. Father is your enemy—he will do all he can against you. You write to me often. If I can only see you once more I have a great many things to tell you. You said you would come after me. God speed the time when we shall part no more till death parts us. I will quit father and mother and every other per son, and follow you, my persecuted lover. My people are all very hard against you, which makes me love you stronger than ever. Some people tell me I was foolish for loving you, a des perado, with a doubtful name, but I thank God for loving you. The people generally think you was killed by John Holt and his party, in Arkansas. God speed the time when we meet. Yours forever, Eleanor E. Worth. P. S.—l send you my picture, as you asked me to do; keep it as a token oi my love. Eleanor. Handsomely Stated. —The editor of the San Francisco Bulletin has just passed unscathed through a trying libel suit. He does not, in the hour of his exultation, turn upon his enemies, but extends to them his hand, and in sub stance says: Gentlemen, your efforts were vain. You can not stop history making, you can not muffle truth. The press is the organ of thought in the body politic. If you can not bear its power, stand from under. You can not stop its wheels. This victory is not mine, or I might vaunt myself and taunt you. It, is simply a step forward of journal ism. It is the shaking off of a parasite which might have disturbed, but never could have choked up, the avenues of free expression. When impotent men and swendlers learn these great truths, black mailing attempts on journalists will gradually cease. The skating race yesterday for $25 a side between Len Martin and Charlie Perkins, two colored boys, came off promptly at 3 o’clock p. m., and was won by Len Martin by just twenty inches. We consider it a very close race. Hundreds were on the spot to see the sport, and the boys did their very best. Contract between £. Si. Kimball and the City «overnment of Atlanta. Georgia, Fulton County. E. N. Kimball, of the county afore said", and the Mayor and Council of the City of Atlanta, agree as follows: Said Kimball hereby leases unto the Mayor and Council of the city of Atlanta all of the second, third and fourth floors, and one room in the southeast corner of the first floor, with another room adjoining it large enough for a vault, in building on Marietta street in the city of Atlanta, known as the Opera House Building. Said building is to be finished in accord ance with the plans and specifications which are hereto attached, and made a part of this agreement, and are to be ready for occupation, by or before the second Tuesday in January, 1869. Said plan and specification may be modified for the convenience of the State, in such manner as the said E. N. Kimball and the Governor of the State may agree upon not at the expense of the city. Said Kimball agrees and binds him self to make, during the term of this lease, such repairs as the natural wear ol the building may render necessary. This lease is to continue for the term of five years from the day when it may be completed and ready for occupation, and it may be extended upon the same terms and conditions for from one to tour years, if the said Mayor and City Council so desire, and shall give said Kimball written notice thereof six months before the expiration of said term of five years. Said Kimball re serves the right to use and occupy all tlie basement, ail the fifth floor, and all of the first floor, except the two rooms hereinbefore mentioned, and said Kim ball reserves the light of ingress and egress so far as the same may be neces sary to the full enjoyment ol' the portions herein reserved. It is, however, agreed that the fifth floor shall not be occupied for any purpose that injures the use, or disturbs the occupation of the parts herein leased. The parts leased are to used as a Senate Chamber, Representa tive Hall, offices for State House officers, or for any other purpose not more inju rious to the building. Tlie Mayor and Council of tin; City of Atlanta agree to pay to said Kimball, his heirs, or assigns, as rent for said property, the sum of six thousand dol lars per annum, quarterly in advance, and they further agree that no city tax shall be imposed during the term afore said on any part of said Opera House property, or if imposed, that they will pay it, and save Kimball or bis assigns theretrom. It is further agreed that, if damage or loss should happen by fire to said build ing during the term aforesaid, the rent shall cease during the time, and to the extent that the Mayor and City Council may be deprived of the building, or may be compelled to furnish other rooms for the use of the State. And in case the said Mayor and Council, on account of said damage, may be compelled toaban don said building, then the whole of said rent to cease during the time it is so abandoned. In testimony whereof the said E. N. Kimball has hereto affiixed his seal, and the said Mayor and Council of the City of Atlanta has hereto affixed its corpo rate seal, this August 24th, 1868. E N.

E. N. Kimball. Prince and Clll't. It is said every cloud hath its silver lining. We are inclined to belief in the doctrine. It seems we are soon to have an illustration of this interesting truth. From reports, it appears that the black and lowering clouds of Congressional reconstruction of the Georgia Legisla ture has a lining of silver which is very beautiful for the eyes of Georgians to behold. It represents a couple of non descripts reluctantly sneaking out of seats—through the back door—in the National House of Representatives for merly occupied by such men as Berrien, Crawford and Stephens, and when out, making tracks "with a speed that would put Weston to shame, for their homes “down in Maine !” Their names are respectively C. H. Prince and J. W. Clift. They have been presuming to act as the Representatives of the people of the Fifth and First Congressional District of Georgia. It is safe to say, they do not know the names of the riv ers of the State they profess to repre sent. All they know personally of their white constituents is the information they may have obtained while crawling round negro quarters, seeking for negro votes. Every white Republican in their Districts, we are told, regret having voted for them. Since their election, they have spent nearly all their time at their Northern homes, exhibiting them selves to gaping crowds as bright ex amples of what brass, bayonets and ne groes can accomplish in the South.— They have not a single tie binding them to Georgia except the one Congress promises to cut asunder by kicking them out of Congress. With that tie broken, and no hope of a re-election, they will not deem it safe for a loyal man to remain among his late constitu ents, and will probably return to their old homes to live off a contemplation of their past political renown as well as the —money they made when there was an opportunity ! In this article we are not referring to carpet baggers, so-called, as a class.— We speak of the individuals on their own merits, and because they are desti tute of merit. We are constrained to compliment the people on the unfortu nate turn their political fortunes have taken. Lower City Bridge Unsafe.—Yes terday the city authorities refused pas sage to all vehicles across the lower bridge. The structure in some por tions on this side had been lowered somewhat, and it will have to be re paired. Officers are stationed there to prevent crossing until safety can be secured. Horace King is now at work upon it. When it will be made passa ble is problematical—perhaps not before the middle of next week. This bridge was constructed just after the war by John D. Gray & Cos., and was guaran teed as good as the former one which was burned. It cost $25,000. Repairs have consumed nearly, if not more than all the receipts. The wisdom of having two bridges is apparent. The upper one is all right. The examination of bridges should be more rigid than has characterized the investigations since the war. It is reported that a man named Tom Lewis, in attemping to cross last night, fell through ou the Alabama end, where some planks had been taken up to pre vent vehicles from crossing, and seri ously injured himself. Shameful Conduct. —We learn from a communication by Mr. H. K. Evans of Girard, that a crowd of law less vagabonds have been congregating for a week past around the residence of Mr. J. S. Parr, some three miles beyond Girard, and amusing themselves by banging at the door, throwing rocks upon the roof, striking matches around the house, and committing several oth er threatening and insulting antic3. The communication informs us that the house of Mr. Parr was to be guarded last night, and we trust the ruffians will be brought to justice. Such con duct might have been tolerated in the days of Murrellism, but is entirely un becoming a civilized, law abiding com munity. Sir. Parr is said to be a quiet peaceable man, aud it is believed that these intimidations have been used for the purpose of robbery. Dead.—We find in the Savannah Re publican the announcement of the death of Capt. John D. Atkins of Apalachi cola. Capt. Atkins resided here during and for sometime after the war, and made many friends, who will regret to hear of his death. A MOTHER’S WAIE. My babe! my babe! my only babe !

Washington, Fob. 3. —ln a debate on the whisky tax last night, Schenck, Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, said there were a parcel oi speculators throughout the country, trying to kill the whisky market by cir culating a story that the Ways and Means Committee,'or some member of the House, would propose to increase the tax on whisky, or perhaps put it back to its old rate. Ho would say that so far as the ways and Means Com mittee was concerned, no such proposi tion had been or would he entertained. He hoped there would be no tinkering by the point of this part of the hill. Senate This morning Trumbull, from the Judiciary Committee introduc ed a bill reorganizing the Federal Judi ciary.
