COLUMBUS:!
THURSDAY MORNING, FEB. 17.
The Reward of Industry. —We
were shown a handsome silver watch
on yesterday afternoon, which was
given by the State Agricultural Society I
to Downing Peabody, son of C. A. Pea
body, Esq., for the best acre of upland
cotton raised by a boy under sixteen
years of age. The premium was open
to the South, and our young friend has
reason to be proud of his success.
Prolific Corn.— We are indebted to
our friend Col. J. A. L. Lee for a bushel
of his celebrated bread corn, of which
he raised during the past season one
hundred and twenty bushels to the acre.
It is of a variety well adapted to our
soil and climate. He has some fifty
more bushels on hand which may be
procured at five dollars per bushel.
Trial by Jury.— Are the people wil
ling to give up altogether that some
time treasured institution, the trial by
iury ? If not, then they must come out
to its defence. It is in danger from
their own apathy. Jurors are the least
responsible instruments of the law.—
N. Y. Herald.
If the last statement is true, what has
the Herald to say of the Southern peo
ple, whoso lives and property are at the
mercy of mixed juries ?
Grant’s Opinion of Southern
Radicals.— The Washington corres
pondent of the New York World says:
The President told a Senator the oth
er day that there was not a Radical in
the entire South who was qualified to
be placed on the Supreme .Bench, and
that everybody else there who was
qualified by education and ability for
such a position, was disqualified in
other respects for such appointment.
The Southern Radicals may find con
solation in the fact that all decent peo
ple have as poor an opinion of Grant as
he has of them.
Death of Hon. W. A. Ashley.—
The Montgomery Advertiser says: It
is with profound sorrow that we an
nounco the death of this distinguished
son of Alabama, lie died at his home
near Evergreen, Conecuh county, last
Sunday, after a short illness, of pneu
monia. Only a few days before he lost
a noble and promising son. Mr. Ashley
was for many years in the Alabama
Legislature having served a great deal
in both Houses. He was a native of
Alabama and a graduate of the State
University.
Johnny come tickle me,
Tickle me true—
You tickle me
And I’ll tickle you.
A telegram from Washington says
Bryant got the appointment of Post
master at Augusta for Price, a professed
Democrat, hailing from Cherokee Geor
gia. We suppose this is to be an ar
rangement like the one between Mil
ledge and Ackerman about the District
Attorneyship. Price is to keep the
place warm for Bryant.
Important Decision in the Supe
rior Court.— -It -will be remembered
that when the St. Mary’s buildings
were burned, a wooden house belong
ing to Mrs. Amanda F. Robison was
torn down to arrest the progress of the
flames. Buit was brought against the
city to recover its value. It was tried
before Judge Worrill, and the city won.
Yesterday it was again argued. Judge
Johnson charged in substance as fol
lows : If the Chief Engineer of the Fire
Department or the Mayor of the city
directed the house pulled down to pre
vent the spread of the fire, and it was so
pulled down, the city is liable for all
the damages accruing to tho owners
from such pulling down, and which
would not otherwise have been sustain
ed—that is if a house is pulled down for
the public good the public must remun
erate the owner. The jury returned a
verdict for plaintiff of $550. Moses &
Garrard, and C. R. Russell for plaintiff;
Peabody & Brannon for city.
Attached for SIO,OOO. —On Tues
day night a youth aged about 14 years,
son of Mr. Tom Smith of this city, was
Bitting near the ring in Robinson’s cir
cus. The endeavor has always been
to keep people from such close proxim
ity to tho performers, but the boys
would crowd around. The rider who
keeps the ball with his feet in motion
dropped it. It fell on the head of the
boy and produced concussion of the
brain. It is not known whether or not
the skull was broken. His life was al
most dispaired of yesterday, but about
dark the chances of recovery were fa
vorable. Yesterday, the property of
the company was attached, and Sheriff
Bradford served the writ just about
dark. The claim for damages against
the circus is SIO,OOO. Blanford &
Thornton are counsel for plaintiff. After
dark the company gave ample security,
and at theclosoof tho evening perform
ance proceeded on their way to Hamil
ton. Peabody & Brannon are Robin
son’s attorneys.
A Radical Senator Endorses tue
South. Senator Carpenter, in his
speech on Cuba, uses the following
strong and true language :
But the United States is fully com
mitted to the doctrine that it is an inal
alienable right of an oppressed people
to throw off the tyrant’s yoke by revo
lution. With us, then, consistency re
quires that the moment a revolution
against tyranny is fully inaugurated,
we should recognize the fact that it is in
progress and at least remain impartial
during the contest. If a revolution is
in fact commenced upon just provoca
tion, it is as much entitled to our sympa
thy the first day of its existence as alter
it is ten years old.
Preaching against the Irish.—
The Lafayette (Ala.) Reporter has a
correspondence which gives an account
ot a Radical sermon delivered at that
place last Sunday, by a man named
Powell. The correspondent says:
“In the course of his remarks the
Rev. Divine asserted that events were
transpiring which were likely to ex
clude the native American (African we
suppose he though!) by-an inllux of the
scum of the world, to-wit: Chinese,
Ibish, &c., &c. We confoss that it
grated harshly upon our feelings to hear
the Irish people coupled with the Chi
nese and spoken so disrespectfully of by
one who professed to be performing the
service of his Lord and Our
Irish blood boiled within us, and noth
ing but the sacredness of the place and
the thought that perhaps the ignorance
of the speaker incapacitated him from
comprehending the full import of his
words, prevented us at the time from
resenting it in the manner it deserved.”
The Big Ox.—The Macon Telegraph
and Messenger, under the head of
“Court Proceedings,” says :
Another case in regard to the big
steer, “General Grant,” which has been
on exhibition here for a week or two
past, was tried, but we did not hear the
result. The owners of the animal seem
to have fallen out about it, and one of
them brought suit to compel a sale so as
to get his interest. We did not learn
whether he desired his interest in beef
or in money, but infer that he wants
beef, as he says he will kill his share of
the ox if he can’t get it out of the ani
mal at law. We don’t know how this 1
is, but so we were playfully informed.
Master Pope Mangham, of Griffin,
fell and was run over by a loaded wag
on on Saturday, receiving severe inju
ries, his collar bone being broken. Ha
was otherwise crushed, and and his re
covery is considered doubtful.
The Senatorial Election.
The thing in Atlanta has gone for
ward and elected three Senators, the can"
didates agreed upon by the Radical cau
cus, in each instance being successful. 1
Though the niggers were swindled in
the caucus, and complained of it, be it
said to their credit that they stood up to
party usage and precedent.
This election will develop a vast deal
of discontent among the disappointed
aspirants and their adherents, and until
these developments we restrain com
ment upon this feature of the case.—
Georgia can justly feel none of the dis
grace thus put upon her by Radical
force, while in the persona, characters,
and antecedents of the Senators 80-call
ed, Radicalism will Cave a burden to
carry, undei which it cannot survive in
mis State.
Three men could noi have been selec.
ted who have less capacity to do Geor
gia harm, and more to inflict permanent
injury upon the Radical party. Blod
gett is a perjurer and scoundrel gener
ally, Farrow is a vicious ass, and White
ly, a nondescript, was taken as the
nearest thing to a nigger, being from a
large Digger district.
The question of their admission is the
next one of interest at issue. It Joshua
Hill has any friends, strength, or influ-
I ence, now is the time and opportunity
Ito use them. He may be able to get up
an interesting squabble in the Senate.
Our own opinion is that the three will
be at once admitted. The latest from
Washington on the subject is embodied
in the following to the Northern Press :
Joshua Hill and Dr. Miller, formerly
elected United States Senators from
Georgia, are still here, and will present
their credentials at the proper time. —
Should the Legislature elect other Sen
ators, it will rest with the Senate to de
termine which two are entitled to ad
mission. The President has taken no
9ide in the controversy regarding Geor
gia politics, as he regards the settlement
of the question rests with Congress.—
There seems to be no doubt he has full
confidence in the representations of
Gen. Terry.
The Mobile Register,
Some days since we took occasion to
deplore a journalistic controversy be
tween the Mobile Register and the Tri
bune, which we feared might lead to an
unpleasant issue. We have not yet
seen the response of Tribune, but our
effort as a peacemaker has elicited the
following reply from the Register :
“Self-respect and our respect for the
public, will preclude us from continu
ing this controversy further with the
editor of the Register, as the public can
no longer have any interest in that
which, after this clear and unmistakable
j exposure, becomes exclusively person
| al.”— Tribune , Feb. 8.
This oeiu S the text, the sermon is
that in the face of “self-respect
pect for the public,” the Tribune lias
continued the “controversy further” in
its every issue from that day to this.
We invite the special attention of the
editor of the Columbus (Ga.) Sun to the
foregoing. We also ask him to remem
ber that in this controversy with the
Tribune he has forgotten to tell his
readers that our quarrel with the Tri
bune is because it has deserted the Dem
ocratic party, and is warring upon it
with all the bitterness of its New York
namesake, or of any Jacobin sheet in
the South. The personal phase the Sun
deprecates is mere moonshine com
pared to the public issue. We want our
freedom back, and we are the foe of
Jacobinism and all its abettors, open or
disguised, direct or indirect. And we
repeat that, while not a Radical sheet,
the Tribune’s labors are worth more to
Radicalism than forty of its own papers
flying its own flag. It is a Trojan
horse, and we are after the enemies in
its belly.
We shall not be driven from our posi
tion as the mutual friend of the editors
of the Register and Tribune, and we
can but repeat our regret that a differ
ence of opinion has been productive of
controversy between them. Our friend
Forsyth over estimates the capacity and
influence of a Southern journal which
dares to fly a Radical flag. If our friend
Eggleston, in a moment of madness,
(which we cannot believe,) has gone to
the enemy, his craft will soon go down
under the black load, without the aid of
broadsides from the battery of the Reg
ister. Disclaiming anything but pro
found regret that two Southern gentle
men and editors should fall out, we
again invoke them to drive their quills
into their inkstands and,there let them
rest until they can both be used against
the desperate and dangerous foe of their
common mother, the South.
The Editor of the Montgomery
Mail mauls manners into a .Scala
wag member of the Alabama Legis
lature. —Major Hodgson of the Mont
gomery Mail has been teaching manners
to an Alabama scalawag. It was a
dire necessity which could have induced
the Major to dirty his hands in the way,
but as his hand is in, we would suggest
that he might give a few lessons of the
same sort to other members of the Ala
bama Legislature. The following is
the account of the affair in the Mail:
During the absence of the editor of
the Mail, a card appeared in the State
Journal of Sunday morning under the
caption of an advertisement denouncing
him in most insulting language. The
card was signed by Wm. L. Taylor,
member of the Legislature from Cham
bers county. As the editor of the Mail
had not written a word concerning Mr.
Taylor or done anything towards him
derogatory to his character, he deemed
it proper to send a note to that gentle
man informing him of his error and de.
manding a retraction. Mr. Taylor not
only refused to retract, but went so far
as to rise in his seat in the House and
announce in a boastful manner that he
had received from the editor of the Mail
a note informing him that the editor had
been absent from the city for several
weeks and had demanded a retraction
of the card published by himself in the
Journal of Sunday morning; but that
he had refused to retract and had no in
tention of doing so. This announce
ment of the honorable member was re
ceived with much applause by his party
friends, who had, no doubt, put him
forward for the valiant work in hand.
Thereupon, the editor of the Mail, after
having done all in his power to have a
peaceful settlement of the matter, met
the Hon. Mr. Taylor on the street and
knocked him down. The knocking
down process was continued until the
Honorable gentleman, with his back
upon the mother earth, whose bosom he
disgraces, made a complete and satis
factory retraction of his card.

Which one Did He Buy.—The New
York Tribune of Wednesday last has
the following special from Washington:
Nothing is positively known here as
to who will receive the Republican
nomination for Senators, which are to
be made on Monday next, but a Mr.
Rice, of Atlanta, President of the First
National Bank, is expected to be one of
the nominees. He has recently pur
chased the party organ in that city.

Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 16.—The Senate
met this morning at 11 o'clock. At 12
o'clock the Senate proceeded to the
Hall of the House of Representatives
and organized in joint convention for
the purpose of comparing the Senato
rial vote. Upon adding up the vote
the president ot the joint convention
announced that Hon. Foster Blodgett
having received 115 votes, being a ma
jority, is declared U. S. Senator for the
term of 0 years from March 4th, 1871;
H. P. Farrow having received 109

U. S. Senator for the term ending
March 4th, 1873; Hon. Richard H.
Whitely having received 110 votes, is
declared elected U. 8. Senator for the

purpose of breaking down and destroy
ing his influence, aud closes as follows:
Although those who procured the in
dictment alluded to now confess it was
only done for political effect, and rests
unsupported by any proof,yet it is there
and never until it is withdrawn, or I
have been triumphantly acquitted, can
I or will I. accept of the position to

Ntinraeful Disclosures as to How
Deorgla bas been Misrepresented.
Washington, February 14.
The Vice .President laid before the
Senate this morning a report from the
Secretary of War, enclosing the corres
pondence between General Sherman
and General Terry, in reference to Geor
gia matters, in answer to the recent
resolution of the Senate- The report
shows that Gen. Terry was assigned to
duty as the Commander of the Military
District of Georgia at the request of
Gov. Bullock. Gen. Terry requested
the President not to assign him to duty
there, but the assignment was made,
the President believing that he, Gen.
Terry, could execute the delicate and
responsible duties better than any one
else. Gen. Terry was, however, in
structed not to remove any officer, but
to let matters continue until a necessity
should arise.
Under date of January 2d, Gen. Terry
informs Gen. Sherman that he has be
come convinced that his assignment to
the command of that District was
necessary, and that he should be cloth
ed with all the powers given by the
Reconstruction Acts. Gen. Terry sub
sequently inquires if he has the power
to investigate the questiionof eligibility
of the members of the Legislature, or
should the taking of the oath by them
be conclusive. Gen. Hherman
ed by telegram:
Your dispatch was shown to the
President and Secretary of Wvr. The
result is in these words: "Exercise
your own discretion. If a flagrant case
arises when a disqualified person pro
poses to take the oath, investigate the
question of legality and determine, for
the time being, this right.”
Gen. Terry informs Gen. Sherman of
his belief that the Fifteenth Amendment
would be adopted; but expresses his
doubt of the Legislature passing neces
sary laws to put down the Ku-klux,
without purification. Sherman in re
ply, January 12, says: “I will sustain
you in the exercise of any authority
that will maintain, substantially, good
order until the State of Georgia is re
cognized by the Executive and Con
gress, and some lawful means be found
by which we can defend our friends
against the Ku klux band of assassins.”
Terry informs Sherman that the
trouble in the Legislature arises from
the union of a few Republicans with the
Democrats. The pretext is, that the
Governor is dishonest and has stolen
the funds of the State. I believe the
charges are unfounded and think they
are governed by their malice. Sher
man informs Terry that the use of sol
diers should be limited to maintaining
peace, and he (Terry) must be the judge
of how far it was wise or politic to in
terfere with the component parts ofthe
Legislature, or with their proposed leg
islation.
Under date of January 14th, Sher
man notifies Terry : "1 have shown
your dispatches to the President. He
says you are acting all right.” Sherman
to Terry, January 22d, says: “Decide
all questions as they arise, and do not
depend on us here to determine abso
lutely the questions of doubt; for the
Attorney General thinks you are the
only power there, other than that re
served to itself by Congress.”
Terry acquaints Sherman of the result
of this action with regard to organizing
the Legislature. The report is a lengthy
one, and contains a large number of
telegrams and communications which
have passed between Gens. Sherman
and Terry, and Gov. Bullock.
They are getting an overdose of Gov.
Bullock, of Georgia, at Washington.
He has, evidently, deceived the Presi
dent and Congress, and been guilty of
conduct most reprehensible in order to
compass his election to the U. S. Senate.
The Committee of the Senate at last
appear to be convinced of his duplicity,
and some of its members do not hesi
tate to accuse him of it to his face. His
plea for remanding Georgia to military
dictation, a few weeks ago, was the tur
bulent state of the community,generally,
there, and a belief in his aßserverations
was one of the principal causes of the
recommendation of the President and
the action of Congress- The State
being placed under military government
again, Bullock made bayonet Governor,
the Legislature sifted to suit his pur- j
P°»®B, he considered all safe for his
designs, and then attempts to soothe j
the people be has abused and libelled, j
by declaring in his message that “the
wrongs which have been done, the ;
lawless outrages which have been com
mitted in many parts of the State, are
the acts of but a few Irresponsible per
sons.” This is the result of all the ful- '
minations about the Ku-Klux which
Radicals have been uttering at Bullock’s
instance, from Senator Wilson and Gen.
Terry down to the smallest party dri
veller. “The outrages are the acts of
but a few irresponsible persons.”—

Senate called to order by President
Conley.
Prayer by Rev. W. B. Smith.
Journal of 2d inst. read.
Marion Henderson sworn in as Sena
tor from the 3d District.
Mr. Speer offered a resolution that
both branches of the General Assembly
proceed on Tuesday, the 15Ut inst., to
elect viva voce, one Senator to the Sen
ate of the United States, whose term
shall expire March 4ih, 1871; one whose
term shall expire March 4th, 1873; one
whose term shall expire March 4th,
1877.
Mr. Uigbee said there was a differ
ence of opinion existing as to the num
ber of Senators to be elected, and he
offered as a substitute a resoluuon that
the General Assembly meet on Tues
; day, the 15th, to elect Senators, viva
voce, in accordance with the act of
Congress.
Mr. Harris hoped that upon reflection
Mr. Higbee would withdraw his substi
tute.
Mr. Candler was glad to see that Sc-n
--atois were given to reflection. The
Senate Bhould not elect until there was
a vacancy. No vacancy now existed.
There was no Jaw authorizing the elec
tion. Such an election would not be
the voice of the people of Georgia or her
representatives; it would be an outrage.
Mr. Merrill advocated the election of
Senators.
Mr. Candler asked if Dr. Miller did
not get a majority of the Simon pure,
unadulterated.
Mr. Merrell replied that perhaps he
did.
Mr. Hinton asked if Congress had not
declared that Georgia was entitled to
representation in Congress.
Mr. Merrell answered “Yes.” He
thought it was doubtful whether three
should be elected.
Mr. Hungerford asked if Mississippi
had not furnished au example.
Mr. Merrell said he would not com
mit himself.
Mr. Hungerford called the previous
question, when
Aaron Alpeoria Bradley arose and
hoped it would not be pressed.
An attempt to shove the previous
question failed.
Aaron Alpeoria protested against the
“indecent haste” and efforts to “gag.”
President Conley called him to order.
The speaker stated that he was giving
his reasons for not voting for United
States Senators, and protested against
the indecent haste.
Mr. Campbell, (colored,) made along
and labored effort in favor of an elec
tion. It made up in length what it
lacked in force or originality.
Mr. Higbee went back on his substi
tute and withdrew it.
Mr. Harris called the previous ques
tion.
Aaron Alpeoria moved to lay the
whole subject on the table until 1871.
Lost.
The vote was taken on Mr. Speer’s
resolution with the following result:
Yeas—Brock, Bruton, Campbell, col.,

On motion, the resolution was ordered
to be transmitted to the House.
On motion, the Senate adjourned un

The vote shows that Bradley and

The Governor’s Secretary here enter
ed and announced a communication (in
writing) from “His Excellency, the
Provisional Governor,” recommending
the admission of A. W. Johnson ol
Forsyth county, and W. G. B. Rogers,
of Union county.
Mr. Powell, of Decatur couuty, then
stepped up and was qualified. A mes
sage from the Senate waß here announc
ed and read by Secretary Mills. It was
to the effect that the Senate had passed
a resolution to elect United States Sen
ators, the House concurring, on Tuesday
15th instant, at 12 m.
The name of A. W. Johnson, from
Forsyth, was called, when
Mr. Scott rose to object to the qualifi
cation. He asked if the House waß or
ganized ?
The Speaker declined to answer ; but
had read a communication from Gen.
Terry to Gov. Bullock, (incorporated in
Bullock’s message) saying that the
7'° a oreanized for the purpose of
complying witn ine wua-.cL. ~f t^e
reconstruction acts.
Mr. Scott wanted to know what law
the Speaker recognized as governing
the House.
The Bpeaker said he was proceeding
under the reconstruction acts, and again
called for A. W. Johnson, but he did
not appear.
A communication from J. H. Pen
land, of Union county, to Gov. Bullock
in reference to his application for relief
from disabilities, and requesting to be
sworn in, was here read. Bullock re
ferred the matter to tho House.
Mr. Shumate desired to have read an
affidavit from Mr. Penland, that he
signed this application through traud.
Mr. Shumate moved that the House
refer the matter to a committee, or to
Gen. Terry, and that neither Penland
nor Rogers be sworn in until a proper
decision has been made.
Rogers is claimed as the next highest,
Mr. Penland having been declared inel
igible by Gen. Terry’s original order, as
being one who had admitted his ineli
gibility by applying for relief.
The Speaker ruled that the affidavit
of Penland could not be read, that no
appeal could be had from this decision,
and that Rogers should be sworn in.
While the matter was being discussed,
and the Speaker was striking right and
left, and always falling back on the po
sition that he was acting under Terry’s
orders, Rogers was quietly sworn in,
and when the Speaker found he was
sworn in, he declared there was noth
ing before the House.
Mr. Shumate desired to have a pro
test filed and read. The Speaker said
he could file as many as he chose, but it
would not now be read.
Mr. Tweedy, of Richmond, offered a
resolution to concur in the Senate reso
lution providing for the election of Uni
ted States Senators.
Mr. Scott, of Floyd, obtained the
floor, and spoke in opposition to the
resolution. He said he knew the Radi
cals would urge that they should elect
on to-morrow, as that was the second
Tuesday after organization, and that
the State Constitution required an elec
tion by that time. But he said that this
law was not recognized by the Speaker
or the powers that ruled us. If it was,
then the House was illegally organized,
as a register in bankruptcy had quali
fied all the members, while the State
law required the qualification to be
1 made by a Judge of Supreme or Super
ior Court. He thought they were in a
dilemma.
[Aaron was seen winking at the “cul
lud,” but it was not known what was
the significance of the wink.]
O’Neal, of Lowndes discussed the
matter at some length.
Mr. Scott rose to a point of order.—
The Rules of the House required the
House to adjourn at 1 o’clock, and he
moved to adjourn.
The Speaker ruled that O’Neal, of
Lowndes, had the floor, and he could
not entertain the motion.
Mr. Scott said the Speaker had ruled
on other occasions that a motion to ad
journ was always in order.
The Bpeaker said he had never enter
tained such a motion while a member '
was speaking.
O’Neal continued in favor of the reso
lution.
Mr. Turner, (c01.,)0f Bibb, interrupt
ed him and said he was one of those
who was opposed to the election of Sen
ators to morrow, if it could be avoided.
He desired to ask O’Neal if the Legis-!
lature could not decline to act in the!
election of Senators, and remain a ter
ritorial government?
Turner seemed to be afraid that their
action in the premises might make the
Code of Georgia the law, and enable
the Democrats to get possession of the
government.. [This threw light on
Aaron’s winks, especially when taken
in connection with Aaron’s tulmina
tion. ]
O’Neal wandered about trying to ex
plain, but sat down finally and the pre
vious question was called and carried
and the resolution adopted.
House adjourned till 10 a. m. to
morrow.
SENATE.
Tuesday, Feb. 15, 1870.

lution bringing on the election of Uni
ted States Senators.
The Senate then took a recess until
11 j o’clock, a. m.
Senate re-assembled at 12 o’clock m.
A message from the House was re
[ ceived.
Mr. Nuunally offered the following
resolution:
Whereas, by the Legislature of 1868,
Dr. H. V. M. Miller was regularly elec
ted to the unexpired short term of the
United States Senate; and,
Whereas, The Congress of the United
States has since passed an act to further
promote reconstruction in the State of
Goorgia, and by virtue of said act sev
eral persons then members and voting
in said election, have been declared in
eligible; and,
Whereas, It is a well settled fact that
after counting out all the illegal votes,
j Dr. H. Y. M. Miller still has a majority
i of all the votes cast; be it,
Resolved, By the Senate aud House
that there can be no election for said
unexpired term, and that the said Dr.
H. V. M. Miller be and be is hereby de
clared the regularly elected Senator
from this State to fill said unexpired
term.
Mr. Harris raised the point of order
that both branches of the General As
sembly bad resolved to elect Senators,
and such a resolution could not be en
tertained.
The President sustained the point of
order.
Mr. Nuunally moved a reconsidera
tion of the resolution to bring on the
election oi Senators.
Aaron Alpeoria favored reconsidera
tion.
The President decided the motion out
of order.
Mr. Candler presented a protest
against the election of Senators, signed
by himself and others, as followr:
The undersigned, members of the
Senate of Georgia, present at an elec
tion this day ordered by the General
Assembly of Georgia, a9 organized un
der the direction of Rufus B. Bullock,
claiming to be “Provisional Governor”
of the State of Georgia, with the appro
val of Brevet Maj. Gen. Alfred 11. Fer
ry, Commanding the Military District
of the State ot Georgia, for Senators in
the Congress of the U. States, one for
the term expiring March 4, 1871. one
for the term expiring March 4, 1873,
and one for the term expiring March 4,
1877, present the following, their pro
test against the said election, and ask
that the same he entered upon the Jour
nal of the Senate.
The said election is illegal and unau
thorized by the acts ot Congress known
as the reconstruction acts, because, ua
der said acts, at the session of the Gen
eral Assembly of Georgia, held in the
city of Atlanta in the year 1868, two
Senators were elected, the one for the
term ending March 4, 1871, the other
for the term ending March 4,1873; that
the persons so elected are entitled to
the places to which they are elected;
are now before the Senate of the United
States claiming the same, and the said
Senate has Dot determined that they
are not entitled to their seats.
The act of Congress approved July
25, 1866, “to regulate the time and
manner of holding elections for Sena
tors in Congress,” requires that the
Legislature chosen next Drecediug the
expiration of the time for which any
Senator was elected to represent said
State in Congress, shall, on the second
Tuesday after the meeting and organi
zation thereof, proceed to elect such
Senator. In accordance with that act
the Senators now claiming seats in the
Senate of the United States were elected.
According to the Constitution of the
State of Georgia, anew Legislature
will be elected “on Tuesday after the
first Monday in November” of the
present year, and will assemble on the
“second Monday in January, 1871.”
This is the Legislature chosen next pre
ceding the expiration of the terms of
the Senators elected in 1868, and under
said act of Congress is the Legislature
authorized to elect their successors.
If this be the first session of the Gen
eral Assembly of Georgia, under the
reconstruction acts of Congress, then
the election for Senators to fill the
terms expiring on the 4tU of March,
lOTO, 1977, respectively, ia illegal,
because, even as admitted by all, wheth
er given to the provisional faith or not,
a Legislature will be elected on Tuesday
after the first Monday in November,
1872, which will be competent to the
election of the Senator for the term
expiring March 4, 1873, and no other
term.
A vacancy could only exist because
of the death or resignation of the per
son elected, or by a vote of the Senate,
which determines the qualifications of
its members. An election has been
held, the persons olected are living,
having not resigned, and the Senate of
the United States has not by any ac
tion informed the Legislature of Geor
gia, that there is a vacancy in its rep
resentation in that body. Therefore,
protesting against the election to be
held as authorized, we will decline to
participate theriu.

Last three approves so far as
Hill and Miller are concerned.
Dr. W. A. Mathews, Senator from
the 23d District, was sworn in.
Mr. Hungerford arose to object to the
protest being entered on the journal of
the Senate on the ground that it charged
Rufus B. Bullock with claiming to be
Provisional Governor, when the Presi
dent announced that the hour of 12 m.
had arrived, and the Senate would pro
ceed to elect Senators. Mr. Speer
nominated Mr. Foster Blodgett as Sen
ator for the term ending March 4th,
1877.

Mr. Bruton nominated R. H. Whitely
for the term ending March 4, 1871.
Mr. Whitely received all the votes
cast for the last, except Mr. Matthews.
Mr Matthews and thirteen others did
not vote.
Messrs. Blodgett, Farrow and White
ly were declared elected.
Mr. Hungerford resumed his speech
against entering the protest on the jour- j
nal.
A lengthy discussion ensued. Messrs.
Candler, Brock, Bradley, Dunning and j
Speer in favor of entering it, and Mr.
Bruton against.
Upon the vote being taken, the mo
tion to enter the protest on the journal
was carried.
Senate then adjourned until 11 o’clock
a. m., to-morrow.
house.
Tuesday, February 15.
House met at 10 a. m., and was called
to order by the Speaker.
Prayer by Rev. Mr. Clark.
Calling of the roll dispensed with.
Journal of yesterday read.
Mr. Bryant moved to reconsider so
much of the action of the House, as
provided by resolution of yesterday, to
bring on an election for United States
Senators.
Mr. O’Neal arose to a point of order.
No objection was made on yesterday,
and notice of reconsideration given.
The resolution had been transmitted to
the Senate, and had passed beyond the
control of the House.
Mr. Shumate said the Senate was not
in session when the resolution was con
curred in, and that it had never been
transmitted ; it was still in the House.
Speaker ruled that the motion could
not be entertained.
Fitzpatrick, of Bibb, appealed from
the decision. Yeas and nays cal!ed,yeas
76, nays 36. Decision sustained.
Somebody wanted to take a recess
until 12 in., but the Speaker said there
were several present to be sworn in.
W. B. Smith, U. S. Court Clerk, was
in attendance to do the swearing.
Mr. Brewster, of Harris, Mr. Smith,
of Telfair, and Mr. Bennett, of Jack
son, were announced as candidates for
acception into full membership.
Brewster’s name was sent in by Bul
lock,as “next highest to ineligible Hud
son.” He slid in gracefully.
Bennett, of Jackson, was one of the
“old issue,” aud no objection being
made, he went in magically; but Smith,
of Telfair, being elected under Bullock’s
proclamation in one of the counties
where no election was originally held,
was objected to as not having been en
dorsed by "His Excellency.”
Mr. Scott moved to admit Mr. Smith,
and Mr. O’Neal, of Lowndes, moved to
take a recess until 11J o’clock.
O’Neal’s motion was carried, and the
House took a recess accordingly.
After recess, the House was called to
order by the Speaker 11:30 o’clock. A
message from “His Excellency,” etc.,
was here announced and read. It pro
vided (for the House has a Commissary)
that Joel Harris, of Glasscock, being
“next highest” in place of J. H. Nunn,
“ineligible,” should be sworn in.
This was accordingly done.
Mr Scott, of Floyd, again called for
the admission and qualification ofSmith,
of Telfair,
The Speaker said that he had already
decided that such a course would be
traveling out of “reconstruction track,”
and he could not now entertain the
motion.
Johnson, of Spalding, offered a reso
lution that the House now proceed to
elect three Senators, in the following
order : For the long term, first; second
term, second; and short term last.
Mr. Bryant gave notice that he would
file a protest against action in the prem
ises.
Mr. Tweedy nominated lion. Foster
Blodgett lor me “long term.”
The Clerk then proceeded to call the
roll.
Scott, ot Floyd, when his name was
called, declined to vote, and handed in
a protest against the action.
All the Democrats declined to vote.
The Speaker declared that Foster
Blodgett received 86 votes, and Harri
son, colored, of Franklin, 1; and that
Blodgett was elected.
Someone then nominated “ circum
locution Farrow ” for the second best
term. No one else was nominated.—
Democrats declined to vote.
The call proceeded.
Mr. Radish voted for our special
friend, Mr. Golden, col’d of Liberty.
He shall be remembered.
The vote stood as follows:
H. P. Farrow 78
W. A. Golden, colored 1
Geo. Wallace, colored 1
Mr. Turner voted for Wallace. He
now desired to change to Farrow. He
had promised to vote ‘for a nigger’—he
hnd rtnnn it, ami hia conscience Was
satisfied —a worthy turner !
O’Neal, of Lowndes, nominated Rich
ard H. Whiteley.
A negro nominated “Hon. James M.
Sims, of Chatham.”
Mr. Gober nominated Goal.
The vote stood as follows:
Whitely 82
Sims 0
Coal 1
Glower (c.) concluded “de bottom
rail” was not on top, and with depre
cating tone said, “wid all jew respect to
my ’ouerbul fren, Mr. Onerbul Sims,
I’se gwine to change my wote to de
Onibul Mr. Whitly.” He then ‘turned.’
So said Houston (c.) who nominated
Sims. He further said that he “jes
lived to winderkake de lights of his
race and let de pioper qushun go fort to
de hole sivilizod yeath, as how a cullud
pussua could be woted for Senator.”
O’Neal,of Lowndes, moved to adjourn
till 11J a. m., to morrow. It was done
amidst "applause” on one side of the
“galleries.”
The following is the protest of Scott
and others :
Whereas, Hon. Joshua Hill has been
duly elected United States Senator to
fill the unexpired term which ends on
the 4th of March, 1873, and the Hon.
H. Y. M. Miller has been dulyelected
United States Senator to fill the unex
pired term which ends the 4th of March,
1871, by the General Assembly of the
State of Georgia; and whereas, this
General Assembly of the State of Geor
! gia, “so called,” has obtained its pres
ent organization by force, violence and
fraud; and whereas, the Constitution
and the laws are disregarded in its
proceedings, protesting against the
legality of all its acts ; believing them
to be illegal, unauthorized and void, we
decline to vote.

The Future of Corn. —From the
St. Louis Circular of Biackmar, Rob
erts, Chandler & Cos., of Feb. 10th, we
extract the following ;
The flattering prospect for obtaining a
high price for cotton last year induced a
very general employment ot all the la
boring force of the cotton States in its
production, to the general neglect of
corn. The corn question therefore be
comes an important one to them, all the
more that lrom Virginia, Kentecky, \
North Carolina, and Tennessee, thou
sands of people are pouring into Louisi
ana, Arkansas and Texas, a fact sure to
increasa by four fold the demand for j
corn.
The crop >n the first place is more
than two million bushels short. In the j
second place a very large percentage of.
this crop was spoiled, and in the third !
place the high price of pork has induced
a very liberal consumption of corn upon
the farm, leaving the amount of sound
merchantable corn available for market
unusally small. This is shown to be
true by the fact that the stock stated to ■
be in store at all important points is j
very much under the average.
When the demands of the cotton
States are considered, with the proba
bility of a large increase in the demand
J for consumption on the “Plains” this
season by reason ot great emigration,
| every candid mind will conclude that
the probabilities for a considerable rise
in the price amount to almost an abso
lute certainty.
Tennessee has usually been able to
supply to a great extent ti e demands of
Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia,
ana South Carolina,but now these States
are in this market with their orders,and
even Tannesse herself is buying largely
in this market. It is quite certain tnaj
prices can go no lower, while they may
and in all probability will advance very
materially. Every dollar of expense
saved upon provisions Is so much clear
gain upon the next cotton crop.
Corn has dragged badly throughout
the week ruling lower all around. Be
cause buyers on Southern account could
not ship, they therefore stood out of the '
market. We suggest that parties or-;
dering corn through their commission
merchants should give them the discre
tionary power of buyiDg when the mar
ket is “flat” and storing until they
could ship. In this way s@7c. per
bushel—nay often more—could besaved,
which is no light matter.

The Market.— The steadiness which
Liverpool shows under our receipts
astonishes everybody. But the expla
nation may be as follows : According
to most of the annual Liverpool circu
lars, it was expected that America and
India would each give England 250,000
bales excess over the supply in 1869.
Under this increase of 500,000 bales,
prices were expected to range about
lid. It may be that the Indian accounts
now being received, indicate that no
excess is to be expected. In that case
the increase from America of 250,000
would be absorbed by the increased
consumption (from 50,000 to 55,000
weekly), and England would be no bet
ter off lor supply than in 1869, when
prices averaged 12fd. for Middling
Orleans.

Why Is It that so many children die under
the age of five yearn? Tnat a largo proportion
of children die under that age, has long been
a subject of remark, and without a satisfactory
cause ascertained, it is certain.
Also, it is known that worms exist in the hu
man system from its earliest infancy; there
fore parents, especially mothers, who are
more constantly with their children, cannot
be too observing of the first symptoms of worms;
fo‘ so surely as they exist, can they be

And may be administered with the UTMOST

I am free to confess that I know of no remedy
recommended by the ablest authors so oertuiu
and speedy in its oiiects. On the contrary they
are uncertain in the extreme. My object iu
writing you is to find out upon what terms I can
get the medicine directly from you. ll 1 can
got it upon easy terms, I shall use a great deal
of it. lam aware that the use of Buch article*
is contrary to tho teachings and practice oi a
great majority of the regular line of 31. D.’h,
but I seo no just cause or good souse indie
carding a remedy which we know to bo e!h
cient, simply because we maybe ignorant oi
its combination. For my own part, I shall
make it a rule to use all and any means to all
leviate suffering humanity which 1 may bo
able to command not hesitating because
someone more ingenious than myself may
have learned its efiects first, and secured the
sole rightto secure that knowledge. However,
I am by no moans an advocate or supporter
