X3T The Bill abolishing the frank,

from the earnings of the past month.

never be, until the Peuiteutiaries are
emptied.
The people of East Tennessee,
are taking steps looking to the forma

When the law abolishing the
franking privilege goes into operation, a

It will require a few more cham

At present Georgia is between hawk

bone of contention.
Robixson’s Circus.—Tho Columbus
papers report several disturbances be
tween the citizens and showmen of this
concern. One boy also was fatally in
jured by the full of a heavy ball, which
one'bf the performers was throwing up
and catching with his feet.
His father attached the property of
the circus, for 510,000 damages.
The employees of these caravans are

And yet we are called upon to fra

Never let our people become the fol
lowers and worshipers of this modern
Baal.
Specie Paymests-
A return to the old method of the
redemption in specie upon presentation,
of all paper issues, is simply impossible
at this juncture.
Such a proceeding would bankrupt
the whole country.
It is estimated that the proportion of
gold and silver in the Treasury vanits,
and on deposit at the various banks of
the Union, is about $300 for every $2,-
400 in currency.
By no process of elongation can the
former be made to cover tbe latter, if
an arbitrary edict should call for specie
redemption.
Again, such a procedure would add
at least 20 per cent, to the entire debt
of the country, as all money transac
tions have been predicated npon a dis
count of that amount, or more, npon tbe
value of gold.
Thus, if A buys a mule for $200 in
currency, with gold at a premium of 20
per cent, and is required to settle in tpe
vie, he must pay $240 in currency to
meet his obligation.
But experience will demonstrate that
this bona fide redemption of paper in
specie, has never been practicable or
even possible, during the most prosper
ous ante helium period.
Tijis will he patent ti^all, when it is
remembered that our banks were usual,
ly permitted by their charter to issue
paper to the amount of three times tbe
value of the specie in their vaults, and
in the majority < f eases, (he actual infl.i
t : on of the circulating medium was even
in a greater ratio. Hence, when a sus
picion of the integrity of any bank offi
cer, or other mis-management, induced
a run upon the concern, unless cheeked
by the promptest restoration of public
confidence, a suspension, and assignation
of assets, was the inevitable result
The word confidence, is all that is nec
essary in commercial transactions. Nor
is it possible even to multiply coin and
bullion to such an extent, as actually to
meet and cover, dollar for dollar, the
amount of money actually needed on
change.
A very general impression prevails
that the country is flooded with green,
backs, and therefore they must, in time,
depreciate in matket value, somewhat
after the manner of tho French assig-
nets, or our owii Confederate currency.
This is a great mistake, however. Sta
tistical tables will show that, on the con
trary, the combined circulation of all
the national batiks, and legal tender
notes, will fall far shirt of the paper
money which was actually afloat in the
country, at the breaking out of hostili
ties in 1861.
Take, for instance, the city of Savan
nah. At present, her banking capital
will fall short by several millions’
what it was anterior to the war, and the
same will apply to all parts of the South.
1 n former times, every respoctablo vil
lage boasted its bank or bank agency,
and money was so plentiful that 6 or 7
per cent, interest, was esteemed an ex
cellent investment. N^vr, ’despite the
continuance of usury laws, from 1J to
2} per cent, per month, is opeDly de
manded and paid.
The obvious cause of this, is the scar-,
city of money and the demand for it.
Again, the stringency of the money
market is constantly augmented by the
periodical redemption of United States
bonds, as they mature, or are bought up
by the Secretary of the Treasury.—
These are in effect a part of the circula
ting medium, as they pass from hand to
hand, and are received in payment of
lebts, and the purchase of property.—
Thus tile paradox is presente.I of in
creased financial stringency, and multi-
plied failures of business bouses, pro
portioned to the reduction of the nation -
al debt, and the consequent contraction
of the circulating medium. It must be
remembered, also, that practically, all
the gold and silver of tho country has
been retired, and is hoarded up in idlc-

Tiie Georoia Senators —The follow,

Georgia Legislature are not tip, in point
_ __ of character and standing, to what was
nta Constitution he reprimanded by hoped fir from the regenated Legisla
tive Speaker lor perverting the language j ture ol that State. Mr. Blodgett only

excluded. Not taken up. [Oh ye dig- j “ent republicans ol Georgia. Mr. Far.

Mr. Tumlin, of Randolph, moved >» the present Attorney General
that the Senate be now notified that the
Senator Pomeroy is getting up a
temperance society in the Capitol, or
rather a society for the abolishment of
abuses. Some illnatured wag insinu
ates, that the Senator will be the first
nian abolished.
This reminds us of the famous speech
of Mr. Westcoit of Florida, who paint
ed a sketch, black as hades, ol [congres
sional coriuption, and said the waters
lit the Potomac could not cleanse that
augedn stable.

Washington, February 22.—The Presi
dent still refuses to meddle in the Geor
gia Senatorial question. He told White-
jy, Farrow and Till(?) yesterday, it
was lor the Senate to decide who should
have seats He also expressed the hope
that Georgia would be admitted belore
the Fifteenth Amendment? shall have
been declared adopted.
Tht credentials of Whitojc And Far
row were presented in theWsenate, but
objected to by=D *ke as in„«Uer disre-
gurd of the law. They
dawn, for the preseDt.
In the every-day transactions of busi
ness, specie confers no benefit, for it will
not pass, in tbe usual manner, at par, and
the people are not posted as to its rela
tive value, and dont wish to be eneum
bered w ith it.
In conclusion, we would remark, that
in our judgment tu-o solutions alone can
he found for our financial difficulties.—
The first consists in the wholesale re
pudiation of the national debt. We do
not propose to argue this point at pres
ent, but will simply say, that owing to
the extravagdnee and corruption of the
government, the alienation of the south
ern people, and the disaffection of the
West, under the burden of oppressive
taxation, this result may be nearer at
hand, than tbe luxurious bend bolder
may imagine.
The other is to be found, in tho fur
ther expansion of the national currency,
tc meet the demands of commerce.
Unless Congress will take this step,
money must become tighter, and the
rates of interest increase, to the sad det
riment of tbe small capitalist and the
laboring classes.
Whether they will afford this relief or
r.ol is at present suspended in doubt.—
In the mean time^ggggi only counsel
economy in all expenditures, and the
curtailment of the speculating mania.
In times like these, better furl our
sails and hug the shores of safety, than
adventure into uuknown seas l without
chart or compass. Patienee and pru
dence should ^>e our watchwords.

Hill,

State, and is said to be a very able and
popular man. lie has not been much
identified with the quarrels of the fac
tions in the State. Mr. vVhitely, elected
for the short term, was the Republican,
candidate for Congress in the Third Dis
triet, but w as defeated by his Democrat
ic competitor, Nelson Tilt. W hat the
result willtbe, it is impossible to tiy.—
It ,'.oks now as there would be agreat
muddle in the matter.
It is not nt all probable that the
House will declare Georgia entitled to
representation, except upon conditions
such as have boon imposed upon Vir
ginia and Missippi. The Judiciary
Committee of the Senate, it is undei-
stood, will hold that a new declaration
of the right ot the State to representa
tion is unnecessary, and that the cre
dentials of Hill and Miller are prop
el !y before it tor eou.-idenuioo
ive districts to sustain the Commission
ers of Election herein provided lor in
the performance of their dnlieS, and
shall detail a suffieient force of deputies
to secure order ut the elections herein
provided for; and in the event of the
Idrco of any such marshal proving inade
quate, the marshal shall have the right
to call on the nearest commanding officer
of troops of the United States to aid
such marshal to preset ve order.
Sec. 5. It shall be the duty of the
Secretary of War to so station the
troops ot the United States, immediately
preceding any election herein provided
fur, at convenient points adjacent to the
principal polling places of the several
Congressional Districts, mid in the prin
cipal cities, at and preceding any elec
tion as aforesaid.
Sec. 6. All questions in regard to the
regularity and fairness of the election
of members of Congress shall be referi ed
by the Secretary of the Interior to the
House ut Representatives, who shall
have exclusive jurisdiction thereof; and
in like manner all questions relating to
the election of electors for President
and Vice-President shall be referred to
the President, who shall appoint, a com
mittee ot not less than three suitable
pel sons to examine and decide all such
questions, and whose decisions shall be
final and conclusive.
Sec. 7. This act shall go into effect
when Congress shall, by resolution, du
ly declare that three fourths of the
Stales have ratified the proposed fif
teenth amendment, and have decreed
that the Constitution is amended accor

The members weut home well paid

Nine dollars a day, is a woudeiful
panaeftt to all the political ills and
troubles, of these modern Soluns. Vcr
doubtedly a nicely laid plan to insure
permanent Radical ascendency in the
United States, but the proverb says
such plans “gang nit aglee.” The plan
to carry the South by negro votes the
Radicals themselves admit will not be
worth a bean straw unless supplemen
ted by force and fraud. It is a water
power good so long as you carry the
water up hill nnd let it run down. And
iu relation to the other Sta es, we im
agine the scheme will be hardly fixed
up before the Radicals will find that
new tssnes—the tariff and labor ques
tions for illustration—have disarranged
party organizations to an extent which
will seriously epnfuse calyjlations based
on a supremacy secured by tho Degro
vole.—Sac. Sews.
Bad Accident on the Central Rail
road.—We have information of the fol
lowing sad accident which happened on
the Central Railroad on Wednesday.—
The annexed facts will explain the in
currence and show that no blame cun
be attached to the road : ‘An empty
lumber train going up on the Central
Railroad stopped at the seventy-six
mile post to wood-up, and while there,
two boys made their appearanco. The
elder one of these boys got on the train
and beckoned to his little brother to do
likewt-e, and in the attempt he lell b--
tween two cars while the train was in
motion and had both legs broken, one
car passing over him. The train was
immediately stopped as soon as the ac
cident became known and the little boy
prnperiy cared for, the road authorities
promptly dispatching to his father. It
i^nut. exjifeted that ho can reeuvei
front’ his injuries.’ While no blame
car, be attached to the authorities of
the road, the accident shows how much
prudence and caution should be exei -
ctsed by Conductors of trains, especial
ly t hose devoted exclusively to freight
purpose.
Biuee writing tbe above we learn that
tie boys were the Hons of Mr. Davis,
provide.
The House consists of 175 members,
and hence 88 are necessary to transact
business. It has time and again been
decided in past sessions of the Assem
bly, and is a recognized parliamentary
law, that unless a majority of the whole
1 ouse voted, a question was not settled.
Under this constitutional test, the
election for Senators is simply invalid.
In no case was an aggregate of 88 votes
cast. The entire vote in Blodgett’s case
was 85; in Farrow’s 80; in Whiteley’s,
83—none, reaching to 88, the requisite
number to make the election good—
while Blodgett received 12 illegal, or
“next highest’’ Voles, Farrow and
Wl.it-’ey ti e sa ne, reducing lire aggrei
gate still more.
We simply put this on record as
one of the illegalities of this re-construc
tion.—Atlanta Constitution.
Congressional — IVaslungton, Februa
ry 19.—HoL'sf.—The House proceeded
with the consideration of the appropria
tions.
There is no quorum, aud a call of the
House is now proceeding.
A bill was introduced and refirred to
provide lor the stay of execution in cer
tain eases This hill is intended to offer
swine relief against the operation of re
cent legislative decisions. It gives a
stay of execution on nil judgments foun
ded on debts contracted prior to the
11th of July. 1862—date of passage of
the-first legal tender act—for from one
to hoir years, according to amount, but
provides that if the plaintiff in such
judgment will receive pay in currency,
there shall be no stay, aod that when
ever specie pavric.ts are resumed, all
stays under the act shall terminate.
