The Legislature.
Now in session to all appearances is a
very slow conch. Not being fully acquain
ted with all their surroundings we will
not insist opon the correctness to which
appearances point, atrd take for granted
that members are “ scrub stock” The
future however will place all usen and
things in their true light. W« learn from
onr exchanges that a message from Gov.
Jenkins informed the Senate that several
banks of Augusta hud surrendered their
. charters and that ihe Governor appeals to
tho Legislature for clemency towards the
i fficcrs of these banks- Now we arw cut
rious to know on what grounds the Gov
ernor buses his appeal for clemency.—-
Many of the bank officers in the State
]>ernut their bills to be bought and sold
at five, ten, and twenty cents in the dol
lar, while report says, they own hundreds
of bales of cotton and are so rich they are
able to become large stockholders in and
officeis of National Banks. Clemency to
such men is injustice to the people and
the Senator or Representative who rotes
for any measure that relcivs these mil
lionaires from any obligation they are now
under would act wisely t* prepare for re
tirement if not something worse. They
should be required to pay the last dollar
they owe. The class of laws improperly
called “ relief laws ” are becoming odious
to a majority of the people. The labor
ing man who is required to comply with
all bis contracts is at a loss to understand
the justice of the demand for relief set up
by a certain class, because forsooth they
are bank men. But, oh 1 says one “ the
banks are all broke.” How it is then wc
ask that their officers are richer than ever
and own hundreds of sha-es in new
banks?
Repudiation indirect, which seems to
be in great favor with many members,
has onoc been repudiated by ihe people
fend they are wearied with its agitation.
The homestead bill as proposed by some
is indirect repudiation. Be careful gen-
tietnon, that in attempting to relieve the
needy you do not protect the dishonest.

TREASURY CIRCULAR—SOUTHERN MA1-
UFACTURES TO UK TAXED.
Washington, Feb. 5—A circular has
been issued from the Treasury Depart
ment rescinding former orders in relation
to the taxation of manufactured articles
in the hands of manufacturers in the Sou
thern States, whieh have hitherto been
ctetnpt from taxation. After the 1st of
March, such articles will be subject to
,. the prescribed rates of taxation under the
Excise Law, no matter what may be the
date of their manufacture.
CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.
Washington, Feb. 5.—In the House
to-day, an amendment to the roles was
offered and laid on the table, to set apart
one day in each week for the considera
tion of public business, to be called the question I think
ually introducing bills to mutilate the
Code, and always assign as a reason our
new status. They say rhe *ew order of
thinof require radical chang. s in our lows.
I admit that a few important changes are
absolutely required to-wcettlie wants of
the people, but l wo«4d rw4 have our ex
cellent code so mutilated iTwit the codifiers
can not recognize it. I am not wedded
to a law because it is old. One which
doe* not meet the present neces>ities of
the people should bo amended or repealed,
but I fear too many legislators are carried
away by innovation and are found sup
porting new measures which they have
never stopped to investigate.
Last week was one of much interest at
the capitol. The election for two l T . S.
Senators took place on Wednesday. The
result of which is known to your readers.
Neither of the successful gentlemen were
candidates. Several distinguished visitors
were present. Tlte naileries were thronged
with beauty and fashion. Of course gal
lant marriageable members left the floor
and went to tbe galleries. Tbe ladies all
favored the election of Mr. Stephens—
not on account of their partiality for
confirmed old bachelors,” but they are
ardent admirers of peerless ability.
Gen. Gartrell had hosts of lady friend*
who intended on the sixth ballot, if he
Had not withdrawn his name, to have
thrown to every member who voted for
him a bouquet. The General is consider
ed a handsome man by the ladi«.*,nnd never
wanting in gallantry, especially to them.
Several interesti: g addresses were de
livered here by outsiders last week.
Tuesday night Hon. Joshua Hill un-
dertqpk to prove that he had been loyal
to the U. 8. Government during tbe late
war, that he could take the test oath, and
therefore ought to be elected Senator.—
He did not come up to my standard of
loyalty. He is an able bodied man and
should have taken up arms io support of
the government of his choice.
Tuesday night Col. Napier of this place
made an appeal in favor of the Stay law.
He contends that many of the wealthy will
pay no more attention to the heartrending
cries of the poor widow* and orphans of
deceased soldiers’, than a blue tailed
hawk would to the cries of a crippled
rooster.
Rev. Mr Tucker, of Atlanta, delivered
a very patriotic address on Friday night,
in behalf of the poor of Georgia, calling
attention especially to the six hundred
poor in the city of Atlanta, who are al
most destitute of clothing, food and shel
ter. Many of these poor are the widows
and orphans of gallant men who fell in
the late Confederate cause. These men
sacrificed their lives in our cause, their
property was swept from their families by
the casualties of war, and their widows
and children are beggars. Every county
in the State has such beggars. Something
must be done to relieve their necesities.
Shame will rest upon the people of the
State if ire refuse to listen to their cries.
Last night Mr. King delivered an ad
dress in favor of theiotroiuction of white
laborers iuto Georgia. First, I think we
should encourage white Southern laborers
and industrious negroes if such can be
found, who are in no way responsible for
the result of the late war.
Among tbe most important bills before
the Legislature is the Homestead Bill,
which has passed the Senate, giving to
each head of a family one hundred acres
of land free from levy and sale, five addi
tional acres for each child under eighteen
years of age, and ten additional acres for
each invalid entirely dependent upon the
heads of such families for support. The
value of such real estate is not to exceed
twenty five hundred dollars.
The freedmen’s code is undergoing a
close scrutiny by a joint judiciary com
mittee. I think it will be adopted as re
ported by the commissioners with but few
alterations.
It would seem from the action of the
Senate that the Penitentiary is not to be
abolished. There has been no vole taken
in the House, which establishes clearly
the wishe* of its members. This vexed
ill be settled this week.

There are doubtless cogent reasons why
Mexico is at this time terra prohibits to

We were consoled with the idea that not
withstanding we fad lost property and nation
ality by war, we had remaining, the “right of
expatriation,” but it seems that a mistake was
made on our part, and that we counted with
out our host. The right of expatriation don't
amount to muen any how. A man might ns
well stay where lie was born, even if great in
ducements are offered him, and he desires ev

t-:d States fought three years for the right of

Ga., on Wednesday evening, Jan. 24th,
abont six o’clock. A dark cloud, accom-
panied with thunder and vivid lightning this place that the Pacific Railroad is ex-
was seen approaching the village from a
south-westerly direction tonorth-east, with
a violent wind, causing some alarm to the
villagers, though not suspecting anything
more than a severe wind, when in a mo
ment, the most awfnl erashwas heard to
pass through the western part of the vil
lage, scattering houses, fences, trees, and
everything that could be moved, in its
path.
Mr. James 0. Ba Iy and his estimable
lady, (daughter of Col. J. W. Pitts, to
whom he .hatj been married some three
months,) were both instantly killed.—
Me*. Bailey was blown owi two hundred
yarcL», greatly mangled—Tound dead.—
Mr. Bailey was blown ab>.ut 75 yards,
found dead, aiso mangled. Nothing is
left of their beautiful residenoe, except
i-ome brick ; not a particle of clothing,
furniture- or anything else remains to tell
that a house ever stood there : the frag
ments of their dwelling are scattered for
miles, some shingles and broken fragments
were found as far as Rutledge, some 6 or
8 miles distant, and some clothing was
found not tar from the same place. The
kitchen, iti which was a negro woman,
and her grand child, was also torn in frag
ments, though the woman aud child esca
ped with only slight injury.
The dwelling of Dr. J. J. Montgomery,
on the adj iuiug lot to Mr. B., was also
torn to pieces; the Dr. his wife, and two
children were ip the house when the Tor
nado came on ; they were all ihrowu some
disrance by the violence of the wind, and
himself aud lady were severely* but it ib
hoped not dangerously wounded; they
are up to this date (Jan. 29.) improving.
The two children escaped with some slight
bruises —now well. A negro woman was
in the kitchen at the time; the kitchen
wa9 blown down, the negro slightly hurt.
The Tornado, was not as violent at the
Dr’s , us at Mr. Bailey’s, but he lost every
thing, except a few articles of clothing
found in the track of the storm.
The residence of the widow Moss was
next struck by the Tornado. Here all
was again one wreck and ruin. Every
thing was tom to pieces. A tree was
blown down on the chimney, around
which the family were sitting. Mrs.
Moss’ grand child was instantly killed,
and a negro man a ho was in the kitchen
was blown yearly one hundred yards, his
clothe* blown off, dead and badly man
gled.
Mrs. Moss’ daughters, the two Mrs.
Jones, were at her house at the time, and
were both badly hurt. A son of Mrs.
Jones was thought to be mortally woun
ded, but hopes are now entertained of his
recovery. The negro woman living at
Mrs. Moss’, was also severely wounded.
Four persans were instantly killed, and
some ten or twelve more or less .wounded.
The Tornado passed on Loth sides of
Rev. J. L. K. Smith’s house, blew down
his cribs, stables, shade trees, fencing,

RED WINE & HENRY,
Letter from Hon. Mr. Lanudon.—
The Mobile Register contains a letter
from Hon. C. C- Langdon, from which we
take the following:
A prominent radical remarked to a
Southern man, a few days since, “If we
could be assured that your Southern mem
bers would not act with the Democratic
party, they would be admitted to-mor
row.” And here is the secret of the
whole matter. It is cot principle, it is
net the constitution, it is not the good of
the country, which they are contracting
for, but it is party, the preservation of
party aseendancy, the perpetuation of
party power. So long as the Southern
States can be kept out oi the Union, just
so long will power be retained in the
hands ot the Republican party, but not
one day longer. Hence the party neces
sity of keeping them out indefinitely ; and
this will be done, it it can be done. As !
remarked in former letters, the President
can defeat their schemes, and I trust he
will, ere long. But should we be disap
pointed in this, we must wait with patience
for the people to speak through the ballot
box.
I am assured that the people of the
North will not sustain the action of this
radical Congress; that when the issue
shall be fairly presented between the pol
icy of the President and that of the radi
cals, the former will be sustained by an
overwhelming majority. Our friends at
the North are anxious that this issue shall
be made, confident that it would result in
tbe utter defeat and final overthrown of
this ntischievious and unprincipled Black
Republican party.
