Just as wk Expected.—We clip the following : from the telegraphic synopsis of the Congres- ! tsional procceilingfi of Wednesday: House.—The bill admitting several Southern States was taken up. Stevens offered the following amendment:— j " Provided, That the provision of thfc seventh j section of the Constitution of tSe State of I OeorgtA shall not apply to a debt due to any* I person who, during the whole time of' tire ’fit*: rebellion, was loyal to the United'SCates, and opposed to secession." Ufi Thursday it was adopted by a vote of 78 to 60. The Late Georgia Election. The Atlanta Opinion publishes what it calls the official returns from all the counties but two.

His complaint is said to be pleuro pneumonia. He is not ex pected to recover. The communication of “ Old Democrat” is not published because we think its publica tion would not accomplish the object of the writer. The views of our correspondent are clearly correct in their general application, and should he enforced by the party in all fu ture elections. The present is not the time to express them. So we think. Southern Opinion.—We are in receipt of the Daily Southern Opinion, published in Atlanta, On., by an association of practical printers.— The Opinion was originally a Radical paper, but, having changed hands, is now Democratic. We welcome it to our exchange list, and hope it may succeed, as it certainly deserves success. Without design we neglected in a previous is sue to notice this change in ownership and politics of the Opinion. The Legsilature. D is utterly impossible to state with correct ness the exact strength of the Radical and Democratic parties in both branches of the General Assembly, for the reason that the newspaper reports differ in some instances on two points—1st, as to the candidate elected ; 3d, the |>olitiea of a dozen or more members. There is one tiling certain, all members inde pendent and doubtful may be safely counted against the Radicals, for if a member displays the lest hesitation in dclining his position or co-operating with the Radicals, lie is in a hope ful condition, and in all eases, wo believe, will finally refuse to vote and act with the Radical party. . On the whole, we believe the Democrats will have a majority on joint ballot. Impeachment.—Tuesday was the day ap pointed on which the vote of the Senators would be taken on the guilt or innocence of the President. The Court adjourned, however, until Saturday on account of the illness of Senator Howard. A Washington telegram Bays Senators Fessenden, Frelingbuysen, Van Winkle, Grimes and Fowler, Republicans, will certainly vote for acquittal. The others of the thirteen still doubtful. Eighteen votes will acquit. The eleven Democratic and the five above mentioned Republican Senators will vote for acquittal. If the President can secure two of the still doubtful Senatorsdus acquittal is certain. The Radicals, however, claim his rouviction ns certain by means of Wude’s vote. Grant and Hancock. The tide is running resistlessly in favor of Hancock’s nomination by the National Demo cratic and Grant’s by the Radical party, as candidates for President. In fact it is almost certain that they will be the opposing candi dates for the highest office in the gift of the people. Both are soldiers and have won. lau rels on many bloody fields. But for what did they fight? For the Uuion of the States under the Constitution ? Hancock so thought and so says, while Grant favors a different Union —one of vrhieh the Federal soldiers never dreamed. Did they fight for the right of trial by jury and the preservation of the writ of habeas corpus? Hancock so said, and repeated in New Orleans that such were “the birth rights of American citizens;” while Grant ad vises the supplanting of juries by military cornmts^ns, and plants his heel upon that tcrit which our British ancestors forced an unwil ling King to recognize. Did they fight for a government by the people for the people.? Han cock auswers affirmatively, while Grant’s posi tion commits him in favor of a government by a Congress for the Radical party. Did they fight for the Union as it was and the Constitu tion as it? Hancock so says, while Grant says the blood of his soldiers were shed for another Union and an amended Constitution. In brief, did these Generals unsheath their swords, risk their lives, and urge their nation to begin and prosecute the contlict at the cost of countless streams of blood and millions of treasure for the preservation of the government as organ ized by our fathers? Hancock says so, while Graut in effect conteuds that all of this suffer ing was endured and treasures expended for the erection of a different government, half civil and half military, in which the intereets of one section alone were to be consulted.— Upon such opposing platforms will these can didates seek the suffrages of the people. There is no middle ground, and in such a contest voters can find no difficulty in deciding which candidate represents their views. Which of the two will be elected? The proper and correct answer will depend upon the fact whether the American people are sat isfied with the government under which they lived and prospered for eighty years, or desire a change. If a majority still love the Consti tution, and appreciate the blessings of liberty regulated by law, Hancock will be our next President; w.hile, on the contrary, if a major ity prefer a mongrel, undefinable gov ernment, and ; are unworthy of freedom, Grant ■will be inaugurated President iu name, but Dictator in fact, on the 4tli of March, 1S69. We rejoice, however, that we do believe that the blessings of good government are yet suffi- cieujly appreciated to secure Hancock’s trium phant election and inauguration as President. 7th IHstrict 13,154 8,049 9,625 11,274 76,485 83,362 88.343 70,110 RECAPITULATION.

O. O. Howard and Hon. Wra. E. Dodge have recently reported that “having thorough ly investigated the matter, we give it as our deliberate opinion that Gen. Grant does not now drink — that is anything alcoholic.”— Much of ttie truth of such a report depends upon the time of day. It is certainly true “between drinks,” and when the General is as.eep. We once knew a member of the legislature, elected on a distinct pledge that he would not get drunk during the session, and being profoundly drunk during the whole time, defended himself on the ground that he had not “got drunk” since his pledge, but it was the same steady old drunk all the time. Without questioning the personal habits of Gen. Grant, about which we know nothing and have no proper business, it seems strange that any gentleman should propose to entrust the Presidency into the hands of one who they practically admit cannot be entrusted (without anxiety) with the regulation of his own per sonal habits and demeanor. A smelling com mittee inquiring into the personal habits of George Washington, Adams, Madison, Monroe, 0“ any of the line, down to very modern times, would have looked oddly, and we suppose they would have felt oddly.—Macon Telegraph. Reverend Slanderers.—Perhaps the great est liars and most malignant slanderers that the North has spewed out upon the South since the close of the war, arc the reverend blackguards that have been sent an.ong us as ministers of religion. The politicians pale before them in all that constitute bad heartedness and mendacity. A specimen of these cattle represents the negroes and mean whites of Alabama in the Chicago Methodist Conference, now in session. Here is his testi mony, as given in the Christian Ad'ocate of that city: “ We lenrn from Rev. J. W. Tally, represen tative of the Alabama Conference, that the spirit, of persecution is raging to a fearful ex tent against our people in Georgia and Ala bama. Rev. H. Breckemidge, of Griffin, Ga., on Saturday, April 2Gth, was driven away from Griffin, and pursued by over one hundred men. He placed himself under the protection of the military at Atlanta. At Adairsville, Rev. Wes ley Pret.tyman, Presiding Elder of Atlanta District, was driven away from his quarterly meeting by a mob. He escaped just in time to save his life from the hands of lawless men.— A day or two after Bro. Prettyman was driven away from his quarterly meeting, three men visited his residence at Cartersville for the avowed purpose of assassinating him, and in. suited and abused his family. The spirit, of persecution and rebellion is rife in Alabama, and our people in that State are suffering greatly on account of the Methodist Episcopal Church and their loyalty to the Government of the United States.” Now, we venture to say that no honest man in Georgia has ever before heard of these out rages, and it is certain that they could not have occurred without attracting the notice of the military authorities. What will become of such creatures in the great day of reckoning?—Macon Messenger. gff c ’Queen Victoria is said to be violently opposed to the conviction of the President by the Impeachment Court, because she has over thirty tons of silver and gold plate, and if Johnson is dismissed from office Wade intends appointing Ben Butier Minister to the Court of St. James. gW°Surratt’s trial has been postponed until the next term of the Court. Chief Justice Carter has refused the prisouer bail. So says a Washington telegram. gfjTTorney publishes in his “ two papers, both daily,” that some persons in Georgia have attempted to assassinate Foster Blodgett.— This villainous lie is circulated for the purpose of inflaming the Northern mind and bringing Blodgett into notice. There is some reason for the first object, but in all good conscience Blodgett is notorious enough, in fact so noto rious that he ought, if he had any sense of shame, to seek some secluded spot and engage in prayer that his name might not be mem- tioned by man again. Assassinate Blodgett for what ? He is in dicted for perjury it is true, and seeks by all the means in his power to oppress the noble, true and worthy citizens of Augusta, yet no sane man would harm a hair upon his head ; for those who desire his punishment must know that liis very existence is an agony which no good man could endure. Some enemy of Satan will do tire deed, if it is ever done ; for if Blodgett were to seek ad mission into the domain of his Satanic Majesty, the Chief would be trumped one time. What to do with Blodgett would be difficult of solu tion. However, the old fellow, for fear of dis placement. would be forced to exclude him, but assign him, as he has already done Thad. Stevens, iu expectation of bis early demise, a few bushels of brimstone and a dozen boxes of matches with which to start a little hell of his own. |g“Young, Christy and Tift are the three Democrats elected to Congress. t^UThe Radicals have carried Florida. flSPPrussia and France are arpning, and ru mors, of an. early conflict are rife. CTThe Sultan in Ids address to the new uncil said, the time has come when Turkish manners must yield to European civilization- Ralph Waldo Emerson's eyes have been open ed. He judges Radicalism by its f'uits, and says: “ The spirit of our American Radicalism is destructive and aimless—it is not loving, it has no ultimate ends, it is destructive, only out of hatred and selfishness." During the late war coffee, sugar and flour were things of the past in Southern Texas. A soldier staid all night at a house on the Nueces, and finding a large hard biscuit in his haver sack, he gave it to a little four year old boy playing, before the door. Half an hour after i wards be saw. the boy with the biscuit on tfle j ground and a coal of fire upon it. “ What, are you doip& that for, sonny’" he ! inquired. * “Trying to make the plaguy thing poke its , head out."—Southern Home Journal.. The Washington correspondent of the i Cincinnati Commercial furnishes the fol- 1 lowing graphic description of the scene which occurred in the Senate at the con clusion of Mr. Bingham's speech on the 6th inst., in the closing sentences of which “ he used such warmth of language and manner as to create great sensation in the Senate chamber, and more than ever to tempt demonstrations of applause After Mr. Bingham took his seat, Sen ator Wilson rose to submit a motion that the Senate retire for consultation. He had scarcely time to address the Chair when, t<» the right of the Chair, in the gentlemen’s gall cry a few spectators com menced to stamp their feet and clap their ! hands in approval of Mr. Bingham’s! speech. It was promptly suppressed by i the Chief Justice, but very quickly spread tlirough the entire galleries, increasing in j violence as it went around, until it amount- j ed to a disorderly uproar. Even the la- j dies were quick to catch the contagion, i and gave vent to their enthusiasm as earnestly as those of the other sex. The Chief Justice rapped when it was too late. IJe might as well have tried to extinguish a prairie fire with a syringe; when he rose from his seat and cried “or der !” with all the voice he could put in to the word, he was only laughed at; and lor spite hundreds who had remained si lent till then joined in the demonstration, and made the Senate Chambers a bedlam. Some stood up while they clapped their hands, and others kept their seats that they might be enabled to use both hands and feet in the uproar. While the noise was at its loudest, the Chief Justice, in an angry tone, ordered the Sergeant-at-Arms to clear the naile ries, but it was manifest that without the consent of the offenders, the order could not be executed. A few cried out, “ He can’t do it, he hasn’t men enough ; we won’t go outand there were indications for a time that they meant what they said, and were determined not to be put out. The door keepers attempted to enforce the order by announcing it, but they found the crowd very slow to move. The Sena tors began to get alarmed, for really the scene began to smack of the French re volution, when the crowd used to over awe the National Assembly. Mr. Grimes angrily asked, afteY sur veying the scene, why the order was not enforced forthwith, to which the Chief Justice, who seemed to be getting quite nervous, replied that it certainly would be enforced. A volley of hisses for Grimes came next, and that, too, from the most respectable part of the galleries.— Many a finely dressed lady contributed to them. An attempt was made to get up a more violent insult in the way of a loud “ bah,” and some hootings were heard such as the rabble sotnetimes deal out to stump speakers they dou’t like. Mr. Trumbull quickly came to the re lief of Mr. Grimes, with a motion that the offenders be arrested, as well as the galleries cleared. “ I would like to see you do it!” shout ed several of the retiring offenders in re- The galleries were by this time about half cleared, but not because of the order of the Chief Justice. It got out that the court was about to retire, or adjourn, and those who had left had done so under this impression. Suddenly a few men cried out: “Hold on! They ain’t go ing to adjourn ! Let us see this thing out!” Then came a halt, and hundreds took their seats again, with the utmost unconcern, and totally indifferent to the order for their ejection. Mr. Cameron, amid the din and con fusion, rose to hope that the galleries would not be cleared. He did not be lieve it fair to punish all for the offences of some, and hoped none but those who had made the demonstration would be put out. Messrs. Fessenden and Johnson sharp ly called Mr. Cameron to order, and insist ed that the clearance be proceeded with ; at which there was another volley of hisses and a few more hootings, and the scene looked more revolunary than ever. Meantime, in the corridors, a few hun dred of the ejected had formed into a crowd, and commenced singing “ Old Grimes is Dead, that Poor old Man.” They were joined by the ladies with great glee. Between the verses the Iowa Senator was liberally and maliciously cursed and damned as a traitor and a Cop perhead. One man attempted to make a speech against Grimes and the other rene gades, but the tumult was too much in terested in the song, which was thought to be peculiarly appropriate aud piquant.— “ Wiil the ladies help us to sing?” said one. “ Certainly they will,” said another, and so they did. While this extraordinary scene was taking place in the corridors, and within the hearing of the high court ofimpeaeh- j ment, Senators were wondering what still j kept the galleries at least half full. Mr. j Sherman attempted to solve the mystery ! by suggesting to the Chief Justice that j perhaps those who remained in the galle i ries did not understand the nature of the j order. The Chief Justice repeated the j order for their benefit, and again instruct- ■ ed the Sergeant-at-Arms to euforce it, which he, with the aid of the capital em ployes he could find, proceeded at once to do The reporters were the last to obey.— They insisted that they had committed no offence, and ought not to be interfer ed with. A few of them shouted to Sen atorial friends to know if they, too, must go. They received, in reply, a laugh, which they construed affirmatively, $nd which they responded to with a loud groan, and a muttering comment that this was a “ of a way.” The Trib une correspondent protested that the loyal press ought to pitch into Grimes. The Times man swore like a trooper, while about twenty, who had smuggled them selves into the gallery with the Herald Terrible Earthquake. GREAT LOSS OF LIFE AND PROPERTY. San Francisco, May 9.—Various ter rible phenomenas occurred at Maunaloa, Sandwich Island between the 28th of March and the 15th April. Two hundred earth quake shocks occurred. The shock on sence of the high court, but just then a j April 2d lasted three minutes. No one deputy Sergean-at-Arms caught him by could stand. The churches and houses the coat collar and lifted him into an ad- in Hawaiis, nearly all fell. The joining room.

It took nearly half an hour to dear the galleries. The scenes attendant upon the process have been only faintly de scribed above. The pictnre could scarce ly be overdrawn, for nothing like it for indecency has ever been witnessed before. Some seven years ago, when Senator An drew Johnson made a Uuion speech in reply to Mr. Lane of Oregon, and the galleries deliberately rose and gave nine cheers for the Union and the flag, \ ice- President Breckinridge caused them to be cleared. There was no disorder at tending the execution of that order, and since then, until to-day, no such order has been executed. An Important Military Order. IIdq’rs 3d Mil.

On Wednesday last a shooting affray came very near proving fatal to two citi zens of Dalton, Col. Tibbs and Mr. J. E. Christian. The shooting was done by a grocery keeper from Cleveland, Tennes see, by the name of J. B. Scott. The difficulty had its origin during the war. When the Federal army took possession of Cleveland, John Tibbs, a son of Col. Tibbs, aud at that time thirteen or four teen years old, was arrested, and this man Scott, a citizen of Cleveland, volunteered to guard him. The young man, Tibbs, claimed that Scott performed the duty in a way that he has not been able to forget it, nor forgive him. This old difficulty was referred to by young Tibbs on meeting Scott, which re sulted in the shooting. Col. Tibbs, in an effort to keep down the difficulty, was un fortunately involved in the quarrel, and shot through the leg just above theaukie. Mr. Christian who was at the time near by, and having nothing to ao with the difficulty, was hit over the right eye, the ! bail passing through the eyebrows and : flattening against the thick frontal bone j which forms the upper wall of the eye. j Both gentlemen are in a fair way to re cover.

On the morning after the vote had been counted, the Ordinary elect—-who can neither read nor write—stepped into the office and thus addressed his defeated opponent: “ Mars Frank, you keeps a mighty nice office. Everything looks nice.

A physician in Chicago was called a few days ago to testify as a medical expert in the United States Court in that city.

A young Indian girl who had curiously watch ed the process of making barrel heads in a flouring mill in Winona, Minnesota, stole in one day, and taking possession of the stencils ornamented her blanket with the words “Ells worth’s Choice,” and paraded the streets in great delight, but to the disgust of Mr. Ells worth, who is a bachelor and had made no such choice.

Hear what the Doctor says of BULL'S WORM DESTROYER: Villaxow, Walker County, Ga., | June 29, 1866. j Dr. John Bull— Dpar Sir: I have recently given your “Worm Destroyer" several trials, and find it wonderfully efficacious. It has not failed in a single instance to have the wi.shed- for effect. 1 am doing a pretty large country practice, and have.daily use for some article of the kind. I am free to confess that I know of no remedy recommended by the ablest authors that is so certain and speedy in its effects. On the contrary they are uncertain in the extreme. My object in writing to you is to find out upon, what terms I can get the medicine directly from you. If I can get it upon easy terms, I shall use a great deal of it. I am aware tiiat the use of such articles is contrary to the teach ings and practice of a great majority of the regular line of M. D.’s, but I see no just cause or good sense in discarding a remedy which wo know to be efficient, simply because we may be ignorant of its combination. For my part, I shall make it a rule to use all and any means to alleviate suffering humanity which I may be able to command—not hesitating because some one more ingenious than myself may have learned its effects first, and secured the solo right to use that knowledge. However, I am by no means an advocate and supporter of the thousands of worthless nostrums that flood the country, that purport to cure all manner of disease to which flu map flesh is heir. Please reply soon, and inform me of your best terms. I am. Sir, most respectfully, Julius P. Clement, M. I). BULL’niRSIPMILU. A Good Reason for the Captain’s Faith, READ THE CAPTAIN’S LETTER AND THE LETTER FROM HIS MOTHER. Benton Barracks, Mo., April 30, 1866. Dr. John Bull—Dear Sir: Knowing the effi ciency of your Sarsaparilla, and the healing and beneficial qualities it possesses, I send you the following statement of rny case. I was wounded about two years ago—was taken prisoner and confined for sixteen months. Being moved so often, my wounds have not healed yet. I have not sat up a moment since I was wounded. I am shot through the hips, My general health is impaired, and I need something to assist nature. 1 have more faith in your Sarsaparilla than in anything else, i wish that that is genuine. Please express uie half a dozen bottles, and oblige Cai j t- C. P. Johnson, St. Louis, Mo. P. S.—The following was writted April 30, 1866, by Mrs. Jennie Johnson, mother of Capo. Johnson. Dr. Bull—Dear Sir: My husband, Dr. C. S. Johnson was a skillful surgeon and physician in Central New York, where he died, leaving the above C. P. Johnson to my care. At thir teen years of age he had a chronic diarrhea and scrofula, for which I gave him your Sarsa parilla. It cured him. I have for ten years recommended it to many in New York, Ohio and Iowa, for scrofula, fever sores, and general debility. Perfect success has attended it. Tht cures effected in some cases of scrofula and fever sores were almost miraculous. I am very anxious for my son to again haye recourse to your Sarsapa rilla. He is fearful of getting a spurious arti cle, hence his writing to you for it. His wounds wei e terrible, but I believe he will re cover. Respectfully, Jennie Johnson.
