According to the Governor’s Proclamation convening the Legislature, the members of both Houses assembled in the Senate Chamber (west wing of the capitol, late City Hall, At lanta,) at 12 o’clock M., on the 4th day of July, 1868. The Hall being rather small for such an occasion, was crowded to overflowing by the mas? of persons collected there—some for legitimate purposes—some for—well we won’t say what. Besides the members proper, there were any amount of eager office-seekers, as well a3 others whose chief motive no doubt was to satisfy a very excusable curiosity. If the crowd inside was large, that outside was still more so. The black element wns here predominant. A guard stationed at the en trance below prevented the ingress of the masses. By special permit of Governor Bul lock (for which he will please accept our thanks) we were permitted to enter the arcana. The regulations for the admission of persons were well conceived and as well carried out. We noticed within the Hall a wholesome sprinkling of the military. All things consid ered, the aggregate membership of the Geor gia Legislature presents a fairer appearance than can be found at present in any other State lately in rebellion. The people have done as well as could be expected under the circumstances, and we hope to be excused for expressing the opinion that the thing is, after all, not nearly *n bad as it might have been. At 12 o’clock, 0^)v. Bullock, with Genera! Meade, Judge Erskinc, J. R. Parrott, entered the Senate Chamber, and tnouuted the rostrum, I mation enthusiastically. The rules of the Gen.

It is elegantly festooned with large American flays, and decorated with elaborately jiaiuted escutch eons of all the States. Accommodaiions for delegates are ample, and those for the press are excellent, except that the managers persistently refuse admission to’the accredited messengers to receive reports. The Convention w;is called to order at twelve minutes past 12 o’clock by Auguste Belmout, Chairman of the National Democratic Com mittee. SECOND DISPATCH.

Of course their hearts are tender and they regret whatever of wrong they have com mitted, and desire to remain in power for the good of tite country, (this must be so, for they say so, and when did this party ever tell anything but the truth ?) and the leaders would cheerfully retire from the bustle, care, confusion and dis traction of public life, were such a course con sistent with the public good—for does not Grant say “ let us have peace ”? Reader, dt> you not feel like silencing the laboring men when you hear them complain of the partiality of the government in paying them greenbacks and taxing their little, while that same government pays the bondholder in gold and demands of him no taxes ? To talk of these things will produce commotion, and this is all improper, for does not Grant say “ let us have peace ’ ’? Well we believe that, in spite of all these appeals from the great Hiram Simpson Grant, the people won’t keep the peace, but will talk and \ote, if byso doing Grant’s peace is broken. If such is the case we are resigned. Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Convention. Illinois McC iernand, of aSSSSjgjBjf vas nominated President of the CkiuveS ’ Judge Erskine and Col. Parrott on the right of the Governor. Gov. Bul.ock then rose ami announced that Mr. Taylor would read the acts and orders under which the Legislature was now assembled. The act was then read, fol lowed by the proclamation of Gov. Bullock.— General Orders No. G8, Headquarters Third Military District, came next, followed by Gen eral Orders No. 90, announcing the names of persons elected to the Legislature. The first name called was A. A. Badley, who answered present.” Senators absent four. The Clerk then read the oath required by the State Constitution. Senator Ilolcomhe inquired whether, at this stage of the proceedings, those persons whose seats were contested, and especially those whose scats were contested on account of in eligibility-, would-be allowed to qualify? The Governor replied that all those whose names are embraced in General Orders No. 90 would be allowed to qualify. .Judge Erskine lose and announced that by request of his Excellency, the Governor elect, he would now administer the oath as required by the Constitution. Senators, as their names were called, approached the Clerk's desk by threes and took the oath. The Governor announced that, for the pur pose of effecting a speedy organization,Senators would now go into an election for President of the Senate, which was accordingly done, and resulted as follows: Benjamin Conley 23, C. B. Wooten 15, C. R. Moore 1, John Harris 1. Mr. Conley, Augusta, (Rad.) having received a majority of all the votes cast, was therefore announced by the Governor as duly elected President of the Senate. Au election for Secretary of the Senate was then held, with the following result: E. A. Marshall 25, L. N. Trammell 15. Mr. Marshall (Rad.) having received a ma jority of the votes cast, was therefore declared by the Governor as duly elected Secretary of the Senate. The Governor appointed Senators Harris, Wooten and Moore a committee to escort the President elect to the chair. Mr. Conley, on assuming the Chair, expressed his thanks for the honor conferred upon him in a neat and appropriate address, at the con clusion of which he was applauded. In pursuance ot a previous annou-ncement by the Governor, that the House would pro ceed to their Hall on the other side of the Capitol and organize in the same manner as the Senate had done, the President informed members of the House of Representatives that an opportunity would now be allowed them to retire. Senate then took a recess of half an hour, during which the members proceeded to the House of Representatives to witness the organ ization of the Lower House. At the end of the recess the Senate was called to order by* the President, when Mr. Nunnally made a motion to adjourn until 10 o’clock Monday morning next. Mr. rose to debate the question. Mr. Chandler said a motion to adjourn was not debateable. Mr. Speer hoped that’ no Republican Senator present would vote for the motion. A division was called for, when the vote stood yeas 19, nays 13. So the Senate adjourned until Monday 10 o’clock a. m. In justice to Mr. Trammell we will state that he announced that he was not a candidate for the position of Secretary of the Senate. HOUSE. Tn the House the programme was gone thro’ with as in the Senate. After the reading of the Act and General Orders under which the General Assembly had been summoned to meet, the roll of members was called, when 152 Representatives answer ed to their names. Absent 22. Gov. Bullock then requested members elect to present, themselves in front of the Speaker’s desk in squads of ten for the purpose of ta king the oath prescribed by the Constitution of Georgia. The oath was administered by His Honor John Erskine, of the U. S. District Court foi Georgia, that judicial officer being clothed in his robe of office. The Governor then directed an election for officers to proceed. Capt. Duulap Scott ob jected, andflppealed to the House. Gov. Bul lock said that there was no appeal except to the military. Capt. Scott replied, “ 1 appeal, then, to the military.” After a short confer ence with Gen. Meade, Bullock ordered the election to proceed. Whereupon an election for Speaker of the House was gone into, which resulted as fol lows : W. P. Price, of Lumpkin, (dem.) 74. R. L. McWhorter, of Green, (rad.J 76. Holden 1. The Governor then announced Mr. McWhor ter as duly elected Speaker of the House of Representatives, and appointed a committee of two, Messrs. Price and Holden, to conduct him to the Chair. Mr. said. Mr. Chairman, when Mr. Price voted for McWhorter, it was done with the impression that McWhorter would vote for Price, and Mr. Price claims to change his vote. The Governor said that he had no objection to one vote being added to Price—which was done. The Governor then said that he had already declared McWhorter elected, and that any mo tion in future must be made to him. MoW hor- ter assumed the Chair and. briefly addressed the House, referring to the reconstruction measures and the pleasure he felt in seeing his native t?tate again resto’ed to her place in the Union. It should be his purpose to discharge faithfully the duties pertaining to his office. The Speaker then announced the next busi ness in order to the election of a Clerk, and that members as their names were called would vote for the man of their choice. Upon the Clerk’s attempting to call the roll, a band of music on the outside created such confusion as made it necessary to adjourn until Monday morning at 10 o'clock. On Monday, the Senate elected Thom, Dem ocrat, Doorkeeper, and Cameron, Democrat, Messenger, passed a resolution to procure the services of a Chaplain and adjourned. On the same day the House met and pro ceeded to the election of a Clerk—Messrs. M ■ A-. Hardin, Democrat, of Bartow, and Sam. C. Territories were excluded from a voice in the Convention Committees on credentials, reso lutions, and a permanent organization were appointed ; when, after reading the Declaration of Independence, the Convention adjourned to Monday. New York, July 6.—The police arrange ments are inadequate this morning to keep back the surging crowd which blocks the shed. The delegates experienced some difficulty in entering. At half past ten the delegates were gener ally in their seats. The Convention was called to order at a quarter past eleven. Prayer was offered by Rev. Win. Quinn. The readiug of the journal of Saturday was dispensed with. The delegation from the Working Men’s Con vention was invited to seats. The Committee on Permanent Organization reported for 1'resident Horatio Seymour, of N. York. [Great cheering.] One Vice President and one Secretary from each State was recommended The rules adopted by the Democratic Con vention of 1864 were recommended for the government of the Convention. The repoit was adopted and the committee discharged. • The Committee on Resolutions asked leave to sit during the session of the Convention, which was granted. The Chairman appointed Messrs. Bigle, of Pennsylvania, and Hammond, of South Caro lina, a committee to conduct the President to the Chair. Seymour proceeded to the platform amid great cheering, long continued. He returned thanks for the honor conferred upon him, and counselled moderation, tolera tion and harmony. He. said most important questions were forced upon the consideration of this Convention—some of them were forced by the resolution of the late Chicago Conven tion. He discussed briefly the Republican platform ; accused the paity of violating its own declarations against repudiation and unequal taxation, and the asserted solicitude for sol diers and soldier’s widows and orphans; ac cused the now dominant party of extravagant wasting of the public moneys, tainting the national credit, expediting immigration by over-burdeuiug labor with taxation, and break ing down all constitutional guarantees of re publican liberty. He denies the assertion of the Republican Convention that the principles of the Declaration of Independence are now sacred on every inch of American soil, for in ten States of the Uniuu military power sup presses civil law. A large number of resolutions were offered anti referred. Resolutions endorsing Johnson and applaud ing Chase, on impeachment, created applause. Resolutions urging universal amnesty t with out any exception, unanimously adopted. Adjourned to four o’clock. Massachusetts aud Rhode Island will vote for Chase on the first ballot. Rentlleton's friends claim 180 votes on the first, ballot. It is generally believed it will re quire twenty or thirty. Chase’s letter is published alluding to suf frage and other domestic affairs. He expresses himself in favor of according suffrage v.o all citizens, and says: As regards this question, I adhere to my old State lights doctrine ; and in the event of my nomination and success, I trust that I should so act that neither the great party which makes the nation, nor the great body of patriotic citizens whose co-operation would insure success, would have cause to re gret their action. It is an iutense desire with me to see the Democratic party meeting the question of the day in the spirit of the day, and assuming to itself a long duration of as cendancy It can do so if it will. The Convention assembled. The Soldiers' and Sailors’ Convention presented an address, expressing no preference for candidates, but. breathing harmony and confidence in the re sult. The effort to overthow the two-thirds rule failed. The Convention adjourned at. six o’clock without a ballot or platform. eighth ballot,* Louisiana voted for Pen dieton, New York for Hancock amid the wildest excitement and cheers and hisses ResultPendleton 156$, Hendricks 77- On ihe ninth ballot Pendleton 144, Hendricks 80$, Hancock 34$—balance wildly scattered.

Hancock’s friends were confident of a favorable result on the 18th ballot., but the event discouraged them very much, and they reluctantly yielded to adjourn ment. Coalition between Hendricks and Pen dleton is hopeless, and it is apprehended that Hancock has achieved his vote. highest From the Macon Telegraph. Nut Grass. The Floridian of the 30th ult. says that this terrible pest is spreading over that country, aud that a week or two ago his gardener, in digging Irish potatoes, found a potato which had been perforated com pletely by a spear of this grass. We have seen it perforate chips, which had been only very slightly decomposed. The edi tor speculates about a remedy ; and there is none that we know of except very care fully d igging up the grass and destroying it. This we have done with great labor and complete success. The nut grass is abundant in Yineviile, and will be a great trouble to household ers unless they attack it with vigor. We have noticed two species of it on our homestead. In one of these the root shoots down perpendicularly to the depth of four to six inches—then forms a nut, from which another root shoots off lateral ly three or four inches and then forms another nut, and so on, each root, as it matures, throwing up the blades of the grass. In this species the root or fibrous connection is comparatively large and strong, and, occupying no great depth of soil, the grass can be exterminated with comparative ease. In this species the nut is very bitter. The second kind produces a nut sweet and agreeable to the taste, and it is found at depths in the soil varying from four to fourteen inches* The fibre which con nects this nut with the blade is very small, delicate and easily broken. As this nut matures, it shoots out more fibres obliquely which reach the surface and develops, in grass—which in its turn sends down a perpendicular shoot upon the end of which another nut soon forms, to repeat the process. It wili be exceedingly difficult to ex terminate this grass where once it has got possesion of a piece of land. It can only be done by carefully trenching the soil to the depth of the lowest nuts laying bare all the fibrous roots in succession with'their termini, and carefully collect ing them with the hand. The process must be repeated once or twice at a month’s interval during the summer, and subsequently the scattered stalks can be attacked with a spade or grubbing hoe. IfaUowed to grow two or three Sum mers in succession the land is not only valueless for cultivation, but it is a pest from which this grass will be propagated through the deposits of animals feeding upon it ail around the vicinage Xhe grass eradicated should be carefully burn As well scatter small-pox, as throw this grass around with the idea that cat New York, June 7.—Peter dagger and John T. Devlin, were thrown from their carriage. Cagger killed; Devlin seriously hurt. dagger’s death was announced. Resolutions from Alexander H. Ste phens were read and referred. The name of Stephens was cheered, Tne Platform unanimously adopted amid immense cheering; slavery and se cession are regarded as dead issues ; bonds ‘payable in lawful money, unless the face calls frr coin ; equal taxation on all pro perty, including coin ; one currency for all; economy, reduction of the army and uavy, abolition of the Freedmen’s Bureau and inquisitorial modes of collecting rev- J ed enue; tariff fur revenue; subordination of the military to the civil authorities; _ _ restoration of all the States; amnesty for isun.

Naughty, Naughty Man.—Among Leou Gazlau’s posthumous papers was found au essay on the characteristics ot women, which will not add to his popu iarity among American ladies. Just read this outrageous paragraph : A French woman wili love her husband if he is either witty or chivalrous; a Qerrnan wo man, if he is constant and faithful; a Dutch woman, if be does not disturb her ease and comfort too much ; a Spanish woman, if he wreaks terrible vengeance on those who are under her displeasure ; an Italiaiu woman, if he is dreamy and poetical; a Danish woman, if he thiuks that her native country is the brightest, and the best, and happiest country on the earth ; a Russian woman, if he des pises all Westerners as miserable bar barians; an English woman, if he suc ceeds in ingratiating himself with the royal court and the aristocracy; an Ameri can woman, it—he has plenty of money.” *►* *•* The Conservative Soldiers’ Convention.— Scarcely less important than tlie National Con vention is the Convention of Conservative Sol diers. which is to be held on the same day.— This Convention will hold the balance of pow er, aud being composed of straightforward soldiers, will do as little unnecessary talking as possible. Those already here are outright for old Greenbacks, and say, when they nomi nate a ticket, they are going to stand by it through thick and thin. They are disposed to co-operate, but will not be dictated to. They have secured the Moflatt House, the old Fenian headquarters, and the Cooper Institute, and, what is better, they have paid for them for the entire mouth of July. There will he over 6,000 soldiers present on the occasion, and after forming a procession, they will march in full uniform to the Cooper Institute to “ name their man.” Among the prominent persons who will participate: Major Generals William B. Franklin, of Connecticut; Gerham Mott, New Jersey ; private O lleilley, American ; D. C. Buell, Kentucky ; Lovell H. Rousseau, Ken tucky ; Thomas Ewing. Ohio; W. II. H. Davis, Pennsylvania; Henry W. Slocum, New York ; Andrew Porter, Pennsylvania; Kirby Smith, George P. Estes, Uen. Duryea, N. York ; Wil liam B. Steadman, W. F. Smith and many otners. Mr. Belmont, Chairman of the Democratic National Executive Committee of Tammany Hall, has informed Mayor Hoffman that the Committee will not meet until two days before the meeting of the Convention, when arrange ments will be made for the distribution of tickets of admission to the Convention, at which time due notice will be given as to the mode in which those tickets will be distributed. The duties of a policeman in Memphis have become as dangerous as the deadly field of battle. Within the last four months six officers have been killed while in the discharge of their duty, and six more severely wounded, in all about twelve per cent of the average police force who have suffered death or maiming at the hands of actual or would be assas sins. The total Catholic population of the United States is estimated at 5,000,000. The Regular Baptists are put down in I860 at 1,094,800.

An old minister asked a woman what could be done to induce her husband to attend church. “ I don’t know,” she replied, “ unless you were to put a pipe and a jug of whisky in the pew.” The Board of Trustees of St. John’s College at Annapolis, Md., conferred, on Tuesday last, the honorary degree of L L. D. on Hon. Reverdy Johnson. Mr. Johnson is an alumnus of that institution, and he is the fifth person who has re ceived this dignity from the Board since the foundation of the college, in the year 1784. A Washington dispatch says: Secretary Sew ard has nearly completed negotiations for the purchase of Greenland and Ictland from the Danish Government. It is said he is to give five and a half millions in gold for them, and that he has already promises of sufficient sup port in the Senate to secure the ratification of the measure, Mr. Seward now having printed, at the Government Printing Office, a volumi nous account of those countries, their popula tion. great resources, climate and history, which he will send, into the Senate with a copy of his new treaty. The Radicals in the Rump Senate had a good deal to sav about the rights of American c-iti having. “Oh ! now,’’ said he. “how much a yard did you give for that?” taking up the several pieces ot goods. She told him the price, without, however, saying where she had got them. “Oh! now,” he said again, “I could have sold you those goods for so much a yard,” mentioning a price a great deal lower than she paid. •‘You know,” said he, “I can undersell eve rybody iu the phree.” And so be went on criticising and undervaluing the goods, till the boat reached Bristol, wheu he was invited to go to the old lady’s store, and when there the goods were spread out on the counter, and Jacob was asked to examine the goods again, and say in the presence of witnesses the price he would have sold them for per yard, the old lady, meanwhile, taking a memorandum. She then went to the desk and made out a bill of the difference between what she had paid and the price he had told her; then, coming up to him, she said: “Now, Jacob, thee is sure thee could have sold these goods at the price thee mentioned?” “Ob! now, yes,” said he. “ Well, then, th v young man must, have made a mistake, for I bought the goods at tbv store; and of course, under the circumstances, thee can have no objection to refund me the differ ence.” Jacob, being thus cornered, could, of course, have no objection to refund the difference. It is to be presumed that thereafter Jacob’s first inquiry must have been: “Oh! now, where did you get such and such goods?” instead of, “Oh! now, how much did you pay?” LOST CO A’ STRAYED from the Rnhsajl >er [on the morning ot the G,] cr brindle, white faced, no ' lst ’ : medium size, marked with a crop off under bit COW; medinm size, marked v-* 1 10rnc d both ears, a hole in one ear and t the other.

We learn from a Tennessee paper that six boys—three white Things I Like to See. I like to see whole neighborhoods get into a quarrel about nothing, it shows there are independent spirits in the world. I like to hear the character of my friend slandered; it gives me a chance to de fend him. 1 like to hear long prayers on Suudays, I can sleep better during the remainder of the exercise. I like to be praised to my face; it makes me think I am no fool. 1 like to hear religious denominations slander each other ; it is conclusive that their cause is good, and that they are tak- iug the best possible means to advance it. I like to see fifteen or twenty young men parade themselves in front of meet ing-houses on the Sabbath, and stare at the ladies as they pass; it shows they have read Chesterfield’s advice to his son. I like to see young ladies laugh and play at religious meetings ; it shows they possess fine feelings, and take an interest in serious matters. I like to be surrounded by a lot of idlers when I ain in a hurry; it teaches me to be patient. I like to have a person ask me the news, and before I have time to answer, tell it himself; it shows he knows more than I do myself. I like to see church members aroused from slumber to partake of the sacrament; it 9hows the spirit is willing, but the body is weak I like to see people haunt the taverns on the Sabbath, talking politics and scandal, it shows that the day is regard ed. I like to hear the bell toll half the time ; it tells strangers that we have one. I like to see people ride for pleasure, go to fishing or hunting on Sunday; the better tlie day the better the deed. 1 like to see young ladies walk out late at night; it shows that they are not all afraid. I like to have a man take a book or paper out of my hands without asking me ; it shows me he knows manners. I like to have a man prying into my business ; it shows he has an enquiring mind. I like to see a man in company engross the whole conversation, it shows he thiuks himself a very smact fellow. I like to see young ladies assemble at a window or door to make witty remarks upon people as they pass; it shows they want to talk of something they can’t think of. I like to see a young man have an ex alted opinion of himself; he is sure there is oDe that thinks well of him. I like to see young ladies slander each other, it is a sign their characters stand fair. I like to see one praise himself; it saves one the trouble of doing it for him. “Job printing!” exclaimed an old woman the other day as she peeped over her specta cles at the adverti.-ing page of a country paper. “ Poor Job ! they’ve kept him printing, week after week, ever since I first learnt to read; and if be wasn’t the most patientest man that ever was, he never could huve stood it so long, nohow,” Anatomist, say that man changes every seven years. “ Therefore,” says the in imitable Jones, “ my tailor should not re mind me of the bill contracted in 1854— I ain’t the man !” A cautious old bachelor, who knows that the present is leap year, says : “If you meet a young lady who is not very shy, you had better be a little shy your self.” In New York, on Friday morning, two- sons of Dr. R. Ogden Doremus, the cele brated chemist, were playing in a wooden play-house, when it was accidentally set on fire, and the youngest of the two perished in the flames. A hard-pushed Radical falls back upon the encouraging fact that his party carried New Hampshire at the last election. Prentice says that is much line the man running away with his own wife. But tne signs are that the wife in this case will get a divorce before November. “ White men must stand back.” That was an inscription upon a banner borne by Forney’s negro mob on the night of the Washington electron.
