Gentlemen of the Convention':
We have seen that under the policy of our
fathers, which was adhere 1 to for seventy
? a great and prosperous peo-
ht burdens of taxation, which
were fairly and equally imposed, with freedom
: from official meddling, that made us the envy
and admiration of the world. It is now our
duty to see what have been the results, in
| seven years, of the “policy of hate.” The
j condition and laws of the land call upon us to
! sit in judgment upon our rulers. Sad and
; painful as the duty may be, we must boldly
I probe to the bottom every ulcer and every
I wound noon the body politic. The war is
I ended, hut peace his not returned. We have
1 won the victory, but our Union is not restored,
j Our land is filled with mourning and distress,
i but anger, malice and revenge are not softened.
| The noble strife of arms has ceased, but the
| ignoble struggle for power, plunder and place
! goes on. Congress has done more to destroy
I the Union, to break down the fabric of our
j Government, and to efface the maxims and
; principles of cur people, than was ever aimed
! at by rebellion. Its system of tyranny and
j corruption lias not even the merit of being

body and its own statute laws, show its incon- (
sistent and imbecile policy. There are laws
which tell you that when there was an armed, |
open, and at the time successful rebellion,
these men held that the Southern States were j
not and could not be out ot the Union. They i
foimallv called upon them for their quota to j
put down their own »esistance to law. When I
tlia Southern States bad laid down their arms j
they were tpld that they w ere not States in I
the Union. So the congressional theory is |
that they did not lose liieir State rights by re- j
bellion. but by submission. But these States j
were told if they would abolish slavery they j
would have their place again. Slavery was |
abolished by their action, and they made it i
unconstitutional in any part of the Union.— ;
They were then told they were no States at j
all, but unlawful combinations. So it followed j
that by abolishing slavery they half abolished j
themselves.

f show cannot be collected. It retains it with h
1 perfect knowledge that it merely ministers to
I public and official corruption. The officers

| provisions, taken more from the people than

j In this strength they control the action of the
! Government, and this great stream of corrup

gether by the cohesive power of public plunder.
CONGRESS AND MORALS.
Congress is not only keeping the Govern
ment disorganized and the business of the
country unhinged and perplexed, but it is also
I unsettling the morals of the country. It pro-
I claims to the world the sanctity of bonds, ob-
• ligations and nontracts. and at the same time,
under the influence and by the action of its
party friends, many of the States which make
up the Union have defrauded the public cred-
: itors by forcing them to take depreciated pa
per in return tor the coin or its equivalent,
which was given for their bonds. Going still
' clffuer dishonor by its law. the debtor who
j may have received coin Or Other consideration
! equally valuable, and who has in solemn cove
nant agreed to pay in coin, is allowed ami en-
! couraged to violate his faith and to compel his
creditor to take debased paper. Is it strange
, that in the face of these things our credit is .
ta : nted in the markets of the world, and that
[ our bonds sell for less than those of the Turks?
If the morality of the citizens of the country ;
; is nrid'-rniineii. if the faith of the States raak-
■ ing np the Union is dishonored, where is the
i security of the national credit?- The late
Republican State Convention expressed its
horror of repudiation. Will its members ex- '
plain the villainy which forced the creditors of 1
this great commercial State to take paper at
one time worth fifty cents on the dol ar? This ,
was done in the face of entreaties of a Demo- !
cratic Govmtior not to dishonor New York,
and in opposition to the votes of every Demo- :
cratic Senator. Will these men explain the
indecency of an official in another State who ;
insulted a foreign creditor for asking money as j
good as that he had loaned to the second Stale
in the Union? Yet its Republican legislature
refused to rebuke the indecent action of this
indecent official.

GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
HOUSE.
Atlanta, July 10. 1868.
The House met pursuant to adjournment.—
Prayer by Rev W M Crumley.
The following message was received from
His Excellency, Provisional Governor Bullock,
accompanied by the following communication
■ from the Commanding General of the Third
Military District:
Executive Office Provisional Governor, 1
| State of Georgia. Atlanta, July 9,1868. j
To the Senate and House of Representatives:
A Joint Committee of the General Assembly
have informed me that an organization of the
two Houses had been perfected, by the election
ot officers, the fact was promptly communicated
to the General Commanding the District, ask
ing instructions.
The following communication has this morn
ing been received, to which, with tlie Order
No. 52 referred to, your earefui attention is
invited. iS e Gen. Meade's Utter of July 8th
and General Order No. 52, April Gill, 1868.)
It will be observed that until proper meas
ures have been taken and perfected, to ascer
tain the eligibility of each Senator, member
and officer, no legal act can be done by your
body ; only such as are qualified being legal
Senators, members or officers.
In view of the foregoing, I would respect
fully recommend that a committee be appointed
in each House, for the investigation of the
facts in the case of each Senator, member or
officer. •
Under the act of Congress which became a
law June 25th, 1868, no person is eligible who,
previous to the rebellion, held an office and
took an official oath to support the Constitu
tion of the United States, and afterwards gave j
aid and comfort to the enemies of the United
States, unless such persons shall have been j
rtlievcd of that disability by an act of Con- !
gress, and a careful investigation should be :
made, that the authorities may be satisfied i
that the laws have been complied with.
It will be remembered -hat the question as
to whether the Constitutional Amentment, j
known as article 14, is of force, does not apply. |
because the act of Congress under which you j
have been convened specially fixes the qualifi
cation referred to.
This act of Congress is herewith transmit
ted in General Order No, 84, from the Head
quarters of the armies of the United States,
Rufus B. Bullock,
Provisional Governor.

their present condition, an ignorant and de
graded race. It is the duty of all men to lift
them up as high as we can in intelligence, vir
tue and religion. It is no time to stop and
dispute about ethnological questions. We
must do the best we can wiih them and for
them ; and I have no doubt such will be the
course of the Southern States. Their safety,
happiness and prosperity demand it. When
they were about to enter upon their duty, Con- | £ el do . u, ’, e usury—mt

Letter from Newnan.
Newnan, Ga., July 4, 1868.
Editors - idvrrtu*:r; This favorite resort of the
good people of Montgomery from hot, dusty
thoroughfares is what Josh Billings might call
•‘fairly scrouged.” The medicinal virtues of
the water, impregnated, as it is. with iron,
sulphur, magnesia and alum, offer restored j
health to the afflicted, the unparalleled kind- l
ness and hospitality of the citizens to Mont- '
gonieri ms is proverbial, and the fare is most j
excellent. Good board can be had either at j
Hotel or private residences at from $22,50 to '
$30,00 per month, but every place is fast fill- j
ing up, and parties designing to visit this |
“Saratoga of the South' had better hurry up j
their duds, or, to use a race horse vernacular 1
phrase, they will be “shut out.” Whether it |
is the water or fare, or both combined, which j
causes such rapid improvement in our Mont- |
gotnery visitors your deponent saitli not; but j
from ihe q avntitv of Ji/ ;x sold and cum, dpub- i
licit/ in the streets of Newnan even by ladies
I (to their discredit should we say it?) your cor-
i respondent is forced to the conclusion that it
is the—the—the water. The visitor at New
nan upon arriving feels no restraint, as upon
the arrival of each train from Montgomery
the burly form and jovial face of our friend
Major Calhoun is’almost the first object in
j sight, and who would dare doubt the health
; of Newnan and look at him. There are more
old people in this place than any other in the
| South, 1 venture, in proportion to its size—a
' sure indication that people never die hero ex-
; cept from old age. The great secret of their
i prosperity and consequent good living is shown
; in the careful attention given by everybody to
raising everything they want within thern-
| selves by planting a diversity of crops, espe-
I chilly of small gr.iin. Cotton is, like w ith us I
j of Montgomery, the great crop, but they man-
I age to put in good crops of wheat, clover, oats,
| potatoes, turoi[s, peas, &c., and plant less
i cotton to the hand. * * -x *

its attendant retinue of buck negroes in pink

sweet scented concern yclept league. The
■ weather is very hot, and among that gay and
; festive crowd we see r.o white negroes (much
I to the credit of the negroes.) They are pre-
I paring for a barbecue on the outskirts. The
whites take no interest in the day, as since our
late unpleasantness the “ tnan and brother”
lays sole ciaira to its observance. * * *

A Country Editor in the Circus Business.
When the agent of DeHaven’s circus was on
his way up the river, advertising the approach
of tiie “ big show,” he stopped at Prescott,
Wis., celebrated principally as the “local hab
itation ” of that inimitable wit, Lute Taylor.
After viewing the prospects, concluded it
wouldn't pay the company to give a perfor
mance there, and was about to leave, when he
accidentally ran across friend Luie, who, hear
ing the decision arrived at, took it ns an insult
to his flourishing village, and vehemently pro
tested against any such decision. The circus
mu,!, stop at Prescott. But his eloquence was
of no avail. Determined not to be foiled i n
his attempt, he changed his tactics.
“ How-ow-ow much do-do you ask for your
d-d-damned circus? I-I-I’H buy the wh-whole
concern ”
“ What do you mean?” says tiie agent.
“I-I mean how-ho-ho much will you take
for the re-receipts of the two performances?”
answered Lute.
The agent studied a moment and said:
“Five hundred dollars.”
“I-I-I’ll take it,” said Lute, and the bargain
was completed.
It is hardly necessary to say that Lute from
that moment was loud in his praise of Della-
ven's circus. The country tributary to Pres
cott was flooded with huge posters, and the
people invited to come in. They came, and
the enterprising editor of that valuable family
paper, the Prescott Journal, reaped his reward
by clearing the snug little sum of $300. We
understand that the family journal is for sale,
as Lute thinks the circus business pays better.
As a showist he is a success.—St. Paul Pioneer.

Their action upon tariffs and business inter

and imbecile. It keeps our merchants and
manufacturers in a condition of uncertainty,

perpetual curse. Within the past few years it
has made nearly monthly changes it! the tar

burdens, and hunts down our merchants and
manufacturers with an army of official spies
and informers; and it gives thes* the power to
ruin men of limited means by false charges.—
It puts our government not only in a light that
is hateful, but. what is more dangerous, it
makes it pitiable. If our young o«en wish to
engage in business or to seek homes in the
WesC and they ask from those who have
monev to lend the aid which has heretofore
been given for those purposes, they are told
that the Government, which ought to be pater
nal, will pay a higher interest than the law
win iet the citizens give or than they cun ;
afford to give, and, also, beyond this, wiii ex
empt them from taxation. Congress paralyzes,
in this way, the industry of the land. Which
ever wav you look you see that the party in
power is a blight upon the honor, happiness
and ind-ust-ritl pursuits of our people. Our;
carrying trade upon the ocean is destroyed,
our shipyards are idle, our merchants art its- j

House finally adopted the orignal resolution of
Mr. O Neal without amendment.
The speaker will announce the Committee
to-morrow.
The House adjourned to o'clock a. m. to
morrow.
We are told by a celebrated cayai oS
eer the following anecdote : On one of
his cruises the sailors saw a comet and
were somewhat surprised and alarmed at
its appearance. The bands met, and ap- 1
pointed a committee to wait on the com
mander to a.-k his opinion of it. They
approached him and said : “ We want t->.:
ask your opinion, your honor.” “ Weil, j
my bjvs, what is ic about?” “ We want
to inquire about the thing up there. ’—

know what you think it is.” u \\ ell,

SENATE.
The Senate met pusuant to adjournment—
and was opened with prayer.
There is not as large an attendance this
morning ss yesterday, still the lobby has a
respectable representation.
A message was received from the Governor,
with accompanying documents through Mr R.
B. DeGratfeurid, his Secretary. (See House
proceedings.)
Mr. Harris fRep.) reported a resolution that
the committee appointed on the Governor’s
Message have the power to investigate all mat
ters pertaining to eligibility of Senators, and
to-send for persons and papers—reporting at
an early day.
The committee appointed are Messrs. Harris,
Welch. Higbee, Nesbit. Hicks and Atkins.
Mr. Harris begged that his name as chair
man be substituted by another, which being
granted, tb« Chair appointed Mr. Smith, of

“How do you do, old fellow?”
“Hullo, Tom,” said we, “where have you
been so long ?”
“ Whv. sir, I have been down on Severn
1 river, in Anne Arundel county, taking shang-

“ Ah, indeed,” said we, “are they very bad

“ Rather bad,” said Tom, drily. “ There is

the other day as the hand3 were putting up
bricks preparatory to finishing it, they were
tak.-n with a chill, and shook the whole buiid-

- the bricks were dust of the finest quality.—
Just at this juncture the chills came on with
renewed force, and they commenced shaking
np the dust with such gU3to that they were
entirely obscured for two hours, and the peo-
