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 j well defined, intelligent, nor consistent. It j has been bewildered for want of intelligence; ! WHOLESALE and RETAIL TRADE. I inconsistent and inconstant for want of prin- | ciples ; cruel from cowardice, and brutal .ro- its instincts. These are not cb only by political opponents—they a a by its supporters, many of whom i 10 stop in iis mad career. The reeords'Ot this ; 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. or run u & OF Candies, Pickles, Nuts, Raisins, Mackerel, Crackers, Sugars, Coffee, W X 1ST IE s _ Of the latter article we have the finest and best Madeira, Sherry, Port, Sweet Malaga and Claret, which we will sell by the gallon or bottle for medicin al, party or Church purposes.

The officers ’ of the law and the violators have, under its | provisions, taken more from the people than j the interest of the public debt np to this time, j In this strength they control the action of the ! Government, and this great stream of corrup tion is now the life-blood of a party held to 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. JAS. E. JONES. R. S. BURCH. JONES & BURCH, GROCERS and PRODUCE NJ ercliants.

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. FINANCES. I Questions of finances, of debt and taxation, j have harrassed all nations and perplexed states- | men in ail periods. We have got to meet I them surrounded with new difficulties and j dangers. We do not yet know the full sum cf i tiie liquidated and unliquidated claims.

Then it was held that their soi iety was re duced to a chaotic stale, and Congress would at once send down a military free, popular and representative governments at the point of the bayonet. It would seem that It is of the groes; that they are in form, color and char acter unlike the whites, and that they are, in 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.

In reply, I beg leave to state that I have no instructions to give you further than to make known that, in my judgment, neither House is organized legally until they have complied with the requisitions of the Reconstruction acts, and the act which became a law June 25th, 1808, all of which prohibited any one as if bent on making ruin certain, they built , . , up a banking system which was to have a | holding an office under the State, who is ex monopoly of putting out currency, and was to J eluded by Section 3 of the amendment to the erest from Government j Constitution, known as Article 14. interest from the people That tiiis view is not a novel one with me, wisTonn and tellsThe**SouTh there must“b7no !

But when men must be had to fill the ranks of our armies, then each >y desire to execute the laws, will be clearly seen by the accompanying General Older No. 52, of April 6th, 1868, in which I announced to the people of Georgia and candidates for election my views of ttie eligibility of candi dates under the laws cf Congress. It is not my purpose to dictate to the two Houses how or when they will apply this test to the several members. Ordinarily each House is undoubt edly the judge of the qnalifieations of its mem bers ; but in view of the fact that the Legisla ture, until the State is admitted, by compliance with the requisitions of the acts of Congress, is only provisional, and suject to the authority of the District Commander; and in view of the further fact that it is my duty, so long as military government exists, to see that the laws be faithfully executed, I feel constrained j to say that I cannot recognize any act of the j From the Montgomery Advertiser.

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 * j The grand and glorious 4th is upon us, with its attendant retinue of buck negroes in pink | cambric shirts, it being the uniform of that 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. * * * Civis. 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. Rates of Advertising.

The want of these in their Con ventions and official life has exposed them to the ridicule of the world, and is a serious hin drance to their progress; it has filled their minds with false views and hopes; it has turned them away from the duties of life; it has misled them as the need of virtue, intelli gence and Industry; it is pushing them back to barbarism by making them feel they can hold power before they have learned the de- mauds of social life and liberty.

Within the past few years it has made nearly monthly changes it! the tar iffs. Ifcbinders labor and enterprise by heavy 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 tressed, our manufacturers complain that tax- ; ation outweighs the protection of tariff, and our farmers are indignant with unequal and j Farmers will be expected to close accoucis ! insulting exemption from the costjff local,; at the end'of each vear.

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. ’— ‘•Now, before I answer you, Sr.-t let me know what you think it is.” u \\ ell, your honor, we have talked it over, and , ;ij s <th we theik it is a star sprung a leak.” j 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.

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.

Well, 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- : jng completely down, and kept on shaking till - 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- ; pie of the neighborhood thought the sun wa3 in eclipse.” “ Can’t believe anything like that, Tom.” “It’s a fact,” said Tom; “ and there’3 a far- ' mer down there who, in apple picking season, ; hauls his niggers out to the orchard and sets j one up against each tree.
