Anew era, however, has dawned upon the South ; slavery no longer exists ; the hiuck man has Censed to he property ; and capital must now seek now Investments. Where will it find it? “ Ocopiico" tells the secret, when lie de clares that “under our very feet are mines ol Hgilcullnral wealth,” which, if properly explor ed and judiciously managed, will make our coun try the richest, most prosperous, beautiful and desirable on the lace of God’s green earth, Tito old fashioned plan tips however, reply: ‘■We admit the truth of your declaration j we Know that Southern Georgia possesses the finest agricultural advantages of America; we know that the soil is rich, and that the dolvcr would he handsomely repaid for any and every i port expended lit its full development; but how arc we to proceed?

An unsuccessful attempt was made in the Georgia House of Beproscntativos, on hist Sat urday, says the Savannah News, to save the dig nity and honor or the State by reconsidering tho resolution to refer the (pivstion of negro eligibil ity to the Supreme Court for decision. The ques lion now rests with the Court, and though front the know n opinions of some ol the Judges, in reference tv the bearing of the State Constitu tion on that question, it can hardly be doubted that the decision w ill be averse to the preten sions of the negroes, still it would have been more consistent with the dignity of the Legisla ture it' limy had refused to submit their action to the revision of the Court, nt the dictation of th« Radical faction itt Congress. It is true that a constitution forced upon the people of a .Stale nt the point of the bayonet, is not likely to be regarded with the respect mid veneration that a similar Instrument, framed in tjio true spirit of American Republicanism by the people them selves, would be, but so long as the forms es a I State government are preserved, the legislature, noting as the representatives of the peoplo of a j sovereign State, should preserve the dignity and authority ot the State, and not by shaping their ! action in conformity with a revolutionary faction ! In Congress, set an example of servility, and es tablish a precedent of truckulent submission lo party dictation, which w ill stand as a perpetual reproach and disgrace to the Stale, authorizing and inviting still further aggressions and humil iations. But, ns we have said, the matter is now in (he hands of the Supreme Court. Wejhallse, it it will set the rare example, in this degenerate day. of maintaining its ow n rights and dignity, and thus rescuing the honor ol Georgia.

At! this point the Finance Committee Heps forth, and proposes to act as mediator between a tax bur Abetted people and the official who bus been charged with rob bery— and modestly asks tt suspension of ! public opinion, as it is potmUc, the difli I cully may be adjusted. This is the cool <st act of stupidity—the most unreason able request we ever recollect sensible men to italic of an outraged people. Gov. lift,lock may have appropriated j the thirty live thousand dollars for nec essary Stale affairs-v-lio may not have expended one cent in his own behalf but be cannot justify bis course in placing bis band in the Treslury without wur rant of law. He vxinjted the preroga-j tivq of t tic Legislative Department of the government by such act —and thus per jured himself before God and man ; for be took tin oath to support the (.'onstitu. lion of the State which distinctly declar es that the Legislative Executive and Judicial Departments ot the Govern ment shall be separate and distinct—and that no appropriation of money shall be made unless sanctioned and directed by the law making | ower. Therefore, the facts are these, (if the Treasurer has told the truth about the $85,000): that Governor Hillock either robbed the Treasury of thirty-five thou sand dollars belonging to a tux burUicn ed people or lie bus perjured himself by uppiopriating tho funds of tho Seate without warrant of law. In cither case he ought to be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, and driven ignomin ottsly from the Capitol. Some of anr o .temporaries are loud in praise of Ancieu, the Treasurer, for his hom'd exposition of Gov. Bullock's “lit tle disagreeable transaction.” They say that although a “brother Radical,” he has clothed up a multitude of sins by this fearless, honest, and manly* expose of the Governor. Well, we are ready to “give the Devil his due,” atpl if Treas urer Akguir was influenced by honest motives, ho deserves all the eucomuifns heaped upon hint Hut wo are afraid he : Inis some selfish purpose to advance ; for we have a faint recollection of a “lit tle transaction” this same individual at tempted to “put through,” which reflects credit upon him neither as an official or as a man. The State was indebted to a member of the “Constitutional Convcn lion” for mi age and per diem. The said member requested Treasurer Axmra to ettslt bis warrant and received reply by mail, that there was no money in the Trees ! t try for the payment of the claim, unless he would discount it ten per cent. The Treat) titer did not make this proposition as a j Money Broker, Lulas an official of the Write of (livrr/ia.

Os one fact, however, we are satisfied, there Inis been no business of an impor tant character transacted during the present session. I Perhaps the following lines, which we | find in the Milledgevillo Union, and stvl ! ed by the author “A Peep into a Case in | Kimball’s Saloon,” (the new Capitol), 1 may explain matters: ; It was night ami cn tallies ami fiene-lies nvouml, j la fumes ot tobacco ami whiskey they bask The boys worn all drunk and 1 boat'd not a sound But the dram seller lapping anew whiskey cask.
