Tss State Lnnatio Asylum has 382 patients, and 75 applicants waiting for accommodations. Annexation.—Sonia' of .-the New York papers are agitating the subject* ot the.. annexation-<rf Brooklyn to New York. iT.CTivnim Urr.wfn, late Chief of-the Bare at of Statistics at Washington <3ity, has bought the National Intelligencer. The Warrenton Clipper* learns that all the military stationed at- that place,- excepting <mh> company, were to leaves on the 1st instant. Utah.—An appointment-for -Governor of Utah has been made by-the Erosident, the pub lication of which is withheld for "the present A news-stand in Mobile sold one hundred and eighty copies of “Yashti,” Mrs. Augusta-3”. Evans Wilson’s new novel, within six hours af ter the work was received. Db. C. P. Culver,, of Washington, who since the Fair has been seriously sick with pneumonia at the Brown Eouse, is now decidedly better, and will be able to leave hiaroom in a few days. nivnncE nv Wholesale.—-Three -hundred and twenty-one applications ror .j*-. *.»«-«» i*»- fore the Court of Common-Pleas--for Middlesex county, Massachusetts, this, winter. Perhaps some reconstruction is needed there. “The recent, reneifal of motive .-hostilities against the persons nnd property of colored citi zens and white Republicans,” says the Gov ernor’s proclamation of 29th November, and thereupon ho starts upon tbo murders of Ayer and Adkins to illustrate the “recent renewal.” Fob Texas.—The-. Borne Southerner of the 1st instant says some forty or fifty citizens of Floyd connty took the Selma, Borne and Dalton railroad, the day previous, on their -way to Texas. For somo months past,-there hao been a considerable emigration to the.- West, from toatregion. Columbia (S. G.) j-Ganal.— 1 The • Columbia Phoenix learuB that Col. • Pearce, the agent .of the Messrs. Sprague,, has arrived in .that .city, where ho may be expected-to remain, for a con siderable time. His arrival is in ref erence to the improvement of the property tin the neighborhood of the canal. Col. Nunnally.—This .gentleman, Senator from the Griffin district, has.-nritten a letter, to Col. Styles, of the Albany- News, emphatically denying all knowledge, of, or connection with, any "conspiracy” to sell .out.-the Democratic party to Gov. Bullock and the Radicals, as charged by the News some days-cince. The work on the big iron railroad bridge over the Ohio River, at Louisville, is nearly done, and trains will pass over by the ,I5to instant. It was commenced in August, 1867,-and is 3,280 feet long. The total quantity of iron, wrought and cast, used in the construction of this,great bridge, is 8,700,000 pounds, and the amount of timber, including rail, .joist, cross-tiec and rail way, will be 040,000 feet, board measure. “Dixon’s System op Fabmino.”—Hon. A.-E. Marshall, present Secretary of the Senate, (says the Newnan Defender,) is now engaged in copy ing for the press, from his phonograph!omanu- script, a very valuable work on the subject of Agriculture, of which Mr. David .Dixon,. of Hancock county, is the anther. This work was written phonogrephically by Mr. Marshall, as dictated by the author, and contains six hundred pages, octavo. Mobtal Dim.—The prospect of Binkley, ex- Assistant Attorney General under Johnson get ting $50,000 damages for libel out of Rollins, late Commissioner of Internal Revenue, and whom he had arrested in Baltimore, on Satur day, may be very appropriately .captioned as above. Rollins will figure for a “Joyal” jury, and Binkley will be bilked and balked both of money and revenge. The faithful can’t be reached that way. Somebody’c-Chronology at Fault.—A Cairo correspondent^jf the New York Times assarts that “disregarding the unwritten or traditional, Egypt has a .continuous chronicle whieh goes back to the year 5807 before Christ. Nor is Iris a questionable chronicle, for every princi pal point in it is capable of confirmation.'’ Now, as Dr. Adam Clarke and other commentators fix the creation .4004 years before Christ, and our Masonic friends date the present year of light 58G9, it is evident the land of Egypt, or this correspondent or tbo biblical chronologist is mistaken. fiengrem -and XJeowia. - TheNew York Times cS the "29th dit., has* letter from its regular Washington--correspon dent, datedthe 27th, from which-we dip the fol lowing opening paragraph.: The status of Georgia will-bo ene-of the first matters to .receive the-attention iof • Congress, and the-resnlt is no longer • doubtful. I do not .sneak unadvisedly when I*ay thaWbo determi nation is “take the boll .by the -hems, and remand the-State to her-original condition un der the reaonstruction acts,.for toe-reason that she has not complied-either in good faith, or -even ins form with the conditions cf-rcstoration. I have yet-to meet a single Republican member •of-Congress who does not deem this-tho shortest and most effective way of compellingRus recal citrant State and people to respect the. funda mental- law-cs it now stands, and to -abido per manently hy-the results of the war. I Itic a matter •of record today that Georgia istbe -worst State in the South with which the -revenue *and law officers of tho Government have to deal; there is more disregard and violation of law ; more •contempt for tho authority of the Government; less safety.foc those wbose.dnty it is to execute -the law, than any other State in to© Omen. And there iano hope of a better condition, of things mntil the backbone of tha present .anomalous status is broken, and General Terry, is made the absolute Government of tho State, and a genuine reconstruction is begun under .his administra- rticc. The opinion that this-shonld-bs speedily done prevails, I am satisfied,, with a ..majority of the Cabinet, and if measures to. this end are •enacted by .Congress they will receive the prompt.approval of the Executive. .The, people of Georgia had, therefore, better, begin to look the matter square in the face. They -will find tnat cjongress is tired of being-irified with, and that the policy here foreshadowed will.be sub stantially enacted into law very early-iia the session. Not All Dead Yet.—The World, of Wednes day, says that the Cubansdmve another expedi tion on hand, which will _cnrpas3 all previous efforts. Tho Junta are new paying out over $000 per day for board of tho men who are in this city, awaiting the word to sail. Contracts have been made with several merchants for a largo number of Winchester repeating rifles and Peabody breech loaders, with suitable am munition, and in one case the contracts have been already filled. It is improbable that the expedition will .start. before. the .meeting of Congress. To be Put on the sFbee List.—The Herald’s Washington special of Monday, says that the Ways and Means Committee of the House have had several meetings already, with a view to re vise the tariff, and that a long list of articles heretofore heavily taxed, will be put on tho freo list. Among them are chalk pepper, nutmegp, cassia, cinnamon, cloves, ; cIove stems, mace, ground cayenne pepper, vanilla beans, manufac tured cork, barks from which quinine and other drugs are produced, crude camphor,all gums use d in the manufacture of tho best .varnishes, crude gutta perch and India rubber, upon which tho duties now range from €0 to 800 per cent! Increase of Congressional Represent tation. A Washington special to tho Courier-Journal, of Tuesday, says a movement of considerable importance among Western Republican mem bers has just been developed in the preparation of a bill to increase Congressional representa tion, from the present basis of two hundred and forty members of the House of Representatives to three hundred. The basis of representation is usually fixed after the. taking of tho census but os the ninth census will hardly bo completed before 1872, it is intended to pass a bill thin winter slightly increasing the present basis of population and providing for threo hundred members for tho Forty-second Congress. West ern men say that .under the proposed apportion ment Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin will increase their present representation, while New Eng land will be reduced two or three members. Tlie Atlanta Municipal Election. This triangalar fight came off on Wednesday, nnd resulted in the election of Hon. William Ezzard, one of the Democratic candidates for Mayor, and a full Democratic Board of Aider- men. The vote for Mayor stood, Ezzard, Dem ocrat, 819 5 Alexander, Democrat, 498; Mark- _ ham. Republican, 702. The following aro the Aldermen elect: First Ward, D. C. O’Keifo and Castleberry; 2d Ward, J. H. Calloway JC ;. D . imnin b’ 5 3d Ward, W. C. Anderson and T . n > AUUCIMUUHUU j. G. Kelley; 4th Ward, C. P. Howell and M. LFow! y ’ 111 Wftr ^’ Anthony Murphey and A, Oar article yesterday upon tha conspiracy in Georgia foreshadowed all this .correspondent threatens. We.doubt not it is tho fixeienr- poee-of the ultra radicals in Congress to destroy tbo State of Georgia politically, since they can not hope to control her. Our offenco is -dkat we are Democrats, and not Radicals. That is the whole story. That accounts Cor all these slanders about disorder and opposition.to,.and defiance of, the Federal Government .in .this State, when there is none at alL When .Geor gia is more quiet and law abiding ihan nine- tentha of the States of the Union. When,'by a steady attention to her industrial pursuits she has raised herself, in three years, from utter insolvency to a financial condition which chal lenges the admiration of every visitor—which fills her towns with agents of Northern mer chants and manufacturers soliciting orders— which has made the credit of her people better in New Kork than that of any of the Western States, and has elevated 'her and her Southern sisters into a position in repect to productive and recuperative industry, which has made them in the words of the New York Tribune, the “Sal vation of , New York trade” this fall and winter. Against the demonstrations of such material .results the party falsehoods and slanders about -disregard and violation of law. cannot be cred ited by any man of common sense. Productive industry cannot exist in a condition of civil and social disorder, and therefore sve assert that all these stories are known calumnies, elaborated to cover and excuse a foregone .purpose, to dis able-the State, politically, from ,voting against Radicalism. If the Radicals in Congress choose to . make the venture, and for that bold and bad purpose determine to destroy tbo State government, upon their own heads be the conseqnences. We are defenseless, at present, but cannot always remain sc. Their reconstrcution has already worked thorn into a remediless Southern minor ity, and the more they have of it, the worse will be their situation. They cannot permanently conquer and Setter public opinion in tho South. They cannot -forever bind the people with the chains of Congressional tyranny and repression. Nor shall the people of toe South forever .stag ger under toe burden of bankrupt State treas uries, caused by toe ruinous frauds and spolia tions of the creatures and instruments of- Con gressional absolutism. Theso agents imposed -upon toe people against their will and contrary to fundamental law, have no power, either equitable or legal, to dmpose the monstrous pe cuniary burdens of tocir extravagance, waste and spoliation upon tbo people of toe Southern States; and in toe name of reason, justice and liberty, we will one day -east them off as we would a beggar’s rags. This atrocious tyranny of party, which, under toe specious guise of devotion to popular rights contemplates nothing more nor less than toe utter destruction of toe last.vestige of American freedom, we must calmly endure until God shall send the American people tight It may hasten toe dawriof that blessed day if new and start ling oppressions are inflicted on Georgia at the very moment when toe industry of her people is contributing, in so eminent a degree, to the prosperity of toe nation at large. The great bosiness and trade interests of toe United States may bo' shocked to see an old State publicly disgraced, discredited and trampled on by Congress andtoe politicians, which every trades man in America is most anxious to .recognize and correspond with in every form of busi ness and financial intercourse. Tlie Work Before Tliem. The indications are that no important legisla tion will be entered into by either Honse of Congress until after the Christmas holidays. The main features of the session, when its zeal business commences, will be Cuba, toe finances, tit. Domingo annexation, toe Darien ship canal, the census, revenue and reconstruction, of course. Without the latter, a session of Congress would be flavorless indeed. To go on and honestly legislate for toe good of toe people of toe whole country, and not for the advance ment of party purposes and personal ambitions and petty revenges, would reduce toe nation’s legislators to a very dull and spiritless role. Who would be most surprised to seo them play the part, themselves or toe country, it would be hard to say. It is some satisfaction to know, however, that toe ugly work is nauseating many stomachs heretofore set down as iron-clad, and that they may refuse to aid in toe perpetration of further iniquities. We have not yet got our consent to believe that Georgia will be turned over to the tender mercies of her worst and wickedest ene mies without vehement remonstrance, at least, from some of this class. Onr Railroad Future. Tho Press says no less seasonably than truth fully, that no clement of Sonthem strength is so hopeful os too facility and cheapnes with which railroads can be built over her flat coun try, especially across her cotton, rico, sugar and tobacco regions. It is well said by a lato writer that a country without railroads is tike a loco motive without fuel. Tho traveler in toe South is always oppressed by too comparative scarcity of passengers in the cars; but ho is apt to for get her valuable freight in the great products of toe soil and toe comparatively small cost of con structing her roads. Of course, population is toe great need of toe Sonth, bnt this will come jost as certainly os it followed toe railroads of the West. And in regard to cheap farms, varied products, and mild climate, tho Sonth has ad vantages of which onr new territories have never been able to boast. In twenty-five years toe railroads of the South will be nearly as pro ductive, if not a3 numerous, os those of the West. The inhabitants of the town of Red Dog, California, being disgusted with toe name ap peased their outraged sensibilities recently by moving to the neighborhood village of “Yon Bet,” Hon. Kelson Tift on the Situation Wo copy from the Albany News of last Fri day, a letter of Hon- Nelson Tiftncpon toe eita- *Son*in <Georgia, in respect to Congressional reconstruction, in wkkih he insists, as a poift of (honor, law and policy, that too negro mem bers dfthe Legislature -ought to be reseated, *nd-thos9 who now ooanpy these seats should peeign-nnd leave the Legislature ffree 'to reoon- srder tho resolution of expulsion. Now, ‘the Telegraph never shad a serious .ionbt'toet the Reconstruction acts and toe'Con- -fiitntioEL -adopted under them contemplate jper- Ceet eqwflity of political rights and privileges betweentoe two races. That 5s, of -course, a wery.unwelcome, ill-advised and injurious pali- ey. The effort to blend two raoes divided ‘im passably 'by God Almighty, in 'harmonious -.po litical assimilation and .co-operation, is a .war ageinst-nalnre which is 'bound te end at'lastin qwaoticftl-defeat, no matter -what laws or Consti- tuftons are-enacted; and-too more vigorously^ be pressed, toe sooner -this ultimate solution -will be- obtained. But all toi3 is nothing to toe immediate pur pose. Thofiaws, in our judgment, contempla- tediSiat.eqne.lily of rights -and privileges, and it •was a. piece-cf political impracticability to deny it; and-so -the effort now to obstruct or post pone the effect of the Supreme Court decision is equally ill-considered, and will practically imount-to notiiing. Wo have tried-our best to respect it as a piece of political policy under the situation, -bat it is not worth a rag. There fore, 'ic-e should consent to reseat toe negroes if that weald avail to make peace-with‘Congress. Buttoo obviously, even Ciat -will amount to little or nothing. Another indispensable condi tion to peace dsdbo passage of toe 15th amend ment, and hore-ie a point of principle where we are estopped. We cannot, in good conscience, recommend anybody to go for tho ISMi amend ment. It is a-sale of the constitution and gov ernment to Congress. It not only takes from toe States toe power to constitute their -own citizenship, bnt, .under toe grant -of power to “enforce toe amendment by appropriate legis lation,” turns evory State election, if needfial, over to toe control of federal bayonets. It practically annihilates the States as balances in the Federal system, and consolidates a central despotism in point-of fact wholly irresponsible to law and toe people. To voto for it is treason ±o liberty. And, finally, success -on even these hard con- -ditions of Congressional non-interference must depend upon Radical co-operation in the State {Legislature, which is already committed to the defeat of all compromise between the people of 'Georgia and Congress. Governor Bullock has already engineered one defeat of the fifteenth amendment, and in some way will engineer a defeat of a motion to reseat the negroes. The paint aimed at is the political disfranchisement of Georgia in Congress, and toe reason is—her people do not vote the Radical ticket. W-e.must go to Coventry again, in spite of all Mr. Sift or any other Democrat can do. We shall probably be called on to .-endure much— but the voice of the people wiE ultimately as sert itself and be heard. The rebound will be all the greater for the increased repression. The whole tribe of Radical maehinators, big and little, .will in time be pitched, like Lucifer, from toe. topmost pinnacle of pride and power, into the lowest abyss of Pandemonium. Well Answered. Since toe death of - Mr. Raymond, -the New York Times has. sadly deteriorated. From ono of the most polished and courteous of antago nists, it has lapsed into a coarseness and truou- lonco that would have shamed its maker, as much as it has disgusted too liberal and culti vated class to whom it has habitually addressed itself. It is no longer toe organ of toe gentlemen of toe Republican .party of the North,but seems rather to court toe bravos of that mob of bum mers and spoilsmen whose shibboleth is execra tion of “rebels” and “traitors,” and a noisy de votion in barrooms and convocations of the “Grand Army of the Republic,” to what they aro pleased to term “loyalty,’’and “loyal” men. We regret that a paper that stood so high should descend. so low, and that a great power in journalism—one that so well illustrated toe energy, toe activity, and toe genius of toe American mind—should prostitute its influence to such unworthy and unpatriotic purposes. Just now it is especially illustrating this de cadence by a vehement assault upon Mr. Davis. The fallowing extract will serve as a specimen: “Jefferson Davis is henceforth free of all pub lic prosecution and private molestation. The fact is. especially noteworthy, as it happens just at the moment when the revolutionary chiefs of Western Europe (meaning France) are encour aging new obstacles to political rehabilitation, and are subjected to fresh persecutioirs-of almost everykind. This difference does honor to our people and to our institutions—to our people, in that it shows that their sentiments are guided by the elevated principle of Christianity rather than by the vile and vindictive instincts of the savage; to our.instilutiont, in that it shows that they repose so largely on the moral foundations which uphold them, without the aid of the harsh penalties and intimidations which alone sustain the thrones of tlie Old World. Commenting upon which toe Courier dee Etats .Unis, toe French organ of New York city, retorts as follows. If there is any room for a response by toe Times, ure confess onr inabili ty to see it: “Of such, declamations, are say frankly and firmly that they are purely and simply calum nies on the French people and their institu tions. To say that the revolutionary chiefs of- Westem Europe (read Franco) ‘encounter new siltoinrlnnrt naiiino/’/ni/iVina * TheCieorgiaPnm The-Chrpiiicle*&.Sentinel argues against ‘the continuance of-the income-tax, upon the ground that a large-number, of people who are most able to bear the-expenses ofgovemment pay nothing, while-toosalaried and professional manipoys, in addition do tlie.goneral revenue tax, this speoial burden, placed-by-the-government on 'his men tal and phisical-labor. It declares that dt>is in no sense an eqnal<or just-one,*and that though the-South pays very little of it, comparatively, yet-its burden falls-heaviest upon the -class tliat should be free from its exactions. The Chronicle also calls attention to'the-fal lacy of the idea that Spain is a feeble nnd effete power, giving a list of the ships and the guns they carry, of the Spanish n*r«*y, as proof thereof. It appears (that the Dons have a fleet of 117 .vessels, carrying 1,805 guns, all ready for active service. From the 1st of April, 1609, to November 25to, 1800, toe receipts in toe Augusta treasury were $344,980 53, while the expenditures were $53S,-60G:64. The Constitutionalist notes the formation .of a company nnder toe name of the “People’s Daily Line,” to run a -daily line -of -steamers from Augusta to Savannah. The oerporators live in Richmond and -Chatham counties, and application for incorporation has 'bees -made to Chatham Superior Const. The capital stock ■will be $3GjtK)0 paid in, with tho privilege of an increase to $100,000. ' • A man named Cadell, from Burke connty, was knocked down in Augusta, on Monday ■night, by a negro, and robbed of $20. The Constitution pays two Macon officisls toe fallowing handsome compliment: Mayob Obeab, op Macon.—While in Macon, -during the Fair, we had the pleasure of meeting our old acquaintance, Mayor Obear, and of receiving courtesies from him. He is au elegant gentleman and a fine official, and-does credit to the Mayoralty of that beauti ful and aristocratic -city. Macon is fortunate in having such an executive. We also met toe pleasant and -efficient Clerk of Council, Capt. C. J. Williamson, a gallant one-amed soldier of too Confederacy. These acknowledgements should have been made earlier. The Constitution announces too assembling of the State Supreme Court on Monday, in At lanta, and says it will -continue its arrangement with toe reporter, Col. Hammond, to publish toe decisions. Wo find the following nows items in the Con stitution of same date : Fine Cowon.—W. E. Penffiey, Esq., of Lithonia, has placed on exhibition at P. W. J. Echols’ store, a fine stalk of Dixon cotton with over two hundred bolls of cotton on it. The cotton was raised by W. A. Evans, Esq., and took a premium at too meeting of the DeKalb Agricultural Soeiety, on Saturday last. Mr. Pendley took a premium on his oats. Cutting Scrape.—Last night, Broad street was aronsed by tho cry of murder in front of the Post-office. When toe police arrived on tho spot, one of toe men fled, leaving his hat be hind. The man who hallowed, was Dr. Proctor, who was found to be badly cut about toe head. Dr. Proctor, said*he knew who cut him, but did not give his assailant’s name. Emiobants.—Another large batch of colorod emigrants to Mississippi passed through Atlan ta yesterday. A colony of three hundred whites are expected to pass through hero week after next. THE POLITICAL SITUATION IN GEORGIA. Wliot too Legislature Should Bo. Correspoadence Between Messrs. Wooten nnd Tift. obstacles and are subject to fresh persecutions, at the very moment when toe largest amnesty ever proclaimed effaces with one scratch of the pen all political condemnations, and opens the frontiers to all exiles, is an abuse of toe right whieh certain writers arrogate to themselves of trifling with toe truth. As to ‘toe rile and vin dictive instincts of the savage,' whieh are put by this writer in contrast with the sentiments of toe American people, and ‘the elevated princi ple of Christianity' which guide them, we can scarce believe that such expressions, even from a pen so thoughtless, could be applied to too French. Thank God we have not, as a people, to take lessons of generosity from the Ameri can people; and we limit ourselves at present to reminding too Times that the manner in which, ajter five years of pacification, the van quished of the South arc still treated, has no ex ample in cotemporary history, except in the case of the subjugation of Poland." A Leaf from History. Tho Baltimore Gazette, in an article upon the folly of attempting to force a resumption of spe cie payments, calls attention to toe fact that in 1817, after twenty years of suspension, and when gold had fallen to less than one per cent premium, resumption was .determined upon in England. In somo parts of the country bullion had been so abundant that country bankers found it difficult to dispose of their gold. Yet so great was tho rush for coin, the moment tha resumption was attempted, and so dangerously were toe business interests of the country dis turbed, that, on toe report of Mr. Peel, toe House in two nights passed a bill for the relief of toe bank. Finally, resumption was post poned till 1823. When left to itself, unham pered by hasty legislation, toe bank resumed specie payments as soon as toe credit of the State had been firmly established, and two years before tho time limited. Towle.—Mr. Hamilton E. Towle, of New York, has arranged the ordinary spirit-level so that it can rotate horizontally, whereby tho samo height at a number of different positions can bo readily determined without moving the tripod or stand on which toe instrument is placed. This invention will be especially use ful to builders in fixing the heights of founda tions. Tho Advertiser of same date, says: Disteessino Accident.—Wo learn that on Monday afternoon last, between 8 and 4 o’clock, as a small boy about fivo years of ago, son of John L. Grayson, deceased, was playing with several of his playmates in his yard, near the comer of Stewart and West Broad streets, he was shot In the mouth by some person unknown. The ball passed through from toe right side of toe face near the month, completely lacerating the tongue and inflicting such a serious wonnd that it is thought the child cannot recover. All efforts to discover toe perpetrator of tho deed havo thus far proved unavailing. Tho Atlanta Era “deeply regrets” to an nounce that Gen. Terry is still sick, and not able to attend to business. The Athens Watchman announces the elec tion of Mr. J. A. Robson, of Sandersville, an ex-Confederate soldier who lost a limb during too war, as anniversarian for the Demosthenian ■Society of too University. Mr. R. H. John ston, of Griffin, was elected anniversarian by toe.Phi Kappa Society. The Watchman also chronicles too burning of a new and extensive tannery, owned by Messrs. Randolph, near Jefferson, Jackson county, in cluding a large quantity of tan bark, cotton gin, -tho gin bouse, and a quantity of cotton. Loss about $5,000; and no insurance. Under the head of “Longevity,” the Carters- ville Express says an old lady, aged 103 years, was in too store of Messrs. Howard <fe Erwin, last week, and sold them twenty-five pairs of men’s socks, her own spinning and knitting. Daring the year she manufactured seventy-five pairs. She was bom in Pennsylvania, in 1700. Tlie KewYork Underground Railroad Will have its lower terminus between the old City Hall and the now York Post-office, where there will be a depot five hundred feet long, whieh will be a splendid architectural work, we 1 lighted and ventilated. It is proposed to have stations at intervals of about one-fourth of a mile along toe route, to be reached by orna mental stairways from too sidewalk. The largest sub-stations between toe City Hall and Harlem will be in Union and Madison squares. The proposed route of toe tunnel is from toe City Hall easterly across to Centre street, across Pearl street to Mulberry, nnder Mulberry to Bleecker street, ncrosB Bleecker to Lafayette place, up Lafayette place to Astor place, across Eighth street, nnder St. Ann’s Church, to toe westerly side of Fourth avenue to Union square; the tunnel will then be continued toSeveuteenth street, nnd in a direct line to Twenty-third street; then under Madison square to Madison avenue, and up Madison aveuuo to Eighty-sixth street; thence in a direct lino to One Hundred and Twentieth street and to toe Harlem river, and thenco along toe Harlem river to the head of Third avenue. The directors estimate that toe cost of too road, according to the new report of the engi neers, will amount to $10,000,000 or 812,000,000. At least, they will not undertake to work with out $10,000,000 being subscribed, so that they will ;be able to defray all expense at the end o each week while toe road is being constructed. If tho road to Harlem proves a success, it is the intention of toe Company to extend it into Westchester at once. Sonth Georgia Annnnl Conference, Jt. E. Church, Sonth.

Dawson, Ga., November 18, 1809. Dear Sir :: The -General Assembly, at its -last session, adopted a joint resolution, submit ting to the decision of toe Supreme Court, the -question as to-toe right of toe colored man to hold office in Georgia. That tribunal bas de clared in favor of the disputed right. It is, I believe, generally understood that this resolu tion imports a pledge, on toe part of toe Legis lature, to be governed .by that decision in toe case of the colored men, who now claim seats in the legislative halls of toe State. It requires not the gift of prophecy to forsseo that-very grave questions, growing ant of this State of tha case, will be presented.for too con sideration of the Legislature at its approaching session. No question of greater importance will probably engage the attention of that body. Its determination may involve all that is valua ble in toe way of government, remaining to the people of Georgia. If you will pardon thorefer- enco to myself, I will say that I, as a member of the Legislature, construed the Constitation adversely to tho eligibility of the colored man, and cast my vote in accordance with that view. Not only so; I opposed, with all the $ower at my command, the passage of the resolution re ferring the question to the Supreme Court. I did this because, under the Constitution, whieh makes each House the judge of the election re turns and qualification of its members. I re garded the action of the Legislature as final and conclusive oa the subject. But the resolution was adopted. The decision of the Snpreme Court has been rendered. In view of these facts it is not difficult to per ceive that the position of the Legislature is one of responsibility and embarrassment. To steer between Scylla and Charybdis, to stand by a record made in honesty and good ~ faitb, to maintcin that dignity and independence which should characterize "every legislative body, on the one hand, and on the other, to eseape the evils that further Congressional interference would probably entail on a people who havo al ready seen enough of tho Moloch features of reconstruction, is a question of no easy solu- tion. Believing that you feel an abiding interest in this matter, and knowing that you, as a Repre sentative in Congress, have made earnest and faithful efforts to preserve tho status of Geor gia, I take the liberty to suggest that a public communication from yon disclosing all the facts pertaining to this question, within your knowl edge, as well as any pledges made or assurances given, may greatly facilitate_, if not influence, the action of the Legislature in the premises. I am, very respectfully, yours, O. B. Wooten. Hon. Nelson Tift, Albany, Ga. Albany, Ga., November SO, 1809. Dear Sir :—As one of the Representatives of Georgia in Congress, I do not hesitate, in an swer to yonr letter, to state such facts as in my opinion are necessary to a proper understand ing of the present relation of Georgia to Con gress. After the reconstruction of Georgia nnder tho acts of Congress in July, 1808, and the ad mission of onr Representatives to. Congress, both branches of the Legislature of Georgia, under the constitutional authority to judgo of the election and qualification of members of their respective Houses, adjudged and declared the colored members ineligible, and their places were filled by the eligible candidates who had received tho next highest number of votes. This action of the Legislature was denounced by Governor Bullock to Congress, as revolu tionary and violative of toe conditions upon whieh Georgia was. admitted to representation in Congress under tho Reconstruction Acts, whereupon our Senators wore refused admission to the Senate, and bills were introduced in both Houses of Congress proposing various penal correctives. Subsequently a bill was agreed upon by the friends of the several bills, and reported by the Chairman of the Honse Reconstruction Com mittee, (Mr. Butler,) whieh combined the worst features of the bills previously introduced, and embodied a military despotism for Georgia of the most mab'gnant type. The passage of this bill was defeated nnd further action postponed until December, with great difficulty; and prominent among the means vsed to that end, was tho passage by toe Legis lature of toe preamble and resolution to which you refer. Tho following extracts from toe record will show toe opinion which the frionds of Goo'rgia entertained of this action of the Legislature, and the use they made of it. In my published “statement to tho Recon struction Committee of the Honse,” (February 18, 1809,) after setting forth the reasons upon which tho Legislature had acted in excluding the colored members, too “Statement” pro ceeds : “ Let us suppose, for the sake of the argument, that tlio decision of tho Legislature is wrong, and tliat tho Constitution rightly construed makes every elector eligible to office. What is tho proper reme dy? I answer without hesitation or a doubt: In Georgia, as in every republican State, tho only proper romedy for this and all similar evils is in tho ballot and tho courts. Theso means are as ample, and will bo as potent m Georgia as in any other Stato. “Both branchoBof the Legislature of Georgia havo recently, in deference to tho opinion of thoso who differ with them on tho question of tho eligi bility of colored citizens to hold office under the Constitution and tho laws of tho State, passed tho following resolution: “ Whereas, It is believed that a judicial decision of the question of tho colored man’s right to hold offico in Georgia under tho Constitution now in force, would restore the State to her proper posi tion in tho Union and give quiet throughout the State; and whereas, said question is ono which the courts of tho State can properly tako cognizance of; and whereas, wo, the representatives of tho peoplo of Georgia, aro unwilling that any effort should bo spared on our part to bring about a stato of peaco and happiness to the people, and and a settlement of that important question: be it therefore— “Resolved by the Senate and House of Jlepre- sentatives of the State of Georgia in General As sembly convened, That a case involving tho right of tho colored man to hold office, shall, as soon as tho same can be properly brought before the Su premo Court of tho State, bo hoard and determined by said Court, and we believe that tho people of tho State will, as they have heretofore always done, in good faith, abide tho decision of toe highest judi cial tribunal of too State, whenever so declared.” This seems to bo tho only responsa which could have been given to the charges of wrong which have been brought against them here. It Bhows a con sciousness of right, and a desire, at all times, to abide by the constitution and laws, as they may bo expounded by tho courts." In Gov. Bullock’s “Reply,” dated Executive Department, Atlanta, Ga. February 26th, 1809, directed to toe Reconstruction Committee, and printed by order of tho House—after quoting the above resolution, he says: , “This resolution, as i9 well known to the Hon. Mr. Tift, was adopted by the legislature without any intention on tnair part to abido by such decision, if it should bo in tho affirmative, so far as their own membership is concerned. It is a fact notori- oualy public, that a very considerable division of his-political party occurred upon too adoption of this resolution—both wings, however, of that party declaring their intention not to abide by such deci sion, maintaining, that their action, so far as their own membership was affected, was final and unal terable, and one from which they would never re cede. “As there waB nothhing in this resolution tending in auy measure to bring about a settlement of too matter at issue, I declined to approve it, and it is now on tlio table of the Houso of representatives awaiting further action.” In my “Rejoinder” to Gov. Bullock—printed by order of the House—referring to this sub- jeot, I said: ‘I disagree entirely with Governor Bullock. I believe that tlie preamble and resolution expresses truly tho motive and purposes of the Legislature who passed them, and they could not properly go further or do more under the circumstances. The Legislature cannot rofer the question of the eligi bility of members to their body to tho Supreme Court, because it is a question confided by the Con stitution to the Legislature, and the court has no jurisdiction. Bnt when a case shall come before the Supremo Court in the usual way, their decision will be an authoritative exposition of what tho Con stitution really means anu is on this subject, and will settle 'the whole question, because, after that timo, all persons, in the Legislature or out of it, who take the oath to support toe Constitution, must accept that -meaning.” Such was the meaning which was given to the preamble and resolution of toe Legislators by the friends of Georgia, among whom I include President Grant and several members of the Republican party in Congress. To show still more clearly my own conviction that the Legislators had provided for a final set tlement of our difficulty with Congress, I make toe following extract from my address “To the Press and People of Georgia,” which was pub lished in the Albany News, of. April 23, 1869, and was generally copied by the Press of toe State, with wards of approval: “There is now really but one disturbing olement between ns and a majority of Congress: the right of colored men to hold office nnder onr Constitu tion and laws. It was (represented, and generally- believed. that the Legislature acted in wiltol viola tion of law in declaring them eligible. The opinion and decision of Judge Schley in the case of the State vs. White, which was printed in tho National Intelligencer and distributed in Congress, modified, and in some instances changed, tho prevalent opinion of tho action of the Legislature. That case will be decided by tho Supreme Court of Georgia in June. The decision will settlo the law on that sub ject. The-peqple of Georgia will abide by it; Con gress will, jn my opinion, be satisfied of its justice —will admit .the State to representation, and thus will end our Federal troubles.” ■From these extracts it will bo perceived that too friends of Georgia in Congress and else where, understood the preamble and resolution above quoted, as a sincere pledge of their fu ture action, intended to settle the important quostion in-controversybetween the Legislature anrl-Congress by toe decision of our courts, and thus to avoid the threatened change from civil to military Government in onr State. If resnlts should prove that I havo misappre hended the purpose of too Legislature in the passage, of this preamble and resolution, I shall ever regret that I have been the innocent in strument of a misrepresentation which involves the character and honor of my Stato. But I will not doubt the result. The decision of the court has been made. Tho people of Georgia are an honorable and law-abiding people, and the pledge of their Representatives will be per formed. The constitutional power of the respective Houses of the Legislature to judge of the elec tion and qualification of their own members, is never so concluded that errors of judgment may not be corrected. If a contestant should be ad mitted to his seat upon the judgment of the Honse, that he was duly elected and qualified, and it should subsequently appear that he was disqualified, or that he was not the person elect ed, they have the power, and it would be their duty to correct their former decision. They are judges of the law and the facts, and there is no legal appeal from their decision. I do not deem it necessary to discuss prece dents on this subject. Our entire history since toe war has been without precedent Placed outside of the protection of toe Constitution— powerless to protect ourselves—we have accept ed, and must continue to accept, what seems to be the least of inevitable evils, until Congress is satisfied that we have complied with toe con ditions of the Reconstruction Acts. Governor Bollock and some of his political friends have personal and political reasons for defeating, if possible, any action of the' Legis lature looking to a compliance with their resolu tion. "Whatever may be their public profes sions, they have been using, and will continue to use their utmost efforts to secure Congres sional interference and a reorganization of the State Government, and they will not permit toe pretexts for such action to be removed, if they can avoid it Skoy will, if necessary, sacrifice the people of Georgia to obtain their ends. The maintenance of our present State organi zation, in my opinion, will depend npon toe wisdom, patriotism, and self-sacrificing spirit of tho members of tho Legislature. They will not allow selfish considerations, or necessary sac rifices to stand in toe way of duty. Those who occupy the seats of too expelled members will doubtless tender their resignations, so as to leave the Legislature freo to reconsider the reso lution of expulsion. If the necessary action Ls taken promptly upon the ground that it is in compliance with the law, and their pledge to abide by it, it will refute the predictions and silence the slanders of our enemies, and our Federal troubles, show to our colored citizens that we are willing to'do them justice according to the law, and enable us to maintain a State organization which will pro vide for and protect the interests of the people of Georgia. _ If I were a member of the Legislature, in view of our present condition, and the future in terests of Georgia, I would remove the pretexts for the interference of Congress in our State Government, by complying with tlie pledge of the Legislature. No one can regret more deeply than I do tho present condition of the United States, and the condition of the State of Georgia, which, in my opinion, justifies toe advice I have given. * But I do not despair of the future. Unavoidable evils are overruled for onr good. Let ns make a virtue of necessity and trnst to that wise and merciful Providence, who will guide us through toe present darkness to a brighter and happier future.

Thero is a strange movement away below in the hall—a real enthusiasm is there; let us listen. What cry is that? “ Vive Rochefort/” Roche fort is coming—Rochefort has come. Yet I had my eye on the door nnd saw nobody enter. Thero he is. How did he come in? “Thp same way he wished to get into toe Chamber," says Gavroche, “by too window.” Thero is a hnrry-senrry on toe platform.— President is excited; Commissary looks like a hen on a hot griddle. Hnzza! A tall, slim young man is helped up toe steps and comes forward smiling. Huzza again! ’Tis Roche fort. The little bell is agitated, and-while the President is frantically endeavoring to restore something like order, I shall endeavor briefly to trace toe portrait of this man, who has taken a somersault into notoriety within a short twelvemonth, partly by his own audacious wit, but chiefly by tho blind impolicy of a govern ment which made him somebody by lending the charm of tho forbidden to his piquant and too often indecent sallies. He is ugly; but so was Mirabcau, toe ultra- radicals say. A face such as one might meet any day on the Cannabierre of Marseilles, or, to come nearer home, inthepnrliensof Hatton- garden, behind a hurdy-gurdy and a learned monkey. A complexion, sallow, turning to the green that is fonnd on occasion in the counte nance of the Emperor he loves to blackball. A nose pert, audacious, intrusive, rising, promon tory-like, from toe physiognomy—a prominent forehead and eyes which sparkle from malice. There is a portrait of Rochefort which repre sents him very much with the air of a Texan editor, who is in toe act cf handing his familiar answer to too challenge of CoL Buncombe at tho whisky-store around the comer; but to-night ho does not look ferocious. Iu fact, he is timid, uneasy, oppressed with emotion. He wears a dark mustache and nourishes a flourishing tupt, a la Yankee, under his chin. As a whole, the man’s appearance is not prepossessing, candor is wanting, and, for the moment, firmness.— Cor. London Herald. Business Aspects the Coming Year. The New York Times, of Monday, says: There can be no use in disguising the fact, oven if it were possible, that a profound anxie ty pervades the business community in regard to the coming year. The long-predicted “shrink age," whioh has. been so often falsely prophe- cied that people have come to doubt its ever occurring, seems at length really to have begnn. Prices of commodities have undoubtedly begnn to fall; the currency is slowing bnt steadily ap preciating, and toe result is, as was to be ex pected, a temporary slackness and dullness in almost all branches of business, and consider able tightness in the money market. * * * The appreciation, too, of toe currency; or “the fall in gold,”is a matter partly metaphysi cal as well as financial—that is, it depends on the general feeling and confidence of too public, as well as on laws of economy. There isjnow. a general expection abroad in the community that prices are boginiDg to fall —and that a dollar will bo worth more in value a few months hence than it is now. Conse quently, consumers hesitate to buy except what is absolutely necessary; dealers and jobbers are forced to make smaller purchases or “to carry” heavy stocks; manufacturers and importers find themselves with large quantities of goods on band, which they are anxious to dispose of, as their price may continually fall Money is in demand to carry these various articles, or keep dealers afloat till they find purchasers.— But lenders aro becoming timid in faoe of a falling market, and great stringency shows itself, especially in the Western cities. ^ Who can look upon those neiahborine tajns and hills, the creation of His hsnS? iC . !I5 ' glance at the little piles which the bnii.D, E1 erected, without acknowledging how fcpt?’. 5 the human arm compared to the power it' 3 reared those stupendous monuments? y.,: 11 is ever beautiful, and even now we find in? perspective ronnd about .us abundant then? f admiration.

Apart from these idealistic dreamings-anut from toe healthful exercises of wandering ow! toe mountains and through the woods, and ft. pursuit of rural sports that give a ruddier oi 0I to toe cheek, and drive the blood in freer henlthier vigor through the human econotcr other and" more practical recreation is fonnd jj visiting and inspecting the great marble and slate quarries for which this country is celebra ted. The marble and slate region of Souther- Vermont is the most extensive and productive ij toe United States; andtoe developments pushed forward with commendable energy in this, (Rutland) county, have long made of these pro ducts au element of wealth and prosperitr whose beneficial effects are felt in tho commer cial interests of tho whole State. The working of marble quarries is not deserv ing just here any detailed description, although the various processes of sawing, enttinn,hoisting and modelling, now greatly simplified by modeni appliances, were alike instructive and interest, ing to us. We witnessed the raising from the depth of one hundred feet or more a greet block measuring a hundred cubic feet, and weighing perhaps fifteen tons. We saw the multitudinous thin steel saw strips put to wort to cut it into manifold slabs preparatory fothe final process of polish and ornamentation. These quarries but lately visited, have supplied mate- rial for many of our palatial metropolitan build- ings, and have also furnished monnments for nearly every cemetery in toe United States. The slate quarries are also yielding abund antly, both in the coarser material for roofing, and toe finer for ornamental furniture, mantels, table and bureau covers, etc. This latter un dergoes a process of marbleizing, toe details of which we gathered while on a visit a few days ago to the splendid works of a neigh boring manufactory. The slate is taken out of toe quarry generally in blocks five feet wide, seven feet long and two feet thick. It is split parallel with its Iamintation in sheets as into or an inch and a half in thickness, then plained, sawed and cut into any shape desired The catting is done by hand, except the straight mouldings, on which machinery is employed The scourers next take it in hand and give it the necessary smoothness of surface, after which it is ready to be marbleized. In a large tub or vat partly filled -with water and floating on the surface, is placed a mass of stiff, gluey substance resembling mineral paint, and into this snbstance, whieh is either white or colored, according to the base desired, the coloringor vein matter is placed, and traced, with a stick in the hands of an expert, to represent auy desired pattern. The water being previously well shaken so as to spread the mass and giveit uniform thickness. The slabs are then care fully dipped; the mineral coating on tho sur face readily adheres to the slate, is soon ab sorbed. and becomes, as it were, a component part thereof. After this process tho sheets are taken and thoroughly baked, then varnished, and finally polished. The marbleized coating thus obtained is so thin as to be scarcely trace able when viewed laterally, yet it is said to_be powerful enough to recist exposure, and is im pervious to stains from oils, acids, coal gas, smoke, etc. Some of the more elaborate patterns are mar- bleized entirely by hand, and require a skillful artist to perfect the design. The base of mine ral paint is applied by hand, and the reining is traced directly upon the slate, after which it is baked, (heated to about 1.50 degrees,) vamisted and polished as before stated. The imitations and polish are so perfect as to deceive the eye of any bnt an expert. Many of toe snecimens exhibited us were artistically mar bleized to imitate the most expensive and de sirable varieties of Egyptian, black and gold, Spanish, Galiway, Green, Btocajello, .Sienna, Lisbon, Porphyry, Jasper, Agate, Mosaic, Terd Antique and all toe rare marbles of either for eign or American production. Any species can bo imitated except toe pure white. The re semblance is certainly wonderful, and the many advantages possessed by marbleized date, and its comparative cheapness, will give it con siderable demand when it is fairly introduced throughout the country. A sojourn in this section of toe country im plies, as a matter of course, a visit to the fa mous “Healing Springs” and a partaking of the waters thereof. Theso springs are located * toe village, near the banks of the river, and o our daily health-seeking visits thereto, we have remarked a wonderful faith, on toe part of the public, in toe curative virtues of the waters. This faith is further evinced by an unceasing' unabating pilgrimage of the afflicted from au the surrounding country, and even remo.e points who comeat this, and all seasons,! drink deep and long of the healing waters tna gurgle from six or seven sources within a tew feet of each other. . . The waters of the more prominent springs are a pure, strong chalybeate, and unquestionao^ efficacious in dyspepsia, diseases arising lrem impure blood, constitutions enfeebled by enrom The growing reputation of the Middletown Healing Springs promises for this nowqmety'' lage a future of prosperity, and it will no aoa become, in the course of time, a very pop u and much frequented resort for the afiucteo.
