distress, and paused until Congress came to its
relief with a law limiting the right of appeal..
The Court then, giving this act of Congress a
retroactive force, dismissed the case.
In the Yerger case it has followed the same
policy. Finding that the Constitution and laws
of the United States will compel them to respect
the rights of the citizen to the habeas corpus, and
therefore that they will be compelled on their
oaths to take issue with the reconstruction acts
of Congress which deny this right, they again

As to the statement that negroes can’t buy
land in any part of Georgia—we mean negroes
with the cash—it is false. We don’t suppose
land-owners will credit a negro who is simply
tired of hiring out as a laborer and wants to set
up for himself; but if he has the money, and
of good character, and not likely to imperil the
peace of a neighborhood, he can buy just much
as he can pay for. We have not heard of a sin

Special Correspondence of Telegraph <C Messenger.
Rome, Ga., December 8,18G9.
The annual meoting of the above body com
menced at 9 J o’clock, a. m. Bishop Doggett in
the Chair; A. G. Haygood and John W. Heidt
were elected Secretaries.
The usual routine of business was gone
through with, such as calling the roll, appointing
committees, eto.
Only one preacher died daring the year, out
of about one hundred and fifty.
Among the regular traveling preachers of this
Conference, I find Gen. O. A. Evans, who dis
tinguished himself as a gallant officer of the
Confederate army. He has laid away his sword
and is now a minister of peace.
Dr. A. T. Mann, for many years a member of
the old Georgia Conference, but more recently
a member of the Memphis Conference, has just
returned, and is again a member of this body.
He is one of tbe oldest and most popnlar of onr
ministers, and his return to Georgia gives great
pleasure to his old friends.
I have never looked on a more genial, deter
set of preachers than those of the Northern
Georgia Conference. They are hale, hearty
and good working ministers, and their labors
have been very successful during the past year.
It is refreshing to get with a crowd of these
preachers and hear them compare notes and
crack innocent jokes. Some of their stories of
itinerantlife are thrilling, and in many instances
humorous. Let me. give yon a sample or two.
A good brother, who was a graduate of a col
lege, and believed he onghtto make his sermons
all as if he were preaching to a college audience,
was pnt on a mission, and had for his audience
a colored congregation. He made elaborate
preparation, and after preaching for some time
he asserted that in some points of his sermon
“commentators disagreed with him.” Congrega-

Senator Morton’s Georgia Rill.
Special dirpnteh to the Philadelphia Kvenina Bulletin]
Washington, December 7.—The bill in rela
tion to Georgia, introdneed by Senator Morton
yesterday, meets with tho approval of nearly all
Georgia Republicans in this city, as well as
other Southern politicians. It has been deemed
best, however, to add several important sections
to the measure to render it more effective. _ A
nutnbor of Georgia politicians held a meeting
last night for tho purpose of eliciting an opinion
regarding Mi. Morton’s bill. Mr. M. was pres
ent by invitation, and explained fully his ideas
in regard to the working of his bill should it be
come a law. After an interchange of opinion it
was agreed to amend the bill by providing that
after the Legislature ratifies the Fifteenth
Amendment, the Governor is authorized to or
ganize the militia of the State, and during such
organization, the President be required to furn
ish enough United States troops to preserve
peace in tho State. The bill also invalidates all
iho acts of the old Legislature of a policical
character. As this bill i3 satisfactory to the
Southern Republicans, and likewise meets with
tho President’s approval, an effort will be made
to press the bill through both branches of Con
gress at an early day.
We presume this statement is true, although
wo havo seen it no where elso. But it accords
with Gen. Terry’s suggestions about the em
ployment of military force to put down viola
tions of tho law which exist nowhore else than
in his report, so far as wo can possibly discover.
Gov. Bnlloek, it seems, is anxious to play the
role of Brownlow, in Tennessee, and Scott, in
South Carolina, with his loyal negro melish-
rnb-a-dubblng round the country—despoiling
meat houses, corn cribs, hog lots, and poultry
yards. Well, tee can’t help it; and let Bnlloek
and Congress take all the glory and profit. Be
assured, that however much wo may bo bedevil
led, onr turn will come at last, and therefore bo
patient.

Let us respect the latter, but not as an extin
guisher. The letter kills tho spirit which gives
life.” [Loud applause.] The lecturer con
tinued at length in elucidation of his text.
While he did not speak directly of his relations
toward the Church of Rome, he favored the
idea of an unsectarian Church, and the recon

I did refuse to receipt yon for it in full,, and.it
waa three days after the Fair before yon got

A Washington telegram says: “The sodden
and unexpected success of Mr. Alexander Del-

Government of Spain is said to have sent, not

gold to its minister here, to be used as a fond
for the dissemination of argnments in favor of
its American policy, and that a portion of that
sum was appropriated to tho purchase of an
organ in Washington. The Intelligencer will,
therefore, print al' the latest Spanish news in
