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 pause in mid career—they falter—they balk— they are speechless—they resort to every tern- We do not believe one word of this story. We have not heard of this sale, and are confident none such' has been made. Boston men are not in the habit of making investments of this char acter. They want to see their money turning quicker than schemes like this promise. 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.

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- Editorial BY SYDNEY BEB8ZBT For the 'lelegraph and Messenger.-] T® New Styles.—The . , late State l?.- 1 who growled about it at first, haa «d , ’ *°4 of. the more approved styles, that 0 f „° v penitent He makes a confession ^ general application, and which coat, h * s » than a kernel of good sense.

The remedy snggested is tho enactment of a general law re quiring an obedience to the State and Federal compacts. There is no talk of expedient here; no shnffling, temporizing suggestions. The case i3 understood and is squarely met. The law in the hands of Grant will be ample. There was no necessity for “mincing mat ters” where all tho radicals were agreed; but take any snbject of tho message upon which they differ and there’s plenty of mincing—the whole document., is wonderfully tender-toed. Georgia has no friends at Court—she is tho rad ical bete noir—she is a bound victim in the hands of Congress and very safe game. What wonder that there was “no mincing.” 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. la ge- Atlanta.—The Constitution, under the head of “ Pay the Preachers,” has this 1 to say: “Judge James Jackson, from' the lay dele gates, read an interesting report on the duty of preachers to engage in no secular triumph, and of the members of thecliurcli toso-sfipport min isters as to make it unnecessary for them to fol low other business than preaching; the gospel.’ - The above paragraph we clip'fbsm the pro? ceedings of the South Georgia Conference,- pub- LoDg and Judgo J.

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 ciling of religions and liberal ideas.

The explosion of a kerosene lamp caused tho fire. Mr. Henry Sanford has given the editor of the Enterprise a half-bushel of red yam potatoes which weighed thirty-five pounds. Savannah.—We find nothing of interest in tlie local columns of our coast cotemporarios. The News calls attention to the following, from the Journal of Commerce, which will be under stood and appreciated by all cotton holders: Money Market, Saturday, December 4. Our friend, the “Cotton Merchant,” need not blame the Journal of commerce, nor even tho Associated Press for the sensation created in the cotton market yesterday. The history of that affair seems to be as follows: Some bear in cot ton desiring to bring about a panic in the cotton market, entered into collusion with some one in the New York Tribune office, and procured the interpolation among the items of tho Associated Press dispatch in that paper the following para graph : “Reports to the Agricultural Bureau show tha,t the cotton crop for the South for this year is larger than it was at first estimated, and it is now believed the yield will be nearly 3,000,000 hales, most of which is of excellept quality.” and accounts, did not seem in-much demand,, as wo saw some $1,000 or more sold'in a bunch far two dollars. Newton County.—Tho Enterprise says great activity was manifest in the transfer of property in Covington on Tuesday. A- largo- amount of land waa sold at very fair average prices. The aggregate of public auction sales for the day reached tho vory handsome figure of about thir ty thousand dollars, nearly all that sure having [been realized from the sale of real estate. Savannah;—The News says a bold aad, under the circumstances, a very mysterious robbery was perpetrated on. Wednesday night, between nine o’clock r. sc. and throe o’olook a. sl, the office of Messrs. Bothwell and Woodbridge hav ing been entered, their safo opened, and some- seven hundred dollars in currency, together with a number of drafts and bonds, abstracted. Mr. Woodbridge and his partner, Mr. Bothwell, left the office at the usual hour, leaving the book keeper, who dosed np the office, the safe and vault being looked as nsnal. A policeman found the door open about 2 o’clock a. m., and at once sent notice of the faot to Mr. W., who, on ex amining, found both the vault and safo opened and the property above mentioned gone, The Repnblican notes tho sals on Thursday, of thirty-seven fine Kentucky mules and horses at auction, at prices ranging from one hundred and five dollars to one hundred and eighty-eight dollars each- The Advertiser says there were on Thursday evening, at the various Savannah wharves, the largest number of vessels of all descriptions that have before been reported at any one time in that port during the season—a total of eighty- nine vessels loading, discharging and waiting.

Mr. Carter said be would Bead the car and give the Sooiety the drayage. Did he do it ? Not to my knowledge. Mr. Carter did, two days after, send a part of car-load of heavy machinery on ear, by Mr. Davis, the most gen tlemanly Central Railroad employe ih has been my good fortune to meet. He had a dray ticket which I signed. I suppose (not psestume) he (Mr. Carter) got his drayage on it. I sea also in the same communication a letter from Messrs. Crutchfield and Hollingsworth, dray contractors, complaining heavily that I was not at my post after they had got Col. Lewis to send me to fill the place of receiving agent for tho Fair goods. I did not know my young friends had any agency in procaring for me the. situation I held. Thanks, gents, for your kind ness ; but facts are stubborn, things. You say yon had to hnnt me two or three days 4o get your receipts signed. This. I deny. You did, start a dray-load of goods to me which never oame to hand—you, or year agents, delivering the largest part of said dray-loads to parties un known, he taking your duplicate receipt for the same, sending me one barreland one small box. I did refuse to receipt yon for it in full,, and.it waa three days after the Fair before yon got yonr reoeipt; and, gents, yon would not have got it then, if you. had not given me duplicate for it—unbusiness like as it all may be. These are facts which I give to the public through yonr columns. Respectfully, R. Cunningham. A Washington telegram says: “The sodden and unexpected success of Mr. Alexander Del- mar, in completing his purchase of the National Intelligencer, is explained by the fact that the Government of Spain is said to have sent, not long since, one hundred thousand dollars in 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 the future, and may be relied npon as the offioial month-piece of the‘Spanish Government.” Dby Goods.—-Dry goods in New York have declined in prioe in consequence of the decline in gold. Two Parisian ladies, who lately received an invitation to visit Compeicne, supplied them selves before starting with forty dresses.
