FROM ATLANTA.
Special to the Telegraph and llcsstngcr :
Atlanta, February 14.—Senate—Marion Hen
derson was sworn in as Senator from the Third
District
Speer offered a resolution that both branches of
the General Assembly elect on the 15th United
States Senators.
Candler claimed there was no vacancy existing,
and no law authorizing an election. Such election
was not the voice of the people of Georgia or her
Representatives, but an outrage.
After a stormy debate, the resolution was passed
by a vote of 20 to 12.
During the debate Bradley made a long speech,
saying Congress did not want such an election, but
prefers for Georgia fo remain a territory; that un
der the Code of Georgia colored men had nothing
to expect. It was good enough for white men. but
was one where the negro bad no rights that the
white men were bound to respect He wanted mixed
juries and a military bill allowing all to carry arms.
He favored a mixed militia, as life and property was
not safe in Georgia. Bradley read his telegram to
Grant asking “Should we vote for Senators before
repealing the black Code of Georgia” laid on the
table of each Senator. Grant's reply was “Use your
own discretion—cannot advise yon."
The House swore in Rogers of Union, against
the protest of Scott who claimed the House was
not organized according to law.
Tweedy's resolution to concur with the Senate in
the election of Senators, was adopted.
Scott protested, as the House was illegally organ
ized—as a Register in Bankruptcy had qualified all
the members, while the State law required the quali
fication to be made by a Judge of the Supreme
Court or Superior Court
Tamer opposed an election. He preferred to re
main a Territory. He was afraid action in tbs premi
ses would make the Code of Georgia law, and enable
the Democrats to get possession of the Government.
Rumor has it that Senators will be elected to-mor
row, when the Legislature will take a month's recess.

A circular signed by order of the K. O. L. has

referring to certain objectionable bills now before
that body, the circular concludes as follows :
“Therefore, you are hereby warned that if you aid,
or in any way countenance such financial frauds, or
permit the samo to become laws, thereby doing the
people irreparable injury, in violation of your oaths
of office and in disregard of your conscience, we
will visit upon you swift bnt just punishment. You
have the choice between the honest discharge of
your duties and the winning of onr respect, and
protection on the one hand, and corruption, bribery
and speedy punishment on the other. We know

so will we act.”
The Times, in commenting on this, says: “Noth

circulars. In the darkness of the middle ages they
might have been used as a means of intimidation;

ALABAMA LEGISLATURE.
Montgomery, February 15.—Some days ago the
Governor approved the bill reorganizing th9 Mobile
city government, and appointed the Mayor and Al
dermen. Owing to some tampering with the origi
nal bill, a select committee waa appointed by the Sen
ate to investigate the alleged forgery and interpola
tion, and to-day they reported that the bill engrossed
as an act to reorganize the municipal government of
Mobile and to provide for the election of the officers
thereof, has been fraudulently altered. The altera
tions consists in the addition of tho following words
to section one, namely: Provided this shall not ap
ply to the city tax assessor and city engineer. And
in the erasure in eection 11 of the words tax as
sessor.
The testimony shows that the words “ provided
this shall not apply to the city tax assessor and
city engineer” in section one of the engrossed bill,
and the erasure of the words “ tax assessor" in
section eleven of the same, are not the result of
the action of either branch of the Genera! Assem
bly, but are the resnlt of a fraudulent alteration
made after the third reading of the bill in the House
of Representatatives: and this testimony further
shows that one, at iesst, of the alterations was
known in the Honse of Representatives to one or
more officers thereof, before the bill was returned
to the Senate for concurrence in the amendments
made by the House.
It is now understood that as the bill approved by
the Governor never passed the Legislature, a new-
deal will have to be made. No legislation to-day of
a general character in either house.

Washington, February 14.
The Vice President laid before the Senate this
morning a report from the Secretary of War, en
closing the correspondence between General Sher
man and General Terry, in reference to Georgia
matters, in answer to the recent resolution of the
Senate. The report shows that Gen. Terry was as
signed to dnty as the ContmanJer of the Military
District of Georgia at the request of Gov. Bullock.
Gen. Terry requested the President not to assign
Run to duty there, but the assignment was made,
the President believing that be, Gen. Terry, could
execute the delicate and responsible duties better
than any one else. Gen. Terry was, however, in
structed not to remove any officer, but to let mat
ters continue until a necessity should arise.
Under date of January 2d, Gen. Terry informs
Gen. Sherman that be has become convinced that
bis assignment to the command of that District was
necessary, and that he shoald be clothed with all
the powers given by the Reconstruction Acts. Gem
Terry subsequently inquires if he has the power to
investigate the question of eligibility of the mem
bers of the Legislature, or should the taking of the
oath by them be conclusive. Gen. Sherman an
swered by telegram:
Your dispatch was shown to the President and
Secretary or War. The result is in these words:
“Exercise your own discretion. If a flagrant case
arises when a disqualified person proposes to take
the oath, investigate tho question of legality and
determine, for the time being, this right-”
Gem Terry informs Gem Sherman of his belief
that the Fifteenth Amendment would be adopted;
but expresses hts donbt of the Legislature passing
necessary laws to put down the Ku-klnx, without
purification. Sherman in reply, January 12, says:
“I will sustain you in the exercise of any authority
that wiR maintain, subetantially.good order until the
State of Georgia is recognized by the Executive and
Congress, and some lawful means be found by
which we can defend our friends against the Ku-
kluxbandof assassins.”
Terry informs Sherman that the trouble In the
Legislature arises from the union of a few Repub
licans with the Democrats. Their pretext is, that the
Governor is dishonest and has stolen the funds of
the State. I believe the charges are unfounded
and think they are governed by their notions.—
Sherman informs Terry that the. use of soldiers
should be limited to maintaining peace, and he
(Terry) must be the judge of how far it was wise
or politic to interfere with the component parts of
the Legislature, or with their proposed legislation.
Under date of January 14th, Sherman notifies
shown yonr dispatches fo the Presi
dent. He ears you are acting all right.” Sherman
to Terry, January 22d, says: “Decide all questions
as tht-y arise, and do not depend cn r.s here to de
termine absolutely the questions of doubt; for the
Attorney General thinks yen are the only power
there, other than that reserved to itself by Oou-
gre*-.."

FROM MOBILE.
Mobile. February 15.—The newly appointed May
or. Alderman and Common Council met in the mu
nicipal buildings at 12 o'clock to-day, for the pur
pose of being duly installed into their respective
offices. Mayor Price retained dose possession of
bis sanctum sanctorum, and the Aldermen's cham
ber was appropriated for their proceedings.
Harrington, the new Mayor, having been sworn in
by Judge Elliot, proceeded to administer the oath
to aldermen and councilmen. Farther organization
was prevented by the reception of a special to the
register, which was banded to Harrington. Tho
substance of it was as follows: The Select Commit
tee from whoso hands the Municipal bill of Mobile
was rifled, reported that in conseqnence of the sur
reptitious interlining of the original Municipal bill,
whereby the city engineer and collector are to bs
retained, the Governor has approved the bill which
never passed. Consequently, the original bill is
vitiated, and the Committee will recommend an
election by the people in thirty days. AU parti os
agree that the bill as it now stands is not a law. It
ia reported that Maj. Price will contest the case and
decline vacating hia office, and call upon the people
to support him.
Mobile, February 16.—The contest for the May
oralty is still progressing. Price bolds his seat, and
has no present thought of yielding the office without
a struggle. The municipal buildings are guarded by
half a dozen or more policemen in Price’s interest,
and some forty or more on dnty at the guard-house.
Mayor Price opened Court this morning half an
hour earlier than usual.
Mayor Harrington came into the court room at
9 o'clock, the usual hour, but finding the bench oc
cupied, retire! Meanwhile, Harrington took pos
session of the office of the City Clerk, and signed
licences, permits, etc.
A case will be brought up at Mayor’s Court to
morrow, and it is presumed that Price’s right to ju
risdiction will be disputed, when the matter comes
before him for investigation.
It is reported that Harrington will call on the mil
itary to aid him.

Simmons’ Liver Regulator, the component parte
of which are purely vegetable, and as a medical
agent its healthful effects have made it a general
faTorite. The effect of the medicine on the stomach,
liver and kidneys is prompt and effectual. The pa
tient soon feels as if he had taken a new lease of
life, and is overjoyed to find the depressed feeling
dissipated, the costive habit corrected, and new
streams of health coursing through his frame.
For deranged liver, dyspepsia, diarrbcca, piles,
etc., Simmons' ItiverTlegnlator certainly has no su
perior. It actslikea charm, without debilitating
the system, and without any of the evil effects of
mercury. Made only by J. H. Zeilin & Co. Sold by
all druggists. Price $1.
Salvia's Hois Coloring.—An insuperable objec
tion, to the continued use of most of the Hair
Dyes’ of the shops, is the fact that they cause, in
many instances, serious constitutional effects; as
no lead or eaturnine poisons are used in “Salvia’s
flair Coloringthere is not the slightest danger of
palsy, neuralgia of the scalp and face, cholic, con
stipation, etc.
The eminent chemist has, for many years past,
been endeavoring to create a chemical preparation
that would combine the valuable proprietors of a
harmless, reliable coloring, and at tho same time,
render its use impossible to be detected by the clos
est observation.
By the use of the ordinary Hair Dyes, tho hair
presents a dead appearance, and it is noticed at a
glance that it is dyed.
By using this scientific compound, the coloring of
the hair is so silkfully modified and mellowed as to
defy detection, tints giving to the work an article
that has been long and fruitlessly sought for, and
guaranteed to give entire satisfaction. Perfectly
colorless—no stain to the skin. Be sure and ask
for Salvia's Hair Coloring. febl6-aiwtf.
