Now that the great national questions which we have inherited from the time of slavery, and which were protracted for years after the war by the criminal misconduct of the Johnson Ad ministration, have been substantially settled, it is time that the mutual independence of all factions of our common conntry should bo cheerfully acknowledged. It is time that the Southern States, tchieh were the chief sufferers in the admitted anomalies and incongruities of a “reconstruction” tchieh they alone had rend ered necessary, should hear their part in the restoration of good feeling between North and South. The South admits its urgent need of Northern capital and industry, and calls loudly for both. The North is more than willing to do its part, and it will bo conceded by candid Southerners that the great mass of those "Yan kees" who hare taken up their abode in the un reconstructed States are animated by the most cordial good wilt toward tlieir Jormer foes, but present neighbours and friends.

From the following extract from the publish ed report of the debate in the. Honse on the Georgia bill, we see that a Maconian was decor ated with the censure of tho Beast. We sap- pose he referred to our olever young friend of the legal profession, A. O. Bacon, Esq. We beg to offer onr congratulations : Mr. Woodward (Dem., Pa.,) concurred in the views expressed in opposition to the bill. He did not rise, however, to discuss it, bat to have read at the Clerk's desk a letter which he had received from a highly respectable gentleman in Macon, Ga , correcting statements by the gentlemen from Massachusetts (Butler). The letter having been read, Mr. Butler, (Mass.) rose to close the debate, and proceeded to defend and advocate the bilL He remarked that the person whose letter Mr. Woodward had read by the clerk was a pretty person to undertake to advise or lecture the House. He was a rebel named Bacon, a mem ber of the Agricultural State Fair Committee, held recently in Macon, which, had refused to permit the United States flag to be raised over the Fair building, although the building itself belonged to the United States. Mr. Woodward asked Mr. Butler to whom he referred ? Mr. Butler—To the writer of that letter, Mr. Bacon, is he not the same man ? Mr. Woodward—I do not know that he is the same man at all, and I desire to say— Mr. Butler (interruptingly) I did not yield for the gentleman to stato WHAT HE DOSS NOT ENOW, that would take too long.

While Butler was speaking, Bullock and his satellites were busy among the members lobby ing for votes. The question was taken first ox Biogham’s amendment. Butler, seeing defeat inevitable, thought he would delay xt a little by calling the yeas and nays. In the meantime Bullock plyed his vocation, but when the vote was announced it stood—yeas, 114;- nays, 71. The bill, os amended, was finally passod by a vote of 125 to 55.

Tlie Law of Homicide. As defined m the Code of Georgia ; and as ap plied by the Supreme Court. Prepared for the younger members of the Bar, and for stu dent at law. Composed by Wm. M. Reese of Washington, Georgia. ' This is the title of a pamphlet of sixty pages just issued from the press of J W. Burke & Co. from tho pen of the late Judge of the Northers Circuit of Georgia, who has won a distinguished reputation both as a lawyer and a judge. The Law of Homicide is practically more unsettled than any other branch of commercial jurispru dence; and very naturally so,because theanimns, and tha circumstances attending the homicide wholly constitute the legal character of tho act: and these are most commonly investigated and determined under more or less bias of tho judg ment. It is not to be denied that there iss growing latitnde everywhere in tho ini rrpretatioa and administration of the law on this point, and that the area of so-called “justifiable homicide," whatever it may be in theory, is, in fact, con stantly enlarging—much to the hazard of thfl sacred inviolability oi human life which it is the most important office of civil government to protect and maintain. We believe Judge Reese has done the State a service in preparing this elaborate and enlightened exposition of the lav upon this important subject. It is a brief work, bnt remarkably well arranged and clear, and the result of much studious and patient iuTCstige- taon. Bad News. The Cheapest One Yet.—A Boston lobby- man—Stanton, son of the President of the Al abama and Chattanooga railroad—swears the Alabama Legislature is the cheapest one he ever dealt with. Stanton has not struck the Agency yet.—Macon Telegraph. Look ont 1 Stanton will be along in Georgia next. Almost twenty-five miles of this road runs across the corner of the Agency. It is true Alabama has indorsed for these* twenty- five miles equally with the other miles lying in the State, and has also shingled it with a second mortgage to cover the pro rata part of the two millions extra; but that will not prevent Stan ton from coming in under the Georgia-aid law also, and taking on another mortgage at the rate of $12,000 per mile. The Telegraph may rest assured that the Agency will be struck yet. [Montgomery Mail This is bad news. We were in hopes that all the swindling and plandering of Georgia tax' payers would be oonfined to the “inside ring” at Atlanta. But here is a prospect of a heavy raid by outsiders.

In the adoption by the House of the Bing* ham amendment to tho Butler bill, for the ad mission of Georgia into the Union, we see man ifested, for the firet time since the close of tha war, a disposition on the part of that branch of Congress to heed the calls of our people for even-handed justice, and to save the State from that extended Republican rule, which, in tha absence of that timely, and wo may add, sating amendment, would certainly be fastened upon her—not two more years only of that party’* domination in the State, but with that, who can tell how much longer its power might be ex tended, or what other political disasters might not follow these two more years of power? From this, the Bingham amendment, for we be lieve it will pass tbe Senate, has saved the State. Upon this we congratulate the Demccbaot of Georgia. From out of darkness there now come* light.
