Edxtoks Tf.t.fgbaph and Messengeb : Yester* day, by a vote of forty to twelve, the Senate of the United States trampled the Constitution under foot, and added another to its long list of outrages against law and jostioe. The mere question as to whether General Ames should have a seat in the Senate pr not, was one of lit tle moment. As Mr. Edmunds said, speaking for the Republican party, his voteconlddo “no good to ns, and no harm to our enemies.” It is the glaring, flagrant violation of the law of the land, the ignoring of clearly established facts and the overruling of the decision of the ablest and mo3t conscientious of Republican Senators, which give to this case its importance. One result of the proceedings yesterday, it is predicted, will be the disorganization of the Jndioiary Committee. A positive feeling of personal enmity toward certain of its members Notes on the Railway Situation. KCMBES VI. / Editors Telegbaph akd Messengeb : One or two other brief articles will conclude what I have to say on the Railway Situation in Geor gia. The last two numbers, I observe, have not been so generally copied by the press as were those which preceded them. This I re gret, since I write in the interest of the people, and since the two articles in question presented the conclusions to which the previous argument had conducted us. It may be that our people have become inoculated with the virus Of State aid to railroads; that every section of the State has a pet project of its own, and that to carry out these projects, the people have gotten their consent to overthrow the system built up by our fathers, and to enter wildly upon a policy which can end only in tho bankruptcy of the State. If this be the case, then we can understand why our newspapers should close their columns to such views as I have had tho honor, in my recent communications, to present to the people. Permit me to suggest here, Messrs. Editors, that there is reason to fear that our editorial Luke Jerusalem!

We cannot be too as a sort of landmark of the past, a relic of the days when tho Constitution was paramonnt; and as such it is obnoxions in the extreme to those of tho Radical party—and they compose the majority—who are intent on making Con gress supremo, and its will the law of the land. If the committee is allowed to exist at all, such men as Conkling, Carpenter, Edmunds and Trumbull, will be forced to retire from it; and Morton, Drake, Stewart and Thayer, or Sena tors of that stamp, will take their places. Thus wo glide rapidly downward to anarchy and despotism. Facilia descensus Avernif How- rapid the progress has already been a daily ob server from the gallery can readily see. The days of tho Constitution, tho days of an Ameri can Republic, have now imt two representatives in the Senate Chamber—Mr. Garrett Davis, of Kentucky, and Mr. Vickers, of Maryland. Yet when either of these gentlemen take the floor the Radical Senators, regardless of decorum and ignorant of what constitutes good breed ing, either rush en masse from tho chamber, or commence chatting and laughing among them selves. Even Democrats, and Democratic jour nals, are wont to sneer and jeer at these Sena tors of the old regime. They are called old fogies, bores, etc., and a deaf ear is turned: to their pleadings. Why is this ? Not that these gentlemen are lacking in ability. On the contrary, ns an ex pounder of the Constitntion Mr. Davis has no equal in the Sqpate; while in a legal argument, Mr. Vickers has few if any superiors. Let any one turn to the columns of the Globe and read the speeches of these gentlemen, and they will find what I have written more than confirmed. Mr. Davis’ style is fine, nervous and forcible; and beside the rant and rodomontade of such men as Drake, Stewart and many others, it gleams like a diamond in a rubbish heap. It is not the manner, nor the style of Mr. Davis or Mr. Vickers which are so distasteful to Radical Senators. It is the doctrine they preach. No man wbo has made np his mind to commit mur der cares.to look upon the gallows or the grey walls of a prison. So with the Radical Senators who have resolved to ignore the Constitution, and to murder liberty, while the people sleep. They do not care to listen to the recital of the consequences of the crime they contemplate, nor to bear mentioned tho instrument they have so desecrated, and which they propose to still farther desecrate. Hence they hate the defen ders of the Constitution with a discourtesy worthy only of boors. There are none so deaf as those who won’t hear. I foar the action of the Senate yesterday pre sages woe to Georgia. I have never been hope ful as to the adoption of the Bingham amend ment; but I have never been so near to utter despair as after listening to the debate and hearing the vote on the admission of ex-satrap Ames. Who next will aspire to control the af fairs of -Georgia? Congress has taken charge of her internal affairs before, end has her by the throat now. That is bad enough. Bat here come the “Boys in Blue,” the “Grand Army of the Republic,” the white Radicals of Wash ington, and the black Radicals of Washington, aU of whom want to have a finger in the Geor gia pie. Mr. George T. Downing, a mulatto, who dis penses coffee, fish balls and “ cold tea’’ in the xasement of the Capitol, is .among thx latest agitators of “the Georgia question.” How absurd all this would have appeared some years ago. A petty District, unrepresented in Con- careful about tho former; and yet political er rors may be corrected; but for ruined credit and bankruptcy there is no remedy, unless it be the questionable remedy of repudiation. In Alabama, where the Legislature has voted the endorsement of the Stato to almost every en terprise that asked for it, the people are al ready agitating the question of repudiation. In North Carolina, whero a similar policy pre vailed for a time, the following act has been passed: Section 1. The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact, That aU acts framed at the lost session of this Legislature making appro priations to ljiilroad companies, be and the same are hereby repealed; that all bonds of tho State which have been issued under the said acts, now in the hands of any presidents or other officers of the corporations, be immediately re turned to tho treasurer. Sec. 2. That the moneys in tho State Treas ury which were levied and collected nndor tho provisions of the acts mentioned in section 1 of this act are hereby appropriated to the use of the State government, and shall be audited to the counties of the Stato upon Hie tax to be as sessed for the year 1870, in proportion to the amounts collected from them respectively. No one need be surprised if the peoplo of Georgia should follow the example set them by other States. Indeed, some of our thinking men already declare their hostility to the recent railway legislation, and say that our only reme dy is repudiation. It need not be doubted but that a people, who have repudiated their indi vidual liabilities, will bo equally prompt to re lieve themselves of their State obligations. It is no answer to say that the Stato has only endorsed the bonds of certain railway compa nies, ior which she has taken mortgages, and that the debts incurred by the sale of these bonds are not her debts. The man who puts his name to the promissory note of his neighbor as security or endorser, is as much bound in law to pay tho debt a3 the principal maker of tho note; and though ho may enjoy none of the benefits of the transaction, it becomes by oper ation of law as ranch his debt as if he had bor rowed the money himself. His property, as well as his honor, is bound for the payment of the money. If the principal cannot, or will not, discharge the debt, tho security or endorser must do it, and then employ counsel to collect the money out of the principal, if it can be done. • WiU tho railways, whose bonds have been en dorsed by the State, be able to take np these bonds at maturity? Some of them may be, but it is plain enough that most of them will not. And their ability to meet these bonds will be impaired jnst as wo may increase the number of now roads whose bonds may be hereafter en dorsed by the State; since the greater tho num ber of roads among which the railway business of the State is divided, the less remunerative wiU the business which faUs to each one be, and consequently the les3 valuable will be the stock, and the less able the several companies to dis charge their liabilities. When the railroads now contemplated and being built by the aid of the State shaU have been put in operation, there will not be a single road in tho Stato of Georgia that wiU pay its stockholders seven per cent, npon their investments. Ono of the first results of this deplorable stato of things will be this: and from Pulaski, Wilcox and adjoining coun ties, will gradually turn down the Macon and Brunswick road to Savannah and Brans wick; while the trade of Baldwin and Pntnam will eventually be carried ofi to Augusta and Savan nah. These roais give Macon additional cat- lets to the sea, ind unfortunately at the same Reminiscences from Judge Long- street. * ,;a ' QUEEN BESS. j i Fronde’s Estimate of England’*Ntrgih i Sovereign.

The row roads mnst live, so|to speak, as weU as thi Central; and to do this, their charges must be, and Kill be, unless hu man nature has changed greatly, very nearly the same as the present charges' of the Central. But cheap transportation mil take away, as well as bring business. Tie tendency of trade, like „ ,, . ..... r> , that of water, is to the sea. Water never flows ! Here he became acquainted with the Beecher for it ever to successfully compete with the Cen tral for the constantly diminishing amount of cotton that will hereafter be brought to Macon, -when the roads now contemplated and being built by State aid, shall have been constructed. The Central Company is a strong corporation, and is conducted with consummate ability, and it has too much at stoke to permit itself to be outdone by any of its younger rivals. Its busi ness may suffer for a time, but who will be ben- efitted in the end? Not Macon, I lear; for the Brunswick and Albany Road, with its extension to the Chattahoochee, and the Fori Volley and HawkinsvilleRoad, will inflict a thmsand times more injury upon that goodly city, than it coaid ever suffer at tho hands of the Central Road, however administered. Bnt for the policy of State aid, for whicb Macon Iaboredso long, and which was at last successfully inaugurated in the cases of the Macon and Brunswick and tho Macon and Augusta Roads, it is not at all prob able that aid wonld ever have bees granted to the Brunswick and Albany Road, and without, which there was as little prospect that that road* wonld ever have been hnilt The writer of these notes does not reside in Macon; and yet there is no city ia the State in whose prosperity and importance he feels a deeper interest; and so feeling, he has long be lieved that a close union between the Central Railroad Company, the Southwestern Company, the Macon and Western Company, the peoplo of Macon and the people of Columbus, was in dispensable to tho welfare of eac!i and all of these parties. Thi9 union did exist in the earlier days of our railway history, and was productive of the happiest results. . It will be re-established again—not this year, nor perhaps next year; bnt it will be re-established, and that, too, at no distant day. To suppose other wise, i3 to suppose that sensible men and well- managed corporations will continue to war upon each other, to tho rnin of all of them. If the management of either one of these corporations, or the spirit which actuates either cne of these cities, is not snch as tho others canid desire, reason, and argument, nnd time will be found a far cheaper and more efficient means in bring ing abont a change, than a railway war. That this is the wiser policy, will be apparent to any inteUigent person who will reflect how much in jury either one of these parties could do one or aU of the others, if it were to try. Histoeicus.

The deceased was a native of Foxboro’, this State, and settled in Newark in 1815. In 1816 he invented a novel machine for splitting leather, which has been so improved that a hide stay be split into several layers. Another man would have made a fortune from the invention, but Boyden’s restless mind always abandoned a machine as soon as it was a success. The manufacture of “patent leather” was began by him in 1819, and the business which he then started now forms one of the most important of the business enterprises ot Newark. He made the first specimens of malleable iron in 1826, and continued its manufacture until 1831; perfected the first locomotive with a driving rod outside the wheel; invented the steam “cut-off;” produced the first daguerreo- typo in America; assisted Prof. Morse in working out the theory of electric telegraphy; invented the process of making toe zinc known as “spelterdiscovered the method of mak ing Russia sheet-iron. This has always been regarded as one of the most profound seorets of the arts, but Mr. Boyden plodded through it and made a good article of Russia sheet, but at a cost so great that it cannot compete with the imported article. He patented a hat body forming machine, which is now used ex tensively in all hat manufactories in the coun try. In his later years Mr. Boyden gave his attention to agricult ure, and many of the most celebrated, descriptions of strawberries were his. During all nis life this remarkable man, whose inventions have made millions for oth ers, was himself poor, but his poverty was for gotten in his genial spirits and his noble life. Up to the latest days of his existence, the thoughts that had accompanied him from ear ly manhood were still working after further ’ discoveries, his intellect as clear and his spirits as ambitious as ever.

Indeed, a charter has *already been granted for this short road. The aid of the State has also been granted to tho Brunswick and Albany road, and will be asked for the extension of that road to Eufanla, or to Americas and Columbus. This road will do great injury to the Southwestern, the Cen tral, the Macon and Brunswick and the Atlantia and Golf roads, and will take 1 away from Maoon the very cream of its business. Such are some of the fruits which will spring, and which are already springing from the policy of State aid, and from the war that is being made npon the old railway system. Macon has taken the lead in this departure from the policy of our fathers, and I fear it will be the first to experience its evil effects. The Macon and Branswiok road and the Maoon and Augusta road will not increase its business one dollar, but will take many thousands from it.

Bollock’s Friends Think One who has been so privileged as to attend morning mass at the Tuileries in the ftdl even ing dress which custom requires, writes that the door to the chapel is guarded by Cent Gardes, in their uniform of brilliant nltram&rine, and the visitor is ushered into a long, high, narrow, rectangular chapel, having a gallery supported by white marble columns. The high altar ia simple, bnt the walls are covered with large paintings representing events in the lives of the saints. Immediately in front of the altar are arm-chairs with prie-dieus for the Emperor, Empress and Prince ImperiaL Some time after twelve o’clock several gentle men in court costume enter hastily to see that all is in order; the officiating priests walk down the centre aisle from the altar, and station themselves at tho doorway. Presently a load voice cries out “L’Empereur!” Enter a num ber of dignitaries, walking two and two, cham berlains in scarlet, deputies in black and green, Cent Gardes in bine, others in ohocolate colored uniforms, with no end of gold embroidery on their collars and sleeves. Then comes the Em peror in a General’s uniform, having on his arm the Empress. They take holy water from the gold aspersoir held by the priest; and as they walk np the aisle, bowing on both sides, the organ plays a stirring march. The procession is closed by a number of officers of various corps, tho doors are closed, the visitors draw nearer to the altar, and service begins. The music is operatic rather than religions, and the preacher, who begins his sermon by addressing “Sire,” and invokes the Divine blessing on his Imperial listeners “in return for their countless acts of charity, and for all the benefits they have heaped on France,” gets them safely throngh the ser vice by 1 o’clock. A Colored Juror. We have been favored with the photograph of a colored gentleman who was lately drawn on a Southern jury. Being handed the prooess notifying him of the necessity of his attendance at the court house, our friend dropped the agri cultural implement with which he was at toe time peacefully hoeing his employer’s garden, and, not stopping to see more thsn that it was a bailiff presenting him a paper, fled into the house, there to exclaim in : Uie words following: “ Misses, they have tnk me to court. I neber stole anyting in my life. Fo’ God's sake, sen’ for de white folks to save me.” It being ex plained to him that he was required, not as s criminal, but to act as a juror in certain moot cases of life and property then depending, he was with sore difficulty prevailed upon to putin an appearance. Struck with his looks, an ad mirer of the carious wrought with him to sit for his picture, the consideration being the remis sion from the panel to the agricultural imple ment above noted, and in testimony of this con tract having been carried out in all its articles, our friend was, days since, dropped from the jury Ust, and we now have that marvelous simial similitude, Ms photograph.— World. A Remarkable Crime.—They do have remarkable crimes in the North. A dispatch from Troy to the Herald, of Wednesday, says: On Wednesday night of last week Nanning Yanderpeyden, a wealthy farmer, living a mile from tills city, was murdered in his bam about eight o’clock. His son-in-law, E. A. Alexan der, reported that the murderer attacked him, after killing Mr. Yanderpeyden, hit him with an iron pump handle, broke his arm, and also cut him on the head with a knife. Suspicions were aroused that Alexander himSelf aid toe deed, and this afternoon at four o’clock, after writing a complete confession, ho committed suicide by blowing his brains out with a shot gun. His confession states that he meditated murder for a year, and about four weeks ago intended to do it, but the presence of a negro frustrated his design. lie says the Lord prompted him to do it.

As a public speaker she is undoubtedly the ablest that has yet appeared from the ranks of the other sex, and will easily take rank among toe best orators of the day. Although she advocates a public career for such women as are qualified for it, she iB strongly op posed to woman suffrage, and, indeed, to any suffrage except that based npon intelligence and honesty. The warm applause given by a large audience to Miss Edgarton’s expression of her views on this point is significant, in view of the fact that most of those who. were present were avowed friends of tho emancipation of women.
