AftAXTA, May 2d.—Senate—Conley caltedEpeer
'to the chair and took his seat on the'.fioor.
'President Speer announced HungerTord’a enb-
wtitute in order. Hungerford lmd 'the floor. He
'Cesired Brock’s original resolution. His substitute
■was read and he then remarked that he had beet
approached by Senators, since fcis speech on Satur
day, and told that if bo would-stop disclosures Ussy
would vote down Brock’s resolrtion and hisAtib-
etitute; if not, they would vote for Brock’s resolu
tion. But he could not bo bribed frtmi duty, and
wanted a clean ewcep. He said employees rff the
State Road, who were blood relations arid’incom
petent, had to employ aids who received in equal
salary. That was tho way' some of tho 1 monthly
earnings went ^ and Legislators, on account of blood
relations, forced tbo -Superintendent to ‘pay these
men. In this way they wanted to put Hungerford
out and get bis place and appointments in Mb gift,
becau-e ha would not appoint incompetent blood re
lations.
A message from tho Honse announced the con
currence with the Senate resolution, as to tho pay
of members, officers; etc.
Mr. Hungerford continued his remarks till one
o'clock, and tho Senate adjourned till to-morrow.
1 Eocse—Bryant having llie fioor on adjourn
ment Saturday, on a motion to'ccncnr in the action
of the Sonato, on -the appropriation tax act, etc.,
resumed his argument, and made it a point of order
trader the mlea of tho Honse, that all proceedings,
touching tho appropriation of Roney, must be con
sidered ineonrafittee'of thewhole.
The Speaker ruled the point as not well taken.
Bryant ;proceeded to demonstrate from the jocr-
oals of the House, and messages of Gov. BulleCk.
that Georgia was a'permanent, and not provisional
Government. He read from tho report of the Sen
ate judiciary committee in defense of liia position
He stated the fact, that the act of Congress,« f De
cember 25, I860, did not reqnire Georgia to-ratify
the Fourteenth Amendment, or Legislatnre to give
assent to striking Out relief sections of theConsti-
tntion,>ihns expreedy admitting the validity of the
former action of tins body. Congress did not de
mand, cor expect, toe Legislature to do tois, and
too action ratifying 'the Fourteenth Amendment
and reaffirming its cmont to striking out too relief
■clawea, was done by gag of the previous question
without debate and by threats of military-coercion
Themilit&rv do not require such action. Tho acts
of the Legislature, admitting minority xuen, were
in-defiance of the opinion of tho Attorney General
but it is quoted as too free act of this body. Wo
are told that anless wo do so and so toe military
will interfere. We have nothing to fecr from the
military.
Prico occupied th 8-chair and too Speaker vacated
bis seat for awhile. In toe course at his argu
ment, Bryant proved that tho Legislators was
bound by the Constitution, the government organ
ised under-it and the Governor inaugurated. The
Governor, in his message of 1868 on the expulsion
of colored, members, said be had sworn to support,
protect and defend toe Constitution of-Georgia, and
a duo regard • for Ms official oath, etc. The Gov
ernor,-in Ms last week’s message, made several ap
pointments, signing himself Governor, and when
ever he had any purpose to subserve, ho signs him
self Provisional.
-Caldwell inquired what was the obstruction in tbo
-way of acting on too appropriation act according to
the Constitution.
Bryant asked ifeaembers had read iho appropria
tion act -oM8<3. It appropriated:eartain sums to
toe Marshal, Secretary of the Senate, Clerk of the
Houso and othors. Is the Marshal Secretary of
tho Senate? -No each outrage and robbery as is
contemplated by this act would bo tolerated in any
Northern State. Seventy-five dollars to Taylor, the
•Clerk, should.read, seventy-five dollars to Harris,
tho Tycoon of (Georgia, who with a wavo of his
Load assembled too E[ouse, .or bid it to depart.
The gist of the whole question-is Ahe £2d section of
toe appropriation act. Our masters are anxious to
pass this lovely-section, because it enables toe Gov
ernor to rat toe Treasury; enables Mm to give
mane fees to Democratic lawyers to curse Radical
ism and support the Blodgett-Bollock ring. On
this section the - Governor, according to the Treas
urer^ books, had drawn over &148.C90 in twelve
months, while previous Governors had never drawn
over 65000. Thirteen thousand bad been paid as
fees to Democratio lawyers; five-hundred was paid
to the-editor of a Democratic paper as a retaining
fee, -when it -is said he had not practiced law in
ten years. The Treasurer had refused to pay the
mon^ on the warranto, thus saving the money of
the people. For this reason ho must be got out
of the way. The present measure is not one of the
Republican party, bub one of toe Blodgett ring In
regard to the investigation of the State rood, ho
proposed that tho Democrats select two, the Re
publicans two and tho Speaker one—the Republi
cans not of tho Blodgett ring should select the
committee. A Senator informed him that a Demo
cratic Senator was receiving four hundred dollars
per month team the State road. Blodgett's right
hand man was a Democrat.
Lee interrupted him to know if Bryant thought
turning off Republicans .and placing loyal men
‘boys In blue,” in their places was right.
Bryant replied he had learned that the “boys in
bine” could be as true to Georgia in her hour of
peril, as the “boys In gray.” That he had learned
that native Georgians could .disgrace Georgia ns
fully as ‘‘boys in bine.” (Applause.)
Simms made the point of order that no .paper
could be read without permission of the House.
This was done because Bryant was quoting from
Senator Hungerford’s epoch. Tho speaker referred
to Senator Hungerford’s expose of too State road
management. Speaker McWhorteria not supposed
to know wbti blood relations of members were on
the road. The assistant superintendent was a Dem
ocrat. The State road management cant't be charg
ed on the Republican party. It is a mongrel con
cern. If it was simply a Republican machine any
Democrat could be selected. Why is it that so ma
ny relatives or particular friends of members aro
op the State Road, and why is it that when an im
portant measure ie before this body, tho superin
tendent is on this floor and frequently button-holing
Democratic members, when the election of officers
was ponding ? A member of this body was offered
by the State road authorities a position on tho road
at 81800, if he would vote with them, and his pay
should commence at once. This offer ho spurned.
The son of a member who was employed there, was
discharged because 1ns father voted against the
Bullock ring. ‘
Mr. Caldwell wishod to offer resolutions, but va
rious members tried to get toe floor, when Bryant
offered them himself.
Darnell opposed their reading and the speaker
ruled them out of order.
Bryant wanted tho whitewashing committee and
every one who voted for such committee to be mado
known to toe.people. - . ... ..
Simms renewed his point of order and was sus
tained by the chair.
Bryant replied that he was stating what Himgor-
ford had said. Members might deny that it was
his statement, and say ho wae not good authority,
but ho had the right to nee what ho said. Ho owed
a duty to Georgia far above that he owed to his par.
ty, or himself. Ho spoke as & representative, not
as a partisan.
Caldwell moved to lay tho Senate resolutions on
the table.
The speaker recognized O’Neal as entitled to the
floor.
O’Neal characterized the speech of Bryant as tho
most extraordinary ever listened to. He did not
toink Bryant’s speech had much application to the
subject. He took tho position that Bryant was not
a leader of the Republican party. The constitution
is inactive. Every step taken by tMs body has been
under tho supervision of Gen. Terry.
Bryant.— 1 Tho gentleman says tho act of Congress
of December 22,1869, set aside the Constitution of
Georgia.. Show the law. It is not in tho act
O’Neal—Gen. Terry comes here under General
Grant’s order, as militaiy. commander and Gover
nor of Georgia. O’Neal contended that Goorgia
was a provisional State and the Legislature could
not transaot general legislation. The Fourteenth
Amendment was declated valid before Congress
knew that Georgia had ratified it, That was the
reason the act of December, 1869, did not require
He ratification. The speaker was, at times, inaud-
dfe, that he cannot proceed with his argument when
bo states what he knows’io be utterly false.
The Speaker ruled tho’point as not well taken.
In relation to Senator Hungerford, O’Neal said
he never cried thief ndtil it was proposed to dismiss
him from the road.
Lee o’lied the previous question.
Bryant called for tho yeas and nays. Twenty-four
arose, but the Chair decided there were not a suf
ficient number up.
A vote was than taken with following result: ayes
76; nays S3.
Caldwell .gave notice of moving to reconsider to
morrow.
Lee moved to transmit to the Senate. A vote
was taken and the Chair decided that two-thirds
not voting to transmit, it would not take that di
rection.
Fitepatriek claimed tho attention of tho Speaker,
and give notice that he would move for a reconsid
eration to-morrow.
©n motion, the House adjourned until to-mor

FROM WASHINGTON.
Washington, May 2.—The Supreme Court of the
United States has decided the case of the United
States against Edward Tadelford, on appeal from
the Court of Olaims. The appeal brought before the
court a claim under tho captnred and abandoned
property act of March 12th 18G8, for half the pro
ceeds -paid into tho Treasury of twelve hundred and
ninety-three balee of cotton, captured at Savannah
and turned over toe Treasury agent and sold under
that act Tho court says, in conclusion: “If. fol
lowing that at the time of the seizure of'tho peti
tioner’s property,-ho was purged of whatever offense
against the laws of tho United States ho had com
mitted by the act mentioned in toe findings and re-
leired from any penalty which he might have incur
red, it follows further that it the properly had been
seized beforerthe oath wae taken, tho faith of the
Government was pledged to its restoration upon the
taking of the oath in good faith. Wo cannot doubt
that ihe petitioner’s right to the property in ques
tion at the time of the seizure was perfect, except
against the acts of the military commanders, and
that it. is-made absolutely perfect by pardon, not
withstanding the seizure. But it has been suggest
ed that-the property was captured, in fact, if not
lawfully, and that the proceeds having been paid
into the Treasury of the United States, tho petition
er is without remedy in the Court of Claims, unless
proof isunade that ho gave no aid or comfort to the
rebellion.
Tho-cuggeation is ingenious, but we do not think
it sound. Tbe sufficient answer is that after tbe
pardon no offense connected with tho rebellion can
be imputed to him. It in other respects the peti
tioner made the proof, which under the act enti
tled him to a decree for tho proceeds of his proper
ty, the law makes the proof of pardon a com
plete substitute for proof that he gave no aid or
comfort to tho rebellion. A different construction
-wofild, ae.it seems to us, defeat tho manifest intent
of the proclamation and of the act of Congress,
wMch authorized it. Under the ploclamation and
the act, toe Government became a trustee, holding
tho proceeds of the petitioner’s property for his
benefit:.-and .hawing been fully reimbursed for all
•expenses incurred in that character, leaves nothing
by toe judgment, which simply awards to the peti
tioner that which is Ms own. These views reqnire
the affirmance of tho judgment of the Court ol
Claims and it is accordingly affirmed.

payment can be mado in legal tender notes of tho

The difficulty was upon this Instruction, and the
argument has been ordered because it opens np the
whole question of the constituionality of the legal
tender act of Congress.

of resolutions, adopted by too bar of Richmond, in

The Chief Justice said: We shall feel it our duty
to join in any demonstration of sorrow and re

sideration of tho motion made by 'Gen. Johnson
will adjonm to-morrow until Wednesday, and then

In the United States Circuit Court, the Chief Jus
tice of toe United States, at a meeting of tho Conrt
in response to resolutions from the Richmond Bar
regarding the late calamity, said: Human emotions
are bnt poorly expressed by words. When tho first
vague rumors of tho terrible event in this city,
which has been so fitly named the great calamity,
went through the land a few days ago, all hearts
felt the shock like that of a sudden and awful per
sonal bereavement; then as the tidings came more
distinctly over the wires of the feartel disaster, took
shape and form in the minds of the people,it seem
ed for a time to oppress all hearts like a nightmare,
toe pulses throbbed heavily, and human utterance
failed under the crashing sense of sorrow which per
vaded toe land; bnt soon the currents of feeling
began to flow, and now for many days heart-felt
expressions of condolence and substantial manifes
tations of sympathy have been flowing toward Rich
mond like a great tide, and no right minded and
true hearted man can help feeling tho vast develop
ment of unaffected good will, so devoid of anything
like sectional or party feeling; as one of those
gleams of radiance which in God’s good providence
so often brightens the darkest clouds of human
grief.
When, two days since, we took our seats npon
this Bench, our eyes and hearts alike missed famil
iar faces from the Bar. Let ns thank God that

rowing households, and givo them speedy and com
plete restoration! But there were other members
of tho Bar who will never again join in honorable
contentions. One has gone in the ripened fullness
of honored years; another with the distinctions of
his profession clustering thickly npon him, having
already won these heighths of public estimation
from which the ascent to toe highest seemed easy
and sure; another, younger, yet matnre. treading
with firm steps the upward paths of usefulness and
honor. How terribly does such a calamity as this
rebnke oar vain expectations 1 How impressively
does it admonish every ono of us to look beyond
the shadow of time to tho realities of eternity! It
is said that among those dying, crashed under that
mass of ruins, there were some who could yet ex
change a few faint words with their companions in
that fearful place. None of-them which have been
related by the rescued have impressed mo so much
as that of one mangled and broken sufferer, who
still found strength to exclaim: “Oh, grave, where
is thy victory ? Oh, death, where is thy sting?”
What a triumph was that; what a testimony to the
incomparable worth of Christian faith. So, in toe
vety depth of this awtel distress and
gnisb, open springs of human sympathy
and fountains of subl-'mest heavenly com
fort. Let us take these lessons to our hearts.
This is a day of humiliation and prayer, and the
churches will be filled with worshipers. Lot us car
ry into them not merely toe burden of sorrow, but
also too consolations of faith, ever remembering
that all is of God. If He hut wavo his hands the
rains collect and toe winds blow shrill and loud, till
with a swell of light on sea and land, lo 1 He looks
back from tbe departing cloud. His will be done.
Intelligence was received to-day from Mayor Fox,
of Philadelphia, that additional tends had been
