'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 row. Geoeoia. Atiasta, May 3.—The Senate journal of yester day was read and approved. The Chair announced the unfinished business of yesterday in order. Hungerford continued his (history of Harris’ railroading experience, and urged 'the passage of his resolution. Senate adjourned.

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. -Canby baa issued an order relinquishing command of tho Department-of Virginia, and orders Ms sub- bordinates to reportto General DcDowell, command ing the department cf the East The District Attorney GeneralsMp of Virginia is at tbe disposal of ex-Govemor Wells. San Comingo votes 15,000, and only one hundred and ten against the annexation. At toe October term of the United States Supreme Court, the case of .Knox vs. Lee, will como up for reargument. It is a cneation of sequesteriation under too Confederate law, and in the decision of Jngde Davis, of Texas, he charged the jury that payment can be mado in legal tender notes of tho United States. 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. The pnblic debt statement for April shows a total debt of $2,651,133,484 72; Amount in Treasury 233,329,150 37.; debt, less amount in Treasury, 82,- 420,864,334.35.; decrease of public debt during the month, 811,607^93 39.

Tbe Committeo on Credentials, of too American Medical Society which assembles here to-morrow, at a preliminary meeting to-night ruled out the cre dentials of about twenty-five delegates from too medical societies and colleges of this District, on toe ground that they had consulted with colored physicians.

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.

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 raised there, for toe sufferers here. FROM ATLANTA. Atlanta, May 4.—Both Houses met at 10 o’clock.
