S:.«, passed as a substitute for the Senate a »n,l when it gels to the Senate, if not con- ZL» in a t once, it will probably bo referred to iC-ohrenea Committee. So there is but little Lb- that the State will be admitted before the Israment of Congress- The bill as it passed Sut limply declares that, as a legal Legida- m hii ratified in good faith the Fourteenth .. I Fifteenth Amendments to tko Constitution, Iwfote the State is entitled to representation, jr. Farnsworth's amendment provides that the at ihill not be construed to depiive the peo- di,.f Georgia of the right of an election for KBbMsof the General Assembly of said State i-pumiled for in its Constitution. The friends gfttoremor Bullock profess themselves entirely stl-fird with the measure, and it is known that ibe PrMidrnt is anxious that the bill should f* e_ | lair in its present shape. Of the bill the same paper has the following editorial notice: it lut there is a prospect that the tedions Noplieati-'Uflf the Georgia question willspeedi- !t be ended 1-j Congress, and that the conclnd- i$tnik oi xiconstruction will bo performed Ulowthe apiiroaching adjournment. Yester- i»; ibe kuhjtct. was again debated in the House, itl a Mb wig passed by a strong vote declaring that Cnurgia is entitled to representation in OjasTt*! without any restrictions other than wt.ich may bo disposed of by the judicial iitewita'ion of existing lawn The bill also :-resls thi act prohibiting the organization of tbe State militia. The act, as passed, is given te.ibere, and goes to the Senate for concnr- taet. In the interests of the peopleofGeor- fi, u well as of tie Republican party, it is to be hoped that the Senate, will net promptly and funn-bly upon it, and thus remand the State biti ova Constitution and the Courts for a so- ktioo of tho question of its Federal status. Ill action of the Honse yesterday is on ad- ■wion that the State has been improperly de- bard from representation for two years. On the 2.1th of June, 18C8, Georgia was formally Wired to be purged of rebellion, and entitled h representation in Congress, by a bill which ■i vetoed by President Johnson, but pasted irerhisvetoon the samo day. Subsequently fr Representatives elected to the Fortieth Con- P*- were denied their seats, and pending the ■"kmentof the question of eligibility their '■on hire expired, as have also the terms of ae members of the Legislature. Gov. Bullock, lowrer. is in office till Januaay, 1872. If the £3 pus by the House yesterday becomes a law, iquestion will bo raised whether the functions i the officers elected in 18C8 have been in France, or whether a new election must be Sli This can only be decided by the Jndi- and the most generally-recoived opinion •infivorof the new election, fto Tribune says editorially: The Honse has now passed a bill in which the Imgham Amendment, somewhat modified, and Bring the election of a new Legislature to be ®kd according to the existing State Consti- ®i°n, is revived in a shapo to which we trust Senate will find no objection. Let us havo k bill passed, and an end brought to this -'iMesome question, and the present very ob- Btiooable administration of the Georgia State wremment „ , "# ire sore all honest men in Georgia will to* Amen! and Amen! to tho invocation con- •iatd in the last sentence, Jcex the Revesse. — The burthen of the speeches made on Monday night by Jeff Long and Her. T. G. Steward, particularly the former, was to impress upon the minds of tbeir hearers, that it was impossible, as the Courts are now organized in this State, for a negro to get jus tice. Precisely the reverse of this proposition is true. The readers of this paper will bear ns witness that we have, time and gain, alluded to cases that have come under our observation, where negroes have committed felonies which would have Bent a while man to tho peniten tiary for years, and those negroes escaped pun ishment altogther, or what amounted to about the same thiDg, twenty or thirty days' labor on the streets. The fact is, the Courts deal with negro offend ers most leniently, and punish with imprison ment in the penitentiary, only the most noto riously bad and ontrageons villains of that class, who will not abstain from the perpetration of crime one week, as free men. At the present term of the Superior Court, two of the most inveterate, persistent and insatiable negro thieves in Bibb county, were allowed to plead guilty of larceny from the honse, when there was not the shadow of a doubt that they wonld have been convicted of burglary if they went to trial. Both Judge and jury make great allowances for the negroe’s ignorance, his weak ness and poverty when dealing with him as a criminal, and nine-tenths of them escape that punishment they deserve on this score alone. It is true that thtre were three huug in this city, a year ago, for the murder of poor Sheffield, and Jeff Long in alluding to this fact on Mon day night failed, or rather refused to say why they wore hung. A more ungrateful, shameful and atrocious murder was never perpetrated than that upon the person of Jonathan Sheffield. He was cruelly murdered by three burglars, and when in the act of bestowing a favor upon them. In the name of justice and common sense, Jeff, can a negro do nothing to forfeit his Hfe ? Has it come to that pass when a ne gro can ride rough shod over a white man with out danger to himself; and if, in the defence of his life and the honor of bis name and fami ly, as in the Malloy case, a white man takes the life of a negro or anybody else making the as sault, most he suffer death for so doing! That’s not law, Jeff, neither is it justice, and the man is a fool who says so, regardless of “ race, col or, or previous condition of servitude.”. The propositions of both Long and Steward to re-organize a Union League in this city, is not only a threatening demonstration on their part, bat it is wholly unnecessary and injurious to the people of their own color. They say the league should be reorganized as a means of pro tection to tho negro, and for the purpose of raising money to secure justice in the courts. Doth reasons are groundless, not to say false in their implications. ’ Nobody seeks to injure the negro if the negro will behave himself, and cor rupt as some of tho courts of the countryare, we know that if the negroes could pile up gold as high as the stars, it wonld not influence Judge Cole in the administration of law, nor wonld it havo bought a verdict of gniltyin the Malloy case. 'When a negro makes a violent assault upon a white man—threteniog his life and the lives of his wife and children, he may expect to be killed, and nothing short of a Radical jndgo an 1 jury will punish the slayer; but the laws of the State nor money will inflict punishment. But there is another view of tho meeting on Monday night which should be taken. The ne groes of this city, en masse, were called together by Jeff Long to criticise the action of the courts and denounce juries for rendering certain ver dicts. What does Jeff know of law, or verdicts rendered in accordance therewith, that he should get up and inflame the minds of his deluded followers for hours, and endeavor to make them believe that the hatred of the whites toward them is so strong, that even the solemn obliga tions of a juror’s oath is no check upon that hatred, and .that the negro cannot get jusUce in our courts. Was there ever such impudence ? Or wa3 a lie ever more boldly uttered? P. S.—A telegram of last night exposes the trick for getting the negroes together on Mon- day night to form a Union League, in which everv negro will be sworn to vote the Radical ticket. Under a pretence of denouncing the ac- quital of Hoy and Malloy, Jeff called the meet ing for no other than political purposes whatso ever; but he and his party knew the negroes wonld not turn out to an avowed political gath ering; so they were deceived in the call. Jeff has been ordered to reorganize the Union League in this city, and his solo object on Mon day night was to draw out the negroc3 to hear orders from headquarters. He and a few others like him want to fleece poor Sambo for another nico pile of money and his vote next fall, and this is the 6nm and substance of the whole af fair. Look out, Sambo, a nice trap is set to catch yon. Join Jeff’s Union League, and you can no longer vote as a free man, and yon will have to shell out your hard earned money to pay Jeff for keeping you. L '., From Washington. Washekoton, June 27.—The Revenue to-day over one million and a quarter. The President withdrew Cornell’s nominatina- tion as Assistant Treasurer at New York.

G.- H. PcndletoD, of Ohio, coming forward he was received with tremen dous applause. The subject of the address was the constant, regular, unremitting progress of the human race in everything which tends to its civilization and elevation. That this progress is tho result of tho efforts of individual men. That every human life aids or retards it, and the consequent duty of every man to develop, to tho very largest extent, every capacity of mind, sont and body, that he may contribute his just share to the general advancement of the race. This main idea was enforced by historical illustration, comparisons of the civilization of the world at different epochs and in different countries, and by reference to the face of na tions and individuals. Iu the courso of the ad- diess ho alluded in fitting terms to the founda tion and history of the University, and to the lives and characteristics of its three geeat pat rons, the splendid trinity of Jefferson, Madi- son and Monroe. In the course of his remarks, Mr. Pendleton made the following reference to national affairs: ‘ It is true we are building up States in tho wilds of the Rocky Mountain, with wonderful rapidity. It ia true we-span tho continent with rail and wire, and send our thoughts in an instant across the waters of old ocean itself; it is true wo are advancing with unequalled speed towards the summit of n*. tional power and renown; so much the greater reason why we should not lag behind in the pathway of purely intellectual and literary em inence. So much the greater reason that we should, at all times, remember that the there is something better than national prosperity, something worthier our efforts than physics! honor, or in acccmulated wealth. Let ns find, with hope, an incentive in the fact that the ages of the greatest physical activity have been those of the greatest intellectual impulses.” Mr Pendleton stud the true test of the worth iness of the age is the worthiness of ourselves, which each thinking man should put to himself _ the secresy of his heart-rleaming by expe rience and teaching by example. The address is considered a very eloquent effort and gave great satisfaction to all the hearers, and Mr. Pendleton was frequently interrupted with ap plause during its delivery.

The human stomach is to tbe human system what that elastic piece of metal is to a chro nometer. It influences the action of the other or gans, aad controls, to a certain extent, the whole living machine. The comparison m»y be carried farther, for as tha weakness or other imperfections of the main spring Is indicated on tbe lace of tbe timepiece, so also is the weakness or other disorder of the stomach betrayed by the face of the invalid. The complexion ia sallow or faded, the eyes are de ficient in lustre and intelligence, and there is a worn, anxious expression in the whole countenance which tell as plainly as written words could do, that tho great nourishing organ whose office it is to min ister to tbe wants of the body, and to sustain and renew all its parts, is not performing its doty, it requires renovating and regulating, end to accom plish this end Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters may be truly said to be tbe one thing needful. The broken main spring of a watch may be replaced by a new one, but the stomach can only be repaired and strengthened, and this is one of the objects of the famous -vegetable restorative which for eighteen years has been waging a successful contest with dyspepsia in all climates. As a specific for indiges tion it stands alone. When tho resources of the pharmacopoeia have been exhausted, without, at best, doing more than, mitigating the complaint, a courso of this wholesome and palatable, yet power ful, stomachic effects a perfect and permanent cure. In all cases of dyspepsia the liver is more or less disordered, and upon this important gland, as well as upon the stomach and bowels, tbe Bitter* act with singular distinctness, regulating and reinvlgo- rating every secretive and assimilating organ on which bodily and mental health depend.

A Sensation in the Food Market.—Ne such sen sation has been created in the food market during tho present csntu y, as that occasioned hy tho in troduction of the new staff of ifo (for so it may be justly called) known' as Sea Moss Farine. It is difficult to tell the truth about thia extraordinary article of diet without being suspected of exagger ation. Prepared from a marine plant which grows spontaneously on tbe Irish coast, it is by all odds the cheapest species of sustenance ever offered to the masses; while tho dishes prepared from it can not be excelled, either for nntritious properties, epicuri&n flavor or variety. The Sea Moss Farine Co., 53 Park Place, who own the patent under which it is manufactured, are doing a business'in this new edible equal to that of the most extensive flouring establishments in the country, and are now erecting new mills to supply the ever-increasing demand. From a 25ct. package you can produce sixteen qn&rts of unsurpassable Blanc Mange, Custard. Farina Cream, Jelly or light Puddings. Invalids and convalescents find the dishes made from it more delicious, digestible and restorative than, any dun- ties of the same claes derivable from ordinary gjurces. vfaiw - iss'aij •A* No poisonous drugs in “Barrett's" O' LEPPMAN’3 GREAT GERMAN BIT TERS, an old German Tonic.

In Germany they treat a patient with liver die- ,}££- ease regularly, m though he was violently ill, foe six months, he ia then turned over to the cook with a digestion that is perfect. In tills country, how many suffer from year to year, taking a little blue pill to poison the system now and then, but going on paying no attention to the disease, until they don’t know what it ia to be well, becoming a burden to themselves and a tronblo to all around them. Take Simmons’ Liver Regulator regularly, enjoy health yourself, and give gratification t# those around yon. A spirit of resolution and perseverance ia more dependent on physical composition or muscular and nervous texture, than on argument or self-interest. The action of strong character seems to demand something firm in its corporeal basis, as massive en ergies require for their working, to be on solid foun dations.
