B., may be recovered with an amendment, lie umendment changes the mode of pro3e- cution of persons charged with having violated tie provisions of the bill, and dispenses with land ted security required by the bill, except ty order of court on the return of a role nisi, iisued at the instance of tbe informer. Mr. Hinton forcibly advocated the amend- cent os tbe ground, that the requisition of the l«id would bo an impediment in the way cf prosecution. Mr. Kuanally opposed the amendment. He prt.'erreJ the bill as reported, and said the cocmittte did not desire to shield wrong deers, tv. to shield the courts from petty suits insti tuted be all classes of persons. Mr. lTojle favored the amendment. Wants to escocrage informers in every way, without amenable restriction. Mr. it.cwn spoko and opposed the amend- vsit. He thought there would be no difficulty iafuling solvent persons to go security on the hod is nr.y meritonoua prosecution. Mr. Hillyer insisted that the practical effect of the bill as ’it stands is to restrict suits so as to prtvtut tbe recovery of property stolen from the State. He reviewed the history of the bill ad said his idea of its necessity he had obtained from bis experience as commissioner to audit Mcastts against tho Western and Atlantic Rail road, and he found ont there what general in* tercet in tbe natter and the widely dis3emi- wted knowledge concerning. Mr. Brown said there was one instance hero ia tbe eiiyof Atlanta which the bill would reach where (be property could not get away, and as f«« that mutter is concerned, on behalf of tb e inttrested in the purchase of the Mitchell properly, ho invites investigation by a commit tee or o’.herwise. Mr. Hillyer averred that the hill had been drawn with no reference to the Mitchell prop erty, and that that had not been thought of until Ike bill bad been committed; that some of the purchasers were among bis best friends, but that could hove no influence upon his action, and they should be made amenable to law as all other persons. Mr. Candler asked if it was possible that no abjection had been made to the bill nntil this discussion had developed tho fact that in its ex ecution it might involve friends and citizens, ind he hoped it would be considered without By bias or prejudice for or against any one. Mr. Nichols called the previous question. The eMi was sustained, and the motion to strike out section ;*:h was lost. Ayes—Messrs.

Mr. Lester states that tho discussion of the bill had taken a course at which ho was much mortified, for it bad been assumed by Senators fiat the bill had been introduced so as to enable is- movers to shield themselves in its execution behind some irresponsible insolvent; whereas the bill bad been introduced solely for the pur pose specified in it, and not to meet any partic ular easel Mr. Hinton offered an amendment to the bill; provides that when the informer is unable to give bond os provided in section 9 th, ho shall be allowed to file his affidavit and procoed as though bond has been given.

House of Eepbesentattves.—Tho nouse met at tho usual hour, was called to order by the Speaker, and opened with prayer by Rev. Mr. Cox. Journal of yesterday read and approved. Clowcr, of Monroe, moved to reconsider the I^age of tho cleetion bill ovep the Govcra- ot's veto.

A resolution, offered by Mr. Fanner, provid es that hereafter this House meet at 3 o’clock F - for reading House bills a second time, ^as agreed to. . Mr. Farmer also offered a resolution instruct- tog the Judiciary Committee to report whetheror not any further legislation is necessary to carry oat tho election for Governor in December next. Mr. McMillan moved to amend by instructing tte committee to onquire whether or not a general law for filling nnexpired terms can be *?i ^ rai ncd, as to cover not only the present, bnt au future cases of vacancies ia the Gubemato- «»1 Chair. The amendment was accepted and wei resolution agreed to. Bho Spalding county contested election case, ™lch was the special order for last Monday, ***.L taken np. Mr. H,u of Moriwether, presented a physi cal 1 ’certificate that Mr. Daniel A. Johnson, j^at^presont holds the seat, is dangerously iU ,Hail said that he offered this certificate, uapiy to explain his absence this morning. * majority of the Judioiary Committee re- poned that the evidence submitted to the Oom- J; ea on Privileges and Elections, to wit the ’‘aence of tho grand jury, which examined V ld w l8 ’ wa3 admissible, tea MaMil lan thought the evidence submit- in not admissible, and read from the Code dspior P<5r ^ f 1113 poaition—he wa3 in favor of taring that there had been no election. Mr. Simmons, of Gwinnett, said that tho majority of the Judioiary Committee held that the section of the Code regnlating the manner of taking testimony, was in conflict with the Constitution, which says that each branch of the General Assembly ia the judge of the quali fication and election returns of its own mem bers—ha thought otherwise and was of opinion that the evidence submitted to tho Committee on Privileges and Elections was inadmissible— and that to hold tho contrary would establish a dangerous precedent. Mr. Russell reviewed the facts of tho caso and contended that the.section oi tho Code was never intended to limit the Legislature in its efforts to develop fraud and the casting of ille gal votes in the election of its members. In this case it was clearly proven that 87 illegal votes were cast, and all of them were for tho present incumbent, except two. Throwing out these illegal votes the contestant had a clear majority. Whether a man be Democrat or Republican, h9 does not want to see him i pon this floor representing a county if he was elected by iUegal votes. Pou was opposed to the adoption of the report of tho committee, and was’in favor of declaring that the present incumbent is entitled to retain his seat Mr. McMillan offered as a substitute for the report of the committee a resolution declaring that there had been no election in Spalding county. Mr. Scott said that at first he was disposed to oppose the claims of the contestant hot upon more reflection and an examination of the law he became convinced that his claims were well founded. Under tho statute taken in connec tion with the Constitution there can be no donbt but that the evidence taken wa3 clearly admissible. Mr. Netherland thought that, even after a member had received a certificate from the Governor, this House is not estopped from re opening the whole case and fully investigate aU facts connected with the election of a mem ber. Mr. Pierce said that the Committee on Privi leges and Elections, composed of members of both parties, made thi3 report nnanimously after mature investigation. Ono or the other of these parties was elected, and there was no evidence before the committee to warrant the declaration by this House that there had been no election. Mr. Hudson called the previous question. The call was sustained. Mr. McMillan’s resolution declaring a vacan cy, was lost. The_ motion to adopt the report of the committee, declaring David H. Johnson, th9 oontestant, entitled to tbe seat, was put The yeas and nays were put with the follow ing result: Yeas 97; nays 33. Mr. Hoge gave notice that he would move a reconsideration to-morrow. Mr. McWhorter said that the House had do cided that Mr. David H. Johnssn was a mem ber, and that action could not be gone behind. Mr. Johnson was then sworn in. The substitute reported by the Finance Com mittee for the bill to change the per diem of officers and members of the General Assembly was taken np. This substitute fixes the pay of President of the Senate and Speaker of Qonso at $10 per day, and of members and Senators at $7 per day, with $5 for every twenty miles as mileage. On this substitute tho House went into Committee of the Whole, Mr. McMillan in the Chair. The committee rose and reported that no conclusion had been come to. A motion to go again into Committee of the Whole was lost. Mr. Snead made the point of order that no member can vote on this qnestion because of their interest in it. This point was not ruled on because it would dispose cf a bill which the Honse was considering. Leave of absence was granted to Messrs. Sellers, Hooks, Collins and Harvey. A message from the Governor was received, bnt not read. Pending discussion of the bill to reduce per diem, the House was declared adjourned nntil 3 p. M.

It would open the door to poor men. Tho pro ceeding contemplated by the bill is as old as tbe State and has always worked well. Mr. Smith called the previous qnestion, The motion to reconsider prevailed. Ayes— Messrs.

Savannah, November 23d, 1871, The exhibition is rapidly rising into a really grand display of tho mechanical, manufacturing and agricultural resources of the country. The chief deficiency is to be fonnd in the machinery department, where the entries are not as large as they should be. Messrs. Schofield and John son have, the one, a cotton press^ and the other some of his splendid gins at work, however, and as nsnal, Macon will be prominent in the premium list. Tho celebrated Traction Ma chine or wood carriage, also is made to roll sno- cessfolly over the soft grounds, and certainly can get along, if it be not paying too dear for snch locomotion. The trouble is to keep replenished tho large supply of fuernecessary to propel it. 1IANUFAOTUBES AND FANOT ARTICLES. This hall presents an imposing and magnifi cent appearance. The display is much larger and more elegant thsn at Macon, and the several stands of the various merchants are arranged with faultless taste and to the beat advantage. Messrs. Lathrop & Co., Frank & Einstein, DeWitt & Morgan, Orf & Watkins, Eckmon & Einstein, Madame Gradot, and others, had all brilliant and costly specimens of their several wares on exhibition, giving the look of an East ern bazaar to the apartment. The jewelry and silver goods of Mr. 8. P. Hamilton were gorgeous in the extreme, and ono of the most attractive features of the exhi bition. So likewise of the hardware stand of Palmer & Dippish, the grouping of whose arti cles was most ingeniously arranged, while their tools shone liks burnished silver. In the furniture department we were specially struck with the elegant display made by Mr. A. J. Miller, who owns one of the largest establishments in the State. Specimens of tin ware by Carmack & Hopkins, Savannah soap from the factory of B. Calm, fancy groceries from the Btore of A & L. Freiden- bnrg, of twelve varieties of fresh crackers baked by J. H. Rowe, of this city. Horsfield’s famous bread preparation shown by Mr. G. W. Potter for the proprietors, Wilson, Lockwood & Everett, together with a multitude of beauti ful pieces of needle work, embroidery, and other articles of taste and “vertue,” adorned the walls and shelves of the ample apartment. Prominent among |them also, are the exquisite wax dolls made by Mrs. Stibbs, of Savannah, and which have never been surpassed for delioacy and beauty by any Parisian manufac ture. The Art Gallery, too, is very extensive, and besides embracing many paintings from the pencils of rnatnre artists, soma of them pos sessing rare merit embraced a magnificent col lection of masterpieces executed by the old masters, and drawn from the private galleries of the city. Many hours could bo agreeably spent in examining and studying this branch of the Exposition alone. LIQUORS. These were under ths direction of Judge William Schley, and presented a tempting array of wines of home manufacture, brandies distilled from various fruits, cordials, etc., which e’re long promises to make ns independ ent of the vintages of “vine clad Prance.,’ STOCK. The display of horses is not large, though several of fine blood and splendid appearance arc to be seen. Here too, Clay, of Macon, competes with his magnificent span of bnggy steeds, and proposes again to rafflo away Grey Eagle, and may hap, if the Stars befriend him, urn him back again. Quite a number of blooded bulls and milch cows occupy the stalls which are conveniently arranged. One of the latter, is the best milk producer we ever saw ; actually yielding thirty quarts of the grateful fluid per diem. Some noble speoimens of fat bogs, sows and pigs, are also on hand. THE SIDE SHOWS. The name of these is legion, and no art known to tho gamblers, merry Andrew, or vendor of unheard of nostrums and rare inventions, tf> delude and hnmbng the crednlon3 multitude, is without a representative here. It is both edifying and amusing to witness the tricks of-these slight of hand gentry who live by their wits. Many a lackless green horn will go home with empty pockets, sadder if not wiser men. One of these minor exhibitions drew a large audience, numbering some of onr first citizens. The programme embraced a half score of Indians in native costume, who danced war dances and sang the songs of their tribe, afid elicited no little attention. The veritable Pnnch and Judy, so popular at English and Irish fairs were here in full feather, and as usual, pro voked the mo3t nproarous merriment. A jug gler who performed unparalled feats,and thrnst a knifo through his arm exhibiting the bleeding member to the andience, also astonished every one. THE TOURNAMENT OF THE SABBE CLUB was, however, the popular exercise of tho day. Some thirty Knights entered tho lists, and at sound of bugle each in his turn went through the sword exereise at fnll speed, catting at the head and thrusting at the ring with broad sword as he ran. Many of tbe riders acquitted them selves handsomely, and all displayed fine horse; manship, and bore themselves gallantly in the struggle. The first prize, a splendid watch, was awarded to Mr. Flnker, of Sandersville, tho seoond to Mr. Tilton, the third to General R. A. Anderson, and the fourth to Mr. H. L. Stibbs, of Savannah. THS CBOVTD. In point of numbers, the exposition to-day has been a signal success. Not less than 12,000 persons were present, and some estimate it as high 03 15,000. Indeed all business has boen suspended, and the day has been given np to pleasure and enjoyment. All Savannah turned ont to grace the occasion. THE PRESS GANG are here in ’fnll strength and have received many attentions and courtesies from the officers of the Association, and their brethren of the city journals. An Editor's room and refresh ments were ever at their disposal. The exhi bition is now under fall headway and is quite creditable in every respect. To-night a grand ball will come off in the vast ware honse of the Central Railroad, and no pains or expense have been spared to make it a magnificent affair. v POLITICAL. The overriding of Conley’s veto, and the order for a new eleotion for Governor, are the prominent topics of the honr. All agree that a successor to Bnllock should be chosen at the earliest moment, in accordance with the ruling of the Constitution, bnt it is a subject of gen eral regret that the Convention had not been ordered to assemble in Macon. That body should come fresh from the bosom of the peo ple, and ought to have been preserved from any contact with Atlanta rings and the cornpt influences of the capital. Colonel Fielder has many friends in sonth- ern Georgia, and the name of Colonel John Screveh is also suggested as the nominee. Both are good and trae men, and the State would be safo under the administration of either. H. H. J. Adjournment of Bibb Superior Court Sentences Pronounced.—His Honor Judge O. B. Cole pronounced the following sentences in eases of oonvictions at the session of the Court, whioh closed yesterday, to be resumed ou the second Monday in January next. Amos Gordon, convicted of an assault with intent to rape, was sentenced to twenty years imprisonment in the penitentiary. His coun sel, Col. J. H. Blount, made an earnest and commendable effort to procure a new trial, which was refaaed. The case will likely go to the Supreme Court. William Cox pleaded gnilty to burglary in the daytime, and was sentenced to five years in penitentiary. Stephen Goolsby, a little colored “enss, well known to the officers of the law in his bailiwick, was sentenced to six months impris onment in the common jail. In view of his ex treme youth, and of the bad influences to whioh he has been exposed, an effort was made to relieve “Steve,” provided, he conld bp ap prenticed to some ono, as it is supposed ho has merit in him if it can only be developed. Sandy Bartlett was acquitted of the charge of the murder of an unknown person at the hospital in this city last spring. He was zeal- onrly, ably and gratuitously defended by Cap tain George T. Bartlett, of Jasper connty, who attended onr conrt for that purpose. In his trial and its resnlt, is to be found a vindication of the trnth, that the colored man’s best friend is his former master. We know of no instanoe where like services have .been withheld when ever they have been required. Although the taxes of Sonth Carolina have been raised under carpet-bag rale from $400,- 000 a year to more than fonr times that amount; though the adventurers in the plundering ring who have had the handling of the State funds have suddenly risen from poverty to great wealth, there is not a dollar at this time in the State Treasury. The State officers have robbed the treasury so freely that they are no longer able to provide for the ordinary expenses of the Government Under these circnmstances notice has been given that the taxes for 1871, due in 1872, must be paid before the 15th of January next, thus requiring this outraged people to pay within twelve months and fourteen days the taxes for two whole years, amounting to $4,095,047. On Hie Right Tracks The following resolntion was offered in the House on Thursday, by Capt Bacon, of this coanty, and was made tho special order for Monday. Wo hope to see it pass so quickly as to make the heads of “all whom it may con cern,” swim. Whereas, the Constitution of the State of Georgia provides that “the General Assembly shall pass no law making the State a stock holder in any corporate company; nor shall the credit of the State be granted or loaned to any company without a provision that the whole property of the company shall be bound for the seenrity of the State prior to any other debt or lien, except to laborers; nor to any company in which there is not already an equal amount in vested by private persons; nor for any other object than a work of publio improvement!” And, whereas, it is the duty of all persons ptuchtsiag tho bonds and securities of the State to inform themselves as to the law nnder which said bonds and seenrities are issued. Be it, therefore, Resolved by the the Senate and Honse of Representative of the State of Georgia in Gen eral Assembly met, That in cases where the credit of the State has been loaned to any oompany in disregard of said provision of the Constitution, and in violation of the same, whether by issuing to said oompany the bonds of the State, or by plaoiog the indorsement of the State npon the bonds of said company, said bonds and indorements of the State so issued and made in violation of the law, are ) without binding force and effect npon the State, 1 and are null and void. Abbest Decat.—When a plant oratree begins to decay i/mnst needs die. It cannot he revitalized. But it is not so with human brings. A human rain can be repaired, strengthened, restored, though a brown leaf or a withered blade of grass can never be made green again. In the autumn of life, or even in its winter, when nature seems to he giving way nnder the pressure of years, it is still possible to retard the progress of decay, and to lend to age more than its wonted vigor. As a moans of pro moting this object, Hoatetter’a Stomach Bitters is unquestionably the most potent of all roetorativee. It will not mako the old yonng, bnt it willprevont, lessen, or sooth the infirmities which are tho ueual acccmpan’mcnta of the decline of life. For debil- ty and a lack of nervous power, from whatever cause arising, it is the medicine that of all others before the world, bostdeserves the name of a spe cific. In purity, in invigorating properties, in its adaptation to'weak stomachs and feeble organiza tions, it has no competitor among the tonics of tho pharmacopoeia, nor among proprietory remedies. Besides it strengthening principle, it possesses alter ative and regulating properties of the highest order, and as anti-bilious medicine is far preferable to any of the preparations containing mercury. Time has shown that for physical decay, nervous debility, dyspepsia, bilious disorders, and intermittent fever, Hoatetter’a Bitters is a remedy without a rival. This is the season of the fall of the leaf; let it remind the old, the feeble, the sickly, to invigorate and reg ulate their systems with this great vegetable tonic and alterative. Eubefsia.—The only reliable treatment for dys pepsia, (which includes indigestion in all its forms,) is the use of a good tonic stimulant. Snch is Dr. Gottlieb Fisoh’a Bitters. This preparation ought always to be taken along with food. So taken, its use is never followed by reaction. On the contrary, the invigorating influence which it exerts over tho nervous system, is decidedly boneficial. In dyspep sia, it is chiolly npon the sympathetic nerves that ths etimnlating qualities of the bitters are bronght to bear, (those nerves regulate the functions of the digeetivo system ) The flow of tho gastric jnico, and of tho other aUment&tive fluids is thus in creased ; and in like proportion is increased the amount of blood which is thrown into tho general circulation. In tins manner, dyspepsia is perma nently remedied, and the system at large is invigora ted and bnilt np—the bitters accomplishing this sim ply by enabling the organism to extract ont of food the noniBhment that food contains! This subject continued next week nnder “The Batcher the best Doctor.” SAYANNAH CARDS. LIBERAL CASH ADVANCES —ON— COTTON. GROOVER, STUBBS & CO. Savannah, Ga.
