lie unfinished business of yesterday was
taken up: It is a bill to provide a remedy by
which money or property stolen or detained
from the Sia'te, or the W. & A. II. 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. 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

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

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

On this substitute tho House went into

conclusion had been come to.
A motion to go again into Committee of the

their interest in it. This point was not ruled

Mr. Nunnally said he would not vote for a
resolution exempting tho Mitchell property from
the bill,
Mr. Hinton spoke npon the intimation that
the proviso allowing an affidavit to be filed in
stead of a bond, would open tho door to thieves.

dollars per day, and of members at seven.
Mr. Jackson favored redaction to the actual
expenses of members.

Editorial Correspondence.
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.”

Common sense always teaches ns that in order
to digest onr food we must partake of it with a
relish. To relish it, we should see that it is prop

some fruits, and snch grains as make bread. The
host cookery is that which preserves the natural
flavors and jnices. As there is no “good living”
