CIVIOI.
Through the courtesy of Mr. A. D. Button, the
obliging agent of the New York Daily World, we
are enabled to make a proposition to the public
which will no doubt prove acceptable.
The World is a truly conservative, National pa
per, and has a very extensive circulation in the
North and West. The terms are,
For the Daily $10 00 per year
, “ “ Semi-Weekly, 4 00 “ "
“ “ Weekly, 2 00 “ “
We will send the Federal Union and Weekly
World to one subscriber, one year for $4 50. The
Federal Union and the Semi-Weekly World, one
year for $6 00: the Daily World and Federal
Union, one year for $12 00. By this arrangement
the subscriber gets the two papers at a consider
able discount on the regular prices.
Persons desiring the papers, can address ns.
THE I.EGHLATl RE.
We finish up to-day the proceedings of the late
session, and also publish the balance of the cap
tions of Acts and Resolutions approved by the
Governor.
It may appear to the general reader, after a re
view of the doings of the Legislature, that very
little of importance has been done. This is true,
but the question really was, what not to do, rather
than what to Jo ? Certainly a large amount of
business has been transacted: and whether good
is to come of it. or evil result, time alone can dis*
cover. " .«
In the unsettled condition of the country, and
especially as regards onr domestic affairs, it could
not have been expected of any body of men to
have approximated even perfect legislation. Let
the veil of charity, then, fall upon their short
comings. and the meed of praise be awarded
where deserved.
If one third of the incorporated companies, born
in the last Legislature, shall grow into active and
useful existence, the State will reap a substantial
benefit, and the people become prosperous beyond
the expectation of the most sanguine and hopeful.
Tetter from Han. Joshua Hill.
We have received a pamphlet, being a reply of
Hon. Joshua Hill to a number of gentlemen of
the General Assembly who replied to his speech
at the Capitol, touching the late election of U. S,
Senators. At the close of this letter, Mr. Hill
asks those newspapers which have published the
card of the members of the General Assembly ad
dressed to Mr. Hill, to give his reply an insertion
in their columns. As we have not published the
reply of the members to Mr. Hill, we do not feel
called on to publish the replication of Mr. Hill.
We have refrained, purposely, from entering the
field of contest, on either side, for the very good
reason that we regarded the original speech of
Mr. Hill-in bad taste, and hoped it would have
been permitted to die in peace, and be forgotten.
The replication of Mr. Hill, which h before us,
oiriy convinces us the more, of the wisdom of our
first judgment on the unfortunate address which
he saw proper to make in the Capitol, a day or two
before the election of Senators. VV e drop the sub
ject here, with the simple remark, that our respect
lor Mr. Hill has heretofore prevented us from giv
ing publicity to comments on bis course and con
duct in the Senatorial canvass—eitlrerof our own
or others—but as a public journalist, looking to
tbe early restoration of the South to her rights in
the Union, we are in duty bound to discourage all
things, whether intended or not, that injure our
prospects, and blast the hopes of -the people—in
such light, and in such category, we are compell
ed to regard the letter of Mr. Hill, which we have
read with real sorrow'.
Swish ELM.—A strong minded Jacobiness, bear
ing the name of Mrs. Swishelm is down on An
drew Johnson, for tuining her out ot office. She
accuses him of being particips crimints in the as
sassination of Lincoln, but, lo and behold ! she
never discovered tbe plot until nearly a year after
Lincoln’s death, and only then, after the Presi
dent dismissed her from office! If she had a stout
lord of African descent she would be put to a
better use than working for the government.
In Bad Taste.—It is a habit, and a bad one
too, that some newspapers have of displaying the
names of distinguished men in connection with
those of ladies, between whom there is said to be
an agreement to commit matrimony. Some per
son thus displayed tbe name of Gen. Hood in con
nection with'a lady in Kentucky, and the report
went the rounds of the-papers. Gen. Hood, when
he heard of it, promptly denied its truth, and like
a true gentl'ntHU, expressed much sympathy for
the lady, who was an entire stranger to him, and
whose name had been made the common property
of newsmongers in every part of the country.
Tlic .Situation.
We are hopeful that President Johnson’s sensi
ble views on the State of the Country, have great
ly modified the “notions” of the Radicals, livery
breeze that sweeps to us from the North, brings
tidings of progress in behalf of the President’s
policy. Sumner is somnolent. Stevens is silent.
All things seem to be working together for good
t) them that love the Constitution and the Coun
try. We are more hopeful than we have beoo
since the War closed. Right counsels will yet
prevail. Sectionalism, under the new Era, will
have to hide its diminished head. With these
signs before us. lot Southern men staud firm in
support oi the President’s policy. Let them so de
mean themselves as to increase, not diminish, the
growing strength of the President. With him,
tbe Country is safe: without him,'the Country is
reduced to confusion and chaos. Be patient,- bat
but by all means be prudent. One insignificant
*ct of imprudence on our part, will undo the pa
tient labors of the President for a month. A few
more weeks of quiet submission to fate, and obe
dience to law, will ensure the President’s triumph.
Then be patient—be orderly—be obedient to all
restrictions, Civil and Military, and our suffering
people and Country will soon emerge from tbe
fiery trial, purified personsUj and politically,
THE GOVERNOR'S VETOES.
We publish in our present issue tbe
veto Messages of the Governor, of tbe Stay,
law, and also of the Homestead Bill, and
the Redemption law. His message on
tbe Staylaw, we copied from the Augusta
Constitutionalist, and may contain some
errors. His objections to the Redemption
and Homestead Bill are all in one mes
sage, and as the proof lias been submitted
to the Governor, we presume this is all
correct. The Staylaw was passed over
the Governor’s veto by a Constitutional
majority, and has therefore become a law,
but it is generally believed that it will be
declared unconstitutional by the Courts.
We would advise debtors to make their
own arrangements with their creditors,
and not depend upon this act of tho Leg
islature which will probably be set aside
by the Courts. We have no doubt that
many members of the Ll**?slature voted
for the Homestead Bill conscientiously,
and from a sincere desire to benefit their
constituents. The situation of the coun
try -was such that good men were at a
loss what to do to relieve the people. We
have from the first, believed the Home-
stead Bill was calculated to do evil, and
only evil, and that continually; and in
our opinion, the Governor never did a
more righteous act than when he put his 1
veto upon that law. If it had passed as
it first left the Senate, it' would have
amounted nearly to a general repudiation
of private contracts throughout the State.
It would have destroyed all confidence,
and nearly all sympathy among the peo
ple. It would have been offering a pre
mium to dishonesty, and would have
greatly accelerated the State in hor down
ward progress of demoralization. But
thanks to the firmness and honesty of the
Governor, this downward progress, has for
the time, been arrested, and we may hope |
the State of Georgia will yet redeem her
character for honesty aod morality.
THE FENIAN 310 YE.VUE NT.
We have, heretofore, had very little to say about
the Fenian Organization, for the reason that we
did not believe it would ever attain to tbe huge
proportions of a genuine declaration of war against
tbe kingdom of Great Britaiu. Late intelligence
from the North and Europe, leads us to believe
that the issue is made up, and the trial of strength
will be made
We are with the Fenians in principle, and in
feeling ; but we fear the result. We fear that the
sanguine Irish Americans have begun the work,
before tbe “pitch was hot.” England is a great
power. It has withstood mightier efforts, in the
past, to subdue its power, than tbe present. It
will be successful again, we honestly believe, and
the result will be, that poor Ireland will double
ber miseries and her chains. It would be foolish
to advise a friend or a brother to attempt an im
possibility. We, therefore, while extending our
sympathies to'the Fenians, in all candor, must
say, their chunces of success are as ten to one
against them ; and as ten to one in favor of tbe
still deeper degradation and personal suffering of
the Irish people. We look daily for intelligence
of an invasion of the British territory in North
America, by the Fenians.
The end of the Session.—To many,
the close of the Session of the Legislature
was a great relief. Especially so to Gov.
Jenkins, and the officers of the several
departments of the State Government.
We congratulate these last named gentle
men on the prospect of rest, and bespeak
for all, from the highest to the lowest, a
conscience void of offence, to God or
A Convention of the Peopi.k —
Messrs. Editors : Let ns have a State
Convention of the people of Georgia, to
express their approbation of President
Johnson’s restoration policy. What say

A Covnty Coi’RT.—We publish to day the
County Court Bill which has been approved by
the Governor, and is therefore the law. We are
indebted to Mr. Wellborn’s pamphlet of General
Laws, for a copy of the Act. It is correct, and
therefore this copy should bo preserved.
Mr. Wellborn’s Pamphlet of Public Laws will
be ready for sale, and delivery to subscribers, on
Wednesday next.
New Goods & Old Times have returned, as
any one will be convinced of by stepping in at
Rosenfield’s and Goodman’s store aud examining
their large assortment of Spring and Summer
Goods. They are accommodating gentlemen, and
are never at all put out by waiting on customers,
especially the ladies.
Act* and Kraolutionn.
We continue our publication of Acts and Reso-
lutionsapproved by the Governor. Next week we
will publish the balance. There were some few
acts not signed by tbe Governor, on Saturday
last.
Washington, March 13.—The Senate,
to day, refused to pass tlieCill for the ad
mission of Colorado into the Union.
The House, by a vote of 109 to 39, pass
ed the Seuate hill declaring that all per
sons, white or black, horn in the United
States, to be citizens of the United States,
and that tbe Government should protect
them in their civil rights and furnish the
means for their vindication, nothing, how
ever, in the Act to be construed so as to
effect the laws of any State concerning
therigbtof suffrage.

GOT. JENKINS’ VETOES,
Of a bill to be entitled “An Act to allow
the redemption of real estate sold under
execution within a specified time,’and of
a bill to be entitled “An Act to exempt
from levy and sale certain property of
every debtor in this State, and for oth
er purposes.’
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, )
Milledgeville, March 13, 1866. J
To the Senate :
I regret the necessity of interposing my
dissent to another act of tlie General As
sembly which originated in your body,
and which 1 herewith return,
It is entitled “an aet to allow the re
demption of real estate sold under execu
tion, within a specified time.”
The 1st section provides that the pur
chaser of the property thus sold, shall be
held, and taken as the Trustee of tbe De
fendant in execution, for the space of two
years after the sale.
The 2nd section reserves to the Defen
dant the right to redeem the property at
any time within two years, by paying the
purchase money, with interest at the rate
of ten per cent, per annum.
The 4th section allows any creditor of
the Defendant to raise the bid of. the pur
chaser and take all the right acquired by
him, within sixty days after the public
sale, if not previously redeemed, unless
the purchaser will pay an additional sum
equal to the difference between his bid at
the sale, and the subsequent bid of the
creditor. And this operation may be re
peated any -number of times within the
sixty days.
The 5th section reserves to the Defen
dant the right of occupancy during the
two years, allowed for redemption, with
out paying any consideration therefor, to
any person whomsoever.
Should he redeem at the end of two
years, he pays interest on tho money. But
failing to redeem, he pays nothing ns in
terest—nothing for the use and occupa
tion of the premises.
That it is in the power of I lie General
Assembly to pass such an act, entirely
prospective in its operation, 1 do not ques
tion, however fatal the^legislation might
be to the credit of men having moderate
possessions. But this Act is not so limit
ed in its operation. By its very terms it
will apply “whenever any real estate shall
hereafter be sold, in this State, under any
execution, order or decree of any Court,”
etc.
This clearly includes sales under judg
ments rendered before the passage of this
Act. It modifies the lien of such judg
ments after it was attached to the proper
ty, and is, to that extent, retroactive.—
By section 3499 of the revised Code, judg
ments “bind all the property of the defen
dant, both real and personal, from the
date of such judgments-” The universal
acceptation of this clause is that judgments
bind, not only every article of the defen
dant’s property, but his entire interest in
each article. This is the lien, nothing
less. A sale under it, totally extinguishes
the defendant’s title, as much so as the
most absolute sale he could make in the
absence of any judgment.
The manifest effect of the Act under
consideration is to prevent the sale under
such a judgment of the defendant’s entire
interest in real estate. This it does in
several particulars
1st. It reserves to him the right ef re
demption for two years, thus carving out
of it an equitable interest.
2nd. It reserves to him the right of oc
cupancy against all the world, for two
years rent free, thus carrying out, out of
the entire interest, a legal estate for
years.
3rd. It keeps the Sheriff’s sale open
for sixty days, after tho bidding has com
menced, during all which time he may re
ceive bids.
It surely needs no argument to prove
that property exposed to sale under such
incumbrances wonld yield a much lower
price than if sold free from them. Hence
the conclusion is, that the Act imposing
tbesc^ incumbrances upon a sale under a
judgment, affects injuriously the prior lien
of that judgment, and of course affects in
juriously the right of the plaintiff in exe
cution, in whom that lien had vested be
fore the passage of this Act. This is re
troactive legislation.
If it be asked why the Legislature may
not do this, in the plenitude of their dis
cretion, tbe answer is brief and simple.—
The 14th clause of the 1st article of the
Constitution contains these emphatic
words : “retroactive legislation injuriously
ojfecting any right of the citizen is pro
hibited.” This does not mean laws pun
ishing acts previously committed, such are
called 11 cx post facto" laws, and are also
prohibited by the same clause; but the
object, in extending the prohibition to “re
troactive legislation” was to protect pri
vate rights already- vested.
I also return without approval, because
repugnant to the same clause of the Con
stitution of the State of Georgia, a bill to
be entitled “An Act to exempt from levy
and sale certain property of every debtor
in this State, and for other purposes.”—
This Act, like the other, affects injurious
ly to plaintiffs in execution, the liens of
judgments obtained, before its passage,
upon the exempted property. These liens
are vested rights, as already explained.—
To the extent of such judgments and their
liens, it is retroactive. And therefore, it
is within the prohibition of clause 14 of
the 1st article of the Constitution.
The difference between the two Acts is
only this : The first, herein mentioned, di
vests the lien of judgments previously ob
tained, upon a partial interest, in all the
property of tbe debtor; the second, di-
of his pro
connection,
it is easy enough to perceive how greatly
and bow injuriously the rights of the jug-
ment creditor are affected by this legisla
tion. If the prohibition quoted from the
Constitttion does, not apply to and prevent
such legislation, I greatly fear it will be a
dead letter.
Charles J. Jenkins,
Governor.
The Senate failed to pass the last nam
ed bill over the Governor’s veto, by a
constitutional majority, the yeas being
15, nays 13 ; and consequently it was not
sent to the House. The Senate passed
the first named bill over the Governor’s
vfito, by a constitutional majority, yeas 19,
vests it entirely as to a portion
perty. Taking the two into <
nays 9 ; but the House failed to pass it by
a constitutional majority, the yeas being
64, nays 39. So both bills were lost.

An Act, for the relief of the people of
Georgia, aud to prevent the levy and
sale of property under certain circum
stances, and within a limited period.
(Passed over the Governor’s veto.)
"Whereas, During the late war the State
of Georgia has been overran by the op
posing armies; the accumulated crops
and agricultural stock in a great measure
destroyed ; the Confederate indebtedness
held by the people in exchange for their
products has become useless ; the obli
gations of the State, eagerly sought after
as a safe investment, have bean repudia
ted ; the accumulated capital of nearly a
century, amounting to nearly three hun
dred millions of dollars, has been destroy
ed ; and the prospect of successful agricul
ture, the basis of all value, now depend
ent on the voluntary labor of the freed-
men, is a question of doubt and experi
ment. Therefore—
Section 1. The General Assembly do

of property of defendants in this State,
under any execution founded on any
judgment, order or decree of any court
heretofore or hereafter to be rendered up

red prior to the first of June, 1865, Pro
vided, the said defendant shall pay or
cause to be paid, during each year, one-
fourth part of the amount of principal
aud interest of such execution, or of the
debt or claim on which such execution has
been or may hereafter be.obtained, so that
the entire indebtedness shall be paid in
four years from tbe 1st of January, 1866,
the first installment to be paid by tbe 1st
January, 1867, and the fourth aud last by
the 1st January. 1870.
Sec. 2. Be it further enacted, That this
act shall not apply to executions for costs,
nor to rules against officers for money, nor
to any process issued against persons hold
ing money or effects and bailees, nor to
cases where plantiffs shall make oath that
defendanta have absconded are abscond
ing, or have removed, or are removing
tlieir property, or fraudulently conveying,
secreting, or concealing the same, to
avoid the payment of their just debts,
nor to orders for alimony and fines for
neglect of road duty, or processes issued
by Ordinaries for the support of widows
and orphans.
Sec. 3. Be it further enacted, That all
statutes of limitations relating to liens
affected by this act'shall be suspended du
ring the continuance of the act. _
Sec. 4. Beit further enacted, That any
officer or person violating this act, shall
be guilty of trespass, and liable to the de
fendant in damages, not less than the
judgment, order or decree, upon which
he is proceeding, as in other cays of
trespass.
Sec. 5. Be it further enacted, That any
security upon any debt or demand for
which executions may have been or may
be issued during tbe continuance of this
act, shall have the right, with or without
the consent of the plaintiff, to cause a
levy and sale to be made, whenever the
security shall make oath that the princi
pal defendant has brought himself within
the provisions of the 2d section of this act.
See. 6. Be it further enacted, That
whenever any plantiff or security shall at
tempt to nave an execution levied for any
of the causes in tbe 2d Section, the defend
ant may stay the said execution by filing
with the levying officer his affidavit, deny
ing the existence of said cause, and in
giving bond and security in double the
amount of the execution, conditioned to
pay the plantiff the amount due on said
execution during the four years, as hereto
fore provided for in other cases ; and where
the defendant is unable to give security,
he may make his affidavit of inability, as
provided for in cases of appeal in Section
3543 of the Code of Georgia.
Sec. 7. Be it further enacted. That all
law^ and psrts of laws militating against
this act are hereby repealed.

This valuable MANURE has been before the
agricultural public, under one name, for twelve
years past, and its character for vigor of action
and permanence in effect is well established. Be
fore the war it was introduced to some extent in
the Southern States, and was found to be highly
adapted to
Cotton, Tobacco and all Crops.
And as a perfect substitute for Peruvian Guano,,
(afforded at less than one half the cost,) it has been
adopted by agriculturists of known intelligence
and discrimination. It is warranted- not to ex
haust the soil, but on the contrary permanently ter
improve it. The sales now amount to many
thousand tens annually, and the facilities for its
manufacture are extensive and complete.
Pamphlet describing its distinctive claims may
be had on application to the undersigned agent
of the manufacturers from whom the MANURE
may at all tames be obtained.
Orders should be sent early to J. O. MATHEW-
SON, sole agent, Augusta, Ga.
