We propose, to-day, me light upon tlie subject, to ing link in tlie chain, and tide, the horde of mendacious •wlers who are going up and iroclaiming General Blair .sot. We propose to do this, • evidence of a gentleman . ia Georgia, a man sans peter et . ,-x,v.»'7ic, and a soldier of trieil cour spotless repute. 1 ; w v years 1851 and ’52 this gentleman, (tome an officer in the 7tli U. H. in ah:.r\ regiment, was stationed in the city ' ineiseo, California, upon staff chief being General Ethan A. ■?. His quarters were on a street, e of which we do not now reooi ■ i not far from a noted drinking »!

The officer thanked I f*r their kindness to his comrade, 1 equested them to bring him in and him on the bed. They did so, and, q; good night, went their way. The •r, who, up to this time, had not recog * who his insensible guest was. now and, holding it close to ills , - vw for the first time his features. hey vere ttiose of Captain U. H. Grant, the Ith infantry. The man who held 'it# candle and made the discovery was apt:,in W. M. Gardner, of the 7th infant /, afterwards Brigadier Generui in tlie ’oufslerate Btates army, and now living it or near Augusta. The night was passed wit: Grant on the bed, and Gardner ou lt * Tloor, the former never stirring or , ak ig up, so long and deep had been his 'noons. In tlie morning Gen. Gardner . him a clean shirt, told him of the ts of the night before, and started him, penniless anti very sober, off to where v as stationed —somewhere in the iute- j "■ foiled n, v,o‘l till 1854, when, for f ' ' ®*» w ft' ,4ho head of 4is * P - ' * Os ->!,(■ .f b - r ■ ” T ' ** i- ■ « , u i r, tHy'’"' --wen tne otioitanjv ■ '‘irfel—wh think it was Buchanan— StffTor stand a court martial. The el. who was coguizjint of many pre * offences, growing out of this same t, at first was determined to court mai v\ini any how, and without giving him fy alternative, was persuaded by the r )f die officers to allow the alternative resignation. Thus Grant left the army. KVe give the facts just as we gathered in from Gen. Gardner’s own lips, at i liahassee, Florida, in the month of May, 1 .4. He was in command at that point, h \ the writer, just recovering from a • vere illness, was sitting in the office, lifting his decision upon an application t leave of absence. The Wilderness aipaigu had just commenced, and the iiUon of the name of the commander of > Federal army brought out this remin nce. Jow, when our Northern and Western ijpetids are taunted with I’.lair’s reputed fftndne'jis for the "flowing howl,” let them answer with this proof of Grant’s slavery to the same master, and with these facts in reference to his leaving the army. rKonn.it viiit\n-who is kk.simvmim.i; ; Wo have information of very serious .(, plications in the neighboring counties of Twiggs, Pulaski,aud Dooly. Thewhites, by the violent language, the threats and almost nightly assembling of armed ne groes for drill, have been forced to arm . t/iems'ives. The danger of collision in f \ -ises every day, and if something is not me very soon, an outbreak which will • ult in much blood and misery, will surely result. The negroes in those coun ties when interrogated last week—as they were upon several occasions—as to their object and authority for thus banding themselves together with ar ms for drill, all tell th<> same story. They say they have been authorized and advised by Jeff Dong, a mulatto of this place, to do so, and 'that he represents himself as acting under orders from high authority, which higher authority the negroes take to mean Bullock. We believe Long is a member of the Btate Itadical Executive Commit tee, and it may he that this committee is thJ higher authority lie refers to. One tiling i» very certain.it don’t mean auv Democrator Democratic organization. No body here in Georgia, outside the Grant, party, desires, or is chargeable upon any sort of proof, with any design to break the peace. Strangely enough, all the ef forts to disturb it come from the negroes iiml white devils whomakeupthe "peace” party. If Bullock is not 100 much occupied in digging upfossils to putupon the peopleas Judges, and rewarding incompeteucyand ignorance witli places of profit and trust, he might subserve public interests by look ing into these matters. It is to/tin inter est, decidedly. The first iiery breath of such a war as his party friends seem eager to precipitate, will lick up the trumpery concern he calls his Btate Government. And wo are certain that when it has spent its fury, there will be very few, if any, of the men who made it necessary, left in the land, from Bullock down to this pesti lent negro, Long. That point is as good as settled already. __ James on Thaddeus.— Mr. Buchanan aud Thad. Btevens, though living in the same town so long together, never spoke when they met iu the streets. Neverthe less, Mr. Buchanan admitted of his rival, "Thaddeus Btevens has a good head and a good heart, and if it had not pleased Pro vidence to omit the moral part of his na ture, he would have been a great man.” Erom the Atlanta Constitution. GEORGIA LEGISLATURE. SENATE. Monday, August 24, 1868. The Benate met at 10 o’clock, and was opened with prayer by tlie Rev. Mr. Tray wick. The Journal was read and adopted. Mr. MERRILL moved to reconsider so much of the proceedings of Saturday as of th'e las VT gating of Rufus E. Lester, overruled the motion on the ground that Lester had been sworn in. Mr. WINN, a resolution to have two sessions a day—moved rules he suspended to take it up—afternoon session to com mence at 4 o’clock for reading bills 2d and 3d lime-. Adopted. Mr. WELLBORN, Petition of G. S. Roberts and Rebecca Mathews, of tlie county of Union, to he relieved of u bond signed for the appearance of Charles Er win, a discharged Federal soldier, charged with the offence of simple larceny. Re ferred to Committee on Petitions. A bill was read the first time to change the time of holding tlie Buperior Courts for the counties of'Catoosa and Cherokee. A resolution adopted in tlie House was read, authorizing one copy of Irwin’s Code to he furnished to every Judicial of ficer iu this Btate, the same to he furnish ed at the expense of the Btate of Georgia Mr. WINN hoped that the resolution would lie concurred in, and stated tliat it was important for every officer to have a cony, l'lie resolution was adopted. Mr. MERRILL moved that it he trans mitted at once. Mr. CANijLE n moved that the regular order of hn-, i |f ss be suspended to taketyp 1,1 /"w 'BORN Ta bill* entitled “An \ct *■' ‘‘‘ ler and amend section 649 of the <iVre, so fy.r as it relates to the age of per sons subject to work ou public roads.” M r. BU RNB saw no necessiiy for chang ing the Code on the road laws ; roads were in a bad condition and should be worked. Mr. WELLBORN thought, when lie introduced tlie hill, lie saw a necessity, and he thinks so yet. Agreed with Mr. Burns that they are in need of work, and said thin law was made during the war when the young men were in the war. Mr. BURNB, you are mistaken, it was framed since the war Mr. WELLBORN, this makes nodilier ence, there is sufficient force without them to work the road. Mr. WINN thought tliat it is improper to decrease the mirnberof road hands, and that every man who could shoulder a peck of corn should work the road. We slum Id not make innovations on tlie Code. Mr. BROCK moved to postpone the Gill indefinitely. Carried. A bill to incorporate a Fire Company in the city of Macon, to he known as Defi ance Fire Company, No. 5.

Committee recommend that this bill do pass. Adopted. A hill to amend an act entitled an act to fix the time of holding the BuperiorCourt anti to regulate proceedings therein. Re port agreed to and passed. Mr. ADKINS, a bill to encourage loy alty, good order and decency. “Foras much as certain newspapers are disloyal to the Government of the United States, and to tlie Government of the Btate, abounding in vile and slanderous abuse, therefore be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General As sembly met, do enact tliat it hereafter may be lawful for Sheriffs and County officers to publish all legal advertisements and notices in newspapers using respectful language and loyal to the Government,” etc. Mr. HOLCOMBE moved that the bill ot referred to Committee ou Lunatic Asy * **'- v.a.dndeCDJtely postponed. ain e i iaw* or K » ; c;t?i tr.- ; auL— any rate of interest contracted by and be tween parties for money loaned or advan ced shall been forced in the Courts of Law and Equity,” etc. This bill was read tlie third time and on its passage. Mr. BARNEB thought that to prevent exorbitant speculation tliai tlie bill should not be objected to —that it would be for the best interests of the country to authorize tlie collection of as much interest as capi talists could get for their money, and that it would tend to decrease tho rateof inter est rather than to advance it. He advised the passage of the bill. Mr. H IN TON objected to the passage of the hill. Did not think that rnouey deal ers were any more sympathetic in their nature than produce dealers, and it wa*< generally admitted that tlie Bhyloeks know no limit to their demands. Money is only required to be worth so much, and experience lias settled what it'is worth, when we have ascertained its value. Let us keep it at that price, and not authorize extortion. Why is it that we should au thorize a monopoly of a few to tax and goad those who are not as fortunate as themselves. Mr ANDKRBON, I introduced this bill. I My constituency are farmers and lam in favor of the passage of this law for many good reasons. 'Phis law originated with the planters for their benefit. Money is made by speculation to pay as much as seventy-live per cent., because the planter is not able to borrow. They will not loan to him at seven per cent, when they cau sell corn and bacon to them at an enor mous per cent. 'l'he money lenders and bankers do not wish to advance this low. We do not regulate the price of other arti cles, and should not, by our usury laws, regulate the price of money. Mr. CANDLER. Ido not believe that the interests of the country demand that a difference should be made iu the value of money where we do not designate the value of other articles. It has been dem onstrated that win-re this law is different it works well. My objection to the pres ent rate of interest is, that no money can lx- obtained at it. Who will loan money at seven percent, when lie cau get nine per cent, on Government bonds? Money has no intrinsic value; it only represents property, and there is no more reason wiiy you should regulate the price of it than that you should regulate the price of corn. The cry all over the country is, we must have more money. There is plenty of money in this country, hut our homestead laws, your exemption laws, and your usury laws prevent capitalists from help ing the poor. Let money or other articles seek their own value. By speculation you can double and treble your money, no ob jection to this You can hire a iiorse that cost only a hundred dollars for an enor motis rate of interest—yet the usury laws prevent the poor man from borrowing this liundred dollars to purchase the iiorse iiimself. Every man who wishes to get all lie can for his money is not a Bhyloek. This bill only makes a man pay what he agrees to pay. If lie agrees to pay a cer tain sum, the laws of this State make him pay. Men are not forced to borrow it if the rates are exorbitant. Money is worth more in one part of the Btate than in an other, and it is not proper to say that money is worth seven per cent, in llabun and the same in Chatham. Mr. HOLCOMBE. The laws of our country have always regulated the rate of interest. The men who are advising the passage of this law are money loaners. The farmers are not here asking that we make a different law. Money is different from other property, and there are many reasons why we should have a law to regulate its price. We do not wish to pass a law that will authorize men to come to this country with their money and iu a few years own the wliole of our property. I do say that nine out of ten of the money lenders in this country are Bbyiocks. What good do they do for our country? They live in line houses and have tine tenements, hut do they they help a labor ing man? A working man would do bet ter to sit down and go to sleep than to borrow at this rate of interest. Mr. WOOTEN. I think that the pres ent laws should be modified. The laws of the Btate should protect all contracts made in the Btate. It is to the interest of our country that it should do so. A contract made for interest on money is the same as a contract made for a horse or any other property. My, friend, Mr. Holcombe, ob jects to this law, because the Bible pro hibits it. 1 have heard him spoken of very highly since I became acquainted with him, but never heard be was a good Bible man. Tlie New Testament gives a parable of a servant receiving one talent and another two talents, and another three; and tlie one who received Use one buried it, while the others loaned it at usury; for this act he received the con demuu’ion of his master, while the acts of the lati?i wore approved. \ Mr i > N. 7 see no reason why we should make a difference between money and corn or other property. We, as Leg islators, have no right to discriminate. If we regulate the price of money we can do so with any other property. If a man agrees to pay a certain price for money that exceeds the rate established by law, and the borrower takes advantage of it, the community denounces him as a mean man. This demonstrates that it is wrong. Ou motion, leave of absence was granted to Senators Adkins, Jordan and Stringer. Tlie hour of adjournment having arrived the Senate was adjourned till to-morrow morning 10 o’clock. HOUSE OP REPRESENTATIVES. Monday, August 24, 1868.

BIDES ON PASSAGE. On motion of Mr. HOLCOMBE, the Augusta bill was made the special order ; of tlie day for Friday next. On motion of Mr. MERRELL, the Sa vannah Municipal bill was read. Mr. LEBTER offered a substitute to the House bill on tlie same. Mr. MERRELL rose to a point of or der ; tlie bill h ii not been read three times as required by law. The CH Ai R <■•( rruled the motion, a til slati-i! UtaUrbr.i rttt P-mrercii an amend ment to the substitute, requiring four pre cincts for voting, and changing the time from that designated in the bill to the time presort tied in the Code. Mr. ADKINS hoped that the amend ment would receive the calm deliberation i of tlie Benate. Mr. Lester's substitute to the House bill was, on motion, taken up and read by ; sections. Mr. SMITH. This bill would not injure either the black man or the white man. A meeting was recently field in the city of Savannah, irrespective of party, and they recommended the passage of the bill— iu justice to their wishes we should pass it. There can t e no reasonable objection to it. 1 therefore hope that we adopt the substi lute offered by the Senator from the First, which was adopted by the House, and will settle this question to the satisfaction of all. Mr. ADKINS thinks there is a cat in the uieal tub. The fact is gentlemen of the Benate, the officers in the city want to hold over for the l’r<-idenlial election. I want when this election comes on that the city of Savannah should he iu the hands of the proper party. The officers in power now there are hostile to recon struction, let the power go Into the hands of those who are most popular. 1 call on you Senators, as you respect the loyal citizens of Savannah, don't postpone the time of holding this election. The A"u A7 axes are already about there, and some thing must be done. I know the Senator from the Second, (Campbell), is in full sympathy with bis race, and is willing to do anything right for both parties, and that is more than I can say for some of the other race. My reason for voting for this amendment is that it will putthe government of Savan nah in the bauds of th >se who ought to have it, the friends of equal rights and loyal men. The government is now a in ciitiuss. The true people of Bavannah want this election to come off, the oligarchy don’t want it. The CH AI R The Senator will confine himself to the subject before the House. Mr. ADKINS. I will ry and do so. I hope I will be’excused, f conjure you Senators, as you love justice, vote for t is amendment, then everything will be well. Mr. LESTER moved to withdraw his substitute, which was granted—and then moved that the original bill be laid on the table. Mr. Adkins and Campbell objected did not understand these motions. M pW The vote was then taken on ■< st * ;r / motion to lay ou the labUga-uiLi in _n■»j G’ ! the first time. ''■’■ ■■ UNFINISHED nCSINESS. Mr. WOOTEN moved that the amend ment offered by the House to the Senat bill “ authorizing the holding of the »~u perior Courts at the Fall term and to pro videjuries,” etc , he taken up, which was concurred in and tlie amendment adopted. The bill to make legal any rate of inter est agreed upon was then taken up. Mr. WINN having the tloor. If the Bhyloeks loau money at exorbitant rates of interest, how will they recover it? The law now protects a sufficient amount of property, and if you get a judgment what good will it do you? This law will reduce the rate of interest. If a man agrees to pay a certain rateof interest, lie is now morally bound to do so, and we should re quire him to do so by law. Mr. WELBOIiN was opposed to the re peal of the salutary laws that now stand on our Statute hooks. I am opposed to changing the old established customs of our Stale. How does this bill propose to help the people ? If a man borrows money at say twenty-five per cent and purchases goods, he when he sell* bis goods will not only have to make the profit ou his goods, but must also overcome this enormous rate of interest. Can he sell goods us cheap as the man who buys the goods with his own money ? The time of adjournment having arrived the Chair declared the Senate adjourned until four o’clock this afternoon.

WELLBORN, bavinJH. . read the law as it now #tattde.“ vow, does this law need modifying? We are in an impoverished condition, but can we borrow ourselves rich ? Money wi-T"ti%t relieve us if we borrow it, labor will, and the man who this year makes one bushel of corn more than he did last year is rellev , ing the country. The borrower and loaner do not meet equally. Another reason against the bill is that you invite capital ists to come with rnouey, loan it out tu an enormous rate of interest, and when the principal is to he paid it eanuot be met. Money is not property, hut is simply the indicator of the value of property. Money j is not subject to levy and salt*. The pas sage of this bill might benefit some of our j cities, hut will it benefit our whole Btate? 1 The effect of this bill, then will lie to 1 drain the country of money and bring it 'to the cities. We want no foreign capi tal; we want no fictitious property—we have the elements of succe - within our selves. If we were rich w© might make this experiment, hut as wfc are poor we should beware how we hai&lle it. Mr. FAIN, 1 think I have the best in j terest of the Btate at heart,’.as well as tlie ’ gentleman from the 40th, ajnd I think, by advocating this bill, I am benefiting my | Btate. The gentleman asks wlw bring in for eign capital, and why «iies it not now come. 1 tell him that it would come if there was any security fop it. /The poor man cannot he injured by this law—tlie exemption laws of cur State protect him. I have always thought that a man should he permitted to trade iu h(t> own property as he chooses. Money is property. It is what a man owns. Internal improve ments increases the value of our property. Invite capital and our State will helm proved. You areaware you cannot borrow money at seven per cent now. If this hill passes we do not propose to make a man borrow money, hut to put it in his power, when he must have it to be able to get it. Now, he cannot get it. With this law he knows the emergency that prompts him, and when he borrows can make his own contract. Mr. ADKINS, I am in favor of thebill and approve much that lias been said. Money left unrestricted will take its own course, and it will be like grease on wheels, it will move everything forward. Who will be injured ? Tiie man wiio borrows money at a greater rate of interest than the law allows and pleads usury may b 6 benefited by tiie usury laws, but the hon est man who pays wh-H ht contracts to pay is not hurt by this law. Mr. HINTON. This question is one of great importance. The friends of this bill have made their arguments upon the hy pothesis that money stands upon thesame basis as other property. If your premises are wrong, your conclusions must also be wrong. Money is not property. The de fence is this : money, the value of it is es tablished by law, it is one hundred cents in the dollar. In all other species of property the demand and supply regulates the value. Another difference is other species of property wastes, money does not. One hundred dollars is worth as much ten years hence as it is now. A iiorse may be worth one hundred dollars to-day, a year hence he may be wortti more or less. The argument then of the gentleman is incorrect because the pre mises are wrong. Why should we prescribe the rate of per cent. ? The laws are made for the protec tion of the weak ; the strong need no pro tection. Gentlemen say it will develop the resources of tee State. Judge Lump kill gives opposite views, aud I leave it to the to judge who are entitled to most credit. Whoever heard of a man who made loaning money a pro fession that improved the condition of his Btate. A SENATOR. Mr. Peabody. Mr. HINTON. Judge Lumpkin’s views differed with the gentleman. A few profli gate youug men who will have money at any rate, will be able to get it, but will the bone and sinew of our country lie benefit ted by the passage of this law ? A few men whose business it is to lend money will be benefitted by it. We should pass laws for the entire whole. W'ho is clamor ous for the passage of this law ? Ido not now a farmer who is iu favor of this law. Mr. ADKINB. lam one. Mr. HINTON. I am glad to hear the gentleman say ho is a farmer. I have been unable heretofore to tell what he was. The number of farmers are low who advo cate this law*. Men who are in favor of getting every dollar they ean, who are watching for ev him of his [|pi_ilW, ~iu"teui:* i. Tthey out*uuian into The gatmdfiiJrtteMs, Ly loaning him money to bet on, are the ones who stand by offer ing to loan money at 25 per cent, or 50 per cent. —and who now wish us to legalize these acts. This is the class of men you are seeking to protect. If we will untram mel the laws already made ; if your minis terial officers were permitted to carry out the contract already made, and your stay laws and exemption laws, and every other law that prevents the poor man from bor rowing money, were abrogated, then capi tal would come—then our State would im prove. Ido hope that Senators will weigh this question well. Mr. LEBTER moved tosuspend the rules to introduce a resolution to authorize the Governor to receive the surrender of tlie Bank of Savannah. Motion did not pre vail. Mr. BOWERS called for the previous question on the Gili before the house. Mr. ADKINB asked five minutes to answer the argument of Mr. Hinton. The call for the previous question was sustained. The yeas and nays werecailed and the bill lost. Yeas 17, nays 18. Tlie Senate adjourned to meet at four o’clock this afternoon. urn The House met pursuant to adjourn ment, Hon. Mr. McWHORTER m the Chair. The Journal was read and confirmed. Mr. ERWIN moved a reconsideration of ho much of the journal as relates to the relief of Seaborn Montgomery, and oth ers, securities of H. 1,. Tyson. The motion prevailed. Mr. HALL, of Meriwether, a resolution that no new matter Id* presented to the House after Friday next, and that the House hold two sessions per day, the after noon session to b<s devoted to reading bills the second time.

Mr. BRYANT raised the point of order that the majority of the committee were : not ready to make a report, aud tliat a minority report could not be entertained. The CHAIR decided that as a sutficieut time had elapsed for the committee to re port, and the majority had not done so, a report of tiie minority could be enter tained. Mr. RICE appealed from the decision of the < ’hair, when the yeas and nays were ; ordered, resulting as‘follows ; Yeas 102, nays 30. So the Chair was sustained. Mr. SCOTT then presented the follow ing Minority Report of the Committee in Privileges and Elections: We, tiie undersigned, members of the | Committee on Privileges and Elections, to whose consideration was referred a resolu tion of the House to inquire into the eligi bility of F. H. Fyali, a member of this House, from the county of Macon, beg eave to make the following REPORT: 1. Upon an investigation of the ease of saul Fyall, urnl on examination of the evidence, we find that said Fyal! was not, previous to the election of members of the General Assembly, held on the 20th, 21st, 22d and 2:id days of April, 1808, a citizen of Macon county, but a citizen of the county of Bibb, and that said Fyall lias not, since said election, resided in said county of Macon, but in tlie county of Bibb, and that said Fyall is at present a citizen of the county of Bibb, and for the above reasons is not eligible to his seat as a member of tiiis House under the Consti tution of this State. 2. We furthermore find that said F. H. Fyall is a free person of color, and for this reason is not, under the Constitution of this t-date, nor any law thereof, eligible to his seat, upon this floor; and for reasons above stated, the undersigned respectfully recommend that said Fyall be declared ineligible to his seat as a member of this body, and that he be immediately' removed therefrom. In making this report, the undersigned would respectfully submit their reasons for making the same before final action was taken thereon by the Committee ou Privileges and Elections. During tlie first week of the session of this body, the reso lution of this House looking to the eligi bility of said Fyall was referred to the | Committee for their investigation. Effort after effort has been made by the under -1 signed members of said Committee to j bring said investigation to a close and re i port the same to the House. The dispo j sition of a majority of the Committee seems to he to prevent an investigation rather than make one as required by the resolution of this House. Satisfied in our own minds that the matter will never reach a conclusion before the Committee, we deem it but just to ourselves to make this report. All of which is respectfully submitted, Dunlap Scott, T. M. Harkness, John Long, VVm. D. Anderson, P. H. Brassell, W. P. Price. Mr. DUNCAN offered a substitute, which contained, in substance, the same as the minority report, including all color ed members of the House. The substitute was accepted by Mr. Scott. Mr. SCOTT then proceeded to address the House in support of the minority re port, but was interrupted by Mr. BRYANT, who arose to a point of i order, stating that a resolution bad, ou the Ist of July, passed the House settling the eligibility of members, and that this mat ter can not now be entertained. Mr. CALDWELL was always of opin ion that General Meade bad no right to throw the question of eligibility upon the i House. He, for one, did not want the re sponsibility ’ He believed that there were outside influences at work to get that ques tion in here. The SPEAKER ruled that the j>oint taken by the gentleman from Richmond was not well taken. After which lie re quested the Speaker pro ('em. to preside, as he, the Bpeaker, wisned to take a plate of soup [hasty ?] Mr. PRICE, Speaker pro tern., assumed the Chair. Mr. SCOTT’ hoped that lie had yield ed the floor for two 1 ODe would interrupt him again. Iff Mr. DUNCAN desired u> introduce a substitute for the whole. He moved that the majority report of the committee be laid on tlie table. Mr. BRYANT called for the yeas and nays. During the call of the yeas and nays Mr. BETHUNE stated that he did not think the House understood the question. He, as Chairman of the Committee on Privileges aud Elections, only wanted a little time to look into the matter and make a report. [Cries from the Demo cratic side of the House, “ We understand it.” “You only want another mouth.”] The BPEAKER again stated the ques tion and the call proceeded, which result ed : Yeas 82, nays 52. Bo the report was j laid on tiie table. Mr. SCOTT. These parties being ar raigned before this House on tlie question of their eligibility, he raised the point that they should not he allowed to vote on , such question. The BPEAKER ruled that they should not vote. Mr. SCOTT said that this question was one of the most important that ever came before any legislative body iu Anctmca. Mr. BRYANT dP-dred lu apf 'K from *Aei»foefh'uccfr3Bfr hot voting. The SPEAKER ruled that the appeal came too Jate. Mr. SCOTT hoped the appeal would be taken, whereupon Mr. BRYAN T withdrew tlie apjieal. Mr. RAW LB said that when Mr. Bry ant made the appea it became tiie prop erty of tlie House, and could uot be with drawn, except by unanimous permission of tlie same. The question was put on the appeal, upon which the yeas and nays werecailed. The SPEAKER ruled that members involved iu the question should not be allowed to vote. A nieintx-r inquired whether carpet baggers were embraced in the ruling of tin- Chair. The BPEAKER replied, that will de pend entirely upon the color of the carpet bagger. 'Tiie call proceeded aud resulted as fol lows: yeas 90, nays 22. So the decision of the Chair stands a,- the rule of the House. Mr. O’NEAL wanted to know whether the parties whose eligibility was being questioned are to be excluded from voting tn masse t Mr. Scott made tlie point that when three Democrats were arraigned before the House on a question of eligibility, they had been excluded from voting tn masse. He contended that the same ruling should obtaiii in this case. The Bpeaker so ruled. Mr.TURNER thanked God thatlie was a negro. A voice from the ceiling, “I vote yes.” The SPEAKER. A vote from the gal lery eanuot be entertained. On motion the House adjourned, Sir. Scott having the floor. WONDERFUL SPIHITI \L M WIPEST ITIOXS WOMEN REE THEIR !)K\o HI SB AND-. Washington Union, Aug. 19. Quite a large circle of intelligent and philosophical seekers after truth was pres ent, by invitation, at the residence of Mr. Gunnell,to inve-tigate the minutiae to those wonderful demonstrations of spiritual manifestations to he exhiuited by Ma-ter Frankie Gunnell, the extraordinary young medium, whose suddenly developed med iumistic powers are tlie sources of great admiration and amazement, was selected by the spirits, tn exhibit some startling manifestations of extraordinary force. — He was placed in a small eup-board, so small that he was compelled to “double” j liimself up to sit, thecuphoard beforehand | carefully examined and found entirely empty, his bauds were haud-euffed be hind him, the key of the handcuff's put vy <l i the door of the closet three [ calico out. | handcuff feuad tjpou the floor, with et** 3 j key still in the boy’s mouth. His buiTS? ! were again tied behind him, a cotton cord I put around his neck and tied behind his I head in twenty kuots. Entering thecloset ■ a f?aiu, iu a few seconds the door wasopen ; ed, his hands were untied, the knots all untied, and the strings confining his hands had disappeared. These manifesta tions were frequently repeated. Afterwards a cabinet was prepared, the j door of which was perforated with a small ■ opening near the top, about ten by eight | inches in size. Frankie was handcuffed, ] and entered the cabinet, sitting upon a J stool, immediately after the door was j closed, spirit hands appeared at the open j ing, bright lights flashed through it, and once a face appeared thereat for a moment, which was distinctly recognized by one of the ladies present as the face of her hus band. These manifestations (with the exception of the face, which appeared but once) were frequently repeated. One of , the gentlemen present, familiar with the wondrous simulacra produced by chemical ! means, carefully satisfied himself before ; the manifestations commenced, that there were about ihe building no means by : which any of the seeming wonders of the | concave mirror or similar apparatus could j be produced. Iu addition to these mani festations, several of the party were tapped on the hands by spirit hands. The tap was distinctly fed, ami the hands causing the tap distinctly seen at the monied of contact with the mortal hand. It is prop er to state that instantly after each mani festation, the door was opt ned and Frankie I seen seated on the stool handcuffed. The ! hands seen were of various sizes and ouee Ia considerable portion of the wrist and lower arm was seen with the hand. This : precluded any idea of collusion on the part of the handcuffed medium. During the social exercises of the even- j ing, while a lady was seated at the piano, i the spirits impelled Frankie to dance, which lie did in a most masterly manner, executing figures with which in an ordi nary condition he was not acquainted. One of the ladies present distinctly saw I his spiritual partner, and pronounced his { name. ESTIMATE OF THE RICK CROP OF SOUTH C UROLIVU AMI GEORGIA FOR ISB-.

The followiug letter, which has been out of our cofumns for a day or two, we copy from the Staunton Spectator. It is written in reply to one from Hon. A H. H. Stuart: “Daija Courier Office,! “Buffalo, N. Y„ August 10, IS6B. / "Hon. A. HU. Stuart: Dear Sir, —At the request of ex-President Fillmore, who has read me passages from your letter of tire 28th of July, 1 write in response to thfe inquiry, ‘Can you give me any ground of hope for the future ? Will the people of the North rise this fall in the majesty of their strength and hurl the usurpers from the iiigh places which they now degrade ami disgrace ?’ “Having met many of the leading men of the .South at the New York Convention, I can fully appreciate the earnestness of the solicitude expressed in your letter, and should much regret to excite expectations which are not lobe realized, but lain con fident that the result of the fall elections will justify me in saying that there is good ground for hope in the future. In the first place, the Conservatives of the North are united in organization—united upon the declaration of principles adopted at New York, and resolute and enthusiastic in the support of tiie candidates. From the moment of the adjournment of the Con vention every recognized Democrat and the thousands of the old Whig party who are sincerely anti-Radical, were pro nounced for the ticket shadow of turning. A party comprising a majority of the citir.eus of the Union stood s did and determined on the 9th of July. Kvents show a constantly-increasing reac tion against Radicalism and its attendant evils. The masses of the people are weary <»f taxation and misrule; business men are depressed and uneasy; manufacturers o alize very small prolits, which they are compelled to share with the Government; capital, in consequence of the high rate of interest paid by the (lovernment, is lieyond tiie reach of men of enterprise who are seeking fortunes. The laboring classes are without steady employment, and the nom inally high wages they receive is barely suliicieut to provide them the necessaries ot life. They are in favor of one currency for the Government aud the people, the producer and the bondholder, in addi tion to these considerations, thousands of intelligent men are beginning to see that military despotism in the South means oppression in the North, and that the bed of thorns appointed for the punishment of outherners reaches above Mason and Dixon's line. And there are thousands, too, who never voted a Democratic ticket who confess to the injustice of w hile dis- franchisement, and lament the folly aud wickedness ot the congressional schemes of reconstruction. Negro equality is dis tasteful to many who are not prepared tg denounce as unconstitutional and void the Radical programme for carrying a Presi dential election. “There is no enthusiasm for Grant, aud now that abuse of Seymour and lijs ‘Cop perhead friends’ falls flat upon the public ear, the only considerable weapon of con gressional usurpation is the republishing of the utterances of the injudicious southern politicians. There is not an election dis trict in this State, and similar reports come from all parts of the North, in which Re publicans are not coming out boldly for Seymour aud Blair. ‘The beginning of the end’is approaching. We aregaiuing strength every day, and the result is not to be war, but the peaceful victory of the people at the ballot-box, and the reestab lishment of constitutional government over every foot of American soil. The cobhouses of reconstructed Htates will give place to Democratic structures, and then we shall have ‘Peace.’ I do not violate private confidence in saying thstt ex-Presi dent Fillmore and the men who honor him for his patriotism and statesmanship are firm supporters of Horatio Seymour.

From the Janesville (Wis.) Gazette, Augj. IT. On Saturday evening, about 6 o’clock, a most disastrous tornado passed over the towns of La Prairie aud Clinton, in this county. On visiting the scene, yesterday, we learned the following particulars: A few light low clouds were seen flying from a north westerly direction a greater part of the afternoon, no one in that vicinity fearing any danger from t lie storm. At about G o’clock a light cloud was ob served coming from the southeast, moving at a very rapid rate. At the same time a large black cloud passed over the orchard of Mr. Jacob Schencks. It seems that as these two clouds ap proached each other they settled to the earth, a low heavy noise was heard, re sembling the moving of a heavy train of cars, accompanied by terrific peals of thunder. The cyclone formed iu shape something similar to a large balloon, with a large trunk extending to the ground. At this time it had reached the farm of Mr. Holmes, occupied by Mr. Thomas Moua lian. The first damage done was the tearing down of a few rods of fence, then to a small granary, lifting it some twenty feet in the air, landing on the opposite side of the fence. Next came a barn, twelve by twenty-five, which was taken up and torn completely to pieces, the most complete wreck we ever saw. Just before the tornado struck the barn, Mrs. Ellen Monahan, an infirm lady, seventy eight years of age, went out to take care of a little bov, who was in the barn with his sister, about nine years ot age. Mrs. Monahan was taken up in the whirlwind and instantly killed. The girl was taken up also (incredible as it may seem) to a height of fifty feet, (some who witnessed it say one hundred feet,) her clothes were 'torn completely oil’ and carried quite a distance, doing her no bodily injury. When asked how high she was blown, she answered, “Ob, sir, I was up almost to the sky.” The storm theu took an easterly direc tion, dropping quite dowu to the earth, so low that men stacking a short distance away could see over the whole of it, and in its progress lifted some eighteen stacks of grain, carrying some of it a distance of forty rods, undoing the bundles aud com pletely threshing the greater part as it weut.
