Preston rose to a question of privilege
and explained curtain words used by uim
yesterday.
Senator Lumpkin mured that tbu sen
tscee of the court be removal from a
duqu.litic.ition to bold offioe.
Senator Hiwell moved to strike ontjehe
danse "disqualification to hold office.”
Senator Harrison spoke against the
motion.
Sena-or Lumpkin spoke in fsv>- of
bis motion.
beuator Preston spoke in faro jf U .
Howtli’a motion and made a slioug :. rr ...i
lor leniency.
Mr. Bower spoke in opposition to tbe
resuimioo and said that Senators as indi
vidcsis ought forgive the defeadsot, bat
*s senator,, they most heed the demands
of josuoe. *
Mr. Gumming made an earnest speech
in favor of the resolution offered by Mr.
Howell. He did not thins the sentence
Should be so severe as it would have been
nad tbe defendant been foand gaitly of
all the charges. He has been acquitted
of all the graver charges—those involv
ing moral turptitude. He elesed with an
earnest appeal to the Senate.
Mr. Holcombe said he hoped that per
sonal feelings of regard would not be al
lowed to influence members to falter in
their duty to the State of Georgia. He
M*o felt lor the defendant in bis misfor-
tune. He once felt as high regard for
him as any man in the State, and wonld
that he could now clasp the un
fortunate defendant in bis arms, bat duty
to tbe State demanded a stern verdict.
He said it was through no spirit of per
secution that he had voted to sustain the
charges contained in every one of tho
seventeen articles of impeachment, but
because he thought the defendant guilty
of the charges. He favored tho infliction
of a penalty that would be a warning to
futnre office holders. Tbe saddest re
flection ot all was tbe fact that Georgia
was held up all over the Bepublic as a
dishonest State—a State whose officials
were all corrupt. He hoped that there
was yet enough honesty left in the State
to save it. My God I My God 1 Come
to the relief of my country 1
Senator Hudson said he was in favor
of removing from office, but not for dis
qualification for future holding ot office;
that if the rule is enforced the result
would include all the sheriffs, tax collect
ors and exeoutors in the State; they go
free, but the wrath of Georgia must be
visited on tne bead ot tbe Comptroller
General.
We have found him gnilty of setting a
bad example in office. The Comptroller
could have done much worse than he did;
»ad we should not inflict the highest
penalty.
The speeoh of Mr. Bower was one of
•be beat and most classically constructed
appeals delivered in the Senate Chamber
for
many a year. The Senator argued
“Inly from the Constitution, from histo
ry, from the light of experience, and from
the present exigencies of the country,
«at the stntence in fall ehonid be in-
nuitcd, and that it was the duty of ercry
oseator toac\ and act fully in this mat
ter.
. The speech made a profound impree-
•jon and reflects the greatest honor on
*-?to le nted J° nD (?Senator.
Senator Bryan addressed the Senate in
“vor of the motion of Senator Howell.
Louneellcr Hopkins said that the de
fendant, by his counsel, wished to mBke
1 toftosr statement.
oeaator Harrison said he had no ob

Pending this qoeation the court ad
journed till 3:30 p. m.
The Senate also adjourned till 3:25 p.

Many appeals to mercy were made on
account of the past services of the de
fendant, (or criminal as he is by the
verdiot of the Senate.)
His services as a Confederate soldier
wsre fully paraded and illuminated by
Senators on the floor of tho chamber.

Hayes Speaks.
Detboit, September 18.—President
Hayes and patty were received upon the
landing of the steamer Northwest by the
Mayor and the city officials, the govern
ment officers and a large number of citi
zens. At eleven o’clook he was escorted
by the city militia to the Fair grounds,
where be made a speech.
The President alluded to the reunion
of the Twenty-third Regiment the year
before and tbe changes which intsr
vened. The gratifying fioancial improve
ment of the section was quoted.
In speaking on what has been accom
plished by the war, he said: “We all
know that the men who planned the de
struction of the Union aud the establish
ment of tho Confederate S ates, based
their attempt on a cunsttaotion of tn.
Constitution called the State’s rights
do-trine, and in the interest of the people
of those States to tbe extension aud per
petuation of slavery ”
The President eulogized Lincoln, com
mending hie opinions on the issues o' me
civil war expressed in his sp ec : a: tire
consecration of the Getty souig Nsuoaal
Cemetery, that all men are cres .d t quai
and that the war was to test wnetm-r
any nation conceived on such principles
can long endure. The objects tor which
the Union soldiers fought were national
ity, liberty, equal rights and self-govern
ment. Q uoted from Mr. Lincoln’s inau
gural, and urged the acceptance of all
the constitutional amendments. Regret
ted that in come communities there ex
isted a dangerous practical denial of the
right ot colored citizens to the political
privileges guaranteed by the constitution.
No man can truthfully claim acceptance
of the settlement of the war who with
indifference sees the fifteenth amendment
practically nullified. The question of
tbe lawless assailment of the rights of
tbe colored people is ooe of the whole
couatry. Patriotism, justice, humanity
and material interests all plead on the
right side of the question. When races
are numerous, prosperity can only exist
by the harmonious efforts of both the
white people and the colored people. The
only solid foundation for peace and prog
ress m such a community is equal and
exact justice to alL All States now share
alike under the general government. The
press of the communities where lawless
ness exists, has spoken out. In conclud
ing, the President urged the protection
of tbe rights of all, especially the colored
citizens, protecting the rights of all by
sustaining the representatives of the peo
ple who will guard their rightB.
The right of suffrage ia the right of
self-protection. Its free exercise is the
Tital air of Republican institutions.

ginia, and Representative Eppa Huntou,
of Virginia. Hon. J. F. McHenry, chair
man of the Central Committee, was
present, and gave an account of the prog-
rca< and prospects of the campaign in
Ohio, expressing a very sanguine opinion
that Ewing will carry the State by a very
large vote.
He effered various suggestions as to
the best methods of promoting the inter
ests of tbe party in the present campaign.
The eecession of the Tammany delega
tion at Syracuse was only incidentally
alluded to, after the business of the
meeting was over. There wa3 much diver-
eity of opinion as to the effect it would
have on the elections. Tne meeting of
the committee was purely of a businesa
character. The members deny that there
is any foundation for the rumors of action
taken with regard to the splitting of the
party at Syracuse.,

•so tine a trial, with little faith. I will admit, but to
621 my surprise and great re’ief, a few doses con-
4159— 4760 vinoed me tqat I had got hold of the right thing
for my difficulty. It sent out humor from my
blood that, I have no doubt, wad the cause of the
misery I had endured, and I om.d relief as soon
as a medicine could relieve a disease ot that kind.
When 1 began its ums a seldom got a night's rest
or half a one and my appetite was poor, aud as a
consequence I was ruuning down rapid iy, but.
after a lew doses I saw a radical change every
way. and am thoroughly satisfied with Vegetine,
and recommend it to any person suffering as 1
did. Respectfully,
MRS J A J f HNSON.
Female Weakness.-Vegetine acts directly
upon the causes of these complaints. It mvic-
orates and strengthens the whole system, acts
upon the secretive organs, allays inflammation*
cleanses aud cure- ulceration, cures constipation,
regulates the bowels, headaches aud pains m the
back cease, in fact there is no disease or com
plaint wheie the Yegetire gives so quick relief,
and is so effective in its cure, as in what is term*
ed female weakness. It has never failed in one
instance.

I take pleasure in recommending your Vege-

the Lung Disease, trying every kind of medicine
that I could get, but none seemed to do me any
Kood. until 1 tried you great Vegetine remedy.
1 had used it only a short time before I could
discover a very great change in my health for me
better. 1 don't consider tuat your medicibe has
its equal, for the disease which you pr. pose to
cure, especially the diseaso that 1 have been af
flicted with with. JOHN THOMAS:
