A bill to reduce the number of hen
ators and Rcpvosentatives caused sonic
del >ate.
Mr. Gibson of Richmond said: the
object of the people ot Georgia, m elect
ing a Senate was to act as a check on
the House of Representatives. Does]
the Senate as now organized, accom
plish that result? A stranger who;
would come and view the two houses
could not tell We difference from tliei
two, unless he was told. Ihe Senate;
ought to be a dignified body, the otlicej
ought to be looked upon by all as one
of great trust. The people ought to
consider that, in electing a Senator,
they were electing one to restrain the
House. Was it so now? He ashed Sen
ators to think of it. We have by
creating new counties destroyed the
very end and aim of the organization
of the Senate. Besides there was to be
taken into consideration this fact, the
Senate is composed of 120 members.--,
That Senate was organized for the pur
pose of being a cheek on the House.
Gould not that Senate serve its purpose;
as well by being composed of 40 mem
bers. The reduction would beau an nual
saving to the State of $25,000. In the
space of 10 years that sum would
amout to $200,000. He was of the
opinion that this reduction could be
made not only,to benefit of the State
pecuinarily, but also, it would improve
the Legislation of the State. This sum
of money would, if saved to the State,
aid us in establishing Schools, and be;
of benefit in a hundred ways- Some of
the gentlemen seemed to desire to come
here to cultivate social relations, lor
his part he did not think that the Slate
ought to be made to pay for cultivating!
the social relations of Senators. He
had heard it used as an argument in fa
vor of Camp Meetings, he thought a
pretty good one, but in that case the
State did not pay the piper." He could;
not be accused of consulting his own.
interests by advocating this bill —from;
the very wording of the bill, making 1
Senators elective from our Representa-j
five Districts, if the law does pass, he'
would have no chance to return.
There was against his party in the
Bth district a majority of 1,000 or 1,500.
He could have no interest in the matter
other than his solicitivd for the dignity
and welfare of the State. He thought:
the law a good one ; he hoped the mo
tion to hiy on the table for the balance
of the session would not prevail. It is
true, Mr. Editor, that this hill was not
finally acted on, and the only excuse—.
if one is necessary— that we will make!
for trespassing to such an extent on your
■column*.-, is the genuine merit of the
speech, and the interest that every vo
ter and every tax-payer m :st feel on
the subject.
jtETERN’OON* SESSION.
The Senate met and was called to or
der pursuant to adjournment. On motion
bills were taken up which had been re
ceived from the House for a Ist read ing.
The whole evening was spent in reading
bills first and second time.
flounce -On the motion to reconsider
so much of yesterday’s Journal as re
lates to the loss of a bill, to dispose of
free persons of color, several member
made speeches. Mr. Keenan said if the j
bill was amended so as to provide funds |
for their removal, he would vote for it. |
The motion to reconsider prevailed. '
Two other motions for reconsidera
tion, one in relation to the private exe
cution of criminals. Mr. Lewis, of
Greene, among others, was against a
reconsideration. The motion to re
consider was lest. Another to reconsi
der a bill of yesterday, allowing collec
tion of interest upon accounts -was
t lost.
1 Mr.. Davis, of Marion, made a speech.
: He wished the reconsideration of the
bill of yesterday in relation to poll and
professional taxes.
Mr. Wilkes, of Lincoln, was of the
1 same opinion, wanted everybody to be
. on an equal footing—lost.

Bohtnir* €>reat Story—. The Dooiimi
Monarch, or tin* Friend Codfish*
BY K. K. BOBTAIL.
CHAPTER I.
•; It was night nowhere, and nowhere
-; was as dark as a bottle of ink in a bar
rel of pitch at the bottom of a well, and
forty-four thousand times darker than
the concentrated darkness of forty
thousand midnights, when upon a
'! throne of petrified turtle soup, stood
>! the mighty Gcngulphus, monarch of
the Fe Fo Fi Fum islands, eating of:
1 buttered beeswax, occasionally wetting I
I: his lips by drinking fludieal wrought
| iron sheet anchors flake foremost.
Around him stood eighty-two thous
•. and nine hundred and eighty seven and
i 1 a half Courtiers ! ! !
■j ’Bring forth the whangdoodle and
j place it on the hewgag!’ exclaimed
■ he in a terrific voice, at the same time
i cutting off a countier’s head with the i
sharp edge of an illustrated cotton bale
CHAPTER 11.
The whangdoodle was placed upon
j the hewgag—but before we go any
further, let us take a glance at the po
litical State of America at the date our
- story opens. We were involved in a
I j war in Mexico, and General Scott was
; carrying our victorious flag through the
■ halls of the Monte-loosers. General
i Washington commanding the home
■ army, had formed a junction with Chris
• topher Columbus at Nanvoo and defea
ted the combined forces of England,
. France and Hindoostan in a sanguinary
. retreat on Bungtown Bights. John C.
, Fremont President of the United States,
, has appointed James Buchanan Gover
. nor of Cape Cod ; and Napoleon Bona
part, as Mayor of Bunker Hill, assisted
5 1 by Lieutenant General Barney O’Twg
>l gev, of Ireland, was preparing for a des-
J cent upon the tories at Cerro Gordon,
. I whilst Dr. Jayne, U. S. Surgeon, was
,j constructing a strong fort at Cairo,
)| armed with a chain and pump and
one hundred of his Carminative Bal
!. sam.
. Under these tremendous circumstan
.j ces, no wonder the men and women of
.'the 10th century were highly intelkc
, tual, and generally speaking, born when
. i they were young.
Turn we again to our story.
CHAPTER 111.
.! The whangdoodle was placed upon
-j the hewgag. Dismay and terror sat
*> upon the countenance of the nobility.
. i Lord DeMonza involuntarily cluched
I Prince Blowpushy’s coat tail and the
■. Countess of Fizfum disappeared hyste-
I rically within her hoops, while bold
» Count dc Scratch hitherto the bravest
. of the brave—threw himself at the foot
» of the throne and elevated one leg as a
» signal of distress. But the mighty
i Gcngulphus was unmoved. Drawing a
golden wire safety fuse from his bosom,
1 ho was in the act of attaching one end
of it to the whangdoodle when—Uh !
. horror of horrors! 1 he beheld in one
. corner of the room his beloved Selah
locked in the arms of Fee tile Swash
j Bosky. Envoy Extraordinary from the
; Isle of Wright!!
CHAPTER IV.
j To say that Gcngulphus was angry
would be but an indifferent statement
I, of the truth. He was in a rage. He
couldn't contain himself, and conse-
Iquently boiled over in torrents that
j formed puddles of wrath at his feet.—
: i He foamed, raved, ript and tore—stamp
,! ed, rolled, kicked and roared. At last,
seizing a battering ram by the horns,
he made a furious push at the guilty
pair.
CHAPTER V.
‘Die!’ shrieked Gengulphus, as he,
. j twirled the fearful instrument above
their heads—but alas ! in its descent it
' came in contact with Baron de Boosey’s
1 pipe, and glancing at right angles, clove
asunder the massive door leading to the
■ ! royal menagerie! Brimstone and tor
ipedoes! thundered Gcngulphus—but
he was too late. Ere he could again
raise tlie huge weapon a fierce detnoni
; cal bowl Tan through the rooms, and
the dext moment the infuriated grizzly
1 Codfish ran madly forth from the de- 1
molished door, and buried his deadly
fangs in the seat of Gpngulpirns’ inex
pressibles ! He uttered a sharp cry of ;
pain—made one desperate effort to
shake off the monster -and then fell to
the floor as dead as a June bug in Janu-,
uty.
CHAPTER VI.
But little more remains to be told.— .
' Selah, soon after the death of Gengui i
; pluis, stabbed herself with a bed wrench, i
and lier paramour, Fee ti le Swash Bos*
I ky, become stricken with remorse,,
| buried bxajself in a pot of porter heels
I up. The Countees of Fiz Fum eloped
1 with an Egyptian mummy in a good
state of preservation, and the Count de
; Scratch having lost the whole of his
fortune in playing. ‘Semon says wig
’ wag’ with the Lord de Monzo was forced
to emigrate West, where he enlisted as
an orderly seargeant to a lime kiln, and >
was shortly afterwards killed by the
’ accidental bursting of a cabbage head.

A* Year in I*ore by a. w. s.
I ’Tw.ts in the ppring of ’SO,
Ami in the mouth of May,
. I met a girl of ton and six,
. Oue holy Suhba'.h 'lay. •
Her name, (perhaps you’d like to see),
I learned to satisfaction,
f And would you know ? ’tls Sukey I’.,
She suits me to a fraction.
And ere of it I was aware
I was clo-e by her side.
Said I I my love, will you prepare
> j At once, to be my bride V 1
Said she ‘o me, “my .Tommy, dear,
1 1 fear you are too fast.
Perhaps another lonely year
Would suit my parents best.’’
“ 01. ! that will neve»\ never do,
| To put it off so late ;
For should you ever prove untrue,
’Twould seal my lonely Tate !”
But, then, again she said to me.
•• It's ’gainst my parent's will—
-1 Another year, and you’ll be free,
And then, my love, 1 will.”
Reluctantly I acquiesced.
To soothe her parent’s hate ;
But still. I thought it not the best
[ | To’make the time so late.
‘ The time will very soon have past,
t ' We two shall then be one ”
The shades of night kept falling fust,
The year its round Das run.
But. horror ! horror ! now I On 1
It true, “ and nothing shorter,”
1 Her daddy sti lis not inclined
To let me have his daughter.
The “ old man ” to me harshly said,
“ I’ve another man in view.
Who with my daughter shall be wed,
Worth fifty, such as you ”
j “By all that’s sacred !’’ then I cried,
I'll have revenge, or die!”
| i To take mv rival’s hr*. I tried,
And he for mine did try.
While thus engaged with might and main, |
