SPEECH OF HON. A. H. STEPHENS.
lion. A. 11. Stephens delivered an address t«>-
night, to a very crowded audience, composed ot
members ofthe Legislature, aud ladies aud gen
tlemen of the city aud vicinity. He spoke two
hours and fifty minutes, in a calm review of the
condition and prospects of the country, aud the
late act of Congress. Jie expressed confidence iu
our ability to accomplish our independence, and
counselled hopefulness and persistence. He du
voted much care to the suspension of the writ oi
habeas corpus. He admitted that its suspension
in a proper way is constitutional, but maintained
that the bill as pussed conferred u dangerous and
improper power, as it dispensed with the oath un
der which arrests should be made, aud left it in
, the power ot the President, Secretary of War, aud
Commandant oi the Traus-Mississippi Depart
ment) aud their agents, to arrest citizens without
any oath specifying tho cause ofthe arrest. .He
had no fault tu find with the President, or the
other officers on whom this extraordinary power
is conferred; but abuses of it might be exercised
without their knowledge. The main object ofthe
bill evidently wus principals having
substitutes, from appealing to the courts. He ie
viewed the history of the writ of habeas corpns
and its object. It was to protect citizens from the
grasp of arbitrary power without a hearing. He
did not appreciate the necessity for its suspension
but admitting it to be necessary, it was done in a
way offensive and dangerous to freemen, and- if
we do not protest against it, it may be fastened
on us as tho policy of the Government. In pro
tecting against it w<* are not opposing the Govern
ment, but merely exercising a right and proper
solicitude for individual liberty.
He alluded briefly to the Currency and Military
bills. He thought the Currency Bill unwise aud
severe. He thought tho Military Bill, if executed,
would be fatal, bemuse u would diminish the pro
ducing classes to such an extent a-: to interfere
with the necessary suppies of food. These were
tho-chief topics of his address.
Though in ISeTJivnv**. v... exhibited toward the
close of his speech much of the old fire aua cm
I qnonce fur which he is distinguished.
In the Senate this afternoon a resolution was
adopted uiutioiiziug the Governor to appoint com
missioners to distribute the county rolitf funds
when the Inferior Court fail to do their dutv.

devotion and fidelity to the Confederate cause.
Also, a resolution to the effect that Georgia re
tain to fierseii that portion of her militia between
the ages of 17 and J 8 and 45 and 50. On a mo
tion to refer to the Military Committee a spirited
discussion arose between Messrs Gaulden and
Ramsay. The question was referred.
Mr. Gaulden also ottered a resolution cundernu
tnfi the suspension ol the writ ot ilabea Uajpu ,
which was referred to the Judiciary Committee.
The Beuute then adjourned.

The Corruption or the Authorities at
Washington.— The corrupiH i n at Washington
is becoming so great that even 3orae of the
Black Republicans themselves are crying out
against it. In a debate in Congress, Frank
Blair, the abolition member from the St.
Louis district, spoke as follows:
A more profligate administration than that
of the 'Treasury Department . never existed in
any country: the country was redolent with
the fraud and corruption of the agents.
Again and again permits to trade were sold to
the highest bidder, and recently in Baltimore
•i permit was given to a notorious bloekade
