Tiio ultra republican newspapers I of the country, and ,l<! 1110 norry to sec*, also i-nnu: of the democratic jour nals as well, are taking to task the present Congress, and raoroespecially the lower house, for doing so littlo in the Avna* cif active legislation since the session began in December. Ale, of course, are prepare and for any amount of fault finding and vituperation from radical court-os, yet must sy that democratic papers are, under the cir cum la’ c s, entirely too hasty in their condemnation. So numerous and so mighty are the frauds which tins re publican party Ims built during its lease of power (which, thank heaven, ; is now over forever) that it is entirely unreasonable to suppose that tho op position, on assuming control of the : lower House, can, in the course of a few weeks, undo* apd counteract all the unwise ad dangerous legislation which has been carried through by that unscrupulous party in the course of many years. Prudence is, at this time, especially necessary in the ma king future laws. “Fcxtina Irate,'’ al ways a good motto, either in public a!fairs or private business, is especially so now when the well-being and safe *y of th; lb public may hang upon the laws | . s.ad at the present session, i The financial question, for example, is one of exceeding great interest and moment, and, therefore, must not be dealt with hastily and iirn:d*;.-<-.d]y.i Tins, however, is but a single one out, of the numerous mi<.-eti-,us which the • present Congress must settle, all cf cting the prosperity and happiness of the American people to such a de gree that the least mistake of the democrats may lose them all present advantage, 1 . ides plunging the peo ple in still greater poverty and misfor- j tune than they are now compelled to endure from the criminal legislation • cf the republicans. It will therfore be readily seen why a great necessity exists for a long session of Congress, and that extraordinary care must be ; taken before measures are passed. The Centennial appropriation bill, I after running the gauntlet in the | House, and r< e< I, ing a n< : wry com- j ! plimeulnry majority, has gone to the! i Men ate, whore it seems to meet very' strong opposition, which will not pre vent its becoming a law. The Pinchhack case still hangs fire. The democrats have resolved in a body 1 to vote for Senator T'.diunud’s ainend- I ment t<> Morton’s motion, gaid amend ment being that “he be not admitted,” and a largo number of the republicans of that body are not go blinded by I party prejudice as the Indiana Sena tor, it seems just now p.sif Pinchhack’s chances were very slim. If so de cided, there will be no objection to the admission of Mr. Enstis. On Tuesday, in the House, the com mittee reported in regard to appro priations for diplomatic service in for ■; ign countries. Tho report proposes to abolish many of the consulates, Ac as perfect sinecures and of no sub stantial benefit to the commerce of t] io oanntrv. ilr. Ovz.v jiiruclo ex Ojr- • vr-cli favoring the report cf the committee, and urging its acceptance ns in accord with the policy of retrenchment and reform of tho present House, and de manded by the impoverished state of the country, lfis address was replete with wit, humor and sarcasm, and ! was received with frequent bursts of i applause. Many t titions havO b en r c ivc I> favoring Government aid to the Texas Pacific lx. R., and a day or two ago a sub-committee reported to tho full I committee iu favor of granting such 1 aid, Mr. Luttrell, of California, alone dissenting. The committee has not ! yet reported to the House. : The famous Hot Springs case, in volving so many diverse interests, was I argued before the Supreme Court last ! week, a decision is expected on Mon day next. Morton tries every now and then j lo get the Mississippi question before the Senate, but hitherto has failed to I convince any body of the correctness ■of his conclusion. The latest sensa- I tion in the Senate is not of a political, ] but a national nature, cupid not hav | ing before his eyes the dignity of that j body of “grave and rnverened seig ; morn” recently invaded its precincts and pierced the heart of the venera ! hie IsuacP. Christiancy, of Michigan, j The fair one was an employee in the Treasury whom the Senator had ! known but a few weeks ere he fell a i victim to her fascinations. The town of course is all agog with amazement, and overbody wonders “who will be the next?” The resignation of Mr. Barclay, which that gentleman evidently ex pected would cause the Capitol to tot ; lor to its lowest foundations and send i confusion and distress into the ranks I of the majority, has produced no ap preeiablo effect and things are pro grossing smoothly, without that assis tance which ho considered as neces sary to the well being of the Itopnb-1 lie as the Constitution itself—never \vrre Burn’s lines more perfectly ap- i plicahlo : “(Hi v.-.'l some pov i thegiftte Rio ns," Ac. Avery novel spectacle will soon be exhibited in this city in tho examina tion of President Grant ns a witness in tho Babcock trial. Such a thing j never happened before in onr history and it is to be hoped for the.honor of tho United States that onr history will never reqiriro such another. 'I hat Grant’s testimony, if they can get him to conquer his habitual reticence and say anything, will, of course, goto ex onerate his private Secretary is a forc gono conclusion, yet it must bo n proud reflection for every true Ameri can citizen that his evidence will have no greater weight than that of a pri vate individual, and that if Babcock is convicted, it will prove tho host ar gument for trial by jury over offered. One can imagine the profound amuse ment of foreign potentates when they receive tho news and read Air. Grant’s testimony, but if it decs no more, it must at least convince the moot skep tical among them whatever the crimes, frauds, and peculations now rife in our country, (thanks to the republi can party) tho spirit of our institu tions still lives anil there is little dan ger that our people have become so imbued with respect tor the “divinity which doth hedge n king,”' an to have any present thought of exchanging the republic, with ail its faults for a monarchy. One of the most astounded and un precedentcd occurrences that ever | happened in our politics, tool; place j on Thursday in the executive session lof the Senate. It was no less, thau the defection of Senator Brace of Mis sissippi, from < he ranks of his party and his arraiguement of Grant and the re publican organization. Iu the course of his speech, he spoke of the Presi dent as a liar and hypoeryto, who had broken every promise he ever made to the negroes of the South and charac terized the carpet-baggers iu the same style. It was a perfect bombshell in the republican camp, and will produce such a “weeping, and wailing, and gnashing of teeth” as hits rarely been seen or heard. Gordon exclaimed, “Sirs, now let thy servant depart in peace, since he has seen tho salvation of the Lord.” Thurman took it as a ! support of hia position ever since the i war. This extraordinary speech will j | produce a pro-found sensation all! ! over the South, and is but the second tidal wave (ex-Seuator Bevels being the first) which must in the course of a very short period sweep over the i South and will eventually carry the ! negro vote of that section in the dem ! oeratic ranks. Eexo. Gen. Jolm id, Gordon, 111 i VI3AVS ON Till POLITICAL SITUATION. Gen. Gordon is in Atlanta on a visit, and invitation of a number of the members of the General Assem bly spoke in the hall of the House of Representatives last Monday night. He was greeted by an immense crowd of ladies and gentlemen, and there was great applause when he appeared. The following brief synopsis of his ad dress is given in a special telegram to the Savannah Nines: He made an eloquent speech, which is heartily endorsed, lie spoke of TIXE FX.'.r.FUL BAXSEEB IMKiNDIXO on account of the corruption and usurpation of the Radical party; and pointed out the best means of remov . ing it from power in November. He had no candidate for President yet, but should support the most availa ble than. Toomb’s remarks about a constitution in which the negro should not bo In aid of had filled the North ern mind With uppielicijsiuu as to the purposes of tho Democratic par ty, and if A COXSTITCTIOXAL CONVENTION is to be held —and he would not com mit himself on tho subject—it should ho held at once, in order to remove this apprehension about injustice to the negro race. Toomb’s declara tion—whose speech Morton read in the Senate as delivered to and ap • proved by tho Georgia Legislature j —Gordon says is ron GIIEATEST MISFORTUNE that has fallen upon the South since ; the surrender. These two state ments were heartily applauded, as j was his approval of Hill's speech to Blaine. If the South quiets the ap j prehensions at the North, which are j more to be feared than the passions of the people, he predicts a .Democrat ic victory in November, and this alone can save the country from anarchy and ruin. -r— —MO- • —Km The general feeling in New York is, i that the centennial year will be far ! more prosperous and satisfactory than the most sanguine now anticipate.

The house resolved into the committee of the whole, Mi - . CANDLER in the chair. Mr. CANDLER proposed an amendment that provided nothing in this act shall he construed as rec ognizing the validity of the state’s endorsement on the remaining 544 bonds, but declare them null and void, which amendment was agreed to. Mr. STEW ART of Rockdale moved that the committee rise and report the hill hack with the recommenda tion that it do pass as amended. Mr. BLACK explained the bill in au elaborate speech. Mr. HARRISON believe - ! the bonds were fraudulently issued, hut favored the bill because the parties are bona fide purchuners without notice of tho fraud. Mr. HAMILTON of Floyd and Mr. ADAMS opposed the bill. On motion of Air. LIVINGSTON, the committee rose, reported progress and asked leave to sit agrin. lIESOI.UTION. Air.

The bill that yw s report \o.?y the ju diciary committee of the house of rep i..- -iit::t ivand pan. eel by a strong vote almost without debate was the re sult of mime vous petitions from every put of the country. These petitions principally came from credit..rs, who had discovered that tho act is not only a cover for in numerable frauds, but that it permit;; olllcinln to appro priate a bankrupt’.; asset::, leaving an a rule scarcely a fra t ion for those who are justly entitled to them. Tin. act is not popular in'any selion of the country, and th nanale will hard ly care to stand in the way of the ali ildato naked reuci'-l that the house lias passed up.

LUMA Know It The Macon Telegraph tells the following, which it von •hen for as a fact: Joe liv< sin Baker county, and although esteemed an honest, harm less man, seldom enters church, and is deplorably i mu-ant upon spiritual matter--. It is only when he is quite tipsy, which not infrequently happens, that hn becomes religion Ly inclined, and even grows maudlin. At those seasons, if tie. re is a ce.mo-meef ing within reach, Joe is certain to be a most devout mxurnrr. On ono cc ms ht visited asi dor in Albany, an 11 ,v irds night, came to her house very bo-sr.v, and ns usual, .ry ; mite : iver his sin-• Th g >od liuiy w is driighte.l to tied lux- erring broth: r in such a promising frame of mind, and immediately cut f< r a pious neighbor to come and give him : pir ln.il iiit-irnctioti. The good dsac on accordingly came over, uuu Joe lisksicd to him with wrapt attain on, meekly acquiescing in every word that was "said. No one could h vro bean more deco rous and si Icnui. Warming with ibis subject, at length Deacon ejaculated, “Now, Joe. don't you know I that Jesiio Christ died to save poor sinners like you ?” This was too much for the pious fel low. Ho broke down forthwith, and! | blubbered out with l ireaining eyes, “Oh my salt.' a —did you Re v ho was u< l u.!.‘ Vv lieu did he die? V, iio killed him? 800-lioo-hoo.” This was too much for the patience fo tho deacon, and m great wrath he departed, leaving Joe to bis fate. Tho above is a fact. Mow to M ike . [cuey; Tue Eufaula JYW.-s says the .'Bahama Grangers arc considering hov. it )raise I fifty thousand dollars lo build them selves a hull in Montgomery. The [ easiest way we can think of is soma ar rangements to cut down the cotton acreage just about fifty par cent, j if all the Grangers and planters could i agree to lhal, we think they would soon j have money enough. Such a roduc i ion in area, we suppose, would reduce the aggregate product from twenty to thirty per cent, because under it, the one-half would be made to do largely merer,sad work; and, iu fact, iu the I course of two or three crops, would bring up the gross product to old fig ures, so that it might he necessary to j reduce again. It seems to us that an ■ agricultural league ought to bo compe tent to protect its members from self destruction by a foolish over-prcduc- I tiiiii —a thing in which every one of them Ims an equal and a vital intcr e.-t. If it can't do Ilia!, what’s the use of it? We see the manufacturing and mining interests successfully combine to check ruinous overproduction, and it ought to be equally practicable among cotton planters. It seems that General Grant will j occupy the White House one day in j the third term without regard to the I unwritten law of the republic. The itu of March, 1877, will be .Sunday, and consequently his democratic suc cessor will not be inaugurated until Monday, the sth of March. This lias happened but twice in onr history— first iu 1821, when Monroe was in augurated, and again in 1841), when General Taylor assumed his presiden tial duties. (jIOODH -AND- * . LOW PRICES!
