We give ityiSfcier column in this issue t lie Georgia Reconstruction Bill as it finally passed bothTlouses and was presented To the President lor signature. hoped that action ia the matter, on the part of Congress, would be deferrecr until after the meeting of the Legislature, but we failed to comprehend the full extent of the madness and rascality of the day. A gieat many are pre suming to advise as to our future O course ; we offer no advice, but sim ply say, if we were members of t:;e Legislature and inelligablc under the recent act of Congress, we would re sign at once. Every member knows his own case, and after reading the act c&n determine as to bis eligibili ty. We would resign to prevent any action by the Legislature as to the question of eligibility. Il the members return to the Legislature and tak<i or offer to their seats, the Legislaflre .will pass upon the ques tioti of eligibility by applying the test oath contained in the bill, and if ineligible, those who receiv ed the next highest at the elec tion will, urjjder the code, be allowed to take their ?eats. But if the mem bers who are ineligible resign at Once, no action can be taken by the Legislature upon that question ; be cause a vacancy will exist, and anew election will have to be held to fill their places. If there is a vacancy of course no election can be taken, because there is no one for the Legis lature to take jurisdiction of. 'The question then addresses itself to every one, which is best; to risk the action of the Legislature under the control of the Governor, backed up by Federal bayonets as he will be, or risk anew election. For ourselves, we say, have anew election to fill the seats of all who are inelligible under the bill. Jttk !frr Below we celebrated Fifteenth Amendment about which there has been so much excitement and controversy in the Western and J tarn year. It now seems to be a fixed fact that by Congressional usurpation it is to become a part of the Federal Consti tution. Georgia is required absolute ly to adopt it before her members of Congress can be admitted to seats. It was plain to be seen from the ac tion of the other States, that the re quired number could not be obtained to secure its adoption, and Congress has applied the bayonets to the South ern States to accomplish this object. It is short, hut full of persecution and tyrany. Bead it: ARTICLE XV Section I The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States, or by any State, on account of race color or previous condition of servitude. Seo. IL The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legist lation. LANDS. We are glad to see from the re ports from different sections of the State that lands have rapidly in creased in value within the last year. This is a very good indication of the prosperity of our people. Lands in Decatur county are reported to have sold receutlv at from $6,00 to $12,00 per acre. In Hancock county from to $7,00 per acre. In Pike county as high as $16,00 per acre. In this, Upson county, on the first Tuesday in this month, lands at ad ministrator's ...sale, near town said for $20,00 per,acre. On the same day lands were rented by an •admin istrator at public outcry and brought $6,50 per acre. The people are rapidly recovering from the shock of the late war, and if let alone will soon pay up or otherwise settle their old debts and be more prosperous than ever. We predict that in five years from now the average lands of Upson county cannot be bought for less than $25,00 per acre. . A yor.g gentleman, four years okl, recently threw his niateral relatives into a fit of admiration by the follow ing speech: “I like'most all kinds of cake—pound cake, jelly cake and sponge cake —but I. don't like stom ach ache V } A NOVEL EXPERIMENT. Parker Pillsburry has been down South, as we learn from the World of the 16th, and does not like the looks of things. lie does not take kind’y to the inajjfand brother/’ Lik# every fanatic who was zealous in the cause of abolitionism, this man after contributing largely in bringing about the freedom of the slaves, now turns artraml slanders them. We agree with him fully tbit tlm ballot should not bo forced upon these people, because -of their igno rance and inability to weild it intel ligently. But we cannot agree with him in his report of their condition. Ills report is untrue-mnd a base slan der of the colored people. a general thing the colored people have surpassed the most sanguine expecta tions of their abolition friends. They are getting to bo industrious, each one trying to support his family in as good style as bis means willj>ear; and marriage now greater extent among the enlightened, people of Boat >n even than among the blacks in this country. And the blacks, botli men and women, ar% more faithful to their marital tions than the whites of Boston or Chicago, if the newspaper reports be true. The crime of infanUfcide is not near so common as among the whites in New York or Boston. Indeed; such a crime is almost unknown un less it be on some of the islands of the sea-board, which have been aban doned entirely by the whites of the South, and the blacks—the dirty, ignorant, salt-water negres are left alone to inhabit them. Yet Pillsbury denounces and slan ders the blacks generally. Like Help er, the author of the “ Impending Crisis,” who advises that the blacks of the South be colonized or exterm inated, lie is never satisfied without doing mischief. But hear the no tions of the villian rillsburp. Says Pillbury : “ He sure must have a low estimate of the solemn responsibilities of Gov ernment, who would force the ballot on thomsands and thousands to be seen all over the South. And forced it was on many men, wherever the slaves have voted. 000 They knew no more nor cared no more for what they did in voting than if they were as infantile in years as they are in political experience ” Agamy ire" ama ma indignation upon their sociology and objects to the recognized neatness of the Afm can. Suith he : “ Marriage does not exist among them ; “ very few children are born “infanticide is common;” in their wretched komes “no family meal seems to be provided,’’ each member of the family doing his own cooking and eating what lie can get; knives and folks are unknown among these ; their huts have no floors, no windows, no decent table, chairs, or bed. ‘ I saw infants and very young children naked from morning till night,” says the penitent Pillsbry, “ and boys of at least a dozen years with only a single garment, and tiiat but a scanty apology. Many women, young and old, had little on above the waist, and nothing below the knees —and the ballot may be the one thing need ful there —but, it seems to me, soap, sand, fine-tooth combs, pots, kettles, chairs, tables, knives, forks, spoons, decent food, cooking and clothing, glass windows, and looking glasses, should at least go side by side, if they may not precede the rights of suffrage and of sovereignty.” iji ffi Below we give the “ Morton Georgia Bill ” as it passed both houses and was sent to the President. The original bill was greatly changed and some of its requirements left' out, but there is still enoifgTi infamy in it to damn its authors and supporters: The GEORGIA BILL. 1. An act to promote the reconstruction of Georgia. Be it enacted, That the Gover nor of Georgia be and he is hereby author ized and directed forthwith, by proctoma* tion, to summon all persons elected to the General Assembly, as appetyos by proclama- of General Meade, dated Jnne 25th 1808, to appear on some day certain, named in the proclamation, at Atlanta ; and there npon, said General Assemeiy shall proceed to perfect organiz ition in conformity with the Constitution aud laws of the United States, according to the provisions of this act. 2 That when the members so elected to the Senate and House of Representatives shall be conveued, every member and every person claiming to be elected as a member of the Senate or Ht-use es Representatives shall, in addition to taking the oath requir ed by the Constitutsou of Georgia, also take subscribe and file, in the office of the Secre tary of the State of Georgia, one of the fol lowing oaths or affirmations, viz : I do solemnly swear oraffirm, that I have never held the office or exercised the duties of Senator or Representative of Congress, nor have been a member of the Legislature of any State of the United States, nor hdd any civil office created by law for the nd loißistmti. » of anj general law of a State, >or fur tate administration of ju&tice in any itnte, or under the laws of the United States ; nor held any office in the military cr naval service of the United States, and tl»etea!ter engaged in insurrection or rebel lion against the United States, or gave aid »r ftorufort to its enemies, or rendered, *-x --cep’ in consequence of direct physical force, aoy aid to any insurrection or the United Spates, nor held any office under, or given any support to any govern orient noting io hostility to the United States, so*help me God ; or on pains an penalties of perjury, as the caso may be ;or the following oath, or affirm..- tion, : 1 do solemnly swear, or affirm, that I have been relieved bv an act of Con gress from disabilities as provided by the roartheenth Amendment, so help me God. Or on pains and penalties of perjury, as the case may be. Which cath, or affirma tion, when so filed, shall be entered on rec ord by the Secretary of the State of Geor gia. Said oath or affirmation, or Copy of the record thereof, duly cert fied by said Secretary of State, shall be evidence in all suits places. Every person claiming to be so elected, who shdlWqfuse, decline, or neglect, or be unable to take one of said oaths or affirma tion, shall not be admitted to a seat in the Senate or House of Representatives. 3. That if any person claiming to be el ected to the Senate or House shall falsely take either of said oaths, he shall be deem ed ot perjury and suffer the pains and penalties thereof, and may. be tried therefor by a Circuit Court of the United Sta(fH for the District of Georgia, in which District the crime may be qommitteu. The 'jurisdiction of said Court shall bes le and exclusive for the purpose aforesaid. 4. That the persons elected and entitled to compose such Legislature, and who shall • comply therefore, procqpi#to reorganize the Senate aid House by the eljvti u of the prop r officers. 5.

G. That it is here by declared that the exclusion of any person elected as aforesaid, and being otherwise qualified, from partic ipating in the proceedings of the Senate or House of Representatives, upon the ground of race, color, or previous condition of ser vitude, would be ill gil revolutionary, and is hereby prohibited. 7. That upon the apt I.cation of the Gov ernor of Go rgia, the President of the Uni tei States shall employ ouch military or na val force of the United State-i as may be nee essary to enforce and execute the preceding provisions of this act. 8. That the Legislature shall ratify the Fifteenth Amendment proposed to the cons stkution ol the United States, before the Senators and Representatives from Georgia are admitted to seats in congress. Bullock wrote a letter to Butler assuring him that upon the passage of the above bill, he would issue a proclamation conven ing the Legislature on the 12th of January. Bingham and Farneowoath are the only Republicans who voted nav. TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. In the debate in the House on the Geor«* gia bill, the Democrats took the ground that Congress had no right to constitute itself an appellate cuurt to pass upon the acts of a Legislatures. Voorhees said he believed in the doetrine of once a State, always a State. If Georgia is a State for ona purpose, she was a State for another, and Gongress could not inter* sere with her Etfer.dge denounced the bill as revolts tionary, and contrary to a republican firm of government, lie said it wou.d make the people of Georgia slaves to this Congress and slaves to the general government, lie hoped that Georgia would not accede to the terms imposed, and that the Fifteamh Amendment would be resisted in every State, by all constitution means. Cox said; nothing in the reconstruction laws required the seating of negroes ; that Congress had no right to revise the legisla tion of a State. He spoke of Bullock wrig* gling around Congress to gat Georgia out of the Union, and gave as a reason his opera house and other schemes for plunder ing the State. Bingham moved a postponement of the bill till the third Wednesday in Januarv, and said that despite party dictatioa, be should vote against it. The bill was un» just and unwise- The Presidhnt never intended to impose au oath on the people of Georgia. Farnsworth coincided with Bingham. Butler closed the debate in his usual style, and charged the people of Georgia with disloyalty and outrageous the Radicals laugh by au indecent entendre. . - y o ' The clerk read g.Jett£r site, ing that he §lw>uld,--the moment the bill came a law, issue a pr/oliMiiation calling' the Legislature together - on the 12th of January.

Dec. 21.—House—Voorhees is arguing against thh Georgia bill Daws, of Massachusetts, asked questions which indicated his intention to vote for it. None of the Republican members spoke against the Georgia bill last night. Mr. Bingham spoke against it to-day. Evening — At three o’clock the Georgia bill passed, and goes to the President.

Gardner, of Texas, February lb, Ibotf. Immediately after her marriage she removed with her husband to Texas never to return to the land of her birth Rut a lew months ugo, full of lile and loveliness, she bid farewell to her parents, relatives and friends, but while away am- ng stiang. rs, in the bloom oi youth, she has been called from earih The sad news has come, Izora is gore, bhe died ut W.-.co, Texas, December IT, ISo9, at the early age of eighteen year?, bhe was a consistent member of the Baptist churc , and, none knew her but to lot s her. • J. Miss Eva Lamar Harvey daughter of Michael *. Harvey, deceased and cusan Kendall, was born in Tnl botton, Ga., and died on 9th .November, 1819. at the residence of her step-futher, Dr. 0 F. Knod, Bruudi'.ge, Pike county Ala. bhe bore her last illness with remarkable fortitude, it painful and protracted ulilicti«n of the lungs complicated with heat t dise <se. When ask. dby her minister it she felt afraid to pass through the dark valley, she rep ied “ no I do not sea rto die: for 1 have lobgsince ceased to care for life ” Young, beautiful and accomplished, it Is strange that she should have gi»en an eager welcome to the angel of death, but suffering had giv< niter strength, and that fai h which had illumined her early years grew brighter as her last hours drew neag. Only a few years ago she was a pupil at the Wes'eyrtrWemale College, Macori, Ga., a bright and bl otning trirl before whim the word was glowing with beautiy and beaming with dreams of future happiness. But alas! th. se golden gieauis of joy were shadowed by the black pall that drooped like a dark night over the suulight of her native bind A quiet, retired life she led, tor one who was naturally fond of gay society, a word of cotupl int ever escaped her lip, and it wlynt the domestic fireside sur rounded by her young brothers and sisters that her true character shone forth in all its loveliness. When speaking of one of her little sisters about six years old, she once said “ I keep her ith me, never walk out without her, and It is tire gfeatest pleasure of my life to teach so good a child.” Her eyes became so weak a lew days before her death that she could scarcely distinguish lift friends except by their voices, but notwithstanding this site had a clear and visible manifestations of God s tender canjaiulaU sustaining grace. Extended over her buffering form was a beautiful Hntrtf on whicn she said was the brightest she had ever seen. Her limber then asked if shro<>uld read it? Her reply ‘‘certainly I Gan,” and she immediately read as if it was before her mortal vision, -l / wi/l tstmtain thee." comfortihg assurance site seemed to feel b» tter, and remarked that she had no fear of death but was perfectly willing to go whenever God choso to call her. • s My you g niece was belowejir by all who knew her for her amiability and unselfishness, find every attention that nffecuon c>>uld suggest was herdtni g the twelve weeks that she was confined toiler room As an evidence of the entertained for her vir tues, when the sad news of her death was spread thro g'hoftt the village, all the Lusfnesswhouses were closed, appearuace of levity was bttnished, and the low step and hushed vo ce told plainer than winds that the spiral' death * •“ stern, all pitiless,” had borne from its sweetest treasures, Thus another cherished flowers that bloomed within tny heart, has been plucked to adorn the fadless bowers of Puradise. “Lea? by leaf the roses fall, by drop the spring runs dry, by one beyond recall, Ksrtffiy mde die I” But above, there are* glories that never die. and thero I trust we may forfdly meet not only with the sweet subject of this sketch, but all the ransomed gone before, and unite with them in praises of love fonder and fonder.
