It had been tor years.
Senator Jonssox.—It appears that the terra

V. S. Senate will expire on the -itb of March, ’67,

will doubtless be tendered to him for sis years,

The RicmsoxiaEclectic.—A Monthly Magazine
of Foreign Literature, religious and secular.
Messrs. Patrick and Havens, have received the
first number of this new periodical, and fu.wished
ns with a copy. It Is a highly creditable produc
tion, and wo commend it to the hearty support ol
the Southern people. The contents ol the num

ing a wide range of subjects. Edited by Rev.
Moses D. Iioge and Rev. Wm. Brown. Price $4,00

rick aud Harms, Macon.
The Macon Papers.—These papers are pecu
liarly interesting to us just now, because, when
they come promptly to hand, they bring us the
latest reports ef too Legislative proceedings.—
But they rarely coma to us ns soon us due—the
instances in which they are received here on
tlio day of publication are exceptional cases.—
Cannot our friends of the Macon press send out
the valuable information they publish a duy
sooner! -Columhtt» Eng.
The Telegraph is delivered every morning to
tbo Southwestern train, end if it does not reach
Columbus the same afternoon, it must be the
fault of the route agent in not distributing it
for the right train at Fort Valley. We will look
into the matter, and have the irregularity cor
rected, wherever it may be.
A Reason with Some Force.—The National
lutelligcnccr says the late election* North were
lost toths Administration by the mistaken policy
of the President iu keeping all the offices, ard con
sequently the patronage, of the Government In the
various States iu the hands of his enemies, the Rad
icals. Every office-holder, says the Intelligencer,
Is apolitical worker. We luwcheretofore shown
by a minimum calculation, that this patronage is
worth to the party exercising it, at least from
thirty to forty thousand votes in Pennsylvania, and
from forty to fifty thousand in New York. In
New Hampshire, Connecticut, Illinois, Ohio,
Indiana, and Other States the influence of this pat
ronage bears a corresponding ratio.

Certainly the city of Macon, with her large
aid thriving business, should not bo behind her
sister cities in this particular regard, nnd we call
upon our merchants and business men to come
forward and inform us immediately what they

Tnc Brunswick Road.—The friends of tbis
enterprise will doubtless bear in kind remem
brance those who stood by them in their hour of
need, and whose logic aud eloquence hare vindi
cated their claims so triumphantly before the
Legislature. Among these are Hon. B. J. Moses,
of Muscogee, and our own esteemed Representa
tive, Hon. Tbos, J. Hardeman. Roth these gen
tlemen mode powerful appeals in the House in
behalf of the work, and the great success of the
measure in that body is probably due to their
unanswerable arguments. These gentlemen
were prominent in the discussion, and heace this
special -notice of their efforts, not designing,
.however, to overlook tho claims of others who
.lent a ineffective helping hand. Cherokee Geor
gia, which has heretofore shown no particular
sympathy for the interests of middle and south
ern sections of the State, we are pleased to see
from the vote,* ha* taken a catholic view of the
geheral j rosperity, and thrown a strong influ
ence in behalfof the work, for which their own
meritorious interests should be remembered.

Mr. J. A. W. Johnson, a bill to donate the Oke-
fenokeo Swamp to the Georgia Orphan’s Home.
Mr. Moore, a bill to amend the charter of the
Planters’Convention, so far as the name is con
cerned. The bill proposes to change the name
to the Agricultural anl Manufacturing Conven
tion of Georgia.
Mr. Kenuu, a resolution, which was adopted,
tendering the privilege of seats on the floor of
the Senate to Gens. Gordon and Wayne during
their stay at the Capital.
The bills proposing modificationsofthc County
Court, aud the abolition of said court, which was
made the order of the day, was taken up. The
joint committee of tho two bouses, to which all
bills on the County Court were referred, made
two reports: the majority iecommeud the con
tinuance of the court with semi-annual sessions
in which criminal cases may be tried, and quar
terly sessions for the trial of other cases; that a
criminal case may be tried when the parties
waive their right to have such case tried at the
semi-annual session. The minority report rec
ommends the total abolition of tho County Court.
It was moved that the minority report be sub
stituted for the majority report The motion
failed by 3 votes.
The bill recommended by the majority of the
joint Committee was then taken up; and the
field was thrown open lor debate on the question
of the continuance or the abolition of the
Court.
.Mr. Strozier spoke iu favor of the abolition oi
the County Court, lie thought that for the sake
of providing the negro with a Court for his special
benefit, the' Legislature had imposed an onerous
burden ou the white men who acted u» jurors, or
who were parties at suit. He thought the tribu
nals that had been provided beinre the County
Court was organized, altogether sufficient for the
litigation ol the country. He thought that
cases of crime had increased in conscqueuce of the
Court.
Mr. Uowei s also spoke iu favor of the abolition
of the County Court. He opposed it ou the
ground of the expense it would entail on the State
if the Courts were properly organized. The
Judges of such courts must have pay lor their
services. It would require at least *1,000 to pay
such judges. This amount ol pay would bnrtteii
the people ot Georgia with an annual tax of $133-
000—a sum altogether too large to keep up a Court
for which there was no actual necessity.
Mr. VimDuzcr advocated the bill proposed by
the majority oi the Joiut Committee. There was
u necessity lor such a Court, to try tho numerous
cases or tnclt and other misdemeanors that were
known to have increased so much since the. eman
cipation.
Mi. Carter thought that the cases of theft had
not 1-eeu so great as had been expected. It was
thought at one time that a special Code tor the
negroes would be necessary ; but the country had
got along very well without such a Code.' The
necessity of the Court had seemed to arise out of
the fact that there had been so much business
brought before it: but it must be remembered
uiauy petty uiia trivialca»t~> uau c«en brought
before such Courts, that but for the existence of
such tribunals, never wonld have been prosecuted.
After some other discussion the further conside
ration of tnc hill was postponed till Saturday
next.
Mr. O. L. Smith, Chairman of the Committee
appointed at the last session to report a bill, pro
vidiug for commou school education in Georgia,
submittid his report with a hill ou the subject.—
The bill was ordend to be printed. It is a lengthy
bill of semb 80 sections. It provides for the ap-
S ointment ol a Superintendent ot Common School
ducation in Georgia, at a salary of 51,500 per an
num, and provides ter the districting of the Coun
ties, Ac.
The bill to alter the charter of the Augusta and
Columbia Railroad, which runs less than a mile in
Georgia, anu the rest of its length iu South Caro
lina, was passed. The amendment is to u-iiiotc

From the Washington Union, Nov. 10.]
We perceive fron-lhe Chronicle that Korae..

r ora^T Divine to whom the preparaflon of the Report
public mind by ealHqg upon the Loyal Leaguers,
as they ate termed, to organize themselves and
come to Washington tor the purpose ot protecting
and vindicating the power ol Congress over the
constitutional rights of the President, which is
nothing more nor less tkan a revolution, which
must be met with decision and firmness. If For
ney b Co. are determined to persist in the course
they have marked out, It is the bounden duty of
the trlends of the President to accept the issue
thus presented, and prepare themselves for the
(struggle.
If the time has arrived when the legislative
department of the Government ia to absorb the
co-ordinate branches, tho time has also arrived
when it should be resisted at the point of the
bayonet We are in favor of the constitutional
rights of everr department of the Government
which can only be maintained by each aeting
within the prescribed limits of the Constitution.
When Congress shall transcend these limits for
the purpose of absorbing the powers of the Presi
dent it ie revolutionary, and he is justified in
calling to his aid the whole military power of
the country, which would be responded to from
North to South, East to West; aud, when this
formidable array of fighting material ahall pre-
aeut them selves in vuidieation of the Constitu
tion, this grand army of " Loyal Leaguers,” as
they style themselves, whose loyalty eooaisU in
plundering the public treasury, skulking from
tho army when their services were needed, end
now exciting the country to revolution, will
never present themselves in battle array. The
war will be for the Constitution—net for plun
der; for the independence of the three co-ordi
nate branches or the Government, and against
either one absorbing the functions of the other.
H the programme presented by Forney & Co. ia
the true*and legitimate ground unen which the
Radical Congress Intends to plunt itself, we say to
the fHends ot the President let us accept the Issue,
aid at once organize tor the struggle. Let our
lrlende in every hainlet and village organize them
selves at once, and be ready for the conflict. Let
their watchwords be the Constitution—the inde
pendence of the President in the execution of hie
constitutional rights—and ajunlted country upon
terms of equality and just lee, and present them
selves also in Washing!oa, where these Loyal
Leaguers n.. v ,.j\- a Mr opportunity of looking

Mr. O. L. Smith, A bill to incorporate tbe Stock

THE CITY RESERVE—A BAD MOVE.
We perceive that a bill bas been introduced
into the Legislature, tbe object of which is
empower the City Council ci Macon, iu coasid
eration of a «u m to be paid for charitable use*,
to dispoae of the property known aa the “ City
Reserve” to private partiesin fee simple. The
measure, we learn, originated with the City
Council, and was brought before the General As
sembly at their instance.
We trust the bill will not less. Indeed, in be
half of a very large ind intelligent opposition
parly amongnur citizens, waprotest against any
such disposition of tbo property.
The Reserve is a large b*dy of land, chiefly
wooded, lying directly southeast of and adjacent
to tho city. It rests upon the river bank and
reaches out to tbe highlands, thus forming a val
uable barrier between the |ity and an almost
interminable line of swamp that lies below,
constitutes, in the estimation of our oldest and
best physicians, our greatest protection against
the miasma of the district referred to, and,
cleared up aud put in cultivation, tbe health
the city would be seriously jeofarded, if not en
tircly destroyed, its value, tlen, aa it stands,
eannot be estimated in dollars *-l cents. What
ever income tbe city might derfre from its sale
would bo no consideration for tl.o loss of health
that would almost certainly enste.
For this reason, whilst wo have every respeet for
the City Cornell, and those excellitt citizens who
desire a change in the status of tlili property, w
hope the bill now.pcndlng vlllinot pass into a law.
There is so much at stake tpon the Issue, that the
citizens generally should hike, Imc .crious con
jfidcration, and Inaugurate steps fog securing tbe
defeat of the measure. In my evert, we feel that
we have but done our duty in calling public atten
tlon to the matter, and raising & wiruing voice
against a policy which we confldeatD believe will
prove disastrous to the health of the ily.
While on the subject, wc would nbfce another
suggestion. We learn that seriou|depredations
are being committed on tbeReseevo by freedmen
and persons living In tbe vicinity, itio are draw
ing regularly their supplies of lire-tood from its
(Orest*. This should be stopped forthwith, and
to that end we recommend that tp city lease a
portion of the property to some /(liable person
who will reside ou it and iu consideration of the
privilege, agree to protect it agaiift trespasser#.
Change of Dcess —Tho prfsure upon our
business columns is so heavy, /id being likely
to continue for the season, w have been com
pelled either to issue a supplement or change
the size of our type. Wo hav« preferred the latl
ter alternative, for various reauus. Supplements
are inconvenient and seldrn read, whilst the
elear minion type in whicl our editorial and
news columns are now set, Jvill enable us to
keep up the usual amountof reading matter,
and even lo extend it when accessary, without
serious inconvenience to Iho leader.

London, Friday Night, Nov. 16.—The Morning Herald,

pending between England and tbe United States.
U. S. Consnl Morse publishes a letter explaining the
agreement between the American government and
Frazer, Trenbo/m t Co. Ho says that tho title ot the
from all sections in relation to the present con
dition of political affairs. Chief Justice Chase,
Gen. Grant, and Majors General Sickles and Dix,
among others, hare freely given their views, all
of them being actuated by a sincere desire for
such action as may be best calculated to fully
restore the relations of the Southern States to the
General Government. The idea seems to be that
long as the executive and legislative branches
are divided in opinion, the South must remain
unrepresented in Congress. Hence the effort is
effect some arrangement to accommodate tbe
differences between them.
According to current representations the Presi
dent lends a willing ear te all suggestions in that
direction, but so far nothing definite has been
consummated. The Department of the State has
been informed that quarantine regulations of Hi-
vana, have been farther modified, so that vessels
leaving all ports of the United States, except from
Philadelphia and New Orleans, for ports in that
Island, with clean bills of health, shall be per
mitted to enter at once, and discharge their pas
sengers and cargoes. All vessels from Philadel
phia and New Orleans are to be quarantined three
days lor observation.

P
Several horses have died in Illinois
lately from the effects of bites of grasshop
pers. The horses take them into their moullis
in grazing, when the grasshoppers bite their
tongues and makes them so sore that they
will not cat, and so they starve to death.
Two citizens in Savannah, who were
sentenced to death by the Military Commis
sion, have been discharged from custody by
the United States District Court, on a writ of
Habeas Corpus, and turned over to the civil
authorities. These arc said to have been the
last military prisoners in Georgia.
United States Cotton Agenct.—The
office of United States Cotton Agent iu New
York, made vacant by the recent death of
Simeon Draper, is now filled by Mr, Francis
Robinson, late Assistant Agent.
227T Maj. Robert Beale, who was formerly
SOrgfeant-at-Arms of the United States Senate
and subsequently Warden of the District of
Columbia jail, died yesterday quite suddenly.
South Carolinian, 9th.
It seems unkind in the Confederates
to make so many charges against General
Butler. When he commanded a Federal ar
my, he did’nt make any upon them.
Prentice says:
As bad as the South is charged with being
to the negro, they never sent him to as bad a
place as the Massachusetts Legislature.
It i3 probable that such are now oar
elations with the Juarez Government that
United States troops trill very soon enter
Mexico.
Horace Greeley is a candidate for the
United States Senate and is supported by the
New York Herald.
J»S*tomo think that there is now no Congress known
to the Constitution. Quite as many think that there is
no Constitution known to Congress.

T HE General Assembly of the State of Gcorria.no*
in session, have, na their first complete act of Its-
islation, unanimously resolved as follows:
Whereas, It behooves all men to acknowledge their
dependence upon the Supreme Ruler of tbo Universe,
to be mindful of His providences, to return thanks f-r
His mercies arid blessings, to confess their sins, and to
importune His favor; Therefore,
Resolved by tho General Assembly of the State™
Georgia, That Iiis Excellence, the Governor, issue a:;
Proclamation, setting apart Thursday, the 22d inft-
as a day of fasting, humiliation and prayer, request
ing tbe same to be so observed by tho people of th-*
State. ,
Now. therefore, I, Charles J. Jenkins, Governor™
said State, by this, my Proclamation, call upon the
whole People of Georgia, male and female, old art
young, clergy and laity, to givo earnest heed to this
solemn invocation of their Law-Givers.
On the day appointed, let tho ordinary avocattoc"
of life be ruspended—let places of business and «j
P leasure be closed—let the temples of the living W*
e opened—let all the people surround the aims
where they are wont to worship; and let the Fnea
lead their hearts and minds in pious humiliation, re
pentance, thanksgivings and supplication. There x
cause for all. Ceremonious observances deceive non
but “God is not mocked.” Let therebehcartar.dws-
in the services of tho day. Let tho poor and the aes-
‘
titute bo remembered in our prayers—and in.they«f
following, let him that hath, provo his sincerity W 1 -'
Ib
largeness of his alms.
For sinning, not against Pharaoh, but against w*
