Atlanta, July 24,1868. i “ Gov.” Bullock has sent a lengthened mes- ; ' sage to both Houses. He calls attention to legislation made neces-I J sary by the new constitution, in the prohibition ' ' of lotteries, dueling, sale of liquor, etc. He urges the passage of bills of relief and I ■homestead exemption. | , Dwelling upon the provision for general edu-1 , cation, he puffs the Yankee school marms most ( ' fervently. I, He is non-committal on the subject of a State ! militia. . , He hints at giving county officers elect a I showing, whether they can c-au give the requi- ! site bonds or not. He recommends getting up a big thing for , paupers. He praises the management of the State ; Road, and thanks Provisional Governor Ruger for l.is able administration. He was eloquent about Federal relations and removal of disabilities. He closes by a survey of the internal re sources of Georgia. In the Senate, a bill was introduced to repeal the requirement that Judges of the Superior : "Court reside in the county twelve months prior I to election. A resolution was offered to elect Senators on : Tuesday. It is proposed to elect State officers to-mor-' TOW. A committee was appointed to investigate the affairs of the State Road. A stay bw is proposed prescribing that no | property sha’l be levied upon prior to Febru- : ary, 1873. Three resolutions were offered and passed ! petitioning Congress to remove disabilities from all citizens of Georgia. The vote stood : Yeas, ! 117 ; nays, 20. Bryant and Tweedy voted nay. i Turner (negro) urged its adoption. The military commission has adjourned sine 1 die. The prisoners will be bailed on a bond of; $2,000 each, to answer any charge which may ! be brought against them. Joe Brown and Foster Blodgett are consid- ■ cred politically defunct. Bullock may furnish them something out of his pap-bottle, but if signs are not fallacious, they have little to hope from the General Assembly, so-called. (Associated Press Dispatches. Savannah, July 20. There was an immense gathering of Demo crats and Conservatives at Masonic Hall to rati fy the nominations of the New York Conven tion. Resolutions were adopted endorsing the platform, &c. After adjournment a grand procession was formed, consisting of fire com panies, railroad employees, boat and base ball clubs, colored Conservative clubs and citizens, carrying torches, transparencies, &c. After marching through the principal streets it pro ceeded to Court House Square, where it was addressed by distinguished sneakers Houses were generally illuminated throughout •the city. The greatest enthusiasm prevailed. Savannah, July 31. A quarrel took place between members of a negro excursion party on board the steamer Ajax to-day. Four negroes were dangerously stabbed, and a drunken negro fell overboard and was drowned. Savannah, July 22—Noon. A difficulty occurred last night, in a drinking saloon, between Wm. Robert Hopkins, tax receiver, and Issac Russell, deputy sheriff, re sulting in the shooting of Hopkius, killing him instantly. Russell claims to have acted in self defense. The affair caused a great excitement among the negroes, who, at a signal of the drumj assembled several hundred strong, armed i with guns and clubs, threatening to lynch Rus- I sell and demolish his house. Learning that j Russell had been taken to jail they proceeded j to attack it, but were dispersed by the police. ■ The excitemcnthas somewhat abated this morn | ing. The prompt obcyance of the signal shows ■ the negroes are fully organized in this city. Atlanta, July 22. K. B. Bullock was inaugurated Governor at | noon. His address is brief and laudatory of | the Republican party and condemnatory of the i President’s policy. He says experience has proved the wisdom and justice of conferring suffrage ou the freedmen. A national salute was tired in honor of the event. Gen. Meade and Staff were present at the ceremony, which passed off quietly.. Both Houses adjourned over till’lo, a. m„ Friday. The military court, commissioned for the trial of the Columbus prisoners, dissolved to day, in compliance with the following order from General Meade to General Sibley, Presi dent of .Commission: Headquarters Third Military District, July 21, 1868.—General : lu view of the ac tion of the Legislature to-day, and the proba ble immediate admission of Georgia and cessa tion of military authority, the commanding Genera] directs that the commission of which you are President suspend proceedings in the trial of the prisoners charged with the murder of Ashburn. The prisoners will be retained in custody until further orders. Court adjourned till Friday. All the witnesses for the prosecution have left for the North. • The city is crowded with visitors to the Dem ocratic mass meeting. Atlanta, July 23. Gen. Meade has issued the following order: Headq’rs Third Military District, ) Department of Ga., Fla. and Ala., > Atlanta, Ga., July, 22, 1868. ) General Orders, No. 103. Whereas, Official information has been re ceived at these headquarters from the Governor elect of the State of Georgia that the Legisla ture of said State, elected under the provisions of General Orders Nos. 39 and 40, current se ries, from these headquarters, has assembled and complied with the requisitions of the act ot Congress, which became a law June 25, 1868, entitled an act to admit the States of North Carolina, South Carolina, Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama and Florida to representation in Con gress ; and, whereas, said act states that on compliance with the conditions therein set forth by any State, the officers of said State, duly elected and qualified under the constitu tion thereof, shall be inaugurated without de lay ; it is therefore ordered, I. That all civil officers, holding office in the State, whether by military appointment or by failure to have successors qualified, shall promptly yield their office and turn over to their duly elected, and qualified successors all public property, archives, books, records, &e., belonging to the same. 11. Whenever the military commander of the sub-district of Georgia is officially notified of the inauguration of the State government elect, military authority under the acts of Congress, known as the reconstruction law, will be at an end in said State ; and it is made the duty of the sub-district commander to transfer every thing appertaining to the government of said State to the proper civil officers, and to abstain in future, upon any pretext whatever, from any interference with or control over the civil au thorities of the State, or the persons and pro perty of the citizens thereof. 111. On the inauguration of the civil govern ment, all prisoners held in custody or by bonds tor offenses against the civil law, will be turn ed over to the proper civil authority. Io the meantime writs of habeas corpus from the Uni ted States Courts will be respectfully obeyed and the decisions conformed to. Writs from State courts will have respectful returns made, stating prisoners are held by authority of the United States, and can only be released by writs issued by the United States Courts. By order of Major General Meade. S. F. Barstow, Acting Assistant Adjutant General. Executive DKnAnr.’VRNT. 3 Atlanta, Ga., July 22d, 1868. ) Edwin F. Blodgett, Esq., of the county of Richmond, is hereby appointed Aide de Camp to the Governor, with the rank of Colonel. Ofticers and soldiers are requested to respect and obey him accordingly. By order of the Coromander-in Chief. Rufus B. Bullock, Governor. B. B. DeGraffenretd, Secretary Executive Department. The Democracy had to-day the most bril liant turn out ever known in Georgia. A grand mass meeting and procession. Addresses were made by Generals Toombs and Cobb, and Hon. B. H. Hill, opposing the reconstruction acts as unconstitutional, and hoping for the success of Seymour and Blair ; pledging the South to the support of the Constitution and Union of the States, as handed down by our fathers. The following resolution was adopted : Resolved, That the Democracy of Georgia, in mass meeting assembled, do hereby heartily approve and endorse the principles enunciated in the platform adopted by the National Demo cratic Convention, held in the citj’ of New York, July 4,1868, and that to Horatio Sey mour, of New York, and Francis P. Blair, of Missouri, the nominees of that convention for President and Vice-President, the Democracy of Georgia will give a cordial and united sup port. Atlanta, July 24. The military commission for the trial of the Columbus prisoners met this morning. There being no business before the court, on motion, it adjourned sine die. The Columbus prisoners are remanded to the custody of the post comandant at Columbus, aud will be released on $2,000 bail each, for fu ture appearance, in case called on. The House passed the following by a vote of 117 to 20: Resolved, That we respectfully and earnestly i petition the Congress of the United States to j remove from every citizen of Georgia, irre | spective of party association, the disabilities ' imposed by the third section of the proposed I amendment to the Constitution of the United > States, known as article fourteen. The Democratic demonstration closed last | night with a grand torch-light procession. The city was brilliantly illuminated. The crowds ; dispersed at miduight, cheering for Seymour : and Blair. Atlanta, July 25. Senate.—Mr. Candler offered the following: Whereas, ex-Governor Brown—one of the | ablest lawyers in the Republican party ot ■ Georgia—as well as other persons di.-tinguished | for knowledge of constitutional law, held dur ing the late election canvass that persons of color were not entitled to hold seats as Sena tors on this floor; and, Whereas, Laws of vital importance to the people of Georgia are to be enacted by the General Assembly, the validity of which should not be made uncertain because of participation in enactment by persons not entitled under the constitution to participate; therefore ,be it Resolved, That the Committee of Privileges and Elections be directed to inquire into the eligibility of several persons of color holding seats as Senators and report at the earliest day practicable. Mr. Hungerford (Rad.) said there is a higher opinion than Gov. Brown’s. A United States Senator has settled it who holds a higher office than Brown yet held. I mean Sumner, who in ■ a letter said there is no reason why colored persons shall not hold office or anything else any one can under the Constitution of the United States. The passage of the fourteenth article settles that question forever in Georgia. The constitution of this State proclaims that i all persons, born or naturalized, whose resi dence is here, are citizens of the State; no law shall be made to abridge their privileges. Does it simply mean may breathe and work, or are entitled to all privileges of American citizens ? lune for color has passed. The resolution was defeated. /i J uesd , Inst , was appointed i Btat<^ofliccrs° U ° uiled ® tates Senators and ’ B ' ° r n . a . nd J o3ter Blt,<1 sett were nomi . nated candidates for Senators by the Repnbli : can party. No choice has been made by the ! Democrats. J Our New York Correspondence. New York, July 18. 1 he reaction in favor of Gov. Seymour is already most marked. In those circles where his nomination created the most dis appointment—among those no-party men, who insisted that Secretary Chase should be the candidate, the feeling* of dssatisfac tion with the nomination of Gov. Seymour has passed away, and the conviction is gaining ground that, after all, the conven tion could not have done better, had it acted with the sole view of availability. The fact is, before the Presidential cam paign fairly opened, Messrs. Chase and Sey mour were recognized by all thinking men as the foremost statesmen of their respective parties, and the hope was often expressed in miscellaneous circles that the future ot the country should be secured by their being named as opposing candidates for the Presidency. But the small beer Radical politicians, in disregard of the rank and tile of their party, have brought forward Gen. Grant, of whom it is every day observed that he cannot aspire to the Presidency in 1868, with any more propriety than could Secretary Chase have demanded in 1868 to be placed at the head of the army. Con sequently, as people reflect, and recall the views they formed in cooler moments, the more they are inclined to support Mr. Sey mour, and the canvass in his behalf is mak ing the most rapid progress. Another circumstance is adding to the strength of Seymour, or rather demoral izing the Republicans. They begin to be suspicious that the election of Grant will be the perpetuation of the dynasty of Sew ardism, against which they have been struggling for the last five years; against which Ben Wade and Winter Davis fulmi nated in 1864. They see a large number of Sewardites in prominent positions—they see Mr. Evarts foisted into the Cabinet for the purpose of forestalling Gen. Grant’s action, should he be elected. Another Sew ardite—one of “ Wadsworth’s assassins”— has been made the Republican candidate for Governor of this State, and the Radicals must see—they do see—that Seward is again drawing his meshes around them, and the only hope they have for shaking off his thraldom is by electing Gov. Seymour, aud in this view thousands of Radicals will vote the Democratic ticket. We had the first declaration of war from old Thad Stevens yesterday, in the House of Repre sentatives, when he said, (discussing the manner of paying the publ'c debt): “ What was that lafv ? That the interest should be paid up to a certain time at 6 per cent, in coin. After the bonds fell due they would be payable in mofiey, just as the gen tleman from Illinois (Ross) understood it; just as he (Mr. Stevens) understood it; just as all understood it when the law was enacted; just as it was explained on the floor a dozen times by the chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means. If he knew that any party in the country would go for paying in coin that which was payable in money, thus enhancing the debt one-half; if he knew there was such a platform and such a determination on the part of his own party, HE WOULD. WITH FRANK BLAIR AND ALL, VOTE FOR THE OTHER PARTY. He would vote for no such swindle on the tax-payers of the country. He would vote for no such speculation in favor of the large bondholders and millionaires. He repeat ed (though it was hard to say it,) THAT EVEN IF FRANK BLAIR STOOD ON PLATFORM OF PAYING ACCORDING TO THE CONTRACT, AND IF THE RE PUBLICAN CANDIDATE STOOD ON THE PLATFORM OF PAYING BLOAT ED SPECULATORS TWICE THE AMOUNT AGREED TO BE PAID TO THEM, OF HIS CON- STITUENTS TO DEATH, HE WOULD VOTE FOR FRANK BLAIR, EVEN IF A WORSE MAN THAN SEYMOUR WAS ON THE TICKET.” As may well be imagined, this has cre ated a violent sensation in Radical circles, and the number who profess themselves ready to follow “ Old Thad ” is very large. It is’ true, the finances are the pretext for this bolt, but a determination to overthrow Sewardlsm is the real motive, and the De mocracy are to be congratulated that the Secretary of State has taken position against them. The veteran Pennsylva nian’s tactics have effectually spiked one of the biggest guns of the Tribune, and Ho race is inconsolable. Mr. Greeley’s party tactics have always been of the nature of going hungry one’s self in order to make ths display of magnanimity which he thinks pertains to giving always his din ner to one who has already dined, and, of course, with the prospect of still going hungry, if Gen. Grant be elected. He is working furiously to elevate those who will kick the’ ladder they have climeddown upon his own head. He wouldn't be Gree ley if he didn’t. Not so Mr. Stevens ; and this blow of his is quite likely to be follow ed by others even more effective. I would here offer a word of caution to Southern Democrats who may make public speeches during the campaign. They should avoid threats, or improbable anticipations. Some remarks that have fallen from Gen. Hampton, Gov. Wise and Gov. Vance, torn from their context, are going the rounds of the Radical press with considerable effect. When President Seymour shall be inaugu rated, he will proceed with due reference to the circumstances that may exist at the time. That will be ample season in which the Southern people may put forth their claims upon him. Ido not anticipate much from him, except a vigorous check upon Radical administration; the overturn of the tenure-of-ofiice bill, and the extension to the Southern people the political and moral support of the Federal administra tion, more effectively, because more wisely than President Johnson has been able to extend such support; himself sustained by a more powerful body of friends in Con gress, and not thwarted by the Freedman’s Bureau. Tiie reaction which the North seems to anticipate is more likely to come with the co-operation of'he negroes than without or against them. BUSINESS MATTERS. Gold is advancing on the financial situa tion. We shall have nothing to export for two months at least, and in the meantime gold must go forward in large sums to pay for our unaccountably large importations. Mr. Stevens’ speech (cited above) has also aided the bulls. The fraudulent operations in stocks have driven speculation from them, and the favorable prospects for the crops destroyed speculative confidence therein. Therefore, there is no means of speculation except in gold and real estate. All this may be changed, very suddenly; if so, “ stand from under” gold. THE WEATHER. A letter from New York: would but illy portray the state of the city, did we not fa vor our readers with a disquisition upon the weather, which has, of late, been the all-absorbing topic. Thermometers, and the height thereof, have been the subjects of continual and unceasing inquiry, and everywhere upon the streets unlucky pe destrians might have been seen pursuing their way, hat in one hand, the other grasp ing a palmetto lan. Various have been the precautions taken, umbrellas being quite the rage, to say nothing of wet handker chiefs and cabbage leaves upon the heads of those who retained their hats upon the crowns for which they were originally destined. These precautions were by no means to be despised, for the weather has, with but little intermi-sion, been of an in tensity which it is fearful to think of, and decidedly worse to experience. If we had been favored with but some little inter mission—some cool moments during which the exhausted system might gather strength —cool nights for instance—matters would not have been so bad; but instead of this, through sweltering nights too warm for sleep, we have lain awake aud wish ed for the day, and during the day we have looked forward to evening with an in distinct idea that night should be Cooler than day. Umbrellas, cabbage leaves, wet handkerchiefs, etc., etc., were meanwhile by no means vain precautions, for the dan ger to life from the degree of heat through which we have passed has been far from imaginary. Very real, indeed, we should judge, if the number of deaths by heat fur nish a criterion. The startling fact is an nounced that these have reached the num ber of seven hundred and . forty-six during the last few days. Not only upon man, but upon the brute creation has this state fallen heavily. The greatest mortality has, of course, prevailed among the car and om nibus horses, many of these poor, over driven creatures having fallen dead in their tracks, while their places have been taken onlj’ by others equally worn out and inca pable of resistance to the burdens imposed upon them. During one day it is said that no less than fifty of this unfortunate class of animals perished from the heat. On the whole, it is computed that the average de gree of heat which we have endured for the past two weeks has not been equalled for twenty-five years, and in view of these things, it is no wonder that “the weather,” usually so tame and uninteresting a topic of conversation, and one brought forward when all others fail, and generally only to relieve an “ awful pause,” should lately have been the theme of all others ; there fore, too, we may be pardoned so long a dis quisition on the weather. Let us exhaust this topic by remembering that during the last day or two Providence has sent a cool er change, and the degree of heat we now endure is at least endurable. FASHIONABLE CHURCHES. Warm weather has, of course, a pecu liarly enervating effect upon the clergy ; those only, however, giving way to its in fluences who enjoy large salaries from con gregations of wealth}- churches. In conse quence, the sacred edifices over which they preside are fast being closed, the poorer souls who remain being left to wander about as best they may until the return of the wealthy, for whose benefit it may be worth while to resume the labor of preach ing the Gospel. Both fashionable congre gations and city clergy may find them selves served up in French style ere another season at the watering-places rolls around, for it is understood that Madame la Comtesse de la Moliere, a lady of some literary repute in France, is this summer engaged in taking notes of the different phases of American society as they come under her observation at the principal places of resort, preparatory to publishing a work upon the subject. It is somewhat hard that the South, especially the women of the South, noted for their high refinement of manner and fastidious delicacy, should be classed with, and judg ed of, by the bold and pushing women who “ most do congregate ” at the summer re sorts. Let us hope some distinction may be made, yet this, however, will not be the first nor only injustice which has been done the South, so greatly wronged, as she has been, in almost every particular. Willoughby. W eekly Review of Augusta Market Augusta, Ga.. July 25,1868—P. M.) OFFICE BOARD OF TRADE, ) COTTON.—The market has been dull and inactive during the entire week. There was some little de mand atone time for manufacturing purposes, bu tianswtions limited. Prices have been unchanged, and at close nf ddlinga were nominally quoted at 30c. The sales of the week foot up 273 bales, and the re ceipts 72 bales. FINANCIAL.—There has been a good demand for Gold and Silver during the week, at unchanged rates. There baa been a heavy demand for Securities, but there was not much offering. PROVISIONS AND TRADE GENERALLY— There lias been a slight improvement in trade during the week. A number of Country Merchants were in town to supply interior stocks, which gave a little im petus to trade. Stocks are fair, and prices given in our Prices Current.
