Robinson’s Circus. —The Columbus papers report several disturbances bo tween the citizens and showmen of this concern.

Such is radicalism and its chosen high priests. And yet we are called upon to fra ternize with the upholders ol' the unclean thing. Never let our people become the fol lowers and worshipers of this modern Baal. Senator Pomeroy is getting up a temperance society in the Capitol, or rather a society for the abolishment of abuses. Some illnatured wag insinu ates, that the Senator will be the first man abolished. This reminds us of the famous speech of Mr. Westcoitof Florida, who paint ed a sketch, black as. hades, of sional con option, and said the waters of the Potwmac could not cleanse that auge&n stable. When the carrion crows from Geor gia enter the Senate, the harpies who prey ttpoa the treasury will retire abash ed before the inroads of these practised cormoi ants?' s Neither Angier nor angel could re strain Bullock and his gang. Wonder if our dou’t intend to open a drinWlfg saloon, and gambling hell in the opera house. If he does, look out for stocked cards and loaded dice. The times a.e iudeed out of joint, when such creatures occupy the high p aces .of the country. {special to the Telegraph and Messenger.] Washington, February 22. —The Presi dent still refuses to meddle in the Geor gia Senatorial question. He told YVhite iy, Farrow and Tift.(?) yesterday, it was for the Senate to decide who should have seats He also expressed the hope that Georgia would be admitted before the Fifteenth Amendment shall have been declared adopted.

Dalton. #BT The canal across the Isthmus of Suez has been dredged to the depth of 2tf feet iu its shallowest part. A little six-year old was walking with his, v father, and asked; “What house is that?" “That is the Dutch Church,” was the reply. “People go there to be good, so that they may Le they be Dutch Specie Payments. A return to the old method of the redemption in specie upon presentation, of all paper issues, is simply impossible at this juncture. Such a proceeding would bankrupt the whole country. It is estimated that the proportion of gold and silver in the Treasury vaults, mid on deposit at the various banks of the Union, is about S3OO for every $2,- 400 in currency. By no process of elongation can the former be made to cover the latter, if an arbitrary edict should call for specie redemption. Again, such a procedure would add at least 20 per cent, to the entire debt of the country, as all money transac tions have been predicated upon a dis count of that amount, or more, upon the value of gold. Thus, if A buys a mule for S2OO in currency, with gold at a premium of 20 per cent, and is required to settle in spe cie, he must pay $240 in currency to meet his obligation. But experience will demonstrate that this bona fide redemption of paper in specie, has never been practicable or even possible, during the most prosper ous ante helium period. Tijis will be patent tm all, when it is remembered that our banks were usual, ly permitted by their charter to issue paper to the amount of three times the value of the specie in their vaults, and in the majority of cases, (he actual infla t:on of the circulating medium was even in a greater ratio. Hence, when a sus picion of the integrity of any bank offi cer, or other mis-manugement, induced a run upon the concern, unless checked by the promptest restoration of public confidence, a suspension, and assignation of assets, was the inevitable result The word confidence, is all that is nec essary in commercial transactions. Nor is it possible even to multiply coin and bulliou to such an extent, as actually to meet and cover, dollar for dollar, the amount of money actually needed on change. Avery general impression prevails that the country is flooded with green, backs, and therefore they must, in time, depreciate in maiket value, somewhat after the manner of the French assig nets, or our own Confederate currency. This is a great mistake, however. Sta tistical tables will show that, on the con trary, the combined circulation of all the national batiks, and legal tender notes, will fall far short of the paper money which was actually afloat in the country, at the breaking out of hostili ties in 1861. Take, for instance, the city of Savan nah. At present, her banking capital will fall short by several millions) what it was anterior to the war, and the same will apply to all parts of the South. 1 u former times, every respoctable vil lage boasted its bank oi bank agency, and money was so plentiful that 6 or 7 per cent, interest, was esteemed an ex cellent investment. ’despite the continuance of usury laws, from to 2} per cent, per month , is openly de manded and paid. The obvious cause of this, is the scar city of money and the demand for it. Again, the stringency of the money market is constantly augmented by the periodical redemption of United States bonds, as they mature, or are bought up by the Secretary of the Treasury.— These are in effect a part of the circula ting medium, as they pass from hand to hand, and are received in payment of debts, and the purchase of property.— Thus the paradox is presented of in creased financial stringency, and multi plied failures of business houses, pro portioned to the reduction of the nation al debt, and the consequent contraction of the circulating medium. It must be remembered, also, that practically, all the gold and silver of the country has been retired, and is hoarded up in idle ness. In the every-day transactions of busi. ness, specie coufers no benefit, for it will not pass, in the usual manner, at par, and the people are not posted as to its rela tive value, and dont wish to be eneum bered with it. In conclusion, we would remark, that in our judgment two solutions alone can he found for our financial difficulties.— The first consists in the wholesale re pudiation of the national debt. We do not propose to argue this point at pres ent, but will simply say, that owing to the extravagance and corruption of the government, the alienation of the south ern people, and the disaffection of the West, under the burden of oppressive taxation, this result may be nearer at hand, than the luxurious bend holder may imagine. The other is to be found, m the fur ther expansion of the national currency to meet the demands of commerce. Unless Congress will take this step, money must become tighter, and the rates of interest increase, to the sad det riment of the small capitalist and the labeling classes. Whether they will afford this relief or not is at present suspended in doubt.— In the mean time, | £|fsi|ji on ty colinse ' economy in all expenditures, and the curtailment of the speculating mania. In times like these, better furl our sails and ling the shores of safety, than adventure into unknown seas, without chart or compass. Patience and pru dence should our watchwords.

Afternoon Session —Senate^ —A mes sage was received from the House, an nouncing that that body had concurred in the Senate resolution, to pay officers of the General Assembly, etc, with the following amendment, ‘authorized by the Constitution of Georgia,’ and by striking out the word ‘employees.’ * On motion of Mr. Harris, the Senate refused to concur in the amendments. The Senate then took another recess, and reassembled after half an hour’s in termission. A message was received from the House, announcing that that body had receded from its amendments to the Sen ate resolution. On motion of Mr. Harris, Senate took another recess, this time until 12 M., April 18, unless sooner convened. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. House called to order at the hour of 3 P. M.

The “Colored Vote.” The New York Sun says there ars 850,000 colored voters, of whom -790,000 dwell in the sixteen late slave-holding States. Leaving 60,000 fur all the oth ers. Os these sixty thousand, 7,500 are in New England, 41,000 in the five cen tral States of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, and 8,500 in the remaining ten western States. In particular Mates there are in Delaware, 4,500; Maryland, 34,000, which are larger figures that the Demn cratic majorities in those States. In Connecticut there are 2,000 : in New Jersey, 4,500, and in New York fully 12,000; in Pennsylvania, 13,000; in Ohio more than 8,000, and in Kentucky not far from 42,000, which the Sun thinks will seriously endanger or reverse the Democratic majorities in all those States, and therefore the Sun warns the Democratic party against making any fight against the colored brethren. The Fifteenth Amendment is un doubtedly a nicely laid plan to insure permanent Radical ascendency in the United States, but the proverb says such plans “gang aft aglee.” The plan to carry the South by negro votes the Radicals themselves admit will not be worth a bean straw unless supplemen. ted by force and fraud. It is a water power good so long as you carry the water up hill and let it run down. And iu relation to the other Staes, we ini' agine the scheme will be hardly fixed up before the Radicals will find that n«w issues—the tariff and labor ques tions for illustration—have disarranged party organizations to an extent which will seriously 7 epnfuse calujjations based on a supremacy secured by the negro vote.— Sav. News. Bad Accident on the Central Rail road. —We have information of the fol lowing sad aecident which happened on the Central Railroad on Wednesday.— The annexed facts will explain the oc currence and show that no blame can be attached to the road : ‘An empty lumber train going up on the Central Railroad stopped at the seventy-six mile post to wood-up, and while there, two boys made their appearance. The elder one of these boys got on the train and beckoned to his little brother to do likewise, and in the attempt he fell b< - tween two cars while the train was in motion and had both legs broken, one car passing over him. The train was immediately stopped as soon as the ac cident became known and the little hoy properly cared for, the road authorities promptly dispatching to bis father. It exacted that he can recover 'from*' his injuries.’ While no blame can be attached to the authorities of the road, the accident shows how much prudence and caution should bo exei - cised by Conductors of trains, especial ly those devoted exclusively to freight purpose . buuce writing the above we learn that tl e boys were the sons of Mr. Davis, who was formerly an overseer on that section of the road, but now in the em ploy of the Atlantic & Gulf Railroad, and absent from home, and that the in jure 1 boy, whose name was Wingfield, died fn>m his injuries yesterday.— Sav. From Washington* Wtshtnfim, Fa hr u ary 21.—House— On the regular calls, among the bills is one removing all disabilities in States adopting and conforming their laws t<> the Fifteenth Amendment; another gua anteeing the right of entry a o States of citizens whose State Consti tutions make restitutions on account of race and color. A resolution instructing the Currency Committee to report a bill increasing the currency five millions, passed by a vote of ISO to 73. Among the bills introduced today are the inflowing : For abolishing the Bureau of Education in the Fi eedtwm’s Bureau; fur incorporating the Missbsip pie Valley, land and river improvement. A resolution declaring po, k packers not taxable as manufacturers, and di recting the taxes that have been col lected to be refunded, created confusion, during which the morning hours expired. The question recurs next M< ndav,# The Judiciary Committee reported that the evidence against Judge Bus teed, of Alabama, was not sufficient to cause impeachment. The Committee were, therefore, discharged from lur ther consideration of the Busteed case The Disability bill from the Senate was amended by a vast number of names from the House and passed.— The bill returns to the Senate for con currence. The Military Committee reported unanimous'y on the resolution expelling Whittemore, of South Carolina, lot cadet corruptions. - House adjourned. * . Tue House votes on the expulsion on Wednesday. Senate —ln the Senate a resolution is up to give General Fitz John Potter a re hearing. Chandler is Phillipping against Pope’s campaign with headquarters in the sad dle. A bill was introduced to declare the ratification of the Fifteenth Amend ment. Also, a bill to abolish the Freed* men’s Beaureau and to establish a bu reau of education, which shall coope rate with all other educational organi zations throughout the United States.for the education of all classes, was-report ed. The following bills were passed : To sell or exchange the site for a custom house in Nashville, in order to obtain a more suitable location ; to change the boundaries of the collection district of Brazos de Santiago, Texas; reorgani zing the marine hospital service, arid for the relief of sick and disabled seamen ; to pay for iron light-house at Cape Can averal, Florida. The Senate then adjourned. Tiie Georgia Senators.— The follow ing, from a Washington special to the New York Times, may afford some clue to the drift of Radical sentiment regard ing - our State : The new Senators elected by the Georgia Legislature are not up, in point of character and standing, to what was hoped for from the regeuated Legisla ture of that Slate. Mr. Blodgett only is well known here, but is probably the least popular of any one of the pro mi uent Republicans of Georgia. Mr. Far row, elected to supersede Joshua Hill, is the present Attorney General of the State, and is said to be a very able and popular man. lie has not been much identified with the quarrels of the fno tions in the Stale. Mr. vVhitwly, elected for the short term, was the Republican, candidate for Congress in the Third Dis trict, but was defeated by his Democrat ic competitor, Nelson 'Lilt. What the result wilbbe, it is impossible to It J.-oks now as there would be agreat muddle in the matter. It is not fit all probable that the House will declare Georgia entitled to representation, except upon conditions such as have boon imposed upon "Vir ginia and Missippi. The Judiciary Committee of the Senate, it is under* stood, will hold that anew declaration of the right of tiie State to representa tion is unnecessary, and that the cre dentials of Hill and Miller are prop erly before it for cou.-ideration. Should they be over ruled by the Senate, and the House proposition be concurred in, then the whole question of tiie validity of the old Legislature will come tip for decis ion in this case. Tiieie would seem to be no way out of the question, except through the position ot General Terry, that tiie act of December 22, 1868, takes in connection vvitli the previous acts of reconstruction, placed the gov ernment of the State oil a provisional basis,, with its action wholly subject to revisions by Congress. The Election for Senators —The third section of the third article„of the new Constitution of Georgia reads thus : “A majority of each House shall consti tute a quorum to transact business, but a similar number may adjourn from day to day, and compel the presence of the absent members as each House may provide.” The House consists of 175 members, and hence 88 are necessary to transact business. It has time and again been decided in past sessions of the Assem bly, and is a recognized parliamentary taw, that unless a majority of the whole J ouse voted, a question was not settled. Under this constitutional test, the election for Senators is simply invalid. In no case was an aggregate of 88 votes cast. The entire vote in Blodgett’s case was 85; in Farrow’s 80; in Whiteley’s, 83—none.reaching to 88, the requisite number to make the election good— while Blodgett received 12 illegal, or “next highest” voles, Farrow and Whit;'ey the sane, reducing tUTaggrei gate still more. We simply 7 put this on record as one of the illegalities of this re-construc tion.— Atlanta Constitution. Congressionat. Washington, Februa ry 19. — House —The House proceeded with the consideration of ihe appropria tions. There is no quorum, nud a call of the House is now proceeding. A bill was introduced and referred to provide for the stay of execution in cer tain cases This bill is intended to offer some relief against the operation of re cent legislative decisions. It gives a stay of execution on all judgments foun ded on debts contracted prior to the 11-th of July, 1862—date of passage of the first legal tender act—for from one to fi.tii* years, ae-cording to amount, but provides that if the plaintiff in such judgment will receive pay iu currency, there shall be no stay, and that when ever specie pavn e ts a e resumed, all stays under the act shall terminate.

The Circus vs. the Church. —Last Tuesday night there were some 2500 persons at Robinson’s circus. Tin y gathered in a rushing tide.from every point of the compass, as if their hopes lbr lime and eternity hinged upon ad mittance, and that, too, when they had to pay a doilar r.o get in. Those were there who could not, have given 5 cents to relieve the distress or promote reli gion or any oilier good .engse. ALJjie four exhibitions of the circus we have no doubt but that money i-nough was spent to have built a neat church in the city and repaired the others; or to have fenced in the fair grounds and bought a town clock. We haven’t the least doubt that many persons, black and while, were there, who had not enough to e.'tt the next day. How excitable and short sighted we poor devils are.— To-day six or eight city churches will he open. It requires no sacrifice of time, or business or money to go, and yet we will insure there are not 2500 persons at all of them.
