quent to the passage of the set of Dec. 22,
18G9, had bean appointed to the command of
Georgia as a military district tinder the act of
Msrefrfi, 1867.
A statement is then made of the action of
General Terry in directing the exclusion of
certain persona from the Legislature until
their cares should be favorably reported upon
by a Military zommimaan he organised,
Ibree members elect were thus excluded, and
the admission of other persons was delayod

mittees is constrained to aay that in its opin
ion the beforementionod action of the milita

Legislature elected in Georgia was intended
by Cougreae to take the place of the Provisional
Government as a permanent one. This seems
pesfootly dear, and the mme view was taken

My Dear Lady Mordaunt: Many th;ink.s for

am veiy glad to hear thatyoulike the ponies,
but I hope they will be well driven before you
attempt to drive them, as I know tin v are fresh.
They belonged originally to the Princess Jary,
who drove tnem for some years, and when she
married not wanting them just then, I bought
them from her. ,
I am not surprised that you hav. had no

to hunt to-morrow, as a thaw has set in. Wt

rink—to the left of us and to tho right of us-
e very where from tho foiled followers of Hill
and Toombs were heard denunciations of Bul
lock, Blodgett, Farrow and the Radicals gen-
erally. Judge McCoy was denounced, 1 »ecause,
forsooth, he was supposed to favor the last re-
construction act, and tho measures adopted for
its enforcement, and, therefore, the Democratic
press was in travail for fear tho judicial ermine
would be soiled. Their respect for the purity
of the cloth was great, and was only exceeded
by their desire to have the judges express an
opinion favorable to tho seating of the ineligi
ble members. Consistency is certainly a great
jewel. I would hold up these two pictures.
Judge McCoy opened not his mouth, but
was often seen in conversation with leading
Radicals, and, therefore, was supposed to be
in sympathy with them. For this he was
denounced by the unterrified, as a political
judge, and the bench was said to be disgraced
by him. But Chief Justice Brown did enter the
arena of politics and gave an opinion favorable
to Democracy, which occupied a large space in
the Conservative papers, and in the estimation
of his lately estranged friends “Old Joe”
was himself again, a paragon of perfection,
the man for the times—in fact tho coming
man. His opinion was pointed to with
pride, and there was mL man in oil Georgia
so great as “Old Joe.” Nothing was now
&ti<l of tho judicial ermine. In the old ex-
Govemor’s case that was safe. It was only
RaiHruN and “scallawags” that could bemire
Th( fear that Judge McCoy might express
a political opinion favorable to Republicanism
endangi red the immaculateness of the judicial
cipin.’: l it the fact that Chief Justice Brown
did express an opinion favorable to Demoera-
fiivor of seating the ineligible mem-
s to have increased its purity. But
to dap the climax, now that tho Chief Justice
hail spoken, when he ought to have kept silnet,
the Democracy," headed by their new found al-
lv, a disappointed Republican, asked General

My Dear lady Mordaunt: Many thanks for
your kind latter, which I received just before
we left Danrobin, and I have beat so busy
here that I have been unable to answer it be
fore. I am glad to hear that you are flourish
ing at Walton, and hope your husband baahad
good mart with the partridges.
We have hod a charming stay at Danrobin,
from the 19th of September to tho 7th of this
month. Our party consisted of the Sandwich
Grosvenors, (only for a few days,! Sumners,
Bakers, F. Marshal, Alnded Ronald Gower,
Sir 11. Peely Obvett, (who did not look so had
in a kilt os yon heard,) Haoeell and Falkiner,
and Sam Buckley, (who looked first rate in his
kflt)
I was about three or fdhr days in the Keay
Forest with the Grosvenom. I shot four stags.
My total was twenty-one.
John thanks you very much for yonr photo,
nnd I received two very good ones, accompani
ed by a charming epistle, from your sister.
We or* on delighted with Hamilton’s mar
riage, and I ttrink yon are rather hard on the
young lady, re, although not exactly pretty,
she is very nice looking, has charming man
ners, and is very popular with every one.
From his letter, hie seems to be very much in
love—a rare occurrence nown^days.
I will see what I con do in getting a presen
tation for the son of Mrs. Bradshaw for the
Royal Asylum of London, St Ann's Society.
London is very empty, but I have plenty to
do, no time does not go slowly, and I go down
shooting to Windsor snd Richmond occasion

On the 26th I shall shoot with General Hull
at Newmarket; the following week at Knowl-
sey; and then at Windsor and Sandringham,
before we go abroad. This will probably be
on the 18th or 19th of next month.
You told me when I lost saw you that you
were probably going to Paris in November;
but I suppose you have given it up. I saw by

the confidence reposed in him by the people
was evinced by repeated re-elections, and yet
no sooner had he announced himself favorable
to the reconstruction policy of Congress than he
was denounced as a man without character and
■without ability. A Union man, he presided
at the last Union meeting in this State, but
like many others whoso hearts were not in
tho cause, he was drawn into tho maelstrom
of rebellion. Since the overthrow of the re
bellion he has been Chairman of the Republi
can State Committee, and to his native shrewd
ness and indefatigible labors the party is very
greatly indebted for its victories. His nomin
ation by tho party as a candidate for the Sen
ate, and his selection to that high post of
honor was a foregone conclusion. For tho
party to have set him aside would have been
aglaruig exhibition of base ingratitude, and
in honoring Foster Blodgett it has only hon
ored itself On this subject more anon.
Col. Farrow, Senator elect for the unexpired
term ending March, 1873, is a native of South
Carolina; graduated with high honors at the
University of Virginia, studied law, and soon
after his admission to the bar, removed to this
State, where he speedily tojbk high rank in his
profession; was a Union man down to the
breaking out of the rebellion, and after the
surrender of the Confederate armies, early
to< >k advanced ground in favor of reconstrnc-
tion; was a prominent candiciato for Governor
of Georgia, and after the election of Governor
Bullock, became Attorney General, in which
office he more than sustained his reputation
as a lawyer, and furnished additional evidence
that he us a gentleman of enlarged ideas. To
say that his election to the Senate of the Uni
ted States is an honor worthily bestowed,
would be a work of supererogation.
Of CoL Whteley, elected to fill tho nnexpired
term, ending March, 1871,1 will now only say
that L • is recognized as.. gentleman of learn
ing and a lawyer of ability. He was a mem
ber of the late Constitutional Convention of
this State, in which body he took a prominent
and leading part. Of unimpeachable integri
ty, be commands (he respect of all who know
him. Liko CoL Blodgett, CoL Whitoley is a
native of Georgia, bnt notwithstanding that,

according to the late act of Congress, As in
terpreted by the Attorney General, C"! Fur
row—one of the Senators elect—misrepresen
tations of every description, made to order,
found their way into print, and famished texts
upon which Democratic editors discoursed
most eloquently. Some, with the frown of
Jupiter, threatened, and with a wonderfol dis
play of legal accumen, declared the action of
the Governor, as interpreted by them, and
from information, received from every source
bnt the right source, contrary to all law, as in
terpreted by leading Republican mii-ds at
Washington, and in direct opposition to die ex
pressed wish of the President and Lis ad
visers, and, therefore, the C tioi* would
be removed and the Legislature, ^er.nized,
would be declared an illegal body. General
Terry said these wise-acres, had trr* Tended
his powers, exceeded his instructions and,
therefore had earned the everlasting d«p*eas
tro of General Sherman. If these rampant
editors are to be believed, Sherman expressed
himself in no doubtful or uncertain language,.
S vc vent to curses not loud but deep, pulled

around Washington showed undisputed sym-
toms of a hydrophobic tendency, and conse
quently, Gen. Terry would be relieved, and all
that was done and doing would be undone,
and the? leaders of this outrage (!) upon the
liberties of the dear people would be hurled

taking account of them. If we make this de
duction the increase in this item will be bnt
$856, or the additional interest for two months
on the addition to the principal. The debt
bearing interest in lawful money was $71,140,-
000 on the 1st of March 1869, and on the 1st
of March, 1870, it was $59,685,000, showing a
decrease of $11,585,009—this being the amount
of three per cent certificates redeemed daring
the year in excess of woed. On
March 1, 1869, the accrued interest on tho law
ful money debt was $784,250, and on March 1,
1870, $525,550, a decrease of $258,700. This
decrease is in the interest on tho three per
cent certificates, which lias been nearly all
paid up to the 1st of January, 1870, though
the amount unpaid is estimated at four months.
The matured debt on tliq 1st of March, 1869,
was $6,422,463 G4, and on the 1st of March,
1870, it was $3,973,340 64, a decrease of $2,-
449,117. The matured debt interest account
March 1, 1869, was $851,605 79, and March 1,
1870, it was $524,048 37, a decrease of $327,-
617 42. All of this decrease arises from the
payment of old matured debt and the unpaid
interest upon it. This concludes the comparison
of the interest-bearing debt. The United
States notes outstanding March 1, 1869, were
$356,021,073, and on the 1st of March, 1870, it
was $356,109,978 50, an increase of $88,905 50.
This increase is due to the fact that the Treas
ury lias kept the circulation of the United
States notes at the uniform amount of $356,-
000. 000, while the old demand notes, though
being gradually redeemed, amount of the re
demption during the year ($16,235 25) did not
equal the amount the United States notes were
increased ($105,140 75.) The fractional cur
rency in circulation, March 1, 1869, was $36,-
781,547 50; March 1, 1870, it was $39,950,-
039 08, an increase of $3,168,491 58. The
amount of coin certificates outstanding March
1, 1869, was $28,775,560; March 1, 1870, it
was $44,382,840, an increase of $15,606,280.
The coin in the Treasury March 1,
1869, was $98,741,260 72, and March
1, 1870, it was $102,400,739 97, on in
crease of $3,659,479 25. The currency March
1,1869, was $16,853,529 04, and March 1,1870,
it was $10,280,285 68, a decrease of $4,573,-
243 36. The assets have been farther in
creased by the valne of the United States bonds
purchased for the Sinking Fond, and as Special
Fond awaiting the action of Congress. Those
now amount to $100,659,292 61 at their ftce
valne and accrued interest to date, but if we
take their market value, say at an average of
12.65 premium—the average rate at which tho
last purchasers were made—they would
amount to $112,223,658 43. The following

The debt statement for the first of March,
1870, published to-day, brings the final account
of Mr. Boutwell’s administration to the close
of its first year, and offers a good opportunity
for a comparison of the debt as it was left by
the last administration with its present condi
tion—the best means of showing how well
Mr. Boutwell has managed the finances of
the Government On the 1st of March,
1869, the principal of the coin interest debt
was $2,107,854,050; on the 1st of March,
1870, it was $2,107,939,650, which shows an
increase of $85,600. This increase is occa
sioned by the issuing of six per cent, bonds in
exchange for seven-tnirty notes, which is only
done in cases where the seven-thirties were
sent in for conversion prior to September 15,
1867, and August 15, 1868. All the seven-
thirties converted daring the year were of this
kind, bnt the issue of the five-twenties to take
their place was delayed by reason of the
ownership being in dispute. These cases are
technically known at the Department as
“caveat cases.” The accrued interest
on the coin debt March 1, 1869, was
$32,427,439 84, and on the 1st of March,

ways, as they are also excluded iu the com
parison between March 1, 1869, and Mnrch 1,

Those who have attained to the greatest emi

have, by a life-long study of, and experience
with, the human organism, obtained great in
sight into the origin and pathology of disease,
are yet, notwithstanding all their profound
and learned theories, confessedly groping in
the dark as to the first cause of any and all
diseases that affect our race. But this much
has been clearly elucidated, and is become an
axiom with the learned profession that by far
the greatest number of our ailments ore di
rectly traceable to derangement of the diges
tive functions, and if “good digestion wait for
appetite,” health will be the almost uniform
result Acting upon this axiom, the inventor
of Dr. Hurley’s Celebrated Stomach Bitters
has been eminently successful (judging from
tho many testimonials that aro constantly
pouring in upon him through the mails and
press) in preparing a remedy to meet and “nip
in the bud” all this long list of obscure nnd

The Revision or the Bible.
Mr. G. H. Davis, Secretary of the London
Religious Tract Society, writes to the Daily
News:
Permit me to state that the Religious Tract
Society is now publishing a Bible which may
tend to allay the fears of many as to a new
translation. 1. It shows that the old and the
new may be combined. It retains the divi
sions of chapters and verses, while printed in
paragraphs and sections. It gives the author
ized text, but introduces the more important
readings established by modem research into
the margin, and amended translations within

A Romantic Occurrence.
To-day, at the residence of Eli Huntsinger,
Esq., Jessce Ballard, Esq.* of Nebraska, and
Miss Martha Huntsinger, of this city, were
united in the holy bonds of wedlock. The
story of their courtship is romantic in the
highest degree, and would furnish the theme
of an interesting story of the novel style.
Jesse and Martha met for the first time
when he was but three years of age, and leav
ing about that time with her relatives for the
then Territory of Nebraska. They had not
met since until to-day, though many years
“drew their slow length along.” From some
unknown cause, an epistolary correspondence
sprang up and nurtured the love which had
its origin in their first meeting, when neither
was above three years of age. This continued
until a few days since, when Jesse came back
to claim in marriage the hand of his in&nt
love, and found her not the wee sma* affair of
years gone, but a bouncing blooming lass of
twenty summers.—Lafayette, (lnd.) Courier.

The speedy resumption of specie payment is eagerly
looked forward to by some with delight, while others
look on with a sorry ftoe. Tho New York Commercial
Advertiser, of the 5th inst, says, in reference to this
matter: "The geld market continues demoralized and
weak, the price having ranged between $113K »nd
$114. The extremedtoUne has produced such an
important modification of the general feeling relative
to the policy of resuming specie payments, that it ia
difficult to estimate what may be its effect upon the
measures of Congress on financial questions. It 1*
very commonly remarked, *we have got so near to the
specie basis that we may as well go the whole length,
and this sentiment appears likely to modify the whole
tenor of legislation relative to the debt and currency
in a more conservative direction. It is the anticipa
tion of this result which prevents gold from reacting,
as usual, after an extreme decline. There are few who
care to buy gold largely for a rise, and the fact that the
lending rate has boon •flat,* indicates that the market
is pretty well oversold; after lending without interest,
however. S^gS per cent, was paid for carrying.*'

whllein the U. 8.6e currency, there has been no decline
in price. The 6# of 1881 sxe a fraction above par with
gold, and the 5-20a of 1863 are within X of 1 per cent
