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 il they should be relieved from their poUti- diesbilitise.

The Legislature elected in Georgia was intended by Cougreae to take the place of the Provisional Government as a permanent one.

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.

I low Hie Situation Looks to n Strange 1'rom tho New liioomfleld (Pa.) Press.] Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 19,1870.. No doubt tho eyes of the politicians of ,a sections, as well as of all complexions, • been centered upon Georgia since the conten- Uon ’ Aort^sa ing of tho Legislature preparatory tc ization on a loyal and legal basis. This having been tlio theater of so much political strife and rebel perfidy, the enforcement ot the Late reconstruction act has been watched hero, and the issue looked forward to, with no Bttle concern by both parties. —’ The expelled colored members were reseated, and the members elect, who gave aid and Com fort to the rebellion, whose disabilities had not been removed, were declared ineligible, and their competitors for legislative honors, respect ively, having tho next highest vote, were sworn I [pnpolicyx>£ Oowgro— - Bafara .the .war, al general favorite, shortly after reaching his ma jority he was elected Major of Augusta* and 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, o doubt, will be spoken of by the opposi- Vnrth ns n “carpet-bagger, and hero as Ike. Whilst the House was organizing under the Hon. A. L. Harris, speaker pro tempore, and 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 3 hair most vigorously—in fine, not only was he mad, but the whole Radical camp in and 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 from power. The wish was father to the thought, and with trembling expectancy the hitherto bold and defiant Democracy awaited the realization of their hopes. Bnt in vain was much printers* ink used, much good advertising space occupied, much lofty . _ ,, ra-i Ul>l> ^ L w 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 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, JWe have $105,979,195 56 os what may be called the real reduction of the debt during Mr. Bontwell’s Treasury manage ment This, as compared with the redaction mi shown by a cnrapnruspn of the debt state ments of March 1, 1868, and March 1, I860,, the last year of Johnson’s administration, (ex cluding the bonds issued to the Pacific Rail ways, as they are also excluded iu the com parison between March 1, 1869, and Mnrch 1, 1870,) which redaction amounts to $5,959,- 718 46, gives a balance in favor of the present Administration of $100,019,477 20.

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 brackets in the page iteell It confines both readings and renderings to such as have the sanction of the best authorities, avoiding those which are either conjectural or af no moment $o an English reader. 2. M shows that church* men and dissenters may combine in the pro duction of a new translation, for it is the actual production of a committee of both. 3. It proves that no great innovations need be ap prehended.

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.)

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.
