ATLANTA, GEORGIA,: JULY 20* lStO.
From the Daily New Era of the 14th.]
\ukceb University The Meeting tjxtrr
•Vir.RT.—Pursuant to a call, published in the
Hty ]v\pers, a large number of tlio solid citi
zens of Atlanta assembled at tlie City Hall,
last night and organized the meeting bj* call
ing Chief Justice Joseph E. Brown to the
Chair. Major George IBOyer was requested
to act as Secretary.
Chief Justice Brown stated that the object
of the meeting, as he understood it, was to
take into consideration the best means of se
curing the location of Mercer University in
the city of Atlanta. He hoped that gentlemen
ronld take the floor and discuss the matter.
|ilr. Jonathan Norcross moved that the
Chair appoint a Committee of five to draw np
resolutions for the meeting to consider.
The motion was carried nnanimonaly, and
the Chair appointed on the* Committee the
following gentlemen: Jonathan Norcross,
E. E. Bawson, S. R. McCary, Oliver Jones
and Rev. Mr. Ketehum. The last named
gentleman requested the snbstitntion of an
other in his place and the Chair appoint
ed Judge John D. Pope.
The Committee then retired for consulta
tion, and, after loud and repeated calls for
Colonel Geo. W. Adair, that gentleman took
the floor and addressed the meeting. He wss
profoundly impressed with n sense of the im
portance of the object for which they were
assembled. He proposed to consider it as a
business matter and in a business light Ho
dwelt upon tho influence of colleges; the edu
cational wants of the people; and the probable
inrr. ase in the wealth And population of the
city in the event of the removal of Mercer
University to this place. He disclaimed any
thing liko sectarian partiality and avowed a
willingness to subscribe liberally for the pur
pose of bringing 'Emory College, and any
other College, with a liberal endownment to
Atlanta.
On the return of the Committee, Mr. Nor-
cross as chairman, presented three resolutions
to the meeting.
The resolutions stated in substance, that the
time bad come when it was necessary for the
city of Atlanta, to encourage institutions of
learning; that it was the sense of the meeting
that the City Council of Atlanta, should sub
scribe the snm of dollars to Mercer
University, to secure its location in Atlanta,
and that a petition be presented to the Legis
lature to logalize said subscription; that the
canvassing agents already engaged in soliciting
private subscriptions for the above object be
urged and requested to continue their efforts.
Mr. Vorcross supported the resolutions in a
a brief hot able speech, setting forth the ad
vantages which would accrue to the city by se
curing the location of Mercer University, and
urged the citizens to enter into the movement
with the determination to make Atlanta the
“Athens” of the South. The remarks of the
speaker were practical and pointed, and fre
quent applause testified the approbation of his
audience.
Judge Pope moved that the blank in the
above Resolutions be filled by inserting the
anm of fifty thousand dollars, and proceeded
to state the reasons why that amount should
be subscribed. A petition had already been
presented to the City Council, asking for that
amount, and had been signed by hundreds of
citizens; it was important that the amount of
the subscription should be not too large, so
that the citizens would willingly bear their
due proportion, and it was also
important that not lees than fifty thousand
dollars should be subscribed, as it was very
evident that Mercer University would not
move for leas than that amount In view of
the object to be attained, fifty thousand dot
lam was a very small sum. He was in favor
of extending aid to Emory College also, if she
desired to come. He gave some interesting
statistics as to the effect of the subscription in
increasing the taxes, and alluded to tire prob
able number of students that would attend the
Colleges in Atlanta, and the amount of money
they would spend per annum. Jifdge Pope
discussed the question from a business stand
point, keeping in view the material interests
of the city.
The Rev. Dr. Brandy made a few state
ments relative to the endowment of the col
lege, its pecuniary condition, its character,
and its faculty. IJe refrained front eulogiz-
ng the institution, or recommending its re
moval, as he was one of its Trustees.
Chief Justice Brown addressed the meeting
in a few brief and pertinent remarks. He
wss in favor of extending liberal aid to in
structions of learning, and, in the present in
stance be was in favor of subscribing the sum
proposed to secure the location of Mercer
University. The amount was small, perhaps
too small, and the city ought to aid other
Colleges properly endowed, in order to bring
them to Atlanta. Atlanta should be made a
seat of learning as well as of commerce.
These Colleges would probably bring one
thouesDd students to Atlanta, and
those studedts would spend, say $500,000
a year, here in the city. Property
would rise in value; wealthy people would
come here to reside; the city would
offer social, aa well as educational, advan
tages, not surpassed by any city in the conn
try, and in ten years' time he would venture
the prediction that Atlanta would contain a
population of 100,000 inhabitant#. The Speak
er was greeted with loud applause during the
delivery of his remarks.
The motion made by Judge Pope, to insert
fifty thousand dollars in the reeointion, was
carried, and the resolutions nnanimonsly
adopted.
On motion a Committee of three was ap
pointed to present the resolutions to the City
Council at their next meeting. Judge Pope
was appointed Chairman of the Committee.
Dr. E. J. Roach moved that the Mayor and
Council be furnished with the proceedings of
the meeting. Judge Pope amended the mo
tion by suggesting that the Secretary also tar
nish the city papers with copies of the pro
ceedings. Motion carried.
The meeting then adjourned.

Quite a number of our most substantial citi
zens, including a fur sprinkling of ladies,
sembled at the Central Presbyterian Church
last night
At 9 o'clock L. B. Davis, Esq., called the
meeting to order and moved tliAt the Rev. Dr.
Wilson he called to tho Chair. The motion
wss earned, nnd the Doctor took the Chair,
with Major John C. WhitnernsSecretajy.
Dr. Wilson said that it was unnecessary to
state the object of tho meeting, as everyono
knew that it was called for the purpose of ad
vancing the interests of Oglethorpe College.
He introduced the Hon. E. A. Xeebib
Judge Nrxbit then addressed the meeting-
After a few prefatory remarks, he gave a brief
history of Ogh-tLorpe College, narrating its
early straggles as an infant institution nntil it
attained a respectable condition among tire
colleges of the country, and at last, after a
number of years, became distinguiseed for its
usefulness. When the war broke out Ogle
thorpe was second to no college in the South;
it had an average attendance of a hundred and
twenty students, its faculty was an excellent
one, and it received the support of three
Synods, including more then thirty thousand
Presbyterians. During the wal tho College
was disbanded, and the result of the struggle
swept away the wealth of the Institution, With
Ihc exception of the buildings at Midway ahd
a small amount of funds. Alabama and South
Carolina had both conferred endowments upon
the College, and there were professors
upon those endowments, bnt they
also were lost by tho war. The
Sonth Carolina endowment was entirely lost,
and of the Alabama endowment only a third
was saved. Since 18C5, the Trustees had
been endeavoring to reconstruct tho college.
Bat there were many difficulties in tho way.
The Synod ot Georgia declared in favor of
disbanding the institution and taming over
tho funds to Davidson College, N. C. To
this arrangement the Trustees wonld not con
sent, and the synod reconsidered its action
and aflinned the decision of the Trustees.—
Then the question of removal comes up,
with all its attendant difficulties. The Florida
Synod declared in favor of removing the Col
lege to Atlanta; the Synods of Alabama and
South Carolina agreed to leave the matter with
the Synod of Georgia, and that body decided
in favor of the removal to Atlanta. Then the
City Conndl of Atlanta donated the Colleges
lot of land, and CoL IL C. Holcombe present
ed the institution with an elegant site. Bnt,
after matnre consideration the Trustees de
cided on the purchase of the Neal,
Lyons House for tire College. Various rea
sons dictated this course. It was a safe in-
tment, and the location wonld command
local patronagel'^ndge Nesbitt dwelt npon
the importance of edneating onr youths with
in the influence of family associations,
did not believe in sending yonng men to
Europe to be educated. Such sn education
unfitted them for onr ways of life. The
people who expect to live in and rule
this country onght to be educated at
home. Oglethorpe was a denominational
College, bnt there was nothing sectarions
abont it Education alone was not the life of
liberty, as had been said. Civilization
tended with crime. High culture was the
patron of infidelity and immorality. In proof
of this, look at the great centres of civilization
—the modem capitals of the world. Or go
back to ancient times, and look at Rome,
Athens, Epbesns, Jerusalem and Baby
lon in their palmiest days, under
the influences ot the highest pagan
cnltnre. And to-day, in London and
Paris, in the large cities where we find the
highest civilization, there, also, do we find the
most vise, immorality and infidelity. Bnt ed
ucation, with the precepts, commandments
and doctrines of Christianity » engrafted npon
it, was indeed the “life of liberty T
The speaker eonclnded by calling attention
to the needs of the College, and appealed to
the wealthy men of Atlanta, and the Mayor
and Council to aid it as they bad done Mer
cer University.
The Rev. David Willis, President elect of
Oglethorpe College, then addressed the audi
ence. Judge Nesbitt had taken the wind out
of his sails by discussing the very points which
he had intended to use. himself, and nothing
was left him bnt the fragments. He alluded
to the progress of the age, the wonderful life
and activity of Atlanta, which, like the tabled
bird of antiquity, decked in emusion and gold,
had risen from its ashes, and was soar
ing aloft in all its strength and beauty.
The ravages of war were being regained; the
riven and streams, lately crimsoned with the
blood of onr brothers, now resounded with the
mnsic of machinery, and the very lightnings
of heaven were used by the ingenuity of man
in wearing a belt of brightness ronnd the
world. Edneation asserted its claims; and
made them respected. Oglethorpe asked -for
assistance. Her faculty was one of the Kst
in the country, and her past history wss a
guaranty of the manner in which her fntnro
course wonld be directed. To show that
there was nothing sectarian about
the institution be had only to refer to the put
and to the cardinal principles of Presbyterian
ism. Oglethorpe had never tried to proselyte
any one. Some of the best and most active
members of other denominations claimed her
as their Atma Haler. The Presbyterian in
fluence hod accomplished wonders in the
canse of education. The best institutions of
learning in Ireland, Scotland and Germany
were established by Presbyterians. The same
influence bad been equally powerful in this
country. The stem Puritans of New Eng
land, the sturdy Hollanders of New York, the
stout-hearted Irish and Scotch of PeusyIranis
and Virginia, and the chivalrous Huguenots
of Sonth Carolina, had done yeoman's service
for the cause. Howard, Vale, Princeton and
other colleges attested the sacoess of their
efforts. Princeton wu sn example
the non-sectarianism of Presbyterian
colleges. Presidents and stab
various denominations bad been educated at
that institntion, and three of her grad notes
were now iu General Grant's Cabinet Doctor
Wills referred to a long list of names, eminent
u the history of Presbyterianism, which re
flected lustre npon the annals of literature and
science, and begged the citizens of Atlanta
to give their earnest attention to tho impor
tance of the object for which they were assem
bled, commending agletborpe to their favora
ble consideration.
Mr. L> B. Davis offered^o resolution ap
pointing a Committee of ten gentlemen with
CoL L. P. Grant for Chairman, to present
petition to the City Council, requesting that
body to increase their subscription to Ogle
thorpe, to an amount equal to that subscribed
to Mercer University.
The resolutions were nnanimonsly adopted,
and on motion the meeting adjourned.

Mr. HARRIS said he had no objection to
the motion of Mr. Smith, but he had a reso
lution on the table and moved that it be taken
3. Carried.
The following is Mr. Harris’ resolution:
Whereas, The Treasurer is retaining a large
amount of money at 3 per cent, interest as a
part of the edncational fond; and
'Whereas, There is no present demand for
isbursement on account of school purposes;
id
Whereas, The State is always constitu
tionally indebted to the school fund tlie
amounts set Apart for that purpose; and
Whereas, It is unwise to loan State money
at 3 per cent., and fti the same time borrow'
money for State purposes at a higher rate of
interest:
Be it resolved by the Senate and House of
Representatives, That the Treasurer be, and
he is hereby authorized and directed to pay all
lawful demands upon the Treasurer from any
fundi now under his control.
A message was received from the House
through Mr. Newton, their Clerk, to the
effect that the House had concurred in the
resolution passed by the Senate to continue
the appropriation act until another act had
been passed in the ordinary way.
Mr. HARRIS, speaking in support of his
resolution, said the school fund w*as one of
great importance and should not be interferred
with nnless for an important object. No one
could appreciate the importance of education
more than he could. The school fund
amounted to something near $200,000, he
wished it was $2,000,000, but it was a small
start and they ought not to abuse it but pro
tect it until it could be used. Bnt ha 1 they
a school fund ; could any Senator of his own
knowledge say that they had ? Had they any
security to show' that.they had a dollar
belonging to that fund. If any ot them had
he knew of none. Bankers’ certificates of de
posit were not securities. H then the
school fund was in such a precarious position
it was to their interest and their duty to get
it permanently secured. They might say that
a certain bank had a certain amount in it
yesterday, but was it there to-day? At the

that .high rate of interest to the school fund?
He proposed as it were to borrow this money,
to place it securely where it could not be
tampered with. He would put in its place
7 per cent State bonds. They coaid not be
touched and they would yield a handsome
profit to the fond, and when the money
wanted they could sell the bonds. Was it
not better that the fund should draw 7 per
cent than 3; and then again the money could
not be squandered. It was an impossibility.
This was not a party measure. All were in
terested in it, the salvation of the country de
pended npon the education of tho children,
and they would violate their oath to the con
stitution if it was not carried out fully. The
State could take the money and deposit bonds,
and then if they were robbed, they wonld
still be safe. They wonld not then depend
upon the bonds of individuals. These mo
tives had induced him to offer the resolution.
Mr. WOOTEN would ask Mr. Harris if he
did not think the resolution should originate
in the House as any other resolution of appro-
priatiou.
Mr. HARRIS thought not It was not an
appropriation, bnt simply giving direction to
a particular fund.
Mr. HUKGERFORD opposed the resolntion
upon the idea that somebody was trying to get
at the funds of the State in an illegal way.
M* NUNNALLY thought there was little to
be said about the nnconstitutionality of the
resolution. If he understood the object of the
resolution, it was brought forward so that the
Senate could discuss and understand the ques
tion. The Committee that had been appointed
to enquire into the Treasurer’s matters,—
The PRESIDENT interrupted the speaker
saying he conld not bring forward a subject that
va.i'i li'it 1 - fora the Senate.
ilr. NUNNALLY said mat irwas a m
with which the public were familiar. There had
bean some $187,000 set apart os a school fund,
nevertheless it was State money, and no bill
had ever been passed authorizing its use. If it
was pnt to a definite purpose that would not pre
vent the Legislature passing a law that would
appropriate the money. Bonds could be deposit
ed, and it was to the best interest of the State
that it should be done. They conld use these
funds instead of pntting bonds on the market
and selling them at a depreciated value. They
could use the money and better the financial
position of the State. He thought it would be
wise and good financiering to take the money
and use it than to pay eight or ten per cent
He was of the opinion that the resolntion
ought to originate with the House, as it did
appiapriate money, and tit Omditution in
quired all appropriations should originate in
the House, bat that was no reason why the
Senate should not discuss it
Mr. WOOTEN proposed the following
amendment:
“Provided, Thai the Treasurer shall not un
der this resolution pay out any money except
to the civil lists, and it shall bo his duty to
keep a separate and distinct account of all
soma paid oat of said educational fund,charg
ing the same to tho State. The amount thus
drawn or borrowed to bo replaced whenever
the same shall be needed for edncational pur
poses.
In support of the resolntion thus amended
Mr. WOOTTEN said some appeared to think
that it would conflict with the Constitution. As
it bad been explained he did not think scf,
bnt did think that the resolution should origi
nate with the House. The original resolution
made no provision for the return of funds thus
borrowed. They could not use any funds ap
propriated for another purpose, bnt he
thought that with the amendment these funds
could be used for defraying the expenses of
the Government, as it wonld still be kept as a
separate fond. Without funds to pay off the
civil list the Government conld not exist. It
was necessary that money should be raised.
The ordinary mode would be by loan or selling
bonds. It hod been shown that by this coarse
they wonld lose money. Here was a fund of
some $175,000 and they might take it as a
loan; there was no present necessity for using
it; it might slumber for years. They had no
demand for it, and had adopted no system for
its use. It was lying idle and yielding very
little. The purposes for which it was intend
ed were dear to all, bnt until some measures
were taken to use it there was no need of such
a snm lying dormant; bathe thought its use
should be restricted to the civil list If they
went to borrow money it would cost seven,
eight or nine per cent, aud by using this
money they would effect an actual saving to
the Sate.
Mr. CAMPBELL made a few suggestions as
to finding out the actual amount that was cred
ited to the fund, and the amount that actually
should be there, after which,
Mr. DUNNING said he regretted that the
Senate were acting without necessary informa
tion. He would have preferred postponing
the question nntil the Committee, who had
been appointed to iuquire into the affairs of
tho Treasurer, had made Ihejr report—nntil
that report was made they conld not act dis
creetly. He conld not vote for the resolution
in its present shape, and would suggest “that
it lie on the table until that report was made.
Education was one of the most important
questions of the day, and he thought they
wero not doing their duty by neglecting it
from day to day, and the)' ought to meet the
question this session; there should not bo an
hour of unnecessary delay. He moved to re
fer the matter to the Finance Committee.
After some remarks from jMr JHARRIS and
Mr. SMITH, of the 7th, the matter was re
ferred to the Finance Committee, and the
Senate, on motion of Mr. SPEER, adjonrned
nntil to-morrow at 10 o’dook.

Senate standing Committee on the State "Li
brary be considered as a joint committee with
that of the House, to take charge of all affairs
of the Library and make expenditures, Ac.
Adopted. -£
Mr. HARRIS moved a joint resolntion fora
Committee of three from the Senate and five
from the House, to wait npon and confer with
his Excellency the Governor, and Gen. Terry,
and decide what can be done in regard to leg
islation, in the event that Congress takes^no
action on the Georgia question, and report on
Monday next, After a few remarks on the res
olution.
Mr. NUNNALLY thought the proper course
wonld bo for them to go on and labor for the
good of the country without consul ting tHe
Governor or General Terry. If Gen. Terry did
not approve of their work he could BtojTtt.
He would support a motion to proceed.
Mr. HARRIS said he was satisfied that they
would be permitted to go on and legislate, bnt
discussions wonld come np and it would be nec
essary for them to know wlrnt coarse General
Terry wonld approve ot Monday would be
tho earliest day on which the committee conld
report, as Congress did not adjourn until Fri
Mr. HOLCOMBE thonght they had b
wait until Friday and see what Con)
wonld do.
Mr. WOOTEN opposed the resolntion.
Mr. HIGBEE advised adjournment, or (hut
they should occupy their time in receiving re
ports of committees.
Mr. TRAYWICK moved to lay the whole
matter on the table. Carried.
Mr. HIGBEE moved to inquire if the com
mittees appointed were ready to report
Mr. HARRIS said the Committee on the
Treasurer’s affairs wonld be ready to report on
M MnC*OLllAN t said the report of the Rail

Mr. SPEER moved to suspend the rules for
the introduction of bills. Carried.
A quantity of bills were read a first time,
among which were the following ;
for *udi in^trutUoiis; by Mon^rty they cauld in to tbs School Fund *-t3 referred to
know nnd have future trouble He hoped | the Finance Committee,
notation would pass without debat
Mr. NUNNALLY thonght that this resolu
tion had been finally disposed of yesterday.
But whether or not, the action of the Senate
yesterday, by p resen ting bills aud commencing
legislation, virtually destroyed its effect, and
made it unnecessary now to pass it. If it
passed it would cause a great delay in legisla
tion, and if they adjourned over until Monday
they would be in no better fix. The question
really was whether they should go on with leg
islation for the good of the country, or go and
bow around to some one and ask them to dic
tate to them when they had no right to say what
they could or could not do. It was too late
to talk of courtesy. Yesterday, by the intro
duction of bills, they bad commenced work,
and be trusted they would go on with it He

tyman.
The toll was called, and the journal read
and approved.
Mr. MERRELL moved is reconsider so
much of the journal of yesterday us referred
to a joint committee on the State Library.
Such committee was authorized to superintend
the disbursement of moneys appropriated for
the State Library. It would be a joint stand
ing committee, and it would probably be nec
essary for them to meet and sit daring recess,
to enable them to perform the duties prescribed
by the reeointion, Jt was a question of econ,
oray. In all probability the joint committee
would consist of eighteen members.
Tbe appropriation bill was generally the
Lost considered and passed in the session.
The committee consequently wonld not
know what the appropriation would be imtil
the end of the session, and they wonld then
have to ascertain deficiencies and say what
should be done with the money appropriated.
This was a duty which heretofore had been
done-by the Governor, who directed tho State
Librarian in the outlay of tho funds. The
committee, coming from all quarters of tho
State, must necessarily be less acquainted with
the wants and requirements of the State Libra
ry than the-Governor. If he (Mr. Merrell,) a
member of the Library Committee, waffled a
good tittle job, he thought the passage of the
resolution would give him a very nice berth,
but did tho Senate wish to authorize such au
expenditure. He moved to reconsider because
be thought the legal, reasonable, and rational
construction oi the resolntion was as he' had
- t: 11. . 1.
Mr. WOOTEN thought that the Senator did
not quite understand the resolution. The
Committee was a standing committee dt the
Senate, and had no power to act when the
Legislature was not in session. His object in
introducing the resolntion was to make the
House and Senate Committees act in concert.
As now constituted, they might act indepen
dently and clash with one Another. It was
desirable to have concerted action that the
money t lint might be appropriated should be ex
pended to the best advantage. The commit
tee would not trouble the Governor or the
State Librarian, nor conld it sit in vacation,
lie moved to lay the motion to reconsider on
the table.
Mr. HARRIS thonght that the resolution
did admit of the abases spoken of by Mr.
Merrell, and supported the motion to recou-
eider. /
Mr. SMITH, of the 7th, supported th< ; mo
tion to reconsider, which motion was put and
carried.
Mr. CANDLER moved to refer the isola
tion to the Judiciary Committee. The wary
should be fostered and encouraged in every
possible way, and the Library Committee
should consult with the Librarian os to the
best means of disbursing the appropriition.
After some farther discussion in which Mr.
DUNNING, Mr. WOOTEN, Mr. SPEER, and
others took part, the whole matter was liid on
the table.
On motion of Mr. COLMAN. OoJ. Qopld, of
Savannah, was tendered a seat on the floor of
tbe Hon.se.
Mr. HARRIS moved 'to take up the resolu
tion laid on the table yesterday asking tfiat a
Committee bo appointed to wait on tbe Gov
ernor and General Terry and ask for imbue-
tions with regard to legislation. He hadgiven
way yesterday because bo understood that
several members wished to introduce bills and
tbero appeared to be an impression that this
motion would retard legislation, he had no in
tention of doing so bat he thought it advis
able to get some instructions as to what they
could or could not do, as questions wonld be
certain to arise when they would have to ask
lar Savings Bank of Atlanta.
By Mr. RICHARDSON, to qijhm streets
and alleys in Dawsonville.
Mr. CANDLER objected that the bills were
not read in full as required by the Constitu
tion.
A discussion ensued between Messrs. CAN
DLER, SPEER, HARRIS, HOLCOMB, and
BURNS, on the subject, and tbe bills were or
dered by the PRESIDENT to be read in full
and the reading was proceeded with.
By Mr SPEER, to incorporate the Bank of
tho Interior, Macon.
By Mr. PRESIDENT, to canse the 1st Jan
uary, 22d February, 4th July, 25th December,
and any other days that may be appointed by
the President of the United States or the Gov
ernor of Georgia, to be observed as Sunday.
To incorporate the Merchants Exchange
Bank of Augusta,
To organize a court in each Senatorial dis
trict, to be called District Courts, a Judge and
District Attorney to be appointed by the Gov
ernor and confirmed by the Senate, the Jndge

num, in gold or its equivalent
By Mr. COLMAN, to outborize the ordina
ry of Glynn comity to issue bonds to the
amount of $75,000, the proceeds to pay the
county debt and complete the county jail and

rowed from other sources at n less rate than

government of the House.
A motion to suspend the rules iu order to
take up his resolution was lost
Mr. Belcher’s resolntion to pay clerks
employed in the convention, was taken up
and referred to the Finance Committee.
Air. Darnell’s resolution to change the
19 th rule was put before the House.
Mr. ANDERSON opposed the resolution
because tbe House is well acquainted with
Jeff erson’s Manual, and that the said Manual is
sufficient for all practical purposes.
Mr. DARNELL said that Cushing’s Alanual
is used by the Senate, and that both houses
shonld be governed by the same rules.
Air. DARNELL withdrew his motion on
oinnging tho 19th Rule.
Another motion was made by the same mem
ber adding a danse to the 16th Rule, allowing
a motion.to reconsider to be made immediately.
Mr. SHUMATE said that he was opposed to
was *o money.
the
Treasury, etc.
Mr. SHUMATE advocated the reoonsidem
tion of the resolution. He stated that there*
was properly no school fund now, although
there are about two hundred aud twenty
thousand dollars due by the State to the Edu
cational Fund. He stated that there are about
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars de
posited in the Atlanta National Bank at three
per cent, and twenty thousand dollars in the
Georgia Railroad and Banking Company; that
there is no impropriety in applying this
money to other purposes. Our Judges, etc.,
must be paid, and no one will doubt but that
this Legislature will raise money for current
expenses. Hence, where is the wisdom of
lending at three per cent, and borrowing at
ten per cent
Air. LANE stated that he had not moved fbr
the laying of the resolntion on the tattle for
the purpose of destroying it, but that be did
not think that the time for acting on it had ar
rived. _ He advocated referring the question of
money to the Finance Committee.
Air. SIAIAIS said that lie was glad to see so
much interest manifested in regard to tl*i*Jund,
that the General Assembly seems alive to the
importance of education; that he was in
favor of reconsidering the action of yesterday
in regard to this resolution; that the State is
the proper custodian of the money and that she
conld use it and be responsible therefor.
Mr. SCOTT stated that there were constitu
tional provisions saying that certain taxes
should be used for educational purposes, that
members had sworn to carry out the provisions
of the Constitution; that this money cannot
be appropriated by resolution.
Air, SCOTT asked how does the House
know that there is need of money. There had
been no official communication of tbe fact—
that he had heard a gentleman on the other
side say that they would reconsider because
they could not get their pay unless from this
source. He asked the appropriation hod
not been made large enough at first. Why
take this fund to pay members for doing
nothing. '•>
Mr. RICE advocated the postponement of
the consideration of this resolntion—that there
was need for mature deliberation—that now
at tho very commencement of the session
without any information on such subjects the
Legislature is plunged into the money
question—that they had been away two months
and now they find but about two thousand
dollars in the Treasury, and he thonght it
might be possible that those who had been on
committees were those who favor the move
Air. SHUMATE interrupted Mr. Rice and
said that the ospertion was false.
Mr. RICE replied, that it was only a surmise
on his part
Mr. HARPER advocated the resolution as a
financial matter. That the Government must
be supported whether by general or special
tax. Ho said that there is no school system
aud that the money is lying up at a very small
interest.
Air. O’NEAL, of Lowndes, said that this is
an extraordinary Legislature, and this is an
extraordinary resolution—that he had stated
at the organization of this House that it wi
not under the said Constitution and Code
that Georgia is in a provisional state, and that
the Legislature operates only by permission of
Congress and General Terry.
Air. SCOTT asked if, not under the Con
stitution and Code under what authority this
school fund was set aside.
Air. O’NEAL replied that the fund has not
been set aside.
Air. SCOTT asked if there is no school fund,
whence the sense of the resolution.
Mr. O’NEAL replied that the people and the
Legislature had become accustomed to call this
money, which should have been set aside, the
“school fundthat the Constitution of
Georgia is qeld in abeyance by Congress and
General Terry," qnd th^t he had no idea that
any of those persons would object to tho action
of this body in the premises. If this money
is taken it will be charged that the Legislature
took it os per diem.
Mr. TURNER moved to amend by saying
that “we shall not be paid out of it.”
A{r. O’NEAL said that the whole matter
should be disposed of by the adjournment of
this body until Congress acts concerning Geor
gia.
Mr. O’NEAL read from the Comptroller
General’s Report, certain clauses showing
that tho fault of not separating the poll-tax
from the general tax was that of the Tax-Col
lectors.
Mr. HOOKS called the previous question.
Upon a call of the yeas and nays the call was
sustained.
On motion of Mr. SCROGGINS Air. N. B.
Wilkinson was invited to take a seat on the
floor.
On motion of Air. SHUAIATE the resolution
innovations on established rules unless there
be a good reason therefor. He said that the
House would always be better prepared for re
consideration on the following day.
Mr. TWEEDY agreed with the gentleman
from Whitfield, and offered a substitute which
wonld not allow a man who has voted in the
minority to move for a reconsideration. ■■■
Mr. DUNCAN moved to lay the whole mat
ter on the table. Adopted.
On motion of Air. JOHNSON, Gen. Kvzy-
znowski was tendered a seat on the floor of
the House.
Mr. BETHUNE moved for the appoint
ment of a joint committee of five from the
House and three from the Senate to confer
with the Governor and General Terry and de
cide what can be doue in regard to legisla
tion in the event that Congress takes no action
on the Georgia question.
Air. O’NEAL of Lowndes, offered an amend
ment saying, that it is probable that Congress
will adjourn, etc., which amendment was ac
cepted.
Mr. LANE said that he did not believe that
the Governor and Gen. Terry would advise on
the question two days before the adjournment
of Congress.
Mr. BETHUNE said that it became this
body to prepare lor work; and if Congress
should act tiiere would be no harm done by
this resolution.
Air. ANDERSON opposed the resolution on
the ground that the House had no authority to
legislate without Congressional interference—
that General Terry had virtually ao deci
ded—that he was opposed to annoying the
Governor and General Terry with this matter,
and that if Congress does net the House will
be iulormed of it
Mr. O’NEAL, of Lowndes, moved to adjourn
until Friday next
Mr. SCOTT moved to amend by saying
that with the concurrence of the Senate unti

adoption of Air. Bethnne’s resolntion relative
to the appointment of a committee to confer
with the Governor, etc. Mr. O’Neal, in sup
port of his motion, said that from the tele
grams this morning it seems doubtful whether
or not Congress will take any definite action
on the Georgia question—that it is proper to
consult with General Terry, as the Legislature
must act by bis permission, and that he (Air.
O’Nael) could see no reason why bills should
not now be introduced.
Air. SHUMATE said that a resolution of
this kind must be concurred iu by tbe Senate
and that the Senate had already gone into
legislation.
Air. SHUAIATE ooneludad his remarks

mr. watkins’ resolution on removal of disa
bilities.
Whereas, it is the chief object of every free
government to confer upon all its people the
largest enjoyment of political liberty, and to
impose as few restraints os possible npon those
under tbe protection of the. laws;
and
Whereas, the unhappy war that lately raged
in our midst has now ended, leaving the union
of these States more firmly established than
ever before, while perfect tranquility exists
throughout the whole extent of our country,
affording an opportunity for tho display of a
magnanimity as wise as it is noble on the part
of those who control the government; and
Whereas, it is inconsistent with the princi
ples of our political system and the character
of our people to administer the government
upon the theory of resentment:
Be it resolved by the Senate and House of
Representatives, that in onr judgment the time
has come for the restoration of liannony iu
tho relations of our whole, people to their Gov
ernment and to each other, aud to exhibit to
the world the spectacle of a Great Republic
free, powerful, and prosperous.
2. That as measures have been adopted to
secure, throughout the couutry, universal suf
frage, there should accompany this policy
universal amnesty.
3. That we earnestly desire to see the Con
gress of the United States adopt measures
promptly for the removal of the political disa
bilities of the people of Georgia, and for the
restoration to every citizen, without exception,
the full enjoyment of every privilege under
onr Government •
4. That tbe Governor be, aud be is hereby
requested, to forward a copy of the foregoing;
preamble and resolutions to the President ant
Vice-President of the United States, and to
the Speaker of the United States House of

Hair Vigor,
For restoring Gray Hair to
its natural Vitality and Color.
A dressing which
is at onoe agreeable,
healthy, and effectual
for preserving the
hair. Faded or gray
hair is soon restored
to its original color,
with the gloss and
freshness of youth.
Thin hair is thick
ened, falling hair checked, aud bald
ness often, though not always, cured
by its use. Nothing can restore the
hair where the follicles are destroyed,
or tho glands atrophied and decayed.
But such as remain can bo saved ■ for
usefulness by this application. Instead
of fouling tho hair with a pasty sedi
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hnir
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent baldness. Free
from those deleterious substances which
make some preparations dangerous, and
injurious to tho hair, the Vigor can
only benefit but not harm it If wanted
merely for a

nothing else can bo found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it docs

FEMALE COMPLAINT,
That claims its victims throughout the length and
"—"th of our land.
ij females suffer in some way at each monthly
period; some girls ore in great peril at the commence
ment of menstruation, while older ones dread its de
cline at the “turn of life.” Sometimes the menstrual
flow is too much, or too little* or may be attended
with pain; may be irregular or entirely cheeked, or
changed in appearance, attended with other distress
ing symptoms. Leucorrhcea. or tbe “Whites,” fre
quently drains the system, or ulceration of the womb
may create pain and cause rapid prostration. *
Falling of the womb ia an exceedingly common com
plaint, giving much trouble and distress, which, un-
ivmedlol agents that will come to her rescue ? We ■
ENGLISH FEMALE BITTERS,
The only acknowledged Uterine Tonic and Female Reg
ulator known, will cure all those complaints above
mentioned in on incredibly short time. The Bitters
at once arouses, strengthens and restores the womb to
its natural condition, removing obstructions, relieving
pain and regulating tbe monthly period. Youder
stands a palejweeblo and languid girl, just bursting
into womanhood; she is the pride or all, but hark!
she silently steals a pickle, cats chalk, or a slate £eocil;
no appetite for food; she tarns with a dull eye and
seeks solitude; ber eye no longer sparkles; her merry
laugh ia no longer beard ringing through the air; she
mopes about with bloodless lips and gums, with head
ache. palpitation, constipation, swimming of the head,
cold teetand hands, melancholy; she has a coated
tongue, offensive breath, and a hoot of other evils too
numerous to mention.
When neglected all these symptoms become aggrava
ted, there ia sick stomach, heartburn, a dark line set
ties nnder the^yes. the legs and ankles ore swollen, tho
hair loses its gloss and falls off, there is brittleness and
splitting of the finger-nails, swollen abdomen, extreme
nervousness, frctfulness, pains and aches, dry cough.
Hysterical Fits, rapid prostration, epilepsy and death!
If you. or any of your friends, are thus afflicted, send
at onoe for a bottle of English Female Bitters and be
cured. Its effects are magical in such complaints.—
Surely no mother will postpone and delay this duty
until
DEATH IS AT THE DOOR.
In all these complaints the system evidently shows a
wont of red blood, aud Mr. Churchill, in his work on
Diseases of Females, says: “Bearing In mind that the
blood is remarkably deficient in red corpuscles, and the
known property of iron to correct this condition, theo
ry suggests it as the most to be relied on. the best of
which is Citrate." Citrate of Iron enters largely into
the composition of English Female Bitters, combined
with powerful vegetable tonics of rare qualities.
Among the mountains of Tennessee and the piney-
