ATLANTA, GEORGIA, AUGUST 3, 1870. From tho nujj Xaw Em or fota*4»j.) Tb£ II- I. Ivnmn.T. Hodsk.—Wo were lroata.1 yraterday to a view of a v«y hand- *omo photograph of this hotel m It will be, from the gallery of C. D. Fredericks & Co., at How Tort, and somewhat familiar as we have been with the elevations and drawings of tho building, we were moch'strack with tbeheah- ti/al proportions of this mammoth strnctore as exhibited in this picture, which was from the Railroad depot, and shoe’s the vain front on Pryor street and the railroad front." The following brief history of the building is engrav ed under tho photograph: The H. L tfimgan erty purchased • March ’ 25^187^ Ground broke March 88, 1870. Building completed October 17, 1870. Dimensions 210 feet on Pryor street, 160 Decatur anti 160 Railroad. 317 rooms, i he anuonneement of the dayon which tho building will bo completed, when its vast proportions and the immense amount of labor yet to bo expended \i\*on it are taken into consideration, may appear, to those to whom Mr. Kimball’s energy w unknown, at least cbemerisal if not • on ^ impossi ble boasting. But that Gentleman has proved that when lie says a thing ho means it, and that he never yet said he would do any thing lhat1m.did not accomplish, accordingly we look upon it ns a settled fact that travelers and the public nencrallv will be entertained at ht^kfust or, perhaps, dinner in the H. I. Ki ff^ n r ^ 17th of Octobgp.^ „ There are some Republican journals which question until Monday, the T5th of August, • do not seem to understand tho situation }n Mr. IfERRELL was much pleased*at t! North Carolina. The Chicago Republican is . not among the number. It says r * In consequence of numerous murders com mitted in a couple of the counties of North Carolina, where the local authorities wade nn eff rt to bring tho assassins to justice, Governor Holden was under the necessity of proclaiming martial Taw, and sending a com- jiany of militia to ferret.out the offenders. - As usual, this movement to punish crime and restore law and order is bitterly de nounced by that portion of the press which justified the late rebellion. It is stated that “a prominent citizen, formerly a United States Senator from North Carolina,” was silly enough to go all tho way to Washington to induco President Grant to interfere in the internal af fairs of the State without any demand being made on him by the State authorities for that purpose. Of course the “ prominent citizen.” who sought a violation ot the fundamental law of tho Republic in the interest'of ^assas sination, was sent home with a Ilea in his car. If he hail known anything, he mast have been aware that the President had no power in the premises, unless offiyally called upon by the (Jovernor or the Legislature, and upon evi dence that domestic violenco existed, to the suppression of which tlie power of the State was inadequate. It is tho duty of the Presi dent tq obey the laws, and whon that is done, tho “prominent citizen" business will have r * short surift. The Kul&lux In North Carolina. The H|*eeial correspondent of the Philadel phia Press telegraphed on Thursday from this city that a gentleman who has just arrived from North Carolina, and who is conversant with public afiaix* there, states that Governor Holden has obtained positive proof against the persons who have been arrested there on^ the charge of being connected with the Kn- klnx Klan, and that ho intends to execute them when they shall have l»een convicted. The State is now under martial law, and as nil the civil courts are suspended the Knklux will lie tried and sentenced by military com missions. It is believed that a few examples wade ot these diturbors of tho public jiearo by Governor Holden will have a wholesome and Salutary effect npon-the ox-rebels in North Carolina. Governor Ilolden is thoroughly Sustained In * his course by the President, who, liko every other citizen, think* it is about time that the rebellion should be suppressed. It will be re- memliered that some time ago, a state of af fairs existed in Arkansas, similar to that which uuw prevails in North Carolina, and that, through the prompt action of Governor Clay ton, assisted by the United States authorities, the Ku-Klnx were thoroughly wiped out, and the State bos over since been peaceful. A New Edition of Rlnrkstone. The following from the New York Indc- jmmleut will interest lawyers and law- students: We are ennbled, in advance of all other or gans of literary intelligence, to make an an nouncement which will be of some interest to all onr readers, aud of social interest to those of them who belong, either in fact or in intention, to the legal profession. Every one knows that tlie Commentaries of Blnckstono liave been, for a hundred years, tho great first book to students of the law; and the his tory of several American editions , of that book would be, in Home respects, a history of tho progress of legal education in this country. Several of these so-called Ameri- enn editions have been simply reprints of the English editions; and have been of less valne to American students because contain ing no intimation of tlie particulars in which our law differed from that of England. It very early occurred to the sages of the law in this country that a proper edition of Black- stone for use here should, lie caretally annota ted as to all these particulars. The first edi tor, we believe, who carried ont this plan was Judgo Beverley Tncker, of Virginia, in the year 1708. For the last twenty years tho standard edition of Blackstone has been that of tlie eminent Pennsylvania jurist, Judge Hharswood. The merit of this edition is very great, especially in the notes to the first two volumes; but in the last two the editorial work is so inferior to what pre cedes that it has been supposed to be tho work of some other hand. However, so rapid arc the changes in the law, both in this eonu- Irv and in Edgland, and so numerous and im portant are the developments of legal princi ples in tho decisions of the courts, that the very best edition of Blackstone must inevita bly become antiquated every ten years. It will, therefore, be learned with great satisfac tion, especially by the profession, that an en tirely new edition is now in press, under the able care of Mr. Justice Coolqv, of tho Su preme Court of Michigan, than whom no more competent editor could be found in the whole country. This edition will note all modifica tions in the law. both of America and England .up to latest dates. It ought to be a source of honest pride to the Northwest, and it certainly is very significant that this important publica tion Is issuing from a house in Chicago; we refer to the noted firm of lawbook publishers, Messrs. Callaghan and Cntler. HEAVY SCAN. MAO. TUe Karl of Clarendon the Fatktr of the French Emprcsn. “ The Paris correspondent «.f LLo New YorkTri- lmne iu his Ust letter sives currency to a pipe of royal scandal which wo >lo not remember having ever heard of before. .Vs correspondents of American newspapers are however, generally received in the most select circles of European society where everything is known concerning the most secret history of royalty and nobility wo are bond to believe that it is really true. lie writes: Tho Jonrnal Official, the other day, eon tained tho announcement that the Court would go into luonrning for eight days, begin ning with Suuday. July 3. for Jerome Bona- jwrto Patterson, who died recently at Balti more. Meanwhile, no official onnonneement has been made as to when, if over, tlie Court -will go into mourning for tho Empress’ father, who also died a short time ago. If it is possible to speak with certainty on such a matter at any time, it may be permit ted ns to believe that, in the death of Lord Clarendon, the present Empress of the French has a right to moum a Cither, who, although the fact was a notorious one.loth in England and Franco, never, so great was bis modesty, allowed himself to claim in public that distinguished honor. From all. that I cu learn, this story has the strongest claims to he believed. It is not of the same jeategoiy as tho tales give Unit so ipany and so noble fathers (to say nothing of tho ignoble ones, like Gep. Fleury for example) to thp poor lit tle Prince Imperial; it is said to be behoved in high places. For my part, if it l>o true, I think tho Empress happy that if she cannot, and she certainly cannot he congratulated on lu-r mother.jsbo may at least take some com fort in knowing that sho had a father she needn't be ashamed of. GEORGIA LEGISLATURE. ME HATE. FraiiT, July20. 1870. rsuant to adjournment, order at 10 a. by the and was President The Hot. Wesley Frettyman offered prayer. The roll was called and the jonrnal of the previous day read and approved. Mr. SMITH of the 6th offered the Sallowing as a substitute for the whole: Whereas, the constitutional term of the sev eral officers of this State, Including that of this General Assembly, ore necessarily dependent S the time when, under the several acts of •ess, the Constitution goes into operation i paramount law, freed from military in fluence; and Whereas, the act of Congress of July IS, 1876, docs hotfix said time, and the same can not be definitely settled until Congress shall decide by the actual admission of our ^Senators and Bepresehtatives; and ; ’ Whereas, it Is. unwise farther to'complicate affairs by the election of new officers while the period when the State Government, as sueh under the Constitution, begins its existence is uncertain; therefore. Resolved, That tile General Assembly bo ispe its legislation as that no election shall > held for the various officers provided for by the Constitution until Congress, by the admis sion at onr Senators and Representatives, or in some other way, shall definitely determine whether the Constitution of this State is held to go inw operation as the paramount law in JSCS or in 1870. Mr. WELLBOBH then took the floor, arid on motion his time was extended thirty min utes, which he occupied in on argument to show that the constitution vas in full force, b— * h* oOnflict with the laws of Congress.' As to postponing the elec tion, he said h, a. mid do all ho could to ex- the outrages tied by the Legislature; Bvery portion of it, and received df-tbe- School to agitate tho question. He Vnoved t* poripo tho consideration of the _ the course the debate had taken, and particularly with the temperate speech of the Senator from the 11th (Mr. Wooten), who hud treated.it as a question of law. Mr. CANDLER objected to the Senator go ing into the merits ot tho general question— all ho ooald speak upon was the question of postponement The PRESIDENT overruled Mr. Candler, deciding that the whole subject was open to debate. Mr. MERRELL continued. The question was one of law, whether under law and fact they were entitled to an election or not He recognized the people as the great source of powor; They choose their rulers—but it must be done according to law, and this was, as he had said, essentially a question of law. The lost speaker had said that the reconstruction acts had nothing to do with the question. He differed with him. The reconstruction laws were in fnll force until the Senators and Rep resentatives of Georgia were seated in Con gress, according to the language of those laws. The great question was how far the act of July, 1870, came in conflict with aud repealed those laws. The lower house* lasU4*cssion, paused a bill with the Bingham amendment, which stated that an election should be held this fall iu Georgia, The Senate refused to pass this, but said that nn election should be held under tho control of the military. The final under standing seemed to him to be, that. there should not l>e an election ordered by Congress, as Mr. Farnsworth’s resolution to that effect was defeated by 152 to 72. In the bill of 1870 it was stricken ont, which proved that at that time Congress was against requiring an elec tion. Congress had refused to say positively iT whether there should be an election or not, Kt bnt the debates all through showed that they ^*5 ufid not wish one. Even Mr. Thurman, the great Democratic leader, had said that it was in the power of the Legislature to hold au election. Mr. BURNS—Yes; bnt he said that if that power were used, it would be an usurpation. Mr. MERRILL admitted it, bnt that was what the Democrats had said nil along of the obstruction acts, they were all usurpations according to their account He (Mr. Merrill) thought they should take the Constitution aud the reconstruction acts together. Under the laws of Congress they were a legal LegisT when they had ratified tho 14th and It had been said that there was a fearful re sponsibility in postponement He thought there was a fearful responsibility in urging an irregular election. Unless tho Question was settled they would be having two sets of rep resentatives at the next Legislature. He had been home and talked to his constit uents on this matter, and they, after hearing what he had to say, were tion, they shall have my hearty support, for, if there is any thing I wish to do, it is to sup port the good people of Georgia, ne said lus greatest wish was to hear the news from Washington that Georgia’s Senators and Rep resentatives were seated, and then, anil only then, would they, have peace and prosperity in our State.. .. -- . , _ I wish also to State that you, with all of be best to postpone tlio election. Ho had your talk and all of your commotion, that you IsIVaiI XT*: ♦ Vl lllA KaaI n-.nn nn J «— L f,1l talked with the best men. Republicans and Democrats, and they came to that conclusion. He did not want an election until they could have one of. the old fashioned, ones—free, without militia or military. It was his honest conviction that on election now wogld result in bloodshed.. He knew no government but cannot effect an election next fall. The President, (Gen. Grant,) Mr. Akerman, or Gen. Terry, cannot order an election. The Congress of the United States alone can order an election. They (the President nor Gen. Terry)” have not that power, fbr it comes in direct conflict with the Reconstruction laws. the United States Government—no flag buf Congress itself refused to order it in 1870. (he stars and stripes. God had spread it, and Look at tho Bingham Amendment, when it amendments, which implied that they . not a legal body before that, and this, in 1 opinion, did not violate the Constitution, but it was a question on which‘the best legal minds of tho country differed. They should consider it coolly and dispassionately. Ue laid down tho position that the Constitution, which they hod all sworn to support; said that the members of tho House and one-half the Senate should hold office for a term of two years, it was spoken of os a term without ref erence to a beginning. They were provisional once, no one conld gniusayfthat. Tho question was this, how long were they provisional? He thought until both amendments were rati fied. They could go on under the Constitution until it came in conflict with the laws of Con gress, then it was no account. But were they still nnder the reconstruction laws ? If they were, that proved that the President, the ad ministration and Congress held that they were not yet fully relieved. H they had not fnll control of the State; if they were still subject to a higher power, then it showed that they still had a provisional government It was very hard indeed to get over the (Jth section of the act' of 1867, which provided that until their representatives were seated they were nnder provisional government He would not say that he wonld not sup port a bill to hold an election on the 25th of December if their Representatives were seated. The people have a nght to on election, and should have it at the earliest moment He thought the majority of tho people wonld be willing to abide by the law. All the fuss was made by the “outs” who wanted to .be “ins,” and a few discontented politicians. If tlie people were satisfied that tho law prohibited an electiou>b<dng held, they would be con tented. He was satisfied that the State would hove been admitted long ago if it hod not been for the refraotory conduct of some people, and the course threatened to be taken would keep it out. Congress, when the Pomeroy bill ])assed, b:ul said that they were not iu a con dition to hold an election. The Senator from tho.lltb, had said that*the Representatives had Been admitted in 1868, and the State ad mitted. That was very true, Congress thonght they had complied with its conditions iu good faith, bnt afterwards, when it was fouud thatthny had not so acted, the. decl sion was reversed, and they wore remanded to military rule. Congress took back Meade’t order and said it most be done over again. They onght to learn wisdom from the expe rience of the past. The resolution simply said that it was inexpedient to hold an election ; it did not prolong the terms. They were Sena tors, anyhow, until the second of January. Any legislation heeded before that time would have to be accomplished by them. It simply said it was inexpedient to bold an election until Congress meets, or he would not object to an election with a proviso that they should not qualify until their Senators And Represent atives wsre seated. Mr. TRAY WICK said he should vote against the resolution because his constituents be lieved that his predecessor who had been un seated had been elelected for that period and ho longer. Mr, SMITH 7th, was gratified to see the spirit manifested in tin* debate. Tun days ago his feelings and purposes on the question were different from what they were then, and he would give his reasons for the change. In the first place he had always doubted the ben eficial results of the election this f*lb He was identified with Georgia, it was the place of his birth and he hoped it would bo his burial place, and ho would do all he conld for her prosperity. He would not read acts and laws ho would leave that to lawyers. In hi$ con caption there was but one authority, Congress, Grant, and through them, Terry. They were here under that authority. It had been said that they were in the Union. He knew of no authority for. that statement, he had never seen it, they hodno authentic record and could, not act from rumor. Mr. NUNNALLY asked if the message of the Governor to the Senate announcing tlie fact was not sufficient Mr. SMITH said that, to tho best of his re collection, in that message the Governor said that he had received unofficial information of the fact, and that was not enough for him (Mr. Smith). Ho favored an election this ‘ “ if it would stated, but that was d< fnl, and he preferred to act, when he did act, permanently aud lastingly. He desired the a nestkm to be nettled by Congress, tile Presi- ent or Gen. Terry. ; What they said ho would submit to. Nor did his resolution bar au election to Congress this fall. It referred sim ply to State officials. If the President want ed" a State election, he could order one. If f when they acted on the report of the Fi nance Committee tho other day. General Terry had said they should not touch the school fund, they could not have drawn * dollar. he would protectit. He had sworn to that government Revolution and were talked ot They had tried that and failed, and hc hoped they would hear-tiomore of it This Was the most serious question that had come before him since he had been in the Legislature. As for as he was personally, con cerned, he did not -wont the position, and when his constituents said he aid not repre sent their views he would resign. He was honest in his opinions,, whatever any one may think, and if any said he was not, then he would say they were honest in their opinions if mistaken. ’ Mr. HINTON followed in an eloquent effort against 4ho resolution. He said that if Gen eral Tefty said there should be no election, then he fbr one would not say another word l the-aubject Mr. SPEER moved to adjourn until Mon day. Lost Mr. HARRIS moved to extend the session until 2 o’clock. Carried. Mr. HIGBEE wished to offer a substitute for the original resolutions. Che PRESIDENT saig he could not then Mr. HIGBEE then took the floor and raid his substitute, which is os as follows: - Whereas, by an act of Congress, approved July 15, 1870, Georgia has been declared enti tled to representation iu Congress; and . Whereas, Senators and Representatives naare: not yet been admitted, and until such admis sion any civil government in the State is’pro- visional, and subject to the paramc^rnt au thority of the United States; and Whereas, the military order assigning Ma jor General Terry to the command of the Mili tary District of Georgia, under the reconstruc tion laws, has not been revoked ; therefore, • Resolved, by the General Assembly of the State of Georgia, That it . is deemed.inexpedi ent that any legislation of the General Assem bly, or any aendu by the people of Georgia, be had or done by .which any impediment might be placed in the way of the complete restoration of the State to representation in Congress as a State of the Union. 2. Be it further resolved, That no election shall be held in Georgia until after farther action of Congress admitting, or signifying her intention to admit, the State to fnll repre sentation in Congress as a State of the Union. 3. Be it farther resolved. That the General Assembly repeal the election law’s prescribed in Irwin’s Revised Code, not adapted to onr present State Constitution, and proceed to the enactment of others in their stead, sui table Ao onr present form of government. 4. Be it farther resolved, That the General Assembly do now proceed to the general legis lation demanded by the wants of tho State and the recommendation of tho people. He supported his views in a speech which occupied the full time allowed. Mr. HUNG^RFORD called the previous question which, after a slight debate, was sustained. Mr. MERRELL moved to adjourn, lost on division by the. casting vote of the President The amendment of Mr._ WELLBORN to postpone the question to the 15th of August, was lost by 15 to 19 os follows: Those voting in the affirmative are Messrs. Barns, Candler, Dunning, Fain, Griffin of the Gtb, Hicks, Hinton, Mathews, McArthur, Nes bitt, Nnnnally, Smith of the 36th, Traywick, Wellborn, Wooten—15. Those voting in the negative are Messrs. Brocket Campbell, Col man, Corbitt, Crayton, Dickey, Griffin of the 21st, Hams, Henderson, Henry, Higbee, Hungerford, Jones, Merrill, Sherman, Smith of the 7th, Speer, Wallace, Welch—19. • The substitute of Mr. SMITH was then pnt and carried by 21 to 14 as follows: * Those voting in the affirmative are Messrs Bowers, Brock, Campbell, Colman, Corbitt, Crayton, Dickey, Griffin Gth," Griffin 21st, Harris, Henderson; Henry, Higbee, Hunger- ford.

Mr. BURNS gave notice that he would move the reconsideration of the «nbjeot to morrow. Leave of absence was granted to Senators Dickey and Holcomb. On motion, the Senate adjourned to Mon day at 10 a.x. During the session, seats were tendered on the floor to Jerry Cowles, CoL D. A. Thorn ton aud A. T. Burke. waslost in the Senate,' and came back to the House. 4 What ‘did Farnsworth endeavor to engraft info the House bill? Nothing more or less than a clause compelling the people of Georgia to hold an election this fall ; What was the result? On the-15th of Jane, 1870, the House refused to comply with that clause, by a large'majority. He referred to the con dition of Kansas, while under similar Recon struction laws, and compared her history with onr own. He believed that the Legislature was only -holding what rightfully belonged to them, and it was not a matter for the people to determine. He said he had always looked well for the prosperity and growing grandeur of Georgia. He was always' a friend to all railroads, the educational and manufacturing interests of Georgia. He had never lived anywhere but in the South; never had been away from her boundaries, and never expected to, and should always labor for the welfare of his State. He believed candidly that the term of office of each one of the Senators commenced on the 15thJ^^pne last, when the hist reconstruction no referred to the language of the Senator from the 42d district (Mr. Burns) in regard to the remarks made by that gentleman, that all members of both Houses were unfit to repre sent the people; he did not like such language and did not believe that it came from a sinoere inviction. He then referred to the persons who violated tho Constitution, and cited many instances, among them the expulsion of the colored -per sons, the School Fund, etc., and'referred to the findings of the Supreme Court to Substan tiate his argument He then briefly attended to what the oppo tion terms “greasing,” and said if there was any greasing done in the committee on the investigation of the State Road, that it was sworn to by Democrats, and that they swore there was none, and that if there was any gjeasihg they hair sworn falsely—but that they were gentlemen and he believed that they had sworn the truth, and the evidence was that there was lione. He then alluded to the hue and cry of nip.o dollars a day, and showed, by the act of 18G5, that it was a Democratic vote which increased the per diem of members from four to six, and from six to nine dollars, in 18G8, when the Legislative was entirely Democratic. Upon this question he dwelt at considerable length, and showed that the Democrats refused to de crease the pav. In closing, he' reviewed the thread of his argument in a sincere manner, and urged the ite to weigh the matter under considera- forefoll ‘ V ^ BRADLEHfti occupied the floor, aud his rising was the for many of the Sen ators and visitors to leave, we presume, for the purpose of “seeing a man" across the street. Having fretted his little half hoar away, The time of the session was, on moti- tended to two o’clock; and, Mr. COLMAN moved to lay the motion to reconsider on the table, which was carried by tbe following vote: Yeas—Messrs. Bowers, Campbell, Colman, Corbitt, Crayton, Harris, Henderson, Henry, Higbee, Hungerford, Merrell, Sherniau, Speer, Stringer, Wallace, Welch—1G. Nays—Messrs. Bradley, Burns, Candler, Fain, Hinton, Jordan, Banning, Matthews, Nesbitt, Nunnally, Smith (7th), Wellborn, Wooten—13 Mr. McArthur paired off with Mr Griffin, of the 6th. Mr. Wellborn protested against Mr. Henry being allowed to vote, because he bad not filled his oath, bnt tho protest was over-ruled. A message lying on the table from his Ex cellency the Governor, referring to the l*eni- tiary. was taken up, read and referred to the Penitentiary Committee. XT- uivr who aro candidates for thJ'pusition C’ and because they fail to get the position, the edi tor, in common with his party friends who want office and have it not, “ cry in thier des peration at the intolerable nuisance of Radi calism.” Many thanks are due, and are hereby ten dered, tp tho Senate for tho privilege extended tome, fi On motion the matter was referred to a committee of five, consisting of Messrs Hin ton, Boyers, Speer Matthews and Harris. Mr. lqJRNS offered a resolution to request the Committee on Printing to inquire into all the facts concerning State printing; whether the State Frinter has resigned, and who is ex ercising ilio duties of that office, and whether nnder bond ornot — Mr. HARRIS moved to lay the resolution on thojable, which motion at ope time was declared-passed, but on a subsequent putting of the vote was declared lost. ;; Mr. li uigerford offered au amendment, di recting the Printing Committee to inquire of- the Governor whether the State Printer has resigned. * . The resolution of Mr. Burns was adopted 1 and referred to the Printing Committee. A message was received from the House, announcing the passage of a resolution to re fer the report of the Investigating Committee on the Penitentiary to a joint committee of five from tho Sana to and seven from the House. Several House bills were read a fiast time, and the Senate adjourned. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Fbiday, July 29, 1870. The Speaker called Iho House tq order at the usnal hour. Prayer by Dr. Brantly. The journal of yesterday was read. Mr. SIMMS continued ms remarks on the Penitentiary report, saying that the number of colored convicts in the penitentiary is not duo to emancipation but to the degradation inci dent to slavery. He argued that tho contract has been often violated by the present les sees, aud gave a minute discription'of the in ternal management of the stockade. Mr. BEARD said that while he does not agree with the recommendations of the Committee, still he would not impugn the motives of that boilv r -Uiat tho treatment of convicts by the present lessees is not only cruel but inhuman. He advocated the abolition of whipping as a punishment for convicts. Mr. TURNER said that he is unable to de cide whether or not it‘will be the best to re mand the convicts to the Penitentiary or to throw safe-guards around them in the present system; that everything has been taken a Way from the Penitentiary. He advocated the plan of working convicts eight hours per day, and provide religious and moral training tOr them, that so much fuss has been made over the report that he is sorry that any re port was made, and wishes that the evidence alone had been presented. - He advocates that a committee of eight men be appointed who shall take the whole matter under cousidcra tion. Mr. RICE said that the gentleman from Richmond county had made a running speech to excite passion and to reinstate himself with a certain set; and that tlie chairman, a Christian and upright gentleman, had been unwarrantably attacked, and that he, the gentleman irow Camden, had the respect of all men, and especially the Republican party; and none doubt but that ho is true to nis principles; that he was glad to seo that Mr. Turner had taken a substantial and sensible view of the question; that the treatment of convicts has latterly improved, and that the whole matter must be referred to a committee Mr. ECHOLS moved to refer the matter to a joint committee of seven from the House and tine from the Senate, which motion prevailed. Mr. HILLYER refuted the aspersions of Mr.Simms, “that there was money or meanness behind his speech,” and stated that Mr. Simms tacitly did agree to the report, though he may not have signed. M. SHUMATE introduced a resolution to tho effect that no member bo allowed to speak at auy one time longer than 30 minutes with out the consent of a majority of tho members present, which motion prevailed. A communication in writing from the Gov ernor was announced and read. The communi cation related to a memorial from Mrs. B. B. Cohen and P. S. Solomons, asking relief. His Excellency endorsed a message of ex-Gov. H. V. Johnson on the subject, and recommends a ch action as to justice may appertain. The mmnnication and message were referred to B Finance Committee. On motion of Mr. TURNER, Hon. Joslirii Whereas, on the 28th day of July last, W-r-cytilli Han. T. P. Saffold and Hon. P. M. Rjis- W. Merrill, Senator from the 37th Senatorial ** " District, and Chairman of the Senate Jndiciaiy Monday, August 1st, 1870. The Senate met pursuant to Adjournment and was called to order at 10, a. m., by the PRESIDENT. After prayer by the Rev. Wesley Prettyman, the roll was called and the jonrnal of the pre vious day read and approved. Mr. BURNS, according to previous notice, moved to reconsidS* the action in adopting the resolution offered by Mr. Smith of the 7th. Mr. HIGBEE s}>oke iu reference to a modi fication of the resolutions adopted, and an imadverted upon the publication of “rolls of infamy." Mr. BROCK said that be arose to speak on tho proposition now before the Senate, viz : the reconsideration of the vote passed on last Friday. He said be proposed to do it from a legal stand-point, and to show what the law is on this case. He said he intended to say nothing discourteous, but establish himself npon the records of the case. He said ho had been looked npon and sneered at by many members of the Senate, and, in some instances, had been considered os the cause of all this trouble in the Senate. But he wished to say that there was no Sena tor within this hall who had a higher regard for each member tlian'hedid. He had dif fered, of course, with many of them on politi cal grounds, ever since 18G0,-but his differ ence was one of conscience, because he be lieved their political coarse to be disastrous and rninons to the best interests of Georgia. Then give to him, he said, thT? honor due him when he got through the record which he proposed to submit to the Senate. He said he expected to show to all, who the people were who have brought this confusion, expense and extravagance into the State, and would prove thisrirhole thing by the records, by the dates, and by the parties who in terested themselves with this question. He said he would ok a lawyer join issue with the able lawyers on the other side, that it is not a violation of the Constitution of the State of Georgia, and that it is in strict compliance with the Constitution of the State of Georgia. When they were elected Senators to that body, the people elected them be lieving that they would come in as regular Senators, and that from the time the Consti tution was adopted, and they did not think at that time, that Georgia wonld remain os a provisional government, os long as she had. They did not anticipate any such thing. Now what does the reconstruction laws, say ? I claim to be a lawyer and propose- to join issue with the lawyers on the .other side. The Senator then read the first article of the Re construction Laws, dated March 2d, 18G7. Now, by that law, he asked if tills State had been a fixed, stable and permanent govern ment; or hod it been merely a provisional one? After reading the act of 18G7, he appealed to the Senators if this act stopped them? He read on and said that the State was not ad mitted until the Senators and members were seated, and until these Senators arid members had taken the oath, then tlie State is admit ted. Now this law has never been carried into effect. Every one knows it, and every one knows that Georgia has been and is to-day provisional. - Then what does the ordinance say which was framed by the State Convention ? And an ordinance which has never been repealed. Georgia stands to-day as she did when that ordinance was passed. He said he was tired with all this wrangling, fuss, and confusion, which now disgraces the State of Georgia, and he trusted that God Almighty will so actuate every one of them in such a way that this torrible,and unfortunate state of affairs, will forever cease* He thenreod this ordinance and also, the second act of tho Reconstruction laws. - Then he 6aid all of these fitots staring them in the face, how could they argue this case in the matter in which they had done. When onr Senators and Representatives are seated in Congress, if the people want an elec- Committee, did give and furnish to his son-in- law J. C. C. Carltofi, the following certificate: Atlanta, Ga., July 28, 1870. I certify that J. C. C. Carlton is clerk of the Committee on the Judiciary of the Senate, and that his services were required aud actually performed, beginning on the 11th instant, and is therefore entitled to the same per diem pay as a member. IV. IV. Merrill, Chairman. And Whereas, the said J. C. C. Carlton did present the said certificate to the State Treas- urey and received on the same the sum of two hundred dollars as clerk of said Judiciary Committee, and Whereas, the said certificate was untruo in this, that said Carlton was not and is not the clerk .of said Judiciary Committee aud that his services were never required and ho has not actually performed any service as said clerk, therefore be it Resolved, that that said W. W. Merrell be, aud he is hereby expelled from the Seunte for misconduct in giving and furnishing said false and faudulent certificates by which the State has been defrauded of the sum of twe hundred dollars. Mr. SPEER offered the following as a sub stitute : Resolved, That tho conduct of Senator.Mer- rell, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, in certifying that J. C. Carton was entitled to tiie compensation of a member as Clerk of the Judiciary Committee, from the 11th of July, ultimo, when said Committee had never had any meeting, is decidedly reprehensible and as said Committee has never had any meet ing or done any business whatever, therefore Resolved, That the said J. C. C. Carlton be requested and directed to return the amount drawn from the Treasurer, withont the sanc tion of law or resolution, forthwith to the Treasury, where it properly belongs. Resolved, That the Treasurer, iu the future, be directed and requested not to pay any mem ber of the Legislature, or clerk, or subordi nate officer, of either branch of the General Assembly, unless said accounts are audited by the auditing commjttgs of tho respective com mittees of each House, Mr. MERRILL rose and offered the follow ing explanation: My attention has been called to an article that appeared in the Sunday morning issue of The Atlanta Constitution headed “Senator Merrill and the Family.” The article does me- 1 great injustice, and I ask the indulgence of the S anto to moke a statement of the facts and set myself right before tho Senate and the country, their decision I am ready to abide*. The plain unvarnished facts are as follows: The day after the committee was announced; I mode known to the members of the commit tee who were present (two being absent) my wish to have Mr. Carlton for our clerk, giving my reasons—among others, that the chairman was responsible for the correctness of the re ports and other duties performed by the clerk, «fcc.—that I wished to nave one with whom I was acquainted, and asked the consent of each member for his appointment, and that we have no election' for clerk, for . it was 'expected that business would come before us very soon, and that wo could not have a fall meeting perhaps for some time as two members were absent _ Each and every member, except one, gavo his consent, as I understood heartily, for the Chairman to ap point tho Clerk, the one objecting, said that he preferred an election, but if in a fall meeting a majority decided to have none he wonld offer no objection, npon tbis the Chair man gave Mr. Caritou, a certificate, that he was appointcff*elerk by the chairman with the consent of a majority of tiie Commit tee and directed him to be in readiness to per form his duties as sneh. A meeting of the Committee was called three different times, an evening session and other causes preventing -we had no meeting, but Mr. Carlton was in at tendance every day after his appointment ready to perform any duty assigned him, As to tho drawing of tho $200, this is amat ter with whieh I have nothing to do; I simply certified to his appointment and the time. Whether Mr. Carlton was entitled to draw $200 upder the joint resolution .recently passed, is a question that did not come before me, I certified that he was entitled tq per diem pay as a member, which simply means for the number of days that lie served as clerk of the committee. The article referred to shows upon its face, while it made the attack upon me personally, that the real object of the writer was to dam age the party to which T have the honor to be long, and in the interest of “twodeserving young friends,” (party friends^ no doubt,) sell were invited to seats on tlio floor of this House.

False Pretences.—-The vast uml contin ually increasing sales of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters have provoked the envy of a certain class of dealers various parts of the country, who are trying to substi tute their utterly worthless local nostrums for the most popular proprietary mcdicino in the world.— These imposters hope by their false statements to ob tain from the millions who patronize the great Ameri can Tonic, a sufficient number of customers to make their speculations upon the health of their neighbors profitable. As the demand for Hostetter’s Bitters is so large and urgent as to tax their fullest extent the facilities for its manufacture, these petty attempts to wring in the merest trash by false representations, of little consequenco to its proprietors.

The universality of the demand for the Pain Killer 1 a novel, interesting, and surprising feature in the history of this medicine. Its “fame has gone out” into every quarter of the habitable globe. The Pain Killer is now regularly sold in large and steadily in creasing quantities, not only to general agents in every State and Territory of the Union, and every Province of British America, but to Buenos Ayres.. Brazil, Ura- guay, Peru, Chili and other South American States, to the Sandwich Islands, to Cubs, and other West India Islands; to England and Continental Europe; to Mo zambique, Madagascar, Zanzibar and other African lands; to Australia and Calcutta, Rangoon and other places in India. It has also been sent to China, and we doubt if there is any foreign port or any inland city in Africa or Asia, which is frequented by Ameri can and European missionaries, travelers or traders, into which the Pain Buffer has not been introduced and been sought after. The extent of its usefulness is another great feature of this remarkable medicine. It is not only the best thing ever known, as everybody will confess, for bruises, cuts, burns. Sec., but for dysentery or cholera, or any sort of bowel complaint it is a remedy unsur passed for efficiency and rapidity of action. In the great cities of British India, and in the West India Islands and other hot climates, it has become the stan dard medicine for all such complaints, as well as for dyspepsia, liver complaints, and other kindred disor ders. For coughs and colds, canker, asthma and rheu matic difficulties, it has been proved by the most abun dant and convincing trials and testimony, to be an in valuable medicine. The proprietors are in possesion of letters from persons of the highest character and responsibility, testifying, in unequivocal terms, to the cures effected and the satisfactory results produced, in an almost endless variety of casos, by tho use ot this great medicine.—Providence Advertiser. gold by L.
