Wesley Prettyman the roll was called and the journal of the pre vious day read and approved. On motion of Mr. SPEEB, Gen. Duff Green was invited to a seat on the floor of the Sen- ntf. '**T Mr. SPEEB moved that guests be furnished chairs by the messengers. Carried. Mr. BROCK moral that the Secretary be authorized to increase the clerical force of the Senate to such a number as was absolutely necessary. On motion of Mr. HARRIS the resolution was tabled for the present. Mr. SP.KF.lt offered a resolution that the report of the investigating committee on the charges against the Governor and Treasurer bo referred to the Finance Committee, to re port as early as practicable: Mr. BURNS wanted to refer it to a special committee. * Mr. DUNNING opposed referring it to any committee. A motion to table was lost by yeas 10, nays The motion to refer to Finance Committee prevailed. The Committee on Banks reported favora bly on the bill to incorporate tho Georgia Banking Company of Savannah, with some amendments. On motion, the Senate concurred in the House resolution of condolence for the death of Hon. B. W. Flournoy. Mr. CAMPBELL, moved the following reso- lotions: Whereas, By an act of Congress, approved • July 15,1870, Georgia has been declared en titled to representation in Congrees; and Whereas, Senators and Representatives have not yet been admitted, ana until such admission any Civil Government in the State is subject to the paramount authority of the United States; and -• Whereas, Tho -military orders assigning Major General Terry to the command of the Military District of Georgia, under the Recon struction laws, have not been revoked. We. therefore, deem it inexpedient and improper that any legislation, by the General Assembly or any action by the people of Georgia, ahonld be had or done by which any impediment might be placed in the way of the immediate admission of her Senators and Representatives to seats in their respective homes upon the assembling of Obngress in December next. Be it, therefore, Resolved, by the Senate and House of Rep resentatives, in General Assembly met, That no election shall be held in Georgia until after the final action of Congress tally recognizing tho accomplishment of the reconstruction of Georgia by tho admission of her Senators and Representatives to their seats. 2. Be it further resolved. That the General Assembly repeal the election laws prescribed in Irwin's Revised Code not adapted to onr pres ent State Constitution, and proceed to the en actment of others in their stead snitablo to our present form of government 3. Be it further resolved. That the General Assembly do now proceed to the general legis lation demanded by the wants of tbo State and the recommendation of our constituents. Mr. BROCK moved to make them the spe cial order for to-morrow at 11 o'clock. A motion was made to make them the spe cial order for next Tuesday, which was lost The motion to make special order for to- morrow was carried. A message was received from the House announcing the passage of a resolution to ap point a joint committee to attend the taneral of Maleom Claibom, deceased, of Burks The Senate concurred in the resolution, and the President nominated Messrs. Camp bell and Crayton as tho Senate Committe. The Senate then adjourned in respect to tho WxorresDAT, July 27, 1870. The Senate met pursuant to adjournment, and was called to ordeT by the President at 10*. K. After prayer by the Rev. Wesley Prettyman, the roll was called and the journal of the pro vions day read and approved. Mr. WELLBORN, daring the reading of the journal, gave notice of a motion to reconsider that portion of it which referred to making the reaolntioiu offered by Mr. Campbell, the special order of to-day, and when tho journal had been read, he stated his reasons, which were, that several Senators wore absent and that they should have an opportunity to be present without dodging the ancstion. Mr. HUNGERFORD moved that the reso lution to raoonaider be tabled. The yeas and nays ware called with the following result: Yeas—Messrs. Brock, Campbell, Caiman, Corbitt,Crayton,Dickey,,Griffin (21st.) Harris, Henderson, Higbee, Hnugcrford, Jones, Mer rill, Sherman, Wallace and Welch—16. Nats—Messrs. Burns, Candler, Donning. Fain, Hicks, Hinton, Mathews. McArthur, Nesbitt, Nnnnally, Richardson, Smith (SGth) Stringer, Trnywick, Wellborn and Wool- The PRESIDENT voted yes, and the mo tion to lay the resolution on the tabic was carried. The Committee on Privileges and Elections mode a report that they found that the Into R R. McCutehcn, hod refused to take tho oath; that be was ineligible, and that William Henry having received the next highest num ber of Votes was entitled to his sent ns Sena- tor from the 44th District. Mr. HIGBEE, in a few remarks supported the report of the committee, who, with one ex ception, had coins to the above conclusion. In tho course of the examination no reflections bad been east upon the character of Mr. Henry, and the committee was satisfied that he would reflect credit on his district and the State. Mr. WELLBORN submitted a minority ro-' port. Mr. HIGBEE moved the adoption of the ma jority report. Mr. BURNS said that several parties from Mr. Henry’s district wished to give evidence before the committee, and they hod not yet had time to ofier it In order that they might do so, he moved to recommit tho report Mr. HIGBEE thought that ample time bad been given to bring forward evidence. Tho opinion of the committee was almost unani moot dn the three propositions named. Mr. SPEER said Mr. MeCutchen himself had told him that he eonld not qualify, and was going home; and when pressed to do so, he and no—be was the best radge of bis own conscience. He (Mr. Speer) had great respect for Mr. Henry. If in qualifying he perjured himself, he would render himself liable to a charge of perjury before the Superior Court Mr. FAIN supported the motion to re-com mit and Mr. BROCK urged the adoption of the Sir. NUNN ALLY asked Mr. Brock on what principle of law he would seat Mr. Henry tier the Constitution or the Reconstruction laws. Mr. BROCK said, under ihe Reconstruction laws. Mr. HIGBEE moved tho previous question which was carried, and the Senate decided not to re-commit the report by a vote of 11 to 21 as follows: Yeas—Messrs. Burns, Candler, Fain, Hicks, Hinton, Mathews, McArthur, Nesbitt, Nun- nally. Wellborn, Wooten—11. Nut-lion Campbell. Colman, Corbitt,Cray- ton. Dickey, Dunning, Griffin Gth,Griffin 21st, Harris, Henderson, Higbee, Hnngerford, Mor rell, Richardson, Sherman, Speer, Stringer, Wallace, Welch, Brock, Jones—21. The question then recurred upon the mo tion to adopt the majority report Mr. CANDLER raised a point of order, which was evermied, that the previous ques tion had exhausted the subject Me. BUBNS again appealed for delay to en able the Walker county men to come np and give their evidence. After some rather warm remarks from Mr. CANDLER, the question was put and the re. port of tho conflmttee adopted, by 23 to 3, as follows: - Yeas—Messrs. Brock, Campbell. Colman, Corbit, Crayton, Diakey, Donning, Griffin (8th), Griffin (2fst), Hams, Henderson, Hicks, Higbee, Hnngerford, Mathews, MezrsQ, Rich ardson, Sherman, Speer, Stringer, Jones, Wallace, Welch-23. Nats—Messrs, Burns. Candler, Fain, Hin- ton, McArthur, Nesbitt Naturally, Wellborn Wooten—9. Mr. HINTON gave notioe that he would move for a re-consideration to-morrow. A motion was then mado to swear in William Henry. Tina aroused all the ire and oratorical pow ers of tho Democratic member* of the Senate. Mr. CANDLER rad Mr. HINTON, each, ex hausted the tune allowed for debate (half an honr) in eloquent efforts to cany their point which was to prolong discussion until tho it had Mr. HIGBEE obtained the floor and called » previous question, which was ordered on division by 19 to 12. The main question was then put and Mr. Henry was seated by a majority of 22 to 10, os follows: Yeas—Messrs. Brock, Campbell, Colman Corbett, Crayton, Dickey, Dnnning, Griffin Gth, Griffin 21st Harrison, Henderson, Hig- *J •e, Hungerford, Jones, Mathews, Merrell, ecrman. Smith 2Gth, Speer, Stringer, Wal- cc, Welch—22. Nats—Messrs. Bums, Candler, Faip, Hin- n. McArthur, Nesbitt, Nnnnally, Traywick, Wellborn, .Wooten—10. Mr. CANDLER handed in a protest against Mr. Henry's taking the oath, which was read. Mr. HENRY then canto forward and was qualified as Senator of Georgia before U. 8. Commissioner, W. R Smith. Pterions to Mr. Henry taking the oath, Mr. CANDLER moved an adjournment which was negatived on division. The President was in tho act of announcing tho result when Mr. NUNNALLY called for the yeas rad nays. The PRESIDENT said it was too lato and proceeded to fimiah the announcement of tho division. Mr. NUNNALLY maintained his posi tion. The PRESIDENT told him he was out of order. Mr. NUNNALLY, who was pale with in tense feeling, said he knew it, and if the Sen ate wanted to expel him they could do it, the sooner the better. Mr. BUBNS said there were nine of them who would follow if/. Nnnnally out of the Senate. This scene -created great excitement and much applause from the galleries. When Mr. Henry turned from the desk and looked for a seat,* the gentlemen on the Dem ocratic side of the House raised an ironical laugh, and when the Senator had taken a seat they were courteous enough to hiss. Mr. HUNGEBFOED moved to extend the time of the session to two o'clock. Mr. BBOCK moved to take up the special order. ^ Carried. A message was received from his Excellency the Governor, through Mr. Atkinson, his Sec retary. Mr. HABBIS moved that when the Senate abjeurn, it meet at 4 p. h. Mr. NUNNALLY took the floor, his excite ment having abated somewhat, but yielded to. Mr. BBOCK, who moved that tho Senate do now adjourn, which was carried. Thursday, July 28, 1870. Tho Senate met at the usual hour and was colled to order by the President Prayer was offered by the Bev. Wesley Prettyman. The roll was called and the journal of the previous day was read and confirmed. Mr. BRADLEY offered a resolution that Senator Nunally did, on yesterday, behave in a disorderly, manner, and used language con trary to the rules of the Senate, and that the resolution be referred to General Terry and ask him what action was necessary to be taken in tho matter. The President ruled tho, resolution out of order. The special order being the- resolutions of Mr. Campbell, they were taken up. Mr. NUNNALLY offered the following as a substitute for them: Whereas, Different views are entertained by members of the General Assembly in regard to elections under the Reconstruction acts of Congress; and Whereas, AJjach confusion may result from precipitate action in regard thereto; and Whereas, The Hon Amos T. Akerman, a citizen of Georgia, baa been made Attorney General by the President of the United States, showing bis entire confidence in bis ability; and Whereas, The Hon. Amos T. Akerman is fully acquainted with the laws of this State, as well as the Reconstruction acts of Congress; therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Repre sentatives in General Assembly met, That no action be taken by this General Assembly upon the question of an election this fall, until the opinion of the United States Attor ney General is obtained upon tho laws of Congress and this State in regard thereto; and be it further Resolved, That the Governor be, and he is hereby, requested to communicate with the Hon. AmosT. Akerman, Attorney General, and famish him with a cojpy of these resolu tions, and request his opinion at the earliest day practicable. Mr. WOOTEN made an able and elaborate speech in opposition to the resolutions. His manner was in marked contrast to the violence of Messrs. Candler and Hinton yesterday, bis language being temperate and his manner ns iisoal, courteous and gentlemanly. On motion, Mr. Wooten’s time was extended, and he occupied the attention of the Senate for forty minutes. Mr. HlOBEF. tallowed in a carefully pre pared well digested speech. His argument is clear and unanswerable. He said : By tho reconstruction act passed March 2d, 18C7, it is declared, “That until tho people of tho State shall be by law admitted to represent ation in Congress, any civil government which may exist therein shall be deemed provisional only, and subject to the paramount authority of the United States at any tune to abolish, modify, conirol or supersede the same.” By the act of Congress passed June 25th, 1868, usually called the ‘Omnibus Admission Bill,.” it was declared, that Georgia “shall be entitled and admitted to representation in Con gress, as a State of the Union, when the Leg islature of said State shall have duly ratified the XIVth Amendment,” and given its assent to a certain condition imposed by said act, and, furthermore, shall have respected tho prohibition from holding office contained in section three of the XIVth Amendment Also, the following words are found in that act: “And it is hereby made the duty of the Presi dent, within ten days after receiving official .information of the ratification of said Amend ment by the Legislature, to issue a proclama tion announcing that fact” The President did anuonnee what he, perhaps, deemed a fact, the due ratification of the XIVth Amendmedt But such was not the fact It lrnd not then been duly ratified. The body ratifying was not constituted in acconlunco with law—was not, in fact, a legally constituted body, and was so declared afterwards. No doubt tho members elect from Georgia to the lower House of Congress, interested as they were to-obtain their seat3 thereof, repre sented tho situation of tho friends of recon struction iu Georgia in as favorable a light as possible; that they were capable of maintain ing their rights and the liberties of all. What tboy, no doubt, desired, sir, I am willing to pay them the compliment, they were per suaded to'bdieve and give currency to, as a fact. Congress, however, soon learned their delu sion, and acted accordingly. As was stated yesterday by an honorable member on this floor—and I say it iu fib unfriendly spirit— ’“Whom tho geds would destroy, {hey first make mad.” Members of tho Legislature rushed on, in their madness, to revolutionary acts, and the hopes of immediate and com plete restoration to the Union were destroyed. The eyes of Congress were directed to their proceedings. So, now, blinded by a strange infatuation— I know no other term—men seem rushing on to repeat the errors of the past After the proclamation of tho President, Representatives from Georgia were admitted to their seats. The military officers turned over the government to the civil officers elect and the civil officers assumed authority, and legislated and governed Georgia as a real State until Congress passed the act of Decem ber 22d, 18C9, whereby it was declared that Georgia was not admitted to representation, and could not be until she had respected the prohibition from holding office contained in tho XIVth' Amendment; had reseated tho.col ored members, and ratified the XVth Amend ment to the Constitution of the United States. Thereupon cettain general orders were countermanded and tho military resumed con trol over the State. The Legislature was re organized; the XIVth and XVth Amendments to the Constitution of the United -States rati fied, and consent given to a certain condition imposed whereupon Congress by an aetpassed July 15th, 1870, declared the State of Georgia entitled to representation in Congress, was much as tho Reconstruction acts had finally been respected and the XVth Amendment duly ratified by a legal Legislature. And fur thermore declares, that nothing in that act or other acts should be construed to affect the term of officers or of members of the General Assembly elected nnder the restrictions of the Constitution of the State. By the Constitution of the State of Georgia the term of office of the members of 'the House and one-half of the Senators is two years, and this term, by tho act referred to here, - is not to be affected. By the Convention of 1867 and 1868, it was ordained that persons elected, (referring to Governor, members of the General Assembly, Ac.,} os provided in the Constitution, shall enter upon the duties of the several offices to which they have been respectively elected, tthen ordered so to do by act of Congress or by the order of the General commanding, and shall continue in office till the regular succession provided for after the year 1S6S, and until successors are elected and qualified, so that said officers shall, each of them, hold their offices, as though they were elected on the Tuesday after the first Monday in Novem ber 1868. The first election for Governor, members of the General Assembly Ac., was held at the time as for voting on tho ratification of the Constitution, for tho purpose of avoiding any unnecessary delay or loss of timo and use less expense to the State. On the presump tion that tho Constitution would bo ratified by the people and approved by Congress, and the State admitted in time for the officers and members of the General Assembly elected to act as State officers after admission, to date their official term from November 1868. Had the State been admitted in ’68, the term of office of the present members of the General Assembly and all civil officers would dote from that year, '68. But os Congress, December 22d, '69, declared that, the State was not admitted, and could not be, except on certain conditions, and afterwards July 15th, *70, when said conditions seemed to have been complied with in good faith by a legal legisla ture, Congress declared the State of Georgia entitled to representation in tho Congress of the United States. It therefore follows that tho official term of Bwmhew of the General Assembly, as of all civil officers elected in *68, must commence iu '70, provided the State shall be by law admit ted to representation as a State -of the Union during that jrear. otherwise their legal rights and the rights or Electors would not be re spected. I know it has been said that we ore to have an election this fall,'irrespective of the. action of the Legislature. I hope, however, that the decision of the Legislature will be such as net only the laws demand, but the rights and privileges of electors and elected; and that this decision will be respected and acceded to by the people, is also approved by the au thorities to whom we are amenable. None perhaps, know the intensity of my desire to see the South and aU sections of the country prosperous and free; Government in the hands of the most enlightened and just;-all classes, all races, all citizens permitted to progress, and finally to attain that maximum of refine ment and power, which their interests, their necessities, and their instincts demand. Mr. SPEER moved to suspend the rules and take np the House bill to ascertain the amount of the school fund, and to allow the State to borrow the some and deposit bonds. The bill was read, mid was opposed by Messrs. Burns and Candler. It was supported by Messrs. Merrell,Harris and Wooten. Mr. HIGBEE said: I do not rise to argue the propriety of passing this bill. The mem bers of the Senate do not desire it. They seem ready now to act upon it But I do desire to say that I regret very much tho conflict of opinion existing between the Executive and the Treasurer. Iam willing, bo far as possible, to regard them as honorable men. And while I am willing to say this, I am unwilling that tho civil officers of the State be longer de prived of their pay, when funds are in the Treas ury which may be used without marring any In terest; but on the contrary, promote the best and dearest interest, namely: that of educa tion. by making such use of the educational fund, us when needed for disbursement, it will be far more enhanced in value, and more safe than as now used. He called the previous question, which was sustained. The bill passed by a vote of 29 to 8. as fol- ws: Yeas—Messrs. Bradley, Brock, Campbell. Coleman, Crayton, Dunning, Fain, Griffin, 6th; Griffin, 21st; Harris, Henderson, Henry, Higbee, Hungerford, Jones, Mathews, Merrill, McArthur, Nnnnally, Richardson, Sherman, Smith, 7th; Smith, 36th; Speer, Stringer, Traywick, Wallace, Welch and Wooten—29. Nays—Messrs. Bowers, Bums, Candler, Dickey, Hicks, Hinton, Nesbitt and Wellborn —8. Mr. CAMPBELL rose to argue his resolu tions .bnt gave way to Mr. SMITH (7th), who offered an amend ment striking out all after tho words “no election,” and inserting “that this General Assembly, being provisional, has no power over the .question of elections until such time as the final action of Congress fully recogniz ing the accomplishment of tho reconstruction of Georgia, by the admission of her Senators and Representatives in Congress to their seats,” which amendment was accepted by Mr. Campbell. Mr. CAMPBELL then addressed the Senate at length contending that, as the government only a provisional one, they could not le- y hold an election. r. WELLBORN then took the floor and occupied it until the hour of adjournment, in an argument against tho resolution. He gave way to Mr. HARRIS, who moved that when the Senate adjourn it meet at £ r. xr. for tho read ing of bills a second time, which was carried. Mr. WELLBORN hold the floor to-morrow, svzaoso SESSION. The Senate met at 4 r. m., pursuant to ad journment The President in the chair.

Dr. Crawford. The journal of yesterday’s proceedings was read. Mr. HALL, of Glynn, gave notice that he would move for a reconsideration of so much of yesterday’s proceedings, as relates to the expulsion of Moses Bentley, Messenger of tho House. Mr. RICE said that he hoped the House would not entertain a motion to reconsider. The act of Bentley deserved immediate demnation. Nothing has been done to injure him, except such action as the dignity of the House demanded. f Mr. O’NEAL, of Lowndes, opposed any re consideration o^the matter. This House and the State have been insulted by Bentley’s SfPs. duct. Mr. HALL’S motion to reconsider wat lost Mr. TURNER offered tho following resolu tion, which was unanimously adopted: Whereas, the Hon. Maleom Claiborn, member of this House, has suddenly departed this life. Therefore Resolved, That a joint committee of three from the House and two from the Senate, bo appointed to make suitable arragements for the funeral of paid deceased, and that this House, asking the concurrence of the Senate therein, do now odloum until 10 a. il, to morrow. Messrs. Turner, Madden, of Burke, and Warren, of Burko, were appointed on the joint committee. Wednesday, July 27, 1870. House met at the usual hour. The Speaker in the chair. Prayer by Rev. Dr. Brantley, The journal of yesterday was read. Mr. O’NEAL, of Lowndes, from tho Spe cial Committee, reported favorably on the bill to amend the charter of Cortersville, with cer tain amendments thereto. The motion to suspend the rules to take np the said bill prevailed, and the bill was read the third time. The amendment of the committee was ap proved, and the bill, together with a local bill by Mr. HARPER, of Terrell, in relation to road law, was passed and ordered to be trans mitted to the Senate. Mr. SAULTER*S resolution, to scat certain members, being tho regular order of unfinish ed business, was taken up. Mr. O’NEAL, of Lowndes, rose to a point of order, and said that the gentleman in ques tion were not elected nnder General Meade’s order, and that they are not entitled to their seats nnder the act of Congress, dated Decem ber 22, 18G9, and that a similar point of order was sustained by 1he Speaker on the 3d of May last. The Speaker again ruled that the point was well taken from which ruling Mr. fBryant ap pealed, saying that Georgia has been admitted in tho Union, that the assertion that Georgia is not in the Union is a mere quibble that if Georgia is not in the Union, wnat right has this Legislature to enact laws? Georgia is a State, and is recognized as such. The great point aimed at is the defeat of an election this fall and these men ore to be kept out in fur therance of thiq object. A message from tlij^ Senate was received saying that Senate had concurred in the House resolution to appoint a Committee to confer with the Mayor and Council of Atlanta on the “Capitol question.” Also that the Senate had concurred m the res olution of respect to the late Hon. R. W. Flour-' noy. Mr. O’NEAL replied to Mr. Bryant, saying that the gentleman from Richmond was not competent to declare the duty of this house he having resigned. Hr. BRYANT said that he withdrew his resignation before he was notified of its accep tance. Mr. O’NEAL continued: Georgia had not been fully reconstructed and that she is not fully in the Union, that Mr. Smith, of Coffee, in favor of whose admission he had voted, was elected under Gen. Meade’s order, while the members from Irwin and Telfair were elected under proclamation of Gov. Bullock in 1868, upon the faith of a joint resolution by a Legis lature virtually declared illegal by Congress, that if he believed these gentlemen were legal ly entitled to their seats he would so vote. On motion the Rev. Dr. Hamilton was in vited to a seat on this floor. Mr. HARPER hoped that the sealing of tho gentlemen from Irwin and Telfair would not bo made a party question, that the joint resolution under which the said gentler men were elected was passed before tho colored members were expelled; that tho election under Meade’s proclamation was not held in the said counties because the managers were providentially hindered from attending the polls; that when Gen. Meade left Georgia all the rights he had in such mat ters fell upon Gov. Bullock. Mr. BRYANT’S appeal from the Speaker’i decision was lost upon the calling of the yeas and nays. The vote stood as follows—those voting to sustain the decision ore: Messrs. Atkins, Allen of Jasper, Allen of Hart, Bell, Bethune, Belcher, Beard, Barnes, Bradford, Carson, Campbell, Clower, Costin, Colby, Cunningham, Darnell, Davis, Ellis, Fitzpatrick, Floyd, Goodwin, Golden, Gard ner, Gilford, Hillyer, Holcombe, Houston, Harden, Haren,.

[Note by the Reporter, during the morning session yesterday a communication from his Excellency tho Governor was received, but was not read and was accidentally omitted in our report] * Thuusday, July 28, 1870. House met at tho usual hour, and was called to order by tho Speaker. Prayer by the Rev. Dr. Brantley. The Clerk read tho journal of yesterday’s proceedings. Mr. RAWLS’ motion to reconsider the ac tion of the House yesterday in sustaining the ruling of the Speaker on the question of seat ing certain members, came up. Tho Speaker ruled that there can be no appeal from an peal, bnt promised that he would sustain motion hereafter, if he finds that the authori ties on such subjects did not sustain folly his present ruling. On motion of Mr. DARNELL, tho Govern ox’i communication was token np and mid. The Governor recommends an appropriation of seven thousand dollars to meet debts owed by the Penitentiary. The communication was referred to the Finance Committee. Mr. BRYANT resumed his remarks on the “ Penitentiary Report” He said that be be lieves that there is a dangerous combination in Georgia known as ihe “Ring,” or Big Firm and that the said Ring is interested in the fanning out of Penitentiary convicts. He ad vocated a repudiation of the contract with Messrs. Grant Alexander A Co., and a return of the convicts to the Penitentiary. Mr. HILLYER said that his speech had no connection with any ring; that nobody had anything to do with it and that he alone is responsible therefor. Mr. RAWLS said that as a member of the committee, he felt it his duty to vindicate the report; that Mr. Bryant’s reasons for ob jecting to the report were selfish. A message from the Senate was received, saying that the Senate had passed the House bill to set apart and secure the school fund. Mr. RAWLS continued that the effect of such reports as are rife in regard to the pun ishment of convicts tend$ to deter crime, even if they were true, but the gentleman had not commented on rebutting testimony; that the committee saw and heard things not in the report; they went among the prisoners and saw for themselves. They found that oat of the convicts, many were found who contradict ed the evidence of .cruelty; that the convicts were generally a rough set, steeped in crime, and must be punished if it is desired to man age them; that if the recommendations of the :aa Via Knliovoc tlmt. tTio Mr. TWEEDY • said that he opposed the fanning out of convicts at the outset, and that there was a legal difficulty in hiring out convicts who aro sentenced to tho Peniten tiary—that any petty magistrate can catch up men and women of all colors and send^hem to Grant, Alexander A Co., upon frivolous pre texts—that in his own city young girls have been sent, off as vagrants, and that they wore principally colored—that this infernal system of petty magistrates should be broken np. That the statement that notes on the Western and Atlantic Railroad hare been hawked over the streets is untrue, and that the aspersions against certain gentlemen who have brought property and intelligence to this Stato aro un- unfounaed—that os an evidence of the un fairness of the aspersions made a few days ago, he would, with the permission of the Chair, read a communication from one of the gentlemen showing that the charge against the Georgia National Bank as to the question of real propety was unfounded, and in ,this con nection he would say that tho other gentle men* whom the gentleman from Richmond had denominated the “Big Firm” were just such men as any State need welcome and ap preciate. The following is a copy of the let- er read by Mr. Tweedy: 1Ton. R Tweedy—Dear Sin: In answer to your enquiry I have the pleasure of stating that the approximate valno of real estate owned by the Stockholders of the Georgia National Bank is‘$l,250,000, of which three quarters are located in this State, and mostly in the city of Atlanta. The approximate value of whole property of Stockholders is upwards of $2,000,000. Yours truly, Jno. Rice. Mr. SIMMS said that ho did not, as a mem ber ol the committee, sign or approve the re port, and that there was meanness or.moncy sehind the speech of the chairman of the com mittee, and that ail the reports of cruelty were substantially verified. A message from the Governor was received, saying that he had approved the bill for the better securing of the School Fund, and the resolution appointing a joint committeo to con fer with tho Mayor and Council of Atlanta. On motion of Mr. TUMLIN, Dr. A. D Hamilton was tendered tho use of this thill to deliver a lecture on tho physical training of woman. Leaves of absence were granted Messrs. Strickland, Harkncss, Rainey and Seal on spe cial business. Also to Messrs. Humber, Allen, of Hart: Carson and Maxwell, on account of sickness. Pending Mr. Simms' speech, the House ad journed until 10 a. if. to-morrow. committeo are carried out, he believes that the system will work well, and that there has been latterly an improvement in the management of convicts. Ho wanted to know what the gentleman from Richmond meant by “white washing”—does he mean the Governor. Every one of the contractors swear that the Gover nor is not interested in any manner. When before in the Jiistory of Georgia has such treatment been necessary for colored men, who are the largest class in the peniten tiary. To the gentleman from Richmond is, in a measure, due the change in the status of the negro. - Tho House resolution, appointing a Joint Committee to confer with the Mayor and Council of Atlanta, was concurred in by tho Senate and returned to the House. Mr. BELCHER opposed the report,, and contrasted the punishments of other systems with that of Grant, Alexander A Co. That the contractors have violated their obligations, and nothing remains but for the State to re pudiate it. Mr. DUNCAN opposed the adoption of tho report, on the ground that the State is paid nothing by the contractors for services that are worth about three hundred thousand dollars per year; but if Grant, Alexander A Co. have complied with the contract, the State cannot rescind, otherwise if they have not, which subject should be investigated. Thomas L. Taylor, Trustee—award from Pulaski. Argued for plaintiff in error by Mr. Anderson, and for defendants in error by A. T. Burke and Judge Clark. The Court adjourned till 12 u., to-morrow, when remaining decisions will bo delivered and the business of this term finished. Special Notices. The Llfc-Snfltiiiiilng Principle.—Til© vital and the mtnfcdar systems are entirely distinct from each other. A man may have the brawn of a Hercules, but if he la deficient in vital energy he will sar as well, or last as long, or be aa healthy and happy while he does last, aa the man of ordinary, or ■lender build, who possesses a larger share of this animating principle. One of the greatest - recom mendations of that pure vegetable invigorant, Hostet- ter'a Stomach Bitters, is that it increases the vital force of the system. No medicine con double the vol ume of a man’s muscle, or thicken and. vulcanize his thews and sinews; but Hoatetter’s Bitters has-an effect much more important. Its use promotes constitu tional vigor. It. reinforces the life-power, of which bone and sinew and muscle aro merely the instru ments, holding tho same relation to it that machinery does to steam. Let tbo slight and apparently fragile take heart; they may have more, stamina, though far leas physical strength, than tho broad shouldered ath- letes they regard with envy. To restore, to sustain, tg increase this stsmtnal principle which, when in fall supply, is the source of health and tho be‘t guar antee of longevity, is a special property of tho famous restorative. It is not only a specific for dyspepsia, biliousness, Intermittent fevers, constipation, Ac., and a preventive of all diseases of a malarious character, bnt tho best of all medicines for strengthening the constitution and awakening the powers of nature from Whatever cause they may have become lethargic. july26-d&wlw .

Dawson B. Lane, guardian, and Early W. Thrasher vs. Abner M. Parteo and wife- equity from Morgan. Judgment reversed on the ground that the Court erred iu charging the jury “that if Thrasher took the mortgage on the land believing it to be 1 Lane's with no notice to the contrary that Thrasher could not subject it to his mortgage if they should find it was bought with trust funds.” being the opinion of this Court that Thrasher.was a bona fide mortgagee of tho land without notice of the trust that he is en titled to be protected in the same manner bona* fide purchaser of tho land would bo to the extent of his interest in the land as such bona fide mortgagee; and that tho judgment tho Court below refusing a new trial os to Lane be affirmed.

Anderson, Administrator vs. SICKNESS, PAIN AND DEATH Legitimately result as penalties for violations of natu ral laws, from which none escape. The faded cheek, the pale and wan features, the dull eye, the clouded-intellect, the deep hearing sigh, the feeble and emaciated frame, tho dejected brow, the tottering att indicate previous transgression of law. Knowing that “procrastination is the thief of _ time,” all intelligent beings apply for some remedy as soon aa circumstances permit; while those who do not act upon the principle that “delays are .dangerous,” losaniore time and pay more money. Thousand of mothers and daughters, in all stations and conditions of life, are suffering, lingering and «H ing from the effects of some dreaded and dreadful ‘Pain Killer.”—The foreign and do mestic demand for Perry Davis & Son’s great medi cine—the Pain Killer—was never before so large as it has been of late; and we think tho time has arrived when the declaration may bo made, without the pos. sibility of refutation, that the city of Providence, in the State of Rhode Island, of the United States of America has furnished the entire habitable globe' with a mcdicino, which, in point of universality of demand, extent of usefulness, complete efficiency for all tho purposes for which it is designed and wide spread, en during popularity, has never beon equaled by any medicine in Europe or America. Tho universality of the demand for the Pain Killer is a novel, interesting, and surprising feature in tbe history of this medicine. Its “fame has gone out* into every quarter of the habitable gtobe. The Pain Killer is now regularly sold in l«rge and steadily in creasing quantities, not only to general agents in every State and Territory of the Union, and every Province of British America, bnt to Buenos Ayres, Brasil, Ura- guay, Peru, Chili and other South American States, to the Sandwich Islands, to-Cuba, and other West India Islands; to England and Continental Europe; to Mo zambique, Madagascar, Zanzibar and other African lauds; to Australia and Calcutta, Rangoon and other places in India. ILhaa also been sent to China, and 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 Killer has not been introduced and been sought after. Tho 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. Ac., hut 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 tho 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 valuable medicine. The proprietors are in possesion of letters from persons of the highest character and responsibility, testifying, in unequivocal terms, to tho cures effected and the satisfactory results produced, in an almost endless variety of cases, by the use of this great medicine.—Providence Advertiser.

Many females suffer in some way at each monthly period; some girls are 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 checked, or changed in appearance, attended with other distress ing symptoms. Leucorrhcca, or tho “Whites,” fre quently drains the system, or ulceration of the womb may create pain and cans© rapid prostration. Falling of the womb is an exceedingly common com plaint, giving much trouble and distress, which, un der ordinary treatment, is difficult to cure. Hysterics, Crecn Sickness, Irritability of the Womb, id other serious and fatal complaints follow the fe male sex throughout life. lives there a medic* 1 Gen tleman who lias or can relieve the fair sex ofj^^b°«£^ trouble* ?

The Bitters at once arouses, strengthens and restores the womb to its natural condition, removing obstructions, relieving pain and regulating the monthly period. Yonder stands a pale, feeble and languid girl, just bunting into womanhood; she is the pride of all, but hark! she silently steals a pickle, cats chalk, or a slate pencil; — appetite for food; she turns with a dull eye and iks solitude; her eye no longer sparkles; her merry laugh is no longer heard ringing through the air; she mopes about with bloodless lips and gums, with head ache. palpitation, constipation, swimming of the head, cold feet and hands, melancholy; she has a coated tongue, offensive breath, and a host of other evils too numerous to mention. When neglected all these symptoms become aggrava- ed, there is sick stomach, heartburn, a dark line set les under the eyes, the legs and ankles are swollen, tho hair loses its gloss and falls off, there is brittleness and splitting of the finger-nails, swollen abdomen, extreme nervousness, frctfulnesa, pains and aches, dry cough.

In all these complaints tli« system evidently shows a want of red blood, and Mr. Churchill, in his work on Diseases of Females, says: “Bearing iu mind that the blood is remarkably defleieut in re<l corpuscles, and the known property of iron to correct this condition, theo ry suggests it as tho most to be relied on, the best of which is Citrate.” Citrate of Iron enters largely into the composition of English Female Bitters, combinnd with powerful vegetable tonics of rare qualities. Among tbe mountains of Tennessee and the piney- woods of Mississippi, is found a certain hard and Uni ty root, which has been in secret use by some old mid wives for many years, possessing magic powers iu reg ulating and restoring all females suffering with any af fection of the womb This root wo have obtained, gavo it a fair test in our practice and it is now one of the principal ingredients in these Bitters.
