cians' claims against the State for attendance
on small-pox coses, ho moved be recommitted.
Mr. BRADLEY thought it unconstitutional
to make any appropriation for services ren
dered in 1863.
Mr. SPEER took the same ground, and in
troduced another resolution that ail ’
should bo paid up to date.
Mr. HARRIS said this was a caso of doubt,
he was not the committee, but merely its rep-
ieNotittn, tt9
guarded tho resolution to the best of their
ability, and they would bo adjudicated on and
scaled before navmcnt.
Mr. mNTON&TOred recommittal. If the
resolution passed in its present shape it would
open the door to disputes botwoen the Gover
nor, Comptroller and Treasurer.
Mr. WELLBORN argued for recommittal.
Mr. HOLCOMBE stud that supposing the
claims were just, then the appropriation should
have originated in the other house. Ho moved

Mr. GRIFFIN 21st roared the previous quea-
Mr. HINTON hoped it would not be sm
tained as bo bad important evidence to Offer.
Mr. GRIFFIN withdrew his motion.
Mr. HINTON then proceeded to deHvor a
lengthy argument to show why tho question
should not do postponed. He read opinions
of Chief Justice Brown and Mr. J nation Ho-
Coy aa to the legality of tho claims.
Mr. HUNGERFORD handed the two physi-
dana' bills to the Clerk and they were read,
after which he called the previous question,
which was ordered, and the yeas and nays de
manded, and were yeas 24, nays 10.
So the whole subject was indefinitely post
poned.
Mr. HINTON gave notice of reconsideration.
A bill to allow tho Mayor and Council of
Marietta to levy a tax for the benefit of the Fe
male College of Marietta, was read a third
Mr. BRADLEY said If tho city was taxed,
it should admit all, and moke no exception os
to color. If oolored persons were taxed to
support the school they should be allowed the
advantages of the school, at a clause should
bo introduced exempting them from taxation
for the pnrpaee.
Mr. DUNNING said the colored people had
heM a meeting and had passed resolutions in
favor of the bill.
A message was received from the Honse
through Mr. Newton their Clerk announcing
the pamngo of several bills and asking tho con-
enrrenco of tho Senate.
Mr. DUNNING eonUnned and signed for
stepping all the class of feelings existing such
os had been spoken of by Mr. Bradley. It
may be technically right but the principle won
wrong.
Mr. CAMPBELL said as be hod been in
structed that it was popular with his people
in Marietta he would support the bill He
was not in favor of itbntas they desired it
he would support it.
The previous question was demanded and
the bill passed without a dissenting voice and
was transmitted forthwith.
A bill introduced by Mr. Speer to regu
late the rote of interest In the Stato was then
token up providing that interest should not
be paid or receive ovor 7 per cent. except
where there was a written contract otherwise.
The Finance Committee reported favorably.
Mr. WELLBORN moved to disagree with
the report.
A messago was received from the House
through Mr. Newton, their clerk, announcing
the passage of several Senate bills.
Mr. WELLBORN mado a lengthy argument
against the biB. Ho thought that it would para
lyse trade, as everyone who bad money would
loan it instead of building fir entering into
manufactories and go to money lending.
Mr, SPEER urged the passage of hw reso
lution, and oaUed the previous question.
Mr. HARRIS argued against the previous
question, and offered on amendment to the
effect that no interest above 10 per cent shall
be paid under any circumstances.
Messrs. BRADLEY, SHERMAN and HOL-
A message was received from his Excellency
tho Gotemor, anrounrng that he bad sign d
the act amending tho charter of the Dolton
and Morgan ton Railroad.
Tho motion to reconsider was laid on the
tabic.
A messago was received from tho House,
through Mr. Newton, their clerk, announcing
the passage of several bills and asking concur
rence.
The reconsideration rf the bill of Mr. Speer
on interest was then taken up,
Mr. FAIN taking the floor. It was with
money as with products, as the amount in
creased the market price would decrease. The
men who made most money paid more than
coven per cent for money. The passage of
the bill would have a tendency to reduce in
terest. The restrictions now of tho laws would
keep capital ontof Georgia.
Mr. HOLCOMBE opposed reconsideration,
capitalists would go where there was most
canty, not where the highest interest could
bo obtained. The course pursued of repu
diating debts here wonld have more effect of
driving away capitalists, than this bill wonld
do to bring them hero. It wonld have the
tendency of making men nsners rather than
speculators. They wonld loon money on in
terest and gouge their neighbor rather than go
into legitimate business. It would suit the
cotton speculator tat not the body of the peo
ple, the planter and agriculturist. It wonld
make the rich man richer and tho poor man
poorer. Ho moved to lay the motion to re
consider on the table.
The motion did rot prevail.
Mr. NUNN ALLY supported reconsideration.
The money of tho State went to the banks,
men loaned it to them at 14 per cent per month
and they got 2} per month from tho fanner
and took hens and mortgages upon his little
crops. It wss tho interest of the banks that
this bill should pan. It wonld keep the cap
ital in these bonks.
Mr. SPEER moved the previous question,
which was ordered.
The main question was ordered by 23 to 9.
Mr. SHERMAN offered an amendment to
restrict tho interest to 18 per cent per annum.
A messago was received from the House
through Mr. Newton, their clerk, announcing
the passage of the Grand Trunk Railroad bill,
Mr. SHERMAN spoke of the effect of an
unlimited percentage in Illinois. Ho thought
12 per cent, would be the avenge that would
be demanded. He represented two classes of
persons, some wealthy men in the northeast,
who wanted to loan mousy, and his constitu
ents who wanted to borrow. He wonld make
compromise on 14 cents per month.
Mr. HARRIS thought the bill would bring
tho greatest enrse that coaid be brought to
Georgia. By the bill a man, a landlord, oonld
squeeze out of a poor tenant 100 per cent or
G00 per eent and the law wonld justify it
Bankers would not loan to poor farmers. They
would be mode slaves worse than it was be
fore tho war; they would be slaves to the cap
italist and the money lender.
Mr. MERRILL supported the bill. He sold,
now tradesmen charged GO per cent and more
for goods sold on credit He reviewed tho
usury laws from the first A man who plead
usury was always looked upon with disfavor
foe not complying with his contract He
oaUed the previous question.
Mr. BRADLEY opposed the previous ques
tion.
Mr. TBAYWICK also opposed it; be want
ed the first section stricken out and everybody
placed ou the ism. footing.
Mr. HINTON opposed the previous ques
tion.
Tho main question was ordered.

prove largely advantageous to the State, and

Authority having been granted by a previous
L< gi..latiir,-, for the construction of a road
running almost parallel to tho road between
Borne and Dalton, and that road having been
completed, the section of the State's rood be
tween Dalton and Kingston will bo entirely
deprived of tho sonthwestern traffic and travel,
unless wo eon protect it by controlling tho
read between Kingston and Rome. It i» also
necessary that the State should be in a posi
tion to control the extension of the road west
of Rome, so that it may bo mads to reach the
valuable deposits of iron, coal, etc., and, at
the same time prevent its being extended to a
connection with the Memphis and Chari enton
Road in Alabama, until it ahull be for tho best
interest of the State to bring freight in that
direction instead of over their present line via
Chattanooga.
I respectfully invite the attention of your
honorable body to this subject, feeling as-
sored that yonr wisdom will point ont the
proper ooarse to be pursued.

pointed hour Ji»d arrived for taking up the
charges of bribery against Messrs. Atkins and
Stone.
Mr. DARNELL moved to postpone tho con
sideration of the question until after the con
clusion of the action on raitroad bills, which
motion prevailed.
Mr. O’NEAL, of Baldwin, offered a resolu
tion expelling Mr. Stone.
Mr. JOHNSON, of Spalding, offered a reso
lation dismissing the charges against Messrs.
Stone and Atkins respectively.
Mr. BRYANT continued, and remarked
that he believed all the members voted con
scientiously, but that those who were against
the measure known as prolongation, thought
that Stone having voted against the measure,
ought to have a testimonial of respect, and
they give him a watch os such, and that noth
ing was said about this watch until after tho
vote in question.
Mr. TURNER said that he was one of those
who favored prolongation, bat that he did not
censure Mr. Stone; that he is sorry to say
that tho Republican party does not stick togeth
er as it should; sometimes white Republicans ge
astray and why shonld a colored man be
more censored.
Mr. Stone had said to him that his people
wanted him to vote against this measure, for
some of them wanted him to go borne and giro
them a chance, and that ho was conscientious
in his vote.
Mr. TURNER called the previous question
on the adoption of Mr. Johnson's resolation
to dismian the charges of bribery against Mr.
Stone.
On the motion to adopt the resolation the
yeas and nays were demanded with the follow
ing result—yeas 100, nays 10.
Mr. Atkins’ cose was token up.
Mr. TURNER moved to rule out the evi
dence in relation to money paid Mr. Atkins to
secure his vote for Joseph E. Brown for U. S.
Senator.
Mr. LEE said that he believed Mr. Turner’s
point well taken, os this Committee was ap
pointed to investigate the cose so far os pro-
longation was concerned.
Mr. O’NEAL, of Lownds, remarked that the
reorganization of this House does not preclude
this House from investigating the conduct of
a member before said reorganization—that the
resolation under which this committee was
appointed, gives power to this committee to
go back and investigate all tho acts of these
two members, as for back as 1868. Neither
Congress, the Governor nor the Courts, have
decided that this Legislature was not a de facto
Legislature, competent to enact laws, and the
reorganization will not protect Mr. Atkins
from the penalty of bribery—Atkins himself
says that he was & member of tbi. Legislature
in 1868, and can be now shield himself from
acta done by him while ho was such, and that
the Speaker of this Honse does not stand os a
Judge over a criminal case because this man
is not upon a criminal charge, and these tech
nical objections do not properly come up in
this issue, but the whole matter should go
before tho House.
Mr. BETHUNE argued that the election at
which Mr. Atkins vote was said to have been
bought was illegal, and consequently tho vote
was a nullity.
Mr. SIMMS said that there is a particular fea
ture in this case, to-wit: That this is the first
time in 240 years that a negro bought a white
man, for in this case a negro was the person
who paid the 300 dollars for the white man’s
vote.
The SPEAKER ruled that it is competent
for this Honse to act on the case of Mr. At
kins including his conduct in the election for
Senator to the United States Congress in 1868.
Mr. FITZPATRICK Offered a resolution ex
pelling Mr. Atkins without back pay or mile
age.
Mr. BELCHER moved to striko the words
“back pay or mileage.’’
Mr. TURNER moved to allow Mr. Atkins
until 11 jl x. to-morrow to prepare bis de
fense, which motion prevailed.
Several of tho standing committees submit
ted reports.
TncnsDAY, September 1,1870.
House met pursuant to adjournment.
Prayer by Rev. Dr. Brantley.
Journal of yesterday was read.
On motion of Mr. SHUMATE tho rales
were supendod and the Senate bill to legalize
tho revision of jury boxes in certain cases,
wss read the second time.
On motion of Mr. LEE, the Governor's
communication, received on yesterday, was
taken np and read, in which his Excellency
informed the General Assembly that there is
lib inciiloy in the trsastify of the uiiioliht
placed there under the resolution to set apart
and secure the School Ftind, tho same having
been oxpended in payment of lawful do-
A communication from tho Governor, in re
lation to tho Home and Foreign Commission
ers of Immigration, was also read; also a
communication in relation to an appropriation
ior the Georgia Stato Agricultural Society, in
which his Excellency recommends the payment
of tho amount dne the Society under an
act passod in tho year 18G0, Ac. He also re
commends that the act bo amended so as to
allow on annual appropriation for the samo of
ten thousand dollars.
The special order of tho day, to wit:
A resolution in relation to back pay of mem
bers seated in place of those declared in
eligible, was taken up.
Mr. BETHUNE advocated the resolation,
and remarked that these members ore legally
entitled to their pay; they were ready to take
their scats in 1868, but were kept out by a
misconstruction of the law.
Mr. SHUMATE moved to refer the resolu
tion to the Finance Committee, which motion
was withdrawn.
Mr. TWEEDY favored the passage of the
resolation, and said that all precedent re
quires that these members bo paid.
Mr. PORTER said that this is not a party
question, and that Democrats os well as Re
publicans are interested in this question; that
he colored members had been paid, and he
wants the others paid, who are equally en
titled to their money.
Mr. TURNER said that these members arc
entitled to their pay because they were kept
ont by no fault of their own, and if other men
got pay illegally, they should be made to dis
gorge it
Mr. HARPER of Terrell offered the resolu
tion, and said that Congress had never
given back pay beyond a session; that the
members who were elected were turned out
by tho military, and these members were
seated unexpectedly, called up here and con
scripted into the Legislature. These coses are
not similar to tho cases of the colored mem
bers elected and put back by authority of
Congress.
Mr. ARMSTRONG said he is one of those
interested, and that he was hero in 1868,
knockingat the door of this House with a just
and good claim to his seat, and that as a legal
proposition, there is no difference between the
cases of these members and the colored
members, for it was declared in the act of
Congress that no persons ineligible should
hold seats in the Provisional Legislature, and
said eligibility was determined by the 14th
amendment to the Constitution of the United
States. All that the members interested ask
for is that the House follow precedent and
S ' ve them justice. He argued that votes cast
r ineligible persons were nullities, and those
candidates who opposed them were legaiy
elected and entitled to ah the rights, Ac., of
members, Ac.
Mr. O'NEAL, of Lowndes, remarked that
the House has decided that the members in
question were entitled to their seats; that
those who received the highest number of votes
were ineligible, and the votes cast for them
were mere blanks, consequently their oppo
nents received the highest number of legal
votes; that Congress has recognized this as the
first and only legal Legislature, and that body
had reference to tho adoption of the 14th and
15th amendments in that decision; and these
members were seated upon the idea that they
were entitled so their geests on the 4th of July,
1870, and it follows, as a matter of coarse, if
they were entitled to their scats they were en
titled to their pay. On the same principle the
colored members were paid, and this resola
tion is a mere formality.
Mr. FITZPATRICK called the previous
question, which call was sostainod.
Mr. SCOTT raised tho point of order that
members who prefer claims against the State
are not entitled to vote.
The SPEAKER ruled that the point was not
well taken.
_On the motion to adopt, the yeas and nays
were demanded with tho following result:
Yeas 53, nays 52. So the resolation was
adopted.
The ease of Mr. Atkina was resumed.
Mr. HARPER of Terrell said that this is a
grave question, and should be carefully con
sidered before a fellow man is consigned to in
famy. This ease has come np as the present
ment of a grand jury, and if there is any
donbt about guilt, let Mr. Atkins have the ben
efit of that donbt. That ho believes no
jnry in the State would convict, and that the
witnesses to the payment of the three hundred
dollars are as gnitty as the receiver. Mr.
Harper argued that all the evidcnco against
Atkins is hearsay, except that given by Echols,
and he claims to have paid three hundred dol
lars, and that he got it from some unknown
person. And again, this Committee would
never have been appointed if Atkins had not
voted against prolongation, for tho action
which is attempted to be proved is barred b;
the statute of limitations.
A letter from Judge Joseph E. Brown sayinf;
that he nor his friends, by his consent, hat
given any money to any persons to influence
their votes and he challenges tho fullest inves
tigation—that Echcls is an unknown negro
l»y, and his story is in nil probability, with
out the slightest foundation.
Mr. FITZPATRICK said that in tho
opinion of tho Special Committeo Mr. Atkins
was not cntitlod to a seat on this floor ho
having been bribed to vote for Joe Brown in
1868, and'that he understands that Echols,
whom Jndge Brown terms a boy, that he was
called np in a room in this building where he
saw the Attorney General and some others
who tried to persuade him that he swore to a
lie before the Committee. Mr. Fitzp&triok
rave a detailed accoant of tho evidence tokon
ly tho Committee.
Mr. BETHUNE raised tho point of order
that Mr. Fitzpatrick should not be allowed to
detail, evidence not contained in the written
evidence handed by that Committee to the
Honse.
Tho SPEAKER ruled that tho point was
not well taken, from which tuling Mr
BETHUNE appealed.
The appeal was pnt before the Honse and
tbe Speaker's ruling was sustained.
Mr. BARNUM rose to a point of order
that* certain Senator and other parties were
on the floor of this Honse interfering with the
Mr. FITZPATRICK agreed and said that
the point was well taken, and that the son of
tho Treasurer had suggested to a member
that he shonld appeal from the Speaker’s
ruling.
Mr. SIMMS said that he only rose to advo
cate the negro question.
Mr. O’NEAL of Lowndes made the point of
order that the question of color was not before
the Honse; which point was ruled os well ta
ken.
Mr. SIMMS continued that the communica
tion read before this Honse styling Echols a
grown man “n negro hoy,” was an insnlt to
the dignity of the House, and was intended as
an insult to every colored man on this floor.
Mr. RUMPH stud that he was one of the
Committee and tried to do hiswholo dnty, and
that it would ho a disgrace to this House and
tho State if this matter is dodged.
Mr. RUMPH called tho previous question
on the adoption of the resolation to expeL
Tho yeas and nays were demanded.
Before tho vote was announced Mr. O’NEAL
of Lowndes asked that every member be re
quired to vote.
The SPEAKER ruled that the point should
have been raised as each name was called,
from which rating Mr. O’NEAL appealed, and
the Speaker was over-ruled, and all members
were required to vote. The result was, yeas,
65; nays, 45. So tho resolution, which re
quired a two-thirds vote, did not prevail.
Mr. DAVIS offered tho following as his ex
cuse for not voting, which the Houso declined
to accept:
Mr. Speaker: I Lave no former prejudice
against tne whiteman or the black. I have
none at present, and desire none in the future.
I am not willing to cover np black deeds of
any one, white or black. I believe Mr. Stono
as guilty as Mr. Atkins, which the evidence
shows indirectly. I am willing to retain
neither, as they aro paid their nina dollars per
day for voting, ana have no right to receive
any other and reflect upon the dignity of tho
Houso by so doing. As Stone has not been
expelled I ask to bo excused from voting in
the Atkins case.”
Mr. LANE, from a special committee, re
ported tho following bill, to wit:
A bill to extend the lien of set-off and re
coupment os against debts contracted prior to
the first day of June, 1865, and to deny to
such debts the aid of the courts until the taxes
thereon have been paid.

West Point, August 28, 1870.
Scarcely had terminated a veiy delightful
though rather impromptu hop given last eve
ning at the West Point Hot 21, and with it tho
animation of music and many trembling feet
and rustling silks, whe a the post military bo*id
mado its appeaiance at the hotel and serenaded
the President in the deep hush of night—for it
was after midnight when the band commenced
playing, with the music melting and mingling
its murmuring sounds with the echoes from the
'Bypassing mountains. Nothing in the
way ofmusio can be imagined having a more
soul-stirring and soul-enlivening effect—noth
ing— accept by those who have been hero and
heard a midnight sorer ado by tho post bond-
imagined coming so near tho poet's concep
tion of tho exquisite music of a dream. Tho
baud played some half hour. If stars are the
poetry and mystery of heaven there is a poetry
farther reaching and a deeper mystery in
music such as this was. We will not under
take to describe it. The President, though
roused from slumber, was delighted by it, and
so wns everybody else who heard it, and there
wero very few who did cot
REVEILLE AND SUNDAY INSPECTION.
While Sunday is generally the quietest day
of the week elsewhere, it is altogether the
liveliest here. This is particularly so while
the cadets are in camp. As the cadets have to
get up at sunrise, a cannon is fired at this
time, awakening every body else, whether they
want to get up or not; and then, to bo sure
and keep everybody else awake, there follows
an incessent beating of drums; all of which is,
of course, intensely military, but intensely
disgusting to one who does not care to enlarge
his stock of lore on the subject of the rising
sun, but bos a preference to cultivate tired na
ture's sweet restorer to a considerable later
hour. The Sunday morning inspections at
nino o’clock, are on interesting feature. Gen
eral Upton, Commandant of the Cadet Corps
he of Upton tactics memory, so greatly
adored by .tho cadets, and so indiscriba-
bly useful Sc to those having military
on tho brain—conducted tho inspection this
morning. As a sort of compromise, no doubt,
with the sacredness of the day, the bond play
ed some sacred music, but the transitions to
galops and waltzes were both frequent and
marked. The guard mounting was specially
fine; but, in fact, the cadets do not do any
thing in tho military way that is not specially
fine—a point, it is wholly unnecessary, as the
thing has been done so many times, to under
take to prove by any detailed description of
this morning's military exercises. A large
crowd was in attendance as spectators, includ
ing many ladies, mostly young, whose anxiety
on the subject of our future national defenders
has its basis, perhaps, in patriotism, and per
haps not Among the spectators, by the way,
was the author of the “Wickedest Man in New
York,” who at the close, sought to “interview'

The fact is this colored cadet is just now '

ing a white cadet politeness, he undertook to
do so through the medium of a tin dipper,
brought down with considerable force on the

Remote, friendless, melancholy, slow.
And this last adjective of the poet seems
quite appropriate to his case. There is cer
tainly nothing promising in his appearance
nothing indicating any Promethian spark lia
ble at any time to ignite any river.
THE PRESIDENT VISITS JUDGE PIERREPONT.
During the middle hours of the day, while
nearly all the people here, including the
cadets, were at Church, tho President crossed
the river and visited Judge Pierrepont at his
summer residence, near Garrison’s Landing.
Ho remained there several hours, dining there
and returning here shortly before dark and
just in time again to miss the evening dress
parade, much to the disappointment,
second time, of the cadets.
ARMY OFFICERS HERE.
The hotels are unusually swarmed with army
officers, some of whom have been spending
several weeks hero, this being their favorite
place of summer sojourn, and others having
come on to participate in the gay festivities of
the forthcoming hop. Among the more con
spicuous of these are General Van Vliot, tho
well known quartermaster of the army, and os
widely popular os he is widely known; General
Gilmore, General Kiddoo, General Baldy
Smith and General Alexander; Colonel Black,
lately commandant of tho Cadet corps—and
better liked or inoro efficient officer never
filled this position—is also here, as likewise,
Captain Camp, connected with the army re
cruiting bureau in Now York. Not to be
omitted among tho late arrivals is
SENATOR AMES,
who' with his bride, is stopping at the West
Point Hotel As is well known the Senator *
. graduate of tho Military Adademy, and, like
the most of old graduates, finds pleasure
iu coming back hero and reviving the delight
ful memories of his cadet days. All the
rangements are now nearly completed for
the hop
to-morrow evening. The second class, which
has been absent on furlough since the close of
the last June examination, are to arrive to
morrow, so as to be on hand in time to partic
ipate in tho evening's festivities. A good
many others are also expected, and it is well
enongh to state that there is to be dancing all
night; for it would be utterly impossible to
find room for any more at the hotels, as they
are now crowded to suffocation. The floor
managers are Cadet Fred Grant, son of the
President, and Cadets Wasson and Stewart.
The selections for this position are made by
the Cadet corps, and being exclusively a test
of personal popularity, aro esteemed a very
high honor. The dancing will be in the
room and the room in which the ordinary hops
take place, tho two rooms being used for con
venience of the division of dances. Every
thing gives assurance that it will be a most
magnificent affair; and one thing is very cer
tain, that although it is Sunday, and notwith
standing the presence of President Grant, it
has been tho great topic of talk everywhere
to-day.

PATENTED JANUARY O, 16CO.
rfUIE improvement consists of a blast of air thrown
JL on the external surface of the Bolt by a fen placed
at the head of the Chest. The air is conveyed into
the Chest by a tin tube along and parallel with the
reel, and issued through a slot in tho sido of the tube
on to the doth, with sufficient force and in such quan
tity aa to keep the meakta open and abtorbe the steam
generated in grinding, consequently the doth and the
internal surface of the Chest never mvesfr and tbe
flour is always dry and cool ready for packing.
It largely increases tho Belting capacity of the Bolt,
frees it from bug* and morms, and gives an increased
and uniform yield of flour to the bushel of wheat
The cost of applying the improvement is but small,
requires bat little power which ic obtained from some
convenient shaft running the bolt or elevators.

In all these complaints the systein evidently shows a
want of red blood, and Mr. Churchill, in liis 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 tho most to be relied on, the best of
which is Citrate." Citrate of Iron enters largely into
woods of Mississippi, is found a certain hard a
ty root, which has been in secret use by some old mid
wives for many years, possessing magic powers in reg
ulating and restoring all females suffering with any af
fection of the womb This root we have obtained,
gavo it a fair test in our practico and it is now ono of
tho principal ingredients in these Bitten. Other pow
erful uterine and general tonics also enter into its com
position. We also add Leptandra or Black root, suffi
cient to act upon the liver and keep the bowels open.
