Mr. Hinton made a speech of an hour, having his time extended. He was eloquent and used temperate language. Mr. BRADLEY followed. He caused toTxs read from the desk a portion of a law passed by Congress to protect citizens in their rights to vote at elections. The State Government be ing only provisional, the laws of Congress were paramount and the Shennon.bill the only law prescribing qualifications of voters. The only legal registration was the one taken nnder the military officer. It was very advisable to have the election at Christmas time when every one was free, not just in the time of cotton picking when difficulties might arise between the employees and employed. Mr. CAMPBELL answered that portion of Mr. Hinton’s argument referring to the duties prescribed by the bill to be performed by managers, and the formation of linos at polling plaoes. He said the same thing had been practiced in New York yearn ago. He argued for the justness and equity of the bilL No precincts were altered by the MIL By the Con stitution precincts could be established b;r managers, and that was all the bill provide: I for. Not one unconstitutional provision had been shown in the MIL The colored man did not ask for sympathy, only justice.

HARRISON of Hancock moved to re consider so much of yesterday's proceedings as relate to the indefinite postponement of a bUl to amend the Act granting State aid to the Macon and Brunswick Railroad Company. Mr. BRYANT opposed the motion on the ground that additional aid to tho said road is not necessary, and that it would injure the en dorsement given to other roads, Ac. Mr. TURNER of Bibb favored tbe biU, re marking that fifteen thousand dollars per mile had been granted to a great many roads and that this only received ten thousand dollars at time when it was only worth about as much i sis thousand is now; that the road opens up country which has been greatly increased in value and leads to a port which will eclipse every other in this State; that the road, though running, is not in good order, and money *- needed to make it a safe route, Ac. Mr. FITZPATRICK favored the motion to reconsider. He remarked that there is no pos sibility of the State's losing one dollar. Mr. Fitzpatrick called the previous question, which call was sustained. On the main question the yeas and nays were demanded with the following result: Yeas C8; Nays 43. The biU to incorporate the McDonough and Western Railroad Company, and to grant State aid to the same, was read a third time and passed. On motion of Mr. HALL of Glynn Major Richard Orme was invited to a seat on this floor. On motion of Mr. BARNUM the some cour tesy was extended to CoL Benjamin May. On motion of Mr. MOORE Wm. Dawson, Esq., was invited to a seat Several of the standing committees submit ted reports. The bill to incorporate tho Atlanta and Savannah Air-Line Railroad Company, and to grant tho aid of the State to the same, was read a third time. Mr. BRYANT moved to indefinitely post pone the bill. Mr. ANDERSON favored tbe motion re marking that yesterday this House chartered a road running over exactly the same section of country. Mr. DUNCAN said that the road which was chartered jesterdav was gotten up for the pur pose of defeating this road. Mr. LEE said that the road from Covington to Milieu was nearly an air-line between At lanta and Savannah, and that most of the pro- >osed routes would be no farther distant apart ban 5 miles. He favored the motion to post pone, and called the previous question which was sustained. The main question was put and the motion to indefinitely postpone prevailed. The bUl to loan tho credit of the State to the Trion Railroad Company was read a third time. Mr. BRYANT moved to indefinitely post- the bill. Mr. WfUMATE favored tbe motion on tbe ground that •tlicr roads run through the same section. Mr. CLEGHORN opposed the motion re marking that he desired this bill to go to tbe Governor and stand an equal chance with Mr. OSGOOD called the previous question. Tho main question was put, and the moiw* to indefinitely postpone prevailed. The bill to incorporate the Georgia'Sea board and North-western Railroad Company and to grant State aid to the same, was read the 3d time. Mr. WILLIAMS, of Morgan, moved to in definitely postpone on account of other roads running parallel with it. Mr. O'NEAL, of Lowndes, remarked that thif was the first railroad bill that he had ever introduced into the House; that he was in no way interested in it, and although his name was included in it as one of the corporators, ho was willing for it to be erased from the bill if any one desired it; he said that those who say that the road runs parallel with other roads have only to look on the map and they will find out that they are mistaken. The road starts from Lawton, a station on the Golf Rail road, the place where a Florida road comes in, and that it runs direct for Barnesville, on the Macon and Western Railroad; that the object of its friends was to give the people of Flori da and of Georgia, along the line of the pro posed route direct communication with At lanta. The corporators reside in the comities through which the road will pass, and no oth er roads ran near the proposed route. Mr. BETHUNE opposed the bill, and re marked that he objects to seeing these bills granting State aid to railroads piled up by the cart load and forced on the Governor; that so much StAteaidis raining the State and dis gusting tbe people. He renewed the motion to indefinitely postpone. This motion was put before tbe House, and on a call for the yeas and nays, the vote stood yeas 29, nays 79.

Mr. SCOTT opposed the passage of the bill in his usual forcible manner, and called the previous question on the adoption of Mr. Bry ant’s amendment. On motion of Mr. NESBIT of Dade Mr. Bryant’s amendment was laid on the table. The main question on the passage of the bill was put. The yeas and nays were called for with the following result—yeas 65, nays 42. On motion of Mr. HALL, of Meriwether, the general appropriation act and the bill amend the act to authorize the Governor borrow money to pay members of the General Assembly, etc., were read a second time. The General Appropriation Act was made the special order for Friday, and 200 copies were ordered to be printed. % The bill to amend the act to authorize the Governor to borrow money to pay the mem bers of the General Assembly was read a third time. Mr. HALL, of Meriwether, said that this bill is only intended to remedy defects in the original bill and to include the payment of the ■ftWriim of Judges, etc. Mr. ANDERSON argued that the bill is un necessary, because the bill known as the “bond bill” raises the money, and it is only naoesaary that officers get warrants and they will get their money. The motion for the passage of the bill was put andpre vailed. Mr. HARPER, _ of Terrell, offered a joint resolution instructing the Treasurer to pay to each member of the General Assembly one hundred dollars. This resolution was adopted. A message from the Governor was received, saying that his Excellency had approved and signed the following acts, to-wit: An act to incorporate the Central Georgia Agricultural and Manufacturing Company.

ARMSTRONG and SCOTT advo cated this motion on the ground that the citi zens of Macon object to the bill, and shonld be beard on so important a measure. The motion of Mr. Scott did not prevail. Mr. FITZPATRICK said that nine oat of every ten men in Macon desired this bill, that they had had no election since 1865, and that he did not see how men who oppose prolon gation in one form, can uphold it in another. Mr. O'NEAL of Lowndes called the previ ous question on the passage of the bill—which call was sustained. The yeas and nays were demanded with the following result: Yeas 58; Nays 4L On motion of Mr. SISSON, the Senate bill to authorize the Mayor and Council of tho city of Atlanta to provide for the introdnetion of water works into said city, wss read the third carefully prepared, and* would affect none but iij. poyen of Atiauto, who are very desi- rons for its passage.

Wednesday, September 21. The House was colled to order ot the ap pointed honr by Speaker McWHORTER. Prayer by Rev. Mr. Crumley. Journal of yesterday was read. Mr. O'NEAL, of Lowndes, moved to recon sider so much of yesterday’s proceedings as relate to the indefinite postponement of the bill to incorporate the Atlanta and Savannah Air-Line Railroad Company. He remarked that everybody is aware that this proposed road will conflict with the Macon and Western Railroad, which is the slowest road, with the meanest cars, in the State; and that compe tition is necessary to bring that road to ftunirii sleeping cars, make quick time, etc., and this notwithstanding the Senator from the Twenty- second was on the floor of the House of Rep resentatives felling him that the road is in fine condition, etc. And again, there is the veri table old Central Railroad that this Air-lane route will compete with—indeed the road from Covington to Tennellc, on the Central road, ‘ used for the purpose of defeating the meas- ai SIr. SHUMATE opposed the motion to re consider, and yielded the floor to Mr. Lee, who said that the question is whether this House, having granted State aid to one road, will incorporate another running not more than five mil— from it, and to grant aid to it also; and that the object of the friends of the Atlanta and Savannah Air-Line Railroad is to defeat the one proposed to be run from Cov ington toward Savannah. Mr. HOLCOMBE remarked that he did not agree with Mr. O’Neal, and if the road from Covington to Tennellc, on the Central Rail road, was getting up to defeat the other it was more than he knew or believed. Mr. Hol combe called the previous question, which call was sustained, and the motion to reconsider was lost ,, . Mr. SHUMATE moved to reconsider the in definite postponement of a bill to loan the credit of the State to tho Trion Factory Railroad. He remarked that he had unintentionally mis represented the position of other roads. Mr. DARNELL hoped that the motion would prevail, for this road' will benefit his section, which hitherto been neglected. Mr. DARNELL called the previous ques tion, and the motion to reconsider prevailed. Mr. SCOTT moved to reconsider the passage of a bill to amend the charter of Macon and divide the city into wards, etc. Mr. SCOTT remarked that Macon is one ot the most intelligent communities in the State, and her citizens are almost unanimously^ op posed to this measure; that he has a petition signed by over fifteen hundred out of about eighteen hundred voters asking that this meas ure shall be reconsidered. Mr. FITZPATRICK remarked that tele grams had been received from Macon, saying that a public meeting was held there last night favoring this bill—that he did not believe the men whose names were on tbe petition nllaTjJ to by Mr. Scott were opposed to it—and that the said petition was gotten np in opposition to •- hilt to extend the limits of Macon, Ac.— that he was not surprised that the Mayor and Council ot Macon opposed the bill, for they had been holding fat offices for four years, and doubtless wanted to prolong their term—but that all men there nearly, regardless of color or politics, favor an election, and he was sur prised that the gentleman from Tloyd would oppose giving the people & chance to bold an election. He called the previous question. On the motion to reconsider, the yeas ana,! nays were called, with the following result: Yeas 45, nays 60. The bill to loan the credit of the State to the Trion Factory Railroad Company, was passed.

And all money so collected shall be paid into the Treasury of the State, for educational pur- rithin twenty miles of this company. Mr. SCOTT said that there is no man on this floor more in favor of developing resources than he, bat that granting exclusive privileges to a few persons sometimes works public harm. These corporators probably know where the rock is, and now it is proposed to allow them privileges which are not to be interfered with.. Mr. Scott called the prevbus question on the passage of the bill os ametded, which call was not sustained.

On the main question fie yeas and nays were called for, with the following result: yeas 63, nays 50. On motion of Mr. O’NEIL of Lowndes the bill to extend the lien of let-off and recoup ment os against debts contracted prior to June 1, 1865, ete., was taken tp and read a third time. As . .... mittiw was also read. Mr. BETHUNE said tlis was an important subject; that it had been referred to a special committee of the best men in both branches of the General Assembly; that that committee had consulted with the ablest men in the State, and, after that consultation, had reported the original bill, which would pass the Senate; that the substitute was nothing more than the old relief bill of 1868; that the original bill had been referred to the Judiciary Committee, who had not examined it, and did not have it before them; but the enemies of relief had got up this substitute, pretending to be relief men, of 1868, and this act merely proposes to mend those holes. It proposes to carry into effect the act of 1868 as wo intended it then. And this is eminently just, as it gives to all parties the same sort of relief, There were thousands of cases determined and finally settled nnder the act of 1868. and it to but evenhanded justice that those pending in court shall be settled by tho same law. This bill to not such relief as I would prefer. Tho relief which I prefer was stricken from the Constitution by Congress and I have introduced bills to the some effect, but I perceive that a majority of this House will not go os far as mj*self on re lief, hence I accept this bill as a compromise. I believe the people will be content with this act if administered os we intend it. Mr. PORTER of Chatham moved to lay the bill on the table, and have two hundred cop ies printed—remarking that he was not exact ly prepared to act on the question. This mo tion prevailed. On motion of Mr. NASH, CoL J. N. Glenn was invited to a seat on this floor. On motion, Mayor Obear, Hon. Elijah Bond and Hon. H. Glover were invited to seats on this floor. Leaves of absencu were granted to Messrs. Nisbet of Dade, Beard, Smith of Muscogee, Costin, Hall of Glynn, and Stone. On motion, the House adjourned until 9 a. m. to-morrow. Thursday, September 2*2, 1870. House met at the usual hour. Speaker McWhorter in the chair. Prayer by the Rev. Mr. Crumley. Journal of yesterday was read. Mr. DUNCAN moved to correct ihe journal in so far as it shows that the motion to recon sider the indefinite postponement of the bill to incorporate tho Savannah and Atlanta Air- Line Railroad Company did not prevail. The SPEAKER said that the clerk to ii doubt as to the correctness of tho count. Mr. LEE said that he thought the clerk’i count was correct Mr. O’NEAL of Lowndes moved to take the vote over os the only way to settle the matter. Mr. RAWLES made the point of order that calling the vote over would amount to recon sidering a reconsideration. Mr. SHUMATE remarked that there fault on the part of the Journalizing Clerk, lie- cause the journal shows the vote as it was an nounced. The SPEAKER ruled that the journal wa* correct. Mr. LEE made the point of order that the question was settled when the vote was an nounced and entered on the journal without objection. Mr. TURNIPSEED demanded a ruling on this point. Tbe SPEAKER mled that the poiut w token, and that he did not sec how the matter was to bo reached. Mr. O’NEAL, of Lowndes said that if there was a wrongin this matter there mast be a remedy, and the clerk has said that a wron; has been committed. Mr. O’NEAL appealed from the Shaker, on Mr. Lee’s point ot order. The appeal was put before the Honse, and the ruling was sustained. Mr. SCOTT moved to reconsider the action of this House yesterday, in relation to the pas sage of a resolution authorizing the publica tion oT the laws passed at this session of the General Assembly. Mr. SCOTT remarked that Mr. Harrison, who hod been employed in this work for some tiine. only received 40 cents per copy, and now proposes to do it for 25 cents—just half the amount to be given to the other man—and that abont eight lmndred dollars would be saved the State. On the motion to reconsider, the yeas and nays were demanded, with the following re sult: Yeas 38, nays G7. Mr. OSGOOD offered a resolution recalling the bill to amend tbe chnrter of the Savattnah, Seaboard and Ski da way Railroad Company, from the Senate, for the purpose of correcting certain clerical errors. This resolution was adopted. Several of the standing committees submit ted reports. The Finance Committee recommeuded the passage of a bill to repeal the, usury laws. On motion of Mr. FRYER, Colonel T. F. Jones was invited to a seat on the floor of the House. Mr. SIMMS, of Chatham, moved to suspend the rules to take up a bill to amend the road law in Chatham county, so tor as to make cer tain roads public. The motion did not pre vail.

In all these complaints the system evidently shows * want of red blood, aud Mr. Churchill, in his work on Disease* of Females, says: “Bearing in mind that the blood is remarkably deficient in red corpuscle*, and Un known property of iron to correct this condition, theo ry suggest* it as the most to be relied on, the best of which is Citrate.” Citrate of iron enters largely into the composition of English Female Bitters, combined with powerful vegetablo tonic* of rare qualities. Among the mountains of Tennessee and the pinoj - woods of Mississippi, is found a certain hard and llili- ty root, which has been in secret use by some old luid- wivea for many years, possessing magic powers in reg ulating and restoring all females suffering with any af- the principal ingredients in these Bitters. Other pow erful uterine and general tonics also enter into its com position. We also add Lcptandra or Black root, suffi cient to act upon tho liver aud keep the bowels open.
