Staic Wisdok Spe&diog $2,290 per dsy discussing tbs question whether the Legislature bee sny right to turn the oe gross out ot that 'body, and trying to “fix up a trick” to bamboozle Congress upon tb« subject. Funny Legislature 1 Bully Govern mentl 1 Happy people 111 MB. “Cip,” the sprightly correspondent of the Albany Airier, has a way of celling things by plain names. In his last, he says, that Ku Klux llungerford, looks like be might be a eroes between a sore-eyed spring chicken and a negro’s dog. That old Ad kins wants to votes particular negro-wenoh, which accounts for his advocaoy of female suffrage; and that Se iator Speer is taking lessons in elocution from somebody’s par> rot, and gives the benefit of tnis knowledge to listening Senators. “Cip” is a “brick,” and we like to read anything from his pen. Stats EooKoar,— Two hundred and thirteen Legislative members and about forty Clerks spending nine dollars apiece per day ; cay $22 H) to eeo whether Bullock bad any right to advance to Kimball $35, 000 for furnishing the new Capitol, and whether he had any business to let his pri vate Secretary make e thousand dollars collecting a two thousand dollar vacoina tioo bill against the State. THE LEGISLATURE. The main business of that tody since onr last has been the consideration of the reso lution of Mr. Price, member from Lutnpkin. the substance of which was, that the subject of the e 1 i g i b i 1 i t y of negroes to hold office, be referred to the Supreme Court. Mr. Scott, of Floyd, made an able speech against the resolution. Messrs. Morgan, O nes’, Kiwis, Tumlin a id others, nlso opposed it. Messrs. Shumate, Price, Philips, Lane and others, in saver. After two days discussion the resolution finally passed the House, and will pnbably pass the Semite. In the Senate, a great deal of time was spent considering the claim of Sharps Rifle Company, for gone sold the State, in the fall of 1860. There ia twen'y-five thousand dollars, with interest due on tho claim. It was lost ou Thursday ; but re-considered, and temporarily laid on the table Friday. About a dozen speeches was made upon it. Senator Nunnnlly made a very able and elaborate speech of about three hours dura tion, in favor of the claim. The argument ogainst tho claim, was that it is a war debt, and thereupon repudiated. The friends of the claim reply, that the debt was made long bufore Oeorgia seerdc I; slid thereup on, should Ire paid. It will probably pass the Senate. Its fate in the House is doubt fol; though a special committee have re pelled in lavor of it. Wc hear the Judici ary Committee favor it. It is a somewhat strange case : common justice says Geor gia should pay her just debts; lmt Geor gia was compelled to repudiate her war debt. The.question is, could .she make u war debt before she placed herself in a hos tile gttitudc by withdrawing from the Union? Tliat joe Brown bought the guns in contemplation of war, is doubtless true; l.ut did Georgia do any vrar-like act until •he adopted' the'oniinance of secession 1 Wo think not. Hence, it seems, that tak ing a legal view of the question, the obli gation to pay for tho guns ia just us great as it would be, bad they been purchated in 1850 ; ton years before the war. The special order of business for to-day, is the discussion of the movement to organs ice and endow, a State Emigration Bureau. This is a very important movement, and will doubtless, elicit and interesting dis cussion. We hope tho experiment will be tried. It can't do harm. It may do a vust amount ol good. A MIRACLE. The reporter of ono of the Atlnnta pn» pent states to a credulous world the follow* ing circumstance, os transpiring in the Georgia House of Representatives during the progress of Ur. Scott's speech on Fri* day last i “A most singular incident occurred “while Mr. So.tt whs speaking under the “resolution passed yesterday. Ho was liin “ited to 15 minute*. Tp, minute* after lie “Commenced, the clock sn the hull stopped, "stood still 30 minutes, and started again, “just as the speaker was closing, without “the aid of human hands.*' We are not apprised whether it was tbo eloquence of the speaker that struck mute the clock for thirty minutes, or whether the frowns of Speaker McWhorter intimidated the lirae-pieco, or whether some mischievi ous Democratic boy in the gallery tamper ed with tha pendulum. Perhaps the ora tor essayed to play Joshua, and “com manded the snn to stand still,” until he gat through, if hs did, and the sun obey ed, then we don’t blame the clock—other wise ihe clock is an arrant rebel, even if Mr. Kimball did buy It, nml n cdi recon structing. Wo turn the whole matter over to .OtiV Bullock, or a “special committs We close -whlr'a sug-resiioo upon th< etymology of the reporter.

Sample. „ WU.VJ IS CoNGHEiri DOING ? Wg have net for sotne time puoi'mh-d ti e skeleton teh grums fn.in Washington from tlie foot that they have i inoraced little mat ter of interest. The subject of reconstrue ting Georgia is still under agitation, and much bitterness of feeling is manifested by the dominant power. It is not, bower* er, belidved . that anything of importance will be done before the inauguration of Grant. As this day approaches more and more anxiety is felt by leading Radicals, as to the policy of the new administration.— They very much fear he will not submit to their dicatiun. Not a word can they gath er from him on the subject, lie will not even indicate by words or intimation who are to compose his Cabinet. This is very unu sual, as ell bis predecessors have rosde known, In advance of inauguration, who were to he their Cabinet advisers. Grant ia not even committed to Rad ion l politics by any public or private announcement, hie only platform having been, “Let us have peace.” In fact he goes into office more untrammelled than any previous President. lie has, however, oppied Congress already on two inuairtant meas ures.—the tenure of office law, and the merging of tho Indian Bureau with the War D“parrmcnt. He insists on tho repeal of the lormer, and strenuously urges the abolishment of the Indian Bureau. Turn ing over (he Indian business to the War Department, thus abolishing lots of plund ing officers, turning out scores of officers, and putting the murderous savng •» a' the mercy of the sword. This ought to have been done long ago, instead ot which the government, through tho Indian Bureau, has practically f>r years been off.-ring the savages premiums on the scalps of helpless border settlers. Grant’s po itton «m these two measures gives great reason to hope that he will make us a much better l’resi dent than was anticipated. For the press ent, tho Radicals at Washington will be too busy looking after him to do a vust amount of mischief South. The following is the 15th Constitutional Amendment a- agreed upon by tho joint Committee of both Houses, and recently offered in the Senate: Mr. Warner introduced a joint resolution proposing the following ume dineat to the Cotis itutio i; Article 15. The right oj citizens of the United States to hold • Hie-shall nor he de nied or abridged hy the Unit <1 States or any State, on ucoouot of property, race, color, or previous condition of servitude, and every innlti citizen of the United State* of the age of twcutvone years or liver, and who is of sound mind, shall have an equal vote at all elections in the State in which be shall have actually resided lor a period t>f one year nezt preceding such election, except such as may hereafter engage in in surrection or rebellion against the United Sjiutes, and such us shall Its duly convicted of treason, felony, or other infamous crime. Sec 2 Congre-s shall have power to en foice tins article tiy np| roprtate legislation. Mr. Stewart moved to amend it ny strik ing out the first S“crtoti and Nubsn roring that r-ported by the S-nst- Judiciary C m mittee: “The right of oitiz'n* u| tin* Ift.i t—l States to vote nod hold dlhie aho II n -t be denied nr abridged hy the United Suites or by noy Soiie on aconunt of race, color, or previous condition of .servitude ” Mr. Williams nwvvl tn insert before cit. izoos the Words natural born. Mr. Di dixie suggested that native horn Would ho liefer, hur Mr. William.- d:d not accept the umendment. Mr. Unwind offered the following ns n substitute lor the joint re-oluti.m reported by the JadioiHry Committee : Citizens of the United States of African decent shall have the same right to vote ar.tl hold office as other citizens Mr. Cor belt moved to add, “hut China men not horn in the United Stare* and In dians not taxed, ahull not be dceuied as made citizens.” The last amendment offered shows the liberality of spirit that actuates the Radi cal party. Africans ere good enough to vote and hold office, but Mr. Indian and John Chinimnn are nut. Guffeo can be re lied upon to ma'e a good Radical, hut they can’t trust the Red matin or the Colestiul. This 15th amendment, if adopted hv Congress, will of 2., uirw nayo t» he adopted hy three fourths the States before it be come.* a part of the Constitution. We are inclined to the opinion that this amendment, will travel tho same road as the celebrated Nth amendment, afiertho u*u.il amount of skirmishing sa l matoeaveiing. ad this will close up for the piot'iit the reconstruction business) even then we are not disposed to despond; we shall then go to work to make Democratic niggers, and we appre hend, frura past experience, that in a short time, Democracy will again wax strung and triumphant as in days of yore. Wo candid ly believe that Radicalism, as a power in the land, will aot survive Grant’s admiriie trillion ; and we surmise that Grant already has made the discovery, and is shaping his course accordingly. Let us hope for the beet. Wft-Frotn purues eonvsiMiiii with affair* in Atlanta, we lenro that Bullock is “not s > rampant as ho use to was,” and that he is growing somewhat conservative. That “little on pleasantness” with the Treasur er, has doubtless led him to think that the Legislature might have a esuae of quarrel with him, and Le is disposed to harmonize, which wo rt-o onm-udoil him to do sotno ; oe sine*. gtsP'T;, nd-y iioview says: “Every one h.is remarked th* g; „. me .-o wliioii cyer-prC ~H ~ wh-vp—'v whet, » ra*lt“h->M nenly proposes that f „,|| ,j: d„wr, and have aph usit t ,n . rthe dwuipr.au.- effect upon no >.* i. #!• » a ,' B pretucid by the .is-ur»i. v . .hr. ‘of • liesi ihing yon tver heard in yoor iitep*' or •- vexatious so. se of remorse when two o and Irieods meet, after a long separation, and each of them can only refl et th .n otl e his grown older anil duller, and that a gie.it • many of to ir oomuioii t pios of conversation have become ohsolsts.” T e paragraph i o relation to this Gotten poo ..-bed in the ‘Star,’ was net desigood io disparage the e-nims id nth«r varieties, but to place pr ,min«mly heforo the public the new ami Valuable -nriety grown by Mr. Tbrelkcid, for the benefit of planter*, and to be instrumental in disseminating inf >r matiun which vre believe will result in great good to the world, and especially to the planting interest. We simply gave, in the paragraph referred to, the price obtain ed for a lot of this Cotton in Savannah, be cause it was grown by Mr. Tbrelkeld, and another party near this city ; bat as Mr. Ware, in the Atlanta Intelligencer, has given the “Peeler” the benefit of a half col umn, we propose briefly to present the claims of the “Tbrelkeld” seed. In the first plac , we remark that Mr. Tbrelkeld has no seed f >r sale, except a few to his neigh* burs, and therefore we cannot be charged with “puffing’’ for the benefit of the pro ducer of this matchless Colton. Tbs fo’- lowiug is the article frurn the Intelligen cer : Pkxi.rb Cottoh.—ln the columns of your valuable issue of the 31 ultimo, my atten tion has been nttruf.t«d by an exHTOt from the Griffin Star, headed. "Bent this if You cun,” in which th« following somewhat ex traordinary hinguago occurs : “Much ha* bean said thmuzb the piper* of toe Peeler, and other varieties of long staple ootton*. hut we have yet to learn that any of these Imve been s dd in any Southern market for more than 35 cent* a pound, except the Threlkold cotton, An.” Though a grower ot the Peeler ootton. and townie extent in terested in the sale of its seed, yet this con sideration nl -tie would not have prompted mo to respond to the above, but aside from liny selfish cons derail n*. the gn at agri cultural and commercial interests of tho country—now just beginning the struggle, to free it-elf from the slough of bankruptcy and despond into which it hud fallen, de mands in the most imperative manner, that truth should b" elicited upon every subject of this character ; that the planter’s en( rgy and industry should he con entrnted upon that variety of our great staple, which ex perience prove* will be um-t remunerative to him, mid add to tho general wealth and prosperity of the South, now just again be ginning to claim her agricultural superior- ity over the wt! i. I have nothing to say about other varie ties of out ton, n-w recommended to the planters of your Stft e, more than if expe rience t'ciehe* that their culture, on necount of superiority of staple and abundance of ipeht, is must pr 'fltnhle, then every consid eration of justice r ol iu; crest requires that "fl shodld'retider them that praise which i* due. As to the superiority of the staple ol the various varieties of the Cotton tnw of fice I to the planters, I know ol hut one in* stance where their respective merits have been fully investigated and compared by Competent nnd disinterested authorities, and that was at tho Stole Fair at Mont gomery, Alabama, some two months ago, where every variety of superior cotton was on exhibition ; and the t.-sultof the com parison can bo -eeii »t Messrs. Pratt AJRd wards’, in the -hope of the nieJal awarded* the "Peeler Ootton.'' As to what price this ootton bring* in the vurin»» cotton marts, I hold left-is of Messrs. Foster. Gwyo A Cos., cotton fa -tors .if Now York, that they had sold the “I‘eolor Cotton” there th.s season at fifty-seven cents per pound. I I o'd nee not id nulos from the same |nr ies nt furty*fiv» cents.— I hold n o not . f sales Imui Messrs. Rust, J dill*on Al, «;k«U, at Sivmiriub, at forty five cents I tndd account sales of me fust pick iit;/ of our crop, (u ressurily an inferior grade -.1 cotton.) nude at New Orleans, nt thiriy-llve cents, when oihe. varit tios of same grade were bringing twenty-one-ttiid-a.-half cents. With the '‘Peeler Cotton,” it is not cca-iotially that, II account of *u|s*ri»t' handling, that n halo is sold at a greatly enhanced price ; lmt out of ten thousand hales sept to M n ket this season. l_ have yet to Irani Unit one has sold for less than ten! cents per pound innrn than varieties of nritnmy c‘t tun. But superiority of staple and price ulnne is not wlmttlie jJ-nter demand-, Mr. Editor. This has been di-covsred long since, in countless varieties of ootton. But the next question of no less importance than this is —ln it a prolific cotton ? If it does not possess this element, it may lie no mure valuable to the planter than uur or dinary growth. For nn answer to ties question, which so much interests us all, lot tho planter at mice open a correspond, epee with nnv N■’ “ Orleans merchant lies •piatnred with the growth of the ' Feoler Button, for they are acquainted#irh every lentnr« of this cotton, it is two months b''» fore tho seed nre to lie put in the ground, and utnp'e time is given to investigate ful ly, so that there be no necessity for being deceived about this cotton in any particu lar. Mr. E liter, let every planter struggle with tho other, with the proper manly feel ing for emulation only -rising above tiny unworthy prejudice, but doteratined to award merit where merit is due—having no wish to detract from that which tends to build up the scorched and wasted places of the South. We should turn to every* thing which looks to our ngricu Rural inter* ests with admiration, and to him who ad vances it us a public benefactor. Wbo is it that does not honor Georgia’s great ng riculturakist, David Diion ? lie is an hon or and an ornament to your State, and should be ohcri-shed with pride and grati tude by her people—for he has successfully revolutionized tho old and su ctdal system nf agriculture, and done more, perhaps, than any one man toward putting the South once more upon the high road to ag ricultural and commercial prosperity. U. R. am. We repeat what we have already said, that no lots of Cotton wprs sold in -any Southern market f>r more than thirty-five cents u pound, ex ept tho “Threlkeld Cot ton/’ Extraordinary its this as-ortinn may seem to Mr. Ware, it is nevertheless a fact which cannot be soeceßsfully controverted. It is o—erted, how ever, that a bale of “Pee ler Colton” was sold in New York for flfty goven cents a pound, at auction, as a fancy arnde, (whi.d. <acr Mr. Ware omitted to m*"'' ) .iuJ tlmt «•>**»< err -nt Sales of the film** fbttdn 4*t4 ia<udo'ac ruugtߣ ffii.u .2 t-> 45 cents I W« say that a lot of 12 hales, ginned on a common saw gin and imhfl'eren’ly packed, brought in a Southern market fifty ■one cents n pound, and the bs-t bale of the lot, if it had been sold singly, would have commanded, in Sayan- I nab, 75 cants per pound, and if the lot bud been told at auction in New YarJc,wit*<». Have it would have commanded at least 75 cents a pound 1 We assert this, because a few pounds of the “Tbrelkeld Ootton” was ginned on the McCarthy gin, and valued at that prioe. The firm of N. A. Hardee’s 8 >n & Go., of Savannah, say that this Cot ton is the best of the upland varieties, and their opinion as long and experienced cot toa dealers, is certainly entitle! to great respect. We claim that this Ootton is more pro lific than any other known to us. An in telligent and reliable planter bus informed us that he oounted during the past season, over three hundred matured bolls on a single stalk, and Judge Benson Roberts, a pi'in ter residing in this city, tells us that he raised over three thousand pounds of this Cotton on a single acre, without the use of fertilizers l We have seen a branch tnk>-n from a stalk now on exhibition in the office of Sims A Threlkeld. which was broken iff in July, measuring 18 inches in length, and which contains 12 bolls. Wo are in formed that the stalks of this Cotton are large and strong ; the bolls beyond the or dinary siz*, and that neither wet nor dry weather will cause the bolls to shed. These are faots which are known to many of Our citizens, nnd therefore we think that the ’’Threlkeld Cotton” is superior in every re sped to any other variety known to us.— We have so much faith In its superiority, that we intend to plant 10 acres of it this ye r, and if the friends of the “Peeler” va riety desire to test the respective merits of the two varietioi, let them send us a sow bushels of Beed. which we will plant and cultivate on the same quality ot land, and with the same care, and then give faithful ly and accurately the result of our experi ment. We are anxious that our planters should have the best aod most prolific seed, which can only be ascertained by actual experiment. Now, friend Ware, “come up to the scratch,” and send us some of tho “l’eeler” seed, and if they prove equal to the “Threl keld” seed, you shall have the benegt of a column next fall, without tee or reward. CITY IMPROVEMENTS. At no time sinco tbe war lias there been such a spirit of improvement manifest":! in Griffin ns nt present. The cotton sold this season will distribute from this point ne« ly one one.hnlf million dollars, and the magic effects of so much money are plainly seen and felt. General Daniel is putt’ng up three stores, two of them brick, on Tay lor street, near Hill, on the property recent ly pnreha«ed from Colonel Sam Bailey and Colonel Flynt. Ho also puts npon the mar ket three or four lots adjoining, which will doubtless soon bo improved. “Tobe” John* son is putting up four brick stores on Hill street, between Mangham’s store and Moss A Williams, which will add greatly to the appearance of that part of town, Mr. Bceks is soon to commence two fine stores adjoining the Methodist church ; sev eral fine residences arc just oomploted or being erected, among which ere notice n nice cottage on Poplar street, by Mr. Moss. In fact all tbe mechanics are having m re work than they oan do. Strangers contin ue to arrive, and all things look favorable for tho prosperity of our little city. Woi. t some enterprising capitalist or company build us a fine hotel? We also need a good school house on a grand scale, but of this we will speak more in the future.
