The Senate occupied Thnraday and Friday last in discoaring aWH pro-ri ding for anew Coart for each Senato rial District The Judge and Solicitor to be appointed, the same as the Cir cuit Judges, and Solicitors are now se lected. In districts of under ten thou sand population, the Judges salary to be SSOO 00; the Solicitors, $250 00; between ten and twenty thousand, the salary of Judge, $750 00; Solicitor, $375 00; and bo dfi up to a population of 40,000, when the Judge shall have $2,00(7 QO, and Solictor General, 1,000- 00, This Cotart to hare general civil jurisdiction and ariminal jurisdiction in all cdses not amounting to felony. The Clerics of Superior Courts shall act as Clerics of the new Court The expense of the salaries are to be paid by special tax in each distrct— Much opposition was manifested, and several Senators moved amendments to have their Districts exempted. The bill was finally set down for next Fri day. The House spent the same days dis cussing the Bill to change the Charter of Savannah, to give colored voters better chance at the polls. The con sideration of this bUI caused great dis order, and almost amounted to a little revolution. At one time the negro mem bers, and other friends of the measure, stampeded the house and left it with out a quorum. It was finaUy indefi nitely postponed, to the great disgust of Bryant and his white and colored I allies. Saturday—The Senate spont the day in legislating against railroad trains rnnning on the Sabbath day, and suc ceeded in passing a biU, prohibiting trains from between the hours 6 a. m., and 6p. xn. This is the most foolish piece of legislation that ever passed this senseless body. A few hypocriti cal parsons and demagogues are trying to cover their short-comings and vil lages by a pretense at piety. Do they expect to fool the Almighty by allow ing the cars to run in the dark ? Away with such tomfoolery. The House did nothing; but they did more than the Senate. The Devil to Pay. We publish elsewhere a remarkable letter from Linton Stephens, Chair man of the State Executive Democrat ic Committee. Mr. Stephens accept* the Chairmanship, but repudiates the action of the four committee-men that elected him. We are now having erect ed a bronze monument to commemo rate the memory ol these four dun cep. We are ashamed of Lint Stephens’ letter. Unde Cabiniss was bad enough, so far as old fogyism is concerned, but compared with Stephens, he is a mere lad 1 In fact, if Georgia was raked and scraped with a fino tooth comb, we don’t believe a bigger fool, politi cally, could be found than this same Lint Stephens 1 The concluding paragraph of Mr. Stephens’ letter, is an open, flagrant insult to men who fought for Southern freedom, while Lint Stephens tread on velvet carpets in Richmond ! He is a nice man to talk of courage 1 A man who never raised his arm in de fense of his country in her hour of peril, now prates glibly about courage! It is to be hoped that Aleck Stephens will come out soon in a card, denying that Lint, is oven his half brother 1— As for the Executive Committee of the Democratic Party of Georgia, we don’t consider them now of any political ac count whatever 1 They recommend one coarse and their presiding officer another 1 Which shall we respect and obey ? The truth is, each Beetion of the State, and eaeh particular locality, will have to be governed by the surround ing circumstances. For instance, the Fifth District has only one man com petent to fill the office of Congress man; and that man is Lint Stephens; consequently the people should send him! True, he never can get in, but what does that matter ? His brother Aleck has been U. S. Senator for about four years; an outaide member, how ever. How if Lint could be sent to the other branch of Congress, it would be so nice for the Stephens brothers ! How long does the Democratic Par ty of Georgia intend to ba led by such old logy ideas and such old Itmrhm men f j BMW. all Oils. w« In*- I tteve we mb beat the Hndlcsls ibis | ML Dot ts we bed gone to Dal look I pESrSsSS I Chairman of the Democratic State Ex- I Committee, we should reoom* mend o*4 Lint Stephen* resign forth lock’s Atlanta Democratic organ, we suppo* he w»H “prolong t»; A Tocchmo Bc*** I— Coming down from Atlanta one Ate morning last week, we encountered Pwt Williams, of the Georgia Blind Aayhrm, return ing to MiQedgeville with a dosenor more of his blind pupils. They ware an interesting and intelligent little par ty. At Jonesboro’ a blind lad named Borlra, about twelve yean old, joined the party. He was accompanied to the train by his mother, a Confederate sol dier’s widow, whose plain bonnet and sun-burnt features showed plainly that she was a daughter of toil, and ac quainted with the hardships of pover ty; but her whole soul seemed wrop ed up in the little blind orpiian ! We have never seen a more affecting part ing. Great tears stole down the cheeks of this poor mother, yet not a sob or murmur escaped her lips ! She evi dently didn’t want the little boy to know her heart-strings were swollen almost to bursting! But the little boy’s sensitive finger rambled over the care-wOrn features of the mother, os if determined to see her through the nflnttfttinn of touch, though sight was denied him; and when he encounter ed the evidence of weeping, it seemed as though his little manly heart would buret 1 But the loaomotive waits not for sentiment, and the little blind boy was torn from the bosom of his moth er, and joined his comrades in the car. They expected him; they appreciated his grief at parting from his mother, for they hod gone through similar part ing soenes a few hours before. Young Burks was doubtless a favorite with the pupils of the Asylum last year; at all events, almost with one acoordthey hailed him with rapturous greetings; caught his hands and squeezed them; congratulated him on his improved ap pearance; called him “Mister Burks” —and soon made him at least partial ly forgetful of his grief. It will be nut ny a day before we shall forget the scene! Unanimous I —The sentiments of the Democratic and conservative people of the State, and most of tho reliable pa pers, are urging that Lint Stephens shall immediately withdraw from the Chairmanship of the Democratic State Executive Committee, as he does not represent the views of the party, and was not elected by a quorum of the Committee! Here’s Richness !—Last week we saw Senator Tom Speer calling Sena tor Brock to order on his pronuncia tion and grammar—one the clown of the Senate, and the other the—mule’s father 1 We don’t suppose either one over wont to school three months in his life ! Their being in the Senate has deprived two public institutions of tho State of one boarder each 1 19* The Constitutionalist is the on ly real Democratic paper, of all our exchanges, that we have yet seen, who approve of Linton Stephens’letter. As this paper nominated him for Chair man,we suppose it feels bound to sus tain him. The modeled man in Georgia is Liut Stephons t He accepts his elec tion as Chairman of the State Demo cratic Executivo Committee by only four members of the Committee, but says those four couldn’t pass a resolu tion binding the party, because they did not make a quorum 1 Meeting in Hontioello. Monti cello, Sept 6,1870. The citizens of Jasper county met at the court-house on to-day, for the purposo of nominating delegates to the Convention to meet in Forsyth on the 21st instant, for the purpose of nominating a candidate to be ran for Congress. On motion, of Col. Lofton, the meeting was organized by calling Maj. Lane to the Chair, and request ing J. H. Holland, Esq., to act as Sec retary. After the usual deliberations, the following gentlemen were appointed delegates to said Convention: Col. L. A. Lane, Maj. J. C. Key, Capt James Henderson, and W. W. Pope and T. It Williams, Esqra. On motion of Col. Preston, the moot ing was changed into a railroad meet ing, when tho following resolution was oflored by CoL Preston: Reaoivad.

The nomina tion is so replete with interest to the people of theDistriet that no Georgian should suffer personal presences to con trol him in the selection of a candidate either for Congress or the State Legis lature. I have, as other men, my pref erence, but do not propose, at this time to suggest his nomination, or to mention hu name. Either of the gen tleman you have named would suit me, and wonld fill the position with credit to themselves and honor to the State; two of whom In days gone by, I had the pleasure voting for, mid felt proud of their election. J But it is not now a question of whom wo perfer, but a question of who we can support, that can and will take hip Beat if elected. I commend your views, so well expressed, in regard to caution, prudence, eto. « m ' The. Democratic members of Con gress have published an “Address” to the people of the Sonth, in which they impress upon them, that, “in no event, to nominate candidate who cannot take the test oath, or whose disabilities have not been removed.” To elect a man who cannot take his seat, is virtu ally to elect a Radical. It k now an established rule of the majority of the present Congress not to seat any one who is ineligible under the Reconstruc tion Acts, and who cannot take the test oath; and in all such cases, if the next highest is a Radical, they seat him. We should, therefore, be pru dent and catltious. I have heard that the wise suggestions made by the Dem ocratic members of Congress would not be regarded. I cannot believe that this is true of the controlling influ ence in the Fourth Congressional Dis trict Suoh action is what the Radi cals most desire. There are a few men in the Fourth Congressional District, good and true Democrats, with sufficient ability, who are not ineligible, who would repre sent us for the present until a general amnesty wilU relieve those laboring under disabilities whom we now wish to represent ns in the national coun cil. My object in writing this article is to have your assistance in urging upon the delegates to the convention to for get personal preferences anil select those candidates who can take their seats if elected. You say, “We trust the same care will be exeroisod in the future, that was exercised in the At lanta Convention.” I hekrtily endorse the suggestion. I know that the quiet action of that Convention inflicted a greater wound to the Radical canse than all tho speeches that could have been made. No' Democrat who was present at the National Hotel on the evening after the adjournment of the Convention can forget the effort that was mode by the Radicals to have some ill-timed, Knklux speeches. Some of their leading men were seen passing through the assembled crowd suggest ing the names of those Democrats they wished called out to speak; and when they had signally failed in their pur pose, bv reason of tho speakers who responded to the call not indulging in that strain that they so much desired, but discussing other subjects than that of politics, the Radicals dispersed in perfect discomfiture, and their long faces have not yet attained their prop er form and features. In all our Conventions for nomina tions, either in the Districts or coun ties, let ns abstain from resolutions and speeches that will tend toward excite ment or stir up the passions and pre judices of any citizen, and in all cases treat the colored man with kindness and consideration. Their interest is identified with the Sonthem white man, and the last few years have convinced them of the fact. Many of them will unite with us in preserving the liber ties of the people and their rights to choose their rulers. There are butfew of them, ontside of the Legislature, who were in favor of depriving the people of their right to an election this fall. The attempt of the Radicals to prolong their term of office in the Leg islature, has shown what may be ex pected if “Carpet-Baggers” and “Scal awags” are to control the country.— Let our motto be, the Constitution; The right of the people to choose their rulers; Wisdom, Justice, Moderation. A. D. Nunnally. Judge Linton Stephens Accepts the Chairmanship of the Democratic Executive Committee. Sparta, Ga., September 6,1870. Colonel 11. A. Alston, Secretary of the Democratic Executive Committee of Geor gia— Dear Sir: Your letter was duly received informing me that I was cho sen chairman of tne Democratic Exec utive Committee of this State at a meeting held .at Atlanta on the Ist in stant, in pursuance of a call from the President of the Democratic Conven tion to assemble at tbo time and place and complete their organization by electing a chairman ontside of their own number. While sending to the committee, through yotl, my acceptance of tho po sition assigned, and ray sincere ac knowledgement of the honor conferred, I take this occasion to express my own views on a subject, which tbe commit tee have brought before tho public, by taking action on it before their selec ted chairman hod accepted hie appoint ment, and before, therefore, they bad a complete organisation, or ovon the number required by the resolution of the the convention providing for the formation of an Executive Committee, The subject to whieh I allude Is the ecWUon of candidates in the approach ing election with a reference to their ! el uil'illty tinder existing eo-ealled laws, Niid (he oertainty of their being allow* §a|s as can take the iron-dad or test The difficulty of making areoom uniform rule applicable alike tofileo tions for Congress and elections for the State Legislature, was foreseen bf the -recent Democratic Convention, and in duced the Business Committee of that body, and that body itself, to forego the attempt I must also remark that the gentlemen who have put forth the recommendation in question have fal len into a mistake as to there haning been any recommendation on this sub ject from the Democratic Executive Committee of the United States. On the contrary, the whole subject of eli gibility of candidates, as affected by so called disabilities, bas been left by the National Democratic organization, and by the Democratic State Convention, without any recommention at all, low ing the members of the party every where perfectly free to shape their own convictions of principle and policy in the different localities. But since the subject has been brought before the public in a quasi official form by mem bers of the Committee with which l am officially connected, I deem it due to myself to make known my own distinct and strong convictions as to the course required by sound policy and sanction ed by sound principles. As to members of the Legislature, I think the people Bliould select only those who are free from all the so-call ed disabilities, and this this simply as a matter of policy. The Legislature will be subject to the manipulation of the dominant party at Washington, and that party will certainly exclude •from it all persons who may be subject to any of the disabilities which tney have prescribed for and attempted to fix upon that elass Os officers. For the Legislature we have abundant sound material, which is free from all disa bilities preesribed for that class; and by electing a Legislature from this ma terial, we shall either got a sound ad ministration of State affairs or else drive the enemies of constitutional lib erty into the perpetration of somehow outrage, and thus pile up and acceler ate the retribution which awaits them at the hands of an indignant people. It must be borne in mind that the iron clad or test oath has not yet been re quired for members of the Legislature. Members of Congress stand on a dif ferent footing, and withregard to them I believe a different polwWia demanded. In their case the iron-clad or test oath is required. Let not our people per suade themselves that the party now dominat iu Congress will dispense with that oath individual cases or by gener al repeal, except for a consideration— a price paid or to be paid. That price wul be nothing leas than the accep tance of all their usurpations as “fixed facts,” without even a pledge against unlimited usurpations in the future. I firmly believe it would be fur better that our people should remain forever unrepresented, than that they should be misrepresented by men who can either the oath or get a dispensation from it It is idle and foolish to expect the Rad ical party, in the present condition of affairs, to admit into Congress any real representatives of our people. They will accept only those who would de stroy our moral power by misrepresent ing and debasing us. Let us, there fore, dismiss all idea of getting real reprerentatiyes into a Congress whore there is a Radical majority; and let tas not forget that a true Democratic Con gress will admit any members who may have the qualifications required by the true constitution, stripped of the de structive usurpations which are attemp ted to be foisted upon it by no higher authority than Congressional enact ments and Presidential proclamations. There are, and can be, no disquali fications or disabilities of members of Congress, but such as arc prescribed by the constitution itself, and by th§ constitution, I mean that sacred instru ment in its purity as contra-distinguish ed from the so-called 14th and 15th amendments. This doctrine was sol emnly and repeatedly adjudicated by Congress itself in its better days. It has never been violated bat by Radi cal revolutionary violence. And never let it be foigotton that this violation now perpetrated in the name, and un der color, of the 14th and 15th amend ments, was equally perpetrated by the same revolutionary party before tbe passage of either one of those so-call ed amendments. I remark just here, in passing, that the 13th amendment, abolishing slavery, stands upon an en tirely different footing, and, in my judg ment, constitutes a valid part of the constitution. This doctrine—that the only possi ble disqualifications or disabilities for members of Congress are those to be found in the constitution itself—always observed in the better days of the gov ernment, and violated only by revolu tionary radicalism, will certainly be re spected and enforced by every true Democratic Congress in the future. I think, therefore, that we should se lect members of Congress without the slightest regard to so-eaDed disabili ties, except that we should not fail to send, at least, some who are subject to them, and who have ability to show their invalidity and enormity. They must havo have a hearing on the ques tion of their right to seats, and that question well argued on the theatre of Congress wonld shake this county from centre to circumference. Our strength lies in attack—in attacking the usur pations and enormities of the party who are seeking to overthrow our whole system of government, by fin! crushing out the States which aland as the obstacle iu the way of their scheme of centralization and ooneequsnt nnob atuatod public plunder. Our strength is in the truth, and their weakawa is in their guilt. Our policy is not to shrink from tho ooutest, but to warn uni emitting war on the field of truth and reason i sad we moat bring foe* governor prohibiting conversations on -i .j.: t u Jfc account oi neaitn. , Grammont is here. ?He escaped via Havre.

To-mor row, another batch might get up and declare themselve the Provisional Gov ernment. and involve the city in blood shed. He considered such a result more than probable, if arms are placed in ti»e bands of the lower dimes.— The first new reverse on the approach offrussians before the city, might be the signal for the overthrow of the pres ent self-constituted Ministry and the creation of another. Grammont confides in Trochn,but apprehends that he will be permitted to have his own way, and believes that Francois fully able to vidic&te her honor and expel the Prussians front the territory. He declines to express an opinion upon the future fate of the Emperor or his dynasty. •’* Aw Grammont had a long interview with (Gladstone and Granville.

It is believed these terms will be acceptable to the Republic. - ' " Pabis, September 11.—Troohu or ders all the woods wjthin sight of Par is to be destroyed upon the approach of the enemy.

Madrid, Sept. 9.—Great manifesta tions of sympathy with the French yesterday. Twenty thousand people were in procession, with banners and inscriptions, flattering to France, the bands playing the Marsellaise. No disorder. Washington, September 9.—A spe cial to the Tribune says the President is now in favor of the maintenance of the Republic of France. He said: I< have hastened to give the new Repub lic a moral support, and hope before a week is ont she will need nothing further. I think the Prussian King may be induced to stop fighting. A special to the Herald, from Carls ruhe, says: A flag of truce left Straue burg yesterday, conveying propositions of snrronder. Ulric proposed a cessa tion of hostilities, but 2,000 French wore to remain in possession of France, and pledged themselves to take no part in the war; the remainder of the garri son to be released, officers bearing side arms, and the Prnssians to hold the the city. The terms were rejected and an unconditional surrender was de manded. Garrison become prisoner of war; officers paroled with side arms Ulrie then asked permission for civil ians to depart, which was refused, ex cept as to women and children.
