- URIFFIN. OBOROIA. Tuesday Morning Dec. 12,1871. ■■' -■■ —— A Word to Adtektiserh. -The Stab ha* tho Urgent circulation of any pa per published in this city. The Star is the official organ of Spalding, Fayette, Butts and Henry —■ Tkleokapi News.—The T«legTapl> News of yesterday was not of much importance. Heavy snow storms and extreme cold weather all over the North, are reported. The Prince of Wales continues dan gerously ill, with little hope of recove ry. The Grand Duke Alexis continues to be the great sensation. There is a strong pressure at Wash in ton to get Akerman cat o i the Cab inet. bat the President's viows are not known. Cotton continnes to advance. Won’t Rex.—The Radicals have, through their representatives in the Legislature, published a card in tho Era, refusing to run any candidate for Governor, or having anything to ub with the election. Conley is exhibiting a large amount of firmness, and now refuse.; to recognize the Legislature since last Saturday, that being the day ou which the constitutional forty days expired. Excitiug times this week in Atlanta may be expected. Ni.w Stats Executive Democratic Committee —We publish elsewhere the appointment by President Hartridge oi tho Now Execativo Committee of the Stilt . Tho Committee are generally men of respectablo ability, though de cidedly of the old llourb n cast. A m Jonty of them can bo influenced and controlled ou tho ol 1 Bourbon lino of Toombs, Stephens & Cos., and we regret that the best talent of that wing of tho Democracy has not been selected to ruu tho machine, inas much as Bourbonisin lias been agreed upon. As usual, in the appointments for this Distiict, Gridin has been ignored; in fact, wo doubt if Mr. Hartridge knows there is any such place, How ever, in Col. Dud. Hammond ho found a mail of talent and merit, and in Mr. Hall a man of tuueh personal clever ness. Tho Committee for tho Stato at largo, nro mostly men of solid worth. (Jen. Auderson at tho head of the list, nml former Chairman, should hav. been retained, a:: ho is a man of vastly moro ability than llartride, us well u of sounder common sense. Mr. Hog its. u-g >od, sensible, solid man. Mr. Cummings is brilliant and honest, and everybody knows Cary Styles. If ev erybody else is satisfied so are we. Political Sensation. Tho New York Herald, which is no thing if not sensational, expresses itself in f ivor of tho conquest and annexa tion of Mexico. The editor considers this the best measure to populuriz • Grunt with all classes of people, and if Grant fails to tako hold of it, ho pre dicts tlmt tho opposition night bo able to I >o.at Grant if they made this tun loading measure of their policy. H& thus forcibly adduces tho effects and consequences of the conquest: 15y the annexation of Mexico wo should give peace to that couutry.— Tho Mexicans themselves would soon learn to bless* the United States for tho benefit conferred. The rich silver quicksilver, copper, gold and other mines would soon bo developed in an extraordinary manner, and the bound less agricultural and other resources would bo brought out to enrich both tho Mexicans and our own country. - The different States would become so many new Califoruiaa in wealth »nd prosperity under the rule and enter prise ■ f Americans. Railroads and the lolegi iph would pouetrato every s c tion, and tens of thousands of our peo ple would go to the spleudid tropical table-lands for health and pleasure. Mt x.co would rise, like the Ibue iix, from its ashes. The six or aeveu mil lions of docile and industrious peons would have a uuw motive for labor, and the country would blossom as a rose. The United States would have a monopoly of the silver and quicksil ver productions of the world, besides a vast increase to the product of gold, copper and other minerals. The Isth mus of Tehuautep c would become ours, besides a uumlter of valuable ports, both in the Pacific and Gulf of Mexico. In short, the imagination would hardly realize all the advantages to both Mexico and the United States which annexation would bring. Thin is the great question for the adminis tration and the dominant Republican party. It is the grandest opportunity General Grant c >uld have. What says the President? Will ho mako the an nexation of Mexico the policy of his administration ? The Leoislatde. —For tlio past ten days this body has been pushing mat ters with commendable zeal, and have transacted more business than during the 30 days previous. If they keep on this way to the end, and quit a . good deal c-f their foolishness, wo may yet consider it nut less a duty than a pl< nsurc to pronounce an enlogium up on l e body, taken collectively; though no i' duoemcnt would allure us to do the s.tfno thing individually. Oa vmd ltAm.!’.—One of the most be "ttiful residonem in fie irgia, worth in nctunl c «t $3500, will be mfflml oft noon, at |lh n chance. Now la the into to invest your money. Full par* tioukn in swl iaaua. i Mr. Candler moved to reoouskler so much of the proceedings of yesterday ss relates to the passage of a resolution providing for tho appointaaent of a joint special committee to investigate various matters connected with the penitentiary and the farming oat of the convicts, on the ground that its object had been thoroughly accomplished by a legislative committee appointed iu 1809 at great expense and trouble. Mr. Erwin moved to lay the motion on the table; lost. The motion to reconsider prevailed: Ayes 19; nays 14. Mr. Smith moved to reconsider a resolution requesting the School Com missioner to resign the office which be now holds. Mr. Nicholls called the previous ques tion.

The committee appointed to look in to the amonnt of business before both Haases reported a large amonnt of bn incss before each body which ought to be acted upon daring the present session, and recommended that the ses sion be extended until Wednesday, 13lh inst. Mr. Brown-opposed the adoption of the report. He believes that there wontd still remain a large amount of business whenever the Legislature might adjourn, and if any very impor tant business shall not bo attended to, it can be acted npon at the session in January—further, that while it requires a two-thirds vote to prolong the scs si.iii, adjournment thereafter depends merely upon a majority vote. Mr. Wellborn offered a resolution that tho session be extended uutil Wednesday, 13th inst, molnsive, and not longer, except by a two-thirds vote. Mr. Roeso favored the adoption of the report, because not only expedien cy but necessity, as well as daty to tho people, demands action upon the ap propriation bill, the tax bill, and the perfecting of the public school system, which could all be acted upon by the time recommended in tho report for adjournment. The resolution of Mr. Wellborn, ns nil luriendment to tho report, was dopted. The report of the coruwit teo was then adopted by, ayes 27; nays 11.

Garnett McMillan, in refenco to remarks made by Mr. Mc- Millan relating to an attempt on tbe par.t of General Lewis to Lave ceytain text books, obnoxious to oar peopls, put into our schools. Mr. Pierce stated that he had pre pared the resolution before Mr. Mc- Millan’s speech; that said speech had nothing to do with the introduction of the resolution, that he alono is respon sible for it The Senate resolution provided for the * xtension of the session until Wed nesday next, was set down as tbe spe cial order for three o’clock. A resolution by Mr. Glover, request ing the Governor to order an election for Representative in Sumter county, to fiil the vacancy caused by the death of Hon. Wright Brady, was adopted. The tax act was assumed. Tbe Section Imposing a tax of twen ty cent* per gallon on liquor dealer i was stricken oat. AVTKBMOOM SESSION. A resolution by Mr. Richards. pro viding that r.!l bills pamrd, by the Hoiihu shall he st unw UmonitU 1 to the Si'imta, was adopted. The apeoin) order, to-wit, thsßsnat * j resolution continuing the Motion thro*' Wednesday next, was taken np. Mr. Bryan thought that thare was I by tom for five dare, andtbere migCt of the acts done after tho forty days had expired in the event that the reso lution was not approv sd. Ho said that the business now before the Legisla ture could be completed in the regular session in January. Mr. Simmons of Gwinnett thought that tho Governor has nothing to do with the action of the Legislature in continuing the session a few days by a two-thirds vote -and that there is mnch important boaiuees that oaunot be fin ished by Saturday night, and if the Legislature adjourn on Saturday, about one-third of the work already done would go for nothing. Mr. Wofford of Bartow, offered a substitute, extending the time nntil Saturday next He said that the business could not be finished until that time, and when the Legisla ture meets in January, it would take three weeks to got back to where the business now is. Mr. W. D. Anderson said that he wsntod some man who de ires to prolong the session, to give some good reasons why it should bo done. Mr. Goodman said that there are some important bills effecting his constituents which, although introduc ed, have not yet been finally disposed of. Speaker Smith said that his position kept him from voting in many instan ces, and that he had not taken part in die debates of qaestions as interesting to him, and that there are some impor tant measures still pending which the interest of the people demand should be attended to. This Legislators has not wasted its time, bnt had to meet and pass ujkiu some of the gravest and most important questions which have ever come before any General Assem bly iu this State. Tho interest of tho people would boa great deal better subserved by carrying through meas ures which their interests demand than by an Inopportune adjournment, and the party, which is opposed to this ad jourment, want to disgrace this body by cutting short the time, and thus causing imperfect legislation. This speech was eloquent, and earnest, and elicited applause. On motion to adopt Mr. Wofford’s übstitute the yeas and nays were call ed, with tho following result: Yeas, 120; nays, 32. The following bills were read the third time: To incorporate tho Atlanta and Mon licllo Narrow Guago Railroad Compa ny; passed.
