The citizens of Terrell having for a week previous been notified that the lion. J. T. Clttrke, Hon. Thos. Harde man, and Col. C. Goode would address them yesterday. At an early hour, both white and bia;k had assembled in the Court house yard where ample seats and a stand bad been arranged for tbe accotn odation of beth speaker and audianoe.— They patiently awaited the arrrivalof the train which only brought onr much honored end highly esteemed fellow cit izen, the Mod.

Coehran, amid a deafen ing applause. Tbc Judge being well known in Terrell, and having their un bounding colL'lcdcc and respect of her citizens, had their undivided attention during bis whole speech which had a telling effect on the color'd portion of Lie audience, so much so M 10 canßC thtm to organize a Democratic cliA l* Bl night of some 20 or 30 member. We talked with a prominent blaci | man who had been formerly a rampant radical, but said that he had Uarned from the Judge’s speech that he bad been sadly deceived, but never knew it until be hoard that speech, and is now one of the members of the Democratic club. Buch was the case with many others he tells us. The speech showed hr the most glowing light the perfidi ousness of the radicals and their extra* ordinary efforts to deceive the blaeks; so much se that we predict that it will completely demolish all Loyal Leagues hereabout. If we had space and time | we would like to give to the public much of this excellent effort of the Judge’s. Our old friend, the Rev. Jonathan Davie, addressed the citizens in a brief and eloquent speech of some fifteen minutes with good effect. At the close of the speaking the eit mene appointed the following delegates to the CouveniJ-'U of the 2d Congress ional District to be held at SmithviUe an today: 3d District, J. E Hunter, B. F.

Wc regrot to learn that aotne of our promising yoar.g men par take too freely of theso spirits. If you have taken only one dram, take no more ; if yon have taken two or three, stop at that; it will ruin you if you oon. tinue to indulge in this destructive bev erage.

Delivered in the House of Represent'as of the Georgia Legislature, on the Eligibility of - the Negro. Mr Speaker: Ido not propose to make a speech : in fact, sir, lam no apeakiDg mao, bat being regarded as tbr father of the measure now pending, I feel that it is duo to my constituency, to myself, and especially, to those men of color, that I should give my reasons sos this very important move. Yes, it is of mueh greater importance than any that ever yet came before sdj General As sembly. I shall plaea the resolution entirely upon its own merits, together with tbe opinion as expressed by Joseph E , not that good man Joseph that wo read about in the Holy B'ble, but Jo seph E. Brown, the areh-traitor, and now Cheif-Justice of tbe State of Geor gia. He, the father, as it were, of tbis Constitution, which I now hold ia mv hand, and which, as an honest man, I am sworn to support, and which every member upon this floor is solemnly sworn (o adhere to, denies tothese gen tlemen of color the right t> a seat on this flior. Common eetise, common ress sod, tko welfare of tbe black and of the white raee, require every thinking man to turn oat. The Constitution of the S r ate of Georgia say* turn them out. i The Constitution of the United S ates, with all its damnable amendments, says, turn them ont. Therefore, sir, if we fail to comply with the solmo oaths we have subscribed to, when this House is tbe judge of the qualification of its mem- j bers, by retaining men here who arc clearly ineligible, we will be held to ac coud' i >r it by onr constituency and by our God. Bir, I am no eoemy to the black man; lam bis friend. 1 desire to see him prosper. I desire, sir, that he should hvve all the privileges to which be is entitled under tbe Coostitutition, which be bad aided in making to govern tbe people of the State of Georgia. There ft te, if he and t hose Switzerland fellows have swindled bim out of any right that in bis indgmeot he ought to enjoy, blame your leader, Joseph E. Dead, and don’t blame roe for carrying out in good faith that which I have sworn to sup port; and which in my judgment I in tend to support at all hazards. Sir, it has been whispered to me that some colored men here would become very desperate in the event they were ousted from their seats. Why should tbis be true ? Why should they become enraged at honest men for simply con forming to that solemn oath which they have subscribed to, contained in that Constitution made by thems’lvcs ? VV ho is responsible for these men of color be ing deprived of the privilege of b' Iding office? I ask, who is reeponsibl? Is it the Democrats? Dib they have any band in making tbis Constitution which deprives them of this privilege ? Am I responsible? Sir, I call upon Georg’ans to say who is responsible ; I call upon the black men to say wbo is responsible. I am prepared, sir, to substantuate, by the most intelligent members who com posed that so called Convention, that CMlt red memlorfl nbmiM not hold r.tTV»p Therefore, if you were so ignorant that you did not know that the eight to hold office waso e >bing, and the right to vote was a very different thing you certianly have done great injustice to your breib ren of color by not election meD who were capadle of comprehending the meaning of the various clauses of this instrument. You may talk about insurreotion, j revolution, war, and bloodshed ; you ; may do ail these things lo intimidate honest men from a discharge of their duties, or yon may be in reality : but let me tell you that it matters not wi'h me whether you are in reality or not. I am in earnest, snd‘l am in dead earnest. May this right arm fall, may my wife Bnd children forever fbr.-ake me ere I, in my judgment, should be guilty of a crime so great as to vote to retain any man or set of men in their seats here at the compromise or sacrifice of my oath, try honor, the honor of my constituency and especially Georgia’s honor. Carpet baggers, I call upon you this evening to repent in sackcloth and ashes for having deceived these ignorant creatures, who relied upon you as their true friends, for swindlidg them out of the right to hoid office, as you have done I <n every instance since their freedom, up here this evening, stand up ana tell them tbe truth; tell them that you are ..heir worst enemies; tell them that tbe Southern men with whom they j were reared are iheir ouly true and re- j liable friends* Many colored men sup-; ported me, and they did it because ihey j believed that I would give them justice ns 'heir representative, and they shall not be deceived. I intend to do justice j to tbpse colored men, in accordance with tbe solemn oath which I have here tak-j en Tuey would not have me degrade ! myselr an” them too, by perjury Ttiey I shall know that you deprived them of : tbe light to seata on this floor. The world shall know who ire res-onsible ' for it. You carpet-baggers shall have i just retribution lor swindling these men ; out of rights that you told them j they wero entitled to. You made a Constitution depriving them of the right and you now would place the blame ou honest men if you would dare attempt it. but you cannot do it. It is too plain And if any gentleman denies tbe proposiiioD, L am prrpa ed now, right now, to substantiate by Georgians, wbo tvete members of that so-called Convention, that they met in caucus and did there declaro that they wou’d burst up tbe concern and go borne, uns less article ten ot tbe section on ft** chise, of that Convention, was stricken out—which article gave eolored men the right to bold office. Dare aoy geutlc l man deny this proposition ? If so lam p-ep'ared to make the proof by men un der i^ o - s o UD d of my voice—men wbo were wet* o ? rs that Convention, and who respect .heir wives at.d children too much to say thaC they would not burst up the oouoern un!e»* this article ten was stricken out. It W reconsidered, thereby leaving Ibe oolorea clearly in eligible to a seat on thia floor. Now. who is to blame T These very men who are your only true friend*, the men you were raised with, told you they were enemies to you and your country, and simply d< sired to give you the right to vote, so they might forever enjoy some nice, fat office for themselves. Georgia ! Georgia 1 You are about to cast a vote on a question of more vital importance than any one in which you were ever called upon to record your names. Ido not beleive tbst there is on* Georgian on either aide of this H mse, that can with tbe eyes ot those lovely ladies, the dearest creatures on earth, now upon them cast tbeir vote, making them aqnal to tbe negro. Is there a Georgian on tbit fl >or that can do so ? If so, let him get up and look those glo rious orcatares in the gallery in the face. Georgians, can yon do it? I will ans wer for you. No, no, you cannot, you are too honest, you have not so far de graded yourselves, neither will you. 1 expect carpet-baggers to voto to keep him here, for thoy know full well that they would be compelled to "get out of the wilderness” if tbeyf did not do some thing to bide their -mischievous swind ling operation with the negroes. And now in conclusion, sir, let me say to yon my colored friends, in all candor and common boDcstv, to prefer charges of desertion in your hour of need, ag&insl carpet-baggers et id omne genus whom you preferrd -ud whom you elected to make that Constitu-i >u which every member npr n this flour has sworn to support. Fur they illustratrd to the minds of every intelligent man, most conclusively, that when artifice, eva-ions, and false profestiona, had sub served tbeir purposes they tbeu forfeited all claim to political honesty, oonsistan cy aDd stir dealing. The legal ground having been fully discussed by sound legal minda, and ably too, I shall resist from further remarks at my time has exp red. Feeling confident that a vote on this question will b a unanimous by all hon orable Georgians, I call for the previous question. Note. —The original question before tbe House was the report of the minori ty report,of the Coimuiitee on Privileges and Flections, which declared Fyall in eligible on account of non-residence By a vote of the House, Mr. Tutnliu’s reso lution declaring all the negro members ineligible, was substituted, and ia the resolution on which this long discus-ion baa been bad.

At tbe formal opening of the Uuca and Sherbourne railway on Wednesday last a maiuoth dinner was spr ad for thousands of persons at the lattor plr.ee. Among the gt»e»u l was Governor Sey mour, who made the following address : Fellow-Citizens ’ My friend, Mr. Lawrence is not only au energetic iuau, but he is a shrewd man. Many years ago, as hi has said, it so happened that I was interested with him in a little en ierpr.se; but to day, having been invit ed to atten 1 tbe oppeuing of his railroad I am reminded how he has out stripped . me in the race. To-day tha citixcna of Utica have laid aside their everyday cares, and discarding political and busi ness matter, they eome down to tbe Coe uaogo Valley to exchange congratula tion-* over the saoceagful prosecution of I this great enterprise. I suppose we are i to bear nothing of polities, but every where on the tont the people were talk ing aboot the President, andevervbody seemed to advoeate the cause of Presi dent Lawrence. Listening to them one might have supposed that a third party movement had lately been started. [Laughter.} It occasions me pleasure, tellow-oitizms, to have something to say about the Valley of the Chenango, I saw it before most of those who ate here to day, and, meeting to rejoioe over j our great acheivcment, 1 can assure you that you have great reason for congrat ulation. Well you may bo proud of what you lave done; exultant over tbe past, and confident of success in the fu ture. I have heard some disparaging allusions to the old fashioned stage coach. That old coach was a fine affair in its day, and I remember, when a s’udent at your neighboring village of Oxtoid, how tbedittcarded vehicle was a nieaus of locom ttion not to be despised. T '-day we should remember with grati tude tbe men of 'hs past. It was their heroic bravery that, wroght out for us the advantages which we are oojvappre ciating and impioving. Let ns remem - ber them, then, with thankfulness. I know, better than most of yon, what abundant occasion you have to be proud of your ancestors, Os their heroic en ergy and individuality I cannot speak at length now, but for sterling manhood and for vigor of character you have nev er goue, and never can go, beyond your lathers. 11 iwdeeply this project con cerns us you all know, but lime will be r> quired t- give you aproper appreciation of us atfvauiages. At my home in Oau lda ctunty I overlook from my farm od the sl-pe of the northern hiils the great m gee which furrouud you here Oursectim bears marked relationship to tbe whole coutiuent. The waters that run iff this range pass by every city of consequence in the Uni<n, with the exc-ptiou of Bast n. Delaware and Cuei-apeak bay receive your waters. A little west the Alleghany river, as you know, empties iuto the Ohio river, and thence passes by Cincinnaui and St. Louis, emptying iuto Erie and the Golf j of Me xico. F. rther west, on thi» same 1 range, Like Erie and the Gulf of St. Lawrence rective yonr waters, and on the north the Mohawk river, finding its source tn the other side of tbe slope, carriei its waters past our capital, and tbeoce by the n&tiou’s metinpolis to the ocean.

Let us than lay deeper and deeper tbe foundations oi that intelligence that lies at tee bottom of all such enterprises as these, aDd uniting with our efforts the vigor and self denial of our fathers, we can be sure that this is but the bes ginning of these enterprises that snail make our land glorious among tbe na tions ou earth, and our people prosper ous and united. National Intelligencer. Good Prospects of the Cam pa*«H. A correspondent writing from New York to the 80-ton Post says : The prospects of victory are im proving daily. Advicea from the in- j terior, where all tbe Republican strength lies, represent utt-r apathy among the supj>osed supporters of Grant, and constantly increasing en thusiasm io the ranks of tbe Dam <Ci A cy. But as New York is absolutely certain for Seymour and Blair, it is not worth while to dwell on the situs tion here. Pennsylvania and tbe largo States of the West challenge more at tention, and it is of these that men apeak when discussing the prospects there. Indistiv, Wisconsin, and Mis souri are reckoned on the Democratic side hy comfortable majorities, aud late advices from Illinois give ground for strong nope that Seymour will cany that Bute too. New Jersey is as sound as the dollars we hud in the Democratic limes ; Connecticut di to; Maryland is safe for thirty or f rty thousand ; an t Kentucky wiil give a ] Democratic majority which, if distrib j uted pro rata among the Radical States in the West, would give every one of, them to the Demcracy. California, too, is believed to ba all right, and ! there is some hope for both Maine and ' New Hampshire. So the sky looks 1 hr ght all around, and the confidence of the Democracy baa a broad and , substantial basis. L E3T Now is tho time to sabeci ibe | for the Journal To Bo T ranainilli'd. The tjieech of Maj Mottos, one of tin E'ceturs for ike State nr large, made at Indiiio Springs last week, which con tains tbe following passage, Which We give our readers as the purest specimen of denunciation yet developed in this i campaign. We doubt if the English | language furnishes a stronger I tion ts words tbati this, and we predict ,‘hat the excoriation of Joe Brown will ge down te posterity as standard stump orator, to be declaimed by thoneandv of school boys yet uubors —Gr jfin Star. B ware how you take the fi et »tep in Radicalism You know not to what extreme it will lead you. There tj ouo man who knew not the baseness to which be woulddesceud, un til urged on by mad ambition. Let him bean example to dtter you. He was honored by ti'e State wlieu she was free to bestow honor. He has endeav ored to place old associates aDd friends below the level of tbe negro. lie has done this to protect himself from per sonal accountabilities and save from con fiscati in a fortune accumulated during the red carnival of war He embraced dishonor, that he might have his politi cal disabilities rirn-.vcd, and, as a Senas tor, by the sovereignty of his State at the so. tstool of her enemies. Yt the flhicago Convention, be voted lor the Radical platform, which declared that Georgia should enter the Union as an inferior member and not an equal among sovereigns. Among our enemies, in a set tpc'-cb, he published his treachery and boasted of his infamy. Tbe House of Representatives rebelled against the damning deed and defeated his arnbi- I tious schemes, while bis arm was yet ' outstretched for tdcoatorial honors. He | is now about to cover up his infamy by wearing tbe mantle of tbe incorruptible I Lumpkin, who as Chief Justice, seem ed the fountain from which its pure streams originated. He hopes that wrapped in the spotlers ermine of Jus tice the people will forget the corrup tion which it covers. Vain hope ! He CLDnot escape from himself; and the presonce of that Justice whose he 1 desecrates will he bis constant ao nser. Promethius, because be stole fire from Heaven, was chained to tbe cold Caucasian rock, the vulture piercing its vitals, the liuks of the lame Lomnian festering in bis flesh, but upoti tbis mao who has stoleu the banors of the State, would I yet fix a yet darker doom. I would hind bim to the soil which he has betrayed, and deny him the ref uge of Us should not fly hence toother climes, and among other people forget his misdeeds, llis curse should be to iivo among the people whom he has deceived. I would bind him here among the witnesses to bis in famy. The w dows whom be has be trayid—(he orphans whose ancestors he has dishonored, should miet him in his daili walks, quicken bis fading memory and point him out with scorn and loath ing to the thousands yet unborn. The graves of our noble dead should be bis silent accusers, and on each anniversary of the surrender, I would hare him wan der alone, apait from all others, in our Confederate cemeteiios, among the dead whoso memory ho attempted to dishon or, and see “Beautiful feet, with niaideulv tr«»d, Ofleuugs bring to the gsllaot dead.” I would have.oi trace the tear of beaty as it falls and freshens tbe fl >ral offering on tbe soldiers’ grave, and fe-1 . that, by all theso weeping and sympa thizing hearts, he alono, wrtnpcd in the •oliiude of bis infamy, stood apart, load ed with infamy, condemned anddispised. The curec that I would Ecar upon bis heart attd brand upon bis brow, would he that he might live--that be should find do Lethe to bless him wiob forgetfulness— that as bis life ebbed, his memory might quickeD, and that he should be litfked forever with bis accus ing con ; cicnee. Lot him feel wbat be is; and what he will be, and let him remember what be might have been. It fate has a punish ment worse than this for the man wbo sacrificed country for ambition, then let that fate be bis. wise man will never rust out. As long as ho can move or breathe, he will be doing something for his neighbor or for posterity. Al most to tho last hear of his lif', Wash ington was at work. So were Frank linn, and Adams, and Young, and Howard, and Newton. Tbe vigor of their lives never decayed. No rust marred their spirits. It is a foolish idea to suppose we must lie down and die, because we are old. Who is old ? Not the man of energy; nor tbe day laborer in science, an, or benevolence; but he, only, who sutlers his energies to waste away, and the springs of life to become motionless; on whoso band the hours drag heavily, and to whom all things wear the garb of gloom Thera are scores of grey-headed men we should prefer in any importaot en terpiise, to those young gentlemen who feai and tremble at approaching shadows, and turn | ale at a lion in their path, a harsh word or a frown.
