glatuson Journal I. H. H’KSTOIf, Editor. u u irso.r, Ihuredety January 13, 1870 !)&• Reading mailer on every pege.HH Georgia Legislature. Thin honorable body met at the C»p ital, ia Atlanta, mi Monday the 10th inst, and nor readers need but refer to to a description of its organization and proceedings in our columns this week to conclude, with os, that the entire me nagerie was a grand and, owing to what radicalism made it, disgraceful farce.— Democracy here, as else where, main tains its dignity and allows the low, groveling, captious and splenetic charao ter* who represent the radical gang to do their own quarreling and fight their owa fights. Reports show considerable dissention in Republican ranks—broth er has taken np arms against brother and friend agaiast fr end, in consequence of two *f its leaders have become conservative, If not entirely democratic Most of the negroes, formerly eleotedt have appeared, taken the necessary oath and their seats, as law-makers for the •ommonwealth of Georgia; and are new ready to shake their wooly heads in op position to anything tending to good Government, and to nod them ia assent to the damnable programme of Bullock and Blodgett. Truly a few years have brought about changes for our State, the bare mention «f which would, in better and purer days- have been scorned and derided. "Oh f JuwtW, thou art fled to bratinh boasts, men bare lost their reason,” We have, however, s glimmering rsy of hope, far shining through the sable halo which ciroumrcribes the ebony vjs ■age of ,‘de cullud gemmen" we see such brilliant luminaries as Scott, and Chandler, whose voices are ever raised dor white supremacy and whose hands are evsr ready to defend the dearest an best rights of Georgia’s sons. With auch men as these to stand at the helm, the tottering old ship reels on the waves of political adversity we may yet hope. W r hat onr Legislature will do in the great'questions of the day, we dare noi nay ; What they should do we dare not advise. We have men there wise and good enough to see and do the right, to them we shall look and upon them me shall lean. Let ns wait, watob, hope and jprav. W7»y IHe Disabilities' ot feoutli era Men are not Removed. People must Dot misunderstand the motives of Congress in refusing to grant a general amnesty, and prefer ring to pass bills every now and tbeu giving pardons to specially Barned indi viduals. This coarse is pursued for a purpose baser and more vile than mere politics. Not alone that they are thus enabled to drum np reeruits for the Re publican party in the South by exolud iog all who lean to tbe Democratic par ty from the privilege of amnesty. The chief object is to keep open the door for e rruption and bribery. A general amnesty would yield do money ; indi vidual amnesties can be, and often are, made a source of revenue to the men who deal them out. I cannot say po-i --tively that any member of Congress has been paid directly for securing the insertion of a name in an cmnr>ty bill, but I can say that persons have paid as high as one hundred dollars for that privilege. The money is paid to the influential friends of radical members •f the Reconstruction Committee, and 1 take it that this state of affairs is not entirely unknown to those members. Men come here from tbe South to get their disabilities temoved. They want to be eligible to office of some kind. They sre very Boon directed to someone who can have their names inserted in the next bill, and for this insertion they ere willing to pay liberally. Their money is taken—nor do I believe it all goes into the pockets of tbe men who first receive it. These are facts of which every member of Congress is aware. Time was when the mere sus {ticion of this truth would have called or a searching investigation. But cor ruption stalks so shamelessly abroad, and so permeates every department of tbe government new—from tbe Execu tive who sella his Cabinet positions to she highest bidder, to the bureau chiefs, who extort dollar donations from tbe starving clerks under them—that it is dangerous to start sn inquiry, beeause it is impossible to tell where it will stop or to what it will lead. Ooe of these days people will take up to the fact that greater crimes may be committed against a nation by thieves disguised in the liv ery of loyalty than by brave men wear ing openly the uniform of rebellion.— imik’t Letter to the Cincinnati Enqui rer.

[Up to the hour of going to press tbe Senate had not adjourned.—Ed ] HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Monday, Jan 10, 1870 The House was called to order at the hopr of 12 o'clock by A L Har ris (of Ohio), as Clerk, pro tern., by vir tue ol G v. Bullock’s preclutnalii.n. Prayer by Rev. Mr.— Said Harris, containing in his capa cious sell, the offices of Supervisor arid Master of Trans ortution of tbe State Road, as well as Clerk and Chairman of the House, und swelling therewith almost to bursting, announced the proc laniHtion of tbe Governor world be read. YV hereupon, a negro, on« TJ’ Baird, member from Richmond coun ty, proceeded to read that document This paper finished the farce proceed ed and the said Clerk, etc , dirocteo tne said Baird to read the order of tin ‘ Piovisionui Governor,’’regulating tin organization of the House Then by the same parties to tho drama, the “election order’’ erder o f Geuerai Meade, dated June 23, 1868 Again fell the bummer of the Hugi dommetliac. und he ordered the call ing of the Roil of Members. Mr. Fcotl, oi Fioyd, rso to ask his linportancy a question lor inform lion, it was, ‘will the members take the oeth to support the Constitution oi Georgia.” Caldwell, of Troupe, called Mr. Hcotl to order, and Harris ruled that ticott was out of order. Bcott then asked if be would be al lowed to enter his prote.-t then, or aw..<it the organization of the House. kl arris said no protest would uow be allowed. The name ol Isham Radish, of Ap pling, was tiien called, and be came lorward to take the oatn. Here a huge Sainbo desired to as sert tbat the bottom rail was on top, but Harris said the gentleman must come to order, as no motion would be entertained b; the Chair (?) until mem bers were qualified. Judge Black, U 8. Commirsioner, appeared now upon the scene. Scott, of Floyd, arose to ask if tbe Chair would entertain an ob jection to members coming forward to qualify, on the ground ot their remov al from tbe State, acceptance of other office, etc. The 4Jhair, not being post ed by bis /ing master, Blodgett, ou that pointj resorted to a silent tongue, and said be would not answer the ques tion. P M Sheibly then read tbe oath to Radish, and he was qualified. Air. George, of Baker, was called, but did not appear. Peter O’Neal, (colored) of Baldwin, was qualified. HARRIS ASSERTS 1113 DIGNITY. C C Duncan, of Houston suggested ] the ptropi iety of qualifying several at ! a time. Harris tartly replied,‘-The Cnuir will attend to the organization J of the House. A pro'est by P« ter O'Neal was of fered against the qualification of Hud ish, and it wus read by Biird Belie of Henke, upon his qualifica tion, asked for u leading of the enn etiuotion of the Georgia Jill by the General Commanding Whereupon Baird commenced to read those long documents, when Mr. Bryant, of Richmond, objected to it Hajri* called him to order, imd Brynni declared tqat Harris bad no authority to fie where be was. Barrie ordered the Sergeant-at-arms io arrest Bryant. Great excitement. Brynnt refused to be arrested, and de (dared that this was an attempt to in timidate members. Hinton and Blodgett’s son were the parties attempting to arrest Bryunt, A negro near by drew a pistol on Bryant. Alter several excited harangues among the Radicals, Pricp, of Lump kin appeulod to the Democrats to keep quiet. Order wns restored at length, Bry ant quieted down, pule with rage, and nursing wrath against tbe other fact toll el the party. Oh, degenerate days ! Oh, lost lib •rty ! When cornfield niggers and importeo scalawags thus disgrace the balls of Georgia legislation, where Troup and Toombs and Stephens have lent the powers of their genius to give prestige to this great Commonwealth. The proclamation was then read, and the name of Thomas Paula was called, and he was qualified. O’Neal then made another protest, and amid much luughier withdrew it. TEllKlf 1.8 BOW AMONG TUX RADICALS. Bryant then, despite the huge Har ris, arose, and addressing the House, nominated J H Caldwell as cbuiiman of the meeting. This mot ou was carried with im mense applause. Bryant then took Caldwtll by the arm, and started with him fothe chair. Up rushed Hinton and Blodgett s sod, and Bryunt stt>, pied buck. Caldwell went on a space, but bis knees failed him, and the sight of Hams’ corpu lency sourced him off. Scott, of Floyd, then nominated J E Bryant, of Richmond, as Chairman pro tern. This was carried, and Bry aut, momitiog a chair, (for Harris and his coadjutors kept him off tbe Speak ■ ex's stand,) and a motion to adjourn to 10, a. m., to morrow was made and car ried, and Bryant declared the House ad jovri ed. lie then appointed J H Cald well, Dunlap Soclt, and Osgood, of Chatham to wait upon Terry. Biyant thou request'd tbe members not to g<> away uutil Gen. Terry could be beard from. Harris, clinging to bis tabula in rum jragium, tbeu directed bis right band nigger, Biird, to proceed with the roil. The Democrats, vigilant and watch ful. kept cool on their side of the House Gen. Young was seen pass g aroud among tbo Democrats assisting them with his counsels. 11. M. T urner,(colored), J. Fi‘z patru-k, and J.E.J. Franks, of Bibb, were then quohtied under the Harris regime. Then YV M. Hall, of Bulloek, M. Claiborne,(colored), of Burke, came for ward, and, being unaccustomed to the sacred writing, instructed bow to swear by that Holy B.i< k. Then Johh YV'arren, (colored), of Burke, John A Madden did’nt appear Then T M Ilarkncss, of Butts. Pro rest against him by Peter O’Neal, the great luminary of the Bullock factian. Then A 8 Fowler, of Catoosa. Tbe committee returned aud reported that Gen ral Terry refused to have any thing to do with It. Both houses are still in session, but we close this report in time for (be ev ening pap, r. Ri maiuder will apqiear in the morning. • * * * * * * Tbe above embodies everything re ported for the “evening edi'iou” of the Constitution of the 10th From the «me paper of the lltb, we learn tbat after a great deal of excitement and con fusion, the work of administering the oath was completed in tho Benate, and Mr. Mills, Pnsdiut pro tern , stated thvt an election for Ibesideut of the del ate was in order, ami alter balloting and counting the votes, Ben Cooley whs announced as the chosen one to preside over that body, having r t ceivcd gg to 11 for Wootin In the house, A l, Harris still pre sides as Speaker pro tern , aod amidst confusion and wrangling they are de cidiog who are qualified and who are not. We are not yet advised of tbe number of the ‘•black-balled,” but will give them in our next. There are cer tainly evil elements at work ia the Rad ical ranks—there is evidently two wings to tbe so-called party, and when tbe the election for permanent speaker comes off, we predict a general “blow up” which will result in good to the Democratic party. 115460. No one w’ll ever be able to recur to the yearlß69 without a reflection that it is a very remarkable oae with regard to the' number of eminent men whose deaths it reoords During the year ten American gentle men who have bold the distinguibed of fice of Cabinet ministers have pa aed away. Three had been {"Secretaries of War, M' s-rs. Stanton, R wl ns, and J ibn Bell; three Secretaries of the Trea sury, Messrs. FessendeD, Walker, and Guthrie ; two, Messrs. Kendall and Wiolkliffe, Postmaster Generals ; two, Alessrs. Stanton and Bates, A’torney Generals; and Hou. I-a iP Touoey bad been Secretary of the Navy. j The list of deceased Sei.a’ors is smaller i than that of Cabinet minister, o >m l prising but six. Messrs Fe-senden, Bod, j Pierce, Walker, Fitzpatri. k,*nd Toucey Other eminent Am>ric.n statrsnea who have recently died are Hons. John Minor Butts and James T. Brady. Amoog literary Americans the most sensible lessons are Henry J Raymond Dr Rush, George Folsoon, Prof Cleve land, Captain Henry A. Wise, and J R B mack. While death has been thus busy at borne, the number of eminent Euro peans who have died within the year is also great.

Cuban Affair'. On Monday morning, tbo 3rd ult, the Annie, a low, dark steamer, came into out harbor and attracted but little attention. She reported that she bud bceu driven in by a stress of weather, and desirid to coal before procediig on her voyage to Nassau. This was easily accomplished, and tbe Annie was fully prepared to leave the next day.wheu Captain Somers, the commanding offi cer, applied to the Custom House lor a clearance. He was told that tbsro would be no difficulty, but later in tbe da; Collector Clark sent for tbe Captain aud demanded bis [ ap. rs Ou repair ing to tbe Custom House he found the C‘Hector aud the Spanish Consul. '1 be firmer said that be would be compelled to detain the vessel for a breach of tbe neutrality laws. The Captein sgain protested against this detention, snd showed hisc • ranee J from New York signed and attesied by i tbe Collector aud Uoited States M»r- j shal. Collector Clark said that they I did not know tbeir bn-iness or they would not have given a cl arai c . The Spanish Consul had made a complaint and he was bound to respect. Capt. Somers finding it difficult to obtain his papers, left. . The Harbor Master, with Lieutenant L. M. Keene, of the Revenue Cu'ter, examined the Annie thoroughly the j same afternoon, aod reported that every | thing w&9 right and she could not be held. C'dlector Clark, on bearing this statement, aecided that he could not detain the ves-el, but fine her SSOO for i Dot baviug a “synopsis” and for carry- j ieg more passengers than her tonnage allowed, (72 tons, new measurement.) i The Capiaia was told that the vesifi would be released on the payment of this fine, and he was about to meet the demand, when he learned that the An nie had been scizd by the United States Marshal. This officer immedi ately put four deputies on board, and told the passengers that they must leave the boat aud seek for lodgings else where. There was not much time granted, aud in a few moments baggage was packed, and twenty-eight Cubans, headed by Col. W. O. Ryan, well known as an ardent Cuban sympathiser, pioceeded to the Pavilion Hotel. Rooms were assigned them, and they are now awaiting the release of their ertft, < Col Ryan, who is the leader of the little party, is a young man of sharp features, long hair, and a general ap pearance of cool daring, bordering on mere recklessness. Among the party are several Cubans of note, who de si r>d to return to tbe Ever Faithful Is'e via Nassau. O. Cespedes, a son of the CubaD President, and Francis I. Cisneros, a brother of the Vice Presi dent of (he Junta, are of tbe number. Very few of the passengers can speak Engl-sh, and they all look like men of culture and refinement. Fiom a conversation wi'h the party we learn (bat the Annie left her d' ck at YVilliamsburg, N w Y"tk, on VVedncsday, December 29th, at half past ten a.m. The United Stales Mar shal and revenue officer examined the vessel carefully and gave her proper clearance papers, staying od board until its ropes were cut loose Three el the crow left an hour after s.iling. While rounding Cape Haiteras, on Saturday, the Annie encountered a terrible storm tbat drove her out of her course, and for furty hours no distanoc was mide. As the coal was <x austed, it was determined to make the near l s port to obtain a supply, and Charleston w ■ sighted about three p.m. ou Sat urday. In the different searches that have been made on board tbe ABnie since her arrival, it bectme evident that there was no armanent of any character con cealed, and as the case has been placed in tbe hands of Messrs. Simonton and Barker for prosecution, it may be heard at an early day, and the vessel released. Each of ibe twenty-eight Cubans have a receipt for twenty-eight dollars paid as passage money, aod the whole bearing of tbe case shows that the detention of the boat is of question ablt legality. The Annie is now lying at the Gov ernment wharf under tbe surveilaDce ot the United States Marshal. Why thb South Failed.— I That those who agree with them are wise men, is the opinion of some people we have either seen or read of. We have at least that reason for holding that Ed win M. Stanton was a wise man. Ac cording to Dun Piatt, he said nearly a year before General Lee’s surrender : ‘The rebels have saved us. Instead of a quiefe, fieroe, progressive war, they have acted od tie defensive, and put to issue the material resources of the two sections. They are failing, through ex haustion, and I will uow crowd ou men until I smother them out.’ How true. After the battle of Ma nassas the Federal Gove nment had not an army that would have stood a mo ment before ours. The whole North was open to us. Pi nnsylvania, New York, even Massachusetts. Nothing stopped us but ignorance of the art ot war. There were no armies to do i . Tbe only army Mr. Lincoln bad was about Washington City. There was not half as much to prevent Beaure gard from marohing from Manassas to New York as four years later stood in iSbermau’s say wbfD he marohed from Atlanta to Savannah. And to think that that grand soldier, Stonewall Jack son, wanted to march upon Baltimore and lake possession of Maryland (as he could easily have done), at the time of the riot of the 19:h of April, aod wa not permitted to do it. Jackson was a bom Boldier. The move would have changed the entire aspeot of affairs. But such speculations are foolish (hey are of ‘such stuff as dreams are made of.’ Perhaps ’twas best our ruh-rs knew not their business. —Richmond Dispatch Some of the merchant* of Augusta are accused of perjury in making their quarterly returns of sales. New Turk ami Georgia. In Gov. Hoffman’s annual message, delivered the 4th iustant, he has the following upon Federal rcla'ions : I protest against the revolutionary course of Coogreas, with reference to amendments of the Got stitution of tbe United States, by whioh, among tbeir other efforts at centralization, they seek •he absolute control of elections in tbe States. Powerless themselves to amend it by direct act, and unable to procure tbe voluntary cnismt of three fourths of tbe States, they force the consent cf the Southern States as a condition to representation, and thus override and nullify the will of others, whose proper relations to the govern ment have interrupted, and whom they cannot constrain. I protest against the action of both Congress and the President of the Uui fed States in subjecting the people of Georgia anew to military power, their State Government being in full npeia tion, and the n storatien of their cons i rational relations with the Federal Government having been recognized by the Federal authorities as complete. I protest against the looger exclusion from representation of any of the Stites; if any one be excluded, tbe rights of all are unsettled, aud the har weuy of our government is destioyed. Combining Business aud Pleas ure. A Florida correspondent of the ; Richmond Dispaich gives some queer revelations of Northern invalid life ! (and death) down there. The follow ; ing story will suffice what a practical [ “cuss” tfcut chap was, to he sure? There was one fellow who died in Palatka a short time before my visit, of whom I heard from many sources. When he found his end approaching ! he sent North for a metallic coffin, and i had it brought into his bed room; tri ! ed it, and found it would fit him exact ly. Fe was thereupon very much sal isfiedf; and during the few remaining days of his lile always spoke of him self as dead. He requested his wile i to hnd out whether she could send it by express She dutifully inquired, ar.d found that they could not cariy it He then told her to have a box made, and biive it made large ; to put it in it; and as there was pleniy <4 room to pack in seme sweet potatoes and or anges for the children; and 'be wry careful, my dear, not to let them turn it over, lest the oranges should be mashed.” So this careful, economical father d : ed, and his wife carried out his wishes, snd very carefully carried it home to Vermont; and the children enjoyed the potatoes and oranges, and w ished their dear father would go and die in Florida every winter.
