The groat \rork of organizing the j Legislature of Georgia is announced complete, fiTjd the fact Uns been cotn niunicated to Ws Honor, the Governor, by a Cxinimittve appointed for the pur pise. A few the usands are now to be expanded, in deciding whore “Cuffee shall sit,” brushing up desks, propar ingydationnry, &<•., ard what then?— We answer the enforcing by a fraudu lent vote or tho bayonet, the Great XVth amendment. That having been jn'oomjdished, wo shall not attempt to say whither tho tide of Radicalism will diift us. The rights reserved by the very words of the Constitution to tho organized States of tho Union, have been disregarded so often and so long—the evils which the framers of that«grcnt document so much dreaded, and fought so hard to avoid have been so fully realized in this Nineteenth Cent dry, that we arc led to exclaim, enn any thing good come out of the workings of those despoilers of that sacred instrument of writing. Rut, to despair of the situation, would show a weakness unbecoming the proud Southron. And while we may predict one tiling as being the fi nal result, and someone else suggest something else they are all but the opinions of erring men, and time will at last have to develop the seeds of corruption that have been and are dai ly being sown in our Legislative halls Is,tli State and National. The Ultra Radicals are largely in the ascending, but we delight to know that as they go on destroying and to destroy, there are a few good men who contest the ground, and if our overthrow should be final and lasting, it will be pleasant to hgve on record the deeds of such men as the author of the subjoined extract. We allude to Hon. James Reck, of Kentucky, in his memorable speech on the Georgia situation, in the House of Representatives the 20th ol December, 1 Still. I toll this House, and time will ver ify the statement I am about to make, that the States of the Union never will admit that a constitutional amend ment adopted by force, as this avow edly will be if adopted by this Legis lature of Georgia under the order ol Congress, is to be regarded as valid by them. You might just as well rat ify that fifteenth amendment for Geor gia in this Hall a, to order her to do it or say that she shall be held by the throat until she does do it. Congress has a right to prtipose constitutional amendments ; this is all it lias the right to do with reference to such amend ments. The States ot the Inion through their Legislatures must de cide without force, w nit out fraud, without coercion, without dur»-.,5, whether they will ratify or reject such proposed amendments. And does any man in this H< u e pretend that the legislature of Georgia under a bili like this is free to ratify or reject so that her action shall bind the State ot New York, or Ohio, or Pennsylvania Y The President of the l nited States under the Constitution has a light to recommend to Congress the passage of such measures as he may deem ex- podient. He frequently does so; he has done so in his late annual message. But after such recommendations are made Congress determines whether it will adopt them or net as it pleases.— Suppose, sir, for the sake of illustra tion, that ho had sent us a recommend ation that we should pass a bill giv ing him an annual salary of 6100,000, and that his chief of staff or Secretary had come to the door of the House and said, "(jrentlemen, I am instruct ed hy the President to say to you that he has thrown a regiment of soldiers around this House, and while you have a right to pass this bill or not just as you please, you shall never leave this Hull, you shall neither eat nor drink, until this bill is passed.”— Suppose under that species of coercion this House had passed a bill granting him §IOO,OOO salary, what would it have been worth ; would any man in tills House have regarded it as bind ing anv longer than till the duress was removed ? Os course not Yet where in does that differ from the proposi tion now made with regard to Geor gia ? You propose to say that unless Georgia shall ratify this amendment she shall .not have a single right in this Union; that she shall not have representation o»’ this floor ; that she shall be taxed; sire' shall be plunder ed ; the writ of habeas corpus shall be suspended ; her people shall not be en titled te trial by jury in the civil courts of the country. And that force and coercion equally great as it would be for the President of the United States to throw an armed force round this Hall and starve this House into sub mission to any order he might give ? I believe—indeed I hope—that the great States of New York, Pennsylva nia, and Ohio, the great central belt upon which we must rely because of find their position, will, if jed ujmjii them n and duress South, refuse •oustitutions in Late from this y will appeal to ntiy to sustain ,t never did re- | three-fourths of | es. I believe i the country that in Unit position. 11l 1.. In our last issue we gave tho pro ceedings of that body as far as they had progressed—-’viz : tho completion of the work of qualifying tho mem hoi's eleet. Roth blouses stood ad journed for neor’y a week awaiting tho decision of the Military Commis sioners appointed to try those members who's© eligibility had been questioned. 1 k ieveral of tho number arraigned j stood a fair examination and were re instated ; others, it was ascertained, had acted traitorously with Uncle Sam, and were expelled. The follow ing named were the unfortunates who could not subscribe to tho all-impor tant oath : R. A. Donaldson, of Gor don ; E. M. Taliaferro, of Fulton, and J. H. Nunn, of Glascock counties. The investigation having ended, Gen. Terry issued an order to that effect which was read to the Legislature; in his order to the General Assembly was embodied the names of those who had been accused, who should and who should not partake in tho delibe rations. That portion of the game having ended iu favor of the Bullock faction, the hammer fell, apd silence reigned while tho announcement was made that an election for Speaker was in onion. There were two candidates for the position, and tho result of tho election gave R. L. McWhorter, rep resentative of the Bullockites, 75, against 53 for Bryant the representa tive of the Conservatives. Thus ends all that has been accomplished since the meeting of thut body. \\ rang ling and quarreling seems to be the order of the day, and in one instance resulted in blows, to the severe injury of Mr. Bryant, ut the hands of one Tweedy. Should anything transpire in future that will interest our readers, wo will give a general summary of the same in the Joi ux.vL. George D. Prentice. The subject of this name, whose writings were so familiar to every read er of American Literaturu, is no more. W ere we to say that his opinions up on political questions were sought af ter with as much eagerness, as any one who figured in the political arena we do not think we would chronicle a false statement. Asa wit and logi cian, the thousands of articles and paragraphs bearing his signature, give evidence of deserved fame. We copy from the Courier Journal the following paragraphs relative to the closing scene of his life : When l)r. Benson reached Mr. Prentice’s bedside evening before last he iound that his patient was rapidly sinking. Ho was yet conscious, and remained so up to tho moment of his death. One ot Mr. Prentice’s earliest literary productions was a story called, we believe, “The Maniac of the Lake,” au extract from which has been mak ing the annual rounds of the press for the last thirty years. A few days ago Mrs. Dr. Benson,' who took a deep in terest in the spiritual welfare of Mr. Prentice, clipped the extract from a newspaper, and requested flei’ hus band to ask Mr. Prentice to read it.— The following is tho extract: It cannot bo that this earth is man’s only abiding place. It cannot be that our lite is a bubble cast up by eternity to float a moment upon its waves, and sink in nothingness. Else why is it the high aud glorious aspirations which leap like angels from the tem ple of our hearts are forever wander ing unsatisfied ? Why is it that the rainbow and the clouds come over us with a beauty that is not of earth, and then pass ulf and leave us to muse ou their loveliness ? Why is it that the stars which hold tlieir festival around the midnight throne are set above the grasp of our limited facul ties, forever mocking us with their unapproachable glory 'i And, finally, why is it that bright forms of human beauty are presented to our views and taken from us, leaving a thous and streams of our affections to flow back in au Alpine torrent upon our hearts '( We are born for a higher destiny than that of earth. There is a realm where the rainbow never fades ; where the stars are spread out before us like islands that slumber on the ocean, and where the Le.iutilul be ings which pass before us, like shad ows, will stay forever in our presence. liming the night the Hoc tor asked Mr. Prentice if he would read the ex- tract. He replied that he was no longer able to read. “Shall I read it for you f asked the Hoctor. “Yes, yes,” was the reply. The beautiful words were read, but their dying au thor was too near the other world to appreciate fully their significance.— He muttered a few sentences, with his falling eyes turned heaveuward, but the sounds were too indistinct to be .intelligible. In the meantime two of Mr. Prentice’s best and most beloved friends, Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Griffin, the poetess, to whom the last poem he ever wrote was addressed. She was much devoted to him, aud he ever spoke of her in the most affectionate terms, always her “Alice.”- She approached, and, leaning over liis pillow a short time before he breathed | his last, asked him, “Ho you know | me?” “Yes,” said he, “It is Jose- i phine.” “No,” said Mrs. Griffin, “It is Alice.” “Yes, yes, I know you now,” said he, alter which he spoke few intelligible words. For the last hour he made no effort to converse with those around him. To the ques tions that were addressed to him he merely answered yes or no. IBs last intelligible words uttered some two hours beloru his uealh were, “I would like to kuow—” Ho was conscious almost, or quite, to the last moment of his life. He was troubled with a difficulty in breath ing but suffered no pain. His death was as calm and serene as the fulling asleep of an infant—a slight twitching of the muscles of tho face at the final moment, and that was all. Ciriwii Line Excursion. Our Savannah exchanges give an elaborate account of the doings of the excursionists, as well os that of the city authorities during their stay, in Savannah. In visiting Ft. Pulaski, tine Col. Eggelston could not refrain from uttering sentiments foreign to the occasion, yet characteristic of tho party wo supposo him to be a member of. lie spoke of tho flag and said, “As long as we of the South follow tho old flag Ohio will be with us; leave the flag und Ohio will leavo you.” At tho close of his speech three cheers were given for Savannah. We copy from the Savannah Republican, ex tracts from a speech made by Mr. L. - D. Moore of the Nashville delegation. Tennessee greets you at the distance of five hundred miles, and extends her material hands in blessing upon this general union. My colleagues and I have left the plains of Tennesse, and ! as we passed our majestic hills I heard a voice from the mountains say, Go on, my sons, to the sea ! I heard a voice from the hills say, Go, my sons, and greet your brethren of thedSouth ! and the voice said, Snows have fallen on our summits for countless ages and with the summer’s sun have vanquish ed away ! the snow has fallen on my summit—has melted into streams and the rivers have carried them to the sea ! But the snows are all that have been carried to the sea, for our bosoms are groaning with a royal weight of mineral wealth and excellence, and our plains have teemed with the luxu rious vegitation which wo have found uo means to consume, and now ye are gone to tell our brethren of the South to come reap the harvest which is pre pared for them. The past, with all its weight of sad and mournful recol lections, has been buried down down, deep in unfathomable depth, and curs ed he the sacrilegious hand which drags them to the light of day again. We now stand, brethren of the North and South, a common brotherhood— a common people—a great nation with a common heart, which beats with a common throb. Gentlemen of Ohio, heretofore an impassable barrier has stood between you and us. Now it has been a river of water, now a river of blood —while brothers’ hate, over which brothers should have grieved, and caused us who are brothers to forget for a time a brother’s natural love. But the hand of God has dammed up forever the stream of prejudice and hate, while the rivers of water, which are our common inheritance, flow grandly as ever to the sea. As to the burrier of which 1 speak, raised no matter how, no matter why, by the providence of God ;t has been swept away and swept away forever. We know you have noble hearts, you know you have skillful hands, and, oh ! why should not our hearts and hands he joined as we march on our common road to our common destiny ? 1 am sorry that any allusion should have beeu made to that ting, or this people in distinc tion to that; hut what does this occa sion mean except that here we have no flag hut the Hag of commerce, and no peopio hut a common people who, hand in hand, are wording out a groat and glorious destiny ? Gentlemen of Kentucky, to you do I not'd to say that Kentucky and Tenn essee do stand, and have ever stood, as sisters siifi? by side ? The same majestic heights on which we love to look, look down also upon you. The same rivers which wash your borders but leave you to kiss into fertile beau ty the teeming plains of our own be loved State. Across these rivers your brethren of Oltio have erected natural bridges, and why may you not also erect a better and a spiritual bridge ? And as for Tennessee, I know I can say I bear the heart of my State in my hand for who ever will receive it.— The past is gone. The present is here, in some of its aspects sad aud mourn ful enough. But the future—the fu ture ! —is all that we see; aud with Ohio and Kentucky, Tennessee and Georgia united iu a common bond, who shall tell what our future will be ? No devastated plains, no enfeebled towns, no wasted homes, no poverty, no suffering, no grief—but granaries swelling with the riches of our fertile plains, and cities with the hum of busy life—a noble country, a mighty peo ple with a common interest and a common God. 1 would again thank the citizens of Savannah for their generous favor aud genial welcome. Our first step into Georgia was greeted with a warm and kindly welcome, and the welcome has been continued to the end ; and I can not but ask if we shall send you our products to feed you, and you in re turn shall send yours to clothe us— while there is not a heart beneath the clothing but beats in love towards you, what power on earth can then prevent our being a great aud happy people ? Gentlemen, I am about to close, and shall never probably address you , again, and if I could but thiuk that my lowly words had entered one heart 1 to remove the lingering remnant of I sectional bitterness and discord, oh, how proud I should be of my own | humble service. But I know that the | seed is in you, and time will bring it i 1 forth ; and as I look upon the sky ■ above me, where God has set His glit-1 tering signet upon this our happy un- 1 ion, 1 am reminded of the future when no clouds shall dampen that sky, j which the smoke of the conflict has j gathered there, but only those which have ascended from a happy earth, 1 and the hearth stone of a happy peo ple.
