The Provisional Legislature has j been in sessiou ten days, discussing { what should be done—what wero i their powers. Hare passed resolution i to pay expelled negro members; also, recommended the Appropriation bill of 18G9, except the 22d section, which emotion gave to the Governor power to draw on the Treasurer for necessa ry funds to carry on the Government; they also refnsed to seat new members elected to fill vacancies caused by death. TV» State Hoad is receiving some fdtenfipn ; a committee will probably be appointed to look into its manage ment, and Mr. Hungerford wants all employees of the Road, who are raera bors of the Legislature, or any ono else related to them, (blood kin,) to be discharged. It is thought the body will adjourn to-day. l'rewCoiirentieii nf Karannnli On the 2.lth ult. the State Tress j Association met at Bavannah, and por- 1 feeted an organisation by adopting a i Constitution and By-Laws which, if j adhered to, will be of benefit, not only j to the Press, but to the State at largo. : j Thero was not a full attendance, but when the Constitution is submitted to the Proprietors and Editors not pres ent, we do not doubt but that nearly all will be willing to enlist under its provisions, ami give their aid and in influence to placo the Press of Geor gia on a higher scale, in every respect, and to throw around the Association such guards as will be of lasting ben efit to tho fraternity. The city of Savannah, through lioi Chamber of Commerce, appreciating our efforts, extended to us the hospi talities es tho city, and expressed an endorsement of, and wish, that we might succeed in our undertaking. Asa Georgian, we aro proud of Savannah. Asa Southern man, we are glad to know that she is fast tak ing her position as the first city of tho South. The city has improved much since 1865, and tho word is still on ward, and now there is but one soa port South that can boast of a larger cotton business, and in a short time the jobbing trade will equal that of any. We have never been among a more social and liberal people than are the people of Savannah, and will not attempt to pnt cm paper the many kindnesses received at their hands. Through the different committees ap pointed we were provided with trans portation to visit Fort Pulaski; Laurel Grove, and Bonna Venture Cemete ries ; Thunderbolt, Bethesda and the Isle of Hope; also, different places of interest in the city. We attended the decorating of tiro graves of the Confederate Dead, on the 2Gth, and was impressed with tho solemn, yet pleasing manner which characterized the labors es the day, and trust that these yearly tributes to the memory of those who battled for the lost cause, may ever be hailed with sacred delight, not only in Sa vannah, but all over our Southern land ; thus transmitting our devotion for tho noble dead, from generation to generation. A grand dinner at the Pulaski House, closed the ceremonieson the part of Savannah. Wo have never been present on an occasion where was dis played more reason, more wit, and more good things of the world, and shall ever think of Savannah with the most pleasing recollections, and heartily wish that she may continue to improve until there be none to boast over her in point of enterprise, business, wealth, and talent Our Duly. The campaign which opened so vig orously, and promised such a speedy settlement of all our political difficul ties, so far as our State is concerned, has subsided, and the result of the prosecution is far different from that hoped for by the projectors of the move. And while it is true that noth ing has transpired materially affecting the powers that be, for the present,— 1 they still sway the power of the mer- 1 eiless conqueror—still, there seems to | exist an uneasiness in the ranks of P-adicalism, from East to West, and ' they are watching, as it were with eagle eyes, every opportunity for more 1 securely fastening the chains of des-! potfrm about us No one will gainsay the fact that the advocates of Constitutional liberty —*tho3e who are opposed to an im proper usurpation of power by the Congress cf tho United States are largely in the minority. We no lon ger owo allegiance to the general gov ernment because of its impartial deal ings to all its subjects, nnd because it derives it* power from the people, and is administered, a* in daya past, for tho good of all The original system of government haa boen entirely ig» nored, and we find ourselves under the rule of such men as would ‘‘sell their birth-right for a mess of potage.” Journalists North and South have presumed to give advice as to the best course to be pursued; whether wise or unwise, time will prove. Some recom mend profound silence on the part of Democrats in our National nails, and so far as our state is concerned, recom mend that they, (the Democrats,) re ttrrn tc their homes, and not attempt a farther contest with the soulless Rad icals. Could we dost oy the Constitu tion by which we are goverened, framed by and for tbe carpet-bagger and negro, and begin anew, such a course might be wisely advocated. As it is impossible, however, to separate that document from tho pure archives of State, having been placed, and is still kept there by the bayonet, we are 1 compelled to abide its provisions. We think the faithful few can, if nothing more, watch these scomers of fight and justice, and if tho good old days of honest political dealing should ever return, we can, under the banner of resurrcctedjnstice, chasj to tlioir dons, and braud with infamy forever, thoso who are seeking to destroy tho last fabric of our onco proud Republic. New England journals say, “watch | him who would seek to tax tho pro j dueer and laborer, to tho up-building : of the manufacturer and bond-holder, i and remember him at the ballot-box.” I Remember, kind sirs, that wo in Geor : gia, are differently situated from you of New England. There is no such thing as qualifying voters bore, (w ish there was,) as in Massachusots, and of the 80,000 colored voters lu Georgia, nine-tenths of them cannot 6pell their own names, much more read an Act of Congress taxing this, that or the other individual. Take a negro in Georgia that would not know a ballot box from a rat trap, and he would vote liis political ruin without being 1 conscious of it, and think, at the bamo j time, that by his action, he had se cured unto himself forty acres of land and a mulo. Tako the same negro to Massachusetts, and he could not vote at all, simply from the fact that lie could not read, and had no property on which to pay taxes. Ah, New Eng land ! To appreciate our political con dition, you must come in our midst and witnors tho evils by which we are infested. Without presuming to give advice, we merely add our opinion as to tho most speedy restoration of peace and prosperity viz: Encourage every move looking to the eroction of manu factories for the consumption of our cotton and wool; strive to offer supe rior inducements to emigrants to those offered by the North and West; teach the negro who is his true friend—that his interests are identified with ours, and not with the carpet-baggers ; hold fast to the liberties, (bestowed upon us through policy by our rulers,) that we now enjoy, earnestly contend ing for more ; and under the guidance of an Omnipotent Ruler we will, ore long, occupy a position second to none in the enjoyment of every domestic happiness. Trouble .thead. What is to bo the end of the Fif teenth Amendment ? That is a seri ous and a momentous question, and by far too profound for us to answer. That it will enter largely and excitedly into the next Presidential contest, we firmly believe. There will certainly bo resistance to it in some way, not that that resistance will take the form of opposition to tho colored people, or that uuy effort will bo made to inter fere with what now seems to be their settled rights, or that such resistance will be tantamount to a violent and | lawless opposition to the supreme au thority, but that the States cumprehen i ding the fact that their rights as such i are greatly impaired by this measure, | will inaugurate a bold movement to manufacture public sontiment against 1 it. Ono must be very obtuse if he can not already discover unmistakable signs of dissatisfaction, not only iu the Southern States, but particularly in the Northern States. We remarked the other day that Ohio was in commo tion upon the subject, and that, at Cirdeviile, a very decided spirit of op position was shown to the principle. The truth is, the Northern States had not thought much about the mat- I ter until it came home to them. Be s fore that, they presumed it was simply 1 a war measure and only applicable to | the States in rebellion. The scales j though are now falling from their eyes, I and they are beginning to see that if ( I one State can be remanded at pleasure, : so can another, and still another, uutil • | by act of Congress, the whole may be j i reduced to a territorial condition.— ! That such is the fair and legitimate : j tendency of the principle, any one j ; with a grain of sense can see. Hence j iin view of the prodigious difficulty, ! the Northern States, at least some of, them, are, at the threshold, flinching ; and wincing under the influence of j the scheme in question. How it will l end we do not pretend to say.— Knox- 1 tille Whig. The South Georgia and Florida railroad is rapidly approaching com pletion. , An excursion train will run from East Albany to Thomasvill© this week. . The Rlrlmoud Disaster. I The 26th of December, 1811, was long I remembered in Rich mend, because that dato was rendered memorable, even to the present era, by the burn ing of the Richmond theatre, which occupied the site on which the “Mi n umental Church” now stands. Over one hundred ladies and gentlemen, in cluding tho Governor of Virginia, per ished in the flames. Since that terri ble event, which occurod fifty-nine years ago, this community has not been afflicted with any calamity so S reductive of overwhelming horror, 1 esolation and grief until yesterday, i tho 27th of April, when upwards of fifty of our citizens were suddenly ush ered into eternity by an appalling ac cident at the State Capitol. More than a hundred other citizens were maimed ( or badly injured by the same dreadful disaster. Our hand falters whilst we Attempt to record the details of tho ca tastrophe. On the 16th of March last anew City Council, appointed by Governor Walker, in pursuance of the provis ions of an act of the General Assembly, known as the “enabling act,” elected Mr. H. K. Ellyson Mayor of Richmond. The constitutionality of the said act was contested by the incumbent of tho Mayoralty, Mr. George Chahoon, and ultimately the question was brought before tho Supi eme Court of Appeals, recently elected by the Legislature.— The arguments of counsel were hoard last week, and the court, as usual, re-1 served its decision. On Tuesday, it was announced that the decision would be rendered on tho following day (yes-; torday) at cloven o’clock. The solu tion of this vexed question had excit- 1 ed great interest in this community, i and at the hour designated a largo j crowd of persons assembled in the j court-room. The court-room of the Supreme Court of Appeals occupied the north eastern comer of the third floor of the Capitol, and was separated from the apartments occupied by tho Governor and his staff by a thin partition. The entrance to the court-room was from tho corridor which overlooks the Washington statuo. Accoss to the gallery was by means of a stairway commencing near this entrance. Un der this gallery was a vestibulo, with a centre door opening into tho court- room, and opposite this door, at the eastern end of the room, was a plat-1 form on which the judges sat. The room was occupied during the late war , by the Virginia Senate, the present | Senate Chamber being occupied by 1 the Confederate House of Representa tives. The apartment outside of the railing, in front of the judges, would ordinarily accommodate about two hundred. Immediately under the court-room, but extending the whole width of tho building, iu tho Hall of the House of Delegates. At 11 o’clock the court-room, vesti- J bule and gallery were all crowded with ; citizens and strangers, mostly white,! eagerly awaiting the announcement of the decision. Others were constantly j arriving, and in a very few minutes all tho avai able space was occupied. At 1 tbe reporter’s table were seated Mr. M. i I’. Handy of tho Dispatch, Dr. J oseph 1 B. Brock of the Enquirer, Mr. Ernest Wiltz of the State Journal, Mr. J. A. Pizzini of tho Whig, Mr. W. D. Cltos tenuan of the Petersburg Index, and Mr. W. C. Elam of the Petersburg Courier. About twenty-fivo members of tho bar, including the counsel in the case, were present. General Wise and R. T. Daniel, Esq., of the counsel, were not present. A cheerful good humor prevailed on all sides. Pres ently Judge W. T. Joynes entered from the “conference room,” through a side door, and made some remark to Ex-Governor Wells. He returned to the “conference room,” but in a few moments returned accompanied by Judge F. T. Anderson. They took their seats to await the arrival of then colleagues, who wero expected every rsinute from the adjoining “Confer ence room,” in which they tarried. A crack was heard as if a gun had been explodod beneath the floor ! All eyes turned towards the centre door, under the front of the gallery, from whence the sound proceeded. In an instant, the ominous and alarming sound was again heard, and simulta neously, to the horror of ull present, the floor commenced to give way, and immediately fell through to the floor below with a fearful crash, followed not only by the gallery and its weight of humanity, but the timbers overhead, to which tho ceiling of the court room was attached. We dare not attempt a description of tho fearful scene. A wail of horror, quickly followed by shrieks of suffering mortals, ascended from that abyss of agony and death. That portion of the floor on which the judges’ platform was erected did not go through with the rest, as there was comparatively but little weight upon it. Judges Joyues and Ander son escaped to the “conference room, ” and were followed by Mr. Pizzini of the Whig, and several others, who had struggled through the mass of rubbish and reached the platform. Colonel McPhail was leaning against the man tel, and clung to it until he obtained a foothold. His arm was badly injured by the plaster falling from above.— , Mr. William Taylor, grocer, of this city, grasped a window sill near him and held on until assistance came. A large number of those who went 1 ; through sustained no other injury than I a severe shock and a few bruises or cuts. It is marvellous that so many escaped death from the falling timbers and heavy plaster ceiling of the court room which must have fallen upon the crowd. A few persons were in the Square near the Capitol. Most of them com prehended at once the terrible acci dent, while others, who observed the volumes of dust pouring from the win dows, supposed that an explosion of the heating boiler in the building had taken place. Mr. W. H. Grant hastened to the bell-house on Ninth street, and at his instance the general alarm was sound ed. Tha b»U was tapped rapidly, and all within hearing of the sound were startled, knowing that something unu sual had occurred. The report spread rapidly that the Capitol was on fire, and citisens ran from all directions to wards the Square. The white dust, resembling clouds of smoke, still en veloped the northern end of tho Capi tol, und until the awful fact was real ized, the impression prevailed outside that the building was doomed to de- struction by fire. In a few miuutes after the alarm was sounded tho hook and ladder com pany arrived on the Square and imme diately set to work in elevating their ladders Other firemen followed rap idly and united with the ladder-men in attempting the rescue of those who were buried in the ruins. Many of tho citizens who hurriod to tho sceno also lent their assistance, but the ma jority seemed petrified with horror, or feared that the old building would fall in and crush all who ventured near its walls. One by ono the survivors of the crash came forth, or wore assis-1 ted to the open air, each one whitened : with plaster dust, or so disfigured by blood and dirt as to bo almost unrec ognizable. Thero were soon plenty of workors —not only firemen, but members of the Legislature and citizens generally —who went boldly and manfully into the midst of the debris, and proceeded to clear the hall of the accumulated mass of rubbish, or to bring out the i wounded and dead. A number of ! policemen soon posted themselves at the entrances to prevent too many per : sons from aiding in the work of extri | eating the sufferers. This was a judi ! cious precaution, as the crowd increas : ed every moment as the thrilling news | spread through tho city. Nearly all who entered upon the j work labored untiringly, and their he roic efforts entitle them to tho highest i praise. We forbear to particularize ! lest wo should omit the names of soruo who deserve to bo mentioned. All the surgoons and physicians in tho city were upon the ground as promptly as possible, and rendered all the aid in their power to the sufferers. The Senate Chamber was made a tem porary hospital and morgue, but most ■of the bodies of the dead and dying, ns w ell as those not seriously wounded, I were taken to the grass plots in the 1 square Carriages and other vehicles were brought into requisition, and a number of the wounded were convey- I ed at once to their homes, or to the ] hospital at the Medical college. Later advices give the list of killed and wounded which amounted to about sixty killed, and more than a hundred wounded, and numbers of the wound ed are reported as dying daily. God Help the Kirh-The Poor «-a■■ Work ! Do you know what Alaska is good for ! Do you know- what the South is good for ! Do you know what value tho South is to the natiou, under tho policy of a Republican administration 'i Are you, as a Northern taxpayer, interested in the welfare of tho coun try—in your own success ? Last year w e collected a revenue from Alaska, and for every dollar collected paid $25.50 to collect it. This gave place to several loyal men— the people paying for Alaska and pay ! ing to maintain a few agents there at so terrible a discount. How long before Alaska will pay us back her cost to us, at this rate ? Tho South is restored to us. But our Government will not allow the peoplo of the South to dwell in peace —to repair the damaged enterprises of that country. In 18G7 the South was overrun by office-holders, internal rev enue assessors, collectors, &c. Income collectors, /tc., by the score, wero sent there at big pay. And that year all those agents, in the Seventh District of North Carolina, collected three dol lars and twenty-five cents ! And that w'as all. But the loyal agents of the Model Government were paid. The people of the North helped pay them. In 18G9 this army of loyal office-holders collected from that district nine hundred and thirty-six dollars and seventy-six cents ! It only cost seventy-nine thousand dollars to collect tho last named sum —eighty-five thousand to rnako the first-named collection. Loyalty pays ! Instead of giving the people of the South peace and a chance to labor, wo keep that country as a pasture ground i for Northern office-holders, and send their rations down from the North at j Government expense i Who says loy ; alty does not pay '! — Pomeroy’s Don. K -jrgauiziuion of flic Democ racy, Immediately after the adjournment | of the legislature an effort will be made in this city to reorganize the Democratic party of New York, with a viow to working harmoniously and i effectively in city and Stato, and to j perfect the machinery of organization I to the benefit and strengthening of the Democratic party throughout the entire country. It is a noted fact that the National Democratic Committee, of which Au gustus Belmont is the Chairman, is of j no use to the party so lar as work, or- I ganizing, or giving confidence to the voters is concerned. Not in sympathy with the working Democracy of the country, with a snobbishness peculiar to a bastard aristocracy, the keeper of Democratic seals is intent only on add ing to his wealth, caring nothing for people. This inexcusable neglect and iudifferenor -as cost the perfy thou sands of voi.es. We now have no smooth-working organization extend ing from ocean to ocean. Indeed, the Fenian organization is better than ours, so far as the- securing of general results is concerned. Let us, then, meet, at an early day, for consultation, work and national victory. Let those who have the ear and confidence of the people compare notes and ideas, agreeing to noeept tho best and work for success. Let money be raised and pledged to carry on a political campaign—let this working organization he in communication with all state Democratic organizations and know who is who, what fs what, where to call for help, and where to send the samo when needed. Let working Democrats everywhere be encouruged and aided, and let us provide for the publishing and distri bution of an address to tho people, and such appeals as the best men of our party can write. Clear the decks. Let ns now pro ceed to business —to organizing for victory.— Pomeroy’s Democrat. Official Advertisments.
