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.

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

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.

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

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.
