Satfaftr*’? .1. €. GALLAHEII, K.llior. SATURDAY, MARCH 7, 1874. THE BUBBLE -FOR BUBBLE IT IS, HAS ACQUIRED ITS MAGNITUDE AND IS NOW ABOUT TO BURST. Woman outside of her sphere lm* never, nor nover will attain to any distinction; lmt in her sphere miracles of goisl nmy be ; nooomplialied by her influence. W e have 1 no hesitancy in saying tlmt woman in her acknowledged weakness i the special object of Divine Kyinjwithy anil regard, but in her boasted supremacy Heaven frowns, for she has no precedent from tin Orest Exemplar of moral action but for i modesty and retirement. Martha-like, a modem hostess made J great preparations for the entertainment of the Lord, but Mary modestly anointed hi* feet ud wiped them with the long tresses of her lmir, and received the bless ing as having chosen the better pnrt- Murthn for display, Mary for modest sub mission, and Mary was the honored one of Heaven’s Prince. When woman weeps in silence, Heaven utoope to pity. When woman in sorrowful submission says: “Lord, if thou had’st been hero our brother would not have died.” The modest declaration, with the evidence of faith, is a sufficient petition for a writ of h'lherM corpus from the Chancellor of the f.kies to the custodian of the dead, who surrenders his cold prisoner, and by the fiat of Omnipotence the shackles of dentil fall off, the dead revives and the brother , in renewed life embrae.es his fond sisters lignin. It was the tears and modest sup plications of woman that moved to pity ■; and tci (ears the heart of Omnipotence, and made u God to weep at, her brother's grave, lint, when woman transcended her modest sphere, she damned the world in Iter first net of diplomacy, grieved the heart of Omnipotence, and God repented tlmt lie had made man, and Heaven had to j surrender its baby Prince to sojotu-n on earth ns an exemplar and die as a martyr to restore man to the position lost by ; woman’s indiscreet negotiation*. The in D ienes of woman, either for good or evil, i potent and powerful, mill when she 1 ps within her sphere, adorned with 1, coming modesty, every act, and eveiy word will receive the stamp of Divine ap proval, and society will be benefltted. But when she utisexcs herself and assumes responsibilities assigned to man, she dis- i robes herself of her m< ilesty and loses her Influence and mans respect, and, ns it ih In conflict, with Now Testament prece dents, she loses the Divine approval. That woman has mi interest in the sup pression of intemperance, none will deny; that she has the right, and tlmt it is her duty to use her influence to accomplish that end, none will dispute; but she Ims no right to bid defiance to law and become n nnisanoo and deprive parties of their legal and vested rights. Kite lma no right to bring n reproach upon the ennso of Christianity by outrageous, impious and sac religious conduct. Great ns may ho the evils resulting from the sale and use of ardent spirits, so long , as it is authorised by law, niul dealers conform to the law. the courts arc bound to protect them in their rights, and re- ! strain nil parties who attempt to interfere with them in the prosecution of tlieir j legally authorised trade. This lma been done by one Judge in Ohio, and will be done bvall others throughout the country; henoe the bubble must burst. Woman's raids will now cease in Ohio and every where else where tho news of the Judge’s fiat goes. As soon ns woman reflects, and J the ardor of her enthusiasm begins to wane, she will see tho nbtmrdily and ridiculousness of her conduct, and with i shaincfaocdncsa return to her modest home and read her Bible and pray in se crot, and will acknowledge that nine-tenths of her tears were crocodile, mnl tho effects more of wind and dust tlmn sympathy with inebriates wives ami children. Wo repent onr advice—“go homo; give your husband a warm sapper; slug your tittle children to sloop, and thou pmy that you may never attempt again to roll your husband of his what you-enll-'ums.” * SLOAN TAXES IIIS SEAT, Ousting Morgan Rawls, whose majority is admitted to 733, upon the alleged grounds that the election in Chatham county was not fairly held. The Now York Times, the organ of the administration, and the sustainer, justitier and apologist for all tricks and corruption, says: “That it was not intended to allow a fair elec tion in Chatham county, is clear enough from the following statement of facts: All the voting precincts in the county, except in the city of Savannah, wore abolished." Admitting, for the sake of argument, that this assertion is true, can the Radical party object to it upon the ground of un fairness ? If so, who inaugurated this unfair system of holding elections in Georgia ? Under the military reign in the South, was it not ordered by t lie com mander of the department that the elec tions should be held at the Court House ru each county, to proveut frauds upon the colored voters ? And under this Radical rule were not the scalawag Governor nnd Legislature elected ? Was it legal then ? Wasn't Congressmen elected in the same way ? Were they denied seats ? Were not Senators elected by the scalawag Legislature, who was elected by the voters at single precincts in the various counties ? Why were not the illegality of the election ef those days discovered by the saintly legislators at Washington ? Because it was a Radii .’ rule an 1 a Radical victory, and never until their plans were thwarted Mid ceased t -ulmerse their evil purposes, did their own precedents become ob noxious, or the unrighteousness of their own rutin . Income manifest. Now, to make the worst of it, a Democrat bents a Radical upon a Radical plan, nnd a Radi cal Congress declares tin* election illegal and gives the sent to the defeated Radical. This, wo think, is Radical consistency. GEORGIA NEW3, > The Georgia Legislature adjourned on Friday last, SKltb lilt. An nctunl count of cotton stock in Colum bus on Friday gave 12,5 k;) bales. The raid on the bar rooms in Columbus by the women Ims proved n failure. We have received the first copy of the Trihnn e, anew weekly paper published at Tombshoro, Gn.

The people of ITinosvillo are straining themselves to prevent it. The Augusta Chronicle says that there is no object in tho vicinity of Augusta which so attracts the attention and excites the interest of strangers as tho old Con federate powder mills. We copy the following from tho Louis ville Cos n tier- Journal: Atlanta has built a gruiite Confederate monument sixty-five feet liigli for $4,000. Almost anywhere else the contractor for such a structure would have insisted upon a margin of at least four thousand dollars i stealage and wouldn’t have struck a lick l until ho got it. We shan’t be surprised to j near that, the man who built tiiat monu ment lms been afflicted with "the vice of honesty” until he has fallen away to a ! mere bloat. A Macon correspondent says; The work of slaughtering tho magnificent landed and personal property of Hughes* Vickers, the planters v, hose failure for $190,000 has already been published, com menced in Lee county lust Thursday. They owned a plantation there containing 2,1(10 acres of splendid cotton lauds, upon which was n fine residence, gin houses, quarters, stables, and all other improve ments in proportion, hi make up one of those complete cotton farms which have, for fifty years past, been the pride of the lilnck belt. Tiie land cost its proprietors @IO,OOO. The improvements, the stock, gear, wagons, and farming implements, $15,000 more, or, in all, $55,000. Under the receiver’s hammer, Inst Thursday, the land was knocked down to the Central Bank of Macon for $0,500. The st ick, implements and crop brought $4,500, This whole magnificent estate only bringing SII,OOO. The Augusta Chronic!* of Friday last, says: A man “named Cyrus Holmes, bail ing from Illinois, preached a long sermon at the lower Market yesterday afternoon, and attracted a large crowd of negroes. Holmes is a Booond Adventist, ami claims that the end of (lie world will be brought about in May, IH7B. He stated that hell was iii the middle of the earth, and that ■ lie himself had seen it.

I*., “you are arraigned before this honorable court charged with the grave alienee of matrimony- are you guilty?” “I do,” was the soft ami modest reply. “Then join your right hands. Now, what a man hath joined together, let, not (rod put a under. 1 pronounce you man and wife.” The Marietta Journal publishes the fol lowing recipe for making a very profitable fertilizer: No. 1. Take one barrel hard wood ashes, one barrel bone dust, six bar rels rich earth; mix well. No. 2. —Take forty pounds nitrati of soda, sixty pounds sulphate ammonia, thirty pounds com mon salt. Dissolve No. 2 in just suffi cient water. Tlum add that to No. 1 and mix well; then add to the whole one bar rel of land plaster and mix well again. It would bo well to have the whole to pass through a sieve, say of three-quarter inch mesh, made in the same manner as the mason’s sand riddle or sieve. This mode of mixing by passing through a riddle makes the fertilizer more uniform and free from lumps and stones which might be in the six laurels of rich earth. The above is supposed to lie equal to one ton of ordinary gmmo us sold bv the dealers, nnd good for almost, if not all crops. This mixture lias been tried in Cobb county, as well ns in many other counties, and is essentially tho same as sold under the name of “homo-made guano” and by other names. (From the Indianapolis Journal.) A Distressing Affair. An Indianapolis gentleman, who came ill front Cniw fordsvillc la t t veiling, gives the particulars of the death of a lady in that city, Sunday niglit, under pe culiar circunmtauces. A few nights since the ticket office of the Logan sport. Craxv tordsvillo and Southwestern Railroad was robbed of a largo number of tickets. An employe saw the thieves na tliev were es caping, and recognized one of them us a lad by the name of O'Nia' Michael ha thought his first name was—and as soon as the robbery was discovered, lodged tho information with the a ithorities. On Sunday night a warrant for the boy’s ar rest, was placed in the hands of a couple of policemen, xvho proceeded, without delay, to the residence of Ids parents and made know n tho nature of their errand. The mother, a woman about forty years of age, and mother of six children, one of whom was a babe, when she heard the story, vehemently denied that her boy eouid have been guilty of the crime with which he was charged. So excited did she become tlmt she finally fainted away, and on beiug restored to consciousness again relapsed into a swoon. On recovering from the second nervous attack, Mrs. (I'Xcnl pleaded with tho officers not to take her son, protesting with nil a mother’s power, that he was guiltless. Tho police at last consented to go with the boy to the man who had given the information, nnd if he failed to indentify him lie would be brought back immediately. The police men, who were deeply troubled by the scene, hurried :nvty and aroused the man, xvho announced that it xvas the xvrong boy. Imvindlv rejoicing they spirted hack, but before they bad proceeded far they w ere met by Air. O’Neal xvho informed them that his w ife was dead—had died from the stroke of hearing of her child's disgrace, as she supposed.

End of tho Tickbornc Case Review of the Trial. The trial of the claimant to the Tieh borue estate in England, on charges of perjury committed during the trial for the possession of the estate, lifts been con cluded with a verdict of guilty, nnd a sen tence of fourteen years of penal servitude. The trial has been a long one, having lusted one hundred nnd eighty days, and its result effectually extinguishes the pre tensions of the claimant to the Tichborne estate. The case will live ns one of the most celebrated in law records, and n pop ular interest will belong attached' to the man himself, who has hail the audacity to assume n title that did not belong to him in order to get. possession of a vast prop erty. Whether he ho William Orton, the butcher, or sofke other ~orson. it has been, it appears, well settled that ho is not a Tichborne. The following is a resume of the extraordinary case: Roger Tichborne, the oldest, son of Sir James Tichborne, after being educated in France and at Stonybursf, and serving for a while in the army ns an officer of carabineers, set sail for South America in 1851, after which he was never seen again in England. His travels nnd his life ended, or were supposed to have ended, when the ship Bella, on which ho set, sail nt Rio de Janeiro for New York, foundered at. sea. His mother refused to believe him dead, and advertised for him for several years. At last she was rewarded by hearing from Australia that her son was alive and well; nnd she got letters purporting to bo from him, in which be stated that, he bad been picked'up at sea nnd carried to Melbourne. Tn 1800 the would-be Sir Roger, in the person of the claimant, reached England. Reheat's father was dead: the claimant was recognized by Lady Tichborne as her son. Tn a year or two she died, before the ease came to trial: meanwhile almost every other member of tho family denied identity. The suit instituted by him for the pos session of the title and estates commenced on the 10th of May, 1871, nnd continued, with little interruption until July 7, when nn adjournment for some month's xvas had. The ease was resumed in November, and the clnimnnt’s ease was completed on Jan uary 15. 1872. Sir John Duke Coleridge, then Attorney-General, on that day began his opening address for the defence, oc cupying five weeks in its delivery. On March 4. the jury, having just listened to the testimony of Lord Bellow, to the effect that 110 had tattooed the real Sir Roger when at school, and the claimant being unable to show any tattoo marks, xvlicn induced to state to the court that they had heard enough testimony. Two days after wards the claimant’s ease xvas withdrawn from before the court. Lord Chief Jus tice Uoville, who bad presided at the first trial, thereupon issued a warrant for the arrest of the claimant on tho charge of perjury, and his bail was fixed at .£50,000, but be was soon bailed ont by bis enthu siastic partisans. On April 23. 1873, he xvas put on trial before Lord Chief Justice Cookbnrn, Air. Hawkins conducting tho proseention. and Dr. Koneuly the defence. The testimony for the prosecution xvas closed on the 2d of December last. The defence was then opened, and concluded on the 14th of Jan uary. Tho summing up for the prosecu tion xvas finished on January 28. and on the ensuing day Chief Justice Cockbnrn began the charge to tho jury, which has proved almost as tedious as the speeches of counsel. The verdict of guilty was nn unexpected' one, for there xvere two men on the jury who were regarded with great suspicion. The two trials of the case have cost the government alone fully 82,- 500,000, the counsel receiving enormous fees, nnd witnesses being brought from Australia nnd this country at. groat ex pense. Altogether the case has been a marvellous one. THE LEGISLATURE. Thu Last Day’s Proceedings. SENATE proceedings.

We want a religion that bears heavily, not only on the “exceeding sinfulness of sin,” l>nt on the exceeding rascality of lying and stealing—a religion that ban ishes small measures from the counter, small baskets from the stall, pebbles from the cotton bags, clay from the paper, sand from sugar, chicory from coffee, alum from bread, and water from the milk cans. The religion that is to save the world will not put all the big strawberries at tho top and all the little ones at the bottom. It will rot make one-huff pair of shoes of good leather and the other half of poor leather so that the first shall redound to the ma ker’s ere lit and the second to his cash. It will not put Jouvin’s stamp on Jenkins' kid gloves, nor make Paris bonnets in the back room of a Boston milliner's shop; nor lot ,a piece of velvet that professes to measure twelve yards come to an untimely end in the tenth, or a spool of sewing-silk that vouches for twenty yards be nibbed in the bud at fourteen and a half; nor all-wool delaines nor all-linen handkerchiefs be amalgamated with clandestine cotton, nor coats made of old rags pressed together be sold to the unsuspecting public for legal broadcloth. It does not put bricks at five dollars per thousand into chimneys it con tracts to build of seven-dollar materia!: nor smuggle white pine into floors that have paid for hard pine; uitr leave Yawn ing cracks in closets where boards ought to join; nor daub the ceilings that ought to be smoothly plastered; nor make window blinds with slats that cannot stand the wind, and paint that cannot stand the sun, and fastenings that may be looked at, but are on no account to be touched. The religion that is going to sanctify tho world pays its debts. It does not consider that forty ceuts returned for one hundred cents j given is according to the Gospel, though it may be according to law. It looks on a man who has failed in trade and who con tinues to live in luxury as a thief.— Boston j Christian.

Ten years ago this month a refined onil pretty yonhg girl was sent til Blackwell’s j Island for picking the pocket of a lady on j Broadway. Day before yesterday the same l girl, now a lovely woman of twoiity-four, ; was convicted of the theft and sentenced j to four years hard labor iii Uie State j prison.. Tho story of this unfortunate; woman is a most interesting one. Bom j in Lexington avenue of wealthy nnd re-, spectahle parents, she nevertheless iulier- ; ited that unfortunate temperament known ns the hysterical or emotional. dVlicn the | young girl was convicted the first time the mother pleaded hard for the misguided daughter, but it was hoped (hat the dis cipline of two years would be of advan-1 tage to her, and so the sentence was cur ried into execution. Thoughtless and guy as a child she donned tho convict’s dress. She utterly refused to work, and eonsid- ! erablc liberty was given her. Everybody liked her, for she was pretty and winning j —more like a spoiled child than a danger ous woman. To the son of the warden, a toll youth of eighteen, she seemed a veri . table angel, with her soft hands, deep I blue eyes, and her volatile ways. It took J him about three months to arrive at the conclusion that she wu the most admi rable being that this earth contained, and six months more to decide that it was wrong for such a refined little lady to be kept in such a place. lie was serving an apprenticeship us gas-fitter in New York. He. began to neglect his work on plea of illness, and to stay upon the island instead of going over to the city. It was nston | wiling what an interest he took in all that , related to the affairs of the prison. * Never was bo grand a chance offered , for a gallant hero to strike a grand blow ;to captivate his lady. If I’anline Deschup j pelles had been a convict instead of a mer ; chant princess, Claude Melnotte would not | have had to resort to the subterfuge of | personifying a prince. “If I get you out, ! will you marry me?”'said the Claude of j Blackwell’s Island; and his Pauline re sponded: "Yes, yon or anybody else; only ibe quick about it.” In broken words, caught through gratings or behind iron doors, the fugitive lovers planned it. She should get awsyand leave the Island alone, ( remain in New York three weeks and then : he would join her. A proper opportunity was long in pro | seating itself, but it came at last. The warden had left for a time his son on : guard alone. The sister of the young man was in her room above; she was called down on some pretext and sent to a neigh boring building. Quick as a flash the pretty jail bird dashed up stairs, tore off | the convict garb, and donned the sister’s ; best suit. She did not forget the veil slid parasol with which to shield her features, and she had the wit to sober down her ; usual airy gait to the more staid motion ;of the one into whose shoes she hid ; stepped. Our (’laude was waiting. "Here, T want you to row my sister over to New York,” lie said to tho men, and they did so. ft is not known how he fixed matters with the family, but certain it is that three weeks later he promised to cherish and 1 protect for life that liberated jail-liird and she to love him, to honor, and to obey. A couple aged respectively fourteen and eighteen were rather voting to begin housekeeping, so they lived in a hotel. His love for her was a real passion; she! was his iumw! no matter what she did, nnd he workeitraard all day nnd every dnv to support her. As for her. she Vrrtiimlv respected her husband, she was grateful to him, she had kept her promise, hut 1 the strained, dark bands of the gas-fitter l were always a horror to her; it was towards the light-fingered gentry that she gruvi- ; fated gracefully and naturally. Haying tile whole day to herself, in the , midst of the great metropolis, the here- i ditary dormant passion was snrelv and ! speedily roused to life. Thieving is a disease. Vl ith this Door girl it assumed : the chronic state. Before die had been a wife two years she wns arrested for grand larceny, fried, convicted, and sentenced to Sing Sing for three years. When she came out she thought herself cured; the husband, like Douglas, ever tender and true, took her home again. Unfortu nately for her she never loved him, and i she was incapable of keeping her promise to bo honest. At last she did fall in love. She tried tn nick the pocket of a rich Southerner, and he caught her in the net and chivalrously forgave her. Again a yearning for some thing nobler nnd better took possession of her, and again she promised never to yield to temptation; bqj the new love awakened in her heart made her ashamed of her husband. Boon she was again on trial for larceny, nnd the father of her husband came forward nnd did not spare his evidence in full. She received another term in Sing Sing. In time the warden’s son was divorced and married again. Adelaide came from prison tho third time to stand beside the death-lied of ber mother. “If yon are again tempted to yield to the fatal passion, my child, think how mncli vonr poor mother loved you,” said the dying woman; nnd again tho daughter took the pledge of abstinence. She went to live with a sister in Brooklyn. At the ago of twenty-three she was more of a child than she had been at fourteen. “I am going up to my home,” she said yesterday. “Sing-Sing—l call it my home, 1 have been there so much. T be lieve I like it better than this New York. I suppose it's because 1 am so hardened,” nnd the eyes fill with tears. Her last pledge is broken; the panic came with its great, excitement for ah. nnd nn excite ment especially calculated to aggravate a m ilady like hers. She for four more years must occupy a prison cell, .V. F. Graphic, At a recent fashionable wedding in Boston, it was announced that the cere mony would take place in tho church at half-past seven o'clock in the evening. A musical gentleman was requested to preside at the organ, and, at the time appointed, opened the service with the “Bedding March.” The church was filled with a large audience, but the wedding party was late. The organist played the “Wedding March” through twice ns a prelude. Bv the time the church bell had tolled out eight strokes, he had gone through tho limited repertory of music appropriate to such an occasion, had executed a number of snored airs in a style so rapid and novel that few, if any, in the audience recognized them, and finally, in despair, played the “Dead March in Saul,” with variations of an ex ceedingly original nature. Still there were no signs of the wedding party, and the organist, thoroughly vexed at the de lay, began and play eel a few measures of the air, “O, dear, what call the matter be ?” and closed his introduction with the “Rogue's March,” to the movement of which the party, which had in the meantime arrived, passed up the aisle to the altar. A man stopping his paper, wrote to the editor, “I think folkes ottend spend their munny fur paper my daddy didn’t and everybody sez lie wus the most intillygint-; est naan in the enndry and got the smart- i est farrmly uv buoys that ever dugged Li ters. ” How Pianos are Made. It takes nearly four years to make one instrument; three years and some months to form the parts. No less than sixteen different kinds of wood enter into tho formation embracing tho softest, toughest, hardest, heaviest, lightest, and most com pact gruin. In the “action” alone there are eleven different kinds of wood. The piano, morever, is cosmopolilan, from the fact that the vegetable, animal and|mineral kingdoms of the world contribute to its composition. While spruce pine from Northern New York, n.aple from West Massachusetts, pine nnd ash from Mich igan, cherry from Pennsylvania, wulnut from Indiana, and poplar from West Virginia, after passing through choppers, sawyer- , rnftmen and insjx c'ors as well as buckskin of four kinds, first from tho wild deer and then from the mnnufnot’ers, are necessary. This country does not furnish all the material required. Six kinds of felt, four kinds of metal, besides silver for the plate, silver-gilded strings,enstiron, many kinds of paper, ns also ivory, ebony and varnish are all imported from other countries. In an ordinary piano there are 800 screws, 170 siring ,85 keys and 520 key and turning pins, in a seven-octave square about 90 square feet of vcDcering is used, and in the “action” alono there nre no less than 5,072 pieces. From the foregoing, some conei p ion of the rcqnii ites of a square, upright, or grand piano may be formed. First in the manufacture of a piano conies the seasoning of the wood, which is done by two years’ exposure. Next it is subjected to several months’ storage in nil open building, each piece being separated to get an air drying, anil then quarantine of several moths in a building heated wrtli steam, followed by ten stages of hot-air ; drying during the process of manufacture. Each manipulation of the wood and each ; coat of varnish is followed by a drying ! process, and in the case of the outside . rosewood pieces a regular roasting. The ; heavier pieces of wood being turned by j machinery, they together with the legs are carved by the hands of skillful artists to the required shape and the sounding arid other boards shaved to the requisite thinness by a planing machine. Then , comes the glueing, liending and veneering nu ll followed by the drying -all of which ;is accompanied with the most minute and elaborate detail. Next in order are the rases nnd tops, which are varnished five times, each coat being entirely scraped off j and another put on until the grain of the 1 wood appears, when they re ; receive several more coats of polish varnish j are again scraped and then rubbed down with pumice stone again, varnished, again rubbed, and then polished by hand. The iron frames, after being japanned, receive several coats of paint, and arc then rubbed down and bronzed, after winch they are I ornamented in shaded gilt. The compli cated details of fitting the frames, finishing the sounding boards, making the bridges, uprights, strings and pins, as also the delic t: sero 1 saw manipulations in making the ivory keys nnd wooden lace work for music rests, all baffle description. The ivory, like everything else, is submitted to the drying process to prevent warping. Next iii order i placing the sonndrng- I < a ’,fitting the r ings and ki T-’oar ,ad making the "movement,” The "move ment,” which includes the pedal arrange ment, hamnu r , dampers,and in numerable other contrivances, which differ in the various kinds of instruments, is so compli cated and elaborate in its construction as to defy description. As is well known, each kev struck going a certain distance, which differs in each key, raises a grooved arrangement connecting with the hammer of that key which, as the grooved connec tion slips out, hits the wire and flics hack to the first position. Each 1 anpticr flics a different distance, and is also further regulated by the felt coverings. The j pedal operates on the wires by strips of felt w hich press against tin m. The move- 1 nient being place J in position, the wires - ••ire strung, the oth'r finishing touches 1 given, when the instrument having been ; carefully regulated liy a turning fork, the ! tine and modulation is perfect, and the m; mfocture of the piano is c uupletod.

Wasulxotiix, March 2.- The bill intro duced by Senator West for the settle ment of loyal claims provides that the i Court of Claims shall have sole jurisdic tion of all claims against the United States brought by loyal persons for all classes of property destroyed, occupied, used o taken by the army and navy of the! United States for nnd in the service of tho United States; also, that nil persons who, have been restored in their rights of pi r son or property, after participation in the late rebellion, by reason of any amnesty! proclamation or personal pardons of the; President, and who resumed their allegi ance before the final ending of the war, shall be entitled to the benefit of the pro- ! visions of this bill. It also abolishes the ! .Southern Claim Commission and provides) that all claims now pending and unde-j tennined by said commission, or before the Quartermaster General, Commissary j General, Third Auditor of the Treasury or other executive departments of the j government, shall lie transferred for ad-. judication to the Court of Claims, which, after rendering judgments on the same is i required to report them to Congress for i its action thereon, although either the United .States or tiic claimant can appeal for final review to the Supreme Court- of i tae United States in all cases where the | amount involved is over three thousand j dollars, so that when the action of Con gress is had upon the same, the full pi n: ! ties and law of each claim shall be made I up for its determination. The bill fur thermore provides for commissioners to be appointed in each judicial district of the United States, by the Court of Claims; these commissioners are empowered to ! summon witnesses, take testimony, em ploy stenographers, and fully prepare 1 each claim for presentation to said court. Ihe government is to he represented by the respective district attorneys, anil the ‘ orders of the commissioners are to be enforced by the respective United States Marshals. Tho docket of pnoh c.isc is to be open to inspection of the public when com piled. Other detailed provisions gnard the rights of the United States and ( human ts by prohibiting mmecessary delay after the commencement of suit, and enforcing severe penalties for mis conduct of the commissioners. The costs and expenses in each ease are all to be borne by the successful litigant. It is claimed that the enactment of this bill would save to the government a vast sum of money annually expended in salaries of employes and other expenses in the various departments engaged in examining and setting such claims, be sides the great expenses to which claim ants are now subjected in coming to Washington to prosecute their claims which under this bill can virtually be prepared for determination in their re spective judicial districts.

The following preamble and resolution* were introduced in the Goorgirt Senate by Mr. Gilmore, nnd agreed to on Thursday last, and were concurred iu by the House on the same day: Whereas, The tax-paying Citizens of South Carolina, in Convention assembled, have addressed the morality, the justice, and patriotism of the people of the United States, in a memorial to Congress, by which it is made to appear that they arc suffering from an organized system of op pression, under the form of a local gov ernment, inaugurated amid the chaos of revolution by unprincipled political adven turers, nnd sustained through the eo-oprr* ation of their unfortunate dupes, the re cently enfranchised negroes; and whereas, this appeal to the people comes to us, citi zens of Georgia, who through Providence, have escaped the tyranny of the oppres sion which these, our brethren of South | Carolina, have so long endured. Therefore i he it 1. Resolrnl, by the Senate and Honso 1 of Representatives of Georgia, That the representations made by the memorial of the Tax payers' Convention, recently held in Columbia, South Carolina, present u catalogue of outrage nnd wrong scarcely having a parallel iu the annuls of Christian civi'ization, and is an appeal to the pa triotism nnd moral sense of the people of the United States, demanding their grav est consideration. 2. Resolretl, That ns the genius of onr Republican form of Government rests in | security only in the virtue and intelligence of the citizen, these cannot be ignored without destroying the safeguards of liberty, nnd without corrupting the form Hf government established' by our fa thers. 3. H' vViw/, That we extend our sympa thy to the good poople of South Carolina in the ordeal through which they luivo been called to pass; and while weeanimt hut admire the spirit of forbearance ami fortitude with which they have endured these outrages and suffered these w rongs, we condemn the perpetrators thereof as being responsible for material ruin of n gallant poople nnd the overthrow of the the Republican Government of a great State. 4. Resoled, That onr Representatives in Congress of the United States be re quested to co-operate with the delegates from tho "Tax-payers’ Convention” of South Carolina iu securing such represen tation of their grievances, and remedy therefor, ns may be deemed expedient. 5. Resoled, That his Excellency tho Governor lie requested to transmit these resolutions to the President and members of the “Tax-payers’ Convention” of South ! Carolina.— Charleston Courier. Semitic s' Petition for Pardon. Admiral Semnles, in a letter to Gen. Gordon, Senator from Georgia, asking for removal of his disabilities, says: The undersigned respectfully shows unto i your honorable bodies that prior to the late war between the United States and the Confederate State he was a comman der in the army of the United ; States, domiciled in the State of Aiubum-, i of w hich State he had been a citizen for a .lumber of years; that viewing the ques tions at issue between the Northern and Southern States from a Southern stand point, he believed in the right of secession J o- a St ite for cause; and in a contest U r a kg am e between bis State nnd the Fed . r.u Government he believed his allegiance j ultimately due to his State; that when hi State seceded he felt himself in honor bound to follow her fortunes for better or | for worse; that his State did secede, and that upon the happening of that event ho tendered his resignation to the then Seere tary of the Navy,who well knew the object ! of the tender, and that his resignation was ! accepted; that being by such acceptance relieved from all his obligations to tho Federal Government which grew ont of his late commission, he returned to tho i State which he believed was entitled to bis allegiance, took up arms in her defense, and defended her nnd the Confederate States of wl.ii li she had become a member, to the best of liis ability. That at tho close of the war he retired to private life, and has again become a citizen of tho United States, having as a voter of Ala bama _ sworn to support and defend the ( (institution of the United States, and tho Union of the States. Having thus renewed his allegiance to the Federal Constitution in good faith, he desires the prompt and entire oblivion, except in so far as history may deal with the sub iect of the late dif ferences between the two sections. Ho has the natural affection of an American citizen for the land of his birth, and tho same pride as formerly in the glory and prosperity of Ids country, and of hisjwkole country, and he now requests your hon orable bodies to remove the political disa bilities under which he has so long la bored, and restore him to the full and free embrace of the only country which can claim him, and the only country which ho cares to claim. Respectfully, Rachael Semmes. “Done at Mobile, in the State of Ala bama, on this, the thirtieth day of Janu ary, A. 1). 1871.” l.h'i AL AD I EIiTISKMKXTS. HOMESTEAD NOTICE.
