On Thursday last, the Senate amendment
to The Bland Silver Bill, was passed in
the House of Representatives, by A vote
of 2 02 to 75. The Bill now goes to the
President for his approval. As the vote
ot the House and Senate was two thirds,
and more, the veto of the President will
not defeat the measure. The Bland Sil¬
ver Bill may now be considered a law.
The silver dollar is thus made a legal
tender for the payment ot all dues with¬
out any limit a 9 to amount, notwithstan¬
ding Senator Hill’s opposition, and con¬
tracted idea of limiting its legal tender
capacity to sums of $109,03. It is well
tor the interests of ihe people that
enough true men are found in the legis¬
lative halls at Washington, to put a
stop to the class legislation, sought to be
forced up m the country, in the
of a monied aristocracy, to the ruin ot
the industrial pursuits of the masses ot
the laboring classes.
The Atlanta Constitution of 1 hursday,
last, says i That Sir, Hill, wbeh his
election was pending before the Legisla¬
ture, was vehement aga nst the Member
from Rockdale, and expressed the opin¬
ion that he ought to represent the wish¬
es of his constituents, or resign. It will
he remembered that Rockdale petitioned
their member to cast his ^ote for Mr.
Hill, It is therefore, not out of order for
the people of Rockdale to petition Mi
Hill to resign, when he fails to represent
their interest. But Mr. Ilill attmapts to
explain his position, by saying that the
people do not understand him, because
the press has m’-srepresented him.
Well. Mr, Hill is rather unfortunate,
in taking positions that are so ambiguous
lhat explications are necessary to make
his acts accord with what the people
conceive to be right. This is not the first
time that Mr. Ilill has found it necessary
to satisfy his constituents by the plea
that “he is not understood.”
A DISASTROUS FIRE.
Just before going to press, { says the
Bullock County Guide, Union Springs,
A\a,,f we are informed of cne of the
most destructive fi'-es, which ever occur
ed in this county, by which our sister
toun, Midway, Ala.,has bean laid in ash*
es. It is impossible, at this writing to
ascertain all the particulars. The follow
ing losses are deemed authentic, W.
Cox's storehouse, uninsured, Dr. Bledsoe’s
office, uninsured; J Friedman, stock of
poods insured for lost every¬
thing- Weil tfc Simon, insured for $3-
5')0, lest every thing, M, J, Caldwell &
Co., tlniilsured, lost about four-fifths of
their stock in two stores. Jenk-ns &
Mevitt, two stores, saved neai ly all their
poods, but badly damaged, Jordon &
Sons, two stores ; Griffin & Finney, one
store ; J. C. Willis one store ; M. W.
Britt. one store ; Dr. R. L. Butts’ office ;
K tlarras, one store ; several saved all
their goods but in a damaged condition.
The loss is estimated at $100,000,0;).
The five originated in the store of Si
moh & Weil, Suspicions are very poin¬
ted, but as nothing definite is known we
forbear to make any comments.
THE RETURNING BOARD TRIALS.
ExnCongressman Morey, of Louisina,
who has arrived in Washinton, says that
the trials in the State Courts will result
in a conviction in every case. Public
sentiment in New Orleans sustains the
Judge, jury and prosecuting officers in
securing their conviction in the speediest
possible manner and without much re-i
gard to technicalities.. But Mr. Morey
hays that there is no danger of Wells, An.,
derson and Company’s languishing in
prison any length of time. lie says that
the cases will bo appealed at once to the
Slate Supreme Court and from there to
the linked States Supreme Court, and
that Wells and his three “pals” will un*
doubtedly escape. Mr, Morey thinks
that the people in New Orleans v\ill not
Care so veiy much about their release by
the Supreme Court, but they were deter-,
mined to have all of the four members of
the board convicted. Judge Whitaker,
who presides in the court which tries'
them, is a former resident of Boston, and
has a brother in that city now. He was
n gallant soldier in the Federal army* and
lost a leg iu the w ar.
On Saturday night lai, at Newnan,
Ed, McDonald shot and instantly killed
John Patman, a iriend with whom he
had been on social and friendly inter
course only a short time before. The
quarrel arose from some playful remark
made by Patman, which roused the bad
blood of Ins comrade, and he shot him
twice, one ba'l entering the chest just
below the collar bone, and the other en¬
tering the back. The murderer was im¬
mediately arrested aud placed in chains, as
the jail was regarded unsafe*

Pursuant to announcement, a meeting
of the citizens of Rockdale was held this
day at the Court House, IIou. B. F. Carr
ill the Chuir, and W. P, Reed Secretary,
On motion, M«j. J. H, Griffin explain*
ed the object of the meeting, to be foi
the purpose of discussing the finaucia
measures before Congress, aud giving
expression to the public sentiment.
On motion, a committee* consisting of
Maj. J. H. Griffin, lion. E. B. Kossei and
W, P. Reed, Esq., was appointed to pre¬
pare business for the meeting.
After a short absence, the committee
presented two leporls. The majority
report presented by Messrs. Griffiu and
Reed, was as follows :
Whereas, The recent financial legishr
lion of the United States has been in di¬
rect opposition to all sound principles of
political economy ; causing the most dis¬
astrous consequences to our material in*
terete, and tending to still greater evils
in the future, therefore be it
Resolved, Tha’ as citizens* tax-payers
and freemen, we demand the protection
in all our rights and interests which the
government owes us us a permanent du¬
ty ; and we hereby denounce and protest
against all class legislation, and especially
Such legislation as tends to enrich mo¬
nopolists, bondholders and speculators,
at the expense of the honest, toiling
masses ot the people.
Resolved, That the pfeseht condition
of trade and industry is the natural re*
'suit of the contiaction of the currency,
the demonetization ot silver, the Resump¬
tion Act, and the .unwise, unjust and
fraudulent policy forced upon the coun¬
try by a corrupt ring of corrupt extort
tioners.
Resolved, That we hereby call upon
our Representatives and Senators in Con¬
gress, to use every honorable means to
secure the passage of the bill known as
the Bland Silver Bill, the repeal of the
Resumption Act, and to provide for an
expansive currency—a legal tender alike
for the rich and the poor, the bondholds
iug capitalist arid the hardworking labor¬
er ; and be it further
Resolved, That, the members of the
Georgia delegation in Congress who are
now acting in accordance with the above
vie ws, are deUp’ ving of our warmest
commendation ; and that Senator Hill,
in pm suing an opposite course, is not
representing his constituents, and ought,
in justice ta them to resign, if he cannot
obey their wishes and instructions.
The minority report, presented by
Judge Rosser, read as follows :
The minority of the committee beg
leave to adopt the majority repol’t, whh
the except ion of the last clause in refer-,
ence to Senator Hill; as it is the judg
ment of the minority that the expressions
therein contained are too severe.
After a discussion, participated in by
Judge Rosser, Dr. J. A. Stewart and
Co!. Glenn, the majority report was
adopted by a vote oi nearly two to one.
On motion, the proceedings were or¬
dered to be published in the county pa¬
pers and the Atlanta Constitution.
The meeting then adjourned.

A City Fell of Begcars. —The city
of Washington is full of half-starved
idlers. The men are driven into crime,
and the courts are crowded with criminal
business, the women are driven to beg¬
ging, or what is worse, so that the city
this winter is a vast colony of indigent
people, and in a population of one hun¬
dred thousand, nearly ten per cent. Are
without employment aud without means.
One cannot walk three blocks here at
night without meeting at least one, find
often several respectable looking white
people, who ask for a penny, as they say,
to buy bread. They are generally WO'
men. well dressed and gooddookiug, who
have been driven to this pitiable condi¬
tion by loss of employment. You sel¬
dom see a white person on the street
beggingin the daytime, but colored beg¬
gars are numerous, and Washington is
last approaching Rome in the numbers
of its lazzaroni. The beggars that go
ftom house to house are even move nu¬
merous than the street beggars, and are
a better class of people .—Buffalo Com¬
mercial Advertiser.
In the Superior Court of Richmond
County, iu the oa&e of Nelly vs, Kelly;
application lor divorce and alimony, it

wife except r.s performing duties as his
wife. The applicant uot performing
such, aud having voluntarily separated
herselt, and being unheard for niue years,
the motion to set apart alimony was re¬
fused.
United States funds in London have
advanced, instead of falling, as was ex**
pected would have been the result of the
Senate's action in the silver bill. This
has surprised the financiers. The Lon¬
don 'limes , in its financial artie’e* bow*
ever, says : “This does alter the fact
that political fictions in America have
been playing fast aud loose with national
credit, or that the passage of the bill is,
in intention, a distinct breach of faith.”
