JosnuA IIii.l will deliver an ad dress this evening at the City Hall, com- m >nci ng at 7 o'clock. A large attendance is anticipated. Thf. Congressional Districts or Geor gia.—A convenient table for reference, headed Georgia Congressional Districts, will be found in another column. It gives the names of the counties composing each of the seven Districts, and the representa tive population of each district, as deter mined under the constitutional rule that controlled in 18G0. Correction.—Our report of the resolu tion by Mr. Burnett, yesterday, should have stated tluit after some discussion, It was withdrawn by that gentleman. And in another point the reporter erred In naming Mr. McCoy as replying to Mr. Caldwell. It should have read Mr. Aker- max. The Gubernatorial Question.—By re ference to our reports of to-day's proceed' ings of the Convention it will be seen that the question of petitioning Gen. Pope to appoint a Provisional Governor who will assist in the work of reconstruction has been carried by a decided majority. The debate was an able and lengthy one—com paring favorably with any we have ever heard in the legislative halls of the State. Almost the whole session was consumed in the debate. At the close both sides came to a fair and final struggle upon the main is«ue, with the result announced elsewhere. The Convention and Mr. Chase—Cau cus Meeting Last Night.—At a caucus of the Republican memlwjrs of the Consti tutional Convention, held last night at the City llall. the following resolution was adopted with but one dissenting voice, there being about eighty delegates present: “ Resolved. That we, the Republican members of the Georgia Constitutional Convention, and citizens of the State of Georgia, do hereby express our high admi ration for the eminent statesmanship of Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase, and ex press our most implicit confidence in his fidelity to all the principles of equal jus tice embodied in the platform and adorn ing the triumphant history of the Repub lican party; and we furthermore take this method of declaring to the world our hope that the American people will, at the com ing Presidential election, transfer Mr. Chase from the head of the Judicial to the head of the Executive Department of our tiovernment, with assurances, however, that we will cheerfully support the nomi uce of the party whomsoever ho may be.' The State Load.—A rumor being cur rent in Chattanooga Monday of a proba ble change in the management of the W and A. Rail Road, the Union of that city says: We sincerly hope that this report will prove incorrect. No better road than the State Road exists in the South. Under the masterly management of Campbell Wal lace, its' fame has been so widely diffused that every traveler in the laud knows of the quick time, the smooth traveling and courteous officials of the Western and At lantic Railroad, and its stockholders are semi-annnally reminded by their premiums that its management is of the best. We presume there is no reliable founda tion for the rumor to which the Union re fers. If ability, efficiency and integrity are among the requisites for superinten- dant of that Road, we do not see how Maj* Wallace’s place could be better filled. Supreme Court of Georgia.—The Re corder, of the 17th, says: It Is understood that the Court, for the accommodation of the members of the Bar engaged in cases from many of the Circuits which have not yet been reached on the Calendar, will take a recess from Friday night next until Thursday after the first Monday in January. 1868. The Court meets daily at 9 o'clock, a. m., hears argument until half-post 1, resumes at 3 and hears argument until oandle-light. Every Mon day «nd six nights of the week are devoted to the examination and decision of cases. As yet very few annunciations of points have been made. One of these is in accord with the United States Supreme Court, that greenbacks are a legal tender. , > pg* A hill will soon be introduced, it fas said, reorganizing the Patent Office, abo lishing the oflice of Commissioner, and in vesting the power confided in him in a board of commissioners to be appointed by the President, similar to the method pre vailing in France and England. From this board of commissioners there is to he no appeal, except to the Supreme Court of the United States. THI TBUS ABO TEA fiUI In pasaing the stratfthe other day we caught a glimpse, at different points, of two reigning belles, whose characters are so opposite, that they “paint a moral and adorn a tale.” The first, a beautiful creature, gay frivo lous, and mercurial in temper, like the but terfly in spring, delights more in personal display, than in those excellencies which give to womanhood its real charm. Fasci nating in form and feature, she has studied w ell the art of pleasing. Mo wonder, with all her personal attractions, that society should accord to her the crown of a reign ing belle. In her girlhood favored by for tune, the highest advantages of education and society were hers. Yielding, however, to the fascinations of display, the grace of person was fostered to the neglect of mind and heart. Ignoring the true mission of of her sex, her life has been given to the vanities of the world. Her estimate of self fails to embrace the beauties of the mind in tbeir truthful development of the inner life, nor in her sympathies and affections so much in common with humanity, as with the tinsel trappings ctf display. At the social party, the ball, the theater, and on the street, she is an object of attraction, basking in the sunshine of admiring eyes, with honied sentences of empty nothing ness whispered into her ears by a score of votive tongues. Graceful in every step, she is a walking poem in the symmetry of form. But, with all her native charm, and the fascination of a well studied art, through which she creates s palpitating sensation in the world, she is yet lacking in the true claims of woman to the queen- ship of society. The second, unrivalled In the beautiful perfection of face and form, and in her youth possessed of wealth, was educated in that school of accomplishment which educes from mind and heart the wealth of latent intellect and the graee of refining sentiment. \f ith a mind rarely endowed and adorned by carefill culture, she is more deeeply versed in a knowledge of the world, in literature, science, history and philosophy, than in the frivolous arts and and caprices of society. Seldom seen at the theater, her seat Is rarely vacant at the church. At social parties—in society, she is the focus of thought and wM. Books are her themes, and learning her discourse As the light of the stars the scintillations of her thoughts, whilst her conversation holds with a spell of enchantment the at tention of her admirers. The butterflies of ftuhion swarm about her, but the light of her presence eclipses their flickering wings. She dwells in an atmosphere of roses, sweetened by the breath of her own inspirations. Her mind is a casket of jew els culled from the sea of thought, and her heart the home of all beautlfiil and holy affections. Her life is a feast at the fonn tain of Truth made brigher by the reflec tion of her image in its crystal depths. She makes no noise in the world. Display is as distasteful to her as the vanity In which it is conceived. With a true appreciation of womanhood, it is to her a rational thought—the guardian spirit of humanity Her distinguishing trait is purity of char acter, her thoughts and feelings the emana tlons of goodness and love. Her life is a sanctuary by angels guarded against the ingress of unhallowed guests, with each thought and sentiment pure and spotless as the Alpine snow. In these ex treines the world with its usually false estimate of true character, recognizes what it is pleased to term the true queens of society. And, yet, how strange a paradox do they present! The one is all mind, the other aU matter. The one a perennial spring blossom, the other a sentimental flower. The one a bright star, the other a pale glow worm. The one a model of true womanhood, the other polished counterfeit. The one “ of the earth, earthy,” the other counterpart of Heaven Convention met at regular hour; prayer by Rev. Wesley Prettyman; journal of yesterday read and approved, f The unfinished business of yesterday— the gubernatorial resolution Of 1ft: Cald well—was resumed, Mr. BRADLEY hav ing the floor. He resumed his argument in substance to the effect that Qovi Jenkins had not been asked to continue in office— he was, under the reconstruction lavs, dis qualified, inasmuch as he could not take the test oath. All officers who could not take this oath held their positions illegally, in violation of the constitution and laws of the United States. Not only thte—many of the provisional officials had labored dil igently to defeat the work of reconstruc tion, the purpose for which this Conven tion was called. . Mr. SAFFOLD rose to a point of order, The resolutions of Mr. Caldwell were, he claimed, not proper matter 1 for considera tion, under the resolution reported from the committee of ten, and adopted yesterday. The CHAIRMAN ruled the resolutions proper matter for consideration; w hen Mr. BRADLEY resumed and continued his remarks at‘ some length. * Mr. BLODGETT referied to the past political course of Gov. J., which he con demned so far as connected with the histo ry of Georgia during and since the war. The Provisional Governorhad opposed, in the courts, as the last res>rt. the laws ol Reconstruction, and had jemained passive after defeat. The friends of Reconstruc tion wanted a Governor who would aid and assist them. Such a nan was named bj r the resolution under caisideration, and inasmnch as it was only ^commendatory, and could not control the action of Gen eral Pope, he hoped the tesolution would pass. Mr. iBO “ GIA STATE CONVENT} eighth day. Wednesday, Dec. 18 Good Hits.—The Tribune, of the 14th has a few admirable hits. Here Is one for Americans to consider: The Hon. Anson Burlingame, United States Minister in China, is soon to leave Pekin for the United States on a special mission for the Chinese Government. As the ruler of the Celestial Empire has much land and little money, we should not won der if Mr. Burlingame had been commis sioned to offer some real estate for sale. A second possibly reflects upon some body else. We quote: It is rumored, but we trust without any authority, that a horrible plot has been discovered on the part of the Fenians to kidnap Queen Victoria while visiting the sanctuary of the late very much lamented Prince Albert, and shipping her on board a gunboat for Abyssinia, where that fero cious savage could have carried out at his leisure his intention to compel her to mar ry him. The plot, however, seems to have been discovered in season, and the queen only visits the aforesaid sanctuary at pres ent under the protection of a regiment of cavalry. The Chattanooga Murder.—Mrs. Rog ers, the woman who was assaulted by her husband, in Chattanooga, last Saturday night, died on Sunday morning. The Union, of yesterday, says: The murderer has./ been arrested and placed in confinement. He was taken ont on Sunday morning, at his earnest request, to view the corpse, but seemed so over whelmed with remorse, when In the pres ence of his murdered wife, that he quickly desired to be returned to prison. He is named William Rogers, and is believed to belong to Acton, Ga. The receipts from internal revenue to-day were $405,968^2, making the total amount for the week ending to-day $2,253.- 906,82, and the total since the begining of the present fiscal year $04,047^84^6. The Baltimore American of the 14th says: It is rumored that Governor Swann, Comptroller Leonard and Treasurer Fow ler—the Board of Public Works of Mary land—have disposed of all the State s in terest in the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, excepting in the Washington branch, to the railroad company, In exchange for State bonds. PARROTT—Judge Harris in the Chair—said this was an ^nportant ques tion, when considered in ronneetion with Reconstruction. He objected to the course of Governor Jenkins in relation to the conscription laws, and to kia course since the war with regard to restoration. But he was not prepared to vote for the resolu tion. He was willing to tryst this and kin dred questions to the Geserai command ing, which officer he defended from charges made upon the floor. Gen. Pope had stood by Georgia, was earnest inalding the work of Reconstruction, and Ms past conduct was sufficient guarante* for the future: and hereafter, as now, tfie people of this commonwealth would hive cause to com mend his official conduct. Mr. Parrott concluded by moving to postpone the ftirther consideration to January 8,1868. Mr. DUNNING opposed the resolution. He eould see the secret springs that prompted the contemplated action, and did not believe honesty impelled the active outside influences working so vigilantly to carry the proposition. Mr. BRYANT favored the resolution at length, replying to the arguments of gen tlemen in opposition. lie wanted some one at the head of public affairs tpho would stand by the reconstruction party in the canvass that would inevitably ensue upon the question of ratification. This was not done by Gov. Jenkins anJ ciyjl officers generally, during the late canvass; but it would be done in the next canvass, if the gentleman named in the resolution should be accepted by Gen. Pope. Mr. Bullock, he said, was no party hack, but was and had been a Union man, a Mend of Georgia and her people, and would devote the best energies of a long and active experience to the advancement of their Interests. Mr. SAFFOLD thought’much was made sometimes by people attending to their own business, and he dii not think this Convention w'as. by any means, engaged in a legitimate work, should it pass this resolution. He represented one of the ne gro districts of the State—himself and col leagues did not receive more than 75 white votes—they were Georgians by birth and interest, and as sucii were sent up here by a large negro constituency to make a Con stitution, and not to make Governors. There was nothing in the Reconstruction laws that devolved any duty upon this Convention beyond preparing a Constitu tion. General Pope would attend to eve rything necessary to advance Reconstruc tion, and he was willing to trust the matter with him. By doing too much the Convention might endanger all, and being a Union man he should oppose this and other resolutions. Let this Convention do its business as well as General Pope has done his, and all will be well. Mr. PRINCE regretted that gentlemen boasted ot their place of birth. As an off set, he would say that he was born in New England, but had adopted Georgia as his home. He was here to do all in his power for Georgia and his constituents. He un derstood the wishes of those who had sent him here, and one of their wishes was the removal of all obstacles to the advance of Reconstruction. Governor Jenkins was one of these, and he should be removed, and a man put in Ids place who would eompel the civil officers to protect loyal men, which was not now tlie case, as was daily being demonstrated. Mr. HOLCOMB was cm posed to the in troduction of party tactics into this Con vention. If this was avoided the work would soon be dond and ddne well. Keep ont firebrands, and all will oe well. The people of Georgia are in favor of restora tion—true they differ as to the best means to be pursued. Keep down party spirit, and eschew scrambling for office, and Geor gia will soon resume her old place. Gen. Pope W’as the instrument of the United States Government—he was here to pre serve peace and order—had called this Con vention, and delegates were here to fulfill their portion of the duties assigned them by the laws of Congress. He wanted the Convention to do nothing more, and would vote against the resolution. Mr. McCOY spoke in opposition to the resolution. He believed office AekinMWas the great curse of the country^ and «uld see in this proposition that a strong fffort was being made to continue the evil. Especially, he said, should a scramble for office, for p&rtiz&n purposes, be condei Gov. Jenkins could not retard the reconstruction, as he could not direct the action of a half dozen officers in the State. He believed the key-note of this move ment was something else—the question of aiding the work of reconstruction was a subterfuge to veil efforts to get charge of the offices and emolnments of the State road. He also claimed that Gen. Pope did not dare remove Gov. J. unless he was an obstruction to reconstruction, and that point Gen. Pope must decide himself; and this Convention could not be his con science keeper. Mr. CALDWELL wanted to make a proposition In connection with his resolu tion that would remove all the objections that had been made. He cared nothing for men, cliques, or this or that wing of the Convention, but the great prize or measure he had in his heart was restoration. He knew personally but little of Mr. Bullock, but learned that he was a gentleman of ability and Integrity, whose name he pre sented without much consultation. He would drop the name, however, and let the Convention decide upon the principle of his resolution; if favorable they could then decide upon the man—and if it was found that Col. Bullock was not the right man, select another to recommend to Gen. Pope. He hurled back the charge that he was influenced by the pride and power of office in his action. He only wanted, the principle sustained—did not desire to command Gen. Pope, simply to request him to change the chief magistra cy. He moved to adjourn until 10 o’clock to-morrow, which motion was lost. Mr. TRAMMELL rose to correct an as sertion that had been made. It had been asserted that no Union or colored man could be employed on the Western and At lantic Railroad. It was not true, ne knew two-thirds of the employees, many of them, in all positions, had served in the Union army; nine-tenths of them had voted for Reconstruction. The officer at the head of the road was an earnest friend of the great cause in which we are engaged, and it was a fact that upon entering upon the dis charge of the duties of the office, the pres sure upon him to remove men for opinion’s sake was so strong, that he found it neces sary to publish a letter on the subject. He made this correction for the purpose of doin justice to a patriotic and honorable citizen and an efficient officer.! Mr. BLODGETT moved the previous question, which was sustained, and a vote on the question of postponing to January 8th, was ordered; which being by a call of the yeas and nays resulted—yeas 77; nays 78. A motion to adjourn was lost bn divis ion—yeas 48; nays 71. A division of the question was called for, and a vote was uften bn that portion of the original proposition, which reads as follows: We the representatives of that majority are now striving to overcome the obstacles in the path of restoration to civil law, and therefore respectfully petition the General commanding this District that a Provis ional Governor be appointed who will assist in this great work. Upon this question the yeas and nays were demanded and taken, as foHows: Yeas — Adkins, Alexander, Anderson Angier, Ashburn, Bentley, Beaird, Bald win, J. Bell, J. C.

The Alabama Constitution.—Com menting upon the Constitution prepared by the State Convention of Alabama, the New York Tribune says: None in any of the Free States is more nobly dedicated to the principles of uni versal freedom and equal rights. Already the clause relating to suff rage, however, has been subjected to some unfriendly criticism. Neither Congress nor the Con vention has seen fit to carry out the recon struction policy of the Tribune, which has been and still is in favor of Uni versal Amnesty and Impartial Suffrage. Had the generous policy of universal am nesty been adopted, a much larger white vote in favor of reconstruction on the basis of impartial suffrage would have been polled in every Southern State than can now he polled for any constitution that may be framed under the proscriptions in cident to the Congressional policy. The people of the South would now unite with Mr. Greeley, or an}’ one else, on the Platferm of “Universal Amnesty and Im partial Suffrage.” A State Constitution for Georgia, based upon that Principle would meet with but very feeble opposi tion in Georgia. But the law of Congress, known as the “Military Reconstruction Act” renders that scheme impracticable. Reconstruction must be accomplished ac cording to terms imposed by the Law, un less Congress shall yet make such a modi fication as will enable the people to carry out their wishes in this particular. Financial.—The amount of securities held by the Treasurer of the United States in trust for National Banks, reported on the 14th, was as follows: For circulating notes, $341,107,750; for deposits of public moneys, $37,917,950; total $379,025,700. The New Yore Post on the Alabama Convention.—Commenting on the Fran chise measures of the Alabama Convention, that staunch Republican journal, the New York Post, says: We have heard of a great many tests as qualifications for the franchise—property qualifications, educational qualifications, religious qualifications, and various loyal qualifications—but it has never before been required that a man should take an oath to his belief in the political capacity of others before he should be enfranchised himself. Carry out this test and we shall next hear of conventions that require subscription to the Chicago platform, or the Philadelphia platform, or the Baltimore platform, or some other shibboleth of a party eased. Parties, in fact, will soon come to disfraL- chise each other, as the Mexican and Span ish parties often do, till political contests are no longer a struggle of votes but a struggle or force.

Tlie Southern Favorite 8 Withholding Cotton on which Ad vances have been Made.—We have no ticed In some of our Southern exchanges articles referring to the very discreditable, or to speak more to the point, absolutely dishonest course which has been pursued by some planters in obtaining advances on their crops from factors, and then disposing of their cotton crop to other parties, with out reimbursing the factor to whom they had obligated themselves to consign it. in any shape whatever. At the present time there is, we regret to say, a case of this kftid pending in one of our own courts. The laws of this State are exceedingly strin gent, as they ought to be, respecting tlie duties of both factor and planter, and it is to be hoped that in all cases involving either the interests or the honor of one or the other, the law will be enforced in its fullest extent.—N. O. Trice Current, Senator Thomas, of Maryland, will be admitted to his seat next week. Serious apprehensions are entertained of an insurrection in Naples, in which city demonstrations against the course of the Government have been unusually vio-‘ lent. A Vienna letter states that the manufac ture of breech-loading guns is being car ried forward in Austria with great activi ty. The State Arsenals produce about six hundred per day. and officers from all the regiments are arriving in the capital to learn the use of this new arm. in order to serve as instructors to the whole army. A New York paper makes a startling and painful exhibit—an exhibit, mainly of the fact that there is. at this moment, not less than fifty thousand men out .of em ployment in that city, with complete stag nation among all the trades, and jioverty and general destitution among the labor ing classes.
