To the General ???Assembly: A grievdhs ne-

I luatufat your hands a thorough investiga-
??? I tion of my motives and conduct, as tne
12301 executive of Georgia, in placing the state's
j indorsement upon the bonds -of the North

created by widely-circulated slanders and
j innuendoes, vile and malignant, and so
I mendacious :ml wicked as to make all com-
n ??rih I ment and i??araphrase uixm them utterly
I futile. Nothing but a thorough sifting of

I meat can reach these, and satisfy ^grieved

the j>eople of Georgia, as they have a

life, it would be an act of supreuiest injus-
rice to deny the most plenary vindication,

tive form known to the laws or to public
opinion. To the people of this great com
monwealth it is of the last consequence that
they should know .beyond all peradvemure
that the man who tills, at their call, the
chief seat of authority Is above reproach or

The committee appointed to revise tl
rules adopted for the government of the
12)65 | senate, and designate such additional stand
ing committees as may be necessary, report
through their chairman, Mr. Lumpkin,that
they have made certain changes in the rules
of the last senate, which arc herewith sub
mitted, and they recommend the adoption
of said rules as amended. Rcjiort taken up
and adopted.

Mr. Hudson, of Harris, moved to table Mr.
King???s resolution.
The substitute offered by Mr. Livingstone,
of Newton, was taken up. Mr. King, of
Flovd, opjK??sed it. ???
Mr. Waters, of Doughertv, offered an
amendment, which was withdrawn.
Mr. Shepherd, of Miller, moved to table
the resolution and the substitute. Division
asked. Yeas, 59; nays, 103. So the motion
to table was lost.
Mr. McCurrv. of Hart, moved an amend
ment to the substitute by making the com
mittee one from each judicial circuit instead
of nine. Lost.
Mr. Sibley, of Richmond, offered a resolu
tion, as a substitute for tlie whole, that the
sense of the house be that the judicial cir*
cuits remain as they are now.
Mr. t'ox, of Troup, sjpoke in favor of the
ubstitute. The resolution demands the
absolute reduction of the cir
cuits, while the substitute merely ap-
IMiints a committee to consider the proprie
ty of such a reduction. His remarks were
pointed and pithv.
Mr. Yancey, of Clarke, moved to amend
the substitute hv adding the words ???accord
ing to the constitution;*??? so that the pro
mised committee shall act in accordance
ith the provisions of the constitution on
the subject of reducing the judicial circuits.
He s]xtkc in favor of the substitute with
the promised amendment.

Mr. Northern, of Hancock, offered a
resolution that 500 copies of each message
lx* ordered printed for the house. Adopted.
Mr. Rankin, of Gordon, offered a resolu
tion that portions of the governor???s message
relating to matters of legislation be referred
to appropriate committees
pointed. Adopted.
Mr. Strother, of Lincoln, offered a reso
lution that the speaker appoint a committee
of five to frame a suitable bill against lob
bying. Tabled.
Mr. Strickland, of Clinch, offered a reso
lution to appoint a committee to investigate
the wild land office, etc. Adopted.
Mr. King, of Floyd, offered a resolution
that a special committee of twenty, one
from each judicial circuit, be appoin ted to
consider the reduction of the number of
circuits from twenty to sixteen, and tliat
the election of judges be postponed until
the committee shall report.
Mr. King, of Floyd, moved to suspend the
rules for the purpose of considering the res
olution.
The house refused to suspend the rules by
55 nays to 85 yeas.
Mr. Jordan, of Wilkes, offered a resolution
tiiat the election of a Cnited States senator
be had on the 19th. Tabled.
Mr. Cox, of Troup, offered a resolution
tliat a committee of five from the house

jxirarily.
Mr. Duval, of Richmond, offered a reso

The speaker ruled the bill out, _
written in pencil, declaring tliat all records
of tlie house must be in ink. Here tlie
speakor stated tliat there was no business
before the house.
Mr. Kunkiu, of Gordon, moved that thc
roll counties he called for introduce
new matter. Yeas on a division 1; the gen
tleman from Gordon and about a score arose
on the call for the negative.
Here the house enjoyed a perfect rest for
several minutes. So did the reporters.
Mr. King, of Floyd, moved again to
suspend the rules to consider his resolution
to reduce the number of judicial circuits
from twenty to sixteen.
Mr. King made a few pertinent remarks
on the question.
Mr. McWhorter raised the point that the
house had refused to consider that matter
to-day.
The speaker ruled that the motion was
order, as the house had done other business
since it refused to susjiend the rules.
Mr. Matthews, of Talbot, favored the f
pension of the rules in a sensible speech of is clear and cool. Tliere were 4 deaths dur-

ing a fortune of 180,000,000 francs ($30,000.-

this fabulously great inheritance fell to M.
Jules Dubochet, a clerk in a banking house,
and the other to Madame Gnichard, wife of
the republican deputy of the Yonne, Dr.

who is her only child. I
understand that Madame Arnaud, with

agreed to settle a thinl of the 40,-

bestowed on her to her future husband. She
has a ton and a daughter. The latter is
iuarrie I to a cavalry officer, and has a little
girl called Leonie, after. Gambetta. To see
her is to love and respect her. Her life haa
been spotless, and her virtues much more
than negative. Without being brilliant, she
is a woman of fine intellect and noble feel
ing, and would think her vast fortune well
spent in consolidating the republic, and
enabling Gambetta to devote his genius ex

A SAD TRAGEDY.
Nashville, November 7.???Lula Lang, a
widow, shot herself through the left breast,
at a boarding house next to the Olympic
theater, fracturing her shoulder-blade, and,
perhaps, inflicting a fatal wonnd. When
she came into the house, at about 7:30
o???clock, she went to her room, and was bit
terly weeping when a servant apjieared. Be
fore her was a revolver. Tlie servant came
near taking it from her, but thinking she
liad it there for personal protection in case
her room was broken open hv-
a burglar, did not do so. At nine i??.
m. a single shot was heard. But little
attention was paid to it It was supjmoed
to liave teen on the street No one seemed
disposed to investigate it except the same
servant, who went to the front and, seeing
no crowd outside, was about to return to
her quarters in the rear, when she heard a
groan which evidently came from the room
occupied by Mrs. Lang. When she reached
the door of Mrs. Lang** room and opened it
the apartment was dark. In a low agoniz-
X voice, Mrs. Lang said, ???Raise me op;
me up!??? The servant not knowing
what had hap]>ened, responded, ???Ob, no; I
can???t do it??? Mrs. Lang then jumped into
a ted and covered herself with the clothing,
and commenced to cry In a muffled voice,
Oh, don???t tell any one.??? Hie servant
then lighted the lamp and discovered
fhe revolver, which now lay on the floor.
???Wliat have you done???? she asked of
Mra. Lang. ???Shot myself; l don???t know
why I should have done it; I must have
been mad???out of niy mind. Oh, it is so
terrible!??? and again she wept aloud. The
servant took tlie light to the bed and sow
the wound, from which the blood was
steadily jxiuring.
???What made you do it?*??? asked the ser
vant.
???Troubles! troubles!! trouble*!!!??? she
exclaimed in utter despair. ???lie was tlie
cauac of it. It was he that drove me to it.???
A messenger was immediately dispatched
for a surgeon, and during the interval
before his arrival the woman said
she was engaged to a man named John
McKinney, who bad promised her he
would not- walk, nor ride, nor visit a
certain woman. She had that afternoon
seen liim riding with her. From that time
she was miserable, wretched. She took a
gold watch which McKinney had loaned
her and pawned it for a revolver, deter
mined to kill him first and then to put an
end to her own existence. She had been
out looking for him but could find btm
nowhere. Upon her return to her room she
grew almost crazed with grief. Putting out
the light, she seized the revolver, placed the
