THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA KNEEL
AROUND THE ALTAR
Humble Invocation to the Lord, for the Beatoratlon
to Health of Our Chief Magiatrate???The Religi
ous Services at the Capitol of the State on
Yesterday???The Feeling Expressed.
Tuesday was set apart by tlic governor as a
day of prayer for the president. The services
re held in the hall of the house of rejfh*-
ntatives from 12:30 o???clock to noon. Both
houses of the legislature were present in full
numbers. Governor Colquitt and staff, and
,'oloncl Hamilton, with several officers of the
iftlt artillery, were noticeable among the
crowd.
At half-past ten o???clock the galleries were full of
idles and gentlemen. Quite a number of Indies
shown to seats on the Ihvir immediately in
front of the speaker's stand. The ehair occupied
the space to the right of the clerk's desk.
The religious exercises were conducted by Rev.
ilin Jones, !). D., chaplain of the house. They
were o|<-ned with an organ solo by Professor Kruger.
1th cornet accompaniment by Mr. Warm.
There was then sung a beautiful hymn by the
hoir.
Dr. Jones offered a fervent prayer for "him whose
life hud been despaired of, but for whom we hud
a in began to hope;??? for his rcstonttfou to his
ife aim childR'U and to the entire nation, which is
stricken in sorrow for his suffering.
Mrs. Wade sung i solo??????Hear Us. Oh, Father.???
Rev. Dr. Martin, then said that the prompt action
the governor in ap]H>inting this day doubtless met
the approval of the entire people. We meet here to
mingle our supplications with those of millions of
our fellow-citizen*. The attempted killing of the
president was a wicked deed, but there is an over
ruling Providence which prevents the fulfilling of
the intention of all wicked deeds. Joseph was sold
slavery by his brethren, hut he beeameja
link in the chain of a blessed history.
Satan tormented Job but after all he
mild say, "The Lord gave, the Lord hath taken
away; Blessed be the mime of the Lord!???
iodmoves in a mysterious way His wonders to
j*crform.
He plants hjs footsteps in the sea and rides upon
tile storm.???
A distinguished divine said on the
iinday after the assassination that there was no
providence in this tiling; that providence did not
lurk in-hiud a murderous revolver. That divine
was wrong. President Garfield himself when
resident Lincoln was shot down spoke in New
York of the great overshadowing providence of God
in that affliction.
The object of I'rovidence'in iiermitting this cruel
deed we may not know, liut some of its good results
we see. Sectional feeling has been buried iu one
immon sorrow. The elmn-h itself lias been blessed
by the blond of the martyrs. The common heart
if mankind lias been touched by this disaster, and
through tile whole human heart the electric touch
of sympathy has run.
This event has called out the active Chris
tian feeling in every community and it
has been triumphantly proven that the people
iu spile of atheism mid skeptical philosophy bold to
the blessed truths of Christianity, and in this their
sorrow they cull unto God for help.
Dr. Martin then prayed for the recovery of the
president.
Mrs. Wade then sang beautifully ???Softly Now the
???iglitoi Day.???
Rev. A. T. Spalding. D. D. said there was a time
in the history of the nations when uniformity of
religious worship was demanded by law, mid some
times the worship was such that, sooner than obey,
men have gone down to dens of lions
mid furnaces of tire. . How glad should
our hearts be to-day when millions
of people of all faiths join in prayer for the presi
dent.
When the assassin smote him for the first time our
laud covered her face Indore the nations.
And here to-day are arising from millions of
hearts the prayer tfiat the president may lie s]??ired
and the land saved from lurther disgrace. There
hr* tender touches in tlie life of Mr. Gurlicld, those
marks of affection t* his mother and his wife, which
have taught us to love him. The-blow that struck
his body struck our hearts. We come to-day to
iray for him. If God shall so will
le shall rise from his lied of sufferings, anil our
nation banded stronger than ever in love, shall share
the still higher nganl of the nations who have wit
nessed our solicitude at his sufferings.
I)r. Spalding fervently prayed for the welfare of
the president. The choir sang, ???The Way is Dark
and Drear.???
Rev. C. A. Evans said it is the belief of all Chris
tendom that the Gud of the Bible is the rightful
ruler in the affairs of men. We have this belief
from the beginning. Moses and the prophets have
taught us that the God of Israel is.the God of men.
And we know this too, because in times of dis-

painful solicitude which tiervades the entire mass
of our people In regard to the condition of our pre

]>coplc of Georgia to devote the hours between 10
u.in. and 12 m., Tuesday, tho 5th of Scptemlier, to

GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
As
we read the New Testament we are more and more
ciinvinoed that God Interests himself in the afl'uirs
of men. And to-day we pray God will turn tills pe
culiar sorrow to peculiar good.
The history of our country is replete with sug
gestions of tills doctrine. They who travese tlie
strange new paths of Our national history
will not understand that history un
less they look above tho earth and see tlie
tars of??? Providence which have shone
u]Hin us. Ours is n nation of Frovidcuce. God 1ms
guided it by his own hand to make it a blessing to
all mankind. If wcean lie puzzled, it must benow,
when the assassin has put all tlie intere-sts of the
nation iu peril. And can God take this instrument
of Satan and with it work out good???.??? This event*
will bring about a renl reunion which we have not
felt before*. The men who met each other on the
field soon came together, but the people did
not. The ehttR???hes affiliated only on
sqier, and the slender bonds of union seemed
.ikelv never to grow stronger. Now comes God and
lie has made the platform on which the people of
the whole country inn stand. He means to teaeli
us tlie strength and the weakness of our govern
ment. With the president lying low for months the
government lias gone serenely on. But we are
shown the weakness of our government, for we are
lieing constantly brought to the verge of gre-at
national confusion. What jiower guides us along
these narrow paths by the abyss, save the
hand of God; and he means to leach us that he is a
God who can be sought ia prayer. Even our com
mon humauitv gets down on its knees and prays to
God to avert a' great national calamity, and we prav
for one who is himself a man of prayer. When he
was elected much of the sia-row felt here over that
event was softened by the feeling that he was a man
of culture, skilled In our government, generous
and noble hearted, but above all this
was the faith in him because he was
Christian. It will be re-merobered that he is the
first active participant in the faith of Christianity
who has occupied the pre-sideiitial chair for a quar
ter of a eentnrv. We come to-day to pray for him
because the whole nation mourn*, and we know
that the hand of God can snatch the dviug presi
dent from the very brink of the grave.
General Evans offered a brief and earnest prayer.
"Christ is Risen??? was then sung with comet and
organ accompaniment. The entire* congregation
then sang the doxology, aud were dismissed by Dr.
Jones.

THE HOUSE.
Mr. DuPree. of Macon, rose and announced
the death of Hon. James T. Glover, late rcj>-
resentative of Twiggs county. Mr. Dupree
paid a feeling tribute to the deceased. He
moved tlie appointment of a special commit
tee to report proper action for tlic house to
take in reference to this sad event. Agreed
to.
Tlie joint committee that visited the deaf
and dumb asylum at Cave Springs, reported
that they were highly satisfied with what they
saw of tlie treatment of pupils and their gen
eral condition. The officers are capable, effi
cient and conscientious. Tlic grounds and
inclosures need repairs, and tlic committee
recommended that one thousand dollars he
appropriated for this purjiose. They
also recommend that five thous
and dollars be appropriated for
an enlarged school room and chapel
for the institution. They report that tlie in
stitution had $3,334 in tlie broken bank of
Rome. The committee recommend that tlie
state appropriate to the asylum that amount
now, and instruct tlie attorney general to in
stitute proceedings to recover tlie money front
the bank.
The report of the committee on adjourn
ment was taken up as a special order. Tlie
committee rejiorted two resolutions; one to
adjourn on Friday, the 23d, and another to
hold-tliree sessions a day.
??????-??? Mr. Sweat???s amendment to adjourn at noon
on Friday, tlie 23d, instead of at midnight, as
tlie resolution stated, was agreed to.
Mr. Smith, of Oglethorpe, offered an amend
ment that the sessions run from 9 to 1, and
from 2;30 to 0:30.
Mr. Jcmison moved to fix Wednesday, the
28tli, as the day of adjournment.
Mr. Wright of Floyd, said that tlie legisla
ture must respect the will of tlie people. Al
ready we can hear the thunders of tlie popular
will demanding that we shall finish this busi
ness and go home.
Mr. Jcmison, of Bibb, said lie feltlike draw
ing liis coat about him when he heard of the
thunders and lightning of tlie popular will
As for liini???lie desired faithfully to uo his duty,
and after that he cared not for the clamor of
the people or the wit of the newspapers.
Mr, Wriglit???I am not ashamed to confess
that I respect publife opinion, and I prophesy
that before two summers pass over liis head
he will respect it too.
Mr. Jemison???Did the gentleman say that
would respect myself or public opinion?
Mr. Wright???I* am aware that the gentle
man has ample respect for himself.
Mr. Jemison???Whatever may be my own
opinion, I trust that the gentleman will not
indicate any want of that respect on the floor
of this house.
Mr. Jemison then explained that he fa
vored the 28tli because tlie house had refused
to liav4 three, sessions a day, and with only
two sessions a day tlie business could not be
finished until the 28tli.
A play of wit occurred between Mr. Jenii-
son and Mr. Smith, of Oglethorpe, as to which
had been of must service in expediting the
business of the house.
Mr. Smith advocated the resolution to ad
journ on the 23d and said after careful
thought oil tlie subject, he was sure the house
Could finish by that time.
Mr. Jemison???Docs not the gentleman think
that the bu.-iiu-ss of tlie house has been de
layed for the want of more frequent counsel
from the gentleman front Oglethorpe?
[Laughter.]
Mr. Smith???I do not know how that may
be, hut I do know that the house
has not suffered for any lack of counsel from
the gentleqian from Bibb. [Laughter.]

An amendment limiting the governor to the
purchase of 3,000 copies at a price not to

Air. Park, of Greene, said that the bill propo
sed to codify the laws of the state at a great
cost. The question is imjiortant, hut lie did
not think tlie bill ought to pass now. Already
large appropriations have been made and the
people are not willing to see more money
spent.
Air. Park said that at a proper time lie would
favor a new codification of the laws of the
state, hut now there are strong objections
to it in the poverty of the people.
Air. Wriglit, of F???lovd, spoke in favor of tlie
pa-sage of the hill, ap???d argued that there is a
demand for coties among the officers of the
various counties of the state. They have
written to the state librarian from all parts of
the state a-king for codes. The edi
tion of 1873 is about exhausted and
there is a great public necessity for
a new cotie. The officers of tlie state sworn
to administer tlic laws of tlie state, are going
on blindly without any means of knowing
what those laws are. The very adoption of
the new constitution destroyed the value of a
very large part of tlie code.
Air. Wright argued forcibly in favor of the
hill.
He was followed hy Air. Winslow, of Hous
ton, who made an argument in favor of the
hill, which lie spiced witli some of his origi
