ATLANTA. GEORGIA-
Wednesday. February 2, 1870.
ADVKKTibiiiQ.—It ta a well known tact that
fortunes without number have been made by
the use of printer’s ink. Notwithstanding this
plain undeniable Cad, the great mass of busirn
in our city manifest an apathy on this snbjtct
which Is tiuly astonishing. Among the thou*
send or more business men who reside in our
city, scarcely one in ten are found to advertise
in any one of our city papers. True, there are
many ot our people, whose business is so small
that advertising might not beot much advantage
to them, but aa regards the great majority, there
can be no doubt that every advertiser, will rea
lize one hundred per cent or more on the
ac-ount paid the printer.
tiui.po.-e, as we know to be the tact, that one
ot our merchants got himself sued, by putting
an advertisement in one of our city papers. The
debt waa for a email amount, unjust, and he
will doubtleas get clear of it, and we venture
the assertion that hia advertisement will benefit
him ten fold for the trouble be may have had in
defending the lawsuit. The tacts are these :
There were, some ten yean ago, living in the
city of Atlanta three men of the same name.—
One of them made a small account with some
individual, which stood unsettled, till two of the
men bearing the same name, removed from the
city to parts unknown.
The third one remained here, and continued
in business, and put in the advertisement above
alluded 10. He attributes the bringing of the
suit against him to the advertisement, as it no
tified the psrty suing, that one of the name still
resided in the city, which he probably would
not have known, it he bad not advertised. This
he gave as a reason for not repeating his ad
vertisement. This is a rare case, and we men
tion it merely to show how flimsy the pretexts
ire to which some resort to excuse themselves
for not advertising. We cheerfully concede to
every man the right of judging for himself
whether cr not it is to his interest to make hia
business known to the public, through the me
diums of the press.
The public abroad will form their judgment,
upon the commercial importance of a city, upon
the amount of advertisements they see in the
newspapers published therein. Therefore, not
only as a matter of private interest, but a matter
of public policy, should our business man give
a liberal patronage to our newspaper establish
ments. It is an incontrovertible fact, that
wherever you find a well-supported press, you
will find a prosperous people.
Blackwood’s Magazine.—We have received
the January number, American edition, of this
old and universally popular magazine. Aa
usual, its contents are rich, rare and racy. Of all
the literary magazines published on either conti
nent, Blackwood’s occupies the front rank, and
deservedly so. Wejpresent the reader with its
table ot contents: Earl’s Dene—Part IIL The
Farming and Peasantry ot the Continent. John
—Part III. Lord Mayo and the Umbaila Dur
bar. Lord Lytton’s Comedy. The Opening of
the Suez Canal. Mr. Froude and Queen Mary.
Lord Byron and his Calumniators.
The American Journal of Medical
Science.—We have received from the publisher
the January number ol this medical work, ed
ited for over forty years with signal ability and
success by Dr. Isaac Hays, while its corps of
regular contributors are among the most distin
guished members of the medical profession in
tbe United States. The number before us con
tains original articles of interest to the profes
sion, while its selections are trom the best for
eign publications. The work is published at
Philadelphia by H. C. Lea, at $5 per annum.
Side-Show*.—An idle man, as he saunters
along our streets, cannot but notice the nu
merous tents, booths placards, and other out
ward concomitants of a certain class of amuse
ment*. Paintings abound—mostly cl the “Tur
key carpet” style. One made quite an Impres
sion upon our artistic eye. It represents a
woman. A fat woman. A woman of appa
rently six hundred lbs. avoir dupols. A woman
of unlimited capacity. Such a woman, in short,
a* It Is impossible to find anywhere, except
upon canvas. Wo said that we were struck
with the picture. And so we were. It is time
that it violates some ol the canons of taste and
high art, but then, the oolons are gorgeous.—
That is the great thing after alL We regret
that our spare precludes a notice of the picture,
on Marietta street, representing a terocious con
cern of the Alligator species just in the act ot
devouring an Imaginary somebody. Our colored
legislators, it is said, avoid this as they would
the plague. It is too natural to suit them.
Luck.—C. Powell, auctioneer, Is selling dally,
package* containing goods, money &c. The
nrioe of each package is only twenty-five cents.
Yesterday he sold one oi these and when the
purchaser opeued the package he found it to
contain a fine new shirt lor a grown person.—
This was certainly a streak of good luck in a
small way for our country friend, who bought
the ticket for twenty-five cents.
Nervous Headache, Liver Complaints,
Ac. Ac.—'The braiu being Ihe most delicate
and sensitive ot all our organs, is necessarily
more or less aflocted by all our bodily ailments.
A headache is oiten the first symptom of a seri
ous disease It the nervous system is affected,
there is aiways trouble at its source in the peri
cranium. And it may be here remarked that as
the nervors hbre pervades the enure frame, no
part ot the physical structure can be aftected
xntbout the nerves sufleriug sympathetically.
Liver complaint ot every type affecis the braiu
Sometimes the effect is stupor, confusion of ideas,
hypochondriasis; sometimes persistent or peri
odical headache. In any case, the best remedy
th.t can be taken is Plantation Bitters. In
headache proceeding from indigestion or billi-
outiieas, or both, the stomachic and anti billious
properties ot the preparation will soon relieve
ihe torture, by removing its cause, it the com
plaint is purely nervous—in other words, it it
has originated in the nervous system, and is not
tbe result ot sympathy, the Bitters will be
equally «rticacious.
So light and delicate are all the preparations
made trom Sea Moss Karine that it is invalua
ble tor invalids and all those requiring a light
and easily digested food. jau25-d6telt

Speaker McWhorter, on taking the Chair,
briefly addressed the House as follows :
He stated that tbe present Legislatures was
assembled here under the authority of Congrers
Reconstruction began more than four years ago,
and he feared that we might live to regret our
non-acceptance of the terms offered by that
Congress. They offered more liberty than was
ever before offered to a subjugated people. On
our future conduct depends our very existence
as a people. Moderation must rule the hour.—
Our national interests have been neglected.—
Our treasury is depleted. Taxation has become
burdensome. We cannot expect free-labor to
to be profitable without mental culture. Let us
forget tbe past—that is gone forever—let us re
member to-day, and devote our energies to the
prosperity of the State.
He returned thanks to the House for tbe honor
conferred upon him, and on motion, declared
the Houre adjourned until 10 o’clock Wednes

requested him to record the votes ot Messrs.
Donaldson, Talliaferro and Nunn.
The Chairman declined, and reterred to Gen
eral Order No. 10. He would allow no appeal
from his decision.
Mr. Scott said he would file a protest.
The three members above named were the
only ones declared ineligible by Gen. Terry’s
order. Weloher’s case is still under considera
tion. He is prohibited from taking any part in
the proceeding pending the investigation. The
other members tried are declared eligible.
Thunders of applause greeted the election of
Speaker McWhorter, aDd tbe utmost interest

HOUSE.
The House was called to order at 10 o’clock
A. M., Speaker McWhorter iu the Chair.
Prayer by Rev. C. W. Francis.
The Clerk theu read a communication from
the Governor, recommending the House to seat
certain persons who received the next highest
number of votes to the members declared ineli
gible by General Orders 9 and 10,
Mr. Bryant, of Richmond, opposed the Gov
ernor’s recommendation, and moved to lay it on
the table. He advocated his motion iu a briel
argument.
Mr Tweedy rose to a point ot order He
claimed the floor. The Speaker said that he
recognized Mr. Bryam first,
Mr. Bryant claimed that the ineligibles are
not Constitutionally disqualified. He argued
against the 6ealmg ot the persons mentioned in
the Governor’s communication, quoting trom
the Code ot Georgia, and from a speech of Sena
tor Edmunds, of Vermont.
Mr. O’Neal, of Lowndes, rose to a point of
order.
The Speaker said he would not entertain a
motion to lay on the table.
Mr. Darnell said there was nothing before the
House.
Mr. Bryant proceeded with his argument, and
proclaimed himselt a Republican.
Mr. Turner, colored, asked what was to be
done with the precedent set’ by Congress, in the
care of two ineligible members,.where they
seated the next highest.
Mr Bryant said there was no such precedent,
and concluded by moving to lav the Governor’s
communication on the table.
The Speaker said he would rule iu favor oi
seating the next highest.
Mr. Shumate, of Whitfield, appealed from the
Chair. He said that he wa9 astounded to hear
the Speaker state that the Houre was organi
zing under the provisions ot the Code. Where
was the Section authorizing the Supervisor ot
the State Road to organize the House ? What
Section in the Code contains the oaths required
ot the members. The House was not organized.
No Speaker pro tem had been elected. No
members could participate in the procetd-
l ings, unless his name appears in Meade’s proc
lamation. No other persons were summoned
by the Governor’s proclamation. The House
convened under a law ot Congress, and he was
tor carrying out that law. It would be a vio
lation ot its letter and spirit to allow any per
son, not named in Gen. Meade’s proclamation,
to take a seat in the House. No parliamentary
body on the face ot the habitable globe, was ever
organized in this manner. There exists no sim
ilar precedent in the annals of any country. The
code is as silent as the grave on the subject.—
The act ot Congress is the law controlling the.
organization ot "the Legislature.
Mr. O’Neal, of Lowndes, followed in opposi
tion to the appeal. He claimed to be perfectly
familiar with the history of reconstruction.
The Governor’s communication was before
Shooting It Ira on the Spot.
An unusual aff&ir occurred in the Circuit
Court yesterday. 'The trial ot Jack Johnson,
for rape, has just been concluded, and the priso
ner discharged ou motion ol the Common
wealth’s Attorney , Mrs. Louisa Henry, the chief
witness, a white woman, having tailed to testily
in such a manner as to lasteu the crime upon
her ravisher, though there was little doubt 01
his guilt. Mm. Henry had gone into the witness
room to claim her attendance tee, when the ne
gro came in and laughed in her face. Sue im
mediately drew a pisiol from hodcr her apron,
and pushing it square into his lace, fired. The
negro anticipated her just in time to dodge, but
tbe powder burned his face, and the ball made
a little round hole in his big busby wooL—
The affair created a momentary panic in
tbe court room, but the excitement was soon
Quelled by the sheriffs. The lady was immedi-
itely arrested by Officer Hines, who was in the
room at the time, and prevented her from firing
■gain, which she was hasitiiy making prepara
tion* to do. The negro was badly trlghtened,
and affirmed that he had swallowed the ball
jt was afterwards found, however, buried deep
in the door lacing about eigut feet above the
floor. He mad* n narrow escape from death.
Mrs Henry was presented to the court for con
tempt, but the mem tiers ot the bar arose to a
man and asked that she be discharged. Under
the circumstances ot the case, Judge Banco let
h»r go but she was immediately put under ar-
nst lor shooting with iDtent to kill. She gave | the body. His Excellency prefers to leave the

pioud ot the heroism which hiS wife had dis- no provision in the Code controlling the ques-
l laved.— Courier-Journal, 2QtV I tion, precedent must rule.
—*«. I Mr. Williams, ol Morgan, asked a question. *
After Investments.—The Madison (FIs) 1 Mr. Bryant, of Richmond, asked Mr.O’Nvjal
O’Neal refused to yield tbe floor to Mr. Shu
mate. Mr. Bryant wished'to make a correction,
but O’Neal would not bear it, and proceeded
with his speech, He argued that tbe provision
of the Code referring to the “ next highest ap
plies to this case. He appealed to the inteui-
gent Democrats ot the Hour. They •uelaanea
a similar ruling ot tbe Speaker in 1888.
Mr. Bryant asked him if he didn t vote the
other way , „
Mr. O’Neal would not yield the Boor. He
burst into a little declamation on the novel sub
ject of “ consistency 1 ” and grew facetious over
the “ new issue.” He advised Democrats not to
stultify themselves. „ ,
The Speaker said the discussion must close.
He was but a provisional officer.
Mr. Scott, of Floyd, asked these questions:
“ Are we organizing under tbe law of Con
gresa ? ”
“ Yes,” replied the Speaker.
Mr, Scott—“ Does that law call this a
provisional Legislature ? ”
Tbe Speaker refused to answer any more
questions.
Mr. Scott insisted on his right.
Mr. O’Neal objected.
Mr. Scott said the Legislature was , only pro
visional, by the assumption of Bullock and the
^TheSpeaker said there was no point of order
before the House. He ruled that Mr. Turner,
colored, had the floor. , .
Turner and BryaDt discussed a precedent es
tablished io Congress in tbe case of some mem
bers from Kentucky. , . „ j.
Price ot Lumpkin, obtained tne floor. He
indulged the hope that the House would be per
mitted to organize quietly, but it was not organ
ized now. He hoped the message ot Gov
Bullock would be laid ou the table. Bulloch
has no right under the act ol Congress to insist
upon his recommendation. The matter should
be referred at a proper time to the Committee
ot Privileges and Elections. This was not the
time to act iu the matter. Bullock was not offi
daily advised ot the election ot the Spebker.—
vV hen the House organized, he hoped it would be
in conformity with the Reconstruction Act. It
would be a fraud upon the Legislature to force
the decision of the Speaker on the House at
this time. He would now vote in favor of the
appeal. On the proper occasion he believed
that he would vote to sustain tbe bpeaaer’s de
cision, but thiB was not the proper time. The
House should proceed with the election ol its
officers.
Air. Darnell called the question on the motion
of the member lrom Richmond.
The motion was the appeal from the Speak
er’s decision.
The Speaker explained the reasons influ
encing h's decision, and referred to hia former
decision in 1868, when he was sustained by the
House. He put the question. Ihe Speaker
was sustained by the sound. Yeas and nays,
were called. Yeas, 63 ; Nays, 65.
A motion was made to adjourn.
A call was made for the yeas and nays, and
the Clerk called the Roll.
Yeas 62; nays 64. , ___
Mr. Scott, of Floyd, moved that the House
go into an election of Speaker pro term, aDd
nominated Hon. W. F. Holden.
A member moved to adjourn until 3 o clock.
Mr. Scott denied the right to make the mo
tion while his was pending.
The Chair ruled that the motion to adjourn
was in order.
Yeas and nays were called.

HOUSE—AFTERNOON SESSION.
At 3 o’clock, P. M., the House was called to
order, Speaker McWhorter in the Chair.
Mr. Lane, of Brooks, asked tor another read
ing ot the Governor’s message.
Mr. Scott, ot Floyd, objected.
Mr. Tweedy, of Richmond, said the message
was not sent to the House, bat to the Speaker.
Mr. Scott proceeded.
Mr. Tweedy interrupted. He denied the
right of Mr. Scott to speak.
Mr. Scoit said the House was not organized.
If some mysteric us decree of the powers above
should take the Speaker in an upward direction
—a violent presumption—or. if he should be
suddenly summoned below, who would act in
his place ? The object of these motions was
simply delay. Why take up the time of the
House with a second reading of the Governor s
m ftflsft gfl V
Mr. Rice interrupted. He desired to hear the
'^Mx^ane explained his object in making the
request. It was for the purpose ot discussing
the message. . . . _. . .
Mr. Scott proceeded. He asked the Chair by
what rules tbe House was governed.
The Speaker replied that he had no roles.
He prescribed them himselt.
Mr. Bryant wanted the House to adopt rules
tor its government.
Mr; Scott said that the rules of the preceed
ing session should govern until the House organ
ized- . -
Mr. O’Neal, of Lowndes, maae a point ot
order. Mr Scott had no right to catechise
the presiding officer.
The Speaker said that he indulged the gentle
man from Floyd out of courtesy.
Mr. Scott said that as the Governor’s message
was not addressed to the House, they had no
right to inflict the reading of it upon that body.
It is a private communication. The House can
not consider it.
Mr. Rice said there was no reasonable cause
why the communication should not be read.
Mr. Price, of Lumpkin, remarked that the
Speaker could put a Btop to any further debate
on the question.
Mr. Bryant asked if the Speaker was gov
erned by the 169th Section of the Code.
The Speaker said he did not know what tbe
Section was. He was governed by parhament-
ary law.
Mr. Bryant moved to adjourn.
Tbe motion was carried, and the Speaker de
clared the House adjourned until 12 o’clock, M.,
to-morrow.
The following is a copy of the Governor’s
communication which was read in the House
this morning:
Hon. R. L. Me Whorter, Speaker :
The following named persons have applied to
the General Commanding this District to be
awarded the seats in the House, to which they
were elected, by reason of the fact that the per
sons heretofore claiming to have been elected,
were disqualified aud could not therefore have
Vipf-*n elected.
The Commanding General is decided in his
opinion, that the person who received the num
ber of votes next highest to the candidate dis
qualified—being himselt qualified—is legally
entitled to.the seat. The Commanding General,
however, evincing a aue regard for your honor-
aifle body, a* organized, prefers that suctfeper-
sons should be promptly admitted to their
rights and privileges in the House by the act of
the House itself, rather than to exercise in the
premises any authority vested in him as District
Commander. .. . _
Therefore, moved by the desire which 1 am
9ure actuates all good citizens, that our present
effort to promote reconstruction, shall be so sne-
cesslul as to secure complete approval from the
authorities ot the General Government, and our
consequent early admission into the family of
States, l embrace this opportunity to communi
cate information of the state ol the Common'
wealth, and recommend to your consideration
measures deemed necessary and expedient by
presenting the names of W. L. Goodwin, of
Cass county; James R. Thomasaon, of Carroll
county; William Guilford, of Upson county;
James H. Jackson, of Randolph county; Jacob
P. Hutchings, ol Jones county; Henry C. Hol
comb, of Fulton county; C. O. Johnson, ot
Spalding county; Joseph Armstrong, of Dooly
county; and J. B Nesbit, ot Gordon county,
who were legally elected, and are prepared to
take the oath requited by the act of Congress of
December 22,1869 ; and to respectfully recom
mend that the said persons be permitted to take
tbe oath and their seats at once.
Rufus B. Bullock,
Provisional Governor.
Mr. Anderson, of Cobb, objected.
Mr. Shumate demanded tbe reading o! tbe
Journal of day before yesterday.
Tbe Speaker refused, and the reading pro-
needed.
Tbe Clerk read the following communication
irom tbe Governor :

Bet. Maj. Gen. Alfred H. Terry, Commanding
District of Georgia:
Gehebal—Although tbe communication ad
dressed by myself on yesterday to tbe Speaker
ot the House was previously submitted to you,
it did not carry with it your formal approval.
This fact is made use of by designing persons
to effect a disregard ot it.
I will be obliged if you will correct that false
impression. I am, General, very respectfully
your obedient servant,
Rufus B. Bullock,
Provisional Governor.
Atlanta, Ga., January 28, 1870.

Tne main question was put, and the yeas and
nays were called.

The House Journal of Saturday, was read by
the Clerk.
Mr. Bryant presented a written protest Against
the decision of the Chair, on Saturday, in re
fusing to entertain an appeal. The protest
charged the House with having organized in an
illegal and unauthorized manner; specifying,
among other things, the admission ot certain
persons not named in the order ot G>-n Mead*.
and asserted that certain members had been
hindered and prevented trom taking their seats.
Mr. O’Neal, of Lowndes, eai I that it was an
established rule, that a protest, in Legislative
assemblies, mast be couched in respecrtul lan
guage. He analogized the protest to a petition
in a Court 01 Equity. In both cases, tue docu
ment must be in respecifut language.
A message from tbe Senate informed the
House of its organization, and of the app<lini
ment ot a Committee to wait upon the Governor,
with the Committee trom the Home
Mr. O’Neal proceeded Bryant’s protest was
disrespectful to the House, to tbe Governor, to
the General commanding, and to the gent enaan
himself! It Bryant did not recognize this as a
legal body, let him withdraw. Such a protest
was without a precedent. Bysnt was in con
tempt ot the House. Members voting for the
recording ot tne protest admitted its truth. It
they voted for it, let them depart from a body
which they declare illegal. He complimented
his own moderation and temperance.
The Speaker said the protest was undignified
and would not be entertained. In his opinion,
the House was legally organized
Mr. Bryant ootained the floor, and gave his
views on the subject The protest was couched
in respecitul language. It stated facts. Tbe
ideas might not be respectful, but they were
truths. He offered a telegram and requested its
reading.
The Speaker announced that the time had
arrived for the committee appointed to wait
upon toe Governor.
Objection was made to the reading ot Mr.
Brvant’s telegram.
The Speaker ruled that it could not be read
trom the desk.
Mr. Bryant stated that the dispatch was from
Senator Edmunds, of Vermont He read ex
tracts from a letter statiug that Senator Carpen
ter denounced tue action ot Gov. Bullock as an
usurpation. Mr. Bryant said the House was
illegally organized. He would act with any
party to save tbe State front ruin. He cared
nothing for the flings of O'Neal. He did not
care whether the protest was recorded or not.
He would appeal to Congress, to the people ol
the United States, and to the people of Georgia.
Men who deiended the action of the House
would yet live to regret it. He was ashamed ot
the conduct of men calling themselves Repub
licans. Oh, Republicanism! what crimes are
committed in toy name!
Mr. Scott, ot Floyd, reminded the Speaker
that, on several occasions, be had assured him
that when the House was organized he might
file his protest. He expected to offer his protest
in a day or two. Where was the disrespectful
language in Bryant’s protest ?
Mr. O’Neal, ot Lowndes, said that the tone
of the protest was disrespectful. It attacked
the legal existence of the House.
Mr. Scott was of the opinion that, when all
things were considered, there never was a pro
test couched in more respectful language. No
sensible man in the House, or out of it, believed
that the House was legally organized. He
quoted from a dispatch of General Terry’s to
prove that the House had proceeded in an illegal
manner. He asked O’Neal if he recognized the
authority of Gen. Terry.
Mr. O’Neal refused to answer.
A colored member desired to know who had
the floor.
Mr. Scott proceeded. General Terry was
compelled to report to General Shermau, and
in one of these dispatches he stated that
there was no authority for seating members re
ceiving the next highest number of votes, in the
places of those declared Ineligible. How, then,
could the protest be disrespectful to Gen. Terry ?
Consistency, might be a jewel. He wished he
could a as much for Mr. O’Neal, of Lowndes l
He reviewed the course ot O’Neal & Co. Skir
mishing took place betwetn O'Neal aud Scott,
but the latter gentleman kept the floor.
He was ready to defend the rights of every
man, whether bis skin was darkened by Equa
torial beats, or bleached by the cold winds of
the North! He again denounced the present
organization ot the House, as unlawful and un
authorized. It was done flagrantly and tyran
nically.
A colored member made a point of order.
Another gentleman was standing up while
Mr. ticott was speaking. No attention was paid
to the “cullud gemmao.”
Mr. Harper, ot Terrell, criticised Mr. O’Neal’s
position. The minority had a right to have
their protest recorded. It it was disrespecttul
they could have it drawn up by a man ot some
sense—not the member from Lowndes—and
have it recorded. Why din Mr. O’Neal OP'
pose it. He would not yield the floor to Mr.
O’NeaL Ho addressed himself to members who
were still undecided. Mr. O’Neal didn’t “ toto ”
fair.
Mr. Rice obtained the floor, and discussed the
situation, in spite of the objection ot Mr. Fel
der, ot Houston. He was in iavor of recordmg
the protest. It was a right. He commented
upon the telegraphic literature of the day.—
Telegrams were frequently colored He thought
we had had enough ot reconstruction bills The
indiscretion ot this body had caused much of
our trouble. He objected to excitement—to mad
and lurious debate. We must submit to the
powers that be. For polity’s sake, we should
restrain our feelings.
Mr. Boott, oi Floyd, supposed that Mr. Rice
referred to him. He explained bimselfl Ha
did say something about putting General Terry
on the stand, but he also said that he was in fa
vor ot submitting quietly and defending the
rights of the colored people, and every one.
Mr. Rice thought it was impolitic to put Gen
Terry on the stand. These things had their
effect out ot the House, abroad. He exhorted
them to so conduct tnemselves as to avoid any
further breakers.
Mr. O’Neal came in with tbe report of the
committee appointed to wait upon the Governor.
The Governor would announce the organization
of the House to Geu. Terry, and transmit a
communication to the House ou Wednesday,
at 12, M.
Mr. ty’Neal moved to take a reces3 until 12
o’clock, Wednesday next.
The yeas and nays were called, and stood
yeas 53, nays 45.
House adjourned until 12, M, Wednesday
next.
