Wednesday, Apri>27, 1870.
Atlanta ab a Summer Resort.—As the
time is approaching wheu residents in unhealthy
localities, will lie seeking places of resort, during
the summer reason, we venture to say a few
words in Itehalf of our city, as a desirable loca
tion lor those seeking pleasure and health du
ring the coming season. As to the location of
Atlanta, for health, theie is no place in Georgia
that can claim a prelerence over it. The air is
pure and exhili rating, the waters good and pal
at able as ever came out ot the earth, and no
causes to produce miasma, which destroys the
health of many other cities and localities. So
ciety is as good as can he round anywhere, with
the same amount of population. We have
churches in abundance, of every name and de
nomination known in this section of country.—
Schools abound to a large extent, and we have
the prospect ol valuable additions to these in a
short time. We have maDy sources of innocent
amusement, to which visitors resort to pas.
their leisure hours. To the man of pleasure,
with his lamily, no place in Georgia ofleis
greater inducements for a temporary home du
ring the summer months than Atlanta. The
Legislature will likely remain in session, duriDg
a portion ot the summer, which will be an ob
ject ol interest to visitors. We have very re
spectable boarding houses, in abundance, as
well as good hotels; and by another season,
Kimball’s Mammoth House will be in success
ful operation, and multitudes can be accommo
dated therein. So come to Atlanta this sum
mer, ii you want to enjoy health, comfort and
pleasure. We have five railroads which will
bring you in and carry you out in the shortest
order, when you desire it. “Come and cast
your lot among us, and we will do thee good.”
11 on. A. H. Stephens.—Our newspaper ex
changes lor some time past have been publish
ing favorable accounts of the improving health
ot this distinguished man. We regret to have
to say that these flattering accounts have proven
to be untrue. Krona a private letter we received
from him a lew days since, he says: “lam
now barely able to sit up. 1 am not able to
walk or even stand without aid of some sort.—
I never expect to be on loot again.” The Sa
vannah Advertiser has a publication to the same
tiled. In a letter to a friend in Richmond, he
says: “The accounts you see in the papers
about the improved condition ot my health arc
utieily untrue. I cannot imagine what the con
trollers ol newspapers mean by concocting such
stories. At the very time the statement was go
ing the rounds of the press that 1 was so much
improved in health, etc., I was actually, and, in
tact, worse oil than I had been for months.
• **•*•*#**
I can neither stand nor walk without assistance
of some sort; writing has become so painful
that anything ol that kind is now generally done
by the hands of others. * * * I never ex
pect to leave home again. The heavy work on
which 1 have been engaged so long, being now
completely ofl my bauds, the visits of congeneal
friends are the more welcome.” We are pained
to chronicle this dolorous account of Mr. Ste
phens from his own pen. The press which
have published the accounts ot his improved
health, acted with the best intentions, and with
them the “ wish was lather to the thought.”—
We did not intend to make public Mr. Slephens’
private communication to us as regards his
health, if we had not seen the same in the Sa
vannah Advertiser. We hope Mr. Stephens may
be disappointed in his anticipations, and that he
may yet recuperate, and be able to go out, and
let hi9 mellow, sweet voice he heard by the peo
ple of Georgia, who have been so oiten electri
fied by its magic power.
Cole’s Opera House.—This new and ele-
gaut place of amusement presents a variety ol
attractions which can hardly fail to make it
p»pular with that genial and anti morose class
who conscientiously oppose the great and jolly
Burns’ abstract proposition that “man was made
to mourn.” Every appointment of the unique
little establishment borders near perfection, hav
ing been made with especial reference to com
fort, convenience and cheerfulness. The bar
and cuisine, departments excel in their respective
appliances aud commodities, and present every
accommodation that the most fastidious connou«
sear could possibly anticipate. The stage per-
formauces, in a beautiful and richly decorated
hall, with now aud pleasing scenery, are remark
ably good, aud combine much of real artistic
merit aud rare peculiar genius. The performers
are all clever in their respective roles, and pre
sent a coinbinatiou of talent but seldom met
with outside the great cities. H«vey, as a ne
gro delineator, is undoubtedly the best “contra
band" ever seeu since the palmy days of the
lameutcd Peel, and can iorce a laugh from any
man at all familiar with the peculiarities of a
genuine specimen ot the Southern negro. The
dancing is a very attractive feature of the per
formances, at the terpsichorean artistes) are all
tar above ordinary. Miss Kate Barrown and
M’lle Lottie are especially attractive as tine
datiseuses. M ile Lottie sings well, and dances
bke a tairy. Her action is superb. Miss Kate
Barrown’s action is equally good, while she dis
plays a natural grace, proficiency in artistic mo
tiou, aud perfection in step*, which brings to
mind the attendant toe-ology of the great “White
Pawn,” so admirably rendored by the celebrated
Mau’lie Sohlke, whose reputation as a star
danseusc was never excelled in this country.
Removal of Mercer Universitv.—From
the Gicenslicro Herald we Clip the iollowing:
“ P. S.—Since pinning the above, the amount
requisite tor securing the removal of Oglethorpe
University to Atlanta has been subscribed by
the citizens ot that place. Of couree, then it
will not be a competitor for Mercer.” R'ght,
brother Herald. Howmuchsoever we would
like to have Mercer Uuiversity located in our
midst, we have no hope that we could cfiect the
desired object now. Hence, we are not in the
field. Macon, Griffin, Marietta, and Madison
seem to be competitors tor the new loc.rion.
The Baptist State Convention meets in Ni-wnan
this week, and beiore that intelligent body
the subject will be thoroughly ventilated. It is
apprehended that this vexed question will dis
turb the harmony of the church. Let our Bap
tist friends remember the Scripture teachings,
“ How g‘H)d and how pleasaut it is lor brethren
to dwell together in unity.’’
An Interesting Question.—Notary Public
Smith presided yesterday iu a case which in
volved several very nice legal questions. A
gentleman residing near Atlanta lost a fine cow
several months ago. It may or may ui>t have
beeu stolen, but in sxnc way, to him unkuown,
it suddenly disappeared without his knowledge
or consent. Some time elapsed beiore he heard
anything concerning the missing animal. When
he t.-und her ill • was in the pts-essionof a
citizen ol this eounty who had purchased her
as an estray, at au estray sale in Clayton couuty.
He, ot course, declined to give her up, believiug
that he had a legal title. The original owner
found that the cow had never been advertised as
required by law, and sued out a possessory war
rant for her recovery. CoL T. P. Westmore
land represented the plaintiff and Marshall J.
Clark, E;q , the defendant. These gentlemen
argued the case in a very able, thorough and
exhaustible manner. Several proportions ol
law, having a very material bearing upon the
issue, involved rather subtle distinctions, and
these were adduced and elaborated in a lucid
manner, which was as agreeable to the court as
it certainly was creditable to the talented coun
sel.
The judgment of the court was in favor ol the
plaintiff.
Atlanta as a Manufacturing City.—We
have had occasion to allude to this subject, on
former occasions, but its importance is of such
magnitude that we hope to be pardoned tor
again obtruding it upon the attention of our
readeis. Our pec pie should have “line upon
line and precept upon precept; here a little and
there a little,” so as ever to keep the subject
fresh in their minds, that it may never be for
gotten. Agriculture, commerce and manufac
tures, are said to be the main pillars ot a na
tion’s wealth, greatness and prosperity. These
all demand the fostering care and protection ol
our population. As to our agriculture, which is
the leading element of our strength, it needs hut
little encouragement. All it asks is to be let
alone. Don’t burden it with heavy taxes, don’t
tramel it with foolish legislation but let it aloDe,
free as the mountain air, and the stout hearts
and strong arms of our sturdy couDtrymeD,
will always make “ seed to the sower aud bread
to the eater.”
Commerce Deeds more of the aid of legisla
tion for its regulation, protection and encour-
agemi nt. This, however, is often carried to an
extent wbicL defeats the object for which it was
intended. Bat our design is to say something
of manufactures, the third great lever of our
national greatness, especially as regards our own
growing city. We have done something in this
way, but much more remains to be done. Atlanta
has many advantages for a manufacturing town.
Her radroad facilities open to her an access to
ail the material necessary to bnild up manufac
tories of every kind. Coal, minerals, timber,
cotton, and everything else necessary, are
at her command All that is needed are capi
tal and enterprise. For these we are mainly
dependent upon other sections of the country.
Our own capital at home, has been so heavily
drawn upon, in building up the “waste places”
of the city, that but little has been left for man
ufacturing purposes. Even now, we have mig-
nificent enterprises going on, which require a
large amount of capital. These will, however,
soon be completed, and then, there will be a
time for our enterprising citizens to take hold of
this interest, and with such aid as we can get
from abroad, this branch of our industry will
receive its deserved impulse, and go on prosper
ing aod to prosper. We have no doubt it we
could get our people and others properly waked
up on this subject, in the next decade our pres
ent population will be duplicated.
Thrown from his Horse.—We saw quite a
crowd going up Pryor street yesterday after
noon, and npon inquiry found that the marshal
of the city had mounted a fiery steed ; the bri
dle broke and the horse plunged so as to throw
bis rider against the lence. The Major received
very slight injuries and the city will not be de
prived of his valuable services on account of the
accident.
Bargains 1 Bargains 11 Bargains 1! 1—Yes.
and good bargains, too. Where? you ask
Why, at I. L. Falk & Co.’s large and extensive
Clothing Store, on Whitehall street. Yon
Decdn’t be afraid of throwing away your time
and wasting your shoe leather in going to their
store. It you want anything in tber line and
wili call on them, you will be certain to buy
Try the experiment.
Royal Arch Masons.—We perceive that
this order-had a Grand Festival on Wednes
day night last, in the city of Albany, Georgia,
which is represented as successful in the highest
degree. About one hundred Companions were
present, aud expressed themselves extremely
gratified with the whole proceedings. Our Al
bany' Companions have set a good example.
We hope it will be followed up by our R. A,
Companions in other towns aud cities. There
is something very pleasant and refreshing in
these Masonic Reunions. We h&ve often par
ticipated in them m the days of “Auld Lang
Bine,” and can testify to their benign influence
upon the Masonic social and moral feelmgs ot
those who participate in them.
Rev. Dr. Dozier.—We learn from the
Dawson Journal that this gentleman, a resident
of our city, and well and favorably known to
our people, is now on a visit to the city of
Dawson, Terrell county, Ga., and during the
past week organized a lodge of Good Templars,
which was named the “ Banner Lodge,” on ac
count ol there being more charter members
than any other in the State.
Dr. Dozier is doing much in the way of
promotion ot the cause ot Temperance in our
State. He is traveling through the State or
ganizing lodges of Good Templars, and acting
zealously for the advancement of the cause of
Temperance wherever he treads. We wish him
abundant success in his “ labor of love.”
The Churches of Atlanta.—To the eye
of the casual observer, Atlanta seems to rank
high as a city, careful ot its religious welfare.
Fine and stately churches of every denomina
tion, rise up in grand acknowledgment ot re
gard and reverence lor the Deity. And still,
others ot as great and greater dimensions and
magnificence are about to be reared. For this
circumstance, the inhabitants should feel grate
ful lor civilization in its greatest perfection.
Prosperity with most unblemished strides, so
cial happiness in its most unalloyed state—
protection with its truest sale-guards, aad repu
tation of an enviable nature, are all to be found
within the limits of those communics, where
Christian charity, kindly feelings, and earnest
support are generously extended lor the pro
motion and sustenance of the churches and the
principles and doctrines they inculcate. Ol the
internal condition of the churches, as societies,
we know very little; but we believe that they
are well supplied with temporal aid, and as a
general thing, are well attended.
“The Period.”—This is the title of another
monthly publication, or newspaper, of respecta
ble dimensions and interestibg contents, the first
number ot which we received yesterday. It is
edited and published by our lriends L. H. Stout,
M. D., and A. Hope, D. D.L., who says:
“The publication of the Period was con
ceived iu a desire to spread beiore pe iple ot all
sections ot ttie country reliable and useful in'or-
mation iu regard to the South, and especially
Georgia and its Capital, Atlanta. Arrange
ments have been made for a m inlhly issue dur
ing six months, including April and Septemher
ot the present year. It will be circular d
through the mails free ot charge to those to
whom it is sent. Those recei - iDg it, it is hoped
will appreciate the compliment paid them, by
reading and preserving the paper for their own
information and that ot their neighbors. Par
ties desiring copies mailed to them by sending
their names and address will be promptly sup
plied every mouth, free of charge. ”
Homicide on Mac on and Westebn Rail-
road. — We received information throngh one
of the conductors of this road, that a difficulty
occurred at Crawford station, between a man
by the name of Perkins, aujl another by the
name ol Benton, in which the latter was shot
by the former, through the body, killing him
instantly. Cause of difficulty not stated.
Opprobrious Words.—Henrietta Perry, a
colored woman, was arrested aud carried before
Justice B D. Smith yesterday, charged with
having used opprobrious words to Joe Holden,
a colored man, tending to cause a breach of the
peace. The evidence showed “probable cause
to suspect her guilt,” and she was bound over
to answer the charge at the next term ot the
Superior Court.
Heavy Sales op Real Estate.—We learn
from a reliable source, that during the present
we»k. Colonel George W. Adair has sold, for
cash, forty-two thousand seven hundred and
fifty dollars worth of real estate, to p irties resi
ding in o'her States. These purchasers have it
in coni- uiplation to settle among us, and assist
iu carrying on the great work of building up our
eiiy, aud increase our trade, commerce and
prosperity. We should be happy to have to
record such sales every week. Foreign capital
is what we want to make Atlanta what she is
destined to be, the leading city of the South.
Pbbsoxal—S. W. BLOODWOnTii.— We ha t a
call yesterday from Mr. Solomon W. U.oou-
worth, of Griffin, Ga, whom we have known
early and ioag. From him we derived much
practical information in regard to the present
growing crops. He informs us that in Griffin
he has wheal three Ic-et high, on a lot on which
las' year he ia ; sed on one acre of ground, 137
bushels of corn, for which he received a pre
mium of $75 at the State Fair. Ou three acres
ot ground last year, he raised a b de of cotton to
the acre. We know well the place on which
Mr. Blood worth raised these crops, and when he
took this land in hand, it would not have brought
lor tanning purposes, five dollars an acre. By
his skill iu larming, and the nse of fertilizers,
he has brought this poor worn-out land to
produce 137 bushels of corn to the acre
and one bale of cotton to the acre. This shows
j what enterprise can do. He informs us that the
late cold spell has done no serious damage to
crops < r gardens in his vicinity. The.fruit crop
ha-* Dot been damaged by the late cold spell.
What was left from the freezes in March are yet
in a sta'e ot good preservation. He has 9een
many planters Irom dffiere-nt parts of the State,
wiiosav they have sutlered no material damage
Irom the last frost aud freeze. From his exten
sive information, be arrives at the conclusion
i hat the whe-it crop is more promising than last
year at this season, and un’ess some future dis
aster belalls it, the crop will he flarger than that
of last year. From bis extensive travels, he is
of the opinion that there is more corn planted
this year than last. The quantity ot cotton is
le-s, but fro-a the vast amount ot fertilizers be
ing used, he is of the opinion that the cotton
crop of the present year will reach that ot last
year with favorable seasons. We are highly
gratified at the information derived from Mr
Bloodworth, especially as regards the effect of
the late cold sp:ll. Our Georgia exchanges give
us but little information on this subject about
which we have felt a good deal of uneasiness.
Robbing a Preacher.—A man must be low
down in the grade of villainy to rob a poor old
minister of the Gospel. But it seems such an
one was found in Americis, Ga. His name was
James Martin, a colored man. He entered the
heuse of Ri v. Samuel Anthony, in the night,
and stole therefrom seven hundred dollars in
cash. He was tried for burglary at the last term
of the Superior Court ol Sumter county, con
victed, and sentenced to ten years imprisonment
in the penitentiary. Mr. Anthony was for sev
eral years a resident minister in our city, and he
is well and favorably known to our people.—
But a year or so ago, he was accidentally shot
while marrying a couple, and for some time his
life was dispaired of, but alter a long affliction
he recovered. “ Whom the Lord loveth, He
ebasteneth.” The numerous friends and ac
quaintances of this good man in Atlanta and
elsewhere, will deeply sympathize with him in
bis misfortunes.
Tbe ItlcFarland Trial—Curion* Ladles.
A telegraphic dispatch Irom New York,
dated the 19th instant, says: “ The court-room
this morning was crowded as usual, with a
large number of ladies occupying seats within
the railing, in a good position to hear the evi
dence, which is now about to become interest
ing. The insanity plea is given up for a while,
and testimony to the connection ot Richardson
with Mrs. McFarland is to be adduced. This,
no doubt, caused the additional number of la
dies present.”
“ Carious ladies ” indeed 1 A place every pure
and modest woman should avoid, is crowded
with the “ ladies" of New York, and to hear
whatf “ testimony ” in relation to the connection
of a wanton woman with a lascivious man 1
Neither Sodom nor Gomorrah produced worse

Au Important measure.
In the House of Representatives on Monday
an important bili was passed, increasing the ap
portionment of the House for the Forty-second
Congress Irom two hundred and forty, the pres
ent basis, to two hundred and seventy five mem
bers. The Eastern members fought it with
every available parliamentary motion, but it was
carried by a small majority. The effect of the
bill is to decrease the representation ot Vermont,
New York, Massachusetts and Maine, and to
increase it in Ohio, Kentucky, Kansas, Illinois,
Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Alabama, Texas and
Wisconsin. An effort is to be made to defeat it
in the Senate.
The Fate of Two Hats.—“ D. P.” writes
from Washington to the Cincinnati Commercial
as follows:
At a dinner party the other night, Senator
Nye put his new silk tile carelessly upon the
sola. A lew minutes alter, the veteran philoso
pher, Greeley, sat down and crushed the hat
tearfully.
“ Damn it,” roared Nye, “ I could have told
you it wouldn’t tit before you tried it on.”
Speaking of hats, I am reminded ot an anec
dote illustrative ol the ancient Jerry Black’s
habits and absence of mind. Coming into his
room one night with the papers of an impor
tant case, he sat down, put his hat upon the
floor, and began studying the case, while read
ing the paners. Getting excited, he got np,
stuffed some tobacco in bis mouth, and began
walking over the floor, reading at intervals and
expectorating all the time. After nearly an
hour’s exercise of this sort he threw down the
brief and clapped his hat upon his legal head.—
As he did so seveial yellow streams started
down his venerable countenance. On investi
gation he was disgusted to find that he had mis
taken his hat for a spiltooD.

Crop Noted,
At one time it was thought that the severe
freeze in March had killed the peaches in the
bud in this section. It turns out that they were
only partially injured, and it we have no more
cold snaps this neck ot the woods will be
blessed with plenty of this delicious fruit..
From the Morristown Gazette.
The wheat crop in ibis seclion, we learn from
farmers, is looking remarkably fine and thrifty.
Our farmers are now busiiy engaged in plowing
and getting ready lor corn planting.
From the Fayetteville Observer.
There will be plenty of fruit in this county
this year, unless hereafter blasted. Tbe peach
was the only crop thought to be in danger from
the recent frosts, and there will be an abundance
ot that.
The wheat of this country looks remarkably
well, and a very large breadth was sown.
Strange Condition of Wawlilngton.
A correspondent writes, on the 13lh from
Washington, that a stranger in the ciiy would
have been lead to doubt, in passing through its
streets, whether it was an American or African
community. The building showed American
architecture, a~d the shops exhibited European
and American goods, but the faces seen were
not ot the American type. The procession in
honor ot the ratification of the Fifteenth Amend
ment, and of the Emancipation Proclamation,
fil!ed the avenues and streets for a great distance,
while the sidewalks showed thousands of the
same complexion. Few white faces were to be
seeo, and a casual visitor might have supposed
this to be a Tiinhuctoo, or some fabulous place
where the pure Africans congregate.
The capital stock of the Pullman Palace Car
Company is now $8.000,OOG, with cars running
over 15,000 miles of railway, and employing
3.000 men—not counting the artizans at the
shops and manufactories. To meet the grow
ing business of their recently extended opera
tions. $1,000,600 more stock was issued and im
mediately all taken by the stockholders, who
have “ ordered ” 2,500 additional shares.
About $500,000 of the stock is owned by New
Yorkers and an equal amount bf capitalists in
Boston. All this comes from the original capi
tal stock of $1,000,000 which the organization
started with only three years ago. Who says
tbe American people do not appreciate tbe lux
ury ot riding and eating and sleeping in palace
cars?
A National Shame.—This surely is not
right. So careless have the Confederate dead
been buried at Gettysburg that tLere is a wide
spread feeling in the South, whuh lias b und
expression in a mournful cry, that her dead
ought to be brought back to the less inhospitable
soil. Now, that the South should wish to have
within her bosom the ashes of those who died
tor her, is perfectly just This even they who
will not give those dead the credit of patriotic
motives can hardly deny. Bui it is discreditable
to the North that we 9houid wreak our ven
geance on those who have expiated their “fault”
or “mistake” or “crime” by their deaths. And
what is it but wreaking vengeance on corses,
when those in charge ol the Gettysburg Ceme
tery say that “ their charter only provides for
the interment of the remains of those who died
in defense of the Union.” But no civilized na
tion would hesitate to do honor to its gallant
enemies—no, not even the Cossack. The ladies
of the South, the soldiers of the South—among
them their chief—are gathering their mites to
bring these ashes of their dead home. It will be
a lasting disgrace it we do not render it unnec
essary.—2V. I. World,

SECOND DAY’S PROCEEDINGS.

SENATE.
The Seriate met pursuant to adjournment and
was opened with prayer by Rev. Mr. Pretty-
man.
Tbe Roll wa3 called, and the Journal of
Monday read and approved.
Mr. Dunning introduced a resolution to ad
journ till Monday next at 12, M.
Mr. Candler introduced a substitute that the
General Assembly adjourn sine die.
Several other substitutes were offered, and a
general debate ensued on the situation of af
fairs in Georgia, the absence ot the Governor,
the expense of staying at the Capitol doiDg
nothing, the probable action of Congress, &c.
Mr. Dunning’s resolution was finally adopted,
and the Senate adjourned accordingly.
HOUSE.
The House was called to order at 12 o’clock,
M., Speaker McWhorter in the Chair.
Prayer by Rev, Mr. Fuller.
The calling of the Roll was suspended.
The House Journal ot Monday was read by
the Clerk.
Mr. Bethune moved to adjourn until 12
o’clock, Monday next.
Mr. O’Neal, of Lowndes, offered a substitute
providing for the adjournment ot the Legislature
until the first Monday in July, subject however,
to be sooner convened by the Provisional Gov
ernor, or the General Commanding, per diem not
to run during that time.
Mr. Scott suggested that both Houses adjourn
sine die.
Mr. O’Neal advocated his motion in a brief
address. He did not believe that it wa9 expedi
ent to begin the work of legislation at present.
They ought not to receive pay or mileage for
doing nothing. There was no probable reason
for expecting the lower House of Congress to
take decisive action on the Georgia bill before
Monday. Patriotism, principle and common
honesty dictated that they should adjourn.
Mr. Scott offered his substitute in writing ;
it provided for the sine die adjournment of the
House.
Mr. Darnell suggested that a motion to ad
journ was not debatable.
Mr. Lee, of Newton, asked if the Provisional
Governor had the right to convene the Legisla
ture after a sine die adjournment.
Mr Scott thought the Governor had the pow
er. The substitute was ruled out of order.
Mr. Scott was very glad to see that time had
made a very important change in Mr. O’Neal.—
Once when he proposed that members should
not draw per diem during a recess, Mr. O’Neal
opposed it, but now this new convert was in
lavor of it. The election next fall had nothing
to do with it of course. O’Neal was too honest
to pander to the people in that way.
Mr. O’Neal didn’t think Mr. Scott had any
light to speak on the question.
Mr. Scott evidently thought he had and pro
ceeded. It was the height of injustice to the
people of Georgia to meet aud adjourn from
day to day without doiDg anything. We had
no assurance that the status of Georgia would he
settled by next Monday, or even by the first
Monday in July. Why not adjourn sine die?
If Georgia was a provisional government that
alone was no reason for adjourning to Monday.
Better go on with the business of legislation.
If Georgia was a permanent government, then
why not go on if legislation was necessary- He
didn’t believe in loafing around the groceries,
doing nothing and benefitting nothing but the
hotels. The people of Georgia warned this
Legislature to adjourn now and forever. If we
had a Governor he could call us together, he
hoped as representatives, and not as Spaniels to
lick the hand that smites us. [Applause in the
galleries.] He concluded by again offering his
motion to adjourn sine die.
Previous question called. Call not sustained.
Yeas and nays demanded.
Mr. Bethune desired to know if those in favor
ot the motion to adjourn sine die were to say
yes, and those opposed no. Tbe Speaker post
ed him on this intricate matter, and the call pro
ceeded. Yeas 48; nays 68.
The previous question was then called on Mr.
O’Neal's motion to adjourn until the first Mon
day in July next.
Mr. Shumate suggested that Mr. O’Neal’s mo
tion was a nullity as it provided for the adjourn
ment ot the General Assembly, and the Senate
had adjourned to Monday.
On motion, Mr. O’Neill’s resolution was laid
on the table, Teas 67, nays 45. During the
call Mr. Harrison, of Franklm, desired infor
mation as to what question was beiore the
House, and then voted a most emphatic No!
Mr. Darnell offered a resolution that the use
of the House be tendered to the Carpenters and
Joiner's Association, for the purpose of a lec
ture to be delivered by Mr. Jonathan Norcross.
The previous question was called.
Mr. Betbune’s resolution was carried.

THIRD DAT’S PROCEEDINGS.
Monday, April 25.
SENATE.
The Senate met at 12, M., pursuant to ad
journment, and was called to order by the Pre
sident.
Prayer by Rev. Wesley Prettyman.
The Roll was called, aud the Journal of last
day’s proceedings read and approved.
Mr. Brock introduced a resolution that the
President be empowered to appoint a Commit
tee of three, with snch a committee as tbe House
may appoint to wait upon General Terry, to see
what power we have to legislate, and what leg
islatioa he will acknowledge as legal.
Mr. Br .ck urged, in a lorcible manner, the
necessity of immediate action by the Legislature
in looking into the affairs of the State Treasury,
investigating the workings ot tbe State Road,
and in the passage of the school bill. On be
ing interrupted by Mr. Higbee, with a proposi
tion to “ stay ” his lurther remarks until the re
port of the committee,
Mr. Brock replied, that he came here this time
to see that the interests of the people were pro
tected, and his position was, and he desired it
distinctly understood, to have a legislative session
or a bust up.
Mr. Harris—A substitute -A joint committee
of three Irom the Senate and five from the
House be appointed and requested to wait upon
Governor Bullock, and after consultation, advise
the proper course for this Legislature'to pursue.
Mr. Harris, in advocating the adoption of his
substitute, stated that the difference between his
and Mr. Brock’s resolution, w as very small, but
he thought better lor the committee to wait upon
the Provisional Governor.
Mr. Nunnally—A resolution that a committee
of two Irom the Senate, to act with a committee
rom the House, be appointed to wait upon his
Excellency the Governor, and inform him that
both bouses of the Legislature were organized
and were ready for basin ess.
Mr. Nunnally stated that he did not Consider
this a provisional Legislature, nor the Governor
a9 provisional, hence his substitute for Brock’s
resolution.
Mr. Higbee stated, as the question had turned
'upon the point of whether the Legislature was
provisional or not, and as it wa3 understood
that there had been irregularites in organization
of the Legislature, he was in favor of waiting
Congressional action, or untill the status of the
State was thoroughly settled.
Bradley was opposed to asking the Governor
“or any other man,” what the General Assem
bly should do. The General Assembly was
independent in its sphere, and not subject to the
dictation of any man; especially any one man,
whether he be civil or military; favored Nun-
nally’s resolution.
Mr. Harris begged leave to Interrupt the re
marks of Aaron to make a motion, which was
eluctantly acceded to.
Which moli n ended in the Senate, extend
ing the time lor adjournment, so as to allow the
adjustment of the present subject matter be
fore the Senate.
Mr. Brock accepted the substitute offered by
Mr. Harris.
Mr. Campbell favored the amendment of
Harris to the original resolution; thought it
icas common sense, whether it sccma technically
legal or not.
Mr. Hungcrford discussed there construction
acts; when Mr. Brock, wishing to aid him in
elucidating the subject, interrupted him. After
several passes at eachother, Mr. Hungerford
failed to be enlightened aud continued in favor
of a second resolution.
Mr. Holcombe moved to strike out the word
provisional in the Brock-Harris resolution; he
was opposed to cailiDg the Governor provisional
until Congress or the proper power should so
declare; the people (so it was said) elected
Bullock, aud they' could certainly not elect a
provisional Governor.
Mr. Harris did not know how the Legislature
could be “ provisional ” and the Governor not
“ provisional.”
Mr. Candler, commenting on tbe resolution,
stated that the idea ot a Piovisional Government
doing anything without regard to the constitu
tion and the laws, is the most dangerous idea that
nas ever been advanced. The idea ol a Provi
sional Government was not derived Irom the
popular idea oi “ provisions,” meaning corn,
bacon, or money to bay them; but the meaning
of the word Provisional, was the same in this
connection as temporary. There was as much
law in one as in the other; as much regard lor
the constitution iu one as iu the other.
On the previous question being called, the
vote taken to strike out the word provisional,
was lost.
The yeas and nays being called on Mr. Nun-
nally’s substitute, lhe vote stood—yeas 15. nays
18. Substitute was lost.
Tbe vote being taken on the passage of the
Brock-Hams resolution, it passed.
A message from the House, was received, to
the effect that, the House had appointed a com
mittee to act with a like committee on the part
of the Senate, to wait on Provisional Governor
Bullock and General Terry, and learn their
views on the course to pursue.
(The same in effect as the Harris-Brock reso
lution.)
On the motioD to concur, Bradley made a
heavy effort, in his opposition, to non concur
ring, was repeatedly called to order by the
President, came near telling what occurred in a
caucus this morning, but wa9 choked down by
tbe opposition brought to bear upon him, and,
finally, wa3 requested to bring his remarks to a
close and take his seat.
Mr. Ilighee moved a concurrence with the
House resolution.
On the motion to concur, the vote stood—yeas
25, nays 7.
The resolution having been concurred in,
Messrs. Harris, Nunnally aud Brock, were ap
pointed the committee in behalf of the Senate,
to wait upon the Provisional Governor and Gen.
Terry.
The Senate then adjourned until Wednesday,
12 o’clock, M.
HOUSE.
Speaker McWhorter called the House to order
at 12 o’clock, M.
Prayer by Rev. Mr. Crumley.
Roll call suspended.
The House Journal of April 20th was read
and approved.
Mr. Bryant moved that the House proceed to
the transaction of such business as might he
proper. He favored it, although quite a differ
ence ol opinion existed. It was useless to await
the action of Congress on the Georgia bill. A
recess was impracticable. Better adjourn sine
die if not ready to proceed with business. Such
action of the Legislature would be as legal as
anything they bad done down to the present
time. A new tax hill was needed; also, appro
priation and school measures. The affairs of
the State Road should be investigated, not by a
white-wa9hing committee, but by outsiders, men
Known to the people of Georgia as men of
integrity and moderation. In view of certain
charges made by the State Treasurer, this inves
tigation was necessary. The representatives of
the people should look into the matter. Other
questions would also claim the attention of the
House. The Treasurer charges the Governor
with drawing money in violation of law. This
should be investigated.
Mr. Rice objected to the tenor of Mr. Bryant’s
remarks. He desired him to confine himself to
the question.
Mr. Bryant closed.
Mr. Darnell offered a resolution that a jrvnt
committee ot three from the Senate and five
from the House confer with the Governor as
to the proper course for the Legislature to
pursue.
Mr. Phillips was in favor of proceeding at
once to business. As yet they had accomplished
nothing. They could proceed either as a perma
nent, or as a provisional legislature. They
should not wait upon Congress. The peo
ple were complaining of this delay. It was to
the interest of the State that they should pro
ceed. An appropriation was needed to satisfy
the expenses of the State. The charges ol the
Treasurer required au investigation.
Mr. Darnell asked if a committee had not been
refused the Governor.
Mr. Phillips explained. The Governor’s
friends desired a white-washing committee, and
that was the reason why the committee was re
fused.
Mr. Price offered a resolution that a commit
tee of three be appointed, to wait upon Gov.
Bullock, and inform him that the House was
organized and ready ior business.
Mr Bryant withdrew his motion in favor of
Mr. Price’s resolution.
Mr, Scott, of Floyd, rose to a point of order.
He was actuated by no captious motives. He
believed in either proceeding to business or ad
journing. The point was this, under article 3d.
of the Constitution of Georgia, was a section
lorbidding a session of longer than forty days,
unless otherwise determined by a two-third vote
of both houses. Members were sworn to sup
port that Constitution, and it must be carried out.
He held that the State of Georgia was, at pres
ent, a permanent government. But even if a
Provisional Legislature it could exercise all the
functions of a permanent Legislature. Every
man upon the floor was bound by his oath to
support the Constitution, and under that Con
stitution, it was provided that no session should
be longer than forty days. They had been in
session forty-seven days. He was not willing
to proceed to business unless the House would
extend the time as provided by the Constitution.
The Speaker overruled Mr. Scott’s point of
order. The fact that the House had been in
session forty seven days, by unanimous conseut,
disposed ot that
Mr. Scott appealed to the House.
Tbe decision of the Chair was sustained.
Mr. Price advocated his resolution. He de
sired to be courteous to Governor Bullock, but
he was unwilling to allow Governor Bullock to
do his thinking. He proposed himself to decide
what course was proper under the circum
stances. Governor Bullock was a Provisional
Governor, acting outside ol the Constitution
under the laws of Congress. Let Governor
Bullock know that the House was organized,
but do not consult him as to what should be
done. Something was said the other day about
public opinion being against the Legislature.—
He had some respect lor public opinion, but he
also respected the wants of his constituents. He
would attempt to get up a system of common
school education ior all the children of the
State. He did not intend to be presented for
neglect of duty in this respect by a Grand Jury
of his county. He would not suffer constitu
"tional quibbles to prevent him from doing his
duty. Members should stand upon their self'
respect, and act without consulting public opin
ion or anything else. In reply to an explana
tion from Mr. Scott, he stated that if Governor
Bullock was not now playing second fiddle at
Washington, he would be able to call the Legis
lature together again; hut now, under Washing
ton influences, the Governor had not that power.
The State was Dot rehabilitated. Go on and
legislate while Congress still permitted it. He
was ready to work eight hours a day lor ten or
fifteen days, and then go home.
Mr. Price called the previous question on the
adoption of his substitute.
Sir. Tweedy did not like to have the previous
question called; it gagged the Republican side
of the House.
Mr. Price withdrew the previous question.
Mr. Tweedy claimed that his side of the
House stood fair on the question of con
science.
Mr. Scott explained that he did not charge
a want of conscience upon any man on that,
floor.
Mr. Tiv edv ridiculed the id«aof a discourse
about conscience from the Democrats ; Repub
licans were not to blame tor the delay; with
pu pit. press and groggeries, against thein. they
were not responsible for the delay, and he was
glad that he had not perished by the wayside ;
he was glad that he was here to defend his
friends from such a charge; he was glad the
gentleman from Lumpkin was beginning to take
an interest in the school bill.
The Chair informed him that he wa3 taking
too wide a range.
Mr. Tweedy saw no surrender of self-respect
in waiting upon Gov. Bullock by committee,
and asking him, and through him, Gen. Terry,
what should be done. He moved to lay Price’s
resolution on the table, and called the previous
question. Carried—yeas, 56; nays, 53.
Mr. Tweedy called the previous question on
the resolution of Mr. Darnell. This provided
for the appointment of a joint committee to con
sult the Governor.
Mr, Turner, colored, wanted an opportunity
to alter the resolution. He was opposed to con-
suiting Gov. Bullock. He would not ask him
what to do. Resolution carried—yeas, 58;
nays, 52.
Mr. Bryant moved to adjourn till 12 o’clock
to-morrow.
Mr. Price made the point that a motion to ad
journ could not be entertained wliile the Chair
was engaged in deciding a question. Sustained.
Leave ot abscence was granted to Messrs.
Lastinger and Tumlin, on account of sickness;
also Mr. Williams, on business.
Mr. Fowler offered a resolution that, whereas
certain persons, high iu authority, are trying to
prolong the term ot the present Legislature,
therefore, be it
Resolved, Tha* this body was elected under
the Constitution.
House adjourned till 10 o’clock Wednesday
morning.

HORRIBLE.
The 15ill Amendment Violated by tbe
Georgia Slate Road—Hon. Alpeorla
Bradley Reruaed Admission to the La*
die*’ far He In Lett In Chattanooga and
Lilleth up Ilia Voice in Onnet.
One of the most horrible outrages that ever
called for the reconstruction of a rebellious
State was peipetrated in the Union passenger
depot ot tlits city, last night.
The Hon. Aaron Alpeoria Bradley, Senator
irom Alriea in the Georgia Legislature, has re
cently beeu ou a pilgrimage to Washington in
search of salvation tor the loyal men ot Georgia,
of whom lie is which. His labors are now
nearly at au end, and although not as successful
as they might have been, he had reason to con
gratulate hknselt upon the partial reconstruc
tion ot the State. With such pleasing food'for
reflection, he purchased a ticket at Washington
for Atlanta, and hastened to return to the bosom
ot his constituent®, who were as inconsolable at
his long abieuce as Rachel mourning for her
children.
The long journey through the loyal regions of
Virginia and Tennessee was marked by no inci
dent calculated to mar the serenity of his feel
iDgs, and when he alighted from the train in the
depot at Chattanooga last night, his heart
thrilled with joy at the prospect of the hearty
greeting he was soon to receive from the loyal
constituency he had beeu instrumental in saving
from rebel rule.
With carpet-bag in one hand and his pass in
the other, he presented himself at the door of
the ladies car ot the Western & Atlantic
Railroad train, and demanded admission
with the air ot authority that becomes a
loyal Senator in addressing an employee of that
loyal institution. It was thm that the 15th
amendment received a blow in the person of one
of its chief representatives, which may have
already shaken the very foundations ot the
State.
Aaron Alpeoira was denied admission.
The Georgia Senator was not permitted to
ride in the ladies’ car of the State road, and
when he attempted to enter he was gently but
earnestly pushed aside.
Filled with wrath and indignation, he has
tened into the open air where he might give
free vent to his emotions.
“The dirty scalawags I” he said. “To think
they should treat me so, alter all my labor in
their hehall!’’
And thus he continued at some length, until
the thought occurred to him to try it again.
But when he entered again the depot, behold
the train was gone,
We prefer not to attempt to imagine much
less to describe, the wrath that provoked his
loyal soul as this astounding fact burst upon
him in all its appalling magnitude. “Lelt!”
he gasped. “Well, it will be the dearest leave
they ever made. The dirty scalawags 1 I could
have borne this from a rebel, but from men who
pretend to be loyal, it is too much.” Here some
one asked him “who was it Senator, the con
ductor or the train hands ?
“All ot them, all of them,” he wildly replied,
“ and they are sustained in it at headquarters.—
Yes, by Bullock and Blodgett! They’ll deny it,
of course, but they lie. But I’ll fix them; I’ll
telegraph to Washington, and we 9hall see if I
am to tie treated in this way. Is there a tele
graph office here ?”
A sympathetic African informed him that
there was, aud led the enraged Senator in
search of it, and he vanished from the sight of
our iulormant, still uttering those ominous words,
“ The dirty scallawags ! I’ll fix ’em ! ’
We sincerely trust that this sad occurrence
ma} r not he made au argument lor the recon
struction of Tennessee.
That it will be fraught with consequences of
vast importance to the people of Georgia, we
cannot doubt. In ilie first place the State road
will have to he reorganized so as to protect the
rights of loyal men. The Executive, of course,
will have to he changed, and what a rebuke it
would he to the disloyal population of Georgia
if Aaron Alpeoria was made military Governor
oi the territory.
We hope nothing so bad as this is in store for
our lriends in Georgia, but they should learn
not to trifle with such keen edged tools as the
distinguished Senator from Africa.
There is still a bare possibility that they may
be happy yet. We were informed last night
that Bullock and Blodgett would arrive this
morning, and perhaps, the happy family may
become reconciled to eachother again. In that
event the offending conductor or brakeman will
suffer instead of the people of Georgia.
Georgia—Tlic Cessna Bill.
The following is the amendment submitted
by Mr. Cessna in die House of Representatives
to the b'.ll to admit the Slate of Georgia to rep
resentation in ilie Congress of the United States,
to suppress violence and protect American citi
zens in the several Slates. The bill, it will be
seen combines all the main features ot the bill
for the admission of Georgia, originally reported
by tbe Reconstruction Committeee with the
amendments of Senators Williams and Sherman
adopted in the Senate ; and provides also lor an
election of members of the Legislature in 1872,
The Chronicle at Washington says that this bill
“is a solution of the Georgia case, entirely satisfac
tory to the Republicans of that State and the coun
try,” and understands that it is “ a compromise
measure upon which all the Republicans in the
House and Senate will unite, and that on the
return of Gen. Butler it will be reported upon
favorably substantially as offered by Mr. Cessna.”
Be this as it may, it is important that our read
ers should be posted in regard to everything
pertaining to the “ Georgia Question,” and we
publish tbe bill indicative as it is of a new pro
gramme which we are constrained to believe
will be carried out by Congress:
Whereas, The people of Georgia have
framed and adopted a coustilution of State gov
eminent, which is republican ; and, whereas,
the Legislature ot Georgia, elected under eaid
constitution, in the month of January last, did
ratify the fourteenth and fifteeth amendments to
the Constitution of the United States; and,
whereas, the performance ot these several acts
in good faith is a condition precedent to the rep
resentation of the Stale in Congress ; therefore,
B; it enacted by the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives of lhe United Stales of America in
Congress assembled. That ;he said State of Geor
gia isfentitled to representation in the Congress
of the United States ; Provided, That the next
election for members of the General Assembly
ot Slid State shall be held on the Tuesday after
the first Monday in November, Aono Domini
1872, and the last clause of the second subdi
vision of tbe first section of the third article ol
said constitution,in the following words: “The
General Assembly may, by law, chaDge the
time of election, and the members shaii hold
until their successors are elected and qualified,”
shall never be by any Legislature exercised so as
to extend the term of any office beyond the reg
ular period named in the said constitution ; and
the said General Assembly shall l*y joint
resolution, consent to this proviso a3 a
fundamental condition before this act shall
take effect: Provided, That before any member
of tbe Legislature of said State shall take or re
sume his seat, or any officer ot said State shall
enter upon the duties of his office, he shall take
and subscribe, and file in the office of the Sec
retary of Slate of Georgia, for preservation, an
oath of affirmation in the form blowing: “I.
^i , do solemnlj' swear (or affirm) that I
have never taken an oath, as a member of Con
gress, or as an officer of the United States, or as
a member of any State Legislature, or as an ex
ecutive or judicial offi f r of any State, to sup
port the Constitution ol tin U..tied Stales, and
alteiward engaged in insurrection or rebellion
against the same, or given aid or comfort to the
enemies thereof. Bo help me God.” Or under
the pains and penalties of perjury, (as the case
may be.) Or such person shall, in like manner,
take, subscribe, and tile the following oath or af
firmation : “I, , do solemnly swear (or
affirm) that I have by act of Congress of the Uni
ted States been relieved from the disabilities im
posed upon me by the 14th amendment of the
Constitution of the United States. So help me
God.” Or under the pains and penalties ot
perjury, (as the case may be,) which oaths
or affirmations shall be taken before, and
certified by, any officer lawfully authorized to
administer oaths. And any person who shall
knowingly swear or affirm falsely in taking
either of such oaths or affirmations, shall hie
deemed guilty of perjury, and shall be punish
ed therefor by imprisonment not less than one
year, and not more than ten years, and shall be
fined not less than one thousand dollars and not
more than ten thousand dollars. Aud in all
trials for any violation of this act, the certificate
of the takiDg of either of said oaths or affirma
tions, with proof of the signature of the party
accused, shall he taken and held as conclusive
evidence that such oath or affirmation was regu
larly and lawiully administered by competent
authority: And provided further, That every
such person who shall neglect for a period of
thirty days next alter the passage of this act, to
take, subscribe and file such oath or affirmation
as aforesaid, shall be deemed and taken to all
intents and purposes to have vacated his office:
And provided further, That the State of Georgia
is admitted to representation in Congress as
one of the States of the Union upon the follow
ing fundamental conditions: First. That the
constitution of Georgia shall never be so amend
ed or changed as to deprive any citizen or class
of citizens of the Uniten States of the right to
vote who are entitled to vote by the constitu
tion herein recognized, except as a punishment
for such crimes as are now lelonies at common
law, whereof they shall have been duly con
victed under laws equally applicable to all the
inhabitants of said State : Provided, That any
alteration of said constitution, prospective in its
effects, may be made in regard to the time and
place of residence of voters. Second. That it
shill never be lawful for the said State to de
prive any citizen ot the United States, on ac
eouDt of his race, color, or previous condition ot
servitude, of the right to hold office under the
constitution and laws of arid State, or upon any
such ground to require of him any other quali
fications lor office than such as are required
of all other citizens. Third. That the constitu
tion ot Georgia shall never be so amended or
changed as to deprive any citizen or class ot
citizens of the United Stales of the school
rights and privileges secured by the constitu
tion of said State.
Sec. 2. And be ii further enaeted, That so
much of the act entitled “ An act making ap
propriations for the support of the army for the
year ending June 30,3 868, and for other pur
poses,” approved March 2, 1867, as prohibits
the organization, arming, or calling into service
of the militia forces of tlie State of Georgia, he,
and the same is hereby, repealed.
Sec. 3 And be it farther enacted, Thai when
ever it shall appear to the President, from an
application by tlie Legislature ot any State, or
by the Governor of such State when the Legis
lature cannot be convened, that domestic vio
lence prevails in any city, county or municipal
organization in such State, that cannot be sup
pressed by the local authorities, it shall be the
duty of the President to suppress such domestic
violence, and for that purpose he is hereby au
thorized to employ the military force of the
United States, and any portion of the militia of
any State he may deem necessary, and to exer
cise all such powers and inflict such punishment
as may by the laws, or the rules and articles of
war, be exercised or inflicted iu case of insur
rection or invasion.

A Revolution in Cookery.—Since the
introduction of the parent Sea Moss Fabine, a
complete revolution has taken place in that
department of cookery to which we owe the
luxuries ot the dessert. The most delicious
blauc mange, jelly, custard, Charlotte Russe,
light puddings, &c., are produced from this
palatable nutrient, at about one-third of the
former cost. A great economy of time as well
as money is effected by its use. The prepara
tions made from it are pronounced by physi
cians to be the best possible diet for consump
tives, dyspeptics, and persons suffering from
biliousness and general debility. Convalescents
fatten on them, and gain rapidly in muscular
strength as well as in flesh. The Sea Moss
Farine Co., 53 Park Place, New York, who are
manufacturing this article from the best Irish
Moss, in enormous quantities, produce an array
of medical and general testimony in its favor,
which is perfectly overwhelming, and must set
all doubts of its superiority as an alimentary
staple (if any exist) entirely at rest.
