The bill was read the first time. This bill will doubtless elicit much discussion when it comes to its third reading. The idea of a biennial session is not very palatable to candidates for re election and they nearly all hope to be returned. ALABAMA I. EC IS 1, ATI'UK. Monday Jan. 15.—The following were among the new bills introduced in the Senate: Mr. Owen to regulate the sale or giving away of poisons in the State of Alabama. Mr. Harrison, to prevent the run ning of freight trains on railroads on Sundays.

Mr. Padgett called up House bill to repeal the act prohibiting the Commissioners Court of Pike county from levying special taxes for public buildings and bridges, which was read once. The Senate discussed at consider able length the bill to regulate the shipment of freight and the rate thereof on railroads, and after adopt ing the amendments, postponed the bill until to-morrow. [The bill requires prompt ship ment of freights, and prohibits dis crimnation between shippers. It requires railroad companies to post up at each depot a tar iff of through rates of freight, and prohibits them from “demanding or receiving for local freight any more than ten per cent, pro rata of said tariff of through freights so fixed, published and posted.” Damages to the extent of five times the amount of freight so demanded or received may be recovered.] In the House, new bills were in troduced— Mr. Doster, for the correction of errors of tax collectors against tax payers where overpayment has been made.

Attractions of Georgia. A stranger passing the Agricultural and Geological Bureau offices, this morn iDg, remarked : “Here are the attractions of Georgia.” Well, yes, here are some of them. Any one looking up a home will find much to please him in Georgia. ,Here he can plant most advantageously the civic virtues and the domestic institu tions from which agricultural life bor rows so many of its most attractive charms. Here is a climate most favor able to persevering industry —the latitude which proves itself the genial homo of a high and vigorous manhood —a soil fit ted to every species of agricultural pro ductions. Jinks' Boy. Last night, says the Courier-Journal, Jinks gave a boy an old pistol and a sum mer coat to tie a billy goat to the door bell of the residence of his mo'her-in-law. The boy “persuaded” ten feet of rope and that goat up to the front door, tied one end of the rope to the bell-pull, gave it a jerk and then “lit out.” The bell rung at a fearful rate, and the goat was wrest ling that door-bell and rope in a frightful way trying to get loose. Presently the front door opened, a form looking like the ghost of Hamlet holding a candle in its hand, stood there. The goat took a running jump, head on, for the figure, and struck it so hard that the form and goat went clear inßide the hall after a lighted candle and a pair of specs that started about the same time for the back room. The fight between Jinks’ mother in-law and that goat was terrible, but of short duration. He got his horns fast in her bustle, pulled the old woman out in the front yard and was backing out of the gate with her, when a policeman cut the goat loose. The goat stood upon his head, and the old lady crawled into the house. The Mexican Revolutionists. Galveston, Jan. 16.—A special to the News from Browsville, reports Iglesias defeated, and has asked to retire to private life. Gen. Trevino, who was supporting Leondo, surren dered his forces and was shot. COLUMBUS, GA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 17, 1877. CONGRESSIONAL SENATE. Washington, Jan. 10.— In the Sen ate, the bill reported from the Judi oiary Committee last session, to amend the Paclflo Railroad acts, which was made a special order for to-day, was postponed until next Tuesday at 1 o’clock, on account of the absence of Mr. Hitchoock. Mr. Patterson, of South Carolina, presented a petition of D. H. Cham berlain, H. R. Greaves, F.Jj. Cardo zo and others, of South Carolina, set ting forth that many of the state ments in the petition of Wade Hamp ton and others, recently presented in the Senate, are untrue; others are calculated to mislead the Senate, and important facts are omitted. The petitioners then review at great length the condition of affairs in South Carolina, and claim that they were legally elected to their various offices. It was ordered that the pe tition be printed in the Record. Mr.-Patterson, of South Carolina, in presenting the petition of Cham berlain and others, said that he would not ask to have it read, but would move that it be printed in the Record. Mr. Alcorn,of Mississippi, objectod to anything being printed in the Record without being read to the Senate. The reading was then commenced. Mr. Sherman, of Ohio, interrupting the reading said, ho would suggest that the paper be printed in the Record without taking up time to have it read. Mr. Alcorn agaiji objected, and said he had no idea there was any thing improper in the memorial, but it should be first read in the Senate. Mr. Sherman said when a Senator produced a petition he became the guarantee that it was proper, and foi that reason need not be read. Mr. Alcorn having declined to withdraw his objection, the reading was resumed. The petition asks Congress to ac cept from them a full und fair state ment of affairs in South Carolina; declares they stand ready to make good their statement when required to do so. They charge violence and intimidation of Republican voters at the State election; review at great length the action of the Returning Board and Supreme Court, and claim that they were lawfully elected to their respective offices. The reading of the petition was continued until 12:45 p. m., when Mr. Alcorn withdrew his objection. Mr. Davis, of West Virginia, said unlesss the Senator presenting the petition would state that he had received it, and that it was a proper document, he would renew the objection. Mr. Patterson, of South Carolina, said to be frank, he had not read it, as he only received it this morning, but he knew Gov. Chamberlain to be an honorable man, and ho would not put anything in a petition which was not true; he had no doubt it was a proper and respectful document. No further objections to having it printed without being read was made, and was ordered that the petition be printed in the Record. Mr. Patterson, of South Carolina, submitted a resolution declaring that the State government now existing in South Carolina, and represented by D. H. Chambertain, is the lawful government of said State; that it was Republican in form, and every assist ance should be given to it by the United States, to the end that the laws may be faithfully executed. Referred to Committee on Privileges and Elections. Mr. Withers, of Virginia, in ac cordance with previous notice, called up the message of the President in regard to the occupation of Peters burg, Va., by the military on No vember 7th, the day of the general election, and submitted the follow ing resolution for immediate consid eration: Resolved, that Committee on the Judiciary be instructed to examine whether the construction of the laws touching the elective fran chise, promulgated by the Attorney General in General Orders No. 96, of date Sept. 7th, 1876, be correct, and that they report by bill or otherwise. After strong speeches from Sena tors Withers and Johnston, in which they denounced the occupation of Petersburg, Va., by troops during the late election, the resolution passed. Adjourned. noiir,. The Judiciary Committee reported a resolution for the arrest of mem bers of the Louisiana returning board and bringing them before the bar of the House to answer for contempt in refusing to produce the original re turns before the New Orleans Inves tigating Committee. A somewhat excited debate took place, in which the crowds in the galleries participated in the way of frequent applause and cheering of the Democratic speakers. This breach of decorum was made the sub ject of grave complaint on the Re publican side, and condemned by the speakers. No vote was reaobed before ad journ meent. The bill for commissioners on the silver question was defeated. LOUISIANA. THE SITUATION UNCHANGED. (HUNT'S dispatch needs explanation Washington, January IG. -It is un derstood here that the President’s order of Sunday to Gen. Auger was simply intended to'keep matters in Now Orleaus in statu quo. It began to be apprehended that if affairs were allowed to drift, thero would be nothing of the Packard government left to support should the ultiwate decision be in his favor. It is stated the Packard authorities havo been advised to act with great caution. New Orleans, Jan. 15.—Gov. Pack ard to-day made an ineffectual re quisition upon Gen. Auger for assis tance to reinstate tho Supremo Court in the building from which they had been dispossessed. It is supposed Gen. Auger has referred tho matter to the authorities at Washington, for instructions. New Orleans, Jan. 15,1:30 a, m.— There is no change in the political situation last evening. The Demo crats have recovered from the de pression caused by the President’s telegram to Gen. Auger, and are again hopeful, while tho Republicans maintain the telegram foreshadows an early recognition of their govern ment. New Orleans, 2 p. m. Jan. 16. Sheriff Handy refuses to recognize the writ of habeas corpus issued by Judge Shaw for assistant Sergeant at-arms of the Republican Senate who are in prison here. In the Democratic House to-day, a joint resolution was unanimously adopted, to the effeot that the policy of kindness, fair and equitable treat ment towards the colored people of tho State, as announced by Gov. Nicholls in his Baton Rouge speech and in a letter to Mr. Piuchback on the 12th inst,., is endorsed and will be strictly adhered to by the Legisla ture. Nnw Orleans, Jan. IG.— Gov. Pack ard has not received any reply to his requisition upon Gen. Auger for the restoration of the court-house. The city is remarkably quiet. Nt> change in the situation. BALLOTIIVUN Foil SENATORS.

Chicago, Jan. 16—The following was received to-day from General Terry: St. Paul, Jan. 16.—A dispatch re ceived from Col.

Baldwin, struck Sittting Bull’s camp in Redwater, and defeat ed him, with the loss of all the prop erty In camp and 60 mules and po nies. The Indians escaped with lit besides what they had on their per sons. THE EASTERN QUESTION. THE ULTIMATUM OF THE POWF.KN Turkey to Reply on Thursday. London, Jan. 16.— Reuter’s Constan tinople dispatch says the Marquis of Salisbury, at the conference yester day, in the name of Europe, commu nicated to the representatives of the Porte the last proposals of the pow ers, saying if the Porte rejected them he was instructed to withdraw from Constantinople. All the other plen ipotentiaries followed to the same effect. Safet Pacha replied that he thought it impossible for the Porte to yield. The Porte, however, would txamine the proposals and reply definitely at Thursday’s nleeting. Meanwhile the grand council of one hundred and eighty will meet to de cide upon the answer. THE CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE*. I WORK STILL DRAGGING. Washington, D. C., Jan. IG.—The Judiciary Commitoe of the House has agreed that the answer of the Louis iana Returning Board before Morri son’s committee at Now Orleans is insufficient, and tho members be brought to the bar of tho House to show cause why they should not be punished for contempt. Tho Committeo on Privileges and Powers of the Houso summoned Gov, Packard of Louisiana. J. A. Brewer, Superintendent Western Union Tel egraph Company, headquarters at Augusta, Ga., is here in obedience to a summons from the same commit tee. Gov. McCormick, Secretary Na tional Republican Committee, sub mitted a mass of dispatches to-day. A document showing that the Mackey Legislature of South Caro lina had no legal existence was placed on the desks of Senators and Representatives this morning, and attracts much attention. Pelton, Secretary of tho National Democrratic Committee, testified before the Privileges and Elections Committee that SB,OOO was sent to Oregon for legal purposes. He knew of no money sent to Oregon or else where for illegitimate purposes. The National Democratic Committee bore part of tho expense of men aent to the Southern States to witness the count. The Texas Pacific Railroad bill will be reported in tho Houso and be made a special order for an early day. It3 friends are sanguine. Washington, Jan. 16.—Wm. Orton, president Western Union Telegraph Company, has been subpoenaed as a member of the executive committee, through an omnibus subpoena for all the members thereof, to appear be fore the Committee of Privileges and Elections of the Senate. A full Cabinet to-day. No instructions have been Bent to New Orleans since Sunday, and none were ordered by the Cabinet. The details of the meeting, however, have not yet transpired. The joint committee on the Electo ral Count had two sessions to-day. The Committee on Privileges and Elections examined G. A. Wilson, District Attorney for Yazoo and other Mississippi counties. He had no knowledge of unfairness or intim idation before or at the election. The Joint Committee on counting tho Electoral vote, had two long ses sions to-day, and notwithstanding their determination to act definitely to-day, made such progress toward an agreement, as to consent to an other meeting to-morrow, which will certainly be the last. Detailsofthe situation are abso lutely inaccessible. An amendment is quite probable. Menacing Preparations. The White House and all the de partments at Washington are con nected by telegraph with the Senate and the House of Representatives separate, with a view to facilitate the transaction of public business. We now learn that, within the last few days, a now lino of military telegraph has been laid, connecting the War Department specially with the Capitol. This line may be re garded as the extension of another, recently established between the War Office and the Arsenal, where the troops and the munitions of war lately ordered there are stationed. Congress is legislating peaceably. Committees of the two Houses are striving to reach a satisfactory mode of counting the votes for President. There is no excitement in Washing ton, and no probability of any dis turbance in that community of office holders, claim agents, contractors, lobbyists, and professional jobbers. Only two or three inflammatory speeches have been made in either House, and they have been condemn ed by both Democrats and Republi cans. While this is the condition offsets, a large force of artillery has been concentrated at Washington during the past month, and It is known pos itively that other troops are to be or dered there within the next few weeks. When resolutions of inquiry are offered in the House to ascertain the reasons for the unusual presence of part of the army and fortnese mil itary preparations in the midst of quiet,.Mr. Garfield or some other agent of Grant jumps to his feet with an objection, and as two-thirds then becomes necessary to carry the res olution, it is laid over. Now, it is useless to disguise the meaning of these various move ments, which have been chiefly di rected by Don Cameron. They form a part of the conspiracy to make Hayes President, by force sustaining fraud. The paoitio assurances and the promises of agreement by those who are acting under the ordeis of Chandler, Morton, Sherman and their confederates, are only devices con trived to withdraw attention from the plot, aud to enable the conspirators to perfect their Dlans, while the de ceived people are trustfully looking forward to an honorable solution of the present problems. Let the coun try not bo deceived by the conspira tors, or it may wake up some morn ing, as Paris did in 1851, and find the revolution in full success at the capi ta 1.-A r . Y. Sun, 13th. snip News.
