The House went Into a Committee
of the Whole, Mr. Hammond, of
Thomas, in the chair.
Mr. StevJart spoke strongly and
warmly in favor of the convention,
saying that we want a constitution
made by the intelligent people of
Georgia; one made since the bayonet
has been changed into a plow.
Mr. Matthews, of Talbot* spoke to
the same effect.
Mr. Turnbull, of Banks, said: The
people want a convention; it has
been a plank in every county’s poli
tics. lam one of the common people
—one of the wool hat boy 9; away with
all this demagogulsm; we want a
change.
I have no fear of the colored peo
ple. If there is any spot in the world
where the colored people are treated
better than In Georgia, I would like
to find it. I have seen a white Dem
ocratic man, this term, turned away
from the doors of this House, and a
colored member seated in his place.

tion.
Allred, of Pickens, said, that if he
dad never heard the gentleman from
Banks before he would have been alarm

the gentleman well; be reminds me of
what the poet says:
"Thus darts tho meteor through the skies:
Spreads along tbs gilded trains.
But when its short lurid beauties die
Diesolveae to common air again."
I am in favor of a Convention, but let
the question be submitted, to the people.
Mr. Allred spoke 'Well and to the point.
A motion,was then made to receive the
report of the committee of the whole.
The commilteo reported progress, and
asked further time.

Annie Brewster got a peep at the ex-
Empress Eugenie in Pome the other day,
and here is what she soya about her: Not
only her manner but her appearance was a
terrible shock to me, I have not seen the
Empress of France I'or over twenty years.
She was then in tell brilliancy of her beauty,
a young wife, a young mother, a.young Em
press! Through all these intervening years
ol her grandeur and vicissitudes I have never
lost the memory of her rare beauty. When
ever I have thought of her during these last
years I have pictured her as a quiet, hand
some, melancholy widow, dignified and ele
gant. But no such agreeable personage ap
peared the other day. She was dressed qui
etly enough in a very simple, ugly English
black cloth costume. The skirt was ex
tremely short, without flouuce or any other
trimming, except a broad black braid. This
costume had a long loose jacket, and she
wore a simple English hat of felt. Her feet
were trim and she minced about on her toes
and high heels. But she was painted red
and white and black. Her eyes were dark
ened, and also the eyebrows and eyelashes,
and you could see the paint on her lips.
Then upon her head was a reddish-blonde
wig. "Why sh* wears a peruke!” wa the
whisper among the hidden observers There
was no mistake about it. You could see
the peruke form in the front and arranged in
long tresses at the back. Her head looked
like a well made up barber’s block. In her
hand she carried a large yellow cane of the
style of the coquettish marquis canes of the
da> s ol' Louis (juatorze. She carried it as a
caprice, not as a support, for she played and
toyed with it, pointed at the pictures an-i
twirled it about in her hand.

COWETA FOR HILL.
Special to tho Conatltutiupl
Newnan, Ga., Jan. 24th. 1877—1n
response to a very short notice a large
number of the citizens of Coweta
oounty assembled in the court bouso
to-night, for tho purpose of giving
expression to their views on tho sub
ject of tho Senatorial contest now
pending in Atlanta.
Thomas A. Grace was called to the
chair, and J. M. Dent requested to
act as secretary.
On motion, tho chairman appoin
ted a committee of six to prepare bus
iness for the mooting. Tne commit
tee, after a short absence, reported
the following:
Resolved, That iu the Senatorial
contest now pending Indore the Leg
islature of Georgia, while we recog
nize the purity and patriotism of all
the gentlemen aspiriug to the posi
tion of United States Senator, tho
people or Coweta, in Oonunon with
the masses of the State, believe that
the distinguished ability of the Hon.
B. H. Hill, coupled with his past ser
vices to the State, the South and the
whole eouutry, entitles him above
all others to represent Georgia iu tho
United States Senate, and that at
this critical juncture of our national
affairs, his. eminent abilities and
acknowledged statesmanship are
more needed, and would be of more
value in the Senate than in the House
of Representatives.
Resolved, further, that a true rep
resentation of the wishes of an
overwhelming majority of the people
of this country, demand that the
votes of our immediate representa
tives be cast for Hon. B. H. Hill as
long as there is a shadow of a ehunce
for his election to the Senate.
Oc motion, a rising vote was taken
on the adoption ot the resolutions,
and they were adopted by a vote of
fifty-six to one.
On motion, Mr. J. H. Bent was ap
pointed a special messenger to con
vey forthwith in person copies of
theso resolutions to our Representa
tives in the Legislature,
The meeting then adjourned.
Thomas A. Grace, Chairman.
,T. M. Dent, Secretary.
This meeting was a representative
one, the call being addressed to all
the friends of Senatorial aspirants.

JIM BENNETT.
EVER SINCE HE FOUGHT A DUEL HE IS
LIONIZED.
To the Editor of the Sun: Sir— lt
was not courage in the son of Wil
liam Tell when he stood firm as the
rock of Altorf for his father to cleave
the apple from his head by the Apol
lo-like arrow ;it was unlimited and
religious faith in ttie skill and cour
age of his patriotic father. So with
Mr. Bennett, when he stood motion
less for Recorder Hacket to shoot
from his head a silver coin; it was
not valor, but full fuith iu tho calm
ness and skill of his friend with the
pistol.
Permit me, however, to narate an
incident in the youth of Mr. Benpett,
Jr., as stated to me by his father at
Washington Heights. In his youth
it wus deemed requisite by his pa
rents that he should finish his edu
cation at tho ronow(|od Polytechnic
School or Paris. It is military in its
nature and discipline as well as sci
entific, and has more than once aid
ed the revolutions of France by the
courageous audacity of its pupils.
It is a rule iu the institution umong
the students that every new comer
must personally fight one of the pu
pils hand to hand, the debutant bo
iDg permitted to select the nationali
ity he will light, as the school is com
posed of various races! the chief be
ing French.
In due time young Benuett, the
American, was notified by the Moni
tor (principal pupil) of the custom,
which could not be avoided, the al
ternatives being expulsion of courage
in the combat. The day arrived to
select the antagonist, and the follow
ing dialogue, etc., nobly portrays the
result :
Monitor—Will you fight a French
man ?
Bennett, Jr,—No! for they aided
in the liberty of the United States.
Monitor—What say youtoan Irish
man ?
Bennett, Jr.—Certainly not,for they
are struggling for freedom.
Monitor— Well, then, a Scotchman ?
Bennett, Jr.-Nevqrl for that is the
native land of my father.
Monitor—Will you fight a John
Bull—an Englishman ?
Bennett, Jr.—No! for freedom orig
inated in that nation.
Monitor—How say you then to a
Bussian?
Bennett, jr—Yes! I’ll fight the
Russian, In remembrance of the tyr
anny over poor Poland?
The contest duly took place in tho
presence of all the pupils and the
umpires. The victory was unani
mously awarded to young Bennett,
the American, amid cheers and con
gratulations. He then manfully ad
dressed the assembly of proverbial
bravery; ‘‘lf there is any pupil here
who doubts my courage, I’ll fight
him now, no matter of what nation
he may be native!”
No one accepted the challenge, for
he was publicly declared a worthy
pupil of the Paris Polytechnic Insti
tute, and became a favorite.
As the sapling, so grows the onk
tree. The man who would question
the personal courage of James Gor
don Bennett, must himself have but
a slight appreciation of true valor.

A Pretty Incident.— The Sunday
before his death Commodore Van
derbilt sent SSO to the Sunday
school of the Church of the Strang
ers as a contribution to the Christ
mas festival. Sufficient money
had previously been collected to
defray the expenses of the enter
tainment, and it was decided by
the officers and teachers to invest
the money in flowers. Each one of
the Sunday school children is to nave
a flower pot, and either a tube rose,
a hyacinth, or a lily bulb. The pu
pils are expected to cultivate the
bulbs, and take the plants to the
Sunday school next Easter Sunday.
Prizes are to be awarded to those
that have the best specimens.
The patter of little feet and the
patter of summer rain are said to be
the most musical sounds in -nature,
yet one occasionally falls on nervous
ears, and the othor on new bonnets.

WHO lit SUET
A WOMAN DISGUISED AS A MAN ARRESTED
•AT A BROAD STREET BOARDING
HOUSE —IN THE SEWING MACHINE
BUSINESS AND ABLE TO TAKE
CARE OF HERSELF—HOW
FOILED AN INQUISI
TIVE REPORTER.
■ Q- ..
Three or four weeks ago a boy, ap
parently about sixteen years of age.
took up bis quarters at a Broad
street board-house. He had auburn
hair and smooth features. His dress
was of a neat business pattern. In
fact, he was connected with a sewing
machine establishment. He was
quiet, unobtruslvo in his demeanor,
and always conducted himself in a
very gentlemanly manner. When
he had finished his meals, he took
out his cigar, lit it, sat down in a
chair in the office of tho establish
ment. crossed his legs with the most
perfect nonchalance, puffed at his
weed, and talked upon any subjeot
that happened to be broached. Eve
rybody seemed to like him on ac
count of his pleasant manners.
Yesterday afternoon the proprietor
of the establishment, who had made
a discovery, called in Policeman Hope
and told him to arrest the boy, who.
he explained, was a woman in dis
guise. The officer told her she would
have to accompany him to tho work
house, which she did. She there said
that her father had been engaged in
tho sowing rnachiuo business iu
Nashville; that she had lived in
Nashville and Edgefield, and that
her father now lived lu Louisville;
that she was a virtuous girl, and had
never been guilty of any improprie
ties.
After her arrest an Amei'ican repor
ter visited her at her room iu the
work-house. She had not changed
her attire, and was lying across three
chairs in front of a stove, with a
shawl thrown over her. She said she
did not expect to sleep any during
the night, and that, therefore, she
did not think it worth while to go to
bed. v
“I understand,” said the reporter,
addressing her as she quietly opened
her eyes and looked at him with an
indifferent air, “that you have lived
in Edgefield and Louisville.”
“Well, who are you?” she asked.
“Oh, I’m a representative of the
American.”
“I don’t wish to answer any ques
tions.”
“How long have you been engaged
in the sewing niacnine business?”
“That makes no difference.”
“How long have you been in male
attire?”
“Please don’t bother me,and you’ll
oblige me.”
"Well, I won’t,” said the foiled re
porter, as she closed her eyes on him,
and he gave up the interview as a
bad job.
My friend has a little daughter who
asks the Lord for everything she
wants. One day her mamma was
busy cutting abd sewing, so Nellie
busied her-.t If in the same way. By
and-by m; tmua called for the scis
sors whic:. Nellie were using. The
child ga\e ' rein up with a sorrowful
face, u: I ion after mamma looked
around r . find the littleone kneeling
by her littio chair with clasped
hands, praying, "Dear Father, give
us our daily bread and more scis
sors,” was hor prayer. Soon after
Nellie had a beautiful pair of scis
sors, all iter own. A friend presented
them to her.— Southern Christian Ad

New York, Jan. 25.—A meeting of
bankers, merchants, and others, in
terested in the settlement of tho debt
question in the Southern States, was
held to-day in the clearing house.
Wm. Cuilen Bryant presided. Frank
Taylor spoke of the deplorable con
dition of things in the South.
Colonel Stebbans then offered reso
lutions, which were adopted,
deploring the State affairs in tho
Southern States, and sympathizing
with tho people in their unhappy
condition; recognizing the obstacles
in the way of tho honorable dis
charge of their legal obligations;
stating that some method of com
promise and re-adjustment was abso
lutely necessary; recommending tho
intervention of a committee of dis

fering a fair and honorable method
alike to debtor and creditor, and
naming as the committee Messrs.

HOUSE.
The Electoral Count Bill was pre
sented as it pasaed the Senate, and
was rdported to the House. The pre
vious question will be called at 3
o’clock to-morrow. The last four
hours will be devoted to ten minute
speeches, with privilege to print in
tho Record by those crowded out.
The debate on tho Electoral com
promise engaged the House to-day
to tho exclusion of all other subjects.
The galleries were crowded to an un
usual degree, and great interest man
ifested in the proceedings.
Speeches in support- of the bill
made by W. C. Crary, Huuton and
Goode, of Virginia, Hewitt, of Now
York, Hoar of Massachusetts. Hale
and Monroe spoke against.
The most notable of the speeches
was that by Hoar. He expressed
himseU very strongly against the
idea of the constitutional power of
tho President of the Senate to count
the Electoral vote. The peroration in
which he described the awful and
august form of law rising over the
troubled waters and altering the di
vine mandate “Peace, bo still,” was
enthusiastically applauded.
The debate was continued in the
night sessiou.
The indications are that the bill
will pass by three-fourths.

NO USE FOR THAT COMMISSION.
Washington, Jan. 25.—J. B. Debry,
a Florida telegrapher, was before the
Powers and Privileges Committee,
and testified to a knowledge of tele
grams to the following effect:
Secretary Chandler to Stearns:
“Wo are absolutely sure of so many

otherwise.”

"Send carriers to each county.
They must be made to show a ma

Same to Senate: “Have seen the
President and Secretary. Money
and troops will be sent.”
Witness could not remember exact
words. He declined to answer cer
tain questions, as they would crimi
nate him undor Florida laws. He
will probably bo held for contempt.
Debry testified that a dispatch had
been handed him for transmission to
Z. Chandles, signed by Gov* Stearns,
saying iu effect, “Wo cannot carry
the State for Hayes unless we have
troops and money immediately.”

Scarcity of Money.
There Is no doubt but the present condi
tion of all kinds of business and Industry
is fearfully depressed, and It behooves
every family to look carefully to their ex
penses. Winter la coming on when chil
dren are liable to Croup, Whooping
Cough, etc. Coughs and Colds will pre
vail everywhere, and Consumption, with
othor throat and lung diseases, will carry
off many.—These diseases should not lie
neglected. Doctor’s bills are expensive,
and would advlso our people to use Bos
chec’s German Syrup. It never has
failed. One bottle at 75 cents will keep
your wholo family well during tho winter.
Two doses will relieve any case. Sold in
all towns In the United States, and by
your Druggists
