GEOEGIA LEGISLATURE. Friday, August 14. SENATE. Senate met pursuant to adjournment, and was opened with prayer by the Rev. Mr. Smith, Senator the 7th District. The journal of yesterday was read and ap proved. ' / A sealed communication was received from the Governor, through his Secretary, with the request that the same be considered in execu tive session. A document from the Governor was read re questing the Senate to repeal section 1021 of the Code. (The repealing ol this section au thorizes the Public Printer elect to cuter upon his jiuties at ouee.j Mr. Numially moved that the Senate now go into executive session, which was sustained. The following nominations were confirmed during executive session : Associate Judges Supreme Court-11. K. MeCay, S years ; Hiram Warner, 4 years. Northern Circuit —Garnett Andrews, ol Wilkes county, Judge; and John M. Mathews, of Madison, as Solicitor. Macon Circuit—Carleton B. Cole, ol Bibb, Judge; and Ezekiel W. Crocker, of Twiggs,as Solicitor.' Pataula Circuit.—S. Wise Parker, of Clay county, Solicitor. Southern Circuit.—J. R. Alexander, of Thomas, Judge; and VV. B. Bennett, of Brooks, as Solicitor. After executive session the Seriate resumed its regular business. Mr. McArthur moved to suspend the regular order of business for the purpose of introduc ing a resolution authorizing the Secretary o( the Senate to employ additional clerks. The regular order was suspended and the re solution adopted. A document from the Governor was read containing lengthy reports from the Provisional State House officers. On motion of Mr. Harris, the reports wore re ferred to the Finance Committee. Mr. Campbell (colored,) moved to reconsider so much of tile journal ol yesterday as relates to the action of the Senate in the adoption of the minority report in i.l>e case of Bradley, lie urged in lengthy and emphatic remarks the reconsideration, lie hoped the Senate would excuse liis warmth, as the ease was near to him as a colored man, and was also near to the white race, if Bradley was sent forth upon the world with this foul imputation resling upon him In* would he met by the sympathies of 92,000 voters ol a down-trodden race. Pending the remarks of Mr. Campbell, the Senate adjourned until 10 o’clock tomorrow morning. HOUSE The House met pursuant to adjournment, and was opened with prayer by Rev. Mr. Knott,. Mr. Holl, of Meriwether, rose to a question of privilege, so far as relates to his remarks be ing misrepresented by the reporter of the Con stitution—he. simply used the words by fl ay of illustration. Mr. O’Neil, of Lowndes, also rose to a qnes tiou of privilege as to his remarks being mis represented, when be used the name ol the lion. A. 11. Stephens in support of his argu ment. The ground assumed being that the re porter intended to convey the idea that this was the only argument, he urged in support of the bill, and the language “ benefit to the* poor negro” was the only argument used l>v the gentleman from Meriwether in support of the same. On a call of the roll the following bills were introduced and read the first time : By Mr. Hamilton—To incorporate the Bap tist. Church of Union, in Screven enmity. Mr. Bryant rose to a point of order, that the hill could not t>e entertained on account of being unconstitutional.

A motion was made to recommit the bill in order tO hove it referred to t.IrA Finance Com mit-lee. The grounds taken for the hill Inking this course was, that a question of finance, in the way of taxation, was involved, also, the same privileges could be granted to nil. Mr. Phillips opposed its reference to the fi nance Committee, and moved to the Commit tee on Internal Improvements, and 2(H) copies lie printed, wiiieli was agreed to.

Mr. Rutnph—A resolution that, the Mir,sen ger eject one A. A. Bradley, a convicted felon, from a seat on tlie floor. A motion was made to suspend Hie niies in order to take up the resolution. Mr. Bryant hoped lliatt.be House would pro ceed witli the regular business, as this thing ol Bradley’s ease happened twenty years since. In a ease happening so long since— The point of order was raised that the ques tion was to suspend. The Chair decided the point well taken. Mr. Scott. Mr. Speaker, lias a seat ever been tendered to tills personage ? Mr. Phillips, of Echols. Is it not the duty of the Chair to eject such personages without resolution ? The Chair. There is no rule governing on this subject, though 1 think no one obnoxious to the House should he allowed to a seat on the floor. The previous question was called for and sustain* and. On the motion to suspend, the veas and nays were required to lie recorded, and are: yeas, So; nays, 35 It requiring a two-thirds vote, the rules were not suspended.

LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS. CAMPBELL (NEGRO) HARANGUES THE SENATE IN FAVOR OF HIS FRIEND AARON ALPKORIA BRADLEY. THE STOREHOUSE OF THE ROSWELL FACTORY ROBBED AND BURNED. LOSS, SEVEN THOUSAND DOL LARS OVER INSURANCE. Atlanta, August 16. In the Senate, that pestilent lellow, Bradley, has cost the Slate to-day about four hundred dollars. Ilis friend, Mr. Campbell (negro), had the floor this morning, and” harangued the Senators, or as many as remained to submit to it, throughout nearly the entire session. At times the scenes of confusion in the Senate Chamber were such as would disgrace even a Radical pow wow, conducted by its vilest lead ers. Hooting, hissing and calls to order, and impudent rejoinders from the old black scamp, called, according to the reconstruction acts, Senator —all endured to listen to a defense of the expelled negro. After Campbell had ranted an hour and a half, no quorum was found.— Other Senators were drummed up. Mr Holcombe endured half an hour longer, then to a point of order. He said Camp bell was crazy, and not eligible himself. Mr. Winn wanted a committee of three to bear him out. Motions and points of order came thick and fast. Campbell aeemed as full of blow as when he first begun. Everybody was tired down. Even Conley seemed disgusted, and was evidently much relieved, when the hour and motion for adjournment came. He brought down Ids lap hammer ami adjourned to Monday. The store house of the Roswell Manufactur ing Company was robbed, and then burned, last night. The factory is not injured. The loss over the amount of insurance is about. $7,000. No stoppage of work on aceount of the fire. f Associated Press Dispatches. Washington. Washington, August 15—Noon. A son of Secretary Schofield died at West Point. Washington, August 15—P. M. A statement of facts concerning the Texas cattle disase, made by J. R. Dodge, statistician ol Hie Department of Agriculture, as the re sult ol extended investigation, makes the fol lowing points : First, that the disease is com municated by cattle from Texas, Florida and oilier points of the Gulf coast; second, that such disease is itself unknown in Texas or the Gull coast; third, that Hie cattle communicating it are not only apparently healthy Imt are generally improving in condition ; fourth, that while lo cal herds receiving the infection nearly all die, they never communicate the disease to others ; fifth, that either a considerable increase in ele vation or a distance of two or three degrees of latitude from the starting point is necessary to develop** the virus into activity and viriileuey, and a further progress of two degrees of lati tude and a few weeks in time is sufficient to eliminate the poison from the system ; sixth, that, as cattle are removed to other miasmatic sections, as He- Mississippi bottoms, up to the thirty-Slx lb parallel, communicate no infection to local herds; seventh, medication has tints tar been <>f no avail. It concludes that t.lie disease cannot become general, and that it cannot, exist except, within the movements of Texas cattle, which could be regulated or suppressed, and lliat it does not result from travel, but. from climatic disease. Mrs. Gen. Rawlins and Mrs. Senator Trum bull are still alive, but their dealii is hourly ex pceteii. Land Commissioner Wilson issued a circular cautioning registers and receivers that three sections only can be entered in one township on college scrip.

Revenue receipts, $378,000. J. <l. Bingham, lately deputy collector of the port of Richmond, attempted suicide tiy stab bing himself eleven tunes about l.lie. heart and cutting his throat. There is blit little hope of bis recovery. 11. is stated, on doubtful authority, that Com missioner Rollins will resign unconditionally, limn regard to McCulloch. The feelings and wishes for conversion of si veil thirties into live-twenties Ims ceased.— They are now worth their face in currency. Gen. Tlios. E. Ewing is prominently men tioned in connection with the Alaska ctdlector ship. The statistical report bliows that imports of coffee, cotton, flax, hemp and silk goods, India rubber, opium, paints, salt, soda and ten, a heavy decline, and the entries of glass, gums, hides, precious stones, spices and sugar, also a large decline; tin, tobacco, cigars and lumber exhibit an increase. The other articles being in the usual quantities. JLiomsiana*. New Orleans, August 15. An act to regulate public education in the State of Louisiana—prepared under the super vision of Parson Conway—lias been made the special order for next Friday. Section Ist provides schools shall be open to all children between the ages of six and twenty-one, with out. distinction of race or color or previous condition. Tbe hill provides for a Board of Education, to consist of Hie Lieutenant-Gover nor aud six persons appointed by the Gover nor, to he confirmed by the Senate—the State superintendent alone to lie elected. Tbe direc tors of the six general school districts into which the State is divided are to lie appointed by the superintendent. Tlie superintendent is empowered to decide, without appeal, all con troversies or disputes arising under this law, and invests him with other extraordinary [lowers, and requires all teachers to inculcate loyalty to tlie national Government, and kind ness to all men, regardless of race or color. Section 5, of chapter 0, provides for the compulsory attendance of all children between the ages of eight and fourteen, without fixed employment, in such school or place of cor rection as may tie provided hy the Board of Education, at Hie expense of parents or guardi ans, or in case ol poverty, at tlie expense of the school fund, at the discretion of the Board. The act provides, that in addition to the poll tax uow provided for, a special tax of one fourth of one per cent, be levied on all taxable property in the State. Seetiou 2 of tlie con cluding chapter gives (he State superintendent the right to interpret all doubtful provisions of this law, and Hie present Stale superintendent is the renowned Ga plain T. W. Conway, framer of the bill, which covers eighty-two pages. An important meeting was held last night in the Governor’s office between prominent mem bers of both parties. Both concluded the dan ger ot a collision was imminent. The Demo cratic gentlemen expressed the opinion that the only way to insure peace was to stop the sys tem ot aggressive arid oppressive legislation now in progress. That, the Democratic and Conservative elements of the country expected to accomplish nothing except, in a legal and constitutional way, but that it was unwise and improper lor the Slate government to defy the •entimcßt and wishes of the people. That if tbe Governor would throw himself upon the people they would sustain him, and no resort to force be necessary lor the preservation ot the peace. Warmoutb slated that he was authorized to say, on bebalt of the Republicans, that there was nothing in reason the Republicans can do or concede but wliat will be done lo secure harmony. IJe promised that measures u tot party polities, obnoxious to citizens, will be modified, and said he was in earnest in bis de sire to secure the welfare of all, and to pre serve peace and order, Another meeting will be had in a few days, when it is hoped some practical illustration of the mutual desire for -harmony will be pre sented. . . . . Moderate Republicans are nuforlunately but few in number. They concede that the system of legislation heretofore and at present pur sued is calculated to create strife. _ The Democracy say the preservation ot order is what they most earnestly desire, anil that it rests entirely with the Republicans.
