An Important Decision —'The Supreme
Court of Georgia, a few days ago, an
nounced a decision virtually annulling the
suspensions of the Statute of Limitations
made between 1861 and 1865.
The Columbus Enquirer understands
that the effect of the decision is to bar all
notes due on or before the 31st of October,
1858; also all accounts due two years later.
The court only recognizes a suspension of
one year made just before the war, consid -
erlng suspensions made during the war as
war measures, and holding them to be void.
The ordinance of the convention of 1865
was held not to retract so as to give validi
ty to former suspensions. As the statute
bars notes overdue for six years, and as the
suspension of one year (1860) was held to
be legal, the effect of the decision is to bar
recovery on notes that had run after be
coming due seven years up to3lst October,
1865.
Personae.— W. T. Williams, Esq., the
genial and very efficient agent of the Char
lotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad, we
understand, leaves the city this morning,
for a fortnight’s recreation at the Virginia
Springs. The labors of Mr. Williams dur
ing the past season have been quite oner
ous, in consequence of the rapidly increas
ing business of the important railway line
which lie so efficiently represents at this
point, to the very great satisfaction of our
business men and the patrons of the road
in general. In his brief respite from offi
cial duties, we trust that lie may be placed
on such a schedule as to preclude the pos
sibility of his physical capabilities being
exposed to too many “ bumpers,” and that
on his return he may resume the duties of
his position rejuviuated and fresh for the
Fall campaign of the carrying trade, in
which his .road is to bear so important a
part for the interests of Augusta and the
planters along its route.

Fire. —Last night, about TO o’clock, the
alarm of fire was sounded, and our vigilant
firemen were soon on the “ war-path.” The
occasion of the alarm was the upsetting of
a pendant kerosene {lamp in the store of
Mrs. M. McDermott, on Broad, between
Kollockand McKinne streets. The prompt
response of the neighbors extinguished the
fire’without the assistance of the fireman,
with no material damage.
Previous to this, about 8 o’clock, another
kerosene lamp burs ted in Mr. Patrick Col
lins’ store, ou Broad, near the corner of
Marbury street, the fire from which,
however, was extinguished without general
Alarm or material damage.
Not Married.— Referring to the report
that Signor Brignoli and Miss McCulloch
were married in Portland on the 14th ult.,
the Press of that city says that the lady
and gentleman did not arrive in town until
the day following, and that no license was
obtained from the city clerk as the law re
qulr ed. It is therefore safe to conclude that
that the marriage did not take place.
Pure Liquors. —The attention of those
of onr readers who occasionally take some
thing for their health or stomach’s sake is
called to the advs’ llseraent of Messrs. G.
A. Whitehead & Cos., who deal only in the
genuine article, as can be proved by the
•endorsement of the best judges in oar city.
Cargo Sale of Molasses. —We invite
the attention of merchants and dealers to
the advertisement of the auction sale in
, Charleston, South Carolina, on the 9th, of
a cargo of superior molasses, Messrs. J. H.
jEaslow & Cos., auctioneers.
Thomas Sweent offers his Dress Goods
at a great sacrifice from this date. 1
The People’s Line—Arrival op the
First Boat. —The Advertiser reports that
the steamer Wave, the first of four stern
wheel steamers how being built at the At
lantic Works, Norfolk, Virginia, for the
People’s Line, to ply between Savannah
and this city, arrived at Savannah Friday
morning. Immediately uponr the arrival
of the Wave, the captain find crew who
brought her out took passage on the steam
ship America, for the purpose of bringing
on the vClyde, another one of the boats,
which will be ready on their return. The
Wave Is one hundred feet in length, nine
teen feet beam, has two engines and two
boilers, twelve feet in length and forty
inches in diameter, with twelve inch cylin
ders and three feet stroke. When light
she will draw but sixteen inches of water,
bhe has a hold of four feet four inches in
depth, and her carrying capacity is esti
mated at three hundred bales. The pas
senger accommodations’of the Wave, as
well as those of her consorts to follow,
will be equal to those of any other steam
ers on the river. She has state-rooms for
twenty-four passengers, all furnished with
the latest and most desired improvements
for comfort and convenience ; the entrance
to state-rooms throughout being accessible
both from the saloon and main deck.
With the completion of the remaining
three boats, and those now running, besides
a handsome side-wheel passenger boat now
building for the parties who represent the
steamer San Antonio at Wilmington, Dela
ware, Augusta will then lie in daily con
nection with Savannah by river, eight boats
running the route. In eoming out the
staunchness of the Wave was well tested,
having proved herself every way seawor
thy, steaming seven knots in very rough
weather, which is a very fair conclusion
that she will make her ten knots with ease
between Augusta and this place.
As soon as the Wave can lie placed in
proper condition (probably on Monday or
Tuesday next), she will leave for this city,
under command of Captain H. B. Fraser.
The New Internal Revenue Law
and Tariff.— We are in receipt of the
first proof sheets of a pamphlet of 48
pages, from the pen of E. 11. Pughe, of this
city, embracing the regulations and in--
structions concerning the tax off distilled
spirits, the regulations concerning the dis
tillation of brandy from apples, peaches or
grapes, exclusively, the revised regulations
concerning taxes on tobacco, snuff and ci
gars, with the new tariff law. The compi
lation of this pamphlet will a1 once com
mend itself to the consideration of business
men desirous of Informing themselves on
these important points. Price 50 cents.
A Tall Cotton Stalk. —We were shown
yesterday a cotton stalk which was six feet
iu height, and fruited with 140 bolls and
forms. This “ cotton tree,” for such it ap
peared, was grown by Rev. William Hamp
ton (colored) on his farm, six-and-a quarter
miles from the city, on the Savannah road,
and was not stimulated to such striking
perfection by the use of fertilizers. He
gives a good account of the average condi
tion of his crop, the plant being particular
ly well fruited.
Injunction Withdrawn. —The Macon
Telegraph reports a meeting on Thursday of
the gentlemen who were parties in the bill
praying for an injunction to restrain the
Mayor and City Council from making any
appropriations to Mercer University, and
it was determined to withdraw the bill,
and so there stands now no objection to
the proposal of the City Council. The
raeetiug was harmonious and the with
drawal of the bill nearly unanimous.
Commissioner Returned. —Col. Samuel
Weil, who has been absent nearly a year
in Europe in the interest of immigration to
Georgia, has returned to Atlanta.
The Meeting on Monday.— The meet
ing of the Reform party held at this place
on Monday last was the largest political
gathering that lias assembled here since the
war. Many townships in the county were
well represented by white and colored dele
gates, and we doubt, if ever, on any similar
occasion, more interest was manifested.—
The church was crowded to its utmost ca
pacity, and numbers of persons had to re
main outside. A large number of colored
persons gave their attention, and it is to
be hoped profited by what they heard. The
meeting was addressed by Messrs. J. T.
Aldrich, Robert Aldrich and Dr. B. W.
Lawton,, who were followed by Messrs
William Mixon and Benjamin Hews, two
of the colored delegates, who acquitted
themselves in a becoming style, and their
remarks were greeted with rounds of ap
plause. Dr. Lawton, in the course of his
remarks, thought it advisable to postpone
making nominations for the present—that
our people should have more time to pre
pare themselves, aud, on motion of James
Gardner a vote was taken, and the time tor
making the nominations postponed.
Everything passed off pleasantly during
the day, and the only thing like a disturb
ance that we heard oi, some six or eight
young colored bucks, who “ couldn’t see
the point,” followed Ben Hewes for some
distance below the village, endeavoring to
get up a row, and but for the presence of
our worthy Inteudent, something serious
might have resulted. Ben believes in South
Carolina all the time, and can stand his
hand with any of them, and in the church
made no remarks calculated to offend any
one. This inference or attempt to mob a
man for expressing his sentiments, it mat
ters not to what party he may belong, is a
St rions matter, and in every instanceshould
aud will be brought to justice.

Sales Day.— Last Monday the largest
crowd was in attendance here that we have
seen at any time this year. But little
property was sold, parties we suppose com
ing up to time. A tract of land a few miles
from this place, belonging to the estate of
the late Col. John Aaron, and containing
150 acres, was purchased by Judson J.
Aarou, for $330 ; and a small lot in the
village of Windsor, measuring 60 feet
square, the property of 11. Wall, Jr., was
purchased by L. Toole, for $lO.

GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
TWENTY FIRST DAY’S PROCEED
' OfGS.
■:; ■; -- ■. / f> A ■ Moj,, . t J |
Friday, August 5,1870.
' SENATE.
The Senate met pursuant to adjournment,
at 10, a. m., aud was called to order by
the President.
Prayer by the Rev. Wesley Prettymau.
The roll was called and the Journal of
yesterday read and approved.
Senator Harris moved that the special»
order be taken up, which was the report of
joint committee of-the Senate and House
on the Capitol building.
The special order was taken up, the re
port of the committee read, which report
shows the value of the property, including
land, building and all appurtenances to be
$395,000, and that the entire property can
be purchased at $380,000, of which $130,-
000 in bonds of the city of Atlanta, which
amount the city proposes to donate for
that*mrpose, and $350,000 in seven per
cent, bonds of the State of Georgia.
Mr. Harris moved the adoption of the re
port, and earnestly insisted that the con
tract of purchase, which could now be
made, would be the best for the Btaie of
Georgia,-not only by reason of the locali
ty of her Capitol, hut financially; such a
purchase would lie wise and well made,
and to the best interests of the State.
Wallace, colored, offered a substitute for
the report, that, as the city of Atlanta had
agreed iu 1868 to furnish to the State of
Georgia, free of charge for ten years, a Cap
itol for her use, that there was no necessity
of making the purchase at this time, when
we had the use of the building under that
agreement. He said no sane man would
buy a house when he had the privilege of
using one without it. He called the at
tention of the Senate to the proposition of
Messrs. Kimball in reference to retnruing
the $54,500. He declared it great “im
prudence in the Kimballs” in offering to
return that money which Governor Bul
lock had advanced upon such terms of
purchase, whereby the Kimballs would be
making many more thousands out of the
State than they would be returning to her.
Mr. Campbell, colored, rose, and with
vim, opposed tlie substitute of Wallace.
He favored the purchase as recommended
by the committee, declaring that the ad
vantages resulting to the State in pur
chasing now would be a clear gain of at
least $60,000, whereas, by a delay for the
porpose of eujoying the use and occupancy
of the bnilding for the remainder of the ten
years provided by the agreement of the city
of Atlanta in 1868, we would lose the in
terest on the property as well as the dona
tion offered by the city of Atlanta and the
benefit of a most favorable purchase.
Senator Griftln said it was useless to dis
cuss the advantages or disadvantages of
the locality; there was an important ques
tion to consider concerning the structure
of the building, whether it be substantial
and unsafe ; that by reason of the vast ex
cavation beneath and the inferior workman
ship in the construction of its walls, it may
soon crumble and fall, a wreck and ruin of
the property, and an immense loss to the
State; besides, the construction and ar
rangement of all its apartments, it is so
imperfect and objectionable that our de
liberative bodies are in perfect confusion
as often from these causes as from any
other; he appealed to Senators who, he
said, had heretofore made robbery, thieving,
plunder, and stealing, the alpha and omega
of almost all they have done, to consider
well before they act; think of the thousands
of dollars now about to be invested ; “1.
tell you, Senators, there is something rot
ten in Denmark—there is a rat iu the
meal tub.”
Senator Burns was satisfied we would
need some place to occupy, for when we
go home we will find it too warm there
and we will need these magnificent rooms;
the day has come when the people are to
have no more elections and why should
wc care for their wishes or for their cries
of corruption! He did not certainly care
for corruption ! nor for the people 1 for as
the Senator (Mr. Higbee) said the other
day, “ there would be no election,” and
now all to lie done was to look to the
comfort and .ease of this body, this au
gust body! we should have a place to roost
in, and assemble and be king aud lord of
all; that the W. and A. R. R. Company
are making all the money, and as to the
purchase, we, of course, could buy it; but
seriously, said the Senator, why should we
buy it V Are there ten men who can go
into that Representative Hall and reeom
•mend its purchase? Let other Senators do
as they may, he, for one, should vote “ no ”
Mr. Fain—We hear cries of corruption
from gentlemen on the floor. They make
such charges without reasons to sustain
them.
He did not ttiink it reasonable or
manly to cry out and make such charges
without being able to sustain them.—
Those who cry out corruption and claim
we need “ some plate to roost." “ that when
we go home we will find it too warm to
remain there,” are gentlemen who have
not given reasons for such charges, or
argument tor such positions.
He was more than gratified with the
liberality of the city of Atlanta. He would
not extend his remarks by repeating the
magnanimous propositions and reviewing
the report, which, in-itself, shows the best
of reasons why we should make the pur
chase.
Mr. Candler—l do not intend to vote for
these resolutions. lam unlike the gentle
man who has just concluded his remarks,
that he was not afraid of his constituents,
lain afraid of mine; lam afraid of my
neighbors, of the people of Georgia, of my
wife, my family, I am afraid of them all,
whom I regard and respect, lest they may
think me connected, and leagued with cor
ruption and wrong here.
Mr. Fain—l did not say corruption. I
was afi aid of this proposition. Ho asked
if Senators did not have outside measures
which were exercising a pressing influence
upon them in their advocacy of or opposi
tion to this purchase; that some railroad
scheme, some local enterprise that must
succeed, or personally and politically, as
Senators, they would be ruined.
Mr. Harris desired to know if the ques
tion was put and answer referred. If so, he
would say no such powerful influence was
pressing on him, and judging the Senator
by his remarks, he had no railroad nor any
other important enterprise to influence
him.
Mr. Candler—There are Senators doubt
less so influenced. The constitution places
the capital permanently in the city of At
lanta, and that its present locality cannot
be changed without a change of the consti
tution. You are not discussing the locali
ty; you are discussing whether yon will
purchase this building. Gentlemen, yon
should not bny old clothes. You should
not bny an old Opera House, patched up
for the occasion, and purposely to sell to
you. I ask you, gentlemen, who are you
buying from ? A man who owes you
$54,506—a bad debt. You go to collect a
debt from a fellow who owes you SIOO, and
he offers to sell you an old cow with the
hollow horn, worth nothing; well, gentle
men say take the old cow, and we’ll use
this horn and that horn, and may be we
can make jt worth something. lam op
posed to the purchase. All the interest I
have Is here; I own property in the city,
and expect my children to be educated
here. But Ido not believe the interest of
the city is subserved, nor her honor pro
tected by such a purchase. He said there
was #b (evidence of a good building. That
the ra,en who and reported on
the building are men whq were employed
in its construction. He asked, have we
anything now to buy with ? No, nothing.
The notes of your State Road have been
presented at the banks and protested.
[The thirty minutes having expired, Mr.
Candler took his seat.
Mr. Nnnnally— discuss so many
outside matters to make wrong impressions?
The Senator who has jnst concluded is en
titled to credit for ability to advocate
either side of this question. "He said as the
Capitol was located permanently here he
Would not discuss anything but the pur
chase of thjs building; that this was a sub
stantial and safe and elegant buiiding,
suitable to the uses and purposes of the
government as a Capitol. He would ask
If the Senator’s cow had the hollow horn
to-day, what did jt Ijave in 1860? He
favored it then', and why oppose it now ?
He contended that It was, financially,' to
the interest of jthe State; that the State
only gives $250,000 in bonds, which are to
ran for twenty years; that the bnildlng is
no old machine rubbed np for a purpose;
fyfcftd not fafiQ used for Other purposes
than that of a Capitol; he asked the Sena
tors when and where would they get money
to erect other bnildings? You will have to
tax the people to build anew Capitol. In
stead of costing a few thousands it will
cost a few millions. lam opposed thus to
tax a people straggling to recover and
bnild up their lost fortunes. '
The main question was then called,
which was the substitute by Wallace—
yeas, 10; nays, 19.
The resolution was then voted on as fol
lows : Yeas, 30; nays, 9; and transmitted
to the House.
Mr. Welborn moved to make the resolu
tions expelliug Bradley the special order
of to-morrow morning, which, being with
drawn, the Senate adjourned.
HOUSE.
House met at the usual hour, and was
called to order by Speaker McWhorter.
Prayer by Rev. Dr. Brantly.
The Journal of yesterday’s proceedings
was read. -
The Speaker and Clerk made a report in
which they said that the vote yesterday
when properly recorded, stood yeas 63 ;
nays 63.
Mr. Davis, who had just returned, said
that the people who elected him do not
want an election, and he desired to have his
vote recorded, he having paired off with
Mr. Sorrells nntil Thursday.
The Speaker said that he had announced
yesterday that the vote had been closed,
and he decided that Mr. Davis could not
vote ; from which ruling Mr. Johnson, of
Spalding, appealed.
Mr. Scott rose to a point of order, that
the party having been absent that his
vote cannot be allowed when it would affect
the result.
Mr. O’Neal, of Lowndes, said that the
contract of pairing off between Mr. Davis
and Mr. Sorrells included Thursday, at
least; the two gentlemen interpret the con
tract differently, and he said that the benefit
of the doubt should be given to Mr. Davis.
Mr. Warren, of Quitman, that If the
agreement was in writing, the parties were
absolved from the obligation at the ap
pointed time.
Mr. Bryant said that the law is plain that
no member shall be permitted to vote after
the Chair has announced the decision.
Mr. Osgood called the previous question,
which call was sustained. The yeas and
nays were demanded aud resulted in yeas
60 ; nays 65. Those voting to sustain the

A message from the Senate was received,
saying that the Senate had passed a hill to
extend the aid of the State to the comple
tion of the Savannah, Griffin and North
Alabama Railroad Company.
The bill to incorporate the North Geor
gia and Tennessee I! ail road Company, and
to grant State aid to the same, was read
the third time and put ii|K>n its passage.
Mr. O’Neal, of Lowndes, argued forcibly
that this road is but a continuation of
another railroad, and that it is a stab at
the interest of Atlanta, and a scheme to
ruin the Slate Road ; he argued that the
passage of this bill would be unconstitu
tional.
Mr. Anderson offered an amendment to
the effect t hat no State aid shall be granted
until an amount equal to that asked for
shall have been paid in and expended, &c.;
which amendment the author of the bill,
Mr. Cleghorn, accepted.
Mr. O’Neal continued, that those who
propose to extend State ai.l indiscriminately
must shoulder the responsibility. At the
conclusion qf his remarks, Mr. O’Neal
moved to lay the bill on the table. On
motion, the yeas and nays were called, with
the following result: Yeas, 71; nays, 47.
A message from the Senate was received
saying that a special committee had been
appointed to report a bill u|xiu the.subject
of relief, in which the concurrence of the
House was asked.
Mr. Shumate, chairman pro term of the

row money for specified purposes; also,
that the committee asked to be discharged
from further consideration of the resolution
to pay the per diem to the wife of the Hon.
M. Claiborne, deceased, as several parties
claim the same, the subject being one for
the determination of the courts.
Mr. Price, chairman of the Committee
on Agricultural and Internal Improve
ments, recommended the passage of the fol
lowing bills:

as far as it relates to Terrell county ; also,
that a resolution had been adopted appoint
ing a joint committee to inquire what legis
lation, if any, is necessary to protect the
interest of the people in the State Rail
road.
Mr. Carson, chairman of the Committee
on Enrollment, reported that the bill chang

Murder in St. James Goose Creek. —
Pipckney Grooms, a yonng man in the
prime of life, was killed at his house, in St.
James Goose Creek, on the 26th nit., by
Hugh W. Winter. It appears from the
testimony taken at the Inquest, that Pringle
Winter, a brother of Hugh W. Winter,
came to Grooms’ house on the morning of
the 86th of Joly, and raised a quarrel with
Grooms, and cursed him, and then went
away, bnt returned again after being ab
s®pt a few hours, in company with Hugh
W. Winter, and the quarrel was renewed.
Grooms ordered them to leave his premises,
but they refused to go; and while Pringle
Winter engaged Grooms’ attention in front,
Hugh W. Winter came up in the rear aud
struck Grooms a severe blow on the right
temple with a hoe, after which he ljved
only a few hours. Nelson Joyner, trial
justice, acting as coroner on the occasion,
has committed both the Winters to Charles
ton county jail for trial in November next.

EVENING DISPATCHES.
London, August 6. —There is a better
feeling in the markets and on Change. The
cause cannot be traced to any feature of

simply of reaction from exaggerated de
pression which followed the first announce
ment, of the Franco-Prussian war.
Rumors are prevalent of fighting now
going ou, hot no confirmatory dispatches
Irom the Continent are to hand at this
hour.
The Saturday Review explains the with
drawal of French troops from Rome by the
anomaly of their presence there and by new

battle, in which many bodies of tropps

interrupted by darkness. It was resumed
early this morning and continued until 7
o’clock this evening, when victory was de
clared for the French. Similar rumors are
current in Paris, affecting the Bourse.

Berlin.
Paris, August 6.—The police last night
made a seizure of specie shipped to the
theatre of war by private parties. The
books and safe of Baron Hirsch also were
seized on a charge that the rule requiring
them to be placed under seal heen
violated.
The enthusiasm of the people over the
favorable reports from the frontier is indi
scribable. Enormous crowds flit the streets
around the Bourse, so that no vehicles can
pass, and shout and sing patriotic songs.—
Cases are filled to overflowing. Placards
are posted at the Bourse, giving particu
lars of the last two days’ fighting. Official
report# are awaited with feverish anxiety j
none have yet appealed, and as the Gov-'
eminent will permit no other news from
the army to be telegraphed abroad, the
bulletin reports cannot be used.
Attacks were made last night upon the
shops of money changers, which Were oc
casioned by imprudent remarks made by

Western markets are unchanged.
A fight has doubtless occurred.
Raleigh, August 6.—Election returns
received to-day confirm the previous opin
ion expressed that the State has gone Demo
cratic by 5,000 to 15,000 majority. Cobb,
(Republican), Ist District, an! Dixon to
fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of
Heaton and Thomas, both Republicans from
2d District are certainly elected; addi
tional returns under the election of Wad
dell, Conservative, over Dockery, Repub
lican, certain ; Gilliam, Conservative, elect
ed to fill Deweeses’ vacancy, and H. Rogers,
Conservative, to next Congress for the 4th
District, elected ; Rogers beats Harris, a
negro, about 900; Leach, Conservative, is
elected over Scott, Republican, for the 6th
District; Harper, Conservative is doubtless
elected over Jones, Republican, in the 7th
District. Both Houses of the Legislature
will be largely Democratic; sole claim a
two-thirds majority in each House.
Wilmington, August 6.—Returns
enough have been received to settle the fact
that the Conservatives carry both Houses
of the Legislature by decisive majorities.
They also carry the 3d, 4th, sth, 6th and
7th Congressional Districts, which makes
the delegation stand : five Conservatives
and two Republicans. In the 3d District,
Waddell, (Conservative), is undoubtedly
elected, though two counties have yet to
be heard from. Careful estimates fix his
majority at 375. It is conceded that Shipp,
Conservative candidate for Attorney Gene
ral, carries the State.
NIGHT DESPATCHES.
Berlin, August 6.—The Prince Royal,
Frederick William, commanding the South
German army, issued the following procla
mation : “Soldiers of the Third Corps- 1

dence. In true fraternity, continue to
spread your flag over new victories, which,
God aiding us, will insure honor and peace
to united Germany.”
