Georgia Legislature.
A multitude of new business was introduced
into the Legislature, on Wednesday, 17th, but
little of which was perfected.
'lnf the Senate, a bill was passed repealing so
much of the road laws as requires old men and
hoys to work the roads The two committees
on the judiciary were constituted a joint com
mittee to consider the Freedman’s Code
House resolution was passed requesting the
revocation of the order authorizing the seizure
of stock branded “U. S.” and “ C. S.” The
Committee on Education were instructed to
consider the utility of reviving a system of com
mon schools.
The House concurred in the Senate resolution
bringing on the election of Judges of the Su
preme Court on the 23d instant A resolution
was passed requesting the withdrawal of U. S.
forces from the State Mr. Hardeman intro
duced a i ill to incorporate the Macon Canal and
Waterworks.
Congressional.
Washington, Jan. 18. — The House was occu
pied all day with a discussion of the Negro
Suffrage bill for the District of Columbia, which
was passed by a vote of 116 to 50. It gives the
elective franchise to negroes without qualifica
tion. *
In the Senate Mr. Nesmith made a speech
advocating a generous policy towards the South.
Mr. Wade followed at length, endorsing equal
rights of all men before the law.
New Yoke, Jan. 18.—Cotton is dull and un
changed. Gold declined to 138§.

Everybody knows Meokath, or ought
to. Those who do not, had better “ hunt him
up,” as he advjses in his advertisement, and
examine his stock of good things before pur
chasing elsewhere. “Comparisons are odorous,”
Bays honest Dogberry. So we think, and shall
make none; but we are doing a simple act of
justice when we say that Megrath has as good
a stock and will sell as low as anybody else in
Macon. If our readers doubt it, let them try
for themselves.
Auction and Commission Business. —The
oard of Messrs. Lougley & Walsh will be found
elsewhere. These gentlemen are well known
here as among our most reliable business men,
and we commend them to our readers as such.
The Withdbawal of the Troops. —The Mont
gomery Mail says that Gov. Patton returned to
the Capitol a day or two since, and from him we
learn that the United States soldiers will cer
tainly be withdrawn from the State as soon as
the militia is properly organized. The Governor
has made a requisition for arms and ammuni
tion, approved and recommended by General
Thomas, and he feels assured that the requisi
tion will be prompily filled. Gen. Watson, Ad
jutant and Inspector General of the State, is
hard at work in the matter of organization, and
we trust his efforts will be met with a proper
and prompt response from all portions of the
State.
