We are informed that a colored man was arrested a few days ago for. drunkenness, and ta ken to the guard-house, when two or three police men set upon him with their clubs and beat him nearly to death. t®" Monday, the 24th, was a warm day in Ma con. The thermometer stood at 62 ° in the shade, and the old Bear in the yard in the rear of the Union office, sought the shade to escape the uncomforta ble warmth of the sun. We noticed cattle, too, lying and standing in the shade. ZW Some days ago a lady' appeared on the streets beastly drunk. The Telegraph said she was a “nymph du, pave," and that she was taken to the guard-house. We have failed to hear of her case coming before His Honor. Perhaps she was a pet of some of the city officials who control the keys of the guard-hous “The Clock in tiie Steeple.”—We notice that workmen have taken down the dials of the Clock in the Presbyterian Church Steeple for the purpose of rejuvenating them. They needed it bad enough, dear knows. The points on the faces were entirely obliterated by lapse of time and the weather, and the figures were scarcely distinguish able to good eyes at short range. While the spirit of improvement possesses those who have the matter in hand, they should extend their rejuve nating process to a coat or two of paint for the whole steeple.

A woman was found by them, who had live hundred dollars in greenbacks, and they forthwith arrested her and put her in the guard-house. The lawyers and police and guard-house keepers are now fixing up tricks to change the money from her pos session to theirs. Colored people who have live hundred dollars had better not show it in Macon. SUBJECTS OF THE AMNESTY PROCLA MATION. The reader can form some idea of the friends and associates whom A. Johnson has recently made the attempt to return to all the rights of citizenship in the rebel States, if he remembers that the atrocious scoundrel, Winder, who is gibbeted in the statement hereto annexed, is one of them. We quote from an account of Auderson ville, written by a surgeon in the rebel army: “To complete his precautions for the safe keeping of his charge, or to quell any disposition to revolt, he had placed, through Gen. Winder’s orders, a battery of six pieces of aitiUory, which command ed the whole interior of the prison, and which was kept charged with grape and canister, ready for instant service. The orders to the officer in com mand were to “sweep the stockade” if there was any appearance of mutiny, or any unusual crowti ing together of its inmates. TTie artillerists were on duty at night as well as in the day, and were relieved at their guns as reg ularly as were the customary sentinels on guard. The position of the battery upon a hill and over looking the prison, while it commanded its whole interior, was such that, if the order had ever been given to fire, its hurling grape would have borne death and desolation to many thousands. “When General Kilpatrick, of the Union army, was excepted to advance in his ride as far as An dersonville, the following order was issued: “orders no. 13. “Headquarters Confederate States 1 Military Prison, [- Andersonvile, July 27,1864. ) “The officer on duty and in charge of the battery of “Florida Artillery” at the time will, upon re ceiving notice that the enemy have approached within seven miles of this post, open fire upon the stockade, with graposhot, without reference to the situation beyond these lines of defense. “It is better that the last Federal be extermina ted than be permitted to burn and pillage the prop erty of loyal citizens, as they will do if allowed to make their escape from the prison. “By order of John H. Winder, Brigadier Gen eral. W. S. WINDER, Assistant Adjutant General. “Upon the promulgation of this sanguinary and barbarous order, a citizen of Sumpter county and a rich secessionist, who happened to be with the militia force called out by the Governor of Geor gia for the defence of Andersonville, remonstrated with General Winder against its inhumanity. The reply was: ‘Sir, I will kill the last d—d Yankee in that stockade before Sherman or Kilpatrick shall release them ! God d —n my soul if I would not rather see those twenty thousand scoundrels blown to hell than go to Heaven myself!’ ” © a* m w asr a OUR EDITORIAL HEAD. We take pride in calling the attention of our readers to the improved appearance of the Union, and especially to the illus trated editorial head.

OUR WASHINGTON" LETTER. The Georgia Report of the Judiciary Committee —Ihe Tone and Temper of the dominant party—Southern affairs well under stood, in Congress. Washington, D. C., Jan. 25,1869. The Rubicon has been passed, so far as the State of Georgia is concerned, successfully, denying the right of Mr. Hill, Senator elect to take a seat in the Senate, is but an exposition of the real temper of a majority of the United States Senate—indeed of the controlling element in the dominant party to day. This report, bear in mind, is the result of no hasty action, but the deliberate conclusion reached by a majority of the Committee, after weeks of patient investigation, during which time, the condition of affairs in your State have been thoroughly investigated, and are consequently thoroughly understood. As you will see by the material points herewith furnished, the difficulties in your State are well understood, and the adop tion of the report—which is a foregone conclusion, will prove this to be the case. The report has been delayed to enable the Committee to obtain all the facts bearing upon the case, and consequently is entitled to more consideration than if the investi gation had been made hastily. In pursuing the investigation, the Committee feel indebted to many loyal Georgians, but especially do they commend the course of Hon. Foster Blodgett of Augusta, who lias been untiring, in season and out of sea son, to furnish the Committee with all the infor mation they desired, to enable them to arrive at a correct conclusion. When the Judiciary Com mittee was called to-day, there was profound si lence, because it was understood that the report referred to would be made. After the presentation of the report, Senator Trumbull of the Committee, made a few remarks in opposition, but made no impression upon the Senate. The majority of the Committee say that the cre dentials of Mr. Hill arc in the usual form, and if the State of Georgia is entitled to Representation in Congress, he ought to be permitted to take his seat, and proceed to say: “From the fact of the reference, your Committee feel called upon to go behind the credentials to ascertain if any reasons exist why Mr. Hill should not be admitted to the Senate.” The Committee then recount the acts of Congress, proceedings of the Georgia Legislature and the testimony brought before them, and con clude a somewhat lengthy report as follows : “The right of Mr. Hill* to a seat in the Senate de pends upon these important considerations: “First, Did the Legislature, regularly organized, duly ratify the 14tli Amendment, and comply with the various conditions imposed by the Acts of June 1868 ? “Second, Have the Legislature and the people of Georgia, subsequent to such compliance with said Acts of Congress, committed such acts of ususpa tion and outrage as to place the State in a condi tion unfit to be represented in Congress? “Third, Whether in the whole case, taking the action of Georgia, both before and since the pre tended ratification of the 14th Amendment, a civil government has been established in that State, which Congress ought to recognize.” After referring to the laws, power and facts bearing upon the case, the report concludes as fol lows : “Your Committee are of opinion that under the Constitution of Georgia, there is no distinction in the right to hold office on account of race or color, and they are quite confident that such was the opinion of Congress at the time it approved that Constitution. “ This act of injustice and oppression denied the right of representation to a whole iace constitut ing nearly one half of the people of Georgia. It will not be contended that there is no power in the government to restrain in some form an out rage of this character. It certainly furnishes a strong reason why Congress should not, at this time, overlook the irregularities in the organization of the legislature of Georgia and admit her Sena tos; and this is not all: Your Committee have examined the official reports of the various officers connected with the Freedmen’s Bureau in Georgia, and fiud reported 336 cases of murder and assaults with intent to murder, upon colored persons by the whites, from January, 1868, to November 15 of the same year. In all of which there has been no legal redress, and scaicely any effort whatever on the part of the authorities to punish the criminals, and it is stated by these officers that they are unable to report fully as to the number and character of these outrages, on account of the intimidation of witnesses which is practiced by the perpetrators of crime. “Your Committee have no source of official in formation as to outrages committed upon loyal whites, but it is reported by various and numerously signed petitions and memorials from the loyal peo ple of Georgia, that they are constantly exposed to violence, and are without protection of law. It is a matter of public notoriety, that loyal white men arc persecuted and driven from their homes. Several members of the Legislature, have been compelled to take refuge at the Capitol of the State, where the National troops are stationed, to avoid the violence of the enemies of the United States. The unlawful and vindictive conduct of the Legislature, tends to confirm these statements and reports, and excludes all hope that the new civil government will afford adequate protection to life and property. Since the withdrawal of the military, crime has greatly increased, while punish ment for crime, has diminished. Wherefore, your committee feel called upon to recommend that Mr. Hill be not allowed to take his seat in the Senate for the reason that Georgia is not entitled to rep resentation in Congress.”' I have thus given you the conclusions of the Committee. They are specially important as in dicating the line of the dominant party North to day. While anxious to do everything in their pow er, for restoration of peace and harmony, they are equally anxious to secure the future. This they believe can only be done by strengthening the hands of Southern Union Men. In this connection, it may be mentioned, as a significant fact, that all of the newly elected Sena tors, belong to that portion of the Republican par ty specially designated as Radicals; that the Con servative movement in Virginia, and elsewhere South, is well understood in the National Capitol. More than all else; the report of the Judiciary Committee, indicates the course that will be pur sued toward Texas, Mississippi, Virginia and oth er States, where there is a conflict between the rec cognized loyal and disloyal element.
