[Special Correspondence Sun and Enquirer.] Atlanta, January 14, 1874. Every one in Atlanta moves briskly, more now than usual, for the Legislature is in session. Ilotols and boarding houses are full, and the proprietors are happy. Thoy expect a rich harvest. Atlanta moans to be the capital of tho State as long as Rho can. It pays. both Houses of the Legislature met to day. Tho Senate bad a quorum, and in tho House one hundred aud twenty-four members were present. Semite. Senator Harris was armed with a reso lution which provides for a joint com mittee of both Houses, to which to refer all constitutional amendments. Mis ob- joct is to avoid tho bnrdeusomo expense of a Convention. Senator Harris introduced a bill con demning the retroactive foatures of tho Congressional bill, aud expressing gratifi- cition at its repeal. This is pure bunkum. Southern Congressmen ought to take all pay they enu get. A joiut committee was appointed to in vestigate tho Macon and Brunswick Rail road, which has passed into the posses sion of tho State. A number of local aud general bills were read the first time, among thorn one to onforoa the laws regarding concealed weapons. AMENDMENT TO THE LIEN LAW. Judge Keoso introduced a bill which is iu substance us follows : Seotion oue provides that from and af ter the first day of November, 1874, no liens shall arise or be created, by contract or by tho operation of law, upon annual orops, except lions in fuvor of landlords, for supplies, and for rent, aud of laborers for labor, which lions of landlords shall arise by operation of law, and shall have the same precedence as to uuuual crops as special rent liens under the existing laws. Section second provides that any and every conveyance, whatever be its form, if intended to create a law in violation of the provisions of this act, shall bo a ques tion of fact to bo tried by a jury. Senator Blanco introduced a resolution calling a constitutional convention on the first Tuesday in April, and providing for au election of delegates on tho first Tues day in March, each county to be entitled to twice its representation in the House, each senatorial district to have two dele gates at large. It is exceedingly doubtful whether such a measure will pass, as the general sentiment is against it. Tho Governor’s message was read early in tho session. You were sont a copy, and I supp9Re, of course, it has boen pub lished. It is regarded as an able and sen sible document. President Trammell made only a few remarks. The House was called to order. Speaker Bacon mado a brief talk. Resolution, by Raid, of Wilcox, that the Capitol building being uusafe, that the House adjourn on tho 10th, and meet on th® following Tuesday Millodgevillo. This wont pass. By tho casting vote of the Speaker, the Representatives from Rockdale,McDuffie, Douglass aud Dodge counties wore al lowed, after debate, all the privileges of members, save tho right to vote. Members aro again becoming scared, and resolutions providing for an immedi ate examination of the Capitol by compe tent architects were adopted. Deaths of two members were announc ed, aud suitable resolutions passed. Threo membets, elected in placo of those who havo died, wero sworu iu. One thousaud copies of the Governor’s message wero orderod printed, and tho various subjects appropriately referred. The tax and appropriation bills, by res olution, will take precedence over all others, and tho committee was instructed to report them as soon ns practicable. A resolution to hold a State Convention in Mav, will be introduced to-morrow. OEN. TOOMBS' SPEECH. GEORGIA NEWS. —Merino Bhoep delivered in North Georgia cost eight dollars. —Rev.

Washington, Jan. 15.—The House res olution looking to cheap freights on river and railroad transportation, and to put down tho tug boat combination at the mouth of tho Mississippi rivor was intro duced, and referred to tho Committee on Railroads and Canals. Senate. Numerous petitions for woman suff rage were presented. A bill to establish post routes through out tho country was taken up. Tlie Mexican War Veteran'* Con vention. • Tho delegates to tho National Conven tion of Mexican war veterans represent all portions of tho country. Thoy, at noon, mnrehod from their headquarters to Willard's Hall, with a band of music, un der escort of tho President’s mounted guard, a local organization. Tho conven tion was called to order by Gen. J. W. Denver, who said its objects wero tbo preparation of a memorial to Congress, asking pensions for all survivors of tbo Mexican war, or tho passogo of a law similar to that of 1871, giving pensions to the survivors of the war of 1812 ; also to adopt measures for the orgauizntion of a National Brotherhood of Mexican veter ans, aud for a representation at tho Cen tennial Exposition at Philadelphia iu 187(5. The convention, however, need not be confined to tlieso objects alone. Those who favored the cull were animated by a desire to meet comrades from all sections of the country, and thereby re new old associations. There were some who behaved well, but were now indigent and unable to take care of themselves; therefore one of the objects of the convention should be to prevail upon Congress to pass a law to admit them to tho Soldiers’ Home, located near the city of Washington, which was purchased and established with the money obtained from Mexico by tho valor of our arms. Tho invitation now being open only to soldiers of tho regular army. In speaking of tho Mexican campaign, Gen. Douver said our troops attacked the Mexicans in their own country, captured their strongholds, opposing to them not more than one-third or one-fourth as many Americans as thero wero Mexicans in the field. That war continued two years without a single reverse to our arms, and hcuco it was right tho surviv ing veterans should meet and remind tho people of their country that tho victories were secured, not for one section of our country more than for another; but what they did was for our common advantage ond renown. Gou. Denver was frequently interrupt ed by applause. A temporary organization was effected by tho selection of Gen. Denver as Chair man, aud A. M. Kenueduy us Secretary; and a committee was appointed on cre dentials aud permanent organization. The National L'lutap Trnimportiit ion Con\ (*ntion—Address of CoS. l'robel. The National Choap Transportation Convention, at their meeting, this morn ing, wore addressed by Col. Frobel, of Georgiu, as tho Representative of Gov. Smith of that State, who had boen invited by tho committee to speak on tho sub ject of cheap transportation, but whoso official duties detained him at homo. Colonel Frobel showod tho necessity of some cheaper mode of transportation than at present exists for tho heavy pro ducts of tho country, and that water aff ords tho best meaus for tho accomplish ment of this desired object. Ho advoca ted a national system, tho benefits of which should reach all sections aud all interests, aud considered as folly tho cry that tho country could not afford such works, comparing this cry to tho folly of tho farmer who would suffer thousands of bushels of grain to rot in his field because he could not afford to pay fifty dollars to buy a wagon to haul it to a profitable mill. The small politicians had opposed a general system of water improvements, on tho ground that thoy would cost a hundred millions, and had uttered the cry from one end of tho land to tho other, in answer to the wail of need;this drowned the voice of the people, hushed tho com plaint of decaying interests, aud from be hind this pretence of a virtuous economy they tollod the death knoll of prosperity iu this cry of a hundred millions. Col. Frobel spoke nt length on tho necessity of building up our manufactories und homo trade between tho Stales, und reviewed tho present condition of tho cotton inter ests, showiug it was rapidly decaying. In conclusion ho reviewed the present finan cial condition of tho country and tho causes. The Colonel was frequently applauded during his remarks.

Cushing re questing the withdrawal of his nomina tion : To the President: Sir—Animated by the sense of pro found gratitude for tho honor you have done me iu nomiuuting mo to the high of fice of Chief Justice of the Supremo Court of tho United Slates, aud perceiving that tho continuance of my nuino before tho Senate may be the cuuuo or occasion of inconvenience to yourself or your politi cal friends there, l respectfully request you to withdraw tho nomination. Permit me to add that tho charges of disloyalty to tho Union and tho Consti tution, which havo been brought against mo iu this connection, aro merely desti tute of foundation in truth or iu fact. I indignantly repel the imputation. In the time auterior to tho commoncotuoul of hosfllitios in the Northern States, every act of my political life, m whatever relation of parties, was governed by the single dominant purpose of aiming to pre serve tho threatened integrity of the iTuion, and to avert from my country the calamity of its disruption and of conse quent. fractrioidal carnage. How could such a purpose bo promoted otherwise than by political associations or personal intercourse with citizens of different States, including those States professedly disaffected to tho Union'! Should tho only possible means of laboring to prevent civil war bo stigmatized as disloyalty to tho Constitution? But immediately on the occurrence of the first act of hostility to the Union being struck in tho Stato of South Carolina, 1 took my stand with tho Union und its Government. I publicly announced my adhesion to them iu tho most unequivocal terms. 1 tendered my services to tho Government, in the field, or iu any other way which might testify my fidelity to it, and I havo continued, from that day to this, us woll in an official us un unofficial action, to tread iu tho path of unswerving devotion to tho Union, whether during tho actual progress of hos tilities against it, or iu the subsequent events of itsroconstructiyn,and of tho suc- cossivo amendments of the Constitution, rendered necessary by the changed condi tions nnd relations (if tho several States of the United States, and of thoir respective inhabitants. The recent amendments of the Consti tution, each and all of them, as they wore in turn adopted, and tho legislative acts for their enforcement, unit for accom plishing reconstruction, had my co-opera tion and udhesiou, and 1 havo supported them constantly, if not, in political de bates, for which my comparatively re served habits of life afforded neither oc casion nor opportunity, yet in legal opin ions or in tho courts, and in counsel or discussion with officers of the mont, members of Congress, and privet persons. I entertain tho same general re spect for those amendments ns for other provisions of the Constitution, and* also rendering tho special observance duo to them as tho just and nocossary incidents of tho reconstruction of tho Union. While my nomination was undergoing consideration in tho Senate, it would havo been unbecoming for mo to speak in ex planation of my acts or opinions ; but now, with relative indifference to what ever elso may have been said, either hon estly or maliciously, to my prejudice, ll belongs to my Reuse of public duty, and it is my right to reaffirm, to declare, that I have never, in the long course of a not inactive life, done an act, uttered a word, or conceived a thought of disloyalty to the Constitution or the Union. I havo the honor to be, Very respectfully, fKignod] C. Cushing. i Liverpool, January 15, 10 r. m.—Cot- , ton quiet and unchanged; sales 12,000 bales, including 2,000 for speculation aud 1 export.
