GEORGIA.

A Convention of the Harrison and State Rights
party of Georgia, was held at Miedgeve, ON Thurs
day, the 18th inst. The Hon VIM. G. DAWSON, a
distinguished representative in Congress from that
State, received the nomination of the Convention as
candidate for Governor, at the next election There
were lS9 ballots cast, without the announcement of
any name; and of these, Col Dawson received l76,
the remainder (thirteen) scattering, The MilIedge-
vile Recorder, in congratulating the party the
minaton says, that William G. Dawson is not only
the choice of the Convention but what is better still
he is unquestionaby the choice Of the people also.
" We will not attempt the very superfuous task of
introducing TO the people of Georgia, VIM. Z. Daw-
SON. of the county Of Green, either by eulogy the
services he has already rendered them by anticpa
ting the services he is yet TO render them; much less
by the very unnecessary trouble Of setting forth his
high personal qualities talented honest, and ge-
nerous hearted man. All this and much more, which
has endeared him to the people of Georgia Is quite as
well known to them to MS, and would render enco-
MUM on our part mere waste OF time.

FALL OF ST. JEAN D,ACRE

This celebrated fortress which stood often against
the battle and the siege and resisted for ages the great
destroyer Time, was reduced in four hours by the
British and allied forces and Sir Charles Felix Smith
c. b. &c. &c. &c. took possession of the ancient seat
of the Knights of St. John, See the graphic letter,
in another column, describing The capture.
All the Impressions produced by ii at distance
were nothing to those who afterwards stood within
the vast area, and hehcld the massive architecture
blended into one mighty ruin The rich hues of the
masonry the sweeping facades the various descrip-
tons of building framed for war, for luxuty-all
now having the common character of RUIN. The
teudal rampant the yawning posse the rude tower the
splendid ARCH the strength of fortress the magnif-
cence of palace-all united, struck upon the soul
like the history of fallen empire in all its epochs"

THE SENATE CHAMBER.

The apartment newly fitted up for the Senate has not
yet received passing notice ~ our hands II is in
deed tasteful and handsomely arranged room The
walls are elegantly painted with several figures and
designs in fresco the Speakers chair Is the coat
of arms Of the State, very wen executed, in the same
style. The ceiling is also beautifully painted The
painting done by Mr.. Ernest Dryer, Russian
who has been in city for months past and
who has given fine specimens Of his skill and
taste in his style Of painting In the Catholic Church
may be some which highly credtabe to him
The Senate Chamber Of which we We're speaking
apart from is neat appearance is now a very comfort
able and convenient apartment Instead OF ascending
three pair stairs before yon have merely TO cross
the Rotunda from the Hall Of the House of Delegates
10 reach it, This will be particularly gratifying in
Senatorial election times. The committee of the
House used to have To 90 up TO the floor OF the Senate
to the committee of that body to count the votes
and when there were eight or nine ballots taken pei
day, the committee of the House excessively ia
tigued IN the performance of that duty. They now
avoid this and tear OF legs, by just stepping
the way. We congratulate Messrs. Crutchicld &c
upon this improvement. - Richmond pd) Compiler

GOVERNOR MORROW.

The return of this distinguished and venerable
man to the National Legislature is thus noticed by
the New York Commercial Advertiser.
Pleasant il is, to look upon old faces, after long
absence which we love. And next to that, it is plea
SAINT to look upon old and familiar names long with
drawn from the public view. This latter pleasure we
have enjoyed on looking the committees of the
House of Representatives. MI. Corwn of Ohio,
having been elected governor Of that state, has been
Superseded at the head of the land committee, by Je-
remiah Morrow, elected TO Congress in his room
The of this now venerable man. is associated
with our earliest recollcctions of Congress mem
Der both OF the House of Representatives and the Sc
nate He returns to the House after absence of
more than twenty years. He was in Congress during
the administrations of Jefferson Madison, and Mon
roe and enjoyed the confidence of each of those great
men.

Extract ofa letter dated

JACKSONVILLE, l. F., Dec H. 1910
My DEAR Sir trust that Congress will do some
thing this winter towards ending this everlasting and
distressing Florida war--do for Gods sake make
some demonstration towards contamination so de-
srable not only for the citizens Of this Territory hut
for all the people of the Union and particularly for the
public Treasury. | know that General Harrison $
friends have said that he will end the war in 30 DAYS
after he is inaugu ated- and have no doubt he will
make an effort to do SO but am equally aware that
General Harrison, any other President, cannot do
it unless Congress give him the necessary means and
otherwise take some efficient action the subject II
the thing is to be done by negotiation or by buying
of the Indians then appropriation should be made
and powers granted ample for the purpose-and more
over the matter should be entrusted proper hands
and to men accustomed to such matters. We have
had enough Of "uhite talks and "Indian talks here
such they have been. II, the contrary the In
dams to be driren out, (Which is a much more
difficult job than is generally magined) power
must be given to raise volunteers-nnd no expert
enced officer will tell you that it can be done with any
force short of % 600 men. East Florida has never
been in a worse condition than at any period OF
the war, The travelling, in any direction is unsafe
without escort, and from St Augustine to
this place am obliged to have escort.

Mr.. Benton's Bin 10 tai Bank Notes-ln the
Senate Thursday last, MIR Benton brought for
ward his promised bill ito tax the circulation of banks
and bankers and of all corporations, companies and
individuals that issue paper currency. The Senator
introduced his bill IN long speech, setting forth lis
various merits, the chief beng that it would speedily
annhate all bills under twenty dollars and defend
ing its provisions by British precedent and long quo
tailons from MIR, Gaatin's essay the currency He
spoke of banking as the profitable business of con
verng lampbIack and rags into money, thought such
business ought TO be taxed in preference to salt and
announced for the thousandh time that he in
favor OF suppressng all notes under hundred dol
lars His speech displayed considerable research to
very httle purpose He stated, and truly, that since
1878, the British government had levied an annual
tax of f35O0 per million sterling on the paper circu.
laton of that country and attempted to show that
what jus; policy there in respect to paper cur
rency, would be Just policy here also
The honorable Senator overlooked one fact which
electually destroys his parallel England is state
with taxing power but here we have twenty ST
states and the government of each has the right to
tax It's own institutions The circulation of our banks
is taxed by the governments of the states in which
they are located and if made liable to federal impost
they would be doUbiy tdTed. Moreover such mca.
would be unconstitutional Interference with
the reserved rights of the states the Senator from
Missouri well knows but he and his party regard
neither the spirit of the constitution the plain prin-
ciples OF justice in their industrious and pcrsevering
efforts to bring the credit and currency of the coun-
try 10 the footstoo Of executive power.
But there is primary and fatal objection to Mr.
Bcntons bill of which he must have been when
he brought il forward II is a bill to create revenue
and the Constitution declares that all such bills shall
originate in the House of Representatives After a
debate of several hours Of which the greater portion
was consumed by Mr. Benton, he virtually acknow.
lodged the focc of this objection by asking leave 10
withdraw his motion for leave 10 introduce the bill -
His main object that of bringing up the question,
was he said accomplished This in effect a de
claraton that he had delayed the legitimate business
Of the Senate fer several hours in discussing
sure which that body could not consttuonally enter
tain Thus do the dcmngotues Of death smtcn
faction waste the time and money Of the country
thus do who profess Lc strict construc,ionstS
Of the Constitution, knowingly infringe that sacred
instrument IN order 10 gain opportunity 70 gasp out
