SENATE.
The Senate, after some unimportant business,
proceeded to the consideration of the ten regi-
ment bill.
Mr. Crittenden, of KY, moved as substi-
tute that 900 volunteers be placed at the
disposal of the President. He thought that
the army that could conquer like Gen Scott,
could hold possess ion of the country against
any odds, and there was no reason now for in
creasing the troops one-half now in Mexico.
Lewis Cass defended the bill.
Mr.. Calhoun opposed both the bill and the
substitute of Mr.. Crittenden.
Jefferson Davis advocated the passage of the
measure. He, however, would prefer regulars
to volunteers.
The substitute of Mr.. Crittenden was lostby
yeas 10, nays 26.
The Senate then, on motion, adjourned.

The ADVANTAGE oE "REIIGJoUs ExPREssIoN"-
A lively correspondent of the New York Mirror,
writing from Rome, gives the following sketch of
a character he met there:
EVERY American artist that comes here sends home
dozen two of portraits of the beggars in the char
acter of Apostles, or Virgin Marys. sturdy old
fellow who blacks my boots tells me that he hasbeen
painted twenty EIGHT times in the character of Saint
Paul. thirteen times Joseph, nine times as Saint
Peter-he cannot remember how many times as the
"Roman Father, and as ''the Head of an Old Man. "
at least a thousand times One would think that from
assuming these characters so often, he would have
attained to uncommon sanctity, but he is in truth
the greatest rogue have seen in Italy.
The rascal prides himself goodneal on being sent
so often to America, and the other day he told me
that he believed there not gentleman's parlor
in my: country in which he or one of his family
was not hung up in gilt frame. He said to yes.
terday my and daughter have just been sent to
America again, one as "a Peasant Boy of the cam.
pagna," and the other as "a Roman Lady" Having
detected him that week in an attempt to secrete one
of my pocket handkerchiefs, to show his conrition
he said he and his daughter, (who is quite great
thief as her father 'would sit to of my artist
countrymen for holy family, II would promise no
to expose him." "A precious pair you are to be SURF
for Holy Family" said l. "Why Signor," said thu
rogue, my religious expression is worth two cent
an hour more than that of any other man in Rome.

MILLEDGEvlLLE, Dec. %, 1917.
The Wings met last night in the Senate
chamber for the purpose of taking some prelim-
mary action in reference to the next Presidency.
Hon. Seaton Grantland was called to the chair.
On motion of Col. Grieve, the chair appointed
a committee of thirteen to report suitable res
olutions for the consideration of the meeting,
The committee retired for few minutes, after
which the following resolutions were offered
through the chairman:
"RcsolUed, That this meeting held qCithout
distinction ofparties, only gives expression to
the public sentiment of Georgia, in nominating,
as il now does, Gen. Zachary Taylor as a candi-
date for President of the United States"
"ResolUed, That in order to carry out said
nomination, the people of the respective coun-
ties of this State, be requested to appoint dele
gates to meet in convention at Milledgeville on
the first Monday in June next for the purpose OF
nominating an Electoral ticket, and that each
county have the same number of delegates that
it had members of the General Assembly before
the reduction in 1872"
After the resolutions had been reported, Mr..
Crawford, of Sumpter, was loudly called for.
He responded in short but eloquent speech,
in which he declared that the time had come
to put the 'sball in notion and that the hero
of the Rio Grande was the man for the crisis
that to him the people looked to meet the
storm that was gathering in our political hori-
zon. The vote was then taken, and the resolu-
tons carried with but one dissenting voice.
The greatest harmony and good feeling pre-
vailed.
