The following Official notices show that
Georgia is making provision to meet her old
bonds. We do not know what the debt of
Georgia is, but presume it is not as large as
that of North Carolina.

Admission of Tenn essec.-.Vicws
of President Johnson.

Congress having passed resolution re-
cognising Tennessee as res torcd to the Union
in consequence Of her h aving ratified the
constitutional amendments lately passed by
Congress, sent it to the President for his
signature. The President signs it, saying
that he does so TO relieve 4very cause, real or
imaginary, o: further delay in admitting loyal
senators and representatives from Tennessee,
or anv other state, though be can see no
need of his signature to this preamble and
resolution as in reality they amount only to
a declaration Of opinion, embodying no leg
islatioa Of any sort. The President also
makes the following remarks, wherein we
should say, in common parlancc, he rather
gets" the radical congress.
Among other reasons reci;ed in the pre-,
amblc for the declarations contained IN the
resolution, is the ratii CATION by the State
Government of Tennessee of the amendment
10 the Constitution Of the United States abol-
ishing slavery, and also the amendment pro
posed by the Thirty-ninth Congress. If, as
Is also declared III the preamble, said State
Government can only be restored 20 its form
er political relations in the Union by the
consent of the law-making power of the
United States, it would really seem to follow
that the joint resolution, which at this late
dav has received the sanction of Congress,
should have been passed, approved. and
placed in the statute before ally amendment
to the constitution submitted to the Leg
islature Of Tennessee for ratification. The
inference is plainly deducible that while, in
the opinion of Congress, the people ola state
may be too strongly disloyal to be entitled 10
representation, they may nevertheless, during
the suspension of their former practical re-
latons to the Union, have an equally potent
voice with other and loyal states in PROPOSE
tons to amend the constitution, upon which
SO essentially depend the stability, prosperity,
and very existence of the nation.
Had the President been on the stump in
stead of gravely addressing a message to
congress, doubtless the temptation to ridicule
would haYc been irresistible. \ resolution
declaring that seeded state could only get
back into the Union By legislative act, and
in the same resolution admitting such a
state without legislative act, is laugbable
enough but no more SO than this putting
the cart before the horse, by declaring that
Tennessee, while not a state, having perform
ed an act which only e. state can lawfully
perform. therefore Tennessee Is restored II

The COoL.IBirncy Fight.

We announce, with profound regret, that
the Cook-Birney fight over the republican
nomination for Congress, which ragged for
several DAYS with such delightful Jriskness,
and promised to assume such happy dimen>
sions, suddenly collapsed on Tuesday, and
has totally died ont. The business was done
by VIII county, the republican convention Of
which, on TuesIay, most unexpectedly
instructed It's delegates for Mr.. Cook. OF
course, without viii, Birney would be no.

the republican convention without opposi-
ton, aul "a nomination is as good as an
election perhaps.

The devotion of Father Perkins to his
chosen candidate for congress is touching.
He plies him with puffs as plentifully and
felicitous IN style and language as those he
SO profusely lavishes on dead-heading pea

roads. One would think, to read them, that
Mr.. Cook was the owner Of one grand and

which the whole country had a dead head

know, that ought to be exempt from criticism,

"ARMY CT THE RErUEiIc. This is the
name assumed by an organization recently
formed at Springfield, under ,he auspices of
Gen. Haynie, John \. Logan, Coz. O.lesby,
Gen. Palmer, &c, consisting exclusively of
soldiers of the late war. The object i.
be. to ''secure to the soldiers their proper
share Of the Offices" The necessity for some
such an organization was probably suggested
by the manner in which the. claims of the
soldiers were almost universally ignored in
the selection of candidates by the dominant
party last fall The truth is, there was
nothing So fatal 10 the prospects Of Il candi>
date for nomination in any republican con-
veutIon, as TO base his claims OF his services
as soldier. What secret means, oaths or
obligations, however, the soldiers have
adopted TO remedy this grievance, we are
not advised; only the following incident,
which came under our notice u few days ago.
may cast some light on the subject. y GER
tain soldier asked certain editor. also a
soldier, to support him fora certain rcpubli-
can nom nation. The editor said he couldr t
do it. Soldier No. ! replied that as both be-
longed to the Army of the Republic" the
editor must do It. Editor didn't so under>
stard it. Whereupon Soldier No. l said, .If
you don't support me, / shall have you
branded all over the State as perjured
kna7e.' Is the character of this Soldiers
Association such that one member of it
must support another member for any Office
he may aspire to, whether qualified for it or
not, or on refusal; be ''brandcd as per-
jured khave?''
