An Atlanta paper says: I'VE learn
from Milledgeville ti. tho the Senate
has passed resolution to send a
commissioner to Washington to rep
resent to the President the baneful
influences of negro garrisonsin Geor-
gia. He will be instructed to repre-
sent facts as they exist, and to spe-
cially direct his Excellency' s attention
to the uselessness of keeping this
Objectionable element among us. The
resolution was forthwith transmitted
to the House, and, no doubt, has
been adopted by that body. The
commissioner will carry with him the
earnest wishes of every lover of peace
and order for his success

hension of this disaster, yet the
House, at the opening of the session,
guarded against it by g. declaratory

only one dissenting voice But an
alarm has been raised, not so much
on account of any fear that the South
will not come into Congress with a
force equal to the task, and dispo-
sition tocuse their strength, or the
greater and newer dread Of rising
faction in, the North. There is said
to be an organization now in embryo
for making reputation a political

A significant fact developed in the
recent negotiations for q reciprocity
treaty between a committee of Con-
gress and certain delegates from the
British North American provinces is,
that the colonies, through these de-
legates, treated directly with our Go
vernment, and not by the interven-
ton of the British authorities, as
formerly. In the negotiations of the
original reciprocity treaty, the Com
missioner was appointed directly by
the Home Government, and was a
British functionary. The concession
to the colonies of the right TO choose
their own representatives, and to
treat with us without that formal me-
dlatlon, is very much like q virtual
recognition of their independence.

Outrnges by Ncgroes-A Reign OF
Terror I'm South Memphis.

The state of affairs in South Mem
phls is such as to excite serious ap-
prehensions. Armed. bands of ne
groes, numbering from ten to thirty,
generally soldiers or ex-soldiers,
prowl about the streets, s'splitting the
ear of night" with their fendish
carousals, committing all manner of
deviltry, and striking terror to the
hearts OF many defenceless family.
On Wednesday night, one of these
gangs were seen at several places.
Their conduct shows very fairly what
the negro is, when conscious of su-
perior brute force, and armed with
the bayonet. About 10 o'clock, the
party, numbering about eighteen or
nineteen, entered the grocery store of
an Italian, on the corner of Beale and
Shelby streets, and helped themselves
freely to the contents of fruit stand
within. Three of them carried mus
kets and accoutrements, and all were
dressed in full uniform, and had pis-
tolls. After satisfying themselves
with fruit, ETC., they went out on the
pavement and fired twenty or thirty
shots promiscuously. One of them
returned and fired at the store-keeper,
but fortunately did not wound him
seriously. The charge barely grazed
his side, and the pistol was so close
that the powder burned his flesh.
Some policemen hurried to the spot,
and arrived only in time to see the
rear guard, with three muskets,
closing up the safe retreat. They
then proceeded to the grocery store
of William Ryan. The front door
was closed, but they went around to
tie back door, which was open,
placed q guard there, and proceeded
to help themselves to whatever struck
their fancy. Five or six customers
were In at the time These were
quickly relieved of all their money.
Mr. Ryan himself was searched, but
happened to have no money on his
person except fifty dollars, which was
IN secret pocket and overlooked.
The money drawer was cleaned; what
amount was obtained we are not in
formed. BY way of assuring Mr..
Ryan of their power and soothing
him, they held pistol close to his
ear and fired it of;-very magnani-
nous in them not to blow his brains
out. They took in all about five hun
dred dollars worth of goods, besides
the money, and then departed leisure
ly. Such is tho reign of terror in
South Memphis, people close their
stores and houses early in the evening
to guard against violence; and when
an instance of this kind occurs, they
are almost afraid to report it to the
authorities, lest double vengeance
should be visited upon their heads by
the authors of their wrongs.

broke up in row. Of course the

was at the bottom of it, and although
he was not on the surface, he was sure
to have his hand in the fire. The

franchise bill was on its final passage.
1t is said thata sufficient number of
its opponents refused to vote, reduc-
ing the number voting below a
quorum. Col. Mullins requested the
Speaker to reqnire the members to
answer to their names. The Speaker
decided that there was not a quorum
present. Col. Mullins made some
reflection, which brought the epithet
''liar" from the Speaker. Col. Null
Inns returning the compliment with
additions, the Speaker threw his
baton at Col. Mullins head. Revol-
vers were drawn, and the interposi-
ton Of peacefully disposed members
prevented a disgraceful and bloody
fight. The Speaker then declared
the House adjourned.
