ResClred, That the committee on privileges and
elections be directed to inquire into the eligibility
of several persons of color holding seats sena-
tors and report at the earliest day practicable.
Mr.. Huugerford, radical, said: There il
higher opinion than Governor Brown's-that Of a
United States senator, which has settled it-who
holds a higher Office than Brown has yet held
mean Sumner, who, in a letter, said there was no
reason why cOlored persons should not hold Office
OF anything else that any one can under the Con-
stitution of the United States. The passage of
the fourteenth article settles that question forever
in Georgia. The Constitution OF this State pro-
claims that all persons, born or nsturalized whose
residence here makes them citizens of this State,
10 law can be made to abridge their privileges.
Does it simply mean that they may breathe and
work or are they entitled to all the privileges of
American citizens?
The resolution was defeated.
The Senate and House have appointed the 2Sth
inst. for the election of United States senators
and State officers. Joe Brown aud Foster Blod-
gett have been nominated candidates by the Re-
publican party. No nominations have been made

Gen. Schofelds report gives the whole
number Of voters registered in Virginia as

lo5, $50 colored. OF these, 4i,0l7 whites
and 1869 blacks failed 20 vote on the
question Of calling a cOnv ention.
Judging from the tax lists, and other
data, the number Of whites who failed to
register il 1888, but he can not say how
many are disfranchised under the recon
stfuction laws. Gen. Candy reports lO6,-

THE STORY OF THE McDONOUGH
WILL.

Old John McDonough, of New Orleans,
devoted third of his life to the prepare
ton of his singular will, and even took
the trouble and bore the expense of con-
.sultation with eminent Partisan advocates,
whose approval of his dispositions was
source of great comfort to him. His will
was most carefully written out by himself,
in the most elegant and approved style,
with his name subscribed at the bottom of
every page, and the writing made to fill
the sheets, so az to leave no margin or
space for interlineation. Ii was embraced
in forty pages of foolscap, and besides the
minute and elaborate direction in regard
TO the execution of his proposed grand
charity, was interlarded with pious reflec-
tions and sentiments, which, when read out
in court, gave it the appearance of SER
mon more than of a formal settlement.
For many years before his death, he used
to rub his hands with glee, and his hand
some face would brighten up with pride
and disqualification whenever hereferred 10
that great instrument, which was to carry
him down to remote posterily the benefac-
tor of his age. This elaborate and most
studiously prepared will was torn all to
pieces by the courts and lawyers, and the
grand estate, intended 10 bless and elevate
generations of the poor and unfortunate,
was squandered in the most reckless and
Improbable manner, and TO this day not
one Of the many objects which were con-
templated in his charitable dispositions
has been realized save the erection Of a
cheap mausoleum in which 20 deposit his
remains.

The case of John Ii. Surratt was taken

case, he stated, was most important one
it embodied in ITS features a grave ofiense
against the public, aud weuld be, whoever

connected with an attempt TO destroy the
government, or ole OF the details of that
attempt, although out of season for that
purpose. It. nevertheless, was one Of the
entailments Of an attempt Dot only 10 de-
strOy peraonal life, but the life of the ma
ton, and 10 that point of view a rises 10
