The Senate of Georgia on Thursday took
up the message Of the governor regarding the
action Of the Senate declaring the seats of the
colored members vacant The governor pro.
tests against this action as unconstitutional
and in opposition to the spirit Of the conven.
ton which framed the State constitution I'M
der the reconstruction acts claiming that
electors were the judges Of the qualifications
Of persons elected to represent them, and as
Stunning that if all the male inhabitants of the
State had free voice and place in the new
State government, the majority would keep it
in harmony with the national administration !:
and where all could enjoy equal civil and po-
litical rights there should be no just cause
for dissatisfaction.
The Georgia House on Thursday passed
by vote Of l0l to 49, substitute to the
jury bill, which places the grand and petit
juries on the same footing permits none but
intelligent and upright persons to sit on ju-
ries, and excludes negroes from the jury box.

HiGHwAY RoBBERY. - Henry Hobart, a
butcher Of Peacham, reports that on Friday
last as he was passing with his cart through
Peacham woods, he was attacked by three
highwaymen coming out of the bush. One
seized his horse, another aimed blow at him
with club, which he lodged, and the third
seized him about the body, whereupon they
succeeded in robbing him of sl35, in money,
and valuable papers. His coat was sadly cut,
or torn, in extracting the pocket-book from a
deep inside pocket, and the covering to his
cart was considerably damaged by the blow
which he escaped. Mr. II. is confident he
has clue to the robbers.

by the Executive Committee, declaring the

agreement the Boston Society gave up the
custom of appealing to the churches for con-
tributions, in consideration of the transfer of
the business done in books, &C., in Boston by
the New York Society. This places the Bos-

Virginia IIOsDitality,

The delegates to the Republican Conven-
ton in Warrentown, on the Doth ult, were
met by the sheriff of the place, and warned
not to enter the town. The Convention ac-
cordingy was held in colored church out
side the place. When the speakers were
nearly through news came that the citizens
were drilling in town in military tactics pre-
paratory TO an attack. The Republicans were
advised to fly to the woods to avoid a serious
riot. They accordingly fed in all directions.
The colored people are dreadiully alarmed.
1t is asserted on a most trustworthy author
ity that from three to four hundred white
men, fully armed, went to Warrentown spcci-
ally to prevent the meeting

SHOCKING MuRDR.-Mr. PERW RUSSELL,
a wealthy farmer Of Hinesburgh, 70 years of
age was murdered in cold blood about 8 o.
clock Saturday evening. He and his wife
lived alone and soon after retiring a knock
called him to the door, when he was struck
down with hinge from the barn door, and
so shockingly pounded about the head that he
died Sunday morning. The wife fed to the
neighbors, about hundred rods distant, but
before help came, the murderer had escaped.
Money unquestionably was the object of the
liend in human shape, but none was found.
Suspicion rests upon one Henry Welcome, re-
Gently released from our Jail, where he has

SPANISH REVOLUTION. - The rebellion in
Spain has become revolution, the Queen hav-
ing fled the country, and the government be-
ing entirely in the control of her opponents.
There are already limitations in different
quarters that this revolution will give Cuba
to the United States and it is quite likely a
protracted civil war would produce that result.

The people of Alabama may be congratula-
ted upon the success of their delegation asking
for troops to preserve order in that State.
The President has promised them that the
requisite number of troops for that purpose
shall be furnished, and the Secretary of War
is authorized to make the necessary arrange
ments. This action of the President is prob
ably due in part to the Camilla massacre,
which has demonstrated the fact that the re-
quest of the loyal people of the South for
United States troops to protect them in their
rights is inspired by no idle fears, but by a
danger which is real and imminent. To be
sure, there seemed to be some reason to doubt
whether his partisan feelings would not pre-
vent him from seeing and performing the
duty which, under the circumstances, plainly
devolyes on the Chief Executive Officer of
the nation. We are pleased to see, however,
that Mr.. johnson seems to have placed him.
self above party in this matter, and resolved
upon conscientious discharge of his official
duty.

IS to be precipitated by Southern rebels, as
they themselves tell us, and not by the North
ern Democracy at ALL Common sense and
prudence might restrain Democrats here at
the North, but it would not hold them back
at the South, as we know by sad experience.
Blair tells them that if a Democratic Presi-

construction acts into the dust" And de-
pend upon it they will do it. So civil war
will be inevitable.
