LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS.
ATLANTA, Sept. 1.-THE Senate to-day took
up the message OF the Governor regarding the
action of the Senate in declaring the seats of
colored members vacant The Governor pro-
tests against the action of the Senate as IN
CONSTITUTIONAL and in opposition to the spirit
of the Convention which framed the State
Constitution under the Reconstruction act,
claiming that the Electors were the Judges of
the qualifications of persons elected to repre-
sent them, and assuming that if all the male
inhabitants of the State had free voice and
place in the new State Government, the ma
jority would keep it in harmony with National
Administration, and where all could enjoy
equal civil and political rights, there would be
no just cause for dissatisfaction.
The House passed to-day, by vote of 101 to
49, substitute to the jury BILL which places
the Grand Petit Juries on the same footi NO.
and permits none but intelligent and upright
persons to sit as jurors, and excludes negroes
from the jury box.

NEW YORK, Sept 17.-Advices from Hayti
state that an amnesty has been proclaimed in
favor of all but the leaders in the late rebel
lion, and the President had made an offer to
surrender Miragoane to Salnave's forces. The
Caoos were concentrating their forces to arrest
the new movement in favor of Salnave.
1t is probable that the whole South will re-
turn to Salnave should Gonalves and Cape

Especial Dispatch by Western Union Line.l
BATH, Sept. 1.-THE slight rain yesterday
laid the dust and put the streets in the most
admirable order. The fine invigorating North
West wind this morning made it a most de-
lightful day for the fremen, which has proven
perfect success, aud second to none ever held
in this State.
The city is literally crowded with strangers
to witness the display The Chief Marshal,
Col. S. d. Bailey, with his aides, Col. j. 5.

Duncan, III. A. Hyde, e. A. Potter and j. w.
Ballou had so admirably perfected the ar
rangements that the line was formed immedi-
ately on the arrival of the trains, and took up
their line of march through the principal
streets to the front of the Park, where the
whole line was reviewed by the Chief Marshal
and his aides. The march was resumed
through the balance of the streets halsing on
G commercial Wharf, where the inner man was
cared for by a fine collation. provided by Frank
Foote, Esq, in the new block owned by b. G.
Bailey, Esq.
There were seventeen fire and hose compa-
MES in the procession, among them three
steamers, seven brass bands distributed at an
equal distance, discoursing most excellent mu-
sic.
After the dinner was well disposed of the
steamers took their stations on Commercial
street for trial. and tho contest resulted as fol-
lows: The Bath steamer won the first prize
The baud engines played opposite the Park
with the following result: The Torrent, of Hal
lowell, took the prizs for the first-class, and
