Georgia LIE Sisl atur e-seucstiOn OF
Negro Eligibility.

ATLANTA, Ga, August pa bill was
introduced in the House to-day to establish
a State police, and appoint a chief who
should appoint his subordinates in each
county, the whole to be under the control of
the Governor, and to enforce the laws and
preserve order.
A minority report on the eligibility OF
the negro members Of the House from the
Committee on Privileges and Elections was
presented. The Speaker decided, and was
sustained, -l02 to 3l-that the minority
report should be received in advance of the
majority report, as the majority had six
weeks to report in, and failed to do so. The
minority report claims that members repre-
senting counties and not residing therein,
and who are also free persons Of color, are
under the State Constitution ineligible.
The report also says that the majority of the
committee showed disposition to prevent
the investigation of eligibility.
A substitute was offered declaring all ne
grocs ineligible.
The Speaker decided, and was sus-
tained,-90 to 20-that in voting on eligl-
bility members whose own eligibility was
questioned should not vote on that OF other
members.

THE INTERNAL REVENUE MUDDLE.-
There will be, no doubt, q serious derange-
ment and complication in the collection OF
the revenue and management Of the Inter-
nal Revenue Bureau in consequence of the
difficulty between the President, Secretary
of the Treasury, and Commissioner Rollins.
There have been all along most stupendous
frauds upon and in this department, and
we may expect to hear Of still more and
greater, on account Of the disorganization
now existing. The Radicals Of Congress,
in their bitterness against the President and
determination TO take away his executive
power, have left one Of the most important
branches of the Government disorganized,
and without any fixed responsibility. This
vii cost the country probably many mil
lions of dollars through losses in the reve-
hue. The Presidents hands are tied he
can do nothing; and it is said this autocrat
Rollins, placing himself above the Presi'
dent, declines to resign unless he can pro-
cure such successor as will be acceptable
to himself. He, the autocrat Rollins, and
not the President Of the United States, must
Judge Of the fitness of his successor to the
commissioncrship Was there ever any
thing so disgraceful before in the history Of
our Government Mr.. Rollins has not yet
found successor to his taste, and there.
fore will not give up the office. That i.
where the difficulty lies, and is the cause OF
the present internal revenue middle and
diSorganization.- Neao York. Herald.

An ELorEMENT OF YOUNG LovERs.-On
Saturday last young miss about sixteen
years old, whose parents reside in the
vicinity of the Kirkwood House, left her
home in company with Harry Sackett, q
son of Mrs. General Sackett, residing at
Springdale, Va, who was arrested several
months ago on the charge of stealing his
mothers horses. Sackett was accompanied
bya youth named Charles Blanchard. Both
of these youths are about sixteen or seven
teen years of age. The girls parents at
once lodged information at police headquar-
tiers, and Detective McDevitt set to work
and soon ascertained that the parties ar
rived in Alexandria on Saturday; and
representing to Mr.. James Chatham that
they were the children of General Sackett,
he allowed one of his drivers to take them
to General Sackctts residence, where the
driver remained all night, and returned
home next day. On Monday Mr.. McDevitt
proceeded with the father CT the girl to
Springdale, where they found the girl under
the charge of Sackett's grandmother This
mother being ABSENT. The father of the
girl taking her in charge, she was brought
back to the city, appearing to be sorry for
the part she had played in the atfair.-Na-

PR0TEsTANTIsM IN FRANcE.-The Pro-
testant population of France is reckoned at
1000, about -thirtieth of the whole
small show compared with the times when
the flower of the nobility and almost the
total population of some provinces were
Professionals. The Reformed Churches recog-
nized by the State have l04 consistories,
4S9 parishes, with COZ annexes and S95
churches. The pastors number gel. The
Lutheran Churches, also recognized by the
State, have Al consistories, 232 parishes,
1919 annexes, 1872 churches, 3O3 pastors.
The average number of official pastors is
one for 200 or 300 souls. Professionalism
costs the State l,GOS,536f. per annum-
about $3.50, 900. The Independent Churches
number 1875 places of worship and 9S pas
tors. There are six societies for the evan
gelization of France, which cannot, how
ever, reach hundredth part of the need.
Their organ is the monthly Revue Chre-
tenue.

THE SPOT IN THE SUN.-The existence
of large spot in the disc of the sun was
mentioned about ten days ago, and Mr.. W.
S. Gilman, Jr., sends us this morning q
photographic sketch of the appearance OF
this spot, and says that he made the sketch
at New Haven with nine-inch glass
having magnifying power of 29O. Mr..
Gilman adds that this was the most remark
able sun-spot he ever saw. The length of
the spot was $500 miles, the black portion
extending for $4,000 miles, or to give a
more familiar idea of its magnitude, two
planets, each as large as our earth, could
have been engulfed within this chasm with
out squeezing. The periphery of the CEN
trail spot was mottled with black and gray
dots.-Ne,o York; Post.

A SOURCE OF TROUBLE UNDER THE REvE-
NUE. LAw.-As was anticipated, one feature
of the new revenue law is already giving
trouble. 1t is that which forbds any asses
sor, under a penalty of $4,000 for each
offence, from assessing special or license
tax against any rectifer whose establish
ment is located less than 600 feet from any
distillery. The assessor of the first district
having, in accordance with law, registered
the distillery of Aaron Reinstrom, located
at No. 2lS north Second street, he has been
compelled to decline Il license to certain
rectifers located within 600 feet of his dis
tillery. The rectifiers thus ruled out, I'M
less they remove beyond the prescribed
limits, are eight in number.-Philadelphia
