The Georgia legislature.

The Georgia Senate has followed
the House in excluding its colored
members-an event the more extra
ordinary, because there was IA clear
Republican majority in the Senate.
The following conclusions, reached
bv the New York Evening Post i'll
reference to thc business, seem TO be
fair inferemces from the facts as re-
POI ted:
lst. That the members expelled
were expelled because they were
black.
I'd. That the vote for expulsion
was not II strict party !ote, some
white Republicans having voted
with the Democrats, and others llav-

the Democratic platform calls for
"Eq'lal Taxation on every species

ming the threatened duel between a captain

At this point person in military uniform. who

captain, That is not the way, sir, in which to
address general"
The captain replied: Z" Ny quarrel is with that
man, pointing TO the general, and not with
you. Allow me TO pass ITO the general. The
general refused to bulge, and the captain, seeing
a number OF ladies about, and unwilling TO inter
rupt the performance by a row, restrained his III

An envoy from the Dominican Republic has ar
rived in Washington with authority TO offer the
bay and peninsula Of SANTANA TO the United
States, for q naval station. on sale OF lease. The
premises are not so well supplied with earth
Quskes and hurricanes as st. Thomas, but 10 some
other respects are rather eligible. The peninsula
Is thrty-two miles long, and its greatest breadth
is eleven miles. while the highest point has an
elevation Of 1886 feet above the sea leyel-quite
sufficient, to be secure even against waves sixty
feet high, like that which washed out ST. Thomas
a few weeks ago. The bay is eight miles wide,
has an inlet depth Of forty miles, and forms one
of the finest haTbors in the West Indies or the
world.

SOMETHING ABOUT STANTON" Mack" writes
as follows to the Cincinnati Commercial: 4" One
of Stanton's last suggestions in the cabinet, he
said, was to increase the regular army to its
maximum, which would put it at nearly a hun
dred thousand men; also TO have an order issued
making desertion punishable by death. Stanton
came IN one day with proposition embracing
these two points, reduced to writing, The presi-
dent expressed his astonishment, aud inquired II
Gen. Grant approved such thing. Stanton re-
piled in the affirmative. Well said the presi-
dent, / am opposed to each of the propositions,
and especially TO both of them Stanton went
on 10 say the army was deserving in platOOns, and
nothing but rigorous enforcement of the death
penalty would stop it. The president said he
never heard of such thing as shooting for de-
serton in time Of peace. Stanton replied that
there was a law on the statute books now author
izDg il, but he couldn't find it,"
The president said the country would be unable
10 bear the expense Of the army filled to the max
imum. Ii would be a hundred millions year !;
but Stanton insisted that it ought TO be done.
When General Grant came into the cabinet the
president asked him if he had approved Of STAN
toms propositions and he replied that he had not,
that he hadn't seen them and knew nothing OF
them. Il could never approve OF thing like
that ;" said Mr.. Johnson, " to bankrupt the North
in order 10 raise big army to overrun the South.
There's too much of an army now and it's too ex-
pensive already"
Ii will be observed, from the above, that the
American Carnot had back action idea in view,
which was 20 recruit the army up to the maxi
mum first. and then shoot il down to the minimum.
The original Carnot never equaled that in bril-
liancy of conception.
