County, is elected Speaker.
Gov. Stone delivered his annual
umns of the ordinary newspaper
length. At the close of the fiscal
year, ending Novem Der 4. 1865. there
were $47, ,236 in the Treasury, inelud-
ing this amount, the receipts during
the fiscal period from the above date
up to November 4, 1867. were 81, ,4I2.-
395; and the expenditures 1874, ,654.

Nearly three hundred thousand
dollars of these disbursements were
expended under the extraordinary
appropriations made to the Orphans
Home Agricultural College, Asylums
for the Blind and Insane, and one
hundred and fourteen thousand dol
lars In liquidation of the bonded debt
of 1851 The estimated expenditures
for the coming two years are $941 ,659,
and to this must be added such ap-
preparations as the General Assembly
may consider necessary for the public
good. The resources for the same
period are estimated at $2,175,7 in
this amount is included 100000 due
from the United States.
The bonded debt of the State now
amounts to eighty-six thousand
dollars, which the Treasurer has the
money to liquidate. The only remain
ing indebtedness of the State is three
hundred thousand dollars of seven
per cent. bonds, issued for war pur-
poses, and not due until 1881. The
Governor recommends that these
bonds be paid with the three hundred
thousand dollars due from the United
States, that is If the holders will ac-
cept payment.
The Governor then discusses the
questions Of population, common
schools, State University, charitable
institutions, penitentiary, etc, all of

GEORGIA.
The UnreCOnstructed Press on Gen.
Meade-A Sudden and Remarkable
Change.

ATLANTA, GA, January 14.-The
ti-reconstruction press of Georgia
one week ago was overfowing with
praise aud adulation of Gen. Meade.
1t Is now as vehement ia threats and
abuse A Columbus paper says
: We have exchanged the devil for a
witch" A Macon paper, not yet ad-
vised of Jenkins removal, Eliminates
thus:
General Meade informs the Sword
and Bayonet Convention that they
shall be paid for their services in en-,
deavoring to radicalize the State of
Georgia. We know that Governor
jenkins will never sign a warrant for
one cent of the peoples money to be
withdrawn from the treasury for any
such illegal purpose. General Meade
will have to resort to his bayonets to
get possession of the funds from that
quarter. We shall see whether or not
he will dare take such a step. We
have been disposed to receive him
cordially, and give him credit for
an honest disposition to execute an
odlous edict of tyranny with strict
lmpartiality, believing, from his ante
cedents, that he was a soldier and a
gentleman, and not willing tool of
miserable faction. Ii we have been
deceived the readers of this journal
at least know H. We shall denounce
and hold up to public scorn and in
dignation General Meade or anybody
else who dares TO use arbitrary p3wer
to oppress and degrade a free people.
Let General Meade walk one inch out
of the path designated for him By the
law that gave him his position, and
he will learn, if he never knew it be-
fore. what it is tc fall under the ban
of people who do not believe that
obedience to the law and the Consti
tuition means patient and unprotest-
ing submission to the cruel and cause
less abuse of arbitrary power"

Hayes has appointed Mr.. John

Clerk In that office for some years,
and the appointment gives general
satisfaction. E. T Hall, Clerk of the
last Senate, succeeds to the position
of Chief Clerk IN the Secretary OF
State Office.
The following is the protest entered
upon the Senate journal to-day:
The undersigned Union Senators
of the State of Ohio desire to record
their protest against the unprecedent-
ed course pursued by the majority of
this body during yesterdays proceed
ings. upon the occasion of resembling
the resolutions by which the General
Assembly of Ohio ratified the four
teenth amendment of the Constitution
of the United States, for the following
reasons:
Il. The necessity and Justice of the
proposed amendment. Its provisions
are so manifestly right and fair, and of
such vital importance to the future
welfare of our common country, that
they believe no good argument can be
offered against its Incorporation into
the Constitution of the United States.
?. It was fully canyassed throrg :
out the State previous to the election
in 1866, and received the hearty ia.
dorsement OF the people. The largest
majority save one ever given at Con-
gressional election in Ohio, fully at
tests the will of the voters of the
Commonwealth upon this important
proposition, and that decision remains
universal and in full force.
3. The manner in which this meas
ure was forced through the Senate
under operation Of the previous ques-
ton, seems to them extraordinary
and Objectionable. They believe the
previous question is universally ac-
knowledged to be the dernier resort
In parliamentary practice, for the
sole purpose of closing pro-
tracted debate. 1t is never re
sorted to In the Senate of the
United States, and never has been by
(the Senate of Ohio during the service
of the oldest member now in this
body, and its use can only be justified
in large bodies when there is no other
way of ending the discussion. The
use Of it made on yesterday to pre-
vent debate entirely, they believe to
be without precedent. This action is
liable to still more serious objection.
from the fact that the minority asked
only a. few hours delay, which was
refused.

transcendent solemnity and impor-
tance of those acts of the General AS
sembly which relate to changes in the
fundamental law, and contrast them
with ordinary legislation, which is al

"Aas, for country! her pride is gone by" long
rishmen will say, to another it's useless to
contend with England at the present time she is the strong
est power earth" But not Ireland her strength And
were the Irish in her cities and towns her army navy
and police in her colonies and their
island but themselves, how pitiable would be Eng
lands weakness Even now the lingering spark which Fe
nianism has reknded all the olden cunning and
erocy with which she has hitherto divided and rted And
although recreant priests assist her in the of God and
base officials for hreling gain STILL suspicion creeps
through her guilty soul that the people ascending above
their old dscords and that dashng aside their petty dis
ncons and the fmy ignorance that has hitherto separated
them may hur her from the seat of msre which she has
long occupied We imagine the thoughts of many an
Irishman now returning to his native land.

Away, away, where the lingering beam
Of the sunsets golden glory,
Tips the old Round Tower with mystic gleam
That we catch from its Pagan story,
And lights with its smile
The pillard aisle
Of the abbey ruins hoary,
Flinging ray
Where the ivies play
Over the messy grave.stones gray,
Showing the creeds of later day,
In each sad memento mort.
Away, away, to that grand old isle,
The home of the rebels dreaming,
To see once more the rustic stile
And the light from the hearth-stone cleaning,
Nor kings, nor Popes,
To crush the hopes
OF our native lands redeeming;
To know the might
In that word-unite,
When Celt meets Celt, for brothers right
With none but Saxon foe to fight
For the green above us streaming
