Mr.. Williams moved to set apart Thursday

The Currency.
Mr.. Sherman, from the Committee on
Finance, made report, which was adopt
ed. The bill is the same as that passed by
the Senate, except that the amount Of new
currency was fixed at ffty-four millions
of dollars instead of forty-five millions.
In reply to inquiries by Mess-s. Conk-
ling and Trumbull, Mr.. Williams stated |
that the Comptroller of Currency was to
provide Immediately for the distribution
of this increased circulation of fifty-four
millions, giving the Western States what
they were entitled to under the existing
law, and that as soon as the census for
1870 were in, a re distribution was TO be
made. .- ---- -- Er
Mr. Trumbull thought it most extra
ordinary to provide for the establishment
of banks for taking up an additional
S54, ,OOO, 900 within the next three months,
and then require redistribution few
months later.
Mr. Sherman replied that under the
existing law it would take ninety days to
organize banks, and therefore the census
could be ascertained before any
bank could be established.
Mr. Trumbull said there would then be
no distribution under the existing law.
The report was adopted.
The Senate resumed the consideration Of |
the naval appropriation bill, and then took |
recess. . .. ..-... -. ...H.r

The Fire Lnsf Nirht.a

Last night near II o'clock a fire broke
out in the dry goods and clothing store Of
George Barker, on the corner Of Capitol
avenue and North College, street. The
building was small one story and half
high structure, and belongs to Mr.. French
as does also the building adjoining. The
flames had made considerable headway.
the alarm was given and the inside of the
building was pretty well gutted. Mr..
Barker lost almost his entire stock Of
goods. Mrs. Sai.d's who kept a millinery
establishment adjoining, also, lost most
OF her stock. Barker's loss was estimated
at about Sl,500, which was pretty well
covered, as we learned by insurance
The loss Of Mrs. Sands is between 300
and ) 200, which as We were informed
was not insured. The buildings were
badly damaged, though the exact or even
approximate loss we did not learn, nor did
we ascertain the origin of the iire. The
hre department was promptly on hand
and prevented the spread of the flames.

we Tear that some OF our independent,
no-convention, judicially aspiring friends,
are likely to have gone too far in opposi-
ton to conventions to select nominees for
office. 1t is the policy of the Radicals
with whom they would herd to hold con-
ventions to nominate judicial candidates,
and to secure thorough organization
wherever there is the slightest chance of
success; but in those localities where
they have little chance, they uniformly
oppose party conventions, and as elo-
quently as deceitfully prate of the wick
edness and corruption of all parties 1t
is only by thorough and persistent or
ganization that any party can long
maintain its ascendency. Large as
is the Democratic majority in this State,
it viii not take long to fritter it away by
needless chickering's and useless divisions
and he is no true friend of Democratic
success who would counsel such course
now az shall necessarily tend to give sue
cess to our Radical opponents. Let us
weld together and concentrate our
strength by all the means and appliances
which we can command, and let all who
would make diversions for the enUmy be
regarded as the secret enemies of good
government ever deserve to be. Let US
nut good in nomination for all offices,
and by the most thorough Organization,
perpetuate, for long years to come, the
benign influence of Democratic sway

THE BULLOCK DYNASTY.

If Bullock and his party in the Leg
islaturo possessed any sense Of honor, Of
propriety, or shame, they would at once
desist from all resistance to the popular
demand for an election in November
next.
If, as they claim, their term of Office
legally begins now under the new bill,
then they should at once restore to the
State Treasury all they have appropri-
ated or stolen in the past two years, as
their claim to office for the next two
years is confession that they have act
cd without authority the two years past.
They either have not been acting as
officers elected under the Constitution Of
the State, or, they must cease to act
now as such officers.

LEGISLATIVE.

Our Agency continues the introduc
ton of, and debates upon new matter,
generally of a local nature, though the
educational quection clicits occasionally
the animus of the "social equality" mem
bors. On the 25th the negro Messen-
ger shot and killed the negro member
Claiborne from Burke County. 1t would
have been better for them il the Agency
had adjourned last week,
The resolutions to prolong the tenure
of the present Office holders were up for
discussion on Wednesday, a majority
favOring. They may pass them but they
cannot override the Constitution and

AGREED.

The atlanta Constitution says "an
election will be held throughout the
State of Georgia on the Sth day Of No
vember next for the lower House of the
General Assembly and one half Of the
members of the Senate"
The good people Of ChattoOga County
met in public meeting and resolved that
they will hold an election.
Bullock and his forty plundercrs may
bring into question the rightful authori-
ty of Legislature elected by the pco-
pie; but he will hardly attempt to pre-
vent the people from peaceably voting
at the polls in accordance with the State
Constitution. Nor will the attempt to
stretch the authority of the present Leg
islaturc so as to assume the control Of
powers vested only in the Constitution
prevent the people from asserting their
organic right, The election will be
held.

HORRIBLE MURDER NEAR MARIETTA
We learn that a lady named Sloan, liv-
ing near Marietta, was murdered yester-
day morning about ten o'clock upon, her
farm. The premises were robbed of
two thousand dollars in gold, which the
murdered lady had just received. Nine
negroes at work upon the farm are i'm
plicated in the murder, and have been
arrested. A daughter Of Mrs. Sloan,
was wounded during the struggle, and
was enabled to identify the mnrderers.
The gold was found upon the negroes.
The murderers are under heavy guard
and the civil authorities have been APP
piled to, to bring them into safe quarters.
1t was one of the most wanton and
horrible murders ever perpetrated in
we trust the guilty parties will be sum
marily dealt with according to law. We
have not been able, up to this time of
writing to get further particulars of this
tragical affair.-AtIanta True Georgian.
The above is fabricated sensation,
not a word of it is true.-JoURNAL.

The N. Y. World and Louisville Cow-

insist, in the organization Of the Democ-
racy, upon ignoring dead issues, among
which the most prominent is negro suf-
frage. In the old free States it will be
difficult to ignore a fact forced upon the
country by usurpation and fraud in the
South sound policy will compel its peo-
pie to pretermit all discussion Of the

THE GREAT EEGETABLE BLOOD
MEDICINE.

Cherokee Indian Bitters possess an
energy which seems to communicate
new life to the system, and renovate
the feeble, faintinS powers of natnres,
Its operation upon the tissues of the
body, does not consist in affecting the
irritabiIity Of the living fiber, but in i'm
parting a sound and healthy stimulus to
the vital organs. 1t strengthens sub
stantially and durably, the living power
of the animal machine is entirely in
noccnt and harmless; may be admins
tered with impunity to both sexes, and
all ages and conditions of life. There.
is no disease Of any name or nature,
whether of young or old, male or female,
but that it is proper to administer it,
and if it be done scasonably and perse-
veringly, it will have a good effect. 1t
is perfectly incredible to those unac-
quanted with the Cherokee Indian Bit
crs, the facility with which healthy
action is often in the worst cases rcstor-
ed to the exhausted organs of the sys-
tenn with degree of animation and
desire for food, which is perfectly as
tonisling to all who perceive it. This
medicine purifes the blood, restores the
tonic powers of the fbers, and of the
stomach and digestive organs; rouses
the animal spirits, and substantially for
titles and teammates the broken down
constitutions of mankind.
