There were no cases ready for trial in court
yesterday. Three or four actions which had
been assigned for that day were found to have
been adjusted by the parties. The trial of
criminal business will be entered upon to-day,
after finishing which the civil docket will be
resumed. 1t will probably require the re-
msinder Of the week to dispose of the crimi-
nal list. The statement in the papers that
Judge Danforth is to preside at the term in
Somerset which commences to-day is erro-
neous. He will remain here till the business
of the term 10 finished.

FORTY-FIRST CONGRESS.
WARRINGTON, March IA

W ARLINGTON, March IA.
SENATE. Mr. Trumbull. from the Judiciary
Committee, reported the Georgia bill with
conditions as it came from the House, and
proceeded to explain it and support Mr..
Bingham's amendment. He reviewed the
history of the reconstruction of Georgia, and
said that to yield to Bullocks demands and
allow him and the Legislature to hold their
offices for two years over the term for which
they were elected, would be a swindle on the
people of Georgia more infamous than the
attempt some years ago in Kansas to com
pei the people to submit to the govern
ment set up by a minority, and held there
against the will of the people.
He was of the opinion that if the power of
those officials could be perpetrated until Mar
4th, 1871, their tenure-of-o office could with
equal propriety, be made entirely unlimited
in eiecting United States Senators, whose
term of office did not commence until March
4th, 1871. The present legislature ignored
the legislature to be elected in the coming
fall, and usurped the functions rightfully be-
longing to its successors. He claimed that
the sole object of Mr.. Bingham's amendment
was to prevent the Government and Legisla-
ture from miscOnstruing the acts of Congress.
and to promote their own interests. He then
called attention to the practice of manufac-
turing newspaper correspondence and tele-
grams, for the purpose OF influencing the
votes of members. He cited a recent letter
from citizen of Georgia, to the effect that
Messrs. Hill and Miller would not be allowed
to live in that state if they were admitted to
seats in the Senate Yet Mr. Hill, he said
was q Union man all through the war, and
did all he could to sustain the Union. In
view of the facts that the Legislature and
Government were in harmony and the whole
military and power of the United States to
back them, there was no reason why the law
should not be enforced in Georgia, and an
election be held for state officers during the
coming fall Alter an executive session the
Senate adjourned.
HOUSE,. The House went into Committee
of the Whole, and was addressed by Mr.. Gar
field of Ohio, comparing the expenses and
receipts of the last and present adninistra-
tons.
As to Mr.. Niblack's remark about Massa-
chusetts having more than her share Of Chair
manships of committees, Mr.. Schenck show ed
that the West had nothing to complain Of
having the craftsmanship of the Committee on
Ways and Means, Banking, Public Lands,
Post Office, Indian, Military Affairs. District
of Columbia, Territories, Judiciary, &c.
The discussion was continued by Messrs.
Schenck of Ohio. Niblack of Indiana, Beck
of Kentucky, Garfield of Ohio, and Voorhees, of
Indiana, after which the committee rose, and
the House refusing Mr. Dawes motion for an
evening session, the House adjourned
