Georgia Affairs.

AUGUSTA. Ga, February 16 The
election OF United States Senators, as
stated yesterday, was finally made In
joint convention Of the Legislature to-
day.
Governor Bullock sent message
to the Legislature this morning, max
ing an elaborate argument that the
act of Congress of December 22d, and
the previous reconstruction acts, do
not render invalid any ordinary laws
passed by the several Legislatures.
All contracts catered into by the State
or by corporations, under State au
thority, are legll and binding. The
Govcrnor says the impression ought
not to be creited that the local laws
arc invalidated, State bonds repudi-
ated and that corporations organized
upon the oasis OF the late legislation
i without legal foundation, for Is is
entirely groundless.
Foster Bl0dget. ihis evening ad-
dressed letter 10 the Governor, re-
qucsting him to withhold tie certifi
Gates Of his election as Senator.
Mr. Biodgett exp an, his previous
political course, and refers TO his hav-
ing been indicted by political oppo
nents, for the purpose of destroying
his influence. He closes as follows:
Although those who procured the in-
dictment, now confess it was done for
political effect, and it rests uusupport-
ed by any proof; yet it is there, and
never, until it is Withdrawn, or have
been triumphantly acquitted, can [,
or will / accept the positi>a to whicn
the honorable suffrage OF my political
friends have elevated me.

THE House Bill regulating the sub
ject Of naturalization. about ready to
be reported by the Judiciary Commit
tee. requires four years residence OF
an alien before making application
for naturalization, six mouths in the
State, and thirty days in the district
from which it is made. When objec
ton is made to an alien becoming
citizen, provision is made for taking
testimony in a United States Court.
Proceedings for naturalization are to
be before the United States Courts,
instead of State Courts. as at
present; but in any county wherein
there is not holden annually more
than two stated terms of one or both
these courts, such proceedings may
be held in the court of highest juris-
diction in each State and territory
which holds stated sessions for the
trial of civil causes in such county
This Tfll take the power to naturalize
from the State courts In the principal

Kepprted gale Of Gold.

NEW York, Feb. 10 "A report
comes from Washington that the Sec-
refary of the Treasury so d through
a German banking house in this city
81 ,O00, 900 OF gold. The reason as
signed for the reported sale being that
the Secretary required more currency.
This motive seems inconsistent vita
the fact that the Treasury currency
balance is now $13,000,000. It also
appears that the Assistant Treasurer
having advised the Secretary Of the
Treasury, there is no authority for
the practice hitherto in force Of re-
eeiVing deposits of bullion at the Sub
Treasury against advances.
The Secretary. on Saturday, in-
structed the Assistant Treasurer to
notify depositors to withdraw deposits
within sixty days Tie total amount
a present deposited here is about So,
100000.
As the firm mentioned as having
sold gold for the Treasury is a de-
position of bullion. aud has been noti-
hed to withdraw its deposits, it is
possible the report alluded to may
have arisen from misconception Of
that fact. This supposition is c5n-
firmed by the fact that no such naso-
tiation as the one alluded to has been
made through the Sub Treasury.

Washington Items = Navy Enlist
mentS o. aSed.

WASHINGTON, February 16.-The
complement OF men for the Navy
allowed By law, viz: $1,000, having
been reached, the Department has di-
rected that enlistments shall cease.
The effect of this order will be to de-
tain the Colorado, which is destined
to relieve the Delaware on the Asiatic
Station, and to keep men attached to
the latter vessel over the term of their
enlistment. for which they will re
ceive one-fourth additional pay.
The Department has urged upon
Congress the necessity Of allowing an
additional number of men to meet
this contingency. but no action was
taken, and hence the Congress, Colo
rado and other vessels caurot sIii. In
any emergency that might arise, the
Department is powerless to supply a
single vessel to meet it.
The President, to day, sent to the
Senate letter from the Secretary Of
the Interior rel1ive to the claim of
the Central b, anch. Of the Union
Pacific Railroad to the Withdrawal of
the lands along the Republican Fork
route ia Kansas. The claim was re-
fused by his predecessor, and Secre
tary Cox has net been able, after
| careful examination, to Ooh con
trary decisioa. He has co. o.scduently
determined not tn disturb tne decis
ioa OF Secretary Browning.
The House Committee on Naval
Affairs, to day, had under cousidera
tion the bill for the reorganization OF
the navy, aud discussed the question
of positive and relative rank without

of the State Treasurer against the
Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance
Company, to be heard before the Su-
premc Court of Errors next week, is
most important, pecuaiar'y, ever
tried In Connecticut. It relates to
the taxability of the Government
bonds in the hands of the Mutual In
surance Company, and involves di
rectly S103 600, and indirectly very
much more The main question raised
under the section of the tax law. IN
which suit is brought, is whether the
tax is tax upon the franchise or
upon the property. and there is an
incidental point. whether the aseer-
tanned loss and dividends declared
bu. not paid, constitute part of the
proceeds of insurance.
