GEORGIA.


The Senate has disposed of the Georgia
bill, not, it is presumed, as Bullock and
his strikers desired. The substitute of
Mr.. Pomeroy for the Bingham amend
ment declaring the existing government
of Georgia provisional, and providing for
the election of Legislature on the 18th
November, was adopted by ayes 81, noes
"a. The telegraph reports the vote as fol-
lows, but it will be seen three names are
omitted from the ayes:
Yeas-Messrs. Abbott, Ames, Anthony,
Buckingham, Carpenter, Casserly, Cole,
Corbett, Cragin, Davis, Edmunds, Ferry,
Fowler, Hamilton (Md.), Hamlin, Har-
Ian, Howe, Kellogg, McCreery, Morrill,
(Me.), Morrill, Vt), Patterson, Pomeroy,
Pool, Pratt, Robertson, Salisbury, Saw.

Drake, Fenton, Flanagan, Hamilton of
Texas. Harris, Howard, Howell, Melon
aid, Morton, Nye, Osborne, Ramsey,
Revels, Rice, Ross, Spencer, Stewart,
Sumner, Thayer, Williams, Wilson and
Yates.
Messrs. Cameron, Gilbert and Chandler,
against the amendment, paired off with
Messrs. Bayard, Vickers and Conkling in
favor of it.
The question then being ON the adop-
ton of the amendment of Mr.. Wilson,
as amended by Mr.. Pomeroy, and to
strike out Mr.. Bingham's amendment, it
was determined affirmatively-yeas, SO,
nays, %.
Changes from previous votes were
Brownlow to aye and Trupbull to nay.
Messrs. Cragin and Ramsey did not
vote.
MI. Wilson moved to postpone the fur
Their consideration of the bill indefinitely.
Lost-yeas, %; nays, 90.
Mr.. Sumner moved to adjourn, re-
that the bill had been so changed
that it would not be known by the oldest
inhabitant. Laughter.
The motion was subsequently with
drawn.
Mr.. POmeroy then moved his amend
HCHl as SuDSlltulC 1OI the NuOlG Dlll.
Carried-Yeas So, nays %.
Mr.. Nye congratulated the Democratic
side upon having voted solidly to put
Georgia back under military rule.
Mr.. Thurman, OF behalf of the Demo-
cratic side, declined TO be led into discus
sion at this time.
Mr.. Drake offered an amendment au-
lhorizing the President to suppress do
nestle violence, to suspend the writ of
habeas corpus, and to make municipal
ties responsible, in case of damages, for
injury to persons or property within their
limits, and not suppressed by them. Re
jected.
It is stated that Georgia is to remain
in Congress until after the
election provided for by the Pomeroy
Should the House agree to
he action of the Senate, will it not ne
,essitate the election OF Representatives
md Senators in Congress- That ques-
lou will probably be held in allegiance by
Congress until the character of the Leg
stature to be elected shall be ascertained.

quently 60 to Europe and compete with
Russian wheat, that IS exempt from all
these taxes. In this enumeration of the
burdens imposed on the American farmer
we have taken no account of the tax on
the labor employed, which enters 50
largely into the problem. Farmers COM
plain universally and bitterly that
labor is SO high they cannot
afford to employ it-and the complaint is
well founded. There was scarcely sin
gle Iowa wheat raiser who hired labor last
year, who did not come out behind, in
his business. And yet the laborer cannot
work forlower wages. lie, too, is heay-
lily taxed for the protection of the favored
industries at the East he is taxed on eV-
cry stitch of clothes on his body, on the
hat on his head, ON the shoes on his feet.
Al these taxes (only one-ffth OF which
goes to the Government, while four-fiiths
go 10 the home manufacturers) enter
into the cost of bushel of Iowa wheat,
or.of Illinois corn. Thus the effect OF
protection upon the farmer is to exact
from him one-half the cost of his wheat
in tribute to favored monopolists, and to
debar him from the market where he
could get a good price for it.

GRANT,s NEW JUDGES.

Judge Bradley, who was recently ap-
pointed by Grant an Associate Justice of
the Supreme Court of the United States,
is reported as saying he sold his stock in
the Camden and Amboy Railroad before
his nomination was confirmed, and Judge
Strong, the other appointee of Grant,
says he will sell his before the legal ten
der case comes up before the court The
Washington correspondent of the Balti-
more Gazette wrote as follows several
weeks ago:
1 state, on the authority of newspa-
per published in this city, and known to
be in the confidence of the dominant par
ty IN the Senate, that before Judge Brad
ley's confirmation could be secured, a
pledge was given by him of agreement
with the Radical party upon several spe-
cific questions, which are certainly to be
brought before the Supreme Court.
Among the questions is one which have
already been solemnly decided by the
court-namely, the unconstitutionafty of
the Legal Tender act. Other cases, in
volving the same principle, are to come
before that tribunal; and it is under these
circumstances that the Republican of
this city, another Radical organ, remarks
as follows:
'In the recent legal tender decision,
Chief Justice Chase, Justices Nelson,
Clifford, Field and Grier formed the ma
jority, and whose opinions were an
nounced as the opinion of the court JUS
tees Miller, Davis and Swayne dissenting,
holding that the legal tender act is
constitutional. Judge Grier has retired
from the bench, leaving but four justices
to sustain the late judgment of the court,
whilst Justices Strong and Bradley are
added to the former minority in sustain
ing the legal tender act"
The Republican innocently enough
adds that ''the difficulty arises that if the
decision of the court in this case may be
reversed from month to month, according
to the manner in which it may be consti-
tuted for the time being, there will be no
such thing as a final tribunal for the set
Element of any question" Just as if the
writer did not know that the prime OBJ
ject of the Radical faction is to u1lSettJe
everything until emo such thing as final
tribunal for the settlement of any ques-
ton" shall exist, except in the concen-
trate despotism of Congress.

DR.. AvENT, of Memphis, who was q
surgeon in the Confederate army, esti-
mates that the whole number of Confede-
rates killed during the war was So, 773,
and including those who died by disease,
the number lost was 1906 He says
the whole available force of the Confede-
rates from first 10 last was GOO, O0O Mr..
George II. Stuart, in lecture in Phila-
delphia, on the 18th inst, stated that the
number of men enlisted in the Union
army during. the war was 1900, O55.
The number of commissioned vessels was
731, and the number Of colored sol
diers IFS, 975. The total number of
men in service when Gen. Lea surrend-
cred 10 Gen. Grant was over a million.
The Government spent for the mainte-
nance Of the struggle about three thou
sand five hundred millions dollars. The
cost of the South cannot be COMPUTED.
The expense of The slave property and
the crops which were lost are computed
at five thousand millions of dollars in
gold. Mr.. Stuart states that the proper
ton of the South for the national debt
had now to be paid, and will make a thou
sand million of dollars, causing the aggre-
gate loss TO The South TO amount TO fully
SIX thousand million dollars.

THE vitality statistics of Michigan have
just been published The fact brought
out that will strike the reader as the most
singular is, that the professional men were
the longest lived class. The average age
of clergymen and physicians was SO
years, while that of farmers was 51.27
years, being even less than that of shoe
makers, whose average is $3.50. Clerks
enjoyed shorter life than any other class,
only 1914 years being allotted TO them.

the people, consumption was the most ia
tai, its victims numbering S4l, out Of a
total number of deaths of G, 500.

Infection in the Air.

Experimental chemists have repeatedly analysed
the air at unhealthy seasons, in the hope of de-
tecting the invisible virus which produces cpl
demic disease. They have not yet discovered it,
and scarcely any two of them agree as to its ns-

to know that this poisonous principle exists, and
that safeguard against its insdious influence has
been provided. In the spring and early summer,
when fever and ague, remittent fever, and other
periodical diseases of that class are prevalent it is
only necessary to fortify the system with course

Mr.. RAMsDELI, correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial, was examined by
the Senate judiciary committee, Tuesday,
regarding the attempt to influence cor
ruption votes of Senators against Bingham's
amendment to the Georgia bill. He tes-
titled that the matter was brought to his
attention by Joshua Hill, one of the Sen
ators elect from Georgia, who showed
him papers which he thought justified him
in sending his paragraph, in which the
charge was originally made The state
ment was that Senator Carpenter, of Wis
consin, had been approached with
an offer of $4,000 worth of railroad
bonds, provided he would abandon his
support of the Bingham amendment and
come out in opposition to it. The offer
was refused, according to the story, and
the party who was alleged to have made
it was called, and from him ii was learned
that such an offer had been proposed, but
not directly to Mr.. Carpenter 1t appeared
that there was also an attempt to get at
Senator Howe, through his son-in-law.
Carpenter was not present during the ex-
animation.

MIR. MULLETT, the supervising architect
of the Treasury, testified before the in
vestgating committee on Tuesday, that
the brick of whichthe Howard University
was built was not fit material to be used.
The architect of the building testified that
it was required by Gen. Howard to insert
in the contract that it should be built of
that material. The object of all this
evidence is TO show that after Howard
had illegally drawn money from the
Treasury to pay for building this univer-
sity he insisted that it should be built of
this patent brick, of which he was one of
the owners, and of course, received in
the end pay for the same.

The Eufaula Times says there is a ter
rible state of affairs in West Alabama; q
young war has been waging there for some
time. There is an organized band of des-
peradoes, negroes and whites, who have
declared their purpose to drive every
'Rebel" and Democrat out of that section,
or kill every male, old and young, and
outrage every woman. As a conse-
quence, great excitement prevails in that
region, but it is exceedingly doubtful
whether the Reconstruction Committee
ever hears of these outrages, unless For
ney should publish in one of his ''two
papers, both daily" that these despera-
does are Ku-Klux and that they are crea-
ting reign of terror among 'Ioyal men. 4"

The English Cabinet on the war.

Before the close of the British House
of Commons, Minister Gladstone an
nounoed in language whose defniteness
formed a marked contrast to former Off
oial declarations on the same subject, the
policy of the English Government with
reference to Belgium. 1t may be stated
that the guarantee of Belgium neutrality
was signed by the five great powers of
Europe, and that with the true dipIo-
matte ambiguity the contract was SO
framed that the intervention of any single
power for its maintenance was not made
to appear binding unless concurrently
with the others. As Belgium could be
threatened by one or more of the con-
tracing powers, this amounted as ex-
pressed recently by an English journal
'to calling in the wolves to aid in pro-
teoting the sheep" The English Cabinet,
of which Mr.. Gladstone is the leader, has,
however, in obedience to the obvious will
OF the nation declined to take refuge in
the verbal difficulties of the treaty, and
simply proposed to France and Prussia
that an engagement should be contracted
with each of them, "that if the armies Of
either billigereut should during the
operations of war, violate the neutrality
of Belgium, Great Britain would CO.
operate with the other belligerent for the
defense Of that territory"
