Auttor Him *t D«4gia(. BepobiiMo S«o«ton h*T* again praa diraat rota upon tba legality, the ilneee, of the recerda of the Beoete. ak act the journal of the proceedingr of that body repreeente a faUehood. Some twenty«two or three men met in the Hall of the Senate, and without any more authority than the pec with which we are now writing, declared the eeet of a Senator recant, and directed one whom they had inreeted with a brief authority to place it upon the record* of the Senate, a* a conititutionel, legal act. And haring the numerical etreogth to pre> rent it, a bare majority of that body permit* this record of a faUehood to continue. The Constitution declare* that no lea* than thirtyfour member* of the Sen*te shall be competent to trensact buaineM; but not mere than twenty-fire Senator* meet and perform acts of legialation. With a full knowledge that every act thus performed U uaconatitational, void both in law and moral*, the attempt to fir* them ralidity by representing upon the record* that they are true, U nothing leas than forgery. Erery Senator who permit* such a record to continue is guilty of moral, if not actual, perjury. The Kepubliean Senators realize the illegality of their position. They are afraid to meet the iesue involved in the resolution of Mr. Johnstos, which declares that Mr.Wood* i* a Senator from Clarke county, and a* such is entitled to all the rights and privilege* of a Senator. If that resolution is entertained by the Senate, no matter what the vote on it may be, it is a blistering evidence of their fraud. For that reason they make every effort to prevent any vote upon it which may prove a witness against them. On Saturday they sucaeoded in referring it to the Judiciary Committee, with the hope that there It might be consigned to that sleep which kno<vs no waking. The Kupublican Senators do not pretend that they had any right thus to eject Mr. Woods, and falsify the record ; but they say it is excusable because tbe Democrats have stolen a macrh upon th -m. This is their only justification tor committing forgery. What safety is there in legislation, if sueh an act can go uncondemncd ? It is not a clerical, unconsidered er or, which from ignorance is ex curable, but a deliberate fraud, without any justification whatever, and without the merit even of having an end to accomplish worthy of the villany. If the Ethiopian Senators are content to glory in their shame, we can do nothing more than pity them. It is a species of petit larceny which has not even the credit of boldness to relieve it from con-
tempt.
As wo have before stated, the Democratic tfanatora have made every fair proposition for a direct vote upon the right of Mr. Woods to his seat. They seek no nndne advantage. The Senate have a perfect right to decide upon the qualifications of their own mem beis, and if a majority, acting under the responsibility of their official oaths, declare that Mr. Woods is disqualified, they will yield gracefully to the decision. But they protest, as self-respect demands that they should, against any acknowledgement whatever of the illegal act of a portion of their body in vacating the seat of a Senator, in violation of his and their constitutional rights. We refer our readers te the protest of the Democratic Senators, which will be found in the Senate proceedings of to-day; which ably and clearly sets forth all the facts and
issues in controversy.
“ Yahtan Brays. ”—The distinguished Senator from Union let himself off in the Senate on Saturday morning. He was big with speech and couldn’t hold in any longer. The whole performance bore a striking resemblance to the braying of a forty-five year old animal with very long ears. Th*

If Dr. Talbott was influenced by manly and honorable sentiments, he would neither attempt to sustain tbe injunction, nor allow the bill holders to suffer loss by an act for wnich he can offer no reasonable or sufficient justification. We leave it to others to judge of the dirtiness of the legal gentle man’s appeal, who writes for the Journal.— We would merely suggest to him, or them, that words are not arguments.

“On m lion by Mr. cravens, the Report wascancurred in, and the resolution adopted. On moti m of Mr.

Now, if these things occur in Wayne and Henry counties, whose Republicans are so much holier and purer and batter than all other Republicans, what are we to expect from tbe Republicans of other counties who make ne such extravagant pretensions to holiness, honesty, and the Christian graoea generally? If the Black Republican Judges, Senators, J us tices and schoolmasters of Wayne county engage in the work of getting young men to go to other counties to swear in their votes, and pay them for their trouble, to what crime and villainy will not tke Black Republic n Judges, Senators, Justices and schoolmasters of leas favored parte of the conntry descend? Fortanately there are no Black Republican Judges, Senators, and the like, in this section, and not likely to be very soon — so we can rest comparatively easy. But in those regions infected with officials of that stripe it would be well enough for the public to keep a look oat for their doings, 'i he Wayne county exploits may tempt others to try to imitate them.—[N.

Which of the Republican Senators ho referred to was not very evidsut. but he had several in hie eye beyond question from tho very positive manner he expressed himself. Yaryan is a stubborn animal—very. He has practiced this muleish quality so long that ho now regards it as a positive virtue. Yaryan don’t like the Sentinel—he finds it hard to kick against tho pricks. In fact, Yaryan, tho Senator from Union, is so snappish, egotistical and fault-finding, that we find it impossible to please him. He can t even appreciate our compliments—to say nothing of the flatteiy we have heaped upon him. His hide ia so impenetrable to com* pliment, that we feel somewhat disposed to try what virtue there is in the puncture of a sarcasm. But aa Yaryan feels very sort at the unmerciful excoriation he received from Mr. Wallace, the Senator from Montgomery, on Saturday, and r.tther wind-broken withal, Christian charity compels ns to give him a sufficient respite to recover from the! disoom fiture. Yaryan is an Ethiopian Senator be yond question—a fact which he cannot face
