Bat it has finally been resolved to
make a contest; and James Atkins, of
Atlanta, lias received the Republican
nomination. Mr. Atkins is a native of
Georgia, a stannch friend of the Union
danse the war, and a as an of talent and
integrity. He was the ltepublican can
didate for Congress in lHGd, in a strong
Democratic district, and, tbongh defeat
ed, received a flattering vote. He ft in
thorough sympathy with the Republican
Party of the nation. In State matters, he
hsa been clear of all connection with the
transactions that have brought dis
credit upon the late ltepublican Admin
istration. The Republicans of Georgia
have done wisely in selecting such a man
for their candidate, and It is to be hoped
that they will give him a warm support.
His competitor, Mr. Smith, of Cplum-
bue, was a Confederate Colonel, and a
member of the last Confederate Con
gress; and is now the Speaker of the Rep-
resealeUvo branch at the Legislature.
Those Georgians who love the Confcde-

with the murder of Thomae M. Alexan

held. It is a moat marked and unusual
eomnlimeuk where them vers so many
wormy and able men, from the list of
whom the convention might hsve selected
s naihtalr without making a nue-oke.
It ia an gnapietoua sign at harmony, and
of prudent and wise purposes in the fu-
V go*du°‘ of our Slate affairs.
An overwhelming majority in the Legis
lators believed that the Constitution of
the StateseaattsMd especial election,
and that it was politic to hold it An

ing oonvenbon, amounting virtually to a

of “guilty;” whereupon, Judge
J. Ik Alexander sentenced the prisoner
i to be exeehtad, by hanging, on Friday,
tha 117th day of January, 1871. The ex
Motion of the sentence was stayed, how
ever, by a motion for a new trial, which,
being Valued by Judge Alexander,
carried to the Supreme Court That tri
bunal thoroughly reviewed the esse at tha
July tarn, 1871, and unanimously sus
taining Ule rulings of the Superior Court,
refused the motion tar a now trial.
These proceedings necessitated the
reaentence of the prisoner, and for that
purpose he was brought into Court, on a
writ of habeai carpus, an lost Saturday
morning; when, to the surprise of all our
oilmens, Judge Alexander modified his
mntenoe of twelve months previous, and
sentenced Jimpaey A. Huntorto confine
ment in the State Penitentiary, for, aud
daring the rem -indor of his natural life.
There is a difference of opiuiou among
members of the bar, as to the legality of
this sentence. By some it is contended,
that after the entire cose had p-ased re
view before the Supremo Court, the Su
perior Court had nd longer discretion in
the premises—and, therefore, Judge
Alexander arrogate/ the powers of the
Executive of the S ate, in commuting
the death aentenoe, (which had never
been revoked), to imprisonment. It is
sontanded that tbs death teuteace has
been hanging over tha prisoner daring
the pest twelve months, and the eMcution
of said aentenoe was ail that had been
stayed; and tharsfora the sole duty de
volving upon Judge Alexander, was to
deeiguate a tiny on wbioh the aentenoe,
already pranouuceil should be executed.
Aa to the merits of the arguments, we
do not pretend to give an opinion; and
make reference to the matter merely from
the fact that gnat indignation prevails
throughout the oounty on amount of the
unexpected leniency extruded to the un
fortuuato prisoner, Jimpaey A. Hunter.
It is well enough to slate that the ex
praraion ot indignation referred to is not
directed towards the primmer; nor is
there any disposition manifested on the
pert of the people to resort to mob vio
lence. Anything of tlintcbaractcr would
be fiowned down. The populace would
not illegally injures hair of the prisoner's
bead. The expression of indignation is
directed at tke Court. One week ago
Judo* Alexander had the respect and
oonfldsnce of etir entire population; he
has forfeited it by furnishing evidence
that he lacks the first great requisite for
a Judge—firmness and decision of char-
iter.
We have been told that Hon. James L.
Seward, who was the leading counsel for
Heater at tin trial, mads a personal
nation to Governor Bollock
for pardon nr clomeney to the
prisoner, but eras refused. We are in

On motion of Mr. Jones, the House
resolution that ia the opinion of the
General Assembly this day is required to
ooupUto the number of days prescribed
by the Constitution us the length of the
session, which was tabled this morning,
was token np. After a short diseussiou,
the veto being taken an uoucurring in
the resolutions, stood—ayes, Messrs.
Cameron, Coleman, Crayton, Estoa,
Heard, Ilicks. Hillyer, Hinton, Jervis,
Junes, Jordan, Kibbee, Matthews, Red
dy, Reese and Simmons—10; nays,
Messrs, lAudeVSon, Bruton, Burns, Er
win, Griffin, Kirkland, Smith and Well-
tarn—8. The President, by permission,
voted no.
Mr. Bums gave nolics of a motion to
reconsider.
Mr. Kilibco moved to transmit tho res
olutiou ut once to the House, lie said
the resolution is ono of ponce and ac
crediting to tho Executive integrity of
intent; it is wrong to so place this reso
lution that the purpose of the Senate, in
adhering to it, may be coiled iu question.
Whilst we expect uud demand fair deal
ing Ifrom the Executive, we should be
equally willing to act fairly and in good
faith with him, and the unwillingness to
transmit the resolution would be con
strued unfavorably.
Mr. Burns forcilily opposed the mo
tion to transmit. He wished he could
agree with the majority, but he believed
this resolution to be a trick, and would
g ooe a lever in the hand of the acting
xeout.ve that would be surely and se
verely felt by this General Assembly.
To Mr. Hinton the resolution* pre
sented s mere question of law, which he
must decide in the affirmative, if the
rsaolution expresses tho truth, can it do
any harm, even though we indorse it un
der suspicious circumstances. Gentle
men would hsve us believe that the
adoption of this resolution would be re
ceding from our action of Haturilay.
Not ut all. Tke aotion deosnds alto
gether upon different principles, and in
no manner conflict. He believes the ex
tension of the session legal and right,
and intended (to stand by it forever,
though the heavens fall.
Mr. Hniitk changed his vote by per
mission. Tho motion to transmit pre
vailed.

tween Catoosa and Walker counties; to re

is the seuss of the General Assembly
that paragraph 3, section 1, article 1, of
the Constitution, relating to prolongation
