Reconstruction in Georgia—The Of
ficial Vote.
Mississippi.—The response of Mississip
pi to the Congressional invitation for Re
construction, is emphatic. The latest dis-
pactli sajs that “returns from little more
than half the State of Mississippi show
that nine thousand more than a majoritj-
of the i*ersons registered have voted on
the < onvention question. It says the re-
uuuuing counties will increase the majori
ty. as in some counties tire opponents of
the Convention voted; also that in the part
of the State heard from the unreconstruct-
«•! voters stayed away from the polls. Only
one Conservative delegate is known to be
elected. Among those who took the stump
in favor of a Convention was Hon. A. G.
Brown. cx-l'nitetl States Senator, and Gen.
Alcorn. Senator elect.” Mr. Brown occu
pied the responsible position of Governor
ol the State at one time, and none of the
statesmen in that State ranked higher in
the esteem of the people than he did. Gen.
Alcon. also, was a favorite with the people.
The writer met both, frequently, during
lire early years of the war, and speaks ad-
viscdly as to the estimate placed upon
them by the public. Where men of such
The official vote of the State, at the late
election was declared last evening. The
result corresponded with what we have
heretofore announced—a complete triumph
of the friends of Reconstruction.
The political character of the Convention
elect has not been questioned. But some
of the disunionists have t questioned the
vote. Let this be analyzed by the grum
blers:
The Registered List numbered 188,647:
the vote cast 106,410; majority of register
ed voters that voted 12,086. “For a Conven
tion,” 102,283. “Against a Convention,”
4,127; majority for Convention 98,156. Vote
for Convention, 102,283; majority of vote
“FOR A CONVENTION-” over half the
Registered vote, 12,087.
The Registration lists gave about 10,000
majority white voters. About 36,000 of
these voted for Convention, and in favor
of Reconstruction. Thus the people of
Georgia have recorded their verdict. As
I
! to their future decision there can be no
■ doubt. They will return to the Union.
Personal.
It is announced that Mr. Stephens,
by
invitation, has consented to address the
citizens of New York on “ the condition of
the South.”
G. B. Crittenden, who commanded the
Confederate forces at the battle in which
Zollicofl'er was killed, but afterwards took
no part in the war, has been pardoned.
A notable correction of a malicious re-". cetl * , '£ weeks of the present term, have
port was made by the telegraphic press re
porter nt Savannah, yesterday. We quote
the dispatch:
“The report extensively circulated in
this city and elsewhere, that a true bill had
been presented by the grand jury in the
United States District Court against Hon.
Foster Blodgett, for perjury, in taking the
official oath as Postmaster at Augusta, is
found to be entirely false. District Attor
ney Fitch stated this morning, in Court,
that n*> case against Blodgett was before
the Court. It is reported that action will
be taken against the instigators for mali
cious persecution.
The Atlanta Opinion learns that “Gen
Pope has directed Treasurer Jones to dis
burse from the State Treasury, during the
ensuing year, to the benevolent institu
tions of the State, amounts equal to the ap
propriation made last year by the legisla
ture. This will enable the unfortunates to
be provided for. The taxes now being col
lected, with other incomes of the State will
supply the means.”
We would like for the astute editor of
the Opinion t«> designate those clauses of
the Reconstruction acts which authorize
Gen. Pope to take control of the Treasury
of the State, and its benevolent institutions.
Columbus Ewjuirer
If the editor of the Enquirer has not ye
learned the comprehensive definition of
the word “ Provisional Government,” we
shall not, at his late day, undertake to in
struct him. That he has not sympathy
enough for the unfortunates of the State,
to lead him to applaud the action of Gen.
>tamlard worth espouse a just cause, the j Pope, we regret. The Provisional tax
principles they advocate are sure to suc-

Probable Early Rei*eal ok the Cot
ton Tax.—The Baltimore Sun's Washing
ton sj>eeial of the 11th says: “From the
members of Congress who have been here
recently, and others now in the city, it ap-
pears that there is strong probability that
the tax on cotton will be repealed shortly
after Congress convenes. The pressure in
favor of this repeal in all directions of the
North from influential citizens is almost
irresistible.”
Trout Superior Court.—The Novcm-
l>er Term of this Court will begin on Mon
day next. Judge Collier, we suppose, will
preside. To this, the LaGrange Reporter
adds: We are glad to learn’that our new
Judge is winning favor wherever he has
presided since his recent appointment to
this (the Coweta) Circuit, «tce Judge War
ner appointed to the Supreme Bench of
the State. If General Pope should issue
no ~ bull ” to the contrary, our young and
payers contribute enough to our I’rovis
ional Treasury to support our Benevolent
Institutions. Why,in the name of the great
est of the three virtues—Charity—should
not these be taken care of, before wealthy
Provisional oflicers are provided for? Will
tire Enquirer and other grumblers an
swer ?
Gen. Pope's Order to the Treasurer.
In commenting yesterday on a paragraph
copied from the Atlanta Opinion, regard
ing an order said to have been issued by
General Pope to Treasurer Jones, remark’s
were based upon an interpretation which
we are convinced was incorrect. We
supposed the order extended to a duplica
tion of all the benevolent appropriations
made by the last Legislature, and was not
confined strictly to established State insti
tutions that are obliged to be carried on,
and for the support of which, from
the Treasury, without appropriations by
law, the absolute necessity of the case could
be rightfully pleaded in justification—
such as the Academy for the Blind, the
Deaf and Dumb anu Lunatic Asylums,
etc., etc.

and delivery of Russian America to the
United States Government took place to

missioner on behalf of the Russian Gov
ernment. and Major General Rousseau, at
3 o'clock 1*. M. A battalion of United
States troops, under the command of Major
Charles O. Wood, Ninth Infantry, was
drawn up in front of the Governor's resi
dence. By half-past 3 o’clock a large con
course had assembled, comprising Ameri
cans, Russians, Creoles and Indians.
At the last named hour the Russian forts
and fleet fired salutes in honor of the low
erin'; of the Russian flag, but the flag
would not come down. In lowering, it
was torn its entire width close by the
halyards, and floated from the cross-trees,
forty feet from the ground. Three Rus
sian sailors attempted to ascend the inch
and a half guy-ropes, supporting the flag
staff, but each failed. A fourth ascended in

Five minutes after lowering the Russian
flag, the stars and stripes went gracefully
up. General Lovell H. Rousseau having the
honor of flying the flag to the breeze; the
United States steamers Ossippee and Re-
saca at the same time honoring the event
by firing salutes.
As the Russian flag was lowered. Cap
tain Eestrechoff stepped forward and ad
dressed Gen. Rousseau as follows :
“General: As Commissioner of his Im
perial Majesty', the Emperor of Russia, I
now' transfer and deliver the territory of
Russian America, ceded by liis Majesty to
the United States.
General Rousseau, in response, as the
American flag ascended, said.
“Captain : As Commissioner on behalf of
the United States Government I receive
and cccept the same accordingly.”
The words were spoken in the tone of
common conversation and were only heard
by Governor Makestoaff, General Jeff. C.
Davis, Captain Kuskal and a few others
who formed the group. Several ladies
witnessed the ceremonies, among them
Princess Makestoaff, Mrs. Gen. Davisr’aml
Mrs. Major Wood. The Princess wept
audibly as the Russian flag went down.
The transfer was conducted in a purely
diplomatic and business-like manner. Tire
entire transaction was concluded in a few
hours, the Ossipee, with the Commissioner
on board, steaming into the harbor at 11
o’clock in the forenoon, and at 4 o’clock in
the afternoon a dozen American flags
floated over the newly-born American
city of Sitka.
New Archangel, Nov. 3.—The Russian
Commisioners have protested against the
occupancy of the fur company build
ings by the United States troops. By
courtesy, the troops are now shel
tered, and the supplies stored. The matter
will he referred to Mr. Seward. Much ill-
feeling has been exhibited since our occu
pation of the city. Seven duels on paper
occurred, hut were settled without blood
shed. The parties are of high rank.
The United States steamer Ossipee was
nearly wrecked on the night on the 27th
ultimo, when forty miles southeast of
Archangel, in the most terrific hurricane
ever witnessed on this coast during the
past seventy years. She lost all her
boats, and considerable sails and rig
ging. Tire chronometer . is destroyed,
and all fires, but four were put out. and
those remaining kept alive by burning
oil, tallow, grease, lard, candles and
like substances. She shipped an im-
sea, doing great injury to the powder in
the magazine. Forty-six sailors were
wounded, but, providentially, none were
killed. Gen. Rousseau and his son George,
and also, the General’s staff, were on board.
The hurricane lasted eighteen hours, and
the entire storm between thirty-six and
forty hours. Lieutenant Commanded Cross
man and the boatswain. William Green,
saved the ship by heroic conduct in bat
tening the hatchways when the strom
raged with the greatest fury r . The engin
eers and firemen all behaved nobly.
The Ossipee put into Citka harbor on the
evening of the 28th ultimo, having left
here on the evening of the 26th, The
United States store-ship Jamestown, and
steamer Eesaca, are in port, all well. The
yellow fever has been thoroughly killed
out.
The revenue cutter Lincoln has gone to
Staker River, with the United States sur
veying party in tow. The chartered ves
sels, Milan and Buena Vista, with Govern
ment stores for the garrison here, arrived
safely.
The hurricane swept over the harbor
with terrific force. Fifteen vessels were at
anchor in the harbor at the time. Three
Russian vessels were driven ashore, and a
Sandwhich Islands bark badly damaged.
Several vessels dragged anchor, and bore
down upon each other mercilessly, yet no
serious damage was done. Tire steamship
John L. Stevens was in their midst, but re
ceived no damage. A number of houses
were blown down, but no lives lost.
ftilly cocupied and covered the ground
Indeed, in the opinion of this jury, so little
attention has been obtained, or action had,
on the recommendations of our predeces
sors that we deem recommendations and
investigations almost useless. Time and
again the prompt attention of our Courts
and citizens has been called to the condi
tion of affairs in the administration of the
Sheriff’s office, in times gone by, namely:
In the matter of fi. fas. it being a notorious
fact that from laz administration, it is now
impossible to know whether or not any
levies exist on property. Many fi. fas. that
have been satisfied have never been
returned to the office, consequently there
is no evidence on record of such satisfac
tion. It is certainly the duty* of somebody
to right this wrong. Whose duty is it?
Many Grand Juries have called attention
to this matter, and last spring a commis- ,
sion was appointed to examine into and i
report on this and other matters. What is
the result? No report. Why? The only
reason we can hear of is, that the parties
entrusted with the duty, applied to the In
ferior Court to know if their services would
be paid for by that Court, and were told
that they would not, and that in conse
quence they declined to act.
The County Court lias been brought to
our notice and grave charges made, suf
ficiently attested, to warrant an investiga
tion before the proper tribunals, and with
them we leave the questions involved.
This jury feels constrained to say that in
their opinion it is impossible for them or
any other jury, constantly interrupted by
special jury cases, to give the various books
and important accounts of the different
offices a thorough and intelligent investi
gation. and we therefore repeat the recom
mendations of our predecessors that the
Court appoint a commission and make
suitable provision for their services, and
that such persons appointed report in full,
with tabular statement of the debt of the
county, and what it was contracted for, and
when.
We would also renew the recommenda
tion of a former Grand Jury that the City
Hall building be enclosed by a neat and
substantial fence.
We believe that all jurors should be paid,
and therefore recommend to the next
Legislature the passage of an act providing
for the payment of all Grand and Petit
Jurors.
We would do violence to our feelings were
we to close these presentments without
expressing our acknowledgments to his
honor, Judge Collier, for his uniform
courtesy to us, and our high admiration for
his character Hind legal ability. To Col.
Hulsey, wo found a vigilant and courteous
‘ “ c officer, ever watchful of the public
i interests, faithful in the discharge of duty
and prompt in his attentions to the wishes
of this .Jury,
We also return our thanks to our bailiff,
Mr. McLin for his many attentions. Also,
to Patrick Fitzgibbon for many services
rendered.
We respectfully request that these pro
ceedings be published in such of our city
papers as are willing to do the same as a
matter of public interest.
