Besolutions were adopted condemn ing what is known os the system of using ** patent outsides” or '• insides,” and denying membership in the Asso ciation to all such papers after 90 days. A resolution was adopted requiring members of the association to exclude from their columns contracts with ad vertising agents' who patronize these patent " outsides” and “ insides,” and requiring those who publish more than obo paper to charge full advertising rates in each. The advertising rates previously adopted at Savannah, were confirmed. A resolution condemning personali ties in editorial discussions, and in anonymous contributions to the press, elicited an able debate between Col. Yancey, Col. Snead, Mr. St. Ciair Abrams, Col. Aver}-, and others, con cerning the legitimate bounds of news paper responsibility, and was adopted. lEke session was the most important one-yet held, and if the whole press of the State Caa be brought up to the line of prfiey diuuted out, much good will result, to the Character as well as prosperity of journalism. ATLANTA HOSPITALITY was gushing and unbounded.

As this «xeurson took a \Flder range than was and fifteenth amendments to the Con stitution of the United States having been ratified in good faith by a legal Legislature of said State, it is hereby declared that the State of Georgia is entitled to representation in the Con gress of the United States.” Upon the admission of her Senators and Representatives under that act, says the court, “ tbe condition by the Na tional Government became complete.” The conclusion to our minds is inevi table, that up to the passage of .that act, at least; tbe provision al govern ment provided for by the act cl March 2, 1867, still existed. A It follows that the session of ths Legislature of 1874, which passed the Act of October, 13th, of that year, was not a session of the General As sembly, after the second, under the Constitution, in the same in which the Convention of 1868 used these words. Hence the Act under review is not in valid, because passed by the Legisla ture. more than forty days after the commencement of its session, 5. it is at lea«t doubtful whether the first tour sections of the Relief Act of October 13th, 1870, prospective in their operations, os sound rules of com struction require them to be under stood, so far impair the remedy of con tracts made prior to June, 1865, as to be unconstitutional under the tenth .section of the first Article of the Con stitution of the United States. It is therefore the duty of the Court to re fuse to" declare them unconstitutional. 6. The first four sections of the Re lief Act of October 13th, 1870, must be read in the light of the title to that Act, and, in so far as they are not variant from it, they do not violate the fifth paragraph of the fourth section of Article third of the Constitution of Georgia, and to that extent the Court should give them effect. Therefore, in all suits pending at the time of the passage of the Act, for debts founded on contracts made prior to June, 1865, .the taxes must have been paid, and .the affidavit filed within six months after the Act passed; and in all suits commenced after its passage, at the time of filing the writ, on pain of hav ing the ..case dismissed on failure to do so. 7. If Congress, ora State Legisla ture pass aila.w, within the general scope of their constitutional power, the courts cannot pronounce-it void mere ly because, in their judgment, it is contrary to the principles of natural justice.

It is not in the power of this court, by any decision it may make, to de clare the Acts of the session of the Legislature, of 1870, after forty days from its commencement, void, since the members thereof do all of them hold their commissions, and this court is now in session by virtue and in con sequence of acts passed by said session after forty days. If these acts be void, this court is illegal, its members are only private citizens, and in the very act of giving its judgment it renounces jurisdiction over the subject and de clares its decision to be only the opinion of three citizens clothed with no legal authority to act as a court. The session of the General Assem bly of 1870 was not a session of the General Assembly after the second under the present Constitution in the sense of those words as used in article 3, section 3 of the Constitution of 1868, and its sessions were legal after the forty days without any vote of two- thirds prolonging the same. WARNER, C. J., dissenting. This was an action brought by the plaintiff against the defendant on the contract of his testator aft a subscriber for fifteen shares of ibc capital stock of the Micoaaud Augusta Railroad Company to recover tbe amount due for his unpaid stock. On the trial the defendant made a motion to dismiss the plaintiff's action, on the ground that it was a debt existing prior to the first of June, 1865, and that no affida vit had been filed that all lqgal taxes due thereon had been paid as required by the Act of 13th October, 1870.— The court dismissed the plaintiff's ac tion, to which ruling of the court tbe plaintiff excepted. The Act of 13th of October, 1870, so far as it applied to the plaintiff’s debt, is in,violation of the 10th section of the 1st article of the Constitution of the United States, and is therefore void. That Act is also void as having been passed in viola tion of the express provisions of the Constitution of 1868 declaring that “ No session of the General Assembly, after the second, under this Constitu tion, shall continue longer* then forty FANCY (tOOD^JIt have still on hand From College Areune totlie Store of Mr. C.

This Act was passed at the third ses sion of the General Assembly under the Constitntion of 1868, -more than forty days after the commencement of the third session, which was not pro longed by a vote of two-thirds of each branch thereof, and is, therefore^ null and void as a law of this State. My reasons for this judgment^ were fully expressed in my dissenting , opinion in the case of Gormly, Ordinary, vs. Yaylor, (not yet reported,) and will not be again repeated. All legislative enactments, which are to J>e binding upon the people as laws, ntost be en acted iu pursuance of tbe requirements of the Constitution, and if not, when ever they interfere v^ith tfie right of the citizen, such citizen, nfry appeal to the courts and have them declared holding .och <U W to1&'5te* I^ " first proposed, embracing a visit to Niisbvfile, tbe Industrial Exposition, - - "" ” - l not by themselves.
