from Our Special Correspondent.
Mlf.LEDOEVILLE, Oct. 26, 1865.
The convention re assembled this morning
at: 1 o'clock. The proceedings were opened
with prayer by the Kev. Dr. Crawford, of
Greene.
The Secretary then read the minutes of the
previous day’s proceedings, after which Mr. C.
H. Jenkins rose and said—I beg leave to
present to the Convention an ordinance to
authorise the Provisional Governor to borrow
money. ., •
The Secretary read the ordinance a* follows:
“An Ordinancb to request and authorise the
provisional governor of the State of Geor
gia, to borrow on the credit of the State a
sufficient sum of money to pay what may be
due on the civil list, and what may become
due thereon, until, by the collection of taxes
the state may dispense with loans, and to
extend the power of the Governor to be elect
ed by the people in certain contingencies.
The people of Georgia, by their delegates in
Convention assembled, do hereby declare and
ordain that the Provisional Governor of this
State be and is hereby respectfully requested
and authorised, on the faith and credit of the
State of Georgia, to negotiate a loan
or loans of. United States currency
sufficient in amount to pay whatever
ii due in the civil list of the political
year 1365, and also to pay whatever may be
come due on the civil list for the political year
l p W, inclusive of appropriations for the sup
port of the Lunatic Asylum and other govern
mental purposes, until the State of Georgia, by
the collection of taxes to be imposed hereafter
hr the Legislature, and other resources of the
state, shall be enabled without embarrassanent
to dispense with a resort to temporary loans,
the money so borrowed to be deposited in the
Treasury and to he paid out by executive war
rant, as provided by the existing laws.
And be it further ordained by the authority
aforesaid, That should the Provisional Gover
tor, from any cause, fail to malte a sufficient
loan or loan’s to effect the intentions of this or
finance, that then the governor to be elect-
ad by the people as his successor to all the
executive power of the State Government be,
and is hereby empowered to make, from time
h> time, such loan or loans for the service of
'he State of Georgia as is herein contempla
ted."
Mr. JeDkins, gave notice that on Saturday
he would call that matter up for the action of
the Convention.
Pursuant to the resolntion yesterday lor the
formiog of a Committee of Sixteen on business,
SIIt een gentlemen were appointed to act on the
Committee.
Mr. Hopkins bejng-one of the number, said :
Being very desirous as far as it may be practica
ble to expedite the business of the Convention
end to promote as early an adjournment as tbe
business will allow, I will sisk permission for
eave 0 f absence from the Clwir for the Commit
tee just announced, and if that leave be granted,
j ?° n °t hesitate to say, although I may be rnis-
~xen, that J do not consider it impossible if this
-oavention should remain in session an hour or
Wo ' that we may be able to get business before
Jou Ir °ni this Committee which ought to be acted
np°n at an early day. I ask leave of absence for
' GnmuniUee, believing that it will be very de-
" ‘hat we should get through the business
'be Convention as rapidly as possible.
The motion was pnt from the Cbsir and unani
■bbusiy adopted.
The Committee immediately, on the request of
’ ^ enkm, > Lft the hall aud proceeded to the
Important Resolution.
Mr. Jenkins moved the following resolution : •
-““Weal, Hi, Excellency, the Provisional Gov-
’ f00r > ««Uio4 in W# mewp that th» cotton
which had been previously purchased by the
State, had either been captured or consumed by
fire, and that all the assets the State, held abroad
had been drawn against to the full extent of their
valne. “Be it, therefore,
Resolved, That his Excellency, the Governor,
be requested to inform the Convention where
and at what time the cotton was captured or
burned, the number of bales lost and their pro-
Jwble value; also the amount ot assets held
abroad, to whose credit they were hold, by whom
they were drawn, end what disposition was made
of them.”
Tbe resolution having been seconded, passed
unanimously.
It was then moved that Ihe rules of the last
House of Representatives of 1863 4, as far as
applicable, be adopted by the present Conven
tion. f ■••'«.' .
An amendment was moved and adopted “that
the rules of the last House of Representatives be
printed and several copies sent among the mem
bers of the Convention, and that the rules of tbe
Cpnvention of 1861 be adopted tor the delibera
tion of the Convention, and that three hundred
copies be printed for the use of tbe delegates.” .
Would a Petition to Pardon Jeff. Davis and all
_ Prisoners Embarrass Andy Johnson.
Air. Aiiderson moved a resolution for the ap
pointment of a Committee of five to memoria.ise
the President of the United States to pardon Air.
Davis and several other prisoners whose names
were mentioned in the resolution.
An amendment, however, was adopted, to pe
tition the President for the pardon of all prison
ers.
The Hon. Joshua Hill, of Morgan county, moved
that the matter be indefinitely postponed. They
were called together in that Convention for other
lurposes than to Instruct the President of the
United States as to his duties. Gentlemen were
sent to the present Convention, he (Afr. Hill)
hoped, for tar more noble purposes. It was noi
the business of delegates, in his opinion, to em
bariass the President with petitions, and he
would go still - further and say that there were
classes ot men in this country that expected to
make something by holding on to the skirts of
those who were considered as great men. He
thanked God such a sentiment was not universal
and as for himself be hoped never to be guilty of
anything so ignob e. The President understood
his situation better than the Convention could
inform him. Ije was master of the situation, and
wontd harken to the voice af the Convention
when it wss spenkfog on subjects proper for it.
They should not interfere witu the policy of that
iron-minded man to whom they were a reidy so
much indebted. They, should not- embarrass
him and the present matter would only have that
effect. He knew the pecu iar circumstances sur
rounding him better thau the Convention could
inform him. He (Mr. Hid) trusted the President
would be left to himself and to bis own discre
tion to treat every gentleman and every citixen
who might even at present languish in prison,
in such a manner as might he deemed for the wel
fare of the Urflted States. There wss no doubt
that in the proper time all that was desired would
be accomplished
Mr. Anderson stated that tbe object of the res
olution was simply to ask for the Executive clem
ency to be extended towards those gentlemen
now in pri3oa. It was not offered in any spirit
of dictation, but as an act ot mercy tomen who
like themselves, had become involved in the past
revolution. They were only following the exam-
p'e of other States whose Conventions had alrea
dy met in asffii
citizens.
Mr. Dupree, of Twiggs, said he felt as much
sympathy tor the men to prison as any gentle
man in that hall, and he fully concurred in tjjp
remarks of the honorable gentleman from Mor
gan. But, it might be asked, mi bonof for tbe
President knew that every man who had a South'
ern heart in his bosom felt for those men in
prison, and be also knew his duty. He («r. Du
pree) thought that such a resolution passed in
the Convention would only have the effect ot re
tarding the release of those men rather than to
hasten it. The President knew his business,
and it was quite plain that such applications
were embarrassing to him. He should be let
alone—let alone. He was doing, as much for the
South as she ought to ask—all that men coaid
aak. He (Mr. Dupree) once tbdught that he
never coala be the advocate of President John
son. He had hated him politically as much aa
any man in Georgia but the President was now
doing all they could ask, and should be let alone.
He bad said that he could not pardoo all at once,
and he (Mr. Dupree) felt confident that Mr. Davis
woftld be pardoned. The President should not

convicted bv the law of the country. He had her
executed because he felt there was no reason
strong enough to arrest the verdict of a jury.—
There must be some powerful reasons and strange
circumstances to pardon a person so convicted,
and if we, sir, by this process which is
proposed, arrest the trial of Jefferson Davis,
what will tbe world and history say ? “Band of
traitors, you knew your Chief was guilty, you
knew he would be convicted of high treason,
and to avoid a trial you tried on the ronnd
about way to rescue him from a fair investiga
tion.” If I were be; I would demand a trial
and be satisfied with nothing else, and if I
should be convicted and condemned to die 1
ebonld die as a brave man, and a» tbe chosen
cbief-of a brave and gallant people. But, sir,
unfortunately, we followed the advice of able
statesmen who deceived us. They told us there
would be no war, no bloodshed; twenty men
could whip one hundred ! Where are they
now in this hour of oar affliction. Do you see
them here now giving as their advice and con-
•oling us in oar misfortunes ? No they are not
to be seen, Let Jefferson Davis support his
case; but with regard to the others I would
sign a*petition, I would entreat and supplicate
the President to discharge them because they
arc guilty of no crime; but to say that I would
attempt to shield Jefferson Davis, by a resolution
proposed to this convention, I will never do
it so long as I have power to say no, no.
Mr. Matthews said it was idle to refer to
the past. It was gone for ever and could not
be recalled; but it should be remembered that
tbe gentlemen whose pardon was sought at the
hands of the Chief Magistrate were guilty of
no other crime than that of which the gentle
men present were guilty. There was no ques
tion of principle involved. It was purely a
question of sympathy for their countrymen,
with whom they struggled, to defend what they
believed to be right. He (Mr. Matthews)
stood willing to declare before God and those
present, that he returned in good faith to bis
allegiance, but still he could stand there to
offer sympathy with his fellow countrymen
who were languishing in Northern prisons.
He read no report from the President of the
United States, or from any Northern pen or
lips as to the embarrassment to the President
on receipt of a petition from his fellow
citizens. U id they not, each one, on yesterday
sworn before Almighty God, with their hands
on the Bible, that they would support and de
fend the Constitution of the United States and
the Union thereunder; and, therefore, were
toey not entitled to all the rights of freedom.
The right of petition was guaranteed them by
every fundamental law of the land. He never
heard of it being contrary to law to petition
the government, nor he could not see in what
manner it was embarrassing to the President.
He endorsed tbe expressions of kindness and
respect towards the President by the gentle
man from Morgan. The President w-as their
friend and should be sustained, and indica
tions showed that his heart was in favor of
mercy and pardon. When the President should
receive a petition in a respectful manner, that
went to show that they were returning in good
faith , to the Union, and that they expected the
rights of freedom under the rights of tbe
United States. He (Mr. Matthews,) should
therefore, go for the resolntion out of sympathy
for his unfortunate countrymen. They were
no greater criminals than he was, or any
gentleman in that Convention. They made
an honest effort thronghont the long struggle
of four years, and endeavoured to maintain
the course selected by the people of Georgia
and other States, and though they failed, this
at least would be said, both by those who were
lately their enemies and now their friends, as
well as by tbe rest of mankind, that they did
illustrate Southern valor, and how their people
could struggle for what they believed to be
right, and afterwards honorably submit to the
inevitable decrees of fortune, of destiny, and
of God. They had illustrated their greatness,
both on the field of battle and by their ‘ sacri
fices at home, and they would illustrate their
manhood now and good faith in returning to
the union of their fathers and sustaining it
again. They bad a history of which he was
prond. Southern valor had been illustrated,
though it passed like the arrow through the
clouds, effecting nothing.
Mr. Joshua Hill held that tbe resolution
pardoned, and he trusted that not one drop more
of blood would be spilled in order that all might
return to the shelter ot the old Sag again.
Mr. Chas. Hopkins, of Pierce county, disclaim
ed all hostility to any gentleman oh the Uxor, or
any gentleman in Georgia, however he might
differ sith him politically. They were all re
duced to the melancholy state of performing One
of the most unpleasant duties ever imposed on
man j and he thought that in thejpresent instance
they wereuieddliog with a branch of the govern
ment with which they had no right to meddle.—
There were three distinot branobes of that govern
rnent, but there was another government stronger
then the three oombinSd, he alluded to the military
branoh. In shaping our course, he continued,
we must so manage our affairs as to keep from
coming into conflict with either of the branches
of the government. Ifacitism were arraigned
tor crime he is subject to the judicial branch of the
government, and with just as much authority, as
in the present instance, could the Convention ia-
strnct the Judge on the Bench, in the trial of
that citizen tor the crime with which he was
charged. Let us not embarrass the President
with any proposition of that kind. Let us not
attempt to shirk the great question before ns.—
Let us not attempt to rescue Jefferson Davis from
the penalty of the law, if he be guilty. Rather
let him prove his innocenoe before tbe eonrta, or
let him stand convicted of t ,e highest crime
known not only to the laws of he United States
bnt to the laws of the woild. I would not lay a
finger on the head of any of these gentlemen.—
My potioy is strictly conservative and concilia
tory. I would forget all the past. I would not
refer to tbe incidents thst have occured since the
commencement of the war, nor would I tear open
the wounds which are about to heal, for they
would oarry tears to every man’s eyes. I would
not remind you of the blood that has
been shed, the sacrifices that have
been made, the property that has been
lost, nor ot the widows and orphans that over
flow tbe 1-nd. No,’ air. let ail that pass; let i
go. Let us not in our official capacity bates pre
cedence on that subjec’. . Let us sign a petition,
and I am willing for it, for the discharge of Gen.
Meroeroranv officers of the Government, bnt I
cannot, I will not sign a petition for the release of
Jeft. Davis. I cannot, I will not inflict so greet
an injury on my countrymen. He was the bead,
of the Confederate Government ot this tfsunfiry.
We have been called traitors. He stood as the
representative of that principle, and I wish -him'
to be tried by the law of the country,in order that
it may be known whether it is treason to secede
or not. II he be innocent he does not fear the
security of tbe law; but, on the other bard, if he
be guilty, be would take tbe round about way to
be rescued. I never can be one to join in such a
movement. And wi:h regard to Mr. Stephens,he
hat been already discharged. He is comparative
ly an innocent men, end has suffered imprison
ment. The President has discharged him, and as
soon as the States get back again into the Union,
I am satisfied that a general amnesty will be giv
en to ns all without our making any attempt to
coerce it, or witSbut any threat. Let things work
through naturally and properly; we have an

whom d. threats ean intimidate.- Tltat Wes

tion of tbe Union.
•Mr. Solomon Cohen, of Savannah—I regret
exceedingly that the resolution of my colleague,
springing as it did from the gentlest affections
of the human hear, tthatit should have
called forth a discussion of any kind
or of any character. It is true, as tbe
gentleman who has moved to lay it on the ta
ble has said, no principle is involved in which
we are instructed by our constituents. I do not
know if the people of Ueorgia instructed any
representatives on this floor as to what they
should do. 1 am very certain that our constitu
ents did not Instruct us—the path of duty was
so plain and so well marked out that the blind
almost might have pursued it. But, sir, because
ce have come here for high and important
duties,—because we have come even to settle the
affairs of the nation, to calm the troubled ocean
that has been rolling on for four long years,
and again to assume our position in the Union
—because we have those stern and solemn du
ties to perform, are we to shut out all the
tender feelings of our nature ? Is there no
tear for tbe sister,no kindly feeling for an erring
brother, if we believe be was in error. Are we
surrounded by circumstances so stern in char
acter that the purest affections of our hearts
must slumber unmoved? No, sir, I trust not, X
trust that no people, and especially the loved
people of Georgia, will ever be called upon to
stand in a position where feeling, love and
charity are to be excluded. Sir, all that has
been said by the distinguished gentleman, thh
mover of the resolution—atl the well deserved
praise he bus extended to the President,
meets with a hearty response from myself
and almost every man throughout the
length and breadth of the country.
That, however, is not the issu^ The President
has done well and nobly. We owe him grati
tude, and so far as I am concerned, he shall re»
ceive it What are the objecriuns, then, to this
resolution ? What is the question before this
House? Sir, it is simply that we shall, by a re
spectful resolution, ask the President of tbe
United States to pardon certain distinguished
gentlemen. That is the question, sir, and we ark
told by one gentleman that it wonld be disre
spectful and embarrassing to the President We
are told by another that we should not diotate to
him. I should be very sorry, sir, to live to see
tbe day whpti it would embarrass any President
of the United States to bear tbe respectful voice
of bis teilow ci.isens. I should be very sorry,
sir to Hve to see the day when that President was
so encased in stern duty that his heart had turned
to stone, and that he knew neither love nor ehari
tv God grint that I may never lire to see that
day! And shall it go forth, as it will, if this re.
solution is net passed, shall it go forth as it will,
that Georgia who helped those men in their pre-
sent condition, unhappy a* ***** Georgia,
now that her representative lit here a* freemen;
now that those very representative wno, in their
on persons, “embarrassed” tbe President by
begging for pardon, that we (ball now tarn a dear
ear to the ory of onr suffering lenders who, in the
Teaguege of the gentlemen lest op, illustrated the
chivalry, the bravery and the manhood of t|e
South? No. sir, as men we can do no snob thing.
Sir, many of ns on this floor are familiar with
the practice of the Courts, and who amongst
ns has aver beard that a jury shrank ont of the
line of duty when they found a prisoner guilty
aud recommended him to the mercy of the Judge.
We are not a jury. We are at present the repre
sentative of the sovereignty of Georgia, and jney
not the repsHentative of that sovereignty humbly
ask onr Judge or President to do what jnstioa
and what humanity diotate. I trust,.therefore,
sir, that there will be no dissenting voice on this
question, and that while we can perform, and will
perform, tbe high deties that we have here, we
yet pause along the stern and rugged Jroad of
duty occasionally to stoop to plnck a flower or
relieve a sufferer.
A division was then called for, and a majority
being in favor of the resolution, it was according
ly declared carried. «- , ‘ > ’,w[
The Hon. Chas. i. Jenkins, of Augusta, in
troduced the following Ordinance, whioh was
adopted :
An Ordikanck to repeal certain Ordinances
