THE COMING ELECTION- SPEEDY ACTION, Ac., Ac. 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 SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 2, 1865. Wholesale [PRICE 5 CENTS.) NO- 11 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 Andy Jack son at tbs bead of the Government whom d. threats ean intimidate.- Tltat Wes emphatically illustrated a few days, ago in the execution of a women with a band oflawlaaa con spirators, He baH her executed because «he wag itself alone to the state policy and the restora 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 heretofore passed by the people of Georgia in Convention.
