GEORG! \ LEGISLATURE.
IS SE*ATB.
Monday, Xo* 10.—'Several notices of bill* Were
presented, but no business of a general nature :
was transacted. . , {
Tuesday, .Yor. 11.—The President laid be- |
so e the Senate the memorial of W. B. Davis, ;
respecting the Brunswick Canal. Mr. Crawford, j
of Columbia, said the reading of tho document j
was unnecessary, and moved to refer it to the ,
committee on petitions. Mr Crawford, of Han- i
Cock, was for having it read ; every citizen had a j
rigli l to present Iris grievances to the legislature, j
He had no object ton after having it read, to have j
it referred to the committee on Agriculture and i
Internal Improvement.
The leading of the memorial was resumed, but
after some progress, Mr. Crawford, of Hancock,
rose, and said that when he opposed the refer
ence he was not sufficienlly acquainted with the
language of the petition. He was willing that
the reading should be dispensed with.
Mr. Powell moved, that it lie on the table the
balance of the session, which was adopted.
The Senate had before them the bill to incor
porate the Medical College of Georgia.
HOUSE OF RFPRESENE ATI VES.
Monday, Mot. 10.—Several notices were pre
sented.
Mr. Lamar introduced a resolution Calling up
on the Treasurer for a statement of the amount of
appropriations made each year for the 1 eniten
tiary.
Mr. Freeman, of Franklin, reported a bill to
compel Justices of the Peace to give bond* for the
payment of money collected by them.
“Mr. Wilcox reported a bill to repeal the act es
tablishing the office of Civil Engineer.
A divorce hill was taken up and read the third
time.
Mr. Warner staled the peculiar circumstances
of the case, w hich lie thought were such as to
entitle the complainant to the intcrterence of the
Legislature.
Mr. Dovgherty of Clark, begged the house to
pause before it passed the bill. The whole sys-
domestic morality and of domestic happi
ness. he said, depended on the sanction of the
marriage contract: and when we opened the door
eo wide for divorces, and allow them to he granted
with so much facility, wc aim a blow at the mo
rality of the country which cannot be easily fieal
fcd. Mr. D. here alluded to the case of the appli
cant in this instance, and said if we allow ot di
vorces for such causes, there will be no end to
them. Any one may procure a divorce. If one
happens to make an” improper match, and wishes
to get rid of it. he has nothing to do but act as
the defendant in this case has done, and a -divorce
ensues as a matter of course. Let us put a stop
to these proceedings. Let us by our conduct here
impress on the community, the importance ot the
marriage contract and show them that when once
made it is inviolable, except for the most power
ful reasons. There are some cases, he admitted,
tint are verv grievous but this he did not think
to bo one of them.
Mr. Saffold had been opposed to the granting
of divorces, and ho hoped he would continue to
be so. If the defendant had married and been
driven off by the misconduct of the complainant,
as sometimes happens, he would not grant the pe
tition. But it was otherwise and he hid aban
doned her after the most brutal treatment- And
will gentlemen say that the complainant must, tor
this misconduct, be deprived of the enjoyments of .
social intercourse. Though he was opposed to
divorces on general principles, yet in this case he
would vote for the bill
Mr. Warnei spoke again in reference to the
peculiar nature of the case, and urged the pas
sage of the bill.
Mr. Dougherty said that he had confined him
"Solfto general principles. He had said nothing
in regard to this particular case, nothing in re
gard to the particular individual concerned. -He
might be wrong in the view he took of the gener
al subject. But he felt that in that view he was
Consulting the best interests of society. Mr. D.
here spoke of the particular case, and went onto
say, that gentlemen differed very much from him
if they -supposed that character was to be sus!
ed bv Legislative interference. In this case Che
party mav have been deceived. The Legislature
cannot help that The complainant should have
been more cautious, and enquired into character.
This is the way t.o put down those who are of
dissolute character. The pulpit may level its
thunders—the moralist may point out his satire
ut the loose and dissolute habits of the age. It. is
all in vain—nothing can restrain them hut the
fair sex. Let them set their faces against such
things, and the work is done.
Mr. D. impressively called tho attention of the
house to the fact that moro of domestic peace
domestic happiness—and domestic virtue depends
on the sacredness of the marriage contract than
on any tiling else. Open the door to divorces,
und you open the door to the commission of all
the crimes by which domestic peace is violated.
Look at our'statutes. They are a disgrace to the
Country. Nearly one third oft he statute book is
laken up w ith divorce acts. Why is this not so
in other states ? Because they have been more
prudent than we—they have thrown a guard
around the domestic morality of the country by
refusing to grant divorces : and in proportion as
the}’ have done this, their morality is better than
ours. He hoped the bill would not pass.
The bill was rejected.
Tho house went into committee of the whole,
Mr. Byne in the chair; on the bill to extend the
time of taking out grants ‘til December 25, 1821),
in the Lotteries of J 818 19, and 21,and to reduce
the fees.
Mr. Freeman of Franklin, proposed to fill the
blank in the bill, bv fixing the price of grants, at
$5.
Mr. Dougherty proposed SB, and gave his rea
sons for the proposition, substantially as follows.
If gentlemen will take the trouble to enquire
at the proper offices, they will find who they
are that have not taken out their grants, lie
had made some enquiries on the subject, as re
lates to his own county, and really, at one time,
lie said he was disposed to put the price back to
what it was originally. It is the poor men. Sir,
who ba\e taken out their grants, and paid-high
prices for them. He did not make the assertion
unguardedly. He had been to the office, and had
enquired as to his own county. This reduction
operates not for their benefit, but for that of spe
culators and wealthy men. He would be satisfied
with SB. but rest assured, said he, they will not
take these grants out even at that. They are not
willing to pay even that. They will still wait for
you to extend the time and reduce the fees. He
knew of one man worth from 75 to SIOO,OOO, who
had been benefited, as he was informed, by the
law of ’ast. year, as much ss SIOOO. For himself,
lie knew that in his county, many poor men had
paid the full price of $lB. They paid it because
they wanted their land, either for tjieir own use,
or to sell it. But the wealthy can wait ; and
even if you do reduce the price farther, they
will still wait for farther reduction
Mr. Freeman of Franklin next spoke, but being
at the opposite side of the hall from the reporter,
he could not be heard.
Mr. Oliver, also made a few observations, which
could not he heard distinctly.
Mr Speaker Hudson said that there were many
new members in the House, who were not per
haps apprised of the nature of the law that was
passed at the last session on this subject. That
law gave till 25th Dec. next, for taking out grants
at in the lotteries of 1818 ’l9 and ‘2l. After
that grants might be taken out by any person, up
on the payment of SIOO up to the 25th April—for
SSO to the 25th August —and for 25 afterwards.
He knew that that law did not look to the close of
the whole business, and he Imped the House would
now make no alteration in tiie matter. He did
not conceive it to be necessary that the House
should interfeic. Every man has already deter
mined whether he would takeout his grant or not,
and if he intended to take it out, had prepared
himself with the money to do so. Any lot that
was worth possessing at all, was certainly worth
{%'S and lie presumed no man wished to get the
land lijr nothing. lie repeated the hope, that the
I Legislature would not now interfere. He dislik
eti to uuike a motion, but conceived it to be his
’ duty to do so in the present, instance, and there
fore moved that the committee rise and report,
that they had disagreed to the bill.
Mr. Hates, hoped the motion of the honorable
speaker would not prevail. He was in favor of
repealing thelaw-of the last session, and of reduc
ing the fees. The people were embarrassed, and
the times hard If the law was repealed, and the
fees reduced to $5, he was persuaded that many
of these grunts would be taken out.
Mr. Satfuld moved that the committee rise and
report progress, and ask leave to sit again.
The motion was adopted, and report made ac
cordingly.
Tuesday, .Vor. 11. —The House went into com
mittee of the whole on the bill to establish the sa
laries of judges and solicitors, and the tees of other
public ollicers.
Several propositions were made to nil the blank
for the judges salary with {sl4oo, 1600 and {s2ooo.
Mr. Ho tear and ross and remarked that it was a
very important subject, and it appeared to him,
that the house were about to act on it in too r reat
a hurrv. He was disposed to wait Until tnc Judi
ciary committee had made its report,. That com
mittee had important business before it. And it
was probable that a report would be made recom
mending a change or the system. The whole sub
ject required great, deliberation, and he did not
yet know how he should vote. 13ut as a change
of the system was contemplated, he would wait
until the whole matter was brought before the
house together. In the mean time the house
might go on to dispose of the local business before
it. and be exercising its reflection on those things
that Wore important. He had no wish to defeat
the bill, but thought it would be best to postpone
it for the present.
Mr. Burns moved that the committee use and
report “progress and leave
Mr. Echols was not particular about having the
blanks filled just now. He however thought it
would be best to fill them, so that when the bill
came up again the house would not be under the
necessity of going into committee upon it.
Mr. Walker thought that to act properly on so
important a subject required the most mature de
liberation. To reduce precipitately, and without
due reflection, the salaries of tli3 otlicers of go im
portant a branch of our government, would argue
very little for the discretion ot the house. I here
will inevitably be a dirferenoe ot opinion as to the
compensation which should be allowed to these
officers. Men cannot define accurately, at once,
the comparative compensation that ought to be
given to mental labor. But all would admit that
mental labor was entitled to higher compensation
than bodily, and that there was no department of
our government which required so much mental
labor as that in which public justice is adminis
tered He hoped the motion for progress and
leave would be adopted
The question was taken, and the committee
rose and reported accordingly
The bill to compensate petit jurors was taken
up, and read.
Mr. Jourdan moved to re commit it t.o a special
committee, and submitting the motion, he said,
his object was not to defeat tlie bill, nor to clog it
on its passage, but. for the purpose of having the
conflicting interests, feelings and views, in rela
tion to it reconciled. From the attempts that had
been made formerly, he said, it was evident, there
were conflicting opinions and interests on the sub
ject. which must be reconciled before the bill
could pass. The fund out of which it was propo
sed to pay the jurors, has been otherwise disposed
of by oui legislation. And it was a matter of se
rious enqniry how they were to be paid, whether
they shall receive it directly from the Treasury,
or whether the counties are to be burthened with
a tax for the purpose. A special Committee, he
thought, could arrange this matter.
Mr. Burns remarked, that if the gentleman had
read the bill as it was originally written, his objec
tions would not exist.. Part, of it had been left
out in the printing, by omitting to inform the
printer, that a part, which appeared to be stricken
out was to remain. He was not disposed to press
the matter on bo yot lir honed the hill
would not bo re-committed, but be put upon its
passage, in the usual course.
Mr. Ryan , hoped the course proposed by the
gentleman from Jones, would be pursued. The
subjoctwas one of great importance, and required
much deliberation. Refer it to a select committee j
and they could discuss it in all its various bear- >
mgs. Let them collect all the views on the sub-1
ject, and report such a bill as will meet the expec-,
tation of the house, and satisfy the friends of the
measure. Ho would greatly prefer this course.
Mr. Burns conceived that this course would
only throw the bill back in its order on the clerks
table. As it now stands, it can be brought up at
any time, and acted on.
Mr. Sturges admitted there woro, in relation to
this measure, various interests, and that there
were some counties that were not able to compen
sate their jurors. These difficulties could not be
remedied, if the bill were taken up in committee
of the whole house. These conflicting interests
could be better reconciled in the committee of
the whole, than in any other way. He did not
charge upon others a design to clog the bill. But
the proposed reference would have that tendency.
The committee would perhaps report it in a differ
ent form. Gentlemen are now prepared to amend
the bill; but if its complexion were changed by
the committee, and new matter introduced, mem
bers would have to make up their minds again.—
He hoped the motion would not prevail, and that
the question would be tested on its merits.
Mr. Walker thought it should he refer
ed, so that the committee might refer to the
tax returns iu the proper office, and ascer
tain the amount paid by each county. The ■
toll contemplates the withdrawal of a large
portion of the revenue of the state, from 1
the purposes to which it has been hitherto
devoted, and the appropriation of it to the
payment of the judicial officers of the
country, for jurors are judges. This is a
division of the public revenue, which is
new, and all the facts in relation to ii
should be ascertained. He thought it an
innovation on the common law trial of the
country All innovations on that he con
sidered to be dangerous, and quoted the
elegant commentator on English law, on
the subject.
As the bill contemplates a withdrawal of
the revenue from its ordinary purposes, ana
a change of the common law principles of
the country, he thought the reference to a
special committee, to be the better course ;
that we might have the various ideas on the
subjett—iis details, its mode of execution,
and its policy or impolicy reported to the
House.
Mr. Walker said it seemed as if gentle
men took it for granted, that ail are agreed
on the principle of the hill, and only differ
ed as to tiie mode of paying jurors. He
was not satisfied, as to the correctness of
the principle. For he had always consid
ered the services of a juror, as a premium
paid for the privilege of having his causes
tried by his peers. The history of trial by
jury proves this.
After some farther discussion, in which
Messrs. S iff-dd, Sturges, Kcliols, Jourdan,
Haynes, Ryan, Myers and Cleveland took
pa t, the house decided to refer the hill to
> select committee by a vote of 68 to 60.
The hill to extend the time of taking out
grants in the lotteries of 1819 and 1821,
and to reduce the lees, was again taken up
in committee of the whole—Mr. Ryan in
the chair.
! jyj r . Freeman of Franklin, moved that
the blank he filled with $6.
j Mr. Dougherty of Clark, observed that
ji u addition to the remarks he had made the
1 other day, ho would say, that lie had orders
ito take out grants to a considerable a- ’
mount, if the time was not extended, and |
in almost every instance, those who wanted 1
piano were men of property. He had
conversed with other gentlemen, and they j
had given him the same account of the
matter. He hoped the house would not
interfere in the matter.
Mr Speaker Hudson, offered a substitute
fertile bill, and observed that it contained j
no new provision, further than to extend I
the time for taking out the grants. He.
thought that it was time to close that bu- J
sirress. By the first of July next every I
person who intended to take out his grants, I
would take them out. They would, by |
this extension of the time, have fair notice, j
He had thought the 25th Dec. next ample;
time. But as some gentlemen thought that
too early, he had offered the substitute,
more inconsiderance with their wishes than
his own.
Mr. Cleverlatid , in substance, urged the
propriety of extending the time till the
people had a chance to make another crop.
Mr. Sturges , remarked that he knew
many of his constituents were poor, and had
not been able to take out their grants. —
Tiie state had no use for the money, and
had a perfect lien upon the land. It was
the duty of the legislature—an imperious
obligation to act for the benefit of the
people. He would, therefore, allow them
further time, as the interest of the state, in :
this instance, did not at all conflict with j
that of individuals. He hoped the house
would pass the bill.
Mr. Saffold was opposed to the substi
tute. He had been opposed, he said, to
the reduction of tho fees, because he be
hoved that the reduction would not be ofj
benefit to the poor, but to the ricli—to spe- j
culators. But inasmuch as the price of 1
fees had been reduced in ihe two former \
lotteries, he would reduce the fees in that ?
of 1821, so that they might be on an equal- ;
ity. He was willing also to extend the,
time for taking out the grants. He then
spoke of the lands in Florida as affording’•
inducements to emigration, and hence the
reduction of the value of lands in this state.
And for this reason would wait another
year, at least, on fortunate drawers. If!
they did not then take out their lands he I
would sell them, and put the money into
the Treasury, and not into the pockets
speculators. Ho was opposed to the adop
tion o the substitute, hut wished to exieud
the time for another year—to the meeting
of the next Legislature at least.
After some remarks* by Mr. Freeman
and M . oyan which could not be heard—
Mi. Ti'crson rose and spoke at some
length. The following is a sketch of his
remaiks. He was opposed to tho Whole
proceeding. Ever} lortunate drawer, he
said, must have had time in the 9or 10
years that have elapsed since the lotter
.v.o, .o iafv oui ins grants H he desired lo
do so. He could see no good reason for
the extension of the time. Ev ry man who
was able, had had ample time, and could
have either come or sent to the seat of go.
vernmeut in the space of 9 or 10 years,
with the necessary means. To those who
j were able, and had not come, there was
nothing due. They had no claims upon
the legislature. And is there a man who
has not been able, at some time or other,
to raise the means to meet this requsition?
He believed there was not one. Every
man had been able he believed, unless by
his vicious and abandoned habits bo had
squandered his moans. It appeared to him
that iliere was no man who had a fair
claim for farther indulgence, if he was able
to takeout his grants, and if he was not
able through his own vicious indulgence he
certainly had no claims.
It has been urged, said Mr. I. that ihe
poor hive not been able—Sir, if the fact
were fairly ascertained, it would be found
that a majority of those which have not
taken out grants, is composed of men who
have been prevented by their own profli
gacy. He would not adroit the fact, it
would be too humilitating to this free coun
try, that any man in it, had not had it in his
power since these lottries, to raise the piti
-1 fel sum necessary to pay fora grant. He
would venture the assertion, and do it with
confidence, that nine tenths of this very
laud, belonged to men who have been vi- ‘
cious and abandoned iu their habits, or that,
have been prevented by death, and ever
will be prevented, or to speculators, who
had no immediate use for the lands, but.
had left them in the office to avoid the pay-i
tnent of taxes, except that another opportu- j
nity would be afforded by a reduction in!
the price, to gratify their sordid propensi- t
ties. If we are called on to look with an j
eye of compassion on such men, he had’
no compassion to indulgeffor them There ■
was no obligation to pass the law for their j
benefit. But there was a sacred obliga-!
tion to promote the general interest of the I
country had now sent mo- j
ney to take out their grants. Ifyou ex- i
tend the time further, this money will be;
returned. Reject the hill and this money
will go into the treasury, to be used for the
public good.
II Sir, this law is passed, said Mr. I.
persons who hold back, will still hold back.
This land, you may rest assured, will not
be taken out. They will wait for another
opportunity, and the state will be deprived
of its money. The best interests of the
State, required that ihe business should be
brought to a close. And the law of the
last session, was intended to bring it to a
close. Sufficient notice had been given of
that intention, so that there could be no
excuse on the plea of ignorance. If by the
operation of the law, some persons lose
their land, and others get hold of it, whose
fault is it? Is it the fault of this House?
No Sir—They have been notified, and if
they have neglected to comply with the no
| tice, it is altogether their own fault. On
the Whole, he saw no good reason why the
time should be extended, but on the con
trary, there were many, why the business
should be colsed The Treasury va ill be
! benefitted; all will be benefited but specie
! lators. The poor have no further claim
ito indulge than the rich All are on the
I same footing. In this free and happy
! country, all are entitled to the same rights,
; the same favours, the same privileges. He
i would not legislate fer one particular class,
but fer the general interest. The term,
poor man, had been used of late, as n cant
phrase to suit certain purposes. He dis
claimed being actuated by any such motives.
Mr. Freeman , here called Mr. I. to or
der.
Mr. I. said he did not apply the remark
to that gentleman, more than to any other
The remark was general, and he hoped no
gentleman would apply it to himself. He
felt it to be bis doty to legislate fer the
whole community, and would grant no ex
clusive indulgences. In this instance, he
could not see how the poor was to be ben
efited, without injuring the community.
The fees had been already reduced,and he
hoped there would be no farther reduction,
or extension of the time.
A motion was made, that the substitute
be received, which was rejected.
Mr. Ryan , remarked that there were men
in his section of the country, who had not
been able to explore the country, and see
their land. You may call them poor, or
rich or indolent —what you please. There
are such men. There are men who have
not had $8 to spare, to pay for a grant. Why
not indulge them father? There will be no
injury to the state, in granting indulgence.
Why do you indulge the purchasers of frac
tions from year to year They are rich men,
yet you indulge them. He thought it was
good policy t< extend the time and reduce
the price He had ever been a friend to the
lottery system, because it bad a tendency to
bring aboutthat happy time when every man
in the country could look around him, and
say, this is my land. If we are the friends
of this system why not let its benefits be felt
to their full extent. The state did not want
funds As to the distinction that had been
merle between the state and the people—he
could not recognize it. Ho had always con
sidered the people themselves to be the state.
He would not legislate partially, in this or in
any other case ; but according to the best
dictates of bis conscience. And according
ly, now, if men had not been able to explore
their land, and ascertain whether it would
not be taking the bread from the t moullis of
their children,to spend their money in taking
out grants for it, he would indulge them
farther. He said he lived in an olrlJcountv,and
had no personal interest in the,matter. Gen- I
tlemen living in new counties,of course wish !
this business to be brought to a close The}’
wish these lands disposed of in some way or
other, so that their counties mav be settled.
They no doubt are discharging their duties
to their constituents. But if gentlemen wish
the treasury to be enriched, and that sys
tem to be totally disregarded, whose object
was to make every man a freeholder, then
they would vo e against the bill on the table.
Mr .Nesbi*, spoke pertinently,and at con
siderable length, in opposition u> the bill—
discanting on the policy the slate had pur
sued with the public property —the economy
which holds on with an adhesive grasp with 1
one hand, and throws away wbh the other,
that strains at a gnat, and swallows a cam- j
el—the treachery which had deprived the
state of h°r immense domain, to the west,
&c but owing to an accidental inter
ruption, his remarks were not reported.
Mr. Freeman , was understood to refer in
reply, to cos* s in which there had been spe- t
cial legislation, and fer the benefit of the
poor. He referred particularly to the act, 1
for tiie relief of honest debtors,and conclu
ded by remarking that ifgentlemens speech
es were correctly reported, they should do
very little credit to their popularity in their
counties.
Mr. Iverson , said that as for himself, he
was perfectly willing that any thing he had
said should be reported. And if the gentle
man desired if, he would write down his
speech and hand it to him, that he might
report it himself. Mr. I said that he had a
strong sympathy for poor men, for tho very
best of reasons, that he was a poor man
himself. lam a poor man, he said, myself,
but Sir, I do not on that account ask for in
dulgence. I ask for no exclusive privi
leges.
Honor and shame from no condition rise,
Act well your part —there all the honor lies.
I respect the poor as well as the rich—
and being a p or man myself, I would not
ask for privileges—being” a poor man, 1
would disdain to ask for indulgence.
Gentlemen argue from the case of the
purchasers of fractions The cases are not
parallel. The state has sold their fractions
for the full value of them. It is to the in
terest of the state to indulge the purchasers
because in doing so it holds on to a larger
sum than perhaps would be had by selling
the lands again. One argument he said,
he would mention that had not been yet
mentioned—What was the object of fixing
a price on these grants ? That the ex
penses of surveying and disposing of the
land might be refunded to the state. Yet
these expenditures never have been refund
ed, and if tho system of indulgence after
indulgence is pursued they never will be
refunded. The only plan that remains is
to cut the business short at once.
The blanks were filled with 8 dollars.
The committee then rose and reported
agreement to the bill with amendments.
In the H( •use a motion was made and
rejected to strike out SB, foi the purpose of
inserting $6.
The bill was then read the third time and
passed.

pointment of committees and the call of the
counties for new busines.
