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. Wednesday Nov. 12.—After the ap pointment of committees and the call of the counties for new busines.
