Congress,—.No Speaker,—Mr. Crawford.
No Speaker is yot elected in Congress. The
whole South is excited and the Republicans are
arrogant. Mr. Sherman, of Ohio, the Republi
can candidate for Speaker, lacks six votes of an
election ; Mr. Bocock, of Virginia, the democrat
ic candidate, lacks twenty-eight to elect him; Mr.
Gihner, of North Carolina, receives twenty-two
votes, scattering, twelre votes. Two South
Americans from Maryland, Messrs. Davis and
Ricaud, support the Republican candidate, the
remaining Americans vote for Mr. Gilmer. There
is a strong disposition on the'part of the House to
ferret out the breadth and depth of the Harper’s
Ferry invasion and sound to the core the real
position of the Sduth m the Union. Mr. Gilmer
is courting Black Republican influence by offer
ing a peace resolution, which, however right, ab
stractly considered, introduced at this time is as
disastrous to the policy and independence of the
South, as was the entrance of the Grecian Horse,
filled with armed men, to the good people of
Troy. It is difficult to foresee what the result
will be. From a perusal of the correspondence
of the New York Daily News, we see that Mr
Crawford of Georgia and Mr. Stevens of New
York have had a controversy in the House.
Mr. Stevens, it seems, derided the Southern
members for their spirit, and ridiculed their dis
play of devotion to their section. This drew Mr.
Crawford to his feet, who made a short speech,
unintelligible to the reporters, so great was the
applause, confusion and calls to order.
The News says, “Members on all sides rose to
their feet and crowded the area near Messrs.
Stevens and Crawford. The greatest excitement
prevailed, and at one time a collision was feared.
Mr. Crawford continued his remarks, and said,
Don't sing psalms to the Union and Constitution
till we get quiet. He was again applauded and
continued speaking amid calls to order.”
We judge from the foregoing meagre report of
Judge Crawford's remarks, that he lashed, the
flanks of the Republicans well, and made the
galled jades wince. Judge Iverson, we see, has
also made a spirited speech in the Senate, The
eyes of the country are upon the Southern mem
bers, and we trust that they may bear themselves
with all the chivalry and independence, which
characterizes their constituents.
A Case for a Veto,
Every act of the Legislature, by the Constitu
tion of the State of Georgia, must receive the
sanction of the Governor before it can become op
erative. This is a wise and salutary regulation,
as it is the only ba'rrier which can be opposed to
hasty, unjust and inconsiderate legislation. The
action of our legislators at Miilcdgeville, the oth
er day, in the so-called “Democratic Convention”
is a case in point to illustrate the use and value
of the Veto power. Whatever consequence or
validity may be attached to that actioi;, is deriv
ed solely from the fact that the agents were legis
lators. They had authority to represent nobody
in any other capacity.’ What they did must have
effect only by virtue of their membership in the
Legislature, and was. therefore, a Legislative Act.
As such, it must undergo the |ordeal of the Gov
ernor’s revision, and we trust that that worthy
official will, in the exercise of his usual discrimi
nation, veto it.
The Pseudo Democratic convention.
This seßeconstituted body has assembled after
Jifteeu dags notice to sixty thousand democrats
in Georgia, and appointed delegates to the Na- 1
tional Democratic Convention to assemble at
Charleston. The call of the Executive Commit
tee for the 2d day of March was iguored—the
protest of forty democratic members of the Leg
islature disregarded—some sixty counties were
unrepresented—other counties were represented
without authority, and the whole party in the
State thrown into confusion and discord. The
Augusta Constitutionalist says the Convention
was a “lamentable failure,” the Savannah E.v
p> css repudiates its action, and other papers are
equally indignant. What is said by this journal
is not in a captious spirit, but for the interest and
harmony of the party i n the State. The 2d Con
gressional district and nearly all of the 4th dis
trict, with scattering counties through the State
were unrepresented. lion. Isaiah Irwin was
President of the Convention, and Hon. James L.
Seward was the leadiDg spirit. The following
delegates were appointed, lor tho State at
large, I. T. Irwin, J. U. Lumpkin, BE. L. Benning
and H. R- Jackson.
From the Ist district—James L. Seward, Julian
Hartridge.
From the 2d dist.—Arthur Hood, John W.
Evans.
From the 3d dist, —L. B. Smith, E. L. Stro
hecker; alternates, G. R Hunter, Allen P Coeh

From the 4th dist.—James J. Diamond, L. J.
Feathereton.
From the sth dist.—G. J. Fain, T. Wofford;
alternates, D. S. Printup, E. R. Hardin.
From the 6th dist.—Win. 11. Hull, S. J. Smith;
alternates, Geo. Hillyer, Andrew Young.
From the 7th dist.—J. M. Lamar, L.- 11. Bris
coe; alternates, Gray of Jones, Nisbet of Put

From the Bth dist.—D. C. Barrow, L. A. Nelms;

The Democratic Masses Rising.
A Democratic meeting was held in Webster
county on the 6th inst., two days before the as
sembling of the selt-constituted Convention at
Milledgeville, and resolutions adopted repudiat
ing the call of a portion of the democratic mem
bers of the Legislature for a Convention, and
sustaining the Executive Committee. Gov. Henry
A. Wise, was thechoice of the meeting for Presi
dent.
A meeting was also held in Randolph county
by the Democracy, and delegates appointed for
the March Convention to assemble in MiUedge
▼illo in accordance with the call of tho Executive
Committe.
The Democratic Convention. —We fully en
dorse the sentiments expressed by the Constitu
tionalist, in its issue of the 9th inst, when it says:
“The party is not bound by the action of the
convention of yesterday, because that body was
an unauthorized assemblage. It is free to ac
cept or repudiate that action. It did not author
ize the call of the convention—it was not repre
sented in it, and it is under no obligation to sub
mit to what it has done.”
The Democracy of the State will endorse the
above.

Second District In State Democratic Convention.
Milledgeville, Ga., Dec. 10.
Tho Democratic Convention has assembled and
done its work. There is a wide spread dissatis
faction at the obstinacy of some members of the
Legislature in insisting upon the spurious call.—
Hon. Mr. Seward led the disorganizers in the Con
vention and Mr. Irwin of Wilkes was President.
The 2d district withdrew in a body. One man by
tbe nance of Johnson concluded to represent De
catur county. lie is a Clerk in tbe Legislature,
and I understand has not resided in the district
long enough to vote. Nevertheless, when the
names of delegates to the Charleston Convention
were called, ho took the authority to represent
twenty-four counties, and nominated Hood and
Evans. The Convention of course unanimously
elected them. Thanks to Mr. Johnson, whoever
he is, for his attention to the democracy of the
2d Congressional District. The whole Conven
tion reflects no credit upon the Democratic mem
bers of the Legislature, who excluded the people
from a voice in the matter.
RAMBLER.
A Card.
The undersigned Democratic members of the
Legislature take this means of expressing to
the party their disapproval of the action of the
Democratic meeting last night in appointing
delegates to the Charleston Convention, and
respectfully protest against the authority of
said meeting to bind the Democratic party in
the premises.

Democratic Convention.
Milledgeville, Dec. 8.
On motion, the lion. J. T. Irvin was called
to the chair, Messrs. F. H. West, aud George
Hillier were appointed Secretaries.
Representatives of the Press were invited
to take seats on the floor.
A motion was made to call the counties.
Mr. Harris, of Worth, moved to leave out
the second Congressional District—most of
the members from the counties composing it
not being authorized to act and as chairman
of the meeting, from that district, moved to
adjourn sine die , subject to the call of the Ex
ecutive Committee of the State of a conven
tion,—his motion to adjourn did A not prevail,
and the second district retired.
The call of the counties was commenced.
Mr. Hall, of Meriwether, from the 4th, made a
few remarks stating that some of the counties
had sent delegates, others had not, not feeling
authorized to act himself and several of his
friends feeling as he did, withdrew.
A good many gentlemeu (members) gave in
in their names, but stating, though unauthor
ized, they would assume to act —others would
not take an unauthorized authority tipou them
selves —(is it not questionable, the authority
of members to assume that they are delegates,
Chatham certainly, has not delegated her mem
bers the representatives in this convention of
the Democratic party here.)
Mr. Dixon, of Muscogee, and Mr. Bowden,
of Putnam, stated that the Democracy of their
counties had deprecated this Convention and
requested them to protest against it and toen-
treat the delegates to put oil this Convention
till March.
Many gentlemen explained_ their positions
according to their feelings.
Mr. Ilardin, of Cass, offered a resolution
that the basis of representation in Convention {
be, for the amail counties 3; for the 30 largest i
5 votes each.
Mr. Oliver opposed. It gave the largest
counties two majority instead of one.
Mr. Laliarstead, (a delegate from Richmond,)
offered a substitute,, that we adjourn sine die
subject to the call from the Executive Com
mittee already made for the 2d Monday in
March. Mr. L. made some strong points on
his motion—many gentlemen were consenting
to act but under protest, Acc.
Mr. Smith, (delegate from Fulton,) support
ed the present Convention.
Mr. Seward also did.
There was a tremendous confusion pending
the motion to adjonrn, many gentlemen spoke.
The Convention Yesterday. —lt will be seen
by tho repeat of our Milledgeville correspondent,
that this unauthorized assembly met and organi
zed yesterday, and determined to elect delegates
to the Charleston Convention. It is an unprece
dented stretch of authority, without warrant, and
indefensible every way, and one that the people
will rebuke with fearful emphasis. The folly and
irregularity of the whole proceeding is manifest
in the fact that there are thirty counties in this
State, unrepresented by Democratic members of
the Legislature, and consequently disfranchised
by this act. There were but sixty-five counties
represented, forty-eight of whom had received no
instructions from their constituents and conse
quently utterly unqualified to act. The rights
of the people have been’usurped and their prero
gative rudely and ruthlessly snatched from them,
by men wholly unauthorised and irresponsible.
But they might have saved their time and breath,
for the power that placed these modest gentle
men where they are, will speak in its majesty on
the second of March 1860, and resume its viola
ted rights. —Savannah News 9th ilist
The Convention Yesterday.
Yesterday was the day designated for the
meeting of the Convention at Milledgeville called
by the Democratic members of the Legislature,to
appoint delegates to represent the Democracy of
this State in the Charleston Convention. We
have seen in the Democratic papers of the State
the proceedings of six mootings only, convened
for the purpose of appointing delegates to this
Convention, and five of them disapproved of the
action of tho Democratic members of the Legisla
ture in calling it. But still, we suppose that the
Convention was held, and that delegates were ap
pointed to the next National Convention of the
Democratic party.
The Democracy of the State, if they had been
permitted time to act, would have repudiated tbe
action of their Representatives in tho Legislature,
in calling this convention. Those representa
tives were sent to Milledgeville to attend to the
interests of the State and their constituencies,not
to nominate {delegates to tbe Demo
cratic party of Georgia, and cast its vote in tbe
Charleston Convention. That was a right which
was not delegated to them, but which tbe Demon
cratic people of the State expected at the proper
time to exercise. They were not permitted to
exercise that right in the convention held yester
day, for they were not and could not be represen
ted in that body. Nor did they care to be rep
resented in that body. They are not prepared
at such a time as this, when no one can say what
a day may bring forth, to indicate their choice
for a nominee for tho Presidency months in ad
vance of the meeting of tho nominating conven
tion, and lay down the platform upon which they
are willing to sustain that nominee. They wan
ted time to deliberate upon these important mat
ters, and to see what would be the developments
of tho next few months: and for these reasons,
they desired to postpone the appointment of del
egates to the Charleston Convention until the
time designated by the Executive Committee.
But these delegates were probably appointed
yesterday, and the question now is, will thepar
ty accept them, or prepare to hold the conven
tion on the second of March, which has been call
ed by tho Executive Committee, and appoint
others in their stead? The decision of this ques
tion will depend very much upon the action ta
ken by the convention yesterday. If the dele
gates appointed, and the platform adopted for
it, represent and express the views and feelings of
the Democracy of the State, there will be no-oth
er Convention; if they do not there will be. The
party is not bound by the action of the conven
tion of yesterday, because that body was not an
authorized assemblage. It is free to accept or
repudiate that action. It did not authorize the
call of tho convention —it was not represented in
it, and it is under no obligation to submit to what
it has done.We trust that the Convention has ap
pointed delegates and adopted a platform which
will be approved by the whole party, and that
there will be, therefore, no occasion for another
convention. But, before wo know what its action
has been, we desire distinctly to state, that in
our opinion, the party is free to accept or repu
diate it, and if it is repudiated, that the respon
sibility for the divisions and discords which may
ensue, will rest upon the democratic members of
the Legislature, who called the convention, with
out the sanction of tho party. —Augusta Consti
tutional ist 9th.
Dlvorce Bill—Mr. Wallace of Taylor.
From the Augusta Coiustitutionalist we ex
tract the following debate upon’ the divorce
law in the Legislature.
The biil of Mr. Wallace, of Taylor, to repeal
the third section of the divorce law of 1896,
caused considerable discussion in the Senate.
Mr. Hill of Troup, argued that the bill should
pass; he believed that the act of 1850, allow
ing divorces tor drunkenness, abuse, deser
tion, &c., was wrong, and ought to be repeal
ed, it should be dissolved as to both parties
alike.
Mr. Seward of Thomas, thought that if
members were opposed to divorces, they
should introduce a bill to repeal the whole di
vorce law of the present day ; by the present
law one party is not freed by the concurrent
verdicts of two special juries; they always
apply to the Legislature to be relieved from
the penalty of the law, in case of a subsequent
marriage; and in the hundreds of cases that
have come before the Legislature since ISOG,
there is not a single instance of refusal to grant
such an application.
Mr. Wallace, of Taylor, took the floor in
favor of his bill; the Legislature spend hun
dreds of dollars every few days of the session
in such special legislation. No doubt but two
hundred thousand dollars had been spent in
the last fifty years on special divorce bills that
the Legislature always granted, and why not
dispense with such an evil by a repeal of the
clause that caused it ? The workings of the
present law were almost always against the
innocent. He had known cases of husbands
abusing their wives in such manner that they
were obliged to leave them, and then obtained
a divorce from their wives on the ground of
desertion, as authorised by law; thus leaving
the innocent sufferer, barred from all the rights
of matrimony, while the guilty cause was ah
lowed to marry again.
As for the argument that the penalty kept
parties together, it was not true, and “he did
not desire to keep those together between
whom the sacred bond of love did not exist ;
and when, by error, or youthful inadvertence,
parties were united in a civil contract, that
difference of disposition and tastes forbid to
be even carried out; in short, where hatred
aud contention reigned in the room of love
and faith, the-sooner they got apart the better.
As for the sacred relations of matrimony, they
only existed where hearts were united.togeth
er. What God had thus joined together, no !
man wanted to put asunder; but God does not |
put his eternal sanction to everything that Ist
done by preachers and justices of the peace;
and a continued cohabitation’ under the coer
sion of law, where there is no affection, is hut
legalized adultery. Mr. Holt was for the bill,
because it would save the Governor the trouble
of writing so many vetoes. The bill was lost.

Washington, Da. 10—The Senate was noti:i
session to-day.
In the House, Mr. Hickman, of Penn., en
deavored to have a resolution adopted to elect a
Speaker and other officers, bytho plurality rule.
The effort was charcterised as a plan to enable
certain gentlemen to elect ft Republican Speaker
by indirect means. A warm debate ensued.
Mr. Curry, of Ala., made a speech in defence
of the South, and said if W. H. Seward is elected
President, in 1800, on a purely sectional platform
the time will have come for a political disruption
of the Union.
Mr. Miles, of South Carolina, during the de
bate said he was a sectional man, and owed Lis
first allegiance to South Carolina. When a sec
tional party was in existence at the North, who
could blame the South for assuming a sectional
attitude ? Like begets like, and they must meet ‘
force by force, if necessary.
There was no vote taken, and the House ad
journed until Monday.
