SUUclonsUtuUonnl Convention
Thihsoay, Feb. 13, 1868.
Convention met et regular hour.
Prayer by the Chaplain.
The journal was read and approved. Quo
rum Mtßent,
Messrs. Cmattkbh, lUrrisok of Unucock,
Davis and Stewart asked leave to change
their rote on the passage of the third sec
lion of the article of Franchise from nay
to yea: Messrs. Jotssa and Sikes from yea
to nay : snd Mr. Waltox asked to record hts
rote in the affirmative. On motion, leave
was granted.
The first businees in order was the motion
ol Mr. CorriNc, to suspend the rules, for the
purpose of allowing the following resolution
to be considered : .
Whereas, sotuo unauthorized person
baa undertaken to institute proceedings in
the Supreme Court of the Uuited States,
in the name of the State of Georgia vs.
Generals Grant, Meade, and others, there
fore.
Resolved by this Convention, represent
ing the people and sovereignty of the State
of Georgia, that no person has been em
powered by any statute of this State, or by
any ordinance of this Convention, to com
mence or prosecute any snch suit, and that
the people of Georgia, as plaintiffs, will
not litigate said suit, and demand that it
be dismissed from said Court.
Resolved. That as it may be necessary
that an Attorney should bo employed to
represent the State of Georgia in said suit,
the Hon. B. 11. Bigham, of Troup county,
be authorized and empowered to represent
.the State in the above mentioned case be
fore the Supreme Court, and procure the
dismissal of the same.
. D. G. Cottikg explained his position and
the motives which induced him to offer the
resolution.
The resolution only provided for the ap
pointment of an attorney to represent the
State of Georgia in case it might be neces
sary. Contingencies might arise that would
require such a representation. The Gov
ernment had, it was said, employed counsel
to represent itself, but it appeared that the
suit was brought in the name of the State
of Georgia, and the State did not appear to
be directly represented in the case. It was
to provide against any contingencies which
might arise, injurious to the State, that this
resolution was offered. They could not tell,
from the meagre information before them,
what was the ground of the suit, but the
design was plain enough—it was a part of
the warfare instituted against reconstruction,
in which the Supreme Court had been
attempted lo be made a weapon.
As to the objection of the expense of
employing an attorney, it might boa matter
of sound economy. If the State of Georgia
is cast in the suit she would be, so far as
anything appears to the contrary, cast in
the cost, and it was not to be supposed that
the Hon. Mr. Black was going to work for
nothing, nor that Governor Jenkins, if lie
was the person instigaring the suit, was
going to pay him out of his own pocket;
Black would demand bis fee from tbe
Treasury of Georgia. Therefore, the ques
tion was, whether it was more economical
to run tbe pecuniary risk of a prolonged
and expensive law suit, or to dismiss it at
once.
Mr. Prince moved the previous question,
which motion prevailed, and the main
question, the motion to suspend the rules,
was lost—yeas 48, nays 55.
The report of the Committee on Fran
chise was taken up, and the fourth section
was read, as follows:
Sec. 4. All persons before registering
must take and prescribe the following oath :
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that
I will support and maintain the Constitution
and laws of the United States, and the
Constitution and laws of Georgia; that I
:yn not excluded from registering by any
of the clauses of section 3, article —of the
Constitution of Georgia; that I will never
countenance nor aid in the secession of this
State from the United States. So help me
God.”
Mr. Whiteley moved to strike ont tlio
whole section.
Mr. Dunning offered the following as a
substitute.
Sec. 4. All electors, if required to regis
ter, most take and subscribe the following
oath : “I do solemnly swear, (or affirm),
that I will sopport and maintain the Con
stitution and laws of the United States,
and the Constitution and laws of Georgia,
and that I will never countenance nor aid
m the secession of this State from the
United States, So help me God.”
Mr. McCay moved to strike out ot the
last clause of the substitute, the following
words : “and that I will never countenance
nor aid in the secession of this State from
the United States.”
Mr. Dunning asked leave to withdraw
his substitute, which was granted.
Mr. Dunning moved to amend the
oiiginal section by striking out the words
“persons” and "before” in the first line,
and insert "electors if required to register ”
Mr. WfiITELEY moved the previous
question, which motion was sustained, and
the question recurred upon the amend
ment of Mr. Dunning, which was adopted.
The question then recurred upon the
motion to strike out the whole section, and
the yeas and nays were ordered, and re
suited—yeas 72, nays 60.
So the motion to strike out prevailed.
Section five was read as follows :
Sec. 5. Electors shall, in all cases ex
cept treason, felony, or breach of the peace,
be privileged from arrest and civil process
for five days before the first day of elec
tion, on the day of election, and ten days
subsequent to the last day of election
Mr. McCay moved to amend by striking
out all after tbe word " process,” and iu
sorting the words, “ whilst going to, re
maining at, and returning from election.”
The main question was ordered
Mr. Conley called for a division of the
question, and the motion to strike out was
lost.
Mr. Whitely moved to strike out the
words " and civil process,” upon which
motion the yeas and nays were ordered,
and resulted, yeas 71, nays 60.
So the motion to strike out prevailed, and
the section as amended was adopted.
Sec. C was read as follows:
It shall be tbe duty of the General Assem
bly to enact adequate laws, giving protec
tion against the evils arising from the use
of intoxicating liquors at elections.
Mr. Conley moved to strike out the
words “at elections." Motion lost.
Mr. Murphy offered the following gub
stfute, which was adopted:
Skc. 6. The sale oUintoxicating liquors
on days of election in mis State is hereby
forever prohibited.
Sections 7 and 9 were read as follows,
and adopted.

Sec. 9. The election of Governor, Sena
tors and Representatives shall be on the
Tuesday after the first Monday in November,
unless otherwise provided by the General
Assembly. . ... ,
Mr. Bryant moved to insert the words
“members ot Congress” after the word Gov
ernor : the words “after the year 18G8" after
the word Representatives, and to strike out
the word “be” and insert “commence” in
lieu thereof.
Lears of absence was granted to Mesbrs.
Shields and Roberts.
Mr Bryant moved tho previous qnostion,
which motion was sustained, when the ques
tion recurred upon the amendments of Mr.
Bryaxt, which were agreed to, and the
section as amended was adopted:
Sec. 9. The election for Governor, Mem
bers of Congress, Senators, and Representa
tives, after the year 1868, shall commence

Sec. 10. All qualified electors, aud none
others, shall be eligible to any office in this
State unless disqualified by the Constitution
of this State, or by the Constitution of the
United States.
Mr. Martin, of Habersham, offered a
substitute, wnich was lost.
