TWENTIETH IMY’s rBOCEKDINUM.
SENATE.
Thubsday, Nov. 23.
Senate met; President Trammell in
the Chair. Prayer by Rev. Mr. Ketcbum.
The roll called and journal approved.
Mr. Wellborn atated that donbt bad
been expressed as to whether the ]>re-
oidiug officer bad a right to vote excopt
in cuae of n tie; therefore, to arrive at
the sense of tbo Senate on the question,
ho moved to correct so much of the jour
nal as relates to the passage of the Elec
tion Bill on yesterday.
Mr. Burns insisted on the President's
right to vote, and read a preoedent there
for from the journals of the Senate of
1369.
The President ruled that the Choir hod
a right to vote iu order to make the re
quisite two-thirds on tho juusage of the
bill, and sustained his riding by reading
from Cushing, and also based the eame
on the constitutional right of the District
represented by tho Presidout, to vote,
which no rule could restrain.
Mr. Wellborn said that a precedent
wonld ho established by this action, and
in order to settle the matter definitely
by decision of the Senate, he appealed
from the decision of the Chair.
Mr. Bums hoped tho decision woulJ
be sustained.
Campbell spoke against the ruling on
the ground that it was not competent for
the President to change the character of
the result from negative to affirmative by
a vote, and that us soon as the negative
character of the result was determined
by the wont of the requisite majority, the
vote had ceased, and read from Cushing.
Mr. Heese placed the right of the
President to vote in suoh case on
higher authority than Cusbiug, Mell,
or Jefferson; for, under tho Consti
tution, the lteprc8entative of the 43rd
District, had a right to vote in any po
sition which he might occupy, and cited
a precedent from the impeachment trial
of President Johnson, where the pre
siding officer of the Senate claimed and
exercised tho right to cast a vote which
determined the question whether he
•hould be President of the United States;
also, a celebrated cam in the United
States Congress, on the occasion of the
adoption of a constitutional amendment,
in 1903, where a constitutional majority
being required, when the vote stood ayes
83, nays 42, tho Speaker of the House,
Mr. Maoon, claimed the right to vote,
and it was by that vote that the amend
ment was adopted. [Cushing 122—note.]
The decision of the Choir was sus
tained by ayes—Messrs. Black, Brock,
Brown, Bruton, Burns, Cameron, Can
dler, Clarke, Cone, Estes, Erwin, Heard,
Hicks, Hillycr, Hinton, Hoyle, Jervis,
Jones, Jordan, Kirkland, Kihbee, Lester,
Matthews, McWhorter, Nichols, Nun-
nally, Peddy, ltoese, Bicliurdson, Sim
mons, Steadman and Wellborn—82.
Nays—Messrs. Anderson, Campbell,
Coleman. Crayton and Wallace—5.
The consideration of a bill to provide
a remedy by which money or property
stolen or detained from the State or the
Western ami Atlantic Railroad may be
recovered, and an amendment thereto,
being unfinished business of yesterday,
was then taken up. The amendment
changes the mode of prosecution of per
sons charged with having violated the
proviaious of the bill, and dispenses with
Pond and security required by the bill,
except by order of court ou the return of
n rule nisi, issued at the instance of the
informer.
Mr. Hinton forcibly advocated the
amendment on the ground that the re
quisition of the bond would be an im
pediment in tho way of prosecution.
Mr. Nunnally opposed the amendment.
He defended the bill as reported, and
said the Committee did not desire to
shield wrong doers, but to shield the
courts from petty suits instituted by all
classes of portions from any sort of motive
and to protoet the innocent from such
unjust prosecution.
Mr. Hoylo favored the amendment aud
desired to encourage informers in every
way, without unreasonable restriction.
Mr. Brown spoke in opposition to the
amendment. He thought there conld
be no difficulty in finding solvent per
sons to go security on the bond in any
mcritorions prosecution.
Mr. Hillyer insisted that the practioal
effect of tho hill as it stands is to restrict
suits, so as to prevent tho recovery of
property stolen from tho State. Ho ro-
vioivcd the history of the bill, and said
his idea of its necessity lie had obtained
from his experience os commissioner to
audit accounts agninst the Western and
Atlantic Railroad, aud lie found out there
wlint general interest was iu the matter,
and tho widoly disseminated knowledge
concerning it. .
Mr. Brown said thero was one instance
here in tho city of Atlauta which the bill
would reach, *here the property could
Dot get away, and as far as that matter is
concerned, ou behalf of those interested
in the purchase of the Mitchell property,
he invites investigation by a committee,
or otherwise. ..... , . ,
Mr Hillyer averred that tho lull had
been drawn with no refereuco to the
Mitchell property, and that that had not
been thought of until the bllljhud beou
committed; that some of the purchasers
were among his best friends; but that
could have no influence upon his action,
and thov should bo made amenable to
law as all other persons.
Mr. Candler asked if it was possible
that no objection had been made to the
bill until this discussion had developed
the fact in its execution it might involve
friends and citiecno, and he hoped H
would be considered without any bias
or prejudice for or agaiust any oue.
Mr Nichols called llto previous ques
tion. The cull was sustained, and the
motion to strike out section 9th was lost

Mr Leater nUted that the diaoumion or
the bill hod taken a course at which lie
was mortified, for it had boen aseumod
by the Senator, that the bill hud been
intn dneed so mi to enal le its movers to
shield themselves in its execution behind
some irresponsible insolvent; whereas,
the bill bad boon introduced solely for
tho purjiose s|>eci8ed in it, and not to
meet any particular case.
Mr. ilia ton offered an amendment to
the bill, providing that when the infor-
,er is unable to give bond, as
i Section 9lb, he ah.ll bo allowed to file
his affidavit and proceed as though bond
had bcon given; adopted by uvea 19, navs
18.
Mr. Smith offered an amendment that
the bill sbull relate to the future, and
provide for the recovery of property
which may hereafter be so determined
or stated; adopted.
Mr. Burns moved to strike out the
words “oouusol fees;" adopted, by ayes—
23; nays—14.
The bill was passed.
Bills on first reading.
By Mr. Bruton—To incorporate tho
town of Cairo, Thomas county; also, to
amend paragraph 3, auction 1969 of the
code rclatin to steamboat lines.
Ou motion, the Senate then adjourned
until 10, a. u., to-morrow.
HOUSE OF ItlpBESENTATIVES.
House met; Speaker Smith in the
Chair. Prayer by Rev. Mr. Cox. Jour
nal approved.
Clower of Monroe moved to reconsider
so much of yesterday's proceedings as
relate to the passago of the Election Bill
over the Governor's veto.
Mr. Lang made the point of order that
the bill haa been orderod transmitted to
tho Senate by a two-thirds vote, and was
therefore out of the power of the House.
Tho Speaker ruled the point well taken.
A resolution providing that hereafter
this House will meet at 3 o’clock r. M.,
lor tho purpose of reading Honso hills u
second time, was adopted.
Mr. Farmer of Liberty offered a reso
lution instructing the Judiciary Commit
tee to report whether or not any further
legislation is necessary to provide fully
for an eleotion for Governor in Deoember
next.
Mr. McMillan moved to amend bv in
structing the Committee to inquire wheth
er or not a law in reference to filling un-
expired terms can be so framed os to
cover the present case, as well as future
cases which may arise. The amendment
was accepted and the resolution was
adopted.
The Spalding connty contested election
cose was then taken up.
Mr. Hall, of Meriwether, preseted a
certificate from a physician saying that
Mr. Daniel A. Johnson,fcthe present in-
cumbont of the seat, is dangerously sick
in Griffin. Mr. Hall said that he offered
this certificate simply to show why Mr.
D. A. Johnson is not in his seat, this
morning.
A majority of the Judiciary Committee
reported that the evidence submitted to
the Committee on Privileges and Elec
tions, to-wit: tho evidence of the Grand
Jury whioh examined the ballots, was ad
missible.
Mr. MoMillan thought the evidence
submitted was not admissible, and read
from the Code in supjmrt of his position.
He was in favor of declaring that there
bod been no election.
Mr. SimmoDa of Gwinnett said that
the majority of tho Judiciary Committee
held that the section of the Code regu
lating the manner of taking testimony
was in conflict with tho Constitution,
which says that each branch of the Gen
eral Assembly is the judge of the quali
fications and election returns of its own
members. He thought otherwise, snd
was of opinion that the evidenoe sub
mitted to tho Committee on Privileges
and Elections was inadmissible, and that
to hold the contrary wonld establish a
dangerous precedent.
Mr. Russell reviewed tho facts of the
case, and contended that the Bection of
the Code was never intended to limit the
Legislature in its efforts to devoloji fraud
and the casting of illegal votes in the
election of its members. In this cose it
was clearly proven that 87 illegal votes
were cast, and all of them were for the
present incumbent, except two. Throw
ing ont those illegal votes, the contest
ant had a clear majority. Whother a
man be Domocrat or Republican he does
not want to seo him upon this floor rep
resenting a county if he was elected by
illegal votes.
Mr. McMillan was allowed to couolude
his speech which was cut abort by expi
ration of allotted timo. Ho continued
his argument in relation to the law of the
case, urging that the ov'dcnce, other than
that taken in tho regular and usual wav,
ought not to have been admitted, espe
cially if the incumbent had not had the
required notice.
Mr. Pou wns opposod to the adoption
of the report of the Committee, and was in
favor of declaring that the present incum
bent is entitlod to retain liii scat As to
the notice, even if not givon the present
incumbent waived it. when he appeared
and put iu a plea. But tho law pre
sumes that tho incumbent, who was
sworn in, was legally elooted, and the
onus of proving tho reverse, was upon
tho contestant, and he ought to have to
Bhoivn that the parties who voted these
illegal ballots, voted them illegally or re
sided out of the county, and these facta,
in the opinion of Mr. Pou, woro not
fully proven.
Mr. McMillan offered as a substitute
for tho report of tho committee a reso
lution declsriug that there had been no
election in Spalding county.
Mr. Scott said that at Unit he was de
posed to oppose the claims o! the con
testant, but upon more reflection and an
examination of the law, he became con
vinced that his claims were well founded.
Uuder tho statute, taken in connection
with the Constitution, there can be no
doubt but that tho evidence taken waa
clearly odmissiblc.
Mr. Netberland thought that even after
_ member had received u certificate from
the Governor, this House is not estopped
from reojieuing the whole ease and fully
investigating all facta connected with the
election of such member, and this may lie
done by a choice of the uieuus and man
ner of making such investigation.
Mr. Pierce said that the Committee ou
Privileges aud Elections, comjtooed of
members of both parties, made this re
port unanimously, after mature investi
gation. It certainly is true that one or
the other of these parties was elected,
and there was no evidenoe before the
Committee to warrant the declaration
by this Honse that there had been
no election. If the evidenoe of fraud u
sufficient the contestant ought to be
aeated, aud if it is not, then the incum
bent ought to be let alone. The jiroof
waa sufficient to show that illegal votes
wore east, and tho incumbent admits it
by not offering rebutting proof. Mr.
Pieroe reviewed the evidence, aud claimed
that the fraud of stealing the ballot-box
was chargeable to the incumbent's parly,
and that after the notice of oontest was
given.
Mr. Henderson called the previous
question. The call was sustained.
Mr. McMillan's resolution dcclariug s
vacancy was lost ,
The motion to adopt tho reyort of the
committee, declaring David H. Jobnsor,
j the contestant entitlod to the scat, was
put.
The yeas aud nays wero put with the
following result: Yeas 98, nays 33.
Mr. Hoge gave notice that he would
move a reconsideration to morrow.
Mr. McWhorter said that the House
had decided that Mr. David H. Johnson
was a member, and that action could not
be gone behind.
Mr. Johnson was then sworn in.
Tho substitute reported by the Finance
Committee for the bill to change tho per
diem of officers and members of the Gen
eral Assembly was taken nji. This sub
stitute fixes the pay of President of the
Senate and speaker of tho House at 810
per day, aud of members and Senators ut
87 per day, with 85 for every twenty
miles as mileage.
On this substitute tho House wont into
Committee of the Whole—Mr. McMillan
in the chair.
Tho committee rose and reported that
no conclusion hod beou come to.
A motion to go again iuto committee;
lost.
Mr. Snead made tho point of order
tlint uo members can vote on this question
because of their interest in it This
point was not ruled ou because it would
disjxise of a hill which tho House was
considering.
Leave of absence was granted to Messrs.
Sellers, Hooks, Collins and Harvey.
A message from the Governor was re
ceived, but not read.
Pending discussion of the bill to reduce
per diem, the House was declared ad-
joured until 3, p. u.

Washington, November 23.—At one
o’clock to-day carriages containing the
Duke and Suite arrived aud entered the
Executive Mansion—tho assemblage on
tho portico giving cheers as the Prince
alighted—which ho acknowledged by
lifting his chapeau and bowing. The
Duke, Minister Catacazy, and Adohirul

lowed his Excellency W. F. Much in,

and pale blue sash over his shoulder. Ho
removed his chapeau immediately upon
entering the door.
Minister Catacazy wore his Court uni
form, heavily trimmed with gold laces.
The members of the Duke’s suit all wore
full uniforms, elaborately trimmed and
decorated according to their respective
ranks. The President and members of
tho Cabinet were in full dress suits.
Mrs. Delano was dressed iu black vel
vet, black lace shawl and pink ribbon
headdress. Mrs. Akerman was drecsed
in black silk with train and bonnet, with
maroon trimmings. Mrs. Grant wus as
sisted by Miss Nellie, Mrs. Bliarpe aud

As soon as the Duke and his suite reach

position between an ottoman in the cen
ter of n room anil the door leading to the

Tho President, accompanied by his
Cabinet and Secretary, then entered tho

The Duke then preseutod Mr. Bois, of
his suite, and the President in turn pre

Admiral next called on Admiral Porter,
and on several members of diplomatic
corps; subsequently all the Grand Duke's
Suite dined together with him at tho res
idence of Catacazy.
At 9 o’clock to-morrow morning tho
Grand Duko will leave Washington ou u
special train for Anuapoiis. Tho party
will be accompanied by Secretary Robe
son, several naval officers, and General
Horace Porter. Tho party will remain
ut Anuapoiis about three hours,
where the Duke will visit the
Naval Academy, und on returning
to Washington ho will, with
his suite, leave ou tho special traiu for
New York. The Duke, wheu asked to
day concerning a future visit to Wash
ington, stated that nothing hail been
definitely arranged on that subject; but
thut ho should be glad to come here dur
ing the session of Congress.
The Russinu Miuister and Russian
Commodore left cards for Fish to-day.
The general impression is, that Fish
has blundered iu allowing personal
pique to override Vattel’s precepts of
international courtesy.
