Mr. Wellborn, chairman of the Com
mittee on the State of the Republic to
whom was referred a resolution looking
to payment for emancipated slaves re
ported a resolution:
Whereas, The war lately waged by the
United S'atea Government against the
Confederate States was from the begin
ning of the year 1863 nntil the close of
id year, carried on for the express pur
pose of emancipating the slaves, and
emancipation having bfen received and
considered by all parties os a result of
the war; therefore,
Resolved, That the Senate looks with
disfavor upon the move emanating from
tho Republican side of tho Chamber,
having for its ostensible objeot tbo ob
taining pay for emancipated slaves; that
public opinion no where deems such a
result possible, and that no good, but, mi
on the oontrary, positive evil, would at
tend its agitation.
Mr. Bruton opposed the adoption of
the report, and said that lie had intro
duced the original resolution, in order
that it might be known to the world what
the South aad its property holders had
lost by tho emancipation of slaves.
Mr. Wellborn supported the report, on
the ground that tho resolution oould only
be fruitless, at least for good, but on' the
contrary, at tho present juncture, would
be extremely Injurious and impolitic.
S Mr. Brock opposed the intimatiou in
e report, that Ihis was a Republican
measure, and moved to strike out so
much of it as related to that matter. He
opposed the original resolution.
Campbell hoped that so much of the
report as threw the onus of this measure
upon the Republican party, would he
struck out, end said the Republican par
ty disowned it.
The motion of Mr. Brock, to strike
out “the move emanating from the Re
publican side of the Cliamber,” was lost
by
Ayes—Messrs. Anderson, Brook,
Campbell, Clark, Colman, Crayton, De-
voaux, Wallace and Welch.—9.
Nays—Messrs. Black, Brown, Bnrns,
Cameron, Cone, Bates, Erwin, Griffin,
Heard, Hicks, Hillver, Hinton, Hoyle,
Jervis, Jordan, Kirkland, Kibbee, Letter,
Matthews, McWhorter, Nicholls, Nun-
nally, Fcddy, Reese, Richardson, Sim-
Mr. Nicholls moved to amend that no House bill to incorporate the ,Steam | To create Commissioners for McIntosh
one shall be eligible to the office of Judge Road Wagon Company of Oeorgii. Read county, to define their powers, etc.;
of said Court who is not a licensed attor
ney.
Mr. Burns favored the bill as report d,
and thought the suggestion, to refer the
question to the grand juries, a good one.
He considered the Court provided for by
the bill, the beet that oonld be deviaea,
and would save, every year, thousands of
doll in to the State, .
Mr. Brown insisted on Senators being
allowed to exempt their own counties if
desired. The people he reoneented did
not desire this Court, ana he was not
willing to leave the matter to the‘grand
jury, which often did not really repreeent
public sentiment.
Mr. Simmons moved that when the
Senate adjourn, it Shall adjourn until
3 o’clock. Carried.
Pending the disonaaion of the bill, the
hour of adjournment having arrived, the
Senate adjourned nntil 3 p. m.

Mr. Reese oppose
the ground that the
and to report
it’s January adjourned term,
Mr. Goldsmith said there are about
$7000 worth of these claims, and they
ouffht to be investigated before any ap
propriation is made to moet them.
Messrs. Rawls, W. D. Anderson, and
Riley oould see no use in hunting up
claims, and they were not new, but have
been up before, and some of them prob
ably settled. The motion to reconsider
prevailed.
Tho rules were suspended and tho fol
lowing Senate bills were read the third
time:
Bill to repeal the act of 1870, changing
the time for the annual session of the
Legislature; passed.
Bill to repeal the usury lows of this
State, and to fix the rate of interest,
when no amount is specified, at 7 per
cent, per annum.
Mr. W. D. Anderson moved to post
pone indefinitely.
Mr. Simmons, of Gwinnett, favored
the passage of the bill as a measure gen
erally desired by the people. He coul J
see no reason in preventing money from
bringing as much in proportion as other
articles of value. Honest men do not
avail themselves of the usury law, and,
in fact, the poorer classes of the people
would be benefited by this law, and it
would tend to encourage an influx of
money.
Mr. Bush favored tbe bill, and wanted,
all persons to be made to stand up to
their contracts, and argued that the Leg
islature had just as well say that no per
son shall give more than $25 for a mule,
as to say no man shall pay more than 7
per oent. for money.
Mr. W. D. Anderson said money was
always on hand when commodities are to
be transported, when articles of value
are for sole. It is a medium of exchange
and will be forthcoming when the actual
demands of trade and oommeros demand
it We do not want more money leaders
to come among us, for pecuniary misfor
tune is generally the (ate of borrowers at
high rates.
Mr. Bacon favored the bill and said
that usury laws have oeen founded upon
the erroneous idea that Government can
regulate commerce and trade. The
law as it stands is a dead letter, for ita
violation is of daily occurrence. Now, if
it were repealed, it would tend to make
money cheaper by bringing persons, oth
er than sharpen and usurere, in competi
tion as lenders. .
Mr. Cummfng favored the bill Rod
could Me no reason why 7 per eent should
here been fixed upon. Why not ray 3 or
10 or why not any that money U worth
«hat it will bring? But u thi. l.w of
per oect. has been of such long standing;
be wm willing to make a compromise and
allow the rate to be fixed at 10 per cent,
but he was really opposed to any restric
tion, believing that the idea of usury laws
woe foonded in superrtition. .
Mr. Jackson favored the passage of
the bill, urging many reasons therefor.
Friday's tisanoN, Deo. 1, 1871.
House met—Speaker Smith in tbe
chair. Prayer by tbe Chaplain. Jour
nal approved. 7,
On motion of Mr Pierce, tilt pnlos
were suspended, and a number of House
bills were read the seoond time.
On motion of Mr. Bush, the rules were
further suspended, end tho bill to incor
porate the town of Colquitt was taken
np and passed.
A bid to appropriate 82,000 for the
heirs of tbe late Colonel W. Sheftoli of
Savannah, a revolutionary offioer, in fall
satisfaction, for • jurt claim against the
State of Georgia; a bill to raise
revenue for the euppM of tho Govern
ment for the year 1M7X
The Unfinished business of yesterday,
to-wit: the bill to repeal the usury laws,
was resumed.
Mr. Soott said the matter is one of
lireakpablio interest and should be oare-
I ally considered, Aw%y hook in the his
tory of th* past, under the Mosaic law,
it was considered disreputable to charge
any ns ary or interest, for the two words
were identical in meaning then. Subse
quently, however, the various civilized
nations allowed and ooantenanoed inter
rat, but were careful to limit it This
plan of allowing and limiting interest has
been adopted and used in oar own State
for yean past, and while he favors pro
gression, yet he is unwilling to on! .oose
MmoM and tried landmarks, anil -launch
oat into the uncertainty of this experi
ment It is said that other nations have
tried the repeal of usary laws and found
A beneficial; bnt even if true, it does not
follow that such would be the reenlt here,
for our laws, government and people are
differently constituted.
Mr. Soott gave several examples of the
disastrous effects, in other States, from
the repeal of the usury laws, and argued
that we should not make an experiment
with very great ohanoes that oar people
will have deep cause to regret it.
Mr. MoMillan opposed tlie repeal of
the nsary law, remarixing that interest,
when not regulated by law, is regula
ted by the risk incased by the
lender. When property is plentiful
sod individual credit is good the rates
are low, bat when large homestead pro
visions are of force and imfkisonment for
debt is oontrary to law, tat risks to tho
lender are great, and high rotes for the
use of borrowed money oor natural con-
aequencee. These latte* circumstances
surround onr people, and high rates are,
of oonrae, the order, and.a repeal of the
usury law would not mead the matter
unless some law oonld be passed to com
pel borrowers to pay and to let lenders
feel that they are safe in leading.
Mr. Pou favored the passage of the
bill, and could see no sonse in telling a
man who owns 810,000 that ha shall not
have more than 8l00 for it dnrin
year; but allowing him wk‘* UT '®r -^
Min. in hvinfcnnJ and got 82000
for ita me during the same time. The
law as it stands is a dead letter and
ought not to stand, when 999 men out
of every thousand are compelled to vio
late the law when they lend money.
Mr. Bichards culled the previous ques
tion; call sustained.
On the motion to indefinitely postpone,
the yeas and nays were culled for, with

Messrs. Gumming, Pierce and Bacon
opposed his motion, and argued that the

allow disposition of real estate in such
manner as would oontravone the polioy

cash; a confirm vu sent home and the
body placed in it, Tbe widewer hod
agreed to get his landlord to guarantee
the balance of the expanse, bat he failed
to do so, the undertaker refused to cpm-
plete hi* contraot; and the oorpee and
coffin were aatnally left for eight day* til
the poor man’s only roam.. Being in
formed of the scandal, Mr. Flower*, a
magistrate, sent forth* undertaker, who
still declined to buy the body sutim*
paid the balance in odvanee; so “tat, the
