Mr. Beeee offered a resolution that if, any oonteet Shall arise between the per son elected to fill the unexpired term of Rufus B. Bullock and the Hon. Benja min Conley, exercising the dutiea of Gov ernor, or between any other person and Hon. Benjamin Conley, in regard to|such office, that such contest shall be referred to the legal tribunals of the State, the decision of which shall be conclusive and shall be respected and obeyed by the people of tins State; adopted. Bills on first reading: By Mr. Simmons—To allow the town of Forsyth to issue bonds to purchase the Monroe Female Institute and the Hilljer Male Institute. My Mr. Nicholls—To change tho time of holding the Fall term of Lee Superior Court; also, to change the time of hold ing the Superior Court of the Brunswiok Circuit.

Vr Hinton—to make the employment of tny servant whatever during the term in which said servant may have been employed, a misdemeanor. 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.

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.

Le»veofftl»e»ee Candler and Jones. 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.

Gumming, Pierce and Bacon opposed his motion, and argued that the law would be of no utility or else would allow disposition of real estate in such manner as would oontravone the polioy of this State. Mr. Simmons, of Gwinnett, moved to indefinitely postpone the kill. This mo tion prevailed. To incorporate the Macon and Knox ville Railroad Company; paused. To incorporate the town of Reeaoa; passed.

To make it penal for employer or em ployee to break a contract for labor or service, was read 3d time. Mr. Pou favored the bill, urging that it operated equally upon all parties, and tended to make contracts more effectual and reliable. Mr. Griffin, of Houston, opposed the bill, urging that no legislation was neoes- sary, and would be oppressive, and would retard immigration. Mr. Johnson, of Clay called ihe pre vious question. Tho call wus sustained. On the motion to indefinitely postpone the yeas and nays were celled for, with the following result: Yews, 88; nays, 05.

A poor brick-layer who had the misfortune to lose hie wife, contracted with an undertaker for a £4 funeral. To ward this sum he paid £118 shillings in 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 Court called » a parish offloer to, com plete the interment—a parish faheral being just whst the unfortunate brick layer dreaded. The Laukm Mtgrmph remarks that if the Tuneral expeillel h*S been about one-half leas, there would have been no trouble and’no pauper obsequies.
