Bat it has finally been resolved to make a contest; and James Atkins, of Atlanta, lias received the Republican nomination. Mr. Atkins is a native of Georgia, a stannch friend of the Union danse the war, and a as an of talent and integrity. He was the ltepublican can didate for Congress in lHGd, in a strong Democratic district, and, tbongh defeat ed, received a flattering vote. He ft in thorough sympathy with the Republican Party of the nation. In State matters, he hsa been clear of all connection with the transactions that have brought dis credit upon the late ltepublican Admin istration. The Republicans of Georgia have done wisely in selecting such a man for their candidate, and It is to be hoped that they will give him a warm support. His competitor, Mr. Smith, of Cplum- bue, was a Confederate Colonel, and a member of the last Confederate Con gress; and is now the Speaker of the Rep- resealeUvo branch at the Legislature. Those Georgians who love the Confcde- "r;: will vote for him; those who love The Ring Marten of this _ shameful wU1 Tote , or Mr AtkiDs . FOE GOVERNOR: H# JAMES M.

At first rnauy of the Itepublioaus were (disinclined to mske the contest, preferring to leave the field to the exclu sive occupation of the Democrats, who hsve determined upon an election under A VERY STRANGE JUDICIAL PROCEEDING. Extraordinary Conduct Judge. The Quitman Banner of the 8th De cember, published at Quitman, Brooks oounty, Georgia, coutsins the following, which appears to us os one of the most extraordinary chapters in the history of jurisprudence in this State Th* Jiatpsty IIBaiter CdH-Tha Death ■entenre Commuted by Judge Alexan der. The trial of Jimpaey A. Hunter is fa miliar to the readers of the Banner. Af the November term, 1870, of Brooks Hu perior Court, Hunter was arraigned be- furs a jury of hit country men, charged with the murder of Thomae M. Alexan der. He plead “not guilty" to the charge, and after a thorough investigation of all the facts in the case, occupying the en tire time of the Court for several days, and ingenious and eloquent arguments, pro and eon , by aeverul distinguished • gtartlnuenrol the bar, the jury, after a tnat upper- [, r ; e f absence of two hoars, rendered a We say, therefore, to our readers, “put yourself in W place, h and answer, what would yon do I IT Vo partus the oourse tbs Lsgis- 1 Stare hss pursued will ruin the credit of the Stats, ws guy, in God's name let it be rutUtaL' Herb a credit la worse than nag- leas; it incites to crime. “ F/dTjettiSfl, tl cerium mat," IIwb. Jstart M. halth. The Augusta Cumdilmtiomitist of the 10th inst., says: .,WWBa»£S!5U. as the Democratic nominee for Governor at th* uproaching apeoial election. The unanimity which prevailed In the uomi convention is an additional avi- see af the high character of Mr. nth, awd el tke esteem in which ha' to held. It is a moat marked and unusual eomnlimeuk where them vers so many wormy and able men, from the list of whom the convention might hsve selected s naihtalr without making a nue-oke. It ia an gnapietoua sign at harmony, and of prudent and wise purposes in the fu- V go*du°‘ of our Slate affairs. An overwhelming majority in the Legis lators believed that the Constitution of the StateseaattsMd especial election, and that it was politic to hold it An ov*rwli!gtaiag4ta]aritytn the tiewmat- ing oonvenbon, amounting virtually to a uaammaaa vota,Aaataae that Jamm M.

Ik Alexander sentenced the prisoner i to be exeehtad, by hanging, on Friday, tha 117th day of January, 1871. The ex Motion of the sentence was stayed, how ever, by a motion for a new trial, which, being Valued by Judge Alexander, carried to the Supreme Court That tri bunal thoroughly reviewed the esse at tha July tarn, 1871, and unanimously sus taining Ule rulings of the Superior Court, refused the motion tar a now trial. These proceedings necessitated the reaentence of the prisoner, and for that purpose he was brought into Court, on a writ of habeai carpus, an lost Saturday morning; when, to the surprise of all our oilmens, Judge Alexander modified his mntenoe of twelve months previous, and sentenced Jimpaey A. Huntorto confine ment in the State Penitentiary, for, aud daring the rem -indor of his natural life. There is a difference of opiuiou among members of the bar, as to the legality of this sentence. By some it is contended, that after the entire cose had p-ased re view before the Supremo Court, the Su perior Court had nd longer discretion in the premises—and, therefore, Judge Alexander arrogate/ the powers of the Executive of the S ate, in commuting the death aentenoe, (which had never been revoked), to imprisonment. It is sontanded that tbs death teuteace has been hanging over tha prisoner daring the pest twelve months, and the eMcution of said aentenoe was ail that had been stayed; and tharsfora the sole duty de volving upon Judge Alexander, was to deeiguate a tiny on wbioh the aentenoe, already pranouuceil should be executed. Aa to the merits of the arguments, we do not pretend to give an opinion; and make reference to the matter merely from the fact that gnat indignation prevails throughout the oounty on amount of the unexpected leniency extruded to the un fortuuato prisoner, Jimpaey A. Hunter. It is well enough to slate that the ex praraion ot indignation referred to is not directed towards the primmer; nor is there any disposition manifested on the pert of the people to resort to mob vio lence. Anything of tlintcbaractcr would be fiowned down. The populace would not illegally injures hair of the prisoner's bead. The expression of indignation is directed at tke Court. One week ago Judo* Alexander had the respect and oonfldsnce of etir entire population; he has forfeited it by furnishing evidence that he lacks the first great requisite for a Judge—firmness and decision of char- iter. We have been told that Hon. James L. Seward, who was the leading counsel for Heater at tin trial, mads a personal nation to Governor Bollock for pardon nr clomeney to the prisoner, but eras refused. We are in that Chief Jastioe Loehimno eta ted to Col.

On motion of Mr. Jones, the House resolution that ia the opinion of the General Assembly this day is required to ooupUto the number of days prescribed by the Constitution us the length of the session, which was tabled this morning, was token np. After a short diseussiou, the veto being taken an uoucurring in the resolutions, stood—ayes, Messrs. Cameron, Coleman, Crayton, Estoa, Heard, Ilicks. Hillyer, Hinton, Jervis, Junes, Jordan, Kibbee, Matthews, Red dy, Reese and Simmons—10; nays, Messrs, lAudeVSon, Bruton, Burns, Er win, Griffin, Kirkland, Smith and Well- tarn—8. The President, by permission, voted no. Mr. Bums gave nolics of a motion to reconsider. Mr. Kilibco moved to transmit tho res olutiou ut once to the House, lie said the resolution is ono of ponce and ac crediting to tho Executive integrity of intent; it is wrong to so place this reso lution that the purpose of the Senate, in adhering to it, may be coiled iu question. Whilst we expect uud demand fair deal ing Ifrom the Executive, we should be equally willing to act fairly and in good faith with him, and the unwillingness to transmit the resolution would be con strued unfavorably. Mr. Burns forcilily opposed the mo tion to transmit. He wished he could agree with the majority, but he believed this resolution to be a trick, and would g ooe a lever in the hand of the acting xeout.ve that would be surely and se verely felt by this General Assembly. To Mr. Hinton the resolution* pre sented s mere question of law, which he must decide in the affirmative, if the rsaolution expresses tho truth, can it do any harm, even though we indorse it un der suspicious circumstances. Gentle men would hsve us believe that the adoption of this resolution would be re ceding from our action of Haturilay. Not ut all. Tke aotion deosnds alto gether upon different principles, and in no manner conflict. He believes the ex tension of the session legal and right, and intended (to stand by it forever, though the heavens fall. Mr. Hniitk changed his vote by per mission.

Mr. Burns offered a resolution that it is the seuss of the General Assembly that paragraph 3, section 1, article 1, of the Constitution, relating to prolongation of sessions of the General Assembly that a vote of this General Assembly upon prolongation ia not subject to revision by the Executive. The resolution was adopt ed, and on motion transmitted to the House.
