Jenkins, in the ohair. < TBB IBFBBIOB OOtTBTB lOAIN. After the reading of the jonrnal of yes terday's proceedings, Mr. MeDonald, of the Fifth Distriot, moved to reconsider the aotion of (he Convention yesterday in agreeing to section first of the article on the Jndioiery in order to add Inferior Coarts to the other ooarts named. He said the people of the State all wanted to have the Interior Courts re-established, and snob a feature in the Constitution would cause them to tum out strongly and vote for ratification. MR Davis, of tlie Tenth Distriot, op posed the motion to reconsider. He said that as the County Ooarts now have uni form jurisdiction, there was no use intro ducing heterogeneous tribunals in some oountiee. The motion to reconsider was laid on the table. DISQOALU iOATIOM OF JUDQBS. Mr. Brown, of the Thirty-ninth Dis triot, moved to reoonsider paragraph second of section one adopted yesterday as fotlowB: Par. II. When a majority of the Judges are disqualified from deciding any esse, by interest or otherwise, the Governor shall designate Judges of the Superior Ooarts to sit in their steed. Mr. Brown said be made the motion in order that an amendment prepared by Mr. Mynatt migl- ) be offered and adopted. Mr. Mynatt, of the Thirty-fifth Dis trict, offered an amendment substituting the word “one or more" for “a majority" in line one, and the Words “for any other reason cannot preside” after the word “otherwise” in line three. The amend ment was adopted. JUBOBS WHO HAVI BOBBS. Mr. Hammond (N. J.), of the Thirty- fifth Distriot, moved to reoonsider the paragraph offered by Mr. Wright yes terday and adopted, wbioh read as fol lows: Bo Judge of the Supreme Court or of any aourts in this State shall - preside in any osse affecting the validity or any materiel interest arising out of any bonds, Federal, State, corporation or mu nicipal, who holds in bis own right, or as the representative of others, any of the olaaa of bonds upon wbioh the question to be decided arises. Mr. Hammond Bsid that if the Convens tion wished to retain the sentiment of the paragraph, it should > be reconsidered in order that it might be perfected gram matically. If they did not wish to retain the sentiment of course the paragraph should be reconsidered. Mr. Davie, of the Tenth Distriot, wished to know why the bolding of bonds should be seteoted specially as a disqualification. He thought that only general laws should be incorporated into the Constitution by the Convention. Mr. Wright, of the Forty-second Dis triot, opposed the motion to reoonsider. The paragraph was not likely to be mis understood, and as it stood would effeot the object Jor wbioh it wae introduced sufficiently well. The motion to reoonsider was lost. SALS OF THE STATE'S HULBOABS. The report of the committee on the sale of the railroads belonging to the State was the special order for the day, but the President ruled' that unfinished business took preoedatioe of the special order, and the unfinished business was the consider ation of the report of the Committee of Final Bevision on the Jndioial Depart ment. HOMESTEAD ABB FINANCE. Mr. Toombs, of the Twenty-ninth Dis triot, chairmen of the Committee of Fi nal Revision, submitted the following re port on Homestead end Exemption: Section I.

But appointments to fill vacancies shell only be for tbe unexpired term. On motion, the consideration of thie paragraph was postponed for the preeent. Paragnpba fohr, five end six were reed, es follows: Per. IV. The Supreme Court shall have no origin*! jurisdiction, but shall' be e Court alone for the trial and correction of errors Horn tbe Superior Courts, and from the City Coarts of Savannah and Atlanta, and snob other like Courts as may bs hereafter eatabliahed in other eitiee, and ehsll sit at the scat of Government at suoh times, in each year, as shall be pre scribed by law, for the trial and determi nation of writs of error from said Snpe* riot and City Ooarts. Par. V. The Supreme Court ehell die- pose of every oese at the first or second term after each writ of error is brought; and in case the plaintiff in error ehell not be prepared at the first term to prosecute the esse, unless prevented by providen tial cause, it shell be strioken from the dooket, and the judgment below aboil stand affirmed. Par. VI. In any oise tbe Ooart may, in its discretion, withhold the judgment nntil tbe next term after the seme is ar gued. They were agreed to without amend ment. Paragraph seven was read as follows: Par. VII. When tbe Judges presiding in BDy case are equally divided in opinion, the judgment below shall stand affirmed. On motion, this paragraph was strioken oat. The third section was taken np and the first end second paragraphs agreed to aa follows: Section III.—Paragraph I. There shall bo a Judge of tho Superior Court tor each Judicial Oirouit, whose term of office shall be four years, or until bis suc cessor is qualified. Par. H. He may sot in other oirouits when authorized by law. Paragraph third was read u follows : Par. III. The suooeBaors to the present iuaumbeuta ehsll be appointed aa their commissions expire: Provided, That none of them ehsll hold longer than the due of tbe year 1880. On motion, the consideration of this paragraph was postponed for the present. Paragraph one of seotion four was agreed to as follows ; Section IV. Paragraph I. The Superior Courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction in oaacs of divoroe; in oriminal oases, where the offender is subjeot to loss of life, or confinement in the penitentisry; in oases respecting titles to land, and equity esses. Paragraph two was read as follows: Par. II. The General Assembly may aonfer upon the Oourls of oommon law power to grant equitable relief, Mr. Ingram, of the Twenty-fourth Dis triot, moved to amend by supplementing after Ihe word “law," the words “ell tbe powers heretofore exeroised by Courts of Equity in tbiB State.” The amendment was adopted, end the paragraph agreed to aa amended. Paragraph three was read, aa follows : Per. III. Said Courts shall have juris diction in all other oivil oases, except as hereinafter provided.' Mr. Hawkins, of the Forty-seaond Distriot, moved to amend by striking ont the word “other.” The amendment was adopted, and the paragraph agreed to as amended. Paragraphs four and five were agreed to withont amendment, as follows : Par. IV, They shall have appelate jarisdiotion in all snoh oases os may be provided by law. Par. V. They shall have power to cor- reot errors in inferior jarisdiotories, by writ of certiorari, which shall only issne on the sanotion of the Judge ; end said Courts, and tho Judges thereof, shall have power to issne writs of mandamus, pro hibition, soire facias, end all other writs that may be neaeasary for carrying their powers tally into effeot, and shall have snob other powers aa are, or may be, con ferred on them by law. Paragraph six was read: Par. VI. Tho General Assembly may provide for an appeal from one jury in the Superior and City Courts to another, and the Bald Coarts may grant new trials on legal grounds. Mr. Harrell, of the Twelfth Distriot, moved to amend by striking ont the first danse. He eaid that appeals from one jnry to another only delayed the business of the Ooarts. In all oivil oases the jnries were judges of the faot end the Judges of the law. If the Jndge should moke a mistake aa to the law, the Su preme Court will oorreot him. He failed to see the use of submitting ths same case twiee to the same tribunal. Tbe amendment was laid on the table, and the paragraph was agreed to, withont amendment. Paragraph seven was read: Par. VII. The Court shall render judg ment without the verdiot of a jnry, in all oivil oases fonnded on unconditional con tracts in writing, where an issnable de fense is not filed. Mr. lteeee (W. M.), of the Twenty- ninth Distriot, moved to amend by adding “under oath" to the paragraph. He said it was no hardship to make every man swear to what he brings before a ooart. Mr. Fsee, of the Twenty-Seventh Dis triot, moved to amend by adding tbe ‘ inn *' words “oath or solemn affirmation. Mr. Reese aooepted this amendment. Mr. Cain, of the Eighteenth Distriot, moved to amend by adding “which de fense may be filed at the first or any sub sequent term of the ooart.” This amend ment was lost. Mr. DaBose, of the Twentieth Distriot, opposed the adoption of Mr. Reeae'e amendment. Ho said there were some defendants who, feeling that they did not have a good defense, did not wish to swear to its trath. tie tboaght that this oath business was often a nuisance. There was too maoh swearing done in Georgia anyhow. Mr. Ingram, of the Twenty-fonrtb Dis triot, said he thought there was no more reason why the defendant shonJd bs made to swear to the trath of bis oasa than there was why the plaintiff ahonld not be made to swear to bis. Mr. Brown, of the Thirty-ninth Dis triot, said he thought if the defendant did not have a good enough cose for him to swear to there was no ase in delaying tbe eonrt to consider it. He tbonght Mr. Reese's amendment a good one, end hoped Ihe Convention would adopt it. The amendment was adopted, and the paragraph as amended agreed to. Paragraph eight was adopted, as fol lows ; Par. VIII. The Superior Courts shall ait in eaoh oonnty not less then twice in each year, at each times as have been, or may be, appointed by law. Mr. Willis, of the Twenty-fifth District, offered tbe following as an additional paragraph: The General Assembly may provide by lew for some proper person to preside in ell cases where the presiding jndge is dis- qnalified. The paragraph was agreed to. Seotion fifth was agreed to, as follows : Section V.—Paragraph I. In any oonn ty within whioh there is, or hereafter may be, a City Court, the .lndge of said Court, and of the Superior Court, may preside in ihe OourtB of eaoh other, in oaBes where the Jndge of either Court is disqualified to preside. Seotion six, paragraph first, was read : Section VI.—Paragraph I. The powers of n Court of Ordinary and of Probata shall bo vested in an Ordinary for each oonnty, from whose decision there may be the words “or by oonaent of tbs parties without a decision." The amendment was adopted, and the paragraph agreed to aa amended. Paragraph second was road : Pab. II. The Courts of Ordinary ihall have snoh powers in relation to roads, bridgee, ferries, pubiio buildings, paupers, county officers, county fundi end oonnty taxes, and other oonnty matters, os may be conferred on them by law. Mr. Boas, of the Forty-oeeond Distriot, moved to amend by adding after the word! “Ordinary,” in the flnt line, tbe words “Oonnty Commissioners, where snoh exist.” Hr. CoUier, of the Thirty-fifth Distriot, ■old he thought the amendment woe un necessary. where no Oonnty Commis sioners exist the statute lew now confers upon the Ordinary the powers enumerated in the paragraph. Mr. Hammond (N. J.), of the Thirty- fifth Distriot, said he thought the amend ment was oat of plaos. He thought the Convention ahonld not aonfuss the power of the Ordinary with the power of any other tribunal. After some debate Mr. Boos’ amendment was laid ' on the table end the paragraph was agreed to. Paragraph third waa read: Per. III. The Ordinary shall hold hia office for the term of four years, and nn til hia snooessor is eleoted and qualified. Mr.' Underwood, of the Forty-aeeond Distriot, moved to amend by making the Ordinary’s term of offioe two years in stead of fonr. The amendment was laid on the table by a vote of U3 ayes to 85 nays, and the paragraph, anamended, was agreed to. Paragraph first, section raven, was read : Section VII—Paragraph I. Thera shall be in eaoh district one Jnatioe of the Peace, whose official term, except wheu •elected to fill an unexpired term, shell be fonr years. Mr. Trammell, of tbe Forty-third Dis triot, moved to amend by ineeriing in line two the word “militia” before tbe word “distriot.” The amendment was adopted and the paragraph, as amended, agreed to. Paragraph Beoand waa read : Par. II. The Justices of the Pesos ihall have jurisdiction in all oivil cues arising ex oontractu when the principal sum does not exoeed one hundred dollars, and obeli alt monthly at fixed times and places; bnt in all cases there may ba an appeal to a jury in said Ooart, nnder snoh regulations aa shell be prescribed by lew. Mr. Moore, of the Forty-third Distriot, moved fo emend by adding after the word "contractu," in line three, tbe words, “or in oau of trespass or other in jnry to per- Bonalty.” The amendment woe adopted, and the paragraph, aa amended, agreed to. Tbe remainder of section seven was adopted without amendment, os follows: Par. III. JnBtioes of the Peaoe shell bs eleoted by tbe legal voters in their respeo tive districts, and shall be commissioned by the Governor. Par. IV. They shall be removable on oonvioiion for malpractice in office. Paragraph first of seotion eight was read: Section VIII—Paragraph 1. Commis sioned Notaries Pnblio, not to exoeed one for eaoh militia distriot, may be appointed by tbe Judges of the Snperior Ooart in their respective oirenits, upon recommen dation of the grand juries of the several oonntiea. They shall be commissioned by tbe Governor for the term of fonr years, and shall be ex offlcio Jasttoes of tbe Peace. This paragraph was amended by enjoin- ing their removal from office in oase of malpractice, like JnstioeB of the Peace. Paragraph one of seotion nine was read: Seotion IX.—Paragraph I. The juris diction, powers, proceedings and praotioe of ell ooarts or offloera invested with jadl- dial powers-nf the same grade or olaea, so far aa regulated by lew and the fores and effeot of the process, judgment and de oree, by snoh aourts severally Bhall be uniform. Tbe uniformity must be estab lished by the first General Assembly eleoted under this Gonstitntion. Mr. Moore, of tbe Forty-third Dis triot, moved to insert after the word “Ooarts,” in line two, tbe words “exoept City Ooarts." Tbe amendment was adopted. Mr. Hammond (N. J.), of the Thirty, fifth Distriot, moved to amend farther by leaving out the word “first, ” in line eight, and all after the words “General Assembly." Tbe amendment was adopt ed, and tbe seotion, as amended, agreed to. Paragraph first of seotion ten was read: Seotion X.—Paragraph I. There shall be an Attorney General of the State, whose official term, except when appoint ed to fill an nnexpired term, shall be two years, but the present incumbent shall hold until tbe dose of 1880. Pending discussion on this paragraph, the Convention adjourned. STOCK KILLING. The people of Oobb oonnty have pre seated a memorial, asking the Convent tion to proteot them against the State Road killing their stook, whioh said road ia exempted by law from paying for. THE ATTOUNET GENERAL. The probabilities are that the office of Attorney-General will be abolished, tbe abolishment to take effeot after 1878.
