THE TELEGRAPH.
THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH 18, 1869.
General Assembly of Georgia.
RETORTED SPECIALLY FOR THE MACON
DAILY TELEGRAPH.
Atlanta, Tuesday, March 16th.
Senate.—Mr. Harris entered a protest on the
part of fifteen Senators, -which they desired
spread on the Journal. It contained their senti
ments in regard to the passage of the bill ex
tending State aid to the Brunswick and Albany
Railroad Company.
The protest was ordered to bo spread cm tho
minutes.
The first business in order -was the purchase
of the new Opera House, upon which Mr. Hin
ton held the floor. He thought it better not to
consume the time of the Senate, ns there was a
great pressure of business upon both Houses,
and he, therefore, mored to lay the motion to
reconsider on tho table for the present.
The Chair decided that a motion to recon
sider should be acted on and could not get any
such direction as that proposed by the gentle
man.
Mr. Hinton then proceeded to sustain his
motion of reconsideration. There were several
features in connection with the motion which he
could not agree with. The simple proposition
discussed, yesterday, was that the house could
be bought for about $169,000, and there was
not one word said about furnishing boating and
lighting, which were in his opinion very im
portant items. He thoughtit folly to buy the
place just now and that it was time enough
when the time for which the city had contracted
had expired to think of purchasing any place.—
The finances of tho State were depleted, and
this surely could be no time for such action.
He hoped they would avail themselves of the
proportion of the city of Atlanta.
Mr. Candler agreed with the Senator in one
thing, and that was that farther discussion was
not necessary.
Mr. Hams would like to ask the gentleman if
they ought not to reconsider, if for no other
reason but the one that the city bad not fur
nished an Executive Mansion according to their
agreement.
Mr. Candler did not think that the purchase
contemplated would relieve Atlanta from any
obligation but the ten years furnishing of tho
capitoL The Mayor of the city war here, and
he so understood it. He did not agree with his
friend, Mr. Hinton, in his views upon the sub-
jeet of purchase. The reason he assigned in
opposition was that they had a capital for ten
years freo of expense. There was one thing cer
tain that at the end of that time they wonldnave
to purchase one, and ho was satisfied that they
could not then gat a building so cheap, and that
they would have to build a new one, which
would, before it was fit for nse, cost millions.
He moved to lay the motion to reoonsider on
the table.
The ysas and nays were called, when they
stood yeas 19—nays 17.
The motion prevailed.
Mr. Bums moved a reconsideration of the bill
bringing abont a settlement between the late and
present State Treasurers, and sustained his mo
tion in soznepithy remarks.
Ha said: That he was very loth to move a re
consideration, os that privilege had been here
tofore so grossly abused, but justice to an hon
est man—a man who, in defiance of Federal
bayonets, bad dared to stand by and protect the
interest that a confiding people had entrusted to
his keeping, demanded that this bill be recon
sidered. Will this Senate, out of partisan feel
ings, refuse to give one of Georgia’s best citi
zens a chance to show his hand and come to a
fair, honorable uetlement with the Stato, which
he waa so faithful to in the hour of her direst
extremity? What does this bill ask? Simply
that you authorize the Governor and require
him to carry out the settlement a special com
mittee of tho Senate and House made with Mr.
Jones, late Treasurer, at the last seaeion of the
General Assembly, which report waa adopted
without a dissenting voiee. What has been tho
action of the Finance Committee, out of a clear
misunderstanding of the law as laid down in the
Code (which never contemplated such a state
of affaire)? They have unanimously recom
mended that this bill do not pass, because the
Coda was sufficient, and said report or recom
mendation waa adopted.
Mr. Burns here read from the report of the
special committee, and commented at some
length upon the necessity of soma legislation in
settle, believing as I do that some legislation
waa necessary, and consequently unless this bill
or some other pass there will be no settlement of
this vexed question. Mr. Bums said he would
now close, but in the name of one of Georgia’s
best citizens, in the name of the State which
was deeply interested, did he ask that this bill
be reconsidered, and some action taken, some
bill passed that would settle this vexed ques
tion.
Mr. Candler thought it would be to the in
terest of the State to bring about this settlement,
and hoped the motion would prevail.
^Mr Nunnally had made greater efforts to
bring about a settlement in this case than any
other matter which has come before the Senate.
As much as he desired the settlement, he wanted
it effected according to law, and if Mr. Jones
had paid out one cent which the State justly
owed he would give his hearty support to the
legalizing it. It was doe to Mr. Jones that a
settlement should be had, but then he wanted
that settlement fixed on a proper basis and ac
cording to the law. TTp had as much confidence
in the integrity of Mr. Jones as any man in thei
The Constitution of Use country was overthrown,
and he was sorry that the people of the South
were willing to assist in it. "Where did this feel
ing come from to democrats. It originated in
a radical caucus. The gentlemen from Rich
mond had told the truth. They desired the
democratic party to support the cause. They
wanted to split that party.
Mr. Scott—I solemnly protest against the for
cible and fraudulent manner in which this ques
tion is thrust upon the House. The resolution
was not before the House properly. He object
ed to the resolution because it was a surrender
of bis manhood—because it divested the State
of its dearest rights—because itleads to consolida
tion—because it is an acknowledgment that there
was no State rights—because it would culminate
in the sentiment, that liberty was but the analy
sis of the blood of the brain—because it was a
degradation—because it was an everlasting in
famy on Georgia—because there was no need
for haste—because Democrats came up there
and called on the Governor to aid them—be
cause it was a trap set by the Radical party who
intended to clench the nail—you voted for uni-
8tato of Georgia, and he had seen how persis- vernal suffrage. They say "to us, you voted
tently that gentleman had endeavored to get a I to pot it in the Constitution.
order to effect tho settlement which seemed
to be desired by all parties.
Now does or did the Code anticipate such sn
event has really occurred? Was it ever con
templated that the military of the United States
would, by bayonets, take possession of the
Treasury of Georgia, and forcibly turn out her
legally elected and bonded officer? Who had
the manhood, bo it said to his credit, to nobly
stand by the rights of the State and people?
Did the Code ever oontemplate that two men
claiming to bo the Treasurer of Georgia, would
at the self-same moment be disbursing the pub
lic fands? A wayfaring man, though a fool,
oould not think that such was the case contem
plated by sections — of the Code which he here
read. Mr. Burns said it seemed to him that it
was a duty that the Senate owed to an honest
man to pass this bill. For more than six months
Mr. Jones, late Treasurer, has been knooking
at tho door of the State Government asking for
a settlement, and though the Gods was in force,
still no settlement has been made.
He held in his hand the report of the special
committee, which, as previously stated, had
boon unanimously adopted by tho General As
sembly. What does that report show? (He
then read the report) It appears from said
report that Mr. Jones was indebted to the State
of Georgia at the time of his removal in the
sum of $105,000. All of the above sum has been
accounted for ss interest paid to the bond
holders of the State, exoept $49,000, which was
advanced to civil officers, to the charity institu
tions, the penitentiary, and to contractors.
Now what are the facts in this latter case. It
is well known that owing to Congressional in
terference that there waa no legislature in 1867,
consequently there was no lawful appropriations
to meet the expenses of the Government for
1868. In this nilomina Governor Jenkins had
devised a plan to meet the crisis by calling upon
the Western and Atlantic Railroad to come for
ward and support the different Asylums and the
Penitentiary, and thereby relieve Mr. Jones, the
Treasurer, from the danger gf an illegal pay
ment.
This scheme, so wisely concocted, could not
be carried out without a careful arrangement of
the necessary vouchers, etc., which caused de-
Uy^rwi it became necessary for the Treasurer,
with the consent of the Governor, to oome for
ward and make advancements without author
ity of law, to Relieve tho Asylums of the Deaf
and Dumb, the Blind and the Lunatic, also the
Penitent iary: and some legislation is necessary
to legalize said payments, which would have to
be refunded by the Western and Atlantio Rail
road in a few days, had not the interference of
the military prevented.
Can any man have the audacity to rise here
and for one moment question the integrity of
purpose and untarnished honor of Charles J.
Jenkins and John Jones? Their very names
are synonyms of honor, and they will move on
through life honored and loved, and when life’s
fitful dream is over, it will be a pleasure for the
sous of the South who respect and honor those
who have done well their pert, to pay silent
homage at their graves.
Mr. Burns said that he was willing to accept
any amendment that would accomplish the much
desired object, to-wit: a settlement. *•
Mr. Jones, is very anxious for a settlement,
though he is not more interested than the State
of Georgia. Over $350,000 have been paid out
by him as interest on the State debt, and these
coupons have not been cancelled. Now, it is for
you to decide whether or not you will give him
a chance to come forward, have them cancelled,
or by blocking the door risk the chance of a
settlement never being affected, and leaving
you no remedy except to bring suit upon a bond
of $200,000, should theso coupons, by the death
of Mr. Jones or otherwise, get into the bonds of
other individuals. Senators, life is uncertain,
and Georgia is deeply interested in bringing
abont a settlement—so are the bondsmen of Air.
Jones and Mr. Jones himself.
Mr. Burns said he did not like to impugn
the motives of the Finance Committee, but he
would ask of the comnittee if in their opposi
tion to this bill, which was only upon the
grounds that it made the report of the Special
Committee a basis of settlement, had fulfilled
the requirements of low, and he read See. 182
of the Code which makes it the duty of the
Finance Committee to |examine the books of
the Treasurer and report if said office was prop
erly kept, and as there had been been no Leg
islature until the present one sinoe Mr. Jones
was removed from the office, it was the duty of
the committee to have examined the books and
papers of the late Treasurer and if. there was
any error in the report of the Special Commit
tee to have it corrected- This has not been
done, and Mr. Jones demands a settlement.
The Governor and Treasurer have refused -to
settlement.
Mr Lester spoke in favor of reconsideration.
Air. Harris moved to lay the motion on the
table.
On the motion of Mr. Harris the yeas and
nays were called and stood, yeas 16, nays 16.
The casting vote of the President in the affir
mative, laid the motion to reconsider on the ta
ble.
The special order being the reconsideration of
the action of the Senate an the fifteenth amend
ment to the Constitution of the United States,
Mr. Hungerford moved that it be taken up. He
wanted to see men oome up like men and either
pass it or vote it down. He was Mat hem by
his party to urge its psssags upon the Legisla
ture and he did not want to dodge it, and he
was satisfied there were many others who would
do the same if they did their doty.
Mr. Smith, of the 86th, rose to a point of or
der, inasmuch aa the special order of the day
had been discharged.
The Chair decided the Senator in order in ar
guing whether the special order should be taken
up or not.
Mr. Hnngerford said he saw a disposition on
the part of gentlemen to dodge the question in
every conceivable manner, and be moved to
make it the special order for next Christmas.
Mr. Borns amended by making it 25th day of
January, 1870, which was withdrawn.
Mr. Griffin C21stj moved to amend by appro
priating per diem and mileage for the members
to come to Atlanta at that time. Not in order.
The yeas and nays were called, when they stood
yeas, 12—nays, 18. The motion was lost
Mr. Morrell moved to postpone until to-mor
row at 3 p. M., which waa passed by a vote of
yeas, 17—nays, 8.
A bill establishing criminal courts in the sev
eral counties of the State was taken up, and a Com
mittee of conference was appointed to confer
with the House, that body having adhered to an
amendment struck out by the Senate. The com
mittee of conference were Griffin, (31st) Hol
combe and McWhorter.
The following bills were passed:
A hill to incorporate the Georgia Life Insur
ance Company.
A bill incorporating the town of Kingston.
A bill exempting from taxation, for five yearn,
all foreign and domestio capital invested in the
manufacture of cotton, wool or other fibrona ma
terial, etc., was under discussion, whan the hoar
of adjournment arrived.
The Senate adjourned.
House.—The House met.
A motion by Mr. Hooks to reconsider the ac
tion of the House in refusing to give the prin
cipal clerks extra pay was lost.
Mr. Tumlin moved to reconsider so much of
yesterdsy’s journal as relates to the loss of the
amendment allowing L. Carrington, awiatint
clerk of the House, $500 additional ccmpoasa-
tion, which motion prevailed.
Several amendments, giving to the clerks ex
tra pay, were voted down. '
On motion of Mr. Saussey, the Honse recon
sidered the bill to incorporate the People's In
surance and Banking Company.
A resolution by Mr. Saussey, requesting the
Senate to return to the Houro the bill to allow
the city Council of Savannah to use the jail
fond for the repaiirng of the jail was taken np
and adopted.
Mr. Grimes here arose to a point of order.
He claimed that when, on yesterday, the motion
to make the fifteenth article the special order
for this evening was read, he called for a di
vision on the motion and before a division had
been hud a motion to adjourn was put, and the
House adjourned. He, therefore, claimed that
the amendment was not legally made the special
order for this evening.
The Chair decided the point well taken.
Mr. Hall, of Glynn, appealed from the decis
ion of the Chair, upon which appeal the yeaa
and nays were required to bo recorded, and re
sulted in yeas, 41; nays, 78. So the decision
of the Speaker was not sustained.
A resolution to purchase the Rome Railroad
was laid on the table.
A bill tendering State aid to the Alabama and
Chattanooga Railroad, was passed.
The Honse adjourned.
EYENTKO SESSION.
House.—The fifteenth amendment being the
special order, it was taken up.
Mr. Ellis of Spending offered a resolution to
the effect that the amendment be ratified by the
Legislature of the State of Georgia.
Mr. Harrison offered a resolution prohibiting
any member from absenting himself from the
House until the amendment was acted on.
The Chair thought the resolution out of or
der. He did not see how it could be carried
out
Mr. Harper of Terrell, was going to do just
as he pleased, and so long as a quorum was pre
sent members could not be forced to a vote.
Mr. Scott wanted every member to vote on
the important question.
Mr. Haralson withdrew his motion as he saw
that men were inclined to dodge the matter.
Mr. Ellis proceeded to support his resolution.
Mr. Scott roee to a point of order. He showed
that the amendment could not be before the
House this evening.
The Chair decided the amendment properly
before the House.
Mr. Soott appealed from the decision of the
Chair, knowing at the same time that he oould
not do so with any success.
The decision of the Chair was sustained.
Mr. Grimes spoke very earnestly against the
passage of the amendment,on the ground that it
was in opposition to the principle of his party and
would lead to a subversion of the few rights
which yet remained to the State. "When that
amendment waa adopted the fate of Georgia was
fixed forever and the liberties of the past would
only exist in the memories and the minds of
men. He trusted for the sake of honor of pa
triotism that the Democrats of Georgia would
pause and think well before they voted for the
amendment.
Mr. O'Neil branded the conduct of the De
mocracy as sycophantic, and it had not the tree
ring oi Democracy abont it. He was glad they
were in such a position that they had to come
up and swallow the the thing whether they liked
it or not
Mr. Harper, of Terrell, supported the amend
ment.
Mr. Shumate, contended that the amendment
did not confer the right to hold office. He
would vote for it because he believed it was the
best thing he could do, and because he knew it
was a trick of the Republicans not to vote for it.
Mr. Anderson supported it because by doing
so they made themselves masters of the situa
tion.
Mr. Rawles said it was the Radical party that
had forced negro suffrage upon us, and they
(the Democrats) were going to turn it back up
on them, and he appealed to the negroes North
to take their stand side by side with Spoon But
ler. He thought, after having voted for the T AD IES desiring a perfect fit. neat work and styl-
„n.nd,n»ntk£d Lremat it. rooSneidoraHnn b-> -*-• >’ h outfits._w>U do well to sire me a call. My
Mr. Osgood called the previous question.
A division was called when the votes stood,
yeas 48; nays 53. The call for the previous
question was lost.
Mr. Warren—He was sorry that he and his
Democratic friends with whom he had so har
moniously worked, should differ now. By ac
cepting the present amendment they not only
yielded negro suffrage, but they surrendered
every right which belonged to a State. The
fourteenth article had been thrust upon the peo
ple as a finality, which they adopted; and now
here cranes another one which, if we do not
adopt, we will be thrown beck again into a ter
ritory.
Mr. Park, of Greene, supported the adoption
of the amendment He did not think it a sur
render of either manhood or privileges.
Mr. Smith, of Coffee, called the previous
question.
The yeas and nays were called on the passing
of the resolution of Mr. Elba, of 8paMing.
Mr. Scott rose to a point of order in behalf of
several members who entered their protest that
the Speaker had decided the vote without being
notified. .
The roll was then called and verified, and the
following is the vote:
Yeas—Anderson, Ayre, Belcher, Bethune,
BrasseB, Brewster, Carpenter of Hancock, Car-
son, Chambers, Clarke, Cloud, dower. Cun
ningham, Darnell, Davis, Donelson, Ellis of

Phillippe, Rosser, Saussey, Scroggins, Scott, of
Floyd, Sisson, Sorrell, Tumlin, Turnipaeed,
Walthall, Warren, Ware, Wikher, Wilcox,
Wilson—52.
Several points of order were raised by Mr.
Scott, Phillips and others, ons of which was
that the amendment had been declared passed
before the vote had been verified
The confusion and disorder was so great dn
ring the discussion and voting upon the amend-
ment, that it is impossible to give anything like
a correct report of what was being done.
Mr. Harper, of Terrell, was in the Chair and
he being in favor of the passage of the resolu
tion did business in a high-handed manner only
allowing privileges to those who agreed with him
and rapping down every opponent of the meas
ure. The fact that the amendment had been
announced by him as adopted arose from his
eagerness to cut off any opportunity which
might give members a chance of changing their
votes, and even Mr. McWhorter, the Speaker
el set, declares now that it was only on the
adoption of the resolution which was nothing
more than a substitute to another resolution by
the same gentlemen,that the vote was token and
that the amendment has not yet been voted
on. Bat the fist of the Chair has gone forth and
it only remains now for the lovers of justice to
protest against such conduct.
The House adjourned.

amendmentand against its reconsideration, he
would not say another word; but the duty of a
faithful Representative did not stop there. He
knew there were many members going to vote
••no. 'tvhi would ho very glad to see it pass,
but they were afraid of old leaders and newspa
per editors.
Mr. Tweedy said the Democrats had no right
to say that the Radical party was opposed to the
amendment. They were pledged to it, but they
were going to vote for it in their own way.
Mr. Morgan said he would not Jbe doing jus
tice to himself if he did not raise his voice
against the amendment. He asserted that the
right to vote carried with it the right to hold
office, and that had been decided by some of the
ablest lawyers tho country ever had.
Mr. Philips regarded this as one of the most
solemn events of his life. As he approached
the Capitol that evening he saw the stars and
stripes floating in the breeze. He was taught
by his father to honor them, and in consequence
of those teachings he opposed secession. He
spurned the Constitution of the country and
paid allegiance to that flag. But he was asked
to give up the rights of the States and to destroy
that flag. He was asked to destroy that flag
and to disregard the teachings of his fathers.

by correcting, wherever they cxi«t, such derange

One who feels tolerably well, often finds that a dose
of these fUU makes him feel decidedly better, from
their cleansing and renovating effect on the diges

Cough. Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumption.
Probably never before in the whole history of
medicine, has anything won so widely and so deeply
upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through a long
series of years, and among most of the races of

or the lungs and throat, hare made it known as a re

milder forms of disease and to young children, it is-

be kept on hand in every family, and indeed as all
are sometimes subject to colds and eonghe, all

over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that
the most obstinate of them yield to it. When noth-

cured by it.
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the

necessary to publish the certificates of them here
or do more than assure the public that its Qualities
are fully maintained.
