the Executive of Georgia impugn the motives

• IheReeonttntetion Committee:
GExnxvtDj—I have read the letter of Gover
nor Bullock, of Georgia, to your Committee, in
reply to my statement, which was laid on the
table of the House and ordered to be printed, on
the 8d instant.
I am gratified to learn from Governor Bul
lock’s letter that he now, in effect, denies that
he has ever desired that “the civil government
of the State shall be destroyed, and military or
provisional government established" in Georgia.
But if this be true, he has been so unfortu
nate in the use of language as to deceive not
only myself, but nil others with whom I have
conversed upon the subject
In the answers which he quotes from his tes
timony before the Reconstruction Committee,
he virtually states that the* Legislature has not
adopted the “fundamental conditions required
to make Georgia a State,” and he refers to a
communication which be made to Congress.
That communication will be found on page 117
at the printed tegtiinoeiy. in which ha styles him-
self Provisional Governor, and states distinctly
that the government of Georgia is provisional.
He says: “Having, as Provisional Governor
elect under the reconstruction acta, been antbor-
izsd • • • t» convene the Provisional Leg
islature of Georgia; and having * • * been
appointed Provisional Governor of Georgia by

SPRING DRY GOODS,
fith. Gov. Bollock misquotes the Constitution
to show that negroes are eligible to the Legisla
ture in Georgia. Bessys: “The State Consti
tution distinctly provides that ‘all citizens of the
United States who have resided six months in
thin Ptatft, except id* 0 **, inBflnA peiSODS, and
those who have been convicted of felonies, shall
be eligible to bold office.’"
**#•**
Got. Bullock was a member of the Conven
tion which framed the Constitution, and is not
ignorant of its pro virions. I am, therefore,
compelled to believe that the above fabrication
was intended for deception. The fact is, there
is no such danse or declaration in the Constitu
tion of Georgia.
I suppose the following to be the article and
section of the Constitution of Georgia which
Governor Bollock intended to pervert:
Article 1 Sec. G. The General Assembly
may provide from time to time for the registra
tion of all electors ; but the following desses of
persons shall not be permitted to register, vote
or Isold office:
“First. Those who shall have been convicted
of treason, embezzlement of public funds, mal
feasance in office, crime punishable by law with
imprisonment in the penitentiary, or bribery.
‘‘Second. Idiots or insane persona.” a
There is no part of the Constitution which
declares who “shall bo eligible to hold office."

lock thinks I am mistaken. It may be so. I

Congress, to show the reasons which I had to
ohargu him in my “circalar” “with the avowed
purpose of inducing Congress to destroy the
present organized government of that State, and
remand her people to military rule, or the die-

riiHESK WINES have met with the most flatterim
X reception, receiving tho highest award ever mad
to American Wines.
A GOLD MEDAL.
JOHN G.SAXE, the Poet Writer.says: “Believ
ng, as I do. that the producer of a good, sound Amer
lean Wine to a benefactor to the country, I hare mac!
pleasure in commending the nemo of your lions
tatorahip of a provisional Governorand in
support of my “statement” to your committee,
that he“ asks thnt tho civil govemmentof the
State shall be destroyed, and a military or provi
sional government established."
What does' Governor Bullock mean in his
communication to Congress, in which ha styles
himself “Provisional Governor;” insists that
the reconstruction acts “have not been execu
ted ;” gtates that “the government of the States
has therefore, been, ami must oontiune to be,
provisional until” certain conditions are com
plied with; and calls on Congress to interfere ?
What doau lw mean when, in answer to Mr.
Brooks, aa to the “effect" of the policy which
he was thus urging upon Congress, he said:
“The same effect as the act of Congreas had
which declared the government of 1863 altogeth-
•T illegal.” • * • * * Again, in answer
to Mr. llemsn : * * “My view is that there
has not been yet anv legal organization of the
Legislature in Georgia." • • * * • •
The Government of Georgia is now, and has
been since July, 1868, operating as a legally or-
ganized civil government. Governor Bullock's
language conveys tho idea that he believes that
government to be illegal, and all its acts void;
that the government of Georgia is still provis
ional, ana that he desires Congress to enforce
his views.
Military or provisional government necessa
rily involves the destruction of the presept civil
government. The difference between military
and provisional government is. that a provi
sional government is the creature and instru
ment of military power; their edicts supersede
civil law, and are enforced by the army and
navy. “ I
But Gov. linllovk oowsaka, with the pathos
of injured innocence, “is there anything in this
answer of mine which asks that the civil govern
ment of the State shall be destroyed and military
or provisional government established ? Is there

men, and Democrats; bat what is more impor
tant is, that without the possibility of preconcert
they are in general agreement as to the facta,
and their veracity is tin impeached.
Governor Bullock says: “Lewis Jackson,
(colored) as I am reliably informed, denies, on
oath, ever having made any reply whatever to
the interrogations of Hon. Mr. Tift, and an
nounces the communication appearing in the
report of the Reconstruction Committee as com
ing from himself to the Hon. Mr. Tift to be a
forgery."
My circular was directed to the Judge of the
Court of Ordinary of McIntosh county, as to all
other enmities. I did not know who occupied
the place. I received through the mails, Mr.
Jackson’s answer, which is published on page
217 of the testimony on “the condition of af
fairs in Georgia.” The manuscript is in the
hands of the committee, and I have the envelope
in which it was reoeived. I shall adopt means
to ascertain the troth on this subject The tes
timony purporting to come from Mr. Jackson
agrees in substance with that of the Mayor of
Darien, Ga., Hon. S. AV. Wilson, printed on page
189 of the Georgia testimony.
In closing this review of Governor Bullock’s
letter, I confess with sorrow the humiliation I
feel in the necessity which makes it my duty as
a representative, to defend the people and the
State of Georgia against the slanders and mach
inations of her Governor. Whatever may have
been the motives which dictated his coarse, in
stead of acting as the guardian and defender of
her right8, her honor and her interests, as duty
and manhood required, he has been foremost
among her defamers, and the chief enemy of
her peace and prosperity.
Tho order and comparative prosperity which
now exist in Georgia are due to the wisdom,
moderation and forbearance of her people.
They believe that truth and justice will yet pre
vail, and their rights as a State in the Union be
recognized and respected.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
