WEEK DAILY SUN. Morning November 2 THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA. Bull oclt. Heard From. A telegraphic dispatch from Washing ton to the Savannah News, of the 30th inst., says: Bollock arrived here early yesterday morning and had a long interview with Senator Cameron, during which bullock informed Cameron that he had re- cigned the position of Governor of Georgia into the liamirt of Benjamin Conley, the I'rcaideBt of the Dignified and Intelligent Body, That’s it! A long interview with Cam eron ! Trying to carry favor with Grant and tho Radical Faction, and be sent back here as Military Governor, so as to stop investigation into the conduct of him self and his accomplices in crime. That’s it. Bullock and Blodgett once stood high with Grant and the Radical Faction, bat somehow the President turned against them both. Bollock is now, no donbt, importuning the President and his friends for a restoration of confidence and material assistance in this hour of trial. We are sorry for Grant—bored and importuned, as he, no donbt, is, for a re establishment of friendly relations, and tho granting of material aid, by two such men as Bullock and Bard. Changed Time. Governor Bullock, in bis letter to John Scott, Chairman of the Kuklux Commit tee, denies tho right of the Committee or of Congress, in the manner proposed, to “interfere with or inquire into mat ters which are solely within the control and subject to the supervision of the people of this State in General Assembly met;” that Georgia “stands in the Union the peer of every other State,” and that information of her needs, requirements and condition, will be made known and presented to Congress by her representa tives, and denies that there is anything in the fact of her late insurrectionary condition, which would authorize Con gress to order proceedings towards her which would not apply to all the States, He also “most positively dissents' from the “construction” that the late ■amendments have so extended the powers of Congress, as to give it “ absolute con irol” over such functions as purely ap pertain to the States, and that any at tempt to go beyond certain limits, with the " hope of obtaining political power, will meet with a “swift rebuke from an overwhelming majority of American citi zens;” and declares emphatically that the State of Georgia does not “ deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” He gees ou to quote Mr. Jefferson in flaming capitals, where that immortal statesman urges “THE SUPPORT OF THE STATE GOVERNMENTS IN ATT. THEIR RIGHTS AS THE MOST COMPETENT ADMINISTRATION FOR ALL OUR DOMESTIC CONCERNS AND THE SUREST BULWARKS AGAINST AN TI-REPUBLICAN TENDENCIES.’ The present tune is a considerable change on the part of Rufus.

He has proclaimed and ordered the proclama tion business to cease—so far as their ex tensive and useless publication is con cerned—yet he is not happy. Inveitigatc H. I. Kimball. We want a committee of the Legisla ture to look carefully into Mr. Kimball’s transactions in selling and hypothecating the bonds of the State and its indorsed bonds; also, the whole of his transac tions in regard to the Brunswick and Albany Railroad. — ►-*-« Judge Cochrane. We learn that Judge Lochrune has, for some time past, intended resigning the Chief Justiceship, but finding that Bullock had vacated Ms office about the time his resignition was intended to take effect, he withdrew his letter requesting Gov. Bullock to accept the same, lest the step, at this time, might bo misconstrued, and has concluded to retain his position ior the present. II. I. Kimball's Property Attached. Sheriff J. O. Harris has, for some days past, been engaged in attaching the property of H. L and E. N. Kimball. The seizure has been made under an at tachment from Messrs. Hoyt A Jones, Brokers, for money loaned, amounting to about §5,000. To satisfy the attachment, Mr. Harris has taken possession of much of the’private property of the parties, con sisting of house and lot, carriage and horse, household and kitchen furni ture, etc. Yesterday was a memorable day in the history of Georgia—a day teeming with blessed associations and fond remem brances. It was a day around which will ever cluster memories grateful to every advocate of individual rights and every lover of geuuine American liberty, an inviolate birthright inherited by all true patriots from the immortal heroes of seventy-six. No startling event marred its serenity. No tumult, no insurrec tion, disturbed its tranqillity. It commemorates no strife, no conten tion, no revolution, no war. It records no treachery, no disloyalty, no dark de signs, no during intrigues, no foul con spiracies, no Machiavelian plot for the subversion of kingdoms or the corruption of kings. It was a day of promise. It promised succor to a down-trodden country. It promised relief to an oppressed and suf fering people. It was a day of tokens. It gave token of the return of the white- winged angel of peace, who, from the abomination of desolation, had winged her weary flight to unknown lands. It was the dawn of a new era in Georgia’s once spotless career, but recently blemished and polluted by contact with monsters of corruption, whose poisonous breath threatens a plague of vice, perfidy and infamous misrule among a people whose honor was once unimpeachable. It was the dawn of the day and time of peace, harmony, love, wisdom, justice, and that boon of earthly hopes, freedom, blessed freedom ! We were one of the multitude, yester daj f that assembled in and about the Capitol to witness the organization of the Legislature, Remembering the dis graceful spectacle attending the organiza tion of the House on last year, we deter mined to smother our yet living indig nation by witnessing in that body the proceedings of the valiant knight who fought under Wm. Wallace, but he possessed the candor of that veteran in pleading guilty to D. 0. and P. L. §5 and costs. MISS MATILDA STOKES, was one of the city minstrels.

Bullock, resigned. The provision quoted by this writer, which we have given above, applies solely to the mode and time of opening the returns in the regular quad rennial election of Governor, which is required by the same section to be held on the “Tuesday after the first Monday in November,” and does not apply to the case under discussion. He seems to insist that an organization of the two Houses must be had the day before the open- election, both Houses must effect ted to the President of the Senate and Speaker of the House of Representatives, and transmitted to the Governor, or the person exercising the duties of Governor for the time being, who shall, without opening the said returns, cause the same to be laid before the Senate, on the day after the two Houses “shallhave been organ ized > and [then] they shall be transmit ted by the Senate to “the House of Rep resentatives,” Ac. All this must take place before the members of the Senate and House can meet in the Hall of the latter and there open and publish the re turns of the election. But before the Gen eral Assembly which convokes this mom- Mg, can pass any law authorizing a special ing of the returns, as a condition prece dent to a valid election. This reasoning might have some force when applied to an election to fill an original or new term, at the regular time, but does not apply to an election to fill a vacancy caused by the “death, resignation or disability of the Governor,” any more than the pro- ^ Ihe Court having become a little sen- vision made by the same section as to the I election, and, on* the’ same day*The elec* timental at the recital of so much love ofbolcbn S election, viz: on the tion itself must be held aud the returns "m 1 Tuesday after the first Monday in No- Ul • •• ~ - ^ gamzation.

The chosen representatives of the State marched quietly in, and as quietly took their seats. We scrutinized the face of every member as they sat upon the floor, arrayed, as it were; for contest for rights of which they, by the most foul treachery, had beeu disinherited.— Nearly every countenance was serious with the responsibilities that awaited them. No anger, no passion, no con spiracy lurked in the flashing eyes of those champions of liberty. No revenge rankled in their hearts, which, burning with indignation at insults heaped upon an unoffending people, only yearned to vindicate their constituents, and restore to them those lights sacred and precious, yea. inviolate as life itself. It was an imposing, -intelligent, patri otic assembly. As we sat there, gazing upon tho array of the people’s vindica tors, we were carried back to the palmy days of the Republic, when Jefferson, Henry Clay, "Webster, aud Calhoun, with cimion voices, clamoured for the rights of the people. The spirits of those vet erans, guarded by the white-winged angel of peace, Hovered about them. Their ‘still small voices” whisper wise counsel and words of hope to our champions, and bid them God speed in their efforts to restore once more in spirit, in truth and in deed, “Wisdom, Justice, and Modera tion,” to our oppressed people. Tile Constitution Of yesterday, recommends the appoint ment of “able and honest citizens out side of the Legislature” to investigate the official conduct of the absconded Gover nor. Some few worthy gentlemen made the same suggestion to us, before Bullock fled—that of appointing an outside com mittee; but we are aware that the prime movers of this idea at first intended to head off an investigation by that means, and thus get tho Legislature to avoid the performance of a plain duty. To us there is an absurdity about the suggestion. The Legislature is the Grand Jury of the State, and the impro priety of a Grand Jury delegating its power, authority or duty to any persons outside of their own number, is manifest. There could be no objections to the able and honorable gentlemen whose names are suggested for tMs service, save that they are not members of the Legis lature. We trust the investigation will be thoroughly made by members of the General Assembly. and romance, and having some time to spore, besought us to repeat some “poul- tiy.

Tlie Reign of Terror in South Carolina. We publish, to-day, an important let ter from Mr. James E. Wilson, of York county, South Carolina, upon the state of things prevailing there, and vember. The power of providing for the exi gency of a vacancy caused by the “death, Ac.” of the Governor, is left to the General Assembly, to be provided for by a special election, under the 4th Article and 4th Section of the Constitu tion, which reads as follows: “In case of the death, resignation, or disability of the Governor, the President of the Senate shat exercise the Executive powers of the Governmen until such disability be removed, or a successor ist I elected and qualified; and, iu case of the death, resignation, or disability of the President of the u*™ 8 ’ * be ®P ei ^ er of the House of Representatives shall exercise the Executive powers of the Govern ment until tho removal of the disability, or the elec tion and qualification of a Governor. The General Assembly shall have power to provide bo law for fillina unexpxred terms by a special election." J 9 thereof made to the Senate ! Of course, this is impossible ; and before the next General Assembly shall convene and or ganize, the unexpired term will have passed. These are some of the legal points in the way of a special election to be had under and by the authority of the Legis lative body which assembles ■ this morn- ? r 8" ni2a tion > and, in view of - the difficulties here presented, we don’t very well see how a special election can be had m time to meet the exigencies which de maud it. — .

But he may have his say speedily. We would not prejudge. Cau there be a Special Election for Governor 1 Day before yesterday *the New Era had an editorial article presenting what its author, no doubt, regarded as an insu perable difficulty in the way of the Leg islature providing a successor to Gov. Bullock, because the Constitution re quires that the returns of the election for a Governor shall be handed to the Legisla ture at its next meeting after such elec tion, the day after the two Houses shall have organized, Ac. The following very clear and satisfac tory exposition of the Constitution on this question, shows how stupid the wri ter of that article in the Era was, who is so much pleased with it, that it was re produced as the leading editorial in that paper yesterday. We lay it before our readers elsewhere to-day, that they may judge of its merits after reading the fol lowing from our correspondent: Editors of the Atlanta Daily Sun.- You will please allow space in your paper to notice an article in yesterday’s Era, headed “TheVacant Chair of State— Can There Be a Special Election ?” which article also please insert with this reply to it. The second clause of the second Sec tion of Article IV of the Constitution of Georgia provides that “ The returns for e 7 e J7 1 electl ,°° of Governor, after the first, shall be sealed up by the managers, sepa rately from ouher returns, and directed to Me President of the Senate and Speaker of the House of Kepresentatives. and transmitted to His Excellency the Governor, or the person exercising the duties of Governor for the time being, who shah, without opening the said re turn, cause the same to be laid before the Senate, on the day after the two Houses Erom the Atlanta New Era, 2d instant. Tlae Vacant Chair of State—-Can there be a Special Election? The Constitution of the State of Geor gia provides [Art. IV] that “in case of the death, resignation, or disability of the Governor, the President of the Senate shall exercise the Executive powers of the Government until such disability be removed, or a successor is elected and qualified.” The same article provides that “the General Assembly shall have power to provide by law for filling unex pired terms by a special election. ” The manner prescribed for the election of Governor, set forth in the second sec tion of the IVth Article, is that “After the first election” [under the New Con stitution, the election of 1868, for in stance,] “the Governor shall be elected quadrennially * * * on the Tues day after the first Monday in November, [unless the time is otherwise altered by law], which election shall be held at the places of holding general elections in the several counties of this State, in the same manner as is prescribed for the election of members of the General Assembly.” This is all plain sailing so far. * The General Assembly can order a "special election to fill the nnexpired term of Goy® f aor Bullock. But just here arises a difficulty that will apply in the present emergency. We allude to the second clause of the second section of Article iy, which provides that: “The returns of every election of Governor, after the first, shafl be sealed up by the Managers, separately from other returns, and dlrec- were presented by the Grand Jury at the July term of court may, upon trial, prove to be such. No sufficient evidence was before the jury, of the assembling of armed and masked bands at night! such as the Kuklux act forbids, although they spent several days in the investiga tion of rumors brought to their notice.
