. A11 incident which .1 heard related tlie
other day will show liow near Georgia came
to being admitted to fttll representation
during the session of 1I10 fortieth Congress.
Tho representatives hnd already been ad
mitted to their seals iu tlio House nnd all
ttiat remained was tho swearing in of tho
two Senators from that State. They were
to bo 8wornon’a .certain day, mid their
credentials hnd been placed in the hands
of Senator Sherman, of Ohio, who hnd
agreed to lay them before tho Senate. Iu
tuo meantime it appears that Governor
Bullock hnd been In correspondence With
Senator Thayer, of Nebraska, and had in
dicated his doubts as to tho genuineness of
Gcoigin’s reconstruction. Thayer men
tioned the matter to two or threo of tlie
llndical Senators, but they did not seem
to pay much attention to it. Finally on
tliqdayon which it wns expected the Geor
gia Senators would ho admitted to tlicir
seats, Thayer received a letter from. Gov
ernor Bullock protesting against their bo-
Ingallowcd to quality.-'Tlmycr was show
ing this letter to Zaeh Clmndlor and re
marking that something should lie done,
when Drake, of Missouri, happened along.
“What’s that-you say about Georgia,
Thayer?’’saldDrako.

presented tho credentials of the Georgia
Senators. ThelittlckuotofSCnatorsgath-

Thayer hurrying to Ills seat, nnd Drako

The presiding officer of the Senate, hear
