Gwinnett Herald. IAWRENCEVILLE, OA. Wednesday, Nov. 8, 1871. The Legislature was organised last Wednesday, bj the electior\,of I- X. Trammel, of Dalton, President of tbe Senate; T. W. J, Hill, Secreret-sry and G. W. Anderson, Door-keeper, Colonel Smith, of Columbus, Speaker of tbe House, Waddell, Clerk, and W. J, Dorn, Door keeper. m mm Bullock’s Resignation. We publish, this week, Bullock’s tetter, explaining the reason wliieh induced him to resign. Prominent among the reasons given is the alleged fact that if impeached he Could not get a fair trial. This reminds ns of a story wed it ad to that inimitable story teller, J. W. FI. Underwood, ol Rome. A fast young gent of out* of our cities, hud been down town and got into a difficulty with one of the b’hoys, and came off second best in the fight, very much to his mortification. Directly afterwards, he met some of his friends and told them of his misfortune. They sympathised with him in his mor tification and proposed to go back with him, saying, we will see that you have a fair fight. '■'Fair fight!" says he ; “why, yes, we’ll sec thot you have a fair fight.” "Is that all?" “Yes, what mored>> you want?” "Well, if that's all , there's no use going-, I have already had that, and got whipped like the d—r The Situation. Gov. Bullock having resigned, Benjamin Conley, of Augusta, President of the Senate, is by vir tue of his office, under tlie Consti tution, Governor, until bis succes sor is elected and qualified. At least this is the construction which the Legislature has given that clause of tbe Cohstitution which provides for such contingencies. It is as follows : In ca«e of the death, rrsignation or disability of the Governor, tbe President of tlie Senate shall exercise the Executive powers of the Govern ment until such disability be removed or a successor is elected and qualified. The General Assembly shall have power to provide by law for filling unexpired terms by a special election Whether this is the propei con struction or not, it shows that the Legislature, in the present emor gency, does not intend to assume any doubtful powers. We arc informed that a bill lias been in troduced, providing for an elec tion for Governor, which is likely to pass. T liis, we are satisfied, is tlie most prudent course, and one which will receive tlie approval of a large majority of tic people of Georgia. Indications from Washington are that President Grant is waiting impatiently for something to be done in this State which will jus tify him in suspending the writ of habeas corpus and declaring martial law throughout the State. Gov. Bullock’s address was not intended for tlie people of Geor gia, to whom it was addressed, but for Northern consumption It was, we believe; part of a deep laid scheme, concocted perhaps, at Long Island iast summer, to over turn civil power in the State; and but another step towards central ization to which we have been lending since the close of the war. i ■■ . Special to the Atlanta Constitution. Washington, Nov. 1, 1871. Editsrs Constitution: * * * It is believed here that Bullock has fled to Cauda. Present indications are that the whole South will be put under martial law within thirty days.— Private dispatches to this effect were sent to Nt-w Vork financiers to-day. p Georgia Legislature.

Georgia Threatened.—lntima lions have boon made to the President that certain portions of Georgia are suffering from the hold acts of bands ot Ku-Klux. Members of the Outrage Committee are of opinion that evi dence has been produced which would warrant decisive steps to be taken by the Administration ir sup pressing disorders in Georgia, and ; therefore, efforts will be made to put down these distuibances. Although the President has not been fully advised concerning the exact situa tion of affairs in that State in this connection, it is firmly believed among Senators well posted in regard to the South that when the facts come to be laid before the Administration it is not at all improbable that the writ of habeas corpus will be suspend ed in Georgia.— Washington Chron Govenor Bullock Resigns. His Reasons for this step — An Ad dress to the Republicans and Union Men of Georgia . Ex. Dep't State of Geokgia, Atlanta, Ga. October 23,1871 To my Political Friendsand the Peo ple of Georgea: I have this day received infor mation, the truth of which I can not doubt, that the political con spirators who seek the overthrow, not only of the reconstructed gov ernment of Georgia, but of the United States, have secured the pledges of a sufficient number of j the incoming members of the Low llouse of the General Assembly to vi'te, without previous investiga tion for Articles of Impeachment against tne immediately after they have assembled and organized on ! Wednesday, the first day of No vember next ; and that having adopted such article's in the House a sufficient number of Republican Senators will be unseated to en sure conviction upon the articles so presented. I also learn that the Judge of the Supreme Court, who is personally and politically bitterly hostile to me, has inform ed his Iriends that this program me lias been perfected, and that be lias been selected to preside over the Senate during the trial ; and that the Senator representing Gen Toomb’s district is to be elected President of the Senate and immediately announce himself as, and claim to be, Governor during ♦he pending impeachment and thereafter for the balance of my unexpired term. Upon this state of facts I have decided to resign the office of Gov enor, to take effect before the meeting and qualification of the new members of the new body, and thereby defeat this nefarious scheme of these desperate politic conspirators By this course I shall protect my political friends in the Senate from the expulsion that has been i foreordained in order to secure my I impeachment, and, at the same j time, save the State from the dis j asters that would be sure to follow in tin' wake of success outlie part ! of the unpardoned aud unrepen tant Rebel leaders, who, though j comparatively few in numbers, move the masses by the irresista ble pressuie of sectional hale and social proscription. 1 have maintained my official position against the assaults of these people upon the course of equal rights and Republican Gov ernment just as long as it is pos sible for me to be of service, and now, for the purpose of again de feating this latest onslaught of these destroyers, I have resigned this office into the hands of that noble and unswerving friend of right and justice, the Hon. Benja min Conley, who, under the Con | stilution, by reason of be g Pres ident of tlie Senate, becomes Gov ernor during the unexpired part of my term, or until a successor is elected by the people. No charge has yet been brought agaiuet him, because he lias not heretofore been supposed to be an obstacle in tlie way of the con spirator’s success If assaults are now made upon him the coun try will understand the purpose for which they are made. As for myself, being divested of official position, the charges of every j character which these people are sure to make and proclaim against me can be brought before the court* aud 1 shall never siiink from any ! judicial inquiry that is divested of political bias and prejudice. May 1 be pardoned for a word of warning to the men who fought for the Un ion ! Six months ago in Georgia the mass of the people were acquiescing in the results of the war, and were willing to accept those results as be ing finalities, hut under the latter public teaching of certain old leaders who need not be named, the whole situation has changed, and leading gentlemen, even in the Democratic partv, who dared to speak in favor of ai quiescence and peace have been assailed and denounced, and the people so intimated that they dare not follow the advice. These conspirators fear, above all else, the re-election of General Grant. Their insidious efforts to mislead him as to the true situation in the South having utterly failed, they now fear that some persistent and irresistible maintainance of the right under civil administration which so brilliantly marked Gen. Grant’s military advan ces in the overthrow of the rebellion may defeat their revolutionary pur poses. I am now fully persuaded and sat. isfied that these men purpose to con trol the Government, and reverse the political reaults of the past few years by peaceful means, if they can, or by foul means, if they dare. Failing in this, another attempt at separation will be made, If evidence of this were wanting, we need but point to the public and private utterances of those who were foremost in secession and rebellion, and now denounce and ignore the lundamental law —the Constitution of the United States. Will the country head and take care, before it is too late to prevent another war with its frightful conse quences ? If my action in this emergency had been postponed until after the meet ing of the incoming body of legisla tors, the Executive branch of our State Government would have been absorbed by the conspirators itt the Legislative branch, and there would have been ho check upon the whole sale repeal and destruction of all the great measures of-re form and prog ress that we have labored so hard to establish. The free school system would be abolished, the colored citi zen denied every right guaranteed to him, and the Whole work of internal improvement carried on by northrrn capital would be swept away. The growing spirit of lawlessness and proscription for opinion’s sake is dai ly rendering the property and lives of Union men and Republicans more and more unsafe, and I fear the worst consequences if the Executive office .should be filled by one not only in sympathy with those who urge on and inflame this feeling, but who is moved and actuated bytbem. With no one in the Executive office to call upon the General Government for protection, its friends and supporters would be handed over witliont mercy to the assaults of their enemies. For these reasons I have detei min ed On this step, believing that much which has already been accomplished can he preserved through the wise and firm check upon revolutionary measures that will be giver, by Gov. Conley in control of the Executive branch ol tlie Government, and that thereby the good of the whole peo ple of Georgia will he promoted ; and I shall cheerfully give to Gov. Con. ley all tlie information and assistance within my power that he may desire. Rufus B. Biju.ock. Tiie Legislature. —The General Assembly did iniprotant things yes terday. It reognized Conley as exerei sing the Executive powers of the Gov ernment; it inaugurated a movement to provide for the special election ofa Governor in Decmber; it vindicated Assembly and the people of Georgia from the infamous slanders of Bullock; it started retrenchment by bills to reduce the pay of mem bers and clerks, and to lessen the cost of the public journals; and it put in progress the measure to investigate the State road frauds, and crimes of the Radical administration by a com mittee of able and resolute citizens outside of the Legislature. The whole action of the Legisla tive body lias been calculated to crush the Radical slanders against the State. The permission of Conley to exercise the Executive functions until a Gov ernor can be elected, when in the honest opinion of many, Preklent Trammell should do the gubernato rial duties, is a concession for peace, and a refutation of the charges of a revoltionary spirit on the part of the Democracy that cannot be over-esti mated.— Constitution.
