gggrgi.i LEGI«LAT|KE.
The most im[K»rtant occurrence in the Legis
laturu, during the past meek, has been the re
jection of ihe proposed Constitutional Amend
ment, which had been referred to a joint com
mittee. On the Vtli the c anaii n e reported the
fofl /wing resolution:
" Resolved, That the lajtfi-latore of Georgia
declines to ratify the amendiMcnt adding the 14 h
article to the Constitution ot the United .State*.”
A motion was made iu the Senate t» postpone
its consideration to »<une future day, but it was
AWTidcd to rjicrqty adopting the above resolu 1
Don, and thi* pa-sed, yeas 3G nay* none—the
full Senate voting

of Fannin.
The cmnrnittee, on reporting thi* resolution,
accompanied the report with a lengthy argu
mont, in substance d* fallow* :
First, That the States of the United States
alone ore authorized to consider constitutional
amendment*.
Second, 'Tljat hucli arao»» linerits must l>e prr>

Fed.crul Government the right to ej. ct her.
The other bu ines* of the week has not been
of much importance, consisting of the iutrodne
tintl of private und ]<*cul bill*. No measure of
general interest has yet been acted on except
the Constitutional Amendment as noticed above.
The Hcnafe have passed the bill extending the
time under the re’iuf act for the payment o the
