We hope Senator Carpenter, of Wlsconsin,
a good nun, otherwise bo i* pretty certain
have broken the third oonctnandment quite often
of late. Having made a flaming speech on
Cuba, the Milwankia Sentinel, radical as the
Senator is, published a telegraph synopsis of
and commented -very, severely upon it. The
Senator was wroth to'ihe point of foaming at
the mentis, and thereupon wrote to the publish
er calling his attention-to many errors in the
report, and requesting a publication of the
speech in fall, at the same time, with great ver
dancy, offering to pay, -all<he expenses of said
publication. The Sentinel complied, of course,
unit Carpenter had to pay^.jnst $307 20 lawfol
currency therefor. Carpenter has not felt very
well since, and as a-general-filing, will not here
after publish his speeches upthe Sentinel.

The Sekate Financial Scheme.—'The Finance
Committee have agreed Hpon a bill to issue for-
ty-flve millions of bask notes and redeem an
equal amount of 3 percent, certificates, which is
in accordance with Mr. Boutwell’s report, while
the proposed free banking feature, on a coin
basis, was secured by the Paciflo coast influence
If the banking capital of tho West i3 less than
that of the East, it is maintained that this bill
will-add to tho volume of currency in the former
section and decrease it in the latter, as there
will not be the same necessity of using so large
an amount of legal tenders for tho hank reserved
fund in lieu of the redeemed certificates.
Tbaxsfee of English Cotton Mit.t.b to
America.—A Northern exchange says it is re
ported that John Bright is building cotton mills
in America, and that Whitworth, the great En
glish machinist, has already an establishment
on this side of the water manufacturing cotton
machinery. The best class of English mechan
ics, too, are emigrating to .the United States;
and a letter from London speculates upon the
probability that ere long “Lancashire will be a
weird wilderness of smokeless chimnoys.”
Senator Boss, of Kansas, is said to meditate
a libel suit against certain Radical papers, for
saying that he was bribed to vote for President
Johnson's acquittal. If ho will take our advice,
ho will hasten to let it alone. Going shearing

libel suit by a politician against a newspaper
means, these days.

Affairs In Atlanta.
The condition, of political affairs in Atlanta,
disastrous and-menacing as it is, will hardly dis
appoint the apprehensions of any sagacious
pwbiie man. *\9ken the Congress of the United
States, in the plenitude and haughtiness of its
power, under the solicitations of Governor Bul
lock and Company, came to the fatal resolution
to forestall and^revent all proffers of accom
modation and harmonious co-operation, which
would undoubtedly* have come from the Legis
lature and peoplerof Georgia, they inaugurated
a strife of whioh bo man can see the end.
The desperate character and feeble number
of the champions aad depositories of Congres
sional confidence and authority in Georgia, im
posed upon that body the necessity of resorting
to the moot revolting, lawless and tyrannical
expedients to carry-out their schemes. Their
agents here, to secure a subservient Legislature,
(so-called) are -compelled to put a strained con
struction upon a tesUc&th concocted for the ex
press purpose of depriving the people of repre
sentation! The mosttransparent intimidation
is practised in the organization of the Legisla
ture, and put in force 1?y bullies employed for
that purpose, who threaten and blaster down
all dissent and objection, -and finally, when every
other expedient to seoexa such a legislature as
is needed is likely to fail, a military-order ad
journs the body, and many of the Democratic
members are summoned for a trial before a mil
itary commission/!
We cannot illustrate the utter desperation of
these representatives of Congressional tyranny
in Georgia, better than by showing that, in
arraigning these parties for -trial before a mili
tary commission, they spit the-very act of Con
gress in the face, under authority of which they
pretend to be reconstructing Georgia. Section
third of the act to promote Reconstruction in
Georgia, is in part in these words:
3. That if any person -claiming to be elected to
the Senate or House shall falsely take either of said
oaths, ho shall bo deemed guilty of-perjury and
suffer tho pains and penalties thereof, ana may be
tried therefor by a Circuit Court of the United
States for tho District of Georgia, in which District
the crime may be committed. The jurisdiction of
said Court shall he sole and exclusive for the pur
pose aforesaid.
Thus we see that this act vests the District
Court of the United States with “sole and exclu
sive jurisdiction” in these premises, and yet in
defiance of the act Gen. Terry (no doubt with
the advice and consent of parties representing
the government in this matter) erects his court
martial and summons the Democratio members
to appear before it Surely nothing could more
stroqgly illustrate a condition of perfect moral,
legal and rational depravity and defenceless
ness.
And St i3 all the most direct sequence from the
very natcro of the undertaking. And what is that
undertaking? It is, under the forms of self-
government, to establish the domination of a
wretched minority, destitute of public confi
dence, and whioh, at this day, could not elect
a dozen representatives in the Legislature, and
to this work Congress has committed itself for
an indefinite period»-and with all the despotism,
usurpation, knavery and State damnification
which it must certainly involve.
The very first result of the undertaking has
been that every Republican who fears God, loves
his country, and is not wholly lost to reason,
justice and liberty is in open revolt against this
atrocious proceedure! and as the business goes
on and the atrocities and usurpations thicken,
even tho guilty agents in this iniquity will slink
away from the dirty work—one by one—ap
palled by the mighty force of a silent but terri
ble popular indignation. But as the moral an
tagonism of the people gathers in volnme and
power, and the wretched agents of this iniquity
diminish in number and respectability, if that
wore possible, the guilty pride of Cqpgress be
comes still more fatally enlisted in tho prosecu
tion of the work.
There is practically no retreat, though tho
skies blush crimson with shamo. And thus here
13 a dead lock in which Congress has committed
itself beyond recovery to trample everything
like civil liberty, republicanism, justice, reason
and public welfare in tho dust; and work with
the most despicable instruments for the triumph
of public evil and mischief. This appears to
ns the plain aspect of the horrid dilemma.
Far better would it have been, had Congress
abolished at once all forms of freo government
and sent down a single trustworthy agent of the
authority it claims, to carry on the government
of Georgia without law and according to his
will and pleasure. Nothing is so horrible as to
turn a people ovpr a helpless prey to malevo
lence and dishonesty, and under a pretence of
Republican institutions, to maintain so trans
parent a cheat and swindle that the worst knave
of the pack is compelled to grin at it There
are not a hundred intelligent men in Georgia
who would not this day greatly prefer that Con
gress should establish an autocracy here of one
of its own most trusted partisans, with illimita
ble powers—than that tho State should be
turned over, in this way, to tho basest and shal
lowest pretence of a State organization founded
upon popular representation, which ever was
set up to provoke the scorn of any man capable
of self-respect or reason.
Atlanta Facts and Rumors.
From the Constitution and the telegraphic
correspondence of the Chronicle and Sentinel,
we gather a lot of items and speculations that
may prove interesting.
Bullock, although signing himself “Provi
sional Governor,” is still issuing commissions
as “ Governor of Georgia.” He has declared
to some of his minions, so the report goes, that
he means to rule or ruin the State.” We have
not a doubt of it. He is offering every induce
ment to Democrats who have taken the eath to
withdraw it. Money and office have both been
offered. He promises that if they will stand
back their disabilities will be removed, and they
finally admitted to their seats.
At the meeting of the military commission on
Friday, Senators W. T. Winn, A. W. Holcombe,
W. J. Anderson, B. B. Hinton and C. J. Well
born, appeared. They were represented by
Judge Richard IL Clark, Judge John Collier and
Hon. Geo. N. Lester. Farrow appeared for the
State, and asked for a continuance on the
ground that he didn't have his proof ready. The
Senators proposed to admit the facts charged
against them, but the shoulder-strap* ooncluded
to adjourn till next day.
The Chronicle says that Bollock & Co. tried
to buy the Era but failed, (they have bought it,
though-—Eds. Tel. and Mess. ), and that the In
telligencer, in consideration of all the State Road
printing, is now considered the Bullock organ
Blodgett and others of that sort are said to write
its editorials.
It is believed in Atlanta that Brown, Hill,
Akerman, Bryant, Caldwell, Holden and other
Republicans will soon attempt to reorganize
that party on the baas of opposition to Bullock.
It is thought that Joe Brawn will resign his Beat
on the Bench, and that Dawson A. Walker and
John Underwood are candidates for the place.
A large number of Bnllook’a Superior Court
Judges are in Atlanta, and, the Chronicle
charges, are energetically lobbying for their
boss.
The House of Representatives, as it stands at
present, shows a considerable majority of Dem
ocrats and conservative Republicans, but Terry's
military oommiaion is relied upon to reverse
these figures.
A. BL Ewino, son of Andrew Ewing, of Nash
ville, Tennessee, was shot and instantly killed
Monday, near Gnthzie, Ky., by a man named
Thomas Yancey.
The Georgia Press.
The Chronicle and Sentinel thinks, from the
news from Atlanta, that a reign of terror may
possibly be inaugurated in Georgia, 4>nt that
oar people have long ago become accustomed
to reigns of terror, and will grin and bear it.
The editor says that Georgians have been pa
tient and forbearing under all the Yankee
reigns of terror, but it is barely possible that
some of the adjuncts and supernumeraries to
future reigns may be stung by the little Geor
gia worms. We «ay it is barely possible. Let
us have peaee, King Rufus I!
We echo the invocation for the King’s ben
efit, too.
We quote as follows from the Columbus Bun
of Thursday:
Ceduxal Pbosecutson to Collect Debts.—
On Taesday warrants were sent by G. E. An
drews & Co., J. A. Cody A Co., and J. A. & W.
H. Cody, against B. Rosenthal, charged with ob
taining goods under false pretenses. The evi
dence showed that while Rosenthal had his
goods covered by mortgages, and was in debt,
be represented to the firms named and others—
the Lovingers and Eagle and Phenix factory,
that he had a large stock and a plenty of money,
showing rolls of bills, Having obtained the
goods he refused to pay for, at return them. In
all he had secured some two or three thousand
dollars’worth. As the only method to get repa
ration, the criminal prosecution was instituted
under a law which provides that a party, if con
victed, shall be deemed a cheat and swindler,
be punished by fine or imprisonment, and re-
store the property if it can be done. The ex
amination was conducted before Jnstico B. H.
Crawford, who bound Rosenthal over to answer
the charge in the sum of §400 for each of the
three cases—in all §1200.
Judge M. J. Wellborn.—The hosts of friends
of this gentleman will be glad to learn that he
has declined accepting the pastoral charge of the
Baptist church in Newnan, and will remain in
this section. His loss would be sadly felt, and
his absence deeply regretted. Ho has now
charge of three churches, two, “Bethsaida” and
" Liberty Hill,” in Georgia, and one in Russell
county, Alabama. The last is to be removed to
Silver Run and a new house of worship erected
in that place. He was once a member of Con
gress, Judge of the Superior Court, a leading
lawyer, filling trusts of profit and honor, pos
sessed of wealth; bnt for several years past has
been a Baptist minister, faithfully, earnestly
and zealously serving the cause of his Master,
where he found he could effect most good.
Reduction nr Fare.—The passenger fare on
the Southwestern Railroad has been reduced
from five to four cents per mile. As has been
stated, the return-ticket system has been aban
doned on all the roads from Colnmbns.
Tho Constitution, of Thursday, gives us the
following items:
Massachusetts Overrunning Georgia. —
Tuesday night, two white lads were found on
the streets, wandering about, and lodged in the
calaboose. They stated that they were brought
cat with .about one htwdred and fifty others,
from an orphan asylum in Massachusetts, by
some of the enlightened citizens of that com
monwealth, and dropped here. The others are
being distributed throughout tho State.
Tee Georgia Road.—A through passenger
car from Charlotte, and another from Wilming
ton, aro now running regularly on the Georgia
Road, passing through to West Point. The
passenger travel on tho Georgia Road is still on
the increase. This Road will net, the present
year, over §200,000 over last year.
A child with sis fingers was bom in Atlanta
a few nights since.
Coal is as scarce in Atlanta as Macon.
The Constitutionalist of Thursday says that
in Jnne last a negro man named Bon Godby
killed Mr. Adkins D. Lewis, of Burke county.
This mnrder was one of unusual atrocity, but
the negro was allowed the full privileges of the
law. After a fair and impartial trial, Godby
was found guilty and sentenced to be hung to
morrow, the 14th of January. A deputation,
consisting of Sheriff Byrd, his deputy, and other
guards came, last evening, to Augusta for .the
purpose of taking the condemned man to
Waynesboro this morning, preparatory to deal
ing with him as the law commanded. Their in
tentions, however, were frustrated by a respite
of sixty days, served by Mr. DeGraffenreid, by
direction of the “Governor.”
The Valdosta Times says that Mr. George
McCall, a citizen of that place, diSd very sud
denly last Monday, from heart disease.
Tho Savannah News chronicles the unex
pected but very pleasant meeting of three dis
tinguished ex-Confederates in that city, a day or
two since—Gen. Johnston, Admiral Buchanan
and Commodore TatnalL
Commenting upon the cry of “raise com,”
annually raised by the Georgia press, the
Greensboro Herald, while very doubtful whether
it will be heeded, says there are other crops to
bo looked after—the oat crop particularly. For
feeding working stock, oats are preferable to
com—more easily raised, and less exhausting
to the soil. We hope a large crop will be sown
next month. It were better to sow in October,
ordinarily; but well pul in, with fertilizers, in
February, or even March, oats will pay well.
The Americas Courier says several families
have left and are leaving that and the neighbor
ing counties for Western States.
The Conner also notes the appearance, above
ground, in some gardens there of English peas.
Some of the plants are three or four inches
high.
The Cartersville Express says one and one-
half miles of the Cartersville and Van Wert
railroad are already graded, and the work is
progressing finely.
The Greensboro Herald says that John E.
Jackson has sold bis farm of seven hundred
acres, one mile from that town, to a New Yorker
for §8000.
The Rome Courier notes the sale of Prentice’s
farm, of one hundred and sixty acres, near
Cave Spring, to Mr. Cooke, of Enfanla, for
§G0G0.'
W. A. Carswell, of Alabama, has bought John
Jones’ farm of sixty acres, near Rome, for
§4000.
The editor of the Griffin Star has had a ride
over the six miles that are finished of the Sa
vannah, Griffin and North Alabama Railroad,
and pronounces it as smooth and good a road as
was ever made.
The Star says the trains of the Macon and
Western Road are loaded with guano; and mer
chants there look forward to very heavy sales
this season.
The Constitution says that the receipts of the
two markets of that oity for 1869, were only
§873.05, while the salaries of the two clerks
amounted to §960.00. Only three stalls were
rented last year. The people having abandoned
buying at the markets, the Constitution calls
for the buildings to be tamed into school houses.
. - CoL Thss. C. Howard and CoL B. A. Alston,
will soon commence the publication of an agri
cultural weekly in Atlanta, to be called “The
Plantation,” with a circulation of five thousand.
A letter from Jefferson county, to the Chroni
cle and Sentinel, reports an increased scarcity
of labor in that county. But few planters have
their quota and many are wofully short. Tie
question, what has beoome of the negroes, is
hard to answer. We can hear of only a few who
have left the county, and yet many are missing
from our plantations. On some places the cabins
will be unoccupied, and the fields given over to
weeds and briars.
The editor of the Albany News has had a very
interesting conversation with one of the most
successful cotton planters in that section of the
State, and prooeeds to lay before its readers a
few of the grounds on which he bases his suc
cess as follows:
He came to this country some twenty yean
ago and oommenoed the production of ootton on
a very small scale, because of the lack of means
to go extensively- into it. After the first year
he never bought a peck of com or pound of ba
con until the war broke out, and to a considera
ble extent raised bis working stock, thus mak
ing nearly the whole prooeeds of his cotton crop
clear profit To this production of home sup
plies as far os practicable, he asaribes his suc
cess.
He is well known in this community as a fax*
seeing energetic man, economical with his re
sources, and prndent in their investment
In reviewing his policy he pereeives no error,
except insufficient attention to the production of
home -supplies. From past experience he is
convinced that horses and mules can be raised
in the country at a much less cost than they can
be obtained from the Btock-produeing States.
Thinks we need winter grass, bnt in its absence
finds an exeellent substitute in rye and wheat
for winter pasture. Says he, (and we fully con-
cur) there is bo better hay than can be made
from onr crow-foot grass. He intends this year
to sow a few acres in oats, and after the oats
are made, -prepare the ground for a crop of
crow-foot hay. He intends, also, to plant the
same quantity of ground in cotton, and com
pare the cost and products of the two plats of
ground. He thinks that devoted to oats and
hay, will prove the most profitable. We shall
with interest await the result of thin experi
ment.
If onr planters would engage more extensive
ly in such experiments, Northern hay would not,
many years, find sale here at from §2 to §2 50
per hundred pounds, while large crops of oats
would greatly diminish the demand for com,
which is not a very profitable crop in this part
-of the country.
The News also reports the following robbery:
The safe of Messrs. Brown & Wesolowski.dry
goods merchants of this city, was robbed of
eight or ten thousand dollars last Taesday night
About a week ago Mr. Brown lost his safe
key, and it is supposed that the finder or robber
of this concealed himself in the store on Tues
day evening, and during the night opened the
safe and took all the cash except twenty-five
cents. The notes and other papers were left.
It is believed, from the tracks made as he left
the dffor, that the thief is a white man.
Shad Fishing About Savannah.—The Repub
lican says the fishermen in the neighborhood of
Savannah have already ait their nets in the
river for the season, but the eatoh so far has
been light* It is too eaily, however, to con
template much success. When the season is
farther we will be better able to judge. Shad
from Back river, five miles up the river, and
Fort Pulaski, are slowly coming into market,
and bring one dollar each. Florida stood forty
to seventy-five cents.
The News says Colonel Styles, of the Albany
News, was admitted to practice in the United
States Courts, on Thursday.
The Quitman Banner says quite a number of
planters of that county have failed to secure a
sufficiency of labor for the present year, and it
is now deemed impossible to" supply the defici
ency. There is also a scarcity of laborers and
cooks in Quitman, and no prospect of supplying
the demand. House keepers, in consequence,
are in trouble, and the few day laborers remain
ing among us have advanced their per diem
wages.
The Constitution says street rumor assigns
Z. B. Hargrove to the position of Military Mayor*
of Rome.
BY TELEGRAPH,
Successful Experiment in Cotton Raising.—
Judge Simon Smith, of DeKalb county, noted
for his energy and skill as a farmer, last year
made an experiment with certain kinds of fer
tilizers on cotton. There were four rows of
each, one hundred and ninety-six feet long, and
abont §105 worth of fertilizers was applied to
them. It was a dry summer, and he did not
make more than half a crop. We give a synopsis
of his results;
The rows manured with sea fowl guano yield
ed 244 pounds, being a profit, after deducting
expenses, of 87] per cent.; Soluble Pacific 49]
pounds, or a profit of 71J; Chesapeake 48], or
a profit of G4J; Phoenix 51 j, o? a profit of 293J,
Peruvian 4,276, or 14J profit; stable manure
46] pounds;-not manured 24] pounds. The
bolls produced by each were as follows: Soln-
blo Pacific 5,342; sea fowl 5,264; Chesapeake
5,207; stable 4,911; Peruvian 4,274; Phoenix
14,169; no manure 2,965. This illustrates the
benefit of fertilizers. Judge Smith put on abont
§1.05 worth of fertilizers on every four rows.
^Constitution, 15fA.
The Marietta Journal, of Friday, says:
A lad by the name of William Dickerson last
week conceived an idea to have a “little fnn’
at the expense of his much loved friend, a
young lad, Thomas Wilcox, and secretly filled a
pipe with powder and tobacco, preparatory for
a “good smoke.” It was passed over to Mr.
Wilcox and he began earnestly and vigorously
to draw and whiff; an explosion not taking
place immediately, gave him sufficient time to
suck into the pipe stem a portion of the powder,
when it ignited and exploded, forcing a flame
of fire and hot tobacco liquid down his throat,
burning him with intense severity, which was
aggravated into inflammationof the lungs, from
the effect of which he died in a few days after
wards.
This fatal circnmstance occurred in Cherokee
county, and is deeply lamented by Mr. Dicker-
son and friends.
The Hancock Journal says tho prospect of so-
caring sufficient farm labor for the present year
in that county is very fair.
The gin-houso on the premises of Mr. John
Culver, four miles from Sparta, together with
about twelve bales of unginned cotton, belong
ing to Michael Butler, and about one thousand
bushels of cotton seed, was destroyed by fire on
Monday night The gin (a new Gullstt) was the
property of CoL T. M. Turner. The fire was
evidently by an inoendiary.
A company of Federal soldiers passed through
Rome, on Thursday, on their way to Sammer-
vill, Chattooga county.
The Covington Enterprise says that several
very aggravated instances of incendiarism have
recently oocurred in Jasper county. Tho dwel
ling house of Mr. James B. Goolsby was burned
one night last week, with most of its contents,
the family barely escaping and saving their
clothing. Also, a gin house belonging to Mr.
John Gay, and a gin house belonging to Mr.
Mac. Henderson, with eight bales of cotton,
each, were burned last week.
The Last Notes of a Dying Swan,
Bard, of the New Era, announoed his editoria
demise yesterday, in words following, to wit:
With this issue of the Era, I retire from its
proprietorship and editorial management.
All contracts with subscribers and advertisers
are legally provided for, and will be faithfully
executed by responsible parties.
In temporarily retiring from journalism, I
earnestly advise fidelity to law and implicit obe
dience to national authority. Lastly, in the lan
guage of our ill nations President, ‘‘Let ns have
peaoe”—that peace which can save .Georgia,
exalt and perpetuate the Union. Sam. Bard.
This valedictory brings up as suddenly and
sharply as the other Samivel’s love-letter. But
waiving oriticism we bid “Sam. Bard” adieu.
He retires a victim to the necessities of State.
We do him here the credit to believe he had a
soul above the dirtiest work demanded by his
position. Hence he was a rook of offense and
a stone of stumbling. He was an organ which
could not play the xnuaio called for, nor keep
step toifc He retires probably to give place to
men who have less oonsoienoe, and who will
rotate the dismal hardy gurdy, not as in fact
representing anybody or Anything in Georgia
but to print in Atlanta something whioh may be
read and copied by Northern Radical papers as
printed in Georgia. That’s the use of a Radical
organ in this State.

FROM ATLANTA.
Letter from Hon. 3. H. Caldwell.
Atlanta, January 14.—Hon. J. H. Caldwell, Re
publican member of the House of Representatives
and the National Republican Executive Committee,
and Chairman of the sub-division of that Commit
tee for the Southern States, has written a long let
ter to Hon. J. A. Bingham, member of Congress
from Ohio, giving a full account of tho real cause
of tho difficulty in organizing the Georgia Legisla
ture. Tho following is a synopsis of the letter
Tho question which divides and distracts the Re
publicans in the House is not a political one; not
race or color; nor a question involving the rights
of any class of persons, as such; bnt one involving
the consciences of honest men at work in the inter
ests of the State against a corrupt faction composed
of a few individuals seeking to entrench themselves
in positions which will enable them to deplete tho
Treasury and ruin the credit of the State. To ac
complish their purposes, various devices were resort
ed to, before the members convened on Monday, tbe
10th inst., and while they were attempting to or-
ganize, to intimidate certain mtaaUw tuxa.
them from taking tho oath. Among other things,
CoV Farrow, tho Attorney General, by request of
Gov. Bullock, has given a written opinion of the
scope of tho oath prescribed in the last Reconstruc
tion act, which is of no more weight or authority
than tho opinion of any private individual.
Ono of the difficulties which aroso in the Housa
grew ont of an attempt by the Clerk pro tern, to
enforce tho reading of Farrow’s opinion, as an au
thoritative construction of the oath. The reading
was forced through In a most arbitrary, violent and
disorderly manner, notwithstanding the remon
strances of leading Republican members. Another
difficulty grew out of the appointment by the Gov
ernor of one of his employees on tho State Road,
A. L. Harris, Clerk pro tem., to organize the House.
This is deemed by some Republicans a most arbi
trary step. Tho only authority the act of Congress
gives tho Governor, is to summon members by
proclamation to appear on a certain day. This had
been done, and at the time appointed the Represen
tatives appeared in their halL
Tho Governor’s power over the organization ceased
when he had issuod his proclamation and any at
tempt on his part to intimidate members present
from taking the oath prescribed, is in violation of
section fivo of tho act. Some members have been'
prevented by the publication of Farrow’s opinion
from taking the oath, who could have done so very
conscientiously; but were unwilling to place them
selves in apparent conflict with the expressed opin
ion of authorities, or incur what had been threat
ened against them if they ehonld qualify—a harass-
ing criminal prosecution. One member, in particu
lar, refused to take the oath because he did not
wish to place himself in opposition to the opinion of
the Attorney General and the Governor of the
State, yet ho had been a staunch Union man all
through the war, absolutely refusing to take any
part in the rebellion, but denouncing it all the time
until the conscript law passed, when he took refuge
in some small office from the direct physical force
with which he was menaced by the conscript officer.
This man is now deprived of his seat by undue at
tempts which the Governor and his subordinates
have made to keep members from taking the oath,
and that in violation of section five of the act.
The late act of Congress expressly provides:
When the membors have convened, the General As
sembly shall proceed to perfect organization. The
act does not specify tho officer who shall preside
over or organize either House, but each member is
sworn to support the Constitution of the State. In
addition thereto he must take, subscribe and file in
the office of the Secretary of State one of the oathB
prescribed in the act. Tbe Constitution which mem
bers are sworn to support, adopts Irwin’s Code as
tbe law of the State. Sections 169 and 170 of the
Code prescribes the maimer In which tbe General
Assembly shall be organized. The appointment of
Harris, Clerk pro tern., was in violation of the Code
as well as the act of Congress. Before Harris pro
ceeded to call the roll, a member rose and read two
sections of the Code relating to the maimer of or
ganizing; but Harris refused to hear him or enter
tain the motion. Scott asked to be allowed to pro
test against the manner of proceedings. Harris
told him he could not. Whemthe first member was
sworn, another member sent a protest against tak
ing his seat. Harris permitted the protest to bo re
ceived and read. While Farrow’s opinion me being
read, Bryant objected, as it was Intended to intimi
date members, and disputed Harris’right to preside.
Harris ordered the 8ergeant-at-Arma to arrest Bryant
m,;. brought about a difficulty in tbe Haase, and
several pistols were drawn by the Bergeant-at-Arms
and others against Bryant. The latter called Cald
well, of Troup, to take the Chair and organize the
House according to the pro visions of the Code.
Accompanied by Bryant, Caldwell approached the
Speaker’s desk, but being resfcfed and threatened
by the Sergeant-at-Arms and Harris, declined to act
as Speaker pro tem. Bryant was then chosen
Speaker pro tem., and put the motion to adjourn,
which was carried, but requested the members to
remain.
A committee waited on Gen. Terry and inquired
if the manner of proceeding met his approval. He
disapproved of Farrow’s opinion and the protests
against inembers taking Beats. Harris refused to
hear tbe report of tbe committee. At tbe request of
Gen. Terry, the members consented to let Harris
proceed with the organization. Since no member
objected to anything he had done, be refused to let
members qualify who were not present when the
counties were called—some detained at home by
Providential causes, but who presented themselves
before the roll-call was completed. The object of
these arbitrary proceedings was to force out of their
seats a certain number of persons, right or wrong,
who feel they can conscientiously take the oath.
Harris, under the Governor’s instructions, adjourns
the House whenever he pleases, without a motion
from any member. On yesterday he adjourned it till
Monday, the object of which was to inquire by mili
tary commission into tbe alleged ineligibility of cer
tain members who had taken the oath. I gee no
provision in the law for any each inquisition. The
law gives such members as qualify the sole right to
organize the body.
If the House is permitted to prooeed, the Fif
teenth Amendment will be ratified and a clear Re
publican majority be had in both houses.
Atlanta, January 15.—In the Court of Inquiry,
the counsel for the defense filed the following plea
to jurisdiction to-day: To General Huger, General
Haines, and Major Goodfellow, composing the
Board of Inquiry into the eligibility of the under
signed to a seat in the Legislature of Georgia, under
the Reconstruction acts of the United States Con
gress: The undersigned, being officially notified
of the appointment and meeting of tins honorable
Board, and being also notified that he might appear,
either in person or by attorney, and defend himself
‘against allegations that he is ineligible to a seat in
the Legislature of said State, does now appear with
all due respect for the members of the Board per
sonally, and does horeby protest and declare that
this honorable Board has no lawful right or juris
diction to inquire into and pass judgment upon the
eligibility of the undersigned to a seat in the Legis
lature of Georgia, for 4he reasons and upon the
grounds following
First. The undersigned, after full investigation
as to his qualifications, and after taking the oath
prescribed in tbe Beconstruction act for registered
voters, duly registered as a voter, and afterwards
duly elected to tho Senate of Georgia by tbe
registered voters of the Senatorial district which he
represents, is entitled to a Beat without let or hin
drance. His ineligibility, so far as a compliance
with the reconstruction acts is concerned, has been
sanctioned and confirmed by Congress and its laws.
Inasmuch as under these acts no qualifications for
office are required, or imposed, save that required of
a vole:, and as all voters had been registered, and
as tho undersigned is a registered voter, recognized
and declared to be snch by Gen. Meade, who then
commanded the district, ho is unquestionably enti
tled to a seat.
Second. Having passed the ordeal of registration,
his eligibility is to be judged by the standard pre
scribed in the Reconstruction acts and tho Consf Ra
tion of Georgia, which has been approved by Con
gress, as a rule of action on all other grounds of in
eligibility, and the militaiy have no jurisdiction of
the question.
Third. The recent act of Congress entitled an act
to promote tlm reconstrucion of Georgia, does not
repeal or modify tho reconstruction laws in exist
ence when passed, relative to the qualification of
voters or office holders; but Congress, proceeding
upon the assumption that there had been illegal reg
istrations and thereby members elected to the Legis
lature, in violation of the reconstruction laws and of
the 14th article of the Constitution of the United
States, requireaihat each member of the Legislature
shall take ono or the other of tho oaths prescribed in
the recent act, on pain of indictment, conviction and
punishment for felony, which is in conformity with
andin furtherance of existing laws. Thus Congress
declared what is the mischief, and pointed ont the
remedy and designated tho form whose jurisdiction
should be sole and exclusive for'the enforce
ment of that remedy. There is no power lodged
anywhere to adopt a different rule of action or pre
scribe a different remedy.
Fourth. Congress itself can go no further than
pa83 laws for the enforcement of the "fourteenth
article of - the Constitution of the United States;
and the recent acted law is one of that sort, and
plainly enacts what the remedy shall be for viola
tion, and where and how the remedy shall bo en
forced against the members of the Legislature of
Georgia; and tho undersigned respectfully asks
how can any officer of the United States, civil or
military, do more or less than Congress prescribed ?
Fifth. Section fourth of the recent act declares
that pCTBUnirciociourtv ixxtr

that the Senate hill be laid aside and the House bill i
taken up. The regulations of the Senate forbade 1
definite action, and the Senate resumed the coneil. |

Mr. Stewart hoped Virginia would not be fettered i

sibilit ies ?
Mr. Drake could not understand how Republics j
Senators had changed front. Neither would tie j
country understand it.
Mr. Carpenter would like to know what would be {
done with Virginia if she violated the conditiou j
proposed.
Mr. Drake said “sufficient for tho day is the er31
thereof.” J
Mr. Carpenter responded now is the day for con

Mr. Carpenter would have kept tho Soutien j
States under pnpilage, if it took twenty-five yean; j
but when they didcome back, he wanted them bad j

wanted Virginia to come with some rights. Mr.
Carpenter asked, has Congress the right to force t
constitution on Virginia ? j
Mr. Sumner replied, unquestionably.
Mr. Morton maintained the right of Congress to t
impose conditions. Many Senators, he said, believed |

ing one of the prescribed oatbs or affirmations,
shall thereupon proceed to reorganize two houses
by tho election of proper officers to each houso:
and if any member shall take either one of the
oaths falsely, the act itself provides what shall be
the punishment.
Sixth. The Constitution of the State provides one
other remedy, and that, is found to the power of
either house to expel any one of its members who
may have rendered himself infamous by perjury or
any other heinous crime.
Seventh. In view of the propositions hereinbe
fore" submitted, the undersigned most respectfully
asks what is the object of tho inquiry which this
honorable Board has been directed to institute, and
what use 1b to be made of tbe testimony which may
be given before them? Is it intended by this.pro
ceeding to lay the foundation, or pave the way for
trial and punishment of the undersigned by court
martial or military commission ? If so, the proceed
ing is to positive violation of the recent act afore
said, which gives to the civil courts of the United
States sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the ques
tion, and prescribes the mode of trial and the
measure of punishment for taking either oath false
ly. Is it intended by this investigation to point out
who aro guilty of felony and who should be prose
cuted before the civil tribunals ? If so, the pro
ceeding is a usurpation of the functions of the civil
courts and a prejudgment of the case, and places
the civil courts where they must either comply with
the orders of the military, or take direct issue with
them. Can it be intended by this proceeding to ob
tain a report from this Board, upon which the mili
tary authorities intend to expel the undersigned
from his place to tho Senate after he has registered
as a voter and after he has been duly elected to the
Senate by the duly qualified voters of the District
he represents, and has served two long sessions as
Senator, participating to the ratification of the
Fourteenth Article of the Constitution of the Uni
ted States and declaring by solemn public act the as
sent of Georgia to the fundamental conditions of
representation to Congress by tbe terms of the act
of June 25,1868, and after he has complied with the
provisions of tbe recent act by taking one of the
prescribed oatbs and participating to the election of
President and Secretary of Senate ? If so, a power
will be exercised for which no authority can be found
to the Constitution of the United States or to the
reconstruction laws, or recent act aforesaid, or any
law to existence ; nay, more, it would be exercising
power unknown to the genius and spirit of the
American Government, subversive of civil liberty
and destructive of the beet hopes of a patriotic
peoplo.
Eighth. Great as are the powers of the District
Commander, he has no htwfol power or rightful au
thority to set at naught recent acta of Congress, or
to provide additional and different remedies for evils
which Congress would correct.
Ninth. The said recent act of Congress confers,
neither expressly nor by implication, any sort of au
thority upon the military power to the United States
to interfere to the organization of a Legislature, or
pass judgment upon the eligibility of its members.
Wherefore, etc.
