HOW UBS. GRANT RECEIVES.
Atrs-_ Grant receives her familiar friends in
her boudoir. More formal callers are
ushere d in the Red Parlor. To see the wife of
the Present is an undertaking of no small
moment. The army of richly dressed servants
that fill the mansion aro instructed to admit no
one until a i\ard is presented to Mrs. Grant.
And then it is required that the applicant for
the honor of paying his respects to the wife of
the President sh.ril either be accompanied by
some one already enjoying the acquaintance of
the hostess, or have been previously presented
to her. The caller, moreover, must appear in
full dress.

They See the Folks, and the Style In

[From the Nets' York £«n.]
To gaiu an idea of the change that has so
gradually crept over us, and tho contrast the
White Pouso to-day presents to tho same estab-
lishwcnt a score of years ago, one has bnt to
snake a formal call of respect upon the Presi
dent. No longer does he find tho main entrance
shading open to all comers. Even nt the very
thnshhold lie is reminded that the latch-string
does not bang out as indays of yore. Tho house
of lie President is closed against tho common
timg. To be sure the great dignitary may bo
tecs, but not as in days gone by, in a plain, fa.
miliar, easy manner. The visitor mnst under-
ttud at tbe outset that be is calling upon no or
dinary personage. A flunky in fall dress re
ams bun at tho door. All the paraphernalia
olmllow-tailed coat, white vest and choker,
Uick trousers, and white gloves, with which
this obsequious door-opener astonishes tho vis
itor, is designed to prepare the mind for some
thing more grand and aristocratic within. Tho
plain citizen is at onoo embarrosed and confns-
ed. If tbe ushers of tbo President are thus
gnodiy attired, bow may) a visitor approach
the august presence in plain homespun?
Bat, tb« portal passed, a more bewildering
effect awaits the visitor. The grand vestibule
of the Executive Mansion, glittering like tbo
spacious s il ions of Jim Fisk’s Boston steam
boats, with gold l-.uf and bright colors, presonts
a aiore advanced idea of the grandeur which
has displacidthe American simplicity that once
graced this aV>. de. The glass screen separating
the vestibulo from the main corridor of the
mansion, is a work of art of which even tho
Tuifleriai might be proud. The iron frame is
richly bronzed, while the glass presents tho
choicest designs in all the colors of the rainbow.
The lofty ceiling of the apartment surpasses in
brilliant coloring and miscellaneous groupings
Brumidi's gaudy master-piece which adorns the
dome of tho Capitol.
In his domestic relations, the President is
treated with the utmost deference and respect.
Mrs. Grant insists that whatever may be tho
proper homage for him to receive on public oc
casions is none the less proper in the privacy of
his own family circle. Thus he is always ad
dressed as Mr. President, and referred to as the
President, and tho servants are strictly enjoined
to observe this mark of distinction. On state
occasions, the President, of course, with the
most distinguished lady guest, leads tho way
into the dining room. But this strict etiquette
is by no means confined to such solemn occa
sions. Should a friend of the President, how-
over intimate ho might be, accept an invitation
to dine socially, and venturing upon his intima-
cy, presume to forget the preference to which
the President is entitled, he would bo reminded
of it. Thus, when dinner is announced, tho
guest will offer his arm to Mrs. Grant, and move
forward. Mrs. Grant checks him with a polite
bow toward her husband, and the remark, “The
President goes first.” So at the table; the
President i3 first served, and then those who sit
at meat with him. And this rule admits of no
variation nnder any circumstances.
THE EXECUTIVE BILLIARD EOOJT.
Just off the State diningroom,and back of tho
passage leading to the conservatory, has been
erected a small addition to the mansion for the
diversion of the President. This is the execu
tive billiard saloon. It is about eighteen by
twenty-five feet in dimensions, nearly all en
closed with glass, the narrow space between the
windows being filled with pictures of a sporting
character. The furniture is of black walnut,
and consists merely of a few chairs, a table, a
side board, etc. The room is prettily carpetted
and contains a single table of Phelan’s make,
finished in rosewood in tho most elaborate style.
The cues are mostly of costly wood, inlaid with
pearl. Everything in the apartment is of the
best, and certainly it is an attractive spot. The
tho table was selected by Gen. Grant in person
at Phelan’s establishment in this city, and was
in use at his private residence before he was
elected President
THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE S STYLE OP RECEIVING.
Mr. Grant receives his visitors with no trace
' cordiality whatever. Ordinarily ho remains
isted at his writing table, nods and matters
Maturing like “good morning,” as the caller
ipproaches; listens moodily, almost abstracted
ly, to him as he states his case, answers him in
lonosjllables, and dismisses him with a nod
id half inaudible “good day.” Those of more
ordinaiy pretensions, who may chance to
are admitted to the stereotyped shake of
hands, the President rising and accompany-
ig the shake with something like “I’m very
to see yon.” But then he shuts himself up
jhis studied reticence, and listens patiently,
ittsvers briefly, and’gets through the business
“ quickly as possible. With a third class, how-
i«r. he is altogether a different person. These
re his old army companions and such civilians
's hive gained his confidence. To gain Mr.
'tintsconfidence is an achievement now rare-
accomplished. It was easier eight or ten
;cats ago, and hence the most of his con-
dtnts are those who had relations with him
Mentis star began to rise. Such are received
V Lia with the utmost cordiality and famili
ar- They are relieved from tho examina-
lc ® by Dent, and are admitted to tho pres-
at any time when others are not closeted
"ith him. They are sainted by their sur
ges, as “How are you, Sherman?” or
Hailo, Smith; glad to see you,” and so on.
"Lm such familiars call, no etiquette whatov-
r is followed. Cigars are usually produced at
ocs, and then follows a free and easy, gossip
's- stoiy-tolling conversation. And as the
•’ke becomes thick in the room, and the fa-
liarity attains its height, Mr. Grant becomes
tmost pliable person imaginable. All reti-
-ca and stolidity are laid aside; bo talks as
«cly as any one; tells as good a story as tho
and will promise anything that may be
«d of him. There are bnt a few persons who
'jay this close acquaintance with Grant, and
‘7 are fortunate. Still a fonrth class is com-
of exclusively of solid men—men who are
'pposed to bo able to draw their checks for
ibnlous amounts—the Stewarts, Bories, and
like financially great men of the country,
these the President accords the most gra-
reception. On the announcement of their
ics, he hnrries to greet them, and himself
fends to offering them seats. Their calls are
‘ter considered too long, or in the slightest
use a bore. To them he is cordial to subserv-
■ncy.
THE WHITE HOUSE CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC.
THE EQUINE ESTABLISHMENT.
The Executive stables, near the Navy De
partment, are fitted up with every comfort and
luxury for the equine members of the Presiden
tial establishment. There are twelve animals of
various degrees of beauty and value kept here
for the use of the President and his family, with
four carriages, besides an array of open wagons,
bugeies, and other equipages.^ The horses in
clude coacn teams, trotters, racers, saaai» Lorses,
and two Shetland ponies for the exclusive use of
the Executive's juveniles. The aristocratic look
ing Nubian who has tho honor of presiding over
this establishment, takes delight in showing vis
itors through, and in descantingupon tbe merits
of the different animals. But not the least at
tractive feature is the stunning liveries of this
same Nubian and his worthy coadjutor, who oc
cupies the position of footman. The coats are
of a rich olive brown, with broad lappels, cuffs
and pocket covers, the whole profusely covered
with bright silver buttons, the size of an old
American silver dollar piece. The gorgeous top
boots in which the feet of these worthies aro
encased render attention to tho character of the
pantaloons unnecessary. Black stove-pipe hats,
with broad bands and massive silver buckles,
adorn the heads of these servants of Presiden
tial grandeur, and complete their outfits. All
the carriages bear the initials “U. S. G.,” in
monogram on the panels.

Tlie Great Cheshire Cheese.
From Appleton's Journal, j
The Great Political Cheshire Cheese has so
nearly passed ont of tho memory of men, that
we doubt if many of the present generation
even heard of the existence of this extraordinary
instance of political enthusiasm. Mr. Elihu
Burritt has recently revived,its history, from
which wo condense tho following account: In
tho Presidential campaign preoeding tho elec
tion of Thomas Jefferson, the father of Democ
racy, party spirit ran high, and tho Federalists
were unsparing in their denunciations of Jeffer
son. Tho parsons of New England, especially
of Massachusetts, entered the arena, and, turn
ing their pulpits into hustings, waged war upon
a religious basis, denouncing Jefferson as an in
fidel, and placing him upon the samo platform
with Voltaire and the other apostles of atheism.
In Cheshire, Mass., however, a divine was
fonnd who took up the eudgels against the in
tolerant bigots, by whom he was surrounded.
This was Elder John Leland, a plain, unassum
ing man, but one of the most effective preachers
of his day. He bent all his energy and mental
power to tho support of his own views, and had
the satisfaction of winning to the side of Jefferr-,
son every member of his congregation, as well
as many others; in fact^Cheshife to a man fol
lowed his lead.
After the election of Mr. Jefferson, Eider
Leland conceived an original plan of announc
ing to the world the principles of Cheshire, and
one Sunday proposed to his congregation that
on a given day each man and woman in the town
who owned a cow should bring every quart of
milk given on that day, or all the curd it could
make, to a great cider mill owned by Captain
John Brown, the first man who detected and de
nounced the treason of Benedict Arnold, for the
purpose of manufacturing a mammoth cheese,
as a present to tho President. The idea was re
ceived with enthusiasm, and on the day appoint
ed, tho sun shining brightly, and everything
propitious, the whole population of the town
ship, men, women and children, on foot, in car
riages, wagons and ox-carts, assembled at tbo
great cider-press, each bringing his or her con-
tribntion.
The press had been prepared for the occasion,
and upon the bed had been placed a huge hoop
to serve as a cheese-box. Into this was poured
the milk, and, when tho last contribution had
been given in, a committee of the most experi
enced matrons of the town attended to the deli
cate task of mixing, flavoring and tinting the
largest mass of curd tho world had then seen.
This done, tho ponderous machinery was put in
motion, tho yonng men seized the levers, the
screws were turned to the limit of their power,
and the work was accomplished. Elder Leland
then closed the exercises by imploring the bless
ing of Heaven upon tho undertaking, after
which ho said: “Let us further worship God in
a hymn snitable to this interesting occasion.”
Tho hymn “lined ont” by the Elder was sung
to the tune of Mear, and the crowd quietly dis--
persed. When the cheese was thoroughly dried
and ready for use, it weighed sixteen hundred
pounds, and conld not be safely transported on
a wagon. It was not until midwinter that it was
possible to move it, when taking advantage of a
heavy fall of snow, it was placed upon a sleigh,
and Elder Leland, taking the reins, drove all
the way to Washington, a distance of five hun
dred miles, which ho accomplished in three
weeks.
On arriving in Washington the elder drove at
once to the White House, and presented his
people’s gift to tho President in a characteris
tic speech. The President responded with deep
and earnest feeling to this remarkable gift,
coming from tho heart of a New England popu
lation ; receiving it as a token of his fidelity to
the equ<d and inalienable rights of individual
men and State*. At tho close of the speech,
the steward of tho President out out a deep and
golden wedge in tho presence of Mi. JofFnrson,
the heads of the departments, foreign ministers,
and many other eminent personages. It was of
a beautiful nnnotto color, a little variegated in
its appearance, owing to tho great variety of
curds composing it; and, as it was served up
to the company with broad, all complimented it
for its richness, flavor, and color.
The Captain John Brown alluded to here, was
Grandfather of Mr. Herbert R. Brown, and of
Mrs. A. L. Maxwell, of Macon. Elder John
Leland, the celebrated Baptist Divine hero men
tioned, and the progenitor of a numerous and
talented race, was their Great Grandfather, on
the maternal side. The thoroughness with
which that good old soul indoctrinated the peo
ple of Cheshire, in the principles of “democra
cy and a strict construction of tho Constitu
tion,” will bo appreciated from tbo fact that,
from that day to this, Cheshire has stood un
shaken in her democratic faith—steadily voting
down, in turn, Federalists, Whigs, Know Noth
ings, Republicans and Radicals by a majority
of never less than three to one. She was demo
cratic all through tho war—never flinching in
her opposition to it on constitutional grounds.
Sho was never misled into any sort of isms,
idiosyncracies, extravagancies, corrnptions and
rascalities of the times, bnt has conducted all
her public affairs straight along with old-fash
ioned economy, prudence, honesty and incor
ruptible virtue—paying as she went, and even
coming out of tbo war, in spite of all extra
ordinary expenses to keep up tho quota of
troops demanded of her, out of debt and right
side up. Such has been tho force of the exam
ple and precepts of old Elder John Leland, who
asked a blessing and sung a hymn, over tho
Great Jefferson Cheese, and then drove it to
Washington, in mid-winter, making his speech
to the great Apostle of Democracy from the
sleigh or sledge. j,
Farnsworth vs. Butler.—There were lively
• times in the United States House of Represen
tatives Monday last, when the Virginia bill was
under discussion. Bingham and Farnsworth
piled in heavily on Butler, and many hard
words were spoken. Mr. Farnsworth dagner-
reotyped “The Beast
Mr. Farnsworth said he understood perfectly
well the allusions of the gentleman from Massa
chusetts when he accused men of leaving the
lie-publican party. His Republicanism was of
too old a date to be questioned by tbo gentle
man from Massachusetts. Ho was a Republi
can twenty years ago, when that gentleman was
chasing fugitive slaves through Massachusetts.
In I860, when he (Mr. Famswortfl) was at the
Chicago Convention helping to nominate a Re
publican candidate for. the Presidency, tho gen
tleman was in Charleston, S. C., vo.ting for Jeff.
Davis. [Laughter among tho Democrats.]
Again, in I860, when he (Mr. Farnsworth)
was voting for Abraham Lincoln, the gentleman
from Massachusetts- was voting for John O.
Breckinridge, of Kentucky, and having, besides,
voted for all the reconstruction measures, he
was not now to be talked out of the Republican
party by ths gentleman. He knew the gentle
man's facility for turning about, and he knew,
too, that he came over to the Republican party
when his friends deserted him. His conversion
was so sudden that it put that of Paul to shame.
When Peter deserted his Master, ho had to fall
to cursing and swearing to prove the sincerity
of his repentance, and so the gentleman from
Massachusetts had to become more radical than
all the rest in order to show that he was a Re
publican. The gentleman, in his speech, had
much to say about what took place in this
House on Monday, and ho (Mr. Farnsworth) re
pudiated the idea that anything like what had
been called snap judgment had been taken.
The labor reform men in New Hampshire
want to nominate a liberal Democrat for Gov
ernor, and ask General John Bedell, tho regular
Democratic candidate, to withdraw. But Bedell
is not able to see the advantages to him of this
arrangement, although thoy promise him a nom
ination for Congress next year.

Trial and Execution or Sal nave.
By the arrival at this port of Ibi bark Harrii
frpm Portau Prince, the report o| Salnave’s ei-
eention is confirmed. Salnave wis put on M|J
trial on the 15th by the revolutimary trib
The trial commenced at 3 o’clock in the p:
enco of a largo number of civil authorities md
attended by the National Guard. The accwed
was introduced by the President as Sylvanfeal-
nave, President of Hay ti, aged forty-three, )orn
at Cape Haytien and living at Port au PVnce.
The President—“Have you made a chote of
soma one to defend you 2” /
Salnave—“I wish to be assisted by lessrs.
Yalten and Lavaud.”
: Mr. Lavaud declined to defend the /ecused.
Tho President, of the Council then d$ignated
M. Jair, of Jacmel, to act with JC. Valiin. Sal-
navo then had an interview with Ijis cfAnsellors,
after which thei 1 Deputy Marshal isadthe charge
to the prisoner, which pccnp^ V.Asiderable
time, tho most important being’thit to annulled
the Constitution and named himself p’Otector of
the republic; that he associated hinself with
depraved characters, and held on tc the Gov
ernment by fraud and force; therefore Sylvan
Salnave, is accused of high treason devasta
tion, pillage with arms, committingassassina-
tions, and is now amenable for theaeirimes.
Salnave Said that he was not oapolo of the
acts with which he was accused. JEL counsel
made a strong appeal, and made ovey effort to
destroy the accusation, qnoting freqently tho
position of Jefferson Davis in the rebtlion in the
United States. After ashortaddres from the
prosecution, ono more appeal wa? made by
Salnave’s counsel, M. Valien, and tl? trial was
closed. The members of tho corr then ad
journed for deliberation, which la/tid an hour,
at the expiration of which the jugment of the
court was pronounced as follows: j*In tho namo
of the republic, the court finds Sjvan Salnave,
aged forty-three, soldier, and exPresident of
Hayti,guilty of all the charges prferred against
him, and do sentence him to be shot to death,
and order that the execution Ejall take place
at the Peristyles of tho National ( ’alace.”
Preparations were immediatcl-made for car
rying out the judgment of the cart.
Tho President then addressedjialnave: “You
havo just been condemned to doth, I entreat
you to be firm and courageous.”
Salnave replied: “ I shall nt fail. I only
ask for time to put my affairs inbrder.”
This request was granted, aniio was engaged
for a quarter of an hour in wiring a letter,
which he sealed and placed in tie hnnds of the
President. Immediately nfterihis he was pin
ioned and taken from tho coitt, attended by
two clergymen, to tho place of execution. He
was was then tied to a post; prepared for the
occasion, and a solemn scene etmed. The firing
party was then drawn up, and 3eneral B. Canal
said to Salnave, “You are goir? to be arraigned
as a traitor.” “Fisc la constitriion," tho words
which the signal for tho deafly volley, were
taken up by tho people, and aaid tho shouts of
“r?>c la constitution,” at tiveny minutes past C
o’clock, January 15th, Sylvan Salnave ceased to
exist. His body was then pit into a cart and
buried among the felons.—2vco York Sun.

Love-Jinking.
Anthony Trollope has a pretty deep insight
into human life, which he well Mows how to
exhibit in Ms novels. Who elsowould even
have fathomed this depth in tho love-making
periods of our lives ? He says tint “perhaps
there is no period so pleasant amorg all the
pleasant periods of love-making asthitinwhich
the intimacy between the lovers is so assured,
and the coming event so near, as to produce
and endure conversation about the ordinary lit
tle matters of life; what can be done With the
limited means of their disposal; how that life
shall be begun, which they shall lead together;
what idea each has of Iho other's duties; what
each can do for the other; what eaoh will re
nounce for the other. There was atrao senso
of the delight of intimacy in tho girl who de
clared that sho had never loved her bver so well
as when she told Mm how many pairs of stock
ings she had got. It is very sweet to gaze at
the stars, and it is swe6t to sit ont among tho
haycocks. The reading of poetry together ont
of tho samo book, with brows all close, and
arms all.mingled is very sweet; theponring out
of tho whole heart in words, which tho writer
knows would be held to be ridiculous by any
eyes and ears and senso, but tbe ejes and ears
and senso of the dear one to whim they are
sent, is very sweet, bnt for the girl who ha3
made a shirt for tho man she loves, there has
come a moment in the stitch of it sweeter than
any stars, haycocks, poetry or superlative opt
thets have produced.
A Gentlemanly “Dead Bent.”
A. well dressed man, of easy and assured man
ners, took a seat in a Bowery restaurant, and
ato liberally of the most expensive dishes on
the carte. Having concluded Ms dinner, he
coolly laid his expensive ticket on the pay coun
ter, and looking the proprietor Bteadily in tho
eye, said: “Please accept tMs ticket from me;
I have no money.” “No money!” said the irate
landlord. “Why, then, did you eat my vittels?”
“Because I was hungry." “Yes, but you could
have got along with less; what did you eat the
best there was in tho house for? If you’re a
beat and a beggar why didn’t you take plain
fodder?" “Because,” said the stranger, “I
was brought hp a gentleman and my stomach
revolts at homely food.” “Well, that is good-”
bellowed the landlord, losing all control of
himself, “yon shaltpay for them vittleB, and I’ll
collect it out of yonr hide,” and reaching down
for his revolver, he sprang over the counter and
collared his unwelcome guest, who deliberately
put up Ms eye-glass and surveyed the murder
ous instrument’ “Ah!" said he, at last,' “only

seats on tho floor to all members and ex-mem
bers of Congress, Governors and ex-Governors,
and Judges of tho Supremo, Superior and Dis
trict Courts, . while in the city, wMch was
adopted.
Mr. Higbee offered a resolution tendering
seats to tho reporters of the city press, so long
as their reports aro truthful.
Mr. Wooten moved to strike out the clause
“so long as their reports are truthful,” contend
ing that thero was no tribunal established to try
tho truthfulness of reports, and it was casting
an unintentional imputation upon reporters.
Mr. Brock said that the clause was unnecess
ary, for ho was satisfied that newspaper report
ers would report proceedings truthfully and im
partially.
Mr. Higbee accepted tho amendment of Mr.
Wooten.
Mr. Bruton offered as a substitute, a resolu
tion tendering seats to all authorized represen
tatives of tho Press in the city.
Mr. Dunning offered as a substitute for both,
a resolution tendering seats to “all bona fide re
porters of tho Press, so long as they give*an im
partial report of the proceedings of this body.”

stitute of Mr. Dunning in terso and pointed
speeches.
Aaron Alpeoria favored the resolution because
tho press gave unfaithful reports of the Consti

lain.

President appoint a committee of three to pro
cure the services of a Chaplain.
A lengthy discussion ensued, in which many
Senators participated.
Mr. Speer wouldn’t give a banbee for the
prayers of any preacher—conld do Ms own pray
ing.
Mr. Smith, of the 7th, was opposed to preach
ers electioneering for the position of Chaplain.
Mr. Candler believed in the efficacy of prayer,
and that if there was ever a deliberative body
Mr. Speer objected to the substitute on the
ground that it would interfere with the business
of Senators engaged in horse swapping !
The substitute was lost and the resolution of
Mr. Higbee adopted.' ’ -
Mr, Brock offered a resolution calling upon
Gen. Terry and Gov. Bullock to issue a procla
mation stopping all judicial proceedings on con
tracts prior to June, 1865.
Messrs. Candler and Wooten made a point of '
order, that the resolution was out of order, the
organization of the Senate not having been re
cognized by Gen. Terry, wMch point was sus
tained by President Conley.

. Senate then adjourned till Wednesday, 12

House.—House met at 10 a. al and was called
to order by the Speaker.
Prayer by Rev. C. W. Francis.
Calling of the roll dispensed with.
Journal of Saturday read.
Mr. Bryant, of Riohmond, handed in a protest
to the further action of the House, on the ground
that it was illegally organized. He asked that it
be read and entered on the journal. The Speak
er ordered the protest read. This was an able
and unanswerable protest.
O'Neal, of Lowndes, arose to discuss the pro
test. He thought the protest was disrespectful— t
A message from the Senate was presented by
J. G. W. Mills, informing tho House of the or- -
ganization of the Senate by the election of Hon.
Benj. Conley, as President, and J. G. W. Mills,
as Secretary, and that a committee of three
from the Senate was ready to proceed with any
similar committee from the House, to inform
the Provisional Governor of their organization.^
Mr. O'Neal continued Ms remarks. He liken
ed the House to a court, and Mr. Bryant a law
yer thereof, telling the court it was not a legally
organized court. He thought to allow the pro
test entered was an admission of its correct
ness. [Some smiles.] Ho asked if the Speaker-
would entertain it. The Speaker said he desir
ed to hear it discussed; but he should at the
proper time rule that this House was organized
under act of Congress and military orders, and
that this resolution was improper.
O’Neal, of Lowndes, then said he concluded
by moving an indefinite postponement of the’
protest.
Mr. Bryant arose to speak.
Tho Speaker hero interrupted, by announcing
the appointment of ^ committee to co-operate
with the Senate committee. The following is
the committee: O’Neal, Harrison, of Franklin r
Harrison, of Hancock; Costin, and Harper, of
Sumter.
Mr. Bryant then asked that a telegram from
Senator Edmunds bo read by tbe Clerk.
Objection being made, the Speaker refused to
allow it.
Mr. Biyant then read the telegram.
[In this telegram, Mr. Edmunds said that the
cause of the Georgia bill of 1869 was the ad
mission of persons to seats who had not receiv
ed a majority of tho votes of their constituents.]
Mr. Bryant said as to the flings against his
Republicanism, he would say that Ms conduct
was regulated by a desire to save the State
from rain, and prevent illegal action.
He said he was not disrespectful. Senator
Edmonds and Senator Carpenter, Radical Re
publicans, had said just what his protest said,
and with a splendid burst of declamation ho
parodied Madame Rowland on her way to the
scaffold: “Oh, Republicanism! 'What crimes
are committed in thy name!"
Mr. Scott, of Floyd, here obtained the floor.
He said Gen. Terry had, in the telegram printed
in the. Constitution of yesterday, decided that
the House was acting illegally.
Mr. O’Neal interrupted.
Mr. Scott desired to know of Mm if he reoog
nized Gen. Terry as military commander of
Georgia, and a correct expounder of the Geor
gia Bill ? Answer yes or no!
Mr. O’Neal attempted to dodga a categorical
aaswe-r. " • • .
Mr. Scott told him ho knew he was the “Art
ful Dodger,” but ho couldn’t get out of tMs.
Mr: O’Neal refused thus to answer.
Mr. Scott said that the Radicals had appealed
to Congress on the ground that “the next high
est” had been seated. Congress had decided in
their favor, and now the Radicals, by admitting
the “now issue,” had violated that decision of
Congress. It was that violation for which the
protest was entered.
Mr. Harper, of Terrell, said tho House was
declared organized and that was settled; he
only contended for the right of the minority to
protest.
Mr. Rice, of Columbia, by way of a little di
gression, said that be esteemed, honored, yea,
higMy honored Mr. Bryant. Some objected to
such talk as tMs, and Mr. Rico proceeded to
say that he was in favor of allowing the protest
—it wa3 a personal privilege of the minority.
His understanding of Bullock’s and Terry’s or
ders about the “new issue,” was a positive com
mand, and he called the previous question be
cause he desired to stop that exoitement and
acquksce in military orders. He favored, how
ever, the allowance of the protest:
O’Neal, of Lowndes, as Chairman of Com
mittee to wait on the Governor and inform Mm
of the organization of the House and Senate,
reported teat they had waited on the Provision
al Governor, who said that he would refer the
information to tee General commanding; and
further, that-he would send a communication to
the Ilonso on IVednesday, 12 sr.
Mr. O'Neal teen moved to adjourn until teat
time.
Motion carried.
Mr. Soott, of Floyd, called for tee yeas and
nays.
TMs was allowed, when the call proceeded
with the following result:
Yeas 53—nays 49.
Mr. Tumblin said as he saw no necessity of
the House meeting horo until it was recognized
as organized, he voted yes. I
Many Radioals, including Golden, now chang
ed their votes to “yes.”
House adjourned till Wednesday 12 xr. o’clock.
[Mr. Hooks desires ns to state that tee one
with whom he is paired off, is the gentleman
from Houston, Mr. Matthews. We didn’t catch
tee name Saturday, hence the omission.]
The following is a copy of Provisional Gov.
Bollock's reply to Senate and House commit
tees:
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Commit
tees :
I am gratified to know that you have reached
an organization by the election of officers of tee
two Houses. I will communicate the informa
tion to the Major General Commanding the Dis
trict. A communication will be transmitted to
your honorable bodies on Wednesday next at 12
o’clock. Rufus B. Bullock,
Provisional Governor.
