Atlanta, April 28.—Senate—Brock haying the
floor proceeded with an argument defending the
resolution offered as a substitute for the resolu
tions of Highbee and Hungerford, calling for a com
mittee, composed of two on part of a the Senate, to
join a committee of three on part of the HQtise
authorizing them to select three men,not members of
tho General Assembly, who sliali bo added to the
committee. Tho object of hia resolution was to
appoint a committee to investigate the condition
of the Western and Atlantic Railroad, and require
them to make a fan, fair and complete statement
of gross earnings of tho road, its necessary ex
penditures, its net earnings, what disposition was
made with tho money, number of hands employed,
number of hands necessary to carry on the road,
giving power to send for persons and papers'and to
administer oaths. < • ■ *
Brock amended by striking out the two outside
members of the committee. The vote having been
taken upon tho resolution, it was lost.. .
Hungerford’s resolution came up, viz:, That a
committee of three from the Senate, and five from
the House, be appointed to investigate the charges
against the Governor, and inquire into the manage
ment of the State Road, its fnnds, etc. Lost.
Higbee’s resolution, referring tho matter to the
committee appointed to wait nponthe Governor,
paseed.
Burns made some eloquent remarks, calling upon
the Senate to decide what they wanted done; how
they would do it, take some action, do something
and adjoum. Had he the power he would pass the
appropriation act, tax bill and go home. It was
wrong and unjust to the people to linger here do
ing nothing, taking no action and consuming time,
and he was tired of it. He desired to see the Sen
ate this hour, decide what they thought best to
be done; what business considered best to be
transacted and then the body go to work, do what
legislation was necessary and adjourn.
Bradley moved that thoee colored members de
clared elected by General Meade be paid the same
amount drawn by white members daring the time
they were excluded. t t
Brock moved that Bradley’s resolution be amen
ded by excepting the Senator from the First Dis
trict. 1 . 1
In giving his reasons why pay should not be given
to the Senator from tho 1st District, he conceded
the right of the other colored Senators to pay, bnt
took the gronnd that Bradley was not a member of
the Senate, and consequently could draw no pay.
His right to a seat was yet to be tried.
Bradley ineisted that the record did notehow that
be had been expelled.
Higbee introduced a resolution, as a substitute to
Bradley's, that Campbell and Wallace, having been
deprived of seats on account of color, be allowed
per diem and mileage due during the time they
were excluded. I ■
Bradley insisted that, if these resolutions were
carried out, deceit was being practiced while he had
been sworn in. If objections were made to his be
ing reseated, at the time he took the oath these ob-
objoctions should have been made and charges
brought agaiuBt him; that he was not indebted to
the kindness of the Senate for his seat, but to an
act of Congress; and he read from the act of Con
gress that no person conld be excluded on account
of race, color, previous condition, or servitude—
servitude, which may have been performed on a
plantation, in a State prison, or in hell.
Bowers moved to lay the resolutions, with the
amendments, on the table. Passed.
House—Phillips resumed his argument against
the adoption of the report of the committee.
Armstrong made a labored effort in behalf of the
report of the committee, and sustained tho sugges
tions of the Governor.
Sisson wished to know why it was that if the
act of December 22d had been fully complied with
by the Georgia Legislature, why Congress still fails
to admit the State ? What was the matter at Wash
ington ? What further was necessary for this body
to do?
Rice stated that last year ho was ashamed to
walk the streets of Augusta or Atlanta, and let it be
known that he was a member of the Legislature.
Warren aBked him why he wished to continue the
extra term of office two years loDger than elected.
He would offer an amendment to the report of the
committee that the adoption of said report should
not be construed so as to prevent the Legislature
from changing, modifying, altering, or amending
the tax ordinance of 1869.
Scott offered the following substitute for the re
port of the committee:
Resolved, by the General Assembly, that John D.
Pope, Amos T. Akerman, R. L. Mott, John Collier,
Geo. N. Lester, be and are hereby appointed a com
mittee charged with tho duty, and clothed with tho
power to investigate fully the management and oper
ations of the Westem’and Atlantio Railroad, from
the'flret day of January, 1969, to this date, to ascer
tain what have been the gross earnings of said road,
and working expenses of the same.
That said committee be required to inquire into
the charges of illegal appropriation of State fnnds,
bonds or property, by Bollock, made by Treasurer
Angier. What offices within the appointing power
of the Governor have been used to corruptly influ
ence votes of members of the General Assembly.
What railroad bonds, especially the Cartersville and
Van Wert road, have been illegally endorsed.by the
Governor and used for unauthorized purposes.—
What warrants have been drawn by the Governor
upon the Treasury, to pay rewards offered for the
apprehension of suspected criminals. Also to in
vestigate tho charges against. Treasurer, Angier
made by Bullock. t ( ( , •.
Resolved, further, that tho General Assombly ex
tend its time ten days, and procood to consider and
pasB the tax bill and the appropriation bill for > the
year 1870, and adjourn sine die.
The Speaker ruled the substitute out of order.
Lee objected to the amendment of Warren, as
unnecessary. • * ,
Warren supported his amendment with a pointed
and pungent speech.
Simms said that one of the members of the House
stole the Constitution of the colored Society, at
Savannah, and altered it to suit bis own tate, and
placed himself as President of it.
Bryant arose to the question of privilege. He said’
If the speaker referred to him tho charge was,utterly
false. ■ ) - ;
Anderson favored the conclusion of the commit
tee, and called for the previous question. / 11
On the adoption of the report of the committee,
Scott called forthe yeas and nays. Yeas 88; nays
84.
Darnell moved that the House concur in the reso
lutions adopted by the Senate.
8cott offered a resolution abont the appointment
of the Committee of Investigation.
Scott addressed the House in behalf of his amend
ment. He was willing to yield to the motion to ad
journ until 3 o’clock, bnt not to 10 o’clock to-mor
row. The extremists wanted to adjourn until 10
o’clock to-morrow.
Darnell arose to make personal explanation. He
read the proceedings of the Honse of yesterday.
With characteristic cunning, the Governor sug
gested that though this Legislature vtas an illegal
body, it should adopt the appropriation act of 1869,
the 23d section of which gives him unlimited power
to rob tho treasury. > . • - • ,
Darnell—We propose to investigate that rqb- ;
beiy. / -i 1 . ■ I ! (
Scott—Yes, but will the Governor agree to ap
point a committee of five unbiased gentlemen out
side of this body.
Darnell—Ho will.
Scott—I have only your word for it.
Darnell—It’s not very good authority I admit.
Scott—I am glad to see that you will acknowledge
the truth.
Darnell replied in language stated:
Darnell making the reply did not so under
stand the question, and now stated that he did not
intend to intimate by hia answer that .the Governor
would favor tho appointment of a Committee out
side of the Legislature.
Scott continued. The Legislature had appointed
a commit tee outside of its members; the committee
appointed to examine the condition of the State
Road, of Major Campbell Wallace, Hon. Mark A.
Cooper, and Col. £. Hulbert. Members of tho Gen
eral Assembly were carried before strangers, and
their eligibility investigated; a presiding officer was
endorsed who was not a member of this body, and
his arbitrary ruling was sustained. The honesty
and integrity of thoee men cannot be doubted.
A motion was made to lay Scott’s resolution on
the table. Yeas 63, nays 40. The vote will be giv
en to-morrow.
Turner offered a resolution of sympathy for the
bereaved by the sad disaster at Richmond—which
was unanimously adopted.
Hall offered a resolution asking Congress to re
move the political disabilities of the people. Not
acted upon. • n i • •? i f. >ui V!i iclotlli
The Houeo adjourned until to-morr6w. '' !
Atlanta, April 29.—Senate— r Brock offered a res
olution requesting the Superintendent of the Wes
tern and Atlantio Railroad to discharge a member
of the Legislature employed by hinn r > fxiu . ; 'i
, Harris, Chairman of the^Committeeto whom vtaa
referred a communication from Bullock, aeked Brock
to withdraw his resolution, as he had a report to
offer covering all tho ground. The resolutidn.offer-
ed andTeadprovided: First. Fpr thp re-enactment
of the appropriation act of 1860 for the first two
quarters of the present year. f
Harris moved the adoptiofi of this portion of the
report. Lost. '
Candler moved to amend by excepting the 22d
section of the appropriation act. He thought, first,
that money could not be’ appropriated by resolu
tion ; second, that such actor .hill could not origi
nate in the Senate; it. was unconstitutional and
void. General Terry had physical power to order
money payed as he wanted, and he proposed to do
it as the Legislature provided. This section allowed
the Governor to exercise his own discretion on ac
count of any one, to any amount. Gov. Bollock
had drawn from the Treasury, since last session,
over $100,000; under this.section the Treasurer’s
books showed it; the Comptroller's report—un
published, though printed—also showed it. s Half
dozen Secretaries, to do GovernorBnllock’s-writing,
in Washington, was not intended to be covered by
this section. , . : •' ''
Wooten objected to the entire resolution on con
stitutional grounds. r .■ .
Harris suggested that Terry merely wanted an in
dication of the will of the people, that we were not
acting under the Constitution of Georgia.
Wooten continued: Senators had sworn to sup
port the Constitution, and there was no power on
earth that conld absolve them from it.
Higbee interrupted, and said he supposed that
they had been relieved from oath.
Wooten asked, Who relieved you, Gen. Terry?
When did he get power of absolution ? Ho ap
pealed to the Senators not to stultify themselves.
Hinton desired to do his duty to his constituents
by objecting to the measure, First, because it was
a resolution, not a bill; 2d, it originated in the
Senate, not in the House; 3d, being a resolution,
It was not required to be yead three times on three
successive days. He said it was an unconstitutional
measure. They had sworn to support the Consti
tution. The measure could not be constitutionally
passed; why do it otherwise? The22d section is
as follows: In all cases where performance of ser
vice or labor is required by law, for which no pro
vision is made for compensation, tho Governor is
authorized to draw a warrant upon the Treasurer
for such sums as, in his judgment, may be just
compensation. > i
Our Governor had told them there was only about
$7,000 to fall dne. | .
Candler said, then do not jeopardize the State by'
this remarkable power. The credit of the State
will not suffer that amount-
Candler said that materially tho objection was,
there was no provision as to how the Governor
should provide for protecting this credit
Harris preferred this to all other resolutions, and
moved the previous question. Carried. A division
was called for. It stood 16 against 17.
Smith, of the 7th District, spoke in favor of the
resolution. t , .
Matthews said hewonldvote for tho resolution.
Bullock stands before the countiy charged with
gravo crimes. He would not believe any man guilty
until convicted. ’ • ’ > ■
Wooten opposed the measure because it proposed
to confer on the Governor the power to raise funds
for some undefined and unascertained means, for
the purpose of paying an uncertain and doubtful
amount of indebtedness; it would confer blindly
upon one man unlimited power to sack Georgia.
He offered a resolution that this resolution he re
committed,with instructions to ascertain the amount
to be paid, and the wherewithal to pay It.’ No
right minded man can object to ibis. He called
for the amendment. This section he particularly
objected to. It was too general; the appropriation
should be specified. 1 •
Nuually said he did not take the position that
money could be appropriated by resolution; this
was not an appropriation, it was merely the expres
sion of the opinion of the Legislature; he did not
doubt Terry’s right to appropriate and order paid,
this money; he had the might He proposed to
change theresolntion by requesting Torry to enforce
the appropriation Act or 1869 for the first two quar
ters of the present, year. The previous question
was put on the amendment—yeas 9; nays 28. Main
question—yeas 23; nays 11- (
The second resolution in the report was than
read, which extended the appropriation act until
otherwise ordered by the General Assembly—yeas
22; nays 12.
Third. Tho resolution authorizing the Governor
to provide for the payment of, the interest on the
public debt falling due this year, and protecting the
public credit. > I
Burns asked Harris how the Provisional Gover
nor could sign bills of credit.
Harris said he did not come here to be catechised.
He wanted to show where tho steam struck tho
wheel of the Committee,
f Bums said they ought to let the resolutions alone,
and not tamper with the State credit until you know
whether you are pig, puppy or whelp. If you
are provisional the Governor has no right to do this.
The State’s credit cannot suffer by a short delay
until our status is determined. Bums showed up
the folly of the resolution. The bonds authorized
the Treasurer to pay interest on the bonds. This
resolution allowed the Governor to issue bonds. He
moved to lay the resolution on the table. The Chair
ruled that this would cany the whole aeries of ree-
4+^W*' - 1 ' * 1 t t ■ > - I
Bums withdrew ids motion. 11 • 1
Harris moved the previous question, bnt with
drew it for Nunnally’s benefit.
A motion was here made to adjourn.
Nunnally was willing to strike it ont but it should
not be referred again to the committee.
Holcomb moved to strike it ont.
Harris objected and said he wanted it to, go out
to the world as the voice of the people of Georgia,
be the Government permanent or provisional.—
He was for sustaining the public credit. " [ o I '■
The Senate then'adjourned. 1 ’ ’ 1 -'
House.—Porter offered a resolution to pay per
diem to 25 oolored members of the Houee who were
expelled on the 3d of September, 1868, for 32 'days
and mileage both ways for the session of 1868, and
66 days per diem for the session of 1869 and mileage
both ways. ■ . 1 . 1
yant’s substitute resolution, that the Auditing
Committeo be instructed to audit the amounts due
iled members for,tlie Balance of the session of
1868 and 1869, and the Treasured be directed to pay
the amounts. ,Biyant objected to thp censure
eakt upon members who voted to expel colored
members in Porter’s resolution; one of the ablest,
clearest headed Republicans in Georgia, took the
position that under the Constitution colored men,
not eligible, could not bold office. Colored teen did'
hqld Office and referred the matter to the Supreme
Court’ of Georgia. That body decided that they
were, and the people acquiesced. Congroes took
no action on this matter, which he regretted; cited
numerous precedents to establish the fact that they
were entitled to pay for time at expulsion. Por-
tor’s resolution assert* that colored members were
expelled solely on account of color.
Congress compelled the Legislature to reseat
them. Tne Legislature would have reseated them
by a majority vote, had Congress not acted. The
resolution asserted that the Legislature admitted,
by reseating the expelled members, that they had
acted wrong, contrary to the Constitution and the
law. Porter accepted the amendment of Bry
ant. .... . _ ,
Costin offered a subetitute.resolution that a com
mittee of five be appointed to consider the subject
of the pay of expelled members, and report their
action to this body;
The yetB and nays were taken on the motion to
lay upon the table, with the following reeult: yeas
73 ; nays 44.
Price offered a resolution that the election for
n amber s of the Honse haying taken place under
ation of the Governor, for the'counties of
l, Marion, Mitchell, Telfair and Irwin, that
the members elected be allowed to come forward,
take the usual oath of office, and occupy their seat*.
Tweedy thought none but those declared elected
by Meade and found eligible could be admitted to
seats, and moved to postpone it indefinitely.
The Chair stated.that if Georgia was admitted to
the Union he would entertain the proposition. [. i
Motion to lay on the table was lost—ye»B46;
nays72. , " v ; 1 ' i- : 7?!. .
The question then recurred upon tho adoption of
the resolution.
Tweedy raised the point of order that the House
was organized under the reconstruction acts, and
that none could be admitted to seats except thoee
elected in April, 1808—overuled.
The question being called for the vote stood,—yeas

Brooks introduced a resolution ordering the Su
perintendent of the Western and Atlantic Railroad to
discharge members of the Legislature employed on
said road, which was taken np.
Hungerford introduced a substitute that the Su
perintendent of the State Road discharge all sons,
brothers and relatives of members of the Legisla
ture. 1 He consumed the balance of the session in
a long speech about corruption and the officials of the
State Road employing Northern men and carpet
baggers ; claiming that all accidents were dne to the
employment of these irresponsible and ignorant
men, putin to position by a power higherthan Blodg
ett. That Blodgett is helpless and not responsible.
He threatens to expose the whole machinery of the
State Road working.
Adjourned till Monday.
A motion was made to reconsider the action of
the Honse, yesterday, in reference to the resolntion
of Porter. Motion to reconsider prevailed.
Darnell moved to reconsider the action of the
House resolntion. i ■■
Price was for admitting certain members elected
to fill vacancies.
Scott called the attention of the Speaker to the
fact that on similar occasions he had ruled the mo
tion to reconsider out of order.
The Bpea r did not recollect that the point had
been mado ore. If it was, he was .acting under
instructions from Terry.
Price stated that on a previous occasion he had
referred to members immediately sworn in, conse
quently the motion to reconsider conld effect noth
ing in this instance—they had not been sworn in.
Darnell proposed to reconsider, hut did not desire
to exclude any connty in Georgia from representa
tion in the House. He believed that under the re
construction laws they could now he admitted; this
was a Provisional Government and it was not in the
province of the House to go outside the rulings of
tho Speaker. When admitted, Congress would vote
to admit these members, but could not at this time.
Harper opposed reconsideration on the gronnd
that the action of the House on the question was
right and proper, and ought not to be reconsidered.
He was surprised that gentlemen should clamor
about the legality of the thing. Under the direction
of Meade Bollock issued writs of election for the
counties of Irwin and Telfair.: It virtually extended
Meade’s order; why then could they not be sworn
in as legal representatives of those counties? He
didn’t believe the gentleman from Pickens when he
said he desired to promote reconstruction.
Pried opposed a reconsideration. Would they seat
men lawfully elected under the proclamation of
Bullock ? As those men were not entitled to admis
sion and would prove obstructions to reconstruction,
then those who opposed it were likewise obstructions
to reconstruction. They had elected three U. S.
Senators without any authority, but opposed seating
legally elected representatives. He was a recon
struction Democrat, attempting, in good faith, to
work ont the salvation of the State and admit these
representatives in Congress. Ho could then regard
the State as totally reconstructed. The motion to
reconsider prevailed. Yeas 72; nays 63. • • •
Porter moved to take np the resolution relating to
the per diem of colored members. LobL
Belcher offered a resolution authorizing the pay
ment of the members of the late Constitutional
Convention. i .
A seat on the floor of the Rouse was tendered
to Governor Bard, of Idaho.
The Senate resolution, referring to the 181st sec.
tion of the Code, was adopted.
Bryant desired to introduce a bill, but waa in?
formed by the Speaker that he was not in order.
An appeal was taken. [The result of the appeal
our correspondent fails to give—Eds.]
The Speaker stated that "after consulting with
Gen. Terry he had come to the conclusion that the
tax and appropriation bills could be passed by reso
lution, and it was better not to take them np seri
atim, as he had at first intimated they would be.
A message from the Senate announced that it had
adopted the resolution continuing the appropriation
bill of 1869 till July, 1870; also, a resolution con-
tinning the tax act of the same year until otherwise
determined, and others reported in the Senate pro-
oaefllnfc*. •., ,■ / ,
Warren offered a resolntion that— ;
Whereas, Bullock, Angier and Blodgett have been
