Reported for the Telegraph and Meesenger.] When my report was sent off at 9^ o’clock last night, both houses were in session, and np to that time had not been recognized by Conley daring the day. He sent in three messages to the House after 10 o'clock, approving various acts—none of any great importance. This change of programme in “the Executive De partment” is doubtless dne to the adoption of a resolution by both houses that Monday was in cluded in the constitutional term of forty days, the last hdving fallen on Sunday. At any rate, this is Conley’s pretext. A resolution was passed by both house 8 last night declaring that when ever each branch of the Legislature passes by a two-thirds vote a resoln:ion to prolong the ses sion, it is the duty of all departments of the government to recognize the prolongation as regnlar and legal This resolution got to Con ley’s office five minutes before 12 o’clock.

He stated that the error was unintentional and that he was ready to rcfnnd the money. Messrs. Suead and Jackson said that the case was one withont politics in it, that Mr. Hillyer is a law-maker and oould not properly plead ignoranoe, that if the member who bad over drawn were a member of the Democratic party that nothing short of instant expnlsion would have been the report.

Tho report represents the condition of the State as greatly improved and promising in all respeots. Mr. Hillyer moved that 100 oopies of the re port bo printed, and that it be made the speoial order for to-morrow. Carried. Mr. Simmons offered a resolution, that whereas, the press of the State, in consideration of ita incalculable contribution to the political, moral and material progress and prosperity of the State, has for several years past been ex empted from taxation; and whereas, the press is now required, by direction of the Comptroller General, to pay taxes, not only for the present year bnt also for past years, therefore, be it Resolved, That the press of the State be re lieved from tbe operation of the tax laws, to await the action of the General Assembly upon the matter at its next regnlar session, beginning on tbe seoond Wednesday in January, 1872. Mr. Hillyer favored tbe resolution and hoped that newspapers would be exempt. Air. Reese opposed tbe resolution. A similar proposition had failed at the last session of the Legislature. He knows of no principle whioh onght to exempt newspapers from taxation.— Large amounts of capital are invested in this way whioh yields remunerative incomes. News papers do not demand the fostering oare of the itateas anew institntion. We are told that they are the eduoators of the people, bat they are at leaat no more so than the preachers, teachers and lawyers of the oonntry, and they are not exemst from taxation. Mr. Hillyer agreed with the gentleman, that no elaes of men do more to educate and elevate tbe people than the lawyers, bnt he was mis taken in considering publication of a newspa- itution, for his experience in bad proved to bm the dent on tbe oommittee to investigate the con- duot of the anditing oommiaaion of the Western aud Allantio Railroad, asked to be discharged from that oommitteGfff* .Jq*-'; The President stated that he appointed the committee with a view to the fitness of the sev eral members, and having exeroised tbe respon sible duty of appointment he was unwilling to discharged any member. The Senate, by vote, consented to the dis charge of Mr. Brown from the oommittee. On motion of Air. Hinton tbe Senate then ad journed until 10 am. House.—House met at 10 a. m—Speaker Smith in the chair. Prayer by Rev. Air. Jones. The roll was called. Journal of yesterday was read and approved, j-WWwvtaK; mifcun j < Mr. Phillips, chairman of the Committee On Privileges and Elections, moved to take np the report of the committee on the case of Mr. Tar ver, member from Baker oounty, who was charged with being a non-resident of that oounty. Tbe evidenoe showed that Mr. Tarver pays tax, is sued and sues, and serves on juries in that county. The report of the oommittee, whioh declares that Mr. Tarver is entitled to his seat, was adopted. A resolution by Mr. Hndson to authorize the Hon. Mr. Glover to draw the per diem and mileage of Hon. Wright Brady, deceased, for the benefit of the latter’s family was adopted. The tax bill was taken np and several Senate amendments were concurred in. The report of tbe committee on Privileges and Elections on the oase of Air. Sargeant, Re publican member from Coweta county, was taken up. The evidenoe showed that Mr. Sargeant was a captain in the war with Mexioo, that he was a Justice of the Peace afterwards, that Mr. Sar geant drilled n company of minute-men for the Confederate army, bnt that he expressed him self as opposed to the war daring the latter part of it. The report of the oommittee was that he is inelligible under the 14th amendment Messrs. Scott Simmons of Gwinnett and Rnssell opposed the adoption of the report, urging that Mr. Sargeant was not ineligible un. der the 14th amendment, and that the principal and only voluntary aots he rendered daring the war was to feed helpless and starving women and children. Pending argument by Mr. Phillips, chairman of the committee, in support of the majority report, the House adjourned until 10 a. m. to morrow. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL Weekly Review or tke Market.
