of less impoitanoe, dated at Poeito Principe,

ished; because the country failed to support ns
and foreigners failed to send ns aicL The gov
ernment of Spain is now sufficiently stiong to
maintain the integrity, of the territory. The
document further says, that insurgents now in
the field are mostly negroes under the leader
ship of Ignacio Agraloate, who rebelled against
Cespedes. Not a house is left standing
in the whole country between Los Tomas
and MoroD, and the desolation that prevails is
terrible. All hopes of the insurgents succeed
ing politically have been given np, and the des
truction to the country has been rapidly goiDg
on. The negroes are working to make them
selves masters of the situation, and are d imi
nant in the districts lately held by the insur
rectionists. The surrendered insurgents who
signed the document at Los Tam as protest

sider the salvation of the country &3 obtained

party. Fifteen thousand insurgents have sur
rendered during the past year in the Central
department, state individually and collectedly
that they are ready to perform whatever duty

PROCEEDINGS OF TUESDAY.
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. Both
houses adjourned at 12 o'clock till 10 a m. this

from “the Executive Department.”

General Assembly shall be audited and ap
proved by less than two members of the audit
ing committee, and that the Treasurer be

proved in any other manner. Adopted.
Mr. Reese offered a resolution, that it is not
the design of the General Assembly to deny

1868, ’69 and ’70 can be collected, and a sale
made of the State bonds now designated is

the amount of the school fund will suffioe to pay

and 6th sections were adopted as reported.
Air. Simmons moved to amend section 7th by
exempting newspapers.
Mr. Bruton hoped the amendment would not
prevail, because be saw no reason why news
papers should bo exempted more than other in-
stum ions.
Mr. Reese opposed the amendment. News
papers are not a new institntion, which should
be_fostered by the State, and already their pro
prietors have a great many privileges enjoyed
by no other class; and farther, as the Senator
from the Eighth had said, a large part of the
press had been nsed for a very bad purpose.
Mr. Burns objected to the amendment. Large
amounts of money are invested in newspapers
and ptinting material, and no reason can be
shown why capital so employed should be ex
empt
Mr. Simmons supported the amendment The
newspapers have been for years exempt They
are the great moral and religions ednoators of

couraged. The amendment s as lost.

definite postponement of a bill to allow married
women to recover damages from persons who
sell liquor to their husbands while intoxicated.
Air. Russell moved to lay the motion to re
consider on the t .ble.
Mr. Heidt favored tbe motion to reconsider
and argued that it would throw protection
around innooent women.
Mr. Wofford, of Bartow, made a good speech
in favor of the motion to reconsider.
Messrs. Russell and Hudson argued that the
bill would be impracticable—would not benefit
the class it was intended for, and would amount
to persecutions for the sake of making money
by a low order of people.
On the motion to reconsider, the yeas and
nays were called: yeas 61; nays 62,
Messrs. Snead, Jaokson and Bacon, a special
committee to whom was referred a charge that

had drawn mileage for 1000 miles, reported that
after a careful investigation the oommittee find
that said H. L. Hillyer has drawn $80 in excess
of his legitimate mileage. The committee re
commended that said member be required to
refund the money, and that he be brought be
fore the bar of this House and repremanded,
and that in the event of his refusal to comply
that he be expel 1 ed.
Air. Hillyer said that he bad never traveled
the route before and did not know tbe d stances,
that he examined the Comptroller-General’s re
port and fonnd that the member f.-om the
county of Camden had drawn m<l age for one
thousand mileage last year, and that he did
not know until afterwards that bis predecessor
came by way of Savannah. 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.
The report was adopted.
Mr. Hillyer came before the bar, refunded
the money to the Chairman of the Anditing
Oommittee and waa reprimanded by Speaker
Smith.
On motion of Mr. Peirce, Mr. Hillyer was
allowed to speak farther of the case.
Mr. Hillyer said that he had not denied that
there was a mistake, bnt the charge that it was
intentional was nnfonnded.

the Auditing Committee to carefully examine
all accounts before approving them. Adopted.

Tbe journal was read and approver,.
The report of the Committee on the State of

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

The roll was called. Journal of yesterday

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

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
