Jlilledgeville, Oct. 28tb, 1365.

To the Voters of the 20th Senatorial
District.
It ia conceded o» all sides, that
Baldwin is entitled to the Senator in
the approaching Legislature, Hancock
and Washington having each in turn
been honored with the choice. At the
instance of many friends, I authorized
my name to be announced as a can
didate. In the same issue of the Mil-
ledgeville press which contains the
announcement, I find a call for a
County Convention ou Saturday next,
confessedly made by the friends of
Capt. Lewis H. Kenan, a galiant and
meritorious gentleman, who is alsa in
the field. It is deemed quite certain
no other candidates will present them
selves. I at once agreed to go into
and abide th« nomination, provided
that by joint and public notice, a reg
ular ballot for two or three hours be
had upon the day, as in case of reg
ular elections. This would allow all
the citizens to vote at leisure, and
! avoid the strife and confusion incident
to mere chance meetings of the peo*
pie. This proposal was declined as
violative of usage, which may be true;
but it was certainly fair. I also pro
posed and urged to determine this
matter of County preference by the
vote at the regular election of the
15th inst. Or in other words, I pro
posed that even if I were elected by
the aggregate vote of the District,
and defeated in Baldwin county, I
would instantly resign, provided my
competitor would do the same, under
like circumstances. This would allow
full time, lacking one day, for a new

now in session, will settle, at least for
the present, the principal questions
which agitate the public mind. It only
remains to re-adjust the entire civil
machinery of the State to the new
order of things. The task involves
delicate and onerous responsibilities,
and I can only promise, that if elect

little of experience and ability I pos

and permanent civil government.

The ordinance was adopted.
AN ORDINANCE
To render null and void all debts of this
State created for tha purpose of carry
ing on the late war against the United
States.
Be it ordained by the people: of Georgia,
in Convention Assembled, That all the
debts contracted or incurred by the State
of Georgia, either as a separate State, or
a6 a member of the late partnership or con
federacy of States, styled the Confeder
ate States of America, for the purpose of
carrying on the late war of secession
against tha .United States of America, or
AN ORDINANCE
To prevent the levy and sale of the prop
erty of debtors under execution, until
the adjournment of the first session of
the next Legislature or until the Legis
lature shall otherwise,
direct, if before that time.
Be it ordained by the people of Georgia
in Convention Assembled, That there shall
be no levy or 6ale of property of defend
ants in this State under execution, found
ed ou any judgment, order or decree, ex
cept executions for cost or rules against
officeis for money, and except in cases
where defendants resident within the State
have absconded, are absconding, or about
to remoVe their property without the lim
its of any county in this State, until the
adjournment of the first session of the next
Legislature, or until the Legislature shall
otherwise direct, if before that time.
Be it further ordained, Any officer, or
other person, violating this ordinance, shall
be guilty of trespass, and liable to be sued
in any court of this State having proper
jurisdiction, and the measure of damage
shall be the injury resulting to the injured
party by reason of said trespass.
Be it further ordained, That the statutes
and limitations now of force in this State
be, and the same is hereby suspended in
all cases affected by this ordinance, until
the adjournment of the first session of the

And be it further ordained. That the
statute of limitation in all cases, civil and
criminal, be, and the same are hereby de
clared to he, and have been suspended
from the 19th January, 1S61, and shall so
continue until civil government is fully
restored, or until the Legislature shall
otherwise direct.
Whereas, Many portions of this State
are unprotected by the immediate pres
ence of any of tho military forces of tho
United States, aud there exists an uneasi
ness in the public mind, under the appre
hension that civil order may ke disturbed
by evil-minded persons associating them
selves together, or otherwise, for purposo
of violence, and that the law may be
obstructed in its execution, for want of
adequate police force to enable the civil
officers of the State to enforce the same :
And Whereas, this feeling of insecurity
tends greatly to retard the resumption and
prosecution of the Various peaceful and in
dustrial pursuits, of the people necessary
for their prosperity and happiness ; there
fore.
Resolved, by the people of Georgia in Con
vention Assembled, That bis Excellency,
the Governor, be, and is hereby earnestly
requested to provide, by proclamation to
the people of Georgia, to be issued as
early as practicable, for the formation, in
every county in this State, of one or more
militia or volunteer companies, to act as a
police force to suppress violence, to pre
serve order, and to aid the civil officers of
this State in the enforcement of the laws
thereof under such regulations consistent
Be it ordained by the pr&ple of Georgia,
in Convention Assembled, That the voters
of those couuties of the State of Georgia,
in which from the short notice given, elec
tions for members of the General Assem
bly cannot be held on the 15th inst, as
provided by the Constitution, be and they
are hereby authorized to hold said elec
tions on Saturday the 25th inst, and that
the members elected as aforesaid, be al
lowed to take their seats at the earliest !
practicable day after the General Assent- j
bly shall convene unde.r the same rules !
and regulations as if they were elected •
on the day first aforesaid.
And be it further ordained, That three j
hundred copies of this ordinance be print
ed for the use of the members of this
Convention.
Mr. Jenkins, of Richmond : Mr. Presi
dent, I offer the following resolutions :
Whereas, under the acts of the Congress
of the United States, and the instructions
of the Treasury department, the assessors
for the State of Georgia are about to as
sess a tax upon real estate, upon the valua
tion of I860, and whereas, the value of
that description of property now, when
the assessment is about to be made, is much
below that of the year 1S60, and will op
erate injuriously upon the agricultural in
terest of the State, now greatly depressed,
therefore, *
Resolved, 1. That a committee of five
including the President of Ae Convention,
as efiainnan, be appointed by the Presi
dent, whose duty it shall be to memorial
ize the lion. Hugh McCulloch, Secretary
of the Treasury, requesting a suspension
of the assessment until the meeting of the
Congress of the United States, and that,
if compatible with his sense of justice, he
recommend such a modification of the in
ternal revenue laws as will allow the as
sessment for the tax of 1S64 to -be made
upon the present value of real estate.
2. That said co umittee place the me
morial, when prepared, in the hands of the
Provisional Governor, with tho request
that he forward it the Secretary of the
Treasury, and give it the influence of his
recommendation, if it comports with his
sense of propriety.
The resolutions were adopted.
In view of the changed relations of the
citizens of this State to the large number
of persons recently held by them as slaves,
but now recognized as freedmen, and of
the imperative obligation resting upon the
former to give efficient protection to the
latter, and to promote among them the
observance af law and older, habits of in
dustry and moral improvement.
1. Be it resolved, That a commission of
five persons, viz : Messrs. Ebenezer Starns
of Richmond, Linton Stephens of Hancock,
Win. Hope Hull of Clarke, Logan E.
Bleckly of Atlanta, and Lewis N. Whit
tle of Bibb, be aud they are hereby ap
pointed forthwith to prepare and report to
the Governor at the earliest practical day,
to be laid before the General Assembly at
the next session, a code or system of laws
to carry into effect the 5th paragraph of
the 3rd section of the 2nd article, aud the
3rd clause of the second section of the
4th article of‘ the constitution adopted
by this Convention, and that they be re
quested to meet at Milledgeville on the
13th inst.
2. That any three of 6aid commissioners
may act, and may in their discretion fill
vacancies in their own body occasioned by
the non-acceptance or resignation of any
member of it, and that these resolutions
be communicated by the secretary to such
commission.
3. That the General Assembly be re
quested to make provision for their com
pensation.
The resolutions were adopted.
