The selfishness of wealth in this, seems to be taking

justice and the most sacred institutions of the coun-

ow compelled to pay to the people of the Eastern ami
_!ort!icrn States. It is true, that the duty upon salt has
been reduc' d, not however because it was unconstitution

It is perhaps the most singular result of our peculiar

The resolution of the Legislature directing the appro
priation of five hundred dollars fur furnishing and re

before it was discovered that that sum had not bien in-

has not been expended bv the inspectors, for reasons
which are stated fully in their reports. It is to he regret
ted that any cause should have produced this effect. Ex

instead f-.f reforming convicts, returns them to society
callous to the sense of reputation, improved in the art of
iril!liny, and fearless of the consequences which the law
att iclies to the cumuii-si->n of crime. I. is believed that
the tiest correction for this inefficiency of our mode of
punishment, is to hr found in the solitary confinement of
each convict at all times, except when at labor, and
me tis. It is therefrre recommended, that the law of
1329, be so amended, as to carry its provisions upon this
subject into execution. Much useful information has
been collected and published by the industrious and be
nevolent iff irts of the Prison Discipline Society of Bos
ton. in relation to Penitentiary punishment. It might be
list ful to direct the purchase of a considerable number of
Sts reports. The laws fur the regulation of hr. internal

manner as to secure discipline in the guard.

Toe people of this State have not permitted the policy ; f
e«r Uttereiry Instutions, to be questioned. They huvfe by
an imperative constitutional enactim nt, required of the
Legislature, that tbe arts and sciences be promoted bv
donations to the college and the establishment of other
seminaries of learning. Our College continues in the
same prosperous slate w hich has distinguished it fur ir a-

bad not the right to receive other evidence to supply de
fects and explain doubts, Ac. &c.
Messrs. Cobb, King, W atson, and Stewart supported
the substitute by very spirited and clear argument—con
tending that the Senate is by tbe Constitution the judge
of life Elections and Returns—that tbey will look into the
merits and truth of the ease—-tba! tbe will of the people
and their right to be represented are the great principles
to be looked to; and if the Senate are convinced that one
of the applicants has a majority of legal votes, they are
bound to support his claims, by w hatever satisfactory evi
dence this may appear, and will not defeat the applicant
and bis constituents of their constitutional rights for the
want of mere form, &c &c.
Mr. Robinson had some doubts as to the constitutional
question, and therefore felt bound to oppose the substi
tute.
Mr. Branhatn moved an amendment to the substiiiite,
by which it should appear 11 the Resolution that Wood
was elected by the legal returns, which was rejected—
years 29, Nays 40.
The question was then taken on receiving the substitute,
which was carried—Yeas 39, Nays 30.
The substituted Report was thca agreed to without a
division.
So it was decided that Major Wood was duly elected
the Senator of M‘I;itosh county—whereupon Mr. Cobb
moved that Jacob \\ ood be admitted to take the oath pre
scribed by the Constitution—which was accordingly done,
and Mayor Wood took his seat as a Senator.

Laws of this State, so far as regards the count; of Gwio-
nett.
Mr. Daniell, of Madison—A biH to alter and amend
the third and seventh sections of the first articles of the
I Constitution.
the legality or furnialily of tbe return from the election
holden at Groom's old place, or thft Sand llilE. The
election holden at two other places in the county, Darir-n
and Melnto-h’s appeared to be regular. At the Sand
Hills it appeared that 40 votes only were given, and 41
were tallied down on the sheet. It appeared also that
there were no Clerks regularly appointed, but that the
magistrates themselves kept the tally. The return from
that District was not regularly certified.
In support of the substitute, asserting Wood’s right to
his seat, it appeared in evidence by the affidavit of Archi
bald Baggs, Esq. that a vote was called for Brailsford and
scored tor him—il was badly written, and on farther in
spection was discovered to be for Wood. The error was
not then corrected—but remained—and thus one more
vole was counted out than was actually given in. Affi
davits of 29 persons (of tht 40 who vote at that place)
were read, stating that they had voted for Wood. There
was another affidavit of Justices Biggs and Horn explain
ing the discre)Nincy between the number of voters and the
number of scotes. It appeared by the affidavit of Mr.
A. Lefils that Maj. Wood had proposed to make the votes
a tie between him and Braitsford.
The certificates of both tbe applicants were informal—
Btailsford’s was certified by two—Wood’s by one Justice.
The law requires three. Tbe votes polled at the Sand
Hills, gave Wood a tjajority of two over Brailsford.
After tiie evidence was rcad,| Mr. Watson moved that
tbe applicants have letve to be heard in their own cases.—
The President decided that if was contrary to precedent.
So they were not heatd.
On the question being put—will tte Senate receive the
substitute in lieu of tte original Report,
A spirited debate arote, in which Messrs. Sayre, Nes
bit, and BranbMk opposed the receiving ofthe substitute.
