BRYANT’S PROTEST.
In the report of the House pro
ceedings yesterday, allusion is made
to the protest of Capt. J. E. Bryant.
As part of the history of the times,
we give it below. In the course of
the argument, Capt. Bryant read the
following telegram from Senator
Edmunds :
Washington, Jan. 28. Col. J. E. Bry
ant Judi iary Committee instructed to
enquire into question of further Jegislrtion,
as to the organization of your Legislature.
Justice and fair dealing must be the guide.
One cause of our last action was the admis
sion of persons not having a majority.
Geo. F. Eumunds.
The protest is as folllows :
Mr. Speaker: The authority under
which this House has assembled and organi
sed, is an act of Congress, entitled “An
act to promote the Reconstruction of the
State of Georgia,” passed on the day of
December, 1869.
The provisions of that act having been
openly and repeatedly violated in the or
ganization, is illegal, and all proceedings
are absolutely null ard void.
Section first of said acts is in these word :
“Be it enacted, etc., That the Governor
of the State of Georgia pe, and he is hereby
authorized and directed forthwith, by pro
clamation, to summon all persons electeded
to the General Assembly of said State as
appears by the proclamation of George G.
Meade, the General Commanding the Mili
tary District including the State of Georgia
dated June 25rh, 1868, to appear on some
day certain, to be named in said proclama
tion. at Atlanta in said State ; and thereup
on the said General Assembly of said State
shall proceed ro perfect its organization, in
comformity with the Constitution and laws
of the United States, according to the pro
vi-.ons of this act.”
The persons elected to th : ncr. 1 As
semi ly of this State, as ov lie said
proclamation of Gen. Meade, were summon
ed to meet in this city on the 10th inst.,
by the proclamation of the G vernor of this
wined in, accordance with' the said
act ofOengress. It was thejugbj ind priv»
i ege if the House in conformity ith the
said act of Congress to proceed to perfect
its own organization ; but in violation of
the provisions f said act, the Governor ap
pointed and directed cne A. L. Harris, a
man completely under the control of the
Governor, he being an officer on the Westo
ern and Atlantic Railroad, to organize the
House.
The said Harris arbitrarily adjourned the
House from day to day in violation of law,
thus preventing the members thereof from
perfecting their own organization in con
formity with law, and by force, violence and
fraud did wilfully hinder and interrupt the
members elected as aforesrid from taking
part in the organization aforesaid, accord
ing to the law aforesaid. Section 4of said
act is in these words :
“And be it further enacted, That the
persons elected as aforisaid, and entitled to
compose such Legislature, and who shall
comply with the provisions of this act, by
taking one of the oaths or affirmations
above prescribed, shall thereupon proceed
in said Senate and House of Repaesentatives
to which they have been elected rspeetiver
ly to reorganize said Senate and House of
Representatives respectively by the election
and qualification of the proper officers of
each House.
It is c.ear that only tboae persons named
in the said paoclamation of G.m. Meade,
and who have taken one of the oaths pre
scribed by said act, can participate in the
re-organization of said House, and that all
persons named in said proclamation who
have duly qualified by taking one of the
Oaths prescribed can participate in said re
organization ; but in violation of said act R.
A. Donaldson, of Gordon county, E. M.
Taliaferro, ot Fulton eonnty, and J. ID
Nunn, of Glasscock county, persons named
in said proclamation of Gen. Meade, who
have duly qualified by taking the oath pre«
■ ribed by i-a and act if ani ha>e
filed the same in the office of the Secretary
of State, have been wilfully hindered and
interrupted from participating in the pro
ceedings of this H use in violation of the
provisions ot Slid act; and W L. Goodwin.

in violation of said »o <»t Oongress ; I. there

My friends we advise all to go and give Andy a fair trial, and we know
that you will go away well pleased. We have been told that in the last six
months that Mr. Webb’s trade has doubled every month; and the reason
why, this house is the only house in Thomastrn that is willing to divide
profits with the people. Ladies and gentlemen we know that if you will
give John N. Webb your trade as a great many of our friends have doue in
1869, that you will come out like they did, with fifty dollars *aved and the
same amount of goods bought at Webb’s as was bought at other places
before. This is true, for we have been told by the most reliable men :n LTp
son County that January, 1869, they set in to deal with Webb & Johnson
one year, and that they kept a close account of what they bought 1868 and
1869, and in 1869 with Webb & Johnson they saved clear cash fifty
dollars. So I think Ladies and Gentlemen that this is quite an item.
Allow me my friends and customers to thank you for your very liberal
patronage through 1868 and 1869. I wish you a happy new year and
continuance of your liberal patronage. Mr. W. A. Johnson with myself
promise our best efforts and services. JOHN N. WEBB,
