Milledgeville Correspoti pence.
Milledgevillk, Ga., Dec. 9th;
Editor Constitutionalist—Sir : The Senate, this
morning concuiTed in the resolution of the House,
and the General Assembly have decided by two
thirds to continue the session until Friday the
16th inst.
The bill for the pardon of Thos. E. Whitworth,
ol the county of Chattooga, was taken up in the
Senate. The appeal for pardon was predicated
upon the imbecility oi the defendant, upon an at
tempted impeachment of the principal witness, a
woman of ill character, and upon a large petition
from his own and two adjoining counties. His
mother was present, and seated in the aisle. Mr.
Seward was against the pardon, on the ground
that the defendant had confessed his guilt in hav
ing struck the latai blow, and that the law implied
malice as there was no quarrel. Mr. Hill was for
the pardon, as the evidence was clear that the de
fendant was drunk. The iaw of Georgia that
made drunkenness no excuse for crime, was pass
ed at a time that drunkenness was a crime by the
common iaw. It should be au excuse as long as
legislators would vote to license the vending of
drugged and adulteratedjliquors. The traitor Judas
sold nis master for thirty pieces of silver; but
Georgia, for twenty-five dollars a year, had sold a
maoy a life, and the happiness of a thousand
homes. He did uot care for the petitions, as the
voice of the people bad prevailed on Pilate to sac
rifice the Savior. The Legislature were popular
Kings, and he, for one, would exercise the royal
prerogative of mercy—passed by a vote of|ninety
six to seven.
The Governor vetoed the divorce bill of Mrs. V.
L. Howard, ot Virginia, and made a most elaborate
and able argument against such measures through
his message.
Mr. Gibson, of Richmond, made an effort to re
consider aud pass the bill over the veto, (it having
failed so to pass by seventy to thirty last night.)
The argument of the honorable member from
Richmond was one of the most vigorous specimens
of oratory.that has been heard this session. He ar
gued that restrictions on marriage, were only so
many encouragements to adultery ; he pointed to
cases in which the Legislature had relieved par
ties from the penalty ula verdict ot divorce against
them, and said, that one msiance of a man or wo
man redeemed Irom unlawful cohabitation and re
stored to society was worth more than a thousand
theoretical arguments. He alluded in a tone of
withering sarcasm to the fact that Governor Brown
had signed twenty or thirty such bills, and one
of them signed twice, and asked members to turn
theipages of .the private ,act» of 1857, and com
pare them with the present expressed views of ttie
immaculate Governor, ile closed with an appeal
to legislators to befriend all women who were so
unfo#nnate as to be cursed by unworthy husbands,
and especially for her who came from that State,
consecrated by the footsteps of the presidents and
the grave of Washington.
Tbe motion to reconsider was lost and the lady
is not made free.
The bill of Mr. Wallace, of Taylor, to repeal the
third section of the divorce law of 18t)6, caused
considerable discussion in tbe Senate.
Mr. Hill, of Troup, argued that the bill should
pass; he believed that ttie act of 1850, allowing
divorces lor drunkenness, abuse, desertion, Ac.,
was wrong, and ought to be repealed ; hut if the
contract was dissolved, it should be dissolved as
to both parties alike.
Mr. Seward, ot Thomas, thought that if members
were opposed to divorces, they should introduce a
bill to repeal the whole divorce law of the present
day; by the present law one party is not freed by
the concurrent verdicts of two special juries ; they
always apply to the Legislature to be relieved from
the penalty of the iaw, incase of a subsequent
marriage; aud in the hundreds of cases that have
come before the Legislature since 1806, there is nut
a single instance ot refusal to grant such an appli
cation.
Mr. Wallace, ot Taylor, took the flocr in favor
of his bill; the Legislature spend hundreds of
dollars every few days of the session in such special
legislation. No doubt but two hundred thousand
dollars had been spent in the last fifty on
special divorce bills that the Legislature always
granted, and why not dispense with such an evil
bv a repeal of the clause that caused it? The work
ings oi the present law were a! most always against
the innocent. He had known cases of husbands
abusing their wives in such a manner that they
were obliged to leave them, and then obtained a
divorce from their wives on the ground of desertion,
as authorised by law ; thus leaving the poor inno
cent sufferer, barred trom alt the rights of matri
mony, while the guilty cause was allowed to marry
again.
As for the argument that the penalty kept par
ties together, it was not true, and he did not de
sire to keep those together betweeu whom the
sacred bos.d of love did not exist; and when, by
error, or youthful inadvertence, parties werennitei
iu a civil contract, that difference of disposition
and tastes forbid to be even carried out; iu short,
where hatred and contention reigned in the room
of love and faith, the sooner they got apart the
better. As for the sacred relations of matrimony,
they only existed where hearts were united to
gether. What God had thus joined together, no
man wanted to put asunder; but God does not
Eut his eternal sanction to everythmg that is done
y preachers and justices of the peace ; and a con
tinued cohabitation under the coercion oi law,where
there is no affection, is but legalised adultery. Mr.
Holt was for the bill, because it would save the
Governor the trouble of writing so many vetoes.
The bill was lost.
In the House, the various educational bills are
postponed indefinitely. The bill to retain the pro
perty of the wife, at the time of marriage, exempt
from the control of the husband, was postponed
indefinitely. It didn’t have the ghost of a chance
amid the thunder of “no’s” that put it down.
The bill to make it penal to bet on elections pass
ad the House. Also, a bill to prevent minors of
fourteen from choosing their own guardians, (bad
bill.)
A bill to alter and amend the law of descents, in
cases of illegitimates, has passed the House. To
employ a State geologist—lost. The bill to make
each county pay its own members—lost.
A bill to change a county liae came, accompani
ed by a petition closing with—
*• Th s is a land of svery land the pride.
Beloved «f heaven, o’er all tbe worm beside;
Where brighter suuj dispense serener light,
And milder moons imparadise the bight."
The poetry was pretty, but the bill died very
1 ,
'Tf ■ ' .-.=«= 110
suddenly. The bill creating the Hiwassee Circuit
was lost. Judge Thomas offered to take the coun
ties under the shadow of hts wing, that their own
judges couldn’t manage. The bill to exempt phy
sicians from jury dutv, was amended to include tel
egraph operators, mi lers, school teachers, and fer
rymen, and was postponed indefinitely. Mr. Gib
son made one of his neat little speeches in favor of
the telegraph operators.
The appropriation bill of 1859 came up. Mr.
Lester moved a substitute contemplating the erec
tion of an armory. Ruled out. Mr. Hartridge, to
appropriate $75,005, for the equipment of the vol
unteer military of this State. Mr. Ector, to make
it $150,000 —lost. Mr. Lewis wanted the arms de
posited in the arsenal, when bought—lost. Mr.
Harris wanted the arms manufactured in Georgia
—lost.
The committee of the whole arose and reported
the hill back to the House.
The following are the full—
