Mr BKDFOUDadrlsed the Convention
to be careful. The resolution waaa broad
one, and covered an Immense amount of
financial legislation. It has been reported
that improper legislation had occurred
alnbe 186ft, and thought delegates bad better
reflect.
Messrs. SHKOPS1HHE and WH1TELY

Mr. BLOUNT stated that the last Legis
lature had carefully examined and classi
fied the public debt. The war debt had
been art aside, and the b *nda now out
were Issued for toe ante-war debt, and toe
debt contracted since tins surrender.

on the table for the present, and that 300

The impression gains that tbe Senate
won't sustain the House In its aggressive
legislation regarding the Supreme Conrt.
The proceedings Iq the House to-day
render the passage of the new reconstruc
tion bill, on Wednesday, almost certain.
This evening’s Express says: “ We have
reason to believe that Gen. Meade has been
«^«nrml that Gen. Grant will stand by him
In any action that he may find It necessary
to take regarding the Governor and Treas
urer of Georgia.”

General—the one last commissioned lit the

After il decided Intimation on toe part of

IV hat Is that power ? and where located ?
It was located at Mlllcdgcvillc; and too
head, strength, and power, all centered in
cx-Gov. Jenkins, and used to defeat Rc-
constrnction.
lu this country wo dctcrmtno toe
strength and power of a single individual,
acting ns an official, by his lnteUigence,
virtue, and his Intellectual, morel and so-
olal position*
Thla being toe heals upon which public
opinion stands, builds, and fixes lu preml-
oes, we, therefore, say that the official head,
which our resolution sought to cut ol);
stands pre-eminently high In Georgia. No
man occupied a higher Intellectual moral
and social position tban'Es-Gov. Johklna.
Hu has been respected by all, kiVfd by
all, and honored by many.

fend, on this floor, his administration with
all the force ami power that the vulgar lan
guage of the gentleman from Fulum can

o Ex-Governor, paid the two attorneys
who defended Georgia’s special aud select
citizens before toe Supreme Court, and toe
United States against theeffectg of the Re
construction measures of Congress, and if
lie paid them, when nm! how did he get the
money? He has had no Legislature to
make tlie appropriation. If tlie gentleman
boa the will to answer this question he can
have three minutes of my time to do to.
If the money has been peld toe people

amine the official records and acta of idl
