RxPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COM^I^E^.
Mr. Bigbt, Chainmn of the EXefctftiYe
Committee, has laid before the Convention
the report of that committee, which will,
we presume, come up in the regular orjer.
as Article III. ** ' . • V
Tl»e first paragraph of section I, pruijOB
for a term at four yfcirs,. instead* fof
two. Paragraph two is thp same in ; effect
as the same paragraph in the Constitution
of 1986. Paragraph thrtfe provides
fication of United States citizenship of fif
teen years, and in the State of ten yeoijfi*.
The only change in the fourth paragraph
is by adding. “The General-Assembly shall
have power to provide, by law, for filling
unexpired terms by a special, election”
Section five is unaltered. .
Paragraph 1 of section It ts MH&i'angea.'
Paragraph two reads, “He *h:tH iTave’power
to grant reprieves and pardons, to commute
penalties, and to remit any’part of a setir
tence for offenses against the State, except;
in cases of impeachment*” Paragraph 3 is
changed by substituting the word “Ppnr-
inonwealth” for “Republic.” Paragrophf
4. a, 6. 7, 8 and 9 are unchanged, and para-*
graph 10, only to allow the Legislature to
grant the Governor privilege to appoint
more than two secretaries.

GEORGIA STATE CONVENTION.
•mn. 1 <
/ NINETEENTH DAT.
kpoetep expreSHt fob THE bailt opinion ]
Wednesday, January U» 1868.
The Convention met at regular hour.
^Prayer by the Chaplain. Journal read and
approved. e , ,
Mr. AKERMAN moved a reconsidera
tion of the vote of yesterday in adopting
tne" report of the Committee on Relief.
The avowfed purpose of those fcbo brought
this matter before the Convention was to
yquiet apprehensions as to the coorse this
Convention would pursue in reference to
,toe public debt. The action taken would .
have the contrary effect. I fit was the in
tention of the Delegates to preserve the
<Sith of the State, let it be expressed un
mistakably, He would offer an amend
ment providing that all bonds issued, and
indebtedness incurred, since 1865 should he
recogwized and paid in good faith.
Mr. SHROPSIIIBR opposed,reconsider
ation. The administration of affairs may
have been extravagant—he had heard it
asserted that such was the fact. He only
wanted to express the opinion of the Con
vention that no action would he taken by
^this Convention interfering with the
public indebtedness referred to. The Leg
islature could decide upon such questions
hereafter.
Mr. CALDWELL favored the reference
to the Legislature.
Mr. CALDWELL, from the Committee
on Education] made a report, which was
lead apd ordered to be printed.
Mr. BEDFORD thought the amendment
of Mr. Akerfnnn was -too sweeping. He
vyas opposed to State repudiation—and
when it was ascertained what indebted
ness had been legally contracted, no dele
gate would go further than himself in sup
porting the faith of the State.
Mr. DUNNING thought It was natural
that discredit should exist, with reference
to public indebtedness. Day after day
propositions for relief had been introduced.
Public creditors were justified in having
fears. Public repudiation would be but
the crowning act of the movement to re
pudiate private debts. He was opposed to
any action that “Would Impair credit.
The motion to reconsider prevailed, when
the whole matter was laid on the table.
: Mr.‘MARTIN, of Habersham, offered the
following:
Resolved, That Mai. Gen. Meade be re
quested to order the Treasurer of Georgia
to deposit in the hands of N. L. Angier,the

the chicanery of the law had often

Mr. CLIFi? movedto amend by striking
out the words “except for fraud or”—so
that the aectioW would read—“There shall
be no imprisonment for debt, when the
debtor resides beyond the limits of the
9ta|e, of I» about to remote ttyerefroifo”

The Constitutionality ok the Recon
struction Acts.—Speaking of tlie. rumor
relative to an expected decision of tlie Sir
preme Court involving the Constitutional
ity of the Reconstruction Acts, the Wash
ington correspondent of the New York
Times says: ;•
A careful inquiry into alj tlie facts au-i
thorizes the statement that no sucii deci
sion need be anticipated for some 'time to
come. But the statement concerning the
status ot the Court on tlrts question derives
considerable significance in the JigUt of
recent developments. It will be remem
bered that last summer the Court deckled
adversely in the Sharkey injunction ease,
and announced that the opinion at length
would be given thereafter. Chief Justice
Chase wrote the opinion denying tlie prayer
of the petitioner, basing its rejection Ob the
broad ground of the constitutionality of the
Reconstruction acts of Congress. On con
sultation the Sudges declined to accept this
ground for the rejection of the petition,
by a vote of three in favor to five
against. And then it was agreed that the
petition should be rejected on the legal
grounds which were given in the Georgia
case, want of orginal jurisdiction, and this
is I believe a correct statement of the case.

Mr. Staxherky’s Opinion.,—Li a recent
speech Attorney General Stnnberry sjilj]:
- Gentlemen, I have been at the liar, for
nearly half a century, ami have been a
constant student, not only of common law.
but of our own Constitutional law, and I
do not hesitate to say that* the whole of
these reconstruction acts of Congress, from
beginning to end. first, seeond and tlrird in
the series, are unconstitutional and void.
There are times when to be silent is to be
unfaithful. There are'times when;men
must speak out. I will not. attempt to
school myself into retieenee'upon-these
great questions, arid I cannot if I would,”

Mr. TRAMMELL, from the Committee

A long discussion ensued, and a mimlier
of substitutes and amendments were offer
ed^ On motion, all the substitutes except
that of Mr. Waddell were laid upon the
table, and the preamble of the Convention
of 1865 was adopted unanimously.
Mr. CLIFT moved to amend the report

adopted, and that the words “Constitution
of the State of Georgia,” should follow the
preamble. Agreed to.
The committee proceeded to consider the
Declaration of Rights.

Virginia Convention.
Richmond, Jan. 14.—In Convention an
article was adopted in the Constitution de
claring that Virginia shall forever remain
in die Union, and pledging her to resist all

Also, an article that slavery in the State
is forever abolished
a resolution from the Republican side
inviting General Butler to address the Con
vention, was adopted
Another from the Conservatives, inviting
Gen. Wise was offered.
At this point a Republican moved to re
consider the vote inviting Butler, and
pending the discussion, and amid motions
to adjourn. Butler entered the door, and
shortly the Conservative members left the
hall in a body with one or two Republicans
who had opposed the invitation offered.
Gen, Butler** Views.
Butler in his speech said there should be
as few changes in the Constitution as pos
sible, as few disfranchisements and as few
test oaths with reference to disfranchise
ments. He thought it should apply to con
trolling officers of corporations, railroads,
etc^ the legislature to have power to re
move those disabilities upon proof of
loyalty.
The tax on education should be laid on
persons and other taxes should be borne by
property and persons alike.
He urged the Convention to get through
their work soon. Suffrage could not be
taken from men after it had been granted,
but the Legislature might hereafter, as an
incentive to education, confer it only upon
those who could read and write.
The Convention voted thanks to Butler
and adjourned.
