the superior agricultural resource* of Georgia
before taking a leap in the dark. The South

Any person knowing any thing of the pro

mit that the above line, aa it is quoted, ex prem

founded. For instance: the Hue, as it is, for-

and the balance of the sentence is left to a loca
tion in the indicative mood. Thus, the framer
of the above line, by omitting the comma at
the end of the first word, makes us tell you that
‘•travellers” (third person) “ look to interest,’’
(indicative mood) when he designed to address
himself to ‘•travellers,’ (second person) and ex
hort them to “ look to interest,” (imperative
mood.)
As a g-atuitoua tuition to the printer that
put that line in type, we suggest the propriety
of a comma at the end of the first word, which
will make it in the second person, imperative
mood, and read correctly thus:
“ Travellers, look to interest."

ATLANTA, GEORGIA, THURSDAY IMORNING, DECEMBER 13. 1855.
Milledgeville Corrospondeace. I
Monday, Decembers.
The fifth week of the session has commenced,
and the prospect is that not more than a fourth
part of it has passed away, notwithstanding de
monstrations have been made that the General
Assembly w’ll be ready to adjourn by the 20th
inst. Would that it were so, but we trust our
readers will not be deceive d by any such reports.
Possioly a recess may take place at that tim .
but tlie people need look for nothing mon*, ami
we may adj nothing less. Tlie growing niter
eats of Georgia, absolutely r< quire more than
two months of legislation without a reform of
existing laws, and a modification of the Consti
tution; particularly in regard to that provision
of it which requires the reading of bills on
three several days in each branch of the Gene
ral Assembly. As we before remarked there is
no la' k of industry here on the part of Senators
and Representative*. All are (hsirousot doing
good "service to the State." and we doubt not
that a lane majority of them would be pleased
to take tlieir Christmas dinner at home, with
out the obligation being imposed npon them to
return to the Capitol to complete unfinished
business in 1856.
At prwut there is a large number of visitors
here,and “tlie cry is still they come.” It is
tienerally understood that the " Govern' r's
Levee " conies off on Thursday night next.—
Thi* will add to the already large number of
lady visitors to tlie Capitol this season; and
where beauty and fashion are, tliere tlie men
will be found also. Indeed tliere are great at
tractions here for all who can afford to spend
from liome a few day*. The sedate and grave
can find spirits lik their own, while tlie young
ami the gay cannot fail to be iutensted aud
amused. A very la’ge number of the latter
already here with a considerable sprinkling of
tlie former, assembled last Friday night at the
••Soiree’ of Judge B. and hisnmhible and accom
plished lady. It was indeed a magnificent affair ;
■AU' that held on to the guests until the early hours
o I the morning. But we must go on to record
the proceeding* of the Senate to day.
After the Journal was reud a Resolution was
adopted substituting the dadu call upon Sena
tors for new busiue* to Tuesday aud Friday ol
each week.
The Chair then announced that it had ap
pointed Messrs. Cone, of Gnene; Lawson, ol
Burke; aud Graut, in accordance with a Rests
lution previously adopted, the Committee ou
Weight*.
Tlie Bill giving to the people tlie election of
Solicitors General, which passed the lust session
of the Legislature, aud which, as it proposed an
amendment of the Constitution, its passage is
required by the present General Assembly, was
taken up. considered, and after some discussion
on striking out. that feature of it relating to the
incorporation of companies, was passed—yeas
73—tuiys 39.
A Resolution instructing cur Senators at d
requesting our Representatives, in Congress, to
use their exertions at Washington for the es
tablislimeut of a Navy Yard at Brunswick, was
taken up.
Mr. Spaulding offered an amendment to the
Resolution, which caused some discussion. The
amendmeut was voted down, aud the Resolu
tion adopted.
A resolution referring that portion of the
Governor's Message, which relates to the public
printing to a Committee of one from each Con
gressional District, was adopted. The Chair
appointed the following Senator* that Commit
tee, to wit Messrs. Rope, Atkinson, Wales.
Gibsou, Murphy, Dabney, McMillanaud Wing
field.
Two Resolution* relating to the appointment
of Committees to examine into the affairs of the
State Road were disagreed to, aud indefinitely
postponed.
Mr. People*, from the Ccmmittee on Inter
nal Improvement* made a report favorable to the
Bill askiug for State Aid for tlie Brunswick
& Florida Rail Ruud, which was received and
read.
Other Resolution* of little public importance
were actid upon, after which the Seuate ad
journed till 3 o'clock, P. M.
The Senate spent the afternoon in consider
ing the Resolution passed by tlie House to ap
point a Joint Committee of both Houses, for
the purpose of proceeding to. and examining
into the nffairs of the Western & Atlantic Rail
Rood. The Resolution was rejected.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Monday. Dec. 3rd.
Tlie session thi* morning wa* more active
than interesting to theoutiidet. Tin- late bout
at which we write will prevent anything more
than a synopsis of the proceedings.
Bills Rk.id the First Time :—Mr. Ter
hune ; A bill to allow Sheriff* 10 day* longer
lor the service of writ*. Ae.; also, a bill amend
ing tlie act of incorporation of the city ol
Rome ; also a bill to change the time of hold
ing tbe Superior and Infe ior courts of the
county of 1- I'.yd; also a bill to iuco-porate tin
Home Volunteers.
Mr. Harris, of Fulton : A Bill to amend the
charter of the City of Atlanta, s as to em
power tbe Mayor and Council to abolish, re
st rict or regulate the sale of Liquors within
the corporate limits of the city, “as they may
detm expedient for tbe pub.ic giaxi." It far
ther provides, that, in addition to the charge
now made for licensing. t<e Council may kvy
an -extraordinarv tax" upon all liquors kept fi.r
retail, which said tax shall be set a|iart as a
••poor school fund,” for the education of the
p ior of said city. We shall have more to say
(»f this bill at the proper time. Wonder if it
isn't one of the issues of the last marriage ol
Young Mr. America, aud Mias Temperance,
both of the City of Atlanta I
A Bill requiring ten days service, where de
fendants testimony is required, in common-taw
eases.
Dr. Hoyle : A Bill to incorporate Garnett
Hill Mining Company.
The report of the Committee on tlie Peni
tentiary was read and oidered prin'ed. The
adoption of tlie report as a test question f r
or against removal, which it recommends, was
made the special order of Friday next.
A message was re -eired from the Governor,
covering a report of the Secretary of the navy
iu f vor of Brunswick as a naval station.
A Resolution frem the Senate inquiring if
the ILiuse could not so arrange it buisine** as
toadjouru on the 2(ith inst. It is proper here
to ray that, whether tlie House does so arrange
or not, the Senate will be uaab.e to adjourn at
a much later day.
Us all tbe B.lls passed, there was none of a
public eharocter. and consequently none which
wou'd interest the general reader.
The Bill to exempt blind persons from taxa
tion wa* amended by add.ng -d-as and dumb
persona." and after a short discuss'on. the m ►
tion of Mr. Jone* of Muscogee, to .ay it upon
tbe table for tbe balance of the session, was
agreed to.
Tuesday, December, 4 1855.
The enclosed Report of the Committee on
Finance, is transmit ed for publication. It will
d( nbtlera be interesting to many of our readers.
In yesterdav's letter an error was made, where
we represented that tbe Resolution to appoint
» Committee to examine into the condition of
Western A Atlantic Rail Road, was in definite-
Ily postponed by the Senate. Th* Resolution
so advised. The Senate rejected a motion to
H Tolbv.’ Several Bill* and Resolutions were
introduced in the Senate. We will refer to a
few only of public interest.
A Bill providing that the convicts in the Pen
itentiary shall ’ c employed in pramring granite
from quarries in the neighborhood for repairing
the State Hoose, as well as for sale.
Also a Bill to abolish the Pemtenuary sys
em, and institute other punishment for violators
f Resolution was adopted to have a recess
of the Legislature from tl« 20th inst, to the
second Monday in January next, aud sent tethe
House for concurrence.
Also, to bring on the election of State rnn
ter on Friday n<*xt.
This resolution provides that tlie Printer
elected shall lie subject to all the restriction
im-oeed, and be required to do the work npon
tlie terms tliereafter to be determined upon by
the Legislature. The bond of the fortunate can
didate,"we hardlv think will be forthcoming un
til tie is satisfied*whether there is a chance to
make "buckle and tongue meet” as er the prin
ting is finished. But we shall see.
The remainder of the morning and afternoon
was spent by the Senate, in considering the
Resolution adopti d by the House, to appoint, a
Committee tn examine into the affairs ot tlie
Western & Atlantic Rail Road.
Tlie discussion of the Resolution and
amendments proposed, again took a wide range.
Many of the Senators participated in I'-
Messrs. Pope, I’eepk s. and Billups advocated,
while Messrs. McMillan, Guerry.Long, and oth
ers opposed its ad iption.
We have no time to report the remarks of
either of the gentlemen referred to. Nor n il'
our readers lose any thing by this, for bv the
action of tlie Senate, tlai whole question will Is
iiefore that Body again ou to-morrow. After
the Senator from Haliergham hud closed Ins re
marks this afternoon, the previous question was
called for and sustained. Thi* brought up the
main question-- which was to agree to tlie R*s
olutinn of the House asameudid by theSetme
The Resolution as amended was then
A motion to reconsid r will be made to-moriow
morning, when the whole question will
come up, and as there i* evidently a detem na
tion to resist it* passage to the end of ti e chap
ter, on the part of many Senators, onr reader
may expect to hear from us again on this nib
je -t. We cannot however refrain fr m B|s akii'g
in the highest terms >f Messrs. McMillan. Gner
ry. and Long, and of their course, in retertnci
to this question. They were right in their op
position to it, an 1 , we trust that they, and al.
who, acted with them, will yet succeed in defeat
ing the Resolution. We believe that
capital i* at the bottom of all this movement, and
but for this no such Resolution would have been
introduced for the consideration of the Seaale.
We do not however, mean to insinuate thxt
Senators, or any of them, have been actuated by
the motive referred to ; but we nevertheless be
lieve that they, or some of them, have been de
ceived by outside misrepresentation* which
have, to some extent, influenetd their action
on the sutiject us they will be placed hereafter
to acknowledge should an investigation of tlx
affairs of the Road, a* demanded, ever take
place.
Tuesday, December 4.
The House met pursuant to adjournment, Mr.
Milledge occupying the Chair.
Mr. R. H. Sapp, of the County of Whitfield
presented himself, and was sworn in by tl e
Speaker pro. tem.
Ou motion, so much of the Journal of yester
day as relahd to tbe amended bill to authorize
certain persons, therein specified, to practice
medicine and to charge and collect by taw. fees
for tuch services, was reconsidered, after an an
imated debate between Mes*r*. Jone*, of Mus
eogve; aud Pawson end Johnson, of Casa—
the former in favor of reconsideration.
A Resolution to bring on the election of
State Printer on Friday next, was agreed to
aud sent to the Senate for its concurrence.
Air. Boyd's resolution to refuse leave of ab
sence in certain cases, was lost. We
would simply remark that the number of absen
tee* from faith branches of the Legislature is a
poor comment upon the general liealthfulnera
of the State, if they are all attending tick tarn
dies.
A Bil to amend the Charter of the City ol
Griffin in certain particulars, wa* reported
-again by the Commitiee. and lost.
A Bill to prevent contractors, agents or em
ployeea upon public buildings from making tin
cost of such buildings exceed the amount of
appropriations therefor, was reported against
by the Committee, and lost.
Mr. Jone*, of Muscogee, offered a resolution
appropriating the State Library office to tln
nraofthe Judiciary Committee during theii
Sessions.
Mr. Lawton's Bills authorizing aeenfs and *•-
tornie* in fact to make the netewary affidavit io
dist'ess warrants, was passed.
Mr. Crook offered a new State Aid Bill
which was read the first titre and ordered
printed. This bill contemplates, the issue ol
State bonds of one thousand dollars each, bear
ing 6 per cent interest, payable in New York
and to run 20 years, to any Rail Road Compa
ny now chartered or to be chartered, when it
shall have secured a complete title to the right
of way and put their roud in order to lay down
the iron for 20 miles—tlie snid bond* to lie is
sued in an amount sufficient to pay for the iron.
For these Itonds the company shall give a par
arrount lien upon the whole of the road in form
of a mortgage. For each additional 20 mil-.s
to he prepared, like ta-nds are to be issued upon
like terms. The Bill farther provides that n(M>n
tlie fa lure of the company to pay tbe interest
on these bonds, or the principal when it falls
due, the Governor shall appoint a receiver to
'ake possession and charge of the Road, until
the next meeting of the General Assemble.
The HoU-e then proceeded to the reading of
bill* the second time, after which it adjourned.
. W edncsday December 5.
Enclosed yon will find the majority and mi- ■
nonty reports of the Committee on the Peni- j
tentiary. which will doubtless iuterest the read- '
er* "f the -Examiner.”
The recommendation of the majority that the ;
Penitentiary be removed from it* present loca
tion to the Stone Mountain will, we hope—be,
a-lopted by the Legislature. Its present kca '
tion is a great drawback to its revenue, and
must continue to be so a* long a* ir reaiains
here; for every year tbe supplies which the!
surrounding country is capab e of furnishing it.
in the way of material so- its workshops, grow
scarcer uud scarcer, until literally, no supplies
at all cau be furnished. However economical
and prudent it* management, the State will
be forc'd to remove it; and we do not see
*ee why provision for this should nut be made,
by the'pnsei't Legislature.
The minority report, opposing its removal,
does not strike'u* as containing arguments of
force sufficient to retain it where it is. Let it
go to the Stone Mountain, and for a half centu
ry »t least, it will be a source of revenue to the
State. ,
A* we predicted on yesterday, the everlast
ing Resolution to appoint a Committee to ex
amine into the affairs of the State Rail Read,
which pawed the Senate, was reconsidered this
) morning, on motion of Mr. Long, by a deeided
■ vote. Id opposition to i'« reconsideration, the
the way, is decidedly one of the most influential
Senators, ou his side of th Senate—addressed
the Senate. Messrs. Wingfield and Gibsou re
sponded in favor of the reconsid ration; and
the Resolution may be considered now as de
funct. We rejoice at this. It puts a quietus
to the slang ot the last canvass; but while i.
does this, as the Senator front Habersham
properly remarked, the majority in that body
stand ready to appoint any <Xmtuitiee a«keci
for when from any respons.ble quarter, a charge
is made which attributes to Tlie management
of the road any thing that demands investiga
tion. This is the true ground for the party in
power to take, and to maintain. The late ver
d ct of tlie people al the polls will be their jus
titication. We trust that they will not bedru
looneil into a reconsideration ol the issues that
disgraced the late cauvasa.
In the Senate, this morning, Mr. Cone, ol
Greene, moicd lo postp< ne llie s|ieciul oidir o
the day—which was the Bill lo alter aud amend
t: e Uouatituucii, so as to return to Annual
Sessions, and providing also for a reduction ol

adopted.

into the Senate, iu our paper. With u slight
amendment, this Bill passed as it »os print

on tlie other hand, by Messrs. Calhoun and
Cone, <>t'Greene with signal ability; both oi
whom spoke at length upou the subject—clear
ly setting foith its provurons and the advanta

no where in the Slate will tins bill be viewed
with more iiiterist, than in Atlanta, tlie Rail
Road city of the Union. We feel that the
constituency of our Senator will rejoice ut his
success in carrying the bill through the Senate,
aud we trust that Ihe action of the House wili
soon authorize us to say that it i* a law of the
State.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Wednesday, Nov. sth.
Precisely at the moment provided in the rub
for the assembling the House, the Speak( r's
hanim r fell for “order.” This rigid obser
vance by the Sjieaker pm. tein. of the ruis ol
the House bus ueeii observable, not only iu this
particular, but iu every deirortliient of his ad
ministration, aiid when we say the Col. M 1-
ledge makes an excellent pressing officer, W(
iuteud it shall be taken iu the lulltst aud most
complimentary suae of the term, and we bin
echo the sediment of both side* of tlie Hous>-
in so saying. Strict as lie is. however, in the
i nl'orc mentofthe rules, lie is uot wanting in any
of th'®! courtisies which go so L.r in making
an officer popular with the body over which he
presides,' nd no considerations of a mere parly
eharacL'r should prevent a public ex press, ou ol
the satisfaction he gives tbe entire House in
the administration ot hi* arduoe*, ami not uu
irequently delicate, duties. Tbe highest com
pliment we can puy him is to say I hut lie en
joys—and deserves —the entire confidence ol
one of the most dignifad aud intelligent bodies
ever convened within the*e walls.
On motion, the rule* were sUq endtd and the
resolution from the biimte providing fora recess
from the 20th fast., lo the second Monday in
January, wa* taken up. Mr. Lawton moved
to amend by striking out the preamble and
making the time to n-ass. ruble, the first Mon
day in November next, winch motion was lost
as was also Mr. Lewi*’ ui 'tiou to make the
time of adjournment the 241 b iusuad of the
20th. The original resolution was then passed;
yeis 80. nay 30.
The Biyd Commentation Bill being the
special order of tbe day Mr. hwiu r. setoa
question of order, and the chair decided that
me House could not entertain tbe Bi I.
Mr. Jouvs, of Muscogee, a] pealed from the
decisio i of tbe Clrnir.
Mr. Join* *a d. Tlie question was one of grave
iuterest to the Legislature—a question of its
power, its Mivereiguiy. and he tiotad gi utlc
men would bear with him u short time, whi e
he expressed the CoiiVietious which influenced
him in declining that the Legislature
had power to commute punishments.—
lie said it was true that tlie Legislature had
no power to jiuss any taw repugnant to tlie
Comt ration, but tin* taw would uot be so
repuznaut. and gentlemen could nut point
out w iireiii it would to W. There was no
provision against this jiower. and hecon'en<l
ed that where no expna* provision existed,
in ti e Ci nstitutii u against the exercise of a
power by the Dig Sature, the extr ise vl
such power was a severe gn right, aud was
not i epugnant to tbe Constitution.
The 7th section of the 2nd Art., of the
Constitution was the only one which iudi
cated where tbe pardoning power in such
< cases cculd be found, and that section eoti
; ferred tbe power upon tbe Executive “except
i in cases ct murder and imptachment, in which
I cMtobeßßJ rddntetiNWMtnmaadKuk*
report thereof to the next General Asseuibl. ’
by whom a pardon may be granted.” This
section, he contended was merely a finger
board, to point out where the pardoning
power in eases of murder and impeachment
lay, but it did not prescribe the extent cl
the power or even delegate it to the General
Assemb'y—it simply recognized theexisienci
of the power in ti e J egielature. It could not
then, be aruged that the powt r to pardon w s
only one vesting iu the Legislature in th<
premises.
It was urged, he said, against this bill
that it was an ex post facto law; but lie
thought if gentlemen would examine it par
ticnlarly it would be found not to come with
in tlie jierview of the constitutions! provis
ion against ex post facto laws. Judje Sto
ry. the highest sod l«st authority upon con
stitutional questions, bad said that laws mit
igating punishmt nts were net within thi
rule, since they favored the citizens, and wen
not hardships. This law was prec soly suel
an one as Ju'ge Story excepted. He did
not think then that the objection upon th.s
ground should prevail.
He urged npon the Legislature, if thi* were
a question of doubt to take to themselves thi
advantage of it—assert their rights, theii
power. It would bo no hardship upiai n
condemed man tmbiso. There was anotke',
tribunal to which be could appeal, and of tic
exercise of the power by the Ix-gislalnie
should be decided against him. lie might be
relensid; but if the exercise of thai powei
slio ild lie sustained, lie asked gentlemen if it
were not Letter to aswri it by this bill. Il
was a great power, and if there was doubt in
the minds of Represen'utives, itshoud lie
asse te-1, and not ignoied.
Mr. Cnark n-pliid tn a Sfieecb of some hall
hmtr. of which, aa well a> the others, we n-gn-i
we can oily give the leadin r tentun'S.
Mr. Crook said he had liefore investigating
this question expressed his opinton tl.at tli<
Legislature bad power to commute punish
nuxitsaa well as to grant pardons; Inn sincebi
bud eare'utly investigatid tLe subject he had
become convinced lliat hi* former opinim
was erroneous, ami he thought heconldshow
Represeutalivis that they hud no sue p iwei
to C"Hiinnte—that they must either pardon
or refuse to do so.
The Goveriim nt, he said, was wisely div
ded into tl feed> parltuenl*: the lagislature
tl e Exi entive, and the Judiciary, and the Ld
section of the Ist article of the Constitutioi
distinctly provides that "no tr rson or collet'
tion of |k rsons, being one of those depart
ments. shul exercise any power ]>r< p rly at
tached to either of the others, exc< pt in the
instances therein expressly permitted.” Tin
power to commute punishment lay in the Ju
diciary—how, then, could the Legislative de
partm nt infringe upon the Judiciary power?
There was no "express permission” for such
an infringement, und unless such permission
could be shown, he contended the argument
wasat an end. The power to commute pun
ishments was expressly defiued to vest in the
Judiciary—it could exist no where else with
out an express grant-
lie further contended that thia law was an
ex post fucio law, since it changed the nature
of the punishment due the crime, after its
commission.
Mr. Harris, of Fulton, followed Mr. Crook.
He said he hail gone into the investigation
of this question, with the expectation oi
strengthening the conviction of his own
mind, which formerly inclined to the opinion
that the Legislature had no power to com
mute punishments; but as he proceeded step
by step, he became more and more convinced
that tne power did vest in the L'gi lature
and He thought if the gentleman from Chat
toogu. h.'d pushed bis investigation to tlu
fountain head of truth, he would have bad no
cause to change his opinion.
He said, that the power to pardon
carried with it the lesser power to com
mute. That if it was clear that power
to pardon vested in the IzgHature, it neces
sarily followed that the power to commute
also vested there. The Constitution of tin
United State* aud the Constitution of Geor
gia were analogous in this particular, that
they both divldeel and kept el stiuct th three
department* «f government. Such b'iug
the case, he cited tlie opinions of Mr. I er- .on.
Mr. Crittenden's and the Supreme C< u. t o
the United States to show that it was a set
tied point that the power to |>ai’doii ciaiferred
upon the Executive of the United Stales car
ried with it th power to pardon conditionally
This bill was for a c mdiiional paid -n. and
he insist!d that, since it was establish!d that
the p twer to pardon ay iu the Legislaiure.
and since it wa< estabbsiied by the opinions
of those learnedgenth m -n and of that Court,
that the power lo grant coud.tioual pardons
was a part of the power to |iar<Jon—it was
entirely within the p >wer of this Legislature
to entertain thia bill.
He considered the entire qnestiqg rested
upon this, that absolute power to pardou.
when granted at a'l. confessed the less p over
to commute punishment, and he challenged
the gentleman Irani Chatham to refute his
argument.
Mr. Lawton, of Chatham, replied that,
He hail iutendol to c.isl a silent vote upon
the question, that he had not fortitled hi* p ►
sitioii with iuvestigaiiou into the subject, but
lest he should be considered nsyii'idiugtothe
in en us arguments of tl e g> n • a i holding
opposite opinions, and ue re es ecully us lie
hud been culled up ill so pointed a manner,
ho would say that so fur lie had heard noth
ing which chang'd his opinion, fl was true
be accoided fully with the gentleman from
Muscogee in the opinion that the power to
commute puiiislimenia was not repugnant to
the State Constitution. If cases came be
fore the Legislature to commute a punish
ment of iuiprisoume t for life or fur a num-
Ix r of years, to a shorter period, lie would
regard tlie jxiwer of the legislature as fully
established. But where, us in the present
instance, the prtqiosition was to change a
sentence from that of death to impr.soiimeiu
for a term oi years, he considered that it
would be an iufriuguieut of -I udiciary pre
rogative wuicti he regarded as opposed to
the lelt. r and spirit of the fst section of the
Ist article of the Cuiaititutiun, and should
not be euterta u'd by this House. This he
thought was clearly the nature of the pro
p.«ed bill, and as he did not consider the
tu-gislaluie bad power tu seat nee ur change
a rCutence*, he s' uuld sustain the Sjieaker in
decidigg it out of order.
Mr. I uoruton follow, d against the desi ion
of the chair. We regret tiiat being called away
just al this time, we lost the greater portion ol
Mr. T.’s speech, which is spoken of iu flattcr
iug terms by tnose who did hear it.
M r . Lewis, of Hancock, moved the pre
vious questii n, and upon the yeas and nays
neing taken, the decision of the chair was
sustained by a vote of b 5 to 34.
At thi* point, being engaged outside for
the balance of the sessiou of thi* morning
we ceased to take notes.
