Tho Constitutional Amendment Rejected
by Georgia,

MILLEDovIILE, November 9.-The
Legislature Of Georgia has rejected the
constitutional amendment. Tho resolu.
ton Of rejection reads as follows:
"Resolrcd, That tho Legislature of
Gcorgia declines TO ralify the amend.
mcnt adding a fourteenth article to the
Constitution Of the United States"
~ motion was made in tho Segatc to
postpone The consideration of the reso
ton to some future day, but the resolu.
ton was finally pressed to vote and
adopted-ycas SO, nays nonc--a full
Senate voting.
In the House Of Representatives., tic
vote on the resolution stood, yeas 1876,
nays 2. The two members voting nay
wbre Ellington, Of Gilmcr County, and
Humphreys, OF Fannin County. Tho
committee, on reporting the resolution
accompanied their report with lengthy
argument, the substance of Which is as
follows: First. That the States of tho
United States alone are authorized to
consider constitutional amendments
Second. That such amendments must
be proposed by two.thlrds Of Congress,
or by tho Legislatures Of two.thirds OF
the States Third. That Georgia was
ons Of tho original States, and must
always have continued such, unless. she
reserved the right to secede, or gave
the Federal Government the right to
eject her. The report adduccs the leg
islation Of Congress, tho Proclamation
Of the President and rhc issues made
during The war by the Government of
The United States, to prove thatit was
held by that Government that no State
could seccdc aud that tho war'only in.
rnptcd tho practical relations ofshtho
States thereto and that the suppression
OF the rebellion was to restore these re-.
lalions fully, when the Constitution was
to become the supreme law of tho land.
The report then proceeds to declare that
Georgia and the other Southern States
are iatcgrol parts Of Congress, and that
no constitutional Congress can be con.
vened while such integral portions are
torcibly excluded. It says that tho
adoption of the emancipation amend.
mcnt is no prcccden, for tho adoption
Of this one. The Southern States, at
that time, had no delegations to be re.
ccived into Congress, as now, when
denied admlttancc. The report then
concludes by saying that, as the amond.
mcnL in question was not proposed by
two'tLirds of constitutional Congress,
tho committee recommend the adoption
OF the resolution given above.

ed 'mparing tho obligation ofa contract.
IN tho act in question, stay is gwen to
tho debtor for tho payment of tho debt
extending. over period Of four years,
and The Governor argues that irthis
power, thus to stay execution, exists in
the Legislature, ho can see no Limitation
to its exercise except in legislative dis.
cretion. If 10 be competent to stav
execution duringaa period Of four y ears,
it is difficultto perceive what there is to
prevent an indefinite extension. The
Legislature postponed the considerations

When she breathcd tho lew goodbye,

Gov. JENKINS ON THE AMENDMENT.
In his message, Gov. Jenkins, OF
Georgia. discusses the constitutional
amendment. Ofthe third and most OBJ.
jectional clause, he sayst
The objection now urged against the
amendment is, that It will fall upon citi.
zens iulabiting one latitude like an
avalanche fIom its mountain perch,
crushing where it settles; whilst upoi.
those of another latitude it wifi alight
unfelt, likes feather floating IN still
air.
The third section engrans upon the
fundamental law new disqualification
for office, State and Federal-a disquali.
fication not the result Of any act to be
done after tho adoption eff the amend
mcnt, butsconsummatcd before it's con.
ception. The act en;ailng disqualified.
ton for Office consists in having hereto,
foro taken an oath to supper the Consl.
tuition of tho United States, and having
thereafter engaged in rebellion or insur.
rcction against the same, or "having
given aid and comfort to tho enemies
thereof" Considering the number of
our citize,s who have taken the oath
under the circumstances set forth, the
number personally engaged in the war,
and the breadth of ground covered by
tho words "giylng aid and comfort
thereof" !" We can readily perceive the
sweeping character of the disqualified.
ton. 1t IS as proscriptive as if the per.
sons to be affected had been ascertained
and their names inserted.
Let it be noted, also, that the pro-
scribcd are all dwellers on one side of
certain sgeograh,cal line, whilst the
authors. Of the prescription have their
local habitation on the other side.
ltis quite remarkable, moreover, that
there is in the entire section. no saving
in favor of those who. in the interval
of the cessation Of hostilities and The
