Times, Georgia correspondent says.
the efforts which are being made in
Georgia to arouse the people to the
| duty and necessity of taking an ac-
tive part in recognizing the State
Government, under the bill of Con-
gress, meet with little response. The
people do not like tha terms imposed
upon them, and they are, therefore,
dlsinclined to take any part in the
action under them. He also speaks
of the presence, in Augusta and else
where, of professional agitators, who
are doing everything in their power to
arouse the prejudices of race and
color, and to array the blacks against
the whites.

says delegations from the South are
arriving here daily for the purpose Of
obtaining the views of the President
on the Reconstruction bill. Gov.
Jenkins, of Georgia. the head of the
delegation from that State, will soon
be here, and among other important
questions involved in the operation of
the bill, to which he will call the
attention of the Administration, is
the reputation of the State debt
since the close of the war. The
Georgia Legislature passed a law
paying the old debt of the State by
the issue of new bonds, which being
issued under the authority of the
present Government, are declared ille-
gal by the bill, and are now worthless.
All of the Southern States are now in
the same predlcament, as they have
also issued bonds in the same manner

Weed effected this when last in this
city. One or two of the applicants
now here assert that the President has |
positively promised to send nomina

through whose hands they pass, and
by each of whom they are counted.
