As matter OF course, this measure has effect upon
debts owing TO foreign creditors exceeding 500 in
amount which be sued for in the Federal Courts One
section IL intended the relief Of the banks whose
stockholders by their charters made liable 10 the
creditors for pro rata payment OF their notes but
most Of these notes now held in New-Iork 1t Is hard
TO see the ordinance will operate for their relief
what plea for nonpayment can be made by the stock
cral Court In fact, the whole amounts
TO no more than reputation OF the debts
ewing BY banks and others citizens OF Georgia, while
it, can have debts owing 10 citizens Of other
States o sufficient amount To be sued Tor 10 The United
states Courts II Is hard TO perceive also how the banks
can avoid the operation OF the Bankrupt Act under
which they would be obliged To make some showing OF
their assets which the Convention appeared 10 take for

MOTION TO RECONSIDER THE RELIEF ORDI-
NANCE-WEAKSESS OF THE ACr-DISCUSSfON
on THE EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT-DEATH
or MIR. RICHARDSON ANNOUNCED.
From SPECIAL Correspondent
ATLANTA Feb g. 1863.
AS | anticipated, q motion was made this
morning 10 recohsldef the rcei measure passed ychter
day. but the motion failed by about the vote by which IL
passed. The measure is OF very disiOntcd and
eccentric character and hardly stand the hard test
Of the Courts and the criticism 10 which will he sub
jectcd by astute lawyers. Many OF those who voted
against il did not that they believed that nothing OF
tho sort needed but because they morally
tain that measure OF relief which went far
toward reputation would be sanctioned by Congress
Republican Congressman, IL was understood, had
hard battle 10 light at home and some OF the opponents
OF the did not think IL wise give to North
friends greater burden TO bear in the shape OF what
might be called reputation. Their sanction VI Cons

rated In the Constitution of Georgia might he
