Imnortant Decision.

1t will he seen from our Geographic de-
spatches of yesterday that the General As
scmbly of Georgia received communication
from Gov. Bullock informing them that
General Meade would not recognize the
body as legal until the members elect, who
are ineligible under the Omnibus Bill, had
been expelled
The following communication from Gen
eral Meade in reply to Governor Ballock's
letter notifying him of the organization of
the two Houses, is in entire accord with the
action of the General Assembly, of North
Carolina in excluding from their seats men,
bers elect who are barred by the provisions
of the Omnibus Bill. The following is Gen.
Meade's communication
beg leave to state that have no instruc
tons to give you, further than to make
known that in my judgment neither House
is organized legally until they have conf
piled with the requisiti0n of the recnnstruc-
ton acts, and the act which became law
June 25, 1S6S-all of which prohibit any
one holding office under the State who is
excluded by section 3, of the amendment to
the Constitution, known as Article XIV.
1t is not my purpose to dictate to the
two Houses how or when they will apply
this test to the several members, but in view
of the fact that the Legislature until the
State is admitted by compliance with the
requirements OF the acts of Congress is only
provisional, and subject to the authority OF
the District Commander, it is my duty so
long as the Military Government exists, to
see that the law be faithfully executed.
Of course all other persons elected to Off
ces ineligible on the same ground, will not
be allowed to qualify for the same reasons.
