OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES THEGAZETTE
FROM WASHINGTON.
ReeOnslructiOn-G Georgia and Iissis-
Sippi.

Recon tructiOR-Ge and MIssIs-
sippi.
WASHINGTON, January The House Ke-
construction Committee, at their meeting yes
tcrday, resumed the consideration OF political
affairs in Georgia, and considerable testimony
was taken favorable to the present State gov
ernment, which many of the witnesses claimed
was as good as the government OF some OF the
Northern States Other testimony favoring the
contemplated measures Of reconstruction, now
pending before Congress, was also taken.
To-day the committee has been engaged in
hearing evidence in reference to Mississippi,
and Judge Sharkey made long statement of
affairs in that State, occupying several hours
Virginia
1t is thought that Virginia will receive the
attention of the committee tomorrow or next
day. Some, who have an opportunity of
knowing, assert that the disabilities under
which the State Judges now rest, will be re-
moved at an early day. Mr.. Farnsworth IS
said to favor the removal at once, and the only
difficulty in the way seems to be to get the
committee to act.
Interesting Case.
In the Supreme Court, to-day, MIR. j. H.
Ipgersol made an interesting argument IN favor
of the lawful heirs of the late Stephen Girard,
who claim the profit not absorbed by Glrard's
devisees, to the college bearing his name, and
to the city of Philadelphia 1t is claimed that
the property is idle, and that its profits
should revert to Mr.. G.. heirs at law. The
heirs are French, are numerous, and many OF
themcitizens of France.
Congressional.
In the Senate, to-day. the bill prohibiting
any citizen from holding two offices, has been
under discussion.
In the House of Representatives the naval
appropriation bill is under consideration.
The Senate caucused for two hours this
morning on the order of business, but no def
mite result was arrived at, and in consequence
of the caucus there was no meeting of the
committees.
The Committee on Elections, of the House,
have given to Simeon Jones, of Louisiana,
time to take testimony in reference to his right
to a seat in the House.
