aud Senate reassemhlcd, aud tho
message of Gov. Bullock was re-
ceivcd aud read, llc commences by
announcing that on the 9Th of De-
ccmhcr he addressed communira'
ton Ia Congress, setting forth that
the reconstruction laws had not
been fully executed IN Georgia, lie
then proceeds to state that the re-
marSnhlc action of the Legislature
at its last session had induced n
careful examination of the law and
OF the manner of its execution to
ascertain how il was possible such
extraordinary results could occur,
He argues that strict adhcrancc TO
tho letter of the reconstruction acts,
would have prevented tho over
throw of them which has been nc.
complIshcd in Georgia. Congress,
he says, is tho sole interpreter of
the true int nts and meaning of
the reconstruction measures, and
the final arbitcr upon the question
of their execution. In the body Of

ing members Ineligible under the
1Ith amendment, and restoring col.
orcd members to seats; and IN case
it is not deemed wise to take this
course, then to adjourn, and leave
the whole matter to Congress-
where, in any event, the matter
must finally be disposed Of lie
further remarks that we may be
we'll assured that Congress will not
pause in tn, great work of regcnc-
ration until we fully acqulescc in
the great fact that our late slaves
are men entitled to all the rights,
privileges and immunities of other
men before the law; that until the
same freedom from prescription
which is how granted to the most
arrogant opponent of Congress is
secured to the humblest Union man
