The Georgia --Republican
COnveEtion-Resoiusfo Passed.
ATLANTA, March S.-The Senate to-day passed
general educational bill.
In Republican convention held here on the 5th
a resolution was adopted that the government of
Georgia is as practically aud completely under
the control of those who spurn the government of
the United States and the policy of Congress- as it
was during the rebellion, and cannot therefore be
recognized as legally or actually reconstructed !;
therefore urgently and earnestly ask Congress to
provide for the rigid enforcement thereof under the
authority of the United States by reassembling the
persons elected to the General Assembly in April
last, and the exclusion from the organization of
those who are ineligible under the law. This was
the resolution passed, instead of one calling for a
resssembling Of the constitutional State conven-
ton.
