GEORGIA.
ATLANTA, Ga, January 2T.-ln the Sc
nate, resolution setting forth that IN GER
tain counties persons are driven from their
homes and their property destroyed on &C
count of their politics, and that the Senate
should furnish them protection, was laid
on the table.
In the House, a resolution was reintro-
duced TO appoint committee to investigate
violence done IN Warren and other counties,
and report why the civil authorities have
not brought the offenders to Justice. An
extract from the New York Tribune was
read, showing that Greeley believes the &C
counts of southern barbarism exaggerated.
A substitute was offered, that the Com
mittee on the State Of the Republic be in
structed to investigate the charges, with
power to send for persons and papers,
And report the result to the House. 1t was
defeated-S2 to 40.

tee 10 confer with Congress with Il view TO
re-seating the negro members was referred,
with the rest of the matter, 10 the Commit
Tee on the State Of the Republic.
The constitutional convention Of Georgia
will soon ble-so it is reported here.
The Legislative Finance Committee has
called on Governor Bullock for m account
| Of the $50 900 drawn from the Part; Bank
| of New York by him on State account aud
not accounted for. Go7crnor Bullock re-
| plies that the report Of the Treasurer is an
extraordinary ineinua;ion against the in
| tegrity of the Executive, and a conspiracy
in favor of Impeachment, because he
| wanted 10 put the Government under mill
tary rule. lie says the money was ad-
vanced TO insure the completion OF the CAPT
| tol (opera-housel. lie accuses the Treasurer
of duplicitv, deseCrating the integrity OF
the Executive, and advancing n political
movement in opposition to the present adj
ministration. He says the credit of Georgia
! is better than any other southern State, but
cannot be maintained By permitting 8ubor-
dinate officials TO make invidious attacks
on the integrity OF the Executive.
The Treasurer reports TO the Finance
| Committee that large amounts have been
| drawn, iuvol wing the Governor in the I'M
| lawful use OF the State funds. The drafts
we're drawn from Washington and the Fifth
| Avenue Hotel, New York, and the amounts
| used without authority OF law. Ii accuses
| the Governor OF extravaganza and unlawful
expenditure Of the Stlte funds in the en-
| ploYment Of three times as many clerks AZ
the Law allows, and giving them extra pay
| when absent half the time. The Governor
has made several trips North, and never sale
anything about the $1,000 until he founC
out that the Treasurer had gone 10 New
York to investigate the matter.
II is reported that the rupture betwee!
| Grant and Bullock is thorough. The Legis
lature will send commissioners to Congress
| about the reconstruction measures. Go
vernon Bullock's pretended Albion speech
has been exploded, and is considered {
weak subterfuge to excite the sympathy o
the Republican party.
