publican candidates for Congress In

GEORGIA TO nE CORRECTED.
There appears TO be but one opinion
among Republican Senators as to the
course TO be pursued In reconstructlng
Georgia. All agree that the legislature
must meet and restore the expelled ne.
gro members. The bill introduced by
Senator Morton provides that the mill.
tnry commander shall call together the
old legislature for the purpose OF ratl-
Tying the Fifteenth Amendment, and
that all those who cannot take the test
oath he excluded. The negro members
are 10 be admitted to seats, and all the
acts Of the legislature subsequent to the
expulsion OF the negroes to bs null and
void. This bill, there Ia reason 10 be-
lieVe, embodies substantially the view
entertained by President Grant As the
only proper course that can now be
pursued. Il Is the Intention to press
this measuse through the Ssnale this
week ifpossible.
