Report eE ths ,lpdjciiry Commitees ON the Re-
construction Of Georgia.
In compliance with resolutions Of tie Sen ate in.
structng its Judiciary Committee to inquire and re.
port whether the Legislature OF Georgia has been
reorganzed in accordance with the provisions OF the
act passed at the present session ITO promote the
reconstruction of that State' and whether any
further legislation necessary upon the subject OF
the organization Of the provisional Legislature In
Georgia, the committee this morning made report
which was presented by Mr.. Edmunds. The report
recltes the manner OF the organization OF the pro-
vsonal State government In 1885, the fact OF its ap
pr0val by the military commander OF the district,
the subsequent expulsion OF the negro members OF
the Legislature and the consequent passage by Con-
gress OF the act Of December o. 1862 which coners
upon the General Assembly Of the state the exclusive
power to perfect Its. organization. There being no
for interference construction comforting such
authority either upon the Governor Military Com.
mander under this act, the Governor OF Georgia
summoned the persons elected to the Legislature as
named in prociamaton OF General Meade, to as
sembie IN Atlanta on January 10, 1870; and o
QUORUM o. the senate took the oaths prescribed and
tails the circumstances attending the organization
OF the House OF Representatives and the part taken
by one Harris, not member or of1lecr, but who mad
been designated to call the body to order by the
Governor and calls attention the fact tnat Harris
continued to preside and to adjourn the body from
time to time, at MS own pleasure. without consult
ing the House. He also determined what persons
who had appeared a. members should be permitted
from day to day to take the prescribed oath take
their seats. This proceeding was ratified by tho
General in command at Atlanta. who, subsequent to
the passage OF the act OF December %, 1859, had
been appointed to the command OF Geor-
gia as military district, under the
act OF March 2, 1857. A statement u then made OF
the action Of General Terry in directing the exclu-
sion Of certain parties from the Legislature until
their cases should be favorably reported upon by
military commission which he organized. Three
mem bers elect were thus excluded and the admis.
sion OF other persons delayed until they should
be relieved from their political disabilities. Upon
this hlsto ry the committee is constrained TO say
that, In It's opinion the before above mentioned ac-
ton OF the military authorities was not authorized
by law. Tho Legislature elected in Georgia was In
tended by Congress to take the place OF the proy-
sional government as permanent one This seems
perfectly clear, and the same view taken by the
General OF the Army BY mis- order to General Meade
ol March 2 1868. The correction OF any msappre-
neuston or the act OF Congress could be made by
Congress, but the military. The Commits ee
