SENATE,

A petition was presented by Mr.. Ham,
lin for an appropriation for the support
of the destitute poor of Washington.
A petition was presented by Mr.

WASHINGTON, January Ia.
The situatiou in Georgia.

Ene SItuattou IN ~eoFSas
The situation in Georgia is regarded
as very grave and important. Ieie-
grams have been going back and forth
from this point to Atlanta yesterday
and to-day in great numbers. Some OF
the facts in the matter were given last
night. Governor Bullock telegraphs
that twelve Of the members of the Leg
islature who took the oath committed
perjury in SO doing; that the Democrats
are jubilant and defiant; that they will
overthrow the loyalists, unless General
Terry turns out the disqualified men,
bers and seats Others, and that
the case is critical and demands
immediate attention from the President.
Captain Bryant, one of tie members OF
the lower branch, and late Postmaster
ut Augusta, sends q long dispatch, say
ing that he stands by his record as n
Union soldier and Republican, and has
resigned his postoffice in order to serve
his State, aud that no matter what any
body charges he intends remaining in
his party and doing what he can to
purisy it. He charges Bullock with cor
ruptiop; with acting illegally in the
organization of the Legislature; with
trying to serve selfish ends; with being
willing to jeopardize everything else for
the sake Of securing his own election to
the United States Senate. He says that
if Ballock permits the organization of
the General Assemblyit will promptly
ratify the Fifteenth Amendment, elect
anti-Bullock Senators, and fully comply
with the requirements of the recon-
struction laws. The tenor Of other dis
patches from Atlanta, including some
thing from General Terry, is that Bull
lock is trying his best to so manipulate
as to get elected to the United States
Senate. The general telegraphed
yesterday that th"=e was considerable
excitement, Ba. says to-day that
things are comparatively quiet. He in
quires of the War Department what he
may dc in the case of sheriff who is
making good deal of trouble, and Gen
eral Sherman responds that he may be
removed in Terry's discretion. Terry
also telegraphed to-day inquiring what
might be done in Cases where members
of the Legislature were unseated, and
General Sherman was at the capital
this afternoon consulting with Senator
Trumbull and other lawyers. This
evening he telegraphed to Terry
that the person receiving the next high
est number of votes for seats should be
sworn into them, in accordance with
the laws of Georgia. The President has
instructed Terry to proceed with the ut
most caution in the whole work OF re-
organization, but to use decisive meas.
ures if they become necessary, and it
may be we'll enough to add that as Bal.
lock is nothing but Provisional Cover.
nor, he is subject to removal by the
Commanding General.
