WASHINGTON, March 1.-Goorgia
matters are very much mixed; the
best opinion is that tho whole ques-
ton will be referred back to the peo-
pie. The Judiciary Committees
report will favor no further Con-
gressional legislation, though it will
instance Irregularities in the recon-
struction Of the past and present
Legislatures, while reorganizing;
the present body will also recognize
the past Legislature up to the ex-
pulsion of the negroes. This view,
if adopted, will seat Senators Miller
and Hill. The Senate, however, by
close count favors seating the new
ly elected Senators, Whitley and
Farrow, and ultimately Blodgett
for the long term, commencing next
year.
A bitter and prolonged contest
certain.
