Republican member Of the House OF Represen-
tatIves, las written long letter to Hon. j. A.
Bingham, giving full accornt and "the real
causes of the difficulty in organizing the Georgia
Legislature" He says:-'The question which di-
vides the Republicans of the House is not DO
itical question, not of race or color, nor ques-
ton Involving the rights OF any class OF persons
as such, but one involving the consciences Of
honest men to work the interests of the STATE,
against corrupt faction composed of a few in
dlyiduals seeking to entrench themselves in po-
sinons which Will enable them to deplete the
treasury, ruin the credit OF the State. and ac-
cOmplish their purposes. Various devices were
resorted to before the members convened OH
Monday, the 10th instant, to intimdate and de-
ter them from taking the OATH" Mr.. Caldwell
says that If the Legislature of that State is al
lowedto organize that it will ratify the Fifteenth
Amendment.
1t appears that Gov. Bullock has deyeloped a
strong opposition i'm his own party, which is
headed by Bryant, the postmaster ut Augusta,
who has forwarded his resignation to Wash
ington. Mr.. Bryant writes that he has not
gone over to the Democrats, but has resigned
the office of postmaster at Augusta in order to
devote his energies to the State office which he
holds.
Data" ofthe Baltimore American, says that
Gen. Sherman states that .hc has not Or
dered Gen. Terry to arrest any of the members
Of the Legislature for alleged perjury. The
courts are in existence, and if any of them have
been guilty OF such an offence, they should be
properly indicted and tried, but until 50 tried
and found guilty, they should not be deprived
of their seats In the Legislature. Ii it shall be-
come necessary, cOurt-martial trials will be held
in absence OF civil courts. CptO two o'clock to-
day Gen. Sherman had received no advices from
Gen. Terry announcing the arrest of any of the
members of the Legislature. No order has gone
from the President instructing Gen. Terry to
