The Georgia Census SupervisOrship.
A LIVELY TINE AMONG THE CONGRESSMAN FROM
THAT STATE.

AQ the Georgia members OF Congress have
now become involved in the contest over the
confirmation of Simmons as census supervisor,
and the question may have an important bear
ing upon the politics OF that state. To-day the
democratic members OF Congress from Georgia
who are opposed to Simmons confirmation held
conference and agreed to use all their inf1u-
ence in sustaining Senator Gordon. A paper
protesting earnestly against the confirmation
OF Mr.. simmons was signed, and IL will
be submitted 20 the Senate committee on
census and, il necessary, will be used
when the case comes before the Senate
in executive session for action. This protest
was signed, or will be. by Senator Gordon AMI
Representatives Nichols, Smith Cook Persons,
Hammond and Blount Senator Hill and Rep
resentat1ves stephens and FELTON, are support
ing Simmons, and it seems that Representative
Speer has not yet Joined either side of the con-
tIoversy. The question has assumed the phase
of fight between the regular democratic Or
ganization and the Independent wing OF the
party in Georgia. 1t is asserted that Messrs.
lIil, stephens and FELTON, are endeavoring to
conciliate republicans by confirming simmons,
and thus induce them to join the indie
pendents in overthrowing the regulardemocracy.
This intensitieS the contest, and 1t will be
waged to the end bitterly. In the discussion
before the census committee yesterday, Senator
Hill stated that Representative Nichols favored
confirmation. Senator Gordon denied this. and
remarked that he wanted more than the word
OF his colleague TO satisfy him 1t was true.

stephens, too The latter said he had heard
that the former was seeking to reject simmons
because he wanted eX-Marshal Smythe appoint
ed supervisor. General Gordon peremptorily
demanded TO know who had told this Mr..
stephens declined to give his authority, and
senator Gordon said: "Then | pronounce
it an infamous, internal falsehood from
whomever il may come" Prominent de-
mocratS OF Georgia are teiegraphing
to Senator Gordon their approval OF his course,
and gentleman who had seen some OF these
dispatches said to-day he '.believed Senator Hill
