Georria,s Electors Meeting.

ATLANTA, Ca, Dec. 6.-Georgia's Presi-
dental electors met to-day and organized by
electing j. G. G. Black of Richmond chair
man, and George Stewart secretary. No busi-
ness whatever was transacted. In reference
to the statute of the State, through which the
college was not called to meet, as by United
States law, on the first Wednesday of Decem-
ber, all the members agree that the statute is
very stupid and must be changed at once, vet
all express the opinion that Georgia's vote
will be counted now rs it was in 1868, in spite
of the irregularity, as it does not change the
result Much blame has been attached to
Gov. Co,quitt because he did not call the
Electors according to the statute of the United
States, but every one of the Electors exonerates
him and puts the blame on the law of the
State, which will be amended at once
