LATE NEWS BY WIRE
Georgia Legislature Condemns the
President Appointing Negroes.
HOGANSVILLE POSTMASTER CITED
Resolutions Declare 1t Was Made
Through Partisan Spite.
APPEAL TO PUBLIC OPINION

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
ATLANTA Ca, October 27.-The legis-
lature me. today, and its first act was 4
vhacS at President Mckinley, which was
as vicious as it was unexpected. Repre-
sentative Hall. who is a law partner of
Gcv- Atkinson, introduced resolution con-
demning the appointment of negro post
masters.
The Hogansville shooting was made the
text of a measure, which is as follows:
Whereas, il the town of HogansvilIc,
state of Georgia, the President of the
United States has seen proper to appoint
to the office of postmaster a man whose
appointment was opposed by 80 per cent
of the property owners and responsible
citizens of that community; and,
Whereas, in no other section of the
Crited States would the President make Or
permit to be made an appointment of like
character. On the Pacific slope the Presi-
dent would not dare appoint as postmaster
of any town a Chinaman over the protest of
so per cent of its property owners and re-
sponsibie citizens nor would he dare in any
town in the north or east to appoint to local
office one who was opposed by 80 per cent
of the best people of that locality. and
Whereas, on the night of September 16,
1877. unknown parties shot and attempted
to kill said appointee. therefore
Resolved by the house of representa- tives
of the general assembly of the state Of
Georgia. That We condemn in measured
terms. the lawless conduct of would-be as
Sassins.
Resolved. That we deplore this and SINH
lar appointments as exhibition of petty
spite and narrow sectional hate unworthy
the high Office Of chief magistrate of this
great nation.
Resolved That we appeal to impartial
public opinion to enter its powerful pro-
test against presidential appointments to
office for manifest purpose of affronting
and humiliating community of American
citizens for no other reason than difference
in party utilization.
When on question the motion was put it
was carried by vive voce vote.
