new election was held in Georgia, and on July 15, 1870, the

presented and ordered to lie on the table, but were subsequently
referred; on the same day of their presentation the act was
approved readmitting Georgia to representation in Congress. The
committee reported upon all the credentials January 23, 1871,
resolving that Messrs. Hill and Miller were duly elected; that
Mr. Hill should be permitted to take his seat, but that Mr.
Miller was disqualified by reason of his service in the
Confederate Army; this report was adopted February 1, 1871. A
joint resolution prescribing a qualification oath for Mr. Miller
was approved February 24, 1871) |
