SUPREME EXECUTIVE COUNCIL. 407
"In witness whereof we have hereunto set our hands this twenty-fourth day of July in the year of our Lord 1779."
The Supreme Executive Council elected John Wereat President of the body, and he at once assumed the duties of Governor and discharged these duties as best he could under the unfavorable circumstances which surrounded him. Among other things he issued the following proch- mation :
"AUGUSTA, IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA, November 4, 1779.
"Whereas, from the invasion of the State by the enemy, in December last, the absence of many of the inembers elected to represent the different counties in the House of Representatives for the present year, with unavoidable catises, several ineffecttial attempts have been made to convene a Legal House of Representatives : and whereas, it is essential to the welfare and happiness of the State that a Legal and Constitutional House of Assembly should be convened: We, therefore, earnestly recommend to such of the citizens of this State as have preserved their fidelity to the cause of America, and were inhabitants of the counties of Chatham, Liberty, Glynn, Camden, and Effingham prior to the reduction of these counties by the British forces, to repair to such place within this State as to them shall appear most safe and convenient. on the first Tuesday in December next, that being the day ap- pointed by the Constitution for a general election through- out the State, in order to elect persons to represent those counties in the General Assembly for the ensuing year, that a full, free, and equal representation may be had to proceed on business of the utmost importance to the com- munity ; and it is the opinion of this Board, that this town would be the most eligible, in the present situation of

affairs, for the meeting of the Assembly, which will be the first Tuesday in January next, agreeable to the Con- stitution of the State.
JOHN WEREAT, President."
"By order of the Board."
In the meantime George Walton, George Wells, Rich- ard Howley, and their partisan friends, violently assailed the Supreme Executive Council, charging that they were usurpers and that at least some of them were disloyal and in sympathy with the Tories, and, finally, by a bold stroke of usurpation, held impromptu elections in Augusta in which refugees from the lower counties, and many others, voted and elected members to an unconstitutional body which they called a legislature, all the partisan friends of Walton, Howley and Wells. These men, together with a few members elected at the December election who had not participated in the convention that appointed the Su- . preme Executive Council, at once assembled at Augusta, organized by electing William Glasscock, Speaker, and on the 4th of November elected Walton Governor and appointed from their own body an Executive Council. Thus there were, for the remainder of the year 1779, two Executive Councils and two persons, Walton and Wereat, exercising the executive powers at the same time. Wereat and those who elected him their President seem to have been actuated by motives of pure patriotism and au earnest desire to save the distracted and devastated state from the further evils of anarchy; Walton, Wells and Howley, by jealousy, inordinate ambition and a desire for power and place. Walton's legislature continued in session for the remainder of the year and its actions, especially those in reference to General McIntosh, re- flected no credit on it.
When the first Tuesday in December, 1779, came the
409
CONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT.
people elected members for a new legislature in accordance with the proclamation of President Wereat, and the pro- visions of the constitution. This legislature met in Au- gusta on the 4th day of January, 1780, and elected Rich- ard Howley Governor, and selected from their own body a new Executive Council, according to law, and consti- tutional government was again, for a brief period, re- stored after a year of discord, faction and anarchy.
But it was only for a brief period. In May, 1780, Charleston was captured and occupied by the British, and a month later Augusta was occupied by Brown and Grier- son, the two notorious Tory leaders, and British soldiers were scattered all over both states. Prior to this, the General Assembly, aware of the defenseless condition of Augusta, and "deeming it unsafe and impolitic for the Governor and Council to remain thus exposed, desig- nated Heard's Fort, in Wilkes County, as a suitable place of meeting for transacting the business of the govern- ment of this State."
The Executive Council, acting on this suggestion, ad- journed on the 5th of February to meet at Heard's Fort. Governor Howley went to Philadelphia to take his seat in the Continental Congress to which he had been elected, and the executive powers and duties were entrusted to George Wells, the President, and three other members of the Executive Council. In a few days after he assumed the duties of Chief Executive, President Wells was killed in a duel by James Jackson, and Stephen Heard was chosen President of the Council. When Mr. Heard "re- tired to North Carolina" Myrick Davies was elected President. Thus, during nearly all the year 1780. the executive powers were exercised by three members of the Council, Wells, Heard and Davies, in a Fort near where the town of Washington now stands. The entire

state had been overrun and was held by the British ex- cept two counties, Richmond and Wilkes, and the cause of the patriots seemed lost beyond recovery. A pall of gloom hung over the devastated land until June, 1781, when the British commander at Augusta, together with the entire force under his command, was captured by Gen- eral Pickens and Colonel Lee, and that important post restored to the patriots. This was the beginning of the end of British rule in Georgia. Most of the state was recovered, and in August a Legislature was assembled at Augusta. Whether this legislature was elected on the first Tuesday in December, 1780, at the regular time pro- vided in the constitution, or at a special election after the enemy had been driven from the upper and middle parts of the state, there are no records to show; but it is probable that the members were chosen at special elections after the capture of Augusta, for the entire state, except two counties, being in the hands of the enemy in Decem- ber 1780, it is not probable that elections could have been held at that time in any counties other than Richmond and Wilkes, if indeed in them.
As to who ordered these special elections we are left to conjecture. for under the constitution and the law no one had authority to do it, the terms of office of both Governor Howley and his executive Council having ex- pired in January, 1781. It is probable, however, that, inasmuch as the semblance of civil government remaining in the state had been exercised during the year. 1780, by three or four members of Howley's Council at Heard's Fort, they ordered it. No matter when, or by whom it' was ordered, it was held, and a legislature elected which assembled at Augusta in August, 1781. It organized by electing John Jones, Speaker, and on the 16th it elected Doctor Nathan Brownson Governor for the remainder of the year. Edward Telfair, Williani Few, Noble Wym-

berly Jones and Samuel Stirk were chosen delegates to the Continental Congress. This legislature enacted sev- eral important laws, among them the following :---
"An act declaring certain persons who are therein de- scribed citizens of this State, and for burying in oblivion certain high crimes and misdemeanors."
"An Act to continue the several acts heretofore inade in the then province of Georgia, and also all acts made and passed by the several conventions, congresses and Houses of Assembly of the State of Georgia "
"An Act for the prevention of internal conspiracies and for empowering certain committees therein named to ex- amine into the conduct of certain suspicious persons."
On the first Tuesday in December, 1781, the day fixed in the constitution, members of the legislature for 1782, were elected in the several counties. This legislature met in Augusta on the first day of January, and on the second, John Martin was elected Governor.
In this running review of occurrences during the progress of the struggle for independence we have now arrived at the period from which we have been able to find Minutes of the Executive Department and Journals of the Legislature which are printed in the next and suc- ceeding volumes of our compilation. To these we refer the reader for information concerning the civil govern- ment of the state during he remainder of the Revolution- ary period, and bring this introductory narrative to a close.
SALES OF CONFISCATED ESTATES. 413
Under the Act of May 4, 1782, providing for the con- fiscation of the estates of persons who had, during the struggle, been disloyal to the state, and the selection by the House of Assembly of a Commission consisting of two persons from each county, except Glynn and Camden from which there should be one commissioner, to take possession of and sell, for the benefit of the State, all the property, both real and personal, of the disloyal, a Com- mission was organized and began its work on the thirteenth day of the following June. Among the archives of the State is found the following imperfect Journal of the transactions of this Commission.
