The report of the committee of the Legislature of Georgia, censuring Gov. Clark, for his conduct in removing colonel Hammond, the secretary of state, passed the house of representatives on the 19th inst. 57 to 45. The friends of the governor resorted to every possible expedient to vary the result, but without success—the greatest confusion is said to have reigned in the house during the discussion of the report. Four of the governor's friends absented themselves at the time of counting the votes.

The report has irritated the governor, and he is said to have sent some rude messages to the legislature. There is a prevailing party in the two houses opposed to the governor, and the irritation between the legislative and executive departments of the state is very high.
