8. T H E AT LAJfTA WEEKLY SUN the daily sun Sunday Morning November 19 GEORGIA LEGISLATURE. I Another Unsettled Item. "When H. L Kimball sold tlie Opera House to the State of Georgia there was a mortgago of $00,000 upon it—which mortgage is still unpaid. This mortgage was for that amount of money loaned to Kimball by the North Western Mutual Life Insurance Company, to enable him to pay the purchase money, and assist in the building. That mortgage is still unsatisfied. Not a cent of the principal has ever been paid, and the interest on it since May last is due. Bullock knew that mortgage was against the property when it was pur chased by the Legislature. Kimball knew it was unsatisfied when he deeded it to the State, warranting it to be free from ail liens. Bullock paid Robert H. Brown $500 to investigate the title, and accepted his opinion thut the title was good. Mr. Brown must have known of the mortgage, for his law partner at the time, Jbeige Hopkins, knew it. The Life Insurance Company named, of which Dr. Wm. H. White is the effi cient agent in this city, loaned this mon ey here, and in addition to the security of the mortgago on the property, re quired the building on it to bo kept in sured, in the sum of $60,000, and the policies properly assigned to the North- Western Mutual Bollock has been keep ing up this Fire Insurance, paying the premiums with the people’s money, and specifying on the face of the policies, that the loss, if any should occur, must be paid to the company holding this mortgage. Another fact is significant. The deed made by Kimball to the State of Geor gia, has never been recorded, uuless it has been done within a few days past. Wo have not yet near reached the bot tom of the frauds and robberies perpe trated byj the Kimball-Bullock-Blodgett Ring. •_ The Public Printing.—Tho bill re ported by Maj. Hillyer to tho Senate does not reach the evil that exists, and is worth but littl**, if anything. If we un d’erstand it eoivoctly, it only proposes to reduce the am mtol printing to be done, and the profi. on the cost of the same from 30 per c at. to 25 per cent. We have not seen the bill, but are told that these are the main features in the reform proposed in the bill. This amounts to almost nothing, and is not worth tae time taken up in its consideration. If the Legislature means retrenchment; if the members really de sire to cut off all unnecessary expenses and every possible source of corruption, and lighten the burdens of the people, let the root of the evil be struck at. The mere lopping off of one or two small branches is a trifie, unworthy of the attention of meD. SEVENTEENTH DAY S PROCEEDINGS. SENATE. Monday, November 20.

Bills on first reading: By Mr. Simmons—To prevent any claim against the State being paid by the Treasurer until the same has been passed upon by the Legislature. By Mr. Clarke—To amend an act in corporating the town of Thomasville, The Senate adjourned. Baptist Colored Ministers’ Insti tute.—This praiseworthy enterprise is now in session at Milledgeville, Georgia, hiving commenced the 14th instant, md w . uuntinue till the 8th Decomber. The iuoutnte is for the instruction and ti-ui - ing of colored ministers, and is a work of deep interest and importance. Rev. E. W. Warren, the pastor of the First Baptist Church, in this city, is the Su perintendent, and is now at Milledgeville. Married, Convicted op Theft and Gommitted to Jail.—Avery inauspicious honey-moon was commenced in our city on last Saturday. Mr. Frank Jones, an employee on Mr. John James’ new resi dence, appeared before Justice Butt yes terday, charged with stealing an over coat from Mr. G. W. Pool, on Saturday. He was committed to jail to await his trial. The romantic part of the adven ture is, that Mr. Jones was married Sat urday, stole tho over-coat on Snuuux, and went to prison on Monday. Unfor tunate bride. Domestic Economy—A lady, v»u.»hu8 a school in the *oity, wishing to s .out a text-book on Domestic Economy , .un to one of our bookstores, on Snu.nl. . , and asked to be allowed to see a!’ U.c works on that science that wmo ..i .Lc store. The obliging clerk at ume • menoed ransacking tho sholv.-s u.m .e returned with an armful of e - ,Z £#, which he spread, out for M.o .- i . .. ex amination. The young genii, .-u was somewhat embarrassed wheu Lis mistake was explained; albeit tbe error was a natural one, as tbe name of the book that was wanted should be consider. «t in the preparation of those that were ex hibited. Athens vs. Watkinsvxlle.—This ques tion is arousing a good deal of debate, investigation and antagonism in the Leg islature. So persistent and unceasing have been the efforts of the parties con cerned that the once purely local question claims the attention of the whole Legis lature. Those who oppose the removal of the Court House from Watkinsville have sought to introduce a substitute submitting the question to the discretion of ihe Ordinary, which, it is alleged, would virtually defeat the removal. An other substitute has been suggested to submit the case to popular vote of the county. The advocates of Athens meet this with the fact that 1,400 petitioners against 600 shows the sentiment of the majority. They further urge that the bitterness of feeling, strife aud conten tion, incident to such an election, would estrange friends and families, and divide sections of the county beyond the hope of recon (filiation. Many friends of the move are anxiously awaiting the action of the Legislature. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The House met at 10 a. m., Speaker Smith in the chair. Prayer by Rev. Mr. Cox. Journal approved. Mr. Crittenden moved to reconsider so much of Saturday’s proceedings as relate to the adoption of the report of the Com mitteeon Privileges and Elections declar ing that there had been no election in Calhonn county. He said that his object in favoring a reconsideration was that further time may be given to Mr. Pierce in order that he may get up some testi mony in the case. Mr. Peeples thought that the matter had been thoroughly investigated by the committee and fully discussed' by the House, aud said that he was opposed to reconsideration. The motion did not prevail. Mr. Lipsey moved to reconsider so much of the last day’s proceedings as re late to the loss of a bill for the relief of John T. Whitset, of Lee county. The motion did not prevail. Mr. Pierce of Hancock, moved to re consider the action of this House in passing a bill to provide payment to physicians of fees for services to pau pers in certain counties. Air. Pon favored the motion, urging thut the law, as it stands in the Code, au- th< 'ri/.t n such payineut. l'nia motion prevailed. Mr. Simtmns of Gwinnett, moved to reconsider so much of Saturday’s pro- i#...‘•lings as relates to the loss "t a bill to authorize the use oi ibis year's State tax in his county, for the purpose of building a court house in said county; he thought that the reduction of the per diem of mem bers would be better economy than to keep a county out of a court house. Mr. W. D. Anderson said that Cobb county has no court bouse, and he de sired to have the reconsideration prevail so thut the matter may be investigated and the bill allowed to pass with some additional counties added, if the State e u afford to do without the tax from these couuties. Mr. McMillan, also, favored the mo tion, aud thought Mr. Auderson’s idea of having an investigation made was a good one. Mr, Pierce opposed the motion, re marking that if the door is opened, fifty counties would be added—he was as ready as Mr. Simmons to vote for a re duction of per diem. Mr. Bush also opposed the motion, saying he was in favor of economy, and ready to put his per diem as low as any other man. Sir. Griffin of Houston favored the motiou to reconsider, and thought that a feeling of magnanimity for those coun ties which have not lost so much to aid those counties which were particularly uufortunate duriug the war. Mr. McMillan moved to suspend the rules to take np a resolution instructing the Joint Finance Committee to report a special bill to-morrow morning,looking to the reduction of per diem. The motion prevailed aud the resolution was adopted. Mr. Hunter moved to suspend the rules to allow Mr. Craig to move a re consideration of the action of this House on Saturday in defeating a bill to amend the road law. By unanimous consent the bill was al lowed to prevail, and the bill set down for future action as reconsidered. The special order of the day, to-wit: The bill to investigate the affairs of this State was taken np. Mr. Phillips offered a substitute for the bill, which substitute provides for the appointment of a joint committee of ten to make the investigation. Mr. Hoge stated that the Judiciary Committee were evenly divided, and it was intended that the bill, with amend ments, should be reported back without amendment. Mr. Simmons, of Gwinnett, offered a substitute for the whole, providing for the appointment of a joint committee ol seven to make the investigation proposed immediately. This substitute was allowed to be read for information. Mr. McMillan offered a resolution de claring that each member voting for the passage of this bill would donate one hun dred dollars of his per diem as pay for those who make the investigation, and an additional two per cent, of all sums recovered as compensation. This resolu tion was read for information. Mr. Scott said that he had offered the bill to appoint an outside Commis sion to make this investigation, through the advice of some of the most learned men in this State; that it was not de signed by him to make any reflection upon this intelligent and patriotic Legis lature; but that a full, complete, rigid and fair investigation into tke_ stupen dous frauds that have been perpetrated npon our State, may be made, and in the selection 7 of the gentlemen who are named in the bill, those have been chosen whose reputation is not confined to Geor gia, but whose integrity and learning are known throughout the nation. There are many intellectual and sterling young men in the General Assembly, but their leputation has yet to be made, and public confidence outside of their own sections is yet to be gained to that ex tent which would satisfy the great demand to be made in the conduct of this great responsibility. Committees have before been appointed by the Leg islature to make investigations somewhat similar to this, and in no instance have the people been satisfied. There are ma ny intelligent men in this Legislature who are unwilling to accept this great responsibility if it could be avoided.— One objection urged against this outside commission, is that the gentlemen pro posed are ineligible, but the question of eligibility does not apply to men who are to take testimony for the use of this General Assembly. Instances of this question of eligibility are found in the Pennsylvania Reports. The most thor ough and satisfactory plan to make this investigation should be adopted, and to take members from the General Assem bly would be to put their counties with out representatives during the time this investigation is being made.— Wise and shrewd scoundrels have had hold of the affairs of this State, and their tracks have been so covered up that it will take the keenest and most searching eyes to detect iheir villainies. Mr. Cummin g said that no odium which could be heaped npon the men who are said to have plundered our State and Treasury would be more intense than that which already attaches to them, and the most important matter now to be attended to is to sift tho question of ille gal issues and use of bonds so as to find out to which of them the State can and ought to plead non esl factum. The men who have perpetrated these outrages are deeply skilled in villainies and will require great care, labor and skill to find them out; but while that is true, he was unwilling to admit that this Legisla ture is unequal to the task. The 14th Amendment would be used in the outset to retard the action of the outside com mission, and while the gentleman from Flyod dwells so much on experience, he leaves out energy and zeal, which are more important elements in the prosecu tion of this matter. Besides, it is not pre tended that the outside commission could be induced to act for the same compeu sation as members of this General As sembly, and that, from information re ceived, the people expect their represen tatives, whom they elected for this pur pose, to do the work. M;. Phillips said that ho appreciated Mr. Scott’s motives in desiring the ap pointment of an outside commission, as well as tho high attainments and un doubted integrity of those who are to compose it; out the members of this General Assembly were elected to do this very work, and they are competent and ought to be willing to stand up man fully and do whatever work the good of tho State may demand; beside, it would cost about twenty thousand dollars to pay this outside commission, while the members ought and would do the work for a reduced per diem. Moreover, un der the bill, these outside commissioners could not even give an opinion even after they have made the investigation, and the responsibility would at last come home to the General Assembly. Leave of absence was granted to Messrs. Flynt, Lipsey, Taylor, Howell Bateman, and Ormand. Pending Mr. Phillips speech, the House was" declared adjourned until a. h. to-morrow. loss of a quarter of a million dollars in the Hannibal and St. Jo stock, in which the officers and directors are alleged to have speculated with its funds. Mr. Semmes, its Secretary and Factotum to Hank Smith, stated last evening it would not be able to open doors soon, if at all. There were rumors last evening that the Yorkville Savings Bank, of which Henry "W. Genet is President, had borne heavy run, that its assets were entirely insufficient, and that a crash was inevita ble. The depositors are mainly of the poorer class. The officers of this institu tion say that there was no run upon it, that its deposits are under $100,000, that its directors are men of wealth, and will be able to make good any deficiency in the event of such unlooked for circum stance as insolvency. The World says that Judge Hogan, one of the directors of the bank, said' last night that fmless there was fraud no se rious trouble could result, and if there was fraud he would not be sorry to see the guilty party hung to the nearest lamp post; that the poor men whose hundred dollars had been taken from them would be very likely to take the law into their own hands. The Judge never attended the meeting of the board though nomi nally an officer. The Secretary and Wal ter Roche, however, assured him that all was right. The officers of the National Savings institution, corner of Houston and Broadway streets, of which John Mc Bride Davidson, the ring’s safe man, is President, deny that it has suspended. MONDAY’S DISPATCHES. NEW YORK. Resignation of Connolly—Election In spectors Bailed—More Frauds—The Sa -rings Banks—A Sachem On Tweed- Great Ado Over Alexis. TELEGRAPH NEWS Dy the New York Associated Press SUNDAY’S DISPATCHES. WASHINGT ON UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA. Demosthenean Debate—Anni versary Orators. New York, November 20.—Connolly has resigned and Mayor Hall has ap pointed Andrew H. Green Comptroller. B jturns from several election districts are found to be defective. Three elec tion inspectors have been arrested and held in $20,000 bail. Alexis has arrived, and is at the Clar endon Hotel. The Guardian and Bowling Green Savings Banks have been closed. The National Savings Bank pays all demands. Emanuel B. Hart, a leading Tammany Sachem, says Tweed must resign his membership of the Tammany Society and of the Democratic General Commit tee, and, if he does not, measures will be taken to force him out. The 'steamer Mary 'Howell, with the Reception Committee and members of the Press, started down the hay to greet Alexis. Notwithstanding the heavy rain, hundreds of elegantly dressed ladies ac companied the committee, and hundreds of persons stood upon the pier regardless of the storm. The committee have decided there shall be no parade to,day in consequence of the storm. The Reception Commit tee will board the Svetland and ask the Grand Duke whether he prefers to pro ceed at once to Washington, or remain here and have a public reception to morrow. Broadway is thronged with expectant citizens, the news of the postponement of the procession not having been pub lished. The Russian frigate, bearing Alexis, sustained no damage—did not ship a sea during the terrible storm. Alexis was dressed in the simple uniform of a Lieutenant; is tall, strongly Luilt, and has the air of a gentleman; clear complexion, light hair aud whiskers, blue eyes, speaks English quite fluently but appears to prefer French. The frigate met a storm off Hatteras on the lUth, which lasted until Friday night, when observation showed her forty miles off Cape May. Twenty-three additional cases of small pox have been reported since Saturday at noon. The Executive Committee of the Com mittee of 50, appointed to investigate the charges of frauds in the Brooklyn City Government, have requested the Com mon Council to furnish such facilities as will enable the committee to accomplish its purposes. Proceedings in Bankruptcy have been commenced against the Guardian Savings Bank. The Grand Duke accepts a public re ception to-morrow, until which time he remains on board the Svetland. Athens, Ga., Nov. 20, 1871. Editors Atlanta Sun: We were high ly entertained, on the night of the 17th inst., by six select debaters, in a public debate of the Demosthenean Society. The young men certainly did themselves justice, and admirably represented their society. All the debaters did very well, yet we feel we express but the opinion of the majority of the audience, in say ing that Mr. Leonard Phinizy made the speech of the night. The night was fa vorable and the audience flattering. We hope to witness another such entertain ment soon. These public debates ought certainly to work out good to the socie ties, and, as far as *we can judge, .they have been of great advantage. On Saturday, the 18th inst., the two literary societies elected their anniversa- ns. The Demostheneans elected Hr. A. H. Gray of Graysville, Catoosa coun ty. The Phi-Kappas elected Mr. J.‘C. Avery of Pensacola, Florida. A. A. What Motive Prompts Them ?—We observe that the Macon Telegraph, Alba ny News, Savannah Republican,Milledge ville Union, Newnan Herald, Griffin Star, and perhaps other papers, are opposing a reduction of the compensation now al lowed by law to the State Printer; and are earnestly condemning the proposi tion to correct existing abuses and extrav- Why should these papers, iu such unison, raise this cry ? How are they concerned iu it ? Why should their edi tors desire a continuation of the extrava gant compensation now allowed by law, and the chance for a continuation of the combinations, bargainings, and corrupt praotices of the past ? The Cotton Claims Commission Washington, November 19.—A. large number of cotton cases are before the Court of Claims, which will soon resume its session. Some of them will depend for their allowance npon a decision to be rendered by the Supreme Court of the United. States on appeals, the Court of Claims having recently decided against the claimant on the ground that the proclamation of the President removing commercial restrictions went into effect at the time of its publication, and not on the day of its date. The non-suited party contended that it took effect at the time the original copy was filed in the department of State. There having been seizures of cotton between the date of the proclamation and the day of its publication, the decision of the Supreme Court therefore becomes important in the adjudication of these claims, the proclamation having, in its effect, dis pensed with cotton seizures.

Detroit, November 20.—The schooner Twilight foundered in the Lake on the 15th. Six of the crew were lost. What is the use of some of the papers of Georgia trying to make it appear that thirty per cent, upon cost is a very small profit—especially iu a large business ? more especially, when the man who gets the benefit of the thirty per cent, profit has a chance to make the “cost” as large as his conscience will allow ? There is not a paper in the State of Georgia, now advocating the continuance of the present law in relation to the Pub lie Printing—urging that the pay is little enough, &c.—that would not be glad to get ten dollar jobs at a profit of thirty per cent.; and if the State Printing were to be done for a private individual or corpo- ration, not one of these papers would re fuse so big a job at a clear profit of even five per cent., while ail would seek for it anxiously at ten per cent, profit Capt. B. H. True.—Oapt. True, of Madison, was in the city yesterday. He has just returned from a visit to his old home in Rochester, N.. Y. He came to Morgan county immediately aftei the . He was a Captain in the Federal service, but came South without any bitter resentments, and came also to make a living and make money—not by playing the part of a carpet-bagger, but by hard work, and by honestly casting his lot with the Southern people. Notwithstanding he is a Northern man, who was in the Federal army during the war, and, we believe, is a Republican in politics, yet he has the confidence and respect of everybody in Morgan county. He is not afraid of the Ku-Klux Klan. He has induced a number of Northern families to settle in Morgan county, who, like him, have gone to work, and are not trying to rob our people—as mere carpet bag adventurers do. They are all doing well, and are respected and treated as neighbors by the people. . ?i CDE 1 s ?. r ? en 7_ to ?}; green salt 8} ' to Si; dry hides 15 to 16 * Onions—$3 00®4 00 per barrel. iOBACCo—Low grades 55@56c • com mon, o8@Gi>; good, 75@90 ; fine,’ §1@ W 25; choice brands, $1 25@1 50. ^ ri-7 K< ^D Swe ^ e ^ c; horse shoe iron 7c- Mills and Pittsburg bar 6c. 5 Mackerel—Half bbls.

He evidently intends to veto it; if not, he would have approved it be fore now. He will doubtless send in his veto to-dav, as we believe it will become a law without his approval, if it is not returned with his objections to-day. Meantime, the friends of Bullock and the plundering “ring,” have been, in a very sly way, bringing every possible in fluence to bear on some Democrats to make them weak in the knees, so as to prevent the passage of the bill by the Legislature over tbe veto.
