Dawson, McAllister, and Hepburn. • The bill was taken up, to authorize the State 1 to subscribe for stock to the amount of $750,000, in the Central Rail Road Company, and the ’ , Branch Companies to Forsyth and West Point, J j and a like sura in the Georgia Rail Road Com , pany,and its branches, in sums of SIOO,OOO each, , ; as soon as similar sums have been expended in : j the construction of each road ; the question be i ing on the reception of the substitute previously offered by Mr. Baber, “to create a public and transferable stock for the encouragement of the construction of Rail Roads in this State.” The J substitute (as afterwards amended,) provides, that when any incorporated Rail Road Company in the State, shall have expended SIOO,OOO on the construction of a Rail'Road, over and above the expenditures for surveys and implements of labor, the Governor, on a shewing thereof, by commis sioners to be appointed, issue and deliver to sUeh Company, a certificate or certificates of State Stock, in sums of not less than $5,000 each, to thrcc-follrlhs the amount of the sum so expend ed, tearing an interest of five per cent per annum, payable semi-annually, and not redeemable in less than twenty-five years ; and, in like manner, certificates to the amount of SIOO,OOO, for every $200,000 so expended, and shewn by the com missioners—tile Company to give a bond, in a penal sum of double the amount of such stock, for the payment of the interest, and principal as each becomes due, and a mortgage of the entire Kail Road, and all its implements anil appurte nances, which are to be forfeited to the State, if the Company fail to pay said interest or principal as aforesaid. It was decided to receive the substitute, in lieu of the original hill; and, the question being then on its passage, after a long debate, on the part of IMcssrs. Gordon, Nesdit, Kino of Glynn, Walker, Hepburn, Liddell, and Dawson, in favbrof it, and Messrs. Wood of Mclntosh. Saffohd, Alford, Crowell, Powell, and Floxd, against it, it was rejected —yeas 29, hays 50. House, Dee. 3.—Mr. Jeffries reported a bill to add a part of Wilkes county to Talliaferro ; which was read the first time. The bill to authorize tlic raising of $30,000, by Lottery, to build Masonic and City Halls in Co lumbus, was rejected —yeas 9, hiij's 119. On motion of Mr. Black of Scrivcn, the re ports of die majorily and minority, of the select Committee on lire depredations of the Creek In dians in the S. Western section, were taken up; and Mr. Dismukes, (one of the majority of said committee,) offered a substitute for both reports, much to the same effect as the report of the mi nority ; which was read, and Mr. Burner moved to recommit both reports, with the substitute, and the documents, to the same committee. Mr. Davis of Elbert, then occupied the floor for more than two hours, in an exceedingly able and luminous speech in opposition to the motion to recommit; in which he reviewed the whole subject, read the documents, clearly sustained the report of the majority thrdugliUUt, and severely attacked and exposed that of the minority, and also the vascillaling and imbecile conduct of Gov. Lumpkin. Repeated attempts were made to j silence him. by erics of “question,” a motion to ; adjourn, &c,; hut he coolly and dctertninatcly stood his ground, declaring that lie would not lie put down, and that if the motion io adjourn sue- j cccdcd, he would proceed in the mßrning, when he would be entitled to the floor. The reading! of the documents by the Clerk, was reffsed him ] by the Chair; the reading of the report of the ' majority, by Mr. Black, was endeavored to be drowned and silenced, by coughing, scraping, &c.; and Mr. Kenan again made a noble hut ineffectual appeal to his parly. Tire people will be enabled to judge pretty fairly and correctly ro m this, and the previous and subsequent pro- • i ccedings on the subject, of the true nature and 1 object of llto opposition to (lie report of the ma ’ jorily, and the enquiry into the official conduct of • Gov. Lumpkin. Those who have mahilcstcd ) that opposition, have been challenged to the en -1 quiry again and again, and dared to a disproval of 1 the charges,by a free examination of the (acts; 2 and told that those charges could and should be 1 proved, by those facts, to their very utmost ex e tent—and that though they might muzzle enquiry 1 there, and choke it dawn hy brute force, they | could not and should not do it elsewhere. In- j deed every thing has been said that could have . aroused their pride, and prompted them to the | 1 issue of an investigation. e After Mr. Davis concluded, the question to '» recommit was decided in the affirmdtivo—yeas e 76, nays 61. - Mr. Buhnes then moved to print the docu f ] xnents, only, and Mr. Fiounsor, to amend that V motion, so as to print the reports and substitute, i- also ; which was" negatived—yeas 61, nays 77 h and Mr. Burner's motion was adopted, and 300 0 copies were ordered. fj Senate, Dec. 4.—The Senate, on motion, re considered so much of the Journal »f yesterday, . as relates to the injection of the hill to create public and trahsferrahle stock, for the encourage ment of the construction of Rail Roads. The bill from the House, to amend the net in corporating the Central Rail Road Company, and give Banking privileges to that Company, was taken up, and after a long and animated discus -1 sion, which occupied the remainder of the sitting, - was laid on the table for the present, r House, Dec. 4.—The bill to reduce the num ber of Justices of the Inferior Court in each ’ county, from five to one, and compensate that 1 one, was taken up, and Mr. Holcombe offered a * . substitute for the sixth section, providing that I the salary of the Judge should be S2OO, and ten 2 per cent on the county Tax, when not over * $3,000, and five per cent when over that sum, 1 , which was received—yeas 76, nays CC. After | , which, and some discussion, mi the part of Messrs, I * Hill of Jasper, and Merhiwethkh, in favor of j I the bill, and Messrs. Strickland, Douurkrtt, * Davis of Elbert, and Tarver, against it, it was ) rejected— yeas 62, nays 81. , | The Report of the Select Committee on so ! | much of the Governor’s Message as relates to the ,! new Georgia Justice of Messrs. Gsekne and ■j Lumpkin was taken up; and tlic Resolution ae , companying it to subscribe for three thousand i copies of that work at three dollais each, to he sent to the offices of thej Magistrates, Sheriffs, Clerks. &c. throughout the Stale, was adopted— I yeas 115, nays 25—after some discussion, on the t part of Messrs. Davis of Elbert, Hudson, and i Tauter, ia favor of it, and Mr. Meuri wether, against it. i The bill to amend and explain the law of ’3l, authorizing tlic City Council of Augusta to con vey to the “Athens Rail Road Company” ten acres of the common of that city—so as to cor rect the er or as to the mime of the Gooigia Rail Road Company—w as passed. Bills rejected —to reduce the legal interest of this-State ID six per cent —and to relieve Samuel Buffington from his liability to the State as se curity—yeas 62, nays 70. Bills were reported, hy Mr. McKinlet, to ex tend, to the Superior and Inferior Courts, tlic provisions of the act of ’27, for the more speedy collection of open accounts —and to make origi nal papers on record always stationary, and all copies thereof to lie read in evidence. The hill to provide for the election of Clerks of tlic Courts of Ordinary by the people, was re ferred to a Committee of the whole in June next [From some circumstance or other, unknown to us, we have not received the proceedings of the Legislature of Saturday last, having received no letter from Mdlcdgeville since the one dated Friday evening—and wc are at present wholly at , a loss to account for our not receiving them.] I Correspondence of the Constitutionalist, I Millbdoevilee, Dec. 5, 1835. In the Senate, today, tlic hill to charter the Central Rail Road Company; was taken up, and ( its consideration resumed, which occupied that body, without intermission, fiom nine o’clock this morjiing, until five o'clock this evening.
