ATTEBNOON SESSION.

Milledge, of Richmond ; and Harris, of Fulton.—
M ssrs. Jones, of Musoogee ; Johnson, of Cass;
Lewis, of Hanoook ; and Thornton, of Musoogee,
opposed the Bill. I cannot flatter myself that a
synopsis of the speeches would be more interest
ing to your readers 1 ban tbe addresses were (when
accompanied by the graceful gesticulations and
practised enunciation of the speakers themselves,)
o the House and the audience. As the immediate
lookers-on manifested their disinterestedness by
engaging in a jovial and confusing ohit chat du
ring the disoussion, I can bnt oonclude that your
readers would grow drowsy over any sketch 1
-night offer of it. The discussion wss not con
fined to the Bill immediately under consideration,
bnt embraced iu its whole afternoon grasp the
broad theme of education. The views of tbs gen
tlemen were as conflicting as they were numerous.
The Bill was lo9t when noses were counted. lam
sorry that the discussion of tbe Bill showed that
several, who opposed this Bill, were in favor es
other schemes, less practicable, I oonoeive, and
le-s worthy than the very modest, but still im
proper appropriation asked for. V.

of Jaoob Mercer. Messrs. Landrum, of Ogle

The House was ehiefiy occupied this morning in
the consideration of numerous private bills, bills
of relief, for obanging names, <fco , Ac., which,
though they oonsumed time, leave me not a great
deal else to report. I make a note below of snch
matters as posses general interest.
Wri t., RxaoLonorrs, Ao , Rkvobted.—By Mr.
Crook, of Chattooga, a resolution requeeting of the
Governor an accurate account of appropriationa
heretofore made to Literary and Medioal Colleges
In this State, together with the dates thereof.—
Adopted.
By Mr. Lawton, of Chatham : A Bill to grant
State aid to certain Inoorporated Railroad Compa
nies in this State, in the farther prosecution of
their works, upon certain conditions. This is a
very lengthy bill, and difficult of synopsis. It
contemplates giving aid to the following compa
nies:
To the Southwes ern, at the rate of 96,000 per
mile, to an amount not exceeding 9500,000.
To the Brunswick A Florida Road, at the rate
es 96,000 per mile, and not exceeding 91,000,000.
To Savannah, Albany A Gnlf Road, same as
above.
To the Road lrom Athens to connect with the
Rabun Gap Road, aid at the rate of 97,000 per
mile.
All of the said roads are to have completed thirty
miles of road before receiving aid, and are then to
receive it by sections of ten miles.
The aid given will be in the shape of State bonds,
at six per cent, payable in New York, and to run
twenty years.
The President and a majority ofthe Directors of
eaoh Company are to be residents of this State,
and to hold their meetings within its limits.
Bills on their I aesa*k. —A Bill changing the
organiiation of the Inferior Courts of this State.
Lest.
A Bill appropriating 910,000 as an endowment of
the Atlanta Medicsl College, was so amended by
M'. Lawton, of Chatham, as to ask for a similar
appiopriaticn in favor of the Savannah Medical
College. Bill as amended, lost.
A Bill to compel non-residents of this State,
owning lands within it, to enter said lands and
pay tax thereon in the oounty where they lie.—
Passed.
Bill to enable suitors on notes, bonds, and other
confessions of debt, to obtain judgment thereon
at the first term, where no defence, under oath, is
made. Lost.
Bill to alter and amend Sections 18 an ! 19, Art.
1., of the Constitution, touching the use of unjust
means for the procurement of elections, and the
oath to be taken by membere of the General As
sembly. Passed.
The only other bill of general interest, on its
third reading to-day, was a somewhat singular
one, authorising any person who may first ferret
out and discover any false or fraudulent entries in
the issuing of land grants in this State, to get pos
session of land so entered by paying into the
Treasury the amount of the original grant fee.
The bill led to a spicy debate, in whioh Mr. Irvin,
of Wilkes, led off in opposition to it, and several
other gentlemen followed in support ot him. Mr.
I. characterised tho bill as one for the benefit of
persona who had already ferreted out—not who
would * mm/ter ferret ont—informalities in the
publio records, of wh ch unjust advantage might
be taken. Mr. Harris, of Fulton, opposed the bill
as giving a premium to ferreters and deteotors.
Mr. Jones, of Musoogee, suggested that in the
event of oollosion between the ferreter and the
record maker, the bill might make some alarming
changes in land titles. Mr. Johnson, of Cass,
proposed an amendment, taking from the bill its
application to lands already granted ; and Mr.
Carmon suggested to refer to a special committee.
The gentleman who first opposed it, however,
insisted on killing it outright, which was accord
ingly done, nemo eontradicente.
The House was not in session this afternoon,
having given up their Halt to an exhibition of the
progress mads by some of the Pupils of the Deaf
and Dumb Asylum, and the syatem of instruction
pursued there. Quite a number of the pupils
were in attendanee, and the exhibition one of the
most singular, entertaining and gratifying that I
ever witnessed. The State owes a great debt to
the Principal of tbe Asylum for the sacrifices he
has made, and the warm interest be has taken in
this youthful institution ; and I trust, should he
ask anything at the hands of the present Legists
tore, they will show a high appreciation of bis
services by giving him every needed facility for
the furtherance of the noble objeot he is pursuing.

Milled* rvnj.i, Nov. 26.
From the amount SLd importance of matter
already before the present General Assembly, you
have doubtless augured favorably of its ability and
industry. I notice, however, some reoent indica
tions of too great love for speech-making, whichi
unchecked, may force as to remember the old
adage—“a new broom sweeps elean.” There have
been several debates lately, which have seemed
quite uncalled for, and have had no infinence
whatever in deciding the question at issue. Gen
tlemen should remember that it is by no means
neeesaary to argue every question, small or great,
and should specially avoid tbe useless task of hit
ting a bill after it is dead. The humanity whioh
prompts them to see no subject buried until life
is fairly out of it, may be very oommendable; but
it is also very costly and very tiresome, (not to
mention the sacrilege of rriking the dead,) to
have gentlemen pouncing upon matters about
whioh there was not, from the first, tbe least doubt
of their fate. Bat I am, perhaps, wasting ink in
speaking of this evil. It is the doom, I suppose,
of all legislative and deliberative bodies, to have
business impeded by a few well-meaning but in
fatuate 1 gentlemen, victims tc the itch oratorioal—
passionately fond of being "put on record”—for
getful that resort to the Ayes and Nays will place
them “correctly before the people”—end possessed
with the idea that legislation has for its chief ob
ject the prometion of discussion and the encour
agement of oratory.

The Bill for the pardon of Jacob Mercer, which
was lost last week, was, on motion, reconsidered
this morning, by a vote of £T to >J. Messrs.
Buchanan and McMillan spoke in favor of the re
consideration —the former gentleman at some
length.
The Bill to incorporate the Bank of Athens was
reported back to-day by the Committee on Banks,
with sundry amendments. Judge Cone and Mr.
Peeples renewed their battle, the discussion to-day
being on amendments offered by Judge Cone;
pending which tbe Senate adjourned.
The following is a list of bills, Az~, introduced:
By Judge Cone: A Resolution to appoint a com
mittee of three, to aaoertain the precise weight of
a bushel of wheat, and other kinds of grain, of
Georgia growth, and to report what shall be the
standard weights for such grains.
By Mr. Strickland: To compel persons owning
lands out of the county where they reside, to give
In to the Tax Reeeivsr the cumbers of their lots,
thair districts, and the counties where they lie.
By Mr. Peeples: To require Sheriffs to enforce
ft. fas. in their hands, upon nonce given, under

By Mr. Paulk: To form a new county from Doo

By Mr. Gibson: To form a new oounty from
Monroe, Crawford and Upson, and call it Townes.
By Mr. Calhoun: To repeal an Asa regulating

Tho first business taken up titis morning, after
the aeua! preliminaries, was a motion to recon
sider the bill appropriating SIO,OOO each, to the
A'ianta an i Savannah Med.cal College?, whch had
been previously lost. Messrs. Harris, of P-1 on,
and Lawton, of Chatham, s-ppor'ed the motioo,
and it was carried.
Mr. Crook, of Chattooga, offered a resolution p: o
viding for a housec cmmittee to join the &enate
committee, for the purpose of ascertaining how
many under clerks were necessary for the two
Houses—what pay they should receive—and what
compensation should be made the Secretary of the
Benate and Clerk of the House. Keaolution
adopted.
Mr. Irvin, of Wilkes, offered a resolution au
thoring the Governor to make due provision for
the defence of the State in the case of Alabama
va. Georgia, in reference to the boundry line be
tween them. Agreed to, ana resolution sent to
the Senete.
The Finance Committee, through itheir Chair
man, Dr. Phillips, made their report on the state
of the finances, which was ordered to be printed.
A copy will be sent you. The report was com
piled with much care, and is very complimentary
to the State Treasurer an t Comptroller General.
The bill for the pardon o. John T. Boyd, was
then taken up on its third reading, at the close of
which, Mr. Jones, of Muscogee, reported a sub
stitute, commuting the sentence of death to ten
years imprisonment, at hard labor. Through
tne inadvertence of the speaker of the House, a
loog debate was here permitted on the substitute,
which, at the close of the debate, was decided
out of order. The speaker stated that he was not
aware the original bill had been engrossed when
the debate began, but that after it had arisen he
concluded to let it proceed. The point in the
discussion was, whether the Legislature had
the power, under tne Constitution, to commute.
Me.-sis. Jones aDd Thornton, of Muscogee, and
Crook, of Chattooga, took the affirmative—Messrs.
Lawton of Chatham, Ward of Butts, and Milledge
ot Bichmond, the negative. The original bill was
finally laid oa the table pro tempore, and Mr.
Jones’ substitute read a first time, preparatory to
future action upon it.
Mr.Crook’B speech deserves a passing notice.
The gentleman duplicated all that had been said
by Messrs. Jones and Thornton, repeated nearly
all their citations, and elaborated nearly all their
arguments; but with a feivor of gosture and
strength of vcod empha-ia, to which neither of
thegentlemen who ‘'b'eud” out the path, aspired.
It was a capital recapitulatory speech, and served
a good turn as a refresher of m mory. The de
bate invblved some nice constitutional points,
which, if I have time, will ba noticed hereafter.
Bums ok their Passage. —Bill to make final
disposition of the assets of the Central Bank, and
extinguish the offioe of its Cashier. Passed.
Bills incorporating “Hoimsville Masonic Lodge,
No. 195”—“Atlanta Gas Light Company”—“Co

Fire CompaLy, No. 4.” Passed.
Bill to prevent the fraudulent enforcement of
dormant judgments. Lost.
Bill to change the organisation of Inferior Courts
in this State, ao as to have but one Judge exorcis
ing the powers and duties now exercised by

Bill to divorce Margaret from Wiley l'rmtey,
with an amendment divorcing another couple.
Laid on the table.
This bill was defeated on the gronud that the
Legislature had no power to grant divoices.
Messrs. Thornton, of Muscogee, and Harris, of
Fulton, were the chief speakers egaiußt it. Mr.
CantiOH, of Kuban, argued in favor of its consti
tutionality.
Quite a number of important bills were referred
to their respective Committees.
Bills Reposted and Read the First Time.—

dutiei and liabilities of commissioners, agents
or employees of this Stale, in the erection or

Two weeks since, to vary tho scene, they had a

share the same fate. The poor woman was nailed
to the cross while living, a gash made across the
