The legislature has passed a reso*

remove from the capitol the sign
“Kimball Opera House."
The present Legislature is doing
noble work for the State. It is cont
inue J of inen of the very best talent—
a conscientious and faithful attention
to duly, and a disposition to work
unceasingly.

A writer in the Atlanta Dispatch

H. Jones, of the Telegraph k Messen
ger. had an altercation, which grew
out of the cowhiding last summer, of
which Col. Jones was the victim.—
Walking canes were freely used, but
no serious damage done.
As will be seen from our condensed
report of the legislative proceedings,
the Legislature has accepted from At
lanta the gift of the city hall lot and
some adjacent lots, in lieu of Allan'
ta's proposition to give the city hail
lot and build a new capitol as good
a* the one in Milledgcville.
The Publishers, Messrs. T. B. Pe
terson Jt Bro., of Philadelphia, have
our thanks for a copy of their newly
published edition of “Major Jones’
Courtship." which was mentioned in
our last. The book is beautifully
gotten up, and sold at 75 cents per
volume. . We gladly welcome this
new edition of the best work of
American humor that has ever been
written.
The Washington correspondent of
the Savannah Xcws says that the
District Attorney of Utah Territory
has been directed to prosecute all
bigamists in the Territory. This in
eludes, of course, the polygamists,
and as the constitutionality of the an
il-polygamy act has been affirmed by
the United States Supreme Court,
these prosecutions will, it is hoped,
tend to break op the infamous prac
tice that is so repugnant to all reli
gion and morality.
One of the most important works
that can engage the State is the en
larging of the Lunatic Asylum. There
U an urgent need for more and better
accommodations, and if something is
not done at the present session of the
Legislature, great inconvenience and
distress will be likely to prevail
among the nnfortnnate class who look
to the State for sustenance and pro
tection, before the next assembly
meets. The present body thonld not
fall to haveihis work well and quick
iy done.
The impeachment of Comptroller
Goldsmith will be commenced in
few days. Chief Justice Hiram War
ner, of the Supreme Court, will pre
side* Messrs. H. ti. Turner,
Brocks; C. D. Phillips, of Cobb
Wb. M. Hammond, of Thomas;
M. Davit, of Honstqg; J. H. Polhili,
of Jefferson; W. J. Pike, of Jackson,
and A. P. Adams, of Chatham, are
the managers chosen by the Honse.
The defendant’s coonsel are Messrs.
IlopUns Jt Glenn, Jackson k Lump
kin, and Candler k Thompson. Sen
ator Hill is not engaged at was re
ported.
The Macon and Brunswick railroad
bill which has passed the Senate, and
will in all probability pass the Honse,
provides that the Governor shall lease
the road at public outcry in the city
of Macon, at not less than <00,000 an
nually. No railroad nor express
company in the State, or “company
of non-resident adventurers or spec
nlators” can become the lessees. The
leasees are required in two years af
ter they get the road, to expend $200,-
000 in erection of shops, purchase
machinery, etc., and within three
years to complete the road to Atlanta
nr some other poiut on the Georgia
railroad, and when said extension
completed, the lessee* shall have the
privilege of buying the road for $1,
120,000. If the road I* not leased the
Governor is to appoint Are commis
sioners to take charge of it and run
it In the interest of the State.
More Investigations.
On Friday the House adopted a res
olution requiring the Speaker to ap
point four committees, of nine mem
hers each, to investigate the Treasury
and Agricultural Departments, the
office of the principal keeper of the
1'euitentiary, and State School Com
iniwioner. This we think is a good
resolution. Since investigation is the
order of the day, let it continue. Let
ecery department of the government
he thoroughly looked into and over
hauled. We do not think that there
is any crookedness in any of the dc
part menu above mentioned, but there
may be, and an investigation will do
no harm, and may nneartb hidden
and unsuspected iniquities. It is
good work. Let It go on.
We have not seen a copy of Ihe bill
wcointueuded by the Committee on
Railroads, but from the resume given
and Ihe comments made by the Tel
egraph and Messenger, “a copy of the
bill having l>een sent them by our
worthy representative, lion. A. C.
Westbrook," we unhesllnlingly pro
nounce the bill altogether impracti
cable. We are also inclined to the
opinion that Mr. Halt, or some other
shrewd member of the Committee,
framed the bill in such language as
to make the bill inoperative in case
it should pass, and did it knowingly,
with the purpose of defeating all leg
islation touching railroad matters.
If the Legislature ran dictate to
railroads how to run their trains,
build edition-houses, turn-outs, and
take control of the workshops, etc.,
they ran with equal propriety make
committee to take control of every
other chartered company for the man
ufacture of any article in the limits
of the SUte.
The bill regulates freights on lines
of other States making connection
with roads of this State. Congress
controls this matter, and we have not
that the State of Georgia is
exception to the laws made and pro
vided for the regulation of traffic be
tween the States.
One more of its impracticable pro
visions, and we await further action
of onr law makers:
It provides against discriminations.
Freight and passage shall be accord
ing to distance. In case this section
should become a law, it will bo well
for our farmers to begin to raise their
bacon, corn and all other supplies
that now are brought from the West.
It will alio act as a discrimination
against all competing points, Albany
amoug the others. Say Albany
builds a road with her own money to
enable her to have low rates of
freight on cotton, thereby putting
Into the pockets of every farmer from
two to tire dollars for every bale of
cotton they grow. This bill provides
that these commissioners see to it
that uniform rates be charged on this
as well as all other roads.
Article 4, section 2, paragraph 1 of
the constitution of 1877 reads as fol
lows : “The power and authority of
regulating railroad freights and pas'
senger tariffs, preventing unjust dis
criminations, and requiring reason
able and just rates of freights and
passenger tariffs, are hereby conferred
upon the General Assembly, whose
duty it shall be to pass laws, from
timo to time, to regulate freight and
passenger tariffs, to prohibit unjust
discriminations on the various rail
roads of this State, and to prohibit
said roads from charging other than
just and reasonable rates, and to en
force the same by adequate penalties."
This, we presume, is the authority
under which the Legislature acts;
bnt outside of regulating freight and
passenger tariff), we know not where
they get the authority to interfere
with the workings of railroads more
than they have to dictate how corn
and cotton shall be cultivated, or the
size of the stripes to be in the ging
hams made by the Eagle and Phoenix
Manufacturing Company.
The bill, in onr opinion, should
not pass, and we have no idea that it
will.

Latest Yellow Fever News.
The yellow fever in Memphis con
tinues unabated. It has been dcclar
ed epidemic by the Board of Health
and is gradually spreading. There
is no hope of the stay of the plague
until frost comes, or until the mate
rial gives ont. The condition is de
plorable, bnt not nearly so bad as
last year. We give below the latest
dispatches from the fever-stricken
city:
Twenty-five special policemen de
tailed to take the city census report
the population of Memphis at 16,110;
whites, 4,283; negroer, 11,827; adults,
10,651; children, 3,459. Of these, 8.-
743 bars bad the fever, leaving 7,367
susceptible to disease.
A detail of twenty-five men from a
colored military company has been
made to do police duty in Memphis
during the day, aa the entire strength
of the regular police force has been
assigned to night service.
There were'34 cases on Tuesday.
One imported case in St Louis and
one in Louisville, one at Whitehaven,
eight miles south of Memphis. Below
we give the latest dispatch:
Minerals, August 12.—Twenty-two
rases in all were reported to-day, ten
of whom were colored. Among the
whites were James Shoals, George
Weiss and George Getty. Two ad
ditional deaths have occured—Annie
Miller and John Swanander.
Three tents will be sent to White

which will be removed tho people
who are living in the honse where
Mrs. Boston lies sick with the fever.
S. II. Gibson, book-keeper of the
Appeal, was stricken down with the

Tit* University Land Scrip Fund
The Trustees of the University at
their last meeting, made a division of
tha Land Scrip Fund, giving $2000
each to Milledgeville, Thomasvillo
and Cntbbert, for the purposes of es
tablishing branch Colleges at those
points. The Trustees also changed
tho time of holding the Commence'
ment from the first Wednesday in
August to the third Wednesday in
July.
Mr. Lovett, who recently shot and
killed Mr. Reynolds in Meriwether
county, is in Atlanta now, attending

Tho Committee on Enrollment, and
We recently had llic pleasure of
conversing with Ihe Rev. Floyd Snel-
son, formerly of Liberty county, Ga.,
ami who has just returned from a
year’s sojourn in Africa. Pokiug at
him our editorial card, we desired an
interview, which lie politely gave ns.
We found him to he quite intelligent,
and a thoughtful, earnest mlin. We
commend his views to our readers:
News—To what point in Africa
did you go?
Mr. Snf.lson—To Freetown. Sicr-
raleonr. West Africa. This is
English colony, and I went out as
missionary from the American Be
nevolent Society. It is about one
hundred and fifty miles north of Li
beria.
News—Did you visit Liberia? •
Mr. S.—Oh, vcs. I travelled ex
tensively through the northern part
of Ihe country.
News—(Jive us some facts about
the country ?
Mr. S.—Weil, it somewhat resem
bles Southwest Georgia in its physi
cal aspects. Tho lands are very fer
tile, and thickly populated. Thcprin-
ipal products are corn, sugar cane,
coffee, which bring good prices. Cot
ton is also raised, but not profitably.
The Government is Republican, and
is carried on solely bv black people.
Except missionaries, none but color
ed people are permitted to settle in
the Republic. The government gives
twenty-five acres of land to every em
igrant, which he can work or dispose
of as he pleases. The schools arc few
and inefficient.
News—What do you think of the
immigration front the South ?
Mr. S.—I think it was a had move
ment, and that the colored peoplo
who went into it were misled. I
would strongly oppose it for several
reasons. First, the climate is very i tbe Committee ou the Lunatic Asv-
cur in the House substitute for tho

section 7, article 8 of the constitution,
Mr. Yancey moved that tho House
insist on its substitute, aud ask for a
committee of conference of two from
the Senate and three from the House,
which prevailed. Messrs, lines?,
Mynntt and Kinsey were appointed
on the part of tho House.
RESOLUTIONS.
Mr. Strother offered a resolution
directing the committee ou peniten-
tiarr to inquire if there is any stat
ute adequately providiug for the in
dictment and punishment of parties
guilty of cruel and inhuman treat
ment of convicts, and if they find no
such statute to report a bill making
the cruel and inhuman treatment of
convicts indictable aud punishable
as a crime. Agreed to.
Mr. Hulsey asked to be excused
from serving on the special commit
tee to investigate the office of princi
pal keeper of tho penitentiary, which
was granted. Mr. Anderson, cf New
ton, was appointed In his place.

Mr. Clements, of the 44th. argued
severe, ami unfavorable to new com
ers. It is extremely unhealthy, and
all kinds ofdiscases abound. It takes
a foreigner a long time to get accli
mated, and a very large number die
from the had effects of the climate.—
Physicians, too, arc scarce, and their
charges are very high, five dollars
being the price for a single visit.—
Only a rich man ran afford the luxu
ry of getting acclimated; the poor
generally .suffer severely, and very
ofleii\lie.
Again. Labor is superabundant,
and is very cheap; sixteen to twenty-
five cents a day, and four or five dol
lars per month, are about the wages
paid for labor. The expenses of liv
ing.’on the other hand, are very
great. Bacon aides sell all the year
round for twenty-five cents per
pound; hams thirty-six to fifty cents;
dour $12 to $15 per barrel; boards $5
per hundred. It takes large capital
to succeed in Liberia.
News—Did you meet any of the
darkies who had emigrated from the
Sonth ?
Mr. S.—Yes. Some of them who
had capital are doing well. The ma
jority arc dissatisfied and would glad'
lv return to their former homes.—
Some of them hnvc returned. Some
have walked from Liberia to Sierra]
cour, a distance of nearly two hun
dred miles, in order to escape from
the ills of their condition. In short,
sir, Liberia offers no advantages to
the poor man. The capitalist can find
many remunerative channels into
which to turn his money, bnt the la
borer will find it an exceedingly hard
thing to make a living there, and 1
would advise any poor man to stay
away.
Thanking him for his courtesy, we
bade him adieu.
Quinine has gone up. The Savan
nah News says the fever-stricken pa
tient finds his pills dearer than ever.
The two or three American manufac
turers shout: “We told you so!"—
Of course they did. They knew very
well what day they would raise the
prico, and how far they would raise
it. They know just as well that their
time is short; they have the market
in their own hands as yet, and are
willing to make this extortionate pro
fit out of the immediate needs of the
public. None of the manufactured
article, whicli is to como in free of
duty, has ns yet been imported.—
When it comes in the price will fall
to its proper level, and nothing they
can do will keep it up. There is no
real reason for the present rise, the
manufacturers having stock in hand
sufficient for many months, except
their desire to reap as large a harvest
from their nearly ended monopoly
as possible.
The Springfield Republican utters
the belief that if the Republican par
ty were again to come in power, it
would not interfere with local self-
government in the South. Such an
opinion is error. Republican power
incans corruption and fraud, so far as
it is exercised at the South, and so
convinced is the South of the great
evils resulting from the rule of that
party, that it is now, nnd will ever
be, solid against auv policy that will
give aid, or 'encouragement, or sue
cess to it.
The New York Times is very bitter

less he hoists the bloody shirt on t

toward the South, expressed in the

THE NEW CAPITOL.

of the location of tbe new capitol was,
on motion of Mr. Lumpkin, taken up
and read.

The resolution was unanimously
concurred in.

perintendent of the lunatic asylum

more dangerous lunatics arc not pro
vided for.

was read.
that the substitute offered by himself
met Hie ends designed by the conven
tion. The friends of the substitute
offered by the committee have made
labored efforts to show the superiori
ty of their measure. That substitute
goes too far and encroaches oil the
sacred right of petition. The sub
stitute proceeds on the supposition
that the legislature is venal aud cor
rupt. There is no reason for making
a high crime out of an act, whicli per
sc has in it no taint of corruption.
On the passage of the substitute of
fered by Mr. Clement the yeas and
nays were called. The yeas were 19
