THE CAPITOL.
The.Senate spent most of the da; yes
terday in tbe consideration of a liiU that
provides a means of recovering the prop
erty of which the State or the Western
and Atlantic Railroad baa been defraud
ed. The bill provides that any money
property stolen from the State, or the
State Road, or of which either may have
been' defraoded, may be recovered wher
ever identified; and provides also the
process by which such property or mon
ey may be recovered.
The, bUt i* a must complete one, and
seemingly closes all avenues of escape fo
those who may have such money, Or such
property, in their possession. It hunts
them down* and without complicated
proceedings, follows them from oounty
to oopn^y, and reclaims stolen prop
erty wherever found, and no matter ~~
whose hands it may be found.
Aetion may be begun by Solicitors
General, upon information given by any
citizen, upon oath. An attachment may
issue upon the oath of the informer, that
to tbe best of bis knowledge and belief,
the defendant has defrauded tbe State of
money or property, as the case may be;
and such attachment may be levied upon
any and all property of the defendant.
Tbe passage of the bill is to be con
sidered a notice to all the world that the
State lays claim to such money, or prop
erty, held or owned by any person who
has held any office or any position, under
the State or the State Road since July,
1866. All suits under the act to be be
gun within one year after its passage.—
The property recovered under the act is
to be Bold, and the net proceeds are to
be paid into the State Treasury.
The biU provides against wrongful, or
malicious prosecutions, by requiring the
informer, when able to do so, to give
bond, in order that the defendant may be
f>rQtscted from costs and other expenses
—exoept counsel lees—in case he maybe
proven clear of the charges upon which
aetion is brought
The princifljUcontroversy in the Sen
ate, was upoj'si 'motion to strike out the
ninth section of the bill which re
quired tbe informer [o give bond for the
protection of ionocmit-jlefendauts. Sen
stars Reese, KunnaOyriftul Brown vigor
ously opposed striking it out, and suc
ceeded in their opposition. They
gued veryf properly that, ’’without the
safeguards therein contained, a great
many innecant people might be made
victims of a system of black-mailing, by
unscrupulous persons. Their points were
well taken and ably sustained, and it was
'highly creditable to the Senate that they
were heeded.
The Senate passed the bill, and the
House, no doubt, wi 1 concur at once.
Those who have property or money, out
of which the State or the State Road has
been defrauded, may then begin to ex
pect to be brought to justice.

DAILY AND WEEKLY,
the Grand Jury yesterday morniDg, and
without finding any bill, they honorably
acquitted Mr. L. The circumstances
were of a very aggravated nature, and
only ail abbolute necessity, as a matter of
self-defense, caused Mr. L to commit
the deed. Mr. Birdsong entered the
house where Mr. L. was sitting, and tak
ing down a gun that was in the room,
commenced beating him over his head.
Having knocked him down, he took from
Mr. L. a pistol and fired at him. Mr. L.
recovering from the blows, drew another
pistol and commenced firing at Birdsong,
thcsecond shot taking effect, which proved
fatal in a few minutes.
