Burns opposed the bill as an nn-
neoessary innovation on a time-honored
tem. It is impracticable and wonld
sand an entire change of the revenue
system. It multiplies. offices. The tax
lawa ore already complete; and he thought
the oath of tbe owner ought to he cou-
elqsive ns to the value of property, he
being the best judge thereof.
Mr. Hinton favored the bill. The
present system pale e premium on dis
honesty. He ssid two-thirds of the
property-owners give in their lands Lt-
low their real value. It is no greeter
hardship to refuse the tax payer the
privilege of valuing hit own property,
then to excuse a judge from presiding
in a cose involving his own interest. The
bill was passed by: Ayes 19; nays 18.
On motion of Mr. Brown, the bill pro
viding for the pay of officers, wot taken
np on its passage.
This bill provides that the pay of offi
eers shall be ten dollars per day, and of

dollars for every twenty miles traveled in

The Judiciary Committee reported ifi
favor of its passage.
Mr, Nannoliy ofiered a substitute, fix
ing tbe per diem of officers hereafter at
•10 for President end Bpeeker, and 8!)
for Secretary and principal assistant, and
•7 for all other offioera and members, in
tended to take effect after this session.
He considered the original bill retroactive
and unconstitutional in divesting vested

The motion to reconsider tbe loss of a

over under the rule an Saturday, was
taken up us unfinished baalnem.
Mr. W, D, Anderson medo tbe point
o( order that tbe failure to sustain the
main question was equivalent to laying
the bill on the table, and that it would
take a majority vote to bring the bill be
fore the House. This point was ruled
well taken.
Mr. McMillan moved to take ap the
bill, and said that e substitute had been
prepared whiob he would support. Mr.
McMillan’s motiou prevailed.
Mr. W. D. Anderson moved to ley the
; mobon to reoonasder on the table. This

On motion of Mr. Bussell tbe bill was
acted on by Motions.
The only important change in the old
lew ecaqiate in abolishing district trus
tees and providing for Oounty Board of
Education to be eleoted by the grand
eisn. Griffin of Houston, Hillyer end
Putney opposed this change—arguing
that the selection of the trustees or board
should be left to the peepls,
Mr. Russell said that the old law often
resulted in the selection of ignorant men,
pud ss the grand jury ia most generally
oompoaed of the moot intelligent men in
the oounty eeleetkma thus made wonld
be good.
The bill as amended was pused.
The bill to aeonre to the Educational
Department the fund set apart for educa
tional par poses:
Mr, Jackson moved to fill the bleak
with 81,213,000, and atatsd that this
amount of bonds wonld be better than
to appropriate -*700,000—the amount
which the State owea the Educational
Fund.
Mr. Simmons of Gwinnett, said that
he was opposed to the issue of the bonds,
or to the appropriation, because it wonld
be impracboable aud impossible, in the
preaeut impoverished condition of onr
State. He is in favor of edaoadng the
people, but did not think that the aet
of 1870, would do numb, if anything in
that direction, bnt would, in most case*,
be a perfect waste of money.
Mr. Griffin of Houston, favored an is
sue of bonde or on appropriation, urging
that it la due to the orphans of Confede
rate soldiers, es well m all the children
in the Sjato, that means for their educa
tion should be raised.
Mr. Beoon wanted to give the system e
fair trial, and was in favor of inserting
some amount approximating the sum
recommended by the committee through
Mr. Jaoksou.
that it pegged, and honest people have
acted under it and good faith ought to
be kept with them. He is ia favor of
making some provision for giving to the
Educational Department mob sums as
have been specially aet apart for it by
the Constitution.
Mr. W.D.Anderaon was opposed toim
poking such an addition btrnlen upon the
already overburdened people of this
State. He was willing to see tbe money
which the Constitution sets apart devoted
to sobool porposen. Ho urged his views
earnestly and eloquently.
Mr. McMillan said that the last Gene
ral Assembly appropriated a part of tbe
Eduoational fond to other pnrpoecs.
purposes, and
as tbe law has been administered, the
children do not reap the benefit of the
money set apart for school purposes. He
diaenmod the circuities connected with
the money Toy this purpose. He was in
favor of educating children, but hb was
not.in favor of so doing through the
present channels.
Mr. Jackson said that the only addi
tional isane of bonds required, wilt be
about 8896,282. Governor Bullock has
wrtially placed book 8288,000 worth of
loads, instead of those which had been
used lor other purposes. He ssid that
the State ia only asked to pay the inter
est on her indebtedness to the education
al land.
Mr. Patillo called the previous ques
tion. The call woe sustained.
A motion by Mr. Biley to indefinitely
postpone tbe whole matter; lost.
Mr. Jackson’s motion to issue $1,218,-
000, was loot.
Mr. Jaekooe moved to insert $482,288
—the amount owed to the Educational
Fund by the State rinee 1868, when tbe
now Constitution was adopted.
Mr. Cumming said that the idee that
this amo&at is a debt of tbe State is er
roneous, for the State cannot owe her-
self, but a fund which should havo been
used for the purpose for which it was set
apart. He was opposed to inserting any
amount in the blank.
Mr. Dell moved to lay the whole mat
ter on tbe teble; loet
Mr. Pou favored Mr. Jackson’a lest
motion, and said that the Constitution
requires that money raised from oertain
sources | should be devoted to ed
ucational purposes, and that requirement
ahonld be carried onk Even if the
money has been stolen it ought to be
made good, and teachen who have la
bored in the eanse should be paid.
Mr. Jackson’s motion to insert $4:12,
288 was lest.
Mr. Soott moved to lay the kill on the
teble, for the purpoee of an amendment.
The motion prevailed.
Mr. Kelly moved to adopt a resolution
requesting the Governor to pardon John
Bannon, a convict in the penitentiary.
He urged his motion in a short, but pa
thetic address.
Mr. MoMillan, as oheixnen of tbe
committee to wbiob a memorial asking
for the adoption of such a resolution
was referred, stated the eircamstauccs

THE MESSAGE.
The President states that the relations
of the United States with foreign powers
continue friendly. He refers to tne set
tlement of the Alabama dispntc by
the Treaty of Washingtou, and
says the example thus set may be
followed by other civilized
tions, and finally be the meaus
of returning to productive industry,
millions of men who are now retained to
settle national disputes by the bayonet
and broadside.
Ho commends tho Minister and Con
sul at France for their course in protect
ing the interests of German subjects in
Palis, during the war. He informs Con
gress that in conformity with the estab
lished precedent, has recognized tbe
change of Government in Romo and tho
Italian States. He says something of
the continued friendly relations between
Russia and the United Stutos, referring
to the visit of tho Grund Duke Alexis,
und to the hospitable reception given
him. In relation to the Cntacuzy question,
the President says the inexcusable court*-
of the Russian Minister hud rendered it
n< k ccssary for tho President to ask tho
Minister's recall, aud to decline to re
ceive that functionary any longer. He
soys It was impossible for him,
with self-respect, or a just
regard to the dignity of the nation, to
l>ermit Mr. Catacazy to coutiuu* to hold
utercourse with this Government, after
his penouAl abuse of Government offi
cials and after his improper inter
ference, by rarioas means, iu the rela
tions between this country and other
powers. The Government had, therefore,
oeen released from further intercourse
with Mr. Cataoazy and another minister
was commissioned who was entirely un
objectionable.
He recommends the education of four
