The section was then adopted as ro- ^°8eo. 2. Paragraph 1 was rood. Mr. Col lier moved to Btrike all after “Associate inatioea.” This section, authorising the General Assembly to appoint two additional Jus tices to the Supreme Benoh was the spring of a very interesting debate, in whioh the strength of tbo beat legal anility was exerted. Mr. Mathews made a most excellent end logical speeoh, advocating the addition to Supreme Court in the strongest and moat emphatic terms. Mr. Gartreii replied on tbe part of the opposition. As usual, this gentleman spoke eloquently and in favor of retrench ment. Mr. Bender followed in a speeoh in wbioh he mixed figures in the most reck- 1ms manner. Mr. Featherstone then took the floor, ahd also opposed the proposed addition of justices. Mr. Guerrard, of the First, then spoke in favor of the proposed inorease of the number of justices. Mr. Bass opposed the measure, Mr. Toombs then rose, and in a dear and oonoise speech supported the report of the committee: “That tbe amount of work was too muoh for three. Thus we get more ability, more thoroughness of examination, and more oertainty of ad ministration of justice."

That from tbe amount of business before the Court tbe reports are delayed for a long time before they oan be sent to the lawyers and through them to the peo ple. It would be better to have the mat. ter as it is in the report, for there it is in the decision of the General Assembly. Let them decide the necessity for tbe in creases, but let them have the power to make the deoision. Mr. Lawton, of the First, also support ed the report of the committee in a speeoh of about ten minutes length. The re marks of this gentleman were strong and sensible. Mr. Flewellen moved to insert a pro vision, fixing the manner of appointment by the General Assembly to be by a two- thirds vote of its members. The previons question was called, but was withdrawn. Mr. Wright, of the Forty-second, also spoke on this section, with his aeoustomed power and dignity. Mr. Pope Barrow then spoke, favoring the report of the eommittee. The previous question was then called, and was put on the amendment offered by Mr. Collier, of the Thirty-fifth, with the amendment of Mr. Baas, wbioh had been aeoepted by Mr. Collier. The question ss put, was to fix the number of tbe Supreme Court Judges to their present standard, without any power to add thereto, being repoeed in the Gen eral Assembly. The yeas and nays were called. The oall was sustained and the Sooretary proceeded to read the roll, the members calling their vote as their name was aonnded. The vote stood as follows: Teas, 129; nays, 68. The amendment was adopted. Mr. Mynatt moved to strike out all after “Associate Justices.” Tabled. The paragraph was then adopted as amended.

Motion lost. Mr. Dismuke offered an amendment whioh was accepted by Mr. Wright: “Nor in any railroad osse where the Judge owns any stook.” Diamuke’s amendment Mr. Hammond, of the Thirty-fifth, of fered a substitute to Mr. Wright’s amend- lb follows: Jsreat in the osse at bar, or in tbe fine raised therein, shall disqualify > interested Judge from presiding in h eases.” Mr. Guerrard wished the amendment couched in the terms of tbe “Magna Charts," to-wit; “No man shall be Judge in his own ease.” Mr. Hammod refused to rooeive the : suggeaeioa. , Mr. Mathews then spoke against the odmenl of Mr. HuduodcI, ud st tbo noluaion of his remarks, Mr. Hammond, th the permission of the body, with- j drew his amendment. The question was then put on Mr. Fright's amendment in the form of an ad- lit ioaal paragraph. The yeas and nays were called, and the result was yeas 110, nays 66.

She, with com panions, was crossing a bridge, when she fell in. The whites blame a negro man for refusing to risk his own life, when they would not themselves. Two worthy citizens of Monroe ooun- ty (each) lost a dun colored cow. A con test was made for tbe ownership before the Justice Court, and an appeal has been taken to tbe Superior Court.

It does not require a very great amount of intelligence to be able to see that information of that na ture is not very well calculated to help Georgia in the eyes of the mercantile or immigrating world. The best whioh oan be done by the Agricultural Bureau under tbe ciroumstanoes, is to oall in the books whioh have already been sent out, end prohibit tbe further distribution of any more of the present edition.

The oommittee had then expressed themselves satisfied! snd announced their willingness to await tbe return of Colonel Wadley, when a re quest for a guarantee from him that there be no rednotion within the year would be made. This petition, we understand, will be presented this morning, —A bill was filed in the offloe of the Clerk of the Superior Court of Monroe oonnty, last week, which is of anffloient importance to attraot attention. It is “a bill for aooount and setting aside de cree,” brought by J. C. Zorn, jr., trustee for Mrs. A. M. Zorn, and as next friend of Mrs. M. E. Dewberry, vs. Henry. J. Lamar, exeoutor of the estate of John Thurmond, deoeased, and Thos. Dewber ry, trustee, etc. The faots are about these : Mr. John Thurmond, one of the wealthiest oitizens of Monroe county, died in 1802, and left an estate valued at $800,000. Reposing trust and oonfidenoe in Mr. Henry J. Lamar, his nephew, he designated him as the exeoutor of his estate and guardian for bis children, and naturally supposing that the management of the property and the care of the chil dren would claim a great deal of Jiis time, he provided that an an opal salary of one thousand dollars should be paid him from the inoome of the estate. The legatees of the will were the wife of Mr. Thurmond snd his two daughters, at that time quite young. The bulk of the property was willed to the ohildreo, with Mr. Lamar as manager, as above stated. The war came on and tbe negro property was lost, and the other property depreciated. Still quite a handsome property was left, const daring the times and general condition of oar people, owing doubtless to the manage ment of Mr. L. The oldest daughter was married to Mr.Theodore Nottingham, of Macon, in 1871. He died in about two years. A few years afterward theyounger daughter was married to Mr. Thos. D. Dewberry, of Monroe county, and he,upon instituting the proper proceedings in Court, was put into possession of tbe prop erty as trustee for bis wife and Mrs. Not tingham, relieving Mr. Lamar, who gladly gave up the property. In 1876, Mrs. Nottingham was married to Mr. J. 0. Zorn, of tbe oonnty of Upson. Mr. Zorp and has never amounted for the proceeds, also that there is something wrong in the return of the dividends of the Maoon factory stock; that twenty-flvw bales of sheeting, on hand at one time, is not re turned in the final settlement, and vari ous othsr items all making nearly $75,000, and for this amount or so much thereof as may be found oorreot, he prays judgment Mr. Lamar, for his part, olalma that his settlement was honest and complete, and that all this will appear upon the trial. He turned over to the trustee, who suc ceeded him, about thirty thousand dollars of Georgia bonds, mostly 7’s, twenty thousand dollars Maoon Factory stook, two plantations, three thousand dollars, and other property, amounting to about $70,000. The case will be tried at the next Feb ruary term. The plaintiff will be reprssented by Speer A Stewart, of Griffin, A. D. Ham mond of Forsyth, and Jno. P. Fort, of Macon. Mr. T. D. Dewberry will be represented by Mr. T. B. Oabaniaa. Mr. Lamar has employed Messrs. Baoon Rutherford, of Maoon. MABCHAL &, SMITH PIANOS. RAILROAD*.
