Jsfiklns, in the Oheir. “XOOKOHT, UTUXOHHKKT AMD KSFOBM.” Alter the tending of the jontne! of yes terday'* proceedings, Mr. MoDoneld, of the Fifth District, moved to reconsider the notion of the Oooveelioo yeeterdey in fix ing the eoet of elertosl eeeietnnoe in the Exeontive Department nt eight tboneend dollere per ennnm. A motion wee made to lay the motion to reoonaidor on the table, bdt it naa voted down, and the- motion to reooneld- er waa carried. Mr.. Grans, of the Thirty-fifth, Dietriot, n member of the Examining Committee, mid that Governor Colquitt had elated to the committee that bo mg running hie department with the teaat expenee posit- ble oompateble with it* effloienoy. Mr. Haloombe, of the Twenty-ninth Dietriot, aaid that some gentlemen in the Oonvention persisted in defending large aalarioe with the morbid affection of a mother for a deformed ohild. He thought that when the country Wee raatored to the good old deya of prosperity, it would be plenty of time to advocate liberal eateries. Every one knew that there were many useless bangers on in the'Exeontive De partment. The speaker reed an extraot from Governor Oolqnitt’e inangnral ad- drear, favoring e rigid system of economy end retrenchment, and said the Conran tion should carry out them Ideas. When ever a prudent men disoovers that ba is living beyond hie income, he will at ones lop off all onneoamary expense*. This was the very thing that the people of Georgia wished the Oonvention to do. Mr. MoDoneld, of the Fifth Dietriot, moved that the enm to be appropriated by the General Amembiy for oUrieal expen. see of the Exeontive Department be fixed at six thousand dollere, instead of eight tboneend dollere per ennnm. Adopted by a vote of ninety to fifty-three. XXEMPTXKO sunns SOLDIBBS raou TAX, TIOM. Mr. Wofford, of the Forty-ssoond Die triot, moved to reoonaidor the aotion of the Oonvention yeeterdey defeating hie olanse exempting from taxation the prop erty of maimed Confederate soldiers, in order that he might reintrodnoe it, with some amendments. The motion to reooniider prevailed and Mr. Wofford offered the following: “The property of wonnded and diet' bled Confederate soldiers, and of the widows or minor orphans of deceased Confederate soldiers to the extent of five hundred dollere shall be exempt from ell taxation.’’ Mr. Brown, of the Thirty-ninth Die triot, moved to amend this by ex empting from taxation the property of ell blind, persons. Mr. Simmons, of the Twenty-eeoond Dietriot, eeid it would seem that the Con vention wee now about to do a very hand aome(f) thing. The exemption proposed would amount to the prinoely enm of about two dollars and a half par annum. 'For God’s sake let ne give disabled sol diers and the widowe and orphans of de> oeeaed soldiers a pension or render them some other handsome acknowledgement while we ere abont it. Mr. Fierce, of the Twentieth Dietriot, moved to exempt from taxation ell the property of the classes named. If we ex empt any of their property we bad-better exempt it ell. Mr. Pieroe’e amendment was tabled. Mr. Wofford's amendment wee defeated by a vote of S8 yeas to 76 naya. taxation or MBBAaras. Mr. DoBobo, of the Twentieth Dietriot, moved to reoonsider the aotion of the Oonvention yesterday in tabling 'the amendment to line eight of paragraph two, striking out the words “of any oom pany or aaaooiation kept in a public hall.’ This would exempt all books, paintings and statu ary‘from taxation. Mr. Warren, of the First Dietriot, op posed the motion to reoonsider. He said that if the Convention onoe begins to exempt property from taxation it would not know where to atop. The Oonvention had not exempted the tools of mechanics from taxation and be thought professional and literary men ehonJd do their duty -jd pay taxea on > sustain the Govern- their libraries to help ment. The motion to reoonsider wee laid on the table. Mr. Collier, of the Thirty-fifth Die triot, moved to amend the paragraph ao M to exempt from taxation the libraries of lawyers, phyaiolana and dentista. Lost. The aeoond section wee then agreed to and the two following aaotiona . were agreed to without amendment: BaonoR III.—Par. 1. Ho debt ahall be oontraoted by, or on behalf of, the State, except to supply casual deficiencies of revenae, to repel invasion, suppress insur rection, and defend the State in time of war, or to pay the existing pablio debt; bat tbe debt oreeted to sapply deficien cies in revenue shell not exoeed, in tbe aggregate, two hnndred tboneend do! lars. Section IV—Per. 1. All lews entboriz. ing the borrowing of money, by, or on behalf of, tbe State, shall specify the pur. poses for which the money is to be need and tbe money so obtained shall be nsec I fer the purposes epeoified, and for no wthar. STATS AID DRSnAMD. Section five wee read, as follows i Fab. I. The credit of the State shell not ba pledged or loaned to any individual company, corporations, or associations, and the State shell not beoome a joint owner or stockholder in any company, aaaooiation or corporation. Mr. Brown, of the Thirty-ninth Dis trict, offered the following to be added to the aeotion: But nothing in tbie Constitution abtll be oonatrned to prevent the State from using the proceeds of the penitentiary or the oonviet labor for the purpose of de veloping tbe resources thereof by leasing the same to any railroad, turnpike oenal oompany, provided the money loaned be amply secured, tbe seonrity to ba approved by tbe General Assembly. Mr. Brown supported tbe amendment in a lengthy end forcible speech. He spoke of the development of sections of Georgia that bad navsr reoisi vsd any aagja- tanoa from the Stats, evidently alluding to-the section to be traversed by the Marietta and North Georgia Bailroad. Mr. Footsies, of tbe Twenty-fonrth Dietriot, eaid he earns from a aeotion of Georgia which had never reaped any benefits from State aid, yet hie people did not wish to grow rich at the expaaae of tbe other portions ef the State. The principle of Stale aid bad .Marfa fan feet end.it wee now time to eat U down. Ha wee opposed to either the credit of the Stafe or any other thing of value being loaned to any oompany or corporation. Mr. Toombs, of tbe Twentynsiath Die triot, eeid he had supposed and had hoped that this question of State aid bad baaa forever buried. One of the main objeots which be hod in view in ooaiug to the Oonvention and in urging the people to call e Convention wee to prevent thia loss the State and fraud upon the people, the gentlemen (Ur. Brown) wished to cite the example of Pennsylvania os an argument in favor of State aid let him reed the Constitution of that Stela adopt ed in 1878. After being plundered by it tor half a century Pennsylvania bad dis lodged the principle of State aid from her Constitution. She had abolished this bad prinoiple and condemnad all Stole aid. The present Constitution of Georgia waa equally defective with the old Constitution of Pennsylvania. He never heahi of a road bnilt by State aid whioh had declared a dividend. They rained themselves and destroyed tbe pnblio oradit. They never had complied with the organic law and they never will. There never wee a single dollar taken from tbe Treasury in this way whioh wee not taken by fraud. Look at tbe Maeon and Brunswick Hoad, for example. Georgia, in foot, bad never loaned bar credit to aid in the ooustruo- tion of a railway that she has not lost lha whole investment. From the lend ing of Oglethorpe at Yamaorsw in 1732, to the year 1866, tbe oredit of the State had never beenloaned to rail roads end never onoe.einoe then In wbioh she did not suffer. The earn of $2,400,- 000 of State debt was sunk in the Maoon end Brnnswiok Boad, whioh has never [St id a dollar. It ia a novel idea that the people of tbe whole oohntry. ahall be taxed to support a partioular aeotion. Tba true prinoipte, in the interest of the people, is that wbioh demands the administration of justice between men end men. All else, as U trnly said, is theft and spoliation. All the roads bstween hare and Savannah and all immediate oonneotiona were bnilt by private sabBoriptione. No one wsb taxed for them. They were bnilt by prl vote oapitel purely, end not one corpora tion ever gets its hands into tbe pnblio treasury bat the Bhame and robbery of the State ensues. The Slate owns part of the North and South Boad and the Chero kee and Home and Western Hoads. Where are they? All gone; and yet many {gentlemen went to continue this upon the sole idea that corporations mey beoome rtoh and the people poor throughout thia broad land. -I would rather never see a mile of railroad than thna impose upon the people. The reason why the Western end Atlantic Boad was built was because no people dwelt in that aeotion. Even tbe Indians had not ell gone. I support ed it firmly while in the Legislature, be- oause we bad money in the banks end thonght this a good investment. We saw it to be highly profitable till the dawn of evil times. It is bnilt now end some day will pay something; and yon mey depend upon it that the very honr it Btops paying, the lessees will ebendon it and turn it baok upon oar hands. Pennsylvania has more mineral wealth than any other State. She boa a bounty on iron, e bounty on coal, a bounty on oil, end a bounty on everything she makes, and so with New England. They won’t oatoh fish np there without protec tion. They made ail their wealth by wringing bounty from the people and plundering tbe people of the Sonth, bnt it has come baok now to plague tbe inventors. We now see the arma of the United States nsed, for the first time, to protect private property. The military drams are rolling from Canada to tbe Potomac, and for what ? To orash those who oannot get bread and are plundered by corporations themselves. I am perfect ly willing that oonviet labor should go to the pablio works; we don’t know wbat else to do with it. Yon are compelled to subserve economy and on sooonnt of the oost of keeping tbe oonvioto, to apply them to tbe pnblio works whether direct ly (and that is a bad way) or in tbe hands of those bnilding railroads. I am content for them to be need in the legitimate development of our resources, but when for State aid I give my unalterable oppo sition. Mr. Gartretl, of tbe Thirty-fifth Dis triot, wished to harmonize the opposing fsotions, and thongh opposing State aid, did not wish to prevent the ase of the oonviet system for tbe development of the State. Mr. Bnohenan, of the Thirty-sixth Die triot, opposed State aid in any form, save in oases of pnblio calamity. Mr. Johnson, of the Thirtieth Dietriot, who had temporarily withdrawn a motion to table the amendment, renewed it. He woe unalterably opposed to State aid in any form. These amendments, thongh Conciliatory, did not ohnngethe prinoiple. Th» an “still harping on my daughter.’ Mr. Johnson's motion to table ell amendments and substitutes wsb oerried by a vote of 101 to 56, and aeotion five wee adopted nnemended. COUNTY TAXATION. Section six was reed, as follows: Per. I. Tbe General Assembly shall not authorize any oonnty, municipal corpora tion, or politioal division of tbie State to beoome a stockholder in any oompany, corporation, or association, or to obtain Or appropriate money for, or to loan its oredit to any corporation, oompany, aeao- oiation, institution or individual exoept for purely charitable purposes. Par. II. The General Assembly shell not have power to delegate to any county the right to levy e tax far any purpose, exoept for eduoationei purposes; to build end repair the pablio ■ buildings and bridges; to maintain and support prison, era; to pay jurors and expenses of oonrts to anpport paupers, and pay debts here, tofore existing. Individuals Hava no Rights a State it Bound to Respect. Mr. Hammond, oLthe Twenty-eeoond Dietriot, moved to amend tbe first para, graph of eeotion six by striking ont in line five the worda “obtain or.” Carried, and the paragraph was adopted. THE BELATED BONDS. THE CAPITAL QUESTION. The following proviso was insetted by Mr. Toombs, as adopted by tbe Commit tee of Berision, bnt omitted in tbe re port: Provided that if any municipal corpo ration offers to the State any property for looating or bnilding a Capitol, end tbe State shell eocept snob offer, the oorpora tion mey oomply with the offer. Tbe Convention adjonrned.

The dispute continued nntil the lest men wee ont of sight, when the speculator paid hie half penny end eeid: “Well, after ell, it ie no matter of mine.

From the Atlanta Constitution.] The question of inserting the clause that repudiates, now end forever, tbe bonds that have for some years BB1N PLACED UNDER TUB BARR will oome up this morning or to-morrow. A review of the fight that hoe been made on this question will not be uninterest ing. There are only three olassee of bonds, in behalf of whieh muoh effort bee been made. It ie true, that concerning e fourth olasa, ($100,000 worth held by the Ware house Seourity Company of New York) we have seen a letter reed from the Speaker's desk. But no eerioun effort wee medft to bar these bonds, left out of the prohibi tion. THB THERM CONTESTED CLASSES ore as follows: let. The Scott Ronds.—These bonds, only about $12,000 worth, were issued during the administration of Gov. Mo Doneld, end there ia ne qneetion of their original validity. The trouble with them is this: When in 1872, the Legislature re quired that ad outstanding bonds should be registered within a given time, these bonds were omitted, through carelessness of the holder or bis agent. Payment up on them is now b.rred. 2d: The Boorman Johnson Bonds.— These bonds, $120,000 on tbe faoe, have the following history: The State paid H. I. Kimball $250,000 for tbe oapitol; pay ing him in Imnds. He hypothecated $130,(XX) of these bonds with Hassell, Sage Sc Co. After a short time, Ballook issued $250,000 of new bonds, with whioh to take np these bonds. tie gave them out, bnt they were not used to re tire the old bonds, bnt were applied to a different use. The State then repudiated the bonds first issued and held that tbe last issue only was Valid. . Messrs. Bus sell, Sage A Co., however, received a set tlement. Messrs. JohnBton A Up. now apply for a settlement. 3d. The Branch <fc Co. Bonds.—These bonds are $44,000 on the fees, end were iesned in aid of the M. and B. railroad. Mr. Branob’s claim is as follows: He re- cites that, when the Legieletnre wee sift ing ont tbe bed bonds from tbe good ones, it wee declared by speoial sot of the Leg islature that tbe M. and B. railroad bonds were binding and valid; that Gov. Smith approved this aot; and that relying apon this guarantee of the State, given through its highest oonetitnted authority, he end his partners invested heavily in tbe bonds. The bonds were repudiated at e later date, and Mr. Branoh now asks that the State sustain its eeenrenoe by pay ing him tbe money he expended for the bonds. THE BULK or THE CONDEMNED BONDS, however, do not appear before the oon vention at all. They are donbtleea con sidered “waste paper," and held by onr friends pretty mnoh as we held tbe bine and white rage that passed for money when the Southern oross was beaming in tbe politioal Bky. Of course, if these three oleaees of bonds, now pressing for pay ment, ere allowed, it will open the door throngh whioh millions of more bonds will press their olemorons way. Indeed, tbe payment of Mr. Brenoh’s claim will, it is said, be confession to e prinoiple on whioh the whole of the repudiated bonds of tbe M. AB. railroad ($600,000 in value) will be made valid. BEFUSINO TO OPEN THE DOOB. This fact seems to be tbe ohief reason for refusing to entertain the considera tion of these classes of bonds. There are many good men who believe in the justice of one or more of those olaims. Mr. Jere Blaok, of Pennsylvania, has written a memorial, in whioh he says that he is certain that tbe State owes the Boor- men Johnson debt. Mi. Stephens avouoh- es, in most earnest language, tbe integri ty of Mr. Branob’s olaim. In this be is backed by Governor Jenkins, by Mr. W. Hope Hull, by Major Cummings and by Mr. Toombs, wl:6 toploftioally re marks that if “the State don’t pay it, be will.” Mr. Norwood thinks Johnston’s olaim is good; and so does Senator Klb- bee and Senator Simmons. It is objeoted, however, that to re-open the question now, even to set aright some injustice that may have been done, under the general aot of repudiation, would be to put tbe State in great peril, and to great tronble. It ia contended besides that several Legislatures have aoted npon these matters, and have always agreed upon repudiating the whole emonnts; and that tbe people of Georgia, having by a sovereign vote, incorporated the ordi nanoe of repudiation into the present Constitution, this Convention hoe no right to re-open a question that has been settled in so emphatio, deliberate and solemn e manner. BEFORE THE COMMITTER. The owners of tbe contested bonds st. tempted to get a bearing before the oom- mittee of final revision a day or two ago. Mr. Branoh appeared for himself, Mr. Norwood in person, and Mr. Jere Black, by brief, for Messrs. Boorman, Johnson A Co. They were refused a hearing. Mr. Hammond, Mr. Bobertaon end others spoke against re-opening tbe question even before the committee. Mr. Matthew stated that there could be no nse in listen ing to an argument of the osse unless there weto some membors of the committee who bed cot made np their minds npon the subject; end that if everyone had deter mined upon a decision of the question, be moved that no argament be reoeived. As to Mr. Blaok’e memorial, it was moved to retnrn that endorsed “reoeived end con sidered,” when Gen. Lawton objeoted to this, on the ground that it had not been “flfinfil^ATflil ” Th« mntlAr •hh thna sd- have several thousand doll art worth of fan. “HUMBLY BEIEECUINO, ON HU BENDED KNEES. ’ We asked a lawyer whet ho thought the effect of Major Branch’s course would be. “Why be will get routed," he replied. “It’s well enough to take high-bended measures with an individual, but when a man ia dealing with a sovereign State, he had bettor go to her, humbly beseeching upon hie bended knees, end even then the ohenoes ere that he will get lifted ont empty.” Doctors. »H. ©7 K.
