“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.

THE TRUE CLASSES OF APPELLANTS BKFORB
THB CONVENTION—BUT THE FORBIONEBS
AXE ATEAIP OF THE IMPATIENT MILLIONS
BEHIND.
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.”

of Messrs. Branoh Sc Co., with no effeot,

GETTING AFTER THE STATE’S PBOPEBTT.
The State ia likely to experienee no
tronble at tbe bands of any of tbe dis
gruntled bondholders, exoept Mr. T. P.
Branob. Mr. Branch ia very muoh exas
perated at the treatment be has received,
end deolarea that he intends to seize tbe
pr>perly of the Maoon and BrnnBwiok
Kaiiroad, or the road itself, ns tbe proper
ty of the 8tate. He olaims that the Slate
holds tbe Maoon and Brunswick llailroad
only by reason of the two million end a
half of bonda he endorsed for that road
end which that road failed to pay; and
that aa the State baa repudiated $600,000
of those bonda, the holders of those bonds
own the proportion of the road that their
bonda beer to tbe whole iaane.
He will place tbe levy in tbe hands of
the United Staten marshal, and aaya he
will have twelve deputies sent to Meaon,
and have them atop the trains and seize
them aa bis property. Tbe glate to throw
off the levy of the Ugited Slates marshal
must go in to tbs United States court, and
the the merits of tbe earn can be gone into.
Mr. Branch also avows an intention of
publishing certain correspondence that
S saved between himself end Governor
mitb, end between Governor Smith end
tbe officials of the M A II Railroad upon
| this subject. So it is likely that if Major
I Branch dues not get hie money he will
