Atlanta, November 1.—The following
may be accepted as the official organiza
tion of the next legislatcre :
President of the Senate—Hon. John S.
Davidson, of Richmond.
Clerk—W. A. Harris, of Worth.
Doorkeeper—L. J. Aired, of Pickens.
Messenger—A. J. Cameron, of Telfair.
Speaker of the House—Hon. W. A. Lit
tle, of Muscogee.
Clerk—Mark A. Hardin, of Pulton.
Doorkeeper—R. J. Wilson, of Richmond.
Messenger—J. R. Bull'll, of Cofil e.
The hotel lobbies are beginning to as
sume the boo hive air and every incoming
train is laden with state solons or candi
dates for oftico.
Hon. W. A. Little is here shaking hands
with hi3 friends and looking after his in
terest. Hon. Morgan Rawls has announced
himself a candidate for speaker, and is
here working up his candidacy, but well
informed gentlemen tell mo that it is prob
able his name will not be submitted to the
house. They say he will become convinced
of the hopelessness of his race and will
gracefully unite in paying Col. Little the
compliment r>f a unanimous election with
out opposition, llo may be given the
place of speaker pro tem. by way of com
promise, t hough lie will have opposition
from Hon. A. S3. Clay, of Cobb. lion. M.
V. Calvin, of Richmond, lias been urged
for the place by his friends, and
would have made a formidable
candidate, but he will probably
be withdrawn in the interest of Hon. J. S.
Davidson’s candidacy for president of the
senate. For Richmond to have president
of the senate, doorkeeper of the house and
speaker pro tem., smacks a little too much
of “wanting the earth,” and as Mr. David
son and Co). Dick Wilson arc reasonably
sure of their offices, Mr. Calvin will be
asked not to jeopardize them by pressing
his name for speaker pro tem.
Mr. Davidson will be opposed in his race
for president of the senate by lion. C. R.
Pringle, of Washington, and Col. W. E.
Smith, of Dougherty, both strong men.
Col. Tete Smith is well known throughout
the state, and will have tho following of
the soldier element. Col. Pring'e repre
sents the prohibition element, and will
have a strong fellowiug. Mr. Davidson
has his record as president pro tem. of the
last senute, and the Masonic element to
lend strength to his candidacy. This will
be the most interesting and exciting race
in tho organization of the legislature. D.
H. Carlton, of Clarke, ex-president of the
senate, is not in the present body, having
been elected to congress from the eighth
district. Col. Mark Hardin, the veteran
clerk of the house, will be opposed by
Hon. Cooper Nesbitt, but will be elected.
Col. Dick Wilson will have opposition for
the office of doorkeeper, but will over
come it.
Hon. W. A. Harris will have no opposi
tion as clerk of the senate.

At the last term of the legislature the
Stone Mountain circuit, consisting of the
counties of DeKalb and Clayton, was cre
ated for two years in order to clear the
docket of the Atlanta circuit, of which
these two counties were a part. It has
provtd that the business of the Atlanta
circuit is onerous without these two coun
ties, and an effort will be made
before this legislature to make the Stone
Mountain circuit a permanent one. If it
proves successful Solicitor Ward will be
opposed by J. S. Kennedy.
'Nearly all of the candidates are on the
ground g> tting in their work, and the
Kimball House lobby lias been crowded all

Washington, November 1.—A decision
was rendered in the supreme court to-day
in the case of the Jacksonville ,Pensacola
and Mobile railroad company, appellants
vs. the United States. This was a suit
brought by the railroad company (a land
grant road) to recover the balance alleged
to be due for tho transportation of the
United States mails. The amount- sued for
is tiie difference between the sum recievod
by the claimant for carrying the mail
fr u m July 1, 1873 to June 30,1880, and the
sum that it would hnve received had
the rate of compensation prevailed
up to June 30, 1870, been continued for the
next four years. The company contends
that It. has virtually a contract wit h the
government which should have prevented
the postmaster-general from changing the
rate of compensation. The court holds
that where no collateral stipulations are
made and no duration of time is pro
scribed, but service is exacted simply from
legislation growing out of the acceptance
of tho condition of a land grant, it rests in
the discretion of tho postmaster-genera!
to change the price from time to time an
in his judgment the public interest may
require. It would be against,all analogies
to hold that a continuance of service after
the, termination of a written contract for
four years creates an obligation of renewed
contract, not merely upon like compensa
tion, but for the same duration of time.
There is no principle that could justify tho
implica ion. Tlie judgment of the circuit
court is affirmed. Opinion by Justice Field.

NEW COINS OF OLD ONES.
Small FJmtii;t> Will Soon lie I’lenty—ill I’.n'N
of the Fouiiti-y Want It.
Washington, October 29.—There is an
unusual presence of new-looking bright
nickels in Washington just now, and in
other parts of tlie country too. If you
look at them closely, however, you will
see that thev are not new, but ihat the
edges show that they have been in service
tor some time. Uncle Sam, it seems, has
been rubbing them up. They ure old ones
that ea e back to the sub-treasuries, and
were redeemed and were lying about
waiting to be recast. But as there was
no authority to recast them, and there is a
great demand for smull change they are be
ing cleaned up and furnished to the many
people who wnnt them. They are in
great demand. Gold coins are plentiful
and silver dollars are a drug, but the mod
est one cent bronze and the bandy live
cent nickel coins are in the most demand
and come to the front, by the force oi cir
cumstances, as indices of the reviving
business of the country and important
factors in its awakening prosperity. A
year ago application for these minor coins
began to come in, but as their coinage had
been discontinued for some time and none
were on hand, negative answers were uec-
I essarily returned.
i’.it- l-'hjl uieipbia mint is now beginning
to make new pennies mid nickels, under
the authority given by congress in the
closing hour., of the session, and the de
mand for them is prodigious. The acci
dentally premature announcement by the
department that the mint could furnish
the coins, Lrought to light a pressing need
of them in all parts of the country to facili
tate local transactions everywhere, small
change being very scarce, hindering small
sales and embarrassing the exa.-.t payment
of wages. This is the uniform testimony
from all points of the compass, all appli
cants being equally earnest and empnatie
in their desire to be accommodated. In
addition to the staple demand from the
northern states, there are urgent applica
tions for them from the Rocky mountain
region and the Pacific coast, and the south
ern states, having learned the value of
these coins in the small economies of life,
are desirous to use them as a circulating
medium, although they were formerly re
jected.
Tne ( liInure,fill f lien Strike.
Chicago. November 1.—The threatened
strike among the beef men at the stock
yards was commenced this morning.
Nearly fiOO men are now out from the
slaughter houses of G. F. Swift & Co. and
Nelson Morris. Ttie trouble is over the
adoption of the ten hour system. The
men refusing to work two extra hours
without additional pay. In these houses
there are no hogs killed and tlie employes
say they cannot accept the ten hour sys-
i tem." Each of the firms employ about
I 3090 men and at present many of those are
; congregated about the streets and on the
I corners near the houses, but there is as yet
no indication of any trouble. Tin re is a
great deal of excitement but the men are
orderly ami insist, that no act of theirs wii)
precipitate any trouble. There is no in
dication that force will be called upon to
protect the two houses, but it is yet too
early to determine tho intention of the
two' firms. At 9 o’clock everything is
qniet.
Chicago, November 1.—Further par
ticulars from the stock yards strike are to
the effect that Swift's men sent a com-
mliteo to him on Saturday and insisted on
having an increase of 50 cents per day
should the firm return to the ten hour
system, and this was agreed to. This
morning when tho beef butchers went to
work they found that Foreman Welder, of
Swift's, had discharged James Mathewson,
one of the committeemen. They also
found that the wages of the laborers had
not been increased, and so they struck.
They insist now on having Mathewson re
instated and also on a return to eight
hours a day. Oil hearing that Swift’s
men wore oil’, the beef butchers employed
by Nelson Morris went out. The crowd
went down to Smith’s machine shop and
compelled the men there to strike. After
this they went to Armour’s for tho purpose
of calling his men out, but tills move was
anticipated by the Arm, who got a force of
police to guard the principal entrances,
and the crowd was kept away. The
strikers arranged to bold a meeting during
tiie day. A member of t he executive com
mittee told a reporter that unless tiie two
firms gave in, all employes-in the yards
would be called out.
MORE TALK OF A TREATY.
The Fuuaifiuti I-ov.Tinner.I to Submit a New Dvaf.
Ottawa, Ontario October 31.—It i3 un
derstood that an effort will soon be made
by the dominion government to induce the
American government to reconsider the
draft of the proposed extradition treaty
between Canada ami tho United States.
Several new amendments calculated to
prove acceptable will be submitted. In
official circles here it is stated that the
last draft wa3 deliberately rejected by a
small clique on the ostensible ground that
it might affect political liberty, although
it was exp-essly provided that the draft
should not. cover political offenses. The
federal gover.inient is opposed to the pres
ent conaition of affairs, aiid would readily
agre -. o cay measure rendering the present
harbor of rofttpe to erimi a Is impossible.
The iv.,u. .Hr. Thompson, minister ol
iiwli.-e, said to the Times’ correspondent
this evening. “I am heartily in fiver of
the cir.iif, rejected by tlie American somite,
vrhit h in the punt steadily refused to re
ceive or discuss any proposed amendment
to the existing trea iea. Communications
have passed between Ottawa and Wash
ington frem time to time, but so far with
out avail. Tlie last draft enlarged tho list
of extraditable offences to a gratifying ex
tent. I trust that a treaty calculated
to settle all disputed points between
the two oountries and render, tbeir mutual
relations more intimate and cordial will
be adopted ere long.”

Fupl lira.
Halifax, October 31.—Consul-general
Phelan received an official document from
the. department of customs to day which
will doubtless form an important factor in
other cares of American schooners', and in
dicates a marked change in Canadian
treatment of American fishing vessels.
Some weeks ago tlie American fchoonnr
Pearl Nelson put into Aricbut tor shelter,
iler captain and entire crew belonged to
tho place, and as one of the men lmd oi.xi
i during the voyage .arid iiis comrades .vant-
I ed to convoy the sad news to ids bereaved
j widow and family, the crew went ashore
! early in tlie morning before the vessel re
ported at the custom lienee. For this she
| was seined and fined $200.
| The department now remits this flue. Ii
| is difficult to see bow tlie department tan
I refuse to remit tlie tines imposed on ether
[ American vessels under similar cireun:-
j stances. Consul-General Phelan lakes the
i ground that there is no law whatever to
! punish an American vessel for allowing
men to come ashore before reporting, and
he claims that the action of tho authori
ties in the Pearl Nelson ease is simply sus
taining the Canadian law, which has been
violated by minor Canadian officials.
Tiie remission of this fine, together witli
the fact that the Elcuzer Boynton, seized
at Liverpool on Sunday, was released with
out a fine, looks ns if Canadian law’ would
hereafter be administered in a different
spirit. Consul Phelan, during an interview
with Minister of Customs Borrell yester
day, arranged that all American vessels
requiring necessaries of life may obtain
them anywhere in the province without,
special permission in each ease from Ot ta
wa. Five seiners are now in port getting
supplies. They prefer coming to Halifax
to being humbugged by sub-collectors at
the out-ports.
The evidence against tiie Gloucester
schooner Moro Castle is so conflating that
Minister Borrell has appointed Inspector
j Hill to make a special report on the whole
case. Consul Phelan says the affidavits of
captains and crew show that the Moro
Castle has not been in the port of Chester
for three years, and could not, therefore,
possibly be guily of smuggling there in
1884. The counsel will endeavor to get the
vessel put into the admiralty court, aud
thus compel the government to prove the
other charges.
Miniate Borrell denies that the Cana-
dim govT.r.-.nicnt apologized to the United
Stat-.s for Quigley’s act in hauling down
the stars and stripes from the Marion
I Grimes. When asked why it was that
j Quigley administered the law so much
more rigorously than ail other cruiser cap-
| tains and collectors of customs, he said
| Quigley was simply doing liis duty and en-
1 forcing the law as it was on tlie statute
book.

Bloody Story of Guilty Low.
Chicago, November 1.—A special to the
* News from Wichita, Kansas, says: Lee
Mosier was brought to this city last even
ing and confined in the county jail
charged with murder. He was riding in a
farm wagon with Richard Lalier and It. E.
Amer when he pluced a double barrelled
shot gun at Laller’s back and fired, killing
him instantly. The murderer who is not
over 19 years of age confesses the crime,
I and alleges that he was hired to do the
| deed by Laller’s young wife and her former
husband, who promised to meet him here
I last evening and pay him for the job.
They failed to appear, however, and there

refused to accept the reply of tho regency
to his ultimatum and will leave Sofia. He
threatens to bombard tiie barracks and
tho government buildings at Varna if any
opposition is offered to the debarkation of
Russians at that place.
IT IS ALL UNTRUE.
St. Petersburg, November 1.—Both
I he Novoe Vremia and Novoste declare that
the opening ofthe sabranje is u fresh anti-
Rup'-inn demonstration, which jeopardizes
the success of General Kaulbars’ negotia
tions with tho Bulgarian government, and
may render the dispatch of Russian mcn-
of-war to Varna fruitless. The Novoe
Vremia says: “The Bulgarian people are
not, a political factor to bo reckoned with
the army of Bulgaria, which is tlie only
power that lias hitherto been controlled
by the regency. The army might
be reduced to a band of armed po
litical adventurers who would not
shrink from the most desperate tneamms
to save themselves and their instigators.”
Also continuing tlie paper says: A settle
ment to conform witii Russia’s intention
must not cost ltusaia more than that, in if-
ter is worth, and all depends on finishing
it! in one way nr auothor with the regency.
We believe that the best course to pursue
is to discontinue forthwith negotiations

An Active Day Conutderlng BrnwbitckH.
New York, Novo m her t.—To-day’s stock
market, was moderately active with a writ
distributed business throughout, and not
withstanding that to-day was holiday in
London and that to-morrow is holiday
here, which would presumably have the
effect ol decreasing the amountof business,
transactions to-day were considerably in
excess of last week’s daily average. Tlie
feeling w. s almost unive rsally in favor of
higher prices, and everything on the list
showed an advance when tlie bidding up
of many in the last hour caused considera
ble selling, ami in some cases early gains
were lost. The most important feature
of the dny was tho advance in stocks ef
fected by a deal going on in New England.
The opening war firm, and prices showed
advances over Saturday’s figures, ranging
from 4 to fq Tlie market was moderately
active and firm and so continued until the
last hour, when there was a free selling
and Die market closed weak. Advances
are in a majority this evening, and St. Paul
and Duluth, with a los3 of 1(, shows tho
only important decline. Manhattan is up

West Point 1J, on considerable activity.

Surveyor Beultie shot.
New York, November 1.—Surveyor
Beattie was shot about noon to-day in his
office at the custom house by a discharged
inspector, who fired five or six shots at
him. Particulars cannot be obtained as
yet, nor is it known whether or not the
wounds are fatal.
New York, November 1.—The survey
or’s would-be assassin is Louis Bieral, a
man who gained some distinction in the
war of tho rebellion. He was for about a
dozen years attached to the custom house.
About a week ago tho surveyor dismissed
him from the service on its being proven
that he was in the habit of exacting
money from poor emigrants at Castle Gar
den, where be was lately stationed. The
specified charge on which he was removed
was compelling an emigrant to pay $2
duty on u sewing matliine. Ilo gained ac
cess to the surveyor’s private office shortly
after noon, while the surveyor was alone,
fired several shots and rushed from the
room, ilo was seen and followed by i.
crowd; and growing frightened lest he
tome to harm at his pursuers’ hands, he
ran into the arms of a policeman and beg
ged to be arrested. Beattie has two
wounds, one through the hand and one
through tho thigh. The latter is the most
serious, but at present don’t seem likely to
prove fatal.

MR. GRISWOLD MUST PAY.
A l.miK-Stnnillnir Suit Brought to 11 Close.
Newport, R. I., October 31.—In the
United States circuit court to-day the
equity case ol Mr. John N. A. Griswold, of
New York, against Mr. Rowland Hazard
ami other creditors of tlie now famous
Credit Mobilier, were entered and the bill
of complaint was dismissed with costs for
defendants. The plaintiff's demurrers, if
settled in his favor, would relieve him
from liability to pay tho large amount of
money which tlie defendants claimed
from him In the state courts. Originally
the title ol the suit was Isaac P. Hazara
and others against Thomas C. Durant and
others,aud tlie allegations were that Durant
while vice-president of the credit mobilier
committed certain frauds upon the corpo
ration. Tlie amount named in the papers
was $63,735, but it is understood that this
represented but an exceedingly small por
tion of what was involved, representing
only the principle which was to lie tested.
Durant was in 1868, when the suit was
brought, on a yachting excursion with a
large party of indies and gentlemen who
were here in that summer, and upon their
landing on Saturday night, August 22,
Durant was arrested and put in jail. One
of liis friends at once sought for his release,
and urged Mr. Griswold to become bail for
Durant’s appearance. Mr. Griswold states
that ho understood the bond which he was
asked to give was simply a ne exeat one,
but it is now claimed that tlie bond was not
only for Durant’s uppeurauee, but that it
ol)ligated Griswold to pay the amount of
the judgment if Durant did not. A few
months ago the case was entered in the
circuit court by Mr. Griswold, who asked
that tlie Hazards be restrained from bring
ing a suit against him for the amounts in
volved, Durant being dead. The ourt
dismissed Griswold’s appeal for such re
straint upon the Hazards, und now he
comes before the court upon demurrers.
This bill of complaint which was dis
missed by the court was drawn
by the late Secretary of
State Frclinghuysen. The important
deintvMers which worn argued Vv.'e first,
lack ul,jurisdiction ofthe state curts for
the reason that, according to the : >vs of
the ’a 1 e of Rhode Island r. stnuk E’tder
ci". -'M i.i Vr.iT.ain a suit i:i law or »iit.tr

of organization.
Tho hill also cited other lv;.n i.s which
might justify a suit which cannot be claim
ed by the Hazards. The second demurror
was to tho effect that tlie official receiver
of the Credit Mobilier gave Durant a re-
! lease from any and all claims tho corpora-
I tion had against him, and, it was claimed,
timt reirr.scn tho bond which Griswold
gave, liis release was the outcome of a
suit brought in tho circuit court of the
United Stales for thn eastern district of
! Pennsylvania in 1875. By direction of the
I court last named this release was given to
Durant by Oliver A men on. October 27, 1891.
Mr. GrhwoUi will now have to pay the
I amount of the bend, with interest.
SAM SMALL'S WATCH,
I .R'lvcler Want-. Pity fur li .Uni Sulim Slhernir*.
Cincinnati, October 30.—An attachment
which was issued yesterday for a gold
watch worth $150 and silverware worth
$200, purchased la ,1- v. inter by Sam Smull,
the revivalist. oi’Abn.ham Hi. inau, jewel
er, aud not paid for, lias created considera
ble l alk here, particularly aiming ehureh-
going people. The story is that in addi
tion to tlie watch and silverware Sam
Small bought diamonds to the value of
$700. The diamonds were paid for, aud a
note for .50 days was given for the other
articles. Smull writes from Toronto that
tlie revival work has been so pressing upon
him thnQhe forgot all about tlie note.
The Rev. Dr. Joyce, of St. Paul’s Metho
dist Episcopal church, speaking of the
mutter to-day, said : “ 1 have no doubt
that Small lias a mania for purchasing such
things, a fact which a keen douler could,
no doubt, very easily discover. I know
him very well, and I have never seen any
thing in his conduct that was not consis
tent- with his Christian character. Nearly
every man has some weakness that it is
difficult to resist, and that appears to be
SraaJl’s. But he is honest, and I don't
think any iear was felt by Steiuau of the
loss of bis money. I think had lie come to
me I could have assured him I bat 1 would
get the money from Small for him.
1 know there have been reports
that these men Small and Sam Jones have
been loose in their expenditures, but I
happen to know that Jones has expended
$45UO in charities ; that he is now support
ing four young men in college for the
ministry, who otherwise would be unable
to graduate, and tliut Jones gave the $1500
which purchased the camp ground at Car-
tersville, Uu. So, you see, liis expenditures
are in tlie right 'direction. Small will be
here on November 3. A man with his
weakness ought to be very careful with
whom he deals. I have no doubt he will
pay the bill when he arrives.”
