VOTES IN THE CAUCUS.
Atlanta, November 7.—[Special.]—
This lias been a Gordon day in the Sena
torial fight. A legislative anti-Gordon
caucus was held at the capitol this after
noon with no result of consequence. No
effort has been made to yet concentrate on
one man. A caucus of Gordon's lieuten
ants was held this afternoon at the Kim
ball, and for the first time they gave out
their count. They claim that Gordon has
113 unequivocal pledges. Above this cer
tain vote they count about twenty others
with more or less confidence.

BLANDFORD RETIRES FROM

DOWN TO WORK,
Atlanta. Xoveliibet' 7.—[Special.]—
All the talk about the hotels before the
members came over, and about the Legis
lative halls after they got here, has been
over the Senatorship.
I find the anti-Gordon element talking
confidently, and the Gordon men seem
ingly happier than they have been at any
time.
What does it mean, and who is getting
fooled?
That’s a hard question to answer. The
Alliancemen are, in my opinion, making a
big bluff today. The first caucus hurt
their cause; there is not a doubt about that.
Last night's caucus may have helped them,
but it is a noticeable fact, and one which
they take pains to conceal, is tliat their
caucuses have all been very small. At no
time have they had enough votes to elect.
The anti-Gordon men who are outside the
Legislature are using a good deal of breath
in cussing the stupidity of the Alliance-
men in not having some sort of organiza
tion here to fix the members against Gor
don as they arrived on the scene, and they
are now talking of the election of Gordon
as a decided probability, when a
few days ago they couldn't be made to
acknowledge that Gen. Gordon's election
was even a mere possibility.
Now, while there is nothing definite in
all this talk, it shows the tendency of opin
ion. Alliance leaders are still strong in
their claim of at least 125 votes, but they
are unable to point them out.
At this hour, while the morning session
is being held, the outlook is just this: At
3:30 an anti-Gordon caucus will be held at
the Kimball. At 'he caucus the first thing
to be done is to take a count of noses and
see if Gen. Gordon is beaten. Then there
will be a show of strength among the can
didates here, and when that is done today
it will be found that Norwood has a good
lead of all the candidates now before
the Alliance or anti-Gordon forces. There
is a decided difference of opinion as to
whether the crowd can agree cn him.
THE SENATE.
Two very important bills were intro
duced in the Senate today.
One of these is that introduced by Sena
tor Todd, of the Atlanta district. It is a
sweeping State prohibition law “to pro
hibit the licensing or selling intoxicating
liquors within the Slate of Georgia in
quantities less than a quart, and to regu
late the sale of the same in quantities more
than a quart.'’
The bill provides that “it shall not be
lawful for any State, county or municipal
authority in said State to grant licenses for
the sale of any intoxicating liquors, nor
shall it be lawful for any person to sell the
same in less quantities than a quart.”
Further, “that when any State, county or
municipal authority in this State shall
grant, under existing laws, licenses to sell
any intoxicating liquors in quantities more
than a quart, it shall not be lawful for any
person selling the same to allow said intox
icating liquors to be drunk on or near the
premises where sold.” Violation of the
act is to be a misdemeanor and to be pun
ished as described in Section 4310 of the
code. *
The other was introduced by Senator
Joe Terrall, of the 30th—“the man that
beat Snelson.” It is to make the term of
the common schools six months; and in
cludes incidentally a number of important
changes in the common school system.
The County Board of Education shall
have authority to say during what months
the schools shall be taught. A provision
is incorporated that white and colored
children shall under no circumstances be
allowed to attend the same school.
The State Board of Education shall con
sist only of the Governor, Attorney-Gen
eral and State School Commissioner. The
salary of the School Commissioner is fixed
at $2,000.
The County Boards of Education &IC to
he elected by the grand juries >f the severs 1
counties, and to consist of five- stockhold
ers, holding office for a term of four years.
When the County School Commissioner,
who is elected by the County Board of
Education and holds office four years, gives
official notice to the State School Commis
sioner that the common schools are within
one month of closing, the latter shall exe
cute an order upon the Tax Collector of
that county in favor of the County School
Commissioner for that county's quota of
the fund and transmit it to the County
School Commissioner, and shall send no
tice of the apportionment to the Tax Col
lector of that county as soon as the appor
tionment is made. It shall be the duty of
the Tax Collector to retain, of the taxes
first collected, a sufficient amount to pay
the sum mentioned as the county’s quota,
and shall pay the same upon presentation
of the order of the State School Commis
sioner. The Treasurer shall,in settling with
the Tax Collector, receive the order of
the State School Commission. Nothing
in the act shall be construed to prevent
any county school commissioner from ad
vancing any. amount, not exceeding 50
per cent, of the amount due, estimated
upon the basis of the preceding year to
teachers in the common schools, after the
said schools have been in operation three
months.
The act does net become operative
until 1892. This bill, aside from its im
portance, derives a peculiar interest from
the fact that it was made the main issue
between Joe Terrell and Suelson in their
fight for the seat that Terrell holds now.
That bill beat Snelson.
Two bills were introduced today—one in
the House and one in the Senate—the two
being identically alike, to carry into effect
the amendment just adopted to the consti
tution. in reference to pensioning the wid
ows of Confederate soldiers.
It was introduced in the House by Col.
J. T. Crowder, of Monroe, one of the old
est Confederates iu the Legislature, and in
the Senate by Hon. Richard Johnson, of
the Twenty-first, one of the youngest Con
federates. -
A bill was introduced in the Senate today
to create a new Judicial Circuit, to be
known as the Tallapoosa Circuit, compris
ing the counties of Polk, Spalding and
Haralson. The Judge and Solicitor to be
elected by this Legislature; the Judge for
a term ending in ’94, the Solicitor for a
term of two years.
The first bill to be read a second time in
the Senate, and the only one yet, is that
of Senator Harp, of the Twenty-fourth—
to grant a new charter to the city of Co
lumbus.

Dr. Maxwell, of Talbot, is the author of
a bill making it unlawful to manufacture
or sell spirituous wines or malt liquors
anywhere in the State without first taking
out a license, and the State laws and pen
alties applying to retail licenses are made
applicable to dealers who sell in any quan
tities whatever.
Mr. Calvin introduced today a resolu
tion to this effect: “Resolved, That the
rules of this House shall require that no
Senate bill shall be declared concurred in
unless the same shall receive a majority of
the votes of ail the members elected to
each house of the General Assembly, and
the votes in favor of such amendment
shall in every instance appear on the
journal.”

amending the Railroad Commission act so
as to provide for the investigation of
through rates from points in Georgia to
points^ out of Georgia.

JUDGE BRANFORD'S WITHDRAWAL.
Judge Mark Blanford withdraws from
the race for the Supreme Court, and will
not ask for re-election.
His formal announcement is made this
afternoon as follows:
Atlanta, November 7, 1890.
To the General Assembly of Georgia:
I take this method of announcing that I
am not a candidate for re-election to the
office of Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court. The duties of the office I now
hold are such as to afford me no time to
canvass for re-election, if I desired to do
so.
Hoping yon may elect to this position a
much more able anil competent person to
perform the arduous duties of the office
than myself, and with my best wishes for
yourselves and the prosperity of our
State, I remain.
Your obedient servant.
M. H. Blanford.
The field is clear now to Judge Sam
Lumpkin, of the Northern circuit, and
Judge Richard H. Clark, of the Stone
Mountain circuit.
Judge Blanford’s withdrawal was a com
plete surprise to most of his friends.
Hon. Alf Herrington, of Emanuel, who
has been in the race for the Judgeship of
notorious Robbers’ Cut, at 2:40 o’clock
this morning. The train consisted of
seven coaches, including mail, express and
baggage cars. The robbers had remove!
the spikes, bolts, and fish plates for a dis
tance of three rail lengths, and placed
crowbars under the rails so that they
would spread. When the engine touched
the loosened rails it jumped the track,
broke loose from the tender,
j and ran fifty feet on the ties and turned
i over. Fireman Lyons jumped and escaped
, injury. Engineer John Boyd stuck to his
post and received a s v re wound on the
back of his head, and had his hand badly
cut. The tender turned across the track,
throwing part of the mail car thirty feet
to the side of the track. There were four
postal cleiks in the car, and all were
slightly injured. J. D. McCarty, one of
them, received a severe injury to his right
leg. The baggage and express cars
were completely wrecked. The smoker
which was filled with passengers, was
turned up side down and the car was badly
smashed. Strange to say, not one of the
occupants was severely injured. Two
chair cars jumped the track but did not
turn over. The Pullman car was the only
coach to remain on the track. The en
gineer had stopped the train a short dis
tance from the wreck to make some repair
on his engine and the train was moving
only about eighteen miles an hour when
the engine struck the loosened rails,
to which fact is no doubt the mirac
ulous escape of the passengers and train.
