GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
THE HOUSE HAS A FLOOD OF NEW
BILLS.
THE NEW CHARTER OF COLUMBUS—SEN
ATE COMMITTEES APPOINTED.
GOSSIP ABOUT THE SEN-
ATORSHIP.
Atlamta, November 12.—[Special.]—
The House is keeping up its record as to
the number of bills introduced. A cynical
critic might object that they are aiming at
quantity rather than quality in legislation.
Most of the bills are, of course, of local
importance only. Considerable time was
taken up, too, in the reading of bills a sec
ond time.
Amongst the general bills introduced
were the following:
Jackson of Heard—To change the com
pensation of inspectors of oils and fertil
izers. Another to appropriate the amount
saved to the State in this way—the amount
of fees collected in excess of $1,200—as a
fund for the treatment of diseases among9t
the domestic animals of Georgia.
Twitty of Jackson—To amend Section
920 of the Code, regulating the duty of
tax receivers.
Wooten of Daugherty—Amending the
fence law.
Hogan ofLincoln—Prohibiting any per
son divorced for any other cause than
adultery, from marrying the second time.
Note.—No objection to the third or fourth
marriage, and so on, indefinitely—only
the second is objected to.
Pope of Oglethorpe—Providing for the
establishment of a branch of the State
University.
Another, accepting the appropriation
from Congress of the $15,000 on the old
landscript fund for the University of Geor
gia.
The bill providing a new charter for the
city of Columbus, was read the first time
today in the House.
The following communication is fur
nished for publication relating to the Al
liance organization of the House and Sen
ate, recently completed.
At a conference meeting of the members
of the General Assembly who are Alliance-
men, held Tuesday night, 11th inst., the
following resolution was introduced by
Hon. M. Y. Calvin, of Richmond, and
unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That this conference of the
members of the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives who are Alliancemen (pro
posed to be held each Tuesday night dur
ing the session of the Legislature) shall be
for social purposes. A free interchange
of views on pending legislation may be in
dulged in, bnt in no case on any measure
under consideration in the General Assem
bly shall a vote be taken or agreement en
tered into. Henry L. Graves,
Secretary.
The Senate did little today except hear
the announcement of the committees and
adjourn.
A resolution was passed authorizing the
appointment of a committee of ten on Con
gressional apportionments.
The following bills were introduced:
Mr. Johnson, of the Twenty-first dis
trict—Requiring* railroads to fence both
sides of their right-of-way, and to provide
cattle-guards at crossings.
Mr. Williams, of the First district—To
regulate the law of “years support.”
Mr. Love, of the Twentieth district—To
make the first Friday in December “Ar
bor Day,” and providing for its observ
ance.

Gordon and anti-Gordon
That’s still the issue in the Senatorship.
As long as it stays that way Gordon cer
tainly can’t be beaten, and maybe elected.
There seems to be no prospect of the
Alliance centering upon one man before
the balloting begins. The best they can
do is to hold an aggregate majority against
Gordon, but divided amongst several other
candidates, for the first ballot or two.
What will happen afterwards, in that
event, nobody can predict.
Gordon’s friends are confident of his
election; many of them going even further
to declare that he will be elected on the
first ballot.
That isn’t impossible at all; but he will
have to gain several votes between now
and Tuesday to do it.
RETIRED GRACEFULLY.
Atlanta, November 12.—General Gar-
trell and Hon. W. C. Glenn announce
their withdrawal from the race for the
Senate. Pat Calhoun and Judge Hines
spoke tonight,. Norwood will not speak,
but has a long letter in the Constitution
to-morrow, instead.
OUT OF THE RACE.
Alanta, November 12.—[Special.]—
Sterling Roberts has withdrawn from the
race for the assistant keepership of the
penitentiary, giving as a reason his news
paper work, which would suffer if the po
sition was accepted. This leaves the field,
practically, it is believed, to Bob Wright,
of Elbert.
Governor Northen today reappointed
Col. Kell as Adjutant-General.
WILL AGREE ON A CANDIDATE.
Atlanta, November 12.—[Special.]—
Tomorrow night there will be a caucus ot
anti-Gordon members of the Legislature to
agree upon one candidate. This is from
the inside and thoroughly reliable.
