It is n bill to declare the endorse
ment. of the State's guaranty on the bonds
the Alabama A Chattanooga Railroad
Company under not of March 20, 1870,
null and void, and to prohibit the Gov-
Treasurer, or any other officer of
tho State from paying tho principal and
interest thereon.
Graham claimed that tho indorse
ment of tbo bonds by the Govornor was
unauthorized and unconstitutional, for tho
constitution requires that the State shall
have u prior lien on all railroads con
structed within her limits; wheroas the
State has a lieu on only that portion of
the road within the corporate limits of
the Stuto, yet the entire road belonged to
and wus under tho control of ono com
pany. Tho ao! won unconstitutional be-
uuho it authorized tho Govornor to ou-
dorso second woityayc bonus. Tho login-
uf out Stato was in conflict with tho
previously acquired rights of individuals
and tho prior legislation of Alabama,
wherein such legislation was unconstitu
tional. Tho constitntion of the State re
quited that she have the first or prior lien
ruilrouds whose bonds she hsd en
dorsed, which w as not the chho in this
instance. In conclusion ho moved that
the bill offered by himself be Adopted as
a substitute for thut of tho Bond Com
mittee.
McMillan thought the seizure of
tbo road by the State authorities displaced
the lien of tho State of Alabama. While
ho did not believe the argument of tbe
goutlomun from Dade was legally sound,
nevertheless very plausible, and ho
would move to recommit the question to
tho Bond Committee. The fact of tho
opposition to tho report of the committee
he suspected wus prompted by the inter
est of tho creditors of tho roud.
Mr. Hsll linked the motion to recommit
would not prevail. This snbjoct was de
layed for the purpose of allowiug interest
ed parties to propare an argument in their
favor, which they promised to deliver
before the Committee, und had failed to
do so.
Tho motion to recommit prevailed.

Mr. Jervis was opposed to exempting
editors and moved to tablo the bill, hut
afterwards withdrew it.
Mr. Styles favored tho bill. The idea
of taxing tho press never entered the
minds of legislators until Provisional
Govornor Geuerol Huger taxed them. —
He cited the fact that printers had to have
tools to work with. Why make them nu
exception ? Tho press publish your laws,
your legislative proceedings, and every
thing affecting tho interests of the people
free. Nine-tenths of tho papers have lost
money every mouth this year.
Mr* Mathews opposed tho bill. The
true policy was equal burdens aud equal

Mr. Hillyer asked that tbo Governor’s
Message on this subject be read. Tho
Governor's Message recommending the
remission of the tax was rend.
Senator Hillyer supported tho hill. It
was unjust to require tho collection of
baok taxes now’. It wus tho immemorial
custom not to tax them.
Mr. Reese said Gen. linger endeavored
to do his duties, that ho euforccd the stat

preachers, doctors, lawyers; teachers had
to pay tax, why exempt this charmed cir

Ain't you convinced now, old fellow, that
Columbus is tho placo to sell cotton and
get your money back ?
Muscogee County Hay.—Wn saw a
load of hay yesterday from tho plantation
of Capt. J. A. Cobb in this county, which
according to our notion was snporior to
any Northern hay we ever saw in our
market. It was sold to Capt. S. H. Ilill
at #1.50 per hundred, or about $7.Oft per
bale. Capt. Cobb informs us that there
is a sufficiency of grass in his immediate
vicinity to make a thousand bales of hay,
whiob, at the above prico, would foot up
the snug little sum of $7,000. He soys
tho main difficulty in the way of cutting
and oaring ta the scarcity of labor. Wo
advise all of oar planting friends to imi
tate the example of Capt. Cobb, and save
hay when other work ta not pressing.—
There's money in it.

A THROUOH TICKET AT CHEAP BATES
Wo are now fairly into the Presidential
Campaign, the two great parties having
chosen their respective leaders and being
now engaged in tbe work marshaling
their forces for what ia evidently to bo
one of the moat ezoiting and decisive
political contests this country has ever
witnessed.
While we shall continue to do all in onr
power to promote tbe success of the
Democratic and liberal Republican can-
didates—firmly believing that (ho issue
involves the poliiioal freedom and equality
of onr section if they succeed, or its con
tinued oppression and humiliation if the
rule of Grant and Radicalism is pro.
longed for tour years more—wo shall
endeavor faithfully to report the progress
