THE ATLANTA WEEKLY SUN. A Duty. Wo beg the City Council to excuse us, ■while wo modestly venture a suggestion. It is that the main thoroughfares leading into the city should be fully graded and macadamized. It is believed that more work on these great arteries of trade and less on the interior portions of the city would be a paying operation; and we cite the improvement on Marietta street in has paid out over $38,000 in useless fees to lawyers—mostly for services which were not necessary, or, if in any case necessary, the Attorney General should have attended to the business entirely. Fire at Gridin. the entire block but for the energy of the Fire Department. Mr. Roberts was a dealer in groceries and provisions, and Messrs. H. C. Burr & Son dealt in stoves and house-furnishing goods. We have heard no estimate of the losses, nor do we know whether those who sufleredwere insured. GEORGIA .LEGISLATURE. FOURTEENTH DAY’S PROCEEDINGS. We learn that quite a serious fire oc curred in Griffin about midnight Wednes day night. It destroyed the stores of confirmarion*of - this. Before it Was so] W * H - Roberts and H. C. Bnrr & Son, handsomely pat in order and covered | Hill street, and would have destroyed with cinders, over a year ago, it was, per- jjnps, the muddiest street in the city- becoming almost impassable for vehicle, beast or man, in winter. It was popularly called Miryetta. street. Now, it is one of our best streets—only excelled by those which are paved with stones; and this has improved the travel, enhanced the value of real estate and largely increased the trade on that street and added to the general business of the city. Now, if the city can afford nothing more, it seems to us it would be good policy to put put Peachtree, Decatur, McDonongb, Whitehall, Peters and Mitchell in this condition. If all these Btreets were all well graded, and relieved of winter mud for two miles out, the city trade would bo improved very large ly, and the people of the country who trade to this point would visit this mar ket with far more satisfaction. Peters street is, in some respects, the most important thoroughfare leading into this city. More cotton comes along that street than all others to gether, and a larger country produce every way comes to ns through that chan nel than any other street in the city. In winter it has been excessively muddy— sometimes being impassable for buggies and wagons. Since the Street Railroad has been built, tbe street is in a condition to become a dreadful mire from one end to the other, and the rains of winter will, no doubt, render it impossible to travel over. Some time ago the Council very prop erly ordered the widening and otherwise improving of this street from Barrack’s Avenue to the city limits. The line was defined by the surveyor and the assessments of the property and awards to owners made, but the work is not yet done. The Street Rail road in front of Col. G. W. Adair’s has left no street for ordinary travel, and a wide slice of his front grounds has been marked off to be converted into a street. He has moved in bis fence and removed his trees, and is waiting for tho work of the street hands before completing bis fencing, and has been waiting a long time. Meanwhile, the streets at that ( point would be a quagmire, if a week’s rain should take place. Of course the city cannot do all the work at onco that is necessary to be done, and no one expecls this. The only point we present is, that these great thorough fares, above all other street work, should be specially kept in order; and if any thing has to go undone, it should be some of the streets not so much used for the trade of tho city upon which our prosperity depends. These are some of the thoughts which occurred to us yesterday, in taking a trip on'the street car to West End and returning. We have plared them in our columns for what they are worth, re spectfully inviting attention to the same. Humors and Reports. The Columbus Sun says that H. L Kimball, E. L. Jones, W. D. Cook and Lewis Scofield, Directors of the Colum bus and Atlanta Air-Line Railroad, have resigned; also, that Mr. K. has resigned the office of President of the Company. Upon the reorganization, Hon. James M. Smith, Speaker of the House of Repre sentatives, becomes one of the Board. 11 The Sun also reports that the Kimball House is soon to be sold under a build er’s lien of $100,000. It is stated that Henry Clews & Co. will take hold of the Brunswick and Al bany Railroad and complete the some without delay; that this step is a necessi ty—no other way being left for Clews & Co. to make themselves whole, on ac count of advances made to Mr. Kimball. Also, that the Cartersville and Van Wert Railroad will be completed by Clews & Co. for similar reasons. No one hears anything of Mr. H. J. Kimball’s whereabouts uow-a-duys. It would have been better for Lim if lie hod. remained here and faced the music. It is believed that Governor Bullock has left the United States, and that he will not return to Georgia as long as he is at liberty to go in another direction. Those Big Commissions. The Constitution of yesterday, in pub lishing the account of Henry Clews & Company, made the commissions charged amount to only $72,802.33. This is only the commission charged on the account connected with the sale of Bol lock’s gold bonds, and does not inclnde over $20,000 charged for transactions in old bonds. The true amount of commis sions charged is, as stated by us tbe day before, over $93,000. The interest and commissions charged by Mr. Clews on account of State bond transactions is over $130,000. Bollock was heavy on paying large commissions and big fees. Besides this claim of Clews & Co., he caused $10,000 in. cash to be paid to John Rice, of the Georgia National Bank, for commissions in negotiating State bonds. As before stated in these columns, he SENATE. Thursday, November 16th, 1871 The Senate met at 10 a. m., President Trammell in the Chair; prayer by Rev. Mr. Ketchum; the calling of the roll was dispensed with, and journal approved. Mr. Nonnally moved to reconsider the action of yesterday in refusing to concur in the House resolution to appoint a joint committee to inspect a codification of the laws of this State relating to justices’ courts, prepared by S. C. McDaniel; car ried. The resolution was taken up and con curred in. Mr. Nicholls offered a resolution that a committee of two from the Senate and three from the House be appointed to inquire into the actual cost of the public printing, and that they shall report to this General Assembly such change of section 1038 of the Code as to them shall seem best for the State and the Public Printer; adopted. House resolution, extending tbe time for the collection of taxes for the present year until the 25th of December, as a substitute adopted by the Senate extend ing tbe time sixty days was taken up. Mr. Brown believed the extension of the time would be ultimately injurious. Mr. Reese was opposed to the resolu tion as a bad precedent, and unjust to those persons who have already paid their taxes. Mr. Hinton moved to postpone indef- inately the resolution. Mr. Bbock hoped the motion would not prevail. The motion was carried standing. A House resolution directing the Com mittee on Public Printing to examine in to the laws on public printing as to the rate paid for the same, and that the Gen eral Assembly should go into the election of a Public Printer at 12 o’clock M., was token up. Mr. Lester opposed the resolution, on the ground that another and better me thod is now pending in the Senate, which proposes to dispose of the public print ing in an economical manner and avoids the disposition of the same for partisan purposes. Mr. Simmons favored the resolution. Mr. Wellborn moved to strike out the portion of the resolution relating to the election of State Printer, believing that the report of the Committees on Print ing should be first heard. Mr. Burns contended that the rates could not be changed after the Public Priuter has been elected. He thought that the compensation is as small os it Bhoald be, and that the existing laws on the subject could not be improved. Mr. Simmons offered an amendment that the person elected shall take tho office subject to nnv bill hereafter passed relative thereto. Mr. Smith moved to lay tho whole matter on the table; carried by Ayes—Messrs. Anderson, Black, Brock, Brown, Bruton, Campbell, Candler, Col man, Cone, Crayton, Deveaux, Heard, Hinton, Hoyle, Jervis, Lester, McWhor ter, Nunnally, Peddy, Reese, Smith Wallace, Wellborn and Welch—24.

Mr. McMillan moved to suspend the rules to take up a joint resolution instruct ing the Committees on Public Printing to enquire and report what deduction, if any, is necessary in the rates allowed by law to the State Printer; and, also, re quiring said committees to report on Saturday next; and, further, that both branches of this General Assembly pro ceed at 12 m., to-day, to the election of a Public Printer. The motion to sus pend prevailed and the resolution was adopted. On motion of Mr. Simmons of Gwin nett, the Hoase proceeded to elect Speaker pro tern, and a Clerk pro tern. Mr. Simmons of Gwinnett, nominated Hon. J. B. Camming of Richmond. Mr. Jones of Macon, nominated Hon. E. F. Hoge of Fulton. Mr. Hooe declined in favor of Mr. Camming. The result of the election was as fol lows: Camming, 129; Hoge, 2; McWhor ter, 1; Floyd, 1. Mr. Cumming was declared duly elect ed. Mr. Carrington was then elected Clerk pro tern, by acclamation. The unfinished business of yesterday, to-wit: Mr. Hoge’s motion to have the bill to provide for an investigation into the affairs of this State printed and set down for Monday next, was resumed. The amendments to the bill, the prin cipal of which was to appoint a commis sion, consisting of Messrs. Linton Stephens, E. H. Worrell, W. P. Flern ming, I. L. Harris, and T. W. Alexan der, to make the investigation, and con ferring certain powers upon them for the full performance of the duties involved. Mr. Bryan was opposed to having the bill printed, urging that the amend ments were short and easily understood. Messrs. Hudson and Bush thought that the bill was of such importance that it should be printed, so as to allow ample means for study and examination into all the details and features of the bill. Mr. McWhorter called, tbe previous question, which call was sustained. Mr. Pierce called for a division of the question. The question was divided and the mo tion to print prevailed, The motion to set the bill down as the special order for Monday next was put, and prevailed.

Mr. McMillan thought that the Com mittees on Printing are better acquainted with the matter than any special commit tee, and he was opposed to the Senate Resolution providing for the appoint ment of a special committee. Mr. Bacon was in fa\or of agreeing to the Senate Resolution, rather than get into a wrangle with the Senate. Mr. Scott agreed with Mr. McMillan, and could see no use in multiplying com mittees. He thought that the action of the Senate reflects on the Committees already appointed, and to whom this House had referred the matter by reso lution. Mr. Simmons, of Gwinnett, favored the view taken by Mr. Bacon, and thought that there were some practical printers who would be better judges of the rates to be paid than the standing Committees on Printing.
