GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
I Another Unsettled Item.
"When H. L Kimball sold tlie Opera
House to the State of Georgia there was
a mortgago of $00,000 upon it—which
mortgage is still unpaid. This mortgage
was for that amount of money loaned to
Kimball by the North Western Mutual
Life Insurance Company, to enable him
to pay the purchase money, and assist in
the building.
That mortgage is still unsatisfied. Not a
cent of the principal has ever been paid,
and the interest on it since May last is
due.
Bullock knew that mortgage was
against the property when it was pur
chased by the Legislature. Kimball
knew it was unsatisfied when he deeded
it to the State, warranting it to be free
from ail liens. Bullock paid Robert H.
Brown $500 to investigate the title, and
accepted his opinion thut the title was
good. Mr. Brown must have known of
the mortgage, for his law partner at the
time, Jbeige Hopkins, knew it.
The Life Insurance Company named,
of which Dr. Wm. H. White is the effi
cient agent in this city, loaned this mon
ey here, and in addition to the security
of the mortgago on the property, re
quired the building on it to bo kept in
sured, in the sum of $60,000, and the
policies properly assigned to the North-
Western Mutual Bollock has been keep
ing up this Fire Insurance, paying the
premiums with the people’s money, and
specifying on the face of the policies,
that the loss, if any should occur, must
be paid to the company holding this
mortgage.
Another fact is significant. The deed
made by Kimball to the State of Geor
gia, has never been recorded, uuless it
has been done within a few days past.
Wo have not yet near reached the bot
tom of the frauds and robberies perpe
trated byj the Kimball-Bullock-Blodgett
Ring. •_
The Public Printing.—Tho bill re
ported by Maj. Hillyer to tho Senate does
not reach the evil that exists, and is
worth but littl**, if anything. If we un
d’erstand it eoivoctly, it only proposes to
reduce the am mtol printing to be done,
and the profi. on the cost of the same
from 30 per c at. to 25 per cent. We
have not seen the bill, but are told that
these are the main features in the reform
proposed in the bill.
This amounts to almost nothing, and
is not worth tae time taken up in its
consideration. If the Legislature means
retrenchment; if the members really de
sire to cut off all unnecessary expenses
and every possible source of corruption,
and lighten the burdens of the people,
let the root of the evil be struck at.
The mere lopping off of one or two
small branches is a trifie, unworthy of
the attention of meD.

Baptist Colored Ministers’ Insti
tute.—This praiseworthy enterprise is
now in session at Milledgeville, Georgia,
hiving commenced the 14th instant, md
w . uuntinue till the 8th Decomber. The
iuoutnte is for the instruction and ti-ui -
ing of colored ministers, and is a work
of deep interest and importance. Rev.
E. W. Warren, the pastor of the First
Baptist Church, in this city, is the Su
perintendent, and is now at Milledgeville.
Married, Convicted op Theft and
Gommitted to Jail.—Avery inauspicious
honey-moon was commenced in our city
on last Saturday. Mr. Frank Jones, an
employee on Mr. John James’ new resi
dence, appeared before Justice Butt yes
terday, charged with stealing an over
coat from Mr. G. W. Pool, on Saturday.
He was committed to jail to await his
trial. The romantic part of the adven
ture is, that Mr. Jones was married Sat
urday, stole tho over-coat on Snuuux,
and went to prison on Monday. Unfor
tunate bride.
Domestic Economy—A lady, v»u.»hu8

somewhat embarrassed wheu Lis mistake
was explained; albeit tbe error was a
natural one, as tbe name of the book
that was wanted should be consider. «t in

hibited.
Athens vs. Watkinsvxlle.—This ques
tion is arousing a good deal of debate,
investigation and antagonism in the Leg
islature. So persistent and unceasing
have been the efforts of the parties con
cerned that the once purely local question
claims the attention of the whole Legis
lature. Those who oppose the removal
of the Court House from Watkinsville
have sought to introduce a substitute
submitting the question to the discretion
of ihe Ordinary, which, it is alleged,
would virtually defeat the removal. An
other substitute has been suggested to
submit the case to popular vote of the
county. The advocates of Athens meet
this with the fact that 1,400 petitioners
against 600 shows the sentiment of the
majority. They further urge that the
bitterness of feeling, strife aud conten
tion, incident to such an election, would
estrange friends and families, and divide
sections of the county beyond the hope
of recon (filiation. Many friends of the
move are anxiously awaiting the action
of the Legislature.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
The House met at 10 a. m., Speaker
Smith in the chair.
Prayer by Rev. Mr. Cox.
Journal approved.
Mr. Crittenden moved to reconsider so
much of Saturday’s proceedings as relate
to the adoption of the report of the Com
mitteeon Privileges and Elections declar
ing that there had been no election in
Calhonn county. He said that his object
in favoring a reconsideration was that
further time may be given to Mr. Pierce
in order that he may get up some testi
mony in the case.
Mr. Peeples thought that the matter
had been thoroughly investigated by the
committee and fully discussed' by the
House, aud said that he was opposed to
reconsideration.
The motion did not prevail.
Mr. Lipsey moved to reconsider so
much of the last day’s proceedings as re
late to the loss of a bill for the relief of
John T. Whitset, of Lee county. The
motion did not prevail.
Mr. Pierce of Hancock, moved to re
consider the action of this House in
passing a bill to provide payment to
physicians of fees for services to pau
pers in certain counties.
Air. Pon favored the motion, urging
thut the law, as it stands in the Code, au-
th< 'ri/.t n such payineut.
l'nia motion prevailed.
Mr. Simtmns of Gwinnett, moved to
reconsider so much of Saturday’s pro-
i#...‘•lings as relates to the loss
"t a bill to authorize the
use oi ibis year's State tax in his county,
for the purpose of building a court
house in said county; he thought that
the reduction of the per diem of mem
bers would be better economy than to
keep a county out of a court house.
Mr. W. D. Anderson said that Cobb
county has no court bouse, and he de
sired to have the reconsideration prevail
so thut the matter may be investigated
and the bill allowed to pass with some
additional counties added, if the State
e u afford to do without the tax from
these couuties.
Mr. McMillan, also, favored the mo
tion, aud thought Mr. Auderson’s idea
of having an investigation made was a
good one.
Mr, Pierce opposed the motion, re
marking that if the door is opened, fifty
counties would be added—he was as
ready as Mr. Simmons to vote for a re
duction of per diem.
Mr. Bush also opposed the motion,
saying he was in favor of economy, and
ready to put his per diem as low as any
other man.
Sir. Griffin of Houston favored the
motiou to reconsider, and thought that a
feeling of magnanimity for those coun
ties which have not lost so much to aid
those counties which were particularly
uufortunate duriug the war.
Mr. McMillan moved to suspend the
rules to take np a resolution instructing
the Joint Finance Committee to report a
special bill to-morrow morning,looking to
the reduction of per diem. The motion
prevailed aud the resolution was adopted.
Mr. Hunter moved to suspend the
rules to allow Mr. Craig to move a re
consideration of the action of this House
on Saturday in defeating a bill to amend
the road law.
By unanimous consent the bill was al
lowed to prevail, and the bill set down
for future action as reconsidered.
The special order of the day, to-wit:
The bill to investigate the affairs of this
State was taken np.
Mr. Phillips offered a substitute for the
bill, which substitute provides for the
appointment of a joint committee of ten
to make the investigation.
Mr. Hoge stated that the Judiciary
Committee were evenly divided, and it
was intended that the bill, with amend
ments, should be reported back without
amendment.
Mr. Simmons, of Gwinnett, offered a
substitute for the whole, providing for
the appointment of a joint committee ol
seven to make the investigation proposed
immediately. This substitute was allowed
to be read for information.
Mr. McMillan offered a resolution de
claring that each member voting for the
passage of this bill would donate one hun
dred dollars of his per diem as pay for
those who make the investigation, and
an additional two per cent, of all sums
recovered as compensation. This resolu
tion was read for information.
Mr. Scott said that he had offered
the bill to appoint an outside Commis
sion to make this investigation, through
the advice of some of the most learned
men in this State; that it was not de
signed by him to make any reflection
upon this intelligent and patriotic Legis
lature; but that a full, complete, rigid
and fair investigation into tke_ stupen
dous frauds that have been perpetrated
npon our State, may be made, and in the
selection 7 of the gentlemen who are
named in the bill, those have been chosen
whose reputation is not confined to Geor
gia, but whose integrity and learning are
known throughout the nation. There are
many intellectual and sterling young
men in the General Assembly, but their
leputation has yet to be made, and
public confidence outside of their own
sections is yet to be gained to that ex
tent which would satisfy the great
demand to be made in the conduct of
this great responsibility. Committees
have before been appointed by the Leg
islature to make investigations somewhat
similar to this, and in no instance have
the people been satisfied. There are ma
ny intelligent men in this Legislature
who are unwilling to accept this great
responsibility if it could be avoided.—
One objection urged against this outside
commission, is that the gentlemen pro
posed are ineligible, but the question of
eligibility does not apply to men who
are to take testimony for the use of
this General Assembly. Instances of this
question of eligibility are found in the
Pennsylvania Reports. The most thor
ough and satisfactory plan to make this
investigation should be adopted, and to
take members from the General Assem
bly would be to put their counties with
out representatives during the time
this investigation is being made.—
Wise and shrewd scoundrels have had
hold of the affairs of this State, and their
tracks have been so covered up that it
will take the keenest and most searching
eyes to detect iheir villainies.
Mr. Cummin g said that no odium
which could be heaped npon the men
who are said to have plundered our State
and Treasury would be more intense than
that which already attaches to them,
and the most important matter now to be
attended to is to sift tho question of ille
gal issues and use of bonds so as to find
out to which of them the State can and
ought to plead non esl factum. The
men who have perpetrated these outrages
are deeply skilled in villainies and will
require great care, labor and skill to
find them out; but while that is true, he
was unwilling to admit that this Legisla
ture is unequal to the task. The 14th
Amendment would be used in the outset
to retard the action of the outside com
mission, and while the gentleman from
Flyod dwells so much on experience, he
leaves out energy and zeal, which are
more important elements in the prosecu
tion of this matter. Besides, it is not pre
tended that the outside commission could
be induced to act for the same compeu
sation as members of this General As
sembly, and that, from information re
ceived, the people expect their represen
tatives, whom they elected for this pur
pose, to do the work.
M;. Phillips said that ho appreciated
Mr. Scott’s motives in desiring the ap
pointment of an outside commission, as
well as tho high attainments and un
doubted integrity of those who are to
compose it; out the members of this
General Assembly were elected to do
this very work, and they are competent
and ought to be willing to stand up man
fully and do whatever work the good of
tho State may demand; beside, it would
cost about twenty thousand dollars to pay
this outside commission, while the
members ought and would do the work
for a reduced per diem. Moreover, un
der the bill, these outside commissioners
could not even give an opinion even after
they have made the investigation, and
the responsibility would at last come
home to the General Assembly.
Leave of absence was granted to
Messrs. Flynt, Lipsey, Taylor, Howell
Bateman, and Ormand.
Pending Mr. Phillips speech, the
House was" declared adjourned until
a. h. to-morrow.
loss of a quarter of a million dollars in
the Hannibal and St. Jo stock, in which
the officers and directors are alleged to
have speculated with its funds. Mr.
Semmes, its Secretary and Factotum to
Hank Smith, stated last evening it would
not be able to open doors soon, if at all.
There were rumors last evening that
the Yorkville Savings Bank, of which
Henry "W. Genet is President, had borne
heavy run, that its assets were entirely
insufficient, and that a crash was inevita
ble. The depositors are mainly of the
poorer class. The officers of this institu
tion say that there was no run upon it,
that its deposits are under $100,000, that
its directors are men of wealth, and will
be able to make good any deficiency in
the event of such unlooked for circum
stance as insolvency.
The World says that Judge Hogan, one
of the directors of the bank, said' last
night that fmless there was fraud no se
rious trouble could result, and if there
was fraud he would not be sorry to see
the guilty party hung to the nearest lamp
post; that the poor men whose hundred
dollars had been taken from them would
be very likely to take the law into their
own hands. The Judge never attended
the meeting of the board though nomi
nally an officer. The Secretary and Wal
ter Roche, however, assured him that all
was right.
The officers of the National Savings
institution, corner of Houston and
Broadway streets, of which John Mc
Bride Davidson, the ring’s safe man, is
President, deny that it has suspended.

New York, November 20.—Connolly
has resigned and Mayor Hall has ap
pointed Andrew H. Green Comptroller.
B jturns from several election districts
are found to be defective. Three elec
tion inspectors have been arrested and
held in $20,000 bail.
Alexis has arrived, and is at the Clar
endon Hotel.
The Guardian and Bowling Green
Savings Banks have been closed. The
National Savings Bank pays all demands.
Emanuel B. Hart, a leading Tammany
Sachem, says Tweed must resign his
membership of the Tammany Society
and of the Democratic General Commit
tee, and, if he does not, measures will be
taken to force him out.
The 'steamer Mary 'Howell, with the
Reception Committee and members of
the Press, started down the hay to greet
Alexis. Notwithstanding the heavy rain,
hundreds of elegantly dressed ladies ac
companied the committee, and hundreds
of persons stood upon the pier regardless
of the storm.
The committee have decided there
shall be no parade to,day in consequence
of the storm. The Reception Commit
tee will board the Svetland and ask the
Grand Duke whether he prefers to pro
ceed at once to Washington, or remain
here and have a public reception to
morrow.
Broadway is thronged with expectant
citizens, the news of the postponement
of the procession not having been pub
lished. The Russian frigate, bearing
Alexis, sustained no damage—did not
ship a sea during the terrible storm.
Alexis was dressed in the simple uniform
of a Lieutenant; is tall, strongly Luilt,
and has the air of a gentleman; clear
complexion, light hair aud whiskers, blue
eyes, speaks English quite fluently but
appears to prefer French.
The frigate met a storm off Hatteras
on the lUth, which lasted until Friday
night, when observation showed her forty
miles off Cape May.
Twenty-three additional cases of small
pox have been reported since Saturday
at noon.
The Executive Committee of the Com
mittee of 50, appointed to investigate the
charges of frauds in the Brooklyn City
Government, have requested the Com
mon Council to furnish such facilities as
will enable the committee to accomplish
its purposes.
Proceedings in Bankruptcy have been
commenced against the Guardian Savings
Bank.
The Grand Duke accepts a public re
ception to-morrow, until which time he
remains on board the Svetland.
Athens, Ga., Nov. 20, 1871.
Editors Atlanta Sun: We were high
ly entertained, on the night of the 17th
inst., by six select debaters, in a public
debate of the Demosthenean Society.
The young men certainly did themselves
justice, and admirably represented their
society. All the debaters did very well,
yet we feel we express but the opinion
of the majority of the audience, in say
ing that Mr. Leonard Phinizy made the
speech of the night. The night was fa
vorable and the audience flattering. We
hope to witness another such entertain
ment soon. These public debates ought
certainly to work out good to the socie
ties, and, as far as *we can judge, .they
have been of great advantage.
On Saturday, the 18th inst., the two
literary societies elected their anniversa-

a reduction of the compensation now al

are earnestly condemning the proposi

Why should these papers, iu such
unison, raise this cry ? How are they
concerned iu it ? Why should their edi

gant compensation now allowed by law,
and the chance for a continuation of the
combinations, bargainings, and corrupt
praotices of the past ?
The Cotton Claims Commission
Washington, November 19.—A. large
number of cotton cases are before the
Court of Claims, which will soon resume
its session. Some of them will depend
for their allowance npon a decision to be
rendered by the Supreme Court of the
United. States on appeals, the Court of
Claims having recently decided against
the claimant on the ground that the
proclamation of the President removing
commercial restrictions went into effect
at the time of its publication, and not on
the day of its date. The non-suited
party contended that it took effect at the
time the original copy was filed in the
department of State. There having
been seizures of cotton between the date
of the proclamation and the day of its
publication, the decision of the Supreme
Court therefore becomes important in
the adjudication of these claims, the
proclamation having, in its effect, dis
pensed with cotton seizures.

Madison, was in the city yesterday. He
has just returned from a visit to his old
home in Rochester, N.. Y. He came to
Morgan county immediately aftei the

service, but came South without any
bitter resentments, and came also to make
a living and make money—not by playing
the part of a carpet-bagger, but by hard
work, and by honestly casting his lot with
the Southern people.
Notwithstanding he is a Northern man,
who was in the Federal army during the
war, and, we believe, is a Republican in
politics, yet he has the confidence and
respect of everybody in Morgan county.
He is not afraid of the Ku-Klux Klan.
He has induced a number of Northern
families to settle in Morgan county, who,
like him, have gone to work, and are not
trying to rob our people—as mere carpet
bag adventurers do. They are all doing
well, and are respected and treated as
neighbors by the people.

The Election Bill.—Acting Governor
Conley has kept the bill to bring on a
special election for Governor in his pock
et till now. He evidently intends to veto
it; if not, he would have approved it be
fore now. He will doubtless send in his
veto to-dav, as we believe it will become
a law without his approval, if it is not
returned with his objections to-day.
Meantime, the friends of Bullock and
the plundering “ring,” have been, in a
very sly way, bringing every possible in
fluence to bear on some Democrats to
make them weak in the knees, so as to
prevent the passage of the bill by the
Legislature over tbe veto.
A little girl, five years old, daughter of
Rev.G. W.Maxon.of Tulhottom, fell from
a balcony, last Thursday, and received in
juries from which she died.

proceedings against the man who made it.
