tnra of im« and iron fnrracea.
In support of Ida in >uou Mr. Matbswa thought

amptiona This Iron manufactur* waa a paring
bnaineaa, aai. «u uu.ar to the interest of the

nla. wblla at the aau.e time the ir<u interest of the
State wti « or’h more than two, or three tlases the
aotton crop of Georgia. It needed e aumnlant to
aaoonrsge capitalists lo embark in li»* buvJuess. If

^sssabiuitted to tha committee by Morris. Report
In th* construction of the raid Camilla and Cuthbert
Road, thus extended.
On this bill tho Committee ou Internal Improve
ments reported adversely to its passage.
Mr. Hoyl moved to disagree with the report of the
Committee. In 18G8 the State had proffered its aid
to a route from Bain bridge to Columbus. This road
had never been built, nor never would be. The
State bad already given its aid to a road from
Camilla to Cuthbert. Ue now asked an amend
ment to extend aid to tbe road as now
contemplated. It was fifty-eight miles from
Cuthbert to Columbus. This road would connect
with the Norta and ciouth Road, thus giving an out
let to the great West. It wou-d open up a valuable
country, whose people desired connection with the
outside world, and whose products would command
wealth to these people who were in sore need now
of assistance. The blight had swept over this coun
try the past season, the cr. ps were short, an J at
present l&oor was leaving these valuable lands. He
called upon the Senators not to let hearsay evidence
that the road would not j ay—:o govern them in re
iusing :o open up and develop this valuable aid, etc.
Mr. Wofford, iu def-nding the actio.i of the com
mittee iu reporting adversely to the passage of the
biU. s.id it was sgaiust the polic, of tne State to
indorr# any more bonds for railroads. It bad not
oeeu made clear to th* committee that the State
woo d be safe iu indorsing the nbdgatior.s of the
company. However, if it could be made clear to
tbe understanding ot tan committee that the State
wou’d be made sate in indorsing these bonds, tbe
committee would doubtless agree to report l&vora-
niy oa • he passage of the bill.
Mr. F.-rs- favored the report of the committee.
As the bill now stood before the Senate, it
was clenrJy unconstitutional. Not a word
hid been said in regard to tbe pay
ment < f auy stock bv private corporate.s. 'ibis
might have been au oversight which might be over
come by amendment, etc., but as it now stood the
Senate was debarred from taking auy consideration
of the bill.
Wliiie di8cussi"g this subject the Senator desired
to enter his pretext against the re-inauguration of
the policy of gi acting tbe endorsement of tbe State
to railroads. This contemplated road had not even
established, by figures, that it would De a paying in
vestment. He was at liberty to state te the Senate,
tha. tbe great body known as the Macon and Bruns
wick Railroad, of which ail men nearly believed
would pay—ibis corporation which had cost the
State two and a hsif millions of dollars, would iu
less than 63 days be thrown back on the State. If
this is true, will it be wise to keep up this policy
which have tbe same results, Ac.
On motion, the bill was laid on tbe table for the
present
House bills on second reading taken, read and
referred.
Mr. Kibbee offered a resolution to appoint a joint
committee of one from the Senate and three from
the liouxe to investigate the wild land grants now
in the Executive office, and to call up n the Gover
nor for them in order that means may be adopted
to prevent the issue of such grants in the future.—
Taken up.
The President appointed on part of the Senate for
this committee, Mr. Kibbee.

Mr. DuBose of Warren, offered a resolution In

which wax agreed to.
Mr. Twit’y offered a resolution inviting ex-Gov.
ernor Brown to a seat on the floor which was agreed

A bill to provide a public aehool fund and for oth
er purposes.
Also, a bill to provida for tbe paying off of the
public debt of this State.
On motion these bills were made the special order
for to-morrow 11 o’clock.
A bill to prevent fraud in elections in this State,
and to provide for a registration of voters in the sev
eral counties of the State. Committee recommended
a substitute, which was agreed to, and the bill pui
upon its passage.
Mr. Kiboee favored th* substitute. The frande in
the ballot box waa aa evil which needed correction.
The substitute offered a remedy and saved the ex
pease of a registration. It me le the tax receiver's
book a registered list, and offered no iuconvenience
save to compel the vrter to retain his tax receipt as
s certificate of registration.
Mr. Re#66 also favored the passage of the substi
tute. Nfi mau should be allowed the right of fran
chise unless he shared the burdens of
tbe Government. He knew from "his
observations ot the workings jof el*c-
tions that fraud and corruption were mixed up
with them. It was a measure which was a necessity
in his section, and this plan was tho only one which
could accomplish th# ends desirel. Keep your tax
receipt, and in the event it was lost, a duplicate
could easily be obtained. This fact of keep.ug tne
receipt was th* only defect in the system, and no
syatem could be originated which had fewer defects
than this. He hoped the bill would pass.
Mr. Winn favored the bill. While his section did
not need this law so much as others; nevertheless
this was not a question of sections, bats question
in which the whole State was Interested. He hoped
the bill would pass.
After an extended debate, participated in by
Messrs. Blance, Jones, Simmons, Cain and Kites
Mr. Nicholls offered an amendment that tins act
go into effect mime .lately after toe closing of toe
tax books for the year 1873.
Mr. Cain opposed the bill; it was a restriction cast
around the voiars, and would operate deleterious y
to the very inieresis which the friends of tne meas
ure desired to loster. Mr. Cam made au sole argu
ment,
Mr. Simmons favored the bill. It was a measure
desired by all sections of ihe State. The puri y
the ballot box lose superior to personal iuouu.eu-
ieuce, and the good pei.ple of all sections Would not
regard inconvenience when they see the moia
(-ffectsoftliisb.il. It was truly a peace iuei;-,,re.—
No rival par-ics would be seen hastening to ihe
polls in order to get possession first. Riots would
not occur, aud all would be peaceable, from tho lac.
that voters would realize that they must show th ir
rig ot to cast ihe ballots as the geuiasof our system
of government, and the Constitution of the Bute
required.
Mr. Jones favored the bill in a characteristic
sp.-ech, and showed in a practical manner, toe
benefits ol the system.
