Annual Meeting of the Georgia

Sensation Sprung; at the Start.
Atlanta, Oct. 28.—The general as¬
sembly of Georgia met in the state Cap¬
itol here. There is a full attendance.
Questions of vital importance are to be
taken up at this session of the legisla¬
ture, among them being the disposition
of convicts at the expiration of the
present lease. A sensation was sprung
at the very beginning.
Condemned 31© Kin ley's Course.
Hewitt Hall, chairman of the house
penitentiary committee and law part¬
ner of Governor Atkinson, introduced
iu the house of representatives a resolu¬
tion condemning the president’s ap¬
pointment. at Hogansville as postmaster
a man objectionable over the protest of
1)0 per cent of the property owners and
responsible citizens.
He said that the president would not
dare to appoint a Chinaman in a western
town, or an objectionable man in the
north or east, over such protest. The
appointment is characterized as an ex¬
hibition of narrow spite and sectional
hate, unworthy of tiie high officer—tiie
president of the United States
Mr. Hall said that the south had been
loyal to the Union since the war, and
deserved as much as any other section,
and that no true man would ask more
or accept less.
The resolution passed viva voice, but
division cut off the announcement of
the result. After the discussion it was
referred by mistake to the committee on
state of republic, which has 1! Populists
and Republicans and four Democrats.
Their report will be made later.
Air. Atkinson l>i«ctt*«e* Mobs.
In bis annual message, read before
bot h houses of the legislature, Governor
Atkinson gave special attention to mob
violence in Georgia, in the coarse of
which lie declared that several innocent
men had been lynched in this state. He
said:
“There is no justification nor excuse
for a resort to lynching, even in the
class of cases when the defendant is
charged with the most dastardly and
horrible of crimes. No man doubts in
these cases that the law will punish find the
guilty, and if he did, he could not
u remedy by making a murderer of
himself.
“The remarkable fact exists that in a
majority of instances the party lynched
is taken from the custody of the offi¬
cers. I can understand how a near
relative of the victim of the lust of a
human brute, who sees before him the
man who he believes has committed the
outrage, and in the heat of passion slays
him, can enlist the interest and sympa¬
thy of a community; but how any one
can fail to condemn those who are
guilty of the cowardly act of taking
from the officers of the law a man who
is disarmed and helpless, and hanging
him without trial, surpasses my com¬
prehension, practice does not de¬
“This barbarous
crease, but increases crime. Having
stained their hands in blood, its perpe¬
trators are more easily led to again vio¬
late the law. Recently a man tried on
the charge of murder and convicted of
shooting a citizen through the window,
as he eat by his own hearthstone at
night, confessed also that he it was who
tied the rope around tiie necks of the
two men who wore lynched in Colum¬
bus in 18%. I condemn it and will not
apologize for such lawlessness. To ex¬
terminate tiie practice it must be made
odious and dangerous. Tiie penalty
should be tiie scorn of the people and
the punishment of the law.
Protection of I’riiioiieri,
“That it may be ascertained whether
or not the officer having the prisoner
in custody does his full duty in every
instance, I recommend the passage of a
law requiring a thorough investigation
in every case and providing adequate
punishment when he falls short of the
full measure of his duty in protecting
his prisoner. When this is done he
should be ineligible to election or ap
pointment to any office until his disa¬
bilities are removed by the general as¬
sembly. of
“Tiie administrator or family a
party taken from the custody of ari offi
cer and killed, should he authorized to
recover from the county tiie full
value of the life, which in no case
should be less than $1,000. This provi¬
sion will not only, by appealing to self
interests, make the stronger influences
in each community active in opposition
to lynchings, but, upon principle, is but
doing justice to the family of the vic¬
tim. ”
Henry Boyd Will Be Hanged.
Gadsde.V, Ala., Oct. 28. —Great ex¬
citement has prevailed for the last sev
eral days at the circuit court for Mar
■hall county, being held at Guntersville.
Henry Boyd and his wife were arrested
and tried for killing Cora Starnes, all
the parties being negroes Iu July last
he split the negro’s head open with an
ax, and upon the charge of murder his
trial has just ended. There were sev
era) mobs organized for the purpose >f
lynching him, and were only prevented
by the jury bringing in a verdict of
guilty, after but a few moments’ delib
eration. Judge Biibro sentenced him
to bang Dec. 10.
