jLoiaisville, Ga: FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1871. _ Bullock and the School Fund. Says the Atlanta Vent/Uul ion: Bul lock and his faction tried to make great capital out of an assumed zeal in free education. Let us see how this zeal showed itself. It took every dollar of the old school lend out oi the Treasury for Bullock to squander. For this fund there are now ia the Treasury 8268,000 of bonds de posited, which are so much waste paper. A batch of 8332,000 of the same sort of bonds was sent North by Bullock to be negotiated, and have come back to the Treasurer’s office unused as far as we know, and also cancelled. This makes the SOOO,OOO of those school bonds. Not only this, but the last Legislature provided that all of tho poll tax, liquor tax and circus tax, and half of ths Stnte Road income, should consticuto the school fund. Bullock and his crowd have used every dollar of this money without depositing a solitary bond in the Treasury therefor, in conformity with law. Thus, over half a million dollars of school money has been used by this Badical administration that has gassed so boisterously about its interest in edu cation. And this amount is ono of Bul lock’s contributions to tho State debt. Verily, it is a long lane, this, that leads down the financial course of our late Rufus. Wc hope to get to the turn some day. . From the Macon Telegraph. FROM ATLANTA Monday, Nov. Gtb, 1871. Both Houses were engaged to day, in reporting bills, principally of a local nature, which we have not room to pub lish. SENATE. Tuesday, November 7th, 1871. The Senate met, I’rcsident Trammel in the chair. Prayer by Rev. Armiuiiß Wright. The Journal read and approv ed. Bills were read the fust time. By Mr. Hillyer: To require non-resi dent liquor dealers to take out licences. By Mr. Nunually.- To incorporate the Mechanics’ ami Traders’ Bauk oi Georgia. By Mr. Peddy: To incorporate the LaGrange and Birmingham Railroad, and grant certain powers and privileges to the same. By Mr. ltccse : To compensate Ordi naries, Sheriffs and Clerks, of the Supe rior Courts ; also, to provide for taking bonds of public officers, aud qualifying the same. By the President: To regulate trials before juries in certain caseß, providing that a requested charge which is reject ed shall not be read to the jury ; also, to prescribe the manner of incorporating hills of exceptions, ami for other purpos es ; also to amend section 2534 of the Code, miking personal property pur chased bona fide and held for two years to be discharged from all lieus. Bills on third reading : A bill to repeal tho Usury Laws in this State, and to fix the rate of interest (at 7 per cent.) where the same is not fixod by agreement of parties. Mr. Matthews offered an amendment providing the rate of interest agreed up on shall not exceed 12 per cent. Mr. Brown advocatod tho passage of the bill on the ground that it would tend to reduce the rate of interest prac tically, and that money should bo sub - ject to contract as other commodities. Mr. Hinton opposed the bill because it would divert capital from such invest ments as would benefit the public, would advance the interests of a few at the cx pense of the many, and the law which it proposes to repeal has stood the test of many years trial. - Mr. Brock spoke in favor of the bill, Mr. Matthews, also, favored the bill, Mr. Hillyer proposed an amendment that the rate of iuterest shall be fixed at 7 per cent., which may he changed by agreement, in writing, of parties for a time not longer than ono year, aud il the debt shall not be paid at the expi ration of that time, 5 per cent, only shall be collected thereon ; and insisted that this amendment Would mako it to the creditors’ interest to collect the debt at the end of the year, and to promote the circulation of capital, and would break the force of the innovation. Mr. Brown opposed tbc amendment. The amendment of Mr. Matthews was lost. The amendment of Mr. Hillyer was lost. The bill was passed. A bill to provide for filling the unex pired term of R. B. Bullock, late Gover nor, by a speeiai election, was taken ap and referred to Judiciary Committee. Bills on first reading. Mr- Hinton : To make penal the sale of personal property subject to a mort gage. Mr- Smith : To amend section 31S1, of tho Code, so as to give moving cred itor in garnishment priority over all oth ers. Mr. Jordan i To define wbat shall be • lawful fence—making eight rails of ordinary size the only requisite; Ncydmlei- S.—The Senate refuted to reconsider Its action of'yesterday repeal- • ing the District Court act. A spicy debate occurred, in (be coarse i of a brace of Radicals were ihiy- j ed£ Thaprovkiog-tau-e ot the debate wap tbc preamble ■<>•! resolutions, intro duced by Biown, pronouncing a large number of the witnesses called to testify before the Congressional Ku klux Com mittee, as unworthy of ciedit before any court, and asserting that the people oi the State were never more peaceable and law abiding, and inviting that por tion of the Ku klux Committee now here, to summon the Judges of the Su perior Court of the State, and pledging -the aid of the "Genera! Assembly to en able said committee to investigate any outrages against tho la a of tbc State or of tho United States. The negro Senator, Campbell, appos ed the adoption of tbe resolutions, and Brock delivered himself at length against thorn as untrue in regard to bis district. Candler sprinkled tirera both with hot shot. He denied tha existence of the alledged lawlessness, aud charged Camp bell as being aincttnUrt to a bench war rant arrest, from which be was screened by Lis membership in tbe Legislature. He enlightened Brock with the evidence of his knowledge of iris aiding in the rob bery of tbe State of 81,COO as chairman of the committee in charge of tho Stnte road. The amonut was spent by Brock for liquor and cigars. Campbell essay ed to reply, but Brock remained as dumb as a slioep. The preamble and resolu tions were adopted. Lester's resolution was adopted, ap poiuting Iverson L. Harris, AV. B. Klein ing and John B. Alexander to represent the interest of the State ia the Albany and Gulf Railroad. House. —On motion of Hudson, tbe Committee on Privileges and Elections wero directed to inquire into the right of L. O. Jones, a resident of Fulton coun ty, to represent Macon county. A multitude ol bills were introduced, mainly of local interest and not of suffi cient importance to be telegraphed. The following Lills were on their third reading : A bill to create anew county of the name of Stapleton, by a division of Jef ferson county —rcfeircd to the Judicia ry Committee. A bill abolishing the City Court of Macon—passed. A bill to change tho time of meeting of the Legislature to the th:rd Wednesday in July—laid on the table. A meSFago was received from the Ex ecutive, transmitting a communication from J. E. Brown, reporting certain er rors in tho inventory of the property ol tho State road. Tho communication was referred to the Committee on the West ern and Atlantic Railroad. A message was received transmitting tho report of the Secretary of State, showing the registered issue of railroad bonds since tho act requiring their reg istration in his office after October, IS7O The report exhibits tiro issue for the Brunswick and Albany Railroad to be $1.800,000; fertile Macon and Bruns wick Railroad 8600,000; for tho Cher okee Road $360,000. It was referred lotho Finance Committee. Adjourned. November 9.—A number of bills were on the first reading, but ioi of very pressing importance.

Tho Judiciary Committee reported as a substitute to the bill to appoint a com mittee to investigate the official conduct of Bullock, a bill providing for an elec tion ol two committees vu'u rote by the Senate and House, ono committee to in vestigate the official conduct of Bullock and other State officers, aud the other committee to investigate tho lease of the State Road aud its picviotn 7nau agement. A number ot amendments were proposed, among which Hinton moved to insert the names of Linton Stephens, James Johnson and W. B. Fleming as the committee to investigate the official conduct ot Bullock, and the names of Warren, B. H. Hill and Geo. W. Ad: :ms as the committee to investi gate the management of tho State Road. Pending a motion to recommit tho bill, substitute and amendments to a special committee from tbe Senate and House, [ tbc hour of adjournment arrived, and i the Senate adjourned. The Squato adopted resolutions un sealing Wm. Henry of the 44th District, and declaring that as no legal election was hold, Thomas J. Parks is not enti tled to said scat, and requesting the Governor to order an election to fill the vacancy. House.—The motion of Bush to ro cousidcr tho resolution of yesterday to pay members SIOO each was tabled.—- Tho following bills were on third read ing : A bill to provide for a special election for Governor, with a substitute by the Judiciary Committee, providing that tbe election be held on second Taesday in December, and that dupli cate returns, addressed to tbc President of the Senato and House, bo laid before the Legislature for a declaration of elec tion in case the person exercising tbc du ties of Governor fails to transmit the returns as directed by law, was made the special order for to morrow. Bill to make it a penal offence for a lalorer to abandon tho service of an employer, thereby breaking the contract, was ta bled.

A resolution offered by Bacon for tbe appointment of a committee of seven to thoroughly investigate tbc ficancial transactions of Bullock with H. Clews and with all of the hanks, v was laid on tbe table, as a bill to the same purpose was before the Judiciary Committee. A resolution offered by Pierce, direct ing tho House Committee ou the West ern anti Allantic Railioad to inqtiiro aud report upon the legality of the lease and validity of the bond was a dopted- lltwls introduced a resolution direct ing the committee on Internal linprove j meets to report a bill affixing tbe penal- I ty of railroad companies which have re ceived State aid, for neglecting to make i tho reports required by law, and to fur ther protect the State in issuing aid to : railroads, which was adopted. The House squarely denied the right of a member to hold a seat beyond two years under the Constitution, in the case of George W. Humph, claimant of the teat from Wayne county, where no election was held at tbe last general election. Humph having been a mem ber of the previous Legislature, the Committee on Privileges and Elections recommended that the seat be declared vacant and the adoption of a resolution directing the Governor to order a spe cial election. Thereportcf the com mittee and the resolution providing for the elcctiou was adopted. Cummiog introduced a resolution, re questing Coulcy to furnish information in regard to the land scrip donation to Georgia by Congress. Adopted. Ad journed. Page, the fugitive member from Lee, who is under indictment for the murder of Miller in Lee couuty, has been ar rested at Chattanooga and held for re quisition. Tho lease of the State Road is loom ing up for consideration in the Legisla ture. President Brown complains of a defective inventory, and asks a correc tion in behalf of the lessees. Gross de fects are apparent. The Constitution will publish an article to-morrow morn ing showing that a very large portion of tho property of the road has never been valued at all, and that much of it is val ued at prices improperly low. None of the depots and station houses have been priced, and new engines worth $12,000 to SIS,OOO, are put down at SIO,OOO. Only 510,760 worth of property along the line ol the road has keen valued. That Bullock played havoc with the credit of tbe State, is further evidenced in $175,000 of State endorsod bonds, re ceived by tbe Cartersville and Van Wert Railroad, ami a further issue of $300,000 to the same road, when the name was changed to tho Cherokee Road. Tbe first was lobe taken up, but both sets are out yet. SENATE. NoveMi’.Eß 10.—The resolution of Mr. Wellborn to recommit to a special com mittee of two from the Senate and three from the House, the bill to appoint a eommitteo to investigate Bullock's offi cial acts was adopted. Nichols, of the Commute ou Educa tion, recommended the printiug of 500 copies of tho report of the State School Commissioner—adopted.

The special order was taken up, which was the resolutions of the Committee on Privileges and Elections, declaring tbe i scat of William Henry of the 4-lth dis trict vacant. The resolution declaring Henry’s seat vacant was adopted after a lengthy de bate. Ayes 27, nays 9. Adjourned. HOUSE. The special order was taken up, which was a bill to provide for the election of a Governor to fill the unexpired term of Bullock. It occupied the entire session in its discussion. The chief bone of contention was the third section, provid ing for sending duplicate returns to the President of Senate and Speaker of the House in addition to those transmitted through the Executive, ns a precaution against the neglect or refusal of Conley to transmit the returns. The speakers opposing tho third section were Bryan, McMillan, Simmons of Gwinnett, Scott, W. D. Anderson, Gumming, Jackson and Iloge. The speakers sustaining tho bill entirely, were Johnson of Jefferson, Bacon, Pou, Hudson, Fhillipsand Pierce. Tbc amendment of Simmons of Gwin nett, to strike out the third section pre vailed, and tho bill was passed as a mended.

Jackson's resolutions directing the late treasurer, and other officers of tbe State road, to pay the balanee of the earnings of the State road iu their hands to the State Treasurer, and preventing the payment of any portion of such funds, by tbe late officers of the road, to the commissioners appointed by Builoek to investigate the affairs ot the road, were adopted. Griffin, of Houston, introduced a res olution directing the Finance Committee to inquire why tbe State Treasurer under Jenkiaa does uot report to the present Treasurer, what disposition he has made of $350,000, reported to have been in his possession for several years. McMil lan, Pou and Russell earnestly favored a suspension of tbe rules, that immedi ate action could be had on tbe resolution, asserting boldly that a truthful investiga tion was courted by the Jenkins admin istration, notwithstanding the fact that the report made by Jones to the last Legislature, was endorsed as satis factory.
