be diiectty felt a"d met* in t'e r ow j

over again : ''Penny wine and 1 onnd

It is gratifying to know that evorj
tfl lit liua been inn !o that coll and in- hon
orably made, upon the part of <>nr ow
Representative, Capt. J. II Hunter,
Secure its passage.
We can only conjecture the cause ■
failure. It may be found in the fui
that another corpot alien, one "f the mo
powerful iu.tlte State, I tm lie Home ei and
to cmaumm.ite — a connecti n with Di
Oulfof M*-* ; eo. We see that a bill war
passed, allowing "the All* •»• y, Mobi 1 *
and New Orleans Railroad Cos., to adnp
as part, of Ibis line, the road from Alhii *
to Bakely," which has recently been
cci Btrueted by the Cnipofatbn referid
to. If thin be true, then the frienda ol
the A. & 0 R. R. must make m <
stiennoiis efforts t< secure the cmileni
plated extension at onco.
Notice has been given that a call f"
recnaidei ntion of the measure in tl<
ITnusi-of Representatives will he made
We may sti'l hope that better judgme
will prevail, and t 1 is im; ortant matt
receive the endorsement ol the next
Legislature.
(.eoifcin Legislature
Tlie Cdnstitutio provides that tb
annual sessions of the Genetni Ass* rubly
of Georgia ahull not Continue long-r
than forty days, unless by a tw • thirds
vote. Ti e present Legislature was ii
sc-ss nn forty days on lust Monday, but
by a two-thirds vote it c -nt titled to
hold over one day mere; thciefor*- D •
inference is, that the session of 1873 ad
journed on last Tuesday night.
During tlm Inst f-w days of tie ses
aiou a vast amount of bosuns- was
transacted, but at this writing it is dis
ficult to discover what new laws hav
been added to the statutes of Georgia.
A tew wo- ks will develop results, and
thou the "law makers” will receive tie
meed of praise < r condemnation.
Among the business transacted ot
Monday, we observe the following :
The bill to change the time of bolding
thn Superior Courts of the Southern
Circuit pass' and.
The Senate confirm <1 *1 W 11. l T n
llerwnoil, dodge «,f the IL mi Circuit, aiat
Byron B. Bowers, Judge of the Albany
Circuit. It D fused to C‘bfiini William
Garrard, i»f tiavannah, Solicitor General
of the Ee»ti-rn Circuit.
Robert P Tripp was confirmed Judge
of the Supreme Coint. Toe 8 rule at
•ml refused to confirm Tripp, bnttcj
was finally cnnfiimed by a majority ol
two. Tiie ft ii nds ol Judge Montgomery
consider tie has been badly treated
lie would not have taken Ids S' at on the
bench at the commencement of the pres
ent term lmd not cel tain intimations of
appointment been held out to him by
Qov. Smith.
The recommendation of the llntise on
Mojvdav, was that a tax of only four- :
tenths of one per cent, be collected 1 for
general purposes. Nutting's Bond Bill,
however, will necessitate a spec at lax
in addition to the tax lor general pur
poses.
The Bondholders’con promise has not;
yet been con ideicd. Ii was a delicate
question, and the tnemheva have avoided j
it.
An interestiug dialogm> was over
heard, just in front of the Mmshall
House, in Savannah, last week, during
the "stock ride’’ :
"I say, John, you must lord mo mot -
ry enough to pay my hotel bill. I
harn’t one c< lit done 1 listed c- mplet- -
ly.”
"Well, Bill, I can't do it, got jest
enough I*- settle my own—nary cent t*>!
spare. I’ll have to walk to t e depot—
got no money to pay mv passage.”
