J! ourment on the 10th.
ffr. Westbrooks moved to strike out
110th and insert the 18th. Lost.
Mr. King moved to lay the resolution
i the table. Agreed to.
The special order was the considera
tion of a bill to fix the rate of interest
Georgia, at 8 per cent.
Mr. Awtry was particularly zealous
support of the bill.
Mr. Roberts, of Cobb, offered an
amendmend providing that no more
than 8 per cent, shall be charged for
the collection of any claim or for any
commission.
Mr. Luffman opposed the amendment
unjust and ruinous to the bill.
Mr. Hanks took the same view and
declared that the amendment would
defeat the bill.
Mr. Roberts withdrew his amend,
mont.
Mr. Hudson occupied the chair tem
porarily by request of the Speaker.
Mr. Livingstone opposed the bill as
being impractiable.
Mr. Awtry again spoke in favor of the
bill, clearly ana forcibly setting forth
the reasons why it should pass. He
rgued that it proposed a great needed
eform in the State.
Mr. Westbrook offered an amendment
fixed 10 per cent, instead of 8 per cent,
tho maximum rate of interest.
Mr. Strother spoke, os he said, with
jreat interest in the bill. He favored a
. ust restriction of the rate of interest.
Mr. Westbrook explained that his
amendment referred only to the conven
tional rate of interest, not affecting the
legal rate.
On the adoption of the amendment
the yeas and nays were called and were
82 nays to 39 yeas. So the amendment
was lost. The bill fixes the rate of in
terest at a maximum of 8 per cent,
but does not interfere witn the law pre-
cribing 7 per cent as the legal rate when
more is stipulated. The bill does not
make it legal to charge more than 8 per
cent even on agreement.
On the passage of the bill the yeas
were 91 and the nays 37. So the bill

THE SPECIAL ORDER
was the consideration of the bill to regu
late the lease and care of the convicts of
this State.
Mr. Livingston moved that the HouBe
go into a committee of the whole for
the consideration of the bill. Agreed
to,
Mr. Yancey was called to the chair to
preside over the session of the commit
tee.
Mr. Livingston spoke earnestly in
favor of the passage of the bill. He es
pecially urged the necessity of the ap
pointment of wardens to see that con
victs are not ill-treated, and that the
State’s interest does not suffer.
Mr. Oliver—Cannot the penitentiary
physician do that ?
Mr. Livingston—No, sir. He stays
here at the capitol and cannot know
what is going on at all the camps.
Mr. Oliver asked some other questions
similar to the above and showed that he
earnestly opposed the bill.
Mr. Paine spoke in favor of the pas
sage of the bill as an act of juetice to
the convicts whom he declared should
receive the especial care of the State.
Mr. King opposed the bill in a vigor
ous speech. He said it was an increase
to the machinery of the penitentiary
system. He said the wardens were to
do the duties which the principal keeper
ought to do. „ ,
Mr. Smith, of Oglethorpe, offered a
iroviso declaring that other camps than
Nos. 1, 2 and 3 could bo established
whenever the Welfare of the convicts de
manded it. Mr. Smith spoke with his
usual clearness in favor of such an
amendment of tho bill.
Mr. Oliver moved to amend by stnk
ing out the fourth section. Lost.
Mr. Livingston and Mr. Paine o
>osed the amendment offered by Mr.
Imith. ,
Mr. Ivey opposed the bill, but seemed
to withdraw his objections when Mr.
Livingston made some statements. He
bad objected because he thought the
bill Interfered with vested right of the
lessees, but Mr. Livingston said they
did not object to it. . .
Mr. Reese offered a proviso that the
bill do not go into until the year 191A

Ireland.
London, Sept. 30.—The Times, on
the disorganizing effects of Parnell’s pol-
»y. says: “It would become really for-
lidable only if it should extend all
over Ireland.”
The PaR Mall Gazette concedes that
the complaints of Iiish tenant farmers
are mostly genuine; that they are for
the moment unable to. pay their rent,
and they believe in their right to re
main on the land. In every event they
are fresh from tho exhortations of the
most popular politician in Ireland (Par
nell) to stick to their homesteads at
whatever consequence. If a general
refusal to pay is followed by wholesale
eviotion, this again will almost certain
ly be followed by a series of agrarian
murders, and unless the Irish Execu
tive is prepared to support landlords by
measures amounting to little leBs than
military occupation of a large part of
the country, landlords will have to
choose between virtually conceding the
tenants’ claim to the fixity of tenure,
and giving the signal for an outbreak
of something hardly distinguishable
from civil war. The anti-rent agita
tion is only one among other symptoms
of the general unrest of Ireland. For
the moment it is most urgent, but even if
the worst pinch of agrarian distress was
relieved by a universal reduction of rent,
there would still be much to disquiet
us in the condition of the country. The
enthusiasm by which Parnell’s progress
has been attended has infinitely weak
ened the hands of the more moderate
Home Rnlen and embolden the ultras,
and among its first results was some
what to precipitate the propqsal to as
semble a national convention. The
fate of this particular project is at pres
ent uncertain, but the agitation upon
which the more violent seotion of Home
Rulers have entered will in one shape
or another produce its inevitable result
upon a party generally troublous. The
prospoot in Ireland is not really affect
ed by the success or failure of any given
scheme for organized pressure upon the
Government. The present temper of
the Irish people and their leaders con
cerns us muoh more Berlously than any
particular proposal for its manifesta
tion, and, while this temper remains
what it is, somi-seditious among the
>eople and recklessly incendiary among
eaders, the situation must be a grave
one, whether the convention ever meets
or not. The old statute, which prohib
ited conventions in Ireland, has been

On motion of Mr. Livingston the
House went into a committee of the
whole to consider a bill to regulate the
lease of the penitentiary convicts. Mr-
Yancey was called to the chair.

Facts About Flour.
Amerioan Miller.
Flour is peculiarly sensitive to the
atmospheric influences, hence it should
never be stored in a room with sour
liquids, nor where onions or fiph are
kept, nor any article that taints the air
of the room in which it is stored. Any
smell perceptible to the sense will be
absorbed by flour. Avoid damp cellars
or lofts Where a free airculation of air
cannot be obtained. Keep in a cool,
dry, airy room, and not exposed to a
freezing temperature nor to intense sum
mer or Co artificial heat for any length
of time above 70 to 75 deg. It should
not come in contact with grain or other
substances which are liable to heat.
Flour should be sifted and the particles
thoroughly disintegrated ana then
warmed before baking. This treatment
improves the color ahd baking proper
ties of the dough. The sponge should
be prepared for the oven as soon as the
yeast has performed its mission, other
wise fermentation Bets in and ascidity
results.
Washington, Sept. 30.—A party in
Illinois applies to the Secretary of the
Treasury for the redemption of five
coupons of United States bonds, repre
senting several thousand dollars. The
applicant alleged that, for safe-keeping,
he had placed the coupons in a tin box
and deposited them in a stovepipe, that
subsequently a fire was built and the
coupons destroyed. The ashes, how
ever, were retained in the box and pre
sented with the application. The de
cision in the case is that the statute au
thorizing the redemption of called
bonds, where clear and unequivocal
evidence has been furnished that they
have been destroyed, does not apply to
coupons which at the time of the de
struction were detached from the bonds;
the coupons in question, having been
detached from the bonds, cannot be re
deemed
The Washington Post boils the exo
dus agitation down to this great truth :
“White labor has produced half the
reat cotton crop of Mississippi, and a
largo percentage of that of other States.
The blaoks are needed in the South and
it will be for their interest to stay there.
But if Northern mischief makers lure
them away, their places can and will be
filled. When any man or class of men
think they can’t be spared, a great mis
take is generally made. There is no place
filled by any man that can’t be refilled
when he leaves it. Cotton will be raised
because it is necessary and a paying
crop. If the negroes will not produce
it, others will do that wok.”
