Mr. Duucau introduced a bill to make it a penal offense for defendants in fieri facias to point out to levying of ficers property not their own in certain cases, and to provide a penalty there for. The bill was read the first time and referred to the judiciary commit tee. The following are the House bills passed by the Senate this day. To amend section 3845 of the revised code of 1873, as to the pay of non-resi dent witnesses for the State—yeas 30; nayc 0.

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 TUU TUUQI.E FEE.

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 On motion of Mr. McWhorter the committee reported progress, and asked leave to sit again. uuu tuuuj MUW IT OIU lOUU lost by adoption of adverse reports committees. 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 Saturday, Oct. 4, The Senate was still occupied discuss ing the Renfroe impeaohment case 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. The bill was resumed at the point left off yesterday. , , The question was first on the amend? offred by Mr. Reese providing that; the bill do not go into effect until the year 19 On the 0 *passage of the bill the yeas were 75 and nays 46, so it tailed of a constitutional majority and was thus lost the second time.

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.” m w the The Athens Watchman says Deupree Opera Houbo will now compare favorably with any place of amusement in the South.
